Streets of Auburn took on new
life Saturday and Sunday with the
influx of approximately 1800 stu­dents
returning after the Christmas
holidays to resume their studies.
Very few absences were reported by
professors, who stated that practical­ly
every student was present for
classes Monday morning, when scho­lastic
work for the New Year was
resumed according to schedule at
8:00 o'clock.
Students bent over study tables-preparing
previously assigned work
for Monday could be seen Sunday
evening as lights burned anew in
dormitories and fraternity houses
over the town of Auburn. A feeling
of enthusiasm and interest was in
evidence on the campus Monday
morning as students rushed to at­tend
their first classes for the year
1932. All faculty and staff mem­bers
were on hand.
"Plans for the mid-year commence­ment
exercises were forthcoming
from the President's office with the
date set for the 21st of January. Ap­proximately
25 graduate and under­graduate
degrees will be~~awarded by
President Bradford Knapp at this
annual event which is to take place
in Langdon Hall at 7:30 p. m.
The first semester examination
period will begin on Friday, January
15, at 8:30 a. m.\ and will terminate
at 5 p. m., Thursday, January 21.
Registration for the second semes­ter
will be held on Friday and Sat­urday,
January 22 and 23, and on
the Monday following, class work for
the new semester will begin.
The annual Junior Prom will be
held on Thursday, Friday, and Sat­urday,
January 21, 22, and 23.
Announcement has just been re­ceived
by President Knapp from the
E. I. DuPont De Memours and Com­pany,
Wilmington, Del., awarding the
Alabama Polytechnic Institute a re­search
fellowship for the year be­ginning
September, 1932, to be de­voted
to research work in soil chem­istry;
and leaves the institution free
to choose the line of work to be pur­sued.
This is regarded as another
recognition of the valuable work be­ing
carried on here, especially the
very comprehensive work in soil
chemistry connected with the Experi­ment
Station in the Department of
Agronomy and Soils.
CONFERENCES ON

Auburn Alumnus Made
Judge By Gov..Miller
On Tuesday, January 5, Governor
B. M. Miller appointed Judge F.
Lloyd Tate of Wetumpka, a judge of
the 19th judicial circuit. He suc­ceeds
the late Judge George F.
Smoot.
Judge Tate is an alumnus of Au­burn,
being the editor of the first
Glomerata and one of the founders
of this publication which has become
a vital part of the student affairs of
the Alabama Polytechnic Institute
each year.
While in college Judge Tate had
to work to earn his way. He milked
cows and did everything else he
could to earn money. Later he stud­ied
law and practiced at Wetumpka.
At one time he was attorney-general
of Alabama. His interest in his alma
mater and in public affairs of his
state has grown from year to year.
NOTICE!
The P.-T. A. will hold a meeting
Friday afternoon, at 2:45 in the new
school building. Mrs. E. W. Burk-hardt
will talk on "When Is Home a
Success?".
Kiwanis Launch Year
With Meeting Monday
The Auburn Kiwanis Club launch­ed
a new year of service with an
entertaining and instructive program
at noon, Monday. Emmett Sizemoje
gave an illustrated lecture on the
cotton situation of the present and
also traced- it back more than 100
years, or before the cotton gin was
invented. .
The speaker said that the world
carryover of American cotton as of
August 1, 1932, is expected to be
around 13,000,000 bales. This fig­ure
is based upon the present supply
and the present rate of consumption.
He explained that 13,000,000 bales
will be the largest carryover on rec­ord
and about three times the aver­age
carryover.
Another chart showed that cotton
consumption and general business
are closely coordinated in their de­velopments.
They go up or go down
together, he explained.
Reports on holiday work of the
club were made' by Prof. J. Cs
Grimes and R. Y. Bailey. Club sing­ing
was a feature, the leader being
Dr. H. C. Hoffsommer, with Mrs.
Mary Drake Askew at the piano..
The meeting was largely attended.
Four visitors were present, they be­ing
J. T. High, W. A. Benson of
Nashville, John Farris, editor, and
Sam Fort, business manager of the
1932 Glomerata.

Virginia Flowers Will Lead Grand
March of Junior Prom; Decorations
And Orchestra To Be Most Colorful
Bernie Cummins Colorful Fig­ure
In Musical World Rated
As One of America's Best
FRIEND OF CELEBRITIES
Organized in 1923 Has Risen
Rapidly to Prominence; No­table
Engagements
Looming -beyond the mid-year
exams the annual Junior Prom awaits
a restless student body. Plans for
the most spectacular set of dances
ever given here neared completion
this week, and restrained social activ­ity
during the holidays is expected to
find an outlet at the gala celebration
to take place January 21, 22, and 23.
Bernie Cummins, whose orchestra
will furnish the "music, is awaited
with much expectancy. Cummins is
known as one of the most striking fig­ures
of the music world. He has a
John Barrymore profile—smart dres­ser—
married to a. New York heiress
—gave up professional boxing to be­come
a musician and today rates as
one of America's most popular young
maestri with a record of notable en­gagements
to his credit.
He is the intimate of many cele-braties,
having once lived next door
to Walter Winchell. He is a close
friend of Maurice Chevalier, Babe
Ruth, and Rudy Vallee. Thinks Val-lee
is a regular guy despite*all the
things said about him. He likes sports
and recently challenged Ben Bernie
and Wayne King to a match of golf.
Bernie's first professional engage­ment
was as hoofer in Chicago at the
old Pafisien Palace. Vauderville fol­lowed
until he was seized with the
desire to direct a band, and in 1923
organized the orchestra that has risen
to such prominence in the past few
years.
Bid cards for the dances have been
placed in the drug stores and fratern­ity
houses, and are to be collected
Sunday.
Auburn Knights Play
For Numerous Dances
Members of the Auburn Knights
Orchestra returned this week from a
two-weeks' tour of south Alabama,
where a number of dances were play­ed
during the Christmas holidays.
Their program was opened on Mon­day
evening, December 21, when
they played for the Christmas Hop
of the University Military School of
Mobile, which was held at the Battle
House.
On Tuesday and Wednesday pre­ceding
Christmas Day, the orchestra
played for dances at the Flomaton
High School in Flpmaton and the
American Legion club house in Mon-roeville.
While in the latter town,
the members were entertained at a
dinner given by Nick Hare at his
home.
Christmas Eve witnessed the an­nual
ball of the Mobile Club of Au­burn,
and this affair at the Battle
House was one of the highlights of
the season.
The Atmore Country Club was the
scene of a dance Christmas night
played by the Auburn Knights.
Other dances played were Floma­ton,
January 30; Monroeville, New
Year's Eve; and Atmore, New Year's
Day.
The Battle House in Mobile was
headquarters for the orchestra dur­ing
the trip, and while there, pro­grams
were played during the lunch
and dinner hours. On Tuesday, Jan­uary
29, the Knights played for and
attended a banquet given by the Ki­wanis
Club of Mobile.
NOTICE!
Bid cards for the Junior Prom
have been placed in all fraternity
houses and in the Tiger Drug Store.
These cards will be collected on Sun­day,
January 10. No cards can be
accepted after that date.
Devil Arrives To Rule
Domain of Merrymakers
Milton and Dante take the hind-dermost
when Charles F. Davis,
Mallory Collins, and B. A. Eng­land,
Jr. play hell with the deco­rations
for the mid-year dances.
Conceived by the ingenious minds
of these young architects a devil
has been born. No fallen angel
in the depths of inferna could
have assumed the insidious pro­portions
of this intriguing depic­tion
of the malicious spirit.
Dancers will tremble in the
wake of a false god when they
gaze on the face, nine feet high,
of Satan arrayed in all his di­abolical
glory, leering down upon
them from his throne directly
beneath a crimson canopy to
which added effects will be" de­rived
from a system of indirect
lighting which will be carried
out in all phases of the decora­tions.
The music masters will
dispense their Terpischcrean aug­mentations
from within the en­circling
arms of Lucifer as cry­stal
balls cast their flittering
shadows upon the dancers.
Belching smoke in anger at
those who daretred the portals
of the damned in quest of pleas­ure
the "King of Sinners" will
shroud the entire floor with an
errieness pleasant in its unique­ness.

