IN SELECTION OF POPULAR
CO-ED FOR "MISS AUBURN"
Annual Election For Selection
Of Campus Beauty Be Held
Week After Thanksgiving
FINALS BE HELD
Three Co-eds Placing Highest
In Primary Election Compete
In Election One Week Later
The third annual campus-wide elec­tion
to select "Miss Auburn" will be
held this year during the week follow­ing
the Thanksgiving holidays,. ac­cording
to an announcement made yes­terday
by Alton Graves, editor of the
Glomerata.
The three co-eds receiving the high­est
number of votes in the primary
election will compete in the finals to
be held the week following. The exact
date for both elections will be an­nounced
in a future issue of this
paper.
According to present plans, the
voting in the primary election will be
done by means of numerous ballot
boxes to be put at various places up­town.
Voting in the final election
will be held in the Student Center. A
committee of Glomerata and Plains­man
staff members will count the
votes, with the results being publish­ed
in the succeeding issues of the
Plainsman.
The qualifications which the contes­tants
should possess are: personality,
beauty and intellectuality. Graves
urges that each of these qualifications
be considered during the voting. The
ballot for the first election will ap­pear
in an issue of the Plainsman.
Each voter will sign the ballot.
Strict honesty is demanded by both
publications in order to make the
election representative. In both elec­tions
each student will be allowed one
vote and will be checked as having
voted.
A picture of the winner of the con­test
will appear in the Plainsman,
in leading state papers and will be
featured on the first page of the
beauty section in the Glomerata.
Plainsman Reporter
Interviews Debaters
In an interview with a Plainsman
reporter, Mr. Royle, of the Cambridge
debate team, expressed himself as be­ing
deeply touched by the hospitality
accorded him by the different colleges
at which he has debated so far.
"Everyone in your community is so
gracious and so quick to gratify our
smallest desire. We particularly no­ticed
your famous 'Southern hospitali­ty'
as we came South. I shall never
forget Auburn. You have been very
kind to both of us."
Mr. Royle expressed himself as lik­ing
American colleges and seemed to
derive great pleasure from quoting
American slang. Mr. Alport, with
some amusement, told of his conversa­tion
in Detroit with a person addicted
to slang. Upon being asked if he had
come "clean" from England, he be­came
very embarrassed until he learn­ed
that "clean" in American slang
meant "all the way".
Second Humor Issue
Be Off Press Early
The second issue of the "Tiger Rag"
is expected to be ready for delivery by
the first of next week. Signs will be
posted in prominent places to indicate
the exact date of issue, and the copies
will be given to subscribers at the
Tiger Drug Store.
All subscribers are asked to obtain
their copies at the soonest possible
convenience as they will not be mailed.
George Quinney announces that any
co-eds desiring to contribute or help
in any way with the "Co-ed Christmas
Number" are to get in touch with
either Mary Haygood or the editor
as soon as possible. The deadline for
this issue is set at November 27, and
any copy received later than this date
will not be used.
'A' Club Will Give
Hop Saturday
Night
To wind up the festivities of Home­coming
Saturday, the "A" Club will
sponsor their third dance for the year,
according to Haygood Paterson, pres­ident
of the club. One of the biggest
dances of the year is planned, and
many out of town girls are expected.
Again the Auburn Knights, under
the direction of Yank Friedman, will
furnish the music for the occasion.
The Knights will add several new hits
to their group of special arrange­ments.
Dancing will begin' at 9
o'clock and continue until 12.
The sponsors of Homecoming, Blue
Key members, will be honored with a
lead out during the evening. The "A"
Club will have one lead out, and other
than these special numbers, there will
be three no-breaks.

Negative Upheld By Auburn In
Arguing Question Relative
To Granting Congress Power
A chowd of 700 students, faculty
members, and townspeople filled Lang­don
Hall to overflowing here Monday
evening to hear the Auburn debating
team-engage that of Cambridge Uni­versity,
England.
The English debaters were John
Royle and C. J. M. Alport who upheld
the affirmative in the discussion that
the judiciary should not have power
to over-ride the decisions of the legis­lative
or executive branches of gov­ernment.
Negative arguments were
presented by the Auburn team com­posed
of B. H. Johnson, Bessemer, and
J. E. DeVaughn, Deatsville.
The debate was a non-decision con­test
but applause by the large au-dienca-
gave evidence of the excellence
of arguments on both sides. It was
the first time a team of foreign de­baters
appeared on the Auburn cam­pus.
Dr. John W. Scott, dean of the
school of science and literature, served
as master of ceremonies.
Final authority by the legislative
branch of government was upheld by
the affirmative as being more ideally
democratic, find a more accurate re­flection
of the voice of the people. It

the legislature to realize greater re-

Alabama Game Survey
Be Aided By College
The college proper and the State
Experiment Station at Auburn will
cooperate with national and State
Home Conservation Bureaus in an ex­periment
to determine how Alabama
farmers can make game management
profitable.
Plans for the research project are
being made by Dr. L. N. Duncan,
President of Auburn, Dean M. J. Fun-chess,
Director of the State Experi­ment
Station, Prof. J. M. Robinson,
entomologist, H. L. Swingle, associate
entomologist, and I. T. Quinn, com­missioner
of game and fisheries. H.
L. Peters of the Bureau of Biological
Survey will be in charge with head­quarters
at Auburn.
At a meeting held in Auburn last
Thursday, Mr. I. T. Bode, of the Bu­reau
of Biological Survey, pointed out
that for several years farmers have
been branching out into the business
of producing or encouraging wild
game on their farms.
The purpose of the new cooperative
game and wild life management re­search
project is to give the needed
technical and scientific help to farmers
for developing this industry.
By Eugene Lee
Flashing a driving offensive Satur­day
behind Auburn's junior halfback,
Joe Bob Mitchell, the Tigers ran up
the largest score in the last 27 years
of their colorful annual encounter
with Georgia Tech. The Tigers com­pletely
outclassed the Engineers in
Atlanta for a 33-7 victory in the 39th
renewal of one of the South's premier
grid classics.
Job Bob Mitchell came through in
great style after replacing the injured
Hitchcock in the early stages of the
game. Mitchell Was a threat the en­tire
time he was on the field. He
began reeling off long gains as soon
as he entered the game. He electrified
the big crowd with his punts, one
traveling nearly 70 yard, and return­ed
Tech's punts with equal abandon.
He rounded out his triple threat per­formance
by passing. Auburn's third
touchdown was the result of a toss
from Mitchell to Fenton. On the first
play of the fourth quarter he made
a beautiful run of 41 yards to score
Auburn's fourth touchdown.
Auburn truly reached a peak in of­fensive
attack. Fenton, O'Rourke,
Kilgore, Tipper, and Stewart all uni­ted
to put on a dazzling show of run­ning
behind the work of the Tiger's
great line. Hitchcock's injury kept
him from sharing in piling up the lar­gest
score of the year. Fenton made
a brilliant broken field run of 63
yards to continue the long distance
gallops that he started in the Duke
game. Kilgore showed a great burst
of speed and a deceptive run to score

