of that body last Monday night.
Dean Petrie organized and
coached the first football team
to represent Auburn and has
been one of the Tfgers staunch-est
and most enthusiastic sup­porters
since that time. Auburn's
first representatives on the grid­iron
attained a high rating
throughout the country and Dr.
Petrie has been recognized as
one of the "fathers of football"
in the South.
25 SCHOOLS ENTER
DRAMATIC CONTEST
Eleven Contests Be Included In
Tournament Here On March
24th and 25th
PROGRAM UNANNOUNCED
Two Schools Enter Seven And
Eight Respectively Of Eleven
Branches Of Competition
Twenty-five High Schools from all
parts of the state have been entered
in the State High School Dramatic
Tourney. Those in charge announ­ced
that this is the largest number
ever to participate in the contest.
The tourney is to be held here on the
24th and 25th of this month.
Most of the schools have entries in
several of the eleven contests, which
include oratory, readings, school news
papers, dramatics, essay writing, and
vocales. Tallassee and Fairfax High
Schools lead the list with eight and
seven entries respectively. Other
schools taking part are: Alexander
City, Bessemer, Blacksher, Colbert
Co., Fairhope, Holtville, Monroe Co.,
Pine Hill, Wadley, Lee Co., Ridge
Grove, Opelika, Sampson, Woodlawn,
Mobile, Anniston, Hackneyville, Syla-cauga,
Phillips, Ensley, Five Points,
Albertville, and Ramsey Tech.
The program has not yet been de­cided
upon but will be announced as
soon as all entries are in. Prof. Rut­land
said that he is well pleased with
the response from the High Schools.
FINAL MASS MEETING
BE HELD ON THURSDAY
A tentative date of Thursday week
has been set for the mass meeting" at
which cheerleaders for next year will
be chosen, according to a statement
made public today by Bill Ham, pres­ent
cheerleader. According to the
present plans, this rally will be dedi­cated
to the seniors, since it will be
the last one that they will have an op­portunity
to attend while in school.
The meeting will be held in Lang-don
Hall at night and an interesting
program is being arranged. Coach
Wynne will be the featured speaker,
with several other prominent person­ages
also scheduled to say a few
words.
The band will be present to play
for the affair, and in all probability a
parade will precede the meeting. All
candidates for cheerleader will be
given an opportunity to lead yells,
and the winner will be chosen by the
student body, instead of by the "A"
Club as was formerly the custom.
Ham has asked that all candidates
turn in their names to him as soon as
possible and a date will be set after
which no candidates will be accepted.
This rally will be a novelty in that
never before has such an affair been
held except during the football sea­son.
Interest is keen as to the out­come
of the meeting, and a large at­tendance
is expected.
TREASURY LICENSE
PERMITS BANKS TO
OPEN AGAIN TODAY
Both Auburn Banks Reopen,
And Institutions Throughout
Country Resume Business
NO RESTRICTIONS PLACED
Many Customers Revive Busi­ness
In Auburn As Money Is
Permitted To Circulate
BANKING BOARD TO MEET
Forty-Nine Alabama Banks Granted
Licenses; All Metropolitan Clear­ing
Houses Open
The extended bank holiday in Au­burn
came to an end this morning
when both the city's banks reopened
under privilege of a license granted
them by the Secretary of Treasury.
The local banks are now prepared to
transact business on a normal basis
for the first time since the holiday
began.
Business was brisk throughout the
morning as many customers visited
the banking institutions. So far there
have been comparatively few with­drawals
and deposits will probably
be in excess to outgoing cash. The
business air has taken on new warmth
and optimism prevades the atmos­phere
throughout Auburn.
No restrictions have been placed on
the banks as was first thought there
would be. The only regulation that
has been issued concerning those
banks whether or not licensed to car­ry
on usual and normal functions has
been issued by the Secretary of
Treasury. The regulation concerns
hoarding and reads in part: "No
banking institution shall permit any
withdrawal by any person when such
institution, acting in good faith, shall
deem that the withdrawal is intended
for hoarding. Any banking institu­tion,
before premitting the withdraw­al
of large or unusual amounts of cur­rency,
may require from the person
requesting such withdrawal, a full
statement under oath of the purpose
for which the currency is requested."
At present there are forty-nine
banks in Alabama operating under
the licenses granted them. There is
to be a meeting of the State Banking
Board for the purpose of considering
applications to reopen from all State
banks and most of the banks in Ala­bama
will probably be open within the
next few days.
All banks in clearing house cities
opened yesterday as did the majority
of the banks in twelve Federal Re­serve
centers.
With the reopening of banking in­stitutions
all over the nation has
come added confidence in the Roose­velt
administration and in business
conditions in general. Quotations in
the American dollar were resumed
on money markets yesterday "and the
opening figure was at $3.43 to the
pound sterling at London, a cent high­er
than before the bank holiday. The
Chicago Board of Trade indicated
that it might reopen futures trading
Friday. One major bank in the coun­try
has failed to open, The Harriman
National Bank at New York, and a
conservator has been appointed.
TRIBUTE PAID TIGER
HARDWOOD PERFORMERS
Minus the services of a 1932 regu­lar
until the second semester when
Capt. Slick Kaley returned to school,
Auburn's 1933 basketball team failed
to turn in a sensational record, but
the fine showings made by the Plains­men
in each of the 17 games in which
they participated was a direct tribute
to the expert coaching ability of the
taciturn Sam McAllister.
McAllister literally started from
the ground up to build his 1933 five,
as his- first six players in 1932 were
missing when the past season rolled
around. The Tiger cage generalissi­mo
said before the 1933 season start­ed
that he would be satisfied if his

