AUBURN LIONS ENDORSE
COUNTY HOSPITAL PLANS
Dr. John T. Oliver Presents
Tentative Plans For Hospit­al
Large Enough to Meet the
Needs of County
Endorsement of adequate hospital
facilities for Lee County was given
by the Auburn Lions Club at their
meeting Tuesday at noon in the
Thomas Hotel. Tentative plans for
a hospital large enough to meet the
needs and requirements of the coun­ty
were presented by Dr. John T.
Oliver, representing the Lee County
Doctors Association.
Dr.- Oliver explained that details
had not been worked out, but that
adequate hospital facilities should be
within reach of all the people at a
cost which they can afford to pay. He
submitted statistics showing the pres­ent
hospital facilities and pointed out
their inadequacy by comparisons
with those of nearby vicinities. Dr.
Oliver said that a definite location
for the hospital had not been plan­ned,
but that it would 'probably be
desirable to build it somewhere be­tween
Auburn and Opelika.
Dean C. F. Hare spoke to the club
about the duties of the State Chemist
and gave a brief history of the orig­in
and development of the service. ,

HONOR SYSTEM IS
DEBATE SUBJECT
Subject For Annual Debate Is
Selected By Forensic Frater­nity
"Resolved: That the Alabama Poly
technic Institute should readopt the
honor system" is the question that
has. been selected by Phi Delta Gam
ma, honorary forensic fraternity, for
the "annual intersociety debate which
is to be held April 28, 1931.
According to a statement made bj
the president of Phi Delta Gamma,
this question was selected because the
fraternity felt that it is of vital im­portance
at this time to every Au-burn
student. . Also the fraternity be-lives
that the best way to arrive at
a solution of Auburn's problem of
student honor is by group discussions,
and it is hoped that Phi Delta Gam­ma
can make some contribution to its
solution by an inter-society debate
on the subject. •
This inter-society debate is spon­sored
each year by Phi Delta Gamma,
and this year the winners of the de­bate
will be given an engraved cer­tificate.
-^
Phi Delta Gamma joins with the
Evans and Websterian Literary So­cieties
in extending an invitation to
all Auburn students, to attend the de­bate,
which will be held in room 301,
Samford Hall, April 28, 1931.
FINAL PLANS MADE
FOR ANNUAL GREEK
BALL ON APRIL 17
Invitations Are Extended To
Young Ladies Throughout
The South —
200 BIDS MAILED
Auburn Knights- Selected To
Furnish Music For Annual
Ball
With the mailing of approximately
two hundred bids, final preparations
for the second annual Inter-Frater­nity
Ball, to be held on April 17, are
rapidly being completed. Invitations
were extended to young ladies
throughout the South.
The Auburn Knights, popular cam­pus
music makers, have been engag­ed
to play for the dance. The in­creasing
popularity of these boys, in
campus social circles, insures good
music for this, qne^of the season's
most exclusive parties.
The Council has been forced to re­duce
the number of bids extended to
each fraternity in the organization to
eight. This restriction was made nec­essary
due to the limited floor space
in the gymnasium.
Women's Gov. Ass'n.

TWO HONORARY MEMBERS TAKEN
INTO THE BLOCK AND BRIDLE CLUB
Louie R. Brothers
Dies On April 3
Death Due To Acute Heart
Failure; Follows Attack Of
Pneumonia
Louie Raymond BrotheVs, student
in agricultural education, died at a
hospital in Opelika at 9:30 Friday
night, April 3. Death was due -to
acute heart failure following an at­tack
of pneumonia which followed in­fluenza,
as reported by Dr. B. F.
Thomas, college surgeon.
Ten days before his death Mr.
Brothers was carried to the hospital
ill of pneumonia. ..He had improved
and pneumonia had apparently dis­appeared.
For four or five days prior
to his death his condition was con­sidered
very favorable and it was
thought that he would be back in col­lege
at an early date. As late as
eight o'clock the night of his death
he appeared to be almost ready to
Jeave the hospital, but began com­plaining
of a pain in his chest. There
was a sudden change in his condition,
death coming shortly thereafter.
The funeral was held Sunday at
the home of his parents, Mr. and Mrs.
T. M. Brothers of Gallant in Eto­wah
County.
Brothers' was well known and pop­ular
as a student. He was a mem­ber
of the Alpha Gamma Rho frat­ernity
and was active in student af­fairs
and church. He was a junior
and was recently elected business
manager of the Alabama Farmer, a
student publication, for next year.
Other honors were coming to him it
was said. He was a member of the
Baptist Church. He is survived by
his father and mother, one sister, and
many other relatives as well as hun­dreds
of friends at Auburn and at
his home.

