Professor Hill Will
Speak to Bible Class
Professor William W. Hill of Au­burn
is to be the speaker at the Stu­dent's
Bible Class of the Baptist
Church on Sunday morning at 9:45
a. m. Since Professor Hill is one
of Auburn's leading citizens, the of­ficials
of the class feel that they
have been very fortunate in securing
him as one of the speakers on their
program.
Professor Hill is an Auburn man,
having taken three degrees in the
school of engineering. He has been
connected with the college in an of­ficial
capacity since 1900. He also
holds a Master's degree from Johns
Hopkins. Those who have heard
him say that he is a most interesting
and forceful speaker. • '
At present he is the chairman of
the Board of Deacons, chairman of
the Board of Trustees, and associate
superintendent of the Sunday School
of the Auburn Baptist Church. He
is active in all other departments of
the church also. Due to his many
friends in town and to his ability, it
is expected that many will visit the
class to hear him.
KEYS SOCIETY WILL
CONVENE FOR SECOND.
TIME TUESDAY NIGHT
Meeting Called for the Purpose
of Discussing Initiation of
New Pledges
OFFICERS ELECTED
Pledges Decide to Give Dance
and Banquet at Mid-Term
Dances
The Keys, interfraternity organi­zation,
will hold a meeting at the
Lambda Chi Alpha house next Sat­urday
night at 8:15 for the purpose
of discussing the initiating of this
year's pledges. The membership of
Keys is drawn from the pledges of
each fraternity, belonging to the In­terfraternity
Council. The purpose
of the organization is to promote a
friendly feeling between its members.
• At the last meeting, Buster Bor­den
was elected vice-president and
Lawrence Ennis was elected secre­tary
and treasurer for the ensuing
year. About . thirty members at­tended
the meeting which was held
at the Pi Kappa Alpha House. The
social program during the Mid-Term
Dances was mapped out and it was
decided to give a morning dance and
banquet to follow in Opelika. Every
year the Keys banquet in Opelika
holds the spotlight of all outside so­cial
festivities given during this set
of dances and an another gala pro­gram
has been arranged for the one
this year.
Last year, Keys was one of the
sponsors of the Fraternity-Go-to-
Church-Month and gave a trophy to
the fraternity that won the contest.
It will probably sponsor some such
contest this year since one of its
aims is to encourage and promote
worthy competitions of this kind.
Tennis Tourney Will
Start Next Saturday
The round robin tennis tournament,
which is being staged under the au­spices
of the Country Club, will get
under way next Saturday, November
5th.
Valuable prizes will be awarded
the four top-ranking players. Every
tennis player in school is eligible to
enter, and a great deal of enthusiasm
has been expressed over the tourna­ment.
The entry fee of fifty cents must
be paid to Streeter Wiatt at the
Registrar's office not later than
Thursday noon of next week. Rack­ets
will be made and posted on the
bulletin board in Samford Hall so
that entrants who so desire may begin
play Friday.
All players in the tournament are
asked to be at the Country Club
courts Saturday afternoon at 1:30
p. m.

NOTICE!
There will be a meeting of the
Plainsman staff Sunday night at 7
o'clock in the Y. M. C. A. All mem­bers
of the staff are urged to be
present.
Percy Beard, instructor in Civil
Engineering and member of the
United States Olympic team, was the
honor guest at the Rotary .Club meet­ing
yesterday. He was introduced
to the members by his track coach,
Wilbur Hutsell. Beard told the club
about the Olympic competition in
Los Angeles last summer. First, he
pictured the layout of the village,
which housed the athletes. Each
team had a certain section of the vil­lage
with their own cooks and special
menus. There' was a hospital and
dentist's office in the medical quart­ers.
A bus line ran from the quart­ers
to the stadium and training fields
to supply adequate transportation for
the teams.
"As for the games themselves,
what impressed me most was the or­der
in which the events were run off,"
said Beard. "Everything was run
in clock-like manner and the offici­ating
was remarkable," he continued.
Mr. Baughman, secretary of the
club, gave a brief summary of dis­trict
governor Blair's talk to the
board of directors. He said that
the program was discussed and they
were reminded that it should consist
of fun, fellowship and inspiration.
(Continued on page 4)
In preparation for the Mississippi
game tomorrow, a giant pep meeting
will be held tonight at 7 o'clock. All
Freshmen are required to be present
and everyone is urged to learn the
words of the Alma Mater which will
be practiced.
The highlights of the meeting will
be a short talk by Captain Jimmie
Hitchcock, and the final tryouts for
Freshman cheerleader. The "A" Club
members will judge the winner from
the following contestants: Bill Mc-
Call, Bill McTyeire, Bill Thomas, and
Bo Crooks.
In response to the prizes of $5.00,
$5.00, and $2.00 offered for the three
best yells submitted, many new yells
have been turned in. The prize win­ners
will be announced during the
course of the rally tonight.
The Auburn Band will be present
to lend its aid. Cheerleader Ham re­quests
the cooperation of the student
body in giving the team a send-off.
Final action of the Legislature on
appropriations" for Auburn, for 'other
institutions of learning, and for oth­er^
State functions remains in doubt
as the Plainsman goes to press today.
The Goode bill, which passed the
House by an overwhelming vote, has
been presented to the Senate eom-mittee
on finance and taxation, where
action is in doubt.
Certain indications are that any
appropriation bill will be a compro­mise
bill between the advocates of
the Goode bill and those advocating
the joint committee bill.
The warrant validating bill is be­ing
questioned by the senate com­mittee
on finance and taxation and
the Supreme Court is being request­ed
to give an opinion on it.
Supporters of the Goode bill are
persistent in their effort to put this
bill across in both houses but the ad­ministration
forces . are not favor­able
to it, thus leaving the final out­come
in doubt.

