TO BE A N ANNUAL AFFAIR
"A" Club Dance Tonight To
T e r m i n a t e Exercises
A large number of students' pa­rents
registered today for Auburn's
first Mothers' and Dads' Day exer­cises.
The program, which has been
under the direction of the Executive
Cabinet, featured the game this aft­ernoon
between Auburn and Howard
and a reception at seven at Smith
Hall, tonight with the "A" Club
Dance.
Upon their arrival at Auburn, the
mothers and dads registered at Lang-don
Hall, and were given which rib­bons
which has served as a means
of recognition during the day. Dr.
Knapp personally greeted all arrivals.
This morning the R. O. T. C. unit
gave its first campus military re­view
of the year. The unit formed in
front of the Main Building, and pre­ceded
by the band, marched to the
drill field. The review was held be­fore
a large assemblage of spectators.
This afternoon the visitors were
guests at the football game, and
were given a manifestation of the
Auburn Spirit. The rest of the day
has been spent in touring the campus
and inspecting the buildings. Frater­nity
houses have been thrown open
all during the day and welcoming
receptions reported given every­where.
At seven o'clock tonight, the pa­rents
will be guests at a reception
at Smith Hall, the girls' dormitory.
The affair will end at nine o'clock
giving the mothers and dads plenty
of time in which to make the dance.
The exercises will end tonight with
the "A" Club dance at the Gymnasi­um.
The Nomads, an orchestra from
Montgomery, will furnish the dance
music.
This marks the inauguration of the
setting aside of a day to honor the
fathers and mothers of Auburn stu­dents,
with the idea of planning a
program to give them an inside view
of college life. Dr. Knapp stated that
this will be an annual affair.
Credit for the success of the day
is largely due to the cooperation of
Dr.-Knapp with the committee of the
Executive Cabinet of which Streeter
Wiatt is chairman. Robert Sansing,
president of the Auburn Y. M. C. A.,
has also assisted considerably in car­rying
out the program.
PROGRESS MADE IN
ENGINEERRESEARCH
Twelve Projects Started Since
Organization
Within six months after it was
created, the engineering experiment
station of the Alabama Polytechnic
Institute succeeded* in starting 12 re­search
projects, each of distinct eco­nomic
value to the people of the
State. Dean John J. Wilmore of the
school of engineering is acting direc­tor
of the station and two full-time
and eight part-time workers are now
engaged in engineering research. .
At a meeting last February the
Board of Trustees of the Alabama
Polytechnic Institute created the en­gineering
experiment station upon
recommendation of President Brad­ford
Knapp, who is a strong advo­cate
and supporter of all lines of re­search
work pertaining to the wel­fare
and advancement of Alabama.
Provision was made by him for four
research fellowships with a view to
training students for research and
directing their attention to its op­portunities.
Project number one on the re­search
list of the new engineering
experiment station is a study of the
corrosion of metals due to electroly­tic
action induced by moving water.
This is being done by Professors C.
R: Hixon and O. G. Quenelle. The
purpose is to investigate the relation
of electrolytic currents to the corro-

Be Held November 1
Visitors From Several Colleges To
Be Present
Auburn Spirit High
Before Howard Tilt
Great Interest Shown By Students As
Game Drew Near
The Auburn Spirit reigned at a
mass meeting held last night, when a
number of students, led by the Au­burn
Band, which always supports
the mass meetings, paraded enthusi­astically
through the streets of Au­burn.
After the parade the students gath­ered
at Langdon Hall amid much
cheering. After a few yells, short
talks were made by Dr. Knapp, Cap­tain
"Shorty" Long, and "Red"
Roberts, cheerleader several y'ears
ago. "Prexy" urged the students to
cooperate with the cheerleaders in
supporting the team at the game.
"Shorty" told that the team was all
primed and ready to go into the
game. "Red" told of the Auburn
Spirit, and was rewarded by loud and
unified yells. The meeting ended aft­er
a few more yells were given.
All students who expect to attend
the Alabama Baptist Student Union
Convention which will be held at the
First Baptist Church of Auburn No­vember
first through the third are re­quested
by the Auburn officials to
register at the Baptist church on Sun­day,
October 27.
Delegates are expected from all the
chapters throughout the state. Spec­ial
provision for rooms for the visit­ing
delegates are being made through
the cooperation of the Interfraternity
Council at Auburn. To !da(te the
Alpha Gamma Rho and Pi Kappa
Phi fraternities have agreed to keep
the representatives of the various
out of town chapters.
This convention promises to be of
special interest to Baptist students,
and the committee in charge is urg­ing
all who can to attend.

PLAINSMAN BANQUET
Staff Holds First Banquet
• Friday Night
Dr. Knapp commented favorably
on the policies of the Plainsman at
the first banquet of the staff which
was held last night in the Eastern
Star rooms. Besides the staff mem­bers
and Dr. Knapp, there were sev­eral
visitors present.
The college president, himself a
member of the Plainsman staff, men­tioned
the possibilities of someday
expanding the school paper into a
daily, both for the college and the
town.
P. O. Davis, director of public in­formation,
called attention to the
fact that the Plainsman has steadily
gone forward since his undergradu­ate
days in 1914. He said that the
Auburn Spirit was just the same now
as it has always been.
Walter L. Randolph, of the Pub­licity
Department; Professors Cecil
Shuford and Harold Hutchins, both
of the English department, also gave
short talks.
Several members of the Plainsman
staff were called upon to speak. Dick
Jones, sports editor, presented his
associate editors tokens of apprecia­tion
of their work on the sports staff.
Editor-in-chief A. V. Blankenship
acted as toastmaster. A five course
dinner was served during the ban­quet.
Indian Dance Features
Auburn-Howard Game
Spectators at the Auburn-
Howard game had the, pleasure
of witnesing a most gracefully
executed Indian War Dance
done by "Chief Bull Sessions"
Nethery, Chief "Shooting Bull"
Drey, "Chief Bull Durham"
Quinlivan, and Chief Bull Ony"
Headley.
As the Band marched off the
field at the half, the four noto­rious
Indian Chiefs in full na­tive
costume entered from the
four conrers of the field, and
danced out to the center of the
grid to the weird dismal music
of "Chief Shooting Bull's tom­tom.
On reaching the destined
spot, a loud "Wa-Hoo, (the In­dian's
War Eagle) was emitted
simultaneously from the four
Redskins, and they broke into
the ancient War Dance of the
tribe of Hawk Mogul. At the
conclusion of this solemn cere­mony,
the four chiefs triumph­antly
marched from the battle
field.
Gabie Drey, A. W. Headley,
S. C. Nethery, and J. R. Quin­livan,
were the participants in
the episode, which constituted
the annual Kappa Kappa Psi
initiation.

