Small Crowd At Station To Give Plainsmen
Send-Off For New Orleans Trip Last Night
Bad weather dampened the spirit of Auburn last night and only a
handful of students were at the train to give the football team the usual
New Orleans send-off. Exactly 46 students marched behind the band
from Langdon Hall to the station. However, this number was swelled
to some extent by other students who were waiting at the train.
The handful of students made considerable noise just before the
team boarded the Piedmont, which carries them to the scene of the
annual Tulane-Auburn game. Cheerleaders McTyeire and Lee led
the gathering in several yells, and the band played several Auburn
songs as the train came into the station.
' During the demonstration a slow drizzle was falling, and, together
with a brisk wind made it an unpleasant night for the send-off.
The Auburn football party, which is composed of about forty-five
players, managers, coaches, and newspapermen, seemed to be in high
spirits. A Plainsman reporter talked to several of them and they ap­peared
to be anything but downhearted over the prospects of an Auburn
victory in the game tomorrow afternoon. While they made no pre­dictions
that the Tigers would win, they did say that Tulane would
know that they had played a football game before the last whistle.
Approximately two hundred students, less than the number attend­ing
the games in recent years, are expected to make the trip to New
Orleans this year. Many have already left via automobile while others
will take the 4:17 train to the Crescent City this afternoon. The num­ber
who had planned to attend the game has been reduced considerably
since no special round trip rate is being offered by railroad officials to
the scene of the affray.
Those students who are here will have an opportunity of seeing
the game on the grid-graph at the Tiger Theatre tomorrow afternoon.
A special leased wire will bring the play-by-play description of the
scrap to the theatre where it will be diagrammed on the miniature grid.
AUBURN DEBATING
GROUP IS ACTIVE
Prof. Hess Announces That
Group Plans Several Debates
On Campus This Year
According to Prof. E. D. Hess, much
interest is being shown in the debat­ing
society and its meetings every
Monday night are attended by a large
number of students. The freshman
class is well represented and Professor
Hess is enthusiatic over the chances
for a winning freshman debating
team.
The national question for the fresh­man
teams this year is, "Resolved,
That Federal Aid Be Granted for the
Equalization of Educational Oppor­tunity".
This is a splendid question
for debate and those who are interest­ed
in the freshman question can find
proper material in the college library.
In the library will be placed a book
which fully discusses the question.
For the upperclassmen inter-colle­giate
debate, four questions have been
issued. The national Pi Kappa Delta
fraternity is in charge this year and
local chapters in all the colleges are to
vote on the question. The four ques­tions
which have been submitted to
the chapters are: "The Nations
Should Agree To Prevent the Inter­national
Shipment of Arms and Mu­nitions",
"Complete Medical Service,
'Should be Available at Public Ex­pense",
"The Federal Government
Should Adopt a Policy of Social Plan­ning",
"The Federal Government
Should Fix a Maximum Limit fof In­comes
and Inheritances".

Randolph Leaves For
Washington This Week
Walter S. Randolph, executive in
charge of the Bankhead cotton pro­ject
here, left Thursday for Washing­ton
where he will remain indefinitely
to work on the 1936 cotton project for
the South. Federal officers at Wash­ington
requested that one man be sent
from each state in the South to work
on cotton reduction plans for next
year. T. A. Sims will be in charge
at Auburn while Mr. Randolph is
away.
Up to date Alabama has issued cer­tificates
for ninety percent of the
state allotment, and certificates for
the remaining ten percent will be is­sued
within two weeks. Alabama was
the first of the important cotton states
to complete the issuance of certificates
on the ninety percent allotment.
The drive of the Lions Club*to be­come
a full member of the Birming­ham
Children's Clinic was carried
forward at the meeting early this
week. Definite arrangement was made
for sale of tickets to attractions to be
presented by the Auburn-Opelika
Community Players during the coming*
season.
The full membership which the
members of the club hope to gain by
the end of their club year will enable
the club to send one child to the clinic
for treatment. The commission gain­ed
by the sale of tickets will be ap­plied
to this fund.
According to the chairman of the
ticket committee, it is the hope of all
Lions members to see Auburn and
Opelika citizens take a deep interest
in their project for in so doing The
Community Players will have a suc­cessful
season and some unfortunate
child will be greatly benefitted.
