Him Mass Meeting Tonight for Rats THE PLAINSMAN TO F O S T E R T H E A U B U R N S P I R IT Congratulations Cadet Officers VOLUME LIV AUBURN, ALABAMA, SATURDAY, SEPT. 13, 1930 NUMBER 2 C. L SCHLICH NAMED CADET COLONEL OF ARTILLERY REGIMENT GOVERNOR AND MRS. GRAVES SPEAK AT HRST ASSEMBLY Governor Appeals To Beginners At Auburn To Prepare Themselves by Diligence to Duty, Thoroughness in Work, Mastery of Studies, and Practicing of Highest Ideals and Habits LARGE ASSEMBLIES HEAR GOVERNOR: PRESIDENT KNAPP TELLS STUDENTS THIS IS LARGEST RAT CLASS Mrs. Graves Reminds Students That By Attending College They Are More Fortunate than Other High School Graduates, And Urges Them To Acquire Knowledge And Develop Leadership Freshmen were greeted Friday morning by Governor and Mrs. Graves at a special convocation which preceded the regular class work for the new students. In introducing Governor and Mrs. Graves to the new arrivals, President Knapp announced that the class is the largest in the history of Auburn and that it exceeds the total freshmen enrollment for the 1929-30 session. Governor Graves talked on preparedness for life. He made a brilliant appeal to the beginners at Auburn to prepare themselves by diligence to duty, thoroughness in their work, the mastery of their studies, and the practicing of the highest ideals and habits while in college. "Develop yourselves and the be captains of your own salvation," said the governor as a climax of his appeal. Practical idealism was the theme of an impressive talk by Mrs. Graves. She reminded the students that by attending college they are more fortunate than the thousands of high school graduates who have stopped short of college education. She told them that this advantage carries greater responsibilities; and that while acquiring book knowledge in college they should train and develop themselves to be leaders in whatever they become engaged after completing their college careers. Governor and Mrs. Graves delivered two addresses during their brief stay in Auburn. Upperclassmen attended the first convocation while the freshmen attended the second. President Knapp appeared optimistic over the outlook for the year's work now beginning. ite For Glomerata Pictures To Be Set Soon, Is Announced Pictures for the Glomerata will be taken at an early date, it was announced today. The exact time to be made public later. It is the object of the staff to make the prices very small, but at the present date the "name of the photographer has not been announced, Hugh Ellis, editor-in-chief of the Glomerata, expressed the hope that every student at the Alabama Polytechnic Institute would have his picture in the annual this year. Every effort will be made, on the part of the staff, to reduce the prices as low as possible, and each student is expected to cooperate by having his picture taken. The Glomerata is a record of happenings, published each year by and for the students of Auburn. Hugh Ellis, editor-in-chief, is very enthusiastic over the outlook for the coming year, and it is his object to cooperate with Rex Sikes, business manager, in putting out the best Annual that Auburn has known. Pep Meeting And Reception Held For Frosh Friday Rats Taught Veils At Meeting; Coaches and Prominent Students Introduced New Animal Husbandry and Dairy Building MANY FROSH ATTEND Reception Given Frosh By Y. M. C. A. Follows Meeting In Langdon Hall An informal reception for freshmen, sponsored by the Y. M. C. A., was held at Langdon Hall Friday night at seven-thirty. It is estimated that over four hundred formed in front of the building to begin a snake-dance through town. After a march down the main street, the freshmen assembled in the auditorium and heard President Knapp and several prominent upperclassmen speak. The reception was presided over by Eugene Gray, president of the Y. M. C. A., Hugh Ellis, as editor, and Rex Sikes, as business manager of the Glomerata, said a few words in behalf of the 1931 edition. They were followed by Gabie Drey and Charles Davis, editor and business manager of the Plainsman, Howard Gray, president of the Senior class, Bill Myrick, president of the Initerfratemity council and John Christian, president of the Undergraduate Student Association. The coaching staff and the football captain, "Red" Harkins, were also presented at the rally. After the yells, the program was concluded, and the Frosh were served with refreshments furnished by the Y. M. C. A.

Permission was secured by the Executive Cabinet of the Associated Undergraduate Students of the Alabama Polytechnic Institute .from Dr. Knapp to hold a script dance September 20, at the gymnasium. This being the first dance of the present college year, the members of the Executive Cabinet expressed the hope that it .would be a general get-to-gether preparatory to the opening dances. And out of town orchestra will be engaged to furnish the music, but as yet the plans have not been completed to the extent that the name can be made public. Sabel Shanks, chairman of the Social Committee, is in charge of all arrangements, and he stated that the Committee was negotiating with several excellent orchestras. President Extends Welcome to Frosh "Education as the Development Of Personality" Is Subject Of Dr. Knapp's Talk Christian Endeavor To Be Held Sunday Students are cordially invited to attend the program of the Christian Endeavor to be given at the Presbyter, ian Church Sunday evening, September 14, from six-thirty to seven-thirty.

It is hoped that all of the students who have attended Christian Endeavor while at home will attend the society here. Regular meetings of the organization will be held each Sunday evening from six-thirty to seven-thirty at the Presbyterian church. The fifty-ninth freshman class of the Alabama Polytechnic Institute was welcomed Wednesday morning by Dr. Bradford Knapp in an address on, "Education as the Development of Personality." In this address the importance of education waS stressed by quoting figures to show that even though only four and one-half per cent of the American people have a college education, eighty-five per cent of those listed in Who's Who are college men. Dr. Knapp brought out. very forcefully the importance of developing a personality. Along this same line he urged his listeners to strive after those qualities of character that would help live a more enjoyable life as well as a more worthwhile one. Following this address by the president the deans of the college outlined work which their department is to carry out during the year. Wednesday afternoon a tour of the college campus was conducted by the Y. M. C. A. as well as an English placement test given all freshmen preparatory to meeting classes Friday. INTERFRAT COUNCIL TO MEET ON OCT. 6 Meeting To Be Held On First Monday of Next Month: Place Not Named HOPE FOR BANNER YEAR Council To Sponsor Various Inter- Fraternity Activities During School Year New Animal Husbandry Building and Dairy Barn Completed; Now In Use The new Animal Husbandry and Dairy Building, which was completed in July and is the latest addition to the agricultural campus, is now being used. The building, which is a four-story brick structure, is shown in the above picture. The first floor is occupied by the dairying department and contains the creamery, the laboratories for work in dairying, and the refrigeration machinery. This department supplies the college cafeteria and also some of the residents of Auburn with milk, handling both pasteurized and grade A raw milk. The department also expects in the near future to supply ice cream and butter. The creamery is completely sanitary and as up-to-date as the best and most modern machinery can make it. Practically all machinery and equipment has been installed and everything is expected to be in readiness in two weeks, at which time the department will be-open for inspection. The second floor contains the offices of the departments, the class rooms, and the library. On the third floor the animal nutrition department has its rooms and laboratories, while the fourth floor contains ample space for storage. Recently connected with the Animal Husbandry department is Mr. J. G. (Continued on page 6) Work Being Rushed on New Textile Building The new textile building is rapidly being rushed to completion, and according to present plans will be ready for occupancy within thirty days. Equipment has been ordered, and will begin to arrive by September 15. It will fie installed as soon as the building is ready. Insinuation of equipment will be done by students in the School of Textile Engineering with the supervision, and assistance of Prof. E. W, Camp, and representatives from the factories manufacturing equipment. The new building is being built-at a cost of, nearly $164,000, and the retail value of equipment ordered amounts to over $100,000. Professor Camp stated that he hoped to have all equipment installed early this fall. The building will be modern in all of its appointments, and will contain a complete textile mill in miniature, in which students will obtain practical experience in their work. It contains over 40,000 square feet of floor space. The Inter-Fraternity Council will have its -first .meeting -of the year, Monday, October 6. According to Bill Myrick, president of the Council, this is going to be a banner year with much stress being placed on inter-fraternity athletics. At the present time it is the object of the Council to conduct tournaments in tennis, golf, and basketball, and it is possible that other additions will be made to the list during the year. Itvis also the object of the Council to continue its practice of assuming charge of the fraternity houses during the dances. As stated by the president, the real object of the Council is to direct the fraternities on the campus, and to guide their policy in regard to the administration. The Inter-Fraternity Council is composed of two representatives from each fraternity, being elected for one year. The officers for the present term are as follows: Bill Myrick, President; F. W. Ren-neker, Vice-President; and T. G. Ama-son, Secretary-Treasurer. SINDO, MYRICK, BAREFIELD AND HILL ARE CADET MAJORS Appointments and assignments of cadet officers in the R. O. T.

One thousand ninety-one students answered to the roll call at the first formation of the R. O. T. C. unit tihs morning. According to Lieutenant O. Bowman, adjutant, since more registrations are expected, the number is expected to grow and top last year's mark. Of the number enrolled, 881 belong to the Field Artillery unit and 210 to the Engineer unit. This year's enrollment according to classes is compared with last year's figures. The present figures are approximations and to date only, while those of last year were taken at the end of September.

Ca- (Continued on page 6) Gas Company Officials Announce That Service Will Begin Oct. 15 Natural gas will be burning in Auburn about October 15 according to announcement made today by officials of the Alabama Natural Gas Corporation. The coming of natural gas to Auburn from the giant transmission line of the Southern Natural Gas is expected to be one of the most valuable contributions to Auburn that has taken place in some time. Lines are rapidly being laid along the streets and care is being exercised by the engineering forces to displace as little as possible the permanent paving in this city. Instructions have been given to use alleys and side-streets wherever possible for the gas line in order that as little damage as possible would occur to the permanently improved streets. Offices of the Alabama Natural Gas Corporation and the showroom have been opened in the Hotel Thomas where there will be on display within a few days a complete line of gas appliances designed and built especially for natural gas. With the recent reduction in natural gas rates, which has been announced, and which is expected to be in effect October 1st, it is believed that residents of Auburn may utilize this modern, efficient, and clean fuel liberally in househeating, hot water heating and cooking without incurring an expense (Continued on page 6) Funeral Services For Mrs. C.

