Junior Group
Plans To End
Frat Line-ups
Twelve Members Of Junior
Class Meet To Discuss Plans
For Coming Spring Elections
Incomplete Grid Schedule
For Next Year Is Released
WILL MEET AGAIN
Aim To Break Power Held In
Past By Fraternities; Major­ity
Vote In Favor Of Plan
For the first time in Auburn's his­tory
of campus politics, a definite
move was taken last night by a dozen
members of the junior class to end the
well-established system of fraternity
"line-ups" which has proved to be a
powerful factor here in the past in the
election of all class officers.
Last night a meeting of approxi­mately
12 senior office aspirants of
the junior class was called for the
purpose of formulating a definite plan
of action.
For more than an hour a heated
discussion was held on the subject,
with all those present but one feeling
that a plan could be devised by which
fraternities would cease to hold the
power which they have in the past of
virtually deciding before the election
as to the candidates to fill the differ­ent
offices.
With a view toward a definite deci­sion
a second meeting will be held
Tuesday night at the Lambda Chi
House. Each fraternity on the cam­pus
will be represented by two mem­bers,
being if possible those planning
to participate in the coming spring
elections. According to present plans,
only members of the junior class are
included.
Thrashed out next Tuesday night
will be the plan that all office aspi­rants
in the junior class agree that
in the spring elections none shall af­filiate
with any fraternity "line-up".
In other words, each office seeker will
obtain support only through contact
with his class members. If such an
agreement is reached, there will be
no swapping of votes among the fra­ternities.
Each man will run the race
on his own initiative.
It is not hoped, as was evident in
the meeting last night, that all junior
office seekers will agree to the plan.
Effective 'operation, then, can be
reached only if a large majority agree.
Dr. Duncan To Award
Diplomas January 23
Thursday, January 23, is the date
designated for the annual mid-winter
commencement at Auburn. The hour
is 11 o'clock; the place the President's
office.
Like the commencement on the same
date last year, the exercises will be
very informal. Candidates who have
met the requirements for degrees will
receive them from President Duncan
following a brief message to them.
Friends of the graduates and a few
others will attend.
• A total of 26 students are now can­didates
for degrees at this commence­ment.
Of these, three are already employed
and at work. J. H. Jackson is teach­ing
vocational agriculture at LeRoy in
Washington County.
Mary Jim Enloe has been appointed
home demonstration agent for St.
Clair County,' where she will begin
her work after a period of training in
another county.
Ruth Dunn is teaching home eco­nomics
in Washington County.
It is understood that several others
have accepted offers to begin work im­mediately
after graduation.
A tentative 1936 football schedule
of six Southeastern Conference op­ponents
and one Dixie Conference op­ponent
has been announced by the
publicity department. Negotiations
are under way by Coach Meagher with
Santa Clara University on the Pacific
coast, Detroit University, and a game
with Loyola of the South, to be played
here on homecoming day, for games
to fill out a ten-game schedule. The
Santa Clara game would be played on
the coast but the location for the De­troit
game would be settled later.
The seven games that are assured
were on Auburn's schedule this last
season. Birmingham-Southern gets
the assignment as opening opponent
for the Tige r s a s usual. This game
will give Montgomery two tilts from
Auburn's schedule. The Tigers meet
Florida there on November 28th. So
far Birmingham has not received a
game, but there is a possibility that
the Detroit game will be played there,
or a change might be made in the lo­cation
of one of the games already*
scheduled.
Tulane follows Birmingham-South­ern
with the game scheduled in New
Orleans. Tennessee will be played in
Knoxille. The Georgia encounter has
been moved up from the last of No­vember
to October 24th. The setting
for this game is still Memorial Sta­dium
in Columbus. The Georgia Tech
Yellow Jackets follow with the game
scheduled for Grant Field in Atlanta.
L. S. U. founds out the seven definite
games.' This engagement will be held
in Baton Rouge.
The tentative games with Santa
Clara offers the Tigers their strongest
intersectional foe since their sensa­tional
conquest of Wisconsin in 1931.
This trip would be the longest ever
undertaken by an Auburn team and
the first time to appear on the coast.
Santa Clara usually has one of the
strongest teams west of the Mississip­pi.
Stanford, Rose Bowl winners,
were able to win over this eleven by
only a few points this season. Al­though
Detriot University is not in
one of the larger conferences, its
teams have always been strong. Loyola
has a team that should offer better
entertainment for homecoming stu­dents.
This team will take the place
of the game with Oglethorpe.
Auburn's schedule will again be one
of the most difficult attempted by
any Southeastern member. In Tulane,
Tennessee, Georgia, Georgia Tech, L.
S. U., and Florida the Tigers will face

To Speak At Next Meeting
Alvord Selected As
Ag Economics Head
Prof. Ben F. Alvord has been pro­moted
from acting head to head of
the department of agricultural eco­nomics.
He assumed the temporary
position when J. D. Pope, former head
of the department, resigned to go into
federal work in Washington, now with
the Resettlement Administration.
Mr. Alvord came to Auburn in 1929.
He received his B.S. and M.S. from
the University of Illinois. His work
is in both teaching and research.
Forty outstanding members of the
junior class have been selected for the
honorary organization formed for the
mid-terms. These men were selected
from every fraternity on the campus
to insure a representative group.
Plans are being made for this group
to enjoy a gala night Thursday, the
first day of the mid-term dances. The
evening dance has been bought by
them and two leadouts will be held in
their honor. Before the dance the
members of this society and their
dates are to be entertained at a ban­quet,
plans for which have not been
completed.
The juniors selected for this organi­zation
are as follows: Bill Weaver,
A. Mayville, John Maroney, Beverly
Basset Biggin, Mills Thornton, Vernon
Merritt, Ellis Dunning, Bob Coleman,
Earl Butler, Vernie Holloway, Char­ley

