Semi-Weekly Plainsman Wednesday Edition THE Mass Meeting Tomorrow Night TO FOSTER THE A U B U R N S P I R IT VOLUME LVII AUBURN, ALABAMA, WEDNESDAY, SEPT. 13, 1933 NUMBER 2 AEROPLANE CRASH VICTIMS REPORTED IMPROVED; BOTH WILL COMPLETELY RECOVER Middlebrooks And Prof. Dixon Will Recover After Serious Injuries From Accident STREETMAN BURIED Mishap Occurred When Motor Of Plane Stalled And Ship Plunged To Earth DIXON EXPERT PILOT Several Hundred Spectators Startled When Plane Smashes Within Three Hundred Feet Of Field It was learned from authorities of the East Aalabam Hospital, Opelika, this morning that the conditions of Professor Solon Dixon and Glen Mid dlebrooks, freshman from Marianna, Florida, victims of an airplane acci dent at the Auburn-Opelika Airport Sunday afternoon is slightly improved. Prof. Dixon is suffering from a badly fractured left arm and lacerations about the body while Middle-brooks is suffering from concussion of the brain and severe bruises. Con trary to early reports, it has been de termined from X-ray pictures that Middlebrooks' skull is not fractured Attaches of the hospital and Dr. B F. Thomas, college physician, seem to be encouraged over the condition of both Dixon and Middlebrooks and recovery of both is expected. The body of Joseph Raider Street-man, the third victim of the accident, who died a short while after he was removed to the hospital, was taken to Marianna where interment was held yesterday afternoon. The acident occured about 2 p.m. Sunday. Prof. Dixon and the two students had been aloft in Dixon's private plane only a short time when the ship suddenly dived to earth from an altitude of about 400 feet. Airport attendants said that Dixon was ap pareritly circling the field of the airport preparatory to, landing when something went wrong. The nose of the plane ploughed into the ground about 300 feet from the edge of the landing field, and within view of several hundred horrified spectators. The ship hit with such -terrific impact that the entire framework smashed beyond repair. As yet no definite cause of the crack-up has been found. Varying opinions have it that the motor f the plane suddenly ceased to function causing the plane to stall and spin to the ground. The plane was powered by a Curtis 0X6 motor and was in good running condition when the victims went aloft. Prof. Dixon brought the plane to Auburn from Andalusia, his home town, about four years ago when he assumed a professorship in mechanical engineering. He held a limited commercial license and was generally recognized as an experienced and expert pilot. Prof. Dixon obtained a Bachelor of Science degree from - Auburn about eight years ago. He is about 30 years old. Middlebrooks is the son of Rev. and Mrs. W. E. Middlebrooks, of Marianna, Fla.

Miller At State Convention In Birmingham in October The Kiwanis Club of Opelika was ,the guest of the Auburn Kiwanians at their regular meeting last Monday. The inter-club meeting Was held for the purpose of autographing a book, called the "torch", which is being passed around to Kiwanians throughout the entire state. The "torch" will contain most of the names of Kiwanis Club members in the 'Alabama Kiwanis District and will be presented to District Goyernor J. E. Lewis at the convention which will be held in Birmingham next month. The Auburn club received the "torch" from the Eufaula club.

Scottie Chalmers, president of the Council, stated that the convening hour had been changed so that the meeting would not interfere with regular fraternity meetings. A great amount of controversy has been in evidence regarding the enforcement of Interfraternity Council rules pertaining to rushing and pledging of men and a settlement is to be arranged at the meeting. A number of fraternities have also complained because the pledge files in the Tiger Drug Store have not been posted to date. Chalmers further stated that a committee would be appointed to arrange a schedule for fraternity pledges to visit in other fraternities for meals. In the past, it has been the custom for two Freshmen from each house to visit another house once each week. Meetings for the ensuing year will be held at seven p. ml on the first Monday of each month at the homes of the various fraternity members according to the age of the chapters on the campus. A definite athletic program has been arranged for the coming' year with the usual interfraternity events being sponsored. Trophies will be awarded the winners and runners-up in each of the contests. Last year the council sponsored basketball, tennis, indoor baseball, golf, and track events, in addition to an Easter Egg Hunt.

Under the leadership of Director P. R. Bidez over seventy students have been playing every afternoon in an attempt to gain, a position with the band. This year, as in previous years, the Auburn Band will be in attendance at practically all the football games, including the Tulane game in New Orleans. Also, they will probably resume their yearly trip to Mobile to be featured on the Mardi Gras season program. Thursday night will find the musicians playing in their first appearance this year when the student body will assemble in Langdon Hall for the first mass meeting of the year. AUBURN GRADUATE HAS HIGH RATING AT EMORY After three years study of pre-medicine at the Alabama Polytechnic Institute, J. W. Dupree, Jr., last year led his class in medicine at Emory University. He transferred his credits back to Auburn last" May and received the B. S. degree. This fall he will continue his work toward the M. D. degree at Emory.

In view of the fact that the enrollment is much larger than in several years, the cheer leaders have laid plans for a big meeting to start the year. The mass meeting will be featured by a parade through the town from within the campus and will be led by the Auburn band. The meeting will then return to Langdon Hall where the cheer leaders will introduce new yells. Several members of last year's undefeated team will be present and it is expected that Coach Wynne and his assistants will also attend.