C o n g r a t u l a t i o n s , Mr. Otis S p e a r s! The Plainsman congratulates Mr. Otis Spears, who was named to receive the Birmingham News scholarship to Auburn this year. Mr. Spears, of Tisgah, Alabama, was chosen by a committee composed of faculty members from a large field of applicants as the most deserving of the scholarship. The task of choosing was a hard one, and the only regret of the committee was that there were vnot more scholarships. Several of the applicants, undaunted by the failure to secure the coveted scholarship, are in Auburn today, working their way through the institution. Much praise is due these boys who are not going to let anything stop them from getting educations. When the recommendations of the applicants are read, one can readily see why Auburn is indeed fortunate in having Mr. Spears and his unsuccessful friends as students. The school is proud of them. The publishers of the Birmingham News are complimented for making it possible for deserving youths to secure college educations. It is the regret of the Plainsman that other newspapers do not follow the lead of the News. The Freshmen And F r a t e r n i t i es When the average freshman comes to college in the fall he finds, among the many other problems that loom up in front of him as the mole hills do to the ant, that he is confronted with the proposition of joining a social fraternity. There are twenty-five such organizations on-'this campus with an average membership of about thirty so it can be seen that about half the men at Auburn are fraternity men. Assuming that a man is financially able to belong to one of these societies and that he will receive a bid to one, there are many things that he should carefully consider before he allows himself to be pledged. The most important, and the one that should be placed above all other considerations, is for him to be sure that he can fit in with the crowd of boys who comprise the present active chapter. He should remember that he will, in all probability, live with most of these men for the next four years, eat at the same table with them, and in most cases take them into his home. He should not be satisfied with only thinking that he can get along with them all right. This is merely toleration and is in direct opposition to the very spirit of these organizations. He should be sure that he can not only get along with them but can even be proud of introducing every member to his parents as a fraterity brother. It is far better to never join a fraternity than it is to join one where all the boys ideas seem to clash with those of the freshman. Freshmen should remember that to make a mistake in joining a fraternity is to make a mistake that will take its toll during his entire college career. Remember this, in some ways a fraternity brother is much better than a real blood brother for you can choose your fraternity brothers. Be sure, and exercise this privilege wisely. A r e T e x t b o o k s C h a n g ed Too O f t e n? The repeated change of textbooks brings to one's mind the question of whether or not the additional expenses are too burdensome on students. Many new books must be bought each year, which, if they were better standardized, could be bought second hand, at a saving to the users. In certain subjects which are given to broaden the minds of individuals, the textbooks used are of no aesthetic value to the student after the subject has been studied and the purpose and substance__absorbed. But, the book may be changed, and the student is left holding something which is of no practical value to him. A change of textbooks is evidence of a change of the methods and standards of teaching. It is true that the methods of teaching are changing—being improved upon. Yet, are they changing fast enough to justify the changing of a textbook every year or two? Of course, some texts are better than others and it is only reasonable to expect that some alterations and necessary. Judicious efforts should be made to determine which are the best books. The intention of this editorial is not to criticise, but to seek a satisfactory answer to a question that is prevalent on the campus at this time. The efforts of the faculty members to advance the modern methods are appreciated. Much money is tied up in useless books. Some students may have as much as fifty dollars spent on texts which cannot be sold. Does this not work a hardship on both students and parents? A news-item tells us about a sailor who went into a New Orleans speakeasy operated on Piggly Wiggly ^tyle. As he was helping himself, police broke in and arrested him for operating the place. It seems as though he crossed the bar once too often. Rhapsodical Revelations By Vasili Leoniduitch ALL SUMMER I have listened to the disgruntled mutterings of farmers because of the drought. The papers have been full of proposed remedies, and even our arid President has appointed committees to vie with the elements. Then with my return to school come deluges that would call Noah to action. Lest someone fear that I have included Mother in my criticisms; I wish to explain that the subtle moral is to stay away from "Ag Bottom". There is no denying that rain has its relaxing qualities. Yet it is the opinion of one of the freshmen, that the poet who murmured "It isn't raining for me" could never have journeyed from the Library to one of the fraternities in the stranded depression, without emerging from the slough to employ his poetical license in damning every mud hole. That, I am afraid, would tax a sailor's vocabulary. The prevailing book situation seems to be another one for Darwin and Chick Sale. The naturalist chould find abundance of material for a treatise on "The Evolution of Auburn Text Books," and the humorist might find a practical use for the collection of books that are discarded every -year because of experimental changes. Possibly many fond fathers have begun to wonder what is considered the paragon of authen-icated information in Auburn. It seems most fitting to comment on the new co-eds. Even in my brief career I note phenominal changes, and it is altogether possible that if this improvement continues that our scions will spend their week ends in Auburn. Even the "Zoo" may become domesticated. Rudy Valee is introducing a new song for the University of Alabama corresponding with the Main "Stein Song", that has swept the country like the stein's contents. I trust that Auburn men do not need syncopated chasers yet. The new professor who rolls his own cigarettes should serve as a lesson in economy. I also understand Einstein failed in Math—who knows but that they may be human? In another valiant effort to finish my column allow me to say that I am daring to hope that my relations with the contemporary columnist, who makes his initial bow in "Sidewalks of Auburn" in this issue, will be more amicable that that of Aaron Billowheel and Tom Bigbee. May we strive together to win the universal damnation of the campus. The rain continues, my mind wanders to the thrills of recent summer romances; but all vanish before the harding reality of classes, lectures, and the infernal necessity of getting up laundry. Finis. Prexy's Paragraphs By Bradford Knapp Settling down to work is a difficult thing. We are trying our best to see everybody, talk over everybody's plans and help get students settled and in shape for the year's work. Don't get discouraged and go away. Come and see us and we will all endeavor to work it out together. The first week is the hardest one in many ways. Your task is to adjust yourself to the routine of the work. Make the adjustment as soon as you can and apply yourself to the job. * * * * * Just a word to those students who have place to work and who are endeavoring to earn a part of their way through college. There are hundreds of worthy fellows and dozens of girls just waiting for a job. They have not been as fortunate as yau have been in finding something to do. Under such circumstances I want to impress it upon you that your best way to hold that job is to deliver a full measure of work. Do the task as well as you can do it. Try to merit the confidence of those for whom you are workign because that is the best way to hold on to your job. If you fall down on the job through carelessness or indifference, you must not complain if your employer tries another student. Even further that that I want to say that the best way to encourage the people of this town to employ students is for students to do a good piece of work. * * * * * ; There are so many automobiles in Auburn and such a great increase in the number of people who are driving up and down the streets and also walking on the streets that a word of caution regarding courtesy and consideration on the part of both drivers and' pedestrians is surely not out of place. It is true this is a small town with no "speed-cops" it it. Automobile accidents are always the result of violation in some measure of traffic regulations or inattention on the part of the driver to dictates of common courtesy and caution. More than twenty years ago when I passed an examination for a driver's lecense in a certain eastern state the Police Commissioner asked me who had the right-of-way at crossings and I told him that generally it was the other fellow. He laughed and said that was a pretty good answer. None of us like to be imposed upon by one who arbitrarily takes away all our rights. At the same time I believe that the common courtesies of a character similar to those which we would exercise in meeting a pedestrian in the halls of a building would save 99% of all automobile accidents. * * * * * Next week schedules will begin to assume some semblance of order and regularity. That will be the time for all of us to begin the routine of our regular duties. Absences from classes are inexcusable except in case of illness. One Year Ago In Auburn (From the files of The Plainsman) September 13, 1929. That H. H. "Duck" Hillman was appointed Cadet Colonel of the R. O. T. C. unit was the subject of the main story of the issue. The other appointments made by the Military Department authorities were announced at the same time. There were many surprises and disappointments. * * * * * B. L. Shi, J. K. Smith, and Robert San-sing were appointed chairmen of the Coordination, Finance, and Elections Committees of the Executive Cabinet. * * * * * The contracts were yet for the new Dairy and Animal Husbandry buildings. They are a part of the expansion program embodying the erection of nine buildings to cost $1,325,000. * * * * * Prof. A. St.C. Dunstan startled the world by finding radium lost in a Tuscaloosa hospital. This brought the total value of lost radium found by Professor Dunstan to $50,000. * * * * * The Freshman Rules were published. Woe to the rat who might break them! * * * * * The Rats were entertained at a reception given them by the Y. M. C. A. Free Ice Cream!!! They rushed the main gate afterwards. Whoopee!! * * * * * The Sports editor expressed the opinion that "Auburn is on the road back, boys, and we don't mean maybe. I have never seen a finer spirit than prevails among our football candidates this year. Of course, we are not expecting to startle the universe with any sensational, unexpected victories. But by next season I expect to see the tree bear fruit. In 1930 I believe that Auburn will be qnocking at the door of the first division conference teams and demanding admittance." -:- AUBURN FOOTPRINTS The freshmen seem to have started off with a bang this year.lt is said that several banks have been heard about the campus already. If the rat who went to town to buy a convocation note-book is a fair example of the class we should look forward to a banner year. * * * * * * * * * Before any rats of this year's class attempt to paint their numerals on the water tank, it may be advisable to get a member of the class of '33 to read them the minutes of a certain meeting held on Drake Field last year. * * * * * * * * * THE LAGGARD Oh classes, profs, and outside work, You fill his heart with sorrow. You tax his brain, and give him pain, So hide until tomorrow. He'll pen a line to his best gal And "bull" about the game; He'll read a book and smoke a "cig," Each night 'twill be the same. And on he'll go throughout the school, So sad the woeful tale; That he will carry home to dad, For he will surely fail. ' § He'll fail in school, and too in life ' For frolic he must pay. So beat the game, the moral's clear— Do tomorrow's work today. —Hie Hie, '31 * * * * * * * * * One freshman, however, did shown signs of real serious thought when he made out a check to "C. A. Joler" for the forthcoming issues of that publication. * * * * * * * * * -^ As a gentle reminder to the Cooing Campus Couples let it be said that winter will soon be here and with it, a scarcity of foliage in Ag Bottom. A word to the wise is sufficient. * * * * * * * * * Little Willie hung his sister, She was dead before they missed her. Willie's always up to tricks. ' - Isn't he cute, he's only six. * * * * * * * * * Although the fraterities are through pledging, the rats are still getting plenty of attention. This latest attention isn't welcomed sojieartily by the Frosh. * * * * * * * * * With the increased influx of Coo-eds the Montgomery highway's Saturday-evening- post will be as deserted as a negro church when the plate is passed. * * * * * * * * * _ \ It might be advisable for the owners of some of the freakish looking cars we see around town to have a large tent where they can park their chariots at night and charge admission for a close inspection. * * * * * * * * * Jimmy Cochran, well-known business manager of the Auburn Engineer, can't keep away from Columbus. He claims that he goes there on business, but he won't confide to us the nature of his business trips. Something personal? * * * * * * * * * A miniature night-shirt parade was staged last night in the boys' dormitory.

