Group Contests
•Equestrian sports get away to a
flying start next Saturday afternoon
when an informal horse show in the
form of a gymkhana is held on Bill­iard
field at 2:00 o'clock. Various
feature riding events by the Ladies'
Riding Class and senior artillery stu­dents
and a polo game will constitute
the attraction.
The polo game between two teams
of *the polo squad will be the first
ever played on the Auburn campus.
Ladies classes in the gymkhana will
consist of an exhibition ride, spoon
race, and jumping. Polo classes will
feature an exhibition of the best
schooled polo pony, bending race,
stake race, and a goal shooting con­test.
There will also be a needle and
thread race, and glove race in the
pair events. In the team classes there
will be mounted wrestling by teams
from the senior and junior classes.
R. C. Brown of Centreville and Frank
Gaines of Hamilton, Ga., are cap­tains
of these two teams.
Prizes will consist of blue, red, and
yellow ribbons for the winners of
first, second and third place respec­tively,
and in one .or two classes of
each group cups and other trophies
will be awarded.
In the spoon race entries will be
mounted on the starting line, each
with a ball in a tablespoon. They
will race to the finish line. Any con­testant
dropping the ball may pick
it up and continue the race but no
progress toward the finish line may
be made unless the contestant has the
ball'in the spoon. The first to cross
the finish line with ball in spoon wins.
In the pair jumping a lady and a
gentleman will ride abreast taking
the jumps together and hitting or
knocking down an obstacle will count
a fault as in the usual jumping class.
Faults will also be counted if the
horses do not take the jumps side by
side. Gentlemen chosen for this
event are C. Sellers, Ranker; J. M.
Fletcher, Opelika; T. N. Pyke, Mont­gomery;
F. N. Williams, Mobile; G.
V. Nunn, Auburn; E. B. Kftinedy,
Washington, D. C ; and W. W. Wible,
Montgomery.

FRATERNITY FRESHMEN WILL
TAKE PART IN HUNT SUNDAY
Freshmen Looking Forward to Annual Easter Egg Hunt Spon­sored
by Interfraternity Council; Contestants to Meet at
A. T. O. House at 2 P. M.
Freshmen on the campus are look­ing
forward to Sunday, March 27,
with a great deal of anticipation for
the annual Easter Egg Hunt. This
affair, sponsored by the Interfratern-ity
Council is open to freshmen from
all fraternities that are members of
the council. The contestants will
meet in front of the A. T. O. house
at 2 p. m. and from there will go to
Ag Bottom where the contests will be
held.
It is requested by the Council that
all fraternities eligible for the' affair
bring two dozen eggs to the A. T. O.
house by 6 p. m. Saturday.
The freshmen participating will
come costumed and a prize will be
awarded to the freshmen having the
best and most original costume. It
has been requested that all entrants
wear sufficient clothing, as in< the
past some contestants have come clad
scantily.
To the freshman who finds the
most eggs a bridge table will be pre­sented.
A mammoth egg, represent­ed
by a golden football will be pre­sented
to the freshman who succeeds
in holding it for the required length
of time. A long ring will be formed
by the freshmen outside a rope and
at the given signal will rush for the
football, to be in the center. When
the final whistle blows, the fresh­man
who posseses the ball will be
awarded the trophy.
The event, which is one of the
most popular and enjoyable features
of the entire school year, should be
more enjoyable and fiyn-providing
than ever this year do to the attrac­tive
entertaining program arranged
for the first-year men. A large
crowd is expected to attend this an­nual
fun-fest to witness , the fresh­men
in the various contests.

seekers, as political interests
took a new boom. With only one
week to go. political machines are be­ing
oiled for the final test on March
30th.
Only two days remain for nomi­nations
to be submitted, arid the
large number of petitions afloat in­dicate
that a heavy ballot will be
presented to the students next Wed­nesday.
Friday at 5 o'clock has been
set as the last possible hour for
nominations to be filed with the
chairman of the Election Committee.

Old Auburn Described
By Professor Dunstan
"Old Auburn*' was the subject dis­cussed
by Prof. Arthur St. C. Dun­stan,
head of the department of elec­trical
engineering in speaking to the
Auburn Kiwanis Club, Monday. Prof.
Dunstan gave a very interesting talk
during whcih he told many human-interest
stories about occurrences and
practices at Auburn "many years
ago."
The speaker began by saying that
in "those days" the day began at
6:30 with the beating of drums as
reveille. It ended with the beating
of a different drum in the evening.
Dr. R. S. Sugg, chairman of the
club's committee on public affairs,
gave an encouraging on prospects for
extending the sewerage lines from
Auburn which will reduce the' num­ber
of mosquitoes and add other ad­vantages
to the town. He quoted
Mayor Copeland as having told the
council and representatives of the
different clubs of Auburn that
"something must be done this
spring."
Prof. W. W. Hill made an an­nouncement
about boy scout work
and asked financial cooperation of
members of the club.
Orders for Senior class invitations
will be taken all this week by W. J.
Bartoldus and William Keller who
were selected by the Chas. H. Elliott
Company to handle the'sale of invi­tations.
All orders must be in by
the end of this week.
The invitations are in two attrac­tive
styles, the first in the form of
leather booklets which are 37 cents
each, and the second in cardboard
booklets for 17 cents each.
Representatives from the Birming­ham
Boys Club will provide the op­position
for" the three Auburn stu­dents
who will appear in the ring at
the Cornerstone, "A" Day, Saturday,
April 2. They are.: Andrew Hudson,
a heavyweight; Young Tinkle, a
middleweight, and Forest Higgins, a
welterweight, each of whom has a
good record in amateur boxing
circles. Dave Evans, their coach, in­tends
to enter them in the South­eastern
A. A. U. boxing tournament
in Atlanta Thursday, Friday and Sat­urday.
Hudson will box Tony Stover, 202
lb. freshman football player of Cop-perhill,
Tenn.; Tinkle will vie for
honors against Buddy Hyman, of
Memphis, Tenn., winner of the mid­dleweight
championship in the annual
Golden Glove boxing carnival in his
hometown in 1931, and Higgins will
fight the 1929 state amateur welter­weight
champion. The trio of Au­burn
mitt slingers will also compete
in the Southeastern A. A. U. tourney
in Atlanta.
The trio of three-round boxing
matches will be one of the leading
attractions on the "A" Day bill,
which probably will start in the
morning and end in the evening with
an "A" club dance in Alumni Gym­nasium.
The feature of the "A"
Day program will be a baseball game
at 2 p. m. between Coach Sam Mc­Allister's
Tigers and Donie Bushs'
Minneapolis Millers.

