GRAND MARCH TONIGHT
Tea Dance This Afternoon
Ushers in Social Season on
Campus
The annual sophomore hop swings
into its colorful opening this after­noon
with a team dance from four
to six, nearly a hundred beautiful
visitors lending their beauty to the
event. George Quinney, prominent
sophomore, who is leading the dance
with Miss Johnnie Yarbrough, will
head the grand march at tonight's
dance in company with the major
portion of the Auburn student body.
Foremost in the attention of the
social group who will attend the
dances, is the local orchestra, the Au­burn
Knights, selected to play for the
dances over a large number of out­side
orchestras. Promising excel­lent
music for the dance that seems
to be one of the most popular ever
held in this school, this increasingly
prominent student orchestra will be
the focus of all eyes at their first
major engagement.
The girls are being housed by the
Kappa Alpha, the Beta Kappa and
the Theta Kappa Nu's, who turned
their houses over to the lovely ar­riving
visitors at noon today.
Following the R. 0. T. C. review
tomorrow morning at eleven o'clock,
the dances will begin with the morn­ing
dance sponsored by a local so­ciety,
the Black Shirts. The after­noon
dance will be sponsored in like
manner by the Blue Key's. The
final dance will hold the attention of
the entire campus tomorrow night,
with the final results of the football
game at New Orleans to perhaps pro­vide
the maximum gaiety ever
achieved at an Auburn dance.
Committee Corrects
Rumors Concerning
Closing of School
Talk seems to be rather current in
Auburn that the Alabama Polytech­nic
Institute will not be able to ope­rate
after the current semester. This,
unfortunately, is a subject about
which there is a lot of discussion.
It is, in our opinion, exceedingly
unfortunate that such discussion
should occur. It is disturbing and
harmful. It is absurd to talk about
Auburn closing.
We admit that the original joint
committee bill was so drastic as to
be fatal to Auburn and to other insti­tutions
of higher learning in its ope­ration,
but we have never believed
that the legislature of Alabama
would enact such a law.
We now have assurance that it will
not be done. This bill has been killed
dead and in lieu thereof the commit­tee
which prepared it is sponsoring a
substitute bill which contains suffici­ent
appropriations for the institutions
of hgher learning to operate.
Auburn has a great and glorious
past and we are determined to build

BIBLE CLASS WILL
HEAR JUDGE JONES
Prominent Montgomery Jurist
Accepts Invitation to Speak
to Young Baptists
Judge Walter B. Jones of Mont­gomery,
is to be the speaker at the
Men's Bible Class of the Baptist
Church on. Sunday, morning at 9:45
a. m. Judge Jones is one of Ala­bama's
most prominent citizens and
officials of the class state that they
have been exceedingly fortunate in
securing Judge Jones as one of the
speakers on their program.
Judge Jones is an Auburn man,
having been a student here in 1906-
1907. He took his law degree from
the University of Alabama and was
admitted to the bar before he had
reached the age of twenty-one. His
father was governor of Alabama dur­ing
the period 1890-94.
Since 1920 Judge Jones has been
judge of the Fifteenth Judicial Cir­cuit
in Alabama. He is also Eminent
Supreme Archon of the Sigma Alpha
Epsilon Fraternity in which office he
serves the fraternity with unusual
interest and fidelity.
Clint Bonner in a recent issue of
the Birmingham News says, "A most
admirable characteristic of Mr. Jones
is that he displays a willingness to
help young students in becoming law­yers;
in 1928 founding the Jones
Law School and taught in his office
without any charge whatever . . .
Nineteen years ago he founded the

