Greenies Have Impressive Wins
Over Georgia Tech. And
Miss. A. and M.
ZIMMERMAN LEADS FOES
Hatfield To See Service For
First Time Since Ga.
Tech Game
By Elmer G. Salter
Instilled with new spirit following
their#overwhelming defeat of the Wofford
Terriers last Saturday on Drake
Field, Chet Wynne's Auburn Tigers
started work Monday afternoon in
preparation for what looks like the
strongest foe that they will encounter
this season.
Tulane, 1929 Southern Conference
champions whose record this year
ranks with Alabama and other leading
teams in the United States, will be
played in New Orleans Saturday. It
will be the third conference battle for
the Greenies and the" fourth for the
Plainsmen. Tulane has defeated
Georgia Tech and Mississippi A. &
M. in their own midst by decisive
scores, while the Orange and Blue
eleven has made gallant stands
against Florida, Georgia Tech, and
Georgia. Every one is more than
satisfied with Auburn's victories and
looses so far this year. Too much
cannot be expected from an inexperienced
team that is using a new system
for the first time without even
having a Spring training.
Both participants in Saturday's tilt
in the Crescent City won by large
scores against Wofford and Mississippi
Aggies. The Tigers were masters
in every department in winning
38 to 6 and the same can be applied
to the defending champs, who trounced
Chris Cagle's promising Maroons
53 to 0.
It was a sophomore who starred for
both teams. Jimmie Hitchcock,
Wynne's outstanding punter and ball
lugger, made a point-a minute against
the Terriers. He annexed four touchdowns
and made one extra point during
his stay in the game which was
25 minutes. Zimmerman, Bernie Bier-man's
prized sophomore, crossed the
goal three times against the Stark-ville
eleven. The two forward walls
will have to be at their best if they
bottle up these two brilliant ball carriers.
The Greenies front is the most experienced
that the Plainsmen will face
this season. The seven stalwarts who
carried the Bierman team through
an undefeated campaign in 1929, have
returned almost intact this year. The
only loss that • Tulane suffered was
losing their quartet of first-string
backs, but they have gathered another

Freshman Team Loses Game
To Georgia Tech Rats 20 to 6
Phipps Climaxes 70 Yard Attack
With Touchdown For
Baby Tigers' Lone Score
Georgia Tech freshmen won a well-earned
20 to 6 victory over the Auburn
yearlings in Atlanta Saturday
afternoon.
The Plainsmen scored their only
touchdown in the closing minutes after
resorting to a desperate aerial drive
in the greater part of the last half.
Two of Tech's touchdowns followed
sustained drives while the third
resulted from an 85 yard run.
The first quarter offered little excitement
as both teams punted frequently.
Galloway of Tech had the
edge in this department.
Tech opened its drive as the second
period opened but was stopped
by an intercepted pass on the 20 yard
line. Dupree, Head, Phipps, and
Neal then rushed the ball back 45
yards toward the Tech goal. Kid
Clay's team held on the 35 yard stripe
and drove back for a touchdown, aided
by two Auburn penalties. Peeler went
through the line for the marker, but
the kick went wide.
Galloway's punting again proved
the determining factor in the third
quarter as Auburn took to the air in
an effort to score. Baker's fumble
in the shadow of Tech's goal cut one
Auburn drive short.
Paterson and Galloway alternated
at carrying the ball from midfield to
a touchdown as the last period opened.
Paterson bucked over. Galloway's
kick was wide, but Auburn was offside
and the point counted.
Later Paterson intercepted a lateral
pass and dashed 85 yards for the final
touchdown. The kick was good.
Phipps bucked one yard for Auburn's
touchdown after passes had advanced
the ball 70 yards. The kick
was wide.

Auburn Lions Club Now
Promoting Many Worthy
Educational Movements
Work Includes Movement For
Student Loan Fund and Lee
County Library
Progress being made in the various
educational projects of the Auburn
Lions Club was outlined in a
report made by Chas. W. Edwards at
the regular meeting of the club held
in the Thomas Hotel at noon. He
stated that the Committee on Student
Loan Fund of the Association
of Alabama Colleges has practically
completed working out the details of
the plan of organizations and operation
of the proposed Alabama Student
Loan Fund which is to be established
under the Association of
Colleges. The Alabama Student
Loan Fund plan will afford all individuals
and organizations in the
state an opportunity to aid in putting
a college education within reach of
every young Alabamian of character
and ability, he pointed out. Within
a short time a letter will be mailed
to each club asking the club to state
the amount it wishes to contribute to
the fund for operating expenses. The
Auburn Lions Club is planning to
subscribe a substantial sum for this
worthy project.
Edwards reported that the most
recent endorsements of the movement
to establish a Lee County Library
were those of the Lee County
Council of Parents and Teachers, the
Business and Professional Women of
Auburn, the Gold Hill Home Demon-,
stration Club, and the Mentor Club
of Opelika.