Sigma Phi, Secretary and Treas­urer.
Dividend Declared By
First National Bank
A six per cent dividend to stock­holders
of the First National Bank
was declared and paid at the annual
stockholders meeting^ Official reports
revealed that the bank is in excellent
conditions with assets totaling $340,-
000; and in the best condition in the
entire history of the bank.
The stockholders re-elected all nine
directors to serve during 1936, the
roster being, J. C. Grimes, W. W.
Hill, R. E. Hudson, John Huguley,
B. W. Jones, W. L. Long, C. Felton
Little, Homer Wright, and A. L.
Thomas.
These directors met immediately
and reelected all the officers as fol­lows:
C. Felton Little, president; W.
W. Hill, vice-president; A. L. Thomas,
chairman of the board; and G. H.
Wright, cashier.
At the monthly meeting of the of­ficers
of the Federated Engineering
Society Sunday afternoon, plans for
carrying out the second meeting of
the society were made. The tenta­tive
speaker for the meeting in Feb­ruary
will be a member of the per­sonnel
of the Tennessee Valley Au­thority.'-
An effort is being made to
obtain the chief speaker from this
organization.
The officials have been contacted
in an effort to obtain a speaker for
this occasion who' can give the en­gineering
students of Aubum a clear
picture of this mammoth undertaking
by the government. The officers of
the local society hope to obtain the
pictures showing the progress of the
different projects that the govern­ment
is showing to the societies of
the larger cities. This picture would
be shown in conjunction with the
speech.
The projects undertaken by the
government through the work of the
Tennessee Valley Authority has
drawn its share of print and discus­sion
in speeches. In this work every
phase of engineering has been used.
Employment has been given to many
of the Auburn graduates in this work.
The success obtained from the first
meeting of the engineering societies
gives assurance of the continued co-

Flying Club Here To
Be Visited By Swavy
Mr. Ralph Swavy, manager of the
Columbus, Ga., municipal airport and
southeastern representative of the
Taylor Aircraft Corp. will visit the
Auburn-Opelika airport on Saturday
in the interest of the Flying Club
which is now being formed here at
Auburn.
If present plans materialize the
Club will begin operation early next
semester, flying a plane which will
be supplied by Mr. Swavy. The fea­ture
of the plan proposed by Mr.
Swavy is that the club will be able
to fly a new plane at a fraction of
cost of buying one. Members will
have the use of the plane and the
privilege of obtaining flying time and
instruction at a greatly reduced rate.
Anyone interested in this plan will
be able to obtain full details from
Mr. Swavy at the airport Saturday
or from Jimmie Brown at the Sigma
Chi house. Also, anyone who desires
to take some flying time then may
do so at the regular rates.

McKissick Is Individual Star
For Auburn In Piling Up 7
Points; Passing Helps Vandy
Vandy flashed through to a 47 to 27
triumph against Auburn last night in
Nashville as the two schools opened
their 1936 Southeastern competition.
Willie Geny for the Commodores
made the first tally of the game fol­lowing
five minutes of rapid fire play­ing
when he sunk a free throw. Short­ly
after Joe Bob Mitchell countered
with a one-pointer for the Tigers.
Vandy added another, and then Blake
and McKissick both scored putting the
Plainsmen into a 5 to 2 lead.
At this point in the game Vandy
started their passing attack, pulling
into a comfortable lead which they
held for the remainder of the game.
Victory for the Commodores came
after they had lost nine successive
tilts to intersectional foes.
Tigers will meet Sewanee tonight
and tomorrow night in Sewanee.
Auburn is slight favorite to win over
the Purple.

Over Seven Inches
Rainfall Is Recorded
In Auburn To Date
During the first eight days of this
month more rainfall was recorded in
Auburn than has fallen in any entire
month of January since 1912. Through
Wednesday the total amount was 7.91
inches. The record for the entire
month was set in 1912 with 8.72 inches
being recorded.
Prof. J. M. Robinson, local govern­ment
meteorologist, revealed that only
four Januaries since 1858 have receiv­ed
as much rainfall for the month as
has been recorded to date for January
1936. The all-time record for any
single month was set in 1885 when
9.25 inches was recorded. Judging by
the exceedingly heavy rainfall already
this month, it is expected that all rec­ords
will be broken. To date the to­tal
amount is only two inches short
of the record for the month of Jan­uary
1885.
A measurable amount of rain has
been recorded in each of the first
eight days of this month. The heavi­est
for any single day was 3.67, Thurs­day,
January 2. The amounts record­ed
for each day is as follows: Wednes­day,
Jan. 1, .42; Thursday, 3.67; Fri­day,
.01; Saturday, .93; Sunday, .07;
Monday, .30; Tuesday, 1.99; and Wed­nesday,
.52.
The average annual rainfall for this
vicinity is approximately 45 inches.
T.K.A. Debate
Tourney Finals
Are Complete
The final debates of the tourney
sponsored by Tau Kappa Alpha',
national forensic fraternity, were
held Wednesday night in Samford
Hall. The debates were the run­offs
of deadlocks which resulted in
both the upperclassmen and fresh­man
tournaments, two teams being
tied in each group.
In the upperclass finals the team
composed of George Hairston and
David Cox defeated Dan Smith and
Morris Hall. The topic for this de­bate
was: "Resolved, That Congress
Should Have The Power By a Two-
Thirds Vote to Overrule Any De­cisions
of the Supreme Court Declar­ing
Laws Unconstitutional."
Billy McGehee and Edwin Godbold
were the successful team in the
freshman group, defeating the team
composed of John Dubberley and Wil­liam
Benefield on the topic: "Resolv­ed,
That the Several States Should
Adopt a System of Socialized Medi­cine".
Tau Kappa Alpha will present lov­ing
cups to the successful contestants
in the near future.

