Fifteen Juniors In Engineering
Receive Honor At Recent
Election Of National Society
BANQUET BE GIVEN
New Elected Men Will Be
Initiated In Near Future; Is
Highest Engineering Honor
Fifteen outstanding juniors in en­gineering
were recently elected to
membership in Tau Beta Pi, national
honorary engineering fraternity.
Those selected are: Electrical En­gineering—
N. T. Hiestand, Fairhope;
L. C. Balch, Fayette; Baker Dean,
Opelika; Howard Davis, Orlando,
Fla.; Chemical Engineering — Fred
Barrett, Montgomery; Dan Duncan,
Russellville; J. O. Ullman, Natchez,
Miss.; W. L. Stafford, Florence; Me­chanical
Engineering—J. E. Landley,
Camp Hill; F. H. Richter, Savannah,
Ga.; Walter Schuster, Birmingham;
W. W. Vaughan, Geneva; Aeronau­tical
Engineering—Mark Nichols, Au­burn;
C. H. Booth, Anniston; Civil
Engineering—R. E. Strickland.
All of the fifteen pledges have at­tained
a high scholastic average dur­ing
their first three years at Auburn
and have been more or less outstand­ing
in their respective classes. In­itiation
of the newly elected men will
be held in the near future, probably
within the next three weeks. Also,
the annual initiation banquet will be
given the pledges within the next sev­eral
weeks.
Tau Beta Pi is a national organiza­tion
formed for the purpose of mark­ing
in a fitting manner those students
who have conferred honor upon their
Alma Mater and to foster a spirit of
liberal culture in the engineering
schools of the country. Alpha chap­ter
of Alabama was established here
in May, 1920.
The local chapter holds two elec­tions
each year. Those men elected in
the spring are from the upper one-eighth
of the junior class. Next fall
those students ranking in the upper
one-fourth of their class will be eli­gible
for election.
President Of Seminary
To Speak Here Sunday
The Rev. J. McDowell Richards, D.
D., president of the Columbia Theo­logical
Seminary, will occupy the pul­pit
of the Presbyterian Church at
both the morning and evening services
next Sunday.
Dr. Richards is first honor graduate
of Davidson College. After leaving
Davidson he took a masters degree in
English at Princeton University, later
winning a Rhodes Scholarship from
the State of North Carolina and as
such spent three years in study at
Oxford University, England. Dr.
Richards has also traveled extensively
throughout Europe, the Near East and
the Holy Land. After his return
from Europe he entered Columbia
Seminary, from which institution he
received the degree of Bachelor of Di­vinity.
Later he was honored by be­ing
elected president of the Sem­inary.
English Department
Has New Secretary
Miss Louise Bass of Opelika has
been appointed stenographer for the
English department, succeeding Miss
Ollie Harris who has accepted a po­sition
with the Tennessee Valley Au­thority
with headquarters at Knox-ville.
'A' DAY CELEBRATION WILL
BE STAGED HERE MARCH 25
Several Campus Groups Now Making Plans For Staging Of
Gala Program In Celebration Of Auburn's Annual "A"
Day; Fraternities Hold Track Meet; Polo, Baseball Planned
Wednesday, March 25, has been set as the day when all students will
lay down their books and forget studying for a time to participate in the
celebration of Auburn's annual "A" Day.
Many events are being planned from early in the day to end with an
"A" Club dance in the evening. Fraternities will start the celebration
with a field meet on. Drake Field, to be following in the afternoon with
a baseball game, the first of the season, and a polo match.
Definite plans are now being laid
by several campus groups in an ef­fort
to make "A" Day this year a
mammoth affair in which as many
students as possible will take part.
Those groups cooperating include the
"A" Club, Interfraternity Council
and Spiked Shoe. Last year O.D.K.
took part in the celebration to the
extent of sponsoring the first senior
class banquet to be given in Auburn.
They are expected to sponsor the
same event this year, although they
have not announced definite plans.
Beginning at 9 o'clock Wednesday
morning all campus fraternities will
compete in the annual Interfrater­nity
track meet on Drake Field. A
silver loving cup will again be award­ed
to the fraternity with the highest
number of points in the meet.
Slips will be furnished each fra­ternity
early next week on which
they will give the names of those
who are going to patricipate, includ­ing
the event. They will be turned
in on or before March 23. No track
men are eligible to compete in the
meet.
Spiked Shoe members will act in
the capacity of officials for the track
meet.
At 2:30 o'clock that afternoon Au­burn
will play their first baseball
game of the year. According to the
present schedule Auburn will play
Troy Teachers College. A fast game
is expected to open the season for the
local hurlers.
Somewhat later in the afternoon
the Ohio State University Polo team
will be seen in action on Bullard
Field against the local polo squad.
Crowds of students and townspeople
are expected tor be oh hand either
watching the baseball game or the
polo match.
. The annual senior class banquet
will probably be given in Alumni
Gymnasium that evening at 6:30.
All seniors will be invited to attend
as guests of the college. An appro­priate
speaker will be obtained for
the occasion.
As a climax to the celebration the
"A" Club will be hosts at a dance
in the Gym. This dance is usually
conceded as the best of the college
year, as numerous visitors are in
Auburn for the "A" Day celebra­tions.
Encores Given Glee
Club At Appearance
By LEWIS THOMAS
The Auburn Glee Club gave a splen­did
performance before a large audi­ence
in Langdon Hall last night. The
group singing was excellent, and solos
of Gordon and Hubbard, baritone, and
Albion Knight, tenor, drew several en­cores.
A quartet composed of Benny Bene-field,
Walton Crossley, Elmer Jones
and Tom Jester creditably rendered
several selections. A touch of humor
was injected into the performance by
Willard Manry and Tom Jester when
they gave a short skit, "Stone Deaf."
Knight, George Hairston and Davis
Cox, composing a trio, gave several
novelty numbers.
Lawrence Barnett, director, said af­ter
the performance:
"I wish to express my sincere grati­tude
to the school, to the members,
and to Austin Coggin, accompanist.
Without their cooperation the glee
club would not have enjoyed near the
success that it has this year. We will
be even better next year."