Auburn Knights to Play; John
Farris Receives Decorations
Contract
The senior honorary societies, un­der
the auspices of Blue Key, are
completing plans for a Christmas
banquet and dance to be given Fri­day
night, December 9th.
The plan is an entirely new one,
and it is hoped that it will be a year­ly
event in the future. Not only will
it provide an important addition to
the present social calendar, but it
will also serve to bring the societies
in closer contact with one another
and thereby further their activities.
The banquet is to take place at the
Baptist Church in Auburn. It is ex­pected
that one hundred couples will
enjoy the supper there and hear, in
addition, an exceptional program. The
sponsors hope to make the banquet
different than any other ever given
in Auburn, according to Calvin
Black, secretary of Blue Key, who
is acting-chairman of the merged
group.
The dance will be given in the gym­nasium
following the banquet. Music
will be furnished by the increasingly
popular Auburn Knights, and the
decorations will carry out the spirit
of- Christmas. Johnny Farris has
been given the contract for the deco­rations.
Admission to the dance will be
free for all members of the societies
in the group, and a very nominal fee
will be charged for the banquet. It
is hoped that the tickets for the ban­quet
and bids for the dance will be
ready for distribution in the coming
two weeks.

DISTRICT GOVERNOR BLAIR
VISITS LOCAL ROTARY CLUB
District Governor Algernon Blair,
was a visitor to 'the Auburn Club at
their regular luncheon Thursday, de­livered
a most interesting speech on
Rotary, its aims and workings. The
members were told about the coming
International Convention to be held
in Boston, June 28 and the District
Conference in Mobile in March. Mr.
Blair said that all representatives
would especially enjoy the confer­ence
in Mobile since it came when
the beautiful zahlias were in bloom
and the fellowship, fun and inspira­tion
derived would be worth the time.
Over 500 members are expected to
attend.
In a brief outline of the machinery
of Rotary, the Governor stated that
organization enjoyed over 155,000
membership, 68 countries were rep­resented,
and 3,500 clubs made up
the International unit. He stressed
the fact that each club had work to
do in the community and it must be
done.
"The primary aim of Rotary is to
inspire men to achieve the objects of
Rotary," said Mr. Blair. "Men get
inspiration out of Rotary every­where,"
he continued. In likening
the Bible to Rotary, he said that the
15th Psalm was a fine definition of a
gentleman and service and that the
clubs should apply the "Golden Rule"
in its workings.
"We must give our service, it
counts far more than money," ex­plained
the speaker. He emphasized
the fact that before one knew an
individual he had to know his char­acter,
and that a man with a staunch
character would make the grade. In
closing, he said that Rotarians must
make their club the kind that can be
judged as men are, by their charac­ter.
The attendance was 100 percent
and several visitors were also present.
Capt. Ott, club president, introduced
Dr. Donald C. McGuire, of the Mont­gomery
club and pastor of the First
Presbyterian Church, to the members.
Baby Tigers Meet
Bullpups Saturday
Over Two Teams of Rats
Journey to Athens for First
Conference Engagement
News of a more optimistic nature
concerning the legislative situation
at Montgomery reached Auburn Fri­day
morning from Dr. L. N. Duncan,
who is representing this institution
there. Dr. Duncan said that the origi­nal
bill introduced m the senate by
the joint committee on appropriations
had been killed and a substitute bill
embodying the educational appropria­tions
of the bill introduced in the
house by Representative R. J. Goode
were inserted in this substitute bill.
The original joint committee bill
would have reduced the appropriations
to the Alabama Polytechnic Institute
and to other institutions of higher
learning by seventy-five percent or,
perhaps, more. Before it was formally
presented to the Senate, leaders in
education and agriculture throughout
the state were active in opposition to
it because its enactment into law
would have been almost fatal.
With the backing of the educational
forces and the cooperation of the ag­ricultural
people aolng with other
friends of the Goode bill was consider­ed
Friday in the House. Dr. Duncan
expressed the hope that the House
vote would be favorable. The Senate
vote is still in doubt.
This bill reduces by thirty per cent
the appropriations to all educational
institutions in the state except the
public, elementary and high schools
which are reduced ten per cent.
The total annual appropriation to
the Alabama Polytechnic Institute for
all departments and all divisions of
work would be, under the Goode Bill,
$551,849.05, plus interest on the en­dowment
fund amounting annually to
$20,280.00.
A companion bill introduced by Mr.
Goode proposes to validate outstand­ing
warrants by recalling them and
issuing in lieu thereof interest- bear­ing
warrants with date of payment

