MANY RECOMMENDATIONS
MADE TRUSTEES BY KNAPP
Engineering. Research Division
Be Established; Uniform
Change Made Effective
In commenting upon the work of
the Board of Trustees of the Alabama
Polytechnic Institute at its semi-an­nual
meeting on February 22, Presi­dent
Knapp pointed out that the minor
matters of approving the plans and
locations of certain buildings were
routine matters which had been con­sidered
numerous times in the last
six months. To move forward with
these now is simply carrying out plans
already long since considered.
However, President Knapp pointed
out that Auburn is going to move in
the encouraging of the dairy industry
from an agricultural standpoint in
Alabama. He said that in his judg­ment
the two outstanding lines in
Animal Husbandry are poultry and
dairying for this section of the coun­try.
Of course hogs and beef cattle
are important but he feels that dairy­ing
is coming and coming very fast.
He, therefore, wants the college to be
equipped to take its place in helping
farmers of Alabama along this road.
The new building authorized f or dairy­ing
will have a very complete dairy
laboratory and small manufacturing
plant where complete courses in dairy­ing
and dairying manufacturing may
be taught. The new barn authorized
will be the first real, worthwhile barn
to be constructed at Auburn and
marks the beginning of setting the
farm at Auburn upon a scale to at
tract the mind and admiration of the
best people of the state.
President Knapp emphatically said
that, in his judgment, the most far-reaching
step taken by the Board of
Trustees was the authorization to or­ganize
and establish an Engineering
Experiment Station or Research Di­vision.
He based this important step
upon the fact that this institution now
joins 34 other land-grant colleges and
universities who are already receiving
the benefit of Federal and State ap­propriations
for agricultural research
in establishing engineering research
along by the side of agricultural re­search.
The Board authorized the en­gineering
research to proceed along
the following lines:
Architectural Engineering, Ceramic
Engineering, Civil Engineering, Chem-

is- to have been an active mem­ber
of one of the literary societies
for at least four semesters, to have
shown ability to think and act effec­tively
before an audience, and to be
able to speak and write correctly.
Kiwanians Sponsoring
Post Office And Hotel
Several Other Projects Also Under
Consideration
EARNEST PRAISES
ALL CIVIC CLUBS
Main Theme of Speech Was
Art of Fine Living"
'The
At the regular weekly luncheon of
the Lions Club at the Thomas Hotel,
Tuesday, February 19, members of
the service club were honored with
an address by Mr. Milligan Earnest,
who was one of the charter members
of the former Lions Club which be­came
the present Kiwanis Club.
Mr. Earnest spoke highly of the
civic clubs in general, and praised
them for the splendid work they are
doing for the betterment of the com­munity.
The main theme of his
speech, however, was "The Art of
Fine Living." He referred to the
pride in one's physical being .which
would develop into pride in mental,
moral, and spiritual being. Mr. Earn­est
closed in saying that one must dis­cover
one's self in order to appreciate
the above.
Following an invitation to be pres­ent
at all future, meetings of the Au­burn
Kiwanis Club, the Plainsman
was represented this week by Rosscx
Alston, former Editor-in-chief of that
publication.
Mr. Alston stated today that he
found the Kiwanis one of the most
wide awake and progressive civic
clubs of Auburn and expressed him­self
as being pleased with the work
being carried on by that organiza­tion.
•
The local Kiwanis have several proj­ects
under consideration which they
will sponsor in the near future. These
projects will mean much to the gener­al
welfare of the community if suc­cessfully
carried out. Being a group
of live citizens the Plainsman visitor
said that there was no doubt that
the club would successfully fulfill their
mission.
Among other projects being con­sidered
by the club are a new post of­fice,
a plan to sanitate Auburn and
a new hotel. Much work has been
done in the past by members of these
organizations for civil betterment.
The Kiwanis as an organization will
sponsor these things which will meet
the demands and needs of a progress-iv
community and an enterprising
citizenry.

AUBURN R.O.T.C. UNIT
REVIEWED BY GRAVES
ON ANNUAL HOLIDAY
Governor Pleased With Ap­pearance
Military School
BOWLING IS SPEAKER
Both Attend Board of Trustees
Meeting While Here
George Washington's Birthday was
celebrated in a fitting manner here
on Friday, February 22, by the col­lege
and the townspeople; the college
authorities proclaimed a holiday, as
they have done in the past years, and
a program was presented Friday
morning.
The exercises consisted mainly of a
review of the R. O. T. C. unit by
Governor Bibb Graves, of Alabama
and his staff of military officers, and
an address by Judge W. B. Bowling,
distrtict judge of the third congress­ional
distrtict of Alabama.
Governor Graves arrived in Auburn
Friday morning, and at ten o'clock the
review was conducted. The entire
unit and the band were inspected by
the governor and his staff, composed
of the ranking officers of the Ala­bama
National Guard. The members
of the band were arrayed in their
dress uniforms, and the blue caps and
blue capes, with the orange lining,
produced an interesting and pleasing
sight. After the inspection, the unit
passed in review before. Dr. Brad­ford
Knapp, Governor Graves, the
Governor's Staff, and the officers of
the military department of Auburn.
The review was one of the best of the
year, and Governor Graves was very
well pleased with the military acti­vities.
The salute to the governor
was fired preceding the inspection.
Immediately following the review,
the dignitaries of the day went to
Langdon Hall, where the rest of the
activities were held. On the stage
were Dr. Knapp, the governor and his
party, Board of Trustees of the col­lege,
several members of the faculty,
and Judge Bowling, the principal
speaker of the day. Dr. Knapp intro­duced
Governor Graves, who made a
short address to the audience, which
was composed of members of the R.
O. T. C. unit and residents of Auburn
and neighboring towns. General But­ler,
Adjutant-General ,of Alabama,
was next introduced, and he in turn
introduced the different members of
the governor's staff. Following this,