will be in Auburn April20-21 for the
annual inspection of the Auburn R.
O. T. C. Unit. Major Morrow is
instructor in Field Artillery in the
National Guard at New Orleans, and
Major Sharrere is District Engineer
at Montgomery. — ,."
The officers will inspect all classes
in both theoretical and practical work
on_Monday and Tuesday, April 20
and 21. In addition to the regular
periods, tfie college has allotted the
hour four to five on April 20 for a
close order drill of the Field Artillery
and Engineer Units. During the
Tuesday drill period there will be a
review for the inspectors followed by
a detailed inspection of each unit by
its inspecting officer.
Auburn has made the distinguish­ed
rating for colleges continuously
since 1920. In 1927 the system of
rating was slightly altered, and dis­tinguished
was changed to excellent.
Auburn continued to make the high­est-
rating, and it is hoped that the
R. O. T. C. Regiment will hold up the
previous record. All students are
urged to wear uniforms properly and
neatly during the time the inspectors
are here. In order that uniforms may
be in proper shape, no uniforms will
be required at any class or drill from
April 13-17. Uniforms must be worn
on Saturday 18, and on both Monday
and Tuesday following. The uniform
to be worn at inspection and review
will be announced later. •*
Harry Snow, manager of the Union
Stock Yards of Montgomery, was
made an honorary member of the
Block and Bridle Club, composed of
students and faculty in Animal Hus­bandry
here-Wednesday night. F.
W. Burns, extension livestock spe­cialist,
was made, an honorary mem­ber
at the same time.
Certificates were presented by C.
P. Granade, president of the club,
at a meeting of the Students Agri­cultural
Club. In presenting these
he said that Mr. Snow and Mr. Burns
were being made honorary members
because of the distinguished service
they have rendered in the livestock
division of Alabama agriculture.
Mr. Snow is the first man living
away from -Auburn to become an
honorary' member of the local club.
Following the presentation of certi­ficates,
he spoke to the club on live­stock
and other agricultural develop­ments
in Alabama. He said that for
the first time farmers are buying
breeding stock when prices are low.
"In the past/' he added, "the prac­tice
has been to buy when prices
•were high and sell when they were
low, but the reverse is now teue. It
is a very wholesome development for
livestock."
The speaker'said that natural con­ditions
in the Black Belt of Alabama
are especially favorable to livestock
production, and that Black Belt pas­tures
will carry as many,. or more,
cattle per acre as Texas pastures
will carry.
Mr. Snow told the club that his
confidence in the future of livestock
in Alabama caused him to move from

KIWANIS CLUB TO HELP

MANY FRESHMEN PARTICIPATE
IN ANNUAL EASTER EGG HUNT
Man's aversion for physical labor
is largely responsible for the develop­ment
of our "Machine Age," said
Professor M. Thomas Fullan in speak­ing
before the Rotary club here Thurs*
day. Inherent human love of ease
has resulted in ingenious inventions
which have removed the major neces^
sity of Man's living by the "sweat
•
of his brow". Our forefathers had
to do much more\physical labor than
we do, he said.
Continuing he briefly sketched the
evolution of some of our common ma­chines
and showed how all are mere-
(Continued on page 4)
The Easter Egg hunt, sponsored
by the Interfraternity Council, was
quite a success last Sunday, when a
large number of freshmen participat­ed
in the annual affair, according to
the committee in charge. Tom Nash,
Pi Kappa Alpha, was awarded a mag­azine
rack for the'best costume; How­ard
Randolph, Delta Sigma Phi, won
a bridge table for the greatest num­ber
of eggs, having fifty-one of them;
and G\ E. Hendrix, Sigma Phi Ep-silon,
secured the football after a hard
struggle.
Freshmen from all the fraternities
assembled at the A. T. O. house at
two o'clock, and marched in single
file to Ag Hollow, where the fun
commenced. Boys were dressed as in­fants,
hula-hula girls, a Roman glad­iator,
and various comical characters.
When the costumes had been judged,
the freshmen were lined up back of
ropes. At a signal they all broke
loose to hunt eggs. At another sig­nal
they reassembled and eggs were
counted. Suddenly eggs began to fly
through the air and landed on any­one
who happened to be in the way.
This fight lasted for several minutes.
Th.e rats were then formed in a big
circle with a. football at its center.
When a whistle blew they all scramb­led
for the ball. Another whistle
blew for them to get up, but as they
continued to struggle it was necassary
for some of the spectators to help
untangle them.
The Council expressed its appre­ciation
to all the fraternities for co­operating
with it to help make this
event a successful one by giving the
eggs and sending freshmen to par­ticipate
in it.
Definite plans are being made for
establishing a modern, and up-to-date
hospital in Lee County, according to
a statement made by Dr. B. F. Thom­as,
college physician, at the regular
meeting of the Kiwanis Club, Mon­day.
The details of the project have
not as yet been worked out, but the
general idea is to build a county own­ed
hospital on some site' about half
way between Auburri and Opelika.
The movement in favor of such a
hospital was started by the doctors of
Lee County who, according to Dr.
Thomas's report, realized that Lee
County is in very great need of such
an institution. The hospital in Ope­lika
will cooperate to the fullest ex­tent,
and if the project is completed,
will discontinue its operation in favor
of the better equipped institution.
ft is the purpose of those sponsor­ing
the movement to get a committee,
representing the entire county, to go
before the County Commission with
the project, and to get them to float
a bond issue to cover the cost of
erecting the building. The Kiwanis
club went on record as being in favor
of the project, and it is believed that
all the civic clubs in the county will
do the same.
One of.the main reasons why the
County should establish a hospital,
according to Dr. Thomas, is to have
some means of caring for its charity
patients. If the present plans are
carried out Lee County will have one
of the most modern and well equipped
hospitals in the state.
Eta Kappa Nu Elects

