Frat All-Stars Are Selected

Sponsored By The School
Under English Department
ATTRACTS 300 STUDENTS
Competition To Be Held In All
Departments Of Music, Art,
English, Math, And Others
K.A. Completely Routs Terrell
House In One-Sided Contest;
All-Star Players Are Chosen
The 12th annual Spring High
School Tournament, according to Dr.
Leo Gosser, general chairman of the
committee on arrangements, will be
held here on- April 2 and 3. An even
larger crowd than that of 300 stu­dents
who gathered last year from
all parts of the State to enter the
contests sponsored by the college is
expected this year because of the ad­dition
of history and mathematics to
the number of events staged.
The staff of the English depart­ment
announce that present plans call
for competition in the fields of one-act
plays, reading, speech, writing,
journalism, music, art, spelling, typ­ing,
English, history, mathematics,
physics, chemistry, the biological
sciences, and general science. There
is a possibility also that competi­tion
in the fields of the languages,
French, Spanish, German, and Latin
will be held.
Prizes In Each Event
Prizes will be awarded to the in­dividual
winners of each event and
a special prize will be awarded by the
Auburn Plainsman to'the school pub­lishing
the best newspaper for the
year.
Complete details as to the exact
nature of the contests in each field
are not available at present but it is
believed that the competitions will
follow generally the outline of prev­ious
years.
These annual competitions are stag­ed
to create student interest in drama,
literature and the like. Those inter­ested
in entering the contests may
secure more detailed information from
Professor J. R. Rutland of the Eng
lish department of Auburn.
Edwards Named On
Post's Honor Roll
First place on the Birmingham
Post's "Honor Roll of 1936" has been
accorded Charles W. Edwards, asso
date registrar, for his work in orga­nizing
the Alabama Policy Commit­tee.
The Honor Roll is made up of
persons who have made "substantial
contribution to the material, civic
cultural and spiritual welfare of Bir­mingham
and Alabama."
The Alabama Policy Committee is
an agency which has brought together
leaders in various fields in an effort
to chart the development of the state
along progressive, social, and eco­nomic
lines.
In choosing the honor list it was
stated that the Post sought those
who have contributed during the past
year above and beyond what might
ordinarily be expected of them.
After graduation from Auburn in
1920 Mr. Edwards taught at Georgia
Military Academy and at the State
Agricultural School at Hamilton. He
received his Master of Arts degree
from Harvard in 1924. After further
graduate work there he served on the
faculty of the University of North
Carolina before coming to Auburn
during the summer session of 1925-26.
Only 13 other Alabamians were
named for the Honor Roll along with
Mr. Edwards.
Dairy Short Course
Be Held One Week
For one week, a special short-course
in Dairy Manufacturing will be held
under the direction of the Dairy De­partment.
Beginning Monday, Janu­ary
25th, the course will last through
the following Saturday. Instruction
in the various subjects offered will
be furnished by professors from the
Universities of Tennessee and Florida,
Auburn, officials of the Alabama
State Department of Chemistry, and
the Milk Control Board.
Rifle Team To Hold
Match With Benning
Before a large crowd out at Drake
Field Sunday afternoon, the K. A.'s
touch football team completly routed
the Terrell House "Ranchers" by the
score of 44 to 0 to win the school
championship. The "Ranchers" at no
time threatened the K. A.'s supremacy.
Until th'e game Sunday afternoon,
the "Ranchers" boasted a team whose
defense had been absolutely air tight
but this defense melted away before
the brilliant onslaught of K. A. passes
and trick plays. A K. A. All-Star
combination of "Bevo" Biggin to Bill
Candler, with a great deal of blocking
help from George Knight, carried
everything before them. Upon oc­casion
the "Ranchers" flashed some
very nice football and Perry Lamar
and Bruce Taylor turned in fine per­formances
for the champions of the
Independent tournament.

Basket Ball After Exams •
Immediately at the beginning of
the second semester the Fraternity
basketball bracket will be published
Many of these teams are rapidly
rounding into shape by playing games
among themselves. These games aid
each fraternity to find just who their
best men are and will enable them to
put their best team on the floor when
the tournament begins.
The Auburn rifle team will
journey to Fort Benning next
Saturday for a match with the
29th Infantry. Fifteen men will
fire in the first shoulder-to-shoulder
match of the season.
According to Captain Ehrgott,
coach of the team, the Benning
men will have the advantage of
more experience. However, he ex­pects
his men to make it a close
match. He states that most of
the members of the team have
been showing up well since the
holidays, and should be in top
form for this match.
The schedule for the later
shoulder-to-shoulder matches of
the team is U. of Alabama at
Tuscaloosa, February 13, the
Auburn match with the Southern
Conference teams, held here
March 14, and a probable trip to
Georgia Tech, Florida, and L. S.
U., late in April. Among the
postal matches to be held are the
Corps Area postals, beginning
January 30, the National
matches, beginning March 16, and
several matches with other
schools which will be arranged as
soon as other schools have sent in
their open dates.
'Cotton Ball' To Be
Staged By Textiles
Phi Psi, national honorary society
for Textile Engineers, has decided to
give a Cotton Ball. No definite date
for the event has been set as yet.
According to Jim Pike, president,
the fraternity plans to make the Ball
an annual event and one of the most
original affairs of the year. The
dance wilf be a costume affair. An
unique feature of the Ball is to be
that the hew fraternity pledges will
probably be introduced during the
course of the function.
Also discussed at the meeting were
plans for the annual open house which
is sponsored by the society. It is
hoped that this year the society can
cooperate with the Home Economics
Department and give a jointly spon­sored
style show and open house. A
date for this affair will be announced
later.
F.F.A. Enrollment Is
Now Over 100 Mark
Air Corps To
Stop Here For
One-Day Visit
Will Stage Review Late In
January Or Early In Febru­ary
For Benefit Of Cadets
The "farmer teachers", of Auburn
have reached their goal for this school
semester. At the last meeting of the
Collegiate F. F. A. this semester which
was held in Comer Hall last Tuesday
night, the total paid members reached
the 100 mark.
At the beginning of the first semes­ter
President E. M. Baker, promised
the State F. F. A. official that the
goal of the Cbllegiate F. F. A. would
be 100 members. Mr. Baker stated
that his goal for the next semester
would be for the membership of the
F. F. A. to be 125 members.
The graduating class of the Army
Air Corps Advanced Flyuig School
will visit Auburn for an over-night
stop during the latter part of Janu­ary
or the early part of February,
probably after the beginning of the
second semester. The exact date will
be announced later.
These students are completing a
one year course in flying at the Air
Corps Training School which is situ­ated
in the vicinity of San Antonio,
Texas. This flight is the extended-navigation
flight that is compulsory
for each class before graduation. The
flight will include approximately fifty
airplanes, flown by thirty-two Flying
Cadets, three student officers, and
several instructors. The squadron
will probably arrive here about noon
on the arrival date and will fly in re­view
formation for approximately
thirty minutes before landing at the
Auburn-Opelika Airport.
Seventy-Five Cadets
The present class at Kelly Field is
the smallest in many years. A normal
class consists of about seventy-five
future graduates. However, the Air
Corps plans to increase the number
of graduates to more than one hun­dred
in every class.
Individuals who are accepted for
flying training in the Air Corps are
appointed "Flying Cadets". These
Flying Cadets have special uniforms,
different from those worn by officers
and enlisted men, and are quartered
in separate barracks provided for
their use. The social and military
privileges of a potential officer are
extended to Flying Cadets.
The base pay of a cadet is $75.00
per month. His ration allowance is

