REMODELLING WORK
ON LANGDON HALL
NEARS COMPLETION
New Arrangement To Include
Ball Room, Ladies' Room,
Reading Parlor
CLASSES GIVE MONEY-Ball
Room To Serve As Dance
Hall, Lobby, Lounge, And
Recreation Room
Construction work on the new Stu­dent's
Hall which is being built in
the basement of Langdon Hall is well
under way and is expected to be com­pleted
within the near future.
The new lay-out of the ground floor
of Langdon Hall will furnish an ar­rangement
which includes a ball room,
ladies' room, reading room and Y. M.
C. A. office.
The ball room will provide space
for any fraternity, sorority or club
dances. It will serve as. a lobby,
lounge and recreation room when not
being used for dances. Several ping
pong tables and other devices of rec­reation
will be placed in this room.
The floor space which will be uti­lized
for dancing will be large enough
for any organization to entertain in
this manner, it being seventy-four by
thirty-two feet. The old floor is be­ing
covered with hardwood.
The ladies' room will be furnished
with chairs, sofas, a reading table and
other furniture. A door will lead from
this section to a rest room.
The large reading room will be used
by men students and will be furnish­ed
in the same manner as the ladies1
room.
The Y. M. C. A. office will adjoin
the reading room and will continue to
serve-members of the local "Y".
The formulating of these plans was
made several months ago but it was
found that there were no school funds
available for the construction of the
"Union". Final plans were carried
through when the different classes
voted to appropriate a portion of their
class funds for this week.
Ultimate plans are to center stu­dent
affairs in Langdon Hall.

DELTA SIGMA PI
HAS ANNIVERSARY
Fraternity Entertains With
Theatre Party On Sunday
Night
The Beta Lambda chapter, Sunday
evening, April,9, celebrated the sec­ond
anniversary of its installation in­to
the International Fraternity of
Delta Sigma Pi. The entertainment
was in the form of a theater party.
All members met at the Tiger Drug
Co.- and went in a group from there
to the show at 9 o'clock. After the
show the members returned to the
booths in the back of Tiger Drug Co.
and were served cream, cake, mints,
and smokes. The booths were attrac­tively
decorated to carry out the color
scheme of the fraternity by Bill Ham
who is a senior this year and is a
member of Delta Sigma Pi.
Delta Sigma Pi is the outgrowth of
the local business fraternity, which,
up until 1931 was Beta Alpha Sigma.
Since the chartering of the fraternity
on the campus it has been actively
engaged in fostering interest in the
study of economics and business ad­ministration.
During the past two
years it has had many prominent
speakers come to Auburn and speak
on current economic problems. Delta
Sigma Pi encourages high scholar--
ship each year by giving a scholar­ship
key to the senior in the fratern­ity
who has the highest average for
the four years.

Baseball Team Plays First Home
Game, Meeting Bulldogs Today
Squad Divides Series With Georgia Tech Last Week-end; Mc­Allister
Dissatisfied With Defense; Probable Changes Be
Made In Line-up; May Move Head To Third Base
Auburn's baseball team will open
its 1933 home campaign this week­end,
meeting the University of Geor­gia
nine in a two-game series this
afternoon and tomorrow.
The game this afternoon will start
at 3:30 p. m., while the eontest to­morrow
will get underway an hour
earlier.
Although dividing the series last
week-end with Georgia Tech in At­lanta,
Coach McAllister is dissatisfied
with the defensive showing of his
Tigers and probably will make cer­tain
changes in his regular line-up
for the Georgia games.
• If the Auburn coach can locate a
dependable hurler to take the place of
Red Head, the Plainsmen's second
best pitcher who defeated the Yellow
Jackets in his first varsity game last
Saturday, the Troy product will be
moved to third base and Tommie Kim-brell
will be taken off the hot corner
and shifted back to his former posi­tion
at second base. Kimbrell is a
stellar' keystoner, but has failed to
field satisfactorily' at third base.
Head has a rifle-like throw to the
initial sack and is a good defensive
man. However, unless Truck Talley,
Mugs Erwin, Alvin Payne, or Lefty
Wilcoxson come through on the
mound, it will be impossible for Mc­Allister
to shift him to another posi-tion.
Ripper Williams "is slated to hurl
the first game, xwith Head possibly
the second. Other opening players in­clude
'Lewis, catcher; Mason, first
base; McMahan, second base; Hitch­cock,
shortstop; Kimbrell, third base;
O'Barr, left field; Grant, centerfield;
and Papa Morris, right field.

