FULLY EQUIPPED
Building Constructed At Cost
Of $5,000; Council Is Con­gratulated
More than 200 people were guests
of the town of Auburn at a recep-^for delivery to students on May 2,
tion Friday evening for the purpose
of dedicating the new town hall.
Visitors were received by Mayor W.
D. Copeland and other members of
the Council, they being Prof. J. C.
Grimes, Prof. C. L. Hare, W. D. Mar­tin,
Homer Wright, and Felton Little.
The new town hall with new furn­iture
and equipment represents an
expenditure of $5,000. It is modern
throughout, the building being locat­ed
on Gay Street adjoining the lot
on which the new postoffice building
is to be located. The structure is of
brick and stucco. Brick from the old
grammar school was used and stuc­coed.
In the building is space for the
fire truck, an office for the town
clerk, a council room, a storage room
and living quarters for members of
the fire department.
Many visitors expressed themsel­ves
as being delighted with the build­ing
and its contents. Mayor Cope-land
and members of the council re­ceived
many congratulations.
Botegha Installed As
Member of Scarab; To
Be Thirteenth Temple
The local honorary architectural
fraternity Botegha, whose petition
was accepted by Scarab, national ar­chitectural
fraternity, was formally
initiated Saturday afternoon. Wil­liam
Connor of Cincinnati, activity
chairman of the national organiza­tion
came here to take charge of the
installation ceremonies.
Upon completion of the initiation
of officers the remaining members of
the fraternity were initiated. With
the exception of Professor Reeves,
who was already a member of Sca­rab,
the following members were init­iated:
William Bartoldous, Virgil
Callaham, Charles F. Davis, Harry
W. Dearing, Hugh W. Ellis, B. A.
England, John R. Farris, Eugene H.
Gray, James Lake Parker, J. D. Sim­mons
and Henry L. Wailes. The fac-ulty
members were: F. W. Appleby,
F. C. Biggin, dean, E. W. Burkhardt,
F. M. Orr, Keith G. Reeve, Roy Har­vard
Staples and Max Williams.
Alumni members whom were initiat­ed
were George Brinson and Fred
Renneker, of Birmingham. Officers
of the fraternity are: Virgil Calla­ham,
president; Hugh W. Ellis, vice-president;
Hugh W. Dearing, secre­tary
and treasurer.
The acceptance and installation of
Botegha at the recent convention held
in Cincinnati, marks the climax of
an eightvyear period in which it has
sought a charter in the Temple of
Scarab. It as quite coincidental
that the firts Temple of Scarab south
of Virginia was installed here on the
twenty-fifth anniversary of the
founding of the department of archi­tecture,
which is the oldest in the
South.

GLOMERATA TO BE
READY BY MAY 1
Farris Announces Plans Of
New Book; Saturday Dead­line
For Beauties
The 1932 Glomerata will be ready
according to present plans of the
staff. Every effort is being ma_de
now to compile copy for the book
and to have it in the hands of the
printer and engraver by the 1,5th of
February. If this is donje, early de­livery
of the book has been assured.
A modern note will be carried out
in the make-up of this year's book,
making it radically different from all
preceding publications. In the ath­letic
section, there will appear a two-page
spread of the football squad,
honoring the team which bids fair to
be the precursors of better gridiron
days at Auburn.
John Farris, editor, said that en
tries for the beauty section could not
be accepted after January 30. All
seniors whose pictures appear in the
book must supply the Glomerata
with the necessary information to
accompany their photographs before
date, he said.
Local Kiwanians Take
Stand On U. S. Defense
Dr. Moore Added To
English Department
Dr. J. R. Moore, Ph.D., has been
added to the English faculty with
the beginning of the second semes­ter
on January 25. Dr. Moore re­ceived
his doctorate at Harvard Uni­versity
after completing undergrad­uate
study at Tulane.
He comes to Auburn as instructor
in English and will conduct classes
in composition and literature.
The Auburn Kiwnais Club, at their
meeting Monday, took a stand in be­half
of an adequate standing army
and sent a telegram to Senator Hugo
Black and Congressman Litser Hill
accordingly. The telegram was pro­posed
by Dr. R. S. Sugg, a member
of the club and World War veteran,
and president, Third District Chap­ter,
Reserved Officers Association.
The telegram reads as follows: "We
urge you to use your power and in­fluence
to prevent the drastic cut in
army appropriations as contemplat­ed.
We feel it unwise to emascu­late
the national defense act, the
only adequate plan of defense our
country has ever had, in face of un­settled
world conditions."
A special program observing the
founding of Kiwanis Clubs in Jan­uary,
1915, was presented by the
committee on Kiwanis Education, of
which Lan Lipscomb is chairman.
Prof. John W. Roe, a member of the
club, was the speaker.
In discussing "High Idealism" of
Kiwanis Clubs, other organizations,
and individuals, Prof. Roe declared
that "righteous indignation should be
combined with high idealism. With­out
righteous indignation he insist­ed
that needed changes will not be
made and that numerous abuses will

