CHECKUP SHOWS MORE THAN
$15,000 IS STOLEN FROM GYM
Prof. Ivey Discusses
World Peace At Meet
"The League of Nations and World
Peace" was the subject used by Prof.
O. T. Ivey Monday afternoon to the
combined Home Demonstration and
Woman's Club of Loachapoka. The
work of the League in spheres other
than the political was emphasized;
such as the economic, disarmament,
health and publicity phases. Speak­ing
of the cost of the League, which
is borne proportionately by each mem­ber
according to its ability to pay, it
was pointed out that while the yearly
budget amounts to approximately $5,-
000,000.00 that this is a negligible
amount when compared with other
government services.
Referring to the present crisis in
Ethiopia, Mr. Ivey stated that this
was the first instance in which sanc­tions
had ever been applied in any
world situation. No opinion was ex­pressed
as to the probable success or
failure of the sanctions movement
which, according to the speaker, will
depend largely on the enthusiasm with
which the movement is supported in
the 51 countries participating.
Turning to the relation of the Uni­ted
States to the situation, the neu­trality
of the U. S. was commented
on in connection with the recent peace
poll in this country as indicating that
the U. S. is still on the list of the
isolationist countries. As to this pol­icy
it was suggested that, in line with
a recent statement of ex-Secretary of
State Stimson, the best way to keep
out of a war was to see that no war
was taking place in the world. To
carry out such a policy would, of
course, mean participation with the
League of Nations in the withholding
from Italy of articles of direct or
indirect consequence from the mili­tary
point of view.
Word from the athletic office this
morning was to the effect that noth­ing
definite has been learned so far
in connection with the burglary last
Sunday morning at the gymnasium.
Later checkups on the amount taken
by the burglars reveal that the sum
will total more than $15,000 instead
of $11,000 as was first reported.
Some valuable papers were also in­cluded
in the loot.
The' amount stolen consisted main­ly
of receipts from the advance sale
of the Oglethorpe; Georgia, and Flor­ida
games together with a sum left
over from the travel receipts of the
L.S.U. and Georgia Tech games. Of
the amount taken between $500 and
$600 was in cash and approximately
$15,000 in unindorsed checks. Two
of the checks were guarantee checks
from L. S. U. and Duke, and payment
on practically all of the remainder
has been stopped. The cast was par­tially
insured and officials of the
Athletic Association were hopeful
that no loss would be incurred.
Discovery of the robbery was made
by Coach Meagher's secretary early
Sunday afternoon. She notified
Coach Wilbur Hutsell and Mr. Homer
Wright who conducted the investiga­tion
finding that the burglars had
gained entrance to the gym by pry­ing
open a window. The safe was
opened by chiseling off the combina­tion
lock. The cash drawer and its
entire contents was removed and
carried away. The burglars also
forced open the door to the supply
room but nothing of value was taken.
Time of the robbery was placed
at between the close of the "A"
Club dance Saturday at 12 p.m. and
six o'clock Sunday morning. With
the exception of fingerprints, the in­vestigators
found no clues.
State and local police are working
on the case with the aid of two fin­gerprint
experts from the Montgom­ery
Police Department.

FOURTEEN CO-EDS
ARE SELECTED BY
ORACLES SOCIETY
Freshman Co-eds Tapped Yes­terday
Morning By Society;
Initiation Be Held Tuesday
Fourteen freshman co-eds were tap­ped
yesterday morning in Oracles,
newly organized freshman co-ed honor
society under the sponsorship of
Sphinx.
Those tapped include: Ruth Hol-combe,
Neva Teague, Camilla New­berry,
Carnelia Stevens, Bertha Kahn,
Estelle Breeden, Doris White, Dorothy
Ward, Evelyn Johnson, Jeanette Fran-kel,
Mary Carmack, Mary Hulsey,
Susan Wallace, and Gladys Ward.
The society was organized on the
campus this fall by Sphinx for the
purpose of promoting higher scholar­ship
among freshman co-eds at Au­burn.
Election is based primarily on
scholastic averages. The newly elect­ed
charter members will be formally
initiated at a' meeting Tuesday morn­ing.
They will have a page in the Glom-erata
this year.
Following count of the 502 votes
cast by students in the "Miss Auburn"
primary election this week, Molly
Brasfield, Jane Slack, Louise Liles
and Mary Elizabeth Watson will en­ter
the' final race to be held at a
later date.
As was stated in the last issue of
the Plainsman the election date was
moved up in order that a co-ed might
be selected to represent Auburn in the
Birmingham Christmas Carnival to be
held the latter part of this month.
The necessity of the Junior Cham­ber
of Commerce of Birmingham
knowing by Thursday the girl select­ed
fpr the carnival, it was decided
that the co-ed receiving the highest
number of votes in the election would
be named. Although the count was ex­ceedingly
close, Molly-Brasfield held
a slight lead over the other three and
will participate in the carnival as the
"Auburn Princess".
According to an announcement from
the Glomerata office, the final election
will not be held until after the
Thanksgiving holidays in order to al­low
more time for complete details to
be worked but.