The principle speaker of the evening
is to be Lt. Volney C. Finch, head
professor of aeronautical engineer­ing,
who will speak on a very inter­esting
subject. In addition to this,
the local chapter of Eta Kappa Nu,
national electrical engineering honor­ary
fraternity will hold its tapping
ceremonies. -
At 9 p. m. the annual Engineer Ball
will be staged at Alumni Gym.. Due
to a previous engagement, the Au­burn
Knights, popular local orchestra
will be unavailable for this dance. In
their stead, will be Susie Freeman

from Columbus, Ga.
One of" the features of the dance
will be the annual opening tapping
ceremonies of Tau Beta Pi, national
honorary fraternity for Engineers. A
scholastic cup is to be awarded the
freshman in engineering who had the
higjhest scholastic average for the
last year, by Tau Beta Pi.
Due to financial conditions this
year, the usual ribbons for engineer­ing
students will not be worn on this
occasion. The Student Executive
Committee, consists of A. C. Black,
R. W. Wages, R. P. Lapsley, T. E.
Curtiss, Isaac Ledbetter, and R. G.
Pitts. The Executive Committee has
expended every effort to make the day
enjoyable and.hopes that its attempts
to carry on this traditional custom of.
Engineers Day will be successful.

CHAPMAN TELLS OF
O. D. K. CONVENTION
At a meeting of Omicron Delta
Kappa last night Fred Chapman, dele­gate"
from the local circle to the na­tional
convention held at Duke Uni­versity
in Durham, rendered an ex­tensive
report of the conclave.
Chapman told of the marked ad­vance
made by Omicron Delta Kappa
during the last few years, of new
chapters installed, and of the promi­nent
speakers present at the conven­tion.
He further stated that P. O. Davis
was elected to the publications En­dowment
committee of the fraternity
at the convention.
Classes will be dismissed at 11:00
o'clock Thursday morning for a spe­cial
convocation period in Langdon
Hall where Dr. W. H. Spencer, dean
of the school of business, University
of Chicago will address Auburn stu­dents
and faculty. Students and fac­ulty
are asked to attend.
Dean J. J. Wilmore, chairman of
the Administrative Committee, has
arranged for faculty members to meet
and talk informally with Dr. Spencer
at 2:00 o'clock that afternoon in the
president's office. In view of the
fact that the University of Chicago
has initiated and is applying new
ideas in higher education under the
new administration of Dr. R. M.
Hutchins, it is believed that many
of the Auburn faculty will be inter­ested
in getting first-hand informa­tion
on these educational innovations.
Dr. Spencer is an Alabamian, his
home being in Anniston. He grad­uated
from Birmingham-Southern in
1907 and received the Th.D. from
Chicago six years later. He was made
dean at Chicago in 1924.
Dr. Spencer returned to Alabama
to attend a Founders' Day program
at Birmingham-Southern on March 17
at which he will be the principal
speaker.
ECONOMIC BUREAU HEARS
DEAN SCOTT IN ADDRESS
Four happenings which probably
widely influenced the run on banks
were named by Dean J. W. Scott in
his talk before the Bureau of Econ­omic
Research which met Monday
night in the president's office. These
were namely, the Mitchell affair, the
Michigan affair, rumors, and the
hoarders' fear of Roosevelt's liberal
ideas.
Dean Scott speaking on the Rela­tion
of Money and Banking to the
Depression, discussed the important
moves which President Roosevelt has
taken toward relief as, the issuance
of new currency, the allowance of the
Federal Reserve Banks to loan money
directly to individuals and the calling
of gold into the treasury. The Presi­dent
threatens to publish the names
of all gold hoarders who do not turn
their gold into the treasury.
"Backing the new currency by
government bonds makes it possible
to issue eleven billion dollars worth
of this currency" Dean Scott con­tinued.
"In the past two years over
ten billion dollars have been put into
circulation through the soldiers bon­us
and government deficit. A new is­sue
of three billion dollars is not
likely to change the situation very
much although it will aid the banks
temporarily."
This was the fifth meeting held by
the Bureau of Economic Research for
the purpose of making a study of^the
depression. The Bureau will meet
again next Monday night in the presi­dent's
office.

