EXCELLENT RATING AGAIN
AWARDED R.O.T.C. UNIT IN
ANNUAL ARMY INSPECTION
Highest Rating Given Local
Unit For Fourteenth Consec­utive
Year
ENTIRE UNIT LAUDED
Artillery Receives Grade Of
Over Ninety-Seven Percent;
Engineers Over Ninety-Five
Pronouncement Tuesday of the
War Department's "official okeh" on
the quality of R. 0. T. C. training at
the Alabama Polytechnic Institute
brought the institution's unbroken
record of maximum rating to 14
years.
Based on a thorough, two-day in­spection
of every phase of military
training here, the unit was given the
rating of "excellent" by Major L. E.
Lyon, corps area engineer, and Ma­jor
Reece M. Howell, field artillery,
of the General Staff, Corps Headquar­ters,
Ft. McPherson, Ga.
Of all the R. 0. T. C. units both
junior and senior in the Fuorth Corps
Area, comprising eight southern
states, the Alabama Polytechnic In­stitute
is the only one which has con­tinuously
won this maximum rating
since 1918 when the'unit was estab­lished
here.
The inspectors commended in the
highest terms the entire R. O. T. C.
Unit at Auburn. They referred par­ticularly
to the excellent discipline
and military aptitude displayed by
the cadets.
"Credit for successful results of
the inspection goes to the instructors,
members of the enlisted detachment,
and to the entire corps of cadets who
manifested their whole-hearted in­terest
on these two days," said Major
G. H. Franke, Auburn commandant.
Major Franke also expressed his ap­preciation
to the college administra­tive
committee for their cooperation
in arranging a suitable schedule by
which the events of the inspection
could be conducted.
Of the 22 theoretical engineer sub­jects
examined, 18 were rated as ex­cellent
and four were termed satis­factory.
Thirteen of the 14 practic­al
subjects were marked excellent
with a grade of satisfactory being ac­corded
the other. In the investiga­tion
of theoretical artillery subjects,
13 out of 14 received the highest
rating and all but one of the 15 prac­tical
subjects received the grade of
excellent, the other being satisfac­tory.
The general average in engi­neering
subjects was 95.8 and that

RICHEY ELECTED HEAD
OF SPIKED SHOE CLUB
. At the regular meeting of the
Spiked Shoe Society last Monday
night the annual election of officers
took place. Loyd Richey, Birming­ham,
was unanimously elected presi­dent.
Richey is captain of the track
team and is the outstanding hurdler
and high jumper in the Southeastern
Conference. Carl Pihl, Brooklyn, N.
Y., was elected vice-president and
Robert Rutland, Auburn, was selected
to serve as secretary-treasurer.
The local chapter is chartered by
the National Collegiate Society of
Spiked Shoe whose purpose is to ad­vance
track and field athletics and
promote clean sportsmanship in col­leges
and universities. During the
past year the society sponsored, to­gether
with the Interf raternity Coun­cil,
a novice interfraternity track and
field meeting which was a great suc­cess.
It served its purpose well as
several promising track prospects
were discovered by Auburn's great
track mentor, Coach Wilbur Hutsell.
Much of this activity was due to
James O'Rourke, who served as presi­dent
during this past school year.
Tentative plans are under way to
hold a bigger and better track meet
next year on "A" Day with the hope
that it will become a fixed attraction
in future years and adding to the in-termural
sports life of the campus.

Scheduled To Sing Here On
Tuesday Evening
On Tuesday, May 2, at 8:00 p. m.,
the Glee Club of Womans College of
Alabama, Montgomery, will present a
program in Langdon Hall under the
auspices of the Auburn Choral So­ciety.
The group is composed of thir­ty
women students of the Womans
College and have aroused a great deal
of interest wherever they have ap­peared.
This high class schoral organization
of thirty voices has made an unusual­ly
fine reputation under the direction
of Orville J. Borchers, head of the
music department. In its annual
tour through Alabama, Georgia and
Florida last year, it was acclaimed as
one of the finest choral organizations
heard on tour. At a recent meeting
of the Alabama Education Associ­ation
at Montgomery where it ap­peared
before an audience of two
thousand educators, it received lavish
praise for its exacting and inspiring
interpretations of choral works.
The program to be presented here
is attractively varied and has a de­cided
popular appeal. The numbers

HEFLIN TO UNITED

Address
PRAISES LEE A N D JACKSON
Pays Tribute To Lincoln As
South's Best Friend At Close
Of Civil War
Tribute to a united nation and the
important part played by southerners
in the United States, political and
military history was paid here Thurs­day
by Hon. J. Thomas Heflin of La-
Fayette in a Memorial Day address
delivered in Langdon Hall.
Both the North and the South
fought during the Civil War for prin­ciples
which they considered to be
right, and the South has never had
any apologies to offer, said the speak­er,
who went on to paint' a glowing
picture of one people, one flag, one
country—America."
Lee and Jackson were the greatest
military men the, world has ever
known, said Mr. Heflin, after sketch­ing
the military genius and superior
strategy displayed by them in the
War between the States. Statements
on the' greatness of Lee and Jackson
made by some of the greatest mili­tary
leaders in Europe and England
were quoted by the speaker.
"The assassination of Lincoln was
the greatest blow ever to befall the
South," said Mr. Heflin. Had Lin­coln
lived he would "have literally
loved the two sections back into har­mony."
Mr. Heflin referred to Washington,
and other southerners who had an im­portant
part in the early formation of
the Republic during and following the
Revolutionary War and in the War of
1812.
In the World War he said that it
was principally southerners from Ten­nessee,
Mississippi, and South Caro­lina
who bore the brunt of the attack

Information received from Stuart
Pugh, chairman of the Social Com­mittee,
indicated that the theme of
the decorations for the final dances
will be a Spanish Patio. The con­tract
for decorating the gymnasium
was awarded to George Sewell, T. H.
Brugh and W. D. Wilson by the Exec­utive
Cabinet.
Specifications of the contract call
for decorations depicting an indoor
garden with the orchestra pit and
backdrop forming the motif. The
backdrop will consist of a painting of
a Spanish dancer in a colorful cos­tume.
Dark blue drapes will extend
downward from the sides of the back­drop
and the top will be decorated
with a curtain drop, from under which
indirect lighting will play on the
whole scene.
The orchestra pit will be made to
represent a raised platform on the
patio with inlaid tile wainscoting
around the bottom.
Twisted columns leading into the
garden will flank the entrances. This
arched doorway will completely hide
from view the stairs leading to the
balcony.
The balcony treatment of the deco­rations
will form a roof over the ar­cade
around the patio. Twisted crape
streamers will extend from the bot­tom
of the balcony ot the center of
the ceiling at which point they will
be connected to a chandelier and be­low
that a crystal ball. The chan­delier
will contain many new, varied
.colored lights which will lend a spark­ling
effect to the streamers.
- Bracket lamps of special design will
be placed on the walls. All the lights
in the brackets, on the backdrop and
on the entrance doors will be hidden
from view and will give an indirect
lighting effect to the whole scheme.
According to an announcement by
Mr. Pugh, bid cards to the dances
will be taken up from the fraternity
houses and other places of delivery
next Monday, May 1.

