Sophomore Dances In Full Sway; Many Visitors Here for Opener
FRANK SUVA'S ORCHESTRA
IS RECEIVING HIGH PRAISE
Many Pretty Visitors In Village
For Prom
DECORATIONS EFFECTIVE
Several Selections Broadcasted
Over WAPI
The number of young ladies at­tending
the Opening Dances this
year is greater that for the same
time last year, according to Zoe
Dobbs, social director. The list of
visiting young ladies as given below
is complete for Friday night only,
but Sabel Shanks, chairman of the
social committee, stated that the
number was expected to be doubled
before the Farewell Ball which will
be given Saturday night.
The music for the Sophomore Hop
is being furnished by Frank Silva
and his orchestra, of New Orleans.
Many students have expressed their
opinion that the music is much better
than has been the custom of having
for the Opening Dances, and the
chairman of the social committee
stated that he was well pleased with
the selection of an orchestra.
The music for the Executive Cabi­net
Tea Dance was broacdast over
WAPI from 4:30 to 5:30 Friday af­ternoon,
and also over WSFA from
5:00 to 5:30. The Sophomore Ball,
which was given Friday night, was
on the air over WAPI from 12:00 to
1:30. The music for the "A" Club
Tea Dance will be broadcast over
both WAPI and WSFA, and the same
was true of the Scabbard and Blade
Dance this morning.
The modernistic ballroom, which
is the decoration scheme used for the
gymnasium, has met with wide spread
approval, according to several mem­bers
of the social committee. This
decoration scheme was carried out by
O. D. Asbell, and G. W. Swaim, both
members of the department of archi­tecture.
-—-At 10 o'clock Friday night the reg­ister
contained the following names:
Caroline Brown, New Orleans; Ann
Standifer, Eufaula; Louise Hollings-worth,

NOTICE
The Horticultural Department re­quests
that students refrain from
picking up pecans that may be found
on the college campus. Splendid co­operation
on the part of the students
has been obtained in the past and the
department asks that they continue
to give their support. Results on the
amount of pecans each tree produces
are taken each year and it is neces­sary
that the total amount be ob­tained
in order that the results be
correct.
PREXY MAY SPEAK TO
ATLANTA ALUMNI CLUB
ON FRIDAY, OCTOBER 17
Dr. Knapp Plans Visits to Sev­eral
Alumni Clubs
The Auburn Alumni Association is
planning to have Dr. Knapp visit the
meeting of the Atlanta Alumni Club
in Atlanta on the night before the
Georgia Tech-Auburn football game,
and also to have him attend the meet­ing
of the Ne wOrleans Alumni Club
on the night before the Tulane-Au-burn
football game in New Orleans.
It is anticipated that there will be a
very enthusiastic meeting on each oc­casion,
it was stated by J. V. Brown,
Executive Secretary of the Auburn
Alumni Association.
At the meeting of the Mobile Alum­ni
Club last Friday evening, Dr.
Knapp made favorable reports of the
progressive work now being carried
on at Auburn to about 40 members
of the Club, and he was enthusiasti­cally
accepted, it is stated. The mem­bers
of the Mobile Club and the mem­bers
of other clubs visited by Mr.
Brown, on his return trip from Mo­bile,
are reported to be in a finer co­operative
spirit than ever before.

New Dairy Furnishes
Ice Cream for Auburn
The manufacture of ice cream in
the new Auburn Dairy Plant began
Friday afternoon. While the plant
was not,run at its full capacity, the
quality of that ice cream turned out
at that time was a good indication of
the high grade cream that Auburn
and its vicinity may expect from this
source.
The plant, in connection with the
Dairy Department, is located in the
new Dairy and Animal Husbandry
Building. It is equipped with elec­trical
machinery of the latest type
and is prepared for the manufactory
and delivery of such dairy products
as ice cream of all flavors, butter,
butter milk, sweet milk, and whipped
cream.
Operation of the dairy has been
hampered somewhat by lack of milk

Rats Meet Baby 'Gators
On Drake Field At 2:30
The Auburn-Florida rat foot­ball
game to be played on Drake
Field today at 2:30 will mark the
first encounter in which the baby
tigers have clashed with a Con­ference
team.
The baby 'gatots boast of a
strong eleven with which they
hope to be revenged for the Au­burn
rat victory of last year.
Admission for the game will be
$1. Students may use ticket

BLOCK, BRIDLE CLUB
GIVE BARBECUE FOR
4-H CLUB MEMBERS
One Hundred Visitors Are En­tertained
on A g Hill
Friday afternoon at 12:30, the
Block and Bridle Club entertained the
visiting 4-H Club members at a bar­becue.
Approximately 100 members
and visitors were served barbecue,
stew, lemonade and ice cream un­der
the trees on 'Ag" Hill by Mr. C.
P. 'Granade and five helpers. The
pig was supplied by the Extension
Department and the ice cream by the
dairy department.
After lunch, talks were made to
those present by L. N. Duncan, di­rector
of the Extension Service, M.
J. Funchess, Dean of the School of
Agriculture, "Dad" Sims, State Club
Head, J. C. Grimes, of the Animal
Husbandry Department, and F. W.
Burns, livestock specialist.
The occasion for this celebration
was a livestock judging contest spon­sored
by the local chapter of the
Block and Bridle Club. County
agents were invited to bring ten 4-H
Club boys each to determine the win­ners
in each county to represent
that county at the State Fair in
Montgomery October 20. The judg­ing
was in three classes, dairy cows,
swine, and beef cattle, and was done
entirely by members of the Block and
Bridle Club. This club will also send
representatives to Montgomery to do
the final judging.
This is an annual affair sponsored
by the Block and Bridle Club, the
Extension Service, and the Animal
Husbandry Department. The coun­ties
represented this year were Chil­ton,
Elmore, Coffee, Dale, Chambers,
Tallapoosa, and Talladega and But­ler,
Georgia.
Thanksgiving Game
May Be Changed
An effort to change the date of the
South Carolina-Auburn game in Co­lumbus
will be made, it was decided
yesterday at a meeting of the Georgia-
Auburn committee, sponsor of the con­test.
The game now is scheduled for
Thanksgiving day, but members of
the committee believe that a larger
crowd would be present if the contest
is shifted to November 29, the Satur
day after Thanksgiving. Secretary
W. H. Young, Jr., was authorized to
communicate with the athletic officials
of South Carolina and Auburn in an
effort to effect the change. It was
pointed out at Thursday's meeting,
which was held at noon at the chamb­er
of commerce, that the Tech-Florida
game in Atlanta and the Georgia-Ala­bama
game in Birmingham on Thanks­giving
day would draw fans from Co­lumbus.
George B. Philips, chairman
of the Georgia-Auburn committee, pre­sided
at Thursday's meeting. It was
announced that plans are progressing
satisfactorily for the Georgia-Auburn
game here October 25.

Auburn Rotarians Are
Host to Dist. Governor
Joseph A*. Duckworth of Tuscaloosa,
governor of the 26th district of Ro­tary,
addressed Auburn Rotarians at
their weekly luncheon on Thursday,
delivering a message on the spirit
of Rotary.
The governor sketched the history
of the spread of Rotary from the in­ception
of the idea 25 years ago to
the present when Rotary has 155,000
members in 3,372 clubs in 64 coun­tries.
The speaker stressed the importance
of Rotary International as a pro­moter
of international good-will and
world peace, and racial tolerance.
He advised Auburn Rotarians' to
emphasize development of the indi­vidual
Rotarian as the theme of their
program for the year.
Following his address the governor
met with the chairmen of the commit­tees
and discussed business details
of the Auburn club.
Visitors were L. J. Lehotay, T. C.
King, Reverand Robert M. Mann of
Opelika, and Harry J. Douce of Bir­mingham.
IMPORTANT NOTICE
All men who have band instru­ments
and who desire instruction in
music are requested to report to
Langdon Hall Tuesday afternoon,
Oct. 14, at 4:30 p. m. Please be
prompt.
The news department of The
Plainsman will move jnto its new of­fice
on the second floor of the power
house some time within the next
week. The room is ready for occu­pancy
with the exception of the eight
typewriters, which will be moved in
over the week end. There will be
a combination lock on the door, and
students in the reporting and editing
sections of journalism, as well as
The Plainsman staff will be furnished
with the combination.
The new office, where the atmo­sphere
of a technical news laboratory
will be reserved at all times, will be
used jointly by the students in journ­alism
and news staff of the paper.
Students can get first hand contact
with large metropolitan and all local
newspapers, shelves for thirty of
which have been provided, and two-thirds
of these already filled. During
the past week the dummy of The
Plainsman has been made up in the
new office, and arrangements are
most satisfactory.
In expressing his idea of the fut­ure
outlook, Gabie Drey, editor-in-chief,
said, "Until the present time
we have been impeded greatly by
lack of space in which to work as a
whole. In the new. off ice we will be
able to work more as a unit and hope
to put out a better Plainsman."
Professor Bloch will be in and out
of the office at all times during the
day to render whatever aid he may
to members of the staff. In a state­ment
to the interviewing reporter he
made clear his intentions in. regard
to future plans. "My intention," he
said, "is to cooperate with the staff
in so far as I am able in an advisory
capacity, and to place my students in
practical contact with the activity of
news work. My students will auto­matically
become Palinsman report­ers
upon entering the journalism
course. Eventually, I would like to
see the Plainsman grow into the city
newspaper, instead of just the school
newspaper."

