Fine Season Finished By Local Rifle Team Auburn's rifle team, coached by Lt. H. W. Ehrgott, completed its 1934- 35 season last week when the last stage of the Inter-Collegiate match for the National Championship was fired. According to Lieutenant Ehrgott, the results of this competition will not be known until about May 1, but it is expected that Auburn will stand in about tenth place when the final standings are announced. Only the ranking teams in each corp area are entered in the national match. Also finished last week were the finals of the Corp Area competition. Out of a total of 52 postal matches fired during the season with teams - throughout the country, Auburn won 37 by an average of 156 points and lost nine by an average of 19 points. No scores have been received for the other matches. During the season, and for the first time in the history of the rifle team, eight shoulder-to-shoulder matches were fired With Ga. Tech, Georgia, Alabama, and Louisiana State University, all of which were won by the Auburn team. Keen rivalry existed between Auburn and Georgia Tech during the competitions, with Auburn winning from them in both the shoulder-to-shoulder contests and the Corps Area competition by slight margins of from three to five points. But in the final postal matches fired between the two schools last week, Tech defeated Auburn by a margin of 16 points out of 4,000. The teams met at two other times last season in the Heart Trophy and National Inter-Collegiate competitions. The freshman team also has a successful season, winning from nine of the foremost military colleges in the country and losing by close margins to Lanier High School and Culver Military Academy. The freshmen also fired in the varsity matches. (Continued on page 4) Miss Julia Lamar Chosen To Lead Grand March At Interfrat Council . Dance; Plans For Affair Are Laid Plans for the Interfraternity Council Ball, to be given in the Alumni Gymnasium Friday night, April 19, are nearing completion, according to Howard Morris, president of the group. » The dance, to get under way at 9 o'clock, will last until 1 o'clock and will include two council lead-outs and three no-breaks, with a Grand March to be led by Miss Julia Lamar, of Florida State Woman's College, Tallahassee, Fla., escorted by Howard Morris. The Auburn Knights will furnish music for the affair. Bid cards are now ready and can be obtained at the Tiger Drug Co., and at all the fraternity houses. They will be taken up at noon Monday, April 8. At its last meeting, the Interfraternity Council voted to make the dance a sport affair, which marks the first time in several years that the dance has not been formal. It was also decided at the meeting that the two council members from each fraternity along with eight other members of the fraternity will be the maximum number of men to attend the dance from each chapter. Through this rule it is planned that approximately 220 fraternity men will be in attendance at the dance. Decoration of the dance hall is being handled by L. P. Wood, and bids for the decorations are now being received. It is planned that the hall be decorated along a sports scheme with a display of all campus fraternity pennants. C. W. Walter is in charge of the music for the affair, with Jack Tabor as director of arrangements. The Interfraternity Ball each year is considered to be one of the social high lights of the season. TIGERS ENGAGE BULLDOGS HERE IN TWO GAMES First Game Of Season To Be Played This Afternoon; Ga. Has Strong Diamond Outfit LINEUP BE CHANGED Auburn Bids For Conference Crown As Season Begins; Mitchell Is Probable Starter TRINITY CHOIR TO BE HEARD SUNDAY NIGHT IN CONCERT Mrs. H. V. Carson Will Direct Group Be Presented In Concert At Presbyterian Church The Trinity Presbyterian Choir, under the direction of Mrs. H. V. Carson, will be heard in a sacred concert in the Auburn Presbyterian Church on Sunday evening at 7:30. The Choir will present "The Seven Last Words of Christ" by DuBois. " 'Tis Midnight and on Olive's Brow," will be used for the processional, and Joseph Petranka, violinist, will play "Hymn to St. Cecelia," by Gounod, for the Offertory. This lenten cantata by the French composer, Theodore DuBois, was written and produced on Good Friday, 1867 while the composer was Maitre de Chapelle of Ste. Clotilde, Paris. DuBois wrote operas and compositions for piano, organ and violin. His fame rests on his church music, masses and cantatas and he excelled in the latter. He studied at Rheims and in 1861 won the Grand Prix de Rome. "Les Sept Paroles du Christ" is considered one of the most beautiful of sacred cantatas and is used each season by choirs both in the old country and in America. The beauty and solemnity of the words which are sung as solo, are supported by the very dramatic shouts and cries of the crowd which are heard from the mixed chorus voices. The Trinity Choir has been organized for four years with Mrs. H. V. Carson as director and Mrs. J. H. Walker organist, and has appeared in sacred and secular concerts in Montgomery and several cities of Alabama. This Lenten program will be presented in Montgomery April 14, in Birmingham April 19, and in Prattville April 21. The personnel of the Choir is as follows: sopranos, Mrs. H. V. Carson, Mrs. J. T. Alley, Mrs. J. B. Noble, Mrs. Bernie Acton, Mrs. June Pierce, Mrs. J. A. Sutter, Miss Eleanor Hooper; Contraltos, Mrs. Luther Smith, Mrs. Charles Ball, Mrs. Hugh Adams, Miss Katrine Nickel and Frances Berry; Tenors, Earl Chambless, Lem Ed-mundson, June Pierce, William Cromwell, C. T. Fitzpatrick, J. A. Sutter; Basses, Joseph Petranka, Martin Teague, Henry Griffith, Jack Raw-lings, and Dr. B. F. Austin. NOTICE Former 4-H Club members.

CO-ED GOVERNING BODY ELECTED AT MEET WEDNESDAY Mary Jim Enloe Chosen President Of Women's Student Council At Open Session Election of officers of the Women's Student Council was held Wednesday in an open meeting of the Women's Student Government Association. Mary Jim Enloe, Langdale, was elected president of the Council, and Senior Representative. Miss Enloe has been a member of the Council during the past year, and has been active in sorority and campus activities in general. Albina Pearce, Millstead, was chosen as vice-president of the Council. She has also been on the group during the past year, and is a prominent campus leader. Other members of the Council chos en Wednesday include Florence Hodges, Langdale, as house president of Smith Hall; Helen Tigner, Columbus, as junior representative and secretary of the body; Jane Eaton, Auburn, town representative; and Ester Weeks, Fort Benning, sophomore representative and treasurer. A freshman member will be chosen early next fall, it was announced. The Women's Student Council is the governing body of the Women's Student Government Association, serving in disciplinary and general executive capacities. Retiring members of the group are Lucy Meadows, president: Velma Patterson, Emma Bennett Sellers, Mary Haygood, and Mildred Wadkins. After having held the world champion St. Louis Cardinals to a 5-1 score at Cramton Bowl in Montgomery yesterday, the Auburn Tigers will open a two day stand against the University of Georgia at Drake Field this afternoon. The opening game, starting at 3 P. M., will probably find either Muggs Erwin or Joe Bob Mitchell on the mound for the Plainsmen. Saturday's game will also start at 3 P. M. Today's game will be the start of Auburn's pennant race for the Southeastern Conference Championship. Having already shown considerable strength against the Troy State Teachers College and the St. Louis Cardinals, ihe Plainsmen are regarded as potential winners of the crown. The Bulldogs are also championship aspirants and should provide plenty of competition for the Tigers. Coach Catfish Smith has a veteran club, including a seasoned hurler in Nichols, who is expected to be a big factor in this season's race. Coach Morgan is likely to have three newcomers in today's tilt with the Bulldogs. The three new faces will probably be Joe Stewart at third, Louis Mathews at second, and Collins Fenton behind the plate. These three performed creditably against the Cardinals and should make the team slightly stronger than it was against Troy. (Continued on page 4) Business Fraternity Issues Publication Prof. F. W. Applebee Attends Art League Professor Frank W. Applebee, head professor of the Applied Art Department, is attending the fifteenth annual convention of the Southern States Art League, held this year in the Parthenon at Nashville, Tennessee.

Professors Applebee and Staples and the Department of Applied Art are active members of the League, and are working to promote art interests in Alabama. Delta Sigma Pi, honorary business fraternity, has recently issued its chapter publication, The Beta Lambda Ledger, in an enlarged form that has received considerable favorable comment from other chapters, according to Miller Pitts, President of the Auburn Beta Lambda Chapter. Edited by Cecil Padgett, the eight page pahphlet outlines all the chapters activities for the year, and contains an up-to-date listing of chapter alumni. The local chapter of Delta Sigma Pi has been one of the most active honorary societies on the campus for the past two years, carrying out a well-defined program of activities that make it a valuable extra curricular training school for its members. A lodge about three miles from town has been constructed and serves as the social center of the group. Meetings are divided in three classes, discussion, business and social, with two discussion meetings and one business and one social occasion each month. A number of noted speakers have been guests of the club, and contemporary events of an economic na-' ture have received serious discussion by the members. Officers of the club are Miller Pitts, President; John Overton, Vice-President; Jack Shaw, Secretary; and John Orr, Treasurer. Horse Show Will Be Held Here On May 1 The annual R. O. T. C. Horse Show, sponsored by the Military Department, will be held in Auburn about May 1, according to an announcement by Capt. Tom Gunby, who is in charge of the show. Many features are planned this year to include 12 events in all. It is expected by Capt. Gunby that the exhibition this year will exceed those of past years as already considerable interest has been shown in riding as well as much enthusiasm over preparations. The show will include the following events: senior, junior, and sophomore jumping; sophomore exhibition riding; ladies saddle horses, three gaited; best polo pony; bending race; open jumping; and musical chairs. Three extra features have been added this year in an attempt to create more interest in the show on the part of people outside the college with privately owned mounts. These events being for saddle horses, ponies and colts. Persons living in the vicinity of Auburn or Opelika who have pri-yately owned mounts are invited to take part in these events. Silver loving cups will be awarded to the winners in each event. Practice for all students interested in trying out for one or more of the events will be held from four to five o'clock in the afternoons with specified days for the three classes. The schedule is as follows: Seniors, Monday and Tuesday; Juniors, Thursday and Friday, and Saturday from 9 to 10 o'clock; and sophomores, Monday, Tuesday and Thursday. Students desiring to enter the horse show are asked to sign up at the military office, giving days when they can practice. Also, students are asked to report to Capt. Gunby at the stables on the first of the scheduled days that they can practice. The show is annually sponsored by the Military Department in the interest of improving horsemanship among the students who will leave the college as reserve officers and to promote general interest in mounted sports and horses.

