Mounted Battery Is
Paraded At Review
An added attraction to the parade
of the R. O. T. C. Unit on Saturday,
March 5th, was the passing in re­view
of the Mounted Battery on Bul-lard
Field. The appearance of the
Mounted Battery at the review was
very good and wa sa distinct credit
to the members of the battery and
the staff officers who have worked
hard in perfecting the organization.
In accordance with the policy of
the Commandant of the R. O. T. C.
Unit of choosing the best platoon
and battery in each Field Artillery
Regiment, and the best platoon and
company in the Engineer Regiment
at ceremonies, the following results
are announced from the parade held
Saturday. Best company of Engi­neers,
company "D", Cadet Captain
F. 3'. Wullenbucher, and best platoon
of Engineers, 2nd platoon of com­pany
"D", Cadet 1st Lt. C. H. West.
In the 1st Regiment of Field Ar­tillery,
"battery "B", Cadet Captain
G. S. Sanford, and the 1st platoon
of battery "D", Cadet 1st Lt. R. C.
Brown were judged the best by the
reviewing officers. Honors in the
2nd regiment of Field Artillery went
to battery "C", Cadet Captain B. B.
Gregory, and the 1st platoon of bat­tery
"E", Cadet 1st Lt. C. M. Bowl­ing.

SPRING ELECTION
OF ELEC SOCIETY
HELD LAST NIGHT
Leading Juniors Receive High­est
Elec Honor with Elec­tion
STRESS SCHOLARSHIP
Two Elections Each Year; Se­lected
from Upper Eighth of
Class
Eta Kappa Nu, national profes­sional
fraternity for electrical engi­neers,
at its regular spring election
held last night extended bids to mem­bership
to seven members of the
junior class in electrical engineering.
The seven men honored were: T. E.
Curtis, Fairhope; H. S. Gassman,
Birmingham; L. A. Johnston, Wil-lard,
Ohio; R. P. Lapsley, Selma;
Warren McMahan, Tuscumbia; J. W.
Solomon, Eufaula; and R. W. Wages,
Birmingham.
Two elections,to Eta Kappa Nu are
held each year, one in the spring
when men are selected from the upper
eighth of the junior class, and the
second in the following fall when the
men are chosen from the upper fourth
of the senior class.
This national organization for elec­trical
engineers was founded at the
University of Illinois in 1904 and Xi
Chapter was established at Auburn in
1920. The purpose of the fraternity
is to bring into union for mutual ben­efit
those men in the profession of
electrical engineering who, by their
attainments in college or in practice,
have manifested a deep interest and
marked ability in their chosen work.
Money Donated To
Unemployment Fund
Because of the football prowess of
Travis Brown, local boy who made
Army's first-string eleven as a soph­omore
last season, Auburn's unem­ployment
fund is in receipt of a check
for $100 from the West Point Ath­letic
Association. The sum is one
of several such checks donated from
the proceeds of the Army-Navy char­ity
game last December to the un­employment
funds in home towns of
players who participated in the game.
Young Brown, who took part in
football, basketball, baseball and
track at Alabama Polytechnic Insti­tute
before entering West Point, is
the son of Dr. and Mrs. J. V. Brown.
Dr. Brown is executive secretary of
the Auburn Alumni Association.
If he continues to shine in ath­letics,
Travis Brown will become one
of the Army's greatest athletes. He
was outstanding on the gridiron, is a
member of the hockey team and will
be a leading candidate for catcher on
the baseball team. He stands a good
chance of breaking in as regular cat­cher
his first year of varsity cam­paigning
on the diamond.
Chet Wynne to Speak
Sunday to New Class
Lack of heat in Langdon Hall
caused the postponement of the first
meeting of the interdenominational
Sunday School class last week. How­ever,
plans will be carried out on the
coming Sunday, and Chet Wynne
will speak as originally stated.
This is being done in an attempt to
promote attendance among students
who are not attending any Sunday
School. The sponsors of the move­ment
stated that a new speaker will
be asked to speak on each Sunday
following if possible. There will be
an attempt made to arrange to have
Morgan Blake, sports editor of The
Atlanta Journal here as the featured
speaker on March the twentieth.

INTERESTING VIEWS GIVEN
ON INTERNA TIONAL AFFAIRS
Economic Aspect Discussed At Monthly Conference; Hoffsom-mer,
Crow, Goff, Rauber, Scott, Speak; Interesting Opin­ions
Voiced
That all wars are not fought for
moral reasons or to protect a nation
against a ruthless foe, but are many
times waged for very practical eco­nomic
reasons was the conclusion of
Dean John W. Scott and four pro­fessors
of the department of econ­omics
and sciology who addressed the
second conference on International
Relations in Langdon Hall Tuesday
afternoon. Running through all of
the addresses was the belief that the
protection of foreign-invested capital
or the maintenance or opening up of
foreign markets were usually para­mount
causes of war.
Dean Scott said that he heartily
agreed with the conclusions present­ed
in papers and addresses by four
professors of his department at the
conference in which they held that
wars had an underlying economic
basis in most if not all instances.
In alluding to the supposed phi­lanthropic
reasons for our waging of
the Spanish-American War it was
hinted that there were very perti­nent
economic causes which may
have had something with its oc­currence.
In trying to ferret out the real
cause of war in the discussions relat­ing
to the international aspects of
the present economic crisis, the five
professors emphasized that dollars
had much to do with the nations of
the world not living together as one,
big, happy family.
Lack of proper distribution of
population has much to do with in­ternational
unrest, said Dr. Harold
Hoffsommer. He pointed to the con­gestion
of teeming millions in the
ambitious, highly industrialized coun­try
of Japan. Overpopulation he be­lieves
is always a potential cause of
war. Australia was mentioned as a
typical area of underpopulation.
Suitable distribution of people
throughout the world is necessary
for world peace, he said.
The series of conferences has been
arranged at the suggestion of Mrs.
Bradford Knapp, chairman of the de­partment
of American citizenship
and foreign relations of the Alabama
federation of women's clubs and the
Auburn Women's Club, by Dr. B. R.
Showalter, director of extension
teaching, who introduced the speak­ers.
Dr. Showalter announced that
the third conference would be held
in early April. . «
Additional information concern­ing
the conference is carried on page
four of this issue.
GYMKHANA EVENTS
STAGED MARCH 2 6
Sponsored by Polo Squad and
Ladies Riding Class to Raise
Funds
Saturday, March 26, has been set
as the date for the gymkhana held
by the polo squad and the ladies'
riding class on Bullard Field at two
o'clock. The purpose of this inform­al
horse show will be tp raise money
for the purchase of helmets for the
polo team. The latter has been using
football headgear which in scrim­mage,
according to the coaches, make
a very poor substitute.
Events will be divided into four
groups: ladies classes, polo classes,
pair classes and team classes. Ladies
classes: exhibition drill by the ladies
riding class; walk, trot, and canter
riding; spoon race; jumping. Polo
classes: best schooled pony; bending
race; stake race; stick and ball race.
Pair classes: needle and thread race;
glove race; pair jumping. Team
classes: mounting wrestling, one team
each from senior and junior classes.
Prizes will consist of blue, red, and
yellow ribbons for each class and in
addition trophies will be awarded in
one or two classes of each group if
it is found financially possible to do
so.
The following explanations of a
few of the events has been made by
the directors in charge: Spoon race—
Entries will be on starting line
mounted, each with a ball in a table­spoon.
At word from the starter
they will race to the finish line. Any
contestant dropping ball may pick it
up and continue the race but no
progress toward finish line can be
made unless the contestant has ball
in spoon. The first tp cross the line
with ball in spoon wins.
/ Pair jumping—A lady and a gen­tleman
will ride the course abreast
taking jumps together, hitting or
knocking down an obstacle to count
faults as in a usual jumping class.
Faults will also be counted if horses
do not take the jumps side by side.
Gentlemen for this event will be se­lected
from a list of artillery seniors
submitted by equitation instructors,
and matching of pairs will be by
drawing. The latter will be done
prior to the show so that the pairs