LOUD PLAUDITS
GIVEN PLAYERS
AT APPEARANCE
One Of Largest Audiences In
History Witness Showing Of
"Death Takes A Holiday"
FINE TALENT SHOWN
Play Opens Current Season For
Auburn Players; Many Of
Cast Show Unusual Ability
One of the largest audiences ever
to attend an entertainment given by
the Auburn Players here was well
rewarded last night by the production
of "Death Takes a Holiday". This
play, the first three-act performance
of the year, marked the opening of
the current season. Both excellent di­rection
and fine talent were shown
throughout the entire play.
Each player was outstanding in his
role, whether major or minor, and
individual praise could be determined
only by considering the importance of
the role in the presentation.
Eleanor Boyd, Arthur Stewart, and
Mary Elizabeth Watson, cast as young
Italians, and Ella Frances South as
an Italian princess, are all to be com­mended
both for their acting and their
accents. It was the support of this
kind by those in somewhat less impor­tant
roles that made the performance
such a success.
Willard Manry excelled his brilliant
performance in "The Monkey's Paw"
with his excellent portrayal of Death
in last night's performance.
The most difficult part of all, Baron
Casarea, an old man, was taken by
Morris Schneider and was performed
perfectly. Especially good were his
accents in each of the various moods
he acted.
Others who contributed to make the
play a great success were Mary Car-mack
and Arthur Elsberry, servants;
Horace Perry and Jane Billingsley,
Italians; Helen Christie and David
Roberts, young English people; and
Robert Botsford, and officer.
Engineering Societies
To Hold Joint Meeting
At a combined meeting of the of­ficers
of the three engineering socie­ties,
A. I. E. E., A. S. C. E., and A.
S. M. E., the question of having com­bined
meetings of the three societies
Sunday afternoons in the future was
discussed. It was decided to bring the
chapters together for a joint meeting
once every month.
It is planned to have the first meet­ing
in Langdon Hall the night of the
first Monday after the Thanksgiving
holidays. A committee was selected
to contact outstanding engineers in
the states of Alabama and Georgia for
the purpose of obtaining one that
would be in a position to give a talk
suited to all three phases of engineer­ing.
The recreation hall will be used
after the talk for the holding of a
smoker. Two or three amateur acts
will be arranged for the smoker.
Realizing the handicaps placed up­on
an outstanding engineer in having
to speak to only a small group of stu­dents
at the chapter meetings, this
plan of having joint meetings was de­cided
upon. By bringing together the
entire engineering student body, the
greater attendance that can be achiev­ed
will serve as a greater inducement
to outstanding engineers to come to
Auburn for talks.
This consolidation is only in line
with developments over the nation.
Several national societies have been
founded with the purpose of consoli­dation
of the engineering profession.
The idea is to gain a sounder founda­tion
for the profession by the gain in
power and prestige.
An engineering club will be formed
sometime in the future. This club
will be the consolidation of the' three
chapters. A name will be given the j
organization and officers will be elect­ed.
The chapters will continue to car­ry
out their meetings during the
month. The engineering club will
have charge of the monthly meetings,
carrying out of engineering projects
on the campus, and Engineering Day.
Music Subjects Here
Prove To Be Popular
College credit is given in all applied
music subjects this year. The Piano
Department, under the direction of
Mr. Coggin, is attracting college and
town students to the music school.
With the increased demand for mu­sic
more courses will be offered. Free
practice pianoes are furnished the stu­dents
in Langdon Hall and the Studio.
Since coming to Auburn Mr. Coggin
has appeared on programs in Auburn,
Fort Benning and Columbus. He
plans a Spring recital.
While working on his Master's de­gree
under Prof. Oldberg at North
western, Mr. Coggin had a private
studio in Evanston. He is interested
in concert work and made several pub­lic
appearances.
Mr. Coggin was elected to the honor
music fraternity, Phi Kappa Lambda,
while an undergraduate at the college
of the Pacific in Stockton, California.

