GET READY FOR INSPECTION PLAINSMAN T O F O S T E R T H E A U B U R N S P I R IT GET READY FOR INSPECTION VOLUME LIII AUBURN, ALABAMA, SATURDAY, APRIL 26, 1930 NUMBER 56 BAIRD'S ORCHESTRA SIGNED TO PLAY FOR FINAL DANCES Southern Serenaders Is a Ten- Piece Brunswick Recording Orchestra FEATURE NOVELTY ACTS Hamilton Delivers Memorial Address Dance Bids Must Be In Before Sunday Night, May 4 th Maynard Baird and his Southland Serenaders, and Brunswick recording orchestra, of Knoxville, Tennessee, will furnish the music for the Final Dances to be held May 16 and 17, according to an announcement made by Henry Reeves, chairman of the Social Committee. Baird will bring a ten-piece orchestra, consisting of a piano, two trumpets, a trombone, three saxophones, doubling on clarinet's, a banjo, drums, and a bass. He will also have a vocal trio, a ballad singer, a blues singer, and many vaudeville specialties, combining ten new acts with "plenty of entertainment, novelty, and pep." Baird promises "a wonderful orchestra— one hundred per cent better than when we played there last fall." He has been playing at the Hotel Andrew Johnson for the past four months, playing five hours every day and rehearsing'three mornings a week. He has also recorded many popular Brunswick records recently and promises that the same novelty and style will be exhibited in the dance music and the vaudeville acts. The Southland Serenaders will start working for the M. C. A. of Cincinnati, May 19. Baird made this statement in a letter to Reeves: "I will have a long jump from Auburn to Cincinnati, anyway it is worth- it as we surely enjoyed playing for Auburn last fall. Bid cards for the dances will be collected Sunday flight, May 4. Plans for the festivities are well under way, and O. D. Asbell and G. W. Swain, who have charge of the decorations, have announced that they would be of Japanese design. This original scheme is to combine the charm of the orient with the pleasing effect of American jazz, according to the designers. The tea dances to take place during the festivities are as follows: Keys, Friday afternoon; Blue Key, Saturday morning; and A-Club, Saturday afternoon. Says Civil War Was Not Lost Cause for The South LARGEST SUMMER SESSION TO OPEN ON JUNE SECOND Standard Junior And Senior High School Courses To Be Offered When the summer session opens at the Alabama Polytechnic Institute here June 2, it will offer a larger and more varied number of courses and have a larger faculty than ever before, according to a statement made by President Bradford Knapp. The official bulletin announcing courses and faculty has just been published and is now being mailed from the office of Dean Zebulon Judd, director. A total of 262 courses are included, 65 of which are new. The faculty will number 95, and is an increase of 8 over the faculty of 1929. One of the most notable increases in courses comes with the addition of subjects of study in library science, the aim of which is to train teachers to serve as librarians in secondary schools. These courses are included in the Auburn bulletin for the first time and have been arranged to meet a demand arising out of the acquisition of libraries by secondary schools, Dr. Knapp and Dean Judd stated. The courses are planned to meet the requirements of the American Library Association and the Southern Association of Colleges and Secondary Schools. They will be taught by Miss Mary Parrent. Though courses in pharmacy have been offered for many years in the regular session, they appear for the first time this year in the summer (Continued on page 4) Giving reasons why the War Be tween the States was not a lost cause for the South the Hon. Claude E Hamilton, mayor of Greenville, delivered the principal address in connection with the annual memorial day celebration here Friday afternoon. The celebration was under the direction of the Admiral Semmes Chaptr of the United Daughters of the Confederacy of which Mrs. P. P. Powell is president. Mayor Hamilton Was introduced by President Bradford Knapp, who acted as master of ceremonies. The first reason he gave why the War Between the States was not a lost cause was the great Southern men that the war produced. He praised Stonewall Jackson as a genius, Stuart as the "most romantic figure of the war," and Lee as the symbol of greatness because of the perfection and harmony of all his attributes. Another reason mentioned was that the war gave the South a solidity. He declared that the struggles of the sixties drew more taut the ties that bound the Southern states together, In this connection he spoke of the South as an advancing section. Mayor Hamilton said also that war gave the South a tradition, helped to preserve that tradition, and exemplified a beautiful idealism Following the address a cross of service was presented to Sgt. John Cooper Ball, World War veteran and son of a Confederate veteran. Sgt. Ball's record was read by Capt. E. S, Ott, and the cross was presented by Mrs. J. M. Burt of Opelika,. president of the Alabama Division, United Daughters of the Confederacy, on behalf of the Admiral Semmes chapter. No Confederate veterans were present at the ceremonies, but the graves of veterans in the Auburn cemetery were decorated. The Auburn Band led the procession to the cemetery. A detachment of the R. 0. T. C. regiment fired a salute over the graves. ENGINEERS WILL ERECT PORTRAIT DEAN WILMORE Life-Size Portrait To Hang In Ramsay Hall; To Be Made By Prof. Staples A full size oil painting of Dean John J. Wilmore, in recognition of forty years of service for the college and the engineering school, will be made as the result of a movement sponsored by students of the engineering department to erect a memorial to the esteemed dean.. The portrait will be swung in Ramsay Hall, but the exact location has not yet been determined. The painting will be made this summer by Roy Staples, instructor in the School of architecture and applied arts. It will be placed on exhibition next fall before being hung in its final position. The project will be financed by the students of the engineering school. Dean Wilmore, now head of the engineering school, graduated from Purdue and came to Auburn as professor of engineering in 1888, and was made dean in 1907. Since that time he has been connected with all the various engineering activities on the campus and has been affiliated with numerous technical societies and fraternities over the South. Quite recently he attended a South-wide convention of the Mining Congress held in Little Rock, Arkansas, as Auburn's and Alabama's delegate. Vet Society Elects Officers For 1931 V. F.

UNIT BEGINS MONDAY To Be Conducted By Major Franke and Capt. Laird; Review Tuesday Captain Laird, of the National Guards in Huntsville, and Major G. H. Franke, Stationed at the 4th Corps Area Headquarters in Atlanta, are the two officers detailed to conduct the annual inspection of the R. O. T. C. unit Monday and Tuesday. They will arrive in Auburn tomorrow afternoon. This will be Captain Laird's first visit to Auburn in the capacity of inspecting officer, but will be Major Franke's third visit as he has inspected the Auburn unit for the last two consecutive years. In order to facilitate the work of the inspectors, on request of the Professor of Military Science and Tactics, Dr. Bradford Knapp has authorized classes to be excused at 4 o'clock Monday afternoon and that all classes be dismissed at 10:45 a. m. Tuesday so that the.students will be able to dress in their uniforms and assemble at the usual 11:00 drill hour. The inspection will not require interruption of the regular schedule in any other way. The inspection of the student phase of the unit will be divided into two parts, Captain Laird inspecting the Engineers, and Major Franke inspecting the Artillery men. The examination of equipment, such as ordinance, vehicles, horses, and storing accommodations will be undertaken by the two men together. The uniform for the inspection periods is as follows; Tuesday, 11-12, blouse and white shirt; all other periods, Seniors—O. D. shirts, grey shirts for others. PLANS ARE PRESENTED FOR ERECTION COLLEGE STADIUM Senior Banquet Is Held Friday Night Over 175 Prospective Graduates Attend Affair At Smith Hall Cost for First Unit, When Completed, Will be $100,000; To Seat 12,000 STUDENTS TO VOTE Prexy Speaks On Alumni Broadcast Speaking on Auburn's development and future growth, Dr. Knapp was the principal speaker on the alumni program broadcasted over WAPI from the Comer hall studio Friday night. J. V. Brown, alumni secretary also appeared on the program, giving a resume of the plans being made for the annual Alumni Day to be held here on May 19. The Auburn Glee Club under the direction of John W. Brigham rendered several selections, and Professor Earl Hazel played a piano solo. The first part of the Auburn program to be broadcasted next Friday will be a thirty minute Boy Scout program, and the remaining half hour will be devoted to a program by Abie Hardin and his Collegians. TENNIS TEAM TO MEET TENNESSEE The Auburn tennis team will meet the University of Tennesse net stars on the Y. M. C. A. courts adajacent to the Lambda Chi Alpha fraternity house Tuesday. The line-up is as follows: Howard Halse, No. 1; George Averill, No. 2; George Washington Smith, No. 3; and John Wilson, No. 4. Lieutenant Townsley is coaching the Auburn team. The Senior class banquet, the climax of all the senior activities, was held last night represented by the class with about 175 members. Smith Hall, decorated for the occasion with the class colors of green and white in the form of leaves, garlands and pots of flowers, was the scene of gayety and good cheer as the seniors renewed their activities of the past four years and held up different incidents of the student life for that particular period. A Slight touch of sadness, however, permeated the air, as they realized that their school days in Auburn would soon be over. Led by Hayley Milligan, president of the class of 1930, as toastmaster and master of ceremonies, the affair, attended by Dr. and Mrs. Bradford Knapp, and other guests and friends of the seniors started at eight o'clock. John Carreker delivered the Senior class oration. He drew a picture of the past years and told of the "shining light" that started with the class and grew brighter every year gathering in with it the spirit and character of Auburn. "Now, at this banquet the light is the brightest. Go out after graduation and carry this light with you." Dr. Bradford Knapp then arose to greet the class. He spoke about the question which is now arousing much discussion, "Who ought to go to college?" "There are a great many boys in colleges who ought not to be there, and a great many not there who really ought to have better opportunities. State schools, are confronted with this problem more than privately endowed schools." It is a certificate of four years spent in gathering education, not a badge of admission to ready employment and a reserved niche' in life. "Men will either attain their goal in life or fall short of it. Whatever happens is the result of their own attempts. If you wish to be a success, love your work. Enter into it with your whole heart and soul. There may (Continued on page 4) Bonds Bearing Five Percent Interest May Be Offered To Alumni and Others Only Woman Graduate In Agriculture Passes Mrs. Sara Kirkwood Dies In Opelika Tuesday Mrs. Sara Spratling Kirkwood, president of the Alabama Council of Home Demonstration Agents, and a graduate of Auburn, died at her home in Opelika Tuesday of this week. She was known to her friends in Auburn as Sally Spratling, probably the only woman who ever received a degree in agriculture at Auburn. She was a member of Chi Omega sorority, a member of the Ag Club, and a member of Gamma Sigma Delta, national agricultural honorary fraternity. Definite plans for the erection of a football stadium with an ultimate seating capacity of forty thousand people were set forth by Dr. Knapp at a special convocation called Friday morning. The plans call for immediate construction to begin the valley west of Drake Field, and sections having a seating capacity of twelve thousand will probably be ready for use by the last of the 1930 season Dr. Knapp stated. The cost of construction will be approximately $6.50 per seat, which gives a cost of $78,000 for the building. The cost of drainage and grading the land will be in the neighborhood of $22,000 bringing the total cost to $100,000. To obtain the necessary finances one thousand, one hundred dollar bonds at 5 percent interest are to be issued. The bonds will be payable on or before a certain date so that they may be retired before that date if matters allow it. The plan is to offer the bonds to the alumni so that they may have a hand in the project, however, they will be sold to anyone desiring them. According to the plans the student body is to pay off the debt in seventeen annual installments. The payments will be voted on by the respective classes.- No student is being compelled to make these payments, the decision being left entirely to the individual. The students will vote by classes, each class to decide whether or not its members will sponsor the proposed plans for the erection of the stadium. Three methods of obtaining these funds will be used; first, each student shall vote to contribute the whole of his contingent fee remaining at the end of the school year; second, each student shall vote to pay $3.00 (Continued on page 4) AG FROSH ENTER JUDGING CONTEST Sixty-Five Of Eighty-Five Already EI:-.:r-ted Educational Authorities To Decide Establishment Of Loan Fund Office Whether or not there will be established and operated in Alabama a central organization for soliciting and handling loan funds for students at the various institutions of learning will be -determined by the educational authorities of the State, in the opinion of Professor Charles W. Edwards, assistant registrar, who is chairman of a committee created by the Association of Alabama Colleges to investigate the subject and make recommendations. Other members of the committee are Dean G. W. Mead of Birmingham Southern College, and Dr. Henry J. Willing-ham, president of the Florence Normal College. The committee has been told that a control organization would increase loan funds and facilitate handling them, Mr. Edwards said. Such an organization, if created, would handle the loan business for the various institutions of the State. At the same time no institution would lose its identity because institutional funds would be handled as much by this organization, Mr. Edwards explained. Along with institutional funds there may be general funds to be appropriated among the various institutions on a fair and equitable basis, he added. J|n other states this method of handling funds is working well. It organizes and systematizes the business with a result that better service is rendered to the donor of the money and also the students who use it in obtaining an education. Twenty students who are freshmen in agriculture at the Alabama Polytechnic Institute have entered the finals in the annual livestock judging contest which will end early in May. The entire class of 85 students entered the contest at the beginning and 65 of them have been eliminated. At the finals, winners of the various classes in livestock judging will be determined and prizes consisting of. five loving cups awarded. The best judge of dairy cattle will be given a cup presented by Dean M. J. Funchess of the college of agriculture. The best judge of beef cattle will receive a cup awarded by the class and the best judge of hogh will receive a cup presented by the department of animal husbandry. The best judge of all classes and the second best judge of all classes will each receive a cup presented by the departments of animal husbandry and dairying. The contest is under the direction of Prof. W. H. Eaton and Prof. W. E. Sewell. Competition from the beginning of the contest has been keen and Professor Eaton and Sewel anticipate keen competition until the winners are determined. Students in the finals are R. M. Lawson, T. P. Melton, R. Newton, W. B. Paterson, H. M. Stenson, J. M. Owen, C. Patterson, R. A. Thornton, E. W. Thdmbs, M. Phillips, J. W. Griffin, R. A. Jenkins, G. D. Batchel-dor, C. E. Deal, J. E. Green, B. F.