Department of Interior Makes
Survey of Opinion of R. O.
T. C. Graduates
Four New Types of Degrees Are
Being Awarded Daring This Year
Four new types of degrees are be­ing
awarded this year to graduates
at commencement exercises. Charles
W. Edwards, associate registrar, an­nounced
that members of the class of
1932 will be the first to receive de­grees
in textile engineering, industri­al
engineering, aeronautical engineer­ing,
and applied arts. .-
The curriculum in industrial engi­neering
is intended for students inter­ested
in technical work applied to
management of manufacturing indus­tries.
The course is so arranged that
the students take in addition to their
technical, mechanical and electrical
engineering subjects, a series of
courses in organization and manage­ment
which includes cost accounting,
time study, factory planning, person­nel
of administration, and design of
production tools and machines.
Candidates for the degree of
Bachelor of Science in Industrial En­gineering
are John O. Barrow of
West Point, Ga., Gabie Drey of Mo­bile,
and William B. Yarbrough of
Auburn.
The School of Textile Engineering
was established in 1928 to meet the
demand for men. with a thorough
technical training in the arts and sci­ences
directly applicable to the tex­tile
industry. Although certificates
in textile engineering have been
awarded at previous commencements,
the Bachelor of Science in Textile
Engineering degree will be given for
the first time.
Cleveland L. Adams of Eufaula,
Jack A. Cumbee of Five Points, Jesse
W. Jones, Jr., of Roanoke, Robert A.
McMillan of Talladega, and Bernard
N. Thompson of Altoona will be can­didates
for textile degrees.

Auburn graduates replying to
questions of the U. S. department of
interior, are in favor of military
training in higher institutions of
learning.
Students who took military courses
at Auburn were among those of 54
institutions throughout the United
States to whom questionnaires were
sent by the department to _ obtain
their views on peace time training of
college students. More than half the
questionnaires were returned.
Out of 256 replying, 254 said R. O.
T. C. training had a definite educa­tional
value; 251 said the work con­tributed
something important to their
education; the same number agreed
the time spent in such training was
justified; 225 favored requiring two
years training; and 239 were opposed
to eliminations of the courses from
colleges.
Following are the conclusions from
opinions of R. O. T. C. graduates
throughout the country:
"The volume of opinions drawn
from more than 10,000 college grad­uates
who completed the R. O. T. C.
course in military science and tac­tics
gives full recognition to the edu­cational
values derived from the
course. This is apparent from the
standpoints of both general educa­tion
and discipline and educational
subject matter. The course is recog­nized
for its utility in developing
right habits of mind and body and
qualities of character that are fully
as useful in everyday experience as
they are when applied, to military ob­jectives."
"The R. O. T. C. is especially rec­ommended
by graduates because it
has brought to them a more definite
and serious recognition of a number
of the more important duties and
responsibilities of a. democratic citi­zenship."
"Graduates of the R. O. T. C. have
come to feel that some college au­thorities
and faculties have not given
sufficient recognition to the R. O. T.
C. as an educational instrument,
largely through a failure to perceive
many of the educational values that
have been developed through its

Entries in the high school Dra­matic
Tournament, annually spon­sored
by the English Department at
Auburn, mounted to seventeen
schools yesterday, just twenty-four
hours before the close of the time
limit for entrants.
Stating that several of the en­trants
were tentative, Professor J.
R. Rutland, head of the department,
gave out the following schools as
possible competitors in the contests
which are to take place on April 1
and 2. They are as follows: Fairfax,