Administration Making Plans For Coming Year Despite Adverse Circumstances
Undaunted by conditions and hand­icaps
the Auburn Administrative com­mittee
composed of Jno. J. Wilmore,
chairman, Prof. B. H. Crenshaw, and
Director L. N. Duncan, is proceeding
with plans and preparations for the
62nd annual session which will begin
on September 5.
Among the first acts of the com­mittee
was to inform the students by
issuing in to them a formal statement
in which cooperation of those who
are now at Auburn in increasing en­rollment
next year was requested.
"We are proceeding with plans for
another year at Auburn," said the
statement. "Registration for the
next regular session will begin on
Tuesday, September 5. The summer
term—as already announced—will
begin on Monday, June 5.
"The Legislature—as is known—
adjourned without^ providing relief
for Auburn; and for other education­al
institutions. This means that we
shall be handicapped but We are fac­ing
these handicaps as they confront
us and, with the help of the faculty
and students, we feel sure that next
year will be a good year at Auburn.
"Last summer we suffered severely
from reports circulated over the State
that Auburn would not open in Sep­tember
or if it did it could not carry
on longer than Christmas. We are
giving you notice in advance that
this is likely to occur again and urge
you most strongly to be on the look­out
for such reports and to contra­dict
them vigorously whenever and
whereverthey come to you.
"We are now giving much thought
to new students. You can help us
if you will communicate with your
friends, advising them that Auburn
will operate on the regular schedule
and do excellent work despite handi­caps.
Tell them about Auburn, the
institution for. those who want an
education which combines' cultural
subjects with scientific and practical
subjects.
"Prospective students are interest­ed
also in expenses at Auburn. We
believe that a student can spend a
year here for as little as at any other
institution doing work of equivalent
grade and quality.
"A little information about the
achievements of Auburn alumni is
very interesting to prospective stu­dents
because an educational institu­tion
is known best by its alumni and
the degree to which they succeed.
."We are fully aware of conditions
and-handicaps but our work will con­tinue
without interruption. We do
not know how to quit or to go back­ward.
Auburn has only a forward
gear. We are confident that 1933-34
will be a splendid year here.
The college calendar for i933-34 is

The annual R. O. T. C. horse show
will be held the afternoon of Monday,
May 1, at 3:00 p. m., with a large
number of riders taking part in the
demonstration. A large number of
events have been planned which will
include all types of riding and will
give all riding classes an opportunity
to display their ability in handling the
horses.
The first event will be exhibition
riding by forty sophomores which will
include the regular riding drills that
the sophomore riding classes undergo.
The second and third events will be
jumping by the juniors and seniors,
respectively. Following this will be
the jumping contest open to ladies
only, and for which there are a large
number of contestants. The ladies will
also be presented in a contest for the
best three-gaited riding.
The evenings program will include
three events in which the polo ponies
will take part, the first being the
steak race, an event that always
arouses a great deal of interest; the
second, the best polo pony in the
show; and the third, the polo bending
race.
The feature of the show will be the
open jumping event in which the reg­ular
army officers are eligible to com­pete
along with other qualified con­testants.
The hurdle in this event
will be four feet in height and a rath­er
stiff test of the horsemanship of
the entrants.
Another interesting and novel event
in the show will be the musical chair
event in which a large number of
students from all classes will take
part.

SIGMA NU TENNIS
TEAM WINS CUP
Final Matches Are Closely Con­tested
As S. A. E. Team Of­fers
Keen Competition
held prior to the commencement exer­cises,
the seniors to take their exam- to hold them in check for good.
In the most thrilling tennis match
witnessed on the campus this year,
the Sigma Nu's defeated the S. A.
E.'s in the finals of the Interfraterni­ty
Council tennis tournament by the
score of 6-3, 5-7, 6-4, the match be­ing
severely contested at every step.
The brand of tennis displayed by the
contestants was first class and at
times approached the brilliance of
class A tournaments. The outstand­ing
player from the standpoint of
form was Dozier Howard, of the S. A.
E.'s although Cameron Mitchell, of
the Sigma Nu's, was close second.
Both Glenn Mitchell and Joe Parker,
the former of the Sigma Nu's and the
latter an S. A. E., played superior
tennis the entire route.
In the first set the Sigma Nu's took
the lead at the start and never re­linquished
it, although spirited rallies
in the latter part of the set by the
S. A. E.'s gave promise that the
match would be forced to extra games.
In the second set the play was fairly
even as the score indicates with the
Sigma Nu's holding a slight edge.
The Sigma Nu's led in the early part
of the match but the S. A. E.'s came
from behind to tie the set and fought
a steady game till the Sigma Nu's
broke through Parker's service and
took the set.
The third set also went extra games
and this time the Sigma Nu's were
forced to yield to the desperate bid of
the S. A. E.'s although not until late
in the set. In this set the S. A. E.'s
looked particularly good and the best
game of the Sigma Nu's was unable

