s Semi-Weekly Plainsman Wednesday Issue Wc\t Auhuvn plainsman Mass Meeting Friday Night TO FOSTER THE A U B U R N S P I R IT VOLUME LVIII AUBURN, ALABAMA, WEDNESDAY, NOV. 14, 1934 NUMBER 20 TIGERS HUMBLE TECH ELEVEN IN THRILLING GAME 0. D. K. WILL SPONSOR HUGE STUDENT RALLY NEXT WEEK Plainsmen Take Advantage Of Early Game Breaks To Score Touchdowns GILBERT STANDS OUT Linesmen Out Rush Tech Forward Wall; Auburn P r e s e n ts Smooth Offense In Victory Mass Meeting Will Be Held In Langdon Hall Friday Night, 8 P. M. The Auburn Tigers capitalized on three early game breaks in Atlanta Saturday to win from a battered Georgia Tech Golden Tornado 18-6. It was the first Conference win for the Tigers in their fifth intra-con-ference contest and the third loss for the Yellow Jackets from the Flats. Auburn displayed aggressive football talent on Grant Field as a powerful line and speedy backfield coordinated to roll up three touchdowns in a weird first half and then settled back and held Georgia Tech scoreless until the closing minutes of the game when a 25-yard slugging penalty set the Tigers back on their own 24 yard marker. Penalties ruined the embattled Plainsmen Saturday as offside penalties prevented one touch-down from being recorded on the Auburn side of the ledger and gave Tech another chance to receive a kick after Roberts had fumbled and Eaves recovered on the Tech 45 for another Auburn "break". It was sheer alertness and undeniable power that beat Tech in Atlanta. Haygood Paterson and Mutt Morris blocked a kick each in the opening half and covered them over the Tech goal for two of the Auburn scores, and Morris recovered a Tech fumble on the Jackets' 37 that paved the way for the second score. A combination lateral pass made a first down on the Tech 25, Karam being the final recipient of the ball. Karam and Tipper collaborated in a pair of hip-shifting exhibitions to make it first down on the eight yard line. Karam continued where he left off a minute before to dash around end after finding an off-tackle slant an impossibility for the Auburn marker. Auburn's most sustained drive was in the second period when, led by Wilton Kilgore on the ground and Bobbie Blake in the air, the Tigers marched down to the one-yard line. Blake's passing on this drive was most satisfactory as he connected five times in as many tries. Two of these heaves were in the neighborhood of twenty yards each. The Auburn backfield got going for the first time Saturday as Tipper, Karam, Kilgore, Blake, and Stewart turned in a most effective offensive game. Johnnie Paterson, Hugh Rod-gers, Mutt Morris, 'Wjalter Gilbert and Joel Eaves in the forewall were all that any line coach ever prays for and their successors were almost as good. Shorty Roberts in the Tech rear works played as gallant a game as (Continued on page 4) New Cross Country Mark Set By C. Pihl Although Auburn's long distance runners bowed to Georgia Tech, Carl Pihl broke the course record in Atlanta last Saturday morning by fully ten seconds. He led the field of runners and covered the 3.6 mile course with a time of 19:33. Georgia Tech triumpted over the Plainsmen, 23-32, in Auburn's opening cross-country run. Carl Pihl, a senior hailing from Montgomery, is one of the best trackman in the country. Ed Gait, also from Montgomery, was the second Auburn man to place, coming in fourth with a time of 20:51. The first ten men to place were Pihl (Auburn), West (Tech), Jones (Tech), Gait (Auburn), Batson (Tech), Rankins (Tech), Chandler (Auburn), Emery (Auburn), Powers (Auburn), and Funchess (Auburn). A mass meeting of all students will be held in Langdon Hall Friday night at 7 o'clock as the pre-game rally before the Florida-Auburn football contest in Montgomery Saturday. Fraternity, dormitory, and boarding house leaders are urged to require all their freshmen to attend the rally Friday night. Head cheerleader Ed Prewitt has stated that he hoped to have a big crowd attend the meeting since new yells and the Auburn Victory Song will be practiced. Cheerleaders will attempt to have the Auburn supporters at the game Saturday sing the new song. Prewitt also stated that a street parade, with the band leading, will be held in Montgomery Saturday morning upon the arrival of the 11 o'clock train. Plans for this feature will be discussed at the mass meeting. All students who make the trip to Montgomery via automobile are urged to be at the Union Station to participate in the parade. Plans for securing materials for the bonfire to be used at the O. D. K sponsored student rally a week from tomorrow night will also be discussed at the mass meeting. CADETS TO STAGE REVIEW THURSDAY Col. Reed Will Be Here For Exercises On Bullard Field Tomorrow Morning Colonel William L. Reed, commander of the Fourth Corp Area, will visit Auburn tomorrow in connection with his annual fall trip of inspection of all R. O. T. C. units within the corp area. A review will be held in his honor at 11 o'clock Thursday on Bullard Field. Col. Reed will arrive in Auburn Thursday morning on the 9:30 train. During his stay' here he will confer with members of the Administrative Committee, visit various R. 0. T. C. units, and will be the guest of the Rotary Club at a luncheon. He will leave Auburn early in the afternoon for Tuskegee, where he will inspect the R. 0. T. C. unit of the Tuskegee Institute. Col. Reed was commissioned a Second Lieutenant of the infantry in 1889, serving throughout his service in the infantry. During the World War he was appointed Colonel, National Army. He went overseas with the 136th Infanrty, and while in France he attended the Command and General Staff School in Langres, France. After returning to the United States he was assigned Chief of Staff, 100th Division, at Fort Worth, Texas. He received his permanent Colonelcy in 1923. He is a graduate of the Infantry and Cavalry Schools, 1904; of the Command and General Staff School, 1924; and is on the General Staff Corp elegible list. Col. Reed was born in New Jersey but was appointed to the United States Military Academy from New York in 1893. Uniform regulation for review will be blouses and white shirts. Bonfire, Program Will Be Presented At Meeting Before Georgia Game A gigantic student rally and bon fire is being planned for Thursday night, November 22 by the local circle of Omricon Delta Kappa. The meeting is planned as a final boost to the football team before the Georgia- Auburn football game in Columbus on November 24. Tentative plans as announced by Don Pierce, president of Omega Circle of O. D. K., call for a huge bon fire somewhere in the vicinity of Drake Field, with members of the coaching staff, the glee club, band, and senior members of the football squad taking part on the program. According to Pierce an amplifying system will probably be installed for the occasion. Bleachers will be erected to accomodate the large crowd of students and townspeople expected to attend the meeting. The rally is planned as a "show of confidence" in the coaching staff and football team. Coaches Meagher, Morgan, Jordon, and Hitchcock will be asked to speak. In addition, Capt. Mike Welch, Alt.-Capt. Bennie Fen-ton, and other seniors on the football squad will make short talks. This is the first bon fire to be held on the campus since the "welcome meeting" staged for Jack Meagher when he came here last spring. It is planned to have pictures taken of the meeting to be used in the Collegiate Digest rotogravure section carried in several hundred college newspapers, and in several state newspapers. After the part of the program which is being planned and sponsored by O. D. K. has been given, the meeting will be turned over to Ed Prewitt and his corps of cheerleaders for a pep meeting. Final plans for the occasion will be announced in next Wednesday's edition of the Plainsman. O. D. K. is making a special effort to take a hand in the revival of the proper Auburn spirit and the meeting is a part of the circle's plans to seek that end. Below are listed the words of the Auburn Victory Song which students are urged to learn: Come on, boys, let's travel; For it is time that we're on our way. Time to hit the gravel; We've got to win that game today. Fight you Auburn Tigers, For the victory. Let them say it! As we play it! We're the roving, fighting Auburn Tigers. 'A' CLUB DANCE SCHEDULED FOR STANDARD CLUB Attractive List Of Sponsors Chosen To Attend Gala Football Dance Saturday KNIGHTS WILL PLAY Many Visitors Expected To Attend Affair After Annual Auburn-Florida Game The old Standard Club building on Montgomery Street will be the scene of the Auburn-Florida "A" Club dance in the capitol city Saturday night. Dancing will begin at nine o'clock and continue until two. Admission will be by script. An attractive coterie of girls have been selected to act as sponsors for the affair, according to Haygood Paterson, president of the "A" Club. The list includes: Emily Hillman, Louise Starling, Evelyn Sledge, Louise Jones, Mary Hall Van Pelt, Lily Barnes Cherry, Scottie Reeves, Monnie Han-non, Beverly Rutter, Emily Thornton, Frances Kimbrough, and Helen Walter. Chaperones for the dance will be Mr. and Mrs. Pop Paterson, Mr. and Mrs. Red Severance, and Mr. and Mrs. J. B. Paterson. Pop Paterson is a former Auburn football player, and he and Severance officiate in several Aubirrn games each season. The Auburn Knights have been engaged to furnish the music for the occasion. The Knights will be making their first appearance in Montgomery this year and they have promised a varied program of the most popular dance tunes. Earl Starnes, director of the orchestra, has announced that he will feature the saxaphone and trumpet sections in novelty arrangements of several numbers. Three no-breaks and several lead-outs will be featured during the course of the dance. A brief intermission is scheduled for around twelve o'clock. Paterson announced that this is the only script dance that will be given in Montgomery Saturday night and that he is planning special features for the entertainment of the guests before and after intermission. Classes Be Excused On Wednesday, 28th The Administrative Committee has announced that classes will be excused for the Thanksgiving holidays at the close of the class on Wednesday, November 28th and will convene the following Monday as usual. Because so many students leave a day or so early before holidays the Committee has declined to grant the extra half-day as has been done in the past. No student is through for the holidays until he has completed all classes on the day preceeding the holiday, and all cuts taken Wednesday will count as double cuts. Low Round Trip Rate To Capitol Announced Extra coaches will be attached to trains going to Montgomery Friday and Saturday to accommodate students who make the Auburn-Florida football game in the Capitol City Saturday. The regular round trip rate of $1.65 will be charged for tickets. Those making the Montgomery trip may leave here on the Friday afternoon or evening and the Saturday' morning trains. The return ticket will be honored on all trains leaving Montgomery Saturday night, Sunday and early Monday morning except on trains 37 and 38. The entire football squad and band will leave on the 9:25 train Saturday morning. The squad will return on the Saturday evening train. TEN STUDENTS ARE ELECTED TO KAPPA DELTA PI-PARRISH DUNCAN ENDORSES RED CROSS ROLL CALL HERE Dr. L. N. Duncan, director of the State Extension Service at Auburn, has given his strong endorsement to the American Red Cross roll call. Howell Cherry, thairman of the Lee County Red Cross chapter, expects results of the impending campaign to be greater than any in the past. According to information released early this week by Kappa Delta Pi, ten students have been elected to that society. Those honored by election to the organization are: Mrs. Grace E. Harris, Auburn; Dorothy Sellers, Birmingham; Leon Hicks, Mary Jim Enloe, Langdale; George W. Ward, Pineapple; James Cooper, Echola; Janetta Sawyer, Auburn; Helen Gardiner, Auburn; J. E. De Vaughn, Deatsville; and Ralph Jones, Collins-ville. Kappa Delta Pi is an honorary educational fraternity that selects its membership either from students in the school of education proper or from students in associated schools that are planning to teach. Before final initiation into Kappa Delta Pi prospective members have to pass a rigid exam and write a short paper on some subject connected with education. Kappa Delta Pi has been active at Auburn for a number of years and is one of the outstanding professional honor societies on the campus. Members are chosen not only on scholarship but on general all-round ability and a marked interest in extra-curricular activities. Evidence of professional promise is also taken into consideration. Officers of Kappa Delta Pi for the current session are Randall Parrish, president; Velma Patterson, vice-president; Mrs. Exa Beck, secretary; and Gordon Fowler, treasurer. NOTICE! There will be a second meeting of all Walker County students in Sam-ford 203 Thursday night at 7 o'clock. Sponsors Dance Saturday Night DURANT'S TALK WELL RECEIVED BY CROWD HERE Noted Philosopher Speaks On "Is P r o g r e s s R e a l ? " In Langdon Hall Last Monday MISS LOUISE JONES has been selected to act as one of the sponsors at the Auburn-Florida football dance at the Old Standard Club building in Montgomery Saturday night. PRESENTS VIEWS Durant Refutes Ideas Of Pessimists In Lecture; Large Crowd Hears Program ELLIS TO ATTEND NATIONAL SESSION DEBATE CONTESTS NOW IN PROGRESS Captain Of Local Company Off To Scabbard And Blade Convention This Week •Frank Ellis left Auburn last Friday night to represent the local company of Scabbard and Blade at the 19th convention of the national military society to be held in Cincinnati, Ohio, from November 15 to 17 inclusive. The University of Cincinnati will act as host for the affair. The convention will open with a smoker Thursday evening at the Neth-erland Plaza Hotel, where delegates will stay and have their business meetings. A ball will be given for the delegates Friday evening with a banquet scheduled for the following night. It is expected that at least one delegate from each of the 78 active companies will be at the convention. This year's conclave marks the thirtieth year of the organization, and is the first time that the meet has been held in the early fall, rather than in the spring. The change in the date was decided upon at the St. Louis convention in 1932 in order to give the active members more benefit of the inspiration derived from these national meetings. Tourney Being Run Off With Many Debates; Team To E n g a g e Millsaps Here Student Tickets Be Sold In Montgomery Student tickets to the Auburn-Florida game in Montgomery Saturday will be sold at Cramton Bowl. Students may purchase tickets for 40 cents and guest tickets for $1.75. The sale of ducats for the attraction will begin at 10 a.m.' Saturday morning at the stadium, thereby enabling those students who make the trip down to Montgomery through the country opportunity to purchase tickets on their way into town. According to the Athletic Department the position of the student ticket booth at the bowl has not been arranged but an announcement giving the location of the booth will be made in Friday's Plainsman. CHEMICAL FARMING TO BE USED SAYS GORMAN Chemical farming may be the salvation of the cotton farmer if changes being suggested now are developed. Francis P. Gorman, president of the foundation for the promotion of chemical farming, suggests that farmers may in the future be made "positive" rather than "negative". The first contest of the freshman debate tournament was held Monday afternoon at four o'clock. The freshman debate question was: "Resolved, That Federal Aid Should Be Granted for the Equilization of Educational Opportunities." Sam Hall and Gates were on the affirmative side, D. C. Smith and A. A. Rich were on the negative. The judges were: Dr. Moore and Professor Medlock of the English department, and Professor Ivey of the History department. The votes cast by the judges were sealed in an envelop and will not be opened until the end of the first round robin of the tourney. The question will be debated over the N. B. C. network Wednesday, November 14, from 3 o'clock until 4 o'clock by a group of leading educators of the United States. The freshman tournament is sponsored by Phi Delta Gamma, national honorary senior forensic fraternity. Suitable prizes will be given to the winners. Continuing the freshman tournament another debate will be held next Monday afternoon at four o'clock in room 301, Samford Hall. A similar tournament for upper-classmen is being sponsored by the Alpha Phi Epsilon, national honorary fraternity. The cups to be awarded the individual winners in the tournament are on display in Jolly's window. The first intercollegiate upperclass-men debate will be held Saturday, November 17, in the Students' Hall. The visiting debating team will be from Millsaps College of Jackson, (Continued on page 4) Beech Accepts Job On Advertiser Staff Gould Beech, former editor of the University of Alabama Crimson- White, has accepted a position on the editorial staff of the Montgomery Advertiser. Beech served as editor of the University paper during the 1933-34 school year and was recalled to this position through appointment this year. He resigned his position with the college weekly last week. While at Alabama Beech was a leader in extra-curricular activities, he having held active membership in Omricon Delta Kappa and several other honor societies. He is a member of Phi Gamma Delta fraternity. Speaking on the subject of "Is Progress Real?" Dr. Will Durant thrilled a large audience of nearly 500 persons last Monday night in Langdon Hall. His answer to the question was in the affirmative; but before giving his arguments for believing so, Dr. Durant first presented in an interesting manner the ideas of contemporary writers upon the subject. Cited were George B. Shaw and H. G. Wells who in particular have painted in words pessimistic pictures of the progress and future outlook of man. "H. G. Wells," said Durant, "had given up hope, saying that the jig was up." George B. Shaw is known to contend in his dreary books on the subject that the world will have to imitate Russia before it can hope to fix anything. Also mentioned by Dr. Durant was Theodore Dreiser, who if asked the question "Is progress real?" would have answered in the negative. The conclusion that Dr. Durant drew from the opinions of the present day writers was that they admitted the world had progressed enormously in wealth, industry, and machines but failed to see how man had progressed at all. They contended, said Dr. Durant, that "man is still the same child armed with a bigger gun but not with a bigger brain." Dr. Durant, in refuting the ideas of contemporary philosophers, said in part that they were inclined to confuse the history of civilization and the history of states, that the real history of man is composed of contributions by human beings which when once made are never lost. In the conclusion of his talk, Dr. Durant listed ten major events in the civilization of man that according to him, constitute real progress. The ten events in the order named are the coming of speech, decadence of fear, conquest of the animal, passage from hunting to agriculture, coming of social organizations, developments of a moral sense, development of an esthetic sense, beginning of writing, and the last being education. Each event was discussed by Dr. Durant to show how each was a real step forward in the progress of man. Auburn Students Get Money Through FERA One hundred and eighty-five students at Auburn are to receive monthly payments totaling $2,775 as Auburn's portion of the financial aid to be granted to needy students by the Federal Emergency Relief Administration. According to the figures released from'Washington, FERA will provide financial aid to 1338 students in 21 Alabama universities and colleges. The apportionments to each school are based on enrollment figures for October of last year. Students to receive aid will be selected from those who without the assistance would be unable to remain in college. Each student will be permitted to earn a maximum of $20 a month, although the apportionment to each college is on the basis of $15 a month per student. Those receiving assistance will be employed in socially desirable work on and off the campus. Campus jobs will consist principally of research, clerical, office, library, and laboratory tasks. Besides Auburn the two other major institutions in the state to receive federal aid are Alabama College and the university, receiving monthly payments of $1,275 and $7,215 respectively.

