Semi-Weekly Plainsman Saturday Issue ©fj£ Auburn plainsman Don't Forget To Vote! TO F O S T E R THE A U B U R N S P I R IT VOLUME LIX AUBURN, ALABAMA, SATURDAY, OCT. 19, 1935 NUMBER 11 ORCHESTRA FOR MID-TERM DANCES TO BE CHOSEN BY STUDENTS SAYS CHAIRMAN Balloting By Student Body For Most Popular Orchestra Will Be Held All Next Week NEVER DONE BEFORE AH Ballots Must Be Properly Signed; Results Will Be' Announced In Plainsman Later For the first time in the history of the college the student body will select the orchestra to play for the midterm dances, January 23, 24, and 25. This move was made by C. Witty Walter, chairman of the Social Committee, in hopes that for the first time the student body would have no kick to make concerning the orchestra selected for the dances. The intention is to have the best possible orchestra obtainable to play for the Junior Hop this year. In this issue of the Plainsman there appears a ballot to be filled out by each student giving his three choices for an orchestra, first, second, and third in the order of preference. The ballot will be signed by the student along with his class and deposited in a ballot box, either at the Tiger Drug Store or at Benson's. Balloting will continue through next week. In succeeding issue of the Plainsman next week the results of the ballot count will be published. It is hoped that in this way an orchestra can be obtained that will meet with the approval of the majority of students. All students are urged to fill out the ballot as requested at the soonest possible time. No ballot will be counted which does not contain the student's name and class. The final results of the poll will be published Wednesday week, with the possibility that the orchestra selected will also be announced. Walter states that no promises are made, as the orchestra receiving the greatest number of votes may not be obtainable. In such case, either the second or third choice orchestras will be selected. Extra ballots for those who are unable to vote the first time will be printed in the Wednesday and Saturday papers of next week. Will Speak Here PRODUCTION OF PLAYERS GROUP BE GIVEN SOON Students To Take Part In Amateur Program At Tiger, Knights To Play "Death Takes A Holiday" Will Be Given By Auburn Players In Langdon Hall, Nov. 12 REHEARSALS HELD I ] Materials Have Arrived And Work Has Begun On New Stage Set; Open To Public The three act comedy, "Death Takes a Holiday", will be given by the Auburn Players in Langdon Hall, November 12 at 8 o'clock. So far as is known there will be only one showing | of the play. DR. RYLAND KNIGHT, one of South's outstanding preachers, to speak at Baptist Church next week. KNIGHT TO APPEAR AT LOCAL CHURCH IN LECTURE SERIES Popular Student Speaker Who Will Be At Baptist Church From October 20 Through 27 Classical Dancers Be In Auburn October 24 Edwin Strawbridge and his group of classical dancers will appear in Langdon Hall here at 8:30 p. m. Thursday, Oct. 24, as the first of the Concert Series sponsored by the Auburn Glee Club. Strawbridge and his group is rated as one of the outstanding teams of classical dancers in the country. Featured also in the concert will be Lisa Parnoya, formerly of the opera in Cologne, Germany. She has appeared in many European cities and has danced with great success in New York. Miss Christine McCann, well-known Alabama violinist, is in charge of the series. Her sponsorship of a similar series last year by the Alabama Music League proved highly successful. For the period beginning October 20th through October 27th the Baptist Church of Auburn is offering to the student body, the City of Auburn and others the benefit of a series of addresses by one of the South's outstanding preachers, Dr. Ryland Knight of the Second Ponce de Leon Baptist Church of Atlanta, Georgia. Dr. Knight did his undergraduate work at Princeton; receiving the A.B. degree in 1896 with honors. Since that time he has done graduate work in the Southern Baptist Theological Seminary in Louisville, Kentucky and in the University of Richmond. A native Kentuckian, he has held pastorates in Kentucky, Tennessee and Georgia in the larger cities. At one time he served in St. Louis, Missouri, and since 1931 has been connected with his present church in Atlanta. Dr. Knight is especially popular with students having been one of the most outstanding among speakers which were heard during the past summer at a meeting of more than a thousand students at Ridge Crest, North Cai'olina. Baptist Church officials offer such a program because they feel the importance at this time of emphasizing the religious life of the campus and the town according to a statement of the local pastor, Dr. J. R. Edwards. Two services will be held daily; one at 11:00 A.M., and the other at 7:30 P. M. Rehearsals are being held five nights out of the week at the "Y" Hut, with rapid headway being made on the production. Materials for the scenery have arrived, and an entirely new set will be builWor the play as well as for future plays this year, according to Prof. E . C. Blackshear, who is directing the local thespians. Work on the scenery will get underway early next week under the direction of Bill Hendricks and stage manager. Darrell Crawford will be the electrician. Neither has announced his assistants, and all those interested in this type of work are invited to the "Y" Hut Monday afternoon. Georgia Lee Jackson is student assistant producer for the play; Eugene Simmons is prompter. Except on nights when dress rehearsals are being held, an invitation has been extended by Prof. Blackshear to those who might be interested in watching the players in the process of rehearsing for the production. Prices have been announced as 25 cents for faculty members, students and townspeople; and 15 cents for children. The local chapter of the Business and Professional Women's Club will sponsor the sale of tickets. Because of the extremely low price of admission, the number of tickets sold will have to be greater than heretofore since the royalty on the play is 50 dollars. "Tiger Rag" Will Be Delivered Next Week Announcement will be made soon on windows uptown as to the exact date when the "Tiger Rag" will be distributed and sold. It is expected that the magazine will be here either Monday or Tuesday of next week, and it will be given out at the Tiger Drug Store. Those who have already subscribed for the publication are asked to bring their receipts to the drug store and get their copy. Anyone desiring to contribute jokes or articles for future issues can do so by first getting in touch with George Quinney, 321 W. Magnolia, or phone 200. Featuring an array of talent from the best Auburn has to offer, the first amateur show of the year will be held next Tuesday night at 8:45 at the Tiger Theatre, according to Foreman Rogers, manager. Included in the eight acts will be an accordion duet, two tap dancers, a singing duet, and "Wags", a trained dog. In addition to other difficult stunts, "Wags" will perform his specialty of riding a bicycle in the regular prescribed fashion. Several more acts have been.arranged but their nature has not yet been revealed. The Auburn Knights will form the supporting cast for the amateurs and, besides playing the accompaniment to all the numbers, will be featured in two new novelties. The feature picture which will be in addition to the rest of the show is Katherine Hepburn's latest starring vehicle, "Alice Adams". She is supported in this picture by Fred McMurray and Evelyn Venable . Work Progressing On State Park Near City Chawacle State Park, located four miles from Auburn on the old Wright's Mill site, is being constructed at a cost of one-half million dollars and will cover an area of 530 acres. It is one of the many parks of its kind built for public use and enjoyment. Work done thus far on this project has been the construction' of roads and scenic paths. An old bicycle trail used 40 years ago by Dean George Petrie and other faculty members of that day, has been repaired as much as possible and will be used as a pathway. Paths are to lead to the top of the hills, and at intervals seats will be provided for the hikers to rest. A rock dam is to be started soon which will be placed at a strategic point between two hills. A lake of 15 acres will be formed. This part of the park will afford the two main recreational facilities, boating and swimming. However, when the work on the entire project has been completed, it is hoped that tennis courts and, possibly, a golf course will have been constructed. Labor for this work is being sup- PLANS LAID FOR ANNUAL AG FAIR ON NOVEMBER 1 Much Enthusiasm Being Shown By A g Students For Fair; To Be Largest In Several Years FLOATS PLANNED Each Department On Ag Hill To Prepare Float Depicting Work Of Particular Branch AUBURN ENGAGES WYNNE'S WILDCATS SATURDAY WITH OUTCOME BEING DOUBTFUL Back In Uniform Plans are rapidly being completed for the annual Ag Fair which is to be held on Friday, November 1st. Much enthusiasm is being shown by the agriculture students and indications point to the largest and most original affair of this sort to be staged in the last several years. A parade of floats through town at three o'clock is to open the program. Each department on Ag Hill will prepare a float depicting the work carried on in that particular branch of agriculture. There are to be a dozen of these exhibits. At seven-thirty that evening the real fair begins. This program, which is always one of the most colorful events staged by agriculture students, has been arranged this time to be much better than before. A lighting system has been devised, and two sections of seats will be placed on the east campus of Comer Hall to accommodate the large attendance expected. Among the stunts presented will be a buck dance, mock faculty, sophomore-freshman wheel-barrow polo encounter, greasy pole climbing, boxing match, and numerous others. Dusty Rhodes' Ag Hill strong band is to furnish the music. For the first time the F.F.A. chapter is to be on the program and is expected to give a good account of itself. The Home Ec. department will also put on a stunt and probably crown the "Queen of Harvest". J. K. Howard is thev senior manager of the fair this year, and Wilbur Kel-ley has recently been elected junior manager. These two students have appointed committees to assist them in preparing a program of events that will be different and more interesting than the usual stunts put on every past year.

