Semi-Weekly Plainsman Saturday Issue ®h£ Anbnvtx plainsman See Basketball Game Tonight TO FOSTER THE A U B U R N S P I R IT VOLUME LVIII AUBURN, ALABAMA, SATURDAY, FEB. 16, 1935 NUMBER 34 BUSINESS FRAT ELECTS TWELVE TUESDAY NIGHT Seniors, Juniors, And Sophomores Are Chosen To Membership In Delta Sigma Pi PLEDGES WILL MEET Local Chapter Of Society Has Gained In International Efficiency Contest Says Crow In Last Game For Auburn Saturday Twelve students from the sophomore, junior, and senior classes of the school of business administration were elected to Delta Sigma Pi, international honorary business and professional fraternity, here Tuesday night. Those tapped are: seniors—G. G. McGowin, McKenzie; B. M. Prince, Opelika; J. R. Howell, Dothan; juniors— M. B. York, Monroeville; Eugene Tomlinson, Lexington; sophomores— J. W. Rainer, Union Springs; J. A. Clopton, Decatur; J. E. Dunning, Thomasville; R. B. McGee, Auburn; J. L. Stewart, Greenville; H. D. Williams, Andalusia; N. Latimer, Geneva. The first pledge meeting of the newly elected men is called for tonight at 7 o'clock in the "L" building. In order to be elected to this fraternity a student must have averaged above 80 and have shown peculiar interests in business or professional subjects. "The purpose of the fraternity," according to W. C. Crow, faculty adviser, "is to band together the outstanding business or professional students of the various classes to learn more about the conditions about us." Delta Sigma Pi is international in that its fifty-two chapters are located throughout this country, Canada, and Mexico. The recently published fraternity directory shows that since the founding of the organization at N. Y. U. in 1908, 9800 members have been initiated. These members are now located in every state of the union, every province of Canada, and in 28 foreign countries. The most recent check up in the organization's international efficiency contest shows that the local Beta Lambda chapter has climbed from 22nd place to tie with Alpha Epsi-lon chapter of Minnesota for 14th place. Officers of the fraternity for this year are: Miller Pitts, president; Jack Shaw, secretary; and Johnny Orr, treasurer. The chapter roll now totals 28, including the twelve new men. Three seniors: Cleve Brown, Frank Sindler, and George Quinney will play their final games on the court for Auburn in Alumni Gymnasium tomorrow night when the Tigers engage Sewanee. Coach Ralph Jordan, basketball mentor, is shown with the group of seniors. Tigers Ring Down Curtain On Current Hardwood Program With Two Game Series Against Sewanee Tigers In Local Gym; Auburn Out For Victories DAWLEY TO SPEAK IN LANGDON HALL ON MONDAY NIGHT Fort Benning Officer Will Address Large Crowd Of R.O. T.C. Cadets On Artillery Profit Made Here On F. D. R. Birthday Ball Of the total receipts from the President's Ball given here Jan. 30, a sum of $154 remains as net profit, of which $108 will be used for local relief of infantile paralysis, accord-ing to C. W. Edwards, chairman of the program committee. The remaining $46 will be sent to the national committee on infantile paralysis research. A total of 143 people in Auburn paid twenty-five cents to have their names put in a birthday greeting telegram to the president. Of the $35 raised in this ymanner, $25 will be returned to be used by the city for the treatment of those afflicted with infantile paralysis in this vicinity. At a meeting of the Inter-Club Council Monday night it was decided that the proceeds from the Auburn affair would be expended through the Alabama Association for Crippled Children. Dr. Paul Irvine, president of the Kiwanis Club and a director in the association, will be in charge of spending the money for this district. It is expected by the Inter-Club Council that the money raised in Auburn will be sufficient to rehabilitate three children afflicted with infantile paralysis who live in the vicinity of Auburn. Lieut. Col. E. J. Dawley, instructor at the Infantry School at Fort Benning, will lecture here Monday evening at 7:30 o'clock in Langdon Hall. Col. Dawley is the third Benning officer to be brought to Auburn this year under the auspices of the Officers Reserve Corp to lecture on interesting subjects pertaining to military science. It is expected that Col. Dawley's talk will be of great interest to all Reserve officers and advance corps students as it will deal entirely with the Field Artillery in regard to its organization, employment, team work with the Infantry, and methods of communication. Col. Dawley will first discuss the origin of the Artillery and will follow this by a description of the principles of employment used by this division. This includes formation for march and places in march column or clumns; employment with security detachments; and the positions and missions employed during either an attack or defence. His talk here on Monday evening (Continued on page 4) • Feature Writer Here For Educational Study Mr. Ben James, special feature writer for a leading magazine of the Crowell Publishing Company, was in Auburn for three days this week to study the layout and plan of the School of Education here. At the present time Mr. James is in search of material for a special article on teacher training. From the Teachers College at Columbia University he was directed to Auburn for material on the training of high school teachers, for which Auburn is considered one of the best schools in the South. Arriving in Auburn Monday morning, Mr. James spent most of the day in conference with Dean Zebulon of the education department. That evening he was in conference with several members of the education faculty, and the following day he made a special study of the plan of practice teaching at the Lee County High School. He left Auburn Wednesday afternoon. ' Large Crowd Expected To Witness Tiger Five In Closing Games This Weekend The Auburn varsity rings down the curtain on the 1935 basketball campaign tonight and tomorrow night as the Purple Tigers from Sewanee invade the Plains for a pair of contests. The Jordan-coached- outfit will be making their last stand as the Tiger from the hills of Tennessee clashes with the Tiger from the Plains in what promises to be a stand-out court offering. f It is not the first time this season that the two teams have met. On the Plainsmen's first road jaunt of the year the Purple Bengal repulsed the Auburn contingent 19-18 in an exciting engagement on the Sewanee battle ground and the Orange and Blue forces will be seeking to avenge this one-point defeat, as well as raise their standing in the Southeastern Conference rankings, which are just about to reach their final set-up. Auburn has had an off and on season, at times making brilliant forays into the enemy territory, but on the whole being comparatively unsucces-ful. Three one-point losses have been recorded against the Auburn five and (Continued on Page 4) Hall And Thornhill To Debate On Tour MILITARY ORDERS CHANGE RANKINGS IN R. 0. T.

Henderson, wife of former Governor Charles B. Henderson, will give two one-act plays in the Recreation Hall on Saturday afternoon at tljree o'clock. Mrs Henderson is one of the south's foremost readers and lecturers, and Auburn is indeed fortunate in having this opportunity of hearing her. Also on the program will be Miss Mildred Green, formerly a soloist with the Woman's College Glee Club of Montgomery. Critics have been lavish in their praise of Miss Green's rich contralto, and those who go to hear her are promised a rare treat. A tea will be given immediately following the program. Prices for tickets will be twenty-five cents for students and thirty-five cents for townspeople. Eleven campus debates and 15 out of town debates are included in the schedule of the Auburn Debating Society, according to Prof E. D. Hess, coach of the local debaters. The freshman team will compete against Holtville High School Feb. 18, debating the question of the equalization of educational opportunities. Auburn will uphold Doth sides of the question in two debates, with 5. Hall, M. Hall, Randolph, and Hair-ston taking part in the debate. This will be the only campus debate in which a judge's decision will not be rendered. A second freshman debate is scheduled for March 1,. a t which time Mercer will be debated on the subject of state medicine. Auburn will uphold the negative side. That evening Auburn's varsity will meet the varsity team of Mercer on the question of the international shipment of arris and munitions. Other schools to debate on the campus are Union University, March 14; Spring Hill, April 5; Montevallo, April 10; Tulane, April 18; Buck-nell, April 11 and 24; and Georgia Tech, May 2.

These debates will be included in a second tour to be made by the de bate society. 'A'Club To Sponsor Hop Saturday Night The first "A" Club dance of the current semester will be held in Alumni Gymnasium tomorrow night, according to an announcement by Haygood Patterson, president of the athletic group. Dancing will get underway immediately after the basketball game between Sewanee and Auburn, about nine o'clock. The Auburn Cavaliers, under the direction of Happy Davis, will furnish the music for the occasion. The band has promised a varied program of dance music, which will include a number of new song hits. As in the past, a coterie of out-of-town girls will be in attendance at the affair. This number will be augmented by a large group of co-eds. A large crowd is expected to be on the floor when the orchestra strikes up the first "A" Club dance since Christmas. The hop is anticipated as one of the outstanding attractions of the year by a large number of students. Several no-breaks and "A" Club lead-outs will be a feature of the dance program. Admission for the affair will be the usual charge of one dol-- lar per couple. RIFLE SQUAD OUT FOR NEW LAURELS IN FUTURE MEETS High Marksmanship Being Dis played By Local Sharpshoot ers; Successful This Season SENIOR CADETS TO GIVE DANCE HERE MARCH 15 Ellis Announces List Of Committees Which Wil!

