PROGRAM PLANNED
Blue Key To Sponsor Regular
Campus Affairs During Com­ing
Year; To Tap At Dances
Sixteen seniors were elected to
membership in Blue Key national
honor society, in the annual fall elec­tion
held last night. Those honored
are Fred Chalmers, Birmingham;
Julian Greer, Sheffield; Fred Chap­man,
Grove Hill;. Horace Shepard,
Mobile; Joe Ledbetter, Anderson, S.
C; Lloyd Richey, Birmingham; Jus­tin
Morrill, Mobile; Herbert Harris,
Gadsden; Scotty McRae, Birmingham;

Beck, Charleston, S. C ; B. W. Apple-ton,
Collinsville; Nelson Snow, Bir­mingham;
Dozier Howard, Columbus,
Ga.; George Spann, Dothan; and D.
K. Mason, Marion. All have been
prominent in campus activities dur­ing
their three years in Auburn.
The purpose of Blue Key is to
study, discuss, and strive to further
the best interests of the school, to'
promote a spirit of fraternalism
among the students, to foster inter­collegiate
relationships, and to de­velop
a national spirit by placing a
stamp of approval upon college lead­ers
which will make it possible to
recognize them wherever found.
Members of the local chapter carry
out these aims by discussing prob­lems
of the school during luncheons
given at regular intervals and by
sponsoring several campus activities
during each college year. One of
the latest affairs which has been
sponsored by this organization is the
presentation of an honor societies ball
just prior to Christmas of each year.
Only members of the various honor
societies are allowed. to attend this
.function. It has been the custom of
the fraternity for the past few years
to distribute programs at the base­ball
games also. That the first lunch­eon
of the current session will be held
on Wednesday, September 27 was an­nounced
by Randolph White, presi­dent
of the local group, in connection
with his statement concerning the
election. White further stated that
Blue Key will be hosts at the Fri­day
afternoon tea dance during the
Opening set and that the new mem­bers
will be formally pledged at that
time. '
Other officers for the coming year
are Don pierce, vice-president, and K.
G. Taylor, secretary and treasurer.
MISS MARGARET DeLOACH, of Greensboro, who has been se­lected
by the Social Committee to lead the Sophomore Hop, October

Friday night, the Collegian Club
of that city will sponsor its seventh
annual Auburn-Birmingham South­ern
dance. Music for the occasion
will be furnished by Al Stanley's
twelve piece orchestra. Besides hav­ing
one of the best dance orchestras

scheduled to begin at ten-thirty.
NOTICE!
Will anyone interested in forming
a chess club please get in touch with
Pedro Wagnon, Alumni Hall, room
315 (phone 304), or Charles Robert­son,
Kappa Sigma house.
The final mass meeting before the
Southern game in Montgomery Fri­day
will be held tomorrow night be­ginning
at seven-thirty o'clock.
According to Head Cheerleader
Prewitt, detailed plans for the pa­rade
in Montgomery Friday night will
be outlined and a number of yells will
be practiced. The usual parade with
the band leading the students through
the streets will follow the meeting in
Langdon Hall. All freshmen as es­pecially
urged and required to at­tend
the meeting tomorrow night.
They will be held responsible for
knowing the Alma Mater. The band
will first play the song through and
then the audience will sing it.
The cheerleaders are scheduled to
appear in their new uniforms at the
rally tomorrow night. The uniforms
are of white flannel trimmed in blue
and gold with "Auburn" emblazoned
across the front of the coat.
The senior, sophomore and f resK-man
classes elected Billy Morrison,
Bill McTyeiyre, and Ralph Sargent
respectively as .cheerleaders in class
meetings which were held last Sat­urday
and Monday njght.
Morrison and McTyeiyre are from
Birmingham which Sargent's home is
in Lakeland, Florida. Both Morrison
and McTyeiyre acted as cheerleaders
at the first mass meeting of the year
last Thusrday night. All three of
these men have had experience as
cheerleaders in high school.
The method of electing these men
was different from that of recent
years. Try-outs were held at the
various class meetings at which time
several aspirants for the positions
competed. Each entrant led their re­spective
classes in several yells after
which a popular vote was taken to
determine the selection of one con­testant
from each class.
Ed Prewitt, junior from Mobile,
will act as head, cheer leader this
year. Prewitt was elected freshman
cheerleader his first year in school
and he also served as an assistant
cheerleader last year. He also served
as cheerleader during his senior year
at Murphy High School in Mobile,
Alabama.

