All Plans Are Progressing On
Event As Definite Date Is
Finally Settled By Groups
PROGRAM GIVEN FREE
18-Inch, Loving Cup, Prize To
Be Awarded, Ordered And
Will Be Placed On Display
Wednesday, May 12, has been de­finitely
set as the date for the Fra­ternity
Spring Ringing. Several
changes have been made in the date
due to unforseen difficulties, but the
Blue Key-O. D. K. Arrangements
Committee made it clear that this date
would be final.
It is encouraging for those in
charge to note that only a small ma­jority
of the fraternities which start­ed
in the program have dropped out.
Indications are that at least 12 groups
will present clubs one week from next
Wednesday.
Plans Progressing
The plans necessary to stage this
large event have been progressing ra­pidly
and by opening time arrange­ments
wilL have been complete to seat
2000 spectators in the properly lighted
amphitheatre. Telfair Peet, Players
director, has agreed to be in charge of
stage and lighjting effects and bleach­ers
are to be erected around the large
amphitheatre.
Programs, which will be distributed
free, are being made up now and will
carry the program in its entirity. For
this purpose all fraternities are urg­ed
to send in the names of all singers,
signifying the director. Also the op
tional number and fraternity song
should be given. These must be in the
Plainsman office by next Tuesday at
noon or it will not be possible to in
elude them in the program.
The program is to be presented free
•of all charge to students, townspeople,
and any out-of-town visitors.
Lawrence Barnett, Glee Club head,
who is aiding with the program, will
be glad to visit any club in need of
advice if he is asked to do so.
The 18-inch loving cup has been or­dered
and is to be on display in Bur­ton's
Book Store before the concert.
This award will be a permanent one.
Chief G. F. Hawkins
May Leave Auburn
Chief G. F. Hawkins of the Auburn
Police department plans to leave the
City to take over duties as Foreman
with the Central of Georgia Railroad.
He was once an employee of that
company.
Chief Hawkins is a finger print ex­pert.
He has served on federal as­signments
and has had six years ex­perience
in police and detective, be­sides
having had extensive experience
in practical work. He attended the
police school at Columbus, Georgia.
Due to his extensive training and to
his natural capability, he was able to
solve many murders and burglaries.
The chief is also an" expert with
firearms, an important phase in the
life of a law enforcement officer. He
won second place in a rifle and pistol
competition in which there were po­lice
officer entries of Phoenix City,
Columbus, Georgia, and military po­lice
of Fort Bennirig.
Chief Hawkins had to say in rela­tion
to his leaving the Police Depart­ment
of Auburn, "I have never lived
in a town that I liked any better than
Auburn and the work has been very
pleasant'."
80 Ag Juniors Leave
On Inspection Trip
80 Juniors of the School of Agricul­ture
left early this morning on a soils
inspection trip over the state. They
are travelling by way of two buses
and will make consistent stops all
along the road through the duration
of their trip to make soil inspections
Their tour will begin here and will
continue along the way through Syla-cauga,
Birmingham, where they will
spend the Friday night at the Red-mont
Hotel, Montgomery, and Selma
Dr. G. D. Scarseth, associate profes­sor
of soils, who is in charge of the
inspection trip, says that there are
more than a hundred different kinds
of soils in Alabama.
It is the purpose of this trip to make
an extensive study of these different
soils, and, for that reason, the trip
will be broken up at various points
along the route to stop and make in­vestigations
and studies. The group
will return late Saturday afternoon.
Call an Is Appointed

John A. C. Callan, professor of civil
engineering at the Alabama Polytech­nic
Institute since 1918, has been ap­pointed
to serve on the research com­mittee
of the American Concrete In­stitute.
Purpose of the commitee, it was ex­plained,
is to bring about an affilia­tion
of the interests in the concrete
research field. The committee will re­view
and correlate research in concrete
and reinforced concrete and consider
research methods and objectives.
Notification of Prof. Callan's ap­pointment

Pennant Hopes Are Tied On
2-Game Series With Yellow
Jackets Today And Saturday
7 LOOP VICTORIES
Tech Beaten By Tigers 3-2 In
Atlanta Will Be Out For
Revenge; Games At 3 P.M.
Because of inclement weather
conditions the baseball game be­tween
Auburn and Georgia Tech
for today will hot be played.
The two teams will meet in a
double-header tomorrow.
Seeking the Southeastern Confer­ence
baseball pennant, Coach Dell
Morgan's Tigers will face the Georgia
Tech's Yellow Jackets on Drake Field
in Auburn Friday and Saturday in
their final loop engagements of the
season. Both of Auburn's tilts with
the Engineers will start at 3 o'clock.
The Bengals are leading the field
in the league race with seven loop
victories in as many tests, having de
feated Georgia, Georgia Tech and
Florida. Tech was nosed out in At
lanta in a ninth inning rally, 3-2.
Out For 13th Win
The Plainsmen will be after their
thirteenth consecutive victory when
they tie up with the Tech Engineers
Friday afternoon. Only two clubs,
the Goodyear G3's and Troy Teachers,
have downed Auburn in 18 games this
season.
The rival hurlers in the 3-2 battle
in Atlanta, Joel Eaves and Dub Ja­cobs,
are slated to tie up again at Au­burn
in the opening engagement.
Eaves, the ace of the Tiger's staff,
yielded only three hits to the Engi­neers
in triumphing on "Joel Eaves
Day" in Atlanta and Jacobs was rap­ped
for only seven safeties.
Rivals on the firing* line Saturday
will be Dick Swindle, the old reliable,
and Carl Waits, Tech's veteran chunk-er.
Harry Appleby will wear the mask
for the Engineers and Norman Whit-ten
will do the receiving for Auburn.
Coach Morgan will hold John Paul
Tipper and Lester Antley for reserve
duty for the Bengal Tigers.