trailer. Plans for the event are be­ing
laid, the players plan to celebrate
in high fashion.

will command the other battery of
students from the University of Flor­ida.
f
The company of engineers, consist­ing
of students from Auburn and the
universities of Alabama and Tennes­see,

Grower. A small unit of signal corps
students from Georgia Tech will be
in charge of Capt. John J. Downing

The $553.06 which comprise the as­sets
of the Senior Class was appro­priated
by that body to be expended
on individual diploma fees at a me'et-
-ing held yesterday morning at eleven
o'clock.
President Ham called the class to
order and turned the meeting over to
John Fonville, president of the Execu­tive
Cabinet, for the purpose of swear­ing
in the newly elected members of
the Cabinet, Dean John J. Wilmore,
chairman of the Administrative Com­mittee,
swore the new members in,
emphasizing the fact that the student
government was founded on democrat­ic
principles, and expressing the hope
that the students will continue to
follow the ideals of democratic govern­ment.
Following Dean Wilmore's speech,
president Ham stated that the pur­pose
of the meeting was to appropri­ate
the remaining funds in the class
treasury towards some worthwhile
end. He told the class how much
money was in the treasury and the
number of members of the Senior
Class.
Following Ham's request for dis­cussion,
Mr. Millsap secured the floor
and moved that the class members
pay five dollars cash for the diploma
fee, explaining that ten dollars was
too much and that the sum paid for
graduation expenses could be reduced.
Mr. Clarkson offered a second to Mr.
MHlsap's motion.
A call for discussion was sounded,
and Mr. Lapsley stated that college
authorities could not rVduce the di­ploma
fee without action by the board
of trustees.
President Ham said that the ten-dollar
fee was prescribed in the cata­logue
and could not be changed by the
Administrative Committee.
Mr.-Lapsley was again given the
floor, and he remarked that the Ad­ministration
had been both lenient
and sympathetic towards the student
body this year.
Mr. Christopher stated that the col­lege
could cut the fee to five dollars
if it could reduce it to eight.
Mr. Borden said he was willing to
pay eight dollars for a diploma and
felt sure that the rest of the class
concurred.
Mr. Royer changed the subject by
saying that most of the seniors were
planning to leave early and should
get the money back from the laundry.
Mr. Fonville gave a brief summary
of graduation expenses.
Mr. Greer stated that it was to be
the class' graduation, and if it want­ed
an economical one it could have it.
Mr. Millsap stated that the college
could reduce the fee to five dollars
just as well as it could cut it to eight.
Mr. Lapsley remarked that the col­lege
was unable to reduce the fee to
a lower point.

PROMINENT DIVER
BE HERE SATURDAY
Miss Onalene Lawrence, Of
Washington To Give Exhibi­tion
At Meet Saturday
As the featured attraction of the
swimming meet between Georgia and
Auburn Saturday night,' Miss Ona­lene
Lawrence of Washington, D. C,
will'perform on the spring board in a
series of exhibition dives. Miss Law­rence
is one of the nation's foremost
swimmers. Among her laurels are:
the" diving championship of the Dis­trict
of Columbia for the past four
years, South Atlantic championship
in diving, District.of Columbia Cham­pionships
in the breast stroke and
backstroke, and the free style cham­pionship
of the South Atlantic Dis­trict.
Miss Lawrence entered' the
Olympic try-outs last summer and
went to the final competition in her
district.
With additional practice and two
intercollegiate meets with Georgia
Tech to add to their experience, the
Auburn tankmen are expected to be
at their best in the competition with
Georgia. Time trials were held again
this week and some fast times were
rung up. In the fifty yard dash,
Wheeler, with a time of 26:7, Morris,
with a time of 26:9; Foy, with a
time of 26:8 qualified. Bible, LeBar-ron
and McAinley also swam the dis­tance
in good time. Conner again
qualified to swim the 50 yard back­stroke
event with a time of 33:9. Mor­ris-,
LeBarron and Wheeler swam the
100 yard free style event in a little
over 1-2. Wheeler and Conner turn­ed
in good times in the 220. . Conner
also qualified in the 150 yard back­stroke
swim. In the 440, Bible and
Morris had the fastest" time.
Gaillard is still bothered with bad
ears and probably will not swim in
the Georgia meet. LeBarron may not
be in the line-up the question of his
eligibility is cleared up. Poole, the
Tigers' chief hope to win the diving
competition, has recovered from a
slight abcess of the ear and should be
ready for the Georgia spring board ar­tist.
All the rest of the squad are in
good physical condition.
The meet will begin at seven P. M.
and a small admission of fifteen and
twenty-five cents will be charged.

