"A" CLUB TO PRESENT GREAT
ORCHESTRA IN INITIAL DANCE
The "A" Club announces that its
first dance of the year will take place
next Saturday night, September 19,
at 9 p.m. As is customary, the dance
will be held on the second floor of the
Alumni Gymnasium.
A recently renovated and egregri-ously
enlarged Auburn Knights Or­chestra
under the direction of Jimmie
Robins will provide a maelstrom of
music that is guaranteed to please the
most exacting. Selections will be
played "marajphixbo"* (which trans­lated
from, the ancient Egyptian,
means "as the occasion requires").
During the past summer and in the
early days of the school year new
musicians have been added' to the or­chestra
and a much more finished and
entertaining group of entertainers are
in. the offing.
Musical critics of note are pro­claiming
the Knights to be Alabama's
finest band. Saturday night will offer
the entire student body their first
opportunity to hear this talented
group of musicians. Robbins is con­sidered
a potential director that will
follow the kings of jazz to the most
dazzling heights in the bright lights.
The spirit of college festivity and
social life will be awakened Saturday
night. All students are urged-to at­tend
this dance.
The customary charge of one dollar
must necessarily be levied again this
year. The "A" Club has been un­able
to reduce prices to meet depres­sion
demands, but offers a higher
form of entertainment and an or­chestra
worthy of enormous cover
charges.
WARD AND HARDIE
GET SCHOLARSHIP
Prominent Business , Students
To Receive Expenses For
Year
G. B. Ward, of Auburn, and Wel-bourn
Hardie, of Birmingham, have
recently been, awarded scholarships
at Auburn by the Charles Irwin Trav-elly
Corporation, of Boston, Mass.
These scholarships will pay all col­lege
fees for only one year, but it is
possible for a student to win the
scholarship twice in succession. Both
are awarded in the School of Science
and Literature only, and selection is
based mainly upon scholastic ability
and leadership. Freshmen are not
eligible, it being demanded that a
man must have proved himself.
Both Ward and Hardie are prom­inent
students at Auburn, the form­er
being a junior and the latter a
senior. Ward's average for the last
scholastic year was 91.36, while
Hardie's average was 91.25.

