In view of the recent action of the Publications Board in qualifying four candidates for the editorship of the Plainsman, I hereby withdraw my candidacy in favor of James Buntin, and request all who favor my candidacy to support Mr. Buntin.

Hess Editor of the Plainsman—James Buntin, Robert Johnston, Lewis B. Thomas, and Howard Workman. Business Manager of the Plainsman —H. B. Darden and C. M. Pruet. Editor of the Glomerata—G. L. Bil-bro, and Morris Hall. Business Manager of the Glomerata —Jarvis Brown and W. E. Tanner. In making the announcement of qualified candidates, the Board stated that all aspirants for publication positions next year would be required to meet a scholastic average of 80 per cent. The scholastic requirement did not hold this year. The Board explained that its reason for adhering to this requirement in the future is that a student holding a position on either the Plainsman or the Glomerata should rank high scholastically in order to perform the strenuous work on the publications and at the same time not fail to graduate with his class. The portion of Article IV of the (Continued on Page 4) Lee County To Exceed Cripple Children Fund Prospects are that Lee County, including the City of Auburn, will exceed its quota of funds to be raised this year for the relief of crippled children, according to Dr. Paul Irvine, district director for the Alabama Crippled Children's Society. Funds raised in this county will be used to care for additional cases in Lee County and for those whose treatment was not completed last year, he explained. All funds will be matched from State and Federal agencies as was the case last year when almost $1,000 was expended for unfortunate tots in Lee County. Drive for funds is being made through civic organizations and Crippled Children Seals are available at all school buildings. They will also be sold on the streets of Auburn next Friday, he said. Treasurer for the Lee County Welfare Council is W. T. Ingram, of Auburn, who is receiving contributions this week. The drive terminates on Easter Sunday. The Auburn varsity and freshman debating teams will leave here today on a four-day tour of Georgia colleges, accompanied by Professor E. D. Hess, debating coach. The varsity members who will make the trip are George Hairston and Roy Bolen. George Hiller and Winfrey Boyd comprize the Freshman team. The Freshmen will inaugurate* the first contest of the trip when they meet the Mercer Freshmen at Macon, Georgia, Wednesday afternoon. The varsity is scheduled to debate the Mercer varsity Wednesday evening. On Thursday morning the Freshmen will oppose the first year students of the University of Georgia Night School. The rest of the day will be spent in inactivity, and Friday morning the varsity will meet the Emory University team at a convocation of students in the Tech High auditorium. Martha Berry Debated The Auburn teams will leave Atlanta Friday morning for Martha Berry School in Rome, Georgia. That afternoon the Freshmen will engage the Martha Berry Freshmen and that night the varsity teams of the two (Continued on Page 4) " Wings Over Europe" Will Be Presented Play To Be Given At 8 O'Clock Monday Night Will Be First Production Of This Semester Frosh Swimmers Meet Boys' High Tonight, 7 Auburn's freshman swimming team engages Boy's High from Atlanta at 7 o'clock tonight in the Alumni gymnasium in their initial start of the season, as part of the "A" Day program. No admission will be charged for the event. Boy's High have their usual strong outfit and will provide stiff opposition for the Auburn frosh. Last year they won over Emory and Georgia Tech and placed second in the state high school swimming meet. Auburn has the material for a very good freshman tank team this season. T. R. Long, P. G. Pease, F. 0. Haggard, P. I. Barnes, T. S. Smith, and J. S. Roberts will swim in the freestyle events. W. B. Campbell, H. E. Mohns, and R. E. Heath will represent the group in the breaststroke, and A. J. Wood will compete in the diving. This year's freshman team is captained by H. E. Mohns and is managed by T. H. Nolen. By FRANKLYN WARD As their first production of the second semester, "Wings Over Europe", a futuristic melodrama laid in the British Empire, will be presented by the Auburn Players next Monday evening at eight o'clock in Langdon Hall. This play has had good running in such cities as London, Chicago, and New York. It has been praised by some' of the country's outstanding critics, and has gained the acclamation of vast audiences, who for the past few years have witnessed the performance. The extreme novelty of the play lies in its setting and time. "Wings Over Europe" is not a mythical story of what might happen years hence, nor is it a story connected with the past; it is a story of the present. The action begins in the cabinet room at No. 10 Downing Street, the home of the Prime minister of the British Empire. Set Is Large Much labor has been put on the set to produce the dignified air befitting (Continued on Page 4) Theta Chi Is Leading Go-To-Church Contest Theta Chi is leading in the Inter-fraternity "Go-To-Church" contest at the end of the first period. The contest is sponsored by the Y. M. C. A. Much interest has been shown by the fraternities taking part in the contest. The results of the first check-up are: Theta Chi, 108; T. U. O., 86; Alpha Psi, 39; S. P. E., 29; Sigma Chi, 28; Phi Delta Theta, 26; S. A. E., 25; A. L. T., 15; Delta Sigma Phi, 13; Lambda Chi, 13; Pi K. A., 13; A. T. O., 12; Kappa Sigma, 9; Kappa Alpha, 6; Sigma Pi, 6; Sigma Nu, 5; Phi Kappa Tau, 3; Pi Kappa Phi, 1; Theta Kappa Nu, 1; and the rest of the fraternities have not reported any points. Scoring is counted according to the number of members and pledges in the fraternity attending any service of a church. Each attendance reported counts one point. The fraternity amassing the largest number on points in the month'set aside for the contest will be awarded a loving cup by the Y. M. C. A.

Delta Sigma Pi Be Represented In Atlanta Meet The local chapter of Delta Sigma Pi, international professional fraternity for business students, is planning a joint anniversary celebration with the chapters of the fraternity at Georgia Tech and University of Georgia on April 3 in Atlanta. The Kappa Chapter at Georgia Tech, the Pi Chapter # at the University of Georgia, and the Beta Lambda Chapter at Auburn, all have their anniversaries during the last week of March, so after planning by the presidents of the three chapters, it was decided to hold a joint celebration in Atlanta on Saturday, April 3. On the afternoon of April 3 the members of the fraternity will make an industrial tour through one of Atlanta's largest industries, the Atlanta Brewery. The celebration will be topped off with a dance given to the members of the fraternity by Kappa (Continued on Page 4) Noted Band Comes Here On April 23-24 For Senior Dances Will Play Here With all classes excused today students are attracted to Drake Field where the Interfraternity track meet is in sway. The meet is part of the "A" Day program which lasts all day, including polo, baseball, boxing, swimming, fencing, novelties, and ending with an "A" Club dance tonight. The track meet this morning begins at 9 o'clock and will last until 12 o'clock. Seventeen fraternities are taking part in the events which are pole vault, shot put, 120 yard low hurdles, broad jump, 100 yard dash, 220, 440, half mile, mile races, and relay. The scoring in the events is five' points for a first place, three for a second, and one for a third. The fraternity amassing the largest number of points will be awarded the Interfraternity Council track cup. Frosh Events Scheduled At intervals during .the track meet there will be novelties in which fraternity freshmen will take part. These events do not have any bearing on the awarding of the track cup. The freshmen will attempt to catch a greased pig and climb a slick pole, and enter the three-legged race and the wheelbarrow race. The winning freshmen will be awarded .a free ticket to the "A" Club dance tonight. This afternoon at 2 o'clock spectators will gather at Bullard field to witness-a polo game in which the Auburn team will don their new uniforms and meet the Freebooters from Ft. Benning, Ga. Admission to the game will be by ticket book for students, twenty-five cents for adults, and fifteen cents for children. The freshmen swimming team will (Continued on Page 4) "A" Club Dance An "A" Club dance will be held tonight at the Alumni Gymnasium between 9 o'clock and 1 o'clock. The Auburn Knights have been engaged to furnish the music for the affair. One of the crowning points of the dance will be the formal presentation of Miss "A" Day, Elizabeth Allison, to the attendants of the affair. The dance comes as the culmination of the "A" Day celebration which features numerous sports events. The dance is held annually at this time and is reputed to be one of the best "A" Club dances of the year. Several no-breaks and lead-outs will be held during the course of the evening. Tigers Begin Season With G-3's Today Game At Three-Thirty O'Clock This Afternoon Will Find Auburn In Good Condition The Auburn baseball teanKwill play its first game of the season this afternoon on Drake Field when they oppose the highly touted Goodyear G3's at 3:30. With a month of practice behind them the Auburn diamondmen are in excellent shape and expect to give the Gadsden aggregation a fine tussle. Composed mostly of veteran baseball men, the G3's are one of the strongest nines in this section of the country. Frock Pate, manager of the team, is an old Auburn man having played in the infield for the Tigers during the 1930 and 1931 seasons. "Nigger" Lewis is also an ex-horsehide chaser for Auburn having seen action from 1931 through 1932. Others on the Gadsden nine are Whitey Hayes, Zack SchUsler, and Lee Head, all of whom are outstanding men on the diamond and with firmly established reputations as top-notchers in the handling of glove and bat. Footballer* Star On Diamond On the other hand, Auburn's 1937 outfit is composed almost entirely of football players, nine out of the fourteen first-string members having seen (Continued on Page 4) GEORGE OLSEN will bring his band here to play for the final dances April 23 and 24. As Olsen ranks as one of the best orchestras ever to appear in Alumni Gym for a final set, it is expected much interest- will be centered around the dances. Southern Tour Of Colleges Includes Alabama, Sewanee, Mississippi, And Tennessee IS RATED HIGH Jack Vann, Social .Committee Member, Makes Announce-ment In Merritt's Absence Joel Eaves Is Selected Outstanding Athlete; Given Rogers Trophy Joel Eaves was unanimously awarded the Rogers Trophy for being the outstanding senior athlete for 1936- 37. The annual award is given by Foreman A. Rogers, manager of the Tiges. Theatre to the best senior athlete chosen by the^'A" Club. Eaves has participated in three of the four major sports here since his freshman year. He is No. 1 hurler on the baseball team, played end on the football team, and captain and guard on the hardwood team. Besides his athletic ability, Eaves is outstanding in campus activities being a member of Phi Kappa Phi, Scabbard and Blade, O. D. K., Spades, "A" Club, and Kappa Delta Pi. Polo Team To Play Free Booters, 2 P. M. The Auburn polo team will meet The Free Booters from Fort Benning this afternoon at 2 o'clock on Bullard field. This will be the Tigers initial tilt of the season, and is one of the principle features of "A" Day. The starting lineup against the Free Booters will be: No. 1, Herren; No. 2, Bacon; No. 3, Hurd; and No. 4, Hardie. The above men all lack «x-perience and will be greatly outclassed by their opponents. The Free Booters have a team which is rated nine goals, the whole outfit being made up of veterans. The spectators will see two of the finest mallet swingers in the south in Lieutenants Mathew and Cummings. Wednesday's game may be played on a handicap basis, Auburn getting a five or six goal handicap. The contest will start promptly at 2 o'clock and will be through in time to see the baseball game. Cars may be parked on the north side of the field and a few on the south side. Exhibition Bouts Are Planned Tonight At 7 The exhibition bouts to be presented by the' boxing team tonight in Alumni Gymnasium at 7 o'clock will mark the first time in the history of Auburn that boxing has assumed any real importance here. Since the organization of the classes in self-defense over a month ago considerable interest has been evinced by a large proportion of the student body and the students taking instruction have come along at a fast clip. Today, the majority of those who attended practices regularly are in top-notch physical shape and well versed in the handling of the leather mittens. Coach Del Morgan, being too occupied with spring football training and baseball practice, was unable to devote much time to the ringmen, so Sam Dorfman and Frank Triolo, outstanding members of last year's team, volunteered their services as instructors and did a commendable job. Eliminations held last week left Branch, Schiff, Watts, Owens, Vinson, and McGlohon to fight in the exhibition bouts tonight. Accordingly, Branch and Schiff will face each other in the 125-pound class, Watts and Owens will battle in, the 145- pound class, and Vinson will face McGlohon in the 165-pound event. In addition, Powell, Landrum, Clyde, and Sivell may be called upon to don the gloves for added events. By JAMES BUNTIN George Olsen and his Orchestra have been contracted to play for the Senior Dances, Jack Vann, acting Chairman of the Social Committee in the temporary absence of Vernon Mer-ritt, announced today. The Finals are to be held Friday and Saturday, April 23 and 24, and will include two night and three day dances. In his tour of Southern colleges, Olsen will play at Mississippi State, University of Alabama, University of Tennessee, Sewanee, 'and here. This is Olsen's first tour of Southeastern colleges. The only two other orchestras that have played at Auburn which might be included in his class are Kay Kyser and Ted Weems. Consequently, this is the most expensive band that the Social Committee has ever secured for a set of Final Dances. Full Music Career George Olsen was reared in Portland, Oregon and attended high school there. At high school he was a very busy young man. "Let George do it" seemed to have been the watch-word. Saturday was his busy day. He led the advance parade through the town to the gridiron, made a hasty return to head the second contingent to the field, directing the school band before the spectators and took a turn at cheer leading. At this point he would hurriedly don his uniform, play the game, and then, afterwards, lead the band back to town. It was a strenuous schedule, but George thrived on work and still does. He then entered the University of Michigan, reorganizing the college band, painted a broomstick with the school colors and became the first drum major in collegiate ranks.

