Social Committee At Recent
Meeting
800 BIDS TO BE SENT OUT
Five Fraternities Will Hold
Open House to Girls Attending
Dances
Five fraternities will give house
parties during the final dances, ac-
* cording to a statement by Sabel
Shanks, chairman of the Social Committee.

one hundred and fifty girls
can be comfortably accommodated in
these houses.
The price of dance tickets has been
set at seven dollars. This will admit
one person to all five dances. A four
dollar ticket will be on sale which
will admit the purchaser to one night
dance and the day dances on that
* same day. Students not attending
": night dances but wishing to attend
__day dances may do so after purchasing
tickets at one dollar per dance. Since
this system was so successful during
the mid-term dances, the Social Committee
has decided to continue using
i t . Tickets will probably be on- sale
at two-thirty Friday afternoon, May
15th so that the customary crowd at
the door may be somewhat reduced.

on Sunday, May 3rd. All bids
must be in by this date since they

About eight hundred bids are
expected to be sent out.
The—dances will start with.a tea
dance at four o'clock on Friday afi
ternoon and will end with the farewell
ball on Saturday night. The
other dances will be on Friday night,
Saturday morning, and Saturday afternoon.
Emerson Gill and his famous orchestra
have been engaged to play
for the dances. These Cleveland
music makers are exceptionally good
..since they broadcast nightly over the
radio.

KIWANIANS HEAR LISTER HILL
* IN SPEECH ON STATE TAXATION
An equitable system of state taxation,
based upon ability to pay, was
advocated for Alabama by Congressman
Lister Hill in an address to the
Auburn Kiwanis' Club at their luncheon
Monday. He said that it is
the duty of the legislature of Alabama
to work out such a system of
taxation, which, if done, he declared
"will provide ample revenue for education
and for other duties of the
state."
Mr. Hill did not go into details regarding
taxation but merely stated
the principle which should guide the
, legislature in its deliberations on revenue
measures and a system of taxation
to provide for the needs and requirements
of public service and for
the development of the State.
He pointed to -the condition of
farmers and declared that the principle
and the practice of cooperation
should prevail among them. In teaching
the principles of cooperation and
organization he declared that a great
duty rests upon Auburn, "the center
and headquarters of the great agricultural
extension service of the
state."
The address by Mr. Hill followed a
discussion of Lee County's program
for agricultural development, the
speakers being County Agent G. H.
Bedingfield, the two teachers of vocational
agriculture, -Prof. Aubrey-
Vines of Beaureguard, and Prof. M.
F. Whatley of Smith Station, and
Prof. H. F. Gibson, critic teacher of
the Alabama Polytechnic Institute.
Each of these speakers pointed out
that a long-time program is being
promoted for the improvement and
development of farming in Lee County.
They called special attention to
their project work in which individuals
are given projects in connection
with their class work and each of
those-projects is designed for practical
success.
Congressman Hill was accompanied
to Auburn by his sister, Miss Amelia
Hill, who with Dr. and Mrs. Brad-
(Continued on page 4)
A finishing touch was put on a
thrilling game here yesterday, when
Joe Burf s single in the ninth inning
with bases loaded, -sent two runners
across the plate to give Auburn a
7-6 victory over Georgia. It was
Burt's fourth hit*of the day, and the
victory marked the fourth straight
for Auburn over the Bulldogs.
The triumph for Clifford Smith was
his third in seven days and his sixth
straight in the college circuit. He
is yet to be defeated by a> college
club. The rangy Mississippian was
not at his best against the Bulldogs
because of a small cut on a finger.
Georgia bunched hits in the second
and seventh innings to score two
runs in each inning.
Auburn scored three runs in the
fourth inning on two hits, a sacrifice
and an error. Runs were made in
the seventh and eighth innings.
With the score five to four against
them, Georgia, in the ninth /roged
ahead when a double by Mott and
Catfish Smith's homer changed the
score to-6-5, but Auburn came right
back to take the game.
Burt, with four hits, and Hitchcock,
with two, were the stars in
the attack agftinst Georgia. Key,
Mott, Fleming, Smith, and Gaston
of Georgia made two hits each.
The score by innings:
Auburn L-_- 000 300 112—7 1,1 4
Georgia D20 000 202—6 11 4
On Monday afternoon Auburn won
her third straight game from Georgia
in a game played on Drake Field
by the score of 3-1. Dunham Har-kins,
Auburn veteran, and James
Nicholson, Ga. sophomore, hooked up
in a pitchers duel? v The game was
played in fast time, lasting only one
hour and thirty minutes.
Auburn scored her first run in the
second inning, when a two base -hit
from the bat of JIarry Lloyd, an infield
out, and a base hit to score
Lloyd accounted for a run. "h. walk,
an infield but* and Lloyd's second
single accounted for another tally in
the third. The thirdr run came in
the eighth when Jimmie Hitchcock'
made a trip around the. bases after
his hot single went through the legs
of a Georgia "fielder.
. Georgia scored on a two-base hk
and a triple in the third inning, j
Prior to the game Foreman Rogers
manager of the Tiger Theatre, was
presented with an" honorary "A."
Score by innings:
Georgia 001 000 000—1 9 1
Auburn _____ 011 000 Olx—3 7" 1
The two victories gave the Tigers
a three game lead over Oglethorpe,
their nearest rival in the Dixie League.

