Social Committee Announces Opening Dances To Begin October 10
SOPHOMORE HOP WILL OPEN
WITH TEA DANCE ON FRIDAY
Social Committee Now Busy
Completing All Necessary
Arrangements
FIVE DANCES PLANNED
Freshman Representative To
Committee To Be Picked
This Week
Sabel Shanks, chairman of the So­cial
committee, announced today that
the Opening Dances will be held Oc­tober
the tenth and the eleventh, the
first dance being Friday afternoon,
October the tenth, at four o'clock.
It is the object of the Social Com­mittee
to make this set of dances the
best that Auburn has ever known,
and with this in mind due prepara-
" tions are being made for a grand
start, Friday afternoon with the open­ing
tea dance.
The Sophomore Hop, this year, will
be a series of five dances. The Fri­day
afternoon tea dance is to be fol­lowed
Friday night by a dance to last
from ten until one-thirty. Saturday
morning the dance will be from elev­en
until one, and Saturday afternoon
from four until six. Saturday night,
the last dance of the series, will last
from nine till twelve.
At the Sophomore Hop, only Sopho­mores
will be allowed to take part
in the grand march. The same is
true of the Junior Prom and the Se­nior
Dance, because only the respec­tive
elasses will be allowed to take
part in the marches. This is a new
dance regulation, and the Social Com­mittee
expressed the hope that it
would meet the approval of all stu­dents.
.
The Social Committee is an organi­zation,
composed of ten members, the
purpose of which is to supervise and
arrange all affairs for the three an­nual
college dances. At the present
the committee has only nine members
because the Freshman representative
has not yet been elected. This elec­tion
is to be held next week, the exact
_da$e_ to be made public later. This
. freshman election will give the com­mittee
the correct number of mem-
' bers from each class, that is; one
freshman, two sophomores, three ju­niors,
and four seniors. The present
members of the social committee are
as follows: Sabel Shanks—Chairman,
T. G. Amason—Treasurer, Rex Sikes,
Ernest Bell, J. - D. Bush, Render
Gross, M. T. Culver, and William
Patterson.
The Executive Cabinet will hold its

WORK BEGINS AT ONCE
Howard Upchurch and I. K.
Roth Are President and
Business Manager
Work toward another year for the
Auburn Glee Club is fast getting un­der
way as the tryouts for member­ship
have been completed. Two try­outs
were held, the first Monday night
and the second Tuesday night. At
these periods approximately twenty
new members were taken into the
club, whose membership is restricted
to fifty.
During the first semester the^work
of the Glee Club will "be confined to
practice of standard glee- club num­bers
under the instruction of Mr. J.
W. Brigham, whp is beginning his
second year as Director of Music at
Auburn. Following this, the Glee
Club will make its annual concert
tour, which will probably take it into
the southern part of the state this
year. • In addition to this tour the
Glee Club will furnish incidental num­bers
for college plays and entertain­ments,
and will broadcast concerts
from the radio station WAPI.
The organization of the Glee Club
this year is: Howard Upchurch of
Montgomery, president, and Irwin K.
Roth, of Jacksonville, Fla., business
manager. .
According to Mr. Brigham, the try­outs
for the girls' Glee Club will
probably be held sometime during the
next week. Definite announcements
of these will be made at a later date.

The Auburn Textile Society will
hold regular weekly meetings each
Monday night at seven o'clock begin­ning
Monday, Sept. 22. The society
will meet in the auditorium of Broun
Hall until the new textile building is
completed, when it will begin holding
its meetings there.
The purpose of the society is to
promote a greater interest in the
field of textile engineering and to up
hold the standards set forth by that
school. At these meetings interest­ing
discussions and talks are given by
the student members and frequently
outstanding men in the textile indus­try
are invited to speak to the so­ciety
on subjects relating to the in­dustry.
All students enrolled in tex­tile
engineering are eligible for mem­bership
in the textile society, and
quality points are given for active
service in the organization.

present Monday night, for this will
be the first meeting of the society.
Professor Camp Optimistic Over Outlook
Of Textile Engineering School This Year
Professor E. W. Camp, head of the
School of Textile Engineering, Mon­day
morning voiced optimistic outlook
for the school of Textile Engineering,
which will soon be'housed in the best-equipped,
most modern, textile build­ing
in the south.
Speaking of the function of the
school, Professor Camp said, "Ala­bama
produces large quantities of cot­ton,
which may be made t'o contribute
greatly to our wealth. This can be
done by converting this large quanti­ty
of cotton into finished textile prod­ucts
right here in our own state.
There are over one hundred textile
mills in Alabama. This state, howev­er,
produces enough material and can
readily supply enough labor to main­tain
three times the present number
of mills. It is, therefore," continued
Professor Camp, "the function of the
School of Textile Engineering to sup­ply
the demand for textile engineers
and to help in the realization of the
great possibilities in our state."
In an article in the August issue
of Cotton, assistant Professor Charles
B. Ordway stated that "Auburn has
written itself into the hall of elec­trical
engineering fame with such
well-known alumni as Dr. Miller Reese
Hutchison, and Matthew S. Sloan. It
is well hoped that with a textile school
she will also list herself as being a

