Heads Juniors
The varsity basketball team opened
its current intercollegiate campaign
last Friday and Saturday nights in
Sewanee by handing the University of
the South five two successive set­backs
by scores of 41-34 and 34-29.
Coach Jordan's basketeers gave a
splendid exhibition of rapid passwork
and accurate shooting under the
basket. Their fast offensive play tore
the Sewanee defense apart and en­abled
the Tigers to make practically
all of their shots within short range of
the hoop. Gordon Holmes, sophomore
forward, proved to be the marksman
of the team as he rang up a total of
20 points in the two games for the
Plainsmen. Several other sophs show­ed
up well in the two contests and
bode ill for future opponents.
Many Standouts
Captain Joel Eaves and Andrew
Curlee, one of the best guard combi­nations
in the conference, played their
usual sterling brand of ball and were
important cogs in the Tiger offensive.
Rouche, sophomore, has been showing
up well in practice sessions and ac­credited
himself well in both games.
Theron Karge, who has been giving
Rex McKissick stiff competition for
one of the forward posts, played top-notch
ball in both tilts and promises
to be a decided asset to Coach Jordan.
Sewanee, while not a top-ranking
team in the Conference, is still strong
enough to be a threat to those teams
having championship aspirations. They
gave an excellent exhibition against
Vanderbilt, only losing in the closing
moments of the game. As Vandy is
one of the leading Conference fives,
this was no small feat and should give
future opponents of the Purple Tigers
something to think about. While Au­burn
did not win either of the games
„by a large score, they proved to be
definitely superior to the Sewanee ag-

New County Officers
Take Offices Monday
County officials who were elected in
the November general election took
office last Monday, January 18. The
county officials who began their term
are two members of the Commission­ers'
Court, the Superintendent of Edu­cation,
and one member of the Board
of Education.
J. Guy Cofield and Ned James are
the Commissioners Court members.
Cofield succeeds B. W. McCritcheon
while James succeeds himself.
M. C. Whitten succeeds himself as
County Superintendent of Education
for another four year sand W. B. Cog-dell,
also re-elected, takes office on the
County School Board for a six-year
term. Both men were unopposed in
the election.
Ward Takes Position
With Tatum Motor Co.
Ottis Ward, Auburn graduate of
1931, has been selected as office man­ger
of Tatum Motor Company, Ope-lika,
filling -the vacancy left by Ogles-by
Lowe, who has taken a position
with the Chevrolet Motor Company,
Atlanta.
Mr. Ward was for six and one half
years associated with the First Na­tional
Bank of Auburn, rising to posi­tion
of assistant cashier. Subsequent
to his leaving the bank, he entered the
insurance business where he remained
until about a year ago when he took
a position with the Department of
Agriculture as State Field Supervisor
of the entire state of Alabama.
By GEORGE KNIGHT
At 7:15 Friday evening, January
29, in Langdon Hall, Auburn's 1936-
37 Glee Club will give its only home
presentation of the year. The con­cert
will be at thjs time so that many
of the visitors here for the mid-terms
will be able to enjoy the.program.
Students will be admitted by pre­senting
their ticket books at the door
and visitors will be charged a nomi­nal
fee. During the presentation of
the program a novel idea will be used,
in that the numbers will be announced
by a loudspeaker system explaining
each piece.
Tour Will Begin Monday
On Monday week the club will leave
on its annual tour. The singers will
visit the following places: Hunting­don
College in Montgomery, Ensley
and Phillips High Schools in Birming­ham,
the Y. M. C. A. of the American
Cast Iron Pipe Company also in Bir­mingham,
Judson College in Marion,
and Alabama College in Montevallo.
As a return performance the club will
give a concert at the University of
Alabama. David Cox, business man­ager
of the club, announced that the
vocalists will also give two radio con­certs
during the tour . . . . one over
WSFA in Montgomery at 3:30 Mon­day,
February 1, and another, to be
announced later, over one of the Bir­mingham
stations.
The club will leave from Mont­gomery
by a chartered Greyhound bus
anttwiir return Sunday, February -T,
to Auburn. This trip has been made
possible through the financial support
of the students by vote of the execu­tive
cabinet. Mr. P. 0. Davis and
Dean Scott have alsp been instrumen­tal
in arranging the finances of the
tour.
Selections Listed
Director Lawrence Barnett will take
thirty boys with him to present the
excellent program that has been care­fully
arranged. The following songs
are among the numbers to be present­ed:
"The Blue Danube", -"Nobody
Knows the Trouble I'se Seen", "The
Creole Love Song", "The Song of The
Vagabonds", and a most delightful and
effective number from "Finlandia" by
Jean Sibelius entitled, "On Great Lone
Hills". A quartet will sing two pieces
. . . "Drink to Me Only With Thine
Eyes", and "I Got Plenty of Nuttin'."
A double quartet will sing the always-popular
"Make Believe" from the mo­tion
picture Show Boat. Gordon Hub­bard
will give three or four solos and
Paul Rudolph will play several piano
selections, one of which will be made
complete by the entire club singing
"Glory to Old Auburn."
Ladies Riding Course
Being Offered Again
According to Captain W. J. Klep-inger,
the Military Department will
again conduct a course in Equitation
for ladies during the second semester.
As in the past the course will consist
of twenty, one-hour classes, but due
to the requirements for horses for
military instruction and polo, these
classes will be held only on Tuesday
and Thursday afternoons from four
to five.
The first meeting of the class will
be held at 4 P. M. Thursday, February
4. No beginners will be enrolled for
the instruction during the second se­mester.
The class will be divided into two
sections, one of which will include
jumping as part of the regular in­struction.
As usual, women students
of the college will have priority in
enrollment; others in the succession
of their priority are ladies of the
faculty, lady employees of the college,
residents of Auburn, and non-resi­dents.
Enrollment may be made with Mrs.
Susie Hackney in the office of the
Commandant.' A fee of $7.50 must be
paid at the time of registration.

