ILLICIT PRACTICES DOWNED
BY EXECUTIVE COUNCIL; TO
ENFORCE NEW REGULATIONS
Body Concedes Honor System
Best; Adopted Until Such
Can Be Sustained
EFFECTIVE AT ONCE
Booklet To Be Distributed
Among Students And Par­ents;
Hope Problem Solved
Action on the part of the Execu­tive
Council, with regard to various
comments concerning illicit practices
on examinations, was effected this
week with the publishing of a book­let
containing a set of rules to gov­ern
examinations, quizzes, and home
problems. Each student and his par­ent
or guardian will be furnished
with a copy of these regulations.
The Council went on record as be­ing
of the opinion that the ideal
system is embodied in the honor sys­tem,
and left the impression the pres­ent
plan would be in effect only until
some such system could be success­fully
sustained.
The rules are as follows:
Rules for Examinations, Quizzes,
1. Books, notes, or other things
that might give unfair help on ex­aminations
must not be brought into
the examination room. On written
quizzes if brought to the room they
must be placed in advance where
the professor in charge designates.
2. When desired by any professor,
the college will furnish through the
department paper for quizzes as it
does for examinations.
3. No student may leave the room
during an-examination or quiz, with­out
permission of the professor in
charge. This permission shall be
given only in cases of absolute neces­sity.
4. It is the purpose of the college
to protect the h'onest students and to
reduce as far as possible the te'mpta
tion to others. To this end an in­structor
must be present with each
class during an examination or quiz.
At no time should any class be left
•without proper and constant super­vision,
and at no time during the ex­amination
or quiz shall the instructor
permit other matters to interfere with
this duty. Instructors are expected
to see that examinations and quizzes
are conducted in a quiet, orderly,
and dignified manner. They are urg­ed
to use all reasonable methods to
reduce temptation, to seat students
at safe distances apart, to change
their positions when suspicion is
aroused, to adopt such reasonable
methods as meet the approval of the
head of their department in regard
to giving different sets of questions,
mimeographing, etc.
5. As work done at home or out­side
of the recitation or laboratory
period cannot be carefully super­vised,
the grade on it should not
count heavily if at all in making up
the student's grade on the subject.
But any evidence of dishonesty
should be taken up with the head
of the department and his dean,
as in the case of quizzes or examina­tions.
6. In dealing with examinations,
quizzes, and home work, all instruc­tors
should remember that suspicion
is not proof. They should, there­fore,
while enforcing the rules dili­gently
and vigorously, do it with dig­nity
and consideration for all con­cerned.
7. Any evidence of cheating on an
examination or quiz shall be taken
up by the instructor with the head
of his department and his dean. If
they consider the evidence suffici­ently
strong to warrant a full invest­igation,
the case shall be submitted to
the Council, without recommenda­tion,
for full investigation and ac­tion.
8. Where the only evidence is sim­ilarity
of papers, and it is clear that
one student copied but it is difficult
to determine which one copied, the
' dean shall order zero for that test
for both parties and shall report the
case to the Council for further ac­tion,
with the understanding tjiat
if a student knowingly gives help

