Semi-Weekly Plainsman Wednesday Issue ®h£ Auburn fllamsman Mass Meeting Thursday Night T O F O S T E R THE A U B U R N S P I R IT VOLUME LVIII AUBURN, ALABAMA, WEDNESDAY, OCT. 10, 1934 NUMBER 10 AUBURN LOSES CONFERENCE GAME TO TULANE GREENIES IN NEW ORLEANS BY 13-0 Auburn Shows Much Defensive Ability And Potential Offensive Power In Game Shifted To Guard SIMONS IS STAR Auburn Surprises Observers In Holding Tulane To Low Score; Show Improvement By Jap Parrish S h o w i n g surprising defensive strength and flashing potential offensive possibilities the 1934 Auburn football representation succeeded in turning what Tulane supporters thought a set-up before the game into a good gridiron affair in holding the Greenies to a 13-0 score Saturday. Auburn threw a scare into the New Orleans fans on two occasions and demonstrated that defensively the Tigers are adequately fixed this season. The biggest trouble with Auburn Saturday was little Monk Simons, who was the power that was personally responsible for Tulane's first touchdown and who indirectly started the drive that netted the second marker for the Greenies. Simons accounted for the first touchdown, after a fumble had given Tulane the ball on Auburn's 22-yard line and three plays had been complete failures, by virtue of a beautifully executed fake pass that effectively deceived the Auburn line and gave Simons an opportunity to do a fancy job of running in stepping over the goal line for the initial score of the game. Simons kicked goal for the extra point. The second Tulane drive resulting in a score in the third period, started when Simons trotted 26 yards down the east side of the field to get the ball out of its position deep in Green territory and on the Plainsman 37- yard stripe. Two line attempts by speady Bucky Bryan netted exactly no yards for the Greenies, but a triple pass on the third down, Rodrigues being the final recipient of the ball, carried the Green Wave within strilf-ing distance of the Tiger fifteen. Three attempts through the line failed but Simons again took the initiative in the crisis and flipped a well-placed pass to Hardy over the Auburn goal. The try for the extra point was blocked by Haygood Paterson. Auburn's biggest scoring threat was made in the last period after a series of line plays with Mitchell carrying the brunt of the running attack took the ball to the Tulane eight-yard line. Two line plays and two passes netted one yard to discount the Tiger opportunity. The Auburn line played exceptionally well in holding the fleet Tulane backs to 11 first downs from scrimmage. After a succession of apparently unstoppable line plays had carried the ball from the Tulane forty to the Auburn four, the Plainsmen buckled down and hurled the Greenies for a net loss of five yards in three plays. The final try for Tulane was unsuccessful as a pass was knocked down over the goal. Mitchell played his third game in a Tiger uniform in great fashion as he did most of the running and punting for Auburn. The only blot on his record was a costly fumble that paved the way for the first Tulane score. He and Blake averaged 38 yards per kick. Joe Stewart started the game as Mitchell's mate at the other half. Cleve Brown, a veteran of three campaigns, opened his first game Saturday and displayed an excellent knowledge of field generalship; Aubrey Hill replaced him the last quarter. The other Auburn backs, Blake, Huie, Kilgore and Whitten looked good but the entire backfield was a little slow in coming up to support the line. In the line Walter Gilbert and Barney Musgrove both turned in convincing performances at center, literally covering the battle front. Musgrove's outstanding play was the nailing of (Continued on Page 4) MANY PICTURES ARE TAKEN FOR 1934 YEARBOOK Bruce Announces That Photographer Will Be Here Only Few Days More WORK UNDERWAY Glomerata Will Contain Several New Features; To Be Novel Yearbook Interesting Facts Are Deduced In City After Recent Heavy Rainfall AL *B%rm POCY - AUBUK* Frank Gantt, who has been playing center, has been shifted to guard in effort to bolster offense. PROGRAM PLANNED BY LOCAL LEGION Auburn Post Of American Legion To Give Events Here On November 9—Roe Armistice Day program, sponsored by the local American Legion post and the college, will be held Thursday, Nov. 8, instead of Nov. 11. The change has been made because Armistice Day comes on Sunday this year, while Thursday is a regular drill day for R.O.T.C. Col. Pritchard of Birmingham will be principal speaker at the celebration. A parade will begin at "Gasoline Corner", led by the college band, and end at Bullard Field when an R. 0. T. C. review will take place. A barbecue dinner will be on sale at 50 cents per plate. Col. Pritchard is state commander of the American Legion. He spoke in Opelika recently, and is said to be an interesting and forceful speaker. Other visitors from over the state are expected to be here Nov. 8 as guests of the American Legion. Entertainment, membership and Armistice Day committees were selected by the Legion at its meeting Monday night at the student recreation center. A membership drive will be launched soon with the enrollment of every veteran in this vicinity as a goal. It was pointed out at the meeting that the Legion is the only organization existing for the veterans alone. Last year Auburn placed third in the statewide membership contest. Tommy Atkins entertained the members Monday night with sleight-of- hand tricks and vocal numbers. Thirteen legionnaires were present. Duncan Is Speaker At Kiwanis Meeting Dr. L. N. Duncan, extension service director and member of the administrative committee of the Alabama Polytechnic Institute, told the Auburn Kiwanis Club Monday about the origin, the aims, and the work of the land-grant colleges in the United States. He said that these institutions were a result of a strong demand from people in all walks of life for higher education to assist them in their problems. The speaker said that the first act approved by congress for creating a land-grant college in each state in the union was vetoed by President Buchanan. Advocates of the bill presented their case, he explained, to Abraham Lincoln who was then candidate for president. Mr. Lincoln assured them that he expected to be elected president and promised to sign a similar bill if congress would approve, which was done in 1862. "These land-grant colleges", said Mr. Duncan, "now constitute a substantial portion of our American system of higher education. They have (Continued on Page 4) Will Bruce announced yesterday that many pictures for the 1934 Glomerata have been taken and that this part of the work on the annual will be completed soon. Students are reminded that the photographer will be here only a few days more and those who haven't had their picture made are requested to do so within the next week. Bruce said that many students who requested that their photos be placed on their respective fraternity and sorority panels have failed to call by the Glomerata office and pay the regular fifty cent charge for carrying the pictures on the panels. He said that pictures of those who do not pay this fee will not be carried on the organization panels. Work on all sections of the book has been planned and will get underway within a few days. The heads of the Glomerata staffs have issued a call for students who are interested in working on the annual to call by the Glomerata office. Bruce announced that the names of staff* members would not be released until both staffs have been completed. This year's yearbook will be different and unique in many respects. A number of marked changes have been planned, some of which will not be disclosed until date for issuance of the book. A larger athletic section and a novel beauty section are two of the changes to be made. Bob Klein, editor, has not announced whether or not the Glomerata will sponsor another "Miss Auburn" contest, but a statement to the effect that such a contest will be held is expected in a few days. The Snapshot section of the book will be larger and will contain pictures of many phases of Auburn campus life, rather than any particular season of campus activities. Work on the fraternity section is well underway and Bruce stated that an increase in the number of pictures carried on these organization's panels has been noted. Copy for the new edition of the book will be ready for Benson Printing Company, of Nashville, Tenn., within the near future. Old Mother Nature can really out-do man when it comes to doing things in a big way. Take for instance last Thursday and Friday when 3.16 inches of rain fell in Auburn. As far as heavy rains go, that is nothing to brag about, yet at the same time it is enough for one to deduce some interesting facts. One inch of rain on a level acre of ground equals a little more than 100 tons of water, and 3.16 inches would come to about 319 tons per acre. There are 1120 acres in Auburn. In other words Auburn received just about 357 thousand tons of water last Thursday and Friday. That would be a little less than 715 million pounds, which would be the same as 11 million cubic feet. If all this water were put in a container one foot square, the container would have to be about 2000 miles high to hold it all. Believe it or not. FORESTRY COURSE IS OFFERED HERE Prof. D. J. Weddell is New Instructor In Forestry Course; Enrollment For Class Begins Impressive Send-Off Is Planned For Team A Mass Meeting concluded with a parade tomorrow night at 7:15 will be the send-off for the team to Baton Rough to play L. S. U. Head Cheerleader Prewitt is particularly anxious for all students to essemble by 7:15 so that the "old fashioned pep fest will get underway before the parade, and so that the procession can get started on time. "This will be a chance to show the team just what a real send-off can be like. I am anxious that the parade be as effective as possible," said Prewitt. "We will get together at Langdon Hall and form the procession there. Then led by the Band we will march through town to the station and finish with the songs and yells there. With the Band furnishing the music all that the students will have to furnish will be the songs and the yells; so I want everybody out." The Team will leave on the Piedmont Limited at 7:30 for the second game in Louisiana this season. After the showing of the team last Saturday spirit and enthusiasm for the approaching game has run high and the pep fest promises to be a demonstration of real "Auburn Spirit". Indications are that the pep rally will be one of the largest and most impressive of the year. Beginning with the current session the Alabama Polytechnic Institute is offering courses in forestry to train students for various work in forestry in Alabama and other states. This instruction will be given by Professor Donald James Weddell of Michigan and Florida who has arrived in Auburn and assumed his new duties. The plan, as announced by Dr. John J. Wilmore, chairman of the administrative committee, and Dean M. J. Funchess of the school of agriculture, is to offer a degree course in forestry as one of the several courses in the school of agriculture. Professor Weddell is in the department of horticulture. Arrangements are being made for freshmen this year to elect forestry, and several new students in agriculture have indicated their intention to do this. Courses in forestry—as announced by Professor Weddell—include acquaintance with different trees, studies of the growth of trees, management, tree mensuration information, uses of timber and other subjects required for thorough training in forestry. Professor Weddell came to Auburn from Florida where for two years he has been employed by the state forestry service. He received his B. S. degree from Michigan State College in 1928 and his M. S. from the same institution in 1932. From the date of his first graduation he has been employed continuously in forestry work or the study of forestry. He spent one year with Goodman Lumber Company in Wisconsin, a portion of one year with the parks development in Detroit, Mich., and nine months with a company of landscape engineers, after which he did research work at Michigan State College. Leaving there he went to Florida where he resigned to come to Auburn. Pharmacy Society Reorganized Here The Pharmaceutical Society has been reorganized this year after an interval of two years in which the society was inactive. The reorganization meeting was held Monday, October 24. Officers selected for the coming year are: J. R. Smith, president; V. R. Mc- Collum, vice-president; Miss McCol-lough, secretary, and Mr. Kynard, parliamentarian. Professors Blake, Nickel, and Hargreaves are honorary members. The program for Monday, October 8, included a talk "The Hall of Science at the World's Fair" by Professor Nickel, and a discussion of the possibility of organizing a chapter of the American Pharmaceutical Society. "TARTUFFE" TO BE ENACTED BY GROUP TONIGHT Play Will Be First To Be Produced By Players Here This Season FINE CAST Considered One Of Best Plays To Be Enacted By Local Actors By Doug Wallace The Auburn Players will stage their first production of the year tonight at 8:15 P. M. in Langdon Hall. Presented will be "Tartuff", a five act play by Moliere, being done by the players as a tragedy. Adult admission will be fifteen cents. "Tartuffe" is considered by many critics of drama as Moliere's masterpiece, having been written by him in 1664 for a series of royal entertainments at Versailles and as an onslaught— most powerful ever attempted on the stage—against the religious hypocrisy of that time. Those whom they play assaulted were able to prevent its being given in Paris for several years. Professor Telfair Peet has rewritten the play as a tragedy, adding a definite touch of impressive-ness to the entire production. Children are not invited to the performance. Moliere is thought to be next to Skakespeare as one of the greatest dramatists that the world has ever known. Whereas, Shakespeare did not limit his writings to England, Moliere was essentially a Frenchman and wrote his plays for the French people and more often for the royal court. It is conceded that Moliere is the greatest of all comedy writers. Jimmy Lovelace, who filled a major role in the production of "Ultima Thule" last spring, will play the part of Tartuffe, assisted by Jewel' Martin as Elmire. Franklin Woodruff, a veteran of the Auburn stage, will be seen as Orgon, husband of Elmire and father or Mariane, with whom Tartuffe has fallen in love. The part of Mariane will be played by Sue Morton. Other characters in the play are Dr. Walston as Mrs. ^Pernelee, Velma Blanton as Dorine, R. J. Wood as Cleante, L. Brown as Velere, Bill Guilford as Damis, and W. Manry as the officer. Many of the above have had experience on the amateur stage and are well qualified for their respective parts in "Tartuffe". In the first act the scolding that Mrs. Pernelee is very adept at giving to every member of the family is quite amusing. In that act and the others following the mention of Tartuffe between centain members of Orgon's household is frequent as are the opinions of him, who is plotting all the while as to how he will gain his ends. Early in the play it becomes evident that Tartuffe is after the love of Mariane. But Orgon, her father, has already given her hand to Cleante, Mariane's suitor. In the fourth act Orgon suddenly realizes to his dispair that Tartuffe has at last -become the master and that he will have his way (Continued on Page 4) Large Crowd Attends Meeting Of A. S. M. E. Dean Wilmore, Professor Hixon, Professor Elizondo, and a large crowd of students were present at the third meeting of the A. S. M. E. Professor Elizondo discussed the relation of Latin-America to the United States and Professor Hixon gave the second installment of his talk on Practical Photography. Suggestions for several talks for future meetings were given. t The purposes of the society are to advance mechanical engineering on the campus, to provide a medium of contact between professional engineers and students and to place the professional end of engineering before the students. While the society is primarily for students of mechanical engineering all students of aeronautical engineering are urged to attend the next meeting scheduled for October 28.

