JUNIOR PROM IS
JUDGED SUCCESS
BY ATTENDANTS
One Hundred And Seventy-Five
Visiting Girls Present For
the Dance Season
COMMENT FAVORABLE
New Feature Of Charging For
Day Dances Is Considered By
All As a Big Improvement
DECORATIONS GOOD
The Music Is Considered By
Many As the Best Ever En­gaged
For Auburn Dances
The Junior Prom, held Thursday,
Friday, and Saturday of last week,
is considered by many students and
visitors as the best set of dances that
Auburn has ever had. The comment
throughout the campus has been very
favorable, and Sabel Shanks, chair­man
of the Social Committee, stated
that he considered the dances very
favorable from every standpoint.
One new feature which <is con­sidered
a big improvement over the
old system is the practice of charg­ing
for the day dances. All those
concerned expressed the opinion that
due to the fact that it reduced the
number attending, it made the day
dances much more enjoyable.
One hundred and seventy-five
visiting girls were present for the
Prom, and according to Sabel Shanks
this number represented almost
every state in the South.
Much favorable comment was
heard in regard to the decorations,
and many of the compliments were
based on the simplicity of the design
used. George Brinspn and C. F.
Davis had charge of the decorations,
and according to reports they are to
be congratulated.
The music was the best that Au­burn
has ever had, is a statement
that receives almost complete agree­ment
from the student body. The
Auburn Junior Prom is the first col­lege
dance that Jimmie Green and
his orchestra ever played for, and
every member of the orchestra ex­pressed
that he was deeply impres­sed
with Auburn and Southern hos­pitality.
SPRING PRACTICE FOR
1931 FOOTBALL SQUAD
STARTED LAST MONDAY
Spring training for the Auburn
1931 football team started Monday
afternoon on Drake Field and will
continue for a month or more.
This is the first Spring training
conducted here by Chet Wynne. His
1930 team was handicapped in having
to learn the intricate Notre Dame
system in a short while, but even with
this handicap, Wynne along with his
able assistants, Earl McFaden and
Roger J. Kiley, produced a team that
won the first conference victory an­nexed
by the Plainsmen since 1926.
Rapid strides were taken up the foot-bal
ladder in 1930 and it is believed
that the Bengals will be much strong­er
next fall.
Wynne again has Kiley and Mc­Faden
to help him this year and they
well be augmented by Weems Baskin,
assistant freshman coach last season,
and Sam McAllister, head coach at
St. Viator College, Bourbonnais, 111.,"
before assuming his duties here as
assistant coach, Dec. 1. He has at­tended
several schools conducted by
Knute Rockne and will aid Wynne
after the close of the current cage
season. His hardwood artists are now
making a strong bid for the conference
crown.
The drills this year are expected
to be strenuous as over three score
reported Monday. Mostly fundamental
work will be given this season, with
blocking and tackling being stressed.

WHITE IS CHOSEN
AS PRESIDENT OF
EDUCATION CLUB
Officers Of Education Group
Elected At Meeting January
Twentieth
At the last meeting of the Education
Club, which was held January 20, new
officers were elected for the second
semester -of the present year. The
officers are as follows: L. W. White,
president; Otis S. Spears, vice-presi­dent;
F. G. McCollum, publicity man­ager
; Miss Dorothy Parker, secretary;
R. S. Parker, treasurer; and P. I.
Washington, sergeant-at-arms.
The object of the Education club is
to bring together those students who
are interested in education as a pro­fession,
and to hold discussions of gen­eral
problems in such a way that all
may benefit.
A cordial invitation is extended by
.the new president to all students in
the department of education to attend
the Club.
The first extension course in engi-.
neering conducted in Birmingham by
the Alabama Polytechnic Institute
will be taught by Charles R. Hixon,
professor of applied mechanics.
This announcement was made by
Dr. B. R. Showalter, director of the
extension teaching at Auburn, who
expressed himself as being delighted
at the prospect of arranging for this
engineering course in Birmingham.
The first session of this course in
applied mechanics will be held at
7:30 Friday evening at the Paul
Haynes High School. The course
will carry college credit for those
who desire it or will serve as splend­id
instruction for mechanical engi­neers
already in business. The course
will continue throughout the second
semester with the class meeting every
week.
Since 1908, Professor Hixon has
been a member of the engineering
faculty here. During this time he
has distinguished himself as a pro­fessor.
In addition to his present
teaching load he conducts extensive
engineering research projects in the
engineering experiment station.
L. A. Knapp Appointed
Auburn Postmaster For
Third Four-Year Term
Francis Moore Given
Foster Prize Award
In competition with other members
of her class, Miss Frances Moore, Au­burn
senior in art education,' was
awarded the prize for the best post­er
on Thrift Week, sponsored by the
local chapter of the Business and
Professional Women's Club. The
prize was $2.50 in gold.
The posters were drawn by the
class in general design, of which Miss
Marguerite Odendahl is instructor.
Judgement was made by the applied
arts faculty.
The reappointment of L. A. Knapp
as Auburn postmaster for his third
consecutive four-year term became
known Wednesday upon his receipt of
a telegram from the office of Senator
Hugo Black in Washington. The tele­gram
stated that the Senate had con­firmed
his appointment.
After serving as assistant postmas­ter
for eleven years, 1911 to 1922, Mr.
Knapp then became in full charge of
the Auburn office. Marked improve­ments
have been made in the' postal
service during his eight years as post­master.
Under his supervision a cap­able
staff of assistants has been gath­ered
together, and the Auburn office
ranks favorably in point of efficient
service with any in the state.
Beginning December 1, Mr. Knapp
added a parcel post delivery service.