J. K. Watkins Speaks
At Kiwanis Luncheon
John K. Watkins, Opelika, address­ed
the Auburn Kiwanis Club Mon­day
on Kiwanis aims and ideals. He
named and discussed, one by one, Ki­wanis
principles, showing how a Ki­wanis
club serves and promotes the
town or city in which ti is located.
Mr. Watkins is lieutenant governor
of the third division of Alabama. He
was accompanied to Auburn by J.
K. Haynie, Opelika druggist. R. Y.
Bailey, president of the club, presid­ed
at the meeting.
Upon recommendation of a com-
^mittee headed by Dr. B. F. Thomas
the club voted to appropriate $100.00
to assist in landscaping the new
school building at Auburn.
Y. M. C. A. Will Hold
Banquet For Members
A banquet in honor of the students
who have joined the Y. M. C. A. this
year, and another banquet in honor
of the fraternity pledges of Auburn
will be given some time in the near
future, according to an announce­ment
made by Faybert Martin, gen­eral
secretary of the Auburn Y. M. C.
A-These
additions have been made to
the Y. M. C- A. program because of
a long felt need of a more closely
knit Y. M. C. A. organization, and
because Auburn can be greatly bene­fitted
by some means of bringing all
the fraternity pledges into a closer
and friendlier relationship.
Auburn will send several repre­sentatives
to the Hi-Y conference
which is to meet in Birmingham this
week-end, but as yet the names of
the students who are going have not
been' announced.
Organizing and helping out the
local Hi-Y Clubs are the duties of
the Y. M. C. A. Deputations Com­mittee,
and Joe Barrett was elected
chairman of this committee at a
meeting of the Y. M. C. A. Cabinet
Sunday. Although it has not been
definitely decided, it is likely that
the members of this committee will
attend the Hi-Y conference.
Howard Clark was elected as a new
member of the student Y. M. C. A.
cabinet.
With a steady enrollment contin­uing
each day, the total number of
students entering college this year has
passed the eighteen hundred mark, ac­cording
to a statement made public
yesterday from the president's office.
The present mark is already equal to
last year's enrollment when it closed
on October first, and, in view of the
continued influx of late applicants,
should mean an increase of at least
one hundred students over last year's
total.
The number of students-in each
class has ~not yet been definitely de­termined,
but cards are at present be­ing
assorted and an announcement re­garding
the different divisions of the
institution should be made public
within the next few days.
NOTICE!
All parties wishing to submit bids
for decorating the gymnasium for
the Sophomore Hop must have their
bids in by noon Monday, Sept. 21.
Contract will be let by Executive
Cabinet that day.
DISTRIBUTION OF
FEE IS ANNOUNCED
TO STUDENT BODY
Portion To Athletics Is Increas­ed
To Fifty Per Cent In New
Division
BAND INCLUDED
Y. M. C. A. And Y. W. C. A
Are Self-Sustaining This
Year
An increase of five per cent was
authorized for athletics in the division
of funds derived from student activ
ity fees, thus bringing the athletic
total up to fifty per cent. This was
an increase of five per cent over last
year, an act made possible by the fact
that the Y. M. C. A. and Y. W. C. A.
•have become self-sustaining. The
small amount set aside this year for
the Y. M. C. A. was for the purpose
of improving the quarters of the "Y
since the college did not have the
funds to make the necessary improve­ments.
The band was allowed one and one-half
per cent this year because it is
deemed a worthy enterprise and one
in which all of the students of the
institution are profoundly interested.
This organization needed funds for
a new librarian and an assistant band
leader to help train the new men in
the enlarged group of college musi­cians.
For the present year this distribu­tion
is as follows:
Project Percentage
Athletics 60
Glomerata . . . . . . . . 24.
Plainsman . . . . . . . . 14
Lectures 1
Dramatics and Speech . . . 1
Y.M.C.A. and Y.W.C.A. . . . 2
Social Committee . . . . . 6%
Auhurn Band . . . . . . 1%
Total . . . . . . . 100
NOTICE!
All pictures to be submitted for
selection in the beauty section of
the Glomerata must be turned in to
the Editor by November 15th.
Dean Scott Announces
Enlargment This Year
Dr. J. W. Scott, Dean of the School
of Science and Literature, has an­nounced
two new courses this year,
Engineering Administration and Ag­ricultural
Administration, both of
which are senior courses.
Dean Scott points out that students
in every department of the college are
now taking business subjects listed
under the cirricula of Business Ad­ministration.
This number increases'
each year as other schools of the col­lege
are requiring an increasingly
large number of Business Administra­tion
subjects in their courses.
A Penny A Word for
Modern Advertising
The Business Manager of the
"South's finest college newspaper"
recently left some papers on his
desk and stepped out of the
Plainsman office to round up some
business. During his fatal ab­sence
one of the newshounds on
the editorial staff appropriated
several of these papers to occupy
his undeveloped and unoccupied
mind. Ere his return this journal­istic
aspirant had in some miracu­lous
fashoin digested the gist of
the majority of these papers and
had passed his information on to
the "higher-ups" through the me­dium
of blackmail. There remain­ed
but one open course so the man
in possession of the "dirt" follow­ing
this illegal transaction, rather
than keep a "white elephant" on
his hands sent the copy back to
the composer and he sends it on
to you.
The Plainsman offers for its
readers a rate on advertising, the
greatest selling medium and most
'efficient Sherlock in the civilized
world, that can be found in any
paper of its quality and wideness
of circulation in our great com­monwealth.
Strange as it seems
the rate in this magnificent publi­cation
may be obtained for the
staggering sum of one cent a word
with a minimum charge of twenty-five
cents on classified want ads.
Be modern! Advertise in the
Plainsman and get results. (Pd.

Auburn Players
To Hold Try-Outs
Thursday Night
Try-outs for three one-act plays
will be held at the Y Hut Thursday
night at 8:00, according to an an­nouncement
made at the Auburn
Players meeting Monday night. The
three plays to be presented were
read at the meeting Monday night
by members of the English and
speech faculty, and according to the
general comment of those present,
met with the approval of the whole
organization.
The Auburn Players, according to
the new professor in charge of dra­matics,
will start at once on an ex­tensive
program of development, and
it is the hope of those in charge that
every one interested will be present
at the tryouts Thursday night.
Prof essor Peet stated that plans were
under way to make the . Auburn

Inez Sheppard Is
Appointed Dietitian
New York Hospital
Miss Inez Sheppard, who graduated
in home economics here has been ap­pointed,
special dietitian at the Metro­politan
Hospital in -New York, accord­ing
to Miss - Louise Glanton, head of
the department of home economics of
the Alabama Polytechnic Institute.
Before receiving this appointment
Miss Sheppard received special train­ing
at the Riverside Hospital, New
York. She left Auburn early, in 1931
and spent most of the year in special
training.
The Metropolitan Hospital has
10,000 beds. Miss Sheppard will do
her work under direct instructions
from physicians who will furnish her
information as to age, weight, and
disease of the patient. Miss Sheppard,

