The nominations for the May Day
Queen who is to reign during the May
Day Festival that is to be held Sat­urday
night, May 1, were announced
by Netty Murphy, who is in charge of
the Festival, Tuesday night after each
of the different women's organiza­tions
had named their candidate. An

Elaborate Program Planned
All women students will take part in
the elaborate program that has been
planned, and it will take place in the
area behind the President's Mansion.
The program's theme will be that of
Mother Goose lore, depicting all those
favorite characters.
A galaxy of colors and characters
will go to make the scene one of a
regular Mother Goose community na­ture.
The pageant might be expected
to go somewhat akin to this: Mary
Quite Contrary and Alice in Wonder­land
are playing and dancing about
when the Sandman enters and scatters
sand about them to make the Magic
"Dream Ring" which immediately
causes them to fall asleep.
Then into the dream of Alice comes

Sigma Nu Win From A.G.R.
In Frat Tourney Finals, 23-21
By JOHN WATTERS
The Sigma Nu's repeated their last
year's victory in the Interfraternity
Basketball Tournament by defeating
the Alpha Gamma Rho's, 23 to 21, in
a thrilling game last night in Alumni
Gym.
At the start the Sigma Nu cagers
seemed to have had the situation pret­ty
well in hand, but as the game pro­gressed
and "Woody" Hall and John
Scarborough continually found the
basket, the game took on a very in­teresting
aspect. With three minutes
left to play the score was tied up at
18-18, and from then on the game was
a toss up with the Sigma Nu team
finally breaking through to win.
Cup Presented After Game
At the completion of the contest,
Lopez Mantoux, chairman of inter­fraternity
athletics, presented the Sig­ma
Nu team with the trophy which is
emblematic of the campus basketball
crown. As a result of this victory, the
Sigma Nu's will represent our campus
in the proposed match with the Kap­pa
Sig team from the University of
Alabama. The University champions
have been wired and asked to come
down for a game with the Sigma Nu's
and if they accept the game will prob­ably
be held in the gym sometime this
week-end.
The first part of next week an elec­tion
will be held to determine the all-star
for the tournament, and the re­sults
of this election will appear in an
early issue of this paper.
Plans for an independent baseball
league are taking shape. Joe Sarver,
chairman of independent athletics,
wishes to get in touch with those men
who intend to enter teams in this
league. He may be reached at the Phi
Delta Theta house.

Auburn's swimming team returned
home from their three day road trip
last Friday with a record of one win
and one defeat. The Tigers defeated
Maryville College Wednesday night,
43-41, but were defeated the following
evening by Tennessee's mermen, 56-19.
After winning from Maryville in a
close meet the Plainsmen drove all day
and were not in top form when they
met Tennessee. The Volunteer tank­men
are rated as one of the best in
the conference. Last year Auburn re­turned
home from their trip with the
same record: defeated Maryville but
lost to Tennessee.
Woodward, Forbes High Men
Captain Brandt Woodward and Ed
Forbes tied for high point honors on
the trip with 11 points apiece. They
were followed by Griswold with eight,
and Kitchell, McCue, and Lylons each
received seven points. Kitchell is a
newcomer to the team and has been
turning in some fine performances to
date. With but two days of practice
he donned a suit and swam the 50
yard dash against Georgia, winning
this event.

The Plainsman Student Opinion
Poll which was held yesterday showed
that a vast majority of the students
favored the legal sale of whiskey, both
in Alabama and in their home county.
A plurality of opinion was in favor of
changing the method of selection of
the Publications heads from the popu­lar
vote to the appointment by a Pub­lication
Committee, composed in half
of faculty and in half of students. The
preference in numerical sequence of
the regular features appearing on the
editorial page was polled.
Approximately 850 ballots were cast
during the day. A tabulation shows
the following results: For repeal in
the state—295 favoring and 73 oppos-ing-;-
for repea 1 in their home-county—
198 favoring and 81 opposing. Of
course, a large number of the voters
voting were out-of-state students, and
many of them did not show any pre­ference
either for or against repeal.
Publication Change Favored
In voting whether a change in the
selection of Publications heads from
popular election to appointment, 210
voted in favor of the change. 147
were opposed to the change. A great
number failed to express their opinion
at all upon this issue.

showed their appreciation and
enjoyment of the extraordinary sing­ing
and playing by the spontaneous
and enthusiastic applause at the close
of each number.
The program opened with the glee
club singing the two numbers "Hark!