Chewacla Park Dam
Is Now Completed
Water began pouring through the
spillway of the Chewacla Park dam
on Christmas Eve, the dam having
been finished and the flood gate low­ered
a week before. Other work is
progressing in the park.
A bridge is now being built across
the lake as part of the scenic drive
which winds through the woodland of
the park.
As work progresses the park with
its drive and lake in natural woods
setting is rapidly becoming ope of
the most beautiful in the State.
Mardi-Gras
Be Depicted
At Art Ball
All Scenes Connected With
Real Mardi-Gras Will Be
Prepared For Annual Affair
PLANNED FOR MARCH 13
Dean Of Women
Money For Mardi-Gras Will Go
To Finance Depleted Art Li­brary;
Be Held In W P A Hall
Mardi-gras scenes will be the theme
of the Beaux Art Ball this year it
was announced at a meeting of Scarab
this morning in the Architecture and
Allied Arts Building. Street scenes,
side shows, costumes, and everything
that is in keeping with the festival
spirit will be displayed in a galazy of
colors and characterizations.
The dance is to be held in the large
auditorium of the W. P. A. Project
village over on Ag Hill. The hall will
be decorated in the lavish spirit of
the Mardi-Gras season by students
enrolled in the Art School. It is ex­pected
that this Ball will be the most
colorful event ever held in Auburn.
Numerous amusements booths will be
maintained throughout the affair.
This building is far the largest of its
type in Auburn, so it was selected so
as to accommodate a large number of
the student body and faculty.
To Select King and Queen
Earl Murray, president of Scarab,
announced after a vote was held that
the affair will take place on Satur­day,
March 13. And some time in
the near future, the Mardi-Gras King
and Queen will be elected to head the
occasion. A local orchestra will be
employed to furnish the music.

New Home-Ec Labs
Added Because Of
S t u d e n t Increase
The School of Home Economics, be­cause
of the increased enrollment, is
to have two new laboratories in Broun
Hall.
The new foods laboratory will be
equipped with six kitchens to take
care of two girls in each kitchen. It
will occupy the room on second floor
in which Prof. Ivey had a history
class..
'There will be six sections of Foods
1 for freshman girls, four in the
new laboratories and two in the old.
Marie Kelly, Eileen Pilgrim and
Mattie S. Barber will be assistants to
Miss Dana Gatchell, teacher of foods.
The other laboratory which will be
a handicraft laboratory, will be. in
the military equipment room. There
will be only afternoon classes held
there.
Blackburn Is New
Bible Class Head
Bruce McGehee Bible Class at its
last meeting elected J. A. Blackburn
to serve as president for this year.
Other officers are W. T. Ingram,
Vice-President; James O. Hightower,
Secretary and Treasurer.
This Methodist bible class was
founded three years ago and has since
that time been popular with the young
business men of Auburn. The class
meets each Sunday morning at nine-forty-
five.
Retiring officers are G. H. Wright,
President; H. C. Pitte, Vice-Presi­dent;
E. Fort Ward, Secretary and
Treasurer.
Baker Elected New
President Of F.F.A.
E. M. Baker, Senior in Agriculture
Education, has been elected president
of the Collegiate Chapter of Future
Farmers of America. D. G. Morrow,
Charles Glasscock, L. H. Little, and
W. P. Moss were other officers named
for the coming semester.
For the past semester the Collegi­ate
Chapter has been sponsoring a
Co-Op Book Exchange on the campus.
The Exchange is still in operation and
expects to do a greater business and
render better service to the students
this next semester.
Zoe Dobbs, dean of women, is
expecting the largest number of
girls ever to attend a set of dances
here to be present at the Junior
Prom, January 28, 29, 30.
Auburn Defeats
Benning, 35-20
Auburn's basketball team handed
the Fort Benning Soldiers a decisive
defeat in Alumni Gymnasium last
Saturday night as they outscored the
Benning five 35 to 20 in a game that
was interesting throughout.
' Coach Jordan's squad took the lead
in the early part of the contest and
did not relinquish it until the final
gun, holding a 17-10 lead at half-time.
Two sophomores, two juniors, and
one senior started the game for the
Tigers and played exceptional ball
considering the fact that two of the
men were playing their first year in
varsity college competition. In addi­tion,
three of the men were occupied
with football during the early part
of the season :and were able to attend
but one week of practice , sessions.
Their floorwork, passing, guarding
and shooting was excellent and the
possibilities of their developing into
a first-rate hardwood quintet before
the close of the season are great.
Morgan, Curlee Star
Malvern Morgan, sophomore, and
Andrew Curlee, junior,-proved to be
the spearheads of the Plainsmen's
attack as they rang up 12 and 10
points respectively. Captain Joel
Eaves displayed his usual brand of
ball and directed the team from the
floor with fine judgement. O'Reilly
and Pappus, diminutive guards, show­ed
great possibilities in handling the
ball although they were not in long
enough to form any concrete opinions.
The Soldiers big guns were Chat­ham,
Mitchell, and Cofer, all of whom
kept the Tigers stepping fast in order
to keep them under control.
Coach Ralph Jordan, along, with a
picked squad, will travel to Sewanee
this week-end where they will meet
the University of the South in the