To Be Ag. Dept. Guest
Peter McLarin, the world's cham­pion
log chopper, will be at the Agri­cultural
Engineering Department
Monday evening, October 13, at 4 p.
m., to stage a log chopping contest.
He is advertising axes for the Plumb
Tool Company of Philadelphia, Pa.,
and will give to any contestant $50
who will cut a log in two in one and
one-half the time that it takes him to
perform the operation. All logs will
be equal in size. All wishing to en­ter
this contest must have their names
turned into the Agricultural Engineer­ing
Department by 8 a. m., October 13.
No admission charges will be made,
and everyone is invited.
With the echoes from the cheers of
1,500 students still ringing in their
ears, the Auburn Tigers entrained for
Jacksonville at 7:58 Thursday night.
The Tigers meet the niversity of Flo­rida
'Gators in Jacksonville, today in
their first conference game for the
current season.
Thirty-one players were taken to
the scene of the battle. With the ex­ception
of an end and a halfback,
three complete teams were carried.
The Auburn traveling party numb­ered
39.
The probable starters against Flo­rida
have not had much rough work
this week because Coach Wynne could
not take any chances of having any
more of them injured. Some of the
ailing players have a chance to start
against the 'Gators because about the
only work that they have had this
week has been signal practice. Miss­ing
strenuous work will hurt Auburn's
chances of making a creditable show­ing
against the strong Florida elev­en.
At one time, seven regular play­ers
were listed as members of Trainer
Wilbur Hutsell's sick list, bffc this
number has decreased until it now has
the names of only two, Captain Har-kins
and Will Bassett. The Tiger's
brilliant leader, who is one of the
leading centers below the Mason-Dix­on
line, might get a chance to start,
but it is very doubtful. His place
will be filled by Lee Johnson, prom­ising
sophomore, if Trainer Hutsell
refuses to release him. Bassett was
injured in scrimmage Tuesday and
is definitely out. He was carried to
Jacksonville.
The workouts in preparation for
Florida .have been long, strenuous and
serious. No loafing has been allowed
as the coaches realize the opposition
that they face today, and have work­ed
against overwhelming odds in try-

To Announce Questions
For Collegiate Debate
The question for the men's inter­collegiate
debate is to be announced
at a meeting of upperclassmen in
room one in the Power House, October
14th at 5 p. m., according to L. S.
Judson, head of the speech depart­ment.
At this same meeting drawing
for sides will be held so as to have
those interested ready for the tryout,
which will be held in the same room
October 28th, at four p. m. It is the
object of the speech department to
make the debate team one of the ma­jor
activities on the campus, and with
this in mind, an invitation is extended
to all students interested to be present
at this meeting.
Plans have been made by the speech
department to have a woman's debate
team this year, and instructions re­garding
a place will be given at a
meeting of the women students who
are interested in intercollegiate de­bating
Oct. 15th, at 5 p. m. This
meeting will be held at room one of
the Power House. All women stu­dents
are eligible for a place on the
varsity squad, and it is very import­ant
that those interested attend this
meeting.
For any further information con­cerning
the debate teams or try-outs
for the same, see Professor Judson.

THE DANCES
The Plainsman joins the rest of the in­stitute
in welcoming to Auburn the girls
" who are here for the opening set of dances.
We hope that they will enjoy the dances,
see all that is good in Auburn, and when it
is all over, they will promise to visit us
again.
It is for the men of Auburn to see wheth­er
or not the girls enjoy the Sophomore Hop
—to see that they will leave here having
seen the Auburn of which we are so proud.
The Social Committee is doing all in its
power to see that everything might run
smoothly. The members have worked for
days preparing for this affair which lasts
only a day and a half. They have done
their part let the students take up where
the committee has left off, and see that
the girls are pleased with Auburn.
"Act Intelligently", as someone has said.
CUTTING CLASSES
This year the faculty seems to be faced
with the same problem that I had faced
for many years, the problem of students
not attending classes without sufficient ex­cuse
for such action, or, as it is termed in
the slang of Auburn, "cutting classes."
It seems as if it is impossible to pound
into the head of the college student of to­day
that each class he misses actually costs
him money, and the average Auburn man
is certainly no exception to this rule. Many
of the students think that, just because
they are allowed to have a number of ex­cused
absences in any class equal to twenty
per cent of the number of class meetings
during the year, it is up to them to take
this number regardless of the necessity.
To make matters still worse, these allowed
absences are usually all used up during
the first month or two of the semester, with
the result that, if towards the end of the
semester the student falls sick, it results in
his being dropped in a number of his clas­ses.
And, regardless of this, this excessive
cutting makes it impossible for a man to
get everything out of the course that he is
supposed to, as it is impossible to miss
twenty per cent of the lectures on a subject
and still know as much about it as the man
who has made every class.
The Plainsman thinks that this excessive
cutting is due to the lack of foresight on
the part of the students, and that if every­one
would give the matter a little more con­sideration,
they would see the futility of
such action.
CARE OF UNIFORMS
One of the best looking and smartest
modes of dress on this campus is the gray
uniform issued to the R. 0. T. C. students
by the War Department. When this uni­form
is neatly pressed, cleaned, and in good
order, it is unsurpassed by anything on the
campus as far as looks go. However, when
worn in parts, and in a slovenly fashion,
this same uniform can be made a disgrace
and discredit to the college.
One of the main reasons why the former
uniform of olive drab was discarded in fa­vor
of the present gray was because of the
impossibility or improbability of its ever
looking neat. These outfits were merely
handed out to the student without too much
care being taken as to whether a good fit
was secured, and it was left up to the indi­vidual
to see to it that the uniform was
altered. The mere fact that it was almost
impossible to make these old uniforms look
decent offered enough discouragement to
the average student to cause him to take
little or no care of it. Last year the mili­tary
authorities here decided that if the
men were given a decent-fitting, good look­ing
uniform, it would encourage them to
keep it nicely cleaned and pressed, and in
good shape at all times. This was done and
for awhile—that is, until the first pressing
and cleaning had worn off, every uniform
was spotless. This year, to further aid the
student in keeping his unifrom neat, the
War Department has made arrangements
with the Ideal Laundry for a pressing
schedule which calls for the delivery of
trousers in one day.
The Plainsman believes that all R. O. T.
C. students should cooperate with the War
Department in its effort to keep the unit
here looking as presentable and smart as
possible.
Letters to the Editor
October 9, 1930
Editor The Plainsman:
I read with a great deal of pleasure in to­day's
Birmingham News a story to the ef­fect
that the alumni associations of Ala­bama
and Auburn would seek to promote an
Auburn-Alabama football game next year.
To me, this is good news, because I have
realized for a long time that a resumation
of athletic relationship between the two
schools would be a decided benefit to both.
Just because a bunch of students attend­ing
Auburn and Alabama years ago had a
free-for-all which necessitated severance of
athletic relationship is no reason why we
should be deprived of seeing a football game
every year that would be most colorful. I
within the student bodies of these institu-believe
a consensus of opinion existing
within the student bddies of these institu­tions
would strongly favor the suggestion
made by the Birmingham alumni associa­tions,
and in order to really put the thing
over, we, as students here at Auburn,
should declare ourselves in the form of a
published petition or by ballot.
I hope that something will be done here to
let the people of the state know that this
student body stands ready to play Alabama
next year. Fans over the state would trav­el
many miles to see this game, and with
the concurrence of the student bodies and
alumni associations there is no reason why
we should not see a packed stadium next
year at this game.
I hope that you agree with me and that
you, through your editorial policy, will see
fit to champion the cause of a game with
Alabama next year. .