DR. GOFF SPEAKS
TO KIWANIS CLUB
RIFLE TEAM PRESENTS
SABRE TO LT. BOWMAN
A sabre was presented to Lt. Frank
O. Bowman recently by the Auburn
Rifle team in appreciation of his ser­vices
as coach during the last four
years. Lt. Bowman leaves Auburn at
the end of this term, having com­pleted
his allotted time as assistant
professor of military science and tac­tics
at the institution.
Af tar the presentation, election of
leaders for the coming year was held.
J. M. Reynolds was named captain
and M. P. Freret was Tchosen man­ager.
The same two" served as officers
for the past season except that their
positions were reversed.
Speaking to the Auburn Kiwanis
Club Monday, Dr. J. H. Goff of the
department of economics of the Ala­bama
Polytechnic Institute said that
a revision of the tariff is a paramount
need to the improvement of business
in the United States and abroad. He
took the position that such revision
of the tariff is essential to the re­storation
of normal trade between
this country and other countries and
that such trade is essential to good
business at home and abroad.
The speaker said that a very large
percentage of the economists of the
country are agreed that tariff laws
and. regulations must be revised and
expressed hope that President Roose­velt
will give early attention to this,
or make it the first consideration af­ter
emergency domestic problems are
acted upon.
A discussion of the educational sit­uation
was initiated by W. D. Salmon
with several members of the club par­ticipating.
Emil Wright, president of
the club, presided.