- Discovery of the elusive element
No. 87, which was reported last year
by Dr. Fred Allison, is confirmed in
a report of Dr. J. L. McGhee, of
Emory University, to the Journal of
the American Chemical Society.
News of this was received through
the press Wednesday morning, the
same being an Associated Press ar­ticle
from Atlanta.
Since Dr. Allison made his an-nouncement
last year a controversy
was started by Prof. Jacob Papish,
of Cornell University. Other chem­ists,
however, concurred heartily in
the work of Dr. Allison, with the re­port
of Dr. McGhee being a climax.
Dr. Allison was the discoverer also
of element No. 85, these being the
two last unknown in the universe.
It was only after many years of
experiments that this element could
be isolated and then only by using
a magneto-optic machine designed by
the discover.
A direct light is thrown through
glass filters and nicol prisms which
affect the rays passing through a
standard solution of carbon bisul­fide.
Directly behind the standard
solution is placed the "unknown" so­lution.
The scientist is trying to
determine what is in the "unknown"
solution. Wires connect the two
tubes with a scale built overhead. The
scale has a trolley controlled by a
pulley, just below a peep-hole.
The light becomes dim at a cer­tain
point for each compound pres­ent.
This point is indicated by fig­ures
on the scale, where the trolley
stopped. Reference to a table pre­pared
by Dr. Allison shows what is
in the solution. Dr. McGhee said
this method had been checked by
the slower method of qualitative
analysis and found accurate.
Later Dr. Allison reported the dis­covery
of element 85 on the same
machine. He named the element, a
non-metal, "Alabamine." He found
"Alabamine" before completing his
tests on Virginium.

of the leaders in the class for regu­lar
naval aviators at the Pensacola
Naval Station, according to informa­tion
received here. After graduating
here, in 1931, young King went to
Floyd Bennett Field at Brooklyn,
where he completed the naval re­serve-

DR. PETRIE DISCUSSES LEE AND
WASHINGTON AT KIWANIS CLUB
In his address to the Auburn Ki­wanis
Club, Monday,' Dr. George
Petrie, professor of history and dean
of the graduate school here, declared
that General Robert E. Lee and Gen­eral
George Washington were the
two greatest American army gen­erals.
He was inclined to place
General Lee as the greater of the
two, in view of the fact that General
Washington was supported by Amer­ican
troops and also French troops
while General Lee's support was con­fined
to the Southern States which
were overwhelmed w i t h U n i on
forces.
The speaker named "Courage to
achieve" as perhaps the greatest at­tribute
of General Left He praised
him for his real and genuine char­acter,
as well as for a mastery of
military tactics and also his ability
as a statesman, although he never
held a public office.
"Had General Lee decided to re»-
main in the Federal army and be
placed in command as he was prom­ised
it is probable that he would
have been elected president, as Gen­eral
Grant was," he said. , "If, on
the other hand, the Confederate army
had been victorious General Lee
doubtless would have been the next
elected president of the Confederate
States."
The address was delivered by Dr.
Petrie on the eve of the anniversary
of General Lee's birthday, January
19.
Another feature of the meeting
was Ed Malmberg, representative of
Kiwanis International. He said that
Kiwanis Clubs and other luncheon
clubs have their biggest opportuni­ties
during times of depression when
men of the town must band together
and work together for the good of
all concerned.
Dr. Charles H. Herty, consulting
chemist at the Alabama Polytechnic
Institute, has been awarded the med­al
of the American Institute of Chem­ists
for "noteworthy and outstand­ing
service to the science and pro­fession
of chemistry in America."
News of this was received at Au­burn
today, coming direct from New
York.
Last year the award was made to
secretary of the treasury, Andrew
W. Mellon and his brother, Richard
B. Mellon, for establishing the Mel­lon
Institute.
It was given this year to Dr. Herty
in recognition of his efforts over a
long period of years in behalf of
American chemists and the Ameri­can
chemical industry.
- His most recent research work has
been done in Georgia, his native
state, on the paper pulp possibilities
of the slash pine. This work is be­ing
perfected for commercial use in
a new laboratory built for the state
of Georgia by the chemical founda­tion.
"Dr^Herty first made himself felt
as an economic influence when his
early researches at the University of
Georgia revolutionized the turpen­tine
and naval stores industry,"
Frederick E. Breithu, president of
the institute, said, - •
"The Herty method of collecting
turpentine greatly increased the pro­ductiveness
of the pines. Other dis­coveries
corrected wasteful methods
of turpentine orcharding and con­served
the forests." v
Dr. Herty vists Auburn each month
and delivers special lectures on chem­istry
for students and faculty. In
addition he confers with research
chemists at Auburn on the different
research projects on which they are
working.
Others who have received this
awarde are George Eastman, for mak­ing
fine organic chemicals available
to American chemists, Mr. and Mrs.
Francis P. Garvan, who established
the chemical foundation.
Dr. Herty will receive the award
at the annual meeting of the Ameri­can
institute of chemists in New
York next May.

Peck's Bad Boy Of The Music World Is Rapidly Maturing
Into A Respected Branch Of The Art, Says Pianist And
Instructor In Music Here
Plans Announced For
20th Summer Session
Plans for the 20th Summer Ses­sion
of the Alabama Polytechnic In­stitute
were announced this week by
Dean Zebulon Judd of the school of
education. Summer study will con­sist
of one full quarter of two six-weeks
terms. The first to begin June
6* and the second July 18, contin­uing
through August 20.
The Summer Session is designed to
meet the needs of three groups of
students: teachers over the State
wishing to complete requirements for
a college degree, teachers wishing to
earn the Master's degree, and Au­burn
students who desire extra cred­i
t for summer work. -
Dean Judd will again follow his
long-established custom of bringing
to the Summer Session a number of
outstanding professors from other
colleges and universities to augment
the regular college faculty. ,
A summer session catalogue, car­rying
a full outline of summer
courses, will be issued in the near
future.