The presentation will be made at 9:00 o'clock. The committee on award for this national recognition to be accorded Miss Cornell is composed of Mrs. Franklin D. Roosevelt, Dr. Beatrice M. Hinkle, Miss Mary Vail Andress, Mrs. Laura Gardin Frazer, Miss Elizabeth Dyer, and Miss Marjorie Nicholson, with Mrs. Mary Love Collins, executive chairman of the committee, of Cincinnati, Ohio.' Those who have received the award previously are Florence R. Sabiri, Cecilia Beaux, Alice Hamilton, Frances Perkins, and Josephine Roche.

Do Your Own Thinking With the political lines pretty well drawn for the coming campaign, politicians— deserving and undeserving— begin working for the necessary student support to put them in office. Promises are that this year the politics are going to be hotter than ever before. But this last remark is irrelevant because what year wasn't such a statement made? We concern ourselves—and hope to concern every student also—with the grave issue of faternity line-ups. Since campus politics began there have been frat "blocs"; as long as students r.un' for office there will be this condition. There is but one approach, one solution to the problem: an expression of individualism on the part of the voters. Several plans have been tried in the past; they ended in their infancy. As long as one politician can swap the votes of his fraternity brothers for another office seeker's votes, it will naturally be done. But why should any student let his frat brother tell him how to vote on a half-dozen men, some of whom he hardly knows? But it is surprising the number of students who carry a line-up list to the polls and mark the ballot accordingly. They care so little about any issue that they will not take only a few minutes to figure the answers out for themselves. If this is not the case, these voters feel the loyalty to their respective fraternities so strongly that they will allow their judgment and opinions to be buried in the fraternity's voice. Here one man—the frat's candidate— has the power and right to guide a dozen votes. And, any student who finds it necessary to "fix" line-ups for his votes, will probably throw his group in with a poor choice. There is no reason why each student should not cast his ballot according to his convictions; these choices should be made by each individual voter. Anyone allowing himself to be led in small matters, will find it hard to break the habit. Everyone can at least be his own leader. School activities should promote this leadership, not retard it. Any student with real individualism should be so disgusted with the entire situation that he would purposely vote against a man who is in any frat line-up. We firmly believe that it is a challenge to the individualism of every student. The Plainsman hopes each will make the most of it. Crime On The Wane The old adage, "you don't appreciate good health 'til you're sick", is quite applicable to the national condition in regard to crime. Today there are fewer being stricken by the disease of crime than have been for several years. In yesteryears the front pages of our newspapers were cluttered up with tragic accounts of kidnapping, bank robbing and sundry other major crimes. Today crime headlines are at a minimum; there is no daily narration of a Dillinger, Capone, Karpis, or any other underworld leader. Newsboys on the corners have resorted to political issues for their vending cries. There is a great deal less chill in reading about political events than reading of the slaying of men or the abduction of children. Perhaps this era of gangland peace may be attributable to the work of the present department of justice. Perhaps the threat of punishment in our newly enacted laws on crime has had its effect. Maybe improving business conditions have played a part. Whatever the causes may be, we should be deeply indebted for a period of underworld peace that has no equal in the past few decades. Vanishing American, II From The Florida Flambeau, pub-, lication of the Tallahassee woman's school come a very interesting editorial debasing the American male by telling how he has been driven out by the fairer sex. The subject was based on the magazine article, The Vanishing American, by Stewart H. Hol-brook. If what The Flambeau writer says in the following paragraphs is true, our stronger sex is losing its grip: Although the early American male was a resolute two-legged rugged individual who had hair on his chest and who dominated all the institutions of this country from the White House to the home, the present-day American male, according to Stewart Hol-brook in the March American Mur-cury, is a groveling, anemic, and pitiful caricature of his former self. Here and there the supine and pansy he-Americano stirs feebly, but to\ no purpose. His women have come to control his sources of income, and presently they will nominate as well as elect his public officers. They have driven him from the barber shop, the saloon, and the smoking car. They have made him shave his beard and they have taken away his brass cuspidor. Most of his daily newspaper is taken up with their doings of one kind or another. He would like to hear an all male quartet sing, "In The Baggage Car Ahead," but 'these women vote Bing Crosby the most popular singer so he gets Mr. Crosby. He yearns for male poker and -they give him mixed bridge. In his cocktail in lieu of straight whiskey he is likely to find anything from a slice of pineapple to a dab of whipped cream, vanilla flavor. Whereas he used to see a prize fight, last until one fighter was dead or done and laid out he now sees in the ring two gentlemen who, after their gentle cuffing is over, neck Hollywood cuties in the movies or commune with Shakespeare's ghost. The It Sounds OK American Association of Manufacturers proposes a very plausible relief program. This organization has conducted a survey of the nation's plant equipment and is now endeavoring to get manufacturers to replace as much of the obsolete machinery as possible, thereby creating a demand for new labor. Research figures show that over 40 per cent of the nations plant equipment is 20 years old or older. Many of these are out of date, inefficient and costly to operate. The association advocates the replacement of such machines with new ones. In the long run, the manufacturer's expenditure would be repaid in increased efficiency. Many men would be put to work. And the demand for the manufacturers produce would be increased as a result of the added spendable income among the people. The nation's investment in steam alone is estimated at five billion and valuations of generators, approximately eight billion. The magnitude of the proposed campaign is easily realized from such figures. The research men of the association estimate that the replacement of the obsolete machinery in the country would involve an expenditure of four billion dollars, a sum large enough to spell employment to 100,000 men for eight years. If American industry would cooperate in carrying out such a plan they themselves would be helped as would thousands of unemployed workers. Make A Day O f It With spring in the air and a holiday declared red flannels along with dry texts are cast aside for a real day of campus activities. We are not lucky enough to ilave many such days so it is our advice for you to get out today and help make this the best "A" celebration ever staged here. News and Views By JAMES BUNTIN The outcome of the confab between President Roosevelt and "tea buddy" Governor Graves was the latter's assuring the former that "every enemy of Roosevelt is an enemy of mine". He also told the President that Alabama was sitting on top of the world, and that from said position they were 100 per cent in favor of the court reform. Students probably have a name for such tactics, in "brown-nosing". * * * * IT'S DONE—Georgia State College for Women students tell how exams are passed: One sleeps with the book under her pillow. . . . . Another uses a pencil which has gone through three previous exams successfully. . . . . Another eats a dill pickle or a lemon before the testing Others send up offerings to the Goddess of Luck in the form of apples or other presents to the teacher. . . . . Still others (LIKE AUBURN STUDENTS) get in their room, expel all "bull-shooters", and study like the dickens. * * * * Did you know that Eleanor Powell, Ruby Keeler, and Ginger Rodgers are virtually wallflowers at dances? At least, their dates don't have to worry about duty dances with them or introducing them to all the boys. * * * * •SITTING DOWN FOR ONE'S RIGHTS doesn't seem near as ethical as standing up for them. Roosevelt regards the strikes as "economic wastes", and he may outlaw them. William Green charges that John L. Lewis is working more for self than for labor, that he is using this assumed interest for labor to gain power, and that he is trying to get in position to run for the next presidency. The labor Dictator does have ambitions, according to Green! These labor events have been unfair—unfair to loyal workers, investors, and democracy. The Wagner labor law places limits upon the workers but leave their leaders comparatively free from fetters. Thus leaving politicians and Lewis able to exploit the good nature of democracy. Maybe this little technicality was an oversight of the law makers. But law and order should be enforced. The illegal ursurpation of property rights should be stopped, so Mr. Roosevelt may need to outlaw strikes or wield some similar iron hand. * * * * Through the inferno of campus politics and pretty love affairs, it would be well to remember William Earnest Henley's "It matters not how strait the gate, How charged with punishments the scroll, I am the master of my fate, I am the captain of my soul." , * * * * KNOW A GOOD THING WHEN YOU SEE IT—10,000 have written to the Social Security Bureau in Washington, asking for various and sundry kinds of information concerning friends and others. They refuse to act as* an information bureau though; 'even the police do not have access to their records. * * * * The 840 millions expected income receipts have fallen short 100 millions. An investigation will be launched to attempt to find out just who is trying to cheat the U. S. Treasury or who is trying to get a free meal and entertainment ticket issued by the government, scene to be laid in some of our better known institutions of correction. Gutter Snipes FROM BILL TO BILL Famous words after a certain week-end— "This is my last affair", Johnnie Laumer. * + * * Where was Miss Holly last Thursday night about • ? And how about it David Odgen? Does anybody know anything? * * * * Tom McGehee and Ida Belle Young are looking at each other's eyes like dying calves since spring is in the air. * * * * Kate Crossley's Chrysler almost won Robin Russell's affectations during last week. Give the heart more car, Katherine. * * * * WE-THE-FORTY-SIX CAMERON is suspected to be losing his hold on Taylor of the Yarborough Sassity Group. Evidence was revealed the last meeting of their Get- Together-And-Do-The-Boys-Up Club. * * * * Dear Reader: Of course, things have been happening, people, more and more of them, are heading for the GUTTER and then they will be in our clutches. Just a little more time and we will give you the dope. * * * * "Chico" Silva started to Huntington Saturday night, but could get no farther than downtown Montgomery. He even lost his pals and had to return by bus (to Tuskegee). * * * * Has been noticed that "Swifty" Burton tries to keep freshmen scared away from his latest heart throb. Fisherman's Luck— A SHORT Big John slipped off his boat and ran along the waterfront