Forty Freshmen Report To
Meagher On Monday For
First Spring Training Work
Debaters To Face Spring Hill
Tomorrow Evening At 7:30
VARSITY BEGINS TODAY
Prospects For Outstanding
Team Are Fair; Coaching
Staff Same As Last Season
By PETE SNYDER
Auburn's No. 1 sport—football—
began its 1937 season Monday with
the first Spring practice session for
more than forty Freshman candidates
for berths on the varsity squad. This
0
afternoon when thirty-five upperclass
gridmen sink their cleats in the turf
on Drake Field for the first time since
the completion of 1936's schedule, a
new and better eleven should be in
the early process of formation.
Embarking on the first season of
his second three-year contract with A.
P. I., Head Coach Jack Meagher will
be assisted by trainer Wilbur Hut-sell,
backfield coach Jimmy Hitchcock,
and coach Buddy McCollum, line and
tackle coach Dell Morgan, and guard
coach Boots Chambless. "The main
purpose of all spring work-outs,"
states Coach Meagher, "is really to or­ganize
the squad and give special at­tention
to those who are in need of it.
Extensive blackboard drills and out­door
practice in blocking, kicking, run­ning,
and tackling will feature the re­mainder
of the time during the ses­sion
that will last six or seven weeks."
Outlook Not Dull
Though more than a dozen first
rank luminaries will be lost by gradu­ation
this coming May, the outlook for
next season is not as dull as might be
expected. Returning men are (ends) :
McKissick, Burford, and Hamm;
(tackles): Wolff, Holman, Russell,
and Nichols; (guards): Whitten, Gil-
Ian, Sivell, and Burns; (centers):
Morgan, Antley, and Bagby; (quar­terback):
Smith; (halfbacks): Hitch­cock,
Fenton, O'Gwynne, Ellis, and
Riddle; (fullbacks): Sitz, Heath,
Gerakitis, and Heath.
Under Frosh Grid Coach Ralph Jor-
. dan's supervision there developed last
season some most prqmising freshman
players. Those who reported Monday
were (backs): Shearer, Wendling,
Harrison; Ham, Kenmore, Cotton,
Dean, Brown, Sobut, Happer, Haynes-worth,
Nail, Ellis, Morgan, and Wend­ling;
(ends): Whatley, Waters,
Reeves, Sanford, Belin, Gibson, and
Pearson; (tackles): Sharman, Mac-
Eachern, Jeffries, and Wemyess;
(guards) : Chandler, Dowling, Pries-ter,
Crowder, and Buckner, and (cen­ters)
: Jeffords, Bolger, Brassell, and
Guy.
David Roberts And E. Godbold
Will Compose Auburn Team;
3-Day Trip Follows Meet
By J. H. WHEELER
The Auburn debating team opens
its intercollegiate season Friday night
opposing Spring Hill College of Mo­bile
in Student Hall at 7:30 P. M.
There will be no admission fee.
David Roberts and Edwin Godbold,
representing Auburn, will take the af­firmative
in the decision debate on the
subject "Resolved that Congress
should be empowered to set maximum
hours and minimum wages for indust­ry".
Debate Coach E. D. Hess announces
that arrangements for this year's in­tercollegiate
competition are almost
finished. Barring further changes,
the schedule is as follows:
Following the Spring Hill match,
the debating team leaves Auburn on
a three-day trip, meeting on February
17, 18, and 19, respectively, Jones Law
School in Montgomery, Montevallo at
Montevallo, and Birmingham-Southern
in Birmingham.
Will Debate Alabama
February 26, debaters representing
the Wesleyan Foundation of the Uni­versity
of Alabama come to Auburn
for a non-decision debate. No other
University organization has ever sche­duled
a debate here, and although the
visiting team is not sponsored by the
University itself, Prof. Hess feels con­fident
that the match with the Wes­leyan
debaters will be a valuable step
toward restoring harmonious relations
between Alabama and Auburn.
March 8, the team begins a six-day
tour through South Alabama, Missis
sippi, Louisiana, and Tennessee, meet­ing
Spring Hill in Mobile, Tulane in
New Orleans, Louisiana State in
Baton Rouge, Millsaps in Memphis,
M. S. C. W. in Columbus, Mississippi,
and the Wesleyan Foundation team at
the University.
March 24, the debaters invade
Georgia for a series of three matches,
competing against Mercer at Macon,
Georgia Tech at Atlanta, and the
Berry School at Rome.
March 31, debaters from Washing­ton
and Jefferson University of Wash­ington,
Pennsylvania, come here. This
will be one o'fthe first debates be­tween
an Auburn team and represent­atives
of a northern university.
Except for the two students debat­ing
against Spring Hill Friday night,
those who will participate in this
year's matches have not been definite­ly
selected.
Athletic Program To
Be Directed By W. A. A.
The Women Athletic Association has
made definite plans to take over the
co-eds' athletic program for the cur­rent
semester to insure a full term of
sports.
Beginning next Monday afternoon
basketball practice is to be held each
school day between 5 and 6 o'clock.
All co-eds have been requested to ap­pear
at each practice session as teams
will be formed by each sorority and
honor group to compete for a tourna­ment
to be held near the season's end.
Two squads will be formed by the
town girls.
Woodrow Kilgore, Mary Marshal
Fletcher, and.Doris White will be the
instructors in the athletic program.
Doug Wallace Takes
Position With Post
Douglas Wallace, former editor of
the Auburn Plainsman and senior in
the School of Science and Literature
has accepted a position on the staff of
the Birmingham Post as a cub re­porter,
to be effective immediately.
Mr. Wallace as editor of the Plains­man
during the year 1935-36 was ac­tive
in all student activities during
his four years at Auburn. He was a
member of O. D. K., Spades, and the
Tau Kappa Alpha debating society.
Polo Work Begins As
Thirty Report Today
Made possible by a recent ap­propriation
from the Athletic De­partment,
the first practice of the
season for the polo team was held
at three this afternoon on the polo
field.
Although twelve men who have
had former experience on Au­burn's
polo squad returned this
year, only one, Tom Bacon, is a
letter-man. A host of new and
fairly inexperienced men also
turned out for the first practice.
Capt. W. H. Klepinger, coach of
the team, stated that he believed
that from this number—approxi­mately
thirty—he would find
quite a bit of worthy material.
Prospects for the year are dull
and rather indefinite as yet but
future practices may yet brighten
the outlook.
The prospects for a road trip
by the team are definitely dim.
Unless another appropriation is
forthcoming from the Athletic
Department or the Executive
Cabinet, the squad will have to be
contented -with games played on
the home field; however, hope is
still held by the squad that such
appropriation will be made and
that the trip will be possibe.