HITLER POPULAR
Tells Of Results Of The Pro­g
r am In Germany And In
Other Nations
"Both good and bad is Prof. John
W. Roe's characterizations of the Hit­ler
Regime in Germany.
Recent travel by him in Southern
Germany where brown-shirted youths
sport the everpresent swastika and
shout "Heil Hitler" on every hand,
together with 15 months of contact
with academic minds in study at the
University of Strassburg, Alsace,
gives Professor Roe this terse epi­tome
of the Nazi program.
There is no doubt, he says, but that
Herr Hitler has aroused in Germany
an active feeling of nationalism equal
to that of pre-war years under the
Kaiser.
Despite the obvious ill-effects of
the program, Professor Roe feels that
ultimately it will result in "great
good for Germany". For, he explain­ed,
it is uniting the Germans, rebuild­ing
their national pride, and it marks
the German determination "to get up
and do something instead of forever
occupying the lowly rating of the
Versailles Treaty.
To Professor Roe the awakening in
Germany appears quite similar to the
nation-wide action which President
Roosevelt and his NRA program have
launched in America. "The Gewnan
people are waking^ip", he said, "they
apparently will accomplish great
things under their new leader".
On the other hand, Professor Roe
pointed to the unfavorable results of
the program in Germany. "In the
first place," he said, "it has put
France in a twitter of nervous appre­hension.
The French are actually
afraid. One can see French soldiers
on every harid and there is no ques­tion
but that the French are not only
armed but are augmenting their army
for any emergency "feared by the ac-tiving
in Germany. Along the Rhine
fortifications are being strengthened.
"At present the Hitler program is
driving much capitol out of Germany.
Huge sume of money have been se­cretly
withdrawn from Germany and
deposited in French banks. If this
continues, of course, its results will
seriously affect the economic situa­tion
in Germany.

Auburn's . 1933 football season will
open Friday night in Montgomery
when the Plainsmen meet Birming­ham-
Southern at Cramton Bowl. The
game will begin at 8 o'clock.
Continued rough work and scrim­mages
have been the daily fare of
the Wynnemen during the past few
weeks. Except for the absence of
Haygood Paterson, tackle, and Jack
Kemp, end, and possibly Bunky
O'Rourke, sophomore halfback, who
has been called home on account of
the death of his father, the Tigers
will enter the contest in good condi­tion.
Several minor bruises have bob­bed
up, but they are expected to be
ironed out by game time Friday night.,
Coach Wynne will be "able to put a
team of veterans on the field against
Southern. Nine seniors and two jun­iors
are expected to get the call to
start.
Will Chrietzberg, is expected to get
the opening assignment in the center
of the line, although Fred Black, Bar­ney
Musgrove, Gilbert McMillan, and
Leo Landers will probably see service
before the game is over.
Alternate-Captain Boots Chambless
and Mike Welch will more than like­ly
start at the two guard positions.
Commodore Wood, Mike Levi, Leslie
Woodall, Norman Houston, Red Wat­son,
and Collins Fenton will probably
relieve them as the contest pro­gresses.
There is not much doubt as to the
two starting tackles. Buddy McCol-lum
and Tiny Holmes have been show­ing
up exceptionally well in the prac­tice
sessions, and both should have
great seasons this year. Bing Miller,
Dan Lawson, Mutt Morris, Ralph
Tolve, Welch Huckaby, and Harold
McFaden will serve as understudies.
Gump Airail and Benny Fenton are
likely starters on the terminals. Au­brey
Hill, Sam Mason, Hershel West,
John Huggins, and Ed. Priester are
other ends who probably will be seen
in action.
Captain Ripper Williams heads the
quarterbacks. Red Head is consider­ed
his chief assistant. Duke Pater­son,
Cleve Brown, and Harry Hooper
round out the signal barking person­nel,
Any or all may be in the thick
of things Friday.
The starting halfbacks will come
from Firpo Phipps, Allen Rogers,
Casey Kimbrell, Ward Wright and
Bobby Blake, although the first two
named are considered the leading bets
for starting places.
The fullback position is a toss up
with Sterling Dupree, Truck Talley,
and Harry Whitfen leading. Dupree
will more than likely get the call.
The punting duties, one of the most
important on the team, will fall to
the lot o$ Allen Rogers and Casey
Kimbrell. These two senior halfbacks
have shown up well in practice, and
with a little- experience, should be
able to perform this function in a
capable manner.