Noted Harpists Will Be Heard In
Music Concert Thursday Evening
Lucy Lewis and Gertrude Peterson,
harpists, will appear Thursday even­ing
at Langdon Hall in a duo-harp
recital as the last of the series of con­certs
sponsored by the Auburn Glee
Club and the Alabama Music League.
Ticket sales will begin at 7:30 and
the concert opens at 8:15 o'clock.
These talented musicians, through
their technique and mastery of the
harp, the most ancient of string ins­truments,
convince their audiences
that the harp is too seldom heard in
concert. The harp is a most difficult
instrument to play and the renditions
of these two women have received
praise and admiration wherever they
have appeared in concert.
The program includes compositions
from 16th century down to the modern
music of the present-day's famous ex­ponent
of the harp, Carlos Salzedo,
who, having heard them interpret his
compositions, said: "I had the pleasure
of hearing my compositions played by
Lucy Lewis and Gertrude Peterson,
single and in duo form, and was de­lighted
with their intelligent under­standing
and effective renditions of
my work. I wish that every harpist
would interpret my compositions as
comprehensively as those two artists
do."
The concert Thursday evening closes
the series presented by the Alabama
Music League, under the managership
of Miss Christine McCann and spon­sored
by the Auburn Glee Club. Large
and appreciative audiences have at­tended
other concerts by the harpists
on their present tour of Alabama.
They played to a large house Tues­day
evening in Montgomery.
AUBURN RATS WIN
FROM TECH FROSH
IN HARD CONTEST
Fumble By Tech Gives Auburn
Opportunity To Make Lone
Touchdown; Kelley Is Star
Injured Auburn Boy
Reported Improving
Henry P. Dumas, irregular mechan­ical
engineering sophomore, is im­proving
since the blood transfusion in
the Tech Hospital.
Dumas and an unidentified Auburn
freshman were hitch-hiking to the
Tech game Saturday, and were near
Atlanta when the accident happened.
Dumas was driving the car at the re­quest
of the owner. He side swiped
a truck, completely wrecking the new
Pontiac. The other occupants were
uninjured.
More than 100 Auburn and Tech
students answered the appeal made
during the game to donate blood. Mr.
Gottesman, Tech sophomore, was se­lected
for the transfusion.
Dumas' home is in Thomasville, Ala­bama.
He is a transfer from Georgia
Tech.
NOTICE !
O. D. K. meeting, Thursday at 7:00
P. M. in Samford 201.
Morgan, Auburn's star frosh center,
caught Butler's fumble at the center
of the line and ran it over the goal
line to. score the lone touchdown in
Auburn's rout of the strong Georgia
Tech freshman team on Drake Field
Monday afternoon. Butler met a stone
wall when he hit the center of the line
and the ball hurtled over to fall into
Morgan's arms and the big center ran
30 yards to score. Cook place kicked
the extra point to enable the Tiger
frosh to win 7-0 before the largest
crowd to ever witness a freshman foot­ball
game on Drake Field.
Kelley, who prepped at Jefferson
high, was the offensive star of the
afternoon. This hard running back
duplicated Joe Bob Mitchell's perform­ance
against the Engineer varsity on
Grant Field. This triple threat was
a' thorn in the sides of the Yellow
Jacket frosh all afternoon.
Coach Jordan sent a stream of
frosh stars into the game. Gerikitis
proved to be aggressive and a hard
runner. A bad hand kept him from
showing to better advantage. Mims
showed up good on running interfer­ence
and hitting the line. Fontaine is
a tough fullback and made several
good gains at the line. Sitz carried
on where Fontaine left off when he
entered later in the game. Of the
halfbacks who entered later Walker,
Weaver, and Riddle were just as im­pressive
as the ones who preceeded
them.
Morgan reminded one of the great
Gilbert. He played a roving center
and was consistently breaking in to
throw the Tech backs for losses or in­tercepting
passes. Burford and How­ell
made several tackles and drove the
Tech backs in where Wolf, Crowder,
Combes, Nichols, and Thorpe brought
them down.
The game was hard fought by pro­bably
two of the best freshman teams
in the South, and as a result both
sides received numerous penalties. Au­burn's
frosh had piled up 5 first
downs to Tech's none at the half.
Tech's offense functioned to better ad­vantage
during the last half and they

DEFENSE SUBJECT
USED BY STARNES
IN ADDRESS HERE
Delivers Stirring Armistice Ad­dress
Yesterday Before Au­burn
Students, Townspeople
Convocation Be Held
For Co-Eds Thursday
A convocation for all women stu­dents
will be held at 11 o'clock Thurs­day
morning, November 14, in Lang­don
Hall for the purpose of electing
a freshman representative and town
representative to the Women's Stu­dent
Government. All women students
are requested to be present.
"TJjere is no place in America for
Fascism, Nazism, Communism, or any
sort of 'ism' except Americanism", de­clared
Congressman Joe Starnes, of
Guntersville, in delivering a stirring
Armistice Day address before Auburn
students and Legionnaires here Tues­day
morning.
"No government is absolutely per­fect",
added Mr. Starnes, "but the
most nearly perfect form is the demo­cracy
which we have in America to­day."
He said that if American
youth would consecrate itself to the
maintaining of their government and
our institutions that the destiny of
America would be secure.
The congressman stressed the im­portance
of adequate defence as the
only means to the preservation of
peace. "I shall always advocate a
well-equipped standing army, a navy
second to none in the world, and ade­quate
manpower in our reserves and
national guard", he declared.
A torrential downpour of rain just
after 10:00 o'clock prevented the pa­rade
by Legionnaires, and the review
by Auburn's R. O. T. C. unit on Bul-lard
Field. The address was given in
Langdon Hall where the speaker was
introduced by Dr. L. N. Duncan.
Following the address, at which
Prof. J. C. McKinnon of the local John
H. Wills Post of the American Legion
presided, civic clubs of Auburn and
Legionnaires attended a barbecue
luncheon at Alumni Gymnasium. In
charge of arrangements were Ander­son
Blackburn, Prof. John W. Roe,
Prof. A. D. Burke, George Moxham,
and others.
In the next war Mr. Starnes said
that he would favor a universal draft
of not only manpower but of both
capital, labor, and industry. "I will
not vote to send my son to war unless
all American resources shall be con­scripted",
he said. Universal draft,
he added, would take the profits out
of war.
In advocating adequate prepared­ness,
Mr. Starnes said that "treaties
are not sufficient to preserve world
peace." Adequate defence, he be­lieves,
is the only solution. World
peace and the preservation of Ameri­can
institutions- is the desire of every
truly patriotic, citizen today, he de­clared.
Mr. Starnes commended the recent
national legislation aimed at social
security and the stabilization of the
American home and our economic and
industrial life. "There has been in
America a veritable moral and spirit­ual
rennaissance", he declared.

