HON. J. THOMAS HEFLIN
An Appeal To Students
AN EDITORIAL
Few Auburn students realise the gravity of the state
issues that are to be referred to the people on July 18.
We feel that students who are interested in the welfare of
the institution should be familiar enough with the facts
about the educational situation in Alabama to be able to
take those facts home to their parents.
On July 18 the electorate will either approve or reject
a warrant-validating amendment, by which approximate­ly
$1,250,000 worth of warrants issued to the institution
during the past two years would become negotiable in­struments
and would bear interest. As the matter now
stands state warrants have no due date, and of course are
worth nothing in the final analysis. The validating of these
warrants would give them a market and investment value.
The fifteen months' salary owed to the faculty would be
placed in local trade circles.
Failure to approve the warrant amendment will mean
virtual repudiation of the state's debts, debts that are just
and binding. The state has a moral, if not legal obligation
to pay.
The credit of the institution is now at low ebb. In Au­burn
the credit of the faculty has suffered gradual extinc­tion.
Several local merchants are now operating on a
strictly cash basis. They cannot be blarned for this self-protection.
Several of them have been on the verge of
bankruptcy for several months.
Many members of the faculty do not have railroad fare
to their homes. And it is no exaggeration to say that the
Red Cross may have to be called on for aid. Families with
food and clothing supplies cut off are destitute indeed.
The administration has assured students that school
will open next year. But without some action by the state
as regards the institution's finances operation of the school
next year will be a most difficult task.
Another question which is deserving .of student atten­tion
is the movement on foot in the state to withdraw state
support from the institutions of higher learning, these
schools to be operated on a strictly tuition basis. Should
such a plan be put into effect many of you would not be
able to return to Auburn next year, due to the exorbitant
tuition fees that would naturally result. This particular
issue has been engendered by and is being sponsored by
the selfish moneyed interests of the state, the same clique
that is fighting the income tax. The object of these inter­ests
is purely avaricious. It is they who would feel the in­come
tax. Their children would be able to attend school
here, regardless of high tuition fees. These interests con­stitute
the selfish division of the wealthy class, and it is all
too plain that they would have a class system of education.
Most of you do not belong to the wealthy class of Ala-bamians.
It is to your interest to point out to your parents
the direction in which your welfare lies.
The Plainsman feels that the time has come for a di­rect
appeal to the student body and hopes that this appeal
will not pass unheeded. The student body is certainly
aware of the gravity of the financial situation in the town
and in the school. If you want to continue your education
at Auburn, if you want Auburn to remain the democratic
institution that it has been for many years, then you will
do everything in your power to defeat the ends of the
moneyed interests, as outlined above. We simply ask that
you place these facts before your parents for consideration.

Y. M. C. A. SPONSORING
CLUB TOUR TO CHICAGO
Enthusiasm is running high through­out
the country regarding the Chi­cago
Exposition. Many people are
planning their vacations to be spent
at the Fair. The spectacular nature
of the Exposition which is world­wide
in scope, makes it a chance in a
life-time to "see the world at a
glance". Parties of friends may easi­ly
plan group trips which will replace
regular summer outings.
The Club Tour idea is proving very
popular with young people. Groups
of boys, young men and mixed groups
will find it both pleasurable and in­expensive
to, see the Fair in this way.
The Birmingham Y. M. C. A. is
sponsoring a series of tours to the
Exposition which will afford groups
an opportunity of a trip at a very
nominal cost.
For further information write
(phone 3-5695) Y. M. C. A., Birming­ham,
Ala.
A graduating class of 236 members
at the Alabama Polytechnic Institute
will receive diplomas from Dean John
J. Wilmore, chairman of the Admini­strative
Committee, at the close of
the 61st Commencement Exercises
Tuesday morning, May 16, in Lang­don
Hall. Including the 21 degrees
awarded at the mid-year commence­ment
and the 100 students expected
to finish in August, the total number
of graduates for the year will be
357.
Degrees and honors will be award­ed
following the baccalaureate ad­dress
by Dr. S. V. Samford, president
of the University of Georgia. The
baccalaureate sermon is to be deliver­ed
by the Rt. Rev. William G. Mc­Dowell
of Birmingham, bishop of the
Episcopal Church, diocese of Ala­bama,
on Sunday morning, May 14,
as the opening feature of the period.
A band concert by the Auburn

