Sigma Nu's Attend
Church In A Body
Sunday evening the entire chapter
of Sigma Nu attended the Presbyter­ian
Church in a body for their annual
memorial service. It is the custom
for the Sunday before Armistice Day
to be observed in this manner by the
fraternity. Rev. S. B. Hay made a
very interesting address, using for
his text, "High-ways of Life," in
which he compared the signs that
one sees on the roadside to the warn­ings
that should be observed by one
in directing the course of his own life.

For Education Week Celebration
The second of the series of articles
celebrating American Education Week
under the auspices of the Auburn Bus­iness
and Professional Women's Club
was written by Dr. Paul Irvine of the
Alabama Polytechnic Institute.
HOW THE SCHOOLS PROMOTE
PATRIOTISM AND WORLD
UNDERSTANDING
On this twelfth anniversary of the
signing of the Armistice which ended
the most gigantic and most terrible
war of all time we are turning our
thoughts to the memories of the past
just enough to give us greater pur­pose
and determination in our plan­ning
for the future.
All over our great nation, as in
other nations, today in every city and
village, the great event is being cele­brated
that war has ceased and men
are turned to more constructive means
of setting differences of opinion and
interest. In 10,000 American Legion
posts today there will be meetings de­voted
to the subject of world under­standing
and goodwill. All our great
patriotic organizations are this week
devoting their attention to glorifying
the heroes of peace and war and are
extending to the schools their cooper­ation
and encouragement.
Standing before thousands of
schools today are ex-soldiers who are
speaking to the youth of America out
of their own experiences in a war that
killed and destroyed. They are telling
of the heroism of men who were wil­ling
to die for their country. To that
story will be added the story of men
who are hero.es of peace: Edison, Bell,
Whitney, Fulton, Westinghouse and
Ford, LoweU, Longfellow, Hawthorn

MASS MEETING
WILL BE HELD
ON THURSDAY
A gigantic Mass Meeting will ^be
held in Langdon Hall at seven thir­ty
Thursday night to stimulate that
"Old Auburn Spirit" in preparation
for the game with Mississippi Agri­cultural
and Mechanical College to
be played in Birmingham on Satur­day.
In spite of last weeks up-hill
fight in the Crescent City that ended
in a glorious defeat at the hands of
Tulane Green Wave, a large crowd is
expected to be present to cheer the
team on to an almost certain victory.
The band will lead a frienzied student
body through the streets, yelling "War
Eagle" and singing the famous victory
songs. Those present will again be
reminded that "the great day is com
ing and it is not far away". The
team will leave Opelika for Birming
ham at seven o'clock Friday morn­ing
and will rest up in the Magic
City for the encounter.

Confederate Veteran Delivers
Address at Barbecue
E. R. Wren, executive committee­man
of the American Legion of Ala­bama,
and Congressman L. L. Patter­son
of Alexander City were the prin­cipal
speakers at the Armistice Day
exercises held in Langdon Hall Tues­day.
The Auburn Military unit took
a leading part in the celebration, but
due to bad weather the review was
not staged as planned. However,
the twenty-one gun salute was given
at eleven o'clock to commemorate the
exact hour in which the Armistice
was signed.
The John H. Willis Post of the
American Legion took part in the
exercises in Langdon Hall, after
which they gave a barbecue in co­operation
with the civic clubs of Au­burn
and Opelika. Legionaires and
other ex-service men of Alabama
were invited to attend the exercises,
and according to reports the cele­bration
was a great success in spite
of the weather.
J. A. Watley, a gold star Confed­erate
Veteran of Opelika, delivered
an address at the barbecue held in
the gymnasium, and according to
several members of the visiting ex-service
men, it was a very enjoyable
occasion.
Education Week

In November
W. S. Myrick, Jr., president of the
Interfraternity Council, will be Au­burn's
delegate to the eighth annual
meeting of the National Undergrad­uate
Interfraternity Council, to con­vene
at Hotel Pennsylvania in New
York City from November 27 to 29th.
Each year the Interfraternity Council
sends a representative to this confer­ence
which is held in conjunction with
the annual meeting of the National
Interfraternity Conference. The del­egates
to the council are representa­tives
of the National Undergraduate
Interfraternity Council members
throughout the United States, whose
purpose is to discuss problems of mu­tual
interest to the members. During
the conference any member may pre­sent
his local problems for discussion.
This year's program will contain a
number of interesting features, includ­ing
an informal reception in the form
of a smoker at Hotel Pennsylvania
on Thursday evening. The confer­ence
will gather again at the hotel
on Friday morning, when, after a
chairman pro tern has been chosen,
several talks in the form of discus­sions
will be presented. On Satur­day,
29, talks will occupy the morn­ing
hours after which the council will
adjourn.
Water Turbines Are
Studied by Professor
At the end of two years of work
Professor C. R. Hixon, of the school
of engineering; of the Alabama Poly­technic
Institute, announces that en­couraging
results have been obtained
in an experiment to determine wheth­er
or not electrolysis is responsible
for pitting of water wheels, centri­fugal
pumps, and ship propellors.
He has found that there is almost
no pitting where electrolysis is pre­vented,
and he has succeeded in pre­venting
electrolysis by using a device
for grounding the current generated
by water wheels in motion. In other
experiments where the generated
current is not grounded much pitting
occurred.
Before starting the experiment
Professor Hixon investigated pitting
and found it to be causing heavy
losses to power companies, shipping
companies, and those operating cen­trifugal
pumps. Water wheels, for
example, must be mended about
every three years; and mending is
very expensive, Professor Hixon said.
He was told also by an ex-ship cap­tain
that pitting of the propeller of
his ship almost caused a disaster at
sea.
The work is being continued and
enlarged, the aim being to make an
exhaustive study of the subject. In