vital in character building and so eag­erly
adopted by their daughters."
May Day Celebration
Tomorrow Night, 7:30
Dr. Lang Delivers Scholarly Address
At Omicron Delta Kappa Initiation
Dr. George Lang, professor of phi­losophy
at the University of Ala­bama,
told members of Omicron Delta
Kappa at their initiation ceremonies
that the problem now facing our
American civilization is "to reconcile
liberty with organization".
That is. to say, he explained, "to
save liberty from the tyranny of im­pulse,
organization from the tyranny
of power—bofcli of which have tyran­ny
inherent in them."
Dr. Lang's scholarly address was
delivered at the annual banquet stag­ed
at the Methodist Church after 12
prominent Auburn students, one facul­ty
member, and two distinguished hon­orary
members had been initiated in­to
O. D. K. at the President's office.
Honorary members are Grover Hall,
brilliant editor of the Montgomery
Advertiser, and Jessie B. Hearin, New
Orleans, president of the Production
Credit Corp. Prof. Ralph B. Draugh-on,
executive secretary of the college,
was the faculty member taken into O.
D. K.
Responsibilities Sounded Out
"This honorary fraternity means
leadership in times of change, re-ex­amination
of conditions and principles
in a new world df scientific creation,"
said Dr. Lang.. . . "Our responsibility
as leaders is plain. We must reaffirm
faith in, and the values of, democra­cy
. . . This re-affirmatipn will re­store
zeal for the freedom of speech,
press, etc., to the end -that organiza­tion
and liberty will be kept in close
touch with each other. ..•. .
Responsibility of Science
"The college man while maintaining
liberty will approve the worth of or­ganization
for a large and complex
world. Hence he will accept and pro­mote
the disciplines of law and order;
for he may wake up too late to what
is lost. Because he accepts organiza­tion
as necessary, he will promote it;
but by contributing his knowledge,
skills, and wisdom. . . .' I t is the fault
of business that it is no better repre­sented
at Washington. . . . It is the
responsibility of science today to keep
liberty in government as in other or­ganizations.
"Another responsibility of the col­lege
man is to rededicate learning to
public welfare. . . . His motto should
be "iearning for leadership so that
there may be liberty under law scien
tifically informed and defined." ,

New Feature
Is Originated
By Gerakitis
"Campus Personalities" To Be
New Feature Run In College
Papers Over Entire Country
This .issue of the Plainsman will be­gin
a new national collegiate feature,
"Campus Personalities"^ George T.
Gerakitis, sophomore from .Atlanta,
Georgia, is the originator of this
unique idea. "Campus Personalities"
appears on page three.
Gerakitis has had years of exper­ience
in the field of advertising, and
after two years association with col­lege
students and college life proposed
this new feature.
Devised Plan Is Given
The plan for this publication calls
for the newspapers of some two hun­dred
colleges to supply photographs
of three of their most outstanding
"Campus Personalities." From the
selection of photographs, 15 to 18 pic­tures
will be taken at random and
characterized into a weekly feature
that will give national publicity to the
school, and the social and honorary
societies.
James Voulgaris, a nationally
known artist, has been engaged to
draw the appropriate scenery and
characterizations. At the present
Voulgaris is putting the finishing
touches on murals in Houston, Texas.
"College Personalities" will be
sponsored in one of three ways:
through a national advertiser, through
local sponsors in the various publica­tions,
or by direct syndication.

Although there is less than a week
remaining in the interfraternity base­ball
race, there are still more than
a dozen games to be pJayed by the
various greeks. In order that an
accurate list of league standings may
be compiled, it is requested that each
fraternity turn in a complete record
of their wins and losses to this office
not later than Thursday, May 4.

