Tigers Are Fast Rounding Into Shape Under Coach "Chet" Wynne
SIXTY MEN ALREADY OUT FOR
VARSITY FOOTBALL SQUAD
Ten Games. A r e Scheduled On
1930 Calendar
HARD TRAINING AHEAD
B i r m i n g h a m - S o u t h e r n Is First
Game—September 26th
With the opening game less than
three weeks off Coach Chet Wynne is
driving his squad of sixty ambitious
Tigers at a furious pace in order to
place a smooth working machine on
the field against the Birmingham-
Southern Panthers.
The majority of the candidates re­ported
for practice a week before the
opening of school and have gone
through an intense drill in funda­mentals
twice daily. A short Spring
Training period has made' this type
of work necessary and the coaches
have been faced with the prospect of
crowding six weeks work into three.
A definite time has been allotted to
each type of drill and this schedule
has been followed daily.
Coach Wynne has spent most of
his time with the backs, Kiley with
the ends, and McFaden and Cannon
have given special instruction to the
line candidates. The backs have been
blocking, side-stepping, punting, pass­ing,
working on pass defense and
general handling of the ball. The line­men
have worked principally on charg­ing,
use of the hands, tackling and
other fundamentals of line play.
Jack Cannon, famous Notre Dame
guard, will have charge of the Frosh
gridders this season but has been
working with the varsity guards this
past weak.
Only two letter wearers have not
reported and most of the reserves and
Freshmen recruits are on hand. Ben
Newton and Joe Andrews are the
two absentees. Both men were tack­les
on the 1929 aggregation.
The following men are now present:
Centers—Captain Harkins, Johnson,
Hill, and Kirkby. Guards—Joe Burt,
J. D. Bush, Carl Schlich, Jones, Wood,
Simpkins, Sheehan, Patterson, and
Herren. Tackles—Taylor, Holdcroft,
Arthur, Wagnon, Molpus, Stewart,
•, Prim. Ends—Egge, McRee,
/ft, Childers, Creel, Chappelle,
ilson, Sindo, Senn, Mason, Moseley,
Wood.
Quarterbacks—Davidson, Parker,
Tamplin, Shackleford. Halfbacks—
Hatfield, Young, Pate, Hitchcock, Bas-sett,
Cook,' Phipps, Cameron, Dunbar,
Richardson, Creighton. Fullbacks—
Brown, Wible, Jordan.
The Tigers will open the season
with Birmingham-Southern furnish­ing
the opposition in Cramton Bowl
on September 26. Spring Hill will
be the next opponent with Florida,
Tech, and Georgia following on suc­cessive
week-ends. After these three
tough cpnference foes the Plainsmen
will take on another S. I. A. A. op­ponent
when the Wofford gridders
invade the Plains. Tulane, Missis­sippi
A. & M., and Vandy come next
and the encounter with the South
Carolina Gamecocks in Columbus will
conclude the season's festivities.

By Burton Book Store
After fifty-two years of successful
business in Auburn, the Burton Book
Store has expanded by the purchase
of the Student Supply Shop. The
f|»re was originally established in
Opelika by two brothers, Robert Wil­ton
and J. Q. Burton. At the re­quest
of the faculty it was moved to
Auburn. It has been under the pres­ent
management for thirteen years.
To take care of the opening rush
and for the convenience of the stu­dents,
the store is being operated in
two buildings, but it is likely that it
will all be moved to one building this
year. ^
Official commendation of Auburn's
R. O. T. C. artillery training facili­ties
and of the condition of equip­ment
was expressed by Major Gen­eral
Harry G. Bishop, chief of field
artillery, Washington, D. C, while
on an inspection trip to Auburn re­cently.
General Bishop looked over
the large field artillery unit in com­pany
with Major John T. Kennedy,
commandant.
The general was entertained with
an elaborate dinner given by Presi­dent
and Mrs. Knapp, at the Presi­dent's
Mansion.
General Bishop is making an in­spection
tour of field artillery activi­ties
in the 4th corps area, after which
he will visit the units in the 8th corps
area.
Graduating in 1897 from the Unit­ed
States Military Academy, General
Bishop has had a distinguished mili­tary
record. All his service has been
in the artillery. During the World
War he served as brigadier general
and was in command of the 3rd Field
Artillery Brigade in Germany follow­ing
the Armistice. The Distinguish­ed
Service Medal was awarded him
for service to his country during the
world War.