A western tour and lecture course, under the direction of Prof. Walter M. Jackson, principal of the Selma High School and an outstanding educator in Alabama, has been added to the summer school curricula at Auburn, according to a recent announcement by Dean Zebulon Judd. The class will meet at Auburn June 14th and will leave for a bus tour of seventeen states and Old Mexico on June 20th. Thirty-six days will be spent in travel, with ten lectures included in the course; the class will then return to Auburn to remain three days and finish the course. This unusual educational course is listed in the summer school catalogue as S.499, A tour of Western America. A maximum of six semester hours credit can be gained from the study tour and the credit can be applied either to a B.S. or M.A. degree. The trip will be available also to a few persons who are not seeking college credit. The new course marks the first time that a southern college has given credit for travel learning, which will combine observation, impressions, and text-book study. Interesting and informative lectures, and a shelf of books containing information about the sites visited will be features of the trip. Many points of scenic interest, the great engineering projects of the West, historical points of interest, some of the more important cities of that region, and Western educational institutions will be visited. Five Sons Of Farmer Graduate From Here Horticulture Dept. Gets New Professor Mr. E. W. McElwee has been appointed as assistant professor in the Department of Horticulture, according to information received from the Executive Secretary's office. McElwee succeeds Prof. John W. Hyde, who recently resigned his position with the college. A native of Mississippi, McElwee received a Bachelor of Science degree from Mississippi State College in 1930. He later attended Auburn and holds increased attendance at a minimum the Master of Science degree from this cost to the people of the State. institution. With four sons holding degrees from Auburn, W. O. Johnson, a farmer of the Fish Pond community in Coosa County, expects his fifth son to graduate at this institution at the commencement on May 27 of this year. His oldest son, Rowe, graduated in 1927, and is now principal of a high school in Butler County; Herman graduated in 1928 and is an architect at Washington; Thomas graduated in 1933 and is a junior engineer with the War Department; Oel graduated in 1934 and is a finance officer with the CCC at Gloster, Mississippi. Otis, who is to graduate this year, is taking chemical engineering. Herman drew plans for several buildings at Maxwell Field, Montgomery, and, he also designed the chair which the President uses at Arlington. Two younger sons of Mr. Johnson are expecting to attend Auburn. A daughter who is now married, was a summer session student here. All records were smashed yesterday when 796 students voted in the election of 18 representatives to the Executive Cabinet in a campus-wide election. The previous record number of votes to be cast in an election of Cabinet members was established last year when 677 students voted. The election was featured by several heated contests within the various schools. The bitterest fight for Cabinet berths was waged among the four students who sought the two senior positions from the School of Engineering. Gordon McKinney and Bill Mc- Tyeire emerged victorious in the contest, the former gathering 175 votes with McTyeire running him a close second with 172. The other two candidates, Lee Ross Ellenburg and Billy Thomas, tallied 91 and 157 votes respectively. Vernie Holloway walked away with the race for junior representative from the same school in defeating T. N. Powell, while Jarvis Brown will assume the position as sophomore representative from the Engineering School. He was unopposed. C. Witty Walter garnered enough votes to give him almost 2 to 1 majority over Jimmie Vance in the race for senior representative from the School of Science and Literature. Walter eeunted 162 votes while Vance tallied 87. Joe Sarver won out in the race for junior representative from the Science and Literature School in gathering 116 votes to his two opponents', Tom McGehee and Bob Creel, 49 and 82 respectively. Edward Duncan was victorious in the race for sophomore representative to the Cabinet. He amassed a total of 131 votes against 63 and 52 for David Hamilton and Morriss Ellis, respectively. In the election of representatives from the School of Chemistry and Pharmacy,'Hardie Deer and Bill Lee were named senior and junior representative to the Cabinet respectfully. Deer defeated Billy Wingo by an 85 to 55 count, while Lee lead Mark Carr and Bill Mayville by a 75 to 48 to 12 result. (Continued on Page 4) .

The student body placed a great amount of responsibility on the • shoulders of these eighteen students who are supposed to crack the whip over student government at Auburn next year. The Plainsman urges each of the students chosen to the Cabinet to be cognizant of the duties which they will be expected to discharge. Let them not be content now that they have been elevated to the offices which they sought. The election to the Cabinet should not be considered as the goal of these students. The ultimate goal should be the placing of the governing body on the high pedestal which will be theirs when the group performs its proper functions. / The student body knows that student government at Auburn has suffered from ridicule and non-support of various campus groups ever since the Executfve Cabinet was set up. It is the new Cabinet's duty to put student government on its feet, to make it a real and respected power on the campus, and to guide the destinies of student organizations toward the desired goal. It is to be hoped that next year will mark the revival of sincere interest in the Executive Cabinet. The success of student government during the ensuing year will be determined in a large measure by the officers who will be selected to head the body and by the combined efforts of the entire group to accomplish that which other Cabinets have neglected—a smooth working, efficient, and powerful government organization. Those new Cabinet members who have the good of Auburn at heart are fortunate in that many opportunities for service to the student body will be theirs next year. Plans for the improvement, of student government organizations have been laid this year. These plans should be studied by the new Cabinet with the idea of taking the best parts of each and incorporating them into a logical proposal to be submitted to the student body next fall. It will be only after several changes in the Cabinet setup, and then only, that student government will fulfill its proper functions on the Auburn campus. screen is especially commendable. Until several Auburn students informed us differently we thought that there was nothing original nor unusual in nude women. We had labored under the impression that they look the same as they did a thousand years ago. But the sophisticated Auburn man has taught us that vulgar displays of female flesh are of the very best entertainment. We suppose that this group of wise-crackers must have their say. Why not hold a weekly meeting in Langdon Hall where everybody can wisecrack, make catcalls, give horse laughs, and . tell dirty jokes. The meeting should last long enough for all of these cultured traits to be amply expressed. Such an arrangement might allow us to regain our illusions as to the real worth of picture shows and would certainly meet the approval of the movie-goers, r Theatre Entertainers The wisecracker we have with us always. And particularly prominent is the picture show wisecracker. He is there for every picture. And five minutes can not elapse without some subtle observation from our wit. This adds charm to the program. But wisecracking is not the only attractive practice maintained by the Auburn student body in the local theatre. Boisterous laughter, in a variety of tones, echoes and re-echoes throughout the amusement hall. We were singularly impressed by the conduct of one of our more cultured co-eds at a recent vaudeville presentation. She did everything but' stand on her head each time the comedian told a joke, thus giving expression to an innate refinement of no mean order. And memories of those students who burst forth with ear-splitting laughter during the tense and dramatic scenes in movies shown here will linger as the most pleasant of our college career. Picture shows have always satisfied our inborn love for the sentimental in a most excellent fashion and diverted our minds from cynical paths in an extremely effective manner. However, when we have such a large group of local artists who can supply us with the same entertainment through its boorish howls and outpourings of savage minds we need not attend the movies. And the manner in which the student body expresses its sex instincts when a half-naked female makes her appearance on the Why Not A Sales Tax? Administration after administration, the same old cry of "we've got to have more revenue" arises with considerable volume from the individual groups whose demands, strangely enough, increase with every passing year. And legislators wonder, not without cause, why they ever became legislators at all. With a tax on land that is too high at the present time, with every other possible source of income exhausted, the only solution of the present financial dilemma of Alabama seems to be a sales tax. Despite the fact that many members of the 1935 Legislature are pledged to vote against such a measure, there seems to be a rising sentiment for such a revenue-producing bill and the passage of a sales tax seems more than likely at the present time. Opposition to the sales tax arises principally from merchants, of course. Those merchants who are in the central portions of the state object purely on account of the amount of bookkeeping that a sales tax would involve, while those on the borders object, rightfully enough, on the basis of neighboring states pulling away their own trade. The first objection to the sales tax, from the centrally-located merchants, can be discounted by asserting that the increased amount of salaries and wages paid by the state would bring about a rise in sales that would more than pay for the extra trouble of keeping books. The second, can be also partially discounted for the inherent laziness of most people would prevent them from crossing the borders of another state just to save a few cents. It would only be on cigarettes and like articles that there would be any great transference of real income to the merchants of another state. It would also seem that a sales tax is necessary if Auburn and the other educational units of the state are to operate at their maximum efficiency. However, on the basis of past experience it is doubtful if the citizens of Alabama care much whether Auburn, Alabama and other higher institutions of learning operate at all. Education or anything else is a great thing, until one has to begin paying for it out of his own pocket. JOCULARITIES By Jeremiah Juttingham Protect Our Maidens Wednesday the co-eds elected a Women's Student Council for next year. Insofar as we are able to observe, this group represents a rather diversified type of young woman. Some of them have been instrumental in fostering worthy activities here this year, and all have been valuable and prominent membei-s of the student body. To them we tender our profound sympathy. While we realize that the Council has very little to do with the actual modification or changing of rules, we once more suggest that the group most directly involved, the dormitory inmates, get together and do something to change the rules, which had their origin in the Dark Ages. Yes, we do not envy the new Council their jobs. To enforce a set of rules in which no intelligent young woman could possibly believe, is a very unenviable task. We hope they make "good" Council members, whatever that might mean.