MAJOR KENNEDY
When Major John T. Kennedy "pulls
up stakes" and leaves in July to take an­other
post of duty for Uncle Sam, there'll
be more to it than the mere transfer of
just another army officer from Auburn to
Washington. With him will go the re­spect
and admiration of every cadet who
has had the privilege of-coming within
the influence of his acquaintance.^
Moreover, he has earned the genuine
esteem of his co-workers on the faculty.
His relation with them has been an ideal
one. He understands how to cooperate
with his associates. They like him.
The town of Auburn will suffer" a vital
loss in Major's going. During his five
years here he has taken a vigorous inter­est
in every undertaking advanced for the
good of Auburn.
That he earned the Congressional Medal
of Honor early in his career while serving
as a young lieutenant in the Phillipines
is proof enough of his manhood. While
pursuing Jikiri's band of outlaw Moros
on Patian Island, he lead the attack into
a cave where some of the band had taEen
refuge. In the skirmish that followed he
received a severe neck wound from a ba-rong
(large knife) swung by one of the
outlaws.
In 1914 he Was with General Funston at
Vera Cruz. The following year found
him a member of Pershing's expedition in­to
northern Mexico, and he went to France
in 1917 with the American Expeditionary
Forces. In all these assignments he served
with distinction.
More than an excellent army officer,
Major Kennedy is a real man. A man who
understands and enjoys association with
college students. He inspires their confi­dence.
To put it simply, Major will be missed,
and his tracks will remain visible at Au­burn
so long as those who know him live.
GRADES
Is high-scholarship worth the struggle?
Opinions differ on this subject; but sta­tistics
do not. Almost invariably promise
becomes performance. A hundred scientific
studies prove it. This is notably true, as
we have already shown, of doctors, lawyers,
and ministers.
But is it true of business men? It cer­tainly
is true of the men employed by the
American Telephone and Telegraph Com­pany.
President Gifford has shown that
men who graduate in the- first tenth of their
class have four times as many chances of
getting into the highest salaried group, as
those who graduate in the lowest third of
their class.
About half the men who ranked in the
highest third in scholarship are in the
highest salaried group. On the other hand,
this group includes only a quarter "of those
who were in the lowest -third of their class
in scholarship.
The Telephone Company does not hand
out large salaries fo*r sentimental reasons.
It demands and gets performance. It did
not even know, until recently, that it was
pa'ying to other men.''
. Another study shows that the graduates
of Bowdoin who receive the highest marks
in College .receive, as a rule, the highest
incomes after graduation.
Dean Potter, of Purdue University, has
shown that superior scholarship among en­gineering
students leads, as a rule to suc­cess
in engineering ,as indicated by salaries.
Similar results appear in a study of the
graduates of the Yale School of Forestry,
and of West Point.
Some of our most successful corporations
evidently have these facts in mind. .They
havg made standing offers to Various col­leges
to give positions to the highest schol­ars
in every class. Similar standing offers
have been made to the Harvard Business
School.—Ex.
THE EDUCATED MAN
Somewhere in our reading w/e came
across the following:
"A man may be an expert man in a
certain field of-knowledge but he is not
an educated man unless he has learned
to live so that life has significance beyond
the immediate and the material; unless
he has aroused within him the curious,
loving interest in his world wliich will keep
him seeking always a life of largeK..and
finer contacts, and the chance to contri­bute
of his "own growing personality to
the greater happiness of his fellows.
Recently we talked to a -father, who
was worried over the fact that his son was
making poor grades. We do not believe
that a boy's future depends on his grades.
A boy should learn at college more than
mere facts from books. From the boys
he will learn the value of good sportsman­ship;
he will learn how to take the meas­ure
of a man; how to estimate character;
and he will learn how to evaluate life^
Education to mean anything must teach
one how to adjust to all circumstances;
it must teach one to understand, yet to
love human nature; it must give him
enough wisdom to have inner resources,
so that he will not depend on outside
amusements for all his diversion. It must
teach him how to meet the strain and
stress of life and to keep his mental and
emotional balance. It should teach him
to appreciate the treasures of art and lit­erature;
to find beauty in everyday life
and joy in simple things."

