Semi-Weekly Plainsman Wednesday Edition THE PLAINSMAN TO FOSTER THE A U B U R N S P I R IT Horse Show This Afternoon VOLUME LVII AUBURN, ALABAMA, WEDNESDAY, APRIL 25, 1934 NUMBER 52 ANNUAL R. 0. T. C. HORSE SHOW WILL BE STAGED TODAY Many Riders To Take Part In Demonstration This Afternoon Beginning At Three CUPS BE GIVEN Nine Events Will Be Held; Open Jumping With Officers Participating Feature The annual R. 0. T. C. horse show will be given this afternoon at 3 p. m. with a large number of riders taking part in the demonstration. Many events have been planned which include exhibition riding and jumping and will give all riding classes an opportunity to display their skill in horsemanship. There will be eight Judges on the field to choose the winners of each event. The first event will be a sophomore exhibition ride with fifty-four men slated to participate. Following this event will be junior jumping, which will include five three-foot jumps. Those juniors in this event include Wood, Turnipseed, Morris, Martin, Cooper, Bagley, and Nelson. The third event will be three gaited riding for girls including Helen Pranke, Sarah Hooper, Mary McGehee, Frances Mc- Gehee, Sylvia Shuptrine, Jane Slack, Dabney Hare, Prances Ashurst, Martha North Watson, Virginia Yar-brough, Elizabeth Fletcher, Martha Jane Bradford, and Miriam Toulmin, competing for the prize. • Other events in the order in which they come include senior jumping with McCollum, Chapman, Donivan, Bowen, Mitchell, Aldredge, Fuller, Franklin, and Reese; a polo pony stake race; pair jumping, with a lady and gentleman jumping together. The ladies and their partners in this event are Frances McGehee with Ira Franklin, Mary McGehee with L. N. Aldredge, and Helen Franke with L. B. Donivan. To determine the best polo pony is the next event followed by ladies' jumping, with Frances McGehee, Mary McGehee, Dabney Hare, and Helen Franke competing. Other events are a polo pony bending race and open jumping by Major Franke, Capt. Gunby, and Lieut Phelps, making nine jumps, 4% feet high. The last event, always an interesting one at a horse show, is the musical chair in which each man dismounts and dashes for a chair the minute the music stops. Each time there is one man eliminated as the number of chairs is always one less than the number of men. There will be fifty-four entrants in this event. Silver loving cups will be awarded to the winners of the competitive events. LIL LIL KILLED WHEN STRUCK BY LIGHTNING Lil Lil, thoroughbred mare belonging to the U. S. Army, was instantly killed last Thursday afternoon when hit by a bolt of lightning which struck a telephone pole on Drake Field and bounded through the open doors of the stables. Hipustrade, p r i v a te mount belonging to Captain Gunby, was knocked down by the bolt and is still in a serious condition. Lil was considered one of the best horses in the stables and was frequently used by Major Pranke. He rode her in the Atlanta Horse Show last year at which time she won first place in the jumping events and was one of the three horses on the winning hunt team. She had also won a number of other ribbons in various meets. Major Franke stated that he was pointing her for the Horse Show this year and that her death is a severe blow to the chances of the Auburn entrants. Hipustrade is also a prise winner, and one of the best jumpers in the stables. He has been showing up exceedingly well in recent practices, and he, with Lil, had been regarded as almost certain winners in the coming show. Even should he recover from the severe shock that he received, it is doubtful that he will be in condition to enter the show. Memorial Day Services To Be Held Tomorrow Confederate Memorial services will be observed in Langdon Hall. at eleven o'clock on the morning of Thursday, April 26, according to an announcement recently made public. A special program has been arranged for the occasion and individuals have been appointed to make arrangements for the day. Major G. H. Franke has been named Marshal for the day, with Doctor Petrie in charge of the eleven o'clock program. The program includes an invocation by Rev. Sam B. Hay, a solo, "Maryland, My Maryland," sung by Collins Cameron, and a feature address by Dr. H. V. Carson. Sar-geant Moxham will sing, "There Is No Death," and the benediction will be given by Rev. Hay. In the afternoon, at four-thirty, the Girl and Boy Scouts will decorate the local monument and soldiers plot. , WIDE VARIETY OF COURSES OFFERED IN SUMMER TERMS Sessions Are Scheduled From June 4 To July 13 And July 16 To August 18' WIN, TIE SCORED IN POLO MATCHES Varsity Unable To Hold Early Lead As Ramblers Defeat Wimbledon Club Against a much improved team from the Wimbledon Club of Mobile, the varsity polo team and Army Ramblers were only able to draw a tie and a one point Victory, respectively, in the two matches played here over the week-end. The varsity met the Mobile team Saturday afternoon, and after obtaining an early lead, used a number of reserves. Auburn went into the final period with a two point lead but was unable to stem the determined rush with which the Mobile team scored twice to tie the score. Neither team was able to break the tie in the continuation of the period after the final bell. Colonel Thomas, Charles Boy-kin, and J. G. Burton showed up well for the visiting team, the latter especially, for after playing consistently all through the game, came through in the final period to score the two goals that tied tip the match. For the locals, Justin Morrill played a nice game at the number one position, scoring twice in the first period to give Auburn an early lead. Among the reserves, in addition to Franklin and Aldredge, seniors this year, Strong, Dexter, and Ivey, who are promising candidates for next year, played nicely, holding the score even while they were in the competition. In Sunday's game the tables were reversed, Mobile taking a two point lead in the first period and holding it until the fourth period when Lieutenant Phelps scored twice to put the Ramblers in the lead. The score was again tied in the final chucker by Boykin but Lieutenant Bowman came back with a score shortly before the game ended. Four of the varsity reserves who will be back next year substituted on the officers team and all showed considerable promise. The lineup and scores for the varsity game were as follows: Auburn (7)—Morrill 2, Oel Johnson 1, W. O. Johnson, and Suydam 1 Substitutions: Fincher, Franklin 1, Dexter, Aldredge, Ivey 2, and Strong. Mobile (7)—Spottswood 1, Thomas 1, Boykin 2, Burton 2. Substitutions: Fleming 1. In Sunday's game the line up was for the Ramblers: Phelps 3, Metts, Franke, Gunby 1. Substitutes: Bowman 1, Strong, Briggs, Dexter 1, and Ivey. Total score, 6. Mobile's line up was slightly changed with Thomas 1, Boykin 1, Burton 1, and Fleming. Substitutes: Cochrane,. Spottswood 1, and Merkle 1. Total score, 5. COURSES LISTED One Hundred Ten Instructors To Conduct Three Hundred Sixteen Courses NOTICE! ' There will be a drill by the Student R. 0. T. C.

MANY PRESENT AT NEW ART EXHIBIT Work Of CWA Employed Architects Now On Display In Architecture Building A large number viewed the exhibition now on display in the Library of the School of Architecture and Allied Arts, here, of the Historic American Buildings Survey, recent C. W. A. project for unemployed architects, over the past week-end. This display features a partial accomplishment by drawings and photographs of historic Alabama structures prior to 1860. Many of the most historic buildings are included in tjiis exhibition and the exhibition gives a good cross section of Alabama's past history and which are the only visible signs left of its unusual history of its early days. In some sections of the United States, a large part of the early American architecture has disappeared. Not so in Alabama. While the ravages of the War between the States and occasional fires of individual homes have destroyed a good many, on the whole there are hundreds of these structures still left. Exhibits of the pioneer days, structures of the Tennessee Valley "Gaineswood" at Demopolis, Montgomery and Mobile, also Fort Gaines on Dauphin Island, are creating particular interest. On account of the great interest shown in the exhibition by the public, it will be open both morning and afternoon, including Saturday afternoon of this week, and Sunday afternoon, April 29th. Visitors are welcome and urged to avail themselves of this opportunity. VARSITY DEBATING TEAMS BEATEN IN ORATORY CONTEST University Of Florida Debaters Carry Off High Honors In Collegiate Tourney HESS IS CHAIRMAN Representatives Also Entered In Extemporaneous Speech Contest PIANO RECITAL GIVEN AT PRESIDENT'S HOME A piano recital was given by Mrs. A. S. J. Tucker, of Ft. Benning, .Ga., one of the outstanding women pianist of the South, here Sunday evening at the President's Mansion before an appreciative audience of 60 townspeople and members of college faculty. The recital was arranged by Prof, and Mrs. Karf Hazel, who along with others praised the brilliant technique, beautiful tone, and exquisite interpretation which characterized Mrs. Tucker's recital. On numerous previous occasions Mrs. Tucker has given concerts at Warm Springs and Ft. Benning, where her interpretation of the best in piano compositions brought the unstinted approval of her audiences. She is the former pupil of Henry Casper, of Washington, D. C. Following the recital the guests were tendered a buffet supper with Mrs. Hazel and Mrs. S. L. Toomer serving as hostesses. Coffee was poured at a beautifully appointed table by Mrs. B. H. Crenshaw and Mrs. W. W. Hill. Little Misses Winefred Hill and Margaret Toomer assisted with the serving. Among the out-of-town guests were Major and Mrs. F. A. Hieleman, of Ft. Benning and little daughter, Mar-jorie. Mrs. Tucker played four groups of numbers, as follows: Group I—"Turkish March" from "The Ruins of Athens," Bjeethoven-Rubenstein; "An-gelus," Corelli-Godowsky;'and "Variations Seriuses," Mendelssohn. Group II—"Prelude—A Minor,"" "Girl with Flaxen Hair," and "Reflections in the Water," Dobussey. Group III— "Schorzo" and three preludes by Chopin. Group IV—"Etude r in C Sharp Minor," by Stornberg; "Little White Donkey," Ibert; "Irish Tune from County Derry," Grainger; and "Hobby on the Green," Melton Rufty. Debating the question, "Resolved, That the Powers of the President Should be Substantially Increased as a. Settled Policy," two teams from Auburn clashed with six other varsity teams at the speech tournament held in Birmingham last week. The two men upholding the affrmative for Auburn were Otis Spears and J. C. Ivey, and the two upholding the negative were J. E. DeVaughn and W. G. Hall. Although Auburn failed to place in debating, Prof. Hess, coach of the debating team, stated, "While we didn't rank among the first three, we did credntably well, winning the first debate from Alabama." Auburn upheld the negative in that debate. Nine colleges were represented in debating at the tournament, and each college debated six times. Florida carried off the high honors, winning all six debates. Also included in the tournament were contests between colleges in oratory and extemporaneous speaking. John Liles represented Auburn in the oratorical contest, winning fourth place. W. G. Hall spoke for Auburn extemporaneously. The University of Florida won the oratorical contest and won second place in extemporaneous speaking. The first three days of the tournament, beginning Tuesday, were used in contests between Southern colleges, and the remainder of the week in a meeting of the Southern Association of the Teachers of Speech. Mr. Hess was chairman at the Friday afternoon ENGINEERS WITNESS WELDING SUOW HERE Tuesday and Wednesday, April 24 and 25 the American Society of Mechanical Engineers are giving a demonstration of welding by the Air Reduction Sales Company.