Editor, The Plainsman:
Have you ever tried to cross the campus
during a rain, or when the ground is wet
due to recent showers?
If you have ever attempted to go from
the Administration Building to Ramsay or
Broun Halls, or to the old architecture
building, or any of the buildings in that
vicinity, you will understand me when I
say that the roads and walks are FIERCE.
Auburn is in the midst of the part of
Alabama known for its red clay; the clay
is bad enough in dry weather, but in wet
weather, it is soggy, slippery, and extreme­ly
messy.
The recent rains have again reminded us
that it is high time that something be done
toward repairing the poor connecting links.
Why doesn't the administration get busy
and have these several roads and walks
fixed? The grassy puddles, the miniature
torrents, bumpy and slippery roads, and
the messy red clay are disgraces to the
campus.
Yours truly,
J. D. Hawkshaw.
My Opinion
By Vasili Leonidaitch
October 10, 1930.
Editor, The Plainsman:
There has been much controversy among
several of us as to what is done with the
activity fee paid by every student upon the
act of registering.
The student pays seven dollars and a
half each semester—fifteen dollars for the
year. Will you tell us just what is done
with the money?
We think that athletic books, Glomerata,
The Plainsman, and Y. M .C. A. fees are
taken from this sum, but we want to know
just how the fee is divided.
Very truly yours,
SENIORS.
The student's ability can be measured
very well, but me have no methods of com­parable
validity for guaging interest and
opportunity. These factors, however, can­not
be neglected, for they account for a
large percentage of scholastic failures.—
D. T. Howard.
It is not the science of medicine from
which we suffer, but rather a seriously
faulty organization of medical service.—
Evans Clark.
It costs the City of New Tfork $930,000
a day to operate its public school system,
and the figure is expected to reach a mil­lion
dollars in the near future.
THE lace-wearing amoeba is here.
Their soft delicacy and affected
' sweetness is enough to make a stoic
Leonduitich want to turn handsprings and
dance around in his pajamas. What is this
strange power woman has? A very com­mon-
place campus becomes socially animat­ed
overnight just because a few bits of
silk and female what-not have come to
town. Yet they bring sunshine—replace
the morbid grind of classes with carefree
laughter and sparkling gaiety. Riding on
this tide of infatuation, I shout welcome!

In connection with the dances, I wish
to give my unqualified recommendation to
Dick Donovan's slogan of "Be Intelligent."
Somewhere in the acquisition of our warp­ed
tradition, Auburn men have gotten the
idea that the success of the dances is to be
estimated in gallons.

Wednesday afternoon I had the occasion
to witness the superb triumph of realism

"All Quiet On The Western Front"
is an irrestable plea for pacificism.
* * * * *
Although not a victim, I have been hear­ing
almost universal complaints about one
of the public speaking professors. It is
true that allowances must be made for stu­dent's
opinion as to a professor's method
of instruction, yet unanimous disapproval
at least warrants an investigation. Pos­sibly
southern students are different—even
in color.
Book Review
THE DEATH OF A HERO
By Aichard Aiding, Covici Friede Inc.
Review by Haakon Provost
" . . . . but in an 1890 marriage there was
such a lot of Luv and God that there was
no room for common sense, . . . . or any of
the knowledge we vile decadents think neces­sary
in men and women. Sweet Isabel,
dear George Augustus! They were so
young, so innocent, so pure. And what hell
do you think is befitting the narrow-minded,
slush-gutted, bug-whiskered or jet-bonnet­ed
he-and she-hypocrites who sent them to
their doom? O Timon, Timon, had I thy
rhetoric! Who dares, who dares, in purity
of man hood stand upright, and say . . . .
Let me not rave, sweet gods, let me not
rave."
George Winterbourne was an extremely
liberal-minded young man who attempted to
put into practice his ideals of free love and
sex equality. He married, and all went well
until his wife learned of his promiscuity.
Although she had many liaisons herself, she
could not bear the thought of her husband's
infidelity. George goes to war, and re­turning
is treated coldly by his wife and
paramour who had quarreled over him.
George feels this frigidity keenly and is
sent back to France broken-hearted. Ex­hausted,
harried by petty orders, and over­come
by neurasthenia, he is killed a few
days before the Armistice.
Addington's book is written in an inter­esting
style, and his arguments are most
forceful. He seems to feel deeply the ut­ter
senselessness of war; children are
brought into the world, reared, and educat­ed,
only to fall helplessly into a pool of
blood on a Continental battle field.
A potential picture of the end of Vic­torian
Conventionalism, The Death of A
A Hero, occupys a front rank among the
contemporary war novels.

The Gazook
I'm the gazook who is never on time. I'm
always l^te in getting up in the morning
and I run on the same schedule for the rest
of the day. I never get to classes on time,
but I think my prof should wait for me
because I am a college student and I know
more than the average man.
The only reason I can give for being late
is a woman's reason, and that is "just
because."
I think the world would have been better
off if I only had been late when I was born.
That would have been so late that I would
have never even been born.
I know this is not a good policy, but
people will get used to me in a short time,
or I'll be like the little bug that was left
out in the cold.
There are so many good coaches around
now, so many smart ones, who have studied
and learned from all the leading teachers
of football science, that material (in a
team) usually tells the story. And by ma­terial
you must count in not only quality,
but also quantity. —Grantland Rice.
Harmon and Quinlivan, noted musicians and electrical engineers, will forsake
this fair village this week-end. They will take a little trip to the city noted for its

his week-day attire and wear his "Sunday-go-to-Meeting" suit.

THE DAWN OF AUBURN
Victory, victory, the same glad song as sung of old.
We've waited four long years, dreary, dark and cold.
To sing the victor's song. And now perchance, at last
We'll sing that song. Forget the gloomy, sordid past.
The clouds are thinning, ere long the pass of njght.
The dawn is nearing, and anon we'll see the light.
The light appears, and brings our long hoped dreams.
The DAWN of Auburn. The night has passed it seems.

a gat in getting subscribers and advertisers. Camp has recently been very upset

• AMBITION
Alas for them whose lots bewail,
And let the fates decree
The course of life that they must sail
On time's eventful sea.
Like shifting sand is shifting life,
Unless our time we bide,
And pause to combat storm and strife,
And rise to stem the tide.
When drifting downward with the streams
We eddy toward the shoals,
And never realize our dreams,
Nor cross the once sought goals.

GIRLS ATTEND GAME
Students of Greenville Woman's College
were the guests of Furman University at
the Furman-Newberry football game last
Thursday night on Manly field. The stu­dents
were given a special section of seats
adjoining those of the Furman men. Very
convenient. Much interest was shown by
the girls, who aided materially by their
cheering the Furman team.
Officials of both schools stated that they
were pleased with the arrangements that
made it possible for G. W. C. students to
attend the game here. Why can't we ship
Woman's College over here for our next
game?—That's true too.

WHO'D HAVE THOUGHT IT
Our word "school" was derived from a
Greek word which means leisure. And has
not the meaning undergone a fearful
change! We grant that school days are
happy days, but we don't always see that
they are leisurely. For we who are in
school now know that we lead the busiest
life possible. There is something to be
done every minute! If it isn't one thing,
it's another—classes, lessons, gym, meet­ings,
always something. The sad part is
that duties demand more time than there is.
Just to come near "breaking even" requires
the maddest dashing about. It has recent­ly
been pointed out to some of us that peo­ple
who bustle, scurry, and hurry hither
and yon present a ridiculous spectacle. No­body
enjoys being ridiculous. —Sundial.

BEER AND MORE BEARDS
Last year the progressive undergraduates
of Dartmouth stoutly advocated a return to
sensible dress for men. So convinced were
they of the need for such a reform that
they emerged publicly adorned in shorts. A
similar return to classic attire is suggested
by the professor who states that beards for
college men are coming back. Without
stopping to neumerate the numerous disad­vantages
of a return to hirsute chins, we
might say that we are willing to -go back
to the beards of the '80's, if at the same
time we might have real beer again ill which
to dip them.
The moral is go the limit. Therefore,
beards and beer.

SMART MAN
Jewish students at Harvard were given
the opportunity to dictate their answers to
proctors in divisional examinations held
recently. This arrangement was made when
the Jews protested that it was a violation
of their religious code to write on Yom
Kippur.
At first the Jewish students asked for a
postponement of the examination. Dean
Alfred C. Hanford denied the request and
rules that they must either take the exam­ination
or wait another year for their de­grees.
All Harvard seniors must pass the
divisional examinations in order to grad­uate.—

ROCHESTER U. MOVES
The College for Men of the University

* * * * *
$12,500,000,000 FOR AUTOS
Figures which have been compiled by the
Research Division of the National Educa­tion
Association indicate that Americans
spend more than five times as much for
passenger automobiles each as they do for
the education of their children in the pub­lic
schools.
In 1928 the country spent less than $2,-
500,000,000 for public education below the
college grade, while it spent $12,500,000,000
for motor cars. The survey further indi­cated
that three times as much as was
spent on education was spent on tobaccco,
candy soft drinks and amusements of va­rious
sorts.

LACK OF CONCENTRATION
Lack of concentration is the greatest
handicap which high school students have
when entering college, it was found by
Pennsylvania State College authorities in
a questionnaire sent to students here.
Other difficulties which the freshmen re­vealed
were lack of knowledge of how to
study, of how to budget working time, of
how to choose among the various subjects
on the curriculum.