CORRECTION
In a recent issue an article appear­ed
stating that the new art editor of
the Glomerata will be chosen by the
present editor. On the contrary, bids
will be submitted to the new editor
and he shall award a contract to any
art editor or art editors that he sees
fit. The position of art editor no lon­ger
exists as a campus office, but is
now a contractural position, depend­ing
on submitted bids and specifica­tions
for the art work in the year
book. Awarding of contract will be
entirely in the hands of the new edi­tor,
to be elected on March 29.
Seven seniors in the school of agri­culture,
W. G. Beatty, Birmingham;
J. B. Brooks, Killen; H. S. Fisher,
Huntsville; W. W. Matthews, Scotts-boro;
M. S. Phillips, Carrollton; J. C.
Slone, Auburn; and T. P. Whitten,
Roanoke, were recently elected into
Gamma Sigma Delta, national honor­ary
agricultural fraternity, according
to a statement issued this morning by
F. S. Arant, secretary-treasurer, of
the local chapter. The other officers
of this chapter are W. D. Salmon,
president, and O. C. Medlock, vice-president.
Membership in this fraternity is
limited to fifteen per cent of the grad­uating
class, this percentage being
taken from the twenty-five per cent
having the highest scholastic average
for the past three and one-half years.
Honesty, leadership, personality, and
participation in agricultural and other
campus activities are further con­siderations
for election.
Alabama is the only chapter of
Gamma Sigma Delta in the South, the
other chapters being in northern and
mid-western states. The local chap­ter
was founded here in 1916. Each
year it awards a cup to the best all-around
junior in agriculture.
Prof. F. E. Guyton is national pres­ident
of Gamma Sigma Delta.
Blue Key, national activities socie­ty,
elected twenty-two juniors to
membership at a meeting held Mon­day
night. ,
The men chosen are: John B. Bass,
of Gadsden; Rudolph Blanton, of For­est
City, N. C ; Lawrence Ennis, of
Birmingham; J. L. Fincher, of Cullo-den,
Ga.; William Gaines, of Mobile;
George Hardy, of Eutaw; E. W. Mc­Call,
of Gadsden; F. S. McLaren, of
Birmingham; Warren MacMahan, of
Tuscumbia;. D. Hampton Morris, of
Geneva; Donald Pierce, of Birming­ham;
Lynwood Poole, of Montgom­ery;
Robert Rutland of Auburn; John
Scott, of Huntsville; K. G. Taylor, of
Albany, Ga.; James Vann, of Birm­ingham;
George E. White, of Colum­bus,
Ga.; Randolph White, of Union-town;
James Wible, of Montgomery;
OHver Wiley, of Troy; George Wil­liams,
of Tuscumbia; Charles Work­man,
of Ashland.
The purpose of Blue Key is to rec­ognize
men who have rendered out­standing
service to their alma mater
in some form or other.
Departing from the usual custom,
Blue Key and Omicron Delta Kappa
have drawn for their personnel twto
different groups of men, no one man
receiving a bid to both organizations.
It is thought that this plan will do
much to create a more active inter­est
in the organizations on the part of
their members.
Drawing its members from every
phase of campus life, Blue Key has
long enjoyed the reputation of being
one of the most active honor societies
here. Luncheons are held on each
third Wednesday in the collegiate
year, at which time student problems
are brought up and discussed. Va­rious
activities on the campus are
sponsored by Blue Key, among them
baseball programs, the Honor Society
Ball, the Blue Key Award, and a num­ber
of others.
Herbert F. Croen, Jr., of North
Tarrytown, N. Y., is president of the
local society. Other officers are:
Stuart Pugh, vice-president, and Cal­vin
Black, secretary-treasurer.
WELDING PICTURE WILL
BE SHOWN IN LANGDON
As an added attraction to the reg­ular
program of Engineers Day, the
welding picture which was to have
been shown last Friday night, will be
shown in Langdon Hall Friday night.
The operator of, the projection ma­chine
was unable to satisfactorily ad­just
the film last week, so that it was
necessary to postpone the affair. Ap­proximately
two hundred students
and townspeople had gathered for
the picture when it was found that
the film did not fit correctly in' the
machine.
The picture will deal with the oper­ation
and uses of oxy-acetylene weld­ing
as applied to present day indus­try.
Several reels of film have been
procured from the Air Reduction
Sales Company's Birmingham office
through the cooperation of Prof. C.
H. Cobb.
The time for the picture will be
announced in Friday's issue of the
Plainsman, for the benefit of all who
are interested.
ADDITIONAL WORDS MAY
BE SENT IN TELEGRAM
At no cost you may now include
four extra words in a telegram, ac­cording
to an announcement made by
the Western Union Telegraph Com­pany,
as long as the four words mean
"Reply By Western Union". You
can even make it five, if you say, "An­swer
Collect By Western Union".
Telegraph officials denied that the
gift to the public is a scotch one,
pointing out that the use of the free
words by anyone will hasten the an­swer
to a telegram and therefore will
benefit the public as well as the com­pany.
REGISTRAR PREPARES