Tau Kappa Alpha is the largest
organization of its type in America
having eighty-seven chapters located
in prominent schools of the country.
At the present time Lowell Thomas
is the national president. Those
chosen last night are either members
of the sophomore or junior class, this
being one of the requirements of the
Tau Kappa Alpha constitution.

Auburn High Beats WetumpkaTeam
Winning Place In State Tournament
By ROY POWELL
Auburn High won the right to re­present
the Fifth District in the state
basketball tournament at Tuscaloosa
when they completely smashed a
strong quintet from Wetumpka in the
play-off at Riverview Monday night
by a score of 25-11. This year mark­ed
the third straight year the locals
have entered the play-off, and the
second straight year they have been
victorious in their bid for a shot at
the state championship.
Meeting the Wetumpka aggregation
twice during the regular season, and
falling both times before the sharp-shooting,
Auburn was conceded little
chance of turning the tables on the
classy Wetumpka five. Auburn dis­played
the same fight and spirit that
won many games for them this year
as they took the lead in the opening
seconds of the game by virtue of a
field goal by Paul Starr. A free
goal gave them three points, but We­tumpka
tied the score, and the first
quarter ended there.
Gain in Last Half
Auburn led at the half, 9-7, and, in
the last half, began pulling away from
the fighting quintet from Wetumpka.
The close guarding of Wadkins and
Chrietzberg held the foe scoreless in
the third period, and Ham led the
Baby Tigers to grab an eight point
lead at the end of the quarter. The
spirit seemed to vanish from Wetump­ka
as the Auburn lads smothered
their passes and stopped play after
play to grab a fair lead that was
never threatened.
Charlie Ham, the bespectacled
sharpshooter, and Paul Starr, high
point manufacturer, led the scoring
brigade Monday night with eight and

of the entire program. It was en­cored
again and again. Later in the
concert the three girls appeared once
more and were received with even
more enthusiasm then the previous
time.
Misses Davisson and Thornton then
sang two lively numbers — "Rigua-don"
and "Gigue", and the entire
group joined voices in the two songs
— "The Nile" and "Hard Trials".
The first half of the program ended
with Miss Davisson playing a violin

For Long-Time Resident
A new Board of-Student Publications, consisting of four seniors
and four faculty members, was created last night by vote of the
Student Executive Cabinet to replace the present student Publica­tions
Committee. This committee, in addition to exercising gen­eral
supervision, will qualify candidates for editor-in-chiefs and
business managers of The Plainsman .and The Glomerata to be
elected by vote of the Junior Class.
"The plan adopted is a compromise between the advocates of the
appointive and the elective systems," said Joe Sarver, president of
the Cabinet. Purpose of the change is to raise the standards for
officials of student publications and to set up a cooperative, work­ing
board of competent students and faculty members.
Beginning next year, student representatives on the new Board
will be taken from a list of at least eight seniors submitted in Sep­tember
by the faculty members of the Board to the Executive
Cabinet for final selection. These
members are to serve for the entire
year.
Is Effective Immediately
In order that the Board may start
its work immediately, it was decided
by the cabinet that four outstanding
members of the Senior Class would
serve as student representatives for
the remainder of this year. Those
namaed by the cabinet and approved
by the faculty members of the com­mittee
are Joe Stewart, Tom Powell,
Walter Schuster, and M. E. Weather-by.
With Prof. R. B. Draughon, newly
appointed executive secretary of the
College, serving as ex-officio chair­man
of the new Board, the faculty re­presentatives
will be Prof. James R.
Rutland, head of the English depart­ment;
W. T. Ingram, College account­ant;
and Prof. Joseph E. Roop, as­sistant
professor of English in charge
of Journalism instruction.