EDITOR'S NOTE: The opinions expressed -~ this column are not necessarily the editorial opinions of this paper. It is a column o: personal comment, and is net to be read as an expression of our editorial policy. * * * * SHADES OF ANDY VOLSTEAD! Alabama legislators are talking about a referendum on beer before summer rolls around, the idea being that when the sun beats down, people would drink beer— enough beer to get the state partially out of its financial hole. Somehow we can't see Alabamians drinking much beer. Georgians don't, Mississip-pians don't, and Floridians don't. And somehow we don't think Alabamians would either. Beer is a beverage that belongs to a lackadaisical civilization. Here in Alabama we have not yet reached a state of civilization that permits our getting tight slowly and gentlemanly. We have to get loopey in thirty minutes or not at all. And it requires a lot of beer to get loopey, and thirty minutes, ooh! Beside the sentimental aspects of the case, there are the more material considerations to be looked into. In the first place, such a referendum would cost the state $38,000— which is a lot of money. And second, would such a measure pass? It didn't pass when combined with a liquor referendum. Is there any assurance that it would pass by itself? We think not. There are too many editors in Alabama, there are too many country preachers who go into very proper hysterics when modification or "beer" is mentioned. We can rest assured that in the event" the legislature were to pass beer referendum legislation a hue and cry would arise far and wide that the wet newspapers were just after some advertising, that the youth of our fair state stood danger of contamination by the product of the bad old Milwaukee brewers, and that Alabama was straight down the road to hell in case beer were legalized. No, everything considered, a beer referendum would seem to be most inadvisable at this time. We must keep Alabama pure and untrammeled, you know. * * * * There was once a day when education of the masses was hailed as the supreme cure of mankind's many ills, economic and otherwise. But that rosy day is gone, and a skepticism concerning education in general has assailed many of the most mature thinkers of the United States. It has been said that when you educate •a man you bring about his personal happiness; the educated man was the final goal and attainment of organized society. While the world is not yet ready to sneer with the cynicists who say that education makes fools more foolish, by giving them a falsified idea of their own erudition, it is beginning to realize that education can often lead to a dissatisfaction that cannot be obliterated by the limited means that many poverty-stricken persons have available. Here at Auburn can be seen one of the supreme examples of the dubious values of mass education. We have hundreds of students here who can never make good engineers, or business men, or horse doctors, or good anythings that required brains, and yet professors are obliged to struggle through classes with these same clods, and those students who apparently have some degree of intelligence are held back because classroom standards have to be brought down to the level of these simple souls. While most of us who profess to be at least passably intelligent can at least partially agree to this idea, there is of course the point of view of the stupid clods to be considered. After all have they not been told that a college education will assure them of a fair job upon graduation, that to know something about literature and calculus and Spanish is very desirable to culture in general, and that in short, they will be valued members ofsociety when they get their B.S. degree in May? And yet how few of this year's graduates ever think or worry at all about where the world or us is going? How many of them read and part of the newspapers except the sports page and the comics? How many of them go to see any kind of movies except the musical comedies, and Gable-Crawford romances? How many of them read anything beyond pulp magazines of the cheapest order?

WITHOUT THE PALE CO-EDS AT DUKE BOYCOTT CHRONICLE AND ADVERTISING INCREASES Editor Johnny Moorehead, of the Duke Chronicle, has a problem of great ramifications on his hands. Duke co-eds are up in arms over a story concerning the election of the Duke May Queen and her Court which was recently carried in the Chronicle. The women allowed as how it misrepresented the real facts concerning the selection of the Queen. And so the co-eds, by a 540 to 140 vote, pledged themselves to boycott the March 22 issue of the paper. Leaders in the move formed a parade which included number of women students in a demonstration against the Duke publication. A group of women stormed the Chronicle offices. Others marched across the campus shouting "Hallelujah, Hallelujah, We Don't Want The Chronicle" and beating tin pans, etc. The co-ed group informed Chronicle advertisers that their ads would not be read and that there was no need for them to print ads designed to attract co-ed customers. The whole affair seems to be quite amusing with the result that all Chronicle advertising records for the 31 years of its history were broken in the "Boycott Issue," which carried 550 column inches of advertising. Business Manager Moss, of the Plainsman is fervently praying that local women politicians will be as patriotic as those of Duke University—"We want a co-ed boycott of The Plainsman" shouted Moss after reading an account'.of the Duke situation. * * * * CAROLINA PAPER SPONSORS BEARD-GROWING CONTEST A unique event in the form of a beard-growing contest is being sponsored by the University of South Carolina Gamecock, according to a recent announcement in the paper.

BIRMINGHAM PASTOR STRESSES VALUE OF FRIENDS IN MERCER TALK Speaking before the faculty and students of Mercer University at chapel hour recently, Dr. Frank MacDonald, pastor of the Woodlawn Baptist Church, Birmingham, warned his audience that the world will take notice of one through the friendships he forms. "What would a fellow do without his friends?" he querried after having recounted a number of instances in his life in which friendship had helped him to success or happiness. He scored the person who considers himself a self-made man, saying that this type of person never stops to consider the number of people who have made his way easier for him through friendships that he had formed on the way up the ladder. And there is a lot of wisdom in Dr. Mac- Donald's words. * * * * KINGFISH REFUSES TO SHARE COST OF 'PHONE CALL FROM 'BAMA FRAT Evidently Huey Long doesn't intend for his Share-the-Wealth campaign to include Sharing-the-Cost of telephone messages concerning his plan. Recently a group of S. A. E.'s at the University of Alabama decided to phone "Hooey" in Washington to get him to straighten out an argument about the merits and demerits of his ideas. This method decided upon, Duke Sudbury, manager of the Alabama Cavaliers, contacted the King-fish's secretary in the nation's capitol, but Huey's assistant refused to call the Senator to the telephone when asked if the Louisiana boss would pay for the call. Questioned by the secretary as to the reasons for asking Long to pay the toll, Sudbury retorted, "Why, we' thought that if Huey believed in Sharing-the-Wealth, he wouldn't mind Sharing-the-Cost." * * * * GEORGE WASHINGTON UNIVERSITY STUDENTS PLAN WAR STRIKE Representatives of six student organizations at George Washington University recently met to formulate plans for a "strike against war" demonstration on the campus, to be held April 12, as a part of a nationwide movement. The feasibility of a strike for night school students to be held the same day was also discussed. * * * * V. M. I.-WASHINGTON AND LEE GRID TEAMS MEET IN SPRING PRACTICE GAME All precedent was broken recently when the V. M. I. and Washington and Lee football teams met in practice scrimmages. The two campuses adjoin each other in Lexington, Va. No score was kept, and no yardage was marked. Each team was given the ball for half the time. There is a tremendous rivalry between the two schools, and the unusual spring training game adds one more event to the list of athletic meetings of these rival colleges. EDITOR'S NOTE: The opinions expressed in this column are not necessarily the editorial opinions of this paper. It is a coiumn of personal comment, and is not to be read as an expression of our editorial policy. HISTORY . . . . The R. O. T. C. instructors recent lectures on the various wars engaged in by these United States do not exactly agree, fact for fact, with those glorious accounts of these same wars which are found in all grammar and high school textbooks. They even exceed our more advanced college textbooks in stripping the fiction and tinsel from our military history. This seems a rather strange policy for the War Department, of all the departments in the college, to pursue. According to the present crop of critics of R. O. T. C. instruction in colleges, it is the purpose of the instructors to inculcate us with the military mind, imbue us with a false pride in our country's glorious history, and clothe all past operations of our military forces in a cloak of heroism and patriotic sacrifice. If this is the purpose of our instructors, they have faijed miserably. Their straightforward accounts of our various military campaigns and their rather caustic comment on certain phases of them that could by no means be called heroic, together with their accounts of the political chicanery that has characterized most of our wars have just been another means of aiding us in removing the halo that our high-school "larn'in" caused us to place upon every detail of our country's past. * * * * "WAR" . . . . Said that grizzled old veteran of the Civil War, General Sherman, "is hell." Maybe he was right and then maybe he wasn't, but if he was by any chance refering to War drill yesterday he certainly was right. We think, and seriously, that some of the millions of dollars that the government is putting into circulation should be used to buy cotton uniforms for the cadets who are going through fire for their beloved country. It really seems that some other sort of uniform could be obtained that would be at least slightly comfortable. But to wear the same uniform winter and summer is just too much. We doubt if even Satan himself wears a wool shirt and wool pants. - . * * * * TENNIS . . . . We congratulate the tennis team (who although they lost their first game of this season to Mississippi State, have displayed a spirit and a tenacity of purpose that is the true Auburn Spirit. Although they are receiving no recognition from the athletic department, they are striving against rather discouraging odds to bring tennis to its rightful important position among sports. * * * * BROKEN HEARTS . . . A report from Sniff and Snoop, our campus dirt diggers, informs us that Drake field is a vale of sorrow as evidenced by the tears shed by the track team. The reason being that Coach Hutsell has laid down the law to them and has practically obliterated the "Courting" time. Among those whose true love is about to become smoke in their eyes—at least until after the track season—are: Bill Crane, local weight man who has established an all time love record of five years with Mildred Wadkins, society editor; Gait, after running the last quarter mile with his tongue hanging out, limits his actions in the Western section of town to the daylight hours; Ward Wright still faithful to his red-headed Rosalie says that in the future his running around will be limited to the track; Hugh Rodgers and Bennie Vail hanging over a table at Unk's gazing at Jessica Boles and Elizabeth Mims; Hamp Williams remains wild and wooly—at least he still prefers the Indian; the persistent Bobby Blake still dating Hammond's girl; Weaver and Kilgore still vieing for the favor of Anne Whatley; quoting Ralph Tolve, shot-put and flash man, "She's crazy about me" and his speaking of Sarah Smith.