College Colors Will Appear On New
Banner
The Blue Key Honor Society an­nounces
that it will present a large
college flag to the institute in the
near future.
The banner will be made of wool
bunting; the school colors will be car­ried
out, and it will be blue, with the
college seal in burnt orange in the
middle. The size will be five feet by
nine and one-half feet; the flag will
be flown on special occasions below
the American flag. A Blue Key offi­cial
said that it will be similar to the
standard now in the military offices.
Blue Key is a national organiza­tion,
with chapters in almost all of
the larger colleges in the United
States; the Auburn chapter was
established in the early part of 1926.
Preliminary preparations for the
election of class officers were made
at a meeting of the freshman class
held in Broun Hall auditorium last
Thursday morning. This is the first
business meeting of the class of
1933.
Carmon E. Teague, president of
the Executive Cabinet, stated that
the election will be held as provided
for in Article III, of the Regulations
of Permanent Committees of the
Cabinet, of the student constitution.
Candidates for offices must be
nominated by a signed nomination
blank signed by twenty-five mem­bers
of the class (Art. Ill, Sec. 4),
and the blank must be submitted in
the following form:
We, the undersigned members of
the Class of do hereby
nominate (Nominee) for (Office).
(Sponsors' signatures—twenty-five
or more).
I hereby accept the nomination.
(Signature of Nominee).
These nominations must be turned
in at the Y. M. C. A. office by next
Wednesday at twelve o'clock.
The election will be held Thursday,
November 7, and ballotting will be
the preferential system. (Article III,
Section 11.)

Plans for continuing the building
program now under way at Auburn
were explained by President Knapp
to a group of alumni who gathered
here Saturday to talk with him about
the development of the college along
all lines. Thirty alumni from all parts
of Alabama and fron Georgia were
in session with Dr. Knapp for more
than two hours during the forenoon.
Dr. Knapp told them that buildings
as now proposed call for a cash out­lay
of more than $1,400,000 which is
more than the money now in sight.
Alumni were asked to cooperate and
their cooperation was asured.
The plans proposed by him call for

commends the fraternities for the
way the majority of the freshmen are
being treated. The days of barbarism
have passed, even in college circles.
Mothers a n d Dads
Welcome To A u b u rn
The interest shown in Mothers' and Dads'
Day is very encouraging. Many parents
from various parts of. the state are here for
the first-time to see Auburn. They have
seen where their sons and daughters are
instructed for the greater battle to be
fought later on; they have seen for them­selves
the Auburn that they have heard So
much about. Many of the parents have
been here before; they are merely renew­ing
friendships formed years ago; they are
gratified to see the growth shown by the
institution whose welfare they have follow­ed
for many years.
Auburn welcomes them. It is her desire
that they will spend a very happy day here;
that they go away feeling that the hospi­tality
accorded them by students and towns­people
is of the sincerest nature. She wants
them to be so favorably impressed that in
the future trips to this college will be an­ticipated
with pleasure.
Auburn is fortunate in having so many
visitors today. It proves that the people of
the state are interested in her growth, her
educational advantages, and her future pos-
. sibilities.
We are sure that this marks a great day
in putting Auburn before those people who
need most to know about her—those whose
sons are attending. This is something that
will grow in importance and magnitude in
the future if it is properly carried out. It
is very necessary, therefore, that the stu­dents
and friends of the college extend a
most cordial welcome to the visitors.
B u i l d i n g P r o g r am
A n n o u n c e d Recently
A few days ago the executive committee
of the board of trustees approved the plans
and specifications for four new buildings
to be constructed within the year at an
approximate cost of §600,000. This action
taken by the executive committee is typi­cal
of the progressive program that has
been outlined, and carried out in part, for
Auburn during the past years.
Auburn, despite the efforts of a few, is
steadily progressing and leaying behind
the characteristic traits of the typical small
town college. No longer do we turn the en­tire
freshman class, as far as looks are con­cerned,
into a group of convicts, by shav­ing
their heads, no longer is a man look­ed
upon as a curiosity if he comes to class
dressed in a suit instead of a pair of dirty
overalls; no longer do we literally tear the
town wide open after a mass meeting.
Some few seem to have the idea that
these signs of progress are only an indi­cation
of the decline of the famous Auburn
spirit. Every once in a while these rash
ideas get the better of their common sense
and the result is a disgraceful display of
bad' taste. The paint job of a week or so
ago is a shining example of this. All that
can be said on this subject is that a few
misguided souls have an entirely mistaken
conception of what the true Auburn spirit
really is.
This spirit, among other things, is a
courage which comes to the front in times
of adversity, a generosity which shows it­self
when victory is ours, a willingness to
see both sides of the question, a desire to
be a good sport and determination to
see a thing, once started, through to a fin­ish.
Auburn is rapidly coming to the front
under the able leadership of Dr. Knapp
who, although having been here only a
year, has in his possession a full portion of
the real Aubur_n spirit. It is up to the stu­dent
body to advance at least as fast as the
school does and to show Dr. Knapp that
we too have our share of the spirit and are
willing to do our part in this progressive
program.