By SON THOMAS
Reviving a custom which was dis­continued
ten years ago, the Women's
Student Government of Auburn will
present a May Day Festival at the
W. P. A. amphitheater tomorrow
night at 7:30 P. M. The program,
lasting about one hour, consists of a
number of group dances and acts de­picting
Mother Goose nursery rhymes.
The participants in the festival have
been practicing arduously for the past-several
weeks on the program and are
now ready to put on one of .the most
interesting shows seen in Auburn for
some time.
Dryden Baughman has had com­plete
supervision of all the direction
for this festival.
The Auburn Players are in complete
charge of make-up and lighting ef­fects.
According to Arthur Elsberry,
newly elected president of the players,
a number of unique lighting systems
have been incorporated into the pro­gram.
A great deal of new lighting
equipment, bought especially for this
occasion, is being arranged to give
the maximum of novelty in "follow
spots" and diffusions of all colors.
Crowned By Dr. Duncan
The festival will be ruled over by
Virginia Hubbard, who will be crown­ed
Queen of May by Doctor L. N.
Duncan during the program. Miss
Hubbard is an attractive and popular
Senior in the school of Home Eco­nomics..
Molly Brasfield, a Junior in
the Art school, has been selected as the
Queen's Maid of honor. Miss Bras-field
w*5 honored with the title, "Miss
Auburn" during the earlier part of .
this school year. The Queen's court
will consist of Elizabeth Allison, Mar­tha
Keith, Albena Pierce, Louise Cara­way,
Netty Murphey, June Tooker,
Suzelle Hare, Jean Campbell, and
Marie Hodges.
Two feature acte which are expect­ed
to be a source of much amusement
to the audience are dramatizations by
"Jitters" Lewis and Floyd Pugh. Miss
Lewis will depict the antics of the
famous Mother Goose character, "The
Crooked Man", and Miss Pugh will
dramatize the equally famous "Hobby
Horse". Libba Hunt, talented young
dancer, will be featured in several
solo dances depicting the coming of
Spring.
This project of the Women's Stu­dent
Government is ample evidence of
the- fact that Auburn is growing more
and more towards the class of regular
co-educationalism. Heretofore, there
has been little interest shown in girl's
activities due to the comparatively
small number of women students here.
However, within recent years, the
number of women students has shown
a rapid increase. According to those
in charge of the festival, the affair is
a natural result of the rapidly in­creasing
need for girl's activities on
the campus, and it is hoped that the
festival will be continued as an an­nual
feature in the future. No ad­mission
will be charged.
Glomerata
I Pat Plumlee, business man­ager
of the Glomerata, stated
this morning that the yearbooks
would be delivered next Wed­nesday
at the Power House from
8 A. M. until 5 P. M.
Only one day will be given
over to delivering the books.
Any student or group delin­quent
in paying for panel
pictures will not "receive Glom-eratas
until the bills are settled.
These bills may be paid this
week at the Glomerata office or
Plumlee may be reached at the'
Pi K. A. house and given the
sum due.