Rehearsals N ew Being Held On
Two Short Plays To Be Pro­duced
Early Next Month
Two short, one act plays are being
planned by members of the Auburn
Players to be given at the "Y" Hut
early next month. The first of these
is an original production entitled
"Swastica", a play concerning Hitler.
The cast has been completed except
for two roles.
The second play, Tchekoff's "The
Boor", will feature Willard Manry in
the leading role. Esther Weeks is the
young widow, Helena; and Morris
Schneider the servant, Luka. Rehear­sals
have been underway for three
weeks, and the cast promises a riotous
exhibition of Russian farce of the old
order.
All members of the Players will
meet at the "Y" Hut Monday night,
Jan. 27, for the selection of a second
semester production. The play, "Lady
Windermere's Fan", was dropped be­cause
the 'staff did not feel itself capa­ble
of depicting Wilde's smartness.
With the money given the Players
recently by the Executive Cabinet new
equipment is constantly being added
as the need arises.
Advance notice is to the effect that
Tony Sarg's Marionnette troupe may
appear in Auburn in the near future.
Sarg and his troupe performed here
last year in Langdon Hall to a capa­city
audience.
Many Greek Chapter
Teams Will Compete
Soon In Tournament
Arrangements are now underway
for the yearly interfraternity basket­ball
tournament which will start im­mediately
with 21 fraternities compet­ing.
Mr. Elmer G. Salter will referee
"all tournament games. Due to the ex­isting
conditions for practice, the time
for completion of each round will be
published as soon as it is possible to
ascertain the time required for the
teams to prepare themselves for tour­ney
play.
The fraternities competing in the
tournament may practice anytime up
to 3 o'clock every afternoon provided
no gym classes are being held and
8:30 every night or as soon as the'
freshman squad is through. The gym
may be used when the freshmen and
varsity are away but under no condi­tions
is the girls' gym to be used.
Arrangements may be made with Mr.

Survey Held By College
Reveals Lack Of Rooms
With more than 95 per cent of the
available rooming space in Auburn for
Students now occupied, college offi­cials
are turning their attention to
"ways and means" for increasing
these facilities before the opening of
the next regular session in September,
1936.
A recent survey reveals that very
few available rooms are unoccupied,
the majority of these having disad­vantages
as to location or otherwise.
"It is obvious," said P. O. Davis,
executive secretary, "that Auburn
cannot expect a big increase in enroll­ment
next esssion unless more houses
are built or more rooms made avail­able.
Our increase of almost 25 per
cent this year has about filled the town
to capacity. Unless more rooms are
made for students we can't expect
next year more than five per cent in­crease
over this. The college does not
have money to build dormitories which
means that we must depend, for the
time being, upon fraternities and the
citizens of Auburn to provide more
rooms for students."
It is understood that one of the
fraternities expects to add room for
six freshmen next year. This will be
done at a small cost to the fraternity
which owns a home that lends itself
to this minor adjustment.
It is believed that owners of homes
in Auburn may be interested in pro­viding
additional quarters to house
students. Last summer one citizen of
Auburn arranged for a cottage to be
built in his back yard, and students
are now living in it. The idea may
spread to others.'
"One of the big disadavntages to
students in obtaining an education at
Auburn," continued Mr. Davis, "is
that they live in small groups. The
two college dormitories in Auburn are
not big. They house only about 7
per cent of the students who are en­rolled
this session. Others live in fra­ternities,
boarding houses, and private
(Continued on page 4)
Because of inclement weather and
the probable wet condition of Bullard
Field on next Wednesday, the Gym­khana
will be held in the horse show
jumping paddock, located to the south­west
of the riding pens at the artillery
stables.
Entrance to the improvised field
will be by way of the south gate at
the stables. Those attending the ris­ing
exhibition will be directed to the
field by guides. There will be an
ample parking space for cars as well
as a number of bleachers for specta­tors.
Practice for the different events has
been held in spite of bad weather dur­ing
the past week, and judging by the
large number of entrants in the va­rious
events, it is expected that com­petition
will be especially keen this
year. Twenty-one entrants have sign­ed
to participate in the ladies jumping,
and 32 in the exhibition ride by mem-bers
of the ladies riding classes.
To date the junior wrestling team
appears to have a slight edge over the
senior teams, according to Capt. W.
J. Klepinger, who is in charge of the
Gymkhana. The ladies jumping event
is expected to be the most keenly con­tested
of all as 21 have signified of
their intention to participate. Some
will have to be eliminated because of
.the limited number of jumping horses.
Probably the most popular event of
the show will be the Gretna Green

Auburn-Alabama Frat
Game Not To Be Held
The proposed touch football game
between the winners of the inter­fraternity
tournaments at Auburn
and the University of Alabama has
been definitely cancelled, according
to word received here from the Uni­versity.
Official sanction had been given
the game by President L. N. Duncan
and all that was lacking was the
approval of the University officials.
The excuse given was that nearness
of the mid-term examinations would
make the playing of the game im­possible.
The game between the winners of
the two tournaments was designed
as a furtherance in the steps toward
a renewal of athletic relations of the
schools. Next year the Interfrater­nity
Council intends to lay plans for
such a contest earlier in the year and
include an appropriation for this pur­pose
in its budget.
The 11th annual Spring High
School Tournament will be held at
Auburn on Friday and Saturday,
April 10 and 11, it was announced to­day
by Prof. J. R. Rutland, head
professor of English at the Alabama
Polytechnic Institute.
On the basis of attendance during
past year, more than 300 high school
students from all parts of the State
will come to Auburn for the contests.
In addition to competition in one-act
plays there will be contests in speech,
writing, music, journalism, and art.
Handsome prizes will go to winners in
all events.
Serving as general chairman in
charge of arrangements for the tour­nament
will be Dr. Leo Gosser. He
will be assisted by the entire English
department staff. In specific charge
of the various contests will be Prof.
E. R. Blackshear, dramatics; Prof.
E. D. Hess, speech; Dr. Charles W.
Weaver, writing; Lawrence Barnett,
music; Prof. Joseph E. Roop, journal­ism;
and Prof. Frank W. Applebee,
art.
Speech contests will consist of poe-x
try reading and prepared and im- '
promptu speeches. Contestants in
writing will compose a 1,000 word
paper; in music there will be contests
in boys' and girls' vocal solos, piano,
and violin; in journalism there will be
competition in editorial writing and
an award sponsored by the Auburn
Plainsman will go to the best high
school paper; a*t contests will consist
of freehand draVing and design.
"These contests stimulate high
school pupils to better taste in litera­ture
and drama and motivate much of
the work which is required in English,
speech, dramatics, music, and art,"
said Professor Rutland in a communi­cation
this week to all Alabama teach­ers
of English. Entries in the tour­nament
may be arranged by writing
to Professor Rutland.
Prof. Hixon Featured
In Mechanicals Meet
For a period of forty-five minutes
last night, C. R. Hixon, professor of
mechanical engineering, entertained
the meeting of the American Institute
of Electrical Engineers with magical
tricks, and a short talk on the per­fecting
of magic as his hobby since
childhood days.
In carriyng put a series of pro­grams
that will not be on technical
operations, but purely for entertain­ment;
Professor Hixon was obtained
to give some sleight-of-hand tricks
before the meeting of 40 students.
In beginning, Prof. Hixon told how
he was practically charmed by the
first magician's show that he attend­ed
back in the old home town, many
years ago. From that day he resolv­ed
to learn some "black magic" tricks.
He obtained his first book on magic
from Sears, Roebuck, and Co., and
by his own efforts, he learned quite
a few tricks. Some of these tricks
that he learned included the art of
hypnotism, and the mastering of Hou-dini's
tricks of releasing himself from
locks and chains, handcuffs,.and leg-irons.
At the meeting, Prof. Hixon de­monstrated
his ability with a few
card tricks, and the hypnotising of
limbs of the body so they become
useless. His hypnotising act was per­formed
on four boys who volunteered
to be subjects.