Alpha Psi Has Lead
In Church Contest;
Chi E. Chi Follows
Initial weekly reports on the Go-
To-Church-Month contest that is be­ing
sponsored by the Y. M. C. A.,
indicate that the Alpha Psi fraternity
holds the leading position among the
lodges on the campus with Chi Ep-silon
Chi closely following. Close to
the leaders is the Pi Kappa Alpha
fraternity which has a commanding
hold on third place.
This contest, which is sponsored an­nually
by the Y. M. C. A. was origi­nated
in an attempt to give impetus
to church attendance among fraterni­ty
members on the campus. This year
a change in the rules of the contest
allow only those members and pledges
who live in the chapter house to be
counted in the scoring. Each student
may gain a possible total of three
points for each Sunday with the scor­ing
to be made on a percentage basis.
A cup will be given to the winning
fraternity.
John Fonville, chairman of the com­mittee
in charge of the contest stated
that he wished to urge the fraterni­ties
to send in their reports at an
earlier date as no reports are ac­cepted
after the Thursday morning
following the Sunday to be counted.
Tentative Plans Made
For Golf Tournament
Tentative date for the Interclub
Golf Tournament was set for Satur­day
afternoon, March 19, at the meet­ing
of the Lions Club at the Thomas
Hotel, Thursday evening. The hand­some
trophy, for which Lions, Rotary
and Kiwanis clubs have competed for
the last three years, will be the perm­anent
possession of the Lions if its
team wins this year. This club has
won the last two competitions.
The contest will take the form of
three threesomes, composed of one
member from each club. Total scores
will be compared after the playing of
18 holes.
At the meeting Thursday evening,
the' club reported that its committee
was cooperating with representatives
from the other Auburn clubs in a pro­ject
regarding the town's sewerage
disposal system.
Phi Kappa Tau Host
To Fraternity Leader
Dr. E. E. Brandon, scholarship com­missioner
of the Phi Kappa Tau fra­ternity,
was in Auburn on Monday
and Tuesday to visit the local chap­ter.
Dr. Brandon expressed himself
as'favorably impressed with the col­lege
and quality of work being done
by fraternity men at Auburn.
Having a long and distinguished ex­perience
as an educator, Dr. Brandon
is emeritus vice-president of Miami
University at Oxford, Ohio. He also
holds the position of emeritus dean
of the college of liberal arts, having
been former head professor of Ro­mance
Languages at that institution.
Dr. Brandon was entertained while
in Auburn by one of his former stu­dents,
Prof. J. M. Robinson, Auburn
fraternity advisor.
Edwards Appointed To
Attend Library Meeting
Charles W. Edwards, associate
registrar at Auburn, has been com­missioned
by Governor Miller as a
delegate to the 54th Annual Confer­ence
of the American Library Asso­ciation
to be held in New Orleans,

Prof. Edwards has taken a promi­nent
part in library work in Alabama
having recently been active in an
effort to have a library extension
agency for the state. , . He has also
been active in the promotion of
County libraries in Alabama through
which books would be made avail­able
throughout rural districts.
ENGINEERS' DAY
TO BE OBSERVED
ON THURSDAY, 17
Technical Pictures, Barbecue,
Polo, And Baseball Are
Features
DANCE IN EVENING
Large Number of Out-of-Town
Girls Expected To Be Pres­ent
for Dance
Engineers' Day, observed annually
by all engineering colleges in honor
of St. Patrick, the first engineer, will
be held on March 17 this year, fh
observation of the occasion, the Au­burn
School of Engineering has plan­ned
a full day's program featuring
a series of technical pictures in the
morning, a barbecue at noon, various
sports in the afternoon, and closing
with the annual Engineers' Dance in
the evening.
The program for the day opens at
ten o'clock Thursday morning, March
17, with a series of technical engin­eering
pictures at the Tiger Theatre
for all students in engineering. Film
have been obtained from four large
companies and are said to be enter­taining
as well as educational, and
are well worth seeing. From the
General Electric Company the film
"Hottest Flame in the World" has
been secured. Westinghouse presents
"Electricity Goes to Sea", showing
scenes of one of the largest, most
modern, electrically equipped ships in
the world. Beautiful scenery in a
number of diferent harbors combine
to make this picture very entertain­ing.
The Eastman Kodak Company
has provided "A Trip Through Film­land",
and the Douglas D. Rothacker
Company presents the film, "Monel
Metal."
Immediately following the pictures
a barbecue in Ag Bottom at 11:30
is scheduled for engineering students
and the' guests of the Engineering
Department. A complete barbecue
dinner has been planned, the price
of which will be thirty-five cents
per plate.
In the event of rain the barbecue
will be held on the third floor of the
Textile Building, instead of in Ag
Bottom.
In the afternoon a polo game be­tween
two teams composed of mem­bers
of the polo squad, and the an­nual
baseball game between the Ags
and Engineers will be featured. The
polo game will precede the ball game,
the exact time of the two events will
be announced at a later date. All
engineers interested in taking part in
the baseball game are asked to report
to Jack Turner at the old Auburn
High School building at three o'clock
Monday afternoon, March 14.
The closing and best feature,, of the
program will be the Engineers' Dance
in Alumni Gym at nine o'clock Thurs­day
evening. A large number of bids
to the dance have been sent to, girls
in Alabama and other nearby states,
and with additional bids to be mailed
Monday a total -of two hundred are
expected to be sent out. Bids will be
received through Sunday, March 13,
at boxes placed in the Tiger Drug
Store and in Ramsay Hall. The name
of the girl, her address, the name of
the boy and his address must be plac­ed
on the bid card.
Decorations for the dance will be
done by the pledges of Tau Beta Pi
and Eta Kappa Nu, and although the
plan of decorations is not known, it is
expected ,that they will carry out a
theme along engineering lines.
Ribbons are to be distributed to all
engineering students on Thursday
morning and all classes > will be ex­cused
for engineers at ten a. m. Tick­ets
for the Dance Thursday night will
be on sale on and after Monday,
March 14.