The Coronation
Fortunate indeed will be the throng
of admirers attending the forthcom­ing
coronation ceremonies that will
make George VI the thirty-ninth king
of England.
Never in the history of England
has there been such planning and
preparation for any peace-time event.
AH" Britian is engaged in a hustle-bustle
period of last minute work.
Dressmakers, tailors, artists and
the hundreds of other specialists that
play a part in the preparation are
toiling extra hours, trying to fill the
orders of coronation-crazed custo­mers.
New trades have sprung up
over night, and model sculptors,
woodcarvers and similar craftsmen
have filled England's idle shops with
the sonorious clatter of tinkling tools.
Every conceivable type of novelty
has been created and sundry emblems
emblazoned thereon to commemorate
the crowning of George VI. Portable
stilts, special glasses and extension
kodaks are only a few of the accomo­dating
devices that have been produc­ed
to add comfort to spectators who
wish to see the parades in their en­tirety.
.The anticipated coronation has
been a strong industrial stimulus to
the whole British Empire and has put
many machines and men back to
work. It has inspired a huge de­mand
for crown-day memoirs, and
the nation's current demand is much
J n contrast to that of her normal one.
Books And Examinations
Emanating as it does from the Uni­versity
of Chicago, the plan for an
open book method of examination
does not cause any great surprise.
The action is in line with other liberal
plans originated under Dr. Hutchins,
Chicago's youthful president. V
Under this system of examination,
to be given a trial in a humanities
course final, students will have re­course
to their text-books. Superfici­ally,
a student might think such a
final a snap, but as the instructor
points out, a book will be of little use
in finding an important fact during
a short, examination period if the stu­dent
does not really know his subject.
Old-school, pedantic demagogues of
learning will undoubtedly call the plan
ridiculous. They will riot, however,
be taking into consideration a funda­mental
fact which higher educators
should have learned long ago—that in
a vast number of courses, the essential
principles are about all that is retain­ed
by the student; important details
are remembered only through con­stant
practical association with them.
The conditions under which a stu­dent
works at college should be as
much like those he will encounter in
practice as possible. A lawyer does
not prepare his arguments from
memory, a doctor does not write
every prescription without consulting
a book, nor do the persuasive speakers
draft their orations without reference
to documents. They know the broad
aspects of a situation; they know the
related material. With the aid of a
book during'an examination, courses
would become something more than
a tit-tat-toe training in memory. In­stead
of cramming for a final, the
student could familiarize himself
with the major principles of his sub­ject.
It is conceivable that in doing
this, he would benefit more than if
he attempted to make his mind a
walking thesaurus of knowledge for
one day and night.
Sing, Fools, Sing
Life was made tolerable, yes, even
worth living, for the poor animals
confined in the zoo (beg pardon,
Smith Hall to those poor unfortun­ates
uninformed) the other- night
when they were serenaded in grand
style by those wandering, gay, night­life
seekers. It is reported that the
young gallants would sing a number,
then in recompensation, the inmates
of the zoo would respond in a most
melodious and seductive manner. A
touching scene it must have been!
Auburn has .long been noted for its
various vocal talents—from the hog-calling
styled "War Eagle" to the deli­cately
trained voices of the travelling
and some-times-stay-at-home Glee
Club. So strong has been the call of
the vocal varieties that a fraternity
spring singing has been organized.
Before long, the typical Auburn man
may be characterized in the form of
a lone pup, out on a bright moon-light
night, gazing up at the moon, wailing
out his plaintive voice to the world
and its four or fiye winds in hopes
that the voice will be carried to some
lonely heart who may also have a
song in her heart and lusty lungs in
her breast. It is entirely possible that
we might be able to strike up an a-greement
with Montevallo or Hunt­ingdon
on such a score.
Thus we have our hardy Auburn
engineers and farmers. It must be
an established fact from the above
particulars and their actions of late
that they are of the Romantic Type.
Some subscribe to the belief that the
bearded, cussed, overalls-wearer of
Auburn might fit in such a category.
But what would the old fellows say?
There seems to be no alternative
but to let the boys go ahead and sing,
yodel, holler, and cuss their heads off.
They intend to be an expressive bunch
with their mouths. More power to
such organizations as the lone wolf
howling order, the Glee Club, the
Spring Fever Singers, and the Sere­nades
in the Night.
Professors Debt To The Student
"One of the most significant differ­ences
of modern education theory, as
contrasted with that underlying earl­ier
practices, is the subtle change in
the conception of the relationship be­tween
the student and his preceptor.
Picture how crushingly the youth
would have been answered who, in
a time previous to this, hinted that
his teacher owed him a debt of learn­ing.
It may be that our assertions
will be considered similarly presump­tions
even in this enlightened day
and on this singularly liberal Campus,
but past treatment has encouraged us
to assume the demeanor of the up­start.
So taking advantage of the new
conception we launch ourselves into
what may prove a most tempestuous
sea.
"If knowledge and culture is a gift
from "the gods that everyone in en­titled
to possess, are not those who
are entrusted with this ambrosia re­sponsible
for its fair distribution? Is
not the professor, who serves as the
common disperser of his science in
duty bound to see that each and every
intended recipient be made aware of
the value of the gift imparted? If so,
is the dry-as-dust pedagogue fulfill­ing
his trust by boring students with
monotonous intonations of hackneyed
phrases, even though in doing so he
is covering the required ground? Is
he not robbing the cradle of the fresh­ness
of the apple whose succulence he
himself has sucked? He is, we impas-sionedly
cry, and he should be classed
with the most degraded and contemp­tible
of the parasites.
"All knowledge must originally
have been interesting, otherwise who
would have taken the trouble to have
gleaned it in the beginning? Yet we'
are all witnesses of the fact that there
is a great deal that tires us. In be­tween
somewhere the flavor has been
lost. Who has stolen it? The thief is
the deadly professor, the academic
pedant who mechanically mouths in
flat tones the inspiring facts given
flaming life by keener minds. He in­variably
is the type of professor who
acts with condescension to the stu­dent,
who hypocritically plays the role
of a thrower of pearls, and who writes
profound theses on what in the world
is the younger generation coming to.
He is the menace. He is the indebted
one. And the student is the person of
whose simplicity advantage has been
taken.—The Columbia Spebtator.

THE Y E L L O W PERIL. AGAIN
THREATENS AMERICA. But this time
the peril is embodied in that rich substance,
gold, instead of Chinese. The United States
has well over one-half of the entire world's
supply of gold. Because of the high prices
offered by this country, it has been flowing
in from all,parts of the world for several
years. Now a panacea is looming before
the financial administrators; that is, unless
this flow is checked. It is evident that the
outcome of such a huge collection of ~the
metal would result in inflation. And infla­tion
is usually the fore-runner of a depres­sion.
Congressman Fish of New York will
present his bill which will provide for the
lowering of the price paid per ounce, which
is now at that high figure of twenty-five
dollars.

LIQUOR NEXT MONDAY OR SOME­WHERE
NEAR THAT DATE. It has been
reported that the state liquor stores in
Montgomery will be opened soon. Of course,
it is only a matter of time before all those
counties that voted to repeal their prohibi­tion
laws will be opening their stores toithe
public. From many quarters have come dis­sension
because of the fact there are to be
none of the old time saloons. Much of the
glamor and romance is taken out of the
picture when tinted in this modern method
of distributing the various brands of stimu­lants.
In line with this procedure, it is ob-.
vious that many professionals will not be
able to qualify as constitutents of the new
set-up. And so the cry goes up, "Remember
the good old days when the bartender had
a hanging curl, the strong arm men knew
the best manner of bouncing, the barfly
practiced his honourable duties, the enter­tainers
(females) knew seductions as an
art, and the liquor was hard and flowed
free". Now we will have to contend with
the civilized practices.