Christian, secretary; and Sam P.
Robinson, treasurer.
Civils Hear Talks On
Concrete Building
The students in the department of
Civil Engineering have been treated
this week to some very interesting
and instructive lectures in concrete
construction.
These short courses, in concrete
construction, are being given under
the auspices of Prof. J. A. C. Callan,
head of the Civil Department, assist­ed
by Mr. R. S. Phillips, representa­tive
of the Portland Cement asso­ciation.
The school began Monday after­noon
with a lecture on "The Use of
Concrete in Bridges" by Mr. H. H.
Houk, bridge engineer, State High­way
Department. Mr. Phillips and
Mr. Greene were introduced to the
large gathering of students.
On Tuesday morning, Mr. Phillips
spoke" on: "Recent Practice in Con­crete
Proportioning". And on Tues­day
evening, Mr. R. D. Jordan, an old
Auburn graduate, now division engi­neer
for the State Highway Depart­ment
spoke on "Concrete in Highway
Paving".
Mr. Phillips made a very interest­ing
talk Wednesday morning on,
"Materials for Concrete Construc­tion",
and that afternoon, G. N. Mit-cham,
City Engineer, Columbus, Ga.,
made a talk on "Use of Concrete in
Public Works Construction". Mr.
Mitcham is also an Auburn alumnus
being Captain of the football team
in 1898, and for a number of years
was at the head of the Civil Engi­neering
Department at Auburn. The
school will be concluded with lec­tures
by Mr. Phillips and Mr. W. E.
Barker also representative of the-
Portland Cement Co.

Armistice Celebration Recalls
War Days to Enlisted Men Here
The Armistice Day salute yester­day
morning awakened memories of
front line service in the hearts of
seven enlisted men here at A. P. I.
Twelve years have passed since that
memorable day when these men re­ceived
their honorable discharges but
preferred to reenlist in the ranks of
the army instead of starting a new
life of peaceful persuits. Several of
these men wear wound stripes and
all of them have some medal in rec­ognition
of their service.
Three of the sergeants here saw
front line service. Charles Living­ston,
master sergeant, served for
three years in France and Germany.
Sergeant "Livingston enlisted in the
Infantry, but was transferred to the
Ordinance Department during the
war. He was "under fire" on the
front line with the 1st Division of
the Infantry and of the Ordinance.
George Moxham, staff sergeant,
was born in Bradford, England, but
enlisted with the U. S. and served
on the front line with the Mobile
Coast Artillery guns. He is now in
the Field Artillery. The other ser­geant,
Spillman Fitzpatrick, saw fire
on the front while in Battery B, 20th
Field Artillery detachment in the 5th
Division. Sergeant Fitzpatrick was
awarded a bar for his action in the
St. Die sector where he was located
for 5 months. He also received re­wards
for his service in the Toul sec­tor
and his action in the St. Michael
offensive and the Frappelle defen­sive.
The Marine Corps is also rep-sented
here by Charlie Danielson,
who saw service with it in France.

No time will be lost this week by
the Auburn coaches in geeting their
porteges in good condition for the
game with Mississippi A. & M. in
Birmingham, Saturday. This is the
first conference game that the Plains­men
have entered in several years
with the dopesters giving them an
even chance for victory.
One or two plays will be given the
Tigers to shoot against Chris Cagle's
promising eleven, and much work will
be given in polishing up against the
most efefctive plays that they already
have in their bag of tricks.
The. workouts this week will proba­bly
be the longest and most strenuous
that have been issued this season.
Auburn has not won a game from a
Southern Conference foe since winning
from Sewanee in Montgomery, in ear­ly
November, 1926, and every one
here realizes that an inferiority com­plex
still hovers over the Tigers lair
when an S. C. opponent is encounter­ed.
Once you are down, it is very
hard to ever get up. Winning a con­ference
tilt this year would make Au­burn's
football season the best that it
has been in nearly four seasons of
hard campaigning. The showings made
by the Bengals this year have been
surprising to every one, but if a con­ference
fray could be annexed on the
winning side of the ledger, it would
be more of a tribute to the teachings
of Coaches Chet Wynne, Roger Kiley
and Earl McFaden, who have already
worked wonders with inexperienced
material.
In meeting the Maroons, the Orange
andBlue eleven will face one of the
leading sophomore ball carriers in
Dixie in the personage of Bob Her­rington.
Herrintogn gained plenty of
yardage against Tulane, and has been
outstanding in lugging the leather all
season. He is fast as lightning and
brainy as a psychology professor.
The Delta State team has been
strengthened lately by the return of
their captain, Miller Mathews, who
has been out since October 4. Other
stars for the Aggies are Bridges, Horn
and Lenoir. >
The last time that the Tigers and
Aggies met was in Birmingham in
1928. Auburn was rated the favorite,
i
but the Mississippians upset the dope
bucket and the Villagers returned to
the Plains on the short end of a 13
to 0 score. The Aggies are noted for
overturning the dope bucket, especial­ly
this year when the won from L. S.
U. They have been in and outers all

Y.M.C.A. TICKETS
BE RECOGNIZED
IN BIRMINGHAM
Mr. F. M. M. Richardson, general
secretary of the Y. M. C. in Birm­ingham,
has announced that tickets
of membership in the Student's As­sociation
of the Y. M. C. A. will be
honored in Birmingham. The follow­ing
is an extract from Mr. Richard­son's
letter to the General Secretary
of the Auburn Y. M. C. A.
"Students presenting either a tick­et
of membership in the Student As­sociation
or a student's activities
ticket, where such ticket represents
payment in support of the student
Y. M. C. A., may secure the privi­leges
in this association on payment
of the regular schedule of charges
for the privilege desired."
The Auburn General Secretary
states that it is absolutely necessary
that an Association membership card
or its equivalent be presented by the
student for the purpose of identifi­cation.