"Go-To-College" Plan
Arranged For F.F.A.'s
John E. Ivey, extension poultryman
at Auburn, has worked out a "Go-to-
College" poultry project for high
school F. F. A. boys who wish to go
to college. The purpose of the pro­gram
is to provide boys with a suf­ficient
income to pay their college ex­penses.
Over 2,000 high school students
wrote to colleges of the state last year
wanting to go to school but without
the necessary funds. Mr. Ivey has
presented his plans to the various F.
F. A. chapters and some of them have
already began putting it into practice.
The boy who is interested in the
project should begin as early in his
high school career as is practicable.
By the time he finishes high school
his flock should be built up to 300 lay­ing
hens. To replenish the flock of
layers each year 300 baby chicks will
be needed.
Feeding plans are based on raising
and mixing the feeds. Seventy-five
per cent of the feed is to be home­grown.
With the use of these feeds
and with proper care it has been found
that a profit of over $1.50 per hen
may be made each year. This amount
from 300 hens will take care of col­lege
expenses. '
Publications Group
May Use Appointive
System This Spring
Mercury Goes To 78;
Is Highest Since 1923
A record-breaking temperature
for early January of 78 degrees
was recorded by J. M. Robinson,
meteorologist, on last Monday,
January 11.
Several times it has been this
hot in January but always at the
end of the month, not during the
first two weeks. The hottest Jan­uary
day for Auburn was on the
21 of this month in 1923 when
the mercury soared up to 81.
As to rainfall during the first
seven days of this January, we
had 2.8 inches of rain according
to the local weatherman. He
also states that we had 4.27 inches
rainfall during the 11 days pre-ceeding
January.
In January, 1936, we had 12.09
inches rainfall, the average for
the past fifty-nine years being
4.62 inches. Chances are favor­able
for attaining the high record
again this year. The yearly aver­age
for the past fifty-nine years
in 52.90 inches; last year we had
66.28 inches.

Novel Theme
Planned For
Junior Prom
"Swing It, Mr. Kay" To Be
Decorations Theme; Davis,
Morton Awarded Contract
"Swing it, Mr. Kay" is the theme
of the decorations chosen by the Social
Committee for the Junior Prom. The
contract was awarded to Jimmie
Davis and -Jack Morton Monday
night.
Decorations will carry out the
"swing" atmosphere of a typical Har­lem
"hot spot". The color scheme will
be one of varied blues and whites.
Glitters will be used wherever neces­sary
and silhouettes are to be scat­tered
throughout the decorations de­picting
Harlem shines in various
dancing attitudes.
A back-drop behind the orchestra
stand is to feature a large oval trans­lucent
cloth screen with a man and
woman in silhouette "trucking" em­phasized
by varicolored lights thrown
from behind. The rest of the back
drop will be made up of panels in
blue concealing lights.
Streamlined Outlay
The entrances will depart from the
usual square box fashion in that they
will have streamlined corners. The
girls' entrance will feature a shine
boy in a dancing mood while the men's
entrance will feature two rhythm
kings leaving the floor with shaking
shoulders and hips.
The ceiling will be 'entirely new and
different from the plain cloth ceiling
of former dances. The crystal ball is
to be used directly above the orchestra
and the lines of the ceiling will radi­ate
from the ball to all corners of the
room. The ceiling will be painted in
blue designed to give a louvre effect.
All walls are to be in light blue
trimmed in dark blue with glittered
circles and silhouettes scattered

Notasulga Highway
Be Completed Soon
Completion of the Aubum-Nota-sulga
highway will give Auburn ' a
new bus line. The new line will ex­tend
from Montgomery to Auburn via
Wetumpka, Tallassee, and Notasulga.
Although a date has not been set, of­ficials
said the buses would probably
begin operating as soon as the high­way
is completed.
Bus service through Notasulga was
discontinued about three years ago
and transferred to the Auburn-Tus-kegee
highway. Auburn will now
have two lines to Montgomery, one
via Tuskegee and one via Notasulga.
Publications Committee Will
Decide Whether Or Not To
Appoint Publications Heads
CHANGE APPEARS LIKELY
Several Members Express De­sire
To See Change Before
New Heads Are Selected
A meeting of the Publications Com­mittee
will be called at an early date
to decide upon what action to take
regarding the selection of students
next Spring to fill the offices of the
school's two publications1—the Plains­man
and the Glomerate. No official
announcement has been made of the
exact date the conference is to be but
it is expected that the issue will be
brought before the committee some­time
early next week.
Auburn has always had students
elected by the Junior Class to serve
as heads of these publications. The
committee is to discuss the possibility
of appointing these heads.
Agitation for this change has been
carried on over a period of several
years but no definite action has ever
been taken. It is thought now, how­ever,
that the appointive system has
a good chance of being substituted for
the inefficient elective method.
Committee Only Voice In Matter
According to Joe Sarver, President
of the Executive Cabinet, his group
has no power over such a change and
that in his interpretation of the Con­stitution
the Publications Committee
had the sole power to make the
change, or not make it, as they saw
fit.
The Publications Committee is com­posed
of the following members: P.
0. Davis, Chairman, J. R. Rutland,
J. E. Roop, M. J. Punchess, M. T.
Fullan, Kirtley Brown, and the pres­ent
heads of the Plainsman and
Glomerate.
Several members of this group have
already voiced their approval of such
a step which, if taken, will place the
responsibility of selecting editors and
business managers upon the commit­tee.
This should tend to do away with
the majority of campus politics and
place more efficient and able stu­dents
in office.
Education Who's Who
Honors Miss Glanton
Louise P. Glanton, head of the
School of Home Economics will have
a photograph together with an ex­tended
sketch of her career in the
1937-38 edition of "Who's Who in
American Education."
Miss Glanton is a member of Phi
Kappa Phi, national honor society,
Omicron Nu, national honor society in
home-economics, Delta Dappa Gamma,
national society of successful .women
teachers. For a number of years she
has been listed in "Rus", the "Who's
Who of Rural Education".
, The Home Economics Department
of Auburn has been developed con­siderably
since 1927 when Miss Glan­ton
came to Auburn. The course is
now one of the most versatile in the
school. Many Auburn graduates in
Home Economics are now' holding
positions as dieticians, college teach­ers,
workers in agricultural extension
and many commercial workers.
Miss Glanton is very widely travel­ed
and has studied in several foreign
countries. Last year she took a round-the-
world tour and has studied the
educational system in Italy.
Huddleston Elected
A. P. C. A. President
The stockholders of the Auburn
Production Credit Association held
their annual meeting in Auburn last
week and elected W. E. Ruddleston,
of Tuskegee, President.
Reports given at the meeting indi­cate
that an increase of $53,000 in
loans to farmers had been made in
1936 over the preceding year. In
1936, $253,933 was loaned to a total
of 450 loans made to farmers.