Herman Jones to Talk
On Mexico at A.S.M.E.
Herman Jones, one' of Auburn's
outstanding research chemists, will
speak on his travels and experiences
in Mexico this past summer at the
A. S. M. E. meeting next Monday,
October 31. His talk will be illus­trated
by pictures he took all along
the way, and he has many slides
showing interesting views of Mexico.
This talk should prove instructive
as well as amusing, as the audience
will learn much about the customs
and habits of this neighboring coun­try
and see pictures illustrating them.
Everybody is invited, but all Me
chanical and Aeronautical students
are especially urged to come and join
the A. S. M. E. in room 109 Ramsay
at 7:45 p. m. Monday night.
Auburn's first vaudeville show will
be the feature attraction at the Tiger
Theatre Thursday, November 3. A
large number of attractive features
are to be included on the program of
the company, who are known by the
name of "Follies Parisian," among
which are a "torch" singer, adagio
dancers, and comedians.
This company comes here directly
from an engagement in one of Chat­tanooga's
large theatres, and seems
to be above the average company on
tour. Mr. Rogers was unable to say
whether the vaudeville would be put
ont the regular schedule of the the­atre,
but he said that he thought it
was possible that the theatre would
include vaudeville about once every
two weeks.
News Flashes
From Abroad
The postponement of the Auburn
Alumni meeting, scheduled for to­night
in Montgomery, has been an
nounced by Will Paterson, president
of the Auburn Alumni Association
of Montgomery County. Mr. Pater­son
gave as the reason for postpone­ment,
the conflict with tonight's en­counter
between Lanier High School
and Woodlawn High School. Since a
number of Auburn grads are inter­ested
in this game, and it would be
impossible for them to attend both
affairs, the rally has been changed to
next Friday night, which is the eve
of the Auburn and Howard game.
The meeting was originally sched­uled
for 7 o'clock this evening in the
ballroom of the Exchange Hotel, and
a large crowd was expected. The ob-ject
of the meeting was to express
gratitude to Coaches Wynne, Kiley,
and McAllister for the excellent
work that they have done in convert­ing
the Tigers from one of the Con­ference's
lowest rated teams to the
leading contenders for the Southern
Loop title.
Plans will move forward for the
get-to-gether smoker next Friday
night and the coaches will attend the
function..

KIMBRELL TO PLAY
Beginning with a parade through
the business section of town at 3:30
yesterday and ending with the coron­ation
of the Harvest Queen last
night, the Ag Fair proved a note­worthy
success. The annual event
was sponsored by students in Agri­culture,
Home Economics, and Vet­erinary
Medicine.
- The parade began with the band
at the head, followed by a float pul- j
led by a. tractor; next in line were
four cowboys astride horses; close
upon them was the Home Economics
float and the Milk float; these were
followed by the Agronomy display,
Block and Bridle Club hogs, a bull,
the Entomology float, and last of all
a celebrator who called himself the
"tail."
The program was continued in
Comer Hall by music, the climbing of
the greased pole, riding of a bull by
Sam Brewster, vocal selections from
the faculty, shoe race, buck dancing
by Benford, Shotts, and Sullivan, a
mock funeral in which farm extrava­gance
was buried, further bull rid­ing
by Messrs. Brewster, Griffin, and
Gibbs, a wheelbarrow polo game, and
last of all the crowning of the Har­vest
Queen.
Miss Jean Funchess, attractive
daughter of M. J. Funchess, Dean of
Agriculture, was selected Harvest
Queen.

TWO YEARS SHOW NOTICEABLE
ADVANCE IN TEXTILES - CAMP
Seeking to increase productivity
and improve the quality of textile
products, the industry has come a
long way in the past two years, said
Prof. E. W. Camp of the Auburn
school of textile engineering upon
his return from the Southern Textile
Exposition held last week in Green­ville,
S. C,
Some of the machines exhibited by
manufacturers have reduced the
number of operators required by
more than 70 per cent. Still other
machines have- increased the speed
of certain textile operations 15
times that of those now in use, and
the efficiency of others has been in­creased
by 60 to 70 per cent through
improvements of the last two years,
he said.
Professor Camp said that a num­ber
of the manufacturers of textile
equipment reported recent increases
in the sale of their machinery.
Accompanying Prof. Camp to the
exposition were S. W. Garrett, col­lege
purchasing agent, Prof. W. E,
Tarrant, and H. P. Duncan, sopho­more

