Features of Auburn's 1931 "A"
Day, which will be held here on Mon­day,
March 30, will be a baseball
game between Coach McAllister's
Tigers and Burt Shotton's Philadel­phia
Phillies and a dance that night
in the Alumni Gymnasium. Tentative
plans are being prepared by members
of the "A" Club for one of this
year's most popular outings.
The idea that will be carried out
in the morning program will be mass
athletics for all who attend with in­termingled
prizes to increase the
competition. Everyone, is eligible to
enter both the greasy pig contest, to
the winner of which will go $2.50,
and the greasy pole contest. In the
latter event, a five dollar bill will
be fastened on top of the greased
pole. Another feature of the morn­ing
will be a tug-o-war between Ag
students and students in Engineering.
Several boxing matches are being
planned which will feature "Gump"
Arial, Marion Talley, "Babe" Taylor,
and John Wilson. Several wrestling
matches are pending in which Tom
Brown and Ballard will take part.
Both of these boys have been to the
finals in state competion.
Sam Robinson, chairman of the
"A" Day committee, has announced
that unless one thousand student
tickets are sold by Saturday, March
28, school will not be dismissed until
twelve o'clock on the following Mon­day.
In that case a large part of
the program would have to be drop
ped.
At 2:30 p. m. Auburn will play
the Philadelphia Nationals on the lo­cal
diamond. This.will be the first
time that any big league team has
been brought to Auburn in several
years, and a considerable amount'of
interest is being stirred up by it.
Under the terms of the contract,
Manager Shotton will use his regu­lars
against the local nine.
Last year the Phillies led all Na­tional
Leagues in batting and with
the able support of Chuck Klein, are
expected to give the Tiger outfielders
plenty of action. Hall Lee, who was
assistant coach at Auburn last year,
is one of the outstanding candidates
for an .outfield berth, and will prob­ably
be seen in action here. The
"A" club is going to a great expense
to get the Phillies here and unless

addressed students in electrical en­gineering
at Auburn on Thursday.
Two lectures were delivered by him.
The first was on the work of the
American Institute of Electrical En­gineers,
of which he is vice-president,
and the other was on Thomas Jeffer­son.
In addition to the many other
achievements Professor Rodman said
that Thomas Jefferson was a master
architect of his day, that he was an
outstanding advocate of scientific re­search,
and that several public ser­vices
were started by him. He named
the weather bureau as one example.
Professor Rodman came to Auburn
as an official of the American Insti­tute
of Electrical Engineers, of
which there is a branch at Auburn.
He was visiting several points, go­ing
from here to Birmingham and
from there to the University of Ala­bama.

BY WAPI FOR NEXT WEEK
COTTON INDUSTRY SUFFERING
FROM LACK OF RESEARCH WORK
In speaking to classes in chemis­try
here Thursday, Dr. Charles R.
Herty, nationally known chemist of
New York, said that the cotton in­dustry
is suffering because research
is being neglected.
"In view of the capital invested
and the value of the manufactured
products," said Dr. Herty, "there is
less money being spent on research
for the improvement of the textile
industry than of any other industry.
The amount is pitifully small com­pared
to the rayon industry."
The speaker then said that a fund
of $2,000,000 is available from Ger­man
reparations for work of this
kind. He insisted that the textile in­dustry
should rally around it by sup­plementing
it and establishing a fund
large enough for conducting ade­quate
research.
Dr. Herty is confident that vast
improvements can be made in the
cotton textile industry by an inten­sive
and intelligent study of factors
limiting and retarding progress. __
Sandwiches, in which the main
food content was made from cotton
seed, were served here Thursday to
faculty and students in chemistry at
the conclusion of his lecture.
The cotton seed product was de­scribed
by Dr. Herty as a "vegetable
meat." It was manufactured by the
manufacturer of wesson oil and other
products.

Finals in the annual Dramatic

won Friday morning's set with
their presentation "The Land of
Heart's Desire."
"The Head of the House of
Marne", presented by the Shdaes-Ca-haba
High School, of Birmingham,
was judged the winner among the
plays presented yesterday afternoon.
Miss Mildred A. Martin is the direc­tor.

group has been selected, the
announcement was not made in time
enough to announce in the Plainsman.
Judges for the finals will be Kath-erine
Hare Clark, Don Bloch, and
Dryden Baughman.
Much interest is being shown in
the tournament. Increasingly large
numbers of college students and
townspeople are attending, according
to statements from faculty members
and students.
"Quite a number of the plays have
been really good ones," stated Pro­fessor
Harrison, of the English de­partment.
"I think," he continued,
"that it would certainly be well for
many of the college students to at­tend
these plays."