By GEORGE KNIGHT •
The Auburn Glee Club left Monday
on its annual tour through eentral
Alabama. Monday afternoon the club
presented a program over station WS
FA in Montgomery and that night ap­peared
in concert at Huntingdon Col­lege
under the auspices of the glee
club of that institution.
Following the concert, the members
of the Auburn club were guests of the
Auburn alumni at a dance at the Gay-
Teague Hotel. From Montgomery the
Glee Club will travel to Marion, Tus­caloosa,
Bessemer, Birmingham, and
Montevallo where concerts are to be
given on successive days. This trip
will cover a period of one week and
the club will return to Auburn next
Sunday.
Home Concert Big Succen
Last Friday night, January 29, the
Auburn Glee Club gave its first home
concert of the year. Director Lawr­ence
Barnett presented the group in
a fine program before a capacity
crowd in Langdon Hall. No admission
was charged, but all those wishing to
contribute a small sum placed their
donations in boxes for the purpose at
the entrances. The entire sum of
these contributions, mounting over 120
dollars, has been sent to aid the flood-er
area of Illinois. __•
George Hairston, president of the
organization has made arrangements
to send wires to The Plainsman after
each concert given so a complete ac­count
of the tour may appear in the
paper at the earliest date.
Ladies Riding Will
Begin On Thursday
The first session of the ladies riding
class will be held tomorrow afternoon
from four to five and, as there are
accommodations for thirty-six ladies
in the equitation course, four more
applicants are desired to fill the sec­tion.
Those interested are asked to
register in the military office.
The course this semester will consist
of twenty one-hour classes to be held
twice a week. The class will be di­vided
into two sections, one of which
will include jumping as an essential
part of the instruction.
Auburn High Defeats
Good water Five, 25-18
The Auburn High School cagers won
over Goodwater last Friday night by
a score of 25 to 18. The scoring was
lead for Auburn by Charles Ham,
member of the All-District team last
year. ,
The game was close throughout with
Auburn leading only two points at the
half. The Tigers, however, showed
more spirit during the second half to
run up a seven-point lead at the games
end.
The local high has shown much
improvement since the beginning of
the season and has to date won 7
games and lost only one.
After playing Dadeville here to­night,
the locals wijl go on a three day
road trip to Eufaula and Abbeville.

Airport Friday Or Saturday
Chemistry Dean
PROCEDURE BE PUBLISHED
Public Will Be Allowed To
V i ew Planes On Morning Of j
Arrival; To Stay One Day!
A group of fifty Army Air Co^ps j
planes being ,flown by the graduating
class of the advanced training school
of Kelly Field will arrive at the Au-burfi-
Opelika airport either Friday or
Saturday morning. The flight is serv­ing
the double purpose of giving the
students a check cross-country flight
and at the same time giving those in­terested
in becoming flying cadets a
chance to observe Army flying at first
hand.
Preparations for the reception of
the flight are being handled by Capt.
R. E. M. DesLets and Lt. B. M. Cor­nell.
Due to the uncertainty of the
planes arrival definite plans can not
be announced but if the planes do ar­rive
on Friday morning a full schedule
of the procedure will be posted on the
R. O. T. C. bulletin board in Samford
Hall and the Aero Bulletin board in
Ramsay no later than Thursday af­ternoon.
Will Include 50 Plane*
The fifty planes will include groups
in each of the major branches of the
air corps, pursuit, attack, observation,
and bombardment. The corps is anxi­ous
to have the public make the most
of this opportunity to see the opera­tions
of this branch of the national de­fense
and will be especially interested
in giving information to those inter­ested
in joining the Air Corps.
Regardless of the day of arrival of
the planes the following schedule will
undoubtedly be followed: Arrival of
the planes will be at 9:30 A. M. and
will probably be followed by a forma­tion
flight over town. After the land­ings
the planes will be put on the
line by a group of studentsSaf ter which
the general public will be allowed to
look over the equipment. From 11 o'­clock
until noon and from 1 P. M. un­til
2 P. M. the visiting officers will be
in Room 109 Ramsay Hall to assist
anyone interested in a flying cadetship
in filling out his application blank.
At 2:15 P. M. assembly for the flying
cadets will be held in front of Ramsay
Hall and they will be transported back
to the field. At 3 P. M. the planes will
take off for Maxwell Field where they
will spend the night.
Lt. Cornell has,asked that all the
Aero students who have signed up to
assist in handling the planes meet with
him in room 109 Ramsay Hall at 4 P.
M. Thursday afternoon at which time
the details of the handling will be
completed. Jor all others interested