SIGMA NU WINS
INTERFRAT CUP
IN TOURNAMENT
Strong Sigma Nu Five Downs
Theta Kappa Nu In Final
Tourney Game Wednesday
WERE CHAMPS IN 1933
Interfraternity Council Will
Present Trophy To Winners;
Game Is Called An Upset
By EUGENE LEE
Sigma Nu defeated Theta Kappa
Nu 36 to 27 in the finals of the iri-terfrat
basketball tournament in
Alumni gym Wednesday night to an­nex
the championship. The winners
had previously defeated Alpha Psi,
Alpha Gamma Rho, T. U. O. by for­feit,
to come through the race unde­feated
to win the cup.
Since their last basketball cham­pionship
team in 1933, the winners
have waged a grim battle each year
to return the crown to the Sigma Nu
lodge. Pi K. A., last year's cham­pions,
eliminated them in the semi­finals
of 1935's race.
Theta Kappa Nu's team had de­feated
Alpha Lambda Tau, Phi Delta
Theta, and Theta Chi to earn their
way to the finals.. Their bid for the
championship was waged as a dark
horse. From a poorly functioning
team at the start, it developed into
a quintet that gained in power as
each game passed.
The championship fray soon was
in the command of Sigma Nu, for
they ran up a 10 to 0 lead before The­ta
Kappa was able to score. Hoyt
Jolly passed to Frank Peace under the
goal for the first score. With Jolly
leading Sigma Nu's charge down the
court, he passed again to Peace for
the second marker. Bruce McGehee
dropped in a crip shot, and Billy
Hitchcock followed with another. Sig­ma
Nu received the tip off, and on a
fast play from center, Robert Turk
rushed under the goal to score.
Wallace scored a free try for Theta
Kappa Nu's first point. Turk crossed
the court and received a pass from
Gilmore Pugh under the goal to score.
Wallace followed with two points mak­ing
two points on two free throws.
Pugh sank a crip shot. Wallace re­taliated
with a long one from the side
of the court that didn't touch the rim,
and followed with another good one
from near the center. McGehee drop­ped
in a crip shot.
For the balance of the first half
Pugh and McGehee scored one goal
each, and Hitchcock scored two. Wood
scored one goal and a foul and Wal­lace
and Pack scored one goal apiece.