Outstanding Undergraduates Of Business School Tapped At Reception Held Tuesday Reserve Officers Will Have Meeting Monday The Auburn chapter of the Reserve Officers Association will meet here Monday evening, 7:30, in the engineer classroom located in the basement of plied by the CCC camp located at j „ , , „ ,, Wright's Mill, aided by a group of engineers under the direction of the I Alabama Department of Forestry and Re-Exams Taken Only By Small Group Here Approximately 125 reexaminations were taken during the past week. According to the number of conditioned grades, 733, for the first semester of last year, only a small minority took the reexams. Until 1932-33 there were no re-exams. Pupils making 60 did not have another try at the course but repeated it instead. One of the' primary advantages of taking reexaminations is that they enable one to apply his time to studying new material rather than repeating old courses. The senior privilege is another phase of reexaminations. This privilege allows each senior to take a re- Number Enrolled In Graduate Work Here exam on one subject in which he might have made a grade below 60. ers in agriculture Dr. George Petrie, graduate dean says the enrollment for the graduate school since last September totals 310, and this number will be increased before the end of the school year. Auburn has been giving master degrees for forty-nine years. The first graduate school in 1887-8 had six students. Many theses of the graduates have been published in whole or part in the technical journals of the country. Fellowships in other universities have been awarded on the basis of outstanding work done getting materials for the thesis. Auburn's graduate students have won distinction in almost every pathway. They are listed as college presidents, heads of large city school systems, professors in leading universities, distinguished lawyers and doctors, experts in the technical departments of the United States Government, the Army and prominent lead- New Service Offered To Telegram Senders According to a report from Miss Anne Wilson, manager of the local Western Union Office, the "Tourate Telegram", the first service of its kind in history, became effective October 14. This is a special telegram for travellers at a flat rate 35 cents for 15 words between any two Western Union offices in the United States. Any words in excess of the 15 relating strictly to conditions of the trip will be charged for at the regular telegram additional-word rate. State Parks. Auburn students and townspeople are invited to view the work underway, but are requested to be careful not to leave any matches or cigarets burning in the woods as leaves are very dry at this time of the year. Office Of President Is Now Being Renovated The offices of Dr. L. N. Duncan and Mr. P. O. Davis in Samford Hall are being renovated, work being done under the direction of Prof. Dan Jones. The offices have been repainted, old wiring and lighting systems done away with and new systems installed. An improved buzzer system has also been put in. Office equipment is to be arranged for maximum convenience. Work is expected to be completed sometime this week. Football Matinee Be Given Here Tomorrow Col. R. S. Sugg, local chapter president, will be in charge of the program and speakers will include Capt. R. A. Betts and other members of the i Association. The main topic of discussion will be the duties and place in the Nation's defense of the Reserve Officer. Other matters of current importance to Reserve Officers will be discussed. The public is invited to the meeting and it is urged by Colonel Sugg that every Reserve Officer in this vicinity be present. Because the Kentucky game in Montgomery will not be broadcast, another football matinee will be held in Langdon Hall tomorrow at 2:30 o'clock for those unable to attend the game. Returns will be brought direct from the field by special leased wire, giving play by play details of the game. Plays will also be shown graphically on the newly constructed miniature football gridiron. A cash prize of ten dollars will be given to the person who guesses the correct score of the game. N O T I C E ! Students who have not yet had their Glomerata picture made are asked to go by the office and obtain an appointment. The photographer will be in Auburn for only two more weeks. Any new organization which hasn't had a panel in the annual and which intends to have one this year is asked to notify the business manager at the soonest possible time. Future Farmers Hear Dean Judd In Speech "Man must love something bigger than himself if he is to be of service", said Dean Judd in a speech last Tuesday night to the Collegiate Chapter of Future Farmers of America. In pointing out the importance of organization, Dean Judd stated that respect for an organization gives man courage and inspiration to meet the challenges that tasks may offer. Preceding Dean Judd's speech the Chapter accepted an invitation from the Ag Club to take an active part in the Ag Fair and to cooperate in every way possible to help make the Fair a success. Delta Sigma Pi, international business and professional honorary fraternity at the first social meeting of the year tapped eleven pledges from undergraduates in the School of Business Administration. Those pledged at this time were: Fletcher Bullard, deFuniak Springs, Fla.; Bruce McGehee, Auburn; F. Y. Connor, Tuskegee; W. H. Persons, Birmingham; George Perry,^Cuthbert, Ga.; J. P. Handley, Birmingham; Charles Adams, Alexander City; Jack Vann, Headland; Ellis Dunning, Thomasville; Bill Radney, Alexander City; and Dan C. Smith, Clanton. At this meeting the scholastic cup was awarded to Dan C. Smith for his having the highest average in the freshman class last year. Smith's average for the two semesters was 92.3. The social was given in the form of a reception to all new students in the department. The welcome was expressed by Yank Jackson, president of the group. Jackson also gave a brief history of the fraternity telling of its aims and purposes. Dean J. W. Scott, head of the Department of Science and Literature, made the principal address of the evening. In his talk Dean Scott told of the plans and goals of the school and showed the close connection between the society and the department. As a conclusion, Dean Scott announced that the School of Science and Literature would be moved to its new quarters in Broun Hall before Christmas. He also stated that reading, writing and other facilities would be installed for the use of all in the department. N O T I C E ! Students dancing class will meet Monday night from 7:00 to 9:00 at the Recreation Hall. For further information see Mrs. Jolly. Annie Laurie Davis. Officers Installed By Local American Legion The John Wills Post of the American Legion held its installation of officers meeting last Monday night. There were a number of visitors from out of town posts, Opelika having several of its members present. A total number of about twenty-five were present at the meeting. The main speaker for the occasion was Executive Committeeman Patterson from Pheonix City. Interesting talks were also given by Col. Franke and Mr. Woodruff, Executive Committeeman, stressing the importance for the American Legion to back up all civic organizations. The officers installed were: A. D. Burke, Committeeman; J, C. McKin-non, vice-committeeman; G. G. Stewart, Adjutant. By Bill Troup The Auburn Tigers, appearing in their last game in the State until clashing with Oglethorpe on their home field, will meet the University of Kentucky Wildcats at Cramton Bowl in Montgomery tomorrow afternoon. The largest crowd ever to witness a. grid spectacle in the Capitol City is expected to attend the Tiger-Wildcat battle, which is one of the headline scraps of the week and is Auburn's third straight against the stiff-est competition in the Southeastern Conference. The Bengals have been practicing hard all week to bolster up the weak spots in the front line. Most of the damage done by the Vols was off tackle and around the flanks. The coaches have concentrated this past week on the play of those two positions to drive the Kentucky running attack in, and are doing things to develop a faster breaking, more deceptive offense. Auburn will not be able to spring even a slight leak in its defense against Kentucky. Boasting of a pair of the best backs in the country in Johnson and Davis, the Tigers really have a tough assignment trying to hold these threats in check. The Bengal's hopes were dimmed Tuesday when Wilton Kilgore, smashing fullback, went down with an injury in scrimmage. He is definitely out of the game. Kilgore has been a wheel horse in the Tiger backfield, particularly in backing up the line on defense. Bunky O'Rourke will take his place at fullback. Morris, who received a leg injury in the Tennessee tilt, is also a doubtful starter. Hamp Williams will be there to fill in if needed. Williams is improving in practice and has plenty of scrap. At the other flank will be stationed Strange. Auburn will have its two regular tackles in the starting lineup tomorrow, Paterson and Rodgers, the later returning to form after a brief illness. Sam McCroskey will probably start at guard. At the other guard position will be Gantt, a hard and powerful blocker. (Continued on page 4) Low Water Supply In Tuskegee Is Problem Tuskegee's water supply has become a serious problem, due to the recent drouth. The city is dependent upon five or six wet weather springs for its supply of water, and the production of these springs is decreasing each day. Mayor G. B. Edwards said it would probably be necessary to "ration" the water as has been done in previous drouths. Aside from the possible menace to the public health and the fact that if a conflagration should occur the town would be helpless to combat the flames, the inability to supply water has all but paralyzed the growth of the town.