Happy Ending
The new plan inaugurated to quali­fy
publication heads and to supervise
student publications in general should
be both efficient and popular.
A better understanding and greater
cooperation between the publications
and the college is one of the foremost
objects of the new system which calls
for an active Publications Committee.
Not that the relations between these
two has not been good, but an effec­tive
and active board composed of stu­dents
and faculty advisers should be
able to build the publications into bet­ter
organizations for the mutual bene­fit
of students and the college.
As to the method of election of pub­lication
heads, we must admit that
our point was lost in part. We de­sired
full authority by this committee
to appoint editors and business man­agers.
However, the method chosen
to be used is, undeniably, the more
popular and, if carried out in the best
possible manner, should be as effec­tive
as appointive methods.
So it should be a satisfactory solu­tion
to a problem that has been before
the student body for a good number
of years.
Going Forward
The new Publications Committee
comes into being faced with a great
many problems that will have to be
solved before much advancement can
be made on publications. We wish to
set forth several of these problems.
Each year there is some money
usually made by both The Plainsman
and Glomerata. What shall this sur­plus
be used for ? Shall it go back in­to
the college funds, or a fund created
by each publication? Or shall it be
used on some student activity such as
intramural sports for independent
students ? Another thing which might
be done along this line is to reduce
student subscription rates thereby do­ing
away with the surplus usually
created.
With publication positions becom­ing
more and more a real job and not
just an extra-curricular activity and
also the college scholastic standards
raised, some action must be taken to
put the job on more shoulders than
the editor's and business manager's.
This will call for a small payment of
money to assistants. Some system
must be worked out along this line.
Directing the policies of the publi­cations
is another problem. However,
the less actual "directing" done, the
better cooperation should be had be­tween
the publications and the com­mittee.
Just how much directing of
policies shall be done is a point that
must be solved. From time to time
publication heads will need advice.
Then is the time assistance should be
rendered by the board.
Finally, the major problem of the
committee—that of qualifying candi­dates.
Firmness and fairness must be
employed by the committee and what­ever
action taken by that group must
be backed by the Executive Cabinet.
Each student appearing before the
board will have certain qualifications
—and weaknesses—his case must be
considered from all angles with every
member of this body giving his can­did
opinion as to whether the student
is well qualified or not.
All these problms cannot be solved
in a month and probably not in a year
but constant attention and study must
be devoted to them by this committee
because on this group falls the re­sponsibility
of carrying student pub­lications
foward.
It Doesn't Pay
There always comes this problem:
"Is it wiser for me to go to school by
working my way or for me to stay
out for a year or two until I am fi­nancially
able to attend without hav­ing
to do any work other than my
studies."
Annually letters pour into the col­lege
from every county in Alabama
asking for aid in securing jobs; the
prospective employees greatly out­number
the jobs. It is a problem
which has become serious and will
call for some definite plan.
Then let us suppose that every
available job is filled by students who
must spend all their extra hours work­ing
for room and board, do they get
their money's worth? Are they justi­fied
in being enrolled here? An edu­cation
worth getting at all is worth
getting well. Under some conditions
a student must do his job then squeeze
in what classes and study hours he is
able. It is a case of "not letting school
interfere with the job." In moderate
cases where the hours are short the
situation is less serious.
But then these students complete,
somehow, the four years and secure a
job. They are not well prepared in
most cases because they have not had
a fair chance.
It is a struggle all the way through
college and a serious penalty after
school days. Of course, in a great
many cases there is no way around
this situation, but most prospective
students could spend an extra year
plowing old Bet or in Dad's store and
avoid this harmful practice .of
working all extra hours while attend­ing
school.
On Girls Smoking
Reading that one of our fellow suf­ferers—
or brother collegiate editors
—is much opposed to girls smoking at
his co-educational school, we are in­clined
to sit back and laugh. Now we
admit that college editors in their
brainless way are always pulling for
something that should be of benefit
to their colleges and some good is done
—nearly as much as the harm done.
But when any college editor can per­suade
even one co-ed to give up her
smoking, we'll say he has more power
than we'd ever give,him credit for.
But this is what he says in part and
it is just about the gist of what some
boys object to in smoking on the part
of the fairer sex:
"Where are those good old days
when women were women and men
did the smoking? . . . Why does the
woman wish to compete with the man
even in the dirty habit of smoking
thereby taking away the little fem­ininity
which she has left? In most
part it is a show put on by women for
man's benefit, and we only don't like
it, we detest i t . . . You, women, whose
breath formerly reminded us of the
first breath of Spring now recalls to
our minds the smell of a dingy bar­room,
and whose hands are no longer
like the lily, and whose teeth are no
longer pearls, why do you do thus?"
On first reading we believed that
the writer was trying to write a satire
on the matter, but we are convinced
that he was never more serious when
he pleaded with college officials to
take steps to prohibit this practice at
the school.
Now that is what we consider the
prize "goose" editorial of the year. If
all that is wrong with women is the
fact that they smoke then they have
lost little in the average man's esti­mation.
A report from a nearby college for
women tells of a man who is a man. It
seems that a girl had her picture printed in
a paper last week for having a high scho­lastic
record. The next day a young man
walked into one of the college buildings.
"Where's Jenny?" he asked. "Jenny who,"
chimed in a chorus of girls. "I don't know
her last name, but she was in the right-hand
corner of the picture in the paper yes­terday,"
the youth replied. The young lady
thus identified was brought in to the young
man. He seized her hands—and proposed to
her on the spot. But the lady had a heart of
stone, so our story-book romance was ruined.