AUBURN CAMPUS IS GETTING
HOT WITH STUDENT POLITICS
Overnight, the campus has been
thrown into the throes of one of
the most intense political cam­paigns
in the history of the col­lege.
As the many hopeful office
seekers hastily make preparations
for the approaching election, po­litics
once more becomes the chief
topic of discussion at the "bull
sessions" held at the various fra­ternity
houses, boarding houses,
and dormitories.
Cigars, cigarettes, sandwiches,
drinks, picture shows and other fa­vors
are going fast since an early
election, April 1st, has limited the
time for campaign activities. Stump
speaking will probably be in order
by the early part of next week.
The more aspiring candidates
have begun their race with a loud
gusto. The campaign managers
are busy patching up the weak
places in the political machinery,
oiling up the cogs, and getting
things ready for one of the hottest
races A.P.I, has ever known.
Platforms are being formulated
rapidly. Many promises made and
broken. Some candidates wish to
serve humanity; some want to re­form
the student body; some seek
honor. Others want the job for the
job's sake; still others are in fa­vor
of abolishment of prohibition;
while a few wish to uphold the
Volstead Act. But they all seek
election.
Only ten more days and there
will be a few from this large group
of Candidates who will be rejoicing
over election', and the rest will be
consoling themselves as best they
can. The fate lies with politics
and the classes. Who knows what
the elections may bring forth?
"We are citizens first an?
bers of political parties second. Our
first duty is to uphold the law," said
Judge E. H. Glenn, of Opelika, in
speaking before the Rotary club
Thursday at the Thomas Hotel. In
explaining the executive branch of
our government, Judge Glenn empha­sized
the fact that ours was a gov­ernment
of laws and not of men,
hence our choice for high officials
must reflect respect for principles
and should not be based on the per­sonal
qualities alone of those seek­ing
office.
The president of the United States
was referred to as having "more au­thority
than any other ruler, mon­arch,
or prime minister on the face
of the earth." Despite the present
tendency in political thinking to cu»-
tail the powers of the president, his
jurisdiction still is a vast one, said