L. A. Knapp, Postmaster Scientific Experiments Here Partially Corroborate Belief That Century Plant Has Curative Qualities The date for the opening dances has been set an Friday and Saturday, October 6 and 7, according to an announcement by Hamp Morris, chairman of the student social committee. Morris stated that the committee considered this date as the most desirable during the fall season since Auburn will-not be engaged in a football game that weekend. A number of nationally known orchestras are being considered to play for the dances. Chairman Morris has been in touch with several orchestra booking agancies, including the Music Corporation of America, which books such bands as Jan Garber, Hal Kemp and a host of others and announcement of the orchestra will be made in the Plainsman as soon as possible. The contract for the decorations for the dances has not been let yet but the Executive Cabinet will begin calling for sealed bids within a few days and many novel ideas are expected to be presented for the scheme of the decorations. Five dances will constitute this year's Sophomore Hop. Beginning with a tea dance Friday afternoon at four o'clock, a dance will be held that night, at which time the Grand March will be held, Saturday's program will consist of a morning dance, tea dance, and the Farewell Ball beginnnig at nine o'clock in the evening. Students who are serving on the Social Committee this year include: Hamp Morris, chairman; Fred McLaren, Gid Morris, and Scotty McRae, all seniors; Britt Veazy and Neil Davis, puniors; Aubrey Hill amLC. Witty Walters, sophomores. There is also one more junior representative and a freshman representative to be elected by the Executive Cabinet at an early meeting. AUBURN POST PLEDGES SUPPORT TO EDUCATION The traditional belief in Mexico that juice from the century plant possesses specific curative qualities for many diseases has been tested scientifically at the Alabama Polytechnic Institute in the treatment of experimental nephritis induced in small animals. Results of research by Prof. Herman D. Jones and associates here indicate at least a partial corroboration of the belief in treatment of this disease which, in its effects, is quite similar to that which occurs normally in both humans and animals. In * studying 132 animals it was found that 69 per cent recovered from the disease when fed the juice (agave concentrate); whereas only a 30 per cent recovery resulted among those not receiving the concentrate. "From these observations the agave concentrate apparently had a protective action on the kidney or aided materially in eliminating, the uranium nitrate {injected in the animal to produce the disease) in a very short time, thus preventing its corrosive action on that organ", said Professor Jones in reporting the study in the "Journal of Pharmacology and Experimental Therapeutics". Numerous research projects with the juice of the century plant have been conducted by Professor Jones, the first of his investigations being done,in Mexico City four years ago while on leave from Auburn. Dr. R. C. Hughes and G. Bernard Johnston assisted him in his latest study. . NOTICE! There will be a meeting of the editorial staff of the Plainsman at the Pi Kappa Alpha House, Sunday evening at seven p. m. Whole hearted support of adequate education in Alabama was pledged by the local John H. Willis Post No. 36 of the American .Legion at its first meeting since spring Monday night. This was done in conformity with action taken by the Alabama Department of the American Legion at its meeting in Tuscaloosa. The Post expects to send resolutions to. -Gov. Miller urging everything possible to keep the schools open the full nine months. Political observations of some parts of Europe were given by Prof. John W. Roe, who has just completed a 15 months visit abroad. SOPHOMORES MAY JOIN MOUNTED BATTERY UNIT Due to conflicts .preventing the required number of Juniors to sign up for the* Mounted Battery this year a limited number of Sophomores are to be given an opportunity to join that organization. All Sophomores who can and wish to attend Mounted Battery drill from 10:00 a.m. to 12:00 noon on Thursdays are requested to sign up in the office of the Commandant without delay. Those finally assigned to that organization will be excused from the Tuesday drill every other week, to partially compensate for the extra hour on Thursday mornings.

Adv. Mgr. Joe Whiteside Circulation Manager STUDENT GOVERNMENT With the beginning of each college year comes the same speculation, "will the student government organization function this year?" Evidently the majority of the student body does not take into consideration the fact that the Executive Cabinet, administrative student group in charge of the student government organization here, cannot operate effectively without the united support and cooperation of the student body. The Undergraduate Student Government Association was formed for the purpose of dealing effectively with matters of student affairs, to perpetuate the traditions of the school, to promote better understanding between the faculty and the student body, to control all matters delegated to the student association, to control and direct student finances, and to supervise all student activities in order that they may be conducted for the best interests of the student body. It may readily be seen that unless student cooperation with the Executive Cabinet is obtained, all of the purposes of the organization must fail. The organization should be looked upon in the light that it is to aid the student body rather than to impose upon it in any way by its judiciary powers, and that greater democracy may be obtained for the students through its promotion. Especially is attention called to the Committee on Coordination whose duty it is to regulate campus activities to avoid conflicting dates. Within the next few weeks, a number of affairs will be given honoring fraternity and sorority pledges and arrangements should be made whereby conflicting dates may be avoided. It is the opinion of the Plainsman that in its present form the student government association will never be able to operate with the efficiency that should be maintained. It is our belief that the constitution of the organization should be carefully studied and reorganized so that more effective work could be accomplished. We believe that with a smaller number on the governing body, better results could be obtained. With the large number of students now on the cabinet, a number of the committees are totally inactive. It is a topic of general speculation as to whether members of the various committees even know what their respective duties are. Up until the present time politics has entered largely into the selection of members on the Executive Cabinet rather than the more sane considerations of capability and merit. It is true that every organization is not without its weak members, but it would easily be possible to pick from the student body at large six or eight men who could really work on the student organization and accomplish almost unbelievable results. Work on the organization in the past has been confined to the efforts of a small percent of its membership and members of the faculty . However, until some change is made or until some more adequate method of administration of student affairs by the students is discovered, united support should be given the present venture. There are numbers of ways in which students and student organizations are supposed to cooperate with the cabinet, but in which they have not been doing so. Careful attention should be given these matters so that, until some change is made, efficiency of operation may not be impeded. The world will seem more natural now that the youngsters are about to quit analyzing monetary affairs, world markets, etc., in favor of explaining why "that kick wasn't blocked in the last quarter." A NEW ATTITUDE College manners are the greatest assets that can be derived from years spent in institutions of higher education. The manner in which freshmen should be treated greatly affects ones standing socially, especially since some upperclassmen with childish ideas make a practice of hazing the freshmen to the point of physical torture and even vulgarity. Men who practice such imbicilic stunts and try to make themselves believe that they are entertaining both themselves and those gathered around are being looked down upon by their fellow students more with each succeeding term. The idea that the "Rat" is something to be made fun of and mistreated' at every opportunity is fast losing favor with the more sensible student, and the idea that upperclassmen should try to help the first year students is rapidly gaining popularity. The treatment of freshmen is of such widespread interest that even the larger newspapers of the country are discussing it in their editorial columns, and especially is this topic receiving notification in the cities in which colleges and universities are located. The following editorial was clipped from the columns of, the Birmingham Age-Herald and was entitled "College Manners" : Return of another college year brings back to college authorities the old problem of how to treat the freshmen. Time was when upper classmen met the problem in their own way, and all officials could do was to try to see to it that the system did not work too great a hardship on new students. But all things pass, and even campus greetings change. "Bend over, freshman," is not heard so frequently as in the past. The newcomer, on the contrary is made to feel at home, as though he were of some consequence in the scheme of things. This> friendliness is even manifested in letters written to prospective students. Sophomores are putting a genuine welcome sign out, with no bed slat concealed behind the door. There is, after all, no rational ground for the argument that freshmen, their ears ringing with high school laudations, need to have some of their conceit taken out of them. The average youngster, entering the strange college environment and observing the nonchalance of his elders, is not likely to be offensively cocksure. What he needs is sympathy and tact in order that he may as quickly as possible adjust himself to his novel setting. The idea seems to have taken hold, in any event, with the result-that the reception now being given to new students is marked generally by kindness and understanding. The hard-boiled method doubt-, less gave strength to some, but the cordial one offers greater hope for good to all. That can be said, even though in some quarters there is still much sighing for the days marked by the "young barbarians at play."