New York alumni of the Alabama
Polytechnic Institute who meet in
New York City, Friday, October 5,
at 8 p. m., will enjoy a program pre­sented
from their alma mater at Au­burn,
from Montgomery, and from
New Orleans, La. It will be done
by long distance telephone to which
amplifying equipment will be attached
in New York so that alumni assembled
there will hear it.
Coach Jack Meagher will be the
initial speaker. He will be in New
Orleans at the time and will use an
ordinary telephone.
The program will then be shifted
from New Orleans to the Adminis­trative
Offices in Auburn where the
speakers will be Dr. Jno. J. Wilmore,
Dr. B. H. Crenshaw, and Dr. L. N.
Duncan. The final feature will be
a short message from Dr. George
Blue, Auburn alumni president, who
will talk from his residence in Mont­gomery.
This unique arrangement is being
made by Carl Wideberg, Auburn
alumnus of 1920 and president of
the New York chapter of Auburn
alumni. The meeting will start at 8
o'clock, eastern standard time or 7
o'clock at Auburn.
PAYMENTS FOR
PAST YEAR TO
BE MADE SOON
Auburn Will Receive $54,600
In A F ew Days As Final Pay­ment
For '33-'34 Fiscal Year
PAYMENTS SHORT
Most Of Money For Past Year
Came From Special Educa­tional
Trust Fund
Student Tickets To
Be Sold In Orleans
Faculty and student tickets will be
sold at Tulane Stadium in New Or­leans
for the game tomorrow, accord­ing
to an announcement from the
athletic department.
Students must have their ticket
books as identification. Ducats will
sell for 55 and 40 cents as usual.
Regular tickets to the game are
$2.75 and $2.20 for reserved seats and
$1.65 for general admission tickets.
Auburn will receive $54,600 in a
few days as the final payment for the
state for the fiscal year ending Sept.
30. This will bring the total pay­ments
from the state to approximate­ly
65 per cent of appropriations dur­ing
the twelve-month period.
Payments for the fiscal year, 1932-
33, amounted to only 45 per cent of
appropriations, so the college has far­ed
much better during the last period.
Salaries to faculty members have been
in the same proportion during both
years.
Part of the added payments during
the 1933-34 year were the result of
the ruling of the special supreme
court last summer. Part of the mon­ey
appropriated to the educational
trust fund from the general fund of
the state was paid before the regular
supreme court advised that the appro­priation
was illegal. The rest of the
increase is due to improved conditions
and better tax payments.
With the exception of this one small
payment all of Auburn's money in
1933-34 came from the special edu­cational
trust fund. Monies in this
fund are raised by the tobacco tax,
hydro-electric taxes, and other special
levies on the so-called "big mules".
More than half of the amount came
from the tobacco tax, as more than
$1,500,000 was paid into the educa­tional
trust fund from this alone.
The total payments from the trust
fund were slightly more than $3,000,-
000, as compared to less than $2,600,-
000 last year. •
The recent allotment of funds in­volved
$480,000. In addition to Au­burn's
$54,600, the University of Ala­bama
will receive $35,400; Montevallo
will get $18,000; and each of the
teachers colleges will be alloted $5,000.
The greater part of the amount will
go to the elementary and high schools
of the state.
Estimates of money to be obtained
by Auburn during the coming year
approximate the figures for the past
period. Unless action is taken by the
legislature which meets in January,
something like 65 per cent of the ap­propriation
will be paid.
AUBURN SQUAD OFF TO NEW ORLEANS
FOR IMPORTANT GAME WITH TULANE;
TIGERS ARE DOPED TO LOSE AFFRAY
Plans Are Being Laid For Annual Ag Fair
To Be Held On October 19 Reports Manager
Plans for the Ag fair October 19 are well underway, according to
announcements made by M. E. Tisdell, senior manager, at the meeting
of the Ag Club Wednesday night. Entertainment features for the
night program are organized, and everything points to the best fair
on record.
W. L. Richardson, chairman of the program committee, introduced
the Rambling Ag Hill stringed band, which demonstrated its ability
by playing several selections for the Club. This band, made up entirely
of students in agriculture, will furnish music for the fair. The members
are going through a strenuous workout each night.
Members of the Ag Club present agreed that the efforts of the
band in playing "good old mountain music" made music creep into
the bones of every listener, and the band is thoroughly capable of mak­ing
every one attending the fair live an agricultural life for two hours
at least.
Other features on the Ag Club program Wednesday night were
talks by W. H. Bailey, James Cooper, and E. E. Cowart. The problems
discussed were the spending of drought-relief money, the studying of
stars, and the value of a fish pond and swimming pool for the individual
farm.