A Neglected Student
The fact that a student recently tore out
a portion of an encyclopedia belonging t'o
the college library and the criticism direct­ed
at him manifests in no uncertain manner
the way in which the institution is neglect­ing
the education of the student's. The en­cyclopedia
was put there for the use of
the student. Why should he not grab that
portion of education which is due him? The
fact that other students might want to
use the book at some time or other should
be discounted. The old law of taking what
you want still holds. With 1,500 students
in school it is the plain duty of the college
to supply 1,500 sets of encyclopediae for
the use of these students. . -
However, if buying sets of encyclopediae
involves too much expense, it might be wise
to proclaim an "Encyclopedia Tearing Day",
range the entire student body in a circle
on Bullard Field around a brand new set
of the coveted books, give the co-eds a five-foot
start, and at the sound of the gun let
everybody get as much out of the books as
they can. We feel sure that the student
who got his share while no one was looking
would agree to the above suggestion.
A Moot Question
During the past three months we have
endeavored to show the need here of some
kind of honor system which would work
for the elimination of cheating in class
rooms. We have traced the sources and
causes of dishonesty in class work. We
have presented the situation as it now
stands in as true and objective a manner
as possible. We have pointed out that all
honor must originate in the individual, that
honor is a concept which cannot be legis­lated.
The only error of any consequence
that we have discovered in our series of
editorials dealing with the matter lies in
the machinery necessary for the promul­gation
of an honor system.
We have sought the support of the stu­dent
body for the Executive Cabinet, con­tending
that that organization would some
day be adequate for the establishment of an
honor system. However, upon closer exam­ination,
many weaknesses in the organiza­tion
of the student government stand out.
In the first place, the membership in the
Cabinet is too large; a student body of 1,500
students are more than adequately repre­sented
by a government consisting of seven­teen
men. A more compact group would
command the respect of the student body
and would be able to effect its work more
efficiently. Then too, there are many sup­erfluous
by-laws and provisions in the stu­dent
government, such as the Publications
Committee, which serves no .end whatso­ever,
and to our knowledge, has had only
one meeting this year.
But the primary objection to the Execu­tive
Cabinet lies in its unpopularity with
the students. Little honor is connected
with membership on the Cabinet. And it
is well to remember that the present stu­dent
government was drafted under the
watchful eye of an administration that
was never popular with the students. At
the very outset, the student government
met with considerable objection on the part
of many students, if the Plainsman of four
years ago can be believed.
We feel that it would be most unwise for
next year's senior class to undertake the
reestablishment of the honor system unless
the whole-hearted support of the students
is assured. Perhaps it would be best to
formulate a new student government first,
with the honor system as the ultimate goal.
We have no way of knowing what the
student body thinks of the proposals which
we have offered this Spring as regards an
honor system. Although it may seem to
smack of the most ingenuous optimism, we
believe that many students have given se­rious
thought to the question this year.
This seems to indicate that the student
body is approaching the attitude of mind
which will be necessary for the reestablish­ment
of the honor system. How many
students have been converted to the idea re­mains
to be found out next year. At this late
hour, when our connection with student af­fairs
nears complete severance, we can
only hope that some of the ideas which we
have advanced may, in part at least, attain
realization.
Dr. Hrdliker Debunks
Another pretty little theory of doubtful
legitimacy though of universal belief has
been pounced upon by an expert. The re­sults
of an extensive study by Dr. Alec
Hrdliker, reknowned anthropologist, reveal
that the bump on the back of your head
means little as a guage on your intellect.
Your forehead may be extremely low and
fail to denote a retarded mental capacity.
The other extreme for these legendary
mentality norms stands corrected also.
The Doctor based his study on an obser­vation
of three types: the most backward
mountaineers of northeastern Tennessee,
the normal individuals in all walks of life
and the members of the National Academy
of Science. All subjects studied were be­gotten
by parents whose ancestors had been
born in this country for two generations.
The divergence of the three types, one
from the other, Dr. Hrdliker found to be
imperceptible.
Quoting the Atlanta Journal on the sub­ject:
"The popular notion thus bearded in
its den is traceable to the old phren­ology
which held that mental powers
could be analyzed into a number of dis­tinct
faculties, each associated with a
particular region of the surface of the
brain, and that the size of these regions
measured the relative power of its fac­ulty
in the mind and character of the
individual. Phrenology also assumed
that there was enough correspondence
between the outside of the skull and the
surface of the brain to enable a prac­ticed
observer to estimate the size of
the interior "organs" by examining the
exterior developments. That there are
many striking coincidences of this na­ture
is not to be denied. But there are
equally striking discrepancies. A phren­ologist
who made great stir in eigh­teenth-
century England found, to his
surprise, that the author of The School
for Scandal had an extremely small
bump of wit. He resourcefully ex­plained,
however, that Sheridan was
not truly witty, but that his comedies
sprang from an unusual development
of his faculties of 'comparison' and
'memory'. Likewise a notorious murd­erer
who possessed a handsome bump
of benevolence was discovered, as the
record has it, to have presented one of
his cronies with half a guinea. The
most ingenious of all such phrenologic­al
alibis is reported in the work of
Dr. Alexander Macalister, one-time
professor of anatomy in the University
of Cambridge and Fellow of St. John's
College. The Girl Labrosse, he wrote,
'who exhibited strong amativeness, but
who had a rudimentary cerebellum (the
supposed seat of that tendency) was
said to have obliterated it by over-use".
Presumably the back of the head is no
more dependable than the front as an
index to character."
And so the person who proudly displays
his large "knowledge bump" and sneers at
your comparatively small cerebrial protru­sion
may have gained his due to an infan­tile
accident. At least you may rest assured
that your normalcy can not be .genuinely
challenged thusly.
How Strong A Sentiment
Commenting on our recent editorial en­titled
"The New Oxford Movement", the
Montgomery Advertiser says: " . . . some­how
we cannot be brought around to be­lieving
that most college men share the
Plainsman editor's thoughts, as interest­ing
as they are . . . But we know too .that
at the first sound of a bugle note, sane be­ings
logically convince themselves that
they belong in that man's war, and that
rational beings so rationalize their thoughts
that they believe it a duty to bear arms."
The Advertiser is doubtless correct in
believing that the pacifistic attitude expres­sed
in our recent comment is not shared
by most college men. However, the point
we wish to make is that there are quite a
few college students today who feel that
the government has no right to sacrifice
their lives in the settlement of an inter­national
dispute. And we might add that
there are more young men who have been
converted to this point of view than their
elders suppose.
As to whether; or not the young men of
the country would rally around the flag at
the first sound of the bugle we are not qual­ified
to say. If we are to take the im­mediate
past as a criterion, there is every
reason to believe that plenty of cannon
fodder would be forthcoming in the event
of a war.
Considering the matter in the light of
present circumstances, we cannot be too
sure of any prediction of youth's reaction
to a' conflict. At the present moment no
one can accurately measure the change in
American life and institutions wrought by
the Great War. Many of America's most
cherished ideals and theories were blasted
by the War. The modern tendency is to
take a more realistic attitude about the
many problems of life.
And, needless to say, patriotism itself
did not escape mutation. Patriotism, in its
lowest common denominator, is loyalty to
country. We cannot see that this also im­plies
that one must at all times be loyal
to the country's leaders. Thomas Jeffer­son,
himself one of the most dyed-in-the-wool
democrats, suggested that it might be
wise for the country to have a revolution
every ten years, insinuating that govern­mental
leaders might not always be deserv­ing
of the electorate's loyalty.
This attitude 'is closely akin to many
college men's conception of patriotism.
Asked what they would do in case of war,
a number of students told us that they
would gladly fight in the event of a war of
invasion, whereas they were not certain
of what they would do about a war of ag­gression.
There is every reason to believe
that youth would remain loyal if the coun­t
ry were invaded by another power, with
conquest as its motive. However, who can
say that they would be willing to risk their
lives in a war of imperialism, or of inter­ference
with another nation's affairs?
Finally, we believe that youth is con­scious
of the fact that wars are hatched by
greybeards and fought by boys. And col­lege
men are far more ignorant than we
imagine them to be if they do not know that
these greybeards have no natural right to
demand the sacrifice of one human life for
the protection of national honor, trade
agreements, economic interests, or any oth­er
equally preposterous excuse that is given
as the cause of international conflict. And
we believe that youth understands the part
played by propaganda in the promulgation
of war. Whether young men will be gulled
into accepting this propaganda at its face
value in the next war is highly question­able.
Although our judgment may be some­what
immature, we feel that no one can ac­curately
predict the attitude that youth
will take about the next war. It may be,
as the Advertiser says, that young men will
rationalize themselves into a belligerent
state of mind and fight with customary
zest. But if the pacifistic attitude as ex­pressed
at a number of the greater Ameri­can
universities becomes more widespread
and gains a real grip on the minds of col­lege
men, the greybeards may find it neces­sary
to take recourse to some other method
than war for the settlement of interna­tional
disputes.