Visiting Girls
Must Stay In
Frats, Is Rule
Boys Having Visiting Girls May
Find Place For Them By
Consulting Chairman Merritt
"So that there will be no last-minute
misunderstanding it should be made
clear that all visiting girls up for the
dances will be required to stay in
fraternity houses," said Vernon Mer­ritt,
Chairman of the Social Commit­tee,
as he released last minute in­structions
about the new rules. "When
Kay Kyser plays "Thinking of You"
next Thursday night he will be open­ing
one of the best dance sets Auburn
has ever had."
Merritt stated that if boys wanting
to place their girls would notify him,
he would arrange a place for them to-stay
at one of the eight house parties.
He asked that all fraternities having
house parties send in a list of the
girls already on their guest lists.
Dance Rules To Be In Effect
The new set of dance rules apply­ing
to visiting girls are as follows:
1. The returning of acceptance
cards by the girls attending the dances
shall not be compulsory, but requested
so that adequate housing facilities
may be arranged.
2. Girls shall be expected to stay
in the fraternity house assigned to
them during their stay in Auburn.
3. Girls shall not be required to
check in and cut of the dances.
4. Girls shall not be required to
remain on the dance floor at all times.
5. Visiting girls shall be expected
to sign in at their respective assigned
houses not later than 2:30 A. M. un­less
a buffet supper is attended, in
which case they shall be allowed to
sign in 20 minutes after the close of
the function.
Tickets for the dances are on sale
by members of the committee. Season
tickets are on sale for $10.00, tickets
for all day Friday or Saturday for
$5.00, one day dance for $1.50, one
night dance for $3.50, and tickets for
balcony seats at night dances for $1.00.
Two Story Building
Near Completion Here
A new two story building is nearing
completion just back of the City Bowl­ing
Alley on College Street. J. L.
Wright, who recently built the build­ings
now occupied by Edwards Gro­cery
and the City Bowling Alley,-is
builder and owner of the new building.
The new building is of tile and
stucco construction. The first floor
will contain a large storage room and
the second floor will contain five
rooms to be rented to the students.
Tom Bacon, Star Of Last Year's
Team, Is Only Letterman Re­turning;
Prospects Are Dim
Captain W. J. Klepinger, professor
of military tactics and coach of Au­burn's
polo team, announced yesterday
that the Military Department had been
notified that an appropriation suf­ficient
to carry on practice and to
play matches on the home fteld had
been awarded the polo team by the
Athletic Department. The appropria­tion,
however, was not sufficient to
cover the expenses for a road trip as
those of previous years.
Last year eight members of the polo
team and Captain Klepinger made a
trip through the North playing three
games en route. The itinerary was so
arranged that most of the stops were
made at the colleges where the team
played thereby reducing the expendi­tures
to the barest minimum.
No Trip Without More Funds
It is still hoped that the team will
be able to make a road trip this sea­son
through the Southwest; however,
this trip will not be forthcoming un­less
additional funds are awarded the
team by the Athletic Department or
Executive Cabinet.
Prospects for the team this year
are not as bright as those of previous
years. Tom Bacon of Bessemer is the
only letter man returning to the squad
this year. Bacon has had three years
of experiences on the team. Other
members who were on the squad last
year and who are expected to return
this year include Burton, Hurd, Hardy,
Hardee, Herrin, Tinsley, McNulty, and
Floyd.
The first practice of the season will
be held at the polo field the afternoon
of February 3. Anyone who is in­terested
in trying out for the squad
is asked to leave his name and infor­mation
as to his riding experience at
the desk of Captain Klepinger in the
military office.
Alabama Architects
Elects Two Auburn
Grads New Officers
Two of the three new officers elect­ed
by the Alabama Chapter of the
American Institute of Architects last
week in Birmingham are Auburn
graduates. They are Moreland Grif­fith
Smith, Montgomery, president,
and Henderson L. Holman, Jr., Ozark,
secretary-treasurer.
Mr. Smith received his bachelor of
architecture degree at Auburn in
1928, and Mr. Holman is a 1924 grad­uate
with the bachelor of science in
architecture. Jack Smith of Birming­ham
was named the new vice-presi­dent
of the Alabama Chapter A. I. A.
During the meeting in Birmingham
an emergency appropriation for the
architectural library here was made
by the Alabama Chapter, according to
announcement of Dean Frederic Child
Biggin, of the School of Architecture
and Allied Arts.
Opelika Traffic To
Be Ruled By Lights
Increased traffic in Opelika brings
the installation of six new overhead
traffic signal lights.
Traffic signals will be placed along
Second Avenue at the intersections of
Eleventh. Tenth, Ninth, Eight and
Fifth Streets. A sixth signal light
will be placed at the intersection of
South Eight Street and Torbert Street
where the Columbus highway enters
the city proper.
City officials say that the signal
lights have been ordered and will
probably be installed in the next ten
days.
Douglas C* Booth
Will Be Principal
I. R* C. Lecturer
Dr. C. Douglas Booth, Canadian-born
authority on international af­fairs
will be. one of the principal
speakers at the 16th annual confer­ence
of Southeastern International
Relations Clubs to be held here on
Friday and Saturday, February 19
and 20. He will discuss "The British
International Policy and the Present
World Crisis".
More than 200 student delegates
and advisers from 128 clubs in South­eastern
colleges and universities are
expected to attend the meeting. Ar­rangements
are being made by R. C
Boles, and Professor O. T. Ivey, of
the history department.
Dr. Douglas, widely known traveler,
publicist, and lecturer, has spent
many years in Europe, North Africa,
and the Near East collecting material
on economic and political problems un­der
the auspices of the Carnegie Foun­dation
of New York City.
Among his books and articles "Ita­ly's
Aegean Possessions," published in
London (1928), is well known in
America.
Dr. Booth was born in Canada, edu­cated
at St. Andrew's College, Toronto,
and Loyola University, and has since
studied at the Academy of Interna
tional Law in the Hague. He was
awarded an LL. D. by the Beloit Col­lege
in 1936 in recognition of his
services to the college in the field of
international relations.
During the war he held the rank of
Major in His Majesty's Forces. He
has devoted several years to the study
of Central European, Mediterranean
and Balkan problems, and for this
purpose has resided or travelled in
Morocco, Egypt, Rhodes, Athens, Bel­grade,
Budapest, Vienna, Paris and
London.
He^is a member of the Royal In­stitute
of International Affairs, Chat­ham
House, London, before which he
has read several papers which were
later published in the Proceedings of
that Society.
French Speaker
To Appear Here
For 3 Lectures
Because of unanimous student and
faculty approval of the brilliant lec­ture
series last fall by the distinguish­ed
English visitor to the campus, S.
K. Ratcliffe, Pres. L. N. Duncan this
week accepted the proposal of the In­stitute
of International Education to
send to Auburn in November the dis­tinguished
French writer and interna­tionalist,
Monsieur Pierre de Lanux,
of Paris. He will deliver three lectures.
The career of M. de Lanux has been
a varied one. He was a war corre­spondent
in the Balkans in 1912, later
serving in the French Ambulance
Corps during the World War. In
1916 he was appointed a member of
the French Commission to the United
States, in charge of Liaison with
Czechs, Poles, Jugo-Slavs, and Ru­manians.
- He was on the staff of
Andre Tardieu during the Paris Peace
Conference. In 1923 M. de Lanux or­ganized
the French "Comite d' Action
pour la Society des Nations." His
work here was so brilliant that it
led, in 1925 to his appointment as di­rector
of the Paris office of the
League of Nations.
Has Written Five Books
M. de Lanux has written five books,
"Jugoslavia", "Young France and
New America", "Eveil D'Une Ethique
Internationale", "Life of Henry IV",
and "Sud". In addition he has con­tributed
generously to both French
and American magazines, the latter
including the North American Re­view,
Outlook, Collier's, Christian
Science Monitor, Baltimore Sun, and
the New York Times.
M. de Lanux speaks English clearly
and distinctly, almost without accent.
His coming to Auburn next fall will
be sponsored by a committee headed by
Prof. J. R. Rutland, head professor of
English.