Clemson College, S. C.—Battling
furiously from the opening tap-off,
the Clemson College Tigers Monday
night turned back a gallant Auburn
basketball team, 37 to 33, in a South­ern
Conference game.
Led by Gibson, the Clemson quint
hit the cords 16 times for two-point­ers,
while Auburn's star sharpshoot­ers
were limited to 13 field goals.
The game marked the second vic­tory
in six starts for Clemson, while
it was Auburn's second defeat in
six starts.
Frock Pate and Stewart were the
scoring stars for the visitors, the
former ringing three field goals and
the latter accounting for eight points.
Auburn used 10 men in a vain at­tempt
to capture the game.

Suitable Schedule Cannot Be

Trip
- The Auburn Glee Club will not
make its annual trip February 10, as
scheduled, it was announced last
Monday by Professor J. W. Brig-ham.
Under the present conditions
it has proven difficult for the officers
of the club to schedule a trip that
would not necessitate excessive trav­eling,
and because of this fact it is
probably true that the club will not
make a trip before April. A sched­ule
is being worked on, however,
and if it materializes the Auburn
Glee Club will have done a lot of
worthwhile things before the year is
out, it was stated by Professor Brig-ham,
but nothing further was an­nounced
concerning his plans.
At the present the club is rehears­ing
old selections, and has started
work on a comedy written in part by
Professor Brigham for the use of the
Auburn Glee Club. The name of
the comedy is "Romeo and Juliet",
and the opinion expressed by several
members of the club is that it will
be very well received.
It is the intention of Professor
Brigham to allow several members
of the club to join the Choral Socie­ty,
the object of which will be to
give additional opportunities for
practice, and to enlarge the society.

President Knapp Gives Parting
Words to Mid-Semester Grads
Parting words from Auburn's
president; Dr. Bradford Knapp, were
given the Auburn graduates who
took their degrees Thursday evening
at the mid-year commencement exer­cises
in Langdon Hall. This was the
second annual mid-year commence­ment
held at the Alabama Polytech­nic
Institute.
The exercises opened with an in­vocation
by the Reverend Samuel B.
Hay, Presbyterian minister. Music
was furnished by the Auburn String
Quartet, directed by Dr. Duncan G.
Harkins. President Knapp then ad­dressed
the graduates. The candi­dates
were presented by the various
deans to Dr. Knapp who awarded the
diplomas.
The following are those who re­ceived
degrees:
Bachelor of Science in Electrical
Engineering
Wm. H. Eagar, Montgomery.
George Killough Lewis, Auburn.
Bachelor of Science in Mechani­cal
Engineering
Hampton Lee Green.
Bachelor of Architecture
Fred M. Renneker, Birmingham.

A rigid, two-day inspection of the
school or architecture and allied arts
was completed Thursday afternoon by
Dean Franke Hutington Bosworth of
Cornell University and Prof. Roy
Childs Jones of the University of
Minnesota. As a special committee
of the Association of Collegiate
Schools of Architecture and Carnegie
Foundation, these two educators are
examining and reporting on the prin­cipal
architectural schools in the Unit­ed
States and Canada.
From Auburn they went to Tulane
University and will continue on to
the Pacific Coast.
A luncheon was given for the visit­ing

Auburn's hardwood artists have re­turned
to the Plains and are ready
for their game here Wednesday
night against a team that is now
rated as one of the leaders in the
Southern Conference—Georgia Tech.
The Auburn-Tech game will get
underway at 7:30 o'clock and is ex­pected
to be one of the feature games
played in the conference during the
week. The Yellow Jackets took i^
on the chin regularly when the season
first opened, but a little shaking up
by Roy MundrofF has worked wond­ers
with them and they now stand
out with the top-notchers.
Tech has the leading scorer in the
conference in Pa Perkins and also
have a star guard in Capt. Ginny
Wages. These boys have been the
mainstays for the Jackets this year,
but they have been ably aided in
their recent spurt by Gooding, Jones,
Raines, the All-American prep school
center from Vienna, Ga.; Herorn and
McArthur. All these men are capable
basketeers who failed to get going in
early season but who are are function­ing
on every cylinder on the last few
games.
Wednesday night's battle is a toss-up
at present. Tech will enter the
game in the best physical condition
because they have not played since
defeating Tennessee last week, 49 to
29, while Sam McAllister's team re­turned
from their trip Tuesday morn­ing
and probably will be a little worn^,
out after hard games with the Bull­dogs,
Gamecocks and Purple Tigers.
However, if the Tigers are not suf­fering
with injuries, they will be able
to put up a good fight.
Jack Stewart at center and Lind-ley
Hatfield and Charles Kaley at
guards are almost sure starters
against Georgia Tech Wednesday
night, but who will open at the wor-fard
berths has not been decided.
Capt. Ralph Jordan and Sam Mason
might get the call or McAllister
might choose his two goal shooters
from Tom "Little Papa" Lumpkin,
Frock Pate or George Jenkins. Pick­ing
the best working combination for
the forward merths has created quite
a problem for the Plainsman mentor.

