FINAL PLANS FOR
O.D.K. CAKE RACE
ANNOUNCED TODAY
Negotiations With Paramount
News Cameraman Under
Way Says Circle President
RULES OUTLINED
Two Maids Selected To Assist
In Presentation Of Awards;
Theatre Passes Be Given
Fred Chapman, president of the
local circle of Omicron Delta Kap­pa,
announced late today that ne­gotiations
were under way to have
a Paramount news cameraman here
to take pictures of the cake race.
He further stated that Miss Sarah
Stanley and Miss Jane Dickson
had been selected as maids to as­sist
Miss Julia Pace in the presen­tation
of awards on the program
immediately following the race.
Final plans have been made for the
annual freshman cake race, which is
sponsored by Omicron Delta Kappa,
and have been released for publica­tion.
The contest is to be staged
next Tuesday afternoon, December 12.
Classes will be excused for all fresh­men
from three until six next Tues­day
and all male members of the class
are required to participate in the
event. However, members of the class
are reminded that they will be ex­pected
to meet Current Events class
at the usual time. Contestants will
assemble on the east side of the rat
football field at three-thirty. Imme­diately
upon their arrival to the start
ing line they will be given a tag upon
which will be written their name and
the greek letters of their respective
fraternity, if any. The fraternity
having the first four pledges to fin-ish
the race will be awarded a silver
loving cup by the Interfraternity
Council. Miss Julia Pace, who was
recently elected "Miss Auburn", will
present cakes to the first twenty-five
men finishing and the winner will
also be awarded freshman numerals.
In addition, Mr. Foreman Rogers,
manager of the local Tiger Theatre,
will give free passes to the Tuesday
night show to the winners of the
cakes.
All battery and company command­ers
in the R.O.T.C. unit are request­ed
to be at the starting line at three-thirty
and take charge of freshmen
members of their units. These stu­dent
officers will assist the entrants
in getting their identification tags
and in placing them for the start of
the race.
Any uniform, excepting parts of
the military uniform, that would pass
ordinary censorship may be worn.
The Omicron Delta Kappa Cake
Race has been one of the outstanding
athletic events on the Auburn campus
for the past five years and freshmen
are manifesting an unusual amount
of interest in the race this year. Sev­eral
fraternities have been putting
their freshmen through various forms
of training for the contest and com-
- petition is expected to be keen for
the "fraternity cup". •
Wesley Findlay won the race last
year with a record breaking time of
14:48. Fraternity honors went to the
Sigma Nu's, whose freshmen had the
high score of sixty-one points.
B. HILL ADDRESSES
LOCAL KIWANIS CLUB
The startling statement that the
annual crime bill of the American
people totals four billion to five bil­lion
dollars and that only 10 per cent
of the criminal acts are apprenend-ed
was made at a joint meeting of
the Auburn Kiwanis and Rotary clubs
Monday by T. B. Hill, lawyer and
former president of the Montgomery
Kiwanis club.
The speaker declared that crime
is "America's greatest problem" and
condemned those who thwart justice.
He named several changes which
should be made in Alabama laws to
expedite trials and protect the public,
His suggestions included simplifying
the reducing the number of laws,
change of laws concerning selection
of juries, and also a change of the

SENIORS GRANTED
EXTRA HOLIDAYS
Petition For Week Rejected
By Council But Three Extra
Days Are Allowed Seniors
The petition from the senior class
for their holidays to begin on Sat­urday,
December 9 instead of Sat­urday,
December 16 was rejected
by the Executive Council at a recent
meeting. Immediately following this
action the Council voted that the
holidays for seniors shall begin after
all classes Wednesday, December 13,
thereby giving the seniors three more
holidays than the original schedule in
the college catalogue calls for.
All students are reminded that ab­sences
from classes either three days
before or three days after a holiday
receives a double penalty, and that
no professor or instructor has au­thority
to excuse students from
classes in advance of a holiday sea­son
or immediately thereafter.
The Council considered it imprac­ticable
to lengthen the Christmas
vacation for seniors since the body
has been lenient in excusing classes
for football games nearby. A sim­ilar
petition from the 1932 graduat­ing
class was rejected and only one
additional holiday was granted.
Classes had to be excused for a time
last year because of the influenze
epidemic.
Classes for all other students will
be excused after the termination of
all regularly scheduled classes Sat­urday,
December 16. The holiday
season will continue until Tuesday,
January 2, when all students are ex­pected
to be back in school ready to
resume their regular class schedules.
FROSH ELECTION BE
HELD ON THURSDAY
Elections Chairman Explains
Change In Date; Names Of
Candidates Listed
According to an announcement by
George Hardy, chairman of the Elec­tions
Committee, the date for the elec­tion
of freshman class officers has
been changed to Thursday, Decem­ber
7. The original date for the elec­tion
was December 5, but the com­mittee
thought it advisable to move
the time back and thereby give the
members of the class an opportunity
to read the entire list of nominees in
the Plainsman again before they vote.
Nomination blanks were submitted
to Hardy for the following men:
President, Rupert Scott, Mark Carr,
Pat Plumlee, and Joe Sawer; Vice-president,
Charles W. Anderson, Jr.,
Woodrow Bailey, and W. B. Kelley;
Secretary, Bob White; Treasurer,
Vernie M. Holloway; Historian, Doug­las
Goode, and Miss Frances Shi.
Freshmen are urged to adhere to
the rules governing campus elections
as the violation of them may cause
their candidate the loss of the race.