A Possible Solution In the near future the Publications Committee will meet for the purpose of formulating a set of definite rules and regulations to govern the election of publication heads this year. Year after year the eligibility of candidates for the positions of editor and business manager of the Plainsman and for the same offices of the Glomerata is a paramount issue on the campus. It is understood that the four publications offices are by far the most important positions held by students of the college. Each office carries with it a large amount of responsibility, which cannot be shirked under any circumstances. For this reason it is essential that only the most capable students be allowed to compete each year in the election for the different publications heads. Last year considerable comment was aroused over the proposition that the publications heads be selected by the publications committee, thereby doing away entirely with the election by the student body of these men. This fact, probably more than anything else, caused the matter to be dropped. The spring election is the most important event of the college year. To have the four most important offices filled by committee selection rather than by student election would naturally detract to a certain degree from the thrill and excitement usually associated with the elections. Rather than limit the number of candidates eligible for election to publication heads, it is desired that as many as possible be given the opportunity to compete for the positions. In order to do this it has been suggested that the Publications Committee be given the authority to pass upon the qualifications of the aspirants and select those only best qualified for the job. Because a man has worked for the required nine months on the staff of the Plainsman does not by any means qualify him to assume the position as editor of the paper. On the other hand there may be a student who has had considerable experience in newspaper work but for some reason or other has not been connected with the Plainsman for the required length of time. • Under the existing regulations he would not be allowed to run for the editorship of the paper, whereas the other man, less able to handle the job, would be given the necessary approval. As a remedy for this situation the Publications Committee would assume the responsibility of saying which potential candidates were qualified for the positions and which were not, regardless of how many months or years each had worked on the staff. This system, if put in force, would insure the student body that only the best qualified men each year would be elected to the different publications offices. From the Copy Basket It is not often in this day and age that something is given for nothing. Usually you will find that everything of value has its price. It, would, perhaps, cause a bit of adverse comment to say that our college is receiving something, a valuable something, for practically no cost. This valuable something is publicity, and Auburn has been receiving some very high class publicity from the Glee Club for no expenditure on its part. Not many people understand what the Glee Club is here. It is taken more or less with the same thought that they give the band, or debating team. They don't realize that it is an organization that is entirely on its own. What it becomes on the campus or off the campus depends entirely upon the members themselves. Auburn has been fortunate in having enough students interested in glee club work to carry on without the financial help extended to other similar organizations on the campus. The authorities seem to take the attitude that the members receive enough compensation from the pleasure that they get from the work. This kind of compensation will not buy music, pay the director, finance trips, and pay numerous other expenses. It is from the pockets of the members themselves that this money has been forthcoming. Through the efforts of the Glee Club to raise money, such instructive entertainment as the concert series of the Alabama Music League is brought here. It cannot be hoped that the club will realize much pecuniary gain in such an enterprise. Such a concert is not presented for the purpose of bringing financial gain to the sponsors. The money that they will receive will be appreciated for the fact that it means less coming from the members themselves. Auburn's Glee Club—it should be the Student's Glee Club—has, in the past, been taking tours through different parts of Alabama, and the contacts that they have made have been responsible for the bringing of freshmen here. In the college catalog, the Glee Club went out to high school seniors throughout the state on the folder with the letter to them. The college admits that the Glee Club is a drawing card to be used to further the advancement of the institution, and the authorities should realize that willingness can be overworked.

These girls that were chosen will be given a course in acting under the guidance of Oliver Hinsdell, who, has graduated such LETTERS TO THE EDITOR Dear Editor: I am writing this letter in reply to the Editorial which appeared in the Plainsman last week concerning the financial affairs of the Executive Cabinet. I agree with the writer of the editorial that the student body should be informed as to where the money goes that they pay at registration each term. The student body should be informed as to where the money they pay out in the form of the fifty cents Cabinet fee goes as well as the student activities fee. The proper channel to inform the students of the about is through the school paper. I regret that no financial statement was made of the expenditures for the preceding year and wish to assure the student body that proper financial statement of the Executive Cabinet will be placed before them in the Plainsman at the proper time, near the end of the term of the present Cabinet. For the present, I should like for the student body to have some idea of the amount of money handled by the Executive Cabinet and just how this money is handled. Also, it is my purpose in writing this letter to inform the student body in a general way just how this money is going to be spent. The money which the student body pays during registration to be placed at the disposal of the Executive Cabinet and to be handled by the Executive Cabinet in the interest of the student body is fifty cents per screen players as Jean Parker, Betty Fur-ness, and Mary Carlisle from this scientific school. The school is conducted just as any other schools of instruction with lessons, drills and all the routine necessary to learning subjects. The group can be seen in both acting and dancing roles in the cast of the musical headed by Jack Benny and including Una Merkel, June Knight, and Robert Taylor. Maybe we have some of that stuff that it takes to make contract signers for the movies right here on the campus. Be on the ole guard fellows you may be dating a future Harlow or something. * * * * From the hue and cry concerning the proposed Auburn-Alabama football game one would think that the two schools were committing a crime in not playing each other. The great concern felt and expressed by aggitators of the proposed game make one pause to think what the real reason for the question being important enough for both the time and thought of some of the biggest men in the state. The Governor even comes in and says that he wants the game because it would let all know that there was no bad blood between the state's two institutions of higher learning. Also, that it would be good for both schools if the two played. All that sounds very well when heard over the radio or read in the newspaper, but there must be something else that prompts the busy business and state men to pass more than casual comment on the subject. The one big thing that comes to my mtnd first is the large amount that would be taken in at the gate before the game is actually played. Naturally we do like to think that those of the state who have the best interest at heart for the institutions of learning would be prompted to a move by the desire to make a lot of money. Yet that is the real reason that anyone could have to get so worked up as some people have. There was one group that went so far as to try to have a law passed forcing the two schools to play a game of football. There is more behind such enthusiasm than just plain good old "school spirit". The number of people who would attend such a game is inestimable, except through a ballot, but if you think of it a few minutes you can understand that there would be more wanting to see the game than is seating room in any stadium in the state. The only thing to do is use the biggest one available and that one in Birmingham. And that city seems to be the seat of all the agitation. Then it cannot be for the good of the school alone that such interest is shown in a mere athletic encounter. To my mind there is just one thing that feeds this fire of an "Auburn-Alabama" game and that is the great god $. • The schools certainly do not need to play each other to maintain a high standard or place in the "pigskin" sun. That is shown by the fact that since the teams have not been playing each other just as much and more has been accomplished by both teams. Then too, much can be said about the friendly feeling as displayed between the two schools. Such a thing a few years ago was unheard of. Today there is no show of anything but friendship between Alabama and Auburn. This has come about since the two institutions have not been pitted against each other. Conditions are such that to revert to the old days would be to the colleges like returning to the #ays of the "Gay Nineties" for the moderns. I think that such decisions should be left up to the coaches and the athletic associations of the individual schools. They are the ones paid to run the thing and they seem to be "doing very nicely, thank you". student plus two per cent of the student activities fee. This money is paid in to the accountant's office and no member of the Executive Cabinet ever handles one cent of this. The Executive Cabinet only authorizes the spending of this money by the accountant through an efficient college requisition system. All expenditures of the Executive Cabinet are made by requisition through the college with the approval of Mr. P. 0. Davis, Executive Secretary. I am including with this letter a list of approved expenditures of the Executive Cabinet which has also been approved by Mr. P. 0. Davis. This is a temporary budget of the expenditures of the Executive Cabinet, but will suffice to give the student body some idea as to where the money that they paid into the Executive Cabinet will go this year. I feel certain that it is of equal interest to the students to know where the money goes that they pay to the college in the form of the student activities fee, which amounts to $17.50 per year. Part of this money goes to the Executive Cabinet as shown in the budget, 2 per cent to be exact. Part goes to the Athletic Department, and the student gets the student ticket books from that sum. Part goes to the Plainsman and part to the Glomerata, and certain other organizations get a certain per cent. All of these organizations are listed under the organizations of Group A and Group B in the Constitution and By-Laws of the Executive Cabinet. Also, according to the By-Laws of the Executive Cabinet, all of these organizations are required to file a financial report with the Executive Cabinet. None of these organizations have ever filed a financial report with the Executive Cabinet since it has been in existence. Should this not be done? Should not the student governing body have a financial report of all student money? Are not the students just as interested in knowing where that money is going? Are not the students as interested in knowing where $17.50 of their money is going as they are in knowing what becomes of $0.50. I should like for all of the organizations which handle the students' money to care-fully read the Constitution and By-Laws of the Executive Cabinet and to take into consideration the fact that they are handling the students' money and that the students should be informed as to how this money is being used.