Auburn's pistol team last year won
third place in the annual National
Pistol Match in which all schools hav­ing
Field Artillery Units of R. O. T.
C. competed. Bronze medals were
awarded E. H. Miller, G. S. Sanford,
C. E. Howard, F. N. Williams, and
W. H. Cumbee, members of the Au­burn
pistol team, by the Chief of
Field Artillery. These men were al­so
awarded Auburn minor sports let­ters.
Auburn's team won four of the sev­en
matches scheduled, not including
the National Match. The team won
matches fired with the University of
Utah, Cornell, Massachusetts Insti­tute
of Technology, and the Colorado
Aggies. They lost to the University
of Missouri varsity team, the Univer­sity
of Missouri freshman team, and
Purdue.
The teams who placed in the Na­tional
Match last year and their res­pective
scores are: first place, Pur­due,.
1325; second place, University of
Oklahoma, 1317; third place, Alabama
Polytechnic Institute, 1313. The
scores take a big drop at this point,
the Colorado Aggies winning fourth
place with a score of 1250.
It is impossible at the present time
to give this year's schedule for the pis-to
team, but there will be more match­es
fired than last year. Lt. T. S.
Gunby will have charge of pistol team
this year, replacing Lt. G. B. Barth,
who was transferred.
The Alpha Beta chapter of Chi
Omega sorority has provided $50 to be
given to the woman student at the
Alabama Polytechnic Institute who is
selected as the best-all-round girl by
a committee of the faculty. This is
announced by Miss Inez Shepard of
Auburn, senior student and president
of the sorority.
Miss Shepard explained that it is
customary for chapters of Chi Omega
to give a yearly prize to stimulate in­terest
in student activities, scholar­ship,
and worthy achievement in oth­er
phases of college life.
The "best-all-round-girl" will be se­lected
in the spring from a list of
nominations made by the women's or­ganizations
on the campus. Each or­ganization
will nominate one of its
members and also another person who
is not a member of the organization
nominating.
The selection will be made. on the
basis of the student's standing in mor­al
and spiritual life, scholarship, lead­ership,
democracy, loyalty, and co­operation.
Miss Shepard said the sorority will
require that the student selected be
of high moral character and unim­peachable
honor, among the upper
two-fifths of her class in grades, be
recognized as a leader in student life,
be democratic in spirit, be loyal and
patriotic to the school, state, and gov­ernment,
and be a good cooperator
with the faculty and student body.
Under no conditions, she added, will
any student who has used undue in­fluence
to obtain nomination be con­sidered.

Epworth League Holds
First Meeting Sunday
Dr. Bruce McGehee Says Financial,
Political Centers Moving
West
The Epworth League held its first
meeting of the school year Sunday
evening with an attendance of ap­proximately
one hundred students. A
program of welcome was given for
the new students by Dean Zebulon
Judd, Reverand Bruce McGehee, and
J. D. Canterbury. Plans for each
Sunday of this semester were arrang­ed
at a cabinet meeting held Satur­day
afternoon.
The league meets every Sunday
evening at six-thirty at the Methodist
Church Auditorium.
NOTICE
The Ag Club will hold its first
meeting of the year tonight a t seven
o'clock at Comer Hall. All students
in agriculture are invited to attend.
As a climax to a period of special
training designed to prepare them to
get the most from their college ca­reers,
the freshman class attended a
special religious service Sunday morn­ing
and listened to an address by Pres­ident
Bradford Knapp. It was a union
service in which all churches of Au­burn
participated.
The speaker used for his text, "You
shall know the truth, and the truth
shall make you free." He declared
that he is more concerned about the
spiritual than the material side of
life. Civilization, he said, is not a
matter of mechanical contrivances, but
the complete thought and idea of a
people. It is the total of struggles.
The world would have been unat­tractive
if the Creator had put us on
it with all knowledge about every­thing,
he added. He used this state­ment
as a challenge to the new stu­dents,
declaring that mastery of sub­jects
is attractive and results in sound
mental development.
Dr. Knapp named the factors which
make for progress of an individual or
a nation. They are growth in know­ledge;
growth in intellectual capacity;
growth in effectiveness ' of political
and economic organizations; growth
of social consciousness, and growth
in spiritual and moral responsibility.
He pointed out that successful
science is the discovery and mastery
of natural laws. He took the position
that there is no conflict between
science and religion because each is
truth. Consequently scientists who
discover new truths and cause them
to be applied are making people free
from mechanical, economic and social
burdens.
The church services ended the en­trance
training course for freshmen,
and classes will run on regular sche­dule
beginning Monday morning.
Rev. J. R. Edwards, pastor of the
Auburn Baptist Church, Rev. S. B.
Hay, pastor of the Auburn Presby­terian
Church, and Rev. Bruce Mc­Gehee
of Auburn Methodist Church
participated in the service. The mu­sical
program included a vocal solo
by John Brigham and a piano solo
by Earl Hazel.