Civil War Lathe, Now On Campus,
Has Long And Interesting History
By SON THOMAS
A fitting symbol to Auburn as a
mechanical college is a large metal
lathe weighing over ten tons which
was recently moved from Birmingham
to our campus. The old machine, re
plete with history dating back from
an undeterminable period before the
Civil War, was presented to the col­lege
as a memorial by the Tennessee
Coal and Iron Works.
According to information supplied
by Dean Wilmore and Professor Dan
T. Jones, the machine was first used
at a foundry at Selma, Alabama. With
the outbreak of the Civil War it was
used by the Selma arsenal to bore can­non
for the Confederate Army. With
the invasion of the South by the Fed­eral
troops, the Confederate soldiers,
fearing that the lathe would be con­fiscated
and used by the enemy, load­ed
it on ox carts and started for Co­lumbus,
Georgia.. Due to the vast
weight of the machine, the soldiers
were fearful of safely ferrying it
across the Alabama River; according­ly,
they' took an out of the way route
via Birmingham in order to reach their
destination. At Irondale, Alabama,
they were intercepted by enemy raid­ers
and, in panic, they buried the
huge war implement there. After1 the
excitement of the raid had subsided,
the soldiers returned to Irondale, dug
up the lathe and this time moved it
safely to Columbus. It was used there
for the duration of the war in making
cannons.
Returned To Irondale
At the close of the Civil War, the
machine was purchased by a Mr. Lynn
of the Lynn Iron Works whose shops,
by a strange coincidence, were located
in Irondale. Thus the bulky mass of
metal, which had once visited the little
village as a mighty war machine, re­turned
once more as an instrument of
peaceful industry.
When the Tennessee Coal and Iron
Company took over the Lynn Iron
Works, the lathe was moved to their
shops in Birmingham and was used
for making locomotive wheels. It was
used there until a few months ago and
was reputed to be doing accurate work
until the time it was dismantled. It
was recently presented to the Ala­bama
Polytechnic Institute by this

The Auburn Plainsmen split a
brace of games with Louisiana State
on Monday and Tues'day nights by
the respective scores of 37-24 and. 54-
34 in two thrilling contests attended
by a crowd which filled Alumni Gym­nasium
to capacity.
Tonight will see the varsity play
host to Birmingham-Southern while
the freshmen will meet Columbus. In­dustrial
High School in a preliminary
game. Both contests should prove to
be interesting and well worth seeing.
The freshmen have progressed rapidly
since the opening of the season and
have several outstanding basketeers.
Both L. S. U. contests were hard-fought
with numerous fouls being com­mitted
by both teams. Rex McKissick
was ejected from the Monday night
tilt on personals and both Captain
Joel Eaves and Lefty Curlee were re­moved
from Tuesday night for the
same reason.
Last night saw the Bayou Tigers
take the lead early in the first half
and hold it until the final whistle.
Captain Arnold Bryan stellar L. S.
U. forward was well taken care of by
Captain Joel Eaves ringing up but
two foul shots until Eaves was re­moved
on personal fouls with ten min­utes
left to play in the second half.
From then on the shooting ace went
berserk to tally 13 points, the best ef­forts
of the second string guards prov­ing
fruitless.
First S. E. C. Defeat
Previous to this, the Plainsmen, had
won all three of their Southeastern
Conference games and seemed headed
for an undefeated season. However,
their win over the Louisiana aggrega­tion
on Monday night gained them a
great deal of prestige and revealed
them to be a top-notch outfit.
Malvern Morgan once more stood
out for Coach Jordan's five as he an­nexed
a total of 12 points. He was
closely followed by Red Childers with
9 points. Childers has been rounding
into a fine pivot man since under the
able tutoring of Coach Jordan and
should reach new heights in the next
two years.

Tops Semester Record Of Last
Year By 2 5 0 ; Only 12 Short
Of First Semester Number
Through late yesterday afternoon
figures from the Registrar's office re­vealed
that 2231 students had enrolled
for the current term setting an all-time
high for mid-term registration.
This number falls only 12 below the
1936 first semester figure of 2243;
whereas, in past years the first term
registration usually was a great deal
higher than the second.
According to Charles W. Edwards,
associate registrar, it is expected that
the total registration • for the year
should reach 2600 or slightly higher.
The total enrollment figure for last
year was 2338, the highest up until
that time. Thus it is predicted that
the current year's figure will top any
in Auburn's history.
250 Above Last Year's Mark
Glancing over figures in the Regis­trar's
office it is found that the en­rollment
for this semester is already
250 above the 1978 figure reached at
the corresponding time last year. The
highest second term number before
last year was in 1931-32 session when
1775 students were registered. This
marks the first time the registration
number has ever broken the 2000-mark
in the middle of the year.
Comparative enrollment figures for
the second semesters of the last six
years are as follows: 1930-31, 1675";
1931-32, 1775; 1932-33, 1481; 1933-34,
1464; 1934-35, 1658; 1935-36, 1974;
and the present figure 2231 for the
1936-37 session.
NOTICE !
A certain amount of money was
found loose by student marker at
laundry and may be had by owner
upon satisfactory identification.
Frosh Play Columbus
Here Tonight At 6:15
The Auburn Freshmen will meet the
strong Columbus Industrial basketball
team from Columbus tonight at 6:15
in a preliminary game to start the
night's program which will see the
varsity line up against the Panthers
from Birmingham-Southern in a re­turn
engagement. The Frosh will face
what is likely to be the strongest club
on the schedule tonight when the fast
breaking and accurate shooting quin­tet
from Georgia invades the Plains
for the first time this year. Lewis,
star guard for the Georgians, has a
high average for the year, and is ex­pected
to give the Frosh plenty of
trouble.
The locals turned in two victories
this week, defeating the Woodland ag­gregation
31 to 21 in a scrappy game
that saw the Rats make a spirited and
successful come back to win. Beaure-guard
fell before the shooting of
Baker, Jordan, and Sobut last night
after the varsity game.
Baker, who is tall and fast, seems
to be the answer to Auburn's search
for an all-round center. Possessing a
great deal of natural ability and a
perfect eye for the basket, Baker has
been a mainstay on the Rat team this,
season.
Burton's Bookstore