"INACTIVE" HONOR FRATERNITIES
There are certain groups op this cam­pus
which go by the name of honor so­cieties
in whose constitutions will be found
phrases having to do with the welfare of
the institution; these societies are over­looking
many golden opportunities to car­ry
out this part of their alleged purposes.
From all visible evidences of their activi­ties,
a large number of these are only an­other
means of adding to keep to the already
overload watch chain. It is quite true that
there are a few of these organizations do­ing
quite a bit of good work on the cam­pus
toward the promotion of the best in­terests
of the Alma Mater. But these few
are in a pitiable minority.
Any attempt to analyze this plight of
self-evident stagnation presents a problem
that is most baffling—it seems to have on­ly
one solution. All seem to agree that
the most brilliant minds of the campus may.
be found by merely pursuing the rolls of
the honor societies, and it is most logical to
believe that the very membership, of such
an organization would be a deciding fac­tor
in the production and creation of move­ments
pertaining to the welfare of the in­stitution.
Yet, such is not the case. In­stead
of a feeling of good natured rivalry
existing among these groups as to which
can be of the most service, there is an
evident lackadaisical sentiment of letting
the other fellow do it. Having arrived at
the zenith of success in college by being
initiated into an honor fraternity is no rea­son
for a student or a group of students
to absolutely lay down on the job.
Most of these organizations have for their
basic foundations the highest ideals. It
was never meant by the founders of these
organizations that they should be only a
mere means of marking the outstanding
student. We will grant that this may be
one of the ideals, but it is a very poor or­ganization
indeed that offers only mere
recognition without a chance for further
service.
Members of one such fraternity, realiz­ing
that nothing of benefit to Auburn was
being done, did the best thing possible—
they disbanded and returned the charter.
It might not be a bad idea for members of
several other fraternities to do the same
thing.
In this era of progress, when everything
is steadily advancing forward, one of the
worst possible things a person or organiza­tion
can do is to rest upon its laurels. Such
a thing as remaining at a standstill is
completely out of date; not only is it out
of date, but it is an utter impossibility.
Either we advance or we fall behind. There
is no such thing as standing still. Any
one attempting to do this must inevitably
wake up to find out that the world has
gone on. It does not take twenty years to
make a modern Rip Van Winkle.
ALABAMA PRODUCTS
The time has come -when Alabama people
should give more concern to Alabama prod­ucts.
To do this means to quicken the
return of prosperity. We have in mind a
gas range, made in Birmingham, Alabama,
that is equal in quality, efficiency and price
to any we have ever seen. The rang? we
refer to is the Majik Baker. It has been
specially designed for the Southern house­wife.
Its numerous time and labor sav­ing
features and its oven construction are
particularly desirable for Southern climatic
conditions. This gas range is made entire­ly
of Southern iron and steel . . . the coal
and iron ore are mind right here in Ala­bama.
It is obvious that money spent for
such a 100 per cent Alabama product re­mains
rightly within our own confines, to
keep the wheels of industry turning. We
urge the women of Auburn to thoroughly
inspect the Majik Baker, now on display
in the local office of the Alabama Gas Com­pany
before they definitely decide on any
gas range. Of course, the old saying goes:
"the grass always looks greener on the
other side of the fence," but after having
seen the Majik Baker we wonder if there
is another gas range so beautiful and so
well constructed ... . not to mention the
many modern features, such as, automatic
oven heat control, Rutz automatic lighter
and a dozen other* labor saving devices.

I was most forcefully impressed by an
article by L. O. Dawson in Sunday's Bir­mingham
News on Eugene O'Neill's Strange
Interlude. I am glad to see one journalist
who has the courage of his convictions.
This play has been written by the greatest
American dramatist. That he is a great
dramatist is not to be questioned; judging
by those works of O'Neill that I have read,
I can honestly believe that" he has great
genius and ability. Drama is "thought ex­pressed
by action." Strange Interlude is
just that. But why must the dramatist
express such ugly thoughts?
* * * * *
While I am on the subject of literature,
I might say a word about Voltaire's Can-dide.
Although the French philosopher liv­ed
a long time ago, his successors in the
field of literature have adopted the one
thing that makes his book so popular to­day—
obscenity. The present-day writers
have gone a step further than Voltaire;
his Candide was a satire, while the mod­ern
authors use lewdness to attract atten­tion.
I can not believe that pornography
in literature adds to its aesthetical value;
I believe that literature should appear to
the intellectual desires of man, not to the
base sensual passions. Reading matter is
only worthwhile when it appears to the
nobler instincts, when it provokes thought
on the sublime. But the contemporary au­thor
uses vile language; he says things that
no rationally-minded person can believe;
he appeals to the base desires of the read­er;
he seeks to shatter conventions; and
he vividly portrays things that should for­ever
be buried behind the veil of gentility.
What hell do you think is befitting these
mercenary hypocrites who dare, in the name
of the Almighty Dollar, to polute the minds
of a great people, to violate the literature
of an age, by writing such trash that damns
the present code of ethics and profanes the
good name of literature? . . . However, they
get paid for it.