Hanging On A Limb
The decision of the Supreme Court last
Monday, relegating the triple A to the ash
can, has caused considerable confusion in
the ranks of the administration. The meas­ure
appeared on the surface to be working
smoothly and fulfilling the purpose for
which it was intended. A vast and intricate
system had been working at full speed to
carry out the program. Now, it is hanging
on a limb.
There can be no doubt that the AAA
benefitted the South. It helped in a degree
to lend a hand to the farmers and cotton
growers in particulafcto weather the bumps
of the depression. True enough, the AAA
has borne the brunt of severe criticism,
some of which was justified along with the
grumbling of dissatisfied individuals whose
toes were trod upon. But in the main the
measure helped the greater majority, more
or less.
The Bankhead set-up in Auburn was a
part of the AAA program. Following the
Court decision, Bankhead workers were told
that they didn't have a job any more. Many
of these will leave Auburn in search of
something else. Though the number em­ployed
on the project in Auburn was not
large, each worker lived in Auburn and
helped in a measurable way to contribute to­ward
the well-being of the community.
It is the contention of those employed
in an executive capacity on the Bankhead
program here that the administration will
set to work shortly to formulate a new set­up
to take the place of the AAA and that
work will continue as though nothing had
happened. Whether this is possible or not,
remains to be seen, though it is highly pro­bable
that it will take some time before
an entirely new agricultural program can be
passed by Congress and put into operation.
Causes Neck Pains
There are many situations in the news­paper
game that call for a bit of hair
pulling. Such as when the deadline ap­proaches
and the type setter says there are
three more galleys to be filled, or when a
reporter fails to cover an important story.
Even the dictionary has a way of evading
any effort to find it, and the shears are
never in the proper place. Such seems to
be characteristic of most any newspaper
office. Nobody knows which end is up until
the paper rolls off the press.
But even though things are running hours
behind schedule and staff members are dash­ing
around in circles, there is one point that
is forever kept uppermost in the minds of
those-whose duty it is to get out the paper—
that is the matter of accuracy. A news
story may be beautifully written and con­form
to all rules, but unless that story is
accurate it is worse than useless. By far
the most undesirable task that befalls any
editor is the writing of corrections for
stories that have appeared in previous is­sues
of the paper. It causes a decided pain
in the neck.
The Plainsman, as well as any newspaper
regarduess of size, desires above all the
faith of its readers. This is possible only
through the accurate reporting of news..
When the vast amount of written material
handled by the average newspaper every
day is taken into consideration, it is no
small wonder that they are as accurate as
they are.
At one time this year the Plainsman was
called upon to make a correction of a pre­vious
story that contained numerous facts.
The mistakes were made through no fault
of the Plainsman. In this instance, the
person of authority from whom the story
was obtained had given the wrong facts.
Naturally, it would be impossible to make
a double check on all such stories of this
nature.
Another instance is recalled when last
year several complaints were received at
the Plainsman office about gross inaccuries
in several running news stories on one par­ticular
subject. Upon investigation it was
discovered that the person writing the sto­ries,
not knowing the correct spelling of the
names and none of the initials had simply
guessed without taking the trouble to make
sure. The Plainsman was the target for
criticism, when truly it should have been
placed upon one who had been given the
responsibility of getting in an accurate ac­count
of the happenings.
It is only natural to make mistakes. We
are not here attempting to absolve ourselves
from any blame but are attempting to show
how in many instances the underlying cause
for the mistakes lies beyond the Plainsman.
Auburn's Finances
The impression prevails among some
away from Auburn that faculty salaries at
the Alabama Polytechnic Institute are being
paid in full. This has not been done since
October, 1932. That fiscal year, 1932-33,
faculty salaries were paid to the extent of
45 per cent of the budgeted amount which
represented a reduction of 10 per cent. The
next year, 1933-34, the figure of 66 per
cent was reached, and the following year,
1934-35, it was 85 per cent.
Present indications are that it will be
substantially less this fiscal year,—October
1, 1935 to September 30,1936. In fact, pay­ments
to date are being made on a basis of
60 per cent for the year. Even this it not
guaranteed.
To illustrate the above, a professor who
was getting $2,400 per year was reduced
10 per cent or to $2,160. During the school
year of 1932-33 he received 45 per cent of
this, or a total of $972; the next year he
received 66 per cent, or a total of $1,425.60;
and last year (October 1, 1934 to September
30, 1935) he received 85 per cent, or a total
of $1,836. At the present rate the total
this year will be $1,296.
Obviously the Auburn faculty has been
and is being penalized beyond all reason.
At the end of each fiscal year, since Octo­ber
1932, the State has simply washed out
all unpaid obligations and said, in effect,
"the State owes no more." The Auburn
faculty had been penalized approximately
$410,000.00 up to September 30, 1935.
A vital question now is: How long will
this continue.—Auburn Alumnus.
Radicalism In Colleges
A great deal of attention has been focus­ed,
of late, on the spread of radicalism and
communism in our colleges and universities.
Thus far Auburn has been fortunate in
not having students of this ilk enrolled in
her schools. Nevertheless, this subject
should be of interest to every student, pro­fessor,
or executive connected with the col­lege.
It is a constant, and menacing, threat
to the individuality of the college and its
personnel.
Our argument is not with radicalism and
communism as such, but rather with their
attempts to foist themselves on the insti­tutions
of higher learning in this country.
The writer has in mind the results of an
investigation, made by one of the leading
periodicals, following an outburst of agi­tation
at one of the mid-western universi­ties.
This report, the authenticity and fair­ness
of which can hardly be questioned,
showed that paid organizers were detailed
to many of the major universities to spread
their doctrines of riot and radicalism. Need­less
to say, these organizations met with
more than moderate success. So successful
were they, in fact, that they succeeded in
mulching the father of one of the students
at the aforementioned school for several
thousand dollars before he had regained his
senses long enough to expose them to the
newspapers. The police were unable to hold
a charge against the leaders.
We do not advocate that our colleges be­come
convent-like in the administration of
their student's extra-curricular activities,
but we do maintain that the authorities owe
it to their schools to protect them from the
inroads of organized mobs of agitators.—