"Tartuffe", the Auburn Players'
first production of the year is to be
given in Langdon Hall, Wednesday
night, Oct. 10, at 8:15 o'clock. The
leading players in this first play are
the same who hajped made "Ultima
Thule" such a popular success last
spring.
Children are not Invited to see
"Tartuffe", as it is considered to be
strictly an adult production. The
author, Moliere, is regarded by critics
as the greatest dramatist next to
Shakespeare. This is the first time
the Auburn Players have attempted
anything quite so dramatic as "Tar­tuffe".
A popular admission charge of fif­teen
cents will enable all students and
townspeople interested in amateur
play production to see "Tartuffe".
Members of the Auburn Players who
are interested infighting effects and
stage management have charge of
these items.
The second production by the Au­burn
Players will be a musical comedy
prepared in cooperation with the col­lege
glee club. The date for this per­formance
has not beet definitely an­nounced.

DeBardeleben Is Praised By Birmingham Editorialist
Editorial Cites Alabama Fuel And Iron Company As Model For Industries
Mr. Chas. F. DeBardeleben of Bir­mingham,
distinguished alumnus and
former president of the Auburn Alum­ni
Association, was praised in an edi­torial
in The Birmingham News of
September 30 as follows:
"Memories of the Alabama State
Fair which closed in Birminham Sat­urday
are incomplete without delight­ful
remembrance of the exhibit pre­sented
by the Alabama Fuel and Iron
Company of which Charles F. DeBar­deleben
is president. It illustrates
vividly the constructive way in which
the employees of this company—under
the leadership of Mr. DeBardeleben—
are making themselves independent by
producing food for their own needs.
"Fully two dozen different articles
were on display. Each of these had
been produced or made by employees
of this company. A label showed, for
example, that 355,000 pounds of pork
was produced by these employees in
1933; another label showed that 34,000
bushels of corn was produced the same
year; and with these 4,000 acres in
sweet potatoes were cultivated. An­other
label showed 123,000 quarts of
fruits and vegetables canned or pre­served
otherwise.
"But the most important fact about
this work is that not a single employee
of the Alabama Fuel and Iron Com­pany
has been on relief rolls. They
fed themselves. Hence they were not
in relief lines but living upon their
own recources.
200180
Under the direction of Professor
Barnett, latest acquisition to the
music staff here, practice is underway
for the first symphony orchestra in
the history of the school.
Prof. Barnet has announced that
although a number of talented mu­sicians
have reported for rehearsals
thus far, he needs at least ten more
string performers to complete the ros­ter
for the organization. He urges
all students who play the violin and
other string instruments to report to
Langdon Hall for try-outs on Tuesday
nights at seven or Thursday after­noons
at five o'clock. "If you are in
doubt as to your ability or a bit timid
in trying out in public, please come
to the President's Mansion any time
and I will be glad to see you private­ly,"
said the director.
This is the first musical group on
the campus to include women students
in its roster. Already four girls have
become regular members of the organ­ization.
To date there are fifteen instru­ments
in the orchestra. These include
five violins, one viola, one cello, two
clarinets, two trumpets, one trombone,
one flute, a piano, and a timpany.
r. Barnett stated that he needed at
:ast twenty-five pieces to secure
genuine effect. Since the orchestra
will take part in the musical comedy
to he presented by the Auburn Play­ers,,
practice will be speeded up.
"Mr. DeBardeleben is commended in
the highest terms for this excellent
work for which his employees are gen­uinely
grateful. If all others had
done as Mr. DeBardeleben and his em­ployees
have done the public burden
for relief would have been much less
and social conditions would have been
much better."
Auburn visitors at the Fair also
commented favorably upon Mr. De-
Bardeleben's exhibit as discussed in
this editorial. The exhibit included | rather than per week,
both farm and home products. They
illustrate vividly the value of such
work under the leadership of Mr. De­Bardeleben,
commented the Auburn
visitors.
Dr. Cary Directs
Screw Worm Fight
Dr. C. A. Cary, who is managing
the screw worm fight in Alabama,
took a firm stand against strikers in
Choctaw County last week, only to
learn later that the trouble was be­cause
of a mistake.
The workers, who ride horses
through the county in search of screw
worm infection, demanded a doubling
of their salary, which was supposed
to be $12.50 per week. They also de­sired
to use automobiles instead of
horses.
Dr. Cary informed the probate
judge of Choctaw County that if the
farmers were too tender and inde­pendent
to ride horses for $12.50 per
week, plenty of farmers in other
.counties were not. Demands were
flatly denied.
Later investigations revealed that
in informing the men of their salaries,
Dr. Cary had made the mistake of
saying pay would be $12.50 per month
The farmers
were pleased to learn that after all
their demands of $25 per month were
far short'of actual pay.
Besides managing the fight against
screw worms in the State, Dr. Cary
Is also active in other similar work.
"Beat Tulane 1"
With this battle-cry ringing in their
ears, the Auburn Tigers departed last
night for New Orleans where to-mor­row
they will face the Green Wave of
Pontchartrain in the renewal of a
rivalry which dates back to the early
years of Southern football.
Auburn with probably the most in­experienced
squad in the conference,
takes the field to-morrow as a distinct
underdog to the team which it de­feated
the past two seasons. A su­per-
abundance of seasoned material,
plus a well-planned schedule, has run
Tulane's bunting to the top-flight of
pre-season championship favorites.
Auburn, on the other hand, has been
relegated to the bottom rung of the
ladder as a result of a murderous
schedule and a group of inexperienced
players.
Heartened by their showing against
Oglethorpe here last week, the Plains­men
are determined to put forth their
best efforts against Tulane. While
a victory for Auburn seems almost im­possible,
Tiger supporters are hoping
for the best.
Fresh from a 41 to 0 victory over
Chattanooga, the Greenies face Au­burn
in their first conference engage­ment
of the 1934 season. Blessed with
one of the fastest set of backs in the
South, including the sensational Bucky
Bryan, Monk Simons, Rodrigues, and
Thomas, Coach Ted Cox is expected
to let his boys loose against the
Plainsmen in an effort to gain revenge
for Auburn's upset victories in 1932
and 1933.
Coach Meagher will probably start
Alternate-Captain Bennie Fenton and
Millard Morris, at ends; Haygood
Paterson and Ralph Tolve, a t tackles;
Captain Mike Welch and Sam Mc-
Croskey, at guards; Walter Gilbert,
at center; Hill or Scarborough, quar­terback;
Joe Bob Mitchell, left half;
Joe Stewart, right half; and Harry
Whitten, at fullback.
Auburn's hopefuls have made
strides forward during the practice
sessions this week, and are confident
of giving Tulane a stiff battle. A
typical Tiger-Greenie game is in pros­pect
with Auburn fighting to the laat
ditch to upset the Wave in its first
bid for conference honors this season.
Several hundred students are ex­pected
to be in the stands when the
opening whistle sounds. Led by Head
Cheerleader Ed Prewitt, the Tiger
supporters began their exodus toward
New Orleans yesterday.
Auburn is well liked in New Or­leans.
Win, lose, or draw, the Tigers
always receive the applause of the
city for their excellent spirit and play.
Spiked Shoe To Hold
Initiation Next Week
Spiked Shoe, national honorary
track fraternity, will hold an initia­tion
Wednesday, October 10. Those
who will be initiated are: H. E. Mc­Kenzie,
Al Bloomquist, Bobby Blake,
Charlie Lawrence, Bob Mercer, and
Frank Langdon:
These men were elected for their
work on the track team last year.
Auburn had a very successful track
season last year, winning every in­dividual
meet except the meet with
Georgia Tech. Auburn took second
place in the Southeastern Conference
meet, losing only to the strong L. S.
U. team which only a few months be­fore
had won the National Intercol­legiate
Track Championship in Chi­cago.
The Tigers also won the A.
A. U. meet for the fifth time within
*he last seven years. This meet was
held in Atlanta, Ga.