was accepted, and Gray was
immediately chosen as the new
head.
The new president is a senior in
Architecture, president of the Y.
M. C. A. and very active in college
activities.1*
Due to the failure of John May to

Church Societies To
Give Party On Friday
President's Mansion to Be Scene of
Lawn Party
President To Attend Eight of Ten Games
To Be Played By Auburn Football Stars
Attending seven of the nine games
of Auburn's football schedule last
year, President Bradford Knapp
proved himself one of the Tigers'
staunchest supporters, and this year
he will even better the record that
he made in 1929. Dr. Knapp has
definitely decided to see eight of the
ten games on this season's schedule
and will see the remaining two en­counters
if there is a possible chance.
However, pressing business matters
might keep him from viewing his
Tigers in every game that they play
on their attempted comeback journ­ey.
Auburn's popular prexy has been
interested in athletics since his col­lege
days at Vanderbilt when he per­formed
on Vandy's first two foot­ball
teams. He was recently award­ed
a sweater with the conveted gold
"V" attached by. Coach Dan McGu-gin,
head coach at the Nashville in­stitution.
He also holds honorary
membership in the "A" club here.
Dr. Knapp has decided to see
Coach Chet Wynne's initial team at
the Cornerstone in action in the fol­lowing
games: Birmingham-South­ern,
Spring Hill, Georgia Tech, Geor­gia,
Wofford, Mississippi A. & M.,
South Carolina and either Florida or
Vanderbilt. The only games that he
missed last season were the tilts
with Georgia and Tulane.
A party will be given on the lawn
in front of the President's Mansion
by all the young people's societies of
the churches of Auburn at eight
o'clock Friday evening it was announc­ed
by a joint committee representing
the various societies.
All students are invited, and the
committee especially urges all fresh­men
to be present. Each student is to
be given a tag on which to write his
name so that the old and new students
may become more easily acquainted.
Sub-committees were appointed to
arrange for the entertainment and
refreshments. Music is to be furnish­ed
by a student orchestra.
The committee pointed out that all
students, whether affiliated with any
of the organizations or not, are in­vited
to the party.
Mass Meeting
There will be a Mass Meeting
for all students Friday evening.
The Band will be out, and stu­dents
are to meet in front of
Langdon Hall at seven-o'clock.
Two assistant cheerleaders will
be chosen by a committee of "A"
Club members who will be pres­ent
at the tryouts.
All students are expected to be
present.

An Uncalled-For
Happening
Theje occurred on Friday evening at
the Y. M. C. A. reception for the fresh­men
an incident that was as disgraceful as
it was unwarranted.
In a scuffle to take a paddle from an up-perclassman
who was hazing the freshmen,
one of the new men criminally attacked
the paddle-wielder.
It is quite true that the upperclassman
had no business paddling the freshmen at
such a time. But at the same time, such
an attack reveals to us that there are mo­mentarily
unthinking students on the
campus. 9
The Plainsman believes that open hazing
such as that which was taking place when
the attack occurred should not be allowed.
The Administration is against hazing. Is
there any reason why steps toward stop­ping
such occurrences should not be taken?
The assaulter, however, can not be rep­rimanded
because he disappeared among
the crowd soon after the incident occur­red.
He does not fit in with Auburn tra­ditions,
customs, and ideals. It will be
better for him if he will change his atti­tudes
and intentions.
It is hoped that there will not be any
more happenings of this nature.