Child's Play
During campus elections _ a t Minnesota
last year one of the candidates threw acid
in the ballot box and seriously injured a
nearby voter. Several years ago the ballot
box was stolen at L. S. U. Compared with
these, Auburn's election corruption is mere
child's play. We should rejoice that the
stuffed ballot boxes have been cleared up
and be thankful that our candidates' hench­men's
zeal does not lead them to take more
drastic measures.
Complications of Scottsboro
"This verdict is an act of bigots, spitting
upon the tomb of the immortal Abraham
Lincoln", said counsel for defense Leibo-witz,
upon the rendering of the jury's ver­dict
in the Scottsboro. case. A Harlem
newspaper editor posted a petition asking
President Roosevelt to intervene on the be­half
of the defendants, and in a short while
16,000 Negroes had aflixed their signatures.
The International Labor Denfense has from
tHe outset led the fight for the freedom of
the defendants, and divers other organiza­tions
have propagandized in their behalf.
Governor Miller has received thousands o'f
threats and protests.
That race hatred played a part in the
first trial is doubtless true. But the change
of venue, the selection of a different judge
and jury, the unbiassed conduct of Judge
Horton throughout the retrial leads one to
believe that the new verdict is a just one.
The perjury of Ruby Bates, one of the
women who first charged the Negroes with
rape, indicates that she has probably been
"bought off" or otherwise influenced by
organizations or persons in New York City.
One wonders why the International Labor
Defense and similar organizations in the
North have taken such marked interest in
the trial. This interest was justified in the
first trial, as it was not a fair one. But
there is every reason to believe that the
retrial in Decatur was a fair and impartial
one. And it is hardly fitting for Northern
institutions to continue their propaganda
and vituperation of the South.
No one realizes more than Southerners
that the present race problem is distress­ing
to an extreme. On the whole, the
Southern people have directed far more
kindness than abuse at the Negroes.
There was no race hatred until the close
of the War Between the States and the in­stitution
of carpet-bag governments. The
atrocities committed during the period of
reconstruction by the carpet-baggers, skala-wags,
and their poor ignorant Negro un­derlings
were the direct causes of what
race hatred there is in the South today.
That there is race hatred now no one can
deny. But this hatred is confined to the
ignorant and illiterate class of people in the
South. And there is plenty of illiteracy
and ignorance in the South. The intelli­gent
and cultured Southerners have long
shown the less fortunate blacks an unso­licited
generosity and kindness. They have
given them jobs, food, shelter, medical at­tention,
and a thousand other comforts of
life that they could not have received other­wise.
Southern educators and heads of the
Negro institutions in the South have been
working for a long time towards a solution
of the present race problem; the uncalled
for propaganda, mass meetings, etc., in the
North make the work of these men far
more difficult.
As regards the Scottsboro case, the first
defendant, Heywood Patersoh, has been
definitely proved guilty of rape. And rape
is rape, a crime punishable by death in Ala­bama.
We feel that if the present active
outside influences would cease their medd­ling,
the Negroes would receive justice and
many of their black brothers escape the per­secution
that is likely to result from the
trial. •"
New Oxford Movement
What the Minnesota, Daily so aptly calls
the "Oxford Movement" has quickly spread
from traditional Oxenford to Glasgow,
Leicester, Cambridge, London, Manchester,
and from thence to Victoria University in
Canada and to a number of the greater
American colleges. It all started when the
Oxford Student Union voted nearly two to
one for the resolution that, "This House
will in no circumstances fight for its King
and Country". At Columbia University
196 student's have signed pledges that "un-der
no circumstances" will they fight for
their country. A debate held at North­western
resulted in the audience voting 68
to 17 that they would not "undei* any cir­cumstances
take part in international war
to defend the Constitution of the United
States".
Editorial writers and educators through­out
the country are pooh-poohing this ex­pression
of student sentiment, declaring
that modern youth will quickly fall in line
when the band begins to play at the be­ginning
of the next war. However, this
pacifism on the party of modern youth indi­cates
a post-bellum attitude of mind; the
young man of 1933 is a different creature
from the young man of 1913.
Twenty years ago the young college man
was an idealist with a noble attitude to­wards
life, believing in such doctrines as
the sanctity of marriage, patriotism, the
purity of women, and other such uplifting
credoes. Today he regards marriage as
something of a nuisance, women as human
animals on the same plane as himself, and
his country as the embodiment of a civili­zation
based on anomalies.
The college man of today is an individual
of the post-war generation. It is true that
he still cherishes some ideals; but his faith
in them is tempered with skepticism. .He
has seen the world mock the greatest of
idealists, Woodrow Wilson. He has seen
that life is made up of realities that lie be­yond
control of the human being. He does
not place traditional faith in the country's
bankers and "captains of industry", as his
elders were wont to do. He sees govern­ment
as a huge political machine and not
as a benefit to the individual. Above every­thing
else, he believes in the individual and
not in the herd. He recognizes the fal­lacies
of democracy and communism, and
some day he, will reject both.
It is not surprising then, that modern
youth should condemn war. War is an ex­tremely
objective thing that pays no regard
to the individual; youth would seek the ad­vancement
of the individual. But above
everything else, war is horrible, senseless,
barbaric. It belongs to the age of the
Neanderthal Man.
The recent expression of student senti­ment
on the question of war shows, more­over,
that the mass propaganda methods
employed in other conflicts may meet with
some difficulty in the next war. In demo­cratic
countries like England and America
public opinion is a most powerful entity;
and it's conceivable the modern youth will
think before it swallows the belligerent
propaganda necessary to the promulgation
of war.
However, no one believes that the pacif­i
s t s attitude of a minority of students to­day
will ever prevent a war. On the other,
hand, if the youth of the world show in no
uncertain terms that it will never fight
under any circumstances, leaders in govern­ment
will have to resort to other methods
than war for the settlement of disputes.
This is a state .of affairs devoutly to be
wished, but in the light of the preparedness
doctrinaires the young pacifists stand not
a chance. If, in its present stage of evo­lution,
the human animal is hellbent on
fighting there is very little to be done to
prevent it. However, it would be extreme­ly
wise for the more civilized individuals to
step aside in the event of a conflict, and
let the war be fought by idiots and brutes
rather than by sane and rational beings;

New Students' Hall
The conversion of the basement of Lang-don
Hall into a dance hall and recreation
room for the use of students is one of the
most progressive steps taken in recent years
for the benefit of students.
If present plans are realized Langdon
Hall will begin to assume the atmosphere
of a student union building, the need for
which has long been felt here. No more
will there be squabbles with the "A" Club
over the use of the Gymnasium for dances;
each fraternity will be offered the use of
Langdon Hall for at least one and possibly
two entertainments each year.
We wish to commend those who are re­sponsible
for the work and. for those
classes who contributed the necessary
funds.