Polo Players Meet
In First Game
Saturday
Auburn polo players will test their
strength tomorrow afternoon on Bul­lard
Field at 3 o'clock when they
meet the 83 F. A. squard from Fort
Benning in the first encounter of the
season.
The Benning team is rated fairly
strong and will provide plenty of
competition for the locals in their
first game. Only one member of the
Benning team carries a three-goal
handicap; all the other four players
are rated at zero handicap.
The Auburn line-up will be select­ed
from the following men: B. N.
Ivey, Tom Bacon, Bob Chandler, Bill
Dexter, Paul Hicks, R. H. Hurd, John
Rush, and C. W. Walter. Ivey is the
most experienced man on the team
and will probably start tomorrow at
the Number 2 position.
All positions have not been defi­nitely
decided upon. Chandler, who
saw considerable service last year,
will probably open the game at Num­ber
1; Rush in reserve. Walter may
also get to play at this position.
Wither Hicks, Hurd, or Bacon may
receive the call at Number 3. All
are inexperienced in match play. Dex­ter,
a letterman of last year, will
probably start at the back position,
with the possibility that Hicks may
be switched to that position.
Reserves in the "A" squad who.
may see action, tomorrow include
Burton, Brauner, Chapman, Milam,
Clark, Hardie, and Worsham.
Admission for adults will be 25
cents; children under high school age,
i5c. Athletic books will be honored.

What can Auburn students do about
the situation which confronts not only
the colleges but education generally
throughout the state?
With this question in their minds
a group of eight students met late
last Wednesday afternoon to see what
could de done. For more than an hour
the problem was discussed. A num­ber
of plans were submitted, though
nothing definite was decided upon.
The group will meet again next week
to more fully discuss the plans sub­mitted
and at the same time outline
a definite plan of action.
In order to acquaint the students
here with the situation, a mimeo­graphed
form will be distributed soon
to every student. This form will be
drawn up next week and distributed
within the week following. The fact
that a number of students will be
away next week hampered the making
of more definite plans.
It was suggested at the meeting
that it might prove helpful for all
students in the college to write to
their parents and state clearly the
situation with the hope that the par­ents
would put added pressure to bear
upon the state legislators now in spe­cial
session.
The possibility of a state-wide
"march on Montgomery" by all stu­dents
in the state, from the grammar
schools up through the college, was
discussed. The entire group believed
that this plan would be effective and
were in favor of sponsoring such a
move in case that something is not
done within the near future. At any
rate, the need for immediate action
was understood bty all those present.
The session Wednesday was the
first one to be taken entirely upon
the initiative of the students.
Three members of the student body
(Continued on page 4)
Over 150 juniors and seniors will
leave Auburn over the week end on
their annual inspection tours. All
trips will officially end March 21.
The itinerary for all engineers is
fairly general with a few exceptions.
Headquarters for all engineering stu­dents
• will be the Hotel Morris in
Birmingham. Daily tours will be made
from this hotel to which the inspec­tion
parties will return each night.
Seniors in Chemical Engineering
will follow the itinerary for the oth­er,
engineers for the first three days;
then they will leave the main group
on Thursday for the TVA at Muscle
Shoals. Friday morning they will
visit the sulphuric acid manufactur­ing
plant at Wylam, Ala. Activities
for Friday afternoon are yet to be
arranged. The tour for chemicals
ends Friday night.
Seniors in Aeronautical Engineer­ing
will spend the entire week at the
U. S. Naval Air Station at Pensa-cola,
Fla. According to Lieut. Cor­nell,
head of the aero department,
the main purpose of this visit is for
the students to inspect the various
procedures employed in the lab here
put into practice at the air station.
An inspection tour for textile stu­dents
has not been arranged. Accord­ing
to E. W. Camp, head of the de­partment,
seniors in Textile Engin­eering
will probably go on a short trip
at a later date.
Approximately forty juniors in
Business Administration will spend a
week in and around Birmingham.
They will visit only two points vis­ited
by the engineers. The business
students will spend most of their time
in the inspection of banks, including
the Federal Reserve Branch Bank,
credit houses, stocks and bonds houses.
A parade in honor of Mrs. Becker,
of Summit, N. J., president general
of the National Society Daughters
of the American Revolution, will be
held on Bullard Field Saturday morn­ing
at 10 o'clock.
In the reviewing stand will be
three other national D. A. R. officers;
Mrs. William H. Pouch, New York
City; Mrs. Julius Talmadge, Athens,
Ga.; and Mrs. Zebulon Judd of Au­burn,
together with Mrs. Val Taylor,
Uniontown, State regent.
Representing the college in the re­viewing
stand will be Pres. L. N.
Duncan.
Following the parade the group
will motor to Montgomery where Mrs.
Becker will deliver an address at a
luncheon given by D. A. R. Clubs
of that city.
Immediately after the parade on
Bullard Field Mrs. Becker will be
asked to pin the D. A. R. citizenship
medal on Miss Marguerite Johnson,
Lee County High School winner.
Formally presented to Mrs. Becker
will be the two winners of the D. A.
R. citizenship medals at Camp Sam-ford
and Camp Checwacla.
All faculty members of the college
and townspeople are invited to wit­ness
the parade on Bullard Field to­morrow
morning.
C. Whittey Walter, Social Commit­tee
chairman, announced last night
that Anson Weeks and his versatile
band have been engaged to play for
the final dances.
Also at the time of this announce­ment,
Walter said the date for the
finals had been set for Friday and
Saturday, April 24 and 25. This an­nouncement
as to the orchestra and
dates for the final dances comes more
or less as a surprise to the student
body as this announcement is usually
made much later in the year.
Several organizations have already
expressed interest in securing dances
during the finals, which are expected
this year to be especially lively. Bid
cards will be sent out in the near fut­ure.
The Social Committee will make
an early announcement concerning the
prices for the dance set as well as
for individual dances.
Anson Weeks has now one of the
most popular dance bands in the coun­try.
He is now playing at the Aragon
ball room in Chicago and broadcast­ing
twice nightly over WGN, Chicago.
Anson Weeks and his band was se­cured
through the Music Corporation
of America. Weeks will also play for
the final dances at the University
of Alabama.
Plans Are Laid For