Committee To Discuss Change
In Selecting Publications Heads
The Publications Committee plans
to meet at an early date to discuss the
feasibility of changing the system of
naming the publications heads. The
change would call for these offices
to be filled by appointment rather
than the present student election
method.
After having discussed the plan
with several student leaders, pro­spective
candidates, and faculty mem­bers,
we feel safe in saying that the
change would be welcomed and satis­factory.
Those acquainted with the
situation feel that now is the time to
take this forward step; it has been
considered for the past several years
and this is as far as it has ever gone.
The Publications Committee has
the only and final word in such a
move, the Executive Cabinet having
no direct authority in the matter. We
feel that the Committee realizes the
importance of immediate action and
will make the change before another
set of publication heads are selected.
Kidnappers Are Always
World's Biggest Cowards
There is one thing above all else
that the sad news of the Mattson kid-nap-
slaying brings to our minds: A
person who kidnaps is the world's
biggest coward. He is a coward be­cause
he has taken unfair advantage
of someone who has no method of
retaliation—who can offer no resist­ance.
He is a coward because he is
afraid of himself—afraid that he
will not be able to make an honest liv­ing
in society. He is a coward be­cause
he takes money Iftiat is not
rightfully his—a thief and a coward
are one and the same.
Life, Newest In Magazines,
Becomes One Of The Most Popular
The publishers of Life, the latest
development in the magazine world,
certainly received a favorable re­sponse
from the hundreds of thou­sands
of readers of weekly maga­zines.
The editors, realizing that
they had the possibilities of an amaz­ing
revolution in the magazine in­dustry,
were naturally optimistic
even before the first number of the
pictorial weekly was put into the
hands of its publishers; but they had
no idea that the American people
would like it as much as they do. Life
has so taken the country by storm
that its publishers, up to the time of
its sixth edition, have not been able
to furnish its readers with enough
copies.
It is ,hard to say whether Life's
readers are pleased with it because
it is easier to read, more convenient
to read; or more interesting to read
than magazines composed wholly of
printed matter. In this day of haste
it could very easily be any one of the
three or all three of these character­istics
which makes it so popular, but
its popularity might also be attribut­ed
to the novelty of the idea of giving
the world's news in pictures.
While the circulation of the present
issue is around the half million mark,
Life's publishers believe that its cir­culation
for the next two or three
weeks will-be about 675,000 copies.
The majority of those who have seen
two or three copies of the magazine
have already subscribed to it, and
those who have not seen a copy will
undoubtedly like it when they do have
opportunity to look it over.
Grandma Advertiser Buys
A Brand New Ensemble
Well, Grandma Advertiser has
come out in her new streamlined
dress. And if we may be so bold as
to say it we believe that the old lady
has too tight a fit. Of course she has
what the well dressed in her-society
are wearing, but we had just become
so accustomed to see her in a con­servative
outfit that she fairly makes
our eyes burn.
However, in Grover Hall she has a
fine escort and he will no doubt con­tinue
to show her off in the same fine
style he did before she "dyked up".
Labor Troubles Threaten
The Automotive Industry
During the past ages labor has
made great progress in the organiza­tion
and control of industry. Labor
has won a reasonable working day
and week, a reasonable wage, and
better working conditions. Today
the workers of industry face the
problem of further organization and
control of the industries which sup­port
them. They must decide whether
they should have even more control
over these industries.
Recently a leading rubber company
lost a valuable contract as a direct
result of a series of sit-down strikes.
The' demands of the workers were out
of reason at that time. Because of
the loss of this contract the company
was forced to cut production and lay
off several hundred men. At the
present, labor troubles threaten a
vast automotive industry. Further
development of this trouble will mean
the complete shut-down of this in­dustry.
True, the shut-down would
be temporary, but wouldn't labor
lose in the end? Yes, the workers
would suffer, at least temporarily,
from such a shut-down.
Despite obvious mistakes made by
labor in securing their ends the good
results have, so far, out-weighed the
bad. Labor has marched onward.
The wise course for labor to take in
the future would be one of steady, de­termined
progress, with only the rea­sonable
demands made of industry,
and a minimum use of the strike.
In Comparison With Other Countries
We Are Not So Bad Off
The relative social and economic
plight of the United States is very
favorable when you look into condi­tions
of other countries. While we
have problems of our. own, few of
them approach the seriousness of
those with which most of the great
powers are confronted.
England, a nation that has always
maintained a reputation for having a
strong government and a highly coop­erative
populus, is in a crisis between
two classes. King Edward's abdica­tion
dealt the commoners a heavy
blow, as he had concentrated on mak­ing
possible their advancement.
China and Japan, two verj^ influ­ential
countries, are again at the point
of war as a result of Japan's threat
to inhabit the Northern regions of
Manchuria. Japan has a population
problem that can only be solved by
such a resort.
Spain is enduring a crucial revolu­tion,
the outcome of which will de­termine
the future government of
that land. Since their change from
the monarchy form of rule, there has
been constant strife between two
groups seeking to gain control of the
government.
Germany and Russia are in the
hands of two radical dictators, whose
policies have gained world renown.
These men have changed the govern­mental
and economic set-ups in their
respective countries, and if their
plans are not sound, these nations will
disintegrate.
Though we have problems, they are
nothing like these. We are not
threatened by war, class revolution or
many of the things that are leading
other nations to their ruin.

