KEYS ARE SPONSORS
Mothers And Dads Day To Be
Celebrated In Conjunction
With Regular Homecoming
Plans and preparations for "Moth­ers'
and Dads' Day", which is to be
held here on November 11, have been
made and the program includes many
forms of enterainment for visiting
parents. This custom was inaugurat­ed
in Auburn in the fall of 1929 when
it was sponsored directly by the
scliool. This year the event is being
handled by Keys, interfraternity so­cial
organization.
The feature of the program will be
the football game between Oglethorpe
and Auburn. This is the only game
that the varsity will play on the Au­burn
campus this year; therefore, a
large crowd of fans from all over
Alabama and Georgia is expected to
be here.
The library of the architectural
building will remain open throughout
the day where many prize drawings
of local students will be on exhibit.
Several freshmen will be on hand
to act as guides. They will be station­ed
at.the registration table which will
be placed at the Main Gate. Stu-.
dents are urged to register their par­ents
immediately upon arrival in
town. Registration will begin at nine
o'clock in the morning and continue
until eleven. Parents who are guests
of fraternities will write the name of
the fraternity beside their signature
and a check-up will be made after
registration" is complete to determine
which fraternity has the largest pro­portional
representation of parents
present. A loving cup will be award­ed
the fraternity with the highest
percentage of Mothers and Dads here.
About nine-thirty o'clock Satur­day
morning the entire R. 0. T. C.
unit will be reviewed by visiting par­ents.
The Engineers, Artillery, and
Mounted Battery units will all par­ticipate.
It has always been the cus­tom,
on this day, to have two parents
to be in the reviewing stand during
the parade.
All Keys members .will wear badges
throughout the day and will show
visitors about the campus and act as
informators.
seae Tentative arrangements call for
the public part of the regular Keys
initiation to take place downtown
sometime Saturday morning.
The last entertainment of the day
will be furnished by the "A" club
when they sponsor the "Homecoming"
dance which is to be given in Alumni
gymnasium Saturday night. Danc­ing
will begin at nine o'clock and con­tinue
until twelve. Visiting parents
will probably be admitted a^> specta­tors
with no admission charge.
Students Be Entertained
By Orleans Alumni Group
Ed Prewitt, head cheerleader,
today received a letter from the
president of the Alumni Associa­tion
in New Orleans, inviting all
students who will be in the Cres­cent
City on Friday night prior
to the Tulane game to attend the
formal opening of the new Tu­lane
gymnasium. The invitation
was extended by the Tulane Ath­letic
Association to Auburn stu­dents,
and it was pointed out that
Auburn students would also be
welcomed at the dance in the gym
which will follow the dedication
ceremonies.
All of the fraternities on the
Tulane campus will hold open>
house for visitors, as will the
New Orleans Athletic Club on
Friday, Saturday, and Sunday.
Both out-of-town Auburn and
Tulane men will be taken care of.
The Alumni Association will
hold a banquet Friday evening at
six-thirty on the roof of the Bien­ville
Hotel at which a number of
prominent Auburn alumni will be
present. The alumni group has
asked that the coaches and the
team attend this affair, but it is
as yet undecided as to whether
or not the invitation will be ac­cepted.

procured Congressman Henry B. Stea-gall,
of Ozark, Alabama, as the speak­er
at the Saturday morning exercises
which will be held in Langdon Hall.
Representative Steagall is famed as
a noted orator and politician and of­ficials
of the Auburn post expressed
themselves as being highly pleased
that he would deliver the principal
address of the day.
The annual Legion barbecue will
be given about noon, directly after
the address. Sergeant Moxham will
be in charge of the affair. In past
years he has handled this part of the
entertainment and he promises an­other
of his successful affairs. The
Legion Auxiliary will assist in pre­paring
the barbecue and Mrs. George
Trollope will head a committee, to
"work with Sergeant Moxham. Tickets
for the barbecue will be on sale at
all down town drug stores and will
sell for thirty-five cents. . All pro­ceeds
above actual expenses will be
used to send to Auburn schools sev­eral
children of high school and gram­mar
school age.