Day have been sent to prom­inent
engineers in the larger southern
cities and a number of these men are
expected to be present.
NOTICE!
All Engineers interested in try-outs
for the Engineers Team will
meet Jack Turner at the old high
school Monday, 3 o'clock.
CHEMIST REVEALS
POISON CASES IN
VISCERA ANALYZED
Rate Found To Be 2 0 Per Year
Hare and Nixon Announce
Recently
NUMBER INCREASED
Many Cases of Homicide Trac­ed
to Poison As Result of
Analyses
The tragic wheels of ghastly pro­gress
have rolled into Auburn with
conclusive evidence that poison is used
entirely too frequently in Alabama
homicides. Viscera of three persons
of whose deaths poison was suspected
are now being analyzed by Prof. C.
L. Hare, State chemist, and H. W.
Nixon, chemist and toxicologist.
For a long time three was about
the average number per year but
now this number is on hand at one
time, and several others have been
analyzed already in 1932. The rate
now is about 20 a year.
Although the number has increased
from three to 20, Prof. Hare and
Mr. Nixon are not sure that the use
of poison in homicides has increased
proportionately. Either this is true
or, previously, poison cases were neg­lected,
for practically all of, the vis­cera
being received contain poison.
Meanwhile, Prof. Hare and Mr.
Nixon explained that this work is
done at Auburn with no appropria­tion
for this purpose, and with only
meager equipment. The Ross Chem­ical
Laboratory—erected two years
ago—contains a special laboratory for
such work but funds for operating
are not available. Consequently, chem­icals
and equipment used are either
borrowed or begged from other
sources. Yet, conviction or acquittal
of persons -accused of murder fre­quently
hinges upon evidence found
here by chemists and presented by
them at the trials.
As an average each viscus requires
from five to ten days for satisfactory
analysis. It must be checked, re-checked,
and double-checked in order
to be sure. Law enforcement and hu­man
justice depend upon it. Hence
it must be accurate.
Being experts in such work, Prof.
Hare and Mr. Nixon are able to de­termine
not only the kind of poison
used but when it was applied. They
recall one case in which death was
caused by other means and poison ap­plied
after death to cause miscarriage
of justice.
This fact was proven by the chem­ists
and used as evidence in the case.
Almost two years had elapsed before
the internal organs of the individual
were sent to Auburn for examination.
When examined a tremendous quanti­ty
of a deadly, corrosive poison was
found at one spot in the stomach, but
no trace of it was present in any
other organs. This led tri the conclu­sion
that the deadly potion was ex­ternally
administered after death. If
this were not the case, it would have
been absorbed by the body fluids and
distributed throughout the body.
The success of this work at Au­burn
has revealed clearly that mur­derers
who use poison have little
chance to escape punishment if the
State will provide adequate person­nel,
equipment, and chemicals for an­alytical
work. It is believed, that
such equipment will reduce the num­ber
of homicides, thereby saving lives
and also court costs incurred in try­ing
the accused.
Viscera where poison is suspected
are taken by coroners, doctors, or
sheriffs. Failure to exercise, precau­tion
in taking them and in packing
them for shipment adds to the bur­dens
of the chemists and toxicologists
here, making it more difficult for
them to get accurate and dependable
information. It is suggested by them
that before a viscus is taken the per­son
taking it should call Mr. Nixon
for information as to how to take it"
and how to pack it for shipment to
Auburn. This will accelerate the
work and insure accurate results.
The law requires that reports of
these analyses be sent to the probate
judge of the county in which the
death occurred.
Elections Will Be Held On March 30
As Announced; Action Taken As Date
Of Inspection Trip Causes Conflict
SENIORS LEAVE FOR ANNUAL
INSPECTION TRIP ON APRIL 3
Plans Complete For Elec and Mechanical Engineers; To Stop
At Thomas Jefferson or Moulton; Plans Tentative In Other
Departments
The inspection trip for the seniors
in mechanical and electrical engi­neers
should be doubly interesting
and instructive this year due to the
attractive schedule arranged. The
annual inspection trip is for the pur­pose
of demonstrating the practical
application of the theory work which
the students have been studying.
The inspection party which leaves
Sunday, April 3, for Birmingham
starts their actual work early Mon-day
morning. The numerous pipe
plants in and around Birmingham
will be visited Monday. On Tues­day
the party will visit the numer­ous
blast furnaces and steel plants
in Ensley. The American Steel and
Wire Co., the Tennessee By-Product
Co., and several cement plants will
be seen Wednesday. Thursday the
party will inspect the property of
the Birmingham Electric and Tele­phone
Co. Friday will be spent in
inspecting the Birmingham News
plant, the Birmingham Cold Storage
Plant and the Moore-Handley Hard­ware
Co. The last day of the in­spection
trip, Saturday, will be used
by some of the party to visit the port
of Birmingham while others will visit
the coal mines.
While in Birmingham, the students
will meet with the Birmingham
Branch of the American Society of
Mechanical Engineers. The party
will probably stay in the Thomas
Jefferson Hotel.
The firms and plants which this
party visits show the students and
leaders a great deal of cooperation
while inspecting their plants and if
it were not for their whole-hearted
cooperation this trip, which is of so
much benefit to the students would
not be possible.
Plans for the Civil Engineering
trip have not yet been announced.
.The Business Administration inspec­tion
trip plans have not yet been
completed although it was announ­ced
that they would soon be ready.