Auburn Traditions
Can't Be Ousted
Auburn has many cherished customs and
traditions which have existed for so many
years that they have come to be looked
upon as integral parts of the college in­stead
of as offsprings of the institution.
Nearly all these traditions are beneficial
to the student and result in the produc­tion
of a better Auburn man.
One of the most important of these
customs is that of everybody speaking on
the campus. No matter what the time
or place, when two Auburn men pass some/
sort of greeting takes place. This comes
from the fact that everybody is acquaint­ed
here, but results from the democratic
feeling and spirit of good fellowship that
exists among the students. It is a basic
part of that famous old tradition which
has been a part of the institution from
the beginning and which will doubtedly
last until the final chapter is written, the
"Auburn Spirit". The older the student,
the more does he realize the grasp the full
significance of this Spirit.
Still another custom of importance is
that of spirited mass meetings just before
football games. During these mass meet­ings
the yells to be used at the games are
practiced' and overyone's enthusdlasm is
worked up to the fever pitch. A full at­tendance
of the entire student body at
these meetings is absolutely necessary,
freshmen and upperclassmen as well.
Freshmen should peruse their "Rat
Bible" in an effort to acquaint themselves
with these traditions because it is mainly
by their observance that the Auburn Spi­rit
lives.
A Year Ago In Auburn
September 17, 1929
Maynard Baird's Southland Serenaders
were announced as-the orchestra chosen
by the Social Committe to play for the
Opening Dances' which were to begin on
October 4. It was decided by the admin­istration
that the dances would last only
two days, Friday and Saturday, October
4 and 5, in order that a larger number of
dances than usual might be given through­out
the year. The admission for the two
nights was to be seven dollars.
* * * *
The Executive Cabinet elected a chair­man-
and twelve men to serve on a Vigi-
Mr. Webster defines Chaff as "anything
light and worthless," and for a striking
example I refer you to the column bear­ing
that title the preceding issue of the
Plainsman. Not content to confine his idle
chatter to such trivial subjects as campus
observations, this budding Brisbane must
condemn the freshmen for appearing in
a suddenly supposedly civilized group de­cently
clad. In a sublime stab at nonenti^
ty the writer ridicules the new men for
wearing clean shirts. Possibly Mr. Dono­van's
column would be more appreciated at
one of the universities off the coast of
South Africa. I am very much in doubt
as to just what "Dick" considers the ap­propriate
garb for college men, but I ima­gine
it is his idea that the co-eds should
wear fig leaves.
True, Auburn men are woefully lacking
in the .cultural aspect, with regard- to dress.
Yet, it is necessary for us to remain in
this barbarian state? Must we always
dress as ragmuffians and chew tobacco?
Shall we continue to instill these uncouth
ideas into our freshmen—under the false
title of democracy?
* * * * *
And if our friend must be trite I would
suggest tljat he tell the one about the
"Two Scotchmen"; in preference to dwel­ling
on the proverbial campus gag about
"General Business". Also for the benefit
of any prospective "Ag", I should like to
inform the readers that the course is now
known as Business Administration. Again,
the writer may be interested in knowing
that business methods and principles play
an important part in our present' society..
* * * * . *
I notice that Cal Coolidge is receiving
a dollar per word for his efforts as a
columnist. Luckily enough he was not
paid on that basis when President, or I
fear that our chief executive would have
been at the mercy of charity.
* * * * *
Speaking of compensation, I must be
content to write for the sheer joy of writ­ing,
just because I never said that I re­fused
to run.
/ * * * * *
For the benefit of the illustrious Dick
Donovan and other aspiring writers, I wish
to explain tha|t' it is such a simple matter
to' write a column. Just flop before a
typewriter, anyone's will do, assume a
cynical attitude to all this platonic college
life, and by all means never try to think.
So simple.
Letters to the Editor
Editor, The Plainsman,
Dear Sir:
Since I have been a student at Auburn
it has been the policy of the Plainsman
to publish on the editorial page a column
of sarcastic remarks, but never-the-less a
column which exhibited sound thinking by
the writer.
In your last issue I notieed that the
column is appearing under a new name
and I will be frank in saying I do not
know whether or not it is a ficticious one,
but I will admit there is little expression
of real thought in it.'
Being a senior in the Department of
Business Administration, and feeling proud
of the advancement of this department
and the good it is doing Auburn, I feel it
my duty to call attention to one particular
paragraph of flabby remarks. In the first
place, there is no course in "General Busi­ness"
at this institution—it is "Business
Administration." The columnist seems to
be a year behind in this respect.
It is true that the heads of the Busi­ness
Administration department forbid
flunked Ags, or any student from any de-r
The boys are com­ing
fine because they
are working hard on
the football team. It
is funny about foot­ball
at Auburn. The
other afternoon when
so-called secret prac­tice
was . on and the
crowd was being held
back from the field,
a certain business man who is supposed to
be an ardent Auburn man strolled up to
the field after the coaches had been try­ing
out their first»string men against the
freshmen. The head coach began to put
in all of the men on the squad so that
all might have a chance and to get some
estimate of what each of them could do,
and then because not every combination
of the varsity could carry the ball against
a strong freshman line this business man
commenced to criticise.
I am bringing this incident up simply
for this fact. Chet Wynne is right about
secret practice because the average lay­man
doesn't/understand even what h« sees,
but I. am bringing it up for a further rea­son.
If we are going ahead and bring Au­burn
out, we need to sit prettjr hard on
these rail bird critics. What we need is a
courageous backing of this team not only
this year but with our eyes on next year
as well. I have utterly no patience what­ever
with the captious critic who is so
weak that he loses all his courage the mo­ment
one man fails to go through the line
like a sensation.
The story of this man is the first note
I have heard this year that was discourag­ing.
I think he had better stay away from
the football field. I am not sure he is a
business man. He may be a mere hanger-on
here in Auburn. I do know that the
students who were near him were thorough­ly
disgusted. We need courage, loyalty,
and unity and a little less carping critieism.
* * * * *
I suppose we always will have to deal
with the task of molding a new freshman
class into college work. The world moves
on and the old method of trying to create
loyalty by paddling and other things of
that sort has long since passed into the
discard. I never could see how it was pos­sible
to create loyalty and love for an in­stitution
by a system of hazing.
Nevertheless, young men will always en--
gage in a certain amount of rivalry and
contest whenever they come together. It
will be either a regulated, carefully plan­ned
contest or else it will be unregulated.
Personally I Relieve in the type that is
regulated. I like to see good class spirit
engendered in class games, field meetings,
contests of various character. In most in­stitutions
these have replaced the old un­regulated
physical contests.
Nevertheless, there was a fine reaction
out of a little occurrence of last Friday
night. In a spirit of fun somebody began
the old process of trying to paddle some
freshmen aiid then a good little friendly
contest happened to occur over the posses­sion
of the paddle when someone forgot
himself and used unfair means of trying
to settle the difficulty. I am very proud
of the fact that the freshman class re­gretted
the action of this student more
than anyone else and I think also that the
young man who was struck deserves a good
deal of credit. He acted the part of a
man in every way. So we all found out
that we have a ptetty manly freshman class
as a whole barring one man and a mighty
sportsmanlike young man in the upper
classes. I am sure that the man who did
the unfortunate piece of work which is be­ing
criticized so greatly would give his
right-arm if he had not done it. Possibly
he had never been away from home before.
Possibly at his high school that kind of
contest has been tolerated. I venture to
say that if he should stay here, two years
from now he will be as decidedly against
unfair practices under such circumstances
as any of the rest of us could be. The
world learns by making its mistakes and
he made a real mistake. After all, isn't
one of the provinces of an education that
of teaching honojr, integrity, fair dealing,
and high-minded conduct?
* * * * *
There is another thing that Isn't at all
necessary and I do not know why we per­sist
in doing it. I am wondering if a man
more .patriotic to Auburn with his shirt
tail out than he is with his shirt tail in like
a civilized man. If it is necessary to put
the shirt tails on the outside to be patriotic
then the Chinese have it on all of us.
My judgment is that that also is a sure
sign that the freshman class has just come
to college. I tried to tell them the other
night that the best college yelling I ever
partment who has flunked, to enter this
course, and if the columnist would inves­tigate
he would find quite a few who
didn't have the reason.
The column is well-named.
Respectfully,
Jack Capell.