? A Real Asset
Judging by the number of persons
present at the Glee Club concert and
the ovation given the performance we
feel safe in saying that no other type
of educational entertainment is en­joyed
here as much as music. A crowd
estimated at 500 was present last
Friday at the first concert of the
year, and never has such a large
number turned out to a previous per­formance.
This should be encouraging to
those in charge of the Glee Club; it
is proof of the appreciation and ap­proval
of the work done. It should
encourage college officials to build
for an extended musical program in
the college during the next several
years. And such a concert proves
that 30 students and a director start­ing
with next to nothing have built
an organization that is a credit to the
school it represents.
This week the club is touring the
state and if people judge the type of
work done here by the Glee Club
work, the school should get a big
boost.
What Davidson Says
The Crimson-White in its usual
friendly manner places the coming of
Auburn's Glee Club to the Alabama
campus at the head of all news stories
in last week's edition. Not only that
but Frank Davidson, editor, says the
following on the editorial page:
Next Thursday the Auburn Glee Club
will make its initial appearance on the
University campus. "Uncle Tom" and
the boys in the Alabama Glee Club are
going to do every thing they possibly
can to return the courtesies shown them
when they appeared at Auburn last se­mester.
Relations between the two schools
have been much improved this year
over the past and we urge the student
body to put forth an honest and sincere
effort to show the Auburn visitors the
best hospitality that the University can
offer. We owe it to ourselves, in addi­tion
to our guests, to be adequate hosts.
The spirit of Alabama is something
that goes beyond mere cheering on the
football field. It must prompt us to act
in other ways when such occasions as
this arise. Our friends at Auburn have
shown a gracious attitude toward the
University this year and we would be
forced to admit a weakness in our stu­dent
personnel if we could not dp as
well as they. •
We must give those boys a welcome
that they will forever appreciate.
The Plainsman wishes to thank
The Crimson-White for the warm
publicity given our Glee Club. We
are proud of it and know it will per­form
up to expectations.
American "Extras"
A compilation of figures by the In­ternational
Industrial Conference
Board yielded some astounding reali­ties
in regard to the living standards
of various nations. As accurately as
could be determined this survey com­pares
our standards with those of the
other leading powers of the world.
It was discovered that the people
of the United States get their necessi­ties
much more cheaply than other
peoples; consequently, a larger per­cent
of their income may be spent on
luxuries or "extras". The United
States family spends 30 per cent more
on "extras" than the average Euro­pean
family.
A series of figures on consumption
of commodities proves our superiori­ty
in this respect. In automobile con­sumption,
we have 5 persons to every
car, France 22, England 23, Italy 109,
and Poland 1,284. Radio figures
show that we have 5 persons per
radio, Denmark 6, United Kingdom 7,
Russia 190, Bulgaria 354. The num­ber
of people per telephone in the U.
S. is 8, in Denmark 10, United King­dom
20, France 33, Russia 200. Sev­eral
other commodities were consider­ed
in making this tabulation and simi­lar
conditions were found prevalent.
Though the papers and street con­versations
are filled with hard luck
stories of how bad off our people are,
we still stand head and shoulders
above the people of other lands. Our
standards can not be approached by
any nation.
The Name, Please?
Did you know that the Joneses are
not the most numerical family in this
country? The Advertiser taking fig­ures
from Columbia State says that
this reputed tribe ranks a poor fifth
in so far as numbers go.
The Smiths are out in front with
294,000 members; Johnsons come
next with 277,000; Browns count
164,000; Williamses are fourth with
156,000; and the Joneses come in for
fifth-place honors with 147,000.
Now let's turn to the Auburn Stu­dent
Directory and see how we tally
with these figures:
Smiths, who rank first in the na­tion,
also rank first on this campus
with 32; but the Joneses, ranking
fifth in the country, are given a close
second here with 28; and the second-ranking
Johnsons do not fare so well
in Auburn as they are placed fifth
with 16. In other words, here and in
the national census the Johnsons and
Joneses trade their positions. The
Browns, placed third in U. S., also re­ceive
this in the check-up here with
24; the Williamses, ranked fourth in
the country, are given the same in Au­burn
with 19.
It may be seen that the name is
still in the mode on the campus and,
although surpassed by the Smiths,
ranks far better than Columbia Stated
gives it credit for doing in the nation.
Then Stay At Home
The sportsmanship displayed by a
number of students during the basket­ball
game Monday night was probably
the worst seen here in several years.
It was surprising to a great many
students and townspeople who did not
believe such a low form of behavior
would ever crop up here. It must
have been embarrassing to the re­feree,
who was the receiver of all this
booing and hissing, and to the Au­burn
coaching staff. The disconcert­ing
conduct also must have caused the
game to be rougher and more bitterly
fought than it otherwise would have
been.
It is unbelievable that a student
would have gone to the referee, face-to-
face, and told him how unfair his
decisions were. But yet a good num­ber,
hid in the voice of their neigh­bors,
cried their disapproval. It
seems that this should be classified as
cowardliness. That is exactly what it
is.
It makes little difference who the
referee was or what his qualifications
were. He WAS refereeing the game
and his decisions were final. The boo­ing
only made a difficult task near
impossible.
It is ridiculous to believe that the
official, who was doing his best, was
intentionally calling unjust decisions;
it is not impossible that he made a
few mistakes. But all the mistakes
he could have made during any game
does not condone the behavior shown
Monday. . .
College students are mature enough
to realize these facts we have brought
out and if they feel that their feelings
will get the best of their behavior
they should stay at home.