Exhibit To Be Shown
M. I. T. Drawings To
Be On Display Here
During the remainder of this month
there will be on display in the library
of the School of Architecture and Al­lied
Arts approximately two dozen
rendered drawings loaned by the
Massachusetts Institute of Technol­ogy's
School of Architecture. This ex­hibit
represents student work of sev­eral
years ago under the direction of
Mr. Jacques Carlu when he was chief
critic of design at that school and
before his resignation.
According to Mr. E. W. Burkhardt,
head professor of design, Mr. Carlu
was considered to be the most out­standing
French critic ever brought to
this country. Mr. Burkhardt further
stated that his influence produced a
new style in the presentation of stu­dent
work which is quite evident in
this exhibit..
Mr. Carlu was the winner of the
Grand Prix de Rome a few years ago.
This is considered by the architectural
profession to be one of the highest
annual awards that can be won by
students at the Ecole do Beaux Arts in
Paris.
The public is cordially invited by
Mr. Burkhardt to inspect this exhibit.
Current work by Auburn students
will be also placed on exhibit next
week. This work comprises the sec­ond
project of the upper classmen.
According to Frank W. Applebee,
head professor of Applied Arts,
an unusual opportunity will be given
to the students and residents of Au­burn
to view an exhibit of the Post-
Impressionistic school of modern art
in the near future.
This exhibit consists of 120 large
full-color prints of about two dozen
recognized masters in this style and
will feature the work of Cezanne, Van
Gogh, and Gauguin. Credit is given
these three men for starting the move­ment
away from the accepted stand­ard
of the older artists.
Cezanne, born in 1839, was termed
a "crank" by his contemporaries. He
died in 1906. Van Gogh, 1853-1890,
was called a "madman" and he did
spend some time in an insane asylum.
Gauguin, 1848-1903, was somewhat
more rational than the other followers
of this style and was merely called an
"outlaw".
Mr. Applebee stated that he had
seen most of the prints and that this
collection was the best he had ever
seen. "I am glad," he added, "that
the Department of Applied Art is
able to sponsor such an exhibit at this

service to and from Columbus Satur­day.
Lambda Chi Alpha and Theta Chi
will meet this week to decide the
championship in the Interfraternity
Touch Football Tourney by virtue of
their victories over the Delta Sigma
Phi and Theta Chi respectively.
Lambda Chi showed plenty of
power in overcoming a 7-0 lead the
Delta Sig outfit held at halftime as
the result of an intercepted pass.
A pass to Hamilton resulted in the
first Lembda Chi score early in the
second half. A good punt by Lowery
which a Delta Sig back tried unsuc­cessfully
to run from behind his own
goal line resulted in two more points
for Lambda Chi giving them the lead
for the first time of 8-6. In the
final minutes of the game Delta
Sig. started a drive from their own
4-yard line which carried them to the
Lambda Chi 6-yard line where a pass
was intercepted by Greene of the
Lambda Chi who ran ninety seven
yards for the final scone of the
game, making it 14-7.
The Theta Chi-Phi Delta Theta
was featured by the team work of
the Theta Chi outfit. The first
Theta Chi score came as a result of
a short pass from the 3-yard line
culminating a drive that carried them
half the length of the field. Theta
Chi's final point came in the last
few minutes of the game when Ham­mond,
Phi Delta Theta's offensive
star was tackled behind his own goal
line while attempting a kick. The
final score being 8-0 in favor of The­ta
Chi.
Lambda Chi and Theta Chi will
meet Sunday on Bullard Field.

Unknown Woman Tries To
Buy Ticket At Lambda
Chi Theatre Booth
Footsore and weary and in dire need
of rest she was after her first visit
to Auburn. It was Homecoming day.
She had witnessed many events—big
parade, football game and then a fire­works
display at night. There was
no doubting that she needed a good
sound rest. A quiet two hours in one
of Aubifrn's theatres she decided
would be just the thing.
But is still is a mystery why this
unknown lady ever decided to visit
the "Lambda Chi Theatre" and see
Morris and Gilbert in "The Dying
Petrel" in preference to the mystery
thriller at the local emporium. When
asking for a ticket at the Lambda Chi
ticket booth, it is not known whether
she was told they had sold out or
something else, but at any rate she
never say the "Dying Petrel". No­body
is asked to believe this story, but
it is true nevertheless.
Sigma Alpha Epsilon Is
Winner Of Council Cup
The Interfraternity Council's
silver loving cup for the most ap­propriately
decorated fraternity
house at Homecoming last week­end
was awarded to the-S. A. E.
fraternity following a close deci­sion
by the judges.
Second place honors went to
Sigma Chi, with Lambda Chi and
A. T. O. figuring closely for the
third and fourth places.
It was necessary for the judges
to make four tours before they
made any decision. Houses were
judged this year both during the
day and at night, and the final
decision of each of the four' judges
was based mainly on balance of
decorations in respect to the
house, composition, appropriate­ness
of theme, and lighting ef­fects.
Each judge in the contest made
separate decisions on the houses,
and the final result was derived
from the complete report of all
four judges;'