A special meeting of the Interfra-ternity
Council was called by presi­dent
Hugh W. Ellis, on Tuesday
night, to hear reports from the dele­gate
to the Southeastern Interfratern-ity
Conference and the chairman of
the Interfraternity Handbook Com­mittee.
Louis Gholston, delegate to the con­ference
held at Blue Ridge, N. C,
during the early part Of the summer,
reported several .interesting and bene­ficial
facts to members of the council
that might aid local organizations in
solving current problems.
Due to the inability of Howard
Pringle, editor of the handbook, to
attend the meeting, a member of his
committee reported on the progress
made with this new publication. The
book, published by the council, con­sisted
of helpful information for pros­pective
students, a brief account of the
organization and activities of the In­terfraternity
Council, and a brief his­tory
of each fraternity on the cam­pus.
The object of this publication
was to better familiarize new students
with fraternities and fraternity life,
-and to better prepare them for rush­ing
which accompanies the opening
of school. Prior to the opening of
school, about three hundred copies of
the handbook were mailed out to pros­pective
student whose credits had
been mailed in to the registrar's office
and about five hundred more were
given new students in the registration
line. Members of the council intend
to make this an annual publication

Board of the Y. M. C. A. This
board is composed of representatives
of the student body, members of the
faculty, and representatives from the
town of Auburn, who are not connect­ed
with the college. This group is to
serve as an executive board of direc­tors
for the Y. M. C. A., and to have
charge of the activities of the asso­ciation,
however, cooperating with the
student Friendship Council, and the
general secretary in formulating the
Y. M. C. A. policies.
The present board served through­out
the summer as a temporary Y.
M. C. A. Committee, in charge of p ut
ting through the proposed organiza­tional
changes of the association, and
much credit is due them for the pres­ent
improved organization and pro­gram
of the Auburn Y. M. C. A. This

he spent as a student at the Univer­sity
of North Carolina, where he came
to know intimately Dr. W. B. Weath-erford,*
who is one of the most out-standing

STUDENT GOVERNMENT
Three years ago the student body of
this institution felt the need of a student
government. The prevailing sentiment was
culminated in the, formation of an asso­ciation
of undergraduate students, vest­ing
its powers in an Executive Cabinet.
This body, limited as it was, obtained its
power from a constitution, which was
sanctioned by .a popular vote.
Today this plan is a glowing example
of inefficiency, saturated with deception
as to its true functions on the campus. In
three years it has departed completely,
from the intentions of its framers, and has
hopelessely floundered into the oblivion of
utter disregard for any of its actions.
How long can such a farce exist? Will
we long endure a system possessing execu­tive
powers that are flexible enough to be
twisted by inconsistency into the satisfac­tion
of any condition that might arise.
Realizing its lack of power the Cabinet has
busied itself with trivial matters, and has
not assumed the authority entrusted when
the real tests have come.
The Executive Cabinet is a failure! Stu­dents
realize the need of a self govern­ment,
and of effective organization in their
activities. The Plainsman urges that this
folly be cast aside, and a new and com­plete
government be installed immediately.
MOSQUITOES
Auburn is faced with a serious problem
in its fight for healthful living conditions.
One it seems that has been grossly neg­lected
by city and county health authorities.
The town is infested with mosquitoes to an
extent that it has become dangerous to
the entire community's health.
Aside from its more serious aspects the
cutaneous pain caused from the bites of
these insects has made pleasant sleep an
impossibility. It is unthinkable that auth­orities
will allow such a condition to exist,
and it is the duty of students and towns­people
to demand that the situation be
remedied.
Modern methods of fighting this pest
have been developed to an extent that mos­quitoes
can be exterminated within a given
area if the proper campaign is conducted.
It is direct challenge to the health de­partment
of Lee county and to the city of
Auburn.
SPORTS PUBLICITY
The time came for all good sport scribes
to come to the aid of the athletic situation
at Auburn with some much needed publicity;
they came, but strange to relate they came
in the form of the sportive brethren from
Georgia newspapers. With the exception
of one newspaper in our state capitol there
have been practically no stories on the
athletic situation at Auburn published in
the larger newspapers in our native con­fines.
True, we have received unlimited
publicity in respect to our schedule but the
majority of that found its source in the
generosity and loyalty of the State Alumni
Association. News sheets which claim a
place among the greatest in the South have
devoted to one of their own state schools
such an appalling lack of publicity in their
mad scramble for the almighty dollar that
they have totally lost sight of the fact that
in the near future they will turn to grad­uates
of state schools for support in operat­ing
their self-centered publications. Our
fondest wish'is that Auburn's present and
future alumni have keen momories.
No fault can be found in the efforts of
the Publicity Department here in Auburn
to put across a state-wide publicity cam­paign
in behalf of the athletic situation.
At the same time it would be almost impos­sible
for these men to send out reports on
this situation which were entirely free of
prejudices. It would be impossible for them
to send out as an unbiased a story as could
be written by a scribe from a newspaper not
so closely connected with the players and
coaches.
Last week a group of Atlanta sports
writers and photographers descended upon
the Village and returned to their home
office with a large and extensive supply
of Auburn football dope. The results of
this visit was evidenced the following day
in the columns of Ole Timer and Morgan
Blake of the Atlanta Journal who generous­ly
devoted their entire columns to Auburn
football prospects. The undercurrent of
thought contained in the body of their col­umns
could not possibly have been created
by men not entirely in sympathy with our
current athletic problem. For such un­compromising
support to come frmo a "for­eign"
paper should produce a lasting grat­itude
and friendship between the Plains­men
and these papers.
The reaction produced by a total lack
of support from various state newspapers
can be summarized briefly: it produces a
feeling of shame and distrust. Would it
be useless to repeat—the time has come for
all state newspapers to come to the aid
of . . . .
AMBITION
A vast amount of bunk is written nowa­days,
and more of it is talked, about am­bition.
Writers and speakers would have
us understand that every person nowa­days
is fired with ambition, constantly on
his toes watching for means of betterment.
Much is said and written about the lack of
ambition in times gone by. If by am­bition
one means dissatisfaction, then there
is an abundance of it. Everyone wants
a larger income, easier work,- and more
pleasant surroundings. But if by ambi­tion
one means a determination to advance,
a determination to become more efficient,
more useful, more valuable, which in re­turn
will be rewarded by a larger income
and more ease, then the evidence is not
so easy to find. The trouble with the up-lifters
is that they confuse mere desire
with determination. The fact that one
wants something does not mean that he
has the "git up and git" to go after it.