Dear Sir, With the start of the football season will begin the holding of mass meetings, and I feel that I have something to say on the subject. If I were an orator, I would climb upon some soap box and harangue the crowds to my hearts content; but as matters stand, I am forced to resort to this means of dispensation of my thoughts and I sincerely hope that they will be published. When I first came to Auburn, three years ago, I was told that I would have to attend mass meetings and yell until I gave out. I really didn't see any reason for it because it seemed that the more I yelled, the* harder luck the football team would have. I'll admit though that at times it was a lot of fun to get out there in the mob and raise as much cain as possible. With the beginning of my Sophomore year I made the first mass meeting out of curiosity and then I didn't yell. I had an idea that it was childish, and that only the Freshmen should cheer the team. I thought that mass meetings were a waste of time because you yelled anyhow when Hitchcock or somebody broke away for a long gain. Last year I felt pretty much the same way until I attended one game and sat with my parents on the opposite side of the field from the Auburn cheering section. The howls of the disorganized cheering were so distorted and faint that they could scarcely be heard, but when the group joined into one • concentrated cheer, it rang in my ears. It was not until then that I realized the fact that the members of the team do not hear those individual efforts and attempted witticisms, but they cannot help hearing the combined yelling of the entire student body. Right in the midst of my awakening I was driven to shame when another yell was started but died away because fully half of the students must not have known it. Then I 0 PUBLICITY other than adverse and imaginary can be had from this meandering person by those high-fly and mighty sororities who fail to invite him to these sweet and dance-around parties held by the just mentioned sororities for the purpose of impressing on adolescent feminine minds the fact that the bunch holding the dance-around and hand-holding is the bestest in the world. This may be glanced on as a final and' high-stepping statement. * * * * From the town above comes tidings both jingle-tingling and welcome as the flowers in May, June and July.

If only the entire student body would realize what an impression massed cheering has oh the spectators and the team I'm sure that everyone would flock to the mass meetings and try, at least, to learn the yells and songs. If cheering is lo6ked upon with pride at such schools as Southern California, Army, 'Navy, Yale, etc., why shouldn't the.students here take the same attitude? I feel better now that I have these thoughts off my chest and I hope that they will do somebody some good. Very truly yours, A SENIOR.