BOOK REVIEW yj BYRON BY ANDRE MAUROIS. Translated from the French by Hamish Miles. D. Appleton And Company. 1930. Review by Henry W. Adams. - I shall give only a brief review of Mau-rois' latest biography, that of Lord Byron, proposing it with a short account of Mau-rois' development as a biographer. For some years now we have been hearing it said that biography is fast becoming the popular literary form in English writing. Now it is safe to say biography has become the popular literary form. Since the seventeenth century, biography has been esteemed highly by the select few. And of course it had to maintain a standard that would merit the esteem of these few exceptionally intelligent readers. But now, I repeat, it has become the POPULAR literary form. It is almost impossible, furthermore, to select a dozen best sellers of the last year without including several biographies. But the literary qualities that win popularity remain constant and cheap. The principles that guarantee the popularity of a novel are the same that guarantee that of a "modern" biography. Lytton Strachey achieved a great success, and in this case a well-deserved succes, with "Em inent Victorians" and "Queen Victoria"; and biography became a fad. The great flood of biographies, many of them imitations of Strachey, have only the usual merit of a fad. Strachey began with the short biographical -sketch, after ihe manner of the American biography, Gamaliel Bradford, and evolved a method of his own for longer studies. Andre Maurois, beginning as a neophyte of Strachey, has gone through a development that has both freed him from the change of being merely a disciple of Strachey and established him a significant figure. And in doing this he has raised te level of popular taste along with his own standard of workmanship. Beginning with "Ariel: A Life of Shelly," which M. Maurois himself no longer likes, but calls his "Shelly Romance," he produces an entertaining story in the manner of a good novel, with emphasis upon structure and narrative style, beautiful but rooted in shallow soil, like a pot plant. The fictional use of the water motif illustrates his artificial handling of his subject. In "Disraeli" Maurois takes Froude's brief biography, "The Earl of Beacons-field," and tills a second flower which is so like Froude's that it must have escaped severe criticism only because so many reviewers were unfamiliar with Froude's work. Froude, a worthy predecessor of Strachey and Maurois, is really the originator of "modern" biography. Even his style is more "modern" than Victorian. Froude's biography needed little polishing for the most part and Maurois' novelistic technique supplied a new ending which turned the trick for Maurois very neatly. Since very few readers had more than heard Froud's name, Maurois received his own and Froude's dues too. But for all the debt to Froude, Maurois again proved himself a skillful craftsman. A light touch and a graceful finish took the place of the more tedious toil of scholarly research. In the two-volume French edition of "Byron" Maurois tacitly recognizes the validity of what I have said by listing his works previous to "Byron" under the heading,, "Period of Apprenticeship." "Byron," then, in M. Maurois' own opinion, is the first work of his maturity. And in "Byron" he first proves that his own estimate is not an idle claim but a modest statement about himself. In it the light touch and graceful finish are still there. The novelistic technique is still in evidence. But they are subordinated as they must be in every genuine "biography, to laborious scholarly research and scholarly judgment. At last M. Maurois has succeeded in giving greater significance to the substance of his subject than to the veneer with which he has clothed it. Byron becomes not a painted figure like Shelly or Disraeli, but a living human being caught in the toils of a conventionalism soon to attain a frightful supremacy in the Victorian Age. CHAFF By Dick Donovan 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. * * * * * This is the introduction to "Chaff". After you have read several columns you will fully realize it contains nothing but chaff. * * * * * Oh yes, the freshhmen have come; I saw one and he looked nice with shoes and socks on. I wanted to tell him how out-of-place he looked with those things on his feet here at Auburn. I just decided that he would learn, just like the rest of us. His shirt was clean, too; you know he ought to know better than that. If they are not all too large we may be able to teach them a few things. Just how they are doesn't matter, its where they are when we need them. , * * * * * It was only last night that I was awakened from my sleep. ' It was long about morning and my best dream of the season had been interrupted. After I turned on my light to see what had awakened me, I saw a monster-like creature just sitting on my bed. Instantly I seized the monster about the neck. It was a terrible fight— just he and I alone—no one to stop us. What was I going to do? Once he had my leg in his mouth and I knew if I ever got it out it would not be worth two cents. But I'll tell you one thing, it takes more than one mosquito to lick me. * * * * * I heard a fellow say the other day that he had one of the best jobs anywhere around here. On being asked what he did, he said, "I stand on the outside of the bank; there's money in it." * * * * * When I first came to Auburn this year I felt as if there must have been some hot weather here before I came by the looks of so many new coats of paint strown around. Even some of the stores nsed it to cover the fronts of their buildings. * * * * * The management of the Theatre buys too much stock now adays. It's a wonder he doesn't give the college his gold mine. But of course I understand there will be some good pictures this coming season, and so I refrain from saying anything further on the subject. Most anyone will notice the hospitable greeting that old men and new men alike receive at the post office. You know they are >so terribly nice I feel like any one should go to them to buy stamps and more of them. * * * * * I understand that those who flunk Ag. try to get in general business. The heads of the Business Administration department are on their toes, however, for they firbid Ag students admission unless there is a good reason. There is always a reason though. * * * * * What will these co-eds do next? Don't they always get into enough trouble wearing hose. I hope no harm will come to the new ones. Bless their hearts, they don't know yet. . THE PATRIOT It was roses, roses, all the way, With myrtle mixed in my path like The house-roofs seem to heave ad sway, The church-spirts flamed, such flags they had, A year ago on this very day. The air broke into a mist with bells, The old wayys rocked with the crowd and cries. Had I said, "Good folk, mere noise repels— But give me your sun from yonder skies!" They had answered, "And afterward, what else?" Alack, it was I who leaped at the sun To give it my loving friend to keep! Naught man could do, have I left undone; And you see my harvest, what I reap This very day, now a year is run. There's nobody on the housetops now— Just a palsied few at the windows set; For the best of the sight, all allow, At the Shamble's Gate—or, better yet, By the scafford's foot, I trow. I go in the rain, and, more than needs, A rope cuts both my wrists behind; And I think, by the feel, my forehead bleeds, For they fling, whoever has a mind, Stones at me for my year's misdeeds. Thus I entered, and thus I go! In triumphs, people hav edropped down dead. v "Paid by the world, what dost thou owe • Me?"—God might question; now instead, 'Tis God shall repay; I as safer so. —Robert Browning.

Burton's Bookstore New and Secondhand Books Supplies and Novelties DRAWING INSTRUMENTS Dr. Robertson Resigns State Laboratory Post Dr. H. M. Robertson, of the class of '14, chief of the division of agricultural chemistry of the State Department of Agriculture and Industries for the past seven years, has resigned his position effective early this year. Dr. Robertson will be succeeded by Dr. George H. Marsh, '08, his associate in charge of the branch laboratory in Montgomery. Dr. Robertson resigned to enter business in Alexandria, La., and stated that he and Mrs. Robertson would miss the associations formed in the Capital City and the state at large. The resignation was accepted by Seth P. Storrs, state commissioner of agriculture and industries, with regret. "We regard Dr. Robertson as one of the most able and efficient men in the department," Mr. Storrs said, "and we regret that the press of business matters will take him from us. We have confidence in the ability of Dr. Marsh who is familiar with all phases of the work and will carry out the policies Dr. Robertson has put into effect." Dr. Robertson is a graduate of Auburn in chemistry with the class of 1914. Subsequently he spent two years in the commercial laboratory of the Tennessee Food and Drug Department, served two years in the army, entering as a private and merging as nutrition officer with a lieutenant's commission. He returned to the Tennessee Food and Drug Department and after three years became commissioner of foods and drugs in Tennessee. In the jreafs 1921-23 he was engaged in the fertilizer business and plant control work in Chicago and St. Louis. He came to Alabama in April, 1923, and with Dr. Marsh has served under three commissioners of agriculture. His duties as chief of the division were to supervise the manufacture and sale of foods, drugs, feeds, grains, fertilizers, insecticides, and paints. Dr. Marsh came to Montgomery in 1925. He too, is a graduate of Auburn, receiving the M.S. degree, and has done graduate work at Columbia University and the University of California. He formerly was connected with Swift and Company in the phosphate field in Florida, and was promoted to assistant superintendent of the operations in Florida. After four years with Swift and Company, Dr. Marsh returned to Auburn to accept the position of assistant state chemist and professor of organic chemistry, a position he held until 1925 when he came to Montgomery to take charge of the branch laboratory work. Dr. Marsh is a native of Bullock County. cut flowers and dalias. Mr. Garrett, superintendent of the Sunday School, presided and welcomed all visitors and new members.