PHI LAMBDA GIVEN
NATIONAL CHARTER
Local Chemical Fraternity Re­ceives
National Charter from
Phi Lambda Epsilon
ANNOUNCEMENT
Born, to Mr. and Mrs. Frank
Burney, on April 24, a daughter,
Mary Frances.
That Phi Lambda, local honorary
chemical fraternity is soon to receive
a charter from Phi Lambda Epsilon,
national chemical society, was an­nounced
yesterday by William W.
Beck, president of the local organiza­tion.
The Auburn chapter of Phi Lambda
is to be known as the Alpha Iota
chapter, installation to be held on
May 15.
Professor Roger W. Allen, faculty
member of Phi Lambda Epsilon, will
be the installing officer.
Alpha Iota will be the sixty-seventh
chapter to be taken into the fratern­ity
and the fourth to be installed in
the South.
The purposes of the society are to
recognize and encourage scholarship
in the field of chemistry.
Officers for next year are: William
W. Beck, president; James B. Hill,
vice-president; H. Ray Evers, secre­tary.
Professor H. O. Jones is treasurer
and faculty adviser of the chapter and
has been instrumental in securing the
national charter.
R. O. T. C. STUDENTS'
PAY IS DELAYED
The pay of R. O. T. C. students has
been delayed owing to the necessity
of the finance office at Atlanta ob­taining
a decision from the Comp­troller
General as to the provision of
the economy act, a reduction of 15
per cent in pay, passed recently by
Congress, applying to R. O. T. C. pay.
It will probably be about four weeks
before this can be obtained. As soon
as the money is received checks will
be mailed to the individuals concern­ed.
The address used will be given
in the application for commissions
by the seniors and in forms filled out
for summer camp in the case of
juniors. If any senior or junior de­sires
his check sent to any other ad­dress
he must leave his new address
in the Military Office by Tuesday
noon, May 16.