WITH PLENTY OF LIQUOR AND
YOU may become a respectable tune. To
say the least, we can watch the results of
today's referendum. That is, if voters don't
misinterpet the various propaganda that has
been distributed which instructs us in the
evils of the return of legal whiskey. "The
roll call" out at the Windmill might even
become something of an "upright nature".
Always giving the newspapers their right­ful
deserts, we must in this time of decision
give them, most of them, the credit of back­ing
a deserving cause or either hunting big
headlines on the wet side. They have done a
lot and have learned a lot above the'his­tory
and the various elements of the mat­ter.
It has been a big and glamorous parade
that will necessarily have a "hangover" in
equal proportions.

ALABAMA HUSBANDS ARE REACH­ING
THEIR HEY-DAY at last. Repre­sentative
Cook submits a bill, providing for
a husband to secure a divorce without any
trouble or alimony if the little wife "socks
him in the nose". Could it be that the women
are making this concession because of a
somewhat lean leap year, or is it that the
men are merely sticking up for their rights?

WITH A "BLUE MONDAY" IN RE­TROSPECT,
one watches the world arming
for a war. Maybe not a war in the "near
future", but almost surely in the "com­paratively
near future". That is, if the
promoters of wars aren't put out of business.
With a special session of the non-inter­vention
committee called in London, Spain
learns that all nations will observe a strict
neutrality after next Saturday, but with a
saying as dark as the outlook, one might
add, "Which next Saturday?" In view of
this particular development, starvation, lack
of war supplies, and huge death toll, Gen­eral
Franco of the Rebels may be quoted as,
"I am putting all my resources into one
last lunge to win or lose. To get it over
with".
When Monday comes and it isn't a holi­day,
laborers are expected to return to their
work, but it wasn't so in many cases on this
last Monday. Strikes are still raging. A
kind of indignant fervor has risen in the
American working man; things aren't as
he would like for them to be—when have
they ever been, and when are they expected
to reach that state of satisfaction?