Jazz music, Peck's Bad Boy in the
musical world, is rapidly maturing
into a more respected musical citi­zen.
Great musicians still look, upon
him suspiciously but they are great­ly
interested in his ultimate outcome.
- This is the conclusion of Prof. Earl
Hazel, Auburn piano instructor, who
says that the greatest musicians to­day
are attracted by jazz and play
it if they can. Some people will nev­er
be able either to play or enjoy
jazz for they cannot overcome their
prejudice against it and still others
lack innate talent necessary to under­stand
jazz.
"American jazz is-the jester in the
court of music for it often'borrows
from the themes of classical music
and transforms them into snappy
dance tunes," said Professor Hazel.
"Artists jazz-up the master pieces of
painting in cartoons—jazz musicians
do the same with the staid melodies
of the old masters. Many of the
hottest dance tunes of the day con­tain
liberal 'steals' from great clas­sical
tunes. In other words, jazz is
a method which may be applied to
any type of music. Even great sacred
music may be played effectively in
the jazz form. But the jazz musicians
should create their own tunes," he
added.
"Words contained in jazz music
are worse than the melodies," con­tinued
Professor Hazel, who believes
that the jazz poets rather than the
jazz musicians should be blamed by
those who dislike this form of music."
"Instead of being new, jazz is one
*of the oldest forms of music. It is a
fundamental, human expression, first
manifested by primitive African ne­groes.
Having deyeloped as an ac­companiment
for savage dances, a
form of worship, it is basically
rhythmic. The Christian Church de­stroyed
everything pagan and there­fore
did away with rhythm in sacred
music for worship. Before, this,
rhythm was the chief element of
music. As early as 1525 people sang
meaningless syllables in churches in
much the same manner as the pres­ent
'do, do, di, do, etc'."
"Even jazz in America is over 300
years old, making its appearance
when brought from Africa to Amer­ica
by slaves in chains. It lived and
flourished among the Southern negro,
and with our industrialization it has
begun to fit well into our .machine
age as a needed form of relaxation.
"Jazz takes its name from a negro
jazz musician, Jas. Brown of New
Orleans, where jazz first flourished
in America. Within two years peo­ple
in all parts of the United States-with
the exception of New England
were enjoying jazz.. By 1926, 200,-
000 musicians were playing jazz ar­ranged
by 30,000 composers. 'Jazz
musicians were making five times as

ROOP BEGINS DUTIES
IN JOURNALISM HERE
New Addition To Faculty To
Instruct Classes in English
and Journalism
Joseph E. Roop, newly-elected in­structor
in journalism and English
at Auburn, arrived here Thursday
evening to begin his duties for the
second * semester. Professor Roop,
who has enjoyed a wide experience
in newspaper and free-lance writing,
will teach several classes in journal­ism
and English.
He received his Master's Degree
last June at the famous school of
journalism of the University of Mis­souri,
where he studied under Dean
Walter Williams, who has recently
been elected president of the Univer­sity.
He was awarded the A.B. de­gree
in 1926 at the Missouri State
Teachers' College, Warrensburg, Mo.
—his hometown.
. Following graduation Mr. Roop
went to Hawaii to teach English,
journalism, and social science in the
Hilo High School. During vacations
he was employed as a special writer
on the "Hilo Tribune-Herald."
In cooperation with an associate,
Mr. Roop established a weekly news­paper
at Hilo, "The Hilo Free Press"
during his last year in Hawaii. The
publication proved highly successful
and is still flourishing under the man­agership
of his former partner.
Free-lancing and feature writing
has held much interest for Mr. Roop,
a number of his articles having been
published by important magazines.
He has had fiction stories carried in
various juvenile magazines. The
September 1931 issue of "The Amer­ican
Press" published one of his
stories and "The American Journal
of Health and Physical Education"
has' accepted another story for the
issue.

arid is interested in education and re­search
relating to the textile indus­try.
This comas as an important honor
to Prof. Camp and is considered a
compliment to the newly-established
School of Textile Engineering at
Auburn.
Funeral services for James Whittle
Griffin, of Maplesville, Alabama, a
junior in the agricultural depart­ment,
were held at Marbury, Ala­bama,
Monday afternoon. Griffin
died in the East Alabama Hospital in
Opelika, shortly after mid-night Sat­urday
night as a result of injuries
received when he was struck down
by a car out of Opelika, at 9 o'clock
Saturday night. He was the son of
Mr. and Mrs. J. D. Griffin, of Maples­ville.
Miller Sheppard, a sophomore in
agriculture, was injured at the same
time, but was released from the hos­pital
Monday.
The two students were struck by
an automobile driven by Watson Sal­ter,
of Opelika. The accident was
described as unavoidable by the driv­er
of the car, who with a party of
friends had driven out the West
Point highway and were returning to
Opelika, when the accident occurred.
It was stated that the lights on
the Salter car failed to throw any
great distance because of a slight
rain and that his vision was impared
by the glare of the lights on the wet
pavement. The^accident occurred on
the right side of the road as the stu­dents
were walking in the direction
of Opelika after failing to catch
rides a short distance out on the
highway. They were hit on the legs
and the impact threw them back­ward.
Griffin received a severe head
injury and died without regaining
consciousness.
26 DEGREES AWARDED AT MID­YEAR
GRADUATION EXERCISES
Degrees to 26 students were
awarded by President Bradford
Knapp, of the Alabama Polytechnic
Institute, at the regular mid-year
commencement exercises Thursday
evening in Langdon Hall. Three of
the degrees were Masters of Science
and the remaining 23 were Bache­lors
of Science awarded, in the va­rious
divisions of the college.
The values one should get from a
college education were discussed by
Dr. George Petrie, dfean of the grad­uate
school, who delivered the bac­calaureate
address. Education has
long been concerned with assessing
new values to the various phases of
our civilization, and it has viewed
critically at all theories, ideas, and
practices. The ability to place the
proper evaluation on elements in
our modern life was pointed to by
Dr. Petrie as an ability an educated
man should possess.
The musical part of the exercises
was furnished by J. W. Brigham,
head of the department of music, and
Earl Hazel, instructor in piano.
Degrees were awarded to the fol­lowing
graduates:
Bachelor of Science in Agriculture
—John Gray Goodman, Mobile;