Miss Glanton Will Plan With
Prospective Students
Crimson Felts Make
Appearance in City
A certain young man of the
name of Riley has forsaken the
green of the home of his ances­tors—
he created a sensation on
this campus when he nonchalant­ly
exhibited a crimson felt hat,
the first of this new rage in
men's headgear.
Fashion magazines have pre­dicted
a riot of color in clothing
of all types for men, and the
trend found instant popularity in
Paris, but not until the past
week was the fad introduced to
Auburn.
Let it be understood that, while
the hat in color was that usually
selected by dashing feminine
brunettes and certain types of
blondes, there was nothing ef­feminate
about this particular
head covering. In cut it resem­bled
exactly the popular felt
pleasing to masculine vanity and
was worn at the proper angle or
slant.
Whether or not the fad will
be generally accepted by college
men and men past the college
age it is difficult to predict at
this time. Suffice it to say the
innovation gave rise to consid­erable
excitement and small
boys were as entranced as when
the calliope of a circus passes by.
Elaborate plans are being made by
Home Economics for the summer ses­sion
of 1929 at Albaama Polytechnic
Institute. Graduate work will be
featured for the "first time. The work
is arranged to meet the requirements
of each individual student holding a
degree from an accredited college.
Thirty hours of credit and a thesis'
are required for a M. S. Degree, which
may be in the field of greatest inter­est
to the candidate. The selection
of the subject matter is not fixed by
the college, but chosen by the student
to meet her needs. Teachers will find
it especially good news that atten­dance
at three summer sessions will
complete the residence requirements.
Advanced work of this kind will lead
to great professional and financial ad­vancement.
Last summer there were
six graduate student pursuing studies
in various phases df home making.
The ~ number of undergraduate
courses leading to the B. S. degree in
Home Economics will be greatly en­larged.
The usual courses in nutri­tion,
dietetics, clothing and textiles,
home decoration, handicrafts .child
care and training, household manage­ment,
family relationships, economics
of the household will be offered. The
Practice House and the Nursery
School will be open the first session,
June 3 to July 13. If sufficient in­terest
is manifested either or both will
be kept open throughout the summer.
Special service courses for which
there are few or no pre-requisites will
also be given. Some of them are food
preservation, especially for Home
Demonstrations Agents; elementary
nutrition, for students with little
scientific training; cafeteria manage­ment,
for managers of small cafeterias
who wish to improve their technique;
the psychology of dress for all who
recognize the value of suitable cloth­ing.
Anyone interested is cordially invit­ed
to see or write Miss Louise Glan­ton,
who will be glad to plan very
definitely for the needs of prospective
students. If sufficient numbers apply,
other courses will be scheduled for
them. For this service, it is necessary
to apply early.
The last guns of today's games decreed that the Bradley
and Monticello fives will play off the finals tonight. Bradley
High won a c l o s e l y contested game over Tallapoosa by the score
of 31 to 19. Sullivan, of Bradley, was high point man of the
game, with fourteen points to his credit. Kimbrough, t h e smooth
playing Tallapoosa blonde, came next with ten points. Monti-c
e l l o won an easy victory over Robert E. Lee, the final score
being 3 3 to 12. Bass and Cowart, of Monticello, and Roberts, of
Lee, tied for high scorer of the game, each having nine points to
his credit.
The sports staff of The Plainsman, realizing that in the final
game of the tournament some player may become eligible for
the All-Cotton-States Team, has made the following selection
of this mythical five from the ability exhibited by these men in
the playoff series:
First team—Forwards: Sullivan of Bradley, Tynes of Monti­c
e l l o ; Center: Kimbrough of Dadeville; Guards, Duncan of
Bradley, Merriman of Robert E. Lee. Second team—Forwards:
Turner of Lanier, Hall of Perry High; Center: South of Carnes-v
i l l e ; Guards: Fain of Wetumpka, Cain of Lanier. This is not
the official pick of the tournament commmittee.
Scouts Begin Work
At New Location
Scout Executive L. W. Johnson Makes
Talk At Meeting
The Boy Scouts of Auburn held
their first meeting since the scout
hut was moved from College street
to a beautiful knoll amongst the pines
back of the College Gymnasium. Af­ter
the usual preliminaries Scout­master
Fick explained to the scouts
that starting with next Friday the
scouts would begin to build up real
troops by hinging their work on the
original ten members. After a few
games were played L. W. Johnston
Scout executive for the East Alabama
Council of the Boy Scouts of Ameri­ca
gave a short talk on the real values
of scouting, citing a few cases where
scouting had been beneficial, and in
one case where it might have saved
a life.
After the Scout meeting the mem­bers
of the Community Council who
had gathered at the hut retired to
Ramsay Hall to hold their annual
meeting. The Boy Scouts of Auburn
are sponsored by the three Civic
Clubs namely the Rotarians, Kiwanis
and Lions.
The most successful Cotton States
Tournament, as concerns interest
shown, since the founding of the class­ic
by Coach Wilbur Hutsell in 1922,
opened Thursday afternoon with a
one-sided game between Monticello
High, of Mississippi, and Midland
City High, Alabama. The Monticel­lo
quintet ran roughshod over the
Midland City cagesters, winning by
the record score of 56-2. During the
elimination series there have been
games running nearer the other ex­treme
of very close scores, one of the
tightest games being that in which
Tallapoosa County High nosed out
Sidney Lanier by two points. The
Auburn student body has shown a
strong interest in all of the games,
the gym being crowded for every con­test.
The excellence of practically
every team competing bears evidence
to the fact that the committee that
extended invitations to various high
school aggregations exercised wise
judgment in its choice.
Following are brief summaries of
all of the games of the elimination
series, in .the order in which they were
played.
First Game
Monticello High 56—Midland City
High 2.
Monticello High, the only represen­tative
from the Delta State, opened
the tournament with a decisive win
over Midland City High. Monticello
jumped into the scoring column with
the sound of the whistle, and was
shooting from all angles to ring up
the highest score of the tournament.
Midland City offered practically no
opposition, and was able to score two
points, both coming from foul shots.
Tynes- was the high point man, with
twenty-seven to his credit, and also
high point man of the tournament, so
far.
Second Game
Andrew Jackson' High 8—Talla-
Poosa County High 35.
The Andrew Jackson High, enter­ing
the tournament as a favorite to
reach the semi finals, was easily tak­en
in tow by the fast flying midgets
from Dadeville by a one-sided score
of 35 to 8.
Kimbrough, the "sandy haired cy­clone"
from Dadeville, contributed fif­teen
points to the cause, taking off
scoring honors of the game.
Third Game
Geneva County High 17—Sidney
Lanier 25.
The most interesting and exciting
game of the tournament took place
when Hartford High, of Geneva
County, and Sidney Lanier, of Mont­gomery,
took the floor for the third
battle of the day. It was anybody's
game until the last five minutes of
play, when Sidney Lanier pulled their
attack together, and ended the battle
NOTICE
There will not be a meeting of the
Auburn Players next Monday night,
Feb. 25, 1929. The meeting has been
called off due to the fact that Au­burn
has a basketball game on that
night. There will be a meeting of
the Auburn Players Monday night
week. All members please be there.
with an eight point margin on their
side of the score book.
It was in this game that a goal of
a freakish nature was registered; El­lis,
of Hartford, near his own goal,
made a high pass to a teammate.
Moseley, of Lanier, tipped the ball
upward, causing it to drop through
the Hartford net for two points as a
present.
Turner, of Lanier, was the scoring
man of the game, hitting the hoop for
twelve points. Cain, of Lanier, of
football fame,, gave a nice guarding
exhibition, also counting five points
for Lanier.
Strickland was the big man for
Hartford, counting five points, and di­recting
a good passing attack.
Fourth Game
Foley High 18—Franklin County,
Carnesville, Ga., 38.
Foley High, coached by a former
Auburn athlete, entered their first
game minus the services of one of her
best players, who was ruled inelegible
to compete in high school athletics,
according to an age requirement of
the State High School Athletic As­sociation.
The game was hard fought through­out,
with the teams being pretty
evenly matched, until just before the
the final gun, when Franklin High
pulled away to a decisive victory in
the last few minutes of play, win­ning
by the large score of 38 to 18.
For the winners, H. Williams and
South led the attack with sixten points
each.
Beasley led the attack for Foley.
This lanky center was dropping them
from all sides of the court, and was
responsible for fourteen of the total
eighteen points.
Fifth Game
Perry High 40—Wetumpka High 25.
Perry High, from the state of Geor­gia,
and Wetumpka, of Wetumpka,
Alabama, put on the classiest game
of the afternoon. For three long
quarters, both teams were fighting
furiously, with victory in sight for
either, but in the last quarter, Hall
went on rampage that sent the Geor­gia
team to the final minutes of the
game with a comfortable lead, which
they continued to hold until the smoke
of the battle cleared.
Hall, with seventeen points, and B.
Grey, with sixteen, were the main cogs
of the Carnesville aggregation, while
Fain was the big man for Wetumpka,
with ten points to his credit. Fain
also played a great floor game.^
Sixth Game
Alliance High 27—Malone High 8.
The big, brawny Alliance team lost
no time in putting the game on ice,
when they met Malone in the sixth
battle of the day. They accumulated
a decisive lead of 19 to 6 at the end
of the half, which was never in dang­er
of being overcome, and the last
half was very much of a resting
period for both teams.
Key and Glaze, the big husky cen­ter
and forward for Alliance, led the
attack with nine and seven points
respectively, while Baxter was the best
to do battle for Malone.