RACKETS TO PLAY AT FORT BENNING PLANS ANNOUNCED FOR SUMMER CAMP AT FORT BENNING Students In R.O.T.C. To Have Six Weeks Camp Starting On June Fourth At Ft. Benning JUNIORS TO ATTEND Complete Staff Of Regular Army Officers Will Instruct Students During Period Auburn Tennis Team Have Match Scheduled W i th Army Five Sunday SUPREME COURT NAMED TO ACT ON INJUNCTION Horace Stringfellow, of Montgomery; A. J. Harris, of Decatur; William G. Caffey, of Mobile; William L. Martin, of Birmingham, and W. O. Mulkey, of Geneva, have been appointed by Gov. Miller to serve on the Special Supreme Court which will act upon the education fund suit. Mr. Stringfellow was appointed to take the place of Judge B. P. Crum, of Montgomery, who was one of the original five appointees, but who recused himself from sitting in the case on account of his law firm's having been connected with the recent litigation in the Circuit and Supreme Courts relating to school funds and involving some legal problems which might arise in this case. With the completion of the round robin tournament, members of the Auburn tennis team are practicing diligently this week for their initial match of the season Sunday, with the Fort Benning team at Fort Benning. Final rankings in the tourney give George Poole Number 1 position, Glenn and Cam Mitchell are tied for Number 2, Claude Pritchett is Number 4, C. W. Hixon is Number 5, Herb Whittle is Number 6, R. P. Russell is Number 7, and Charlie Price, Number 8. The first five men on the team will make the trip to Benning. Poole's Number 1 ranking was not unexpected as he has previously demonstrated his superiority on local courts. Neither were the ratings of Glenn and Cam Mitchell unexpected for in the Interfraternity Tourney last year they won first place. Pritchett is a veteran net enthusiastist at Auburn, having been instrumental in returning tennis to a minor sport standing. C. W. Hixon did provide prospective netmen a surprise as he held Number 2 position during the earlier stages of the tourney, and finally ranked Number 5. Hixon, a newcomer to local courts, played an extremely effective game for it to be relatively so easy, and gave some driving artists considerable trouble until they solved his stroke. Hixon's strongest point is his accuracy and with more speed he would undoubtedly be even higher ranking than he is at present. Herb Whittle, ranking Number 6, was considerably off his game during the earlier games of the competition but improved steadily to' win a coveted position among the eight seeded players. Russell, who, like Pritchett, has done much to put the game on a firm footing, shows a great deal of promise and should be a valuable member of the team during the season. Price is rather erratic but with practice should become an outstanding player. He is only a sophomore. According to an announcement made by the Military Department, the annual R. O. T. C. camp for Junior students in military will be held at Fort Benning, and will last from June 4 to July 15. This period of time will be two weeks lonfier than that of last year. Although official announcement has not been made yet, it is thought that the following officers will attend the camp: Major Franke, Captain Metts, Captain Almguist, Lieutenants Phelps,* Watts, and Huggins of the Field Artillery, and Captain Grower of. the Corps of Engineers. Whether Lieutenant Bowman will go is uncertain in that he may be sent to another post. In a summary of all the students that will attend the camp, including those from University of Alabama, University of Florida, Georgia Tech and Auburn, it was found that there will be approximately 335 present. Over half of this number will be Auburn men. Students will be given the same allowance for mileage as last year, but will receive an increase over last year pay of 5% for June and 10% for July. Another change in the camp will be the removal of the camp site back to the regular R. O. T. C. area. POPULARITY CONTEST IS BEING CONDUCTED FORMER STUDENT HERE ON CAMPAIGNING TOUR Rhea Lapsley, graduate of the class of 1933, was a visitor in Auburn Monday while on a campaign tour in the interest of James M. Bowman, candidate for the Public Service Commission. Lapsley is employed at the Sloss Sheffield Steel and Iron Company in Birmingham in the electrical department, he being a graduate in Electrical Engineering. while an undergraduate here, Laps-ley was very active in scholastic work and extra-curricula events, he being a member of Spades, Omicron Delta Kappa, Tau Beta Pi, Scabbard and Blade, Blue Key, and Phi Kappa Phi. He is a member of the Alpha Tau Omega social fraternity. In recent issues of the Collegiate Digest section have appeared announcements of a new popularity contest which will give two students from each college using the rotogravure section an opportunity to gain nationwide fame. - The Digest and the Parker Fountain Pen Company will award prizes to the winners at each school and their pictures will be featured in a special page in the Digest. In an early issue of the Collegiate Digest will be printed a ballot which all students must use in voting in the contest. The two receiving the highest number of votes will win. At Auburn one boy and one girl will be selected. JOINT "Y" BANQUET IS PRESENTED ON MONDAY A joint banquet of the local student chapters of the Y. M. C. A. and Y. W. C. A. was held on Monday evening in the Eastern Star Hall, with Professor Roe of the Language department acting as toastmaster. Speakers on the evening's program were Mrs. Jolley, Reverend-Sam B. Hay, Professor O. T. Ivey, Professor A. L. Thomas, Miss Sarah Stanley, retiring vice-president of the Y. W. C. A. group; Julian Greer, retiring president of the Y. M. C. A.; Whitfield Rew, newly-elected president of the Y; and Miss Emma B. Sellers, new head of the Y. W. C. A. After the banquet, the group repaired to the Recreation Hall for an informal radio dance. DEBATING TEAM WILL ENGAGE GEORGIA TECH At 7 p. m. Thursday, April 26, the Auburn Debating team will meet Ga. Tech in the Social Center, debating the question, "Resolved, That the Powers of the President Should be Substantially Increased as a Settled Policy." Auburn will uphold the affirmative of this question, supported by Ostic Spears and J. C. Ivey. Both teams are about equal in strength, which will tend to make the debate a very interesting one. The debate will be a non-decision one. P A G E TWO 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 WEDNESDAY, APRIL 25, 1934.