HAZING
Probably the most uncivilized custom
practiced on the Auburn campus is hazing.
Auburn men have always prided themselves
upon being "he-men", and the brutal hazing
that was current here years ago promul­gated
that idea.
The last few years have seen a distinc­tive
decline in hazing, until now the practice
is rapidly becoming extinct. But vestiges
of this unintelligent tradition still cling to
our social order here. Every year someone
wants to organize some committee to disci­pline
the freshmen.
Physical punishment is no longer effective
for the control of first year men. The lead­ing
schools and universities of this country
dispensed with the old bed-slat method
years ago. These schools control the fresh­men
through the fraternities and boarding
houses by intelligent means; upperclassmen
find punishment other than spanking more
effective in keeping freshmen in their
"place". If this plan is possible in other
schools there is no reason to suppose that it
cannot be used to good advantage here.
We suggest that the old method of cor­poral
punishment be dispensed with and a
new plan, modelled on those used by other
colleges, be adopted. For example, when a
freshman fails to comply with "rat" rules
at Davidson, he is forced to wear a gaudy-colored
cap with an exceptionally long bill
attached to it. And the students there look
upon the wearer as disgraced.
But we laugh at such things here. This
is Auburn. We say, "give us the good old
days when men spat tobacco juice all over
the side-walks and shaved once a week".
Yes, we contend, we must make "men" out
of our freshmen by flailing the life out of
them with boards.
TOMORROW'S PROMISE
College youth is forever defending itself.
There has never been a time when the older
generation has not deplored the younger
generation to a marked extent. Depression,
rotten politics, and all the other present
day evils have led a large percent of the
world to wildly cry, "We are headed
straight for hell!" And college youth steps
out with confidence and ability and a "The
devil we are".
What does youth intend to do about it
all? First, young men and women are en­tering
politics actively and are not sitting
idly by as most of the capable older men
are doing. Youth is getting stirred up by
something besides cocktails. There is a
determination that in future elections youth
will see that real leaders come to the fore
and obtain office and they will modestly
offer themselves as leaders if necessary.
How this can be accomplished and the
present filthy political slate washed clean
is not known yet, but the determination is
there—the determination of university-trained
men and women, all intelligent and
sincere. There must be a change, not so­cialistic
but a change that must be brought
about to an extreme extent. It is left to
youth to do it—slowly and thoughtfully as
it climbs up to positions of responsibility
in the nation.
Youth is engaged in evening up the
weight caused by the unbalancing influence
of war. It used to be over-tolerant, over-skeptical,
and over-sensitive to the local
character of our customs and traditions.
Now it is striking a happy medium. There
is honesty in youth. Whether or not it is
natural honesty we don't know. But it is
at least deliberate honesty—mental convic­tion
that is necessary for civilization, for
progress in commerce and business. Youth
is moral—if for nothing else for the sake
of social reasons. The college generation
is swinging back to religion. • They see a
brighter day ahead through religion. Re­ligion,
besides its very essence, contains
artistic and cultural influences which youth
is seeking today.
The older generation has had its fling at
fighting the world. Conditions say that the
world defeated them to a certain extent.
And so the college generation of today
challanges that defeat. There is nothing
intrinsically wrong with the present sys­tem
of world organization. The shortcom­ing
is in training and spirit. Youth is
eagerly awaiting the moment when the
world will be placed in its hands. Then
tomorrow will tell if they are only wrong
again.
INTERNATIONAL RELATIONS CLUB
It is indeed pleasing to see a cultural or­ganization
like the International Relations
Club gain prominence on the Auburn camp­us.
Operating on a Carnegie Institute
foundation, this organization is rapidly be­coming
to be recognized as one of the most
popular educational groups here.
United States foreign policy and diplo­macy
are among the chief topics for discus­sion,
and many intelligent and thought
provoking opinions are expressed at these
meetings. This club is one of the few so­cieties
of its kind on the campus that is
maintained by external support.
Professor Ivey, of the history department,
is the most active figure in the club, and his
discussions of foreign affairs are of much
interest. It is to be hoped that this organ­ization
will greatly increase its member­ship
this year and will become an even more
worthwhile instrument of culture for its

As we have already taken care to point
out, it is of the utmost importance that stu­dents
have their pictures taken for the
Glomerata. The annual is a record of a
year of student life; unless the entire stu­dent
body is included in this record it can­not
be said to be complete.
In the matter of panels in the Glomerata,
we do not recall having seen anything quite
as unimpressive as an organization's page
in the yearbook containing some four or five
members' pictures.
Upon registration each student paid a
certain sum towards the support of the
Glomerata, and from this we infer that each
student wants to have his share in the an­nual;
but if one does not have his picture
made his part in the Glomerata is indeed
small.
THE GRASS IT GROWS
The Plainsman would like to enter a plea
for students to keep off the new winter
grass that has just been planted. Dr. J. V.
Brown, Director of Plant Service, and a
corps of workers are making especial effort
to improve the looks of the campus by sod­ding
it in grass. Just how fruitful their
effort will be is left up to the students.
In the past "cow paths" have blotted the
clean sweep of grass. We seem to think
that there is nothing better for a tender
shoot of winter grass than a broad Auburn
heel. We have been to lazy to take a "few
extra steps to avoid cutting paths in and
out of the main campus lawn* Let us have
a little pride in the appearance of the cam­pus
this fall and "keep off the grass".

IDLE EMS
One of the best moves we can think of
would be for fraternities and other groups
to require their freshmen to learn the Alma
Mater song. And have you ever noticed
how many upperclassmen know the words
of the song to sing it? While everyone
seems to be talking about Auburn spirit
why don't they mention the poor chowing
Auburn students make at football games
when they attempt to sing the Alma Mater
. . . We won't have to worry about stu­dents
giving Auburn a black eye this week­end
by their actions on the train as they
did two weeks ago—there won't be many
making the trip . . . It is reported that
we will have a Glomerata this year, Hooray.
. . . Isn't it a relief to be able to read
the daily newspapers without seeing stories
of a textile strike. . . . Freshmen will begin
shaving everyday and wearing coats now
that their election is just around the corner.
. . . If you haven't seen an issue of Formal,
the new magazine for college students,
you've missed reading one of the best of
its kind that is being published today . . . .
Auburn will have plenty of musical enter­tainment
this year what with a symphony
orchestra, glee club, and three student
dance bands.
All you guys who said the Cardinals are
going to walk away with the Tigers are
headed for a bump. Just watch Rowe go.
. . . This is all I need to fill this space so
I'll stop "emming".

SO FAR I have seen nary a sign of a
rat training for the annual cake race,
which ought to come off, if on schedule,
in about two months from now. Starting
at the Rat football field, the course first
runs thru the middle of town in order to
give the merchants their first good laugh of
the year, then it branches off into the res­idential
section so that the busy housewife
can get a glimpse, finally ending up at
Drake Field. Several hundred scared look­ing
rats, clad in anything ranging from
week-old underwear up to the regulation
track outfit, lined up on the field waiting for
the starting whistle is a rare sight; but
after the whistle is blown and they all move
forward like a mighty wave, that is some­thing
quite spectacular. But the best part
is saved for the last. The first twenty-five
to cross the finish line are the winners;
they get cake, all the rest go without. Some
chicken heart might call it mean, but I call
it funny when over the last rise comes
numbers twenty-six and twenty-seven neck
and neck picken'm up and putten'm down
for all they're worth; and then as they both
near the end, the crowd yells out in a
mighty chorus: "Give 'er the gun, you in
the pink pants. You're number twenty-five.
More still, number twenty-six is gaining!"
Anyway that keeps up till the poor fellow
dashes in like a mad horse only to find he
is number twenty-six and will have to buy
his cake. Take heart, freshman, the course
is only three miles long and can be walked
around in a little over a half an hour.