PLAYERS REHEARSE
FOR PRESENTATION
"The Dream Spectre" Present­ed
Three Times; March 17,
18, and 19
Work on the revival presentation
of Thomas Edgerton Wilk's, "The
Dream Spectre", which is to be stag­ed
by the Auburn Players at the "Y"
Hut, Thursday, Friday, and Satur­day
nights, March 17, 18, and 19,
is progressing rapidly, the first dress
rehearsal being held last night.
The cast is as announced in a pre­vious
issue, with the exception that
Douglass Wall is now taking the part
of the hero, Handsome Harry Sprit-sail.
It is his job to save the hero­ine,
Rosy Ruth, played by Helen Sel­lers,
from the chief villian, Grafton,
as played by J. W. Condon. The
comic lead is played by Clinton Wal-lis,
as a well-meaning but none too
bright Brompton grocer.
Being a genuine melodrama of the
Victorian period, the play has three
villains, and a like number of mur­ders.
It is in no wise a mystery thril­ler,
however, any more than it is a
burlesque. The chief humor lies in
the very seriousness of the plot and
acting, and the fact that intelligent
people cpuld ever have taken this
sort of drama seriously.
Mrs. Zanoma Nelson, a newcomer
to the ranks of the local thesians,
is assisting Professor Telfair B. Peet
in the direction of the piece, while
Miss Dana Gatchell, of the home eco­nomics
department, is rendering val­uable
assistante with the costumes.'

Duncan to Represent
South On Committee
Military Engineers
Elect New Officers
Prof. L. N. Duncan, director of
the extension service, has been in­vited
and has accepted the invitation
to serve as the southern member of
a committee from the Association of
Land Grant Colleges and Universities
to investigate and report on the ef­fect
of the economic situation as it
affects agriculture. Other members
of the committee are Dean Thomas
Cooper, University of Kentucky;
Dean H. W. Mumford, University of
Illinois; Prof. G. F. Warren, Cornell
University, N. Y.; Dr. H. R. Tolley,
Giannini Institute, California; Dr.
M. L. Wilson, Montana State College.
The committee will make a thor­ough
investigation of the subject.
In doing so they will call economists
and others into service and council.
It is understood, Prof. Duncan ex­plained,
that recommendations will
be made for procedure, using the
facts ascertained by the survey and
also the counsel of leading econo­mists
of the United States.
Selection of Prof. Duncan as a
member of this Important committee
is another recognition of his high
standing in the Association of Land
Grant Colleges and Universities. Re­cently
he was called to advise with
the executive committee of this or­ganization
on important legislative
matters now pending.
The personnel of the committee
was selected with a view to assign­ing
the ablest group of men connec­ted
with these educational institu­tions
to the task of an authentic
study to be followed by recommen­dations
of far-reaching importance
and value to the American people.
Dedication of the Auburn-Opelika
airport will take place on Monday,
April 4, it was announced today by
officers of Auburn-Opelika Airport,
Inc., of which Dr. Bradford Knapp is
president.
Included in the program for the
exercises will be addresses by Dr.
Knapp, Mayor H. K. Dickinson of
Opelika, Mayor W. D. Copeland of
Auburn, and a representative of the
Department of Commerce.
A Goodyear blimp, squadrons of
army, navy and national guard planes
and civil and commercial planes, and
the record-breaking plane of the Tex­as
Oil Company are expected to be
at the celebration.
Flying by a stunt team of three
planes from the Naval Air Station,
Pensacola, will be a feature of the
program. The team will be led by
Lt. John Cromelin of Montgomery.
Five hundred invitations will be
sent to aviators and airplane opera­tors
throughout the southern states,
it was said.
Hard Times Condemned
By Kiwanis At Meeting
Old Man Hard Times was con­demned
and outlawed by the Auburn
Kiwanis Club at their meeting Mon­day.
The resoultion concerning him
was introduced by Dr. R. S. Sugg,
chairman of the Club's committee on
public affairs. It said:
"WHEREAS Old Man Hard Times

been lurking around for some time
as an unwelcome visitor in our
midst; and

No Provision Made For In­spection
Trip
That the election of class officers,
Editor and Business of The Plains­man,
and Editor and Business of the
Glomerata will be held on March the
30th was the information gained from
various members of the Executive
Cabinet today. At a meeting of the
Cabinet Monday night the date of
the elections was set for April 6th.
However, no provision was made for
the fact that the senior class would
be out of town at this time for the in­spection
trip.
There has been no formal change
made by the Cabinet, but the action
of this body will be announced in the
next issue. Since the election officers
and chairman of the election commit­tee
will not be present, the date will
be changed from, necessity, and March
30th is considered the logical date for
this change.
Forms of nomination blanks, time
of entry, and various regulations will
be carried with the formal announce­ment
in the next issue.
Harry Lloyd Announces
Marriage of Last July
Another secret marriage involving
one of Auburn's leading athletes is
no longer a secret.
Harry Lloyd, of Lindale, Ga., all-
Dixie League first baseman and alter­nate-
captain of the Tigers 1932 base­ball
team, is the latest strike out vic­tim
of Dan Cupid. Lloyd, a senior,
was married to Miss R. E. Ponder,
technician McCall Hospital, Rome,
Ga., July 2, 1931.
Mr. and Mrs. Lloyd did not want to