Swan Song
College editors' swan songs usually drag
themselves out into sentimental longevity.
However, we intend to play the iconoclast
and close our college journalistic career by
merely saying that we have had a highly
amusing time.
By Way Of Summary
"The time lms come", the walrus said,
"To speak of many things
Of shoes and ships and sealing wax
Of Cabbages and Kings".
It seems fitting that we brifly review in
this, the last issue of the 1933 Plainsman,
those student problems which have formed
the subject of our discussions throughout
the year.
- - • - • * • • * * *
An issue about which we have written
many galleys of type is that of student
government. The necessity of student
government is recognizedi The need for
reformation is also apparent. We have
suggested that the class offices be abolish­ed,
the student government be overhauled
and adapted to the needs of the student
body. This would concentrate student ef­fort
in one direction and confer honor where
it is due at the same time. However, inter-,
est in student affairs is at the present mom­ent
at a low ebb, and any action by the
senior class next year in this matter will be
impeded by inertia and indifference.
* * * *
The question of intramural athletics is
one that will have to await the return of a
more favorable financial outlook. The In-terfraternity
Council has instituted several
athletic events that have been greeted with
the approval and interest of the student
body. However, it is to be hoped that these
will be supplemented at some later date by
events which will include non-fraternity as
well as fraternity men.
* * * *
Cheating on examinations is an issue that
no one seems to be able to solve. The logi­cal
provision would be an honor system. But
an honor system would not work unless it
had the almost unanimous support of the
student body and the cooperation of the
faculty.
The present rules and regulations gov­erning
cheating are absurd in their very
inconsistency. It is virtually impossible for
•the faculty to justly punish those caught
cheating, due to the fact that many others
are never caught. The penalty for cheat­ing
is far too severe when compared with
the punishments inflicted for lesser mis­demeanors.
We sincerely hope that the
college will strive for more consistency in
the drafting and enforcement of its regu­lations
next year.
* * * *
The boorishness of some members of the
student body as expressed in the local the­atre
and on trains en route to football
games is an evil that will gradually die out
as the student body as a whole becomes
more civilized.
* * * +
A commendable decline in the age-old
hazing practices has been noted this year,
the freshmen being permitted to do pretty
much as they pleased. We cannot see that
this relaxation has done the new men any
harm, and it is highly probably that they
now appreciate Auburn and the institution
more than some of the other classes that
were spanked and beaten through their
freshman years. .
Four years at Auburn has brought to us
the conviction that it is more of a voca­tional
institution than anything else. The
liberal arts are here, but they are slighted.
They are regarded as unnecessary impedi­ments
by many students. Foreign lan­guages,
history, and English are treated
by many students as stumbling blocks in
the way of graduation. As a matter of
fact, the liberal arts courses are of no lit­tle
importance to the student. Without
them no one can be said to have attained
the semblancB of a liberal education.
* * * *
We have heard several objections from
the student body regarding the subject mat­ter
of some of our editorials, the complaint
being that national affairs have no place
in a college paper. Our answer is that a
college paper should differ from a high
school paper as much as a college man dif­fers
from the fifteen-year-old. After all,
when one spreads oneself about school
spirit, passes on moral axioms for the
benefit of the student body, one merely re­peats
past procedure. College men today
are taking a broader interests in all kinds
of things, as witnessed by school papers
from other parts of the country. And there
is no reason why Auburn's paper should
confine itself to the same old school-boy stuff
that has flourished in other years.
* * * *
At various times during the year we
have discussed at some length the finan­cial
troubles of the institution and have
tried to aid in the campaign for the solu­tion
of those troubles. We have recom­mended
various methods of liquidating of
the state's debts, have favored the income
tax as a necessary measure. The purpose
of all these discussions was to present vital
facts to the student body that its members
may take those facts home for the consid­eration
of their parents. Students can do
a great deal toward securing the passage
of these two measures on July 18.
* * * *
And finally, we must say a word about
the liberality of the college towards the
Plainsman. The administration this year
gave us a free hand to say what we
liked. In view of the censorious nature of
past administrations, we feel that this new
policy is one of intelligence and liberality.
It has been necessary for us to publish
some rather unpleasant facts during the
course of the year, but we cannot see that
any harm has been done. We feel that a
good airing of any student problem will
work for its solution. Although the absence
of censorship might bring down upon the
campus the old journalistic evil of "club­bing",
we believe that most college editors
realize their responsibility and act accord­ingly.
Whatever is false or unjust will
brand itself as such when printed; truth
will always stand unchallenged.
Correct All Rumors
For more than a year local pessimists
have predicted that this institution will
close; from time to time all of us have
heard someone say that Auburn could not
stay open much longer.
About the middle of the 1931-2 session
reports began to circulate that Auburn
would cease to operate shortly, that there
would be no summer school, and that sure­ly
there would be no term in 1932-3.
Although none of the rumors became
fact, the wild sayings continued. They be­gan
to be concerned with the closing at
Christmas time of this year, and then the
limit was extended to the end of the ses­sion.
"No summer school" was the next
forecast.
But the Administrative Committee has
announced that it is proceeding with plans
and preparations for another year, and that
it is confident that 1933-4 will be a splendid
year for Auburn. The summer session will
begin as scheduled.
Students can benefit this institution by
bearing in mind at all times that Auburn
will continue to operate and by discrediting
any rumors contradictory to this fact.
A Forgotten Issue
Whatever has happened to the co-ed's
idea of separation of funds?
Several months ago the whole women
student body became thoroughly excited
over the prospect of having their class dues
put into a separate fund to be used as
they saw fit. The administration was con­sulted,
and it was agreed that it was only
just that the women students should have
jurisdiction over the money they put into
the class fund. Nothing definite was set­tled,
however, and the issue has been al­lowed
to lie forgotten.
The school year is approaching a close.
If anything is to be done, it must be done
immediately. Some definite program of sep­aration
should be gotten up to be present­ed
to the board of trustees when they meet
this summer.
Those who originated the idea must de­cide
immediately what is to be done and
act accordingly. The year must not be al­lowed
to close without this idea having been
carried out. Only a few days remain in
which the women students may prove that
they are capable of carrying out a con­structive
issue.