"This country," said Mr. Norris,

NEW PSYCHOLOGY
COURSE OFFERED
Professor Van Wagenen To
Teach Education Subject
Added To Courses
A course in applied psychology is
being offered for the second semester
of the present session. It is being
taught by Professor Noel Van Wage­nen
of the School of Education. The
course, as outlined by Professor Van
Wagenen will begin with personal
psychology. This division of tjhe work
being completed, business, industrial,
medical, and legal psychology will fol­low
in the order named.
The aid is to present the most prac­tical
information about the application
of psychology in business and profes­sional
affairs, he said. This means
that townspeople and others who are
not regular students at Auburn may
be interested in taking the course
either for information or for credit,"
he added. It will be a 3-hour credit
course. The schedule for it has not
been arranged. This was delayed in
order to arrange for the convenience
of those who enroll.
It is suggested that those wishing
to enroll for this course call Professor
Van Wagenen, whose office phone is
333.
Fifteen Delegates And Visiting
Officers To Be In Attendance
At Installation
Petition of Beta Alpha Sigma,
local honorary fraternity for Busi­ness
Administration students, has
been accepted by Delta Sigma Pi, a
national professional and Business
Administration fraternity. The local
organization, which was founded four
years ago by members of the student
body in collaboration with faculty
members, derives its members from
juniors and seniors in the department
of Business Administration who have
obtained the best grades and have
the best all around standing. Its
members are truly the outstanding
men of this department. Election to
this honorary fraternit y has been
held in the fall and spring of each
.school year.
Delta Sigma Pi was founded at
New York University in 1907. Its
purpose is to "foster the study of
business in univeristies, to encour­age
scholarship, and to promote clos­er
affiliation between the commercial
world and students of commerce." It
has 48 chapters whose membership
totals 6,250. A central office, which
maintains a full time staff, is located
in Chicago.
Approximately fifteen delegates
from the main office and neighboring
chapters will install the chapter here
on about the fifteenth of March. Fol­lowing
the initiation there will be a
banquet to the members.
The active members of Beta Alpha
Sigma who will be initiated into Del­ta
Sigma Pi are: Sabel Shanks, pres­ident;
John Quinn, vice-president;
Hugh P. Henderson, secretary; Jack
Capell, treasurer; J. F. Jones, C. S.
Davis, M. D. McCain, Sam Fort,
Herbert Hogue, W. M. Keller, A. R.
Wilder, Thomas Coleman, Fred Har­dy,
Jo Anderson, C. L. Gholston,
Victor White, and Professors J. H.
Goff and C. P. Austin.

Contract for construction of a new
school building for Auburn was
formally let Friday by the Lee Coun­ty
Board of Education to the Snall-ings
Lumber Company, of Phenix
City, at a cost of $101,998. Work
is to begin at once and the building
will be completed in July. Announ­cement
is made by W. Y. Fleming,
county superintendent of education.
The new building will be located
two blocks east of the South end of
Gay street, on a ten acre lot. It
will be thoroughly modern in every
appointment and one of the most
beautiful in the State.
The school has been taken over by
the County Board, on request of Au­burn
school authorities and is to ser­ve
a school district of unusual size.
It is understood the present High
School Building in Auburn is for
sale, also the present grammar school,
as both, institutions are to be com­bined
in the new structure, which is
to be especially equipped for such
service. In addition there is to be a
Vocational Training building, smaller
than the main structure, and this is
included in contract.
Construction of the new building
is calculated to provide considerable
employment to the relief of this im­mediate
section.

DELTA SIGMA PI
A new national honor fraternity, Delta
Sigma Pi, is to be installed on the campus,
replacing Beta Alpha Sigma, local honor
fraternity of the school of Business Ad­ministration.
The granting of the petition
came as a reward for the efforts of the local
group, and the rapid progress of the De­partment,
which is yet comparatively young.
This national honorary and professional
fraternity will take its place along with
the organization of the Schools of engineer­ing,
carrying equal prestige.
The Plainsman wishes to welcome this
fraternity to the campus, and to congratu­late
the School of Business Administration
and those leaders of Beta Alpha Sigma who
are directly responsible for the installation.
THE DANCES
In our estimation, the recent Junior Prom
may well be acclaimed the most successful
set of dances ever given, and the Social
Committee is in line for congratulations
from the entire student body for its work.
The music furnished by Jimmy Green
and his orchestra was above the vaguest
whisper of reproach and was said by many
to have been the best orchestra ever heard
on the campus. The decorations were in
harmony with the music and the spirit of
the dancers was reflected in the modernistic
designs. The conduct of students and vis­itors
during the week-end was of the best
and nothing which might be termed detri­mental
to the institution happened. Even
the weather seemed anxious to lend itself
to the gayety of the occasion.
However, there was one factor which
we believe might well be taken into serious
consideration by the Social Committee when
it makes its plans for future dances. We
refer to the long wait in the line that was
necessary before a ticket could be obtained,
and the subsequent waiting at each dance
to get the stub necessary to gain admittance
to the floor. According to an announcement
made in the last issue of this paper prior
to the dance, it would have been possible
to buy a ticket at one of the stores in town
a day or so in advance of the dances. .How­ever,
this was not done, and, consequently,
it was necessary to wait in line quite a
while Thursday night to get tickets. Since
these tickets were held by the Social Com­mittee
instead of being given to the buyer,
a repetition of the line of the first night
was necessary during the dances Friday
and Saturday.
While we do not question the advisability
of any reasonable actions of the Committee,
we fail to see the necessity of the long
lines before each dance, and we believe that
it woud be to the advantage of everyone if
the Social Committee would take steps to
remedy the situation at the next set of
dances.
live than it has to do with the intellectual
life.
Twenty years from now "students will be
personally responsible for their education,
which will begin with their interests and
come to a preliminary conclusion when they
have reached such a degree of intellectual
understanding as will make it possible for
them to go the rest of the way alone." This
means that the keynote of higher education
will be borrowed from adult education,
which stresses the interests of students as a
point of beginning rather than hard-and-fast
assumptions for formulists super-im­posing
on learners what ought to be good
for them.
Dr. Hart is one of this country's leaders
in the field of adult education. His study
of what has been done on this score in
Denmark has thrown a revealing light on
possibilities in the United States. Further­more,
as an educator who has been greatly
concerned with the social implications of
his work, he is interested in bringing edu­cation
and life together, in removing the
arbitrary barriers which have kept them
apart, in humanizing the machinery of scho­larship
for the benefit of those who refuse
to vegetate mentally and spiritually, who
wish to build more and more stately man­sions
of knowledge and creativeness for
their souls.
It is because he realizes that all of us
are not thus avid for wider horizons that
Dr. Hart goes on to speak of the highly
necessary differentiation which must pre­vail
in our educational scheme. "There
will be different kinds of education for dif­ferent
people, according to what they
want," he declares. "The liberal arts col­lege
will have a smaller student body and
will admit only those who have native en­dowment
and are prepared to give time and
energy to the effort to become, in an intel­lectual
sense, citizens of the whole human
story."
Here is another voice sounding the doc­trine
which Everett Dean Martin laid down
in his recent lecture in Birmingham, which
was not an appeal for "classic fundament­alism,"
as some listeners have concluded,
but for the realization, first, that it is folly
to insist that all persons should be given
the same training, and secondly, that it is
folly to regard our life, so far as its finest
values are concerned, as essentially distinct
from earlier and noble chapters in the hu­man
story. Incidentally, the experimental
college at Wisconsin, under Alexander Meik-lejohn's
direction, by giving freshmen a
consciousness of the similarities of the
Greek experience and the American experi­ence,
is clearly a step toward the .goal en­visaged
by Dr. Hart.
COLLEGE OF THE FUTURE
Twenty years from now, says Dr. Joseph
K. Hart, of Vanderbilt University, the col­lege
curriculum will consist of "the inter­ested
activities of students as they try
to understand the world in which they live."
This program will supplant the current
system, which, it must be noted, contains
altogether too much of "the interested ac­tivities
of students," but of a frivolous va­riety
which has no more to do with an at­tempt
to understand the world in which they