WELCOME HIGH SCHOOL
DRAMATISTS
To the many high school students
and faculty members who are here to
participate in the annual high school
dramatic tournament, the student body
of this institution, through The Plains­man,
extends a most cordial welcome
to Auburn. Auburn also welcomes
those who are neither students nor
instructors, but who have come here
in the interest of dramatics in Alabama
high schools.
We congratulate the high schools for
having dramatic organizations that are
considered worthy of participation in
the contest, and it is our opinion that
the schools are fortunate in having
talent of the caliber that has been dis­played
this week-end.
It is unfortunate, however, that only
one high school will leave Auburn with
the coveted trophy in its possession,
but the best presentation will be deser­ving
of the cup, and the less fortunate
contestants will have the satisfaction
of knowing that the group that has
been judged best had a big job in the
winning of the cup.
To organize a group of high school
. students into a dramatic club is not an
easy task. In the early life of such
an organization there is always marked
enthusiasm on the part of the mem­bers,
probably due to the fact that
dramatics is usually appealing to a
student in high school.
Lack of interest will cause a ciui»
of this type to degrade; very often
the participants will tire of thg
.ty. An incapable gro^gftnstructors,
too, is a sujaHtfayto send* drwhatic
^jJJW^Mthe roeks. " One must admit
that the conditions mentioned have not
entered into the ranks of any of the
high school players who are visitors
in Auburn this week-end. .
For a high school to be represented
in the tournament is an indication that
there are students registered in that
school who are interested in dramatics;
the acting is a good indication of the
class of instruction the players are re-receiving.
Again, The Plainsman welcomes the
high school players to Auburn, and
hopes that they will not wait until a
year has passed before they visit here
again.
TWELFTH NIGHT
On April 3, the students of Auburn
will be given an opportunity to wit­ness
a play written by the master-dramatist,
William Shakespeare. It
should not be difficult for the students
to enjoy this play, as it is representa­tive,
not only of magnificent dramatic
Technique, but also of humor that is
unsurpassed in richness in the entire
history of drama.
Twelfth Night is a boisterious come­dy
in five acts. Ben Greet has selected
this particular play because of its un­failing
popularity with college students.
It is not every day that the student
body is given an opportunity to see
real drama at its best, and The Plains­man
feels that the students will make
the best of it by their attendance in
large numbers.
The Ben Greet Players are not un­skilled,
small-town actors. They come
from England with an international
' reputation for efficiency and superb-ness
in dramatic art.
It is an interesting fact that very
little scenery will be used by the com­pany.
This lack of setting is said to
be a most effective factor in the suc­cessful
presentation of a Shakespear­ean
play.
Auburn students are supposed to
have enough culture to really appreci­ate
fine drama, and we feel sure that
the student body will join us in sup­porting
such a worth while enterprise.
In order that students may acquaint
themselves with this particular Shake-pearean
drama, The Plainsman will
publish a synopsis of Twelfth Night at
a later date.
KEEP OFF
Whatever motives of vandalism arid
utter disregard for constructive effort
that may be harbored in the minds of
Auburn students it seems that signs,
placed about the campus to protect the
young grass, should command the re­spect
of the student body. What en­treaty
could be more polite than
"Please"? Yet, despite the earnest en­deavor
to beautify the campus and the
gentle reminders, students continue to
deface the natural beauty of the cam­pus.
Whether such actions are prompted
by carelessness or a sheer desire to
destroy things of beauty, they are to
be deplored and deserve prompt atten­tion
by everyone. This publication
calls for the cooperation of all stu­dents
in preserving campus beauty,
and demands that perpetrators of such
ideas be brought to account.
BY ALL MEANS DRINK!
There is no doubt about it. There was at
one time an age of virtue. Billions of peo­ple
the world over cannot.be wrong. And
millions of the older generation have adopt­ed
it as their theme song. There was once
an age of virtue.
About that there is no doubt. The only
hazy part concerns the exact date of that
innocent, beautiful age. That age it was
when children played with toys, and not
fire; when the youth of the world thought
seriously of the forbidding life before them
and failed to get mixed up with rum parties
or social sprees at 3 a. m.; when men talked
business, thought business, carried on busi­ness,
instead of taking the blond in the
front row of the chorus to dinner; when
wives bore children and not grudges. Was
that age yesterday, a year ago, a century
past, or a thousand years dead? That is
the catch. When was the age of virtue?
Mother subtly implies with becoming
modesty that hers was the age of virtue.
Grandmother comes right back and indig­nantly
reminds mother of those scandalous
two-seated bicycles she rode, of the split
riding-skirts. Mother's age indeed! Grand­mother's
it was. But in all courtesy to
grandmother, we must refute her claim.
We spy her own mother turning over in
her grave. Grandmother's age indeed!
The age of virtue, fortunately, has fore­gone
the distinction of being bound by
numbers of years. It remains like a
bow, gatherless, f '""ydtLLUUui."* It in
a beautifulpic<tj(jff*^5 we likts-each one
paint'it with our own colors.
However, that abstract age of virtue bobs
up-consistently whenever a group of de­baters
discuss the subject of drinking by
present-day college students. There is no
reason for it. College students in other
years did without liquor to an appreciable
extent. Why should their example not be
perpetuated, observed, enforced?
The Kernel knows of only one reason
why college students today should drink.
And that is because they were not students
in any other age or time.
Just as mother's split riding-skirts were
considered bad taste when they first ap­peared,
just as grandmother's ankles had
to be covered if she were not to be called
naked, just as great-grandmother's escort
had to be chosen by her parents if she were
not to join the socially ostracised; the mod­ern
college student's drinking is condemned.
Free rein given to any form of indulgence
is certain to result in danger and even vice,
but with moderation there can be little
-arm in drinking.
* It is just another way for the youth of
the twentieth century express its daring,
its gaiety, its smartness. Two-seated bi­cycles
would look ridiculous, split riding-skirts
would be unfashionable. Perhaps
the next age will consider drinking to be
bad form. There being only one reason
for drinking by college students, likewise
there appears to be only one permanent
cure.
Bring on a new age. That is the remedy.