Fred Black and Bill McTyeire plotting political campaigns against the white folks . . . . Mildred Wadkins chasing all over the campus Tuesday to pin that red Cardinal Key ribbon on Janie Slack—congratulations Janie Wakefield exhibiting her proclivity by dating (again) fullback Harry Whitten. * * * * . TAG ENDS . . . . His nomination for the most important person in any gathering— Jeremiah (A.) Juttingham with his little notebook and pencil trying desperately to get material for a column. 'Tis rumored that he had intentions of writing an exposition of the many junior under-cover political rings—that is until he talked, or rather he was talked to by a certain junior. Although painful, the lessons learned during a depression are useful.

Joel Eaves and John Tipper managed to check the Red Bird sluggers and limited the world champions to eight hits. Tinning breezed through the game with ease, limiting the Plainsmen to four bingles. Auburn's play on the field was almost flawless, except for a misjudged bounder by Mathews. Joe Stewart handled third in a nice fashion and made one sensational stop by going into the dirt after one of Pepper Martin's swats. Scarborough did some fancy work out in center, hauling down several blows that looked like certain hits. The Tigers were fairly weak with the willow, but that was to be expected with one of the National League's outstanding pitchers facing them. Even if the majority of Tiger batsmen couldn't hit major league hurling, Mathews found Tinning easy to get at. In four times up he lammed out two safeties and scored the only Auburn run. The Tigers opened the first inning by scoring their only run of the game. A high fly into right field, aided by a wild throw, enabled Mathews to romp home. In the second frame the Cardinals tied up the score, and then in the third added three more runs to put the game on ice. Eaves, hurling the first three innings, was responsible for four Cardinal runs. Tipper fared better than his teammate. He hurled the remainder of the game and allowed one run in the fourth, that being due to wildness on the part of the Tiger hurler.

TIGER GROWLS B y O B S E R V E R; With tennis talk in the air, and interest in the sport definitely on the upgrade, a few predictions concerning the forthcoming Interfrat competition might not be amiss at this time. Of all the sports in which tournaments are sponsored by the Council tennis is the one game where some predictions from the year before can be made, as only two men perform and their playing is usually consistent from year to year. We pick the four semi-finalists in the tennis tournament, without trying to be arbitrary or trying to discourage any other teams, Kappa Alpha, Sigma Nu, Delta Sigma Phi, and Sigma Alpha Epsilon. K. A. drew an unusually easy division. Encountering Sigma PHn the first round, who will probably be represented by Fog Davidson, Chris Guilford or Jap Parrish, K. A.'s two rack-et- wielders, Doc Stanley and Bevo Biggin should have little trouble in advancing to the second round. Alpha Psi furnishes the opposition at this point, and while Alvin Pass and Andrew McCreary are fairly capable tennis players, are not quite the equal of Biggin and Stanley. In the quarter- finals, K. A.'s team will meet Alpha Gamma Rho, Sigma Chi or T. U. O. Unless some unexpected talent has blossomed forth in the Sigma Chi and T. U. O. lodges, Alpha Gamma Rho should be quarter-finalists, opposing K. A. * * * In the next bracket, Sigma Nu dominates things rather completely. Cam and Glenn Mitchell, winners two years ago, and one of the outstanding doubles combinations ever attending school here, should have no great difficulty in reaching the semi-finals, and possibly the finals. Meeting Pi Kappa Phi in the second round, the Sigma Nu team engages its strongest opposition as James Tyson and Rudy Martin are both capable tennis players, and are formidable on several counts. If this net combination is upset, Sigma Nu has easy sailing as A. T. O., A. L. T. or Beta Kappa look very strong. Copeland, A. T. O., is probably the outstanding player in any of these three frats but without a very able partner prospects down A. T. O. way are gloomy. Beta Kappa has also made pretty good showings on previous occasions but look rather weak at this time. Delta Sigma Phi, with 1934 champions, George Poole and Louis Busen-leiner back, has a semi-finalist position practically sewed up. Meeting the winner of the Pi K. A.-S. P. E. vs. T. K. N. match, Delta Sigma Phi should have little difficulty in trimming any of them. Pi K. A. has a fairly strong team in Sonny Hall and Neil Stevens and if any opposition is met by Delta Sigma Phi, it will come from this source. All of which assumes that Delta Sigma Phi will beat either Phi Kappa Tau, or Theta Chi, a more than likely prognostication, although Jack Cardwell, a player of undoubted merit, will play for the latter group. * * * The lower bracket offers more opportunities for upsets and close tennis than do any of the rest. S. A. E., S. P. E., Kappa Sigma, Phi Delta Theta, and Lambda Chi Alpha are all bunched together in this bracket and the winner at present is almost a toss-up. However, on the basis of previous performances by Joe Parker and the potentialities of Carl Warren and Al Weissinger we select S. A. E. as the likely winner of this bracket. S. A. E. meets the winner of the S. P. E.- Lambda Chi affair, a very interesting match in itself, and then encounters the winner of the Kappa Sigma Phi contest, a set-up that has plenty of room for upsets. * * * We realize that such predictions are presumptive, and in a sense unfair. If any of the unheralded teams come out as potential champions, we will welcome them. But at this time we GOLF TOURNEY TO BE SPONSORED BY LOCAL GOLF CLUB Business Men's Matches Will Begin Today; Students May Enter Tourney Says Dumas INTERFRAT BASEBALL, TENNIS CONTESTS WILL GET UNDERWAY A spring golf tournament, beginning today at noon, was announced at a supper of the club last Friday night. The supper was the result of a golf tournament between two local teams. An agreement was made before the tournament began that the losers would give the winners a supper. The winning team was captained by Dr. J. L. Seal and the losing team was captained by Dr. B. F. Thomas. For this spring golf tournament, three flights have been scheduled, including a student flight. Forty-eight men are already scheduled to play in this second tournament. Prizes will be given the winners and runners-up, according to Dr. Thomas and much work has been done on the course to get it in good shape. In order to pay for these expenses, a small entrance fee will be charged both club members and students. In the near future, the club is planning an invitation tournament. Local winning teams will also accept invitations to play elsewhere. Students interested in entering the i golf tournament which starts Friday should report to Jimmie Dumas at Wright's Drug Store. Both Diamond Ball And Tennis Tournaments Will Be Run Off Simultaneously; First Round Of Diamond Tourney Must Be Played By April 10; First Round Tennis To End April 13 Competition in the Interfraternity Council tennis and baseball tournaments is to get underway immediately, according to an announcement made last night by Wallace Nelson, Chairman of the Interfrat Athletic Committee. The two tournaments will be run off simultaneously and both will terminate early in May. There will be no eligibility rules in the tennis tourney, but the same regulations applying in other sports will be enforced in the baseball tournament. Standard baseballs for the latter tournament have come in at Gibson's and are on sale. The first round of the baseball tourney must be played by Wednesday, April 10; the second round by April 20; the third round by April 27; the semi-finals by April 30, and the finals by May 2, according to Nelson. Tennis matches scheduled for the first round must be completed by April 13, the second round by April 20, the third round by April 27, the semifinals by May 4 and the finals by May 7th. Referees and umpires in the baseball games are left up to the mutual selection of the fraternities involved. Much interest is being manifest by the various fraternities, particularly in the baseball tournament. There seems to be a definite lack of playing fields, however, with the areas in front of the Chemistry Building, the old high school diamond back of the girl's gym, and the small field back of the Sigma Pi house the only fields available at the present time. Any field that is of proper playing size and satisfactory to both teams will be satisfactory, said Nelson.

ALMOST 800 BALLOTS CAST TO SHATTER RECORD IN ELECTION (Continued from Page 1) Haygood Paterson walked off with the contest for senior representative from the School of Education in soundly licking Ed McKenzie and Clyde Warren by a 50 to 13 to 11 vote count. Joel Eaves was unopposed in the race for junior representative from the same school. N Edwin Jolly won out in the contest for senior representative from the School of Architecture and Allied Arts by virtue of a 39 to 30 margin over William Bell. Helen Tigner was chosen as junior representative from the Architectural School over Frank McCall by a 36 to 31 vote count. H. L. Terrell defeated present Cabinet member Calvin Arant in the race for senior representative from the School of Agriculture and Agricultural Education by a 67 to 60 margin. Wilbur Kelley will assume the office of junior Cabinet member from the same school by virtue of a 78 to 42 victory over Ernest Thornhill. In the race for senior representative from the School of Veterinary Medicine, Ferguson Davis emerged victorious. He tallied 87 votes against B: W. Dean's 11. F. P. Caughman was unopposed in the race for junior representative from the Vet school. Melba Holly won out in the contest for the Cabinet position from the School of Home Economics. She counted 28 votes to Rosalie Henderson's 13. Although vote counters and watchers had been requested not to divulge the returns of the election practically every student elected yesterday and most of their supporters had learned of the outcome of the contests early last night. The result was that the campus was thrown into a beehive of political activity as line-ups were formed for the purpose of electing various newly-elects to Cabinet offices. Several heated races are anticipated in the elections which will be held during the early part of next week. President Bill Hughes has not definitely set a date for the meeting of the new Cabinet but he intimated that the new representatives would be called together within the next three or four days. Noted Writer Visitor Here Last Wednesday Russell Lord, who is connected with the Crowell Publishing Co., and a contributor to the New Yorker, and his wife were visitors in Auburn Wednesday.