There will be an important meeting of the Glee Club for rehearsal Monday at 7:00 P.M. at the Episcopal Parish House. All members are urged to be present. The Auburn rifle team is exhibiting very high marksmanship and promises to be a formidable contestant for the National Championship this year. Auburn won the National Championship last year but was disqualified because of a technicality. The official high score for 1934 was 961. The Fourth Corps Area Gallery Rifle Competition is well under way. In last week's 15-10 match, Auburn scored 3700, New Mexico Military Institute—3545, Rose Polytechnic Institute— 3359, scores of New Mexico A. and M., and Michigan State College have not been received yet. Auburn participants in the match were Capt. Van Hoose, Bradford, Chapman, Hardeman, Strickland, Casson, Dexter, Sevenson, Lee, and Heistand and the men whose score was not counted in the match were; Branson, Calloway, Tomlinson, Cooper, and Booth, who was sick. A prone-sitting 15-10 match is being held this week between the contesting teams of Iowa State College, Washington University, Carnegie Institute of Technology, University of South Dakota, University of Iowa, University of Nevada, and North Carolina State. In the most recent 15-10 match here, the scoring was: Rich, 385; Wilkes, 354; Toshee, 343; Edwards, (Continued on page 4) The annual Military Ball will be staged here on Friday night, March 15, according to a recent announcement by Frank Ellis, president of the local company of Scabbard and Blade. All arrangements for the affair will be made by seven committees, which have already been appointed. The executive committee, which will exercise general supervision in arranging details of the dance, is headed by Ellis. Other members of the group are: Bill Hughes, H. T. Martin, Howard Morris, Billy Roberts, and Lieut. J. V. Phelps. Other committees and their respective chairmen are: invitation and reception, Jack Coan; finance, Wallace Nelson; publicity, Fred Moss; decorations, Bob Klein; music, Arthur Ellenburg, and refreshments, Bill Collins. A total of fifty three students and officers will serve on these several committees. Cadet Colonel Bill Hughes will escort the girl who will be selected by the executive committee to lead the ball. According to Frank Ellis, financial arrangements for the dance have already been made. He stated that fifty cents of the allowance each senior had for the past summer camp remains in a fund which will be used to help defray expenses of the affair. The total amount in this fund is about seventy dollars. Additional money necessary for the dance will be taken from the clothing allowance of each^enior cadet. Approximately sixty-five or seventy cents from each allowance will be used. The Auburn unit, Company "L," of Scabbard and Blade will entertain members and their dates at a banquet at six thirty on the night of the ball. Arrangements are being made to make this one of the most outstanding of such events to be staged on the campus this semester. Meetings of the various committees will be called by their respective chairmen in the near future and full details of celebration will be made. Preparations for a gala and unique affair are underway and later announcements concerning arrangements will be made in future issues of The Plainsman. Two Interfrat Games Scheduled Next Week Only two games will be played in the interfraternity basketball tournament next week, but games will be played regularly the week of Feb. 24-March 2 and the tournament will be run off as quickly as possible. Games next week will be played between Pi Kappa Phi and Alpha Tau Omega and Kappa Alpha and Sigma Nu. Pi Kappa Phi and Alpha Tau Omega will meet Monday afternoon at 4:15 and Kappa Alpha and Sigma Nu Monday evening at 6:45. The rest of the week will be given over to the teams in order to allow them to practice. The freshman and varsity teams having completed their schedules, the gym will be available in the afternoons for the teams to practice. Senator Heflin Will Speak on Prohibition Senator Tom Heflin is scheduled to speak at the Opelika Court House Sunday afternoon at 2:30 o'clock on the prohibition question in Alabama. Sen. Heflin's talk is to be given under the auspices of the Lee County Anti-Repeal Association. Rep. N. D. Denson of Opelika will introduce the speaker, who will uphold the present prohibition laws of Alabama. A committee of 125 citizens of Lee County have been appointed to assist C. W. Edwards, chairman of the Lee County Anti-Repeal Association, to retain prohibition in Alabama. Several speakers are scheduled to speak in various points in Lee County, including Rev. E. J. Richardson, who will speak in Opelika Friday, Feb. 22 at 7:30 o'clock. Rev. Richardson will discuss the Virginia system of liquor control.

Lets All Join The Plainsman wishes to congratulate at this time the courageous attitude shown' by several members of the Freshman Class who are seeking to revivify an old custom that is distinctly Auburnese, the shaving of heads. The abolishing of this quaint old' custom by President Knapp on an eventful occasion in 1932 did untold damage to all that Auburn had come to know as traditional; it is indeed unfortunate that since that time the students have given the appearance of being civilized human beings. That alumni of the Peeled Head Era have not taken steps to remedy matters seems, to say the least, a bit disloyal. Too, it has been our observation that the conduct of Auburn students on football trips in recent years has seemed somewhat out of character since there were no skinned heads to indicate that such conduct was to be expected. After all, if Auburn students are going to be barbarous, they should at least look like barbarians. If they fail to observe this little nicety much of the picturesqueness of being an ass is lost. We may mention also that the appearance in class rooms of a round of bald heads has in the past inspired professors to all sorts of academic feats. It makes them feel like wardens in a penitentiary. But that is only just, for they treat the students like criminals anyway. It is well perhaps to mention at this juncture the unusual distinction among Southern colleges given Auburn by the natty appearance of her bald freshmen; in the past an Auburn freshman away from headquarters was immediately recognized as such. Of course the better class of people generally shunned him. But that was only proper too, for in every football city there was • usually a swarm of gamblers, bootleggers and hijackers who were willing enough to associate with him, since it takes only one stretch 'in the big house to accustom one to bald-headed confreres. To be known as a consort of that sort of people should be inducement enough for all right-minded freshmen to shave their heads; it places them in a class by themselves — a Hochkopfgeshavungsgesellschaft let us call it—for they can say to themselves, 'Of course, I don't really belong to this class of folks, but it's fun to have people think I do." And that certainly redounds to the greater glory of dear old Auburn. As a parting word, we wish to urge all long-haired freshmen to cut their hair immediately. Let the sophomores cut theirs. Let the juniors cut theirs. Let the seniors cut theirs. Indeed, let the faculty and townsfolk cut theirs too. And while we are about it, let's bring in the Legislature, the P. T. A. the W. C. T. U., the Share Our Wealthers, the Republican Party, and the combined congregations of the Methodist Church South and shave all their heads. We're for it. Someone has said that political pie is made up of boloney, applesauce, plums, and dough. Student Activities Are student activities worth while? This question is constantly in the thoughts of the undergraduate during the time he is in college, whether he participates in extra- curricula activities or not. Like many other problems, this is one that can be settled by experience alone. We believe that the student who ties himself to his work and who avoids any form of campus activity is losing an opportunity that will never be given again. Student activities call for a wide association with men, and dealing with others in college will help any student to be more successful in after life in associating with his fellows. It is rather interesting to seek the underlying motives which lead students into campus activities. These motives are multitudinous: the desire for honor, a liking for some particular work, the desire for popularity, the love of notoriety, and the will to create, to master, to do something worth while. It is this last motive which impresses us. The greatest joy any man has is in his work well done, and the joy of the creator is the most self-satisfying of all. The student who enters an activity, and who in the end discharges all his duties attendant with the activity is twice blest. He has served his fellows in accomplishing the work which they intrusted to him, and he has satisfied his ego in the thought of work well done, of obstacles overcome, and a work of art created. We are often haunted by songs—those that we have murdered. A Foolish Measure The primary purpose of law is not to prohibit but to regulate. When strictly prohibitive laws are made, there is a reaction which creates a situation far more complicated and undesirable than that which existed before the laws were passed. With this fact in mind, it is easy to see how ineffective and foolish the passage of an anti-sedition bill in Alabama would be. Communism is recognized throughout most of the world as a menace to society but to say that this doctrine should not exist would meet with about as much success as has the 18th amendment. Such a measure as would aim to stamp out communism would but serve to spread and encourage it. ' Experience in European nations has shown us that Communism thrives on oppression. The State can best meet this problem by permitting things to take their natural course. Alabama already has laws which are not aimed at communism but which could be put to effective use in case of any red uprising. Like many other cure-alls invented in times of economic stress, communism will die out as soon as faith and calm are restored. Also, sedition is too broad a term to be incorporated into law. The world broadly covers all talk of discontent with the existing government. To prohibit free discussion of all phases of governmental activity would defeat the cause of democracy, and would involve the State in numerous embarrassing situations. Needed Change With the second semester in it's third week, many students are finding themselves again confronted with a multitude of courses. With the semester still in its infancy, the students are attempting to get an intelligent conception of what is to be their work for the remainder of the year. But how many students loaded down with seven or eight courses will be able to find their way intelligently among all of them? Parallel thoughts differently expressed in like courses bring a muddled idea of what is going on, with the result that on quizzes the student finds himself in a quandary as to what he should say. It so happens that only the definition given him by the professor in the particular course will do. If by chance the student becomes confused on the quiz and defines the terms in the words of another professor, it is just too bad. The definition is useless. For one thing, this is the fault of the duplication of courses which is so prevalent here at Auburn. But this fault is closely tied in with the heavy load the student is required to carry. There are courses in every school which could be successfully combined with others or completely abolished altogether. This would help to cut the student's load. For this and other reasons, it is up to Auburn students to put forth every effort to have the present inefficient semester system changed to the quarter system of school year division. The quarter system with the requirement of only three five-hour courses each quarter would give the student a chance to learn what he is going over, and to go into the business world a more thoroughly educated man. Says the Montgomery Advertiser: Webster may not approve of the word beautifi-cation, but it's a good word, nevertheless, and no other seems to fit when it is needed.

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 he read as an expression of our editorial policy. » * * * \ MIDNIGHT on main street, mist and the gray aftermath of the heaviest rain of the year thus far. Along about one o'clock the main drag is most depressing, quite deserted with only an occasional pair of headlights to break the quiet solitude, the Alabama Power Company sign the only brightness in an otherwise completely obscure landscape. The main clock with a ^not very efficient spotlight casting a phantasmal illumination on the face, the cupola on the Chemistry building a remote outline of white dimness, and the whole campus a jumbled up mass of bulky shapes and shadow. The clock ticking one jarring me back into the cold reality of reading boring textbooks that are nothing but anthologies of what authorities have thought about the subject, a sort of mass stupidity idea. * * * What were once comic strips, taking "comic" in a more or less literal sense, are nothing but serialized cartoons. The day of humor in comic cartoons is gone forever, along with the get-rich-quick spirit of the past couple of decades. Remember when Jiggs, Mutt and Jeff, The Gumps, and Gasoline Alley were the comic strips? Today they all smack of triteness and the newer additions to the funny paper families are Nick Carter done up with pen and ink improvements. Little Orphan Annie, bless her poor misguided soul, philosophizes with Eddie Guest truisms day in and day out—sometimes up and sometimes down but never human. Sidney Smith didn't play fair when he let Bim get married in the Gump strip, for the not very funny situations created by the advent of the De Strosses into the Gump fireside haven't made up for the days of Widow Zander, when Uncle Bim was the most sought after man in all the world. Moon Mullins seems to be the most consistently clever of the present crop of strips, with Joe Palooka and Thimble Theatre (Popeye) probably the most original. Although the Palooka series consists of little but odd accents and the crudities of a ham prize-fighter, the spectacle of a boxer crashing into the higher society circles is rather amusing. Popeye brought to the world some quite original expressions that were funny the first time that the creator used them, and which local wits still think the height of humor. * * * * There must be a lack of humor all along the line, however, for motion picture productions labelled "comedies" fail to be amusing in the least and one sits and wonders how much longer this short will last— a little bit more of these crashing dishes and I'll scream. Tom Kennedy releases are the most typical of the type of thing I mean; somehow Kennedy, although possibly a fair character player, is not my idea of a comedian. Sterling Holloway of all the comedians is probably the most natural, and his antics usually occur without a bombardment of pies to announce that something funny is about to happen. Possibly I'm all wrong to begin with, maybe you do like the old-time comedy, "won't be long now" kind of piece, or maybe the producers have just run out of gags. Harold Lloyd wasn't the box-office success in his latest, "The Catspaw" that he might be and it was one of the weakest of his many movies. Of course there's Joe E. Brown, but a robot with a bucket instead of head would be almost as entertaining as Joe was in "Six-Day Bicycle Rider." And after all, it could be that comedies never amused adults, that kids were the only ones who ever enjoyed them in the first place, and Auburn kids are so sophisticated, what with baffle ball machines, etc. •> * * * * Although it may seem remarkably like fence-straddling as compared with remarks made a week ago in this column, we should like to commend the writer of the answer to "By Stander" in the Wednesday issue of the Plainsman. It represents the first effort to intelligently answer the annual criticism of the "A" Club that campus intellectuals indulge in, and while there was no doubt justification for the condemnation of the initiation staged during the midterms it seems that the blame should be placed upon the candidates1 who had to present a play and took the easiest way out by presenting as dirty play-as possible. . As the other columnists stated in Wednesday's issue, some of the most outstanding men of the school are members of the "A" Club and with him we plead that radicals who think athletics are bad for the school lay off the "A" Club, which after all has and does do much more good than harm on the campus. Although there are several things about any athletic or- ' * AUBURN FOOTPRINTS *:- Since the last issue of The Plainsman a large number of requests for additional song hits from publicity seekers have flooded the office.