tax assessor of Montgomery coun­ty,
Miss Flowers is 'a popular de
butante - of last season and has at­tended
numerous dances here in the
past. At one time she attended Wo­man's
College located in Montgomery
and has been a very popular member
of the younger social contingents
throughout the South, having been
honored in leading several dances in
Montgomery last season.
Only members of the junior class

rapidly during the early part of the
week and a large number of young
women are expected to represent the
collegiate set from practically ever
town in the surrounding territory.
Six fraternities will give house
parties including Phi Delta Theta,
Sigma Nu, Sigma Phi Epsilon, Sigma
Phi Sigma, Delta Sigma Phi, and

from the registrar's office today, the
office today, the official registration
days for the second semester will be
Friday, January 22, and Saturday,
January 23. Beginning Monday,
January 4, students may pay fees to
the Accountant. 'After payment of

cards with the deans, and begin­ning
Tuesday, January 19, students
may report to the deans for registra­tion.
The late fee of $5.00 will be
required Monday, January 25, and
$1.00 additional each day for five
days thereafter. Class work for the
second semester begins 8 a. m., Jan­uary
25.
A student is not registered until
his cards are approved by his dean.
Absences from class on and after
the opening day of the second semes­ter
due to late registration on the
part of first semester students are
counted.
Appointments Of Ring
Salesmen Made For '33
Three members of the class of
'33, have been appointed by the L.
G. Balfour Company as ring sales­men
for their class. They are Sonny
Paterson, Charles Boiling, and Bob
Ellis. The Balfour Company was
awarded the contract for these rings
at a meeting of the Executive Cabi­net
earlier in the year. These men
will have exclusive right for the sale
of the rings.
Ellis may be reached at the Kappa
Alpha house, Paterson at the Sigma
Nu house, and Charles Boiling at the
Phi Kappa Delta house. Students
desiring a ring will get in touch with
one of these men.
The Inter-fraternity Council held
its regular meeting Monday at the
Alpha Lambda Tau house. The meet­ing
was featured by a lengthy dis­cussion
of plans for delayed pledging
in the fraternity group here. Des­pite
the length of the discusison, all
action was deferred until the next
meeting, as it was felfr that the gravi­ty
-of the subject called for further
thought.
A motion for the purchase of a
new scholastic cup that was passed
at a previous meeting was upheld.
It is the plan of the council to award
the cup each year to the fraternity
having the best average for that
year. The cup will be held for one
year by the fraternity and then pass­ed
on unless reawarded, becoming
the permanent possession of the
fraternity winning it three consecu­tive
times. It is felt that this cup
will give the incentive necessary for
great scholastic improvement on the
campus.
Professor Robinson, faculty ad­visor
for the Inter-fraternity Coun­cil,
made a talk on scholarship, stres­sing
the extreme need for improve­ment.
He also touched on the con­duct
of the fraternities during the
coming dances.
The following houses will entertain
with house parties during the period
of Bernie Cummins' stay here at the
mid-term dances: Lambda Chi Al­pha,
Sigma Nu, Phi Delta Theta, Sig­ma
Phi Epsilon, Delta Sigma Phi,
and Sigma Pi Sigma. The council
feels that there will be ample room
for an extremely large number of
visitors for the dances.

Monoplane Donated To
The Aeronautical Dept.
A cabin monoplane for use in the
aeronuatical laboratory here, has
been donated by Mr. Young. He is
an Auburn graduate. The plane
was partially wrecked at LaGrange,
Ga., when its hanger collapsed in a

