Auburn Fights Until Last Min­ute
When Long Pass Places
Them In Scoring Position
Louisiana State University pro­gressed
further along the Rose Bowl
route last Saturday as they handed a
fighting Auburn eleven a 19-6 setback
before a crowd of 24,000 in Legion
Field.
The contest was close throughout
with the Purple Bengals holding a
slim six point lead from late in the
iirst quarter to the last period when
a 90-yard jaunt by Jess Milner from
his own ten yard stripe clinched the
victory. Soon after this, Bernie
Moore's charges rang up another tally
to put the game definitely on ice.
However, the "never-say-die" spirit of
the Plainsmen persisted even against
such imposing odds and a determined
drive headed by Bobbie Blake result­ed
in Auburn's only score of the day.
Great Exhibition
The final score does not half tell
the story of the game. Both teams
put on a great exhibition of football
with the superior reserve strength of
L. S. U. proving to be the decisive
margin oyer Auburn. The first quar­ter
saw an inspired Plainsman eleven
outplay and outfight the aggregation
from Baton Rouge as they drove down
the field to the twenty yard stripe
where Sam McCroskey, husky guard,
dropped back to attempt a field goal
which went wide of its mark. Upon
the Purple Bengals' receiving the pig­skin
they launched a powerful run­ning
and passing attack which culmi­nated
in a score.
The Bayou Tigers, by virtue of this
victory, retained first place in na­tional
standings and are almost a cer­tain
Rose Bowl contender having but
one fairly hard foe to conquer in Tu-lane
before the end of the season.
Judging from the display of power
they gave in Birmingham, the Green
Wave should give the Purple Bengals
little trouble. The only other con­tender
for the annual New Year's
classic in California is Alabama who
have only a tie With Tennessee mar­ring
their otherwise spotless record.
L.S.U. Presents Colorful Program
L. S. U. made good on their promise
to give Birmingham a colorful
spectacle both before and during the
game. Their impressive cadet corp
paraded through the streets while
'thousands watched, the tiger mascot
was very much in evidence, the bril­liantly
clad band blasted out rousing
marches, and the pretty cheer leaders
added much to the spirit of the oc­casion.
The Auburn 80-piece band,
though outnumbered, were not out­shone
by the Louisiana 207-piece out­fit.
They rendered some stirring
marches and were well received by
the crowd. All in all, it was a great
day for both schools with the football
game as a crowning climax to the
week-end's activities.
Annual Farm Bureau
Meeting Held Here
The annual meeting of Alabama
Farm Bureau and the Alabama Ex­tension
Service was held at Langdon
Hall here yesterday and today.
L. N. Duncan, director of the Ala­bama
Extension Service, gave the wel­come
address to the farmers and ex­tension
workers at the opening meet­ing
Tuesday morning. The response
was made by Mrs. C. E. Bledsoe, presi­dent
of the Alabama Council of Home
Demonstration Clubs.
Addresses were made by many well
known farm leaders in the state. Dr.
Clarence Poe, editor of the "Progres­sive
Farmer and Southern Ruralist",
presented medals to the 1936 Master
Farmers.
The meeting which was to have
been held in the summer was post­poned
until this time on account of the
infantile paralysis epidemic.
With plans for the frat decora­tions
nearing completion, Vernie
Holloway, chairman of the Inter-fraternity
Council Decorations
Committee, states that all fra­ternities
entering into the contest
must submit their itemized bill for
cost of displays to him not later
than 11 o'clock Friday night If
the cost exceeds $20 the fraternity
is automatically eliminated.
Since many of the decorations
are designed to secure the best
effect at night, there will be judg­ing
both day and night Saturday.
The attractiveness and originality
of the displays will constitute the
main points of judging.
More interest is being shown
this year for this annual event
than in the past and as a result
there should be much keener com­petition
for the prize. The Inter-fraternity
Council will give a
large loving cup to the winner.
The Sigma Alpha Epsilon are
the possessors of the cup given
last year.