they are only promoting discontent.

Man, unlike other animals, has been en­dowed
with an intellect, or reasoning pow­er,
and it is this intellect that makes him
superior to other animals. But in the
present stage of human evolution reason
is not wholly predominant over the emotions
and instincts. One of these unreasoning
instinctsinstincts impels man to unwarrant­ed
deeds of cruelty and injustice. Why this
desire to hurt our fellow-creatures exists
we do not know. So far, no logical reason
has been advanced to justify the hazing of
freshmen. Hazing is one of Auburn's time-honored
customs, and it has been tolerated
as a necessary practice; however, we are
no longer living in the Victorian Age, and
some of Auburn's traditions are making-the
student body the laughing-stock of intelli­gent
people throughout the South. But we
know that to write about hazing is a waste
of time; to think that reason could abolish
such a he-man practice at Auburn is only
a wild hope that will not be realized in the
present generation.

There has been a
very great expansion
in the students' rooms
or quarters for living
in Auburn during the
past summer. Wittel
Hall, the new dormi­tory,
is furnishing
quarters for about 190
students which did
not exist last year. One new fraternity
house of large and commodious proportions
and one remodeled fraternity house have
increased capacity considerably, probably
in the neighborhood of fifty or sixty stu­dents.
Under these circumstances it ought
to be easy for every student to find com­fortable
quarters at Auburn.