A PRACTICABLE HONOR SYSTEM
One of the best honor systems now in
operation in this country is at the Uni­versity
of Virginia. It is a system in which
the faculty plays no hand whatsoever. It
is student-organized and student-operated.
It extends into every department of the
university. It is backed up by reputation
and tradition, being several score years old.
Honor is not confined to classwork alone.
Any student caught violating a strict code
of honor is immediately reported to a stu­dent
council who act on. the offender with
dispatch. Dishonesty of all kinds, whether
it be in a poker game or on an examination
meets with the swift punishment of the
students.
The honor council is composed of depart­mental
representatives, very similar to our
Executive Cabinet. In this council is vest­ed
all powers of enforcement of the honor
system.
Malefactors are reported by two other
students. To many this appears to be a
modification of the stool-pigeon idea; how­ever,
this attitude is based on false reason­ing.
Any law-abiding citizen will report a
murderer or burglar; why should not a law-abiding
student report a dishonest class­mate?
Not to report an offender is to
.shield a criminal, and that in itself is a
crime. .. "'
/The honor system at Virginia is highly
successful; every student in the university
cooperates to make it so. There are two
factors which make it successful; its tra­ditional
background and its enjoyment of
the approval of the students.
In the beginning an honor system at Au­burn
would not be backed up by respected
tradition. However, every good thing has
to have its beginning.
The question of whether an honor system
here would have the approval of the stu­dents
is problematical.
Again the question: Are the students
willing to organize and set into operation
an honor system which will wholly elimi­nate
dishonesty in the classroom?
TO THE WOMEN
Student government elections are being
held. On the officers elected depends the
progress to be made in the next school year.
The Women Student Government officers
will be elected today. On the girls elected
will depend the status of co-eds in the next
year.
When the ballots are cast this afternoon
for the nominations and ensuing election,
every woman student should and must give
serious and careful consideration of the
name on her ballot. Personal feeling should
enter into a campus election not at all.
The girls best fitted to hold the respective
offices should be the ones elected.
Qualifications for a position on the Wom­an
Student Government Council are many.
The girl should be a straight thinker, one
who sees clearly and is capable of sanely
carrying out the ideas of the 'Women stu­dents
on the campus. She must be broad-minded,
yet possessed of rare good judge­ment
and common sense. Above all must
the candidates be possessed of interest—
be wide awake to the possibilities for co-eds
to become an organized working force.
She must be willing to sacrifice time and
effort to furthering the welfare of women
students. She must be an organizer and
an executive—for she will be in a position
where she is expected to know what to
do and how to do it.
Every woman student on the campus
must be at the election to cast her vote.
Any girl that shows such a lack of inter­est
in her student group as to fail to put
in an appearance at the polls, is not worthy
of being calleda student of the institution.
Yet each voter must come with a cool head
and be fortified with calm deliberation and
unbiased feelings. The girls to hold the
positions of responsibility must be elected
because of. their qualifications and not be­cause
of popularity or organized political
frame-ups.
BEHOLD THE GATE-CRASHER
During the past year, there has been a
decided increase in the amount of "gate
crashing" at nearly all social functions on
the campus. Particularly has this childish
art been applied to fraternity dances, and
the offenders have in most cases been fra­ternity
men. Certainly, the man who would
attend a private function uninvited has no
sense of self-respect, nor has he any per­sonal
pride. Undoubtedly those who are
wont to practice this ungentlemanly art
know better, yet they remain, in the eyes
of everyone, a reflection upon their fra­ternity
and, even upon their parents.
The natural alibi which the offender will
t ry to pass off upon his conscience, in order
that it might be kept clear, is that the fra­ternity
giving the function had meant to^
extend him an invitation; but for some un­known
reason, he had been overlooked. Be
this as it may. The man who attends a
dance without an invitation is very much in
evidence to the hosts and he is invariably
the target for remarks which are in no way
complimentary. It is quite possible that
one might harden himself against this sort
of abuse to such an extent that it would not
have any effect upon him; but even then he
should have enough fraternity pride to re­frain
from lowering the name of. his broth­ers
by connecting it with such action.
There is usually an excellent reason on
the part of the hosts for not inviting cer­tain
people to their social affairs, but under
the present conditions which are prevalent
in most fraternities, the factor limiting the
number of guests is the amount of space
available. Neither is intoxication or feign­ed
intoxication suitable excuse for any ac­tion
of this kind, and it is hoped that men
who are supposed to 'be of the best social
standing will forget some of their high
school tricks when college dances are in­volved;
THESE CANDIDATES
The fact that forty promising underclass­men
have announced their candidacies for
seats on the Executive Cabinet is indeed
encouraging.
Never since the establishment of .the stu­dent
government in 1929 has the student
body manifested such widespread interest
in it.
The array of candidates this year holds
more promise than ever before.
Out of the forty candidates seventeen
will be elected.
Students should exercise the utmost care
in selecting these seventeen.
Honor societies will do well to consider
the newly-elects carefully. It is they who
will do the work in student affairs next
year.
And it must follow that they should get
recognition.
With the election of seventeen outstand­ing
and intelligent men to the Cabinet, the
student government next year has every
chance of commanding the respect and inter­est
of the student body.
AN INCURABLE DISEASE?
Five years ago the United States was a
country of fat and plenty, of industrial
construction, of intense commercial activi­ty,
of material progress, of mammoth
crowds, of peace and plenty.
Today it is a nation of soup kitchens, of
cross-word puzzles, of howling agitators,
of scared bankers, of disillusioned college
boys.
There is scarcely a single mature man in
the country who has not expressed his be­lief
as to the causes of the present situ­ation.
Industrial leaders, economists, professors,
journalists, authors, historians, preachers,
a host of authorities in many fields have
filled the newspapers with individual opin­ions
on the matter for the last three years.
Newspapers themselves have concocted
slogans in the hope that it all was a mat­ter
of the public's frame of mind, slogans
that are now uttered in irony.
The small business man has added his
painful bark to the general howl. The
trouble is overproduction! No, it is under­consumption
! No, it is Japan! No, it is war
debts! No, it is deflation of currency! No,
it is the concentration of people in cities!
And thus have they analyzed the situation,
each in his own fashion.
Today the hue and cry has died, leaving
the country in a state of hopeless despair.
No one man can point to the cause or
causes of the depression, and no one man
can point a sure way back to the norm.
If the nation takes on new courage and
cooperates to the best of its ability in meet­ing
a crisis, it will be safe to hope for re­covery
within five or six years; if the situ-

* * * * TO WHOM does the Alabama Polytech­nic
Institute belong? It is my insti­tution;
it is your institution. It is
an institution which belongs to all the peo­ple
of Alabama. Furthermore, it is a na­tional
asset.
Since it belongs to you and me, it is our
solemn obligation to protect and defend it,
to guard its good name everywhere and
under all circumstances, and to do all we
can to build it up as much as we can and
the least to tear it down.
Anything that you and I may do to dam­age