Auburn Responds To
Membership Drive
A splendid response in Auburn to
the quiet drive for membership in the
Alabama Society for Crippled Child­ren
is reported by Dr. Paul Irvine,
Lee County chairman.
Enrollments in Auburn consist of
17 members of the Kiwanis Club, 12
of the Rotary Club, 6 of the ladies of
the Episcocal Church, and several in­dividuals.
Other clubs have not re­ported.
Work is in progress in other parts
of the county and good results are
expected, Dr. Irvine said.
A no-decision dual debate between
Birmingham-Southern College team
and that of the Auburn Debating
Society was held in Auburn and Bir­mingham
Friday.
Andrew S. Turnipseed and Bryant
Whitmire, of Birmingham-Southern,
were guests of the society at Auburn
Friday evening, upholding the affir­mative
against the Auburn negative
team composed of Douglas Brown of
Ozark and Nicholas Hare of Monroe-ville.
Justin S. Morril of Mobile and W.
H. Baskerville of Birmingham, com­posing

Professional Smoker
New Class To Meet
At Tiger Theater
Chet Wynne's address to the newly
organized inter-denominational Sun­day
School class will be held in the
Tiger Theater at 9:30 in the morning,
instead of Langdon Hall as previously
stated. There is a possibility that
the class will be continued there.
The movement is an attempt on the
part of several religious leaders to
promote attendance among those stu­dents
not affiliated with any Sunday
School. As stated before efforts are
underway to have visiting speakers
each Sunday. • Among possible speak­ers
mentioned for the near future
are Morgan Blake and Judge Walter
Jones.
Showalter Acts As
Oratorical Judge
Dr. B. R. Showalter, director of
Auburn's extension teaching division
will serve as one of the judges at
the finals in the Birmingham News
Oratorical contest, April 22. He will
go to Birmingham at that time in re­sponse
to an invitation of A- A. Callo­way,
contest editor.
Over thirty members and guests
of Delta Sigma Pi were present at
a professional smoker which was held
on Thursday evening. Prof. W. C.
Crow featured the program with a
discussion of international economic
factors and their relation to interna­tional
unrest.
Mr. Harold Scott, one of the mem­bers
of the local chapter, enlivened
the discussion with a succession of
tales, the sincerity of which he guar­anteed,
concerning various incidents
in his very active life.
This entertainment is one.of a se­ries
being conducted by this society
the object of which is to bring to­gether
students who are interested in
economic questions and to establish
a feeling of closer relationship be­tween
members enrolled in the depart­ment
of Business Administration.
Upon the invitation of the local
chapter of this society, Judge Walter
B. Jones, prominent Montgomery ju­rist,
will speak to members of the
student body on Tuesday evening,
March 15th. He will speak in Ross
Chemical Laboratory at seven o'clock
and will use as his subjest, "The Cor­poration
As A Legal Entity." The
members of the faculty and the entire
student body are invited to hear
Judge Jones and a large number are
expected to take advantage of this
opportunity.
Bakery Fire Found
To Be False Alarm
Where there is smoke there must
be fire. Upon this theory a fire
alarm was sent in Tuesday night at
nine-thirty when a bystander noticed-that
the Electric Maid Bake Shop
was filled with smoke. Firemen and
volunteers rushed through the dense
clouds of smoke and smell of burning
bread to the rear of the bakery—but
found no blaze. The smoke was
found to be issuing from the oven in
which some bread had been left.