My friend across the page who writes
of cabbages and kings stated in his column
last Wednesday that I overstepped my

He had me mixed up with somebody else.
No hard feelings, just wanted to get things

Got a chance to chat a while with Bibb
Graves last Saturday as he was entering
his special box at the game. He is a good
guesser for he said that we were going to
win the game because the boys had the
right spirit and that was all it took to win
any /game. He ought to know. Another
thing he said was that in the near future
he hoped to see our wooden bleachers' re­placed
by a concrete stadium. We almost
realized that last year, but the thing fell
thru; and that will probably be the case
with the Colonel's promise, or I should say
the Colonel's hope.

It has always seemed to me that every
college should have some sort of class in
which those bent in getting rich quick could
learn a few tricks of the trade. No, I don't
mean the art of using the torch or the
handling of the gat; but it would be a good
idea to learn how to manipulate the stock
market so one could clean up a few grand
now and then. What is meant by selling
short and buying long is still Greek to me,
and it has been my observation (what won­derful
powers of observation I've got) that
just about all who itch for a little easy
come spending money have lost all they had
in the first place trying to find that out
as well as a few other things. I am still
speaking of the stock market. The grain
market is a horse of another color. My
dentist tried his luck one time and lost
everything he had except some gold filling
in his teeth. Dentists have a way of poking
around and seeing what's what in more
ways than one.

Columbia University has been doing some­thing
for the past few years which I think
might be used to an advantage at Auburn.
Every fall, before students have signed up
for any classes, the college paper comes out
with a detailed estimate of each subject on
the menu, giving whether or not the subject
is a crip, what sort of an egg the prof is,
and other interesting facts. Three students,
the smartest, the dumbest, and the average
who have taken a certain subject, are ques­tioned
in regard to it; and from their
opinions the final estimate of the subject
is deduced. With that help students are
able to do very nicely reports say.
Forthcoming from the above paragraph
should be some bright crack in regard to
how the thing would work at Auburn, but
we'll skip it this time because I am not
feeling so witty right now. It is now one
half hour after midnight and I don't know
how may days before Christmas.

The Auburn Rifle Team is due a good
bit of credit as it is, and should they suc­ceed
in their latest endeavor they will be
due the best of praise. They want to bring
about what has been and still is considered
almost impossible and that is getting some­thing
for nothing. They are looking for
some liberal hearted person or persons to
donate a silver loving cup, which will be
given to the highest ranking man on the
team at the end of the year.

LAST SPRING, a number of students
in this institution surprised me and
a great many other people by discard­ing
the apathetic attitude with which we
usually regard undergraduate affairs and
forming an organization which was, poten­tially,
one of the most beneficial innovations
that this campus had ever seen. Perhaps
unfortunately, the immediate reason for its
inception was politics; and, since the rather
ambitious programme outlined by the lead­ers
of the movement was not fully realized,
many of its adherents expressed themselves
as skeptical about the organization's
chances for success in the political field or
any other activity.
I am referring, of course, to the Inde­pendent
Student's Association, or, as it is
more commonly known, the I. S. A. Insofar
as I have been able to learn, nothing what­ever
is being done at present to secure the
reorganization or continuation of this group
—which fact is regrettable, for there is a
manifest need for just such an association
on this campus. Under intelligent and ag­gressive
leaders, the large non-fraternity
and non-sorority element at Auburn could
take its rightful place in the field of student
activities—in student government, in social
affairs, and in intramural athletics.
The individuals who were active last year
in the formation of the I. S. A. are to be
commended for their progressive spirit and
are urged not to let the matter drop but
to go forward with the organization this
year.

WILL YOU COME WITH ME and look
on at a charming and edifying scene?
The time is one o'clock in the morning,
the place is a fraternity living room, and
the actors in the scene are Auburnus and
his pals.
Can you believe it? Auburnus is discuss­ing
the mysteries of higher statesmanship
—he waxes wroth and intellectual. Names,
titles, and epithets fly through the air
which, besides all that, is filled with the
radio-blared strains of Henry Bussy's or-crestra.
The group is divided into two
factions—Capitalists vs. Planned Economy.
(Only the latter don't call themselves that,
nor are they so called by their adversaries
—they are either the "I'm-for-Roosevelt's"
or the Socialists, Communists, Radicals, or
Fools, depending on the speaker.)
The discussion consists largely of dog­matic
statements (voiced in a tone notice­able
for its utilitarian rather than its pleas­ing
qualities), of derisive laughter, and of
smart cracks. But Auburnus is enjoying
himself and is quite sure that if his mother
could see him she would thoroughly approve
of his taking part in such a worthwhile dis­cussion.

FORMAL TAKES ITS BOW . . . For­mal,
a new college magazine, should fill a
most empty gap in the college world. It
is a magazine for serious-minded collegians,
and the exact opposite of the so-called "col­lege
magazine" which presents college life
as a nightmare of drinking bouts, cut-down
flivvers, eccentric professors, and happy-go-lucky
students who live contrary to all rules
of nature and man—for the amusement of
those who are not in college. Its policy,
stated in its first issue, is as follows: "For­mal
will not attempt fanatical reforms, but
will sincerely present in a fair manner ar­ticles
of a controversial nature. Formal
favors World Peace, Religious Tolerance,
Sane Sex Education, and all things that are
harmonious with the art of fine living.
Formal will not make a joke of student ac­tivities
to amuse the general public." The
policy of Formal is a significant indication
of the trend of thought in the modern uni­versity.

more books in the library—a fully equipped

and money with which to pay those it al­ready

Auburn And Tulane Meet For Fifteenth Time On Gridiron Tomorrow
EACH TEAM HAS
WON SIX GAMES
IN LONG SERIES
Auburn Victorious In Most Of
Early Contests; Two Games
Have Resulted In Ties
Saturday will see two old gridiron
rivals renew relations when Auburn
encounters Tulane for their fifteenth
engagement.
The Greenies and Tigers have both
won six of these games, with two ties
on the record. The two teams first
met in 1906, with Auburn winning
the engagement by a 33-0 score.
Tulane and Auburn did not meet
again until 1921, and again that
year the Plainsmen handed the
Greenies a 14-0 lacing. Since then
the teams have locked horns with
each other yearly, but Tulane was un­able
to handle Auburn until 1923
when they battled to a 6-6 tie. The
folowing year they handed Auburn
a 13-6 defeat.
Except for a 2-0 victory in 1926
Auburn lost all of the games from
'24 on until they surprised the entire
Southland with a 19-7 victory in
1932. This was one of Auburn's most
brilliant victories that season. Au­burn
was doped to lose but with
Hitchcock leading his mates they com­pletely
outplayed Tulane for the vic­tory.
Tulane has run up a total of 163
points to Auburn's 130 in the four­teen
engagements, but this is due to
the large score the Greenies amassed
in 1929 when they won a 53-0 vic­tory.