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. * * * * CONGRATULATIONS are in order to Birmingham for the noble way which the city and all the business institutions seemed to take unusual interest in fostering the Auburn Spirit in Birmingham for the game last week-end. For the first time in years Birmingham seemed to turn things over to Auburn with a special Auburn Day and the like. In the past Birmingham has obviously favored Alabama with Montgomery Auburn's dependable backer. For this reason the interest shown by Birmingham was particularly noticed and appreciated. No little of this interest was fostered by the wide awake alumni association under the direction of Maurice Bloch. * * * * Football season and a continuous episode of week-ends. Classes a necessity—a break between trips, a rest period. A time of planning for the next Friday afternoon's departure. Back on Sunday with nothing done pnd nothing to look forward to until the next week-end. A habit for the first semester! * * * * But for those who make an Auburn weekend find those days to be a strange part of the calendar. Lazing around on Saturday with full intention of two days of work —nothing done by mid-afternoon—then wander up town and there must be some entertainment for the evening. -Up late Sunday morning and close communication with the paper until it's too late to go to church as had been plans—so another hour of lounging. Dinner and the afternoon show. And with if begins another week. Sometimes on Sunday night some work is done—sometime. So this is college! * * * * A Sunday night train carries one of the most interesting assortments of humanity to be found. That is with the back to school crowd after a football week-end. There a couple of talkative ladies stopping their gossip to eavesdrop on a circle of collegians who pop one or two. The ladies look at each other then stifle a laugh behind a loose knit shawl. But they don't talk any more—they listen for another. Through the train a regular army marching, marching. Never sit down from one end of the trip to the other. The train rocks and off one or two lunge into a lap. . . Who-o-o, and her husband is sitting next her—and he's big too. So off the marchers go again to try another car. The conductor comes by taking tickets. Down goes a passenger's head into a magazine— a cut of an eye, but he says nothing. Ticket taken from the fellow next to him, and then the conductor is off down the train calling "Tickets". Another ride for him on that ticket. He must feel a little bad about that—the crowds are hard to keep up with when there is so much wandering about. But if he can get by with it—get by with it, I suppose. A lady alone and a "tight" boards the train. Give him two minutes and he is sitting next to her. That is just the beginning. All his friends come to talk to him—to her. They didn't have the nerve until he started it. Shortly it's a gathering and there are no strangers among the group. No promising young lady is alone on the Sunday night train back to school. The college crowd gets by with it. Nothing is said. A "butch" on the train. Walks back and forth and always its candy, fruit, and drinks. Suppose there are few who travel so many miles to get nowhere in particular. Miles and miles they cover' but they are always walking up and down a two-foot aisle. * * * * And speaking of football. Rosie says it never pays to wear a new pair of shoes on Saturday afternoon. Football games and new shoes just do not go together. * * * * One of Auburn's greatest nickel savers is the news stand in front of Homer Wright's drug store. Students and professors alike will walk up and glance at the headlines. One hand will dig down for a coin. During the search the front page is given a complete once over. But then the prospect is concerned with the news inside. Is it worth reading —worth buying a paper for? The coin is released while the paper is spread wide. He reads Popeye, then reaches back for the coin. Again he scans the front page and reads a little more fully the main news story. Ten minutes elapse and he has devoured the front page. The coin jingles back to the bottom of the pocket. He smiles and replaces the paper neatly on the stand. He stuffs out his chest and is off down the street—making money!—Nickel saved!

He held a tryout Thursday afternoon to pick the team that will represent Auburn this year. The harriers ran a three mile course, the team being picked from the first seven finishing. i The squad is composed of 15 members: Captain Bill Emery, Powers, Chandler, Stinson, Cothran, Steppe, Lee, Chambers, Oates, Dunning, Barlow, Gresham, Morris, Arruza, and Duncan. Emery, Powers, Chandler, and Stinson are the outstanding members of the squad and these four men are expected to be the backbone of this year's team. The rest will fight it out for the other three places. Three meets have been scheduled for this season thus far. Auburn will meet Georgia Tech's tracksters on Saturday, October 26, here at Auburn. This will be the only home meet of the season. The second meet will be held against Florida in Gainsville on November 16. Auburn has been invited to participate in an invitational meet to be held in Atlanta on Thanksgiving Day, November 28. All schools in the S. E. C. are invited. This affair is known as the Atlanta Journal Southeastern Conference Cross-Coun-try Championship. Last Week's Games Did Little Toward Eliminating Contenders; L. S. U. And Vanderbilt Have Edge On Kentucky, Tulane, Auburn, Tennessee, Georgia, And Miss.; Alabama Upset MOORE JEWELER A N D OPTOMETRIST Diamonds—Watchei—Jewelry—Spectacles—Clocks—Silverware Repairing and Engraving a Specialty Opelika, Ala. the word of Mr. Wynne, who played at Notre Dame with Gipp and -who has seen in action dozens of All-Amer-ican halfbacks since that time, there has never been a runner with the potency of the speedster from the coal fields of Ashland, Kentucky. Eight varsity regulars are back on deck this year, with strong reserves and an army of promising newcomers ready to lend substantial assistance. The Wildcats had a team last year that showed real possibilities. This year it is stronger in all departments. The backfield is more versatile. In addition to Bert Johnson, All-Southern of '34, the blue and white gridders have Abie Ayers and Bob Davis, the latter a sophomore who is America's leading scorer at present. Kentucky has a heavy and fairly mobile line. Janes, the very fine center, is gone but Gene Myers is filling the gap nicely. Nevers and Skaggs are warding off opposition at the tackle posts, while Potter has about cinched one guard position. Jimmie Long The Southeastern Conference situation is still in quite an uproar with any one of the eight teams liable to cop the title. This week's games did but' little towards eliminating any of the contenders. However, as the situation now stands L. S. U. and Vanderbilt seem to have the edge on Kentucky, Tulane, Auburn, Tennessee, Georgia, and Mississippi. L. S. U. did not play a Conference game, but traveled north where they showed plenty of power in taking Manhattan 32-0. The Tigers chief worry at present seems to be the developing of an offensive for the game with Arkansas this weekend. Vanderbilt, who bowed to a superior Temple eleven last week, is searching the squad for a big boy who can toss the pigskin with some accuracy. Such a lad would be of great service against Fordham, which team they meet this weekend . Auburn lost to Tennessee 13-6 in a hard-fought battle. The defeat was due principally to the Tiger's fore-wall, heretofore considered invincible, failing to click. However, the defeat should do much towards giving the Bengals a "do-or-die" attitude in their game with Kentucky this weekend. Alabama's Crimson Tide was rolled back by Mississippi State to the tune of 20-7. The Tide will probably be minus the services of several of its Varsity men when they meet Tennessee this weekend, but the spirit in such that they will most certainly give the Vols a stiff battle. Tulane took Florida 19-7 in a rather thrilling game of which the score reveals nothing. The Green Wave is in for a real battle when they meet Minnesota this weekend. The Gophers are among the leaders in the Big Ten Conference and are a worthy foe for any eleven. Kentucky waded in against one of is captaining the team from one terminal. Joe Rupert's successor at the other flank has been Ellington thus far in the season. In the two opening games Coach Wynne's lads downed Maryville and Xavier. They threw a scare into Ohio State's Buckeyes while losing 19-6, and the best Tech team in several years was really no match for those Wildcats, Kentucky winning 25-6.

Three men will be presented each Friday, until the end of the season. This week we shall feature Captain "Mutt" Morris, Walter Gilbert, and Alternate Captain Haygood Paterson. Millard "Mutt" Morris, Captain of the Tiger eleven this year, consistently plays an outstanding game at end. A senior in the School of Education, he is 24 years old, stands six feet tall, tips the scales at 180 pounds, and has a modest, retiring nature. He attended Blountsville High School | and captained the football team there in his Senior year.