They have gone, Jimmie Green and the
girls, leaving behind fond memories and
the echoes of music that shall live as clas­sic

was laughter, happiness, the swish of eve­ning

dignity of tuexdos. All were blended to­gether

When a trout rising to a fly gets hooked
on' a line finds itself unable to swim about
freely, it begins a fight which results in
struggles and splashes and sometimes an
escape. Often, of course, the situation is
too tough for him.
In the same way the human being strug­gles
with his environment and with the
hooks that catch him. Sometimes he mas­ters
his difficulties; sometimes they are
too much for him. His struggles are all
that the world sees and it usually misun­derstands
them. It is hard for a free fish
to understand what is happening to a hook­ed
one.—Dr. Karl Menninger.
It is one of the humiliating features of
human nature that we resent a few little

The examinations are behind us. The
records are there. They have been made
by the students. In a very important sense
they are your records. Speaking of the
entire semester behind us the record seems
to me to be good. I believe that students
have been as carefully mindful of their ob­ligations
as during any other semester. The
very atmosphere of the present national
and international crisis I am sure has made
us all a little more soberly devoted to earn­est
things and to real values than we were
when times were more prosperous.
The new semester is ahead of us. If
there is any fault on the part of students
generally and particularly young students
it is procrastination. Students will delay
getting to work on the new subjects. They
will fool away their time for a week or so
not realiing that they are piling up bur­dens
which often become an impossible ob­stacle
to making good grades. Start now
and clean up every day's work as you go.
Let no delays hamper your work for this
semester.

A single life is after all a very short
span of time. It passes rapidly. The fur­ther
we go the quicker the time flies. The
sad part about it is we only have one life
to live. The sadness and grief when the
Angel of Death visits the house of our
friends, relatives, or neighbors is a con­stant
reminder of this great uncertainty
we call life. I have but little patience with
those who think there can be no joy in life
and much less for those who are unwilling
to face the sterner, sadder side of it. The
old saying about making the most of one's
self is hackneyed but terribly true. There
is no way to go back and do part of it
over again. There is only the opportunity
to live that which lies ahead so that we
may not be filled with regret when that be­comes
a part of the past also. It has al­ways
seeme'd to me that there is a possibil­ity
of getting a lot out of one's life through
the joy of friendship, the love of those
who are nearest and dearest to you and at
least some consciousness that you have been
reasonably unselfish in your relations to
all men. Every day we have our conflicts
and contrasts, joy in one thing and sad­ness
in another, opportunity here and neg­lect
there. If there is any good purpose
in a time of so-called depression it is the
fine influence it exerts upon us n maiking
us face some of the sterner realities which
are ahead.
You are facing a semester. That semes­ter
is an opportunity. You will never face
the same opportunity again. What are
you going to do with it? I am torn with
conflicting emotions, an infinite sympathy
for those in bereavement, a feeling of sad­ness
over the failures of those who have
had to drop out of school, and yet a feeling
of hope and a prayer that the lessons of
the past may be taken seriously and earn­estly.
It is not unheard of, either, that religion,
the mainspring of man's rising above him­self,
is used by children's elders as a meth­od
for crushing them into conformity.
Should they glimpse the fact that Christ
and the saints did not conform, they will
pretty soon be made to realie that Christ
and the saints are in a world apart, and
good little children ought to be satisfied
with doing what they are told to do.—
Ernest Dimnet.
Mother Goose establishes for babies, who

GEE! TOO BAD
Just imagine twenty beauties being burn­ed
all in one little fire. Not in the flesh of
course, but only in the absolved wood. Good
old absolved wood. Not Ben Bernie speak­ing.
You see it all came about like this:
The Phi Delta Theta house at Emory re­cently
burned to the ground, and there were
completely demolished twenty pictures, por­traits,
photos, snapshots, tintypes, and even
a few daguerreotypes of beauties that had
been turned in for the 1931 edition of their
annual booklet. We do not wish to under­estimate
the loss of the house, and are very
sorry that it occurred. But, if one looks
at the beauties' side of the affair, he finds
a great loss there. Just look at the paper,
once fine enough; look at the lipstick and
other means of remodeling the hen's face,
(that remark means trouble) and don't for­get
the coy smiles and painful expressions
and postures that must again be secured

or not. Being a member of the faculty
he wouldn't dare admit any such lack on
his part or his fellow cohorts. As for love

COST OF FOUR YEARS IN COLLEGE
According to a recent report, printed in
the Technique, it costs only $9,200 a stu­dent
for four years of collegiate study.
This report was rendered by the Connecti­cut
Agricultural College and includes col­lege
fees, loss each student suffers from
loss of earnings, and contributions by state
and federal governments. According to the
estimates the greatest expense if the loss
of earnings, which is a conservative aver­age
of $100.00 a month. Each time a stu­dent
cuts class, he is cheating himself out
of about $3.10 worth of education. Gee,
some students sure get gipped even in the
class room for some of the hours spent.
This is touching: "The cost of a student
failing in a course, yielding three credits
a semester, is $186.00." What a loss, and
it shouldn't exceed $9,200.