earth? It fakes time.
When I ride the' black chariot it shall be
raining. And if the sombre buggy bogs
down, I shall want some understanding soul
to laugh at the antics of those "in charge
of arrangements" while they try to get the
spinning wheel on solid ground, and me
to my "final resting place."

The old country doctor had as his claim
to fame his readiness to go out any hour
of the night to cure the sick.
The Auburn bootlegger, if not claiming
fame, has a much harder time. He has to
get up all hours of the night, and combat
the law as well.
We know one bootlegger who sleeps with
his left hand on a pint, his right on a gun,
and with both feet on the floor.

I hear that some of you wooers of the
scarlet sister scandal have a mistaken be­lief
that certain of the bank employees here
work, or have worked with their hats on

May it please you to know that only one
person who works in a bank here owns a
hat, and he doesn't work in it.
A fool and his gossip are soon parted.

Will my most honorable neighbor speak

Note from my year book: Jan. 7th. To­day
the sun came up. It was shaded. There
were shadows. A stillness blanketed the
silent trees. Tonight there was the Kappa
Delta banquet and dance. And the moon
rose, but did not shine. It too was over­shadowed.
I should say everything paled
into insignificance, but that would be so
unlovely trite.
Perhaps it is best that the Kappa Deltas
don't have their up noses turned eat-walt'z
on the Fourth of July. 1776 would be
hardly a memory.
Remember it's all in fun, but I had rath­er
have missed the Auburn-Tech Game.

To the professor who gave me 86: One
good joke recalls another. Listen. A six
months old was talking. He said if he
ever had another chance, he would be a
bottle baby because he was damned tired
of getting cigaret ashes in his eyes.

I had a good laugh quite some time ago.
A sports writer it was. He wrote a story
and said one of Auburn's star track men
was lost to the squad because he was thrown
by his "STEED", Christmas.
I have been wondering what to call that
army hoss I have been riding. That's what
he is, a mean old nasty "STEED".

To you theatre goers: The best acting
of the year was done by Joan Crawford's
show brother Sunday and Monday. I don't
know his name. And the best dialog of the
year was also in that particular show.
That "Good Girl!" of his when he spoke
to her once or twice contained fifty or a
hundred words of meaning.
I like a show like that. The dialog and
the acting put it over. Unlike most shows
where the female star has to undress five
or six times during the run to make the
audience notice the picture.
And to Polly: By chance do you have
an uncle who owns a newspaper? If so I