Savings Bonds Now On
Sale At Post Office
Resigning Students
To Return War Suits
"All students who resign from col­lege
at any time during the school
year are required to clear at the Mili­tary
Department supply room", states
Captain McKinnon, supply officer.
"In the case of Freshmen taking RO
TC, each month that the uniform re­mains
in the possession of the stu­dent,
regardless of his resignation, he
loses two dollars of the uniform fee
paid upon registration. For this rea­son
the uniform should be turned in
promptly upon resignation. Sopho­mores
taking ROTC receive no refund
but must turn in all or some part of
uniform to clear uniform account."
United States Savings Bonds are
now being offered by the Treasury De­partment
to investors who wish to buy
these bonds each week, month, or at
other fixed intervals, according to
Postmaster Homer Wright. The flexi­bility
of this form of savings pro­gram
permits investors to buy these
bonds in denominations to suit their
means out of current income or from
accumulated funds. This is a safe and
convenient method of providing cash
for the future, bonds maturing in ten
years from issue date for one-third
more than their purchase price.
Further details may be obtained from
the U. S. Post Office.
The Postal Staff says that out-go­ing
mail must be dropped in boxes
twenty minutes before train time. The
in-coming mail is placed in boxes
thirty minutes after a train arrives.
The Post Office is stressing the
renting of boxes as those who have
them get much better service than
those who have their mail delivered.
The boxes may be rented for the small
sum of twenty cents per month.
The Postal Staff also wishes to
bring to your attention the large
amount of carelessly addressed mail
that is going to the dead letter office
at the present time. When you mail
a piece of mail, for your good and
that of the Post Office, be sure you
have written the address clearly and
have put the return address, and have
put on the correct amount of postage.