HIGH TRIBUTE PAID
CONFEDERATE ARMY
Congressman Lister" Hill Speaks
In Langdon to Large Audie
n c e On Memorial Day
As the memorial day speaker here
Monday, Congressman Lister Hill, of
Montgomery, paid a high tribute to
the soldiers of the Confederate
Army, praising them for their honesty
of purpose, their heroism, and
their bravery; and doubting if the
cause for which they fought has become
a lost cause.
"If it were lost," said Mr. Hill,
"it has been found by Calvin -Cool-idge,
famous New Englander, who
declared recently that the federation
of states cannot endure unless the
principle of local self-government is
maintained."
The speaker said that it is easy
for the men of the South, who fought
in the Confederate Army during
1861-1864, to unite with the soldiers
of the North under the American flag
to which he referred as the "one
fl_g of the nation, unfurled by
George Washington, and destined to
live on forever.", „
He referred to the -Confederate
flag, the stars and bars, as that
which was unfurled at the beginning
of the Civil War and furled by General
Rob.. E. Lee at Appomattox.
He declared that it will continue to
live in the hearts of the heroes of
the Civil War, who at the end of the

DEAN BIGGIN GIVES ACCOUNT
OF THE A.S.C.A. CONVENTION
An account of the annual convention
of the Association of Collegiate
Schools of Architecture held recently
in San Antonio, was given by
Dean Frederic Child Biggin who attended
as a delegate from the Auburn
school of architecture and allied
arts.
During the past year a committee
of the Association of Architectural
Schools, financed by the Carnegie
Foundation, visited fifty colleges in
the United States and Canada, to
secure comparative information from
these schools on courses, methods "of
teaching, equipment,, faculty and other
matters. This committee made a
preliminary report, which showed a
healthy condition in most of the
schools examined and, an interesting
differentiation in both courses and
methods of teaching- This committee
spent several days at Auburn in
the latter part of January.
Another committee whose report
held particular interest for Auburn,
had been engaged during the past
year in examining the details of
courses offered by the various schools
under the name of "Architectural
'Engineering" or as "Construction
Options in Architecture." The report
of the committee revealed the
fact that most of these courses offer
the same training to architects and
architectural engineers in the first
two or three years of the course and
only differ in the work of the later
years.
Before the close of the convention
the proposition was advanced that
the America Institute of Architects
establish in each of the 28 recognized
schools of architecture a student
chapter, as has been done by most
of the national engineering organizations.
A committee was appointed,
composed of Dean Meeks of Yale,
Dean Young of Cornell, and Dean
Biggin of Auburn to consult with
the Board of Directors of the Institute
on the advisability of this plan,
and report'at the next annual meeting.