Military Engineers' at the regular
meeting held Tuesday evening.
S. C. Pugh of Union Springs was
named president. Other officers
chosen are T. W. Sparrow of Au­burn,
vice-president; I. L. Ledbetter
of Bessemer, secretary.
S. A. M. E. brings together the R.

who are inteersted in forensic work
of a military nature. Bi-weekly
meetings are held each second and
fourth Tuesday evenings.
Stewart Loses Weight
At Conference Tourney
The strain of the Southern Confer­ence
basketball tournament in At­lanta
was so great on Capt. Jack
Stewart, Auburn center, that the
Tigers' great leader lost exactly 15
pounds in three gruelling games
against North Carolina State, L. S.
U. and North Carolina. Stewart
weighed 191 when he opened against
N. C. State, Auburn's initial tourney
opponent, and tipped the scales at
176 after the semi-final clash with
the Tarheels.
The Plainsmen, who tied with
Duke for third place in the cage car­nival
in Atlanta, downed the Wolf-pack
and Louisiana tSate to reach
the semi-finals and lost their third tilt
to the second place Tarheels.
and our willingness to admit his pres­ence;
and
"WHEREAS this recognition has
been harmful, injurious, and detri­mental
to us and to business,
"Now, thefefore, Be it Resolved
that the said Old Man Hard Times
(alias depression) is hereby banished
from among us and catapulted into
parts unknown never to return. To
complete the job we pledge ourselves
to erase any and all records of him
and to blot him from our memories.
"Be It Resolved further that we
earnestly invite all others (clubs, or­ganizations,
and individuals) to join
us in this movement for the restora­tion
of public confidence and good
business."
Another resolution adopted by the
club endorsed the movement now be­ing
promoted in Alabama under the
able leadership of Donald Comer and
Thad Holt "to bring hidden money
back into circulation."
It pledged the cooperation of the
Club and called upon others "to join
heartily in the good work."'
C. J. Hayden, retired capitalist,
lawyer, and newspaper man of At­lanta,
Ga., addressed the Club. He
spoke on the railroad situation, show­ing
how the present conditions are
affecting the railroads and how the
public is affected.
Dr. Paul Irvine, member of the
Club, told of the work in progress
in Lee County in behalf of crippled
children and several members of the
club became members of the Alabama
Society for Crippled Children.

Lloyd probably was thinking about
becoming a benedict when he gave
opposing boxmen so much trouble
last season and turned in several
sparkling fielding plays around the
initial sack. He batted .378 as a
junior, being noted for his long-dis­tance
and timely clouting, and re­ceived
honorable mention for College
Humor's ail-American. He intends
to enter professional baseball when
he concludes his collegiate career.
Lye Is Discovered In
Ala. Bootleg Whisky
Positive evidence that lye is mixed
with "bootleg liquor" sold in Alabama
has been revealed by chemical analysis
made by chemists at the state chemi­cal
laboratories in connection with the
chemistry department here.
Recently viscora of a man known
to have been a heavy drinker and to
have died of acute alcoholism was
sent to Auburn for analysis. H. W.
Nixon, chemist and toxicologist who
did the work, reported that large
qualities of caustic potash and caustic
soda (lye) were found inside the
stomach. "His stomach had been
eaten up by it," he added.
Mr. Nixon explained that the lye
was put into the whisky either by the
manufacturer for aging it or by
someone with intent to harm or poison
the drinker.