This might be considered as another very
good neutrality measure as well as a protec­tion
of our pockets in the financing of

Sir Anthony Eden hands the U. S. a bou­quet

Plainsman Forum—Voice of the Students
Invites Students To Join College
Scout Fraternity
Editor, The Auburn Plainsman
Dear Sir: - '
The purpose of my letter is to acquaint
the students of Auburn with the purpose
and activities of Alpha Phi Omega.
After studying the activities of the vari­ous
fraternities on the campus, I find that
something is sorely lacking. Sports, danc­ing,
games, and other recreational activities
are included among the functions of these
fraternities. However, none of them seem
to devote much time to outdoor life. By
this, I mean camping, hiking, fishing, swim­ming,
and similar outdoor activities.
I feel sure that the average student at
Auburn has been, at some time or other,
connected with the Boy Scouts. Many of
these have attained the rank of Eagle Scout,
which is the highest honor in Scouting.
Some have achieved other honors. I know
that all who were actively connected with
a Scout troop have had many interesting
and educational experiences while in Scout­ing
and should like to continue their con­nections
therewith, by means of an organi­zation
for college students.
The Alpha Phi Omega fraternity serves
the . purpose of bringing together former
Scouts while at college, enabling them to re­tain
their connection with Scouting. The
Delta chapter at Auburn is one of forty-eight
similar chapters in the various uni­versities
and colleges throughout the coun­try.
Alpha Phi Omega is strictly an hon­orary
fraternity, with membership open to
any First Class, Star, Life, or Eagle Scout
or Sea Scout. The chapter holds its meet­ing
every Thursday night at 7:00 P. M. in
the building over the A. & P. store "(which is
the same building used by the Junior Cham­ber
of Commerce).
The quarters have recently been renovat­ed
and members have access to a reading and
lounging roorii. A definite program of ac­tivities,
including indoor and outdoor func­tions
as well, has been outlined for the re­mainder
of the year, and should include
something of special interest to everyone.
A. L. Thomas is the faculty adviser. Any
former Scout interested in membership in
Alpha Phi Omega may visit him at his of­fice
in the Engineering building—Prof.
Thomas will give him any information he"
may desire concerning the fraternity.
All former Scouts attending college are in­vited
to be present at the next meeting to­morrow
night at 7:00 P. M. The entrance
to the chapter room is via Toomer's alley.
Someone will be there to direct you.
Thank you, H. B. Title.
"Starving Student" Writes Again
About Eating Places
Editor, The Auburn Plainsman
Dear Sir:
I see where some student—or some irate
proprietor, perhaps—was interested enough
to protest against the charges of unsanita-tion
prevailing in most of the boarding
houses and cafes of Auburn. Or perhaps I
misunderstood his meaning, maybe his place
is the only sanitary place in town!
I do not wish to be personal and as I took
enough interest to find out the name of
this "miracle palace" of soup, nuts, and fish
I shall not dispute the gentleman's word
that his place is sanitary. I do say that if
this is true, I sincerely wish that the other
places would follow suit.
Perhaps I should resent the gentleman's
slam concerning the disreputable place
where according to him I must eat, but it
does seem as if that inestimable gentleman
overlooked the fact that I stated that all the
experiences quoted in my letter were not my
own. In fact every statement was from dif­ferent
persons who ate at entirely different
places including the pick of the cafes and
boarding houses in Auburn.
But I do wish to thank the gentleman for
his interest shown. Perhaps if other stu­dents
showed the same if not more interest,
the conditions would soon be remedied.
Still existing,
"Starving Student".