Students Have Chance To Head Stadium Construction The effort put forth by the student body is going to determine the success of the plan discussed by Dr. Knapp in convocation yesterday for the construction of a stadium in Auburn. A brief outline of the plan is that one thousand one hundred debenture bonds, bearing five per cent interest, is to be issued and sold to friends and alumni of the institution. This hundred thousand dollars, which represents the total outlay of the first unit of twelve thousand seat's of a proposed forty thousand seat stadium, will be retired in seventeen years by the payment of three dollars per year per student and the donation of the contingent fee of each man plus the small balance in the class treasuries each .year. These bonds can be retired in that length of time if not a cent can be used from the proceeds of the athletic contest's in which Auburn will be engaged in each year. The student of Auburn can take the initiative from the hands of a rather skeptical alumni association and prove the possibility of a stadium from this source by putting their shoulders to the wheel and help Auburn through the athletic mire in which several years of athletic reverses have placed her. This is the one great opportunity open to the student's to give Chet Wynne and the team an even break against the jinx that has followed Auburn so relentlessly in the past by preparing and making possible a place for them to play in Auburn. From a financial point of view the scheme as advanced for raising the money is entirely possible. There is absolutely no reason why these bonds cannot be sold and redeemed very easily, for the good name of the institution will be behind the sales of the bonds and an enthusiastic student body will be bearing the brunt of the burden of redeeming them. No appeals of sympathy are to be sent out; no donations are requested; but a good business proposition is open to those who desire to invest their money safely. It is feasible; it is a sound investment, and it will also prove beneficial to the institution. We hope that the students will have class meetings and discuss this project fully, and then take a favorable vote on the stadium question in a campus-wide poll later on. Fine Horsemanship Is Displayed In Annual Show The Horse Show to be held here on May Day is one annual event that has grown in popularity until it has assumed a leading position in Auburn's spring sporting events. Great interest is shown in this competitive match each year and the fight for superior horsemanship is very keen and hotly contested. It is well to note that in this day when horse power is at a minimum and is steadily growing less due to the many machine inventions of the past few decades that the love for sporting events in which horses play a part has steadily increased. These events, in which interest runs higher than in any other sport, can attribute their popularity partly to the fact that in no other sport can a contestant and the means by which he is able to compete have that bond of understanding and common effort that exist between a rider and his horse. In the horse show understanding is at its zenith, for with the slightest mistake the contestant is out of the race. So few of us have an opportunity to view the horse in action at the height of his mental and physical ability that the annual show has a respected place on the college calendar. This year there are several added features, while more men are out for the matches than in the past. In sponsoring this event the military department is paving the way for probably the greatest spring event in Auburn. The interest in it is always paramount, while the fight for the cups and medals display horsemanship that is seldom seen in Auburn. The military department is again showing its willingness to promote contests of a nature creating interest throughout the student body. Expedition to Explore An Unknown Territory Syracuse University plans to send an expedition of scientists into the Andes Mountains for a four months' exploration into territory in which no scientist has ventured and returned alive. The party, with its base at San Cristabal, and activities extending for two hundred miles into unknown territory, will be composed of professors of geography, geology, botany, and zoology. They plan to bring back specimens for the science museum at the university and the city municipal zoo. Another feature of this expedition will be the investigation of rumors of lost cities and traditions of Eldorado. The customs of the Indians will also be studied. Due to the fact that several years ago Indians drove out the only other white explorers in this territory, the members of the expedition have been asked to sign papers releasing the college of liability in case they are injured or killed as the result of contagious diseases or by the Indians. This trip is being financed by an alumnus of the institution who refuses to allow his name to be given out. He prefers to let the explorers and public know nothing of his gift. It is interesting to see expeditions such as this going on. Men are willing to give their lives for science; they are willing to endure hardships that many are unfitted to face, while there are a few who are searching for a thrill. They will probably be satisfied before reaching the United States again, for warring Indians, death by poisoned arrows, diseases bad enough to wipe out the entire party, and a hundred other dangerous things that will be encountered are enough to make this trip a very memorable and worthy event should it prove successful. Experimental College Is To Be Discontinued We notice in dispatches from the University of Wisconsin that its Experimental college is to be discontinued at the end of this semester. This announcement comes as a surprise" to some few who considered it a very feasible plan for collecting the most scholastically prominent students on that campus and from other schools throughout the nation into one student body for the purpose of studying together, while some have been doubtful of its value since its beginning three years ago. This college, an innovation among the educational institutions of the country, has been going on for three years, during which time special attention has been paid to the students mentioned above. Even though it is to be abandoned, the college is not considered a failure inasmuch as it was wholly an experiment. The result's have been such that they are to be applied to the freshmen and sophomores enrolled there. No one can deny that a plan of getting outstanding students together is bad, as their life, environment, habits, and achievements can be closely studied. The Gecko I am the Gecko who professes to know it all. I can not supply the least bit of information without an ostentatious display of pedantry. Although I am already famous as a liar, I must pretend to know many things with which I am not in the least acquainted, as I must remain on a par with my professors and comrades, for if it were not for me, what would they do without the bits of higher learning that I, alone, can supply? In every argument I must supply the authentic decision, even if it is disregarded by those who are around. If in doubt, ask me. The more dangerous thing, and much harder to get rid of than the inferiority complex, is the superiority complex. Stanley Baldwin. Prexy's Paragraphs By Bradford Knapp The classes t h is year have been anxious to have the honor of being the first to carry on regular work in the Ross Chemical Laboratory and I have consented to this arrangement. I am glad to see that Auburn has a golf team. In many of the leading institutions of this country golf is regarded as an important minor sport. Naturally it is a sport that is hard to carry because there is no money income in it. The boys that are making up the team this year realize this fully and I appreciate their fine cooperation. They are anxious to enter into one or two tournaments this year and I am sincerely hopeful that they may have the opportunity of so doing. The Tiny Tiger Minature Golf Links has offered to help in this respect by giving one half of its receipts on May 1. This is an excellent and thoughtful piece of cooperation. It is hard to raise money. The boys are not going to ask the athletic department to contribute but are trying to get money on their own account. Every bit of help from friends in town will aid in the work. * * * * We are finishing curbings and walks about the Ross Chemical Laboratory, not in as complete form as they will be ultimately but much more complete than they have ever been finished around any building on the campus. We want to set a good example here and get people to thinking in terms of the ultimate completion of curbing the side, walks to all the buildings on the campus. * * * * Seniors are beginning to feel more closely drawn together. It is an unusual experience, this experience of graduating from college. When you have spent four years here you learn not only how to be a good Auburn man, how to love Auburn and how to appreciate your fellow students, but in the last few weeks of school theer is a peculiarly deep attachment very largely the result of the consciousness that these days will soon be over. The senior banquet on Friday night is the beginning of the new day for these fine men and women whom we have had here with us for four years. I am wondering if we ought not to have a number of convocations before the end of school and at the convocations let the seniors take the place of honor. On Thursday, May 8, there "is to be a special Honors Convocation at 11:00 a. m. May I not suggest that the Student Council take charge of the seating on that day .and that every senior be present and in his place. At the end of the convocation let all the rest of us stand while the seniors pass out first? If it is our good fortune to have some other convocation, and I think we shall have some between now and Commencement, let me suggest we do this same thing. If it appeals to the student body, I would like to see us do something special as a mark of respect for this senior class and continue it as a practice for every senior class. What I mean by something special is some public recognition of the seniors. Seniors are not going to demand that they be given this recognition. It is up to the rest of us to accord it to them". How about it? EASTER TRAGEDIES The burning to death of more than 300 persons in a prison fire was in itself a terror to contemplate, but the circumstances connected with this loss of life added to the shock of it all. The prison was an old one, with timbers seasoned by time to a point of quick inflammability, with men locked inside and the blaze spreading at a pace so fast as to preclude any attempt at getting them out. The helplessness of the situation was as appalling to those on the outside, as it was terrifying to the men locked within, who could do nothing but rave and wait the coming of the blaze that was to roast them. It was the major tragedy of the times, and, singularly enough, about the same time it was being enacted, over in the Old Country the victims of a church holocaust were being buried. At a parish church in Bucharest, 15.000 people had gathered to celebrate Good Friday Vigil. The church was packed, while hundreds stood about. The villagers had come afoot and on donkeys, and inside the caskets were being decorated with Easter eggs, fruits and cakes, when a bit of drapery caught fire, the exits were jammed and the crowds on the outside saw 122 people burned to death, just as the helpless crowds around the penitentiary cells saw the more than 300 victims roasted to death. Verily, the Easter season of 1930 was marked by tragedy that will go down among the horrors of history. —Charlotte Observer.