Regardless of the ability of the first-string line plunger, very few teams win many games unless they have a fullback sitting on the bench who can step in without any notice and not' weaken the team. • If Tom Brown, sensational sophomore, continues to set the pace that he has started since practice began Labor Day, he will be located at this important post when the Tigers pry the lid off of their 1930 schedule against Birmingham-Southern, Friday night, September 26, in Montgomery. The former all-state luminary from Montgomery is light for the berth when you compare him with players on other teams who back up the line, but Brown makes up for his lack in weight by his aggressiveness and deadly and hard tackling. Brown is one of the best bets graduating from the 1929 frosh team, and has a record of always winning a regular position on any football eleven that he has ever aspired to play on. Since the other candidates for full- Alexander Answers Carnegie Bulletin Atlanta, Ga.—Carnegie Foundation's famous "Bulletin No. 23" which last year caused a furore by making a virtually blanket attack upon amateur sports in American educational institutions, has been answered by 436 football players from every section of the United States. An equally blanket denial of the charges is the combined result of their replies to a questionnaire published in the current issue of "The Athletic Journal," under the signature of W. A. Alexander, head coach, of Georgia Tech's Golden Tornado, and president of the National Coaches association. Cooperation of coaches in 20 institutions was solicited in getting the replies. Military, denominational, technical, classical, preparatory and high school football squads were polled in the questionnaire, which was prepared by W. E. Finches, line coach of Georgia Tech. The document contained 26 pointed questions ranging from problems of health to the ethics of coaches .who may curse men into raving mad-men." "In summing up our study," Alexander said, "I think we can reach the following conclusion in answer to the charges made in the foundation's report." (Each conclusion, as given, represented a position diametrically opposed to a similar number of conclusions in the famous bulletin.) Alexander's conclusions: "1.—Athletic injuries are not frequent and more serious than is to be expected in a body contact game. "2.—The majority of coaches do not overwork their players in drills and games. "3.—A large percentage of the boys training for a major team testify that they have sufficient time for study. "4.—The majority of football players are so wrought up over coming games or those that they have just finished that they are upset mentally. "5.—The testimony is overwhelmingly to the effect that any father could listen to the professional coaching and not be worried as to the cultural value of the process. "6.—The play instinct in football is not destroyed by the hard work or the strict drills. »7.—The majority of undergraduates testify that they prefer the coach who is friendly rather than one who makes his victory certain by cursing them into raving madness. "8.—Side line coaching is the uncommon thing in football." back are new at this position, the trouble for the Plainsman coaches now begins. Ralph Jordan performed at center on the 1928 first-year team and was an understudy to the brilliant Capt. Dunham Harkins at the pivot post last year. This is his first try for a berth in the backfield. Richard Wible, halfback last season, who weighs only 163, is the other candidate for full. Neither Jordan or Wible have had much varsity experience, so this leaves Coach Wynne without an experienced fullback on his roster. Howard Chappelle, the lone veteran returning for this position has been shifted to end, where he has seen some service before. The candidates for the other positions in the ball carrying department migh be shifted to fullback if the task of finding a suitable substitute for Brown remains as hard as it is now.

Maryland at Baltimore Large Freshman Squad Reports to New Frosh Coach Eighty three freshmen have reported to coaches Jack Cannon and Weems Baskin to try for berths on the 1930 frosh football team. As registration is only five days old, many others are expected to report within the next three or four days. The 1930 frosh squad which is probably the largest to report to an Auburn Coach promises to show well for itself as it is made up chiefly of men who starred at high and prep schools. Many of the huskies to report tip the scales well over the two hundred mark. Coach Jack Cannon who was AI1- American guard at Notre Dame, assisted by Weems Baskin, who was graduated and coached at Auburn for many years will teach the aspirants for the baby Tigers team the Knute Rockne system as taught at Notre Dame. The 1930 schedule promises to be a tough one as it calls for games with five of the strongest schools in the conference. The schedule is as follows: October 4—B'ham-Southern, in Auburn. (Morning Game) October 11—Florida, in Auburn. October 25—Georgia, in Columbus or Auburn. November 1—Georgia Tech, in Atlanta. November 8—Tulane, in New Orleans. Joe Andrews Dropped From Team; Fails to Make Pass in Studies L. S. U. vs. Dakota Wake Forest, Nov. Wesleyan at Baton Rouge; Clemson vs. Presbyterian at Clemson; North Carolina State vs. High Point at Raleigh; South Carolina vs. Erskine at Columbia, Sept 20; Duke at 22. .Joe Andrews who was expected to be a leading cnadidate for Coach Chet Wynn's initial team at the Cornerstone, reported for practice Wednesday and learned that he had failed to pass the required amount of work to participate in athletics and was declared ineligible for the 1930 football season. Ruling of Andrews—ineligible was quite a blow to the team as he was' being counted on to fill a regular tackle berth again this year. H only a junior and rendered some I ble service to the 1929 eleven. He possesses an ideal build for tackle as he is rangy and tips the scales near the two hundred mark. He probably performed his best last year in the games with Tulane and Georgia Tech. He was rated as one of the best tackles on the field in the Thanksgivig Day battle with Tftch. The loss of Andrews is the first serious blow that has been dealt the Tigers in their attempt to stage a comeback. However, Leo Young, varsity halfback, is in bad with the faculty at present and will be unable to play in the opening game unless he passes a pending examination in psychology. Nineteen players have been cut off the varsity squad as too much work has got to be done this season before the Plaismen will be able to make a good showing in their ten games for the coaches to spend too much time with candidates who failed to show promise. The squad now numbers 42. Before the practice got under way yesterday, Chattie Davidson, Lindley Hatfield and Jimmie Hitchcock arrived on Drake Field early and did some punting. All were getting off some lengthy spirals, but lacked consistency in sticking thir toes into the pigskin on long distances. Don't you hate a man who holds your hand after you've had a shake.

Working on the road gang is not as tough as it seems. The sheriff's office, of Little Rock, Arkansas, was notified Wednesday that there was a lot of rioting going on near the road gang. The sheriff and his deputies buckled on their guns and sped away... But it was only a little party among the boys doing the hard work for the Strong, foreman of the gang, and t e county. The sheriff found Frank Strong, foreman of the gang, and the three convicts in an extremely intoxicated condition. Strong was amusing the prisoners by shooting at imaginary creatures. The sheriff took the foreman, his gallon of whiskey, and the three prisoners back to the county jail, as the other boys went back to work, regretting the episode had been so amusing as to make them forget to run away. The "Smiths" have the "Joneses" beat " all hollow" at Alabama College this year, according to names on the registration list. Out of a list of more than 850, the name "Smith" occurs on the student register 14 times, while the name "Jones" appears only nine times. "Johnson" appears nine .time also. Other names appearing with most frequency are "Brown," four times; "Chandler," five; "Cook," six; "Davis," five; "Jackson," five; Martin, "six; "Moore," six, "Robertson" and "Robinson" ten. Lutheran Services to Be Held Sunday Rev. R. W. Hahn, of Tuscaloosa, will hold Lutheran services in the Y. M. C. A. rooms Sunday, September 14. At ten o'clock in the morning, Rev. Hahn will make a talk titled, "The Ansburg Confession." At seven-thirty Sunday night there will be an informal meeting of the Lutheran students, also to be held in the Y. M. C. A. rooms. For high achievement in 4-H Club work and because they have shown splendid qualities of leadership, Jessie Mae Carroll and Roy Lee Lov-vorn, senior students, Polytechnic Institute, are attending the International 4-H Leadership Training School, Springfield, Mass., Sept. 7 to 20. Announcement of this is made by T. A. Sims and Bess Fleming, specialists in 4-H Club work. The trip is awarded each year to one girl and one boy in Alabama who have made excellent records in project and leadership work. Miss Carroll, whose home is in Clayton, will be a senior in home economics this year. Before coming to Auburn she made an excellent record in all types of club work, having completed successful projects in gardening, foods, clothing, home improvement, and home industries. She also won many prizes on her products in competition at community and county fairs. In 1924 she was declared the best all-around club girl in Barbour County and won a trip to the State Short Course at Auburn. "By taking this trip, my whole future was changed," she said, "in that I remained in Auburn for summer school after the short course instead of going to another school as I had planned." Since coming to Auburn Miss Carroll has become a leader in campus activities. Lovvorn lives at Wedowee and is a candidate for the bachelor's degree at Auburn. Before entering college he made an excellent record in club work and at Auburn is rated as one of the outstanding students and cam- P'.< leaders, having been elected to a large number of honor societies during his junior year. The training school at Springfield is financed by Horace A. Moses, philanthropist, who became interested in the training of leaders in 4-H club work through meetings held annually in Springfield by club members and leaders of the eastern states. After she's passed fifteen and until she is eighty a woman defines an "old woman" as somebody five years her senior. x REAL BEAR TALE There have been no indications as yet of an influx of fight managers looking for a good opponent for Car-nera. Gerard Fournier was hunting deer when a bear rushed him and knocked his rifle from his hands. Gerard walloped Mr. Bear on the snout with a terrific left and followed it with a right that sent bruin reeling. Then Gerard got his rifle and bruin was kayoed for keeps.

HOOVER TOO YOUNG Pouliney Bigelow, historian, who has just celebrated his 76th birthday, challenges Herbert Hoover to a mile run, to leap-frog, to tennis, to split a cord of wood, to climb Pike's^ Peak or to swim the Hudson. Judges and senators, he thinks, should at least be 70 years old and Mr. Hoover should retire until he is ripe for hard work, say at 75. Five per cent seems a pitifully small return on your money until you've tried to get ten per cent' and lost your principal. WE MARK n T T / T A n NEWSPAPER .