To heights up in the sky.
A song I sing, a message bring,
When blondes I do espy.
All gentlemen prefer the blondes
Or so they often say.
Whether I be of that type of man,
I'm glad I love that way.
Of course, the brunettes do appeal
For some a re blessed with beauty,
But choice is given to the blondes,
I feel it is my duty.

I know I still abide the rule,
For I still love the blondes.

BOOK REVIEW
"Daughters of Eve"—Gamaliel Bradford:
This gallery of portraits of famous women
is extremely fascinating. All of the
charming qualities of the mistress of the
Garden of Eden are represented and il­lustrated
in the life story of a few of her
descendants including Ninon De Lenclos,
Madame De Maintenon, Madame Guyon,
Mmc. De Lespinasse, Catherine the Great,
George Sand, and the immortal Sarah
Bernhardt.
The first portrait of the charming Ninon
De Lenclos, who represents Eve in the
Apple Orchard, contradicts some of the
accepted conventions of morality because
after leading a wild and riotous life she
-passes her later years serenely instead of
in disrepute as such persons are usually
supposed to do.
Eve as the Dove and the Serpent is
shown in the mysterious Madame DeMain-heard
in all my life was the yelling put on
by a bunch of fellows who were dressed
faultlessly at West Point. The greatest,
finest cheering this year will be from such
institutions and not a mother's son of them
but will be expelled from college if he
couldn't lift up his voice without having '
his shirt tail on the outside.

The biggest job this week is to get down
to work. Don't forget about budgeting
your time, cleaning up your studies as you
go. Instructors are being asked to report
absences promptly and students will be
asked to explain their absences to the dean.
The main job is right here now. Forget
these frills on the side and turn your at­tention
to the real thing which brought
you to Auburn. Take in the frills in one-tenth
of your time and devote nine-tenths
of it to getting your education. If you
try to reverse this proportion, I am quite
certain you will find yourself coming to
the President's office on invitation but the
kind of an invitation I do not like to ex­tend.
tenon who married Louis XIV and in spite
of the fact that she was flattered and bow­ed
down to on every hand, felt nothing but
the hollowness of it all. The religious Ma­dame
Guyon is next presented as a strik­ing
contrast and she is represented as Eve
and 'Almighty God.
One of the great lovers of the world,
Mademoiselle De Lespinasse, in the chap­ter
"Eve and Adam" explains her social
attraction in saying, "I am loved only be­cause
people believe and see that is pleases
me to be so." She is followed by the am­bitious
and powerful Catherine the Great,
"Eve Enthroned." Catherine is represent­ed
as one of the most energetic, creative,
and dynamic feminine personalities that
ever existed and in spite of her eccentric­ities,
one of the most lovable.
George Sand, the only woman author
pictured, is presented in an .interesting
portrait as she lives the loves that she por­trays
in her works. She is an idealist in
her writing as well as in her concrete life.
The startling and picturesque Sarah Bern­hardt
concludes the series as "Eve in the
spotlight." The most interesting and sig­nificant
fact in this chapter is the adver­tising
value that the great Bernhardt de­rived
from her extravagances and freak­ish
'modes of living.
In conclusion the Author brings out the
obvious fact that this whole company'of
Daughters of Eve were adventurers, free,
joyous, and careless experimenters with
life. —L. C. McCallum.