Architectural Exhibit
Opens to Public Today
Sixteen drawings of student designs
which have received medal
awards from the Beaux-Arts Institute
of Design are on display in the exhibition
room of the School of Architecture
and Allied Arts. They will
remain on exhibition until Saturday
of this week. The colleges represented
in this display are Mass. Institute
of Tecnnology, Carnegie Institute of
Technology, New York University,
University .of Illinois, Princeton,
Catholic University of America,
Cleveland School of Architecture,
Texas A. and M. College, and New
York School of Interior Decoration.
This exhibition will be open to the
public from 8:00 until 12:00 each
morning and from 1:00 until 5:00
each afternoon.
The unveiling of the portrait of
John J. Wilmore, Dean of the School
of Engineering, took place in the gymnasium
last night at seven o'clock.
Professor J. C. McKinnon, member
of Tau Beta Pi, honorary engineering
fraternity which sponsored the movement,
presided over the presentation
ceremonies.
R. F. Ham, president of Tau Beta
Pi as first speaker told briefly of the
work of that organization in sponsoring
the painting of the portrait. Following
Ham, Professor C. A. Baugh-man
gave a short talk on Dean Wil-more's
character, mentioning his keen
sense of humor. Professor Baugh-man
told the audience he never enjoyed
any contacts as much as those
made in his work with the Dean.
Professor Roy H. Staples also addressed
the audience telling a few
facts concerning the painting of the
picture and its difficulties. He said
that the sittings for the painting
which took over forty hours, were
distributed over a month, many days
of which were exceedingly uncomfortable
due to the heat. Before starting
to make the painting a suitable
frame had to be selected to match the
one on the portrait of Erskine Ramsay,
now hanging in the Ramsay Engineering
Building. Having selected
the frame it was necessary to make
the painting to fit it. Continuing
Professor Staples told what a pleasure
it had been to help in making such
a worthy contribution.
Professor McKinnon then presented
the portrait of the Dean to Dr. Knapp
who graciously accepted the same in
his own behalf and the faculty and
students of Auburn. Dr. Knapp said
that this contribution by the students
was indeed a "beau geste." However,
he continued, "We get out of anything
just what we put into it. No
remark could possibly be made which
would justly compensate Dean for
his work at Auburn." Dr. Knapp further
stated that the inscription on
the bronze tablet which is to accompany
the portrait contained a phrase

pronounced the dances thus far to be
successful ventures. The advisability
of having invitations for the Mid-
Term Dances was discussed, and plans
for the freshmen elections were talked
over. No definite date for the latter
has as yet been determined upon.
Representatives of the cabinet from
the freshman class were discussed, but
again nothing definite was decided.
Lantern Slides Shown
At Pharmacy Meeting
Speaking on modern methods of
salesmanship in retail drug stores,
Mr. C. C. Willard, southern division
sales manager for the Western Company,
a national wholesale drug concern,
addressed the Pharmaceutical
Society, Monday night. He was introduced
by Mr. George Baines, of
Atlanta, honorary member of the society,
who assisted Mr. Willard by
showing lantern slides while the latter
made his address.
The main point of Mr. Willard's
talk was the promotion of larger sales
by retail druggists through more efficient
methods of selling. By means
of slides, he showed the average
American income, the percentage
spent in retail drug stores, and the
possibilities of increasing profits by
a better understanding of modern
sales practice. The slides used were
authentic and impartial to any particular
brand of goods, as they had
been prepared by the American Re-