THIS TIME: SIT-DOWN STRIKES ARE
BECOMING VOGUE, LIQUOR ITEM,
FLOODS, AND HITLER
Another semester of diligent toil gone,
another Junior Prom, with all its revelry,
gone, and with the heralding in of a new
period, your faithful scribe brings you a
new column of newsy items. Rather, it is
the same old column masquerading under a
new title which, I hope, will carry a fuller
import of significance as to its contents
than was the case of the former. So with­out
further quibbling, efforts shall be put
to task. There's floods of news.
* * * *
SHADES OF PESSIMISM might de­scribe
the general aspect of several situa­tions
that confront us — Strikes . . . . Leg­islative
Quandries . . . . Flood Devastations
. . . . World Peace Problems. . .
* * * *
Strikes, sit-down and riotious strikes,
seem to be fast becoming the vogue among
our populace. Department store clerks, ele­vator
operators, West Coast seamen, coal
and steel workers, electrical workers, and
automobile workers seem to be doing very
well in promoting chronic paralysis in in­dustry
. . . . The automobile industry alone
has lost, one-half billion due to the present
strike . . . . The auto workers complain
that the work has been speeded up too much
without regards for their health and stand­ards
of living . . . . G. M. C. says that only
a small percentage of the strikers really
sympathize with the course of their own ac­tions
. . . .An injunction to oust the sitters
resulted in violence . . . . Unless Sec. Perk-irfs
is able to ease the situation, it looks as
though Pres. Roosevelt will have to fix the
trouble.
* * * *
In Montgomery, the legislators have
found another little item to play with be­fore
they legalize liquor for us . . . When
representatives of Alabama and Florida
liquor interest begin offering, providing,
and promising huge sums to bribe legis­lators
and voters the situations becomes
more and more clarified.
* * * *
Flood begins to fall in the vicinity of
Pittsburg and Cincinnati while it continues
to rise at Cairo and points south . . . . Cold
weather helping . . . . 100 million required
to repair Louisville . . . . Memphis is hous­ing
center of refugees . . . . Paducah most
desolate spot . . . . Anxiety shifted to Mis­sissippi
Valley . . . . Radio has rendered
most invaluable aid in the flood relief pro­gram
. . . . Red Cross asking for ten mil­lion
now.
* * * *
After four years of dictatorship, Hitler
pulled his last (he called it his last) big sur­prise,
renouncing Germany's blame* for the
World War and the reparation payments,
demanding the return of her former col­onies
and other points that were designed to
put them on an equal basis with other world
powers . . . France seems closer with Soviet
Russia . . . England waits her hand . . . .
Italy pleased . . . . Germany rich in arma­ments—
low standard of living—strong na­tional
spirit may sustain a weak stomach.

Plainsman Forum—Voice of the Students
A DecUive Victory Is Marred By-
A Moral Lois, Says Writer
Editor, The Auburn Plainsman
Dear Sir:
It is indeed a shame to mar such a de­cisive
victory on the basketball court by a
moral loss in the balcony. The Auburn
basketeers turned in an excellent perform­ance
Monday night, but the spectators^ fell
short.
If you recall, our student body was found
the victim of no little amount of assitude at
the LSU football game in Birmingham when
their students stifled our boos with laudits.
Doing away with the ungentlemanly "bal­cony"
conduct is not only good psychology;
it is an absolute necessity if we are to main­tain
the "ole Auburn spirit". Boos and
hisses have no place in Auburn cheers.
The referee and the Louisiana men were
exposed to extensive booing and unfriendly
remarks. It must have been very impressive
to outsiders to listen to our spectators show
their selfishness by applauding our players
and razzing the visiting team.
We must stop this element and assume a
different attitude as our good performances
on the field of play are being counterbal­anced
by our poor performances in the
cheering section. Sincerely, L. F.
Anothar Student Disapproves Of Conduct
During Monday Game
Editor, The Auburn Plainsman
Dear Sir:
The action of the student body at the
Aiiburn-L. S. U. game Monday night af­fords
me an excellent opportunity to make
an appeal to the students through this
column.
Since sports were first made a part of the
college activity, Auburn men have been not­ed
for their sportsmanship. We should
strive to uphold the excellent reputation left
by those before us instead of going out of
our way to tear it down.
To get right to the point, the sportsman­ship
displayed at the game Monday night
was ROTTEN. The officiating was good,
as good as I have seen in my four years at
Auburn, yet every foul that was called on
Auburn was booed by a crowd of Auburn
students who should have been out calling
hogs instead of preventing civilized spec­tators
from enjoying a good hard-fought
basketball game.
Booing the referee's decisions did not seem
to afford these RUBES adequate means of
displaying their poor spirit; therefore, they
took further steps, they cat-called, whistled,
and even called to the L. S. U. players when
they were taking foul shots. This kind of
"rottenism" can not only hurt Auburn's re­putation,
but might easily lose a close game
as the referee often awards the player
shooting the foul another shot.
Therefore, for the good of the team and
the school I urge the students to use their
vocal cords in doing some constructive
cheering instead of destructive booing.