I know how badly we need at Auburn a
Student Union Building and a YMCA
Building. I have been trying to get some­one
interested in these projects ever since
I have been here. I hope some day we may
be able to put it over. A common daily
meeting place with the right social atmos­phere
and good supervision of the social
activities is an urgent need. In the mean­time
we should say this: The public build­ings
on the campus of the Alabama Poly­technic
Institute must be managed and
kept for the purposes for which they were
intended to be used. During the daytime
they are open to those who have business
attending classes, doing laboratory work or
consulting teachers ^or any other activity
within the line of regular duty for any
student or any teacher or other exployee.
They are likewise open to visitors who come
to look about the institution. They are not
open to peddlers ar canvassers of any kind.
They will be open after six o'clock at night
only for those meetings and the transaction
of such business as come within the line of
the approved'work of the institution. Stu­dent
organizations desiring to meet in these
public buildings should make definite ar­rangements
with those in charge of the
buildings so that the building will be look­ed
after, properly opened, lights and heat
provided and the building closed with lights
out at the end of the time of its use. These
buildings are not open for social meetings
of students except by special permission
Our greatest concern is to prevent fire,
damage to buildings and property of the in­stitution
and safeguard this property as
carefully as we can in its orderly use as an
educational institution. i
* * * *
Who represents the real public opinion
of the student body of this institution? We
have many organizations. Here are the
classes, seniors, juniors, sophomores and
freshmen. Here is the Student Under­graduate
Association. Here are fraterni­ties
and the Inter-Fraternity Council. Here
are the "A" Club and the "Ag" Club and
the Engineering Club. Here are the honor
societies and professional societies and
clubs, and here are the student publications,
a very important part of student life.
Where may we look for the real, fine, sin­cere
public sentiment of this student body?
I, for one, feel that this student body is
made up of a portion who are possibly some­what
inclined to be radical in their views, a
portion who are over-conservative, but that,
after all, a great middle group, the very
largest portion of the student body, is that
part which is the real student life of Au­burn.
I think these men do not believe in
carousing. I think they believe in scholar­ship,
I think they believe that the institu­tion
was established here mainly, if not en­tirely,
for the purpose of training young
men and young women to become useful citi­zens.
I think they are sincere, loyal to
athletics but do not believe that athletics is
the principal object of a college career. I,
believe that they have a high regard for
integrity, character, loyalty and kindliness..
I think they are manly, sincere, fine and
trustworthy. It is hard to be sure that
this is the case always. I wonder if any­body
could figure out some way that we
could get the sincere, honest reactions of
this large group? In the end I want to
highly endorse what the editorial column of
this paper has said: The real need at Au­burn
is" for this class of students whom I
have tried to describe to assert its own
leadership, to develop its own leaders. How
may we get together and work out these
problems?
Moderation is the golden rule.; not too
much work, or golf, or night life, or bridge,
or reading, or motoring, or loafing. Let a
man lead a healthful, varied life—which in­cludes
moderate submission to the whims of
wives—and he will probably get as much
productive work out of himself as is human­ly
possible.—Exchange.

RED BREAD. By Maurice Hindus, au­thor
of "Humanity Uprooted" 371 pp.
Jonathan Cape and Harrison Smith, New
York. $3.50.
Here is an authenic and extensive por­trayal
of Russia's gigantic undertaking to
transform herself from a backward agri­cultural
country, into a modern industrial
state.
Those who read "Humanity Uprooted"
know how this skilled writer and observer
can interest his reader in his subject. Calm­ly
and vividly he tells this entertaining
story of Russia's social and industrial revo­lution,
the actual functionings of the Soviet
government's five-year plan, and the prob­lems
and bleak existence of the Russian
peasants. His is not a one-sided story. He
tells of the aims and ambitions.of the men
in command of this historic battle to make
backward Russia a nation of metal, motors,
and tractors; of triumphs achieved, though
at such a stupendous cost that they bother
not with purely human vicissitudes and per­sonal-
tragedies, unless they happen to fit
into the scheme of proletarian supremacy.
What if churches crumble and the thatch-roofed
villages so long rooted in Russian
soil are torn down and the individualistic
family, as the world knows it, is submerged
into the new community? Work construc­tion,
the new machine, are the new dieties.
The peasant grumbles loud and volubly,
but the sentiments and calculations that
actuate a peasant, play no part in the gov­ernment's
incessant drive for speed.
True it is that they have sixty thousand
tractors in operation and propose to have
a hundred thousand by next year. They
have under cultivation as vast an area of
land as have both France and Italy, but
at the cost of everything that is dear to
the heart of a man and in thousands of
cases, life itself.
After traveling over all parts of the Rus­sia
the author has known so well in the
past, his home and haunts, the author asks:
Why this relentless drive of a people who
have never known speed, who are only dis­covering
the machine, and need time to
familiarize, themselves wjth it? Why the
five-year plan in four? Why not in six,
seven, or ten? What nation ever had sought
to achieve so ambitions a program under
such crucial circumstances in so short a
time? \ The promise of tomorrow is too I
vague and uncertain to lighten the gloom
of today. The pride of workmanship wanes;
needless waste, the breakage of machinery,
inability to properly organize time and la­bor
make Russian agricultural production
the highest in Europe.
Those who would know the reality of his­tory
should not miss reading this spectac­ular
and poignant chronicle of the most
overpowering spectacle in the world.

