Enrollment in Summer Session
And Extension Teaching Are
Not Included
A total enrollment of 2,000 students
for the 1931-32 session is foreseen by
President Bradford Knapp, according
to a statement issued Friday. The
enrollment to date is 1,877 students
as compared to 1,792 on the same date
a year ago. The total enrollment for
the last regular session was .1,927. On
a basis of these figures, Dr. Knapp
concluded that total enrollment this
year will exceed 2,000.
', The enrollment in summer school,
extension teaching, agricultural and
home economics extension work, and
short courses' is not included in these
figures, which are confined strictly
to those in the regular session from
September until May, Dr. Knapp said.
"There are 10 less freshmen this
year than last," Dr. Knapp continued,
"but there are 41 more sophomores,
2 more juniors, 23 more seniors, and
21 more graduate students. In the
1877 names there are 561 freshmen,
487 sophomores, 378 juniors, 357 seniors
and 5th year students, 82 graduate
students, and 12 special students.
The total number of engineering student's,
including all branches of Engineering,
is 951 students. Increases
are shown in regular courses in agriculture,
aeronautical engineering,
commercial art, landscape architecture,
textile engineering, school of
science and literature, chemistry and
pharm:Jcy, home economics and in
veterinary medicine. There have been
slight decreases in some lines of work
compensated for by increases in
others." ^

Collision Thursday
Condition of two Auburn students
injured in motorcycle-truck accident
in Opelika Thursday evening was improved
Friday morning save for
the possibility of internal injuries
for Joe D. Quinlivan of Mobile. Injuries
of W. H. McDaniel of Prattville
were minor and he will leave the hospital
in a day or two, said Dr. B. F.
Thomas, college surgeon.
Quinlivan received a severe cut on
the face. It was impossible to determine
Friday morning to what extent
he was injured internally.
Both students were returning to
Auburn early Thursday evening by
motorcycle when their machine collided
with a truck. Both were rendered
unconscious and the motorcycle was
demolished.

The Auburn-Tech game in Atlanta
Saturday will not be broadcast by
Station WAPI, or by any other radio
station. This was announced today
by P. O. Davis, general manager of
WAPI.
It was explained by Mr. Davis that
the station would like to broadcast
the game but that broadcasting is
prohibited by agreement of the athletic
authorities of the two institutions.
This being the case WAPI
will broadcast either the Vandy-Tu-lane
game or an eastern game.
A marker for air travellers has
been painted on the roof of the
Toomer building, College Street and
Magnolia Avenue, by the John H.
Wills Post of the American Legion.
The word "Auburn" in white letters
15 feet long and three feet wide
and a large arrow indicating north
makes a sign that is easily visible
from the air, said Captain E. S. Ott,
commander of the Legion.
Much favorable comment has been
directed at the organization for sponsoring
the movement, and Captain
Ott added that posts all over the nation
are engaging in similar actions.
Plans for the annual observance
of Armistice Day will be made at
a meeting to be held Monday November
9, and the post commander
asked that all Legion members make
arrangements to attend this meeting.

Battle of Yorktown Sesqui-centennial
Celebration
The largest and peppiest mass meeting
in many years, in the form of a
mammoth pajama parade was staged
last night preparatory to the Georgia
Tech game tomorrow.
Starting from Langdon Hall the
crowd of enthusiastic students, clad in
multi-colored and multi-styled pajamas,
filed through the streets. Led
by the band the mass pushed on down
College street to Glenn Avenue then
started the triumphant return to
Langdon Hall. The old war cry, that
has gone with many Auburn teams
to Atlanta, of "Wreck Tech" rang in
'unison from the lips of the excited
throng.
On their return to Langdon Hall
the cheering students reached the
heights of tension. Speeches, cheers,
a riotous demonstration, and then the
band broke into the strains of the
new victory song.
The excitement had not subsided
this morning and from all indications
the Gate City will be invaded tomorrow
with a student body, giving expression
to twelve years of pent up
emotions.
Accompanied by the band, the student
body, townspeople, and supporters
will leave on a special train at
7:30 o'clock in the morning and are
scheduled to arrive in Atlanta at
10:45.
One of the features of last evening
was a speech from a member of the
last Auburn team to defeat Ga. Tech.
"Gump" Wood, whose abilities were