Cheer Leader Issues
Call For Assistants
With the revival of Auburn's
football team comes a call to the
student body for assistant cheer
leaders.
Head Cheer Leader, Harry
Davis, has issued an appeal to
every man who has or has not
had any experience as a cheer
leader to be present for the try-outs
which will be held in the
near future.
A golden opportunity is offer­ed
tne freshmen for recognition
on the campus and an invaluable
aid in the preservation of the
Auburn traditions.
The date of the selections and
further details will be announ­ced
at a later date.
Beginning with the 1930-31 session
two courses in aeronautical engineer­ing
will be offered here by Ltr. V. C.
Finch, who has arrived at Auburn
from the Pacific Coast and assumed
charge of the work.
One will be a course in aviation
designed to qualify students for pass­ing
the ground work examination of
the Department of Commerce. The
other will be a course in airplane
design. They will be an addition to
the curriculum made by President
Bradford Knapp to meet a growing
demand.
In a statement concerning the
proposed work, Dean John J. Wil-more,
of the School of Engineering,
said that the aim is to familiarize
students with the principles of flight
and with the fundamentals of design
and construction as applied to the
airplane.
The aviation subjects will be co­ordinated
with other engineering sub­jects
and courses, thereby building
one upon the other. Because of this
combination, Auburn has distinct ad­vantages
in aviation and instruct-ional
work.
Following the usual preliminary
work and the subjects fundamental
to all engineering, part of the third
and fourth years of mechanical en­gineering
will be devoted to aero­nautical
subjects, Dean Wilmore said.
Lectures on aviation and airplane de­sign
will be supplemented by draft­ing
room practice and by laboratory
work both in the methods of aero­nautical
research and in the mainten­ance
and repair of airplanes.

Letter to the Students
From President Knapp
Dear Fellow-Students:
At the opening of a new col­lege
year the whole institution
extends to you a very hearty
welcome back to Auburn. To
. the upperclassmen there must
come increasing responsibilities
and duties in the new year.
Heavier courses and more ad­vanced
work are a challenge to
you in the new school year. The
good name and fame of the in­stitution
and the town as well
rest heavily upon your shoulders.
To the new students this wel-means
assuming new responsi­bilities.
In a new institution,
under new surroundings and cir­cumstances,
yours is the task of
adjusting yourselves to the ma­chinery
of the institution and we
shall emphasize time and again
the necessity of your coopera­tion
in order that you may get
the most out of the institution.
Time are difficult and this
year above all others we owe it
to ourselves to be careful in the
expenditure of our money be­cause
of the straitened circum­stances
of thousands of our fel­low-
citizens out over the state.
I feel that it is a good year for
hard work, earnest effort and
many steps of progress. In be-
^half of the whole faculty and
the entire community I ask your
earnest and hearty cooperation
that we may make this a year
well to be remembered.
Sincerely yours,
Bradford Knap,
President.

Military Instructors
With the opening of the fifty-ninth
session three new officers of the reg­ular
army are included on the fac­ulty
of the school of military sci­ence.
They are Capt. Walter- A.
Metts, Lt. Thomas S. Gunby, and Lt.
Harry L. Watts. They replace Capt.
Capt. B. Conn Anderson, Lt. G. B.
Barth, and Lt. G. E. Pease, who were
ordered to duty elsewhere by the U.
S. War Department.
Captain Metts,1 a native of South
Carolina, reported to Auburn from
Fort Sill, Oklahoma.. He entered the
army in 1917 and is a graduate of
the field artillery basic course and
battery officers course at Fort Sill.
Lieutenant Gunby was born in
Louisiana and was graduated from