THE STRAW VOTE
In spite of all its publicity, all it's bally­hoo,
the Literary Digest straw-vote prohi^
bition referendum has again turned out a
mere farce. Yet many people regard this
poll as a real criterion of the country's at­titude
towards prohibition.
Some of the*votes cast were sent in as
a ^rather poor joke, some were sent by
qualified voters, and most of them were
turned in without a serious thought. Why
an intelligent publication as the Literary
' Digest should waste a million dollars in
such a pointless manner is incomprehen­sible.
The project would be -worthwhile
should the people take it seriously; but all
straw votes are looked upon as a release
\ from the close adherence to political prom­ises
and desires that motivate real voting.
Should the country have a real prohibition
referendum all the reformers, preachers,
and Puritans in the country, as well as
all the incorrigible wets, would rise up
to defend their issue, regardless of the
price of victory. The issue was hotly con­tested
when it was passed, and it is hardly
possible for a country to experience such
a complete reversal of policy in thirteen
/
years. Let us then pay less attention to
propaganda, to asinine straw votes, and
to all the other nonsensical things that
impede an understanding of the country's
real political status.
EDUCATION OUTSIDE OF CLASSES
Do we take our education seriously, is
the question that arises each year in every
college in the country. It seems that the
question, should we take our education se­riously,
is an equally pregnant one in view
of the changing waves of ideas which en-vvelop
the undergraduate mind from year
to year. There is obviously too great a
field for generalizing to properly settle such
a question as the former for any one per­son
; however, the latter query, as a dis­tinct
phase of the former, may be centered
upon with a greater degree of ease and
accuracy.
After the ogre of the freshman year has
been passed, no more than twenty-five per
cent of the students who attend college ac­complish
even a small amount of what they
originally intended to accomplish. Such a
condition, from the exterior appears la­mentable,
but under certain conditions can
be seen as justifiable.
Predominant among the reasons for this
lack of achievement, especially among un-specializing
students, is the fact that they
learn that a larger portion of their educa­tion
is obtainable from sources foreign to
those listed in the college curriculum. Vast
amounts of knowledge may be gained with­out
particularly active interest in class room
activity. Normal exercise of the mentality
along other lines will bring the same re­sults
as prolonged concentration upon as­signed
subjects. In this manner the under­graduate
finds that additional time may be
allotted to forming closer associations with
class-mates.
There is no need for excessive study, for
a sufficient .degree of rules and information
may be acquired without it. There is,
however, a need for concentration upon
several branches common to the education­al
institution or to some particular branch.
Education cannot be obtained without work
of some nature, even though the generally
accepted means of acquiring it may be sub­stituted.
DANCES OR DANCES
Cross currents of sentiment played havoc
with any definite action at the senior class
meeting Monday. The status of the Social
Committee was presented, and efforts to
render aid met with disapproval from every
quarter.
Since the meeting there have been num­erous
plans advanced, but none have been
crystalized into a scheme that will assure a
set of dances. Many factions refuse to
make concessions, and the affair remains the
same muddled situation that was brought
to the seniors at their class meeting.
The Plainsman makes no effort to dictate
in the disposition of the senior class dues.
However, the paper advocates a set of final
dances and the retirement of the ' present
deficit. The Student Social Committee
must be saved, and other groups should not
seek to abolish the organization or rob it
of vested power because economic conditions
forced them to the red side of the ledger.
Several implications cast at the commit­tee
during the meeting were most unjust,
and were unfounded in some of the suggest­ed
charges.
MENTAL HOTHOUSES
A hothouse for geniuses is the latest
movement under way at Northwestern Uni­versity.
These college officials would pro­vide
the proper atmosphere for budding
genius so that it might develop more quick­ly
instead of being held down by the slower
tempo of ordinary life.
For some time experimentation has been
undertaken. Several colleges have -made
exceptions in their age restrictions to ma­triculate
so-called prodigies of 14 and 15
years, and infrequently, even younger ones.
Whether it is wise to place these precoci­ous
children in a situation corresponding
to their advanced mental attainments or
leave them in the surroundings and with
the same companions as those of average
children of their respective ages has been a
debatable problem. Some of the child prod­igies
have failed miserably in college, some
have gone through as normal students, and
a very, few have distinguished themselves
even among those much older in years.
But wherever they have failed, the
trouble seems to have been in making the
social adjustments and not in meeting the
mental problems. Taking an unusually
gifted child from his companions of the
same age robs that child of the leadership
which is his prerogative. Placing the prod­igy
in an environment where he associates
with those much older lowers him to the
level of an individual of average intellect. »
Thus, no conclusions may be drawn con­cerning
the problem of managing prodigies.
So far, little has been done for them. The
whole scheme of education is regulated for
the average person. Also, there are schools
where the inferior and backward child may
receive special care. What is civilization
going to do for the embryo genius?
Walter Dill Scott, president of Northwest-esrn,
proposes to do something about it.
Why not take these embryo geniuses and
place them together in the advanced mental
surroundings which they deserve? A few
students selected to enter Northwestern
next year will be able to meet all entrance
requirements save that of age and will be
able to enjoy "the stimulus that comes from
cooperation and competition with equals."

SPASMODIC SPUTTERINGS OF A
TEMPERAMENTAL TROUBADOR
Dear heart o' mine, I pine and pine,
And pine and pine and pine.
For only you, and good home-brew,
And wine and wine and wine.
The deed is done, my heart is won,
By Cupid's piercing dart.
To be exact, my churn is cracked,
Likewise my fragile heart.
Now Spring are sprung, flannels flung
Out on the balmy breeze.
The winds blow free, so heave alee,
Or else my tosies freeze.
Exams are nigh, I heave a sigh, y
As masons heave a brick.
But better still, to heave a "pill",
Or wield a willow stick. ,
I long for love, and skies above,
And pretzels by the peck,
But better'yet, some gal to pet,
And just a little neck.
The rain falls free, on house and tree,
To irk me into wrath.
It matters not, since out I trot, »
And take my nightly bath.
The roommate groans, somebody phones;
To hell with all the frolic.
The noise about, must come from gout,
Or else the painter's colic.
The Crosley howls, and spits and growls,
A song of sun and moon,
Ye Gods I groan, if that is tone,
Then cows likewise can croon.
I hear some bumps—not made by chumps
High up above my head.
It's three o'clock, off comes a sock,
And I am now in bed.
—"HIC-HIC".
Prexy's Paragraphs
By Bradford Knapp
One of the most in­teresting
showings in
the Literary Digest
report on its straw
vote for and against
t h e P r o h i t i on
Amendment is the
fact that all of the
small college towns
so far have reported
dry. Such places as Ames, Iowa, the home
of Iowa State College; Manhattan, Kan­sas,
home of the Kansas State Agricultural
College; Lawrence, Kansas, home of the
University of Kansas; Fayetteville, Ar­kansas,
home of the University of Arkan­sas,
all show a preponderance of votes for
the continuance of the Eighteenth Amend­ment.
Some larger places where very
large institutions are located such as Ann
Arbor, the home of the University of Mich­igan;
New Haven, Connecticut, home of
Yale University apparently went the other
way.