WELCH, FENTON TO
LEAD AUBURN GRID
TEAM DURING 1934
Mike Welch, Guard, Is Chosen
Captain; Bennie Fenton,
End, Alternate Captain
LETTERS AWARDED
Next Season's Schedule An­nounced;
Seven Conference
Foes Will Be Played
At a meeting of all letter winners
of this season's football squad yester­day
at noon, Mike Welch from At­lanta,
Ga., and Bennie Fenton from
Lakeland, Fla., were elected captain
and alternate captain respectively of
the 1934 football team. Both Welch,
guard, and Fenton, end, will be sen­iors
next year.
Having the captaincy of next year's
team bestowed upon him is a reward
to Welch for his_ fine work during
the past campaign at the left guard
position, at first in the role of a re­serve
and later a regular. Welch-is
a husky lineman, weighing over 190
pounds, and is one of the best defen­sive
linemen on the squad. He is es­pecially
adept at pulling out of the
line and running interference.
One of the smartest ends in the
South, Fenton deserves the alternate
captaincy of the 1934 team. He is a
great pass receiver, fine blocker, and
terrific tackier. Fenton plays a con­sistent
game at the terminal post and
has been acclaimed by many critics
as All-Southeastern timber.
Eighteen members and one mana­ger
of this year's team were award­ed
letters at the conclusion of the
campaign. Oliver Jackson, senior
manager of the team won the major
award along with Ripper Williams,
Allen Rogers, Firpo Phipps, Casey
Kimbrell, Truck Talley, Gump Ariail,
Bennie Fenton, Jack Kemp, Bat Mc-
Collum, Tiny Holmes, Mutt Morris,
Bing Miller, Boots Chambless, Mike
Welch, Norman Houston, Will Chrietz-burg,
Barney Musgrove, and Red
Head.
Coach Chet Wynne announced the
football schedule for next year yes­terday.

the toughest assignments in the his­tory
of the school when she engages

LATE RALLY FAILS
AND AUBURN LOSES
FINAL ENGAGEMENT
Last Minute Surge Almost
Overcomes Gamecock's Six­t
e e n Point Lead
PHIPPS IS STAR
Phipps' Passes Feature Two
Eighty Yard Drives Which
Bring Tiger's Scores
A spirited last half rally which net­ted
fourteen points failed to overcome
an early Gamecock lead, and Auburn's
football forces went down before those
of South Carolina, 16 to 14, in Birm­ingham
Saturday. The game ended
the season for the Plainsmen who
have won five and lost a similar num­ber.
Carolina got the jump on the Tigers
by a safety in the second quarter,
which was followed a few minutes
later by a touchdown, enabling the
Gamecocks to lead 9 to 0 at the half.
Another Carolina touchdown was
pushed across early in the third pe­riod,
thereby piling up a 16 to 0 lead
which the Tigers were unable to over­come.
Auburn scored on two 80-yard
drives during the latter part of the
third and first of the fourth quarters
in which the Plainsmen showed signs
of awakening from their apparent
slumber, but the bid for victory fell
short by two points.
Talley and Phipps bore the brunt
of the atack in the first drive which
culminated in a 22-yard pass from
the latter to Ariail who caught the
ball and stepped over the goal line.
Ariail kicked the extra point.
Shorely after this Mauney, Game­cock
back, quick kicked to Auburn's
20 from which point the Tigers car­ried
on. Phipps passed five yards to
Rogers who continued 27 more before
he was stopped. Phipps tossed an­other
to Talley good for eleven yards.
A smash into the line failed and then
Phipps again passed, this time to
Bennie Fenton, who caught the ball
over the goal line. Ariail again add­ed
the extra point.
The passing of Phipps and the run­ning
of Rogers and Talley featured
the offense while the work of. Bennie
Fenton, Boots Chambless, Mutt Mor­ris,
and Gump Ariail stood out in
the line.
South Carolina was out to win from
the Plainsmen Saturday from the
start and by the time the Tigers
had become sufficiently convinced of
this fact they were hopelessly behind.
And thus brings to an end the foot­ball
era of some of the outstanding
players in the history of the institu