Montgomery Kiwanis Club Holds "Auburn Day'* At
Meeting Yesterday; Coaches And Players Attend
The Montgomery Kiwanis Club
celebrated "Auburn Day" with a
luncheon and special program at the
Jefferson Davis Hotel at noon yes­terday.
This celebration which is an
annual affair, is observed by the Ki-wanians
just before the opening of
the A. P. I. football season. At this
time members of the Auburn Club,
the A. P. I. coaching staff, and the
football team of the guests of the
Montgomery Club.
The program included special mu­sic
and several talks, with "Chet"
Wynne, Head Coach of A. P. I. as
the principal speaker. Coach Wynne
spoke on the "Spirit of the Game."
In his talk he said that the "Auburn
Spirit" was a good example of the
real and genuine thing and that it
took that kind of spirit to win. He
deviated a bit to explain that it
would take the same kind of spirit to
put the N. R. A. program over. -Say­ing,
in closing, that if the spirit was
there the courage that it takes to
keep on fighting would be there also.
Coach Wynne did not make any pre­dictions
on the forth coming games,
but his general attitude seemed to
spell full optimism for a successful
season.
The last part of the program, which
lasted for an hour and was broadcast
over radio station WSFA, included
the music and talks.
Members of the Auburn Club pres­ent
were: L. N. Duncan, P. O. Davis,
Col. R. B. McGehee, Dr. C. S. Yar-brough
and Homer Wright. Those of
the coaching staff were: Coaches
Wynne, Hutsell, Jordan, Hitchcock,
and Grant. The. team was represent­ed
by Capt. Ripper Williams, Cham-bless,
Duke Paterson, and "Red"
Crawford.
Hartwell Davis, an Auburn alum­nus,
Assistant District Attorney in
Montgomery, acted as toastmaster.

SPECIAL ROUND TRIP
RATE GIVEN TO GAME
A special fare of one dollar to
Montgomery and return has been post­ed
by the Western Railway of Ala­bama
for the Auburn-Birmingham
Southern football game Friday night.
The first train on which the ticket
will be good is the westbound 4:17
train Friday afternoon.
Students who make the trip over
the Western route will be allowed to
return on any train up to and includ­ing
the 6:10 east bound train Satur­day
night. This arrangement was
made to permit those who wish the
opportunity to- attend the dance after
the game and to remain in Mont­gomery
over Saturday.
The Alabama section of the Ameri­can
Society of Civil Engineers were
convened in a special meeting last
Friday evening at the Je.fferson Davis
Hotel in Montgomery. Assistant
State Highway Engineer R. D. Jor­dan
called the meeting to order at
seven o'clock and a varied program
was presented which included a de­tailed
description of the program for
the public works bureau of the Na­tional
Recovery Administration.
The meeting opened with a dinner
followed by the business of the even­ing.
Mr. Jordan explained to the as­sembled
engineers that the $12,000,-
000.00 allotted to the State of Ala­bama
by the Federal Government
would be spent in $1,000,000.00 pro­jects
until that sum has been expend­ed.
He went on to say that the pro­jects
would be advertised and bids ac­cepted
on them separately at about
two week intervals. This is quite
different from the old policy of ad­vertising
the improvement program
as a whole and letting the contracts
as soon as possible thereafter. No
official reason for the change in pol­icy
was offered, but as the new policy
will spread the work out over a long­er
period of time it seems to be more
in keeping with the aim of the N. R.
A. in giving as much employment as
possible.
Other speakers were: H. C. Wells,
senior engineer for Alabama of the
U. S. District Bureau of Public
Works, A. J. Speers, State Adminis­trator
of the U. S. Re-employment
service, Mayor Aldridge, Secretary of
the Alabama Advisory Board, Dr. G.
J. Davis, Chief Engineer of the Ad­visory
Board, and H. H. Houk, State
bridge engineer. These men supple­mented
Mr. Jordan's explanation, and
went on to say that the purpose of
the public works program was to
create jobs for the unemployed and
to stimulate all lines of business as
rapidly as possible. Also, that the
awarding of the contracts will be ex­tended
over a period of from four
to six months and will constitute the
chief engineering projects of the
state for the next two years.
The 50 members of the Alabama
Section of the A. S. C. E. who at­tended
the meeting included several
recent Auburn graduates.