L SCHLICH NAMED CADET COLONEL OF ARTILLERY REGIMENT GOVERNOR AND MRS. GRAVES SPEAK AT HRST ASSEMBLY Governor Appeals To Beginners At Auburn To Prepare Themselves by Diligence to Duty, Thoroughness in Work, Mastery of Studies, and Practicing of Highest Ideals and Habits LARGE ASSEMBLIES HEAR GOVERNOR: PRESIDENT KNAPP TELLS STUDENTS THIS IS LARGEST RAT CLASS Mrs. Graves Reminds Students That By Attending College They Are More Fortunate than Other High School Graduates, And Urges Them To Acquire Knowledge And Develop Leadership Freshmen were greeted Friday morning by Governor and Mrs. Graves at a special convocation which preceded the regular class work for the new students. In introducing Governor and Mrs. Graves to the new arrivals, President Knapp announced that the class is the largest in the history of Auburn and that it exceeds the total freshmen enrollment for the 1929-30 session. Governor Graves talked on preparedness for life. He made a brilliant appeal to the beginners at Auburn to prepare themselves by diligence to duty, thoroughness in their work, the mastery of their studies, and the practicing of the highest ideals and habits while in college. "Develop yourselves and the be captains of your own salvation," said the governor as a climax of his appeal. Practical idealism was the theme of an impressive talk by Mrs. Graves. She reminded the students that by attending college they are more fortunate than the thousands of high school graduates who have stopped short of college education. She told them that this advantage carries greater responsibilities; and that while acquiring book knowledge in college they should train and develop themselves to be leaders in whatever they become engaged after completing their college careers. Governor and Mrs. Graves delivered two addresses during their brief stay in Auburn. Upperclassmen attended the first convocation while the freshmen attended the second. President Knapp appeared optimistic over the outlook for the year's work now beginning. ite For Glomerata Pictures To Be Set Soon, Is Announced Pictures for the Glomerata will be taken at an early date, it was announced today. The exact time to be made public later. It is the object of the staff to make the prices very small, but at the present date the "name of the photographer has not been announced, Hugh Ellis, editor-in-chief of the Glomerata, expressed the hope that every student at the Alabama Polytechnic Institute would have his picture in the annual this year. Every effort will be made, on the part of the staff, to reduce the prices as low as possible, and each student is expected to cooperate by having his picture taken. The Glomerata is a record of happenings, published each year by and for the students of Auburn. Hugh Ellis, editor-in-chief, is very enthusiastic over the outlook for the coming year, and it is his object to cooperate with Rex Sikes, business manager, in putting out the best Annual that Auburn has known. Pep Meeting And Reception Held For Frosh Friday Rats Taught Veils At Meeting; Coaches and Prominent Students Introduced New Animal Husbandry and Dairy Building MANY FROSH ATTEND Reception Given Frosh By Y. M. C. A. Follows Meeting In Langdon Hall An informal reception for freshmen, sponsored by the Y. M. C. A., was held at Langdon Hall Friday night at seven-thirty. It is estimated that over four hundred formed in front of the building to begin a snake-dance through town. After a march down the main street, the freshmen assembled in the auditorium and heard President Knapp and several prominent upperclassmen speak. The reception was presided over by Eugene Gray, president of the Y. M. C. A., Hugh Ellis, as editor, and Rex Sikes, as business manager of the Glomerata, said a few words in behalf of the 1931 edition. They were followed by Gabie Drey and Charles Davis, editor and business manager of the Plainsman, Howard Gray, president of the Senior class, Bill Myrick, president of the Initerfratemity council and John Christian, president of the Undergraduate Student Association. The coaching staff and the football captain, "Red" Harkins, were also presented at the rally. After the yells, the program was concluded, and the Frosh were served with refreshments furnished by the Y. M. C. A.

Both old and new members of the musical organization will attend the first meeting. Many freshmen have been taken into the band this year, and a good year is being looked for. The names of the new men have not been announced. Permission was secured by the Executive Cabinet of the Associated Undergraduate Students of the Alabama Polytechnic Institute .from Dr. Knapp to hold a script dance September 20, at the gymnasium. This being the first dance of the present college year, the members of the Executive Cabinet expressed the hope that it .would be a general get-to-gether preparatory to the opening dances. And out of town orchestra will be engaged to furnish the music, but as yet the plans have not been completed to the extent that the name can be made public. Sabel Shanks, chairman of the Social Committee, is in charge of all arrangements, and he stated that the Committee was negotiating with several excellent orchestras. President Extends Welcome to Frosh "Education as the Development Of Personality" Is Subject Of Dr. Knapp's Talk Christian Endeavor To Be Held Sunday Students are cordially invited to attend the program of the Christian Endeavor to be given at the Presbyter, ian Church Sunday evening, September 14, from six-thirty to seven-thirty. Music and the glad handshake will be the features of the program. Special numbers will be rendered by Professor and Mrs. Rauber and Prof, and Mrs. Hazel. It is hoped that all of the students who have attended Christian Endeavor while at home will attend the society here. Regular meetings of the organization will be held each Sunday evening from six-thirty to seven-thirty at the Presbyterian church. The fifty-ninth freshman class of the Alabama Polytechnic Institute was welcomed Wednesday morning by Dr. Bradford Knapp in an address on, "Education as the Development of Personality." In this address the importance of education waS stressed by quoting figures to show that even though only four and one-half per cent of the American people have a college education, eighty-five per cent of those listed in Who's Who are college men. Dr. Knapp brought out. very forcefully the importance of developing a personality. Along this same line he urged his listeners to strive after those qualities of character that would help live a more enjoyable life as well as a more worthwhile one. Following this address by the president the deans of the college outlined work which their department is to carry out during the year. Wednesday afternoon a tour of the college campus was conducted by the Y. M. C. A. as well as an English placement test given all freshmen preparatory to meeting classes Friday. INTERFRAT COUNCIL TO MEET ON OCT. 6 Meeting To Be Held On First Monday of Next Month: Place Not Named HOPE FOR BANNER YEAR Council To Sponsor Various Inter- Fraternity Activities During School Year New Animal Husbandry Building and Dairy Barn Completed; Now In Use The new Animal Husbandry and Dairy Building, which was completed in July and is the latest addition to the agricultural campus, is now being used. The building, which is a four-story brick structure, is shown in the above picture. The first floor is occupied by the dairying department and contains the creamery, the laboratories for work in dairying, and the refrigeration machinery. This department supplies the college cafeteria and also some of the residents of Auburn with milk, handling both pasteurized and grade A raw milk. The department also expects in the near future to supply ice cream and butter. The creamery is completely sanitary and as up-to-date as the best and most modern machinery can make it. Practically all machinery and equipment has been installed and everything is expected to be in readiness in two weeks, at which time the department will be-open for inspection. The second floor contains the offices of the departments, the class rooms, and the library. On the third floor the animal nutrition department has its rooms and laboratories, while the fourth floor contains ample space for storage. Recently connected with the Animal Husbandry department is Mr. J. G. (Continued on page 6) Work Being Rushed on New Textile Building The new textile building is rapidly being rushed to completion, and according to present plans will be ready for occupancy within thirty days. Equipment has been ordered, and will begin to arrive by September 15. It will fie installed as soon as the building is ready. Insinuation of equipment will be done by students in the School of Textile Engineering with the supervision, and assistance of Prof. E. W, Camp, and representatives from the factories manufacturing equipment. The new building is being built-at a cost of, nearly $164,000, and the retail value of equipment ordered amounts to over $100,000. Professor Camp stated that he hoped to have all equipment installed early this fall. The building will be modern in all of its appointments, and will contain a complete textile mill in miniature, in which students will obtain practical experience in their work. It contains over 40,000 square feet of floor space. The Inter-Fraternity Council will have its -first .meeting -of the year, Monday, October 6. According to Bill Myrick, president of the Council, this is going to be a banner year with much stress being placed on inter-fraternity athletics. At the present time it is the object of the Council to conduct tournaments in tennis, golf, and basketball, and it is possible that other additions will be made to the list during the year. Itvis also the object of the Council to continue its practice of assuming charge of the fraternity houses during the dances. As stated by the president, the real object of the Council is to direct the fraternities on the campus, and to guide their policy in regard to the administration. The Inter-Fraternity Council is composed of two representatives from each fraternity, being elected for one year. The officers for the present term are as follows: Bill Myrick, President; F. W. Ren-neker, Vice-President; and T. G. Ama-son, Secretary-Treasurer. SINDO, MYRICK, BAREFIELD AND HILL ARE CADET MAJORS Appointments and assignments of cadet officers in the R. O. T.

DeMonia May Attend Hi-Y Meet at Bir'ham Thomas DeMonia, senior student in agriculture, will probably represent the Auburn Y. M. C. A. at the annual Hi-Y leaders training conference at Camp Cosby in Birmingham. This branch of the Hi-Y deals with the establishing and maintaining of Hi-Y's in and around Auburn, and each year one student is chosen to represent Auburn. One thousand ninety-one students answered to the roll call at the first formation of the R. O. T. C. unit tihs morning. According to Lieutenant O. Bowman, adjutant, since more registrations are expected, the number is expected to grow and top last year's mark. Of the number enrolled, 881 belong to the Field Artillery unit and 210 to the Engineer unit. This year's enrollment according to classes is compared with last year's figures. The present figures are approximations and to date only, while those of last year were taken at the end of September. The numbers are as follows this year: Field Artillery: seniors, 64; juniors, 135; sophomores 252; freshmen, 450; Engineers: seniors, 32; juniors, 30; sophomores, 70; freshmen, 77. Total, 1091.

Ca- (Continued on page 6) Gas Company Officials Announce That Service Will Begin Oct. 15 Natural gas will be burning in Auburn about October 15 according to announcement made today by officials of the Alabama Natural Gas Corporation. The coming of natural gas to Auburn from the giant transmission line of the Southern Natural Gas is expected to be one of the most valuable contributions to Auburn that has taken place in some time. Lines are rapidly being laid along the streets and care is being exercised by the engineering forces to displace as little as possible the permanent paving in this city. Instructions have been given to use alleys and side-streets wherever possible for the gas line in order that as little damage as possible would occur to the permanently improved streets. Offices of the Alabama Natural Gas Corporation and the showroom have been opened in the Hotel Thomas where there will be on display within a few days a complete line of gas appliances designed and built especially for natural gas. With the recent reduction in natural gas rates, which has been announced, and which is expected to be in effect October 1st, it is believed that residents of Auburn may utilize this modern, efficient, and clean fuel liberally in househeating, hot water heating and cooking without incurring an expense (Continued on page 6) Funeral Services For Mrs. C.