Glee Club Plans Tour Of South Alabama During April
Says President Following Business Meeting On Monday
The Auburn Glee Club, in a busi­ness
meeting held Monday night, de­cided
that the club's annual tour was
to be made through South Alabama.
Various towns in that part of the
state have been approached as to
the possibility of sponsoring the
club, and several of them have al­ready
given favorable replies.
The tour, which is to be held the
first week in April, will be of at least
a week's duration, and will include
some of the larger and more repre­sentative
towns of the southern sec­tion
of the state. As the Auburn
Glee Club has not toured that part
of the state in several years, it is
expected that it will be well received.
There are many Auburn alumni and
supporters in the area to be toured,
and Glee Club members who spent
Thanksgiving in that district state
that they seem anxious to have the
Auburn club visit their towns.
Aside from their regular tour, the
club will probably take one or more
short trips. Broadcasting engage­ments
in Montgomery and Atlanta are
being considered.
These trips, as well as all other
activities of the group are being un­dertaken
entirely at the expense of
the individual members of the organi­zation,
and at no cost whatever to
the college. Even the director is be­ing
paid by the club. However, the
members hope to defray some of their
expenses during the year by concerts
here and in Opelika, and by giving a
dance during the first part of the
second semester. The date for the
dance has already been secured, and
plans are now being made to make
this dance one of the best of the sea­son.
It is to include many unusual

line as in football.
4. A touch football touchdown
counts the same as in football (6
points).
5. There shall be four downs in
which the offense shall try to make
ten yards for the first down. There
are no penalties for two or more in­complete
passes in the same series of
downs.
6. If two defensive men touch the
ball before an offensive mate has
touched the ball, the offense loses the
play and the ball is called back.
7. The pass, must be made by the
offensive passer at least 5 yards back
of the line of scrimmage for a for­ward
pass. A lateral pass may be
made from any point on the field and
it will be the duty of the officials to
determine whether it was a lateral
or a forward pass.
8. The same rules apply to fumbles
as in football.
10. Penalties for offside, 5 yards or
the gain 'as the case may be by the op­posite
side.
11. Leaving the feet on blocking
can be done in the line of scrimmage
and nowhere else on the field. Pen­alty
15 yds. for this and holding.
12. All roughing and strenuous
blocking get a 15 yd. penalty. With
the clipping penalty, one-half distance
to the goal line.
13. Free substitution, with three
(3) time-outs.
14. The length of the halves shall
be two twenty minute periods and
agreements before hand for ten min­ute
periods for the play-off of ties.
15. Officials must be selected from
among the Interfraternity Council
representatives.

Members of the Auburn Players
have been busy selling tickets this
week to the second presentation of
"Ransom Racket", being repeated by
popular demand Friday night at 7:30
in Langdon Hall. The hour of the
performance was moved up so as to
enable students to attend both the
play and fraternity dances being held
later. Several important changes
have been made both in the action
and production, and although the
first showing was well received, the
second is expected to make an even
bigger hit.
The dialogue and plot of the play
are of types that are particularly ap­pealing
to students, and the relatively
small proportion of students present
at the last performance was very dis­appointing
to the Players. In the
past there have been some complaints
of the Auburn Players productions
being too "highbrow" and "Ransom
Racket" was selected as an answer
to this criticism. It is excellent en­tertainment,
although from a literary
standpoint it would not compare with
several things the Auburn Players
did last year, for example, plays by
Oscar Wilde, Lord Dunsany, Maeter­linck,
and Chechov.
The technical staff remains intact
from the first performance and with
the added experience gained from the
other show should have the sound ef­fects,
lighting, and general set opera-

Professor John A. C. Callan Is Appointed Member Of
Coast And Geodetic Survey Staff To Head Alabama
Professor John A. C. Callan, pro­fessor
of civil engineering at the
Alabama Polytechnic Institute, has
been appointed a member of the Unit­ed
States Coast and Geodetic Survey
staff with authority to organize and
administer such engineering work in
Alabama. The appointment was made
by R. S. Paton, director of the Unit­ed
States Coast and Geodetic Survey
of the Department of Commerce, as
a result of recommendations by the
American Engineering Council and
others.
The Alabama work will start im­mediately,
employing 11 resident en­gineers,
120 transit or levelmen, and
269 rodmen and chainmen. It will
continue as a part of the Civil Works
Administration program until such
additions have been made to the
Coast and Geodetic network as will
be of considerable value to the va­rious
agencies of the State, including
the highway department, United Stat­es
Geological Survey, county and mu­nicipal
engineering organizations,
and the interests of such quasi-public
organizations as may need such in­formation.
The work contemplated under the
emergency relief fund- is designed to
supplement the fundamental horizon­tal
and vertical control surveys of
the Coast and Geodetic Survey.
Professor Callan will organize and
arrange the work and the appoint­ment
of the personnel in conjunction
with Thad Holt, director of the Ala­bama
Civil Works Administration,
Montgomery. It is estimated that a
half a million dollars will be made
available in the United States for
this work.

