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.

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

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.

INSPECTION OF
R.O.T.C. 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.

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

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

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.

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

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.

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?

"We, the members of Alpha Pi Chapter
of Pi Kappa Alpha, take this means of

Each member has declared his ob­jection
to such conditions as exist at the

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.

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?

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-

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

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.

The telephone looks ahead
Even as you are putting through your daily
telephone calls, groups of Bell Telephone ex­perts
are calculating your telephone needs for
five years, ten years, twenty years from now.
It is their work to discover from all avail­able
facts—not fancies—how each state, city
and community will probably grow. These
facts are reduced to forecast charts, precisely
as an astronomer plots the course of a comet.
Thus central offices are planned years be­fore
they are actually built. Underground
and overhead lines are laid out to fit future
as well as present needs. Expansion of ser­vice
is provided for.
Bell System planners virtually live in the
cities of the future. They play a vital part in
providing the best possible telephone service
for the least possible cost.

Cullman County Is Leading In Enrollment With Over 900;
Spring Club Rallies To Be Conducted In Almost
Every County
With 1930 enrollment practically
complete records in the office of T.
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.

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.

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.

PETRIE IS PRINCIPAL
SPEAKER IN EUFAULA
MEMORIALDAY TALK
Talks of Early Days of Civil
War In Confederacy's First
Capital, Montgomery
As the principal speaker at the
memorial day exercises here, Friday,
Dr. George Petrie told of life in
Montgomery during the early days of
the Civil War and also why Mont­gomery
was selected as the first cap­ital
of the Confederacy.
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.

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.

SENIOR BANQUET IS
HELD FRIDAY NIGHT
College students throughout the
country are expressing keen inter­est
in the first tour abroad arranged
this summer by the League for In­dustrial
Democracy in cooperation
with the Open Road, Inc., to study
the labor and Socialist movements
of Europe. Tens of thousands of
students each year visit Europe to
gain a knowledge of European • cul­ture
of the past. This tour, which
is described as an Intelligent Stu­dent's
Tour of Socialism, aims to
bring students in contact with the
activities and achievements of coop­erative,
trade union and political la­bor
organizations which are engaged
in building the cooperative world of
the future.
The group, which will be limited
to 15, will be under the leadership
of Dr. and Mrs. Harry W. Laidler.
The party will leave New York on
the new steamship Bremen on June
28 and return to America August
23, 1930. The intinerary, just com­pleted
will be as follows:
July 3 to 9—London.
July 10-12—En route to Russia by
the Baltic route.
July 13-26—Leningrad and Mos­cow.
July 27-31—Berlin.
July 31-August 5—Vienna.
August 6—Munich.
August 7-10—Geneva, with one
day excursion to Chamoix.
August 12-14—Paris.
August 15-23—Crossing to Amer­ica.
In each' country an endeavor will
be made to see the leaders of thought
and to visit significant institutions.
Nor will the recreational side be
lost sight of. A special leader will
conduct the group in each country.
The cost from New York and return
will be $787. Further information
may be secured from the League for
Industrial Democracy, 112 East 19th
Street, New York City.

"Develop the power of thinking. In­crease
the wealth of your reading. Cul­tivate
a culture in your way of living
and thinking about life's problems.
Learn to tolerate others by becoming
broader in mind and scope of vision.
College men must be thinkers for they
are the logical leaders of the world.
And, who ever heard of a leader who
looked to others continually for ad­vice
and consolation? A leader has
originality and creativeness. He is
able to strike out for himself and be
able to lead others with him."
Mrs. Bidez and Mrs. Townsley have
completed plans for a series of Con-ti-
act bridge lessons.

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,