PLAINSMAN HEADS OFF FOR CHICAGO Moss And Davis Will Attend Newspaper Convention In Chicago October 11-13 Fred Moss and Neil Davis, business manager and editor of The Plainsman respectively, left Auburn this morning for Chicago where they will attend a joint convention of Associated Collegiate Press and National College Press Association, October 11-13. While in Chicago the Auburn representatives to the convention will stay at the Bismarck Hotel, N.C.P.A headquarters. The program for the three sessions includes several outstanding features. Mayor Edward J. Kelly and Dr. Francis V. Coccoran, president of De- Paul University will be speakers at the welcome luncheon, which is to be held tomorrow at noon. Prof. Victor R. Portmann, of the Kentucky School of Journalism, will also appear on the program that afternoon. Friday and Saturday will be taken up for the most part in round table discussions. The organization of staffs, news coverage, typography and make-up, and individual pages will be given major consideration in the editorial sessions. The business round table program will include discussions «f laying out advertisement, advertising that serves, educating the potential business manager, office practices of business managers, circulation plans, and several other topics. Eugene T. DuPont, sales consultant expert of the Chicago Daily News will speak on "How to Sell Your Paper to Local and National Advertisers". Other featured talkers will be Prof. Harry Franklin Harrington, Dean of the Medill School of Journalism at Northwestern University, who will talk on "The Newspaper' of the Future", and Mr. Charles C. Young-green, vice-president of Reincke-Ellis- Younggreen and Finn, Inc. Social features of the three program include a dance at the Medinah Michigan Avenue Club and a luncheon at Marshall Field and Company. In (Continued on Page 4) Recreation Program Be Tried In Opelika Opelika has been selected as one of the ten cities in Alabama in which the American Legion-Benarr MacFad-den recreation program will be tried out. The second meeting was held last Thursday in Palmer Hall. Alabama is the first state in which this recreation program is to be tried, and if successful it will be extended to cover the entire nation. Equipment is to be furnished, and instructors are to devote one day a wegk in each city. This movement is being sponsored by Benarr MacFadden, wealthy publisher of Physical Culture, who is nationally known for his interest in the physical development of boys. LEFT SUNDAY Important Issues Will Be Discussed At Three Day Session At Stevens Institute The Auburn chapter of Tau Beta Pi will be represented at the national convention of that society in New York City October 11-13 by Linwood Funchess, president of the local group. Funchess left the city Sunday afternoon for the 33rd annual session and will stay at Columbia University while in New York. The Tau Beta Pi chapters at Columbia, New York University, Brooklyn Poly, and Stevens Institute will act as hosts to the visiting delagates. In an interview with a Plainsman reporter Funchess stated that several major questions which have been before the fraternity for the past few months will be discussed at business session, which are to be held at Steven Institute. The Student Loan Plan, codification and revision of Tau Beta Pi laws, and consideration of petitions from several engineering societies which are now operating as local organizations will come in for much discussion, Funchess stated. Besides the business sessions of the fraternity several other features will be given for the entertainment of visiting Tau Betas. A sight-seeing trip of New York City, a formal dance at the Columbia University Faculty Club, a banquet at the same club, and possibly a trip through Radio City Rockefeller Center are the major entertainment features of the program. Several outstanding engineers who hold membership in Tau Beta Pi will be featured in speeches at business sessions at the convention. Among this number will be Mr. P. W. Ott, brother of Captain E. S. Ott, who was instructor in Military Science and Tactics here for several years, national president of the organization. The local chapter of Tau Beta Pi is recognized as one of the most active groups in the national. Last year Auburn was represented at the national convention in Chicago by William Beck. Auburn High Gridmen Meet Roanoke Friday Lee County High School's strong football team will meet one of its most dangerous threats of the season when the Auburn boys clash with the Roanoke High School aggregation Friday. The game will be called at 3 o'clock, on the old high school football field. Neither Auburn nor Roanoke has been defeated or scored upon during the present season. Each has met what was considered a strong foe, and each has triumphed by a score of 10 to 0. The local team defeated Columbus High, while Roanoke downed Chambers County High. Coach Fowler of Auburn believes he has the strongest team that has played for Lee County in several years, and has prophesied that the Roanoke game will be the best of the season. Admission will be 15 and 25 cents. Bobby Wilson, Auburn's star half back and punter, suffered a broken rib in the Columbus game and will not play. Starting for Auburn will be Whittle and Wild, ends; Newton and Smith, tackles, Jones and Rew, guards; Wright, center; Trotter and Fowler, halves; Ham, fullback; and Powell, quarter. Whatley, star basketball player and triple threat man, will alternate with Powell at quarter; Chrietzberg, brother of Will Chrietz-berg, will see service at center. Others likely to play are Ellis and Howard, guards; Watkin at end; and Hammock at fullback.

THE FRATERNITY LEACH With "rush week" now only a memory, the fraternity pledge is beginning to form his habits of conduct for his college life. May he not allow himself to be classed as a large number of his older fraternity brethren—as nothing more thap a "fraternity leach". This type of student is one who comes to college with but one aim and that to "make" a fraternity. After he has made one he is perfectly satisfied. The fraternal parasite does absolutely nothing. He is content to sit back and rest on the prestige which he gained when he was pledged to a fraternity. He has no time for activities— there are too many good shows j to attend. His studies worry him only to the extent of his passing them. He gives nothing to his fraternity but expects the fraternity to give him everything. The only honors he receives are those which he gets purely and simply through his fraternity membership. He is a non-entity. In other words, he takes everything from the fraternity and gives nothing in return. Instead of helping his chapter his actions usually bring disgrace to the group. He is a hypocrite. He delights in dominating the freshmen, and takes great pleasure in telling them what they must do to help the fraternity. He makes a fine first appearance through his dress and his hearty attitude. But after "rush week" he is hardly ever heard except when mid-semester grades are posted. His membership is a curse to any fraternity. The sooner fraternity members and pledges realize this truth the sooner fraternity membership will carry something besides a social stamp. However, fraternities must remember that the pledge is not entirely responsible for his habits. After all, pledges usually do that which the chapter requires of them. Mid-semester grades will soon be compiled. Those pledges who have been left on their own hook will make deficient grades. These freshmen will have realized the lack of interest of those who courted their good opinion at the first of the year. Naturally they will not have struggled for the coveted average as they would have if some means had been used to tie them closer to the chapter. I So it's a fifty-fifty proposition. Through cooperation the pledge will get much from his fraternity affiliation and the fraternity will be proud to call so and so a pledge. In a few weeks pledges will know how much good they are doing their fraternity and the fraternity will know whether or not it has helped the pledge. If, at that time, the results are not what we think they should be let both parties determine to combine their efforts in doing their part for a better fraternity. LISTEN, PROPAGANDISTS! Those Republican propagandists who have so violently attacked the New Deal policy of helping the American farmer should familiarize themselves with the situation in Japan before they hurl nasty epithets at Roosevelt's efforts again. Conditions among the Japanese farmers have grown rapidly worse, and rumblings of discontent have been heard. Silk is the money crop of Japan. The annual production is about one billion pounds. Costs of production average about 3.25 yen per eight pounds. In 1927 and 1928 the market price for silk was about 11 yen per eight pounds, and the farmer's income from this source was over one billion yen. But for the year 1932-1933 prices were under three yen per eight pounds. On silk alone the farmers lost about one hundred million yen. In addition, the cost of rice, the most popular food of Japan, has risen. The situation has become so bad that numerous delegations have gone to Tokyo asking that a special session of the Diet be called to aid the farmers. Instead of attempting to help them, as the New Deal has done, Japanese government officials have done nothing more than listen politely to the delegations. The American farmers' plight is not nearly as serious as that of Japanese farmers, but the government has been working day and night in an attempt to help the agriculturists of this nation. Yet they have received more criticism than they have praise for their efforts. Whether or not the AAA helps the American farmer it was at least formed with that purpose in mind, while Japan has done nothing to help the farmers of that nation. STRUGGLE FOR SEA POWER In a few months the eyes of the entire world will once more be diverted to a naval conference. The "big five"—Great Britain, Japan, United States, France, and I t a l y - will be thrown at each other's throats again through the medium of what looks like another farcical argument over naval disarmaments. So far as the naval problem is concerned from this corner it seems like the real argument over rationing battleship tonnage should be left up to Great Britain, Japan, France, and Italy. For the United States to take a very active part in the disarmament conference would be foolish. The naval policy of the United States is liable to bewilder the foreign observer. He is intelligent enough to realize that a nation with an immense seaboard fronting two oceans and a foreign trade to the expansion of which there is no visible limit, must of necessity have a first class navy. Nevertheless, it is true that the United States, if called upon to state its reasons for wanting a large navy, would have to fall back upon academic rather than concrete principles. Separated from Europe and Asia by the width of oceans, it is in no direct danger of attack on a serious scale. The Phillipines are a dangerous liability so long as they remain under the United States flag but after they become independent and our Asiatic squadron is withdrawn, this country will have an invulnerable defense. Then, why shouldn't the United States view the development of British, Japanese, French, and Italian sea power with calm and detachment? t MOVIES The film version of "Treasure Island" which we enjoyed Sunday has received, so we hear, the English and therefore the ultimate stamp of approval. No doubt this fact suggests to many book lovers the names of some of their characters and stories which might be very enjoyable on the screen. Personally, we would travel a long way to see an authenic portrayal of Sir Arthur Conan Doyle's "Sig Nigel", with possibly Leslie Howard playing the title role supported by Wallace Beery as "Simon". A good blood curdler and at the same time something "different" would be the dramatization of Jack London's "The Star Rover". A film which could be altogether stupendous and stand a fair chance of being colossal would be "The Count of Monte Cristo" (not to be confused with Paramount's "Countess of Monte Cristo"). IDLE EMS Your editor and business manager are off to Chicago to attend a convention of the Associated Collegiate Press and the National College Press Association . . . We hope to profit by our trip and return with some new ideas which we expect to use in serving you to the best of our ability throughout this year. Have you had your Glomerata picture made? . . . if you haven't don't forget to keep your appointment with the photographer. The Auburn Players are presenting their first production of the year tonight in Langdon Hall . . . "Tartuffe" is the name of the play and was re-written by Prof. Peet . . . It is good, don't miss it. We have a hunch that Auburn will lick L. S. U. this weekend . . . they're getting better every game. Now that Joe and Knobby are getting their money we feel much better over the situation in Hangoveria. Now that the general strike has ended in Cuba we are wondering who will strike next. . . . It wouldn't seem right if we couldn't read in the dailies about somebody striking . . . Funny why Uncle Sam goes to great expense to buy natty uniforms for his R. O. T. C. laddies and then the trousers legs have pistol bottoms. There will be plenty of dancing this weekend, what with three dances Friday night and one Saturday night . . . this social life! IN THE MEANTIME By Darn 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. * * * * AS I SIT here thinking of something to write my mind reviews some of the happenings of the opening dances. First the 'Auburn Knights" could have done a much better job of making music than did the orchestra obtained by the Social Committee. There was, also, quite • a bit of criticism of the treatment received by a few of last year's seniors, at the hands of the social committee. It seems that several members of Scabbard and Blade were invited to the Saturday morning dance, but when they arrived at the Gym they were told that the social committee had struck their names from the "list". This same procedure was repeated at the Blue Key and at Tau Beta Pi dances. How long will the organizations on this campus tolerate such an injudicious policy? Will they continue to be exploited in such a manner? No! The organizations on this campus are a little too wise to be "gyped" in such a manner. It therefore behoves each organization to take action about this at once. * * * * COURTESY—at one time—was synonymous with the name "Auburn". When one student met another on the street, whether it was day or night, he spoke. To you, the' older students here, have you noticed any change on the campus? sHave you been guilty of speaking to some of our "first year men" and having them (using the common term) snoot you? What has become of the courtesy that at one time prevailed here? Will we succumb to the practices of other institutions or will we remain democratic as we have been heretofore? You, older men, it is up to you to see that this tradition is upheld. * * * * TO MY GOOD FRIEND and colleague . . . . in my first column, I did not mention the name of the vocalist in question, because the man in question is a very fine fellow. It is the voice which I criticized. I believe that the man in question considers me one of his friends, surely, I consider him as such. Accordingly, you will see that instead of helping matters, you have dabbled in something of which you know little. As for your statement, that you have never heard criticisms of the voice in question, I refer you to Benson's some mealtime. Just watch the expressions of some of the diners. * * * * CONGRATULATIONS to Cecil Strong for his very enlightening letter to the editor of The Plainsman. It was with great pleasure that I read his letter. I agree with Cecil that a great deal of the animosity between Alabama and Auburn is caused by sheer ignorance. If this subject was taken into consideration by some group here I am sure that some suitable terms could be arrived at, and the road would be paved for the committee of "Legionnaires" to proceed with their plans to bring the two schools together in a football game. Before Auburn and Alabama will play a football game there will necessarily have to be some kind of agreement between the two student bodies. * * * * POETRY—With the last issue of the "Plainsman" comes the announcement that 1728 students are enrolled in school. Surely there must be a few of these students who are poetically inclined. Since we do not have a literary magazine on the campus to which efforts could be submitted, wquld it not be fitting for the editor of the "Plainsman" to set aside a poetry column for the publishing of such student poems as he should see fit. To start things off I would like to submit a poem by a former student who has had several poems published in The Plainsman several years ago under the pen name of "Redlig". MY IDEAL When the cups are filled with licker, and the flasks are passed around, And all my pals are going on a spree; I would like to take the licker, forget, and swig it down, But a picture on my desk is watching me. When my buddies all start going to a questioned part of town, And my reason's in a whirl and stir; I am tempted, nearly tempted, but then I say "thumbs down" When I stop a bit and think of her. When I get down and out, blue as hell, and feeling like a cur, And, too, I don't exactly give a damn; Nothing better I prefer than for me to think of her Just look what a different man I am.