Mrs. S. L. Toomer, of Auburn, was
re-elected president of the Fourth
District, Alabama Federation of
Music Clubs, at a meeting Jield in
Clanton on October 18. Mrs. Earl C.
Hazel, also of Auburn, was chosen
secretary.
Included in the program of the
gathering was an address by the
president of the Alabama federation,
Mrs. Reid Lancaster, of Montgom­ery,
who outlined the policies for the
coming year; a report on the progress
of the distinct clubs during the past
year by Mrs. Toomer, who said that
the worlf was encouraging; reports
by individual club presidents; a lun­cheon
at which the ladies of Clanton

Auburn Knights to Play for
Dance at Old Standard Club
Tomorrow Night
One of the gayest dances of the
season will be the Auburn-Ole Miss
football dance in Montgomery, Sat­urday
night after the game. The Au­burn
Knights have been selected as
the Music Masters of the occasion,
and the ball room will be gayly deco­rated
with the colors of both schools.
The dance will be held in the Farm
Bureau Building, better known as the
old Standard Club, and will last from
nine-thirty 'til one.
Many out of town visitors, who
will attend the game, are expected
to be present.' The dance after the
Birmingham-Southern game is re­membered
as a most enjoyable affair,
and this one is expected to be a repe­tition
of past gaities held at the
Farm Bureau Building in honor of
Auburn.
American Legion to
Meet Monday Night
A call meeting of the Auburn Post
of the American Legion will be held
Monday night, October 31st at 7:30

Dr. John T. Oliver, especial­ly
urges that all ex-service men be
present in order that plans may be
drawn up for the annual Armistice
Day program, November 11th.
Washington, Oct. 27.—Of the 10,-
000,000 Americans jobless as the re­sult
of the depression, about a half
million of these have received jobs
in the last month according to the
report of the American Federation,
of Labor. This is the third consecu­tive
month that has resulted in the
decrease in unemployment.
RECEPTION GIVEN IN ROANOKE
HONORING MISS D0BBS' FATHER
Miss Zoe Dobbs, dean of women
at Auburn, was in Roanoke Thursday
night attending a reception in honor
of the eightieth birthday of her
father, Dr. S. L. Dobbs, who for
more than half a century has been a
member of the North Alabama con­ference.
The reception was given at the
home of Dr. T. L. McDonald, presid­ing
elder of the Roanoke district.
Mrs. McDonald is Dr. Dobbs, daugh­ter
and a sister of Miss Zoe Dobbs.
Friends and co-workers of Dr.
Dobbs in five counties surrounding
Roanoke attended the reception and
brought greetings to the hon'oree who
is distinguished for himself and by
his children. Bishop Hoyt M. Dobbs
is his son.
Dr. Dobbs became active in the
ministry early in life and has disting­uished
himself wherever he has been
located.
The Mississippi aggregation, coach­ed
by E. Walker, is reported to have
a baffling pass offense and the Plains­men
have spent a large part of this
week preparing for an aerial at­tack.
Porter Grant's knee was sprained
during the Tulane melee and his place
at left end will in all probability be
filled by Bennie Fenton, promising
sophomore. Outside • of this one
change, the starting line-up of last
week will probably begin the game.
Donald Jones and Boots Chambless
looked excellent in the New Orleans
tilt and are expected to play a major
part in the Ole Miss fracas. The
tackle posts were ably filled by Buddy
McCollum and Tiny Holmes, who
time after time repulsed Tulane's
Don Zimmerman. McCollum and
Holmes, both juniors, are expected
to give ambitious Mississippi backs
plenty of trouble Saturday. Gump
Ariail played a stellar role in Tu­lane's
defeat and with Bennie Fenton
playing left end very few end runs
will get past the line of scrimmage if
Gump and Bennie continue their
meteor-like performances. Lee John­son
was a bulwark of strength at the
sriapperback position; assisted by Will
Chrietzberg, who played a major part
of the game Jast week. If for any
reason Johnson cannot start, Chrietz­berg,
will give plenty of trouble to
the opposing fullback.
Ripper Williams, capable signal-barker,
will begin at the quarterback
post as he has shown all the qualifi­cations
of becoming one» of the
South's most outstanding signal-callers.
Capt. Jimmy Hitchcock,
given the biggest ovation ever ac­corded
an opposing player in New
Orleans last Saturday, will hold down
one half-back post with Allen Rogers
at the other. However, if Hitchcock's
knee is giving hjm too much trouble,
Phipps or Kimbrell may start at his
place.
For the Mississippi team, Caruth-ers,
a guard, and Burke and Hutson,
backfield aces are expected to give
Auburn the most trouble.
Fraternity Heads to