Wilmore Discusses Higher Education Chairman of Administrative Committee Answers Age Old Question, "Why Go To College?" One's chances of success in any profession will be increased greatly by a college education, was the answer given by Dean J. J. Wilmore, chairman of the administrative committee at the Alabama Polytechnic Institute, to the question, Why go to college? "With the increasing complexities of modern life it is becoming more and more important that young men and women who are ambitious to succeed should have the advantage of college training," he explained. Dean Wilmore did not take the position that one could not succeed without such training but he said that a college was an institution organized expressly for this purpose where such advantages were offered at a saving of time and expense. "The professions of law and medicine," he said, "are op^n only to college graduates. The practice of engineering in many states is restricted by registration laws to those persons who have graduated from an accredited engineering college or have equivalent qualifications. The ticket of admission to the teaching profession, particularly to the better positions, is a college diploma. "The bitter competition and the growing complications of modern merchandising is increasing at a rapid rate the demand for college-trained men in business administration. In the industrial field the complication and competition is no less severe and the young -man who has a broad college training in industrial organization has a distinct advantage. "Agriculture, perhaps of all the industries) is in greatest need of trained leaders. The farmer needs to be trained in business, to some extent in engineering, in several of the natural sciences, as well as in the subjects pertaining to technical agriculture. Only in a college could such variety of training be acquired. f "It has come to be almost impossible to make a success in any field of endeavor without an education. It is impossible, of course to secure an education without going to colleg^ but the college is organized expressly for the purpose. The courses are planned with care, the subjects are condensed and arranged in proper sequence, and capable instructors are ready at all times to give assistance. "Much wasted effort and time are saved, the cost is less in the long run and the value is greater. The diploma from a reputable institution establishes at once the status of its holder. It represents a definite amount of accomplishment and is accepted wherever educational standards are recognized.' v "There are many other valuable 'by-products' of a college course besides the purely academic and utilitarian features. College teachers are usually persons of high ideals and of culture and refinement. They are interested in young penple and the daily association of the students with these teachers during four years of the formative period of their lives is of the greatest value in the building of character. "Students who attend college constitute a highly selective group. Definite educational preparation is required for entrance, and high standards of accomplishment are required for continuation in college classes. It is a real privilege for a young person to become a member of such a group and by daily contacts in class room and in friendly discussions, establish lifetime friendships which it would be impossible to form outside of college.' "Then there are the various college activities which offer opportunity for valuable training in various fields. Fraternity life, athletics, college publications, Y. M. C. A., Y. W. C. A., dramatic and debating societies, glee clubs, college band, and the many scientific, literary, technical and social clubs and societies offer the opportunity for every student to develop himself in the particular field in which he is interested and in which he feels he can best succeed1. Similar opportunities are not obtainable outside of a college campus. "The opportunity of being a member of a large group, of finding one's place, and of learning to live and get along with people is of great value to the student in preparing for his life work. The spirit of the group is democratic and each person is pretty accurately evaluated at his real worth. Family name and parental influence cut very little figure and the 'spoiled darling' from the home of wealth is likely to see life from a new and saner point of view before he has been in college many months. "And finally, in the words of another, 'Beyond all these things, broader and deeper in its relation to this business of living is the satisfaction that only education can give. It is a spiritual asset which is not lost by depression* and which grows with use. It is the badge of a distinguished brotherhood of which it is an honor to be a member, and the password which is becoming more and more necessary to secure admission to the better things of life.' "The ambitious young person cannot afford not to go to college." DEADLY DEDUCTIONS By Derf 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. * * * * SCHOOL openings are just like hangovers . . . . hazyand head splitting and not at all reminiscent of the night before. Or perhaps you'd rather say that it's more like stepping under an ice cold shower. To a freshman, it is the beginning (Gawd, what that poor freshman has ahead of him). For the Sophomore it marks a new era. For the junior it is an awakening. For the Seniors it's the last mile. * * * * Beer advertisements should be illegal in these soverign states who exclude that harmless beverage from the dignity of legality. It's like an "Artists and Models" magazine in an Auburn Frat house. A good slogan for the "Best of the Better Beers"—"Not a Giggle in a Gallon." In Germany today the best beer, and that means THE best beer in two and one half cents per scho"bner, brass band and everything thrown in. And Germany lost the war. Overheard in an exclusively freshman conversation—"Yeh, I pledged today. Which one? It's Sigma something or other—a mighty fine bunch of boys, don't remember their names but it's a swell bunch. A- feller named Morton is president. No, I don't remember whether Morton is his first name or his last." * * * * Col. Beck returned from camp with a coat of tan. Rumor has it that is spread from his nose. It is also interesting to remember that Col. Morrill and his big shot under study were under suspicion for petty larceny. A couple of trace chains, I believe. * * * * One of the few things that Rudy Vallee sings well is "Shanghai Lil" . . . but not too well. Troubadour Crosby gets better every day, notably his throat-lumper of the summer, "Learn to Croon". And did you notice the Crosby influence in Cab's revised hi-de-hey? / * * * * Up New York way they build their men in little packages. One of' these compact wottamen was entertaining a group of swift talking football men in the lobby of Alumni Hall the other night. He was mixing 'em up on a well played accordion. Several of the better footballers were pulling the obliging little fellow's leg with indifferent success. They were firing the names of every tune they'd ever heard at him and he would gently or vivaciously, as the tune required, swing into the request. Just as he was about to call it a day, a well known athlete twitter asked for something the freshman didn't know. "You must be from the mountains", ventured New York's gift to God's country. A snappy retort died on the athlete's' lips. He was.! * * * * Short short story: Student goes to Mr. 's rot-guttery. Buys a quantity of adcholic product. Alcohol in Mr. 's prescription is wood product. Student soon discovers quality of alcohol when he suddenly goes blind. Swears off. Regains sight while in the midst of Home Ec. students. Student goes back for more rot-gut. * * * * News item: "Moonlight and Pretzels" comes to Auburn. Hell, we've had moonlight and pretzels, what we want is belles and brew. * * * * The crowd is tense. The star witness is on the stand. The clerk swears him in. The judge clear his throat and stares and stares out the window. Five offenders of the Volstead amendment squirm in their chairs. All is silent—then two bottles of beer explode in the court-room. Burp. * * * * A correction is in order. The sports editor referred to Jimmy Hitchcock as the first two sport AU-American. With due respect to sports ed. I refer to Koch of Baylor who two or three years ago was All-American Catcher. No one, however, can dispute the fact that Jimmy Hitchcock was and is the greatest of all two sport AU-Americans. What this campus needs is an old ox road . . . Things around behind Smith Hall are looking up . . . A burp in hand is worth two in the B u s c h . . . . R.O.T.C. camp interfered with vacation/-'but half a loaf is better than none ; . . A man who would interrupt another's slumber with false news of the Trojans at the gates, is a cad and a bounder, sir. * * * * To the reader: If you are just finishing this, I sympathize with you. If you are reading from the bottom up, this is a good place to stop. WEDNESDAY, SEPT. 13, 1933 THE P L A I N S MAN A L A B A M A P O L Y T E C H N I C I N S T I T U TE P A G E T H R EE TWO GRADUATES ARE CHOSEN FOR ELECTRICAL SCHOOL WORK Prof. A. St. C. Dunstan, head of the department of electrical engineering, has received official notice that Westinghouse Electric Company has reinstated its student training course and that two recent graduates of Auburn have been selected to enter it. They are R. E. Williams and A. C. Cohen. They will report immediately to the training school at East Pittsburg, Pa. Williams and Cohen graduated in 1932 and Cohen received the degree MISS ERNESTINE HILL TO TEACH IN MEMPHIS MiSs Ernestine Hill, 1933 graduate in science and literature, has accepted a position as teacher of physical education at the Mary G. Hutchison School for Girls in Memphis, Tenn. She will begin her new work on September 19. In taking the B. S. degree in science and literature last May, Miss Hill at the same time met requirements of the State Department of Education and received the best certificate available for B. S. degree graduates. For the past three summers she has served as counsellor at Camp Walde-mar, near Kerrville, Texas, where she taught riding and aquatic sports. She is an expert horseman, having been an outstanding member of the Laa"ies Riding Class while a student here. of master of science in 1933, while Williams engaged in teaching. Each took electrical' engineering. Their appointment means that they are in line for continuous employment by the Westinghouse Company. Before the depression this school was operated by the Westinghouse Company and many Auburn men' went into the employ of the company in this way. Prof. Dunstan hopes that the future will place many more, now that the course has been reinstated. W. W. Hill, Jr., son of Professor W. W. Hill, Auburn, was employed recently by the General Electric Company, going to the laboratories at Schenectady, N. Y. He, too, is a young graduate in electrical engineering.