Mid-Term Dances Are
Acclaimed Success By
Two Hundred Visitors
One of the most enjoyable and en­tertaining
sets of dances in the his­tory
of Auburn was presented by
the Social Committee during the past
week-end. Approximately two hund­red
girls from all parts of the South
were visitors for the occasion as
guests of six fraternities.
Bernie Cummins and his New
Yorkers were engaged to play for
the dances and presented the numer­ous
tunes which have made them one
of the nations most famous orches­tras.
Several novelty numbers were
introduced by the orchestra amid
continuous applause by the merry­makers.
Miss Virginia Flowers of Mont­gomery
was selected to lead the
grand march of the Junior Ball on
Friday night and had as her escort
Robert P. Greer, president of the
Junior Class.
Among the organizations which
were hosts at the day dances was
the Red Shirt Society, making its
debut on this campus. The members
donned red shirts for their dance
and caused quite a bit of controversy
among the students as to their pur­pose
and actions. The other day
dances were presented by the Inter-fraternity
Council, "A" Club, and
Keys.
Numerous banquets, bouffet sup­pers,
and private parties contributed
to the glamor of the three days, to
the intense pleasure of both students
and guests.
The decorations were arranged to
represent the domain of Satan with
an enormous mask of the archangel
glaring down upon the dancers. The
lighting effects were regulated to
carry out the effects of sparks flying
throughout the gymnasium, being ef­fectively
set off by two large crystal
balls on which were played a num­ber
of spot lights.

COMPROMISE?
After much deliberation the heads of the
institution have seen fit to inaugurate the
practice of suspending students who have
been so unfortunate as to be the two or
three out of several hundreds who were ap­prehended
and found guilty of receiving
aid on final examinations through channels
which have been termed unorthdox. It is
an indesputable fact that such practices
have been made throughout the entire
school for many years. The honor system
was attempted but the additional freedom
for use of unfair means became so preva­lent
.that the experiment was allowed to
die an unnatural death. A few faint ef­forts
have been made since to halt the
practice of cheating both during the exam­ination
period and at other times. Some
few students were brought before the au­thorities
and after a period of pleas these
same students were allowed to remain in
school with no further penalty placed upon
them. Two years ago numberless sets of
term examinations questions were taken
from faculty offices or were secured by
means of bribe from lesser employees of
the institution. Much talk followed this
outburst of dishonesty and everyone agreed
that some step must be taken to curb the
unhealthy condition. The outcome of one
of these steps ended in a mis-carriage of
justice for several students. In another in­stance
over half of one class registered in
the institution handed in definite proof that
they had secured examination qeustions
previous to the time the examination was
scheduled to be held. Evidence in writing
was ignored for action against so many
students would be too great a smudge
against the purity of the school; friends
throughout the state might be disillusioned.
The only action taken was interdepartment­al
and the entire affair was regarded as a
lesson to those who made out questions be­fore
coming to the examination room.
Only one department has taken the initi­ative
to push the matter to an end that
students were required to leave school. The
entire business is an insult to the entire
school as one or two students leave while
hundreds who are as guilty or more guilty
than they remain to carry on their illegal
practices. The crux of the whole matter
may be summarized in one pointed ques­tion:
Why set an unjust example of a
few and allow the rest to go free? It is an
old and rather crude question of the "Whole
hog or none". Compromising issues has
never resulted in a definite and satisfactory
end. As long as there are students in this
college or any college there will be a cer­tain
amount of cheating; some plan must
be formulated to meet this or the students
who have been asked to leave should be
recalled, apologized to and the entire busi­ness
be filed as a dead issue, one too large
to be handled in a just manner.
Illegality in school work has been dis­cussed
too often to make a prolonged state­ment
concerning it. It is an obvious fact
that only those who use such means to
reach an end are affected. They are cer­tainly
old enough to know right from wrong
and no amount of punishment can change
them. Leave the issue up to them ;it is
for them to. decide whether they wish to
have a true accounting when they end their
college careers. The persecution of no one
man will end this question. We call for
all or none at all.
The old-time business man who took
the cash to the bank each day now has
a son who employs a secretary to sign his
personal checks.
WRITTEN OPINIONS
It has always been the custom of this
paper to print the written opinions of any
member of the student body. A correct
solution of many campus problems is
reached by the open discussion of them and
by their logical presentation. Many of
the editorials and columns printed in the
Plainsman set forth principles decried and
disputed on the campus; but it is a rare
thing for anyone to present his troubles
through the student paper.
The Plainsman has always stood for
freedom of the press insofar as the matter
printed is neither slanderous nor libelious.
We believe that the whole truth should be
printed; we have always endeavored to
give a full account of the facts, leaving
out nothing that might bear weight on the
matter at hand.
It is to be hoped that during the coming
semester we shall have the pleasure of
printing written expressions of opinions
from the student body; any signed letters
to the editor will be printed, and the writ­er
thereof will be given every consideration.
To defend the limited privileges of free
speech, which we now have, let us speak.
PREXY'S PARAGRAPHS
- By Bradford Knapp =
T h e M i d - Winter
Dances were enjoy­able
in every way.
The music was fine.
We entertained a very
fine group of young
women and the entire
affair was a credit to
the Social Committee.
The decorations were
unique and attractive and the music was
excellent.
* * * *
The only drawback to the Mid-Winter
Dances was a serious deficit in the finances.
I realize that it is difficult for the Social
Committee to figure accurately what the in-coirie
is going to be but certainly something
must be done to enable the Social Commit­tee
to make both ends meet because the
dances must be self-sustaining. The chair­man
of the Social Committee has gone over
the accounts with me carefully. We have
analyzed the situation and I am compelled
to say the only reason for the dificit lies
in the number of free admissions or com­plimentary
tickets given out. The chair­man
of the Social Committee has tried to
do the right thing. He has been fully
aware of the constant pressure for com­plimentary
tickets. It is apparent to any­one
who knows the situation that the free
ticket privilege must receive much more
careful consideration by the Executive Cab­inet,
the student body and by those of us
who are responsible for the dances and for
making them pay. We cannot expect the
Social Committee to be hampered in put­ting
on a dance by this constant pressure
for free tickets. For example, the rules
provide that the Social Committee shall re­ceive
three transferable tickets and it is
understood that they receive one non-trans­ferable
ticket for each member. The com­mittee
consist's of ten members, one ticket
each of the members of the committee and
three transferable tickets means a loss of
$400.00. This alone would have made up
the entire deficit of the recent dances. But
the Social Committee alone is not entirely
to blame. I firmly believe that they should
reduce the number of free tickets to the
Social Committee to one non-transferable
and one transferable ticket. The Execu­tive
Cabinet has demanded tickets for each
member. There represent a loss of $110.00.
The rules provide that the President of
the Executive Cabinet is entitled to one
non-transferable ticket. In years gone by
the "A" Club used to receive, five tickets
and they have felt that ought to be con­tinued.
At the recent dances this repre­sented
a loss of $290.00 for twenty-nine
free tickets given to the "A" Club. The"
rules provide that the President and Treas­urer
of the "A" Club and the Captain and
Manager of the sport of the preceding sea­son
each receive one non-transferable tick­et.
One ticket was issued, which was ac­cording
to the rules, to a member of the
Plainsman staff and one was issued to the
President of the Inter-Fraternity Council.
The Social Committee faces a very difficult
situation with a deficit of approximately
$350.00, largely, if not entirely, due to the
free ticket system. It is apparent that this
system cannot be continued and I earnestly
urge the Social Committee, the Executive
Cabinet and the others concerned to get
together and fix a set of rules regarding
these free admissions, especially of the
transferable character which will come
within reasonable bounds and that we plan
together how we may raise the necessary
funds to make up for this deficit. Of course
we could cut down on the cost of the or­chestra
and that is an item worthy of con­sideration.
But I have noted that the bet­ter
the orchestra, the better the attend­ance.
Likewise the cost of decorations
could certainly be cut down. We have all
been proud of the fine artistic talent dis­played
in the various plans of decorations
which we have seen in the past few years
but the matter is one for earnest consider­ation.
Would it not be wise to curtail all
transferable tickets to one each to the So­cial
Committee, outside of their own ad­mission,
and certainly a limited number to
athletes, one to the Executive Cabinet, one
to the Plainsman, and let it stop there? I
am writing this merely to bring it to the
attention of the student body. We must
face the situation and work it out.