HASHED SCRAPS
' Auburn's demure efficiency expert, Carol Porter, steps forward with another
pertinent suggestion, to wit: That the Tiger Sandwich Shop collect the holes in
their doughnuts and sell such holes as are collectable to John the Greek for stuf-/
fing macaroni. We have noticed with suspicion the regularity of attendance one
bright young soph is showering upon a mid-semester co-ed. He seems to be a
.conquering hero seeking new worlds. Jimmy Cone stepped into the justly famous
barber shop and asked how long before he could get a shave. The barber on first
chair in rapt admiration replied "Well you might be able to start in a year or so."
J. C. Youngblood, more familiarly known as "Sex Appeal", author of the epochal
act presented by the boys of Alumni Hall on Stunt Night, had allowed his interest
in the Auburn Players to fall. However, on the night of February 19, at about
9:13 o'clock, we noticed a decided rise in that interest. It seems that Sex Appeal
has found something (?) on which to propound that art for which he has received
•so appropriate a cognomen. Artother thing—Roy Sellers was seen on College Street
Saturday night at 11:05 in company with a bottle opener. An interrogating by­stander
was tendered the remark, "Follow me and say nothing." Suspicious, we
call it. The guy we hate is the conceited chump who goes around trying to high-hat
everybody when he can only afford an eye-shade.

A ROMANCE THAT WAS
The sands of pure white on the bay that fair night,
Were gleaming 'neath the soft mellow moon,
And the whispering breeze which rustled the trees
Was playing an ethereal tune,
Inviting us two to give romance its due,
And abandon ourselves to our love,
So it hummed us a tune while the big golden moon
Smiled down from the clear sky above.
We two were alone, and in quivering tone
I emptied my heart to you;
By the light of the moon, and the breeze's soft tune
I told of a love that was true.
You told me you loved me; that mine you would be;
You sealed our vow with a kiss,
And I loved you that night, in the spell of moonlight,
Forgetful of gathering mists.
The dream did not live, and I'll never forgive
The way you deceived me that night,
And I'm glad that at last our romance is past,
And you're shown in your proper light;
You blasted my heart, and thought you were smart
To play with my love and my soul—
y But the time will come, and it won't be fun
When you will pay the toll!