DEFINITE ACTION
A storm of comment actuated by articles
in this paper and in The Birmingham Age-
Herald has culminated in drastic action
on the part of the President and the Exe­cutive
Council. A new publication, which
sets forth with unerring clarity and direct­ness
the administration's attitude towards
student dishonesty, has recently been is­sued
by-the Executive Council.
"Conceding that the ideal system is that
which calls for manifestations of personal
honour on the part of the student, the
- Council has met the situation with a tem­porary
mechanism that will serve until
some form of Honor System is evolved.
Should this experiment work, every col­lege
in the nation will profit by its ex­ample.
Contemporary college journals re­veal
that the time-worn problem of cheat­i
n g on examinations has caused, and is
causing great concern on the part of col­lege
presidents, departmental heads, aca­demic
faculties, and student leaders in
every quarter.
Thorough student cooperation should
insure success to the plan. The Council's
and the President's efforts are the pro­duct
of untiring thought and sincerity.
We look for brighter days ahead.
PLEA FOR FAIR PLAY
The signal has been given for the annual
scramble. Once a year the student body
is allowed to satisfy its political aspirations,
and in all. cases, with no strings attached.
To speak more plainly, there are no rules
which can forceably crub any irregular
practices which are contrived by the various
groups so that they may redeem themselves
for the defeat of previous years. All else
gives way to subtle political manoeuvers
as the time for all class and publication
elections draws near.
Throughout the southern colleges this
spring there has been issued a general plea
for cleaner politics. We add to this plea
our sincere hope that cleaner practices will
be observed. If there was ever a golden
opportunity for clean practices, that op­portunity
presents itself in the collegiate
world. Corrupt campaigns are encounter­ed
soon enough upon departing from our
educational institutions and without a clean
basical custom instilled within future voters
there can never be a remedy for the condi­tion
in which the political parties of today
find themselves entangled.
We have no issues to announce other
than that. We havg no particular candi­date
whom we wish to support. We have
only a plea, that regardless of clan, lodge,
class, or faction, that the student body con­sider
the most capable candidate for the
position and cast out the primitive belief
that all elections are popularity contests.
As one of the college publications in the
South most aptly advised in a recent issue,
that the student body vote by conscience
rather than by prejudice.
ONE HOPE
The twilight period of a college career
is fast fading'into the darkness of a mat­ter-
of-fact and unsympathetic world, for
many just now.
There is a conventional picture of the col­lege
man leaving school with his diploma
to conquer the world. Not so this year.
We approach the future with few antici­pations.
The ladder of success is lost in
the cloud of economic depression. Our am­bitions
have been replaced with wanderlust
and "the devil may care" spirit.
Yet, there is one hope that never fades.
All of us feel that we shall have our try
eventually, and that every mettle will have
its chance to be tested. .

proud Prussian officer; now the proud Jap

Book Review
"A GARLAND FOR JOHN DONNE"
Ever since Harvard University invited
Thomas Stearns Eliot to join its English
department, interest in his writings has
increased. It may interest readers to know
that his is the opening chapter of a sym­posium,
A Garland for John Donne, edited
by Theodore Spencer and published by Har­vard
University Press. Mr. Eliot writes on
"Donne in Our Time," stressing his work of
reform of the English tongue and declaring
that, although the name of Donne is being
invoked by the metaphysical poets of our
day, he is really above fashions, too valua­ble
to be exploited for a day and then neg­lected.
This book contains additional essays
on Donne by Evelyn M. Simpson, Mario
Praz, John Hayward, Mary Paton Ramsay,
John Sparrow, George Williamson, and
Theodore Spencer.