"Miss Mint" Arrives Upon Scene
Miami, Nov. 20—One of the- most
unusual celebrations ever arranged,
a Football Festival Week, will be
brought to. a climax here November
30 with the fifteenth renewal of Flor­ida-
Auburn gridiron rivalry.
Featured by the Florida-Auburn
contest,' and preliminary games be­tween
Miami High and Boys High of
Atlanta on Thanksgiving Day, Uni­versity
of Miami and Boston Univer­sity
on Friday night, November 30,
an extensive program of parades,
dances and other activities, has been
arranged for the celebration.
Auburn, with the greatest team
since the championship eleven of 1932,
is anxious to break the famed Florida
jinx. Only once since the renewal of
football relations between the two
schools in 1927 have the Plainsmen
defeated Florida. The exception was
in 1932 and the score was 21-6.
All three football games are sched­uled
at Miami's new municipal sta­dium.
The Georgia Bulldog will be burned
in effigy tomorrow night at 8 o'clock
when O. D. K. will stage their annual
bonfire and mass meeting on the rat
football field. \
A varied program is being arranged
which wil climax the season of pre-game
football rallies on the campus.
It was learned late last night that
Dr. George Petrie, Auburn's first foot­ball
coach, would be unable to parti­cipate
as was planned. According to
John Rush, president of O. D. K.,
there is a possibility of obtaining
Sheriff Haygood Paterson of Mont­gomery
to speak in place of Dr. Petrie.
Short talks will also be made by
Coach Jack Meagher, the coaching
staff, and the senior members of the
football, team. They will be introduc­ed
by Rush. Before and after the
talks the crowd will be led through
several Auburn cheers by the quarter
of cheerleaders assisted by the band.
Already a considerable amount of
wood has been obtained for the bon-fine,
but more is needed. Early to­morrow
morning a wood pile will be
started near the main gate and will
be added to by members of the stu­dent
body with all wood that they can
scrape up. All freshmen are required
to contribute to the pile. Aside from
the bonfire there will be a large flam­ing
"A" that will remain burning
during the meeting.
Bleachers will be erected to accom­modate
the crowd expected for the
affair, with a special speaker's plat­form
to be placed between the bleach­ers
and the fire. In case of rain the
meeting will be held in La'ngdon Hall.
Forming shortly before 8 o'clock in
front of Langdon Hall, the band will
lead a parade of students to the field.
Special features are promised by the
cheerleaders to climax the season.
Crenshaw Recovering
After Recent Attack
Dr. B. H. Crenshaw, head of the
mathematics department, was taken
with a sudden attack of angina pecto­ris
Saturday night. Dr. B. F. Thom­as,
college physician, stated this morn­ing
that his condition was some better
and that he had spent a fairly com­fortable
night, though he was still
seriously ill. Grave concern is felt by
his friends for his condition.
By Jack Morton
At last the long awaited has come.
Miss Mint, personal representative of
Mr. William Wrigley, chewing gum
magnate, has arrived and the cam­paign
to discover just how popular
is Wrigley's chewing gum is well un­der
way.
This enterprising young lady said
that no place in town was safe from
her everlasting search of gum-chew-ers.
At the game last Friday, Drum
Major Hardeman was accosted with
the question, "Have you an open
package of Wrigley's gum." He had
and is a dollar richer. On being
asked why he preferred Wrigley's,
he replied that it helped him to keep
the perfect time that the cadets know
so well during reviews. Even the
gymnasium is not sacred, to Miss
Mint, as Captain Mutt Morris and
Mr. Walter Gilbert can testify. They
each received a new one-dollar bill
for their opinions. Mr. Gilbert stat­ed
that Wrigley's gum helped him to
keep his wind in even the most stren­uous
games, and Mr. Morris claimed
that he wouldn't play ball without
it. The Fire Department came in
for its share of honors with Mr. Sam
Gibbons leading the way. When
asked why he chewed Wrigley's gum,
he announced non-chalantly: "I alius
chew hit."
"It is the element of surprise that
makes my job so interesting," said
Miss Mint. She seemed to be im­pressed
with the response which Au­burn
accorded her. At the present
time, she is easily the most popular
girl on the campus, if one may judge
by the receptions she receives where-ever
she goes.
It is hard to realize that here she
is, giving away brand-new dollar
bills. "And they are genuine," Miss
Mint added, "although people are
skeptical at first. But they will have
several weeks to get accustomed to
the idea, so it will turn out all right
in the end. The package must be
Wrigley's and also be open," she
warned, "before I can pay you for
your opinion. And please don't
make it hard for he to give you your
dollar by asking me first. Let me
be bold enough to approach you
first" :• •

Auburn Medicos Go
To Opelika Meeting
Drs. B. F. Thomas, C. S. Yar-brough,
L. L. Parks, and John T.
Oliver represented Auburn at the dis­trict
meeting of the Medical Society
held in Opelika Nov. 14 to 16.
Drs. Thomas and Oliver of the Lee
County Society assisted in presenting
the program at the Thursday session.
Dr. J. G. Baker, State Health Offi­cer,
spoke on public health problems
and organization. He placed much
stress on the importance of such re­search
work as is being done in Lee
County.
New Phone Exchange
Planned For Auburn
Negotiations are being carried on
between the city council of Auburn
and the Southern Bell Telephone Com­pany
for the possible construction of
a new telephone exchange. The loca­tion
under consideration is on the city
owned plot on Tichenor Avenue adja­cent
to the Post Office.
Representatives of the Southern
Bell Company have stated that in­stallation
of new equipment is needed,
and their present location is not suit­able
for this change. The proposed
exchange would entail an outlay of
approximately $75,000. Of this $50,-
000 will be in the new building and
the remaining $25,000 in equipment.
The proposition is now under con­sideration
by the Bell Company, and
the council feels certain that an agree­ment
will be reached. The final de­cision
is expected at an early date.
Former Auburn Prof.
Is Author Of Drama
A play written by Telfair B.
Peet, Auburn dramatic instructor on
leave at the University of Wyoming
in Laramie, has recently appeared in
Samuel French's catalog under the
name of "The New Moon".
"The New Moon" is a whimsical
fantasy of old folk-superstition con­cerning
a small boy's ceaseless crying
for the moon that was finally cured
by the traditional Dr. Spankster.
The play involves eight characters,
has a royalty of five dollars, and lasts
over a period of 40 minutes.
Mr. Peet is a graduate of the Uni­versity
of North Carolina and has
been with the Alabama Polytechnic
Institute since 1931.