Before Tomorrow
By JAMES BUNTIN
THIS TIME: A NEW NEWS COLUMN,
LEGISLATORS ACCOMPLISH LITTLE,
MATTSON, GERMANY, DANCES.
BEFORE TOMORROW, this news story
must be compiled, written, and printed for
you to peruse or rush through as the case
may be.' The WHEN, WHERE,. WHAT,
WHY, and HOW, the individual constitu­ents
of the good news stories go to make up
our story of stories.—ed.
* * * *
WHEN the legislators and other non-in­terested
parties get together at the STATE
CAPITOL to harangue and revolt over the
vital issues that are before them, it appears
as though no liquor, no new levies is the
net result of their meeting.
* * * *
WHERE the Mattson youth, who was
kidnapped about 17 days ago, was found
leaves in bold relief the fact that the coun­try
is not yet safe from the atrocities of
kidnappers. Naked, head partially crush­ed,
and flung in a shallow ditch for a tem­porary
grave explains the situation.
* * * *
WHAT German activities and denials in
relation to the Spanish situation amounts
to is that Britian holds her navy in readi­ness
for action and France begins to parade
her's as a protest and a warning to belli­gerents
in cahoots with the Spanish Rebels.
* * * *
WHY there is so little enthusiasm arous­ed
over the approaching Junior Prom
might lead one to believe that it wasn't
such a good idea after all in making a re­turn
engagement with Kay Kyser. Still one
could hardly entertain any doubt that the
Gym will be filled to a full capacity each
night, but if we only had a larger place in
which to hold our dances . . . .
* * * *
Wonder if the auditorium in the W. P.
A. Project village over on Ag Hill couldn't
be utilized for this purpose?
* * * *
While on the subject of dances and or­chestras,
the time is opportune for my ex­tending
my gratitude and commendations
to "Doc" Moseley and his Auburn Knights
for their inimitable rendition of the theme,
"Make Believe".
* * * *
HOW is recovery to return, international
strife to end, labor problems to be adjusted,
state revenues and expenditures to be ad­justed,
mid-term exams' to be passed, this
story to end BEFORE .TOMOR­ROW.

Vacation With Pay
A SHORT, SHORT STORY
By TED CARMACK
Crumbling the sheet of paper he walked
sadly out of the editor's room to his desk.
The editor had just rejected his news story.
It seemed to be a habit with him now. "The
grouch", he thought, "didn't anything ever
suit him." Two years daily grind at a
cubs salary and no vacation either. "God",
he mused, "what I would give for two
weeks off—Madge and I, at Ocean Beach."
He dismissed the thought as a stenogra­pher
summoned him back into the editor's
office.
The editor had a grim look on his face.
"Daniel", he drawled, "for the next two
weeks you try editing the story contest.
You should be well acquainted with that
stuff after your college days. Maybe that'll
click with you. If so, I'll transfer you to
the copy-desk for the serials, plus a vaca­tion."
John half-heartedly agreed and left the
office for home.
When he arrived Madge was busily en­gaged
in preparing supper. Thoughts of
her unhappiness rushed through his mind;
she never even made a whimper. God, he
was lucky to have her.
Wearily he sauntered into the room and
fell into a chair. Madge stopped work long
enough to cheer him up.
After supper she read the paper momen­tarily
and then suggested a walk for some
fresh air. The air didn't stimulate John;
his affairs were pressing heavily on his
mind.
During the next few days he worked
fervently over the many manuscripts that
poured in. At last, Friday and the de­cision.
After much deliberation between
two manuscripts the toss of a coin'decided
on a story by Myrtle Hoffman. Weary af­ter
so many hours of tedious labor he pick­ed
up the receiver and dialed the number
on the manuscript. A soft voice answered
after a moment's hesitation about the name.
Then followed a wild exclamation of joy.
Suddenly he realized; it was Madge.
"Where are you", he demanded.
"At our neighbors", she retorted breath­lessly.
"Hurry home and help me pack".
The receiver fell from his hand. Tremb­ling,
he picked up the half-grand check and
rushed madly out of the office.
"I'm coming, I'm coming", he yelled to
the baffled stenographers standing near
the door of the office.
THE END.
On Other Campuses—By The Wanderer
WISCONSIN'S WOE: University of
Wisconsin students are 'wholeheartedly sup­porting
Dr. Glenn Frank, president of their
institution, in his fight to retain his posi­tion
in the face of charges by the board of
regents of the University. About a thou­sand
students, many of them coeds, march­ed
on the state capitol and invaded the of­fice
of Governor LaFollette, who seems to
be backing the movement to oust Dr. Frank.
All the facts of the controversy are not
known to outsiders, but even if Dr. Frank
is guilty of the incompetency and all the
other charges flung at him, it is evident
that the entire affair smells of politics.
Meanwhile, the students are still striking
and hoping.
* * * *
WHOLESALE HAZING: The president
and the student body of Massachusetts In­stitute
of Technology have taken joint ac­tion
to abolish wholesale kidnapping of
freshmen. The movement was started be­cause
last year 75 frosh were forcibly taken
to the Institute's cabin on a nearby lake
and kept there overnight in chains.
* * * *
COLLEGES GO MODERN: Beginning
with second semester registration the Uni­versity
of Florida is following a new plan
under which students may register at
leisure anytime from January 21 to Febru­ary
4.
Halls of the buildings at the College of
Mount St. Joseph on the Ohio are now
equipped with ink filling stations. A penny
in the slot will release enough ink for. a
fountain pen filling.
* * * *
"SECOND-FIDDLE" CLUB: The Uni­versity
of Arizona has a "Stood-up Club"
composed of males whose girl friends have
"Stood them up" or have given a phoney
excuse for breaking a date. The policy of
the group is never to request a date from
those gals again.
* * * *
DROPPED STITCHES: The "Aid-Spain"
campaign of the College of the City of New
York is -really being taken seriously by
some of the students there. Though the
campaign has' not been very successful in
raising money, it has at least inspired one
soul. A CCNY senior—male at that—has
knitted a scarf, stockings, and gloves and
is now knitting a sweater, all to be sent to
the Madrid government.