THOMAS JEFFERSON Thomas Jefferson (born April 13, 1743, died July 4, 1826) belongs among the immortals of America and of mankind. The principles of free self-government which he championed have become the bedrock of American civilization, and his constant appeal to reason is still the keynote of a better social order. Of our two great political parties today, one hails him as its founder; the founders of the others—the Republicans—called themselves the true heirs of his teachings. Of middle class upbringing, he hated the eastern aristocracy of Virginia. "He was a product," writes Professor W. E. Dodd, our present Ambassador to Germany, "of the first west in American history." He wrote the Declaration of Independence in the house of a bricklayer, refused re-election to Congress, and entered the Virginia legislature to make his own state democratic. There he brought about the separation of church and state and established the principle of religious freedom which was to become the first statement in the Bill of Rights. He was a great lover of humanity and a champion of the rights of man. He declared his belief "that man was a rational animal, endowed by nature with rights and with an innate sense of justice; and that he could be restrained from wrong and protected in right by moderate powers confided to persons of his own choice and held to their duties by dependence on his own will." His private motto was that of Cromwell: "Resistance to tyrants is obedience to God." As a liberal and a democrat, Jefferson hated the oppression he had seen in Europe, and strove to prevent its rise in America. So accurate was his understanding of the ways of politics and economics that he was 0 able to describe a situation which has given rise to Fascist programs in our day: "The population of England is composed of three descriptions of persons (for those of minor note are too inconsiderable to affect a general estimate). These are, 1. The aristocracy, comprehending the nobility, the wealthy commoners, the high grades of priesthood, and the officers of government. 2. The laboring class. 3. The eleemosynary class, or paupers, who are about one-fifth of the whole. The aristocracy, which have the laws and government in their hands, have so managed them as to reduce the third description below the means of supporting life, even by labor; and to force the second, whether employed in agriculture or the arts, to the maximum of labor which the construction of the human body can endure, and to the minimum of food, and of the meanest kind which will preserve it in life, and in strength sufficient to perform its functions. . . The less dexterous individuals, falling into the eleemosynary ranks, furnish materials for armies and navies to defend their country, exercise piracy on the ocean, and carry conflagration, plunder, and devastation, on the shores of all those who endeavor to withstand their aggressions. A society thus constituted possesses certainly the means of defence. But what does it defend? The pauperism of the lowest class, the abject oppression of the laboring, and the luxury, the riot, the domination, and the vicious happiness of the aristocracy. In their hands, the paupers are used as tools to maintain their own wretchedness, and to keep down the laboring portion by shooting them whenever the desperation produced by the cravings of their stomachs drives them into riots." Jefferson is the proper stuff out of which civilized societies are made. CONVOCATIONS (Co-Ed Editorial) Recently there appeared in this paper an editorial concerning the new tendency of the so-called "Auburn Spirit." The writer was seriously perturbed over the very noticeable and apparent inadvertency of the student body to uphold this excellent tradition. Since it has been always cherished by thousands of students who have gone before, and has been handed down as something to be highly valued and esteemed, this state of disturbance is entirely justified. When one perceives the old order being perverted he usually seeks by means of suggestions and hypotheses to remedy the matter. We wonder then, and venture to offer this suggestion that our long discontinued convocation periods be again resumed. Certainly there would be better chance for the student body to know each other, to become better acquainted. By having a regular convocation every week or every two weeks, we believe that the old "Auburn Spirit" of friendliness, comradeship, and good-will would again appear as it has in the past. Not only for the continuation of Auburn's famed spirit would convocations be a good thing. Much cultural value could be obtained from them, especially if the college would find a means to bring to Auburn interesting speakers from other parts of the country. If this were not possible, our own faculty should suffice to present interesting subjects. We believe that these speakers should not be restricted to heads of departments, deans, and higher officials, but they should include all of the faculty. If each professor talked about a phase of his work, certainly there would be no lack of subjects. In specialization one rarely has a chance to obtain more than what his special line of work-«alls for; therefore, it seems that diversified topics should prove enlightening and interesting. Furthermore, a student convocation should not be without its student representatives; we suggest that talks be made by students. Certainly, the president of the Executive Council or a president of the student body should preside when necessary. The latter would involve electing a president of the student body, but that in itself would probably be a good thing. Other schools have regular convocations and derive benefits from them. It is not strange then that students from these colleges are actually dumbfounded when informed that Auburn has no regular convocations. They inquire with avid curiosity how a school can have unity where there is hardly ever a meeting of the student body. Perhaps the waning of our "spirit" may be directly traced to this source. Why not, then, t ry to remedy this matter by the above mentioned suggestions? Certainly, convocations can do no harm and even if they do not prove a panacea for our recently developed unfriendliness, other important benefits may be derived from them. WORSE THAN THE KU KLUX KLAN ARE THE SILVER SHIRTS Among the organizations which have tried to stimulate their own brand of 100 per cent Americanism was the Ku Klux Klan. This organization gained power by overriding most of the liberties granted to negroes and other non-white races in this country. Now comes William Dudley Pelley and his host of the Silver Legion which is attempting to rebuild an Aryan civilization in America. These Silver Shirts, who have patterned their organization on the Hitler formula, are now busy enlisting scatter-brains for a vigorous anti-semitic campaign. So far they claim a membership of 75,000 and are now moving to equip a strong arm division named the Silver Rangers. Samuel Duff McCoy, writing in Raymond Moley's administration organ Today quotes the following -from the Silver Shirt literature: "The Silver Rangers constitute a great body of picked men, the equal of any constabulary in any of the states, who shall ride shoulder to shoulder toward the support of harassed police and state constabularies, arousing the citizenry to the menace that threatens their stalwart police forces, the thunder of thousands of Silver Shirt horses sounding their own warning tocsins to the real seditionist and the cyndicalist agitator, inspiring faith and hope in the great body of the dizzied, pitchforked and intimidated populace, rallying the great Christian forces of gentlemanliness and manliness in a splendorful gesture to take this country back out of the hands of the alien debauch-ers and give it to the representative democratic citizenry." To the Silver Shirts the Jews are the people who have ruined the country. Pel-ley's organization claims that the NRA, the Federal Reserve bank, the President, and the recovery organization are affiliated with the Jews.

The uplift of setting words to paper is no more. The words now come barefoot and in rags, limping in the dust. * * * * Ho, co-eds, dost not dress in garments calculated to belie the laws of chance? Dost not invite the envy of fellow feminity and the admiration of adolescence? Glorious in the sun are thy calves. Thou bull at night, whilst thou art corraled on the sofa, fairly bellows of empty pastures. Upon thou hide is the ripple of silk hair in curls and eyes lighted like a Greek restaurant. Upon your smile of Sunday Night depends Monday Morning's sunshine, I suppose. One wonders, whilst the moon filters through the screen and onto the coverlet, dost kick slumbering? Dost snatch cover? Dost squawk for light to see if curls are still safely in rolled paper? Wouldst haggle with fishmen, and equal gossip over fences of yards littered with clotheslines? Wouldst wipe the noses of " sniffling whelps, and steer clear of bargain counters? Art fixed for removing gravy spots on vests, and correcting cavities in a man's hose?

How much nicer when one was a freshman ^and believed the world was as good as could be and dandelions were only to grace a greenly carpeted lawn. One had not heard then that t'was the thing to do to assume a look of boredom. One had not heard that quite several of our . co-eds even unto practice the look whilst amid their dreams. T'was the time I dreamed I went to heaven I think, and I saturated with this belief that sits like the Old Man of the Sea upon all of us . . . look bored, my dear . . . was met at the gate by one who said to me that he was the one I had expected would be there, one St. Peter. He seemed to think my knowing who he was would overawe me, but not a whit. No better to me was he than a huckster or stevedore . . . how we students do hate the rabble, the common. "My good man," I heard myself say to him, "of course we live at no similarity with each other, and I admit that a few years ago the mention of your name would perhaps (perish the thought!) actually enthuse me, but my fine fellow, now that I have my own standards I cannot but judge another by them. I cannot remember seeing you at the Junior Prom. What fraternity did you make? Did you make the Kappa Delta Dance? You answer not, my man. You hang your head. I can see you are a commoner. Stand aside and let me pass, and please latch the gate; I see one of the rabble approaching. He, of course, must not come in; he has to work his way through school. He does' not RATE." * * * * That word "RATE." Whenever one student asks another concerning someone else, 'tis: "How does he rate?" An out-of-town girl when asking of a student here asks the same question. What do we mean by the word? Are men to be judged by their fraternity pins, placed upon them by social organizations, not because the man is exceptional, but because the organization has expenses to meet? Too often that has happened. Are men to be elevated in esteem because their people have money which prevents the necessity of their having to work to help defray their college expenses? I In the face of all this balderdash; the average American, be he Jew or Gentile, can sit back and laugh over the Ghosts of the Ku Klux Klan and the re-echoes of Henry Ford's anti-semitic battle of a few years back.

Witk Otker Colleges By BILLIE THOMAS Pasadena, Calif.—A 10-ton mirror for use in a telescope with which science hopes to peer at objects one billion light years away (light travels 186,000 miles a second) and thus see objects as they exist millions of years before any form of life appeared on this planet, is being made for the California Institute of Technology, at Corning, N. Y. Pouring of the molten mass of glass requires ten hours, but that is a short time compared to the year which will be required to cool the great mirror and grind it to proper physical proportions. The success of the experiment depends on the efficiency of an electrically-heated annealing box in which the mirror will rest and cool by imperceptible degrees until some time in 1934. Then the grinding process will take a few more months. Once completed, the mirror will be sent here to be set up on some mountain-side, not yet selected, where it will become the basis for astronomical observations by the California institution and the Carnegie Institute of Washington. * * * * "What have you done," Saint Peter said, "that I should admit you here?"

The motion pictures receive a great part of this extra capital in that they are the principal form of outside amusement. A senior said she spends an average of $2.50 think students, as a whole, are too smug, and only realize, and regret, this attitude upon graduation. I shall remember my talk with a student of two years ago when we were discussing the "caste system" of colleges. He said: "I cannot be discouraged by what people think of me. If I can but respect myself; know that I am doing the right thing; live so my family will not be ashamed of me; then I will not be dismayed when I hear other students say of me: 'He doesn't r a t e . '" monthly on shows, three girls spend $2.00, a sophomore $1.50, and the other four an average of $1.. Much of the college girls' pittance flies away on mail planes and mail trains. The average student spends 75 cents monthly on stamps, but two of the interviewed girls spend $1.50. According to all nine of the students, however, they derive the greatest pleasure from that part of their allowance they spend on food. When asked what their pet economies and extravagances were no girl could think of economy, but seven named "splurges" and feasts as pet extravagances. (Technically speaking, a splurge consists of a movie immediately preceded or followed by dinner in town.) One conclusion to draw from these interviews is the fact that seniors are more extravagant than underclassmen. * * * * There will be no Junior Prom girl this year at M. I. T. The chairman of the committee condemned the practice as "silly," so the boys are going to struggle-along without a queen. Too bad. Another item of interest to Miners is the fact that there is a "Corkage" charge of two-bits for those who bring their own licker.—The Oredigger. * * * * CODE OF ETHICS FOR YOUNG LADIES IN THEIR TEENS AND OUT OF THEM: 1. Never let another woman take your man. Throw him at her. 2. Never take another woman's man, unless you're sure she wants him. 3.