Although Tulane is reputed to have
a powerful team this year and Au­burn
is rated as a second flight team,
this year's game should prove to be
AUBURN HI WINS
FROM COLUMBUS
IN FIRST SCRAP
Lee County Gridders Off For
Tuskegee Today; Fowler's
Squad Improved
Fresh from their first win from
Columbus High in over a decade,
Coach Gordon Fowler's Lee County
High gridders go to Tuskegee today
for the first game of the season with
an Alabama Athletic Association ag­gregation.
Tuskegee won their initial
game of the season last Friday from
Opelika High, reputedly one of the
strongest teams in the section 6-0
by virtue of a spectacular play in
the closing seconds of the game.
The Auburn team functioned well
in the Columbus encounter and with
the exception of Bobby Wilson, crack
half-back, practically the same team
will take the field against Tuskegee.
Wilson suffered a broken rib in the
early stages of the Electric City game
but played the whole game, keeping
the Columbus eleven in their own
territory most of the time through
his excellent punting; he averaged
46 yards per kick. The two touch­downs
for the locals were made by
Whatley, both on line plays, after a
blocked punt in one instance and a
successfully negotiated series of line
plays had placed the ball within scor­ing
distance. Powell, quarterback
for the Auburn team, also may not
be able to play Friday on account of
injuries received in the Columbus
game. Powell was regular quarter-
TIGER GROWLS
:By OBSERVER;
October's first gridiron charge sends Auburn's Plainsmen into battle
against one of the Southeastern Conference's pre-season championship
favorites—Tulane University. This annual football classic which has come
to be recognized as one of the outstanding attractions of the fall pigskin
season, finds Auburn distinctly the underdog this year. The Tigers, after
upsetting the dope the past two years, are picked to lose their first Con­ference
start by several touchdowns. Coach Meagher's men, however, have
everything to win and nothing to lose tomorrow in the fifteenth meeting
of the two teams. A closer score than most observers believe will, in all
probability, be in the offing.

to lick his Yellow Jackets. He
has a right to feel rather jittery over
the Vandy-Tech game. Vandy is re­puted
to have one of the best de­fenses
she has had in several years.
So has Tech. There will hardly be
more than two or three touchdowns
scored by both teams. However, Tech
is a real threat with her air attack.
Venturing an opinion on the outcome
of this "headliner" is shaky business.
One can never tell!

Those Auburn fans who can't make
the trip to 'Orleans to witness the
Tulane-Auburn game can still see
what should be a pretty interesting
scrap in Montgomery tonight when
Alabama and Sewanee meet. Al­though
Sewanee is given no chance
to win the Purple Tigers always play
one of their best games against the
Crimson's. Dixie Howell and several
other fleet 'Bama backs should pro­vide
fans with plenty of thrills with
their slashing attack tonight.
The Southeastern Conference will
lose one of its ablest coaches in Bob

football campaign. Neyland has
produced some of the classiest elev­ens
in the nation at University of
Tennessee. Major Neyland's teams
the last eight years have won 67 out
of 77 games—5 games were tied and
5 were defeats. He tutored such stars
as Bobby Dodd, Gene McEver, Her­man
Hickman, and Beattie Feathers.
Large Crowd Attends
Chemical Meet Here
Enrollment Is High
In Opelika Schools
The enrollment of all city schools
of Opelika shows an increase of 109
pupils over last year's, according to
R. B. Mardre, superintendent of city
schools of Opelika. The present en­rollment
is 1,243 against 1,134 for
the same time in 1933.
Mr. Mardre says he expects an in­crease
in enrollment of all schools
throughout the year. At present he
shows that the increase is general in
that Opelika High shows a gain of 45
pupils; Southside Grammar, 4; West
End, 15, and the negro school, 45.
Mr. Mardre is a graduate of Au­burn
and he also received his mas­ter's
degree at A. P. I. He is now
in his second year as superintendent
of Opelika schools.
A large crowd of students attended
the second meeting of the Chemical
Society Monday night. Professors
Martin, Reeves, Powell, and Saunders
were also present,
The program included talks by
Dean Hare, of the Chemistry and
Pharmacy School. The subject for
the discussions by Dean Hare were
"The Necessity of a College Educa­tion"
and "Required Courses in Chem­istry".
The programs for the remainder
have been outlined and each professor
in the chemistry school has been as­signed
two topics to speak upon. The
professors may make the talks them­selves
or have students to take part
in the discussion.
The primary objectives of the so­ciety
are to get students interested in
Chemstiry, and to promote a feeling
of congeniality between students tak­ing
chemistry courses.
Meetings are held every other Mon­day
at Ross Chemical Laboratory.
The next meeting is scheduled for
October 15. All students in Chemis­try,
Pharmacy, and Pre-Medicine are
invited to attend.
With their next game three weeks
in the distance, Coach Ralph Jordan's
freshman footballers are at present
engaged in signal-calling practice and
in furnishing opposition for the var­sity
in practice of football funda­mentals,
tackling, blocking, etc.
Since the deadlock with the Birm­ingham-
Southern plebe eleven the lo­cal
rats have advanced considerably,
several players who played but little
in the Southern encounter blossoming
forth as real football prospects.
Bill Ellis and McGwinn, both half­backs,
are improving rapidly under
the tutelage of Coach Jordan and
loom as probable starters in the re­maining
game on the frosh schedule,
Georgia Tech at Auburn, on Oct­ober
26.
Another back, although playing
creditably as a substitute against
Southern, who has advanced his game
several strides during the last two
weeks of practice is Gus Franke, sec­ond-
string quarterback. Franke was
a star signall-caller at Auburn High
in 1932 and at Lake Placid Military
Academy in 1933. Bill Hitchcock,
left half, is off weight at present but
is expected to have his normal 170
pounds back by the Yellow Jacket
contest.
In the line McKissick, a former
Wetumpka High ace, is coming
around as an expert wingman and will
probably see considerably more ser­vice
in the season's closer for Au­burn.
Hart, prevented from playing
but for a few minutes in the South­ern
game, is back in good condition
and he and Antley will probably
carry the bulk of the snapperback
duties.
With these exceptions, the frosh
team on the whole stacks up just
about as it did before the Magic City
game. Only two games were sche