"THE WEATHER TREE"
The new year brings with it a new novel
by Maristan Chapman, The Weather Tree,
another love story based on the life of the
hill people whose ways have changed but
slowly in the course of many decades.
Thelma Lane is the unspoiled girl of the
mountains who cannot understand the man­ners
of Lynn Clayton, the city man who
comes to look after his property. She
speaks the plain talk of her people, and it
amuses him; and she resents his questions
while she wonders whether hate or love in­spires
her feelings toward him. "I'll no
longer forbear you over here idling each
night," she tells him. "You're a weariness.
Must be you' think you're proudly wel­come."
But the characters are riot left to
speak a dialect to an alien world; the au­thor
uses the rich vocaulary for the telling
of the story, thus giving it an authentic
flavor. The fact that Maristan Chapman

"EVERY INCH A KING"
The book thatnoears the challenging title
Every Inch a King is a sympathetic study
of the character of Alfonso XIII of Spain,
written by Her Royal Highness Princess
Pilar of Bavaria, in collaboration with Ma­jor
Desmond Chapman-Huston. (E. P.
Dutton & Co.) A book about royalty writ­ten
by royalty—for commoners. A clear-cut
argument in favor of enlightened mon-archial
rule, with Alfonso as the example
of an unselfish, dependable, untiring con­stitutional
monarch, ready to give his peo­ple
wise and profitable leadership. Incident­ally,
her royal highness shows considerable
knowledge of foreign conditions, refuting
charges of corruption in Spain with ref­erences
to wholesale corruption under de­mocracies,
telling us that it is a normal
form of life in the United States and Great
Britain—"so normal, in fact, that those
practicing it do not always recognize that
it is there." The dole system in Great
Britain is condemned as the last stage in
venality when the maintenance of the dole
is made a matter of party bargaining.
Whether these lines were written by the
Princess herself or gratuitously introduced
by her collaborator is not indicated. We
are interested to learn that sport has a use­ful
place in the King's life—he uses his
sporting activities to advertise Spain, much
as the Prince of Wales wanders about un­der
the excuse of "selling" the British Em­pire.
Of interest are the revelations that
King Alfonso was a go-between during the
War, who, after being appealed to by his
various uncles, aunts, and cousins, procur­ed
the liberation of men and women con­demned
to death by the rival armies. If
the execution of Edith Cavell had not been
so precipitous it might have been stopped
through the good efforts of the wife of the
Spanish Ambassador at Brussels. The story
of Alfonso's difficulties with the govern­ment
are told from his standpoint and he
is shown as magnanimous, eager to meet
the wishes of his people, yet jealous of his
prerogatives and proud of the royal tradi­tions.
This book gives us a clear-cut idea
of what royalty expects of its own mem­bers
in these days of parliaments and elec­torates
and, more specifically, puts forward
what it conceives to be Alfonso's strongest
claim to fame.