Solitary Speculations
By Haakon 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.
Someone has said that the more a col-.
umnist is "cussed and discussed", the
greater his success will be. During the
seven months that I have written this-column
I have tried to enliven this editori­al
page by the instigation of controversies,
controversies which, by some few, may
have been taken a bit too seriously. But
we all cannot have senses of humor, and,
as H. L. Mencken has said, "To have a
good show, you must have a good fight,
and to have a good fight there must be
lots of blood." The blood has flowed
freely, but I trust no mortal wounds have
been inflicted.
As I look back upon my experience with
this column, I am Inclined to think that it
all has not been in vain. There is a cer­tain
satisfaction in letting off several
years' concentrated steam. And perhaps
Haakon, the last of the Provosts, will not
go down unremembered in the history of
The Plainsman. No doubt many will sigh
with relief as they witness the fall of the
dynasty of Provosts; they have, through
a period of four years, been known as
the most iconoclastically unprincipled ^ell-raisers
that ever wrote a line for this»
paper.
It is with mixed feelings that I write
this, my last column. There are no apolo^
gies to be made, nor will the writer essay
to unravel any misunderstandings and mis­interpretations
of his writings.
This, then, is the end of Haakon. He
has a worthy successor in Chariot, a writer
of some ability and an unusually wide ho­rizon;
I commend him Fo you. Some day
it may fall your lot to read the efforts of
another Provost; if so, do not judge him
by his, anarchistic predecessors. The last
knell.has sounded, and I must bid you a
fond auf wiedersehen.

Prexy's Paragraphs
By Bradford Knapp
The m i d -1 e r m
grades have been re­corded
and notices
sent out. I d e a l ly
they are supposed to
be a measure of what
the students have ac­complished.
As a mat­ter
of actual fact
they may be very far
removed from that ideal, first, because of­ten
the student and teacher do not under­stand
each other, second, because some­times
the teacher Ipcks the necessary judg­ment
and experience to estimate carefully
what the student has done or what there
is really in the student; third, because the
student has not always put his best side
forward. Often he would be entitled to
a better grade if a better effort had been
shown. And lastly, we have, the imper­fection
of human nature which involves
the personal equation on both sides of
this interesting two-sided relation of stu­dent
and teacher and very often it is not
all- on one side either. I wish I could get
two things done: First, get the faculty
universally to be fair .and-'square to stu­dents
in the way in which the larger part
of the real teachers on the faculty are;
to get teachers to pass by the non-essent-ial.
things and look mainly, if not entirely,
to the essential things such as whether the
student has acquired usable knowledge of
the subject. On the' other hand I wish I
could ge^ every student to make an hon­est,
sincere, straightforward, effort of the
kind that the vast majority of students at
this institution do make. If these two
things could be done we would have a

In the Montgomery Advertiser the other
day Stephenson made a pretty good sug­gestion.
I sincerely wish that ultimately
there might be keen and friendly rivalry
but, at the same time, high class relation­ship,
in athletics between the University
of Alabama and this institution. I am
frank to say I do not see why such a re­lationship
could not exist. I would want
such relationship to be on the "square"
with the highest class, squarest, fairest
official that c-ould be found anywhere and
then a training on the part of the student
body here and the student body at the
University in true sportsmanship, in the
art of being a generous winner and a good
loser. If such relationship could be es­tablished
it would have a lot of influence
in the State, educational influence and
physchological influence, upon the people
far beyond* the mere gain. I conscientious­ly
believe it would be worth the effort. Of
recent years the University' has had a
brilliant athletic record. «Many years ago
Auburn had such a brilliant record, I can
conceive of their both having an excellent
record at the same time and their still
being big enough to let ,the best team win.
I hope our student body, and alumni will
be thinking in. this direction. Let us be
generous and open-minded toward these
suggestions made by such men as Stephen­son.
I for one want to register my will­ingness
to accept such a proposal and to
do my fair share of the work and take
my share of the responsibility for work­ing
it out on the right basis.

On Wednesday, April J.5, from 11:00 to
12:0tf| there will be a special convocation
of faculty and student body in honor of
the anniversary of the birth of Thomas
Jefferson who was, without doubt, one of
the greatest men this--country or the world
has ever seen. It is an occasion in which
all of us will honor ourselves by attend­ing.
There is little that we have today in
America in which the author of the Dec­laration
of Independence and the third
President of the United States has not had
an important part. For this occasion in­stead
of sending out for a "speaker we
have chosen one who has made a more
carefuLstudy of the life of Thomas Jeff­erson
than any man for whom we might
send. Our own Dr. George Petrie, head
of the department of history and Dean of
the Graduate School, will be the principal
speaker. Closely associated personally,
and through his distinguished father who
passed away so recently, with Charlottes­ville,
Virginia, the University of Virginia,
and the wonderful.history which surrqunds
that place which Jefferson called home,
Dr. Petrie is eminently qualified to sjpeak
on this impbrtant occasion. I am urging
that all students ana members of the fac­ulty
attend these exercises.