The Plainsman adopts this means of
congratulating the staff of its sister pub­lication,
The Alabama Farmer, upon its
opening, depicting a lively and wide-awake
studeilt departmental magazine. Each
member of the Staff is to be commended
for the phenomenal success of the paper,
and the brilliancy of this opening issue.
The Alabama Farmer is published sole­ly
by and under student supervision, be­ing
the official organ of the Student's Ag­ricultural
Club—reputed as being the live­liest
student organization on the campus.
It. carries feature articles constituting
scientific reports on the farming industry
and its problems, written by students and
instructors; news relating the findings of
various research and extension problems
relative to farm operations; personal notes
on Agricultural graduates; a page of camp­us
news; and various other items of gen­eral
interest to those connected with agri­culture
in any way.
The Farmer was founded ten years ago
by agricultural students here, and has
shown remarkable advancement since that
time. At present it holds the distinction of
membership in the Association of Ameri­can
Agricultural College Magazines, which
marks it among the best of its kind in the
country. We feel certain it justly merits
this outstanding distinction.
With a circulation" of more than one
-thousand copies, it is being read quite ex­tensively.
It goes to every county in Ala­bama,
almost all adjoining states, many
distant states, and some foreign countries.
The Farmer is designed primarily for Ala­bama
interests, but holds quite a bit of in­terest

Letters to the Editor
Dear Editor—
While I was in Birmingham last week­end,
I tried to obtain a room at the Birm­ingham
Y. M. C. A. only to be told that
Auburn Y. M. C. A. membership cards
were not recognized there. The clerk told
me that in the past Auburn students had
stolen blankets and towels from them, and
that they would not allow them to stay
there now.
This is certainly a slam on both the stu­dent
body and the Y. M. C. A. of Auburn.
I do not believe the accusation true. Pos­sibly
sometime in the past a student
thoughtlessly appropriated for his own use
one of the Birmingham Y. M. C. A.'s
blankets, but is this a • current practice
among Auburn students? I hope not. It
seems to me that the local Y. M. C. A.
should immediately take action to have
our membership cards recognized any­where
in the United States. What is the
benefit of belonging to the Y. M. C. A.
here if we are not recognized elsewhere?
This information proves one of two
things. Either the students at Auburn
abuse their privileges as members of the
Y. M. C. A. when away from here, or the
Y. M. C. A. is becoming defunct in its ac­tions.
In either case there should be an
immediate remedy. Certainly the student
body is not deserving of being called a
bunch of theives, and I think that the Y.
M. C. A. should at once take steps to
remedy this situation.
Yours for a better Y. M. C. A.,

The Gecko
I'm the Gecko who goes out for football.
When I get a scratched leg, I limp to let
everybody know that I am a big "Cave
man" football player. I know the game
well and if anyone asks me about it, I can
tell him the way it should be played al­though
I cannot do it very well. I try to let
the coach know how to pull certain plays,
but he can't appreciate good suggestions.
If anyone wants to know the results of the
games to b,e played in the future, just ask
me; I am the prophet of today concerning
results of future games.
P. S. I am not even out for Varsity,
but think I am a bis noise in intramural.

I had a mighty
good letter from Ope-lika
which reads in
part as follows: "I
feel quite sure you
will be glad to hear
of thev many, many
favorable comments
about 'our' Auburn
students who were
here at the Fair. One
of the officials told me the Auburn boys'
general behavior was the BEST he had
seen since the Fair was organized nine
years ago. This made we proud too as an
old Auburn man." Another quotation from
the same letter is: "Let me congratulate
the boys on their parade at Montgomery.
I reached there just as the parade started
and it gave me a thrill to see the fine dig­nity
and soldierly appearance of that fine,
clean-cut bunch of gentlemen of Auburn."
These words ought to be very gratifying
to the student body. I had rather have that
kind of reputation than have had a great
many other things in the world.

A number of the members of our "ex­ecutive
family" including the registrar's
office, the deans and the President are
studying the matter of absences from
classes. These appear to me to be much
greater than they ought to be and yet this
institution has one of the most severe rules
regarding the effect of absences which I
have ever seen. It seems to me that essen­tially
it is necessary that a student attend
classes, lectures, and laboratory work with
sufficient regularity to get the work and
that in case they make up the work missed
by absences and are able to demonstrate a
satisfactory knowledge of subject, they
ought to receive a passing grade or a high­er
grade in case they show a higher pro­ficiency.
I have been wondering what we
might do to change the attitude of mind
of the student body on this subject. I
think we ought to call in certain student
groups and discuss it with them. It alarms
me that 322 students during the last year
lost at least one credit hour at college be­cause
of excessive absences. This does not
represent the total number pf students who
had absences from classes, but only those
whose absences were excessive. We are col­lecting
the evidence and endeavoring to
look into the situation with as great care
as possible. Some members of the staff
have (suggested thaf if we had a set of
signal bells in each of the buildings, it
would help in class attendance because it
would insure prompt dismissal and prompt
convening in each instance—particularly
would.this be true regarding buildings
somewhat distant from the central part of
the campus.

The last of next, week we are to enter­tain
the Baptist Student Conference at
Auburn. I hope we shall be able to demon­strate,
to them the hospitality, the charact­er,
and the worth of this institution. It
makes us all realize how greatly we need a
hotel and additional dormitories for enter­taining
people who come in.

"Little Things"
By Tom Bigbee
Are we becoming shiftless, lazy, indif­ferent
snobbish, hard hearted, or what?
Is it possible that we are just too busy to
look out for these other things which seem
quite little, yet in the long run total up
to mean so much to the institution? No
doubt we fail to recognize the importance
of doing little things well, and at the right
time. We need to pick up some dropped
stitches.
Speaking of things out of time, we wish
to refer you to the Letter to the Editor
in a recent issue of the Plainsman.
What occasion Chris had for such criticism,
we cannot fathom. We do conclude, how­ever,
that he is a Frosh—even too fresh to
be witty—seeking publicity at any possible
point other than that of paddles swung by
members of the Vigilance Committee.
We heartily agree with the thoughts pre­sented
in the recent editorial pertaining
to decreasing interest in campus activities.
There is such a thing as going in too heavy
on activities; yet we might remember that
they, in moderation, may afford benefits
approaching the value of classes themselves.
Three streamer headlines in one issue—
that's displaying news! it occurred in last
week's Plainsman.
Auburn is to be displayed before the eyes
of the entire State in exhibits at the fair in
Montgomery this week. This will be a big­ger
advertisement for the college than one
might imagine. ,
"All things come to the other fellow if
you will only sit down and wait."
The only people who really enjoy hear­ing
your troubles are lawyers; they get
paid for it.
You are waiting for your ships to come
in—have you sent one out?
The next time you have a sore throat,
be glad you are not a giraffe.

SCOUTS GUEST AT FOOTBALL GAME
Four thousand boy scouts were the
guests of the Ilinois Athletic Association
when Kansas opened its football season on
October 5th. The custom of having scouts
attend Illinois games in a body once a
year has been in effect since li)25. This
is not only a good turn but good adver­tisement

WAR IMPOSSIBLE NOW
Science has made war impossible, ac­cording
to Francis P. Garvan, of New
York, who told the American Chemical
Society at Minneapolis so. He said, "I be­lieve
that modern chemistry plus aviation
has made Avar impossible. In case of a
modern war between great powers it would
be foolish and useless for a battleship or
cruiser to leave its dock or an army to
take the field." He seems to have forgot­ten
that the day before the ship, battles
were all fought on land. And now that we
have the airship, can they not carry de­struction
even farther than an army or
a battleship?