Team Ready To Avenge Defeats
Of Many Years; Odds
Are On Tigers
SQUAD IN GOOD SHAPE
Realizing Strength Of Tech,
Team Is Not Over Confident;
Passing Attack Feared
By Tad McCallum
Favored to win over the Yellow
Jackets of Georgia Tech for the first
time in twelve years, the Auburn
Tigers, 39 strong, left Auburn at noon
Friday. A light workout was held
upon the arrival of the squad in Atlanta.
The brilliant showing of the Plainsmen
against the heavy Wiscosin team
last Saturday has made them a favorite
in the pre-game predictions but
there is no over-confidence in the Auburn
squad. The Tigers have been
taking trimmings regularly from the
Golden Tornado since 1919 and the
individual members of the team realize
that they have a gigantic task on
their hands in attempting to turn back
Coach Alexander's rampaging sophs.
Coach Wynne announced Thursday
night that he planned to start the
same outfit that took the field against
Wisconsin last Saturday. They line
up as follows: Grant, left end; McCollum,
left tackle; Chambless, left
guard; Jordan, center; Molpus, right
guard; Bush, right tackle; Ariail,
right end. Davidson, quarterback,
Phipps, left half; Hitchcock, right
half; Brown, fullback. The entire
Auburn squad was taken to Atlanta.
The loss of Casey Kimbrell, flashy
sophomore halfback, detracts from the
reserve power considerably. Kimbrell
is suffering with an abscessed neck
and will be unable to don a uniform
for the tilt. He had been groomed to
understudy Jimmy Hitchcock at the
right halfback position, and in case
the latter is forced from the game
Kimbrell's absence will be keenly felt.
The game will mark Auburn's debut
into Southern Conference circles
this season. Tech has already met and
defeated one Conference foe, South
Carolina, ' i n this tilt the Engineers
demonstrated that they have a powerful
aggregation when once aroused
and they defeated the Oamecocks
through sheer fight as much as anything
else.
There will be no championships in-volvel
but the contest promises to be
a typical Auburn-Tech battle with the
teams apparently evenly matched.
Both outfits possess a number of brilliant
backs and the spectators who fill
the Grant Filed stands Saturday are
assured of a thrilling afternoon.
The Auburn Band of 75 pieces and
almost every student, faculty member,
and resident of Auburn will be
present at the game tomorrow.