But even that answer querry was rather intelligent for the inhabitants of Ag hill. * * * * * * * * * The "Mary Anne" is the sole locomotive of the Cassville and Exeter Railway, which has a total, length of four and nine-tenths miles, connecting, the village of Cassville, county seat of Barry, Missouri, and Exeter. It is the shortest individually owned steam operated railroad in the United States. The veteran engineer is also pnresident of the railroad. At least he has no overhead expenses. * * * * * * * * * Then there was the man whose cook left because he talked rough to her when he" thought he . was talking to his wife. The television should be placed in telephone systems so thati such tragic mistakes will not be made by the busy office man. * * * * * * * * * For the first time something will be done to see that the prisoners in prisons throughout the country are" not in fire hazards. This will be beneficial even though the first cost in the conflagetion a few days ago was far too costly. * * * * * * * * * Even Hoover is awakening to the depressing business conditions in the nation, for he has at last called for nearly thirty million dollars worth of work. It is almost a piker's amount though, for each man in the United States will be able to do about five or six dollars worth of work now until that amount is used up. * * * * * * * * * These poor seniors are about to undergo the last hardship inflicted on them by collefe -life. After they have been struggling for themselves a few - weeks, how thy will longe for th good old days in college when there was nothing to do but study a few hours, make classes about that long, play golf, attend movies, and sleep! ' * * * * * * * * * * We hear that some, of the boys down at Panama City have been having a wild time. Their frivolities were wild enough to curb any turbulent curves that happened to come along. * * * * * * * * The-most choice morsel of the week or season, if you insist, has been the activities of Barney* It seems that this whirlwind figure in Auburn has been filling very competently many useful places. Barney excels in dramatic achievements more than anything else. When he first came to Auburn last Summer, he had a time finding enough things that needed to be done to take up his time, but now he is never seen loafing any, for standing around the street corner has been proclaimed his occupation. In fact, he has been standing around and flitting around so much his legs have been worn off several inches, thus partly accounting for his shortness. If he will keep this up for a while,-he will be in a position to get a job as a midget in a show somewhere, thereby continuing in his best work. Mr. Barney has been helping with all the shows put on in Auburn; it is he whom everyone looks to see that every detail of a show is accounted for, and his presence will be sorely missed when he becomes an ornament for the sandy beaches of Florida within a few weeks. The women of Florida especially will be given a real bi-eak when they have the opportunity to meet this dashing young man against whom Romeo would have had more sense than to compete. That debonair attitude which characterizes this familiar figure will again be finding its mark after he has been down there for a few weeks. We haven't been able to find out whether Barney plans to open a drugstore down there or not, but should be open a stand near the beach, his place of business would assuredly be awarded the prize for being the most attractive down there, as the bathing beauties would seek this seclusion above all others. Possibly he will provide them with seclusion. Eh, what? * * * * * * * * * He fell down the other day—he was intoxicated with thoughts. * * * * * * * * Mr. Fair Jones Bryant attributes his giant intellect to the fact that he was born in a room twenty feet cubed. This mighty power of understanding and learning, almost the cube of any of his classmates, is supposed to have been the result of this rather unique and original background. * * * * * * * * * Dean Petrie is finding trouble getting students to study United States history, pending the release of Mr. Coolidge's five hundred word version. * WITH OTHER COLLEGES * GOING FORWARD The following announcement recently appeared in the Howard Crimson, Howard College student publication: "We, the members of Alpha Pi Chapter of Pi Kappa Alpha, take this means of voicing ojir disapproval of political lineups. Each member has declared his objection to such conditions as exist at the present time in regard to line-ups and political bosses. Furthermore, it is our intention to vote individually upon the merits and qualifications of the candidate. We give this notice as a means of our efforts to abolish group voting." Signed, Fred Tenty, Jr., President. We take great pride in our railroading tactics, brown on the nose, etc methods, don't we? Ability, popularity, and meri-tious work are often overlooked in the grand rush for offices. Not much honor can be left to the victorious candidate by the time the election is over. * * * ' * * GOING BACKWARD Students at the University of Indiana aren't getting any breaks this winter, it seems—or may be they're receiving only "breaks". No longer any members of the venerable institution "moon" over their diminutive partners within the cloistered precincts of a parked car. A most stringent and terrifying rule has been passed which solemnly forbids any student from transporting his "belle femme" to a dance in an automobile unless the driver of the vehicle is a parent of either party of the date. How thoughtful. We hope that we are out of college before the little rascals are required to dance with no one but their parents. Big headlines as seen for 1950: "Two Hundred Out of Town Mothers Expected To Make Hop." . * * * * * NATURAL GAS Courses in petroleum and natural gas study will be incorporated in the Penn State College's curriculum next year. The action, to start these new courses, was taken when it was discovered that there were insufficient well trained engineers to supply the demand of the Pennsylvania oil fields. Only two per cent of the men in this field had technical training as compared with the five or six per cent in the older engineering fields. * * * * * OF COURSE "Courtesy is one of the earmarks of Purdue students," stated the director of the coming Harleyquin Club show to be held at. Purdue soon. "Only one other school where I have been (and I have had the opportunity to visit a large number) has as courteous a student group. That is Yale. The students have been courteous to me since my arrival here, that I dislike very much to reprimand them in practice." That's HOW ABOUT'THE STADIUM Have you pictured the mighty Tiger of '33 proudly prancing out onto' the grand field in the new stadium, unconquerable, big and great? Why not? We have the best coach in the country in Wynne, and who can say that we don't have the material? Are we prepared to meet the issue and build a great stadium on which the mighty Tiger of the Plains can meet his foe? Our new football coach, and the snarling Tiger is going somewhere! Auburn is again to take its place at the head of Southern football. The old Auburn Spirit is reviving. Let's push together and set that mighty bowl on the greater Auburn campus. We spend more money on one football trip than the plans for the building the stadium calls for per student per year. Why not make a little investment then? What could be a greater memorial to the present student body of Auburn than a magnificent stadium placed in the hollow just west of Drake Field, as a result of our enthusiasm and hopes for this institution? Are we going to get all pepped up and go "hog-wild" and build this stadium? Why not start the excavation work by next September? THOUGHTS IN SILHOUETTE '•By ^Kerr THogenese ^eufelsdrockh EDITOR'S NOTE: The opinions expressed ia this column are not necessarily the editorial opinions of' this paper. It is a column of personal comment, and is not to be read as an expression of our editorial policy. * * * * EVERY normal man hates hypocrisy; yea hypocrisy is quite prevalent in our modern society. The word hypocrisy and hypocrit is usually associated with old cronies and the ladies aid societies, but unfortunately those are not the only mediums harboring the element of hypocrisy. Some analytical study, even from an embryonic and puny intellect, of the common hated element might facilitate something by way of eradication. There are two kinds of hypocrisy, one of the reverse of the other. There is the hypocrisy of pretending to be better than we are, and there is the hypocrisy of pretending to be worse, meaner and smaller, than we really are. The first kind is held in general abhorrence; the second kind is exceedingly and painfully common in our modern society. Of course there. is the hypocrisy commonly referred to as two-faced, but that is indicative of a low, mean, and cowardly personality and is deliberatedly participated in, rather than being a complex; hence being quite above help through any kind of analysis or anything short of mortal combat. There is something in the native American temper which compels that steady repression of the best. Doubtless it comes to us from the English stock—so different from the emotional temperament of the Latins— which always shrinks from the slightest betrayal of feeling. The English habitually uses understatement of his deeper convictions. He talks of "doing his bit" when he means laying down his life. He says "rather" when he means "with all my heart". As for shedding undignified tears, no calamity could impell him to do such a supposedly unmanly thing. Stern self-repression, exercised through many centuries, means that men of Saxon heritage will never betray to any spectator—sometimes not to the closest friend—their sympathy, or affection, or religious devotion. To such a man there seems something indecent about exposing one's heart to the gaze of the public. Worse than that he thinks to do so would be indicative of a hollow, weak-kneed, weakling, and, of course, he must at all times hold himself up as a big he-man. On this campus may be found men who, by a strange perversion of modesty, deliberately seek to appear worse than they are. They falsely entertain the idea that to be "hard" and "mean" is to be a strong man of much manly prowess—that is the reputation they covet. To seem sympathetic toward a professor or fellow classman is to be though weak and flabby. Hence they cultivate a very harsh manner, wear a cold arrogant attitude, conceal all private benevolence, and cultivate a reputation for being "hard". They take a curious pride in hiding their finer feelings and exhibiting this hard, cold he-man racket. All of us, whatever our pedigree, are usually ashamed of our best. The average college man is as "shy as a girl". He positively blushes to be discovered in an act of kindness, is sometimes ashamed of his loyalty to his Mother or his girl, and most always wants to be considered "tough", as if toughness were identical with strength. He conceals his love of the finer things, keeps down under the decks his ethics, and keeps on exhibiton only the pose of the college man. Why should the worst in us get itself easily uttered, and the best be crowded down and suppressed? Why do we so lightly utter our poorer selves—in cheap" music, bro-midic conversation, stale humor, in "knocking" and "crabbing"—and hide away the nobler finer self. All of our lives we have been taught to suppress our feelings, and hence when we have a reaction that we do not understand we immediately think it evil. Unless we give free rein to the desires that lie deepest in the hidden recesses of our minds we are condemmed to a life of mediocrity. Taboos and conventions and inherited fears and senseless inhibitions, along with the puritanical training to suppress all feelings, have so made cowards of us all that we have kept our best selves under lock and key. Ths is the characteristic hypocrisy of the college man. Let yourself out, but see to it that you do not let those desires out that you share with the monkey and the hyena, rather than those which you share with the saints of yesterday and the heroes of today. The finer- self, which for so long has been concealed from the public, let our will do much toward eradicating the college hypocrisy.

SATURDAY, APRIL 26, 1930 THE PLAINSMAN PAGE THREE Alumni of Mississippi A . & M. Begin Fight on Chadwick, Athletic Director Declaring that Mississippi A. & M is rapidly sinking into athletic oblivion as a result of retention of W. D. Chadwick, athletic director, mem bers of the newly-formed Birmingham Mississippi A. & M. Club unanimously endorsed previous action Wednesday night calling for Chadwick's resignation and demanding a general housecleaning in management of college sports. The meeting was in the form of a dinner at the Bankhead Hotel and was attended by what was said to have been the largest gathering of A. & M. alumni in the history of alumni meetings in the city. Dave Birmingham, president, presided. It has been impossible to keep good baseball coaches at the A. .& M. on account of Chadwick, it was charged. Jealously and general disagreeable-ness on Chadwick's part have been responsible for this, it was said. Eight coaches have come and gone since 1919, it was pointed out, "and the end is not yet unless Chadwick is removed." Chadwick has been with the institution, either as head football coach or athletic director, 20 years, it was pointed out, "during the whole of which time no conspicious football teams have been developed." "Of late years," President Birmingham said in outlining the situation, "the college has been going steadily down hill, athletically, and, I may add, in other ways, and if the alumni do not take a hand, I am afraid we are going to slip completely out of the picture." Rufus H. Low, secretary of the Memphis Mississippi A. & M. Club, scored Chadwick's athletic policies and also put the president, Dr. Buzz Walker, on the griddle. "There is a political clique running the Mississippi A. & M. and Dr. Walker is the head of it," Low said. "Every time we start out after Chadwick's scalp, Dr. Walker checkmates our moves. We are in a vicious cycle and unless we do something to extricate ourselves, we're sunk. You see what has happened to Auburn. Well, Auburn's plight is no comparison to ours. Auburn simply slipped out of the football picture, but she is coming back. Everybody can see that. But if Auburn and A. & M. and a few others don't improve, they will be weeded out of the Southern Conference and dropped to the class of much smaller institutions." Low dwelt at length on the athletic situation which he summed up by saying "We've simply had too much Chadwick." "Chadwick is a consistent loser," Low declared, "and since he dominates the whole athletic situation at the college, he must go if we ever get anywhere." It was agreed on this score to oppose Noble's selection as head football coach when the matter of a successor to Hancock comes up for approval by the advisory board of the alumni association and the board of trustees when they meet at the college in June. The meeting adjourned with the expressed determination to "meet regularly until we clear up this situation and get rid of Chadwick." Another meeting will be called before the state meeting at the college in June. The Birmingham Club's action followed similar action by the Memphis Club and many clubs in Mississippi, notably the Meridian Club. "There are 21 A. & M. Clubs in Mississippi, and, with only a few exceptions, these have not expressed themselves; they are opposed to a continuation of the Chadwick regime," said Low. Low also dealt with the academic side of the college's life and declared that Mississippi, through the A. & M. "has an opportunity to become the Wisconsin of the South in dairying, but is not taking advantage of this." "Dairy barn facilities are obsolete,'' Low declared. Mississippi A. & M. has long been noted for its creamery and dairy supplies, which are sold throughout the South, and Low's criticisms in this respect were pointed to as further evidence of this college's handicaps. "Why, the basket ball team has to practice in the high school gymnasium because we have no gymnasium," Low declared. "Think of that—a magnificent institution, with the potential strength it has—with the cream of young Anglo-Saxon manhood, having to put up with such conditions." Appointment of Dudey Noble, former freshman coach, as temporary coach to succeed John Hancock, who resigned, was not altogether pleasing to the members of the alumni, either. Noble, it was developed, is well liked by alumni, but is not regarded as a coach of ability. Naming of "Red" Cagle, former Army star, as assistant coach, however, was hailed with delight. Cagle's appointment was brought about through the influence of the Meridian Club, it was said. Noble, it was declared, is an ideal baseball coach, and might fit in as an athletic director, but is not the man for the head- coaching job on the grid- Photos Show Chet Wynne As Versatile Athlete Whigham, Hodge BaiRe Tigers as All-Stars Win Failing to hit with men on bases helped send the Auburn Tigers down to defeat before the Enterprise All- Stars. The Tigers had 12 stranded on the paths in losing an 8 to 3 verdict. ' The tilt with the Enterprise nine was scheduled as a practice tilt before the Plainsmen met the University of Florida in a three-game series, Thursday, Friday and Saturday in Panama City. The Sheridan men collected only four hits off the combined offerings of Steel Arm Whigham, former Au burn twh-ler, and Shovel Hodge, former Chicago White Sox pitcher. Enterprise had five of the 1930 Auburn team in its line-up and several other ex-collegians. Ray Prim, ace of the Orange and Blue hurling staff will start on the niound against the fighting Gators from Gainesville. Charles Kaley, another sophomore, will be behind the plate. Lefty Fisher and Shirley will be the batteries for Florida.