Attractive Programs Are Plan­ned
For Feature Meetings;
AH Students Are Invited
On the night of September 6, 1933,
the Agricultural Club which,is one
of the largest and most active chibs
on the campus held its first meeting.
Since all of the agricultural stu­dents
had not registered before the
time of the first meeting, not as many
freshmen were present as had been ex­pected
but several attended. The pur­pose
of this meeting was to acquaint
the freshmen members of the Agri­cultural
school with the old members
of the club, and to try to impress
upon the freshmen the value of at­tending
the club.
Since no other man on the campus
is so fitted for this work, Dean Fun-chess
was given the opportunity of
making the first talk to the club.
His chosen subject was very interest­ing
to both the old and the new mem­bers,
stressing the value of being pre­pared
to meet the situation at hand.
He also bore upon the subject of reg­ular
attendance, and the necessity of
keeping up with the daily attendance.
At Wednesday's meeting, a regular
program was arranged by the pro­gram
committee, which consisted of
an interesting talk by Earl Solomon
on the honors open to students while
in college. Following his talk, Oliver
Manning spoke on traveling as a
means of education. His talk was
derived primarily from his extensive
travels during the past summer.
During the meeting Tisdale was
elected from the Junior class to be
assistant manager for the Ag Fair,
an annual affair on the Ag campus.
This junior manager of the fair will
automatically become senior manager
next fall. Earl Solomon is the pres­ent
senior manager.
For the meeting of the club Wed­nesday
night, Sept. 28, a special pro­gram
has been ararnged, including
several musical' numbers. Both ag
students and all members of other
schools are especially invited to at­tend.
The club will meet each week
on Wednesday evening at seven
o'clock.
NOTICE!
All freshmen who do not have rat
caps may Obtain them by calling at
the gymnasium between the hours of
one and five Thursday afternoon and
presenting a receipt for the fee charg­ed.
According to an announcement by
Hamp Morris, chairman of the stu­dent
social committee, Gordon "Red"
Kibler and has orchestra have been
engaged to furnish the music for the
Sophomore Hop, October 6 and 7.
Kibler is now playing an engage­ment
at the Coliseum Ballroom in
Mansfield, Ohio. During the summer
months he played at "Folly Beach",
Charleston, South Carolina, in his
first southern appearance. Al Katz
and Herbie Kay preceded Kibler at
the popular Carolina resort.
The orchestra features eight vocal­ists
and a flash orchestral set-up.
In writing of Kibler and his hand,
Mr. Thomas S. Stone, president
Southern Radio and Entertainment
Bureau, said that "Mr. Kibler has
more novelties and entertainment fea­tures
than any other orchestra 11
have ever heard, plus a great orches­tral
set-up and four attractive cos­tume
changes."
Morris stated that he "considered
the Committee fortunate in being
able to secure an orchestra of Kib-ler's
calibre to play for the Open­ing's".
Anyone who plans to extend a bid
to the dances is urged to have the
bid card filled out and placed in a
fraternity house, Tiger Drug Store
or Dormitory as soon as possible
since social committee members will
collect all bid cards Saturday, Sept.
23.
All bids on the contract for the
decorating of the Alumni Gymnasium
must be in the hands of Hamp Morris
at the Sigma Nu house, or Justin
Morrill at the Phi Delta Theta house,
by five o'clock Thursday afternoon,
September 21.
Fraternities who plan to give
houseparties during the dance series
are urged to notify Morris or Scotty
Chalmers by tomorrow night.

