TIGERS DOWNED
IN CLOSE GAME
BY BAYOU TEAM
Coffee Throws Twenty-Three
Yard Pass For Score In Last
Few Minutes Of Close Game
BOTH LINES GOOD
Gilbert And Paterson Stand
Out In Plays For Auburn;
Score Ruins Auburn Chances
Auburn and L.S.U. fought with the
same strength and ferociousness of
their namesake in Baton Rouge Sat­urday,
but the Bayou Tigers had the
last minute punch they needed to keep
them in the running for the confer­ence
championship. After the big
homecoming crowd had given the
game up as a scoreless tie, Coffee, a
substitute fullback, with only one min­ute
to play shot a 23-yard pass to
Barrett who only had to step over the
goal line to give L. S. U. a 6-0 victory.
With only a few minutes remaining
in the last quarter, James Karam was
sent in as left halfback. This fleet
back caught one of Coffee's tosses,
who was maneuvering the great L. S.
U. pass threat after Mickal and Crass
had failed all afternoon, and in an
effort to get into the open Karam was
swamped by a horde of L. S. U.
tacklers and driven back to Auburn's
17-yard line. On the first play Ka­ram
took the ball on an end run and
met with the same results. L. S. .U.
backed him up to Auburn's 2-yard
stripe.
Kilgore punted from the end-zone
to Junior Morton who returned the
ball 12 yards to Auburn's 23. Coffee's
first throw to Fatheree was incom­plete.
He cashed in on his next toss
for Barrett cut in from the right to
catch it low and cross the goal line.
• Coffee sent the ball flying through
the uprights for the extra point, but
it was not allowed for L. S. U. had
12 men on the field.
Up to this point Auburn probably
held a slight edge in the battle. The
Plainsmen drove to State's 1-yard
line, the 29, and 23 in the second
quarter. L. S. U. made its only
threat to score in the first quarter
after an Auburn fumble. Tipper's
fumble was recovered by Barrett in
midfield. Crass threw passes of 18
.yards to Barrett and 8 yards to Tins-ley.
Fatheree made seven at end but
Auburn's great defense strengthened
and held Crass for no gain on three
tries to take over the ball on their
12-yard line.
In the second quarter Auburn took
the ball on L. S. U.'s 45. Hitchcock
passed to Williams for 11 yards. Kil­gore
made 3 yards. A pass from
Hitchcock to Williams was incomplete,
but on the second try Auburn's left
half shot one to Kilgore that was good
for 11 yards. Kilgore struck out into
the open for 18 yards more before
being brought down by Crass and
Rock Reed on L. S .U.'s three.
Kilgore made two on the first play.
Hitchcock and Kilgore failed to gain.

Omicron Delta Kappa To Stage
Huge Bonfire And Pep Meeting
Prior To Auburn-Georgia Game
Bass-Baritone Will Be
Heard Here Thursday
In Glee Club Series
Joseph MacPherson, formerly lead­ing
bass-baritone of the Metropolitan
Opera Company, will appear Thurs­day
evening in concert at Langdon
Hall here as the third of a series spon­sored
by the Alabama Music League
and the Auburn Glee Club. The con­cert
begins at 8:30.
Mr. MacPherson has not only a
voice deep, resonant, and of vibrant
quality, but possesses a most charming
and pleasing personality that radi­ates,
reaching out and holding his
audience spell-bound as it listens to
his rich, smooth tones.
Ovations of praise have been ac­corded
him in his cross country tour.
The New York Herald-Tribune, in re­porting
his performance says, "Mr.
MacPherson again revealed one of the
most beautiful voices heard on that
stage — remarkable for its depth-smoothness
and sonority."
Quoting from The Atlantic City
Sunday Press, "Before he had com­pleted
his first number, an aria from
'La Gionda', it was evident from
his smooth, round, powerful voice,
from the intensity of his mood and
from the highly dramatic character of
his singing, that there was a singer to
make an impression whether on the
operatic stage with which he is fa­miliar
or on the concert platform, re­vealing
his command of variety of
tone from a good piano to a profound
bass voice which sounded well to the
far corners of the hall.

I Instructor Uncovers Howlers
By Student In Quiz
Here Recently
The instructor had already noticed
a quaint disregard for spelling on the
part of many of the students whose
papers he was correcting, but he was
quite unprepared for the shock he re­ceived
when he discovered one paper
with eleven errors.
The subject being Aeronautical En­gineering,
he had cause to be surpris­ed
at one student's challenge to Web­ster
on the spelling of the word "air­plane"
by writing it "airplain". His
interest now aroused over the work­ings
of the Sophomoric mind, the pro­fessor
compiled the following list of
boners from the paper:
Hysorintal for horizontal, sleave for
sleeve, attacte for attack, iogintualy
for longitudinally, venir for veneer,
alkilye for alkali, and glocy which he
finally interpreted to mean glossy.
A gigantic student rally and bon­fire
is being planned for Thursday
night, November 21 before the Au­burn-
Georgia game by the local circle
of Omicron Delta Kappa. The meet­ing
is planned as a boost to the team
before their game in Columbus.
Tentative plans, as announced by
John Rush, president of the Omega
Circle of O.D.K., calls for a huge bon­fire
on the Rat football field, with
members of the coaching staff, foot­ball
team, and the Auburn Band tak­ing
part.
Bleachers will be erected on the
field to accommodate the large crowd
of students and townspeople expected
to attend the meeting. According to
Rush, an amplifying system will pro­bably
be installed for the occasion.
Many special features are being
planned to include several original
cut-ups by the four cheerleaders, plus
the addition of fireworks between
yells. It is expected to make this the
largest meeting of its kind as "a show
of confidence" in the coaching staff
and football team.
Short talks are planned from Dr.
George Petrie, coach of the first Au­burn
football team, Coach Jack Mea­gher,
Dr. L. N. Duncan, Capt. Mutt
Morris, P. 0. Davis along with many
others, including the senior members
of the team.
Final plans for the occasion will be
announced in a later issue of the
Plainsman. O. D. K. is making a
special effort to foster the "Auburn
spirit" through this mass meeting,
which is considered to be the largest
of its kind held each year on the
campus during the football season.