Another man as nice as he.

* * * * THAT the feeling concerning the de­linquency
of the meeting of appro­priations
for Auburn has become more
than an issue concerning merely the unpaid
instructors was revealed in the mid-week
issue of the Plainsman.
Since the students cannot fully realize
the difficulties of professors not receiving
even fifty per cent of their salary, they
have not said much concerning the situation.
But the upshot of this condition is swiftly
coming home to each student of the insti­tution.
It is becoming a personal matter
with every student enrolled in all schools at
Auburn.
As was intimated before in this column,
there are certain professors who, because of
their remarkable store of information, ex­cellency
of character and genuine ability
to put acoss the subjects they teach, demand
the utmost respect and admiration of their
students. These are the men of the institu­tion
which are contributing to that phase
of a student's college life which goes far
beyond leading men and wpmen through
three hour courses. They are most than
necessary wheels in the machinery of an
educational institution. The example of such
men, their ability, conscientiousness, and
straight shooting make them hold a position
entailing far more responsibility than mere
academic direction. College students, though
supposedly past the age of impressionism,
are remarkably impressed by professors
who demand such respect.
But the unfortunate part of this whole
situation is that these are the very men
who are most needed in the business world
and when living on a fictitious professor's
salary becomes impossible, they have to go
to something which will afford them a livli-hood.
This is just the kind of loss which Au­burn
is going to begin feeling with the
opening of the second semester of this year.
The student's of Auburn feel such loss.
There is not one student who would for a
moment blame the professor for going to
some work more beneficial to him, but the
loss of one such man is not the loss of one
individual, but of the entire group who
would benefit from association with him if
he stayed here in the capacity of a pro­fessor.
This situation we would like to place be­fore
the citizens of the State of Alabama.
If • the present situation continues, just
where will Auburn be in two more years?
As conditions improve and the powers to be
in the State "find a way" to assure Auburn
a larger part of her appropriation there
will be a' difficulty in regaining these men
who-have the qualities possessed by the men
we are losing because of present conditions.
Let it be known that not only Auburn
professors, but Auburn students realize
what is happening to the institution. May
all Alabama realize this situation and not
be satisfied until something definite is done
to prevent the materializing of the disas­trous
effects .staring us in the face.
SPASMODIC SPUTTERINGS OF A
TEMPERAMENTAL TROUBADOUR
Dear heart o' mine, I pine and pine,
And pine and pine and pine.
For only you, and good home-brew,
And wine and wine and wine.
The deed is done, my heart is won,
By Cupid's piercing dart.
To be exact, my churn is cracked,
Likewise my fragile heart.
Now Spring are sprung, flannels flung
Out on the balmy breeze.
The winds blow free, so heave alee,
Or else my tosies freeze.
Exams are nigh, I heave a sigh,
As masons heave a brick.
But better still, to heave a "pill",
Or wield a willow stick.
I long for love, and skies above,
And pretzels by the peck,
But better yet, some gal to pet,
And just a little neck.
The rain falls free, on house and tree,
To irk me into wrath.
It matters not, since out I trot,
And take my nightly bath.
The roommate groans, somebody phones;
To hell with all the frolic.
The noise about, must come from gout,
Or else the painter's colic.
The Crosley howls, and spits and growls,
A song of sun and moon,
Ye Gods I groan, if that is tone,
Then cows likewise can croon.
I hear some bumps-^not made by chumps
High up above my head.
It's three o'clock, off comes a sock,
And I am now in bed.

Sez You!
What is your opinion—if any—of
Roosevelt and the New Deal?
This question was asked to about one
hundred and fifty or two hundred students
picked at random to find how the "student
opinion" really ran. Most of the people
questioned who had formed any opinion
(you'd be surprised the number that, when
asked merely looked blank and said that
they hadn't formed any opinion or that they
didn't know anything at all about it)
thought that Roosevelt and the New Deal
or Roosevelt through the New Deal had been
the savior of the nation, the ones that were
against it were those far seeing ones who
saw in the future a great national debt that
they and their children and maybe their
children's children would be taxed unmer­cifully
to pay. Co-eds had little or no con­ception
of what the New Deal was doing for
or to our country, about their most intelli­gent
answer was that they were crazy about
the President for he had* such a nice voice
over the radio.
Several of the engineers were very much
concerned over the outcome of the Presi­dent's
fight on the utility companies. The
general concensus of opinion was that the
New Deal has helped—particularly the la­boring
classes—that Roosevelt has at least
tried and done about as well as anyone else
could have done—more should have been
done for the "white collar" class—and there
seems to be a great deal of doubt that the
good that has been done has been worth
the price.
Space won't permit very many individual
answers, but here are a few:
J. T. Maroney, Jr., Birmingham, Junior
in Engineering School: "One of the best
plans ever initiated in this country."
Nich Piccione, Brooklyn, N. Y., Junior in
Engineering: "It's a damned flop. Look at
the debts that are piled up for us to pay."
Marshal H. Brawner, Waverly, Pre-Med
Junior: "I think that the New Deal has
helped."