C o n g r a t u l a t i o n s , Mr. Otis S p e a r s! The Plainsman congratulates Mr. Otis Spears, who was named to receive the Birmingham News scholarship to Auburn this year. Mr. Spears, of Tisgah, Alabama, was chosen by a committee composed of faculty members from a large field of applicants as the most deserving of the scholarship. The task of choosing was a hard one, and the only regret of the committee was that there were vnot more scholarships. Several of the applicants, undaunted by the failure to secure the coveted scholarship, are in Auburn today, working their way through the institution. Much praise is due these boys who are not going to let anything stop them from getting educations. When the recommendations of the applicants are read, one can readily see why Auburn is indeed fortunate in having Mr. Spears and his unsuccessful friends as students. The school is proud of them. The publishers of the Birmingham News are complimented for making it possible for deserving youths to secure college educations. It is the regret of the Plainsman that other newspapers do not follow the lead of the News. The Freshmen And F r a t e r n i t i es When the average freshman comes to college in the fall he finds, among the many other problems that loom up in front of him as the mole hills do to the ant, that he is confronted with the proposition of joining a social fraternity. There are twenty-five such organizations on-'this campus with an average membership of about thirty so it can be seen that about half the men at Auburn are fraternity men. Assuming that a man is financially able to belong to one of these societies and that he will receive a bid to one, there are many things that he should carefully consider before he allows himself to be pledged. The most important, and the one that should be placed above all other considerations, is for him to be sure that he can fit in with the crowd of boys who comprise the present active chapter. He should remember that he will, in all probability, live with most of these men for the next four years, eat at the same table with them, and in most cases take them into his home. He should not be satisfied with only thinking that he can get along with them all right. This is merely toleration and is in direct opposition to the very spirit of these organizations. He should be sure that he can not only get along with them but can even be proud of introducing every member to his parents as a fraterity brother. It is far better to never join a fraternity than it is to join one where all the boys ideas seem to clash with those of the freshman. Freshmen should remember that to make a mistake in joining a fraternity is to make a mistake that will take its toll during his entire college career. Remember this, in some ways a fraternity brother is much better than a real blood brother for you can choose your fraternity brothers. Be sure, and exercise this privilege wisely. A r e T e x t b o o k s C h a n g ed Too O f t e n? The repeated change of textbooks brings to one's mind the question of whether or not the additional expenses are too burdensome on students. Many new books must be bought each year, which, if they were better standardized, could be bought second hand, at a saving to the users. In certain subjects which are given to broaden the minds of individuals, the textbooks used are of no aesthetic value to the student after the subject has been studied and the purpose and substance__absorbed. But, the book may be changed, and the student is left holding something which is of no practical value to him. A change of textbooks is evidence of a change of the methods and standards of teaching. It is true that the methods of teaching are changing—being improved upon. Yet, are they changing fast enough to justify the changing of a textbook every year or two? Of course, some texts are better than others and it is only reasonable to expect that some alterations and necessary. Judicious efforts should be made to determine which are the best books. The intention of this editorial is not to criticise, but to seek a satisfactory answer to a question that is prevalent on the campus at this time. The efforts of the faculty members to advance the modern methods are appreciated. Much money is tied up in useless books. Some students may have as much as fifty dollars spent on texts which cannot be sold. Does this not work a hardship on both students and parents? A news-item tells us about a sailor who went into a New Orleans speakeasy operated on Piggly Wiggly ^tyle. As he was helping himself, police broke in and arrested him for operating the place. It seems as though he crossed the bar once too often. Rhapsodical Revelations By Vasili Leoniduitch ALL SUMMER I have listened to the disgruntled mutterings of farmers because of the drought. The papers have been full of proposed remedies, and even our arid President has appointed committees to vie with the elements. Then with my return to school come deluges that would call Noah to action. Lest someone fear that I have included Mother in my criticisms; I wish to explain that the subtle moral is to stay away from "Ag Bottom". There is no denying that rain has its relaxing qualities. Yet it is the opinion of one of the freshmen, that the poet who murmured "It isn't raining for me" could never have journeyed from the Library to one of the fraternities in the stranded depression, without emerging from the slough to employ his poetical license in damning every mud hole. That, I am afraid, would tax a sailor's vocabulary. The prevailing book situation seems to be another one for Darwin and Chick Sale. The naturalist chould find abundance of material for a treatise on "The Evolution of Auburn Text Books," and the humorist might find a practical use for the collection of books that are discarded every -year because of experimental changes. Possibly many fond fathers have begun to wonder what is considered the paragon of authen-icated information in Auburn. It seems most fitting to comment on the new co-eds. Even in my brief career I note phenominal changes, and it is altogether possible that if this improvement continues that our scions will spend their week ends in Auburn. Even the "Zoo" may become domesticated. Rudy Valee is introducing a new song for the University of Alabama corresponding with the Main "Stein Song", that has swept the country like the stein's contents. I trust that Auburn men do not need syncopated chasers yet. The new professor who rolls his own cigarettes should serve as a lesson in economy. I also understand Einstein failed in Math—who knows but that they may be human? In another valiant effort to finish my column allow me to say that I am daring to hope that my relations with the contemporary columnist, who makes his initial bow in "Sidewalks of Auburn" in this issue, will be more amicable that that of Aaron Billowheel and Tom Bigbee. May we strive together to win the universal damnation of the campus. The rain continues, my mind wanders to the thrills of recent summer romances; but all vanish before the harding reality of classes, lectures, and the infernal necessity of getting up laundry. Finis. Prexy's Paragraphs By Bradford Knapp Settling down to work is a difficult thing. We are trying our best to see everybody, talk over everybody's plans and help get students settled and in shape for the year's work. Don't get discouraged and go away. Come and see us and we will all endeavor to work it out together. The first week is the hardest one in many ways. Your task is to adjust yourself to the routine of the work. Make the adjustment as soon as you can and apply yourself to the job. * * * * * Just a word to those students who have place to work and who are endeavoring to earn a part of their way through college. There are hundreds of worthy fellows and dozens of girls just waiting for a job. They have not been as fortunate as yau have been in finding something to do. Under such circumstances I want to impress it upon you that your best way to hold that job is to deliver a full measure of work. Do the task as well as you can do it. Try to merit the confidence of those for whom you are workign because that is the best way to hold on to your job. If you fall down on the job through carelessness or indifference, you must not complain if your employer tries another student. Even further that that I want to say that the best way to encourage the people of this town to employ students is for students to do a good piece of work. * * * * * ; There are so many automobiles in Auburn and such a great increase in the number of people who are driving up and down the streets and also walking on the streets that a word of caution regarding courtesy and consideration on the part of both drivers and' pedestrians is surely not out of place. It is true this is a small town with no "speed-cops" it it. Automobile accidents are always the result of violation in some measure of traffic regulations or inattention on the part of the driver to dictates of common courtesy and caution. More than twenty years ago when I passed an examination for a driver's lecense in a certain eastern state the Police Commissioner asked me who had the right-of-way at crossings and I told him that generally it was the other fellow. He laughed and said that was a pretty good answer. None of us like to be imposed upon by one who arbitrarily takes away all our rights. At the same time I believe that the common courtesies of a character similar to those which we would exercise in meeting a pedestrian in the halls of a building would save 99% of all automobile accidents. * * * * * Next week schedules will begin to assume some semblance of order and regularity. That will be the time for all of us to begin the routine of our regular duties. Absences from classes are inexcusable except in case of illness. One Year Ago In Auburn (From the files of The Plainsman) September 13, 1929. That H. H. "Duck" Hillman was appointed Cadet Colonel of the R. O. T. C. unit was the subject of the main story of the issue. The other appointments made by the Military Department authorities were announced at the same time. There were many surprises and disappointments. * * * * * B. L. Shi, J. K. Smith, and Robert San-sing were appointed chairmen of the Coordination, Finance, and Elections Committees of the Executive Cabinet. * * * * * The contracts were yet for the new Dairy and Animal Husbandry buildings. They are a part of the expansion program embodying the erection of nine buildings to cost $1,325,000. * * * * * Prof. A. St.C. Dunstan startled the world by finding radium lost in a Tuscaloosa hospital. This brought the total value of lost radium found by Professor Dunstan to $50,000. * * * * * The Freshman Rules were published. Woe to the rat who might break them! * * * * * The Rats were entertained at a reception given them by the Y. M. C. A. Free Ice Cream!!! They rushed the main gate afterwards. Whoopee!! * * * * * The Sports editor expressed the opinion that "Auburn is on the road back, boys, and we don't mean maybe. I have never seen a finer spirit than prevails among our football candidates this year. Of course, we are not expecting to startle the universe with any sensational, unexpected victories. But by next season I expect to see the tree bear fruit. In 1930 I believe that Auburn will be qnocking at the door of the first division conference teams and demanding admittance." -:- AUBURN FOOTPRINTS The freshmen seem to have started off with a bang this year.lt is said that several banks have been heard about the campus already. If the rat who went to town to buy a convocation note-book is a fair example of the class we should look forward to a banner year. * * * * * * * * * Before any rats of this year's class attempt to paint their numerals on the water tank, it may be advisable to get a member of the class of '33 to read them the minutes of a certain meeting held on Drake Field last year. * * * * * * * * * THE LAGGARD Oh classes, profs, and outside work, You fill his heart with sorrow. You tax his brain, and give him pain, So hide until tomorrow. He'll pen a line to his best gal And "bull" about the game; He'll read a book and smoke a "cig," Each night 'twill be the same. And on he'll go throughout the school, So sad the woeful tale; That he will carry home to dad, For he will surely fail. ' § He'll fail in school, and too in life ' For frolic he must pay. So beat the game, the moral's clear— Do tomorrow's work today. —Hie Hie, '31 * * * * * * * * * One freshman, however, did shown signs of real serious thought when he made out a check to "C. A. Joler" for the forthcoming issues of that publication. * * * * * * * * * -^ As a gentle reminder to the Cooing Campus Couples let it be said that winter will soon be here and with it, a scarcity of foliage in Ag Bottom. A word to the wise is sufficient. * * * * * * * * * Little Willie hung his sister, She was dead before they missed her. Willie's always up to tricks. ' - Isn't he cute, he's only six. * * * * * * * * * Although the fraterities are through pledging, the rats are still getting plenty of attention. This latest attention isn't welcomed sojieartily by the Frosh. * * * * * * * * * With the increased influx of Coo-eds the Montgomery highway's Saturday-evening- post will be as deserted as a negro church when the plate is passed. * * * * * * * * * _ \ It might be advisable for the owners of some of the freakish looking cars we see around town to have a large tent where they can park their chariots at night and charge admission for a close inspection. * * * * * * * * * Jimmy Cochran, well-known business manager of the Auburn Engineer, can't keep away from Columbus. He claims that he goes there on business, but he won't confide to us the nature of his business trips.

