Semi-Weekly Plainsman Wednesday Issue f&tyz JVttlmrtt plainsman Mass Meeting Tomorrow TO F O S T E R THE A U B U R N S P I R IT VOLUME LIX AUBURN, ALABAMA, WEDNESDAY, OCTOBER 30, 1935 NUMBER 14 MANY PICTURES ARE TAKEN FOR 1936 YEARBOOK 1625 Pictures Taken To Date; Class Section Be Finished This Week, Says Campbell CHANGES PLANNED Work On All Sections Of Book Will Get Underway Shortly; Largest Book In History Blake Campbell, business manager of the Glomerata, announced that a total of 1625 pictures had been taken so far for the yearbook and that this part of the work on the annual would be completed within the next week. Students are reminded that class pictures will be taken only through this week, and all those who have not had their picture made are asked to do so at the soonest possible time. It is understood that no appointments will be necessary. On Monday of next week pictures' will be taken of the senior cadet officers from the rank of Captain on up. Those not having their pictures taken at that time will not be included in the section. It was also stated by Campbell that many students who requested to have their photos to be placed in their respective fraternity panels have failed to call by the Glomerata office and pay the necessary charge. On the other hand there are many who have failed to select the proof of their picture they desire to be put in the annual. Work on all sections of the book has been planned and will get underway shortly, with prospects of having one of the largest yearbooks ever published at Auburn. The book this year will be different in many respects. Marked changes are being planned for many of the sections. Cover designs have been submitted and contracts will be let soon. Campus views this year will also be treated in a different manner, the exact plans not being announced until a later date. A larger athletic section and a unique beauty section are two of the outstanding changes to be made. As yet no plans have been disclosed concerning the selection this year of "Miss Auburn." The snapshot section will alBO be enlarged to cover in more complete detail the many phases of campus life at Auburn. Military Department Bans Mixed Uniforms In order to stop the wearing of mixed uniforms by the students, the following order was issued by the Military Department: "Inasmuch as the wearing of the R. O. T. C. uniform other than at drill only is optional with the student; improper wearing of the uniform on the campus and about town will stop immediately. "Improper wearing of the uniform comprises: (a) Any mixed uniform and civilian clothes. (b) Wearing uniform with sleeves rolled or collar unbuttoned, or any portion of the uniform missing, etc. "In order to stop immediately the practice of wearing improper uniform on the campus and about town, cadet officers will report to the military office all violations of the above. "Should this have little effect, students will be required to wear the uniform to all classes."

The varsity debates will be held from 7 to 8 o'clock in the evenings in Room 301, Samford Hall. The freshman debates will be held in the afternoon in the same room from 4 to 5 o'clock. The Cambridge Debaters will appear in Langdon Hall on November 11 at 8 o'clock. All students and townspeople interested are invited to attend all debates and are especially urged to be on hand for the debate with the Cambridge team. Using a $50,000 instrument, Philip Frank, violinist, will appear in concert with his brother, Bernard, pianist, here Thursday evening at 8:30 in Langdon Hall. This is to be the second in an all-star Concert Series by the Alabama Music League with the Auburn Glee Club as local sponsors. Frank was chosen to represent America at the silver jubilee celebration in England last summer. The critics in Europe and America have been extravagant in their praise of this young artist. To quote one of the most famous violinists in the world, Efrem Zim-balist: "May I congratulate you upon securing the services of Philip Frank. He is an excellent violinist, and I am sure that your audience will be greatly pleased both by his playing and his personality." His brother, Bernard Frank, who accompanies him, is on the staff of the Curtis Institute, which fact speaks for itself. Frank and his brother made a profound impression on a large audience in Birmingham. Their program is a varied one, including compositions of the classic, romantic, and modern schools. Especially outstanding are (Continued on page 4) Dothan Makes Effort To Have Auburn Game AUBURN HARRIERS LOSE TO GA. TECH ON LOCAL COURSE First And Second Places Are Copped By Tech Runner; Ed Powers Finishes Third Special Train Be Run For Georgia Tech Game The usual "Auburn Special" to Atlanta for the Auburn-Georgia Tech game, will again be run by the Western Railroad. The special will leave Montgomery Saturday morning, November-9, at 6:30 a. m., leave Auburn 8:00 a. m. and arrive Atlanta at 11:00 A. M. The low round-trip rate of $2.50 will be made. The special will leave Atlanta that same night. Dothan's civic clubs are making an effort to have next year's Auburn- Florida football game played in their city. The financial success of the Howard-Stetson game, played there last Friday, has given renewed strength to the movement. Chairman of the committee in charge of last week's game expressed confidence that a minimum of 6,000 fans would be drawn by an Auburn-Florida tilt in Memorial stadium. It has been suggested that a committee be sent to Auburn to feel out the athletic officials' sentiments. Agitation for such a game has been growing in the Dothan vicinity for several years. Sponsors for the proposed game say Auburn and Florida would be the most logical foes because of the location. Auburn is only 130 miles from Dothan, while Gainesville, Fla., is approximately 270 miles away. The Dothan Journal for last Friday featured an article about the proposed game. The Journal is edited by Neil Davis, Auburn graduate of '35, and editor of last year's Plainsman. Led by Aldridge and Batson, who finished first and second, respectively, Georgia Tech's cross-country track team defeated the Auburn distance men over a three-mile course at Auburn Saturday afternoon, 23-32. Aldridge, of Tech, ran the distance in 16 minutes 49 seconds to place first. "Dizzy" Batson, also of Tech, finished second in 16 minutes 55 seconds. Ed Powers, of Auburn, finished in third place, running the distance in 17 minutes 15 seconds. Others finishing among the first ten were: Kestler, Tech, 17:17; Stin-son, Auburn, 17:20.4; Captain Bill Emery, Auburn, 17:26.9; Johnson, Tech, 17:44.4; Chandler, Auburn, 17:49.4; O'Callaghan, Tech, 17:52; and Duncan, Auburn, 18:04. This meet inaugurated the 1935 cross-country track season here at Auburn and was also the only home meet of the year. The race started at 3:00 in front of the library. From the library the course went to the Presbyterian church, to the left to the A. T. O. house, turned right and out the old Opelika highway, and then back over the same course. Georgia Tech has one of the strongest teams in the South, having practically the same team as last year. Auburn has only three veteran runners of last year: Emery, Powers, and Chandler. Stinson, who won the cake race last year, showed up well in the race. The next meet will be held against Florida in Gainesville on Nov. 16. FULL PROGRAM IS PLANNED FOR AG FAIR FRIDAY Best Fair In History Is Planned As Committee Works On Phases Of The Celebration PROGRAM AT NIGHT Parade Of Floats Through Town Will Be Held Friday Afternoon; Varied Program Auburn-Opelika Play Group To Give First Performance Tuesday With the annual Ag Fair less than a week off the program committee for the affair has gone to work in earnest to put on the best fair in history. Although the fair is to be an all-day event, there will be no charge made except for the evening program, at which time the most popular part of the ag celebration is staged. The usual parade through town will begin at 3 o'clock Friday afternoon. The procession will consist of most anything from a goat wagon to a caterpillar tractor, the only requirement being that each float represent one or more of the agricultural departments of the college. In the evening the feature program of the fair will be staged on Ag Hill. Beginning with a free-for-all boxing match by seven or eight Negroes, the list of events will include a greased pole climbing contest, buck dancing and hill billy music by "Dusty" Rhodes and his string band. A dollar bill will be perched on the top of the greased pole to become the property of the first person to reach it. Various other acts are being planned, including a mock faculty, and a wheelbarrow polo game in which the barrow will serve as horses and short clubs as mallets. The F. F. A. and Home Ec clubs will also stage' demonstrations. An admission of 10 and 15 cents will be charged for admission to defray the cost of the fair. This is counted as one of the outstanding events on the campus during the fall of each year, and considerable interest is usually shown in this affair. Opening their third' consecutive season, the Aubujrn-Opelika Community Players will present as their first play "My Son," a stirring drama, in Langdon Hall Tuesday evening, November 5th, after opening in Opelika the previous night. This play, although classed as the first play of the new season, is really the last play of the previous season and ticket holders of last season are due one more show. Therefore, all season ticket holders are entitled to see this show on last season's ticket. General admission prices are 15c and 35c. The Executive Board of the Players has decided to give four plays for the new season and sell season tickets at one dollar each. Officials are hoping to have better success in Auburn this season, with four plays being presented in addition to "My Son." The cast includes Miss Maud Bruce, Miss Minnie Spann, Mrs. Cecil Stowe, Miss Eva Cheshire, Morris Fleisher and Cecil Stowe, of Opelika, and Lawrence Hampton, of Opelika. Director Floyd will also take a part in the play. Cecil Stowe, of Opelika, is the new president of the Community Players, and Mrs. A. L. Thomas, of Auburn, is vice-president. Charles Floyd will again direct the group. OVER 1,500 BALLOTS CAST IN ORCHESTRA POLL LAST WEEK; TED FIO RITO LEADS Move Is Underway For Community Fund Here PEP MEETING TO BE STAGED HERE THURSDAY NIGHT Band Will Lead Students In Parade Through Town; Big Affair Before Tech Game Baptist Conclave Be Held In Auburn Soon Drinking Prohibited At Memorial Stadium Drinking will not be tolerated at the Georgia-Auburn game. The Columbus and Muscogee County law agencies have agreed to cooperate with the Georgia-Auburn football association to prohibit drinking at the Memorial stadium and to bar from the game those students that are intoxicated. Following the Montgomery drive on drunken football fans, Columbus is also making an attempt to bar drinking. Alfred Young, Chairman of the Athletic Association, called a meeting of the law enforcement officials last week and requested their support and cooperation. The annual convention of the Alabama Baptist Student Unions will be held with the local Baptist Student Union, beginning Friday night, November 1. The meeting will continue until Sunday afternoon, November 3. Over 200 students are expected to attend the convention, representing Howard, University of Alabama, Judson, Montevallo, Troy, Jacksonville, Huntingdon, and the Baptist School at Eldridge. Davis Cooper, Jr., Director of the Baptist State Department of Education and Training, and Henry Allen Parker, President of the State Student Convention, are in charge of the affair. Miss Rubye Long, President of the Auburn Baptist Student Union; Earnest Thornhill, Student Sunday School Superintendent; Davis C. Woolley, new Student Secretary, and Professor O. T. Ivey, are in charge of local arrangements. The keynote of the convention is: "Sharing Christ With a Waiting World." Another mammoth send-off for Coach Jack Meagher's high stepping Tigers is planned for tomorrow night at 7:00 by Head Cheerleader Bill Mc- Tyiere and his assistants when the team again heads for Louisiana for their encounter with L. S. U., one of the other leading contenders for the championship of the Southeastern Conference. Following the usual procedure, the band will form in front of Langdon Hall and lead a parade of students and Auburn supporters through the business section of the town to the depot. McTyiere, together with Lee, O'Donnell, and Adams, will lead the crowd in many inspiring yells and the band will play until the train is out of sight. Coach Meagher has remarked that these enthusiastic send-offs provide valuable encouragement to the team, and he is very pleased with this expression of confidence in the squad by the turn-outs at the station. The (Continued on page 4) The Auburn Interclub Council will sponsor the raising of $2,000 as the Auburn Community Welfare Fund beginning Monday, November 4, according to announcement of the Fund's general chairman, the Rev. Sam B. Hay. Purpose of the move is to concentrate all community charities into one fund in order to avoid the solicitation of funds for individual projects at various times during the year and to make for greater efficiency in attending to the local needs. Beginning November 4, one concentrated drive will be made, thereby avoiding separate drives and repeated appeals to individuals for funds at various times throughout the year. The $2,000 fund will include the following items: Hospitalization, $425; medicine, $50; transient relief, $25; Christmas relief fund, $150; lunches for underprivileged school children, $150; adequate equipment for health room at the Lee County School, $40; library improvement for the Lee County School (amount to be supplemented by State funds), $300; Boy Scouts, $300; Girl Scouts, $300; books for under privileged school children, $50; and miscellaneous and emergency fund, $210. In case of an over subscription, if the excess is not required by an emergency during the current year, the surplus will be applied to the following year, it was stated by officials. In such case of a carryover of receipts, the total amount required by the succeeding year will be reduced by that amount. Likewise, if the amount received for any one year is not required the balance will be carried forward and applied to the budget of the following year. Miss Bert Newton, city clerk, will serve as treasurer for the Community Welfare Fund. Details as to all receipts and expenditures will be published from time to time. Ted Fio Rito Leads Ballot By 247 Votes; Kyser, Heidt and Kemp Placing At Top VOTING IS CLOSE Social Committee Now Using Every Effort To Obtain One Of The Orchestras Chosen Licenses For Business Delinquent October 31 After next Thursday, October 31, all business licenses will be delinquent and offenders will have the usual 15 per cent penalty as well as $1.50 citation fee plus an additional six per cent interest penalty this year. A last warning has been issued by Probate Judge John Thomas Frazer. N O T I C E ! Photos for the military section of the annual will be taken all day Monday. Those with the rank of captain or above are asked to report any time during the day, wearing blouses and white shirts. Only this day will be reserved for the section, and all those failing to report will not be included in the section. N O T I C E ! The Plainsman wishes to thank Frank Jones and his co-workers, who last Friday made possible the special issue of the paper giving the full details of the Auburn-Duke football game. Active Year Is Planned By Glee Club As Over Thirty Join Group The unexpected good fortune of having 200 dollars voted to the Glee Club by the Student Executive Cabinet at its last meeting was gratefully received by Director Lawrence Bar-nett. "The club is determined to prove to the Cabinet and the student body that the money has been spent for. a good cause," added Barnett. Bi-weekly practices are being held by the club, and the director expects to begin section rehearsals soon. This will allow an hour for studying group parts and will also iron out the errors made by individuals in the sections. No definite plans have been made for the trip to be taken by the organization this year. It is hoped, however, that a tour can be made in December that will take the club to several towns in South Alabama, Columbus and, perhaps Montgomery. Elmer Jones, manager, is now corresponding with perspective sponsors for Glee Club programs in several towns and hopes to have some definite plans within a short time. W. Crossley, Opelika, president; E. Jones, Roanoke, business manager; and H. Campbell, Section, librarian. The complete roster of the club's 38 members lists the following members: G. Hubbard, R. Nettles, J. T. Atkinson, B. W. Brooks, and R. L. Schubert, Auburn; J. T. Edwards, L. W. Pierce, and J. C. Bedsole, Montgomery; W. Crossley, G. Maulsby, and H. M. Renfro, Opelika; W. C. Moore, G. Hairston, S. Teague, and C. N. Wood, Birmingham; S. Scarborough, C. Scarborough, and J. W. Kirkland, Dothan; E. Jones, and F. B. Mullendore, Roanoke. W. Benefield, Speigner; J. Couch, Troy; A. G.

