Attend the THE PLAINSMAN TO FOSTER THE A U B U R N SPIRIT Attend the Dances VOLUME LVI AUBURN, ALABAMA, -SATURDAY, OCT. 22, 1932 NUMBER 13 Hop Begins With Usual Tea Dance This Afternoon Excitement and Glamour Added by Beautiful Visitors Housed by Frats 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 (Continued on page 4) Auburn s Pass Threat CHRISTMAS BALL IS PLANNED BY SENIOR HONOR FRATERNITIES Dance and Banquet to be Given by Leading Societies on December 9th BLUE KEY PROMOTER Firpo Phipps, Auburn backfield luminary, caught in the act of hurling the ball, his specialty.

DEBATE TOURNEY TO BEGIN NOVEMBER 16 Tournament Sponsored by Phi Delta Gamma, National Forensic Society The freshman debate tourney will begin on November 16, according to plans announced by the local chapter of Phi Delta Gamma, sponsors of the contest. This national honorary fraternity will award a prize of ten dollars to the winning team. Any freshmen interested may register in teams of two with Professor Eugene D. Hess. The question for debate is, "Resolved: That legislation should be enacted reserving for educational agencies at least 15_ per cent of all radio channels available for broadcasting in the United States." Rules governing the contest: 1. All teams must register by five o'clock, Tuesday, October 25. Registration will be held in the office of Prof. Hess. 2. One member of each team must be present at the office on Tuesday, October 25, at five o'clock to choose the side of the question to be upheld. 3. Teams will be listed as A, B, C, D, etc. Elimination contests will be held beginning Wendesday, November 16. Teams A and B will debate on this date. Teams C and D on Thursday night, November 17; and E and F on Monday night, November 21. Any other teams will be given a date as they register.

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 (Continued on page 4) 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. SUBSTITUTE APPROPRIATIONS BILL IS DRAFTED BY S0L0NS Original Joint Committee Appropriations Bill is Killed in Favor of New Measure Embodying Educational Recommendations as Drafted by Representative Goode Theatre to Have Football Returns According to recent announcement by F. A. Rogers, the Tiger Theatre will sponsor a football matinee on Saturday afternoon, at which time returns from the Auburn-Tulane foot ball game will be brought direct from the field by leased wire. As a special feature of this broadcast, a huge chart will be displayed in a prominent position that will show the position of the ball at all times. In addition to the matinee the theatre will render its usual Saturday cinema performance, with no extra charge therefor. 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 (Continued on page 4) Team Off to New Orleans to Meet Tulane Greenies Students Cheer as T e am Leaves to Play Crucial Conference Game Tomorrow GREENIES UNDEFEATED Game in New Orleans Will be Feature Match of Entire Southern Conference Ag Fair Will Open Oct. 27 Annual Event to Start with Parade Next Thursday Afternoon at 2:30 Auburn's freshman football team will make its Conference debut Saturday against a strong bullpup team in Athens. Although the frosh were tied by an evenly matched Birmingham- Southern team they have shown considerable improvement under the careful coaching of Earl McFaden, freshman mentor, with the assistance of Ralph Jordan. The probable starting line-up will be as follows: ends, HU1 and Scruggs; tackles, Tolve and Huckle-by; guards, Watson and Fenton; center, Black; halfbacks, O'Rourke and Boteler; fullback, Smith; and quarterback, Paterson. Lamar Miller, stellar guard, will be unable to play, due to a. case of tonsilitis. 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. Blue Key To Tap Saturday Honorary Activities Fraternity t o Announce Pledges at Afternoon Dance Tomorrow Herbert Croen, president of Blue Key, honorary activities fraternity, announced today that the society will tap its pledges at the Blue Key dance Saturday afternoon. Every year Blue Key announces its pledges during different sets of dances, and this year the society is to be host to the morning tea dance of the Sophomore Hop. The purpose of Blue Key is to promote the interests of the .Alabama Polytechnic Institute by recognizing outstanding members of the student body. Samford to Head Democratic Club -.

