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.

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

AUBURN ENGAGES WYNNE'S

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.

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-

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

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.

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.

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.

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.

blondes five years ago. Today that is passed,
and so, to follow the new trend we get seven
new brunettes as stars in the Metro-Gold-wyn-

The "lucky seven" to be chosen and given
are the seven hand picked beauties from the
seventy-five dancing girls of the extrava­ganza

These girls that were chosen will be given

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.
Hardie Deer,
President of the Executive Cabinet.

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!

Eight Varsity Regulars Are Back On Deck With Strong Re­serves
To Lend Substantial Assistance; Teams Met For First
Time Last Year With Auburn Losing Hard Fought Game
With Kentucky established as a dis­tinct
dark horse ttireat in the S. E. C,
Auburn will enter the game tomorrow
afternoon determined to avenge the
9-0 defeat handed them by the Wildcat
eleven in 1934. 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.
Coach Chet Wynne begins his sec­ond
year at Lexington with at least
one firm conviction: that he has, in
Bert Johnson, the greatest running
halfback that ever graced an Ameri­can
gridiron. As a passer, punter
and defensive player, Johnson is not
much above the average; but, take

Coach Hutsell's cross-country track
squad has been practicing daily for
about a month now in preparation for
their first meet on October 26. 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.

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

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.

The Wildcats are stronger this year in
all departments than they have been
in some time and should give the Au­burn

Mutt Morris, Haygood Paterson, And Walter Gilbert Will Be
Featured This Week In Regular Sketches To Be Presented
Each Successive Week By Jack Todd; Morris Is Captain
By Jack Todd
This column will conduct a series
of thumbnail sketphes of prominent
Auburn varsity players. 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.
While playing with Auburn he has

figured in many outstanding plays,
the most spectacular of which was
his recovery of a fumble in the L. 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.

Walter Gilbert is a sure starter at
center. He ranks with the Tiger's
greatest of all time and is a candi­date
for All-American honors. He is
a demon in backing up the line and a
genius in diagnosing enemy plays.

posts will be Hitchcock and Tip­per.

... but, after all is said and
done, it's the cigarette it­self
that counts
...the question is,
does it suit you ?
jL^saWy when it comes to a cigarette that
will suit you... you want to think whether
it's mild, you want to think about the taste
That Chesterfields are milder and taste better is no
accident. . .
The farmer who grows the tobacco, the ware­houseman
who sells it at auction to the highest
bidder, every man who knows about leaf tobacco
will tell you that it takes mild, ripe tobaccos to
make a good cigarette.
In making Chesterfields we use mild ripe home­grown
and Turkish tobaccos.
.. for mildness
.. for better taste