At the age of twenty-three Chan Mather

apart by his affliction. He was on the
downward path until he met the lovely

who restored his interest in life. Rum-run­ning

Millions of human beings in fear of

The rising tide of disgust with the Exe­cutive
Cabinet has been swelled this year
as a result of the futility of their efforts.
Who can doubt that the organization is
a failure? Yet, at the same time few can
contend that the principles upon which it is
founded are not essential to college life.
This laxity of control in student activity
cannot promote the best in student affairs.
No one seems to know where the power is,
or at least few express themselves.
Sure'y a more efficient plan of govern­ment
can be worked out. It is the obliga­tion
of every student to study the constitu­tion
of the Association of Undergraduate
Students, and to see for himself its infinite
fallacies, as a strong functioning govern­ment.
THE CONQUERERS SPEAK
By Charles Bancroft
"We live! we live!" the dead they cry,
"The guns have ceased their firing.
You may not see us marching by,
Or have our dreams inspiring.
But if you knew our battle song,
The faith that keeps us going,
The faith that sends us marching on
It would be worth your knowing.
"We rest, we rest, beyond the light
For greater things are calling;
Ye, too, be brave, fear not the night,
When high ideals are falling.
The broken sheath, the rusted blade,
The standard torn and tattered.
And all the foolish plans we made
That never really mattered.
"We know, we know what life now means,
This is our great adventure;
No self-appointed one may choose
To be his brother's censure.
No kings dictate, no powers we fear,
Our part needs no rehearsal,
For we have reached God's higher plain
Where love is universal."
We read many "poems" to which the crit­icism
hidden in these verses, published by
The Saturday Review of Literature (New
York), applies most pertinently:
IMPECCABLE
BY MELVILLE CANE
Each line ran fleet and flawless,
In perfect pairs, each rhyme;
No vocable, no syllable
But served the general chime.
Each adjective was fitting,
Each fitted noun correct,
Each metaphor and simile
Enriched the proud effect.
One sought in vain the tasteless,
Inept or crude or wrong, •
One could not find the slightest lack
Of art, detect the faintest crack
To extricate the song.

Auburn's fancy stepping halfback,
Lindley Hatfield, is apparently head­ed
toward another great season. The
flashy Tiger ball carrier demonstrat­ed
in the scrimmage Saturday that
he is as elusive as ever, showing his
heels to the Rat tackiers on. several
occasions.
Hatfield is playing his last season
for Auburn and despite the fact that
he has never played on a strong team
the Montgomery boy has become
known as one of the best broken field
artists in the Southern Conference.
Playing with an improved blocking
aggregation this Fall he should have
his best year.
Besides his adeptness at carrying

The resolution adopted by the com­mittee
follows:
"At a meeting of the joint com­mittee

Sept. 12, 1931, it was voted:
" 1 . That no one of the proposals

"2. That, therefore, the interest of
the state and of the institutions will,

the continued operation of the sta­tion
by the institutions through their
presidents as heretofore, supplement­ing
the present income of the station

"3. That the present condition of

SECRET PRACTICE FOR TIGERS
ORDERED BY COACH WYNNE
All Entrances to Drake Field Are Closed t o Spectators for Re­mainder
of Season
By Tad McCallum
Coach Wynne ordered all entrances
to Drake Field closed Monday after­noon
and the Tigers began secret prac­tice
which will continue for the re­mainder
of the season. A similar pro­cedure
was followed last season with
decidedly beneficial results. Coach
Wynne explained that the players
seem better able to concentrate on
their work when the sidelines are not
crowded with spectators and that the
move was made solely for the good of
the team.
The coaches are wording this week
to correct the faults that cropped out
in the first scrimmage of the season
staged last Saturday on Drake Field.
Coach Kiley is stressing defensive
tactics with the line candidates while
Coach Wynne has the backs working
to improve their blocking. The ball
back, raced 70 yards to score for the
longest run of the scrimmage. Jimmy
Hitchcock, Lindley Hatfiled, Casey
Kimbrell, Marion Talley, and Allen
Rogers also came through with neat
individual sprints. Chattie .David­son,
Ike Parker, and Ripper Williams
performed well at the signal barking
post.
Coach Wynne started the follow­ing
eleven against the frosh:
Grant and Ariail, ends: Co-Captain
Bush and Holdcroft, tackles; Molpus
and Wood, guards; McCollum, cen­ter;
Co-Captain Davidson, quarter­back;
Hatfield and Hitchcock, half­backs;
Taljey, fullback. The coach­ing
staff got a line on practically
every member of the varsity squad
as a little over three full teams were
sent into action against the fresh­men.

'Stein Song' Won't Do
For the State of Maine
A loud, mechanically jovial martial
air is the "Stein Song" of the Univer­sity
of Maine. It had become popular
through the efforts of Hubert Prior
("Rudy") Vallee, who, born 30 years
ago .in Island Pond, Vermont, had
gorwn up in Westbrook, Maine, gone
to Yale University, became a croon­er.
The State of Maine has been hunt­ing
an official song. "How about the
'Stein Song'?," asked someone. Re­plied
Chairman Daniel W. Hoegg of
the State of Maine Publicity Bureau
last week: "The 'Stein Song' may help
« ' the University of Maine, but it doesn't
say a thing about Maine as a State.
What we want is a new song to tell
the glories of Maine."