Keep Your Integrity
Examinations are practically here.
There is one thing to remember—
no matter what grade you make,
make it honestly. Intellect can­not
always be had, integrity can.
Grades do count as we have always
heard; they should be strived for. But
if we wait, unprepared, until exami­nation
day to get good marks, we
should not try to raise our averages
by looking over our neighbor's
shoulder.
Do the best you can; the best you
are prepared to do and be content
with your honest effort. If you fail,
a little disappointment is better than
a guilty conscience.
A Last Reminder
This editorial is a last reminder of
the behavior expected of those who
are planning to attend the Mid-
Terms. What we will say has, no
doubt, already been said, but it is
worth repeating.
Under the lax dance rules it should
be easy for students to "put some­thing
over" on the chaperons. The
new regulations were made with the
belief that nothing of this sort would
be attempted; it is up to the students
to prove that this faith was well-placed.
The only rule that keeps a hand
over the visiting girls is the one stat­ing
that all girls shall be checked in
the houses after night dances. Even
this may be evaded. In other words,
we are put on our own behavior for
this set. If infractions of the regula­tions
occur, we will be back with the
old rules when the Finals come.
Turn About Is Fair Play
The Plainsman is the official stu­dent
semi-weekly newspaper of the
Alabama Polytechnic Institute. Over
two thousand persons, including stu-dens,
faculty members and towns­people
read The Plainsman.
The merchants and business men
of this and adjoining towns have con­tributed
in a large measure to the
success of this publication through
their continued patronage of the ad­vertising
columns of the paper. Were
it not for their support it would be
a difficult matter to publish a semi-weekly
newspaper for the student
body.
Merchants in Auburn are not ad­vertising
in The Plainsman entirely
from a charitable point of view, but
rather with some idea of increasing
sales. In the advertisements may be
found mention of practically every
necessity and luxury in which college
students are interested with sufficient
other information to facilitate the
purchasing of these articles.
The Plainsman urges all readers of
the paper to read its advertisements
and, when possible, to patronize the
advertisers. Turn about is fair play
—the advertisers help the student
newspaper, so let the students help
the merchants.
It's Your Chance
The Plainsman has been fortunate
this year in having a large number
of letters sent in by students, a great
deal of original writing by others
than staff members, and a student
body that has been critical but fair.
To these three things we attribute
any fair amount of success this paper
has had, is having, and will have.
In the first issue students were told
that this was their paper and that all
suggestions, written matter, should
be appreciated. Many have taken ad­vantage
of this—and more have not.
From different sources we receive
every type of material from "Cats
and Canaries" to "Feature Edi­torials"
and from society notes to
front-page stories.
Such interest makes us feel that
what we are doing is taken an in­terest
in, if not always approved, by
students.
If you have never mustered enough
interest to write a letter to the Plains­man
or make any contributions, we
suggest that you do it now.
Let's Keep It Thus
It is with increasing satisfaction
that we notice the administration's
concentrated efforts to strengthen
the neutrality policy of the United
States. The unique race between a
boat loaded with airplanes and war
supplies bound for war torn Spain
and the passage of the newest neu­trality
resolution focused unusual at­tention
on the efforts of President
Roosevelt to keep us from becoming
entangled in the general European
war situation.
While we hold no brief for profes­sional
pacifism as such, neither do
we believe that we should take any
participating interest in a conflict
that should concern us but little. No
one can doubt that the interest of
Robert Cuse, the much published
plane dealer, in the Spanish revolu­tion
was a monetary rather than an
emotional one. This might also be
said of the American aviators who
have been flying in Spain,
We are not so rash as to believe
that the sole efforts of Mr. Cuse and
the aviators could have involved us in
another European war but their con­tinued
efforts would have been a step
in the wrong direction. Already the
civil war in Spain has involved most
of the great nations of Europe in con­troversies
of one sort of another.
Many wars have been declared on
lesser excuses and with power-mad
dictators at the helm of several of
these nations the outcome is unpre­dictable.
A policy of strict neutrality is the
best insurance the United States can