MAJOR KENNEDY
Major John T. Kennedy, commandant of
the Auburn R. O. T. C. unit, will make
his last appearance in an official capacity
before the student body at convocation
Thursday. Since Major Kennedy will then
address the students for the last time, all
are urged to be present.
Coming to Auburn in 1925, Major Kennedy
leaves us with an enviable record behind
him. It was largely through his efforts
that Auburn's R. 0. T. XJ. organization
has, for twelve consecutive years, won
the highest rating that the War Department
can give to an undergraduate- student
military organization.
The least that the student body could do
to express its appreciation for Major Kennedy's
splendid work here, would be to attend
the convocation Thursday. A just
tribute should be paid to a man who has
done so much for Auburn, and each student
can contribute much to- the paying of that
tribute by attending convocation tomorrow.
FINE TRACK TEAM
Practically "blushing unseen" in national
athletic activity, Auburn is the possessor
of a track team that deserves the praise
and recognition of sport fans throughout
the United States. Climaxing a series of
successful years is track, Auburn has for
the gecond consecutive time won the annual
track meet of the southeastern division of
the A. Ar U. In addition to this these
cinder stars have not ;k>st a dual meet in
nine years.
Much of the credit for this enviable record
can be attributed to Coach Wilbur H.
Hutsell. This excellent tutor, besides producing
well-balanced teams, has developed
many stars that have reached the zenith
of international fame.
The Plainsman speaks for the student
body in heaping praise on the individual
members of the track squad and their
coach. They have done much for Auburn
in the realm of sports. Of the coach it
may be said that he has the power to bring
out the best there is in an athlete.
Coach Hutsell is a leader of men. It is
this gift for leadership, plus his ability to
win the love and affection of those under
him, and his own mastery of self discipline
that has made him one of the nation's greatest
track coaches.

FIRST SEMESTER AVERAGES
Averages for the semester of this
year show a falling off in the grades of '/
Auburn students, when compared with
those of the first semester of last year.
For the semester, 1930-31, the report
of the Registrar shows that the All-
College average was 74.64, 'while for
the same period of last year, the' average
was 75.33. This is a drop of
0.69, and, although small, is very noticeable.
The enrollment this year was
1,730, however, as compared with 1,643
last year...
The members of the Senior class
were again the highest of any individ-
• ual. For -334 members of' the class,
the average was 80.77, while for 140
members last year, the average was 80.-
76. When the numbers and grades of the
classes of 1930 and 1931 are compared,
it must be admitted that, on paper,
this year's class seems to be much better
scholastically.
This year's Junior Class, numbering
355j possessed an average of only 75.08,
only slightly above the All-College average,
while 336 juniors last year had
grades of 77.36.
Although the ~ sopohomores ranked
only one hundredth of a point greater
than the average of the Sophomore
class of last year, the second year men
of this year -are third among the classes.
The sophomores were last in 1929-
30. Four hundred twenty-four members
of the Class of 1933 averaged 71.-
88; last year 432 members averaged
71.89. <i ••
A drop from £hird place in 1929-30
to last place this year was experienced
by the freshmen. The freshmen of last
year, 503 in all, averaged 72.33, while
548 freshmen this year averaged 71.30.
Notwithstanding that the averages
of most groups have dropped this year,
the average of all fraternity men during
the first semester was higher than
that made during the first -half of last
year. It is a credit to "fraternities -
* here that the average has been brought
from 75.97 to 76.05, a small increase,
but noteworthy, by virtue of the fact
that the institute cannot boast of the
grades possessed this year.
The following is a comparison be-
. tween the grades of other student
groups* for this year compared with
those of last year. The group, the
number of grades, and the average Is
given for each.