LETTERS TO THE EDITOR Auburn, Ala., Feb. 12, 1935. Editor, The Plainsman Dear Sir: In your February 6 issue there appeared the eligibility regulations for publications positions as laid down by our Undergraduate Students' Association constitution. Realizing, of course, that by publishing these rules the Cabinet was only stating the regulations in an effort to clear any doubt in the minds of many students as to just what the requirements are, there also arises a question in my mind as to why so much mystery has seemingly been overshadowing the activities and rulings of the Cabinets. At the first of this year there was published a freshman handbook in which the supposed complete constitution of the Undergraduate Student Association appeared. However, under Article 111, Section 13 of the By-Laws, there does not appear any such regulations as recorded in the minutes of the Cabinet, and as appeared in The Plainsman. This does not necessarily mean that this year's Cabinet is entirely at fault, though it is their place to see that such things should not occur, but also the Cabinets of other years which have added By-Laws and changed regulations without properly recording or making notice of them. This only brings out more clearly the need for revision of the present constitution, with the proper omissions and additions as are deemed necessary at present. The constitution, as it now stands, is about six years old, which does not mean that it should be condemned for old age, rather, the experience with it in past years should be a guide in the revision of the entire system. My object in writing this letter is not ganization that make it very vulnerable to criticism we think that any further comment is entirely unnecessary from either side. * * * * Sauntering up main street . . . it fairly not crowded . . . into Burton's to see new books I might want to read . . . and out again . . .

' Just fiddlin', Nero. Auburn, Ala., Feb. 14, 1935. Editor, The Plainsman Auburn, Ala. Dear Sir, As you have undoubtedly noticed Auburn boisterousness has continued to exert its disconcerting influence on campus life. The Tiger Theatre, chief amusement center of the the city, and basketball games still are frequented by those unversed in any symbol of respect for their fellow man. The management of the theatre has provided one of the most complete plants in the state in an effort to serve the student body. The sound effects are practically unsurpassed, until marred by the nauseating repartee that certain individuals insist in throwing out for the benefit of an unt appreciative audience. There are those who still think they could referee a basketball game better than any official who has served here this year. Any decision going against the home team meets with ready disapproval from this group and they let" their feelings be known through childish booing. Undoubtedly this exerts a harmful influence on both teams and the official. When most of the audience is booing during crucial stages of the game it tends to make a wild scene of the whole affair. To say the least, it doesn't help the team one bit nor does it make the the game more interesting to those who entertain a little respect for their fellows. The exponents of such actions seem to be attempting to nourish something that was mislabeled "Auburn Spirit" sometime in a primitive past. They seem to feel a deep sense of obligation to carry on something that has .been unjustly called an Auburn trait. There are many students in Auburn that do not approve of the .uncouth action of a few. Yours for better behavior of students at public entertainments. Oswald.

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. * * * * ITALY prepared to spend $850,000,000 on Ethiopian war. Thus state the newspapers. Yet Italy is too poor to pay its debt to the U. S.??? * * * * THE DRYS are making a determined effort to stem the repeal tide that seems to be swamping this state. They are making as the base of their defense of our prohibition laws the miseries and evils caused by liquor. This seems entirely beside the point. The evils of intemperance are too well-known to merit further discussion. The advocates of repeal throughout the state make no attempt to make an issue of the advantages or disadvantages of liquor. They too well recognize that liquor has been the cause of widespread misery and crime. Yet has not the period of greatest misery and crime due to liquor been during the prohibition era? It is a change in our present ineffective prohibition laws that is being asked . . . not a return to the wide open saloon. An effective system of liquor control by the state is all that the repealists ask. * * * * ACCORDING to a story appearing in the Montgomery Advertiser, the trustees of Auburn will, on the 22 of February, elect one of four men to the presidency of the Alabama Polytechnic Institute. These four men are Dr. L. N. Duncan, William Fea-gin, Dr. Harmon and Dr. Tidwell. All four of these men are politically prominent throughout the state, and have been for many years. Auburn is presumably an educational institution. * * * * THE ADVERTISER, in commenting editorially on the question of Auburn's next president, States; "Auburn wants money and power." A poll of student opinion would probably convince the Advertiser that what. the students of Auburn desire most is a president who is sufficiently noted and capable as an educator to better the educational facilities of Auburn. And by educational facilities we do not mean merely new buildings, equipment, etc, but in improved faculty, higher scholastic standards, improvements in the curriculum, and in general an intelligent administration of this college from an educational point of view. It seems that the students desires should have some consideration in this matter, since they are the ones most vitally affected. * * * * SOUTHERN COLLEGES have been the subject of much comment recently by writers who have made studies of American colleges. They upbraid us for our shockingly low educational standards, for our over-emphasis of athletics, for our narrowness. One writer went so far as to state that "students in southern colleges are totally oblivious to what is going on about them in the world. They are concerned only with the frivolities of campus life. They rarely ever think." We would like to rush to the defense of our beloved South . . : but we are kept silent by the awful knowledge that these writers are in the main, speaking the truth. * * * * BUGABOO . . . That old bugaboo, "COMMUNISM" seems to be giving the authorities at Georgia and Emory universities some concern. However, at the first threat of an investigation the respective and respected presidents of the two institutions vigorously denied that their faculties were anything but "red-blooded' Americans," although one admitted that there might be some "Reds" among the students. Somehow my professorial ideal is not a man who can be completely summed up by that expression "Red-blooded American." "One of the greatest troubles with the country today is the fact that there are too many educated fools at large, and not enough "men." So says Judge Walter B. Jones in his column "Off The Bench which appears in "The Montgomery Advertiser" "The day will come," he, continues, "When the youth of the land who go to college will be picked and carefully selected." It is Judge Jones' opinion that those entering college, in the near future will be picked for their common sense, open mind-edness, intellectual curiosity, and genuine love for learning. And there must be some reasonable prospect that he will go there, make the best of his opportunities, and when he comes out will be ready to be of some service to his family and to the state." Some' of our hunches turn out to be true -too late for us to take advantage of them. The only way to get rid of a temptation is to yield to it.—Oscar Wilde. Great spenders make poor lenders. SATURDAY, FEB. 16, 1935 T H E A U B U R N PLAINSMAN •:• A L A B A M A POLYTECHNIC INSTITUTE P A G E THREE Pi K.A.

It was an exciting game as had been staged in Alumni Gymnasium this year and the first half found the Plainsmen only a few points behind the Commodores during the entire period. Cleve Brown opened the Auburn offensive with a brilliant field goal from outside the foul circle on the initial play of the game, with Scog-gins of Vanderbilt popping one from almost the center of the court to tie the score temporarily. Eaves tossed an over shoulder shot into the basket, Scoggins duplicating his feat of the minute before in again tying the count. Eaves converted a free throw although Coleman forged the Commodores into the lead a few seconds later with another one handed throw that made the score 6-5. Auburn never caught up after this, pulling up by halftime to a 19-16 margin. During the second half, the offensive guns of Vandy started booming and gradually the Vandy five pulled away to a ten and then a twelve-point lead. Coleman starred in this second half offensive as he hit from angles all around the court in a ten point shooting exhibition. Two members of the 1934 Vanderbilt grid aggregation performed on the hardwood representation last night. Dick Plasman, center, and Red Geny, guard were also regulars on the Commodore eleven and both received considerable recognition in All-Southeastern ballotting. Joel Eaves continued the pace set in former games as he turned in an excellent floor game and led the Tigers in scoring with ten points. Captain Cleve Brown, George Strange, Joe Bob Mitchell and Woodrow Barnes, and C. D. King also turned in general all round excellent performances and are expected to be in Soph Mainstay Hugh Rodgers, guard who has been a mainstay at his position since joining the basketball squad. Rodgers is a sophomore. RAINY WEATHER HAMPERS EARLY GRIDIRON DRILLS M e a g h e r A n d Staff M a k e Seve r a l C h a n g e s In Positions D u r i n g S e c o n d W e e k ' s W o rk The first two weeks of spring training will be brought to a close tomorrow by Head Coach Jack Meagher, conducting his second spring training period at the Plains. Bad weather has hampered drills this week and Coach Meagher has not been able to bring his charges along as fast as he had hoped. Drake Field has been a quagmire since Monday and any really efficient rough work has been out of the question. Several changes in the positions of players have been made by Coach Meagher and his associates in the hope of strengthening several places on the eleven that are short on .likely looking material. Outstanding among the changes has been the shifting of Wesley Loflin who is a big, husky youngster and should develop rapidly at his new position. An adequacy TIGER GROWLS =By OBSERVER; The annual Interfraternity basketball tournament is now in full swing, the first round having begun yesterday with three gam^s being played. The initial round is scheduled for completion tomorrow, and Monday the tourney will go into the second round. Much interest is being manifested in the tournament this year. The event is usually the most exciting and colorful of all the tourneys sponsored by the Interfraternity Council. Everyone is invited to attend these games which are played at the gymnasium. There is no admission charge. * * * * * * Auburn's basketball team has now entered the final stages of its schedule. Although Coach Jordan's charges have not won many games, they have gained much needed experience which will be of great help to them during the next few years. All students are urged to attend the remaining games on the campus, and lend the quintet your moral support. Coach Jordan and the players have worked hard this year.