of aeronautical students.
Auburn Grad Weds
Texas Girl Dec. 24
Raymond Chambers, who graduat­ed
at Auburn several years ago, and
Miss Eugenia Reineir of Sequin,
Texas, married on December 24. Mr.
Chambers is engaged in engineering
work. His brother, T. B. Chambers,
lives in Auburn. They were reared
in Athens, Ala.
The sudden death of Miss Sara
Steele at 5:40 Tuesday evening came
as a severe shock to townspeople of
Auburn. After being ill only one
week, her condition became grave a
few days ago and pneumonia devel­oped
Sunday. Physicians • held no
hope for her recovery Tuesday morn­ing.
From 1918 Miss Steele has been
connected with the college as assist­ant
in the registrar's office. In this
capacity she served the college and
the many students with whom she
came in contact. Both Prof. B. L.
Shi and Prof. Chas. W. Edwards, in
whose office she served, commended
her work in superlative terms and
mentioned the distinct loss to the
college and to Auburn caused by her
death.
"In the death of Miss Sara Steele,"
said Prof. Edwards, "this office has
sustained a great loss. For fourteen
years she had rendered intelligent
and faithful service. Absolutely
genuine, possessing a vigorous and
attractive personality, and always
retaining a sense of good humor, she
captivated all with whom she came
in contact. To know her well was
to appreciate and admire her."
Miss Steele is survived by two sis­ters
and two brothers, Miss Mary
Steele of Auburn, Mrs. Otto Brown
of Fairhope, Capt. Gordon Steele of
Ft. Benning, Ga., and Dr. Fred Steele
of Huntsville.
The funeral will be held from the
home at 10:30 o'clock Thursday
morning with the Rev. James R.
Edwards and Rev. Sam B. Hay offici­ating,
and Mrs. I. S. McAdory is in
charge of the- music. Interment will
take place in Auburn.
Following are those who will serve
as pallbearers: Prof. B. L. Shi, Prof.
Charles W. Edwards, Prof. John W.
Williamson, Julian Brown, Homer
Tisdale, and Kirtley Brown.
Work On 1932 Annual
Is Well Under Way
With most of the photographs al­ready
in hand, work toward early
completion of the 1932 Glomerata
is well underway, said Editor Farris
Wednesday who urges the coopera­tion
of all students who are yet to
supply information for the book.
Progress in the compilation of the
copy is being delayed just now be­cause
of failure of many seniors
whose pictures are to appear in the
annual to.supply necessary informa­tion
to accompany their photos. Mr.
Farris says that it is absolutely im­perative
that all such students go to
the Tiger Drug Store at once and
fill in the data on cards provided
there for this purpose. Saturday
noon of this week will be the deed-line
since the senior section must
be completed next week in. order to
earn certain discounts allowed by the
printer and engraver for early copy,
he said.
The latest date that photographs
of young ladies may be entered for
possible Beauty and Favorite Section
entry will be Wednesday, January
13. Eight photographs will be se­lected
for the Beauty Section and 12
for the Favorite Section. Photos
must be submitted to either the edi­tor
or business manager of the an­nual.
W. A. Benson, whose company will
print the book this year, has spent
the last several days in Auburn work­ing
out details with Mr. Farris.
Prospects for early delivery and for
an unusually attractive book are in
evidence.

LOOKING FORWARD
A new year. One which on the face seem
to hold little that could cheer the, under­graduate
mind that is given to any serious
considerations as to his future. No land
of promise glitters on the horizon, and the
proverbial ladder of success is a thing which
we grope blindly for in the darkness of
economic strife.
There is one hope—one that the cynic
can never ralize. Our mettle is being test­ed,
and those that weather the storm will
face the days of prosperity with thet hardi­hood
of adversity infilled in such a man­ner
that should lead to a more rational life
in the days to come. If we profit the reck­less
days of the past decade will not be
repeated.
We have been home for the holidays, and
have been brought closer to the true condi­tions.
Youth and age alike have been chal­lenged,
and the fight is in progress.
NEED OF NEW SYSTEM
Exactly eleven days after the resumption
of classes after the Christmas vacation ex­aminations
for the ending of the first se­mester's
work will begin. The average
class will meet five times during this
period and the completion of the course
with the customary review work wlil be
confusingly crowded into these few days.
There is no doubt that the average stu­dent
requires at least 4wo or three days to
recover from a holiday relaxation of two
weeks leaving only a week in which he is
able to derive any benefit from the closing
confusion of the term.
With these thoughts in mind it seems
altogether plausible that a scholastic year
divided into quarters would be the most
successful plan to follow and a greater
amount of benefit would be derived by stu­dents
should such a system be devised. With
term examinations scheduled so that they
would come quarterly and creit for college
hours .given in proportion to the time spent
in the courses, much of the confusion which
arises at this time of the year would be
disposed of and would ultimately lead to
more successful series of final examinations.
Many colleges and universities today use
this system and seem to find it highly sat­isfactory.
Accomplishing a two-fold task
this system does away with term examina­tions
directly after the holiday season and
lessens the amount of work that must be
covered under the system now in use.
COMBINATION OF PRINCIPLE
American education is founded on two
ideals—one the ideal of discipline and the
other freedom. We have our extreamist in
both cases. Youth demands freedom ever
when his intellectual curiousity is aroused,
and practically every institution attempts
in some degree to curb his desire.
These two ideals have a direct relation
to the development of character and intel­lect,
and it has been the policy of- American
institutions to undertake this dufold task.
Long have educators and students alike,
realized the necessity of ..discipline. That
one must learn to obey before he can give
orders. Must learn self control before he
can control others. Yet it would seem that
too much discipline would stifle all individ­uality,
giving birth to a host of "yes" men.
We, the subjected youth, know that this is
the wrong idea when carried to its limit.
Yet, we must admit, like the poet, that
many souls have broken with the weight
of too much liberty. We need freedom and
we need discipline. Most of us are in col­lege
in the period of transition to man­hood.
The transition has progressed to
the point that we realize the fatalness of
complete unrestraint, but intensely feel
that desire to seek our own salvation.
It would seem, in view of these tacts,
that those schools who have succeeded in
seasoning logical discipline with enough
stimulus to feed budding individuality are
best accomplishing the purpose of their es­tablishment.
MID-TERM DANCES
On January 21 Bernie Cummins and his
New Yorkers will arrive to furnish the
music for the Junior Prom, to be held on
January 21, 22, 23 inclusive. This orches­tra
has a countrywide reputation, and
everyone is looking for a magnificent per­formance
from Bernie and his boys.
Robert Greer, president of the class of
1933, will lead the Grand March on Friday
night, at which time the second evening
dance of the Prom is to be held. The deco­rations
are Stygian in style, and no one
knows just what devilry is to be depicted
on the walls of Alumni Gymnasium.
These dances promise to be the best of
the year, and the Plainsman takes this op­portunity
to urgje each member of the
student body to attend as many of them
as possible. The freshmen are especially
encouraged to take advantage of this op­portunity