The above comparison is made merely
to show the differences between the
grades made" this (year and those of
last year. It is evident that one "of two
things has happened—either the students
are not studying as much as
they should, or the professors are
i tightening up. Take your pick.
TO STUDY TWINS
The University of California Institute
of- Child Welfare has announced that. it
will t ry to find out some facts about twins,
through observation of 750 pairs, located
in the vicinity of Berkeley.
Some phases of the inquiry include:
, Does twinning run in families, and if
so, does it come through the mother's or
father's side?
Is there a racial difference in the occurrence
of twinning?
Are twins harder to rear than single
born children?
Are disciplinary problems more or less
difficult for twins?
If-one twin becomes a model citizen—
or criminal—is his mate likely to follow
in his footsteps?
Should twins be dressed the same and
treated alike, or does this hinder development
of their individual personalities?
When the twins are males, we don't
think the 'world cares much whether they
are dressed alike or not. But a certain
set of esthetic values will be lost should
the investigation lead to the conclusion
that each of the twin.sisters is entitled to
live her own life, even as to- matters of
raiment. Two comely twin girls, each a
counterpart of the other, and dressed exactly
alike, are a pair that it is hard, not
to say impossible, to beat.

Book Review
TALES TOLD OF SHEM AND SHAUN
Three Fragments from Work in Progress
BY JAMES JOYCE
The Black Sun Press:. London
It will never do to leave Mr.'James Joyce
without a review. He is oTte of those great
revolutionary artists, who is always unappreciated
in their own times. When
they are dead it turns out we are all wrong
about them; and posterity has the laugh
on us for being so stupid. It is already
well-known that this is going to happen
with Mr. James Joyce. Any number of
people have told us how sorry we shall be
that we misjudged him; and his manuscripts,
I believe, command • unheard-of
prices. In those circumstances it would be
ungracious to remain silent. Posterity
should not be deprived of its laughter merely
because we happen -to be forewarned.
The reason we fail to appreciate Mr.
Joyce's work is ,that he is doing something
new with language. You have probably
met the fellow who treads on your toes, and-then,
with a brilliant burst of originality,
remarks, "Please, don't apologize!" This
manner of speech has a certain tradition in
literature. There is Dogberry for example,
and Mrs. Malaprop. Puns and Spoonerisms
are figures of the same order of' speech.
Before Mr. Joyce, however, no writer observed
what ah improvement they were-on
common speech. No writer took them seriously
as his own medium. No writer applied
himself, with solemn and heroic dignify";
to elaborate them, multiply them, complicate
them, counterpoint them, and do
nothing else the whole day long.
The last story in Mr. Joyce's book is called
"The Ondt and..the Gracehoper." The
deciphering of the title does not call for
great ingenuity. I remembered that Mr.
Joyce is Irish and exclaimed: "I see! The
Ant and the Grasshopper. How amusing!"
The first story is called "The Mookse and
the Gripes." This is more difficult, but,
guided by my previous experience, I decided
that Mr. Joyce is attempting to improve
on the too banal phrase, "The .Fox
and the Grapes." The middle story is a
.regular world-beater.- It is called "The
Muddest Thick I ever Heard Dump." That
stumped me: "the maddest trick I ever
heard done," perhaps. The phrase occurs
in the body of the story, and the context
may- help an agile-minded reader. The hero
is concocting an aquilittoral dryangle on a
strayed Jine:
"My faceage kink and kurkle trying to1
make keek peep. Are you right there, Michael,
are you right? Ay, I'm right here,
Nickel, and I'll write. But it's the muddiest
thick that was ever heard dump. Now
join alfa pay and pull loose by dotties and,
to be more sparematically logical, eelpie
and paleale by tunkles."
Try that on your ocarina! .