What Is Wrong? '
What is wrong? This is a question up­permost
in the minds of a large group of
real Auburn students. They have recog­nized
in student attitude a strict departure
0
from those things which characterized "old
Auburn". In a manner some of the changes
are desirable; on the other hand, several
changes which have altered the entire at­mosphere
here are regrettable.
The general indifference of many stu­dents
toward their work is an unhealthy
sign of the changing trend. Interest in
mid-semester reports was practically nil.
If grades were deficient, comments were
breezy and indicated no sign or worry or
resolve to improve scholastic standings.
Instead of giving time in thought to
things educational, a large section of the
student body thinks only of the weekend
dances, the movie tomorrow night, the date
slated for next week. Never before has
Auburn been invaded by such a district
craze for things purely social.
On the entire student body, approximately
forty per cent are freshmen. With over
eight hundred students here just fresh from
high school, the college administration and
older students are faced,with a grave re­sponsibility.
These new students must be
shown the way—there are not enough up-
- perclassmen with the real good of Auburn
and future welfare of the institution at
heart to do their bit in properly moulding
the lives of this large group along sane
lines.
Even the "hello's" carry with them some­thing
of a slap in the face. Their seeming
impersonal intonation and even more im­personal
expressions do not carry with them
the hearty good fellowship for which Au­burn
was once noted.
The old time "bull sessions" and general
get-togethers around fraternity and board­ing
houses, dormitories, corner drug stores
and other meetings places are now the ex­ception
rather than the rule. Instead of the
common feeling of friendship and mutual in­terest
which formerly bound large classes
of students together, there is now more
of the individualistic and "watch me" spirit.
In the eternal struggle for social and po­litical
prestige the finer things which Au­burn
has to offer have been shoved to a
not very prominent spot in the background.
Desire for intellectual advancement, com­bined
efforts in seeking worthwhile goals,
love of Auburn—these and any number of
other desirable objectives have been lost in
the mad scramble which is attendant with
the newer and more bucolic Auburn.
Perhaps Auburn is growing up. But we
hardly characterize the present trend as
such. Auburn will grow only through ad­vancement
in scholarship, fellowship, cul­ture
and other virtues which should sup­plant
the current ideas of real college life.
The Women's National Republican Club
has announced an "anti-New Deal school of
political science" for young women of New
York.
South's Worst Enemies
We in the South chafe and swear at the
lack of understanding on the part of con­ceited
yankees, and well we might. Quite
often statements appearing in the northern
newspapers and magazines are grossly un­just.
Conditions in the South, and espec­ially
the traditions which cause certain con­ditions
to exist, are misrepresented by peor
pie who know relatively little of this section.
Yet, now and then we are brought face
to face with a situation that makes us
realize that after all the yankees are not
wholly to blame. Probably the worst ene­mies
the South has are ignorant and head­strong
southerners who not only rebel at
criticism from the North but insist on
flaunting the very actions and evils for
which we are criticised. They are like the
small boy who, when scolded for pilfering a
cookie, hurried back and stole two.
Such a situation existed recently up at
Ashland, Tenn. Five men insisted on tak­ing
the law into their own hands, something
for which southerners are condemned reg­ularly
and justly. These five men did not
go to the trouble of gathering together an
overwhelming mob; they simple stole the
negro from the jail, then took him out and
killed him. The negro was not accused of
any felony; one of the men merely stated
that his wife had been spoken to in an in^
suiting manner, then slapped by the negro.
What induced the negro to behave in such
a way was not made clear, but he had been
booked on a charge of assault and battery,
and was waiting in jail.
There was no question as to the identity
of the lynchers. ' The five men were im­mediately
arrested, and made no denial of
their having killed the negro.
Law enforcement officers, chafing under
continued northern abuse, prosecuted zeal­ously.
They no doubt thought that here,
at last, was a chance to prove that the
South did not allow open and flagrant lynch­ing
to go unpunished. Within two weeks
the cast was to the jury.
Then came further small-boy tactics. The
jury argued for 24 hours, and then, in spite
of the undisguised orders of the judge to
bring a verdist of guilty, acquitted the five
men. It would be hard to imagine a thin­ner
and weaker defense than the men put
up. They maintained that they took the
negro out only to whip him (something
equally lawless), and were forced to kill
him in self-defense.. The negro was shot.
He was obviously unarmed. There were
five white men handling him. Yet' they
had to kill ljim in self-defense.
As long as such flagrant disregard of law
and justice is allowed to go unpunished, the
South will continue to receive abuse from
other sections. It is up to intelligent and
law-abiding citizens to build up a powerful
public opinion to protect the reputation of
the South.
Nineteen deaths attributable to football
directly or indirectly have occurred this
season. College football produced only one
fatality, high school play 14.
Agitations
By AGITATOR
Seeing the need of some stimulus to help
instill the old spirit and cooperation of the
Auburn student body into the present ag­gregation
of tea hounds that Auburn has
so unfortunately fallen heir to; we offer
this column as a mirror in hopes that it
might reflect the true state of affairs to the
Auburn student.
The disinterest and unthoughtfulness of
the Auburn students in any thing having
to do with the betterment of the instiution
in any way stands out like a sore thumb.
The student bodies of all colleges act as
their advertising medium to the outside
world. People judge schools by the actions
of the college students both on and away
from the campus. Even though football is
also a good advertising medium in some
respects, it outdoes itself by bringing in the
wrong element. This of course could be
eliminated by the proper action on the part
of the college' authorities (if such a thing
is possible). Student bodies however, are
and always have been the most wide spread
form of college advertising (God help Au­burn).
In this respect the Auburn spirit
is sadly declining. It has fallen from the
old spirit of cooperation to the new attitude
of disinterest and selfishness. If Auburn
has been getting any advertising at all from
the students, which is doubtful, most of it
has been of a harmful nature.
Most of the students have a perverted
idea of what Auburn spirit really is. If
making an ass of himself on a football trip
affected only the student in question, no one
would have any kick coming, but the public
doesn't know and doesn't care who the in­dividual
is; it notes and forms its opinion
of the institution he represents. A majority
of the undesirable element referred to above
has taken it upon themselves to convince
the people at .large just what a hell raising
institution we have here. Anyone with the
slightest conception of the ideas of a gen­tleman
(if any of you don't know what this
last word .means, Webster gives a good de­finition
and it wouldn't hurt you to look
it up) would not be satisfied until some defi­nite
move had been made to improve on the
present state of affairs. Even though be­having
as a gentleman might be a terrible
strain and absolutely unnatural to you, why
not try it for a lark.