Under the sponsorship of the Fed­eral
Writers Project a compilation of
Alabama annals has been developed
and will be published this Spring.
Completed after more than a year of
research the volume will be the most
comprehensive history of the State
ever published.
There is a well-defined need for
such a volume. Many of the features
of the state that are usually overlook­ed,
by residents and tourists alike, are
brought to attention by this volume.
Alabamians who have but a scant
knowledge of what lies within the
states borders will have an oppor­tunity
to learn of many of its hitherto
unknown spots of interest and beauty.
Everyone should take advantage of
the opportunity the volume affords.
Often misunderstood, and often
maligned, the Alabama may be well
served by a true factual and historical
volume that shows the State as it
really is. Even the most rabid native
son should more clearly understand
his State by digesting this volume.

ASIATICS enjoy music for reasons quite
different from ours. The music of the
West is intended to break the silence. The
music of the East is intended to prepare
the listener for the pause that follows.
Sound is used only in order to emphasize
silence. For it is during the silence that
the listener is revealed to himself. The
Asiatic appreciates the value of emptiness;
he endeavors to raise to a subtle art the
enjoyment of a pause.
PHILOSOPHER
The man who said he never told a lie
never told a bigger one.
Some fellows take everything for grant­ed
except a hint.
It doesn't necessarily follow that because
you are right you won't be left.
An Iowa woman aimed at a dog and shot
her husband in the neck. No woman should
have a revolver, a dog and a husband at
the same time.
Before Tomorrow
By JAMES BUNTIN
THIS TIME: NEWS PARADE, DATE
PROBLEMS, PRISON RIOT, AUTO
STRIKE, NEW PLANE RULES, T.V.A.
Confused by news and gossip items,
moody and distracted by too much re­miniscing,
confronted on every side by
hopeless aspirations and miserable blunders,
your reporter struggles thus to 'give you
the digest that is the complete news story
BEFORE TOMORROW renders it only dull
history of the past.
*. * * *
WHAT items that might prove a bit in­teresting
are thus in retrospect:
Senator Ashhurst from Arizona comes
forth with a proposed bill that is designed
to remove the profits from kidnapping.
Madrid, now a virtual no-man's land, is
at last seeing some real warfare; both sides
are reporting heavy losses. •
Unless the weatherman's predicted cold
weather arrives soon, the country is soon to
begin suffering again from floods. The
Ohio river is overrunning its banks. Four
deaths, not mentioning heavy property loss­es,
have been reported.
A bill will probably be introduced to Con­gress,
providing for a six year presidential
term and restricting each president to one
term.
• * * * *
WHEN never-before-mentioned student
names receive some attention by this dirty
sheet a suspense will be relieved. Sugges­tion:
Do something and submit your name
and escapade for consideration.
AND WHEN CO-EDS go on a date
strike, using the exam period for an excuse,
they are probably resting from the horrible
ordeal of having to neck up a storm with
some boy just to go to some dance or, worse,
only have a "sit in our date parlor" date.
More power to those hardier ones who can
still keep it up without falling down on the
job of providing our meagre-enough Epi­curean
element.