SOUTHERN NATURAL GAS COMPANY
OPENS COOKING SCHOOL IN AUBURN
The enrollment of Auburn in resident
teaching, extension teaching, and
services rendered in all parts of the
State totals 73,286 for the year 1930-
31. The total enrollment in resident
teaching is 4,216, of which number
1,900 are students at Auburn and enrolled
for the regular term of nine
months.
These figures were revealed by a
tabulated statement on enrollment released
from the office of President
Bradford Knapp, which stated that all
figures show large increases.
Figures on resident teaching include,
in addition to the 1,900 regular
students, the summer session, 1,191;
short course for 4-H club girls, 147;
short course for farm men and women,
818; meter school for public service
men, 115; and a short course for veterinarians,
45, making a total of 4,216.
In extension work 915 persons are
enrolled in extension teaching courses
and in correspondence study; more
than 30,000 farms are reached through
extension work in agriculture and
home economics; 9,535 women are enrolled
in home demonstration clubs;
and 28,620 white boys and girls are
enrolled in 4-H club work, making a
total extension enrollment of 69,070.
This added to the resident teaching
figure of 4,216 gives a total enrollment
for Auburn of 73,286.
To date 1,813 students have enrolled
for the regular nine-months term at
Auburn. Before the end of the year
this figure is almost certain to pass
the 1,900 mark, as approximately 100
new students entered for the second
term last year.
In announcing enrollment Dr.
Knapp explained that Auburn does
two types of work in education. "This
institution not only gives instruction
to various groups attending Auburn,
but through its extension divisions
also renders educational service to
groups living in nearly all parts of
Alabama who are unable to come to
Auburn," he said.

large attendance at these gatherings
is desired, and all students and residents
of Auburn are invited to be
present.
Mr. Jennings was here last spring
during go-to-church week which was
sponsored by the Y. M. C. A., and
will be glad to welcome him back to
Auburn. He has just returned from
a summer trip to the Scottish Highlands.
Mr. Jennings is a former
banker who retired from active bank
work in order that he might devote
his full time to Social Service. He
is now head of the American branch
of the Toc-H, an English society
which grew up during the World War.
In America there are three branches
to this society. These are at Washington,
the American headquarters,
Philadelphia, and New York. Mr.
Jennings is a very interesting speaker,
and no one will regret going to
these meetings, according to members
of the student body who were in his
audience last spring.
The Alabama Beekeepers' Association

and Mr. J. M. Robinson
of Auburn, secretary-treasurer of the
association, have arranged a very interesting
and beneficial program for
the meeting.
One of the association's policies is
to have an out of state speaker at
each convention. This year Dr. E.
F. Phillips of Cornell University,
Ithaca, New York, will be the principal
speaker. Dr. Phillips is head
professor of Bee Culture at Cornell

GIVE THE TEAM A ROUSING
SEND-OFF
On Saturday will be held the annual football
game with Tulane University in New
Orleans. This has always been an important
game between Auburn and Tulane,
and each year the team has been given a
sendoff in the form of a monstrous torchlight
parade.
The team will leave Thursday night instead
of Friday, as the trip is long, and is
apt to have some effect on the men if it
is made the night before the game.
The torchlight parade on Thursday night
should be the biggest that has ever been
held by Auburn students. There is no reason
why every student should not join in
the demonstration. The pajama parade
prior to the Tech game was possibly the
largest mass meeting in several years, but
the sendoff to New Orleans should be even
greater.
For the past two weeks, the mass meetings
have been very poorly attended, both
by students and the band. The Friday
night before the Georgia game was a bad
night, it is true, but the cold should not
have prevented a larger gathering last
Friday.
Students have clearly shown their intention
of backing the team to the ultimate
point. They have voted to contribute a
part of their dues in order that the Auburn
Band and the cheerleaders might go
to New Orleans. The presence of the band
and cheerleaders is almost necessary. Assisted
by the students present at the game
they will form a strong support for the
team.
Judging from the willingness with which
the classes voted to send the band and
cheerleaders, it is only natural to expect
the students to again voice their support
of the team in the form of a gigantic torchlight
parade sendoff.
THE PROFESSORS DEBT TO
THE STUDENT
"One of the most significant differences
of modern education theory, as contrasted
with that underlying earlier practices, is
the subtle change in the conception of the
relationship between the student and his
preceptor. Picture how crushingly the
youth would have been answered who, in
a time previous to this, hinted that his
teacher owed him a debt of learning. It
may be that our assertions will be considered
similarly presumptuous even in this
enlightened day and on this singularly liberal
Campus, but past treatment has encouraged
us to assume the demeanor of the upstart.
So taking advantage of the new
conception we launch ourselves into what
may prove a most tempestuous sea.
"If knowledge and culture is a gift from
the gods that everyone is entitled to possess,
are not those who are entrusted with this
ambrosia responsible for its fair distribution?
Is not the professor, who serves as
the common disperser of his science in duty
bound to see that each and every intended
recipient be made aware of the value of the
gift imparted? If so, is the dry-as-dust
pedagogue fulfilling his trust by boring
students with monotonous intonations of
hackneyed phrases, even though in doing
so he is covering the required ground? Is
he not robbing the cradle of the freshness
of the apple whose succulence he himself
has sucked? He is, we impassionedly cry,
and he should be classed with the most degraded
and contemptible of the parasites.
"All knowledge must originally have been
interesting, otherwise who would have taken
the trouble to have gleaned it in the
beginning? Yet we are all witnesses of
the fact that there is a great deal that
tires us. In between somewhere the flavor
has been lost. Who has stolen it? The
thief is the deadly professor, the academic
pedant who mechanically mouths in flat
tones the inspiring facts given flaming life
by keener minds. He invariably is the type
of professor who acts with condescension
to the student, who hypocritically plays.the
role of a thrower of pearls, and who writes
profound theses on what in the world is
the younger generation coming to. He is
the menace. He is the indebted one. And
the student is the person of whose simplicity
advantage has been taken.-—The Columbia
Spectator.