THOSE BAD BROWN BOYS: Accord­ing
to a law passed in 1790, the sheriff of
Providence, R. I. must attend the com­mencement
procession at Brown Universi­ty.
In the old days the ceremonies were
often interrupted by some sort of brawling
and those attending lost coats, hats and
umbrellas, not to mention considerable
blood from punched noses. Today the
sheriff, arrayed in full evening dress, a
high hat, wearing a sword at his side and
a blue sash is the most distinguished look­ing
person in the highly decorous and dig­nified
procession.

KENTUCKY'S DANIEL BOONE: The
antics of college playboys become more and
more varied as time goes on. A Universi­ty
of Kentucky collegian, having nothing
else to do, walked in the Phi Delta Theta
house, picked up a twelve-guage double-barrelled
shotgun, aimed it at the clock on
the mantle and blew parts all over the
place. Reason? Unknown.

Plainsman Forum—Voice of the Students
Why Not A Resumption Of Auburn-
Alabama Athletic Relationship?
Editor, The Auburn Plainsman
Dear Sir:
All indications point to the fact that Au­burn
and the University of Alabama will
soon be ^reunited as far as athletic competi­tion
is concerned. The year, 1936, saw a
contest between fraternities of the two
schools which did much to allay the fears
of pessimists and "soreheads" who have
contended for many years that nothing but
evil would result from a meeting of the
two institutions in any form of competi­tion.
Another sign of the growing senti;
ment for resumed relations was evidenced
when it was learned that the Auburn "A"
Club will attempt to schedule a baseball
game with the University for the coming
season.
And why shouldn't the two schools be
affiliated with each other? After all, they
are sister institutions, originated, financed,
and controlled by the same governing body.
Generally a contest between two leading
state schools of the same state is regarded
as the number one attraction of the year
for that particular locality. Why should
the state of Alabama be deprived of such a
classic year in and year out?
The victory is half won. The people of
the state, the student bodies of the two
schools, and school officials have all shown
an almost unanimous desire for resumption.
At present, perhaps, the most imposing ob­stacles
in the path of the hoped for athletic
relations is a small but powerful group of
lobbyists, and otherwise, who are fighting
reconciliation most effectively even though
they have no apparent reason for doing so.
When this group is disposed of, the coveted
resumption will be at hand.
Cordially, W. S.
The devil, one day seeing no one to warn'er
Started tempting a co-ed, Miss Iris Joiner
And she, giving way to some idle whim,
To his extreme annoyance, tempted him.

Expresses Appreciation For Planned
Tennis Courts
Editor, The Auburn Plainsman
Dear Sir:
I noted, with interest, the article in a
recent issue of The Plainsman regarding
the plans of the Auburn Lion's Club Tennis
Court Committee and the ODK men.
I wish to express my appreciation for
their efforts. Although I am no Tilden, I
enjoy my tennis. I, as well as other stu­dents,
find few good tennis courts in Au­burn.
I am very glad to see an organized
effort to provide adequate number of good
courts.
From the results reported, I think the
students enjoy such entertainments as the
recent carnival. Let's have another soon.
We can enjoy the carnival and pay for ten­nis
courts at the same time. Sincerely,
L. M. SMITH.
Agrees With "C. T." In That Students Do
Not Realize What Is Ahead
Editor, The Auburn Plainsman
Dear Sir:
I agree with C. T.'s statement in a recent
issue of the Plainsman. The average un­dergraduate
does not know what lies ahead
in the outside world.
It is the failure to consider the future
that causes so many students to neglect their
studies. A diploma may get. a job, but it is
the knowledge which a man applies that
holds the job. A man who works hard in
college and makes the most of his oppor­tunities
will be better able to hold a job.
I think that every college student should
secure summer employment in his chosen
field. This actual experience would give the
student an idea of what really lies in the
future.
One of our engineering professors has a
good idea. He hopes, by the use of motion
pictures, to bring the students views of
actual engineering projects in the different
fields. The student would in this way have
an idea of what he liked most.
Sincerely, L. S.
A quart of apologies to the Workman's

"Beachnut" Merritt's picture in Benson's
of Virginia Sims, Kay Kyser et all is a bit
of ballyhoo calculated to make us go to the
dance when all of us are already going.
Virginia Sims got elected by a radio poll
as being the best looking feminine singer
on the air, and anytime any of us don't
go to see a pretty girl we are ill with the
local coffee.
The picture of Merne Bogue (Isch Ka-bibble)
in G. Meadow's local sody parlor
looks exactly like Walter Gilbert, but Bogue
is more fun than Gilbert.
Arthur Wright can still sing after two
years away from here as can be noticed by
listening to him on the air. And Sully
Mason can still do something. It ain't sing­ing,
but it sounds like something good. The
pictures hung out around town don't look a
bit like Sully for some reason or other.
Go down and take a look at him when the
band gets to town and see just how funny
he really does look.
* * * * .
The K. D. dance, as expected was about
the best of the year. And the banquet was
about the best attended in the past years.
No speeches at all, and I got to sit across
the table from Miss Auburn. Even if she
and Sarver did step all over my feet under
the table the banquet was more than good.
Best looking dresses at the affair: 1.
Louisa Taylor. 2. Miss Auburn. 3. Mary
Pearce.
And more congratulations to the Auburn
Knights and their new singer for putting
up such good music. •

Alice Faye was advertised as playing the
feature role in Sunday's show instead of
Shirley Temple. Another quick thinking
job of Railbird Robert's. And a good job
at that. Children are nice to play with at
home and talk to teddy bear's and dolls, but
when one goes to town one wants to see a
blonde . . . at least grown-ups . . . with form
and figger worth going to town to see.