THE TRAGEDY OF LYNCHING
By Dr. Arthur Raper
Among what class of people and in what
kind of communities do lynchings most
commonly occur? How does Alabama rank
with other states in regard to mob violence
and this barbaric method of getting rid of
alleged criminals? These and similar ques­tions
about Inching are answered in Dr.
Raper's recent volume, The Tragedy of
Lnching. (University of North Carolina
Press, Chapel Hill, N. C, 1933, $2.50).
"The volume", according to Mr. R. B.
Eleazer, "is the result of two years of.
painstaking investigation and study of
lynching phenomena, and lays bare to the
public a vast amount of authentic informa­tion
on this subject never before available.
It surveys the general lynching situation
over a period of forty years, presents ex­haustive
case studies of each of the twen­ty-
one lynchings of 1930, and also includes
studies of a number of cases in which
threatened lynchings were averted."
In each of the case studies of the 1930
lynchings all available information about
the mob victim, the alleged crime, the mem­bers
of the mob, action of officers, and the
community attitudes toward lynchings, etc.
is* given. For instance, in the chapter,
"Blue-Eyed Niggers", we have a full study
of Sumpter County, Alabama, and the race
trouble there during July, 1930.
The author shows that of the 3,724 per­sons
lynched in this country from 1889 to
1930 four-fifths were Negroes, and that
within recent years lynching has been more
peculiar to the South than to any other
section. He further states that two of the
1930 mob victims were absolutely .innocent
of crime, and there is grave doubt of the
guilt of eleven others. In most of the other
cases there is also grave doubt that the
mob got the guilty man.
Dr. Raper's main purpose in the work
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.
AFEW issues past, Observer took oc­casion
to point out what seemed to
be a slight inconsistency in the edi­torial
pages of The Montgomery Advertiser.
The occasion arose from an comparison of
two editorials appearing in that paper. The
first, appearing some months ago, shudder­ed
at the caste system as practiced in India;
the second, an outgrowth of the attacks
upon the state of Alabama in regard to the
Scottsboro trial, pointed out that individ­uals
and any organized force would do well
to allow the sovereign State of Alabama to
settle alone those circumstances which per­tained
to its own jurisdiction. Said the
Advertiser in reply to those statements:
"Is the Auburn Plainsman opposed to the
'caste system' as it-is in Alabama?
"If so, how far is it willing to go to
change the system? It would be instruc­tive
to students of the phenomenon of sin­cerity
to know."
In beginning, this column is conducted
by an individual whose policies are not
placed as a direct responsibility upon the
shoulders of the Plansman. The column is
as stated, an expression of personal com­ment
and cannot assume the power to voice
the policies of the Plainsman which is not
an individual.
Observer, however, is opposed to the caste
system as it is in the State of Alabama. The
Advertiser has chosen to set off such an ex­pression
in quotation marks and stamp up­on
it the mark of an indefinite quantity. It
is, in fact, as every native Alabamian who
regards himself a student of the phenome­non
of sincerity must admit, a positive
reality. Just as . it is a reality in other
southern states. No person who has lived
in the far South for many years and has
seen the misuse of the Negro can deny that
he does not suffer from unequality before
the state-operated legislative and judicial
tribunals and their respective tributaries.
No one who has ever seen the average of­ficer
of the law in this state, laboring under
a misconceived estimation of civil authority
arrest a Negro, can doubt that equality of
the two predominating races in the state is
far short of mythical.
Observer is certainly aware of the fact
that the temperaments of the Caucasian
and Ethiopian races can never be fused to
the extent that they will be able to operate
on a plane of existence where they may en­joy
the identical living habits. The writer
is not advocating a policy whereby the
Negro and the white may meet, enjoy and
fraternalize among those habits of living
which are now delegated by tradition to
the whites alone. The writer does advo­cate
however, that increased opportunity in
practically every phase of our social scheme
is an indesput'able human right which the
Negro is due. .
Certainly The Advertiser is aware that
that the State of Alabama ranks "tenth
among eleven southern states in the edu­cational
expenditures for the Negro as com­pared
with the white. Can it then be de­nied
that there is unequal educational op­portunity
of the two races? Leading soci­ologists,
respected for their knowledge of
living problems of the races, contend that
crime will be more easily found where there
is ignorance. Is it then rational to misuse
human beings who have been denied the
proper teachings of the social standards?
The political situation, which does not
encourage and often prevents Negro par­ticipation
in government, leaves the Negro
practically a dependent upon the whites
who make the laws. The .majority of the
blacks refer to the courts as the "white
man's court", and to the police as "the law".
As a consequence the Negro's feeling of
civic pride and community responsibility
has been stunted almost to the point of ex­tinction.
The state does not adequately
provide for welfare work and organizations
which would remedy the poorly accommo-is
to point out the fact that lynchings, in­stead
of preventing racial difficulties and
antagnosims, tend to keep them alive. He
offers a number of suggestions and ways of
preventing lynchings. Thus, the work is of
interest and value to all who are concerned
about keeping the South free from the re­currence
of this modern barbarism and the
toll of the mob.—A. D. Butler, Instructor
in English.
And then there is the story of the two
New York bankers who came to heaven and
were confronted by St. Peter. "What, you
here?" said St. Peter. "You can't come in."
"Why?" inquired the bankers. At which
St. Peter proceeded to recite their iniquities.
"But there must be some mistake," protest­ed
the bankers. St. Peter said if they would
wait he would go back and make sure of the
records. This he did and found his position
confirmed. When he returned, however, the
bankers were gone. So were the goldgn
gates.—Baltimore Evening "Sun.
Dead Publications of Auburn
Being An Historical Record Of The Various Extinct Publications Which
In Former Years Flourished And Perished Here
BY GABIE DREY
WHEN AUBURN thinks of news­papers,
thoughts turn to the
Plainsman or to the many out-of-
town papers that are read here. Some
may have the idea that all Auburn papers
have been published by the college; but
they are far from being correct, as the
first student paper appeared in 1879, more
than 20 years after Auburn had seen its
first news-sheet.
The first local paper was in all probabili­ty
the Auburn Gazette, which had its be­ginning
in 1852. J. W. W. Drake and W.
Rice were publishers, the former acting as
editor. 'Like other weeklies of the day—
the Gazette appeared on Friday mornings
—it was a four page, six column paper
with most of its space taken up with ad­vertisements.
A copy of the Gazette had its front page
devoted to advertising and to miscellaneous
items which included clipped editorials,
jokes, and stories. The second page was
filled largely with exchange items and com­munications
from readers, although there
were three or four inches of telegraphed
news and one editorial. The third and
fourth pages contained advertisements, in­cluding
one from the Auburn Masonic Fe­male
College which says that "The second
scholastic year will commence on the first
Monday in October next."
By February, 1854, the Gazette had
changed owners. J. L. Collins and James
S. Slaughter were the new proprietors.
How long they had control of the paper
could not be ascertained. Neither was it
possible to learn more of its life.
The Sketch Book was the name of a
paper started at Auburn in 1860 by Messrs.
Pryce and Mason, according to an announce­ment
in a copy of the Montgomery Post
published in June, 1860. The publisher was
W. B. Hughes, formerly of Montgomery.
Little is known of the life of this journal,
but it is safe to assume that it perished
shortly.
From the days of the Sketch Book to the
beginning of college journalism in Auburn
there were probably several papers pub­lished,
but they have left no records.
Almost all Auburn students know that
the Plainsman, was preceded by the old
Orange and Blue, but it not generally known
that the first student journalistic venture
made its bow in the fall of 1879. The Au­burn
Cadet was published monthly for nine
issues. In the Alumni Association office is
a copy of the issue for December, 1880,
Volume 2, Number 2, which contains eight
pages, eight and one-half by eleven inches,
of three columns each.
The editors were J. Callaway, A. J.
Mitchell, and C. N. Ousley, three having
been chosen because the student body could
not agree on any one. The Cadet was
dated institutions for juvenile delinquency
and the mentally dearranged among the
Negroes. The justified feeling that he does
not have the police protection afforded the
whites leads the Negro to the conclusion
that he must protect himself. In many
communities police allow a crime of Negro
against Negro t'o go unpunished; not so in
Negro against white. Rarely does one hear
of the lynching of a white person; never
when white has committed a crime against
a Negro.
The Negro has not only been denied the
common advantages of a human being but
has also been made to feel his inferiority.
There is no denying the Negro's mental in­feriority
due t'o the fact of his suppressed
educational advantages. It is possible that
the Negro as a race is inferior to the white.
Certainly he has been given no opportunity
to disprove such a supposition. It is true
that the white race has proved itself more
barbaric, more taken by greed and more
capable of inhuman actions than the Negro
could conceivably be capable of commiting.
The Negro has been born to be more primi­tive
than the white, but certainly more ap­preciative
of human rights in more than
one respect.
It is Observer's belief that if the Negro
in this state were given a broader oppor­tunity
for advancement that he would be
more creditable to the state. This idea un-doubtably
grates upon the provincial south­land
and upon those traditions which are
attributed to the old South. But we are
not striving to live in the ante-bellum South.
We are existing in the present and should
strive for a more intelligently conceived ad­vancement.
Such traditions now clung to
by many Alabamians and thousands of
southerners are not wrought with the finer
instincts of those befo' the wa' traditions,
which if traced to their source would be
found to coincide with the finer traditions
of any section of the country.
Yes, Observer believes that there is a
caste system in the State of Alabama. And
Observer is sincere in this belief. If these
few truths are found to be of interest to
The Advertiser and to students of the phe­nomenon
of sincerity, then he has not la­bored
in vain.
"devoted to News, Literature, Science and
Education". Included in its pages were an
editorial advocating female education;
numerous articles written by students; clip­ped
items from leading publications;
columns entitled "Local Intelligence" and
"Personal and General"; and almost two
columns of advertising, including one for
Mr. R. W. Burton's bookstore. The mod­ern
collegiate columnist had his predeces­sor
in "Juiva", who contributed an article
on "Man's Weakness for Gossip".
Following the Cadet, were the Society
Scroll, which was published monthly from
1881 to '83; the Auburn Analyzer, the stu­dent
publication during 1883-84; and the
Auburn Collegian of 1885-7 which contin­ued
for eleven numbers. Copies of these
are seemingly unobtainable.
College Topics was published six times
during the years 1890-91 by the literary
societies that were so important in student
life in Auburn at that time. The editors-in-
chief were W. A. Marshall of the Wirt
Society, and C. C. Johnson, Websterian;
associate editors: C. B. Glenn and R. D.
McAllister, Wirt, and J. T. Heflin and L. P.
Heyman, Websterian. Dean C. L. Hare was
business manager. The paper was printed
in pamphlet form, and its contents were
mainly literary compositions, although a
few personals were printed.
In November, 1892, Volume I, No. 1, of
the College Index was published. Officials
were Charles H. Ross, editor; L. P. Hey­man,
W. M. Riggs, and N. B. Marks, asso­ciate
editors; and William F. Feagin. In
an editorial it is said that the Index is "not
political . . . to take no sides in prevalent
controversies . . . as a college journal we
refuse to be dragged into the mire of par­tisan
politics . . . an exponent of all that
is best for the student in the various de­partments
of college work, whether of lit­erature
or science . . . our aim is to give
something that is bright but not puerile,
something humorous but not foolish." This
was also a literary publication, printed in
pamphlet form; it was issued eight times.
The Index existed during the 1892-93
school year, giving way the following year
to the Orange and Blue.
During the 1890's and the early years of
this century a denominational paper was
published year. Dr. G. S. Anderson, a Bap­tist
clergyman, edited the Auburn Sermon-izer,
as it was called. In it were printed
articles on general topics of interest t'o
his readers and on subjects relative to
church work.
There was a town paper called the Au­burn
Graphic that lived for only a few
years. Some of Auburn's older residents
say that the Graphic was not a good paper,
and it soon ceased publication. It was prob­ably
founded in 1890.
Another vaguely remembered paper was
the Sketch Book, the second of that name,
that existed either in the late eighties or
nineties. It is said to have been a small
booklet containing town and college news,
published monthly. Among its contri­butors
were Mr. Burton and Dr. Charles
H. Ross.
Almost forgotten is the feud that once
existed between the fraternity and non-fraternity
students of Auburn. In 1901
such a flare-up arose over representation
on the board of the Glomerata, which was
in existence at that time, that the non-fraternity
men withdrew and published an
annual that was called the Chrysalis.
M. C. Turpen was editor of this publica­tion
and Thomas Bragg and H. H. Conner
were business managers. In explaining its
purpose, the editor said that "the fraternity
men, have, in a majority of cases, held the
class offices, and have been the ruling
spirits in dispensing with positions of hon­or
among the students; simply because they
have been organized. From this practice,
they seemed to have conceived the idea that
they were in some way superior to the non-fraternity
men. This led them into false
and unfair ideas, which resulted in similar
actions. . . . To say that we regret the
division in our class, would be useless; but
it was simply a question of being imposed
upon or asserting our rights, and we chose
the latter course."
But the Chrysalis lasted only a year, as
differences were settled in some manner.
The book was a very creditable annual,
containing much of interest to the collegian
of its day, with an unusual amount of
literary material.
Since 1901 there have been publications
in Auburn that are not now alive, if one
assumes that the Orange and Blue did not
die but only had its name changed to the
Plainsman. Several student publications
founded since 1920 are still in existence.
Auburn has felt no real need for a town
paper in recent years, as the Plainsman has
as one of its functions the printing of town
news.. The Opelika paper also includes Au­burn
items in it's columns; and the local of
the town is such that Auburn is able to
read a number of larger dailies while they
are still news.