I see that Leoniduitch has noticed the

May I take this opportunity to express

Then there is the shallow-minded person
who is always looking for a "beat".
He pays his father's good money to come
to school here, to be able to go to class,
yet he goes to each meeting with high
hopes of getting a "beat", with no interest
for what good he might get out of that
lecture. It is a shame that such ingratitude
should have to .be tolerated. This is the
type of person that belongs in the fields.
He would probably have far greater success
picking cotton than he will have selling
bonds or keeping books.

Auburn has been, is, and always will be
the scene of wasted opportunity on the
part of a small minority. It is not hard to
pick out those students who constitute that
minority, It is made up of those who insist
on the perpetration of hazing, of those
who cut classes right and left, of those
who are most active in securing grades by
dishonest methods, of those who care so
little for Auburn's reputation throughout
the state, and lastly, of those who do not
care about anything under the sun but
their personal enjoyment, regardless of expense
or of other influential factors involved.

is not hard to fathom. I would not discourage
the revered seer to cease his expressions;
I hope he will continue to set

The Gazook
I'm the gazook who knows more about
football than any official that I have ever
seen.
When an official makes a decision, unless
I know why he made it, I yell out in my
"he man's" voice, "Rotten! Thow him out!"
But it only shows my ignorance about the
game.
If the college would let me officiate, I
would not charge anything for my services.
At any rate, I would not have to ruin my
voice making people notice me. I crave
popularity and, even though I have to make
an "ass" out of myself, I get it.
It seems so different in college; back at
home everyone laughed at my jokes, but
down here no one seems to catch the points.
I think everyone has found out that I'm
only a little "lap" puppy and my actions
are looked upon as though I were an idiot.
I am about to realize that college does not
make brains, but, instead, it trains them.
This fifth estate (the truly educated) is
composed of those having the simplicity to
wonder, the ability to question, the power
to generalize, the capacity to apply.—Poster

Prexy's Paragraphs
By Bradford Knapp
Saturday was a
great day. I feel under
deep obligation
to the Military Department
and to the
entire student body
for putting on a very
wonderful r e v i ew
and cooperating fully
in the morning exercises.
The R. O. T.
C. made a wonderful appearance and I
heard many very favorable comments.
The game in the afternoon was beautiful
in every way. Every man who went
in tried to do his best and I think every
old graduate who Was here went away full
of encouragement and with an inward
sense of satisfaction.

A fine spirit of honesty and honor actuated
one student who sent in a check covering
what he believed to be the fair value
of some pecans he had taken. There are
a lot of pecan trees on the campus and
elsewhere. Most of the older students understand
that the trees over on "Ag Hill"
are used in agricultural experimental work.
Their production needs to be known. They
are being studied with the purpose of helping
pecan growers in the State. There are
other trees near certain residences on
which, normally, the crop is harvested with
some care. I think there will be no difficulties
if students will be considerate,
particularly of the rights of the Experiment
Station and the Department of Horticulture.
Income from the lands and trees
and livestock of the institution helps to
bear the expenses of the institution. These
are an important part of the income of
the Experiment Station and the Agricultural
Division. Those in charge tell me
that it is exceedingly seldom that they
find anything to criticize in the conduct
of the student body. As a general rule
students are courteous and fine in their
attitude toward the work of the Experiment
Station. Occasionally newer students
or those not familiar may misunderstand.
I suggest that you get acquainted with
some new part of the institution every
week or so and find out what they are doing.
When you understand I am sure we
can all rely upon your cooperation.