P. Bag's corn popping machine is very
good, but would like to see my corn pop
like when we used to put a handful between
two fly swatters and hold the thing over
the open fire.
The stuff goes good with beer so I am
told. The worried look on Bag's face being
due to the powers that be not letting him
sell beer to go with the corn .

SOCIETY AND NEWS FEATURES
Society Editor, MARION STANLEY, Phone 305
Richa*d Duffell, Jr., has returned
from Pittsburg, Pennsylvania, where

of Theta Upsilon Omega Fraternity,
at the thirteenth Arch Convocation.
The Convocation was held Dec. 27th
and 28th in the Cathedral of Learn­ing,
at the University of Pittsburg.
Much was accomplished as all chap­ters
were represented and the Convo­cation
being one of the best in T. U.

Elmer Salter Tells
Of Trip To Havana
Elmer G. Salter, publicity director
for the Athletic Department, Tues­day,
gave the members of the Opelika
Rotary Club an account of his visit
to Havana in connection with Au­burn's
New Year's Day game with
Villanova.
He stated that the Auburn team
had made three trips out of the Unit­ed
States on their way to and from
games on the 1936 schedule. They
visited Canada on the Detroit trip,
Mexico on the Santa Clara trip, and
Cuba on the Villanova trip.
Salter said that of the 12,000 ex­pected
to attend the game at Tropical
Stadium only 6,000 attended, and they
were more interested in the fight be­tween
two players than in any spec­tacular
play in the game.
He gave interesting sidelights on the
trip including a visit to the capitol,
a round of the night clubs, a trip to
a country province, and facte about
the trip taken by the team while on
the tour.

Dr. Irvine Speaker
At Education Frat
Meet On Monday
A combination program and busi­ness
meeting was held by Kappa Del­ta
Pi, honorary education society, last
Monday night in Recreation Hall at
which Dr. Irvine was the principal
speaker. .
Dr. Irvine was introduced by Dr.
Kuderna and delivered an extremely
interesting talk on "State Curriculum
Interpretation". A great deal of in­terest
was evinced by the members,
and it was decided that the subject
should be discussed more fully at
future meetings throughout this se­mester
and next.
The society decided to meet each
second Monday night at 7 o'clock in
the Recreation Hall, this time proving
to be the most suitable to all the
members.
The female members of the organi­zation
will participate in a May Day
program sponsored by Kappa Delta
Pi and thus give some publicity to
the club.
Two committees, program and mem­bership,
were appointed with the fol­lowing
members to be on the former:
Roy A. Bolen, Miss Elizabeth Dawson,
and Von Chandler. The membership
committee consists of Malcolm Fer-gerson,
Chairman, Mary Tucker, and
Grady Randolph.

"Divine Guidance" Is
Rev. Preer's Subject
Recognition of divine guidance and
faith are important fundamentals in
one's personal formula for success in
1937 said the Rev. Carl Preer, of the
Auburn Methodist Church, in deliv­ering
the principal address Thursday
before the Rotary Club at the Thomas
Hotel. '
Reverend Preer said that he believ­ed
that the loss of confidence in one's
fellowman and a disregard of divine
guidance were basic causes of the de­pression
through which the country
has gone during the past few years.
He was optimistic concerning the in­creased
prosperity of the nation in
1937.
Visitors at the meeting were Mal­colm
Holloway, Montgomery; S. B.

DREAM GIRLS—In a nafion-wide poll of undergraduate member* of
Pi Kappa Alpha fraternity, Marsha Hunt, brunette Paramount ttarlet of
"College Holiday," won the title of "The Dream Girl of Pi K A," over
Harrietfe Haddon, blonde chorus girl in the picture, by just one vote. A
total of ten girls were in the contest. The close race run by Mitt Haddon
hat already set her definitely for teveral future pictures.
In a national poll to pick the most
ideal college girl in the cast of Para-mount's
motion picture "College Holi­day",
starring Jack Benny, Miss
Marsha Hunt was selected by the 76
chapters of Pi Kappa Alpha fra­ternity
as most nearly approximating
the college man's ideal.
Miss Hunt, a brunette, won by the
narrow margin of one vote over Miss
Harriet Haddon, a blond. Miss Hunt,
who plays the feminine lead in the
picture, will henceforth be known as
"The Dream Girl of Pi K A.", the
fraternity's sweetheart song.
Miss Haddon, a dancer in the cast,
has been signed to a long term con­tract
as a result of the vote. She was
favored by 24 chapters as against the
25 who picked Miss Hunt. The re­maining
chapters scattered their votes
between eight other girls in the cast.
The test was arranged by Harlan
Thompson, supervisor and producer
of Paramount, who is a member of
the fraternity.
Feature of the voting was the fact
that both girls found supporters in
every section of the country. Neither
north, south, middle west nor far west
showed a decided preference. It was
a close race between the blond and
brunette throughout the voting. The
Upsilon chapter voted for Miss Hunt
and received an autographed photo­graph
for their chapter room. ,
Commenting on their selection, the
Auburn chapter said: "We picked
Marsha Hunt because she's our idea
of a typical college girl; she's a bru­nette;
she seems to have personality,
friendliness, charm and poise; she's
attractive and natural. She seems to
have everything that all girls should
have—but don't."