Wolff Hotel Company Operators Charles A. Johnson Manager Coach Wilbur HutselPs Auburn track team will engage in its third meet of the season Saturday evening in Atlanta, where the Tigers participate in the first Southeastern A. A. U. meet under giant arc lights. The 1930 Orange and Blue team is inexperienced, but the showings made in the Southern Relays and in the dual meet with the University of Georgia were very pleasing to Coach Hut-sell. The Hutsellmen sprang a surprise in winning the duel meet with Coach H. J. Stegeman's Red and Black track-sters. Georgia has one of the best thinly-clad teams in the Southern Conference, as veterans largely compose their team. Since sophomores and juniors are playing prominent roles on the Plainsmen cinder team, it was thought that Capt. Buck Anderson & Co. would break the tie that has lasted for two years and emerge victorious, but the Tigers were inspired and won their first dual meet of the season, 71 2-3 to 54 1-3. Auburn placed 25 times in the meet with the Georgians, with sophomores and juniors trying for major honors with nine each, while the seniors only placed seven times. Coach Hutsell will depend upon the following tracksters for victory in the S. A. A. U.: Lawrence Chamblee, 100- yard dash; Capt. Earnest Bell and Clay Jones, 440-yard dash; Samuel O'Hara, 220 and broadjump; James McClendon and Eugene Gray, half-mile; Clarence Roberts, two-mile; Jack Stewart, high jump and high hurdles; Garland Beard, high and low hurdles; Joe Hughes and Thomas Gail-lard, pole vault; Elmus Burnett, high and broad jump; William Coleman, shot put and discus, and Sam Robinson, javelin. Sigma Phi Beta Entertains With Formal Tea The Sigma Phi Beta entertained on Sunday, April 13, with a formal tea at the home of Dr. and Mrs. Bradford Knapp. Mrs. Knapp, Miss Dobbs, Officers, and alumnae members of the sorority received the guests in the West Parlor, from which they were then conducted to the dining room by Mrs. E. W. Camp and Mrs. S. B. Hay patronesses of the sorority. In the dining room candle light, subdued chatter, and fragrance of spring flowers found a fitting background for the tea table from which Miss Dana Gatchell and Mrs. L. D. Stodghill dispersed tea and coffee while members and pledges of the sorority served guests with the accompanying sandwiches, mints, and nuts. Both dining rooms' and parlors were in the sorority colors of purple and white with sweet peas, iris, wisteria and hyacinths. About one hundred guests including members of the faculty, townspeople and students called during the tea hour. Early Breakfast Enjoyed At Wright's Mill Sunday Members of Sigma Phi Beta enjoyed an early breakfast at Wright's Mill Sunday morning. The long drive, crisp air, and climb over the rocks combined to make 'the camp-fire breakfast of bacon, eggs, rolls, coffee, pickles, and fruit one of particular zest to all the party. Mrs. Bohler Honored With Informal Tea A beautiful informal tea was given at the home of Mrs. J. T. High on Wednesday afternoon from four to six honoring Mrs. G. M. Bohler. The living and dining rooms were made very attractive with pink sweet peas, ferns, and tapers. Delicious refreshments of pink and green were served to Mesdames Baughman, Crenshaw, Copeland, Stodgill, Funchess, Garrett, Brooks, Edwards, Parrish, Rush, Bohler, Cad-dell, Hay, Burns, Sahag, Duncan, camp, Lowery, Palmer, Creel, and Miss Mary Martin. Miss Louise Bedell is spending a few days in Virginia. The jinx of Auburn's 1930 baseball team—southpaws cost the Tigers their seventh conference game of the season on Thursday afternoon, Coach Brady Cowell's Florida 'Gators winning a well deserved victory, 3 to 2. The loss was the Tigers' fourth in the conference and boosted Florida's standing to 600. Two brilliant left handers were chosen for mound duty with Ray pitching for Auburn and Fisher for Florida. Both hurled winning ball. But the 'Gators connected with the horsehide with men on the bases, while Auburn failed twice in the pinches. Each twirler gave up only six hits and both held the opposing batters hit-less for four stanzas. Fisher whiffed six and walked, two, while Prim caused two to swing at the ozone and issued free transportation to one. Auburn scored their first tally in the second on a double by Burt and a single by Lloyd. Their final run came in the fifth when Kaley singled, advanced to second when Fiske dropped Riley's fly, went to third on a sacrifice and scored Auburn's' final run when Hodges came through with a screaming single. Florida scored two in the second on Saul's single, a sacrifice by Fiske, a triple, by Evers and' a sacrifice fly to left by Slough. The winning run was scores in the fourth frame when Pate booted Fiske's grounder. Fiske went out on a fielder's choice, Prim to Pate, Evers being safe at first. Evers went to second while Lloyd was throwing out Slough and Fisher won his own game when he popped over second, Capt. Crawford barely missing it. Auburn threatened to score more than one run in the fifth as they loaded the bases after their final run, but Ben Newton, who had backed Derr, Florida centerfielder, to the far corner of the field in the second before making a beautiful catch of his fiy, popped up to Fisher. Again in the seventh Newton was at bat with his mates on third and second, but he again made the third out by flying to Fiske who came over from left field to catch the ball in center. The game was one of the best played by two college teams in this section in quite a while. Derr, Shirley, Lag-ano and Riley gave the 1,500 fans several thrills by their brilliant fielding, while Ed Sauls and Joe Burt did likewise with the bat. Sauls getting a triple and single and Burt a double and single. The two teams meet in the second of the three-game series Friday afternoon. AUBURN ab. r. h.po. a. e.

Wynne said he has offered the position to Kiley and expected him to accept. Wynne who will leave Omaha and Creighton Sunday, said he would go to Chicago before coming here to personally offer ihe position to Kiley. Kiley played at Notre Dame during the same years as Wynne, 1920, 21 and 22. In his final year there he was chosen on the All-American team by the late Walter Camp. Since then he coached two years at Loyola University in Chicago, but at. present is practicing law in that city. However, he aided Wynne in spring football drills held at Creighton on this year. Wynne also announced that his younger brother, Elmer might be given the backfield assistant's job.

A. Sims, State leader, reveals that more than 16,000 Alabama farm boys will work under the 4-H banner this year. Already 16,023 names have been received by Mr. Sims from the county agents and his estimate is that 500 more will be received within the next few days. This compares with a total of 13,- 385 for 1929, which exceeded former years. Throughout the State boys have been enrolled by the county agents and organized by them into local clubs in order to make their work more effective and more enjoyable. Cullman county appears to be lead- LARGEST SUMMER SESSION TO OPEN ON JUNE SECOND (Continued from page 1) session bulletin. Six courses will be taught by Prof. L. S. Blake. The bulletin also shows marked expansion in the school of graduate studies under Dean George Petrie. A total of 37 courses are offered in this school, and 18 of them are included in the bulletin for £he first time. A large number of these are in education, but other subjects are included, especially home economics. Under Prof. Louise P. Glanton all the graduate work offered* in the regular session will be offered in the summer session. - Three interesting courses in business administration under Dean J. W. Scott, are offered for the first time in the summer session. They are real estate, foreign trade, and advertising, and will be taught by J. M.»Herren, instructor in economics. Nine new "courses are offered in education, among them being ones on education and recent psychology, and philosophy of education to be taught by Dr. Robert B. Raup, visiting professor, and associate professor of education at Columbia University. Dr. Raup is one of 18 visiting teachers who will supplement the regular Auburn faculty. Others are Dr. James K. Greer, professor of American history at Howard College; Robert E. Cammack, State supervisor of vocational agriculture, Montgomery; Karl M. Scott, instructor in economics at University of Illinois; and Edward F. Williams, instructor in ' chemistry, school of medicine, University of Tennessee. In addition, Dr. Edwin Barlow Evans, extension professor of English for Auburn, will do his initial teaching on the campus. A distinct unit of the summer session will be a standard junior and senior high school. This unit is organized to serve teachers who are not high school graduates, high school students who wish to make up back work, and prospective college student's who wish to remove college entrance conditions. It will be used as a training school for college students studying education, and will be directed by Dr. Paul Irvine, associate professor of education.- Special courses for teachers of vocational agriculture have been arranged beginning July 14. They will be given for the first three weeks of the second term of the summer session and will be over on August 2. The summer session will close August 16. ing in enrollment with 904. Houston is second with 792, Etowah third with 664, and Dale fourth with 588. Practically every county agent in the State reports an increase over 1929. C. H. Bedingfield is county agent in Cuilman county; Henry Withering-ton in Houston; L. L. Self in Etowah; and G. W. Ray in Dale. While local clubs are being organized and starting their work for the year the individual members are starting with their projects. More are engaged in cotton clubs than any other project although corn, peanut, pig, and dairy calf have large enrollments, Mr. Sims said. In addition to being 4-H club members these youngsters are practical demonstrators. They are demonstrating improved methods and practices in agriculture. In the past they have demonstrated that bigger and better crops can be made at a lower cost per pound or per bushel; and that livestock, properly done, is a profitable business on Alabama farms. During the spring club rallies will be conducted in practically every county, Mr. Sims added. These rallies will be held in order that 4-H youngsters and their parents may get together for acquaintance and for educational and inspirational talks along with athletic events and other entertainment.

Outstanding i-easons named by Dr. Petrie for selecting Montgomery as the capital were the fact that it was the center of the cotton business; it was the center of early seceding states; it was the home of William L. Yancey; and it was a typical planter town. "At that time," said Dr. Petrie, "Montgomery was a charming town of 12,000 population. It was a center of wealth and culture. It was an ideal city to be selected as the home of a nation to be composed of southern states under conditions of these days." Dr. Petrie stated that it was on February 4, 1861, when the first session of the Confederate Congress convened in Montgomery. All leading newspapers of the North and even the London Times sent representatives, he said. Many personal letters written by members of the Congress and articles written by correspondents and printed in their newspapers at that time are now the property of Dr. Petrie. They are used by him in his historical work at Auburn. The constitution of the Confederacy, Dr. Petrie explained, was similar in many ways to the constitution of the United States. Contrary to what would be expected, it prohibit-ed the importation of more slaves. On the other hand, it provided for protection of slaves needed in the Confederate States. The aims were to prevent unlimited expansion of the slavery business and protect it against destruction. The address of Dr. Petrie was eloquent and was enjoyed by a large audience, many of whom are descendants of people who participated in the affairs of the South during the days of the Confederacy.

PHONE 239-J — 4 Female Teachers Called Babbitts Investigation At Columbia University Shows Them To Be Hopelessly Mediocre In Taste The average woman teacher in the United States likes the movies better than the drama, prefers musical comedies to grand opera, and reads popular magazines and books rather than the classics, according to a survey of the habits, tastes and background of prospective teachers made at Teachers College, Columbia University. The survey, which is perhaps the most comprehensive ever made of the teaching profession, charges that the average teacher is hopelessly bourgeois and provincial and worthy of being placed in the same company with the character "Babbitt". Until the teachers' experience and background are improved, it will be impossible to have teaching, according to the survey, which has been conducted in fifteen teachers colleges in all parts of the United States by Dr. McLedge Moffett, of Columbia. The average teacher is declared to be a "good representative of the mid-dli class of American society," who, in mentality, is only slightly above the average." Her father is a manager of a small business, a skilled workman, or a farmer, and her sister is either a stenographer, a nurse or a business clerk. Her chief source of pleasure has been picnics, amateur plays and basketball games, and she has never wandered more than 200 miles from the place of her birth, or visited more than one city that could be called large.