Benefits of Military Training
Plainsman Writer Cites Advantages Of ROTC Training .To Individual;
Makes One Better Fit Mentally, Physically, Morally For Work
Later In Life, Also Dicipline, Personality Are Stressed
By L. E. FOSTER, JR.
Few of us realize the personal bene­fits
that are derived from college mili­tary
training. Frequently you hear
students complaining about having to
take the ROTC course for two years,
but if they only realized the practica­bility
of the whole course, their atti­tudes
would be greatly changed.
Much of the work in ROTC is con­gruent
to that of the actual profes­sional
world, and the, training you get
here is directly applicable to the busi­ness
world. This course gives instruc­tion
along several lines that are badly
needed, and in general, makes one bet­ter
fit, physically, mentally and
morally, for professional work.
The military student first learns
the military type of organization,
which is one of the basic systems of
modern management. This system,
with one head and branching subordi­nates,
is one of the strongest types of
industrial management, and a- good
knowledge of it and its practicable ap­plication
is an asset of value to any­one.
Discipline, in its most rational
form, is taught students. They learn
to regard their superiors with high
respect and learn to work under them.
Such raspy remarks as "get your eyes
off the ground" or "pull your stum-mick
in", are rather distasteful to us
now when they come from the mouths
of a lieutenant or sergeant, but this
is all good training. You will appre­ciate
this experience when you have
to work under some high-strung em­ployer
who is continually criticising
you in your work and is forever and
eternally shouting at you about some­thing
you have done.
_ The reward of rank inspires the
cadet to strive to outdo his fellow
classmen. He works to try and get
one of the high positions and in so do­ing
he experiences the type of com­petition
that exists among profes­sional
men the world over. He learns
that the only way to outdo another is
to outwork him.
The personality of the military stu­dent
is improved through the fellow­ship
and spirit of cooperation that
exists in this work. Also, his personal
appearance is often boosted through
the lessons of neatness that are so
rigidly taught.
All of these things are -far more
important than the average student
deems them to be; many do not even
consider military training from the
viewpoint of its practicability and use
in later life. ROTC is usually thought
of as a means of maintaining pre­paredness
in the country, but it is far
more than that. Its true merit lies in
the personal benefits it yields to the
, student.

In the past it has always been the clock-watching
student who has been warned
about his studies. Now the student who
doesn't watch the clock is being warned. If
you become so engrossed in writing a paper
or doing any kind of scholastic work that
you skip meals and never glance at a time­piece,
then you may be headed for one of
two places—geniusdom or a padded cell. So
says a member of the psychology depart­ment
of the University of Chicago. It is a
well-known fact, the psychologist explains,
that there is little difference between a
genius and an insane person. Both have
great powers of intense concentration on a
single subject. But a genius can think of
other things when he tries; an insane per­son
cannot. So cheer up; the bright student

On Our Campus
By EDWIN C. GODBOLD
For half of a college generation we have
worked on this paper, and have in that time
had ample opportunity to read student
newspapers from other schools. We have
noted a rather deplorable tendency on the
part of the Montevallo Maidens to engage'
in a little mud-slinging in their newspaper
columns in the direction of Auburn, par­ticularly
on the point of our being country
boys who attend a cow college. Plainsman
editors of the past generation have told us
that it was so in their day.
* * * *
We have for a long time felt that the
Monevallo Maidens were laboring under
misapprehensions regarding Auburn and
have wanted to set them right.
* * * *
In the first place, we fail to see how the
fact that agricultural courses are offered .at
Auburn gives the impression that Auburn
men are uncouth rustics. The educating of
young people who want to be farmers has
always been and probably will always be
one of the purposes of this institution. So
far as we know, Auburn men do not feel
that any stigma is attached to them because
they attend an institution that includes ag­riculture
in its curriculum.
* * * *
Certainly agriculture itself needs no
special plea. The oldest Chinese folk-song
that has come down to us sang in 2500 B. C.
of the glory of the farmer's toil:
When the sun rises, I go to work;
When the sun goes down, I take my rest;
I dig the well from which I drink;
I farm the soil that yields my food.
I share creation; kings do no more.
Washington was a farmer and once re­marked
about the vocation: "Agriculture is
the most healthful, the most useful, and the
most noble employment of man."
* * * *
Those who deride the study of agriculture
simply exhibit their narrowness of outlook
and their specific need of a liberal educa­tion.
Just why, we wonder, is agriculture
supposed to be an inferior calling? Is it
because the farmer works with his hands
as well as his head and that often his hands
become soiled? Is anyone, then, who works
with his hands to be looked down upon? If
so, let it be remembered that artists, music­ians,
surgeons, mothers, yes, even writers,
at times have soiled hands.
* * * *
Or perhaps this implied inferiority of ag­riculture
arises from the belief that there is
nothing in either the study or practice of
the science to challenge the best in an intel­ligent
man. We believe such a notion could
be quickly corrected by a doubter taking a
course or two in the School of Agriculture
here.
* * * *
In closing, we wish to call attention to
Huxley's definition of one who is truly edu­cated:
One "whose mind is stored with the
knowledge of the great and fundamental
truths of nature and of the laws of her
operations; one who, no stunted ascetic, is
full of life and fire, but whose passions are
trained to come to heel by a vigorous will,
the servant of a tender conscience; who has
learned to love all beauty, whether of nature
or art, to hate all vileness, and to respect
others: as himself."
Glad to hear that Workman and his cute
appendix are getting along more betterer,
and if he will just let it be known how is
the nurse situation
down there we will