(Continued from Page 1) Auburn won the Corp Area Competition, which allowed her to compete for the National Championship. Also, Auburn placed fourth and fifth in the Heart Trophy matches. At a recent meeting of the club Nat Bradford was elected as captain of the team for next year. J. E. Moyer was elected manager. They will replace J. M. VanHoose and E. E. Cas-son, respectively. In the near future the first 15 men on the team will receive commemorative medals to be worn on the R. O. T. C. uniform. The first five will have their name engraved on a silver cup to be presented to the college by the Birmingham Post, and the first ten will receive minor letters in athletics. The ranking men on the team are as follows: Hardeman, 374.2; Chapman, 372.4; Strickland, 372.1; Bradford, 370.2; Dexter, 367.8; Casson, 367.1; VanHoose, 366.7; Lee, 364.8; Rich, 363.3; Brunson, 361.5; Callaway, 361.3; Hiestand, 361.0; Tomlinson, 360.7; Panell, 359.1; and Welks, 357.3.

Political activity in the several races has already begun and line-ups for class positions have been effected. Unusual interest is expected to be shown in the elections this year since only one candidate for a major office is unopposed. Most of the offices are being contested for by from two to five aspirants. Especially heated will be the publications races. Three candidates have announced for editor of The Plainsman while there are two men running for business manager of the publication. Only one man is eligible to run for editor of the Glomerata while there is a field of three and possibly four men running for business manager of the yearbook. Fine Season Finished By Local Rifle Team Auburn's rifle team, coached by Lt. H. W. Ehrgott, completed its 1934- 35 season last week when the last stage of the Inter-Collegiate match for the National Championship was fired. According to Lieutenant Ehrgott, the results of this competition will not be known until about May 1, but it is expected that Auburn will stand in about tenth place when the final standings are announced. Only the ranking teams in each corp area are entered in the national match. Also finished last week were the finals of the Corp Area competition. Out of a total of 52 postal matches fired during the season with teams - throughout the country, Auburn won 37 by an average of 156 points and lost nine by an average of 19 points. No scores have been received for the other matches. During the season, and for the first time in the history of the rifle team, eight shoulder-to-shoulder matches were fired With Ga. Tech, Georgia, Alabama, and Louisiana State University, all of which were won by the Auburn team. Keen rivalry existed between Auburn and Georgia Tech during the competitions, with Auburn winning from them in both the shoulder-to-shoulder contests and the Corps Area competition by slight margins of from three to five points. But in the final postal matches fired between the two schools last week, Tech defeated Auburn by a margin of 16 points out of 4,000. The teams met at two other times last season in the Heart Trophy and National Inter-Collegiate competitions. The freshman team also has a successful season, winning from nine of the foremost military colleges in the country and losing by close margins to Lanier High School and Culver Military Academy. The freshmen also fired in the varsity matches. (Continued on page 4) Miss Julia Lamar Chosen To Lead Grand March At Interfrat Council . Dance; Plans For Affair Are Laid Plans for the Interfraternity Council Ball, to be given in the Alumni Gymnasium Friday night, April 19, are nearing completion, according to Howard Morris, president of the group. » The dance, to get under way at 9 o'clock, will last until 1 o'clock and will include two council lead-outs and three no-breaks, with a Grand March to be led by Miss Julia Lamar, of Florida State Woman's College, Tallahassee, Fla., escorted by Howard Morris. The Auburn Knights will furnish music for the affair. Bid cards are now ready and can be obtained at the Tiger Drug Co., and at all the fraternity houses. They will be taken up at noon Monday, April 8. At its last meeting, the Interfraternity Council voted to make the dance a sport affair, which marks the first time in several years that the dance has not been formal. It was also decided at the meeting that the two council members from each fraternity along with eight other members of the fraternity will be the maximum number of men to attend the dance from each chapter. Through this rule it is planned that approximately 220 fraternity men will be in attendance at the dance. Decoration of the dance hall is being handled by L. P. Wood, and bids for the decorations are now being received. It is planned that the hall be decorated along a sports scheme with a display of all campus fraternity pennants. C. W. Walter is in charge of the music for the affair, with Jack Tabor as director of arrangements. The Interfraternity Ball each year is considered to be one of the social high lights of the season. TIGERS ENGAGE BULLDOGS HERE IN TWO GAMES First Game Of Season To Be Played This Afternoon; Ga. Has Strong Diamond Outfit LINEUP BE CHANGED Auburn Bids For Conference Crown As Season Begins; Mitchell Is Probable Starter TRINITY CHOIR TO BE HEARD SUNDAY NIGHT IN CONCERT Mrs. H. V. Carson Will Direct Group Be Presented In Concert At Presbyterian Church The Trinity Presbyterian Choir, under the direction of Mrs. H. V. Carson, will be heard in a sacred concert in the Auburn Presbyterian Church on Sunday evening at 7:30. The Choir will present "The Seven Last Words of Christ" by DuBois. " 'Tis Midnight and on Olive's Brow," will be used for the processional, and Joseph Petranka, violinist, will play "Hymn to St. Cecelia," by Gounod, for the Offertory. This lenten cantata by the French composer, Theodore DuBois, was written and produced on Good Friday, 1867 while the composer was Maitre de Chapelle of Ste. Clotilde, Paris. DuBois wrote operas and compositions for piano, organ and violin. His fame rests on his church music, masses and cantatas and he excelled in the latter. He studied at Rheims and in 1861 won the Grand Prix de Rome. "Les Sept Paroles du Christ" is considered one of the most beautiful of sacred cantatas and is used each season by choirs both in the old country and in America. The beauty and solemnity of the words which are sung as solo, are supported by the very dramatic shouts and cries of the crowd which are heard from the mixed chorus voices. The Trinity Choir has been organized for four years with Mrs. H. V. Carson as director and Mrs. J. H. Walker organist, and has appeared in sacred and secular concerts in Montgomery and several cities of Alabama. This Lenten program will be presented in Montgomery April 14, in Birmingham April 19, and in Prattville April 21. The personnel of the Choir is as follows: sopranos, Mrs. H. V. Carson, Mrs. J. T. Alley, Mrs. J. B. Noble, Mrs. Bernie Acton, Mrs. June Pierce, Mrs. J. A. Sutter, Miss Eleanor Hooper; Contraltos, Mrs. Luther Smith, Mrs. Charles Ball, Mrs. Hugh Adams, Miss Katrine Nickel and Frances Berry; Tenors, Earl Chambless, Lem Ed-mundson, June Pierce, William Cromwell, C. T. Fitzpatrick, J. A. Sutter; Basses, Joseph Petranka, Martin Teague, Henry Griffith, Jack Raw-lings, and Dr. B. F. Austin. NOTICE Former 4-H Club members. All Auburn students (both boys and girls), who are former members of 4-H clubs, are asked to meet with Dr. E. H. Shinn of Washington, D. C, Monday evening, April 8, 8:00 P. M., at Broun Hall. Dr. Shinn is the acting 4-H Club leader for the Southern States. T. A. Sims, Alabama boys 4-H Club agent urgently requests that all such students be present at this time. The meeting is important. CO-ED GOVERNING BODY ELECTED AT MEET WEDNESDAY Mary Jim Enloe Chosen President Of Women's Student Council At Open Session Election of officers of the Women's Student Council was held Wednesday in an open meeting of the Women's Student Government Association. Mary Jim Enloe, Langdale, was elected president of the Council, and Senior Representative. Miss Enloe has been a member of the Council during the past year, and has been active in sorority and campus activities in general. Albina Pearce, Millstead, was chosen as vice-president of the Council. She has also been on the group during the past year, and is a prominent campus leader. Other members of the Council chos en Wednesday include Florence Hodges, Langdale, as house president of Smith Hall; Helen Tigner, Columbus, as junior representative and secretary of the body; Jane Eaton, Auburn, town representative; and Ester Weeks, Fort Benning, sophomore representative and treasurer. A freshman member will be chosen early next fall, it was announced. The Women's Student Council is the governing body of the Women's Student Government Association, serving in disciplinary and general executive capacities. Retiring members of the group are Lucy Meadows, president: Velma Patterson, Emma Bennett Sellers, Mary Haygood, and Mildred Wadkins. After having held the world champion St. Louis Cardinals to a 5-1 score at Cramton Bowl in Montgomery yesterday, the Auburn Tigers will open a two day stand against the University of Georgia at Drake Field this afternoon. The opening game, starting at 3 P. M., will probably find either Muggs Erwin or Joe Bob Mitchell on the mound for the Plainsmen. Saturday's game will also start at 3 P. M. Today's game will be the start of Auburn's pennant race for the Southeastern Conference Championship. Having already shown considerable strength against the Troy State Teachers College and the St. Louis Cardinals, ihe Plainsmen are regarded as potential winners of the crown. The Bulldogs are also championship aspirants and should provide plenty of competition for the Tigers. Coach Catfish Smith has a veteran club, including a seasoned hurler in Nichols, who is expected to be a big factor in this season's race. Coach Morgan is likely to have three newcomers in today's tilt with the Bulldogs. The three new faces will probably be Joe Stewart at third, Louis Mathews at second, and Collins Fenton behind the plate. These three performed creditably against the Cardinals and should make the team slightly stronger than it was against Troy. (Continued on page 4) Business Fraternity Issues Publication Prof. F. W. Applebee Attends Art League Professor Frank W. Applebee, head professor of the Applied Art Department, is attending the fifteenth annual convention of the Southern States Art League, held this year in the Parthenon at Nashville, Tennessee.