RAILROAD OFFCIALS AND
METHODS
It was learned yesterday from the office
of the president that a letter had been received
from the District Passenger Agent
of the Illinois Central Railroad. This letter
was written by Mr. J. A. Linton, whose offices
are located in Birmingham and who
made the trip to Madison with the team.
In his letter there could be found nothing
but praise for the manner in which the entire
squad conducted themselves on the trip
which they made over the Illinois Central
system. Such praise, from those who are
under no obligation to praise, is to be appreciated
to the fullest extent. It is indeed
a complimentary reflection on the entire
institution. This conduct should set an example
for the entire student body to follow.
We could almost say that they have
set a precedent for the students.
Perhaps a great deal of the unbecoming
conduct which has been attributed to Auburn
in the past could be laid to certain
minor officials of the Western of Alabama
Railroad whose delegated authority is greatly
overshadowed by their feelings of regal
power. Such men can incite youths to far
greater wantoness than they would practice
under ordinary circumstances. An attitude
of impending and righteous justice
which has been shown in open prejudices on
numerous occasions has not been passively
accepted in the past, and the chances are,
will not be accepted in the future. If these
are students who would willfully destroy
property on the railroad on which they are
passengers, then we highly recommend
punishment. We also suggest that the
Western of Alabama take steps to send a
more congenial group of their system's police
force on special trains run out of Auburn
in the future.
RAILROAD OFFICIAL IMPRESSED
In further tribute to the Auburn football
team, the following letter has been
received' by President Knapp from the
District Passenger of the Illinois Central
System.
ILLINOIS CENTRAL SYSTEM
Passenger Department
Birmingham, Alabama
October 12, 1931
Mr. Bradford Knapp, President
Alabama Polytechnic Institute
Auburn, Alabama
Dear Dr. Knapp:
It was my privilege and pleasure to
acompany your football team on their
recent trip to Madison, Wis., for the
game with Wisconsin University, in
charge of transportation for the carriers.
I have accompanied many football
•teams, but can say to you without hesitancy,
that I have never traveled with
a finer and better behaved crowd of
boys than on this trip. The conducted
themselves as gentlemen both on
and off the field. I heard many fine
compliments from transportation men
enroute that this was as fine a bunch
of boys as they had ever handled. I
feel that all of this is a compliment
to your school, the coaches, and student
body.'
It was a great pleasure to have the
team use our line and I can assure
you that nothing transpired on this
trip that would in any way cast a
reflestion on your great institution.
You are familiar with the results
of the contest, and the outcome is
something to be proud of, more especially
to thoes who had the privilege
of seeing the game, with apparently
everything in favor of the opposing
team.
I may be assuming in writing you
in this way, but it is the way I feel
about it and thought perhaps you
would be glad to know of the fine impression
the boys made to one on the
outside of your school.
Very truly yours,
J. O. Linton,
District Passenger Agent
STUDENT DIRECTORY
The Registrar's office has completed the
third edition of the directory of the administrative
staff, faculty, and students.
The first edition of this directory was compiled
three years ago as an experiment.
It was mef with so much approval that
the Registrar's office determined to make
it an annual publication. Now the booklet
holds an important place among both
the faculty and students. The publishers
have endeavored to make this edition complete
in every detail.
Both the students and faculty will find
many opportunities that will prove the
need and worth of the directory, and the
Registrar's office is to be congratulated
for its work in compiling the figures and
data used in the directory. The utility of
the booklet cannot be limited. It serves
us in innumerable instances.
Prexy's Paragraphs
By Bradford Knapp
Five Years Ago
As Recorded in the Pages of The Plainsman.
An open house reception was held at the
Kappa Phi fraternity house between the
hours of three thirty and five thirty on
Wednesday afternoon, October 20. The occasion
for the get-together was celebration
of the fifth anniversary of this fraternity
on the campus.
* * * *
Villagers of the Plains, officially known
as Auburn, seat of the Alabama Polytechnic
Institute, were startled beyond measure at
the appearance Saturday of a group of
men in khaki, or better in half khaki. It
was a strange looking group indeed. Each
man wore the regulation cap and .coat of
the United States Army and was lavishly
decorated with service stripes and military
medals. A part of the uniform was missing
for the boys were in bathing suits and
without pants. It was revealed later in
the afternoon that this was the initiation
into Scabbard and Blade, national honorary
society of the Reserve Officers Training
Corps. \,
* * * *
Somewhat' encouraged by the drubbing
they administered the Tulane Greenies, and
fired by the loyal support of the local student
body, the Auburn Tigers, thirty strong,
and accompanied by the general mentor of
the plains, "King" David Morey, entrained
last night for the second invasion of the
capitol city. The Plainsmen go to renew
hostilities with the Sewanee Tigers after a
period of fifteen years during which the
two teams have not met on the gridiron.
SONNET FOR DOROTHY
Sweeter your laugh than trill of lark at
dawn.
As marble richly gleams, so shines your
throat.
The grace of you would shame the pale
young fawn;
Rather than walk, like silken down you
float.
Lighter your touch than fall of April rain;
Cooler your cheek than petal washed
with dew.
Whene're you speak, all gladness and all
pain
Speak also, in the throbing voice of you.
Like blossom on its stem is poised your
head,
Wrapped closely round with fragrant
bands.
As roses' passionate hearts, your mouth is
red;
Like lilies in the wind, your long white
hands.
i
Brighter the glance of you than summer
star;
But, Dearest Heart, how awf'ly dumb you
are!
Quotations
This agitation to get the vote out is the
most indisious thing I've ever heard. There
really should be an effort to divert people's
attention from the polls.—Professor Raymond
Moley.
Fear of nature as an instrument of divine
wrath has given way to a new fear—that
of the complex mechanism of modern life.
—Dr. L. P. Lockhart.
Shun snobbery; do not feel superior to
persons who have not attended college.1—
Dean Hawkes of Columbia.
I know everything except myself.—Francois
Villon.
On to Tech! This
ought to be the battle
cry. Our great team
of courageous fellows
is going up to Tech
on Saturday under
difficult c i r c u m stances,
It is pretty
hard to expect a team
to play at top speed,
and especially to play better than anyone
expects, two Saturdays in succession. Tech
has a hard fighting team. From the newspaper
acounts evidently they are worried
about Saturday's game and, believe me,
they are getting ready for it. The same
courage, the same team work, the same
undaunted spirit shown ^by the team . at
Madison will go far toward winning the
game. The whole world is going to be
there and I hope Auburn makes a big
showing. I am sure not only the fourteen
heroes who were referred to in the papers
as the "Iron men from Auburn", but I
am sure there were some fellows on the
bench who would have given thier very
souls to have played and who will give a
good account of themselves if they are
called on in the Tech game. Every man
who did not get a chance in Madison has
a wonderful example to measure up to.
He must do better than his best if he is
going to stay with the rest of this team
and I fully believe there are some of them
who have it in them to give full measure
of devotion.
Among many words of praise for the
team have been statements from those who
west with the team to Madison. Two very
beautiful letters praised the fine conluct
of these boys who represented Auburn.
I wish I had room to quote the whole letter
from that great old Auburn booster,
Charles F. DeBardeleben, of Birmingham
who went with the team. I am going to
quote this much from his letter: "I have
never seen a squad of college boys conduct
themselves in such gentlemanly manner
and I am sure everyone who came in contact
with them couldn't keep from being
impressed with the boys and the college
they represent. There wasn't a moment
during the entire trip that I wasn't proud
of them and the college which they represented.
I also fell in love with both
coaches. They are pleasant fellows and
have only one thought in their minds—
the success of the football team and the
college." We had many other fine things
about these boys who represented us. Mr.
J. O. Linton, District Passenger Agent of
the Illinois Central System, wrote me a
letter complimenting the conduct of this
team. Among other things he said: "I
have accompanied many football teams,'
but can say to you without hesitancy, that
I have never traveled" with a finer and
better behaved crowd of boys than on this
trip. They conducted themselves as gentlemen
both on and off the field. I heard
many fine compliments from transportation
men enroute that this was as fine a
bunch of boys as they had ever handled.
I feel that all ofthis is a compliment to
your school, the coaches, and student
body."
When these things are said about us and
about our team we must make a showing
both on and off the field,, on the train
going up and coming back on Saturday
which will measure up to the high standard
which this heroic group has set for the
rest of us. You can all see what a wonderful
thing it is for a college to set that
kind of an example. The admiration which
these men have for the conduct of our
team is worth a great deal to this institution.
I hope we will add to this splendid
reputation on Saturday.
* * * *
Somebody put another advertising sign
on a great and beautiful tree on our cant
put the other day.I could not help but
thing of that beautiful poem written by
Joyce Kilmer where he says "Poems are
written by fools like me but only God can
make a tree." These trees on the campus
are beautiful and we are trying to take
care of them. There are trees on this
campus many, many years old. I wish we
could learn to keep our advertising signs
off from them. If you need to put an
advertising sign near the front of Lang-don
Hall, I will be glad to get a board
and fix it up on two standards so that you
can put the sign up and save the tree.
It looks incongruous to see an advertising
sign tacked on a beautiful tree.