NO ONE SHALL KNOW THE HOUR
At Emory the studiously inclined group are
having quite a time with the freshman as­pirants

of the conglomeration of agonizing wails,
moans, and other noises which are blown
from the horns issued to those in the band.
One night about one o'clock many who
had retired in neighboring dormitories
were awakened by a horrible shriek. Turn­ing
out in full force to seize the supposed
murderer they found that it was only a
too ambitious rat. He had decided that he
wanted to practice for the band. It is
rumored, that if those who are unable to
sleep in the lecture room and are forced
to sleep at night, are bothered much more
with the nerve-raeking blasts, that those
guilty freshmen shrieks on the little horns
will turn to human agony. We, hear not
even a "War Eagle". Why fifty years ago
we were not even born; and fifty years
from now most of us will be dead. So why
not raise a little uncondensed h if you
have the moral courage to break the
silence?

'AGE OF REASON,* CAUSES TURMOIL
Upsala college a Lutheran institution,
was thrown into turmoil recently when
each of the 403 students received by mail
an abridged copy of Thomas Paine's "Age
of Reason," the gift of the Free Thinkers
of America,
There immediately followed caucuses,
councils, debates and a large amount of ex­citement,
while ways and means of re­buttal
were projected by the co-educational
student body.
At the Free Thinkers' headquarters in
New York. Joseph Lewis, the president of
the organization, chuckled when reports
of the excitement which had followed his
little gift reached him. "It is simply a port
of a propaganda program by which we
hope to stimulate the students of America
into thinking for themselves," he said.
But at Upsala there were other and dif­ferent
views. A body of perturbed students
called on the Rev. Dr. Carl G. Erickson,
president of the college, for advice. "I
would advise you," he told them, "to make
no attacks on the book as such. But I
should also suggest that you strongly con­demn
any and all efforts to dereligionize
the colleges of America."
KING HAS CO-EDS
Beside the femininity of the freshman
class, co-eds have appeared on the campus
in person, at King College. This not only
broke an age-old tradition but has caused
quite a change in the student body. The
expressions on the boys faces and their
willingness to do errands for the beauti­ful
co-eds, is taken as a sure sign that co­education
will go over big in the future
at King College. All this upheavel is caus­ed
by the presence of only two co-eds; we
wonder what would happen if they had
one hundred and fifty.
EDITOR'S NOTE: The opinions express­ed
in 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.
IT HAS been the custom at Auburn for
a great many years to consider anyone
who adversly criticized any custom or
condition prevailing here as an opinionated
ass suffering from a severe case of hypo­chondria.
This very touchingly illustrates the
perfervid loyalty of all good Auburn stu­dents
but has resulted in a deplorable state
of affairs. Frankly I believe that Auburn is
in worse shape culturally and education­ally
than she has been in a good many
years. Perhaps this intellectual decline is
associated with our decline in athletics;
perhaps it is due to the state of smug self-satisfaction
existing here which in turn re­sults
from the comparative immunity from
adverse criticism which we have enjoyed.
There is entirely too much inclination to
ignore the darker side of the picture. We
have grown so accustomed to assuring our­selves
and being assured by others that
Auburn turns out the best engineers, the
best teachers, the best farmers of any
school in the South that we fail to realize
that this is a rating which is subject to
change and depends entirely on the charac­ter
of Auburn graduates. We ignore the
inability of so many seniors to speak or
write correct English, the roughneck ap­pearance
of two-thirds of our students
two-thirds of the time and their complete
lack of ordinary manners at any social
function. I realize, of course, that such
conditions as these may seem desirable
and amusing and very collegiate to many
freshmen but surely our criterions of
good behavior should not be those of fresh­men.
At the Engineering Smoker the oth­er
night, as the cigars were being passed
around, about one-half of the students
who were there rose from their seats,
snatched the box of cigars from the
hands of the man who was distributing
them and fought over it. There were enough
cigars to go around but each man appar­ently
had only one idea—to get more than
one cigar. Yes, it was funny, funny as
hell, as all good Auburn students would
say. Perhaps, though, a better word would
be peculiar—a peculiar state of affairs to
exist at any institution which terms it­self
a college. Surely, surely, in these
days when late-dating is a crime and
drinking a terrible offense some attention
could be given to remedying this deplor­able
state of affairs. Perhaps the difficul­ty
is that we have too many ill-mannered
boors who are too virturous to enjoy a
few words with a girl after a dance and
too pure to take a drink of liquor but who
feel no compunction about misbehaving
at any social gathering.
THE morning papers on Thursday
came out with two inch head-line
announcing that a survey made
by the Carnegie Foundation showed
that practically all colleges were pay­ing
their atheletes. Although many
people had known this all the time
it proved a great shock to them to see it
in print. The news-papers should really be
more tactful. Auburn, however, was not
mentioned either as one that did or one
that did not. Perhaps the inference is that
it doesn't matter a great deal what we do
with our team. But, seriously everyone
here knows that our athletes are being
helped to a considerable extent and there
is a pretty general approval of it. Those
who don't approve just don't care very
much one way or the other. I have always
suffered from a sneaking opinion that if
we can't get good teams out of the men
who come here primarily for the purpose
of an education we had better not have
any. However, a great many of these men
would be worthy of help regardless of their
athlelic ability. There's where the rub
comes in—they aren't being helped be­cause
they deserve it but because they play
football or some other sport. It will be an
interesting commentary on the colleges of
the country to see how they react to this
charge. Perhaps it is too much to hope that
one of them will have the courage to bold­ly
admit the truth of the charges and
justify or attempt to justify their position.
Already our sister institution, the Universi­ty
of Alabama, has indignantly denied the
imputation. Not that any-one ever thought
that it was true of her in the first place
Oh dear me, no, not that!
THE. VILLIAN
While joy gave clouds the light of stars,
That beamed where'er they looked;
And calves and lambs had tottering knees,
Excited, while they sucked;
While every bird enjoyed his song,
Without one thought of harm or wrong—
I turned my head and saw the wind,
Not far from where I stood,
Dragging the corn by her golden hair,
Into a dark and lonely wood.