He scored his ace shot on the No. 2 hole, a distance of 155 yards. He was a member of a foursome which included Linwood Funch-ess, Prof. Williamson, and Prof. May-ton. Woodall contends that the perfect shot was an accident, but we are inclined to disagree with him and give him full credit for taking perfect aim at the hole. * * * Some interesting facts about Auburn's basketeers: There are four three-sport athletes on the squad. They are Joel Eaves, Joe Bob Mitchell, Hugh Rodgers and Bobby Blake. All three play football and basketball, while Mitchell is a star pitcher on the diamond and Rodgers and Blake perform on the track outfit.. There are six players on the squad who stand over the six foot mark. These include George Strange, and Hugh Rodgers, guards, Mitchell and Clark, centers, and C. D. King, and Eaves, forwards. King and Mitchell are both six feet, four inches tall. Kyle Wood, sophomore forward from Wetumpka, and brother of Commodore Wood, former Auburn football star, is the shortest member of the squad. He is five feet, eight inches in height. Beard Will Compete In N Y. Track Meets C i v i l I n s t r u c t o r L e a v e s For Ind o o r C o m p e t i o n In N e w Y o rk F o l l o w i n g Melrose Success of good tackles was one reason for the change, together with the fact that only two lettermen are returning as guard material, and neither of these had any great amount of experience in the fall campaign. Huie showed promise as a halfback but there is a superabundance of halves and Huie will add needed speed to the guards. In the backfield, Joe Stewart has been changed from halfback to quarterback in the hope of finding a superior field general. Sidney Scarborough and Aubrey Hill, the letter-men back from last year that are available, while both satisfactory are not versatile enough to fill all the attributes of a good signal-caller. Stewart was a quarterback his freshman year so his change is not of such a radical nature. Bunky O'Rourke, a brilliant halfback as a freshman in '32 has been added to the roster of fullbacks as that position is definitely short on fast, dependable material. O'Rourke can turn in as good performance as a ball-carrier as anyone on the squad and should materially add to the line-plunging department. Harry Whit-ten, an ex-fullback, has never quite come through at that post, and Skipper Meagher has changed him to right half, the blocking back. Whit-ten is big and fast but has always been considerably held back on account of leg injuries. He should be an asset to the halfback corps. The football outfit will be strengthened next week by the addition of six members of the hardwood squad to the roster of gridiron hopefuls. Bobbie Blake and Joe Bob Mitchell, half-backs; George Strange and Joel Eaves, ends; Hugh Rodgers, tackle, and Sam McCroskey guard are the court artists who will report to Coach Meagher Monday in football togs. All except Strange were letter- winners in football, and Strange came along rapidly toward the end of the season and is expected to be a valuable member of the wingmen reporting for duty both now and next fall. LOST: Rhinestone evening bag at Pan-Hellenic dance last Saturday night. Finder please return to Sarah Hooper. Successful in both his heats and in the finals at the Millrose games in New York, Feb. 2, Percy Beard, instructor in civil engineering at Alabama Polytechnic Institute, his alma mater, left here Thursday morning on the Crescent Limited for New York seeking additional honors in indoor meets in the East. Beard left Auburn this morning to enter the New York Athletic Club games at Madison Square Garden, Saturday night, and the National A. A. U. meet at the same place, Saturday week. Beard, who might retire from indoor competition after these two races, flashed ahead of a swift field to carry off ranking medals at the Millrose games, his first indoor meet this season, and he is being counted on to win honors at the N. Y. U. games and at the N. A. A. U. carnival. Holder of all recognized world marks in the high hurdle events, Beard, a member of Uncle Sam's 1932 Olympic team and Auburn's track ace of all time, is one of the most popular athletes ever to run in New York and receives an ovation each time his name is called out for a race. He is so much of a favorite in New York that so many autograph seekers and shoulder slappers seek him after his peerless races that it generally requires police protection to escort him to his dressing quarters.

Boasting a season's record of eight wins and three losses, the Fowler-coached quintet should make a season's average of .750 after tonight's encounter .Waverly was swamped early in the season by the locals and although the Chambers County five has probably improved some since that time, the Auburn quintet should add another victim to its list. Lanett High, Hurtsboro High and Tallassee are the only teams to register wins over Auburn and the latter two won by two-point, margins. Tallassee defeated the locals 18-16 Tuesday night in a game that found the Auburn team dead the first half, but playing a somewhat improved game the last half. The same team that has performed together in the last several contests will take the floor. Junior (Continued on page 4) DUKE UNIVERSITY SCHOOL OF MEDICINE DURHAM. N. C.

ALSO, NEW LINE SPORT OXFORDS G IBSON' MEN'S WEAR s Two favorite teams in the Interfraternity Council Basketball Tourney, Pi Kappa Alpha and Alpha Tau Omega, made their debut yesterday in first-round encounters that are but fair indications of the strength of the relative fraternity representations Pi Kappa Alpha met surprisingly stubborn resistance from vtlpha Psi in winning 15-8 last night in a game considerably closer than the score would indicate At half time only four points had been registered by each team in a game fraught with discounted scoring opportunities and wild passes. Coming back into the second period, Alpha Psi's center, Powell counted a free throw and Berry sent one swishing through the basket to give a three point lead to the Vets. Jimmy Fenton knotted the count a few minutes later as he also connected on a free shot, and sank a long-range attempt from outside the foul circle. Dopey Wright added two more to the Pi K. A. total with a brace of converted fouls and Fenton ran the total to 11 with another field goal. Wright hit his first field goal to run the count to 13-7 where Ma-loney of Alpha Psi broke even one-one on a hacking award. Fenton made the final score of the game as he successfully negotiated a "crip" to make the final result, 15-8. It took Pi Kappa Alpha considerable time to get started last night and on the whole the quintet lack coordination. Shooting was considerably off, many crips as well as clear longer tries being muffed. In the later stages of the contest, the offense got to clicking, however, and with some more practice, the Pi K. A. outfit should still be one of the strong teams of the tourney; they won the crown last year, but Joe Bob Mitchell, George Strange and Sam McCroskey are absent from the line-up. Alpha Tau Omega, semi-finalist, last year, demonstrated a shooting efficiency in annexing 42-3 decision from Sigma Phi Sigma in a one sided game that found Flake Farley hitting the baskets for 24 markers and the A. T. O. offense clicking generally. If any weakness was observable yesterday it was a tendency trf pass high and sometimes wide, but the offensive set-up insofar as deceptive plays are concerned is undoubtedly one of the best in the tourney. Schley Gordy and F. H. Richter also counted for ten and six points respectively in yesterday's scoring spree. Bill Sellers rounded out the A. T. O. scoring with . one field goal. Winston Boyles counted for the Sigma Phi Sigma field goal and Pearce Jackson for the free throw. Build For Your Future Perhaps Life Insurance should properly be called "Living Insurance."

UNIT TIGERS MEET SEWANEE IN FINAL GAMES ON 1935 CAGE SCHEDULE (Continued from Page 1) in a number of games they have turned in good performances that rank them on a par with the Conference leaders. If the Plainsmen can continue the pace set against Vanderbilt last night, victories over Sewanee are not improbable. The Auburn quintet demonstrated their best form of the season last night and with a little more accuracy from the shooting standpoint would have made an interesting game much more so. Joel Eaves led the Auburn offensive with ten points and turned in one of the best floor exhibitions seen in Alumni Gym this year. Joe Bob Mitchell, who started at center, handled the ball exceptionally well and got the tip his share of the time from Dick Plasman, rangy Vandy center, although missing shots rather regularly. Woodrow Strange, who has crashed into the first-string, line-up the past two weeks, has come along rapidly in basketball togs and seems destined to become a guard of outstanding capabilities before his college career is closed. Captain Cleve Brown, a stalwart on the first team for two years, opened up the Auburn offensive last night and played an inspired game against the heavy Vanderbilt five. Brown was in there scrapping from the opening whistle on through and deserves much credit for his indomni-table performance in leading the Auburn basketeers. His place at guard will be a hard one to fill after tomorrow night. Two other seniors write finis to college basketball careers in the series with Sewanee. George Quinney, forward, and Frank Sindler, forward and guard, are the other members who graduate in May along with Brown. Both, have been valuable members of the basketball squad for thee seasons and leave big gaps in the ranks of the Tigers. Preliminary encounters will be played by the frosh five before both games.

HAY GIVES BOOK REVIEW AT MEET OF LOCAL GROUP Rotarians Are Entertained On Thursday By R e v i ew Of "Au tobiography of Paul Harris' A review of the book, "Autobiography of Paul Harris," was presented yesterday at a meeting of the Rotary Club by Rev. Samuel Hay. Paul Harris was founder of the Rotary Internationale. In his review Rev. Hay discussed some of the experiences in the life of Paul Harris that caused him to form the Rotary Internationale. Harris was born in Wisconsin of a large family, but because of adversity and family hardships, Harris was brought up by his grandparents in Vermont. After several years attendance at a number of schools, Paul Harris traveled the world for five years. In 1896 he settled in Chicago for the practice of law. The low ethical standards of Chicago in this decade, together with the experiences gained in travel abroad, led him to conceive Rotary in 1900, although the first meeting wasn't held until five years later. Because of contacts-made by Harris in his travels, the reception of Rotary principles by one country after another soon made Rotary an international organization. By order of Major Franke. The order for the above changes was issued by Major Franke, signed by J. V. Phelps, 1st Lt., F. A., Adjutant, and approved for the Administrative Committee by Dr. Jno. J. Wil-more, chairman. AUBURN HIGH TO INVADE WAVERLY FRIDAY FOR GAME (Continued from page 3) Whatley and John Ham at forwards; Philip Smith at center; and Hugh Wright and Rojf Powell at guards are likely choices to continue as the first-string. Harry Bush, an elongated youngster who covers the floor exceptionally well and is a fair shot, is also slated for duty, as is Dan Friel, Powell's understudy at one guard. Preparations by Coach Fowler at present are pointing toward the district tournament, to be held in the near future. On the basis of its impressive record to date the local quintet looms as one of the seeded teams of the section, and unless it "blows up" in an early-round contest stands a good chance of going to the semifinals of this half of the district. Lanett, probably the section's strongest quintet, defeated the Auburn team 14 points in the latter's third test of the season in giving the locals their worst defeat of the campaign so far.