FRESHMEN DEFEAT
POWERFUL LANIER
AGGREGATION 25-0
Auburn Frosh Gridders Score
In Every Quarter With Pow­erful
Running Attack
MANY SUBSTITUTIONS
Practically Every Member Of
Squad Is Allowed To Play
In One-Sided Contest
Displaying a mighty offense and
an air-tight defense, Auburn's power­ful
freshman team crushed Sidney
Lanier's Poets Friday night 25 to 0
in Montgomery.
Auburn's gridders scored in every
quarter, and had not Coach Jordan
elected to send a steady stream of
substitutes in during the entire game,
the score would have been much great­er.
The Auburn mentor used thirty-eight
players during the struggle.
The Poets fought a great defensive
battle but were no match for the fine
assortment of football players which
wore the Orange and Blue. The only
scoring gesture made by the losers
came in the second period when Cap­tain
Joe Kilgore, the Poet's all-South­ern
star, got loose for 24 yards and
was downed by Scarbrough, the Tiger
safety man.
Coach Jordan presented an array
of elusive and hard running backs
against Lanier. Rupert Scott, scin­tillating
left half, led the Tiger at­tack
in as dazzling a display of speed
and broken field running as has ever
been seen in Cramton Bowl. Scott
gained 80 yards in six attempts, aver­aging
13 yards a try. Robert Huie,
former Deatsville star, played a nice
game at right half, showing all-around
ability. Joe Bob Mitchell,
Karam, Roy Allen, Kilgore, Tipper,
Scarbrough, and McElroy all stoo,d
out in Auburn's backfield during the
game.
The entire Auburn line worked in
unison, and thwarted the Lanier plays
before they could get started. Rog­ers,
at right tackle, Gantt, at center,
McCrosky, left guard, and Cone and
Roton at ends turned in great per­formances.

t ) r . L. N. Duncan and Mr. P.
O. Davis combined business with
pleasure last weekend when they
accompanied the team to the
Washington game and attended «
to several business matters of
particular importance to the in­stitution.
Mr. Davis, while in the capitol
city, discussed the condition of
radio station WAPI with mem­bers
of the radio commission and
arranged some matters in connec­tion
with his chairmanship of the
Alabama Cotton Textile Relations
Board. Various matters regard­ing
agriculture in this section
were attended to by Dr. Duncan.
Senator Hugo Black, Mr. Hugh
Grant, former Auburn man and
secretary to Senator Black, and
Colonel John T. Kennedy, former
P. M. S. & T. here were among
those who visited Dr. Duncan and
Mi-. Davis during their stay in
Washington.
On the return trip, they stop­ped
off in Atlanta to attend a
meeting of the executives of seven
southern institutions. Plans were
laid for cooperation with the Ten­nessee
Valley Authority in ar­ranging
agricultural, industrial,
and social conditions in the valley
area. Alabama, Tennessee, Miss­issippi,
Georgia, Kentuck, Vir­ginia,
and North Carolina, were
the states represented at the
meeting.
During the gathering, Dr. Dun­can
was appointed state commit­teeman
in charge of operations in
this state, and he was designated
to attend the next meeting.

Roosevelt as National Scabbard and
Blade Day.
L Company, 5 Regiment, the local
company at Auburn, is to observe
this event by a special meeting on
Friday, October 27 at twelve o'clock