A special request has* been set to the Ebony Council in care of Randy White

STUDENT TICKETS
At most of Auburn's football games this
fall, students will be placed on the gates
for the purpose of checking up on student
. ticket books. These students will be paid
for seeing that each student uses his or her
own ticket book and that no one except
students enter on the books. Unless the
gatemen do the work conscientiously and
correctly they will be discharged by the
athletic department; and all of the boys
who will be working on the gates are ones
who cannot afford to turn down any out­side
revenue that can be obtained.
Students are asked to cooperate with
these boys in the proper manner. The ad­mission
price to the games is not so stu­pendous
"an amount that one's brother or
friend cannot pay to see them. The repu­tation
of one's girl should certainly be
worth more than is evidenced by some
boys who try to get them in on student
tickets and then argue at length when they
are apprehended. Behavior such as this
is certainly in no way becoming to a sup­posedly
"Southern gentleman".
From another angle it may be pointed
out that by trying to slip people in on the
student tickets, students are depriving the
school of money which is necessary for the
continuance of the athletic program now
being used. It is a well known fact that
the sustenance of athletics is hard enough
under ordinary conditions without the mem­bers
of the student body trying to hinder
matters in this way. Most southern schools
have found it necessary to curtail their
athletic programs to the point where some
are sponsoring only two major sports and
no minor sports, but fortunately Auburn
has not been forced to this extent as yet.
However, if the students insist upon fight­ing
against rather than helping the ath­letic
group, it will be a comparatively short
time before such drastic curtailments will
be in order here. The fee which is paid
for student activities is certainly not ex­cessive
for the number of contests to which
admission is allowed on the athletic pass
book, and it is not hard to discern that full
value is being received.
Finally, students should not take it out
on the gatemen when it becomes necessary
to take up a book. In the past it has been
the usual custom for members of the stu­dent
body to abuse these men in every
possible way, merely because they are do­ing
what they are being paid to do. Cer­tainly
the men working on the gate do not
take" up the books for personal reasons, and
they do not get any compensation based
upon the number they -take up. The situa­tion
which these men are in is easily com­parable
to a bank clerk, who is in no way
obligated to give his friends too much
money on a cashed check just because they
are his friends. It may be noted alsp that
said friends do not hold any prejudice
against said clerk because he does not give
them any extra money.
HARK! THE LADIES!
(Co-ed Editorial)
Although there is no accurate and exact
number of co-eds registered for this semes­ter
yet known, this year's crop seems to
be an increase over last year's. Even then
there were over 350 registered for various
courses here at Auburn. This years in­crease
in enrollment can mean much to the
institution in the way of social life as well
as in an educational manner. Auburn, in
spite of the fact that it has been recognized
as a co-educational school for a good many
years, has never had many women students.
For the past few years, however, the num­ber
has been steadily increasing and this
year the enrollment of "women is the great­est
that it has ever been.
Girls, as well as boys, are beginning to
realize the opportunities offered here at
Auburn. Co-eds are registered in practi­cally
every school in the college, from archi-texture
to engineering. They are deriving
the same benefits as boys, and in many cases
are excelling the male element (or so the
grades indicate).
It has never been disputed, save by some
overbearing young man who is continually
fussing about his dear alma mater being
cluttered up with lipstick and be-rouged fe­males,
that'co-eds can add much to the
social life of the college. Maybe now the
Auburn man will have a variety to pick
front-when he so carefully and condescend­ingly
chooses to honor some girl by his
company. He will have 90 more long dis­tance
calls to Columbus nor trips to Opelika
and Montgomery to find just the girl to
escort to the dances this year. Auburn
seems to have plenty of attractive co-eds
and we are sure that social life around
here will not be stale this winter.
But the most important fact is the know­ledge
that Auburn is becoming each year
more and more co-educational. Co-education
is making the college more attractive to
both male and female high school graduates.
Moreover, it is a step in advancement. No
one can deny that it is a benefit to college
standing and we are sure that it offers a
more attractive aspect to students. Auburn
should view its co-ed enrollment with great­er
interest and attention.
ON PROHIBITION
On February 18 of this year, the Plains­man,
commenting in its editorial columns
upon national prohibition, made the follow­ing
statement: ". . . We are now assured
of the passage of naked prohibition repeal
in both houses of Congress. But it is, doubt­ful
that the necessary majority of the
States will take similar action, although
the convention method will • probably be
used."
The Plainsman's opinion of the matter
was identical with that of most of the news­papers
in the country at that time. Every­one
expected to see the issue shelved in­definitely
after its passage by congress, or
at best to be dragged out over a period of
several years, with perhaps a half dozen
States ratifying the repeal amendment each
year, and the final outcome somewhat doubt­ful.
Few people foresaw what would act­ually
happen.
It is now reasonably certain that the
Eighteenth Amendment will be stricken
from the Constitution before the end of the
year. In every one of the twenty-nine
States that has voted upon the question so
far, the repealists have won by large ma­jorities.
Provisions have been made in
numbers of the remaining states for voting
upon the repeal amendment, and the un­broken
wet parade is expected to continue.
It is true that after the repeal of nation­al
prohibition there will still be the problem
of state control. Numerous plans have been
evolved, but little has yet been done by the
individual states in anticipation of the time
when they themselves will have the problem
to contend with. A little preliminary ac­tion
would not be amiss.
The significant thing about the repeal
of national prohibition is that the American
people have awakened to the fact that mor­ality
can be legislated, but unless the legis­lation
meets with the approval of the great
majority of the people, it can not be en­forced.
After thirteen years of trial, the
"noble experiment" has proved itself a dis­mal
failure. The non-alcoholic Utopia that
was to have been brought about has not ma­terialized.
Whether this has been due to
laxity in methods of enforcement or a defi­nite
antipathy on the part- of the general
public, prohibition as a national measure
has failed. The people of the United States
have shown wisdom, and intelligence in do­ing
away with what ought never to have
existed.