The annual award of the Birming­ham
News Scholarship to Auburn has
been given to Otis Spears, of Pisgah,
Alabama, who was named to receive
the scholarship recently. Spears, who
is twenty-one years of age, is a grad­uate
of DeKalb County High School
finishing last May. He has enrolled
in the secondary education course.
The task of picking the most worthy
applicantJor this scholarship-fell up­on
a committee of five members of
the Auburn faculty. They found the
problem a difficult one.
" . . . Permit me to say," writes
Dr. Knapp, "how difficult is the task
of deciding between such a large
number of applicants, all of whom
are deserving and all of whom pre
sent cases that would attract the at­tention
of anyone seeking to help a
young man or woman through .col
lege."
Speaking of the recipient Dr
Knap says, "Auburn is glad to get
a boy like Otis Spears. As long as
there is a chance in America for the
son of a tenant farmer to go on
through college and then possibly into
a position of influence and service
in his state, that fact is in keep­ing
with the heritage of our country
and fits into the ideals of Auburn."
Upon receiving the news of his se­lection
as winner of scholarship,
Spears said, "It seems that my fond­est
dream—the dream of obtaining a
college education at Auburn—is soon
to be a reality. . . Thank God for Am­erican
institutions that make it pos
sible for a young citizen to live the
ideal that he has long cherished."

Former Auburn Star
Dies In Birmingham
Porter Callahan, 23, star of the
Auburn football team for three
years, died Tuesday morning, Sept.

star will be taken to Cullman, his
home, for burial by Oscar Fisher
funeral directors.
Had Just Graduated
Death ended the career of the
popular Auburn hero within a few
weeks after he had graduated from
the institution.
He attended summer school which
ended in August, in order to receive
his diploma before the opening of the
fall term.
Callahan went to Alabama Poly­technic
Institute five years ago from
Cullman, where he played with the
high school football team there.
He was a member of the Auburn
freshman squad, as halfback, and
made the varsity in his sophomore
year.

Plainsman Welcomes
Freshmen to Auburn
The Plainsman voices the welcome of
every upper classman to the freshmen, and
it is with the sympathy of experience that
everything possible will be done to ward
off the strange nostalgia that shall en­velope
them in the adjustment and arrange­ment
for the beginning of their college ca­reers.
They should have entered college for the
sole purpose of fitting themselves for the
greatest life, and it is their duty to seek in
the classroom, in campus activities, and
from their associates, those lessons that
will be invaluable in later life.
No doubt freshmen have heard that col­lege
men stress the value of campus con­tacts
and the influence of college friends.
Yet the new men must realize that they are
part of the complex personalities; that they
have something to offer, that others will
benefit from association with them if they
realize their potentialities.
They are soon to learn that pretencious-ness
is taboo in Auburn. They should be
themselves, for inexperience is appreciated,
and they will always find those that are
ready to help them. Their professors know
their condition, and are always willing to
aid them in any way possible.
They are entering Auburn at a time of
rapid progress both aesthetic and somato-scopic.
Stand the pace!
Football Team Starts
Work Under N e w Regime
During the past three years Auburn's
football situation has gone through a re­construction
period. Valient efforts were
made to secure a suitable man for the po­sition
of head coach and athletic director,
but in some way or other these efforts
came to naught. It is of use to attempt
to say just what the trouble has been;
nevertheless, it has been there and the ha­voc
it has raised is self-evident when the
percentage column is reviewed.
This year sees a football machine being
launched here under the direction of a new
head coach, "Chet" Wynne, of Notre Dame.
No one realizes better than this man the
difficult situation to be faced by the head
coach at Auburn. Dr. Knapp explained to
Wynne before he accepted the position that
unless he had the spirit and hardihood of
a pioneer he had better not tackle the job.
It was a challenge to Wynne and he ac­cepted
it enthusiastically.
In the same way, the men out on the
field think of the record of the last few
years as a challenge, and they have ac­cepted
the challenge willingly. Never has
a squad shown such spirit, such willing­ness
to work and work hard, and what is
even more important such confidence in a
coach.
However, Wynne promises no miracles.
He is fully aware of the difficulty involved
in installing a new system of football in
a short time. Games will be won as well
as lost this fall, but it is toward the fu­ture
that we must ultimately look and build,
and with Wynne, Cannon, Kiley, McFadden