About one hundred and forty Auburn
men and women gathered at the annual
Auburn banquet at the A. E. A. in Birm­ingham
last week. It was the largest and
best banquet Auburn has had at that meet­ing
for at least four years. Thanks are
due to the graduate students in Education
who formed a club here at Auburn some­time
ago and who have carried the fine
spirit of their summer meeting here at
Auburn out into the State. They spon­sored
this banquet in cooperation with the
alumni organization and the results were
gratifying. The spirit of the occasion was
fine and the kindly greeting of hundreds of
Auburn graduates who are in the teach­ing
force of the State was exceedingly
stimulating. Everyone spoke of loyalty
and devotion to Auburn. The theme of
the speeches centered around Auburn as
a teacher-training institution.

Quite a number of fraternities have ex­pressed
an interest in securing a "House
mother" for next year. Many problems
could be solved if this step could be taken
by all fraternities where the houses are
so arranged that the employment of a
regular House mother is feasible. A good
House mother helps in the management of
the house and often earns her salary in
the savings due to good management. But
most of all her great service is to enlarge
the fraternity's social program, to make of
the fraternity house a real home of dignity
and culture as well as enjoyment and thus,
make the fraternity itself a social and
also an educational factor in the lives of
its members.

The Executive Cabinet of the Under­graduate
Student Association should, it
seems to me, be studying the present con­stitution
and by-laws with a view to some
constructive changes. For example, in Ar­ticle
10, regarding the work of the Social
Committee, Section 7 provides for the pay­ing
over of any net profits accruing from
dances to certain other activities. I think
such a provision is wrong. The Social
Committee, and likewise any other student
organization, ought to accumulate sur­pluses
which they guard with the greatest
possible care. It has been necessary for
the Social Committee to go to a bank and
make arrangements for finances'. That be­comes
increasingly difficult. It is my be­lief
that the by-laws ought to be changed
in thjs respect and possibly in others so
that surpluses instead of being paid over
to other enterprises may be kept carefully
in the bank for the continuance of the
work another year. Possibly the size of
the surplus might be designated. The same
thing might be said to be true regarding
student publications. The work of cer­tain
other committees ought to be studied
with a view of organizing the committee
work for next year through the new coun­cil
so that the work may be more effective.
Everyone of these committees of the Coun­cil,
especially those relating to the student
publications, are important factors in the
real training and education of the stu­dents
who occupy such positions. Business
management, care in planning, care in the
execution of plans and the development of
the ability to manage an enterprise are all
parts of these student activities. Prob­lems
of the past year have been so difficult
and so strenuous that few of us have had
the time to devote to some of these very
important matters. In the beginning of
the next year it might be well for us to-adopt
a different plan on some of these
matters. This is the time for us to study
these problems and try to work them out
to the very best advantage of the student-body
and the whole institution.

WITH OTHER COLLEGES
We carefully prepare this paragraph so
that we may hold the number of grammat­ical
errors at a minimum. Once upon a
time we hid our smiles behind our mascu­line
pen; now we have been found out and
forced to run the gauntlet of chargrin and
embarrassment eternal, by a detectivess
(see Wo-Co-Ala dictionary for correct spel­ling)
of the staff of that astounding pub­lication.
Not only did this feminine combi­nation

to revive from the files of exchanges an

mumblings kin to "the sins of our fathers"
we overlook this accusation of which we
had no knowledge at all and reply that
we always thought that female journal­ists
were good for something, and now we
know. And there is not a single proof­reader
on the staff! In conclusion we
might add that the final dart cast in that
rebuttal in which the writer pleaded for
forgiveness for trying out her abilities, that
there is also a correct definition ,of the
word subtlety as well as-a correct spelling.

informed us that if we were not interested

have wished more than once that we -had
followed the single sensible suggestion in
the entire letter. The object of the letter
was. to establish a relief FUND through
colleges. Also, that we would be provided
with several feathers for our editorial cap.
As we see it now, the main relief needed
is a relief from relief attempts. The relief
campaign will struggle along somehow
without the aid of the college man, com­monly
regarded as the poorest class in the
world. - Though that exemplary publica­tion
may have added several feathers to
their caps by its latest move we have de­cided
to adorn ourselves with a plain model
this season.