Never love a man for his money, but remember: A woman's best friend is his pocketbook.—Red and Black. * * * * And over at Montevallo the ladies are very much upset over the burning of Lova* man's store in Birmingham. In fact it was so demoralizing that one of the Ala-bamian's staff (editor, or associate editor, for some papers are that well organized) wrote an article expressing the sorrow of the burning of a store at whose corner the Montevallo girls have been meeting for many years in the pass. And so in behalf of the Plainsman staff we would like to express our sympathy to the women of Montevallo. • 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. * * * * THE DANCES. What a taste they left. How desolate the burg without the Daocanalilan three, W, W, and S. And how quiet. The Black Shirts. Where are they now? Wild stories. How many will we hear about the dances. A hundred girls will be endearingly remembered as "Honeys." Jason at the dances, whispering, but afraid to holler, "Boulan-ger." * * * * The famous debate question is upon us again. Is Lown a louse. Lown is not a louse. But he let a shine come up and sing "Stardust," a crime that should incur capital punishment but never will. Bert made his bid for lousedom when he tried to use local talent for a good program. If our local talent was worth a damn, we wouldn't send all the way to N. Y. for a . band to come blow for a few dances. * * * * And I guess you noticed the Bull Fiddle slapper who looked like Jack La Rue, but could beat a better Bull Fiddle than anybody I've saw. Of course your heart palpitated to the red-mouthed bruise-singer. And maybe you, like me, wondered why Bert didn't get a haircut. * * * * But we've got to give the Lown bunch credit for playing those good old tunes as well as new ones. Especially "You're the One I Care For." And I guess you saw him play "Arlene" every dance. It would be simple to rave on and on about the good music. But I hope I'm not simple. Suffice it to say, "Goin' to Heaven On a Mule" was omitted. * * * * I wondered what Bill G. was thinking about while gazing into the starry depths of Gloria's eyes (she had two). It must have been great to attract all that attention, Gloria. No less than fifty sober and sane individuals offered you, Gloria, their nickels and dimes. I heard 'em. And all poor little Gloria got was a sandwich at the SAE house. All over her dress. * * * * But hang it all, I'm glad they're over. * * * * And now about this little matter of the publications offices. If you'll stop to consider the point, you'll realize that popular vote will never decide who is the best man to run a paper or a year-book. The good sport and well liked big shot who runs for the job isn't necessarily the best man for the job. But how are the voters to find out? Politicians will tell you anything. One of them promised me a cigar if he were elected. And forgot about it. They'll tell you modestly that they are quite the hardest working man in the history of institutional journalism, but talk like that absolutely will not write a paper. Let the voters elect the good guys as class president, or historian. But don't lets keep the old policy of letting popular vote put a man at the head of a newspaper. Or an annual. It's all over this year. You were pretty lucky with your publication men. But don't let it blind you to the possibility of a farcical election that may mean you'll read a paper for a whole year put out by somebody who knows nothing whatsoever about journalism. The editor of the largest paper in the world was not chosen by popular vote. He was chosen because he knew the job. And he does right well by his paper because he knows how. Since we do have a college paper modeled after commercial newspapers, why not model the selection of the head man after the commercial way. This may mean that your pal won't be whoosits of the Plainman or whatsis in chief of the Glomerata, but it will mean that you'll get a good set of collegiate literature. However, if your friend must have his job, make another job such as caretaker of the sundial and pay fifty cents more student activity fee. He gets the job, you get a good paper, a good annual, and a well kept sundial. Of course, it all depends on how you like your sun-dials. * * * * And one more crack that is repititive. I grant that it may be oodles of fun to shine oh so brightly on the dance floor. And even more fun to shine in the orchestra pit. But when you get up and murder my favorite Stardust with a voice that should be calling hogs, you've spoiled my whole day. Don't get me wrong. I thought you were awfully cute. So did the girl I was dancing with. But did you hear that great big B-O-O-0 when you got through? That was me. * * * * Only 210 shopping days before Christ- A fifty-to-one bet was won by five Cambridge students who had wagered that they could walk 100 miles in 24 hours and had then proceeded to do it with time to spare.

This effective elimination of the Lambda Chis was the fourth consecutive win of the tournament for Sigma Nu, they having previously beaten Pi Kappa Alpha, Alpha Tau Omega, Sigma Pi. The Lambda Chis never threatened after the second inning when the Sigma Nus amassed a ten ruri total that put them safely out of danger. This scoring display, which was the Sigma Nus' big effort of the afternoon, gave every man on the team one bat at least during the inning, and several members of the Sigma K O D A K As you go.

The Lambda Chis deserve a considerable amount of credit for scoring at all against the hitherto impenetrable defense of the Sigma Nus, and if they had been able to check the barrage of doubles and triples in this one inning, the game would have undoubtedly been considerably more interesting. But the closeness of the game after this bad inning of the Lambda Chis was probably due more to the slowing of the Sigma Nus than the improved play of Lambda Chi. The fielding of Lambda Chi was noticeably erratic; errors playing a considerable part in the scoring of both teams. To give credit to .any one individual on the Sigma Nu team would be unjust to the rest for the team as a unit functioned exceptionally well. Johnnie Bass and Hamp Morris were the leading offensive stars for the Sigma Nus, but others who were not credited with as many hits as these two were just as effective in the HOMER WRIGHT - Drnggi* FROZRITE CREAM SHAMPOO and FING.ER WAVE.

Of all the dual meets Auburn has partcipated in during the last few years none perhaps has provided as many thrills and anxious moments as the one last Saturday with Georgia here on Drake Field. Hero honors go to Loyd Richey, elongated hurdler, high jumper, and for a brief period Saturday, a broad jumper also. After having participated in both hurdle races and the high jump", and winning all three, Richey was pressed into service by Coach Hutsell as a broad jumper. Although he did not win this event, he was able to outjump Green, of Georgia, thus eliminating the Athenian from qualifying, and insuring Auburn of at least a third place in the event, which was enough to win the meet. Mr. Richey then nonchalantly trotted off to the gym, leaving Langdon to participate in the jump and capture the coveted point for the home side. Robert Rutland's record leap over the pole was perhaps the outstanding performance of the afternoon. This is all the more noteworthy when one considers the fact that Auburn's alternate-captain has added almost a foot to his jumping height during this season. He has developed and is still developing under the masterful coaching of Wilbur Hutsell. Rutland will be one of the favorites in this event next week during the Conference Meet in Birmingham. Carl Pihl, also, comes in for commendation for his "iron man" act in winning both the mile and two-mile races. This feat is uncommon, which makes performance all the more remarkable. * * * Auburn will get a chance this week-end to see Georgia Tech's baseball team in action for the first time this season. Tech's two-game series with the Plainsmen Friday and Sat-extra- base quality of their knocks. Sigma Nu's opponents in the finals has not as yet been determined and will not be until Beta Kappa plays the winner of the Phi Delta Theta- Delta Sigma Phi game. Beta Kappa, Delta Sigma Phi and Phi Delta Theta have strong teams and present indications point to a close final game. Delta Sigma Phi advanced to the third round by virtue of a 4-0 defeat of Alpha Gamma Rho. In the tennis tourney Kappa Alpha defeated Alpha Gamma Rho 6-1, 6-1, in a first-round match. Kappa Alpha, represented by Beverly Biggin and Doc Stanley will play Pi Kappa Phi in the second round. Pi Kappa Phi has a strong net combination in James Tyson and Austin Martin and the match between Pi Kappa Phi and Kappa Alpha is expected to close for a second-round contest. urday should prove to be highly interesting. The Tigers will also be performing before the home folks for the first time under their new mentor, Coach Del Morgan. Coach Bobby Dodd will bring a strong outfit to the Plains to oppose Auburn. Tech is reputed to have one of the outstanding teams of the Conference. '* * * Auburn's polo team, one of the best in the South since its organization by Captain Tom Gunby three years ago, seems to be having a hard time scheduling college opponents. It seems that both Florida and Georgia are without polo teams this season, making it practically impossible for the Plainsmen to play teams of college rank. Auburn, however, has performed well against various Army aggregations faced to date. * * * Interest here in polo is on the upgrade. Many students and . townspeople have been attending the contests this year who have never previously viewed the sport. It is hoped that plans for participating in the national championships will materialize. In any event, many here believe that Auburn has one of the outstanding college teams in the country this year.

Auburn's 1934 track aggregation continued the record set in former years by Tiger track teams and defeated Georgia 64-62 in the first dual meet of the year for Auburn, Georgia had previously won three meets. Graham Batchelor, of Georgia, and Loyd Richey, of Auburn, led their respective teams in scoring points; Batcheldor annexing three firsts and a second to be the high scorer of the day, and Richey winning three events to lead the Tigers. Auburn took eight firsts and seven seconds in the meet, Georgia getting six firsts. Georgia, however, made a clean sweep in two events, the 440 and the javelin. Dupree and Pihl each got two firsts, and Rutland took top honors in his event, the pole vault by setting a new school record of 13:4. Dupree, captain of the thinly-clads, won the 100 and century with comparative ease. Pihl's competition in the mile and two-mile came from his teammate, Gait, who pushed, him in both events. Rutland won the pole vault at 12:6 but went on to new heights and a new school record. Auburn's principal weakness as demonstrated by Saturday's meet is in the weight events. Auburn got a total of four points in the shot-put, the javelin and discus combined. Tolve annexed a second place in the shot and Killebrew hurled the discus for a third. Frank Langdon in the broad jump saved the day for Auburn in taking a third in this event. AUBURN HIGH SCHOOL VICTOR IN GAME WITH OPELIKA HIGH Opelika Rally In Ninth Is Cut Short By Brilliant Catch Of Bobbie Wilson; Trotter, Pitching Ace, Strikes Out Eleven And Collects Three Hits IT PAYS To Look Well VARSITY BARBER SHOP We Appreciate Your Patronage Auburn High won its second consecutive victory of the season Friday afternoon in defeating Opelika 8-6. Opelika almost came' from behind in the ninth with a strong finish but this rally was quashed by a brilliant catch at second by Bobbie Wilson. The Auburn nine scored three runs in both the first and second, innings and coasted from there on out, one run more being made in the sixth and ninth. Opelika was blanked until the fifth inning when one run was scored, one being added in both the sixth and eighth innings. In the ninth, however, Opelika got three well-timed hits which netted three runs but advanced no further than this by virtue of Wilson's fly-grabbing exhibition. The hero of the occasion for Auburn was Trotter, who did some very impressive pitching. He fanned the first six men to face him, and struck out five more in successive innings for a total of eleven. Trotter also was a power at the plate as he got three safeties out of five times at bat; one of these was good for two bases. David Wittel also had a good day at bat, he knocking out two doubles and two singles in five times up. Mc- Clane, of Opelika, did some superb fielding in holding Wittel down to two bases on his screaming hits into left field.