It Costs Only One Dollar To Print Sears,
Roebuck, Yet A Text Costs 4 Times This
Editor, The Auburn Plainsman
Dear Sir: . .
Another semester begins and with it the
usual fretting and fuming about the high
price of text books. Buying books always
constitutes a big item in any Auburn stu­dent's
budget. The average amount is
around $15 to $30, which is no small sum.
The Literary Digest recently stated that
it costs only one dollar to print a Sears,
Roebuck catalog. If such a tremendous
volume with its dozens and dozens of
pictures, is published for only one dollar,
why do Auburn students have to pay $4.25
for a copy of Europe Since 1870? We have
on our desk a copy of a gigantic, well-bound,
1142 page History of the Wdrld, containing
over 1000 illustrations and printed on fine
paper, for which we paid one dollar, yet we
paid more than that for a tiny 161 page
foreign language text printed on cheap
paper.
It's beyond our comprehension, but we are
in favor of any action to help bring the
prices of college texts down. .
Wondering, E. G.
Why Not File Old Exam Papers For
Future Reference Purposes?
Editor, The Auburn Plainsman
Dear Sir:
Once again this ritual of final examina­tions
has passed. Students may rest after
their long hours of meditation in the library
and their bright burning of the midnight
oil. But if the resting period is extended
too long into the semester, students will find
themselves so far behind that they must do
a lot of cramming for examinations. A
great deal of this cramming is unnecessary
and could be avoided. We wonder, for
example, why some effort is not made to
supply Auburn students with copies of old
exams? The library would seem the logical
place to maintain such a file for general use.
We know of fraternities in other schools
which keep complete files of finals, accom­panied
by complete notes, for 10 years back.
It seems quite logical and advisable to
us that all final examinations should be
filed for general use. Among a fortunate
few here, they circulate in a rather desul­tory
fashion. What about it?
A Sophomore.
Thunderations
By HUGH CAMERON
* On Other Campuses—By The Wanderer
UNCOMFORTABLE: A sedate North
Carolina coed was taking a course in edi­torial
writing. In one of her papers she
happened to use the expression "as I rise
from the arms of Morpheus in the morn­ing."
Unfortunately she spelled Morpheus
just the way one spells Murphy. Demand­ed
the professor the next day, "Who is this
Murphy out of whose arms thou dost arise
each bright morn."
* * * *
EXPERIMENT: An educational experi­ment
which has aroused widespread in­terest
throughout the United States is un­der
way at Hiram College. The experi­ment
consists of an intensive study plan
under which the student takes only one
course at a time instead of studying sev­eral
simultaneously. Advocates of the plan
claim that it makes for greater thorough­ness
and a higher degree of concentration.
* * * *
THE STUDY OF WAR: More colleges
should adopt the idea which has placed
the study of war oh the curriculum of
Dartmouth College. Such a plan is sensible
if the original purpose of the plan is car­ried
out, which is described as "a study of
war, not a chance for confirmed pacifists
to blow off steam. We have, taken the
precautions to keep thrill hunters out of
the course." The whole thing is roughly
divided into three parts; first, the nature
of war along its various fronts—political,
propaganda, military, economic, and so on;
second, the costs of war—economic, cul­tural,
eugenic; third, the means of pre­serving
peace as related to the leading
causes -of war.
<
The course carries no credit, but has
attracted a large number of intelligent
and fair-minded students.
* * * *
PUBLIC ENEMIES: A couple of Wor-chester
Tech boys were thumbing their
way back to school recently after being
away. They found themselves stranded in
a town, broke and sleepy. The gutter look­ed
very uncomfortable, so the boys ap­plied
at the police station for accommoda­tions
and they got them. They spent the
night in a nice iron-clad cell—in the
woman's division of the jail.
* * * *
UNIQUE: A novel "taxi" dance given
by the Sigma Nus of L. S. U. proved to be
a howling success. Invitations were writ­ten
on penny postcards, announcing an
"extra super-special dance." The club in
which the dance was given was arranged
as a typical taxi dance hall, with ropes
marking the dancing space. Signs spread
around advised the guests as to their con­duct.
"You don't have to be introduced,
just grab a gal" appeared in one place; in
another spot, "Deposit your gal here after
every dance and grab a fresh one."
The idea sounds good.
On Your Radio—By John B. Thomas
Well, if you didn't go to the dances you
should be sorry because you certainly missed
something; if you did go you are probably
sorry because you have something left—a
hangover. Nevertheless, we all had a swell
time and Kay is still tops.
We hope there will be no dissention if
this column nominates Bobby Guy as the
best musician of the organization. His
trumpet playing is a distinct asset to Ky-ser's
style. I know one fellow who asked
him to play "Love and Learn" at least once
every dance. It seems that there was a little
girl who liked it. However this isn't the
scandal column, so we'll stop right there.
After the first day it began to look as
if Auburn's greatest attraction to Mr. Kay
was food. The boys at the Snake House will
be paying during the next month for the
hole Mr. Kay and the boys knocked in the
I
larder. The servants called him Mr. Kay
and fed him in true Southern style. The
drummer "Shorty" Berry, remarked no less
than five times that he was gonna' write
home about that Auburn ham.
Kay says that Russ Morgan may be all
right on his special selections like "Wabash
Blues", but musicians recognize Tommy
Dorsey as the greatest trombonist of them
all.
If you don't believe Kay was sincere in
his sympathy, just ask the telephone oper­ator.
He spent fifteen dollars Thursday
night calling California to see how Virginia
Sims was feeling.
Sully Mason, Bill Stoker, Art Wright, and
"Ish" can't go unmentioned. Bill and
Arthur had all the girls sighing. Sully and
"Ish" had everyone crowding the bandstand
when they did their novelties. And Nancy
Nelson was a great substitute for Virginia.
Well, girls, everything is calm and cool
after this set of dances we have just had
but as yet everything isn't collected. Soon
does the City collect
all the fines levied on
such students they en­tertained
during, the
dances they will have
enough to build an­other
High School.
* * * #
'Tis said the Pi K.
A.'s, the Sigma Nu's
et al and several other fraternities had
house parties, but the best attended was the
one had at the city jail. As Dorothy Parker
would say: If all the students who got put
in jail this week-end were laid end-to-end
they would get put into jail again.
* * * *
This little story is good even if not true.
Tis said one good Dean over at the college,
wanting to see what had happened to his
students during the dances got up and asked
all members of his class who had gotten
tight during the dances to rise and stand.
Andy Elliott or somebody else Was sleeping
as usual during the rising and didn't hear
the request, but awoke at the scraping of
feet. "What's the matter", he yawned, as
he got to his feet, "Did someone whistle the
Star Spangled Banner?"
* * * *
All of you who would still like to listen to
a dance band after such a hectic week would
do well to go to the Tech dances this coming
Thursday, Friday, and Saturday. Shep
Fields, the up and coming fastly band is
there Thursday and Friday, and our own
Kay Kyser in there Wash Night. If for
no other reason I would like to go to see
that concertina pusher of Field's do the
Italian Street Song or some such on that
push box of his. The dances will be held
in the Naval Armory that Tech talked the
Navy Dept. into, and there will be room
enough to holler or anyother thing you
might wish to do that isn't against the
rules of the Atlanta Police Dept.
* * * *
The only thing bad about the local
dances was the lack of space. Especially
Saturday night. But since the space was
taken by such a nice assortment of blondes
and things hollering at this time about the
lack of space is quite out of order.
* * * *
Somebody on seeing the thing that Jim
Howard Pitts has done to the uptown land­scape
in building his hotel wanted to know
what whirl wind has come through town.
And was told that was no wind of any sort
unless tis the wind P. Bag is expelling try­ing
to convince this ex-Huntington job
that he loves her better than somewhat.
Stuff and things, as Ogletree would say.
Pete's Epistle
dere Paw
O boy! do i feel fine? i dident do any­thing
from Thursday on last week but lay
around and rest. Everybody else got dronk
and danced and got in jale and thangs but
i jest bided my time and tuck hit easy.
"My Pal" merritt had some dances they
say. Everybody had there best gals down
but me and yew know why. Yew dident
make that last run of cawn and send me
the money. I thank that-was fer the best
tho fer instead of having Mirandy Lou down
i Went tew the Univoisety tew see a gal
named Melissey. I dont thank i can be true
tew Mirandey no longer.
There is two thangs about the dances of
interest. Sid Cook had a cream Chy Ome-ger
of the U. of A. named Alice Street Rob­ertson
down. And the sigh Twerp Murphey
let out when Art Wright sang To Mary
With Love and smiled at her. Oh yeah!
Make it three. The way sax tooter Puss
Buisieret looked when he called Chicago
three times during the night only tew find
out that his wife dident come in til late
morning.
As fer why else i dident make the dances
it was fer the same reason University
Blanchard Brown dident make them . . . .
the love of his good greek brothers. And
manely because while i was at the Universi­ty
making the dances thru the love of a good
greek brother i intermissioned tew frequent­ly
and fell down three flights of stares and
went tew bed in a coal pile sans accouter-ments.
Well, hit was soft cole!
After the midnite plunge of Epistle Pete
i was not in such pert condition having a
misery in the haid, ribs, and as . . . . awful
a pane in my hips as i ever scene, i bin
recooperatin. convalescently yours,
pete,
p. s. i am now a member of the institootion
again. A leetle cawn wood help me tew
carry on.