News Flashes
From Abroad
New York.—following a "cele­bration"
luncheon held here today
John J. Raskob, former chairman of
the Democratic National Committee,
contributed $25,000 to the Demo­cratic
campaign fund.
Beginning at 2:30 next Thursday
afternoon with a parade through
town to be led by the band, the Ag
Fair will be the best ever staged.
The parade will be featured by a
number of floats, depicting both the
serious and the humorous side of Ag
Hill.
Then, at 7 o'clock, the midway will
open on Ag Hill. There will be a
number of side show attractions on
the midway this year, as well as the
usual games of chance, and it is cer­tain
that anyone who visits these
attractions will receive their money's
worth of fun.
Promptly at 8 o'clock the main
show will begin with Professor Guy-ton,
of the Entomology department
acting as Master of Ceremonies. The
program will consist of bull riding;
wheelbarrow polo; the catching of a
greased pig by the pledges of Block
and Bridle, national honorary Ag
fraternity; the crowning of the
Queen of the Harvest; climbing a
greased pole; a shoe race between
the freshmen; a battle royal between
five husky negroes, an act put on by
the faculty members, and other acts
put on by the various schools.
The program has been designed to
furnish a maximum amount of laugh­ter
in a minimum amount of time,
and indications are that the results
will be one long, long howl of merri­ment.
Tickets will go on sale with­in
the next few days at a price of
only fifteen cents each. They may
be obtained from J. C. Odom, Sam
Norris, Appleton, and Sanders.
Students of all schools of the col­lege
are urged to attend this, the pre­mier
fun attraction of the year.

PROF. JONES GIVES LECTURE
AT RELATIONS CLUB MEETING
With the cheers of the entire stu­dent
body ringing in their ears, the
Auburn football team departed for
New Orleans last night where they
will meet the champion Tulane Green
Wave tomorrow afternoon.
The entire squad is in excellent
condition with the exception of Casey
Kimbrell who will be out indefinitely
as a result of a severe case of influ­enza
contracted during the Georgia
Tech game.
The Auburn-Tulane setto tomorrow
will be the outstanding game of the
day in Dixie. Championship honors
for both teams will be at stake. A
victory for the Plainsmen would prac­tically
cinch the Southern Confer­ence
crown for Auburn, in the event
Vandy defeats Tennessee.
Auburn faces a team tomorrow
which hasn't tasted a Southern Con­ference
defeat since Georgia Tech
4)eat the Green Wave back in 1928.
Tulane will go into the Auburn game
with a record of 32 victories, two
inter-sectional losses, and two ties
with Southern Conference teams.
Auburn's chances against the
Greenies are considered bright de­spite
the loss of Kimbrell. If the
game is played on a dry field tomor­row
Auburn's flashy backs will be
hard to stop.
Tulane's mighty offense is built
around the Flying Dutchman, Don
Zimmerman, all-Southern halfback of
last year and a leading candidate for
ail-American this season. Pat Rich-