Letters to the Editor
Editor, The Plainsman
Dear Sir:—
The Executive Council has been consider­ing
several changes in the scholastic system,
which will affect all of us; and many stu­dents
apparently have not heard of the pro­posed
changes.
As I understand, each student who at­tains
a scholastic average of 85 or above
will be placed on a "Dean's List". With his
name on that list, class attendance will be
optional. In order to insure full attendance
at quizzes, instructors will be required to
announce quizzes one week in advance.
All students with whom I have talked
seem to be greatly in favor of such a plan.
It would cause a greater incentive for study
on every hand, students with low averages
working to be placed on the Dean's List and
those with the higher averages working to
remain there.
It is hoped that this letter will start a
general discussion which will eventually let
the Council know our opinion of the matter.
Yours very truly,
A Junior.

' * * * * WELL, about the dance again. A
fair way to determine as to wheth­er
or whether not you will like the
band selected for the dances is to unclasp
one of your dollars, the Society Hill Lassies
didn't get (fun), for the Friday morning
dance. It will only cost you a dollar, you
will get three dollars worth of fun and good
music, and meet some very fine people.
* * * *
Joe Sanders still has the record of the
longest run at the Black Hawk. Five
straight years. And the Blackhawk has
seen some mighty fine orchestras.
* * * *
It would be worth a dollar of your money
just to meet the little girl who is going to
lead the dances. She can't help it if she
hasn't red hair, but otherwise she is all
satin and altogether all there.
* * * *
Oh, I have been saving this ten dollars
for a long time. After all, I should write
two thousand words on the dances or any­thing
else for a measley ten dollars. After
hitting twenty-five for 1350 words one time.
* * * *
And that particular co-ed you have been
wanting to get a date with all year and
haven't because of fourteen other guys:
Now is your chance to hold her as tight as
any of the others have held her. Of course
you will be expected to dance while doing
the holding, but there is nothing in the
world to prevent your closing your eyes
and imagining you have at last outdistanced
the other fourteen.
* * * *
All for a dollar, and at least ten of the
fourteen have spent twenty times that much
since the opening of school just getting her
to agree to go to another show.
* * * *
And there is nothing in the way of dress
reform to prevent your wearing hobnail
boots and stepping on, the feet of people you
don't like. There is nothing like a good
dance to really get to know a person, you
know.
* * * *
Those of you who do go to the dances,
and stay sober long enough, and get to
know Joe Sanders will see just how it is he
has stayed on the top for so long.
Perhaps the best band to have ever played
here, and also perhaps the best band that
will ever play here, was Jimmy Green's band
Kay Kyser's various singers couldn't hold a
candle to his six singers. The Frankie
Aquino could beat Lee Bennett (Garber)
a mile, and Jack Wedell could sing rings
around Sully Mason (Kyser). But where
is Greene today?
If you will do a bit of checking up you
will see that none other than the Old Left
Hander, Joe Sanders, has been on the top
(and will remain) longer than any other
orchestra you can think up. That old Coon-
Sanders band was keeping me up listening
to one tube radios long before I ever so
much as heard of Guy Lombardo, Jan Gar­ber,
Casa Loma, Fio Rio Rita, Hal Kemp,
or any of the rest.
* * * *
I'm not trying to sell Joe Sanders to any
one of you. He probably wouldn't like you.
All I am doing here, of course, is writing
a column, and because of I couldn't think
of anything else to write about tonight I am
doing a bit more on C. W. Walter's band
selection. I have already done my official
comment on the selection . . . that official
comment taking place every year before
the dances . . . being particularly drastic
when some enterprising chairman ran in
Boulanger on us here one May.
* * * *
Sanders will be better than Boulanger.
Better than Kay Kyser. Not so good as
Jimmy Greene. But better than any other
orchestra in the country today with the ex­ception
of Lombardo.,
* * * *
Everything is very fine and all that, but
if anyone mentions Phil Harris for the

money.

Entire Last Year's Team Of 15
Members Practically Intact;
New Rifle Range Completed
Saturday the R. 0. T. C. rifle team
complete a six-week's elimination pe­riod
in preparation for what Lt. H.
W. Ehrgott, coach, expects to be one
of the most successful seasons in
years.
The entire last year's team of 15
members is practically intact, having
lost only two men through gradua­tion,
and Chapman who is not taking
advanced R.O.T.C.
Included in the list of old team
member shooting this year are: Bran­son,
Callaway, Booth, Dexter, Harde­man,
Lee, Pannell, Rich, Strickland,
Tqmlinson, Swenson, Wilkes, and Nat
Bradford, team captain.
In addition to the above the elim­inations
have uncovered a number
of promising prospects, among them
being Howard, Golightly, Shoaf, and
•Ellis. As a result of this week's elim­ination
the squad will be cut to ap­proximately
30 members, who will
make up the team for the remainder
of the season.
Following the two week's layoff
during the examinations, the team
will enter its competition period in
postal matches against 12 colleges
throughout the country.
The following is a tentative sche­dule
of matches to be participated in
this year: For the two weeks ending
Feb. 14, postal matches; week ending
Feb. 22, Corps Area Match; week
ending Feb. 29, eight postal matches;
week ending March 7, Southeastern
shoulder-to-shoulder matches proba­bly
at Auburn; week ending March
21, Hearst Trophy Match; week end­ing
April 4, five postal matches; and
week ending April 15, same match.