Professors Applebee and Staples and the Department of Applied Art are active members of the League, and are working to promote art interests in Alabama. Delta Sigma Pi, honorary business fraternity, has recently issued its chapter publication, The Beta Lambda Ledger, in an enlarged form that has received considerable favorable comment from other chapters, according to Miller Pitts, President of the Auburn Beta Lambda Chapter. Edited by Cecil Padgett, the eight page pahphlet outlines all the chapters activities for the year, and contains an up-to-date listing of chapter alumni. The local chapter of Delta Sigma Pi has been one of the most active honorary societies on the campus for the past two years, carrying out a well-defined program of activities that make it a valuable extra curricular training school for its members. A lodge about three miles from town has been constructed and serves as the social center of the group. Meetings are divided in three classes, discussion, business and social, with two discussion meetings and one business and one social occasion each month. A number of noted speakers have been guests of the club, and contemporary events of an economic na-' ture have received serious discussion by the members. Officers of the club are Miller Pitts, President; John Overton, Vice-President; Jack Shaw, Secretary; and John Orr, Treasurer. Horse Show Will Be Held Here On May 1 The annual R. O. T. C. Horse Show, sponsored by the Military Department, will be held in Auburn about May 1, according to an announcement by Capt. Tom Gunby, who is in charge of the show. Many features are planned this year to include 12 events in all. It is expected by Capt. Gunby that the exhibition this year will exceed those of past years as already considerable interest has been shown in riding as well as much enthusiasm over preparations. The show will include the following events: senior, junior, and sophomore jumping; sophomore exhibition riding; ladies saddle horses, three gaited; best polo pony; bending race; open jumping; and musical chairs. Three extra features have been added this year in an attempt to create more interest in the show on the part of people outside the college with privately owned mounts. These events being for saddle horses, ponies and colts. Persons living in the vicinity of Auburn or Opelika who have pri-yately owned mounts are invited to take part in these events. Silver loving cups will be awarded to the winners in each event.

A maximum of six semester hours credit can be gained from the study tour and the credit can be applied either to a B.S. or M.A. degree. The trip will be available also to a few persons who are not seeking college credit. The new course marks the first time that a southern college has given credit for travel learning, which will combine observation, impressions, and text-book study. Interesting and informative lectures, and a shelf of books containing information about the sites visited will be features of the trip. Many points of scenic interest, the great engineering projects of the West, historical points of interest, some of the more important cities of that region, and Western educational institutions will be visited. Five Sons Of Farmer Graduate From Here Horticulture Dept. Gets New Professor Mr. E. W. McElwee has been appointed as assistant professor in the Department of Horticulture, according to information received from the Executive Secretary's office. McElwee succeeds Prof. John W. Hyde, who recently resigned his position with the college. A native of Mississippi, McElwee received a Bachelor of Science degree from Mississippi State College in 1930. He later attended Auburn and holds increased attendance at a minimum the Master of Science degree from this cost to the people of the State. institution. With four sons holding degrees from Auburn, W. O. Johnson, a farmer of the Fish Pond community in Coosa County, expects his fifth son to graduate at this institution at the commencement on May 27 of this year. His oldest son, Rowe, graduated in 1927, and is now principal of a high school in Butler County; Herman graduated in 1928 and is an architect at Washington; Thomas graduated in 1933 and is a junior engineer with the War Department; Oel graduated in 1934 and is a finance officer with the CCC at Gloster, Mississippi.

Herman drew plans for several buildings at Maxwell Field, Montgomery, and, he also designed the chair which the President uses at Arlington. Two younger sons of Mr. Johnson are expecting to attend Auburn. A daughter who is now married, was a summer session student here. All records were smashed yesterday when 796 students voted in the election of 18 representatives to the Executive Cabinet in a campus-wide election. The previous record number of votes to be cast in an election of Cabinet members was established last year when 677 students voted. The election was featured by several heated contests within the various schools. The bitterest fight for Cabinet berths was waged among the four students who sought the two senior positions from the School of Engineering. Gordon McKinney and Bill Mc- Tyeire emerged victorious in the contest, the former gathering 175 votes with McTyeire running him a close second with 172. The other two candidates, Lee Ross Ellenburg and Billy Thomas, tallied 91 and 157 votes respectively. Vernie Holloway walked away with the race for junior representative from the same school in defeating T. N. Powell, while Jarvis Brown will assume the position as sophomore representative from the Engineering School. He was unopposed. C. Witty Walter garnered enough votes to give him almost 2 to 1 majority over Jimmie Vance in the race for senior representative from the School of Science and Literature. Walter eeunted 162 votes while Vance tallied 87.

The student body placed a great amount of responsibility on the • shoulders of these eighteen students who are supposed to crack the whip over student government at Auburn next year. The Plainsman urges each of the students chosen to the Cabinet to be cognizant of the duties which they will be expected to discharge. Let them not be content now that they have been elevated to the offices which they sought. The election to the Cabinet should not be considered as the goal of these students. The ultimate goal should be the placing of the governing body on the high pedestal which will be theirs when the group performs its proper functions. / The student body knows that student government at Auburn has suffered from ridicule and non-support of various campus groups ever since the Executfve Cabinet was set up. It is the new Cabinet's duty to put student government on its feet, to make it a real and respected power on the campus, and to guide the destinies of student organizations toward the desired goal. It is to be hoped that next year will mark the revival of sincere interest in the Executive Cabinet. The success of student government during the ensuing year will be determined in a large measure by the officers who will be selected to head the body and by the combined efforts of the entire group to accomplish that which other Cabinets have neglected—a smooth working, efficient, and powerful government organization. Those new Cabinet members who have the good of Auburn at heart are fortunate in that many opportunities for service to the student body will be theirs next year. Plans for the improvement, of student government organizations have been laid this year. These plans should be studied by the new Cabinet with the idea of taking the best parts of each and incorporating them into a logical proposal to be submitted to the student body next fall. It will be only after several changes in the Cabinet setup, and then only, that student government will fulfill its proper functions on the Auburn campus. screen is especially commendable. Until several Auburn students informed us differently we thought that there was nothing original nor unusual in nude women. We had labored under the impression that they look the same as they did a thousand years ago. But the sophisticated Auburn man has taught us that vulgar displays of female flesh are of the very best entertainment. We suppose that this group of wise-crackers must have their say. Why not hold a weekly meeting in Langdon Hall where everybody can wisecrack, make catcalls, give horse laughs, and . tell dirty jokes. The meeting should last long enough for all of these cultured traits to be amply expressed. Such an arrangement might allow us to regain our illusions as to the real worth of picture shows and would certainly meet the approval of the movie-goers, r Theatre Entertainers The wisecracker we have with us always. And particularly prominent is the picture show wisecracker. He is there for every picture. And five minutes can not elapse without some subtle observation from our wit. This adds charm to the program. But wisecracking is not the only attractive practice maintained by the Auburn student body in the local theatre. Boisterous laughter, in a variety of tones, echoes and re-echoes throughout the amusement hall. We were singularly impressed by the conduct of one of our more cultured co-eds at a recent vaudeville presentation. She did everything but' stand on her head each time the comedian told a joke, thus giving expression to an innate refinement of no mean order. And memories of those students who burst forth with ear-splitting laughter during the tense and dramatic scenes in movies shown here will linger as the most pleasant of our college career. Picture shows have always satisfied our inborn love for the sentimental in a most excellent fashion and diverted our minds from cynical paths in an extremely effective manner. However, when we have such a large group of local artists who can supply us with the same entertainment through its boorish howls and outpourings of savage minds we need not attend the movies. And the manner in which the student body expresses its sex instincts when a half-naked female makes her appearance on the Why Not A Sales Tax? Administration after administration, the same old cry of "we've got to have more revenue" arises with considerable volume from the individual groups whose demands, strangely enough, increase with every passing year. And legislators wonder, not without cause, why they ever became legislators at all. With a tax on land that is too high at the present time, with every other possible source of income exhausted, the only solution of the present financial dilemma of Alabama seems to be a sales tax. Despite the fact that many members of the 1935 Legislature are pledged to vote against such a measure, there seems to be a rising sentiment for such a revenue-producing bill and the passage of a sales tax seems more than likely at the present time. Opposition to the sales tax arises principally from merchants, of course. Those merchants who are in the central portions of the state object purely on account of the amount of bookkeeping that a sales tax would involve, while those on the borders object, rightfully enough, on the basis of neighboring states pulling away their own trade. The first objection to the sales tax, from the centrally-located merchants, can be discounted by asserting that the increased amount of salaries and wages paid by the state would bring about a rise in sales that would more than pay for the extra trouble of keeping books. The second, can be also partially discounted for the inherent laziness of most people would prevent them from crossing the borders of another state just to save a few cents. It would only be on cigarettes and like articles that there would be any great transference of real income to the merchants of another state. It would also seem that a sales tax is necessary if Auburn and the other educational units of the state are to operate at their maximum efficiency. However, on the basis of past experience it is doubtful if the citizens of Alabama care much whether Auburn, Alabama and other higher institutions of learning operate at all. Education or anything else is a great thing, until one has to begin paying for it out of his own pocket. JOCULARITIES By Jeremiah Juttingham Protect Our Maidens Wednesday the co-eds elected a Women's Student Council for next year. Insofar as we are able to observe, this group represents a rather diversified type of young woman. Some of them have been instrumental in fostering worthy activities here this year, and all have been valuable and prominent membei-s of the student body. To them we tender our profound sympathy. While we realize that the Council has very little to do with the actual modification or changing of rules, we once more suggest that the group most directly involved, the dormitory inmates, get together and do something to change the rules, which had their origin in the Dark Ages. Yes, we do not envy the new Council their jobs. To enforce a set of rules in which no intelligent young woman could possibly believe, is a very unenviable task.