When one considers the nature of the
average Auburn theatre crowd he specu­lates
on the success of the Ben Greet com­pany.
These actors are English, and their
speech will seem strange to our Southern
ears; however, this should not be an object
of ridicule and laughter by the audience.
It is to be hoped that no shallow-minded
backwoodsman will attempt to ruin the
play by barbaric antics.
This play will not be like a picture show;
the audience has quite a part to play in
order to make the presentation successful.
Two or three students can ruin the play
and place a stain on the name of Auburn
that will become indelible as far as the­atrical
companies are concerned.
George William Russell, Irish poet, has
said: "I have a complaint against the Unit­ed
States. It arises out of Longfellow's
'Psalm of Life'. That poem is drilled into
every child. They never forget the line,
'Let us then be up and doing', and Ameri­ca
has been 'up and doing' every since.
That is the cause of all your economic prob­lems.
You are working people so hard
that you have, naturally, overproduction.
You should cultivate the adorable virtue of
idleness."
According to this even the wicked Haak­on
has one virtue left.

Dear Sir:
Stuart Chase says that REPETITION is
REPUTATION in the advertising business.
There was distributed among an Eng­lish
class, literature, in the form of a
pamphlet, containing information that all
college men should, and have, received in
the high schools.
Upon close examination one could, see that
the main point in the pamphlet was to RE­PEAT
the fact that Halsey, Stuart and
Company still have left a few BONDS TO
FIT THE INVESTOR. In my opinion, it
was a clever scheme to advertise their busi­ness
through the college.
Why a state school should tolerate such
trashy advertising is inexplicable to me.
Very truly yours, S. M.
A LITTLE ENGLISH, PLEASE
Brains, mathematics and English—these
three, in the judgment of Dr. Wilburt C.
Davison, of Duke University, are essential
to the success of a medical student. Omit
mathematics, and we should say that they
are essential to the success of any student.
Come to think of it, he might get along
without English, but he would be hopelessly
handicapped in life's practical as well as
its higher relationships. Yet of all defici­encies
under which young gentlemen enter­ing
college (and we are tempted to say,
among those graduating) now labor, lack
in English seems, to an outsider, most pro­nounced.
Ability to spell is a gift of the
gods, and should not be expected of the
educated rank and file. But whosoever
bears away the diploma of a high school
should know something of his parts of
speech, and the term "college bred" should
imply a fair facility in the written as well
as the spoken use of one's mother tongue.
We*make no indictments, but do suggest
that Dr. Davison's emphasis upon the need
for English is worth pondering.

WHAT HOBBY?

Maxwell Whitaker, graduate student at

hasn't—Hoover or Horton? The most uni­que
thing about James' hobby is that it's
diversified. He fairly delights in writing
letters to students of twenty-one nations
in five different languages. And to say
nothing of information ad infinitum he has
an adorable collection of stamps.—Hunga­rian
ones are placed in the lower left hand
corner of the envelopes. Japanese letters
are addressed vertically and Russian ones
have two addresses so that Russian post­masters
may read them.

would be a noble feminine hobby!—and

The best news that we have had from
Washington in a long time is that the un-expurgated
copies of five classics are now
removed from the censor's list, and that
the hither-to pure American mind may be
at last lawfully corrupted by reading these
books. The books are Rabelais' Gargantua
and Pantagrue, The Arabian Nights, The
Memoirs of Cassanova, Apuleuis' Golden
Ass, and Boccaccio's Decameron Tales. The
removal of the censorship was brought
about by the tariff act of 1930 which shows
that at least we owe something to the Re­publicans.
I, for one, am glad to be able
to buy these books from others than prof­iteering
hawkers. At the moment, we are
waiting for the Modern Library to an­nounce
publication of cheap editions of all
five of these books. But why rejoice now?
The victory is not complete—Bostonians
aren't allowed to read them!
* * * * *
Indeed, I can't understand censorship in
the United States. Book such as Lady
Chatterley's Lover are barred, while abso­lutely
filthy books with not a high-minded
thought in them are allowed. An example
of the latter is William C. Bullitt's It's Not
Done. No, dear freshmen and co-eds, it
isn't in the library. A picture called Party
Girl, was banned in Chicago'and Birming­ham,
but was allowed to be shown in most
of the other cities through America. Yet,
it was exactly the same picture, and, as
far as is known, caused no abnormal in­crease
in crime where it was shown. It
isn't conceivable that a dirty book or pic­ture
do an adult mind any harm; to tell
the truth, I believe it will do the mind good,
if taken in moderation. But, here, here—
I'm going to get myself into trouble if I**'