Preparations have been made for a
giant mass meeting to be held to­morrow
night, according to an an­nouncement
by head cheerleader Ed
Prewitt, at which time the team will
board the southbound Piedmont Lim­ited
for New Orleans where they will
meet Tulane's Green Wave. The mass
meeting will be called at about seven
fifteen and the band will lead a pa­rade
to the railway station.
The annual sendoff of the team to
meet Tulane has always been one of
the peppiest meetings of the season
and practically the entire student
body is expected to be present for
the occasion. Although no torches
will be displayed and no fancy cos­tumes
will be worn, there is a possi­bility
that the name of the school in
flaming letters will be carried at the
head of the parade.
At least two former cheerleaders
will be present on the occasion to as­sist
in the leading of yells, and the
band has prepared several special
numbers for the occasion.
Between six and eight hundred stu­dents
thronged the station platform
on Sunday night to cheer the Tigers
upon their return from the season's
only intersectional game played with
George Washington University in the
Capitol City. The'band was present
to play for the occasion, and mem­bers
of the student body greeted the
team and coaching staff with pro­longed
yells and songs. Following
the rally at the station, the band led
a parade of students up college street
to Langdon Hall where the meeting
was concluded.
At the present time it is undecided
as to whether or not the band will
make the trip to New Orleans for the
game with Tulane.

By Fred Birdsong
The peer of modern travelers,
Richard Halliburton, was in Auburn
Monday night. And what a traveler.
He spoke to one of the largest crowds
that has been seen in Langdon Hall
this year. Except for a vacant seat
' here and thei'e, the house was packed.
Halliburton spoke chiefly of his
trip around the world in his beauti­ful
and fantastic airplane, the "Fly­ing
Garpet." He told three extreme­ly
interesting excerpts from his lat­est
book which was written about his
flying trip. There was one about the
enchanting city of Bagdad and a six­teen-
year-old prince, one about Per­sia,
and two beautiful three-hundred-fifty
pound princesses; and the last
was about a doubtful acquisition of
twelve well cured human heads pre­sented
by the "head-huntingest of all
the Borneo head-hunters". Hallibur­ton
kept the audience wide-awake and
interested for the whole period with
his most interesting and whole-heart­ed
method of recounting his story.
He literally swept the audience out
of their seats, onto his magic carpet
and away to the far east.
After the lecture, Mr. Halliburton
was deluged with admirers seeking
to shake his hand or obtain an auto­graph.
He didn't disappoint a single
one of them. It is really surprising
that the man managed to do all that,
considering the fact that he had not
had his supper.
Halliburton is quite interested in
colleges since he lectures almost ex­clusively
to college audiences. Add
to that the fact that he attended
Princeton, and was editor of the paper
there, it is easy to see that there was
very little trouble in getting him to
submit to quite an interview.
He seemed quite certain of the one
adventure that was to him the most
romantic of all. It was his swim
through the Panama Canal. He swam
through the canal, going through the
same procedure in getting through
that a large 'ocean liner must go
through. He was locked through,
taking just as much water and just
as much power as the largest boat
afloat. For this trip he paid the
authorities by displacement tonnage
—about fifteen cents per lock in his
case. However, there were other as­pects
of this trip that tended to break
the drab monotony of a fifty mile
swim. For instance, in parts of the
canal, there were sharks and barra­cudas
who were rushing head over
heels to make a breakfast of Halli­burton.
As a rather .precautionary
measure against these beasts, he had
a motor boat to go along there with
him to frighten the aforementioned
away by the churning of propellers.
He said that he "supposed" that it
must have worked. You can readily
see the adventurous possibilities of
such a trip.