Hence it is detrimental to ourselves. More­over

President Roosevelt in his inaugural ad­dress
vigorously condemned dishonesty of
all kinds. He charged dishonesty in high
places with much responsibility for econo­mic
distress and financial chaos which he
found when he became President. He pre­sented
evidence to support his charges.
And dishonesty in high places is a nat­ural
out-growth of dishonesty in low places.
For example, any one who "swipes" an elec­tric
light bulb may not realize it but he is
stealing, is being dishonest.. He is taking
something which does not belong to him.
The same is true of any other petty
thievery.
The person who engages in such stealing
may escape punishment from others but he
cannot escape punishment from himself.
Any intelligent person knows when he is
stealing. He can't forget it and since he
cannot forget it his conscience will certainly
condemn him. If he continues he is certain
to take his stealing practices wherever he
goes. Such becomes part of him.
I hope that any one reading this will
take it to heart before taking another elec­tric
light bulb or stealing any other prop­erty,
be i t ever so small.
The bank moratorium is over, according
to announcements from Washington. Big
banks, middle-sized banks, and little banks
have opened their doors for business in the
usual way.
Since money is the life blood of the econ­omic
structure we assume that the blood
has been purified, refreshed, and replenish­ed
so that it will continue to function prop­erly
without interruption or collapse.
Momentous changes have taken place
within the last fortnight. The public feel­ing
now seems to be that the bottom has
been touched and improvement has begun.
No one, however, can be sure. Only time
will tell.
One thing is sure. This nation is going
through a new experience. All of us hope
that in the end we shall be a bigger and
better nation. We must profit by our mis­takes
in the past and proceed wisely in the
future.

"During all the wars in which this coun­try
has engaged as a nation—the Revolu­tionary,
the War of 1812, the Mexican War,
the Civil War, the Spanish-American, and
the World War—Americans killed in ac­tion
or who died of wounds—number un­der
300,000."
The above paragraph comes from the
Travelers Insurance Company, to which was
added:
"During the last 15 years—a period ap­proximating
the total duration of these six
major wars—Americans killed in automo­bile
accidents within the United States or
who died of such injuries have numbered
325,000."
While the war casualty list is not as large
as is generally accepted by the public mind
economic distress and grief in connection
with post-war adjustments are excruciat­ingly
terrible as.most people are now will­ing

Arthur Brisbane, famous columnist for
newspapers has written in glowing terms
concerning California. One fact he empha­sizes/
It is that California is not balancing
the depression at the expense of her schools.
The schools of that State are rulnning de­spite
depression. Hence, California, is not
making a public criminal of her schools as
is being attempted in other states.
No intelligent person would defend in­efficiency
in a school system but to balance
a state budget at the expense of schools
efficiently operated would be a crime for
which the boys and girls of this and the
next generation will be punished.
Schools need public confidence, agricul­ture
needs public confidence, business needs
public confidence, banks need public confi­dence,
and everything else now needs public
confidence. \
One after another the pillows of our econ­omic
structure have crumbled. Now the
question arises, what, shall we do with the
wreck? The answer is a lot if we restore
confidence.
These are stirring times. Chaos and
distress are abroad. We need to look at
ourselves, take confidence and press' for­ward,
believing in other people and in our
institutions.

EDITOR'S NOTE: The opinions expressed in this
column are not necessarily the editorial opinions of

editorial policy.
THE PRESIDENT has set a prece­dent
in governmental action for Con­gress
as well as the various state
legislatures to follow. Whether his adtions
will prove to be right or wrong he has at
least done something. That alone, is more
than Congress can profess to have done.
And beyond all doubt is something the hy­pocritically
stagnant state legislature can
lay claim to with any degree of reason.
The people of the state are as much to
blame as the legisators themselves in that
they have allowed such inefficient public
servants to remain in office for so long a
time. At the present they are spending a
half a million dollars the state does not
possess, are involving the state in number­less
controversies to add to those that have
already arisen, and have capped it all by
their inability to show a single progressive
move in this, or any other session for the
past four years. Besides being afflicted
by a popularly chosen executive puppet,
the citizens continue to tolerate a legisla­tive
branch that has defeated education and
every other formerly decent institution
within the entire commonwealth. The en­tire
state is undergoing a rapid process
of governmental and institutional decay.
"Without justice", said St. Augustine,
"states are nothing else but large bands of
robbers, as bands of robbers are nothing else
but little states." And he knew that he was
speaking a great truth, so expertly proved
in Alabama since his day.

"Religion", says Catholicism, "is a strict
obligation incumbent on man." That state­ment,
in the author's opinion, smacks of a
highly developed narrowness in belief. Re­ligious
orders, whether they be Catholic
or of other creeds, tend toward narrowness-.
Religion of any worthwhile value should be
adopted through no sense of obligatory in­cumbency.
On the contrary i t appears En­tirely
logical that religion should be more
individually optional. There is no true
beauty in the worship of a Diety if such
worship is hot developed through a sense
of individual desire for the establishment
of a relationship between individuals and
their chosen Diety. Above all, true reli­gion
should not be regarded as an incum­bency.