I received from a friend who left the South
to attend a Northern university.
Dear Dick:
Sloppy and I have an apartment with
a boy named Tom who went to Vandy.
We have a h— of a nice apartment.
We have a living room, a large bedroom
with three beds, study tables, ward­robes,
and a private tile batR" with hot
and cold water at all times. We also
have steam heat and a gas log in the
fire place to use when the weather is
cool. A radio, victrola, shower and
maid service is also furnished us, and
nearly everything one would want.
Bed linen, and cover are also furnished
us. Our laundry is taken out and in
and we never have to fool with that. I
tell you, it beats living in a fraternity
house by a mile; it is just like home,
and you can do exactly as you wish.
Boy, I'm telling you, this law is plen-hard.
We have forty pages of cases
every day, but it is interesting as h—
and I surely do like it. We have jus­tices
of the courts to teach us and if
you think they don't know their busi­ness
then you are plenty wrong. I
want over to the Naval Academy Sat­urday
afternoon to see the Navy play
William and Mary, it was a good game.
They had a swell tea dance after the
game and my two friends at the Acad­emy
really showed me around. We live
for the week-ends up here because we
don't have classes so we do most of our
- playing around then. We really have
to keep our noses to the rock during the
week though. I am going to New York
the first time I get the chance, it only
cost five dollars round trip. I am keep­ing
up with Auburn this year and no
one hopes more than I do that she will
come out victorious this season.
Your Buddy.

Of decorations most inane,
'Most likely to be laughed 'n' jeered;
Both idiotic and insane,
Think I the worst of these, a beard.
Who hasn't seen some worthless bum
Who's very soul's by hell been seared,
Deficient mentally, and dumb,
Appearing with a beard.

Adoring a man, to him endeared
Would change about, renounce her

discussion was "Financing the Home"
and was led by Mrs. Martin Beck.
An innovation intended to create a
larger interest on the part of those
interested in music, but unable to at­tend
afternoon sessions, was an even­ing
meeting at the home of Mrs. A.
D. Lipscomb, with Mrs. Noel C. Van
Wagenen as joint hostess. The hus­bands
of club members were present
as guests.
The program was in charge of Mrs.
H. O. Hoffsommer and Mrs. E. S.
Winters, the subject being "Music
and the Dance." Mrs. Hoffsommer
gave a brief description of the music
of characteristic dances of many coun­tries,
which was illustrated by Mrs.
Winters at the piano.
The club luncheon, an annual event
look forward to "by all members, will

Masculine spirit is aroused thru-out
the country and a call is hereby
issued for all good men to rally
round the banner an defend the last
stronghold occupied by the male sex,
which at one time dominated the
world. Beards, according to Profes­sor
P. H. Nystrom of Columbia,
speaking before the American Beauty
Congress, will appear again this year.
For if the prediction of Professor
Nystrom holds true, "when Spring
rolls round again next year" under­brush
Will hide the faces of men.
It is the one possible refuge of
hunted man from the devastating
mimicking of women. Here is one
fad that the male element of the
species may adopt without fear of be­ing
copied by the weaker sex.
There are, of course, arguments on
both sides of the question. During
cold weather it might be particularly
annoying to find one's words lodging
in the spinach and freezing there.
One anti-beardist went so far as-to
cite the example of the reformer who
after issuing a series of epithets while
out of doors, was considerably dis­gruntled
twenty minutes later. He
hadn't noticed that the ill chosen
words had frozen in his beard, and
consequently when he was about to
begin his speech before a meeting of
the W. C. T. U. the profane words
dislodged by the warmth of the room,
flowed forth.
But there are just as many argu­ments
on the other side of the ques­tion.
Beards are unusually useful
affairs. Instructor Kinne of the
French Department gained consider­able
enjoyment out of an anemiac
goatee, until forced to shave it off
because of uncomplimentary com­ment.
If nervous, the wearer can
pull at it to his heart's content; if
a philosopher, he can look much
wiser and, if a historian, he could
settle once and for all the question
of whether or not one sleeps with the
beard under or over the covers. Im­agine
the added prestige Al Capone
would have if he possessed an impos­ing
underbrush covering.
Finally, a theme song will be used.
It is written along the lines of the
popular "Let's Do It," and starts
something like this, "The Soviets do
it, the Bolsheviks do it, come on let's
do it." v Little more need be said.

The importance of better health
was the theme of the program for
the regular monthly meeting of the
Auburn Business, and Professional
Woman's Club, Tuesday, Oct. 7.
Speakers were Miss Tommie H. Gra­ham,
of Opelika, Lee County Health
nurse, and Mrs. H. C. Hoffsommer,
of Auburn.
Miss Graham discussed the diet,
regularity of habits, and other things
conducive to health which she said
was essential to success in business as

DEAN OF NEW JERSEY
COLLEGE FOR WOMEN SAYS
STUDENTS NOT RADICAL
# '
New Brunswick, N. J.— ( I P )—
Writing in "Deans at Work," Miss
Leah Boddie, dean of the New Jer­sey
College for Women here asserts
that college students are not at all
the wild-eyed radicals they some
times are pictured to be, but ex­presses
the belief that they desire
change only for the future benefit of
humanity. „
She believes student bodies repre­sent
the same variety of thinkers that
any other groups do. Thus, she be­lieves,
the college campus has its
student minds ranging all the way
from the most radical to the most
conservative.

Auburn Varsity Meets Florida As
Tiger Frosh Battle 'Gator Freshies
By Elmer G. Salter
Auburn and Florida will meet
twice on the gridiron Saturday. Jack
Cannon's and Brady CowelFs frosh
teams will meet here on Drake Field
at 2:30 p. m., while the two varsity
teams are battling in Jacksonville.
The Tigers will be opening their con­ference
slate, while the 'Gators will
be meeting their second S. C. op­ponent
of the season, easily dispos­ing
of the North Carolina State grid-ders
last week.
Coach Chet Wynne will send his
Plainsmen into the game with Flori­da
in a crippled condition. Captain
Dunham Harkins leads the injured
list. In addition to the cut received
over his eye which required three
stitches, the Tigers outstanding lead­er
also received a back injury in the
Spring Hill game which makes it
very probable that he will not be
able to see service in the initial
conference tilt for his mates.
Will Bassett, halfback, received an
injury in the second scrimmage of
the week which definitely stamped
him as a member of the ailing list
for the Jacksonville fracas. The loss
of this sophomore ball carrier is
quite a blow to the team as he was
a sensation his freshman-year and
was just rounding into form after
a mediocre start. He is well remem­bered
in Gainesville as one of the
members of Coach Earl McFaden's
1929 plebe eleven that helped, wreck
the Baby 'Gators. He has been used
as a substitute this year, but there
really isn't any eleven men on the
team who can call themselves first
stringers. A team using the Notre
Dame system has a varsity squad.
Chas. Kaley, another halfback, is
definitely out of Saturday's clash.
He is confined to his room with the
'flu."
The loss of both Bassett and Kaley
from the halfback list leaves only
four halfbacks who have had ex­perience
and seen some service in
the two games played by the Plains­men
this season. Lindley Hatfield,
Jimmie Hitchcock, Leo Young and
Football Relations With
U. of Fla. Began 1912
By Elmer G. Salter
Gridiron relations between the Ala­bama
Polytechnic Institute and the
University of Florida began in 1912
when the Plainsmen won a hard
fought battle, 27 to 13.
The Tigers and 'Gators met for
six time in a row after the initial
game, with the roamers of the forest
victors six times.
The two teams failed to meet each
other after the 1917 tilt until 1927
when moleskin festivities were re­sumed
in the Loveliest Village. H.
L. Sebring's strong eleven marred
homecoming for the Bengals in 1927
when they returned to Gainesville
on the large end of 33 to 6 score.
This was the last game that Dave
Morey served as head coach at Au­burn.
In 1928, the two teams met in
Gainesville and last season they bat­tled
«ach other in Montgomery.
Florida won both affairs, 27 to 0 and
19 to 0.
Auburn has doubled Florida in
scoring, annexing 203 points, while
the Saurians have accumulated 14
touchdowns for a total of 92 mark­ers.

Kenneth Phipps are the only half­backs
on the roster who have been
used in games.
Every player in uniform on Drake
Field is being put to work by the
trio of mentors. A scrimmage be­tween
the probable starters against
the Bachman eleven and the frosh
and rough work between two teams
picked from the remaining members
of the varsity squad in progress
at the \ same time. Coach Wynne
was in charge of the varsity-frosh
affair and Coaches Kiley and Mc-
Faden the latter.
Before the skirmishes started,
Hitchcock, Davidson, Tamplin and
Jenkins did some punting; the line­men
were sent through a short drill
lunging under a rope, then the
guards and tackles were paired off
and practiced offensive and defen­sive
work against each other, while
the ends tried their hand at block­ing
Coach Kiley. While the lines­men
were receiving -strenuous work,
Coach Wynne had the backs at the
other end of the field polishing up
on plays they have been taught.
Coach Kiley, who was one of the
best flankmen in the universe dur­ing
his playing career at Notre.
Dame, has a rule that if the ends
can block him out of a play, then
they are fairly good. That is cor­rect
because he still possesses some
of the tricks which caused him to be
recognized by Grantland Rice and
the late Walter Camp. Porter Grant
was the most effective in putting his
tutor to the ground.
Realizing that the rodents have
got a lot of work to be done before
they will be able to make a credit­able
showing against the Baby Ga­tors,
Coaches Cannon and Baskin
are working their Cubs overtime.
Darkness has found them on the
field every practice this week.
The rats were not impressive in
the 0-0 game with Birmingham-
Southern, which accounts for their
mentors working them every after­noon
until after dark.
What little signs of hope they
flashed against the Baby Panthers
were jotted down by Coach Nash
Higgins, Florida scout, so they will
have to learn new tricks and polish
up on the plays" that they have been
directed - to use, if they make a
creditable showing Saturday.