OCR Transcript | Semi-Weekly Plainsman Wednesday Edition THE Mass Meeting Tomorrow Night TO FOSTER THE A U B U R N S P I R IT VOLUME LVII AUBURN, ALABAMA, WEDNESDAY, SEPT. 13, 1933 NUMBER 2 AEROPLANE CRASH VICTIMS REPORTED IMPROVED; BOTH WILL COMPLETELY RECOVER Middlebrooks And Prof. Dixon Will Recover After Serious Injuries From Accident STREETMAN BURIED Mishap Occurred When Motor Of Plane Stalled And Ship Plunged To Earth DIXON EXPERT PILOT Several Hundred Spectators Startled When Plane Smashes Within Three Hundred Feet Of Field It was learned from authorities of the East Aalabam Hospital, Opelika, this morning that the conditions of Professor Solon Dixon and Glen Mid dlebrooks, freshman from Marianna, Florida, victims of an airplane acci dent at the Auburn-Opelika Airport Sunday afternoon is slightly improved. Prof. Dixon is suffering from a badly fractured left arm and lacerations about the body while Middle-brooks is suffering from concussion of the brain and severe bruises. Con trary to early reports, it has been de termined from X-ray pictures that Middlebrooks' skull is not fractured Attaches of the hospital and Dr. B F. Thomas, college physician, seem to be encouraged over the condition of both Dixon and Middlebrooks and recovery of both is expected. The body of Joseph Raider Street-man, the third victim of the accident, who died a short while after he was removed to the hospital, was taken to Marianna where interment was held yesterday afternoon. The acident occured about 2 p.m. Sunday. Prof. Dixon and the two students had been aloft in Dixon's private plane only a short time when the ship suddenly dived to earth from an altitude of about 400 feet. Airport attendants said that Dixon was ap pareritly circling the field of the airport preparatory to, landing when something went wrong. The nose of the plane ploughed into the ground about 300 feet from the edge of the landing field, and within view of several hundred horrified spectators. The ship hit with such -terrific impact that the entire framework smashed beyond repair. As yet no definite cause of the crack-up has been found. Varying opinions have it that the motor f the plane suddenly ceased to function causing the plane to stall and spin to the ground. The plane was powered by a Curtis 0X6 motor and was in good running condition when the victims went aloft. Prof. Dixon brought the plane to Auburn from Andalusia, his home town, about four years ago when he assumed a professorship in mechanical engineering. He held a limited commercial license and was generally recognized as an experienced and expert pilot. Prof. Dixon obtained a Bachelor of Science degree from - Auburn about eight years ago. He is about 30 years old. Middlebrooks is the son of Rev. and Mrs. W. E. Middlebrooks, of Marianna, Fla. WOMEN'S ORGANIZATION HOLDS FIRST MEETING First fall business meeting of the Business and Professional Womens Club was held Monday evening at the Thomas Hotel with Mrs. Henry Good, president, presiding. The club voted to cooperate with the local Parenl^Teachers Association in preparing a stunt for the Community Night program to be held next week. Mrs. A. F. Nickel will have charge of arranging this part of the entertainment. The club will have monthly luncheons during the winter, the first to be held on Wednesday noon, September 27, e t the Thomas Hotel. Plans for the year's work were made at the meeting Monday. First 'A' Club Dance Be Given Saturday Evening That the first "A" Club dance of the current session will be held in the Alumni gymnasium next Saturday evening between the hours of nine and twelve was announced today by Will Chrietz-berg, president of the "A" Club. Further announcement was made to the effect that the Auburn Knights have been engaged to play for the affair. Although the personnel of the orchestra has undergone a change from that of last year, the same brand of music which received such wide acclaim- both on the campus and throughout the South will be heard. This year, the popular campus band will be under the direction of James Vance, ' saxaphonist, who has player with the orchestra for the past two years Other members are Earl Starnes, Floyd Carrol, Lynwood Lacy, George Poole, C. S. Blackledge, G. M. Drey, Louis Bosenlener and Bob Darling. KIWANIS CLUB TO ENDORSE NEW BOOK Autographs Of Opelika And Auburn Members Obtained At Recent Meeting JOINT MEETING HELD Book Be Presented To Gov. Miller At State Convention In Birmingham in October The Kiwanis Club of Opelika was ,the guest of the Auburn Kiwanians at their regular meeting last Monday. The inter-club meeting Was held for the purpose of autographing a book, called the "torch", which is being passed around to Kiwanians throughout the entire state. The "torch" will contain most of the names of Kiwanis Club members in the 'Alabama Kiwanis District and will be presented to District Goyernor J. E. Lewis at the convention which will be held in Birmingham next month. The Auburn club received the "torch" from the Eufaula club. After the inter-club meeting in Opelika the book was sent to Selma where it will be autographed and passed on to some other club. Among the Opelika members present were Dr. O. H. Tatum and Mr. J. T. Whatley, president and secretary respectively of the Opelika Kiwanis Club. During the meeting the members were entertained with a program which included a vocal solo by Aaron Orenstein and a talk by Professor Roe on his stay in Germany during the past year.

Scottie Chalmers, president of the Council, stated that the convening hour had been changed so that the meeting would not interfere with regular fraternity meetings. A great amount of controversy has been in evidence regarding the enforcement of Interfraternity Council rules pertaining to rushing and pledging of men and a settlement is to be arranged at the meeting. A number of fraternities have also complained because the pledge files in the Tiger Drug Store have not been posted to date. Chalmers further stated that a committee would be appointed to arrange a schedule for fraternity pledges to visit in other fraternities for meals. In the past, it has been the custom for two Freshmen from each house to visit another house once each week. Meetings for the ensuing year will be held at seven p. ml on the first Monday of each month at the homes of the various fraternity members according to the age of the chapters on the campus. A definite athletic program has been arranged for the coming' year with the usual interfraternity events being sponsored. Trophies will be awarded the winners and runners-up in each of the contests. Last year the council sponsored basketball, tennis, indoor baseball, golf, and track events, in addition to an Easter Egg Hunt.

Under the leadership of Director P. R. Bidez over seventy students have been playing every afternoon in an attempt to gain, a position with the band. This year, as in previous years, the Auburn Band will be in attendance at practically all the football games, including the Tulane game in New Orleans. Also, they will probably resume their yearly trip to Mobile to be featured on the Mardi Gras season program. Thursday night will find the musicians playing in their first appearance this year when the student body will assemble in Langdon Hall for the first mass meeting of the year. AUBURN GRADUATE HAS HIGH RATING AT EMORY After three years study of pre-medicine at the Alabama Polytechnic Institute, J. W. Dupree, Jr., last year led his class in medicine at Emory University.