ACHURNING flood had taken out the telephone line
across a Colorado stream. Repairmen couldn't wade
it because of quicksand—couldn't cross elsewhere and
bring back the line because of obstructions.
Then Kayo's master had an idea. He went upstream,
crossed, came back and whistled. Kayo jumped in—swam
across with a cord tied to bis collar. With this cord, the
wire was soon pulled over—communication was restored.
A small incident. But i t typifies the ingenuity which
helps Bell System men and women to give you the world's
most dependable telephone service.

WILMORE ADDRESSES JOINT
ENGINEER MEETING RECENTLY
. «
Mechanical And Industrial Engineers Gather In Birmingham
To Hear Auburn Dean Speak On Service Rendered To
Industry By Graduates Of Engineering School Over Country
The interdependence of American
industry and institutions of higher
learning was forcefully set forth by
Dr. John J. Wilmore, engineering
school dean at the Alabama Polytech­nic
Institute, in an address recently in
Birmingham before a joint meeting of
the American Society of Mechanical
Engineers and the American Institute
of Electrical Engineers at the Tut-wiler
Hotel.
After quoting figures to show that
the colleges furnish to industry each
year from 118 out of 186 colleges hav­ing
engineering departments a total
of 11,783 graduates in engineering
and business administration, Dr. Wil­more
concluded that "the colleges are
of real service to industry, and this
service would be missed if the col­leges
were compelled to close.
"We are not chesty or 'uppity' about
this service to industry, however," he
continued. "We realize that the rela­tion
is reciprocal. If industry did not
employ our graduates, we would go
out of business just the same as any
other industry would when the market
for its product was lost. We also
realize that a large part of the sup­port
to higher education comes from
taxes paid by industry. We want your
cooperation in every way possible. We
want to furnish you the men you need,

"We remind you that our material
is four years going through the shop
and we cannot change our schedules
and processes as quickly as they can
be changed in a commercial manu­facturing
plant. Neither can we ana­lyze
and test our raw material as
thoroughly as the commercial plant,
but we believe in our product and are
willing to back it to the limit. We
ask your interest and cooperation and
will welcome constructive suggestions
and criticisms."
More than a million dollars is being
spent this year for various types of
engineering research at Land Grant
Colleges and Universities, he said. As
an example, of the type of 255 active
projects reported last year, he re­ferred
to such cooperative undertak­ings
between the colleges and certain
industries as "A Study of Summer
Cooling" and "A Study of the Heat
Losses of Buildings."
Dr. Wilmore strongly advocated the
passage of national legislation to
establish and maintain Engineering
Experiment Stations in Land Grant
Colleges. Such bills, he said, have
been introduced in a dozen Congresses,
but " the non-Land Grant University
organization has demanded that they
be included in the grant . . . . . . and
has had sufficient political influence
to kill the bill each time."
"If industry had appreciated the
importance to it of such a bill and had
realized the tremendous expansion in
industrial research that would have
resulted from its passage, I believe it
would have rallied to the bill's sup­port
and helped the Land Grant Col­leges
put it over."