there is only a cold stare. That may be
his conception of the best way to create
an interest in neatness in the students,
but is rather flimsy in our estimation. We
are not in a city like Atlanta, and it_is
considered very much the student's own

'. - v STUDENT RIOTING
With unemployment and the economic
depression as a world-wide source of rev­olution
and instability, the reports of the
part taken by students in various countries
in stimulating and leading the spirit of
unrest by rioting and protest have re­ceived
wide discussion in the college press.
Below appear a few of. the riots by stu­dents:
Within -the last few days, Egyptian stu­dents
set fire to one of the Caifo school
buildings and later a large number of stu­dent
strikers attacked those who refused
to join them, with the result that several
were injured when the nolice joined the
fray. Agitation against the existing gov­ernment,
the new Constitution and elec­toral
laws were blamed for the Jrouble.
Student rioting has continued in Spain
for some time. Law students in Barcelona
showed an anti-monarChistic spirit and
those in Seville combined rebellion against
the government with discontent against
the university administration.
A third example is found in South
America where Peruvian students over­threw
Leguia and the Argentinians aided
in the displacement of Irigoyen.
Foreign countries are not alone in hav­ing
their students riot. See: The recent
riot at Princeton resulting in destruction
of private property, rocking of interstate
buses and the suspension of 42 men. Along
the same lines is the traditional Yale fresh­men
riot, the Gowns against Towns. Yes
these American youths do things too.
* * • * * *'
HOW'S THIS
Only recently 412 male students at
Washington and Jefferson walked out on
a speech by President Baker, in protest of
his alleged non-support to athletics. Their
president also requests that they do not
appear on the campus in corduroy trous­ers.
Surely ^they wear ties and coats.
After all it's the feathers that make the
bird—look at the jail bird, or even-the
co-eds. On the other hand, you can't
place a derby on a jackass and make him
look like "Little Joe College", can you?
Meaning of course the long-eared, hairy
breed. Take off a man's pants and what
do you have? Five empty pockets. (Ap­plause
and tears.)

N KNOWLEDGE OF BEANS, BROOMS
AND BABIES NOT'SUFFICIENT
The latest questionnaire that has bobbed
up appeared at Texas A. & M. and has
some of the more unusual characteristics
of the students when their "ideal" is con­cerned.
Here are a few of the replies to
the questionnaire:
When asked if their ideal girl must have
one desire and that to be jflSt a house­wife,
the answer was "Yes 57; No 382."
Girl who smokes, "Yes 96; No 1,019." Is
a widow objectionable? "Yes 676; No
4"64." A divorcee? "Yes 806; No 384".

So far as we are concerned, everyone
is entitled to his or her particular hobby.
Albert Payson Terhune may have his dogs,
Wilbur Daniel Steele may play around
with human emotions, and Bruce Barton
may' try to popularize religion in their
leisure time, and we'll not be surprised.
But when we hear of-a person who treats
a cat as an emotional animal, piff! goes
our composure. Gamaliel Bradford, the
author, allows his cat many privileges, not
the least of which is letting the cat eat
at the dinner table with the family.. In
order that the cat may have every possible
convenience, a special high chair has been
constructed for it. According to "Wings",
a-Literary Guild publication, " . . . . Brad­ford
has found out that cats have notably
good manners, and when not hurried or
worried, can be even more polite than
an old-fashioned product of a feminine
seminary." All the same, if you don't
mind, we wonder just how much of the
said cat's politeness remains when the
Bradford table is graced with "fish"?
A person offensive to us is the overbear­ing,
bull-dozing sophomore, who is' for­ever
finding an excuse to" paddle poor, in­offensive
freshmen. Not content with
waiting for regular inspection dates, he
"makes" opportunities for punishing
"rats". A favorite trick is to start singing
in an off-key falsetto or -deep bass voice.
If the freshman registers disgust, as any
self-respecting freshman would, out comes
the offended, nasal, "Ra-a-at!" with an
addendum of "Come back to my room,"
or "Get me a board!" There is no regard
for what the freshman may have been do­ing.
As a usual thing, this high-handed-"
ness masks an overdeveloped inferiority
complex. The soph must impress on the
"rats" the fact that he is a man, a real
man, an utterly fearless and to-be-feared
man. He has read somewhere that the
other fellow respects the one who lords
it over him, and he cannot possibly be­lieve
that the opposite could be the case.
We do not know whether or not this pest
is common, but we certainly hope not.