LOST LOVE
His eyes are qickened so with grief,
He can watch a grass or leaf
Every instant grow; he can
Clearly through a flint wall see,
Or watch the startled spirit flee
From the throat of a dead man.
Across two countries he can hear,
And catch your words before ryou
speak.
The woodlouse or the maggot's weak
Clamour rings in his sad ear;
And noise so slight it would surpass
Credence:—drinking sound of grass,
Worm-talk, clashing jaws of moth
Chumbling holes in cloth:
The groan of ants who undertake
Gigantic loads for honor's sake—
Their sinews creak, their breath
comes thin:
Whir of spiders when they spin,
And minute whisperings, mumbling,
sighs
, Of idle grubs and flies.
p This man is quickened so with grief,
He wanders god-like or like thief
Inside and out, below, above,
Without relief seeking lost love.
—Robert' Graves.

Lamps Hold Open
Meeting Thursday
The Order of Lamps held an open
meeting on Thursday evening, October
17 from 8:00 to 9:00 in the lobby of
Smith Hall. The main purpose of the
meeting was to introduce the girls to
the different honorary fraternities
and sororities open to girls on the
campus.
Miss Blanche Tancredi, president,
opened the meeting. The representa­tives
of the different fraternities and
sororities were called upon to give
general information concerning the
honor society to which she belonged.
The speakers were: Margaret Law-r:
nz, Chi Delta Phi; Izola Williams,
Theta Alpha Phi; Blanche Tancredi,
Alpha Phi Epsilon; Mrs. Hewitt, The­ta
Epsilon; Mrs. Paul E. Sandlin,
Kappa Delta Pi; Miss Glanton, Phi

Mu Rho.
Miss Dobbs presented the Order of
Lamps an antique lamp, probably
2,000 years old. The lamp was ac­quired
by Miss Dobbs on her recent
trip abroad and becomes the most priz­ed
possession of the sorority.
After the meeting a social half hour
was enjoyed and punch and cakes
were served. A musical program was
rendered by Miss Ruth Murray, pia­nist,
accompanied by Neil Suffich,
violinist.

Elijah Stuart Pugh, by whom she
was given in marrioge. Her bridal
gown of handsome white duchess satin
was fashioned along the simple lines
of a princes model with long sleeves.
Falling from her shoulders was the
court train of lust'rious satin. The
veil was trimmed with Brussels lace
and was confined to her head by a
single wreath of orange blossoms. A
gorgeous bouquet of bride's roses and
lilies of the valley completed the ex­quisite
bridal ensemble.
The bride has served the Kappa

TWO SETS BROTHERS MEMBERS
1929 AUBURN FOOTBALL SQUAD
Two sets of brothers are members
of the 1929 Plainsmen football squad.
Capt. Howell "Shorty" Long and
Grady Long lead the brother combi­nation
as both are veterans and have
played together at guard for several
games.
The Long family is making quite a
reputation on the gridiron at Auburn
as the brothers on the Bohler machine
had a brother, Spurgeon Long, who
starred at guard also at the Plains,
graduating in 1926. The athletic
Long family receive their mail at
Falkville, Ala.
Louis "Tubby" Jacobs, tackle, and
Horace "Bud" Jacobs, halfback, are
the other brothers that are strong
contenders for regular posts on Coach
Bohler's eleven. "Tubby" is the heav­iest
man out for the team, tipping the
scales at 232 lbs. He has not seen
Apparatus Invented
To Detect Ant Sounds
Pittsburg, Pa.—IP—Two scientists
of the University of Pittsburg recent­ly
perfected an apparatus for detect­ing
the sounds of ants in under­ground
communication. A block of
wood was placed upon a diaphram of
an ordina|y telephone transmitter,
which in turn was connected through
batteries and ampliphiers to a pair
of earphones.
When the termites crawled over
the block of wood the transmitter
was agitated, resulting in sound vi­brations
which were clearly heard by
the listener at the headset.
When the ants became excited
over something or other, their sol­diers
were found to pound their
heads vigorously on the wood. This
action could be clearly seen and
heard at the same time.
The investigators found that the
ants could hear sound vibrations in
the air very poorly or not at all, but
were extremely sensitive to vibra­tions
underground. For this reason
it was thought that the head hammer­ing
was a method of communication.
Because of this sensitivity to sub­stratum
vibrations, ants seldom are
found to infest the ties of railroads
carrying heavy traffice, or buildings
containing machinery. The vibrations
mean danger to them just as if one
of their own number were giving the
alarm by banging his head on the
ground.
service in any games this season be­cause
of a badly wrenched knee which
has responded very slowly to treat­ment.
The Jacobs boys starred at
Bessemer High School before matricu­lating
at Auburn.
Several members of the varsity
squad have had brothers that made
gridiron history on Drake Field. Wil­lie
Roe Tamplin, the lightest man out
for the team, had a brother to finish
at Auburn in 1928 who was a very
capable halfback; Willie Granger
stepped in and filled his brother's
shoes as the other member of the
family was also a line-plunger and
deadly tackier. Melford Snider, full­back,
is the brother of Auburn's fa­mous
speed merchant and Olympic
star—Euil "Snitz" Enider.
Erquiet Taylor, tackle, and Dun­ham
Harkins, center, are brothers of
two of the Tigers most famous foot­ball
players. Taylor is the brother
of Babe Taylor, who was placed on
the mythical All-Southern eleven in
1914 and 1915, and Harkins' brother
was captain of the 1926 Orange and
Blue gridiron team.
The brother relations even extends
to the managerial reins as Louis "Lit­tle
Goat" Smith, assistant manager,
is a brother of Hadden "Goat" Smith,
who was manager of the 1927 ma­chine.