Bil-bro, Alabama City; C. F. Beckert, Gadsden; J. Dunn, Daviston; H. M. Cox, Mobile; T. W. Jester, Camp Hill; G. Perry, Cuthbert, Ga.; H. A total of 1523 ballots were cast by students in the orchestra poll for the mid-term dance set sponsored for the first time this year by the Social Committee. Final count revealed that Ted Fio Rito led all others by a count of 247 votes. Fio Rito was closely followed by Kay Kyser with 233 votes. Other orchestras in the first four included:. Horace Heidt, 218, and Hal Kemp, 207. Throughout the balloting Fio Rito proved a steady favorite of the students, with Heidt making the most rapid climb to third place. The Social Committee is making every effort to obtain one of the above four named orchestras to play •for the Junior Hop. C. Witty Walter, chairman of the committee, announced that the orchestra selected would probably be announced in the very near future. Plans are underway to make the dance set this year one of the largest ever held in Auburn. The dance will begin Thursday afternoon, January 23, and continue through the following Saturday. Mid-term exams end that Thursday afternoon, and there will be no classes from then until the following Monday. Decoration bids will be called for and the contract awarded at an early date in order that more time may be spent on the decorations this year. Already many groups on the campus have either already bought dances or are planning to do so. They include Scabbard and Blade, Eta Kappa Nu, Blue Key and many others. Ted Fio Rito is well known, having gained considerable popularity in his broadcasts from the Pacific Coast and appearance in numerous movie shorts. Kay Kyser, "the genial gentleman of the South," gained wide popularity at Auburn when he played here for the mid-term dances last year. Judging by the number of votes he received in the orchestra poll, there are a number of students on the campus who are in favor of his playing for the same dances this year. Horace Heidt can be heard nightly-over WGN, and during the past year he and his 30-piece band has gained a large following throughout the country. Many consider this band to be the ideal one for a college dance (Continued on page 4) Relations Group Has Initiation Of Members The International Relations Club held the formal initiation ceremony for nine new members last night, in their regular weekly meeting. The purpose of the initiation was to acquaint the new members with the purpose of the club. President M. H. Conner, Professor O. T. Ivey, and Secretary J. P. Ha'ndley presented the background of International Relations as the basis of progress from ancient time until the present. The purpose of the Carnegie foundation and the purpose of the local club, as told by Handley, is "To enlighten and instruct the public in a non-partisan attitude on International Relationship." » The club receives a large number of books, abstracts, circulars, etc., from the Carnegie Endowment for International Peace, Division of Intercourse and Education. The nine new members are: H. O. Barton, J. P. Ennis, G. H. Plumlee, G. L. Randolph, R. A. Roberts, Fred Campbell, Section; and Dimmerling, | Schomburg, J. T. Miller, R. J.

Let's Laugh A Bit It is an undeniable fact that humor in its numerous forms play an important role in the life of the average individual. It is almost impossible to imagine a person wholly devoid of humor. Even one marked by society as a perpetual grouch has within him some traces of humor. People, whether they realize it or not, are continually in search of something to laugh about, some little incident that will make them roar with laughter. A good laugh is a most wonderful tonic for any ill. It is guaranteed to cure all forms of grouch, ill temper, worry and any other similar ailment that tends to take away from the enjoyment of life. A good laugh, like a chalice of Burgundy wine, will make the eyes sparkle and glisten like an early morning dew drop. All cares are forgotten. Every generation produces at least one or two or even more individuals who have that rare ability to find humor in the cora-monplace. Mark Twain had that ability and so did the late Will Rogers. As a rare gem is often found in the mud or in the least promising places, so in the seemingly dull and uninteresting goings and comings of so many people from day to day is the source from which the humorist finds his endless supply of witty remarks and wisecracks. Pure humor is simple. It carries no malice. It hurts nobody; neither is it low or debased. But above all it is simple. It is so simple, in fact, that we overlook it in our rushing about. Humor can be found at any time and at any place, if we could but only take time to find it. We shouldn't have to spend two hours in a movie house to find it when it can be found anywhere just for the looking and at no more cost than a cool drink from a mountain spring. "Too Fast" Last night a selected audience witnessed a showing by the Auburn Players of Noel Coward's "Private Lives." No college students were invited to this affair; only a selected few of about fifty or so attended upon special invitation by the director of the Players. Although the play was cut considerably, it was of sufficient length to give one a good idea of the story. Described as a bit "risque" and as only for those who "like to know the facts of life," it was considered as too "fast" for the students, though it was assured that "nobody's morals would be corrupted." And so no students saw the play. Considering the state of the morals of the students, it is difficult to see what effect, if any, the showing of "Private Lives" could possibly have had. Surely, such a play could not corrupt anybody's morals, unless it be a child's, and they are not expected to understand such a play, anyway. If the average college student's morals are not already "corrupted" to that state, something has been lacking in his or her education. The real reason for excluding students from the play last night, we believe, lies in the feeling by the producer that the students would not appreciate its true worth. It was no doubt thought that the students would witness the play somewhat in the same manner in which they would watch the performance of the "hootchi kootchies" in a two-bit side show. In other words, they wouldn't know how to take such lines in the play described as a bit "risque." This is probably so, as observation will show in more than one instance that the average college student at Auburn has not yet learned to appreciate the art in the type of play that was given last night. Letters to the Editor Ed. Note: The following letter was written in response to an item appearing in John Temple • Graves' column, "This Morning," in the Birmingham Age-Herald, severely criticising the manner in which the Auburn stands receiyed the announcement of the score of the Alabama-Mississippi State game: Mr. John Temple Graves, II, Birmingham Age-Herald, Birmingham, Ala. Dear Sir: As a daily reader of your column I have always been impressed with your fairness in regard to the natural rivalry between Auburn and the University of Alabama. It was, therefore, with some disappointment that I read your column of October 24, noting your comment on the manner in which the Auburn stands at the Tennessee game received the announcement of the score of the Alabama-Mississippi State game. In saying that Auburn "applauded wildly," there is a slight chance that you may have been mistaken to a certain degree as to the nature of the outburst. Although admitting that there was some applause, I, being seated in about the center of the Auburn cheering section, was inclined to believe that much of the outburst which you chose to interpret as cheering may have been caused as much by surprise as by elation, since the outcome was so totally unexpected. Granted, however, that the outbreak was due entirely to joy on hearing of the impending defeat of an arch rival, I believe that had you been aware of the following facts at the time of writing your column, your statements would have been altered to a considerable extent. You probably did not know that on every occasion in which Alabama has been to Rose Bowl, the Auburn Alumni Association has sent indications of support conducive to good will; you probably were not listening to the radio last year when Bing Crosby announced that acceptances from Auburn men were among the first received to his famous wager on the Stanford team; you probably did not know that a delegation of Auburn alumni were among those meeting the Alabama team when they arrived in Washington this year to play George Washington University. But had you not been aware of any of these facts and been at the Auburn-Kentucky game in Montgomery to hear the roar of approval and applause which followed the announcement «f Tennessee's rout by Alabama, this alone would have shown you the error in the opinion received at the Auburn-Tennessee game. In conclusion I would like to state that this letter was not written with any feeling of ill-will, but solely to place in your possession certain facts which, among many others express the true regard in which Auburn holds her sister institution. Respectfully yours, ALVIN MORLAND. Editor the Plainsman: Auburn, Ala. A statement was made in the last issue of the Plainsman referring to a girl wearing green pajamas on a date. Since this statement has caused some misunderstanding, we wish to say that the girl referred to does not date in pajamas. It is true, however, that she was dressed in lounging (not sleeping) pajamas, studying for a quiz at a time she had an unexpected caller. Without changing her attire, she went to the bottom of the stairs to tell her caller that she was too busy to date. Not so bad after all. So let's all conform to the slogan: "There is so much good in the worst of us and so much bad in the best of us, that it behooves all of us not to talk about the rest of us." FRIENDS. The game of Lawn Bowls, one of the oldest as well as one of the simplest of out-of-door games, is finding increased popularity in American colleges. Several schools now include it on their co-ed athletic programs. John Germ is interested in bacteriology. He's written Ohio State University for information relative to a course in that subject. Upward of 18,000 people are playing basketball throughout the United States.

The other stuffed shirt in the show was not best man on account of he didn't know nothing about the so-called wedding and wouldn't have approved had he been there . . . he being one of the "Two bits for a show, and a dime for church" Methodists. The bride was given away by a run in her stocking, and the flowers were held by flower bushes behind the car . . there not being enough female brats around at the time. The honey-moon, such as it was, was spent in a "I'll dry my pants on the gas jet if I wish," back hall room. The frowz and the mug occupied the same room at the same time on account it was raining outside and neither had the heart to ask the other to run and slumber in the drizzle. They meant well, anyway, and as neither was chewing tobacco they didn't mess the room up.