to a dingy, shambled one story apartment house where he and his wife, Emmy, had lived unhappily for about a year. Big John was robust and lusty for life. Emmy was equally young and enjoyed to a full extent her desire for a world of-lancy. Things hadn't happened to suit Big John lately, when he was on fishing trips. And a fisherman's jealousy amounts to something besides hard looks. She had lied to him about having some money when he married her. "Anyhow," he growled to himself, "I hated her from the start." Reaching the apartment he turned a skeleton key in the back door and scurried noiselessly to his room. In the corner a woman lay prostrate, sleeping heavily on a unvarnished wooden bed. The dim harbor light's slanting rays fell through the shadowy window across her slight breasts. "Perfect," he thought. He'd end this reckless "mamma" once and for all who had deprived him of his meager remuneration of his fishing hauls to spend it ostensibly on other men. He poised the long fishing knife over her heart and plunged it swiftly. The woman merely grunted. He left the knife embedded in the body, unwound his handkerchief from around the hilt and retreated quickly the way he had entered. To avoid suspicion he swam back to the troller. Again on board he pulled anchor and set out immediately for the Cape. During the night he tied a weight to his handkerchief and threw it overboard to a surging breaker. He went down the hatch to his bunk and pondered over his alibi—if it became necessary to have one. The handkerchief was the only evidence; it was gone. The knife, hmm, it was only an ordinary fishing knife, thousands of 'em on the coast. Besides, he didn't want to get By Ted Carmack SHORT STORY all bloody by taking the knife with him. Reassuring himself of his perfect alibi and clean job he retired for a little rest. After a couple of weeks of pretty good fishing he tied up at London's back side fishing harbor. Fun-loving Big John sold his fish and hurried straightfoward to his favorite "dive." As usual, dredgy beer and the long-haired wenches soon had his head swaying giddily. But despite his aversions he was aware of a vague fear that crept into his throat, slowly but distinctly. He became nervously tense. The girls noticed his strange idiosyncrasy, became scared and left the table. He was now emeshed in a tangled stupor. A murder hounded his brain. He stared silently at an orchestra that was playing noisily. By moving from the table he tried physically to brush away his horrors. Grabbing one of the wenches he made a feeble attempt at dancing. A scrawny woman entered and tripped down the steps to the dance floor. A cape was drawn tight around her shoulders. She spotted Big John. Walking over slowly, she shoved the wench aside and faced him with hot brown eyes. Her face was drawn and misty from the weather. Her lips were tight and thin. "Emmy!" he gasped. His heart missed a beat as he swayed backward. Quickly she drew a thin stilleto from the folds of her cape, stabbed him and hastened out into the crowded street. She pushed through the streaming traffic and lost herself in a mob of pedestrians. Later she walked more slowly. "That stupid fish-monger," she thought, "good thing I moved out'er that room that night; he might of got me instead of that poor old lady who took the rap. Anyhow! I hated him from the start!" The End. On Our Campus By EDWIN C. GODBOLD To all old maids offended by our column in Friday's paper: with spring, you know, there comes a straying of young men's fancy, so perhaps there is hope for you yet. Luck to you, in spite of your cats. * * * * Which brings to mind the motto that Sam Gibbons says he means to place over the fire house: "May this fire department be like all old maids—always ready, but never called for." * * * * Do you feel funny? Do your eyelids feel unusually heavy? Is your fancy straying? Do you want to curl up and sleep until the semester is over? Do you want to swim and climb trees? Do your legs give way every time you spy a soft sofa or a sweet-smelling spot of sunny green grass? Do you want to drop courses? Are you listless and dreamy? * * - *^ * We know. Spring is coming. This is the time when you begin to hear the crack of the baseball against the bat and the ping of the tennis ball on the court. This is the time for writing poetry and for love. Which is worse? There will probably be a lot of class cutting, too, these first few fever days. Take those cuts now, for next year you can't, spring fever or no spring fever. We imagine professors will understand how their students feel. That is, if they ever get to class themselves. '* * * * Yes, spring with all its drowsiness and laziness is here. Ho hum, there is no reason why we just can't put our head down on the typewriter and doze a few minutes. The On Other Campuses By JOHN GODBOLD About two weeks ago a Tulane student received a letter from a representative of Stephens College, a girls' college in Missouri. The epistle stated that two hundred Stephens girls would soon be passing through New Orleans on a river boat, bound for New York. And since the girls needed entertaining, wouldn't the Tulanian gather a crowd of boys and join the girls on the boat for a big party? Obligingly the fellow garnered a throng of willing men, engaged an orchestra, and met the boat. And oh for the life of a sailor! * * * * Toledo University students are in a huddle trying to dope out the answers to the strange costumes members of the Fine Arts club wore to their surrealist ball. The garbs of the dancers supposedly represented the thoughts of their subconscious minds. The coed who carried a full bag of shoes on her head was interpreted as "the social climber" or the "elevation of a heel". All prizes went to the girl who wore a bird cage over her head, a green tennis net around her body, and carried a stuffed fish in her hand. Folks are still wondering what she was thinking. * * * * Because heavy snows have choked off the food supplies of pheasants and deer in the neighboring game refuge, St. John's University has provided feed and grit at several distributing stations in the woods. keys are getting blurred, anyway, and a smothering listlessness is coming over us. We can't write any more . . . . ho . . . . hum . . . . ho We Forty-Six By HUGH CAMERON Plainsman Forum—Voice of the Students Penalizing For "Cutting" Is No Incentive For Higher Grades, States Writer Editor, The Auburn Plainsman Dear Sir: I believe that the student body of Auburn is being a bit mistreated by the Executive Council of this institution. Its recent action on class attendance is a bit one-sided. The idea in wishing to raise the scholastic average of the school is all well and good, but let's not make it entirely compulsory. In other words, let's also have some incentive for the students to have higher averages. My idea for obtaining this result is to introduce some form of a "Dean's List". A Dean's List would tend to remedy this unpopular proposal and I propose the following suggestions for such a plan: 1. All students with an average of a given value (the exact grade to be set by the Faculty or the Executive Council) shall not be required to attend classes except to take announced quizzes or examinations. 2. AH other students will be required to attend classes just as at the present time. 3. If a student's average falls below the required average, he shall again be required to attend classes until such time that his average meets the standard set. In my opinion, students will strive to reach this average in order that they will be on the Dean's List, hence the average of the school, will be raised. As for class attendance, those who have and wishs to maintain their averages and thereby remain on the list will continue to attend all classes except when they have a just reason for cutting. As for Saturday classes, they seem to be a necessary evil. However, something should be done toward ridding the schedule of them. This is what happened to me recently, and I'm sure that it has been paralleled many times by other students. I planned to go home for the week-end but did not feel that I should cut a Saturday class. Therefore, I remained in Auburn from three o'clock Friday .afternoon (at which time I completed my scheduled classes for the day) until ten o'clock Saturday morning in order that I might make my class. What happened? At ten-fifteen the instructor had not shown up and the class took the customary "beat". If we must have Saturday classes, shouldn't the instructor be there as well as the students? I have in mind one more suggestion for making conditions at Auburn better for students and faculty, so here goes. IF we must have only 10 per cent cuts, why not have some sort of Spring Holidays? Other schools in this part of the United States have them. Why shouldn't we? Now that these thoughts have been expressed, I sincerely hope that other fellow students will see fit to voice their opinions on them. Let's have some action from all sides. Sincerely, A Loyal Auburn Student. A dance slap in the middle of the week is always a good thing for those of us who have to do missionary work among the Bap-t i s t s on Saturday night. For no matter how nice the Baptists look there is always that matter of who looked nice at the dance we didn't see. "A" Day "A'' Club dance is always the biggest "A" Club dance of the year and one of the most best. Having not been to a one this year on account of the missionary work we are most glad to be able to go to the one tonight and see what we can see. And what with all this Spring weather and things we expect to see a-plenty. * * * * And the K. C. Dance tomorrow night (today is Monday) way out in the woods promises to be the largest fraternity dance of the year and if half as good as the K. C. dance of last semester, will be about the best. This new W. P. A. hall is something we have been needing as long as we have been needing a big glass of legalized beer. It is big enough for the orchestra to get far away enough not to get fell into along about intermission. B. G. Elliott, now in Birmingham on the inspection trip, is coming back all the way down for the dance, and bringing half the inspection trip with him. And, we hear, a Birmingham blonde is a thing of beauty and a joy to behold and also hold. * * * * We are for changing all the politics around to Winter time when things are naturally dirty and massy anyway. It's awful to have all the violets and Spring lambs and things all messed up by a dirty bunch of politics. * * * * Local campus politics is a thing even Life Bouy can't help. * * * * A lynching is an awful thing but if they ever fjnd out who is responsible for that Texas school murder what else would there be to do? * * * * Jan Garber, the old Auburn man, got all the way down to Columbus and didn't get over here. For one I would have been glad to pay the "A" Club two or three dollars to hear him. We have had many improvements on the campus in the past few years, but still one we would like to see is a really big orchestra here for the final celebration on "A" Day. Garber could have probably been booked this time if someone had but looked, around. He wouldn't have gone too high for a one night stand when he is already on tour. It would have been something really big for "Miss A Day" to preside over. * * * * . If it is ever made known what orchestra is engaged for the playing for the final dances via the columns of this paper we would be glad to write something nice about him, as he has one of the long established good bands of the country, and a smile just short of Ann Dexter's, who has about the best smile of anyone we have seen.