I think the most difficult and disagree­able
function of any educational institution
is that of administering punishment. I have
always felt that the best phlosophy was to
try to prevent men and women from doing
the wrong thing by an appeal to reason and
to education but there always comes a time
when punishment must be administered.
Human society from the very beginning
has had to have its rules of conduct and
has been compelled to visit punishment up­on
those who violate these rules. It is
pretty hard when those, of whom we expect
much and whom we know in better mom­ents
to have such fine characteristics, such
good companionship, let go and display the
most objectionable side of their character
in actions which cannot be tolerated and
must be punished. In the end the desire of
every institution ought to be to build char­acter
and not to destroy it. But a part of
the task of making character is to forcibly
bring young men and young women to real­ize
the error of their way and sometimes
this has to be done so that a change may
be made and the' individual compelled to
take hold of himself, exert better control
and stop definitely the tendency toward
those things which destroy the very use­fulness
of life itself. I am glad to testify
that I have never punished anyone in anger
or in resentment or with any other motive
except maintenance of the dignity of the
institution itself with a keen regard for
the best interest of the individual as well.
It is a hard thing to do but sometimes it
has to be done.
* * * *
There have been a number of instances
recently when the College Council had felt
that students should be punished for cheat­ing
on examinations. This punishment has
resulted in the suspension of some students
from the instiution. The cases; were clear
and unmistakable. The present temper of
the Council is to administer punishment by
way of suspension from college to those
who have clearly been guilty of unfair prac­tice*
in the course of examinations or in the
doing of any other work required by the
institution. One of the great things about
an education is that you cannot steal it.
The only way a real education can be ob­tained
is by hard work and plenty of it.
I have thought a good deal lately about
Honor Societies. I belong to a number of
them. I know sometimes their member­ship
is dictated by favoritism or personal
pull. I am afraid that there are other
cases where men strive for grades for the
purpose of getting into an Honor Society.
I do not believe that either of these two
classes should ever belong to a real Honor
Fraternity. Elections to an Honor Fra­ternity
ought to be the product of steady,
constant, honest work toward an educa­tion
without thought of profit and advant­age
save and except the advantage which
comes to anyone who is willing to put forth
that kind of an effort. There is another
honor that is worth a great deal more than
any society key and that is the honor which
is bound up in self-respect, character and
moral worth. If I knew how to choose its
membership I would like to organize a real
Honor Society composed of those who had
too much honor to cheat on an examination
and who were willing to accept a lower
grade rather than compromise their own
conscience or their own standard of hon­orable
conduct. Personally I do not be­lieve
that any great percentage of the stu­dent
body at this or any other institution
are dishonorable in any sense of the word.
I do believe on the part of the faculty and
students we need to put real honor and in­tegrity
in our conduct in getting an educa­tion
above everything else. The few cases
which have come to our attention so re­cently
have been the products of thought­lessness
or indifference to good standards
of conduct. In every case there has been a
very prompt reaction of sincere regret and
determination not to permit a habit which
will injure one's life to take, hold of the in­dividual.
The very wonderful mother of
one of these boys told me that she was glad
her son was caught because now we might
all work together to help him build that sort
of an irreproachable character which she
wants him to have and which she knows he
must have in order to be a success in life.
It takes fine character and moral worth to
be able to make such a statement. I shall
not worry about the son of such a mother.
He will come out all right in the end and
I hope to live to help him do so.