Correspondent Birmingham, Ala.—In a week or so this column will carry a Washington dateline again, and concern itself once more with bureaus and officeholders, programs and the people behind them, but in the interim, while moving about the South, I am .relaxing enough to permit myself the pleasure of doing a piece now and then about stray subjects. The stray subject this time is the football game I saw played here yesterday, between Auburn and the University of Tennessee, the first southern game I have ever witnessed. It was an excellent game, but never mind that. What interests me is that the events of the afternoon did not come up to expectations. I expected entirely different behaviour on the part of the fans. Having seen a number of games in the north, played between southern and northern teams, at which seventeen southern rooters, a tiny little patch in a mass of home team supporters, usually outyelled all the rooters for the home team, having met in my time a great many high spirited southern gentlemen, the most fragile of whom at any sort of athletic contest could drown out a calliope. I was frankly disappointed by the sustained periods of silence and by the mild bursts of cheering that came from the stands during the game. Partisanship, I had thought previously, must be even more pronounced at southern games than northern ones. I Have heard alumni of southern colleges talk about games played in the dim past, great historic games that they attended. And they spoke of them in tense manner, with a repressed fervor that brought back faint echoes of mighty cheers that rolled out from the stands when Bancroft Bogie, of the 'Bama Bogies, tore off a 70-yard run only to be brought down at last on the five-yard line by a peanut vendor, who later turned out to be Buell Bogie, of the Arkansas Bogies, own kin but lifelong enemies of the 'Bama Bogies. Somehow, I thought, when southern rooters cheered their men on in some uncanny fashion they got a warlike note into their cheers, a blare as of bugles. At such a moment, I thought, if you shut your eyes you might easily be fooled into thinking it was the cheer that rose up from Pickett's men when they swept forward toward the Union lines at Gettysburg. But, if the Auburn-Tennessee game is a fair sample, it is not like that at all. For two and a half hours I failed to hear a solitary rebel yell. No one got up and let out so much as a single, irrelevant, piercing "Ya-hoooo!" People sat around the dew falls on honeysuckle and the moon falls on both . . they glitter, smell sweet; they are beautiful, but not near so much as you. BUT . . the honeysuckle doesn't glitter with a "Gad, ain't I a humdinger" prettiness twenty-four hours a day, and that is the secret of the prettiness of the honeysuckle. * * * * It would behoove the best of us to look forward to the day when the old hen don't lay no more, and the milk has turned sour. * * * * Blackmail is better than no mail at all. and looked properly mournful, as Tennessee made large decisive gains and collected two touchdowns inside of five minutes. And partisanship, bitter partisanship, was at a low ebb. Directly in back of me sat two Auburn fans, one drunk and the other sober. Next to them sat two Tennessee rooters, and here, too, one of them was drunk and the other sober. Did they call the referee a robber and a buzzard when he made a decision adverse to their team? They did not. They pointed out to the opposing rooters the excellence of the referee's eyesight and the fine calibre of his judgment. The Auburn two held their.heads in their hands gloomily, and freely admitted to the Tennesseans that Tennessee was the superior team. The Tennessee supporters denied it stoutly and took pains to explain that their team had had the breaks and that was all there was to it. The place reeked of good sportsmanship. The Auburn men began to applaud politely for Tennessee whenever their team put a difficult play over successfully. The Tennesseans began to look embarrassed and unhappy whenever their players broke through Auburn's line, as if fearful that such behav-ious on the part of their team would break up what looked like the beginning of a beautiful friendship among the four of them in the stands. In front of me there was an interesting example of optimism at war with pessimism, of faith struggling with reality, in the person of an Auburn rooter who was one of the few who ever raised his voice independently to spur his team on. "Hold 'em, Auburn!" he would yell, when Auburn was losing ground. And sotto voce he would add gloomily, "To ten touchdowns." "Watch 'em make them first downs," he cried at another point. And sotto voce, "If they don't drop the ball." "Let's make a slight touchdown, Auburn," he bellowed toward the end of the game. "And Tennessee will make three of 'em," he mumbled unhappily. There were only two fistfights in the stands during the game. This is far fewer than one finds starting during the course of games in the north and the Middle West. Moreover, no inebriate appeared . before the stands between halves, as is customary in other sections of the country during football games, and offered to lead cheers for the crowd or to buy drinks for all the Smiths present. I am glad to say, however, that several times during the game someone announced over the stadium sound amplifier that a Mr. O'Toole was wanted at Gate One. Usually it is a Mr. Chopclowsky that is wanted, but at the Auburn game Mr. O'Toole was in demand. They called for him several times, and either they found him or they gave it up as a bad job, because finally they stopped asking for him. Even when Mr. O'Toole was being summoned from whatever hiding place he was sulking in, the crowd showed a lack of spirit. Not a single waggish remark was made about Mr. O'Toole, about his wife or the G-Men wanting him. Yes, the crowd de.finitely lacked color. ROUND AND ROUND By Floyd Hurt EDITOR'S NOTE: The opinions expressed in this column are not necessarily the editorial opinions of this paper. It is a column of personal comment, and is not to be read as an expression of our . editorial policy. AUBURN through the last several years has been quite financially embarrassed and unable to replace worn equipment and purchase new. She has also been unable at times to meet her obligations to the faculty. But in spite of this she has continued to increase the number of gift educations to students whose parents contribute nothing to the taxes on which Auburn is dependent for support. According to figures given in the Plainsman of October 23, there are now enrolled here at Auburn 401 students from out of the state. Based on figures given by the authorities, it costs $300 to send one student to Auburn for a year. With the total enrollment of 2,171 students the total cost will be $651,300 for this year. Of this amount resident students will contribute $115,050, with their $32.50 each semester. The out-of-stato students pay $46,115 or $32.50 and $25 each semester. Aside from the amount paid by the latter there is left to the Alabama taxpayer a total of $74,185 to be paid for the education of men and women from other states. This number is rapidly increasing each year and the burden is becoming heavier and heavier on the Alabama taxpayer and is also preventing Auburn from making needed improvements for Alabama students. This is not to.be taken as a complaint against out-of-state students. It is merely the presentation of a fact of which the college should take notice. There is a very simple remedy. Many other states have recognized the unfairness of a system such as ours and have remedied it with a lift in the out-of-state fees. Should this fee here at Auburn be raised from $25 to $125 a semester there would be no complaint as to the expenditure of the taxpayer's money. This method of charging such a fee should have one reservation, however. Due to the number of students from states bordering Alabama and likewise to the number of Alabama men and women attending schools of these bordering states there might be arranged a reciprocal agreement between the state institutions. The present out-of-state fee might be retained for Tennessee, Mississippi, Florida and Georgia students with the understanding between Alabama's state institutions that we might have the same preference in their institutions. There would be a cost to the Alabama taxpayers even here but costs would balance in a number of years. It is doubtless that out-of-state students are a good advertisement for a school. It is a help to have the name of an institution carried throughout the country and even into foreign countries by its graduates. But until the educational facilities of the school itself are increased and until the accommodations for an increase in the number of students is made, such advertising is bound to hinder rather than help. The necessity of state institutions of higher learning was recognized a number of years ago as the best method of insuiv ing to the children of the average taxpayer a college education. Due to this method of insuring such education, state colleges and universities have become a vital part of all state educational structures. But care must be taken not to defeat their fundamental purpose: the education of the young men and women of the state. * * * * it Auburn is beginning to step out with her 1935-36 edition of rain and dismal weath,er. When it begins is the time to look back over a month or so of sunshine. One of the noticeable results uf an elongated dry spell is the big crop of mosquitoes. They are bad enough on clear nights when the moon is shining and you can get up and walk off and leave them. But these rainy nights when along with the fuss of the rain on the roof there comes the hum-hum of a thousand strong making a noise similar to a couple of freight trains at 60, they slip up on you and take a nice size piece of ear before you have even had a chance to bury your head beneath a pillow. They have no feeling at all. If you resist because of the natural resentment against a disturbed sleep they get mean and pull the cover off. What is the need of saying Flit to them. If you lock yourself up in the room with the mosquitoes and Flit the animals get really tough and pull you out of bed. There is need of cold weather. What a pleasure it would be to see the wingless thieves shivvering and Hoping over on then-back. Free! A good night's sleep— thanks to the cold weather. But there arises another problem. Who got the extra cover you had put away for just such a snap as this. Shiver, shiver and then up to build a fire. Another night's sleep gone. Is there no relief?

Bon-durant Now Employed By Rubber Company In Florida W. V. (Benny) Fenton and J. F. Bondurant, graduates of the class of '35, are now located in the Miami and Jacksonville, Florida branches of the Firestone Tire and Rubber Company, after finishing a six months course of training with the company. Fenton and Bondurant were picked for the course last spring by a visiting representative of the company, and from here they left immediately for the training headquarters. At the completion of the course, October 15, the two men were asked where they desired to locate. Both chose Florida. According to Dean J. W. Scott of the School of Business Administration this occurs quite frequently with the graduates that are picked by the various companies for training courses or jobs. "The demand for good men in the field of business is by far greater than the supply. To date we have two letters from companies asking that we recommend men for jobs. The one thing that the letters stress is that the men be above the average. So much does the General Motors Corporation stress this, the letter mentions this qualification five times in one paragraph. Students cannot realize how important their grades and their general conduct here is when it comes to picking out men that are to be recommended.

Weekly Teas Will Be Given By Group Here The Women's Student Government will begin its weekly teas this afternoon. Since women students have little opportunity to be associated as a whole, it is the purpose of these informal teas to allow them to be together more. Last year these teas proved to be quite successful and enjoyable with a large number of the women students attending them. It is hoped this year that more of the girls will become regular Wednesday afternoon visitors at Smith Hall between the hours of four and five thirty. Miss Barrymore Will Appear In Play Soon Many Auburn people will be interested in' seeing Miss Ethel Barry-more in her performance at Montgomery on November 4. She will play in Somerset Maugham's comedy hit, "The Constant Wife" at Lanier Auditorium. Miss Barrymore criticizes the American theater from two standpoints. She says that few players know how to listen and pay attention to the speeches of other characters in the play. Also, she thinks that few actors know how to speak English—too much slurring or swallowing of words is the cause for this. Seats may be bought at French's, Inc., Saturday, November 2.

Wilson Turner, of Atlanta, and C. L. Daily and W. L. Daily, of near Atlanta, each was fined $50 and sentenced to 10 days of hard labor. It was found that the tickets were not counterfeit, as was first believed. They were printed in Atlanta at the same printing office that prints the official tickets. It is not known how the tickets were obtained, but an investigation is being made. The racket was discovered when there was reported confusion in the seat numbers of the stadium. The false tickets were like the official tickets except that they were not stamped "general admission." Dr. Duncan Attends Monroeville Meet Dr. L. N. Duncan, President of A. P.