INSIGHTS
By Conscientious Cletus
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.
IF THE recent Senior Class meeting was
a fair example of what Auburn stu­dents
know about self government it is
certainly apparent to those who were pres­ent
and to those who heard about the meet­ing
that more time should be spent by col­leges
in teaching the principles of demo­cratic
control. College seniors who should
rightly be proud of the fact that it is only
a short time until they will be out in the
world solving the problems of our civiliza­tion
should also be ashamed of the childish
and brainless demonstration that took place
at the class meeting Monday morning.
The different plans suggested, as to how
the Senior class could help the Social Com­mittee
make the final dances a financial
success, had some merit and should have
been considered, at least by a committee if
not by the class in' a meeting of the whole.
Merely because some of the plans presented
seemed ridiculous, certainly did not excuse
the absolute disregard for the rules of par­liamentary
procedure that was in evidence
during every part of the meeting.
If a committee composed of representa­tive
members of the senior class had pre­sented
a well-worked out plan to the class
Monday morning and had recommended its
adoption the meeting would at least have
had something definite on which to pro­ceed.
The committee's report could have
been accepted, amended, or rejected, but
regardless of which step was finally taken
the meeting would not have ended in a
state of confusion. The adjournment of
the meeting Monday morning was certain­ly
no compliment to the administrative
ability of Auburn seniors.
* * * *
The only logical plan presented and the
only logical way that the Senior Class can
make a real contribution to the life of the
college through assuring the success of the
final dances, is by establishing a trust fund
along the lines suggested. A trust fund of
$1000.00 established and placed in the
hands of reliable trustees would not only
assure the success of the coming set of
final dances, but it would also place the
Social Committee on a firm financial basis,
and always remain a living contribution of
the class of '32. It is hard to think of any­thing
that would have a more lasting and
more up-building influence on the student
life of Auburn than a step that -would im­prove
the social life of the campus. Such
a trust fund as suggested would be the
most productive gift that the class of '32
could leave for the use of future Auburn
student's.
The suggestion was made that if such a
fund was established it should make it
possible for the present senior class to at­tend
the final dances at a reduced admis­sion
price. Such a provision, if included in
the trust plan, would defeat the real ob­ject
of its establishment. The trust should
be of a lasting nature and it should only
be called on in cases of absolute necessity,
and even then it should be considered as a
short time loan without interest to be re­paid
by the Social Committee at the earliest
possible date. In this way the Social Com­mittee
would be forced to live within its
income, but aj the same time it would never
be necessary to leave off one set of dances
because of temporary financial embarrass­ment.
If the seniors are allowed to attend
the dances at a reduced price it will be ex­actly
the same thing as returning the class
dues to each senior to be used in paying
part of the dance admission price. This
might mean that the present Senior Dances
would be a financial success, but it would
certainly be no lasting gift that the class
of '32 was making. Also it is likely to ex­pect
that if the Seniors are admitted at a
reduced price there will be so many stu­dents
attending the dances that so far as
the success of the season is concerned it
might be just as well to have none.
• * * *
The point has been made several times
before, but because it seems to be such a
general expression of the opinion of the
student body, it might be well to repeat it.
There is no excuse and no just reason
why so many free tickets to the dances
should be given to members of the student
body, and it is time that some definite ac­tion
was taken on the matter. If it is neces­sary
to vote out our present worthless con­stitution
in order to make a few changes
that a majority of Auburn students feel
should be made then it is time it was voted
out.
Regardless of what authority the change
will have to pass through it is the opinion
of the Auburn student body that the change
should be made and if our present consti­tution
does not allow student expression it
is worse than worthless.
Women lie about their age and men lie
about their income.

'WAGS', CANINE SINGER, HAS
LARGE REPERTOIRE OF TRICKS
Dog Owned By Auburn Professor Sings Tenor and Bass, Un­derstands
125 Words and Commands, and Performs 16
f Amusing Tricks
A smart dog is not unusual—but
what about a "singing dog?"
Wags, a black and white fox ter­rier,
is both a "tenor and bass solo­ist"
who gladly "sings" to the piano
accompaniment of his master, Prof.
A. D. Burke of Auburn.
Besides that, Wags understands
125 words and commands and enjoys
performing his extensive repertoire
of 16 tricks already learned in the
two short years of his canine exist­ence.
Wags' "singing" is not the con­ventional
howl uttered in "protest"
to the singing of human virtuosos.
When asked to sing tenor, he scam­pers
to a position near the upper
keys of the piano, places his front
paws on the lap of his accompanist
and howls in a highly pitched tone.
Simultaneously with the completion
of "Jingle Bells"—his only song—
his "tenor singing" ceases.
Then, at the suggestion that a
bass solo is in order, Wags darts to
the other side of his master and
jumps into a chair next to the bass
keys of the piano. There he "sings"
the same song but this time in a low
bass voice. When "singing tenor"
Wags tilts his nose upward, but for
bass solo he lowers his head in true
basso profundo attitude.
Evidence that he distinguishes be­tween
"bass" and "tenor singing" is
shown by the fact that he will, if
asked to, sing bass to tenor accom­paniment
or vice versa. His singing
is not in exact tune with the piano
but during the course of "Jingle
Bells" there are frequent harmoniz­ing
notes.
Holding in his mouth a small bell
suspended by a short, heavy cord,
Wags delights in ringing it with his
right front paw. Having learned
that this brings him choice morsels
of food while the family is seated at
the dining table, Wags brings his
bell to the dining room and rings for
food at meal times. v

