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. AUBURNBEAUTY FOR CHRISTMAS PARADE CHOSEN Molly Brasfield, Jane Slack, Louise Liles, Mary Elizabeth Watson Chosen By Students WILL ENTER FINALS Molly Brasfield Chosen To Be "Auburn Princess" In Birmingham Christmas Carnival LOCAL THESPIANS SELECT PLAY FOR NEXT PRODUCTION 'Tomorrow And Tomorrow" Selected By Group As Play To Be Produced In January Meeting Monday night in the "Y" Hut, members of the Auburn Players selected Philip Barry's "Tomorrow and Tomorrow" as their second play of the current season to be produced in early January. Texts have been ordered and rehearsals will get underway soon. The play is classed as a sophisticated comedy, including 11 characters. Prof. E. C. Blackshear, director states that there is ample talent on hand for production of the play. The following are under consideration for parts in the play: Ella Frances South, Raeford Cooper, Eloise Brown, Margaret Watts, Neva Tea-gue, Louise Houck, Eleanor Boyd, Molly Brasfield, Mary Carmack, Jane Billingsley, Lucille Majlette, Sam Zuescher, Billy White, Arthur Stewart, Lloyd Sutherland, Eugene Simmons, George Milton, Willard Manry, John Lowery, Edwin Godbold, Bill Guilford, Arthur Elsberry, Bill Cour-sey, R. R. Calloway, George Braley, and others whose names are not yet included in the "Who's Who" in dramatics. The above named are asked to get in touch with Prof. Blackshear before Thursday of next week at his office in the "L" Buliding. 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. Round m m Km™, FINAL PREPARATIONS FOR Enters Final g ^ m m j^y THURSDAY MADE BY 0.DX Noted Architectural 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 (Continued on page 4) Special Train Will Be Run To Columbus For Game Saturday Announcement has been made that the Central of Georgia Railway will operate a special train from Opelika to Columbus Saturday, November 23, to accommodate the Auburn football team, band and supporters. This special train will leave Opelika 10:00 A. M. and arrive in Columbus 10:45 A.M. and return leaving Columbus 5:30 P. M., arriving Opelika 6!*L5 P.Ml The above schedule will afford connections at Opelika with West Point train No. 37 from Montgomery and on return trip connection with West Point train No. 33 for Montgomery. It is expected a large number of football fans will use this special train 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. NOTICE! All members and pledges of Tau Beta Pi meet in front of the engineering building at 3:45 Thursday afternoon. R I P L E Y ! ! 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;' Famed Georgia Bulldog To Be Burned In Effigy At Meeting On Rat Football Field 8 P.M. CROWD EXPECTED Short Pep Talks Be Made By Team Coaches And Members Of Team; Bonfire Planned MIAMI PLANS BIG CELEBRATION FOR GATOR-TIGER TILT Football Festival Week Will Be Climaxed November 30 As Auburn And Florida Clash Increased Gum Chewing Noted As "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" :• • Five Are Selected By Education Fraternity — § Five students were given bids to Kappa Delta Pi, honorary society in Education, at the last meeting. Preceeding the banquet at the regular meeting in December, the following will be initiated: Joel Eaves, Atlanta;, Nellie Higgins, Lanett; C. B. Barker, Hefln; Mildred Bugg, Wad-ley; and Ernest Thornhill, Wetumpka. The qualifications for membership are based upon the student's scholastic standing, leadership and teaching ability. They must be a junior or above in academic rating. 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.

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. CHEWS YORE PODNER By Gum EDITOR'S NOTE: The opinions expressed in this column are not necessarily the editorial opinions of this paper. It is a column of personal, comment, and is not to be read as an expression of our editorial policy. 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- * AUBURN FOOTPRINTS Judge: "You admit ybu drove over this man with a loaded truck?"