MOUNTED BATTERY
The excellent appearance of the Mounted
Battery in passing in review last Saturday,
the splendid work in going into position,
firing the salute, limbering up, and moving
out has been the object of much favorable
comment. Organized early in December,
the battery has shown remarkable improve­ment
under the direction of Captain W. A.
Metts and assisting officers, and the earn­est
work done by the members in perfecting
the unit shows the exceptional interest
being taken in the work.
The worth of the battery is being proven
in the valuable training it is giving the'
participating members by preparing them
for the work that will be required at R. 0.
T. C. camp next summer. It is further,
offering an opportunity for interested stu­dents
to participate in additional R. O. T. C.
work, and it is now becoming an interesting
addition to military activities, parades and
reviews.
A distinct credit to Auburn and especially
to the Military Department, the* Mounted
Battery is an organization which is proving
worth while and which we hope will be
continued and enlarged in the future.
ANOTHER ATTEMPT
The zero hour, says a current issue of a
news weekly, is on. The zero hour, it
seems, is the latest drive against the now
perennial bogy-bear, depression. In this
newest drive, the American Legion has
joined hands over the entire country in an
effort to wipe out forever, the blight upon
American business and the recently cre­ated,
American progress. The leader says
that they intend to go on until the objec­tive
is gained. And so, the question for
the next several months, sandwiched in be­tween
a kidnapping or gang story, and
the latest manner in which the Nipponese
find it possible to thumb their noses at the
League of Nations, we will find the de­velopments
on the war to end depression.
It is quite evident that there can be
no war to end war, and we are as fully
skeptical over the possibility of the success
ef a war to end depression. In view of
the fact that we have struggled for the
past four years on a negative hank bal­ance,
we are greatly encouraged, however,
by the first flurry of reports which an
nounced that thousands of jobs had been
recured in the initial ro"und-up. Our fond­est
dream will be realized if this cam
paign is still being carried on when we
leave college.
There is also a rumor going the rounds
that there is a general practice of hoarding
throughout the country. To the collegiate
mind such a condition seems impossible.
The general conception around education­al
institutions seems to be that all the
money has been retired from circulation,
particularly in the home town. Neverthe­less,
in our fruitless attempt to be clever,
we must add the single sincere statement
in conclusion, that we hope that this cam­paign,
among the many that have been
begun, will end in a successful result.
A CRITICAL ESSAY ON NOTHING
AT ALL
Without reverting to the Victorian touch
there seems to be an open field for con­structive
criticism on the manner in which
the modern world places its bodies under
the tension of modern development. The
necessity of parallelling our physical ac­tions
with those of our scientific improve­ments
have been proven within the past
several years to be the cause for the deteri­oration
and highly increased mortality
rates over the entire nation. Supple­mented
by the highly .americanized tradi­tion
that the Jones' must not stay even
one jump ahead, the nucleus of the mod­ern
generation and even as far departed as
the last, has shown alarming signs of too
much speed and too little physical care.
Almost all institutions over the country
have records to show that the mental cases
made a decided increase in the past sev­eral
years, and in some cases outnumber
the cases of ordinary illness. Accidents
enter the records and take a greater toll
than in former years. There is, of course,
a reason for these uncommon maladies,
but in all cases there could be found a
remedy. Modern science, while in the hot­bed
of development in speeding up the
world has also found means of keeping the
human body at an even speed. While we
are finding it so necessary to keep up with
the advancing world we must eventually
find it necessary to take advantage of the.
anecdotes that science has deemed it wise
to prepare to neutralize the high-speed
tendency. To find it before it is too late
is the greatest need at the present; it is
there to be used. Eventually we will find
it necessary to live a score of years behind
our developments in order to live at all.
Unfortunately we were so constructed that
it is necessary to be of a highly simple na­ture
in but one thing—living.
Letters to the Editor
Editor The Plainsman:
In this column of Saturday's Plainsman,
there was an article which questioned the
policy of the "A" Club in regard to the
"A" Club room and to the fact that its
members are allowed to make all dances
given at the gym without any expense.
Feeling fully justifiable for being inquisi­tive,
I am not writing this in the nature
of an apology. However, I do believe that
it is my duty, in all fairness to the "A"
Club, to state the answers of the club to
the questions asked. Here they are: The
"A" Club room is for the use, benefit, and
enjoyment of all Auburn students. It is
kept locked when nobody can be there to
look after it in order that its furnishings
will not be destroyed or taken. The only
time excepting this when all students are
not welcome is during the Club's meetings.
It is reasonable that nobody should be at
the Club's business meetings. Usually only
'a small number of the "A" Club men go to
any one dance. Those who do blithely and
efficiently take upon themselves the respon­sibility
of "bouncing the drunks". As a
remuneration for their time and effort, it
is only fair that they should be allowed
to get in free. The above policy, if pursued,
could hardly bring animosity from any stu­dent.
Surely we have the men of the "A"
Club to thank for keeping hot water, ma­terials,
and supplies at the gym.
—Richelieu.
Editor The Plainsman.

the Plainsman staff on its commend­able
attitude taken toward FREE PRESS.
Gentleman! We, they and all have felt
the prevailing effects of the pace set by
you and some of your able assistants.
Now, is it possible that anyone could be
so narrow minded as to make an attempt
at suppressing the general airing out of
the prevalent underhand methods that are
in the common vogue around this innocent
little camp of ours. It just brings tears to
my eyes as large as onions from inferno
when I have to break down and fess that
such is the case at present.
Egad Sir, are we still living in the feudal
stage of life when Constitutional Rights,
State Rights, and Rights of Sufferage will
not allow us the privilege of leaping upon
a stump (figuratively speaking) and telling
the world that there is a nigger in the wood
pile. Be Gads we are not, yet there are
some people whom are laboring under the
misapprehension that we are.
Give me Free Press in Auburn, Walter
Winchell, or a one way ticket to some pro­verbial
spot in ole Mexico, preferably Cel-aya,
which is not infested with such per­petual
pains.
The past f w weeks have brought to light
many circumstances that might have re­mained
in the pigeon holes that they have
occupied in the past. Thanks to one Con­scientious
Student that the real conditions
have been aired, even at the expense of the
Administrative good will. The writer hav­ing
realized that these faults existed yet
probably like many more around the Cam­pus,
having lacked the courage to voice their
opinions in the public press. Pacifist meas­ures
in the past have been of no avail;
thirigs continued in the same old routine.
I r.otice that one chirping columnist makes
the assertion that destructive criticism in
not in style around this place. I interpret
from his column that we all enter Auburn
to become Auburn men; follow her age old
traditions and do just as some fortunate
one who has plodded the henpecked path

We were somewhat taken aback upon see­ing
a glaring headline in the Reveille, en­titled
"Flunk Dammit Flunk". This seems
to be the name of a new fraternity among
our blase friends over at the Capstone. Any
student who has flunked any course in elig­ible
for membership, and from what we
can gather the new brotherhood has taken
the University by storm.

It was nearly midnight. Bernie Cummins
was filling the house with rare rhythm.
Two or three of the brothers sat reading
Edgar Wallace (and authors of more ques­tionable
fame). Suddenly there came a
low, plainitive cry, almost a whine. Every­one
looked up. Again came the faint noise,
almost a groan this time. One of the more
courageous Greeks strode boldly to the door
and faltered. Regaining his courage he
opened the door and breathlessly peered
out. Again the cry, and the bold brother
shuddered. Then came a thought—was this
Lindberg's baby—large reward—headlines.
He dashed out into the wild night and
stumbled over a warm object. He quickly
got to his .feet and called for help. The
other brothers came in fear and trembling.
A low snifling sound comes from their
feet. They hold the door open, and into the
light a stately bulldog struts majestically,
seeking the shelter from the cold.

In a late issue of the Cincinnati Enquirer
we read that Congressman Jeffers, of Ala­bama
has proposed a bill that will "make it
a crime to advocate or promote the over­throw
or the destruction of the Govern­ment
of the United States by force or vi­olence,
or for other purposes." To us this
seems a bit far-fetched. With all of this
country's laws, against treason, rioting, and
"high crimes and misdemeanors" it becomes
necessar yto enact an additional law on the
statute books that is not only extremely
vague and incongruous, but is also absurd
in its generality. Of course it was a noble,
one-hundred percent gesture on the part of
Alabama's Congressman, and it will prob­ably
be known as the Jeffers Bill, but its
sole accomplishment from the point of
view of political philosophy is the writing
down of another law that, in its indefinite
form, the Executive department cannot
possibly enforce.