Pay $40 week or more. Prefer student with retail sales experience. See Mr. Johnson between 2 and 6 P. M. Saturday, February 16th, only, at the Jones Hotel. (Continued from Page 1) will be given as parts of five conferences he has given at the Infantry School at Fort Benning. Several Auburn students who heard the talk were very complimentary concerning it. This is Col. Dawley's first year at Fort Benning, and already he has gained a reputation as an excellent speaker. He has obtained an enviable record in the army and is considered to be an authority on many military topics. An address on Mexico was made by Prof. Y. A. Elizondo at the meeting of the Auburn Business and Professional Women's Club which met Monday evening at the home of Mrs. Alma Whatley. . Professor Elizondo said, in effect, that relations between this country and Mexico will always be harmonious if "the human element", which is common to all peoples, is thoroughly understood by representatives of the two countries. "Both countries are full of ineffective laws and many other undesirable things, but in appproaching international relations we must not forget the human element. Tolerance in one country will be met by tolerance in the other. . . . We must keep in mind always that the same principles of justice should predominate in both countries." In contrasting the sports of the American and Mexican people he said that we like football because we understand it and that Mexicans like bullfighting for the same reason. Whereas Americans thoroughly understand the game of football, with an accurate knowledge of the rules and acquaintance with the best players, the Mexicans likewise have developed a similar interest in bullfighting. Program for the meeting of international relations was arranged by Mrs. Whatley, chairman of this phase of the club's work. A report of the district meeting in Birmingham was made by Miss Mary E. Martin, state chairman of legislation. Flowers For All Occasions m King's Nursery - Phone 695-J Opelika, Alabama | . Patronize Plainsman Advertisers.

The tobacco raised in Virginia and exchanged for goods helped the struggling colonists to get a foothold when they came to America. Later on, it was tobacco that helped to clothe and feed Washington's brave army at Valley Forge. Today it is tobacco that helps—more than any other commodity raised in this country—to pay the expense of running our Government. In the fiscal year 1933-34 the Federal Government collected H25,000&00 from the tax on tobacco. Most of this came from cigarettes — six cents tax on every package of twenty. Yes, the cigarette helps a lot—and it certainly gives men and women a lot of pleasure. Smokers have several reasons for liking Chesterfields. For one thing, Chesterfields are milder. For another thing, they taste better. They Satisfy. © 193}, LIGCSTT & Mm* TOBACCO CO.

OCR Transcript | Semi-Weekly Plainsman Saturday Issue ®h£ Anbnvtx plainsman See Basketball Game Tonight TO FOSTER THE A U B U R N S P I R IT VOLUME LVIII AUBURN, ALABAMA, SATURDAY, FEB. 16, 1935 NUMBER 34 BUSINESS FRAT ELECTS TWELVE TUESDAY NIGHT Seniors, Juniors, And Sophomores Are Chosen To Membership In Delta Sigma Pi PLEDGES WILL MEET Local Chapter Of Society Has Gained In International Efficiency Contest Says Crow In Last Game For Auburn Saturday Twelve students from the sophomore, junior, and senior classes of the school of business administration were elected to Delta Sigma Pi, international honorary business and professional fraternity, here Tuesday night. Those tapped are: seniors—G. G. McGowin, McKenzie; B. M. Prince, Opelika; J. R. Howell, Dothan; juniors— M. B. York, Monroeville; Eugene Tomlinson, Lexington; sophomores— J. W. Rainer, Union Springs; J. A. Clopton, Decatur; J. E. Dunning, Thomasville; R. B. McGee, Auburn; J. L. Stewart, Greenville; H. D. Williams, Andalusia; N. Latimer, Geneva. The first pledge meeting of the newly elected men is called for tonight at 7 o'clock in the "L" building. In order to be elected to this fraternity a student must have averaged above 80 and have shown peculiar interests in business or professional subjects. "The purpose of the fraternity," according to W. C. Crow, faculty adviser, "is to band together the outstanding business or professional students of the various classes to learn more about the conditions about us." Delta Sigma Pi is international in that its fifty-two chapters are located throughout this country, Canada, and Mexico. The recently published fraternity directory shows that since the founding of the organization at N. Y. U. in 1908, 9800 members have been initiated. These members are now located in every state of the union, every province of Canada, and in 28 foreign countries. The most recent check up in the organization's international efficiency contest shows that the local Beta Lambda chapter has climbed from 22nd place to tie with Alpha Epsi-lon chapter of Minnesota for 14th place. Officers of the fraternity for this year are: Miller Pitts, president; Jack Shaw, secretary; and Johnny Orr, treasurer. The chapter roll now totals 28, including the twelve new men. Three seniors: Cleve Brown, Frank Sindler, and George Quinney will play their final games on the court for Auburn in Alumni Gymnasium tomorrow night when the Tigers engage Sewanee. Coach Ralph Jordan, basketball mentor, is shown with the group of seniors. Tigers Ring Down Curtain On Current Hardwood Program With Two Game Series Against Sewanee Tigers In Local Gym; Auburn Out For Victories DAWLEY TO SPEAK IN LANGDON HALL ON MONDAY NIGHT Fort Benning Officer Will Address Large Crowd Of R.O. T.C. Cadets On Artillery Profit Made Here On F. D. R. Birthday Ball Of the total receipts from the President's Ball given here Jan. 30, a sum of $154 remains as net profit, of which $108 will be used for local relief of infantile paralysis, accord-ing to C. W. Edwards, chairman of the program committee. The remaining $46 will be sent to the national committee on infantile paralysis research. A total of 143 people in Auburn paid twenty-five cents to have their names put in a birthday greeting telegram to the president. Of the $35 raised in this ymanner, $25 will be returned to be used by the city for the treatment of those afflicted with infantile paralysis in this vicinity. At a meeting of the Inter-Club Council Monday night it was decided that the proceeds from the Auburn affair would be expended through the Alabama Association for Crippled Children. Dr. Paul Irvine, president of the Kiwanis Club and a director in the association, will be in charge of spending the money for this district. It is expected by the Inter-Club Council that the money raised in Auburn will be sufficient to rehabilitate three children afflicted with infantile paralysis who live in the vicinity of Auburn. Lieut. Col. E. J. Dawley, instructor at the Infantry School at Fort Benning, will lecture here Monday evening at 7:30 o'clock in Langdon Hall. Col. Dawley is the third Benning officer to be brought to Auburn this year under the auspices of the Officers Reserve Corp to lecture on interesting subjects pertaining to military science. It is expected that Col. Dawley's talk will be of great interest to all Reserve officers and advance corps students as it will deal entirely with the Field Artillery in regard to its organization, employment, team work with the Infantry, and methods of communication. Col. Dawley will first discuss the origin of the Artillery and will follow this by a description of the principles of employment used by this division. This includes formation for march and places in march column or clumns; employment with security detachments; and the positions and missions employed during either an attack or defence. His talk here on Monday evening (Continued on page 4) • Feature Writer Here For Educational Study Mr. Ben James, special feature writer for a leading magazine of the Crowell Publishing Company, was in Auburn for three days this week to study the layout and plan of the School of Education here. At the present time Mr. James is in search of material for a special article on teacher training. From the Teachers College at Columbia University he was directed to Auburn for material on the training of high school teachers, for which Auburn is considered one of the best schools in the South. Arriving in Auburn Monday morning, Mr. James spent most of the day in conference with Dean Zebulon of the education department. That evening he was in conference with several members of the education faculty, and the following day he made a special study of the plan of practice teaching at the Lee County High School. He left Auburn Wednesday afternoon. ' Large Crowd Expected To Witness Tiger Five In Closing Games This Weekend The Auburn varsity rings down the curtain on the 1935 basketball campaign tonight and tomorrow night as the Purple Tigers from Sewanee invade the Plains for a pair of contests. The Jordan-coached- outfit will be making their last stand as the Tiger from the hills of Tennessee clashes with the Tiger from the Plains in what promises to be a stand-out court offering. f It is not the first time this season that the two teams have met. On the Plainsmen's first road jaunt of the year the Purple Bengal repulsed the Auburn contingent 19-18 in an exciting engagement on the Sewanee battle ground and the Orange and Blue forces will be seeking to avenge this one-point defeat, as well as raise their standing in the Southeastern Conference rankings, which are just about to reach their final set-up. Auburn has had an off and on season, at times making brilliant forays into the enemy territory, but on the whole being comparatively unsucces-ful. Three one-point losses have been recorded against the Auburn five and (Continued on Page 4) Hall And Thornhill To Debate On Tour MILITARY ORDERS CHANGE RANKINGS IN R. 0. T.

The Auburn rifle team is exhibiting very high marksmanship and promises to be a formidable contestant for the National Championship this year. Auburn won the National Championship last year but was disqualified because of a technicality. The official high score for 1934 was 961. The Fourth Corps Area Gallery Rifle Competition is well under way. In last week's 15-10 match, Auburn scored 3700, New Mexico Military Institute—3545, Rose Polytechnic Institute— 3359, scores of New Mexico A. and M., and Michigan State College have not been received yet.