Birmingham Alumni To
Discuss Way to Resume
Relations With U. of A.
Plans for bringing about a renew­al
of athletic relations between the
University of Alabama and Alabama
Polytechnic Institute will be discus­sed
at a smoker to be held by the
Birmingham Alumni Association of
the former school at Highland Park
Country Club at 7:30 p. m. Friday.
Committees to proceed with the
movement will be appointed with
many of the alumni holding hopes of
a Thanksgiving Day game between
the two schools next year, although
Alabama is under a five-year con­tract
with Vanderbilt for Thanksgiv­ing
games.
Resumption of relations was dis­cussed
at the last meeting of the
alumni association, the discussion
being continued until the coming
meeting in order to obtain a larger
attendance, association officers said.
The Birmingham association has
not taken the matter up with the
heads of either school and. some of
the alumni officers expressed doubt
that anything definite could re­sult.
Alabama and Auburn severed ath­letic
relations after a football game
in 1906 and have not met since.

Rats Put Through Hard Workouts
In Preparation for Game Saturday
Coach Chet Wynne's Auburn Tig­ers
will be playing in Jacksonville
Saturday, but Drake Field will not
be lonesome. The Tiger Cubs will
meet the University of Florida frosh
at 2:30. Like the varsity, the Orange
and Blue rodents are opening their
conference schedule against Florida.
Coaches Jack Cannon and Weems
Baskin used practically their whole
squad in the game last Saturday with
the Baby Panthers from Birming­ham-
Southern, tprobably because
they wanted to get a slight idea con­cerning
the showings some of the
players would make under fire.
The cubs failed to make much of
an impression in their season's
debut, so their mentors have sched­uled
hard and strenuous work for
every after noon' this week. Dark­ness
finds the frosh squad working
hard.
The Baby Gators are coached by
Brady Cowell, whose freshman teams
have compiled a record of 31 victor­ies,
nine losses and three ties in the
last eight years that he has coached
plebes at the Gainesville institution.
Cowell is going to try and inspire his
1930 eleven enough to avenge the de­feat
handed his proteges last year by
Coach Earl McFaden's strong first-year
team.
The present members of the squad
are: centers: O'Neal, Chrietzberg
and Weaver; guards: Crossland, Ja­cobs,
Woodall, Searcy, Danlutti and
Chambless; tackles: Burleson, Burge,
Wible, Baxley, Holmes, Ellis and
Nobinger; ends: McCollum, Ariel,
Green, Blunt, Daniels, Randolph and
Huggins; quarterbacks: Williams, Mc-
Carley, Baker and Head; halfbacks:
Rogers, Adams, Kimbrell, Neal,
Phipps, Hicks and Dupree; fullbacks:
Talley, Bumpers and Talley.
Picking the starting lineup against
Florida -is rather difficult, but it
would not be surprising if the players
who started against Southern were
not given the early assignments.
The team that started against
Southern and probable starting line­up
against Florida is: Green and Mc­Collum,
ends; Wible and Burge,
tackles; Crossland and Jacobs,
guards; Weaver, center; Head, quar­terback;
Adams and Rogers, half­backs,
and Bumpers, fullback.
Various authorities have found
that a business depression tends to
increase greatly the number of stu­dents
in educational institutions of
every sort. • .
Gold several centuries old is pos­sessed
by a strange band of gypsies
in Rumania.
The three men pictured above are
members of Coach Wynne's varsity
squad. John Wilson, powerful tackle,
earned his letter during the past sea­son.'
Wilson is very aggressive and
fast, and should have a good year
again at tackle.
Ralph Jordan is another hard work­ing
lad, playing center. Jordan is
a versatile athlete, as he is Captain of
the basketball team, and a member
of the baseball squad.
Willie Roe Tamplin, diminutive
quarterback, is another excellent re­serve.
Tamplin is especially good at
kicking, and is fast and a good passer.
GRIDIRON QUINTESSENCE
By ADRIAN TAYLOR;
Probably the most pleasant sur
prise of the past Saturday's gridiron
schedule, was Vanderbilt's decisive
victory over the strong Minnesota
team.
Although, the Minnesota team was
handicapped by injuries to Anderson
and Al Krezowski, ends, and the sick'
ness of Riebeth, star bach, the Bad
gers were picked to defeat the South
erners. However, Coach Dan McGu-gin
had thoroughly prepped his team
with Minnesota's style of play, the
McGuginites, with Parker playing a
prominent part, smothered Minneso
ta's famous triple passes. The Vandy
team took advantage of every break
and defeated the Northern team 33-6.

The strong Bulldog team of Geor­gia,
after winning two games, face
their toughest opponent of the year
Saturday, the Yale Bulldogs. Geor­gia
will attempt to repeat their tri­umph
of last year, defeating Yale
15-0. Georgia has an experienced
team, and will have a wonderful op­portunity
against Yale.

Two Mile Run Takes
Place of Cross Country
Lincoln, Neb.— (IP)—Cross coun­try,
described by the Nebraska Alum­nus
as a more or less ancient sport
for college athletes, has been remov­ed
from the Big Six conference sport
calendar this fall in favor of milder,
but still highly strenuous, running
competitions.
No more will the track suited ath­letes
labor through mud and cold ov­er
hill and dale, only to arrive in
the stadium just as the football squad
returns between halves and steals all
the glory.
Conference coaches have decided in
favor of a two-mile team race all
on the stadium track, instead of the
five-mile grind over the surround­ing
countryside.
Six men will be used, as in the
past, with five counting in the to­tals.
Ten points will be given first
place, nine for- second, and so forth,
with the team scoring the greatest
number of points winning. In cross
country one point is allowed for first,
two for second and so on, with the
low score winning.
Races will be run between halves
of every conference football game
this fall. The new plan will be tried
this year and if found to be satis­factory
will be used in the future.
Buster Mott, heralded as the best
broken field runner in the South Cap­tain
Maffet and Catfish Smith at
ends, Yale has a touch Saturday-be­fore
them.
• ' The entire South will be watching
this classical event, and will be root­ing
for Georgia.

After defeating Spring Hill, the
Auburn Tigers will launch her ship
in conference circles Saturday. The
Tigers will journey to Jacksonville
where thety meet the University of
Florida's team.
Florida defeated North Carolina
State the past Saturday, and altho
their team failed to display any bril­liance,
the Gators have an excellent
backfield and a good line, and should
be in excellent condition for their
hard fighting foes.
Auburn's team is improving each
Saturday, but too much cannot be ex­pected
from a team that has had
such a short training period under a
new system of coaching.
* * * *
Georgia "Tech also invades the
North Saturday, and plays Carnegie
Tech. Carnegie has one of the
strongest teams of the North and
should defeat the Georgia Engineers.
However it will be a good game.
Tech has a strong team, having an
especially heavy line, and they easi­ly
defeated the South Carolina Game­cocks
the past Saturday.
* * * *
Alabama has stampeded her open­ing,
opponents, and will face confer­ence
opposition Saturday, the Se-wanee
Tigers.
With John Cain, brilliant sopho­more,
arid Suther and Campbell in
form, the Crimson Tide should ramp­age
over the inferior Tennessee
team.