SURVEY MADE OF ACTIVITIES
OF FACULTY DURING SUMMER
(Continued from page 3)
lanta, Ga. Dr. Cary helped to make
Chicago the permanent home of the
American Veterinary Medical Asso­ciation.
He participated also in sta­bilizing
courses of study in the Vet­erinary
Colleges in America.
Dean Zebulon Judd and others of
the School of Education were busy
with both terms of the summer
school, largely a School of Education
project.
After the summer schools, Dean
Judd spent a week in New York and
other points in the East> interviewing
prospective members of the School
of Education faculty for the ensu­ing
year.
Prof. Martin L. Beck spent a por­tion
of the summer in graduate work
in the University of Chicago.
Prof. Gay W. Allen of the depart­ment
of English did graduate work
at the University of Wisconsin, where
he gave special attention to writing
a monograph on "American Criticism
of Poe since the Poe Centenary."
Dr. Chas. P. Weaver was in Au­burn
on the summer school faculty.
Later in August he and Mrs. Weaver
spent their vacation in the mountains
of North Caroling.
Dr. George Petrie was in Auburn
most of the summer doing one thing
after another of the many duties per­formed
by him.
On August 17 Professor Eugene D
Hess of the English Department of
Alabama Polytechnic Institute and
Miss Bertha Reid were married at
Cedar Rapids, Iowa. They are now
at home at 446 Gay Street, Auburn.
Mrs. Reid. is a graduate of the

Aeronautical Classes
Show Marked Increase
The growth in enrollment in the
four classes of the aeronautical course
this year has made necessary the ad­dition
of a new member to the teach­ing
staff, according to Lieutenant Vol-ney
C. Finch, head professor of aero­nautical
engineering. Ensign Victor
W. Randecker, the instructor, is a
transport pilot and has been on active
duty this summer as a flight instruc­tor
at the Great Lakes Naval Air
Station i a Chicago.
The course in aeronautical engi­neering
was established in May, 1930,
by the Board of Trustees, and the
total enrollment last year was 88.
While enrollment figures have not
been announced for this year, it is
certain that the number this year will
surpass that of last.
A special ground instruction is also
given which aims at giving prospec­tive
pilot's information on navigation
meteorology, air commerce regula­tions,
and allied subjects. This course
also includes actual work on airplane
engines in the laboratory where at
present there are two airplanes and
eight airplane engines. There were
46 enrolled in this course in. the past
year.

Extension Department
Publishes Arithmetic
FOR use in schools and homes in
Alabama the Extension Service of the
Alabama Polytechnic Institute has
published an agricultural arithmetic.
The exact title of it is "Agricultural
Mathematics." It is a 72 page bulle­tin
filled with.practical mathematical
problems about agriculture. The prob-lems
were written with a view to
teaching both agriculture and mathe­matics.
The bulletin contains introductory
messages by Dr. A. F. Harman, State
Superintendent of Education, Mont­gomery,
President Bradford Knapp
and L. N. Duncan, director of the
extension service. %
J. T. High, district agent, promot­ed
the bulletin.
In his introduction Mr. Duncan
said that "It is the earnest "desire of
the Extension Service to make avail­able
to the rural boys and girls of
Alabama the very important and
fundamental facts contained in this
publication." ,
Requests for copies are being re­ceived
from schools and also from in­dividuals.
County fan* and home

RECEPTION OF TOURISTS
(Continued from page 1)
Particulars of a proposed air tour
of Alabama was presented by Mr.
Wilkinson of the Birmingham Cham­ber
of Commerce. It is planned for
a fleet of 18 planes carrying a num­ber
of prominent Alabamians and
stunt fliers to visit a large number
of towns in the state. At each town a
flying exhibition and other ceremonies
will be staged. Whether or not the
local club will participate by having a
representative make the tour has not
yet been decided.
Eighteen years ago ten young mar­ried
couples met to read papers on
literary subjects. They have been
meeting .ever since.
Everybody admits that the papers
are a bore, but the dinners are good

the gossip. After a proper interval,
following the paper, some woman
says, "Have you heard about the
Goodbodys?" That heralds the begin­ning
of a delightful session.