THOUSAND FANS LOOK ON
Colonials Flash Powerful Offensive As They
Avenge Tie With Clemson; Plainsmen Out­played
In Every Department Of Contest
AUBURN ATTACK HELD IN CHECK
AFTER SCORING IN FIRST PERIOD
Capitol City Team Rolls Up Seventeen First
Downs To Six For Wynnemen And Gains
More Than Three Times As Much Yardage
A powerful George Washington University eleven, suffering
from a tie game with Clemson College last week, lashed out Satur­day
and dealt Auburn's Tigers a crushing 19 to 6 defeat before
20,000 fans.
Except for the first few minutes of play during which Au­burn
capitalized a break and converted it into a touchdown, the
Plainsmen were completely outplayed by the heavier Colonials.
G. W. scored once in the second quarter and twice in" the final
period.
Statistics of the game reveal that George Washington made
17 first downs to Auburn's 6, the last two for the Tigers coming
as the result of penalties. In yardage, the winners gained 279 on
running plays and completed three of twelve passes for 49 yards,
giving them a total gain of 328, while Auburn marched 82 yarcls
on running plays and gained nothing on passes. None of Phipps'
six passes were completed. Two were intercepted.
•Ariail, in the absence of McCollum,
who was out of the game because of
injuries, kicked off to Parrish on G.
W.'s 20-yard line, and he returned
nine to George Washington's 29-yard
line. Leemans went through left
tackle for one yard, being stopped by
Chrietzberg. Bomba hit center for
three, but fumbled on the next play
on an attempted end run and Ariail
recovered for Auburn on the 29-yard
stripe. .
On the first play, Phipps circled
right end for five yards. Phipps, on
a spinner, made four more yards.
Rogers took it through left guard for
a first down. Rogers again took the
ball, this time around left end and
cut back for a 9 yard gain. Phipps
made it a first down on G. W.'s ten-yard
line. Phipps added two more on
a long run around left end. Rogers
took the ball over for a touchdown
from the 8 yard line after a fake
reverse from Phipps. Ariail failed
to kick goal. Score: Auburn 6,
George Washington 0.
Ariail kicked off to Leeman who
received the ball on the goal line and
returned it 29 yards. McCarver re­placed
F. Parrish at right half and
gained two yards through left tackle.
Bomba, on the next play, bombarded
his way through, right tackle for 17
yards. Fenton broke through and
spilled Bomba for a 3 yard loss. Mc­Carver
attempted to go through cen­ter
but was stopped at the line of
scrimmage by Chrietzberg for no gain.
The ball now on George Washing­ton's
43 yard line, third down and
13 to go. A pass, Leemans to Mc­Carver,
was incomplete, the ball be­ing
grounded by Phipps. Leemans
kicked over the goal line, and Auburn
took possession of it on her own 20
yard line, first and ten.
On a fake punt formation, the ball
was given to Talley who went through
center for four yards. On a reverse
play, Talley again took the ball and
added two more yards. Rogers punt­ed
out of bounds on G. W.'s 27 yard
tine. McCarver's attempted pass to
Itinerary Is Planned For Auburn Players Road Trip;
Ransom Racket Will Be Presented In Adjoining Towns
Itinerary is now being arranged
for a road trip in Alabama by the
Auburn players who will present the
ultra-modern melodrama, "Ransom
Racket," during the week of Novem­ber
19 to 25.
Prof. Telfair Peet, director, is now
in communication with a number of
clubs, high schools, and parent-teach­er
groups in several Alabama towns
and cities who are planning to spon­sor
the presentation of the play. Ar­rangements
are being made whereby
the troop may travel at minimum
expense and proceeds from the shows
are divided between the players and
the sponsors. A second road trip is
contemplated during the week of De­cember
4 to 9.
Opening scenes of the play take
place in a New York apartment house
with the plot being modern in every
respect. The play depicts the present
epidemic of kidnaping in which a so­ciety
girl is taken captive by a gang
of crooks who find in a short while
that they have kidnaped far more
than they bargained for.
Cast for the play includes Geor­gia
Lee Jackson, Clairmont Springs,
Ruth Jones, Birmingham, Ella Fran­ces
South, Birmingham, Emmett
Rogers, Russellville, Leonard Nelson,
Merchantsville, N. J., Franklin Wood­ruff,
Rome, Ga., and Billy Womels-dorf,

Birmingham is president of the Au­burn
Players.

guard and gained one yard. Mc­Carver,
on an attempted left end run,

to Benefield, and the ball
went over to Auburn on her own 16
yard line.