BOOK REVIEW yj BYRON BY ANDRE MAUROIS. Translated from the French by Hamish Miles. D. Appleton And Company. 1930. Review by Henry W. Adams. - I shall give only a brief review of Mau-rois' latest biography, that of Lord Byron, proposing it with a short account of Mau-rois' development as a biographer. For some years now we have been hearing it said that biography is fast becoming the popular literary form in English writing. Now it is safe to say biography has become the popular literary form. Since the seventeenth century, biography has been esteemed highly by the select few. And of course it had to maintain a standard that would merit the esteem of these few exceptionally intelligent readers. But now, I repeat, it has become the POPULAR literary form. It is almost impossible, furthermore, to select a dozen best sellers of the last year without including several biographies. But the literary qualities that win popularity remain constant and cheap. The principles that guarantee the popularity of a novel are the same that guarantee that of a "modern" biography. Lytton Strachey achieved a great success, and in this case a well-deserved succes, with "Em inent Victorians" and "Queen Victoria"; and biography became a fad. The great flood of biographies, many of them imitations of Strachey, have only the usual merit of a fad. Strachey began with the short biographical -sketch, after ihe manner of the American biography, Gamaliel Bradford, and evolved a method of his own for longer studies. Andre Maurois, beginning as a neophyte of Strachey, has gone through a development that has both freed him from the change of being merely a disciple of Strachey and established him a significant figure. And in doing this he has raised te level of popular taste along with his own standard of workmanship. Beginning with "Ariel: A Life of Shelly," which M. Maurois himself no longer likes, but calls his "Shelly Romance," he produces an entertaining story in the manner of a good novel, with emphasis upon structure and narrative style, beautiful but rooted in shallow soil, like a pot plant. The fictional use of the water motif illustrates his artificial handling of his subject. In "Disraeli" Maurois takes Froude's brief biography, "The Earl of Beacons-field," and tills a second flower which is so like Froude's that it must have escaped severe criticism only because so many reviewers were unfamiliar with Froude's work. Froude, a worthy predecessor of Strachey and Maurois, is really the originator of "modern" biography. Even his style is more "modern" than Victorian. Froude's biography needed little polishing for the most part and Maurois' novelistic technique supplied a new ending which turned the trick for Maurois very neatly. Since very few readers had more than heard Froud's name, Maurois received his own and Froude's dues too. But for all the debt to Froude, Maurois again proved himself a skillful craftsman. A light touch and a graceful finish took the place of the more tedious toil of scholarly research. In the two-volume French edition of "Byron" Maurois tacitly recognizes the validity of what I have said by listing his works previous to "Byron" under the heading,, "Period of Apprenticeship." "Byron," then, in M. Maurois' own opinion, is the first work of his maturity. And in "Byron" he first proves that his own estimate is not an idle claim but a modest statement about himself. In it the light touch and graceful finish are still there. The novelistic technique is still in evidence. But they are subordinated as they must be in every genuine "biography, to laborious scholarly research and scholarly judgment. At last M. Maurois has succeeded in giving greater significance to the substance of his subject than to the veneer with which he has clothed it. Byron becomes not a painted figure like Shelly or Disraeli, but a living human being caught in the toils of a conventionalism soon to attain a frightful supremacy in the Victorian Age. CHAFF By Dick Donovan 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. * * * * * This is the introduction to "Chaff". After you have read several columns you will fully realize it contains nothing but chaff. * * * * * Oh yes, the freshhmen have come; I saw one and he looked nice with shoes and socks on. I wanted to tell him how out-of-place he looked with those things on his feet here at Auburn. I just decided that he would learn, just like the rest of us. His shirt was clean, too; you know he ought to know better than that. If they are not all too large we may be able to teach them a few things. Just how they are doesn't matter, its where they are when we need them. , * * * * * It was only last night that I was awakened from my sleep. ' It was long about morning and my best dream of the season had been interrupted. After I turned on my light to see what had awakened me, I saw a monster-like creature just sitting on my bed. Instantly I seized the monster about the neck. It was a terrible fight— just he and I alone—no one to stop us. What was I going to do? Once he had my leg in his mouth and I knew if I ever got it out it would not be worth two cents. But I'll tell you one thing, it takes more than one mosquito to lick me. * * * * * I heard a fellow say the other day that he had one of the best jobs anywhere around here. On being asked what he did, he said, "I stand on the outside of the bank; there's money in it." * * * * * When I first came to Auburn this year I felt as if there must have been some hot weather here before I came by the looks of so many new coats of paint strown around. Even some of the stores nsed it to cover the fronts of their buildings. * * * * * The management of the Theatre buys too much stock now adays. It's a wonder he doesn't give the college his gold mine. But of course I understand there will be some good pictures this coming season, and so I refrain from saying anything further on the subject. Most anyone will notice the hospitable greeting that old men and new men alike receive at the post office. You know they are >so terribly nice I feel like any one should go to them to buy stamps and more of them. * * * * * I understand that those who flunk Ag. try to get in general business. The heads of the Business Administration department are on their toes, however, for they firbid Ag students admission unless there is a good reason. There is always a reason though. * * * * * What will these co-eds do next? Don't they always get into enough trouble wearing hose. I hope no harm will come to the new ones. Bless their hearts, they don't know yet. . THE PATRIOT It was roses, roses, all the way, With myrtle mixed in my path like The house-roofs seem to heave ad sway, The church-spirts flamed, such flags they had, A year ago on this very day. The air broke into a mist with bells, The old wayys rocked with the crowd and cries. Had I said, "Good folk, mere noise repels— But give me your sun from yonder skies!" They had answered, "And afterward, what else?" Alack, it was I who leaped at the sun To give it my loving friend to keep! Naught man could do, have I left undone; And you see my harvest, what I reap This very day, now a year is run. There's nobody on the housetops now— Just a palsied few at the windows set; For the best of the sight, all allow, At the Shamble's Gate—or, better yet, By the scafford's foot, I trow. I go in the rain, and, more than needs, A rope cuts both my wrists behind; And I think, by the feel, my forehead bleeds, For they fling, whoever has a mind, Stones at me for my year's misdeeds. Thus I entered, and thus I go! In triumphs, people hav edropped down dead. v "Paid by the world, what dost thou owe • Me?"—God might question; now instead, 'Tis God shall repay; I as safer so. —Robert Browning. NO LACK OF EMPLOYMENT Troupes of performing pygmies, out of work for the summer, ought easily to get jobs as caddies on miniature golf courses. / SATURDAY, SEPTEMBER 13, 1930 THE PLAINSMAN PAGE THREE INEZ SHEPPARD Editor Phone 251-J S O C I E T Y AND FEATURES This Department Open From 11 A.

Burton's Bookstore New and Secondhand Books Supplies and Novelties DRAWING INSTRUMENTS Dr. Robertson Resigns State Laboratory Post Dr. H. M. Robertson, of the class of '14, chief of the division of agricultural chemistry of the State Department of Agriculture and Industries for the past seven years, has resigned his position effective early this year. Dr. Robertson will be succeeded by Dr. George H. Marsh, '08, his associate in charge of the branch laboratory in Montgomery. Dr. Robertson resigned to enter business in Alexandria, La., and stated that he and Mrs. Robertson would miss the associations formed in the Capital City and the state at large. The resignation was accepted by Seth P. Storrs, state commissioner of agriculture and industries, with regret. "We regard Dr. Robertson as one of the most able and efficient men in the department," Mr. Storrs said, "and we regret that the press of business matters will take him from us. We have confidence in the ability of Dr. Marsh who is familiar with all phases of the work and will carry out the policies Dr. Robertson has put into effect." Dr. Robertson is a graduate of Auburn in chemistry with the class of 1914. Subsequently he spent two years in the commercial laboratory of the Tennessee Food and Drug Department, served two years in the army, entering as a private and merging as nutrition officer with a lieutenant's commission. He returned to the Tennessee Food and Drug Department and after three years became commissioner of foods and drugs in Tennessee. In the jreafs 1921-23 he was engaged in the fertilizer business and plant control work in Chicago and St. Louis. He came to Alabama in April, 1923, and with Dr. Marsh has served under three commissioners of agriculture. His duties as chief of the division were to supervise the manufacture and sale of foods, drugs, feeds, grains, fertilizers, insecticides, and paints. Dr. Marsh came to Montgomery in 1925. He too, is a graduate of Auburn, receiving the M.S. degree, and has done graduate work at Columbia University and the University of California. He formerly was connected with Swift and Company in the phosphate field in Florida, and was promoted to assistant superintendent of the operations in Florida. After four years with Swift and Company, Dr. Marsh returned to Auburn to accept the position of assistant state chemist and professor of organic chemistry, a position he held until 1925 when he came to Montgomery to take charge of the branch laboratory work. Dr. Marsh is a native of Bullock County. cut flowers and dalias. Mr. Garrett, superintendent of the Sunday School, presided and welcomed all visitors and new members.