Following a recent meeting of the
Social Committee, Chairman Hamp
Morris announced that January 25,
26, and 27 are the dates set aside
for the annual Junior Prom. These
are the dates scheduled in the college
calendar for the completion of first
semester examinations and registra­tion
for the second term.
The mid-terms will consist of a se­ries
of seven dances which will begin
with a tea dance Thursday afternoon,
the twenty-fifth. The usual order will
be followed with a dance Thursday
night, a morning dance Friday, a tea
dance Friday afternoon, and the Ju­nior
Ball Friday night. The schedule
for Saturday corresponds with the
Friday program except that the dance
that night will be the Farewell Ball
and will conclude the series.
It is the custom of several honor
societies to buy the morning and tea
dances and negotiations have already
begun to fill the program with dances
by these organizations.
In addition to the society dances
there will probably be several ban­quets
given by these and other organ­izations
during the mid-term festivi­ties.
A large number of girls are ex­pected
to be in attendance for the
dances and fraternities are urged to
entertain visiting girls with house
parties. Several social groups have.
already signified their intention of
giving house parties and a complete
list of those available for this use
will be published soon.
As yet no orchestra has been defi­nitely
engaged to furnish the music
during the gaities but Chairman Mor­ris
stated that the committee's selec­tion
would be made at a meeting this
week. At present the group is cor­responding
with the Music Corpora­tion
of America and the Southern
Radio and Entertainment Bureau in
an effort to secure an outstanding
band. Those orchestras which are
being given careful consideration in­clude
Jan Garber, Glenn Gray and
his Casa Loma Orchestra, Husko
Hare, and Herbie Kay.
Bids for the decorating of the gym­nasium
will be called for soon. The
deadline for the submitting of these
bids has not been set yet but the Ex­ecutive
Cabinet is expected to fix this
date at an early meeting.
CHRISTMAS PAGEANT BE
HELD AT AUBURN CHURCH
The Auburn Business and Profes­sional
Women's Club will cooperate
with the Auburn-Opelika Community
Players in staging a Christmas pag-ent
at the Auburn Baptist Church on
December 25.
The club also, by vote of the exe­cutive
committee, will contribute to
recent fire sufferers in Auburn and
will cooperate with the local organ­ization
of the Civil Works Adminis­tration
in helping put unemployed
women in touch with the proper au­thorities
to receive employment.
The matter of changing the name
of the national organization's maga­zine,
The Independent Women, to
The Woman's Forum, was approved
by the elub, one of the 1,350 such
clubs which will take action on the
proposed change.
It was announced by Mrs. Henry
Good, club president, that the next
meeting of the club wil be held on
Monday, December 11.

INTRAMURALS
The action of the Interfraternity Council
in including a touch football tournament
on their annual list of Interfraternity ac­tivities
was one of the most progressive
moves made in recent years toward a more
complete intramural- athletic program here.
The need for intramural athletics is becom­ing
more evident with each succeeding year;
and it is our hope that at some future
time, a program will be planned which will
include all classes and groups and non-fraternity
men as well as fraternity men.
According to the present schedule, the
athletic facilities of the school are available
to only a small portion of the students; and
as a result, only a minor portion of the
student body is benefited in a physical way.
We cannot overlook the fact that although
a large percentage of the student activity
fee is devoted to ahletics, the majority of
the students derive no benefit from it other
than the pleasure of watching other stu­dents
in action. We would have it under­stood,
however, that we heartily endorse
the program of intercollegiate contests
which are sponsored in the fields of foot­ball,
basketball, track, swiming, and base­ball;
but hand in hand with this program
should go an intramural one which would
allow the entire student body to partake
of physical development facilities at a time
when maximum physical development should
be given equal consideration with mental
development. It is true that colleges were
not founded to take the place of local gym­nasiums,
but at the same time it should be
realized that in a very short time, most of
the students will be confined to offices, some
for the remainder of their lives, and that
all possible physical development should be
encouraged.
In addition to the physical benefits of
an intramural program, students would be
exposed to competition and would develop
a true spirit of sportsmanship and pride
in achievement which rank among the prime
requisites of character building. Healthy
bodies would also result in more healthy
minds, with an added upturn in scholarship;
while at the same time, time which is or­dinarily
wasted—and there is a large
amount of it—would be used to good ad­vantage.
The Executive Cabinet, in asking for the
respective class dues at the beginning of
the year, specified that should sufficient
funds be available, athletic equipment would
be placed in the gymnasium for the use of
individual students; and according to our
present understanding, this improvement
will be made before the end of the year.
This also was an important step in the ad­vancement
of a worthy cause, but even more
drastic steps must be taken if the desired
result is to be obtained.
We would like to recommend that some
of the organizations which find so little to
do in the way of sponsoring student activ­ities
give intramurals a thought, and that
they devote some of the time spent in think­ing
up something for them to do to out­lining
an intramural plan of athletic which
could be put into effect in the near future.
Columbia's traditional ghost, who haunts
the tunnels and halls of the college dorms,
made its appearance to members of the
freshman class in John Jay Lounge the
other night.