With full realization of the handicaps
placed upon the present athletic department
for the past several years, Observer still
believes that if one-hundred percent of the
students contribute fifty percent of their
student activity fees to athletics, that more
than ten percent of the students should be
placed in a position to take advantage of
the athletic program. Four major sports
are supported by the institution, and it is
hardly logical to contend that those sports
offer the number of openings the students
deserve. Minor sports, while not as spec­tacular
and as full of mass appeal as those
sponsored by the present athletic program,
in many cases require more skill and are as
fully exciting as the sports within the so-termed
major athletic group.

GEORGE MOORE SPEAKS TO
JUNIOR SCIENCE ACADEMY
Alabama's quota of 75 reptile spe­cies
includes a varied assortment of
47 snakes, 28 turtles and terrapins,
•eight lizards, a single alligator family,
and perhaps a member or so of the
genus crocodiler The reptiles vary
in size from that of the alligator
down to tiny worm snakes of only a
few inches.
This summary of the State's rep­tilian
population was given by George
Moore who represented the Auburn
High School science club before the
first Junior Academy of Science
meeting held in connection with the
Alabama Academy of Science gath­ering
in Birmingham last week.
The young scientist hastened to
add that only three of the 47 types
of Alabama snakes are poisonous—
the rattler, the moccasin, and the very
beautiful but highly venomous little
coral snake.
He advocates the .protection of
most of these reptiles because, he
said, the majority of them are harm­less
and' feed on undesirable insects
and rodents. The alligator is val­uable
for its skin, lizards are harmless
and are the best destroyers of insect
life, while the diamond back turtle
will bring $5 per dozen in eastern
markets.
"Some of the most beneficial
snakes are the coach whip, the scarlet
racer, and the rat and king snakes.
They consume great quantities of
rats, mice, ground squirrels, and oth­er
destructive rodents.
"All except.the poisonous snakes
should be protected. We have laws
which protect song birds and those
which are beneficial. Why not let
Alabama lead in the protection of
beneficial reptiles?
"Alabama snakes are not aggres­sive.
Rattlesnakes will always give
warning with their rattles before
they strike. The water moccasin is
less to be trusted although it will
likely slide off into the water when
approached. The copperhead moc­casin
gives no warning but it 'minds

run. I have walked up to and caught
several in the last year and never
has one attempted to bite until I be­gan
playing with it. If a person gets
too close to a rattlesnake, it will rat­tle
its tail as if to tell him to stop.
If the tail strikes dry leaves it will
make considerable noise and as soon
as the person steps back it will prob­ably
run.
"The coral snake, found only in
the southern part of the State, has
an uncertain disposition and its bite
proves fatal in about three times out
of four. If a snake ever runs toward
a person it is blind because it has not
completely shedded its old skin."

Card Be Staged In
Opelika Wednesday
Two boys with a lot of ballyhoo
behind them—Kid Lott of Birming­ham
and. "Tarzan, the Masked Mar­vel"
of Los Angeles, California—will
meet in the main event of the Amer-cian
Legion's third wrestling card at
the local arena Wednesday night. The
winner will have to take the best 2
out of 3 falls within a 2 hour time
limit. In the semi-final, the best 2
out of 3 falls with a one hour time
limit, Jimmie Demos of Boston will
take on Roy Allen of Knoxville,
Tenn. As a curtain raiser, the Le­gion
will probably schedule a three
round boxing match. The show will
start promptly at 8:15.
The main event has all the ear­marks
of what is known in show­manship
circles as a "natural." Both
Lott and.Tarzan have appeared here
before—both wrestled "Roughouse"
Jack Hagan—and both won their
matches. Tarzan licked Hagan on
the first card two weeks ago and Lott
beat "Roughouse" here last week.
Lott and Tarzan are pretty evenly
matched in size and weight and their
match promises to give the fans their
money's worth. E. A. "Dizzy" Pruett
will referee both wrestling matches.
The grapplers appearing on the
Legion cards here are the same ones
who are making the circuit of the
larger Alabama cities such as Bir­mingham,
Montgomery, Gadsden,
Florence, Anniston, and others. Thus
Opelika fans have the opportunity of
seeing matches just as good as the
ones put on in these larger cities.

UNIVERSITY OF NORTH

Chapel Hill, N. C.—The statement
made by David Clark in an editorial
in the Souther Textile Bulletin con­cerning
the activities of the U. of N.
C. Press has resulted in a demand by
the officials of press of a complete re­traction.
The substance of the offen­sive
statement was: that "taxpayers
of North Carolina paid for printing
the volume and that they are even
now contributing approximately $25,-
000 per year for printing and pub­licity
at the U. of N. C. much of
which is for the purpose of spreading

regarding the rights of the
collegiate press as opposed to the
power of the student council. In the
interest of correct news for release to
the student body in general, the edi­tors
of the "University Hatchet" pro­posed
that a reporter selected by the
editors should be present at all meet­ings
of the council, replacing the
member of the council now acting as
reporter. The defeat of this proposal
at the hands of the council resulted
in a great deal of editorial comment.