A TWO CUPS OF COFFEE AND A CUP
.OF CHOCOLATE ESSAY
IT IS reported that the other gentleman
on the page attended a seance Sunday
afternoon. It is said that at said seance
he was enabled to see many things. Among
those things being the idea that 'tis enor­mously
unwise to report those unfortunate
individuals who are afflicted with ants,
honey, and pants.
* * * *
I will have to side with my fellow dic-tionery
reader insomuch as I have always
maintained that one who knows of an
epidemic, and who doesn't report that epi­demic
to the proper authorities, is guilty of
mahem, ahem, and P.M. \
* * * *
Explanation: Since we mentioned the
forenoon (Spelled as "ahem" in this ins­tance)
we had to mention the afternoon to
make a full day.
* * * •
And the question before us is a full day's
work for anyone. I say, you know, when
there is yellow fever, scarlet fever, or just
plain old ugly black fever ranging around,
the first individual who notices the matter
realizes that here, my friends, is an epidem­ic.
But does he keep quiet about it, my
friends? I say he does not. He immediate­ly
shouts, "God save the king; he owes me
two bits", and he starts eating pills and other
pharmaceutical preparations, on account of
he, under no condition, wants to.be afflicted
with yellow fever, scarlet fever, or just
plain old ugly black fever. In fact he don't
want no fever at all. And by his shouting
what we have just told you about, the other
people in town will also assume that they,
under no condition, want to he plagued with
yellow, scarlet, or just plain old ugly black
fever (We saved the fever space on that
one), and so they do the same as he does.
And then nobody don't have no kind of no
colored fever . . . except the egg who started
the epedemic, and whoever starts a thing
like that should have the feVer.
* * * *
^Well, nobody had fever in the aboVe para­graph.
Now. down here in this paragraph
we cannot be so optimistic. We will have
to lay the bare facts before you. Now,
bare facts look in no way nice, and due
to the frigid weather; a bit of redness,
chapping, et-set-rah, is more than likely
'to enter into the discussion. Be that as it
may, we cannot prevent it. What the other
gentleman and I are trying to do is save
the population from the most devilish-epi­demic
that has ever beset a people.
We are trying to make you realize your
danger. Face the fact that there is an
epidemic, an epidemic of the worst sort,
and take the proper steps to prevent its
spreading. Now, the only way to handle
the matter is to report all cases and try
to isolate those cases to prevent the spread
of the dread thing.
And what do you do? You don't face the
facts. The fact that the word "pants" is
mentioned makes you yell, "Ugly and de­grading".
Be that as it may also, you will
find that most epidemics are "ugly and
degrading". Your calling a "leg" a "limb"
still doesn't make me look for leafy green
foliage when the wind does things to skirts,
you know.
* * * *
Now this particular epidemic is not caus­ed
by germs. Would that --it were. It's
isolation and prevention would be so much
easier. What is causing this epidemic of
ants, honey, and pants, is something far
more reaching and far more dangerous to
a greater percentage of our population.
It's a funny thing, you know, but when
you are walking down the street, and along
comes a tight dress, a pair of shapely silk
legs . . . aided by a bit of that and some of
t'other . . . the old ants just seem to jump
right up off the ground and light right
into your pants before you know what is
going on.
And a bit of a smile . . . a chance kiss
or so . . . and along comes the honey to
keep company with the ants.
* * *. *
I will hazard the statement that there
isn't a vacant pair of britches in the whole
town. •
• * . * * * *
Now, you will have to admit, that is bad.
Ants, being awfully inconsiderate, interfere
greatly with the art of studying. In fact,
all desire to study is removed from the mind
of the afflicted person. That person runs
about with ears attuned, and flapping like
gourds in a breeze, to the gently calling
voice of love.
* * * *
Oh, I have listened too. But all I ever
heard the voice of love say was, "Let's go
to the show tonight, Darling, and I know
I'm going to be so hungry afterwards."
* * * *
Advice to the voice of love: Oh, lovely
and saintty voice, oh voice of bliss and hap-