One of the very delightful events of the
past week was the nationalizing of one of
the fraternities, and particularly delightful
was the fact that so many of the chapter
of that fraternity at the University
came down to participate in the installation
of the chapter. This cordial, fine spirit
of cooperation and neighborliness ought
to be fostered. I hope everyone who goes
from here over to Tuscaloosa on any occasion
will bear always the finest spirit of
friendly rivalry and yet friendly mutual
admiration.
* * *
Two other pieces of philosophy I found
the other day: One is, "The trouble with
the so-called self-made man is that he
knocked off work too soon." I think there
should have been another word inserted
in that statement. Some self-made men
have done a very complete job. Others
have quit work before the job was finished.
Possibly that ought to apply to a
man seeking an education. An education
never ceases. We go on through our lives
adding to our store of knowledge and to
our wisdom through experience. The
trouble with most men is that they quit the
task of self education too soon. The postgraduate
degrees will actually be earned
twenty, thirty, and forty years hence if
you are a real worker. The thing to do
now is to get ready for that kind of work.
* * *
How often we use words carelessly and
indifferently. I found this statement the
other day, Words should be tools with
which to build for happiness. Too often
they are used as weapons to wound and
destroy." The building process starts with
the plan, continues with the material, and
ultimately results in the finished structure.
The building of character and of happiness
in this world is very much the same
as the construction of a building. Will
we be builders of happiness or destroyers
of happiness? Look for the things that
are worth while in others and see how far
you may measure your own lives by the
good things and the great things you find
in those with whom you come in contact
whether that contact be one of personal
meeting, association through the written
word, or the masterpiece of an artist. The
man who is always hunting for the faults
in others is dealing in negatives, is looking
for the destructive factors in life
and never can be much of a builder.
Education, whether within or without the
home, must impart knowledge specifically
useful to the individual according to his
peculiar nature, if it is to accomplish results
ethically valuable.—Howard Madison

HERE'S TO YOU AUBURN!
Your return from the football wilderness
to the place in southern football which
your long but determined uphill climb
deserves, is now certain. You improve
with every game, and the south is for
you, Auburn.
Your claws, long dull, have been sharpened
by a new system, comprising a group
of coaches whose ability is unquestioned.
You have always had men and material,
Auburn, even in those long, lean years,
but the vital spark was somehow missing.
But you are headed in the right direction
now and it will be only a matter of time
until you will take your rightful place
in the southern football sun.
You gained a great moral victory
against University of Florida and a still
greater one Saturday against Tech. It
does not matter that you won or lost, but
how you played the game. You defeated
Tech in spirit; you outfought Tech all
through the game. Your spirit was a marvelous
thing to behold. And it must surely
give you compensation in the knowledge
that fully half of that vast throng were
pulling for you to win and the remainder,
while hoping for a Tech triumph, were
secretly cheering your marvelous showing.
You showed the stuff you are made of
by criss-crossing slam-bang over those
highly touted Tech tackles. And you can
feel certain that, while you were outweighed,
Tech has no better line or secondary
than you have. The Jackets had the edge
in reserve strength and possibly in experience;
that's all. And they were playing
on Grant Field.
Your showing was a sterling compliment
to your new coaches and Tech's last-half
drive was a tribute to an outstanding figure
in American football. You won the
first half; W. A. Alexander the final.
We're for you, Auburn! And may you,
in the years to come, attain the topmost
pinnacle of success not only in the football
world, but in all other endeavors as
well.

A NEW ALMA MATER
Students of New Mexico University
have decided that things are in order for
a new Alma Matei\ The old one is accused
of being dead, too long, a poor sentiment,
an all-round punk song, etc., ad
infinitum. The agitators claim that the
melody is used for the Alma Mater's of at
least five other colleges in the United
States and that, too, add disgrace to
shame, a girl's school—Randolph-Macon,
use the same melody and almost the same
words. St. Johns also feels the urge for
some new songs.
Maybe there isn't anything wrong with
Cumberland's Alma Mater, but it is origi-na
in neither sentiment, meody, nor words,
and some original person might add his
name to the long list of Cumberland's
Famous by composing a good old Alma
Mater that would really mean Cumberland
when you sang it.