FRESHMAN Y J.C.A.
PLANS DISCUSSED
AT CONVOCATIONS
Convocation Called This Morn'
ing To Form Frosh 'Y' Group
Here; Meet Again Tonight
A freshman convocation was held
this morning at 11 o'clock in Langdon
Hall for the purpose of promoting
more interest in a Christian life and
to organize the freshmen who are in­terested
in Y. M. C. A. work. The
actual organization will be formed in
another meeting tonight at 7:30
o'clock in Langdon Hall.
Messrs. C. M. Gray and J. T. Hard-wich,
members of the State Y. M. C.
A. Association and two of the most
outstanding workers in the South,
have been in Auburn since Tuesday
working on the plans. At a meeting
of the Council last night, plans for
the convocation today were discussed
in an effort to organize the freshmen
into a cabinet with special duties.
It was also decided at the meeting
to secure Mr. _ Claud Nelson, world
traveler and lecturer on the European
situation, to talk before the entire
student body on November 14. Plans
were laid to solicit funds for the or­ganization
for the coming year.
All freshmen interested in the for­mation
of a "Y" Cabinet on the cam­pus
here are asked to be present at
the meeting to be held tonight in
Langdon Hall. At this time the "Y"
Council members will have a call
meeting.
MANY CANDIDATES
WILL COMPETE IN
FROSH ELECTIONS
Election Chairman Reports 15
Freshman Candidates For
Offices In Coming Election
National Youth Group Will Spend
Huge Sum On 216 Auburn Students
Figures from the Accountant's of­fice
revealed that the 216 students
employed by the college on National
Youth Administration projects would
be paid a total of $27,000 by the Fed­eral
Government for the work they
will do before the current school year
is completed.
The jobs given these students will
be given to girls and boys in the same
ratio that they are registered here,
and 64 of the 67 counties of the state
are represented by at least one em­ployee
on the pay roll. Thirty de­partments
of the college have projects
of some nature done by these workers.
Over 25 per cent of the students em­ployed
are doing clerical and office
work; about the same percentage are
assisting in various laboratories and
research work. Various minor jobs
are done by the other 50 per cent.
Later in the year it is hoped that a
definite recreational program can be
carried out by the students for high
school boys and girls and any one in
college wishing to take part. Already
some of the workers are helping with
the local scout troup and with the
playground program at the high
school.
Another interesting phase of the
NYA work to be done here is the
teaching of elementary courses in
reading, writing, and arithmetic to the
CCC boys located in two camps out
from Auburn. Some students with
high averages employed by the college
will instruct in night schools. Sam-ford
Hall will be used for this pur­pose,
and the CCC boys will be
brought to class in the trucks employ­ed
in the camps.
Mr. W. T. Ingram, accountant, stat­ed
that since this work had been put
under the NYA and a high scholastic
average must be attained by the stu­dents
employed the average of the
entire student body had been raised
over one point from 77 at the mid­term
of 1933-34 to 78.4 at the last
term of 34-35 year.

4:30 P.M.
The band will make the trip via
this train. A large crowd of Auburn
supporters from Montgomery and oth­er
central Alabama cities is expected

the president of the Executive Cabi­net
that a convocation of all freshmen
will be held at 10 o'clock Monday
morning for the purpose of introduc­ing
all the candidates to the members
of the freshman class.
Pajama Parade To
Feature Mass
Meeting
A huge torchlight parade staged in
pajamas will be among the highlights
of the annual "Wreck Tech" mass
meeting to be held tomorrow night be­ginning
at 7:00.
The band will form in front of
Langdon Hall and head the parade
which will wind through the business
section of the town, finally convening
at a specially constructed platform
near the monument, where McTyiere,
Lee, Adams, and O'Donnell will lead
the cheers and songs.
McTyiere requests that everyone
wear pajamas and carry torches to­morrow
night and help make this one
of the largest of these affairs ever
held. In the event the weather is cold,
pajamas should be worn over other
clothes.
In Atlanta Saturday morning an­other
parade will be held beginning
immediately after the arrival of the
Auburn special at 11:00. The band
will be on the train and will lead the
parade from the depot uptown. Those
who go to Atlanta via auto are urged
to be at the station when the train
arrives and join the group.
In view of the fact that the team
lost to L. S. U. last week, McTyiere
expects double the usual number to be
on hand at both of these meetings
to show Coach Jack Meagher and the
squad the confidence the student body
has in them. A large turn-out at
both of these gatherings will be an
excellent aid to the morale of the
team, according to McTyiere.