S. U. game last year and running 98 yards for a touchdown. At the close of the season last year he was given Ail-American mention as a reward for his excellent all-around playing. Walter Gilbert, star center of the team, is rated as the best center in the south. This likeable fellow is a Junior in the School of Education, is 20 years of age, weighs 192 pounds, is six feet, two inches tall, and attended Darlington High School. While in high school he proved himself to be an outstanding center, constantly breaking «up opponents' attacks. In his Senior year, while playing against the University School for Boys in Atlanta, he blocked a punt to score a touchdown. His inspired playing against Georgia Tech, together with his all-around playing last year, rated him a position on the All-Southern team and All-American mention. Alternate Captain Haygood Paterson, giant tackle, is one of the most genial men on the campus. Although but 22 years old, he stands 6 feet, 3 inches tall, and weighs 203( pounds— every bit of him solid muscle. A Senior in the School of Education, he is easily recognized because of his unusual size, ready smile, and his blond curly hair. Besides being a hard tackier, he specializes in blocking punts. In the 1934 season he blocked 2 or 3 punts against Florida and Georgia Tech besides sharing high-scoring honors with "Mutt" Morris. At the close of the '34 season he received All-American mention. Next week this column will present Hugh Rodgers, Gecrge Strange, and Joe Bob Mitchell.

OCR Transcript | Semi-Weekly Plainsman Saturday Issue ©fj£ Auburn plainsman Don't Forget To Vote! TO F O S T E R THE A U B U R N S P I R IT VOLUME LIX AUBURN, ALABAMA, SATURDAY, OCT. 19, 1935 NUMBER 11 ORCHESTRA FOR MID-TERM DANCES TO BE CHOSEN BY STUDENTS SAYS CHAIRMAN Balloting By Student Body For Most Popular Orchestra Will Be Held All Next Week NEVER DONE BEFORE AH Ballots Must Be Properly Signed; Results Will Be' Announced In Plainsman Later For the first time in the history of the college the student body will select the orchestra to play for the midterm dances, January 23, 24, and 25. This move was made by C. Witty Walter, chairman of the Social Committee, in hopes that for the first time the student body would have no kick to make concerning the orchestra selected for the dances. The intention is to have the best possible orchestra obtainable to play for the Junior Hop this year. In this issue of the Plainsman there appears a ballot to be filled out by each student giving his three choices for an orchestra, first, second, and third in the order of preference. The ballot will be signed by the student along with his class and deposited in a ballot box, either at the Tiger Drug Store or at Benson's. Balloting will continue through next week. In succeeding issue of the Plainsman next week the results of the ballot count will be published. It is hoped that in this way an orchestra can be obtained that will meet with the approval of the majority of students. All students are urged to fill out the ballot as requested at the soonest possible time. No ballot will be counted which does not contain the student's name and class. The final results of the poll will be published Wednesday week, with the possibility that the orchestra selected will also be announced. Walter states that no promises are made, as the orchestra receiving the greatest number of votes may not be obtainable. In such case, either the second or third choice orchestras will be selected. Extra ballots for those who are unable to vote the first time will be printed in the Wednesday and Saturday papers of next week. Will Speak Here PRODUCTION OF PLAYERS GROUP BE GIVEN SOON Students To Take Part In Amateur Program At Tiger, Knights To Play "Death Takes A Holiday" Will Be Given By Auburn Players In Langdon Hall, Nov. 12 REHEARSALS HELD I ] Materials Have Arrived And Work Has Begun On New Stage Set; Open To Public The three act comedy, "Death Takes a Holiday", will be given by the Auburn Players in Langdon Hall, November 12 at 8 o'clock. So far as is known there will be only one showing | of the play. DR. RYLAND KNIGHT, one of South's outstanding preachers, to speak at Baptist Church next week. KNIGHT TO APPEAR AT LOCAL CHURCH IN LECTURE SERIES Popular Student Speaker Who Will Be At Baptist Church From October 20 Through 27 Classical Dancers Be In Auburn October 24 Edwin Strawbridge and his group of classical dancers will appear in Langdon Hall here at 8:30 p. m. Thursday, Oct. 24, as the first of the Concert Series sponsored by the Auburn Glee Club. Strawbridge and his group is rated as one of the outstanding teams of classical dancers in the country. Featured also in the concert will be Lisa Parnoya, formerly of the opera in Cologne, Germany. She has appeared in many European cities and has danced with great success in New York. Miss Christine McCann, well-known Alabama violinist, is in charge of the series. Her sponsorship of a similar series last year by the Alabama Music League proved highly successful. For the period beginning October 20th through October 27th the Baptist Church of Auburn is offering to the student body, the City of Auburn and others the benefit of a series of addresses by one of the South's outstanding preachers, Dr. Ryland Knight of the Second Ponce de Leon Baptist Church of Atlanta, Georgia. Dr. Knight did his undergraduate work at Princeton; receiving the A.B. degree in 1896 with honors. Since that time he has done graduate work in the Southern Baptist Theological Seminary in Louisville, Kentucky and in the University of Richmond. A native Kentuckian, he has held pastorates in Kentucky, Tennessee and Georgia in the larger cities. At one time he served in St. Louis, Missouri, and since 1931 has been connected with his present church in Atlanta. Dr. Knight is especially popular with students having been one of the most outstanding among speakers which were heard during the past summer at a meeting of more than a thousand students at Ridge Crest, North Cai'olina. Baptist Church officials offer such a program because they feel the importance at this time of emphasizing the religious life of the campus and the town according to a statement of the local pastor, Dr. J. R. Edwards. Two services will be held daily; one at 11:00 A.M., and the other at 7:30 P. M. Rehearsals are being held five nights out of the week at the "Y" Hut, with rapid headway being made on the production. Materials for the scenery have arrived, and an entirely new set will be builWor the play as well as for future plays this year, according to Prof. E . C. Blackshear, who is directing the local thespians. Work on the scenery will get underway early next week under the direction of Bill Hendricks and stage manager. Darrell Crawford will be the electrician. Neither has announced his assistants, and all those interested in this type of work are invited to the "Y" Hut Monday afternoon. Georgia Lee Jackson is student assistant producer for the play; Eugene Simmons is prompter. Except on nights when dress rehearsals are being held, an invitation has been extended by Prof. Blackshear to those who might be interested in watching the players in the process of rehearsing for the production. Prices have been announced as 25 cents for faculty members, students and townspeople; and 15 cents for children. The local chapter of the Business and Professional Women's Club will sponsor the sale of tickets. Because of the extremely low price of admission, the number of tickets sold will have to be greater than heretofore since the royalty on the play is 50 dollars. "Tiger Rag" Will Be Delivered Next Week Announcement will be made soon on windows uptown as to the exact date when the "Tiger Rag" will be distributed and sold. It is expected that the magazine will be here either Monday or Tuesday of next week, and it will be given out at the Tiger Drug Store.

Featuring an array of talent from the best Auburn has to offer, the first amateur show of the year will be held next Tuesday night at 8:45 at the Tiger Theatre, according to Foreman Rogers, manager. Included in the eight acts will be an accordion duet, two tap dancers, a singing duet, and "Wags", a trained dog. In addition to other difficult stunts, "Wags" will perform his specialty of riding a bicycle in the regular prescribed fashion. Several more acts have been.arranged but their nature has not yet been revealed. The Auburn Knights will form the supporting cast for the amateurs and, besides playing the accompaniment to all the numbers, will be featured in two new novelties. The feature picture which will be in addition to the rest of the show is Katherine Hepburn's latest starring vehicle, "Alice Adams". She is supported in this picture by Fred McMurray and Evelyn Venable . Work Progressing On State Park Near City Chawacle State Park, located four miles from Auburn on the old Wright's Mill site, is being constructed at a cost of one-half million dollars and will cover an area of 530 acres. It is one of the many parks of its kind built for public use and enjoyment. Work done thus far on this project has been the construction' of roads and scenic paths. An old bicycle trail used 40 years ago by Dean George Petrie and other faculty members of that day, has been repaired as much as possible and will be used as a pathway. Paths are to lead to the top of the hills, and at intervals seats will be provided for the hikers to rest. A rock dam is to be started soon which will be placed at a strategic point between two hills. A lake of 15 acres will be formed. This part of the park will afford the two main recreational facilities, boating and swimming. However, when the work on the entire project has been completed, it is hoped that tennis courts and, possibly, a golf course will have been constructed. Labor for this work is being sup- PLANS LAID FOR ANNUAL AG FAIR ON NOVEMBER 1 Much Enthusiasm Being Shown By A g Students For Fair; To Be Largest In Several Years FLOATS PLANNED Each Department On Ag Hill To Prepare Float Depicting Work Of Particular Branch AUBURN ENGAGES WYNNE'S WILDCATS SATURDAY WITH OUTCOME BEING DOUBTFUL Back In Uniform Plans are rapidly being completed for the annual Ag Fair which is to be held on Friday, November 1st. Much enthusiasm is being shown by the agriculture students and indications point to the largest and most original affair of this sort to be staged in the last several years. A parade of floats through town at three o'clock is to open the program. Each department on Ag Hill will prepare a float depicting the work carried on in that particular branch of agriculture. There are to be a dozen of these exhibits. At seven-thirty that evening the real fair begins. This program, which is always one of the most colorful events staged by agriculture students, has been arranged this time to be much better than before. A lighting system has been devised, and two sections of seats will be placed on the east campus of Comer Hall to accommodate the large attendance expected. Among the stunts presented will be a buck dance, mock faculty, sophomore-freshman wheel-barrow polo encounter, greasy pole climbing, boxing match, and numerous others. Dusty Rhodes' Ag Hill strong band is to furnish the music. For the first time the F.F.A. chapter is to be on the program and is expected to give a good account of itself. The Home Ec. department will also put on a stunt and probably crown the "Queen of Harvest". J. K. Howard is thev senior manager of the fair this year, and Wilbur Kel-ley has recently been elected junior manager. These two students have appointed committees to assist them in preparing a program of events that will be different and more interesting than the usual stunts put on every past year.