So I go to a school where they have to
count the votes twice on election day to
see who is elected. Or rather the second
count was sometime later when a defeated
candidate pulled a Tom Heflin and demand­ed
a re-count of the votes. You might call
such a situation a mess.
And all the posters on the campus during
the election made the place look like Hell
and Wimberly's road house. Putrid Adver­tisements.
Next year I expect to see post­ers
such as these:
"Vote for Half-Back, his likker kicks
worser. Vote for Fraternity Man, and see
the show today."

When a dog bites a marl, that is fun.
When a man bites a dog, that is news. And
damfoolishness. When a man gives a girl
his fraternity pin that is fun, but when a
girl advertises the fact and boasts about
it, and claims she is after adding to her
collection, that is lousy doings.
How many of you South Alabamians ever
heard of Shorter College at Rome, Ga.? Did
I ever hear of it? No. They have no foot­ball
team. Why should I hear of it? But,
you might say, they bitten the dog, and
from Rome comes some news. They are
openly advertising the fact that they are
almost ready to start a pawn shop with
fraternity pins as the goods?. Very nice I
suppose, but also just like a dam-fool girl;
they never-want to let good enough alone.
I was just after going over our editor's
"Smokehouse" when I saw this "slick"
paper from Rome. I find that they have 24
fraternity pins over there and they are
boasting about it. How irregular that is;
you never heard of the boy's schools boast­ing
of the number of girl's unmentionables-they
had tacked up on the walls. Which is
also irregular and not exactly nice, but what
I mean to say is this: I hate boasting in
anyone.
They say they have two A. T. O. pins
from Tech and one from Emory. They
have two Sigma Nu pins from Georgia, and
one from Mercer. They have one S. P. E.
pin from Tech. One Kappa Sig pin from
Tech, and one from L} S. U. One S. A. E.
pin from Tech and (Allah preserve us!)
one from Auburn. They have a K. A. pin
from Sewanee, and a Phi Delta Theta pin
from Georgia."
And they have a bunch of pins from fra­ternities
who haven't chapters on the Au­burn
campus.
May I add: A fool and his fraternity
pin are soon parted.
And they end their long list of "Trophies"
with: "More power to you, Shorter, may
this number be ever increasinat . ^

The moon rose over the First National
Bank Wednesday night like a bloated thing,
and followed the rifts in the sombre clouds
like a shark following a fisherman's boat
in the hope of an arm or a leg. And cast a
tarnished light through immature green
leaves. A moon up town seems as out of
place as a china shop in a bull pen.
; It shone in streamers through clouds and
leaves on drunk people, on the weary, hope­ful,
deserving, and plain fools, much in the
same way as it shone on Anthony as he
took his Saturday Night shave before go- \
ing to see Cleo. *
It shone on King Soloman, Shakespere,
Caesar, years before we brought our hopes
and cares into the world. And now such
sights it must face. No wonder, there are
wrinkles and a frown upon its bright sur­face.
And you co-eds and fraternity men dare
to "neck" under a moon that saw a christian
kiss his sweetheart good-bye before he be­came
a flaming torch to brighten a Roman
orgy.
Such a moon makes me thoughtful. What
am I? What are you? A mere snap of a
child's fingers. 'A few years under a sky
of stars and a few dreams under a sum­mer's
moon, and we are gone, others to
take our places and make the same mis­takes,
and suffer the same unattainable
hopes.
Think, you people, what are you doing
here?