- LETTERS TO THE EDITOR *
Editor, the Plainsman
Dear Sir:
After going through the election Wed­nesday
I had several things I wanted to get
off my mind, but, being a freshman, knew
not whom to say them to. Had I known, I am
afraid I could not have brought myself to
saying them. However, I remembered the
Plainsman and the fact that a distant cousin
of mine, Adam Pendragon, had a letter pub­lished
in the last issue and decided to have
my say on paper and mail it to the editor.
What I have to say concerns the fresh­man
election. Being particularly busy on
Wednesdays it was my hard luck to have to
pass the Student Hall several times before
I was able to go down and cast my ballot.
As a result, I promised every candidate who
approached me—and many did—my support.
Great was my mortification when I entered
the Hall and found there was no booth .or
screened table where I could peacefully
count "eenie, meenie, minie, moe" and select
my candidates. However, I managed to hide
under'a card table and mark my ballot to
my satisfaction before I was button-holed
by even a single honey-tongued talker.
Crawling out from my hiding place, I start­ed
toward the ballot box, but seeing a can­didate
approaching me whose name I had
not checked, hurriedly made an erasure and
changed the position of the cross mark. He
inspected my ballot, smiled, patted me on
the back and walked on. Everytime I tried
to get to the ballot box I met a different
candidate, till I erased so much I wore the
durn ballot out, and the guys at the table
wouldn't give me another one. I finally
gave up arguing with them and went home,
mad clean through.
Arriving at home, I got out that rat
bible I was browbeaten into buying at the
first of the year and looked through it to
see if it said a student should be subjected
to such embarrassment during an election.
To my surprise, I found several statements
which, according to my interpretation, seem­ed
to relate to the subject. They are from
the Regulations of Permanent Committees
of the Executive Cabinet and are as follows:
Article III, Section 4, n : " The voter shall,
on entrance, receive his ballot, which he
shall fill out at a booth or screened table
provided for that purpose", and
Article III, Section 8: "All forms of elec­tioneering
at the polls shall be prohibited."
Knowing of no other way of finding out
whether or not I shall be subject to such
conditions at the next election, I would like
to ask the Executive Cabinet to interpret
and explain the preceeding quotations from
the regulations governing its permanent
committees, as well as the following one:
Article III, Section 4, 0: "There shall be
no counting of votes until after the close
of the polls."
Yours truly,
Adam Penfeather,
Freshman.
piness; throw your heavenly and flute-like
tones through the microphone of a hundred
watt public address system from now on;
I am getting quite derned hard of hearing.
* * * *
But, you know, I think if we can just
limit the cases to ants, things will be all
right. But if ever anyone gets a mess of
"Bumble-bees-in-the-Britches", things are
just going to be too bad.
Editor, the Plainsman,
Dear Sir:
You have recently received a number of
letters from various sources of the campus
all of which were inexcusibly spiteful and
"catty". I shall endeavor to confine this
letter to qualified criticism, however please
don't condemn me if I assume old maid
characteristics in "the heat of battle". The
student body will have to draw its own con­clusions
as to whether I am merely dis­gusted
with some of the Letters to the
Editor; whether I am a politician; or wheth­er
I am a weak-kneed pacifist.
As I understand it, the purpose of this
column is to give the average student an
opportunity to point out certain discrepan­cies
of our school and to give his or her
opinions as to what might better these par­ticular
situations. We do not hesitate to
criticise as is evident by the recent influx
of letters. However, we do fail miserably
in improving a state of affairs simply be­cause
we are so damnably sarcastic and
nagging that the primary objective of our
composition becomes obscured.
May I very humbly suggest a plan by
which students should correspond through
this column? First, let him point out, with
straightforward exactness, the situation as
it appears to him. Then, let him show the
necessity for a change. After he has done
this in an unprejudiced, but nevertheless
firm manner, he should offer a solution to­gether
with the advantages of the same.
The Plainsman has a sizeable out-of-town
circulation and in, in a large measure,
representative, or rather misrepresentative,
of the mental temperament of Auburn stu­dents.
This is unfortunate for the hun­dreds
of intelligent students who realize
that our campus leaders, both among the
faculty and students, are doing their best
to make our little world as near Utopian
as possible. It is not possible that the
Plainsman's readers, many of them our own
parents, will associate us with a group of
"bellyachers' or roughnecks who will submit
to no form of administration no matter how
democratic it is.
About the recent criticism of the Cabinet:
We all know that this body has shortcom­ings;
but I insist that said shortcomings
can be attributed to a lack of interest on the
part of the students and not to any personal
dishonesty on the part of any of its mem­bers.
I have known Hardy Deer for some
time. At no time has he given me the im­pression
of being tyrranical or dishonest.
The majority of the fair-minded students
will bear me out in this statement. But
the man is human, and, therefore, is it
lojjical to suppose that he will be more
willing to discuss the pro and con of things
with a person who can adopt a sensible
view and not give the impression of trying
to cut his throat?
In closing let me urge that we use this
column as a means of bringing about a
better Auburn, not a publicity van. We
need criticism and we need a desire for re­form
along certain lines; we do not need
a retinue of blow-hards who have never yet
done this institution any good. ,
I would like nothing better than to see
an answer to this letter in next Friday's
Plainsman.
Yours,
Hopeful Sophomore.