A prone-sitting 15-10 match is being held this week between the contesting teams of Iowa State College, Washington University, Carnegie Institute of Technology, University of South Dakota, University of Iowa, University of Nevada, and North Carolina State. In the most recent 15-10 match here, the scoring was: Rich, 385; Wilkes, 354; Toshee, 343; Edwards, (Continued on page 4) The annual Military Ball will be staged here on Friday night, March 15, according to a recent announcement by Frank Ellis, president of the local company of Scabbard and Blade. All arrangements for the affair will be made by seven committees, which have already been appointed. The executive committee, which will exercise general supervision in arranging details of the dance, is headed by Ellis. Other members of the group are: Bill Hughes, H. T. Martin, Howard Morris, Billy Roberts, and Lieut. J. V. Phelps. Other committees and their respective chairmen are: invitation and reception, Jack Coan; finance, Wallace Nelson; publicity, Fred Moss; decorations, Bob Klein; music, Arthur Ellenburg, and refreshments, Bill Collins. A total of fifty three students and officers will serve on these several committees. Cadet Colonel Bill Hughes will escort the girl who will be selected by the executive committee to lead the ball. According to Frank Ellis, financial arrangements for the dance have already been made. He stated that fifty cents of the allowance each senior had for the past summer camp remains in a fund which will be used to help defray expenses of the affair. The total amount in this fund is about seventy dollars. Additional money necessary for the dance will be taken from the clothing allowance of each^enior cadet. Approximately sixty-five or seventy cents from each allowance will be used. The Auburn unit, Company "L," of Scabbard and Blade will entertain members and their dates at a banquet at six thirty on the night of the ball. Arrangements are being made to make this one of the most outstanding of such events to be staged on the campus this semester. Meetings of the various committees will be called by their respective chairmen in the near future and full details of celebration will be made.

Lets All Join The Plainsman wishes to congratulate at this time the courageous attitude shown' by several members of the Freshman Class who are seeking to revivify an old custom that is distinctly Auburnese, the shaving of heads. The abolishing of this quaint old' custom by President Knapp on an eventful occasion in 1932 did untold damage to all that Auburn had come to know as traditional; it is indeed unfortunate that since that time the students have given the appearance of being civilized human beings. That alumni of the Peeled Head Era have not taken steps to remedy matters seems, to say the least, a bit disloyal. Too, it has been our observation that the conduct of Auburn students on football trips in recent years has seemed somewhat out of character since there were no skinned heads to indicate that such conduct was to be expected. After all, if Auburn students are going to be barbarous, they should at least look like barbarians. If they fail to observe this little nicety much of the picturesqueness of being an ass is lost. We may mention also that the appearance in class rooms of a round of bald heads has in the past inspired professors to all sorts of academic feats. It makes them feel like wardens in a penitentiary. But that is only just, for they treat the students like criminals anyway. It is well perhaps to mention at this juncture the unusual distinction among Southern colleges given Auburn by the natty appearance of her bald freshmen; in the past an Auburn freshman away from headquarters was immediately recognized as such. Of course the better class of people generally shunned him. But that was only proper too, for in every football city there was • usually a swarm of gamblers, bootleggers and hijackers who were willing enough to associate with him, since it takes only one stretch 'in the big house to accustom one to bald-headed confreres. To be known as a consort of that sort of people should be inducement enough for all right-minded freshmen to shave their heads; it places them in a class by themselves — a Hochkopfgeshavungsgesellschaft let us call it—for they can say to themselves, 'Of course, I don't really belong to this class of folks, but it's fun to have people think I do." And that certainly redounds to the greater glory of dear old Auburn. As a parting word, we wish to urge all long-haired freshmen to cut their hair immediately. Let the sophomores cut theirs. Let the juniors cut theirs. Let the seniors cut theirs. Indeed, let the faculty and townsfolk cut theirs too. And while we are about it, let's bring in the Legislature, the P. T. A. the W. C. T. U., the Share Our Wealthers, the Republican Party, and the combined congregations of the Methodist Church South and shave all their heads. We're for it. Someone has said that political pie is made up of boloney, applesauce, plums, and dough. Student Activities Are student activities worth while? This question is constantly in the thoughts of the undergraduate during the time he is in college, whether he participates in extra- curricula activities or not. Like many other problems, this is one that can be settled by experience alone. We believe that the student who ties himself to his work and who avoids any form of campus activity is losing an opportunity that will never be given again. Student activities call for a wide association with men, and dealing with others in college will help any student to be more successful in after life in associating with his fellows. It is rather interesting to seek the underlying motives which lead students into campus activities. These motives are multitudinous: the desire for honor, a liking for some particular work, the desire for popularity, the love of notoriety, and the will to create, to master, to do something worth while. It is this last motive which impresses us. The greatest joy any man has is in his work well done, and the joy of the creator is the most self-satisfying of all. The student who enters an activity, and who in the end discharges all his duties attendant with the activity is twice blest. He has served his fellows in accomplishing the work which they intrusted to him, and he has satisfied his ego in the thought of work well done, of obstacles overcome, and a work of art created. We are often haunted by songs—those that we have murdered. A Foolish Measure The primary purpose of law is not to prohibit but to regulate. When strictly prohibitive laws are made, there is a reaction which creates a situation far more complicated and undesirable than that which existed before the laws were passed. With this fact in mind, it is easy to see how ineffective and foolish the passage of an anti-sedition bill in Alabama would be. Communism is recognized throughout most of the world as a menace to society but to say that this doctrine should not exist would meet with about as much success as has the 18th amendment. Such a measure as would aim to stamp out communism would but serve to spread and encourage it. ' Experience in European nations has shown us that Communism thrives on oppression. The State can best meet this problem by permitting things to take their natural course. Alabama already has laws which are not aimed at communism but which could be put to effective use in case of any red uprising. Like many other cure-alls invented in times of economic stress, communism will die out as soon as faith and calm are restored. Also, sedition is too broad a term to be incorporated into law. The world broadly covers all talk of discontent with the existing government. To prohibit free discussion of all phases of governmental activity would defeat the cause of democracy, and would involve the State in numerous embarrassing situations. Needed Change With the second semester in it's third week, many students are finding themselves again confronted with a multitude of courses. With the semester still in its infancy, the students are attempting to get an intelligent conception of what is to be their work for the remainder of the year. But how many students loaded down with seven or eight courses will be able to find their way intelligently among all of them? Parallel thoughts differently expressed in like courses bring a muddled idea of what is going on, with the result that on quizzes the student finds himself in a quandary as to what he should say. It so happens that only the definition given him by the professor in the particular course will do. If by chance the student becomes confused on the quiz and defines the terms in the words of another professor, it is just too bad. The definition is useless. For one thing, this is the fault of the duplication of courses which is so prevalent here at Auburn. But this fault is closely tied in with the heavy load the student is required to carry. There are courses in every school which could be successfully combined with others or completely abolished altogether. This would help to cut the student's load. For this and other reasons, it is up to Auburn students to put forth every effort to have the present inefficient semester system changed to the quarter system of school year division. The quarter system with the requirement of only three five-hour courses each quarter would give the student a chance to learn what he is going over, and to go into the business world a more thoroughly educated man.

It is a column of personal comment, and is not to he read as an expression of our editorial policy. » * * * \ MIDNIGHT on main street, mist and the gray aftermath of the heaviest rain of the year thus far. Along about one o'clock the main drag is most depressing, quite deserted with only an occasional pair of headlights to break the quiet solitude, the Alabama Power Company sign the only brightness in an otherwise completely obscure landscape. The main clock with a ^not very efficient spotlight casting a phantasmal illumination on the face, the cupola on the Chemistry building a remote outline of white dimness, and the whole campus a jumbled up mass of bulky shapes and shadow. The clock ticking one jarring me back into the cold reality of reading boring textbooks that are nothing but anthologies of what authorities have thought about the subject, a sort of mass stupidity idea. * * * What were once comic strips, taking "comic" in a more or less literal sense, are nothing but serialized cartoons. The day of humor in comic cartoons is gone forever, along with the get-rich-quick spirit of the past couple of decades. Remember when Jiggs, Mutt and Jeff, The Gumps, and Gasoline Alley were the comic strips? Today they all smack of triteness and the newer additions to the funny paper families are Nick Carter done up with pen and ink improvements. Little Orphan Annie, bless her poor misguided soul, philosophizes with Eddie Guest truisms day in and day out—sometimes up and sometimes down but never human. Sidney Smith didn't play fair when he let Bim get married in the Gump strip, for the not very funny situations created by the advent of the De Strosses into the Gump fireside haven't made up for the days of Widow Zander, when Uncle Bim was the most sought after man in all the world. Moon Mullins seems to be the most consistently clever of the present crop of strips, with Joe Palooka and Thimble Theatre (Popeye) probably the most original. Although the Palooka series consists of little but odd accents and the crudities of a ham prize-fighter, the spectacle of a boxer crashing into the higher society circles is rather amusing. Popeye brought to the world some quite original expressions that were funny the first time that the creator used them, and which local wits still think the height of humor. * * * * There must be a lack of humor all along the line, however, for motion picture productions labelled "comedies" fail to be amusing in the least and one sits and wonders how much longer this short will last— a little bit more of these crashing dishes and I'll scream. Tom Kennedy releases are the most typical of the type of thing I mean; somehow Kennedy, although possibly a fair character player, is not my idea of a comedian. Sterling Holloway of all the comedians is probably the most natural, and his antics usually occur without a bombardment of pies to announce that something funny is about to happen. Possibly I'm all wrong to begin with, maybe you do like the old-time comedy, "won't be long now" kind of piece, or maybe the producers have just run out of gags. Harold Lloyd wasn't the box-office success in his latest, "The Catspaw" that he might be and it was one of the weakest of his many movies. Of course there's Joe E. Brown, but a robot with a bucket instead of head would be almost as entertaining as Joe was in "Six-Day Bicycle Rider." And after all, it could be that comedies never amused adults, that kids were the only ones who ever enjoyed them in the first place, and Auburn kids are so sophisticated, what with baffle ball machines, etc. •> * * * * Although it may seem remarkably like fence-straddling as compared with remarks made a week ago in this column, we should like to commend the writer of the answer to "By Stander" in the Wednesday issue of the Plainsman. It represents the first effort to intelligently answer the annual criticism of the "A" Club that campus intellectuals indulge in, and while there was no doubt justification for the condemnation of the initiation staged during the midterms it seems that the blame should be placed upon the candidates1 who had to present a play and took the easiest way out by presenting as dirty play-as possible. . As the other columnists stated in Wednesday's issue, some of the most outstanding men of the school are members of the "A" Club and with him we plead that radicals who think athletics are bad for the school lay off the "A" Club, which after all has and does do much more good than harm on the campus.