Dr. W. D. Weatherford, President of the
Y.M.C.A. College at Nashville, Tennessee,
is to speak next week a number of times
at this institution. I kave known of his
wonderful work for the moral, spiritual,
Christian development of college students.
I want you all to go and hear him. I am
sure he will say things which will provoke
your deepest thought and arouse in you
the finest of ideals.

WITH OTHER COLLEGES
Ain't that the way it goes? Here we
tell you all about an occurrence last week
at the Colorado School of Mines that we
thought was rather unusual; and the next
issue of the "Oredigger", the college newspaper,
avers that it was all a misunderstanding—
not on our part but on the part
of the paper in making its naughty, naughty
assertions about the owner of the town's
only theatre. Last week, the paper berated
the theatre for not running advertisements
as every other establishment in the
town was doing. This week the theatre
has an ad in the paper. Last week it was
stated that the Blue Key fraternity had
received a bill for ten dollars from the
theatre owner for damage done when the
fraternity sloshed white-wash about the
town; but now no bill can be found and
no member of the fraternity can produce
one. Last week the paper accused the
theatre owner of procuring a bad picture
for Freshman night when all Freshmen are
given free admission to the show; and it
develops that the- picture was booked
months before the date for the entertainment
was set. "Why there should have
been a misunderstanding this year is . . .
difficult to. explain," says the paper. But
is it? It is evident that the editor allowed
a rumor which turned out to be without
foundation to be published as news. The
error may have been beneficial in this
case because it may have spiked rumors
about the theatre's attitude that might
easily have resulted in students shunning
the picture house—which, incidentally, is
what the "Oredigger" was sponsoring last
week. Ninety-three times out of a hundred
the consequences would have been far
different. _

An easy way to get money without working
is to be on the dance committee—or
at least it WAS an easy way. It is charged
by the president of the Interfraternity
Council at Tech that the dance committees
have made it a general practice in the
past to announce that expensive, nationally-
known orchestras have been secured for
certain dances, sell tickets at high prices,
and then substitute lesser known orchestras
without announcement or refuund.
Because the dance committee does not
have to make a public financial report,
this plan worked for several of the big
dances with no one suspecting that the
money thus saved was being appropriated
by members of the dance committee.
"It's plain and simple graft and it's
got to stop this year," avowed the president
of the Interfrat Council last week,
as he made public a new plan for "eliminating
dance graft". This reform provides
that the president, vice-president, secretary,
and treasurer of the council be members
of the dance committee; and that all
dance contracts be subject to the dean's
approval.