You rats parade,. for time has made
The custom and the rule.
For rats to know, and too, to show
The spirit of our school.
Now, I was once, a freshy dunce
And sadly took rebuff.
But ere 'twas long, I learned the throng
Was made of sterner stuff.
So rats take heed, and learn with speed
AH is in fun and jest.
Just show a grin, and you'll begin
To show you stand the test.
HIC HICS, '31
I have said my wel­come
in a letter else­where
but the staff
of the Plainsman is
asking me to contin­ue
this year to write
Prexy's Paragraphs
and so I must do as
they request.
You upperclassmen
who help with the
work of the institution have a most fas­cinating
task in making Auburn men out
of this fine group of freshmen. In less
than nine months we will be proud of
them, they will have formed an attach­ment
for us and we will realize that
the great transformation has actually tak­en
place and they have become real Au­burn
men. How are we to make them
regard the institution highly? It seems
to me that we are to do this largely.by
living out own lives so that they may ad­mire
what we do. We must live the ideals
of the institution as nearly as we can
and by that living set them an example.
I know quite well we will fall short of
our own ideals in doing this but it is
worth trying at any fate.
* * * * *
The task of initiating freshmen into
the new life is a difficult task. I do most
assuredly think a freshman ought to come
to college with a due sense of humility.
Even in the United States Senate a new
Senator, no matter what his standing may
have been in his own state, is expected
to go through a period of initiation and of
humility before he is on an equal footing
with the rest of the senators. The best
rule is to find out what is expected of
freshmen. Wear your freshman cap; be
decently considerate of the standing of
all upperclassmen; be cheerful, earnest
and painstaking in all that you do and
learn that there is a lot of difference be­tween
a senior in high school and a fresh­man
in college.
The best thing that can happen at this
institution this year is for us to get down
to work as students as quickly and as
earnestly as the football boys have got-
*:- WITH OTHER COLLEGES *
Wal folks here's coming at yuh with a
brand new line of news and viyews on the
doings and carrying ons in other schools
and indtertutions about this country- of
our'n. This aint no political colume nor a
section to tell all about the sports that
other colleges are active in. Just the plain
old facts as proves to be of interest in be­ing
something real and helpful in a newsy
sense or something that ain't too serious
to prevent comment being paid on same
in a humorous way. (a weak attempt at
humor sometimes).
You know, folks, with some sixteen hun­dred
types of male and female running
loose around this neck of the country and
all being interested in different kinds of
news about other instertutions anywhere
from courtin to chasin goats it's mighty
hard to run a colume that suits everybody.
Suggestions is always appreshiated and
criticisms are welcomed. So if you ain't
satisfied with this here colume and think
it could be worked on to advantage, jes
you write the one responsible for all this
stuff and tell him he jest ain't no good
and how. As was herein-to-before stated,
there are various types going to this col­lege
(anywhere from freshmen to co-eds).
You know, folks, any big editor can rest
asshured that his colume will be read by
studentz if he has something to say about
either co-eds or freshmen. It is always
funny. Maybe that's the reazon we don't
need to have a funny section in our col­lege
paper. You know what is mean't by
a funny section, one that has funny pic-and
Baskin as coaches, that outlook is ex­ceedingly
bright. With the squad sticking
behind the coaching staff and the student
body and faculty squarely behind the en­tire
outfit, it is entirely impossible to see
anything but a prosperous future for Au­burn's
football situation.

The most earnest effort yet made in
many years to put Auburn forward in
football is being put forth on Drake Field"
and at the Gymnasium by "Chet" Wynne
and his fellow-coaches. They have tackled
a hard job. From time to time I am go­ing
to have a good deal to say about it
so that you and I may encourage them and
help them in their work. Let's make an
early resolution to work with them to the
fullest extent of our ability and as the
enthusiasm comes let us contribute to the
growth of that spirit which means "the
will to win."

funny things. This paper of our'n has
plenty funny sections more than likely that
warn't intended to be that way. You know
folks most of us is trying to do our dern-dest
to please yuh and that is what makes
it so tragical when a guy is trying so hard
and turns out to be ridiculous. Send in

Now that we have had a little heart to
heart talk in maybe a plain common way,
(we like to be in common) the editor of
this column wishes to .say that this is his
third year in attempting to find the most
interesting things that take place on other
campuses and make comment on same in
this column. Your editor has received num­bers
of letters from students in other col­leges
as well as students here at A. P. I.
commenting on this column or some particu­lar
article that has appeared herein. Most
of the criticism has been on articles that
had to do with co-eds in other colleges and
many a scathing word has been written.
It is not the editor's purpose to hurt the
feelings of anyone. Any article .that you
would like to have appear in this column
or any criticism or suggestion that you
wish to make just mail the article or sug­gestion
to the editor of this column and
it will be greatly appreciated.

