According to present plans, initia­tion
exercises for the new pledges will
be held sometime next week.
The present membership of the local
Alpha chapter includes the names of
many men who are prominent in en­gineering
courses. The fraternity
came to this campus in May 1920.
Since that time Tau Beta Pi has com­manded
a ranking position among the
honor societies on the Auburn campus.
Each year this group of engineering
students is instrumental in bringing
prominent engineers and lecturers to
Auburn, and in sponsoring Engineers'
Day and the Honor Societies Ball.
The purpose of the association is
"To mark in a fitting manner those
who have conferred honor upon their
Alma Mater by a high grade of schol
arship as undergraduates, or by their
attainments at alumni; and to foster
a spirit of liberal culture in the engi
neering schools of America."
Two elections are held each year,
one from the upper eighth of the Jun
ior Class during the second semester,
and the other from the upper one-fourth
of the senior class during the
first semester.
Besides scholastic requirements,
such qualifications as character and
leadership are taken into considera­tion
in the election of new members to
the organization.
William W. Beck, president of
Alpha Chapter, left Auburn this
morning for Chicago where he will
attend the Tau Beta Pi convention
which will be held pn Thursday, Fri­day
and Saturday of this week. Wh^e
in Chicago, Beck will also represent
the Plainsman at the Associated Col­legiate
Press Convention at the La-
Salle Hotel.
KAPPA ALPHA CHAPTER

KELLEY SPEAKS ON
RUSSIAN PROBLEMS
Relations Club Hears Speaker
In Address On Soviet Union
Tuesday Night
The International Relations Club
met Tuesday night, Oct. 10, in Sam-ford
Hall at which time was held the
first business meeting of the year fol­lowing
a talk by Marion Kelley n
"Sixteen Years of the USSR". In the
business meeting, which was confined
to the bona fide members of the Club,
new pledges were considered and vot­ed
upon. After the next meeting a
complete roster of new members will
be issued.
In the discussion of the Soviet Un­ion,
Mr. Kelley, a graduate student in
the School of Science and Literature,
reviewed the development of the Un­ion
since the momentous revolution of
Oct. in 1917—exactly sixteen years
ago this month. "This creation of
a Socialist State", explained-Mr. Kel­ley,
"comprised the creation of a
classless society, a land of absolute
social and economic equality, based on
State-owned means of production, dis­tribution,
and exchange included in a
general plan for conducting the en­tire
economic organization. The im­pelling
aim of the new state is found
in the motto, 'From each according
to his ability, to each according to his
needs', which is the most advanced
state of communism. The Soviet Un­ion
is in the initial phase of this ad­vance."
Referring to the revolution of 1917,
Mr. Kelley pointed out the fact that
the leaders were faced with a lack of
any previous experiences in history
to draw upon. The Russian state was
torn by the World War, civil wars,
foreign intervention and famine, but
in spite of collossal obstacles won its
struggle for existence.
"The Soviet Union", stated Mr. Kel­ley,
"is a country of worjcers and
peasants whose well being is the
paramount interest of the central gov­ernment.
The palaces of the Czars
are thrown open to them where once
the members one of the most bril-

KEYS ORGANIZATION
PLANS TO SPONSOR
MOTHERS-DADS DAY
Date Is Set As November. 11
When Oglethorpe Meets Ti­gers
In Only Campus Game
CUP BE AWARDED
Silver Loving Cup Be Presented
Fraternity Having Largest
Percentage Parents Present
At a recent meeting of the Keys,
interfraternity social organization, a
plan was worked out for the sponsor­ing
of a "Mothers and Dads Day"
here on November 11th. This was
thought to be a most appropriate date
as Oglethorpe is scheduled to play
Auburn in the only football contest
which ivill be on the campus this year
then.
The purpose of this "Mother's and
Dad's Day" is to get as many parents
on the campus while school is in ses­sion
as possible; the object being to
acquaint the mothers and fathers of
the student body with the various ac
tivities in which their sons and daugh­ters
participate while they are in
school.
To get the maximum number on
the campus the Keys are offering a
loving cup to the fraternity having
the largest percentage of parents here.
Besides conducting the parents
through the activities of a regular
school day and having a college foot­ball
game for them to witness, some
form of special entertainment is be­ing
worked up.
With Oglethorpe rating as one of
the strongest teams of the S. I. A. A.
Conference, this campus game should
prove more interesting than those in
former years.
At this meeting the question of
pledging T;wo freshmen from the
fraternities holding membership in
Keys was brought up and the ribbons
will be given this week end at their
regular fall pledging. By pledging
freshmen there is a new group train
ed each year to take the place of the
graduating members and who will
grow up with the changing campus
conditions.
The pledging activities for this year
will be different in that the organi­zation
has decided to expand and in­clude
all fraternities belonging to the
Interfraternity Council on the cam­pus
on their roll. At present there
are representatives from eighteen
fraternities on the roll.
Year before last year Keys was one
of the sponsors in the_"Go to Church"
program which met with much suc­cess;
two fraternities tying for the
cup.
This "Mother's and Dad's Day" will
serve as Auburn's Home Coming Day
though it has not been officially
designated as such, but as no date has"
been set for Home Coming the Keys
plan on the 11th being a most suc­cessful
contest.
NOTICE!
A meeting of the Parent-Teachers
Association will be held Friday, Oc­tober
18, at 2:30 oclock at the Lee
County High School. Members are
urged to be present.