University-Auburn Game In an editorial of our October 3 issue of The Plainsman we expressed the opinion that the advisability of the resumption of athletic relations between the University and Auburn should be determined by the authorities of the two schools, and that it was entirely out of the American Legion's field to negotiate for the game. Later the Crimson- White, University newspaper, carried an editorial in which it held that such a relation would prove detrimental to both colleges. Now leading newspapers in the state have taken up the question. We agree with the Montgomery Advertiser that "it is juvenile for so robust an organization as the American Legion to demand the Legislature of Alabama that it pass a law requiring the teams of the University and A. P. I. to play a football game". Aside from the fact that it would be foolish to make a political issue of the proposed game, it is the athletic officials who should draft their respective football schedules and not some organization which has no connection with the two schools. On the other hand, we disagree with the Crimson-White's stand that the game would serve to the detriment of both schools. A game between the two schools scheduled as a result of common consent on the part of the two teams to play would be a great contest. We can't bring ourselves to think that the students of Auburn and Alabama are any more savage and lacking in self-control than the students of like institutions in other states. We believe that after the first game all contention and ill-feeling would die, and the Auburn-University contest would 'be a great step forward in Alabama athletics. Auburn students, and we believe the alumni, are ready for the game. Resumption of athletic relations between the two schools now seems to hinge upon the desire of University students and authorities. Student Government The Executive Cabinet has not only been forced to take a back seat through the lack of power and an impotent constitution. Much of the blame for the inefficiency of student government at Auburn can be traced to Cabinet member's lack of knowledge and understanding of the constitution. Section 2 of Article iv of the Constitution states that "All acts and decisons of the Executive Cabinet shall be published to the student body within forty-eight hours". The Plainsman files reveal that this duty of the Cabinet has been sorely neglected since 1930, only several stories concerning Cabinet action having been printed during the past few years. One of the most startling things we have learned in our study of student government at Auburn is that almost an identical ruling concerning qualifications of candidate for publications offices has been made twice. In the spring of 1931 the Cabinet ruled that a student must have worked a year on the staff before he shall be elegible for election was made. This is just a case in point to show how well informed the Cabinet is with actions of their predecessors. Yes, we could install a new system of student government at Auburn, but what good would it do if the Cabinet would not do their part in making it a respected and integral part of undergrate life here? Importance of English While an accurate knowledge of language is of little value to a man who knows nothing to say, the man who does have something to say is disastrously handicapped without an accurate knowledge of language. Good English is a mark of the educated man, and poor English invariably points out the uncultured. In the light of these truths, the following example taken from the writing of a junior student at Auburn is appalling: "rezlized profits is whear the Profits has alreody been maid." In a sentence of ten words, no less than eight glaring errors are noted; and this is the work of a man who hopes to go out from Auburn in another year or two and make people accept him as an educated man. He is doomed to disappointment unless he can make valuable use of the time he has left before going out. Most of the errors in the example are the result of carelessness no doubt. Yet they are atrocious errors, no matter what their cause—they are impossible errors and indicate impossible habits in language usage. In the past some students were allowed to graduate without ever correcting these habits. They not only found themselves handicapped, but they cast reflections upon the college that graduated them. It is because of them that the English deficiency ruling was made a year or two ago. Authorities at Auburn are determined that every effort shall be made to prevent graduates from so disgracing the college. If any instructor discovers habitually faulty English being used by an upperclassman, he is asked to report that student as being dificient in English. Every instructor should regard such reports as clear necessities. It is his duty to protect the college and the student. Every student who is legitimately reported should consider it a special favor to him. He is given another chance, with extra time on the part of the English instructors, to correct his errors before it is too late to benefit from the facilities of the college. CABBAGES AND KINGS By B. S. Letters to the Editor Auburn, Ala., Nov. 10, 1934. Editor The Plainsman, Auburn, Ala. Dear Sir:— I read with much amusement and a little resentment Fanny's letter in reply to Flit's column, in which she makes the statement, "Women as a whole are much smarter than men". That is not true and she knows it. She is making a feeble attempt to flatter herself with a false statement. I am sure that she knows as well as I do that, women are not capable of creative thought to any great extent. Nor have they any true appreciation of Art, Literature, or music. What little interest they do show is a pretense to gain an end; namely, a man on whom they can sponge for the rest of their lives. They realize that if they pretend interest in these things they will command the respect of man. But the interest is false. Women are shrewd, not smart. For that I give them due credit. Fanny gives as examples of great women, Cleopatra, Queen Elizabeth, and Madam Curie. Evidently Fanny went to the movies last week. She should not let pictures overshadow her good sense. Cleopatra was noted not for her mind, as Hollywood would have one believe, but for her beauty and allure, not her powers of thought that made her famous. The less I say of Queen Elizabeth the better off I will be. As to Madam Curie, I give her credit as a co-worker with her husband. But she is by no means" great. Fanny says there is a host of other great women, but fails to name them. She says she can't think of the others. Well, that is natural. I will grant Fanny that women have been the underdog for a long time. But in fields where they are on an equal footing with men they have failed to show any greatness. Take for example the line of painting. Here they can be just as deft as man. Their products are fair but lack the spark of genius. They show no originality or creat-iveness. In music also, they fail horribly. In science there are but a very few who have shown anything creative. Where then does Fanny get the idea that women are as a whole much smarter than men? The greatest women that the world has ever produced, while smarter than the average man, can not compare to the great men. I would suggest that Fanny forget the idea of women's independence of the ego and face the fact that women were not created to think, bu,t solely for the propagation of the race. I have no fear "that somebody with skirts on" is going to beat me out of a job. Physical inferiority will prevent them from entering the majority. The rest I do not care about. So I am not worried in the least. A Male. 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. * * * * I CONCEDE that the election has been stolen," says Upton Sinclair after his defeat my Meriram. Thus Mr. Sinclair loses more than a gubernatorial election . . . he loses the respect of the American public, which insists that a man be a good loser. That there was fraud connected with the California election is highly improbable— no one yet knows—yet there were certainly no grounds for Mr. Sinclair to make the bald statement that the election was stolen. It seems a pity that a man who has built up such a reputation for intelligence and progressive thinking as has Mr. Sinclair should dissipate this reputation by one thought uttered during the bitter hour of defeat. With a chance to become a figure of note in politics, and possibly be of genuine service to his state, he throws away his chances by proving that he "can't take it". Mr. Sinclair's story is that of the man who has so long been accustomed te success that defeat proves too big a dose. And since it is in defeat that the true size of a man is measured, Mr. Sinclair will be remembered by the public as a man not quite big enough for the job to which he aspired. * * * * PRIZE BONERS gleaned from the freshman themes of the present Junior class. "The officer stepped forward to garnish the hero." • "The storm was certainly an austere one." "The rules of this institution are not facade." "The limerick is wanted by the police." "Was he ingratiating that we took the valuables?" "The surface was glib." "Every cornice of the law was disclosed by the Senators." "Salt and chlorine admonish a sodium chloride solution." (To those interested, Professor Reeves might explain this remarkable chemical reaction.) "He is impaired with the desire to be a great man." "He spoke to her and called her scenario." "He was charged with embellishment of the bank funds." "God sent down mania for the Isrealite's food." "He talked anonymously all evening." * » * * WHILE I was writing the above, one of the society reporters who was reading over my shoulder insisted that there was nothing wrong with the third from the last sentence. i Just a four-year rat. * * » * AUBURNIA . . . Placards advertising the arrival of the latest vaudeville troupe at the Tiger . . . "Dance in Montgomery" strung over the main gate. . . . Methodist Sunday School to meet at 9:45 (think of it!) blazoned on streamer across main drag . . . and Will Durant slips in and out of town apparently unnoticed. * * * * LECTURE . . . I understand that Mr. Will Durant has worked up, at present, a half dozen or more lectures, one of which he delivered in Langdon Hall last Monday night. It would be a genuine pleasure, I believe, to hear any or all of them, for Mr. Durant is a compelling, entertaining speaker who seems to know thoroughly the subjects about which he' speaks. The address of Monday night was delivered in the same lucid and interesting style which distinguishes his numerous books and magazine articles. And, personally, I'm not at all averse to books and lectures being entertaining as well as informative. (Well, professors?) . . . It is unfortunate that Dr. Durant's talk was not more widely advertised. If it had been so, there is little doubt but that the vacant seats in Langdon Hall would have been occupied—quite a number of people either didn't know the event was even scheduled or were confused about the date. The organization which sponsored the lecture might take a hint from other groups in Auburn having entertainment to offer —however, a white line it not recommended. A few placards would serve as well. . . . The female contingent at the lecture appeared vastly amused at the speaker's numerous cracks at the stronger sex. The collective ego of the feminine part of the audience was being noticeably inflated—so much so that I was sorry for them when Mr. Durant deftly punctured their balloon of self-approbation. * * * * TAG ENDS . . . Tuesday afternoon, and I'm still a prospect for a suicide club. Address any attractive propositions to this column . . . I said suicide, not murder. . . . Something to read: Synge's "Riders to the Sea". It's a one act play which can be read in twenty minutes, and if you don't go around feeling tragic all over the place for two hours afterward, you're either a AUBURN FOOTPRINTS Dopey says he now calls his fern Argyrol—she's good for the eyes. * * * * * * Only two things prevent most Auburn men from being good dancers—their feet. How about some of the rest of you submitting some old jokes for Footprints. * * * * * * An article from the Atlanta Georgian: "The 'cockiest' telegram of the year arrived at the Mayor's office Friday. "From the the Auburn student body, it read: '"Auburn band will parade 10:45 Saturday. Provide escort.' "It was signed by Ed Prewitt, 'head cheer cadet'. "Acting Mayor Frank Reynolds obeyed the mandate after consulting Chairman Dan Bridges of the police committee and Chief Sturdivant." * * * * * * Oh, you Cheer Cadet Prewitt! * * * * * * They laughed when I started to make a new dynamite, but when I dropped it they exploded.