WITH OTHER COLLEGES
Probably the most unpopular man in Mis­sissippi
with the college students, and ex­cluding
Bilbo, is the legislator who intro­duced
a bill in the Mississippi legislature
making it illegal to hitch-hike on state high­ways.
And, not content with simply bar­ring
the practice, the bill, provides means
of enforcement, with a penalty of 25 dol­lars
or 30 days in jail for the person who
is unlucky enough to be caught at this cor­rupt
act. We in Alabama can be thankful
that our lawmakers concern themselves
with the levying of taxes on cigarettes and
gasoline, and not with taking away the
freedom of the people.
* * * *
And, still on the subject of freedom, some
readers of this column may remember in
the last issue, several months ago, we com­mented
on certain activities of the Ameri­can
Legion in the realm of education. 'At
the University of Detroit a professor of
sociology incurred the dislike of the Legion
by speaking against the establishment of
an R. O. T. C. course in the school. The
Legion, my, my, got buthy, thaluted the
flag, muttered "We love our country", and
begged the Board of Regents of the Uni­versity
to discharge the bad traitor because
of seditious utterance.
Now ladies and gentlemen comes the big
surprise! The Board of Regents refused
to consider the petition! "We regard free­dom
of speech as one of the inherent rights
of an American citizen", they announced,
"and we do not propose to hold it against
anyone because he has spoken his thoughts.

I must be in a peculiarly pessimistic mood
today, for, from the multitude of college
papers which came during exam week, the
editorial which pleased me most was the
one below. "After all, why be hypocrites?"
asks the editor of the Oredigger of the Col­orado
School of Mines. The R. M. I. P.
mentioned is the collegiate press associ­ation
of the Rocky Mountain conference.
"At the risk of offending some of our
fellow editors in the R. M. I. P.—The
Oredigger is a member of that organi­zation—
may we ask just what is the
use of so much ballyhoo about "a con­dition
that, far from needing exposing,
needs developing?
"The Oredigger is convinced, in com­plete
agreement with President Selig
of the R. M. I. P., that there is con­siderable
subsidizing and other forms
of illegitimate athletic recruiting, go­ing
on in the Rocky Mountain Confer­ence.
But what of it? The same con­dition
exists at practically every insti­tution
in the country that has a foot­ball
team.
"We can say, here at Mines, that
there is no subsidizing. But we are
not particularly proud of it—no Miner
likes to have a losing team, year in and
year out. Personally, we should like
to see a handful of good athletes
brought to Mines. We should like to
trounce some of our neighbors occa­sionally.
We should like to have a
chance to brag about a Mines team for
winning games. Instead of receiving
favorable comment from the sports
editors of various papers for our
'fighting spirit' we should like to get
' a little publicity as a result of an over­whelming
victory over Colorado Uni­versity,
and some of the others on the
throne.
"As we have stated before in this
column, we recognize the fact that sub­sidizing
exists in the R. M. C. schools.
But since it seems to be popular with
all concerned, what of it?"

"Cantor is possibly the most congen­ial
soul in the world despite the fact
that he is on the go every moment.
The radio, magazines, the stage, and a
million telephone calls would wear out
a normal man, but Cantor seems to
bear up well. During the interview
there were at least twenty phone calls
and he answered them all patiently.
" 'Mr. Cantor,' I began, 'what do you
think of . . . '
" 'Yes, yes,' he said, 'Columbus is a
very fine town.'
" 'Er-er—what do you think of a . . .'
" 'A college education is a fine thing.'

And just a little social note from Boston,
as reported in the Tulane Hullabaloo:
"Earlier in the year Boston Univer­sity
co-eds wrote a letter to the men of
the football team stating that they
would not date them unless the team
won a football game. Finally, the team
managed to come out on the long end
of a score, and, in retaliation to the
aforementioned epistle, they sent a
letter to the co-eds saying that even
though the team had won a game, the
girls would not get a date from any
man on the team. Furthermore, they
added that none of the gridsters ever
did and never would date any of these
fickle, frivolous co-eds, who would not-stick
by the team through thick and
thin."