Of course, we will provide you with a date. In an effort to please such a big shot as you we are sending out the following inquiry to determine what kind of girl you like. What type of girl do you prefer to take to the dance: Please check— Redhead Large Blonde Pretty Brunette Ugly Small - - . - - - Large eater - - - - Medium - - - - - Small eater - Funchess checked "red head", large", "ugly", and "small eater". He explained to the editor of Footprints that he felt at home with a girl who had the first three qualifications, and preferred a girl with small appetite since the local members of Tau Beta Pi wouldn't give him enough money to feed one who ate a lot. * * * * * * Cecil Strong: "How do the new co-eds look?" Walter Brown: "Right past me". * * * * * * John said he thought the tramp at the back door of his cafe was trying to reduce when he said that he hadn't eaten in three days. * * * * * * The freshman who went to the war office in search of the key to the parade ground was certainly misinformed . . . imagine his embarrassment when he learned that the Cadet kept it. * * * * * * Joe Purvis is back with us again this week. He pitched for the Tigers in Sunday's game with the Cardinals. The first ball he threw was a slow ball. The game was called on account of darkness. * * * * * * Those who live in the vicinity of Bullard Field have probably heard quite a bit of shouting lately. Don't become disturbed. It's only Colonel Hughes practicing giving commands. His voice broke the other day and drill was dispensed with until freshman cadets could find it and patch it together again. * * * * * * It is reported that "Huey" Overton is autographing grapefruit for his many admirers now. * * * * * * Joe just came in the office and told us of his running the 100 in 8 flat yesterday.

CABBAGES AND KINGS By B. S. WITHOUT THE PALE University of Minnesota.—The University R. O. T. C. unit will be withdrawn from the campus entirely, unless credit arrangements for the course are put on a basis more satisfactory to the war department, according to a communication from Washington. The War department gives the University until February 1 to make a change. If, at that time, no agreement is reached, Minnesota will see the end of its military force— unless the college decides to continue one without federal help. As one officer in the Military headquarters expressed it, "the present credit setup is a sort of hodge podge affair" with some cadets getting three times as much credit as classmates who sit beside them in the same courses of study. The "hodge podge" system is a result of the policy followed immediately after compulsory drill was abolished last June. A committee was named to formulate a policy, giving college heads most of the power to make their own credit rulings for students under their jurisdiction. * * * * Georgia Tech.— Loyal Tech graduates and supporters all over the South and undergraduate students will be given the opportunity to attend out-of-town games on Tech's schedule this fall. The railroads will cooperate to the extent of running excursions and special trains to Durham, N. C, for the Duke game on October 13; to Ann Arbor, Michigan, for the Michigan State game on October 20; to New Orleans, La., for the Tulane game on October 27; to Gainesville, Fla., for the Florida game on November 24, and to Athens, Ga., for the Georgia game on December 1. Already parties are being formed all over the country to attend these games. Mr. J. E. Davenport, a graduate of Tech in the class of 1908, together with the president of the Michigan-New York Alumni Club, is making arrangements for a party of Tech alumni to charter several Pullman cars for the Ann Arbor trip. * * * * Florida State College for Women.—Rug-giero Ricci, violin prodigy, Kathryn Meisle, contralto, and Ted Shawn, dancer, have been secured to appear this year in artist series of programs at Florida State, according to the announcement made public by Ella Scoble Opperman, dean of the school of music, who is chairman of the music committee. The first feature which is scheduled to take place on November 8 will introduce to the students at Florida State the eleven-year- old prodigy, Ruggiero Rucci, who has been appearing with the Boston Symphony Orchestra this season. Ricci is considered as a great artist by critics, not only from the standpoint of his youth, but also for his skill in interpretation. * * * * University of Georgia—Controversy over the right of fraternities to have women guests in the chapter houses ended Thursday with the approval by the i University Social Life committee of a new set of rules drawn up by the Pan-Hellenic council, whereby fraternities agree to maintain a chaperone approved by the administration in the houses at all times. The new rules also provided that each fraternity shall have a house mother approved by the administration, a faculty advisor to act as representative to the Social Life committee, and that each chapter set aside a period of study during the evenings of the week.' * * * * Duke University—The Duke Chronicle, Duke University newspaper, has signed a contract with United Press for rights to its world wide service. The contract was to become effective yesterday. With 53 branch offices in the United States and bureaus in the leading cities and capitals of the world, the United Press will give the Chronicle complete coverage of state, national, and foreign news. The releases will be handled through the North Carolina state bureau at Raleigh. The Chronicle is one of the college newspapers which have joined the United Press within the last year. The UP is making a special effort to familiarize student readers and journalists with its service. * * * * University Alabama—Miss Mary Harmon Black will serve during the coming year as Honorary Cadet Colonel of the University R. O. T. C. unit, while Misses Grace Manderville, Lola Wurtle, and Helen Burns have been chosen as Honorary Lieutenant Colonels. The honorary officers will be presented to the cadet corps at the annual Homecoming Parade, which will be held on November 11. At this time Major General George Van Home Moseley, Atlanta, commander of the fourth corps area, will review the corps of cadets. * * * * Birmingham-Southern. — Apparently angered because the September 21 issue of the Gold and Black reported to the student body proposed changes in the honor system, Guthrie Smith, president of the student body, denounced the editor of the publication in a secret meeting held last Tuesday by the student senate and a faculty committee. Meeting behind closed doors the senate and the committee were discussing proposed changes or amendments to the honor system when Guthrie Smith broke into a long tirade against the publication. 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. PRESIDENT and Mrs. Roosevelt have been censored because beer was served to young people at a Christmas dance at the White house. This action was taken several days ago by the board of temperance, prohibition and public morals of the New Jersey Conference of the Methodist Episcopal Church. It is not unreasonable to believe that the President might next be censored for using Listerine or Lavoris. They contain alcohol. Or perhaps a similar temperance and morals board will request Mrs. Roosevelt to wear stockings while swimming. Even the thought of such an expose of the extremities of our first lady must undoubtedly shock the sense of decency of these pure and noble souls. Mr. and Mrs. Roosevelt, in the minds of their untainted censurers, are probably "sots" and degenerates. They are ill bred, low-brow, and entirely lacking in morals; they are not fit examples for young people. Our sons and daughters must be barred from attending any future White House Dances. The very atmosphere, smacks of beer. The Methodist Committee further said "how it hurts the whole make-up of a true citizen to read in bold headlines that beer floods the White House". Is it too late, my fellow citizens, to save the president and his lady from utter depravity? Shall the White House be completely inundated? Is it impossible to train them to follow the narrow path and tread in the foot steps of our exhalted, honorable and upright "board of temperance, prohibition, and public morals"? There is need of haste, my friends. On to the White House! It * * * TO THE IMMORTAL THREE who read this column . . . consider my dilemma; Ye Editor wants copy within the hour. All I have at present is the above paragraph, a present of Mr. Jeremiah Jutting-ham, and a bunch of tag ends that were cut from the last two columns. Now I must fill this blank middle space . . . with what? Of course I might discuss the presidential vacancy here, but that might cause the editor to be forced to postpone his trip to Chicago and spend the weekend explaining to college authorities that he was not entirely crazy, but had just been lax in the copyreading of the efforts of one of his mentally incompetent columnists . . . Or perhaps I might discuss, in a general fashion, of course, the commercialization of college athletics, with the sly hint that the death of the famous Auburn Spirit is perhaps attributable to this mercenary barrier which our alumni have placed between the men who represent Auburn on the football field and the average student . . . But such a discussion would be futile for two reasons; first, I'm sorely afraid that Au-burnus wouldn't catch the hint, and second, I'm afraid it would be too conducive of apoplexy among various members of the Old Guard here at Auburn . . . and similar excellent reasons can be found for not writing on several subjects which might prove of interest. So I must up and pace the floor and attempt to concentrate on some innocent, inoffensive and conventional subject. An absent look out a window dis-- closes an innocent, inoffensive and most conventional town spread before my eyes . . . but I can't write about the whole town . . . whole bevies of I, I, &C. co-eds are traipsing about the campus . . . but who is the mere man who would dare relegate woman to one papagraph? . . . -Pon my word, here's column's end, and I haven't said anything yet . . . so what? * * * * TAG ENDS—In all due appreciation of the efforts put forth by the Social Committee, and the difficulties that they have encountered, may we ask that they try just a little bit harder to get a first-class orchestra for the Junior Prom . . . And speaking of the dances, the famed Lady of the pugnacious mouth and innumerable freckles was all that half of this column told the other half that she would be . . . Wonder what strides this institution could make under the leadership of an able president . . . said president to be entirely divorced 'from State politics?? A certain assistant librarian received a very stony stare when he appeared amused at one of our most sophisticated co-ed's request for "Treasure Island" . . . . In accordance with the "Regimentation" spirit that is said y to be sweeping the country, I would suggest the organization of the regiment of boot-wearers that infest the campus . . . and any man caught with odor of horse upon his boots is to be fined ten dollars and forced to ride one of the brutes twice around the riding hall. . . .