GerheardtHas

In Frosh Test
Francis Gerheardt Of Mobile
Scores 320 Out Of 350 Pos­sible
Points; Tail Second
Francis Henry Gerheardt, a gradu
ate of Murphy High in Mobile, en­rolled
in the School of Chemistry^
leads in Freshman English Placement
Test Scores with a mark of 320 points
out of a possible 350, surpassing all
previous placement test records at
Auburn.
Students most closely following Ger­heardt
in test results are George P.
Tail, Ensley High, 313; Edward Hill
Thomas, Abbeville High School, 312;
Frank B. Gunter, Columbus High
School, Columbus, Ga., 307; Thomas
S. Smith, Brewton High, 301; Nany

Scores on the 1936 Test are on the
whole considerably higher than those
made on last year's test. In 1935, only
three students made 300 ,or more
points, whereas this year there are
five, and the lower brackets show a
corresponding increase in test scores.
Gerheardt's remarkable record ex­ceeds
the effort of Edwin Godbold,
last year's high ranking student, by
three points, and that of William B.
Stelzenmuller, record holder of 1934
by. eleven points.
Eugene Frye And His Troupe,
Sponsored By The Auburn
Players, To Appear Here
Tomorrow night at eight o'clock
Frye, renowned magician, and his
troup will appear in Langdon Hall
under the auspices of the Auburn
Players. This is the first out-of-town
attraction brought here by the or­ganization.
Frye will present a program of
magic, ventriloquism, and optical il­lusions.
Under each one of these
heads mentioned, several acts are to
be' given, according to advanced in­formation
from the Auburn Players.
The exact length of the program could
not be ascertained, but at least two
full hours entertainment is promised.
Nation-Wide Acclaim
Eugene Frye has appeared in every
state and has won for himself na­tion-
wide acclaim for his repertoire
which will include three kinds of
magic including manipulative magic,
or sleight-of-hand; mechanical magic,
in which the manipulation is done by
mechanical or chemical means; and
optical illusions.
In addition to Frye's personal per­formance,
several other acts will be
presented, among these being a come­dy
skit, "School Daze", featuring Mel-ba
Rhodes, a woman ventriloquist. Mr.
Frye has taken a part in the exposure
of the fake spiritualist, having been
employed by the Extension Divisions
of the Universities of Wisconsin,
Kansas, and Minnesota for that pur­pose.
He will touch briefly upon this
subject during his program here.
Ticket Books Not Good
Activity books do not entitle stu­dents
free admission to the perform­ance
tomorrow night as these books
are good only for plays presented by
the local hespians, not for outside at­tractions
sponsored by this group.
However, the admittance charge has
been set low enough so that students
will be able to attend. Tickets will be
fifteen and twenty-five cents.
Foreign Legion To Be
Subject Of Lecture
First-hand information on the world
famous French Foreign Legion will be
given before a meeting, of the Re­serve
Officers Association at 7:30
Tuesday evening in Ross Chemical
Laboratory by Lt. C. L» deWalski,
local CCC camp commander.
Lt. deWalski has a distinguished re­cord
of five years' service with the
French Foreign Legion. His first
tour of duty was for one year begin­ning
in 1903 as a forestry officer. His
last service with the Legion ended in
1920 after serving four years. He
held the rank of captain. Lt. deWal­ski
is also a veteran of the Boer War.
A number of medals were presented
to him by the French government.

Auburn Frosh Show Power
In Beating Tech Rats, 25-0
The Auburn freshmen eleven closed
its two-game schedule for 1936 Mon­day
afternoon when it crushed the'
Georgia Tech frosh 25-0, showing a
powerful offensive attack that liter­ally
swept the Engineers off their feet.
The victory enabled the Tiger Cubs
to keep their record unblemished for
the fifth consecutive season and re­vealed
the present team as one of the
best in recent years. An early threat
by Tech was halted on Auburn's five-yard
marker when their lateral pass
attack was nearly smothered and
Ector's fumble was recovered by an-
Auburn back. The fumble proved to
be costly for the Yellowjacket Cubs
as it was soon after this that Harri­son
scored on a pass from Kenmore.
The next tally came from recovery of
a fumble by Tech's halfback, Page, on
Auburn's 41-yard stripe. Quarterback
Jack Mercer pounced on the ball for
the Tiger frosh and then started the
drive which culminated in Shearer's
plunging over the goal line from the
two-yard line. Ham's place kick
bounced off a Tech lineman and went
over the cross bars for the extra
point.