seats himself in the living' room and
calls Wags' attention to the fact
that he is striking a match in prep­aration
for a quiet smoke. Without
cpmmand Wags brings the ash tray
from any place in the room.
Then Professor Burke remarks that
he is very tired and that his bedroom
slippers would add much to his com­fort.
At this Wags trots into the
bedroom and lugs out the desired
slippers, one at a time. The profes­sor
puts on the slippers and Wags
forthwith carries the discarded shoes
back to the bedroom.
Wags knows the difference be­tween
slippers and shoes and never
makes a mistake, but his sense of
color is not so good for he some­times
brings a black shoe to accom­pany
a tan one. Should Professor
Burke decide to replace his street
shoes during the evening, Wags will
go and get them.
Once Wags carried a shoe to the
wrong room, but his memory helped
him out of the difficulty for he re­membered
where he placed it and
brought it back when told.
When Professor Burke takes the
dog in his arms and offers him as a
gift to anyone standing near, Wags
offers violent protest to being "given
away." Likewise he feigns great an­ger
when told that he will be taken
to the woodshed for punishment.
Such a threat serves as effective dis­cipline.
Some of Wags' other cute antics
include his executing the strokes of
swimming while held in the arms of
Professor Burke. Wags will waltz on
his hind legs, sit up, catch a ball, re­trieve,
jump through the arms of his
master, or crawl along the floor to
secure a piece of dog biscuit.
Dogs are said to learn purely by
association and are riot credited with
ability to do very much reasoning,
but Wags sometimes gives evidence
of remarkable intelligence. Once
when Professor and Mrs. Burke were
discussing the possibility of taking a
trip to a nearby town, Wags, with­out
any suggestion from them, went
back to his box at the rear of tfye
house and brought his coat which he
was accustomed to wearing at this
season of the year when out-of-doors.
Wags knows four of the neighbor­hood
dogs by name. If Prfessor
Burke tells him to go/ over to the
side window and look for any of
them, he goes without hesitation,
pushes the curtain aside with his
Files Of Newspaper
Given to Library
A valuable gift to the Auburn li­brary
has been made by Webb Stan­ley
of Greenville who presented to
Prof. J. R- Rutland files of the
"Greenville Advocate" dating from
the early sixties to 1900.
The paper was founded and first
-edited by Mr. Stanley's father, Col.
J. B. Stanley, dean of Alabama
journalism.
At present these old papers are
serving as excellent source material
for research on early dramatic ac­tivities
in Alabama conducted by
Professor Rutland who plans to pub­lish
his findings in book form in the
near future.
"The Greenville Advocate" is con­sidered
one of the foremost weekly
papers in the State, being one of the
oldest and best edited journals in its
class. -

The Department of Applied Art
offers courses in interior decoration,
and commercial and graphic arts, each
leading to the degree of Bachelor of
Applied Arts. The course in interior
decoration prepares one to become a
practicing interior decorator. It
starts with the relationship between
interior decoration and architecture,
and covers the treatment of doors and
windows, walls, ceilings and floors,
furniture and lighting.
The course in commercial and
graphic arts prepares the student for
professional art work in the adver­tising
or illustrating fields. Funda­mental
training is given in drawing,
painting, modeling, art history, and
design, accompanied by practical
problems in the development of ad­vertising
layouts, folders, posters,
book plates, and illustrations.
The first student awarded the
Bachelor of Applied Arts degree was
Miss Bessie Raby, of New Orleans,
who was graduated in January, 1932.
Others to receive the degree at com­mencements
this year are Raoul W.
Hobert, Jr., of Grand Bay, Thomas
E. Kipp of Leeds, Betty B. Ward and
Frances Moore of Auburn.
The course in aeronuatical engi­neering
covers required ground work
for passing the examinations of the
Department of Commerce for pilot's
licenses, and offers training in the de­sign,
construction, and principles of
operation of airplanes, airplane en­gines,
and the application of aircraft
in commercial transportatin. Grad­uates
are awarded the degree of
Bachelor of Science in Mechanical
Engineering (Aeronautics).

paws, and looks in all direction. Fail­ing
to see them he will go to the

Wags is extremely good tempered
but he has his moments. If he is
left in the house when he thinks he
should be taken for a walk or an au­tomobile
ride he will usually bring
sorrow to his owner. A new hat of
Mrs. Burke's and two summer straws
belonging to his master have been
found in tatters on their return. So
Wags usually gets his outing. His
purchase price added to the cost of
these destroyed articles bring the
total of Professor Burke's investment
to about $35.00, but a fabulous sum
could not buy the dog.
Severe punishment is unknown to
Wags. Professor Burke uses kind­ness
and the reward of food for his
various acts of smartness. An oc­casional
harmless smack with a rol-led-
up newspaper always frightens
Wags into being a good boy.
Though Mr. Burke says Wags is
the cleverest dog he has ever owned
and that fox terriers are perhaps the
smartest of the canine family, he be­lieves
that hounds are one of the
most intelligent breeds of all dogs.
In direct conflict with the old saw
that "you can't teach an old dog new
tricks," Mr. Burke has found the
exact opposite to be true. He Once
owned a hound that learned rapidly
up until its death at the age of nine
years.
Club Girls Observe
May 1 As Annual
Child Health Day
Following an annual custom, May
1 (May Day) will be observed by
16,000 Alabama girls enrolled in 4-H
clubs as child health day this year.
The observance will be made with
appropriate programs in each of the
43 counties having a home demon­stration
agent, as reported by Miss
Helen Johnston, state home demon­stration
agent.
County programs will be conduc­ted
in cooperation with the county
health units, and also the American
Child Health Association.
An important feature of j>ach of
these county programs will be the
announcement of the county health
champion. These champions will
compete at the state short course in
Auburn for state honors; and the
Alabama winner, in turn, will com­pete
at Chicago late in the year for
national honors.
The Alabama winner last year was
Miss Nell Moore of Bullock County.
She entered the national contest in
Chicago and was ranked third in the
United States,
"Each program will have a definite
objective this year," continued-Miss
Johnston. "It will be to focus at­tention
upon mutual' cooperation and
understanding in order that each
child may be sheltered in its own
home and' share secure family life;
have an adequate amount of clean
safe milk; have plenty of sunshine,
sleep, rest, and recreation; and that
each infant may be born healthy, of
a healthy mother who will live to
love her child and take care of her
family."
Reports from Alabama home dem­onstration
agents for 1931 show that
many noteworthy results were ob­tained.
Among them were that 7,-
977 girls and women had complete
health examinations; 7,587 girls and
women improved their posture; 5,-
697 club members were, immunized
against communicable diseases; 960
homes of club members installed san­itary
toilet facilities; 2,33.0 homes
were screened; and 2,352 families
participated in a campaign for con­trolling
flies, mosquitoes, and pther
insects.
Auburn Citizens Are
Candidates For Office
Two Auburn citizens, Dr. J. V.
Brown and E. F. Cauthen, have an­nounced
their candidacies for county
offices in the coming elections. Dr.
Brown is a candidate for a position
on the Lee County Board of Educa­tion
while Mr. Cauthen has entered
the County Commissioner race.
Both men are well known in Au­burn.
Dr. Brown is a graduate of
the college and has had wide experi­ence
in educational work. He re­turned
to Auburn several years ago
to, become Executive Secretary of the
Auburn Alumni Association, which
position he now holds. Mr. Cauthen
is a local business man and was form­erly
connected with the Experiment
Station of the college.
Two other candidates for the same
offices are Mr. E. H. James, of