THE FOOL who puts the "Annie

the fire blackened ruins of the Zoo
takes the crown as being the Wit of the

And the fearless fireman who goes up a

Fire story a la Society Editor: An event
of much social interest was the party given
by the local Fire Department in honor of
the Opelika Fire Department at Smith Hall
early Thanksgiving morning. The hosts
and the guests of honor were charmingly
dressed in wet oilskins and petite red hel­mets.
Smith Hall was beautifully decorat­ed
in dancing flames and alluring wisps
of smoke. A tempting course of sparkling
water was served.
Smith Hall, the scene of many charming
parties, was built eighteen years ago by
James C. Whattalouse, of the Newport and
Airport Whatlice. His paternal Great-
Grandfather was hanged for shouting "God
save the King". The "save" was a slip of
Great-Grandfather's tongue, but he should
have been hanged anyway.
His Great-Grandmother (same side) al­most
helped the British take the country
when she yelled Mae West's famous line
down to Paul as he sped by on his charging
steed. It seems Great-Grandpap was down
at the Sign of the Dragon throwing a couple
down, and Great-Grandmammy was lonely,
but Paul knew a blond farther down the
street so he didn't stop. Whattalouse has
been claiming ever since that his Great-
Grandmother saved the Country.
Both of his Grandpappys were killed at
Shilo . . . for trying to steal Lee's hoss
and Grant's saddle. Grandpappy Gallop-inggaiters
wanted to steal Grant's hoss,
but Grandpappy Whattalouse said Lee's
was better. The Feds and the Rebs de­clared
a truce and both sides took a hand
in the shooting.
The party ended at 8:00 a.m. with Smith
Hall more or less a wreck. What successful
party doesn't end with the house a wreck?
Would suggest the 40 grand insurance
money be spent for more books for the
library. Have already read "Parody on
the Outline of History", and "If Winter
Comes", the only two decent books in the
place.

Think most emphatically that Georgia
Tech has the best football team in the
Conference. After outplaying Alabama,
Georgia, Tulane, and Kentucky all over the
field, and losing by scant points to all four,
they came back to take Duke. And Duke
had the ball on Tech's one inch line with
first down, and hasn't made a "touchdown
yet.
* * * *
Two people in town, whom I have known
quite a long time, meet me face to face
on the street and fail to say hello when I
say hello. Can they also be deaf? They
are huffy because of something I wrote.
They think I had them in mind while writ­ing.
The truth of the matter is I did not
and will not; I try to make this column as
interesting as possible. Such people are
not interesting, they are pitiable.
They're mad and I'm glad. Yah!
* * * *
The "Society" story was written with no
thought of malice toward anyone. I've
never written a column with the thought of
hurting anyone's feelings. Ninety per cent
of the people who have a violent dislike
for this column because of something they
think' I wrote about them were never
thought of at all. And the column really
doesn't matter enough to get mad about it.

Back to the fire: I'd like to see a benefit
dance or show given for the girls who lost
all of their belongings in the fire. I have
the greatest of respect for two or three of
those girls. They have worked hard while
at Auburn at various jobs to aid their fam­ilies
in keeping them in school, while other
more fortunate girls went to dances and
parties. And now they have suffered a
great set-back in the fire. I'd like to see
some College authority take the idea up.

THE MIDNIGHT MEAL
A list of what college students eat after
dances sounds like a hashier hash than was
ever compounded by ingenious landladies.
Somehow, in the young hours of a Sunday
morning, after an all-night workout on the
dance floor, a girl forgets her figure and
her date forgets his diminishing bank ac­count.
Waffles and sausage is one of the most
popular after-dance diets, says Vada Odom,
Newcomb cheerleader, and a restaurant on
Canal street is a favored place to get it.
If you stand in front of this cafe at 2
o'clock in the morning, after a frat dance,
you can see boys and girls laeping out" of
rumble seats or slithering out of taxis and
hot footing it across the sidewalk to find
tables inside, where they order yards of
sausage and pints of coffee.
Doughnuts, too, are a confection whose
popularity never wanes. But "doughnuts"
is not the simple term it used to be in
grandma's day, for now it might mean any­thing
from a crispy stick at the French
Market to a squashy square at an uptown
pig stand. Newcomb and Tulane students
eat all varieties—thin ones, fat ones, soft
or hard, round, square or shapeless, with
or without the hole, all depending on where
they go.
At restaurants all over the city, dignified
class officers can be seen munching on
fried pies and hamburgers in preparation
for a good sleep. A Newcombite in sophis­ticated
evening gown mayjbe seen in an
automobile at one of these stands, and in
her hands, not the cigarette and cocktail of
moviedom, but the glass of milk and ham
sandwich of ravenous youth.
Doctors may rant about the harmful re­ducing
of young girls, but all their fears
for future generations would be allayed
could they but see these frail creatures in­dulging
in a light lunch "after the ball."

This year at Texas Tech instead of the
usual practice of holding a snake dance
between the halves of the Thanksgiving
game, there was a freshman's tacky party.
Every freshman was required to dress as
tacky as he could. Any kind of clothing
could be worn in the contest. The winner
was picked by the crowds. The one that
got the greatest applause as he passed in
review, was chosen as the winner.'
* * * *
And this is how much the students at
Ga. Tech know about what they are study­ing.
"A Georgia Tech student unnecessar- '
ily repeated a course in the same room
under the same professor without either
of them realizing the fact."
* * * *
An interesting innovation in dance pro­grams
will be sponsored by the recently
organized Massachusetts Club. No-break
dances will be featured, and it is hoped
that this style of dancing will find favor
among the students. This style of dance
is very popular in the Northern states and
is catching a foot hold in the South. .