Corn Harvested From Demonstration Plots Of Local High F.F.A. Alabama Soil Erosion Control Studied Here LOST—A silver link bracelet with Naval Academy seal. Please return to Eloise Brown. 253 S. Gay St. The corn demonstrations sponsored by the Auburn High F. F. A. Chapter in cooperation with the Chilean Nitrate Educational Bureau have been harvested and the corn weighed by the officers of the local chapter. On the demonstration conducted by Eddy Jones, the two acres side dressed with 200 lbs. of Chilean Nitrate of Soda per acre produced 48.4 bushels or an average of 24.2 bushels per acre, the one-half acre without nitrate produced 3.9 bushels or an auverage of 7.8 bushels per acre. The demonstration conducted by Woodrow Rowell produced 38 bushels per acre on the area side-dressed with 200 lbs. of nitrate of soda per acre and 9.6 bushels where no nitrogen was used. The average results of these two demonstrations show that an application of 200 lbs. of nitrate of soda increases the yield of corn 22.3 bushels per acre. The corn was weighed by the officers of the local chapter: Allen Turner, president; Chas. Isbell, vice-president; Jim Flanigan, secretary; Donald Cottier, treasurer and Harold Smyer, reporter. To make a thorough study of the soil erosion control program being carried out in Alabama, four residents of Louisiana visited the Experiment Station here and the Tallapoosa County soil erosion project- The Louisiana party was composed of H. C. Sanders, extension district agent, Baton Rouge; Leon Mitchell, county agent, Jonesboro; J. S. Garner and J. A. Smith, Chatham. Prof. M. L. Nichols, agricultural engineer, and Emmett Sizemore, extension district agent, accompanied the visitors over the Experiment Station here and the Tallapoosa County project. Chemical Group Here Holds First Meeting The first meeting of the year was held last Monday night by the Auburn Chemical Society. Prof. H. D.

"Moon" Ducote, the best all-around back ever to tote a pigskin on a Tiger eleven, now coaches at Loyola, New Orleans. Jimmy Hitchcock, All-American halfback in 1932, divides his time assisting Coach Meagher in developing Auburn elevens and playing baseball with the Newark Bears. "Boots" Chambless, who was second to none in coming out of his guard position to block for the backs, now teaches Tiger linesman how it is done. "Fats" Lawrence, man mountain, is now employed by Hercules Power Company. Fred McCollum, of play-diagnosing fame, is also a member of the Orange and Blue coaching staff. "Robbie" Robinson, who was an expert at boxing the tackles, is now a captain in the United States army. Paul Bidez, a really smart quarterback, now experiments with steel in the State Chemistry Laboratory, better known to us as the Ross Chemical Building. As a sideline to his chemistry, Mr. Bidez leads the famous Auburn Band. Rainy Day Schedule Is Published Again In order to refresh the memory of R. O. T. C. students concerning where they meet in case of a rainy day schedule being in force, the following regulations are reprinted: All Sophomores will meet in Lang-don Hall, Juniors in the Ross Chemical Lab. and Seniors also in the chemical lab.

Scarseth Back From Porto Rican Jaunt Perry Woolf Is Added To Veterinary Faculty Mr. Frank Perry Woolf, Auburn alumnus of 1910, has been added to the faculty of the school of veterinary medicine as an instructor, filling the vacancy caused by resignation. He will assist in clinics and teach classes in anatomy. Doctor Woolf came to Auburn from Baldwin county as a student. After graduation in veterinary medicine he worked for the City of Mobile as a meat and milk inspector from 1910 to 1921. For the next four years he was veterinary superintendent at Vadco Farms near Mobile; and from 1925 to 1935 he was veterinarian for the State Convict Department in Montgomery. Doctor Woolf is a member of the American Veterinary Medical Association, Alabama Veterinary Medical Association, and of the Southern States Veterinary Medical Association. AUBURN HIGH TO PLAY GAME HERE TO RAISE FUNDS Half Of Proceeds From Game Be Used For Local "Cripple Children's Fund"; Be Friday OPELIKA • THEATRE • WEDNESDAY "PARKIN SPRING" with Mary Ellis, Tullio Carminati THURSDAY THE FLAME WITHIN" Herbert Marshall Ann Harding FRIDAY W. C. Fields in MAN ON THE FLYING TRAPEZE' u a •» MONDAY AND TUESDAY November 4 and 5 Ginger Rogers and Fred Astaire in "TOP HAT" Dr. George Scarseth, professor in the Agronomy and Soils Department, told the experiences he had while doing research work for the United Fruit Company in Porto Rico, Jamaica, Honduras, and Mexico to the Collegiate Chapter of Future Farmers of America last Tuesday night. A number of pictures taken by Dr. Scarseth were used as illustrations in the discussion of his travels and of native life in the tropics. In pointing out the fact that banana raising is the largest agricultural industry in the countries in which he worked, Dr. Scarseth discussed methods of swamp drainage*, planting, harvesting, transportation, and shipment of bananas. Collegiate Review By A. C. P. Harvard authorities have dismissed as highly improbable press reports concerning a new and deadly weapon reported recently invented by Guglielmo Marconi, inventor of wireless telegraphy. The device is said to be able to stop internal combustion engines from a considerable distance. The first college cheer is credited to Princeton students, who got the idea from an unknown private of the Seventh Regiment of New York, as the outfit mobilized for war in April, 1860. With half the proceeds going to the "Cripple Children Fund," the Auburn Hi Tigers will engage the Camp Hill Eleven in Auburn Friday afternoon. In the past there has been some trouble in taking care of the large crowds, but with, the permission of the College Athletic Department, Drake Field will be used. The different clubs of Auburn are helping to make the sale of tickets the largest ever for a high school game. The Auburn Hi Tigers have improved greatly in their last two tilts, winning from Union Springs and Fairfax by impressive scores. Hampered all season by injuries and the lack of reserves, the locals have had much trouble in finding their stride, but without further injuries this wee.k they should be in excellent shape for the game Friday. Although expecting a hard game, Coach Fowler hopes to show the local fans a team that will compare favorably with last season's undefeated eleven. The game is called for 3:00 and the admission will be 15 and 25 cents. Two Indiana campus sweethearts of the 90's have found a last resting place near a historic old sun dial on the grounds of the Greencastle institution. Their ashes were scattered in that place by their son. PEP MEETING TO BE STAGED HERE THURSDAY NIGHT (Continued from page 1) gathering of a large portion of the student body at the depot furnishes an excellent aid to the morale of the Tigers, according to Coach Meagher, and it is his express desire that this practice be continued on the same scale as in the past. Plans for the annual "Wreck Tech" parade and mass meeting scheduled for next week preceding the game with Georgia Tech in Atlanta are already being laid by Mc- Tyiere and his corps of assistants. A pajama parade and snake dance will be featured along with speeches by members of the team and coaching staff. OVER 1,500 BALLOTS CAST IN ORCHESTRA POLL HERE LAST WEEK (Continued from page 1) set. Hal Kemp, of Black Hawk fame, continues to rate high. For the past several months he has been engaged in New York. Other orchestras that received honorable mention in the poll include: Guy Lombardo, Joe Sanders, Wayne King, and Jan Garber.

Football's longest run from scrimmage was made by Wyllys Terry, of Yale, against Wesleyan, November 4, 1884. Terry ran 115 yards for a touchdown, starting from five yards behind his own goal line. The feat could not be duplicated today. It has been impossible since 1912, when the old 100-yard field was shortened to the present 100-yard length. Dr. A. S. Pearse, Duke University zoologist, is making a special study of oyster diseases and their prevention. The work is being financed by the government. Russian medical students are classed as workers and are paid 100 rubles a month by the government. Dr. Joseph Remenyi, lecturer in comparative literature at Cleveland College, is completing his latest book, "Series of American Literary Portraits of Nineteenth Century American Writers." The book is written in Hungarian and will be published in Budapest. The University of Minnesota has its own newsreel theater. Lampoon, Harvard publication, is the oldest college humor magazine in America. The University of Vermont has distributed a booklet on etiquette to the male contingent on the campus. Twenty-one Backnell University women are listed in the newly-published American Women official "Who's Who" mong the women of the nation. College students, notoriously hard drivers, are having a little caution instilled these days. The sensational Reader's Digest article "—And Sudden Death," which deals realistically with the horror of automobile crashes, is being widely reprinted in the collegiate press. In a single year, the central earthquake reporting bureau at Oxford University reported 7000 temblors, of varying severity, occurring in all quarters of the globe. High Cost Of Living Discussed by Hoover New York—(ACP)—The present United States national policies, especially in fiscal and currency problems, have brought an increase in the cost of living and at the same time are depreciating the purchasing power of the income from trustee securities, such as make up the endowments of universities, former President Herbert Hoover charged in a recent -address here. Speaking at a dinner of alumni of Leland Stanford Junior University, Mr. Hoover said that if the theoretical devaluation of the dollar by 41 per cent should be realized in actual effect, then the nine billion dollar property and endowments of universities, colleges, hospitals, public libraries and other welfare institutions would be devalued to the same extent. Full Time Secretary Now Had By BSU Here Auburn is the first school in Alabama to have a full time Baptist Student Secretary. Through the cooperation of the church and the continual efforts of the Baptist Student Union for many years, this achievement has been accomplished, and Mr. Davis C. Woolley is the man secured for the position. Mr. Woolley is well qualified for this job as he has prepared himself for student work and has worked with students before. He received his A.B. degree from Howard College in 1930. While at Howard he was actively engaged in student activities, being editor of the Howard Crimson, editor of the freshman handbook, and president of Howard's B. S. U. He received his master's degree in Theology from the Southern Baptist Theological Seminary, Louisville, Kentucky, in 1933. Since receiving his master's degree, Mr. Woolley has been pastor of two churches in Henderson, Kentucky; however, he is a native Alabamian. FUTURE FARMERS OF AMERICA HAS SUCCESSFUL GROUP HERE Local Unit Organized Here Last Year Is One Of The Few Successful College Chapters Found In The Country And Now Stands As A Model For Other Groups; Sixty Members Railway Overpass To Be Built In Opelika Work will be started immediately on the new overpass over the Central of Georgia Railway in Opelika. The contract specifies a street and concrete bridge, and with the concrete paving to be made, the total length will be nearly half a mile. The State Highway Department reported that the Couch Construction Company in Dothan was the low bidder at $139,882.66. This overpass is over the tracks crossing the Auburn-Opelika highway immediately this side of Opelika. Bullard Field Closed Until Further Notice The Military Department requests that fraternities and students refrain from using the parade grounds (Bullard Field) for touch football practice until further notice. Winter grass has been sown upon this field and it is desired to give it an opportunity to grow. Another notice will be published as soon as it is felt that play thereon can be resumed without undue damage to the growth of this winter grass. Football Rates Second To Frosh At Princeton Princeton, N. J.—(ACP)—For the first time in the history of Princeton, more freshmen are interested in rowing than in football. A check of the class of 1939 showed 112 freshmen out for crew while 91 football aspirants reported for practice. Last year football attracted 90 men and crew only 73. Prospects for both freshman crew and football are excellent. Announcement of the discovery of a red-tailed hawk new to science was made at Cornell University recently by Dr. George M. Sutton, curator of birds at the university. Questionnaire Causes Comment On Campus Philadelphia, Pa.—ACP)—A questionnaire skirmish recently embroiled men and women on the University of Pennsylvania campus. The Daily Pennsylvanian started it by asking the men whether they preferred pretty girls or smart ones, slinky or fluffy evening dresses, and other questions of importance in higher education. The girls countered with a questionnaire for women students which began: "Do you like intelligent men or the typical college boy?" FRANK WILL PLAY ON A $50,000 VIOLIN THURSDAY EVENING (Continued from page 1) the Mendelssohn Concerto, considered one of the greatest of all violin compositions; Shuber's Ave Maria; and Gypsy Airs by Sarasate, a composition of Are, force and passion, truly displaying the various moods of a gypsy.