FOR BETTER OR WORSE
The earth, in the course of its wander­ings,
has again passed that spot in its
orbit designated by astronomers as the.be­ginning;
therefore, the inhabitants of the
globe say that a new year has begun. Ob­viously,
the saying is a fallacy, for a circle,
or rather in this case an eclipse, has no
beginning and no ending.
In spite of this perfectly obvious piece of
logic, which has been advanced often and
which is, in itself, incontrovertable, the
world accepts the first day of January as
the beginning of a new year and finds it a
useful custom. The use is briefly that such
a time as the beginning of a new year is
emminently fitted for taking stock, for in­ventory
not only of physical goods and ac­complishments
but also of mental growth.
It is no easy matter to calmly look at the
spectacle of oneself in saying, "How am I
different from the person who was me last
year?" It is infinitely harder to give a
helpful and frank answer to the question.
Many individuals and institutions try to
do this. Perhaps the most famous review
of past events in the Memorabilia which
has been annually prepared by the bishop
of the Moravian church in Winston-Salem.
The custom has seemed so useful that it
has been preserved through something like
fifty or more years.
By now, much of this inventory work is
over, and the question arises as to what is
to be done about it. We cannot venture an
answer, we simply say that any thoughtful
answer will be a help to a much better year.
The future will be either better or worse,
as Calvin Coolidge is quoted as saying. In
many ways it can hardly be worse, per­haps
it can be made better.

OLD BOOKS
By Clinton Scollard
"I have no craze for curios—
A craving many folk affect,
Grim idols ranged in grinning rows
And bottles, twisted-necked.
"But an old book, this meets my need,
Quarto or folio, as you please,
An ancient Marlowe, foxed and flea-ed,
, A first HEPERIDES.
"Although the little worm and blind
.Has pierced the binding or the page,
And though the leaves be sfired and lined
With the dull rust of age.
"Yet I am overmastered much
By feelings I may not control,
As if there throbbed beneath my touch
The poet's very soul."

* Welcome back to
Auburn! Things are
dull in Auburn when
this student body is
away on a vacation.
It is true that we
come back to work but
it is good to be back
nevertheless. T h e re
are important things
for us all to consider but the most import­ant
one is to let nothing interfere with our
attention to the task of reviewing and'get­ting
up on all of our work for the final ex­aminations.
I know examinations are dif­ficult.
We must face them all through life.
There is no escape from being tested. The
man who isN ready succeeds and the one
who is not ready fails. It is so in college;
it is so in after life. Be ready when the
time comes.
* * * *
The problem of our social life here at
Auburn is difficult and it will continue to
be difficult until the institution is larger
and we have more facilities such as a Stu­dent
Union Building and other places where
entertainments can be held. There are
pebple in this state who think Auburn has
built more than she should have. If they
only knew the truth they would know that
we are so starved and poverty stricken for
adequate buildings to carry on the work of
the institution that it will take a long time
for us to get things organized and in shape.
We are not disposed to hurry but we do
like to make progress.
* * * *
Only a certain number of dances can be
given in the gymnasium. The building has
to be used for athletic purposes and for
physical education. At the present time
I think we ought to limit the number of
dances given in the gymnasium to the three
annual periods of the fall, mid-semester
and commencement dances and add to these
a dance to be given by the "Ag" Club, one
by the Engineers on Engineer's Day, one
by the Inter-Fraternity Council, one by the
Student Cabinet and the rest of the dances
should be given by the "A" Club. If we
enlarge this program to let every organi­zation
in the institution which wants to
raise a little money have a dance in the
gymnasium the whole situation will become
impossible. I shall insist upon the proper
committee functioning to put this matter
in shape.
* * * *
Education is very much on trial these
days. I sometime think we are changing
our point of view. Not many years ago
the emphasis was on the earning capacity
of the college graduate. The emphasis is
beginning to be on the social value of the
service the college graduate can perform
in society and by society I mean to use the
term in the sense of organized society. There
will be less emphasis on the selfish side of
life and more emphasis on the unselfish.
Any man can make his way in the world
and can perform a worthwhile service in­telligently,
adequately, efficiently and espe­cially
can he do it if he has the power not
only to do the routine thing but to think
-honestly and logically from the things
which are being done on to those which
ought to be done. It may be that the world
will not become less selfish. One may doubt
whether human nature will change. How­ever
unless I am seriously wrong the dif­ficulties
of the years 1930-31-32 are going
to make the people of the world think and
think deeply. It is distressing to think that
while the deep problems of the distribtuion
of wealth, of the- adjustment of wholesale
and retail prices to the new conditions of
.the baffling problem of reestablishing our
commerce with Europe, especially for cot­ton,
and a thousand other problems are cry­ing
out for a solution, we can see a mere
game of "contract bridge" between two
couples in New York called the "Battle of
the Country", get front page notice when
the poor are about us by the millions arid
respectable, fine men and women are out of
employment. A game of bridge to pass
away the time and get a little recreation
may be all right but to make it so overim-portant
as this New York affair is a pretty
sure indication of the perverting of our
ideals regarding social values. I would
rather be connected with a football team
that could give fifty thousand dollars to
charity.