Grady School of Journalism will write the stories and headlines and makeup the front page of the Georgian's special "Homecoming" edition, to appear Homecoming Saturday, Nov. 17, John E. Drewry, director of the school, announced Wednesday. Stories for the front page will be written by the feature writing class and headlines will be composed by members of the class in newspaper management. The layout and makeup of the front page will be under the direction of Edward C. Crousse, associate professor of journalism. A wide variety of news and feature stories will be used on the front page. A story giving the "dope" about the two teams, Georgia and North Carolina State, will be the main story. Other stories to be featured will be a general story dealing with the main social events of the Homecoming week-end, a short history of previous Homecomings, and a review of early southern football. This special "Homecoming" edition, the first of its kind attempted in the South, will replace the usual evening edition of the Georgian which appears on the street about 10:30 a. m. each morning. * * * * SCORE BOARD BE ERECTED AT LOUISIANA U. Plans are being completed for a huge score board to be erected at the south end of the field of Tiger stadium in time for the Louisiana State university-Tulane annual football classic here December 1, according to T.

The score board will measure 44 feet across, according to plans and blue prints being drawn up at present. The score board will include the names, numbers, and positions of all players on each team. The board will reveal the score of the game at the time, the quarter of the game being played, and the minutes to play in the quarter, and who has the ball at the time. * * * * COLORADO STUDENTS ENJOY OUTING One hundred and twenty naughty seniors sneaked away from classrooms and underclassmen Monday to spend an enjoyable profound cynic or dumber than most. . .

To Mademoiselle Barbarossa: Just exactly what did you mutter in that long blonde beard? day in the Big Thompson canyon. Nary a senior was to be found on the Aggie campus Monday. Those who were not locked in their rooms shivering from exposure, were enjoying their campfire along the river in Big Thompson canyon. Early Monday morning the seniors left Fort Collins and went to Sylvan Dale where they had breakfast and dinner. The hours between meals were spent riding horses, hiking, yelling and singing, and "raising whoopie" in general. In the evening a barbecue steak dinner was served, outside Montrose Inn preceding the annual sneakers' dance. * * * * DUKE STUDENTS SEEM TO BE EXTRAVAGANT Expenses are bound to mount up in a university as large as Duke, but need they be as great as they are? It seems to us there is a lot of money spent foolishly and a lot of money wasted in this institution. One thing which strikes us especially is the waste of electricity. Students thoughtlessly go off and leave lights burning for hours in their rooms. Sometimes the light is the closet is turned on in the morning and the student carelessly slams the door and hurries off to class, leaving it to burn all day. This is not the only place. Electricity is wasted in classrooms when professors and students alike walk out of class forgetting entirely about the light. Perhaps the next period it will be shut off but there may not be a class in that particular room for hours and unless the janitor happens by and shuts it off it burns indefinitely. This is just one of the many ways in which money could and should be saved at Duke. When the students ask for things from the administration the answer is usually, "We can't afford it." If the students would be a bit more careful and 'cooperate a little more with the university in economizing, they might be able to afford some of the things which the students desire.— V. M.