Numerous Tiger Stars
Max Harrison and Stancil Whatley
played outstanding games at end and
it was practically impossible to move
them out of the play. In addition,
Jeffries, Jeffords, and Mac Eachern
were mainstays in the forward wall
for the Cubs. Auburn's backfield
manoeuvers were featured by the fast
running of Kenmore and Haynesworth
with Mercer doing a fine job of call­ing
signals. Harrison was the out­standing
star of the game with Beers,
Kirstein, Lackey, Woods, and Beard
also playing top-notch football.
The present freshmen gridders
should add some much needed strength
to the reserves for next year with per­haps
some of them seeing action on
the first string.
Gov*Graves
Speaks Here
On Taxing
Governor Bibb Graves Appears
On Program Of Convention
Of Alabama Farm Bureau
APPROVES REFERENDUM
Governor Opposes Return Of
Open Saloon But Approves
Of State Store Distribution
Governor Bibb Graves told 600 of
Alabama's leading farm men and
women here Wednesday morning that
he favored a state-wide prohibition re­ferendum
and the passage of a one
and one-half per cent privilege license
tax as a means of raising revenue to
permit reduction in present advalorem
taxes and to pay in full the State's
obligations for all educational agen­cies.
Unanimous vote of approval to the
Governor's program was given by the
capacity audience of delegates to the
15th annual meeting of the Alabama
Farm Bureau Federation and State
Council of Home Demonstration Clubs.
At the conclusion of his address the
entire audience approved the program
in full by a unanimous, rising vote.
Opposes Open Saloons
The Governor vehemently expressed
himself as opposing the return of the
open saloon or the licensing of private
liquor stores in case the state referen­dum
resulted in the modification of
present prohibition laws. Instead he
would favor a system of State-owned
stores, with 60 per cent of the revenue
going to the State general fund and 40
per cent to the cities and counties.
A sufficient amount of the revenue
from the one and_,one-ha.lf per cent
privilege or license tax would be plac
ed in a special educational trust fund
to take care of appropriations for
public schools, higher institutions of
learning, and the agricultural agen
cies. The remainder of the revenue
would be used to reduce the advalorem
taxes, he said.
The Governor estimated that a sys­tem
of state-owned liquor stores would
raise about one and one-half million
dollars, with the revenue from the
privilege tax amounting to some four
and one-half million.
Sphinx To Tap New

Pep Meet, Costume Parade Be
Staged On Saturday Morning
All plans have been completed for the costume parade and pep rally feat­uring
several speeches which will be held Saturday morning at 11 o'clock on
Toomer's corner. As prizes will be given to the freshmen wearing the most
original costumes, all participants are urged to begin planning for this event.
The parade, originally intended to be a pajama parade, will begin .at Lang­don
Hall and continue through town to a platform which is to be erected on
Toomer's corner. At this point speeches by Maurice Bloch, president of the
Alumni Association, Charlie Lawrence, president of the senior class, and
others will be heard. Several yells will be given as a prevue of the cheering
at the Auburn-Loyola game that afternoon.
Three Prizes Offered
A two-week's pass will be awarded
by Foreman A. Rogers, manager of
the Tiger Theatre, as first prize to
the freshman wearing the best
costume. A second prize of $2.50 will
be awarded by Blue Key, sponsors of
the Homecoming program. A third
prize to be determined later will also
be awarded..
Headcheerleader Bill Lee states, "I

Union Springs To
Play Auburn High
Team On Friday
Auburn High football team will
play its annual Homecoming game
Friday, November 20, against the
strong Union Springs, outfit. The
game will begin at 2:15 behind the
Girl's Gymn.
This annual game usually attracts
a huge number of townspeople and
visitors and the program this year
promises to be even more attractive.
Auburn High will have an organized
cheering section and a band parade
between the halves. The twenty-piece
band has attracted much attention
throughout East Alabama and is one
of the outstanding organizations of
its size in the state.