Next Door to Theatre
New Brunswick, N. J.—(IP)—Dr.
Harold A. Van Dorn, professor of
political science at New Jersey State
College for Women, was arrested
temporarily this summer for defying
the laws of Russia by taking photo­graphs
of a gate in the Kremlin at
Moscow.
When he crossed the border into
Russia, Dr. Van Dorn was permitted
to take his camera with him. Ar­riving
in Moscow he intended to take
pictures of various points of interest,
particularly of the Kremlin, an
ancient walled fortress, guarded by
many a tall, burly Russian soldier.
Accompanied by a Russian girl, who
acted as his interpreter, Dr, Van Dorn
arrived before the gates of the Krem­lin,
camera in hand. The soldiers seem­ed
preoccupied. Dr. Van Dorn took
out his camera unseen; but as he was
setting the focus, the guards noticed
him and, to a man, came upon him.
Before they could reach him, however,
he clicked the shutter, and became the
possessor of a forbidden photograph
of the gate to the fortress.
The soldiers immediately demanded
that he give them the plate. Dr. Van
Dorn explained, with the aid of his in­terpreter,
that the film was oh a roll
and that to give them the one negative
would ruin the entire outfit. As the
group was discussing the matter, and
officer appeared, and in no uncertain
terms, ordered the professor to pro­duce
the picture. It was then that the
idea occured to the professor that he
could fool the government of Russia.
He was using a roll of eight films,
and the disputed picture was the fifth
exposure' on the roll. Therefore, he
could tear off the last film, which
was a blank, hand it to the unsuspect­ing
guards— who would not find out
it was blank until they developed it—
and retain the prized photograph. At
this point Dr. Van Dorn's interpreter
stepped up and demanded less harsh­ness
toward her employer.
"How can you expect recognition
from America when you do not treat
its citizens civilly?" she queried.
That official was sufficentily calm­ed
by this to permit Dr. Van Dorn to
go to a dark passage and remove the
negative. He gave the soldiers the
blank film, and they were perfectly
satisfied.
Dr. Van Dorn has had the negative
developed and a print made, and finds
that he has an excellent picture of
the gates of the Kremlin.

Monday and Tuesday—"Why Bring
That Up."
You've heard the four Marx
brothers in "Cocoanuts," but wait un­til
you've heard Moran and Mack in,
"Why Bring That Up." After wise­cracking
over vaudeville circuits,
phonograph records and microphones,
these two master comedians turn to
the "talkies" to do their stuff. "Why
Bring That Up," is a study in black
and white of the world's most famous
brunettes—Moran and Mack. Octavus
Roy Cohn, Alabaman—and incidental­ly,
the best writer of negro stories in
America, has written the skit, and
went out to Holloywood to assist in
the directing of it. You see plenty of
white flesh along with the darkened
stars also. A bevy of the best look­ing
chorus girls seen in the pictures
yet assists in the laugh feast.
Wednesday—"Marianne."
Probably there is a limit to the
versalitity and cleverness of Marian
Davis, but not so in, "Marianne."
Marian carries a difficult French ac­cent
through ten reels without a re­lapse,
sings, gives imitations, dances,
glides smoothly from delicious comedy
to superb pathos, and for good
measure registers one of the most
poignantly beautiful parting scenes
ever filmed.
Lawrence Gray, as the doughboy
sweetheart, knocks the audience for a
row of sound sequences by his acting
and singing. Ukulele Ike, record art-ist,
goes into a frenzy of songs and
dances to entertain you.
"Fame and the Poet," by Lord Dun-sany,
is directed by Dryden Baugh-man.
It is a stinging satire on fame,
developed with the most interesting
situations, which involve a poet, army
officer, and Fame. Robert Brown is
cast as the poet, Betty Anderson,
Fame, and the George Sanford as the
major.
Major Dick returns from India, he
ridicules his friends who is a poet, as
a result Harry De Reeves, who is the
poet, is ready to give up writing, when
he composes a sonnet that makes him
famous. He is ensnared by Fame tbut
—well you'd better see for yourself.
Mr. Baughman has designed and
painted the sets, which are modern
Vinnette sets.
Professor J. D. Shaver, director of
dramatics, has prepared, "Dregs," for
your approval. It is a fast moving
tragedy of the underworld acted in
the most realistic manner..
Walter Crowe and Mildred Hood
do the heavy leads. Both plays have
good charaterizations and are well
coached. Such a variety of entertain­ment
will be enjoyed by those attend­ing.

Terrific Storm
Raging on Sun
Dele ware, Ohio—(IP)—A storm of
marked intensity is now raging on
the sun, according to a report issued
from Perkins Observatory of Ohio
Wesleyan University here by Dr.
Harlan T. Stetson, director of the
observatory.
Dr. Stetson, who recently came to
Ohio Wesleyan from Harvard Uni­versity,
has made a Specialty of in­vestigating
solar phenomena and, in
cooperation with Greenleaf Pickard,
engineer of the wireless Specialty
Company of Boston, has found that
the solar storms have remarkable ef­fect
upon radio reception and are
doubtless responsible for many ter-restial
disturbances not yet under­stood.
The storm center just announced
covers an area of more than 450,-
000,000 square miles and is in reali­ty
a terrific cyclone of gases caught
in a whirl which would make a Flor­ida
hurrican appear infinitesimal in
comparison, Dr. Stetson asserts.
"This particular storm was dis­covered
several days ago on the edge
of the sun and the rotation of the lat­ter
is being brought nearer the line
joining the earth and the sun," said
Dr. Stetson.
"What may happen when the spot
crosses the center of the sun's disc
cannot be safely predicted, but dis­turbances
of the earth's magnetism,
displays of the aurora borealis and
marked changes in radio reception
are known frequently to accompany
such solar disturbances.
"Further outbursts are likely to
occur in the solar atmosphere as we
are still near the period of sun spot
maximum."
Dr. Stetson said that although it
is not generally known, radio recep­tion
is influenced by sun spots or
storms, and not by seasons of the
year. Winter reception in 1926-27
was many times poorer than in the
summers preceding and following,
Dr. Stetson said, although folks usu­ally
thing winter reception is better.