FAQS AND FALLACIES By Flit 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. WHAT WEATHER this is for toasting one's hoofs by the fire. I was told that the official temperature in Auburn Monday morning was at the freezing point. I think the thermometer froze at the point and couldn't go any lower. But what I started off to say was that these present day gas heaters are the bunk. Scratch a match, turn a handle, and presto, radiant heat beams forth. It takes so little effort that we fail to appreciate the benefits. How much better it would be to haul in a load of wood to the back yard, get out the old trusty ax and chop the stuff up in fireplace lengths. Pine shavings and oak logs can't be beat. That's the way to enjoy a fireplace, and no real enjoyment can equal that gained in a quiet evening before the dancing, glowing, spitting, sputtering flames of burning oak logs. That's life. That's when tall stories are spun and glowing memories of the past are brought before the mind, memories of love, of the last fishing trip, and of countless other happenings. And if I had my way I would scrap every single gas hot water heater and replace them with the old fashioned wood burners. If a fellow is too lazy to get them fired in cold mornings before he takes his bath or shaves, let him stay dirty or else use cold water. We are getting too soft and flabby these days with weak minds to match. Hitler, the iron man of Germany, uses cold water entirely and states that warm water is only for the kids, women, and in some cases for the men who can't take it. * * * * Awhile back I mentioned some much needed things on this campus, all of which are obvious; but one more occurred to me which I consider to be worthwhile to mention here. Of course it would be impossible to bring it about as long as the people of this state continue to be so narrow minded. That is, the majority. What I have in mind is a real beer parlor for men only. Only beer would be sold. It would be a real beer parlor with sawdust two inches thick on the floor, a long brass foot railing, and a fat bartender such as bloomberg. It would be a gathering place for the intellect of the campus, a place where they could get together and sip beer while they discussed the various phrases of campus life and its problems. Five coppers for a large size mug would be the price and absolutely no females would be allowed. What the people of this state have against the sale of beer, I haven't yet figured out. All I can say is that the attitude they take is nothing less than foolish. German Universities are noted for the well trained minds they turn out and also for their beer parlors. The University of Wisconsin has one along with other "Yankee" Universities. Beer and bigger pretzels is my motto, and when that day comes around the common greeting on the campus here will be "have a beer on me". * * * * Saw something the other night on the train which made me regret all my moments of self-pity. A young man of not over thirty with a two weeks growth of beard and a bandaged head fainted away because of a recent mastoid operation. He had no friends with him—no money. He was on his way to Lake City Florida but had only passage to take him to Macon Georgia. For thirty minutes a trained nurse who happened to be on the train worked with him. It was finally necessary to wire ahead for a doctor to meet the train at the following town. He was revived, but there was no one on the train to be with him. Alone, sick, and broke. The nurse asked the passengers to contribute something to help this unfortunate fellow finish his trip home. Let no one say that the world is lost in self-interest, for there was apparently not a single person on the train who refused to help. Such things are extremely unfortunate, but they show that we are not superficial and apparently selfish' moderns.

Auburn Hi To Play Five Points In Game Auburn High's current grid campaign will be brought to a close Friday as the strong Five Points High eleven is * encountered here in a "Home-coming Game". The sponsor for the Auburn team will be Miss Elizabeth Rogers. Miss Rogers, daughter of Mr. and Mrs. T. S. Rogers, is one of the most popular members of the high school set and is chairman of the social committee of the senior class. Her escort will be Captain Gene Trotter, who is out of the game with injuries. Miss Suzelle Hare will act as Miss Rogers attendant, accompanied by Daniel Benson. The game Friday will start at three o'clock on the field back of the girl's gymnasium and will bring together two of the outstanding elevens of East Alabama. Auburn has conquered all of its opposition to date in very efficient fashion but the Pointers stand high in local football circles and will attempt to give the Auburn team its first defeat of the season. Auburn has won six straight games, amassing 133 points to their opponents 12. Auburn's latest victim is Opelika who played inspired football to hold the Baby Tigers to a 6-0 victory last Friday. Auburn paid dearly for this win, however, as Captain Gene Trotter, right halfback, and Roy Powell, quarterback, are both out for Friday's game. Trotter sustained a broken collar-bone in the opening minutes of the Opelika game, while Powell had a piece chipped off his elbow. Both are first-string backfield aces.

SSSHRKBHMMS P A G E FOUR T H E A U B U R N PLAINSMAN A L A B A M A POLYTECHNIC INSTITUTE WEDNESDAY, NOV. 14, 1934 High School Students Hear Irvine Lecture Lee County high school students were advised to be cautious in choosing "white collar" jobs, or the professions, as future life vocations by Dr. Paul Irvine of the Auburn school of education who said that such positions were available only to seven per cent of those who find after-school employment. Dr. Irvine said the outlook was favorable for increased employment in the fields of aeronautics, sound reproduction (including the radio, telephony and television), agriculture, the building trades, social sciences, and scientific research. Agriculture and industry comprise approximately one-half of the nation's employed, he said. His address, which outlined the possibilities of increased employment in various fields, was given as a part of the National Education Week series of programs planned for the students by the local Business and Professional Women's Club. The students were urged to "be thinking" about their future life work in preparation for the guidance clinic to be held Wednesday at which time Auburn business and professional women will hold conferences with the students. The object is to assist them in choosing a life work and "start planning for tomorrow"— theme of* the week's program. With the greater application of science and the increased availability of cheap power, Dr. Irvine predicts that the present generation will see the development of "a new kind of farmer". In the building trades he believes that the type of dwellings will be greatly revolutionized within the next two decades with the substitution of factory-made house-building units which may be erected within a week's time at much less expense than is possible at present. Television, he added, is already an actuality, the wide-spread use of which is only a matter of a few years. Even though employment in the automobile industry increased from 15,- 000 in 1910 to over 700,000 ten years later, he is not certain about its future expansion. Aeronautics, on the other hand, does offer a bright future for greater employment, he believes. The program was opened by Miss Virginia Igou, president of the Auburn Business and Professional Women's Club, who said that the organization had grown from 200 members in 1919 to more than 50,000 dt present with 1,350 clubs. More than $500,000 has been loaned by the clubs for the education of women. Plans for the guidance clinic were discussed by Miss Edna J. Orr of the College education faculty who is in charge of celebration of Education Week as chairman of the club's education committee. The guidance clinic will be directed by Miss Orr and Dr. Irvine.

Seems that Bing, being born in Washington, always yells for teams from that state. So when Washington State beat Southern California Bing not only picked up a few nickles and dimes for himself, but got a chance to cheer for the first time in years. In fact, he was so pleased that he wrote Coach Babe Hollingbery a letter about it. Bing got a note back, saying Babe liked the sentiments expressed, and would use it as a fight talk for his next game. » And in the next game Gonzaga upset the Cougars! Of course, Bing going to Gonzaga had nothing to do with it. * * * After looking over my column I sent all you Oakie admirers last week I showed it to Lyda Roberti, and she burned over that crack that there weren't any guys named 'ski' playing football. Lyda being more or less Polish she got all excited, and picked herself an All-American team, claiming that old Dr. Oakie didn't have exclusive rights to such. So being a gentleman at all times, I'm offering it to you, thus: Ends: Wojcinovski (Pitt) and Kor-chinski (Villanova); tackles: Yezer-ski (St. Marys) and Schilawski (Indiana); guards: Chyczewski (Carnegie Tech) and Gurzynski (Temple); center: Osmaloski (Iowa); quarter: Pelczynski (Buffalo); halfbacks: Brominski (Columbia) and Bialowski (LaFayette); fullback: Janowski (Wisconsin). ' And, as Lyda remarked, this team Auburn Allotted Sum From Education Fund Auburn has been allotted $77,639.58 of the $694,450.70 that .accured to the Alabama special educational trust fund during the month of October. This allotment is about one-eight of the entire years appropriation. It is practically the same as the allotment that was made at this time last year. Due to the payment of the whole years taxes in the fall by several of the largest corporations in the state, the trust fund receives a large part of it's appropriations during October. For the next few months the fund will be dependent upon the tobacco tax for revenue. Of the total made available $398,- 614.58 to Auburn and $26,041.90 to Alabama College. Because of a Supreme Court ruling in June making invalid any educational appropriation from the general fund, the schools of the state are dependent entirely upon allotment from the state educational trust funds. Bank Deposits Here Show Big Increase • / Bank deposits in Auburn have shown an average increase in the last year of about 30 per cent. This great increase has been attributed to several different factors, namely; the payment of the faculty in negotiable bonds, the increased enrollment .this year over last, and others. Deposits of Alabama's 209 licensed commercial banks were reported by the Federal Deposit Insurance Corporation to have increased approximately $9,000,000 from December 30, 1933 to June 30. The report covered 94 per cent of the licensed banks of the state. Leo T. Crowley of the Corporation said he believed "the confidence en-genered by deposit insurance has been an important factor in promoting this substantial increase in deposits." can easily complete the longest pass in history. Brominski to Wojcinovski. In lesser words, from Pole to Pole. * * * A team like that would give any radio announcer a headache, but here's old Dr. Oakie's prizewinner for the year. Imagine Ted Husing or Graham McNamee trying to get this one off at a critical moment: "Pitt's Nicksick quick-kicked!" Try that one on your piano, or even your piccolo, if your piano isn't handy. * * * What this country needs is more Irish football players. Like in "College Rhythm," which I just pulled through for Paramount, I play a guy named "Love and Kisses" Finnegan. I never did find out what his first name was. But with a name like Finnegan I couldn't help but be a success. There hasn't been a stand-out Irisher since Johnny O'Brien of Notre Dame. * * * Old Dr. Oakie doesn't like to brag, but did you notice that he predicted Princeton would play in the Rose Bowl game out here on New Year's Day? Those Tigers are still kicking right along, even if W. and L. did give 'em a scare. In fact, West Virginia beat the Presidents worse than Princeton did. But you'll recall that my old pal, Frank Anthony is now line-coaching at West Virginia, and Frank really knows his lines. If I knew my lines half as well I'd be a swell actor. * * * It's a good thing I got myself into condition to be a hardy football warrior for "College Rhythm," for now I'm supposed to be in a fight picture next. Max Baer is making a picture on the lot, and I've been belting him around the gym a bit, just to see if the old right hand is in shape. As I say, I've been belting Max, but I'm prepared to light out in a hurry if those guys I got holding him ever let go. METHODIST YOUNG MEN TO DEDICATE NEW ROOM SUNDAY Special Program Arranged For Dedication Services; Large Crowd Is Expected The Methodist Young Men's Bible Class will hold a special service Sunday morning when the new class room will be dedicated.

Will Make Stops Here To provide early morning railroad transportation from Montgomery to Auburn, train No. 38, which leaves Montgomery at 6:50 a.m., will make a flag stop at Auburn where it it due at 8:18 a.m. Announcement of this has been received by the Alabama Polytechnic Institute from headquarters of the Atlanta West Point Railway at Atlanta, Georgia. The change is effective at once. A few months ago Auburn was made a flag stop for this train to accommodate pasingers going to Atlanta and beyond. No provision was than made, however, for passingers wishing to come from Montgomery and beyond to Auburn in the forenoon. The new arrangement provides this accommodation.