yards. Rogers make six around left
end. First down on the 30 yard line.
On a reverse play, Rogers to Talley,

left end run, made four yards. Third
down and six. Hickman replaced
Strayer at right guard for G. W.
Rogers, from his own 32 yard line,
kicked to Leemans on his 25, but the
ball was brought back and Washing­ton
penalized 15 yards for clipping,
giving the ball to Auburn on G. W.'s
47 yard line, first and ten. Phipps,
on a reverse, failed to gain through
the line as the first quarter ended.
Score: Auburn 6, George Washing­ton,
0.
'A reverse, Phipps to Tallay, failed
to gain. Clark, Colonial right tackle,
was hurt on the play, and was re­moved
from the game. Kolker re­placed
him. Phipps, on a pass over
the center of the line, failed to find

it to Auburn's 44. Bomba gained 7
yards around right end, being stopped
by Williams and Phipps. He blasted
four more through left tackle for a
first down on Auburn's 35. On the

end run, but lost three yards, making
it third down and 8 on. Auburn's 35.

WORLD AFFAIRS
Every- college student of today should be
vitally interested in the present national
and international affairs, since it will be
only a short time before these students will
be the governing factors of the nation.
Still more important is it that today's con­ditions
be known, since many important
issues are pending that might easily make
history.
While war clouds are thickening over
Geneva, President Roosevelt is proceeding
with negotiations with Russia which may
result in the recognition of the Soviet gov­ernment
by the United States. For' a long
time now, Russia has been left to itself
and virtually- not accepted as a member of
the civilized world. No .diplomatic rela­tions
have been maintained with this coun­try,
and very little trade has been carried
on between the Soviet" and the United
States. In fact, it is hoped that by renew­ing
relations with this large country, a
new market for American made goods will
be created. Russia has gone through a
long period of reorganization and rebuild­ing,
and now sufficient progress is in evi­dence
to allow for a continuance of eco­nomic
and diplomatic relations. It should
be understood though, that recognition of
the Soviet government will not necessarily
mean approval of it.
Germany followed in the footsteps of
Japan when she withdrew unceremonious­ly
from the League "of Nations. She re­fused
to take further interest, in the world
disarmament conference which is in ses­sion
at the present time, since she would-not
be allowed an army and a navy as
large as some of the other countries. She
asked for the withdrawal of the terms of
the Versailles Treaty which ended the
World War and attempted to convey the
idea that she has been a martyr to human­ity
for the past fifteen years. Evidently
she is overlooking the reparations mora­torium
and the fact that it was herself
who began the hostilities of the previous
war. Her plea is that the German people
as a whole did not want-to fight, but that
they were forced to do so by tyrannic
leaders. If these things were true, Ger­many
should have every desire to remain
in the international conference which is
striving for eternal world peace.
Meanwhile, along the German-Austrian
front, continued unrest is prevalent be­cause
Hitler sympathizers in Austria are
attempting to introduce the Nazist form
of government into that country, while the
majority of the people are violently op­posed
to it.
In our own country, the NRA is fast
breaking up the financial depression which
has held the entire world in its grasp for
several years. Jobless have been return­ed
to work, a living wage has been grant­ed
every laborer, child labor has been elimi­nated,
and the buying power of the na­tion
has been restored. Millions upon mil­lions
of dollars are being expended by the
government in the gigantic program which
is being carried out to restore prosperity
to the land. All of this is the outgrowth
of a plan devised by our fearless and pro­gressive
president, who is* proceeding to
bring the country out of the hole without
once blundering.
Thirty-two states now have voted to re­peal
the eighteenth amendment, and it is
only a matter of one month before enough
states will have voted to assure repeal.
After there is no more eighteenth amend­ment,
what then? How will the control of
liquor be exercised so that the revenue from
its sale will be used for the improvement
of economic conditions? Numerous- plans
are being devised and suggested, but the
one which will be put into effect is as yet
undetermined.
Here in Alabama we find the educational
system in dire straights with no relief in
sight. Money is needed for the continuance
of the public school system and still the
Legislature has provided no solution to the
problem confronting it. Countless other
local, national, and international affairs
are pending which will necessitate intelli­gent