ON GRADUATION
Four long, years we've played the game,
Undergone the toil and strife.
We've eluded fate and longer for fame,
In the field we chose for life.
Four long years our hopes have grown,
Thru the long and fretful fight.
And now we're thru, our joy has flown,
Since we have no jobs in sight.
THE BRIGHTER SIDE OF LIFE
It's kinda tough, if the way is rough,
And the path is dim and shaded.
It's kinda bad, when our heart is sad,
And a shining future faded.
And we kinda quail, if at first we fail,
At a task that we have taken.
And we're kinda glum, if doubtings come
With firm convictions shaken.
We must realize, to be worldly wise,
Our lot comes not by choosing.
In loss there's gain, and joy in pain,
Since we- learn to win by losing.
Nothing in the world is worth consider­ing
except the truth.—E. Phillips Oppen-heim.

Scientist Has New
Ideas Of Universe
Gustav Ebding Believes That
Trips to the Moon and Other
Planets Will Be Made Soon
Cleveland—(IP)— Gustav F. Eb­ding,
of Cleveland, who failed in his
injunction suit to keep President
Hoover from taking office in 1929,
and author of a book proving—to
his satisfaction—that the world is
not a globe but rather that we live
on the inside of a big hole in solid
space, now has a new idea of reach­ing
the moon.
According to Ebding's theory, all
stars, the moon and the sun are in
the center of this fairly small vacant
space, and the way to get to China
quickest is to fly straight up.
To encourage aviators to fly to
the moon, which he says is less than
100 miles away, Ebding would have
someone give $5,000 for every miles
above the eight-mile limit flown by
an aviator.
Some day, he claims, trips will be
made to the moon within a few min­utes
flying time.
Cleveland To Use New
Football Stadium in '32
Cleveland, Ohio—(IP)—With its