To Tooker who has the flu we send a big
bunch of roses. Maybe it is for her per­formance
Saturday night.
We have been chided and scolded by both
professors and students for last Wednesday
writing a small news story in which we
quoted poetry concerning one Johnny Mc-
Guire who dashed through town with his
trouser-seat aflame and who fainted when
the doctor told him his end was in sight.
We were accused of corrupting the morals
of Auburn students and kindling the darkest
emotions of the dear little tots.
* * . * *
But it really is not our fault. For we
grew up under the questionable influence of
such infamous literature as Puss in Boots
and Cinderella. Carefully shielded children
in other families were never sullied by
knowledge of such works, but we were.
We wonder if you have ever read Puss in
Boots. Too late now, we realize that there
is a tale to corrupt any infant less" formid­able
than Pollyanna herself. The vainglory
that struts and the craft that peeps through
its pages were too much for us. We shud­der,
now to remember the savage pleasure
we took in that cruel, cruel catastrophe
when Puss beguiled the Ogre into making a
mouse of himself and forthwith devoured
him!
"Fee-fi-fum! I smell the blood of an Eng­lishman!"
we malevolently chanted in our
childish treble, to the terror of our play­mates.
And Jack the Giant Killer we knew, and
Blue Beard also. From Cinderella we learn­ed
envy, jealousy, vanity, a dislike of half-sisters
and a love of dress. The highly im­moral
Rollo books started us on»our down­ward
path as miserable sinners.
* * * *
However, all our greediness and spite and
the other naughty traits in which we indulge
in did not come from these sources.
For there was a passage in Mother Goose
which for downright evil influence was be­like
the most baneful of all:
Three blind mice,
See how they run;
They all ran after the farmer's wife,
She cut off their tails with a carving knife,
Did ever you see such a sight in your life?
Three blind mice.
Having captured our childish imagination
with the first three lines, the jingles launch­ed
into a scene so madly monstrous that it
would have curdled the sweetest milk of
human kindness. Had the farmer's wife
possessed a drop of pity or a shred of good
character, she would have been touched by
the sight of the precious little blind creatures
frisking about her. And she would have
conquered her instinctive fear of the rod­ents,
gathered her skirts prudently about
her, and presented each mouse with a piece
of cheese. But instead she bloodily cut off
their tails with a carving knife!
* * * *
Can you wonder that the innocence of our
childhood was sullied and that we now glee­fully
corrupt the best morals in the hearts
of the little Auburn students by telling them
the story of Johnny McGuire!

TURBINE STEEL CREEPS
F the wrong kind of steels were used in
turbine construction, the machine would
not go creeping across the floor with the opera­tor
in hot pursuit, but the results might be
even more disastrous.
Part of the increase in efficiency that has come
about in the power-generating field in the last
few years has been due to increased steam
temperatures and pressures. As a result, the
modern turbine shell runs, almost literally, red
hot. This shell must withstand pressures such
as exist half a mile down in the ocean and must
keep a 20-ton rotor spinning perfectly in line.
Heat softens metal, just as it softens candy,
and permits it to stretch. This stretch, however,
must be kept to the merest creep—about one
part in 1000, if the changes are uniform.
In the Schenectady Works turbine shop, auto­matic
electric furnaces hold samples of turbine
steel at the temperature which will occur in the
turbine. Gauges, which indicate changes of one
part in a million, measure the creep as the
pieces are exposed to heat for years at a time.
From these tests, the best steel is selected.
It has been largely due to this research carried
on by General Electric that the temperature

ICE WATER
EW electric drinking-water coolers in­troduced
by General Electric have re­placed
the antiquated ice-cooled type on several
prominent Midwestern railroads. This is an­other
step in the modernization program being
carried on by railroads to increase passenger
traffic.
The new coolers are designed to overcome
many disadvantages of the ice-cooled units.
With foot operation of the self-contained units,
only one hand need be used to get a drink.
Cleanliness is promoted because of the absence
of ice-filling operations, and the expense for
maintenance and service is reduced to a mini­mum.
The water is automatically maintained at a
healthful and refreshing temperature through
thermostatic control. Coolers are designed
either as self-contained units or as separate
cooling and refrigerant condensing units for
remote installations in the car.

they personally prefer a light smoke*
Miss Jepson verifies the wisdom of this pref­erence,
and so do other leading artists of the
radio, stage, screen and opera. Their voices are
their fortunes. That's why so many of them
smoke Luckies. You, too, can have the throat pro''