NO POST-SEASON GAME
A proposed post-season football game
between Notre Dame and Northwestern
Universities, both of whom are expected

Conference officials refused to sanction it.
Mayor Frank Murphy, of Detroit, who
has been attempting to arrange a similar
game between the University of Michigan
and the University of Detroit for Thanksgiving
Day, for charity purposes, has given
up the idea since the ruling on the
Notre Dame-Northwestern game.
"These conference faculty members
take themselves too seriously," the Mayor
said. "When people are suffering it is
time to drop smugness."
Murphy is now trying to schedule a game
between Notre Dame and the University
of Detroit, or between the U. of D. and

Rhapsodical Revelations
By Alexandre Provost
EDITOR'S NOTE: The opinions expressed in
this column are not necessarily the editorial
opinions of this paper. It is a column of personal
comment, and is not to be read as an expression
of our editorial policy.
AUBURN is made the laughing stock
of the South because of its dance
regulations. Visitors in the village
ridicule our Puritanical customs. New
men on the faculty and new people in the
city are amazed at the restrictions placed
upon the students in relation to the social
side of college life. Men from other schools
marvel that we accept these mandatory
precepts. There are people who think that
we are ignorant of anything better. They
inquire if we know what is going on in the
world about us. To all of this the Auburn
man must shrug his shoulders and declare
his helplessness.
There is a rule in effect which states
that no young lady can attend an "A"
Club dance unless she can return home
immediately after the affair. An imported
girl is forbidden to spend the night inside
the city limits. The students are advised
not to import girls for these dances. We
are told who is welcome. Imported girls
are necessary for the success of a dance
in Auburn. Every effort is made by the
administration to suppress these dances.
We have been told that our girls are not
welcome here and have been advised to
keep them away. It is impossible to appreciate
this biased attitude.
Only last week one of our local fraternities
was installed as a chapter in a national
organization. In celebration of the
event the members of the fraternity had a
tea dance and banquet. They were instructed
to limit the attending girls to coeds
and denizens of Opelika. It was a
momentus occasion in the lives of these
men. It was a time when one_would very
probably want his girl present. Yet the
administration specifically forbade any
such occurrence. Try to appreciate that.
Last year we were granted a great concession
when it was decided to permit the
fraternities to have dances in the chapter
houses. There were no restrictions except
that the girls must be local and the affair
had to terminate at eleven-thirty. The
lexicon of the average college, man is inadequate
to express the sarcasm of this
aphorism. In many schools the fraternity
dances are the best dances held on the
campus. Compare our dances with those
of any other college. What event on our
social calendar will compare with the
Fancy Dress Ball at Washington and Lee?
Naturally there are those who contend
that the dances disturb the equilibrium of
the college work. It may as well be a
dance as a trip to Charlotte. When there
is no entertainment offered here the boys
depart for other fields. Look in the hotels
within a radius of three hundred miles and
note the number of Auburn men registered
there. During the football season there
is something to do; in the Spring there is
nothing to do but get lousy drunk.
It is time for a change. The old must
make room for the new. Pessimism has
no place on our campus. The younger
generation is pushing forward. We are
living in the present. The mind of the
young man and young woman of today is
broad. We believe in our competence.
This new generation is optomistic of the
future. Some of us have been off the farm
occasionally. We know a little of what
is going on elsewhere. There are no sound,
unbiased reasons for the suppression of
our social life. Any excuses that are offered
can be battered and smashed into
oblivion. We are not keeping pace as
we would like to. Our old-fashioned Puri-,
tanical customs are not in harmony with
our modern ideas. Youth must be served.