here in 1932, possibly between Pur­due

On the Corner
(NSFA)—"To be successful in
this Machine Age we must find out
what the Machine Age is. We must
learn first that it is governed by
facts, not by opinion," was the key­note
of an address delivered by
Edward A. Filene, President of
William Filene's Sons Company of
Boston, over a Columbia Broadcast­ing
network program under the
sponsorship of the National Student
Federation of America, Tuesday.
"I am not going to lay down any
of the old rules for success. I shall
not tell you that success will sure­ly
come from industry, honesty and
thrift. These are, of course, indis­pensable
virtues. Nevertheless mil­lions
of industrious, honest and
thrifty citizens of China starved to
death recently," Mr. Filene declared.
Learning how other people have
succeeded in the past is of little
use to us today. We cannot learn
about the Machine Age. by asking
people, even successful people, what
they think about it. The essential
difference between the Machine Age
and other ages is simply the differ­ence
in the things that man can do.
To be successful we must learn the
tacts, he npintedT^ufT"1
Mr. Filene's word of advice to
the young men and women who wish
to succeed was that business success
depends, first, upon ascertaining
what great masses of people- want;
second, in getting it to them at a
price "they can and will pay; and
thirdr in organizing this process so
that the-masses will have adequate
buying power. We must first dis­cover
some human need, especially
something which a great number of
people need, and then devote our­selves
to discovering how best that
need can be filled to the greatest
satisfaction of the greatest number
of people.—Ex.
Columbia Having
Fraternity War
Smaller Fraternities "Talk too
Much"; Fifteen Withdraw
From Council
New York—(IP)—An Associated
Press reporter is authority for the
fact that Columbia University has a
frat war on its hands. And Mr.
Grundy is said to have done it.
Says the reporter:
"Mr. Grundy, former senator of
Pennsylvania, told western senators
from states not so thickly populated
they 'ought to talk darn small.' "
The idea got to Columbia and the
daily student paper translated it into
college language for the edification
of fraternities whose equipment con­sisted
of a name, by-laws, and maybe
a couple of 'chairs in a dormitory.
Until then the oldest and strongest
fraternities were more or less con­tent
with the interfraternity council
which enforced an agreement to reg­ulate
rushing and other campus bus­iness.
Not unlike the western sena­tors,
the smaller fraternities talked
as they pleased—and the war began.
Fifteen of the largest societies
withdrew from the council and drew
up a new agreement which provides,
among other things, that weaker
fraternities can talk only as much as
their size and stability are worth.
For -further complication Beta
Theta Pi washed its hands of the
whole affair and announced indepen­dence
of any and all groups. Thir­teen
fraternities remain in the coun­cil.
Actual hostility is not looked for
until the next rushing season when,
under the present arangement, "rush­ing"
will turn into 'sandbagging'.
'Sandbagging', students explained,
is a process whereby upper class men,
spotting an eligible freshman, at­tempt
to get him into their frater­nity
'by fair means or foul'.
It is a process not conducive to
peace of mind on the part of the un­sophisticated'
frosh.
The old agreement was made in
1925".
FUTURE HOPE OF MEXICO LIES IN
EXTENSIVE EDUCATIONAL SYSTEM
In education lies the greatest hope
for the future of Mexico, according
to Senor Enrique C. Aguirre, form­er
member of the faculty of the Na­tional
University of Mexico, and
director of recreation of the Federal
District of Mexico, who recently
addressed the student body of
American University.
The extensive educational pro­gram
now being carried on by Mexi­co
has as its object not only the
teaching of the "three R's" but more
important, the social rehabilitation
which will result in political stabili­ty
of the country, Senor Aguirre
said. Of the three divisions of the
educational system in Mexico, the
University of Mexico is at the head.
This institution was founded by
King Charles III of Spain in 1531.
The University always has an active
interest in public affairs, riots be­ing
frequent manifestations of said
interest.

and primary schools, under the di­rection

An International Conference on
Calendar Simplification was placed
on the agenda of the next General
Conference of Communications and

League of Nations, meeting this fall,
with the United States participat­ing,
to take definite action to secure
calendar improvement.
In the United States there are
two major plans under considerat­ion—
the International Fixed Cal­endar
which proposes a thirteen-month-
year, and The World Calendar
which proposes a twelve-month-year.
The "Swiss Plan" favored in Europe
and The World Calendar are fun­damentally'
the same, as the halves

calendar is effected in each;
the arrangement within the quarters
is different.
During the coming months, there

Major Otis G. Hammond, director
of the New Hampshire Historical,

rather came right on up into New

before the Battle of Lexington had
even been thought of.

Third, the most important, is the
system of rural schools. Not many
years ago there was a great amount
of illiteracy among the Mexican peo­ple.
This was due in a large part to
the rural and agricultural nature of
most of the country. After twelve
years of experimentation and study,
there !has been developed out of
Mexico itself and original system of
rural schools, designed to meet the
pecular needs of Mexico. At present
there are 7,500 rural schools in the
country, and they are increasing at
the rate of about 1,500 a year. The
government has made a large reduc­tion
in the war budget, while at the
same time greatly increasing the quo­ta
for education, to help further the
program. Most of the rural schools
are being built by the people of the
various communities, while the gov­ernment
pays only for the teachers.

European Travel
Costs Are Cheap
Trips May Be Made to Scan­dinavia
For $ 2 0 0 and Less
Cleveland, O. — (IP) — Students
who fear to plan a summer trip to
Europe need have no fears that it
is an expensive luxury, as so many
Americans seem to think according
to information gathered here.
An examination of the facts tends
to show that a trip to Europe is one
of the cheapest forms of American
holiday. Most transportation costs
in America involve an expenditure
of at least 5 cents a mile, plus the
cost of "meals and sleeping berths,
or hotel bills if the trip is made by
automobile.
The cost of a steamship passage
always includes meals and cabin, and
the official minimun rates of the
various lines crossing the Atlantic
show that it costs much less per mile
to go to Europe. For example, take
a trip to Scandanavian ports. Copen­hagen
is 4,500 miles from New York,
and the round trip therefore covers
some 9,000 miles.
The cost of a round trip third class
tourist passage, including meals and
berths both ways is as low as $200,
or just a fifth of a penny over two
cents a mile. If the tourist prefers
to go in the higher cabin class, the
cost of the one-way trip is $145,
which for the 4,500 miles is just
one-tenth of a penny over 3 cents
a mile.