CONTROLLED INFLATION URGED
BY PROMINENT WASHINGTONIAN
H. H. McKee, President Of National Capital Bank Of Washing­ton,
Presents Views On Gold Embargo To Rotary Club At
Regular Luncheon
Controlled inflation was endorsed
here today by H. H. McKee, president
of the National Capital Bank of
Washington, D. C, in an address be­fore
the Rotary Club.
Mr. McKee believes that President
Roosevelt's embargo on exports of
gold will boost prices with the result
that public confidence will be restored
and a steady climb out of the economic
depression may follow.
With our vast credit facilities, the
Federal Reserve System, our tremen­dous
natural resources, and with 120,
000,000 people cooperating there is no
reason why our business structure
cannot be rebuilt, he said.
The "certainty and swiftness" with
which President Roosevelt is going
about the nation's economic recon­struction
was praised by Mr. McKee
who said it is the first important step
that has been taken to end the de­pression.
"Even if it proves wrong,
it will give us a starting point," he
added.
Mr. McKee looks with favor upon
the pending economic conference in
Washington. He said that the Presi­dent
is contemplating a more compre­hensive
conference of this nature in
London next year at which time 11
nations will be represented in an ef­fort
to arrange a workable monetary
basis for nations of the world.
"Until there is an understanding
between nations on the amounts of
product's manufactured for foreign
markets, world peace and understand­ing
will be impossible," he added. Mr.
McKee believes that the underlying
cause of the World War was Germa­ny's
desire for additional foreign
markets.
In referring to the huge amounts
borrowed from the United States dur­ing
the War by foreign nations, he
said that practically all of this mon­ey
remained in America to pay for
goods purchased by foreign countries.
"Had intelligent leadership in business
and politics directed the wise saving
by the American people during this
period of high prices, our present
economic emerbency would not have
resulted. Installment buying of "use­less
doodads" by thousands of people
who could not afford the mand for
which they had no use was condemned
by the speaker.
With only a common school educa­tion,
Mr. McKee entered the services
of the National Capital Bank in his
early teens as a runner. From this
position he climbed to the presidency
of the bank and is now also chairman
of the Clearing House in Washington.
He is in Auburn this week on a short
vacation and is visiting his son-in-law,
Major G. H. Franke, Aubprn com­mandant.