Quinn Is State Council Mead A National Public Relations Committee of women prominent in organization work in all the states of the union has been formed to aid the National Garment Label Council in its fight against sub-standard conditions by means of the Consumers Protection Label. Mrs. I. T. Quinn of Montgomery has accepted membership on the Committee to promote the work in Alabama. Mrs. Quinn is well known in the state for her interest and participation in progressive movements. Like the other members of the newly formed Committee of the Garment Label Council, Mrs. Quinn was chosen for membership for her contribution in similar lines in her own state and nationally. Mrs. Quinn says: For several years I have been doing what I could regarding sweat shops, child labor, maximum hours and minimum wages, and am only too glad to serve on the Committee. The cause is such a vital one, women should work for it diligently." The members of the Committee will work to enlist the interest and support of -socially-minded men and women of their states in a nationwide attempt to stabilize conditions in the garment industry. Those enlisting in the cause pledge themselves to: "Buy only coats and suits bearing the Consumers Protection Label of the National Coat and Suit Industry Recovery Board, signifying that these garments have been made under wholesome working conditions and are not the product of sweatshops." "A stabilized industry has first call on the most skilled labor and it has been demonstrated that with sound management and fair trade practices the fair manufacturer can pay fair wages and still meet all reasonable competition in price to the consumer," said Mrs. Quinn. She went on to say that since 94 per cent of all the coats and suits now made in this country are manufacturer • under the voluntary code of the Recovery Board and are entitled to carry the label, the consumer will sufr fer no hardship.

Two of these moleskin wearers form one of the best batteries in the Southeastern Conference, namely^ Joel Eaves on the pitcher's mound and "Chink" Whitten behind the plate. Most of the footballers were busy during the first week or two of practice sessions because of spring football training. However, since their donning spikes much progress has been made until it appears that Auburn will be represented by a strong team this year. Les Antley, star twirler, just came out for the team last week and consequently will not see action against the Goodyear nine, not having had sufficient time to get his a^m into condition. Antley made quite a reputation for himself last summer when he played on a South Carolina nine and pitched a no-hit no-run game. Frank Hamm, who has been showing up very well on the hot corner, may be kept on the bench for the initial tilt because of a neck injury received in spring football training. His position will probably be taken over by Charles Chitty who has revealed plenty of talent on the third base post. The Morganmen will probably lineup with "Chink" Whitten catching, Joel Eaves or Tipper on the mound, Taylor or Price on the initial sack, O'Gwynne or Mason on second base, Billy Hitchock shortstop, Chitty or Hamm on the hot corner, "Speck" Kelly in left field, Captain Sid Scarborough in center, and Howell or Hayes in the right section of the garden.

His was a soft, melodious type while the vogue at that time was that of the Dixieland jazz band style. But his style was in demand. He played in several shows for Ziegfield, including "Kid Boots", "Sunny", "Who", and "Good News". Returning to California, he played for the picture productions of "Whoopee", "Happy Days", and "Follow Thru". Features Vocalist Edith Caldwell is his featured vocalist. She has appeared on many coast to coast network programs and upon the stage. Her talent is very rare in that she is capable of not only singing the most classical airs, but also has the ability to characterize, imitate, and affect dialects that are vivid and real in execution. Along with Edith Caldwell is the featured male vocalist, Lynn Cole. He lends a beautiful balance to Edith Caldwell's splendid vocal numbers. With this "New Style In Music", the "Music of Tomorrow", George Olsen and his orchestra plays a program of charm and irresistible appeal. By C. W. BELL Advertising has delivered another body-blow to the radio. Millions of radios pour into the American home not only the fallacious and. juvenile words of sales talks, • but even the prices of intestinal lubricants, yeast from the East, life preserving toothpaste, wrinkle chasers, greek letter vitamins, irony tonics, dust-proof gelatin, hip-hewers, raw roughage and much more raw nonsense. Advertising matter, away from the package, has all the freedom in the world, and particularly that which is broadcast by radio. S . The listener's ears fold-up as he thinks of the five "price-mentions" in an hour's program, to say nothing of the six minutes of sales talk. He feels certain that it is only &' matter of time until the radio salesman will step out of the loud speaker into the middle of tfte living room, price mentions, sales talk, candy laxative and all. The real significance of the trend of radio advertising is more pronounced when the 75% increase in drug revenue, far exceeding the network's average gain from all classifications, is contrasted with the unimportant 6% increase registered by drugs and toilet goods in national magazine advertising.

The sale was so designed to allow the proceeds to go into the fund for the re-decoration of the Parish House. The committees in charge are: cake, Mrs. L. E. Jacoby and Mrs. E. H. Almquist; candy, Mrs. Walter Randolph and Mrs. Hardy Johnson; cookies, Mrs. T. W. Sparrow, Jr., and Mrs. John Fain; breads, Mrs. Tom Sparrow, Sr., and Mrs. R. L. Melcher. "WINGS OVER EUROPE" WILL BE PRESENTED (Continued from Page 1) a cabinet room of so large a nation. A large mahogany table is located on the stage, extending almost from one side to the other. Around this are grouped a great number of rustic chairs. The walls are lined with bookcases containing ponderous volumes. In all there is an air of distinctiveness . and dignity. The action though necessarily starting slowly to allow the audience time to grasp the situation, builds up to tremendous heights in the second and third acts. The crisis is reached when both the actors and the audience have reached a high point of tension. Students will be admitted to the play upon presentation of their student activity books at the door. 10 ELIGIBLE FOR PUBLICATIONS POSTS (Continued from Page 1) Associated Undergraduate Students constitution adopted recently by the Student Executive Cabinet, dealing with eligibility standards, all of which will be in effect next year, is as follows: "To set eligibility standards for elective positions on publications staffs, subject to the following regulation : "(1) Ranking as a junior, with five semesters of work completed. *t(2) A scholastic average of 80 per cent or above. "(3) One year's experience on the publication on which he intends to run, or the equivalent. (Membership on staff shall be determined by the Board upon report of head of the department based upon actual work performed.) "(4) Such qualifications as the Board may prescribe. "(5) No person shall be officially connected with any publication not approved by the Board of Student Publications." Mail handled by Ohio State University campus carriers in January totaled 134,317 pieces. and 25 cents for children and high school students. Let's tune in on the "voice of health" (and by so doing maybe, postpone our funeral.) and listen to a typical sales talk which is as fluent as a victrola, as suave as sleet, and as accurate as an almanac. Hark! "—Why suffer another hour? Go to your druggist this minute and get a bottle of AL-KAQUACK or mail one dollar to this station and we will send you a bottle of this life-saver, (sic!) Physicians tell us that the majority of human ailments are caused by an over-acid condition of the body-fluids so keep your body-fluids alkaline with ALKA-QUACK. Mail your dollar today for pity's sake—(and especially for my pocketbook's sake, which he does not say.) and enjoy the perfect health, vitality and energy of vigorous youth. ALKAQUACK, by the way, is an essence of sea vegetables containing many times as much iron as liver (?), a million times as much iodine as fish Cfishy?), so keep alkaline with ALKAQUACK. ". As the oily, offensive voice that slimes the air with the above - mentioned verbal sewage fades out, there flashes into the mind the fact that human beings do not live with "fluids" in an acid condition. Maybe we should settle down and be reminiscent of that popular song of a few years ago, "No, No, A Thousand Times No.", after listening to such dolts. In all earnestness, such broadcasts impress one as the most menacing example yet encountered of the potential power of the radio for good, or for evil—thousands and thousands of true, candid, and honest scientific workers throughout the United States are striving to improve public health. Day after day and night after night they relieve untold agony, pain and suffering, most of which is the result of ignorance of healthful living conditions and environment. In the face of the physicians, pharmacists, and nurses there comes into each American home the fervid, smooth, and dramatic voice of a common layman, inducing and persuading our great citizens to t ry some mixture as a cure for lack of vitality, insomnia, "food-delay", and similar diseases, disasters, despairs and discomforts pertaining thereto! Such funereal and "Marmalady" voices should be buried in the deep pits of eternity! Which does the most good for humanity, and relieves more human agony; the physician at the bedside, the pharmacist with his dispensing, the modest unassuming scientist in his laboratory; or the pseudo-scientists and manufacturers of quack medicines backed by the self-labeled expert of an announcer???? Of course the ignorant do not see the menace, the optimists think there is nothing to it, and the governmenal authorities hesitate to dig up more "snakes". Therefore the quacks continue to advertise their worthless remedies by radio backed by the droning hill-billy barkers.

In view of the recent action of the Publications Board in qualifying four candidates for the editorship of the Plainsman, I hereby withdraw my candidacy in favor of James Buntin, and request all who favor my candidacy to support Mr. Buntin. In withdrawing in favor of Mr. Buntin I feel that I am working in the best interests of Auburn and the student body, as I intend to give my full attention to promoting his election and insuring that a capable editor is elected. Howard Workman, Co-Managing Editor Frat Baseball To Begin Soon; Schedule For 2 Leagues Made The annual interfrat baseball tournament will start Monday, March 29, Lopez Mantoux, chairman of Inter-fraternity sports, stated.