The popularity of the Omnibus
College, founded in 1926 by Dr.
William R. Goldsmith, professor of
embryology and eugenics at the Uni­versity
of Witchita, has recently re­ceived
added impetus as a result of
the decision that the University of
Nebraska will co-operate with Wi­chita
in the 1931 educational vent­ure.
The midwest universities are of­fering
credit courses as a part of
the" Omnibus college. The Nebraska
school will offer a course in field
geography and the University of
Wichita will give courses in Ameri-man
history and field and museum
biology. Other courses will be of­fered
independent of the college fac­ulty.
Dr. Goldsmith is well known be­cause
of the interest which his "Uni­versity

University of Wichita. Formerly he
was for 10 years at Southwestern
college Winfield.
"The affiliation of the University
of Nebraska with the University of
Wichita is the greatest honor that
the Omnibus college has received,"
Dr. Goldsmith said. This year's tour
is sponsored by the University of
Wichita.
The college had 650 members last
year and enrollment fee was $200.
It has a full corps of professor, giv­ing
instruction and illustrating text
book work. This year's expedition
will cover 6,000 miles, visiting 25
states. Three sections of busses will
carry students, the first starting in
June.
Although the first formal ex­pedition
of the Omnibus College
took place # in 1926, the idea had
been growing steadily for four years.
It began in the summer of 1922 when
Dr. Goldsmith drove from Winfield,
Kansas, to Massachusetts to attend
the summer session of the Marine
Biological Laboratory at Woods Hole.
Several student assistants went with
him and all enjoyed the trip thor­oughly.
The following summer Dr.
Goldsmith mentioned in one of his
classes that he was planning the same
sort of trip to Indiana. A number of
students accompanied him, using sec­ond-
hand Fords and Army puptents.
From then on the trips received local
publicity, and in 1925 caused nation­wide
comment because of the fact
that seven students were lost in the
mountains of Tennessee. The wide­spread
newspaper comment resulted
in such a large number of applica­tions
for the next expedition that
some were necessarily rejected.—Ex.

Exclusive permission to open an
Indian mound near Toccoa, Ga., has
been granted to Brenau College, and
last Sunday afternoon President and
Mrs. H. J. Pierce, with seven other
members of the faculty visited the
site. Under the guidance of Colonel
and Mrs. W. A. Bailey and Mrs. J.
P. Walton of Toccoa, the mound was
examined and plans were made for
opening it. In the ploughed field
surrounding it, the party gathered
fragments of Indian relics, including
arrow-heads, about fifty bits of baked
clay pottery, a piece of human bone,
and a curious large ball of quartz
probably used with an Indian sling.
The pottery fragments are marked
with twenty different styles of decor­ation,
indicating a high state of prim­itive
culture. The basketry design
is noticeable, used by early peoples
to imitate the prehistoric stage when
woven baskets were daubed with clay,
then sun-dried, and thus made wa­ter
tight, before the art of firing was
discovered and the basket-woven base
abandoned.
(Continued from page .1)
All who ate the sandwiches agreed
that the flavor was delicious and Dr.
Herty vouched for the high nutri­tive
value of them.
In discussing the possibilities of
it, he said that enough protein is
contained in the cotton seed produced
annually in the United States to sup­ply
53,000,000 people with all the
protein they need throughout a year.
The speaker said that a pound of
protein in mutton chops cost $3.70,
in beefsteak, $3.04; and in milk,
$2.65. These figures compare with
a cost of five cents a pound for pro­tein
in cotton seed, he said.
"Utilization ai cotton seed as a
food for people," he declared, "has
great possibilities. "Think of the
enormous reduction in price and of
the high amount available! It is an
opportunity of great importance. We
are greatly indebted to chemists for
working it out for us."