GUARANTEED METHOD OF PASSING
EXAMS r_
1. Inform the professor beforehand how
easy you think his exam will be.
2. Cut the last class befoue exam.
3. Don't memorize any formulas; it is
much more interesting to develop them if
necessary.
Besides there is always the chance that
you will stumble on one "bran" 'new one
which will cause the instructor to regard
you in a different light.
4. Do not do any last night studying as it
will clog up your brain. Go to a show the
night before; it helps lift the load of care
off your mind.
5. Try to schedule three exams in one
day so as to get through.
6. When you turn your paper in say,
"Huh! That was a cinch." The professor
will then realize How well you know the
subject and will be tempted to overlook
small mistakes.—Exchange.

SATURDAY, APRIL 11, 1931 THE PLAINSMAN- PAGE THREE
LIBERAL ARTS COLLEGE SHOULD
. FOSTER UNDERSTANDING MINDS
v Hanover, N. H.—(IP)—The func
tion of a liberal arts college is not
only to give knowledge, as many be­lieve,
but to inculcate an inquiring
and understanding habit of mind,
according to Dr. Ernest M. Hopkins,
president of Dartmouth College. •
"Nothing is more useless than a
fact by itself," he said recently. He
admitted many sincere persons still
over-emphasize pure knowledge in
university training and cited as an
example Thomas A. Edison, who in
an examination for a scientific as­sistant,
asked applicants to najne the
city with the greatest production of
washing machines.
"The object of a liberal ai-ts col
lege is to teach the students to be
something; that ' of the technical
school is to teach them to do some­thing,"
Dr. Hopkins continued. 'The
ojhly thing the liberal arts college
can do is offer the atmosphere and
environment in which education can
be got.
"We ask our freshmen: 'Why are
you a Republican or a Democrat;
why are ypu a Presbyterian or -a
Methodist?' Although some parents
object to this disturbance of precon
cieved ideas, we insist that our stu­dents
have some understanding of
where their beliefs come from."
In response to the argument that
the responsibility of the college is
to the individual welfare of its stu­dents,
Dr. Hopkins answered that its
responsibility was rather to "the life
of the time in which our undergrad­uates
will live."
At the same time he declared that
Dartmouth students are more religi­ous
today than he had ever known
them to be.
Among Dartmouth's advances in
education, Dr. Hopkins mentioned
the senior fellowship plan, which al­lows
outstanding seniors complete
freedom in academic activities dur­ing
their last year; honors courses
in which upper class students have
informal conferences with instruc-

OPELIKA AUBURN
Member of
Mortgage Association of America
Dr. P. W. Terry, eminent psychol­ogist,
in a recent lecture said that
since it is the nature of man to fight,
the abolition of war is impossible.
"M,en have been taught to hate
each other," Dr. Terry said, "but
there is not natural antagonism be­tween
men." "They can be taught to
live together in peace."
In drawing upon recent psycholog­ical
experiments as proof, he spoke
of raising together of animals
thought to be naturally antagonistic
toward one another. In these ex­periments,
he showed that it was
proven that dogs and cats could live
together without strife. He pointed
out that the same was true of man.
He spoke of different species of ants
that were naturally at war with each
otherv Pu.pae of the ants were hatch­ed
together and the result was a
perfect coordination in the living to­gether
of the two different species.
"The psychologist -concludes," Dr.
Terry said, "that there is no native
antagonism between nations. "All
these attitudes are brought about in
the raising of our children." •-'
Another supposition in . line with
the discussion was ..the idea that we
cannot be rid of war because men
are greedy. "Can man never learn
not to be unjust to his fellow and
get along?" Dr. Terry asked. His
reply came with the question.
"We Rave already taught whole
nations to live together in peace. In
the-United States we have the white
and black race living side by side
in peace. We also have the capital­istic
class and the laboring group
existing side by side. Of course, he
said, there are some disputes, but
they do not assume serious propor-tions^
"We canvteach different peo­ple
of different races and different
economic interests to live together in
peace." -
In citing the reasons for recent
wars, Dr. Terry said, "We did not
have enough trained generosity and
generous sympathy to prevent them.
"In the next years," he said, "we
can choose between adopting the
gblden rule of doing to others as
we want done to us, or look to an­other
repetition of slaughter to our
youth."
Dr. Terry has encouraged partici­pation
of students in the "War Psy­chology"
qujestion and plans to con­tinue
them in future group meet­ings.—