Local Welfare Drive
Gets Many Donations
The drive for the Auburn Commu­nity
Welfare Fund of $2000 began in
full swing Monday morning. Some
generous contributions have been re­ceived
and not a great number have
been canvassed. Among the donations
made are: Felton Little $50; W. D.
Martin $36, and the following gave
$25 each: J. W. Wright, Rev. W. B.
Lee, Rev. Sam Hay, J. H. Pitts, Har­vey
Pitts, Gene Hurt, Col. G. H.
Franke, Dr. I. S. McAdory, Coach
Jack Meagher, Coach Wilbur Hutsell,
S L. Toomer.
At 10:00 o'clock Tuesday a total of
$361 had been donated. Other con­tributions
will be published from time
to time as they are received.
A special appeal is made for every
one to be as liberal as possible, as this
is the only drive that will be made
this year, and will include the Christ­mas
fund. Heretofore there has been
a drive for each project all during the
year.
In concentrating all Community
charities into one fund it will elimi­nate
separate drives and repeated ap­peals
to individuals for funds through­out
the year. This will enable the
charity committee to attend to the
local needs immediately.
Last year the Fraternities and So­rorities
and student body rendered a
great service by donations and assist­ed
in collecting the funds.
N O T I C E !
Due to the fact that so many stu­dents
will be at the football game
Saturday, the Glomerata office will
be open Monday instead as the last
day for the showing of proofs and
delivering pictures .
N O T I C E !
The A.V.M.A. will meet tonight at
7 o'clock in the Vet. Building. All
vets are invited to attend.
Association Of Alabama Deans And
Advisers Hold Annual Fall Meeting
The annual Fall meeting of the
Alabama Association of Deans and
Advisers of Women was held here
Tuesday with Dr. Minnie L. Steckel
of Montevallo, president, presiding.
Keynote of the six addresses which
constituted the program was "person­nel
of girls in southern colleges." The
amount of academic work which col­lege
women should be allowed to take
when doing part-time work to earn
expenses was also stressed in several
of the discussions.
The meeting opened at 10 a.m. with
Dr. Eoline Wallace Moore, dean of
women at Birmingham-Southern dis­cussing
"Student Part-time Work;
Sources, Types, Academic Load." This
was followed by "How to Secure Bet­ter
Guidance for High School Girls"
led by Miss Zoe Dobbs, Dean of Wom­en
and Social Director at Auburn.
The morning session closed with a re­port
of study recently made on "Work
of Advisers to Girls in High Schools
of Alabama" by Miss Mabel Sims, of
Young Junior High School, Dothan.
The following addresses were given
in the afternoon: "The Maladjusted
Girl: Socially, Ethically, and Environ­mentally",
Miss Bessie Welch, dean
of women, Judson College; "How to
Utilize Student Initiative in College",
Mrs. R. M. Church, dean of women,
Athens College; and "Need for Col­lege
Deans to Join the National As­sociation
of Deans of Women", Miss
Boyce Garrett, dean of women, State
Teachers College, Troy.
Among those in attendance at the
meeting were Miss Inez Duncan, di­rector
of personnel, and Miss Rebecca
Ward, academic dean, Judson College,
Marion; and Miss Bessie Merrill, sec­retary-
treasurer of the association,
and girls adviser at Phillips High
School, Birmingham.
Members of six American Legion
posts in East Alabama have been in­vited
to take part in the Armistice
Day celebration at Auburn on Tues­day
morning, November 12. The ex­ercises,
including an address by Con­gressman
Joe Starnes, Guntersville,
an elaborate R. O. T. C. parade by
Auburn cadets, and a barbecue lunch­eon,
will be held in honor of the World
War veterans.
The Auburn John H. Wills- Post
is cooperating with the College in
bringing to Auburn more than 100
veterans for the occasion. Invitations
will be delivered in person by Ander­son
Blackburn, Auburn Legionnaire,
to the commanders of posts in Opelika,
Dadeville, Tallassee, Tuskegee, and
Phenix City. Mr. Blackburn said that
all Legionnaires in this section of Ala­bama
are cordially invited.
The exercises will open on Bullard
Field shortly after 10:00 o'clock when
Auburn's famous R. O. T. C. will
march in the first official review of
the 1935-36 session. Prior to the re­view
the visiting Legionnaires will
gather at the corner of Glenn Avenue
and College Street and parade
through the business section of Au­burn
led by the College Band. For
the review the Legionnaires will form
in line at the reviewing stand with
Congressman Starnes, Dr. L. N. Dun­can,
president of the Alabama Poly­technic
Institute, Col. G. H. Franke,
commandant, and others. The address
by Congressman Starnes will follow
at 11:00 o'clock after which the bar­becue
luncheon will be held in Alumni
Gymnasium.
The Armistice Day exercises are
held annually at Auburn in order to
pay tribute to members of the Ameri­can
Legion, to honor those who gave
their lives in the World War, and to
focus attention of students and towns­people
upon the patriotic celebration
of Armistice Day.
Ag Fair Last Friday
Stamped Successful
The annual Ag Fair, held last Fri­day
evening at seven o'clock, was gen­erally
regarded as the most successful
efforts of its kind to be staged in the
past several yers. If on nothing else,
this statement can be based on the
fact that the large section of bleachers
placed on Comer Hall campus was
sufficient to seat only half of the
crowd attending.
The parade through town was view­ed
by a good size assembly of students
and citizens. This parade, composed
of floats depicting every phase of ag-riculture
taught here, was well plan­ned;
and evidence of a great deal of
work on this part of the program
could be easily seen.
The night program opened with
country music by a string quartet,
which was followed by a speech of
welcome by K. G. Howard, senior
manager of the fair. A free-for-all
Negro fight was the most popular
number of the evening; also the "Joe
Louis-Max Baer" match, done by two
students, received its share of ap­plause.
A surprise act was done by
some visiting CCC boys who played
a guitar and a mouth harp accompa­nied
by mountain singing. Other acts
included the mock faculty, wheel bar­row
polo, and a genuine old fashioned
square dance.