L. A. Knapp, Postmaster Scientific Experiments Here Partially Corroborate Belief That Century Plant Has Curative Qualities The date for the opening dances has been set an Friday and Saturday, October 6 and 7, according to an announcement by Hamp Morris, chairman of the student social committee. Morris stated that the committee considered this date as the most desirable during the fall season since Auburn will-not be engaged in a football game that weekend. A number of nationally known orchestras are being considered to play for the dances. Chairman Morris has been in touch with several orchestra booking agancies, including the Music Corporation of America, which books such bands as Jan Garber, Hal Kemp and a host of others and announcement of the orchestra will be made in the Plainsman as soon as possible. The contract for the decorations for the dances has not been let yet but the Executive Cabinet will begin calling for sealed bids within a few days and many novel ideas are expected to be presented for the scheme of the decorations. Five dances will constitute this year's Sophomore Hop. Beginning with a tea dance Friday afternoon at four o'clock, a dance will be held that night, at which time the Grand March will be held, Saturday's program will consist of a morning dance, tea dance, and the Farewell Ball beginnnig at nine o'clock in the evening. Students who are serving on the Social Committee this year include: Hamp Morris, chairman; Fred McLaren, Gid Morris, and Scotty McRae, all seniors; Britt Veazy and Neil Davis, puniors; Aubrey Hill amLC. Witty Walters, sophomores. There is also one more junior representative and a freshman representative to be elected by the Executive Cabinet at an early meeting. AUBURN POST PLEDGES SUPPORT TO EDUCATION The traditional belief in Mexico that juice from the century plant possesses specific curative qualities for many diseases has been tested scientifically at the Alabama Polytechnic Institute in the treatment of experimental nephritis induced in small animals. Results of research by Prof. Herman D. Jones and associates here indicate at least a partial corroboration of the belief in treatment of this disease which, in its effects, is quite similar to that which occurs normally in both humans and animals. In * studying 132 animals it was found that 69 per cent recovered from the disease when fed the juice (agave concentrate); whereas only a 30 per cent recovery resulted among those not receiving the concentrate. "From these observations the agave concentrate apparently had a protective action on the kidney or aided materially in eliminating, the uranium nitrate {injected in the animal to produce the disease) in a very short time, thus preventing its corrosive action on that organ", said Professor Jones in reporting the study in the "Journal of Pharmacology and Experimental Therapeutics". Numerous research projects with the juice of the century plant have been conducted by Professor Jones, the first of his investigations being done,in Mexico City four years ago while on leave from Auburn. Dr. R. C. Hughes and G. Bernard Johnston assisted him in his latest study. . NOTICE! There will be a meeting of the editorial staff of the Plainsman at the Pi Kappa Alpha House, Sunday evening at seven p. m. Whole hearted support of adequate education in Alabama was pledged by the local John H. Willis Post No. 36 of the American .Legion at its first meeting since spring Monday night. This was done in conformity with action taken by the Alabama Department of the American Legion at its meeting in Tuscaloosa. The Post expects to send resolutions to. -Gov. Miller urging everything possible to keep the schools open the full nine months. Political observations of some parts of Europe were given by Prof. John W. Roe, who has just completed a 15 months visit abroad. SOPHOMORES MAY JOIN MOUNTED BATTERY UNIT Due to conflicts .preventing the required number of Juniors to sign up for the* Mounted Battery this year a limited number of Sophomores are to be given an opportunity to join that organization. All Sophomores who can and wish to attend Mounted Battery drill from 10:00 a.m. to 12:00 noon on Thursdays are requested to sign up in the office of the Commandant without delay. Those finally assigned to that organization will be excused from the Tuesday drill every other week, to partially compensate for the extra hour on Thursday mornings.

Adv. Mgr. Joe Whiteside Circulation Manager STUDENT GOVERNMENT With the beginning of each college year comes the same speculation, "will the student government organization function this year?" Evidently the majority of the student body does not take into consideration the fact that the Executive Cabinet, administrative student group in charge of the student government organization here, cannot operate effectively without the united support and cooperation of the student body. The Undergraduate Student Government Association was formed for the purpose of dealing effectively with matters of student affairs, to perpetuate the traditions of the school, to promote better understanding between the faculty and the student body, to control all matters delegated to the student association, to control and direct student finances, and to supervise all student activities in order that they may be conducted for the best interests of the student body. It may readily be seen that unless student cooperation with the Executive Cabinet is obtained, all of the purposes of the organization must fail. The organization should be looked upon in the light that it is to aid the student body rather than to impose upon it in any way by its judiciary powers, and that greater democracy may be obtained for the students through its promotion. Especially is attention called to the Committee on Coordination whose duty it is to regulate campus activities to avoid conflicting dates. Within the next few weeks, a number of affairs will be given honoring fraternity and sorority pledges and arrangements should be made whereby conflicting dates may be avoided. It is the opinion of the Plainsman that in its present form the student government association will never be able to operate with the efficiency that should be maintained. It is our belief that the constitution of the organization should be carefully studied and reorganized so that more effective work could be accomplished. We believe that with a smaller number on the governing body, better results could be obtained. With the large number of students now on the cabinet, a number of the committees are totally inactive. It is a topic of general speculation as to whether members of the various committees even know what their respective duties are. Up until the present time politics has entered largely into the selection of members on the Executive Cabinet rather than the more sane considerations of capability and merit. It is true that every organization is not without its weak members, but it would easily be possible to pick from the student body at large six or eight men who could really work on the student organization and accomplish almost unbelievable results. Work on the organization in the past has been confined to the efforts of a small percent of its membership and members of the faculty . However, until some change is made or until some more adequate method of administration of student affairs by the students is discovered, united support should be given the present venture. There are numbers of ways in which students and student organizations are supposed to cooperate with the cabinet, but in which they have not been doing so. Careful attention should be given these matters so that, until some change is made, efficiency of operation may not be impeded. The world will seem more natural now that the youngsters are about to quit analyzing monetary affairs, world markets, etc., in favor of explaining why "that kick wasn't blocked in the last quarter." A NEW ATTITUDE College manners are the greatest assets that can be derived from years spent in institutions of higher education. The manner in which freshmen should be treated greatly affects ones standing socially, especially since some upperclassmen with childish ideas make a practice of hazing the freshmen to the point of physical torture and even vulgarity. Men who practice such imbicilic stunts and try to make themselves believe that they are entertaining both themselves and those gathered around are being looked down upon by their fellow students more with each succeeding term. The idea that the "Rat" is something to be made fun of and mistreated' at every opportunity is fast losing favor with the more sensible student, and the idea that upperclassmen should try to help the first year students is rapidly gaining popularity. The treatment of freshmen is of such widespread interest that even the larger newspapers of the country are discussing it in their editorial columns, and especially is this topic receiving notification in the cities in which colleges and universities are located. The following editorial was clipped from the columns of, the Birmingham Age-Herald and was entitled "College Manners" : Return of another college year brings back to college authorities the old problem of how to treat the freshmen. Time was when upper classmen met the problem in their own way, and all officials could do was to try to see to it that the system did not work too great a hardship on new students. But all things pass, and even campus greetings change. "Bend over, freshman," is not heard so frequently as in the past. The newcomer, on the contrary is made to feel at home, as though he were of some consequence in the scheme of things. This> friendliness is even manifested in letters written to prospective students. Sophomores are putting a genuine welcome sign out, with no bed slat concealed behind the door. There is, after all, no rational ground for the argument that freshmen, their ears ringing with high school laudations, need to have some of their conceit taken out of them. The average youngster, entering the strange college environment and observing the nonchalance of his elders, is not likely to be offensively cocksure. What he needs is sympathy and tact in order that he may as quickly as possible adjust himself to his novel setting. The idea seems to have taken hold, in any event, with the result-that the reception now being given to new students is marked generally by kindness and understanding. The hard-boiled method doubt-, less gave strength to some, but the cordial one offers greater hope for good to all. That can be said, even though in some quarters there is still much sighing for the days marked by the "young barbarians at play."