SPADES
Spades is a senior honorary society or­ganized
at Auburn in 1914. The purpose
of the organization is to fill the need of a
senior society, which, wholly independent of
social and other relations, shall seek to
bring together the- most prominent and in­fluential
men of the class, and to establish
a goal for underclassmen which may only
be obtained through concentration on those
things which make men of the highest cal­iber.
On May first of each year ten juniors
are selected to be the active members of
Spades for the ensuing year, the selection
being made by the retiring members. George

THE SWEET little rotund person had
been reducing and, as all girls, she
wanted someone to notice the fact.
Standing before the admiring gaze of a
couple of the boys in the uptown drugstore
she challenged: "I'll bet you can't guess
how much I weigh now".
One of them arose and accepted the chal­lenge.
He stood in front of her and pulled
pencil and paper from his pocket, and start­ed
writing. His eyes paid close attendance
to her charms.
"Ten pounds for this", he said. "Ten
pounds for that. Ten pounds that way;
ten pounds this way. Pounds up, pounds
down; so many all the way around".
He stood back. "Little girl", he said,
"you weigh one hundred and ten . . . No.
Turn around. Now I see, Little girl, you
weigh one hundred and thirty pounds."
Moral: A look from behind the scenes is
worth two from the balcony.

Out of four shindigs held by the four
sororities this past week I made one. And
the first thing they did was to ask me not
to write anything about them in this lovely
column.
I don't suppose, however, they would mind
my saying I had a really nice time, and
the girls are the nicest bunch in town, and
I enjoyed taking one of them to the dance
afterwards, and I drank half of my coffee
without milk or cream because I was rather
busily engaged in looking into some very
nice green eyes, and I really didn't know
it was coffee because I wasn't thinking
about the coffee, and I ate half a plate
of mints before somebady took them away,
and somebody brought me a glass of water,
and I felt mighty fine, and decided that
girls are & whole lot nicer than I might
think at times. And I hope they don't
mind my writing this.

She said no. She'd take potato salad.
And would I try to be. A little less smart.
And I would.
She wouldn't say. Who she was. But
she said. She had some gossip. And it

Spread around on the table are a few
of the college weeklies from'other schools.
Well, since I don't like partiality, here goes.
Eni Meni, Mini, Mo, and it comes out on
that illustrious paper from the Cororadb
School of Mines, namely the Oredigger.
Let's see what's on the market in this
paper.
How would this go at Auburn?
An old Mines custom was sadly thrown
into the slag dump last Tuesday when the
frosh showed the conceited and swaggering
Sophs the proper way to pull another group
of' species through the turbid waters of
clear creek.
To the onlookers, who always hope for
miracles to happen it was one of those up­sets
that happen once in a decade. Before
the bewildered and deflated Sophs realized
what had happened the sum of the campus
went to work in a very methodical manner
and dragged the second year men through
the murky waters.
It was all over but the shouting, and in
retaliation for their ignpminous defeat, the
Sophs counter attacked with hand to hand
bog fights and fared no better in that sport.
Covered with humiliation and saturated
with revenge the hopeful '36 gathered to­gether
their remaining hosts and set forth
to avenge their honor that evening at the
Barbecue and again were beaten. The pick
of the two underclasses was chosen and
given short lengths of rope to hog tie their
opponents within a specified time. In the
allotted period the Freshmen were able to
send more Sohpohomes to the asay lab
than the second year men, freshmen.
None of the older men on the campus,
nor any of the faculty members when asked,
were able to recall that the Freshmen had
over trimmed the sophs in the past ten
years. More power to the Frosh. .
Such a tug-o'-war might help limber up
the sophs and bathe the frosh here at Au­burn.
* * * *
Well, which paper will be next? Heads
the Duke Chronicle, tails the Crimson &
White. Jumping crickets, it turns out to
be our good friend the Crimson & White.
Well, from the looks of the front page it
might have been better to have taken the
Chronicle. But hold on, here is some hot-cha
news of the A-l type. From the looks
of this I am under the impression that I
made a mistake by not going to Alabama.
Here is how it goes. Girls living in Tut-wiler
Hall and Annex entertained with a
pajama party Saturday evening from, ten-forty-
five until twelve p.m., honoring the
town girls.
Dancing and merriment completed the
evening.
The pajama party was the last of a
series of entertainments given for the new
girls at the University this year. This
series comprised a program lasting the en­tire
first week of school to acquaint the
freshmen and transfers with their fellow
students and University life.
* * * *
And here is something from the Kentucky
Kernel.
Many students at the University of Ken­tucky
do not relaize that Lexington, for­tunately,
is the home of another school of
higher learning. Transylvania, oldest col­lege
west of the Allegheny mountains, is
also located here, and further adds to the
desirability of the town as an institutional
center.
This year, according to advance reports,
Transy will have the largest student body
in the history of the school. An increase
of approximately 70%. over last year has
been noted in freshman transcripts so far
received at the business office. If the num­ber
of new students is in ration to the
transcripts on file, Transylvania may this
year reach its maximum fqr learning with
the present staff of faculty members.
And here is another clipping.
It is not what you do when you work
that kills but what you do when you do
not work. It is worry and fear that dis­turbs.
It is unnecessary anxiety that makes
for illness. Why not put by those foolish
fears and through all this great year be
fearless and free, strong and glad.
* * * *
The Colorado School of Mines seems to be
the promised land of freshmen according to
"the rules published for the conduct of up-perclassmen
in administering necessary ad­vice
to the rodents. The use of paddles of
any kind is prohibited, the use of belts with
buckles is prohibited, and the excused class
is magnanimous. Men over twenty-five are
automatically excused from any type of
hazing, transfer students with advanced
standing are taboo to upperclassmen, ath­letes
are untouchable, and students obtain­ing
doctor's excuses must be let alone. Af­ter
seeing this, we would not be at all sur­prised
to see eighty per cent of our frosh
pack up and head in the general direction
of Pike's Peak.