Indianapolis, Ind.—A great ova­tion

Kingston, Ontario.—Troops were
called out to quell a prison riot of
no mean proportions in Portsmouth
Penitentiary yesterday. Prisoners
manned one corner of the yard under
threat of machine guns by the guards.
Shortly after 9 p. m. comparative
quiet was restored. The Royal Ca­nadian
Horse Artillery from King­ston
figured in the restoration of or­der
in the prison.
Slides depicting life in Mexico's
capital featured the regular meeting
of the International Relations Club
this week. Mrs. Herman Jones pre­sented
a group of pictures which she
and Prof. Jones made during a two
years' stay in Mexico. Among the
scenes shown were the Bridge of
Cortez, views of the famous vol­canoes
Popocatepetl and Ixtacchiuatl,
numerous street scenes, views taken
of the Morrow estate at Cuernavaca
and a "street car" propelled by two
small burros.
Among the misconceptions that
Americans have of Mexico, accord­ing
to Mrs. Jones, are the ideas that
all of Mexico is hot and that one can
live cheaply in Mexico City. The
high altitude is responsible for a
cool temperature in Mexico City and
the food necessities of Americans is
responsible for the high cost of liv­ing.
For amusement the Mexicans in
Mexico City attend bull fights, play
fronton, polo, golf and attend the
opera. The national drink is pulque
which corresponds to beer in the
United States. Mrs. Jones stated
that the Mexicans of the upper class
drank in moderation and that she
did not see a "drunk" during her
whole stay—except Americans who
go down to. "celebrate." Drunken­ness
among the lower classes is quite
common, however.
While in Mexico City, Prof, and
Mrs. Jones were guests of the Ameri­can
Naval Attache and wife at the
home of the late Ambassador Morrow
in Cuernavaca. Cuernavaca, Mrs.
Jones said, is a very quaint place.
In it the Ambassadors have their ex­tra-
official residences.
Freshmen To Elect

Kirtley Brown, of the Department
of Public Information will announce
the game, and several sports writers
will give summaries at the half.
The Auburn Band, which is not
being sent to New Orleans this year,
will be present throughout the pro­gram
and will render several selec­tions
at various points in the broad­cast.