Auburn Graduate Gets
Ph.D. Degree at Harvard
Writing his thesis on Alabama's,
unusual four-year schedule of legis­lative
sessions, John Peavy Wright,
formerly df Lee County and an Au­burn
graduate, received the Doctor
of Philosophy degree at Harvard Uni­versity
on February 29. "The Lim­ited
Quadrennial Legislative Session
in Alabama" was the title of his dis­sertation.
Dr. Wright graduated from Au­burn
in 1922. Following graduation
he instructed in history at Barton
Academy in Mobile, now Murphy
High School. Later he was a sum­mer
school instructor in this subject
at the Alabama Polytechnic Insti­tute.

Albert "Ab" Wright, who will ap­pear
in the Minneapolis outfield
when the Millers meet the champion­ship
Auburn Tigers on the diamond
in the feature attraction on Auburn's
annual "A" Day program, Saturday,
April 2, was a great athlete at Okla­homa
A'. & M. while Dr. Bradford
Knapp, president of Alabama Poly­technic
Institute, was head of the
Stillwater institution.
At Oklahoma A. & M.T. Wright was
an extraordinary three-sport star,
standing out in football, basketball
and baseball, and is considered by
many as the best athlete ever turned
out there. He had the physique and
ability and became a superb college
performer. In college, he scaled
around 185 and was six feet one inch
tall.
Dr. Knapp, who was an outstanding
player and captain of Vanderbilt's
initial football eleven, considers
Wright the most accurate and longest
forward passer he has ever seen.
"He could pass from one end of the
gridiron to the other with unerring
skill," said Auburn's prexy.
Dr. Knapp also added that Wright
pitched 18 innings one afternoon
while at Oklahoma A. & M., was a
natural hitter, and also performed
other "iron" man stunts on the dia­mond.
Many sports fans here, in­cluding
Auburn's coaching staff, re­member
Wright's stellar work at the
Stillwater school.
While President Knapp was con­sidering
accepting the presidency of
Auburn, a newspaper in a city where
a rival school of Oklahoma A. & M.

was located came out with a head­line
to the effect that if Dr. Knapp
went to Auburn that they hoped he
took Wright with him, Wright having
given the enemy school so much
trouble during the year. Wright did
not trail Dr. Knapp to the Plains,
not being eligible here, but resigned
from college after the close of his
sophomore year, which was in 1928,
the year Dr. Knapp came to the
Cornerstone.
Before joining Donie Bush's title
contenders in the American Associa­tion,
Wright campaigned with Day­ton,
Bloomington, Joplin, Shawnee
and Muskogee.
Other Minneapolis players who
will perform here on Drake Field
April 2 are: Benton, Petty and Will­iamson,
pitchers; Griffin and Schulte,
catchers; Burt, Sicking, Norris, Ober-holzer,
Bloxom and Ganzel, infield-ers,
Mowry and Rice, outfielders.
Of what avail is a work of art if
the audience does not possess suffi­cient
culture to appreciate it?
More business is lost because of
neglect than because of competition.

POLO MATCH BETWEEN STUDENTS
AND OFFICERS DRAWS INTEREST
Game Originated in China and Persia During Ancient Times
and was Brought to the Western World by the British
from India; Resembles Basketball
With the interest being evinced in
the polo match, between the officers
and students, scheduled to close the
gymkhana Saturday it is thought a
little explanation of the game' may
be timely.
Polo is a very old game being
played in China and Persia several
centuries B. C. One of the early de­scriptions
of the game was brought
to Europe by Marco Polo on his re­turn
from his Asiatic journeys and
it was from this that the name was
derived. The British army took the
game up in India and made its gener­al
introduction to the western world.
In its early years polo was played
on very small horses and from this
we have the expression polo pony.
As the desire for speed increased,
larger horses were used, the rule re­quiring
ponies to be under a certain
size was changed and now any size
horse may be used for the game.
Polo resembles basket ball more
closely than any other collegiate
sport. It is played on a larger
ground, 300 by 200 making a regu­lation
unboarded field. It may be
played oh a smaller ground. The
team consists of four players instead
*of five and they are mounted instead
of trusting to the speed of their own
feet. The ball is made of wood and
a little larger than a baseball. As in
basketball the ball may not be car­ried
by a player but must'be passed
from one to another by striking with
the mallet until it is struck through
the goal or out of the ground. The
goal is the 24 foot space betweeh.two
posts at each end of the field. If
the ball goes out over the back or
end line and not through the goal it
is hit in by the defending side. If
the ball goes outside over side lines
it is put into play by being thrown in
by the referee.
Rules of play of the game are de­vised
to prevent dangerous play
which might cause injury to player
Prof. Applebee Talks
to Women's Art Club
The Art Department of the Wo­man's
Club met Thursday, March
17th, in the- architectural building.
Professor Frank W. Applebee gave a
most interesting talk on "Art and
Religion", illustrating the subject
with lantern slides. Mrs. R. L. Johns
gave the current events. There were
several visitors present.