HOO—S—IER SWEETHEART
Professor Asa Clarke, well known and Justly famous master of French
rhetoric, last week appeared to be very much perturbed as he walked the streets of
our "fair village". His usual cherubic smile was even more cherubic than usual,
one might even describe it as seraphic and beatific. The reason for all this seems
to be the result of his hasty trip to Birmingham for the purpose of securing his
"Hoosier Sweetheart".
It is rumored that while in Birmingham he entered into business negotiations
with a prominent publishing house for the publication of his book of "Hoosier
Sweetheart Ballads". The most outstanding poem of this collection is the following:
"Violets are red !
Roses are blue
A horse eats hay
And I love you."

This Life And
Then The Fireworks
With the approaching commencement ap­proximately
two hundred members of the
present Senior Class will receive Latin-worded
diplomas, attesting that they have
completed the requirements necessary for
graduation. They will be dumped upon an
utterly defenseless world, and this dumping
process will spill many of them from a life
of comparative ease to one of stern reality.
After four- years of pleasant college life,
they will be faced with the necessity of
earning a living, or accepting continued sub­stance
from Dad. In spite of the generally
accepted value of a college education, the
graduate enters upon his life's work under
a handicap. After spending fifteen years
in accumulating knowledge, he is expected
to accomplish much within the time that
remains.
The college graduate is something of a
free thinker. He frequently acquires a cer­tain
amount of sophistication and many con­sider
that the world is run by Babbitts and
Rotarians. Often he reaches the conclusion
that business is always impelled by material­istic
motives. This conclusion is correct.
But the comedy is staged when the col­lege
days are over and the collegian goes
to work. Collegians must apply for jobs
to the very men for whom they once ex­pressed
a sort of contempt. Often they are
lucky to locate jobs within several weeks
after graduation. We remember well many
of last year's graduating class who spent a
month or so before they landed a job. When
they eventually found work, they discovered
that their play days were over and that
the business of making a living was not so
easy as passing enough work to remain in
college. Of course a college graduate is not
daunted by the proposition of making a
living, but he perhaps wonders at the entire
lack of vocational guidance a general course
affords.
Local Big Ben
Not World's Best
"Backward, turn backward, O Time, in
thy flight" said one of our poets in a by­gone
day. Perhaps some English instruc­tor,
trying to pound an appreciation of poe­t
ry into a section of engineers, repeated
those words in an urlusually loud tone one
day. Perhaps the venerable clock in the
Main Building tower overheard the poe^s
words and took them to heart.
At any rate, some of the faces have slow­ed
up and gotten out of step with correct
time. Not to be outdone, the striking ma­chinery
has adopted a schedule of its own.
One must remember whether the west or
south face is referred to in noting the time
and mental correction must be made.
Of course, the difference is. not great;
we have yet to hear of anyone-jnissing any
meals or going to bed too soon because of
it, but it is sometimes inconvenient to walk
he building with five minutes to spare
losedly) and find that the lecture has
Id. We wonder if it would be much
trouble to set the venerable timepiece
aright.
Debating As Training
For Logical Thinking
There has been some recent discussion as
to the purpose of debating, whether the
sole object is that of developing a few men
for the purpose of winning, or to train the
greatest number of men. Many believe it
is desirable to train a few men well and
win as many debates as possible; but if
that were done the value of debating would
be defeated, the benefit of debating lies not
solely in winning decisions, but in training
speakers to think quickly and logically.
We admire the conception held by Profes­sor
Daughrity, Debating Coach, that the
latter view is the best and who for that
reason is training his men to regard decis­ions
as secondary.
At the present time all who try out for
debating teams are trained without partiali­ty.
No one is urged to come out who is not
interested, but if he does, then he receives
training equal to that given the most prom­inent
members. The freshmen have dis­played
unusual talent this year and by
training these younger men, many good de­baters
will represent Auburn in later years.
Six debates have been scheduled for this
current year, with possibility of several
more being added. In view of the obstacles
necessary to overcome plans for the present
year tend to show improvement over those
of former years.
Obnoxious Conduct During
Basketball Games
Auburn students have long had an en­viable
reputation for their conduct at inter­collegiate
athletic contests. Booing, catcalls,
and hisses, when directed at either the ref­eree
of the event or at the members of the
opposing team, are certainly not indicative
of good sportsmanship. In fact such ac­tions
will brand a student body as poor,
sportsmen more quickly than anything else
they can possibly do. The lamentable thing
is that at severa lof the latest contests
held in the gymnasium a few students have
made themselves obnoxious to the tradition
and spirit of 'Auburn by booing the referee
at basketball games. The members of the
teams representing Auburn object to these
outbursts on the part of the student specta­tors
more than do any other element.
The Art Of
Living Well
"The story of Human Progress," a book
by Leon C. Marshall, excites enthusiasm in
Dr. Glenn Frank, who expresses the wish
that it were possible to put into the hands
of every boy and girl in the world a copy
of the book.
According to Dr. Frank, Marshall's book
tells the story of man's historic struggle "to