NEON OBSTRUCTION MARKER
WARNS LOW-EYING PLANES
A neon obstruction marker has
been mounted forty stories above the
street on top of the Cathedral of
Learning, new building of the University
of Pittsburgh at Pittsburgh,
Pennsylvania. This marker, designed
by R. E. Marbury of the Westing-house
Electric and Manufacturing
Company, resembles a spread umbrella
with six V-shaped neon tubes sloping
downward from the center.
The covering above the tubes consists
of a cone shaped hood to which
a wire screen is attached. This
screen protects the tubes from hail,
snow and other antics of the weather
which are apt to cause damage.
The U-tubes are connected in series.
If for any reason one should
burn out, an automatic cut out removes
it from the circuit. The marker
remains lighted as long as there

is one serviceable tube remaining.
The possibility of more than one tube
getting out of order at one time, how
ever, is far remote.
It has been placed atop the Cathedral
temporarily to demonstrate the
protection it affords tall unlighted
obstructions at night from low flying
airplanes. Its distinction ball of
red light, about three feet in diameter,
is visible for a distance of five
miles.
It is an effective and inexpensive
means of protecting tall chimneys,
monuments, broadcasting antennae,
transmission towers, and bridges—as
well as tall unlighted buildings—
from danger of collision at night by
low flying aircraft which do not know
that these obstructions exist or may
have become confused as to their location.
Two types have been designed—
one to operate from ordinary house
current; the other, directly from
high-voltages transmission lines. This
is the first practical obstruction marker
which can be lighted ricetly from
high-voltage lines. This is accomplished
by means of a recently developed
suspension type high-voltage capacitor.

Lady Peacack, a Rhode Island Red
hen, officially know as bird No. 67
in the sixth Alabama national egg-laying
contest, laid an egg here Fri
day which completes the record mak
ing her a champion egg layer of the
world. It was the 345th egg she has
laid in a 365-day period, and set her
four eggs ahead of the previous
world's record of 341 eggs for the
Rhode Island Red brede in a calendar
year.
Lady Peacock is an Alabama bird.
She was bred and is owned by Dr.
H. B. Peacock of Opelika. The new
champion is 19 months old and began
laying a few days before entering
the contest a year ago.
Her weight---at the close of the
year was 6.9 pounds, which is close
to standard weight for Rhode Island
Reds of her age. The 345 eggs
which she laid during the year weigh
more than six times her body weight.
During the 365 days she failed to
score only 20 days, which means that
she worked more than half of her
Sundays.
Lady Peacock comes of a family
of high producers of eggs. Her sire's
dam produced 296 eggs in a calendar
year at the Western Washington
egg-laying contest and her dam
produced 304 eggs in the Alabama
national egg-laying contest last year.
The 1,000 hens in the Auburn contest
were divided into pens of 10
birds, and in the pen with Lady Peacock
were three of her issters. One
of them laid 294 eggs and another
309 eggs in 365 days. The other
died July 19, but was going strong
at that time, having laid 218 eggs.
This pen won the contest award for
high pen of heavy breeds and was
the leading Rhode Island Red pen of
the 25 standard egg-laying contests
in the United States and Canada.
Molting and broodiness are two
things that reduce egg production,
according to poultry experts, and it
is significant that during her record
year Lady Peacock has neither molted
nor been broody.
At the close of the contest she is
still a beautiful bird, and looks none
the worse for wear, despite having
done a strenuous year's work. She
is described by Prof. G. A. Trollope,
supervisor of the contest, as being
of standard color and type for Rhode
Island Reds. She is deep red in color.
During the year she was fed a mixture
of scratch grain, mash, wet
mash, milk, oats, and oyster shell under
the supervision of C. T. Bailey,
mangaer of the contest, and a poultry
graduate of Auburn. Her ration
was the standard one recommended
by the poultry department of the Auburn
experiment station for laying
hens.
Before entering the contest she
ranged on an acre of Bermuda sod
and had access to grazing patches of
oats, rye and barley.
In announcing the new record
Prof. Trollope praised Dr. Peacock
highly as a breeder. "Dr. Peacock
has done what few breeders are able
to do," Prof. Trollope said. "He has
been very successful in breeding for
standard color and type as well as
for high egg production. In addition,
he has practically eliminated
broodiness from his strain of Rhode
Island Reds."
Dr. Peacock has been breeding
Rhode Island Reds for eight years.

these same educators would .try on

is as follows:

If Hoover's prosperity had not

now probably the smallest of any team

an injury occurs, a manager or coach
is called upon to step in and run signals
to complete three teams.
No major injuries were received
last week, so the Plainsmen will enter

facts regarding the enrollment. His
statement follows: "Auburn has now

The freshman class for the fall semester
is larger than the total freshman
enrollment for yast year, which included
new students entering the second
semester in January.
"The enrollment for both semesters

1,797. This year that figure will
reach or pass the 1,900 mark. There
are already 580 freshmen with those
who enter the second semester sMll