Rule Changes Made
In Church Contest
A change in the rules governing
the Go-To-Church month contest has
been made by the Y. M. C. A. contest
committee of which Joe Turner is
chairman.
The rules originally stated that
each church service was to count
one point in the case of those
churches having two services each
Sunday, but two points for those
having only one service. Since this
is discrimination against those
churches having two services, the fol­lowing
changes have been made
which will go into effect immediately.
Each service, regardless of the num­ber
of services the individual church
conducts, will count one point. Fra­ternity
men who attend churches
having only one service may obtain
the other point by attending any of
the other churches having two ser­vices.
Since several of the churches also
do not have an equal number of
young people's organisations, such
as Sunday School, B.Y.P.U., Wesley
Foundation, Christian Endeavor, etc.,
it has been deemed advisable to con­duct
the contest on Church attend­ance
only. This change conceeds a
possible score of two points per Sun­day.
All other rules previously pub­lished
in the Plainsman are still in
effect. Turner emphasized the point
for frat men to register at the church
of their choice.
Fraternity standings will be tabu­lated
and published weekly.

Problems of state high school and
college French instructors were dis­cussed
at the meeting in Auburn
March 6 of the Alabama chapter of
the American Association of Teachers
of French.
Prof. W. H. Coleman of the Uni-versity
of Alabama was elected pres­ident
of the chapter, succeeding Miss
Lorraine Pearson of Montevallo. Miss
Jessie Lee Ansley, faculty member
at Ramsay High School, Birmingham,
was named secretary-treasurer.
Atkinson Presides
Prof. T. P. Atkinson, head of the
department of modern languages at
Auburn, presided over both sessions
of the convention. Assisting with
arrangements for the meeting were
Mrs. S. L. Toomer, Prof. John W.
Roe, and Prof. A. W. Wonderley, of
the modern language department.
The visitors were luncheon guests at
the home of Representative and Mrs.
Toomer, and were entertained follow­ing
the afternoon session by a tea at
the home of President and Mrs. L.
N. Duncan.
Higher standards in required pre­paration
of teachers of French in
Alabama high schools was described
by Prof. Coleman as one of the most
pressing problems in modern lan­guage
instruction. Following his ad­dress,
a committee was appointed to
cooperate with a similar committee
from the modern language division of
the Alabama Education Association
to bring to the attention of superin­tendents
and principals in Alabama
the need of this change.
Prof. E. C. Norton of Judson led
the discussion centering around the
State Department of Education's pro­posal
to institute a new basic cur­riculum
for public schools. She ex­plained
the implications of the new
curriculum for modern language in­struction.
Human Interest Sought
Methods of injecting human inter­est
into language courses were sug­gested
by Prof. J. H. Jones, of Jack­sonville
Teachers' College. He also
stressed the vital-necessity of tstu­dents
being permitted to hear the
language spoken by their instructors.
Other addresses on the program
were made by Prof. Atkinson; Prof.
A. Constans and Prof. M. T. Ham­mond,
Birmingham-Southern; Prof.
Esther Long, Athens.
The Alabama Chapter of the na­tional
association was organized in
Birmingham in December, 1936. Prof.

By FRANKLYN WARD
By the time Richard Halliburton,
gentleman adventurer and lecturer,
had been introduced to the audience
Friday evening by T. B. Peet, director
of the Auburn Players under whose
auspices Mr. Halliburton made his ap­pearance,
Langdon Hall had been fill­ed
to capacity. #
The incidents which Mr. Halliburton
related to his interested audience ran
the gamut of human emotions. From
the frozen pass of St. Bernard high in
the Alps Mr. Halliburton carried his
listeners to the burning sands of the
desert of North Africa where the
French Foreign Legion keeps eternal
vigilance over the Riffs; thence to
that notoripus spot off the coast of
Dutch Guina known as Devil's Island,
where is found the French penal colo­ny
for hopeless criminals.
After the lecturp, which lasted all
of two hours, a group of interested
students, clamoring for autographs in
books and on programs, scrap paper,
and match boxes, crowded around Mr.
Halliburton backstage. One student
broke through the throng and grasp­ing
Halliburton's hand, gave it a
hearty shake. "My ambition is ful­filled",
said he smiling.
Questions flew thick and fast, but