Engineering students at the Colorado
Agricultural College want to change the
name of the college to that of Colorado
State College. A petition has been drawn
up for presentation to the State legislature
by the college branch of the A. S. M. E.
and is now being circulated. Several advantages
of the change are listed. Not
only will the change in name be beneficial
to young job-seeking engineers, it is stated,
but every other part of the college which
is not a part of the Agricultural department
will be distinctly benefitted, while
the Ags will not be in any way harmed.
Looks sensible to' us! Happily Auburn
has a good name for Ags and Engineers
alike.

The editor of the Oglethorpe Stormy
Petrel offers a decalogue for freshmen
which wouldn't be at all healthy for Auburn
Rats to follow. Some will be found
quite useful, however.
1. Don't smoke cigarettes. Upper-classment
will keep you broke buying
them.
2. Don't tip your rat caps to sophomores.
Familiarity breeds contempt.
3. Don't go in the pool immediately
after a meal. It is dangerous. The
pool has no water in it.
4. When an upperclassman says
he'll beat you to a jelly, be nonchal-lant.
Ask him what flavor.
5. If you are Scotch, don't date a
co-ed whp lives on Piedmont road.
It's too expensive. (Note': You may
substitute the name of some, other
street if you wish.)
6. Don't play checkers with upper-classmen,
because they will trim you.
Remember, they have been at Oglethorpe
longer than you have, and
know more.
7. Be careful what you pick up in
town. Blondes and cigarette stubs
will burn you alike.
8. March through the dormitory
halls in squads of at least fifty each.
In union there is strength.
9. Never invite a co-ed to go to the
Petrel Shop with you. She will take
you up.
10. Whatever you do, keep your
eyes open around here, people will
think you are a fool if you keep them
shut.

After the developments at the vigilance
committee meeting Monday night, Conscientious
Cletus wishes to take back every complimentary
statement made through the medium
of this column, regarding this committee.
Complimenting a group of so called
defenders of the Auburn spirit, that as
a whole has a distorted view of the real
meaning of an education, and a mistaken
idea of what constitutes real progress, is
more than can be expected of any person
who does not lead a mere passive existence.
If the student who painted the "35" on the
water tank several weeks ago needed any
punishment at all, he certainly did not need
physical punishment to the extent that he
was forced to stay in bed several days.
If, by a vote of the student body, Auburn
formed a vigilance committee and organized
a means of regulating its activities, then
nothing could be said in criticism as long
as the committee operated according to its
perscribed laws. If a vigilance committee
was organized by a body representing, by
election, the entire student body, then nothing
could be said regarding the validity of
its organization. However, until one of
these two cases is put into practice the Auburn
student body should rebel against the
assumed authority of a certain group on
the campus to formulate student opinion.
The Freshman class is larger than the
"A" Club, and, in view of the fact that the
vigilance committee is not an official organization,
and also in view of the fact
that its members seem to have no consideration
of how/far to take things, the whole
Freshman class should refuse to report to
any summons sent out by this committee.
By "official" I mean that the vigilance
committee does not have the support of a
majority of the Auburn student body, and
I challenge any one who doubts this statement
to take it to the polls and find out.
* * * *
The following paragraphs, written by a
student at Texas Woman's College, show
an excellent picture of the activities of many
Auburn students, and her solution to a
common college problem should prove valuable.
"It was my Junior year in college while
I was rushing to classes, rushing to meetings,
rushings to meals, and rushing
through classes that a question appeared on
the horizon of my little world asking,
'Where are you going?' I didn't stop to
listen because I was too satisfied with my
standing on the campus—too content in the
thought of the far-reaching influence that
my life was exerting. I was always busy,
too busy to spend much time with my
friends, but my hurry was glorified—many
spoke of the unselfish way in which I gave
myself to people, and I actually believed
them.
"In my Junior year one of my teachers
who really cared for me kept asking the
question 'What kind of a person do you
want to be ten years from now?' I began
noticing that the people in whom I found
something deep "and splendid seemed to be
those people who are trying to do one or
two things well. Certain statements be^an
to take on new significance; I remember
particularly a line from Tagore which said:
'Why go through life like a child who turns
the pages of a book and believes that he is
reading?'
Should I go to all the organizations that
I was a part of any say, 'I am quitting—
I am sick of all this'. Should I acknowledge
that I sat in stupid meetings bored, tired,
and longing to be out of doors playing tennis,
or reading, or hiking or studying my
chemistry assignment? Should I reveal
that I had made a mess of things the first
"two and one-half years of my collegiate
life, and because of it I would participate in
no extra-curricular activities during my
Senior year? It took me about eight months
to decide some of these questions. It meant
a re-evaluation of the time that I was
spending on a campus in an effort to be
worthy of the name student. I call this
evaluation the budgeting of time. It was
not the putting on paper the one hundred
things that I would do each day—it was
not merely a written reminder of the committee
meeting at seven-thirty, another at
one, the club meeting at five, and the pledge
meeting at eight, at which time we were
to clean up the house. I said that I must
read intelligently one hour each day if college
was going to mean a deepening of life
for me. Time for real study was included,
moments for quiet were allowed for, and
every week was to have a few hours in
which I could come to know better some of
the people on the campus whom I wanted
to know."
I'm afraid there's no charter which could
be devised by the wit of man which would
prevent a fool and his money being parted.
—Stanley Baldwin.