What with a reality of tomato sand­wiches,

FROM TIME immemorial man. has
sought relief from the cares of life
through diversions. Therefore, it is
quite natural that there should be built up
in the world about us an elaborate system
of recreational facilities through which we
may forget our hardships and troubles in
amusement, entertainment, and relaxation.
It is under such a classification as this that
we find one of the outstanding elements of
Auburn life.
The hub of the various recreational ac­tivities
on the campus centers around the
Alumni gymnasium, situated in a central
location, and adjacent to the athletic fields.
It is here that the swimming pool is locat­ed,
in which the swimming team practices.
The gymnasium also contains a basketball
court for the use -of lovers of that sport.
At nights the floor is used for dancing pur­poses.
The gymnasium is excellently equipped
for a limited number; yet it is far too small
to take care of the many candidates who
report each year for the various teams.
The athletic fields of Auburn number but
two, baseball and football. The freshman
baseball team is forced to use the diamond
of the old high school across town for their
practice sessions. The football, squad is
too cramped for space during the playing
season. At least two more athletic fields
should be added to our system.
The- R. O. T. C. department of the col­lege
sponsors several forms of activities in
the form of polo, pistol shooting, rifle shoot­ing,
and horse-back riding. Hundreds of
students have taken advantage of these
opportunities, and. they may be seen daily
in the participation of their favorite sport.
Perhaps the most popular sport partici­pated'in
by the students of Auburn is ten­nis.
Play is afforded by the many courts
throughout town. But here again the old
element of inadequate room comes up. Sev­eral
courts, notably the ones operated by
the Y. M. C. A., have been allowed to fall
into a state of neglect. With very little
money and effort these courts could be put
into playing condition, and help relieve the
congestion which arises each afternoon for
lack of playground space.
Golf claims a large percentage of the
students. The Auburn Country Club has
special rates for members of the student
body, and many flock to the fairways each
afternoon.
Since the abolition of intra-mural sports
here three years ago the various tourna­ments
sponsored by several of the leading
campus organizations, including the Inter-fraternity
Council, Blue Key, Omicron Del­ta
Kappa, and Spiked Shoe, have done
much to afford additional recreational in­terest
in Auburn. The basketball tourna­ment,
indoor baseball, track, tennis, and
golf tournaments have" been entered by
practically all the fraternities on the cam­pus.
The Y. M. C. A. provides a reading room
where all the latest papers, and leading
magazines are available. Three ping-pong
tables are also maintained by the organiza­tion
which may be used by the students at
all times.
The college library forms an important
recreational part in the life of Auburn.
Many go there to pass away leisure hours in
profitable reading.
The Tiger Theatre, built in 1929, serves
not only Auburn, but East Alabam» as
well. It is one of the best show houses in
the state, and includes a vaudeville in its
program each week.
The Auburn Amusement and Recreation
Room, more commonly known as the billiard
and pool parlor, is maintained under the
direction of the American Legion. Many
students pass away their spare time in
participating in one of these forms of di­version.
Irk'general, Auburn's recreational facili­ties
are large, and, as almost every under­graduate
of the college finds some diversion
in at least one of the activities mentioned
above, they form an important part in the
life of the Auburn student.

* * * * WITH A view to increasing student
enrollment at Auburn next year
those students who are here now
are requested again to present names and
addresses of prospective students who are
now qualified to enter college. We would
like to write them and send them a cata­log.
We hope that you too will write them
or see them.
We realize that economic conditions are
now such as to bar many worthy students
from college until these conditions are im­proved

Polo is a better game than is revealed
by the number of Auburn people who are
interested in it. It is a clean sport, it is
spectacular, and it has a satisfying thrill.
And Lieut. Gunby has done a very cred­itable
job of coaching the Auburn team
with the assistance of Streeter Wiatt. This
was revealed by the game Wednesday after­noon

Back To 2 Cents
Postmaster-General Farley is said to be
at the point of reducing postage for local
mail from the 3-cent rate to the old 2-cent
rate.
For this promise of a departure from the
theories of the new economic era thanks
are due. That period held firmly to the
idea that when people are poverty stricken
and business declines the proper procedure
is an increase in rates to bolster declining
revenues. And it never seemed to lose its
capacity for astonishment when it discov­ered
that higher rates made it all the more
impossible for poverty-stricken people to
create a volume of business. Our United
Railways furnishes a shining example of
both the procedure and the astonishment.
Mr. Farley, it appears, is. ready and will­ing
to try out a reversal of the procedure,
at least so far as local postage rates are
concerned. We believe, upcm further con­sideration
of the problem, Mr. Farley will
be persuaded that lower postal rates gen­erally!
will increase rather than decrease
revenues, since they will stimulate use of
the mails.—Baltimore Evening Sun.

A reminder about final examinations is
in order for they are approaching and near
at hand. Seniors will begin their final ex­aminations
at 2 p. m., Thursday, May 4.
Underclassmen will begin Wednesday, May
17, or the day following graduation of
seniors.
It is hoped, of course, that all students
have been diligent in their studies, thereby
making it unnecessary for overcraming on
the eve of and during examinations. This,
we believe^ is a much better way to gain
knowledge that makes a more permanent
impression on the mental system and is
carried by the individual for use whenever
and wherever needed.
But, for these and for all others, addi­tional
study will be needed from now until
examinations. Those who are in low gear
certainly should step up to intermediate,
;hose in intermediate to high, and those in
high are expected to continue at this speed.