If Your Product Must Weigh Less O x y - A c e t y l e n e w e l d i n g will e l i m i n a t e heavy j o i n t s and give t h r o u g h o u t — g r e a t e r sturdiness with less weight and bulk. By F. J. KING* The trend in modem product design has been trfward lightening weight. Manufacturers wishing to make their metal products lighter are building them of light weight alloys and metals with welded joints. Products so fabricated utilize the superior features of welded j o i n t s to a t t a i n lightness with strength, ruggedness, and attractive appearance. W e l d i n g Is Strong Lightness is gained in welding because each j o i n t is a smooth union of two metal parts into one. No lapping or flanging is needed for making the joint. Corners are not bulky or cumbersome. Invisible seams give a smooth surface for painting and enameling. And in strength t h e joint is 100 per cent efficient—as strong as the metal it joins. BAFFLING CORROSION-resis-tance to the action of salt water can be effected with special alloy metals. Welding is used to give light weight joints in all commercial metals and alloys. I n Modern A u t o m o b i l es In automobiles, for instance, lightness has been attained by designing many motor and body parts for welding. The resulting light weight car has less tire wear, less gas consumption, fewer repairs. Its welded seams have smooth contours and streamlines, offering less wind resistance and providing an even surface for fine finishes. On t h e Airways Safe, speedy flying was next to impossible until the aircraft industry adopted the welded joint for a i r p l a n e fuselage construction. With other means of joining it would hardly be possible to carry a profitable pay-load. Welded light alloy fuel tanks for aircraft are safer, lighter, stronger and more compact. I n the chemical and food industries, also, welding contributes to lighter weight. Light alloy piping andcontainers can be used—welded to give a smooth, even surface inside and out. Welding leaves no rough spots for corrosion or germs to attack. S a v e s T o n s of Weight A prominent example of weight saving is in the use or welded piping on the new treaty cruisers. Reduction in tonnage through the use of welded piping made it possible to mount an additional 8-in. gun and still conform to treaty weight limits. These many cases drawn from actual experience show the advantages of building products from light weight metals and alloys by welding. Welded joints are most efficient and economical for modern metals and designs. F o r T h e Future Industrial executives interested in making their products lighter can obtain further data on the use of welding in their own operations through The Linde Air Products Company. This company, in addition to utilizing the facilities of Union Carbide and Carbon Research Laboratories, Inc., has had wide experience drawn from over 20 years in pioneering and developing oxy-acetylene applications. Advice and assistance to manufacturers on how best to use oxweld-ing and cutting for their needs is available without charge through sales offices of The Linde Air Products Company located in Atlanta, Baltimore, Birmingham, Boston, Buffalo, Butte, Chicago, Cleveland, Dallas, Denver, Detroit, El Paso, Houston, I n d i a n a p o l i s , Kansas City, Los Angeles, Memphis, Milwaukee, Minneapolis, New Orleans, New York, Philadelphia, Phoenix,Pittsburgh,Portland,Ore., St. Louis, Salt Lake City, San Francisco, Seattle, Spokane and Tulsa.

Auburn Outing Club Checks Fish Growth The Auburn Outing club has kept an accurate check on the growth of fish planted in Wilmore Dam lake by the state game and fisheries department back in 1927. Since 1929, the records of the club show, the fish have steadily been-gain-ing in size and this year the lake yielded an 8% pound bass, the largest yet taken there. In 1929 the largest fish caught weighed two pounds, 15 ounces. A year later the largest one tipped the scales at three pounds, 14 ounces and in 1931 the prize catch weighed five pounds one ounce. The biggest one in 1932 weighed four pounds and seven ounces and the largest bass taken in 1933 was only one ounce heavier. But this year the scales have been groaning under fish weighing seven pounds, ten ounces; seven pounds, eleven ounces and finally the biggest bass of all.

EIGHT PIECE ORCHESTRA SINGING -:- DANCING C o m i n g "DAMES" Baton Rouge, La., Oct. 9 — Grey matter—that substance that separates the genius from the average tax payer —is a priceless fluid. And Abe Mick-al, Louisiana State's sensational junior quarterback, has a fortune in grey matter. Not only has the Louisiana star more than his share of grey matter between the ears, but he seems to have received a shot in his right foot, right arm and fingers. Mickal, a quiet, reserved and popular Syrian, is one of the leading students attending L. S. U. His scholastic record for the past two years is as brilliant as his gridiron record, which included the title of the "south's best sophomore" in 1933 and 14 consecutive place kicks for extra points. As a sophomore he was a member of the varsity debating team and several honorary societies. Capt. Lawrance (Biff) Jones made good use of Mickal's educated toe and arm last fall and this season he is capitalizing on Abe's mental brilliance by giving his star junior the quarterbacking duties. Mickal's educated throwing arm and his toe turned defeat into ties for L. S. U. in the first two games of the 1934 season. Trailing Rice institute —who defeated Purdue last Saturday —by a 9 to 0 score in the last quarter, Mickal booted 67 yards to the Texans' one-yard line. Rice took an intentional safety, making the score 9-2. Six plays later, with Mickal running four times and passing once, Abe crashed over for a touchdown. But the ball was brought back and another back scored on the next play. Mickal then calmly sent his 15th consecutive place kick through the uprights to tie the score at 9-9. Last Saturday against the "aerial circus"" of Southern Methodist, Mickal completed two long touchdown passes, one netting 36 yards and the other 72, to twice enable L. S. U. to score after the Mustangs had tallied and added the extra point. Mickal's 16th straight goal tied the count at 7-7, while his 17th, scored in the last four minutes of play, made it 14-14. In addition to his two touchdown passes and two extra points, Abe carried the ball twice as often as any other Tiger back and finished with an average gain of three yards per try. Mickal rates not only as a distance kicker—and he has several 70-yard punts to his credit—but he is a great coffin corner kicker. A dangerous safety man gets few chances to return his kicks. Last year in L. S. U.'s game with Tulane, the traditional rival, Mickal threw a touchdown pass and then was called ' upon to kick 13th consecutive extra point. Jinx or no jinx, he booted a "strike" to allow his team to come from behind and save the day with a 7-7 tie. Only three of the ten teams the Tigers played last fall escaped his touchdown passes. And if anyone says, in this part of the woods, that someone is a better player than Mickal, he had better remember "The Virginian" and smile. Burkes Predicts New Buildings In Auburn A new hotel and stadium within the next two years is the prediction of Mr. R. L. Burkes, Auburn real estate dealer. Both Mr. Burkes and Mr. B. C. Pope, another real estate man, claim that the price of real estate in this city has been affected very little by the depression. Auburn has been exceptional in this respect. During the lean years there were no property sacrifices and very few mortgage foreclosures. Desirable building lots on built-up paved streets sell for $1100 up. Home building has fallen off considerably. For several years prior to 1930 from 20 to 30 houses per year were built. Since 1930 the average per year will not run to more than four or five. Rents dropped some during the depression, but at no time have there been many vacant houses. At present seven or eight houses are empty, which is really a small number for a town this size. House owners have never had much trouble in collecting their rents. Mr. Burkes is expecting a building boom during the next year, with probably twenty private homes being constructed. * GUNBY TEACHING LADIES' CLASS IN RIDING THIS YEAR R. O. T. C. Captain Reports Largest Enrollment Since Beginning Of Course Legion Post To Aid In Armistice Fete PLAINSMAN HEADS OFF FOR CHICAGO (Continued from Page 1) addition delegates will be guests of DePaul University at the DePaul- Dayton football game Friday night. One of the most interesting features of the program will be a tour of a Chicago newsplant, which is to be held Friday afternoon. The Plainsman is one of the few southern college newspapers belonging to both the Associated Collegiate Press and the National College Press Association. The sport of horsemanship is Jbe-ing studied and enjoyed by 50 members of the Ladies riding class conducted again this year by Capt. Tom Gunby of the R. O. T. C. staff. This is a record enrollment, popularity of the class having increased Steadily since its beginning several years ago. Some of the members are taking riding for the third year and have developed into accomplished horsewomen. The class is divided into two sections which report for two hours of instruction weekly. Separate instruction is given beginners in each section. Later in the year opportunity for instruction in jumping will be offered those who are advanced in riding, said Captain Gunby. It is expected that another paper chase or drag hunt will be held by the class around Thanksgiving. Last year the chase was held over an interesting 10-mile course. Though definite arrangements have not been made, it is possible that the annual gymkhana will be staged much earlier this year, perhaps near the first of February. Captain Gunby is being ably assisted in the instruction this year by Lieutenant Klepinger and Miss Helen Franke. The local American Legion post will collaborate with the college in sponsoring one of their best programs of the year at Armistice Day, Nov. 11. Colonel W. S. Pritchard of Birmingham, renowned physician and department commander, is to be the chief speaker. The full details of the program have not been worked out, but there will be other attractions besides Col. Pritchard's talk. Announcements will be made later. Maj. G. H. Franke has been appointed by Col. Pritchard to serve on a national defense committee. Maj. Franke has been commander of the local post, and served in the same battalion with Col. Pritchard during the war. The state American Legion has planned its full program for the year according to Maj. Franke. The chief state-wide objective is to "secure legislation that will classify education as a primary function of the state." LEE COUNTY FAIR POSTPONED; TO BE HELD OCTOBER 16 Postponement Made Upon Request Of Lanette Post Of American Legion DUNCAN IS SPEAKER AT KIWANIS MEETING The Lee County Fair scheduled to be held at Opelika Oct. 9-13 has been postponed until Tuesday, Oct. 16. This action was announced by the officials, of the fair Saturday, Oct. 6. The postponement was made because of a request from the La-indicated that they will attend the banquet on the evening of October 16. nette Post of the American Legion. This Lee County Fair is the first one to be held since 1930, so the officials are planning one of the largest ever to be held. The agriculture, school and community exhibits, combined with the free act of daring performers who even risk their lives to thrill the crowd, are the chief attractions planned. On the opening day, next Tuesday, Oct. 16, all ladies will be admitted free. Wednesday, Oct. 17, will be School Day, when all Lee County schools will be given a partial holiday. Students are urged to have their Glomerata pictures made by appointment. The Letty Ross District, United Daughters of the Confederacy will convene at the Auburn Methodist Church Friday morning at ten o'clock.

He said that the Auburn team played an excellent game, having made remarkable improvement since the Oglethorpe-Au-burn game on week before.

In the fourth act when Tartuffe appears for the first time, the scene becomes somber and seems to foretell of coming events. A snake is curled about the wondow frame; and as Tartuffe gains what he is after in the fifth act, the snake is seen to cover the entire window. All in all the play is tense and moments of suspense are frequent. A great handicap of the Players in past years has been the lack of suitable curtain in Langdon Hall, but that has been remedied this year by the addition to the equipment of a new cur'tain.