LETTERS TO THE EDITOR Auburn, Ala., Feb. 12, 1935. Editor, The Plainsman Dear Sir: In your February 6 issue there appeared the eligibility regulations for publications positions as laid down by our Undergraduate Students' Association constitution. Realizing, of course, that by publishing these rules the Cabinet was only stating the regulations in an effort to clear any doubt in the minds of many students as to just what the requirements are, there also arises a question in my mind as to why so much mystery has seemingly been overshadowing the activities and rulings of the Cabinets. At the first of this year there was published a freshman handbook in which the supposed complete constitution of the Undergraduate Student Association appeared. However, under Article 111, Section 13 of the By-Laws, there does not appear any such regulations as recorded in the minutes of the Cabinet, and as appeared in The Plainsman. This does not necessarily mean that this year's Cabinet is entirely at fault, though it is their place to see that such things should not occur, but also the Cabinets of other years which have added By-Laws and changed regulations without properly recording or making notice of them. This only brings out more clearly the need for revision of the present constitution, with the proper omissions and additions as are deemed necessary at present. The constitution, as it now stands, is about six years old, which does not mean that it should be condemned for old age, rather, the experience with it in past years should be a guide in the revision of the entire system. My object in writing this letter is not ganization that make it very vulnerable to criticism we think that any further comment is entirely unnecessary from either side. * * * * Sauntering up main street . . . it fairly not crowded . . . into Burton's to see new books I might want to read . . . and out again . . .

' Just fiddlin', Nero. Auburn, Ala., Feb. 14, 1935. Editor, The Plainsman Auburn, Ala. Dear Sir, As you have undoubtedly noticed Auburn boisterousness has continued to exert its disconcerting influence on campus life. The Tiger Theatre, chief amusement center of the the city, and basketball games still are frequented by those unversed in any symbol of respect for their fellow man. The management of the theatre has provided one of the most complete plants in the state in an effort to serve the student body. The sound effects are practically unsurpassed, until marred by the nauseating repartee that certain individuals insist in throwing out for the benefit of an unt appreciative audience. There are those who still think they could referee a basketball game better than any official who has served here this year. Any decision going against the home team meets with ready disapproval from this group and they let" their feelings be known through childish booing. Undoubtedly this exerts a harmful influence on both teams and the official. When most of the audience is booing during crucial stages of the game it tends to make a wild scene of the whole affair. To say the least, it doesn't help the team one bit nor does it make the the game more interesting to those who entertain a little respect for their fellows. The exponents of such actions seem to be attempting to nourish something that was mislabeled "Auburn Spirit" sometime in a primitive past. They seem to feel a deep sense of obligation to carry on something that has .been unjustly called an Auburn trait. There are many students in Auburn that do not approve of the .uncouth action of a few. Yours for better behavior of students at public entertainments. Oswald.

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. * * * * ITALY prepared to spend $850,000,000 on Ethiopian war. Thus state the newspapers. Yet Italy is too poor to pay its debt to the U. S.??? * * * * THE DRYS are making a determined effort to stem the repeal tide that seems to be swamping this state. They are making as the base of their defense of our prohibition laws the miseries and evils caused by liquor. This seems entirely beside the point. The evils of intemperance are too well-known to merit further discussion. The advocates of repeal throughout the state make no attempt to make an issue of the advantages or disadvantages of liquor. They too well recognize that liquor has been the cause of widespread misery and crime. Yet has not the period of greatest misery and crime due to liquor been during the prohibition era? It is a change in our present ineffective prohibition laws that is being asked . . . not a return to the wide open saloon. An effective system of liquor control by the state is all that the repealists ask. * * * * ACCORDING to a story appearing in the Montgomery Advertiser, the trustees of Auburn will, on the 22 of February, elect one of four men to the presidency of the Alabama Polytechnic Institute. These four men are Dr. L. N. Duncan, William Fea-gin, Dr. Harmon and Dr. Tidwell. All four of these men are politically prominent throughout the state, and have been for many years. Auburn is presumably an educational institution. * * * * THE ADVERTISER, in commenting editorially on the question of Auburn's next president, States; "Auburn wants money and power." A poll of student opinion would probably convince the Advertiser that what. the students of Auburn desire most is a president who is sufficiently noted and capable as an educator to better the educational facilities of Auburn. And by educational facilities we do not mean merely new buildings, equipment, etc, but in improved faculty, higher scholastic standards, improvements in the curriculum, and in general an intelligent administration of this college from an educational point of view. It seems that the students desires should have some consideration in this matter, since they are the ones most vitally affected. * * * * SOUTHERN COLLEGES have been the subject of much comment recently by writers who have made studies of American colleges. They upbraid us for our shockingly low educational standards, for our over-emphasis of athletics, for our narrowness. One writer went so far as to state that "students in southern colleges are totally oblivious to what is going on about them in the world. They are concerned only with the frivolities of campus life. They rarely ever think." We would like to rush to the defense of our beloved South . . : but we are kept silent by the awful knowledge that these writers are in the main, speaking the truth. * * * * BUGABOO . . . That old bugaboo, "COMMUNISM" seems to be giving the authorities at Georgia and Emory universities some concern. However, at the first threat of an investigation the respective and respected presidents of the two institutions vigorously denied that their faculties were anything but "red-blooded' Americans," although one admitted that there might be some "Reds" among the students. Somehow my professorial ideal is not a man who can be completely summed up by that expression "Red-blooded American." "One of the greatest troubles with the country today is the fact that there are too many educated fools at large, and not enough "men." So says Judge Walter B. Jones in his column "Off The Bench which appears in "The Montgomery Advertiser" "The day will come," he, continues, "When the youth of the land who go to college will be picked and carefully selected." It is Judge Jones' opinion that those entering college, in the near future will be picked for their common sense, open mind-edness, intellectual curiosity, and genuine love for learning. And there must be some reasonable prospect that he will go there, make the best of his opportunities, and when he comes out will be ready to be of some service to his family and to the state." Some' of our hunches turn out to be true -too late for us to take advantage of them. The only way to get rid of a temptation is to yield to it.—Oscar Wilde. Great spenders make poor lenders. SATURDAY, FEB. 16, 1935 T H E A U B U R N PLAINSMAN •:• A L A B A M A POLYTECHNIC INSTITUTE P A G E THREE Pi K.A.

It was an exciting game as had been staged in Alumni Gymnasium this year and the first half found the Plainsmen only a few points behind the Commodores during the entire period. Cleve Brown opened the Auburn offensive with a brilliant field goal from outside the foul circle on the initial play of the game, with Scog-gins of Vanderbilt popping one from almost the center of the court to tie the score temporarily. Eaves tossed an over shoulder shot into the basket, Scoggins duplicating his feat of the minute before in again tying the count. Eaves converted a free throw although Coleman forged the Commodores into the lead a few seconds later with another one handed throw that made the score 6-5. Auburn never caught up after this, pulling up by halftime to a 19-16 margin. During the second half, the offensive guns of Vandy started booming and gradually the Vandy five pulled away to a ten and then a twelve-point lead. Coleman starred in this second half offensive as he hit from angles all around the court in a ten point shooting exhibition. Two members of the 1934 Vanderbilt grid aggregation performed on the hardwood representation last night. Dick Plasman, center, and Red Geny, guard were also regulars on the Commodore eleven and both received considerable recognition in All-Southeastern ballotting. Joel Eaves continued the pace set in former games as he turned in an excellent floor game and led the Tigers in scoring with ten points. Captain Cleve Brown, George Strange, Joe Bob Mitchell and Woodrow Barnes, and C. D. King also turned in general all round excellent performances and are expected to be in Soph Mainstay Hugh Rodgers, guard who has been a mainstay at his position since joining the basketball squad. Rodgers is a sophomore.

Bad weather has hampered drills this week and Coach Meagher has not been able to bring his charges along as fast as he had hoped. Drake Field has been a quagmire since Monday and any really efficient rough work has been out of the question. Several changes in the positions of players have been made by Coach Meagher and his associates in the hope of strengthening several places on the eleven that are short on .likely looking material. Outstanding among the changes has been the shifting of Wesley Loflin who is a big, husky youngster and should develop rapidly at his new position.

The initial round is scheduled for completion tomorrow, and Monday the tourney will go into the second round. Much interest is being manifested in the tournament this year. The event is usually the most exciting and colorful of all the tourneys sponsored by the Interfraternity Council. Everyone is invited to attend these games which are played at the gymnasium. There is no admission charge. * * * * * * Auburn's basketball team has now entered the final stages of its schedule. Although Coach Jordan's charges have not won many games, they have gained much needed experience which will be of great help to them during the next few years.

He scored his ace shot on the No. 2 hole, a distance of 155 yards. He was a member of a foursome which included Linwood Funch-ess, Prof. Williamson, and Prof. May-ton. Woodall contends that the perfect shot was an accident, but we are inclined to disagree with him and give him full credit for taking perfect aim at the hole. * * * Some interesting facts about Auburn's basketeers: There are four three-sport athletes on the squad. They are Joel Eaves, Joe Bob Mitchell, Hugh Rodgers and Bobby Blake. All three play football and basketball, while Mitchell is a star pitcher on the diamond and Rodgers and Blake perform on the track outfit.. There are six players on the squad who stand over the six foot mark. These include George Strange, and Hugh Rodgers, guards, Mitchell and Clark, centers, and C. D. King, and Eaves, forwards. King and Mitchell are both six feet, four inches tall. Kyle Wood, sophomore forward from Wetumpka, and brother of Commodore Wood, former Auburn football star, is the shortest member of the squad. He is five feet, eight inches in height. Beard Will Compete In N Y. Track Meets C i v i l I n s t r u c t o r L e a v e s For Ind o o r C o m p e t i o n In N e w Y o rk F o l l o w i n g Melrose Success of good tackles was one reason for the change, together with the fact that only two lettermen are returning as guard material, and neither of these had any great amount of experience in the fall campaign. Huie showed promise as a halfback but there is a superabundance of halves and Huie will add needed speed to the guards. In the backfield, Joe Stewart has been changed from halfback to quarterback in the hope of finding a superior field general. Sidney Scarborough and Aubrey Hill, the letter-men back from last year that are available, while both satisfactory are not versatile enough to fill all the attributes of a good signal-caller. Stewart was a quarterback his freshman year so his change is not of such a radical nature. Bunky O'Rourke, a brilliant halfback as a freshman in '32 has been added to the roster of fullbacks as that position is definitely short on fast, dependable material. O'Rourke can turn in as good performance as a ball-carrier as anyone on the squad and should materially add to the line-plunging department. Harry Whit-ten, an ex-fullback, has never quite come through at that post, and Skipper Meagher has changed him to right half, the blocking back. Whit-ten is big and fast but has always been considerably held back on account of leg injuries. He should be an asset to the halfback corps. The football outfit will be strengthened next week by the addition of six members of the hardwood squad to the roster of gridiron hopefuls. Bobbie Blake and Joe Bob Mitchell, half-backs; George Strange and Joel Eaves, ends; Hugh Rodgers, tackle, and Sam McCroskey guard are the court artists who will report to Coach Meagher Monday in football togs. All except Strange were letter- winners in football, and Strange came along rapidly toward the end of the season and is expected to be a valuable member of the wingmen reporting for duty both now and next fall.