It's Not So Bad
Glancing through a week's supply of ex­change
papers from other colleges, we never
fail to find at least one or two references
in which the editor of this or that sheet
goes to considerable length to explain to his
devout readers the many troubles of a col­lege
exchange editor. It's a gloomy pic­ture.
The editor tries so desperately hard
to please his public. If he follows this or
that policy, somebody gripes about it. If
he changes the policy a wee bit, then every­body
is griping. Nothing seems to pan out
just right.
In another case an editor very success­fully
filled up two-thirds of his editorial
space telling of how hard it was to find
something to write about every week. Of
course, that's no new trick. That used to
be the habit of Plainsman columnists, until
after about a hundred such columns Joe
College got a little tired of the same old
stuff, and the columnists promptly invented
some new space filling devices.
We would like to say in this connection
that not a single one of the above problems
of the average college editor exists at Au­burn.
Just for the looks of things we oc­casionally
take a notion to write about some
deep subject pertaining to world problems
and the Ethiopian situation or even national
politics. But mind you, it's just for show
and nothing else. We don't pretend to know
about these things, and furthermore we
know that if we did and attempted to ex-
'plain them it wouldn't do any good because
nobody is interested, and even if they were
they wouldn't believe what we said.
The editor of an Auburn paper soon dis­covers
that when he tries to be serious the
readers laugh, and when he tries to be fun­ny
for a change the readers think it is some­thing
serious. Something was written in
the paper last Friday about the editor be­ing
booted out of his office by an aroused
staff. It was all in fun (being done every
year when the editor leaves town to get a
breath of fresh air) but it wouldn't be an
exaggeration to say that half the campus
and even some of the faculty believed the
story. The editor returned to the Fair
Village to find himself the center of con-,
versation and the object of considerable
pity and all such as that.
Then again the editor at Auburn learns
after one or two disheartening attempts at
putting across a worthwhile project that
nothing less than the scream of the local
fire truck will ever arouse the student body
from their continual lethargy. A queer idea
exists at Auburn that if some person works
hard to put in effect some long-needed cam­pus
change he is doing it only for his per­sonal
benefit, and so the project falls flat
after a few feeble kicks like a chicken with
its head cut off.
All in all Auburn is nothing less than an
editor's Utopia. All he has to do twice a
week is fill up blank columns with lots of
words. He doesn't have to say anything
because it is not expected of him. The
students don't believe anything they read
in the news columns, and so the editor
doesn't have to give much thought as to
how accurate the news is. That's a big
help. Yes, the editor has an easy job at
Auburn just piddling away his time and
having lots of fun at the same time.

Law students are quick to catch on.
A story is now going the rounds, of a
student whose law school fees were raised
from $40.00 to $50.00. Canny, he looked
at his college catalogue and the catalogue
said fees were $40. So he sued his college
administration for the extra $10. The
whole law school faculty was lined up
against him, but the judges gave the boy
the nod. He won his case!

In a certain boarding house at the Uni­versity
of Wisconsin the girls who live there
have now placed little placards by the house
phones. The placards say, "Gentlemen
guests will please not answer calls."
It seems that this is the development of
a very embarrassing situation which arose
last spring. One fine day the Dean of
Women called the boarding house and a
deep masculine voice answered, "Third
Floor". Seems a pity that the girls did not
know the budding young barrister mention­ed
in the paragraph above, or maybe they
did and now he is going to sue for defama­tion
of character we don't know. Any way
our bet is that he could have handled the
situation!

A few days ago an announcement was
made to the students on the McKinlock
campus of Northwestern University. A
voice class for amateur harmonizers was
to be opened on the ninth floor of the Ward

One day after the class began the dean

floor to the first.

To increase student's interest in books,
William and Mary is offering a $50 gift to
the senior who has an individual library of
greatest interest and used with the highest
intelligence. This will not only stimulate
student's interest in making his own col­lection
but also continue his use of good
books of a practical and cultural nature.

From the' Sweet Briar News we have dis­covered
that the cadets have made the fol­lowing
petitions: "We are really nice boys,
and the thought ran up and down our
spines. We are petitioning the government
for popguns to replace these wicked Spring-fields.
But we want to keep our uniforms
so the girls will continue to like us." At
this rate the U. S. will never go to war
again!

the street. He droVe up to a stop sign in
a leisurely fashion. "CRASH!"—something
tore into his car from the rear. He jumped
out, with ire aroused knowing perfectly well
that he was right, ready to cuss whoever
had run into him. Upon getting out and
going around the car whom should he face
but the dean. Was his face red?

Just after passing out papers for a phil­osophy
final, a Fordham professor noticed
a co-ed in the class busying herself applying
powder puff to her nose. "My dear young
lady," he remarked sarcastically, "you are
not taking the make-up exam—yet."
The Fordham mascot, a ram, recently dis­graced
himself by mistaking an elderly wo­man
for a football spy when she bent over
to pick dandelions near the practice field.
The woman was taken to the infirmary,
where it was discovered her injuries were
not serious.

