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 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

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.

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

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.

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:

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

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."

On Sunday's show: Tne bride and groom
were not married in front of the village
church. She was dressed in some silly
sack-like garment, the like of which these
females will insist on wearing. The so-called
groom had on pants and boots; he
would have looked funny wearing a dress,
too, you know. 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.
The groom held a responsible position
chasing rats down a dugout with a tin hat
on, and the bride spent her leisure time,
while the rats were chasing each other,
jumping . . . or almost jumping hosses over
hedges, accompanied by the silly yapping
of a bunch of flea hounds.

AROUND WASHINGTON
By ARNOLD SERWER, A. C. P. 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

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.

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?

Bogus Ticket Passers
Nabbed In Montgomery
Three of the men arrested on the
afternoon of the Auburn-Kentucky
football game for the selling of bogus
tickets have been fined and sen­tenced.
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."

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

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.

ALL-TIME GRID STARS NAMED
ON MYTHICAL AUBURN ELEVEN
George Trevor For The Birmingham News Selects Twenty-Two
Men As Worthy Of Place On All-Time Grid Team Of
Auburn; Three Of Those Named Are Assistant Coaches
Since Auburn's advent into the
football world, many outstanding
players have starred under the Tiger
banner. 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

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.

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

Football's longest run from scrim­mage

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.

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.

Latest News Events
The local unit of the Future Farm­ers
of America, formed here last
year, is one of the few successful
college chapters found over the
country. 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.