MANY CONGRATULATIONS GIVEN
TIGERS FOR WISCONSIN GAME
Words of Praise Continue To Pour in To Wynne and Squad;
Crimson-White, U. of Alabama Publication, Extends Congratulatory
Expressions
The echoes of Auburn's wonderful
showing in Madison have not yet
died away. Congratulations to Coach
Wynne and his squad of heroes continue
to pour in and the entire Southland
seems to be proud of the fighting
Tigers.
The Plainsman acknowledges with
gratitude the following comments
from the Crimson-White, semi-weekly
publication of the University of
Alabama:
"Good old Auburn, hounded, harassed,
mutilated through five seasons
of constant gridiron catastrophes,
came back with startling suddenness
up in Wisconsin, tying the great Badger
machine 7-7, to furnish the greatest
thrill of any team from below
the Mason-Dixon line. Using only
fourteen football players, employing
not a single substitution in the forward
wall, Auburn battled their way
to moral victory over a constant
string of reenforcements. Our congratulations,
Tiger—Carry on!"
Auburn-Wisconsin
"A band of inspired Plainsmen
fought gallantly against a much
heavier Wisconsin combine, emerging
from the fray with a moral victory
in a 7-7 tie. The game was
played in a driving rain, and were
it a dry field instead, Auburn might
have won. The Plainsmen turned
their heavier foe inside out, absorbing
everything thrust at them. The
Tigers played as a unit, only two substitutions

Wynne. The starting line remained
intact and came out dragging and
weary but game to the core.
A temporary letdown by the Tigers
cost them a probable victory when
Joey Linfor took the kickoff at the
start of the second half and ran 95
yards for the lone Badger touchdown.
But the Tigers refused to give up,
and started a touchdown march of
their own. Phipps and Hitchcock
engineered the attack from Wisconsin's
36-yard line, the latter taking a
pass to the 15 yard stripe from where
the score was made on a flat pass
over tackle, a delayed buck and then
an off-tackle smash by Hitchcock.
Auburn is to be congratulated on her
fighting spirit, and for holding up
the prestige of the South in football.
Womans Club Holds
Its Annual Luncheon
The annual luncheon of The Women's
Club, of Auburn, was held in
the Baptist Church, Thursday, October
10. An address of welcome was
delivered by the club president, Mrs.
B. R. Showalter and the opening
prayer was offered by Mrs. Bradford
Knapp. Short talks were made by
the officers of the club, secretaries
of the departments and chairmen of
the various committees. Two vocal
selections were rendered by Mrs. N.
B. Wilson, accompanied on the piano
by Mrs. E. C. Hazel.
Place cards were used in the form
of year books which contained the
programs of the departments, general
information and names of all members.
The entire club is looking forward
to an active year in all branches
of their program. r D R I NK n