540 freshmen at this time and 573 at
the end of the year.
"The increases have been conspicuous
in agriculture, engineering,
chemistry, home economics, and veterinary
science. Auburn is proud of
her school of .engineering. Counting
chemical, textile, architectural, civil,
highway, electrical, mechanical and
aeronautical engineering, there are
now more than 800 students in Auburn
studying engineering subjects.
This makes it the largest engineering
school in Alabama by several hundred.
"Those, registered for regular
courses is chemistry and chemical engineering
total 147 for the fall semester.
This is a very healthy and fine
increase over last year, and makes
Auburn the largest school of chemistry
in Alabama if not in the South.
"Students of this institution come
largely from Alabama. The number
enrolled from Alabama last year was
90 per cent of the total student body.
This percentage is steadily maintained.
"Auburn's summer school the past
summer^ was the largest on record
with a net enrollment of 1,190, which
compares with 1,061 for the summer
of 1929. In May 147 4-H club girls
came to Auburn for a three-day short
course. In July and early August 818
farmers and farm women were in
Auburn for a week taking short

STATIONERY
The New Westinghouse Superheterodyne
SENSITIVE — SELECTIVE — FAITHFUL — BEAUTIFUL
The Distinctive Radio
Selectivity and Sensitivity go hand in hand and many receivers
which appear selective are merely insensitive, receiving only the
relatively powerful stations. Other receivers are sensitive and do
not have the requisite selectivity to receive one station and reject
the others.
If a receiver is sensitive enough to receive the following three
stations: WGN on 720 kc, WOR'on 710 kc, and WLW on 700 kc,
then a good test of selectivity is its ability to receive either one of
the three without appreciable background from the other two. The
ability of the New Westinghouse Superheterodyne to separate all
stations clearly and sharply is amazing. In the Distinctive Radio
you have selectivity never before approached in a manufactured
receiver.

Several new and interesting features
have been added to the regular
program this year. A regular midway
will be open to the public at 7
p.m. The midway is to consist of the
wheel of chance, knocking the milk
bottles over, and several other devices
that gained fame at the recent Ope-lika
Fair. There will be side shows
that will suit the fancy of everyone
present. For instance, there will be
the freak horse, that has his tail
where his head should be. Friday will
be the first time this freak has been
exhibited to the public. Sadie, the
Flat Lady, and the trained fleas will
also be on exhibition. As this is the
first time the midway has been an
important part of the Fair, arrangements
have been made to care for a
record crowd.
Exhibits in Comer Hall by the various
departments will be an important
part of this year's Fair.
The midway is to be open from
seven to eight o'clock and will consist
of booths of all kinds as well as many
other features. Kisses will be for
sale at all times by the Auburn Coeds.
The regular program will begin at
eight o'clock and will be composed of
the following features: music and
dancing by the Home Economics Club,
Faculty Stunt, Horse Doctor's Stunt,
the South's Leading Hypnoptic, pole
climbing, annual polo classic, negro
minstrel, and boxing.
The admission to the Fair will be
twenty-five cents.

course work. In addition, 1,200 club
members came to Auburn for short
course study. Besides this the Farm
Bureau meeting was held at Auburn
and was attended by approximately
1,200.
"In general extension teaching
work, similar to that of other institutions,
the enrollment at present is
915. Enrollments in this division are
being recorded daily and the figures
are conservative estimates.
"Extension work in agriculture and
home economics, which is a regular
and definite organization in Alabama
as in every other state of the Nation,
enrolls, and gives definite, practical
instruction on thousands of farms, in
homes, and with 4-H club boys and
girls.
"The enrollment is these enterprises
is difficult to ascertain because it is
constantly changing. If you take
every single demonstration carried on
on a farm we would have 135,022 farm
demonstrations in the past year. The
total number of farms reached by
regular instruction by county agents
is conservatively estimated to be close
to 30,000. Thirty-one thousand farms
participated in the demonstrations in
the cooperative shipping of poultry
and we therefore think the figure of
30,000 is conservative. The number
of farm women definitely enrolled and
receiving regular instruction from
county home demonstration agents is
9,535. There are 10,561 white girls
and 18,059 white boys enrolled in 4-H
club work conducted by Auburn.

Friend—Wise Counsellor."
John J. Wilmore, who has been connected
with Auburn for forty two
years and Dean of the School of Engineering
since 1907, thanked the faculty
and students for their kindness