343 Votes Cast By 1 o'Clock
This Afternoon In Spirited
Elections Of Freshman Class
McGEHEE, MUNGER LEAD
Large Majority Of Votes Cast
By All Students In Favor Of
Changes In The Constitution
By 1 o'clock this afternoon 343 votes
had been cast in the election for fresh­man
class officers at the Student Cen­ter,
marking the election as the most
spirited one to be held on the campus
for many years.
The complete returns up to 1 o'clock
show Billy McGehee and Jack Munger
out in fron,t in the race for the two
freshman representatives to the Exe­cutive
Cabinet. McGehee had garner­ed
221 votes, Munger trailed with 142.
The other two candidates for the post
were running neck and neck. Frank
Perdue had received 122 votes against
120 for Van Shapard.
Curty Farley, with 168 votes, was
far ahead of the two other candidates
for president of the freshman class.
Cecil Pitman was runner-up with 134
votes, and David Wittel was training
at third place with 38.
Wallace Owens had a slight lead
over Travis McNulty for vice-presi­dent
of the class. By 1 o'clock Owens
had received 123 votes and McNulty
117. Murry Richardson was well into
third place with 102 counts .
The closest vote up until one o'clock
was for the secretary's place. There
was a difference of only two votes with
L. E. Foster having 168 and Grover
Eubanks 166.
Thomas Lennon was leading for the
office of treasurer by a slight majori­ty.
He had received 120 votes. In
second place came George Knight with
105, followed by Perry Giles who had
received 104.
Lucile Bethune was unopposed for
historian's place.
The count of votes today at 1 o'­clock
showed the constitution changes
favored by a large majority. The
plan most favored is the second which
provides for a distribution of the
membership of the cabinet through­out
the four classes. If the final re­sults
do not show a decided change
from this preliminary count the cons­titution
will provide for the follow­ing:
"Membership of the Executive Cab­inet
shall consist of 11 members to be
elected from the four classes of the
Alabama Polytechnic Institute as fol­lows:
Four members of the senior
class, three members of the junior
class, two members of the sophomore
class, one member from the freshman
class and one co-ed by the women stu­dents.
Each class shall elect by popu­lar
vote the number of members desig­nated
above, the election to be under
the supervision of the Executive Cabi­net."
The method of electing officers of
the cabinet is also favored by a large
majority. This provides for the pop­ular
election of all officers; the pres­ident
by the senior class, the vice-president
by the junior class, secre­tary
by the sophomore class and the
treasurer by the senior class.
W.A.A. Banquet Will
Be Staged On Friday
The members of the Women's Ath­letic
Association will have a banquet
Friday night a* the Tiger Cafe. Miss
Zoe Dobbs will be the main speaker of
the evening. Also, Miss Fannie Stoll-enwerck
will be on the program.
This organization has only been on
the campus a few years, but already
has quite an active group. They have
been constantly setting up new stan­dards
and customs for their organiza­tion,
and hope that the banquet may
be added to their list of annual af­fairs.

Welcome Alumni
Judging by the active part Blue Key has
taken this year in the formation of plans
for Homecoming Day, one can't help but
feel that the affair will be one of the out­standing
events of the year.
Auburn had advanced considerably in the
past few years. Homecoming this year will
afford an excellent opportunity for the alum­ni
to renew their connections with the school
and to see for themselves the advancement
that has been made. Then on the other
hand they will be able to see what still
needs to be done, and that is the important
consideration at present.
Auburn extends a cordial welcome to all
alumni and wish them a pleasant week-end
in Auburn.
Football And Pontics
College football is no longer confined to
the colleges. From all appearances it has
now branched out into state politics, and a
governor rises majestically to the situation
and says he won't stand for any rough treat­ment
to his state's team by the hands of
another.
It happened just prior to the Minnesota-
Iowa game last Saturday. Both teams being
tops in the conference, a rough game was
expected. Neither had lost a game, and
Saturday's contest was to decide the issue
either one way or the other. Then Governor
Herring of Iowa appeared on the scene with
the statement: "If the officials stand for
any rough tactics like Minnesota used last
year, I am sure the crowd won't."
We believed that Gov. Herring far out­stepped
his bounds when he uttered this
statement. The duty of any governor lies
with matters of state and not with what
happens on the grid iron. In the first place
it is none of his business and in the second
place what little a governor might know
about football would hardly qualify him to
speak. We can excuse the Governor on the
count that he was probably so anxious to
see his state take the game that he spoke
before thinking.
Each football game is ably managed by
the required number of officials, who decide
the issues of the game themselves in all
fairness to both teams. When a governor
considers it his duty to take a hand in the
matter, he is making a fool of himself and
sooner or later will realize the fact. In this
instance Gov. Herring charged Minnesota
with roughing Oze Simmons, fleet halfback
for Iowa, in a game last year. Simmons
made the whole affair look ridiculous when
he declared that he was responsible for his
own injuries last year, that "If I had been
playing hard at all, I wouldn't have been
hurt.' '
To bring the matter of state politics and
football closer to home and as a fitting end
to this editorial, we quote the following from
an editorial appearing in the Crimsoyv-
White, student weekly at Alabama, in an­swer
to a Plainsman editorial of some time
ago concerning the question of a football
game between the University and Auburn:
"The Crimson-WKite has continually dis­favored
such a game in the past, due to the
fact that it might prove to be a powerful
implement in the hands of state political
interests and a cause for grievances, hard
feelings and discontent. We know that the
respective student bodies would favor the.
game and that they would conduct them­selves
much better than those who don't
attend the schools, who would be the cause
of most of the enmity which most people
would look for after such an encounter."
Mixed Uniforms
There are only two college R. O. T. C.
units in the nation which for the past fifteen
years have been given the highest or ex­cellent
rating by the War Department as
a result of the annual inspections held each
year in the spring. Auburn is one of these
colleges, and it is needless to say that we
are justly proud of the record.
Year after year the local military office
has become more liberal in its dealing with
cadets. Gone for good are the days when
the uniform had to be worn at all classes
as well as to church on Sundays. As was
mentioned in a recent letter to the editor,
we once were required to drill for one hour
on Saturday mornings. Imagine how bother­some
that would be today with the present
habit in vogue of half the college leaving
town beginning Friday afternoon. As a
final gesture last year it was decreed that
the wearing of uniforms to war classes
would be optional with the student.
In return for these concessions the mili­tary
office has asked but one thing, and that
is that the cadets observe the proper regu­lations
as to the wearing of the uniform.
No threats were made. It being hoped that
each student would consider the question to
the final realization that he owed that much
to the cadet unit here in return for benefits
granted him. Of course, if flagrant viola­tions
continue to occur, then definite action
will have to be taken. •
The local military department is anxious
that Auburn's excellent rating continue in
view of the fact that it has been maintained
for such a period of time and that Auburn
and one other are the only colleges sharing
this record. We believe the students feel
the same way. It is just another one of
those old traditions attached to Auburn that
should be continued.
A cavity in a tooth is a small thing in the
beginning and very apt to be overlooked. If
forgotten or neglected entirely, it is a waste
of words to explain the result. As an ana­logy
the improper wearing of the uniform
may seem like a trivial matter. But if al­lowed
to continue unabated, it soon spreads
to the entire unit, and again it is needless
to explain the result.
Abolish Campus Politics?
This year there is a strong tendency in
the major schools throughout the country
to abolish class offices entirely or else do
away with campus politics. Though we are
not acquainted with the particulars, Indiana
is the only college in which the problem has
been suitably worked out and which has
overcome to a great degree the evils of the
election system. All senior class officers
and committee members are selected on the
basis of a point system rather than by the
vote of the student body.
From a compilation made by the Indiana
Daily Student we learn that Minnesota,
Wisconsin, Northwestern, Ohio State, and
many other colleges through their respec­tive
student publications are agitating for
a change. In a recent election at Minne­sota
only 17 per cent of the student body
voted. No doubt the students realized that
it was a waste of their time to vote as the
outcome had been decided long before the
election. Similar situations exist at many
other schools, and from all appearances the
end is not far off. Students at the larger
schools are beginning to realize that cam­pus
elections mean nothing.
Auburn, peaceful as she may appear on
the surface, is not by any means free of
political combines and set-ups. In fact, the
situation here smells as bad or worse than
at the larger colleges. Those on the "in­side"
here could, if they dared, reveal some
very interesting facts relative to past elec­tions
at Auburn. Cases in which the cam­pus-
wide election wis nothing but a blind,
the men for the different offices long before
having been decided upon. It may be well
for students at Auburn to give the matter
a little more than a casual thought.
Collegiate Review
Proprietors of the College Inn, New Lon­don,
Conn., are suing Connecticut College
for having placed the restaurant "out of
bounds" for students.
Standardized education, with little allow­ance
made for the individual, is contributing
to criminal delinquency, says Lehigh's Dean
Dr. Max McConn.
A survey of the 34 men who have cap-'
tained University of Wisconsin football
teams reveals most of them are outstanding
successes.