Machines to soften all hot water used
in the dormitories, laundries, kitchen and
boilers at the Florida State Woman's
College are being installed in the boiler
plant of the college.
These machines have the capacity to soft­en
10,000 gallons of raw water of hardness
from eight parts to zero per hour. They
are being installed at a cost of $1500. The
softening of the water will result theoreti­cally
in a saving of approximately 50 per
cent of all soap used in operations required.
Another advantage of the machines is
that it makes it possible to better whiten
dishes used in the kitchen and the fabrics
washed in the laundries. The softening of
the water will remove much of the lime, it
is said.

JUST SING IT TO THE TUNE OF
"TREES"
I think I shall never see •
A grad who could so modest be
As to come right out and state
That he thinks the team is great;
Or in front of others tell
That he thinks the spirit's swell
Or to dissertate at length
On the backfield's super strength;
Or to ever feel so moved
As to say our plays run smooth;
Instead they'd rather 'reminiss'
And tell us the fun we miss
And say that those dear dead days
When the finest team knew just two
plays,
"Boys, we did it better then,
In 1909, or was it '10?"
When the old grads come back and dis­cover
that things are not what they used
to be—when married men wish they had
known better, (so do their wives)—when
a straight line is not the shortest distance
between two points—when it's open season
on stories such as "Now in my day . . . "
and when you feel-the urge, go ahead. It's
a quaint old Lappish custom on HOME­COMING.—

DEADLY DEDUCTIONS

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.
ONE OF THE blots on the local es­cutcheon
is the slap dash laundry
arrangement. It is about as de­pendable
as spring weather. During
Thanksgiving week, the service was slow,
rather inconvenient, and decidedly un­popular.
As far as the rates—special rates
to students if you please—they might be
met by any enterprising laundry company
around here. Most certainly the laundry
isn't losing any money as one may plainly
see by the financial condition of the owner.
The employees were paid quite sparingly
until the advent of the NRA. It seems
that a more ideal condition should be
sought and instead of allowing one laundry
a monopoly on the student patronage, let
two or three companies make their best
offers and leave the decision of that ques­tion
up to the individual. To cite one of
the more aggrevated of outrages perpe­trated
by the local button-rippers, the case
of one of the students will serve admir-1
ably. The student sent his laundry and
marked his address on the ticket. He lives
at one o*f the dormitories. But his laundry
didn't come back. Student of course was
mad as Hell and went down to take it up
with the laundry. No go. The laundry
had been delivered so they said and they'd
be damned if they'd pay for it. Student
was considerably worried to say nothing
of his very incensed attitude toward the
laundry. But like a martyr, he dressed
in his remaining clothes, paid a Dollar for
a new laundry bag and accepted his fate
philosophically. After a week, the laundry
was discovered in a vacant room at the
other dormitory. It was entirely the fault
of the laundry, yet the student was placed
in a position to lose his clothes. Even Gum
admits the laundry is a louse. Me too.
And to you laundry, you have ripped my
underwear, removed every button on my
pajamasr perforated my two-bit socks,
fringed my collars, and God knows what
you'll think of to tear up next—so now if
you don't like what I think, my number
is 29, and I defy you to do your worst.

Now that we seniors have our three days

Well, all that we can do is act brave and

Duck Soup was duck soup for me. Mr.

of the field was the hat changing scene.
Cleverly and dexterously done. Good short,

There was not so long ago, quite a fu­rore
caused by the authorities disapproving
of cribbing. Another form of dishonesty
that springs up here and there about town
is that of petty theft. Last year in one of
the dormitories a good bit of money mys­teriously
disappeared. Books, raincoats,
overcoats and so forth are common losses
around here. The boys who pick up some­one
else's books or coat are criminals tech­nically.
Such things as these thefts give
the school a bad record. But the main
thing is that when something is stolen,
somebody is going to have to replace it and
there are very few of us who are able TO
replace many things. It is something to
be ashamed of. I'm thoroughly ashamed.
I lost five dollars worth of books last year.

JNot so long ago practically all
cigarettes were made by hand
Now, Chesterfields are made by high-speed machines
that turn out 750 cigarettes a minute, and the
cigarettes are practically not touched by hand.
BY the use of long steel ovens
—drying machines of the
most modern type—and by age­ing
the leaf tobacco for 30
months—like wine is aged—
Chesterfield tobacco is milder
and tastes better.
Only pure cigarette paper—
the best made—is used for
Chesterfield.
And to make sure that every­thing
that goes into Chesterfield
is just right, expert chemists
test all materials that are used
in any way in the manufacture.
Chesterfields are made and
packed in clean, up-to-date fac­tories,
where the air is changed