Around
Washington
By MARVIN COX
(Associated Collegiate Press
Correspondent)
WASHINGTON, D. C—The Na­tional
Capital has a class of college
students that differs from the usual
college group in every possible man­ner.
They have no football teams
to cheer, no fraternity houses, little
social activity that makes college life
so pleasant. And they attend classes
in the evening when regular day stu­dents
are doing their library work
or going to the movies.
These scholars are. the legion of
night school students who further
their education after their day's work
has been completed. Some colleges
here have only night classes, while
others have evening sessions in addi­tion
to their day classes. Thousands
of students, most of whom wosk for
the government, attend these classes
and take courses in everything from
architecture to zoology. They pay out
their own hard-earned money for tui­tion
and books for, in most instances,
there are no checks from home. The
night students, so the teachers say,
constitute the most serious and sin­cere
group of students that they ever
taught.
Law is the most popular course and
each year hundreds of law graduates
are turned out by the various schools
and the percentage of night students
who pass the District bar exam com­pares
favorably with that of the regu­lar
day students who have no job that
works them eight hours a day.
Many of the students are young
men and women, but numbers of them
are middle-aged and some are de­finitely
among the "elders".
The twelve or more instructors ac­companying
this training flight will
be glad to give additional information
regarding the school to all interested
persons. Circulars will be available at
the office of the P. M. S. T. for dis­tribution
at an early date.
Your correspondent interviewed a
number of students in attendance at
one of the Capital's largest night law
schools, National University. This
school, incidentally, produced a Cabi­net
member in each of the past two
Administrations, Secretary of War
Hurley in the Hoover Administration
and Secretary of Commerce Roper in
the Roosevelt Cabinet.
The first student interviewed was a
married woman who has two children.
She is a Civil Service employee of the
government and says that she never
will attempt the practice of law. Her
reason for attending law school is her
belief that she will because of a law
degree secure promotion more quickly
in the department where she works.
A second student is a young man
who attended a university in the mid­west.
He had three years of academic
work, but before he could enter
law school the depression reduced his
family's income to the vanishing point.
He landed a job with _ a Governmnt
agency and enrolled in night law
school. As soon as he completes his
course, he will return to his home and
enter the practice of law.
i Another student interviewed looked
to be about 55 years old. He stated
that he found law "interesting" and
attended law school merely as a hobby.
He is a Government employee soon to
be retired and will not become a
practicing attorney. ,
One student is a T-Man, one of the
Treasury Department's band of in­vestigators.
He hopes to increase his
efficiency by studying law, and there­by
secure promotion. A knowledge of
criminal law, he declared, is of great
help in assuring conviction of the
criminals he captures. He attends
classes with a .38 revolver holstered
on his hip, it being a requirement of
his job that he always be in readiness
for duty.
Advanced economics, languages, ac­counting,
statistics, short story writ­ing:
the night scholars in Washing
study them all, and each evening along
the three lined avenues of the Capi­tal
may be seen the army of students
hurrying to class.
DOG FOOD STUDIED
BY NUTRITIONISTS
Canned Food Of Twenty-Five
Leading Brands Are Used;
Rats Being Used In Tests
By G. L. EDWARDS
A new project, dealing with a study
of dog foods, has been added to the
experimental work of the Animal Nu­trition
Department, according to W.
D. Salmon, head of the department
and supervisor of the project.
Dr. Carl J. Koehn is in charge of
the new project, which is divided into
two phases, "A Study of Canned Dog
Foods", and "Developing Improved
Formulas Which Can be Used in Pre­paring
Home Mixed Dog Rations".
Rats are being used to test the
nutritive value of about 25 brands of
dog foods, in order to develop a stand­ard,
which can be set up by the State
Department of Agriculture and In­dustries
for the purpose of acquiring
conformity in canned dog foods.
The second phase of this project,
which has not yet begun, will be con­ducted
with Fox Hounds, Female
hounds will be bought and pups raised
to get a uniform number of dogs for
the experiment. Fifteen lots of four
dogs each will be used.
Results Are Obtained
Biological tests are being conduct­ed,
as chemical analysis are not al­ways
a true index of the nutritive
value of a feed. Results already ob­tained
from brands of dog foods test­ed
show that the feeds having the best
chemical analysis gave the poorest re­sults.
Canned dog food represents the
largest volume of single canned goods
in this country. It has been estimated
that $95,400,000 is being spent yearly
in this country for commercial dog
feeds, some of which are good and
some are practically worthless. There
has been very little research done with
canned dog foods, and there are no
established standards, consequently,
anything from garbage to good meat
has been canned and sold as dog food.
GEORGIA TECH NAVAL ARMORY
PREPARES CADETS FOR SERVICE
Donated Engineering School By U. S. Government; Is Complete
As Any Present Day Warship Being Equipped With Tor­pedoes,
Anti-Aircraft Guns, And Modern Signal Methods
By WALLACE OWEN
Georgia Tech's new naval armory
is so equipped as to provide training
for cadets that will fit them to serve
as competent officers in Uncle Sam's
navy in case of war.
Donated to the Engineering School
by the U. S. Goverment, the armory
is as complete in detail as any super-dreadnaught
afloat. It provides ample
facilities for training cadets to navi­gate,
plot courses, operate broadside
and anti-aircraft guns, fire torpedoes,
transmit messages by semaphore and
wireless, and since all apparatus and
parts of this "dry land ship" are
logically arranged, the cadets find
themselves readily familiar with a
ship when they go to sea.
200 Take Training
Only 200 students are allowed to
take naval training at Tech, those be­ing
students who consent to go on the
midshipmen cruise provided for in the
course. The naval officers attached
to the school say that by limiting the
number of cadets in naval science,
they are able to give each student
personal instruction.
Drills are held in the armory at
night and are precisely the same as
those held on a ship at sea. The senior
cadets are in charge of various divis­ions
of the ship; the Cadet Captain
being the Commanding Officer of the
ship, and the Cadet Commander, the
Executive Officer. In order that the
cadets may know immediately what
to do aboard ship when the occasion
arises, thorough drills in collisions,
abandoning ship, and man over board
are held.
The armory, situated at the North
end of Grant Field, Tech's football
stadium, was built by WPA workers,
who are building a new auditorium
which is to be completed by the middle
of the coming semester.
There are five commissioned naval

From April 1, 1935 to March 1,
1936, 136,000,000 pounds of dog food
was prepared in federally inspected
plants, which constitutes about thirty
brands of canned dog food. In addi­tion,
200 brands were prepared in
plants that were not inspected, which
makes it necessary for some kind of