D. K. WILL SPONSOR HUGE STUDENT RALLY NEXT WEEK Plainsmen Take Advantage Of Early Game Breaks To Score Touchdowns GILBERT STANDS OUT Linesmen Out Rush Tech Forward Wall; Auburn P r e s e n ts Smooth Offense In Victory Mass Meeting Will Be Held In Langdon Hall Friday Night, 8 P. M. The Auburn Tigers capitalized on three early game breaks in Atlanta Saturday to win from a battered Georgia Tech Golden Tornado 18-6. It was the first Conference win for the Tigers in their fifth intra-con-ference contest and the third loss for the Yellow Jackets from the Flats. Auburn displayed aggressive football talent on Grant Field as a powerful line and speedy backfield coordinated to roll up three touchdowns in a weird first half and then settled back and held Georgia Tech scoreless until the closing minutes of the game when a 25-yard slugging penalty set the Tigers back on their own 24 yard marker. Penalties ruined the embattled Plainsmen Saturday as offside penalties prevented one touch-down from being recorded on the Auburn side of the ledger and gave Tech another chance to receive a kick after Roberts had fumbled and Eaves recovered on the Tech 45 for another Auburn "break". It was sheer alertness and undeniable power that beat Tech in Atlanta. Haygood Paterson and Mutt Morris blocked a kick each in the opening half and covered them over the Tech goal for two of the Auburn scores, and Morris recovered a Tech fumble on the Jackets' 37 that paved the way for the second score. A combination lateral pass made a first down on the Tech 25, Karam being the final recipient of the ball. Karam and Tipper collaborated in a pair of hip-shifting exhibitions to make it first down on the eight yard line. Karam continued where he left off a minute before to dash around end after finding an off-tackle slant an impossibility for the Auburn marker. Auburn's most sustained drive was in the second period when, led by Wilton Kilgore on the ground and Bobbie Blake in the air, the Tigers marched down to the one-yard line. Blake's passing on this drive was most satisfactory as he connected five times in as many tries. Two of these heaves were in the neighborhood of twenty yards each. The Auburn backfield got going for the first time Saturday as Tipper, Karam, Kilgore, Blake, and Stewart turned in a most effective offensive game. Johnnie Paterson, Hugh Rod-gers, Mutt Morris, 'Wjalter Gilbert and Joel Eaves in the forewall were all that any line coach ever prays for and their successors were almost as good. Shorty Roberts in the Tech rear works played as gallant a game as (Continued on page 4) New Cross Country Mark Set By C. Pihl Although Auburn's long distance runners bowed to Georgia Tech, Carl Pihl broke the course record in Atlanta last Saturday morning by fully ten seconds. He led the field of runners and covered the 3.6 mile course with a time of 19:33. Georgia Tech triumpted over the Plainsmen, 23-32, in Auburn's opening cross-country run. Carl Pihl, a senior hailing from Montgomery, is one of the best trackman in the country. Ed Gait, also from Montgomery, was the second Auburn man to place, coming in fourth with a time of 20:51. The first ten men to place were Pihl (Auburn), West (Tech), Jones (Tech), Gait (Auburn), Batson (Tech), Rankins (Tech), Chandler (Auburn), Emery (Auburn), Powers (Auburn), and Funchess (Auburn). A mass meeting of all students will be held in Langdon Hall Friday night at 7 o'clock as the pre-game rally before the Florida-Auburn football contest in Montgomery Saturday. Fraternity, dormitory, and boarding house leaders are urged to require all their freshmen to attend the rally Friday night. Head cheerleader Ed Prewitt has stated that he hoped to have a big crowd attend the meeting since new yells and the Auburn Victory Song will be practiced. Cheerleaders will attempt to have the Auburn supporters at the game Saturday sing the new song. Prewitt also stated that a street parade, with the band leading, will be held in Montgomery Saturday morning upon the arrival of the 11 o'clock train. Plans for this feature will be discussed at the mass meeting. All students who make the trip to Montgomery via automobile are urged to be at the Union Station to participate in the parade. Plans for securing materials for the bonfire to be used at the O. D. K sponsored student rally a week from tomorrow night will also be discussed at the mass meeting. CADETS TO STAGE REVIEW THURSDAY Col. Reed Will Be Here For Exercises On Bullard Field Tomorrow Morning Colonel William L. Reed, commander of the Fourth Corp Area, will visit Auburn tomorrow in connection with his annual fall trip of inspection of all R. O. T. C. units within the corp area. A review will be held in his honor at 11 o'clock Thursday on Bullard Field. Col. Reed will arrive in Auburn Thursday morning on the 9:30 train. During his stay' here he will confer with members of the Administrative Committee, visit various R. 0. T. C. units, and will be the guest of the Rotary Club at a luncheon. He will leave Auburn early in the afternoon for Tuskegee, where he will inspect the R. 0. T. C. unit of the Tuskegee Institute. Col. Reed was commissioned a Second Lieutenant of the infantry in 1889, serving throughout his service in the infantry. During the World War he was appointed Colonel, National Army. He went overseas with the 136th Infanrty, and while in France he attended the Command and General Staff School in Langres, France. After returning to the United States he was assigned Chief of Staff, 100th Division, at Fort Worth, Texas. He received his permanent Colonelcy in 1923. He is a graduate of the Infantry and Cavalry Schools, 1904; of the Command and General Staff School, 1924; and is on the General Staff Corp elegible list. Col. Reed was born in New Jersey but was appointed to the United States Military Academy from New York in 1893. Uniform regulation for review will be blouses and white shirts. Bonfire, Program Will Be Presented At Meeting Before Georgia Game A gigantic student rally and bon fire is being planned for Thursday night, November 22 by the local circle of Omricon Delta Kappa. The meeting is planned as a final boost to the football team before the Georgia- Auburn football game in Columbus on November 24. Tentative plans as announced by Don Pierce, president of Omega Circle of O. D. K., call for a huge bon fire somewhere in the vicinity of Drake Field, with members of the coaching staff, the glee club, band, and senior members of the football squad taking part on the program. According to Pierce an amplifying system will probably be installed for the occasion. Bleachers will be erected to accomodate the large crowd of students and townspeople expected to attend the meeting. The rally is planned as a "show of confidence" in the coaching staff and football team. Coaches Meagher, Morgan, Jordon, and Hitchcock will be asked to speak. In addition, Capt. Mike Welch, Alt.-Capt. Bennie Fen-ton, and other seniors on the football squad will make short talks. This is the first bon fire to be held on the campus since the "welcome meeting" staged for Jack Meagher when he came here last spring. It is planned to have pictures taken of the meeting to be used in the Collegiate Digest rotogravure section carried in several hundred college newspapers, and in several state newspapers. After the part of the program which is being planned and sponsored by O. D. K. has been given, the meeting will be turned over to Ed Prewitt and his corps of cheerleaders for a pep meeting. Final plans for the occasion will be announced in next Wednesday's edition of the Plainsman. O. D. K. is making a special effort to take a hand in the revival of the proper Auburn spirit and the meeting is a part of the circle's plans to seek that end. Below are listed the words of the Auburn Victory Song which students are urged to learn: Come on, boys, let's travel; For it is time that we're on our way. Time to hit the gravel; We've got to win that game today. Fight you Auburn Tigers, For the victory. Let them say it! As we play it! We're the roving, fighting Auburn Tigers. 'A' CLUB DANCE SCHEDULED FOR STANDARD CLUB Attractive List Of Sponsors Chosen To Attend Gala Football Dance Saturday KNIGHTS WILL PLAY Many Visitors Expected To Attend Affair After Annual Auburn-Florida Game The old Standard Club building on Montgomery Street will be the scene of the Auburn-Florida "A" Club dance in the capitol city Saturday night. Dancing will begin at nine o'clock and continue until two. Admission will be by script. An attractive coterie of girls have been selected to act as sponsors for the affair, according to Haygood Paterson, president of the "A" Club. The list includes: Emily Hillman, Louise Starling, Evelyn Sledge, Louise Jones, Mary Hall Van Pelt, Lily Barnes Cherry, Scottie Reeves, Monnie Han-non, Beverly Rutter, Emily Thornton, Frances Kimbrough, and Helen Walter. Chaperones for the dance will be Mr. and Mrs. Pop Paterson, Mr. and Mrs. Red Severance, and Mr. and Mrs. J. B. Paterson. Pop Paterson is a former Auburn football player, and he and Severance officiate in several Aubirrn games each season. The Auburn Knights have been engaged to furnish the music for the occasion. The Knights will be making their first appearance in Montgomery this year and they have promised a varied program of the most popular dance tunes. Earl Starnes, director of the orchestra, has announced that he will feature the saxaphone and trumpet sections in novelty arrangements of several numbers. Three no-breaks and several lead-outs will be featured during the course of the dance. A brief intermission is scheduled for around twelve o'clock. Paterson announced that this is the only script dance that will be given in Montgomery Saturday night and that he is planning special features for the entertainment of the guests before and after intermission. Classes Be Excused On Wednesday, 28th The Administrative Committee has announced that classes will be excused for the Thanksgiving holidays at the close of the class on Wednesday, November 28th and will convene the following Monday as usual. Because so many students leave a day or so early before holidays the Committee has declined to grant the extra half-day as has been done in the past. No student is through for the holidays until he has completed all classes on the day preceeding the holiday, and all cuts taken Wednesday will count as double cuts. Low Round Trip Rate To Capitol Announced Extra coaches will be attached to trains going to Montgomery Friday and Saturday to accommodate students who make the Auburn-Florida football game in the Capitol City Saturday. The regular round trip rate of $1.65 will be charged for tickets. Those making the Montgomery trip may leave here on the Friday afternoon or evening and the Saturday' morning trains. The return ticket will be honored on all trains leaving Montgomery Saturday night, Sunday and early Monday morning except on trains 37 and 38. The entire football squad and band will leave on the 9:25 train Saturday morning. The squad will return on the Saturday evening train. TEN STUDENTS ARE ELECTED TO KAPPA DELTA PI-PARRISH DUNCAN ENDORSES RED CROSS ROLL CALL HERE Dr. L. N. Duncan, director of the State Extension Service at Auburn, has given his strong endorsement to the American Red Cross roll call. Howell Cherry, thairman of the Lee County Red Cross chapter, expects results of the impending campaign to be greater than any in the past. According to information released early this week by Kappa Delta Pi, ten students have been elected to that society. Those honored by election to the organization are: Mrs. Grace E. Harris, Auburn; Dorothy Sellers, Birmingham; Leon Hicks, Mary Jim Enloe, Langdale; George W. Ward, Pineapple; James Cooper, Echola; Janetta Sawyer, Auburn; Helen Gardiner, Auburn; J. E. De Vaughn, Deatsville; and Ralph Jones, Collins-ville. Kappa Delta Pi is an honorary educational fraternity that selects its membership either from students in the school of education proper or from students in associated schools that are planning to teach. Before final initiation into Kappa Delta Pi prospective members have to pass a rigid exam and write a short paper on some subject connected with education. Kappa Delta Pi has been active at Auburn for a number of years and is one of the outstanding professional honor societies on the campus. Members are chosen not only on scholarship but on general all-round ability and a marked interest in extra-curricular activities. Evidence of professional promise is also taken into consideration. Officers of Kappa Delta Pi for the current session are Randall Parrish, president; Velma Patterson, vice-president; Mrs. Exa Beck, secretary; and Gordon Fowler, treasurer. NOTICE! There will be a second meeting of all Walker County students in Sam-ford 203 Thursday night at 7 o'clock. Sponsors Dance Saturday Night DURANT'S TALK WELL RECEIVED BY CROWD HERE Noted Philosopher Speaks On "Is P r o g r e s s R e a l ? " In Langdon Hall Last Monday MISS LOUISE JONES has been selected to act as one of the sponsors at the Auburn-Florida football dance at the Old Standard Club building in Montgomery Saturday night. PRESENTS VIEWS Durant Refutes Ideas Of Pessimists In Lecture; Large Crowd Hears Program ELLIS TO ATTEND NATIONAL SESSION DEBATE CONTESTS NOW IN PROGRESS Captain Of Local Company Off To Scabbard And Blade Convention This Week •Frank Ellis left Auburn last Friday night to represent the local company of Scabbard and Blade at the 19th convention of the national military society to be held in Cincinnati, Ohio, from November 15 to 17 inclusive. The University of Cincinnati will act as host for the affair. The convention will open with a smoker Thursday evening at the Neth-erland Plaza Hotel, where delegates will stay and have their business meetings. A ball will be given for the delegates Friday evening with a banquet scheduled for the following night. It is expected that at least one delegate from each of the 78 active companies will be at the convention. This year's conclave marks the thirtieth year of the organization, and is the first time that the meet has been held in the early fall, rather than in the spring. The change in the date was decided upon at the St. Louis convention in 1932 in order to give the active members more benefit of the inspiration derived from these national meetings. Tourney Being Run Off With Many Debates; Team To E n g a g e Millsaps Here Student Tickets Be Sold In Montgomery Student tickets to the Auburn-Florida game in Montgomery Saturday will be sold at Cramton Bowl. Students may purchase tickets for 40 cents and guest tickets for $1.75. The sale of ducats for the attraction will begin at 10 a.m.' Saturday morning at the stadium, thereby enabling those students who make the trip down to Montgomery through the country opportunity to purchase tickets on their way into town. According to the Athletic Department the position of the student ticket booth at the bowl has not been arranged but an announcement giving the location of the booth will be made in Friday's Plainsman. CHEMICAL FARMING TO BE USED SAYS GORMAN Chemical farming may be the salvation of the cotton farmer if changes being suggested now are developed. Francis P. Gorman, president of the foundation for the promotion of chemical farming, suggests that farmers may in the future be made "positive" rather than "negative". The first contest of the freshman debate tournament was held Monday afternoon at four o'clock. The freshman debate question was: "Resolved, That Federal Aid Should Be Granted for the Equilization of Educational Opportunities." Sam Hall and Gates were on the affirmative side, D. C. Smith and A. A. Rich were on the negative. The judges were: Dr. Moore and Professor Medlock of the English department, and Professor Ivey of the History department. The votes cast by the judges were sealed in an envelop and will not be opened until the end of the first round robin of the tourney. The question will be debated over the N. B. C. network Wednesday, November 14, from 3 o'clock until 4 o'clock by a group of leading educators of the United States. The freshman tournament is sponsored by Phi Delta Gamma, national honorary senior forensic fraternity. Suitable prizes will be given to the winners. Continuing the freshman tournament another debate will be held next Monday afternoon at four o'clock in room 301, Samford Hall. A similar tournament for upper-classmen is being sponsored by the Alpha Phi Epsilon, national honorary fraternity. The cups to be awarded the individual winners in the tournament are on display in Jolly's window. The first intercollegiate upperclass-men debate will be held Saturday, November 17, in the Students' Hall. The visiting debating team will be from Millsaps College of Jackson, (Continued on page 4) Beech Accepts Job On Advertiser Staff Gould Beech, former editor of the University of Alabama Crimson- White, has accepted a position on the editorial staff of the Montgomery Advertiser. Beech served as editor of the University paper during the 1933-34 school year and was recalled to this position through appointment this year. He resigned his position with the college weekly last week. While at Alabama Beech was a leader in extra-curricular activities, he having held active membership in Omricon Delta Kappa and several other honor societies. He is a member of Phi Gamma Delta fraternity. Speaking on the subject of "Is Progress Real?" Dr. Will Durant thrilled a large audience of nearly 500 persons last Monday night in Langdon Hall. His answer to the question was in the affirmative; but before giving his arguments for believing so, Dr. Durant first presented in an interesting manner the ideas of contemporary writers upon the subject. Cited were George B. Shaw and H. G. Wells who in particular have painted in words pessimistic pictures of the progress and future outlook of man. "H. G. Wells," said Durant, "had given up hope, saying that the jig was up." George B. Shaw is known to contend in his dreary books on the subject that the world will have to imitate Russia before it can hope to fix anything. Also mentioned by Dr. Durant was Theodore Dreiser, who if asked the question "Is progress real?" would have answered in the negative. The conclusion that Dr. Durant drew from the opinions of the present day writers was that they admitted the world had progressed enormously in wealth, industry, and machines but failed to see how man had progressed at all. They contended, said Dr. Durant, that "man is still the same child armed with a bigger gun but not with a bigger brain." Dr. Durant, in refuting the ideas of contemporary philosophers, said in part that they were inclined to confuse the history of civilization and the history of states, that the real history of man is composed of contributions by human beings which when once made are never lost. In the conclusion of his talk, Dr. Durant listed ten major events in the civilization of man that according to him, constitute real progress. The ten events in the order named are the coming of speech, decadence of fear, conquest of the animal, passage from hunting to agriculture, coming of social organizations, developments of a moral sense, development of an esthetic sense, beginning of writing, and the last being education. Each event was discussed by Dr. Durant to show how each was a real step forward in the progress of man. Auburn Students Get Money Through FERA One hundred and eighty-five students at Auburn are to receive monthly payments totaling $2,775 as Auburn's portion of the financial aid to be granted to needy students by the Federal Emergency Relief Administration. According to the figures released from'Washington, FERA will provide financial aid to 1338 students in 21 Alabama universities and colleges. The apportionments to each school are based on enrollment figures for October of last year. Students to receive aid will be selected from those who without the assistance would be unable to remain in college. Each student will be permitted to earn a maximum of $20 a month, although the apportionment to each college is on the basis of $15 a month per student. Those receiving assistance will be employed in socially desirable work on and off the campus. Campus jobs will consist principally of research, clerical, office, library, and laboratory tasks. Besides Auburn the two other major institutions in the state to receive federal aid are Alabama College and the university, receiving monthly payments of $1,275 and $7,215 respectively.