WITH OTHER COLLEGES
Alas and alack! We mourn for our
Plainsman. A comtenplation of the depths
to which we must now sink is too appalling
to be described. Even before, the holidays
we feared that such a calamity might occur.
After the holidays, even our slow, blunted
wits were able to fully take in the unseem­ly,
woeful fact. That superlative effort of
Southern coHegiate journalism, the "South's
Greatest Semi-weekly", comes no more to
serve as a shining example which we of the
Plainsman might strive valiantly and earn­estly
to emulate. This grievous wrong,
which possibly has been brought about by
the seditious utterances against the para­gon
of college papers in these columns, can
only leave us dejected and forlorn. Cer­tainly
we meant no harm. And the blow,
coming directly on the heels of the Crimson-
White's gracious condescension in allowing
us of the Plainsman to improve our paper
by quoting from its eminent columns, is
doubly hard Ho bear up under. Horrible
thought!
• Our paper, in which we have taken so
much pride, on which we have spent many
hours of time which might have been spent
in playing bridge, or worse, studying, wal­lowing
in the mire of commonplace journal­ism,
with the door to eminence and the seats
of the mighty slammed in its face! Alas,
that we ever saw a copy of the illustrious
Crimson-White. Ignorance, it is said, is
bliss; but once having seen the vistas of
beyond the blackness and ugliness of ignor­ance,
life is a veritable hell. And thus it
is with us. While the Crimson-White came
to us, we at least had an ideal, which we
valued highly and esteemed above all. Now,
borne down, abject, and of sorrowful count­enance,
we bewail the fact that we have
no longer the helping hand which was ex­tended
down to us by the Crimson-White.
But, there being no god but the Crimson-
White, we must betides console ourselves
and be content with our sad lot. Possibly
the missionaries which have been promised
for the mid-term dances will be able to
clear things up a little.

We had almost dared to believe that
The Plainsman had been reinstated in the
graces of the girls in Montevallo, in view
of the lapse of their publication's satirical
editorial onslaught. However, reports of
no uncertain nature have been forthcom­ing
to members of our defamed staff, to the
effect that we have reached a new low ebb
in the reading minds of the state's flowers
of young womanhood. #We understand
Hooey has become very popular.

The craze for statistics about college
freshmen-—a thing we've never been able
to understand—continues in as full swing
as ever. The latest to be published is that
at Barnard College, a girl's school, which
fact may make it interesting. Miss 1935
at this school has been compared with the
elass of 1925. It was revealed that the av­erage
girl, to graduate in '35, has a strong­er
grip (the better to hug you with, my
dear), weighs a little more (the better to—
why keep this up?), has a larger lung ca­pacity,
and has greater chest expansion.
Evidently not total busts, these girls. In
1925 the average girl was 63.79 inches tall.
Now the average height is 64.33 inches.
The 1925 grip, in the height of the flapper
age, was only 57.11 pounds. This year
the grip is 70.69 pounds. Practice makes
perfect.
In the physical tests, it was found that
Miss 1935 can high jump 3 feet 2 inches
(actually!) and, marvel of marvels, can
vault 4 feet 2 inches. Athletic maidens
these. And thats not all her accomplish­ments.
She can run 25 yards in 4.8 sec­onds,
and can throw a basketball 37 feet
8 inches.
Princeton went a little further in its cal­culations.
The average freshman at Prince­ton
is 18 years 4 months and 20 days old.
The class birthday is May 1, 1913.

Since our exchanges are not coming in
as yet we have been forced to reopen old
wounds in a noble effort to fill our column.
However, several hundred college editors
and their staffs resume work this week, and
their plots on undergraduate America will
be passed on here at an early date. We
sincerely trust that every college journal­ist,
including one Elwood Richardson, had
a most enjoyable holiday season; and that
the new year finds all of us with a few new
ideas.
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.
ACCORDING TO reports that_ have
come directly or indirectly to the
writer of this column, Conscientious
Cletus is merely a brainless fanatic who is
not to be taken seriTJusly on anything he
says. That being the case, and having al­ready
stepped outside the ring of simling
conventionality, which automatically incurs
the displeasure of many of the so-cajled
leaders about the campus, Cletus has all to
gain and nothing to lose in continuing this
column with no change in editorial policy.
This statement is made in order to start the
new year off right, and to be sure that there
will be no misunderstanding regarding
questions of policy.
* * * *
Cletus is always ready and willing to ac­cept
good advice. The best thing to do in
that connection, however, is to take all good
advice and then do as you please. That
may be considered as a further statement
of the policy of this column.
* * * *
Cletus made only one resolution for the
new year: I, Conscientious Cletus, do here­by
resolve that I will do everything in my
power during the new year to use in more
places and for more things the most ex­pressive
word in the English language—
DAMN.
* * * *
Much emphasis at Auburn is placed on
honor fraternities, but it is often hard to
tell which division of the student body has
been honored, those elected or those left out.
Fraternity politics is developed to a most
complicated state in this particular phase
of our campus activities, and until our hon­or
fraternities come to the place where
they will reward outstanding merit as such,
membership in them will continue to mean
absolutely nothing except the satisfaction
of personal vanity.
The question will be raised on every hand
regarding the author's right to mention this
subject, so to answer in advance Cletus
would like to say that these opinions are
made by an ineligible outsider judging as
objectively as possible the conditions as they
really exist on the campus. To be in keep­ing
with the recent new year's resolution
Cletus would like to'also state that he does
not care a damn who thinks this subject
is discussed for personal reasons.

Theodore Roosevelt was vehement-in his
denunciations of Taft. A newspaper man
to whom he had once discoursed long and
loudly went subsequently to Taft with a re­port
of the conversation. .Taft was in no
wise perturbed, but said meditatively: "You
know, Teddy puts all Presidents into two
categories: Lincoln and Washington are in
the first, and all the others are in the sec­ond.
He, of course, belongs in the Lincoln-
Washington class, and — well you know
where he puts me. He reminds me of the
little boy who came, home one day and told
his mother: 'Mama, I am the smartest boy
in our school!' 'Did your teacher tell you
so?' his parent asked. 'Oh, no, Mama, I
found it out for myself.
* * * *
It is not necessary to make any compari­son
with Auburn's honor fraternities and
the above paragraph but it might be added
that there would be more to compare than
to contrast.
* * * *
The following letter written by Louis
Carroll might be of some use to college stu­dents:
January 1, 1895
. . . . "You are quite correct in say­ing
it is a long.time since you have heard
from me: in fact, I find that I have not
written to you since the 13th of last No­vember.
But what of that? You have
access to the papers, you can find out
negatively, that I am all right! Go care­fully
through the list of ruptcies; then run
your eye down the police cases; and, if
you fail to find my name anywhere, you
can say to your mother in a tone of calm
satisfaction, ' is going on well'."
THREE ELEMENTS
By Audrey Wurdemann
Reproved by constant and unheeding beauty
Swart Clytemnestra scarcely can be blamed
For lapses and relapses in her duty
Toward that tall lovely sister she defamed.
Helen was an immortal; Helen ever
Was sly and smiling; Clytemnestra grew
Hardy with wisdom of the ways to sever
Her loves and quarrels from the family view.
These were women like three elements.
Leda was sultry copper when the swan
Stooped earthward; silver beauty pitched
the tents
In Asia while a Trojan host dreamed on;
And proudly, bitterly, Clytemnestra wore
Hatred like rust that ate an iron core.