club will be hostess to represen­tatives
from clubs at Dadeville, La­fayette,
and Roanoke. Miss Ethel
Ramage, state president, will be pres­ent
and address the meeting Sat­urday.
*
Headquarters for the meeting will
be the Thomas Hotel.

Interest Mounts
It is with considerable pleasure that the
Plainsman notes the gradual rise of interest
being shown by students concerning the fi­nancial
situation of Auburn and of educa­tion
generally in the state. Students are be­ginning
to realize that they will be seriously
affected if the present condition is allowed
to continue much longer.
Students come to Auburn hoping to gain
an education. When they graduate after
four years of study they want to be pre­sented
with a diploma that has four years
of solid education backing it up. They don't
want a page of parchment that has no more
worth than the cost of the paper plus the
printing.
If something is not done before the year
is up, many professors will be leaving. Th%
best professors will leave. They will find
positions in which they will receive due com­pensation
for their service. To replace them
Auburn will be forced to employ teachers of
inferior rank. Naturally, one who has spent
many years in preparation for the teaching
profession will not consider a college which
pays its professors hardly more than a city
pays the man to clean its streets.
With such a situation existing at Auburn,
any diploma which the college gives is prac­tically
worthless. A student would be wast­ing
his time here. He would have but little
respect for the professors and consequently
would not be induced to study further in
a subject past that of obtaining a passing
grade.
The thinking students, those who are here
for a purpose, will do all within their power
to remedy the situation. It will take the
combined efforts of all students. This added
pressure on the state lawmakers on the part
of students is bound to have effect.
World Peace
World peace, already on a shaky pedestal,
was given another jar last week when Adolf
Hitler marched his troops into the Rhine-land.
• This move by Hitler was in direct
violation of the Locarno Treaty, which pro­vides
that this little strip of land between
Germany and France should forever remain
demilitarized. The treaty is one of mutual
guaranty among Germany, France, Great
Britain, Italy and Belgium.
Why Hitler took this move is little under­stood
by the rest of the world. Every na­tion
knows that Germany neither wants war
nor is she prepared for war. Yet, when her
troops marched into the Rhineland, Ger­many
laid herself wide open to serious dif­ficulties
with other European countries. Hit­ler
has now practically repudiated the Ver­sailles
Treaty. The treaty as far as it con­cerns
Germany is hardly more than a scrap
of paper with lots of names on it. To
France it is just as worthless.
The occupation of the Rhineland may be
just another move on the part of Germany
to regain what she formerly owned or con­trolled
prior to the World War. The Ver­sailles
Treaty virtually bottled Germany.
Her hands and feet were tied and her mouth
gagged. She was reduced from a nation of
great wealth and power to one shod of all
its possessions and poorer than an alley cat.
She has stood it as long as she can; With
Hitler at the head, Germany is breaking
away from the restrictions imposed upon
her following the war.. She is out to regain
what she feels is her rightful place in the
sun. The German people are proud. They
have great faith in their race and won't
stand for long to be ground underfoot by
other nations.
Hitler picked a beautiful time to occupy
the Rhineland. The two nations to be most
concerned, France and Great Britain, were
busily engaged in tangling with Italy and
the II Duce.
With her troops in the Rhineland, and
with no other nation being able to do much
about it, Germany has signified of her de­sire
to reenter the League of Nations. But
she will enter again only, upon condition
that Germany's colonial equality and free­dom
from the Versailles Treaty is recog­nized.
The nations of the world might just
as well do this bit of recognizing right now
for they will have to do it sooner or later
anyway.
Hitler has a clever method of getting
what he wants. Hf takes repeated, and
sudden jabs at the rest of the world, and
then holds his ground. His poke last week
caused a flare-up among the nations, but
it will die down soon. Then Hitler will
make definite and sure plans for his next
move. His method is slow and positive. He
will before many years again have Germany
a ranking nation as she was before the war.
An Opening Wedge
The rifle match last Saturday was notable
in that a team from Alabama competed in
the contest. Last year the University sent
a rifle team to Auburn for a similar match.
Outside of this rifle match, Auburn and the
University of Alabama have had no athletic