master the art of living together well, and
the gist of the matter is that how well we
shall live together depends upon the fol­lowing
things:
1. How well we shall live together de­pends
upon the natural resources that are
available.
2. How well we shall live together de­pends
upon the scientific knowledge that is
available.
3. How well we shall live together de­pends
upon the scientific knowledge that
is available.
3. How well we shall live together de­pends
upon the tools, machines, materials,
and so on, that are available.
4. How well we shall live together de­pends
upon the human resources that are
available.
5. How well we shall live together de­pends
upon whether we use our natural
resources, our capital goods, our scientific
knowledge, and bur human resources for
better living or for evil living.
6. How well we shall live together de­pends
upon the effectiveness of our lan­guage
devices.
7. How well we shall live together de­pends
upon the effectiveness of our me­chanical
devices for communication and
trade.
8. How well we shall live together de­pends
upon the quality of our torchbear-ers,
the men and the movements, the indi­viduals
and the institutions that hand on
the gains of one generation to the next.
9. How well we shall live together de­pends
upon whether man, the communica­tor,
is guided by good ideals.
10. How well we shall live together de­pends
upon whether we make effective
use of specialization as a multiplier of our
powers.
11. How well we shall live together de­pends
upon the effectiveness of our de­vices
for helping men to find their right
places in the life and work of their time.
12. How well we shall live together de­pends
upon developing an understanding-ly
cooperative spirit.
"There are other contentions in this en­gaging
book, but these twelve points show
how near to the heart of the problem of hu­man
progress Mr. Marshall has struck,"
comments Dr. Frank.—Advertiser.
You have just experienced a splendid op­portunity
for making a favorable impres­sion
on representative Southern high school
lads for Auburn; did you make creditable
use of the chance? The various tourna­ment
entrees will carry their conception of
Auburn to the remote parts of the South;
and YOU played a part in the story they
will tell. Correct any harmful moves be­fore
another such occasion presents itself.
"Be sure that you go to church," was the
parting advice of a student to his Frat
brother as he delivered the latter at the
station Thursday afternoon. Which means
that the "Go-To-Church" campaign is reach­ing
vastly further than campus boundaries
in its influence. A worth while advent, we
are certain.
What would you think of a classmate
that is little enough to steal a textbook
or a complete laboratory exercise from you?
Evidently we have a limited number of
just s u c n characters here. Seemingly, that
is an offense too serious to be tolerated; we
recall the time when such acts were ship­ping
offenses here. Are they any more
desirable today? A thief is a long, ways
from home on the Auburn campus.
Revolutionary methods and procedures in
the educational field are now in order—and
some are being effectively and timely used.
We were very much impressed with the
method an .Auburn professor adopted for
giving a quiz this week. He gave an es­say
type test, and instead of taking the
papers he had the students keep them and
check his answers, making any alterations
or addition she might find advisable, draw­ing
no limits on his source of information.
The papers are to be turned in at the next
class meeting.
This seems a very laudable plan. So far,
the tests that are common here have failed
to teach anything, while we earnestly be­lieve
the one mentioned will disprove this
statement, in case it is practiced.
Believing that dumb brutes were creat­ed
for serving humanity, a number of little
tots in town have hit upon a means of car­rying
this adage to perfection. Perhaps
you have noticed a string of miniature skat­ers
hanging on to a police dog's chain,
while the gentle canine toils after his mas­ter
who leads the parade at a rapid roll.
That isn't even bumming a ride, is it?.
It takes two to make a silence uncom­fortable.
The wooden nag outwitted the defenders
of the Trojan gates. Which should offer
us a bit of encouragement in steering our
block heads!
Too many people are like the reserved
old negro; they have brains "whut ain't
never been used."
Modern Church Sermons
Divorce, companionate marriage, the
American home, book reviews and baptism
were discussed recently in Kansas City pul­pits.
These certainly would not have been
church topics fifty or a hundred years ago.
Does this indicate progression or retrogres­sion
in our civilization? In any event it
represents a radical change in our ideas
concerning religion and the church.
In the days of our mothers and fathers,
church sermons were based strictly on texts
taken from the Bible, "Be good and go to
Heaven, be wicked and suffer eternal tor­ment,"
was one subject upon which all min­isters
preached to their congregations. But
today, divorce and the American home, and
even books, are the subjects which ministers
talk over with their congregations. In­stead
of using texts from the Bible they use
quotations from Shakespeare. This revolu­tion
in the church, which is considered by
so many to be an improvement, has been
made necessary by the conditions of mod­ern
life. People no longer believe in the
old-fashioned heaven and hell and will not
listen to dull sermons on the subjects. They
go to church for practical guidance in their
everyday lives. Divorce and companionate
marriage were not problems a century ago.
But they are vital problems in the com­plex
world of today, and it is a good sign
that churchmen as well as writers and oth­er
men who seek to mould the public mind,
are striving for a solution and a remedy.
Whatever may be the objections to these new
topics for church sermons, they must be
credited with filling our churches again.