Many of the colleges over the south have
not started yet, or else like our own insti­tution,
have not been underway long enough
for a staudent paper to be out. Therefore,
the reason for all the bull in this column
this issue of the Plainsman. To the fresh­men
the editor wishes to state that we re­ceive
student papers from most of the col­leges
in the states, the best at any rate,
and this column is intended to be used in
publishing the most interesting things that
take part at other colleges. Each week the
papers that we have received from other
colleges are taken over to the Y. M. C. A.
office reading room, and are their for your
use. It is well worth any one's time to
read the papers that we receive from oth­er
colleges, as there are many articles of
nation-wide interest rather than only ar­ticles
of local interest.
* * * * *
This looks like a banner year for Au­burn
in every respect and we want the
Plainsman to be the best student paper in
the South. Let's all work together.

THIS is all new. We know we must
be cynical, yet the freshmen look all
right. No one is trying to cut their
beautiful tresses—the Cajoler has not come
out yet—we like babies, and even Timbig-bee's
pen is silent.
However, we realize the only honorable
thing to do is to welcome the class of "34",
and if you will pardon the conventionalism
we will say with profound sincerity that
an era of rejuvination faces these fresh­men.
Without a doubt they are a promis­ing
lot and if the upperclassmen can be
restrained from contaminating their pla-tonic
minds with concentrated hokum about
traditions, Auburn may look to this group
for her salvation.
We note a passage from the new Rat
Bible advising freshmen to follow the pre­scribed
walks of the campus. Although
literally very practical, it sounds the key
-note for conservatism. May the "Rats"
tramp with brutish delight the grass of
orthodoxy—yes, even the moss of Auburn
conventions.

Comes the news that the late Benjamin
Provost will teach English at Judson Col­lege.
We wonder if they have literary so­cieties
or horrid old spinsters who want to
give cute little freshmen boyish bobs. We
also wonder if the stoic Ben will weaken
to a pair of pleading brown eyes after the
naughty little girlie has split an infinitive,
or if feminine wiles can induce the colum­nist
to chew tobacco, say "ain't", and even
become "collegiate".

So I'm thinking of throwing the battle—
"There's little in taking or giving,
There's little in water or wine;
This living, this living, this living
Was never a project of mine.
Oh, hard is the struggle, and sparse is
The gain of the one at the top,
For art is. a form of carharsis,
And love is a permanent flop,
And work.is the province of cattle,
And rest's for a clam in a shell,
So I'm thinking of throwing the battle—
Would you-kindly direct me to hell?"

79 Students Earn Degrees
In Auburn During Summer
Fourteen Degrees of Master of Science Awarded at Third Com­mencement
of Year; Dr. Willis A. Sutton is Speaker
As a concrete reward for four
years of successful work as students,
the Alabama Polytechnic Institute on
Friday, August 15, conferred degrees
upon 79 students. Fourteen of
these were degrees of master of sci­ence;
all others bachelor of science.
The degrees were conferred by Pres­ident
Bradford Knapp who was in
charge of the exercises.
It was the third commencement of-the
year, during which 308 degrees
were awarded. This includes bache­lor
of science, master of science, and
one professional degree.
The baccalaureate speaker was Dr.
Willis A. Sutton, superintendent of
schools of Atlanta, Ga. The exer­cises
closed the annual summer school
of which Dean Zebulon Judd is direc­tor.
Dr. Sutton's Address
Dr. Sutton used for his subject
"The Three Great Objectives of Ed­ucation."
Health, scholarship, and
character were named by him as
these objectives. He made an earn­est
appeal for education that liber­ates
and stimulates the mind and
permits and causes free thinking.
He said that crime costs the Amer­ican
people ten billion dollars an­nually,
and that illness costs seven
and one-half billions. These two are
five times the entire cost of the Fed­eral
government, now budgeted at
three and one-half billion dollars an­nually.
He said that the great aim
of education is to build strong,
clean, and vigorous people.
He declared that it is the duty of
Auburn Graduate
Given Promotion
; By Telephone Co.
News has reached Auburn that
Thornton G. Dowe, a Montgomery
boy who was a student in electrical
engineering a t the Alabama Poly­technic
Institute in the class of 1924
has been promoted by the Southern
Bell Telephone Company to Division
Exchange Engineer for the State of
Louisiana. He is stationed at Baton
Rouge.
Since leaving Auburn, Dowe has
risen from one position to another
and is now at the peak of his achieve­ments
to date, although his record
and his ability are such as to indi­cate
further promotion for him.
Another Auburn alumnus who is
climbing with the Telephone Com­pany
is A. L. Cameron, a recent
graduate. For some time he was
stationed at the Atlanta office but is
now doing Exchange Engineering
work at Baton Rouge.