Alabama legislators are talking about a referendum on beer before summer rolls around, the idea being that when the sun beats down, people would drink beer— enough beer to get the state partially out of its financial hole. Somehow we can't see Alabamians drinking much beer. Georgians don't, Mississip-pians don't, and Floridians don't. And somehow we don't think Alabamians would either. Beer is a beverage that belongs to a lackadaisical civilization. Here in Alabama we have not yet reached a state of civilization that permits our getting tight slowly and gentlemanly. We have to get loopey in thirty minutes or not at all. And it requires a lot of beer to get loopey, and thirty minutes, ooh! Beside the sentimental aspects of the case, there are the more material considerations to be looked into. In the first place, such a referendum would cost the state $38,000— which is a lot of money. And second, would such a measure pass? It didn't pass when combined with a liquor referendum. Is there any assurance that it would pass by itself? We think not. There are too many editors in Alabama, there are too many country preachers who go into very proper hysterics when modification or "beer" is mentioned. We can rest assured that in the event" the legislature were to pass beer referendum legislation a hue and cry would arise far and wide that the wet newspapers were just after some advertising, that the youth of our fair state stood danger of contamination by the product of the bad old Milwaukee brewers, and that Alabama was straight down the road to hell in case beer were legalized. No, everything considered, a beer referendum would seem to be most inadvisable at this time. We must keep Alabama pure and untrammeled, you know. * * * * There was once a day when education of the masses was hailed as the supreme cure of mankind's many ills, economic and otherwise. But that rosy day is gone, and a skepticism concerning education in general has assailed many of the most mature thinkers of the United States. It has been said that when you educate •a man you bring about his personal happiness; the educated man was the final goal and attainment of organized society. While the world is not yet ready to sneer with the cynicists who say that education makes fools more foolish, by giving them a falsified idea of their own erudition, it is beginning to realize that education can often lead to a dissatisfaction that cannot be obliterated by the limited means that many poverty-stricken persons have available. Here at Auburn can be seen one of the supreme examples of the dubious values of mass education. We have hundreds of students here who can never make good engineers, or business men, or horse doctors, or good anythings that required brains, and yet professors are obliged to struggle through classes with these same clods, and those students who apparently have some degree of intelligence are held back because classroom standards have to be brought down to the level of these simple souls. While most of us who profess to be at least passably intelligent can at least partially agree to this idea, there is of course the point of view of the stupid clods to be considered. After all have they not been told that a college education will assure them of a fair job upon graduation, that to know something about literature and calculus and Spanish is very desirable to culture in general, and that in short, they will be valued members ofsociety when they get their B.S. degree in May? And yet how few of this year's graduates ever think or worry at all about where the world or us is going? How many of them read and part of the newspapers except the sports page and the comics? How many of them go to see any kind of movies except the musical comedies, and Gable-Crawford romances? How many of them read anything beyond pulp magazines of the cheapest order?

WITHOUT THE PALE CO-EDS AT DUKE BOYCOTT CHRONICLE AND ADVERTISING INCREASES Editor Johnny Moorehead, of the Duke Chronicle, has a problem of great ramifications on his hands. Duke co-eds are up in arms over a story concerning the election of the Duke May Queen and her Court which was recently carried in the Chronicle. The women allowed as how it misrepresented the real facts concerning the selection of the Queen. And so the co-eds, by a 540 to 140 vote, pledged themselves to boycott the March 22 issue of the paper. Leaders in the move formed a parade which included number of women students in a demonstration against the Duke publication. A group of women stormed the Chronicle offices. Others marched across the campus shouting "Hallelujah, Hallelujah, We Don't Want The Chronicle" and beating tin pans, etc. The co-ed group informed Chronicle advertisers that their ads would not be read and that there was no need for them to print ads designed to attract co-ed customers. The whole affair seems to be quite amusing with the result that all Chronicle advertising records for the 31 years of its history were broken in the "Boycott Issue," which carried 550 column inches of advertising. Business Manager Moss, of the Plainsman is fervently praying that local women politicians will be as patriotic as those of Duke University—"We want a co-ed boycott of The Plainsman" shouted Moss after reading an account'.of the Duke situation. * * * * CAROLINA PAPER SPONSORS BEARD-GROWING CONTEST A unique event in the form of a beard-growing contest is being sponsored by the University of South Carolina Gamecock, according to a recent announcement in the paper.

BIRMINGHAM PASTOR STRESSES VALUE OF FRIENDS IN MERCER TALK Speaking before the faculty and students of Mercer University at chapel hour recently, Dr. Frank MacDonald, pastor of the Woodlawn Baptist Church, Birmingham, warned his audience that the world will take notice of one through the friendships he forms. "What would a fellow do without his friends?" he querried after having recounted a number of instances in his life in which friendship had helped him to success or happiness. He scored the person who considers himself a self-made man, saying that this type of person never stops to consider the number of people who have made his way easier for him through friendships that he had formed on the way up the ladder. And there is a lot of wisdom in Dr. Mac- Donald's words. * * * * KINGFISH REFUSES TO SHARE COST OF 'PHONE CALL FROM 'BAMA FRAT Evidently Huey Long doesn't intend for his Share-the-Wealth campaign to include Sharing-the-Cost of telephone messages concerning his plan. Recently a group of S. A. E.'s at the University of Alabama decided to phone "Hooey" in Washington to get him to straighten out an argument about the merits and demerits of his ideas. This method decided upon, Duke Sudbury, manager of the Alabama Cavaliers, contacted the King-fish's secretary in the nation's capitol, but Huey's assistant refused to call the Senator to the telephone when asked if the Louisiana boss would pay for the call. Questioned by the secretary as to the reasons for asking Long to pay the toll, Sudbury retorted, "Why, we' thought that if Huey believed in Sharing-the-Wealth, he wouldn't mind Sharing-the-Cost." * * * * GEORGE WASHINGTON UNIVERSITY STUDENTS PLAN WAR STRIKE Representatives of six student organizations at George Washington University recently met to formulate plans for a "strike against war" demonstration on the campus, to be held April 12, as a part of a nationwide movement. The feasibility of a strike for night school students to be held the same day was also discussed. * * * * V. M. I.-WASHINGTON AND LEE GRID TEAMS MEET IN SPRING PRACTICE GAME All precedent was broken recently when the V. M. I. and Washington and Lee football teams met in practice scrimmages. The two campuses adjoin each other in Lexington, Va. No score was kept, and no yardage was marked. Each team was given the ball for half the time. There is a tremendous rivalry between the two schools, and the unusual spring training game adds one more event to the list of athletic meetings of these rival colleges. EDITOR'S NOTE: The opinions expressed in this column are not necessarily the editorial opinions of this paper. It is a coiumn of personal comment, and is not to be read as an expression of our editorial policy. HISTORY . . . . The R. O. T. C. instructors recent lectures on the various wars engaged in by these United States do not exactly agree, fact for fact, with those glorious accounts of these same wars which are found in all grammar and high school textbooks. They even exceed our more advanced college textbooks in stripping the fiction and tinsel from our military history. This seems a rather strange policy for the War Department, of all the departments in the college, to pursue. According to the present crop of critics of R. O. T. C. instruction in colleges, it is the purpose of the instructors to inculcate us with the military mind, imbue us with a false pride in our country's glorious history, and clothe all past operations of our military forces in a cloak of heroism and patriotic sacrifice. If this is the purpose of our instructors, they have faijed miserably. Their straightforward accounts of our various military campaigns and their rather caustic comment on certain phases of them that could by no means be called heroic, together with their accounts of the political chicanery that has characterized most of our wars have just been another means of aiding us in removing the halo that our high-school "larn'in" caused us to place upon every detail of our country's past. * * * * "WAR" . . . . Said that grizzled old veteran of the Civil War, General Sherman, "is hell." Maybe he was right and then maybe he wasn't, but if he was by any chance refering to War drill yesterday he certainly was right. We think, and seriously, that some of the millions of dollars that the government is putting into circulation should be used to buy cotton uniforms for the cadets who are going through fire for their beloved country. It really seems that some other sort of uniform could be obtained that would be at least slightly comfortable. But to wear the same uniform winter and summer is just too much. We doubt if even Satan himself wears a wool shirt and wool pants. - . * * * * TENNIS . . . . We congratulate the tennis team (who although they lost their first game of this season to Mississippi State, have displayed a spirit and a tenacity of purpose that is the true Auburn Spirit. Although they are receiving no recognition from the athletic department, they are striving against rather discouraging odds to bring tennis to its rightful important position among sports. * * * * BROKEN HEARTS . . . A report from Sniff and Snoop, our campus dirt diggers, informs us that Drake field is a vale of sorrow as evidenced by the tears shed by the track team. The reason being that Coach Hutsell has laid down the law to them and has practically obliterated the "Courting" time. Among those whose true love is about to become smoke in their eyes—at least until after the track season—are: Bill Crane, local weight man who has established an all time love record of five years with Mildred Wadkins, society editor; Gait, after running the last quarter mile with his tongue hanging out, limits his actions in the Western section of town to the daylight hours; Ward Wright still faithful to his red-headed Rosalie says that in the future his running around will be limited to the track; Hugh Rodgers and Bennie Vail hanging over a table at Unk's gazing at Jessica Boles and Elizabeth Mims; Hamp Williams remains wild and wooly—at least he still prefers the Indian; the persistent Bobby Blake still dating Hammond's girl; Weaver and Kilgore still vieing for the favor of Anne Whatley; quoting Ralph Tolve, shot-put and flash man, "She's crazy about me" and his speaking of Sarah Smith.