Engineering Frats
To Improve Grounds
The pathway leading from the
steps of Ramsey Hall across the grass
to the sidewalk will soon be a thing
of the past. Both Eta Kappa Nu and
Tau Beta Pi, honorary engineering
societies are fostering a movement to
improve the grounds about the En­gineering
Buildings, and their first
act will be to stop the practice of
cutting across the grass in front of
Ramsey Hall. Signs will be placed in
plain view of all trespassers, and stu­dents
will be requested to take heed,
this path has long been an eye-sore,
and it is hoped that the students will
cooperate with these societies in im­proving
the appearance of the
campus.
Salem, Mass.—(IP)—The "Salem
Trade School" will never lose anoth­er
football game, nor will it ever win
one again. As a matter of fact it
never has won a game, for there
isn't any such school. But here's the
low-down:
Six year ago Ritchie Ray King,
itching to take unto himself some of
that which is called filthy lucre, or­ganized
a football team, created the
mythical "Salem Trade School" for
the team to play for, and proceeded
to sign up high school games all over
New England.
"For the sake of dear old Siwash"
quothe Ritchie Ray King, "faculty
manager", "don't you boys dare win
a football game. If you do you're
fired."
The plan was a success. High
school coaches throughout this part
of the country were overjoyed every
time their boys played the "Salem
Trade School." The Trade School
line had holes in it a mile wide, and
if the opposing team couldn't make
such a hole, the Trade School boys
made it for them. High School fans
always turned out to see the games,
because they knew the home town
boys would win.
This brought gate receipts, and
Salem's Trade School received its
share thereof. In the joy of victory,
no high school official thought to in­vestigate
the gridders from Salem.
Then some school principle want­ed
to play the Salem team on its
home field, and the result was an
exposure. Now several New England
High Schools are looking for games
to fill open dates on their 1929 sched­ules.
Meanwhile, the eleven youths on
the Trade School team have pocket­ed
considerable money on the grid­iron.
Enemies Once Are
Now Room Mates
Raleigh Drennon, of Georgia Tech,
and Johnnie Niemeic, of Notre Dame,
deadly enemies for three years, are
now rooming together in Ashland, Ky.
They are employed by the Amco Steel
Company and play on the company's
football team.
The blond demon, Drennon, is well
known throughout the South for his
superior play a guard position on
Tech's team for the past three years.
Drennon was selected in the composite
all-Southern in 1928, finishing up his
college footbaH- career by playing a
splendid game in the Pasadena Rose
Bowl against the University of Cali­fornia.
Johnnie Niemeic was a fast-step­ping
halfback on Knute Rockne's far-famed
Irish team. This boy is plenty
good and was a threat to any op­ponent
for the sixty minutes he usual­ly
played. During the Tech-Notre
Dame game of 1928, Drennon was
breaking through and nailing him for
losses time after time. Niemeic bawled
his line out for letting Raleigh
through, but it was not the weakness
of the Notre Dame line, as the line
was not made that Drennon couldn't
penetrate. Last year Raleigh was a
"thorn in Johnnie's side," but this year
they are sleeping side-by-side.
The lion lies down with the lamb.

Powell, junior at Texas A. & M. Col­lege,

Mexico Adopts
New Penal Code
Mexico City—(IP)—Under the
terms of the new penal code drawn
up by President Portes Gil and Con­gress,
a Mexican father has the right
to kill his daughter and his seducer
incase the girl sacrifices her honor.
The new code also allows a hus­band
to kill his wife's consort in a
marital offense, and the same holds
t r u e for the wife as against the hus­band.
The code makes it certain, how­ever,
that no killer shall go unpun­ished
if it is not the first time he has
killed for the same reason, and then,
only if the victims are caught in the
act or about to commit the act.
Tuscon, Arizona—(IP)—Announce­ment
has been made by A. L. Slonak-er,
graduate manager of the Univer­sity
of Arizona that negotiations are
under way for a series of football
games between the University of
Arizona and the National University
of Mexico. Tentative dates are now
being arranged.

QUEEN ELIZABETH
By Katherine Anthony
The Borsoi Books Published by Alfred
A. Knopf, Price $4.00
"Queen Elizabeth" by Katharine
Anthony is the most recent bi­ography
of Queen Elizabeth publish­ed.
The author takes her material
from the existing biographies and
weaves together the facts obtained
into her own impression of Queen
Elizabeth's character. Since there
are no set rules for writing a bi­ography,
this story may easily be
t r e a t e d as a novel, of which Queen
Elizabeth is the heroine, here is nui-ty
of action and plenty of plot. The
story concerns the life of one of the
most interesting persons who lived
during the sixteenth century and,
being told in Katherine. Anthony's
simple straighforward style, makes a
most interesting book. It is certain­ly
well worth the time consumed in
reading it.
Considering the book from a more
substantial point of view) it becomes
r a t h e r doubtful at times as to wheth­er
the author in her book gives the
t r u e impression of Queen Elizabeth.
Too much of Katherine Anthony's
own handiwork is present. She ap­pears
as the dissecting artist who
t e a r s down the already existing bi­ographies
and from the fragments
fashions Elizabeth's character much
as a novelist would develop on the
characters in his novel. There are no
facts given that are hard to believe.
Nothing stated is left unexplained,
and all the facts are from reliable
sources. The book is instructive, but
the extent of its instructiveness is
somewhat curtailed by certain evi­dent
omissions. Several passages in
Elizabeth's life are passed over rath­er
hurriedly, and no mention what­ever
is made of literature during her
time. Literature flourished under
the English Renaissance during Eliza­beth's
reign and formed an import­ant
part in her life, yet Anthony
makes no mention of it. Shake­speare
is >not even mentioned, and
Bacon is brought in most casually.
Apparent amissions such as these
seem to indicate that there are oth­er
omissions. In-addition to this there
may be added the argument that
only the interesting facts of Eliza­beth's
life are given. Were there no
dull intervals? It hardly seems pos­sible.
Of course, the omission of dull
facts makes the book more readable,
but it detracts from the real value
of the work. However, it is possible
that the omitted passages were trival,
and not worth writing about. It is
yet too soon to determine.
A.I.E.E. Appeals For
A Larger Membership
Thome S. Winter, Chairman of the
A. I. E. E. made an appeal to all
members present at the meeting
Thursday night to help boost the at­tendance
at the meetings of the so­ciety.
The fact that the freshmen this
year are taking practically no inter­est
in the society was pointed out.
Winter stated that the old members
should be more active in getting the
freshmen to the meetings.
The program rendered was as fol­lows,
R. F. Hamm made a talk on
the "Failure of Bearings at Bartlett's
Ferry Power Station". In the talk he
discussed in detail the trouble ex­perienced
there with the bearings in
the generator units. W. R. Coleman
spoke on "Steroscopic Motion Pic­t
u r e s " . J. A. Willman gave a talk on
"The Development of Electrical En­gineering
in Japan".
Sigma Pi Is Visited
By National Secretary
Harold Jacobson, of Elizabeth, New
Jersey, Executive Secretary of Sig­ma
Pi Fraternity, visited the Auburn
Chapter Tuesday and Wednesday. He
is traveling around the country visit­ing
the various chapters in an effort
to show them how to improve them­selves
by establishing a firmer finan­cial
basis.
Mr. Jackson spent some time in
explaining the budget system and
how it can be successfully operated
by the Chapter. The advantages, he
pointed out are well worth the
trouble it takes in putting in a new
system. Not only will it help at the
present time, but in the future.
Mr. Jackson arrived from Tulane
on Tuesday, where he visited the
Tulane Chapter; he had come from
California to Tulane. He left Thurs­day
morning for Atlanta where he
will visit Emory, and then will go to
Mercer.
Annual Ag Fair Will
Take Place on Nov. 1
To Be Held Under Auspices of Ags,
Home Ecs and Vets
Definite announcements were re­ceived
from the Ag club today con­cerning
the Ag Fair to be held Fri­day,
November 1st. The fair this year
will not be sponsored by the school
of agriculture alone, but will be un­der
the joint auspices of the Ags,
the Home Ecs, and the Vets.
The fair will be formerly opened
by a mammoth parade through town,
led by the Auburn band. The parade
will consist of floats representing the
school of agriculture, the school of
home economics, and the school of
veterinary medicine.
The fair exhibits will be on display
on the first floor of Comer Hall, from
6 p. m. till 9 p. m.
Another feature of the fair will
be a program held on Ag hill at 7
p. m. Several numbers on the pro­gram
will be: a boxing match with
comic preliminaries, and a square
dance, the participants of which will
wear novel costumes, musical num­bers,
and several side-shows oper­ated
by freshmen members of the
Ag club. The program will be termi­nated
by the annual wheelbarrow
polo-match between the freshmen
and the sophomores" of the Ag club.
Newnan Merriweather, senior man­ager
and Howard Grey, junior man­ager,
will be in charge of the fair.
Auburn Stages Two
Games at Ft. Benning
Two Auburn football teams went
to Fort Benning yesterday afternoon,
engaging in games with two teams
composed of soldiers. The Varsity
scrubs played the Tank Corps, los­ing
by the score 7-6. Coach McFad-en's
freshman team, however, defeat­ed
the First Battalion 34-0.
The scrubs made their points on
a 90-yard drive down the field, a
twelve yard pass from Tamplin to
Kirkwood being good for a touch­down.
The failure to kick the ex­t
r a point lost 'the game. Sp^ann,
Tamplin, Manley, and Weible com­posed
the backfield which advanced
the ball across the field.
Spectators said that the entire
freshman team worked in unison to
overwhelm their opponents. All of
the men on the rat team played in
the game at different times. The
passing combination of Phipps to Bas-sett
was said to be largely responsi­ble
for the success of the rats.