Freshmen Defeat First
Battalion Artillery Of
Fort Benning 55 to 0
While the varsity gridders were
practicing on the freshman field in
preparation for their invasion of
Florida for a game with the Univer­sity
of Florida, whom they meet in
their initial conference test Satur­day
at Jacksonville, the frosh mole­skin
wearers occupied Drake Field
and engaged the First Battalion of
the 83rd Field Artillery from Fort
Benning, Ga., in a practice game
which they easily won, 55 to 0.
The score reveals the weakness of
the Artillery eleven more than it
does the strength of the Cannon-
Baskin plebes. Auburn gained at
will, and if they had shown their
real potential power, they would not
have stopped a point under the cent­ury
mark.
Both teams used numerous substi­tutions
as most every member of the
Tiger Cubs saw action while' Capt.
Gaston, coach of the losers', used
about thirty players. Coach Cannon
substituted by teams instead of in­dividuals.
Auburn scored* eight touchdowns
and missed the try for the extra
point once, the final time they tried.
End runs, lateral passes, intercepted
passes, off-tackle plays, and a com­plete
assortment of the remaining
plays were used by the Orange and
Blue frosh in scoring in the practice
affair.
The starting line-up against the
Uncle Sam paid boys' was not very
successful their initial attempt, but
came back later and performed much
better. It took the probable first-stringers
to score first.
After the first team that started
had worn the soldiers' down, the
tentative plebe varsity eleven went
in and scored a touchdown the first
time that they had the ball. Baker,
quarterback and safety received a
punt on his own 35 yard line and
raced behind perfect interference
for a six-pointer. Phipps passed to
Neal for the extra point.
The second touchdown came as the
aftermath of several line bucks and
end runs by Neal, Phipps and Talley.
The touchdown was cored by Talley
who carried three Artillerymen over
the goal line with him. The buck
was good for six yards. Phipps pass­ed
to Neal for the extra point. This
ended the scoring for the first quar­ter.
The second period was about the
same as the opening quarter except
that only one touchdown was scored.
The first-year ball carriers gained at
will, but Neal's 65-yard run for a
touchdown and a pass from Phipps
to Neal-for the extra-point was the
only scoring.
Three touchdowns were annexed
in the third quarter. Phipps scored
once on a 45 yard run and again
on a 25 yard jaunt. A pass from
Phipps to McCollum over the goal
line netted 35 yards and the final
six points of the period. Daniels
place-kicked after the first touch­down
in this quarter and Phipps af­ter
.the final two.
The team that opened the fracas
Rats Prepared For
Game With Florida
Frosh On Saturday
Coaches Jack. Cannon and Weems
Baskin have given their frosh hope­fuls
plenty of work this week in
preparation for the University of
Florida Baby 'Gators, whom they
will encounter here on Drake Field at
2:30 Saturday, while the varsity elev­ens
from both schools are battling
in Jacksonville.
The mentors were not satisfied with
the showing that they made in the
opening game of the season against
the Baby Panthers from Birmingham
Southern which accounts for dark­ness
finding the yearling undergoing
strenuous work on Drake Field every
afternoon.
In meeting the Baby 'Gators, the
Auburn youngsters will be engaging
probably one of the strongest frosh
teams in- the Southern Conference.
They are coached by Brady Cowell
whose frosh teams at the Gainesville
institution have a record of 31 wins,
nine losses and three ties in eight
years. One of their losses was re­ceived
from Coach Earl McFaden's
1929 rat team, so the Floridans will
invade the Cornerstone with the in­tentions
of avenging last year's de­feat.
The frosh squad has been reduced
by Coach Cannon,- but selecting the
eleven best is still quite a problem.
About 40 are now out for the team.
No starting line-up was given out
by the Auburn tutors. A tentative
line-up is: Green and McCollum, at
ends; Wible and Burge, tackles;
Crossland and Jacobs, tackles. Weav­er,
center; Head, quarterback;
Adams and Rogers, halfbacks, and
Bumpers, fullback.
was sent in at the beginning of the
final quarter. They were able to
score this time when Head intercept­ed
a pass and ran 40 yards over the
final white strip and Watson skirted
end for 20 yards which carried him
over the goal line. Head went
around right end for the one point
after his run and the kick after the
last marker went wild.
The starting line-up for Auburn
was: Blunt and Huggins, ends; No­binger
and Ellis, tackles; Knight and"-
Ballard, guards; Weaver, center;
Nelson, quarterback; Head and Rog­ers,
halfbacks, and Nelson, fullback,
but the team that looked the best
and the one that will probably start
against the Baby 'Gators from Flori­da
here on Drake Field, Saturday
was: McCoHum and Aerial, ends;
Holmes and Nobinger, tackles;
Jacobs and Chambless, guards;
Chritzberg, center; Baker, quarter­back;
Phipps and Neal, halves, and
Talley, fullback.
Starting line-up for Fort Benning
was; Jordan and Cole, ends; Elmore
and Belflower, tackles; Odoms and
Williams, guards; Skipper, center;
Derrick, quarterback; Swayze and
Arnold, halfbacks, and Pike, full­back.
Morris, Mallard, Mays, Cutrel,
Greenway, Helms, Smith, Abies, Ki-mell,
Walters and McLeod were used
in the roles of substitutes.
Cutrel gave the fans a thrill with
his large "dogs." One glance at his
feet would make one believe that it
would be impossible to lift them off
the ground, but he managed to be
pretty lively. He wears No. 16 shoes.
Score by quarters:
Auburn 14 7 21 13—55
Fort Benning 0 0 0 0— 0
Officials: Harkins (Auburn), ref­eree;

U. OF MINNESOTA OPENS
NEW "OMNIBUS COLLEGE"
As another step toward develop­ing
the needs of the individual stu­dent
of exceptional ability, the ad­ministration
of the University of
Minnesota has instituted an experi­ment
to be known as the "omnibus
college" this year.
Heretofore, students registering at
any college of the university, were
obliged to fulfil the prescribed cur­riculum
of that college, not being
permitted to select electives in any
other college. Some students found
that their objective demanded that
they take courses in several different
< colleges, and that their college work
was seriously hampered by this rul­ing.
The "omnibus college" has been
established with the purpose of giv­ing
more freedom to the exception­ally
intelligent student, who knows
what he wants, and has a definite
objective in mind, according to Dr.
John T. Tate, professor of physics,
chairman of the committee of 22
campus educators who are directing
this college.

held from June 9-21 under the. joint
auspices of the American Friends
Service Committee and the Institute
of International Relations afforded an
opportunity to attend courses and
lectures given by such eminent lec­turers
as Hornell Hart, Norman
Thomas, Parker T. Moon, James G.
MacDonald and others.
There were a number of Peace
Caravans, provided with cars and ex­pense
money, sent out for a period
of eight weeks by various colleges
including Swarthmore, Grinnell, Ha-verford,
University of Wisconsin and
Mt. Holyoke. These caravans were
organized by student committees
apart from the university administra­tion
or official bodies. The members
of the caravans prefaced their field
work with attendance at the "School
for Peace Workers." Their program
included speaking and spreading
peace literature in small towns visit­ed.

* Cleveland, O.—Heraclio Alfaro be­lieves
he has solved aviation's de­mand
for a two-place air flivver.
Alfaro recently completed a small
convertible glider at his experiment­al
plant here that can be mounted
with an outboard motor. Installation
of the motor requires five minutes,
only four bolts being used, according
to the inventor.
The plane is a high-wing mono­plane.
The motor is attached on
the back of the wing, to the rear of
the cockpit. Dual controls are to be
installed and a gasoline tank is to
be placed in the fuselage and fuel
forced up to the motor.
Alfaro hopes to license his convert­ible,
glider as a two-place plane, but
if he finds it does not conform to
department of commerce regulations
he will build a larger plane on the
same lines, he said.
Student Meeting Will
Be Held At Holyoke
South Hadley, Mass.—(IP)—
Mount Holyoke's enthusiasm for in­ternational'
ideals is assigned as the
reason the International Student
Service has decided to hold its next
annual convention here, Sept. 1 to
9, 1931, the first time the organiza­tion
has met outside Europe.
About 175 students from all over
the world are expected to attend the
conference as delegates.

Citizens of Phoenix and Columbus
who aspire to become short story
writers, or wish to study the short
story as a form of literature, will
have an opportunity to expand their
knowledge when Dr. Charles W. Weav­er,
professor of English of the Ala­bama
Polytechnic Institute, inaugu­rates
a class on the "Short Story"
in Phoenix, Thursday afternoon, Oc­tober
9, at 3:30 o'clock in Central
High School Building.
Dr. Weaver, who has made the
short story his hobby, comes by his
interest in that field quite naturally,
for he is a native of Greensboro,
North Carolina, the birthplace of O.
Henry, America's greatest exponent
of the short story.
The course at Phoenix is part of the
extension teaching activities of the
Alabama Polytechnic Institute, for
which, arrangements are made by Dr.
B. R. Showalter, director of the ex­tension
teaching division.
Dr. Weaver will make an histori­cal
and critical study of th,e short
story, which is the most recently de­veloped
f,orm of literary expression.
Special attention will he given to a
study of the technique of the short
story from the standpoint of the read­er
as well as that of the writer. The
outstanding masters from Maupas-sent
to Octabus Roy Cohen will be
studied in detail.
For those interested in writing,
some attention will be given to the
development of plot, character por-trayel,
atmosphere, dialogue, and oth­er
attributes which make for effec-fective
use of this vehicle. An op­portunity
will be offered for those
who wish to try their hands at writ­ing
short stories. '
The class will hold 10 meetings and
college credit will be given to those
who successfully complete the assign­ments.
The course is also open to
those not desiring college credit but
are only interested in literary cul­ture.
Dr. Weaver is not unknown to the
people of Columbus. His, lecture
"Sherwood Anderson—Artist of the
Commonplace,"'was one of the high
lights of the series given before the
Century Club.
Preparations are being made here
to extend a part of the Alabama
Polytechnic Institute to Mobile. Prof.
J. R. Rutland, head of the department
of English, is arranging to give a
course in "Modern Drama" in the
Gulf city. It will be one of a large
number of extension courses being
given at many places in Alabama by
Auburn professors under the super­vision
of Dr. B. R. Showalter, direc­tor
of extension teaching.
Professor Rutland stated that he
expects to discuss the best plays since
Ibsen. "The drama of the last 75
years is one of the richest fields for
the student of modern thought," he
said.
"It might be considered as a record
of a revolution in social ideas. With
Ibsen, Strindberg, Tolstoi, Chekev,
Andreyev, Hauptmann, Sudermann,
Brieux, Rostand, France, and others
to read and study, one could hardly
ask for more vigorous thinking or
more satisfactory entertainment."
The first lecture will be on Ibsen
and his influence in contemporary
drama and thought. Other topics to
be discussed at the first meeting are
how to read a play, the drama and
other forms of literature, and the
drama as a vehicle of propaganda.
The class will meet every three
weeks and there will be 10 meetings.
The place and time of the first meet­ing
is yet to be arranged.
College credit will be allowed for
the course. Each student who com­pletes
it successfully will be given two
semester hours credit. In the case of
graduate students residence credit
will also be given. Professor Rut­land
said special recognition will be
given to students who wish to begin
research in preparation for a thesis.