The Opening Dances here last Fri­day
and Saturday were acclaimed a
huge success by all who had the plea­sure
of attending them. The set con­sisted
of five dances beginning with a
tea dance on Friday afternoon and
ending with a dance lasting until mid­night
Saturday night, iHl being held
in the Alumni gymnasium which was
attractively decorated for the affair.
Gordon Kibler and his .orchestra
were engaged to play for the dances,
and this popular band presented the
best of dance music combined with in­terposed
novelty numbers. The an­tics
of the versatile musicians brought
repeated applause from the dancers.
The decorations for the affair de­picted
scenes at the Century of Prog­ress
Exposition in Chicago, and the
lighting effects were arranged to il­luminate
the floor by reflected light.
The ceiling was draped with a huge
crepe canopy overhanging the entire
floor, and a modernistic chandelier
of varicolored light hung over the
center of the floor. The backdrop be­hind
the orchestra was a scene in
the Streets of Paris, and it was ef­fectively
lighted by concealed spot
'lights. Replicas of buildings at the
fair adorned the entrances, while
aerial cars from the skyride were
mounted on the basketball goals at
either end of the room. The some
motif was carried out in the wall
lights and other adornments which
completed the decorations. Members
of the School of Architecture were the
student contractors who arranged the
decorative effects.
The series of dances began with a
tea dance sponsored by BlueJKey Fri­day
afternoon, at which time a num­ber
of men were tapped by that or­ganization.
The dance Friday night,
lasting from nine-thirty until one-thirty,
was the Sophomore Ball, and
Miss Margaret DeLoach was chosen
by the Social Committee to lead the
grand march at this affair, escorted
by Jimmie Vance, president of the
Sophomore Class. Only members of
the Sophomore Class and their dates
•were allowed to participate in the
grand march.
Scabbard and Blade, honorary mili­tary
organization, sponsored the dance
from eleven until one on Saturday
morning, while Tau Beta Pi, national
honorary engineering fraternity was
host at the tea dance Saturday after­noon.
New men were also pledged
by Tau Beta Pi during that dance.
The series concluded with the Fare­well
Ball on Saturday which lasted
from eight-thirty until twelve. Dur­ing
the entire set, a number of lead-outs
were granted members of the
Sophomore Class.
Over seventy-five girls from va­rious
parts of the South were visitors

Announcement was made today
by Collins Cameron, president of
the Glee Club that college author­ities
are now completing .negotia­tions
with a graduate of one of
the country's better known music
schools, in an effort to secure a
director for the Club, and that he
is expected in Auburn within the
next two weeks. The college has
been in touch with a teachers
agency in Chicago for the past
month in search of a competent
musical director to supervise and
direct Glee Club activities and to
give private lessons.
Regular practices will begin as
soon as the director arrives. Both
old members and those interested

Blue Key Society Hears Address By Professor John W.
Roe At Banquet And Program Following Dance Friday
Blue Key met Friday evening for
a banquet and a program, the speaker
being Prof. John W. Roe. Lieut. H.
L. Watts presided, after the visiting
young ladies and new members were
welcomed by President Edw. R.
White, Jr.
Members and their dates left the
dance Friday afternoon and proceed­ed
to the dining hall above Benson's
where the banquet was- held. The
Friday tea dance of the opening set
was sponsored by the Blue Key soci­ety
which reserves one dance during
the regular series each year.
Professor Roe talked about insti­tutions
of higher learning in Ger­many
where he spent last year ,as
a graduate student. He said that
life, methods, and practices, in some
of the German universities are not
far unlike Auburn and other educa­tional
institutions in this country.
Those present for the program and
dinner were: Lieut, and Mrs. Watts,
Prof. Roe, P. O. Davis, E. R. White,
Jr., and Martha Prince, K. G. Taylor
and Elizabeth Fletcher, Hamp Mor­ris
and Dorothy Geoghegan, Lynwood
Poole, A. D. Howard and Mary Shein-well,