University-Auburn Game In an editorial of our October 3 issue of The Plainsman we expressed the opinion that the advisability of the resumption of athletic relations between the University and Auburn should be determined by the authorities of the two schools, and that it was entirely out of the American Legion's field to negotiate for the game. Later the Crimson- White, University newspaper, carried an editorial in which it held that such a relation would prove detrimental to both colleges. Now leading newspapers in the state have taken up the question. We agree with the Montgomery Advertiser that "it is juvenile for so robust an organization as the American Legion to demand the Legislature of Alabama that it pass a law requiring the teams of the University and A. P. I. to play a football game". Aside from the fact that it would be foolish to make a political issue of the proposed game, it is the athletic officials who should draft their respective football schedules and not some organization which has no connection with the two schools. On the other hand, we disagree with the Crimson-White's stand that the game would serve to the detriment of both schools. A game between the two schools scheduled as a result of common consent on the part of the two teams to play would be a great contest. We can't bring ourselves to think that the students of Auburn and Alabama are any more savage and lacking in self-control than the students of like institutions in other states. We believe that after the first game all contention and ill-feeling would die, and the Auburn-University contest would 'be a great step forward in Alabama athletics. Auburn students, and we believe the alumni, are ready for the game. Resumption of athletic relations between the two schools now seems to hinge upon the desire of University students and authorities. Student Government The Executive Cabinet has not only been forced to take a back seat through the lack of power and an impotent constitution. Much of the blame for the inefficiency of student government at Auburn can be traced to Cabinet member's lack of knowledge and understanding of the constitution. Section 2 of Article iv of the Constitution states that "All acts and decisons of the Executive Cabinet shall be published to the student body within forty-eight hours". The Plainsman files reveal that this duty of the Cabinet has been sorely neglected since 1930, only several stories concerning Cabinet action having been printed during the past few years. One of the most startling things we have learned in our study of student government at Auburn is that almost an identical ruling concerning qualifications of candidate for publications offices has been made twice. In the spring of 1931 the Cabinet ruled that a student must have worked a year on the staff before he shall be elegible for election was made. This is just a case in point to show how well informed the Cabinet is with actions of their predecessors. Yes, we could install a new system of student government at Auburn, but what good would it do if the Cabinet would not do their part in making it a respected and integral part of undergrate life here? Importance of English While an accurate knowledge of language is of little value to a man who knows nothing to say, the man who does have something to say is disastrously handicapped without an accurate knowledge of language. Good English is a mark of the educated man, and poor English invariably points out the uncultured. In the light of these truths, the following example taken from the writing of a junior student at Auburn is appalling: "rezlized profits is whear the Profits has alreody been maid." In a sentence of ten words, no less than eight glaring errors are noted; and this is the work of a man who hopes to go out from Auburn in another year or two and make people accept him as an educated man. He is doomed to disappointment unless he can make valuable use of the time he has left before going out. Most of the errors in the example are the result of carelessness no doubt. Yet they are atrocious errors, no matter what their cause—they are impossible errors and indicate impossible habits in language usage. In the past some students were allowed to graduate without ever correcting these habits. They not only found themselves handicapped, but they cast reflections upon the college that graduated them. It is because of them that the English deficiency ruling was made a year or two ago. Authorities at Auburn are determined that every effort shall be made to prevent graduates from so disgracing the college. If any instructor discovers habitually faulty English being used by an upperclassman, he is asked to report that student as being dificient in English. Every instructor should regard such reports as clear necessities. It is his duty to protect the college and the student. Every student who is legitimately reported should consider it a special favor to him. He is given another chance, with extra time on the part of the English instructors, to correct his errors before it is too late to benefit from the facilities of the college. CABBAGES AND KINGS By B. S. Letters to the Editor Auburn, Ala., Nov. 10, 1934. Editor The Plainsman, Auburn, Ala. Dear Sir:— I read with much amusement and a little resentment Fanny's letter in reply to Flit's column, in which she makes the statement, "Women as a whole are much smarter than men". That is not true and she knows it. She is making a feeble attempt to flatter herself with a false statement. I am sure that she knows as well as I do that, women are not capable of creative thought to any great extent. Nor have they any true appreciation of Art, Literature, or music. What little interest they do show is a pretense to gain an end; namely, a man on whom they can sponge for the rest of their lives. They realize that if they pretend interest in these things they will command the respect of man. But the interest is false. Women are shrewd, not smart. For that I give them due credit. Fanny gives as examples of great women, Cleopatra, Queen Elizabeth, and Madam Curie. Evidently Fanny went to the movies last week. She should not let pictures overshadow her good sense. Cleopatra was noted not for her mind, as Hollywood would have one believe, but for her beauty and allure, not her powers of thought that made her famous. The less I say of Queen Elizabeth the better off I will be. As to Madam Curie, I give her credit as a co-worker with her husband. But she is by no means" great. Fanny says there is a host of other great women, but fails to name them. She says she can't think of the others. Well, that is natural. I will grant Fanny that women have been the underdog for a long time. But in fields where they are on an equal footing with men they have failed to show any greatness. Take for example the line of painting. Here they can be just as deft as man. Their products are fair but lack the spark of genius. They show no originality or creat-iveness. In music also, they fail horribly. In science there are but a very few who have shown anything creative. Where then does Fanny get the idea that women are as a whole much smarter than men? The greatest women that the world has ever produced, while smarter than the average man, can not compare to the great men. I would suggest that Fanny forget the idea of women's independence of the ego and face the fact that women were not created to think, bu,t solely for the propagation of the race. I have no fear "that somebody with skirts on" is going to beat me out of a job. Physical inferiority will prevent them from entering the majority. The rest I do not care about. So I am not worried in the least. A Male. EDITOR'S NOTE: The opinions expressed in this column are not necessarily the editorial opinions of this paper.