We know that Will Rogers was a lot of
things, but it had never occurred to us that
he was a literary critic. In today's speel
he comes around and recommends Pearl S.
Buck's The Good Earth. Although Will
ascends to the flowery, his judgment could
be lots worse. He ends up his little splutter
with a characteristic "So get this and read
it, it will keep you out of some devilment,
and learn you all about China, and you will
thank me."

Although colyumnizinz is a new game to
us, we feel that even numskulls can learn
with persistence and industry. With such
examples before us as Will Rogers, Walter
Lippman, Old Odd, Heywood Broun, Scottie
MacKenzie Fraser, John Temple Graves
II, Henry Vance, and Cecil H. C. Hornady
we ought to accomplish wonders. • All things
come to him who waits.
before him. This does not work with this
generation of Auburn men. There is not
much Chinese in us; in fact not enough to
have crooked feet.
Destructive criticism, tho it may not at
first appeal to the reader, is essentially
what is needed here. When the faults have
been torn from their roots, then we may
look forward to a more desirable existence;
it certainly could not be made more deplor­able
than at present.
This institution was originally founded
to purvey education to the forming element
of the state. We find from past records
that it has succeeded admirably. Now, any
business no matter what it may be must
undergo a change over a certain period of
years. The age old customs under which it
was founded will not last to perpetuate its
success always. A display of traditions
were commonly meant for spectators and
not for homesteaders anyway. Some little
irregularities will have to be corrected to
future the success of this institution. Our
school press has exposed some of the im­portant
ones.

From the Red and Black we learn that
the Gawga coo-eds who seem to have trouble
deciding on the boy-friend-of-the-week
have been aided no end by the ingenius
method -of selection used by one of the in­ventive
minds. It seems that the particu­lar
girl whom the story referred to made a
practice each week of inflating a number
of balloons with the name of a possible vic­tim
attached to each and then released
them within her room. The chosen was
decided by the name upon the balloon that
remained in the air the longest. Which
all goes to prove that the college boy never
has had a chance and that he is up in the
air long before he even makes a contact.

Co-educational meals is the cry at Wor­cester

The Reveille labels an editorial "Don't

recommendation to a student body in col­lege
journalism this year. We often dream
of a campus where no one is assinine—not
even the college paper.

RESOLUTIONS FOR 1982
By A. H. Vernede
Here are the things'I mean to do
(With luck)* in 1932.
I'll rise benignant, wise and strong
Before the second breakfast gong.
And, if the morn be not too murk,
Will strive to do a spot of work,
'Ere the impatient clocks suggest a
Light luncheon and a short siesta.
I'll struggle with my dull routine,
Till 4 or even 4:15.
And hie me straight to home and grub
(After a flutter at the Club).
For dinner I will be content •
With seven courses (six in Lent).
I'll smoke (for I have high ideals)
Only before and after meals.
And (barring whisky and champagne)
From wine and spirits I'll refrain.
My spouse shall have the final word
Save when I'm certain she has erred.
True to the ancient apophthegm,
I'll be in bed by 2 a. m.
And, if I'm very, very ill,
I'll let a lawyer draft my Will.

AREAL contribution to the under­standing
of world affairs is being
made by the series of conferences
sponsored by the Alabama Federation of
Women's Clubs. The program given Tues­day,
March 8, was on the general theme of
"Economic Factors Underlying the Pres­ent
Crisis',, and although the author was
not able to stay through the complete meet­ing,
it is still safe to say that the program
made the most progressive contribution to
constructive thinking that Auburn has seen
in a long time.
The School of Science and Literature and
especially the Business Administration De­partment
is to be congratulated on the ex­cellent
and comprehensive discussion of
world problems that this program included.
The papers prepared by members of the
Business Administration Department show­ed
a tremendous amount of work, and the
only discouraging feature of the whole pro­gram
was the fact that so few people at­tended.

Cletus recently had the pleasure of an
interview with Arthur Shields, assistant di­rector
of the Abbey Irish Players. During
the course of the interview Mr. Shields made
several statements that showed a keen in­sight
into American life. These impres­sions
should be of particular interest to us.
"Almost everywhere I go", stated Mr.
Shields, "people ask me how I like America,
but from my observation during the short
time that I have been in this country there
is no such thing as America. The United
States is such a large country that the peo­ple
in different sections have characteristics
that differ almost as widely as those 'be­tween
countries in Europe. This is cer­tainly
the impression that an outsider gets
in traveling through the United States so
when people ask me how I like America I
tell them that there is no such place.
"Another thing that strikes me as very
interesting and very different from what I
expected is the lack of attention given the
individual in America. All the stress seems
to be placed on mass thinking and mass ac­tion
which has certainly left me with the
impression that American individualism is
a thing of the past."
* * * *
Fraternities have contributed greatly to
the development of Auburn and they have
contributed greatly to the development of
Auburn men, and because this is true we
should strive to improve our present system.
The following editorial taken from the "In-tercollegian"
seems well in order:
"This is hardly a time for adding to
the woes of fraternities. Most of them
have enough already, especially those
with 'prosperity built' houses to sup­port.
It probably would be more ap­propriate
to congratulate the fraterni­ties
for their real achievements; they
have helped to solve the problem of stu­dent
housing; they have demonstrated
their cultural value in maintaining the
social niceties; they have given train­ing
in cooperative livng; they have
cultvated a communal loyalty at a time
when individualism was the order of
the day. The list might go on.
"The sober fact, however, is that the
opposite side of the scale is becoming
heavier and heavier, not only in the
minds of the critics of fraternities but
even more so in the judgment of their
members and friends. On this side
must be considered the cliquishness of
the fraternity, its petty rivalries, its
overemphasis upon social position, the
extravagant luxury of its accomoda­tions
which make post-college adjust­ments
often difficult or tragic, its mor­ality
based on the least common de­nominator
of campus respectability;
but, in the judgment of some, the most
serious condemnation at this particular
moment in the history of the world lies
in its ability to enforce conformity.
"College fraternities," says the Daily
Cardinal, "require men to think alike,
dress alike, feel alike. To be different
is the one final sin. To wear a double-breasted
suit when all the boys have
three buttons is the ultimate vice. A
distaste for football is fatal. Not to
say, 'Okay, pal' when that is the week's
catchword is to be ostracized; to con­sider
that a course reputed to be stiff
and to be avoided is good to be looked
at with lofted eye-brows, to be referred
to as professor, to be taunted good-naturedly
(for all of this is pleasant
and friendly) as an 'intellectual,' a
'Christer,' a 'fitzy,' or whatever the
term of the moment happens to be."
The colleges and the world have a
right to ask for a better "balance
sheet" than this. The fraternities must
answer.