Within the short period of its activity, the Auburn chapter with its 60 members has progressed rapidly and now stands as a model for F. F. A. organizations. These Future Farmers groups were formerly organized only in high schools. Only within the last few years have they been,introduced into colleges. This step was taken in order that the agricultural education graduate, who has charge of this club work in the community where he is teaching, will be prepared to assume the duties "as leader. Since this is a comparatively new group on the campus here and has been publicized very little, Mr. P. C. Brook, assistant supervisor of vocational Agriculture and assistant advisor for State F. F. A. chapters, has pointed out some important facts concerning local, state, and national F. F. A. units. The Future Farmers of America is the national organization of farm students studying vocational agriculture in the public high schools and students taking agricultural education in colleges throughout the country. Seven years following its founding at Kansas City, Missouri, in 1928, 47 states, including Hawaii, and Puerto Rico had formed 3,500 chapters with a total membership of over 100,000. This organization was found to promote leadership and as a means of furnishing social contacts for the rural boys. The local F. F. A. group plans its program in line with the state activity work. The states, in turn, base their programs on the subject matter taken up by the national organization. Community clubs send delegates to the state conventions where various problems are discussed and officers elected. Alabama state meetings are held in Auburn each summer. State delegates are sent to national conventions each year. Recently each state has formed districts composed of a number of local units, which tend to bring the state and community organizations closer together. N O T I C E ! The Music Department of the Woman's Club will meet tonight at 4 eight o'clock in the auditorium of Broun Hall.

Students are reminded that class pictures will be taken only through this week, and all those who have not had their picture made are asked to do so at the soonest possible time. It is understood that no appointments will be necessary. On Monday of next week pictures' will be taken of the senior cadet officers from the rank of Captain on up. Those not having their pictures taken at that time will not be included in the section. It was also stated by Campbell that many students who requested to have their photos to be placed in their respective fraternity panels have failed to call by the Glomerata office and pay the necessary charge. On the other hand there are many who have failed to select the proof of their picture they desire to be put in the annual. Work on all sections of the book has been planned and will get underway shortly, with prospects of having one of the largest yearbooks ever published at Auburn. The book this year will be different in many respects. Marked changes are being planned for many of the sections. Cover designs have been submitted and contracts will be let soon. Campus views this year will also be treated in a different manner, the exact plans not being announced until a later date. A larger athletic section and a unique beauty section are two of the outstanding changes to be made. As yet no plans have been disclosed concerning the selection this year of "Miss Auburn." The snapshot section will alBO be enlarged to cover in more complete detail the many phases of campus life at Auburn. Military Department Bans Mixed Uniforms In order to stop the wearing of mixed uniforms by the students, the following order was issued by the Military Department: "Inasmuch as the wearing of the R. O. T. C. uniform other than at drill only is optional with the student; improper wearing of the uniform on the campus and about town will stop immediately. "Improper wearing of the uniform comprises: (a) Any mixed uniform and civilian clothes. (b) Wearing uniform with sleeves rolled or collar unbuttoned, or any portion of the uniform missing, etc. "In order to stop immediately the practice of wearing improper uniform on the campus and about town, cadet officers will report to the military office all violations of the above. "Should this have little effect, students will be required to wear the uniform to all classes." FRANK WILL PLAY $50,000 VIOLIN THURSDAY EVENING Will Appear In Concert In Langdon Hall Here Thursday Night At 8:30 With His Brother, Bernard; Is Second In All-Star Concert Series Being Sponsored By Alabama Music League Debate Tourney To Get Underway Here Soon At the regular weekly meeting of the debate club last Monday night the complete list of teams were named and the dates announced for their respective debates in both the freshman and varsity tournament being sponsored this year by Tau Kappa Alpha, honorary debate fraternity. The varsity will argue on the question concerning the giving of Congress power to override by a two-thirds vote those decisions of the Supreme Court declaring a law unconstitutional.

The varsity debates will be held from 7 to 8 o'clock in the evenings in Room 301, Samford Hall. The freshman debates will be held in the afternoon in the same room from 4 to 5 o'clock. The Cambridge Debaters will appear in Langdon Hall on November 11 at 8 o'clock. All students and townspeople interested are invited to attend all debates and are especially urged to be on hand for the debate with the Cambridge team. Using a $50,000 instrument, Philip Frank, violinist, will appear in concert with his brother, Bernard, pianist, here Thursday evening at 8:30 in Langdon Hall. This is to be the second in an all-star Concert Series by the Alabama Music League with the Auburn Glee Club as local sponsors. Frank was chosen to represent America at the silver jubilee celebration in England last summer. The critics in Europe and America have been extravagant in their praise of this young artist. To quote one of the most famous violinists in the world, Efrem Zim-balist: "May I congratulate you upon securing the services of Philip Frank. He is an excellent violinist, and I am sure that your audience will be greatly pleased both by his playing and his personality." His brother, Bernard Frank, who accompanies him, is on the staff of the Curtis Institute, which fact speaks for itself. Frank and his brother made a profound impression on a large audience in Birmingham. Their program is a varied one, including compositions of the classic, romantic, and modern schools. Especially outstanding are (Continued on page 4) Dothan Makes Effort To Have Auburn Game AUBURN HARRIERS LOSE TO GA. TECH ON LOCAL COURSE First And Second Places Are Copped By Tech Runner; Ed Powers Finishes Third Special Train Be Run For Georgia Tech Game The usual "Auburn Special" to Atlanta for the Auburn-Georgia Tech game, will again be run by the Western Railroad. The special will leave Montgomery Saturday morning, November-9, at 6:30 a. m., leave Auburn 8:00 a. m. and arrive Atlanta at 11:00 A. M. The low round-trip rate of $2.50 will be made. The special will leave Atlanta that same night. Dothan's civic clubs are making an effort to have next year's Auburn- Florida football game played in their city. The financial success of the Howard-Stetson game, played there last Friday, has given renewed strength to the movement. Chairman of the committee in charge of last week's game expressed confidence that a minimum of 6,000 fans would be drawn by an Auburn-Florida tilt in Memorial stadium. It has been suggested that a committee be sent to Auburn to feel out the athletic officials' sentiments. Agitation for such a game has been growing in the Dothan vicinity for several years. Sponsors for the proposed game say Auburn and Florida would be the most logical foes because of the location. Auburn is only 130 miles from Dothan, while Gainesville, Fla., is approximately 270 miles away. The Dothan Journal for last Friday featured an article about the proposed game. The Journal is edited by Neil Davis, Auburn graduate of '35, and editor of last year's Plainsman. Led by Aldridge and Batson, who finished first and second, respectively, Georgia Tech's cross-country track team defeated the Auburn distance men over a three-mile course at Auburn Saturday afternoon, 23-32. Aldridge, of Tech, ran the distance in 16 minutes 49 seconds to place first. "Dizzy" Batson, also of Tech, finished second in 16 minutes 55 seconds. Ed Powers, of Auburn, finished in third place, running the distance in 17 minutes 15 seconds. Others finishing among the first ten were: Kestler, Tech, 17:17; Stin-son, Auburn, 17:20.4; Captain Bill Emery, Auburn, 17:26.9; Johnson, Tech, 17:44.4; Chandler, Auburn, 17:49.4; O'Callaghan, Tech, 17:52; and Duncan, Auburn, 18:04. This meet inaugurated the 1935 cross-country track season here at Auburn and was also the only home meet of the year. The race started at 3:00 in front of the library. From the library the course went to the Presbyterian church, to the left to the A. T. O. house, turned right and out the old Opelika highway, and then back over the same course. Georgia Tech has one of the strongest teams in the South, having practically the same team as last year. Auburn has only three veteran runners of last year: Emery, Powers, and Chandler. Stinson, who won the cake race last year, showed up well in the race. The next meet will be held against Florida in Gainesville on Nov. 16. FULL PROGRAM IS PLANNED FOR AG FAIR FRIDAY Best Fair In History Is Planned As Committee Works On Phases Of The Celebration PROGRAM AT NIGHT Parade Of Floats Through Town Will Be Held Friday Afternoon; Varied Program Auburn-Opelika Play Group To Give First Performance Tuesday With the annual Ag Fair less than a week off the program committee for the affair has gone to work in earnest to put on the best fair in history. Although the fair is to be an all-day event, there will be no charge made except for the evening program, at which time the most popular part of the ag celebration is staged. The usual parade through town will begin at 3 o'clock Friday afternoon. The procession will consist of most anything from a goat wagon to a caterpillar tractor, the only requirement being that each float represent one or more of the agricultural departments of the college. In the evening the feature program of the fair will be staged on Ag Hill. Beginning with a free-for-all boxing match by seven or eight Negroes, the list of events will include a greased pole climbing contest, buck dancing and hill billy music by "Dusty" Rhodes and his string band. A dollar bill will be perched on the top of the greased pole to become the property of the first person to reach it. Various other acts are being planned, including a mock faculty, and a wheelbarrow polo game in which the barrow will serve as horses and short clubs as mallets. The F. F. A. and Home Ec clubs will also stage' demonstrations. An admission of 10 and 15 cents will be charged for admission to defray the cost of the fair. This is counted as one of the outstanding events on the campus during the fall of each year, and considerable interest is usually shown in this affair. Opening their third' consecutive season, the Aubujrn-Opelika Community Players will present as their first play "My Son," a stirring drama, in Langdon Hall Tuesday evening, November 5th, after opening in Opelika the previous night. This play, although classed as the first play of the new season, is really the last play of the previous season and ticket holders of last season are due one more show. Therefore, all season ticket holders are entitled to see this show on last season's ticket. General admission prices are 15c and 35c. The Executive Board of the Players has decided to give four plays for the new season and sell season tickets at one dollar each. Officials are hoping to have better success in Auburn this season, with four plays being presented in addition to "My Son." The cast includes Miss Maud Bruce, Miss Minnie Spann, Mrs. Cecil Stowe, Miss Eva Cheshire, Morris Fleisher and Cecil Stowe, of Opelika, and Lawrence Hampton, of Opelika. Director Floyd will also take a part in the play. Cecil Stowe, of Opelika, is the new president of the Community Players, and Mrs. A. L. Thomas, of Auburn, is vice-president. Charles Floyd will again direct the group. OVER 1,500 BALLOTS CAST IN ORCHESTRA POLL LAST WEEK; TED FIO RITO LEADS Move Is Underway For Community Fund Here PEP MEETING TO BE STAGED HERE THURSDAY NIGHT Band Will Lead Students In Parade Through Town; Big Affair Before Tech Game Baptist Conclave Be Held In Auburn Soon Drinking Prohibited At Memorial Stadium Drinking will not be tolerated at the Georgia-Auburn game. The Columbus and Muscogee County law agencies have agreed to cooperate with the Georgia-Auburn football association to prohibit drinking at the Memorial stadium and to bar from the game those students that are intoxicated. Following the Montgomery drive on drunken football fans, Columbus is also making an attempt to bar drinking. Alfred Young, Chairman of the Athletic Association, called a meeting of the law enforcement officials last week and requested their support and cooperation. The annual convention of the Alabama Baptist Student Unions will be held with the local Baptist Student Union, beginning Friday night, November 1. The meeting will continue until Sunday afternoon, November 3. Over 200 students are expected to attend the convention, representing Howard, University of Alabama, Judson, Montevallo, Troy, Jacksonville, Huntingdon, and the Baptist School at Eldridge. Davis Cooper, Jr., Director of the Baptist State Department of Education and Training, and Henry Allen Parker, President of the State Student Convention, are in charge of the affair. Miss Rubye Long, President of the Auburn Baptist Student Union; Earnest Thornhill, Student Sunday School Superintendent; Davis C. Woolley, new Student Secretary, and Professor O. T. Ivey, are in charge of local arrangements. The keynote of the convention is: "Sharing Christ With a Waiting World." Another mammoth send-off for Coach Jack Meagher's high stepping Tigers is planned for tomorrow night at 7:00 by Head Cheerleader Bill Mc- Tyiere and his assistants when the team again heads for Louisiana for their encounter with L. S. U., one of the other leading contenders for the championship of the Southeastern Conference. Following the usual procedure, the band will form in front of Langdon Hall and lead a parade of students and Auburn supporters through the business section of the town to the depot. McTyiere, together with Lee, O'Donnell, and Adams, will lead the crowd in many inspiring yells and the band will play until the train is out of sight. Coach Meagher has remarked that these enthusiastic send-offs provide valuable encouragement to the team, and he is very pleased with this expression of confidence in the squad by the turn-outs at the station. The (Continued on page 4) The Auburn Interclub Council will sponsor the raising of $2,000 as the Auburn Community Welfare Fund beginning Monday, November 4, according to announcement of the Fund's general chairman, the Rev. Sam B. Hay. Purpose of the move is to concentrate all community charities into one fund in order to avoid the solicitation of funds for individual projects at various times during the year and to make for greater efficiency in attending to the local needs. Beginning November 4, one concentrated drive will be made, thereby avoiding separate drives and repeated appeals to individuals for funds at various times throughout the year. The $2,000 fund will include the following items: Hospitalization, $425; medicine, $50; transient relief, $25; Christmas relief fund, $150; lunches for underprivileged school children, $150; adequate equipment for health room at the Lee County School, $40; library improvement for the Lee County School (amount to be supplemented by State funds), $300; Boy Scouts, $300; Girl Scouts, $300; books for under privileged school children, $50; and miscellaneous and emergency fund, $210. In case of an over subscription, if the excess is not required by an emergency during the current year, the surplus will be applied to the following year, it was stated by officials. In such case of a carryover of receipts, the total amount required by the succeeding year will be reduced by that amount. Likewise, if the amount received for any one year is not required the balance will be carried forward and applied to the budget of the following year. Miss Bert Newton, city clerk, will serve as treasurer for the Community Welfare Fund. Details as to all receipts and expenditures will be published from time to time. Ted Fio Rito Leads Ballot By 247 Votes; Kyser, Heidt and Kemp Placing At Top VOTING IS CLOSE Social Committee Now Using Every Effort To Obtain One Of The Orchestras Chosen Licenses For Business Delinquent October 31 After next Thursday, October 31, all business licenses will be delinquent and offenders will have the usual 15 per cent penalty as well as $1.50 citation fee plus an additional six per cent interest penalty this year. A last warning has been issued by Probate Judge John Thomas Frazer. N O T I C E ! Photos for the military section of the annual will be taken all day Monday. Those with the rank of captain or above are asked to report any time during the day, wearing blouses and white shirts. Only this day will be reserved for the section, and all those failing to report will not be included in the section. N O T I C E ! The Plainsman wishes to thank Frank Jones and his co-workers, who last Friday made possible the special issue of the paper giving the full details of the Auburn-Duke football game. Active Year Is Planned By Glee Club As Over Thirty Join Group The unexpected good fortune of having 200 dollars voted to the Glee Club by the Student Executive Cabinet at its last meeting was gratefully received by Director Lawrence Bar-nett. "The club is determined to prove to the Cabinet and the student body that the money has been spent for. a good cause," added Barnett. Bi-weekly practices are being held by the club, and the director expects to begin section rehearsals soon. This will allow an hour for studying group parts and will also iron out the errors made by individuals in the sections. No definite plans have been made for the trip to be taken by the organization this year. It is hoped, however, that a tour can be made in December that will take the club to several towns in South Alabama, Columbus and, perhaps Montgomery. Elmer Jones, manager, is now corresponding with perspective sponsors for Glee Club programs in several towns and hopes to have some definite plans within a short time. W. Crossley, Opelika, president; E. Jones, Roanoke, business manager; and H. Campbell, Section, librarian. The complete roster of the club's 38 members lists the following members: G. Hubbard, R. Nettles, J. T. Atkinson, B. W. Brooks, and R. L. Schubert, Auburn; J. T. Edwards, L. W. Pierce, and J. C. Bedsole, Montgomery; W. Crossley, G. Maulsby, and H. M. Renfro, Opelika; W. C. Moore, G. Hairston, S. Teague, and C. N. Wood, Birmingham; S. Scarborough, C. Scarborough, and J. W. Kirkland, Dothan; E. Jones, and F. B. Mullendore, Roanoke. W. Benefield, Speigner; J. Couch, Troy; A. G. Blakeney, Livingston; R. W. Ogletree, Annislton; J. W. Dunning, Thomasville; W. O. Green, Brewton; F. T. James, Uniontown; J. Hubbard, Dadeville; J. Gunn, Calera; J. G. Eubanks, Tallassee; G. L. Bil-bro, Alabama City; C. F. Beckert, Gadsden; J. Dunn, Daviston; H. M. Cox, Mobile; T. W. Jester, Camp Hill; G. Perry, Cuthbert, Ga.; H. A total of 1523 ballots were cast by students in the orchestra poll for the mid-term dance set sponsored for the first time this year by the Social Committee. Final count revealed that Ted Fio Rito led all others by a count of 247 votes. Fio Rito was closely followed by Kay Kyser with 233 votes. Other orchestras in the first four included:. Horace Heidt, 218, and Hal Kemp, 207. Throughout the balloting Fio Rito proved a steady favorite of the students, with Heidt making the most rapid climb to third place. The Social Committee is making every effort to obtain one of the above four named orchestras to play •for the Junior Hop. C. Witty Walter, chairman of the committee, announced that the orchestra selected would probably be announced in the very near future. Plans are underway to make the dance set this year one of the largest ever held in Auburn. The dance will begin Thursday afternoon, January 23, and continue through the following Saturday. Mid-term exams end that Thursday afternoon, and there will be no classes from then until the following Monday. Decoration bids will be called for and the contract awarded at an early date in order that more time may be spent on the decorations this year. Already many groups on the campus have either already bought dances or are planning to do so. They include Scabbard and Blade, Eta Kappa Nu, Blue Key and many others. Ted Fio Rito is well known, having gained considerable popularity in his broadcasts from the Pacific Coast and appearance in numerous movie shorts. Kay Kyser, "the genial gentleman of the South," gained wide popularity at Auburn when he played here for the mid-term dances last year. Judging by the number of votes he received in the orchestra poll, there are a number of students on the campus who are in favor of his playing for the same dances this year. Horace Heidt can be heard nightly-over WGN, and during the past year he and his 30-piece band has gained a large following throughout the country. Many consider this band to be the ideal one for a college dance (Continued on page 4) Relations Group Has Initiation Of Members The International Relations Club held the formal initiation ceremony for nine new members last night, in their regular weekly meeting. The purpose of the initiation was to acquaint the new members with the purpose of the club. President M. H. Conner, Professor O. T. Ivey, and Secretary J. P.