back last season and played a con­siderable
amount as a sophomore in
1932. Although his size keeps him
from being a very effective offensive
star he more than makes up for this
handicap by his capable field general­ship.
Although the whole season cannot
be predicted on the results of one
game, it seems probable that the
local high school will have one of
the best elevens to represent the
school since 1929. Only two men
from last year's team were lost by
graduation,, two were lost because of
scholastic difficulties, one transferred
to Dadeville H. S., and many mem­bers
on the team have played varsity
ball together for two seasons.
The starting line-up for Auburn
against Tuskegee will probably find
Albert Wilde and David Wittel at
ends; Dennis Newton and John Ham
at tackles; Charles Rew and Loman
Jones at guards; Hugh Wright at
center; Junior Whatley at quarter­back;
Bunchy Fowler and Eugene
Trotter at halves; and Fred Hammock
at fullback.
Experiments have shown that the
black locust tree is one of the most
valuable plants of the South in con­trolling
erosion and stopping gullies,
according to Prof. L. M. Ware, head
professor of horticulture and fores­try.
Experiments have been carried on
here and in other parts of the state
and though this work is relatively
young, there are enough data to con­vince
the farmer that the tree should
be more widely grown. Black locust
trees can be grown where the land
is quite barren, thus leaving the good
soil for other crops.
Prof. Ware says that if proper
methods and fertilization are carried
out the trees will be large enough
for use as fence posts in from six to
ten years. Cultivation is of value
the first two years.
In 1933 the Experiment Station
here sent out 80,000 black locust
plants over the state, where they
have become a valuable crop for some
farmers. After the trees are cut for
fence posts, shoots start up around
the stumps, making replanting un­necessary.

Campaign Underway
To Kill Mosquitoes
Several weeks ago the County
Health Authorities, in co-operation
with the city, began a house to house
campaign, the purpose of which was
to rid the city of mosquitoes.
The first inspection of 684 prem­ises
showed that fifty percent of them
had mosquito breedings. The second
inspection of the same premises
showed a fifteen percent infection,
and the third inspection showed a
nine percent infection. The city hopes
that when the rounds are made again
that the percentage of infection will
be nil.

Southeastern Conference football
gets underway this week with several
important games being scheduled for
the first Saturday in October.
Probably the feature game of the
week-end is the Georgia Tech-Van­derbilt
clash in Atlanta. Georgia
Tech has a veteran team to send
against the Commodores while the
latter are for the most part green
sophomores. However, the latter have
one most promising athlete, Palsman,
whose kicking has been a feature of
the Vandy games to date, and he is
being depended on to kick the Com­modores
out of danger in the major
conference classic in the south to­morrow.
Both Georgia Tech and Van­derbilt
had considerable difficulty in
bowling over their first conference
opponents last week and go into the
game fairly evenly matched. Van­derbilt
struggled through to a 7-0 vic­tory
over Mississippi State, and
Georgia Tech emerged victorious over
Clemson 12-7 in an interesting battle
in Atlanta. Tech will have the ad­ded
advantage of being at home for
this game.
Tennessee and North Carolina meet
in an S. E.-Southern Conference bat­tle
in what promises to be another
close game. Tennessee encountered
duled for the frosh this season, but
they are doing a valuable service in
furnishing the varsity with satisfac­tory
opposition for practice sessions.
no difficulty in overwhelming a rather
weak Centre eleven 32-0 last Sat­urday
and North Carolina took the
measure of Wake Forest, supposedly
one of the up and coming North Caro­lina
elevens, 21-0 to prove their
strength. Charley Vaughn turned in
a good game against the small Centre
team and is expected to continue his
duel-threat tactics, hurling and run­ning,
against North Carolina. North
Carolina's offensive stars against
Wake Forest were Charlie Shaffer,
Jim Hutchins and Dick Dashiell, the
latter two sophomores.
The Auburn-Tulane game in New
Orleans and the Alab(ama-Sewanee
game in Montgomery are the only
two games besides the Georgia Tech-
Vanderbilt contest that will have any
bearing on the Southeastern Confer­ence
race. Auburn, with a compara­tively
inexperienced team meets Tu­lane
in a game that once more finds
Auburn the underdog with a slight
chance of victory. Sewanee is not ex­pected
to give the Crimson Tide much
difficulty in Cramton Bowl, as the
Tide has its customary powerful of­fense
and the Purple Tigers have a
team not much improved over last
year. Sewanee lost its game with
Southwestern last Saturday 2-0 on
a mud-soaked field and although may
flash unexpected strength against
Alabama this seems unlikely.