Opelika Teachers Get April Salary Salaries amounting to $4,065 for the month of April of last session were paid to the Opelika school teachers last Tuesday. Only one and a half month's pay, all of May and half of March, remains unpaid. September's salaries were mailed the fifth of this month. 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- (Continued on page 4) Indianapolis, Ind.—A great ovation was given candidate Franklin D. Roosevelt when he delivered two addresses in Indianapolis yesterday. 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 Class Officers On Thursday Oct 27 Elections of freshmen class officers will be held next Thursday, according to an announcement made by the Executive Cabinet. The polls will be open from 8 in the morning until 5 that afternoon, and all freshmen are urged to vote. All nominations must be in the hands of Scott Turk, chairman of the Elections Committee, at the Sigma Nu House by * o'clock Tuesday night. Several nominations have already been turned in and the ticket will carry the' names of many outstanding freshmen. Band to Sponsor Football Matinee It has been announced that the Auburn Band will sponsor a football matinee Saturday afternoon, direct telephonic returns to be received from New Orleans. The program will begin at 1:45 in the afternoon. 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 broke out upon the faces of ten million rugged individuals. However, most of them were inclined to say: "Oh, Schwab knows what he's doing" or "Insull will make everything right." Today all this super-abundance of confi- 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. * * * * 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.

I 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. * * * * Evanston, 111.—Poor athletes at Northwestern who are ready to offer their all on the gridiron for their alma mater, but have not sufficient money to remain in school, are in line for adoption by some of the leading business men of Evanston, who will furnish their adopted progeny sufficient money to continue with their studies.

"Pug" Rentner, famous fullback, and Dick Fencl, an end. * * * * Chicago, 111.—The following letter appeared in the student publication of Northwestern University: The Powers That Be, The Daily Northwestern: I have been asked to express my attitude toward Northwestern University. I am not sure that a freshman is entitled to have an attitude toward the University, but I will be glad to describe my feelings. Did you ever see one of these cigarette manufacturing machines that turns out many thousands of cigarettes an hour? Attendants pour cigarette tobacco into one hopper and the finished cigarette comes out of the other end. 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 wholly to enjoy the process but I hope " that the machine will make "a first-class cigarette" out of me.

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. * * * * "> Why does the laundry insist on pulling the button off my right sleeve every time?

SHREDDED WHEAT SATIONAL BISCUIT COMPANY "Uneeda Bakers" 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. * * '- # Captain John Cain, of Alabama, long noted for his punting, put pn the greatest exhibition of this art in Birmingham last- Saturday that he has ever shown. On a rain-soaked field he averaged 48 yards in 19 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 are expected to see the Auburn- Tulane game. The Plainsman's colorful team is now one of the greatest drawing cards in the South. * * * Wallace Wade, Coach of Duke University's Blue Devils, had only one comment to make after the Auburn- Duke game. "Any team that battles 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.

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.

This publication has the distinction of being the only magazine edited exclusively by and for women. It carries many valuable articles by some of the nation's outstanding writers on subjects of particular interest to business women. All members of the club went on record as favoring the proposal that they register in order to be eligible to vote in forthcoming local and state elections.

FINAL ENROLLMENT LOW; ENDS AT 1609 Sharp Decrease Evidenced by Final Reports; Upperclasses Hold Steadier Figures 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 total enrollment for the year to 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. SANITARY MARKET Live and Dressed Chickens — our specialty. Choice Meats — our habit.

That's why folks in every city, town and hamlet say that Luckies are such mild cigarettes.

OCR Transcript | Attend the THE PLAINSMAN TO FOSTER THE A U B U R N SPIRIT Attend the Dances VOLUME LVI AUBURN, ALABAMA, -SATURDAY, OCT. 22, 1932 NUMBER 13 Hop Begins With Usual Tea Dance This Afternoon Excitement and Glamour Added by Beautiful Visitors Housed by Frats 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 (Continued on page 4) Auburn s Pass Threat CHRISTMAS BALL IS PLANNED BY SENIOR HONOR FRATERNITIES Dance and Banquet to be Given by Leading Societies on December 9th BLUE KEY PROMOTER Firpo Phipps, Auburn backfield luminary, caught in the act of hurling the ball, his specialty.

This national honorary fraternity will award a prize of ten dollars to the winning team. Any freshmen interested may register in teams of two with Professor Eugene D. Hess. The question for debate is, "Resolved: That legislation should be enacted reserving for educational agencies at least 15_ per cent of all radio channels available for broadcasting in the United States." Rules governing the contest: 1. All teams must register by five o'clock, Tuesday, October 25. Registration will be held in the office of Prof. Hess. 2. One member of each team must be present at the office on Tuesday, October 25, at five o'clock to choose the side of the question to be upheld. 3. Teams will be listed as A, B, C, D, etc. Elimination contests will be held beginning Wendesday, November 16. Teams A and B will debate on this date.