From Saint Mary's comes the story of the
Washington university professor who was
loafing outside his class room during a

his students might be tempted to cheat, he
said that he had fooled them. He turned
the grades in the day before! Do you sup­pose
that such as this ever happens here?

The Psychology department of Duke uni­versity
has discovered, through a recent sur­vey,

A new radio-victrola for 7,000 old Victor
records was the bargain made with the
Victor company by the arts dean of Detroit
university.
However, only 4,000 records were deliver­ed
and unless the students dig up 3,000
more within two weeks, the creditors will
call to repossess their part of the bargain.
The Victrola is being used by the music
and language departments—What could we
swap for a new building or so?

At the University of North Carolina the
mystic Students Protective Association has
again burst forth in printed protest of the

In place of the old theme paper posters

bore this inscription:
"Half a meal, half a buck—

You are out of luck!"

At the University of Chicago when Fresh­man

date and was well satisfied, and the story
goes that he rather liked it when she made
the remark that he looked dumb.

his uncle, Herman E. Karimo, in the ana­tomy
laboratory of the Minnesota Medical
School.
The youth had been unable to locate his
uncle at the beginning of the fall term and
had appealed to the police for aid. Detec­tives
assigned to the case found Herman
Karimo had changed addresses under an
assumed name and had committed suicide
September 4th. The body lay unclaimed in
the county morgue until September 17th,

After a big blase in a womans dormitory
at Ohio State, the firemen found a cigarette
at the spot where the five began. Univer­sity

Editor, The Plainsman,
Dear Sir:
The announcements, asking the support
of the students in abolishing the wearing
of mixed and improper uniforms, have been
taken seriously by the majority of the R. O.
T. C. cadets; however, a few still insist on
ignoring these requests either through for-getfulness
or pure negligence. Any normal
person can see the object of the requests
and can see that it is to his advantage to
comply with them .
If the few who are not complying would
think it over, I believe that they would at
least not be detrimental to the efforts of
others even if they do not wish to be help­ful.
The War Office is being as considerate
as possible and is giving the unit a chance
to get in line with its own free will. Why
not take advantage of this chance?
The Southern R. O. T. C. has been severe­ly
criticized by army officials as to posture
and neatness. This hits a sore spot in most
of the cadets who aim to make a good "im­pression."
The appearance of the uniform
has a good deal to do with this, as anyone
who wears it sloppily or improperly cannot
appear soldierly even if he has the necessary
physique.
So, tuck in your shirt and at least make
an effort to abide by the ruling of the
military department.
Yours for cooperation,
A Senior.

Dear Sir:
I have known the author of Trivia for
two years, but I have just learned that he
is a connoisseur of "torch singers". Why
did he keep his talents a secret for so long
a time? If the Auburn Cavaliers had only
known that he was so well informed on the
subject, they would have consulted him be­fore
making their selection of a female
vocalist.
I would like to ask a question that I
hope will not be too embarrassing. How
long would it take the prominent authority
on "torch singers" to learn the lyrics of
250 songs? Oh yes, will the man please
come by the Inn and teach the young lady
the proper technique when using the micro­phone;
I am sure he knows all about it.
The Little Jack Little gag was very puny
and proved how "small" some aspiring
journalists can be.

Editor, The Plainsman
Dear Sir:
Most people, who were there, will agree
that convocation on last Monday morning
was a failure. The cabinet either did not
expect any discussion from the audience or
they misjudged the intelligence of college
men and women—it was probably the latter.
The number of those in the cabinet does
need to be reduced, but it will not be done
by dodging issues as was done at the con­vocation.
The answer to Bill Emrey's, "How
will it be more democratic?" was not even
on the same subject. The 'side-stepping' of
the question was too obvious. The cabinet
did well in not trying to answer "Red's",
"How will it throw out politics?"
There might be an answer to the 'demo­cratic'
question—it has not been given yet.
There can be none given to "Red's" state­ment.
Politics will stay in college elections
and fraternities.
If the cabinet had tactfully avoided the
statements "it will be more democratic" and
"It will do away with politics" something
might have been accomplished. No one de­nies
that the cabinet at its present size is
an ineffective body. Whether the size is the
cause for its ineffectiveness I do not know,
but I am willing to take the word of those
in the cabinet for that.
Why could not the cabinet have admitted
its ineffectiveness and capitalizing on this
point carried the amendments. Politics can
not nor should not be taken out of the elec­tions,
and it would have been well for the
cabinet if it had avoided the statement—nor
can the election be more democratic under
the new amendments.