Church Guild Given
Ex-President's Name
Auburn's most beloved citizen and
sterling character, Mrs. Wilhelmina
Lazarus, 92, was appropriately honor­ed
here Monday arternoon when it
was voted by members of the Episco­pal
Guild that the organization would
bear her name.
With every member of the Guild
present at the home of Mrs. T. W.
Sparrow, with Mrs. J. T. Hudson
serving as joint hostess, a resolution
was passed stating that "this Guild
shall hfereafter be known as The Wil­helmina
Lazarus Guild of the Church
of the Holy Innocents." For some 45
years Mrs. Lazarus served as pres­ident
of the organization and has
taken a leading part in affairs of the
local Episcopal church.
Born in Portsmouth, Va., in 1841,
Mrs. Lazarus moved to Opelika in
1866 where she remained until 1881.
Here she taught school and many of
her former students have been prom­inent
in the development of the
State. For three years following
1881, she served as matron at Weslyn
College in Macon, Ga.
In 1886, Mrs. Lazarus moved to
Auburn and was instrumental in con­structing
the first building of the
local Episcopal church in 1886-87.
Since that time she has been one of
the most ardent and conscientious
workers in the local church. Her
youngest son, S. L. Toomer, is a
prominent Auburn business man and
leader in civic affairs.
Following is the resolution passed
by the Guild which was signed by a
committee composed of Mrs. Mozelle
Whitaker Wilmore and Mrs. Mary
Lane Petrie:
"Whereas, our greatly beloved
friend and fellow member of the
Guild, Mrs. Wilhelmina Lazarus, has
for more than forty years been a
faithful and devoted member of this
Guild and an untiring and inspiring
.leader in all its activities;
"And whereas, we deem it fitting
that-there be some formal and lasting
recognition of her long and beautiful
devotion to this organization and to
the high purpose for which it was es­tablished
by the Church;
"And whereas, we welcome this op­portunity
to express individually and
collectively our love for her and our
gratitude for all that she has done
for us and for other members of the
Guild during this long period;
"Therefore, be it resolved: That
this Guild shall hereafter be known
as The Wilhelmina Lazarus Guild of
the Church of the Holy Innocents."

CENTLESS CIRCUITS
Conspicuous in nightmares of power com­pany
officials are ingenious,economical human
beings who tinker with electric circuits, who
rig up outlandish but convenient wiring. As
a crowning touch to their handiwork, when
fuses blow they use a penny. Lights go on.
Protection goes out the cellar window.
To foil these handy-men-about-the-house, and
to end blown-fuse troubles forever, G.E. has
developed an ounce of protection—a little
circuit breaker to replace the old-fashioned
fuse box. It looks very much like an ordinary
lighting wall-switch. When a "short" occurs,
the arc is interrupted inside a small, closed,
metal chamber in 0.008 of a second..A mere
flip of the handle restores service.
Protection? The performance is so mild you
can hear nothing and see nothing, even when
5000 amperes are being interrupted. And the
breaker is safe and foolproof, too. The com­plete
line will include ratings from 15 to 600
amperes. Let no more bridged-fuse bogeys
disturb anyone's slumbers.
J. W. Seaman, Antioch College, '29, was very
active in this development.
to most people—but it had to be done.
They built a machine with an 8-inch flexible
metal throat and an amazing appetite. Not
content with devouring copra, this machine
gobbles up shiploads of nuts, potash, soda
ash, borax, shale, grain—and even, nibbles
at the shirts, coats, and hats of bystanders.
How? A G-E compensator starts a 150-hp.
motor. An air compressor comes up to speed.
Nature begins to "abhor a vacuum," and up
comes everything but the bottom of the ship.
If you have a cellar full of copra to be moved
—or any similar problem—let us know.
HATS OFF TO THIS ONE
The Sutorbilt Corporation of Los Angeles had
a problem—to remove dried cocoanut meat
(its copra in the tropics) from a ship's hold
to railroad cars at the rate of one ton every
60 seconds. That sounds like a lot of d.e.m.
STITCHING STEEL
Why not use vacuum tubes for speeding-up
welders? So thought our engineers as they
were working on the problem of stitching
steel plates together with the rapidity of a
sewing machine.
Thyratron-tube control for resistance seam
welders resulted. H. W. Lord, '26 graduate of
the California Institute of Technology, re­ceived
a Charles A. Coffin Foundation Award*
for developing an accurate timing circuit
using Thyratron tubes—an important part of
the control. Industry obtained a new high­speed
production tool.
This control, when applied to line- or spot-welding
machines, permits 1200 current in­terruptions
per minute. Thus, it makes
possible the stitching together of thin metal
sheets to form gas-tight and water-tight seams.
Thyratron-controlled machines will weld stain­less
steel, mild steel, chromium- and cadmium-plated
steel, aluminum alloys, and many other
materials. Steel barrels, pails, milk cans, and
gasoline tanks are just a few of the many
products now produced faster as a result of
Thyratron welding control.