and thereby reduce the stupen­dous
crime~bill. Education that does
not develop the right kind of charac­ter
is a failure, he declared.
Dollars vs. Humans
Turning to health, he said that
the American people are too much
concerned with material wealth and
too little concerned about men, wo­men,
and children. "In Georgia," he

Auburn Curb Market
Goes in New Quarters
In the future the Auburn curb mar­ket
will be operated in a new building
erected for this purpose. It is locat­ed
at the corner of Gay Street and
Loachapoka Avenue. The building is
32 by 22 feet and was erected by sell­ers
on the market with the .financial
backing of the Kiwanis and Rotary
Clubs of Auburn. Dr. R. S. Sugg,
county agent, and Miss Mary Bailey,
home demonstration agent, assisted in
arranging for funds and also for
erecting the building.
To make it possible, eleven farm­ers
who sell on the market each con­tributed
three days work. They are
R. L. Moore, R. H. Nunn, J. D. Web­ster,
J. C. Nunn, J. C. Nunn, Jr., Red
Whatley, R. S. Page, W. E. Thomp­son
and Mr. Foss.
To date the Auburn curb market
has met most times on the street
near the Bank of Auburn. Being out-of-
doors was a handicap during un­favorable
weather. Now that a build­ing
is available exclusively for this
purpose unfavorable weather will not
prevent meetings, Dr. Sugg said.
Tuesdays and Saturdays are regu­lar
market days. Farmers and farm
women of this section are ready to
produce larger quantities and more
products as demands increase, said
Dr. Sugg. For this reason the people
of Auburn were asked to support the
market.

said, "we have a property value of
four billion dollars. This we have
accumulated in two hundred years.
We have three million people. If
each person is Worth twenty thous­and
dollars in a lifetime we have in
Georgia a human value of sixty bil­lion
dollars against a property value
of four billion dollars. Yet we give
far more attention to property than
to people."
The speaker emphasized health.
He said that eighty j e r cent of ill­ness
is preventable and that it is the
duty of the schools and other public
institutions to teach and work so as
to prevent disease. He told how
seven years of health work in the
Atlanta schools has removed deaf­ness
and reduced the number of stu­dents
having poor vision from one
hundred eighty to thirty-two. "By
preventing and correcting illness we
prevent these troubles," he said.
Animals vi. Human*
Dr. Sutton reminded his audience
that people are greatly disturbed
over disease outbreaks in crops and
livestock but are not aroused oy hu­man
illness around them. He said
that Texas spent in three and one-half
years on animal disease out­breaks
more than has been spent for
public education in the history of the
State.
Following the invocation a quartet,
headed by Prof. John W. Brigham,
presented one number. Others in the
quartet were P. R. Bidez, Leon Creel,
and Ruth Frisbie. After the com­mencement
address a duet was sung
by Professor Brigham and Mrs. 13.

new title is one of the many offices
which he holds as director in num­erous
public utility and financial cor­porations.
He is on the board of di­rectors
of several large New York
banks.
Mr. Sloan received his B.S. degree
in electrical Engineering from Au­burn
in 1901, his M.S. degree in
1902, and returned in 1911 to be