Dear Sir, With the start of the football season will begin the holding of mass meetings, and I feel that I have something to say on the subject. If I were an orator, I would climb upon some soap box and harangue the crowds to my hearts content; but as matters stand, I am forced to resort to this means of dispensation of my thoughts and I sincerely hope that they will be published. When I first came to Auburn, three years ago, I was told that I would have to attend mass meetings and yell until I gave out. I really didn't see any reason for it because it seemed that the more I yelled, the* harder luck the football team would have. I'll admit though that at times it was a lot of fun to get out there in the mob and raise as much cain as possible. With the beginning of my Sophomore year I made the first mass meeting out of curiosity and then I didn't yell. I had an idea that it was childish, and that only the Freshmen should cheer the team. I thought that mass meetings were a waste of time because you yelled anyhow when Hitchcock or somebody broke away for a long gain. Last year I felt pretty much the same way until I attended one game and sat with my parents on the opposite side of the field from the Auburn cheering section. The howls of the disorganized cheering were so distorted and faint that they could scarcely be heard, but when the group joined into one • concentrated cheer, it rang in my ears. It was not until then that I realized the fact that the members of the team do not hear those individual efforts and attempted witticisms, but they cannot help hearing the combined yelling of the entire student body. Right in the midst of my awakening I was driven to shame when another yell was started but died away because fully half of the students must not have known it. Then I 0 PUBLICITY other than adverse and imaginary can be had from this meandering person by those high-fly and mighty sororities who fail to invite him to these sweet and dance-around parties held by the just mentioned sororities for the purpose of impressing on adolescent feminine minds the fact that the bunch holding the dance-around and hand-holding is the bestest in the world. This may be glanced on as a final and' high-stepping statement. * * * * From the town above comes tidings both jingle-tingling and welcome as the flowers in May, June and July.

If only the entire student body would realize what an impression massed cheering has oh the spectators and the team I'm sure that everyone would flock to the mass meetings and try, at least, to learn the yells and songs. If cheering is lo6ked upon with pride at such schools as Southern California, Army, 'Navy, Yale, etc., why shouldn't the.students here take the same attitude? I feel better now that I have these thoughts off my chest and I hope that they will do somebody some good. Very truly yours, A SENIOR.