Professor Hess was educated at the
Iowa State University and taught at
the Kirksville State Teachers College
and at the Louisiana State Univer­sity
before coming to Auburn.
Before coming to Auburn Profes­sor
and Mrs. Hess spent 10 days in
the mountains near Boulder, Colo­rado.
Professor W. N. Arnquist went to
the-Pacific Coast during the summer.
He spent three weeks as a student
at the California Institute of Tech­nology
at Pasadena, where he at­tended
the summer meeting of the
American Association -for the Ad­vancement
of Science. From there
he went up the coast to Tacoma,
Washington, where he visited with
relatives before returning to Auburn
for the second summer term.
Professor Arnquist said that edu­cational
institutions where he visit­ed
are experiencing much difficulty
in 'placing their graduates.
Harry Hamilton,. former professor
of the-English Department, is rapid­ly
making a name in the dramatic
world. The following is taken from
the Montgomery Advertiser.
"So many excellent plays have been
shown recently in the movie houses in
Montgomery, that society has rather
neglected bridge and other diversions
for the theater. Several large theater
parties were given on Tuesday even­ing
at the Paramount by the Army
set, to see Claudette Colbert in her
second secretarial role. The story, an
original by Charles Bracklett, tells of
the experiences of a wealthy New
York society woman and is just the
smart, sophisticated role in which she
is ^nost popular.
. "Local interest is more pronounced
in any appearance on the screen of
Miss Colbert and her husband, Nor­man
Foster, by reason of the close
friendship which exists between them
and Harry Hamilton, formerly direc­tor
of Montgomery Little Theater.
"Mr. Hamilton has spent the Sum­mer
with them in their home on Vine
Street, in Hollywood, which by the
way, is just two doors from Ronald
Colman's home.
"Mr. Hamilton and Mr. Foster have
for years colloborated in the writing
of plays.
"Just within the past few weeks has
announcement been made that their
negro play, "Savage Rhythm,"*has
been accepted by John Golden, and
that it will soon go into rehearsal, for
production at the John Golden Theater
in«New York.
"The two collaborators have anoth­er
play in process of taking form and
it was for this reason-that Mr. Ham­ilton
found it impossible to return to
Montgomery to again direct this Win­ter
the Little Theatre."

student organizations on the campus,
but that the success of the whole
program depended on the coopera­tion'
given the Players by the Au­burn
student body. It is the present
plan of the organization to send the
best of the three one-act plays se­lected
for presentation, on a road
trip, and for this reason Professor
Peet stated that he was particularly
anxious for a.large number of stu­dents
to try out.
The three plays under considera­tion
are, "The Red Carnation,"
"Fixins" and "The Man Who Died
at 12:00". These plays have been
placed on the reserve shelf at the
library, and all students interested
will have a chance to pick out the
part that they wish to try for. •
Students who are interested in
play production from the standpoint
of the stage manager and assistant
director should get in touch with
Professor Peet at the earliest pos­sible
date because several such stu­dents
are needed before the present
The majority of the Georgia Tech
Naval R. O. T. C. students who
cruised to Halifax, Nova Scotia,
aboard the U. S. S. Arkansas as a
part of their naval tactics course,
returned to Atlanta Monday. The
Arkansas with several hundred stu­dent
officers from Yale, Harvard and
Northwestern Universities and the
Georgia School of Technology, an­chored
off Norfolk Saturday. The
Tech and Northwestern units were
embarked there, the vessel sailing at
one minute past mid-night Sunday
for Boston to discharge the Yale
and Harvard students. Tech stu­dents
won over the otehrs in gun
firing.
On the return trip from Halifax
the student officers had their first
experience with three, five and twel­ve-
inch guns in target practice. A
seven-foot target was constructed on
a raft and set afloat. Student offi­cers
navigated the ship, which spent
a day in circling around the target
for the gun practice. Despite the
fact that none.of the Tech students
had any previous experience with the
large guns, they won the day's com­petitive
practice, leading the other
three units. By winning with the
three and twelve-inch guns,- Tech
took the day's score, the practice
standing Tech first, Northwestern,
Northwestern, second; Harvard, third
and Yale, fourth. Tech's victory
over Northwestern was gained by a
good twenty points, while besting the
firing record of Yale by fifty-two
points? All maneuvers were conduct­ed
under close supervision of the
regular ship's officers, but the stu­dents
followed their own calcula­tions.
All four units made satisfac­tory
scores- according to the ship's
officers.
"Man Overboard" drills were prac­ticed
on the return trip, as well as
on the way to Halifax, with Tech's
men again leading the other three
units in the time, of lowering boats
and "rescuing" the dummy thrown in­to
the sea representing a drowing
man.