TAG ENDS . . . . His nomination for the most important person in any gathering— Jeremiah (A.) Juttingham with his little notebook and pencil trying desperately to get material for a column. 'Tis rumored that he had intentions of writing an exposition of the many junior under-cover political rings—that is until he talked, or rather he was talked to by a certain junior. Although painful, the lessons learned during a depression are useful.

Joel Eaves and John Tipper managed to check the Red Bird sluggers and limited the world champions to eight hits. Tinning breezed through the game with ease, limiting the Plainsmen to four bingles. Auburn's play on the field was almost flawless, except for a misjudged bounder by Mathews. Joe Stewart handled third in a nice fashion and made one sensational stop by going into the dirt after one of Pepper Martin's swats. Scarborough did some fancy work out in center, hauling down several blows that looked like certain hits. The Tigers were fairly weak with the willow, but that was to be expected with one of the National League's outstanding pitchers facing them. Even if the majority of Tiger batsmen couldn't hit major league hurling, Mathews found Tinning easy to get at. In four times up he lammed out two safeties and scored the only Auburn run. The Tigers opened the first inning by scoring their only run of the game. A high fly into right field, aided by a wild throw, enabled Mathews to romp home. In the second frame the Cardinals tied up the score, and then in the third added three more runs to put the game on ice. Eaves, hurling the first three innings, was responsible for four Cardinal runs. Tipper fared better than his teammate. He hurled the remainder of the game and allowed one run in the fourth, that being due to wildness on the part of the Tiger hurler.

TIGER GROWLS B y O B S E R V E R; With tennis talk in the air, and interest in the sport definitely on the upgrade, a few predictions concerning the forthcoming Interfrat competition might not be amiss at this time. Of all the sports in which tournaments are sponsored by the Council tennis is the one game where some predictions from the year before can be made, as only two men perform and their playing is usually consistent from year to year. We pick the four semi-finalists in the tennis tournament, without trying to be arbitrary or trying to discourage any other teams, Kappa Alpha, Sigma Nu, Delta Sigma Phi, and Sigma Alpha Epsilon. K. A. drew an unusually easy division. Encountering Sigma PHn the first round, who will probably be represented by Fog Davidson, Chris Guilford or Jap Parrish, K. A.'s two rack-et- wielders, Doc Stanley and Bevo Biggin should have little trouble in advancing to the second round. Alpha Psi furnishes the opposition at this point, and while Alvin Pass and Andrew McCreary are fairly capable tennis players, are not quite the equal of Biggin and Stanley. In the quarter- finals, K. A.'s team will meet Alpha Gamma Rho, Sigma Chi or T. U. O. Unless some unexpected talent has blossomed forth in the Sigma Chi and T. U. O. lodges, Alpha Gamma Rho should be quarter-finalists, opposing K. A. * * * In the next bracket, Sigma Nu dominates things rather completely. Cam and Glenn Mitchell, winners two years ago, and one of the outstanding doubles combinations ever attending school here, should have no great difficulty in reaching the semi-finals, and possibly the finals. Meeting Pi Kappa Phi in the second round, the Sigma Nu team engages its strongest opposition as James Tyson and Rudy Martin are both capable tennis players, and are formidable on several counts. If this net combination is upset, Sigma Nu has easy sailing as A. T. O., A. L. T. or Beta Kappa look very strong. Copeland, A. T. O., is probably the outstanding player in any of these three frats but without a very able partner prospects down A. T. O. way are gloomy. Beta Kappa has also made pretty good showings on previous occasions but look rather weak at this time. Delta Sigma Phi, with 1934 champions, George Poole and Louis Busen-leiner back, has a semi-finalist position practically sewed up. Meeting the winner of the Pi K. A.-S. P. E. vs. T. K. N. match, Delta Sigma Phi should have little difficulty in trimming any of them. Pi K. A. has a fairly strong team in Sonny Hall and Neil Stevens and if any opposition is met by Delta Sigma Phi, it will come from this source. All of which assumes that Delta Sigma Phi will beat either Phi Kappa Tau, or Theta Chi, a more than likely prognostication, although Jack Cardwell, a player of undoubted merit, will play for the latter group. * * * The lower bracket offers more opportunities for upsets and close tennis than do any of the rest. S. A. E., S. P. E., Kappa Sigma, Phi Delta Theta, and Lambda Chi Alpha are all bunched together in this bracket and the winner at present is almost a toss-up. However, on the basis of previous performances by Joe Parker and the potentialities of Carl Warren and Al Weissinger we select S. A. E. as the likely winner of this bracket. S. A. E. meets the winner of the S. P. E.- Lambda Chi affair, a very interesting match in itself, and then encounters the winner of the Kappa Sigma Phi contest, a set-up that has plenty of room for upsets. * * * We realize that such predictions are presumptive, and in a sense unfair. If any of the unheralded teams come out as potential champions, we will welcome them. But at this time we GOLF TOURNEY TO BE SPONSORED BY LOCAL GOLF CLUB Business Men's Matches Will Begin Today; Students May Enter Tourney Says Dumas INTERFRAT BASEBALL, TENNIS CONTESTS WILL GET UNDERWAY A spring golf tournament, beginning today at noon, was announced at a supper of the club last Friday night. The supper was the result of a golf tournament between two local teams. An agreement was made before the tournament began that the losers would give the winners a supper. The winning team was captained by Dr. J. L. Seal and the losing team was captained by Dr. B. F. Thomas. For this spring golf tournament, three flights have been scheduled, including a student flight. Forty-eight men are already scheduled to play in this second tournament. Prizes will be given the winners and runners-up, according to Dr. Thomas and much work has been done on the course to get it in good shape. In order to pay for these expenses, a small entrance fee will be charged both club members and students. In the near future, the club is planning an invitation tournament. Local winning teams will also accept invitations to play elsewhere. Students interested in entering the i golf tournament which starts Friday should report to Jimmie Dumas at Wright's Drug Store. Both Diamond Ball And Tennis Tournaments Will Be Run Off Simultaneously; First Round Of Diamond Tourney Must Be Played By April 10; First Round Tennis To End April 13 Competition in the Interfraternity Council tennis and baseball tournaments is to get underway immediately, according to an announcement made last night by Wallace Nelson, Chairman of the Interfrat Athletic Committee. The two tournaments will be run off simultaneously and both will terminate early in May. There will be no eligibility rules in the tennis tourney, but the same regulations applying in other sports will be enforced in the baseball tournament. Standard baseballs for the latter tournament have come in at Gibson's and are on sale. The first round of the baseball tourney must be played by Wednesday, April 10; the second round by April 20; the third round by April 27; the semi-finals by April 30, and the finals by May 2, according to Nelson. Tennis matches scheduled for the first round must be completed by April 13, the second round by April 20, the third round by April 27, the semifinals by May 4 and the finals by May 7th. Referees and umpires in the baseball games are left up to the mutual selection of the fraternities involved. Much interest is being manifest by the various fraternities, particularly in the baseball tournament. There seems to be a definite lack of playing fields, however, with the areas in front of the Chemistry Building, the old high school diamond back of the girl's gym, and the small field back of the Sigma Pi house the only fields available at the present time. Any field that is of proper playing size and satisfactory to both teams will be satisfactory, said Nelson.

ALMOST 800 BALLOTS CAST TO SHATTER RECORD IN ELECTION (Continued from Page 1) Haygood Paterson walked off with the contest for senior representative from the School of Education in soundly licking Ed McKenzie and Clyde Warren by a 50 to 13 to 11 vote count. Joel Eaves was unopposed in the race for junior representative from the same school. N Edwin Jolly won out in the contest for senior representative from the School of Architecture and Allied Arts by virtue of a 39 to 30 margin over William Bell. Helen Tigner was chosen as junior representative from the Architectural School over Frank McCall by a 36 to 31 vote count. H. L. Terrell defeated present Cabinet member Calvin Arant in the race for senior representative from the School of Agriculture and Agricultural Education by a 67 to 60 margin. Wilbur Kelley will assume the office of junior Cabinet member from the same school by virtue of a 78 to 42 victory over Ernest Thornhill. In the race for senior representative from the School of Veterinary Medicine, Ferguson Davis emerged victorious. He tallied 87 votes against B: W. Dean's 11. F. P. Caughman was unopposed in the race for junior representative from the Vet school. Melba Holly won out in the contest for the Cabinet position from the School of Home Economics. She counted 28 votes to Rosalie Henderson's 13. Although vote counters and watchers had been requested not to divulge the returns of the election practically every student elected yesterday and most of their supporters had learned of the outcome of the contests early last night. The result was that the campus was thrown into a beehive of political activity as line-ups were formed for the purpose of electing various newly-elects to Cabinet offices. Several heated races are anticipated in the elections which will be held during the early part of next week. President Bill Hughes has not definitely set a date for the meeting of the new Cabinet but he intimated that the new representatives would be called together within the next three or four days.