Auburn threw a scare into the New Orleans fans on two occasions and demonstrated that defensively the Tigers are adequately fixed this season. The biggest trouble with Auburn Saturday was little Monk Simons, who was the power that was personally responsible for Tulane's first touchdown and who indirectly started the drive that netted the second marker for the Greenies. Simons accounted for the first touchdown, after a fumble had given Tulane the ball on Auburn's 22-yard line and three plays had been complete failures, by virtue of a beautifully executed fake pass that effectively deceived the Auburn line and gave Simons an opportunity to do a fancy job of running in stepping over the goal line for the initial score of the game. Simons kicked goal for the extra point. The second Tulane drive resulting in a score in the third period, started when Simons trotted 26 yards down the east side of the field to get the ball out of its position deep in Green territory and on the Plainsman 37- yard stripe. Two line attempts by speady Bucky Bryan netted exactly no yards for the Greenies, but a triple pass on the third down, Rodrigues being the final recipient of the ball, carried the Green Wave within strilf-ing distance of the Tiger fifteen. Three attempts through the line failed but Simons again took the initiative in the crisis and flipped a well-placed pass to Hardy over the Auburn goal. The try for the extra point was blocked by Haygood Paterson. Auburn's biggest scoring threat was made in the last period after a series of line plays with Mitchell carrying the brunt of the running attack took the ball to the Tulane eight-yard line. Two line plays and two passes netted one yard to discount the Tiger opportunity. The Auburn line played exceptionally well in holding the fleet Tulane backs to 11 first downs from scrimmage. After a succession of apparently unstoppable line plays had carried the ball from the Tulane forty to the Auburn four, the Plainsmen buckled down and hurled the Greenies for a net loss of five yards in three plays. The final try for Tulane was unsuccessful as a pass was knocked down over the goal. Mitchell played his third game in a Tiger uniform in great fashion as he did most of the running and punting for Auburn. The only blot on his record was a costly fumble that paved the way for the first Tulane score. He and Blake averaged 38 yards per kick. Joe Stewart started the game as Mitchell's mate at the other half. Cleve Brown, a veteran of three campaigns, opened his first game Saturday and displayed an excellent knowledge of field generalship; Aubrey Hill replaced him the last quarter. The other Auburn backs, Blake, Huie, Kilgore and Whitten looked good but the entire backfield was a little slow in coming up to support the line. In the line Walter Gilbert and Barney Musgrove both turned in convincing performances at center, literally covering the battle front. Musgrove's outstanding play was the nailing of (Continued on Page 4) MANY PICTURES ARE TAKEN FOR 1934 YEARBOOK Bruce Announces That Photographer Will Be Here Only Few Days More WORK UNDERWAY Glomerata Will Contain Several New Features; To Be Novel Yearbook Interesting Facts Are Deduced In City After Recent Heavy Rainfall AL *B%rm POCY - AUBUK* Frank Gantt, who has been playing center, has been shifted to guard in effort to bolster offense. PROGRAM PLANNED BY LOCAL LEGION Auburn Post Of American Legion To Give Events Here On November 9—Roe Armistice Day program, sponsored by the local American Legion post and the college, will be held Thursday, Nov. 8, instead of Nov. 11. The change has been made because Armistice Day comes on Sunday this year, while Thursday is a regular drill day for R.O.T.C. Col. Pritchard of Birmingham will be principal speaker at the celebration. A parade will begin at "Gasoline Corner", led by the college band, and end at Bullard Field when an R. 0. T. C. review will take place. A barbecue dinner will be on sale at 50 cents per plate. Col. Pritchard is state commander of the American Legion. He spoke in Opelika recently, and is said to be an interesting and forceful speaker. Other visitors from over the state are expected to be here Nov. 8 as guests of the American Legion. Entertainment, membership and Armistice Day committees were selected by the Legion at its meeting Monday night at the student recreation center. A membership drive will be launched soon with the enrollment of every veteran in this vicinity as a goal. It was pointed out at the meeting that the Legion is the only organization existing for the veterans alone. Last year Auburn placed third in the statewide membership contest. Tommy Atkins entertained the members Monday night with sleight-of- hand tricks and vocal numbers. Thirteen legionnaires were present. Duncan Is Speaker At Kiwanis Meeting Dr. L. N. Duncan, extension service director and member of the administrative committee of the Alabama Polytechnic Institute, told the Auburn Kiwanis Club Monday about the origin, the aims, and the work of the land-grant colleges in the United States. He said that these institutions were a result of a strong demand from people in all walks of life for higher education to assist them in their problems. The speaker said that the first act approved by congress for creating a land-grant college in each state in the union was vetoed by President Buchanan. Advocates of the bill presented their case, he explained, to Abraham Lincoln who was then candidate for president. Mr. Lincoln assured them that he expected to be elected president and promised to sign a similar bill if congress would approve, which was done in 1862. "These land-grant colleges", said Mr. Duncan, "now constitute a substantial portion of our American system of higher education. They have (Continued on Page 4) Will Bruce announced yesterday that many pictures for the 1934 Glomerata have been taken and that this part of the work on the annual will be completed soon. Students are reminded that the photographer will be here only a few days more and those who haven't had their picture made are requested to do so within the next week. Bruce said that many students who requested that their photos be placed on their respective fraternity and sorority panels have failed to call by the Glomerata office and pay the regular fifty cent charge for carrying the pictures on the panels. He said that pictures of those who do not pay this fee will not be carried on the organization panels. Work on all sections of the book has been planned and will get underway within a few days. The heads of the Glomerata staffs have issued a call for students who are interested in working on the annual to call by the Glomerata office. Bruce announced that the names of staff* members would not be released until both staffs have been completed. This year's yearbook will be different and unique in many respects. A number of marked changes have been planned, some of which will not be disclosed until date for issuance of the book. A larger athletic section and a novel beauty section are two of the changes to be made. Bob Klein, editor, has not announced whether or not the Glomerata will sponsor another "Miss Auburn" contest, but a statement to the effect that such a contest will be held is expected in a few days. The Snapshot section of the book will be larger and will contain pictures of many phases of Auburn campus life, rather than any particular season of campus activities. Work on the fraternity section is well underway and Bruce stated that an increase in the number of pictures carried on these organization's panels has been noted. Copy for the new edition of the book will be ready for Benson Printing Company, of Nashville, Tenn., within the near future. Old Mother Nature can really out-do man when it comes to doing things in a big way. Take for instance last Thursday and Friday when 3.16 inches of rain fell in Auburn. As far as heavy rains go, that is nothing to brag about, yet at the same time it is enough for one to deduce some interesting facts. One inch of rain on a level acre of ground equals a little more than 100 tons of water, and 3.16 inches would come to about 319 tons per acre. There are 1120 acres in Auburn. In other words Auburn received just about 357 thousand tons of water last Thursday and Friday. That would be a little less than 715 million pounds, which would be the same as 11 million cubic feet. If all this water were put in a container one foot square, the container would have to be about 2000 miles high to hold it all. Believe it or not. FORESTRY COURSE IS OFFERED HERE Prof. D. J. Weddell is New Instructor In Forestry Course; Enrollment For Class Begins Impressive Send-Off Is Planned For Team A Mass Meeting concluded with a parade tomorrow night at 7:15 will be the send-off for the team to Baton Rough to play L. S. U. Head Cheerleader Prewitt is particularly anxious for all students to essemble by 7:15 so that the "old fashioned pep fest will get underway before the parade, and so that the procession can get started on time. "This will be a chance to show the team just what a real send-off can be like. I am anxious that the parade be as effective as possible," said Prewitt. "We will get together at Langdon Hall and form the procession there. Then led by the Band we will march through town to the station and finish with the songs and yells there. With the Band furnishing the music all that the students will have to furnish will be the songs and the yells; so I want everybody out." The Team will leave on the Piedmont Limited at 7:30 for the second game in Louisiana this season. After the showing of the team last Saturday spirit and enthusiasm for the approaching game has run high and the pep fest promises to be a demonstration of real "Auburn Spirit". Indications are that the pep rally will be one of the largest and most impressive of the year. Beginning with the current session the Alabama Polytechnic Institute is offering courses in forestry to train students for various work in forestry in Alabama and other states. This instruction will be given by Professor Donald James Weddell of Michigan and Florida who has arrived in Auburn and assumed his new duties. The plan, as announced by Dr. John J. Wilmore, chairman of the administrative committee, and Dean M. J. Funchess of the school of agriculture, is to offer a degree course in forestry as one of the several courses in the school of agriculture. Professor Weddell is in the department of horticulture. Arrangements are being made for freshmen this year to elect forestry, and several new students in agriculture have indicated their intention to do this. Courses in forestry—as announced by Professor Weddell—include acquaintance with different trees, studies of the growth of trees, management, tree mensuration information, uses of timber and other subjects required for thorough training in forestry. Professor Weddell came to Auburn from Florida where for two years he has been employed by the state forestry service. He received his B. S. degree from Michigan State College in 1928 and his M. S. from the same institution in 1932. From the date of his first graduation he has been employed continuously in forestry work or the study of forestry. He spent one year with Goodman Lumber Company in Wisconsin, a portion of one year with the parks development in Detroit, Mich., and nine months with a company of landscape engineers, after which he did research work at Michigan State College. Leaving there he went to Florida where he resigned to come to Auburn. Pharmacy Society Reorganized Here The Pharmaceutical Society has been reorganized this year after an interval of two years in which the society was inactive. The reorganization meeting was held Monday, October 24. Officers selected for the coming year are: J. R. Smith, president; V. R. Mc- Collum, vice-president; Miss McCol-lough, secretary, and Mr. Kynard, parliamentarian. Professors Blake, Nickel, and Hargreaves are honorary members. The program for Monday, October 8, included a talk "The Hall of Science at the World's Fair" by Professor Nickel, and a discussion of the possibility of organizing a chapter of the American Pharmaceutical Society. "TARTUFFE" TO BE ENACTED BY GROUP TONIGHT Play Will Be First To Be Produced By Players Here This Season FINE CAST Considered One Of Best Plays To Be Enacted By Local Actors By Doug Wallace The Auburn Players will stage their first production of the year tonight at 8:15 P. M. in Langdon Hall. Presented will be "Tartuff", a five act play by Moliere, being done by the players as a tragedy. Adult admission will be fifteen cents. "Tartuffe" is considered by many critics of drama as Moliere's masterpiece, having been written by him in 1664 for a series of royal entertainments at Versailles and as an onslaught— most powerful ever attempted on the stage—against the religious hypocrisy of that time. Those whom they play assaulted were able to prevent its being given in Paris for several years. Professor Telfair Peet has rewritten the play as a tragedy, adding a definite touch of impressive-ness to the entire production. Children are not invited to the performance. Moliere is thought to be next to Skakespeare as one of the greatest dramatists that the world has ever known. Whereas, Shakespeare did not limit his writings to England, Moliere was essentially a Frenchman and wrote his plays for the French people and more often for the royal court. It is conceded that Moliere is the greatest of all comedy writers. Jimmy Lovelace, who filled a major role in the production of "Ultima Thule" last spring, will play the part of Tartuffe, assisted by Jewel' Martin as Elmire. Franklin Woodruff, a veteran of the Auburn stage, will be seen as Orgon, husband of Elmire and father or Mariane, with whom Tartuffe has fallen in love. The part of Mariane will be played by Sue Morton. Other characters in the play are Dr. Walston as Mrs. ^Pernelee, Velma Blanton as Dorine, R. J. Wood as Cleante, L. Brown as Velere, Bill Guilford as Damis, and W. Manry as the officer. Many of the above have had experience on the amateur stage and are well qualified for their respective parts in "Tartuffe". In the first act the scolding that Mrs. Pernelee is very adept at giving to every member of the family is quite amusing. In that act and the others following the mention of Tartuffe between centain members of Orgon's household is frequent as are the opinions of him, who is plotting all the while as to how he will gain his ends. Early in the play it becomes evident that Tartuffe is after the love of Mariane. But Orgon, her father, has already given her hand to Cleante, Mariane's suitor. In the fourth act Orgon suddenly realizes to his dispair that Tartuffe has at last -become the master and that he will have his way (Continued on Page 4) Large Crowd Attends Meeting Of A. S. M. E. Dean Wilmore, Professor Hixon, Professor Elizondo, and a large crowd of students were present at the third meeting of the A. S. M. E. Professor Elizondo discussed the relation of Latin-America to the United States and Professor Hixon gave the second installment of his talk on Practical Photography. Suggestions for several talks for future meetings were given. t The purposes of the society are to advance mechanical engineering on the campus, to provide a medium of contact between professional engineers and students and to place the professional end of engineering before the students. While the society is primarily for students of mechanical engineering all students of aeronautical engineering are urged to attend the next meeting scheduled for October 28.