Basore, Auburn chemist, has discovered a method by which glass may be made in Alabama from thirty-five to eighty per cent cheaper than at present costs. Dr. Basore discussed his method before a meeting of the Alabama division of the American Society of Mechanical Engineers at Birmingham Friday night. The use of this method, according to Dr. Basore, can make of Alabama one of the leading glass producing sections of the country. The basic element used is slag, which can be obtained in abundance from the Birmingham blast furnaces. Natural gas, which is also used in the production of glass, can also be obtained in Birmingham. approved by the Federal Bureau of Immigration for training foreign students, and is approved by the State Department of Education for training high school instructors in aeronautics. It is recognized by leaders in the aviation industry as being one of the country's foremost aeronautical schools. Several students of this college were participants in this year's W.

In a recent discussion before ministers in Syracuse, Rev. Turner asked one of his colleagues: "If you were in my place, as minister of the American Church in Berlin, what would you say ought to be my Christian attitude toward Germany and the German people?" His colleague answered: "One-must view the Germans as having committed a sin against Christianity. They must repent of their sins before we can help them. Dil-linger, Al Capone and Hitler belong to the same class." Rev. Turner undertakes to "explain" Hitlerism to the Americans. He is an intimate friend of Herr Hanfstaengel, Hitler's confidential secretary. Mr. Hanfstaengel has spoken frequently in *Rev. Turner's church in Berlin. It has been rumored that Rev. Turner's trip is being financed by the Nazis, and that his return to Berlin is dependent upon his outspoken defense of the Nazi program.

OCR Transcript | Semi-Weekly Plainsman Wednesday Edition THE PLAINSMAN TO FOSTER THE A U B U R N S P I R IT Horse Show This Afternoon VOLUME LVII AUBURN, ALABAMA, WEDNESDAY, APRIL 25, 1934 NUMBER 52 ANNUAL R. 0. T. C. HORSE SHOW WILL BE STAGED TODAY Many Riders To Take Part In Demonstration This Afternoon Beginning At Three CUPS BE GIVEN Nine Events Will Be Held; Open Jumping With Officers Participating Feature The annual R. 0. T. C. horse show will be given this afternoon at 3 p. m. with a large number of riders taking part in the demonstration. Many events have been planned which include exhibition riding and jumping and will give all riding classes an opportunity to display their skill in horsemanship. There will be eight Judges on the field to choose the winners of each event. The first event will be a sophomore exhibition ride with fifty-four men slated to participate. Following this event will be junior jumping, which will include five three-foot jumps. Those juniors in this event include Wood, Turnipseed, Morris, Martin, Cooper, Bagley, and Nelson. The third event will be three gaited riding for girls including Helen Pranke, Sarah Hooper, Mary McGehee, Frances Mc- Gehee, Sylvia Shuptrine, Jane Slack, Dabney Hare, Prances Ashurst, Martha North Watson, Virginia Yar-brough, Elizabeth Fletcher, Martha Jane Bradford, and Miriam Toulmin, competing for the prize. • Other events in the order in which they come include senior jumping with McCollum, Chapman, Donivan, Bowen, Mitchell, Aldredge, Fuller, Franklin, and Reese; a polo pony stake race; pair jumping, with a lady and gentleman jumping together. The ladies and their partners in this event are Frances McGehee with Ira Franklin, Mary McGehee with L. N. Aldredge, and Helen Franke with L. B. Donivan. To determine the best polo pony is the next event followed by ladies' jumping, with Frances McGehee, Mary McGehee, Dabney Hare, and Helen Franke competing. Other events are a polo pony bending race and open jumping by Major Franke, Capt. Gunby, and Lieut Phelps, making nine jumps, 4% feet high. The last event, always an interesting one at a horse show, is the musical chair in which each man dismounts and dashes for a chair the minute the music stops. Each time there is one man eliminated as the number of chairs is always one less than the number of men. There will be fifty-four entrants in this event. Silver loving cups will be awarded to the winners of the competitive events. LIL LIL KILLED WHEN STRUCK BY LIGHTNING Lil Lil, thoroughbred mare belonging to the U. S. Army, was instantly killed last Thursday afternoon when hit by a bolt of lightning which struck a telephone pole on Drake Field and bounded through the open doors of the stables. Hipustrade, p r i v a te mount belonging to Captain Gunby, was knocked down by the bolt and is still in a serious condition. Lil was considered one of the best horses in the stables and was frequently used by Major Pranke. He rode her in the Atlanta Horse Show last year at which time she won first place in the jumping events and was one of the three horses on the winning hunt team. She had also won a number of other ribbons in various meets. Major Franke stated that he was pointing her for the Horse Show this year and that her death is a severe blow to the chances of the Auburn entrants. Hipustrade is also a prise winner, and one of the best jumpers in the stables. He has been showing up exceedingly well in recent practices, and he, with Lil, had been regarded as almost certain winners in the coming show. Even should he recover from the severe shock that he received, it is doubtful that he will be in condition to enter the show. Memorial Day Services To Be Held Tomorrow Confederate Memorial services will be observed in Langdon Hall. at eleven o'clock on the morning of Thursday, April 26, according to an announcement recently made public. A special program has been arranged for the occasion and individuals have been appointed to make arrangements for the day. Major G. H. Franke has been named Marshal for the day, with Doctor Petrie in charge of the eleven o'clock program. The program includes an invocation by Rev. Sam B. Hay, a solo, "Maryland, My Maryland," sung by Collins Cameron, and a feature address by Dr. H. V. Carson. Sar-geant Moxham will sing, "There Is No Death," and the benediction will be given by Rev. Hay. In the afternoon, at four-thirty, the Girl and Boy Scouts will decorate the local monument and soldiers plot. , WIDE VARIETY OF COURSES OFFERED IN SUMMER TERMS Sessions Are Scheduled From June 4 To July 13 And July 16 To August 18' WIN, TIE SCORED IN POLO MATCHES Varsity Unable To Hold Early Lead As Ramblers Defeat Wimbledon Club Against a much improved team from the Wimbledon Club of Mobile, the varsity polo team and Army Ramblers were only able to draw a tie and a one point Victory, respectively, in the two matches played here over the week-end. The varsity met the Mobile team Saturday afternoon, and after obtaining an early lead, used a number of reserves. Auburn went into the final period with a two point lead but was unable to stem the determined rush with which the Mobile team scored twice to tie the score. Neither team was able to break the tie in the continuation of the period after the final bell. Colonel Thomas, Charles Boy-kin, and J. G. Burton showed up well for the visiting team, the latter especially, for after playing consistently all through the game, came through in the final period to score the two goals that tied tip the match. For the locals, Justin Morrill played a nice game at the number one position, scoring twice in the first period to give Auburn an early lead. Among the reserves, in addition to Franklin and Aldredge, seniors this year, Strong, Dexter, and Ivey, who are promising candidates for next year, played nicely, holding the score even while they were in the competition. In Sunday's game the tables were reversed, Mobile taking a two point lead in the first period and holding it until the fourth period when Lieutenant Phelps scored twice to put the Ramblers in the lead. The score was again tied in the final chucker by Boykin but Lieutenant Bowman came back with a score shortly before the game ended. Four of the varsity reserves who will be back next year substituted on the officers team and all showed considerable promise. The lineup and scores for the varsity game were as follows: Auburn (7)—Morrill 2, Oel Johnson 1, W. O. Johnson, and Suydam 1 Substitutions: Fincher, Franklin 1, Dexter, Aldredge, Ivey 2, and Strong. Mobile (7)—Spottswood 1, Thomas 1, Boykin 2, Burton 2. Substitutions: Fleming 1. In Sunday's game the line up was for the Ramblers: Phelps 3, Metts, Franke, Gunby 1. Substitutes: Bowman 1, Strong, Briggs, Dexter 1, and Ivey. Total score, 6. Mobile's line up was slightly changed with Thomas 1, Boykin 1, Burton 1, and Fleming. Substitutes: Cochrane,. Spottswood 1, and Merkle 1. Total score, 5. COURSES LISTED One Hundred Ten Instructors To Conduct Three Hundred Sixteen Courses NOTICE! ' There will be a drill by the Student R. 0. T. C.

MANY PRESENT AT NEW ART EXHIBIT Work Of CWA Employed Architects Now On Display In Architecture Building A large number viewed the exhibition now on display in the Library of the School of Architecture and Allied Arts, here, of the Historic American Buildings Survey, recent C. W. A. project for unemployed architects, over the past week-end. This display features a partial accomplishment by drawings and photographs of historic Alabama structures prior to 1860. Many of the most historic buildings are included in tjiis exhibition and the exhibition gives a good cross section of Alabama's past history and which are the only visible signs left of its unusual history of its early days. In some sections of the United States, a large part of the early American architecture has disappeared. Not so in Alabama. While the ravages of the War between the States and occasional fires of individual homes have destroyed a good many, on the whole there are hundreds of these structures still left. Exhibits of the pioneer days, structures of the Tennessee Valley "Gaineswood" at Demopolis, Montgomery and Mobile, also Fort Gaines on Dauphin Island, are creating particular interest. On account of the great interest shown in the exhibition by the public, it will be open both morning and afternoon, including Saturday afternoon of this week, and Sunday afternoon, April 29th. Visitors are welcome and urged to avail themselves of this opportunity. VARSITY DEBATING TEAMS BEATEN IN ORATORY CONTEST University Of Florida Debaters Carry Off High Honors In Collegiate Tourney HESS IS CHAIRMAN Representatives Also Entered In Extemporaneous Speech Contest PIANO RECITAL GIVEN AT PRESIDENT'S HOME A piano recital was given by Mrs. A. S. J. Tucker, of Ft. Benning, .Ga., one of the outstanding women pianist of the South, here Sunday evening at the President's Mansion before an appreciative audience of 60 townspeople and members of college faculty. The recital was arranged by Prof, and Mrs. Karf Hazel, who along with others praised the brilliant technique, beautiful tone, and exquisite interpretation which characterized Mrs. Tucker's recital. On numerous previous occasions Mrs. Tucker has given concerts at Warm Springs and Ft. Benning, where her interpretation of the best in piano compositions brought the unstinted approval of her audiences. She is the former pupil of Henry Casper, of Washington, D. C. Following the recital the guests were tendered a buffet supper with Mrs. Hazel and Mrs. S. L. Toomer serving as hostesses. Coffee was poured at a beautifully appointed table by Mrs. B. H. Crenshaw and Mrs. W. W. Hill. Little Misses Winefred Hill and Margaret Toomer assisted with the serving. Among the out-of-town guests were Major and Mrs. F. A. Hieleman, of Ft. Benning and little daughter, Mar-jorie. Mrs. Tucker played four groups of numbers, as follows: Group I—"Turkish March" from "The Ruins of Athens," Bjeethoven-Rubenstein; "An-gelus," Corelli-Godowsky;'and "Variations Seriuses," Mendelssohn.