Three Are Speakers
At Kiwanis Luncheon
Speakers at the Auburn Kiwanis
luncheon Monday were Professor L.
N. Duncan, Dr. Paul Irvine, and Mr.
R. Y. Bailey.
Mr. Duncan reviewed the actions
of the recent extraordinary session
of the Alabama legislature, paying
particular attention to the Auburn
situation. He praised many members
of the legislature for their construc­tive
work but said that the legisla­tive
needs of the State are not yet
supplied.
Dr. Irvine reported on Kiwanis pro­motion
work in Alabama. He said
that the Montgomery club had added
recently sixteen members; that all
other clubs in his division are growing
and promoting excellent programs of
work despite depressing conditions.
Mr. Bailey told of achievements of
the Auburn Kiwanis Club since it was
organized, naming as the first con­crete
echievement the boy scout hut.
Among other things he named the
street improvement, school improve­ments,
sewage system extension, a
new postoffice, and other civic
achievements.
President Emil Wright announced
that Army officers who will be in
Auburn for the R. O. T. C. unit o
the Alabama Polytechnic Institute
will be guests of the Auburn Kiwanis
Club at the meeting next Monday.
INTESTINAL PARASITES
A parasite is a plant or animal
which lives upon or within another
living organism at whose expense it
obtains advantage without compensa­tion
(not even so much as the Tax).
An illustration in plant life is the
mistletoe. The subject of this article
is Intestinal Parasites and will be
limited to two types, the Hookworm
and Roundworm.
Fortunately Lee County is not
greatly infested with hookworms; yet
enough to claim our attention.
We do not contract, but are attack­ed,
in hookworm infection. The source
is infested or polluted soil. The larva
(baby worm) pierces the unbroken
skin (usually between the toes) and
gets into a lymph channel (small
tube). Then he is well on his way,
over a very circuitous route to his
destination, the small intestines.
He finds no trouble in squeezing
through lymph nodes (little depots)
and so glides pleasantly along until
he reaches the thoracic duct (a nice
little tube, containing a whitish fluid)
lying close to the spinal column. Sail­ing
is some easier now, even though
going up hill, by reason of more room.
Suddenly he glides into a lovely, spa­cious
tube, the ascending vena cave (a
large vein) whose channel is broader
and deeper but the fluid is dark. He
bumps into a dock (the heart) and,
after a good churning, he is spouted
out through another channel contain­ing
bright red fluid (an artery) and
is dumped into a huge swamp (the
lungs).
Finding himself now without fluid
in which to continue his journey he
finds an opening (a bronchial tube),
enters it and proceeds to crawl along
it until he reaches a more spacious
tube, the trachea (wind pipe). This
he finds more tedious because it is up­hill,
but he finally reaches the top
which is the throat. Now, instead of
the slow and tedious way of travel,
he takes a high div£ into the stomach
(swallowed) from whence, after a
thorough churning, he is washed into
and through the doudenum (second
stomach) into the jejunum (begin­ning
of the small intestine). He grabs
a life saving hold to the mucous mem­brane
and holds on for his life. Some
Hitch Hiker!
Why he selects this particular site
is the hookworm's business. You are
now his obliging host and have paid
all travel expense, covering about two
weeks and must pay all board plus
the tax until a vermifuge do you part.
What price hookworm? Your troubles
have just begun. This blood sucker
is after his and he leaves you with an­emia,
mental and physical weakness.
Even mild infection causes constipa­tion,
indigestion, headache, dizziness
and "Oh! I'm so tired".
They do not multiply in the body
but lay their eggs which pass out
with the bowel content's. Then they
incubate and hatch, thus again pol­luting
the soil so that you and others
may come in contact with them and
start the cycle again.
The Roundworm is the commonest
of the lesser intestinal parasites. He
is a large round fellow, sometimes a
foot and a half long, and about the
size of an ordinary lead pencil. This
worm is found, especially in children,
in all parts of the world, which in­cludes
Lee County. Children may
harbor from two or three to several
hundred.
The worm lives in the intestinal
tract and the female passes an enor­mous
number of eggs. To hatch these
eggs must incubate for a shorter or
longer space of time outside of the
body. Fresh eggs when swallowed
will pass through the intestinal tract
without hatching. Some of the prop­erly
incubated eggs, when swallowed,
will hatch and the larvae (baby
worms) will pass through the wall of
the intestines and go to the liver and
lungs and occasionally other organs.
Others pass through the blood vessels
into the air sacs, bronchial tubes,
lungs and thence through trachea

Seattle, Wash.—A movement by the

charging that the five dollar fee now

In Coolerator
The Coolerator, now being demon­strated
at Toomer's Drug Store un­der
the auspices of the Auburn lice
and Coal Co., is a truly modern, high­ly
efficient refrigerator which uses
ice as its cooling agent.
Refrigeration is a process by
which we aim to keep the food we are
going to eat in as near the natural
state as possible. A temperature of
50 degrees F. or under is not, alone,
sufficient for the requisites of the
proper refrigeration of food. Food,
in order to be properly refrigeated
must be placed in a refrigerator in
which it is not dehydrated (i.e., rob­bed
of its moisture content) and which
furnishes a circulation of cold, con­stantly
purified air. Under these con­ditions,
food ice refrigeration in the
new, up-to-date "Coolerator" answers
these l'equisites completely.
A new principle is embodied in the
operation of the Coolerator, in that
all of the cooling is done by the bot­tom
side of the ice-block. This means
that the volume of air to be cooled
remains constant all the time and like­wise
the cooling agent, the two fea­tures
insuring constant or unfluctu­ating
temperatures at all times. A
patented ice-rack with cold-air chan­nels
increases the cooling surface,
thereby rendering a maximum in ef­ficiency.
The Coolerator is so efficient in its
operation that it requires, in the hot­test
weather, only two icings per
week.
Be sure to see and inspect the ul­tra-
modern Coolerator, now being dis­played
at Toomer's Drug Store. It is
well worth a visit!
PROFESSOR ELIZ0ND0 TALKS
ON MEXICAN BULL FIGHTING
Mexican Women Rarely Attend Bull Fights, If So, Usually In
Capacity Of Official Sponsors; Elizondo Gives Views On
Various Fine Points Of Bull Fighting
Bull fighting in old Mexico is a
sport "for men only" said Yndalecio
Andres Elizondo, Auburn engineering
professor, in discusing this ancient
sport before the Rotary Club lunch­eon
Thursday.
Only in very rare instances do Mex­ican
women attend bull fights. If
they do, it is usually in the official
capacity of sponsor, or an occasional
attendance "just to see it once," he
said.
Though he has attended many
fights in his native land—Mexico—
Professor Elizondo said he did not
and never would enjoy the bull's bru­tal
goring of the picador's horse or
the bull's execution by the matador.
However, other phases of the spec-tocle
are immensely interesting to
witnesses, including tjhe matador's
skillful finesse in avoiding the mad
onrushes of the bull and has canny
understanding of the beast's actions.
For instance, he had often seen a
matador pause at the "psychological
moment," place his hand between the
bull's horns, turn his head toward
the stands and pause for a phota-graph.
However, he added, this can
last only a moment and the matador
knows that the beast will charge
again after a few seconds pause.
Because of his marvelous skill, in­jury
of a matador is an unusual "ac­cident"
just as are automobile acci­dents
in this country, he said.
When asked whether or not Mex­ican
people regarded our game of
football as brutal he answered "yes,
at first they do but after they learn
to understand the game they enjoy
it." He said football was becoming
a popular sport in Mexico and that he
believed that country would develop
some extremely skillful and speedy
football teams in the near future.