Auburn Is Favorite
Union Springs will be out to repay
the 24-13 licking handed them by the
local team, but with the Auburn squad
even stronger than' last year it is
doubtful if the visitors will fare much
better this year. Only two teams—
Opelika and Columbus—have been
able to defeat Auburn, and those by
very small margins.
"Bully" Hitchcock, coach of the
local eleven and formerly of Union
Springs, stated that he expected a
tough game but that his squad was in

Over 9 0 0 V o t e In Close Election
Today Held In The Student
Center; Polls Close At Three
WINNER POPULAR
Election Is Under Supervision
Of Elections Committee, Of
Which Powell Is Chairman
Molly Brasfield emerged victorious
over her three opponents, Virginia
Hubbard, Elizabeth Allison, and Mary
Carmack, and was named "Miss
Auburn" in the election held in the
Student Center today.
When the polls closed at three o'­clock
this afternoon, Miss Brasfield
had totaled 349 votes and her nearest
opponent, Miss Hubbard, has am-massed
334. The other two candidates
trailed.
There were 932 ballots cast in the
election. This number is exceedingly
good for this type of election. Each
candidate had a good number of sup­porters
backing her causing the final
outcome to be in doubt until the polls
closed.
Has Other Honors
Miss Brasfield is a Junior from De-mopolis
taking Commercial Art, and
has been given several other honors
during her enrollment in Auburn. She
led the Opening Dances last year and
was named "Princess" to the Christ­mas
Festival in Birmingham.
This election was sponsored by the
Plainsman and Glomerata and is an
annual affair. The picture of "Miss
Auburn" will appear in the yearbook
as such, according to Sam Gibbons,
editor, and an unofficial word to this
office was to the effect that her
picture should also appear in the
Beauty Section.
Powell Supervises Election
Tom Powell, Chairman of the Elec­tion,
supervised the election at the
request of the Plainsman and Glome­rata,
and although the final result
was very close, it is certain that there
was no chance for any fraud.
To be selected as "Miss Auburn" is
one of the highest honors that can be
paid a co-ed here, as it is a true rele-vation
of her real popularity on the
campus.
Aero Club To Carry Visitors
On Flights This Week-End
As their part of the homecoming
celebration this week-end the Auburn
Aero Club have made extensive plans
to provide an interesting program for
the many visitors expected for the oc­casion.
Three extra planes will be on hand
to carry visitors on flights over
Auburn on Saturday and Sunday. The
feature of the week-end however will
be the club's participation in the fes­tivities
preceding the football game
with Loyola on Saturday afternoon.
Though plans are not definite due to
the fact that permission must be ob­tained
from the Dept. of Commerce
the club hopes to put on a show over
the field before the game. Bouquets
of flowers will be dropped from the
planes and possibly the football to be
used in the game.
Bob Ward, of Center, Alabama, and
a student here, has already brought
his plane, a five passenger Stinson
monoplane, to the field which is locat­ed
between Auburn and Opelika.
Other planes will be obtained from
the Columbus Municipal Airport and
the usual low rates of the club will
prevail for rides.
In the past two weeks the club has
soloed two more members, Traylor In­gram,
and Tom Martin and one other
member, Bill Carruthers, has success­fully
passed the Dept. of Commerce
examination for a private pilot's
license.
On Friday evening the members of
the club will hold a srtseak fry for the
members, their dates and guests.
Though the present organization of
the club is less than three months old
its expansion has been so rapid that
it has attracted the attention of lead-,
ors in the aeronautical field through­out
the South. Due to the rapid in­crease
in its growth plans have been
made to obtain more equipment, de­tails
of which will be announced in an |
early edition of the Plainsman.
Fencing Team Beats
Birmingham Southern
The local fencing team got off to
a fine start by defeating Birmingham
Southern 13 to 3 Sunday morning in
Auburn's first intercollegiate match
in this sport.
The Auburn men that fenced in the
match are Jimmy Davis, the student
instructor, Bob Armstrong, Larry
Caruthers, and Rafael Garcia.
Caruthers opened up against Miller
of Southern and lost 4-5, but defeated
Ozier 5-1, King 5-3, and Grey 5-3.