The International Relations Club here is
doing excellent work in holding discussions
on national and international affairs and
as many students as possible should take
part in its activities. Careful attention
should be paid to the daily accounts of
general conditions which are being carried
in all of the newspapers, and some thought
should be put on each of them by the mem­bers
of the student body with the idea in
mind of being prepared to meet any
emergency which may arise.
DECREASE IN POPULATION
The Employment Stabilization Research
Institute recently published a bulletin in
which a forecast was made by professor
of economics Alvin H. Hansen and Tillman
M. Sogge, research assistant, predicting
that the population of Minnesota would be­come
stationary by 1970.
In time past such a statement would have
been viewed with much ado and alarm.
Even today such a statement would re­ceive
immediate attention and action by
that peer of "muscle men," * Mussolini, or
the glorified soap-box cheer leader, Hitler.
These men are frankly following the old
dictates that wars must have their cannon
fodder, and new soils must be settled by
new people.
But in our nation and in our state we
are neither bent on warfare nor conquest.
The enlightened will not view with alarm
a declining population ratio. Our .concern
is not for more people but for better people."
And there is no more eloquent and strik­ing
proof of this statement than our cur­rent
depression.. It is a depression largely
due to the fact that we can produce more
than we can consume. The consumption
of goods has fallen to the extent wherein
production is subnormal. Unfortunately
the greatest percentage of our unemployed
are from the ranks of production or fac­tory
workers. In times past, our Ameri­can
army of unemployed would comprise
the armies of conquest and the nucleus of
settlement for conquested lands. But the
lower stratum of society is without pur­pose
in the current depression. Through
humanitarian measures this group is be­ing
aided, but if they continued to multiply
their care would become of vital concern
to those who, by sheer ability, are able to
find sustenance.
It is for this reason, if for no other, that
a stable population should be hailed rather
than condemned. It has been but a matter
of half a decade when we all heard the
demand of business executives, when one
concern reached an annual business of 443
millions of dollars, that more sales effort
and more goods must be sold during the
following year. The hue and cry at that
time was for more business, more volume,
more units of goods moved into the hands
of many, with but moderate, and some­times
non-existing, profit margins. The
trend today is for less sales but more
profit.—Minnesota Daily.
AFTER REPEAL
"Satisfactory solution of the problem of
alcohol requires elimination of the private
profit motive in the retail sales of liquor."
So said the Rockefeller Foundation, in a
recently-published excerpt from the report
of a detailed study of the problem of retail
liquor sales, to be made public soon.
To accomplish this, the researchers have
brought forward what is called the "State
Alcohol Control Authority Plan." Details
of the planhave as yet not been announced,
but it is essentially a plan to remove the
profit which private individuals once found
in the liquor trade. Whether this is to be
accomplished by having the individual
states take over the manufacture and sale
of alcohol, or by. strictly limiting the sale
by individuals, has not yet been announc­ed.
The Rockefeller Foundation scientists
rejected most emphatically any plan for
license or taxation regulation. These, they
said, failed of their purpose by not remov­ing
the profit from private sale of liquor.
The necessity for removing the profit mo­tive
cannot be denied. Temperate or mod­erate
use of alcohol will be impossible as
long as the profit to centain individuals
depends upon the amount consumed by the
public. Whether the state governments

TO CHURCH Sunday and met some of
the finest people I know. And the
minister's telling me he was glad I
came made me feel better than I have felt
in a month.
I am glad I'm a member of that church,
and know such people.