CaponeTopsWho's Hoodlums Chicago Notorious Gangsters Receive Rating By Chicago Commission of Crime "Who's Hoodlum in Chicago" was published Thursday. With Alphonse Capone, scarfaced gangland overlord, named first, the Chicago Crime Commission prepared a list of 28 notorious gangsters, gunmen and racketeers who are "constantly in conflict with the law." Edited by the president of the crime body the list was sent to city, county and federal law enforcement agencies with a reminder "these men are public enemies and should be treated accordingly." Leaders of every gangland faction were named. There was George (Bugs) Moran, heir to the Northside mob hustled together by Dion O'Ban-ion; "Polack Joe" Saltis, stockyards district chieftain; Frankie Lake and Terry Druggan, original Chicago beer baron, and Joe Aiello, last of the once-powerful Aiello Westside clan. The crime commission's action, it was said, resultant of the recent report all of Chicago's gangs had merged under the wing of Capone and that the slogan of the underworld would be "All for Al and Al for all." To this, Loesch, the veteran crime crusader, answered: "All for law, and law for all." In a footnote to the list, Loesch ex? plained "treated accordingly" as meaning "vigilant watchfulness and arrests; court action; deportation of criminal aliens; investigation of personal property tax payments and of the status of their realty holdings and taxes; inquiries as to income taxes; raids on their disorderly houses, gambling halls, night clubs, and dog tracks; inquiry as to their political affiliations and publication of the facts; publication of business and residence addresses, business affiliations, STUDENTSPRESENTPLANSFOR ERECTION OF STADIUM HERE r Year 1 2 3 4 5 6 7 8 9 10 11 12 13 14 15 16 17 <- RETIREMENT PLAN Payment due $100,000 96,000 91,800 87,390 82,760 77,898 72,793 67,433 61,705 55,791 49)581 43,061 36,215 29,026 21,478 13,548 5,226 Interest $5,000.00 4,800.00 4,590.00 4,369.50 4,138.00 3,894.90 3,639.75 3,371.65 3,085.25 2,781.55 2,479.05 2,153.05 1,810.75 1,451.30 1,069.9,0 677.40 261.30 Paid on Principal $4,000 4,200 4,410 4,630 4,862 5,105 5,360 5,628 5,914 6,210 6,520 6,846 7,189 7,548 7,930 8,322 Balance > Balance of Principal due $96,000 91,800 87,390 82,760 77,898 72,793 67,433 61,705 55,791 49,581 43,061 36,215 29,026 21,478 13,548 5,226 J (Continued from page 1) per year which shall be collected with the second semester matriculation fees; third, each class shall vote to contribute the whole of the amount remaining in the class treasury at the time of graduation of the class. The average income from each student will be $6.00 a year. This will produce from $9,000 to $10,500 a year. Pay from the games will come later, as soon as the athletic situation is on a secure footing, and a percentage of the net gate receipts could be devoted to retiring the debt. The table shows the rate at- which the debt would be retired on the basis of $9,000 income per year. In the extreme case the time required would not exceed seventeen years. In the event alumni contribute either the interest or the principal of the bonds, or lump sums the period of retirement would be materially shortened. In case of big successful games and seasons, a percentage of the receipts might be used on this fund to materially contribute to its early retirement. May Issue Engineer To Feature Science Meet banking connections and other interests." "For 10 years, the men named have been affiliated with bootlegging, vice, bombing, racketeering and labor union domination and they include the heads of the various gangs," Loesch said. "The purpose is to keep the light of publicity shining on Chicago's most notorious gangsters to the end that they may be under constant observation by law-abiding citizens," he continued.

He will also have a vocal trio, a ballad singer, a blues singer, and many vaudeville specialties, combining ten new acts with "plenty of entertainment, novelty, and pep." Baird promises "a wonderful orchestra— one hundred per cent better than when we played there last fall." He has been playing at the Hotel Andrew Johnson for the past four months, playing five hours every day and rehearsing'three mornings a week. He has also recorded many popular Brunswick records recently and promises that the same novelty and style will be exhibited in the dance music and the vaudeville acts.

Says Civil War Was Not Lost Cause for The South LARGEST SUMMER SESSION TO OPEN ON JUNE SECOND Standard Junior And Senior High School Courses To Be Offered When the summer session opens at the Alabama Polytechnic Institute here June 2, it will offer a larger and more varied number of courses and have a larger faculty than ever before, according to a statement made by President Bradford Knapp. The official bulletin announcing courses and faculty has just been published and is now being mailed from the office of Dean Zebulon Judd, director. A total of 262 courses are included, 65 of which are new. The faculty will number 95, and is an increase of 8 over the faculty of 1929. One of the most notable increases in courses comes with the addition of subjects of study in library science, the aim of which is to train teachers to serve as librarians in secondary schools. These courses are included in the Auburn bulletin for the first time and have been arranged to meet a demand arising out of the acquisition of libraries by secondary schools, Dr. Knapp and Dean Judd stated. The courses are planned to meet the requirements of the American Library Association and the Southern Association of Colleges and Secondary Schools. They will be taught by Miss Mary Parrent. Though courses in pharmacy have been offered for many years in the regular session, they appear for the first time this year in the summer (Continued on page 4) Giving reasons why the War Be tween the States was not a lost cause for the South the Hon. Claude E Hamilton, mayor of Greenville, delivered the principal address in connection with the annual memorial day celebration here Friday afternoon. The celebration was under the direction of the Admiral Semmes Chaptr of the United Daughters of the Confederacy of which Mrs. P. P. Powell is president. Mayor Hamilton Was introduced by President Bradford Knapp, who acted as master of ceremonies. The first reason he gave why the War Between the States was not a lost cause was the great Southern men that the war produced. He praised Stonewall Jackson as a genius, Stuart as the "most romantic figure of the war," and Lee as the symbol of greatness because of the perfection and harmony of all his attributes. Another reason mentioned was that the war gave the South a solidity. He declared that the struggles of the sixties drew more taut the ties that bound the Southern states together, In this connection he spoke of the South as an advancing section. Mayor Hamilton said also that war gave the South a tradition, helped to preserve that tradition, and exemplified a beautiful idealism Following the address a cross of service was presented to Sgt. John Cooper Ball, World War veteran and son of a Confederate veteran. Sgt. Ball's record was read by Capt. E. S, Ott, and the cross was presented by Mrs. J. M. Burt of Opelika,. president of the Alabama Division, United Daughters of the Confederacy, on behalf of the Admiral Semmes chapter. No Confederate veterans were present at the ceremonies, but the graves of veterans in the Auburn cemetery were decorated. The Auburn Band led the procession to the cemetery. A detachment of the R. 0. T. C. regiment fired a salute over the graves. ENGINEERS WILL ERECT PORTRAIT DEAN WILMORE Life-Size Portrait To Hang In Ramsay Hall; To Be Made By Prof. Staples A full size oil painting of Dean John J. Wilmore, in recognition of forty years of service for the college and the engineering school, will be made as the result of a movement sponsored by students of the engineering department to erect a memorial to the esteemed dean.. The portrait will be swung in Ramsay Hall, but the exact location has not yet been determined. The painting will be made this summer by Roy Staples, instructor in the School of architecture and applied arts. It will be placed on exhibition next fall before being hung in its final position. The project will be financed by the students of the engineering school. Dean Wilmore, now head of the engineering school, graduated from Purdue and came to Auburn as professor of engineering in 1888, and was made dean in 1907.

The Senior class banquet, the climax of all the senior activities, was held last night represented by the class with about 175 members. Smith Hall, decorated for the occasion with the class colors of green and white in the form of leaves, garlands and pots of flowers, was the scene of gayety and good cheer as the seniors renewed their activities of the past four years and held up different incidents of the student life for that particular period. A Slight touch of sadness, however, permeated the air, as they realized that their school days in Auburn would soon be over. Led by Hayley Milligan, president of the class of 1930, as toastmaster and master of ceremonies, the affair, attended by Dr. and Mrs. Bradford Knapp, and other guests and friends of the seniors started at eight o'clock. John Carreker delivered the Senior class oration. He drew a picture of the past years and told of the "shining light" that started with the class and grew brighter every year gathering in with it the spirit and character of Auburn. "Now, at this banquet the light is the brightest. Go out after graduation and carry this light with you." Dr. Bradford Knapp then arose to greet the class. He spoke about the question which is now arousing much discussion, "Who ought to go to college?" "There are a great many boys in colleges who ought not to be there, and a great many not there who really ought to have better opportunities. State schools, are confronted with this problem more than privately endowed schools." It is a certificate of four years spent in gathering education, not a badge of admission to ready employment and a reserved niche' in life. "Men will either attain their goal in life or fall short of it. Whatever happens is the result of their own attempts. If you wish to be a success, love your work. Enter into it with your whole heart and soul.

She was known to her friends in Auburn as Sally Spratling, probably the only woman who ever received a degree in agriculture at Auburn. She was a member of Chi Omega sorority, a member of the Ag Club, and a member of Gamma Sigma Delta, national agricultural honorary fraternity. Definite plans for the erection of a football stadium with an ultimate seating capacity of forty thousand people were set forth by Dr. Knapp at a special convocation called Friday morning. The plans call for immediate construction to begin the valley west of Drake Field, and sections having a seating capacity of twelve thousand will probably be ready for use by the last of the 1930 season Dr. Knapp stated. The cost of construction will be approximately $6.50 per seat, which gives a cost of $78,000 for the building. The cost of drainage and grading the land will be in the neighborhood of $22,000 bringing the total cost to $100,000. To obtain the necessary finances one thousand, one hundred dollar bonds at 5 percent interest are to be issued. The bonds will be payable on or before a certain date so that they may be retired before that date if matters allow it. The plan is to offer the bonds to the alumni so that they may have a hand in the project, however, they will be sold to anyone desiring them. According to the plans the student body is to pay off the debt in seventeen annual installments. The payments will be voted on by the respective classes.- No student is being compelled to make these payments, the decision being left entirely to the individual. The students will vote by classes, each class to decide whether or not its members will sponsor the proposed plans for the erection of the stadium. Three methods of obtaining these funds will be used; first, each student shall vote to contribute the whole of his contingent fee remaining at the end of the school year; second, each student shall vote to pay $3.00 (Continued on page 4) AG FROSH ENTER JUDGING CONTEST Sixty-Five Of Eighty-Five Already EI:-.:r-ted Educational Authorities To Decide Establishment Of Loan Fund Office Whether or not there will be established and operated in Alabama a central organization for soliciting and handling loan funds for students at the various institutions of learning will be -determined by the educational authorities of the State, in the opinion of Professor Charles W. Edwards, assistant registrar, who is chairman of a committee created by the Association of Alabama Colleges to investigate the subject and make recommendations. Other members of the committee are Dean G. W. Mead of Birmingham Southern College, and Dr. Henry J. Willing-ham, president of the Florence Normal College. The committee has been told that a control organization would increase loan funds and facilitate handling them, Mr. Edwards said. Such an organization, if created, would handle the loan business for the various institutions of the State. At the same time no institution would lose its identity because institutional funds would be handled as much by this organization, Mr. Edwards explained. Along with institutional funds there may be general funds to be appropriated among the various institutions on a fair and equitable basis, he added. J|n other states this method of handling funds is working well. It organizes and systematizes the business with a result that better service is rendered to the donor of the money and also the students who use it in obtaining an education. Twenty students who are freshmen in agriculture at the Alabama Polytechnic Institute have entered the finals in the annual livestock judging contest which will end early in May. The entire class of 85 students entered the contest at the beginning and 65 of them have been eliminated. At the finals, winners of the various classes in livestock judging will be determined and prizes consisting of. five loving cups awarded. The best judge of dairy cattle will be given a cup presented by Dean M. J. Funchess of the college of agriculture. The best judge of beef cattle will receive a cup awarded by the class and the best judge of hogh will receive a cup presented by the department of animal husbandry. The best judge of all classes and the second best judge of all classes will each receive a cup presented by the departments of animal husbandry and dairying. The contest is under the direction of Prof. W. H. Eaton and Prof. W. E. Sewell. Competition from the beginning of the contest has been keen and Professor Eaton and Sewel anticipate keen competition until the winners are determined. Students in the finals are R. M. Lawson, T. P. Melton, R. Newton, W. B. Paterson, H. M. Stenson, J. M. Owen, C. Patterson, R. A. Thornton, E. W. Thdmbs, M. Phillips, J. W. Griffin, R. A. Jenkins, G. D. Batchel-dor, C. E. Deal, J. E. Green, B. F.