I HAD quite an experience in sea-going
life last week. It befell my lot to jour­ney
down to the Sigma Nu house to
attend a somewhat solemn conclave of fel­low
students to discuss the need for a few
more literary societies. It so happened
that we had had a light shower during
the afternoon, but the weather had clear­ed
up by nightfall. Full of confidence, and
with nothing more weighty on my mind
than a few members of the fair sex, I
set out.
Everything was fine until I rounded the
corner by the'library, then I suddenly dis­covered
that I was ankle deep in water.
This failed to create a pleasant sensation,
but I continued. Instead of walking out
of the water I seemed to be getting deep­er.
There were no street lights and I
could not see in the dark because I was
I
not built that way. While pondering over
the situation there came an ear-splitting
screech almost in my face. Thinking it
a fog-horn, I dashed wildly to my right
and collided rather painfully with a tree.
Upon recovering I was able to discern a
couple of Sigma Nus cruising upstream.
It seemed that the blast I heard was caus­ed
by one of those adolescents blowing
his nose. Some people are gifted with
brains, others with enlarged proboscis.
Encouraged by the success of these two
boys in overcoming the hardships en route,
I proceeded on my way. The terrain was
comparable to a relief map of Switzerland.
My feet encountered no obstructions oth­er
than a few large roots and a maze of
deep gullies. I had become used to the
water by then, even though the current
was swift.
I was beginning to believe I would ar­rive
at my destination without further
mishap when I stepped off into the Grand
Canyon. Thinking that I must review my
geography, I finally regained my bearings
and again set out on the same course.
While contemplating the advisability of re­pairing
to the street for better footing; I
reached the Practice House. I was remind­ed
of the Montgomery highway two years
ago when I noted the condition of the side­walk
in front of this institution. Someone
evidently parks an automobile on the walk,
since I ran into some such object. This in­cident
recalled the opposite sex to my mind
but I dismissed the thought for matters
more pressing. I managed to maneuver
around this impedence and slid into the
yard of the Sigma Nu House firmly re­solved
to make that my last visit.
I.was overjoyed to note in the Plains­man
that the institution is offering a
course for aviation. All we need now is to
buy a few boats to teach navigation. The
dwellers in Ag Bottom will have to under­go
a metamorphosis and become amphib­ians
if something' isn't done about that
walk.
* * * * *
Again the question of hazing comes to
the front. Some manly upper-classman
carried a board to the YMCA fracas Friday ,
night, given to welcome the Freshmen, and
displayed the old Auburn "Spirit" by pacT
dling the posterior portions of some of the
new matriculates. Such is the welcome
they get—the board. I presume this man
had to shine to gratify his vanity.
It is time for these stagnant minds to
realize that beating Freshmen doesn't show
school spirit or a progressive student body.
We are exhorted to remember old Auburn
customs and traditions—Bah—we should
try to better them. This hazing is one of
the most disgusting things seen on the cam­pus.
It is evidence of backwardness. We
call ourselves progressive, yet we have
made very little progress on this score. It
is a black mark against Auburn.
There was another incident which at­tracted
my attention at the YMCA party
Friday night. A freshman took it upon
himself to unsportingly attack an upper­classman
for paddling the freshmen. While
I agree with the new man concerning the
paddling, I heartily condemn the assault.
There is no excuse for the existence on
this campus of such a weapon as that
which the freshman used—it is criminal
to use it. The man who was struck should
be glad to be alive.
The Freshman who carried this instru­ment
about his person Friday night has no
place on our campus. We don't want men
with his type of mind. A mind as distort­ed,
as his should be elsewhere. ""•-.

Taken from "TWO IN THE CAMPAGNA"
I wonder do you feel today
As I have felt since, hand in hand,
We sat down on the grass, to stray
In spirit better through the land,
This morn of Rome and May?
For me, I touched a thought, I know,
Has tantalized me many times,
(Like turns of thread the spiders throw
Mocking across our path) for hymes
To catch at and let go.

Two Auburn Alumni Begin Research
Work With Engineering Department
W. J. Horsley, '28, and E. R.
Hauser, '29, to Carry on Re­search
Work This Year
V
It has beefl announced by the En­gineering
Department that W. J.
Horsley, of the Class of '28, and E.
R. Hauser, of the class of '29 will
be in Auburn this year to carry on
extensive research work.
Mr. Horsley, after leaving here in
'28 was employed by the Texas Oil
Company, manufacturers of Texaco
Gas and Oil. Mr. Horsley spent the
first six months of his employment
in taking a student training course
in power engineering. Completing
that he was transferred to Wyoming
where he served in the capacity of
Assistant Power Engineer. At some
later date, Mr. Horsley left the Tex­as
Company to go to work with the
Southern Natural Gas Company.
Mr. Hauser left here at the com­pletion
of his college education in
1929, going to New York, to* work in
the Western Electric research labo­ratories.
While there, Mr. Hauser
carried on a great deal of work in
" locating flaws in metals in connection
with the radio department.
The nature of the research work
to be carried on this year is rather
interesting. Horsley will start by
investibating the problem of "pit­ting"
in water wheels. This is a
continuation of work started two
years ago by Professor Hixon. A
four months period of observation
of water wheels at the Martin Dam
on the Tallapoosa River seems to in­dicate
the results are going to be
satisfactory. However, more/lefinite
Four-Year Course Begun
In Interior Decoration
A new four-year course interior
decorating has been added to the
curriculum of the school of Archi­tecture
and Allied Arts, according to
announcement by Dean Frederic
Child Biggin.
The new course is intended for
students who want to become prac­ticing
interior decorators,., depart­ment
designers of furniture, hang­ings,
etc., or purchasing agents or
salesmen for house furnishing estab­lishments.