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. EMPHATIC EUPHONIES By Guest Columnist EDITOR'S NOTE: The opinions expressed in this column are not necessarily the editorial opinions of this paper. It is a column of personal comment, and is not to be read as an expression of our editorial policy. * * * * 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. * * * * It's a dastardly lie, this rumor that the craze for cheek-to-cheek dancing was instigated by the Razor Blade interests. * * * * 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". * * * * At last we know what an infant industry is—marriage. * * * * Thoughts and things: Dancing was invented by a fool like me—he found a girl he couldn't embrace any other way. . . . Sunday is the day you and I spend a nickel in church and thirty-five cents at the theatre. . . . a newspaper report says a London millionaire left 100 antique clocks in his will—what an estate to wind up. . . . one feels so silly looking into space attempting to think of nauseating nonsense with which to fill this column. * * * * Shawts: Who was it that wrote last year of a couple of campus sweethearts flat-footing it to a certain destination "on and on like eternal rain"? . . . Parrish, who formerly wrote juicy comments for this sheet . . . Wingo and Wadsworth? . . . Yeah, it does look serious. . . . we forgot our pencil and pad and didn't get many of names after last night's show . . . but "Speedy" Wallace, who stops sleeping long enough twice weekly to issue this paper, supplies us with the following info: his colleague, Herman Harris, is still "that way" over Frances Ashurst . . . Louise Liles is a honey . . . a surprise in every package. . . . George Quinney joined the ranks of the grafters immediately after publication of his first "Tiger Rag". . . Harry Whitten and Margaret Wakefield (ex-Auburnus) together for a big weekend during homecoming. . . . Sarver unusually sober at the "A" Club struggle last Saturday night. . . . he's a good boy. . . . South still laying 'em out in rows down near the tracks. . . . Pi K. A.'s still taking fine care of her, thank you. . . . Mary Murphey and Floyd Pugh will write a column for the co-ed issue of "Tiger Rag" . . . up and at 'em, men. . . . what those girls might say in that issue must have plenty of people worried. . . . Flash: Campbell comes out in latest Glomerata attire—new shoes, hat, suit, tie and accessories. . . . a bouquet of posies to Graves and Hooper for their adroit method of securing photos for this year's yearbook. You seen, I taken: now is the time for all good men to git out of the country . . . git out you suckers . . . I've got four kings. WEDNESDAY, NOV. 20, 193S T H E A U B U R N P L A I N S M AN A L A B A M A P O L Y T E C H N I C INSTITUTE P A G E T H R EE 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."

Beset With Problem 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: President Roy Rogers, Vice-president Thad Webster, Secretary Mitchell Wadkins, Treasurer Woodrow Rowell, and Reporter Paul Duggar. STORMY PETRELS LOSE HARD GAME TO AUBURN TEAM Tigers Run Rough-Shod Over Oglethorpe Outfit In Game On Drake Field Saturday Initiation Meeting Is Planned By Rho Chi . i Rho Chi, national honorary pharmaceutical society, held a meeting last Friday night. They decided to put a page in the Glomerata this year for the first time in the past few years. Plans were made for the initiation, which is to be held next Tuesday afternoon, and the banquet that will follow the initiation. The neophytes are: M. J. Garrett, Bay Minette; Mary Watson, Flomaton; Jack Till, Elmore; George Poole, Birmingham; Edward Cale, Pratt City. 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.

Thomas Monday, Nov. 11, at Ramsay Hall for the discussion of future plans. The fraternity was first organized on this campus in 1927 under the leadership of Professor Thomas. It was disbanded after two years of service and was not reorganized until the spring of 1934. It has been slowly growing until now the membership numbers around 25. Eleven pledges are to be initiated Friday, Nov. 21, at 7 o'clock in Ramsay Hall, and again Saturday, Dec. 14, there will be another initiation meeting and a steak fry at Spring Villa. This will complete the initiation plans for the fall. Scheduled meetings are first and third Sundays of every month. They will be held each time in Ramsay Hall, Room 109. DECISIVE VICTORY WON HERE BY AUBURN HI IN LAST GAME The fraternity is planning to sponsor several prominent speakers for their coming meeting but plans have not been completed and speakers have not been announced. They are also planning to assist in a youth movement campaign for the scout troops of Auburn. The officers for the fraternity are: Brandt Woodward, president; Franklin L.