Let's Laugh A Bit It is an undeniable fact that humor in its numerous forms play an important role in the life of the average individual. It is almost impossible to imagine a person wholly devoid of humor. Even one marked by society as a perpetual grouch has within him some traces of humor. People, whether they realize it or not, are continually in search of something to laugh about, some little incident that will make them roar with laughter. A good laugh is a most wonderful tonic for any ill. It is guaranteed to cure all forms of grouch, ill temper, worry and any other similar ailment that tends to take away from the enjoyment of life. A good laugh, like a chalice of Burgundy wine, will make the eyes sparkle and glisten like an early morning dew drop. All cares are forgotten. Every generation produces at least one or two or even more individuals who have that rare ability to find humor in the cora-monplace. Mark Twain had that ability and so did the late Will Rogers. As a rare gem is often found in the mud or in the least promising places, so in the seemingly dull and uninteresting goings and comings of so many people from day to day is the source from which the humorist finds his endless supply of witty remarks and wisecracks. Pure humor is simple. It carries no malice. It hurts nobody; neither is it low or debased. But above all it is simple. It is so simple, in fact, that we overlook it in our rushing about. Humor can be found at any time and at any place, if we could but only take time to find it. We shouldn't have to spend two hours in a movie house to find it when it can be found anywhere just for the looking and at no more cost than a cool drink from a mountain spring. "Too Fast" Last night a selected audience witnessed a showing by the Auburn Players of Noel Coward's "Private Lives." No college students were invited to this affair; only a selected few of about fifty or so attended upon special invitation by the director of the Players. Although the play was cut considerably, it was of sufficient length to give one a good idea of the story. Described as a bit "risque" and as only for those who "like to know the facts of life," it was considered as too "fast" for the students, though it was assured that "nobody's morals would be corrupted." And so no students saw the play. Considering the state of the morals of the students, it is difficult to see what effect, if any, the showing of "Private Lives" could possibly have had. Surely, such a play could not corrupt anybody's morals, unless it be a child's, and they are not expected to understand such a play, anyway. If the average college student's morals are not already "corrupted" to that state, something has been lacking in his or her education. The real reason for excluding students from the play last night, we believe, lies in the feeling by the producer that the students would not appreciate its true worth. It was no doubt thought that the students would witness the play somewhat in the same manner in which they would watch the performance of the "hootchi kootchies" in a two-bit side show. In other words, they wouldn't know how to take such lines in the play described as a bit "risque." This is probably so, as observation will show in more than one instance that the average college student at Auburn has not yet learned to appreciate the art in the type of play that was given last night. Letters to the Editor Ed. Note: The following letter was written in response to an item appearing in John Temple • Graves' column, "This Morning," in the Birmingham Age-Herald, severely criticising the manner in which the Auburn stands receiyed the announcement of the score of the Alabama-Mississippi State game: Mr. John Temple Graves, II, Birmingham Age-Herald, Birmingham, Ala. Dear Sir: As a daily reader of your column I have always been impressed with your fairness in regard to the natural rivalry between Auburn and the University of Alabama. It was, therefore, with some disappointment that I read your column of October 24, noting your comment on the manner in which the Auburn stands at the Tennessee game received the announcement of the score of the Alabama-Mississippi State game. In saying that Auburn "applauded wildly," there is a slight chance that you may have been mistaken to a certain degree as to the nature of the outburst. Although admitting that there was some applause, I, being seated in about the center of the Auburn cheering section, was inclined to believe that much of the outburst which you chose to interpret as cheering may have been caused as much by surprise as by elation, since the outcome was so totally unexpected. Granted, however, that the outbreak was due entirely to joy on hearing of the impending defeat of an arch rival, I believe that had you been aware of the following facts at the time of writing your column, your statements would have been altered to a considerable extent. You probably did not know that on every occasion in which Alabama has been to Rose Bowl, the Auburn Alumni Association has sent indications of support conducive to good will; you probably were not listening to the radio last year when Bing Crosby announced that acceptances from Auburn men were among the first received to his famous wager on the Stanford team; you probably did not know that a delegation of Auburn alumni were among those meeting the Alabama team when they arrived in Washington this year to play George Washington University. But had you not been aware of any of these facts and been at the Auburn-Kentucky game in Montgomery to hear the roar of approval and applause which followed the announcement «f Tennessee's rout by Alabama, this alone would have shown you the error in the opinion received at the Auburn-Tennessee game. In conclusion I would like to state that this letter was not written with any feeling of ill-will, but solely to place in your possession certain facts which, among many others express the true regard in which Auburn holds her sister institution. Respectfully yours, ALVIN MORLAND. Editor the Plainsman: Auburn, Ala. A statement was made in the last issue of the Plainsman referring to a girl wearing green pajamas on a date. Since this statement has caused some misunderstanding, we wish to say that the girl referred to does not date in pajamas. It is true, however, that she was dressed in lounging (not sleeping) pajamas, studying for a quiz at a time she had an unexpected caller. Without changing her attire, she went to the bottom of the stairs to tell her caller that she was too busy to date. Not so bad after all. So let's all conform to the slogan: "There is so much good in the worst of us and so much bad in the best of us, that it behooves all of us not to talk about the rest of us." FRIENDS. The game of Lawn Bowls, one of the oldest as well as one of the simplest of out-of-door games, is finding increased popularity in American colleges. Several schools now include it on their co-ed athletic programs. John Germ is interested in bacteriology. He's written Ohio State University for information relative to a course in that subject. Upward of 18,000 people are playing basketball throughout the United States.