Girls are far better sleepers than men,
according to Dr. Donald Laird, expert on
the subject of sleep "and professor of psychology
at Colgate University, where a
reeent sleep survey was held.
An Intercollegiate good sleep contest was
held between the men at Colgate and the
women at Skidmore College.
Resulting figures 'show that girls have
less trouble going to sleep and wake up
fewer times during the night, are less
restless, and have fewer dreams.
In addition, fewer girls have to be called
twice in the morning and in general feel
more peppy and less grouchy and are less
foggy early in the morning.
Professor Laird attributes this to the
theory that members of the feminine sex are
neither as active physically or mentally as
men.
"Only four-hours sleep may be sufficient
to recuperate physically," he maintains,
"but mentally may need eight hours more
to be completely rested."
It seems that if it is going to require
twelve hours to properly recuperate from
our f mental activities, we had- all better
forsake this type of pastime, or pay the
penalty and sleep half our lives away.

Auburn Track Teain Again Wins First Place in A* A. U. Tournament
TIGERS ARE STILL AT
TOP OF DIXIE LEAGUE
AFTER TILTS SATURDAY
With eight victories and two defeats,
Auburn led the Dixie College
Baseball League Sunday night after
a week of spectacular play which saw
the second-place Florida vteam of a
week ago lose five of its six games
and drop into fifth position.
Auburn swept its two-game series
with Georgia, but managed to break
even with the heavy hitting crew
from Georgia Tech. Florida lost two
straight to Georgia, took.the second
game after losing the first to Georgia
Tech and then closed with two
defeats by Oglehtorpe.
Oglethorpe's win over Florida and
Mercer boosted the Petrels back into
second place, but still far behind
Sam McAllister's pace-setters from
Auburn.
Georgia Tech and Georgia were
tied at third place with six wnis and
six defeats each. Georgia's win over
Florida and Mercer enabled the Bulldogs
to pick up. the slack lost by two
defeats from Auburn.
Smith Win* Fir»t
One of the features of the week's
play came in Friday's game between
Georgia and Mercer and in which
"Catfish" Smith, Georgia's outfielder
~ and all-round athlete, took the mound
for the first time and won his game.
Smith gave up only eight hits but
walked 10 men. Smith banged out
a double in the seventh inning, which
scored a run and helped Georgia to
win.
In Saturday's. Auburn-Georgia
Tech game, Smith of Auburn, one qf_
the college's best pitchers, was
touched for seven runs in the first
inning, but remained on the mound
and hurled well for the rest of the
game, while good stick work by his
mates finally brought victory.
The standings through Saturday:
Team— W. L. Pet.
Auburn '8 .2 .800
Oglethorpe - — 7 5 .582
Georgia ^ 6 6 .500
Georgia Tech _'___ 6 6 .500
Florida- 4 6 .400
HEAVY BATS OF TIGERS ARE
DOWNFALL OF GEORGIA TECH
IN 13-8 GAME ON SATURDAY
- Atlanta, Ga., April 25.—Making
21 hits count for 13 runs after Geor-gia
Tech scored seven times in the
opening inning, Auburn evened the
two-game series with the Yellow
Jackets and continued to sit firmly
in first place in Dixie College League
by winning Saturday's slugfest, 13
to 8.
Kid Clay's Tech sluggers scored
seven tallies in the first on singles
by Waldrep, McKee, and Farmer, a
triple by Isaac's, a base on balls to
Ritchie arid costly bobbles by Burt
and Grant. They came back in the
second to annex another marker on
McKee's second bingle. Farmer's
double and Isaac's long fly to Harris
in center.
Only one other hit was obtained
off Clifford Smith after the outburst
of hits and miscues in the first and
second frames. The rangy junior and
the leading pitcher in the college loop
bearing down and blanking the Jackets
after -the second. Winning from
Georgia Tech gives Smith a record
of five wins and no defeats for the
season.
In overcoming Tech's seven-run
lead, the Ruthian Auburn Tigers
found the offerings of four Jacket
pitchers much to their liking.
Tecb Hurler* Fail
Leo Mitchum, who won from the
Plainsmen Friday, opened in the box
Saturday. "He lasted 'the first stanza.
One - ply swats by Hodges-, Riley,
Harris and Smith and Joe Burfs
timely triple scored five runs and
sent Mitchum to the showers. Everett
taking over the mound duties
at the start of the third.
Everett failed to stop the Plainsmen
and was relieved in the third
.by Henderson, who received credit
for losing the game.
Nine singles and an error byJVal-drep
in centerfield gave the winners
six runs and the lead in the third
which was never lost. Once in the
lead, Coach Sam McAllister's Bengals
looked like a real ball club,
giving Smith sensational support the
remainer of the battle.
Every player in the Auburn lineup
made one or more hits and all
except Jimmie Hitchcock hit safely
two or more times. Phil. Hodges,
who also fielded brilliantly, Charles
Kaley, Clifford Smith and Joe Burt
led the offense with three each.
Duck McKee with three for four
and Ike Farmer with two for three
were the heavy-hitters for the losers.