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. Patronize Plainsman advertisers. Lovely...

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. Round m m Km™, FINAL PREPARATIONS FOR Enters Final g ^ m m j^y THURSDAY MADE BY 0.DX Noted Architectural 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 (Continued on page 4) Special Train Will Be Run To Columbus For Game Saturday Announcement has been made that the Central of Georgia Railway will operate a special train from Opelika to Columbus Saturday, November 23, to accommodate the Auburn football team, band and supporters. This special train will leave Opelika 10:00 A. M. and arrive in Columbus 10:45 A.M. and return leaving Columbus 5:30 P. M., arriving Opelika 6!*L5 P.Ml The above schedule will afford connections at Opelika with West Point train No. 37 from Montgomery and on return trip connection with West Point train No. 33 for Montgomery. It is expected a large number of football fans will use this special train 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. NOTICE! All members and pledges of Tau Beta Pi meet in front of the engineering building at 3:45 Thursday afternoon. R I P L E Y ! ! 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;' Famed Georgia Bulldog To Be Burned In Effigy At Meeting On Rat Football Field 8 P.M. CROWD EXPECTED Short Pep Talks Be Made By Team Coaches And Members Of Team; Bonfire Planned MIAMI PLANS BIG CELEBRATION FOR GATOR-TIGER TILT Football Festival Week Will Be Climaxed November 30 As Auburn And Florida Clash Increased Gum Chewing Noted As "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" :• • Five Are Selected By Education Fraternity — § Five students were given bids to Kappa Delta Pi, honorary society in Education, at the last meeting. Preceeding the banquet at the regular meeting in December, the following will be initiated: Joel Eaves, Atlanta;, Nellie Higgins, Lanett; C. B. Barker, Hefln; Mildred Bugg, Wad-ley; and Ernest Thornhill, Wetumpka. The qualifications for membership are based upon the student's scholastic standing, leadership and teaching ability. They must be a junior or above in academic rating. 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.

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. CHEWS YORE PODNER By Gum EDITOR'S NOTE: The opinions expressed in this column are not necessarily the editorial opinions of this paper. It is a column of personal, comment, and is not to be read as an expression of our editorial policy. 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- * AUBURN FOOTPRINTS Judge: "You admit ybu drove over this man with a loaded truck?"

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. EMPHATIC EUPHONIES By Guest Columnist EDITOR'S NOTE: The opinions expressed in this column are not necessarily the editorial opinions of this paper. It is a column of personal comment, and is not to be read as an expression of our editorial policy. * * * * 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. * * * * It's a dastardly lie, this rumor that the craze for cheek-to-cheek dancing was instigated by the Razor Blade interests. * * * * 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". * * * * At last we know what an infant industry is—marriage. * * * * Thoughts and things: Dancing was invented by a fool like me—he found a girl he couldn't embrace any other way. . . . Sunday is the day you and I spend a nickel in church and thirty-five cents at the theatre. . . . a newspaper report says a London millionaire left 100 antique clocks in his will—what an estate to wind up. . . . one feels so silly looking into space attempting to think of nauseating nonsense with which to fill this column. * * * * Shawts: Who was it that wrote last year of a couple of campus sweethearts flat-footing it to a certain destination "on and on like eternal rain"? . . . Parrish, who formerly wrote juicy comments for this sheet . . . Wingo and Wadsworth? . . . Yeah, it does look serious. . . . we forgot our pencil and pad and didn't get many of names after last night's show . . . but "Speedy" Wallace, who stops sleeping long enough twice weekly to issue this paper, supplies us with the following info: his colleague, Herman Harris, is still "that way" over Frances Ashurst . . .

WEDNESDAY, NOV. 20, 193S T H E A U B U R N P L A I N S M AN A L A B A M A P O L Y T E C H N I C INSTITUTE P A G E T H R EE 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."

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. Patronize Plainsman advertisers. Lovely...