relations for more than twenty-five years.
Students at both institutions are well ac­quainted
with the ridiculous situation. Why
it continues to exist, nobody seems to be
able to give any satisfactory answed. It
just does.
But at any rate, the rifle match Saturday
between the two schools shows only too
clearly that athletic relations can be resum­ed.
Though there is hardly any compari­son
between a rifle match and a football
game, *there is a possibility that the rifle
matches may act as an opening wedge which
in the future will lead to football games
between the two institutions.
The Plainsman sincerely hopes that it
won't be many more years before Auburn
and the University will again be on friendly
athletic relations in all sports. As we have
said before there is really no real reason
why they shouldn't unless it is because of
the unfounded fear among authorities that
a football game would end in a student riot.
There would of course be keen competition
and enthusiasm would run high, but as far
as a student riot or anything similar hap­pening,
that is unlikely.
Meets With Success
From press clippings received at the
Plainsman office last week, we gather that
the Auburn Glee Club made a big hit in its
annual tour of the state. Director Lawrence
Barnett is to be congratulated upon the fine
work he has done since coming to Auburn
about a year ago. Auburn had a glee club
prior to that time but hardly one that could
be compared with the present club.
Auburn not only has a football team to be
proud of but many other activities as well.
The success of the glee club shows in no
small way what can be done here if one
only has the initiative and is not afraid to
extend a little effort. There is considerable
talent on the campus that never comes to
light because the necessary encouragement
is lacking.
It is hoped that the glee club will find
it profitable to present more concerts on the
campus similar to the one given last night.
Letters To The Editor
Editor, The Plainsman:
Dear Sir:
I am writing you this letter for two rea­sons:
First, about the editorial, "Where's
the Comeback" directed at the Y. M. C. A.
and Blue Key, and second, about the edi­torial
"Let's Act Now."
I have always heard that it's the truth
that hurts, and that's the main trouble with
the recent response of the Blue Key member
and the non-response of the Y. M. C. A.
Well, this is the "Y" 's retaliation, and I
hope the Blue Keys will not be offended
because none is meant.
The Young Men's Christian Association
has undoubtedly had several lean years at
Auburn, but we are definitely on the way up
again to a place of recognition on our cam­pus.
When an object hits something solid,
it will either rebound or burst, and so it is
with the Y. M. C. A. We have struck bot­tom
and haven't broken up so we shall re­bound
just as high or even higher in in­fluence
than ever before. One of the best
steps taken by the local "Y" in several years
is the organizing of a freshman group. This
group will be organized yearly so that a fine
group of new men will always be ready to
carry on where others have left off. Two
other notable projects carried out by the
Y. M. C. A. are: co-publishers of the stu­dent
directory, and sponsors of the Go-to-
Church month. We can easily see the fal­lacy
of the present rules concerning the
award to be given for' the Go-to-Church
month, and the rules will be changed next
year. However, the idea has not been ridi­culous;
many men have attended church
services during this month that would not
have attended otherwise, and to a degree
this is success. We hope, by putting the
award on a yearly basis next year, that the
idea will be an even greater success.
As per the editorial "Let's Act Now," if
it is left up to the students to do something
lets do it! If about 2000 students and a
70 piece band, who were under strict sur­veillance,
would march en masse upon the
capitol, say next Friday evening, wouldn't
it influence the legislators to act to relieve
the school situation in Alabama? This is
not an impossible feat; this is evidenced
when the Auburn football team is due to
swing into action in the capitol city, and
every one who can "beg, borrow, or steal"
a few dollars. Personally, my education in
a good school is worth just a little more
than any football game that I have ever
seen, and incidentally, I'm an ardent football
fan. The least thing that I could suggest to
do is to send a mammoth postal card to the
legislature with a brief message, urging
legislation to relieve the status of the state's
educational situation, and the signature of
every student in the Alabama Polytechnic
Institute attached.
More power to you Mr. Editor; the Y. M.
C. A. will co-operate with you in every way
possible.
Very truly yours,
ROBERT C. JOHNSTON,
Vice-President, Y. M. C. A.