Meiklejohn Suggests
Experimental College
At Wisconsin Closing
The University of Wisconsin in­tends,
upon the suggestion of Dr.
Alexander Meiklejohn, to recom­mend
the discontinuance of the ex­perimental
college, according to an
Associated Press release. Dr.
Meiklejohn has directed the five-year
experiment.
"The closing of the college," Dr.
Meiklejohn said, "would enable the
faculty of the university to make a
study of the results obtained." After
consideration of the practical aspects
of the experiment, Dr. Meiklejohn
suggested that the faculty either con­tinue
the college, modify its scope or
abandon all formal experimentation.
The experimental college marked
a radical departure in education. Dr.
Meiklejohn set up the educational
laboratory at the suggestion of Dr.
Glenn Frank, president of the univer­sity,
who induced him to join the
faculty. He was president of Am­herst
College from 1912 until 1924.
In the experimental college Dr.
Meiklejohn set up new lines of pro­cedure
for first and second year
students. The students composed a
separate unit at the university.
They had their own classrooms and
lived together in a dormitory. They
thus were practically secluded from
the academic life of the university as
a whole.
s^After two years in the experiment­al
college, the students became mem-
College Failures Due to
A Lack of Development
Studies of failures in college have
shown that trouble usually arises
from the fact that the student has
not developed self-control, integra­tion,
and balance. Without those at­tributes
one can never be a success;
with them no failure is possible.
These essentials must not be con­fused
with certain troublesome traits
that resemble them superficially. One
of these most likely to be confused
with true maturity is the "wise guy"
attitude. This represents continued
crowing by the collegiate bantam
from the dunghill of shallow and taw­dry
experience with the dissolute ele­ments
of life. Almost every fra­ternity
has its quota of these pests.
It is fair to assume that some fresh­man
must be ensnared by the sur­passing
glory of these individuals;
otherwise their species would long
ago have become extinct.

Suspension -of Max Gordon, City
College student, for "spreading a
lie through the college paper and
insubordination" is the latest devel­opment
in the case of the student
anti-R. O. T. C. fight, according to
a statement from President Robin­son's
office.
This issue was raised last week
when the publication of the Social
Problems club carrying articles
against R. O. T. C. called "Fronti­ers"
was confiscated on the grounds
that "nothing except personal be­longings
may be kept in student
lockers." The president of the club
Max Weiss, called upon President
Robinson to request the return of
the magazines and to protest against
the action taken. Whereupon the
club was suspended.
Weiss protested against his action,
and he was suspended, together with
ten members of the club. The mem­bers
were, however, reinstated after
signing a declaration agreeing to
uphold constitutional authority in'
the state and college.
A letter from Max Gordon, one
of the reinstated members, was
printed in the "Campus," in which
the writer accused the authorities
of suspending Weiss because of his
political views. This was regarded
as a violation of his signed pledge,
and branded as a "lie;" so Gordon
was suspended. A committee of grad­uates
and students has been formed,
which will issue a leaflet to protest
for distribution on Monday.—Ex.

THE whole country is talking about the throat-easy
mildness and the prime freshness of Camel
Cigarettes in the new Humidor Pack.
The above chart prepared by the Pittsburgh Testing
Laboratory tells you why.
Please examine it carefully. It is an unfailing guide
to cigarette selection and enjoyment.
As you can quickly see by the three upper curves on
this interesting chart, cigarettes that lack the protec­tion
of the Humidor Pack lose their moisture rapidly
from the day they are manufactured.
And day by day as this moisture disappears, the
smoke from these cigarettes becomes harsher, hotter,
more unkind to the smoker's throat.
Not so with Camels!
The Humidor Pack is moisture proof and sealed air­tight
at every point. It protects the rich, flavorful
aroma of the choice Turkish and Domestic tobaccos
of which Camels a r e blended.
Make these tests yourself
It is so easy to tell the difference between parched dry
cigarettes and fresh prime Camels that it is no wonder
everybody is reaching for afresh cigarette today.
Your fingers identify stale, dried-out tobaccos at once.
While a Camel is flexible and pliant.
Your ears can tell the difference too. For a dust-dry
cigarette crackles under pressure.
But the real test is taste and there is simply no com*
parison between the rich mildness of a Camel and the
hot, brackish smoke from a stale, dry cigarette.
Switch to Camels just for today then leave them
tomorrow if you can.

Artificial heat in houses and

the old fashioned way. It is the

this cigarette will remain fresh