THE GEDUNK
I am the he-man athlete. I wear my
"A" sweater on all occasions because it is
a sure sign that I am a great fellow. I
tell everyone about the time that I made
that touchdown against Georgia, or about
the time that I knocked out the single that
beat Florida. I know that I am quite a
wonderful man because I have made the
varsity and at least, the people in my home
town think that that I am a mighty man.
I always speak in a loud voice on any sub­ject
and on all occasions, because by judg­ment
is always best. Of course most people
have forgotten that I only played on the
scrub team . . . .
SUCH CONDUCT
More than 30 years ago, during the "gay
nineties" when campus rules marked out
tidy, narrow paths for students feet at
Ohio Wesleyan, a slender, energetic young
man packed his trunk and departed from
Delaware, dismissed from the college for
having visited a pool room.
This week this same man returned to the
campus as the honored guest of the college.
He is Boyd Gurley, ex-'98 editor of the
Indianapolis Times, whose adventures in
journalism lead in 1928 to the receipt by
his paper of the Pulitzer prize for "the
most disinterested and meritorious service
rendered .by an American Newspaper dur­ing
the year." We will probably have a
big celebration someday.

DEGREES AND MORE DEGREES
In 1868 when William Cullen Kemp was
a freshman at Columbia university, a rela­tive
bequeathed him $2,500 a year so long
as he remained in college.
Kemp had a practical mind, and so, when
he died on Feb. 4, he was still a student
at Columbia University, having done not
a lick of work but study for 60 years.
Besides one degree not listed in the cata­logue
(D. P. M.) Doctor of Perpetual Mo­tion,
donated by students with whom he was
popular, and three B. S. degrees, Kemp
had the following degrees:
M. D.; A. B.; L. L. M.; L. L. B.; Ph. D.;
C. E.; E. E.; M. E.; E. M.; Phar. Chem.
Just think that here was a man who
had nothing in the world to do but just go
to college. How he is to be envied.
* * * * *
SUCH IS LIFE
His dream of service to his Korean coun­trymen
shattered by the advancing spectre
of death, Young Kyn Park, freshman-agri­cultural
engineering student at Iowa State
College, is lying in the college hospital—a
victim of tuberculosis.
Spurred by an ambition to acquire an edu­cation
whereby he could introduce advanced
agricultural engineering methods into his
native land, Park left his home in Seoul
last winter and landed in March*
He first enrolled in Mount Julian College,
Alozo, Ohio, but soon learned that the
courses were not what he desired. He then
went to Iowa State and enrolled last year.
FINE WORK
This week the University of Cincinnati
is having as its guests the delegates to the
convention of the colleges of the middlewest.
These men and women, delegates selected
by their respective student governments,
come to Concinnati this year to join in dis­cussion
and deliberation in order that they
may in some way raise the status of the
student, and solve some of the pertinent
problems of undergraduate life.
The Mid-West Student Conference has
convened every year since 1920. Each con­ference
has resulted in a very definite con­tribution
in the solution of the maze of ever
increasing student problems presented on
the various campi.
* * * * *
SUCH A DISILLUSIONMENT
Students at the University of Minnesota
had a blindfolded cigarette test recently.
Women students were to eat different
brand of expensive chocolates. The women
won. The men could not tell the kind "you
walk a mile for" from the kind that "satis­fy,"
but the women know their sweets.
* * * * *
SUCH DECEPTION
Oberlin College has followed the lead of
those higher educational institutions which
have abolished the six-letter grading sys­tem.
Hereafter Oberlin students will eith­er
"pass" or "fail," and they'll never know
whether it was a pass by a D. or an A.
What does the grade amount to anyway?
The parents say, "don't keep me in th'e
dark," though.
* * * * *
YES SIR!
The University of Washington is putting
on a nation-wide survey to see just what,
in the minds of the college heads, goes to
make up the collegiate, and if he is the typi­cal
college student. I'm for starting a sur­vey
to find out the most collegiate collegiate,
of the collegiate Fords, Whippets and cars.
Will Rogers and our sunshine man, Dr.
Petrie would make a competent pair of
judges, don't you think?

Lafayette College has granted scholar­ships
of $34,865 to students enrolled this
year. One hundred and eighty-four students,
near one-fifth of the entire student enroll­ment,
are receiving these scholarships.

EDITORIAL 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.
THE COURT jester used to be an in­stitution.
The kings, and many of
the feudal lords in "merrie olde Eng­land"
kept a clown as an important mem­ber
of the domestic retinue. Today we have
the irrepressible wise-cracker. The old-time
jester was usually rather scatterbrained,
to put it mildly. His modern prototype is
not unlike him in many instances.
A few, a very few, people are naturally
humorous at all times; they can find a
ludicrous twist in anything. Part of the
effectiveness of such people's humor, in the
columnistV humble opinion, is due to its
naiveite. The want-to-be-a-wisecracker re­sorts
to forced humor, which makes his
whole conversation disagreeable. He is my
pet conversational antipathy.
Well has it been said, "Let the jester be
his spontaneous self." When he has to be
constantly trying to be humorous, making
many stabs at jesting; getting an occasion­al
good remark out of several tries, with
the rest falling flat, he has missed his call­ing.
To me, absolutely nothing is as flat
as a joke that misses fire, and nothing is
as boring as the would-be jokester who con­stantly
fails in his attempts at humor.
Every fraternity house has at least three;
four centuries ago they would have been in
place; now, they are nuisances.
* * * * *
SLOVENLINESS is a pretty good word.
It probably comes from the Dutch word
slof, or the Low German word sluf,
both meaning careless. I believe that if a
person is slovenly in any one particular, he
will show the same trait in almost any­thing
else that he may do. For instance
grammar. A letter recently printed on this
page had to be edited by half the staff be­fore
it was printable, merely because the
writers were careless in their spelling.
Such simple common words as requisite arid
politics were misspelled. Now I don't want
to give an important job to an engineer
who is slovenly in his habits. If he spells
carelessly, how do I know that he doesn't
compute carelessly? Seemingly insignifi­cant
mistakes in engineering computations
may bring about disastrous results, such as
the failure of a beam in the bridge-span
at Quebec last year caused. Spelling care­lessly
and figuring carelessly don't seem
very unrelated, to me.
My hypothesis may be false, but it looks
logical, and would carry weight with a man
who received a letter from an engineer bid­ding
on a job, I believe. •
* * * * *
BAD SPELLING, aside from indicating
carelessness, may indicate a lack of
logical reasoning. Take a word such
as requisite, for example. The man who
didn't know how to spell it, yet had it in his
speaking vocabulary, could reason out the
correct spelling if he tried methodically.
Pronouncing a word slowly by syllables, will
usually make plain the spelling. The man
who fails to do this either hasn't the logi­cal
method, or doesn't recognize it. Could
he reason out a complicated problem in
bridge construction? I don't believe so.
BALLADE BY THE FIRE
Slowly I smoke and hug my knee,
The while a witless masquerade
Of things that only children see
Floats in a mist of light and shade:
They pass, a flimsy calvacade,
And with a weak, remindful glow,
The falling embers break and fade,
As one by one the phantoms go.
Then, with a melancholy glee
To think where once my fancy strayed,
I muse on what "the years may be
Whose coming tales are all unsaid,
Till tongs and shovel, snugly laid
Within their shadowed niches, grow
By grim degrees to pick and spade,
As one by one the phantoms go.
But then, what thought the mystic Three
Around me ply their merry trade?—
And Charon soon may carry me
Across the gloomy Stygian glade?—
Be up, my soul; nor be afraid
Of what some unborn year may show;
But mind your human debts are paid,
As one by one the phantoms go.
Envoy
Life is the game that must be played:
This truth at least, good friends, we
know;
So live and laugh, nor be dismayed
As one by one the phantoms go.
—E. A. Robinson.