W. D. WEATHERFORD
WILL GIVE SERIES OF
LECTURES AT AUBURN
Dr. W. D. Weatherford, President
of the Y. M. C. A. Graduate School,
Nashville, Tennessee, will be in Auburn
for a series of lectures and personal
conferences Oct. 21, 22, and 23.
For the past twenty years this outstanding
religious leader and author
has included Auburn in his tour of
Southern Colleges and Universities.
He is devoting his life to the problems
of college men. Reviewing the
notes of the Auburn Christian Association
of a decade ago, the following
testimonies entitled, "What Auburn
Thinks of Dr. Weatherford"
were found.
"One of the most instructive and
interesting speakers I have heard or
met."—L. Newman, Senior Class
Orator.
"The visit of Dr. Weatherford was
one of real fundamental value to
every college student. His lectures
are to the point and full of informa
tion for the meeting of college problems.
The personal interview on in
dividual life work was a great help
to many."—L. M. Hollingsworth, Sec
Class '22.
"Dr. Weatherford is the most
forceful speaker along his line1 that
I have ever heard. After atending
a series of his lectures one connot
but resolve to live a better life."—
Crawford A. Rose, Captain of Track
and Bus. Mgr. of "Orange and Blue".
Dr. Weatherford has recently conducted
a series of lectures at the
University of Georgia where his lectures
on "The Place of Religion in
College Life" received a great deal
of favorable criticism from the press
and the student body.
Each afternoon Dr. Weatherford
will be free for personal conferences
with students, faculty, and others desiring
to talk with him. He is an
experienced counsellor and has helped
many college men determine their
life work.
British Biologist
Says, "Fall in Love >>
London—(IP)—"Fall in love," is
the best possible advice to youth,
according to Sir J. Arthur Thomson,
famous British biologist, now 70
years of age.
"If I were to give my advice, I
would say to - young people—fall
in love," he declared. "To the middle
aged—Avoid bad debts. They
are payable in old age and they are
not pleasant.
"To the aged, I would say: Get
young again. John the society of
the Old and Bold."
Falling in love, Sir Arthur declared,
is really "rising in love." This
chapter of life has more possibilities
of uplift than any other, he thinks.
"It is a pity that so much emphasis
is laid on the physiological and so
little on the psychological side of
youth," he asserted. "Love is one
of the two or three greatest opportunities
of life.
"What is love? It has three notes
which Browning said made not a
sound but a choi-d. They are:
"Physical fondness, which is indis-pensible.
"Emotional attraction linked to
the purely physical attraction through
the appeal of duty and strength'.
"The note often missed altogether
of higher sympathies in intelligence,
purpose, and ideals which mean decency
and good living.
"The is a great tendency to make
a scapegoat of sex. The trouble is
that youth is so miseducated. The
fact is that youth has so few big
interests and has to strive after higher
values.
"The safeguard is to fall in love."

New Haven, Conn.— (IP)—The
Yale Daily News has editorially asked
the university to take on another

"You can live better at the

Auburn High football squad has
put in some hard work this week in
preparation for the game with Lang-dale
here today. This game will be
hard fought as Auburn will put every
ounce of fight they have into it to
avenge the defeat handed them last
year by this team.
Coach DuBose was well pleased
with the showing of his team last
Friday, but there were a few mistakes
that he ironed out in this
week's practice. He was especially
pleased with the charging of the Auburn
line on the defense and the
blocking of the team in general.
Yesterday's workout was very light
with skull practice, punting and passing
occupying most of the time.
Two backfields practiced shifting almost
an hour and looked very good.
The team has been fortunate not to
have had any one badly injured this
year. Long, Blake, and Jones have
received minor eye injuries but seemed
to be all right today.
If the team continues to improve
as they have in the past two weeks
and no casualities occur to any of
the players Langdale High will have
plenty of trouble on their hands this
week end.

TO KEEP EDGE IN GAMES WON
Auburn Has Won 15, Tech 14, 3 Ties; Greatest Margin Was
Auburn 96-0; Games Have Been Played Since 1892, and
Continuously Since 1912
The Tigers must win over Tech
Saturday if they expect to maintain
their edge in games won and lost
since the beginning of athletic' relations
between the two schools in
1892. Since that time the Plainsmen
and the Jackets have met on the
gridiron 32 times with the Orange
and Blue eleven winning 15 of the
contests. The Tornado has triumphed
14 times and three battles
have ended in ties.
The greatest margin of victory was
in the 1894 game when Auburn won
by a 96 to 0 score. Tech's powerful
steam-roller of 1917 gained partial
revenge for this one-sided lacing,
however, when they took the Tigers
for a ride to the tune of 68 to 7.

New System of Education Is
Being Practiced At Chicago
Chicago — (IP) — Paternalism in
the college classroom appears to be
about to breathe its last at the University
of Chicago, under the direction
of President Robert M. Hutch-ins,
who explained a new system of
higher education to the 775 incoming
freshmen this year.
The Chicago student is now "mentally
on his own." He can make
whatever scholastic progress his application
and ability will permit. He
can cut classes when he wants to
without receiving a slip from the
dean. He will not be called "on the
carpet" when he fails tos make the
same progress in his course as the
other students.
The classes, the teachers, the libraries
and the many other resources of
the university will be there for his
use if he wants to use them. The
education will be there, and the student
can take it or leave it.
At the end of each course the instructor
will make one of two comments.
Those who have made satisfactory
progress will be so designate
ed. Of others the instructor will
simply note: "We don't know enough
about him to comment." Students
who fall into the latter classification
will be barred from intercollegiate
competition. That will be the only
penalty.
Other than that, the student about
whom the instructor doesn't "care
to comment" can go right on doing
as he pleases for at least two years.
At the end of the two-year period
he takes a comprehensive examination,
embracing the subjects he has
pursued. If he passes he goes on
into the University. If he fails he
probably will be advised to quit.
In the meantime the exceptional
student has gone on—probably long
before the two-year period is up—
passed his comprehensive examination
and it in the upper division of
the university. A genius might finish
the first two-year course "in three
months. Then, after taking a two-year
course in one. of the upper divisions
he would get his degree.