VARSITY AND FRESHMAN TEAMS
HAVE BANNER YEAR DURING 1931
All Branches of Sports at Auburn Share in Prestige Gained by
Winning Teams; Baseball Team Gets Top Honors by
Winning Dixie Championship
The year 1931 was a banner year
for varsity and freshman athletic
teams "here. Auburn's varsity foot­ball,
basketball, track and cross­country
representatives compiled an
impressive record of 39 victories, one
tie and 15 defeats in 55 dual en­gagements.
The tracksters also an­nexed
first honors in the Southeast­ern
A. A. U. track and field meet
for the second successive season and
placed sixth in" the Southern Con­ference
meet in Birmingham.
' The Orange and Blue plebe foot­ball,
basketball, baseball and track
teams, under Earl McFaden, who has
no peer in the South as a director of
first-year college athletics; Wilbur
Hutsell and Dunham Harkins, added
18 triumphs to the Tigers already
lengthy string of wins and received
11 setbacks. The frosh gridders won
four games and lost two, the cage-sters
won six and lost four, the thin­ly-
clad wearers won one dual" meet
and lost one and the diamond hope­fuls
won seven and lost four. The
McFaden-Harkins moleskins wearers
finished the season with the best rec­ord
ever made by an Auburn rat
team on the gridiron.
In baseball, Coach Sam McAllis­ter's
proteges won the Dixie League
and Southern Conference champion­ships,
returning the latter pennant
to the Plains for the second time
since the 1928 nine was crowned
rulers of Dixie's college baseball
kingdom. Auburn won the Dixie
League gonfalon with a record of 15
wins and four defeats and the con­ference
flag with a record of 12 wins
and three losses. The Tigers failed
to lose a series during the year and
only Florida managed to break even
in four games.
The initial season of the Dixie
League was dominated by Auburn.
The Plainsmen had the leading pitch­ers,
Dunham Harkins and Clifford
Smith; the leading batter, Joe Burt;
placed six players, Harkins, Burt,
Smith, Charles Kaley, Harry Lloyd
and Duck Riley, on the all-Dixie
League nine, and captured every ma­jor
award in the circuit. Smith and
Burt were selected by College Humor
as All-American.
The 1931 Plainsmen, coached by
Head Coach Chet Wynne and his as­tute
assistants, Roger Kiley and Sam
McAllister, had the best gridiron
machine to represent Auburn in close
to a decade, winning five games, ty­ing
one and losing three. The
Wynne-Kiley-McAllister board of
strategy produced one of the best
coached teams the South has ever
seen. Georgia Tech was defeated
for the first time since 1919 and the
Tigers jumped from 21st place in
the Southern Conference standings
at the close of the 1930 season to a
four-way tie for eighth place at the
close of the past campaign. They
were deadlocked with Sewanee and
South Carolina, whom them defeat­ed,
and Duke.
Jimmie Hitchcock, captain-elect of
the 1932 eleven, was chosen on' many
all-Southern teams and was unani­mously
selected on the official second
all-Southern. Experts also gave him
all-American consideration. Other
Tigers who were picked on all-
Southern teams or mentioned for this
honor were: Porter Grant, Buddy Mc-
Collum, James Bush, "Boots" Cham-bless,
David Ariail, Lindley Hatfield,
Casey Kimbrell and Allen ' Rogers.
Grant, Ariail and Bush also received
several votes for all-American.
McAllister took charge of a group
of hardwood'artists last season who
had won only one conference tilt
the previous year and turned out one
of the top-notch cage quintets below
the Mason-Dixon line. The baske-teers
finished with a season's record
of 12 wins and six losses. They lost
in the second round of the confer­ence
tournament to Georgia, 31 to
27, after downing Virginia, 33 to 26,
in the first round. The Cavaliers were
the only team to defeat the South­ern
Conference champions, Mary
land, during the year. Auburn's
seven-point margin over Virginia was
the largest made by any team the
initial day of the tourney.

With Buffet Supper
Washington Irving said, "Of all
the old festivals that of Christmas
awakens the strongest and most
heartfelt associations." So it was
when Dean and Mrs. Cary opened
their charming home during the
Christmas holidays to the members
of the Art Study Club who enter­tained
their husbands with a buffet
supper.
/The lovely old home with its spiral
stairway, wide halls, and well-pro­portioned
rooms lent itself beautiful­ly
to the Christmas decorations of
southern srnilax, miseltoe and holly.
Myriads of white tapers danced mer­rily
from mantles and consoles. A
perfect setting it was for the mem­bers
of the Club who came in old-fashioned
attire.
After a delicious four course sup­per
amid fun and merriment the
party assembled in the drawing room.
At once the gentlemen were chal­lenged
to exhibit a chivalry equal
that of^the colonial and Victorian
periods in the presentation of oloS
fashioned bouquets to the ladies. The
response was excellent, Dr. Allison

Ralph Jordan, 1931 captain, and
Tom Lumpkin, forwards; Jack Stew­art,
captain of the 1932 five, center,
and Charles Kaley, Lindley Hatfield
and Harbin Lawson, guards were the
mainstays on McAllister's first team
at the Plains and all are leading
candidates for the 1932 team. Jor­dan,
Stewart and Lumpkin finished
as ninth, tenth and 13th high scorers
in the conference last season, and
Kaley had few equals as a guard.
As long as Wilbur Hutsell is steer­ing
Auburn's track ship, the Tigers
will be feared in this sport. The
1931 track and field team only added
to Hutsell's already brilliant and
amazing record as a coach. During
the 10 years Hutsell has been head
track coach of Auburn, the Bengals
have lost only two dual meets, and
the Plainsmen mentor has produced
two world champions, a co-holder of
a national championship mark and
seven Southern record holders. His
latest sensation is Percy Beard, the
world's greatest hurdler, who has
been selected as one of 10 to be in
-the final balloting for the Sullivan
award, given annually to the great­est
amateur athlete in the United
States. Bobby Jones reecived the
award last year.
The highlight of tKe 1931 track

the game and after being re-insert­ed,
scored almost at will. The pass
ing was a bit ragged but the Tiger
sharpshooters made most of their
scoring opportunities good. The de­fensive
work of Kaley and Hatfield,
varsity guards, was excellent and
they gave the visitors few shots.
Arenowitch, former University of
Georgia forward and scoring ace of
the Hubbard team, was held to six
points.
"Red" Lawson and Ralph Jordan
tied for high score honors with 10
points with Tommy Lumpkin follow­ing
closely behind with eight. Cap­tain
Jack Stewart played the floor
well and accounted for seven points.