While in Chicago the Auburn representatives to the convention will stay at the Bismarck Hotel, N.C.P.A headquarters. The program for the three sessions includes several outstanding features. Mayor Edward J. Kelly and Dr. Francis V. Coccoran, president of De- Paul University will be speakers at the welcome luncheon, which is to be held tomorrow at noon. Prof. Victor R. Portmann, of the Kentucky School of Journalism, will also appear on the program that afternoon. Friday and Saturday will be taken up for the most part in round table discussions. The organization of staffs, news coverage, typography and make-up, and individual pages will be given major consideration in the editorial sessions. The business round table program will include discussions «f laying out advertisement, advertising that serves, educating the potential business manager, office practices of business managers, circulation plans, and several other topics. Eugene T. DuPont, sales consultant expert of the Chicago Daily News will speak on "How to Sell Your Paper to Local and National Advertisers". Other featured talkers will be Prof. Harry Franklin Harrington, Dean of the Medill School of Journalism at Northwestern University, who will talk on "The Newspaper' of the Future", and Mr. Charles C. Young-green, vice-president of Reincke-Ellis- Younggreen and Finn, Inc. Social features of the three program include a dance at the Medinah Michigan Avenue Club and a luncheon at Marshall Field and Company. In (Continued on Page 4) Recreation Program Be Tried In Opelika Opelika has been selected as one of the ten cities in Alabama in which the American Legion-Benarr MacFad-den recreation program will be tried out. The second meeting was held last Thursday in Palmer Hall. Alabama is the first state in which this recreation program is to be tried, and if successful it will be extended to cover the entire nation. Equipment is to be furnished, and instructors are to devote one day a wegk in each city. This movement is being sponsored by Benarr MacFadden, wealthy publisher of Physical Culture, who is nationally known for his interest in the physical development of boys. LEFT SUNDAY Important Issues Will Be Discussed At Three Day Session At Stevens Institute The Auburn chapter of Tau Beta Pi will be represented at the national convention of that society in New York City October 11-13 by Linwood Funchess, president of the local group. Funchess left the city Sunday afternoon for the 33rd annual session and will stay at Columbia University while in New York. The Tau Beta Pi chapters at Columbia, New York University, Brooklyn Poly, and Stevens Institute will act as hosts to the visiting delagates. In an interview with a Plainsman reporter Funchess stated that several major questions which have been before the fraternity for the past few months will be discussed at business session, which are to be held at Steven Institute. The Student Loan Plan, codification and revision of Tau Beta Pi laws, and consideration of petitions from several engineering societies which are now operating as local organizations will come in for much discussion, Funchess stated. Besides the business sessions of the fraternity several other features will be given for the entertainment of visiting Tau Betas. A sight-seeing trip of New York City, a formal dance at the Columbia University Faculty Club, a banquet at the same club, and possibly a trip through Radio City Rockefeller Center are the major entertainment features of the program. Several outstanding engineers who hold membership in Tau Beta Pi will be featured in speeches at business sessions at the convention. Among this number will be Mr. P. W. Ott, brother of Captain E. S. Ott, who was instructor in Military Science and Tactics here for several years, national president of the organization. The local chapter of Tau Beta Pi is recognized as one of the most active groups in the national. Last year Auburn was represented at the national convention in Chicago by William Beck. Auburn High Gridmen Meet Roanoke Friday Lee County High School's strong football team will meet one of its most dangerous threats of the season when the Auburn boys clash with the Roanoke High School aggregation Friday. The game will be called at 3 o'clock, on the old high school football field. Neither Auburn nor Roanoke has been defeated or scored upon during the present season. Each has met what was considered a strong foe, and each has triumphed by a score of 10 to 0. The local team defeated Columbus High, while Roanoke downed Chambers County High. Coach Fowler of Auburn believes he has the strongest team that has played for Lee County in several years, and has prophesied that the Roanoke game will be the best of the season. Admission will be 15 and 25 cents. Bobby Wilson, Auburn's star half back and punter, suffered a broken rib in the Columbus game and will not play. Starting for Auburn will be Whittle and Wild, ends; Newton and Smith, tackles, Jones and Rew, guards; Wright, center; Trotter and Fowler, halves; Ham, fullback; and Powell, quarter. Whatley, star basketball player and triple threat man, will alternate with Powell at quarter; Chrietzberg, brother of Will Chrietz-berg, will see service at center. Others likely to play are Ellis and Howard, guards; Watkin at end; and Hammock at fullback.