Business Improvement
Shown By Publication
Improvement in business activity
as indicated by building permits, cot­ton
consumption, cotton spinning,
coal production, and electric energy
sales were shown in the* March issue
of the Alabama Economic Review,
published by the Alabama Polytech­nic
Institute and mailed today.
Decreases were shown, however, in
demand deposits in banks, advertising
linage, savings deposits, bank clear­ings,
life insurance sales, bank debits,
coke production, and pig iron out­put.
Figures presented compared Jan­uary,
1932, with January, 1933. In a
summary statement of conditions, the
publication said.: "Statistical com­parisons
of buisness for January of
this year with January a year earlier
are much more favorable than such
comparisons have been for several
months. This condition indicates that
business is not declining as rapidly
as a year ago even if it is operating
at much lower levels."
The review points out that "Ala­bama
farmers along with other farm­ers
of the .nation continue to suffer
under a vicious price disparity as
they pitch their crops for 1933."
Prices received for things farmers
sell are given at 51 while prices for
things they buy are given at 105 with
prices for the pre-war period being
taken as a base index at 100. "This
situation places the farmer's purchas­ing
at a very low point and natural­ly
depresses all lines of business," the
review commented.

AUTHORITIES ON RUSSIA WILL
LEAD FIRST RUSSIAN SEMINAR
Group Of Americans Will Visit The Soviet Union For The Pur­pose
Of Studying Conditions In The Country; Seminar Will
Also Visit Other Countries
Boston, Mass.—Early in July a
group of Americans will visit the
Soviet Union under the guidance of
specialists. The movement will be
called the First Russian Seminar and
every possible attempt will be made
to give the members an unprejudiced
insight into conditions, past, present
and future. Propaganda of all kinds
will be avoided. Experienced Ameri
can authorities will accompany the
group giving talks to the members of
the Seminar on such subjects as His­tory,
Economics, Politics, Art, Archi­tecture
and Religion.
An advisory committee of leading
Americans who are authorities on
Russia has been formed, includingthe
following names: Stuart Chase, New
York City; Professor Kenneth Con-ant,
Samuel H. Cross and Bruce C.
Hopper, Harvard University; Henry
W. L. Dana, Cambridge; Prof. Geor­ge
H. Day, Occidental College; Prof.
Samuel N. Harper, The University of
Chicago; Henry I. Harriman, Presi­dent,
United States Chamber of Com­merce,
Boston; Prof. Walter W.
Hyde, University of Pennsylvania;
Prof. Frank Nowak, Boston Universi­ty;
Grove Patterson, editor of the
Toledo Blade, Toledo; Prof. D. C.
Toole, Princeton*University; Prof. G.
T. Robinson, Columbia University;
F. Tredwell Smith, New York City;
and Whiting Williams, Cleveland.
' Extensive contacts have been
made with the cultural and political
leaders of Soviet life and there will
be frequent opportunities for inform­al
discussions with men and women
who are responsible for the present
policies. Frank round table discus­sions
with question and answer pe­riod
will be the order of the day.
To the thoughtful American^citi-zen,
anxious to learn the utntfost pos­sible
about the ways and means of
improving our present civic-economic
organization, the First Russian Semi­nar
will make a strong appeal. In
the case of Soviet Russia, more than
ever before, it is necessary to see in
order to understand. So many con­flicting
reports emanate from Russia,
tempered with propaganda, or per­sonal
prejudice, or both, that the
sponsors of the Seminar believe it
will provide a splendid opportunity
for those who wish to understand the
significance of this gigantic experi­ment
in Communism.
The Seminar will remain in the So­viet
Union for a month after first
having visited London, Copenhagen
and Finland en route to Leningrad,
the first stop of the Seminar in Rus­sia.
The Republic of Russia, which
is the most important unit of all the
union of Socialist Soviet Republics,
will occupy the Seminar for about
two weeks and include a visit to Len­ingrad,
Moscow, Novgorod and Gorki.
There will be a four day trip on the
Volga by river steamer. The Cau­casus
and the "Caucasian Riviera"
will precede the Russian steamer trip
across the Black Sea to the Crimea
for a detailed visit of this region.
The giant dam at Dnieprostroi will be
visited after which the Seminar will
proceed to Kiev by Dnieper River

Goode Relates Fine
Points Coon Hunting
Montgomery, Ala., March 15.—
Coon hunting is a science with Rep.
R. J. "Bob" Goode of Gastonburg,
president of the Alabama Coon Hunt­ers
Association.
With many sport loves, there is no
other one that he gives as close study
or as much attention..
"The sport of coon hunting is like
any other game or sport," explained
Rep. Goode. "It is necessary that
there be a fair understanding of the
purposes, technique and and fine
points to be properly appreciated.
"The primary requisites are coons
and coon hounds, given which, the
sport may be pursued with that de­gree
of satisfaction and success as
the ability of the hound and the en­durance
of the hunter justifies.
"There is no kind of hunting in
which the dog is used for pursuit of
game which requires a higher degree
of ability, skill and training than is
demanded of the coon hound.
"To yield the maximum of sport,
the hound must have the appearance
of a hound; he must have a good ton­gue
on the trail and especially at the
tree; he must have the courage and
endurance to take the hardest kind of
going, such as briars, brush and icy
water; he must have nose enough to
follow the trail under the most ad­verse
conditions, and must have suf­ficient
experience and intelligence to
fathom the wiles of the quarry so
that the tree to which the final re­treat
-is made, is accurately and cor­rectly
pointed out."
The raccoon has put up a brave
fight for existence, eluding traps,
dogs and. guns. Pew animals are
more widely known or excite more
popular interest, than the raccoon.
•New York, N. Y.—Following the
editorial accusation made in the Daily
News of New York University that
one of the members of the college
boxing team, had not received suffi­cient
medical attention following an
injury, the faculty of the school vot­ed
that the staff of the paper should
be removed and the paper suspended.
The meeting of the faculty was held
during the absence of the faculty ad­visor
of the paper, and the recom­mendation
of the board turned over
to the student senate.
Economic And Civic
Affairs Reflected In
Number Of Fires
Hunters are cautioned by the Ala­bama
Game and Fisheries Department
to be careful of fires. Fires not only
destroy timber, " but also destroy
game. Forest fires are the most de­structive
forces faced by wild life.
' The hunter should be careful to
cover his campfire before leaving it,
and extinguish matches and cigaretts
before tossing them away. Help pre­serve
game by preventing fires.
Warden C. F. Hill of Montgomery,
is a Sherlock Holmes with his ears.
He can almost tell by the popping of
the guns whether the game laws are
being violated.
Several days ago he heard shooting
a distance of 14 miles away and land­ed
four game law violators. On an­other
occasion shots he heard a dis­tance
of five .miles away led to the
arrest of four more persons for vi­olating
the game laws.