YOU CAN'T PRINT THAT!
In the October 21 issue of the Crimson-
White appeared an editorial exposing in no
uncertain terms the corrupt means adopted
by several candidates for the Honor Com­mittee
in an unprincipled effort to secure
votes for their election to this body. This
exposure was closely followed by an edi­torial
in the Birmingham Age-Herald which
takes cognizance of the situation and com­ments
upon the seriousness thereof.
Many will say that Editor Duncan of
the Crimsvn-White erred in printing this
exposure of a deplorable-condition; the fact
that the state press has placed the situation
before the eyes of the public will.injure
the reputation of the school, they will say.
But we beg to disagree and give our hearty
endorsement to Editor Duncan's action.
He now finds himself in a situation similar
to that in which the Plainsman staff was
last spring. We still hear echoes of the
damning condemnations directed at us for
our issue of January 27, in which we
chanced to tell the truth about the cheating
situation here. We believe that that issue
of the paper did more for the institution
than all the other editions put together.
Cheating as a habitual practice is fast dis­appearing
here; the decrease in cribbing
may be responsible in part for the unusual
interest manifested by students in their
work this year. We believe that we did the
school a commendable service, whether the
institution or anybody else agrees with us
•or not. We have the facts. We printed
the truth in January, and we are printing
the truth now; what we published last
spring was done so in shame, but when we
say now that cheating has gone almost
completely out of vogue here, is is with a
feeling of pride.
Nothing will bring an erring wrong-doer
to justice more quickly, nothing will ac­complish
repentance more completely than
the advertisement of the offender's mis­deeds.
We further believe that it is better
for the public to know the truth, for reputa­tion
and prestige alone are little more than
thin shells of hypocrisy. We fear that too
much attention is still paid to our appear­ance
to outsiders; let the public see us as
we are, and it will be quick to-recognize it
if we are fvorth a tinker's damn.
We wish to congratulate the Crimson-
White for its courageous stand on the po­litical
corruption that has come under its
notice; the editor is following a rather hazy
ideal, and his only reward will be abuse
from the herd. But it takes a man with
character and intelligence to draw criticism
from the mob.
SHADES OF TAMMANY
Freshmen have jumped into the political
stream with a loud splash, but we pause to
wonder if they realize where the stream
will carry them. From observation of the
election "hooey" going on Thursday after­noon
we would venture to say they are
headed into the same corrupt channel their
predecessors have been sinking in during
the last three years. N
Political virtue has not been one of our
characteristics. Elections are run in. a way
miraculous to us all. Perhaps it is true
that we have learned our tricks from watch­ing
the maneuvers of our dear governments
but if we are ever to emerge from the po­litical
mire, the present college generation
must learn the fundamentals of reform.
The freshmen class has an opportunity
well worth realizing. It is an opportunity
all the preceeding classes have ignored. It
has the chance of organization which could
lead to worthwhile enterprises. The class
of '36 could get together and really become
a force, a working unit which could demand
its rights as an organization. It is only
up to the members to prove themselves en­dowed
with the necessary iron abdominal
investitures to accomplish this.
The results of this election will be the
determining factor as to whether the fresh­men
are willing to follow "willy-nilly" in
the steps of upperclassmen or whether they
are alive enough to develop an element sad­ly
lacking throughout .past years. The
executive of a body is all important. He
should be efficient, capable of leadership,
and possessing a strong personality.. Did
the freshmen consider this when they voted?
Probably not. From evidences of the cam­paign
and election the man who is named
President will have athletic and lobbying
talents rather than executive. True, the
football man is usually the most popular
but does he have the time or,interest to
develop any new enterprise? Neither does
the best-all-around-slap-you-on-the-back fel­low
have any thought but of his own glory.
This freshman class is said to be serious
and possessed of unfreshman like intellect.
We are wondering as we watch for the out­come
of the election.—N. T.
FORSAKE NOT THE STRAIGHT
AND NARROW
All our pleading was in vain. The lazy
schoolboys still trek across the grass with
unconscious expressions. Freshmen adver­tise
their respective political merits with
glaring signs. The campus continues to
appear shabby.
What can be done? - We can keep the
Plainsman staff off the grass, but who will
look after the other fifteen hundred and
seventy-five students? We rather think
that this is a case of individual responsi-.
bility, where we can do little to improve the
situation.
Think is a rather useful habit at times;
should some of the campus sluggards em­ploy
their brains in this particular case and
keep their feet on the sidewalks they would
be doing the institution a valuable service.
Our chaste reputation has been placed
in jeopardy several times lately when
divers and sundry folk have called and want
to know if this is the Cajoler office.
The freshmen went back to Mark Hanna
days yesterday when expectant candidates
flouted campaign promises from glaring
signs carrying slogans like "The full din­ner
pail." i
That reminds us that candidates next
spring would do well to summon" mass meet­ings
and call each other liars to their faces.
Probably the most amusing thing we saw
in New Orleans was a spirited alumnus
waving a mop with a sign -attached, read­ing:
"Mop up that Green Wave."
The North Carolina Daily Tar-Heel lays
Alabama courts by their heels in an edi­torial
on the Scottsboro case. And strange
to say, those Tar Heelers have an uncom­fortable
habit of being right.
The Casual Observer makes some most
painstaking observations, as the staff ap­proaches
a state of stark madness every
issue waiting on yon scribe's copy.
Under pressure from many misled women
students, we started printing the co-ed edi­torial
with no. credit line or indication as
to who the writer was. Judging from the