ACROSS THE CAMPUS

SEVERAL TIMES this year it has been
necessary to correct rumors about Au­burn
closing before the end of the
session. Now we are on the eve of com­mencement,
we have experienced a very
successful year, the college has not, closed,
and we are sanguine about opening another
regular session September 5 and 6.
Furthermore, we are optimistic about the
1933 summer session which will begin on
June 5. Director Zebulon Judd radiates as­surance
and confidence. He has announced
definitely that a splendid faculty will be
on the job and that there are good reasons
for expecting a large attendance.
* * * *
Problems vital to Auburn were discussed
by Dr. L. N. Duncan at a series of class
meetings last Wednesday and Thursday.
Students were asked to swat reports about
Auburn not opening next fall and to coope­rate
in increasing attendance next year.
The majority of Auburn's new students
must come from high school graduates, and
students who are now in Auburn can be
very effective in directing recent high school
graduates to Auburn.
The proposal current in Alabama to the
effect that state support will be withdrawn
from institutions of higher learning was
pictured by Dr. Duncan as undemocratic,
unwise, and detrimental to progress. He de­clared
that such a system would bar from
higher education sons and daughters of
those who are unable to pay high fees which
would be necessary without state support.
Institutions of higher learning, of course,
are vital and necessary to a state system
of public education..
* * * *
The National Student Federation has col­lected
statistics indicating that less than 20
per cent of the 1932 college graduates have
been able to. obtain self-supporting jobs. It
is estimated that not more than 15,000 of
the 140,000 men and women who graduate
from college this spring Will be successful
immediately in finding employment.
These statistics do not look good. They
are gloomy for the present, but for the
future the picture is brighter because these
young men and young women are trained
and capable. They have a broad outlook
on life. They have vision; they possess
courage; they are determined. These are
qualities which will win in the long run.
It is true that under conditions now exist­ing
many worthy and qualified are without
work, but as this colossal economic and so­cial
structure adjusts itself and men and
women attain to the levels for which they
are qualified those who are best trained are
certain to reach the highest levels provided
they are energetic and dependable.
Through the courtesy of Professor R. B.
Draughon, I am permitted to see a report
on "General Education" prepared by a com­mittee
created by an act of the Georgia
Legislature of December 23, 1836. From it
we quote: "The patriot, alive to everything
calculated to elevate and enable the char­acter
of his country, sees in universal edu­cation
the foundation on which may be
reared the proudest and most enduring mon­uments
of her glory and greatness."
To the above is added: "On reference
to the most enlightened and best regulated
government's of Europe we find that they
have all recognized the principles of the ob­ligation
of the government to provide to
some extent for the education of the peo­ple."
The committee recorded the fact that the
leading nations of Europe then were em­phasizing
public education. Scotland, for
example, "so noted for the intelligence and
morality of her population," was furnish­ing
at government expense ample funds for
education except for books, fuel, and inci­dental
expenses. Two and one-half million
of the thirty-two millions of Frenchmen
were enjoying public education. The de­spotic
government of Prussia was support­ing
a system of public schools so effective
that one-seventh of the entire population
was in school each year.
This retrospect of a century enhances in
our minds the value and wisdom of ade­quate
public education. Yet we find that
public education, especially higher educa­tion,
is being questioned today. eYt higher
education is vital and absolutely essential
to an effectve and intelligent system of
public education.
* * * *
John Temple Graves, II, bright and spark­ling
columnist of the Birmingham Age-
Herald, reminds us that eloquence is a men­ace
"when it is not backed with education,
altruism,^perspective, philosophical social
reasoning, and sober vision."
His warning is both timely and true. It
is timely because the world has never been
in greater need than at present for the at­tributes
mentioned by him as necessary
companions to eloquence. Eloquence, as
Mr. Graves reminds us, is as dangerous in
the wrong kind of a character as physical
strength is in the muscles of a man who is
unbalanced mentally.
Mr. Graves paid indeed a high tribute to
intelligent education. History is clear in its
revelation that individuals have succeeded
in proportion to their intelligence and in­tegrity
and determination and courage.
The same is true of groups of individuals
and of nations.
INVICTUS
By Casual Observer
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.
WHEN OBSERVER took upon him­self
the unmoral obligation of pro­ducing
this semi-weekly columnial
outburst he did not realize just how few
Auburn students read the editorial page
of the paper. Observer is not disappointed
for he has accomplished the acquisition of
a style and editorial practice throughout
the year to say nothing of the space he
has filled for the Editor. When the author
took charge of this column the country was
dry; now it is damp. The faculty was still
operating without pay as it is today, stu­dents
were not expected to go to school too
often, and athletes were still numbered
among the privileged class. As far as the
author knows these conditions still exist.
So Observer has not instigated any reac­tionary
measures, has not duplicated the
slightly radical issues of his predecessor,
and in general has done little to warrant the
publication of his column. But he has en­joyed
it, and in enjoying it has learned
much more than he possibly could have
learned in the entire course of his colum­nial
dissipation. All in all, Observer has
had a most enjoyable time of it.
During the final examinations conducted
by the college this year, senior athletes were
not required to take their final examinations
with the rest of the class if they partici­pated
in either baseball or track. The fact
that these two sports are far less contami­nated
by subsidization than football leads
the writer to believe that some period
should be set aside in the future for exam­inations
to be taken by the participants
on the athletic teams of the South. Next
year the spring athletic schedule will be
composed of men who have no chance to
pass their final examinations other than at
a time of duress during the final examina­tions.
Next year perhaps, the scheduling
body will find it necessary to allow the
senior athlete an opportunity to pass his
final examinations free of the entangling
schedules of the underclasses. Such was
the case this year; there is a possibility this
year that several athletically inclined sen­iors
will have no true chance to pass those
courses that they must have to graduate.
* * * *
Two months hence the people of the state
will decide whether the state shall declare
its financial obligations clear. Much has
already been said in defense of the teachers
of the college who have worked for prac­tically
two years without pay; but the fact
that the people of the state must vote upon
so strictly a moral issue is beyond Obser­ver's
ken. In all probability the electorate
will recognize the validity of those debts
which the state has taken upon itself. If
they do this they have acted wisely. If
they do not they have betrayed a trust that
will take generations to reestablish. There
is no denying that the future of Auburn,
both politically and socially rests largely
within that issue.
* * * *
It is calculated that this country, laid
desolate by Shavian anathematization, will
again take up its conquest toward recovery
within the month.
* * * *
Perhaps it seems the logical moment to
call down upon the various institutions
throughout the campus the fralities of their
organization . . . there will be no editorial
come-back after this issue . . . believe that
Observer has moralized too much already
. . . but still believe that college students
should go to college, that there should be
no privileged class, and that one learns
more outside of class than one does in class
. . . that fraternities can be what they are
intended to be but never succeed, that co­education
should be encouraged for the good
of the institution, and that a diploma is
not the culmination of all things noble . . .
that the state and the state legislature are
still thirty-seven steps from intelligent
practicability . . . that education should be
established sincerely within the state . . .
that final examinations and two-hours
courses. are impractical . . . that inflation
will prove to be as successful as prohibition
in Auburn . . . that journalism is not ca­pable
of finding a student here . . . that
one's education is not complete without at
least one summer school . . . that hail and
farewell are conclusive and that this is over
after all.
OUR QUEER LAWS
From the Macon Telegraph
Mme. Rosika Schwimmer is telling this
one: She was refused American citizen­ship,
some time back, because she refused
to bear arms in defense of the country. "On
the same day the court denied me citizen­ship,"
she says, "the same court granted
citizenship to Zangara because he said he
would bear arms—and look what he did
with them."