EDITOR'S NOTE: The opinions expressed in this
column are not necessarily the editorial opinions of
this paper. It is a column of personal comment,
and is not to be read as an expression of our
editorial policy.
It is customary in these modern times to
scoff at everything that scents of the old-fashioned.
Honor, personal pride, self re­spect,
and common honesty have become
things of a forgotten age in the minds of
most of the Auburn student body. The
most blatant form which dishonesty takes
in Auburn is in cheating on examinations
and quizes. The. words written on the
blackboards of many of the Samford Hall
rooms seem to scream out in scornful mock­ery;
just what does the student think when
he looks up and sees "Honor System" star­ing
him in the face? No doubt he thinks
of respectable young men, of horse.-hair
sofas, of horse-drawn carriages, of virtu­ous
maids, and of all those things which
are symbolic of the manners of the last
century. It is most unfortunate that the
modern age and the greed for power should
have destroyed all sense of honor in the
minds of present-day students; when the
Great* War uprooted Victorianism, it also
shattered the ideal of common honesty for
which the American people had long been
noted. _,
But let us adapt the facts to the Au­burn
student body. To say that there is
no cheating here would be an unforgivable
lie; to say that only a few students em­ploy
illicit means to pass their examina­tions
would be an equally great prevarica­tion.
Let us face the facts and admit that
MOST of the Auburn students cheat on
examinations. Is there one to challenge
this statement. And what is going to be
done about it? The Honor System has
proved a failure, a disgraceful failure; the
students are not goin gto report the short­comings
of their fellows. The professors
are becoming as indifferent about the whole
matter as the students have been for the
past several years; the past examinations
were no tests of scholastic progress, but
rather a display of skilful dishonesty.
These are facts, cold facts. Some say
that the publication of them will injure
the school, that people all over the state
will read this and be horrified. And their
horror will be justified. What we have said
has been the whole, raw truth, and if the
institution can not stand this presentation
of facts it should close its doors.
So far there is no remedy for the present
deplorable situation. Everything has fail­ed.
It remains with the student body
whether this will be a real institution of
learning, whether it will maintain its repu­tation
throughout the country, and wheth­er
its graduates will be really educated
men and women.

J.A.DRIVER, MANAGER-Bang!
Bang! Two shots from the
pistol of a frontier ruffian had killed
the bartender at Ft. Supply, Kansas.
It was back in the days when justice,
if any, was usually administered on
the spot, and in less than five min­utes
the murderer was swinging from
a tree just outside the Sutler's store.
This and other events just as e'x-citing
were observed by Master Ser­geant
Charles Livingston, of the Au­burn
R. O. T. C. unit in his early days
as an army recruit which he began
in 1894. He enlisted in Detroit,
Mich., as a 17-year old farm boy from
Ohio. This rough-and-ready school
of experience found in the "old
army" taught Sergeant Livingston
the valuable lessons which have clung
with him through more than 30 years
of army service.
Now a veteran of the Philippine
Insurrection and the Spanish-Amer­ican
and World Wars, he is soon to
reach retirement age with a com­mendable
term of service to his cred­it.
A medal "in his possession bear­ing
the words "Philippine Insurrec­tion,
1899" vouches for his heroic
service to his country in that time
of national emergency. Similar
medals are among his mementos giv­ing
evidence of service -in the other
two wars. In addition, he prizes
highly a citation for exceptional
bravery in France. Dated June 1,
1919, and signed by Major Crissy,
brigade adjutant,* A. E. F., 1st In­fantry
Brigade Headquarters, Set­ters,
Germany, the document states
that Sergeant Livingston, was cited
by the Brigade Commander for "gal­lant
conduct and self-sacrificing spirit
displayed during the battles of
Aisne-Marne, St. Mihiel and Meuse-
Argonne." The success of these en­gagements
were due to the efforts
and spirit of officers and enlisted men
among which he was listed. One of
ihs medals indicates that he was en­gaged
in nine important battles of
the World War: Sommerviller, Au-sauville,
Picardy, Cantigny, Second
Marne, St. Mihiel, Meuse-Argonne,
Mauzon-Sedan, and Coblenz Bridge­head.
Sergeant Livingston's long years
of service has afforded him an inter­esting
picture of the changes in cus­toms
from those of the "old army"
to that of modern army life. "In
1894, at the age of seventeen, I left
my home in Ohio without the con­sent,
of my father to join the army,"
says Sergeant Livingston. "I found
a recruiting station in Detroit, Mich­igan,
and as I was quite a husky lad
at that time had no trouble in con­vincing
the recruiting Sergeant thai
I was already of age. I enlisted for
the Cavalry branch of service. The
Sergeant was a German and could
"just about" make himself under­stood
in his very poor English.
"The next day I was issued a uni­form.
And what a fit it was! The
issue clothes were not made to fit in
those days. I was then given a cav­alry
saber and ordered to 'walk post'
in front of the recruiting station. I
had no idea what 'walk post' meant,
but I went outside and stood there.
In a few minutes the Sergeant came
out and with a tough look on his
face ordered me to 'walk up and
down the street.' In demonstrating
how I should walk, he said, 'Hold
your head up, push out your chest,
and walk in a military manner. You
are a soldier now, and you must make
a good showing.' Well, I did my
best. But, just think of it! Born
and reared on a farm, I had never
been very far away from my own
home town. I was right from the
'sticks.' Was I green? .
"That same night I went out to
see Detroit. I remembered what the
Sergeant had said: 'You're a soldier
now. You must make a good show­ing.'
In my sightseeing I passed a
place where there was music, danc­ing,
and drinking. Everyone seemed
happy, so I went inside and drank
some beer. I thought the place won­derful.
There were girls dancing in
ways quite different from the * old
square dance to which I had been ac­customed.
Before returning to my
quarters I was severely beaten up by
three men. On checking up, I found
the following decorations: one black
eye, two bruised cheeks, bruised lips,
and one tooth missing! My general
morale was very low. Due_to my
dilapidated condition I was relieved
from walking post the remainder of
my stay at the recruiting station.
"I was getting experience, how­ever.
The lesson I received was one
of the best things that could have
happened to me. It taught me to
keep my nose out of other people's
business for had I done this my mis­hap
would have not occurred. But,
it did not lessen the desire of being
back on the farm.
"My next experience was at Jeff­erson
Barracks, Missouri. Although
I ignored other people's business, I
soon found out that more trouble was
right on hand.
"After about five days of kitchen
police (this 'honor' having been con­ferred
on me the next day after my
arrival), I overheard some of the
soldiers telling how they avoided
duty by going on the sick report. So
I decided to try my luck. I asked
the First Sergeant for permission to
go on the sick report. His answer
jvas a very emphatic 'No?' Although
there was nothing the matter with
me, I was determined to 'beat the
sick report'. I proceeded to the hos­pital,
saw the doctor, and was mark­ed
'quarters', which means I was ex­cused
from duty. Then I returned
to the quarters and found the First
Sergeant waiting for me. With a big
grin on my face I endeavored to in­form
him that I had 'pulled one over
on jjini.' Right here is where I got
more experience. The First Serge­ant
gave me a hard look and said:
'So, you went on sick report after I
told you that you could not. And, I
see, you are marked 'quarters' by the
doctor. All right, 'I'll te"ach you a
lesson'. He then called Sergeant
Gould and ordered him to take me
to the guard house. The next three
days I spent helping dig post holes.
(In the army today if one wants to
go on sick report the request is never
refused, and if marked 'quarters' by
the doctor, the soldier stays in quar­ters
and is excused from all duty.
Quite a difference in the old army
and new army systems.) After be­ing
released from the guard house I
was placed in the kitchen to scrub
kettles, pans, and. the like for four
days.
Jefferson Barracks at that time six months at a time and there were
was a training center for cavalry and
we recruits were put through six
months of intensive drill. After
about three months we were doing
regular guard duty. While on a
tour of guard duty I was standing in
the door of the Sutler's store and
Saloon. (Sutler Store was a gen­eral
store and saloon combined, han­dled
by civilians under the supervi­sion
of the War Department. In the
new army a store is called a Post Ex­change
and is under the supervision
of the commanding officer of the
army post.) I heard Sentry No. 1
call 'Halt!' three times and then he
fired twice. He had killed a prison­er
who was trying to escape. I be­came
still more homesick after see­ing
this.
"After six months training, forty
of the recruits were sent to Fort
Supply, Indian Territory, which was
120 miles from Dodge City, Kansas,
which, by the way, was the nearest
railroad station to Fort Supply at
that time. Our trip was made over­land,
as were all supply trains for
the Fort. All streams had to be
forded for there were no bridges.
After about six days we arrived at
the Fort, and when I looked the place
over I developed another case of
acute Jiomesickness.
"The Indian Territory was a
tough country at that time. Despe­radoes,
regenades, half breeds, and
Indians roamed almost at will. The
Army enlisted Indians as Scouts for
sixty enlisted scouts and their fami­lies
quartered inside the reservation
of Fort Supply. Troops stationed at
the Fort consisted of two white
troops of the Fifth Cavalry and two
colored companies of the 24th In­fantry.
Thjjre were three white wo­men
(officers' wives), some colored
women, and quite a number of In­dian
squaws.and girls at the fort.
"I was in the Sutler's Store one
evening when two men came in, each
wearing two six-shooters in the hol­sters
of their cartridge belts. For
twenty minutes they drank steadily.
All at once I heard an argument and
the words, 'You're a liar'. Two shots
were fired. One of these men had
killed the bartender. Justice was
swiftly given, however, for I am sure
it was not over five, minutes after
the shooting until he was hanged on
on a tree just outside of the Sutler's
Store. My homesickness continued
to rage."