Hess Editor of the Plainsman—James Buntin, Robert Johnston, Lewis B. Thomas, and Howard Workman. Business Manager of the Plainsman —H. B. Darden and C. M. Pruet. Editor of the Glomerata—G. L. Bil-bro, and Morris Hall. Business Manager of the Glomerata —Jarvis Brown and W. E. Tanner. In making the announcement of qualified candidates, the Board stated that all aspirants for publication positions next year would be required to meet a scholastic average of 80 per cent. The scholastic requirement did not hold this year. The Board explained that its reason for adhering to this requirement in the future is that a student holding a position on either the Plainsman or the Glomerata should rank high scholastically in order to perform the strenuous work on the publications and at the same time not fail to graduate with his class. The portion of Article IV of the (Continued on Page 4) Lee County To Exceed Cripple Children Fund Prospects are that Lee County, including the City of Auburn, will exceed its quota of funds to be raised this year for the relief of crippled children, according to Dr. Paul Irvine, district director for the Alabama Crippled Children's Society. Funds raised in this county will be used to care for additional cases in Lee County and for those whose treatment was not completed last year, he explained. All funds will be matched from State and Federal agencies as was the case last year when almost $1,000 was expended for unfortunate tots in Lee County. Drive for funds is being made through civic organizations and Crippled Children Seals are available at all school buildings. They will also be sold on the streets of Auburn next Friday, he said. Treasurer for the Lee County Welfare Council is W. T. Ingram, of Auburn, who is receiving contributions this week. The drive terminates on Easter Sunday. The Auburn varsity and freshman debating teams will leave here today on a four-day tour of Georgia colleges, accompanied by Professor E. D. Hess, debating coach. The varsity members who will make the trip are George Hairston and Roy Bolen. George Hiller and Winfrey Boyd comprize the Freshman team. The Freshmen will inaugurate* the first contest of the trip when they meet the Mercer Freshmen at Macon, Georgia, Wednesday afternoon. The varsity is scheduled to debate the Mercer varsity Wednesday evening. On Thursday morning the Freshmen will oppose the first year students of the University of Georgia Night School. The rest of the day will be spent in inactivity, and Friday morning the varsity will meet the Emory University team at a convocation of students in the Tech High auditorium. Martha Berry Debated The Auburn teams will leave Atlanta Friday morning for Martha Berry School in Rome, Georgia. That afternoon the Freshmen will engage the Martha Berry Freshmen and that night the varsity teams of the two (Continued on Page 4) " Wings Over Europe" Will Be Presented Play To Be Given At 8 O'Clock Monday Night Will Be First Production Of This Semester Frosh Swimmers Meet Boys' High Tonight, 7 Auburn's freshman swimming team engages Boy's High from Atlanta at 7 o'clock tonight in the Alumni gymnasium in their initial start of the season, as part of the "A" Day program. No admission will be charged for the event. Boy's High have their usual strong outfit and will provide stiff opposition for the Auburn frosh. Last year they won over Emory and Georgia Tech and placed second in the state high school swimming meet. Auburn has the material for a very good freshman tank team this season. T. R. Long, P. G. Pease, F. 0. Haggard, P. I. Barnes, T. S. Smith, and J. S. Roberts will swim in the freestyle events. W. B. Campbell, H. E. Mohns, and R. E. Heath will represent the group in the breaststroke, and A. J. Wood will compete in the diving. This year's freshman team is captained by H. E. Mohns and is managed by T. H. Nolen. By FRANKLYN WARD As their first production of the second semester, "Wings Over Europe", a futuristic melodrama laid in the British Empire, will be presented by the Auburn Players next Monday evening at eight o'clock in Langdon Hall. This play has had good running in such cities as London, Chicago, and New York. It has been praised by some' of the country's outstanding critics, and has gained the acclamation of vast audiences, who for the past few years have witnessed the performance. The extreme novelty of the play lies in its setting and time. "Wings Over Europe" is not a mythical story of what might happen years hence, nor is it a story connected with the past; it is a story of the present. The action begins in the cabinet room at No. 10 Downing Street, the home of the Prime minister of the British Empire. Set Is Large Much labor has been put on the set to produce the dignified air befitting (Continued on Page 4) Theta Chi Is Leading Go-To-Church Contest Theta Chi is leading in the Inter-fraternity "Go-To-Church" contest at the end of the first period. The contest is sponsored by the Y. M. C. A. Much interest has been shown by the fraternities taking part in the contest. The results of the first check-up are: Theta Chi, 108; T. U. O., 86; Alpha Psi, 39; S. P. E., 29; Sigma Chi, 28; Phi Delta Theta, 26; S. A. E., 25; A. L. T., 15; Delta Sigma Phi, 13; Lambda Chi, 13; Pi K. A., 13; A. T. O., 12; Kappa Sigma, 9; Kappa Alpha, 6; Sigma Pi, 6; Sigma Nu, 5; Phi Kappa Tau, 3; Pi Kappa Phi, 1; Theta Kappa Nu, 1; and the rest of the fraternities have not reported any points. Scoring is counted according to the number of members and pledges in the fraternity attending any service of a church. Each attendance reported counts one point. The fraternity amassing the largest number on points in the month'set aside for the contest will be awarded a loving cup by the Y. M. C. A.

Delta Sigma Pi Be Represented In Atlanta Meet The local chapter of Delta Sigma Pi, international professional fraternity for business students, is planning a joint anniversary celebration with the chapters of the fraternity at Georgia Tech and University of Georgia on April 3 in Atlanta. The Kappa Chapter at Georgia Tech, the Pi Chapter # at the University of Georgia, and the Beta Lambda Chapter at Auburn, all have their anniversaries during the last week of March, so after planning by the presidents of the three chapters, it was decided to hold a joint celebration in Atlanta on Saturday, April 3. On the afternoon of April 3 the members of the fraternity will make an industrial tour through one of Atlanta's largest industries, the Atlanta Brewery. The celebration will be topped off with a dance given to the members of the fraternity by Kappa (Continued on Page 4) Noted Band Comes Here On April 23-24 For Senior Dances Will Play Here With all classes excused today students are attracted to Drake Field where the Interfraternity track meet is in sway. The meet is part of the "A" Day program which lasts all day, including polo, baseball, boxing, swimming, fencing, novelties, and ending with an "A" Club dance tonight. The track meet this morning begins at 9 o'clock and will last until 12 o'clock. Seventeen fraternities are taking part in the events which are pole vault, shot put, 120 yard low hurdles, broad jump, 100 yard dash, 220, 440, half mile, mile races, and relay. The scoring in the events is five' points for a first place, three for a second, and one for a third. The fraternity amassing the largest number of points will be awarded the Interfraternity Council track cup. Frosh Events Scheduled At intervals during .the track meet there will be novelties in which fraternity freshmen will take part. These events do not have any bearing on the awarding of the track cup. The freshmen will attempt to catch a greased pig and climb a slick pole, and enter the three-legged race and the wheelbarrow race. The winning freshmen will be awarded .a free ticket to the "A" Club dance tonight. This afternoon at 2 o'clock spectators will gather at Bullard field to witness-a polo game in which the Auburn team will don their new uniforms and meet the Freebooters from Ft. Benning, Ga. Admission to the game will be by ticket book for students, twenty-five cents for adults, and fifteen cents for children. The freshmen swimming team will (Continued on Page 4) "A" Club Dance An "A" Club dance will be held tonight at the Alumni Gymnasium between 9 o'clock and 1 o'clock. The Auburn Knights have been engaged to furnish the music for the affair. One of the crowning points of the dance will be the formal presentation of Miss "A" Day, Elizabeth Allison, to the attendants of the affair. The dance comes as the culmination of the "A" Day celebration which features numerous sports events. The dance is held annually at this time and is reputed to be one of the best "A" Club dances of the year. Several no-breaks and lead-outs will be held during the course of the evening. Tigers Begin Season With G-3's Today Game At Three-Thirty O'Clock This Afternoon Will Find Auburn In Good Condition The Auburn baseball teanKwill play its first game of the season this afternoon on Drake Field when they oppose the highly touted Goodyear G3's at 3:30. With a month of practice behind them the Auburn diamondmen are in excellent shape and expect to give the Gadsden aggregation a fine tussle. Composed mostly of veteran baseball men, the G3's are one of the strongest nines in this section of the country. Frock Pate, manager of the team, is an old Auburn man having played in the infield for the Tigers during the 1930 and 1931 seasons. "Nigger" Lewis is also an ex-horsehide chaser for Auburn having seen action from 1931 through 1932. Others on the Gadsden nine are Whitey Hayes, Zack SchUsler, and Lee Head, all of whom are outstanding men on the diamond and with firmly established reputations as top-notchers in the handling of glove and bat. Footballer* Star On Diamond On the other hand, Auburn's 1937 outfit is composed almost entirely of football players, nine out of the fourteen first-string members having seen (Continued on Page 4) GEORGE OLSEN will bring his band here to play for the final dances April 23 and 24. As Olsen ranks as one of the best orchestras ever to appear in Alumni Gym for a final set, it is expected much interest- will be centered around the dances. Southern Tour Of Colleges Includes Alabama, Sewanee, Mississippi, And Tennessee IS RATED HIGH Jack Vann, Social .Committee Member, Makes Announce-ment In Merritt's Absence Joel Eaves Is Selected Outstanding Athlete; Given Rogers Trophy Joel Eaves was unanimously awarded the Rogers Trophy for being the outstanding senior athlete for 1936- 37. The annual award is given by Foreman A. Rogers, manager of the Tiges. Theatre to the best senior athlete chosen by the^'A" Club. Eaves has participated in three of the four major sports here since his freshman year. He is No. 1 hurler on the baseball team, played end on the football team, and captain and guard on the hardwood team. Besides his athletic ability, Eaves is outstanding in campus activities being a member of Phi Kappa Phi, Scabbard and Blade, O. D. K., Spades, "A" Club, and Kappa Delta Pi. Polo Team To Play Free Booters, 2 P. M. The Auburn polo team will meet The Free Booters from Fort Benning this afternoon at 2 o'clock on Bullard field. This will be the Tigers initial tilt of the season, and is one of the principle features of "A" Day. The starting lineup against the Free Booters will be: No. 1, Herren; No. 2, Bacon; No. 3, Hurd; and No. 4, Hardie. The above men all lack «x-perience and will be greatly outclassed by their opponents. The Free Booters have a team which is rated nine goals, the whole outfit being made up of veterans. The spectators will see two of the finest mallet swingers in the south in Lieutenants Mathew and Cummings. Wednesday's game may be played on a handicap basis, Auburn getting a five or six goal handicap. The contest will start promptly at 2 o'clock and will be through in time to see the baseball game. Cars may be parked on the north side of the field and a few on the south side. Exhibition Bouts Are Planned Tonight At 7 The exhibition bouts to be presented by the' boxing team tonight in Alumni Gymnasium at 7 o'clock will mark the first time in the history of Auburn that boxing has assumed any real importance here. Since the organization of the classes in self-defense over a month ago considerable interest has been evinced by a large proportion of the student body and the students taking instruction have come along at a fast clip. Today, the majority of those who attended practices regularly are in top-notch physical shape and well versed in the handling of the leather mittens. Coach Del Morgan, being too occupied with spring football training and baseball practice, was unable to devote much time to the ringmen, so Sam Dorfman and Frank Triolo, outstanding members of last year's team, volunteered their services as instructors and did a commendable job. Eliminations held last week left Branch, Schiff, Watts, Owens, Vinson, and McGlohon to fight in the exhibition bouts tonight. Accordingly, Branch and Schiff will face each other in the 125-pound class, Watts and Owens will battle in, the 145- pound class, and Vinson will face McGlohon in the 165-pound event. In addition, Powell, Landrum, Clyde, and Sivell may be called upon to don the gloves for added events. By JAMES BUNTIN George Olsen and his Orchestra have been contracted to play for the Senior Dances, Jack Vann, acting Chairman of the Social Committee in the temporary absence of Vernon Mer-ritt, announced today. The Finals are to be held Friday and Saturday, April 23 and 24, and will include two night and three day dances. In his tour of Southern colleges, Olsen will play at Mississippi State, University of Alabama, University of Tennessee, Sewanee, 'and here. This is Olsen's first tour of Southeastern colleges. The only two other orchestras that have played at Auburn which might be included in his class are Kay Kyser and Ted Weems. Consequently, this is the most expensive band that the Social Committee has ever secured for a set of Final Dances. Full Music Career George Olsen was reared in Portland, Oregon and attended high school there. At high school he was a very busy young man. "Let George do it" seemed to have been the watch-word. Saturday was his busy day. He led the advance parade through the town to the gridiron, made a hasty return to head the second contingent to the field, directing the school band before the spectators and took a turn at cheer leading. At this point he would hurriedly don his uniform, play the game, and then, afterwards, lead the band back to town. It was a strenuous schedule, but George thrived on work and still does. He then entered the University of Michigan, reorganizing the college band, painted a broomstick with the school colors and became the first drum major in collegiate ranks.