Dear Sir:
Monday morning at the convocation, os­tensibly
held for the purpose of introducing
to the freshman class the candidates in their
coming election, a statement was made to
the effect that so far this class has been
characteristic in its criticism, but that it
had broken the pattern in having one of its
members express—of all things—satisfac­tion
by means of a letter in the Plainsman.
Incoherent and unorganized as this epistle
was, the writer must still be commended for
his frankness in expressing his feelings.
I believe it appropriate at this time for
someone to do something which, as far
as I know, is almost unprecedented here—
to express satisfaction with something the
Executive Cabinet has done. The Cabinet
should be thanked for the part it played in
bringing the Cambridge debaters to Au­burn.
Without the financial aid given by
the Cabinet when it appropriated funds for
different campus activities the presence of
this outstanding team in Auburn would
have been impossible. I think no one who
heard the Cambridge and Auburn debaters
last night will deny that it was an example
of the general good the Cabinet can do by
wise and judicious appropriations. The
wider programs of other campus organiza­tions,
made possible by financial aid from
the Cabinet, will probably add emphasis to
this statement.
In closing, let me make it clear that I,
too, am not trying to secure a pass in
freshman English, nor a fraternity bid, nor
a pat on the back from Dr. Duncan. I al­ready
have all three. More than one pat,
too.
Yours,
Adam Pendragon,
Freshman.

IN ITS LATEST POLL, the Literary Di­gest
is evidently attempting to show how
the president now stands in the eyes of
the American public. Or maybe the object
is to find how the public feels toward the
New Deal.
The question asked is in effect the follow­ing:
"Are you in accord with all the New Deal
policies to date?" The answer is to be an
unqualified "Yes" or "No". The results of
such a poll are bound to be erroneous as far
as determining the standing of the presi­dent
now is concerned. It is hard to believe.
that the President himself could answer this
question "Yes" without qualifying his an­swer
to a certain extent.
The results of the poll are going to give
a very poor picture of the feelings of the
public toward the administration for two
reasons.
First, even the most ardent supporters of
Roosevelt and his New Deal policies realize
that the president has done some things not
entirely in accord with his way of thinking.
A "No" oh the part of such citizens would
give no indication at all as to his attitude
toward the president and the administration.
Second, the answers to the Digest poll are
doubtless to come from the opposition of
the New Deal rather than the supporters.
If the friends of the New Deal are not in a
position to answer an unqualified "Yes" to
the question they will let it ride and not
answer at all. But it is likely that the op­position
will waste no time in sending in
an answer.

Maybe the time ig coming when Auburn
students will be able to witness a conference

On Ducks—One of the strangest and most
annoying maladies of the modern college
student is this thing known as the "duck"
disease. Obviously no one is immune. At
a fraternity house it is dangerous to light a
cigaret. If you do you can see three or four
brothers struggling against an attack of the
above. One sits in his corner and watches
the smoker blow away his money. He de­bates
with himself as to whether or not he
should ask for a cigaret. He holds out and
continues to watch his brother enjoy long
drafts from the smoking stick.
Conversation drifts. The cigaret fast
loses its identity as a cigaret and heads to­ward
the tempting "short". All is quiet for
a moment. Suddenly caution is flung to the
winds and from all corners of the room
comes a chorus of "Gimme". The smoker
offers vcigarets; desperately he tries to per­suade
his friends to ditch the duck habit
and smoke a whole one. No use, there is
the mistaken idea of unselfishness and the
diseased insists that the duck will do.
Oh, will the afflicted never learn that the
crowning joy of a smoke is the flick away
of a duck or the grinding beneath the foot
of the remnants. It's a serious malady. Pity
those afflicted.

From a reliable source came the report
of a conversation between a couple of men
at the Tech game. The eavesdropper says
they must be the kind of fellows who stick
to their one favorite team and forget that
others are on the' list. The first speaker
stated that Auburn had not lost any games
this year. The second corrected him by
saying that Auburn had gone down once
this year at the hands of Alabama by a
score of 10 to 0. Just about fifteen or
twenty years behind the times. To an Ala-bamian
that is a laugh.

County. In order that a suitable pro­gram
might be arranged Dr. Zebulon
Judd has mailed letters to all Lee
County School principals, teachers,
service clubs, and ministers, offering
speakers and material for a program.
A special committee on arrange­ments
from the faculty of the School
of Education. will cooperate with
schools, churches, and service clubs
in this matter.
The Alabama Education Associa­tion,
in its effort to promote obser­vance
of American Education Week,
has recently prepared the "Alabama
Handbook", comprising materials for
use in making, programs for Educa­tion
Week.
Copies of the handbook may be had
either from the office of the State
Department of Education at Mont­gomery,
or from the office of the
School of Education at Auburn.
The following persons on the facul­ty
here are listed in the handbook as
available speakers for Education
Week: Dr. L. N. Duncan, Dr. Zebulon

Mrs. Toomer Speaker
At Monthly Meeting
Mrs. S. L. Toomer spoke before the
Woman's Club, South Perry, on "Lib­erty
or What Have You", on Tuesday,
November 4, in Montgomery.
At each monthly meeting of the
club a leading speaker is chosen to
have charge of the program. Since
Mrs. Toomer is one of the leaders in
Women's Club work and the patriotic
movements in the state, she was chos­en
to present the address of the
month.
In her talk Mrs. Toomer outlined
liberty in three different aspects; re­ligious,
civil, and domestic. She also
stressed Patrick Henry's famous state­ment
"Give me liberty or give me
death", and "Liberty, as it used to be
when a man's home was his capitol".
Mrs. B. D. Lazarus, also of Auburn,
was present at the luncheon and made
a short talk. .Although Mrs. Lazarus
is 94 she still retains, an active inter­est
in the work of Women's Clubs.
The meeting was in the form of a
luncheon. The "T" form table was
adorned with silver baskets of chry­santhemums
and candlebra holding
yellow tapers.

Miss Davenport has recently been

yarncraft classes, which have been
formed by a firm there. This work is
proving very successful, and the an­cient
art of knitting is definitely on
the upward trend.
"This season, to be smart, you must
be yarn-minded, and this means you
must own a host of lovely hand-knitted
or crocheted creations. • Those who
have again taken to this art of knit­ting
find it to be one of the most
relaxing of pastimes", the lecturer
said.