the Birmingham-Southern
Panthers in Birmingham Friday night
and opening their conference sched­ule
on the following night against
Vandy in Nashville.
Line-ups and summary:
The close of the 1931 gridiron sea­son
meant only a change of athletic
toggery for seven members of the
football team. Robert Arthur, David
Ariail, "Boots" Chambless, Sterling
Dupree, Lindley Hatfield, Ralph Jor­dan
and Sam Mason are the Auburn
football players working hard to earn
regular places on Coach Sam Mc­Allister's
1932 cage five.
All except Arthur and Mason re­ceived
letters for services during the
past football season and were import­ant
cogs in the Plainsmen having one
of the strongest and best coached
teams in Dixie. Arthur and Mason
were awarded football letters in
1930, but injuries prevented them
from making the grade during the
1931 campaign. Arthur, six feet five
inches tall, is a candidate for center
on the cage team, and Mason, anoth­er
six-footer, is a leading contender
for a forward berth. The former
plays tackle on the gridiron and the
latter end. Mason, all-state forward
in high school at Tallassee, should
have a good season on the court.
Hatfield and Jordan have been reg­ular
basketeers since their plebe year
in 1929 and stand out with the best
in the South. Hatfield has been a
stellar halfback on the varsity eleven
for the past three seasons and Jordan
has been a mainstay in the center of
the line for a similar number of cam­paigns.
Both will leave vacancies
that Coach Chet Wynne will have a
hard time filling next fall.
In basketball, Hatfield plays guara
and Jordan forward. Though not sen­sational
as a hoopster, Hatfield is a
star when the score is the closest. He
is an accurate shot from center when
a goal is needed and is a typical'
Scotchman in guarding his opposing
forward. He gives his opponent very
few sliots. Hatfield lives in Mont­gomery.
*
Jordan, Selma boy, captained the
hoop artists as a junior last season
and has led the team in scoring the
past two years. He has a dead eye
for the baskets and ranked as the
ninth high scorer in the Southern
Conference in 1931. He is a second
"Jelly" Akin in hitting the cords and
is also a superb performer On.the de­fense.
Ariail, Chambless and Dupree, a
trio of sterling performers at end,
guard and fullback on the football
eleven, are sophomores. McAllister
is grooming Ariail to play center,
Chambless guard and Dupree for­ward.
Ariail and Dupree received
freshman basketball numerals last
season. Chambless, a crack guard in
prep school, failed to go out for the
cage team as a freshman.
Ariail and Chambless were two of
the greatest sophomore gridders in
the South, both receiving all-Southern
and all-American recognition. Dupree
1651bs. of TNT, and a speed-merchant
was too. light to star at the line-plunging
post, but rose to high
heights in several games. He scored
in the final game against South Caro­lina
on a 15 yard pass from Jimmie
Hitchcock and a brilliant 35-yard run.
Ariail hails from Birmingham, Cham-bless
from Montgomery and Dupree
from Sylvester, Ga.

Farmers and Business
Men to Hold Meetings
During the months of January and
February 73 county meetings of
farmers, bankers, and business men
will be held in Alabama to study the
present agricultural and business sit­uation
and outlook, and also to pre­pare
a program for better and more
profitable farming in each county of
Alabama this year. Plans and sched­ules
of these meetings were announ­ced
here by District Agents J. T.
High, R. G. Arnold, and Emmett
Sizemore who will participate in
conducting them. They will be as­sisted
by extension service special­ists
and also by J. C. Cannon, G. T.
Sargent, and P. C. Brook, supervis­ors
in vocational education.
The meetings are being arranged
by county agents assisted by teach­ers
of vocational agriculture. At­tendance
is expected to vary from a
few hundred to more than a thous­and
per meeting.
Data will be presented with a view
to assisting farmers in getting the
best results from their operations in
1932. The aim is to follow the safe
and profitable farming program
which thousands of Alabama farm­ers
followed last year.
Auburn Curb Market
Has Unusual Variety
One who visited the Auburn Curb
Market during December was sur­prised
to see such unusual things on
sales as green butterbeans, fresh
English peas, fresh bell peppers and
tomatoes. The usual line was car­rots,
beets, turnip greens, eggs,
chickens, turkeys, butter, cottage
cheese, dried peas, and butterbeans,
potatoes, pecans, peanuts, apples,
fruit cake, jelly, smoked sausage,
souse meat, holly and flowers.
The Auburn Curb Market is a
small market but fills a real need
and has proven successful. There is
an opening for more sellers since
several members have moved away.
Mrs. D. S. Foster is market master.