Friedrich Nietzshe, the great German
philosopher, once said, "Ye shall have peace
as a means of new wars—and the short
peace more than the long." He believed
that man was something to be surpassed,
and that the Prussian people, by following
out and practicing the theory of "the
survival of the fittest", could evolve into
a superior race, to be known as "super­men".
His opinion of war is concisely ex­pressive
of the militaristic policy that has
ruled Germany for many pears. Twelve
years ago yesterday the World War ended,
and the German armies were disorganized
and scattered. Only a few weeks ago one
hundred thousand Prussian soldiers passed
in review at Coblenz, celebrating the evac­uation
of the Rhine district by the British.
These men make up to Stahlhelm, a citizen's
military organization corresponding to our
Officer's Reserve Corps. The policy of
"blood and iron" advocated by Bismark has
always been an outstanding principle of
Prussian government. Efforts are being
made on every hand by radicals to under­mine
the German Republic and to again
make the Fatherland a military power
among the nations of the world. Deutsch
uber alles.
There can be no peace as long as the
world remains as it is today. National
suspicions are everywhere predominant.
"Men may cry, 'peace, peace, but there is
no peace". Many individuals have tried
to perpetuate peace, and all of them have
failed. Peace can not, and will not sur­vive
as long as we cherish such selfish
ideals as patriotism and nationalism.
If democracy is to continue we must edu­cate
for it.—Professor C. C. Peters.
It is far easier to be busy than to be
thoughtful.—Dr. Hugh Black.

Saturday I saw two
great games. But
greatest of all was
the way the Auburn
varsity team fought
through the entire
game in the after­noon.
I am thankful
for many kind state­ments
in the press. I
think they are just
and fair in their appreciation of a' fight­ing
team. There is one thing we can say:
some of the breaks were dead against us.
We practically presented them with two
touchdowns ourselves. But be that as it
may the team fought without any let up
and the net result was that our opponents
had to use their best men practically
throughout the game. I feel encouraged
because I think we are gaining.
* * * * *
Saturday I saw the value of the patrio­tic,
loyal work of a man who may have
thought he would not get much chance this
year. I presume he has always thought he
was the third man and everybody else
thought he was the third man. Possibly
he was but his staying in training, his
participation in every bit of the hard work
of the squad during these weeks that have
passed, made him an important factor in
Saturday's game. Football has come to
the point where third string men are im­portant.
* * * * *
It is a great thing to meet men who were
formerly connected with Auburn—old grad­uates,
old members of the faculty, who re­tain
their sense of loyalty and admiration
for this institution. It is always comfort­ing
to find that those who have gone away
to other fields retain a very tender spot in
their hearts for this institution. That is
a good reputation to have and we ought to
cling to it.
* * * * *
The administrative officers of Tulane, in­cluding
President Dinwiddie, were extreme­ly
courteous and kind during our visit to
New Orleans. I have not visited any in­stitution
where more effort was made to
do the courteous, fine thing toward a ri­val
institution. Dr. Smith, Faculty Chair­man
of Athletics, and President Dinwiddie
were extremely cordial and we appreciat­ed
it.
* * * * *
I cannot urge with sufficient emphasis
the importance of caring for these new
public buildings. At the present time we
are putting into the Textile Building im­portant,
delicate and expensive machinery.
I have been inspecting some of the other
buildings and I am very much distressed
at the thoughtlessness apparent on the part
of some students. Many of our students
write in the public press about culture and
cultural subjects. We keep using that word
constantly but it is pretty difficult to think
there is much culture in the mind or heart
of an individual who will permit himself
to injure a thing of beauty. One of the
marks of culture is consideration and any
decent consideration of the purposes and
objectives of this institution ought to lead
a person of any culture whatever to re­frain
from doing things which would bring
marks of injury to and otherwise deface
these beautiful new buildings. A man who
scratches a match upon the walls or spits
tobacco juice upon the floors or walls of a
public building has no right to be consid­ered
in the least a cultured man. I doubt
whether there is a single student in this
institution who would not resent a person
walking in and spitting tobacco juice in
the middle of a choice table spread of his
mother in his home parlor, or the breaking
of the arm of the arm chair in the parlor
of his home. And yet that is practically
what has been done by a few thoughtless
students. The only serious question in my
mind is whether they belong in Auburn or
whether they are entitled to an education
at the expense of the public.

In a Louisiana town. , -v
The Auburn Band was holding sway,
It had come to claim it's crown.
"Gabie" was blowing his trumpet, loud,
And "Goof" was blowing his horn.
No sweeter music has ever been heard,
Since the Spirit of Auburn was born.
The band was playing a lively tune",
For the town, playing as host
The band stood holding the crowd's gaze,
While I stood holding a post.
The crowd enjoyed this lively tune,
And too, I enjoyed it lots.

My Opinion
By Vasili Leoniduitch
Yesterday the world paused to commemo­rate
a great event. Most of us were ex­cused
from a few classes, all over the na­tion
people got drunk, went on picnics, and
many felt inclined to make speeches. Yet,
how few weighed the true significance of
the occasion in their minds. It marked the
close of a bloody struggle between men of
common loves, ambitions, and ideals—men
who knew joy and sorrow in the same way.
All fighting without hate, fighting to kill
rather than be killed. Men who had for­gotten
patriotism, the principles for which
they fought, and were transformed into
creatures who followed nature's first law,
self-preservation. Well may those blasts
of oratory that rung across the land yes­terday
be converted into pleas for a world
peace.
* * * * *
The American Council on Education is
making plans to envolve a system which
will make student advancement in college
dependent on actual achievements in learn­ing
rather than in spending a certain time,
such as semesters, in study. Freshman
English now for example counts six semes­ter
hours for the student who manages
to meet the minimum requirements. Under
the proposed system it might count twice
as much for the student who distinguished
himself from the man who just got by.
I shall welcome the day when the dull
student receives his diploma as certificate
that he has breathed the air of his institu­tion
for a prescribed time and stayed out
of jail. Letting college offer opportunities
for those who are willing and capable to
get ahead.