PLANS COMPLETE FOR ANNUAL
INTERFRAT TENNIS TOURNEY

and P l a c e of Meeting; Pairings Announced
Definite plans for the annual inter-fraternity
tennis tournament have
been announced by the committee ap­pointed
at the last meeting of the
council to draw them up. Entrants
in the tournament will be allowed
slightly longer time to complete their
matches than in the past, with the
tournament beginnin gon March 25,
and running till May 1, by which
time all of the matches will have been
concluded.
As in the past, the council is offer­ing
two prizes, one for the winners
and one for the runners-up. The win­ners'
prize will be a very handsome
loving cup, engraved with the name
of the fraternity winning the tourna­ment.
The prize for the runners-up
has not been announced yet.
Each fraternity entered in the
tournament will be represented by two
players who will comprise a doubles
team. No requiresments as to court
or specific dates for each match will
be made, the two opposing fraterni­ties
agreeing, on the time and place.
It is requested that these matches be
given preference over all others and
players not representing fraternities
will please relenquish the courts to
those who wish to play a match.

Modern Co-eds Make
Ideal Wives Believed
Hard boiled? Of course not. The
modern college co-ed, who goes out
into this work-a-day business world
does not get hard boiled. She can
be romantic and business-like at the
same time.
This is the opinion of Professor
Agnes Enox Black of Boston uni­versity's
college of liberal arts in ex­pressing
the view of liberal arts in
expressing the view that co-eds make
better wives than the shrinking vio­let,
stay-at-home girl.
Miss Marion C. Pattlar, vocational
director for women, and Warren E.
Benson, director of the Boston uni­versity
placement service, uphold
this view.
According to Miss Pattlar; the
college girl who has had experience
in the working world, makes the bet­ter
wife because she understands her
husband's problems, and knows how
to spend money. She may be free in
spending money but she gets more
for her money, Miss Pattlar main­tains.
>
Furthermore, the business girl
knows what type of men are most
companionable. She treats men as
co-workers, and is not self-conscious
when thrown into contact with men
of various professions.
The business world develops valu­able
and interesting wives, Benson
believes. The co-ed who has worked
can talk intelligently. In fact she
gains about 500 per cetn in almost
every way, bringing up her children
and training them, and in knowing
how to stretch the buying power of
the dollar.
Howard Orr Moved
To Walker County
On March 11 F. Howard Orr, Jr.,
of the poultry department, will be­come
assistant county agent in Walk­er
County. He will work with J. W.
Sartain, one of the oldest in service
of the county agents in Alabama,
having worked continuously in Walk­er
County more than 20 years.
Appointment of Mr. Orr was ar­ranged
recently by J. T. High, dis­trict
demonstration agent of Auburn,
with Judge Long and the commis­sioners
of the county. The county
appropriation for the work was made
by the Commissioners' Court. The
state and federal governments will
cooperate through Auburn.
Mr. Orr was readed on a farm in
Morgan County. He is an alumnus
of Auburn, graduating in 1930, and
specializing in poultry. Since grad­uation
he has done poultry work
throughout the state. Since last fall
he has been superintendent of the
egg-laying contest at Auburn.

When Auburn and Duke tied for
third place in the annual Southern
Conference basketball tournament in
Atlanta, it was the second time dur­ing
the 1931-32 scholastic year that
the Tigers and Blue Devils had clos­ed
an athletic campaign deadlocked
for a prominent position in the stand­ings
among the outstanding schools
in Dixie.
The Plainsmen and Blue Devils
finished the 1931 gridiron season in
a four-way tie with Suwanee and
South Carolina for eighth place in
the conference. Coach Chet Wynne's
Orange and Blue wearers, however,
had the best claim on the berth, de­feating
Sewanee and South Carolina
during the regular season and the
Gamecocks held a decision over Wal­lace
Wade's proteges.
Mrs. Judd Leaves For
State D. A. R. Meet
Mrs. Zebulon Judd left Auburn
early Tuesday morning to attend the
state D. A. R. convention at Gads­den,
of which she is state regent.
She will be in Gadsden until Thurs­day.
The last session of the con­vention
will be held at the D. A. R.
High School on the mountain of Mar­shall
county.
Dean Zebulon Judd, Dr. George
Petrie, and Rev. Wm. Bird Lee left

Tulsa, Okla.— (IP)—This is a yarn
of the French bomb.
.In 1916 a French aviator tripped
the release of the bomb carriage
attached to the under side of- his
plane. He leaned out over the side
and watched it drop into the German
city of Nurnberg.
"Mon Dieu!"~
In 1916 a German student in the
city of Nurnberg heard the sound
of airplane motors over the town
and the coughing bark of anti-air­craft
fire. He leaned out the win­dow
and saw the white glare of the
bomb's explosion.
"Mein Gott!"
In 1932 these same two live across
the hall from one another in the
same rooming house, eat at the same
restaurant, and teach in the same
school, the University of Tulsa.
Pierre Macy, the aviator, is pro­fessor
of Romance languages.
Kurt Sepmeier, the student, is pro­fessor