THE FRATERNITY LEACH With "rush week" now only a memory, the fraternity pledge is beginning to form his habits of conduct for his college life. May he not allow himself to be classed as a large number of his older fraternity brethren—as nothing more thap a "fraternity leach". This type of student is one who comes to college with but one aim and that to "make" a fraternity. After he has made one he is perfectly satisfied. The fraternal parasite does absolutely nothing. He is content to sit back and rest on the prestige which he gained when he was pledged to a fraternity. He has no time for activities— there are too many good shows j to attend. His studies worry him only to the extent of his passing them. He gives nothing to his fraternity but expects the fraternity to give him everything. The only honors he receives are those which he gets purely and simply through his fraternity membership. He is a non-entity. In other words, he takes everything from the fraternity and gives nothing in return. Instead of helping his chapter his actions usually bring disgrace to the group. He is a hypocrite. He delights in dominating the freshmen, and takes great pleasure in telling them what they must do to help the fraternity. He makes a fine first appearance through his dress and his hearty attitude. But after "rush week" he is hardly ever heard except when mid-semester grades are posted. His membership is a curse to any fraternity. The sooner fraternity members and pledges realize this truth the sooner fraternity membership will carry something besides a social stamp. However, fraternities must remember that the pledge is not entirely responsible for his habits. After all, pledges usually do that which the chapter requires of them. Mid-semester grades will soon be compiled. Those pledges who have been left on their own hook will make deficient grades. These freshmen will have realized the lack of interest of those who courted their good opinion at the first of the year. Naturally they will not have struggled for the coveted average as they would have if some means had been used to tie them closer to the chapter. I So it's a fifty-fifty proposition. Through cooperation the pledge will get much from his fraternity affiliation and the fraternity will be proud to call so and so a pledge. In a few weeks pledges will know how much good they are doing their fraternity and the fraternity will know whether or not it has helped the pledge. If, at that time, the results are not what we think they should be let both parties determine to combine their efforts in doing their part for a better fraternity. LISTEN, PROPAGANDISTS! Those Republican propagandists who have so violently attacked the New Deal policy of helping the American farmer should familiarize themselves with the situation in Japan before they hurl nasty epithets at Roosevelt's efforts again. Conditions among the Japanese farmers have grown rapidly worse, and rumblings of discontent have been heard. Silk is the money crop of Japan. The annual production is about one billion pounds. Costs of production average about 3.25 yen per eight pounds. In 1927 and 1928 the market price for silk was about 11 yen per eight pounds, and the farmer's income from this source was over one billion yen. But for the year 1932-1933 prices were under three yen per eight pounds. On silk alone the farmers lost about one hundred million yen. In addition, the cost of rice, the most popular food of Japan, has risen. The situation has become so bad that numerous delegations have gone to Tokyo asking that a special session of the Diet be called to aid the farmers. Instead of attempting to help them, as the New Deal has done, Japanese government officials have done nothing more than listen politely to the delegations. The American farmers' plight is not nearly as serious as that of Japanese farmers, but the government has been working day and night in an attempt to help the agriculturists of this nation. Yet they have received more criticism than they have praise for their efforts. Whether or not the AAA helps the American farmer it was at least formed with that purpose in mind, while Japan has done nothing to help the farmers of that nation. STRUGGLE FOR SEA POWER In a few months the eyes of the entire world will once more be diverted to a naval conference. The "big five"—Great Britain, Japan, United States, France, and I t a l y - will be thrown at each other's throats again through the medium of what looks like another farcical argument over naval disarmaments. So far as the naval problem is concerned from this corner it seems like the real argument over rationing battleship tonnage should be left up to Great Britain, Japan, France, and Italy. For the United States to take a very active part in the disarmament conference would be foolish. The naval policy of the United States is liable to bewilder the foreign observer. He is intelligent enough to realize that a nation with an immense seaboard fronting two oceans and a foreign trade to the expansion of which there is no visible limit, must of necessity have a first class navy. Nevertheless, it is true that the United States, if called upon to state its reasons for wanting a large navy, would have to fall back upon academic rather than concrete principles. Separated from Europe and Asia by the width of oceans, it is in no direct danger of attack on a serious scale. The Phillipines are a dangerous liability so long as they remain under the United States flag but after they become independent and our Asiatic squadron is withdrawn, this country will have an invulnerable defense. Then, why shouldn't the United States view the development of British, Japanese, French, and Italian sea power with calm and detachment? t MOVIES The film version of "Treasure Island" which we enjoyed Sunday has received, so we hear, the English and therefore the ultimate stamp of approval. No doubt this fact suggests to many book lovers the names of some of their characters and stories which might be very enjoyable on the screen. Personally, we would travel a long way to see an authenic portrayal of Sir Arthur Conan Doyle's "Sig Nigel", with possibly Leslie Howard playing the title role supported by Wallace Beery as "Simon". A good blood curdler and at the same time something "different" would be the dramatization of Jack London's "The Star Rover". A film which could be altogether stupendous and stand a fair chance of being colossal would be "The Count of Monte Cristo" (not to be confused with Paramount's "Countess of Monte Cristo"). IDLE EMS Your editor and business manager are off to Chicago to attend a convention of the Associated Collegiate Press and the National College Press Association . . . We hope to profit by our trip and return with some new ideas which we expect to use in serving you to the best of our ability throughout this year. Have you had your Glomerata picture made? . . . if you haven't don't forget to keep your appointment with the photographer. The Auburn Players are presenting their first production of the year tonight in Langdon Hall . . . "Tartuffe" is the name of the play and was re-written by Prof. Peet . . . It is good, don't miss it. We have a hunch that Auburn will lick L. S. U. this weekend . . . they're getting better every game. Now that Joe and Knobby are getting their money we feel much better over the situation in Hangoveria. Now that the general strike has ended in Cuba we are wondering who will strike next. . . . It wouldn't seem right if we couldn't read in the dailies about somebody striking . . . Funny why Uncle Sam goes to great expense to buy natty uniforms for his R. O. T. C. laddies and then the trousers legs have pistol bottoms. There will be plenty of dancing this weekend, what with three dances Friday night and one Saturday night . . . this social life! IN THE MEANTIME By Darn 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. * * * * AS I SIT here thinking of something to write my mind reviews some of the happenings of the opening dances. First the 'Auburn Knights" could have done a much better job of making music than did the orchestra obtained by the Social Committee. There was, also, quite • a bit of criticism of the treatment received by a few of last year's seniors, at the hands of the social committee. It seems that several members of Scabbard and Blade were invited to the Saturday morning dance, but when they arrived at the Gym they were told that the social committee had struck their names from the "list". This same procedure was repeated at the Blue Key and at Tau Beta Pi dances. How long will the organizations on this campus tolerate such an injudicious policy? Will they continue to be exploited in such a manner? No! The organizations on this campus are a little too wise to be "gyped" in such a manner. It therefore behoves each organization to take action about this at once. * * * * COURTESY—at one time—was synonymous with the name "Auburn". When one student met another on the street, whether it was day or night, he spoke. To you, the' older students here, have you noticed any change on the campus? sHave you been guilty of speaking to some of our "first year men" and having them (using the common term) snoot you? What has become of the courtesy that at one time prevailed here? Will we succumb to the practices of other institutions or will we remain democratic as we have been heretofore? You, older men, it is up to you to see that this tradition is upheld. * * * * TO MY GOOD FRIEND and colleague . . . . in my first column, I did not mention the name of the vocalist in question, because the man in question is a very fine fellow. It is the voice which I criticized. I believe that the man in question considers me one of his friends, surely, I consider him as such. Accordingly, you will see that instead of helping matters, you have dabbled in something of which you know little. As for your statement, that you have never heard criticisms of the voice in question, I refer you to Benson's some mealtime. Just watch the expressions of some of the diners. * * * * CONGRATULATIONS to Cecil Strong for his very enlightening letter to the editor of The Plainsman. It was with great pleasure that I read his letter. I agree with Cecil that a great deal of the animosity between Alabama and Auburn is caused by sheer ignorance. If this subject was taken into consideration by some group here I am sure that some suitable terms could be arrived at, and the road would be paved for the committee of "Legionnaires" to proceed with their plans to bring the two schools together in a football game. Before Auburn and Alabama will play a football game there will necessarily have to be some kind of agreement between the two student bodies. * * * * POETRY—With the last issue of the "Plainsman" comes the announcement that 1728 students are enrolled in school. Surely there must be a few of these students who are poetically inclined. Since we do not have a literary magazine on the campus to which efforts could be submitted, wquld it not be fitting for the editor of the "Plainsman" to set aside a poetry column for the publishing of such student poems as he should see fit. To start things off I would like to submit a poem by a former student who has had several poems published in The Plainsman several years ago under the pen name of "Redlig". MY IDEAL When the cups are filled with licker, and the flasks are passed around, And all my pals are going on a spree; I would like to take the licker, forget, and swig it down, But a picture on my desk is watching me. When my buddies all start going to a questioned part of town, And my reason's in a whirl and stir; I am tempted, nearly tempted, but then I say "thumbs down" When I stop a bit and think of her. When I get down and out, blue as hell, and feeling like a cur, And, too, I don't exactly give a damn; Nothing better I prefer than for me to think of her Just look what a different man I am. Perfect girl, Ideal girl—in love with another guy—well sung! Oh Painter, things are never what they seem; I let the other guy get stung; And me? I let a woman be a dream. -:- AUBURN FOOTPRINTS * Tsk„ Tsk, what is this we hear about Bill Hughes' actions in New Orleans during the past weekend? * * * * * * Inquiry recerved by Zeke Funchess from Tau Beta Pi convention headquarters : "Dear Delegate, "You will be entertained at a dance while you are in New York attending our convention. Of course, we will provide you with a date. In an effort to please such a big shot as you we are sending out the following inquiry to determine what kind of girl you like. What type of girl do you prefer to take to the dance: Please check— Redhead Large Blonde Pretty Brunette Ugly Small - - . - - - Large eater - - - - Medium - - - - - Small eater - Funchess checked "red head", large", "ugly", and "small eater". He explained to the editor of Footprints that he felt at home with a girl who had the first three qualifications, and preferred a girl with small appetite since the local members of Tau Beta Pi wouldn't give him enough money to feed one who ate a lot. * * * * * * Cecil Strong: "How do the new co-eds look?" Walter Brown: "Right past me". * * * * * * John said he thought the tramp at the back door of his cafe was trying to reduce when he said that he hadn't eaten in three days. * * * * * * The freshman who went to the war office in search of the key to the parade ground was certainly misinformed . . . imagine his embarrassment when he learned that the Cadet kept it. * * * * * * Joe Purvis is back with us again this week. He pitched for the Tigers in Sunday's game with the Cardinals. The first ball he threw was a slow ball. The game was called on account of darkness. * * * * * * Those who live in the vicinity of Bullard Field have probably heard quite a bit of shouting lately. Don't become disturbed. It's only Colonel Hughes practicing giving commands. His voice broke the other day and drill was dispensed with until freshman cadets could find it and patch it together again. * * * * * * It is reported that "Huey" Overton is autographing grapefruit for his many admirers now. * * * * * * Joe just came in the office and told us of his running the 100 in 8 flat yesterday. He seemed a bit disappointed over his performance, and stated that he would have done better had he not broken his leg at the start. * * * * * * Word from Joe Ledbetter tells us that he is now a prominent alumnus and that he is undecided whether he will run for governor of South Carolina or get a job working. CABBAGES AND KINGS By B. S. WITHOUT THE PALE University of Minnesota.—The University R. O. T. C. unit will be withdrawn from the campus entirely, unless credit arrangements for the course are put on a basis more satisfactory to the war department, according to a communication from Washington. The War department gives the University until February 1 to make a change. If, at that time, no agreement is reached, Minnesota will see the end of its military force— unless the college decides to continue one without federal help. As one officer in the Military headquarters expressed it, "the present credit setup is a sort of hodge podge affair" with some cadets getting three times as much credit as classmates who sit beside them in the same courses of study. The "hodge podge" system is a result of the policy followed immediately after compulsory drill was abolished last June. A committee was named to formulate a policy, giving college heads most of the power to make their own credit rulings for students under their jurisdiction. * * * * Georgia Tech.— Loyal Tech graduates and supporters all over the South and undergraduate students will be given the opportunity to attend out-of-town games on Tech's schedule this fall. The railroads will cooperate to the extent of running excursions and special trains to Durham, N. C, for the Duke game on October 13; to Ann Arbor, Michigan, for the Michigan State game on October 20; to New Orleans, La., for the Tulane game on October 27; to Gainesville, Fla., for the Florida game on November 24, and to Athens, Ga., for the Georgia game on December 1. Already parties are being formed all over the country to attend these games. Mr. J. E. Davenport, a graduate of Tech in the class of 1908, together with the president of the Michigan-New York Alumni Club, is making arrangements for a party of Tech alumni to charter several Pullman cars for the Ann Arbor trip. * * * * Florida State College for Women.—Rug-giero Ricci, violin prodigy, Kathryn Meisle, contralto, and Ted Shawn, dancer, have been secured to appear this year in artist series of programs at Florida State, according to the announcement made public by Ella Scoble Opperman, dean of the school of music, who is chairman of the music committee. The first feature which is scheduled to take place on November 8 will introduce to the students at Florida State the eleven-year- old prodigy, Ruggiero Rucci, who has been appearing with the Boston Symphony Orchestra this season. Ricci is considered as a great artist by critics, not only from the standpoint of his youth, but also for his skill in interpretation. * * * * University of Georgia—Controversy over the right of fraternities to have women guests in the chapter houses ended Thursday with the approval by the i University Social Life committee of a new set of rules drawn up by the Pan-Hellenic council, whereby fraternities agree to maintain a chaperone approved by the administration in the houses at all times. The new rules also provided that each fraternity shall have a house mother approved by the administration, a faculty advisor to act as representative to the Social Life committee, and that each chapter set aside a period of study during the evenings of the week.' * * * * Duke University—The Duke Chronicle, Duke University newspaper, has signed a contract with United Press for rights to its world wide service. The contract was to become effective yesterday. With 53 branch offices in the United States and bureaus in the leading cities and capitals of the world, the United Press will give the Chronicle complete coverage of state, national, and foreign news. The releases will be handled through the North Carolina state bureau at Raleigh. The Chronicle is one of the college newspapers which have joined the United Press within the last year. The UP is making a special effort to familiarize student readers and journalists with its service. * * * * University Alabama—Miss Mary Harmon Black will serve during the coming year as Honorary Cadet Colonel of the University R. O. T. C. unit, while Misses Grace Manderville, Lola Wurtle, and Helen Burns have been chosen as Honorary Lieutenant Colonels. The honorary officers will be presented to the cadet corps at the annual Homecoming Parade, which will be held on November 11. At this time Major General George Van Home Moseley, Atlanta, commander of the fourth corps area, will review the corps of cadets. * * * * Birmingham-Southern. — Apparently angered because the September 21 issue of the Gold and Black reported to the student body proposed changes in the honor system, Guthrie Smith, president of the student body, denounced the editor of the publication in a secret meeting held last Tuesday by the student senate and a faculty committee. Meeting behind closed doors the senate and the committee were discussing proposed changes or amendments to the honor system when Guthrie Smith broke into a long tirade against the publication. 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. PRESIDENT and Mrs. Roosevelt have been censored because beer was served to young people at a Christmas dance at the White house. This action was taken several days ago by the board of temperance, prohibition and public morals of the New Jersey Conference of the Methodist Episcopal Church. It is not unreasonable to believe that the President might next be censored for using Listerine or Lavoris. They contain alcohol. Or perhaps a similar temperance and morals board will request Mrs. Roosevelt to wear stockings while swimming. Even the thought of such an expose of the extremities of our first lady must undoubtedly shock the sense of decency of these pure and noble souls. Mr. and Mrs. Roosevelt, in the minds of their untainted censurers, are probably "sots" and degenerates. They are ill bred, low-brow, and entirely lacking in morals; they are not fit examples for young people. Our sons and daughters must be barred from attending any future White House Dances. The very atmosphere, smacks of beer. The Methodist Committee further said "how it hurts the whole make-up of a true citizen to read in bold headlines that beer floods the White House". Is it too late, my fellow citizens, to save the president and his lady from utter depravity? Shall the White House be completely inundated? Is it impossible to train them to follow the narrow path and tread in the foot steps of our exhalted, honorable and upright "board of temperance, prohibition, and public morals"? There is need of haste, my friends. On to the White House! It * * * TO THE IMMORTAL THREE who read this column . . . consider my dilemma; Ye Editor wants copy within the hour. All I have at present is the above paragraph, a present of Mr. Jeremiah Jutting-ham, and a bunch of tag ends that were cut from the last two columns. Now I must fill this blank middle space . . . with what? Of course I might discuss the presidential vacancy here, but that might cause the editor to be forced to postpone his trip to Chicago and spend the weekend explaining to college authorities that he was not entirely crazy, but had just been lax in the copyreading of the efforts of one of his mentally incompetent columnists . . . Or perhaps I might discuss, in a general fashion, of course, the commercialization of college athletics, with the sly hint that the death of the famous Auburn Spirit is perhaps attributable to this mercenary barrier which our alumni have placed between the men who represent Auburn on the football field and the average student . . . But such a discussion would be futile for two reasons; first, I'm sorely afraid that Au-burnus wouldn't catch the hint, and second, I'm afraid it would be too conducive of apoplexy among various members of the Old Guard here at Auburn . . . and similar excellent reasons can be found for not writing on several subjects which might prove of interest. So I must up and pace the floor and attempt to concentrate on some innocent, inoffensive and conventional subject. An absent look out a window dis-- closes an innocent, inoffensive and most conventional town spread before my eyes . . . but I can't write about the whole town . . . whole bevies of I, I, &C. co-eds are traipsing about the campus . . . but who is the mere man who would dare relegate woman to one papagraph? . . . -Pon my word, here's column's end, and I haven't said anything yet . . . so what? * * * * TAG ENDS—In all due appreciation of the efforts put forth by the Social Committee, and the difficulties that they have encountered, may we ask that they try just a little bit harder to get a first-class orchestra for the Junior Prom . . . And speaking of the dances, the famed Lady of the pugnacious mouth and innumerable freckles was all that half of this column told the other half that she would be . . . Wonder what strides this institution could make under the leadership of an able president . . . said president to be entirely divorced 'from State politics?? A certain assistant librarian received a very stony stare when he appeared amused at one of our most sophisticated co-ed's request for "Treasure Island" . . . . In accordance with the "Regimentation" spirit that is said y to be sweeping the country, I would suggest the organization of the regiment of boot-wearers that infest the campus . . . and any man caught with odor of horse upon his boots is to be fined ten dollars and forced to ride one of the brutes twice around the riding hall. . . . Plea t» Auburnus— please make an effort to remain inaudible throughout the presentation of Tartuffe tonight.