Jc/arly in the 17th century, tobacco seed
from America was taken to Turkey. Different soil,
different climate, different temperatures night
and day, and different farming methods produced
an entirely new tobacco—small in size, but very
rich and aromatic
Four certain spots are famous for the quality
of their Turkish tobacco — Xanthi and Cavalla in
Greece; Samsoun and Smyrna in Turkey. And it
is principally from these places that our buyers
get the Turkish for Chesterfield.
These Turkish tobaccos are blended, in just the
right amount, with Domestic tobaccos. It is this
blending and cross-b lending of just the right amount
of Turkish and Domestic tobaccos which gives
Chesterfield a flavor that neither possesses alone.

Richey Leads Auburn Tigers To
72 to 5 4 Victory In Athens
Finishing the season with the best
record made by an Alabama Polytech­nic
Institute plebe cage quintet in
four years, seven members of the
Cubs 1933 hardwood squad have been
voted numerals by the athletic coun­cil.
Manager Frank Hendon, Gads­den,
was also awarded a numeral.
The rodents turned in a dozen vic­tories
against' two defeats during the
past court campaign and will send up
several promising players to next
year's varsity team.
Numerals were awarded the fol­lowing:
Slim King, Crossville, and

Vernon Collins, Anniston; Hunter
Hamilton, Selma, and Ben Plummer,
Reddick, Fla., guards, and Hal Wyatt,
Five Points, and Woodrow Barnes,

Phoenix City Defeats
Auburn Frosh 5 To 4
Fine relief pitching by Howard
Smith in the eighth and ninth in­nings
halted an Auburn rally and
gave Phenix City High School a 5-4
triumph in the rodents second game
of the season and their first tilt on
the local diamond. Smith stopped
the Cubs from scoring after they had
counted twice off little Joe Kennedy
in the eighth and set the losers down
in order in the final frame, striking
out the final hitter to face him. Al­though
he was sent to the showers,
Kennedy pitched a nice game, giving
up only eight hits.
S^ott Dalton was in the box for the
Auburn frosh. He blanked the high
school lads the final six stanzas, but
a shaky start proved his downfall,
the winners scoring four markers in
the second and one in the third. Dal­ton
should pitch sterling ball when
he has confidence in himself.
Directing the hitting of the win­ners
was Benjamin Franklin and Sue
Carroll, each with two safeties. Fred
Black secured two of Auburn's hits.

tfohc toggery
Led by their star captain, Loyd
Richey, who scored fifteen points in
addition to breaking the Southern
Conference high jump mark, the Au­burn
Plainsmen scored an impressive
track victory over the Georgia Bull­dogs,
72 to 54 Saturday in Athens.
The Tigers captured nine of fourteen
first places.
Richey, by leaping 6 feet 4 inches,
topped the old record of 6 feet 2 3-4
inches set by Jack Stewart, of Au­burn,
in 1931. The Auburn captain
also took first in the high and low
hurdle events. Sterling Dupree won
both the 100 yard and 220 yard dash­es.
By virtue of their win Saturday,
the Tigers have been made favorites
to take top honors in the Southeastern
A. A. U. Championships this week­end
in Tuscaloosa. The injuries of
Dupree and Kimbrell, however, will
impair Auburn's chances to a consid­erable
extent. There is a possibility
that Dupree will be able to run, but
little hope is held out for Kimbrell's
participation in any action for sev­eral
weeks.

"A" CLUB SELECTS
CHRIETZBERG HEAD
At a recent meeting of the "A"
club, honorary student athletic or­ganization,
Will Chrietzberg, of Au­burn,
was elected president for 1933-
34. Chrietzberg is the outstanding
candidate for the center position on
the football team for the coming sea­son,
having had two years of varsity
experience previously, and proving
himself invaluable as a defensive
player.
Other officers who were elected at
this meeting are Commodore Wood,
vice-president,- who is a football let-terman
having held down the guard
position for the past two seasons; and
Loyd Richey, secretary-treasurer,
Richey being an outstanding track
man. Wood is from Wetumpka
while Richey is from Birmingham.
The retiring officers of the club
are Porter Grant, of Dothan, presi­dent;
Lee Johnson, Langdale, vice-president;
and Ike Parker, of Ozark,
secretary-treasurer.
SIGMA NU'S WINNERS
BASEBALL TOURNEY
The new deal started off with the
jack left out.—Judge.
The Sigma Nu's won the annual
interfraternity baseball tournament
yesterday, defeating the Kappa Sig-ma's,
6 to 3 in the final round.
The game was hard fought through­out.
Both teams scored a run apiece
in the first inning, and tied the score
again in the third at 3 all. The Sig­ma
Nu's broke the deadlock in the
fifth with a two-run rally. Alfred
Allen, third base, and Glenn Mitchell,
shortstop, were outstanding for the
winners.
The play of the Kappa Sigma in­field,
led by George Williams and Cash
Stanley, was the salient feature of
the losers' play. Stanley also starred
at the bat.
The Sigma Nu tennis team entered
the final round of the tennis tourna­ment
by trouncing Delta Sigma Phi
6-1, 6-4, in the semi-finals. They will
meet the S. A. E. team for the cham­pionship,
the later having eliminated
Alpha"Gamma Rho 6-1, 6-2, earlier in
the week.
Local Tankmen Will Close Sea­son
Here Tonight
The Montgomery "Y" swimming
team will come to Auburn tonight to
engage the Tiger swimmers in what
will probably be the final meet that
will be held here this year. The con­tests
will begin at seven o'clock and
a small admission of ten and twenty-five
cents will be charged.
The Capitol City tankmen boast of
one of the strongest teams in the
state and each event is expected to
be hotly contested. The invaders
have been engaging in meets with
several teams throughout the state
and have hung up an impressionable
record so far.
In their last intercollegiate meet
which was held with Emory, the
Plainsmen walked away with five
first places. The relay team, com­posed
of Peagler, LeBarron, Morris
and Wheeler, swam to a good time
of 2-37.9. Wheeler took first place
in the 50 yard free style event, Morris
took his usual first in the 440 yard
free style, Poole again captured hon­ors
in the diving contests, and Wheel­er
won out in the 220 yard free hon­ors
in the diving contests, and Wheel­er
won out in the 220 yard free style
race. Other members of the squad
also accounted for several points.
Conner swam to a second place in
the backstroke competition, while
Peagler, Morris and LeBarron finish­ed
second in the 50, 220 and 100, re­spectively.
The list of events in the meet to­night
will be altered somewhat. The
50, 100, 150 and 220 yard free style
events, and the 50 yard breast' stroke,
50 yard backstroke, diving and relay
will constitute the program.