I heard a true football story on the radio
the other night that set me thinking. The
team had won the championship of their
conference the year before, and had prac­tically
the same team again. They were
playing another good team of the conference
and went in at the half with the score 13 to
0 against them. They were nervous, keyed
up to a high pitch, and were playing as if
the game meant everything in the world
to them.
They sat in the locker room with their
heads hanging, a team that was thoroughly
beaten. An assistant coach begin to talk.
"You are the lousiest bunch of players I
ever saw", he told them, "you are nothing
but a bunch of dirty yellpw quitters."
The head coach came in and motioned for
the assistant to stop. He walked in front
of his team- and looked at the listless
faces. "Boys", he said to them, "you are
taking this game too seriously. You are
playing this game as if it were a life and
death affair. It is not. I don't care much
if you win or not. I want you to know that
this game doesn't mean' everything in the
world. I want you to go out there in the
second half and have some fun; go in there
and relax, and enjoy the game. I'm not go­ing
to say anything about the way you
have played. You know the mistakes you
have made, and you know' the way to cor­rect
them. Now go out there and enjoy the
game."
The team went back for the second half
and did' a war dance behind the goal posts
before lining up for the kickoff. The old
tenseness was gone; the old nervousness,
and the players went about the game as if
they were playing a practice session with
their freshmen. They scored 34 points in
the last half and won the game 34 to 13.
That is something to think about.
This Auburn team won its way to the
championship of the Southeastern Confer­ence
last year, and started on its way to its
second championship this year. By the time
we got to Georgia Tech the players were
'keyed up and thought that the game was a
life and death case. The honor of the school
seemed to hinge on our beating Tech. Now
we have been beaten by Tech and George
Washington.
We still have to play Tulane, Duke, and
Georgia; the strongest teams in the confer­ence,
and there are some people who will
throw up their hands and think that all
is lost if those teams beat Auburn. That
isn't the way to look at it. The honor of
the' school or the turn of fortune doesn't
hinge on a football game. It is good to
win, but #here can't be wins all of the time.
Auburn still faces the hardest part of
its schedule. If the critics of the team will
keep quiet and let the team play relaxed
and without thinking winning a football
game is a life and> death matter, Auburn
will win most of the remaining games.
And if we don't win another game this year,
there'll be nothing for some of these
"amateur coaches" arid drug store cow-boys
to holler about . . . they do nothing for the
support of the team.
If these crepe hangers who bemoan the
Auburn team will let the coaches and play­ers
play the remainder of the games as they
see fit, and without any help from the so-called
crepe hangers, the Auburn team will
get along better.

Radio Stuff: One of the best programmes
on the air is the Cities-Service programme.
It has the least commercial advertising of
any programme on the air. Last Friday
night selections from Victor Herbert's
"Chocolate Soldier" were played, along
with other numbers of the same type . . . .
with a little jazz thrown in. The pro­gramme

a really finer tenor I. don't know. Listen

should go into the liquor business, we do
not know. It might, however, be an ex­cellent
thing, directly in keeping with the
present tendencies of the government to
dominate or socialize industry. Regulation
of a private liquor industry, in the past,'
was a complete failure. Public ownership
could hardly be much worse.
And then there is Joe Purvis, one of Alma Mammy's most illustrious alumni.
Last week he played football with Georgia on Friday, flew to the Capitol City to
play with George Washington, and then sprinted across the country and got ahead
of time 'far enough to play the last three quarters of the game between the Univer­sity
of California and Washington State. Whattaman! Well do you remember the
afternoon, when right here on our campus, he broke the world's record in the discuss
by sailing the platter from the South end of the football field all the way over the
baseball scoreboard, and followed up this performance by throwing the javelin out
in the road by the side of the' gym for his second world's record of the day, but
was everyone startled when he caught up an entire lap on his shadow to break the
record for the half mile run.

Found an authoritative statement the other day saying that the- five most
heavily endowed universities in the United States were Harvard, Yale, Columbia,

According to a psychological study of several years of Purdue University
college students, some of the causes for worry and the percentage of students per­plexed
by these are: studies, 42 percent; financial, 30 percent; family affairs, 15
percent; religion, 4 percent; and affairs of the heart, only nine percent. With
that consolidated dating agency in operation here, it seems as if some of the co-eds
had read about this and were trying to bring the last item up to a great deal higher
position on the list.

Students at the Cooper Union Institute of Technology (New York) were
unawave of the fact that they had a football team until the football manager of

We see where an enterprising Yale journalist is contemplating the printing
of a hitch-hikers guide for the benefit of the Elis who bum their way to New York

are certainly a lot of past masters here who might write their own books.