THERE SEEMS to be a lot of that old
"hooey" about the power of the press.
In just mentioning a passing incident
(all in the spirit of fun) what do I get but
a letter to the effect that it was none of
my business if the sweet young things date
in pajamas. Somebody had a guilty con­science.
I mentioned that the "Linthead" Stock
had gone up, and from the results of the
hop they flung, my statement was more than
confirmed. Among those from our "high­light"
rank and file we were forced to note,
Bill Lee and Paul Bagley, local political as­pirants,
Rastus, K.O.'ed the affair a la Mul-lins,
and "our darling" Ann Whatley. Why
didn't Quinney date the blonde that night?
We cannot help but wonder just who
"little" Frances Wilson is taking to the Ga.
Tech game this weekend. Remember, a trip
of this distance will cost a bit more than a
trip to Montgomery.
Just in passing let us mention that we
hope Miss Brasfield is dating the right poli­ticians,
because that is the way to be "Miss
Auburn". We Want Molly!
While mentioning the dating of politicians
we wonder what has become of D'Orsay.
Did her politicians graduate? But we still
have a Cadet Colonel.
Wonder again—What has happened to
make these Auburn men go in for religion.
Parsons is now running the boys through
in two shifts an evening.
Starkey, it is very naughty to break dates
when the date doesn't have a car and one
with a car "has come to town". Someday
you may want to walk to the show.
Shacklef ord did rather well by herself last
weekend, I hope that she does as well this.
I'll be looking for you.
Ed and Kay do not seem to think the
Tiger "jack pot" is large enough so to Ope-lika
they go. The Scotch will out.
Kate Smith says that Rudy Vallee Gilbert
has not lost any time the nights that the
moon refused to shine.
The reason for Bill Porteous' results that
he brags about came to light when he gave
Tooker that $35.00. Room rent no doubt.
Jarrard collects $50.00.
The steel market jumped from 0 to 100
this last month. Upon close investigation
it was found that many were the iron men
of Auburn who were being Galvan—ized.
Was you there, Douglas?
Then there is always that transfer from
M. S. C. W. with her "Shadow" forever by
her side.
How does he do it? The old days have
returned and most any night you can see
Son Thomas stuffing dates on Benson's
corner.
Hooper and "Country" are still pulling
that old brother-sister act. Even if she does
get all red when Dean Petrie talks about
Navy Day.
"That Lady in Red" Watson, I believe,
is going to town. After a date with Bob
Creel, three gallants were necessary to es­cort
her home the next night. I do not
blame Death for taking a holiday. "Power
House" Bobby?
There is much that could be said in be­half
of the lovely Summer Queen, but for
me, just to stand and gape when she passes
is enough. Gentlemen, Katherine of Snow-den.
Editor Doug and his henchman, Hurt,
left town for the weekend to stuff a honey­moon.
It took more than just a football
game to get ye Ed out of town.
Much can be said for the progress "Dick"
Green is making on the new job these days;
"howya Dick?"
Also, Neil, Duke of Dothan, is not doing
so worse for himself. Watch that boy go
to town. Have you ever seen him when he
was coming to town?
It is hard to tell just what that Playboy
Merrell is up to, but I sorta thought that
the blonde cashier was the cause for his
honey pants.
"I-Pour-Honey" McAllister has been both­ered
with poachers on his reserve in Ag
Hollow. Protection has been asked for until

According to Dame Rumor there seems
to be a move afoot to revive the, what I
thought was dead, Independent Student As­sociation.
I do not doubt but that a slight
rumble will be heard for that quarter when
the freshman elect their officers, but I do
not believe that such an organization will
ever function properly on this campus. The
men who will compose the organization are
not very closely bound together, and hence
they accomplish very little. There is always

Editor The Plainsman
Auburn, Ala.
Dear Sir:
We think that during this period of gen­eral
unrest throughout the student body is
appropriate for an inventory to be taken
of the functioning of various student or­ganizations.
The Executive Cabinet received at the
beginning of the semester 50 cents per per­son,
from 2100 students enrolled. In a re­cent
publication by the president of the
Cabinet expenditures of the money were
listed. Upon close examination of the va­rious
items it is evident that our money is
being spent to aid select groups that should
be supported through the Student Activities
Fee. Having checked with other schools we
found that organizations like the Players;
Glee Club, etc., receive appropriations from
the Student Activities Fee, and that they
are permitted to keep the proceeds from
their performances.
Heretofore the student body paid in cer­tain
fees called Class Dues which were
turned over to class treasurer until the class
voted it to some worthy cause. Such is not
the case this year, the money was paid to
the Cabinet without the popular consent of
the students. This cabinet, composed of 21
members, distributed these funds with the
approval only of the aforementioned stu­dents.
The whole thing sums up that in­stead
of $7.50 for student activities the stu­dent
body actually pays $8.00, and has no
voice in the expenditure of the money.
A cabinet like the one on this campus
may function in several different ways for
the general good of all students. For in­stance,
the recent dissatisfaction concerning
the student laundry service: If the Cabinet
functioned as it should the above dissatis­faction
would never have occurred; or now
that it has, an active cabinet would have,
long ago, investigated the question and
would have settled it through the proper
authorities to the satisfaction of all.
A petition, though unbecoming to the dig­nity
of an institution if higher learning, is
very effective.
Other things in which the Cabinet should
become interested are: the institution of
caps and gowns for the graduating seniors;
the senior gift, common to all colleges;-
steps to curb existing political corruptions
in our student elections; steps to aid the
Cheer Leaders by giving them an organized
cheering section; and in general function
as is constitutionally provided.
With the possibilities that exist for the
present cabinet why should they deplete
their numbers and put increased power in
the hands of 11 men. Such action would
result in a more corrupt political situation
than now exists, and would be activity
without student representation. The pas-fended
they will never ask me to pledge or
when they give their dances they will not
ask me. Rather a weak argument but ef­fective.
The non-fraternity men have never
realized their possibilities and are afraid to
try. There seems to be a challenge just
waiting for the right man to come along. . . .
"Unite and join forces with the fraternities
in running the campus activities instead of
leaving it entirely up to the fraternities
to conduct them as they see fit." With a
hand in the actual manipulations I believe
that some of the so called "griping" will
stop from one source at least. But they
are too lazy!
siveness of the student body is responsible
for the conditions as they are today, and
if it ever awakens to the possibilities of its
power more representative student govern­ment
would result.
Yours truly,
Us Three.