Thus Mr. Sinclair loses more than a gubernatorial election . . . he loses the respect of the American public, which insists that a man be a good loser. That there was fraud connected with the California election is highly improbable— no one yet knows—yet there were certainly no grounds for Mr. Sinclair to make the bald statement that the election was stolen. It seems a pity that a man who has built up such a reputation for intelligence and progressive thinking as has Mr. Sinclair should dissipate this reputation by one thought uttered during the bitter hour of defeat. With a chance to become a figure of note in politics, and possibly be of genuine service to his state, he throws away his chances by proving that he "can't take it". Mr. Sinclair's story is that of the man who has so long been accustomed te success that defeat proves too big a dose. And since it is in defeat that the true size of a man is measured, Mr. Sinclair will be remembered by the public as a man not quite big enough for the job to which he aspired. * * * * PRIZE BONERS gleaned from the freshman themes of the present Junior class. "The officer stepped forward to garnish the hero." • "The storm was certainly an austere one." "The rules of this institution are not facade." "The limerick is wanted by the police." "Was he ingratiating that we took the valuables?" "The surface was glib." "Every cornice of the law was disclosed by the Senators." "Salt and chlorine admonish a sodium chloride solution." (To those interested, Professor Reeves might explain this remarkable chemical reaction.) "He is impaired with the desire to be a great man." "He spoke to her and called her scenario." "He was charged with embellishment of the bank funds." "God sent down mania for the Isrealite's food." "He talked anonymously all evening." * » * * WHILE I was writing the above, one of the society reporters who was reading over my shoulder insisted that there was nothing wrong with the third from the last sentence. i Just a four-year rat. * * » * AUBURNIA . . . Placards advertising the arrival of the latest vaudeville troupe at the Tiger . . . "Dance in Montgomery" strung over the main gate. . . . Methodist Sunday School to meet at 9:45 (think of it!) blazoned on streamer across main drag . . . and Will Durant slips in and out of town apparently unnoticed. * * * * LECTURE . . . I understand that Mr. Will Durant has worked up, at present, a half dozen or more lectures, one of which he delivered in Langdon Hall last Monday night. It would be a genuine pleasure, I believe, to hear any or all of them, for Mr. Durant is a compelling, entertaining speaker who seems to know thoroughly the subjects about which he' speaks. The address of Monday night was delivered in the same lucid and interesting style which distinguishes his numerous books and magazine articles. And, personally, I'm not at all averse to books and lectures being entertaining as well as informative. (Well, professors?) . . . It is unfortunate that Dr. Durant's talk was not more widely advertised. If it had been so, there is little doubt but that the vacant seats in Langdon Hall would have been occupied—quite a number of people either didn't know the event was even scheduled or were confused about the date. The organization which sponsored the lecture might take a hint from other groups in Auburn having entertainment to offer —however, a white line it not recommended. A few placards would serve as well. . . . The female contingent at the lecture appeared vastly amused at the speaker's numerous cracks at the stronger sex. The collective ego of the feminine part of the audience was being noticeably inflated—so much so that I was sorry for them when Mr. Durant deftly punctured their balloon of self-approbation. * * * * TAG ENDS . . . Tuesday afternoon, and I'm still a prospect for a suicide club. Address any attractive propositions to this column . . . I said suicide, not murder. . . . Something to read: Synge's "Riders to the Sea". It's a one act play which can be read in twenty minutes, and if you don't go around feeling tragic all over the place for two hours afterward, you're either a AUBURN FOOTPRINTS Dopey says he now calls his fern Argyrol—she's good for the eyes. * * * * * * Only two things prevent most Auburn men from being good dancers—their feet. How about some of the rest of you submitting some old jokes for Footprints. * * * * * * An article from the Atlanta Georgian: "The 'cockiest' telegram of the year arrived at the Mayor's office Friday. "From the the Auburn student body, it read: '"Auburn band will parade 10:45 Saturday. Provide escort.' "It was signed by Ed Prewitt, 'head cheer cadet'. "Acting Mayor Frank Reynolds obeyed the mandate after consulting Chairman Dan Bridges of the police committee and Chief Sturdivant." * * * * * * Oh, you Cheer Cadet Prewitt! * * * * * * They laughed when I started to make a new dynamite, but when I dropped it they exploded. Ed Note: This is a striking illustration of the new type wit which is sweeping the Auburn campus. * * * * * * "I hope this doesn't gum up the works", said Jitters Lewis as she swallowed her chewing gum. * * * * * * Students are finding it hard to determine whether their reports are really grades or one of Horton Smith's score cards. . * * * * * * Guess the town will be alive with interest caused by the departure of Dopey Ellis for Cincinnati last night. All Scabbard and Blade men are urged to attend the first meeting after he returns for he has promised to give a detailed report of his trip. Who knows, maybe he will find another "Bogger". * * * * * * Nothing worries a girl more than to learn that the man after her own heart is not after it at all. * * * * * * Upon moving in a room with double beds the other day, Frank Smith stated that he was extremely disturbed for he thought he and his room-mate were going to have a room all to themselves. * * * * * * As the Yellow Jackets came on the field last Saturday someone must have said, "Quick, Jack, the Flit". * * * * * * Believe it or not: Two dimes make twenty cents. Most University students do live in the South. The Empire State Building will not float. Skiing is prohibited in telephone booths. College is supposed to give one an education. Gandhi is not a Communist. A division of his wardrobe would be most revealing. WITHOUT THE PALE GEORGIA JOURNALISTS TO EDIT "GEORGIAN" Cooperating with the Atlanta Georgian, students of the Henry W. Grady School of Journalism will write the stories and headlines and makeup the front page of the Georgian's special "Homecoming" edition, to appear Homecoming Saturday, Nov. 17, John E. Drewry, director of the school, announced Wednesday. Stories for the front page will be written by the feature writing class and headlines will be composed by members of the class in newspaper management. The layout and makeup of the front page will be under the direction of Edward C. Crousse, associate professor of journalism. A wide variety of news and feature stories will be used on the front page. A story giving the "dope" about the two teams, Georgia and North Carolina State, will be the main story. Other stories to be featured will be a general story dealing with the main social events of the Homecoming week-end, a short history of previous Homecomings, and a review of early southern football. This special "Homecoming" edition, the first of its kind attempted in the South, will replace the usual evening edition of the Georgian which appears on the street about 10:30 a. m. each morning. * * * * SCORE BOARD BE ERECTED AT LOUISIANA U. Plans are being completed for a huge score board to be erected at the south end of the field of Tiger stadium in time for the Louisiana State university-Tulane annual football classic here December 1, according to T. P. Heard, athletic director. The score board will tower 47% feet above the ground, 27% feet of this being the score board and the other 20, giant girders to support the structure. The score board will measure 44 feet across, according to plans and blue prints being drawn up at present. The score board will include the names, numbers, and positions of all players on each team. The board will reveal the score of the game at the time, the quarter of the game being played, and the minutes to play in the quarter, and who has the ball at the time. * * * * COLORADO STUDENTS ENJOY OUTING One hundred and twenty naughty seniors sneaked away from classrooms and underclassmen Monday to spend an enjoyable profound cynic or dumber than most. . . Upon further reflection, I don't suppose loin cloths are out of place on figures of anthropomorphic deities . . . To Mademoiselle Barbarossa: Just exactly what did you mutter in that long blonde beard? day in the Big Thompson canyon. Nary a senior was to be found on the Aggie campus Monday. Those who were not locked in their rooms shivering from exposure, were enjoying their campfire along the river in Big Thompson canyon. Early Monday morning the seniors left Fort Collins and went to Sylvan Dale where they had breakfast and dinner. The hours between meals were spent riding horses, hiking, yelling and singing, and "raising whoopie" in general. In the evening a barbecue steak dinner was served, outside Montrose Inn preceding the annual sneakers' dance. * * * * DUKE STUDENTS SEEM TO BE EXTRAVAGANT Expenses are bound to mount up in a university as large as Duke, but need they be as great as they are? It seems to us there is a lot of money spent foolishly and a lot of money wasted in this institution. One thing which strikes us especially is the waste of electricity. Students thoughtlessly go off and leave lights burning for hours in their rooms. Sometimes the light is the closet is turned on in the morning and the student carelessly slams the door and hurries off to class, leaving it to burn all day. This is not the only place. Electricity is wasted in classrooms when professors and students alike walk out of class forgetting entirely about the light. Perhaps the next period it will be shut off but there may not be a class in that particular room for hours and unless the janitor happens by and shuts it off it burns indefinitely. This is just one of the many ways in which money could and should be saved at Duke. When the students ask for things from the administration the answer is usually, "We can't afford it." If the students would be a bit more careful and 'cooperate a little more with the university in economizing, they might be able to afford some of the things which the students desire.— V. M.