WHERE poor food is served and living
conditions are unhealthy, dissension is sure
to rise. It resulted in 700 men rioting, sev­eral
escaping, and approximating a $200,-
000 damage to a prison in neighboring
Canada.
* * * *
WHY safe airliner service would not be
worth seven millions spent on ground aids
to air navigation and on weather bureau
service resulted in the passage of a still ob­solete,
though more legal sounding, set of
rules by Congress, even after an investi­gation.

HOW long and how far T. V. A. will be
extended is a provoking question for quite
a number of people. Will it work in unity
with the decent-minded utilities in supply­ing
an abundance of electricity for the
populace? President Roosevelt has decided
to expand it on a nation-wide scale.

Here's What Two' Of Our Subscriber*
Think Of The Paper
Editor, The Auburn Plainsman
Dear Sir:
We were greatly surprised to read the
article in which the editor acknowledged as
to the type of paper he is editing.
The writer of the column, Cats and Ca­naries,
doesn't seem to realize that there
are over a score of students in College. In
reading his column it is noticed that the
same names appear each issue, and this is
getting very tiresome to the remaining
twenty-four hundred students.
We agree that Pete should improve on the
subject matter of his Epistle. We think
that by now he should be promoted to drink­ing
Crab Orchard as he has been drinking
Corn liquor long enough.
We also think that the picture of a Jack­ass
would be a good substitution for the
picture of Hugh. Since he seems to be im­proving
on his subject matter to an appre­ciable
extent, we enjoy reading his column.
We also think that there should be more
school news than has been printed in
previous issues.
We hope to make no enemies by our per­sonal
views of some of the various columns.
Yours for better improvements,
Ted Childress and J. D. McDaniel.
Answers R. P. W.'s Letter On "Shining"
At Dances
Editor, The Auburn Plainsman
Dear Sir:
I want it understood from the first that
I heartily agree with the ideas expressed by
R. P. W. in his letter dealing with "shine"
at our dances. There is only one point on
which we differ. A kettle of herring was
offered to those girls who ask their partners
not to dance out of a certain corner. This
offering, I think, is unjust.
There may be a few exceptions, but most
of the girls who make this request do it
to save those boys who wish to dance with
them the trouble of having to get out a
search warrant to find them in the crowd.
Especially at the time of no-breaks and at
intermission is the knowledge of the ap­proximate
position of his partner on the
dance floor a saving of both time and ener­gy
to boys. When a girl asks her partner
not to lead her out of a certain corner, she
is being helpful, so let's not condemn her for
making such a request. Sincerely yours,
M. E. S.
On Your Radio—By John B. Thomas
Possibly some of you noticed in the casul-ty
list of one of the recent airplane trage­dies,
the name of Paul Hare, musician. Hare
was a trumpet player in Jimmy Dorsey's
band. He had been home for the holidays
and was on his way back to the coast to
join the band. Hare was a good musician
and will be hard to replace by Dorsey.
This also reminds us of the plane acci­dent
last summer in which Orville Knapp,
popular young maestro, lost his life. How­ever,
Knapp was a licensed pilot and was
flying his own plane when he crashed. At
the time he was playing an engagement in
Boston at the Ritz Carlton Hotel.
Shep Field and his "Rippling Rhythm"
outfit have replaced Hal Kemp at the Ar­cadia
Restaurant, Philadelphia. Kemp has
returned to New York to take over the Fri­day
night presentation of the Chesterfield
program. Incidentally, Hal was born about
thirty years ago in Marion, Ala.
The patrons of the Marine Dining Room
of the Edgewater Beach Hotel, Chicago,
bombarded the bandstand so heavily with
snowballs that the Saturday night broad­cast
over CBS had to be stopped temporari­ly.
George Olsen begged them to hold the
snowballs until after the broadcast and
promised that the members of the band
would then throw them back.
Several reports have come in that Isham
Jones has reorganized. Retirement seems
to be more of a task than working. Jones
is one of the real "old timers", having been
active in the radio world for many years.
Freddy Martin has his band insured in
such a manner that a member receives his
pay if he is unable to perform because of
illness or accident.
The Drake Hotel has scored again, Dick
Jurgens and his orchestra are packing them
in nightly at this Chicago rendezvous. The
arrangements are swell and the first trom­bonist
is a wizard. One of the vocalists,
Eddie Howard, has one of the sweetest
voices on the airwaves. Pat O'Ralley is
master of ceremonies, and if you haven't
heard him sing in his lime-house brogue,
you have missed something.
Listen to Ted Weems since Kay Kyser's
departure from the Trianon has been a keen
disappointment. However, it will not be
long before that "Evenin' folks" will be
addressed us personally. Let's all be there!
On Other Campuses—By The Wanderer
BING BOWS: About a month ago Bing
Crosby, on his radio program stated that
Georgia won the Rose Bowl game in 1929.
Such a deluge of corrections were received
from Georgia Tech fans (Tech was the \
team that won that year) that on his next
program Bing corrected the error. In addi­tion
to his radio correction, Bing wrote a
letter to the "Associated Students" of Tech,
apologizing and sending season's greetings.