Group IV—"Etude r in C Sharp Minor," by Stornberg; "Little White Donkey," Ibert; "Irish Tune from County Derry," Grainger; and "Hobby on the Green," Melton Rufty. Debating the question, "Resolved, That the Powers of the President Should be Substantially Increased as a. Settled Policy," two teams from Auburn clashed with six other varsity teams at the speech tournament held in Birmingham last week. The two men upholding the affrmative for Auburn were Otis Spears and J. C. Ivey, and the two upholding the negative were J. E. DeVaughn and W. G. Hall. Although Auburn failed to place in debating, Prof. Hess, coach of the debating team, stated, "While we didn't rank among the first three, we did credntably well, winning the first debate from Alabama." Auburn upheld the negative in that debate. Nine colleges were represented in debating at the tournament, and each college debated six times. Florida carried off the high honors, winning all six debates. Also included in the tournament were contests between colleges in oratory and extemporaneous speaking. John Liles represented Auburn in the oratorical contest, winning fourth place. W. G. Hall spoke for Auburn extemporaneously. The University of Florida won the oratorical contest and won second place in extemporaneous speaking. The first three days of the tournament, beginning Tuesday, were used in contests between Southern colleges, and the remainder of the week in a meeting of the Southern Association of the Teachers of Speech. Mr. Hess was chairman at the Friday afternoon ENGINEERS WITNESS WELDING SUOW HERE Tuesday and Wednesday, April 24 and 25 the American Society of Mechanical Engineers are giving a demonstration of welding by the Air Reduction Sales Company.

RACKETS TO PLAY AT FORT BENNING PLANS ANNOUNCED FOR SUMMER CAMP AT FORT BENNING Students In R.O.T.C. To Have Six Weeks Camp Starting On June Fourth At Ft. Benning JUNIORS TO ATTEND Complete Staff Of Regular Army Officers Will Instruct Students During Period Auburn Tennis Team Have Match Scheduled W i th Army Five Sunday SUPREME COURT NAMED TO ACT ON INJUNCTION Horace Stringfellow, of Montgomery; A. J. Harris, of Decatur; William G. Caffey, of Mobile; William L. Martin, of Birmingham, and W. O. Mulkey, of Geneva, have been appointed by Gov. Miller to serve on the Special Supreme Court which will act upon the education fund suit. Mr. Stringfellow was appointed to take the place of Judge B. P. Crum, of Montgomery, who was one of the original five appointees, but who recused himself from sitting in the case on account of his law firm's having been connected with the recent litigation in the Circuit and Supreme Courts relating to school funds and involving some legal problems which might arise in this case. With the completion of the round robin tournament, members of the Auburn tennis team are practicing diligently this week for their initial match of the season Sunday, with the Fort Benning team at Fort Benning. Final rankings in the tourney give George Poole Number 1 position, Glenn and Cam Mitchell are tied for Number 2, Claude Pritchett is Number 4, C. W. Hixon is Number 5, Herb Whittle is Number 6, R. P. Russell is Number 7, and Charlie Price, Number 8. The first five men on the team will make the trip to Benning. Poole's Number 1 ranking was not unexpected as he has previously demonstrated his superiority on local courts. Neither were the ratings of Glenn and Cam Mitchell unexpected for in the Interfraternity Tourney last year they won first place. Pritchett is a veteran net enthusiastist at Auburn, having been instrumental in returning tennis to a minor sport standing. C. W. Hixon did provide prospective netmen a surprise as he held Number 2 position during the earlier stages of the tourney, and finally ranked Number 5. Hixon, a newcomer to local courts, played an extremely effective game for it to be relatively so easy, and gave some driving artists considerable trouble until they solved his stroke. Hixon's strongest point is his accuracy and with more speed he would undoubtedly be even higher ranking than he is at present. Herb Whittle, ranking Number 6, was considerably off his game during the earlier games of the competition but improved steadily to' win a coveted position among the eight seeded players. Russell, who, like Pritchett, has done much to put the game on a firm footing, shows a great deal of promise and should be a valuable member of the team during the season. Price is rather erratic but with practice should become an outstanding player. He is only a sophomore. According to an announcement made by the Military Department, the annual R. O. T. C. camp for Junior students in military will be held at Fort Benning, and will last from June 4 to July 15. This period of time will be two weeks lonfier than that of last year. Although official announcement has not been made yet, it is thought that the following officers will attend the camp: Major Franke, Captain Metts, Captain Almguist, Lieutenants Phelps,* Watts, and Huggins of the Field Artillery, and Captain Grower of. the Corps of Engineers. Whether Lieutenant Bowman will go is uncertain in that he may be sent to another post. In a summary of all the students that will attend the camp, including those from University of Alabama, University of Florida, Georgia Tech and Auburn, it was found that there will be approximately 335 present. Over half of this number will be Auburn men. Students will be given the same allowance for mileage as last year, but will receive an increase over last year pay of 5% for June and 10% for July. Another change in the camp will be the removal of the camp site back to the regular R. O. T. C. area. POPULARITY CONTEST IS BEING CONDUCTED FORMER STUDENT HERE ON CAMPAIGNING TOUR Rhea Lapsley, graduate of the class of 1933, was a visitor in Auburn Monday while on a campaign tour in the interest of James M. Bowman, candidate for the Public Service Commission. Lapsley is employed at the Sloss Sheffield Steel and Iron Company in Birmingham in the electrical department, he being a graduate in Electrical Engineering. while an undergraduate here, Laps-ley was very active in scholastic work and extra-curricula events, he being a member of Spades, Omicron Delta Kappa, Tau Beta Pi, Scabbard and Blade, Blue Key, and Phi Kappa Phi. He is a member of the Alpha Tau Omega social fraternity. In recent issues of the Collegiate Digest section have appeared announcements of a new popularity contest which will give two students from each college using the rotogravure section an opportunity to gain nationwide fame. - The Digest and the Parker Fountain Pen Company will award prizes to the winners at each school and their pictures will be featured in a special page in the Digest. In an early issue of the Collegiate Digest will be printed a ballot which all students must use in voting in the contest. The two receiving the highest number of votes will win. At Auburn one boy and one girl will be selected. JOINT "Y" BANQUET IS PRESENTED ON MONDAY A joint banquet of the local student chapters of the Y. M. C. A. and Y. W. C. A. was held on Monday evening in the Eastern Star Hall, with Professor Roe of the Language department acting as toastmaster. Speakers on the evening's program were Mrs. Jolley, Reverend-Sam B. Hay, Professor O. T. Ivey, Professor A. L. Thomas, Miss Sarah Stanley, retiring vice-president of the Y. W. C. A. group; Julian Greer, retiring president of the Y. M. C. A.; Whitfield Rew, newly-elected president of the Y; and Miss Emma B. Sellers, new head of the Y. W. C. A. After the banquet, the group repaired to the Recreation Hall for an informal radio dance. DEBATING TEAM WILL ENGAGE GEORGIA TECH At 7 p. m. Thursday, April 26, the Auburn Debating team will meet Ga. Tech in the Social Center, debating the question, "Resolved, That the Powers of the President Should be Substantially Increased as a Settled Policy." Auburn will uphold the affirmative of this question, supported by Ostic Spears and J. C. Ivey. Both teams are about equal in strength, which will tend to make the debate a very interesting one. The debate will be a non-decision one. P A G E TWO 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 WEDNESDAY, APRIL 25, 1934.