Tea Sunday Afternoon Opens Week Celebration of National
Business Woman's Week in Auburn
By Jessie Aycock
The Business and Professional Wo­men's
Club of Auburn entertained at
a tea Sunday afternoon from 4 to 5
at the home of Miss Alma Lamar,
presidetn of the local club. The Bus­iness
and Professional Women's
Clubs of Opelika and LaFayette were
represented; also representatives of
the numerous women's organizations
of Auburn.
Those present from LaFayette Club
weer the president, Miss Sarah Tal-ley,
Misses Garrett, Stewart, Sellers
and Andrews; Opelika was represent­ed
by Mrs. George Kirby and Misses
McCall and Fletcher; The Woman's
Club of Auburn by Mrs. B. R. Sho­walter,
president; U. D. C. by Mrs.
J. C. Grimes, president, and D. A. R.
by Miss Mary Martin, president. The
club also had as guests a number of
other women of Auburn who are ac­tive
in social and civic affairs.
The reception rooms and dining
room were lovely in decorations of
snapdragons and ferns. The mem­bers
of the reception committee
were: Misses Mary Martin, Alma
Newton, Bert Newton, Mildren Han­son,
Edith Slights, Frances Blackmon,
Jessie Aycock and Mrs. Henry Good.
Assisting in the dining room were:
Mrs. Alma Whatley, Misses Berta
Dunn, Farley Lee and Jewel Davis.
The tea opened the celebration of
National-Business Women's Week in
Auburn which is being observed
March 6-12, in conjunction with some
1300 clubs over the nation. The
week's program is being arranged by
Mrs. A. F. Nickel, chairman of pub­lic
relations and Miss Jessie Aycock,
chairman of publicity.
"The business women of America
are on the firing line. It is time for
them to show their mettle," says Mrs.
Geline MacDonald Bowman, of Rich­mond,
Virginia, president of the Na­tional
Federation of Business and
Professional Women's Clubs, in a
Business Women's Week message is­sued
to the 60,000 members of the
organization today.
"Periods of emergency are on the
real test of quality. Many a soldier
in the war swaggered when he was
miles away from the front line
trenches only to turn craven within
sound of the enemy's guns.
"Today none of us are facing the
perils of gunfire, but spiritual perils
just as grave assail us: the perils of
doubt and loss of self-confidence; the
deadly peril of fear.
"These are the perils that warp
and twist our characters; that build
spite and pettiness and envy. As wo­men,
how shall we meet them; with
shaken faith or serene assurance?
"The answer depends in large
measure, I believe, on how we have
builded our business lives. Have we
bulwarked ourselves with the stead-fats
knowledge that we are qualified
for our daily tasks? Have we learned
to adjust ourselves to others so that
we can work without inharmony and
friction? Have we the spirit of fair
play?
"Above all, have we learned the value
of solidarity? Do we believe in other
women? Are we ready to make com­mon
cause with them when they are
discriminated against?
"In other words, have the difficult
experiences of the past few months
quickened our sympathies and clari­fied
our spiritual vision?
"Those who can answer in the af­firmative
have learned to wrest tri­umph
even from adversity. Upon
them rests the responsibility of hold­ing
up the torch to their fellows. For
America today needs spiritual lead­ership.
The women of America need
quickened courage and faith. And w
leadership comes only from those who
have first conquered themselves."
By the time a man has been in a
pantry five , minutes he has uttered
sixteen complaints about the way the
house is managed.

INSIGHTS GIVEN ON ECONOMIC
ASPECTS OF WORLD RELATIONS
Papers On Various Phases of International Relations Are Read
At Meeting; Extracts Given Below
Extracts from the papers of Prof.
William C. Crow, Dr. John H. Goff,
and Dr. Earle L. Rauber, which were
delivered at the second Conference on
International Relations yesterday af­ternoon,
are printed below. More
complete details from the lectures of
Dean J. W. Scott, and Dr. H .C.
Hoffsommer will be contained in the
next issue of this paper.
Discussing international economic
relations from a more economic aspect
Prof. Crow stated in part:
"We know that business influ­ences
governments and that in the
past most, if not all, international
strife has been due to economic rela­tions.
"Trade, the essential lubricant of
big business, has become world-wide.
Complications are frequent and se­rious.
In recent weeks we note the
Chinese situation, which is a case of
one country's (Japan) trying to get
control of raw materials in the unde­veloped
country of Manchuria. At
the same time Japan is seeking to
break a byocott on her goods and
keep open the Chinese markets for
her products.
"Competition by big business of
various countries for additional prof­its
in foreign markets where goods
may be sold for less than in home
markets often leads to the implication
of governments into international
conflicts," said Prof. Crow. Whereas
the home markets are paying the
overhead and providing a profit, the
additional outlet in foreign channels
brings added gain to the businesses
since a small profit on goods sold
abroad constituted that much more
income above cost of production.
"While it is clear that this practice
of "dumping" these products on for-
T f f i homelike, atmosphere ot 1 the Moltoo, to different

eign markets is profitable for the
American manufacturer, it is equally
obvious that it places the foreign
manufacturer at a serious disadvan­tage
and would encounter his strong­est
opposition. His market is being
taken from him. What can he do ex­cept
influence his government to come
to his aid and place a tariff or some
other trade barrier in the way of the
importation of the American product,
thereby injuring or destroying this
market for the American producer
which may, because of decreased
sales, result in a loss for the whole
operation of the American manufac­turer
in case his home market does
not already take care of the overhead
plus a profit. The American produ­cer
in turn appeals to this government
to retaliate with a tariff or "other
trade barrier against the products of
this foreign country.
"But the case does not always end
in a mere tariff war. Suppose the
American manufacturer and a Ger­man
manufacturer are competing for
the Japanese or Chinese market. To
each this market is necessary to in­crease
profits or to prevent losses.
Eeach enlists the aid of his respec­tive
government to keep open the
particular market. Each has perhaps
made' generous contributions to the
campaign funds in its respective coun­try,
an dthe result is one government
against another to protect the mar­ket's
of its citizens, which may result
in some bloody war."
International Trade Barriers
Free trade between nations is
highly important for the economic
well-being of the world, said Dr. John
H. Goff who described a number of
trade barriers now in existence. We
will never enjoy unhameperd world­wide
trade so long as interests of va­rious
nation are placed above that
of all nations, and world prosperity
will come only with free internation­al
trade.