With only three days left before
Auburn's opening conference game of
the season with Georgia Tech in At­lanta,
the Plainsman coaches have or­dered
light drills for the remainder
of the week. The players have been
put through an extensive series of
Sard drills since the game with How­ard
and are about ready to begin de­fense
of their laurels against the
cream of Southern football this fall.
The Tigers suffered a major cas­ualty
last Saturday afternoon in the
loss of Collins Fenton, promising
sophomore guard, who sustained a
broken leg in scrimmage against the
freshmen. Fenton had been running
with the first string at guard, and
had been showing up well. His inju­ry
will add further worries to Coach
Chet Wynne in finding a capable re­placement
for the post left vacant by
the graduation of- Donald Jones.
Mike Welch, an Atlanta boy, might
get the call to start against the Jack­ets
Saturday at this position. He
has shown a general improvement over
his early season form. Other possible
starters at left guard include Commo­dore
Wood and Stumpy Levi.
Several of the players have sustain­ed
minor injuries during the rough
drills which have been staged on
Drake Field the past week and a half,
but only Tiny Holmes, 235-pound
right guard, seems to be seriously
enough hurt to cause Trainers Hut-sell
and Striplin a great deal of wor­ry.
Holmes has been on the sidelines
nursing a stiff knee for the past week,
and it is doubtful that he will be able
to participate in the Tech game very
long.
Holmes' place on the first eleven has
been taken this week by Herbert
"Bing" Miller, 190-pound senior. Mil­ler
is one of the most experienced
players on the squad, and his play
has shown a decided improvement dur­ing
recent scrimmages. Huckaby, a
202-pound sophomore, has also been
groomed to substitute for the injured
Holmes.
Jack Kemp's presence will add con­siderable
strength to the Tiger ends.
With Ariail, Fenton, Kemp, and Hill
in condition the Tiger terminals will
be hard to turn this season.
Frank Darwin (Virginia), Chatta­nooga,
Tenn., will referee the game;
H. W. Sholar (Presyterian), Greens­boro,
N. C, will umpire; H. L. O'Sul-livan
(A. A. C ) , will be head lines­man;
Jim Halligan (Mass. State),
will be field judge, and Reynolds
Tichenor (Auburn), will be the offi­cial
scout for the Southeastern Con­ference.
The Tiger-Yellow Jacket
battle is the outstanding one in the
Southeastern Conference this week.
Advance ticket sales here have been
heavy and it is believed that the Ti­gers
will have two or more thousand
supporters from this section when

issued a warning to all beer dealers
in Lee County that the sale of beer
must stop at once. County Solicitor
Henry Dickinson stated that he was
working in conjunction with Sheriff
Holt and that "any person arrested
for violation of the state beer law
will be prosecuted".
Beer' has been sold openly in Ope­lika

citizens. Sheriff Holt has secured
samples of the beer being sold in the
various establishments throughout the
city and will present them at the
next meeting of the Lee County Grand
Jury.