The Auburn Community Welfare
Fund Drive continues with some ad­ditional
major contributions.
Other than those already reported
in previous news items, the following
have been generous in their contribu­tions
to the amounts set opposite their
names: Emmett Sizemore, $50; Dr.
L, N. Duncan, $50; Dean Zebulon
Judd, $50; A. Meadows, $26; Dr. R.
S. Sugg, $26; and G. H. Wright,
$25.50.
The following have contributed $25
each: W. L. Long, W. D. Gibson, C.
A. Jones, Dr. Paul Irvine, Dr. J. J.
Wilmore, Dr. C. S. Yarbrough, P. O.
Davis, and Miss Zoe Dnbbs. In addi­tion
one contributor of $25 requested
that his name be withheld.
Although much progress has been
made in the short time the drive has
been underway, a very appreciable
amount must still be secured to attain
the goal of $2,000 for the year's pro­gram.
To facilitate the work of col­lectors,
whose task is in no wise pleas­ant,
and to assure avoidance of future
appeals later in the year, it is hoped
that individuals, when approached,
will contribute as generously as their
means will permit. It is hoped to
complete the drive in the next week
or ten days, and other contributions
received will be reported in subsequent
news items.
I'M WILD ABOUT FIGURES
No! I don't mean arithmetic. I mean figures that walk
and talk—like yourself.
"A Man's a Man for AH o' That." But to me he's some­thing
more. When I see a man I
see a pair of shoulders, a neck, a
chest, a waist—a seat, a pair of
legs and arms.

Auburn Freshmen
Form Y.M.C.A.
Group Here
"Auburn has more possibilities than
any other college in the south for
a leading Young Men's Christian As­sociation"
declared Jim Hardwick,
state Y. M. C. A. worker, before a
group of 35 freshmen last Wednesday
night.
As a result of the freshman convo­cation
held Wednesday morning, 35
freshmen, who are interested in the
Y. M. C. A. work on the campus, met
with Mr. Hardwick in order to form
a freshman group. Mr. Hardwick
stated that this freshman group
meant the rejuvenation of the Y. M.
C. A. Work at Auburn, especially for
future years.
Plans were immediately formulated
by the freshman group to have regular
meetings every Tuesday night at
seven o'clock, to elect officers, and to
work out a definite program of work
in collaboration with the Friendship
Council. The need of such an organi­zation
as expressed by some of those
present is to get a closer contact of
freshmen, and to help in getting men
to take an active part in the churches
here.
Assisting Mr. Hardwick in his work
at Auburn are Professor O. T. Ivey,
and Mr. C. M. Gray, Auburn alumnus
and state Y. M. C. A. secretary. Be­sides
talking to the freshmen and to
the "Y" Friendship Council, Mr.
Hardwick and Mr. Gray led discus­sions
on spiritual questions at the dor­mitories
and at frat houses. Every­where
that these men talked, students
showed an appreciative attitude for
the deeper things of life and readily
entered into a discussion. It has been
estimated that there are at least 50
former "Hi Y" presidents in Auburn
who have taken no interest in Y. M.
C. A. work since being in school here.

in former years, the Registrar's office
hurrying the work in response to re­quests
of students and parents and
also to enhance the value of mid-se­mester
tests by presenting the results
earlier.
Approximately 18,000 subject re­ports
were handled, recorded and re­ported
to the Registrar's office. As
the professors and instructors report­ed
to the Registrar's office, their re­ports

AUBURN HIGH SCHOOL ELEVEN
WINS OVER REELT0WN FRIDAY
Local High Team Far Superior In Trouncing Opponents By
30 to 0 Score; Three Touchdowns Scored In First Quarter
By Wright And John Ham; Turner And Smyer Also Score
The Auburn High School's football
team gave a good example of the old
adage that brains are superior to
brawn by defeating Reeltown High
31-0 on the local field Friday. Coach
W. B. Hitchcock, Auburn High's new
mentor, was well pleased with their
initial performance under his direc­tion.
Coach Hitchcock, a brother of Jim­my
and Billy, took charge of the squad
November 4, when the former coach,
Gordon Fowler, resigned in order to
accept a position with the Federal
government in Jefferson and Walker
counties.
The small and bantam weight, but
well trained Auburn team ran easily
over a much heavier, but inexperienced
squad from Reeltown; scoring three
P. C. Brook Undergoes
Serious Operation
P. C. Brook, assistant state su­pervisor
of vocational agriculture,
underwent a serious operation yester­day
at St. Margaret's Hospital, in
Montgomery.
This morning Dr. George Blue, who
performed the operation, sent word
that the patient was doing as well
as could be expected, but it would be
several days before danger zone was
passed.
times in the first quarter. Duncan
Wright, left-half-back, scored twice
in the first period, and John Ham,
full-back, scored once. Wright made
the longest run of the game by sprint­ing
35 yards to a touchdown when he
intercepted a Reeltown pass. Ham
scored on a freak; he kicked off and
recovered the ball behind Reeltown's
goal which was good for six points.
After this fast and stunning play­ing
in the first quarter, Reeltown
never quite recovered from the shock.
Later in the game, Allen Turner, sub
for Ham, scored and also Harold
Smyer. Smyer showed the potential
ability of being a brainy quarterback
in his three more years to play. In
the line, Robert Howard, and Dennis
Newton deserve credit for their out­standing
work.
Next Friday, the locals meet a
strong Tuskegee High squad for the
last game of the season. The game
will be played on the field behind the
girls' gym.

MEDICAL COLLEGE STANDARDS
BEEN LOWERED SAYS JOURNAL
Standards Of Medical Schools Once Among Highest Have Been
Lowered Because Of Undermanned Faculties, Over-Crowd­ed
Laboratories And Acceptance Of Below-Par Students
Chicago, Illinois—ACP—The stan­dards
of the medical schools, once
among the highest, have been lowered
in recent years, asserted the Journal
of the American Medical Association
in this year's review of educational
conditions in the United States and
Canada.
Undermanned faculties, over-crowd­ed
laboratories and the acceptance of
students of below-par scholastic rec­ords
have resulted in an impairment
of efficiency, according to the publica­tion.
Responsibility for the situation is
largely attributed to financial strin­gency
during the depression, which has
compelled some schools to rely more
largely on income from student fees.
The Journal says that larger numbers
of students have been accepted for the
money they bring in, pointing out that
in most cases the teaching staff has
not been correspondingly strengthened
or the physical plant commensurately
enlarged.
Mountain Ranges Are
Wearing Away, Survey
Worcester, Mass.—ACP—Poets and
others who talk about "the everlast­ing
hills" may not be strictly accurate,
according to Dr. Wallace Atwood,
president of Clark University here,
who says that recent geological re­search
indicates that three Rocky
Mountain ranges have formed and
worn away during the last 30 million
years.
"Three distinct ranges of moun­tains,"
he said, "have' come into exis­tence
and passed away since the for­mations
which we know as the Rocky
Mountains began."
No exact determination of the
height of the ancient mountains can
be made, Dr. Atwood said, but they
were probably higher than the present
peaks. ,
Atom Smasher Nearing