SHORT(S) AND SNAPPY: As an initia­tion
stunt, an Ohio State senior was order­ed
by his Delta Kappa Epsilon brothers to
obtain an autographed pair of Governor
Martin L. Davy's shorts. The student tele­phoned
to find out the governor's size, then
he bought a pair, called at the governor's
office and proposed a swap. Governor Davy
smilingly consented, went into a side office,
and, a few minutes later presented the em­barrassed
senior with the autographed
shorts.

AMBITIOUS LAD: An A. B. degree in
eight months. That will be the record of a
sensational young prodigy if he graduates
from the University of Chicago in May ac­cording
to schedule. The youngster, who
graduated from a Bronx high school at 15,
is the fastest of the prodigies attracted by
Chicago's New Plan, allowing graduation as
soon as the candidate can pass examina­tions.
This student studies fourteen hours
a day, with the aid of coffee and chocolate
bars, then takes two days off and goes
hiking.

COLD-HEARTED: Last Monday the
furnace in the Sigma Chi house at DePauw
University gave up the ghost. The Sigma
Chi's shivered, while not far off the Delta
Chi's in their nice warm house just laughed
and laughed. A few hours passed and the
ailing furnace was at last repaired. Then
down the street came the fire truck. The
firemen hopped off, ran into the Delta Chi
house and finally put out a blaze there.
Now the wind whistles in through what was
once the floor of the Delta Chi house. Not
far off, tke Sigma Chi's sit in their nice
warm house and just laugh and laugh.

COLLEGIATE PEACE MOVEMENT:
Today in America there are numerous col­legiate
peace organizations, some of which
are good and some of which are bad. The
Carolinian censures all of youth's anti-war
movements with a most timely comment . .
. . "There is a tendency for students to wish
to join every available organization that
has the word "peace" attached to it.
Whether the group is of proven worth or is
simply a collection of emotionally unbal­anced
ruffians makes little difference in the
mad desire to become identified with a peace
movement.
"The peace groups have touched a large
proportion of collegiate youth. Until they
can stimulate this youth to serious thought
and definite practical action, they have
failed."

BACK TO NATURE: Twenty five girls
at Florida State College for Women have
become ardent and serious vegetarians.
They vow that they are neither trying to
establish a fad nor looking for publicity.
When the girls started on their diet, most

the others are gradually following the
example. To quote the leader of the group,
the idea seems to be to "keep collegiate
freshness."