HONOR MEN
Our congratulations are in order to the
men who have recently been elected to the
several honor fraternities in their respec­tive
fall elections. These men have proven
conclusively that the time which they have
spent in Auburn has not been wasted, and
that they are obtaining more from their
years in college that are quite a number
of the other students here.
It seems to be the concensus of opinion
among the students who do not make any
of the honor fraternities that the elections
are based upon political pull rather than
upon true merit, and that association with
the' men in the organizations is necessary
for election. Whether this opinion is the
outcome of ignorance or jealousy is hard
to say, but it is quite evident that the as­sumption
thus made is totally incorrect.
It so happens that the men who are eligible
for the honorary fraternities are high
minded enough to pick the deserving men
to succeed them; whereas some of those
who make the sarcastic remarks about
honors and do the perpetual slandering
might be inclined to pick the first man who
would present them with a gallon of stump
juice.
And then there is the question, "What
are honor fraternities good for?" Honor
fraternities are founded for definite pur­poses
and in most cases these purposes are
carried out. Primarily they are for the
purpose of recognizing the outstanding
men in the various collegiate activities, but
secondarily they seek to bring a closer re­lationship
between the students and' the fac­ulty
and to further certain causes which
are for the good of the institution. Inci­dentally,
the honor fraternities on this
campus are constantly working toward that
end.
Careful research has proven that the men
who are the leaders in college are the men
who will be most likely to succeed in the
business world. This alone would prove,
then, there is some material value to be
derived from the organization of honor fra­ternities;
since the natural desire for self
satisfaction and recognition leads the un-declassmen
to work toward that end, know­ing
that later on, they may have a better
opportunity to succeed than do some of the
others who calmly sat back in college and
tried to make fun of the more energetic
and progressive members of the class.
REGISTRATION
On October 11, 12, and 13 the books of
Beat 6, of which Auburn is a part, will be
open at the city hall for the registration
of voters. A recent check of the voters of
this beat shows that three hundred and
twelve men and one hundred eighty-three
women are qualified voters, while approxi­mately
five hundred men and three hundred
women are eligible to qualify.
It should be pointed out that it does not
cost anything to register, the only charge
coming in the form of poll tax which is pay­able
at a later date; and that the entire
revenue from poll tax is used for the sup­port
of education in this section.
There has been a great amount of inter­est
manifested in the condition of the local
school system and there has been a great
amount of energy expended toward procur­ing
a full school term for the children of
this district. There is no surer way to aid
education here than to register and to pay
poll tax; and the citizens who are so anx­ious
for their children to enjoy the benefits
of public education should be the first to
call at the city hall this week.
The local Kiwanis Club is to be commend­ed
on the action which its members have
taken toward furthering the cause of edu­cation
through the registering of voters
here in Auburn.
EX-PRESIDENTS
The recent rumor, so quickly refuted,
that Mr. Hoover was slated soon to replace
Mr. Wilbur as president.of Stanford Uni­versity
must raise again in the minds of
many that problem of public life—what
should our ex-presidents do? It might be
well to consider what certain of our presi­dents
have done after leaving office.
John Quincy Adams, after his term, re­turned
to public life and became a leader in
Congress. Surely a term in the presidency
can give a man that influence, dignity and
understanding which make a political lead­er
into a public servant instead of a mock­ery
of that seldom-fulfilled term. Adams
furnishes an excellent precedent for our ex-presidents.
\
Another possibility is suggested by the
example of William Howard Taft, who,
following his defeat for re-election, became
Kent Professor of Law at Yale University.
Grover Cleveland also associated himself
with a college (Princeton) .after his retire­ment
from office. In college life the ex-president
would lend prestige to his posi­tion.
Suggestions from a man of such cali­bre
would be heeded. Thus the ex-president
may be a very great factor for the good
in the college.
An example which Mr. Hoover may do
well to avoid is offered by his immediate
predecessor in office. When a man, espec­ially
one who ordinarily has a reputation
for silence, ventures to comment and criti­cize
for a great public and strays from
those fields in which he is well versed, the
result is seldom pleasing to anyone.
These are mere examples of what has
happened in the past. Whatever Mr. Hoov­er
does do, it is to be hoped that a man of
his capacity does not retire from all public
activity, when he might well be of great
utility in some field.—Minnesota, Daily.
EXTRAVAGANCE
There are many, many different ways in
which a person can be extravagant but the
worst and most deplorable type of extrava­gance
is the squandering of money that is
not one's own but money that was earned
by the honest sweat from some other per­son's
brow.
The question may arise as to why this
topic of discussion is taken up by a college
paper. The reason is simple. A school
paper is for students and many students
are guilty of the crime mentioned above—
that of spending foolishly the money en­trusted
to the students to be used in the
preparation for life.
When a student leaves to go to college,
he is given the blessing of hopeful parents,
who have a sacred trust in their child—
that he will try hard to learn while at
school and not be guilty of spending their
hard earned money unwisely.
When the boy or girl arrives at college
he or she duly pays to the school money for
tuition and fees. At this point, the Univer­sity
starts paying back to them the money
spent at matriculation time, but in a vast­ly
different form. The professors hand out
the paid-for goods six days out of the week,
in class rooms, in the halls, and even in
their own homes at night, if students are
interested enough to get them. But some
students won't even attend regularly the
classes; others won't listen and try to ab­sorb
in the classroom; and still others will
neither study, listen nor attend. These
three divisions are among those commonly
known as squanderers, and of the lowest
type at that.
Let's not forget that sacrifices are be-