Rochester, N. Y.—ACP—Construc­tion

the direction of Dr. Leo A. Du-
Bridge of the department of physics,
as is the huge atom "gun" being made
at California Institute of Technology.
The Rochester cyclotron will con­sume

one touchdown. His quick thrusts
through the line at tackle were always
good for sizeable gains.
Although the offensive stole the
show, the defense was just as impres­sive
as in the previous games. Wil­liams,
Paterson, and Gantt opened big
holes on the left side of the line for
the fast Tiger backs'. Paterson play­ed
an all-American tackle. This big
blond was like a pillar of rock and
added to the offensive by converting
three consecutive placements for extra
points. Gilbert diagnosed the Engi­neer
plays to perfection. Auburn's
candidate for all-American center
roamed at will and no matter if the
play was out wide or through the line
he was there on his feet to bring down
the runner. He broke up passes and
one time intercepted one of Sims'
passes to run in to Tech's 45-yard
line to end the third quarter.
Gantt spilled many* of the Tech
runners and was very impressive at
blocking. Auburn's right side of the
line had Eubanks, Tech's star left
tackle to contend with, but Sivell, sub­bing
for the injured McCroskey, Rod-gers,
and Eaves came through in
great style.
Auburn had to play an alert game.
Tech played as daring a game as pos­sible.
Their laterals were baffling.
Sometimes is was difficult for the
human eye to follow the progress of
the ball. After knoting up the score
in the second quarter from a pass to
Sims to Jordan things looked tough,
and they continued to offer plenty of
opposition for the remainder of the
game.

sponsibility in the enactments. To

limits the will of the people, they
said.
Pointing to American government
as an example of successful fuction-ing
of a judiciary in its capacity to
nulify or uphold legislative enact­ments,
the Auburn debaters commend­ed
the Supreme Court as a vital pro­tector
of the Constitution. Legisla­tors,
they said, were not competent
to judge the constitutionality of their
enactments. The Supreme Court was
characterized as a necessary umpire
of judges to coordinate the various
branches of government and to serve
as an arbiter between the government
and the people. Harmony between
states and the insurance of people's
rights is preserved by the Supreme
Court, maintained the Auburn debat­ers.

Tipper made 3 yards after a Tech
penalty for offsides. O'Rourke car­ried
the ball to Tech's 2-yard line on
a wide sweep to the left after a gain
of 4 yards at center, and then bucked
through center for a touchdown.
Kilgore took the situation in hand
to score Auburn's next touchdown.
Hitchcock received Sims' punt on his
43. Kilgore on a fake from Hitch­cock
ran the ball to Tech's 41-yard
line. Tech was penalized 5 yards.
Kilgore made it first down on Tech's
25-yard line. Hitchcock made 2 yards
at right tackle. Hitchcock passed to
Eaves on the 14. Kilgore made a
powerful run around right end to
score. Eaves, made a beautiful block
on this play.

"A civilization which removes na­tural

Dr. Cutten declared.
"The greatest sinners are probably

gained 8 yards on an end-around
which placed the ball on Tech's 1-yard
line, Mitchell ma'de three stabs at the
line but failed to score. On the fourth
down he dropped back and passed out
to the right to Fenton who was wide
open for the pass.
Gilbert intercepted Scrappy Ed­wards'
pass and ran it up to Tech's
45-yard line. Kilgore smashed into
center for 4 yards and the third
quarter ended. Mitchell on the first
play in the fourth quarter went out
wide to his right and ran 41 yards
to score.
Stewart was instrumental in scor­ing
the last touchdown. He intercept­ed
Edwards' pass and ran to Tech's
10 where he was stopped ,by Beard,
a 39 yard gain. On the next play he
passed to Kilgore over the goal for
a touchdown.
(Continued from page 1)
accumulated 4, but Auburn held the
advantage at the end of the game
by 10 to 4.
Runs by Kelley and Sitz and a 15
yard penalty on Tech carried the ball
from Tech's 47-yard' line to their 5-
yard line. This gave the Tiger rats
their first chance to score. Kelley
dropped back and tossed one to Cook
over the goal line, but it was incom­plete
and Tech gained possession on
their 20.
In the first of the third quarter
Weaver punted down to Tech's 28, and
Burford downed the ball. Gerakitis
broke through to spill Butler for a
one yard loss. Butler came charging
into the center of the line and the ball
fell from his hands over the line.
Morgan caught it out of the air and
ran 30 yards to score. Cook added
the extra point from placement.
Tech made their only serious threat
to score late in the fourth quarter.
On fourth down with the ball on their
31-yard line Gilmer punted to Kelley,
but play was called back and Auburn
was penalized 15 yards for holding.
On fourth down again Reed's pass was
allowed on Auburn's 44 due te inter­ference
from Feriera. Reed passed
again to B. Anderson which was good
on Auburn's 10. Wolf broke through
and threw Reed for a 3 yard loss a"t
the line. Reed tried another pass,
but Howell intercepted it and ran to
Tech's 25-yard line.

Prof. John A. C. Callan Will Be In Charge Says Thad Holt,
WPA Administrator For Alabama; Project Will Involve
219 Different Engineers With Appropriation Of $172,800
With Professor John A. C. Callan
as general director, the state-wide pro­ject
of the U. S. Coast and Geodetic
Survey will be continued for the en­suing
year, according to word receiv­ed
here from Thad Holt, Montgomery,
Alabama WPA administrator. The
new program will begin next week.
The project will involve the em­ployment
of 219 civil engineers, sur­veyors,
and draftsmen with an appro­priation
of $172,800. The program
will include continued development of
the level circuit and triangulation
system networks throughout the State,
said Professor Callan.
Henry Steadman, of Tuscaloosa, has
been named as chief engineer for the
project and will expedite the accurate
mapping of important areas in the
State.
As was formerly the. case, general
headquarters for the project will be