Within the next few days I hope to jour­ney
to the Capital city to witness a pre­sentation
of the "Strange Interlude", wond­ering
if I shall still consider Eugene O'Neil
a wonderful dramatist with abnormal sex­ual
instincts.

Leoniduitch thinks so much of himself to
praise Auburn students who register with
a blue card. I could stand being called a
The Gazook
I'm the Gazook who is water shy. It is
very seldom that I take a bath. I know
that the only reason that I do not bathe
often is because I am very lazy. It does
not cost anything to take a bath, but I
am the "good-for-nothing" kind of a per­son.
I think it is very unusual for a man
to go without bathing, and I know that my
roommate wishes that I would move to the
stables and live with the goats. At any
rate, they would give me competition.
It is a wonder that I'm not dead already,
because of the filth that is on and around
me. I know the old proverb "Cleanliness
is next to Godliness." I also know that I
can never amount to anything if I stay in
this old rut. Some of my very best friends
keep away from me now. I have often
wondered if I have halitosis or whether
it is my feet.
If I would live like my mother taught
me, I would be O. K.
LET'S GO TO GERMANY
That the American girl is allowed far
less liberty in college than the German
girl, contrary to the general impression, is
the opinion of Miss Ann De Papp, of Ger­many,
an exchange student at Wellesley
College.
American girls work harder at their
studies through the semester, Miss de Papp
said, but German girls study harder for
the final examinations, which are very dif­ficult
in Germany.
Two students of Muskingum College are
in a serious condition from burns received
in a laboratory explosion at the college.

"soap-box orator", yes, even endure the
burning criticism and social led-down of
being placed on the blacklist of one of the
leading sororities, but to be called con­ceited
is too much. Yet the inconsistency
of the statement rather amuses me, much
like our antiquated librarian, who is con­tinually
calling~for silence while she keeps
up a chatter that would try the nerves of
a civil engineer.

EDITOR'S NOTE: The opinions expressed in
this column are not necessarily the editorial

of our editorial policy.
* * * * *
ONE of our students was heard to re­mark
that there is a rule in effect in
Auburn governing every possible act
of the students. The veracity of this state­ment
cannot be too highly exemplified. We
are surrounded by a cordon o"f petty rules
and regulations which do justice to a girls'
school three generations back.
These mandatory precepts that we regu­late
ourselves by are the capricious whims
of a generation gone by. Those vested
with authority assume the attitude that we
must be compelled to do certain things.
Nothing is left to the discretion of the col­lege
man. Prudence is not considered one
of the attributes of the young man. We are
not deemed capable of governing ourselves.
The rules ^governing our few social events
are indications of our backwardness. The
pessimistic attitude of those who do not be­lieve
in the younger generation acts as an
impediment to progress. The portentous
ideas of these people are not in harmony
with the views of the students. Those of
us who wish to promote the social side of
our colllege life find our hands shackled.
Our desires conflict with those of the ad­ministration.
Last spring Blue Steele was employed
to furnish music for the Easter dances at
the University of Alabama. We do not even
have an Easter dance. The three major
dances have been cut down to two days
each. We pay the paltry four hundred dol­lars
for an orchestra for these dances when
Alabama pays four times that much for
an Easter dance. Everyone knows that a
well-known orchestra is necessary for the
success of a set of dances.
The institution is heartily condemned for
its attitude toward visiting young ladies.
It seems to be the desire of the adminis­tration
to keep our girl friends out of town
as much as possible. During the major
dances the girls are insulted at every turn.
They are treated as undesirables and their
presence is not welcomed.
The girls who come here are not accus­tomed
to chaperones. They do not have
to be told what to~3o and when to do it.
Their competency is recognized and respect­ed
at home. If the parents of these girls
approve of their coming here it is but logi­cal
to assume that they know how to con­duct
themselves. Nothing less than soli­tary
imprisonment can keep a woman from
doing as she wishes, so why impose on
them?
The vitriolic condemnation of these rules
is apparent all over the campus. It is pos­sible
to alter these conditions for the bet­ter.
Much has been said relative to the pos­sible
resumption of athletic relationships
with the University of Alabama. It seems
to be the concensus of opinion that such
an even would be very desirable. We talk
about it and read what others say about it,
but what has been done toward renewing
the relationships?
The old feeling of animosity between the
two institutions has become extinct. The
hatchet has been buried by both parties.
We find the Alabama student body pulling
for Auburn in the contests and here we
find our students backing Alabama. The
spirit of friendly rivalry is keen. This is
the spirit to be cultivated between the two
schools.
We would like to see some concrete evi­dence
that negotiations are under way to
accomplish this end.