gentlemen will race, carrying a
needle to the finish line where he
will give the needle to his partner.
She will thread the needle and race
to the finish line.
In the glove race ladies will be
mounted at the far line. Gentlemen
will start from the finish line, each
with a package containing a pair of
gloves, and race to the far line where
each gentlemen will give his partner
the package. The ladies will then
race to the finish line and the first to
cross the line wearing the gloves wins
the race.
The ladies riding class was orga­nized
in the spring of 1931 but this
will be the first participation in a
display of mounted sports to take
place at Hie college. The polo squad
was organized this spring by Lieut.
T. S. Gunby.
Proceeds from the gymkhana will
be used to purchase helmets for the
polo squad, which so far is an inde­pendent
organization receiving no fi­nancial
aid from the college. An ad­mission
fee of 25 cents will be
charge. Attendance from towns in
this section of Alabama is expected
to be large.
The polo match will close the
event.

or horse and to prevent unfair play
from neutralizing a superior play of
the other team. These rules prevent
riding across a man who is on the
line of the ball, riding into another
player at too sharp an angle, hook­ing
a player's mallet across his or
pushing a rider with the elbow. Pen­alties
are awarded for these fouls,
usually allowing the side fouled a
free shot at the goal.
The students have been improving
a great deal, and it is believed that
they will be able to put up a good
game against the officers' team which
will probably be Captain Metts and
Lts. Gunby, Bowman, and Phelps
with Streeter Wiatt as substitute.

Means of Saving
Capitalism Told
Case Economist
. To save itself in the face of the
challenge of Communism, capital
must begin figuring the cost of dis­placing
men by machinery as a cost
of production itself, according to Dr.
William E. Wickenden, president of
Case School of Applied Science.
Dr. Wickenden believes that num­erous
conditions prevent the return
of the "fabulous days of prosperity
we had in the Coolidge era." Rath­er,
he said recently, we must get
down to the task of reconstructing in­dustry
on a new basis. Pointing out
that after a million years of human
evolution, mankind doubled its num-bers
in the last 100 years, and that
the machine age was scarcely 200
years old, Dr. Wickenden said, "We
are living in a brand new period in
the history of civilization."
"Democracy and capitalism are on
the defense in this depression as nev­er
-before," he said. "It is up to
us to find whether the fault is in
the machine or in folk. I think the
technical developments have caught
up with our supply of technicians, so
that more men are now required to
plan work than are needed to do the
work."
THREE DEBATES TO
BE HELD THIS WEEK
Announcement Is Made
About 'Y' Tennis Courts
The following announcement con­cerning
the use of the Y. M. C. A.
tennis courts, on Magnolia Avenue
across from Broun Hall, have been
made.
"The four tennis courts across
from Broun Engineering building
have been cleaned off and put in
shape lately—primarily for the use
of its student members and contri­buting
supporters.
"One court is set aside for the use
of the Y. M. C. A. and co-eds. The
lower rear court ha3 been set over
to faculty members. These men not
only contribute their share to the
support of the Y. M. C. A. but have
assumed and pay for maintenance of
the two rear courts at a cost of from
forty to fifty dollars annually* .
"Membership in the Faculty Club
costs $1.00 per semester, or $2.00 per
year, payable in advance. If you
wish to join in the use of the courts,
be fair—pay for your share, and get
your playing schedule. A playing
schedule has been set for the use of
the two rear courts. Students are
accordingly expected to give way
whenever regular members arrive.
"Since the front courts have now
been placed in playing condition, we
must ask students not to use the rear
court's without permission. Playing
without tennis shoes and when the
courts are wet -must necessarily be
prohibited. Kindly observe this rule.
"Playing schedule blanks will be
supplied upon request. Let us have
your application and check for mem­bership
fee this week. The secretary
is on the courts every afternoon."
T. U. O.'s Entertain
With Informal Dance
One of the most enjoyable fratern­ity
social functions of the year took
place last Saturday night when the
Theta Upsilon Omega fraternity en­tertained
at an informal dance at
their chapter house on South Gay
Street. Both living rooms were ap­propriately
decorated with the fra­ternity
colors, Old Gold and Blue,
with a network of streamers spread
about the ceilings and hall. Under
them were hung Japanese lanterns
which lent an air of enchantment to
the occasion.

Three inter-collegiate debates
scheduled by the Auburn Debating
Society are to be held on the campus

the Block and Bridle Club. "How­ever,
we know that the townspeople,
farmers, and students who go

"Although graduates recognize on
the whole that military education is
equal in quality to that which is
academic or professional, they feel
that the R. O. T. C. course could be
strengthened by better pedagogical
training on the part of the teachers
of military science, and by their plac­ing
greater stress Upon the study of
principles .rather than upon military
technique."
"The graduates would strongly op­pose
the abolition of military train­ing
from institutions of collegiate
grade, and are of the opinion that the
contribtuion made by the R. O. T. C.
to a young man's general education
is sufficient in value to warrant the
continuance of the course as a cur­riculum
requirement."
"Ninety-three and six-tenths per
cent of the 9,363 replies attest that
R. O. T. C. training does not create
a militaristic attitude in the minds of
those who have experienced it, but
that it does furnish graduates with a
sense of individual responsibility to­ward
national welfare and security."