According to the number of conditioned grades, 733, for the first semester of last year, only a small minority took the reexams. Until 1932-33 there were no re-exams. Pupils making 60 did not have another try at the course but repeated it instead. One of the' primary advantages of taking reexaminations is that they enable one to apply his time to studying new material rather than repeating old courses. The senior privilege is another phase of reexaminations. This privilege allows each senior to take a re- Number Enrolled In Graduate Work Here exam on one subject in which he might have made a grade below 60. ers in agriculture Dr. George Petrie, graduate dean says the enrollment for the graduate school since last September totals 310, and this number will be increased before the end of the school year. Auburn has been giving master degrees for forty-nine years. The first graduate school in 1887-8 had six students. Many theses of the graduates have been published in whole or part in the technical journals of the country. Fellowships in other universities have been awarded on the basis of outstanding work done getting materials for the thesis. Auburn's graduate students have won distinction in almost every pathway. They are listed as college presidents, heads of large city school systems, professors in leading universities, distinguished lawyers and doctors, experts in the technical departments of the United States Government, the Army and prominent lead- New Service Offered To Telegram Senders According to a report from Miss Anne Wilson, manager of the local Western Union Office, the "Tourate Telegram", the first service of its kind in history, became effective October 14. This is a special telegram for travellers at a flat rate 35 cents for 15 words between any two Western Union offices in the United States. Any words in excess of the 15 relating strictly to conditions of the trip will be charged for at the regular telegram additional-word rate. State Parks. Auburn students and townspeople are invited to view the work underway, but are requested to be careful not to leave any matches or cigarets burning in the woods as leaves are very dry at this time of the year. Office Of President Is Now Being Renovated The offices of Dr. L. N. Duncan and Mr. P. O. Davis in Samford Hall are being renovated, work being done under the direction of Prof. Dan Jones. The offices have been repainted, old wiring and lighting systems done away with and new systems installed. An improved buzzer system has also been put in. Office equipment is to be arranged for maximum convenience. Work is expected to be completed sometime this week. Football Matinee Be Given Here Tomorrow Col. R. S. Sugg, local chapter president, will be in charge of the program and speakers will include Capt. R. A. Betts and other members of the i Association. The main topic of discussion will be the duties and place in the Nation's defense of the Reserve Officer. Other matters of current importance to Reserve Officers will be discussed. The public is invited to the meeting and it is urged by Colonel Sugg that every Reserve Officer in this vicinity be present. Because the Kentucky game in Montgomery will not be broadcast, another football matinee will be held in Langdon Hall tomorrow at 2:30 o'clock for those unable to attend the game. Returns will be brought direct from the field by special leased wire, giving play by play details of the game. Plays will also be shown graphically on the newly constructed miniature football gridiron. A cash prize of ten dollars will be given to the person who guesses the correct score of the game. N O T I C E ! Students who have not yet had their Glomerata picture made are asked to go by the office and obtain an appointment. The photographer will be in Auburn for only two more weeks. Any new organization which hasn't had a panel in the annual and which intends to have one this year is asked to notify the business manager at the soonest possible time. Future Farmers Hear Dean Judd In Speech "Man must love something bigger than himself if he is to be of service", said Dean Judd in a speech last Tuesday night to the Collegiate Chapter of Future Farmers of America. In pointing out the importance of organization, Dean Judd stated that respect for an organization gives man courage and inspiration to meet the challenges that tasks may offer. Preceding Dean Judd's speech the Chapter accepted an invitation from the Ag Club to take an active part in the Ag Fair and to cooperate in every way possible to help make the Fair a success. Delta Sigma Pi, international business and professional honorary fraternity at the first social meeting of the year tapped eleven pledges from undergraduates in the School of Business Administration. Those pledged at this time were: Fletcher Bullard, deFuniak Springs, Fla.; Bruce McGehee, Auburn; F. Y. Connor, Tuskegee; W. H. Persons, Birmingham; George Perry,^Cuthbert, Ga.; J. P. Handley, Birmingham; Charles Adams, Alexander City; Jack Vann, Headland; Ellis Dunning, Thomasville; Bill Radney, Alexander City; and Dan C. Smith, Clanton. At this meeting the scholastic cup was awarded to Dan C. Smith for his having the highest average in the freshman class last year. Smith's average for the two semesters was 92.3. The social was given in the form of a reception to all new students in the department. The welcome was expressed by Yank Jackson, president of the group. Jackson also gave a brief history of the fraternity telling of its aims and purposes. Dean J. W. Scott, head of the Department of Science and Literature, made the principal address of the evening. In his talk Dean Scott told of the plans and goals of the school and showed the close connection between the society and the department. As a conclusion, Dean Scott announced that the School of Science and Literature would be moved to its new quarters in Broun Hall before Christmas. He also stated that reading, writing and other facilities would be installed for the use of all in the department. N O T I C E !

Officers Installed By Local American Legion The John Wills Post of the American Legion held its installation of officers meeting last Monday night. There were a number of visitors from out of town posts, Opelika having several of its members present. A total number of about twenty-five were present at the meeting. The main speaker for the occasion was Executive Committeeman Patterson from Pheonix City. Interesting talks were also given by Col. Franke and Mr. Woodruff, Executive Committeeman, stressing the importance for the American Legion to back up all civic organizations. The officers installed were: A. D. Burke, Committeeman; J, C. McKin-non, vice-committeeman; G. G. Stewart, Adjutant. By Bill Troup The Auburn Tigers, appearing in their last game in the State until clashing with Oglethorpe on their home field, will meet the University of Kentucky Wildcats at Cramton Bowl in Montgomery tomorrow afternoon. The largest crowd ever to witness a. grid spectacle in the Capitol City is expected to attend the Tiger-Wildcat battle, which is one of the headline scraps of the week and is Auburn's third straight against the stiff-est competition in the Southeastern Conference. The Bengals have been practicing hard all week to bolster up the weak spots in the front line. Most of the damage done by the Vols was off tackle and around the flanks. The coaches have concentrated this past week on the play of those two positions to drive the Kentucky running attack in, and are doing things to develop a faster breaking, more deceptive offense. Auburn will not be able to spring even a slight leak in its defense against Kentucky. Boasting of a pair of the best backs in the country in Johnson and Davis, the Tigers really have a tough assignment trying to hold these threats in check. The Bengal's hopes were dimmed Tuesday when Wilton Kilgore, smashing fullback, went down with an injury in scrimmage. He is definitely out of the game. Kilgore has been a wheel horse in the Tiger backfield, particularly in backing up the line on defense. Bunky O'Rourke will take his place at fullback. Morris, who received a leg injury in the Tennessee tilt, is also a doubtful starter. Hamp Williams will be there to fill in if needed. Williams is improving in practice and has plenty of scrap. At the other flank will be stationed Strange. Auburn will have its two regular tackles in the starting lineup tomorrow, Paterson and Rodgers, the later returning to form after a brief illness. Sam McCroskey will probably start at guard. At the other guard position will be Gantt, a hard and powerful blocker. (Continued on page 4) Low Water Supply In Tuskegee Is Problem Tuskegee's water supply has become a serious problem, due to the recent drouth. The city is dependent upon five or six wet weather springs for its supply of water, and the production of these springs is decreasing each day. Mayor G. B. Edwards said it would probably be necessary to "ration" the water as has been done in previous drouths. Aside from the possible menace to the public health and the fact that if a conflagration should occur the town would be helpless to combat the flames, the inability to supply water has all but paralyzed the growth of the town.