WEDNESDAY, NOV. 12, 1930 THE PLAINSMAN PAGE THREE
Tigers Put Up Brave Fight Against
Greenies But Lose By 21 to 0 Score
By Adrian Taylor
Coach Wynne's well coached Tig­ers,
game to the core, battled the
Tulane Greenies tooth and nail be­fore
12,000 fans Saturday, and when
they left the field, they were bloody
but not unbowed.
Tulane won the struggle 21-0,
after as tough a struggle as they
have had this year. They won it be-
' cause they had simply too much pow­er
for the Plainsmen, who repulsed
two dire threats before finally yield­ing
the first touchdown in the middle
of the second period.
The pounding of Nollie Felts and
the slashing off tackle runs of Don
Zimmerman produced the three Tu­lane
touchdowns—three hard earned
touchdowns, for Auburn fought dog­gedly
for every yard.
Felts played a great game for the
Greenies, he ran well, blocked well
and kicked splendidly. He scored
the first and third touchdowns on
plunges, and Zimmerman scored the
third on a plunge.
Zimmerman and Felts did most of
the ground gaining for Tulane, and
Felts backed the line with tremen­dous
effect.
However Tom Brown, at fullback,
was meeting the Tulane plays at
the line of scrimmage and was do­ing
the hardest tackling that this
writer has ever witnessed. He dump­ed
many a Tualne player uncere­moniously
during the time he was in
there. Injuries kept him out of the
second half.
A Tulane lateral pass seemed to
bewilder the Auburn defense, but
the Tigers battled, never stopped
battling.
The Tigers were handicapped for
nearly three quarters by the en­forced
absence of Captain Harkins
at center. He got in for a few min­utes
but Coach Wynne thought it
best to save him from further in­juries.
The Auburn forwards gave Tulane
the dickens. Burt, Primm, Jones and
Arthur stood out on defense in the
line, and Egge, Grant and Jordan did
splendid work.

FOOT 99
THE man who's making his
"M. A." as well as the man
who's making the team—the
fellow whose foot-work is from
class to class as well as t h e
bright boy who can foot it in
10 seconds flat—any one or all
of them stand a good chance
of having that ringworm in­fection
commonly known as
"Athlete's Foot." In fact, 50%
of the men in universities as
widely separated as those of
Pennsylvania and California
have caught it, according to
authoritative reports. "At least
half of all adults suffer from
it at some time," according to
the U. S. Public Health Service.
The symptoms vary, but all
are traceable to one germ,
tinea trichophyton by name.
Sometimes it starts with redness
between the toes and i-t-c-h-i-n-g.
Again, tiny blisters appear; or
it may show itself in a thick,
moist skin condition; or dryness
with little scales.
It lurks in the very places
where we all go for cleanliness
and health—-on the edges of
swimming pools and showers—
in gymnasiums—on locker- and
dressing-room floors. In spite
of modern sanitation (you have
to boil socks 15 minutes to kill
it) this fungus parasite infects
and re-infects bare feet almost
any time they come in contact
with damp floors.

It might not be a bad idea to

Hatfield, Hitchcock and Davidson,
the other backfield aces, also did
noble work against tremendous odds.
The game was hard fought and at
times very rough. Jerry Dalrymple
brought down a penalty on Tulane
for roughness and Morris Bodenger
was chased from the game and Tu­lane
penalized half the distance to
their goal line for unsportsmanlike
tactics.
A summary of the game follows:
The first period was scoreless. Af­ter
kicking off to Auburn Tulane got
the ball and drove down field making
three first downs in a row. But Au­burn
got the ball on its 20-yard line.
From a front position on kick
formation, Tom Brown scared the
Greenie fans with a 29-yard dash
around left end, being forced out of
bounds just inside of midfield.
Two bad passes from center—
Johnson, a green youngster—re­sulted
in Tulane's getting the ball
on Auburn's 48-yard line. Once again
Zimmerman and Felts and Glover
slashed away in a few moments it
was a first down on Auburn's 23-yard
line.
But Tulane couldn't go any furth­er
and Auburn took the ball on its
15-yard line. Those were too gal­lant
stands, the Plainsmen had.made
but their strength was spending it­self.
Hitchcock broke away for a 15-
yard gain and a few moments later
yHatfield made a 25-yard advance.
Finally, after the second period had
started, Hitchcock punted over the
Tulane goal line.
An Auburn penalty of 15 yards
and some Tulane short g a i ns
brought the ball to Tulane's 45-yard
line and Felts, with the wind at his
back, punted 55 yards over the Au­burn
goal line.
Here's where Auburn cracked. On
two plays Brown lost 11 yards. Then
Hitchcock, rushed by Dalrymple, got
off a punt of only four yards, the
ball going out of bounds.
It was Tulane's ball on the 13-yard
line and the jig was up. Zimmerman
and Glover, in three plays gained six
yards and on a lateral pass, Dawson
to Zimmerman, Don stepped off six
yards and made a first down on Au­burn's
one-yard line. .Felts crashed
through. Glover's kick was missed,
but Auburn was offsides and Tulane
got the point.
That first touchdown was hard
earned. The second came easier.
After the kick-off Auburn couldn't
gain and Hitchcock punted dead to
Tulane's 40-yard line.
A plunge by Felts and Zimmer­man's
33-yard run put the ball on
Auburn's 31-yard line. Felts pound­ed
along for six-and Zimmerman got
three. Then Felts hammered out five
more yards and the oval was on the
16-yard stripe.
Another lateral pass to Zimmer­man
gained 10 yards and a first
down on the six-yard ribbon. Felts
picked up a yard. Zimmerman got
two more. And then Don dived over.
Glover kicked goal and it was 14 to
0.
The Greenies were scoreless again
in the third period though they
threatened several times. In the
fourth period, however, Tulane start­ed
a march from its 35-yard line.
The Greenies made three first
downs in a row when Davidson inter­cepted
a pass on Auburn's 13-yard
line. Two plays later, Hatfield fum­bled
and Holland recovered for Tu­lane
on Auburn's 18-yard line.
Zimmerman cut back over right
tackle for nine yards and Felts got
a yards, and then Felts went over.
Once more Glover kicked goal
and it was 21 to 0. After the kick-off,
Auburn made a first down on
Hatfield's 11-yard run, got 15 more
when Dalrymple roughed him and
then picked 23% yards on Boden-ger's
indiscretion. A Tulane offside
penalty carried the ball to Tulane's