Dean Biggin stated that arrange
ments have been made for house­wives
or their husbands to enter as
special students and take instruction
in one or more subjects of the course,
if interested.
"Basic courses will be given in
drawing, perspective, color theory,
use of water colors and oils, and the
study of building plans and construc­tion,"
the dean said. "These will be
followed by illustrated lectures on
the history of architecture, painting,
and sculpture, ornament, period dec­oration
and furniture, and wall and
floor coverings, all applied to labora­tory
courses in practical interior de­sign."
ONE HUNDRED AND SIXTY-ONE TEACHERS
PLACED BY EDUCATION DEPT. LAST YEAR
One hundred and sixty-one teach­ers
were placed in positions by the
Bureau of Educational Service here
last yea,r. This bureau is a division
of the School of. Education here.
Of the total number of teachers
placed, 103 studenfts received the
degree of Bachelor of Science in
Education. Of the total number who
received their Master of Science de­gree,
17 were teachers and did their
work as further preparation as teach-knowledge
as to the success of Pro­fessor
Hixon's work will be avail­able
• about next Christmas. There
are two other problems which Mr.
Horsley intends to investigate. One
is the heat treating of metals and
the second is refrigeration. In-as-i

Three of Auburn's Football Games
To Be Broadcast Over Station WAPI
Many Trees Are Planted
By Houston County Man
Montgomery—One of the major re­forestation
projects undertaken dur­ing
the past year in Houston Coun­ty
is found on the plantation of Mr.
J. W. Chappell, three and one-half
miles south of Dothan, according to
Mr. H. F. Maturen, Division Forester
at Troy, Ala. A large number of
tree seedlings were purchased from
the State Forest Nursery and plant­ed
during February of the past wint­er.
Mr. Chappell shares the opinion of
many other landowners throughout
the state that poor land can more
profitably be kept in timber than in
agricultural crops. About twenty
acres of the plantation were divert­ed
to the growing of trees this year.
This is only a beginning, however,
and the work will continue.
Ninety per cent of the planting
was Slash Pine, five per cent Black
Locust and five per cent Long-leaf
Pine. The severe drought of the past
summer caused a serious loss among
all the species but most of the trees
have survived and fail spots will be
planted up next year to make a fully
stocked stand. The difference of
one year's growth, over a long period
of time, will not be perceptible in
the final yield at the end of the ro­tation.

More and more French women are
coming into the public light. Emu­lating
the lone sailor of the Pacific,
Alain Gerbault, the well-known
yachtswoman, Madame Jeanne Heriot,
is now making plans for a daring
voyage from le Havre to Los Angeles
via the Panama Canal, in her tiny
twenty-foot sailing vessel. Madame
Heriot expects to take part in the
Olympic Games regattas in this yacht
which is one of the miniature fleet
she posses.
This slim, frail-looking French wo­man
is an accomplished sailor as well
as the wife of the owner of Grands
Magasins due Louvre, one of Paris'
leading department stores. All her
life she has been an .enthusiastic
yachtswoman and interested in navi­gation.
She believes that only those
who handle sailing ships really know
anything about the sea.
She had her first racing yacht built
for her in 1912 and afterwards bought
from the Kaiser his famous Meteor
IV which she rechristened "L'Ailee"
and aboard which she cruised more
than five thousand miles, spending
eight out of the twelve months at
sea. She has a new racing yatfit
built for every year and is the prdud
owner of a little fleet of ten, com­prising
four six-metre yachts and six
eight-metre ones. The yacht which
goes to Los Angeles will be worked
by her' usual racing crew, but Ma­dame
Heriot expects to carry out much
of the navigation work herself.
Small Boy Unhurt After
Freight Runs Over Him
The story, of a three-year-old child
escaping unhurt after being run ov­er
by a freight train is told in a let­ter
by Dr. C. R. Irvin, Railway phy­sician
to the claim department of *he
Norfolk and Western Railway.
Landon Postern, just rounding out
his third year, wandered up on the
railway tracks near his home at
Hankie, Va., on the morning of Au­gust
30; the letter stated. A freight
train rounded the curve and was near
the child before the engineer could
apply the brakes.
After the train had been stopped
the crew rushed back to find the
child lying flat upon his stomach
between the rails. Dr. Irvin said the
child did not receive so much as a
scratch.
Henpecked Copper
Seeks Aid of Law
Who was it that said, "The fe­male
of the species is more dead­ly
than the male?"
A policeman of Los Angeles
says his wife fears neither man
nor beast. When said policeman
sought the' protection of the law,
he so impressed the judge before
whom he pleaded his case that the
judge issued an "anti-molest" or­der
against the woman who quit
being a lion tamer with a circus
to become the policeman's wife.
"She always could make lions
do just what she said, and just to
show how afraid of policemen she
is, she walked right out to where
I was directing traffic one day and
slapped my face," the henpecked
man told the judge.
"I ran right over and called a
patrol wagon. A whole squad hur­ried
out to help me. They took
one look at my wife and hurried
right back. And they didn't take
her with them, either."