Miss Irene Jordan, soloist, excel­lently

Misses Burns, Painter, Grove, Leckie,
MacMillan, Woodall, and Denham

lation from Mr. Halliburton was one
shot at him by an admirer of feminine
pulchitude.
Beautiful Women Even Here
"In what country did you find the
most beautiful women?"
After some hesitation Mr. Halli­burton
answered, "No country is out­standing
for the beauty of its women,
feminine beauty is found everywhere,
even here in Auburn; however, the
Japanese women are the most dainty
and feminine I have ever seen."
Mr. Halliburton was born in Mem­phis,
Tenn. He first began to travel
at seventeen but was persuaded by
his parents to' return to college. Im­mediately
after graduation the urge
to roam the world again overcame him
and he set forth on a string of ad­ventures
which have lasted for twenty
years. He has been lecturing for the
past thirteen years throughout the
United States.
During his senior year at Princeton,
Mr. Halliburton was elected to the
editorship of the college paper. He
attributes his success as one of Ameri­ca's
most noted roving reporters and
author of five wide-selling books to
the experience he gained while in that
office.

any opinion at all. The final
results were determined by tabulating
the first places attained by the in­dividual
features.
The results were as follows: The
feature, Letters to the Editor, took
first place with' a total of 108 first
place preferences; the column, News
and Views, followed with a close
second with 103 first places; Cats and
Canaries was third with 90; Pete's

took 51; Thunderations tajled in
the last place with 46 first places.
This was the second student poll
held by the Plainsman this year. The
Poll was in the charge of and conduct­ed
by James Buritin and Howard
Workman, managing editors. It was
their intention to arrive at a con­clusion
as to how the student body

The attention of thousands of read­ers—
perhaps millions—has been di­rected
to the now famous "go-to-col-lege
poultry project" originated this
year at Auburn.
This has been the result of an arti­cle
explaining the plan in the Febru­ary
issue of Nationally circulated
Country Gentleman and the blanket­ing
of the country with a terse dis­patch
on the idea by the Associated
Press. This week college authorities
here received a request for an 850-
word article on the "go-to-college
poultry project" from the American
weekly, Sunday feature section car­ried
in all Hearst newspapers.
Every year American colleges—in­cluding
Auburn—are over-run with
requests by prospective students to
earn their way through college. Real­izing
that "college can be only a place
to learn and not a place to earn
money", officials here did some think­ing.
Since Federal figures indicate that
the State of Alabama needs the eggs
of one and one-half million more hens
to supply its present consumption, it
is obvious that 5,000 young men each
with laying flocks of 300 hens can
find a market for their eggs in Ala­bama.
The unique and practical idea in
reality is nothing more than "cold
facts". It is this: By looking ahead,
a student during his high school days
may develop a flock of 300 laying
hens that will pay his college expenses.
In other words it provides that a boy
take 300 good hens each year and
made them "lay him through college"!
The plan was worked out by P. O.
Davis, former executive secretary at
Auburn, and John E. Ivey,- extension
poultryman. Mr. Ivey has ample proof
that a boy can do it if he manages his
hens properly.
The plan has been presented in 60
of Alabama's 67 counties to be effec­tive
this fall and it is estimated that
1,200 Alabama boys and girls will de­velop
college flocks.
Cap, Gown Contract
Given To May, Green
Charlie Lawrence, president of the
Senior Class, announced yesterday
that contracts for caps and gowns
have been let to May and Green Co.,
of Montgomery. The rental price sub­mitted
was $1.35 per outfit. This
price is considerably under the last
year figure.
Representatives of May and Green
will come to Auburn within the next
two weeks to take measurements for
the caps and gowns. The exact date
will be published later.