Students Have Chance To Head Stadium Construction The effort put forth by the student body is going to determine the success of the plan discussed by Dr. Knapp in convocation yesterday for the construction of a stadium in Auburn. A brief outline of the plan is that one thousand one hundred debenture bonds, bearing five per cent interest, is to be issued and sold to friends and alumni of the institution. This hundred thousand dollars, which represents the total outlay of the first unit of twelve thousand seat's of a proposed forty thousand seat stadium, will be retired in seventeen years by the payment of three dollars per year per student and the donation of the contingent fee of each man plus the small balance in the class treasuries each .year. These bonds can be retired in that length of time if not a cent can be used from the proceeds of the athletic contest's in which Auburn will be engaged in each year. The student of Auburn can take the initiative from the hands of a rather skeptical alumni association and prove the possibility of a stadium from this source by putting their shoulders to the wheel and help Auburn through the athletic mire in which several years of athletic reverses have placed her. This is the one great opportunity open to the student's to give Chet Wynne and the team an even break against the jinx that has followed Auburn so relentlessly in the past by preparing and making possible a place for them to play in Auburn. From a financial point of view the scheme as advanced for raising the money is entirely possible. There is absolutely no reason why these bonds cannot be sold and redeemed very easily, for the good name of the institution will be behind the sales of the bonds and an enthusiastic student body will be bearing the brunt of the burden of redeeming them. No appeals of sympathy are to be sent out; no donations are requested; but a good business proposition is open to those who desire to invest their money safely. It is feasible; it is a sound investment, and it will also prove beneficial to the institution. We hope that the students will have class meetings and discuss this project fully, and then take a favorable vote on the stadium question in a campus-wide poll later on. Fine Horsemanship Is Displayed In Annual Show The Horse Show to be held here on May Day is one annual event that has grown in popularity until it has assumed a leading position in Auburn's spring sporting events. Great interest is shown in this competitive match each year and the fight for superior horsemanship is very keen and hotly contested. It is well to note that in this day when horse power is at a minimum and is steadily growing less due to the many machine inventions of the past few decades that the love for sporting events in which horses play a part has steadily increased. These events, in which interest runs higher than in any other sport, can attribute their popularity partly to the fact that in no other sport can a contestant and the means by which he is able to compete have that bond of understanding and common effort that exist between a rider and his horse. In the horse show understanding is at its zenith, for with the slightest mistake the contestant is out of the race. So few of us have an opportunity to view the horse in action at the height of his mental and physical ability that the annual show has a respected place on the college calendar. This year there are several added features, while more men are out for the matches than in the past. In sponsoring this event the military department is paving the way for probably the greatest spring event in Auburn. The interest in it is always paramount, while the fight for the cups and medals display horsemanship that is seldom seen in Auburn. The military department is again showing its willingness to promote contests of a nature creating interest throughout the student body. Expedition to Explore An Unknown Territory Syracuse University plans to send an expedition of scientists into the Andes Mountains for a four months' exploration into territory in which no scientist has ventured and returned alive. The party, with its base at San Cristabal, and activities extending for two hundred miles into unknown territory, will be composed of professors of geography, geology, botany, and zoology. They plan to bring back specimens for the science museum at the university and the city municipal zoo. Another feature of this expedition will be the investigation of rumors of lost cities and traditions of Eldorado. The customs of the Indians will also be studied. Due to the fact that several years ago Indians drove out the only other white explorers in this territory, the members of the expedition have been asked to sign papers releasing the college of liability in case they are injured or killed as the result of contagious diseases or by the Indians. This trip is being financed by an alumnus of the institution who refuses to allow his name to be given out. He prefers to let the explorers and public know nothing of his gift. It is interesting to see expeditions such as this going on. Men are willing to give their lives for science; they are willing to endure hardships that many are unfitted to face, while there are a few who are searching for a thrill. They will probably be satisfied before reaching the United States again, for warring Indians, death by poisoned arrows, diseases bad enough to wipe out the entire party, and a hundred other dangerous things that will be encountered are enough to make this trip a very memorable and worthy event should it prove successful. Experimental College Is To Be Discontinued We notice in dispatches from the University of Wisconsin that its Experimental college is to be discontinued at the end of this semester. This announcement comes as a surprise" to some few who considered it a very feasible plan for collecting the most scholastically prominent students on that campus and from other schools throughout the nation into one student body for the purpose of studying together, while some have been doubtful of its value since its beginning three years ago. This college, an innovation among the educational institutions of the country, has been going on for three years, during which time special attention has been paid to the students mentioned above. Even though it is to be abandoned, the college is not considered a failure inasmuch as it was wholly an experiment. The result's have been such that they are to be applied to the freshmen and sophomores enrolled there. No one can deny that a plan of getting outstanding students together is bad, as their life, environment, habits, and achievements can be closely studied. The Gecko I am the Gecko who professes to know it all. I can not supply the least bit of information without an ostentatious display of pedantry. Although I am already famous as a liar, I must pretend to know many things with which I am not in the least acquainted, as I must remain on a par with my professors and comrades, for if it were not for me, what would they do without the bits of higher learning that I, alone, can supply? In every argument I must supply the authentic decision, even if it is disregarded by those who are around. If in doubt, ask me. The more dangerous thing, and much harder to get rid of than the inferiority complex, is the superiority complex. Stanley Baldwin. Prexy's Paragraphs By Bradford Knapp The classes t h is year have been anxious to have the honor of being the first to carry on regular work in the Ross Chemical Laboratory and I have consented to this arrangement. I am glad to see that Auburn has a golf team. In many of the leading institutions of this country golf is regarded as an important minor sport. Naturally it is a sport that is hard to carry because there is no money income in it. The boys that are making up the team this year realize this fully and I appreciate their fine cooperation. They are anxious to enter into one or two tournaments this year and I am sincerely hopeful that they may have the opportunity of so doing. The Tiny Tiger Minature Golf Links has offered to help in this respect by giving one half of its receipts on May 1. This is an excellent and thoughtful piece of cooperation. It is hard to raise money. The boys are not going to ask the athletic department to contribute but are trying to get money on their own account. Every bit of help from friends in town will aid in the work. * * * * We are finishing curbings and walks about the Ross Chemical Laboratory, not in as complete form as they will be ultimately but much more complete than they have ever been finished around any building on the campus. We want to set a good example here and get people to thinking in terms of the ultimate completion of curbing the side, walks to all the buildings on the campus. * * * * Seniors are beginning to feel more closely drawn together. It is an unusual experience, this experience of graduating from college. When you have spent four years here you learn not only how to be a good Auburn man, how to love Auburn and how to appreciate your fellow students, but in the last few weeks of school theer is a peculiarly deep attachment very largely the result of the consciousness that these days will soon be over. The senior banquet on Friday night is the beginning of the new day for these fine men and women whom we have had here with us for four years. I am wondering if we ought not to have a number of convocations before the end of school and at the convocations let the seniors take the place of honor. On Thursday, May 8, there "is to be a special Honors Convocation at 11:00 a. m. May I not suggest that the Student Council take charge of the seating on that day .and that every senior be present and in his place. At the end of the convocation let all the rest of us stand while the seniors pass out first? If it is our good fortune to have some other convocation, and I think we shall have some between now and Commencement, let me suggest we do this same thing. If it appeals to the student body, I would like to see us do something special as a mark of respect for this senior class and continue it as a practice for every senior class. What I mean by something special is some public recognition of the seniors. Seniors are not going to demand that they be given this recognition. It is up to the rest of us to accord it to them". How about it? EASTER TRAGEDIES The burning to death of more than 300 persons in a prison fire was in itself a terror to contemplate, but the circumstances connected with this loss of life added to the shock of it all. The prison was an old one, with timbers seasoned by time to a point of quick inflammability, with men locked inside and the blaze spreading at a pace so fast as to preclude any attempt at getting them out. The helplessness of the situation was as appalling to those on the outside, as it was terrifying to the men locked within, who could do nothing but rave and wait the coming of the blaze that was to roast them. It was the major tragedy of the times, and, singularly enough, about the same time it was being enacted, over in the Old Country the victims of a church holocaust were being buried. At a parish church in Bucharest, 15.000 people had gathered to celebrate Good Friday Vigil. The church was packed, while hundreds stood about. The villagers had come afoot and on donkeys, and inside the caskets were being decorated with Easter eggs, fruits and cakes, when a bit of drapery caught fire, the exits were jammed and the crowds on the outside saw 122 people burned to death, just as the helpless crowds around the penitentiary cells saw the more than 300 victims roasted to death. Verily, the Easter season of 1930 was marked by tragedy that will go down among the horrors of history. —Charlotte Observer.