Association A Great
Factor College Life
Says C. K. Brown
"Many students have an idea that
buildings, a student body, a faculty
and diplomas make a college. In a
material sense that is true, but while
in school one should cultivate a love,
respect and an admiration for ttye
college that he attends.
"In college, form yourself for a
life after graduation that will reflect
well on your Alma Mater. This is
a way in which you. may show your
appreciation for that personal inter­est
so prevalent between student and
teacher at the Alabama Polytechnic
Institute.
"A student should have an attitude
toward his college as one has toward
his family. No. family is prominent
unless some part of it is prominent.
Then, upon the shoulders of the Alum­ni
does rest the responsibility of up­holding
Auburn's good name. If the
Auburn Alumni succeeds, the college
will succeed in getting the kind of
men who will give prestige to their
Alma Mater. Prominent men, it may
be explained, that a college attempts
to influence into its student body
from high schools,' are of three types,
namely: (1) those of high scholastic
standing, (2) sons of wealthy promi­nent
men, and (3) those who are
accomplished athletes.
"When a prospective college student
sees the success of Alumni members
like Matthew S. Sloan, .president of
the New York Edison Company,
Champe S. Andrews, writer, inven­tor,
and vice-president of the Na­tional
Folding Box Co., and others,
which space prevents listing, he is
attracted to this institution.
The Auburn Alumnus, which Mr.
Kirtley Brown associately edits, aside
from commending successful grad­uates,

a list of the complete Auburn alumni.

This school offers two courses. One
of these is a four-year course leading---
to a Bachelor- of Science degree in
textile engineering. The other is a
two-year course, which is an attrac­tive
course for the older than aver­age
student, or the student who does
not have time for the full four-year
course. This two-year course leads to
a certificate in textile engineering,
and it is so arranged that, in the
event that the student returns to col­lege
after completing this course, he
is allowed full credit and can finish
the four-year degree course in two
additional years.

Constitution Day Is
Observed by Kiwanis
Speaking at the Auburn Kiwanis
club luncheon Monday Dr. Bruce Mc-
Ghee, pastor of the Auburn Metho­dist
Church declared that both the
financial and the political centers of
the United States are moving west­ward
and predicted a closer politi­cal
alignment of the West and the
South because conditions in the two
..J
sections are similar.
It was constitution day at the club
and another speaker was James Par-rish,
son of Professor and Mrs. J. A.
Parrish, who talked about Boy Scout
work. He told what scouts stand for
and a little of what they do. —
As evidence that the political cen­ter
of the United States is moving
westward, Dr. McGhee cited the fact
that both President Hoover and Vice-
President Curtis are western men
and that about fourfifths of the im­portant
committees of Congress are
headed by men living in that section.
A full attendance of members of
the club were present. They appear­ed
enthusiastic about the work of
the year, now beginning. Dr. B. F.
Thomas had as his guest, Dr. Moore,
of Opelika, who has assisted Dr.
Thomas in student examination work.
Dr. Roger Allen, president of the
club, presided.

Brains aren't everything, but they

(Continued from page 3)
Mr. Chappell, who has spent many
years in developing better strains of
cotton, believes that reforestation
work will become more widespread
each year and that the complete utili­zation
of every acre on the farm will
be brought about by keeping the less
productive acres in forest growth.
The wisdom of confining the agricul­tural
crops to the better soils is now
apparent on his own plantation where
he has made forty bales of cotton on
forty acres. .
Every Parker Duofold is convertible—
a combination pocket and desk Pen both,
at no extra charge. Choose Parker Duo-fold
and you virtually get two Pens for
the price of one.
Yet you have only one to fill. And you
have your accustomed point wherever
you are.
When you're on the go, it wears its
trim, streamlined cap, with Parker's pat­ented
clip that holds the Pen low and
unexposed in your pocket.
On your desk, it rests in Parker's ball
and socket Base. And with this comes the
tapered end for the Pen (once $1 extra;,
now included free.
Attaching the taper converts the Due-fold
into a Desk Set. Removing it restores
the Pen to a pocket model.
Guaranteed for Life
Paying more won't get you a thing—
but will deprive you of this double value.
For only the Parker offers this. And a
Pen that holds 17.4% more ink than aver­age,

Go try them at any nearby pen counter,
side by side, with any other pen, regard­less
of price. You'll be surprised.