If Your Product Must Weigh Less O x y - A c e t y l e n e w e l d i n g will e l i m i n a t e heavy j o i n t s and give t h r o u g h o u t — g r e a t e r sturdiness with less weight and bulk. By F. J. KING* The trend in modem product design has been trfward lightening weight. Manufacturers wishing to make their metal products lighter are building them of light weight alloys and metals with welded joints. Products so fabricated utilize the superior features of welded j o i n t s to a t t a i n lightness with strength, ruggedness, and attractive appearance. W e l d i n g Is Strong Lightness is gained in welding because each j o i n t is a smooth union of two metal parts into one. No lapping or flanging is needed for making the joint. Corners are not bulky or cumbersome. Invisible seams give a smooth surface for painting and enameling. And in strength t h e joint is 100 per cent efficient—as strong as the metal it joins. BAFFLING CORROSION-resis-tance to the action of salt water can be effected with special alloy metals. Welding is used to give light weight joints in all commercial metals and alloys. I n Modern A u t o m o b i l es In automobiles, for instance, lightness has been attained by designing many motor and body parts for welding. The resulting light weight car has less tire wear, less gas consumption, fewer repairs. Its welded seams have smooth contours and streamlines, offering less wind resistance and providing an even surface for fine finishes. On t h e Airways Safe, speedy flying was next to impossible until the aircraft industry adopted the welded joint for a i r p l a n e fuselage construction. With other means of joining it would hardly be possible to carry a profitable pay-load. Welded light alloy fuel tanks for aircraft are safer, lighter, stronger and more compact. I n the chemical and food industries, also, welding contributes to lighter weight. Light alloy piping andcontainers can be used—welded to give a smooth, even surface inside and out. Welding leaves no rough spots for corrosion or germs to attack. S a v e s T o n s of Weight A prominent example of weight saving is in the use or welded piping on the new treaty cruisers. Reduction in tonnage through the use of welded piping made it possible to mount an additional 8-in. gun and still conform to treaty weight limits. These many cases drawn from actual experience show the advantages of building products from light weight metals and alloys by welding. Welded joints are most efficient and economical for modern metals and designs. F o r T h e Future Industrial executives interested in making their products lighter can obtain further data on the use of welding in their own operations through The Linde Air Products Company. This company, in addition to utilizing the facilities of Union Carbide and Carbon Research Laboratories, Inc., has had wide experience drawn from over 20 years in pioneering and developing oxy-acetylene applications. Advice and assistance to manufacturers on how best to use oxweld-ing and cutting for their needs is available without charge through sales offices of The Linde Air Products Company located in Atlanta, Baltimore, Birmingham, Boston, Buffalo, Butte, Chicago, Cleveland, Dallas, Denver, Detroit, El Paso, Houston, I n d i a n a p o l i s , Kansas City, Los Angeles, Memphis, Milwaukee, Minneapolis, New Orleans, New York, Philadelphia, Phoenix,Pittsburgh,Portland,Ore., St. Louis, Salt Lake City, San Francisco, Seattle, Spokane and Tulsa.

Hugh Rod-gers, a sophomore, who has been coming along rapidly since the opening of the season, also gave a most capable exhibition of tackle technique in Saturday's encounter but not any more than did Haygood Paterson, who started at the other tackle post or Loflin and Tolve, both of whom were formidable linemen Saturday. Captain Mike Welch and Norman Houston, aided by Irving Levi and Sam McCroskey took good care of the guard positions, Captain Welch particularly being a constant threat to ambitions Greenie backs. Alternate-captain Benlnie Penjton proved his right to gridiron honors together with Sophomore Joel Eaves, Mutt Morris and George Strange who assisted him in holding down the wing posts. Morris started the game at right end. Auburn Outing Club Checks Fish Growth The Auburn Outing club has kept an accurate check on the growth of fish planted in Wilmore Dam lake by the state game and fisheries department back in 1927. Since 1929, the records of the club show, the fish have steadily been-gain-ing in size and this year the lake yielded an 8% pound bass, the largest yet taken there. In 1929 the largest fish caught weighed two pounds, 15 ounces. A year later the largest one tipped the scales at three pounds, 14 ounces and in 1931 the prize catch weighed five pounds one ounce. The biggest one in 1932 weighed four pounds and seven ounces and the largest bass taken in 1933 was only one ounce heavier. But this year the scales have been groaning under fish weighing seven pounds, ten ounces; seven pounds, eleven ounces and finally the biggest bass of all.

EIGHT PIECE ORCHESTRA SINGING -:- DANCING C o m i n g "DAMES" Baton Rouge, La., Oct. 9 — Grey matter—that substance that separates the genius from the average tax payer —is a priceless fluid. And Abe Mick-al, Louisiana State's sensational junior quarterback, has a fortune in grey matter. Not only has the Louisiana star more than his share of grey matter between the ears, but he seems to have received a shot in his right foot, right arm and fingers. Mickal, a quiet, reserved and popular Syrian, is one of the leading students attending L. S. U. His scholastic record for the past two years is as brilliant as his gridiron record, which included the title of the "south's best sophomore" in 1933 and 14 consecutive place kicks for extra points. As a sophomore he was a member of the varsity debating team and several honorary societies. Capt. Lawrance (Biff) Jones made good use of Mickal's educated toe and arm last fall and this season he is capitalizing on Abe's mental brilliance by giving his star junior the quarterbacking duties. Mickal's educated throwing arm and his toe turned defeat into ties for L. S. U. in the first two games of the 1934 season. Trailing Rice institute —who defeated Purdue last Saturday —by a 9 to 0 score in the last quarter, Mickal booted 67 yards to the Texans' one-yard line. Rice took an intentional safety, making the score 9-2. Six plays later, with Mickal running four times and passing once, Abe crashed over for a touchdown. But the ball was brought back and another back scored on the next play. Mickal then calmly sent his 15th consecutive place kick through the uprights to tie the score at 9-9. Last Saturday against the "aerial circus"" of Southern Methodist, Mickal completed two long touchdown passes, one netting 36 yards and the other 72, to twice enable L. S. U. to score after the Mustangs had tallied and added the extra point. Mickal's 16th straight goal tied the count at 7-7, while his 17th, scored in the last four minutes of play, made it 14-14. In addition to his two touchdown passes and two extra points, Abe carried the ball twice as often as any other Tiger back and finished with an average gain of three yards per try. Mickal rates not only as a distance kicker—and he has several 70-yard punts to his credit—but he is a great coffin corner kicker. A dangerous safety man gets few chances to return his kicks. Last year in L. S. U.'s game with Tulane, the traditional rival, Mickal threw a touchdown pass and then was called ' upon to kick 13th consecutive extra point. Jinx or no jinx, he booted a "strike" to allow his team to come from behind and save the day with a 7-7 tie. Only three of the ten teams the Tigers played last fall escaped his touchdown passes. And if anyone says, in this part of the woods, that someone is a better player than Mickal, he had better remember "The Virginian" and smile. Burkes Predicts New Buildings In Auburn A new hotel and stadium within the next two years is the prediction of Mr. R. L. Burkes, Auburn real estate dealer. Both Mr. Burkes and Mr. B. C. Pope, another real estate man, claim that the price of real estate in this city has been affected very little by the depression. Auburn has been exceptional in this respect. During the lean years there were no property sacrifices and very few mortgage foreclosures. Desirable building lots on built-up paved streets sell for $1100 up. Home building has fallen off considerably. For several years prior to 1930 from 20 to 30 houses per year were built. Since 1930 the average per year will not run to more than four or five. Rents dropped some during the depression, but at no time have there been many vacant houses. At present seven or eight houses are empty, which is really a small number for a town this size. House owners have never had much trouble in collecting their rents. Mr. Burkes is expecting a building boom during the next year, with probably twenty private homes being constructed. * GUNBY TEACHING LADIES' CLASS IN RIDING THIS YEAR R. O. T. C. Captain Reports Largest Enrollment Since Beginning Of Course Legion Post To Aid In Armistice Fete PLAINSMAN HEADS OFF FOR CHICAGO (Continued from Page 1) addition delegates will be guests of DePaul University at the DePaul- Dayton football game Friday night. One of the most interesting features of the program will be a tour of a Chicago newsplant, which is to be held Friday afternoon. The Plainsman is one of the few southern college newspapers belonging to both the Associated Collegiate Press and the National College Press Association. The sport of horsemanship is Jbe-ing studied and enjoyed by 50 members of the Ladies riding class conducted again this year by Capt. Tom Gunby of the R. O. T. C. staff. This is a record enrollment, popularity of the class having increased Steadily since its beginning several years ago. Some of the members are taking riding for the third year and have developed into accomplished horsewomen. The class is divided into two sections which report for two hours of instruction weekly. Separate instruction is given beginners in each section. Later in the year opportunity for instruction in jumping will be offered those who are advanced in riding, said Captain Gunby. It is expected that another paper chase or drag hunt will be held by the class around Thanksgiving. Last year the chase was held over an interesting 10-mile course. Though definite arrangements have not been made, it is possible that the annual gymkhana will be staged much earlier this year, perhaps near the first of February. Captain Gunby is being ably assisted in the instruction this year by Lieutenant Klepinger and Miss Helen Franke. The local American Legion post will collaborate with the college in sponsoring one of their best programs of the year at Armistice Day, Nov. 11. Colonel W. S. Pritchard of Birmingham, renowned physician and department commander, is to be the chief speaker. The full details of the program have not been worked out, but there will be other attractions besides Col. Pritchard's talk. Announcements will be made later. Maj. G. H. Franke has been appointed by Col. Pritchard to serve on a national defense committee. Maj. Franke has been commander of the local post, and served in the same battalion with Col. Pritchard during the war. The state American Legion has planned its full program for the year according to Maj. Franke. The chief state-wide objective is to "secure legislation that will classify education as a primary function of the state." LEE COUNTY FAIR POSTPONED; TO BE HELD OCTOBER 16 Postponement Made Upon Request Of Lanette Post Of American Legion DUNCAN IS SPEAKER AT KIWANIS MEETING The Lee County Fair scheduled to be held at Opelika Oct. 9-13 has been postponed until Tuesday, Oct. 16. This action was announced by the officials, of the fair Saturday, Oct. 6. The postponement was made because of a request from the La-indicated that they will attend the banquet on the evening of October 16. nette Post of the American Legion. This Lee County Fair is the first one to be held since 1930, so the officials are planning one of the largest ever to be held. The agriculture, school and community exhibits, combined with the free act of daring performers who even risk their lives to thrill the crowd, are the chief attractions planned. On the opening day, next Tuesday, Oct. 16, all ladies will be admitted free. Wednesday, Oct. 17, will be School Day, when all Lee County schools will be given a partial holiday. Students are urged to have their Glomerata pictures made by appointment. The Letty Ross District, United Daughters of the Confederacy will convene at the Auburn Methodist Church Friday morning at ten o'clock.

He said that the Auburn team played an excellent game, having made remarkable improvement since the Oglethorpe-Au-burn game on week before. A poll of the club was taken to ascertain the number who will attend the state Kiwanis convention in Montgomery, October 16-17.

In the fourth act when Tartuffe appears for the first time, the scene becomes somber and seems to foretell of coming events. A snake is curled about the wondow frame; and as Tartuffe gains what he is after in the fifth act, the snake is seen to cover the entire window. All in all the play is tense and moments of suspense are frequent. A great handicap of the Players in past years has been the lack of suitable curtain in Langdon Hall, but that has been remedied this year by the addition to the equipment of a new cur'tain. PAVING COMPLETED Paving has been completed on the stretch of highway between Opelika and Waverly. The work on this project has been rushed, and the highway is now ready for traffic. Part of the crew will continue to work for another {month finishing the shoulders and adding other final touches.