His hands swing boldly at his side, a picture of assurance.
No earthly thing can cause a rift in his perfectly balanced mind,
A cockier creature than this bird you'll surely never find.

From the Crimson and White comes the
following definition of the word face: "A

collar and scalp, and full of chin, cheek,

hair, harvested daily with lather, or allowed
to run to mutton chops, spinach, or full cur­tains.
The female product is powder,
whence the expression 'Shoot off your face.'
Each is supplied with lamps, snufflers, and

Oh, let us find an honest man,
Whose votes he will not barter.
We'll make him combine president,
And crucify the martyr.
Oh, find a man who keeps his word—

The Kentucky Kernel has provided with
these interesting statistics: A cigarette is
two and three-quarters inches long. The
average smoker consumes approximately 15
cigarettes a day or over three feet of cylin­drical
tobacco. During a college student's
days of higher education he smokes enough
cigarettes to stretch 10 miles, were they
placed end to end. Over a period of 40
years, a nicotine fiend puffs into smoke
enough fags to stretch from Lexington, Ky.,
to Cincinnati, Ohio. Over a period of four
years, the girls in one sorority alone smoke
enough coffin nails to reach from Lexington
to Washington, D. C.

A cigarette fiend at Loyalo University
delved into higher mathematics the other
day to find out how much it costs him to
smoke. He made the startling discovery
that he could enjoy forty-five more dates a
year if he would abstain from smoking. Ac­cording
to this statistician, the average stu­dent
on the Loyalo campus smokes about
ten packages a week (his own or his
friends') which amount to about 520 packs
a year. A cost of $93.60. Now figure how
much his .dates cost him. —The Davidsonian.

PROPER AGING
Tobacco in its natural state is harsh
and strong. Though "cured" by the
grower before sale, it is unsuited for
use without further aging. During
this aging period (which ranges in
the case of Lucky Strike from 1 %
to 3 years) important changes occur.
These "Nature" changes result in
the partial "smoothing out" of the
original harsh qualities of the leaf.
Our process of manufacture carries
these improvements many steps
further—as every Lucky Strike
Cigarette exemplifies: A Light
Smoke of rich, ripe-bodied tobacco.
\ ^&K\
LUCK1ES ARE LESS ACID!
Recent chemical tests show* that other
popular brands have an excess of atia*^

C for centuries the world has gone
to the Near East for its flavors and
aromas and spices.
. . . and today Chesterfield imports
thousands of baletf* of tobacco from
Turkey and Greece to add flavor and
fragrance to Chesterfield Cigarettes.
Turkish tobacco is expensive. The
import duty alone is 35 cents a pound.
But no other place except Turkey and
Greece can raise tobacco of this par­ticular
aroma and flavor.
This Turkish tobacco, blended
with our own American tobaccos in
the correct proportions to bring out
the finer qualities of each tobacco,
helps to make Chesterfields outstand­ing
for mildness and for better taste.