A plan for the removing the State Schools

for the abolition of the several Boards of
Trustees that are now extant and the es­tablishment
of one Board which shall have
ten members, one appointed every two years
by the governor for a period of ten years.
Vacancies on the board would be filled by
the Supreme Court. Who's the guy that

GONE ARE the dances. And post­poned

After the smoke has blown from
the field one sees the survivors, some satis­fied,
others disgruntled. Many are miss­ing.
The acid test of examinations accom­plished
a separation of the sheep from the
goats. The professors have adopted a self-satisfied
air, and one misses the malignant
gleam that so evilly glimmered in their
revengeful eyes before the exams.
* * * * *
Why is it that so many people revere pa­triotism
as an uplifting doctrine? Is not
potential rivalry between nations a prime
cause of conflicts? Each principality teaches
its people to respect it as the most glorious
country on earth. It was the undying love
of the German people for the Fatherland
that promulgated and prolonged the World
War. This love had been instilled into the
Germans through the teachings of Fried-rich
Nietszche and Heinrich von Treitsche.
Without patriotism the War could scarcely
have been carried on. Each combatant on
both sides had been led to believe that his
country was dearer than life itself, and he
willingly gave up his all for that country
which he adored, that country run by
wealth-seeking capitalists and crooked poli­ticians
who had bull-dozed the patriotic
soldier into death that the shekels might
flow faster. And this was not true of
Germany alone. International peace will
never exist in harmony with patriotism and
nationalism.

Book Review
"CAKES AND ALE: or THE SKELETON
IN THE CUPBOARD"
By W. SOMERSET MAUGHAM
Doubleday, Doran—1930.
"Cakes and Ale: or The Skeleton in the
Cupboard" is the latest novel of W. Somer­set
Maugham who is probably best known
for his novel, "Of Human Bondage." The
latter book was written in the days of the
war and remained practically untouched by
the reading public until it was acclaimed
by critics some years later as a masterpiece.
From then on, the author's popularity was
assured, and I am certain that "Cakes and
Ale" will augment considerably the success
of this brilliant artist.
His new book is the supposed biography
of an English author, Edward Driffield.
The principal interest in the story centers
around his first wife, Rosie, who before her
marriage, was a barmaid in a country tav­ern.
She is an unusually attractive woman,
and her simple and understanding person­ality
wins her numerous admirers for whom
she showed affection in her own peculiar
manner. Her ethics might at first seem
very doubtful to most of us, conventional
souls that we are, but I venture to say
that the reader, as he reads further and
knows her better, will dismiss an impression
that Rosie is coarsely licentious. She is en­dowed
with a potential uplifting power
which sustains and elevates her lovers.
Driffield's success in his work depends
largely on Rosie's influence; she inspires
him with her invigorating spirit. Later on,
when his is approaching the peak of his
career, Rosie leaves him and goes to Ameri­ca
with her favorite lover. From that day
on, Driffield's literary talents become ster­ile.
He marries again, but he seems to
accept his wife as a matter of course. The
second Mrs. Driffield concentrates all her
efforts to bring her husband into the public
eye, and she does succeed through the me­dium
of receptions, soirees, and what-nots.
All this, Driffield endures with a submissive
patience until his death. Rosie, when last
heard of, is nearing the age of seventy,
still attractive, and still entertaining lovers.
Maugham's style is unusually restful. I
felt as though he were" sitting in a chair
beside me smoking a pipe and telling me
the story. His characterizations are inter­estingly
detailed and, hence, vivid and life­like.
"Cakes and Ale" rates far above the
average book of it's type; my interest never
waned at is invariably does when I read
the usual biographies. It is fiction, but it
reads as if it were dealing with real people
and incidents. This is one book I shall
re-read.

WEDNESDAY, JANUARY 28, 1931 THE PLAINSMAN PAGE THREE
ASK LEGISLATORS TO SURVEY
TEXAS A. & M. HAZING PROBLEM
College Station, Texas—(IP)—In
order that the exact conditions in
respect to hazing at A. & M. College
of Texas may be clear in t h e public
mind, the senior cl#ss of the. college
has invited a committee of Texas
legislators" to make a thorough per­sonal
survey of the situation.
Motion to t h a t effect was adopted
recently at a class meeting, follow­ing
close on t h e heels of the publi­cation
in the undergraduate news­paper—
The Battalion—of extracts
from letters received by President
T. O. Walton from various quarters
in which the writers censured, and in
some instances severely denounced,
certain alleged practices which, they
set forth, they had been advised ex­isted
as forms of hazing a t t h e school.
The seniors expressed the belief
that the legislative investigation
would serve to stop such rumors, in­asmuch
as it is contended by t h e stu­dents
that no serious forms of haz­ing
exist on the campus.
The action of the senior class was
first suggested in an editorial in t he
Battalion, of which Robert L. Herb­e
r t is editor.
President Walton expressed entire
approval of the action of the senior
class, declaring that he also believed
a survey by the legislative committee
would do much to clear up unfound­ed
rumors.
"The seniors in voting for t h e in­vestigation,
showed their attitude to­ward
hazing," he said.