The general principal of /"buy at
home" will not solve the situation, he
continued, as he pointed to the ment­al
barriers set up by various nations
such as the boycott of Japanese
goods in China. He believes that
the boycott principle as propounded
by the League of Nations will not
solve the situation. It winks both
ways.
Some Countries prevent .the too-severe
competition of foreign goods
by establishing certain quotos allow­ed
to enter a country from foreign
nations. Czecho-Slovakia and Prance
have employed this means particular­ly
as to the number of foreign made
automobiles allowed to be sold in
these-countries.
In Spain the wide-gauge railroads
make reloading of incoming products
necessary, thereby incurring addi-al
expense which raises the price of
many foreign products in that coun­try.
The Spnaish openly claim that
their wider-guage railroad system
serves as a means of national de­fense
since foreigners could not take
over the systems and ship in war
supplies and soldiers without trans­fer
to Spanish rolling stock at the
frontier.
. Other countries limit the number
of foreigners permitted to do business
there and set up annoying legal quali­fications.
This is not done to any
great extent in America but sales­man
from American firms encounter
great difficulty in European coun­tries.
Foreign business ih hampered by
heavy taxes in some countries, and
other governments subsidize or favor
other countries whose trade they
particularly covet. England does
this openly and our own country the
award of handsome naval contracts
may be looked upon as doing the
same thing in a different manner.
America further restricts foreign
trade by our monopoly on all coast­wise
and intercoastal shipping which
is limited to American companies.
Some European countries even
limit or tax the amount of air traf­fic
over their territories. Though
a company does not plan to land an
airplane in a particulafcountry some
take the position that the privilege
to fly over, them constitutes a na­tional
concession and hold there is
always a possibility that the plane
may be forced to land within its bor­ders.
An instance of monopoly on sale
of matches or lighting equipment was
sighted in a South American country
which had secured great loans from
the Swedish match industries in re­turn
for this concession. For this
reason no American-made or foreign
cigarette or cigar lighters could be
sold there. The tremendous former
sale of narcissus bulbs in this coun­try
by Dutch concerns has been throt­tled
ostensibly because of the hazard
of bringing in destructive insects.
Failure of our government to recog­nize
the possibility of effective and
thorough disinfection of bulbs which
the Dutch claim is possible is look- j
ed upon by Dr. Goff as a means of
favoring American florists. Previous
to the restriction of the bulb trade
in America, Holland had held that
Chicago meat was not fit for sale in
that eountry but the Dutch altered
their belief since the banning of
Dutch-grown bulbs.
America's Stake Abroad
That the underlying factor in
America's, or any other capitalistic
nation's, relations wiht other world
powers is fundamentally governed by
the protection of vital economic in­terests,
of which investments and
laons are among the most important
was set forth in a discussion of
"America's Stake Abroad", by Dr.
Earle LeRoy Rauber.
"Every foreign investment," he
says, "represents a permanent inter­est
in the international affairs of the
other country. - Hence, every foreign
investment represents a potential
source of friction in which the assis­tance
of the government of the in­vestor's
country may be invoked. The
potential tension in international re­lations
may be said to be almost di­rectly
proportional to the extent of a
country's foreign investments.
"If one wishes to look for the pos­sible
'hot spots' in international re­lations,
one must first consider the
magnitude of economic interests in­volved
in foreign investments.
"America came to industrial matu
rity fairly late," continued Dr. Rau
ber. "It was in the thirty years be­tween
1870 and 1900 that we made
the most rapid progress in industry,
both from a technical standpoint and
from the standpoint of organization.
It was during that period that inves-tible
surpluses began to accumulate
in the hands of American business
men. Most of these flowed into do­mestic
development as did surpluses
from European countries. A fraction
of these investment funds, however,
did find their way into foreign coun­tries.
In 1914, however, we were still
a net debtor to the rest of the world.
That is, other countries had more
invested here than we had outstand­ing
in other countries. In 1914 we
had invested in other countries $2.6
billion of which nearly half ($1.2 bil­lion)
was in Central America. The
next most important-region was Can­ada
where we had invested three-quarters
of a billion dollars. Then
came in order, Europe with a little
over a third of a billion, Australia
with $175,000,000 and South America
with $100,000,000.
"The World War made a radical
change in the space of a few years
in our position as an investing nation.
The unprecedented demand for muni­tions,
supplies of all kinds and for
food could not be secured on short
notice by the belligerent's out of their
own resources. They turned, conse­quently,
to the United States as the
most powerful neutral to furnish
these goods. We secured in return
gold. In addition to this, American
securities held in Europe were sold
in order to create credit balances
against which the warring nations
could draw to_pay for supplies. This
was important because it meant the
virtual liquidation of a greater part
of Europe's investments in this coun­try.
We were ceasing to be a debtor.
The tremendous demand continued.
But the bills could not be paid with
gold, goods or securities and we be­gan
to take the credit paper of the
Allies. That is, instead of being a
debtor, we were now rapidly becom­ing
a creditor of the world. That is,
our investments abroad were increas­ing
enormously. The post-war~period
saw no diminution in the demands
made for American capital to rehabil­itate
European industry. Moreover,
the burden of reparations created an
additional demand for American
funds in Germany. The result of all
these circumstances was a great in­crease
in our foreign loans in Europe.
But that was not the whole story.
While Europe was engaged in burn­ing
up its capital assets, neutral
countries and those formerly depend­ent
upon Europe for funds, now be­gan
to look to the United States. The
increase in our foreign investments,
therefore, was not confined to Europe,
but was world-wide in its scope.
"By January 1, 1930, our total for­eign
investments (excluding war
debts) amounted to some $16.6 bil­lion,
of which $5.1 billion was in
Europe which now takes first place.
Canada, where American capital has
been encroaching on British capital,
takes second place with $4.3 billion.
Central America, in first place in
1914, has now dropped to third place
with $2.9 billion. In South America,
American capital encroaehed on Brit­ish
and German capital during and
after the war and it now ranks (1930)
fourth with $2.7 billion. There fol­low
in order Australia with $925,-
837,000 and a miscellaneous group
with $459,385,000.
"In the Fall of 1929 the world eco­nomic
crisis was precipitated, but in
spite of this fact, 1930 witnessed an
increase in our foreign investments
of close to a billion dollars. South
America as a field of investment moves
up over Central America. Our total
foreign investments on January 1,
1931 amounted to $17.5 billion. To
this should be added the $11.6 bil­lion
due on the war debts under fund­ing
agreements, making a grand total
of some $29.1 billion. This amounts
to roughly 1100 per cent of the 1914
figure. That is, we now have a stake
in the rest of the world eleven times
as great as in 1914.
"For the protection and defense of
such a stake we must be able to put
forth the required political and mili­tary
effort. We must speak and act
with authority. We must assume the
panoply of empire on the political side
for we have the substance of empire
already in the economic sphere. It is
no accident that we now have our
warships anchored at Shanghai and