Franklin County Girl
To Represent 4-H Club
Freda Rauschenberg of Franklin
County will represent Alabama in a
national 4-H club dress revue contest
to be held in Chicago at the
time of the National 4-H Club Congress
early in December. She won
this honor at the recent state revue
in Montgomery.
She has been a 4-H club member
four years during which time she has
had projects in clothing, foods, and
home improvement. Her special talent
is sewing which probably accounts
for her keen interest in the
clothing program for 4-H club girls.
Her club work was done under the
supervision of Miss Clara Hale,
Franklin County, home demonstration
agent.
At the State 4-H short course at
Auburn in June Freda entered the
semifinal contest where she was one
of the highest group of girls. At the
final contest held October 10, her
costume was declared by the judges
to be the best in the group from the
standpoint of workmanship, appropriateness
and appearance.
Freda's outfit, which included a
blue wool dress and beret to match,
undergarments, and accesaories, cost
$11.62. It is suitable for street or
sports wear.
The 4-H clothing project is designed
to teach girls selection and construction
of garments suitable for
their needs. During the year 5,544
girls participated in the clothing program.
Miss Dorothy Dean, specialist
in clothing and handicrafts, of
the Alabama Polytechnic Institute,
is in charge of the program. All
work is done in local clubs under the
direction of county home demonstration
agents.
22 States Entered In
Egg-Laying Contest
' To determine which hen and which
pen of 10 hens are the best producers
of eggs this year the 8th annual egg-laying
contest at the Poultry Department
has started. One hundred entries
with 10 hens to the entry came
from 22 states scattered from Canada
to Mexico and from coast to
coast. In addition, there are three
alternates in each pen, making a total
of 1,300 hens in the contest.
The states represented are Alabama,.
Mississippi, Missouri, Iowa,
Pennsylvania, Michigan, Ohio, Wisconsin,
Indiana, Virginia, Kentucky,
Kansas, South Carolina, Washington,
Georgia, Delaware, Massachusetts,
Florida, Texas, New Jersey, Illinois,
and Louisiana.
In announcing the opening of the-contest,
Professor G. A. Trollope,
head of the department and Howard
Orr, contest manager, said that all
hens will be fed, housed, and managed
alike. Consequently, the only differences
will be breed and individual
differences.
Accurate records will ' be kept.
Eggs will be weighed and hens scored
on a basis of points as well as by
number of eggs.
Modern poultry houses built eight
years ago especially for contest purposes
will be used. They are equipped
with running water and electric

Michigan Paper to Continue
Despite University Protest
NO SCORE IN 12 YEARS
New York—(IP)—When Union
College played Columbia it lost its
last opportunity to cross the Columbia
goal line. In 12 games played
between the two teams, the Union
team never has crossed the Columbia
goal. The score this year was 51
to 0 in favor of Columbia.
liness and the size of his circuses will
never be forgotten.
The Downie Bros. Circus is said to
be the finest circus that Mr. Sparks
has ever directed and it was for this
same circus parade that' special session
of the state legislature at Columbia,
S. C, halted to view when it
passed the state house there recently.
Ann Arbor, Mich.—(IP)—Despite
the withdrawal by the University of
900 subscriptions from the Michigan
Daily, apparently as a protest against
the student paper's editorial policy,
the University of Michigan publication
will continue, the student managers
have declared.
The university authorities annually
had taken the 900 subscriptions for
distribution among the faculty. Several
recent issues of the paper have
been branded by Dr. Alexander G.
Ruthven, president of the University,
as tasteless and objectionable." They
contained criticism of the conduct
of the American Legion members
at its recent national convention in
Detroit, denounced the dean for
statements concerning student government
and chided professors for
obtaining reprints of college textbooks.
The loss to the paper by tha withdrawal
of the subscriptions will a-mount
to $3,600 annually, although
the editors have estimated that a
large number of the faculty will now
purchase their own papers.
In a recent issue the paper said:
"The editors of the Daily wish to
state at this time that they never
have, and never will, permit the paper
to be guilty of sensationalism. The
Daily has the best interests of the
University of Michigan at heart, but
does not believe that such interests
can be fostered by suppression of
facts."
The Daily will continue to print
news of interest to students, the
editorial said.

CHESTERFIELD TOBACCOS — both Turkish