Successful in both his heats and in the finals at the Millrose games in New York, Feb. 2, Percy Beard, instructor in civil engineering at Alabama Polytechnic Institute, his alma mater, left here Thursday morning on the Crescent Limited for New York seeking additional honors in indoor meets in the East. Beard left Auburn this morning to enter the New York Athletic Club games at Madison Square Garden, Saturday night, and the National A. A. U. meet at the same place, Saturday week. Beard, who might retire from indoor competition after these two races, flashed ahead of a swift field to carry off ranking medals at the Millrose games, his first indoor meet this season, and he is being counted on to win honors at the N. Y. U. games and at the N. A. A. U. carnival. Holder of all recognized world marks in the high hurdle events, Beard, a member of Uncle Sam's 1932 Olympic team and Auburn's track ace of all time, is one of the most popular athletes ever to run in New York and receives an ovation each time his name is called out for a race. He is so much of a favorite in New York that so many autograph seekers and shoulder slappers seek him after his peerless races that it generally requires police protection to escort him to his dressing quarters.

Lanett High, Hurtsboro High and Tallassee are the only teams to register wins over Auburn and the latter two won by two-point, margins.

ALSO, NEW LINE SPORT OXFORDS G IBSON' MEN'S WEAR s Two favorite teams in the Interfraternity Council Basketball Tourney, Pi Kappa Alpha and Alpha Tau Omega, made their debut yesterday in first-round encounters that are but fair indications of the strength of the relative fraternity representations Pi Kappa Alpha met surprisingly stubborn resistance from vtlpha Psi in winning 15-8 last night in a game considerably closer than the score would indicate At half time only four points had been registered by each team in a game fraught with discounted scoring opportunities and wild passes. Coming back into the second period, Alpha Psi's center, Powell counted a free throw and Berry sent one swishing through the basket to give a three point lead to the Vets. Jimmy Fenton knotted the count a few minutes later as he also connected on a free shot, and sank a long-range attempt from outside the foul circle. Dopey Wright added two more to the Pi K. A. total with a brace of converted fouls and Fenton ran the total to 11 with another field goal. Wright hit his first field goal to run the count to 13-7 where Ma-loney of Alpha Psi broke even one-one on a hacking award. Fenton made the final score of the game as he successfully negotiated a "crip" to make the final result, 15-8. It took Pi Kappa Alpha considerable time to get started last night and on the whole the quintet lack coordination. Shooting was considerably off, many crips as well as clear longer tries being muffed. In the later stages of the contest, the offense got to clicking, however, and with some more practice, the Pi K. A. outfit should still be one of the strong teams of the tourney; they won the crown last year, but Joe Bob Mitchell, George Strange and Sam McCroskey are absent from the line-up. Alpha Tau Omega, semi-finalist, last year, demonstrated a shooting efficiency in annexing 42-3 decision from Sigma Phi Sigma in a one sided game that found Flake Farley hitting the baskets for 24 markers and the A. T. O. offense clicking generally. If any weakness was observable yesterday it was a tendency trf pass high and sometimes wide, but the offensive set-up insofar as deceptive plays are concerned is undoubtedly one of the best in the tourney. Schley Gordy and F. H. Richter also counted for ten and six points respectively in yesterday's scoring spree. Bill Sellers rounded out the A. T. O. scoring with . one field goal. Winston Boyles counted for the Sigma Phi Sigma field goal and Pearce Jackson for the free throw. Build For Your Future Perhaps Life Insurance should properly be called "Living Insurance."

UNIT TIGERS MEET SEWANEE IN FINAL GAMES ON 1935 CAGE SCHEDULE (Continued from Page 1) in a number of games they have turned in good performances that rank them on a par with the Conference leaders. If the Plainsmen can continue the pace set against Vanderbilt last night, victories over Sewanee are not improbable. The Auburn quintet demonstrated their best form of the season last night and with a little more accuracy from the shooting standpoint would have made an interesting game much more so. Joel Eaves led the Auburn offensive with ten points and turned in one of the best floor exhibitions seen in Alumni Gym this year. Joe Bob Mitchell, who started at center, handled the ball exceptionally well and got the tip his share of the time from Dick Plasman, rangy Vandy center, although missing shots rather regularly. Woodrow Strange, who has crashed into the first-string, line-up the past two weeks, has come along rapidly in basketball togs and seems destined to become a guard of outstanding capabilities before his college career is closed. Captain Cleve Brown, a stalwart on the first team for two years, opened up the Auburn offensive last night and played an inspired game against the heavy Vanderbilt five. Brown was in there scrapping from the opening whistle on through and deserves much credit for his indomni-table performance in leading the Auburn basketeers. His place at guard will be a hard one to fill after tomorrow night. Two other seniors write finis to college basketball careers in the series with Sewanee. George Quinney, forward, and Frank Sindler, forward and guard, are the other members who graduate in May along with Brown. Both, have been valuable members of the basketball squad for thee seasons and leave big gaps in the ranks of the Tigers. Preliminary encounters will be played by the frosh five before both games. The plebes will meet Woodland High School at 6:15 and La Grange, Ga. High tomorrow night at the same hour. The varsity games are scheduled to get under way at 7:30. ' (Continued from Page 1) F.

HAY GIVES BOOK REVIEW AT MEET OF LOCAL GROUP Rotarians Are Entertained On Thursday By R e v i ew Of "Au tobiography of Paul Harris' A review of the book, "Autobiography of Paul Harris," was presented yesterday at a meeting of the Rotary Club by Rev. Samuel Hay. Paul Harris was founder of the Rotary Internationale. In his review Rev. Hay discussed some of the experiences in the life of Paul Harris that caused him to form the Rotary Internationale. Harris was born in Wisconsin of a large family, but because of adversity and family hardships, Harris was brought up by his grandparents in Vermont. After several years attendance at a number of schools, Paul Harris traveled the world for five years. In 1896 he settled in Chicago for the practice of law. The low ethical standards of Chicago in this decade, together with the experiences gained in travel abroad, led him to conceive Rotary in 1900, although the first meeting wasn't held until five years later. Because of contacts-made by Harris in his travels, the reception of Rotary principles by one country after another soon made Rotary an international organization. By order of Major Franke. The order for the above changes was issued by Major Franke, signed by J. V. Phelps, 1st Lt., F. A., Adjutant, and approved for the Administrative Committee by Dr. Jno. J. Wil-more, chairman. AUBURN HIGH TO INVADE WAVERLY FRIDAY FOR GAME (Continued from page 3) Whatley and John Ham at forwards; Philip Smith at center; and Hugh Wright and Rojf Powell at guards are likely choices to continue as the first-string. Harry Bush, an elongated youngster who covers the floor exceptionally well and is a fair shot, is also slated for duty, as is Dan Friel, Powell's understudy at one guard. Preparations by Coach Fowler at present are pointing toward the district tournament, to be held in the near future. On the basis of its impressive record to date the local quintet looms as one of the seeded teams of the section, and unless it "blows up" in an early-round contest stands a good chance of going to the semifinals of this half of the district. Lanett, probably the section's strongest quintet, defeated the Auburn team 14 points in the latter's third test of the season in giving the locals their worst defeat of the campaign so far.

(Continued from Page 1) will be given as parts of five conferences he has given at the Infantry School at Fort Benning. Several Auburn students who heard the talk were very complimentary concerning it. This is Col. Dawley's first year at Fort Benning, and already he has gained a reputation as an excellent speaker. He has obtained an enviable record in the army and is considered to be an authority on many military topics. An address on Mexico was made by Prof. Y. A. Elizondo at the meeting of the Auburn Business and Professional Women's Club which met Monday evening at the home of Mrs. Alma Whatley. . Professor Elizondo said, in effect, that relations between this country and Mexico will always be harmonious if "the human element", which is common to all peoples, is thoroughly understood by representatives of the two countries. "Both countries are full of ineffective laws and many other undesirable things, but in appproaching international relations we must not forget the human element. Tolerance in one country will be met by tolerance in the other. . . . We must keep in mind always that the same principles of justice should predominate in both countries." In contrasting the sports of the American and Mexican people he said that we like football because we understand it and that Mexicans like bullfighting for the same reason. Whereas Americans thoroughly understand the game of football, with an accurate knowledge of the rules and acquaintance with the best players, the Mexicans likewise have developed a similar interest in bullfighting. Program for the meeting of international relations was arranged by Mrs. Whatley, chairman of this phase of the club's work. A report of the district meeting in Birmingham was made by Miss Mary E. Martin, state chairman of legislation. Flowers For All Occasions m King's Nursery - Phone 695-J Opelika, Alabama | . Patronize Plainsman Advertisers.

This is another of a series of entertainments which are being given Mrs. Beard. • Early Colonial planters shipped hundreds of pounds of tobacco to England in return for goods and supplies. .. .and tobacco has been like gold ever since! The tobacco raised in Virginia and exchanged for goods helped the struggling colonists to get a foothold when they came to America. Later on, it was tobacco that helped to clothe and feed Washington's brave army at Valley Forge. Today it is tobacco that helps—more than any other commodity raised in this country—to pay the expense of running our Government. In the fiscal year 1933-34 the Federal Government collected H25,000&00 from the tax on tobacco. Most of this came from cigarettes — six cents tax on every package of twenty. Yes, the cigarette helps a lot—and it certainly gives men and women a lot of pleasure. Smokers have several reasons for liking Chesterfields. For one thing, Chesterfields are milder. For another thing, they taste better. They Satisfy. © 193}, LIGCSTT & Mm* TOBACCO CO. |