Correspondent Birmingham, Ala.—In a week or so this column will carry a Washington dateline again, and concern itself once more with bureaus and officeholders, programs and the people behind them, but in the interim, while moving about the South, I am .relaxing enough to permit myself the pleasure of doing a piece now and then about stray subjects. The stray subject this time is the football game I saw played here yesterday, between Auburn and the University of Tennessee, the first southern game I have ever witnessed. It was an excellent game, but never mind that. What interests me is that the events of the afternoon did not come up to expectations. I expected entirely different behaviour on the part of the fans. Having seen a number of games in the north, played between southern and northern teams, at which seventeen southern rooters, a tiny little patch in a mass of home team supporters, usually outyelled all the rooters for the home team, having met in my time a great many high spirited southern gentlemen, the most fragile of whom at any sort of athletic contest could drown out a calliope. I was frankly disappointed by the sustained periods of silence and by the mild bursts of cheering that came from the stands during the game. Partisanship, I had thought previously, must be even more pronounced at southern games than northern ones. I Have heard alumni of southern colleges talk about games played in the dim past, great historic games that they attended. And they spoke of them in tense manner, with a repressed fervor that brought back faint echoes of mighty cheers that rolled out from the stands when Bancroft Bogie, of the 'Bama Bogies, tore off a 70-yard run only to be brought down at last on the five-yard line by a peanut vendor, who later turned out to be Buell Bogie, of the Arkansas Bogies, own kin but lifelong enemies of the 'Bama Bogies. Somehow, I thought, when southern rooters cheered their men on in some uncanny fashion they got a warlike note into their cheers, a blare as of bugles. At such a moment, I thought, if you shut your eyes you might easily be fooled into thinking it was the cheer that rose up from Pickett's men when they swept forward toward the Union lines at Gettysburg. But, if the Auburn-Tennessee game is a fair sample, it is not like that at all. For two and a half hours I failed to hear a solitary rebel yell. No one got up and let out so much as a single, irrelevant, piercing "Ya-hoooo!" People sat around the dew falls on honeysuckle and the moon falls on both . . they glitter, smell sweet; they are beautiful, but not near so much as you. BUT . . the honeysuckle doesn't glitter with a "Gad, ain't I a humdinger" prettiness twenty-four hours a day, and that is the secret of the prettiness of the honeysuckle. * * * * It would behoove the best of us to look forward to the day when the old hen don't lay no more, and the milk has turned sour. * * * * Blackmail is better than no mail at all. and looked properly mournful, as Tennessee made large decisive gains and collected two touchdowns inside of five minutes. And partisanship, bitter partisanship, was at a low ebb. Directly in back of me sat two Auburn fans, one drunk and the other sober. Next to them sat two Tennessee rooters, and here, too, one of them was drunk and the other sober. Did they call the referee a robber and a buzzard when he made a decision adverse to their team? They did not. They pointed out to the opposing rooters the excellence of the referee's eyesight and the fine calibre of his judgment. The Auburn two held their.heads in their hands gloomily, and freely admitted to the Tennesseans that Tennessee was the superior team. The Tennessee supporters denied it stoutly and took pains to explain that their team had had the breaks and that was all there was to it. The place reeked of good sportsmanship. The Auburn men began to applaud politely for Tennessee whenever their team put a difficult play over successfully. The Tennesseans began to look embarrassed and unhappy whenever their players broke through Auburn's line, as if fearful that such behav-ious on the part of their team would break up what looked like the beginning of a beautiful friendship among the four of them in the stands. In front of me there was an interesting example of optimism at war with pessimism, of faith struggling with reality, in the person of an Auburn rooter who was one of the few who ever raised his voice independently to spur his team on. "Hold 'em, Auburn!" he would yell, when Auburn was losing ground. And sotto voce he would add gloomily, "To ten touchdowns." "Watch 'em make them first downs," he cried at another point. And sotto voce, "If they don't drop the ball." "Let's make a slight touchdown, Auburn," he bellowed toward the end of the game. "And Tennessee will make three of 'em," he mumbled unhappily. There were only two fistfights in the stands during the game. This is far fewer than one finds starting during the course of games in the north and the Middle West. Moreover, no inebriate appeared . before the stands between halves, as is customary in other sections of the country during football games, and offered to lead cheers for the crowd or to buy drinks for all the Smiths present. I am glad to say, however, that several times during the game someone announced over the stadium sound amplifier that a Mr. O'Toole was wanted at Gate One. Usually it is a Mr. Chopclowsky that is wanted, but at the Auburn game Mr. O'Toole was in demand. They called for him several times, and either they found him or they gave it up as a bad job, because finally they stopped asking for him. Even when Mr. O'Toole was being summoned from whatever hiding place he was sulking in, the crowd showed a lack of spirit. Not a single waggish remark was made about Mr. O'Toole, about his wife or the G-Men wanting him. Yes, the crowd de.finitely lacked color. ROUND AND ROUND By Floyd Hurt EDITOR'S NOTE: The opinions expressed in this column are not necessarily the editorial opinions of this paper. It is a column of personal comment, and is not to be read as an expression of our . editorial policy. AUBURN through the last several years has been quite financially embarrassed and unable to replace worn equipment and purchase new. She has also been unable at times to meet her obligations to the faculty. But in spite of this she has continued to increase the number of gift educations to students whose parents contribute nothing to the taxes on which Auburn is dependent for support. According to figures given in the Plainsman of October 23, there are now enrolled here at Auburn 401 students from out of the state. Based on figures given by the authorities, it costs $300 to send one student to Auburn for a year. With the total enrollment of 2,171 students the total cost will be $651,300 for this year. Of this amount resident students will contribute $115,050, with their $32.50 each semester. The out-of-stato students pay $46,115 or $32.50 and $25 each semester. Aside from the amount paid by the latter there is left to the Alabama taxpayer a total of $74,185 to be paid for the education of men and women from other states. This number is rapidly increasing each year and the burden is becoming heavier and heavier on the Alabama taxpayer and is also preventing Auburn from making needed improvements for Alabama students. This is not to.be taken as a complaint against out-of-state students. It is merely the presentation of a fact of which the college should take notice. There is a very simple remedy. Many other states have recognized the unfairness of a system such as ours and have remedied it with a lift in the out-of-state fees. Should this fee here at Auburn be raised from $25 to $125 a semester there would be no complaint as to the expenditure of the taxpayer's money. This method of charging such a fee should have one reservation, however. Due to the number of students from states bordering Alabama and likewise to the number of Alabama men and women attending schools of these bordering states there might be arranged a reciprocal agreement between the state institutions. The present out-of-state fee might be retained for Tennessee, Mississippi, Florida and Georgia students with the understanding between Alabama's state institutions that we might have the same preference in their institutions. There would be a cost to the Alabama taxpayers even here but costs would balance in a number of years. It is doubtless that out-of-state students are a good advertisement for a school. It is a help to have the name of an institution carried throughout the country and even into foreign countries by its graduates. But until the educational facilities of the school itself are increased and until the accommodations for an increase in the number of students is made, such advertising is bound to hinder rather than help. The necessity of state institutions of higher learning was recognized a number of years ago as the best method of insuiv ing to the children of the average taxpayer a college education. Due to this method of insuring such education, state colleges and universities have become a vital part of all state educational structures. But care must be taken not to defeat their fundamental purpose: the education of the young men and women of the state. * * * * it Auburn is beginning to step out with her 1935-36 edition of rain and dismal weath,er. When it begins is the time to look back over a month or so of sunshine. One of the noticeable results uf an elongated dry spell is the big crop of mosquitoes. They are bad enough on clear nights when the moon is shining and you can get up and walk off and leave them. But these rainy nights when along with the fuss of the rain on the roof there comes the hum-hum of a thousand strong making a noise similar to a couple of freight trains at 60, they slip up on you and take a nice size piece of ear before you have even had a chance to bury your head beneath a pillow. They have no feeling at all. If you resist because of the natural resentment against a disturbed sleep they get mean and pull the cover off. What is the need of saying Flit to them. If you lock yourself up in the room with the mosquitoes and Flit the animals get really tough and pull you out of bed. There is need of cold weather. What a pleasure it would be to see the wingless thieves shivvering and Hoping over on then-back. Free! A good night's sleep— thanks to the cold weather. But there arises another problem. Who got the extra cover you had put away for just such a snap as this. Shiver, shiver and then up to build a fire. Another night's sleep gone. Is there no relief?

Bondurant, graduates of the class of '35, are now located in the Miami and Jacksonville, Florida branches of the Firestone Tire and Rubber Company, after finishing a six months course of training with the company. Fenton and Bondurant were picked for the course last spring by a visiting representative of the company, and from here they left immediately for the training headquarters. At the completion of the course, October 15, the two men were asked where they desired to locate. Both chose Florida. According to Dean J. W. Scott of the School of Business Administration this occurs quite frequently with the graduates that are picked by the various companies for training courses or jobs. "The demand for good men in the field of business is by far greater than the supply. To date we have two letters from companies asking that we recommend men for jobs. The one thing that the letters stress is that the men be above the average. So much does the General Motors Corporation stress this, the letter mentions this qualification five times in one paragraph.

Weekly Teas Will Be Given By Group Here The Women's Student Government will begin its weekly teas this afternoon. Since women students have little opportunity to be associated as a whole, it is the purpose of these informal teas to allow them to be together more. Last year these teas proved to be quite successful and enjoyable with a large number of the women students attending them. It is hoped this year that more of the girls will become regular Wednesday afternoon visitors at Smith Hall between the hours of four and five thirty. Miss Barrymore Will Appear In Play Soon Many Auburn people will be interested in' seeing Miss Ethel Barry-more in her performance at Montgomery on November 4. She will play in Somerset Maugham's comedy hit, "The Constant Wife" at Lanier Auditorium. Miss Barrymore criticizes the American theater from two standpoints. She says that few players know how to listen and pay attention to the speeches of other characters in the play. Also, she thinks that few actors know how to speak English—too much slurring or swallowing of words is the cause for this. Seats may be bought at French's, Inc., Saturday, November 2.

Wilson Turner, of Atlanta, and C. L. Daily and W. L. Daily, of near Atlanta, each was fined $50 and sentenced to 10 days of hard labor. It was found that the tickets were not counterfeit, as was first believed. They were printed in Atlanta at the same printing office that prints the official tickets. It is not known how the tickets were obtained, but an investigation is being made. The racket was discovered when there was reported confusion in the seat numbers of the stadium. The false tickets were like the official tickets except that they were not stamped "general admission." Dr. Duncan Attends Monroeville Meet Dr. L. N. Duncan, President of A. P.

Corn Harvested From Demonstration Plots Of Local High F.F.A. Alabama Soil Erosion Control Studied Here LOST—A silver link bracelet with Naval Academy seal. Please return to Eloise Brown. 253 S. Gay St. The corn demonstrations sponsored by the Auburn High F. F. A. Chapter in cooperation with the Chilean Nitrate Educational Bureau have been harvested and the corn weighed by the officers of the local chapter. On the demonstration conducted by Eddy Jones, the two acres side dressed with 200 lbs. of Chilean Nitrate of Soda per acre produced 48.4 bushels or an average of 24.2 bushels per acre, the one-half acre without nitrate produced 3.9 bushels or an auverage of 7.8 bushels per acre. The demonstration conducted by Woodrow Rowell produced 38 bushels per acre on the area side-dressed with 200 lbs. of nitrate of soda per acre and 9.6 bushels where no nitrogen was used. The average results of these two demonstrations show that an application of 200 lbs. of nitrate of soda increases the yield of corn 22.3 bushels per acre. The corn was weighed by the officers of the local chapter: Allen Turner, president; Chas. Isbell, vice-president; Jim Flanigan, secretary; Donald Cottier, treasurer and Harold Smyer, reporter. To make a thorough study of the soil erosion control program being carried out in Alabama, four residents of Louisiana visited the Experiment Station here and the Tallapoosa County soil erosion project- The Louisiana party was composed of H.