The Auburn .campus is very beautiful.
Trees, shrubbery, flowers, grass, and clover,
are a joy and a delight.
But the walks are not so much . In fact,
the Auburn campus system of walks is far
ffom developed. It is more a system of
paths made by pedestrianst many of whom
disregard walks and cross the campus
wherever they feel a personal urge or as
appears convenient.
We realize that many more walks are
needed but the method by which they are
now being made is an-inferior method. We
hope, therefore, that each one will keep this
in mind and follow as closely as feasible
established walks rather than paths made
by the haphazard careless method. "

Some things can not pass by without
recognition, so it might not be amiss to
pass on to you a noble bit of editorial
snitched from the grandmother of them all,
The Montgomery Advertiser. Just in case
you haven't read it: "Thomas Knight, Jr.,
the youthful Attorney General of Alabama,
faced two cotton mill girls as they sat in a
room of a Birmingham hotel.
The man's dark eyes searched the faces
of Victoria Price and Ruby Bates, as he
added: "I don't want to send those Ne­groes
to the chair on perjured testimony.
. . . I don't want to have those seven
Negroes flying over my bed at night when
I go to sleep!"
The only thing that editorial tid-bit needs
to complete the melodrammer supreme is
a slight dash of gray and a detailed account
of three desperate figures in the process of
taking down their hair, for a good cry as
the picture fades into oblivion. Besides, no
one is suposed to confuse human beings
with pink elephants. '
Precedent has made it almost impos­sible
to consider any stands other than the
extremes when the racial question is
brought up in Alabama, or in the majority
of the. southern states for that matter.
Justice may have dropped the blind-fold in
the current issue, but the ghost in Ala­bama's
judicial closet will make justice in
reality difficult to conceive.

In September of last year the Advertiser
devoted nearly a column of editorial space
to deplore the barbarous caste system in
India, and yet that' paper contends that the

to allow the sovereign state of Alabama
make its own decisions. Come on Dan Bax­ter,

A senior class has at last decided upon a
definite objective. Two for four is a rea­sonable
proposition. But we shall not men­tion,
"for value received."
And while on the subject, the author
would like to have a picture drawn with
sufficient footnotes by way of explanation
in regard to the final- dances. As is gen­erally
understood, the opening dances are
known as the Sophomore Hop, the mid-term
as the Junior Prom and the finals as the
Senior Finals. The respective class presi­dents
lead the first and second dance series.
The finals this year it seems are to be-led
by a member of the Social Committee, sanc­tioned
by a body ineligible and incapable
of such action. If such be the case it would
seem an excellent plan to change the name
of the final dances to the Social Committee
Dances and allow the seniors an opportuni­ty
to rest between the examination period
and commencement.

X hat's a very simple question to answer.
The stem in a tobacco leaf, like the stem
in most other plants, is "woody". It hasn't
any of the flavor or the aroma that you
want when you smoke. And it doesn't
burn right.
So after tobacco has been properly aged,
one of the first things to do is to remove
the stems. »
But what has this to do with your enjoy­ment
of Chesterfield cigarettes? Just this.
It means that we start right when we make
Chesterfield—the right kind of leaf with
the stem removed, the right manufacture
— everything that science knows that can
make CHESTERFIELD a milder cigarette, a
cigarette that tastes better.
That's why people say "They Satisfy."

Mr. Clarkson suggested that the
proposal be taken to the committee
and an itemized budget of graduation
expenses be secured.
Mr. Stayton emphasized that the
diploma fee is strictly a college fee,
operating on the same principle as:
the tuition fee.
Mr. Stickle remarked that tuition
fees were something of a necessity and
that the diploma fee was a luxury.
At this point the president was
bombarded with crys of "Let's vote!"
President Ham explained the mo­tion,
which the house voted down by
a healthy majority.
Mr. Curtis moved that the class ac­cept
the proposition of the college
and contribute two dollars towards
the reduction of the diploma fee, with
the proviso that the college match this
with an equal amount.
Mr. Cameron got the floor and said,