Dear Sir:
Each time this paper comes out, we have
some kind of adverse criticism from some
student or group of students about what
they term we are FORCED to do here.
My parents had about two dozen cata­logues
from colleges when I finished high
school, and after careful consideration, Au­burn
was chosen. I was not forced to come
here; I elected to take advantage of the
privilege given me by our State and know­ing
just what studies I would have to take,
what hours I would have to put into my
work here, what holidays I would have, and
what every cost would be; I came here.
I find that there is nothing different from
what the catalogue said it would be. I am
getting everything that I paid for. I do
not know a fraternity man from a non-fra­ternity
man except when he has on his pin.
The boarding houses furnish us better meals
week in and week out than we get in the
average home. The professors are fair even
when we think we make 85 and get 55. The
doctor comes when you do not feel like drill­ing
and gives you a harmless pill (quite a
tactful doctor). You get all student publi­cations
regularly, you get a good picture
put in the Glomerata, you get to see the
BEST football team (in my estimation) of
the South and this will hold true of basket­ball
and baseball when they come. You
are invited to attend all kinds of social
events on the campus and many held in the
churches. You are urged to join literary
societies, to go out for whatever kind of
athletics you like best. Your laundry is
equal to that of any southern city (I don't
know about northern ones). Why are we
allowed this privilege? Because the Trus­tees
of the Alabama Polytechnic Institute
are willing to give their time and thought
to educating the youth of Alabama for the
least possible sum in the very best manner.
I am a member of the church but haven't
attended since I started to college. I am
enjoying Auburn to the fullest and I be­lieve
that out of 803 freshmen at least 700
of us feel the same way. I am not trying
to secure a pass in freshman English, nor
a fraternity bid, not every a pat on the back

Dear Sir:
I would like to remind some of these
slovenly dim wits that Col. Franke was not
kidding when he announced that "improper
wearing of the uniform on the campus and
about town will stop immediately". You
will soon learn that the Colonel isn't in the
habit of saying something without the in­tention
of backing it up.
The privilege of not wearing uniforms
to war class or lab is purely for your own
convenience and comfort. Four years ago
we wore uniforms to class, drill and lab,
and we had to drill on Saturday from 11:00
to 12:00. The following year this Satur-

DEATH came to him rather simply.
It was in a twinkling that he de­viated
from his mad dash, and start­ed
leisurely searching for a harp teacher
and a flying instructor. Ten ton trucks
are simple that way; when one is jostled
by one of the ilk at an approximate velocity
to fifty miles an hour there is hardly any­thing
left to the imagination. You are
either dead, completely, wholeheartedly, and
utterly, or t'was someone was hit.
As stated, he was quite dead. But instead
of being downhearted about the matter he
was indecently happy. For hadn't he es­caped
the bill collector who had been fol­lowing
him all day, and even for the past
week? The collector had hung around the
doorstep for so long the wolf who was
there and who's rightful place was the door­step,
had given up in disgust.
He was so happy in his relief he held no
grudge against the collector, who's fault
it had been that he was in his present po­sition;
having chased him so energetically
down one street, he was forced to seek an­other.
Betwixt the two was where he was
encountered by the truck.
He was walking along twanging his harp,
shuffling his wings, and rustling his sheet,
and was just as happy as if he had good
sense and a hamburger in each hand, when
he saw this other harp, wings, and sheet
advancing to meet him. And advancing at
a most rapid pace.
He stopped, frowned, started a dash, and
then gave up in disgust, and waited. "Gad",
he moaned, "you here?"
"I am here."
"But how, why? I thought I was finally
rid of you."
"The story sounds thusly", leered the
collector. "I had followed you for so long
and was so derned mad at you, that when
I saw you about to get away once and for
all, I stepped in front of the truck that was
following the one you met. And here I am.
And I want that last payment you owe on
that washing machine of yours."
* * * *
The first moral in that story: Pay cash
and stay out of the way of trucks. The
second moral: Be as loyal to your job as the
collector and perhaps you too will reach
heaven.
* * * *
But if you keep on as you are going, and
continue to step high on Saturday, and then
go to church on Sundays with mush in your
mouth and sing louder than anyone else to
show that you are such a christian. . . .
then you aren't reaching either place. Even
the Devil has his pride, you know.
* * * *
I could scream, myself.
* * * *
Others who aren't going: People who
make coffee in cafes . . . girls with rolled
hose . . . singers of the second verse of
any song . . . and the announcer at WSFA,
who says eye-ther.
* * * *
It's really not what you make of your
money, but what your money makes of you,
that counts. All heels aren't made by shoe
machinery, you know.
* * * *
It is probably too late to say anything
about it, but what does our neighboring
and oh-so-saintly city of Columbus, Georgia,
expect to profit by an attempt to prohibit
drinking at the Georgia-Auburn football
game?
We will admit that drinking at football
games is unmannerly and not at all digni­fied,
but just what is the sudden idea?
The City of Columbus, with a bunch of
open gambling houses, other houses, and the
biggest liquor warehouses (fifteen dollars
a case to anybody) this side of Louisville
issuing an order like that!
* * * *
Mercy, Egbert, let's stay home and throw
rocks at that old cat, instead.
day drill was changed to Thursday for the
benefit of the students.
Last year the rule was altered so that
uniforms could be kept neater. Now, it
seems that some would have uniforms issued
merely as a substitute for a shortage of
civilian clothes. The more you get, the more
you want. Instead of making the entire unit
suffer for the shortcomings of the sloppy
element, we wish that Col. Franke would
make only the guilty ones wear uniforms to
classes.
Remember, you are being paid by the War
Department, and any privilege granted by
them is purely on their own free will. Here
at Auburn you are treated as potential of­ficers;
at camp you will be treated as per­petual
privates. Over there you'll be will­ing
to give five dollars for a chance to wear
a uniform only twice a week and to quit
saluting everything from a gold bar on up.
How about showing a little appreciation and
self pride?
Yours truly,
A Senior.