• Auburn will be the scene of only
four conference basketball games ac­cording
to a tentative schedule as
announced recently.
Outside of practice games with
athletic teams, the Plainsmen began
their season with an engagement with
Vanderbilt last night. Tonight and
tomorrow night, the Tigers continue
the schedule with a two-game series
with Sewanee at Sewanee.
After the series with Sewanee, the
Bengal quint goes to Birmingham for
a tilt with Birmingham-Southern,
after which they again engage Vandy,
this time in Montgomery. Georgia
Tech follows next with the game
being played in Auburn. The day
following brings Sewanee to Auburn
for a two-game series. Then comes
Georgia to Auburn for an engage­ment,
after which the Plainsmen go
to Atlanta for a tilt with Georgia
Tech. Following the Tech game, the
Jordanmen again travel, this time to
Gainsville for a two-game series with
Florida, which marks the close of the
schedule.
On February 28th, 29th, and March
2nd, the Tigers go to Knoxville for
the annual S. E. C. tournament meet.
The present schedule indicates that
Auburn will meet five Southeastern
Conference teams in twelve games
before the annual tournament in
Knoxville.
The complete schedule follows:
January 9th. Vanderbilt at Nash­ville.
January 10 and 11th. Sewanee at
Sewanee.
January 24th. Birmingham-South­ern
at Birmingham.
January 25th. Vanderbilt at Mont­gomery.
February 4th. Georgia Tech at
Auburn.
February 10 and 11th. Sewanee
at Auburn.
February 15th. Georgia at Au­burn.
February 19th. Georgia Tech at

If Coach Meagher is successful in
scheduling the game with Santa
Clara, the Tigers will be faced with
a golden opportunity to gain national
recognition. Auburn has prospects
of having the strongest team in the
nation next season. If the Tigers
can go through the season undefeat­ed
and make an impressive showing
against this strong Pacific coast team,
they will have a great chance to re­ceive
national honors and possibly
Rose Bowl consideration. The show­ing

Since the last issue of the Plainsman, the officials of the Southeastern
Conference at their Atlanta meet came out into the open on the question
of subsidization. This move was made to offer scholarships to worthy high
school athletes. The officials left the execution of the plans up to the
schools with only a sporting restriction.
This move brought pro and con discussion from every section of the
nation. All athletic officials know the plan will offer benefits, but some are
afraid that it might be carried beyond the sporting stage. This is possible,
but subsidizing has been used by nearly every school in some form. With
an open policy it seems that the true benefits can be derived in a more
satisfactory manner than through secret methods.
The only searching innvestiga-tion
of subsidization so far has
been the Carnegie report. This
report checked this practice for a
few years, but now modern foot­ball
has turned away from the old
fashioned practices. Modern cus­tomers
want strong teams. Finan­cial
help can go 'far in maintain­ing
teams of equal strength.
The high school player has just as
much right to financial help as the
other scholarship recipients. The ath­letic
student doesn't have the time
to devote to study that some of the
other students have, but even with
this handicap their records compare

Preparation for coming examina­tions
has hampered practice of inter-fraternity
basketball teams, but a
lot of interest has been shown and
when the regular season gets under
way after the start of the second
•semester, the race should be interest­ing.
It seems that the Alpha Gamma

Chi teams will have a tough time up­holding
the records they made last
year in doming out on top as the
strongest teams on the campus.

as one of. the three best in the coun­try
at his position. His two leading
competitors for ail-American honors
this year, Darrell Lester, T. C. U.,
and Gomer Jones, Ohio State, have
completed their college careers and
Gilbert will lead the Tigers into ac­tion
against Birmingham-Southern in
Montgomery next September topping
the snapperbacks in the nation.
Gilbert's name has figured prom­inently
in every all-star race held this
year and his all-round ability prob­ably
advances him into the center
post on Auburn's all-time football
eleven. He is Auburn's foremost
center in over a decade and it is a
safe bet to say he would outrank any
Tiger pivot ace before 1924 if a fair
comparison could be made. His
coach, Jack Meagher, pays him the
tribute of placing him in the top
position of all the brilliant centers
he has ever seen play.
Nearly as valuable to the team as
Gilbert, Gantt was ranked by his
coaches as the most outstanding
guard in Dixie. He was a sensational
center in prep school at Georgia Mil­itary
College at Milledgeville, Ga.,
and has a record of blocking 16 kicks
in one season. He blocked the punt
that enabled Auburn to win a 7-0
decision over Duke this year and
flashed consistently throughout the
1935 campaign on both the offense
and defense. He has been playing
guard less than two sasons.

Birmingham-Southern will be a great­ly

B. S. U. Students Plan
Schedule For Season
The Council members of the Bap­tist
Student Union recently held a
winter retreat at Camp Villa for the
purpose of formulating plans for the
next school term. Also, at the fourth
southwide Baptist Training Union
Conference, which was held in Bir­mingham
December 31-Jan. 3, Au­burn
was represented by four mem­bers
of the B.S.U.
At the Spring Villa retreat, plans
were made to carry out at least one
objective a month. Beginning with
January, the first objective to be
reached is to secure a quota of "Bap­tist
Student" subscriptions, and to
give a reception for the new and old
students Jan. 31.
For February, the chief goal is to
hold a Student Evangelistic Week
which will be led by some outside
speaker, and to elect and install new
B. Y. P. U. and Sunday School of­ficers
; March, to hold a Study Course
Week by outside leaders.
" The week of April 12-18 has been
designated as Vocational Emphasis
week. Talks will be made and ar­ticles
published on different pro­fessions
and vocations, in order to
aid the student in the understanding
of his chosen field of work. Also,
during April, the annual B. S. U.
banquet will be held, and a drive
to get 20 Auburn students to attend
Ridgecrest this summer.