A Possible Solution In the near future the Publications Committee will meet for the purpose of formulating a set of definite rules and regulations to govern the election of publication heads this year. Year after year the eligibility of candidates for the positions of editor and business manager of the Plainsman and for the same offices of the Glomerata is a paramount issue on the campus. It is understood that the four publications offices are by far the most important positions held by students of the college. Each office carries with it a large amount of responsibility, which cannot be shirked under any circumstances. For this reason it is essential that only the most capable students be allowed to compete each year in the election for the different publications heads. Last year considerable comment was aroused over the proposition that the publications heads be selected by the publications committee, thereby doing away entirely with the election by the student body of these men. This fact, probably more than anything else, caused the matter to be dropped. The spring election is the most important event of the college year. To have the four most important offices filled by committee selection rather than by student election would naturally detract to a certain degree from the thrill and excitement usually associated with the elections. Rather than limit the number of candidates eligible for election to publication heads, it is desired that as many as possible be given the opportunity to compete for the positions. In order to do this it has been suggested that the Publications Committee be given the authority to pass upon the qualifications of the aspirants and select those only best qualified for the job. Because a man has worked for the required nine months on the staff of the Plainsman does not by any means qualify him to assume the position as editor of the paper. On the other hand there may be a student who has had considerable experience in newspaper work but for some reason or other has not been connected with the Plainsman for the required length of time. • Under the existing regulations he would not be allowed to run for the editorship of the paper, whereas the other man, less able to handle the job, would be given the necessary approval. As a remedy for this situation the Publications Committee would assume the responsibility of saying which potential candidates were qualified for the positions and which were not, regardless of how many months or years each had worked on the staff. This system, if put in force, would insure the student body that only the best qualified men each year would be elected to the different publications offices. From the Copy Basket It is not often in this day and age that something is given for nothing. Usually you will find that everything of value has its price. It, would, perhaps, cause a bit of adverse comment to say that our college is receiving something, a valuable something, for practically no cost. This valuable something is publicity, and Auburn has been receiving some very high class publicity from the Glee Club for no expenditure on its part. Not many people understand what the Glee Club is here. It is taken more or less with the same thought that they give the band, or debating team. They don't realize that it is an organization that is entirely on its own. What it becomes on the campus or off the campus depends entirely upon the members themselves. Auburn has been fortunate in having enough students interested in glee club work to carry on without the financial help extended to other similar organizations on the campus. The authorities seem to take the attitude that the members receive enough compensation from the pleasure that they get from the work. This kind of compensation will not buy music, pay the director, finance trips, and pay numerous other expenses. It is from the pockets of the members themselves that this money has been forthcoming. Through the efforts of the Glee Club to raise money, such instructive entertainment as the concert series of the Alabama Music League is brought here. It cannot be hoped that the club will realize much pecuniary gain in such an enterprise. Such a concert is not presented for the purpose of bringing financial gain to the sponsors. The money that they will receive will be appreciated for the fact that it means less coming from the members themselves. Auburn's Glee Club—it should be the Student's Glee Club—has, in the past, been taking tours through different parts of Alabama, and the contacts that they have made have been responsible for the bringing of freshmen here. In the college catalog, the Glee Club went out to high school seniors throughout the state on the folder with the letter to them. The college admits that the Glee Club is a drawing card to be used to further the advancement of the institution, and the authorities should realize that willingness can be overworked.

I agree with the writer of the editorial that the student body should be informed as to where the money goes that they pay at registration each term. The student body should be informed as to where the money they pay out in the form of the fifty cents Cabinet fee goes as well as the student activities fee. The proper channel to inform the students of the about is through the school paper. I regret that no financial statement was made of the expenditures for the preceding year and wish to assure the student body that proper financial statement of the Executive Cabinet will be placed before them in the Plainsman at the proper time, near the end of the term of the present Cabinet. For the present, I should like for the student body to have some idea of the amount of money handled by the Executive Cabinet and just how this money is handled. Also, it is my purpose in writing this letter to inform the student body in a general way just how this money is going to be spent. The money which the student body pays during registration to be placed at the disposal of the Executive Cabinet and to be handled by the Executive Cabinet in the interest of the student body is fifty cents per screen players as Jean Parker, Betty Fur-ness, and Mary Carlisle from this scientific school. The school is conducted just as any other schools of instruction with lessons, drills and all the routine necessary to learning subjects. The group can be seen in both acting and dancing roles in the cast of the musical headed by Jack Benny and including Una Merkel, June Knight, and Robert Taylor. Maybe we have some of that stuff that it takes to make contract signers for the movies right here on the campus. Be on the ole guard fellows you may be dating a future Harlow or something. * * * * From the hue and cry concerning the proposed Auburn-Alabama football game one would think that the two schools were committing a crime in not playing each other. The great concern felt and expressed by aggitators of the proposed game make one pause to think what the real reason for the question being important enough for both the time and thought of some of the biggest men in the state. The Governor even comes in and says that he wants the game because it would let all know that there was no bad blood between the state's two institutions of higher learning. Also, that it would be good for both schools if the two played. All that sounds very well when heard over the radio or read in the newspaper, but there must be something else that prompts the busy business and state men to pass more than casual comment on the subject. The one big thing that comes to my mtnd first is the large amount that would be taken in at the gate before the game is actually played. Naturally we do like to think that those of the state who have the best interest at heart for the institutions of learning would be prompted to a move by the desire to make a lot of money. Yet that is the real reason that anyone could have to get so worked up as some people have. There was one group that went so far as to try to have a law passed forcing the two schools to play a game of football. There is more behind such enthusiasm than just plain good old "school spirit". The number of people who would attend such a game is inestimable, except through a ballot, but if you think of it a few minutes you can understand that there would be more wanting to see the game than is seating room in any stadium in the state. The only thing to do is use the biggest one available and that one in Birmingham. And that city seems to be the seat of all the agitation. Then it cannot be for the good of the school alone that such interest is shown in a mere athletic encounter. To my mind there is just one thing that feeds this fire of an "Auburn-Alabama" game and that is the great god $. • The schools certainly do not need to play each other to maintain a high standard or place in the "pigskin" sun. That is shown by the fact that since the teams have not been playing each other just as much and more has been accomplished by both teams. Then too, much can be said about the friendly feeling as displayed between the two schools. Such a thing a few years ago was unheard of. Today there is no show of anything but friendship between Alabama and Auburn. This has come about since the two institutions have not been pitted against each other. Conditions are such that to revert to the old days would be to the colleges like returning to the #ays of the "Gay Nineties" for the moderns. I think that such decisions should be left up to the coaches and the athletic associations of the individual schools. They are the ones paid to run the thing and they seem to be "doing very nicely, thank you". student plus two per cent of the student activities fee. This money is paid in to the accountant's office and no member of the Executive Cabinet ever handles one cent of this. The Executive Cabinet only authorizes the spending of this money by the accountant through an efficient college requisition system. All expenditures of the Executive Cabinet are made by requisition through the college with the approval of Mr. P. 0. Davis, Executive Secretary. I am including with this letter a list of approved expenditures of the Executive Cabinet which has also been approved by Mr. P. 0. Davis. This is a temporary budget of the expenditures of the Executive Cabinet, but will suffice to give the student body some idea as to where the money that they paid into the Executive Cabinet will go this year. I feel certain that it is of equal interest to the students to know where the money goes that they pay to the college in the form of the student activities fee, which amounts to $17.50 per year. Part of this money goes to the Executive Cabinet as shown in the budget, 2 per cent to be exact. Part goes to the Athletic Department, and the student gets the student ticket books from that sum. Part goes to the Plainsman and part to the Glomerata, and certain other organizations get a certain per cent. All of these organizations are listed under the organizations of Group A and Group B in the Constitution and By-Laws of the Executive Cabinet. Also, according to the By-Laws of the Executive Cabinet, all of these organizations are required to file a financial report with the Executive Cabinet. None of these organizations have ever filed a financial report with the Executive Cabinet since it has been in existence. Should this not be done? Should not the student governing body have a financial report of all student money? Are not the students just as interested in knowing where that money is going? Are not the students as interested in knowing where $17.50 of their money is going as they are in knowing what becomes of $0.50. I should like for all of the organizations which handle the students' money to care-fully read the Constitution and By-Laws of the Executive Cabinet and to take into consideration the fact that they are handling the students' money and that the students should be informed as to how this money is being used.