Maxwell Field had previously won
from the Tigers 5 to 0 and 8 to 7.
Co-captains Lewis Jones and Oel
Johnson were the outstanding Orange
and Blue players. Jones was especi­ally
brilliant with his passes and
team work.
A feature of the game was the
playing of Mrs. Olsmith, of Maxwell
Field, one of the few women players
in the country.
Line-ups:
Auburn (8) Maxwell Field (5)
Fincher (1) McGowan (2)
Jones (1) Beverly (2)

the year, following an election by
the "A" Club last Monday night.
Mason was voted a letter in foot­ball

in this sport since then be­cause
of a shoulder injury. As a reg­ular
on the basketball five last sea­son,
he performed brilliantly. In
baseball, he was awarded All-Dixie

This season he has been
shifted to first base where he has star­red
in practically every game.

frock coats, they had plenty of time to
think things out, and they had sense, too.
They used to sit down on a log and take
the time to whittle their tobacco from a
plug, to be sure of having a cool smoke.
" I n those days, a man named Wellman,
right here in Quincy, 111., made about the
best tobacco you could get. He knew how
to keep the flavor fine and mellow.
"Well, sir, the people who make this

Wellman's method, and they must have

sir, this Granger is the real stuff. The

Wellman used to hand out to his friends.
And it's whittled into big shaggy flakes

call it—'cut rough to smoke cool' is the