THE FRATERNITY LEACH
With pledge day now only a memory ,the
young pledge is beginning to form his habits
of conduct for his college life. But may he
not allow himself to be classed as a large
majority of his older fraternity brethren as
nothing more than a "fraternity leach"—
that is, one who came to .college with but
one aim and that to "make" a fraternity;
and now that he has made one he is com­pletely
satisfied.
This fraternal parasite does absolutely
nothing. He refuses to take part in activi­ties
because he has too little time—seeing
the movies. His studies worry him only to
the extent of his passing them. He receives
nothing from college but what his fraterni­ty
gives him. The only honors he might
get—such as making a social order, or be­ing
elected dance leader—are got purely
and simply through his fraternity member­ship.
His friendships are few. And even
to his closest acquaintances his opinions are
regarded lightly.
He is a non-entity. He takes all from
the fraternity and gives nothing in return.
His grades pull down the fraternity aver­age,
and his general conduct is oftimes a
disgrace to his more respectful brothers.

BEFORE PROCEEDING let us be un­derstood
as thinking that the Social
Committee is a good committee and
is quite all right.
Now we will procede and go to the .cam­pus
drug store, and listen to the campus
talk concerning the orchestras invited to
play for our three big dances that we have
once a year.
The talk is that everyone who went to
the Sophomore Hop liked the'orchestra and
the music, but not enough people went.
Probably the Tulane game had something
to do with the slender attendance. But
from what I heard as I was listening to the
talk going around; the average man, when
he goes to a dance, wants some big or­chestra
to play for him while he dances.
Everyone thought that the orchestra that
played for the Hop wasn't big enough.
Everyone realizes that the finances of
the social committee are limited, but thinks
that the committee - San work out a plan
whereby we can have a big orchestra, and.
come out pretty well on the financial ques­tion
too.
From what I have heard, most of the
boys and girls around here would like to
have Guy Lombardo play for the Junior
Prom.
If, they think, Auburn, Tech, Alabama
and Georgia could get together on the social
situation; we could get Lombardo at a rea­sonable
price. They think that if a big
orchestra came here, more people would go,
regardless of the price.
Please don't think that I or anyone else
wants to criticise The Auburn Knights. I
think everyone thinks around here that we
have the best orchestra in Alabama in The
Knights. But when an Auburn man dances,
he seems to want something whopping big
to dance by.
Now what I think about the dance situ­ation
. . . I would be willing to pay $15
or $20 for a ticket to see Guy Lombardo play
for the Junior Prom.

Allah deliver me from tenors at twilight
and basses at bath. My favorite is a

I hate people who will speak sometimes
and look into store windows the next time
to keep from speaking. If you're going to
speak on Monday, speak on Tuesday too.
Be consistent- about it. If you can't do
that, haye me reminded not to speak to you
at all, because sometime I feel quite badly
when someone doesn't speak to me, and I
think of calling him what the tough army
mule driver called the mule that kicked him
on the hip pocket.

Blessed is the man who has his picture
taken for the Glomerata. He has someone
to care, someone who will like a picture of
him.

I'm still looking for it.

I saw "Smiling Through" Monday night.
I saw it again Tuesday night. That show
affected me greatly. Part of the plot hap­pened
between 1840 and 1860, that golden
age of mine. Whenever I think of it, I am
sad because I wasn't born in 1825, and liv­ing
in 1840, instead of almost a hundred
years later.
Three girls behind me in the theatre cried
as if their hearts would break when the
bride was killed at the church, and I want­ed
to comfort them, and tell them every­thing
would be all right, but I couldn't; I
was busily engaged wiping tears from the
person with me, with a towel.

I CAN ASSURE YOU: I am worried
about the reported romance of a certain
red-haired co-ed, and a yellow-headed man.
My old habit of worrying has come back.
He is a hypocrite. He delights in domi­nating
the freshmen, and takes great pleas­ure
in telling them they must get into ac­tivities
and make the honor roll. He makes
a fine first appearance with his light con­versation
and hearty, hail-fellow-well-met
attitude. To a group of rushees he is in his
prime. But after pledge day he is hardly
heard of—except when the mid-term warn­ings
are posted.
His membership is a curse to any fra­ternity.
And the sooner the other fraterni­ty
men as well as the pledges themselves
realize this fact that soon will membership
in a fraternity mean more than a mere
social stamp. And until this truth is defi-a
nitely perceived the success of fraternities
in general still hangs in the balance.

famed archaeologist, next Tuesday.
Boethius is a graduate of the famous
Uppsala University in Sweden. He spent
three years in Greece as a member of the
British School of Archaeology. While in
Greece he devoted a short time to excavat­ing
with the American School of Archae­ology
expedition of which Dr. J. P. Harland
of the University was a member.
Boethius' work deals mainly with the an­cient
architecture of Greece and Rome, but
his special field is that of the architecture
of the small Roman town. He is in America
to deliver a series of lectures on Roman
Domestic Architecture and the problems of
the small town of Rome in the ancient
times.
For the last five years Boethius has been