ESCAPE
When foxes eat the last gold grape,
And the last white antelope is killed,
I shall stop fighting and escape
Into a little white house I'll build.
But first I'll shrink to fairy size,
With a whisper no one understands,
Making blind moons of all your eyes,
And muddy roads of all your hands.
And you may grope for me'in vain
In hollows under the mangrove root,
Or where, in apple-scented rein,
The silver wasp-nests hang like fruit.

Chi Omega Announces
Recent Initiates
Alpha Beta of Chi Omega announ­ces
its recent initiates: pledges, Mes-dames
Ellison McColloch and Cather­ine
Sewell, Misses Willie Mae Cow-den,
Lane Graves, and Audrey Fuller.
In addition to these pledges the fol­lowing
ladies were initiated as hon­orary
members: Mesdames S. L.
Toomer, C. A. Basore, C. R. Hixon,
Allison, and Miss Lilly Spencer. In
like manner other chapters of Chi
Omega have chosen outstanding wo­men
to be members, a few of whom
are: Mrs. Mabel Walker Willebrandt,
U. S. Assistant Attorney General, and
Judge Florence O'Toole, of the Wash­ington,
D. C. chapter; Mrs. Leroy
Springs, Past-President of .the Fed-
Local Chapter U.D.C.
Meets
The local chapter of the U. D. C.
met at the home of Mrs. Welborn
Jones on Tuesday afternoon, with
Mesdames Susie Wright and E. F.
Cauthen, and Miss Williams as joint
hostesses. Prof. Alec Saunders gave
an interesting and illuminating ad­dress
on "Lincoln, the Myth, versus
Lincoln, the Man". A few of the
ideas advanced by Prof. Saunders
were built around such conceptions as:
the industrial and practical North
fighting for an ideal—the saving of
a nation—while the idealistic and ro­mantic
South fought for a practical
reality—the saving of its homes; the
differences with which his home town,
Springfield, regards him today—one
group truly venerating Lincoln, the
visionary, far-sighted man; the others
(the crowd) exploiting his memory for
business purposes. Ideas such as these
presented by Prof. Saunders in his
forceful manner made this meeting
one that will long be remembered by
those present.
Late in the afternoon a delicious
ice course was served the fifty guests
by the charming hostesses.

BRADLEY AND MONTI-CELLO
REACH FINALS IN
BASKETBALL MEET
(Continued from page 1)
Seventh Game
Bradley High 24—La Grange High
16.
Bradley High, flying the Tennesse
banner in the tournament, got away
to an early lead over the^La Grange
aggregation, and managed to hold this
lead throughout four periods; how
ever, the La Grange bunch was still
fighting at the final gong. This game
was probably the most evenly contest­ed
game of the day, with the margin
of victory only increasing in the last
minute of the game.
Sullivan was the high point man for
the winners, with ten points. McGee
was the big gun for La Grange with
five points to his credit. Bradley dis­played
a team that was able to work
the ball under the basket before a
shot was taken, and few were missed.
Eighth Game
Robert E. Lee High 34—Tallassee
High 20.
Robert E. Lee, working a fast-breaking
attack, was able to eliminate
the fifth Alabama team from the
tournament by the score of 34 to 20.
But only in the last half was the
Florida crew able to stop the fast
flying boys from Tallassee. At the
half, Tallassee left the floor leading
by a 13 to 12 margin, but this was
quickly overcome by the "Generals"
when play was resumed.
Manson led the attack for the "Gen­erals,"
with eleven points, while Ma­son
assumed the star role for Tallas­see.
Merriman played a game at
guard for Robert E. Lee, and was also
a contributor of six points.
SECOND ROUND
First Game
Monticello 26—Carnesville, Ga. 18.
The second round of the tourna­ment
brought together the fast fly­ing
Monticello High from Mississip­pi,
and Franklin Courtty High of
Carnesville, Georgia. From the flash
of the gun, both teams were flashing
a strong defense with little oppor­tunity
for either team to do much
scoring.
The Monticello aggregation was
able to pass through the strong
Carnesville defense to command a
slight lead as the first half came to
a close.
The Carnesville boys came back in
the third quarter with an attack that
seemed destined to elevate them to
victory, but this attack was shortlived
and did not carry any potential

strength to turn back the boys from
Mississippi.
Both teams were taking few
chances of sinking long shots but
were contented to work the ball un­der
the basket before taking a shot.
Cowart panned the basket for twelve
points for Monticello, with Carnes
contributing nine, and playing a nice
game at center.
Wilson was the offensive star for
the losers, with eleven points to his
credit.
The game was hard fought, but
few fouls were galled throughouft
the game.
Second Game
Dadeville 26—Sidney Lanier 24.
The fast and furious battle of the
day took place when the Dadeville
"Midgets" locked horns with the pur­ple
clad warriors from Sidney La­nier,
and such a battle it was.
The game was a see-saw affair
throughout, with one team taking the
lead for a few minutes, only to have
it wiped out by the excellent playing,
and neither team was assured of vic­tory
"until the last shot had been fir­ed.
The- first half found Sidney La­nier
on the long end of a 15 to 14
count.
Dadeville came back strong in the
•third quarter, and accumulated a
seven point lead, the greatest margin
of the game, but Lanier slowly re­duced
this lead, and it seemed as
though the victory would be theirs.
But- the final whistle caught them
two points short of victory, with their
last desperate shot for victory hit­ting
the hoop, but bounding to the
outside as the game ended.
The" consistant playing of Kim-brough,
the flashy center for Dade­ville
was easily the outstanding fea­ture
of the game. This young man
is, in our opinion, the best player to
adorn the local gym throughout the
tournament; his contribution for the
day was good for twelve points.
For Lanier, Turner and Moseley
stood out offensively, with eight and
seven points respectively. Cain play­ed
a good game at guard, and was
very adept at taking the ball from
the backboard and using his left
hook to send it far into Dadeville
territory.
Third Game
The "Generals" of Robert E. Lee
High won their way to the semi-finals
by defeating the giants of Alliance
High 20 to 17 in a fast but ragged
encounter. The fast breaking of­fense
of the "Generals" gave them a
lead in the first few minutes of play
that was never overcome, although
the Alabama outfit threatened
throughout the game.
The Floridians handled the ball
well and made most of their shots
count while the Alliance outfit re-