The presentation will be made at 9:00 o'clock. The committee on award for this national recognition to be accorded Miss Cornell is composed of Mrs. Franklin D. Roosevelt, Dr. Beatrice M. Hinkle, Miss Mary Vail Andress, Mrs. Laura Gardin Frazer, Miss Elizabeth Dyer, and Miss Marjorie Nicholson, with Mrs. Mary Love Collins, executive chairman of the committee, of Cincinnati, Ohio.' Those who have received the award previously are Florence R. Sabiri, Cecilia Beaux, Alice Hamilton, Frances Perkins, and Josephine Roche.

Do Your Own Thinking With the political lines pretty well drawn for the coming campaign, politicians— deserving and undeserving— begin working for the necessary student support to put them in office. Promises are that this year the politics are going to be hotter than ever before. But this last remark is irrelevant because what year wasn't such a statement made? We concern ourselves—and hope to concern every student also—with the grave issue of faternity line-ups. Since campus politics began there have been frat "blocs"; as long as students r.un' for office there will be this condition. There is but one approach, one solution to the problem: an expression of individualism on the part of the voters. Several plans have been tried in the past; they ended in their infancy. As long as one politician can swap the votes of his fraternity brothers for another office seeker's votes, it will naturally be done. But why should any student let his frat brother tell him how to vote on a half-dozen men, some of whom he hardly knows? But it is surprising the number of students who carry a line-up list to the polls and mark the ballot accordingly. They care so little about any issue that they will not take only a few minutes to figure the answers out for themselves. If this is not the case, these voters feel the loyalty to their respective fraternities so strongly that they will allow their judgment and opinions to be buried in the fraternity's voice. Here one man—the frat's candidate— has the power and right to guide a dozen votes. And, any student who finds it necessary to "fix" line-ups for his votes, will probably throw his group in with a poor choice. There is no reason why each student should not cast his ballot according to his convictions; these choices should be made by each individual voter. Anyone allowing himself to be led in small matters, will find it hard to break the habit. Everyone can at least be his own leader. School activities should promote this leadership, not retard it. Any student with real individualism should be so disgusted with the entire situation that he would purposely vote against a man who is in any frat line-up. We firmly believe that it is a challenge to the individualism of every student. The Plainsman hopes each will make the most of it. Crime On The Wane The old adage, "you don't appreciate good health 'til you're sick", is quite applicable to the national condition in regard to crime. Today there are fewer being stricken by the disease of crime than have been for several years. In yesteryears the front pages of our newspapers were cluttered up with tragic accounts of kidnapping, bank robbing and sundry other major crimes. Today crime headlines are at a minimum; there is no daily narration of a Dillinger, Capone, Karpis, or any other underworld leader. Newsboys on the corners have resorted to political issues for their vending cries. There is a great deal less chill in reading about political events than reading of the slaying of men or the abduction of children. Perhaps this era of gangland peace may be attributable to the work of the present department of justice. Perhaps the threat of punishment in our newly enacted laws on crime has had its effect. Maybe improving business conditions have played a part. Whatever the causes may be, we should be deeply indebted for a period of underworld peace that has no equal in the past few decades. Vanishing American, II From The Florida Flambeau, pub-, lication of the Tallahassee woman's school come a very interesting editorial debasing the American male by telling how he has been driven out by the fairer sex. The subject was based on the magazine article, The Vanishing American, by Stewart H. Hol-brook. If what The Flambeau writer says in the following paragraphs is true, our stronger sex is losing its grip: Although the early American male was a resolute two-legged rugged individual who had hair on his chest and who dominated all the institutions of this country from the White House to the home, the present-day American male, according to Stewart Hol-brook in the March American Mur-cury, is a groveling, anemic, and pitiful caricature of his former self. Here and there the supine and pansy he-Americano stirs feebly, but to\ no purpose. His women have come to control his sources of income, and presently they will nominate as well as elect his public officers. They have driven him from the barber shop, the saloon, and the smoking car. They have made him shave his beard and they have taken away his brass cuspidor. Most of his daily newspaper is taken up with their doings of one kind or another. He would like to hear an all male quartet sing, "In The Baggage Car Ahead," but 'these women vote Bing Crosby the most popular singer so he gets Mr. Crosby. He yearns for male poker and -they give him mixed bridge. In his cocktail in lieu of straight whiskey he is likely to find anything from a slice of pineapple to a dab of whipped cream, vanilla flavor. Whereas he used to see a prize fight, last until one fighter was dead or done and laid out he now sees in the ring two gentlemen who, after their gentle cuffing is over, neck Hollywood cuties in the movies or commune with Shakespeare's ghost. The It Sounds OK American Association of Manufacturers proposes a very plausible relief program. This organization has conducted a survey of the nation's plant equipment and is now endeavoring to get manufacturers to replace as much of the obsolete machinery as possible, thereby creating a demand for new labor. Research figures show that over 40 per cent of the nations plant equipment is 20 years old or older. Many of these are out of date, inefficient and costly to operate. The association advocates the replacement of such machines with new ones. In the long run, the manufacturer's expenditure would be repaid in increased efficiency. Many men would be put to work. And the demand for the manufacturers produce would be increased as a result of the added spendable income among the people. The nation's investment in steam alone is estimated at five billion and valuations of generators, approximately eight billion. The magnitude of the proposed campaign is easily realized from such figures. The research men of the association estimate that the replacement of the obsolete machinery in the country would involve an expenditure of four billion dollars, a sum large enough to spell employment to 100,000 men for eight years. If American industry would cooperate in carrying out such a plan they themselves would be helped as would thousands of unemployed workers. Make A Day O f It With spring in the air and a holiday declared red flannels along with dry texts are cast aside for a real day of campus activities. We are not lucky enough to ilave many such days so it is our advice for you to get out today and help make this the best "A" celebration ever staged here. News and Views By JAMES BUNTIN The outcome of the confab between President Roosevelt and "tea buddy" Governor Graves was the latter's assuring the former that "every enemy of Roosevelt is an enemy of mine". He also told the President that Alabama was sitting on top of the world, and that from said position they were 100 per cent in favor of the court reform. Students probably have a name for such tactics, in "brown-nosing". * * * * IT'S DONE—Georgia State College for Women students tell how exams are passed: One sleeps with the book under her pillow. . . . . Another uses a pencil which has gone through three previous exams successfully. . . . . Another eats a dill pickle or a lemon before the testing Others send up offerings to the Goddess of Luck in the form of apples or other presents to the teacher. . . . . Still others (LIKE AUBURN STUDENTS) get in their room, expel all "bull-shooters", and study like the dickens. * * * * Did you know that Eleanor Powell, Ruby Keeler, and Ginger Rodgers are virtually wallflowers at dances? At least, their dates don't have to worry about duty dances with them or introducing them to all the boys. * * * * •SITTING DOWN FOR ONE'S RIGHTS doesn't seem near as ethical as standing up for them. Roosevelt regards the strikes as "economic wastes", and he may outlaw them. William Green charges that John L. Lewis is working more for self than for labor, that he is using this assumed interest for labor to gain power, and that he is trying to get in position to run for the next presidency. The labor Dictator does have ambitions, according to Green! These labor events have been unfair—unfair to loyal workers, investors, and democracy. The Wagner labor law places limits upon the workers but leave their leaders comparatively free from fetters. Thus leaving politicians and Lewis able to exploit the good nature of democracy. Maybe this little technicality was an oversight of the law makers. But law and order should be enforced. The illegal ursurpation of property rights should be stopped, so Mr. Roosevelt may need to outlaw strikes or wield some similar iron hand. * * * * Through the inferno of campus politics and pretty love affairs, it would be well to remember William Earnest Henley's "It matters not how strait the gate, How charged with punishments the scroll, I am the master of my fate, I am the captain of my soul." , * * * * KNOW A GOOD THING WHEN YOU SEE IT—10,000 have written to the Social Security Bureau in Washington, asking for various and sundry kinds of information concerning friends and others. They refuse to act as* an information bureau though; 'even the police do not have access to their records. * * * * The 840 millions expected income receipts have fallen short 100 millions. An investigation will be launched to attempt to find out just who is trying to cheat the U. S. Treasury or who is trying to get a free meal and entertainment ticket issued by the government, scene to be laid in some of our better known institutions of correction.