THOMAS JEFFERSON Thomas Jefferson (born April 13, 1743, died July 4, 1826) belongs among the immortals of America and of mankind. The principles of free self-government which he championed have become the bedrock of American civilization, and his constant appeal to reason is still the keynote of a better social order. Of our two great political parties today, one hails him as its founder; the founders of the others—the Republicans—called themselves the true heirs of his teachings. Of middle class upbringing, he hated the eastern aristocracy of Virginia. "He was a product," writes Professor W. E. Dodd, our present Ambassador to Germany, "of the first west in American history." He wrote the Declaration of Independence in the house of a bricklayer, refused re-election to Congress, and entered the Virginia legislature to make his own state democratic. There he brought about the separation of church and state and established the principle of religious freedom which was to become the first statement in the Bill of Rights. He was a great lover of humanity and a champion of the rights of man. He declared his belief "that man was a rational animal, endowed by nature with rights and with an innate sense of justice; and that he could be restrained from wrong and protected in right by moderate powers confided to persons of his own choice and held to their duties by dependence on his own will." His private motto was that of Cromwell: "Resistance to tyrants is obedience to God." As a liberal and a democrat, Jefferson hated the oppression he had seen in Europe, and strove to prevent its rise in America. So accurate was his understanding of the ways of politics and economics that he was 0 able to describe a situation which has given rise to Fascist programs in our day: "The population of England is composed of three descriptions of persons (for those of minor note are too inconsiderable to affect a general estimate). These are, 1. The aristocracy, comprehending the nobility, the wealthy commoners, the high grades of priesthood, and the officers of government. 2. The laboring class. 3. The eleemosynary class, or paupers, who are about one-fifth of the whole. The aristocracy, which have the laws and government in their hands, have so managed them as to reduce the third description below the means of supporting life, even by labor; and to force the second, whether employed in agriculture or the arts, to the maximum of labor which the construction of the human body can endure, and to the minimum of food, and of the meanest kind which will preserve it in life, and in strength sufficient to perform its functions. . . The less dexterous individuals, falling into the eleemosynary ranks, furnish materials for armies and navies to defend their country, exercise piracy on the ocean, and carry conflagration, plunder, and devastation, on the shores of all those who endeavor to withstand their aggressions. A society thus constituted possesses certainly the means of defence. But what does it defend? The pauperism of the lowest class, the abject oppression of the laboring, and the luxury, the riot, the domination, and the vicious happiness of the aristocracy. In their hands, the paupers are used as tools to maintain their own wretchedness, and to keep down the laboring portion by shooting them whenever the desperation produced by the cravings of their stomachs drives them into riots." Jefferson is the proper stuff out of which civilized societies are made. CONVOCATIONS (Co-Ed Editorial) Recently there appeared in this paper an editorial concerning the new tendency of the so-called "Auburn Spirit." The writer was seriously perturbed over the very noticeable and apparent inadvertency of the student body to uphold this excellent tradition. Since it has been always cherished by thousands of students who have gone before, and has been handed down as something to be highly valued and esteemed, this state of disturbance is entirely justified. When one perceives the old order being perverted he usually seeks by means of suggestions and hypotheses to remedy the matter. We wonder then, and venture to offer this suggestion that our long discontinued convocation periods be again resumed. Certainly there would be better chance for the student body to know each other, to become better acquainted. By having a regular convocation every week or every two weeks, we believe that the old "Auburn Spirit" of friendliness, comradeship, and good-will would again appear as it has in the past. Not only for the continuation of Auburn's famed spirit would convocations be a good thing. Much cultural value could be obtained from them, especially if the college would find a means to bring to Auburn interesting speakers from other parts of the country. If this were not possible, our own faculty should suffice to present interesting subjects. We believe that these speakers should not be restricted to heads of departments, deans, and higher officials, but they should include all of the faculty. If each professor talked about a phase of his work, certainly there would be no lack of subjects. In specialization one rarely has a chance to obtain more than what his special line of work-«alls for; therefore, it seems that diversified topics should prove enlightening and interesting. Furthermore, a student convocation should not be without its student representatives; we suggest that talks be made by students. Certainly, the president of the Executive Council or a president of the student body should preside when necessary. The latter would involve electing a president of the student body, but that in itself would probably be a good thing. Other schools have regular convocations and derive benefits from them. It is not strange then that students from these colleges are actually dumbfounded when informed that Auburn has no regular convocations. They inquire with avid curiosity how a school can have unity where there is hardly ever a meeting of the student body. Perhaps the waning of our "spirit" may be directly traced to this source. Why not, then, t ry to remedy this matter by the above mentioned suggestions? Certainly, convocations can do no harm and even if they do not prove a panacea for our recently developed unfriendliness, other important benefits may be derived from them. WORSE THAN THE KU KLUX KLAN ARE THE SILVER SHIRTS Among the organizations which have tried to stimulate their own brand of 100 per cent Americanism was the Ku Klux Klan. This organization gained power by overriding most of the liberties granted to negroes and other non-white races in this country. Now comes William Dudley Pelley and his host of the Silver Legion which is attempting to rebuild an Aryan civilization in America. These Silver Shirts, who have patterned their organization on the Hitler formula, are now busy enlisting scatter-brains for a vigorous anti-semitic campaign. So far they claim a membership of 75,000 and are now moving to equip a strong arm division named the Silver Rangers. Samuel Duff McCoy, writing in Raymond Moley's administration organ Today quotes the following -from the Silver Shirt literature: "The Silver Rangers constitute a great body of picked men, the equal of any constabulary in any of the states, who shall ride shoulder to shoulder toward the support of harassed police and state constabularies, arousing the citizenry to the menace that threatens their stalwart police forces, the thunder of thousands of Silver Shirt horses sounding their own warning tocsins to the real seditionist and the cyndicalist agitator, inspiring faith and hope in the great body of the dizzied, pitchforked and intimidated populace, rallying the great Christian forces of gentlemanliness and manliness in a splendorful gesture to take this country back out of the hands of the alien debauch-ers and give it to the representative democratic citizenry." To the Silver Shirts the Jews are the people who have ruined the country. Pel-ley's organization claims that the NRA, the Federal Reserve bank, the President, and the recovery organization are affiliated with the Jews.

Dost not invite the envy of fellow feminity and the admiration of adolescence? Glorious in the sun are thy calves. Thou bull at night, whilst thou art corraled on the sofa, fairly bellows of empty pastures. Upon thou hide is the ripple of silk hair in curls and eyes lighted like a Greek restaurant. Upon your smile of Sunday Night depends Monday Morning's sunshine, I suppose. One wonders, whilst the moon filters through the screen and onto the coverlet, dost kick slumbering? Dost snatch cover?

How much nicer when one was a freshman ^and believed the world was as good as could be and dandelions were only to grace a greenly carpeted lawn. One had not heard then that t'was the thing to do to assume a look of boredom. One had not heard that quite several of our . co-eds even unto practice the look whilst amid their dreams.

"My good man," I heard myself say to him, "of course we live at no similarity with each other, and I admit that a few years ago the mention of your name would perhaps (perish the thought!) actually enthuse me, but my fine fellow, now that I have my own standards I cannot but judge another by them. I cannot remember seeing you at the Junior Prom. What fraternity did you make? Did you make the Kappa Delta Dance? You answer not, my man. You hang your head. I can see you are a commoner. Stand aside and let me pass, and please latch the gate; I see one of the rabble approaching. He, of course, must not come in; he has to work his way through school. He does' not RATE." * * * * That word "RATE." Whenever one student asks another concerning someone else, 'tis: "How does he rate?" An out-of-town girl when asking of a student here asks the same question. What do we mean by the word? Are men to be judged by their fraternity pins, placed upon them by social organizations, not because the man is exceptional, but because the organization has expenses to meet? Too often that has happened. Are men to be elevated in esteem because their people have money which prevents the necessity of their having to work to help defray their college expenses? I In the face of all this balderdash; the average American, be he Jew or Gentile, can sit back and laugh over the Ghosts of the Ku Klux Klan and the re-echoes of Henry Ford's anti-semitic battle of a few years back.

Witk Otker Colleges By BILLIE THOMAS Pasadena, Calif.—A 10-ton mirror for use in a telescope with which science hopes to peer at objects one billion light years away (light travels 186,000 miles a second) and thus see objects as they exist millions of years before any form of life appeared on this planet, is being made for the California Institute of Technology, at Corning, N. Y. Pouring of the molten mass of glass requires ten hours, but that is a short time compared to the year which will be required to cool the great mirror and grind it to proper physical proportions. The success of the experiment depends on the efficiency of an electrically-heated annealing box in which the mirror will rest and cool by imperceptible degrees until some time in 1934. Then the grinding process will take a few more months. Once completed, the mirror will be sent here to be set up on some mountain-side, not yet selected, where it will become the basis for astronomical observations by the California institution and the Carnegie Institute of Washington. * * * * "What have you done," Saint Peter said, "that I should admit you here?"

The motion pictures receive a great part of this extra capital in that they are the principal form of outside amusement. A senior said she spends an average of $2.50 think students, as a whole, are too smug, and only realize, and regret, this attitude upon graduation. I shall remember my talk with a student of two years ago when we were discussing the "caste system" of colleges. He said: "I cannot be discouraged by what people think of me. If I can but respect myself; know that I am doing the right thing; live so my family will not be ashamed of me; then I will not be dismayed when I hear other students say of me: 'He doesn't r a t e . '" monthly on shows, three girls spend $2.00, a sophomore $1.50, and the other four an average of $1.. Much of the college girls' pittance flies away on mail planes and mail trains. The average student spends 75 cents monthly on stamps, but two of the interviewed girls spend $1.50. According to all nine of the students, however, they derive the greatest pleasure from that part of their allowance they spend on food. When asked what their pet economies and extravagances were no girl could think of economy, but seven named "splurges" and feasts as pet extravagances. (Technically speaking, a splurge consists of a movie immediately preceded or followed by dinner in town.) One conclusion to draw from these interviews is the fact that seniors are more extravagant than underclassmen. * * * * There will be no Junior Prom girl this year at M. I. T.