Women Mobilized To
Defend Their Rights
Richmond, Va., Oct. 3.—(Special).
—Fifty-five thousand women a r e be­ing
mobilized to defend the individual
security of men and women all over
the country, according to Mrs. Geline
MacDonald Bowman, president of the
National Federation of Business and
Professional Women's Clubs.
Behind this program are 1,360 in­dividual
clubs in every state in the
Union and territorial possessions, she
said.
"We are prepared to defend the
principle of such economic security as
will assure to each individual the safe­guards
guaranteed by the Constitu­tion,"
Mrs. Bowman declared. "We
stand for sound education; the right
to work and to receive rewards suffi­cient
to lift living standards; and
safety for the individual's non-pro­ductive
years.
"We demand social justice for all,
and for women we demand employ­ment,
salaries, and promotion on equal
terms with men."
State education officials a r e being
queried as to their school appropria­tions,
whether they are adequate, and
if not, how business and professional
women may lend their influence to
make them so.
. The Federation will determine the
percentage of employers who now of­fer
unemployment insurance to their
employees.
Copies of the nation-wide program
have been sent to President Roose­velt
and to Miss Frances Perkins,
Secretary of Labor. Public officials
and candidates for office will be asked
to express themselves on the principle
of appointment of qualified women to
important positions.
A prize of $50 is being offered by
the National Federation of Business
and Professional Women's Clubs for
the "finest poster" advertising Busi­ness
Women's Week, March 17 to 23,
1935.
According to Miss Virginia Igou,
local club president, the contest is
open both to members and the public
a t large who have had specific art
t r a i n i n g in schools or colleges.
Contestants may submit more than
one poster, may use any medium, and
the design should be bold and simple
as to color. The poster must contain
the following lettering: Business
Women's Week, March 17-23, 1935
and be in the proportion of 11 by 17
inches.
The contest closes on November 1.
Miss Igou explained that names of
'state judges will be announced at an
early date and that the national
judges are Alfred H. Barr, director
of the Museum of Modern A r t in New
York City and a group of museum
trustees.
Native Cuban Speaks
On Situation At Home
The International Relations Club
began its work two weeks ago, with
the return of the majority of the
members of last year. The greater
p a r t of the program period was de­voted
by members of the club to the
formation of plans and to the discus-ision
of prospective new members.
The principal feature of the evening
was a fifteen minute talk by Mr. Luis
Sardo, of Havana, Cuba, who dis­cussed
the present Cuban situation.
Mr. Sardo stated that conditions in
the island are still in an extremely
unsettled state. During the summer
there had been a number of strikes
and connected with these have been
manifestations of Communist activ­ity.
Mr. Sardo also stated it was the
general opinion in Cuba t h a t advoca­tion
of the Piatt Amendment is not
as complete as surface conditions
would indicate. There was a great
deal of enthusiasm shown on t h e p a rt
of the population on the date of the
removal of the amendment but this
soon faded away when it was rumored
that the head of the Cuban army,
General Fulgencia Batista, took no
•important action without conference
with the American ambassador. It
is impossible to determine the exact
s t a t e of the affairs but the available
evidence supports the view presented.
Mr. Sardo has been a member of
the International Relations Club in
Auburn for two years, he has affiliat­ed
with the International Relations
Club in Havana and his father was
a Colonel in the Cuban army just
prior to the revolution. His connec­tions
with events in Cuba and his
recent stay there for three months
qualifies him to speak authoritatively
on the situation.
The International Relations Club
brings together the select students
who a r e interested in home and for­eign
affairs t h a t a r e of great interest
to the world and is fostering a better
understanding of outstanding current
events and also the scholastic stand­ard
of Auburn.
Vets Make Plans For
Dance In Near Future
At the third regular meeting of the
Junior American Veterinary Medical
Association held last Wednesday
night, final arrangements for a dance
to be sponsored by that society were
made. Also a talk was given by Dr.
C. A. Cary, who spoke on the subject
of what makes a good veterinarian
and his duty to the profession.
J im Deubler, Ferguson, John Stiles,
and Clyde Bass were selected to for­mulate
plans for a dog show to be
given soon. Short talks were given
by members of the veterinary faculty
and by several students.

RELATIONS CLUB
WILL ELECT NEW
MEMBERS EARLY
Group Meets For Second Time
Last Tuesday And Discusses
Prospective Members
I n Peru, Dr. Julio C. Tello, archeo-logist,
has discovered a perfectly pre­served
portion of an Indian building
which he says belonged to the ancient
Chavin civilization.
The International Relations Club
held its second meeting of the year
in the history office in Samford Hall
Tuesday night at 7:00 p.m.
Names of several prospective mem­bers
were mentioned and voted upon.
The names of the new members will
be announced within the next few
days, according to H. E. McKenzie,
secretary of the club.
Reports were made on several
countries. Jimmy Williams, who has
spent several years in China, gave a
talk in which he told of several im­portant
disclosures that have been
made by t h e Munitions Investigation.
Reports were also made by other
members of the Club.
Professor 0. T. Ivey, faculty ad­viser
for the club, who has made
an intensive study of South America,
told the members of a movement
which is taking place in Peru. This
movement, according to Mr. Ivey, is
similar to the N.R.A. in the United
States. The Opera, as the new
movement is called, is quite as strong
as the government.
Prize Chickens Take
Egg-Laying Contest
A flock of White Leghorns from
Alabama set a record of 3020 points
to win the eighth national egg-laying
contest in Chipley, Fla., started last
October and recently ended. A Rhode
Island Red flock from Maine took sec­ond
place, while one from Texas came
in third.
Competing in the contest with the
Alabama flock were entries from 22
states and the Hawaiian Islands. The
ten hens winning the contest turned
in a record of 2887 eggs laid, or about
290 each in eleven months.
Another Alabama Leghorn with a
total of 334 eggs won individual
laying honors.
RUSSIANS LEARN
OF BOLL WEEVIL
HERE THIS WEEK
Two Russian Entomologists
Spend Several Hours Inter­viewing
Prof. Robinson
The Glassboro (N. J.) Board of
Education has decreed that any
teacher who smokes shall promptly be
without a job.
The International Relations Club,
which is sponsored by the Carnegie
Endowment for International Peace,
has as its object the advancement of
better understanding between the
countries of the world. The Club
works toward this end by making a
study of the individual countries in
order t h a t they may be better under­stood.
Two Russian entomologists spent
several hours here Tuesday to collect
information on cotton insects and dis­eases.
They were in conference with
Prof. J. W. Robinson, Auburn ento­mologist,
who discussed with them
control measures for the boll weevil
and the cotton leaf worm.
Both of the foreigners were from
the quarantine service of the U. S. S.
R. and were making a tour of all
the cotton states in company with
A. J. Bruman of the U. S. Depart­ment
of Agriculture. Their names
were Dr. V. V. Nibolsky of Leningrad
and A. L. Efimov of Moscow. Neith­er
spoke English and an interpreter
was necessary at the conference.
Following the conference they visit­ed
the experimental cotton plots on
the Alabama Experiment Station.
At present the boll weevil is un­known
in Russia but the visitors were
interested in all sorts of information
on its control with a view to possible
future infestation.