Latest News Events
Among those characteristics of a
man which determine what he shall be
in life, where he shall stand—in his
own eyes, as well as in those of the
world—there is none greater than a
sense of honor. So entangled with
reputation, with fame, with greatness,
has this quality become, that it is al­most
impossible to couch its meaning
in a few words. To say that honor is
"a nice sense of what is right" is true
enough, but how much that leaves un­said!
True honor, evading concrete
definition, is an abstract something
which is essential to integrity and
self-esteem in any moral being. Neces­sarily,
then, it accompanies success in
any field of endeavor.
We cannot separate honor, in its
true sense, from the individual. It is
no mass action, nor yet is it a restric­tion,
levied upon one man by another.
HONOR, LIKE CONSCIENCE IS
AN INDIVIDUAL CONCEPT, AN
INNER FEELING WHICH CAN
ARISE ONLY IN THE HEART
AND SOtf L OF THE INDIVIDUAL.
A man must judge for himself what
is right, what is wrong. Custom, pre­cedent,
environment—these can point
out to him many honorable actions.
It is for him alone to build and cherish
for himself a sense of honor. In that
way only can he choose the right, the
noble way of life.
Often, it is said, "He is an honor­able
man." What does that mean?
Simply that the one referred to is an
HONEST man—honest in all his do­ings,
in all his actions, and, what is
more, in all his thoughts. The man
of honor esteems his moral health too
much to lower himself willingly to
any act that may seem base. He is
true to himself and values honor for
its highest meaning—that of an exalt­ed
tribute of respect and reverence.
He shrinks from wrong-doing with his
whole strength. There can be no real
success in life unless it is accompanied
by this high sense of honor. We need
go no further than our own profession
to realize this truth. Military men
the world over ..value honor for its
sterling worth, its vital force in any
army, its power to make something
or nothing of a man.
"Duty", said General Lee, "is the
sublimest word in the English lan­guage".
In so saying he gave voice
to one of the fundamental attributes
of a soldier. Even he, however, would
have had to go further in order to des­cribe
more completely the characteris­tics
of that profession so aptly called
"the service". For, as duty is his
watchword, and glory his^ pride, so
also has it been truly said, " . . . THE
SOLDIER'S WEALTH IS HIS HON­OR".
It is as valuable as his rifle.'
To say more, it is the clasp pin of
every star that ever graced a general's
shoulder.
Around honor, however, even as
around virtue and self-esteem, parasit­ic
growths of erroneous ideas have
flourished. Chief among these is the
shallow selfishness, the superficial
conceit, which precipitates men into
acts by which they imagine themselves
"avenged" for some insult. True, the
same self-esteem which makes him
what he is, will forbid—and rightly
s 0—the honorable man from submit­ting
to wrongs from others; but to a
true man of honor, that can never be
as great as his own repulsion of base­ness.
Duelling, once condoned as an
"affair of honor" has long since pass­ed.
It should, for such affairs were
never honorable.
WHEN CAREFUL THOUGHT IS
GIVEN TO THE MATTER, WHO
CAN DENY THAT A MAN'S HON­OR
IS HARMED EVER SO SLIGHT­LY
BY THE OFFENSE OF AN­OTHER,
COMPARED TO THE
MORTAL BLOWS WHICH IT RE­CEIVES
FROM THE SMALLEST
MEANNESS, OR BASENESS, IN
HIS OWN ACTS?
Hot tempered words which seem to
reflect on one's honor are easily for­gotten;
stains which one's own acts
cast on his honor may never be erased.
In the truly communistic form of
life, the ideal government allows each
man to be a law unto himself. If
everyone had the. same ideal sense of
justice, this theory would be practica­ble.
However, we know that laws and
police protection are necessary, be­cause
there are some whose standards
are not high enough to make them
law abiding citizens; whose honesty
is below that required for the peace
and security of society. To preserve
the community, the majority has to
formulate laws and require that every­one
obey them.
So with honor. That high sense
which should tell every man the dif­ference
between right and wrong is
found lacking in some individuals.
The "why" is not always apparent.
Because of some slip in early life from
which unforeseen habits have grown,
some mental catch, or perhaps simply
from innate baseness, some men are
without honor and unfit, therefore, to
associate with their fellows.
IT IS FOR GENERAL PROTEC­TION
THAT HONOR CODES ARE
EVOLVED.
Often they represent a strength of
feeling which nothing else could re­place.
The Honor System represents
the best thought which the students
of various schools have been able to
give to the subject. However, no
Honor System, or Code, can be "estab­lished"—
in the sense that a bridge is
constructed, or a building is erected.
Nor can it be simply "built" and plac­ed
in position, as some automatic ma­chine,
to do some work mechanically.
It must spring from the brains and,
yes, the hearts of those who live by
it. It must be lived up to in order to
endure. It can be no stronger than
its makers, than those who place them­selves
"on their honor"—an inalien­able
right possessed only by those who
would make of their honor the rever­enced
and respected force that it
should be.
iA ou** own life, successful examples
of the application of honor and the
precents of an Honor Code are offered
in the Army in general and in West
Point in particular. The honor of the
corps is unquestioned. In strength
and permanency it ranks with the
granite of. West Point's buildings.
Passed down "the long gray line" from
hand to hand, it represents that ideal
for which every C^det strives to live.
It represents the thought and right
actions of all those men who have gone
out of West Point's portals. To sin
against'it is to sin against one's self.
To violate its principles, to stain its
record, is to outlaw one's self from the
Corps and the Academy.
Yet, it is not inconceivable for man
to fail to live up to the Honor Code of
the Corps. Perhaps some do not come
to West Point with the high ideals
which are demanded of them. IF
THEY CANNOT ACQUIRE THESE
IDEALS, IF THEY CANNOT
MAKE OF THEMSELVES "HON­ORABLE
MEN" IN THE EYES OF
THE CORPS, THEN THEY ARE
NOT WANTED, AND WILL NOT
LONG/REMAIN AT THE MILITA­RY
ACADEMY.
Such is honor, and such is its ap­plication
at West Point. As one of
the cardinal principles of a soldier, of
an officer and of a gentleman, it
should be the first and foremost char­acteristic
of a Cadet. An honorable
man, impoverished though he may be
in talent, cannot fail to attain success
and a high standing in the eyes of
the world. A dishonorable man,
though he be possessed of a multitude
of abilities, cannot hope to escape for
long the condemnation of his fellow
men.

homes. These are natural conditions
under which students like to live and
should live.
"We are very hopeful, of course,
that student rooms and furniture will
be not only adequate but comfortable.
Comfort is essential to study and med­itation.
We want our conditions here
to be conducive in every way to the
best in higher education."
Houses in Auburn have been inade­quate
not only for students but for
people who wish to come here to live.
Government work here has brought
many people to the town within the
last year or two. Some of this is
affected by the recent decision of the
United States Supreme Court killing
the AAA but the majority of it is not.
With government money available
at a low interest rate for building
houses by owners, it is expected that
more citizens here will build homes for
themselves and perhaps include a few
rooms for students. Additional build­ing
is considered a certainty if the
State arranges to pay Auburn's ap­propriations
in full.