Regardless of the ability of the first-string line plunger, very few teams win many games unless they have a fullback sitting on the bench who can step in without any notice and not' weaken the team. • If Tom Brown, sensational sophomore, continues to set the pace that he has started since practice began Labor Day, he will be located at this important post when the Tigers pry the lid off of their 1930 schedule against Birmingham-Southern, Friday night, September 26, in Montgomery. The former all-state luminary from Montgomery is light for the berth when you compare him with players on other teams who back up the line, but Brown makes up for his lack in weight by his aggressiveness and deadly and hard tackling. Brown is one of the best bets graduating from the 1929 frosh team, and has a record of always winning a regular position on any football eleven that he has ever aspired to play on. Since the other candidates for full- Alexander Answers Carnegie Bulletin Atlanta, Ga.—Carnegie Foundation's famous "Bulletin No. 23" which last year caused a furore by making a virtually blanket attack upon amateur sports in American educational institutions, has been answered by 436 football players from every section of the United States. An equally blanket denial of the charges is the combined result of their replies to a questionnaire published in the current issue of "The Athletic Journal," under the signature of W. A. Alexander, head coach, of Georgia Tech's Golden Tornado, and president of the National Coaches association. Cooperation of coaches in 20 institutions was solicited in getting the replies. Military, denominational, technical, classical, preparatory and high school football squads were polled in the questionnaire, which was prepared by W. E. Finches, line coach of Georgia Tech. The document contained 26 pointed questions ranging from problems of health to the ethics of coaches .who may curse men into raving mad-men." "In summing up our study," Alexander said, "I think we can reach the following conclusion in answer to the charges made in the foundation's report." (Each conclusion, as given, represented a position diametrically opposed to a similar number of conclusions in the famous bulletin.) Alexander's conclusions: "1.—Athletic injuries are not frequent and more serious than is to be expected in a body contact game. "2.—The majority of coaches do not overwork their players in drills and games. "3.—A large percentage of the boys training for a major team testify that they have sufficient time for study. "4.—The majority of football players are so wrought up over coming games or those that they have just finished that they are upset mentally. "5.—The testimony is overwhelmingly to the effect that any father could listen to the professional coaching and not be worried as to the cultural value of the process. "6.—The play instinct in football is not destroyed by the hard work or the strict drills. »7.—The majority of undergraduates testify that they prefer the coach who is friendly rather than one who makes his victory certain by cursing them into raving madness. "8.—Side line coaching is the uncommon thing in football." back are new at this position, the trouble for the Plainsman coaches now begins. Ralph Jordan performed at center on the 1928 first-year team and was an understudy to the brilliant Capt. Dunham Harkins at the pivot post last year. This is his first try for a berth in the backfield. Richard Wible, halfback last season, who weighs only 163, is the other candidate for full. Neither Jordan or Wible have had much varsity experience, so this leaves Coach Wynne without an experienced fullback on his roster. Howard Chappelle, the lone veteran returning for this position has been shifted to end, where he has seen some service before. The candidates for the other positions in the ball carrying department migh be shifted to fullback if the task of finding a suitable substitute for Brown remains as hard as it is now.

As registration is only five days old, many others are expected to report within the next three or four days. The 1930 frosh squad which is probably the largest to report to an Auburn Coach promises to show well for itself as it is made up chiefly of men who starred at high and prep schools. Many of the huskies to report tip the scales well over the two hundred mark. Coach Jack Cannon who was AI1- American guard at Notre Dame, assisted by Weems Baskin, who was graduated and coached at Auburn for many years will teach the aspirants for the baby Tigers team the Knute Rockne system as taught at Notre Dame. The 1930 schedule promises to be a tough one as it calls for games with five of the strongest schools in the conference. The schedule is as follows: October 4—B'ham-Southern, in Auburn. (Morning Game) October 11—Florida, in Auburn. October 25—Georgia, in Columbus or Auburn. November 1—Georgia Tech, in Atlanta. November 8—Tulane, in New Orleans. Joe Andrews Dropped From Team; Fails to Make Pass in Studies L. S. U. vs. Dakota Wake Forest, Nov. Wesleyan at Baton Rouge; Clemson vs. Presbyterian at Clemson; North Carolina State vs. High Point at Raleigh; South Carolina vs. Erskine at Columbia, Sept 20; Duke at 22. .Joe Andrews who was expected to be a leading cnadidate for Coach Chet Wynn's initial team at the Cornerstone, reported for practice Wednesday and learned that he had failed to pass the required amount of work to participate in athletics and was declared ineligible for the 1930 football season. Ruling of Andrews—ineligible was quite a blow to the team as he was' being counted on to fill a regular tackle berth again this year. H only a junior and rendered some I ble service to the 1929 eleven. He possesses an ideal build for tackle as he is rangy and tips the scales near the two hundred mark. He probably performed his best last year in the games with Tulane and Georgia Tech. He was rated as one of the best tackles on the field in the Thanksgivig Day battle with Tftch. The loss of Andrews is the first serious blow that has been dealt the Tigers in their attempt to stage a comeback. However, Leo Young, varsity halfback, is in bad with the faculty at present and will be unable to play in the opening game unless he passes a pending examination in psychology. Nineteen players have been cut off the varsity squad as too much work has got to be done this season before the Plaismen will be able to make a good showing in their ten games for the coaches to spend too much time with candidates who failed to show promise. The squad now numbers 42. Before the practice got under way yesterday, Chattie Davidson, Lindley Hatfield and Jimmie Hitchcock arrived on Drake Field early and did some punting. All were getting off some lengthy spirals, but lacked consistency in sticking thir toes into the pigskin on long distances. Don't you hate a man who holds your hand after you've had a shake.

Working on the road gang is not as tough as it seems. The sheriff's office, of Little Rock, Arkansas, was notified Wednesday that there was a lot of rioting going on near the road gang. The sheriff and his deputies buckled on their guns and sped away... But it was only a little party among the boys doing the hard work for the Strong, foreman of the gang, and t e county. The sheriff found Frank Strong, foreman of the gang, and the three convicts in an extremely intoxicated condition. Strong was amusing the prisoners by shooting at imaginary creatures. The sheriff took the foreman, his gallon of whiskey, and the three prisoners back to the county jail, as the other boys went back to work, regretting the episode had been so amusing as to make them forget to run away. The "Smiths" have the "Joneses" beat " all hollow" at Alabama College this year, according to names on the registration list. Out of a list of more than 850, the name "Smith" occurs on the student register 14 times, while the name "Jones" appears only nine times. "Johnson" appears nine .time also. Other names appearing with most frequency are "Brown," four times; "Chandler," five; "Cook," six; "Davis," five; "Jackson," five; Martin, "six; "Moore," six, "Robertson" and "Robinson" ten. Lutheran Services to Be Held Sunday Rev. R. W. Hahn, of Tuscaloosa, will hold Lutheran services in the Y. M. C. A. rooms Sunday, September 14. At ten o'clock in the morning, Rev. Hahn will make a talk titled, "The Ansburg Confession." At seven-thirty Sunday night there will be an informal meeting of the Lutheran students, also to be held in the Y. M. C. A. rooms. For high achievement in 4-H Club work and because they have shown splendid qualities of leadership, Jessie Mae Carroll and Roy Lee Lov-vorn, senior students, Polytechnic Institute, are attending the International 4-H Leadership Training School, Springfield, Mass., Sept. 7 to 20. Announcement of this is made by T. A. Sims and Bess Fleming, specialists in 4-H Club work. The trip is awarded each year to one girl and one boy in Alabama who have made excellent records in project and leadership work. Miss Carroll, whose home is in Clayton, will be a senior in home economics this year. Before coming to Auburn she made an excellent record in all types of club work, having completed successful projects in gardening, foods, clothing, home improvement, and home industries. She also won many prizes on her products in competition at community and county fairs. In 1924 she was declared the best all-around club girl in Barbour County and won a trip to the State Short Course at Auburn. "By taking this trip, my whole future was changed," she said, "in that I remained in Auburn for summer school after the short course instead of going to another school as I had planned." Since coming to Auburn Miss Carroll has become a leader in campus activities. Lovvorn lives at Wedowee and is a candidate for the bachelor's degree at Auburn. Before entering college he made an excellent record in club work and at Auburn is rated as one of the outstanding students and cam- P'.< leaders, having been elected to a large number of honor societies during his junior year. The training school at Springfield is financed by Horace A. Moses, philanthropist, who became interested in the training of leaders in 4-H club work through meetings held annually in Springfield by club members and leaders of the eastern states. After she's passed fifteen and until she is eighty a woman defines an "old woman" as somebody five years her senior. x REAL BEAR TALE There have been no indications as yet of an influx of fight managers looking for a good opponent for Car-nera. Gerard Fournier was hunting deer when a bear rushed him and knocked his rifle from his hands. Gerard walloped Mr. Bear on the snout with a terrific left and followed it with a right that sent bruin reeling. Then Gerard got his rifle and bruin was kayoed for keeps.

HOOVER TOO YOUNG Pouliney Bigelow, historian, who has just celebrated his 76th birthday, challenges Herbert Hoover to a mile run, to leap-frog, to tennis, to split a cord of wood, to climb Pike's^ Peak or to swim the Hudson. Judges and senators, he thinks, should at least be 70 years old and Mr. Hoover should retire until he is ripe for hard work, say at 75. Five per cent seems a pitifully small return on your money until you've tried to get ten per cent' and lost your principal. WE MARK n T T / T A n NEWSPAPER .