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 (Continued on page 4) 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. SUBSTITUTE APPROPRIATIONS BILL IS DRAFTED BY S0L0NS Original Joint Committee Appropriations Bill is Killed in Favor of New Measure Embodying Educational Recommendations as Drafted by Representative Goode Theatre to Have Football Returns According to recent announcement by F. A. Rogers, the Tiger Theatre will sponsor a football matinee on Saturday afternoon, at which time returns from the Auburn-Tulane foot ball game will be brought direct from the field by leased wire. As a special feature of this broadcast, a huge chart will be displayed in a prominent position that will show the position of the ball at all times. In addition to the matinee the theatre will render its usual Saturday cinema performance, with no extra charge therefor. 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 (Continued on page 4) Team Off to New Orleans to Meet Tulane Greenies Students Cheer as T e am Leaves to Play Crucial Conference Game Tomorrow GREENIES UNDEFEATED Game in New Orleans Will be Feature Match of Entire Southern Conference Ag Fair Will Open Oct. 27 Annual Event to Start with Parade Next Thursday Afternoon at 2:30 Auburn's freshman football team will make its Conference debut Saturday against a strong bullpup team in Athens. Although the frosh were tied by an evenly matched Birmingham- Southern team they have shown considerable improvement under the careful coaching of Earl McFaden, freshman mentor, with the assistance of Ralph Jordan. The probable starting line-up will be as follows: ends, HU1 and Scruggs; tackles, Tolve and Huckle-by; guards, Watson and Fenton; center, Black; halfbacks, O'Rourke and Boteler; fullback, Smith; and quarterback, Paterson. Lamar Miller, stellar guard, will be unable to play, due to a. case of tonsilitis. 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. Blue Key To Tap Saturday Honorary Activities Fraternity t o Announce Pledges at Afternoon Dance Tomorrow Herbert Croen, president of Blue Key, honorary activities fraternity, announced today that the society will tap its pledges at the Blue Key dance Saturday afternoon. Every year Blue Key announces its pledges during different sets of dances, and this year the society is to be host to the morning tea dance of the Sophomore Hop. The purpose of Blue Key is to promote the interests of the .Alabama Polytechnic Institute by recognizing outstanding members of the student body. Samford to Head Democratic Club -.

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- (Continued on page 4) Indianapolis, Ind.—A great ovation was given candidate Franklin D. Roosevelt when he delivered two addresses in Indianapolis yesterday. 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 Class Officers On Thursday Oct 27 Elections of freshmen class officers will be held next Thursday, according to an announcement made by the Executive Cabinet. The polls will be open from 8 in the morning until 5 that afternoon, and all freshmen are urged to vote. All nominations must be in the hands of Scott Turk, chairman of the Elections Committee, at the Sigma Nu House by * o'clock Tuesday night. Several nominations have already been turned in and the ticket will carry the' names of many outstanding freshmen. Band to Sponsor Football Matinee It has been announced that the Auburn Band will sponsor a football matinee Saturday afternoon, direct telephonic returns to be received from New Orleans. The program will begin at 1:45 in the afternoon. 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 broke out upon the faces of ten million rugged individuals. However, most of them were inclined to say: "Oh, Schwab knows what he's doing" or "Insull will make everything right." Today all this super-abundance of confi- 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. * * * * 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.

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.

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.

SHREDDED WHEAT SATIONAL BISCUIT COMPANY "Uneeda Bakers" 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. * * '- # Captain John Cain, of Alabama, long noted for his punting, put pn the greatest exhibition of this art in Birmingham last- Saturday that he has ever shown. On a rain-soaked field he averaged 48 yards in 19 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 are expected to see the Auburn- Tulane game. The Plainsman's colorful team is now one of the greatest drawing cards in the South. * * * Wallace Wade, Coach of Duke University's Blue Devils, had only one comment to make after the Auburn- Duke game. "Any team that battles 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. * * * Benson's awarded two more plaster tigers to outstanding Auburn football players last Saturday.

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.

This publication has the distinction of being the only magazine edited exclusively by and for women. It carries many valuable articles by some of the nation's outstanding writers on subjects of particular interest to business women. All members of the club went on record as favoring the proposal that they register in order to be eligible to vote in forthcoming local and state elections.

FINAL ENROLLMENT LOW; ENDS AT 1609 Sharp Decrease Evidenced by Final Reports; Upperclasses Hold Steadier Figures 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 total enrollment for the year to 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. SANITARY MARKET Live and Dressed Chickens — our specialty. Choice Meats — our habit.

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.