Dadeville Kiwanians
Awarded Loving Cup
The Dadeville Kiwanis Club under
the direction of Fletcher N. Faring-ton,
President, and former Auburn
graduate, was recently awarded a lov­ing
cup for outstanding work in agri­culture
at the State Kiwanis Conven­tion
in Gadsden.
Mr. Farington, working in coopera­tion
with the agricultural engineering
department of Auburn, was the origi­nator
of the county terracing project
that has been adopted throughout Ala­bama
and other Southern states. In
the recent WSM radio broadcast fea­turing
Auburn, Mr. Farington's work
was detailed, and his initial project
in Tallapoosa County was presented
in dialogue.
Ninety Men In New
Highway Patrol
The new State Highway Patrol
force which will begin functioning
on November 10 will be made up of
a personnel of 90 men. This number
is based upon the number of uni-forms
ordered by Director C. B. Rog­ers,
of the State Board of Adminis­tration.
Bids have been let to various com­panies
for uniforms and accessories.
Contracts for 20 automobiles and 40
motorcycles were awarded last Thurs­day.
The average cost of each uni­form
will be $50.70.
Auburn High's vastly improved
football team again ran up a big
score when they ran rough shod over
the smaller and lighter Camp Hill
eleven Friday afternoon by 32-13.
The game, played on Drake Field be­fore
a large crowd, was the last to
be played under the coaching of Gor­don
Fowler. Fowler leaves this week
to accept a position in Birmingham.
Bully Hitchcock, brother of Jimmy
and Billy, took charge of the squad
Monday.
Unleashing a powerful running
game, the made-over "Baby Tigers"
could not be stopped in their last
game for the man that brought them
from the bottom to the top in high
school athletics. John Ham, 190
pound ace fullback, hit pay dirt im­mediately
after the opening kickoff.
Ham sidestepped and ran over the
opposing players and traveled four­teen
yards for the first touchdown.
Ham hit the center of the line for
the extra point.
Ham did not carry the ball but
twice during the entire game, making
a touchdown and extra point on those
trips. Wright, Funchess, Turner, and
Almquist made the other markers for
Auburn. Almquist made a dash of
sixty yards to the twelve yard line
where he was tackled and fumbled,
McGehee covering the ball. On the
next play Almquist again slipped off
tackle and ran the remaining distance
to the goal. Shorty Long took a long
pass from Wright and scored, but the
sixty-five yard play was called back
and Auburn penalized for slugging.

For Your Table Setting
B y F O S T O R I A
Often real beauty is an elusive
thing—the finest linen and din-nerware
quite fail to convey
the impression of richness you
wish. More often than not
what is needed is the sparkling
brilliance of rich glassware.
This lovely bowl and the fine
lustre candlesticks add the fin­ishing
touch to . the most lux­urious
table settings.
Only fine glassware deserves
the company of your best linen
and silver. But fine glassware
need not be expensive. Fostoria
quality has graced the Amer­ican
table for more than half
a century, yet it is so reason­ably
priced that it just fits pres­ent
day budgets.

this waste is flushed by water into the sewer.
The grinder is simple to install and operate.
The entire unit weighs about 75 pounds, and
may be installed under any style of sink as a
part of the outlet plumbing. The hopper inlet
is covered by a perforated cap, flush with the"
sink bottom. When the hopper is full, all one
has to do is turn a handle which projects
conveniently from beneath the sink. This
closes the hopper and starts the grinder.
PATENTED LILIES
V|(/JlEN left to their own devices, regal
" lilies get themselves all spattered oy
yellow pollen. It's a messy business—like a
man in a white linen suit spilling egg yolk
all over his vest. So the florists have to watch
these blooms carefully and pluck the pollen-laden
anthers before they have a chance to
burst.
In the General Electric Research Laboratory,
C. N. Moore, Dartmouth, '05, has for years
been investigating the biological effects of
x-rays. Among other things, he treated 75 regal-lily
bulbs with varying amounts of x-rays.
Untreated bulbs of the same batch grew up
normally. Among the treated bulbs, there were
some monstrosities and some apparently normal
flowering plants. The results were different the
next season. The progeny, of two of the bulbs
that had received 30-second doses of x-rays
produced flowers with nonshedding anthers.
Each year the new strain has continued true,
and the nonshedding property is considered a
fixed characteristic. The Roentgen lily is now
established as a variety of regal lily.
GOOD-BYE, GARBAGE CAN
THE oil furnace has placed the skids under

in a General Electric laboratory
promises to do away with the garbage can.
This new device, operated by a Jj-horsepower
electric motor, grinds the garbage. Grinding
knives made of Carboloy—a metal next to
diamond in hardness—shred all types of waste

AWARD FOR COURAGE
N the face of a difficult and serious com-
• petitive situation, the entire personnel
of the Tennessee Electric Power Company,
of Chattanooga, under the leadership of its
president, proceeded to develop one of the most
unique sales programs ever carried out by an
American public utility. Every individual in
the organization, regardless of position, be­came
a salesman for the company's kilowatt
output. One of the bases of this program was
a substantial reduction of rates. _Tne result
was a great increase in electric-appliance
sales, and a 26-per-cent increase in residential
consumption.
For its accomplishments, the Tennessee
Electric Power Company received the annual
award for 1934 of the Charles A. Coffin Founda­tion,
which was established by General Electric
in 1922 in honor of its first president. The
award comprises the Charles A. Coffin gold
medal, a certificate, and a check for $1000
to be deposited in the treasury of the utility's
employee welfare association.