Egyptians Used Steel
To Cut Large Rocks
" New York — ( I P )— "How did.the
Egyptians cut those big rocks they
.used for the Pyramids?" has been a
vexing question for some centuries.
Henry D. Hibbard, a leading member
of the AmericaTi Society of Mechanical
Engineers and of the American
Institute of Mining and Metallurgical
Engineers, declares he is sure
they used steel.
"To deny the use of steel for stone
cutting by the ancient Egyptians,"
he said here recently, "is to a steel
metallurgist like denying the cutting
itself, for hardened steel is the only
substance known to man which could
have served the purpose."
He pointed out that before the
dawn of History the Egyptians made
amazing progress, for they were able
to produce beautifully carved.statues
of hard stone.

Dn Chas. P. Weaver, of the English
department, is the author of the
words of the song entitled "Dearest
Mother Mine," recently published.
The music was written by. the late
Mrs. E. L. Ashford, composer of
music for several other numbers, including
"My Task," an easy and appealing
number which has gone
around the world with her anthems
and her organ voluntaries.
"Dearest Mother Mine" promises
to become as popular as some of her
other numbers and also as some of
the numbers of which the words were
written by Dr. Weaver.
During the past several years Dr.
Weaver has written a dozen or more
songs, many of which have been for
and about colleges. His contribution
includes "Oh Here's to Wake Forest,"
a song for his Alma Mater, a
Tennessee College song, Chorman
College (N. C.) song, "Sirtopas," a
glee club song; "Love in Spring,"
"Baby Sleeps," for girls' glee clubs;
and anthems for new year and
thanksgiving. \
Dr. Weaver and Prof. John W.
Brigham, head of the music department
at Auburn, have produced "To
Sylvia."
"Dearest Mother Mine" is to be
used in radio over WAPI a£ an
early'date. It is expected to become
popular wherever introduced.

ing him secure the 'district governorship
of Lions at the final meeting' of
the 34th District Convention in Montgomery.
In very modest words, he
told members of the club that the
honor bestowed upon him was to be
considered a club honor rather than
an individual hojror altogether.
In nominating Prof. Guyton, Ed
Cotting, member of the local Club
and marfager of the local office of
the Alabama Natural Gas corporation,
called attention to the splendid
work of the past district governors
and said that the Auburn club felt
that Prof. Guyton was "the best fitted
man in the State to carry on
their achievements.
"He was picked by the Federal
Government' to go into Florida and
fight the Mediterranean fruit fly. He
did this as he has done all his other
work, successfully. Mr. Guyton is
one of the two most successful leaders
of young men on the faculty of
over 200. He may be trusted to
brilliantly" direct Alabama Lions during
the coming year."
During'the meeting a very clever
and extremely interesting mock trial
was staged, in which Chas. W. TSd-wards
took the part pf the defendant;
Ed Cotting that of the defending
attorney; Hugh Dillon that of
the prosecuting attorney; and Lt. V.
C. Finch that of the judge, while Lt.
Ci P. Townsley, W. T. Ingram took
the part of witnesses.