Demonstration Agents
Hear Doctor Knapp
County home demonstration agents
of Alabama gathered here September
1 for their annual conference to make
plans for their work, heard Dr. Brad­ford
Knapp deliver an inspirational
address in which he emphasized the
need for thrift on farms in times .of
stress like the present and reminded
the workers of the important task
(confronting them in helping farm
people to overcome their difficulties.
The speaker gave illustrations from
his own experiences to show that farm
people had often successfully passed
through periods of depression. He
mentioned the years 1914-15, 1920-21,
and others.
Following Dr. Knapp's address the
42 workers attended three group con­ferences.
In one they discussed home
management under the leadership of
Miss Tfell Pickens, extension econo­mist;
in another, conferred with Miss
Dorothy Dean, specialist in clothing
and handicraft, regarding the cloth­ing
program; and in a third discus­sed
foods and nutrition with Miss
Helen Kennedy, extension nutrition­ist.
In the afternoon they made plans
for developing the projects outlined
under the direction of the district
agents, Miss May I Cureton, Miss
Ruth Dobyne, and' Miss Elizabeth
Forney.
The conference presided over by
Miss Helen Johnston, state home dem­onstration
agent, ended Tuesday,
September 1„ after a discussion of
4-H girls club work led by Miss Bess
Fleming, specialist in 4-H clubs.

Prof. Duncan and
Extension Work
Gets High Praise
Professor L. N. Duncan and ex­tension
work in agriculture and home
economics of which he is director in
Alabama were given high praise and
each expenditure of funds approved
by Dr. A. B. Graham, Federal in­spector
and extension worker of the
United States Department of Agri­culture,
Washington, at the conclu­sion
of the annual inspection.
In addition to examining accounts
Dr. Graham conferred with extension
workers and also farmers and agri­culture
leaders while he was in Au­burn.
He examined each voucher.
After completing the job he said that
the "books and accounts are in ex­cellent
condition." He commended Di­rector
Duncan on both records and
expenditures, and also for excellence
of work done.
He declared that those engaged in
the service are efficient and effec­tive,
and that they are making them­selves
useful to the mass. He found
also that business in Alabama is be­ing
coordinated with extension work.
Attention of Mr. Graham was call­ed
to the fact that Director Duncan

After living the life of a soldier for
six weeks, 198 military students from
Alabama, Georgia, Tennessee, and
other states, who are members of
the Reserve Officers Training Corps,
returned to their homes this summer
from the camp at Fort Benning, Ga.
They were students at the Ala­bama
Polytechnic Institute, the Uni­versity
of Alabama, the University
of Tennessee, and The Georgia
School of Technology. All enrolled
were members of the junior classes at
the four institutions and upon grad­uation
next May will be given com­missions
as second lieutenants in the
Officers Reserve Corps, Army of the
United States. After graduation the
students will become doctors, law­yers,
architects, farmers, teachers,
agricultural experts, and the like,
but will be ready to buckle on the
sword should war be declared.
In camp there were 112 men from
Auburn, 11 from the University of
Alabama, 23 from Tennessee, and 52
from Georgia Tech. They were or­ganized
into a batallion composed of
three units—a battery of field artil­lery,
made up entirely of Auburn
men, a company of engineers from
Auburn, Alabama, and Tennessee,
and an ordinance and signal corps
company from Georgia Tech.

aeronautical engineering option will
be especially prepared for service in
the engineering department of an
airplane manufacturing company,
the course will be not so highly spec­ialized
as to exclude the proper and
necessary subjects needed by a man
entering other divisions of the me­chanical
engineering field," he said.
"In particular, the aeronautical en­gineering
option will furnish a sound
basic training for those desirous of
associating with the aviation indus­try,
whether their primary concern
is with the manufacture of airplanes
or with their operation and main­tenance
in connection with air trans­portation,"
he added. "But the
couse has beeen so arranged that
the election of the aeronautical engi­neering
option does not preclude a
graduate's entering other phases of
the broad field of mechanical engi­neering
should occasion arise."
Meantime, many inquiries have
been received from prospective stu­dents
indicating a substantial enroll­ment
at the outset.