MILITARY HEADS OF SOUTHERN
SCHOOLS MEET AT McPHERSON

AMERICAN JAZZ GAINS
FAVORABLE 'CRITICISMS

(Continued from page 1)
much "as members of symphony or
chestras. Of the $600,000,000 spent
for music in America in 1924, 80 per
cent was for jazz music. Foreign
countries have since become interest­ed
and consider jazz as distinctly
American music.
Professor Hazel believes that stu­dents
who are a"ble to play jazz are
better fitted to' play classical music
because of their increased knowledge
of rhythms and accents. Foreigners
without the American background
are not able to play jazz. However,
some can acquire the feeling for it
after living in America for some
time.
"Good jazz is at least clever," he
says, "and has reached important de­velopment
in the works of George
Gershwin and in the interpretation of
Paul Whiteman. If it continues to
improve as it has in the last 15 years
it will reach a high place in the
music of all peoples."

Renowned Orchestra
To Play In Tuskegee
The Minneapolis Symphony Or­chestra
will appear in concert at the
new auditorium of Tuskegee Insti­tute,
Thursday evening at 8:15. A
special group of choice seats has been
reserved for whites and tickets are
on sale in Auburn at the Department
of Public Information for the amaz­ingly
low price of $1.
The orchestra comes to Tuskegee
from a- matinee engagement Thurs­day
afternoon at Montgomery.
Directing the orchestra will be the
brilliant, young Hungarian, Eugene
Ormandy, who has become a sensa­tion
during the short space of a few
months in this capacity. The critics
in Philadelphia and in the Twin
Cities, Minneapolis and St. Paul,
have unanimously hailed him as one
of the great orchestral leaders of the
day.
Here is a young man, barely in
his thirties, gifted with one of the
most phenomenal memories in the
history of music. He never uses a
score, never misses a cue, he knows
how to invest his interpretations
with the indescribable quality that
inspires his audiences to unstrained
enthusiasm.
Ormandy won recognition in
Europe as a violin virtuoso. He Was
regarded as one of the outstanding
performers on his instrument when
an invitation came to make a con­cert
tour in America that held a
promise of $30,000 for the season.