- University of Tennessee, Knoxville, Tenn.
—Students at the University of Tennessee
are evidently not headed for the "bow­wows"
after all. There is still some hope
for them. According to opinions recently
expressed by interviewed members' of the
U. T. faculty, the modern student is far
from being the irresponsible, unapprecia-tive
youth that narrow-visioned individuals
often prone to picture him as being.
That he is more or less interested in so­cial
life and athletic activities is possibly
true. But what is wrong with that? Such
activities, in moderation, are certainly es­sential
to a well-rounded career. Although
college has long been recognized as solely
a place for attaining higher learning, the
student of today, it seems, is interested pri­marily
in securing knowledge—whether so-cial^
athletic, professional or cultural—that
will enable him to live and enjoy life more
efficiently. Surely such an objective is
worthy of attainment.
There is still a need, however, for stu­dents
to take a greater interest in scholar­ship.
At present, according to Miss Steph­ens
of the history department, "they do
not value scholarship for scholarship's
sake." A lack of creative thinking is plain­ly
evident in the majority of students. They
merely study their assignments—and no
more.
Here at the University there is a large
library that could be used to advantage by
students interested in independent, self-di­rected
study along various lines. But "the
second mile" is seldom made by the average
student. Only the exceptional scholar has
been taking advantage of this opportunity.
However, the modern student possesses,
in many respects, a better standard of
values, explained Miss Stephens. He is es­sentially
practical. In regard to national
and international problems, "the student is
endeavoring to learn the truth." No longer
does he close his mind to.all considerations
of such a thing as world peace. No longer
is he afraid to face the every-day problems,
both social and economic, that have been
shunned by the generations of the past. But
by attacking the problems of practical life
that have long been the bane of an indus­trialized
civilization, the modern student,
open-minded and unafraid, is striving to­ward
something better. He is willing to
try the new. As the recent poll taken by
the Orange and White indicated, in refer­ence
to the 'League of Nations and the
World Court, the student no longer harbors
fear of international relations nor dreads
the so-called "entanglements" that have
been avoided by preceding generations. But
the student of today, it seems, is willing
to march forth and explore the possibilities
of a new and better civilization. This atti­tude
is very encouraging.
The University of Tennessee students, in
the opinion of Miss Stephens, have not fail­ed,
in spite of their changed attitudes, to
uphold the standards of true Southern
courtesy. "Since I have been at the Uni­versity,"
said Miss Stephens, "the students
in my classes have always been very polite
and courteous. It has been my observation
that in the South the students respect their
professors and try to co-operate with them
in the classes. A feeling of comradeship
seems to exist between the faculty and the
students." It is this consideration from the
students that makes teaching a pleasure to
the faculty.

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.
FOR QUITE a long time the writer has
pondered over the great amount of
specialization as practiced in Ameri­can
colleges. The inevitable statistics show
that there is an increase rather than a de­crease
in this practice throughout the coun­try.
Specialization to me, suggests smug­ness
when not intermingled with at least a
reasonable amount of non-specialized sub­jects.
Perhaps from the layman's point of
view we look at this condition through
"smoked" glasses.
On the other hand we turn to the past
and find the greatest specialists in the his­tory
of the world have interspersed their
technical knowledge with a little of the
views of the other world. And in saying
other world, I believe that I have made a
true observation of the outlook of the spe­cialist
upon any other than his chosen
field.
Some will say, perhaps, that to be a truly
great master of one's own field one must
allow no diverting thoughts to enter into
the barricade of figures, calculations, obser­vations,
diagnoses, and standard terminol­ogies.
But in this new era of the machine,
as we create day by day more and more de­vices
to enable one man to do the work of
a thousand, we are precipitating from our
single-mindedness an outlook on life which
will eventually encrust us in a shell from
which there is no escape. We are becom­ing
robots instead of human beings and
despite the age old call that has come down
from time immemorial, a calf from man to
his fellow man, we are losing what we
should strive for throughout our life. Out
of such an ending will come an end to all
personal associations.
Primarily, all things came from one
source and the only true course that can
be followed is one which will carry them
again into one.
THe average engineering student could
not scan a line of poetry or name three of
the talented contemporary authors off-hand;
the medical aspirant hasn't the slightest
conception of the functions of electricity or
bridge-building; neither has the young law­yer
more than a hazy idea of the mystery
of the simple principles of first-aid; the
artistic and literary inclined sniffs at the
rudiments of science and engineering a "b
c's. Few of them can write an intelligent
letter or even speak in broader terms than
monosyllables.
Only by broadening our minds with a
knowledge of as many divisions of educa­tion
as can be reasonably learned, can we
off-set this tendency to crawl within our
shells and there for the remainder of our
lives be the hopeless victims of over-special­ization.