can get in the

The Wind Mill is
going to get painted.
. . . a new Spring coat

it is to be and all in the prettiest color.
* * * *
The thing is to be all painted up like a
Springtime co-ed, and perhaps the beer will
be soon served in striped cans with tassels
on the end.
* * * *
A new stadium is mentioned at the alumni
meeting in Montgomery the other night. If
all the money that is spent on beer around

the direction of a stadium, the thing could
have been built two years ago. But, ain't
it good?

Hutsell's proteges will clash with
Florida's track and field aggregation
on Drake Field in Auburn Saturday
afternoon at 2 o'clock in what promises
to be a close and hard fought affair.
An interesting sidelight of this meet
is that it will bring together pupil and
teacher. Percy Beard, mentor of the
Gators,- is the leading all-around
trackster ever developed by Coach
Hutsell at Auburn and assisted Hut-sell
in his duties last year.
Both Auburn and Florida have
tackled the Georgia Bulldogs this sea­son
and both were vanquished, 77-49.
The Bengals were victorious over Bir­mingham-
Southern last Saturday by
the count of 82% to 43 %. Only Geor­gia
Tech, who will be met here on
May 8,,and the conference carnival in
Birmingham on May 14 and 15 re­main

ter the Gators are encountered.
Florida has several outstanding
members on their squad this season,
notably Errol Mestrezat in the dis
tances, Billy Richardson in the
hurdles, Harold Stevenson in the pole
vault, Ben McGahey in the sprints,
Bill Frates in the 440, Duke Warren
in the shot and discus and Ed Wil­liamson
in the two-mile.
To match "Florida's fine array of
cinderman, Coach Hutsell likely will
depend largely upon Captain Wilton
Kilgore in the 440 and 220, Charlie

Local High To Make
Curriculum Changes
Lee County High School has re­cently
been selected by the South­ern
Association of High Schools and
Colleges as one of three high schools
in the state of Alabama to be given
the opportunity to make desirable
changes in its curriculum.
The faculty of Auburn High has
announced that it plans to make no
drastic changes in the curriculum
under the new arrangement. The
same courses will be taught, but sub­ject
matter fields will be enriched by
the addition of supplementary ma­terial
and improved methods of in­struction.
There are about 1200 accredited
high schools and 80 A-Grade col­leges
in the Southern Association.
Three high schools in each of the
eleven southern states represented
in the association were given the
new privileges in curriculum develop­ment.
It is believed that the selec­tion
of Auburn High School is a rec­ognition
of the excellence of the in­struction
being offered in the school,
the calibre of its faculty, and the
modern library and laboratory facil­ities
which it provides.

CONTRIBUTIONS TO HISTORY
BY AUBURN MEN RECALLED
Three Tablets Placed At Old Homes Of Yancey, Lane, And
Broun In Ceremony; Colonel T. D. Samford, Of Opelika,
Delivers Short Address At Unveiling Of Bronze Markers
The brilliant contributions to south
em history of three famous men who
once lived in Auburn were recalled
here this week as bronze tablets were
formally unveiled with elaborate exer.
cises arranged by the local Admiral
Semmes Chapter of the United
Daughters of the Confederacy.
The tablets had been placed on the
former homes in Auburn of William
L. Yancey, famous southern orator
and statesman of his day; General
James H. Lane, distinguished Con­federate
soldier and personal friend of
Stonewall Jackson; and Dr. William
LeRoy Broun, former president of
Auburn and pioneer in the then new
technical education.
"William L. Yancey is the greatest
orator America has ever produced,"
said Col. T. D. Samford, of Opelika,
in delivering a short address at the
unveiling of the tablet where Yancey
once lived and which is now occupied
by Dr. Cecil Yarbrough, Mayor of
Auburn. "Many historians", added
Colonel Samford, "regard Yancy as
perhaps the greatest orator of all
times."
The brilliant career of this eloquent
speaker was graphically recalled by
Colonel Samford. In addition to a re­markable
career in the Alabama legis­lature
and later in the House of Rep­resentatives
in Washington—where
one of his most famous speeches was
made during the term of Andrew
Jackson upon the question of admis­sion
of Texas into the Union—Col.
Samford said that Yancy was a hand­some
man of medium stature and that
his speaking voice was the finest of
his time.
"General Lane took part in the first
battle of the War Between the States
at Bethel", said Dr. George Petrie,
head professor of history and grad­uate
school dean and son-in-law of
General Lane, in delivering the ad-