Can't you be courteous to a guest
speaker? He didn't invite himself.
F.—I didn't invite him either. I
now know what "talking a bill to

suffocated.
S.—Yes, we ought to learn some­thing
from every experience, but
there is one thing you haven't suf­ficiently
learned—Courtesy, thought-fulness
of other people.
F.—Why should I sit quietly and
be drenched in a cataract of words?
Why didn't he stop when the clock
struck twelve?
S.—Ask him. It's your business
I'm talking about. By going out with
a drove of other thoughtless boys,
you disturbed people who wanted to
hear and insulted a guest of the col­lege
speaking on a patriotic subject.
You don't care to be a slacker, do
you?
F.—I have a right to refuse to
listen if I wish. I can leave an audi­ence
if I wish to, can't I? I dearly
love the clock that turns our teach­ers
off at least every sixty minutes.
Our guest refused to be turned off,
and dinner, I could imagine, was fad­ing
away under the greedy attention
of my mess-mates.
S.—Hunger, slight hunger that can
be appeased by a chocolate-milk and
a sandwich is no sufficient excuse for
the discourtesy I mentioned.
F.—I didn't want to go anyhow. I
was marched in. Besides I didn't mis­behave.
Some fools tried to stop the
speaker by scraping and stamping on
the floor.
S.—Others' boorish and thought­less
misbehavoir does not excuse
yours. Every man is responsible for
his own conduct. Being marched in
is not a good excuse for acting like
a gump after you got there. Why
didn't you rebel when you were march­ed
in?
F.—This is a free country. If I
don't want to listen to palaver, it's
my business. Besides I wasn't ex­actly
a coward. It took nerve to
leave in the face of those professors'
frowns and glares.
S.—Palaver! If you had listened,
you could have learned a little about
finance and 'politics. A wise man
makes use of opportunities. A lot
of courage you showed! You waited

lowed like any silly sheep. Suppose
the speaker has been a useful friend
of the college in Congress which ap­propriates
money to Auburn and has
helped to get money from the Na­tional
Treasury. Suppose further he
may go back to Washington, now that
you have shown him discourtesy, and
be less cordial and helpful in getting
bills affecting Auburn passed in Con­gress.
There are politicians in the
state who would wreck Auburn if
they had the chance. He stands in
with some of them. Suppose he en­couraged
them in their fight on Au­burn.
Auburn needs friends.
F.—Yeah! Suppose! While you are
supposing, why not suppose some­thing
pleasant? Where's your demo­cracy
at Auburn if I can't walk out
on a speaker when I get ready?
S.—When a boy gets drunk at a
football game, steals a bunch of ba­nanas
for the fun of the thing, beats
his way on the train, gets locked up
in jail for selling what isn't his, he
smirches good name of his fellow stu­dents.
When an unthinking smart-aleck
disturbs a campus meeting by
showing a prominent man, an invited
guest, who has helped the college
(and who can help it more) that he
doesn't know how to behave—well, at
—^
least the guest will wonder if a col­lege
that doesn't stress gentlemanli-ness
is worth supporting.
F.—He shouldn't blame the college
if there are a few rough-necks around.
S.—That's the trouble. How is a
visitor to the campus or a fan at a
football game to know that there is
decency, order, respect around when
the weak, the silly, the thoughtless
put themselves on exhibit?
F.—Oh, well, college students stole
chickens, broke in houses, broke up
parties in the Middle Ages and have
been playing the devil ever since.
The kind fools outside of college like
it too.
S.—And simpletons, maybe like
you, will tell their children and their
children's children how they walked
out on a Congressman when they
were in college. It's a great life, in
which the only things worth telling
and remembering are silly escapades
of a callow college boy.
F.—Can't a fellow have his fling?
We are young but once. Why be a
prig, a sissy, a puritan?
S.—Unfortunately, habits control
our lives. A man who lies, robs, is
rude to strangers, sets the god of his
stomach above the god of intelligence
while he is in college can't reform all
of a sudden. In most cases, a man
who makes a fool of himself in col­lege
will be a fool to the end. Use
your head. Play to an audience of
intelligent folks, not to the imp - of
hunger or the flattery of the little
chicken-hearted foot-scrapers who
didn't have as much courage as you
had.
F.—So you think I have a little
courage? Of course I wouldn't have
done it if Dad had been on hand. But
the apron strings are at home and
I'm here. - When can I be free?
S.—Any time. But it is wise to
choose a time for rebellion when you
have a sensible cause. If you are
going to be rude, be sure your intelli­gence
tells you that your cause is
worth the stigma of boorishness. Be
sure you are right and go ahead, but
don't insult ladies and gentlemen be­cause
you have a stomach pain.
F.—Count the cost, you mean? That
doesn't sound very chivalrous. You
sound like a professor wasting time
in class the day after someone has
been shipped for cheating.
S.—Well, the object is to be sensi­ble.
Don't get prejudiced against
good sense because a professor shows
he knows what it is.

The experienced cast composed
of Leonard Nelson, Georgia Lee Jack­son,
Emmett Rodgers, Ruth Jones,
Ella Frances South, Elliot Kaplus and
Franklin Woodruff, has been rehears­ing
this week. The Players them-iia^.
lves are very confident of a good
show, and hope that it will be possible
for a large number of students to be
present, if for no other reason than
to convince the student body that they
can put on a show that is entertain­ing
and not too "highbrow".
An admission price of 25 cents will
again be charged, the proceeds to be
applied on the purchase of a new
curtain for Langdon Hall.