I'M GUEST columnist. . And as such I
should begin this dissertation with "as
we sit at our typewriter in complacent
repose" etc.
But there isn't now and never has been
anything serene about the Plainsman office.
As we sit in this well worn chair, which
has rubbed countless pants seats slick, and
write and talk at the same time there is a
swarm of activity in this sanctum,.the chaos
that precedes the birth of a newspaper. As
we idly gaze on this turmoil there emerges
from it the picture of the college news­paper.
Restless nervousness characterizes these
fretting and fuming individuals who spend
their off hours scrapping and scourging for
news. They are forever looking into build­ings,
gazing down alleys, always seeking
something new. All of them are hard smok­ers
and would like to appear dissipated.
They work with ties sagging, sleeves 1 oiled
up, and vests unbuttoned. Each has his
particular vocabulary, each his pet phrase­ology.
Most of the work by rote, and a
few have ideas. Some are expert punsters,
all are wisecrackers. In spite of their
journalistic complexes, in spite of their stale
jokes, these babes of the press are a like­able
lot.

Came the last gubernatorial election,
those who have the best interests of Auburn
at heart were advised to support Bibb
Graves. Should the Little Colonel be elect­ed,
we were told, education would receive
its just desserts and this institution would
no longer be forced to operate under a
reduced budget.
Came the spring of '35, the State legisla­ture
met and we all waited for the passage
of such legislation as would boost education
from the throes of financial indebtedness.
Surely, with Administration forces taking
the lead, all monetary problems of Auburn
would be solved.
Came the end of the legislative session
and we were still awaiting enactment of
legislation which would carry out the Gov­ernor's
pledge to education.
Comes the latter part of November, Au­burn
professors and school teachers through­out
Alabama are still teaching with the
"promise" of payment of full salaries in
the "near future".
Let's all stand and, with the Little Colo­nel,
who has told us to "keep on keeping
on", leading, sing all ten stanzas of "THE
INSTITUTE IS DESTITUTE, BUT WE
LOVE HER JUST THE SAME".

ACTIVE PROGRAM
FORMULATED FOR
LOCAL "Y" GROUP
Plan Outlined To Build Y. M.
C. A. To Former Prominent
Position In Campus Activities
In an effort to build the Y. M. C. A.
to its former prominent position on
the campus, an active student pro­gram
is being outlined by the Friend­ship
Council. Several years back this
body led in all student activities and
was one of the most outstanding
groups here, but since the appropria­tion
for this work was cut off in 1931
very little has ben accomplished by
the Y. M. C. A.
The biggest step taken by the cabi­net
this year was the organizing of
a freshman group in this work with a
total membership of over 40. It is
thought that starting the future mem­bers
of the Friendship Council in this
type of activity as soon as possible
would give better results. The fresh­men
hold their meetings each Thurs­day
and cabinet members or outside
guests are invited to speak. Elections
for this body will be held soon.
Vesper services is another activity
to be sponsored by the Y. M. C. A. this
year. These services are to be put
on in conjunction with the local
churches and out-of-town speakers will
be invited to speak on these occasions.
Discussion groups are also planned.
The topics are being selected by the
committee in charge and the public
will be invited to attend the discus-sons.
A committee is working on the
plans for a program to be presented
at the CCC camps near here.
"Although all of these plans are in
embryonic stage," stated J. P. Hand-ley,
president of the Friendship Coun­cil,
"we hope to be able to work out
each phase of the program we have
planned."

Goal Set In Drive
For Tuskegee Fund »
The Alabama Committee, of which
Dr. L. N. Duncan is a member, fixed
a goal of $500,000 as the amount to be
sought for erecting a new Agricultu­ral
building at Tuskegee Institute.
This drive is a goodwill gesture by the
"white south" toward the Negroes.
December 1 was set as the opening
date for securing Alabama's quota of
$100,000.
Major G. B. Edwards, Tuskegee,
State Chairman, presided. Blueprints
of the building were shown to those
present. *
The white citizens of Tuskegee will
donate more than $2,000 to show Tus-kegee's
endorsement of the movement.
$1,500 of this amount has already been
given.
President F. D. Patterson of the
Institute expressed gratitude and deep
appreciation of the committee's acti­vities
and of donations being made
toward the fund.

The Auburn F.F.A. chapter is try­ing
to decide whether Paul Starr
knows his corn or if he is just lucky.
At the two field meeting conducted
by the chapter in cooperation with
the-Chilean Nitrate Educational Bu­reau,
Paul won the two dollar prize
dffered at each meeting to the person
guessing nearest to the actual yield
of corn per acre where two hundred
pounds of Chilean nitrate was applied
as a side dressing and where no ni­trate
was used.
On the demonstration conducted by
Eddy Jones the yield from the nitrate
plot was 24.2 bushels per acre and the
no-nitrate plot 7.8 bushels per acre.
Paul guessed 24 bushels and 8 bush­els.
On the second demonstration con­ducted
by Woodrow Rowell the nitrate
plot produced 38 bushels per acre and
no nitrate plot produced 9.6 bushels.
Paul guessed 36 and 10.
The local chapter had two good
demonstrations and are hoping to win
the radio receiving set that is to be
given to the chapter having the best
demonstration in this district. The
new officers of the local chapter, are:

Collegiate Review
Almost all American colleges have
now established dancing as a regular
part of their curricula.
Doshisha University, known as the
Amherst of Japan, was founded by
Joseph Hardy Neesima, Amherst '70.
Three Massachusetts schools, Holy
Cross, Williams and Harvard have de­clined
NYA assistance.
According to Frank Lloyd Wright,
long the storm center of American ar­chitecture,
American suffers from "too
much so-called education".
Two Princeton freshmen stated
their political preferences as Nazi in
a recent poll.
Ten times as many students are us­ing
their college libraries now as in
1925.
Columbia University scientists have
devised a test to measure the effect
of propaganda on the individual.
Melvin Rugg, Rochester University
freshman, travelled 21,000 miles to
come to school.
CCNY students are raising funds
and medical supplies for Ethiopia.
The clas of 1889, Bryn Mawr, re­cently
gave the college $50,000—but
anonymously!
Students should be taught the theo-ory
of communism as they are the
theory of capitalism, says Dr. William
Russell of Columbia.
Prof. R. H. Sherill of the University
of North Carolina school of commerce
took on five New York thugs recently
when one of them took 30 cents from
him. Although three radio patrol cars
finished the thugs after Prof Sherill
had knocked out one of them, he is
credited with a moral victory.
Leaflets advertising a Nazi book
were found inserted into a standard
German text at CCNY recently. They
were removed and order destroyed.
Indication of returning stable busi­ness
conditions is seen in the increas­ing
amount of gifts to colleges and
universities.
Credit toward a degree may be ob­tained
by Alfred University students
who participate in certain extra-cur­ricular
activities.
Auburn ran rough-shod over the
University of Oglethorpe on Drake
field Saturday for an overwhelming
victory of 51-0. An estimated crowd
of 5,000 braved a chilling wind from
the Northwest to witness the perform­ance
of nearly every player on the
outstanding Tiger squad against the
haples crew of Coach John Patrick.
The alumni, who were here to cele­brate
Homecoming Day, had the op­portunity
to witness an array of stars
who will go down in history as having
constituted the makeup of one of
Auburn's finest teams. After the
first team was removed by Coach
Meagher at the end of the first period,
the Auburn mentor sent in substitute
after substitute. Most of these play­ers
were getting their first real
chance to show their wares. Auburn's
tough schedule has kept them out of
the limelight.
Saturday was the reserve's day, and
they capitalized on their chances.
Taking the field at the end of the
first quarter with a 20-0 advantage
given them by the first- team, they
scored once in the second, again in
the third, and came into their own
with a three-touchdown spree in the
fourth. Karam made two of these,
Heath two, and McElroy the other.
Strange made one placement good for
an extra point. Blake and Ellis fail­ed
to score but were instrumental in
placing the ball where Karam, Mc­Elroy,
and Heath were able to take
it over. Ellis made a beautiful brok­en
field run of 48 yards in the third
quarter after receiving Puryear's
punt.
Oglethorpe never proved a match
for any combination Coach Meagher
had on the field. Their interference
deployed against the hard charging
Auburn forwards with little success.
Their backs showed very little drive
and several times spilled over their
own interference, and the few times
they managed to get beyond the line
of scrimmage the Tiger defense closed
in to bring them down for only short
gains. Only a total of 46 yards were
amassed on running plays and only 2
first downs were made to Auburn's
25. Wade, Puryear, Copeland, and
McNamara were their most consistent
performers.

Auburn Defeats Tuskegee In Game Friday Afternoon By 42-7
Points T o Close Grid Season; Team Has Won Five Games,
Tied One And Lost Three During Fall Season Under Fowler
The Auburn High School's football
team ended their grid season last Fri­day
with an overwhelming victory
over the Tuskegee High invaders.
The Tiger cubs have won five
games, tied one, and lost three games
in their nine game schedule. Victories
were registered over Fairfax, Union
Springs, Camp Hill, Reeltown, and
Tuskegee.
The Auburn team displayed a pow­erful
running attack and a hard
charging line to smother a small, but
hard fighting Tuskegee squad 42-7.
John Ham, 190 pound ace full-back,
started scoring in exactly three min­utes
of playing time. Ham showed
real power by charging through Tus-kegee's
line for the first counter and
extra point of the game.
A fine combination of aerialists,
Duncan Wright and Hunter McGehee,
chalked up the second score for the
cubs on a pass. Kenneth Funchess
caught another pass for the extra
point. Duncan Wright went into ac­tion
for the third score. At this time
in the game, the Auburn squad was
penalized 50 yards, because,one of
the linesmen had tapped a Tuskegee
man with his fist. The fourth score
was made by another combination of
aerialists when Harold Smyer tossed
the pigskin to Allen Turner. A safety
was made on the kickoff. On the sec­ond
play after the safety, Ham put
himself in exactly the right place at
the right time to intercept a pass and
race 35 yards to cross the zero line
again. A lateral pass to McGehee
was good for the remaining touch­down
for Auburn.
Tuskegee was placed in position for
a score by a perfectly timed pass from
Whitaker to Powell. Powell ran 52
yards before he was downed on the
18 inch line by Thomas Edwards. The
Tuskegee aggregation could not be
deprived of their score however, so
Asa Vaughn plunged through the line
for the few inches. Tuskegee had an­other
golden opportunity to score
when Robert Vaughn blocked an Au­burn
punt on the one yard stripe.
However, the Auburn line held like
a stone wall and the ball went over
to Auburn on downs.