unit will cost $100,000. Alumni pres­ent
endorsed the idea and pledged co­operation.
Dr. Knapp explained that his plans
were only tentative. He declared that
a stadium is essential to the advance­ment
of athletics at Auburn. He
said that Auburn is now the only
Southern conference college without
a stadium large enough to accommo­date
important games on the campus.
The meeting was called by Dr.
Knapp and Dr. J. V. Brown, alumni
secretary. General Robert E. Noble,
president of the Association was pres­ent.
He called the meeting to order
and presented Dr. Knapp who proced-ed
with the unfolding of his plans.

sion of metals. This study is of much
concern to the hydro-electric indus­t
ry of Alabama.
Prof. Arthur St. C. Dunstan, head
of the department of electric engin­eering,
is investigating the pitting ef­fect
of moving water on metals. He
is endeavoring to find a fundamental
basis or theory to explain some of
the peculiar pitting effects which
have been observed.
Stresses in a reinforced concrete
building are being investigated by
Prof. John A. C. Callan and Prof. C.
M. Suffish of the department of
civil engineering. They are check­ing
the relation between the calcu­lated
stresses and the actual stresses
and deflections in the Ross Chemical
Laboratory while it is under con­struction.
In cooperation with the United
States Bureau of Standards, the Fed­eral
Phosphate Company of Annis­ton,
and the University of Alabama,
the possibile manufacture of xylose,
a form of sugar, from cotton seed
hulls, peanut hulls and other waste
products is being studied at Annis­ton.
The aim is to point the way to
the economic and profitable produc­tion
of one or more products from
these low grade materials. Max
Bradshaw and Fred Acree are em­ployed
by the Alabama Polytechnic
I n s t i t u t e and are devoting their en­t
i r e time to this work at Anniston.
Considerable progress has been made.
Dr. C. A. Basore, Auburn chemist,
is making a study of the utilization
of the residue after the extraction of
xylose from cotton seed hulls, the
purpose being to convert waste ma­terials
into useful products. Substan­tial
progress has been made in this
work.
In connection with this Dr. Basore
is studying the possible utilization of
residue for feed and for fertilizer.
The value of the residue depends not
alone upon analysis but digestability
as a food and value as a fertilizer.
Dr. Basore is also making a study
with a view to reducing the cost of
the manufacture of xylose. He is en­deavoring
to find uses for by-prod­ucts
as a means of lowering costs.
A study of the economic factors of
the manufacture of xylose from agri­cultural
waste is being made by
Prof. J. E. Conn of the department
of economics. This study includes a
survey of costs of manufacture, cost
of raw materials and other economic
factors concerned.
Along with other research studies
Dr. Basore is studying possible and
probable utilization of agricultural
wastes for fuel and other chemical
purposes. Briquetting, pulverizing,
converting, and other chemical and
mechanical processes are being tried.
In conjunction with this Dr. Basore
is studying proboble utilization of
xylose. He is endeavoring to discover
commercial uses for the product and
to develop methods of manufacture
of these derivitives. The dietary ef­fect
of xylose as a food is being
given some study by Dr. Salmon of
the Department of Animal Hus­bandry
in his studies of nutrition. In
cooperation with the industrial arts
department of the Alabama Poly­technic
Institute a study is being
made by Dr. Basore of the composi­tion
and use of certain plastic ma­terials
and the best methods of work­ing
them.
Prof. C. A. Baughman and H. H.
Coleman of the department of high­way
engineering are studying high­way
traffic by making traffic counts,
timing speeds, measuring distance
between cars, and making special
prearranged tests with automobiles
to determine if possible the most ef­ficient
speed under average condi­tions.
As soon as the new Ross Chemical
Laboratory and the Textile Engineer­ing
buildings are finished the re­search
work in textile chemistry
will be started.