Company of Nashville, Tennessee, has
been sent to the press and will soon
be ready for distribution among the
2199 enrolled students of Auburn.
The Directory is being published
this year, without cost to the students,
through the cooperation of the Glom-erata,
the Y. M. C. A., fraternities,
sororities, and the Registrar's office.'
The expense is being met in part by
assessments upon fraternities and so­rorities
for the listing of their mem­bers
and pledges and in part by the
Glomerata. It will contain several
pages of Glomerata advertising. The
data will be arranged differently from
last year's Directory in that the in­formation
will be presented on two
lines with two columns to each page.
Information as to the name, title,
office address, office telephone num­ber,
Auburn address, and residence
telephone number of the individuals of
the Administrative Staff and the Fac­ulty;
also the name, residence tele­phone
number, home address, class and

Inter-Frat Football
Is In Quarter-Finals
The inter-fraternity touch football
tourney advanced to the quarter-final
round with the playing of three games
on Drake Field on Sunday.
The strong S. A. E, outfit, playing
their first tournament game, com­pletely
outclassed Pi Kappa Phi to
win by the score of 25-0. The other
two games were much more closely
contested, Alpha Gamma Rho just
nosing out Kappa Alpha by the mar­gin
of 7-0 and A. T. 0. finally suc­cumbing
to S. P. E. 12-7.
In the upper bracket this week Del­ta
Sig meets Pi Kappa Alpha, while
Lambda Chi tangles with S. A. E. in
what promises to be the feature game
of the week's play.
Theta Chi will meet Alpha Gamma
Rho,' and Phi Delta Theta will at­tempt
to eliminate S. P. E. for the
semi final positions in the lower
bracket.
Those games must all be played be­fore
Sunday, Nov. 10, and the semi­finals
before Nov. 17.

The ball rolled across the goal, and
L. S. U. on a touchback gained posses­sion
on their 20-yard line.
Hitchcock intercepted one of Mick-al's
passes on Auburn's 20 and ran
it back to midfield. After this 33-
yard run, Fenton made 13 yards. Ju­nior
Morton stopped this drive by in­tercepting
Hitchcock's pass on his 29-
yard line.
L. S. U. again stopped Auburn in
this same period. Kilgore intercepted
Crass's pass and ran in 11 yards to
State's 23. L. S. U. held for downs.
With the exception of those few
threats the game developed into a
defensive affair. The two great lines
fought on even terms and as a result
no long runs were registered by either
side. Play was confined within the
20-yard strip. The play of Paterson
and Gilbert Was outstanding.
Thornhill Is Elected

Thief Caught By Girls
In Physical Education
It was a tough day for the young
Negro boy caught lifting purses from
the dressing room of the Girls' Gym
last Monday by members of the girls'
physical training class.
For some time the girls had been
missing meal tickets, money and other
valuables from the dressing room
while they were in class. Last Mon­day
the mystery was solved when two
of the girls met a Negro boy on his
way out of the dressing room with
a purse in his hand.
Before he even had a chance to bat
an eyelid, the boy was grabbed by
Miss Fannie Stollenwerck, assisted by
several members of the class, and beat
quite mercilessly, so the report goes.
An attempt was made to force him
into Miss Stollenwerck's car, but he
refused to budge.
A passing motorist was stopped,
and he took the boy to the police.
Although several purses have been re­covered,
there are still a few that have
not been found.

Pipe Lines that couldn't fail
and didn't. . . with -Linatwslaing
OVER the wastes and swamps of the Deltas
of the Mississippi River, pipe lines had to
be laid for a sulphur plant. Failure was unthink­able!
Once laid, these lines had to stand up . . .
without leakage or troubles that would jeop­ardize
operation of a costly investment. This
was the exacting demand that had to be met...
even though piling for the trestles to support
the line would sink 30 feet of its own weight.
Only one method of joining the piping for
these lines could meet such brutal specifications.
Lindewelding was the answer. From a past
record of thousands of miles of pipe lines laid
under all sorts of handicaps, Lindewelding had
proved itself the type of jointless construction
that would stand the gaff.
Lindewelding was used to install two 12 in.
water lines, one 6 in. oil line, and one 14 in.
gas line over miles of trestle. In addition, eight
miles of 6 in., 8 in. and 10 in. lines were installed
in the sulphur field running from the plant to
the wells and other points. After installation,
these fines were tested under 200 lb. water
pressure . . . without a leak!
TODAY, After a year's operation, the lines
have required no maintenance . . . developed
no leaks.
During design and construction, Linde en­gineers
extended to this company every co­operation
to insure» the most effective and
economical welding procedures. You also, can
get this kind of help when you need it; from
Linde Offices located in principal cities through­out
the country and at 30 East 42nd Street, New
York, N. Y. The Linde Air Products Company,
Unit of Union Carbide and Carbon Corporation.
*Lindewelding is a new method of oxy-acetylene weld­ing
developed by the Linde engineering and research
organizations. This method requires less oxygen, less
acetylene and less welding rod. Welds can be completed
in less time. Yet Lindewelding involves only a special
flame adjustment and a "back-hand" technique, to­gether
with Oxweld No. 24 Lindeweld Process Welding
Rod. When circumstances permit, the Multi-Flame
Lindeweld Head can be used to increase further the
speed of Lindewelding. This head costs $7.75. Linde­welding
is consistently saving 15 to 40 per cent in
welding time, rods and gases.