dress at the unveiling of the tablet
which now marks the home where the
'famous Southerner lived in Auburn.
The home is now occupied by the
General's daughter, Miss Kate Lane.
"Educated at Virginia Military In­stitute,"
continued Dr. Petria, "Gen­eral
Lane came under influence of
Stonewall Jackson, and retained for
him and for that institution a devotion
that knew no end". General Lane was
wounded three times and won his
military title for gallantry in action.
His proudest possessions were letters
of commendation from General Lee
and from President Jefferson Davis.
With these there was always in his
mind the precious recollection that he
had the confidence and the approval
of Stonewall Jackson." For twenty-five
years General Lane was a mem­ber
of the faculty of the Alabama
Polytechnic Institute.
"Dr. Broun was a pioneer in the
development of technical education,"
said Dr. John J. Wilmore, engineering
school dean at Auburn, in delivering
the address at the exercises of the un­veiling
of the tablet which marks the
forme* home of Dr. Broun. The home
is now known as Hornsby Hall. "He
established the first Manual Training
course, and the first course in Elec­trical
Engineering in the South, and
he had a remarkable insight and
breadth of view of the proper func­tion
of the Land Grant Colfege in our
educational system. Quoting his own
words 'To secure the valuable educa­tive
power in manuel training, the
prime object must be the education of
the boy, and not the character of the
work done, the instruction of the
class, and not the construction of "the
material. When presented in this
form it cultivates the faculties of ob­servation
and invention, trains the
hand to skill and accuracy in execu7
tion, develops-executive ability, im­parts
habits of industry, gives self-reliance
with the sense of increased
power, and thus trains not the hand
only, but the brain and the charac­ter."

Mrs. B. B. Ross presided at the ex­ercises
where music in the form of old
Southern tunes was furnished by the
Auburn Band and that of the Lee
County High School, with Frank
Grubbs and Lawrence Barnett, res­pectively,

H&randt Woodward
Has Done A Swell Job Of Captaining And Coaching
Auburn Swimming Team This Year
Brandt Woodward of Birmingham
may have my mascot (Donald'Duck),
because he not only captains but also
coaches the A. P. I. swimming team.
"We have plenty of good material if
they'd do some conscientious training
Auburn needs a regular coach for
swimming. The boys would work
harder, although we did improve
over last year's record", w£s his com1
ment.
Aquatic sports are Brandt's favor­ite
hobby. He told me of his exper­ience
at Camp Carolina in Brevard,
N. C, the largest of the ten Red
Cross training camps. "Boy, it was
swell! We had training in waterfront
duty, surfboards, and sailboats. Of
course we were trained in life saving
and canoeing. Did you ever try to
shoot a canoe through rapids"—he had
that far-away look—"don't try it
with a girl"—it slipped over with force
lent from some vivid recollection.
"They're never sure which way they
want to go".
There must have been something in
my attitude at this remark that
brought him almost apologetically out
of his reveries. "I think Wright's
Mill will be a nice place for swimming
when the spring rains are over", he
hastily began. "Swimming is healtH"-
ful recreation for young and old. It's

Feature of the first of the unveil-ings
was the presentation of the U. D.
C. cross to A. D. Lipscomb by Mrs.
Herman D. Jones, president of the
Alabama Division, and Mrs. Ralph B.
Draughon, president of the local

especially, good to keep college stu­dents
in condition when they don't
have time for much athletic activity".
"What do you think of the prospects
of a girls' swimming team", I parried,
not forgetting his thrust at the "fair­er"
sex. "We have the swimmers", he
replied, "but the old question of facili­ties
and deficient equipment makes it
really impossible at present".
I pugnaciously clung ix> the subject
of Co-eds by getting his attitude to­ward
the women on the campus. "We
can't get along with them. College
broadens-their insight. They should
bear in mind, however, that while
they can have a good time, they're
here for an education and should keep
out of campus politics.
Our conversation modulated and we
found ourselves on the subject of
courses and careers. Brandt will
graduate in Chemical Engineering
this spring, his primary interest being
in metallurgy and mining, particu­larly
the operation of the blast fur­nace.
"After four years of general
work I'm just at the point where I'd
like to do some intensive specializing
in one field. Geology and mineralogy
have been my favorite courses. I
dread being cooped up somewhere. I
like to be outdoors. That's what I
like about the Alpha Phi Omega frat
here. As you know it's a Scout frat
and- carries the principles of character
building and leadership into college.
We take hikes and camping trips and
help with the local Scout troop. The
Auburn chapter has great possibili­ties?.
Brandt also belongs to the Tau Beta
Pi honorary Engineering society and
the Phi Lambda Upsilon, honorary
Chemical organization.
The clock struck eleven as we medi­tated
on the "Auburn Spirit". "I
don't know whether it's because of the
increased enrollment, or preoccupation
with Spring, but people are not speak­ing
as spontaneously as they did four
years ago".
As he started for the drill field,
another gray uniform shouted "Let's
go to drill, Brandt", and two "Auburn
Spirits" viisappeared.