Their frivolities were wild enough to curb any turbulent curves that happened to come along. * * * * * * * * The-most choice morsel of the week or season, if you insist, has been the activities of Barney* It seems that this whirlwind figure in Auburn has been filling very competently many useful places. Barney excels in dramatic achievements more than anything else. When he first came to Auburn last Summer, he had a time finding enough things that needed to be done to take up his time, but now he is never seen loafing any, for standing around the street corner has been proclaimed his occupation. In fact, he has been standing around and flitting around so much his legs have been worn off several inches, thus partly accounting for his shortness. If he will keep this up for a while,-he will be in a position to get a job as a midget in a show somewhere, thereby continuing in his best work. Mr. Barney has been helping with all the shows put on in Auburn; it is he whom everyone looks to see that every detail of a show is accounted for, and his presence will be sorely missed when he becomes an ornament for the sandy beaches of Florida within a few weeks. The women of Florida especially will be given a real bi-eak when they have the opportunity to meet this dashing young man against whom Romeo would have had more sense than to compete. That debonair attitude which characterizes this familiar figure will again be finding its mark after he has been down there for a few weeks. We haven't been able to find out whether Barney plans to open a drugstore down there or not, but should be open a stand near the beach, his place of business would assuredly be awarded the prize for being the most attractive down there, as the bathing beauties would seek this seclusion above all others. Possibly he will provide them with seclusion. Eh, what? * * * * * * * * * He fell down the other day—he was intoxicated with thoughts. * * * * * * * * Mr. Fair Jones Bryant attributes his giant intellect to the fact that he was born in a room twenty feet cubed. This mighty power of understanding and learning, almost the cube of any of his classmates, is supposed to have been the result of this rather unique and original background. * * * * * * * * * Dean Petrie is finding trouble getting students to study United States history, pending the release of Mr. Coolidge's five hundred word version. * WITH OTHER COLLEGES * GOING FORWARD The following announcement recently appeared in the Howard Crimson, Howard College student publication: "We, the members of Alpha Pi Chapter of Pi Kappa Alpha, take this means of voicing ojir disapproval of political lineups. Each member has declared his objection to such conditions as exist at the present time in regard to line-ups and political bosses. Furthermore, it is our intention to vote individually upon the merits and qualifications of the candidate. We give this notice as a means of our efforts to abolish group voting." Signed, Fred Tenty, Jr., President. We take great pride in our railroading tactics, brown on the nose, etc methods, don't we? Ability, popularity, and meri-tious work are often overlooked in the grand rush for offices. Not much honor can be left to the victorious candidate by the time the election is over. * * * ' * * GOING BACKWARD Students at the University of Indiana aren't getting any breaks this winter, it seems—or may be they're receiving only "breaks". No longer any members of the venerable institution "moon" over their diminutive partners within the cloistered precincts of a parked car. A most stringent and terrifying rule has been passed which solemnly forbids any student from transporting his "belle femme" to a dance in an automobile unless the driver of the vehicle is a parent of either party of the date. How thoughtful. We hope that we are out of college before the little rascals are required to dance with no one but their parents. Big headlines as seen for 1950: "Two Hundred Out of Town Mothers Expected To Make Hop." . * * * * * NATURAL GAS Courses in petroleum and natural gas study will be incorporated in the Penn State College's curriculum next year. The action, to start these new courses, was taken when it was discovered that there were insufficient well trained engineers to supply the demand of the Pennsylvania oil fields. Only two per cent of the men in this field had technical training as compared with the five or six per cent in the older engineering fields. * * * * * OF COURSE "Courtesy is one of the earmarks of Purdue students," stated the director of the coming Harleyquin Club show to be held at. Purdue soon. "Only one other school where I have been (and I have had the opportunity to visit a large number) has as courteous a student group. That is Yale. The students have been courteous to me since my arrival here, that I dislike very much to reprimand them in practice." That's HOW ABOUT'THE STADIUM Have you pictured the mighty Tiger of '33 proudly prancing out onto' the grand field in the new stadium, unconquerable, big and great? Why not? We have the best coach in the country in Wynne, and who can say that we don't have the material? Are we prepared to meet the issue and build a great stadium on which the mighty Tiger of the Plains can meet his foe? Our new football coach, and the snarling Tiger is going somewhere! Auburn is again to take its place at the head of Southern football. The old Auburn Spirit is reviving. Let's push together and set that mighty bowl on the greater Auburn campus. We spend more money on one football trip than the plans for the building the stadium calls for per student per year. Why not make a little investment then? What could be a greater memorial to the present student body of Auburn than a magnificent stadium placed in the hollow just west of Drake Field, as a result of our enthusiasm and hopes for this institution? Are we going to get all pepped up and go "hog-wild" and build this stadium? Why not start the excavation work by next September? THOUGHTS IN SILHOUETTE '•By ^Kerr THogenese ^eufelsdrockh EDITOR'S NOTE: The opinions expressed ia this column are not necessarily the editorial opinions of' this paper. It is a column of personal comment, and is not to be read as an expression of our editorial policy. * * * * EVERY normal man hates hypocrisy; yea hypocrisy is quite prevalent in our modern society. The word hypocrisy and hypocrit is usually associated with old cronies and the ladies aid societies, but unfortunately those are not the only mediums harboring the element of hypocrisy. Some analytical study, even from an embryonic and puny intellect, of the common hated element might facilitate something by way of eradication. There are two kinds of hypocrisy, one of the reverse of the other. There is the hypocrisy of pretending to be better than we are, and there is the hypocrisy of pretending to be worse, meaner and smaller, than we really are. The first kind is held in general abhorrence; the second kind is exceedingly and painfully common in our modern society. Of course there. is the hypocrisy commonly referred to as two-faced, but that is indicative of a low, mean, and cowardly personality and is deliberatedly participated in, rather than being a complex; hence being quite above help through any kind of analysis or anything short of mortal combat. There is something in the native American temper which compels that steady repression of the best. Doubtless it comes to us from the English stock—so different from the emotional temperament of the Latins— which always shrinks from the slightest betrayal of feeling. The English habitually uses understatement of his deeper convictions. He talks of "doing his bit" when he means laying down his life. He says "rather" when he means "with all my heart". As for shedding undignified tears, no calamity could impell him to do such a supposedly unmanly thing. Stern self-repression, exercised through many centuries, means that men of Saxon heritage will never betray to any spectator—sometimes not to the closest friend—their sympathy, or affection, or religious devotion. To such a man there seems something indecent about exposing one's heart to the gaze of the public. Worse than that he thinks to do so would be indicative of a hollow, weak-kneed, weakling, and, of course, he must at all times hold himself up as a big he-man. On this campus may be found men who, by a strange perversion of modesty, deliberately seek to appear worse than they are. They falsely entertain the idea that to be "hard" and "mean" is to be a strong man of much manly prowess—that is the reputation they covet. To seem sympathetic toward a professor or fellow classman is to be though weak and flabby. Hence they cultivate a very harsh manner, wear a cold arrogant attitude, conceal all private benevolence, and cultivate a reputation for being "hard". They take a curious pride in hiding their finer feelings and exhibiting this hard, cold he-man racket. All of us, whatever our pedigree, are usually ashamed of our best. The average college man is as "shy as a girl". He positively blushes to be discovered in an act of kindness, is sometimes ashamed of his loyalty to his Mother or his girl, and most always wants to be considered "tough", as if toughness were identical with strength. He conceals his love of the finer things, keeps down under the decks his ethics, and keeps on exhibiton only the pose of the college man. Why should the worst in us get itself easily uttered, and the best be crowded down and suppressed? Why do we so lightly utter our poorer selves—in cheap" music, bro-midic conversation, stale humor, in "knocking" and "crabbing"—and hide away the nobler finer self. All of our lives we have been taught to suppress our feelings, and hence when we have a reaction that we do not understand we immediately think it evil. Unless we give free rein to the desires that lie deepest in the hidden recesses of our minds we are condemmed to a life of mediocrity. Taboos and conventions and inherited fears and senseless inhibitions, along with the puritanical training to suppress all feelings, have so made cowards of us all that we have kept our best selves under lock and key. Ths is the characteristic hypocrisy of the college man. Let yourself out, but see to it that you do not let those desires out that you share with the monkey and the hyena, rather than those which you share with the saints of yesterday and the heroes of today. The finer- self, which for so long has been concealed from the public, let our will do much toward eradicating the college hypocrisy.

SATURDAY, APRIL 26, 1930 THE PLAINSMAN PAGE THREE Alumni of Mississippi A . & M. Begin Fight on Chadwick, Athletic Director Declaring that Mississippi A. & M is rapidly sinking into athletic oblivion as a result of retention of W. D. Chadwick, athletic director, mem bers of the newly-formed Birmingham Mississippi A. & M. Club unanimously endorsed previous action Wednesday night calling for Chadwick's resignation and demanding a general housecleaning in management of college sports. The meeting was in the form of a dinner at the Bankhead Hotel and was attended by what was said to have been the largest gathering of A. & M. alumni in the history of alumni meetings in the city. Dave Birmingham, president, presided. It has been impossible to keep good baseball coaches at the A. .& M. on account of Chadwick, it was charged. Jealously and general disagreeable-ness on Chadwick's part have been responsible for this, it was said. Eight coaches have come and gone since 1919, it was pointed out, "and the end is not yet unless Chadwick is removed." Chadwick has been with the institution, either as head football coach or athletic director, 20 years, it was pointed out, "during the whole of which time no conspicious football teams have been developed." "Of late years," President Birmingham said in outlining the situation, "the college has been going steadily down hill, athletically, and, I may add, in other ways, and if the alumni do not take a hand, I am afraid we are going to slip completely out of the picture." Rufus H. Low, secretary of the Memphis Mississippi A. & M. Club, scored Chadwick's athletic policies and also put the president, Dr. Buzz Walker, on the griddle. "There is a political clique running the Mississippi A. & M. and Dr. Walker is the head of it," Low said. "Every time we start out after Chadwick's scalp, Dr. Walker checkmates our moves. We are in a vicious cycle and unless we do something to extricate ourselves, we're sunk. You see what has happened to Auburn. Well, Auburn's plight is no comparison to ours. Auburn simply slipped out of the football picture, but she is coming back. Everybody can see that. But if Auburn and A. & M. and a few others don't improve, they will be weeded out of the Southern Conference and dropped to the class of much smaller institutions." Low dwelt at length on the athletic situation which he summed up by saying "We've simply had too much Chadwick." "Chadwick is a consistent loser," Low declared, "and since he dominates the whole athletic situation at the college, he must go if we ever get anywhere." It was agreed on this score to oppose Noble's selection as head football coach when the matter of a successor to Hancock comes up for approval by the advisory board of the alumni association and the board of trustees when they meet at the college in June. The meeting adjourned with the expressed determination to "meet regularly until we clear up this situation and get rid of Chadwick." Another meeting will be called before the state meeting at the college in June. The Birmingham Club's action followed similar action by the Memphis Club and many clubs in Mississippi, notably the Meridian Club. "There are 21 A. & M. Clubs in Mississippi, and, with only a few exceptions, these have not expressed themselves; they are opposed to a continuation of the Chadwick regime," said Low. Low also dealt with the academic side of the college's life and declared that Mississippi, through the A. & M. "has an opportunity to become the Wisconsin of the South in dairying, but is not taking advantage of this." "Dairy barn facilities are obsolete,'' Low declared. Mississippi A. & M. has long been noted for its creamery and dairy supplies, which are sold throughout the South, and Low's criticisms in this respect were pointed to as further evidence of this college's handicaps. "Why, the basket ball team has to practice in the high school gymnasium because we have no gymnasium," Low declared. "Think of that—a magnificent institution, with the potential strength it has—with the cream of young Anglo-Saxon manhood, having to put up with such conditions." Appointment of Dudey Noble, former freshman coach, as temporary coach to succeed John Hancock, who resigned, was not altogether pleasing to the members of the alumni, either. Noble, it was developed, is well liked by alumni, but is not regarded as a coach of ability. Naming of "Red" Cagle, former Army star, as assistant coach, however, was hailed with delight. Cagle's appointment was brought about through the influence of the Meridian Club, it was said. Noble, it was declared, is an ideal baseball coach, and might fit in as an athletic director, but is not the man for the head- coaching job on the grid- Photos Show Chet Wynne As Versatile Athlete Whigham, Hodge BaiRe Tigers as All-Stars Win Failing to hit with men on bases helped send the Auburn Tigers down to defeat before the Enterprise All- Stars. The Tigers had 12 stranded on the paths in losing an 8 to 3 verdict. ' The tilt with the Enterprise nine was scheduled as a practice tilt before the Plainsmen met the University of Florida in a three-game series, Thursday, Friday and Saturday in Panama City. The Sheridan men collected only four hits off the combined offerings of Steel Arm Whigham, former Au burn twh-ler, and Shovel Hodge, former Chicago White Sox pitcher. Enterprise had five of the 1930 Auburn team in its line-up and several other ex-collegians. Ray Prim, ace of the Orange and Blue hurling staff will start on the niound against the fighting Gators from Gainesville. Charles Kaley, another sophomore, will be behind the plate.

Wolff Hotel Company Operators Charles A. Johnson Manager Coach Wilbur HutselPs Auburn track team will engage in its third meet of the season Saturday evening in Atlanta, where the Tigers participate in the first Southeastern A. A. U. meet under giant arc lights. The 1930 Orange and Blue team is inexperienced, but the showings made in the Southern Relays and in the dual meet with the University of Georgia were very pleasing to Coach Hut-sell. The Hutsellmen sprang a surprise in winning the duel meet with Coach H. J. Stegeman's Red and Black track-sters. Georgia has one of the best thinly-clad teams in the Southern Conference, as veterans largely compose their team. Since sophomores and juniors are playing prominent roles on the Plainsmen cinder team, it was thought that Capt. Buck Anderson & Co. would break the tie that has lasted for two years and emerge victorious, but the Tigers were inspired and won their first dual meet of the season, 71 2-3 to 54 1-3. Auburn placed 25 times in the meet with the Georgians, with sophomores and juniors trying for major honors with nine each, while the seniors only placed seven times. Coach Hutsell will depend upon the following tracksters for victory in the S. A. A. U.: Lawrence Chamblee, 100- yard dash; Capt. Earnest Bell and Clay Jones, 440-yard dash; Samuel O'Hara, 220 and broadjump; James McClendon and Eugene Gray, half-mile; Clarence Roberts, two-mile; Jack Stewart, high jump and high hurdles; Garland Beard, high and low hurdles; Joe Hughes and Thomas Gail-lard, pole vault; Elmus Burnett, high and broad jump; William Coleman, shot put and discus, and Sam Robinson, javelin. Sigma Phi Beta Entertains With Formal Tea The Sigma Phi Beta entertained on Sunday, April 13, with a formal tea at the home of Dr. and Mrs. Bradford Knapp. Mrs. Knapp, Miss Dobbs, Officers, and alumnae members of the sorority received the guests in the West Parlor, from which they were then conducted to the dining room by Mrs. E. W. Camp and Mrs. S. B. Hay patronesses of the sorority. In the dining room candle light, subdued chatter, and fragrance of spring flowers found a fitting background for the tea table from which Miss Dana Gatchell and Mrs. L. D. Stodghill dispersed tea and coffee while members and pledges of the sorority served guests with the accompanying sandwiches, mints, and nuts. Both dining rooms' and parlors were in the sorority colors of purple and white with sweet peas, iris, wisteria and hyacinths. About one hundred guests including members of the faculty, townspeople and students called during the tea hour. Early Breakfast Enjoyed At Wright's Mill Sunday Members of Sigma Phi Beta enjoyed an early breakfast at Wright's Mill Sunday morning. The long drive, crisp air, and climb over the rocks combined to make 'the camp-fire breakfast of bacon, eggs, rolls, coffee, pickles, and fruit one of particular zest to all the party. Mrs. Bohler Honored With Informal Tea A beautiful informal tea was given at the home of Mrs. J. T. High on Wednesday afternoon from four to six honoring Mrs. G. M. Bohler. The living and dining rooms were made very attractive with pink sweet peas, ferns, and tapers. Delicious refreshments of pink and green were served to Mesdames Baughman, Crenshaw, Copeland, Stodgill, Funchess, Garrett, Brooks, Edwards, Parrish, Rush, Bohler, Cad-dell, Hay, Burns, Sahag, Duncan, camp, Lowery, Palmer, Creel, and Miss Mary Martin.