proteges won two college games, and
they won twice this number against
eight setbacks in the newly-organized
Southeastern Conference.
With a little luck the Bengals
would have emerged victorious in
eight of the conference contests
which they lost. Four of their eight
setbacks in the S. E. S. were by one
point margins.
Auburn's seasonal record for the
past hardwood campaign was six tri­umphs
and 11 losses, two of the three
additional reverses- were by one and
two points.
Captain Ott Speaks
To Legion Auxiliary
Captain E. S. Ott of the military de­partment
spoke on "National De­fense"
at a meeting of the Opelika
American Legion Auxiliary last
Thursday. His talk was a part of the
Washington Birthday observance of
the organization.
Included on the program were vocal
selections by Miss Lamar Padgett,
readings by Mrs. Flay Spann, and
"Respects to the Flag and Its Histo­ry"
by Robert Motley" and Orrin
Brown, boy scouts.
NOTICE!
There will be a meeting of those
interested in a tennis team and those
who would like, to improve playing
conditions here in Auburn at Lang-don
Hall Thursday evening at eight
o'clock.

Montgomery.— Current economic
and civic conditions are often reflect­ed
in the origin of forest fires, ac-.
cording to the Alabama State Com­mission
of" Forestry. Practically all
such fires are caused byN human be­ings,
and the reasons, or lack of rea­son,
responsible for the intentional
burning of other people's proper­ty
are naturally of great concern not
only to the landowner but also to the
general public.
Incendiarism, or the deliberate set­ting
of fires, is one of the chief
sources of damage to forest property.
In 1931 about twenty-four per cent
of all the forest fires occurring dur­ing
the year comprised burnings from
this cause. In 1932, however, only
about thirteen per cent of the fires
were attributed to incendiarism.
It is probable that a number of
factors entered into the situation re­sulting
in this reduction. The educa­tional
campaign carried on by public

and coordinated agencies has been
particularly effective with the young­er
generation. With the passage of
years the younger people are matur­ing
and forming a greater proportion
of the active rural population', with
the result that a smaller percentage
of trie woodland residents are dispos­ed
to set fires.
Another factor that enters intp the
situation is that current uses of tim­ber
for domestic and commercial pur­poses
include much smaller sized trees
than formerly. Since these are the
trees most easily damaged by fires,
the fact that they constitute mer­chantable
material undoubtedly n as
acted as something of a deterrent to
wilful burning.

Marie Paris Featured
In Vaudeville Friday
Miss Marie Paris, who is featured
in the all girl revue which is coming
to the Tiger Theatre, Auburn, Ala.,
acts as mistress of ceremonies and
also directs the musical sweethearts.
Miss Paris, a native of St. Louis,
started her careei-with the St. Louis
Municipal Opera Company. During
the season of 1926, Marie had an im­portant
part in Oscar Hammerstein's
Operetta, "Rose Marfe".
Mr. C. B. Cochran (an English pro­ducer)
interviewed and- immediately
thereafter signed Miss Paris to fill a
role in his production of "Castles In-
The Air" to play in London. Liking
musical. comedy so well, Marie ac­cepted
an attractive offer from the
Messrs. Shuberts, and toured with
one of the Shuberts' hits, "The Mad
Cap", starring Mitzi.
The late Florenz Ziegfeld drafted
her for his "Rio Rita" to play in Aus­tralia
during the seasons of 1928 and
1929. Miss Paris spent the seasons
of 1*930 and 1931 touring R. K. O.,
Loew, and Orpheum circuits in the
United States.

Cigarette advertising, too, has its tricks.
Consider the illusion that "Flavor" can be
achieved by some kind of magical hocus-pocus
in manufacturing. .
EXPLANATION: Just three factors control
the flavor of a cigarette. The addition of arti­ficial
flavoring. The blending of various to­baccos.
And the quality of the tobaccos them-

selves. Quality is by far the most important.
Domestic cigarette tobaccos vary in price
from 5^ a pound up to 400 a pound. Imported
tobaccos vary from 500 a pound to $1.15.
No wonder, then, that cigarettes differ in
taste—since distinctive, pleasing flavor de­pends
so largely upon the blending of the cost­lier
tobaccos.
It is a fact, well known by leaf
tobacco experts, that Camels
are made from finer, MORE EXPENSIVE
tobaccos than any other popular brand.
Try Camels. Give your taste a chance to sense
the subtle difference that lies in costlier to­baccos
. . . a difference that means all the
world in smoking pleasure... in pure, un­alloyed
satisfaction.