Armstrong won all of his matches by
scores of 5-3, 5-4, 5-2, and 5-1. Garcia
lost to Miller 3-5, and Ozier 4r5, but
won from King 5-0, and Grey 5-3.
Davis added four points to the score
by winning from Miller 5-4, Ozier 5-3,
King 5-3, and Porter 5-3. Grey sub­stituted
for Porter for Birmingham
Southern.
Firestone Will Pick
Students For Course
According to J. R. Knisley of the
Personal Department of the Firestone
Tire and Rubber Company, the com­pany
will start another training class
for young men interested in training
for some phase of the Firestone in­dustry.
At the conclusion of. the
course, the students will be assigned
to one of the three departments, sales,
credit, or accounting, for further
study and development.
Auburn is fortunate in being one
of the leading universities from which
the Firestone Company intends to pick
the students for this course. At a
date to be announced later, a repre­sentative
of the Firestone Company
will be in Auburn to select the gradu­ate
from this school to participate in
the course.

Roosevelt Will Not Lose As
Have Other Politicians
Gerald W. Johnson writing in the
Baltimore Evening Sun, Thursday,
November 12, made the statement
that President Roosevelt was bound
to go down in popularity from this
time on. Also that his political power
should be lessened until at the end of
his second term we would be thankful
to be rid of this tyrant.
The writer points out that George
Washington was so unpopular at the
end of his second term that peopfe
were thanking God for being rid of
him, and that the death of Lincoln
was preached as a righteous act of
God in more than one pulpit. Thomas
Jefferson and Andrew Jackson were
losers in the end, stated Mr. Johnson.
We firmly believe that Roosevelt
will be classed with Martin Van
Buren and Mark Hanna who were
two of the most popular politicians in
the history of America. Mr. Johnson
writes of Roosevelt's dwindling hold
on the American people too soon after
the election to have much effect or to
be very convincing. Over twenty-five
millions have endorsed Roosevelt and
his policies, yet the writer tells us we
are supporting a man whom we will
probably be glad to rid ourselves of
within the next four years.
The Baltimore Evening Sun and
other anti-Roosevelt papers do not
seem to know when they are beaten.
Instead of forgetting the rift of pre­election
days, these newspapers seem
to be trying to divorce us from the
man and principles we have over­whelmingly
declared ourselves for.
Can Professional Football
Kill College Football?
"Can Pro Football Kill College
Football?" was the title of an article
appearing in the Sunday edition of
the Atlanta Journal.
James Kirkland, now in his forty-fourth
year as chancellor of Vander-bilt,
stated in the opening paragraph
that college football was doomed un­less
the growing encroachment of the
professional game is curbed. The vet­eran
educator drew a parallel be­tween
the threatened plight of foot­ball
and the fate that overtook col­lege
baseball many years ago when
professional baseball became the most
popular national sport.
"Twenty years ago it was openly
said that football never would become
professional," said the chancellor.
"But now there are professional
teams in the North and East draw­ing
10,000 to 20,000 to see every game
on their schedule."
And with this growing tendency
towards professional football is the
growing indifference towards foot­ball
on the part of the students, Dr.
Kirkland observes from the attitude
on the campus over which he walks
every day. "The fellows who organize
pep meetings have a hard time get­ting
the boys out at all now," he said.
Incidentally, the chancellor asserted
that the more serious scholar of to­day
is a smarter lad than the "Joe
College" of the previous generation.
Dr. Kirkland does not see football
being immediately "pushed off the
curriculum" but rather sees a gradual
decline into the limbo of forgotten
things. Unable to draw spectators
because of the growing interest in the
cash-and-carry teams of the profes­sional
leagues, small colleges, then
larger schools, will begin dropping
the game he believes.
On the other hand, Dr. L. M.. Brit-tain,
president of Georgia Tech sees
corlege football as a game that is here
to stay.
Dr. Brittain believes that there is
as much real college spirit as there
has ever been but also more sophisti­cation
among the students that would
tend to mislead on the subject of lack
of interest among students. "In the
South I think the old-fashioned col­lege
spirit and traditions have an im­portant
effect on the interest in foot­ball
. . . . and no professional teams
will ever attract as much interest as
college teams."