GOODE BILL
The Goode Substitute Appropri­ations
Bill, introduced "To make ap­propriations
for the ordinary ex­penses
of the Executive, Legislative,
and Judicial departments of the
State, for interest on the public debt
and for the public schools, annual­ly,
for the fiscal years ending the
thirtieth day of September, 1933,
1934, and 1935" is being discussed
in the State Legislature this week.
The appropriations for the Ala­bama
Polytechnic Institute read as
follows:
Experimental Fields,
(Acts 1927, p. 473) $ 16,800.00
Summer School Fund
(Ala. School Code).. 3,500.00
M a i n t e n a n c e Fund
Acts 1919, p. 796).... 31,500.00
Animal H u s b a n d ry
• (Acts 1919, p. 796).... 8,750.00
Investigation and Agr.
(Acts 1919, p. 797).. 5,250.00
Extension Service (Acts
1920) 113,750.00
Boll Weevil C o n t r o l
(Acts 1911) 18,900.00
Fund in lieu of Fertili­zer
Tag Tax (Acts
1927, p. 796) 60,900.00
Sub-Agr. Experimental
Stations (Acts 1927,
page 476) 43,750.00
M a i n t e n a n c e Fund
(Acts 1927, p. 447).. 248,749.05
Total for Alabama Poly­technic
Institute $551,849.05
With the passage of this bill by
the Legislature and the bond issue
by the people the Alabama Poly­technic
Institute would be greatly
improved from a financial point of
view.
The joint committee appropri­ations
bill, as it was introduced in
its original form, specified $202,000
for the Alabama Polytechnic Insti­tute,
with public schools having a
preferred claim on this appropri­ation.
It is needless to say that this
bill would be suicidal for Auburn, if
it were passed. Although the Goode
bill indicates an approximate reduc­tion
of thirty per cent in appropri­ations,
the school could operate on
the money designated therein;
the new joint committee substitute
bill would appropriate approxi­mately
the same amount for Au­burn
as the Goode bill, but the lat­ter
is favored by educational forces.
It is our sincere belief that the
Goode bill is the only intelligent
means at the command of the Legis­lature
for the maintenance of the
school here.
AN EDITORIAL
As we have already taken care to point
out, it is of the utmost importance that
students have their pictures taken for the
Glomerata. The annual is a record of a
year of student activity and student life;
unless the entire student body is included
in this record it cannot be said to be com­plete.
In the matter of panels in the Glomerata,
we do not recall having seen anything quite
as unimpressive as an organization's page
in the annual containing some four or five
members' pictures.
Upon registration each student has to
pay a certain sum towards the support of
the Glomerata, and from this we infer that
each students wants to have his share in the
year book; but if one does not have his
picture made his part in the annual is in­deed
small.
ANOTHER EDITORIAL
Even though this week-end marks one of
the three outstanding social events of the
year, let there be no thought that campus
life stagnates except during the dances.
They are the beginning, the climax and the
ending of each year's social activity. Yet
for it to be an entirety there must be a
body on which to base the whole. This
body is supplied by the activities of the
various social organizations throughout the
year.
Sororities, fraternities and other socially
minded groups on the campus are the main­stays
of diversion and entertainment during
the school year. A week-end rarely passes
without some function being given. Those
who start "thumbing" as soon as possible
on Friday's are missing the chances for
new friendships that college affords. By
entering into the campus affairs and getting
acquainted with the people in school the
wander lust of many students could be
cured.
Auburn has a reputation for giving en­joyable
sets of dances for the reason that
social life here is carried on each week. If
we only played three times a year, we
would forget how in the intervals of bore­dom.
Many have the idea that the major
dances are the only ones worth attending.
They are wrong. Granted that they are
three of the most important events of the
year, there is no reason for social hiberna­tion
and week-end hegiras during the time
that stretches between these auspicious oc-
FORENSIC TOURNEY
The recently announced debating tourna­ment
sponsored by Alpha Phi Epsilon
should considerably stimulate the interest
of an apathetic campus in forensic activi­ties.
The leading colleges and universities
in the country have debating teams of no
mean ability; and it would surprise the
average Auburn student should he learn
how interested the students at the schools
are in debating.
We feel sure that this society has taken
a forward step in this particular field of
work and hope that the students will give
their hearty cooperation and support to this
most worthwhile object.
CAN'T WE DO LIKEWISE?
An apathetic attitude toward hazing
that became more apparent every year
facilitated its abolition by the Executive
Committee in one of the truly forward-moving
examples of student legislation in
the last few years.
Vestiges of the old practices have sur­vived,
however, not on the campus itself,
but in fraternities. A large proportion
of the national organizations have rulings
against "hell week" and "tubbing." But
in some houses these methods of initiation
and discipline are still used. Yet in fra­ternities
that have thrown off the
shackles of the past, other ways of con­trolling
underclassmen and others means
of bringing them to a realization of the
importance of the fraternity have been
just as effective.
Now that hazing has been successfully
prohibited on the campus, it is time that
high-school tactics were removed from fra­ternity
life.—Sou. Cal. Trojan.
INVICTUS
By Casual Observer
WITH FEET OF CLAY
Faith in Big Business lately seems to
have received quite a jolt. The dramatic
debacle of the Kreuger financial "empire"
a few months back and the recent crash of
the Insull interests amounts more or less
to a revolution: A revolution in the minds
of the man in the street.
One of the attributes of the American
public mind during the last thirty or forty
years has been placed over the heads of our
so-called financial wizards—nabobs—mag­nates—
and continued to grow in its daz­zling
brilliance in the lusty years of the
'20's. It becomes the fashion to deride the
government official in contrast to the inde­pendent
business man and to emphasize the
dishonest and self-seeking pettiness of the
former. Laissez faire in America became
part of the average man's religion: "as
soon think of public ownership as worship­ing
Siva;" "Leave it to private enterprise;"
"Rugged Individualism;" Devil take the
hindmost;" were the watchwords of the
boom times. And so it went, with America
rolling merrily along in the face of world­wide
post war depression—electing rugged
individualists, men whose economic philoso­phy
was to everything run the way it would.
An obvious reaction was the result. The
false super-structure of American prosperi­ty
collapsed. A dazed expression of disbe­lief