Many of these men passed into obscurity as new stars rose from the ranks of the unknowns to the dizzy heights of public acclaim. It is for the purpose of bringing those ex-stars back into the limelight that All-Time Grid Teams are selected. George Trevor in the Birmingham News selects the following men as being worthy of a place on the All- Time Grid Team of Auburn: Centers: John (Boozer) Pitts, '14; Noah Caton, '21. Guards: Henry Chambless, '33; J. H. (Big) Thigpen, '14; "Tubby" Lockwood, '14; J. D. (Fats) Lawrence, '24. Tackles: Peter Bonner, '23; "Noisy" Grisham, '24; Frederick McCollum, '33; "Sheep" Lamb, '14. Ends: "Robbie" Robinson, '13; David Airail, ' '33; "Bennie" Fenton, '34; Porter Grant, '32. Quarters: Kirk Newell, '13; Paul (Bedie) Bidez, '13. Backs: James Hitchcock, '32; John Shirey, '22; "Moon" Ducote, '16; Edward Shirling, '22; Willis Phipps, '33; "Lew" Hardage, '08. Of the above group, some have drifted into business, some into teaching, and some into coaching. Those whose activities are known are: John (Boozer) Pitts, one of Auburn's greatest centers, is now a mathematics professor in his alma mater. "Moon" Ducote, the best all-around back ever to tote a pigskin on a Tiger eleven, now coaches at Loyola, New Orleans. Jimmy Hitchcock, All-American halfback in 1932, divides his time assisting Coach Meagher in developing Auburn elevens and playing baseball with the Newark Bears. "Boots" Chambless, who was second to none in coming out of his guard position to block for the backs, now teaches Tiger linesman how it is done. "Fats" Lawrence, man mountain, is now employed by Hercules Power Company. Fred McCollum, of play-diagnosing fame, is also a member of the Orange and Blue coaching staff. "Robbie" Robinson, who was an expert at boxing the tackles, is now a captain in the United States army. Paul Bidez, a really smart quarterback, now experiments with steel in the State Chemistry Laboratory, better known to us as the Ross Chemical Building. As a sideline to his chemistry, Mr. Bidez leads the famous Auburn Band. Rainy Day Schedule Is Published Again In order to refresh the memory of R. O. T. C. students concerning where they meet in case of a rainy day schedule being in force, the following regulations are reprinted: All Sophomores will meet in Lang-don Hall, Juniors in the Ross Chemical Lab. and Seniors also in the chemical lab. All freshman of the 1st Bn., 1st F. A., will meet in 213 Broun; 2nd Bn., 1st F. A., in Lang-don Hall; 1st Bn., 2nd F. A., in 304 Broun; and 2nd Bn., 2nd F. A., in 217 Broun.

He will assist in clinics and teach classes in anatomy. Doctor Woolf came to Auburn from Baldwin county as a student. After graduation in veterinary medicine he worked for the City of Mobile as a meat and milk inspector from 1910 to 1921. For the next four years he was veterinary superintendent at Vadco Farms near Mobile; and from 1925 to 1935 he was veterinarian for the State Convict Department in Montgomery. Doctor Woolf is a member of the American Veterinary Medical Association, Alabama Veterinary Medical Association, and of the Southern States Veterinary Medical Association.

A number of pictures taken by Dr. Scarseth were used as illustrations in the discussion of his travels and of native life in the tropics. In pointing out the fact that banana raising is the largest agricultural industry in the countries in which he worked, Dr. Scarseth discussed methods of swamp drainage*, planting, harvesting, transportation, and shipment of bananas. Collegiate Review By A. C. P. Harvard authorities have dismissed as highly improbable press reports concerning a new and deadly weapon reported recently invented by Guglielmo Marconi, inventor of wireless telegraphy. The device is said to be able to stop internal combustion engines from a considerable distance. The first college cheer is credited to Princeton students, who got the idea from an unknown private of the Seventh Regiment of New York, as the outfit mobilized for war in April, 1860. With half the proceeds going to the "Cripple Children Fund," the Auburn Hi Tigers will engage the Camp Hill Eleven in Auburn Friday afternoon. In the past there has been some trouble in taking care of the large crowds, but with, the permission of the College Athletic Department, Drake Field will be used. The different clubs of Auburn are helping to make the sale of tickets the largest ever for a high school game. The Auburn Hi Tigers have improved greatly in their last two tilts, winning from Union Springs and Fairfax by impressive scores. Hampered all season by injuries and the lack of reserves, the locals have had much trouble in finding their stride, but without further injuries this wee.k they should be in excellent shape for the game Friday. Although expecting a hard game, Coach Fowler hopes to show the local fans a team that will compare favorably with last season's undefeated eleven. The game is called for 3:00 and the admission will be 15 and 25 cents. Two Indiana campus sweethearts of the 90's have found a last resting place near a historic old sun dial on the grounds of the Greencastle institution. Their ashes were scattered in that place by their son. PEP MEETING TO BE STAGED HERE THURSDAY NIGHT (Continued from page 1) gathering of a large portion of the student body at the depot furnishes an excellent aid to the morale of the Tigers, according to Coach Meagher, and it is his express desire that this practice be continued on the same scale as in the past. Plans for the annual "Wreck Tech" parade and mass meeting scheduled for next week preceding the game with Georgia Tech in Atlanta are already being laid by Mc- Tyiere and his corps of assistants. A pajama parade and snake dance will be featured along with speeches by members of the team and coaching staff. OVER 1,500 BALLOTS CAST IN ORCHESTRA POLL HERE LAST WEEK (Continued from page 1) set.

Football's longest run from scrimmage was made by Wyllys Terry, of Yale, against Wesleyan, November 4, 1884. Terry ran 115 yards for a touchdown, starting from five yards behind his own goal line. The feat could not be duplicated today. It has been impossible since 1912, when the old 100-yard field was shortened to the present 100-yard length. Dr. A. S. Pearse, Duke University zoologist, is making a special study of oyster diseases and their prevention. The work is being financed by the government. Russian medical students are classed as workers and are paid 100 rubles a month by the government. Dr. Joseph Remenyi, lecturer in comparative literature at Cleveland College, is completing his latest book, "Series of American Literary Portraits of Nineteenth Century American Writers." The book is written in Hungarian and will be published in Budapest. The University of Minnesota has its own newsreel theater. Lampoon, Harvard publication, is the oldest college humor magazine in America. The University of Vermont has distributed a booklet on etiquette to the male contingent on the campus. Twenty-one Backnell University women are listed in the newly-published American Women official "Who's Who" mong the women of the nation. College students, notoriously hard drivers, are having a little caution instilled these days. The sensational Reader's Digest article "—And Sudden Death," which deals realistically with the horror of automobile crashes, is being widely reprinted in the collegiate press. In a single year, the central earthquake reporting bureau at Oxford University reported 7000 temblors, of varying severity, occurring in all quarters of the globe. High Cost Of Living Discussed by Hoover New York—(ACP)—The present United States national policies, especially in fiscal and currency problems, have brought an increase in the cost of living and at the same time are depreciating the purchasing power of the income from trustee securities, such as make up the endowments of universities, former President Herbert Hoover charged in a recent -address here. Speaking at a dinner of alumni of Leland Stanford Junior University, Mr. Hoover said that if the theoretical devaluation of the dollar by 41 per cent should be realized in actual effect, then the nine billion dollar property and endowments of universities, colleges, hospitals, public libraries and other welfare institutions would be devalued to the same extent. Full Time Secretary Now Had By BSU Here Auburn is the first school in Alabama to have a full time Baptist Student Secretary. Through the cooperation of the church and the continual efforts of the Baptist Student Union for many years, this achievement has been accomplished, and Mr. Davis C. Woolley is the man secured for the position. Mr. Woolley is well qualified for this job as he has prepared himself for student work and has worked with students before. He received his A.B. degree from Howard College in 1930. While at Howard he was actively engaged in student activities, being editor of the Howard Crimson, editor of the freshman handbook, and president of Howard's B. S. U. He received his master's degree in Theology from the Southern Baptist Theological Seminary, Louisville, Kentucky, in 1933. Since receiving his master's degree, Mr. Woolley has been pastor of two churches in Henderson, Kentucky; however, he is a native Alabamian.

The contract specifies a street and concrete bridge, and with the concrete paving to be made, the total length will be nearly half a mile. The State Highway Department reported that the Couch Construction Company in Dothan was the low bidder at $139,882.66. This overpass is over the tracks crossing the Auburn-Opelika highway immediately this side of Opelika. Bullard Field Closed Until Further Notice The Military Department requests that fraternities and students refrain from using the parade grounds (Bullard Field) for touch football practice until further notice. Winter grass has been sown upon this field and it is desired to give it an opportunity to grow. Another notice will be published as soon as it is felt that play thereon can be resumed without undue damage to the growth of this winter grass. Football Rates Second To Frosh At Princeton Princeton, N. J.—(ACP)—For the first time in the history of Princeton, more freshmen are interested in rowing than in football. A check of the class of 1939 showed 112 freshmen out for crew while 91 football aspirants reported for practice. Last year football attracted 90 men and crew only 73. Prospects for both freshman crew and football are excellent. Announcement of the discovery of a red-tailed hawk new to science was made at Cornell University recently by Dr. George M. Sutton, curator of birds at the university. Questionnaire Causes Comment On Campus Philadelphia, Pa.—ACP)—A questionnaire skirmish recently embroiled men and women on the University of Pennsylvania campus. The Daily Pennsylvanian started it by asking the men whether they preferred pretty girls or smart ones, slinky or fluffy evening dresses, and other questions of importance in higher education. The girls countered with a questionnaire for women students which began: "Do you like intelligent men or the typical college boy?"

Within the short period of its activity, the Auburn chapter with its 60 members has progressed rapidly and now stands as a model for F. F. A. organizations. These Future Farmers groups were formerly organized only in high schools. Only within the last few years have they been,introduced into colleges. This step was taken in order that the agricultural education graduate, who has charge of this club work in the community where he is teaching, will be prepared to assume the duties "as leader. Since this is a comparatively new group on the campus here and has been publicized very little, Mr. P. C. Brook, assistant supervisor of vocational Agriculture and assistant advisor for State F. F. A. chapters, has pointed out some important facts concerning local, state, and national F. F. A. units. The Future Farmers of America is the national organization of farm students studying vocational agriculture in the public high schools and students taking agricultural education in colleges throughout the country. Seven years following its founding at Kansas City, Missouri, in 1928, 47 states, including Hawaii, and Puerto Rico had formed 3,500 chapters with a total membership of over 100,000. This organization was found to promote leadership and as a means of furnishing social contacts for the rural boys. The local F. F. A. group plans its program in line with the state activity work. The states, in turn, base their programs on the subject matter taken up by the national organization. Community clubs send delegates to the state conventions where various problems are discussed and officers elected. Alabama state meetings are held in Auburn each summer. State delegates are sent to national conventions each year. Recently each state has formed districts composed of a number of local units, which tend to bring the state and community organizations closer together. N O T I C E !