There was considerable excitement at the
dance last Saturday nite, and it looked for
a while as if an altercation was unavoid­able.
It all started when the Pink menace
from the sleep and eat house waltzed off
with the stunner that had been looking on
from the sidelines with the Intelligence
Officer. A few close friends were able to
keep down all efforts at fisticuffs, but sev­eral
quite nasty looks passed this way and
that.

to be unpopular if you can go about it like

There are dire consequences in store for
us if more of the students don't turn out -
for the mass meetings. We must keep in
mind that we have a real team to support
this year. In the old days when Auburn
never broke into the Southern Conference
win column, there was more spirit than you
could stir with a stick. Now we get the
best football team in the country for two
years straight and half the entire student
body right now can't tell you the differ­ence
between War Eagle and the Blue
Eagle. We'll all be qualifying for the po­sition
of Monday morning quarterback, so
it's only fair that we help out the guy that
has to do his quarterbacking on Saturday.

There may or may not be anything to
it, but for the last four years there have
been two fraternities who seem to have
had a monopoly on cadet colonels. For two
straight years the Theta Kappa Nu's had
the top man on the drill field. Last year
the Phi's put out the high ranking soldier
and repeated this year. Can it be that a
change in location affected the military
standing of the T. K. N.s? Or maybe horse
shoe pitching just naturally builds Colonels.

HERR HITLER REGIME
(Continued from Page 1)
"Aside from the increased aliena­tion
of the French, Hitler has arous­ed
the ill-favor of Great Britain,
whose leaders feel that Hitler has re­awakened
the imperial attitude preva­lent
in Germany before the war.
England also greatly resents the
Jewish persecutions.
"In Strassburg there were some
30,000 Jewish refugees who had been
banished from Germany. Many of
these were being fed in long bread
lines financed by other of their race
in Strassburg. The situation of num­bers
of them is strikingly pitiful. I
personally knew of one Jewish refu­gee
who was supporting her former­ly
wealthy family by selling coffee
on the street, barely earning enough
for food. Daily newspapers carry re­ports
of suicides apparently caused
by their present miserable state."
The strictest sort of censorship is
in vogue in Germany.
On entering Southern Germany
customs officers confiscated several
French newspapers which Professor
Roe had in his possession. Hitler
has banned most foreign newspapers,
he added, including the world famous
"Manchester Guardian".
On several occasions Professor Roe
heard Hitler speak over radio. "He
is a gifted, powerful speaker—he
speaks flawless German and his ad­dresses
were convincingly forceful in
every respect."
In Alsace, he said, the wide-spread
opinion is that the monarchistic forces
in Germany are "pulling the strings"
behind the gigantic Hitler program.

PARKER'S FAITH IN A
SCIENTIST'S "FOOL IDEA"
Has Utterly Revolutionized Penal
Pen inventors vainly tried for nearly
50 years to produce this "miracle pen. '
Not merely a pen without a rubber
ink sac, but a sacless pen without
piston pump or valves—with nothing
to render it useless later. Finally most
pen makers gave it up as
a "fool idea.5*
Then a scientist at the
JQniversity of Wisconsin
conceived this revolution­ary
principle,—the Vacu-matic
Filler. He brought
it to Geo. S. Parker, and
we spent thousands to per­fect
it. It is guaranteed
mechanically perfect.