* * * *
AN EDITORIAL appearing in one of
the leading college papers in the
South last year led the writer to the
conclusion that traditional animosity with­out
the necessary ingredients of sportsman­ship
and mental maturity was nothing short
of deteriorating imbicility. The editorial
contained words made bitter from what
once must have been a clean and hard
fought rivalry. Now, both the accuser and
the accused have met on a plane of vitrolic
bickering. Hurling childrish accusations
against one another they had descended
from the maturer type of editorializing to a
type that would not be at all representa­tive
of a high school editor laboring be­neath
the pall of an attack upon the school
across town.
Tradition can be placed upon only one
level and still remain tradition. Without
the finer qualities it can not attain the
heights. Triumph has been too often spoil­ed
by the after-taste of a poor loser or a
poor winner. There are very few schools
that engage in intercollegiate athletics that
do not claim at least one traditional rival.
Few have succeeded in holding to an even
keel and have met their enemy on a basis
of equality and sportsmanship. Always,
there is the untempered rivalry which
knows no limit of persecution in victory,
and no depth of retaliation and hate in de­feat;
the mob spirit prevails and from this
there issues the greatest argument against
intercollegiate competition. Reverting to
the most primitive of instincts, the mob
cries for blood from year to year and exists
from one year to the next on the success
of former years.
To deplore a situation may enlist num­erous
inactive followers, to denounce, brings
but derision and added turmoil, but to
brand a condition as rotten from the very
core, will usually find a reaction from all
sides and a slight chance that in the future
there may be some hope of revival. A re­vival
of the cleaner and more decent rival­ries
will find few reformers along the way
to tangle its passage; there is an open field.
The majority of institutions for medical
cases over the country have shown by their
records that mental cases are ascending in
number. A decided increase has been
shown and in some institutions the mental
cases even outnumber the attacks of ordi­nary
illnesses. Accidents enter the rec­ords
and take a greater toll than in form­er
years. There is of course, a reason for
these uncommon maladies; in turn there is
a cure. Modern science, while in the hot­bed
of development in speeding up the
world, has also found means for keeping
the human body at an even speed. While we
are finding it necessary to keep up with
the advancing world we must eventually
find it necessary to take advantage of the
anecdotes which science has deemed it wise
to prepare to neutralize the high-speed
tendency. To discover these remedies be­fore
it is too late is the present need, for
eventually it will be necessary to live a
score of years behind our developments in
order to live at all. Unfortunately we are
so constructed that we find it necessary to
be of a highly simple nature in but one
thing—living. This is not a question of
being progressive or non-progressive; not
even a question of being Victorian or mod­ern.
It is rather a question of being quite
foolish or wise. From a sound viewpoint it
appears that a person is really more of a
non-progressing type when time is not tak­en
to appreciate a few of situations in the
present. The future will arrive much too
soon without engaging in a race to meet it.

dence in the business leadership of our

have become stripped of the delusions of

financial life. Instead of putting in

them mice, the public has begun to awaken
to the real needs of the day. A socialized
electorate is the process of being formed.

WITHOUT THE PALE
Chapel Hill, N. C.—Sixteen hundred
checks for the total sum of twelve thousand
dollars were passed on the U. of N. C.
campus during the last year, with the
greater percentage of the checks being pas­sed
through the carelessness of the stu­dents
in keeping an accurate check on their
bank balances. A bad check committee,
composed of the students council and the
local merchants association, are the board
that reviews the cases wherein bad checks
are concerned. The failure of a student
to report to this board with an explanation
following the passing of a bad check results
in-probation or suspension. It is interest­ing
to note that the error lay with the
banks in some five percent of the cases
brought before this committee.

into one hopper and the finished

I feel like the tobacco that has been
poured into the first hopper. The ma­chine
is too big for me. Only dimly do
I comprehend its workings; I wait
results. I am not sure that I am going