ROVING RODENT REMOVED: A
practical demonstration of the best method
of exterminating mice featured a lecture of
the Chemistry Club of Loyola. The lecturer
broke off in the middle of a sentence as a
grey streak flashed across the floor. When
the streak halted, it was revealed to be a
mouse. The speaker, catching the little
critter unawares, raised his foot and slam­med
down with his size elevens. Splat! And
the poor mousie was no more. Aren't people

Thunderations
By HUGH CAMERON
A gently, but neverthelessly firmly, and
fermenty, smelling herring (a form of fish
not addicted to playing slot machines) to
all of those guilty of
not knowing prime
photography from an
Easter gathering of
Wild Habiscus.
If Ed Danforth and
I choose to run pic­tures
of the Waywood
B o y e type, there
should be no shouting from the upper gal­lery,
and throwing of peanut hulls. This is
no showing of Faust, neither is the score
15 to 14 in the seventh inning.
Danforth and I were no doubt taking
pictures . . . and other unattached articles
before first vesper services and before spit­ting
tobacco from the gallery was consider­ed
a menace to "Settin' Hen" hats . . . the
'90 variety.
I'm definitely accused of writing this
column, but both the editor and I have been
queried as to what African Territory is to
be visited and who's going to do the visiting
because of the picture which has been run­ning
at the top of the column.
* * * *
Ain't you Hottentots ever seen a passport
picture? If anyone really wants to know,
this picture, which is at the top of the
column, is the true likeness of a Phenix City
citizen taken before crossing the Chatta­hoochee
into Columbus. If some of you still
continue to spit, drizzlingly, from the gal­lery
after this explanation, we will try to
have a pass port picture next time of an
East Tallassee citizen going into Tallassee
on a Saturday night, to get a shave and try
out the city cuspidors.
Some of you Ensley eggs get your pic­tures
taken on just before going into Slag-town
and see how you turn out.
* * * *
And if anyone wants to question the lit­erary
quality of this particular issue of the
column it is because of the tight hat band
of V. Merritt's hat. Merritt, with an acorn
shaped head, has a hat that will no wise
fit this watermelon head. Besides it's rain­ing
this Tuesday, and Merritt's hat is bet­ter
than going around letting last Fall's
acorns'hop against one's head accompanied
by a dash of water that has never seen a
seltzer bottle.

Merritt, without his hat is like a pool
player without a cue stick . . . . nothing to
fight the flies with.

The time is' getting closer to where we
will all be going down to the gymnasium to
see and hear Kay Kyser. As yet there has
been no picture of his best singer . . . Arthur
Wright. It is not known whether such a
picture Was sent by MCA and Merritt left
it where he left this hat or whether MCA
just didn't send one at all. Anyie Ho, this
Wright person can do things to songs that
will make the visiting wimmen wish they
had worn more clothes to the dance on ac­count
of the shivers which will run down
their backs at the singing.

into today's constantly used necessity largely because
the Bell System never ceased looking for the new and

Young ideas developed "conference service", ena­bling

Young ideas are at work day and night to make

F. H. A. Chapter Initiates
Ten Girls Tuesday
The Auburn Future Homemakers of
America initiated ten girls into the or­ganization
last Tuesday morning, Jan­uary
12, in the vocational building of
the Auburn High School under the di­rection
of Miss Thelma Graves, voca­tional
home economics teacher.
The following girls were initiated:
Annie Laurie Howard, Polly Rogers,
Annie Smith, Ruby Thigpen, Florence
Lowe, Nita Barter, Mary Norrell, Le-nora
Hammeck, Rebecca Black, and
Virginia Cook.
The F. H. A. is a sister organiza­tion
of the Future Farmers of Ameri­ca.
It was founded by Mrs. Edna
Piers of Konawaena High School,
Hawaii. In 1931, the American Vo­cational
Association met in New York
at which time the supervisors dis­cussed
the needs for an F. H. A. As
a result of this meeting, Alabama,
Kansas, and Missouri began having
F. H. A. programs in 1932.
The Auburn Chapter of F. H. A.
was organized in 1936 by Miss Thelma
Graves, vocational home economics
teacher. Miss Graves has done much
through the organization to encourage
girls in Home Economics to make
homemaking training in their per­sonal
development, in their homes, and
community life.

Auburn High nosed out a win over
a close game from a more experienced
Five Points team last Friday night by
a score of 14 to 13.
The tallying for Auburn was led
by Paul Starr who made 7 of the 14
points. Charles Ham was next in the
scoring line with 3 points. Abb
Chrietzberg and Jack Bright got the
remaining points with two a piece.
Chrietzberg and Mitchell Wadkins did
a good job of holding their opponents
scoreless.
Auburn was less fortunate Satur­day
night when they lost to a big We-tumpka
team. This game was also
•close until the last few minutes when
the Wetumpka bunch warmed up and
were leading by a score of 24 to 11
when the final whistle blew.