Fisherman's Luck— A SHORT Big John slipped off his boat and ran along the waterfront to a dingy, shambled one story apartment house where he and his wife, Emmy, had lived unhappily for about a year. Big John was robust and lusty for life. Emmy was equally young and enjoyed to a full extent her desire for a world of-lancy. Things hadn't happened to suit Big John lately, when he was on fishing trips. And a fisherman's jealousy amounts to something besides hard looks. She had lied to him about having some money when he married her. "Anyhow," he growled to himself, "I hated her from the start." Reaching the apartment he turned a skeleton key in the back door and scurried noiselessly to his room. In the corner a woman lay prostrate, sleeping heavily on a unvarnished wooden bed. The dim harbor light's slanting rays fell through the shadowy window across her slight breasts. "Perfect," he thought. He'd end this reckless "mamma" once and for all who had deprived him of his meager remuneration of his fishing hauls to spend it ostensibly on other men. He poised the long fishing knife over her heart and plunged it swiftly. The woman merely grunted. He left the knife embedded in the body, unwound his handkerchief from around the hilt and retreated quickly the way he had entered. To avoid suspicion he swam back to the troller. Again on board he pulled anchor and set out immediately for the Cape. During the night he tied a weight to his handkerchief and threw it overboard to a surging breaker. He went down the hatch to his bunk and pondered over his alibi—if it became necessary to have one. The handkerchief was the only evidence; it was gone. The knife, hmm, it was only an ordinary fishing knife, thousands of 'em on the coast. Besides, he didn't want to get By Ted Carmack SHORT STORY all bloody by taking the knife with him. Reassuring himself of his perfect alibi and clean job he retired for a little rest. After a couple of weeks of pretty good fishing he tied up at London's back side fishing harbor. Fun-loving Big John sold his fish and hurried straightfoward to his favorite "dive." As usual, dredgy beer and the long-haired wenches soon had his head swaying giddily. But despite his aversions he was aware of a vague fear that crept into his throat, slowly but distinctly. He became nervously tense. The girls noticed his strange idiosyncrasy, became scared and left the table. He was now emeshed in a tangled stupor. A murder hounded his brain. He stared silently at an orchestra that was playing noisily. By moving from the table he tried physically to brush away his horrors. Grabbing one of the wenches he made a feeble attempt at dancing. A scrawny woman entered and tripped down the steps to the dance floor. A cape was drawn tight around her shoulders. She spotted Big John. Walking over slowly, she shoved the wench aside and faced him with hot brown eyes. Her face was drawn and misty from the weather. Her lips were tight and thin. "Emmy!" he gasped. His heart missed a beat as he swayed backward. Quickly she drew a thin stilleto from the folds of her cape, stabbed him and hastened out into the crowded street. She pushed through the streaming traffic and lost herself in a mob of pedestrians. Later she walked more slowly. "That stupid fish-monger," she thought, "good thing I moved out'er that room that night; he might of got me instead of that poor old lady who took the rap. Anyhow! I hated him from the start!" The End. On Our Campus By EDWIN C. GODBOLD To all old maids offended by our column in Friday's paper: with spring, you know, there comes a straying of young men's fancy, so perhaps there is hope for you yet. Luck to you, in spite of your cats. * * * * Which brings to mind the motto that Sam Gibbons says he means to place over the fire house: "May this fire department be like all old maids—always ready, but never called for." * * * * Do you feel funny? Do your eyelids feel unusually heavy? Is your fancy straying? Do you want to curl up and sleep until the semester is over? Do you want to swim and climb trees? Do your legs give way every time you spy a soft sofa or a sweet-smelling spot of sunny green grass? Do you want to drop courses? Are you listless and dreamy? * * - *^ * We know. Spring is coming. This is the time when you begin to hear the crack of the baseball against the bat and the ping of the tennis ball on the court. This is the time for writing poetry and for love. Which is worse? There will probably be a lot of class cutting, too, these first few fever days. Take those cuts now, for next year you can't, spring fever or no spring fever. We imagine professors will understand how their students feel. That is, if they ever get to class themselves. '* * * * Yes, spring with all its drowsiness and laziness is here. Ho hum, there is no reason why we just can't put our head down on the typewriter and doze a few minutes. The On Other Campuses By JOHN GODBOLD About two weeks ago a Tulane student received a letter from a representative of Stephens College, a girls' college in Missouri. The epistle stated that two hundred Stephens girls would soon be passing through New Orleans on a river boat, bound for New York. And since the girls needed entertaining, wouldn't the Tulanian gather a crowd of boys and join the girls on the boat for a big party? Obligingly the fellow garnered a throng of willing men, engaged an orchestra, and met the boat. And oh for the life of a sailor! * * * * Toledo University students are in a huddle trying to dope out the answers to the strange costumes members of the Fine Arts club wore to their surrealist ball. The garbs of the dancers supposedly represented the thoughts of their subconscious minds. The coed who carried a full bag of shoes on her head was interpreted as "the social climber" or the "elevation of a heel". All prizes went to the girl who wore a bird cage over her head, a green tennis net around her body, and carried a stuffed fish in her hand. Folks are still wondering what she was thinking. * * * * Because heavy snows have choked off the food supplies of pheasants and deer in the neighboring game refuge, St. John's University has provided feed and grit at several distributing stations in the woods. keys are getting blurred, anyway, and a smothering listlessness is coming over us.

Its recent action on class attendance is a bit one-sided. The idea in wishing to raise the scholastic average of the school is all well and good, but let's not make it entirely compulsory. In other words, let's also have some incentive for the students to have higher averages. My idea for obtaining this result is to introduce some form of a "Dean's List". A Dean's List would tend to remedy this unpopular proposal and I propose the following suggestions for such a plan: 1. All students with an average of a given value (the exact grade to be set by the Faculty or the Executive Council) shall not be required to attend classes except to take announced quizzes or examinations. 2. AH other students will be required to attend classes just as at the present time. 3. If a student's average falls below the required average, he shall again be required to attend classes until such time that his average meets the standard set. In my opinion, students will strive to reach this average in order that they will be on the Dean's List, hence the average of the school, will be raised. As for class attendance, those who have and wishs to maintain their averages and thereby remain on the list will continue to attend all classes except when they have a just reason for cutting. As for Saturday classes, they seem to be a necessary evil. However, something should be done toward ridding the schedule of them. This is what happened to me recently, and I'm sure that it has been paralleled many times by other students. I planned to go home for the week-end but did not feel that I should cut a Saturday class. Therefore, I remained in Auburn from three o'clock Friday .afternoon (at which time I completed my scheduled classes for the day) until ten o'clock Saturday morning in order that I might make my class. What happened? At ten-fifteen the instructor had not shown up and the class took the customary "beat". If we must have Saturday classes, shouldn't the instructor be there as well as the students? I have in mind one more suggestion for making conditions at Auburn better for students and faculty, so here goes. IF we must have only 10 per cent cuts, why not have some sort of Spring Holidays? Other schools in this part of the United States have them. Why shouldn't we? Now that these thoughts have been expressed, I sincerely hope that other fellow students will see fit to voice their opinions on them. Let's have some action from all sides. Sincerely, A Loyal Auburn Student. A dance slap in the middle of the week is always a good thing for those of us who have to do missionary work among the Bap-t i s t s on Saturday night. For no matter how nice the Baptists look there is always that matter of who looked nice at the dance we didn't see. "A" Day "A'' Club dance is always the biggest "A" Club dance of the year and one of the most best. Having not been to a one this year on account of the missionary work we are most glad to be able to go to the one tonight and see what we can see. And what with all this Spring weather and things we expect to see a-plenty. * * * * And the K. C. Dance tomorrow night (today is Monday) way out in the woods promises to be the largest fraternity dance of the year and if half as good as the K. C. dance of last semester, will be about the best. This new W. P. A. hall is something we have been needing as long as we have been needing a big glass of legalized beer. It is big enough for the orchestra to get far away enough not to get fell into along about intermission. B. G. Elliott, now in Birmingham on the inspection trip, is coming back all the way down for the dance, and bringing half the inspection trip with him. And, we hear, a Birmingham blonde is a thing of beauty and a joy to behold and also hold. * * * * We are for changing all the politics around to Winter time when things are naturally dirty and massy anyway. It's awful to have all the violets and Spring lambs and things all messed up by a dirty bunch of politics. * * * * Local campus politics is a thing even Life Bouy can't help. * * * * A lynching is an awful thing but if they ever fjnd out who is responsible for that Texas school murder what else would there be to do? * * * * Jan Garber, the old Auburn man, got all the way down to Columbus and didn't get over here. For one I would have been glad to pay the "A" Club two or three dollars to hear him. We have had many improvements on the campus in the past few years, but still one we would like to see is a really big orchestra here for the final celebration on "A" Day. Garber could have probably been booked this time if someone had but looked, around. He wouldn't have gone too high for a one night stand when he is already on tour. It would have been something really big for "Miss A Day" to preside over. * * * * . If it is ever made known what orchestra is engaged for the playing for the final dances via the columns of this paper we would be glad to write something nice about him, as he has one of the long established good bands of the country, and a smile just short of Ann Dexter's, who has about the best smile of anyone we have seen.

Quinn Is State Council Mead A National Public Relations Committee of women prominent in organization work in all the states of the union has been formed to aid the National Garment Label Council in its fight against sub-standard conditions by means of the Consumers Protection Label. Mrs. I. T. Quinn of Montgomery has accepted membership on the Committee to promote the work in Alabama. Mrs. Quinn is well known in the state for her interest and participation in progressive movements. Like the other members of the newly formed Committee of the Garment Label Council, Mrs. Quinn was chosen for membership for her contribution in similar lines in her own state and nationally. Mrs. Quinn says: For several years I have been doing what I could regarding sweat shops, child labor, maximum hours and minimum wages, and am only too glad to serve on the Committee. The cause is such a vital one, women should work for it diligently." The members of the Committee will work to enlist the interest and support of -socially-minded men and women of their states in a nationwide attempt to stabilize conditions in the garment industry. Those enlisting in the cause pledge themselves to: "Buy only coats and suits bearing the Consumers Protection Label of the National Coat and Suit Industry Recovery Board, signifying that these garments have been made under wholesome working conditions and are not the product of sweatshops." "A stabilized industry has first call on the most skilled labor and it has been demonstrated that with sound management and fair trade practices the fair manufacturer can pay fair wages and still meet all reasonable competition in price to the consumer," said Mrs. Quinn. She went on to say that since 94 per cent of all the coats and suits now made in this country are manufacturer • under the voluntary code of the Recovery Board and are entitled to carry the label, the consumer will sufr fer no hardship.