I have more respect for a girl I was talk­ing
with the other day, than I once had. On
my saying something she didn't like, she
said, "Damn your soul," in the prettiest
possible way. She's the same girl who
falls down stairs on the average of once a

with her to have her waste a damn on me.
I am a very bad judge of chai'acter. I
thought I didn't like a certain professor;
I avoided having classes with him, and
heard students tell of bad grades and hard
headedness, students of his who didn't like
him.
This year I have a two hour course un­der
that professor, and I find I have never
had a better teacher. He makes me work
where other professors have let me slip
along. He teaches me things where other
professors draw on the black board, and
hem and haw about; saying nothing in par­ticular,
and not caring whether they ex­plain
a thing clearly or not. I appreciate
a man like that and will get up his assign­ments
whether I study anything else at all.
If other professors of mine had been like
this one, I would now know a lot more about
my course than I actually do.

Auburn's fighting Tigers are ac­corded
an excellent opportunity of
upsetting the dope bucket tomorrow
down in New Orleans. If they de­feat
Tulane they will have accom­plished
something no other Southern
team has been able to do since Oc­tober,
1928.
Despite the loss of Kimbrell, Au­burn's
backfield has enough gallopers
left in Hitchcock, Dupree, Phipps,
Rogers, Williams, Brown, Talley, and
Parker to carry that ball up and
down the field. If it's a dry day, a
new Southern Conference champion
may be named tomorrow:
* * *
If Auburn defeats the Greenies,
the Plainsmen will more than likely
finish the season undefeated. NOW,
if Vandy downs Tennessee and Ala­bama
beats Kentucky, Auburn's right
to the title would be unquestioned.
This dream might be turned into a
nightmare by this time tomorrow, but
it's a pleasant thought, anyway.

The Birmingham-Southern Panth­ers
have come a long way since that
crushing 61 to 0 defeat which Au­burn
administered to them Septem­ber
23. Last week they defeated
Mississippi College, 6 to 4, to keep
their record clean in the Dixie Con­ference.
Those Panthers deserved all
the praise in the world for making
such a comeback.

long noted for his punting, put pn

in Birmingham last- Saturday that

efforts. Cain's longest boot was good
for over 60 yards and his shortest
was 12 yai'ds.

According to press dispatches from
New Orleans, at least 25,000 fans

Wallace Wade, Coach of Duke Uni­versity's
Blue Devils, had only one
comment to make after the Auburn-

as gamely as our boys did after hav­ing
been scored on twice within five
minutes of the game deserves credit.
Duke played a nice game but Au­burn
has a great team and she was
favored with the breaks," was the
only statement the famous mentor
would make. But it's not a bad
statement at that.

Aquatic Stars Meet
For First Practice
Wednesday at Gym
Aquatic stars of Auburn met for
their first practice Wednesday after­noon
at the Gym pool. The workout
was under the supervision of Howard
Morris, acting Captain Coach. About
35 men were out to try for .places
on the newly formed team. »•
The most experienced swimmers
are: Morris, Crane, Wheeler, Fink,
Poole, Chalmers, Alcebo, Roberts,
Morris holds the state record in the
back-stroke and 100 free style
events. He has also shown up well
in two Southeastern meets. Wheeler
is a fast free style swimmer, having
beaten the Southern champion once.
Chalmers has been swimming under
the colors of the Birmingham Ath­letic
Club. He and Poole are the
best divers on the squad and will
probably specialize in these events.
Alcebo, who hails from Cuba, was
runner-up in the Cuban National
meet last year in the free style. He
is probably the fastest water sprint­er
in school. Tolve, back-stroke art­ist
who is out for football at present,
will join the team after football sea­son.
Able and Nelson, freshmen, are
working out also and are expected
to add many points to the team's
total.
Several of these stars have been
swimming close to Conference time
and will likely be in condition to
equal these records in a few weeks.
The schedule is being worked on
and meets with the leading water
teams of the south will behejd dur­ing
the season.
burn-Tech Jjame. Jimmie Hitchcock
and Tiny Holmes were presented with
the imitation bengals for outstand­ing
playing in the Auburn-Duke en­counter.
* * *
Tulane will face Auburn tomorrow
with only one member of that power­ful
backfield of last year, Don Zim­merman.
Dawson graduated, Felts
was ruled ineligible, and Payne re­ceived
a broken collar-bone in the
Georgia game which threatens to
keep him on the sidelines for the rest
of the season.
Most of us try all the wrong ways
before we submit to the right way
of doing things.
How much alike people are in
general outline, but how different in
detail!