George Westinghouse
Memorial Is Dedicated
Associates and Many Employ­ees
Erect Memorial In Evi­dence
of Their Esteem
There has been erected in Schen-ley
Park, Pittsburg, Pennsylvania, by
those who were associated with him
and by the 60 thousand employes of
the world-wide industries he founded,
as an evidence of their esteem and
a memorial to George Westinghouse
affection.
George Westinghouse was one of
those great figures who at rare inter­vals
cross the pages of history.
It is impossible to measure him in
terms that apply to ordinary men.
He patented over 400 inventions,
including one of the most important
of all inventions—the air-brake—but
he was not primarily an inventor.
He found scores of successful com­panies,
but he was in no sense a
promoter.
He made millions for himself and
others, but he cared nothing for mon­ey
for its own sake.
He directed many vast engineering
undertakings, but he cannot be con­sidered
merely an engineer.
He was a great creative force—a
constructive geniu&—and he applied
his gifts of vision, courage, and abili­ty
always for the benefit of humani­ty.
The purposes of this memorial are:
To pay tribute to the inventive gen­ius
of him who contributed so great­ly
to the material development of his
country, and the world at large, in
adding to the happiness, comfort and
security of its people.
To interpret to those who view it
in later years the personality, the
incourage and achievements of this
great industrial leader and to give
form, recognition and force to the
fact that George Westinghouse, as
a great American of his generation,
and because of the universality of
Many Students of Aviation Are Men
Who Have Had Education in College
College education is becoming an
increasingly important asset in com­mercial
aviation, and the man who
has preceded his aeronautical training
with a year or more of college now
stands a greater chance of success in
the field. That is the belief of T.
Lee, Manager of the Boeing School
of Aeronautics, Oakland, Calif., one
of the nation's largest accredited fly­ing
schools.
W. E. Boeing, founder and Chair­man
of the Board of the various Boe­ing
aeronautical enterprises, last year
offered scholarships having a cash
value of $7,100 at the Boeing School
of Aeronautics. Scholarships were of­fered
to undergraduates of approv­ed
American colleges and universi­ties.
Winners of the 1930 scholar­ships
were: Ralph J. Moore, Stanford
University; Lloyd H. Speelman, Mt.
Union College; Charles W. Sharp,
University of Nebraska; R. M. Har­ris,
University of Washington.
"Aviation is an industry, not a
stunt or a game", Lee stated recent­ly,
in addressing an assembly of col­lege
instructors at San Francisco.
There is no short cut to sucess in the
industry; training is essential.
"The progressive aviation executive,
pilot or mechanic must look on his
technical training in terms of time
and expense, in the same manner
that he would consider training for
any other profession.
Of the graduates and students of
the Master Pilot and Mechanic cours­es
at the Boeing School of Aeronaut­ics,
70 per cent are men with one or
more years of college education.
Lee said that aeronautical training
was becoming systematized to a degree
comparable with that for engineer­ing,
law or other professions. Among
the ground schol courses offered with
the flight training at the Boeing

DEAN C. A. CARY INSPECTS
WORLD'S LARGEST CIRCUS
The Ringling Brothers Circus will
move into Mobile and Montgomery
this week with their animals; cages
and cars reeking with the odor of
disinfectant as the result of a visit
paid the circus Saturday and Sunday
by Dr. C. A. Cary, state veterinar­ian
and dean of the school of veter­inary
medicine here.
Dr. Cary visited the circus in New
Orleans to ascertain whether the ani­mals
offered any threat for the re-infestation
by the cattle tick in Ala- -
bama, as the show had toured tick
infested areas in Texas and Louis­iana,
it was reported.
Following an inspection of the ani­mals
and a conference with officials
of the circus, more than 500 horses
were sprayed, all cages were disin­fected
and all of the cars were clean­ed
and disinfected under supervis­ion
of Dr. Cary and federal inspec­tors.
"I am entirely satisfied," Dr. Cary
said last night upon his return from
New Orleans, "and the circus will
show on schedule."

PAGE SIX THE PLAINSMAN SATURDAY, OCT. 11, 1930
FATHER AND DAUGHTER BOTH
ENROLLED IN SAME CLASSES
The Rev. JolTn H. Davis, Presbyte­rian
minister of Montreat, N. C,
believes a man is as old as he feels.
Sixty years young, Rev. Davis, one
time dean of Stillman Institute for
negroes at Tuscaloosa, has just en­rolled
in the graduate school of the
university of Alabama, where he plans
to work towards his Master's degree.
"Why, young man, you are endea­voring
to make an old man of me!"
he told the inquisitive reporter. "Real­ly,
going back to school after all these
years makes me feel as if I were
twenty-one instead of sixty."
The registration of Rev. Davis at
the University offers the rather
strange incident of a father and'
daughter enrolling in the same school,
taking courses in the same classes,
and working towards the same degree.
His daughter, Miss Margaret Davis,
instructor in Spanish at the Universi­ty,
is also enrolled ^n the graduate
school. While Rev. Davis is taking
graduate work in philosophy and edu­cation
Miss Davis is writing her thesis
in elementary education.
Rev. Davis is a graduate of Union
Theological Seminary in Virginia. He
received his bachelor of arts degree
from Hampton-Sidney, and slso took
work in Uew College of Sidney Col­lege,
Edinburgh, Scotland. At present
he is taking an extended vacation
from the pulpit.
Miss Davis received her bachelor
of sciences degree from the University
last August. For the past twelve years
she has been principal of the mission
school at Cardenas, Cuba. She has
also been instructed in high schools
of Alabama. Now on leave of ab­sence
from Cuba, she is pursuing
graduate courses at the University
and is instructing in Spanish.

Alabama Hens Winners
In Egg Laying Contest
Winners in the sixth Alabama na­tional
egg-laying contest at the Ala­bama
Polytechnic Institute have been
announced. Six loving cups have been
awarded to as many breeders whose
birds made the best records in the
contest, following tabulation of rec
ords by Prof. G. A. Trollope, super
visor, and C. T. Bailey, manager.
The 1,000 birds were divided into
pens of 170 birds and the award for
high pen went to Fox and Son Poul
try Farm of Little Falls, N. J. This
pen of White Leghorns laid 2,505 eggs
and scored 2,577.35 points during the
11 months the contest was in prog­ress.
The winning was based on
points, eggs weighing 24 ounces per
dozen scoring one point per egg, and
eggs weighing more or less according
iy.
The high hen for the contest was
an Alabama bird, a Rhode Island Red
owned by Dr. H. B. Peacock and Dr.
Roy M. McLure of Opelika. She laid
288 eggs and scored 296.7 points.
Dr. Peacock was owner of the high
pen for heavy breeds, his pen of
iRhode Island Reds scoring 2,447.9
points with 2,554 eggs.
The award for high pen in light
breeds went to Egg-a-Day Farm of
Spartanburg, S. C, whose White Leg­horns
scored 293.45 points with a lay
Df 282 eggs.
Marshall Farm of Mobile won the
award for high Alabama pen, the en­try
scoring 2,449.9 points with 2,508
eggs, and award for second high Ala­bama
hen went to J. B. Downs, of
Clanton whose Rhode Island Red hen
scored 266.85 points with 260 eggs.
This award would have gone to Pea­cock
and McLure, whose entry was
high hen for the entire contest, but
rules allow one breeder to. receive on­ly
one cup.
Twenty seven individuals in the con­test
are being kept untH October 30,
since they have a chance to lay 300
or more eggs in a 365-day period.
Some of them have already exceeded
the 300-egg mark.
The sixth contest established a new
record for contests at Auburn. The
1,000 birds laid a total of 191, 849
eggs, an average per bird of 191.8
eggs for the 11 months. This com­pares
with 187 eggs per bird for 11
months of the 1928-29 contest, which
was a new record at that time.
The sixth contest closed September
30, and the seventh contest opened
October 1, and will continue 12 months
until September 30, 1931.
Twenty states are represented by
entries in the new contest, though
42 of the 100 entries are Alabama
birds.

ing to polish up on both the offense
and defense. Every drill on Drake
Field saw the Plainsmen engaging in
a short scrimmage.
Coach Wynne used the players who
did not start against Spring Hill in
most of the mock battles. One of
the greatest problems for the mentors
is developing capable reserves as it is
very doubtful if the players who were
injured in the tilt with the Badgers
will be able to stand sixty minutes of
battle like the Machman eleven will
offer.
It will be the Notre Dame system