PETRIE PORTRAYS ROOSEVELT
AS STRATEGIST IN ADDRESS
Graduate Dean Tells Kiwanians Of Achievements Of Roosevelt
Since Beginning Of Term, Commenting On His Ability As
A Master Strategist
President Roosevelt was pictured as
a master strategist by Dr. George
Petrie, dean of the graduate school
and professor of history at the Ala­bama
Polytechnic Institute, in ad­dressing
the Auburn Kiwanis club
Monday. The speaker doubted if any
other president of the United States
has ever equalled President Roosevelt
as a strategist of men. >
As illustrations of the president's
super achievements and strategy, Dr.
Petrie referred to the way he handled
Ex-Mayor Walker of New York City,
the way he has dealt with Congress,
the cabniet and the public since his
inauguration, and the way he is now
handling foreign affairs.
Dr. Petrie praised President Roose­velt
for his courage and his high in­tegrity.
Professor J. E. fitts, a member of
the club, discussed the military sit­uation
of the United States and made
an earnest appeal for a standing army
commensurate with needs for safety
at home and abroad. The club en­dorsed
a motion calling upon Presi­dent
Roosevelt and Congress not to be
too drastic in action upon appropria­tions
for the army.
Regular army officers making the
annual inspection of the R. 0. T. C.
unit of the Alabama Polytechnic Ins­titute
were guests of the club, they
being Major C. E. Lyons, Corps of
Engineers, and Major Reese Howell,
Field Artillery, of the General Staff,
Corps Headquarters, Fort McPherson,
Georgia.
Other guests were Major G. H.
Franke, Auburn commandant, Dr. M.
F. Jackson, Birmingham, A. C. Deck­er,
Birmingham, J. B. Wilson, and S.
L. Toomer, Auburn.
The soloist for the day was Miss
Lois Walker with Mrs. Mary Drake

Miss Louise Glanton
Rev. S. B. Hay Speaks
To Auburn Rotarians
Comradeship -between fathers and
sons is one of the most important
family relationships, said the Rev.
Sam B. Hay in speaking before the
Thursday meeting of the Rotary Club
in interest of the national celebration
of Boys' Week.
Reverend Hay said the frequent
participation of fathers with their
sons in various sorts of recreation
was one of the best ways to develop
this ideal relation. The speaker be­lieves
that fathers will have much
more influence in directing the lives
of their sons through the relationship
of a "pall" rather than one who mere-t
ly governs the boy.
The Boy Scout organization was
commended for its comprehensive pro­gram
of vocational guidance and char­acter
building which it offers the
youth of America.

SCOUTMASTER LOCAL TROOP
Active Civic Worker Is Appointed Scoutmaster Of Troop Num­ber
7; Under Leadership Of Scout Officials Troop Is Prac­ticing
Intensively For Jamboree To Be Held In Tallassee
Dr. John T. Oliver is the newly
appointed Scoutmaster of the local
troop No. 7, succeeding Rev. R. B.
McGehee. Walter E. Edwards is con­tinuing
as assistant Scoutmaster.
Dr. Oliver is a leader in civic en­terprises
at Auburn, being an active
member of the Kiwanis Club and
commander of the local post of the
American Legion.
Under the leadership of Scout of­ficials
and patrol leaders, Dennis
Newton, Mitchell Watkins, and Paul
Duggar, the troop is holding frequent
practices for the Boy Scout Jamboree
in Tallassee on May 5.
Tentative list of entrants in the va­rious

signalling—Stanley X)tt and
Mitchell Watkins; wig-wag signalling
—Junior Thomas and Herbert Martin,
Jr.; fire by friction—Paul Duggar;
string burning—either Ralph Hill or

Ivey; rescue race—Robert Smyer-,
Hamlin Tippins, Stanley Ott, Dennis
Newton, Marr Sahag, Charles Isbell,

It is expected that all but very few
of the Scouts will have secured uni­forms
before the Jamboree in order
that the troop may enter the inspec­tion
event.
In the year's Scout activity contest,
the local troop will make a strong bid
for the loving cup offered each year
by Roberts Blount of Tallassee. The
contest involves all types of Scout
work.

to Chicago, where it will present a
concert at the Century of Progress
Exposition on Alabama Day, as the
official representative of the state.
Tickets will be on sale at the offices
of the YMCA for this performance,
the price being fifteen cents.
Joe Ledbetter, editor-elect of the
Glomerata, made a statement yester­day
that 'Lynwood Poole had been
chosen as Art Editor of next' year's
annual. The selection was made by
the faculty of the Applied Arts De­partment,
Mr. P. 0. Davis and Led­better.
Poole is a junior enrolled in the
Commercial Art course. He has had
experience in illustration work in
Montgomery, his home town, and has
made several drawings for this year's
Glomerata.
This is the first time that the Art
Editor of the yearbook has been se­lected
in this fashion. In previous
years he has been elected by popular
vote of the incoming senior class. The
Executive Cabinet changed the pro­cedure
this year because it was
thought that the new plan would cause
the selection of the most efficient ar­tist.
Auburn Defeats Tech
In Hard Fought Game
Auburn defeated Georgia Tech 6-3
this afternoon in a hotly contested
extra-inning game. The score was
tied at three all after the final inning
and Coach McAllister's boys tallied
three runs in their half of the extra
canto.
The game developed into a pitcher's
duel between Arvin Payne, Auburn,
and Baker, Tech, with Payne holding
a slight advantage.
A long hit with two men on base,
which was mis-judged by the Engi­neer
left-fielder accounted for Au­burn's
victory. Red Head, who was
stationed at the hot corner today,
came to bat and knocked out the long,
fast flying home-run which brought
in the winning runs.
The two teams meet again tomor­row
afternoon at two-thirty. Ripper
Williams will probably draw the hurl­ing
assignment for Auburn with Au­brey
Lewis catching.

Auburn Polo Squad
Beats Horse Guards
Auburn's crack polo squad defeated
the Governor's Horse Guards of At­lanta
11 to 4 on the local field the past
week.
The Tiger riders showed much im­provement
over their recent perform­ances
making over half of their shots
taken at the goal good.
The outstanding feature was the ex­cellent
team work displayed by the
Plainsmen, and their ability to ma-nouver
the ball into position for short
scoring plays.
Coach Gunby started a new com­bination
in 'LeRoy Fincher, No. lj
Lewis Jones, No. 2;'Oel Johnson, No.
3; and Justin Morrill, No. 4; which
played well together. Jones led the
Tigers with four goals. Both Morrill
and Fincher played well while they
were in the game.
Clark, who scored three of his teams
point's, was the leading performer for
the losers.
The next polo game for the Plains­men
will be Saturday, May 6, at 2:30,
on Bullard field with the Maxwell
Field Flyers furnishing the opposi­tion.
The Tigers will seek revenge
for an 8 to 7 loss earlier in the sea­son.

came a layer of paper to make it
tight and on top of this strips were
nailed for attaching an oak floor
which has been highly finished.
The room is 74 by 34 feet. Ad­joining
it are the reading room and
offices of the Y.M.C.A. and Y.W.OA.
and also a rest room for ladies. A
limited amount of furniture will be
installed before the opening. More
will be added as funds are available.