Out of the mud and slush of South­ern
gridirons last Saturday, Tennes­see,
Auburn, Kentucky, V. P. I., and

as the S. C. race neared the half-way
mark.
This leadership will be severely
challenged this week, however, with
three of the five involved, engaged in
outstanding games.
Kentucky meets V. P. I. and Au­burn
ties up with Tulane in games
which will have an important bear­ing
on the championship.
Tennessee takes on little Maryville
as a breather. North Carolina's Tar­heels
engage Georgia Tech in what

As guests of Misses Alma and Burt
Newton, members of the Auburn
Business "and Professional Women's
Club gathered at the home of Mr.

School to Aid Towns
In Finance Problems
A decrease of at least 300 students
was shown in the latest enrollment
report released yesterday by college
authorities. Registered students now
total 1,609, compared with an in­complete
report of well over 1,800,
on this date last year.
A decrease in the roll of all four
classes was evidenced by the an­nouncement,
the sharpest decrease
found in the freshman class which
fell from 561 for 1931-32, to 392
for the current term. The junior
class showed the greatest regularity
with the junior class of last year
with 378 and 375 students respective­ly.
Graduate students were the only
department, to show a increase with
89 listed over last year's 82.
Female students held closely to last
year's mark with a total of 214
women registered at the present
time.
The various departments show the
following figures—Classes: Fresh­man,
392; Sophomore, 406; Junior,
395; and Senior, 326; Agriculture,
173; Engineering, 430; Textile, 50;
Business Administration, 303; Archi­tecture
and Applied Art, 119; Chem­istry
and Chemical Engineering, 123;
Pharmacy, 31; Education, 250; and
Home Economics, 90.
These figures are expected to in­crease
at the regular mid-term regis­tration
period in January, bringing

The Alabama Polytechnic Institute
is offering to cooperate with towns,
cities, and counties in making sur­veys
and in giving engineering data
concerning proposed self-liquidating
projects for which financial assist­ance
will be sought from the Recon­struction
Finance Corporation.
Official announcement was made
of this today by Dean John J. Wil­more,
chairman of the Auburn Ad­ministrative
Committee. He said that
Professor Arthur St. C. Dunstan,
head of the department of electrical
engineering of the Alabama Poly­technic
Institute, has agreed to as­sist
in this work.
• When requested to do so Prof.
Dunstan will investigate the proposed
projects, furnishes data, give informa­tion
and advise with those sponsor­ing
it from a practical standpoint
and also as to the financial require­ments.
No charge will be made for
the service but expenses incurred by
Professor Dunstan will be reimbursed
by the town, city, or county consider­ing
the project.
a nearer similarity to last year's
figures.
Auburn is very anvious to promote
construction work in line with the
requirements of the Reconstruction
Corporation. Such work will promote
needed improvements, bring money
to Alabama, and reduce unemploy­ment.
These were primary aims of
Congress in enacting legislation, and
providing funds for such work, Dean
Wilmore said.

—and raw tobaccos
have no place in cigarettes
They are not present in Luckies
. . . the mildest cigarette
you ever smoked
WE 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 Luckies
are such mild cigarettes.

Does not this explain the world-wide acceptance and approval of Lucky Strike?