A Freshman at the University of Chica­go,
bewildered by the questions asked on
an examination, and searching for an alibi
for his inexcusably complete ignorance,
wrote on his paper, "Only God knows" the

Some years ago, the manager of a Dublin
theatre wagered with a group of friends
that he could introduce a new word in to
the English language overnight. The word
was to be entirely new and hitherto mean­ingless
and firmly established within twen­ty-
four hours if the wager was to be won.
That night, the theatre manager, together
with a group of cronies; went through the
streets of Dublin, chalking on the walls and
pavements the four letters QUIZ. Next
morning, the town was wondering as to
the interpretation of this new combination
of letters. The populace, perplexed, debat­ed
the question from all angles, and finally
the word had gained so firm a hold in the
minds of the people, that it was adopted as
a synonym for questioning. So—don't con­sider
too seriously this matter of "quizzing",
for it's just an Irishman's joke!—John­sonian.

What is News? It seems that it is red'
toenails of coeds. Monday a young femi­nine
reporter of the Minnesota Daily ob­tained
a story from unofficial sources of
the propensity of entering freshman women
for painting their toe nails red. Tuesday
the story appeared in the Daily. Wednes­day
the United Press sent it over a network
to 400 daily newspapers.
And Thursday the ultimate was reached
when Arthur Brisbane, known as the world's
highest paid editorial writer, used the item
in his daily column, stuffed between a story
of Japanese finance and an item of the
powers of Aimee Semple McPherson.
The Brisbane comment reads: "Civiliza­tion
is spreading. Students at the coedu­cational
University of Minnesota rej>ort
that one in every 20 of the girl students
paints her toe nails. Farther east, the
number of toenail painters is considerably
greater. Many wear stockings and shoes
that revail the painted toe nails, for it is
useless to paint your toenails if nobody sees
them."—Minnesota Daily.,

The editor of the Reflector which is the
paper of the Mississippi State College wrote
an "editorial on a wise trick that a few of
the freshmen at the State College pulled.
He says that the Freshmen thought they
would outwit the upper classmen by shav­ing
their heads now and thus give their
hair time to grow out before the Christmas
holidays. - Then the editor says that the
upperclassmen were not intending to cut
off their hair, and that after all, the joke
was on the wise freshmen.

PATRIOTISM is costly. But it wasn't
costly last Saturday because nobody
would bet on G. W. According to
comparative scores . Auburn was thirty
points bettex than the Washington team.
But we lost. It looks like the Tigers are
gradually drifting back to their old habit
of winning moral victories, after a year of
losing them. Anyway a moral victory is
•better than a regular victory because it
isn't so hard to win.

Mae West in her highly touted picture
turned out to be disappointing to me. The
upholstered torso is probably O. K. that's
not the main kick, but that exaggerated
slrut and flabby face are awful. The dia­logue
was clever if you go in for the sort
that just barely manages to pass the censor.
Considering the fact that she wrote the
^dialogue herself, I'd say that the prize line
was where she remarked to her negroid
lady's maid that "When I was born with
a face like this it was like being born with
a million dollars". Hell, Mae, if your face

HEAR HALLIBURTON
SPEAK ON TRAVELS
(Continued from Page 1)
Halliburton also remarked that
such a trip as his first would be im­possible
today because of economic
changes. When he set out, there was
quite a demand for hands aboard
vessels headed for foreign ports, and
|these boats paid rather fair wages.
Today, there are only about one tenth
as many boats sailing, and these have
ten times as many applicants as they
can hire, consequently the pay is low
and the jobs hard to get.
And just for your information,
that furniture that he sold to finance
his first trip was his to sell—a good
thing too for he had precious little to
start out on anyway.
Taking Halliburton as a man, you'd
never know that he was famous, but
you'd know that he ought to be. "Mr.
Halliburton", he was asked, "how
does it feel to be a celebrity?" For
the first time he was up a tree. He
didn't know how it felt. He really
didn't.
Unofficially, and very indefinitely
he stated that his next trip would
probably be a tour of America. He
is putting that one off because he
thinks romantic adventures won't be
nearly so romantic when it's in your