During the last
week the college has
received from the
State cash on one
warrant which gives
us for college pur­poses
approximately
one-tenth of the an­nual
income for the
support of the college
itself outside of the Extension work and
the Experiment Station. With this we have
paid one month's salary of the entire teach­ing
staff and others on the regular pay
roll. The small balance is being devoted
to cleaning up as many of the small claims
as possible. The institution still has in its
possession a little over $260,000.00 in war­rants
due to the colleges teaching section of
the institution. As fast as we get the mon­ey
we are paying it out as fairly and as
judiciously as we can to keep the institu­tion
running.
This week there is being mailed to every
student and to every parent or guardian
of students a copy of the new regulations
regarding examinations, quizzes, etc., for
the purpose of bringing about better con­ditions
and clarifying the understanding on
the part of both faculty and students re­garding
these matters. The College Coun­cil
frankly states that the ideal method of
handling such matters is an honor system
but it does not believe such a system will
work until it can be sustained and enforced
by an overwhelming public sentiment in
the student body. I think all of us are anx­ious
to bring about that sort of a situation
as soon as possible. If we can now have
the united support of all men and women
who believe in Auburn to see to it that we
settle down under these regulations as coV
scientiously and as carefully as possible,
the desirable situation will be only a matter
of time. There are none of us, I am sure,
who want anything except the greatest
possible good for this institution. The
greatest possible good for each individual
who is a student at Auburn as well as for
all of us who are devoting our lives to the
institution as members of the teaching
staff, will result only when the education
at Auburn is thoroughly progressive, con­sistent
and of the highest possible integrity.
If we can be united as students and fac­ulty
in bringing about such a condition it
will promote that which is best for the
institution as well as for every individual
connected with it. The greatest good to
the entire group ought to be our object
and we must keep that ever before us.
We realize fully that rules alone will not
accomplish our purpose. The wholeheart­ed
support of right-thinking, earnest, sin­cere
students and the united effort of this
student body in which I have the most pro­found
faith can eliminate every bad prac­tice
at Auburn. In all the enforcement of
these rules the Council as a whole will be
the executive body which will pass upon
these matters and to their vote will be left
the decision.
One of the most lovable characters and
one of the most devoted of all Auburn men
has been compelled to take leave of absence
because of a physical break-down. Quiet,
earnest, hard-working, Bernard L. Shi has
gone away for a much needed rest. I re­gard
him as one of the finest men to deal
with students I have ever met. His sym­pathy
and understanding is wonderful and
I believe that he knows more Auburn men
either as students or as graduates of this
institution than any other man in the ser­vice
of the institution. I know the whole
institution joins with me in hoping that he
will be speeedinly restored to his usual
strength and vigor and that he will soon
be back with us at his old post working
as he has always worked unselfishly and
devotedly for the institution he loves so
deeply.

At the doorstep,
Whimpering to be let in.

FREEZING WEATHER CAUSES
HALT IN BASEBALL PRACTICE
Only One Workout Held This Week; Fear Continued Cold
Would Handicap Battery Candidates Who Have Already
Put In Three Weeks Work Getting Into Condition
The untimely arrival of freezing
weather has put a temporary halt to
the early spring practice of the Au­burn
baseball squad. Only one work­out
has been held this week and it
was necessarily limited to a few lim­bering
up exercises.
The battery candidates are well in
advance of the remainder of ' the
squad, having taken advantage of
the warm weather in February to put
in nearly three weeks of early work.
Another week or ten days of low
temperature would prove a decided
handicap to the pitchers, and would
offset their earlier activities.
Uniforms have been issued to
about thirty candidates including
eight letter-men. These veterans
will offer a fairly good foundation
for Coach Sam McAllister to build
upon, but the present squad does not
appear to offer the possibilities of
another Southern Conference cham­pionship.
From last season's top-notch
outfit are gone Joe -Burt, all-
American outfielder arid leading hit­ter
of the Dixie College League, Dun­ham
Harkins, another all-Dixie per­former
and dependable pitcher, Phil
Hodges, left fielder and expert base-runner,
and Pete Harris, valuable
utility outfielder.
Replacing the entire outfield will
be Coach McAllister's chief task.
Porter Grant, third baseman, has
been shifted to centerfield and will
probably fill that position in credit­able
style. The other two outfield
positions offer real problems, how­ever,
with Sam Mason, Ralph Jor­dan,
O'Barr, Marion Talley, Red
Jenkins, and Hamp Morris the most
likely contenders at the present time.
The infield seems to be settled with

National Business Women's Week
which is being observed by the local
Business & Professional Women's
club, as well as all clubs over the
country, was first observed in 1928.
March 6-12 marks the fifth annual
observance;
Miss Emma Dot Partridge of New
York City, who was executive secre­tary
of the National Federation of
Business and Professional Women's
clubs from 1924 to 1927 is respon­sible
for. suggesting the plan. The
week was originally designed to turn
the spotlight of publicity upon the
achievements of business and pro­fessional
women.
Although it has not strayed entire
ly from that idea, the emphasis has
changed from how business women
can improve their own status to the
contribution they can make as citi­zens.
The program for the current
Business Women's Week focusses up­on
the relationship of the business
woman to the community in which
she lives. Such topics as what men
and women can do to better munici­pal
governments, how the world can
be safeguarded against unemploy­ment
and depression, and how we
may achieve! a higher ideal of social
justice will be discussed by 1,325
business and professional women's
clubs throughout the United States.