Organizations
PHI KAPPA PHI
The Phi Kappa Phi Honor Society is a
national honor society organized for the
purpose of encouraging scholarship and
originality among students. Members of
the senior class who have made high aver­ages
in all subjects during the four years
of their college courses are eligible if they
meet the other requirements of character
and individual initiative, as demonstrated
by usefulness and prominence in worthy
student and college activities.
A committee, composed of faculty mem­bers
of Phi Kappa Phi, elects the candi­dates
each year from among the members
of the student body and the faculty. Until
last year, election was during the second
semester, but November thirtieth was the
date of the last election. At that time
some twenty-odd seniors and three faculty
members were taken into the fraternity.
The initiates are awarded certificates of
membership and keys at a formal public
meeting held for that purpose a short time
after the annual election.

I see by the papers where several of my
old high school friends have agreed to love,
honor, and eat burnt toast together until
death do them part. I wish them much
happiness, but fail to see wherein there is
any enjoyment in always taking the same
girl to a football game or dance. Or do you
dance after marriage?
Anyway reading about such things in the
daily press happens to put blistering ideas
into my head, and am almost tempted to
phone and propose the same to one who has
a potash-in-the-pea-soup-voice. Until I
think that if I am eating a pickle at 1 A.
M. and she wants half of it she'll probably
cry because she sure as hell won't get any
and her eyes are green and faded green
don't look good and I am sorry, but I tried
to get several people to tell me something
to write about and they didn't know any­thing,
and I called down on Gay Street to
get the latest dirt, and for once they failed
me, and they ain't been gossiping down
there lately because they ain't caught their
breath because of the dances, but soon as
they do they'll know all about why several
dozens of people got on the black list and
I'll find out.
And the editor didn't know anything to
write about and we read the daily paper
and saw where pistols are not sold anymore
in Chicago, nor machine guns, because the
underworld is gettin' tougher, and they can
only use sawed-off shotguns on them now,
and then they have to shoot a guy sixty-five
times, and then he lives for an hour
or so and can tell who shot him. Down
here we are babes-in-the-briar-patch; a
sorrowing wife only has to shoot her hus­band
one time with a small pistol, and he
folds up and doesn't bat an eye and is plant­ed
the next day.
And was really not trying to think of
anything to write about as I was thinking
of a plan to beat Kelland's style, who is
the best short story writer in the country
today. And have almost succeeded. And
expect to have enough money from the idea
by next Spring to buy the Social Committee
and get Lambardo down here. Or if I
don't we can sell Ramsay to the S. A. E.'s
for an extension and probably get enough
out of them to get Garber, anyway.
* * * *
Weuld like to suggest, in all seriousness,
that hereafter we have only one big dance
a year. That will give the bootlegger time
to get a little age onto his produce, and will
give the book-poor student time to save a
little money to make the dances.
I'm not going to say that the orchestra
was lousy, as I didn't go about or around
the gym the whole week-end. And I don't
know. And the reason I didn't go and the
reason somebody took my girl (who is a
fool) is because I didn't- have the money
to go. But if there had been playing for
the dances such an orchestra as Guy Lom-bardo,
Jan Garber, Wayne King, Cab Cal­loway,
Isham Jones, Joe Sanders, or Jack
Denny; I would have pawned this type­writer
or sold my stamp collection and I
would have gone and danced with the Sport
Editor's girl.
Who wants to go to a dance this time
of the year when most of the student body
is like me and had rather save up and go to
Atlanta or Washington or New Orleans?
The best time of the year to have a big
dance is in the Spring when there is noth­ing
at all doing. The money spent on medi­ocre
orchestras for the other two dances
could all be spent on this one. And more
money could be allowed for the decorations.
The decorations were admirably done for
the money spent but what can you expect
for fifty dollars?
Maybe some of you are like the co-ed who
went to the dances and didn't notice the
music, but most of us are not.

let us not forget that sacred trust placed
in us, and let us not be guilty of wasting
our own or somebody else's money, time,
or opportunities. Let's get all that we can,

and in the extra curricula activities. We

If you have ever noticed the salvation
army going around soliciting money to
help feed the poor you will be able to pic­ture
the scene that is going on at the U.
of South Carolina . . . Because of the south­ern
conference ruling which prevents the
colleges from feeding the football players
fee, it was necessary for the student body
to contribute the amount needed to feed the
players.
The Gamecock, student publication at
South Carolina, states that quite a few of
the lovelier sex were seen all over the
campus selling tags to the students to raise
the necessary money. Each student was
asked to buy at least jone of these tags, cost­ing
twenty-five cents and having the fol­lowing
inscription on it: '100 per cent U.
S. C. Supporter!
As a result of this campaign $127.35 was
raised, and although this was not all that
was expected, officials of the drive thought
the campaign very successful, especially
since it was just to be a forerunner of
many similar events.