ical Engineering, Highway Engineer­ing,
Electrical Engineering, and Me­chanical
Engineering. Research in
agricultural engineering is already in
progress under the-Agricultural Ex­periment
Station.
President Knapp announced that
there were already a number of very
fine lines of work which have been
underway for sometime past in the en­gineering
division. Many of the en­gineering
faculty have been used as
experts by the industries of the state
from time to time and out of these
consultations has grown some lines of
research work. The Alabama Poly­technic
Institute is already in coopera­tion
with the Bureau of Standards,
the State Industrial Development
Board, the University of Alabama,
and the Federal Phosphorus Company
in some research work regarding the
utilization of waste products in the
manufacture of xylose. The Chemical
Engineering Division and the Agri
cultural Research Division are plan­ning
to make certain studies of agri­cultural
waste products other than
those already underway.
President Knapp pointed out that
the authority granted, under his re­quest,
for permission to develop
WAPI, Radio Broadcasting Station
built by the Alabama Polytechnic In­stitute,
into a state-wide service
broadcasting station was another sig­nificant
and important movement. He
believes that this may easily be a step
toward better cooperation between
educational institutions. The coopera­tion
to be extended to the University
of Alabama and the Alabama College
for Women is on a broad scale. He
says that he is actuated in doing this
from two or three different angles.
One of the most important of these
is his own personal feeling that it will
be a means of economy to the state
ultimately. No one educational insti­tution
can operate a great broadcast­ing
station without bringing too
heavy a burden upon itself for the
simple reason that it does not need
full time on the air. One station can
easily furnish ample time for quite
a number of educational institutions,
together with those programs which
are of universal interest, through
broadcasting chains. He said that he
hoped this would come into fine com­pletion
because, if it does, it means
that Alabama will be the first state
in the United States to have one great
station owned and operated by those

lied on a rugged, crashing type of
basketball that has carried them to
victory all the season. It failed to
go against the Florida crew, however,
with the Generals following the ball
like hawks.
Merriman and Manson led the scor­ing
of the 'Gator outfit and Rosen-burg,
a sub back guard turned in a
great defensive exhibition. Key and
Glaze were the outstanding perform­ers
for the Alliance outfit.
Fourth Game
Bradley High of Cleveland, Ten
nessee, exhibited a powerful offense
in turning back the Perry High quin­tet
37 to 19 in the final game of the
second round. The overwhelming
defeat was something of a surprise
following Perry's excellent showing
against the Wetumpka outfit Thurs­day
night.
Bradley's team of six-footers scored
almost at will in the first half of the
encounter and led by a 21 to 6 score
at the intermission. Duncan and Gib­son,
big guards of the Bradley ag­gregation,
did not allow the Perry
forwards a single crip shot in the
first half.
The Tennessee team slowed down
somewhat in the third period but
Perry never seriously threatened. In
the final stages of the game the Brad­ley
team came to life and ran up a
fairly high score. Sullivan, Lacey,
and Duncan starred for Bradley while
Hall was the outstanding performer
for Perry.
who are responsible directly to the
state and associated so largely with
the educational interests of the state.
Dr. Knapp pointed out that in this
cooperation nothing would be done
that would disturb, hamper or inter­fere
with the broad duties and re­sponsibilities
of the Alabama Poly­technic
Institute which brought about
the original inception of WAPI; name;
ly, to reach the people of the whole
state with useful and practical infor­mation
regarding agriculture and
home economics, under the authority
of the Smith-Lever Act and to broad­cast
in cooperation with the State De­partment
of Markets and the United
'States Department of AgricuSture,
timely information regarding markets
and market conditions. He feels that
these can be safeguarded fully and
yet this broader program fully taken
care of.
In closing this interview President j |===x
Knapp expressed the thought that ex­perience
in cooperation and in a co­operative
enterprise might draw the
great educational institutions of the
state closer together. It was his be­lief
that good understanding and ap­preciation
between these institutions
would set Alabama far forward and
at a much more rapid pace than any
other one thing. Each of these insti­tutions
has important functions to
perform and the great need is en­couragement
in the full performance
of those functions rather circumscrib­ed,
narrow, hampered fields through
misunderstanding and dissociation.

Judge Bowling was presented by Dr.
Knapp.
Judge Bowling, in his address, ex­tolled
the virtues of Washington, and
pointed out a practical application of
those virtues in the every day lives
of the American people. The judge
left with his hearers the thought that,
in Alabama, success could be gained
by hard work; that our state offered
opportunities for success that are un­surpassed
anywhere, and that it was
not necessary for our-sons to seek
their fortunes outside of this great
commonwealth. He also expressed
the hope that the state legislature
might see its way clear to revise the
archaic criminal code of Alabama, by
which, he stated, forty five percent of
those convicted of crime were able,
through technicalities, to escape
punishment. He pointed out the fact
that our code of laws is founded on
the laws of the time of Henry VIII
of England; that since then times
have changed, making necessary legal