The jinx of Auburn's 1930 baseball team—southpaws cost the Tigers their seventh conference game of the season on Thursday afternoon, Coach Brady Cowell's Florida 'Gators winning a well deserved victory, 3 to 2. The loss was the Tigers' fourth in the conference and boosted Florida's standing to 600. Two brilliant left handers were chosen for mound duty with Ray pitching for Auburn and Fisher for Florida. Both hurled winning ball. But the 'Gators connected with the horsehide with men on the bases, while Auburn failed twice in the pinches. Each twirler gave up only six hits and both held the opposing batters hit-less for four stanzas. Fisher whiffed six and walked, two, while Prim caused two to swing at the ozone and issued free transportation to one. Auburn scored their first tally in the second on a double by Burt and a single by Lloyd. Their final run came in the fifth when Kaley singled, advanced to second when Fiske dropped Riley's fly, went to third on a sacrifice and scored Auburn's' final run when Hodges came through with a screaming single. Florida scored two in the second on Saul's single, a sacrifice by Fiske, a triple, by Evers and' a sacrifice fly to left by Slough. The winning run was scores in the fourth frame when Pate booted Fiske's grounder. Fiske went out on a fielder's choice, Prim to Pate, Evers being safe at first. Evers went to second while Lloyd was throwing out Slough and Fisher won his own game when he popped over second, Capt. Crawford barely missing it. Auburn threatened to score more than one run in the fifth as they loaded the bases after their final run, but Ben Newton, who had backed Derr, Florida centerfielder, to the far corner of the field in the second before making a beautiful catch of his fiy, popped up to Fisher. Again in the seventh Newton was at bat with his mates on third and second, but he again made the third out by flying to Fiske who came over from left field to catch the ball in center. The game was one of the best played by two college teams in this section in quite a while. Derr, Shirley, Lag-ano and Riley gave the 1,500 fans several thrills by their brilliant fielding, while Ed Sauls and Joe Burt did likewise with the bat. Sauls getting a triple and single and Burt a double and single. The two teams meet in the second of the three-game series Friday afternoon. AUBURN ab. r. h.po. a. e.

Wynne said he has offered the position to Kiley and expected him to accept. Wynne who will leave Omaha and Creighton Sunday, said he would go to Chicago before coming here to personally offer ihe position to Kiley. Kiley played at Notre Dame during the same years as Wynne, 1920, 21 and 22. In his final year there he was chosen on the All-American team by the late Walter Camp. Since then he coached two years at Loyola University in Chicago, but at. present is practicing law in that city. However, he aided Wynne in spring football drills held at Creighton on this year.

A. Sims, State leader, reveals that more than 16,000 Alabama farm boys will work under the 4-H banner this year. Already 16,023 names have been received by Mr. Sims from the county agents and his estimate is that 500 more will be received within the next few days. This compares with a total of 13,- 385 for 1929, which exceeded former years. Throughout the State boys have been enrolled by the county agents and organized by them into local clubs in order to make their work more effective and more enjoyable. Cullman county appears to be lead- LARGEST SUMMER SESSION TO OPEN ON JUNE SECOND (Continued from page 1) session bulletin. Six courses will be taught by Prof. L. S. Blake. The bulletin also shows marked expansion in the school of graduate studies under Dean George Petrie. A total of 37 courses are offered in this school, and 18 of them are included in the bulletin for £he first time. A large number of these are in education, but other subjects are included, especially home economics. Under Prof. Louise P. Glanton all the graduate work offered* in the regular session will be offered in the summer session. - Three interesting courses in business administration under Dean J. W. Scott, are offered for the first time in the summer session. They are real estate, foreign trade, and advertising, and will be taught by J. M.»Herren, instructor in economics. Nine new "courses are offered in education, among them being ones on education and recent psychology, and philosophy of education to be taught by Dr. Robert B. Raup, visiting professor, and associate professor of education at Columbia University. Dr. Raup is one of 18 visiting teachers who will supplement the regular Auburn faculty. Others are Dr. James K. Greer, professor of American history at Howard College; Robert E. Cammack, State supervisor of vocational agriculture, Montgomery; Karl M. Scott, instructor in economics at University of Illinois; and Edward F. Williams, instructor in ' chemistry, school of medicine, University of Tennessee. In addition, Dr. Edwin Barlow Evans, extension professor of English for Auburn, will do his initial teaching on the campus. A distinct unit of the summer session will be a standard junior and senior high school. This unit is organized to serve teachers who are not high school graduates, high school students who wish to make up back work, and prospective college student's who wish to remove college entrance conditions. It will be used as a training school for college students studying education, and will be directed by Dr. Paul Irvine, associate professor of education.- Special courses for teachers of vocational agriculture have been arranged beginning July 14. They will be given for the first three weeks of the second term of the summer session and will be over on August 2. The summer session will close August 16. ing in enrollment with 904. Houston is second with 792, Etowah third with 664, and Dale fourth with 588. Practically every county agent in the State reports an increase over 1929. C. H. Bedingfield is county agent in Cuilman county; Henry Withering-ton in Houston; L. L. Self in Etowah; and G. W. Ray in Dale. While local clubs are being organized and starting their work for the year the individual members are starting with their projects. More are engaged in cotton clubs than any other project although corn, peanut, pig, and dairy calf have large enrollments, Mr. Sims said. In addition to being 4-H club members these youngsters are practical demonstrators. They are demonstrating improved methods and practices in agriculture. In the past they have demonstrated that bigger and better crops can be made at a lower cost per pound or per bushel; and that livestock, properly done, is a profitable business on Alabama farms. During the spring club rallies will be conducted in practically every county, Mr. Sims added. These rallies will be held in order that 4-H youngsters and their parents may get together for acquaintance and for educational and inspirational talks along with athletic events and other entertainment. During the summer months county camps will be held with the county agents in charge the same as for the club rallies. Next fall they will complete their reports and exhibit at fairs. Thus the work will keep them busy during most of the year. ANNOUNCE ENTRIES AND PARTICIPANTS IN HORSE SHOW TO BE HELD FRIDAY (Continued from page 1) Dandy; C. L. Adams, Pox; H. W. Overton, Bum; F.

Outstanding i-easons named by Dr. Petrie for selecting Montgomery as the capital were the fact that it was the center of the cotton business; it was the center of early seceding states; it was the home of William L. Yancey; and it was a typical planter town. "At that time," said Dr. Petrie, "Montgomery was a charming town of 12,000 population. It was a center of wealth and culture. It was an ideal city to be selected as the home of a nation to be composed of southern states under conditions of these days." Dr. Petrie stated that it was on February 4, 1861, when the first session of the Confederate Congress convened in Montgomery. All leading newspapers of the North and even the London Times sent representatives, he said. Many personal letters written by members of the Congress and articles written by correspondents and printed in their newspapers at that time are now the property of Dr. Petrie. They are used by him in his historical work at Auburn. The constitution of the Confederacy, Dr. Petrie explained, was similar in many ways to the constitution of the United States. Contrary to what would be expected, it prohibit-ed the importation of more slaves. On the other hand, it provided for protection of slaves needed in the Confederate States. The aims were to prevent unlimited expansion of the slavery business and protect it against destruction. The address of Dr. Petrie was eloquent and was enjoyed by a large audience, many of whom are descendants of people who participated in the affairs of the South during the days of the Confederacy.

PHONE 239-J — 4 Female Teachers Called Babbitts Investigation At Columbia University Shows Them To Be Hopelessly Mediocre In Taste The average woman teacher in the United States likes the movies better than the drama, prefers musical comedies to grand opera, and reads popular magazines and books rather than the classics, according to a survey of the habits, tastes and background of prospective teachers made at Teachers College, Columbia University. The survey, which is perhaps the most comprehensive ever made of the teaching profession, charges that the average teacher is hopelessly bourgeois and provincial and worthy of being placed in the same company with the character "Babbitt". Until the teachers' experience and background are improved, it will be impossible to have teaching, according to the survey, which has been conducted in fifteen teachers colleges in all parts of the United States by Dr. McLedge Moffett, of Columbia. The average teacher is declared to be a "good representative of the mid-dli class of American society," who, in mentality, is only slightly above the average." Her father is a manager of a small business, a skilled workman, or a farmer, and her sister is either a stenographer, a nurse or a business clerk. Her chief source of pleasure has been picnics, amateur plays and basketball games, and she has never wandered more than 200 miles from the place of her birth, or visited more than one city that could be called large.

CaponeTopsWho's Hoodlums Chicago Notorious Gangsters Receive Rating By Chicago Commission of Crime "Who's Hoodlum in Chicago" was published Thursday. With Alphonse Capone, scarfaced gangland overlord, named first, the Chicago Crime Commission prepared a list of 28 notorious gangsters, gunmen and racketeers who are "constantly in conflict with the law." Edited by the president of the crime body the list was sent to city, county and federal law enforcement agencies with a reminder "these men are public enemies and should be treated accordingly." Leaders of every gangland faction were named. There was George (Bugs) Moran, heir to the Northside mob hustled together by Dion O'Ban-ion; "Polack Joe" Saltis, stockyards district chieftain; Frankie Lake and Terry Druggan, original Chicago beer baron, and Joe Aiello, last of the once-powerful Aiello Westside clan. The crime commission's action, it was said, resultant of the recent report all of Chicago's gangs had merged under the wing of Capone and that the slogan of the underworld would be "All for Al and Al for all." To this, Loesch, the veteran crime crusader, answered: "All for law, and law for all." In a footnote to the list, Loesch ex? plained "treated accordingly" as meaning "vigilant watchfulness and arrests; court action; deportation of criminal aliens; investigation of personal property tax payments and of the status of their realty holdings and taxes; inquiries as to income taxes; raids on their disorderly houses, gambling halls, night clubs, and dog tracks; inquiry as to their political affiliations and publication of the facts; publication of business and residence addresses, business affiliations, STUDENTSPRESENTPLANSFOR ERECTION OF STADIUM HERE r Year 1 2 3 4 5 6 7 8 9 10 11 12 13 14 15 16 17 <- RETIREMENT PLAN Payment due $100,000 96,000 91,800 87,390 82,760 77,898 72,793 67,433 61,705 55,791 49)581 43,061 36,215 29,026 21,478 13,548 5,226 Interest $5,000.00 4,800.00 4,590.00 4,369.50 4,138.00 3,894.90 3,639.75 3,371.65 3,085.25 2,781.55 2,479.05 2,153.05 1,810.75 1,451.30 1,069.9,0 677.40 261.30 Paid on Principal $4,000 4,200 4,410 4,630 4,862 5,105 5,360 5,628 5,914 6,210 6,520 6,846 7,189 7,548 7,930 8,322 Balance > Balance of Principal due $96,000 91,800 87,390 82,760 77,898 72,793 67,433 61,705 55,791 49,581 43,061 36,215 29,026 21,478 13,548 5,226 J (Continued from page 1) per year which shall be collected with the second semester matriculation fees; third, each class shall vote to contribute the whole of the amount remaining in the class treasury at the time of graduation of the class.

Pay from the games will come later, as soon as the athletic situation is on a secure footing, and a percentage of the net gate receipts could be devoted to retiring the debt. The table shows the rate at- which the debt would be retired on the basis of $9,000 income per year. In the extreme case the time required would not exceed seventeen years. In the event alumni contribute either the interest or the principal of the bonds, or lump sums the period of retirement would be materially shortened. In case of big successful games and seasons, a percentage of the receipts might be used on this fund to materially contribute to its early retirement.

"For 10 years, the men named have been affiliated with bootlegging, vice, bombing, racketeering and labor union domination and they include the heads of the various gangs," Loesch said. "The purpose is to keep the light of publicity shining on Chicago's most notorious gangsters to the end that they may be under constant observation by law-abiding citizens," he continued.