There was a hot time in the old town
at the University of Minnesota last Wed­nesday
night. Mobs of students and towns­people
paraded in front Hi the President's
mansion with placards and torch lights.
The cause of the action was the state legis­lature
voting $90,000 to the University to
spend as they saw fit. The trouble began
when one faction of the student-body want
ed the money put in the building of dormi­tories,
while the other group, which was
composed of fraternity men who had their
own houses and who wouldn't benefit by
dormitories, wanted the money put in some­thing
that they could enjoy. This fight
became so strong that a delegation of the
students went before the state legislature
and a committee has been selected to be
sent to Washington to put the case before
congress.
Auburn is not the only school that has
trouble in deciding how to spend its money.

Has women on the brain.

Superstitution versus a touchdown.
Mines has never indulged in the habit
of having superstitions but at the last game
with D. U. some of the students conceived
the idea of throwing a horse shoe over the
goal post.
Whether or not it was chance or fate,
the goal posts that were used for the cere­mony
were on the line that Mines made
their first touchdown.
At the coming Western State game the
same ceremony will he carried out. A Mines
blanket will be held behind the goal posts
and 'the horse shoe thrown into it.
Whether or not the ceremony means any­thing,
it should be ballyhooed and given a
big hand from the students. Such a cus­tom
falling upon a time of success as Mines
will enjoy in the coming football games
starts a tradition and should we win most
of our next athletic encounters, a psycho­logical
pit fall unfolds for the opponents.

IT FEELS rather funny to begin one of
these things after such great men as
Gum, Derf, Haakon and Alexander Pro-fore
me, but I suppose they all felt the same
vost, and Conscientious Cletus have gone be-way
when they started out. By the way,
speaking of Cletus—he was truly a great
man. He caused a bigger disturbance on this
campus than anyone who has anticeded
him, in spite of the fact that two cute fresh-ies
tried to beat his record with an unusual
and ill timed show of enthusiasm in the
Howard football matinee recently.
It is true that Cletus did tramp upon
several peoples toes, but we must remem­ber
that he had big feet. At least he had
some definite ideas about what was going
on around him and what changes he-thought
ought to be made. Most of this
bunch is in so dense a fog that when an
idea does gleam through the darkness, they
think it is a will-o-the-wisp and make no
effort to run it down for investigation.
That conscientious former columnist was so
outspoken in his beliefs that he caused the
entire student body to stay awake in class
for over a week and talk about his writ­ings,
rather than dose in blissful ignorance.
What we need is another dynamic col­umnist
to wake the town up again, despite
the fact that the time for hibernating for
the long cool spell is almost upon us. How­ever,
I will make no attempt to fill Cletus'
shoes (my feet are not large enough), and
only offer the above statement for the
benefit of some more energetic person.
The truth of the matter is that I'd rather
sleep.

After dusting off the old slide rule and
indulging in some careful computations, a
study schedule for the first semester has
been figured out. Can't study this week
because of the approaching Tech game, so
will put off the start for another week.
Won't be able to study the next week be­cause
the Tech game will have to be re­played
and the mistakes of all the players
pointed out, and there will necessarily be
some bets to be laid on the George Wash­ington
game. Impossible to study the next
week because that might affect the rigid
training that will have to be undergone
before the trip to New Orleans. It will
take two or three weeks and some more
football games to get over the trip to the
Crescent City, and then it will be too close
to Thanksgiving to start studying. After
Thanksgiving it will take two weeks to
finish picking an All-American team which
will be much better than the Associated
Press pick, and with only one more week
remaining before the Christmas holidays,
might just as Well wait until the new year
to get si fresh start. After Christmas we
will find that it is too late to start study­ing
so we will just make some gilt edged
resolutions for the second semester. What
do they have first semesters for anyhow?