Ladies Riding Class To
Meet Monday Week
The first meeting of the Ladies
Riding Class is schedules for Mono-day
October 2nd. The class will meet
each Monday and Friday afternoon
from four to five o'clock.
There will be about forty-eight
meetings of the class during the year
which runs to about April 1st, at
which time it is necessary for all of
the horses to be used in training for
the R. O. T. C. Horse Show. This
period is divided into halves and for
each half year a fee of seven dollars
and fifty cents is charged to mem­bers
of the class. The half year fee
is payable in advance.
Registration and payment of fees
will be accepted at the Military De­partment
office prior to the first
meeting of the class. As a large part
of the fees paid for this class go to
the members of the R. O. T. C. de­tachment
for extra time spent in car­ing
for the horses used in the class
it will not be possible to accept cer­tificates
of indebtedness for class
membership this year as certificates
heretofore accepted have never be­come
negotiable.
Those attending last years class be­ing
already members of the Auburn
Riding Club will be given priority in
joining the class this year. In case
it is found that the number desiring
the class is in excess of the number
of "available horses, additional mem­bers
will be taken first from women
students and employees of the col­lege
and members of families of col­lege
employees in order of registra-tion,
then from residents of Auburn
and vicinity in the same order.
The class was organized two years
ago as the Auburn Riding Club, the
military department allowing the use
of horses by the club in order to en­courage
mounted activities at the in­stitution
and to give the horses the
exercise desirable to keep them in the
best condition for other work.
As conducted last year the class
was divided into advanced, first year
and junior groups, members being ad­vanced
during the year as their pro­ficiency
warranted. A gymkhana
with riding, • jumping and novelty
classes for the different groups was
held at the close of hte year. It is
planned to conduct the class in the
same manner this year.
Debating Society
Begins Work With
Debate Next Week
A group of veteran debaters have
been practicing for the first debate
which will be held on next Monday
night, September 25. Professor Hess,
of the English faculty, is again in
charge of the Debating Society and
he states that many programs such
as those held last year will be staged
by the jdebate forum.
The subject which is under consid­eration
for the debate Monday night
is federal regulation of motor trans-port
over the nation's highways: Re­solved
that legislation should be en­acted
for federal regulation of motor
transport. Martin Mardirosian and
J. H. Camp will support the affirma­tive
while W. G. Hall and John Liles
will uphold the negative.
The local chapter of Phi Delta Gam­ma,
national honorary forensic frat­ernity,
sponsors a debate turnament
for freshmen each year. Freshmen
enter the contest in pairs and the
winning team receives a prize.
Another attractive schedule is be­ing
arranged for the varsity debat­ers
this year. Auburn was well rep­resented
last year in meets with
Emory, University of Florida and
other southern colleges. Also an open
forum discussion will probably be held
at various times throughout the year.
Chemical Group Held
Meeting Last Monday
The first meeting of the Auburn
Chemical Society was held at 7:00
Monday night in the Ross Chemical
Laboratory. Prof. H. M. Martin, the
guest speaker, had for his topic "In­dustrial
Fermentation." He gave a
resume of the history of fermentation
and explained how important a part
"controlled fermentation" played in
modern industry.
' ' N o business was brought up at this
meeting, however, it was announced
that at the next regular Monday night
meeting a secretary for the society
and a member to the Board of Con­trol
of the Auburn Engineer would be
elected. All students interested in
Chemistry are urged to attend these
weekly meetings.
Some people don't talk much be­cause
they don't.know much.
Special Classes For
Teachers Begin Soon
Saturday classes for teachers who
wish to advance themselves toward
the bachelor's or master's degree will
begin at the Alabama Polytechnic In­stitute
on September 23.
Classes will meet at 9 a. m. every
Saturday for a three-hour session,
and at 1 p. m. for a similar three-hour
period. Six hours credit per
semester may be earned by those tak­ing
both courses.
Dean Zebulon Judd of the educa­tion
school said that the selection of
courses to be offered this fall would
be determined by the wishes of a
majority of those registering. Both
graduate and undergraduate work
will be given, he said.
It was explained that by earning
six hours credit each semester one
may, by doing Saturday work
through the year, accomplish the
equivalent of a whole summer ses­sion's
credit. Further, by doing Sat­urday
work during the year and at­tending
the summer session, one may
accomplish two-thirds of one full year
of resident study.
Saturday classes and summer ses­sion
work were commended by Dean
Judd as an excellent way for teachers
to advance themselves without loss
of teaching time.
A. S. C. E. MEMBERS
MEET AT CAPITOL
(Continued from Page 1)
About 20 members of the Auburn
chapter of the A. S. C. E. were pres­ent
at this meeting, including Ed.
Pruitt, president and three members
of the faculty. The local chapter
held their first meeting of the cur­rent
year Monday night at 6:45 in
Ramsey Hall at which time a par­tial
program for the year was work­ed
out. It was decided that the regu­lar
meetings would be held at the
above time and place every other Mon­day
night. At the next meeting H.
H. Houk, Bridge Engineer of the
State will be guest speaker. At this
time Mr. Houk will explain the pro­gram
of the public works bureau for
the benefit of those who did not at­tend
the state meeting.