The term "fascism" holds many mean­ings
for the laity. In the Encyclopedia
Italiana, II Duce attempted a short while
ago to define the "Political and Social Doc­trine
of Fascism." Said Benito, "Above all,
Fascism does not believe in the possibility
or advisability of perpetual peace. . . . It
therefore rejects pacifism." . . . "The Fas­cist
loves his neighbor . . . but love of his
neighbor does not prevent the necessary
educational severity, much less differences
and distances. Fascism rejects universal
brotherhood." . . . "Fascism believes always
in sanctity and heroism—that is, in acts in
which no economic motive . . . enters. Fas­cism
rejects the conception of economic
'happiness' . . . Fascism denies the equa­tion
that well-being equals happiness." . . .
"Democratic regimes can be defined as those
in which, from time to time, people are giv­en
the illusion of being sovereign . . . Fas­cism
rejects in democracy the absurd, con­ventional
life of political equality."
Mussolini must have become a trifle con­fused
when he attempted to define his own
system. At any rate he said that in the
event that an II Duce No. 2 came, that he
did not believe that the Italian people would
stand for him.

Auburn's high-scoring Tigers con­tinue

181 points to their opponents'
14 to lead the race for the second

it. For the first time since Georgia
beat Tulane back in 1928, a South­ern
Conference team had done the
job. And as the Auburn team walk­ed
off the field, leaving New Orleans'
football idol.toppled behind them, the
Tulane thousands rose to their feet
and sent a burst of handclapping
across the field; New Orleans' tribute
to one of the greatest football teams
that has played within the city's
gates for four years.
"They are dynamite, those Auburn
players in their orange jerseys with
the black numerals. They were chain-lightning
unchained. They had fly­ing
feet. They had guts. They had
brains. They had everything. They
didn't try to win inside the secret
political circles of the Southern Con­ference.
They won out in the open
field; won cleanly; won because they
were the better team. They weren't
a fluke in their victory. They out-speeded
. Tulane. They out-tackled
Tulane. They out-plunged Tulane.
And down in the heart of the bitter
fighting in the muck of the line, they
out-gamed Tulane and slashed the
great Tulane line to tatters.
". . . Those Tigers of the Plains,
clean, fast, strong, brainy, sports­men,
have done what no other team
in Dixie could do for nearly four
years. They have dethroned the
champions of the Southern Confer­ence,
the^ three-year champions. New
Orleans follows them the rest of
the season with a sportsmen's good
wish for the title they have earned.

King."

"The curfew will not ring tonight,
mates, for Tulane has been beaten.
And beaten fairly and squarely as
ever a team has ever had its colors
lowered". A new day dawned for
Auburn. For years the Tigers have
been chased to their lair, cornered
and made to look like lambs instead
of beasts of the field, but they have
come back under many a stinging
blow to be the first to totter a great
Tulane team from the throne.

As the twenty-three members of
the Southern Conference turn the
half-way mark and prepare to sweep
down the home stretch, the sensa­tional
Tigers from the Plains of Au­burn
and the mighty Volunteers of
the University of Tennessee lead the
parade, with V. P. I., South Carolina,
L. S. U., and N. C. State, with clean
slates, seeking to block their path to
an undisputed championship.
Of these six teams who have per­fect
records so far, South Carolina
seems destined to fall from the un­beaten
class this week, when they en­counter
the powerful Tulane Green
Wave. . The rest of the Gamecock
schedule include L. S. U., N. C. State,
and Auburn.
North Carolina State has three
teams remaining on her schedule,
North Carolina, Duke, and South
Carolina. Duke is improving every
week and should knock the Staters
out of the running.
L. S. U. has only Sewanee and Tu­lane
blocking her path to glory. The
Green Wave, however, is still rolling,
and should be rolilng in with enough
force by the end of, the season to trip
the Tiger from Louisiana.
V. P. I. has Alabama, Virginia, and
V. M. I. to beat. Whipping 'Bama,
however, seems an impossible task.
Tennessee faces such opposition as
Duke, Mississippi State, Vandy, Ken­tucky,

through the, season undefeated. Four
conference —games remain on the
Tiger schedule, Mississippi, Florida,
Georgia, and South Carolina. The
game with Georgia looms as the
greatest obstacle to the Plainsmen's
first Southern Conference champion­ship
in thirteen years.
Although losing their initial South­ern
Fonference game, 25-6, the mem­bers
of Coach Bull McFaden's fresh­man
team are expected to give the
best rat team that Georgia Tech has
had in many years a good scrap when
the two rodent elevens clash on Grant
Field this afternoon. In the en­counter
with Georgia last week, Mc­Faden's
proteges were inefficient on
tackling in the open field. The Geor­gia
freshmen capitalized the errors of
the first-year men to score their
touchdowns; the Auburn "Rats"
showing lack of an organized offense.
The latter fact was no doubt due to
the fact that the local rodents have
spent most of their practice periods
in scrimmaging the varsity with op­posing
team's plays, in the meantime
having to neglect their own offense.
The freshmen were also handicapped
in that five members of the first-string
were in poor physical condition
due to injuries received in battling
the Varsity. However, since Hill,
Tolve, Watson, O'Rourke and Boteler
in first-class shape Auburn should be
able to give the Tech first-year men
a real battle. «