For the first time in years Birmingham seemed to turn things over to Auburn with a special Auburn Day and the like. In the past Birmingham has obviously favored Alabama with Montgomery Auburn's dependable backer. For this reason the interest shown by Birmingham was particularly noticed and appreciated. No little of this interest was fostered by the wide awake alumni association under the direction of Maurice Bloch. * * * * Football season and a continuous episode of week-ends. Classes a necessity—a break between trips, a rest period. A time of planning for the next Friday afternoon's departure. Back on Sunday with nothing done pnd nothing to look forward to until the next week-end. A habit for the first semester! * * * * But for those who make an Auburn weekend find those days to be a strange part of the calendar. Lazing around on Saturday with full intention of two days of work —nothing done by mid-afternoon—then wander up town and there must be some entertainment for the evening. -Up late Sunday morning and close communication with the paper until it's too late to go to church as had been plans—so another hour of lounging. Dinner and the afternoon show. And with if begins another week. Sometimes on Sunday night some work is done—sometime. So this is college! * * * * A Sunday night train carries one of the most interesting assortments of humanity to be found. That is with the back to school crowd after a football week-end. There a couple of talkative ladies stopping their gossip to eavesdrop on a circle of collegians who pop one or two. The ladies look at each other then stifle a laugh behind a loose knit shawl. But they don't talk any more—they listen for another. Through the train a regular army marching, marching. Never sit down from one end of the trip to the other. The train rocks and off one or two lunge into a lap. . . Who-o-o, and her husband is sitting next her—and he's big too. So off the marchers go again to try another car. The conductor comes by taking tickets. Down goes a passenger's head into a magazine— a cut of an eye, but he says nothing. Ticket taken from the fellow next to him, and then the conductor is off down the train calling "Tickets". Another ride for him on that ticket. He must feel a little bad about that—the crowds are hard to keep up with when there is so much wandering about. But if he can get by with it—get by with it, I suppose. A lady alone and a "tight" boards the train. Give him two minutes and he is sitting next to her. That is just the beginning. All his friends come to talk to him—to her. They didn't have the nerve until he started it. Shortly it's a gathering and there are no strangers among the group. No promising young lady is alone on the Sunday night train back to school. The college crowd gets by with it. Nothing is said. A "butch" on the train. Walks back and forth and always its candy, fruit, and drinks.

Football games and new shoes just do not go together. * * * * One of Auburn's greatest nickel savers is the news stand in front of Homer Wright's drug store. Students and professors alike will walk up and glance at the headlines. One hand will dig down for a coin. During the search the front page is given a complete once over. But then the prospect is concerned with the news inside. Is it worth reading —worth buying a paper for? The coin is released while the paper is spread wide. He reads Popeye, then reaches back for the coin. Again he scans the front page and reads a little more fully the main news story. Ten minutes elapse and he has devoured the front page. The coin jingles back to the bottom of the pocket. He smiles and replaces the paper neatly on the stand. He stuffs out his chest and is off down the street—making money!—Nickel saved!

Last year was the first meeting of the two teams in Auburn's football history and the game tomorrow at Cramton Bowl, Montgomery, promises to be a thrilling affair.

He held a tryout Thursday afternoon to pick the team that will represent Auburn this year. The harriers ran a three mile course, the team being picked from the first seven finishing. i The squad is composed of 15 members: Captain Bill Emery, Powers, Chandler, Stinson, Cothran, Steppe, Lee, Chambers, Oates, Dunning, Barlow, Gresham, Morris, Arruza, and Duncan. Emery, Powers, Chandler, and Stinson are the outstanding members of the squad and these four men are expected to be the backbone of this year's team. The rest will fight it out for the other three places. Three meets have been scheduled for this season thus far. Auburn will meet Georgia Tech's tracksters on Saturday, October 26, here at Auburn. This will be the only home meet of the season. The second meet will be held against Florida in Gainsville on November 16. Auburn has been invited to participate in an invitational meet to be held in Atlanta on Thanksgiving Day, November 28. All schools in the S. E. C. are invited. This affair is known as the Atlanta Journal Southeastern Conference Cross-Coun-try Championship. Last Week's Games Did Little Toward Eliminating Contenders; L. S. U. And Vanderbilt Have Edge On Kentucky, Tulane, Auburn, Tennessee, Georgia, And Miss.; Alabama Upset MOORE JEWELER A N D OPTOMETRIST Diamonds—Watchei—Jewelry—Spectacles—Clocks—Silverware Repairing and Engraving a Specialty Opelika, Ala. the word of Mr. Wynne, who played at Notre Dame with Gipp and -who has seen in action dozens of All-Amer-ican halfbacks since that time, there has never been a runner with the potency of the speedster from the coal fields of Ashland, Kentucky. Eight varsity regulars are back on deck this year, with strong reserves and an army of promising newcomers ready to lend substantial assistance. The Wildcats had a team last year that showed real possibilities. This year it is stronger in all departments. The backfield is more versatile. In addition to Bert Johnson, All-Southern of '34, the blue and white gridders have Abie Ayers and Bob Davis, the latter a sophomore who is America's leading scorer at present. Kentucky has a heavy and fairly mobile line. Janes, the very fine center, is gone but Gene Myers is filling the gap nicely. Nevers and Skaggs are warding off opposition at the tackle posts, while Potter has about cinched one guard position. Jimmie Long The Southeastern Conference situation is still in quite an uproar with any one of the eight teams liable to cop the title. This week's games did but' little towards eliminating any of the contenders. However, as the situation now stands L. S. U. and Vanderbilt seem to have the edge on Kentucky, Tulane, Auburn, Tennessee, Georgia, and Mississippi. L. S. U. did not play a Conference game, but traveled north where they showed plenty of power in taking Manhattan 32-0. The Tigers chief worry at present seems to be the developing of an offensive for the game with Arkansas this weekend. Vanderbilt, who bowed to a superior Temple eleven last week, is searching the squad for a big boy who can toss the pigskin with some accuracy. Such a lad would be of great service against Fordham, which team they meet this weekend . Auburn lost to Tennessee 13-6 in a hard-fought battle. The defeat was due principally to the Tiger's fore-wall, heretofore considered invincible, failing to click. However, the defeat should do much towards giving the Bengals a "do-or-die" attitude in their game with Kentucky this weekend. Alabama's Crimson Tide was rolled back by Mississippi State to the tune of 20-7. The Tide will probably be minus the services of several of its Varsity men when they meet Tennessee this weekend, but the spirit in such that they will most certainly give the Vols a stiff battle. Tulane took Florida 19-7 in a rather thrilling game of which the score reveals nothing. The Green Wave is in for a real battle when they meet Minnesota this weekend. The Gophers are among the leaders in the Big Ten Conference and are a worthy foe for any eleven. Kentucky waded in against one of is captaining the team from one terminal. Joe Rupert's successor at the other flank has been Ellington thus far in the season. In the two opening games Coach Wynne's lads downed Maryville and Xavier. They threw a scare into Ohio State's Buckeyes while losing 19-6, and the best Tech team in several years was really no match for those Wildcats, Kentucky winning 25-6.

Three men will be presented each Friday, until the end of the season. This week we shall feature Captain "Mutt" Morris, Walter Gilbert, and Alternate Captain Haygood Paterson. Millard "Mutt" Morris, Captain of the Tiger eleven this year, consistently plays an outstanding game at end. A senior in the School of Education, he is 24 years old, stands six feet tall, tips the scales at 180 pounds, and has a modest, retiring nature. He attended Blountsville High School | and captained the football team there in his Senior year.

S. U. game last year and running 98 yards for a touchdown. At the close of the season last year he was given Ail-American mention as a reward for his excellent all-around playing. Walter Gilbert, star center of the team, is rated as the best center in the south. This likeable fellow is a Junior in the School of Education, is 20 years of age, weighs 192 pounds, is six feet, two inches tall, and attended Darlington High School. While in high school he proved himself to be an outstanding center, constantly breaking «up opponents' attacks. In his Senior year, while playing against the University School for Boys in Atlanta, he blocked a punt to score a touchdown. His inspired playing against Georgia Tech, together with his all-around playing last year, rated him a position on the All-Southern team and All-American mention. Alternate Captain Haygood Paterson, giant tackle, is one of the most genial men on the campus. Although but 22 years old, he stands 6 feet, 3 inches tall, and weighs 203( pounds— every bit of him solid muscle. A Senior in the School of Education, he is easily recognized because of his unusual size, ready smile, and his blond curly hair. Besides being a hard tackier, he specializes in blocking punts. In the 1934 season he blocked 2 or 3 punts against Florida and Georgia Tech besides sharing high-scoring honors with "Mutt" Morris. At the close of the '34 season he received All-American mention. Next week this column will present Hugh Rodgers, Gecrge Strange, and Joe Bob Mitchell.