from Mr. F. B. Kemp, superin­tendent
of The Pullman Company,
and when the same has Served your
purpose, I will appreciate its return.
"Of course I would appreciate it if
it will be possible to-"secure the-ar-ticles
removed from the drawing
room so that they can be returned
to The Pullman Company.
"Any assistance you can give me
in this matter will be deeply ap­preciated."
Mr. Kemp's letter is in. part as
follows:
y "My conductor arriving in Atlanta
last night, train 36, reports that he
sold the drawing room in the New
Orleans-New York car to six boys
who travelled from Montgomery to
Auburn. They left the room on ar­rival
at Auburn and went through to
the coach .where they got off. When
the drawingroom was inspected after
they left, six towels were found to
be missing, as well as one headrest
cover which had been removed fj-om
the headrest in the section in the
drawingroom.
"Would appreciate your having
your local representative at Auburn
notify the President of A. P. I., and
tell him that we would appreciate
the recovery of these pieces of linen,
also call his attention to" a number
of losses that we have sustained in
the past on account of boys, evident­ly
students of that Institution, re­moving
equipment from our cars."
President Knapp's comment was
that six towels do.not amount to a
great deal and he would be glad to
pay for the six towels out of his own
pocket if he could only wipe the blot
of shame off of Auburn by so. doing.
He does no>t know whether these
were Auburn students or not. He
certainly wishes he did know. Presi­dent
Knapp said he would feel a
personal and institutional, responsi­bility
had these young men been au­thorized
to take a trip on behalf of
the institution. In other words when
the football, baseball, basketball
teams, inspection groups, etc., make
trips there is a responsibility resting
upon the institution as well as upon
the student body who compose these
groups.
Drv Knapp stated further, "How
any persons can justify themselves in
the possession of property which be­longs
to another is impossible to un­derstand.
May not the right-think­ing,
earnest, fine, young men~"and
women who constitute 99 per cent
of the student body of this institu­tion
make it unpopular for students
to besmirch the name of Auburn by
such petty little things as the taking
of a few tow«ls. I wish there were
some way to restore this property in"
person. Is there any way the student

WILL DURANT SAYS THE REIGN
OF YOUTH IN AMERICA IS OVER
Agricultural Enterprise
Pays Students Expenses
College Station, Texas —(IP) —
R. P. Marshall, sophomore at Texas
A. & M. College has paid all ex­penses
during two years at college
with profits from supervised prac­tice,
work while a vocational agricul­tural
student in Academy Consoli­dated
School, Bell County. /
Marshall began his project work
in 1926 and deposited profits of $951
in a special college fund during his
three years in vocational agriculture
at Academy. The first year he clear­ed
$124, the second $301 and the
last year $526. These profits re­sulted
from a well rounded program
with hogs as the major enterprise,
but including both cash and feed
crops.
Cleveland, 0.—(IP)— The reign
of youth in the world today is about
due to end in a puritanical revo­lution,
Dr. Will Durant, author of
books on philosophy and kindred
subjects and former professor of
philosophy at Columbia University,
said recently in an interview here.
"The predominance of youth in
modern affairs," he said, "is due
partly to the large unsettled popu­lation
caused by late marriages and
partly to the fact that most of the
newspaper writers and reviewers are
young people."
"Youth has been holding an epi­curean
riot in our big cities; but
like all things, they run themselves
out in time. The new clothes may
be an indication of the trend. Per­haps
long skirts will bring long mar­riages."
Durant, who is 46 years old, made
Q tour of India recently which he
said has cured him of any inclination
he might ever have had to "pan" his
native country. He is "sick and
tired" of people who run America
down and believes that most Ameri-cans
suffer from a national inferi­ority
complex.
"New York is, I believe, the most
beautiful and interesting city in the
world today," he said.
"America excells in modern archi­tecture.
Indeed, Europe is sending
architects by the boatload to study
our skyscrapers. And we undoubted­ly
lead the world in generosity.
"People talk about Americans
chasing the almighty dollar. Why,
most Europeans are - far greedier
than we are. They criticize us be­cause
they want what we've got.
And China—why, there a man will
let you kill him if you pay him
enough money."
Students Penalized for
Drinking at Minnesota
St. Paul —(IP)— University of
Minnesota farm school officials have
settled the recent liquor drinking in­cident
on the campus by ruling -that
additional school work will be re­quired
of thirteen suspended students
before they are graduated, while
two must return to school for an­other
term. The expulsion of two
others for bootlegging will stand.

the Watchword of an industry
The Bell System—whose plant cost more than
$4,000,000,000 and is still growing—offers
wide opportunity to the man "of engineering
bent. Here he has ample^ scope for testing new
ideas, not only in telephone apparatus devel­opment
but also in manuf acture,construction,
installation, maintenance and operation.
No matter what his particular branch of
engineering—electrical, mechanical, civil, in­dustrial,
chemical—his training stands him
in good stead. For "telephone engineering"
calls for the broad engineering point of view
as well as specialization.
Basic technical knowledge, an appreciation
of economic factors and the ability to cooper­ate
are some of things that count in Belr
System engineering. For men of this stamp,
the opportunity is there!