'Y' NOTES
In the effort to follow up some of
the ideas and thoughts of Religious
Week", Jim Hardwick has come to
our campus to meet in a more per­sonal
and intimate way as many of
the different groups as possible. He
is visiting some of the fraternities
and dormitories and talking with
them about the problems of both a
personal and fraternal interest.
Jim is the associate secretary of
the Southern Region of the National
Y.M.C.A., being an assistant to
Claude Nelson, who visited here last
week. Jim is a graduate of V. P. I.,
where he studied Agriculture. He
played the end position on the foot­ball
squad while there. He is still a
student in spirit and can so easily
talk to students about their problems
and get next to their innerselves.
Next week we will have with us
for a few days John Minter, travel­ing
secretary for the Student Volun­teer
Movement. He has paid us a
visit once before this year and we
are glad to welcome his return. He
is on his way to the Alabama State
Volunteer Movement's spring meet­ing
which meets in Birmingham on
March 25-27. : There are several Au­burn
students who plan to attend
this conference also.
During, the latter part of the week
Mr. Coleman Jennings of Washing­ton,
D. C. will visit Auburn. Al­though
not connected with the Y. M.
C. A. in any official capacity, he is
deeply interested in Christian work
and organizations. Those who have
come to know Mr. Jennings on his
several visits here in the past will re­member
him as jovial personality—
ready to help anywhere he can.

Through the courtesy of one of the
students on the campus we have been
able to obtain a pool table for use
in the "Y'? Recreation room. It is
fifty-six inch size with a fine set of
ivory balls. We feel sure that this
will furnish an interesting addition
to ping-pong and the other games al­ready
in use. The table is of a slot
machine type. This small charge for
each game played will be necessary
until the table has been paid for,
then the charge will be discontinued.
We hope that no one will feel that
the "Y" is installing a game.just to
make money on it, for that is not the
purpose. The charge is only to help
pay for the, outfit. We hope that
this will be a new source of enter­tainment
to everyone.

"You can live better at the
Jung for Less"
Since the close of a successful sea­son
on the court, 11 of the 14 mem­bers
of Coach Sam McAllister's 1932
Auburn basketball squad have turn­ed
their athletic attention to baseball
and track. The Plains men cagesters
reached the semi-finals of the South­ern
Conference basketball tourna­ment
in Atlanta and finished with a
season's record of 13 wins and only
three losses, the second best record
ever made by an Alabama Polytech­nic
Institute quintet.
The basketeers out for baseball,
after a week's rest from athletic com­petition,
are: David Ariail and Bob
Arthur, center, Birmingham; George
Jenkins, forward, Columbus, Ga.;
Ralph Jordan, forward, Selma;
Charles Kaley, guard, Warrior; Sam
Mason, forward, Tallassee; Warren
McMahan, guard, Tuscumbia, and
Frank Sindler, guard, Islip, N. Y.
Ariail and Kaley are candidates
for catcher, Arthur for pitcher, Mc­Mahan
for an infield berth and Jenk­ins,
Mason, ~ Jordan and Sindler for
the outfield. Kaley, all-Dixie League
receiver, in the only regular base-baller
of the group, but Mason and
Jenkins stand a good chance of mak­ing
the grade this season.
Capt. Jack Stewart, center, Annis-ton;
Harbin Lawson, guard, Nelson,
Ga., and Elmer Kelley, forward,
Evergreen, are the hoop artists who
have changed their basketball togs
to track equipment. On the track
team Stewart will defend his South­ern
Conference high jump champion­ship
and run the high hurdles, Law-son
will throw the javelin and Kelley
will run the high and low hurdles.
Stewart holds the conference high
jump record at six feet two and
three-quarter inches.