"Auburn's Plainsmen left nothing
in doubt as to the end of the Green
Wave's reign in Dixie when they
swept over Tulane, 19 to 7, at Tu-lane
Stadium Saturday. Outclassing
Tulane, both rfh offense and defense,
and literally tying Tulane into knots
with the zip of Hitchcock's dazzling
attack, the Plainsmen looked like a
perfectly coached football team.
". . . With Gump Ariail and Buddy
McCollum smearing Tulane plays by
bowling over Tulane's interference
like ten pins; with Fenton and Ariail
always on their feet and down the
field under punts or on open plays

Auburn's great victory over the
mighty Tulane Green Wave has won
for the Plainsmen national acclaim.
Sports writers everywhere have been
singing the praises of the team, which
only three short years ago stood at
the bottom of the Southern Confer­ence.
Today, due to the untiring ef­forts
on the part of three super-coaches,
"Chet" Wynne, Roger Kiley,
and Sam McAllister, and the greatest
of all football trainers, Wilbur Hut-sell,
the Tigers' Orange and Blue
banner proudly floats at the top of
the mast. The possibility of finishing
the season undefeated sends a feel­ing
up my spine which is hard to de­scribe.
Morgan Blake, of the Atlanta
Journal, j>ays his respects to the
great Tiger eleven: "Who would
have dreamed that Auburn could
have come back so far in three years?
What a tribute to the wonderful
coaching of "Chet" Wynne, Roger
Kiley, and others of the staff. And
to that great, unconquerable Auburn
Spirit!
With all respects to other claim­ants
for the conference championship
we believe in all sincerity that this
Auburn team that humbled Tulane
Saturday is the superior of any in
Dixie, and as good as the best in the
nation." These words from such an
authority as Mr. Blake should make
Auburn followers even more proud of
their football team.
* * *
Captain Jimmie Hitchcock covered
himself with glory. "One of the
greatest backs in Southern gridiron
history," says Morgan Blake. "One
of the greatest backs in the country,"
writes Harry Martinez; "Hitchcock
looked like Beattie Feathers, Johnnie
Cain, and Don Zimmerman rolled into
one," pens Zipp Newman. If there
ever was an all-American, Jimmie
Hitchcock is one. ^For the last three
Saturdays, agaihst Duke, then Tech
and Tulane, he has played all-Ameri-can
football. Twenty-one votes for
James Franklin Hitchcock, Jr., as
Auburn's mighty contribution to the
alKAmerican football team of 1932.
* * * •
Bennie Fenton's ability to fill the
injured Porter Grant's shoes so nobly
Saturday was one of the highlights
of the game. Gump Ariail played
the game of his life. One sports
writer called him "one of the greatest
flankmen in the country" for his out­standing
play against Tulane.
* * *
Auburn continues to lead the en­tire
United States in scoring. To
date the Tigers have run up 181
(down there to take out any Tulan-ians
that might have hoped to stop
Hitchcock), and with Ripper Williams
running the team in'almost faultless
fashion, Tulane's cause seemed en­tirely
lost, when in the second quart­er
Hitchcock broke a 7 to 7 tie by
his 63 yard run for a touchdown.
"Better running backs or better
all-around backs than. Hitchcock
never are seen. They say Casey
Kimbrell is better. If he is, what a
break for Tulane he didn't play!
"But as great as was Hitchcock, his
work didn't outshine the playing of
Gump Ariail, who turned in as good
a performance at end as one could
wish to see on any football field.
". . . Hitchcock was 75 per cent of
Auburn's offense; Ariail was 50 per
cent of its defense."

the Mississippi, Howard, and Florida
game are over, they might as well
award the title of national high scor­er
to the Plainsmen. They won't be
able to find an adding machine to
keep track of the points.

Casey Kimbrell reliquished his
Southern Conference scoring lead to
Johnny Cain of Alabama over the
week-end. Cain has 60 points in 5
games compared to Kimbrell's 58 in
3 games. Jimmie Hitchcock is in
fourth place with 38 points.

The favorite pass combination of
the Auburn-Tulane game seemed to
be from Zimmerman j to Hitchcock.
The Tiger captain intercepted 4 of
Sir Donald's throws, one of which re­sulted
in a touchdown.

Hitchcock carried the ball 11 times
for a total of 99 yards and lost one.

VVTE buy the finest, the
very finest tobaccos
in all the world—but that
does not explain why folks
everywhere regard Lucky
Strike as the mildest ciga­rette.
The fact is, we never
overlook the truth that
"Nature in the Raw is
Seldom Mild"—so these
fine tobaccos, after proper
aging and mellowing, are
then given the benefit of
that Lucky Strike purify­ing
process, described by
the words—"It's toasted".
That's why folks in every
city, town and hamlet say
that duckies are such mild
cigarettes.