TRAVIS BROWN, MEMBER OF ARMY
BACKFIELD, VISITS PARENTS HERE
Brown Participated In Four Major Sports Here Before Entering
West Point In 1930; Breaks Into Regular Army Line-up
In Army-Yale Game
Travis Brown, son of Dr. and Mrs.
J. V. Brown, of Auburn, sophomore,
at West Point Military Academy, re­turned
to West Point last week, after
spending the Christmas holidays here
with his parents and friends.
Travis participated in the four ma­jor
sports here for three years be­fore
entering West Point in 1930.
fie performed at end on the football
eleven, guard on the cage five, be­hind
the plate on the diamond nine
and threw the javelin on Coach Wil­bur
Hutsell's track team. He was
awarded freshman numerals at Au­burn
in football, basketball and base­ball
and probably would have re­ceived
a varsity letter in football if
a knee injury had not kept him from
performing at his best.
He showed promise of developing
into a star gridder his plebe year at
the Army and became an outstanding
player as a sophomore on Army's
1931 team. Because he was behind
in his studies, Brown failed to break
into the regular line-up until the
tilt with Yale, October 24.
After seeing service against the
New Haven Bulldogs, the erstwhile
wearer of the Orange and Blue star­red
in the remaining games on
Army's schedule, especially did he
stand out in the tilts with L. S. U.,
Navy and Notre Dame.
Brown was one of the greatest
"money" players in the East, throw­ing,
a pass for the first time to Ray
Stecker that scored against Notre
Dame and kicking a field goal for the
initial time against the Navy. His
savage defensive work and his superb
blocking ranks him as a potential all-
American.
This ex-Plainsman was also a main­stay
on the 1931 plebe baseball team
at West Point and it would not be
surprising to see him performing as
regular catcher on Army's varsity
nine next season. He is a heavy
hitter and has an accurate peg to the
bases.
Before donning diamond toggery,
Brown will probably become a candi­date
for the hockey team. He likes
this sport and is no neophyte in push­ing
the puck, having played this
game at Northwood School, Lake
Placid, N. Y., before matriculating
at Auburn.
In his opinion, Jess Quatse, Pitts­burg
tackle, was the best lineman
that Army faced during the past
gridiron campaign and that Barry
Wood, Harvard quarterback, had few
equals the day that Army played
Harvard.
He also praised his teammate, Ray
Stecker, halfback. "Stecker was
truly an all-American and looked
much better than Schwartz, Notre
Dame ail-American halfback, the af­ternoon
that we played the Irishmen"
chatted Brown.
While here, Auburn's future lieu­tenant
presented his father, who is
executive secretary of the Alabama
Polytechnic Institute Alumni Asso­ciation,
with a football which was
autographed by 23 members of the
Army's 1931 varsity football squad.
Along with thousands of others,
he believes that Army and Navy will
resume athletic relations during the
1932-33 scholastic term.
Atlanta Journal Sports Writer Says
Percy Beard Best Athlete of Year
Many sports critics are considering
Percy Beard as the greatest amateur
athlete of 1931. The following is
taken from Ole Timer's column in
the Atlanta Journal.
Barney Berlinger, of Penn, the
great all-round track and field ath­lete,
was awarded the James E. Sulli­van
memorial medal as America's
outstanding amateur athlete for
1931. It was that trophy which
went, practically by acclamation, last
year to Robert T. Jones II of Atlanta.
There would be no disposition in
this column to cavil at the choice,
even if it were not a fact that about
600 of the country's leaders in sports
constituted the jury and undoubted­ly
voted only after conscientiously
pondering their decision.
Berlinger has been an outstanding
figure in track and field competition
for several years, and of him it was
said by his nominator, "He is a sterl­ing
competitor, an honor student, a
fine sportsman and a true amateur."
In my provincial pride, though, I
had hoped the award might go to
Percy Beard, that lanky and solemn-faced
young instructor in civil engi­neering
down at Auburn. He was a
nominee also, and I have no doubt
received many votes.
Beard's achievement in winning the
national 120 yards high hurdle cham­pionship
at Lincoln last summer and

adverse weather conditions, must re­main
as the single greatest athletic
achievement of the year. He cover­ed
the flights and distance in 14 1-5
seconds, one of the three watches
showing the time as 14 1-10.
That's the sort of athletic peform-ance
about which there can be no
argument, for it is subject to precise
measurement. You may argue about
supremacy among football players or
baseball players or competitors in a
lot of other sports, but not about
track and field athletes. Their ^ex­ploits
are measured with an accuracy
that does not fail.
Percy Beard's feat was so great
it deserves to be recalled on this first
day of the new year, for it is one
that every southerner should be
proud of.
He ran on a water-soaked track on
a gloomy day, while he was lashea
by a steady rain. He, was competing
against a field of the greatest hurd­lers
in America. He defeated them
and he broke a world's record set
eleven years before and equalled only
thrice since that afternoon in June
of 1920, whn Earl Thomson, of Dart­mouth,
turned in 14 2-5 seconds.
When Thomson set that record un­der
perfect conditions of track and
weather it was predicted that there
had just been achieved a feat that
would never be surpassed.
As a matter of fact, nine years
passed before it was equaled. In 1929
Wennstrom, the Swede, was credited
with the same time and later that
same summer Steve Anderson, of
Washington, also was put within the
bracket.
Early last spring Lee Sentman, of
Illinois, was admitted to share in
the record, but his period of su­premacy
was short, for along came
Beard with his brilliant exploit.
Thirty-four years ago Alvin C.
Kraenzlein, the great Penn sprinter,
hurdler and jumper, set the record
for the 120-yard hurdles a t ' 1 5 1-5
seconds. It was regarded as a mirac­ulous
performance and likely to
stand for perhaps a century for Kra­enzlein
was a physical prodigy. The
time did hold good for ten years,
Forrest Smithson reducing it to 15
flat in 1908. Smithson's feat pre­vailed
for eight years, Simpson cut­ting
2-5 of a second off it in 1916,
and four years later Thomson re­duced
it to 14 2-5.
Weems Baskin, himself a champion
hurdler for Auburn and the New
York Athletic Club, says Beard will
cut the record to 14 flat if he hap­pens
to no misfortune. He has per-
Two Prizes Offered
In Education Contest
Teachers and students alike will
be interested in two awards of $100
each which are . offered Southern
teachers' colleges and college de­partments
of education for partici­pation
in a simple project entitled
"The Quest for Understanding." The
project is sponsored by an associ­ation
of Southern educators inter­ested
in promoting a sane education­al
approach to the problems of jus­tice
involved in the South's racial
situation, and is promoted by the
Commission on Inter-racial Coopera­tion.
One award of $100 will go to the
student submitting the best paper on
this subject, based upon sources and
suggestions which will be supplied
without charge. An equal sum will
be awarded the class, group of clas­ses
or college making the best col­lective
use of the project. The clos­ing
date will be April 1, 1932.
The committee promoting the pro­ject
wishes to get in touch with all
students and professors who are in­terested,
and will furnish full infor­mation
and source materials on re­quest.