Woman Flier Wants
Aviation Courses
In Girls' Schools
New Y o r k — ( I P )— Women's Col­leges
in-the United States should in­clude
courses in t h e theory of flight,
Ruth Nichols, woman flier who r e ­cently
bettered Col. Lindbergh's time
across the continent, told members
of the Wellesley College alumnae as­sociation,
here recently. Miss Nich­ols
is a graduate of Wellesley.
She declared that she believed in
women flying because "by showing
the fragile sex can do it, i t proves it
must be easy." After a generation,
or two, she intimated, flying may lead
to obtaining contact with other cos­mic
bodies. Another use for flying,
she said, is to aid in t h e development
of a philosophy of life.
Color Line Is Not
Predominant In U. S.
Westfield, N. J . — ( I P ) — The so-called
"color-line" is no more .pre­dominant
in America than it is in
Great Britain or even in Africa,
Langston Highes, internationally
known 29-year-old Negro poet and
novelist, said here recently.
"There are many places in Africa
where a Negro cannot go," he said,
"and that's supposed to be a Black
man's country."
In spite of his youth, Hughes, who
worked his own way through college
after graduating from high school in
Cleveland, has traveled extensively,
visiting four continents and many of
the West Indies, all on "bumming"
trips. His l a t e s t work, "Not Without
Laughter," has been translated into
several languages.

New Type Engagement
Adopted At Ohio State
Columbus, O. — ( I P ) — According
to a story published here in the Co­lumbus
Dispatch, Ohio State Univer­sity
students have adopted as the
latest rage that of "companionate en­gagements".
The plan, according to t h e story, is
for the boys and girls to become en­gaged,
the boy pinning his f r a t pin
on the co-ed. Then each is free to
have dates with everyone else,- just
so he or she is available to t h e other
for the important events on t h e camp­us,
and f o r such other little events as
one or the other may desire from
time to time.
All of which, t h e students said when
they read the story, sounds like a
new name for a very old custom.
Einstein Charges Three
Dollars For Autograph
Pasadena, C a l i f . — ( I P )— Were he
to grant all the requests for auto­graphs

accomplish whatever it is he came
here to accomplish.
But Mrs. Einstein revealed recent­ly
that folks are anxious enough to
have his autograph to be willing to
pay, say $3 a piece for them, he will
be glad to sign.
But don't get t h e idea that this is
a sudden commercial inspiration on
the part of the famous German. The
money all will go to t h e poor in Ber­lin,

Japan To Adopt Roman
Alphabet Is Prediction
Tokio, Japan — ( I P ) — Adoption
of the Roman alphabet for t h e Japa­nese
language is being predicted here
by educational leaders, although it is
recognized that" the present Chinese
characters will be retained for liter­ary
and historical purposes.
As a move in this direction, it is
pointed out, every high school in J a ­pan
now teaches English, even in t he
rural districts, and school attendance
is compulsory for children until th'ey
a t t a in the age of 14 years. Thus
within a generation, practically the
entire population will have learned
the Roman alphabet, and i ts applica­tion
to the native language will be
only a matter of course.

Wilson as the university's exe­cutive

Students Strike When
Three Are Expelled
Buenos Aires — ( I P ) — As a pro­test
against the expulsion of three
students and the arrest of thirty
others following almost" daily riots,
the university students here have pro­longed
their strike until Feb. 20.
Followers of former President I r i -
goyen are charged with making po­litical
use of the students, inducing
them to commit acts of violence. Ri­ots
occur every time any faculty
member attempts to conduct examin­ations.
It is considered significant
that of the 30 agitators protesting
against the examination in the medi­cal
school recently, only one was a
medical student.
The chief of police has notified
relatives of the a r r e s t of the 30 stu­dents,
but has not told what punish­ment
is to be meted out to them.

Prof. Gets Tunney
Military Position
New Haven, Conn. — ( I P ) — Pro­fessor
William Lyon Phelps, of Yale
University, a close personal .friend
of the former heavyweight fight
champion, had something to do with
the appointment of "Gene" Tunney
to the military staff of Governor
•Cross, it was revealed when Prof.
Phelps wrote to a local newspaper as
follows:
" I see t h a t in your paper it was
stated that I did not suggest Mr.
Tunney to Mr. Cross as an appoint­ment
to his staff. This is t r u e , but
when Mr. Cross asked me about it,
I not only said that it would be a
sensational appointment, but I also
said that it would be a splendid ap­pointment."
Gov. Cross is former dean of t he
Yale graduate school. At his recent
inauguration, his chief of staff, Mr.
Tunney, received as much of the
crowd's applause as did the popular
new governor.

Indians have lived continuously in
what is now southwestern United
States since 1,500 B. C . he said.
Until about the time of Christ they
lived a roving life hunting game and
subsisting on wild fruits and berries.
After that, he said, they learned
how to raise corn, and thus assured
of a food supply, began to settle
down.

Times says that modern women with
their ideas of the equality of the
sexes could learn much from a study
of the women of t h e Mayan civiliza­tion,
which flourished in Yucatan in
prehistoric times, according to r e ­cent
reports from Dr. Franz Blom,
German archeologist, who is a t t he
head of an expedition excavating in
the ruins of the ancient city of Ux-mal.
"There was no equality of the
sexes in the ancient civilization," the
Times continues. "But i t was n o t
man who ruled—it was woman. Wo-

Connecticut Being Sued
For Million By Indians
Norwich, Conn. — ( I P ) — The last
of the Mohegans are on t h e warpath.
They have fared forth to fight
what they term encroachment of t he
white man on their hallowed pre­cincts
and they have armed them­selves
with the legal weapons of their
pale-face brethren, instead of the
more destructive instruments of their
forefathers.
The Monegans, or their descend­ants,
have brought suit in Superior
court against the S t a t e of Connecti­cut,
its a t t o r n e y general, the city and
town of Norwich and others, demand­ing
$1,000,000 for t h e alleged desec­ration
of a small Indian burial
ground near here, in which the body
of the great Sachem, Chief Uncas,
supposedly is buried.
man held complete dominion over
man, and did in general as she pleas­ed
without hindrance.
"One striking characteristic of t he
Mayan woman, according to the a r -
cheologist's findings, was that she
was a heavy drinker—but no man
was allowed to drink until he had
passed the age of 60. ,The favorite
drink was a concoction of honey,
water and a certain wild herb mix­t
u r e which had a high alcoholic con­tent.
The women drank this regu­larly,
but t h e man who was caught
with even the odor of liquor on his
breath was subject to immediate cor­poral
punishment. Some men did
drink in secret, Dr. Blom says, but
had to resort to a strong but inof­fensive
herb to destroy the odor on
their breath.
"Woman at t h a t time was the suit­or.
Woman alone had the right of
divorce whenever it pleased her to
be free of a man. There was no
polygamy, but women had t h e right
of free love, which was denied to
men."