The Social Committee was even more sur­prised
than the student body when they
found out that Kibler's orchestra was bet­ter
than any Opening or Final Dance or­chestra
that has been here in the last three
years. And were they surprised when they
found out that they wouldn't have to ask
the classes for enough dough to present the
two remaining sets of dances!

Suggestions for the use of the funds of
the two lower classes, since they did not
see fit to follow in the footsteps of the
older and more intelligent students who
supported the student government associa­tion:
1. Start a fund to buy uniforms for the
battalion of dogs that makes drill every
period. White sam browns suggested.
2. Build a stadium so the football team
can play more games in Auburn.
3. Furnish all students with either bi­cycles,
skates, or kiddie cars so it will be
easier to make classes. The Kappa Alphas
especially would appreciate this.
4. Buy the class officers gold crowns so
that they may be recognized on the campus.
5. Build a new water tower for the bene­fit
of the freshman class so it will not be
necessary to paint over the senior numerals
each year.
6. Buy a special train for the use of the
student body and band in making football
trips.
.7. Build a bar in every fraternity house,
since prohibition appears to be on the de­cline.
.
8. Put a nickel plated stump on Toomer's
corner for politicians to speak from. A
patented cigar-hander-out might also be
placed in the vicinity.
9. Mount a bronze plaque on the wall in
Langdon Hall stating the date when the
Lambda Chi Alphas had a telephone put
back in. The new telephone number and
the hero who sponsored' this progressive
move might also be mentioned on the plaque.

WEDNESDAY, OCT. 11, 1933 THE P L A I N S M AN A L A B A M A P O L Y T E C H N I C I N S T I T U TE P A G E T H R EE
Last week the Grand Army of the
Republic, meeting in St. Paul, con­demned
the practice of the Daughters
of the Confederacy of presenting a
Robert E. Lee sword each year to a
West Point Cadet, urging the govern­ment
to discontinue the practice. An­other
resolution disapproved of the
sale of Stone Mountain half-dollars
at the World's Fair.
I wholeheartedly agree with the G.
A. R. that such practices are inimi­cal
to the best interest of these fair
United States, and though not anti-
Southern, I approve most unqualified­ly
of any well-meaning bigotry, and
beg to suggest that at their next con­vention,
the G. A. R. consider the
following resolution.
"We, the G. A. R., being of sound
mind, advocate the following reforms
as essential for the welfare of our
country:
"Inasmuch as it is a fact that some
Irish fought on the side of the Con­federates
during the Civil War, we
suggest that linen hereafter be made
of cotton, and the use of flax be made
illegal. We also suggest that the im­portation
of British articles be made
illegal because the British supported
the Confederacy.
"Apropos of this, some public spirit
ed organization should have the
Statue of Liberty dumped into New
York harbor. We should not forget
that the French opposed us in the
French and Indian War. And as a
suggestion to the populace, remember
the Maine when you are tempted to
buy Spanish wines.
"We beg to report that California
beat us to the draw in a constructive
Japanese policy, but the country is
still flooded with Japanese trinkets.
One hundred percent Americans will
not buy these sweat-shop made ar­ticles,
as we have no sweatshops in
our noble country.
"We urge that our one-hundred-percenters
remember that we are the
greatest race on earth, and never for­get
that the South is our backward
section. We feel for the innocent
Scottsboro boys. We feel for the Gas-tonia
and Harlan strikers. We are
glad that in the North and East we
have no strikes, crime, or corruption.
We must concentrate on the South,
and raise their standard of civiliza­tion
to that of ours. We believe that
by asserting our beliefs, a better un­derstanding
will be promulgated be­tween
us, and we shall dwell in the
house of i he Lord forever because we
won the Civil War. Amen."

AUBURN'S ANSWERS TO
THE FOREIGN UEGION
Should America's youth be subject­ed
to 'the snares and pitfalls, horrors
and hell of the Foreign Legion? No!
Women have been the cause of nine­ty-
five per cent of these tragedies—
directly or indirectly. Now the wo­men
are here; we can't do anything
about that part of it, but we can have
and have a substitute for the foreign
legion which has all its advantages
and none of its disadvantages and
dangers.
Are women necessary? To a cer­tain
degree, yes. But not nearly so
as they fancy themselves.
Broken hearted lovers, forget your
troubles and forget the women. Free
yourselves. Don't be downtrodden
and cramped for finances, or have to
give an account for all your actions.
Be a man, not a pansy! Stand up
for your rights! (you have a few,
remember).
You may ask, how? Just come to
the DAM PHI DATA h"buse between
8:00 and 9:00 P. M. tomorrow (the
time when all pansies will be calling
for their respective squaws) and
make arrangements for joining the
fraternity. The fees are nominal.