In fact it was so demoralizing that one of the Ala-bamian's staff (editor, or associate editor, for some papers are that well organized) wrote an article expressing the sorrow of the burning of a store at whose corner the Montevallo girls have been meeting for many years in the pass. And so in behalf of the Plainsman staff we would like to express our sympathy to the women of Montevallo. • 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. * * * * THE DANCES. What a taste they left. How desolate the burg without the Daocanalilan three, W, W, and S. And how quiet. The Black Shirts. Where are they now? Wild stories. How many will we hear about the dances. A hundred girls will be endearingly remembered as "Honeys." Jason at the dances, whispering, but afraid to holler, "Boulan-ger." * * * * The famous debate question is upon us again. Is Lown a louse. Lown is not a louse. But he let a shine come up and sing "Stardust," a crime that should incur capital punishment but never will. Bert made his bid for lousedom when he tried to use local talent for a good program. If our local talent was worth a damn, we wouldn't send all the way to N. Y. for a . band to come blow for a few dances. * * * * And I guess you noticed the Bull Fiddle slapper who looked like Jack La Rue, but could beat a better Bull Fiddle than anybody I've saw. Of course your heart palpitated to the red-mouthed bruise-singer. And maybe you, like me, wondered why Bert didn't get a haircut. * * * * But we've got to give the Lown bunch credit for playing those good old tunes as well as new ones. Especially "You're the One I Care For." And I guess you saw him play "Arlene" every dance. It would be simple to rave on and on about the good music. But I hope I'm not simple. Suffice it to say, "Goin' to Heaven On a Mule" was omitted. * * * * I wondered what Bill G. was thinking about while gazing into the starry depths of Gloria's eyes (she had two). It must have been great to attract all that attention, Gloria. No less than fifty sober and sane individuals offered you, Gloria, their nickels and dimes. I heard 'em. And all poor little Gloria got was a sandwich at the SAE house. All over her dress. * * * * But hang it all, I'm glad they're over. * * * * And now about this little matter of the publications offices. If you'll stop to consider the point, you'll realize that popular vote will never decide who is the best man to run a paper or a year-book. The good sport and well liked big shot who runs for the job isn't necessarily the best man for the job. But how are the voters to find out? Politicians will tell you anything. One of them promised me a cigar if he were elected. And forgot about it. They'll tell you modestly that they are quite the hardest working man in the history of institutional journalism, but talk like that absolutely will not write a paper. Let the voters elect the good guys as class president, or historian. But don't lets keep the old policy of letting popular vote put a man at the head of a newspaper. Or an annual. It's all over this year. You were pretty lucky with your publication men. But don't let it blind you to the possibility of a farcical election that may mean you'll read a paper for a whole year put out by somebody who knows nothing whatsoever about journalism. The editor of the largest paper in the world was not chosen by popular vote. He was chosen because he knew the job. And he does right well by his paper because he knows how. Since we do have a college paper modeled after commercial newspapers, why not model the selection of the head man after the commercial way. This may mean that your pal won't be whoosits of the Plainman or whatsis in chief of the Glomerata, but it will mean that you'll get a good set of collegiate literature. However, if your friend must have his job, make another job such as caretaker of the sundial and pay fifty cents more student activity fee. He gets the job, you get a good paper, a good annual, and a well kept sundial. Of course, it all depends on how you like your sun-dials. * * * * And one more crack that is repititive. I grant that it may be oodles of fun to shine oh so brightly on the dance floor. And even more fun to shine in the orchestra pit. But when you get up and murder my favorite Stardust with a voice that should be calling hogs, you've spoiled my whole day. Don't get me wrong. I thought you were awfully cute. So did the girl I was dancing with. But did you hear that great big B-O-O-0 when you got through? That was me. * * * * Only 210 shopping days before Christ- A fifty-to-one bet was won by five Cambridge students who had wagered that they could walk 100 miles in 24 hours and had then proceeded to do it with time to spare.

This effective elimination of the Lambda Chis was the fourth consecutive win of the tournament for Sigma Nu, they having previously beaten Pi Kappa Alpha, Alpha Tau Omega, Sigma Pi. The Lambda Chis never threatened after the second inning when the Sigma Nus amassed a ten ruri total that put them safely out of danger. This scoring display, which was the Sigma Nus' big effort of the afternoon, gave every man on the team one bat at least during the inning, and several members of the Sigma K O D A K As you go.

The Lambda Chis deserve a considerable amount of credit for scoring at all against the hitherto impenetrable defense of the Sigma Nus, and if they had been able to check the barrage of doubles and triples in this one inning, the game would have undoubtedly been considerably more interesting. But the closeness of the game after this bad inning of the Lambda Chis was probably due more to the slowing of the Sigma Nus than the improved play of Lambda Chi. The fielding of Lambda Chi was noticeably erratic; errors playing a considerable part in the scoring of both teams. To give credit to .any one individual on the Sigma Nu team would be unjust to the rest for the team as a unit functioned exceptionally well.

Of all the dual meets Auburn has partcipated in during the last few years none perhaps has provided as many thrills and anxious moments as the one last Saturday with Georgia here on Drake Field. Hero honors go to Loyd Richey, elongated hurdler, high jumper, and for a brief period Saturday, a broad jumper also. After having participated in both hurdle races and the high jump", and winning all three, Richey was pressed into service by Coach Hutsell as a broad jumper. Although he did not win this event, he was able to outjump Green, of Georgia, thus eliminating the Athenian from qualifying, and insuring Auburn of at least a third place in the event, which was enough to win the meet. Mr. Richey then nonchalantly trotted off to the gym, leaving Langdon to participate in the jump and capture the coveted point for the home side. Robert Rutland's record leap over the pole was perhaps the outstanding performance of the afternoon. This is all the more noteworthy when one considers the fact that Auburn's alternate-captain has added almost a foot to his jumping height during this season. He has developed and is still developing under the masterful coaching of Wilbur Hutsell. Rutland will be one of the favorites in this event next week during the Conference Meet in Birmingham. Carl Pihl, also, comes in for commendation for his "iron man" act in winning both the mile and two-mile races. This feat is uncommon, which makes performance all the more remarkable. * * * Auburn will get a chance this week-end to see Georgia Tech's baseball team in action for the first time this season. Tech's two-game series with the Plainsmen Friday and Sat-extra- base quality of their knocks. Sigma Nu's opponents in the finals has not as yet been determined and will not be until Beta Kappa plays the winner of the Phi Delta Theta- Delta Sigma Phi game. Beta Kappa, Delta Sigma Phi and Phi Delta Theta have strong teams and present indications point to a close final game. Delta Sigma Phi advanced to the third round by virtue of a 4-0 defeat of Alpha Gamma Rho. In the tennis tourney Kappa Alpha defeated Alpha Gamma Rho 6-1, 6-1, in a first-round match. Kappa Alpha, represented by Beverly Biggin and Doc Stanley will play Pi Kappa Phi in the second round. Pi Kappa Phi has a strong net combination in James Tyson and Austin Martin and the match between Pi Kappa Phi and Kappa Alpha is expected to close for a second-round contest. urday should prove to be highly interesting. The Tigers will also be performing before the home folks for the first time under their new mentor, Coach Del Morgan. Coach Bobby Dodd will bring a strong outfit to the Plains to oppose Auburn. Tech is reputed to have one of the outstanding teams of the Conference. '* * * Auburn's polo team, one of the best in the South since its organization by Captain Tom Gunby three years ago, seems to be having a hard time scheduling college opponents. It seems that both Florida and Georgia are without polo teams this season, making it practically impossible for the Plainsmen to play teams of college rank. Auburn, however, has performed well against various Army aggregations faced to date. * * * Interest here in polo is on the upgrade. Many students and . townspeople have been attending the contests this year who have never previously viewed the sport. It is hoped that plans for participating in the national championships will materialize. In any event, many here believe that Auburn has one of the outstanding college teams in the country this year.

Auburn's 1934 track aggregation continued the record set in former years by Tiger track teams and defeated Georgia 64-62 in the first dual meet of the year for Auburn, Georgia had previously won three meets. Graham Batchelor, of Georgia, and Loyd Richey, of Auburn, led their respective teams in scoring points; Batcheldor annexing three firsts and a second to be the high scorer of the day, and Richey winning three events to lead the Tigers. Auburn took eight firsts and seven seconds in the meet, Georgia getting six firsts. Georgia, however, made a clean sweep in two events, the 440 and the javelin. Dupree and Pihl each got two firsts, and Rutland took top honors in his event, the pole vault by setting a new school record of 13:4. Dupree, captain of the thinly-clads, won the 100 and century with comparative ease. Pihl's competition in the mile and two-mile came from his teammate, Gait, who pushed, him in both events. Rutland won the pole vault at 12:6 but went on to new heights and a new school record. Auburn's principal weakness as demonstrated by Saturday's meet is in the weight events. Auburn got a total of four points in the shot-put, the javelin and discus combined. Tolve annexed a second place in the shot and Killebrew hurled the discus for a third. Frank Langdon in the broad jump saved the day for Auburn in taking a third in this event. AUBURN HIGH SCHOOL VICTOR IN GAME WITH OPELIKA HIGH Opelika Rally In Ninth Is Cut Short By Brilliant Catch Of Bobbie Wilson; Trotter, Pitching Ace, Strikes Out Eleven And Collects Three Hits IT PAYS To Look Well VARSITY BARBER SHOP We Appreciate Your Patronage Auburn High won its second consecutive victory of the season Friday afternoon in defeating Opelika 8-6. Opelika almost came' from behind in the ninth with a strong finish but this rally was quashed by a brilliant catch at second by Bobbie Wilson. The Auburn nine scored three runs in both the first and second, innings and coasted from there on out, one run more being made in the sixth and ninth. Opelika was blanked until the fifth inning when one run was scored, one being added in both the sixth and eighth innings. In the ninth, however, Opelika got three well-timed hits which netted three runs but advanced no further than this by virtue of Wilson's fly-grabbing exhibition. The hero of the occasion for Auburn was Trotter, who did some very impressive pitching. He fanned the first six men to face him, and struck out five more in successive innings for a total of eleven. Trotter also was a power at the plate as he got three safeties out of five times at bat; one of these was good for two bases. David Wittel also had a good day at bat, he knocking out two doubles and two singles in five times up. Mc- Clane, of Opelika, did some superb fielding in holding Wittel down to two bases on his screaming hits into left field.

In a recent discussion before ministers in Syracuse, Rev. Turner asked one of his colleagues: "If you were in my place, as minister of the American Church in Berlin, what would you say ought to be my Christian attitude toward Germany and the German people?" His colleague answered: "One-must view the Germans as having committed a sin against Christianity. They must repent of their sins before we can help them. Dil-linger, Al Capone and Hitler belong to the same class." Rev. Turner undertakes to "explain" Hitlerism to the Americans. He is an intimate friend of Herr Hanfstaengel, Hitler's confidential secretary. Mr. Hanfstaengel has spoken frequently in *Rev. Turner's church in Berlin. It has been rumored that Rev. Turner's trip is being financed by the Nazis, and that his return to Berlin is dependent upon his outspoken defense of the Nazi program.