FUTURE CIVILIZATION DISCUSSED
BY UNIVERSITY OF CHICAGO PROF.
Chicago, 111. — ( I P )— A future in
which man will live in urbanized com­munities
surrounded by forests,
speaking one common language and
many specialized languages; where
poverty is abolished, and "plumbers
will discuss Aristotle," and where
morals have lost their force' and the
home its supremacy, is pictured by
Dr. Wm. F. Ogburn, ^professor of
sociology at the University of Chica­go.
"The future society of man," says
Dr. Ogburn, "will be one where the
number of inventions per year will be
larger and larger and where the ac­cumulation
of civilization and materi­al
culture will be greater and great­er.
A person could once get pretty
well acquainted with his culture at
16 or 17 years of age, but in the fut­ure
it will require 40 or 45 years.
"Most persons will not try to
learn it all, but will become special­ists
and will speak, in addition to
their specialist's language, a common
language popularized by the great
agencies of communication, the talk-ies,
the radio, newspapers and liter­ature.
"There is no period of quiet and
peace ahead, but rather one of con­tinual
change. This condition of
change will change our code of mor­als,
for the past cannot offer guid­ance
for an ever-changing society.
Right and wrong will give way before
social expediency. Also the majesty
of the law will lose its prestige, for
laws are difficult to build up in a
changing society."
UNEMPLOYMENT AID
IS DISCUSSED AGAIN
AT MEETING OF LIONS
(Continued from page 1)
ty, was formed, at the suggestion of
the governor, "to investigate and re­port
on unemployment conditions."
Starling facts were revealed about
unemployment in sections of the
county where conditions are most se­vere.
It was reported that Phenix
City is perhaps in worse condition as
a result of unemployment than any
other locality investigated. Ninety
per cent of the population of 14,000
of the town were formerly employed
in Columbus, Georgia mills, the
greater portion of which are now
idle. Extensive relief work is now
being conducted in the Phenix City
area, and conditions are being great­ly
improved, he continued in his re­port.
After a discussion of the condi­tions
existing as a result of the un­employment
situation, the committee
disbanded until information could be
obtained regarding the number of
unemployed and their places or resi­dence,
it was stated.
Professor "Baldy" Roe entertained
members of the club for the remaind­er
of the meeting with humorous ac­counts
of his experiences during his
tour of Europe. He also brought out
many interesting facts about the
Europe of today and the people who
inhabit some of the larger countries
of that continent.

Humor Editor Takes
Bride-Mother-in-Law
Two very emphatic figures in the
magazine world—H. L. Mencken and
H. N. Swanson—have cast aside their
cherished idea that it is "a man's bus­iness
to remain unmarried." For,
early in April, Ruth Eveyn Taylor,
petite, piquant, and pretty, will be­come
the bride of the six foot blond
giant, H. N. Swanson, editorial di­rector
of College Humor and Ameri­ca's
youngest magazine editor.
Though responsible for the publica­tion
of many mother-in-law jokes, Mr.
Swanson, it seems, has a craving to
taste his own medicine.
Mr. Swanson may be said to be one
of the trail blazers in a new trend of
American letters, as distinctive in it's
way as the syncopated rhythms of
jass music. His marriage follows six
months after the nuptials of that oth­er
confirmed bachelor, H. L. Mencken
and Miss Sara Haardt. The careers
of Mr. Mencken and Mr. Swanson
have many points of contact though
Mr. Mencken is, of course, his senior.
Each has been the subject of much
•controversy by critics, and each ach­ieved
fame through originality, and
independence of ideas.
Miss Taylor is the daughter of Mr.
and Mrs. Arthur E. Taylor of 1400
Lake Shore Drive, Chicago, formerly
of Kansas City, Mo. The was an­nounced
at a dinne dance at the Drake
hotel on January 10th, followed by a
reception. Miss Taylor is an alumna
of the National Park Seminary,
Washington, D. C, and made her de­but
in 1925 at Kansas City. She is
a member of the Junior League, prom­inent
in its activities. Like most mod­ern
girls, Miss Taylor is a skilled
athlete. She is an unusually fine
horsewoman and is often seen at the
Chicago Riding Club, that organiza­tion
sponsored by Chicago's fashion­ables.
Her father is an executive of
the Colgate-Palmolive-Peet corpora­tion.
In 1922 Br. Swanson was graduat­ed
from Grinnell College. Among his
Chicago clubs he lists the Cliff
Dwellers, Lake Shore Athletic, Chi­cago
Town and Tennis and the Tav­ern.
He is a familiar figure on the
boulevard and at fashionable gather­ings.
In addition to his editorial du­ties,
he is also vice-president of the
Collegiate World Publishing Com­pany.
In nine years he has accom­plished
as much as many brainy men
achieve in thirty. .
Mr. Swanson is co-author of "Big
Business Girl," a best selling novel
of the past season, which is now be­ing
produced as a feature sound pic­ture
by Warner Brothers at their Hol­lywood
studios.
EGYPTIAN FARMERS HARD HIT
STATES LETTER TO PREXY
(Continued from page 1)
"I think the rent is out of line
with the price of cotton. Most of
the land is rented for cash. The
landloard wants about 6 per cent on
his investment so the rent is very
high. The land is valued at about
$1000 to $2500 per acre. You can
see with the present price of cotton
what this means.
"Many poor farmers who have
worked all spring and summer will
have to live on cooked alfalfa and
other greens this winter. It is sure­ly
a hard life. The poorest farmer
in the South has a much better lot
than the Egyptian farmer. It makes
one love the old U. S. A. more every
day."
Mr. Norris is an ex-county agent
m Oklahoma. It was there that he
and Dr. Knapp became personal
friends while Dr. Knapp was presi­dent
of the Oklahoma A. and M.
College. Leaving Oklahoma, he went
with the U. S. Department of Agri­culture
and is now in Egypt making
a special study of the Egyptian cot­ton
situation for the United States
Department of Agriculture.
New York — ( I P )— When a wood­en
grand stand in the 106th Regi­ment
Armory, in Brooklyn, collapsed

St. John's College and the

1,300 spectators were hurled to the
basketball floor, and three were tak­en
to the hospital for treatment.