New York, N. Y.—(ACP)—Jean
Pierre Le Mee, the 19-year-old French
student sent to the United States by
his government to make a survey of
social life in American colleges is "too
lovely for French students."
Le Mee expresses amazement that
American students have such a good
time. If the college life in the United
States were suddenly transplanted to
my country, he said, the students
there "wouldn't think of working."
As it is a t present, life for them is all
"work, work, work."
Le Mee's inspection tour began on
September 21. He first visited five
colleges on the West coast. En route
to the East, he dropped in at the Uni­versity
of Chicago. In the East he
visited Columbia University, New
York University, Temple University,
the University of Pennsylvania, Bryn
Mawr, Princeton, and Harvard.
In reference to the five football
games he saw, Le Mee said: "At first
I thought they were all crazy playing
such a game. All those boys ready to
kill each other and the man whistling
all the time. The shouting and the
singing were the only things I liked.
But by the fifth time I began to see
how marvelous the game was mathe­matically."
He cited the difference he observed
in the universities of the West and
East coasts. "The students don't work
very hard in the West. All they
could talk about was politics and
sports. Everything was parties—
singing parties, bridge parties, danc­ing
parties, radio parties, and week­end
parties. The University of Cali­fornia
at Los Angeles is very near
Hollywood, and all the girls there
seemed to think of going into the
movies instead of working."
Lee Mee declared that the East was
different. He said that the girls at
Bryn Mawr didn't "shout" and stu­dents
really worked. Columbia and
New York Universities held little in­terest
for him because they were too
much like "what we have in Paris."
They did not have the campus life that
seemed to be almost everywhere else,
he said.
He stated that students at French
universities live alone and seldom get
to know one another. In the United
States students even get to know some
6f their professors, he remarked,
something that is impossible in France
without the proper introduction.
Le Mee, in his report to the French
ministry of education, is going to re­commend
six American features for
adoption in French universities: play­ing
fields, fraternities and clubs, large
dining rooms, good reproductions of
great works of a r t in college buildings,
and university theatres, magazines,
and newspapers.

Volk Rotary Speaker
Yesterday At Dinner
Dr. N. J. Volk, of the College
Agronomy Department, was the guest
speaker at the regular meeting of the
Rotary Club Thursday at the Thomas
Hotel.
Dr. Volk described an investigation
he made in 1926 to learn whether the
soil along the San Juan River was
suitable for growing bananas. Along
the general route of this river, the
boundary line between Nicarauga and
Costa Rica, the government plans to
open a canal from the Caribbean to
Lake Nicarauga.
The members of the party took
with them only one change of clothing.
To get through a virtually unexplored
jungle, they rode horseback, walked,
and used a dugout. Two or three
times they cut paths through swampy
jungle to arrive at a certain point.
The first meal the group ate con­sisted
of a large gourd of sour milk,
cnide homemade sugar, and corn meal
pancakes, which one rolled up, dipped
in the sour milk before eating.
On one occasion when Dr. Volk and
another member of the panty learned
that a native had only one egg and a
littlq milk to offer them, they flipped
a coin to see which each would get.
At times he was without food for as
many as three or four days. Rice was
the chief article of food. Once the
native wife of a German who had
settled there prepared coffee and
doughnuts for them.
Dr. I. S. McAdory had as guests at
the meeting Dr. and Mrs. C. N. Leach
of Montgomery. Dr. Leach is em­ployed
in rabies research for the
Rockefeller Foundation.
School Band Receives
Applause Last Night
Wearing new white and blue uni­forms,
the Auburn High School band
of 32 pieces appeared in its first for­mal
concert last night at the high
school building under the direction of
Lawrence Barnett. An audience of
400 people was enthusiastic in praise
of the concert which featured a va­riety
of classical, semi-classical, and
popular selections.
Three members of the band appear­ed
on the concert program as soloists.
They are Albert Paul Rauber, trum­pet;
Sheldon Toomer, band president,
clarinet; and Jack Hill, trombone.
Quest soloists were Gordon Hubbard,
baritone; and Hilding Holmberg, vi-braphonist.
The Aristocrats of Rhy­thm,
a dance orchestra composed of
members of the band, played two popu­lar
dance numbers.
W. E. Jones Elected
A. V. M. A. President
sor of psychology at the University
of Georgia.
Dr. Edwards has recently published
a pamphlet, "Aetiology of Student
Failures in the Unversity of Georgia",
based on eight years of experimenta­tion
and compilation of data. The
pamphlet explains that most of the
students who get failing grades get
them in courses which do not interest
them. i
W. E. Jones was elected president of
the Junior American Veterinary Medi­cal
Association last Wednesday night.
Jones is a junior in Veterinary Medi­cine
from Talladega.
Other officers who will serve with
Jones for the next semester are:
Thomas Bonds, vice-president; Hugo
Vollberg, secretary; B. H. Mayo,
treasurer; D. E. Gibbs, critic; H. 0.
Arrendale, sergeant at arms; D. W.
Pittman, editor of the veterinary pub­lication.
Only one per cent of the coeds
who have graduated from the Uni­versity
of Illinois are old maids, ac­cording
to reiturns in a recent sur­vey.
Eighty per cent marry within
the first three years after gradua­tion
and another 18 per cent after
the next three years.