Article On Lathe In Ledger
The following article appeared in
The Birmingham Ledger in May,
1917, at a time when, apparently,
Civil War veterans were gathered in
the city for a convention:
"While the old vets are in Birming­ham
talking over old times, there is
an old lathe which helped to make the
cannon of the Confederacy, turning
locomotive tires just six blocks from
the Convention Hall. Both the old
soldiers and the old machine, which
turned out many a fine weapon used
by the gray-bearded warriors to deal
death in their youth, are now pursu­ing
works of peace.
The old machine is located at the
Lynn Iron Works on First Avenue and
Fourteenth Street . . . . Despite the
fact that it has been in operation al­most
continuously for more than half
a century, its big cogged wheels turn
as steadily, as it trims off as surely,
the long curly steel shavings, as it did
when drilling the bore of Confederate
cannon.
There is nothing about the machine,
as it constantly turns out its work,
to suggest the interesting history of
that mass of iron and steel and noth­ing
to suggest the execution that has
been wrought with the completed pro­ducts
of its labor."

viding relief for the people of Auburn.
Since that time I have held conversa­tions
with prominent professional and
business men of Auburn, a vast ma­jority
of whom urged me to proceed
and at the same time promised
support.
"After this work was begun and too
late to withdraw the first issue* from
publication, it came to my notice that
other persons had laid similar plans.
I now believe these plans were made
before my own.
"I am, therefore, withdrawing the
Auburn Times from publication and
cancelling on my books all money due
it for advertising. No subscriptions
were taken.
"There has been no agreement be­tween
me and these persons in regard
to discontinuation, and they know
nothing of the action taken herein.
Mr. Wallace, who edited this paper,
concurs with me in the foregoing."
I expected William B. Stelzenmul­ler
to be elusive. In fact, I almost
believed he was a fictitious character.
From authorities I learned that he
was the eldest son of Mr. J. G. Stelzen­muller
of Birmingham, and was en­rolled
in Civil Engineering. Records
revealed that he belonged to the Sig­ma
Chi social fraternity and the stu­dent
chapters of Tau Beta Pi and A.
S. C. E. honorary organizations; was
a Regimental Sergeant Major in the
Engineer R. 0. T. C. Regiment and
a member of the rifle team.
As a green interviewer I found Mr.
Stelzenmuller modestly accommodat­ing
and natural, with interests, in
many fields. "I chose Auburn", he
explained, "because it is my father's
Alma Mater and for its outstanding
Engineering school. I graduated from
Phillips High of Birmingham in 1930.
It was necessary for me to work four
and a half years before I came to
Auburn. However, I consider some
experience between high school and
college very valuable and a certain
per cent of personal financing in
school definitely stimulating, although
I don't advocate jobs while attending
school. Yes it's true I'm out to beat
my father's record of 97.50, because
I'm taking twenty-six and one-third
hours I may not be able to hold my
average of 97.51. Father was de­finitely
the "boner", and frowned upon
too much frivolity. Personally, I like
a good time and make a point of a
certain amount of recreation—al­though
I have no particular hobbies."
"What's the secret of your success,
Mr. Stelzenmuller? What advice
would you give to Freshmen?" I
ventured.
"Well, I study about twenty-two
hours a week, more or less a routine
METZGER
practice. I believe a person must set
a goal and determine to reach it. My
Freshman year, a fraternity brother
told me to hit the ball hard and the
•habit' stuck. While I believe in in­herited
capacity to learn, you really
get just what you go after. That's
one of the dangers about entering
college too young. You don't know
what you're after and miss many of
the essential values."
While generalizing, Mr. Stelzenr
muller summarized his opinions of co­eds
briefly—"They're a worldly lot,
and on the whole I think they know
what the score is".
He was wary on that topic so we
started on religion. "I don't argue
about religion as I don't believe in
symbolic religion. There is something
there; something I like to wonder
about. No doubt there's lots of truth
and solace in it for some people, but
I think every man is entitled to his
own beliefs."
"In view of the crisis in Europe,
what is your attitude toward war",
I parried.
"I believe in war only as a defen­sive
measure, and not from the stand­point
of invasions. The situation in
Europe is tight, but the United States
neutrality measures will keep us out,
I hope."
As the interview drew to a close—
"Mr. Stelzenmuller, would you tell me
what you like best about Auburn?".
"I like the friendly attitude of the
students and the democracy of the
campus and town. The faculty is
swell."
Personally, I feel that Mr. Stelzen-muller's
personality and splendid re­cord
at Auburn will insure his suc­cess
and serve as a source of stimula­tion
to his present and future col­leagues.

The following made the honor roll
in the fifth grade for December:
Jimmy Dick, Paul Irvine, Bernard
Murphree, Claude Saidla, Billy Sal­mon,
Ray Stephens, Jimmy Tucker,
Phyllis Barrington, Daphne Brown,
Beverley Ann Burkhardt, Geraldine
Collum, Marion Dillon, Martha Hay,
Barbara Ingram, Jean Swingle and
Ada Wright.
Benevolence includes financial and
other, aids to Confederate soldiers and
their widows. Thirty odd widows of
veterans are now drawing $500 month­ly
from the benevolent fund. Vet­erans'
homes and other provisions are
made for them.
The organization, which has 40,000
members in 37 states, possesses an
endowment fund of $500,000 for edu­cation.
Annual expenditures include
$4000 in gift scholarships to students
in institutions of higher learning,
$4000 in tuitions, and $2000 in loans.
In addition, the Baruch prize of
$1000 is awarded bi-monthly to the
author of the best monograph on
southern history.
The Jefferson Davis Historical
Foundation is the main unit in the
historical work of the association.
Books are supplied libraries, colleges,
and high schools throughout the
South; also in 13 leading institutions
in the North and East and several in­stitutions
in foreign countries.
The association assists also in book
adoptions with a view to teaching
children the true facts about southern
history. "No effort," said Mrs. Jones,
"is made to perpetuate any bitterness
of the Civil War but rather to pre­serve
that which is true and which de­serves
to be preserved."
The club voted to participate in
President Roosevelt's birthday ball in
Student Hall, Saturday evening of
this week, thus joining other clubs of
the state and nation in honoring the
President and participating in a
worthy project of charity.
Dr. B. F. Thomas reported to the
club on a health clinic to be promoted
by the physicians of Auburn thrice
weekly for one year, starting Feb­ruary