David Ariail, Marion Talley and
Warren McMahan have been carrying
the brunt of the attack so far this
season, but they need plenty of as­sistance
before victories can be an­nexed.
They are slated to start
against Georgia Tech on Wednesday
afternoon, but their mates will hard­ly
be known until time for the game.
Congress Poll Shows
College Drinking Has
Not Been Eliminated
Crystallizing the concensus of opin­ion
of student leaders from college
campuses of all sections of the coun­try,
the answers to a questionnaire,
presented by the student opinion
committee of the Sixth Annual Con­gress
of.the National Student Fede­ration
headed by Lewis Powell of
Washington and Lee University,
drew national attention from the
press.
A summary of the poll evinced the
fact that 57 believed that "college
drinking" was increasing, 47 thought
that it was remaining static, 16 be­lieved
it decreasing, while no one
felt it had been eliminated. Student
reaction in the questionnaire on pro­hibition
was consistent with this
trend of thought, since 66 favored
modification, 38 voted for repeal and
23 endorsed rigid enforcement.
Reaction to the tariff problems
which was the topic of consideration
under the national and international
aspect of the program was clearly
brought out in the poll. Seventy-seven
voted for moderate protective
tariff with 21 favoring free trade
and 25 remaining undecided. More­over,
in answer to the question, "Is
there any fundamental difference be­tween
the so-called platforms of the
two major political parties?" 71
voted no with 33 believing the affirm­ative.
On the desirability of a third
party and government ownership of
public utilities the vote was split.
The questionnaire further brought
out that the bulk of the student lead­ers
present favor .JJnited States tak­ing
a position of world leadership in
the cause of disarmament, and the
adherence to the World Court on the
basis of the Root formula. While a
great number favored United States'
recognition of Soviet Russia if a set­tlement
of debts could be reached by
the two governments, almost half of
those voting were undecided. Ap­proval
of unemployment insurance
and disapproval of the "dole system"
were brought out in the survey. R.
O. T. C. on a compulsory basis was
rejected by the vote and favored on
an elective plan.

TEAM PLAYS GAME
WITH TWELVE MEN
College Station, Texas —(IP)—A
situation amusing to spectators, de­spite
the embarrassment it no doubt
caused those officiating, developed in
a game to determine the intramural
speedball championship of A. & M.
College here when at the close of the
game it developed that one of the
teams had played the entire game
with 12 men. As in football, after
which the game is closely patterned,
teams in speedball are composed of
eleven men, but since in speedball
the players seldom are grouped as
closely as in football the error was
not noticed until a check-up of the
lineups was made at the close of the
game.

Staff Of Federation To
Continue Another Year
The staff of the Central Office of
the National Student Federation has
been retained for another year by ac­tion
of the Executive Committee taken
at the Sixth Annual Congress at At­lanta,
Georgia. This decision places
a stamp of approval upon the form
of 'organiation inaugurated at the
Stanford University Congress in 1929,
and authorizes the further develop­ment
of several of the most important
projects of the Federation.
Chester S. Williams of the Univer­sity
of California at Los Angeles,
Acting Executive Secretary for the
past year, was chosen Executive Sec­retary
for 1931. He will have under
his supervision the Central Office in
New York, including the direction of
travel, debate and information depart­ments,
news service, radio programs,
foreign scholarships and student loans.
The other staff members retained
were Virginia L. Loomis, Debate Sec­retary,
Lucy Wheeler, Information
Bureau, and Helen Donovan, Travel

General Summerall Is
President Of Citadel
Charleston, S. C—(IP)—Officials
of The Citadel, South Carolina's mili­tary
college, have announced that
Genei-al Charles P. Summerall, recent­ly
retired chief of staff of the army,
has accepted the presidency of the col­lege
to succeed Col. O. J. Bond, who
will retire Sept. 12 after 20 years at
the head of the institution.
The Citadel, for many years rated
by the War Department as a class A
military school, is modeled after the
military academy at West Point. Its
student body numbers 700 cadets.
In his youth General Summerall at­tended
the Porter Military Academy
here.
The United States of Europe pro­ject,
fathered by Aristide Briand
will not be considered by the Lea­gue
of Nations for at least a year.
New York —(IP)— Defining a
university as "an institution of high­er
learning where scholars of high
competence guide students, who have
been prepared by,a liberal education,
into advanced studies, with the aid
of libraries, laboratories 'and semi­nars",
Dr. Nicholas Murray Butler,
president of Columbia University,
speaking before the Associate Alum­ni
of Barnard College here declared
that there are only eight universities
in the United States, and only eight
others bearing the name which in
some degree carry oh the activities
of a real university.
Citing the fact that there are sev­eral
hundred universities listed in
the World Almanac, the Columbia
President said it was all "nonsense,"
and arose largely from the loose.use
of the terms college and university.
New York and Pennsylvania pro­tect
the word "college", he said, but
it is possible in many other states to
have a "College of Horseshoeing" if
one so desires, and the term "univer­sity"
is protected in no state in the
country.
The university should be a "power
house of wisdom,' he said. He did
not name any universities or colleges
in his talk.