INVESTIGATIONS
OF VOCATIONAL
New York — ( I P )— Results of an
investigation of the vocational activ­i
t i e s of 891 college women from 255
colleges and universities throughout
the country, carried on by Dr. Roy
N.. Anderson, of Teachers College,
Columbus University, which were re­cently
made public Indicated a lack of
vocational discrimination.
The bureaus studied were located
in New York, Denver, Chicago, Los
Angeles, Minneapolis, Pittsburgh and
Boston. Only positions were record­ed
which had been held three months
or more, and which were -filled be­tween
August, f929 and March, 1930.
The average age was found to be 24,
ranging from 18 to 53. Eighty-five
per cent of the women were single,
10 per cent were married, and 4 per
cent were widows, divorced, or sep­arated.
More than 500 of the group
had completed four years of college,
and 41 had had a year of graduate
study.
Of the occupations listed in the
clerical group there were 193 steno­graphers,
145 secretaries, 114 typists,
29 bookkeepers, and one telephone
operator. There were no more than
fifty each of tea room managers, die-titions
matrons, companions and
nurses. There were 73 social work­ers,
41 in the educational division
and 153 classed as miscellaneous.
"It is evident from these figures,"
Dr. Anderson said, "that the range
of occupations upon which these col­lege
women have entered is very re­stricted.
Fifty-six per cent have fol­lowed
the beaten path and alligned
themselves with clerical occupations."
The average earnings for the col­lege
group were shown to be higher
for ages under 35, those from 20 to
24 years of age making $145 more
annually. The highest salaries re­corded
in- the investigation were for
teachers, social workers and secre­taries
in that order, with sales­women's
pay being the lowest. Sten­ographers
averaged $1,314 annually,
and statisticians $1,225.
The study also showed that it pay­ed
women college graduates financi­ally
to take business college courses
after receiving their academic de­grees.

that time Alabama marketed very
few cattle except canners, but the
quality began improving and many
cattle of the better grades are now
being produced. Consequently pack­ers
came south to handle the business
and have contributed much to the
livestock developments, he said.''
Students were advised by Mr.
Snow not to "jump into" livestock
business but to build slowly along
practical lines, including good man­agement,
good feed, good pastures,
and good quality livestock. He de­clared
that farmers, should have
enough livestock to balance their
farming operations and to provide
for efficient use of labor throughout

PROFESSOR FULLAN
SPEAKS TO ROTARY
CLUB ON THURSDAY

ly the various combinations of what
he termed the "elements of invention,"
such as levers, -cams, gears, and so
on. The automobile, employing the
internal combustion engine, would
have-been impossible without its fore­runner,
the bicycle. Just recently its
coaster brake principle is being ap­plied
to automobiles as a "free wheel­ing"
device.
The principle of the automat, where
food is secured by inserting coins in
a slot, is not new. Long before the
"time of Julius Caesar, there was an
automatic vendor of wine invented
and installed by Hero of Alexandria,
Egypt. His machine gave forth a
horn of wine after a coin had been
inserted. The penny arcade was re­ferred
to as the predecessor of our
modern moving and talking pictures.
A recentjnvention by Miller Reese
Hutchinson, Auburn alumnus, to pre­vent
the vitiation of air by carbon
monoxide gas from automobile ex­hausts
was pointed to by Professor
Fullan as typical of many amazing
developments in this age.
The Alabama Chapter of " the
American Institute "of Architects at
its last July meeting decided to offer
a medal for distinguished architect­ural
service, to outstanding leathers
of industries whose work shall have
advanced the cause of Good Archi­tecture
in the State. .
Instead of following the usual
custom of going outside of the State
for the design of this medal, the
Alabama Chapter asked the School
of Architecture and Allied Arts to
make it the subject of a problem in
design for the fourth and fifth year
students. A prize of $10 was offered
for the best design for the medal.
At a l a t e r meeting of the Alabama
Chapter last October the students'
designs for this medal were submit­ted
to the judgment vi the members,
and the prize for''the best design
was awarded to Chas. F. Davis, Jr.,
a member of this year's graduating
class.
At the same October meeting, the
Alabama Chapter instituted another
competition among Auburn students
to secure a plaster model for the
making of the medal, and again of­fered
a prize of $10 for the best
result. This problem was turned
over to the class in Clay Modeling,
and each of this class given a photo­static
copy of. Mr. Davis' design.
From this each student made a clay
model, and from the clay model a
plaster mold. Using this plaster mold
the final plaster cast was prepared.
At the recent meeting of the. Ala­bama
Chapter in Birmingham on
Tuesday, April 7th, the model pre­pared
by Mr. Virgil O. Callahan, Jr.,
was selected as the best, and the
prize of $10 awarded to him. How­ever
the members of the Chapter
were so impressed by the skill and
ability shown in a model carved di­rect
from a plaster slab by Miss
Lucille Gibson, a special student in
the course in Commercial and Graph­ic
Arts, that although she was not
in the~clSy modeling competion a
prize of $5 was awarded to her as
an expression of the chapter's ap­preciation
of her work.