Tulane Freshmen Defeated 19-0 By
Tiger Rats in Great Game Saturday
New Orleans, La., Nov. 8.—Au­burn's
Rat eleven downed the Tu­lane
Freshmen Saturday morning
with a burst of power and a fine air
game, 19 to nothing.
Outplayed until the final five min­utes
of the first half, the baby Ben­gals
of Auburn staged a vicious drive
from their 16-yard line and wound
up with a touchdown on a fourth
down forward pass.
From then on the Plainsmen dom­inated
the game, having the little
billow on the defensive practically
all of the second half.
A forward pass from Phipps to
Ariail for eight yards, produced the
first Auburn touchdown. Ariail, a
tall lad, admirably adapted to receive
passes, grabbed the ball on the goal
line, though covered by a Tulane
back.
An 80-yard run by "Red" Head,
after a catching a short pass from
Phipps, through the whole Tulane
team early in the third period pro­duced
the second Auburn score. Head
broke off right tackle and twisted out
of the grasp of three or four tack-lers.
By that time a fan of inter­ference
had formed in front of him
and he swept down the field for the
score. The third and final Auburn
tally came in the middle of the fourth
period when the redoubtable Phipps
tossed a perfect heave to the equally
as redoubtable Ariail for a 50-yard
gain and a touchdown.
Phipp's 25-yard heave found Ariail
on the dead run, and the long boy
in Orange took it in without slack­ening
his speed and romped the rest
of the way to the goal.
Only once, on this last touchdown,
was the goal converted. Neal place-kicked
for the point.
Jack Cannon, Notre Dame's all-
America guard last year, showed a
well-coached, strong outfit with plen­ty
of power in its backfield and
weight in its line.
True to the Notre Dame tradition,
Cannon din't start his regular backs
until the second quarter had started
and their freshness turned the tide.
Ted Bank's Greenie frosh put up a
dandy game, despite the fact that
they did not possess their full
strength. The baby billow held the
Plainsmen at bay during almost the
entire first half, but they couldn't
last.

APPEARS IN COLLEGE HUMOR
"The girl whose ambition and aim
is to charm is still the winner with
men. And, believe men, she's rarely
a ocllege graduate," declares Nina
Wilcox Putnam in the December Col­lege
Humor. "I am particularly pre­judiced
against colleges run strictly
for women, but feel that there is a
lot to be said in favor of co-education­al
institutions. In fact, I believe the
worst than can be said against the
latter is that a co-educational insti­tution
throws people of opposite sexes,
who are still pretty young for the
task, into a lot of grown-up situations
which they are really not capable of
handling.
"But the purely feminine college,
run by women for women, is a holy
terror, to my mind. To me it seems
to do something awful to a girl. It's
a completely false world to begin with,
because women are basically rivals all
through their lives and do not herd to­gether
naturally and impersonally as
men do. Therefore, a vast campus
simply crawling with females who ape
the independence of men without ach­ieving
the solidarity of men is to me
a false and pitiful thing. And atten­dance
at such college more often than
not leaves a girl hanging midway be­tween
intellectual snobbery and prac­tical
education in living, without ach­ieving
either. Of course in the case
of a girl who is deliberately planning
a career to which a special course of
study is essential, my verdict is en­tirely
different. She must, of course,
go to colllege.
"But for an average girl who in­tends
to make marriage her chief bus­iness—

still in the majority-^to waste four

But why do we turn especially to
the schools on a day such as this?
It is because we realize that, as we
hops to control, and direct the prog­ress
of mankind in the future, and
reach out toward the realization of a
better and happier world, we must
build the ideals of the future into the
minds and hearts of the boys and girls
of today.
In their classrooms and assemblies
and school libraries these young Amer­icans
are reading and studying and
discussing the problems of the new
America. They are becoming keenly
aware of the momentous events going
on in a changing world. The spirit
of the men, who have produced the
Kellog Peace Pact becomes the spirit
of our coming generation.
Through his age-long climb out of
the ignorance, fear and superstition of
savagery, man has treasured up those
things he deems of worth. These we
call the heritage of the race, and to
the school has been intrusted the task
of passing on to the young this most
valued heritage of wisdom, custom,
habits and ideals. The knowledge,
customs, and habits tie us to the past.
But the ideals reach out toward man's
plan for a better world. It is there­fore
in the loyalties, devotion and
ideals that are inspired in our youth
that we must repose faith for the fu­ture.
This is why we turn to the
schools as perhaps the chief agency
in building a better world.
Who can estimate the world signif­icance
of the sending of a thousand
dolls by American school children as
a gift to Japanese children for their
doll festival? And where will end the
influence of the thousands of letters
exchanged each year between school
children of America and France,
Italy, Czecho Slovakia and England?
Who can realize a warless world ex­cept
a new generation untrained to
thoughts of war, bitterness and ha­tred?
Youth will create a new world of
co-operation and progress and peace.
The schools are training him for this
task by means of enriched studies in
history, civics, and literature through
the co-operative studies in history,
civics and literature; through the co­operative
activities of a socialized
school; on the athletic field; in the
government of the school; in the
practice of greater social responsibil­ity.
The ideals of the older generation
becomes theachievements of the new.