OFFICERS SEEK THEME FOR BALL Officers and advisers of the 1935 Fancy Dress Ball will have an opportunity Sunday afternoon to get an idea of what this year's ball will look like, when they view a private showing of the United Artists motion picture, "Congress Dances," at the New Theatre. The scene of the picture is laid in Vienna at the time of the Congress of Vienna of 1814-15, which is the same scene that has been chosen for the 29th Annual Ball. Through the courtesy of Ralph Daves and United Artists, the film has been brought here free of charge, for the benefit of Fancy Dress. FAQS AND FALLACIES By Flit 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. WHAT WEATHER this is for toasting one's hoofs by the fire. I was told that the official temperature in Auburn Monday morning was at the freezing point. I think the thermometer froze at the point and couldn't go any lower. But what I started off to say was that these present day gas heaters are the bunk. Scratch a match, turn a handle, and presto, radiant heat beams forth. It takes so little effort that we fail to appreciate the benefits. How much better it would be to haul in a load of wood to the back yard, get out the old trusty ax and chop the stuff up in fireplace lengths. Pine shavings and oak logs can't be beat. That's the way to enjoy a fireplace, and no real enjoyment can equal that gained in a quiet evening before the dancing, glowing, spitting, sputtering flames of burning oak logs. That's life. That's when tall stories are spun and glowing memories of the past are brought before the mind, memories of love, of the last fishing trip, and of countless other happenings. And if I had my way I would scrap every single gas hot water heater and replace them with the old fashioned wood burners. If a fellow is too lazy to get them fired in cold mornings before he takes his bath or shaves, let him stay dirty or else use cold water. We are getting too soft and flabby these days with weak minds to match. Hitler, the iron man of Germany, uses cold water entirely and states that warm water is only for the kids, women, and in some cases for the men who can't take it. * * * * Awhile back I mentioned some much needed things on this campus, all of which are obvious; but one more occurred to me which I consider to be worthwhile to mention here. Of course it would be impossible to bring it about as long as the people of this state continue to be so narrow minded. That is, the majority. What I have in mind is a real beer parlor for men only. Only beer would be sold. It would be a real beer parlor with sawdust two inches thick on the floor, a long brass foot railing, and a fat bartender such as bloomberg. It would be a gathering place for the intellect of the campus, a place where they could get together and sip beer while they discussed the various phrases of campus life and its problems. Five coppers for a large size mug would be the price and absolutely no females would be allowed. What the people of this state have against the sale of beer, I haven't yet figured out. All I can say is that the attitude they take is nothing less than foolish. German Universities are noted for the well trained minds they turn out and also for their beer parlors. The University of Wisconsin has one along with other "Yankee" Universities. Beer and bigger pretzels is my motto, and when that day comes around the common greeting on the campus here will be "have a beer on me". * * * * Saw something the other night on the train which made me regret all my moments of self-pity. A young man of not over thirty with a two weeks growth of beard and a bandaged head fainted away because of a recent mastoid operation. He had no friends with him—no money. He was on his way to Lake City Florida but had only passage to take him to Macon Georgia. For thirty minutes a trained nurse who happened to be on the train worked with him. It was finally necessary to wire ahead for a doctor to meet the train at the following town. He was revived, but there was no one on the train to be with him. Alone, sick, and broke. The nurse asked the passengers to contribute something to help this unfortunate fellow finish his trip home. Let no one say that the world is lost in self-interest, for there was apparently not a single person on the train who refused to help. Such things are extremely unfortunate, but they show that we are not superficial and apparently selfish' moderns.

Auburn Hi To Play Five Points In Game Auburn High's current grid campaign will be brought to a close Friday as the strong Five Points High eleven is * encountered here in a "Home-coming Game". The sponsor for the Auburn team will be Miss Elizabeth Rogers. Miss Rogers, daughter of Mr. and Mrs. T. S. Rogers, is one of the most popular members of the high school set and is chairman of the social committee of the senior class. Her escort will be Captain Gene Trotter, who is out of the game with injuries. Miss Suzelle Hare will act as Miss Rogers attendant, accompanied by Daniel Benson. The game Friday will start at three o'clock on the field back of the girl's gymnasium and will bring together two of the outstanding elevens of East Alabama. Auburn has conquered all of its opposition to date in very efficient fashion but the Pointers stand high in local football circles and will attempt to give the Auburn team its first defeat of the season. Auburn has won six straight games, amassing 133 points to their opponents 12. Auburn's latest victim is Opelika who played inspired football to hold the Baby Tigers to a 6-0 victory last Friday. Auburn paid dearly for this win, however, as Captain Gene Trotter, right halfback, and Roy Powell, quarterback, are both out for Friday's game. Trotter sustained a broken collar-bone in the opening minutes of the Opelika game, while Powell had a piece chipped off his elbow. Both are first-string backfield aces.

SSSHRKBHMMS P A G E FOUR T H E A U B U R N PLAINSMAN A L A B A M A POLYTECHNIC INSTITUTE WEDNESDAY, NOV. 14, 1934 High School Students Hear Irvine Lecture Lee County high school students were advised to be cautious in choosing "white collar" jobs, or the professions, as future life vocations by Dr. Paul Irvine of the Auburn school of education who said that such positions were available only to seven per cent of those who find after-school employment. Dr. Irvine said the outlook was favorable for increased employment in the fields of aeronautics, sound reproduction (including the radio, telephony and television), agriculture, the building trades, social sciences, and scientific research. Agriculture and industry comprise approximately one-half of the nation's employed, he said. His address, which outlined the possibilities of increased employment in various fields, was given as a part of the National Education Week series of programs planned for the students by the local Business and Professional Women's Club. The students were urged to "be thinking" about their future life work in preparation for the guidance clinic to be held Wednesday at which time Auburn business and professional women will hold conferences with the students. The object is to assist them in choosing a life work and "start planning for tomorrow"— theme of* the week's program. With the greater application of science and the increased availability of cheap power, Dr. Irvine predicts that the present generation will see the development of "a new kind of farmer". In the building trades he believes that the type of dwellings will be greatly revolutionized within the next two decades with the substitution of factory-made house-building units which may be erected within a week's time at much less expense than is possible at present. Television, he added, is already an actuality, the wide-spread use of which is only a matter of a few years. Even though employment in the automobile industry increased from 15,- 000 in 1910 to over 700,000 ten years later, he is not certain about its future expansion. Aeronautics, on the other hand, does offer a bright future for greater employment, he believes. The program was opened by Miss Virginia Igou, president of the Auburn Business and Professional Women's Club, who said that the organization had grown from 200 members in 1919 to more than 50,000 dt present with 1,350 clubs. More than $500,000 has been loaned by the clubs for the education of women. Plans for the guidance clinic were discussed by Miss Edna J. Orr of the College education faculty who is in charge of celebration of Education Week as chairman of the club's education committee. The guidance clinic will be directed by Miss Orr and Dr. Irvine.

Seems that Bing, being born in Washington, always yells for teams from that state. So when Washington State beat Southern California Bing not only picked up a few nickles and dimes for himself, but got a chance to cheer for the first time in years. In fact, he was so pleased that he wrote Coach Babe Hollingbery a letter about it. Bing got a note back, saying Babe liked the sentiments expressed, and would use it as a fight talk for his next game. » And in the next game Gonzaga upset the Cougars! Of course, Bing going to Gonzaga had nothing to do with it. * * * After looking over my column I sent all you Oakie admirers last week I showed it to Lyda Roberti, and she burned over that crack that there weren't any guys named 'ski' playing football. Lyda being more or less Polish she got all excited, and picked herself an All-American team, claiming that old Dr. Oakie didn't have exclusive rights to such. So being a gentleman at all times, I'm offering it to you, thus: Ends: Wojcinovski (Pitt) and Kor-chinski (Villanova); tackles: Yezer-ski (St. Marys) and Schilawski (Indiana); guards: Chyczewski (Carnegie Tech) and Gurzynski (Temple); center: Osmaloski (Iowa); quarter: Pelczynski (Buffalo); halfbacks: Brominski (Columbia) and Bialowski (LaFayette); fullback: Janowski (Wisconsin). ' And, as Lyda remarked, this team Auburn Allotted Sum From Education Fund Auburn has been allotted $77,639.58 of the $694,450.70 that .accured to the Alabama special educational trust fund during the month of October. This allotment is about one-eight of the entire years appropriation. It is practically the same as the allotment that was made at this time last year. Due to the payment of the whole years taxes in the fall by several of the largest corporations in the state, the trust fund receives a large part of it's appropriations during October. For the next few months the fund will be dependent upon the tobacco tax for revenue. Of the total made available $398,- 614.58 to Auburn and $26,041.90 to Alabama College. Because of a Supreme Court ruling in June making invalid any educational appropriation from the general fund, the schools of the state are dependent entirely upon allotment from the state educational trust funds. Bank Deposits Here Show Big Increase • / Bank deposits in Auburn have shown an average increase in the last year of about 30 per cent. This great increase has been attributed to several different factors, namely; the payment of the faculty in negotiable bonds, the increased enrollment .this year over last, and others. Deposits of Alabama's 209 licensed commercial banks were reported by the Federal Deposit Insurance Corporation to have increased approximately $9,000,000 from December 30, 1933 to June 30. The report covered 94 per cent of the licensed banks of the state. Leo T. Crowley of the Corporation said he believed "the confidence en-genered by deposit insurance has been an important factor in promoting this substantial increase in deposits." can easily complete the longest pass in history. Brominski to Wojcinovski. In lesser words, from Pole to Pole. * * * A team like that would give any radio announcer a headache, but here's old Dr. Oakie's prizewinner for the year. Imagine Ted Husing or Graham McNamee trying to get this one off at a critical moment: "Pitt's Nicksick quick-kicked!" Try that one on your piano, or even your piccolo, if your piano isn't handy. * * * What this country needs is more Irish football players. Like in "College Rhythm," which I just pulled through for Paramount, I play a guy named "Love and Kisses" Finnegan. I never did find out what his first name was. But with a name like Finnegan I couldn't help but be a success. There hasn't been a stand-out Irisher since Johnny O'Brien of Notre Dame. * * * Old Dr. Oakie doesn't like to brag, but did you notice that he predicted Princeton would play in the Rose Bowl game out here on New Year's Day? Those Tigers are still kicking right along, even if W. and L. did give 'em a scare. In fact, West Virginia beat the Presidents worse than Princeton did. But you'll recall that my old pal, Frank Anthony is now line-coaching at West Virginia, and Frank really knows his lines. If I knew my lines half as well I'd be a swell actor. * * * It's a good thing I got myself into condition to be a hardy football warrior for "College Rhythm," for now I'm supposed to be in a fight picture next. Max Baer is making a picture on the lot, and I've been belting him around the gym a bit, just to see if the old right hand is in shape. As I say, I've been belting Max, but I'm prepared to light out in a hurry if those guys I got holding him ever let go.

We've told you about the paper—that it's pure and burns right, without taste or odor. We have said that Chesterfields are made right. The tobaccos are aged, then blended and cross-blended, and cut into shreds the right width and length to smoke right. These things are done to make what people want—a cigarette that's milder, a cigarette that tastes better — a cigarette that satisfies. You can prove what we tell you about Chesterfield. May we ask you to try them — that would seem to be fair enough. TIGERS HUMBLE TECH ELEVEN IN THRILLING GAME (Continued from Page 1) any back that Auburn has encountered this season.