Music for the dance will be furnished by the Auburn Knights. "Luckies have beenjny favorite cigarette for about 5 years. They're a light smoke that sensitive throats welcome. Of the many trends that sweep through Holly* wood, one of the longest lasting has been the preference for Luckies. I once asked a 'property' man—who supplies ciga* rettes to the actors—what the favorite is* He answered by opening up a box con* taining cigarettes. They were all Luckies,* STAR OF THE RKO RADIO PICTURE "THE WOMAN I LOVE" Aj,ri independent survey was made recently among professional men and women—lawyers, doctors, lecturers, scientists, e tc Of those who said they smoke cigarettes, more than 87% stated they personally prefer a light smoke* Miss Hopkins 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 protection of Luckies—a light smoke, free of certain harsh irritants removed by the exclusive process "It's Toasted". Luckies are gentle on the throat.

The G-3's bring with them Frock Pate, Nigger Lewis, and Jim-mie White, old Auburn players, as well as several old league players. Admission to the game will be by ticket book for students, fifty^six cents for adults, and twenty-five cents for children.

TIGERS BEGIN SEASON WITH G-3'S TODAY (Continued from Page 1) action on the gridiron last fall. Two of these moleskin wearers form one of the best batteries in the Southeastern Conference, namely^ Joel Eaves on the pitcher's mound and "Chink" Whitten behind the plate. Most of the footballers were busy during the first week or two of practice sessions because of spring football training. However, since their donning spikes much progress has been made until it appears that Auburn will be represented by a strong team this year. Les Antley, star twirler, just came out for the team last week and consequently will not see action against the Goodyear nine, not having had sufficient time to get his a^m into condition. Antley made quite a reputation for himself last summer when he played on a South Carolina nine and pitched a no-hit no-run game. Frank Hamm, who has been showing up very well on the hot corner, may be kept on the bench for the initial tilt because of a neck injury received in spring football training. His position will probably be taken over by Charles Chitty who has revealed plenty of talent on the third base post. The Morganmen will probably lineup with "Chink" Whitten catching, Joel Eaves or Tipper on the mound, Taylor or Price on the initial sack, O'Gwynne or Mason on second base, Billy Hitchock shortstop, Chitty or Hamm on the hot corner, "Speck" Kelly in left field, Captain Sid Scarborough in center, and Howell or Hayes in the right section of the garden. The Tigers will oppose the G3's on the following day also.

Approximately 100 druggists from" all parts of the state were present. Dr. L. S. Blake, pharmacy school head, presided at the opening session at 10 6'clock. Representative S. L. Toomer, widely known Auburn druggist, welcomed the visitors and S. J. Watkins, Dora, president of the Alabama Pharmaceutical Association, made the response. A paper entitled, "Retail Pharmacy Trend as Indicated by New Government Census Figures", prepared by Frank D. Delgado, of Washington, was read by Dr. Blake. Visiting druggists witnessed the review of Auburn's ROTC. cadets at 11 o'clock Tuesday morning on Bullard Field. With L. C. Lewis, of Tuske-gee, presiding, the first paper of the afternoon session was read by Pro. G. W. Hargreaves, of Auburn. H. S. Noel, Chicago, of Eli Lilly and Co., followed with an address on "The Profit Motive in the Drug Business." A symposium on "Servicing the Retail Druggist", "Tfie Sales Tax in Alabama", and "Fair Trade Legislation" was led by W. W. Walker, Birmingham, E. Roy Albright, Mobile, and N. G. Hubbard, Birmingham. Climax of Tuesday's session came with the banquet at the Baptist Church sponsored by the Auburn Pharmaceutical Society, C. W. .Bell, president, and Rho Chi, J. F. Dumas, president. Principal speaker was Dr. Robert C. Wilson, University of .Georgia pharmacy school dean. He discussed "The Obligations of Pharmacy to the State and the Obligations of the State to Pharmacy." Prof. George Hargreaves was master of ceremonies. Quackery *By Radio Quack Advertising Has Dealt Body-Blow To Radio, States Plainsman Writer NOTED BAND COMES HERE ON APRIL 23-24 FOR SENIOR DANCES (Continued from Page 1) ing college, he returned to Portland where he organized an orchestra with a new style in music. His was a soft, melodious type while the vogue at that time was that of the Dixieland jazz band style. But his style was in demand. He played in several shows for Ziegfield, including "Kid Boots", "Sunny", "Who", and "Good News". Returning to California, he played for the picture productions of "Whoopee", "Happy Days", and "Follow Thru". Features Vocalist Edith Caldwell is his featured vocalist. She has appeared on many coast to coast network programs and upon the stage. Her talent is very rare in that she is capable of not only singing the most classical airs, but also has the ability to characterize, imitate, and affect dialects that are vivid and real in execution. Along with Edith Caldwell is the featured male vocalist, Lynn Cole. He lends a beautiful balance to Edith Caldwell's splendid vocal numbers. With this "New Style In Music", the "Music of Tomorrow", George Olsen and his orchestra plays a program of charm and irresistible appeal. By C. W. BELL Advertising has delivered another body-blow to the radio. Millions of radios pour into the American home not only the fallacious and. juvenile words of sales talks, • but even the prices of intestinal lubricants, yeast from the East, life preserving toothpaste, wrinkle chasers, greek letter vitamins, irony tonics, dust-proof gelatin, hip-hewers, raw roughage and much more raw nonsense. Advertising matter, away from the package, has all the freedom in the world, and particularly that which is broadcast by radio. S . The listener's ears fold-up as he thinks of the five "price-mentions" in an hour's program, to say nothing of the six minutes of sales talk. He feels certain that it is only &' matter of time until the radio salesman will step out of the loud speaker into the middle of tfte living room, price mentions, sales talk, candy laxative and all. The real significance of the trend of radio advertising is more pronounced when the 75% increase in drug revenue, far exceeding the network's average gain from all classifications, is contrasted with the unimportant 6% increase registered by drugs and toilet goods in national magazine advertising. Easter Foods Sale To Be Held On Saturday By Episcopal Church An Easter foods sale will be held by the Wilhelmia Lazarus Guild of the Episcopal Church of Auburn at the Parish House Saturday, March 27, from 9 until 12 o'clock. The sale was so designed to allow the proceeds to go into the fund for the re-decoration of the Parish House. The committees in charge are: cake, Mrs. L. E. Jacoby and Mrs. E. H. Almquist; candy, Mrs. Walter Randolph and Mrs. Hardy Johnson; cookies, Mrs. T. W. Sparrow, Jr., and Mrs. John Fain; breads, Mrs. Tom Sparrow, Sr., and Mrs. R. L. Melcher. "WINGS OVER EUROPE" WILL BE PRESENTED (Continued from Page 1) a cabinet room of so large a nation. A large mahogany table is located on the stage, extending almost from one side to the other. Around this are grouped a great number of rustic chairs. The walls are lined with bookcases containing ponderous volumes. In all there is an air of distinctiveness . and dignity. The action though necessarily starting slowly to allow the audience time to grasp the situation, builds up to tremendous heights in the second and third acts. The crisis is reached when both the actors and the audience have reached a high point of tension. Students will be admitted to the play upon presentation of their student activity books at the door. 10 ELIGIBLE FOR PUBLICATIONS POSTS (Continued from Page 1) Associated Undergraduate Students constitution adopted recently by the Student Executive Cabinet, dealing with eligibility standards, all of which will be in effect next year, is as follows: "To set eligibility standards for elective positions on publications staffs, subject to the following regulation : "(1) Ranking as a junior, with five semesters of work completed. *t(2) A scholastic average of 80 per cent or above. "(3) One year's experience on the publication on which he intends to run, or the equivalent. (Membership on staff shall be determined by the Board upon report of head of the department based upon actual work performed.) "(4) Such qualifications as the Board may prescribe. "(5) No person shall be officially connected with any publication not approved by the Board of Student Publications." Mail handled by Ohio State University campus carriers in January totaled 134,317 pieces. and 25 cents for children and high school students. Let's tune in on the "voice of health" (and by so doing maybe, postpone our funeral.) and listen to a typical sales talk which is as fluent as a victrola, as suave as sleet, and as accurate as an almanac. Hark! "—Why suffer another hour? Go to your druggist this minute and get a bottle of AL-KAQUACK or mail one dollar to this station and we will send you a bottle of this life-saver, (sic!) Physicians tell us that the majority of human ailments are caused by an over-acid condition of the body-fluids so keep your body-fluids alkaline with ALKA-QUACK. Mail your dollar today for pity's sake—(and especially for my pocketbook's sake, which he does not say.) and enjoy the perfect health, vitality and energy of vigorous youth. ALKAQUACK, by the way, is an essence of sea vegetables containing many times as much iron as liver (?), a million times as much iodine as fish Cfishy?), so keep alkaline with ALKAQUACK. ". As the oily, offensive voice that slimes the air with the above - mentioned verbal sewage fades out, there flashes into the mind the fact that human beings do not live with "fluids" in an acid condition. Maybe we should settle down and be reminiscent of that popular song of a few years ago, "No, No, A Thousand Times No.", after listening to such dolts. In all earnestness, such broadcasts impress one as the most menacing example yet encountered of the potential power of the radio for good, or for evil—thousands and thousands of true, candid, and honest scientific workers throughout the United States are striving to improve public health. Day after day and night after night they relieve untold agony, pain and suffering, most of which is the result of ignorance of healthful living conditions and environment. In the face of the physicians, pharmacists, and nurses there comes into each American home the fervid, smooth, and dramatic voice of a common layman, inducing and persuading our great citizens to t ry some mixture as a cure for lack of vitality, insomnia, "food-delay", and similar diseases, disasters, despairs and discomforts pertaining thereto! Such funereal and "Marmalady" voices should be buried in the deep pits of eternity! Which does the most good for humanity, and relieves more human agony; the physician at the bedside, the pharmacist with his dispensing, the modest unassuming scientist in his laboratory; or the pseudo-scientists and manufacturers of quack medicines backed by the self-labeled expert of an announcer???? Of course the ignorant do not see the menace, the optimists think there is nothing to it, and the governmenal authorities hesitate to dig up more "snakes". Therefore the quacks continue to advertise their worthless remedies by radio backed by the droning hill-billy barkers.