Temple U. Students
to Study Photographs
Philadelphia, Pa. — (IP) — Strip
film photography has been adopted
by the School of Medicine at Temple
University here as the best method of
teaching medicine.
Strip film photography is different
from motion pictures in that it con­sists
of the making for projection
purposes of single photographic ex­posures,
usually in series, on strips
of standard motion picture film.
The camera used at Temple is
small enough to be carried in a man's
coat pocket, and yet it takes perfect
pictures, according to university au­thorities.

precious years that ought to be de­voted
to romantic adventure, at a col­lege
which offers contact only with
her own sex, seems tragic. And
what's more, the experience is often
mighty unhealthy for her whole point
of view on sex.
"Some wise author, I'm not suffi­ciently
educated to . remember his
name, once pulled a splendid gag to
the effect that a little knowledge is
a dangerous* thing. And that's how I
feel about the knowledge a girl gets
at a female university. What's the
value of a smattering of the classics,
a course in trig, or a sentence or two
in a dead language, all of which is
soon forgotten, as against the good,
red hot warming-up for the business
of life which a girl gets out of nor­mal
social contacts during the four
years which she averages before mar­riage
and after school? Why waste
that precious intervl by putting a
girl in a sort of home for grown-up
female orphans where life is arti­ficial
to the nth degree and bears no
relation to her real future?
"Let's keep college for the grinds
and let our marriageable daughters
strut their stuff at home. And if a
girl wants an occupation, let her get
a job of work. Any work, practical­ly,
will teach her more in a month
that will be of real value to her than
she'll pull out of four years at Wrech-em
College."

season. Saturday's game in the Magic
City is expected to be close any way
you try to figure it out.
The playing of the Plainsmen in
New Orleans against Tulane was not
discouraging the least bit. They were
in worse shape than they have entered
any game this year, but fought hard
throughout the clash and emerged
with another moral victory. If sev­eral
moral victories would count for
one real victory, the Tigers would
have a contest in the win column.
Capt. Dunham Harkins was unable
to start against the 1929 champions
and his understudy, Lee Johnson, was
injured in the first quarter. This
was one of the first breaks received
by the Greenies. Hitchcock was back
to punt, but Johnson's hand was still
numb and all he could do was to
barely roll it back. Hitchcock picked
the ball up, but could not punt with
several Olive and White players clos­ing
in on him, so tried to sweep the
end, but was nailed a few yards short
of first down. This gave the Greenies
the pigskin in midfield. When it was
determined that Johnson's injury
would not get better, Coach Wynne
sent in Harkins, but the Tiger's leader
was able to play only about eighteen
minutes. Ralph Jordan, third-string
center, played the last half and battled
like a veteran. He fought all the time
and looked good, but Harkins absence
was easily noticeable in the playing
of the team. He is a leader who in­spires
his mates with his brilliant
playing.
In the ball carrying aepartment
against Tulane, Chattie Davidson did
some nice blocking, especially when
Hitchcock was punting, and Lindley
Hatfield, Tom Brown and Jimmie
Hitchcock made some nice runs, and
all did some deadly and fierce tackling
on the defense, but the players who
deserve most of the credit for the
showing made against Tulane are the
linesmen.
Only four substitutions were made
in the Bengals forward wall in the
Tulane battle. Harkins went in for
Johnson at center and Jordan replac­ed
him, and Molpus substituted for
Jones at right guard in the second
quarter and Burt at left guard in the
final period. Egge, Arthur, Burt,
Jones, Prim, Molpus, Jordan, Harkins,
Grant and Johnson took an awful
battering but emerged with flying
colors.
Especially was the work of Robert
Arthur, Hannis Prim and Donald
Jones outstanding. They are only
sophomores, but any one viewing the
game in New Orleans will tell you
that Numbers 26, 31 and 11 were in
the midst of every play. They battled
like seniors instead of first-year var­sity
players. Their playing has been
improving with every game. Sopho­mores
seldom receive mention for their
playing, but when a trio of moleskin
wearers play like Arthur, Jones and
Prim did, they will rank with veterans
on any team. They were facing a for­ward
wall intact from 1929, but star­red.
Arthur is a former Woodlawn lu­minary
and has already made it
known that he expects to play his
best game of the year before the
homefolks Saturday in the "Pittsburg
of the South." Captain Dunham Har­kins,
Joe Burt, George Holdcroft, Roy
Pate, Carl Creel, Alternate-Captain
Erquiet Taylor and Arthur Kirkby
are other Jefferson County boys on
Auburn's 1930 team who are expected
to be at their best against the Aggies.

men who came through the war
without being wounded. Clayton
served under Company H, 51st de­tachment
of the Infantry in the 6th
Division and served his hardest duty
in the march through the Argonne
forest, one of the most terrific drives
of the war. Bis brotiher, Jessie,
went to the front lines in the 17th
Infantry, but was not as lucky as
James in that he was wounded.
Gas was the cause of Rex Ditto's
wound stripe, which he received
while under Battery D of the 16th
Field Artillery in the 4th division.
There are men here who played
as important a part in the war as did
those who saw front line duty. Iria
Alexander, of the air service, saw
duty in France, and James Averett,
sergeant, served with the 24th Field
Hospital of the Medical Corps. John
Ball was a member of the 82nd di­vision,
known as the "All American
Division". He was in Company M of
the 325th Infantry. The "All Amer­ican
Division" trained at Atlanta,
Georgia.
These war veterans have vivid
memories of those eventful days of
twelve years ago and often they
gather in groups and entertain each
other with accounts of the deeds of
heroism and horror which were so
great a part of their lives twelve
years ago.