Auburn and Florida meet. Coach
Bachman received his training at the

FRESHMAN HAZING IS
RAPIDLY BECOMING A
MEMORY OF THE PAST
U n i v e r s i t y of West Virginia
Takes Lead In Abolition
Of The Traditional
Rat Hazing
(N. S. F. A.)
All over the world during the past
few hectic weeks, the class of 1934
has found itself alternately paddled
and patted on the back. It has been
deluged with advice from deans and
from seasoned upperclassmen about
where to eat and what courses not
to take.
A few important facts stand out
from the whirl, the first is that there
are more freshmen than ever this
year. Colleges in the middle west
and on the Pacific Coast note that
the business depression did not have
its expected effect on the enrollment
as the class of 1934 will probably be
larger than any previous one.
The attitude toward freshman haz­ing
seems to be changing gradually.
At the University of West Virginia,
the Student Council has officially
abolished hazing, and has provided
instead for a Freshman Court to
work with the Traditions Committee
in enforcing freshman customs.
Which means that freshman rules
are under the charge of a definite
group, and not any upperclassman
(sophomores being traditionally the
most ardent) cares to take a hand.
Bucknell has gone still farther, and
is attacking not only hazing, but the
freshman traditions themselves. In a
letter to the editor of the Bucknellian
of September 18, a freshman de­clares:
"I have not come here to re­vert
to the antics of my pre-school
days—My purpose is and has got to
be serious." And this attitude is
supported in an editorial in the same
issue which»denounces the time-hon­ored
green caps and compulsory acro­batics
as "silly and childish."
But hazing is still far from a lost
art. At Park College, "originality
and humiliation" are still the pur­pose
of the freshman rules. The
Trojan (University of Southern Cali­fornia)
describes "some new and par­ticularly
effective ways of making the
frosh respect their university," rang­ing
from freshman tree-sitting con­tests
to removing painted remarks
from the sidewalks with only "bricks
and elbow-grease." At Creighton,
the freshman wears a green cap with
a bright red bill; at the University
of Wichita, garters with socks that
do not match. The student in Hol­land
who is a candidate for' one of
the University corps must shave his
head and enter his clubroom by the
window. The new Corps member,
needless to say, is easily recognizable
for several months.
An interesting device for helping
the bewildered newcomer is the Har­vard
Crimson's Confidential Guide to
Courses, which is a really frank ap­praisal
from the student's viewpoint,
of the value and interest of various
fields of study. As a Crimson edito
rial puts it, "The faculty is amply
represented in the catalogue and the
various conferences with instructors.
This is a defined undergraduate opin­ion.
It offers a means of ascertain­ing
just how well the various instruc­tors
accomplish their aims as teach­ers."
One has a mental picture of
the Harvard faculty peering in trep­idation
at the Crimson's very out­spoken
comments on certain courses:
but in spite of its inevitable short­comings,
the Confidential must cer­tainly
be helpful to the harassed
freshman facing, as he is so often
told, "the whole field of knowledge".
Grim Side of War to Be
Featured in Program of
"Chevrolet Chronicles'9
RELATION OF DOUGHNUT HOLE
TO ZERO CAUSES BIG DEBATE
(N.S.F.A.)—The grim side of war
rather than its glory will be stressed
in the third of the "Chevrolet Chron­icles"
to be heard locally this week,
over station WCOA, on Friday, Oc­tober
24, at 9:30 p.m.
Captain H. H. Weimer, now Na­tional
Commander of the Disabled Vet­erans
of the World War, who returned
from France wearing not only the
Distinguished Service Cross and the
Croix de Guerre with palm, but a
wound stripe on his sleeve, is schedul­ed
to relate those experiences which
brought him his distinguished honors
as well as the wound stripe.
Captain Eddie Rickenbacker will
continue in his role as host during the
"Chronicles", and musical arrange­ments
under the direction of Frank
Black and Gustave Haenschen featur­ing
the "Chevrolet Ensemble", the
"Chevrolet Saxophone Six", and the
"Chevrolet Six Singing Violins" will
make up the remainder of this inter­esting
half-hour program, which is
being broadcast nationally through 120
radio stations.
As might be expected of Captain
Weimer, his story leans rather to­ward
the sacrifices of those soldiers
best known to him, than to his own
sensations when a machine gun bullet
tore through his helmet. His regi­ment
was a part of the 33rd division
and was sent up with the British to
the Somme near Chinnily Ridge.
The official citation says that Cap­tain
Weimer near Bois-de-chaume,
France, on October 9, 1918, "had been
wounded in the shoulder and a ma­chine
gun bullet had penetrated his
helmet but he nevertheless continued
to lead .his company creating confi­dence
in his men at a critical mo­ment."
Similar acts of valor over and above
the call of duty mark every one of the
"Chronicles" which are being present­ed
over this station every week at the
same time by local Chevrolet dealers
in the interest of a fuller National
appreciation for patriotism, heroism
and self-sacrifice.

and cream. First cream was pur­chased
by the dairy October 9 and
now whipped cream is offered to lo­cal
buyers.
As soon as the milk supply war­rants
it, the dairy will manufacture
ice cream daily and will furnish this
product to the college cafeteria and
drug stores and also the local reta,il
trade.
The dairy is under the direction of
Professor A. D. Burke. Assisting him
is Floyd Smith, who is in charge of
the work in the plant. Student as­sistants
are Elmo Thombs of Deca­tur,
and R. L. Griffin, of Maples-ville.

Salt Lake City—(IP)—What ar-cheologists
describe as pre-historic
surgical kit has been discovered be­neath
a cliff dwelling near the Utah-
Arizona border by members of the
Charles L. Bernheimer expedition >of
the American Museum of Natural
History.
The kit, which contains a variety
of wooden intsruments, all well-pre­served,
was hidden in a hollow tube,
covered by the skin of an animal.
Archeologists believe that the sur­gical
instruments were used by a race
known as basket weavers, many years
before the arrival of the cliff dwel­lers.
Considerable curriosity, comment,
contemplation, congruence and con­troversy
have been the result of a
question suggested by a prominent
member of our college faculty re­cently.
This problem has to do with one
of the greatest inventions of the age
—the Arabic number system.
One, two, three, four, etc., are
easily understood, but difficulties be­gin
to appear where question of the
origin of the zero presents itself.
We wonder where it could have pos­sibly
originated and whether the com­plete
absence of all quantity in the
doughnut hole could have influenced
the inventor of the cipher, or did
the empty feeling that the zero a
freshman, who became a baker, re­ceived
on his math course influence
him to build a doughnut around it?
Various and sundry arguments,
have been considered, weighed care­fully,
and cast aside. Very commend­able
viewpoints have been unearthed.
TEMPEL'S SECOND COMET
SEEN IN NEIGHBORHOOD
OF YERKES OBSERVATORY
Williams Bay, Wis.—(IP)—Tern-pel's
second comet, last seen on its
visit in the summer of 1925, has re­turned
to the neighborhood of the
earth, according to Professor George
Van Biesbroeck, of the Yerkes Ob­servatory
here.
The comet was within approximate­ly
the diameter of the full moon of
the place predicted for it by Dr. A.
C. D. Crommelin, noted English au­thority
on cometary orbits.
When Dr. Van Brisbeorck picked
it up, the comet was close to the
boundary between the constellations
of Scorpio and Ophiuchus. Scorpio,
conspicuous in the summer southern
evening sky because of the red star,
Anatares, and the curved row of stars
forming the tail of the scorpion, is
now low in the southwestern sky just
after sunset.
The majority contended that the
zero was the doughnut hole's ances­tor,
while the minority backed the
doughnut hole with admirable cour­age.
At first there was a tremendous
battle of opinions, but after a day
or two when a sense of broad-minded­ness
prevailed, someone decided that
by some process of inductive or de­ductive
reasoning, he could prove
that the doughnut hole was only an
illusion. After considering and re­specting
Bacon's analysis of deduc­tive
reason in the following manner:
"No doughnut has two holes, one
doughnut has one more hole than no
doughnut. Therefore one doughnut
has three holes."
You can readily see that he was a
freshman, and he was wondering
whether three doughnut holes equals
one zero, or one zero equals three
doughnut holes, or if doughnut holes
and zeros come in trios at all.
Someone suggested eating a dough­nut
and observing the result. The
doughnut was duly eaten, and lo!—
the hole had disappeared. Then, how
could the baker have been inspired to
build the doughnut around the hole
when there was no hole?
The panorama of discussions led to
the organization of a society for the
prevention of cruelty to doughnut
holes, a society for the prevention of
cruelty to nothing; and a society of
equality and justice to doughnut
holes and zeros, the last of which of­fered
as proof of the theory that the
doughnut hole and zero were con­temporaries,
their motto: "No hole,
no doughnut, no doughnut, no hole."