The Alpha Iota Chapter of the Phi
Lambda Upsilon national honorary
chemical fraternity launched the ac­tivities
of the Auburn Chemical So­ciety
at a smoker given in the Ross
Chemical Laboratory on Monday, Oc­tober
9, 1933. A group of students
of Chemistry, Chemical Engineering,
Pharmacy, and Pre-Medical, as weil
as the faculty members of these re­spective
departments attended. The
crowd exceeded one hundred.
The program was arranged by Roy
Brewer and Ray Evers. Tea was
served in beakers and stirring rods
were used for spoons. After the re­freshments
cigars and cigarettes were
passed out to everyone.
The program, with William Beck
serving in the capacity of toastmas-ter,
began with a number of selections
played on the accordion by Aaron
Orenstein. J. Frank Moore, presi­dent
of the chemical society, made a
short talk in which he expressed his
thanks to Phi Lambda Upsilon for
their hospitality of the evening. Pro­fessor
Herbert Martain spoke in be­half
of Dean C. L. Hare who, due to
illness, was unable to be present.
Dr. Herman Jones, speaker of the
evening, made an informal address to
the society explaining the purposes of
Phi Lambda Upsilon and extending
a welcome to students in—chemistry
on behalf of the Chemical Society.
Officers of the fraternity are Wil­liam
Beck, president; James B. Hill,
vice president; Ray Evers, secretary;
Prof. Herman Jones, treasurer; and
Prof. Roger Allen, faculty advisor.

FUNCHESS-ASKEW MARRIAGE
OF OCT. 8, 1932 IS ANNOUNCED
Dean arid Mrs. M
Auburn, announce the marriage of
their daughter, Jean Eloise, to Wil­liam
Marvin Askew, Jr., of Auburn,
at Oneonta, Alabama, October 8,
1932.
The marriage was a complete sur­prise
to the many friends of the
young couple here. It had been kept
secret one year.
Mrs. Askew is a senior in home
economics at Alabama Polytechnic
Institute here. She is a member of
the Kappa Delta sorority and
prominent in campus activities.
Mr. Askew graduated in Pre-medi
J. Funchess, of cine in the School of Science and Lit­erature
at Alabama Polytechnic In­stitute
last June, and is now a stu­dent
in the College of Medicine at the
University of Alabama at Tuscaloosa.

liant courts in Europe were only per­mitted.
Agriculture is being organiz­ed
on a collectivistic basis, and grad­ually
the peasants are losing their old
fear of the return of fuedalism".
Turning to personages in the So­viet
Union, Mr. Kelley revealed the
"paradox of Trotsky" who is the "for­gotten
man" of Russia. Trotsky, once
the wielder of the greatest power in
the world, that of the Red Army, was
exiled because of his extreme views
and refusals of» moderation. Though
one of the leading figures in Soviet
circles, he is today in exile in Turkey,
the only country which permits his
residence and when permitted in
France last summer, he was guarded
and watched to prevent any agitation
or disturbances which he might create.

PROGRAM FOR CAMPUS GROUPS
Basketball, Volley Ball, Baseball, and Tennis Tournaments
To Be Held and Winners Be Presented Loving Cups, Ac­cording
To Present Plan
The Womens Athletic Association
is planning an intra-mural program
for the sororities and other co-ed or­ganizations
on the campus. Plans are
in order for a volley ball, basketball,
baseball, and tennis tournaments. This
program is subject to change or to
the addition or other activities.
A loving cup will be awarded to
the winning organization, who holds
the cup until won by some other or­ganization.
At the end of the year
the cup will be awarded to the group
who has had it a greater number of
times during the year.
The W. A. A., hopes that every or­ganization
will cooperate with them
in sponsoring this program.
The W. A. A. was organized on the
campus in the spring of 1932. The
purpose of the organization is to
create more activities among the co­eds.
There were eleven new members
initiated October 2. They were: Jane
Slack, Mildred Wadkins, Mary Louise
Ham, Louise Smile, Lois Brown,
Helen Gardiner, Elizabeth Lawson,
Gwendolyn Williams, Mary Craw­ford,
Ruth Jones, and Velma Patter­son.