Wilmore Discusses Higher Education Chairman of Administrative Committee Answers Age Old Question, "Why Go To College?" One's chances of success in any profession will be increased greatly by a college education, was the answer given by Dean J. J. Wilmore, chairman of the administrative committee at the Alabama Polytechnic Institute, to the question, Why go to college? "With the increasing complexities of modern life it is becoming more and more important that young men and women who are ambitious to succeed should have the advantage of college training," he explained. Dean Wilmore did not take the position that one could not succeed without such training but he said that a college was an institution organized expressly for this purpose where such advantages were offered at a saving of time and expense. "The professions of law and medicine," he said, "are op^n only to college graduates. The practice of engineering in many states is restricted by registration laws to those persons who have graduated from an accredited engineering college or have equivalent qualifications. The ticket of admission to the teaching profession, particularly to the better positions, is a college diploma. "The bitter competition and the growing complications of modern merchandising is increasing at a rapid rate the demand for college-trained men in business administration. In the industrial field the complication and competition is no less severe and the young -man who has a broad college training in industrial organization has a distinct advantage. "Agriculture, perhaps of all the industries) is in greatest need of trained leaders. The farmer needs to be trained in business, to some extent in engineering, in several of the natural sciences, as well as in the subjects pertaining to technical agriculture. Only in a college could such variety of training be acquired. f "It has come to be almost impossible to make a success in any field of endeavor without an education. It is impossible, of course to secure an education without going to colleg^ but the college is organized expressly for the purpose. The courses are planned with care, the subjects are condensed and arranged in proper sequence, and capable instructors are ready at all times to give assistance. "Much wasted effort and time are saved, the cost is less in the long run and the value is greater. The diploma from a reputable institution establishes at once the status of its holder. It represents a definite amount of accomplishment and is accepted wherever educational standards are recognized.' v "There are many other valuable 'by-products' of a college course besides the purely academic and utilitarian features. College teachers are usually persons of high ideals and of culture and refinement. They are interested in young penple and the daily association of the students with these teachers during four years of the formative period of their lives is of the greatest value in the building of character. "Students who attend college constitute a highly selective group. Definite educational preparation is required for entrance, and high standards of accomplishment are required for continuation in college classes. It is a real privilege for a young person to become a member of such a group and by daily contacts in class room and in friendly discussions, establish lifetime friendships which it would be impossible to form outside of college.' "Then there are the various college activities which offer opportunity for valuable training in various fields. Fraternity life, athletics, college publications, Y. M. C. A., Y. W. C. A., dramatic and debating societies, glee clubs, college band, and the many scientific, literary, technical and social clubs and societies offer the opportunity for every student to develop himself in the particular field in which he is interested and in which he feels he can best succeed1. Similar opportunities are not obtainable outside of a college campus. "The opportunity of being a member of a large group, of finding one's place, and of learning to live and get along with people is of great value to the student in preparing for his life work. The spirit of the group is democratic and each person is pretty accurately evaluated at his real worth. Family name and parental influence cut very little figure and the 'spoiled darling' from the home of wealth is likely to see life from a new and saner point of view before he has been in college many months. "And finally, in the words of another, 'Beyond all these things, broader and deeper in its relation to this business of living is the satisfaction that only education can give. It is a spiritual asset which is not lost by depression* and which grows with use. It is the badge of a distinguished brotherhood of which it is an honor to be a member, and the password which is becoming more and more necessary to secure admission to the better things of life.' "The ambitious young person cannot afford not to go to college." DEADLY DEDUCTIONS By Derf 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. * * * * SCHOOL openings are just like hangovers . . . . hazyand head splitting and not at all reminiscent of the night before. Or perhaps you'd rather say that it's more like stepping under an ice cold shower. To a freshman, it is the beginning (Gawd, what that poor freshman has ahead of him). For the Sophomore it marks a new era. For the junior it is an awakening. For the Seniors it's the last mile. * * * * Beer advertisements should be illegal in these soverign states who exclude that harmless beverage from the dignity of legality. It's like an "Artists and Models" magazine in an Auburn Frat house. A good slogan for the "Best of the Better Beers"—"Not a Giggle in a Gallon." In Germany today the best beer, and that means THE best beer in two and one half cents per scho"bner, brass band and everything thrown in. And Germany lost the war. Overheard in an exclusively freshman conversation—"Yeh, I pledged today. Which one? It's Sigma something or other—a mighty fine bunch of boys, don't remember their names but it's a swell bunch. A- feller named Morton is president. No, I don't remember whether Morton is his first name or his last." * * * * Col. Beck returned from camp with a coat of tan. Rumor has it that is spread from his nose. It is also interesting to remember that Col. Morrill and his big shot under study were under suspicion for petty larceny. A couple of trace chains, I believe. * * * * One of the few things that Rudy Vallee sings well is "Shanghai Lil" . . . but not too well. Troubadour Crosby gets better every day, notably his throat-lumper of the summer, "Learn to Croon". And did you notice the Crosby influence in Cab's revised hi-de-hey? / * * * * Up New York way they build their men in little packages. One of' these compact wottamen was entertaining a group of swift talking football men in the lobby of Alumni Hall the other night. He was mixing 'em up on a well played accordion. Several of the better footballers were pulling the obliging little fellow's leg with indifferent success. They were firing the names of every tune they'd ever heard at him and he would gently or vivaciously, as the tune required, swing into the request. Just as he was about to call it a day, a well known athlete twitter asked for something the freshman didn't know. "You must be from the mountains", ventured New York's gift to God's country. A snappy retort died on the athlete's' lips. He was.! * * * * Short short story: Student goes to Mr. 's rot-guttery. Buys a quantity of adcholic product. Alcohol in Mr. 's prescription is wood product. Student soon discovers quality of alcohol when he suddenly goes blind. Swears off. Regains sight while in the midst of Home Ec. students. Student goes back for more rot-gut. * * * * News item: "Moonlight and Pretzels" comes to Auburn. Hell, we've had moonlight and pretzels, what we want is belles and brew. * * * * The crowd is tense. The star witness is on the stand. The clerk swears him in. The judge clear his throat and stares and stares out the window. Five offenders of the Volstead amendment squirm in their chairs. All is silent—then two bottles of beer explode in the court-room. Burp. * * * * A correction is in order. The sports editor referred to Jimmy Hitchcock as the first two sport AU-American. With due respect to sports ed. I refer to Koch of Baylor who two or three years ago was All-American Catcher. No one, however, can dispute the fact that Jimmy Hitchcock was and is the greatest of all two sport AU-Americans. What this campus needs is an old ox road . . . Things around behind Smith Hall are looking up . . . A burp in hand is worth two in the B u s c h . . . . R.O.T.C. camp interfered with vacation/-'but half a loaf is better than none ; . . A man who would interrupt another's slumber with false news of the Trojans at the gates, is a cad and a bounder, sir. * * * * To the reader: If you are just finishing this, I sympathize with you. If you are reading from the bottom up, this is a good place to stop. WEDNESDAY, SEPT. 13, 1933 THE P L A I N S MAN A L A B A M A P O L Y T E C H N I C I N S T I T U TE P A G E T H R EE TWO GRADUATES ARE CHOSEN FOR ELECTRICAL SCHOOL WORK Prof. A. St. C. Dunstan, head of the department of electrical engineering, has received official notice that Westinghouse Electric Company has reinstated its student training course and that two recent graduates of Auburn have been selected to enter it. They are R. E. Williams and A. C. Cohen. They will report immediately to the training school at East Pittsburg, Pa. Williams and Cohen graduated in 1932 and Cohen received the degree MISS ERNESTINE HILL TO TEACH IN MEMPHIS MiSs Ernestine Hill, 1933 graduate in science and literature, has accepted a position as teacher of physical education at the Mary G. Hutchison School for Girls in Memphis, Tenn. She will begin her new work on September 19. In taking the B. S. degree in science and literature last May, Miss Hill at the same time met requirements of the State Department of Education and received the best certificate available for B. S. degree graduates. For the past three summers she has served as counsellor at Camp Walde-mar, near Kerrville, Texas, where she taught riding and aquatic sports. She is an expert horseman, having been an outstanding member of the Laa"ies Riding Class while a student here. of master of science in 1933, while Williams engaged in teaching. Each took electrical' engineering. Their appointment means that they are in line for continuous employment by the Westinghouse Company. Before the depression this school was operated by the Westinghouse Company and many Auburn men' went into the employ of the company in this way. Prof. Dunstan hopes that the future will place many more, now that the course has been reinstated. W. W. Hill, Jr., son of Professor W. W. Hill, Auburn, was employed recently by the General Electric Company, going to the laboratories at Schenectady, N. Y. He, too, is a young graduate in electrical engineering.

Kappa Delta Sorority Has National Conclave The twenty-first national convention of Kappa Delta sorority was held from June 26 to July 1 at the Birch-ment Beach resort in Bemidji, Minnesota. Delegates from seventy chapters and from many parts of the United States represented the 12,000 members of the sorority, which is the fourth largest national sorority. To enable worthy Kappa Deltas to continue their college education, the convention voted to enlarge its student loan fund hy giving to the fund $5,000 from the national treasury.