As for our part, we believe that
college football wiljh its color and
glamour has too tight a hold on the
sentiments of the average college stu­dent
and American citizen to be clas­sified
as "not wanted" for many years
to come. People come to college games,
not just to see eleven men battle eleven
men, but to see the schools' spirit, the
enthusiastic college students, and
every phase which is in a way con­nected
with college and college life.
The Pulitzers—The Outstanding .
Newspaper Family In Fifty Years
Joseph Pulitzer 3rd, grandson of
the noted donator of the Pulitzer
awards for journalism, has launched
his career as a newspaperman and
promises to follow in the footsteps of
his illustrious ancestor.
This event recalls to the minds of
a great many people, especially those
connected with journalism> the his­tory
and work of the Pulitzers dating
back to Joseph, ^Hungarian immi­grant,
who came to this country pen­niless
and died one of America's
greatest journalists and also one of
the richest. His estatewas estimated
to be worth over two and one-half
millions at the time of his death.
The beginning of the Pulitzer fame
and fortune might be dated to 1864
when a Hungarian youth came to
Hamburg, Germany, to obtain pas­sage
to America by enlisting in the
Union Army. It was his luck to be
assigned to a German officer as an
orderly and, consequently, have very
little chance to learn English. After
the Civil War came to end, Joseph
went to Hoboken, New York, and
from there to St. Louis. He was an­noyed
to find St. Louis more German
than Hoboken, he got a job working
on a ferry boat and tending mules. -
Finally Pulitzer had saved enough
to put in a feeble bid of $2,500 on the
St'Louis Dispatch which was being
auctioned off on the courthouse steps.
Much to his amazement and joy he
was high bidder.
From here his fame and fortune
grew by leaps and bounds. Pulitzer
merged the St. Louis Post with the
Dispatch and later acquired the New
York World from Jay Gould. Follow­ing
this the Evening World and the
Sunday World became his property.
He was now considered as the ablest
journalist in America.
When Joseph Pulitzer died in 1911
he left his fortune to three sons:
Ralph, who, meek and timid, managed
the New York papers and lost money
on each; Herbert, who hated the
newspaper work; and Joe, Jr., who
has added success to the St. Louis
Dispatch. The New York papers were
sold to the Scripps-Howard chain
while the St* Louis Dispatch was car­ried
on even to greater heights by
Joseph, Jr.
And now Joe 3rd comes on the
scene. He has traveled a great deal
and written some but has not yet had
a chance or time to live up to the ex­pectations
of his father. He is now a
cub reporter on the paper owned by
his grandfather, The St. Louis Dis­patch.
So we have a short history of a
family who has helped make Ameri­can
journalism what it is today.
Probably what has made this man
and his followers demand the respect
of the newspaper world for the last
half-century is'this statement Joseph
Pulitzer wrote which is found on a
placque in the St. Louis Dispatch
Building:
" . . . It will always fight for pro­gress
and reform, never tolerate in­justice
or corruption, always fight
demagogues of all parties, never be­long
to any party, always oppose
privileged classes and public plunder­ers,
never lack sympathy with the
poor, always remain devoted to the
public welfare; never be satisfied
with merely printing news; always
be drastically independent; never be
afraid to attack wrong, whether by
predatory plutocracy or predatory
poverty."

THIS TIME: DESTRUCTION IN SPAIN,
STRIKE ON THE PACIFIC COAST,
WAR IN THE LEGISLATURE,
TRIBUTE TO THE TIGERS.
ASHES: With the Federalists fighting to
the last ditch in Spain and the continued
destruction of property by the Fascists, it
seems that when the Fascists eventually win
the war there will be nothing left of Spain
but a bundle of corpses and piles of ashes
and tumbled down buildings to bury them
in. It is a pity for the fine, old historic
buildings to be wrecked as they are now be­ing
done. Spain is like a man sitting on a
linib and sawing it out from under himself.

WON'T TALK: Leaders of the striking
seamen have refused to arbitrate with may­ors
of eight seaport cities, the president, and
the secretary of labor. They insist on hav­ing
every issue granted as requested. While
employers have granted most of the re­quests,
the deadlock remains on the control
of hiring halls issue in which the employers
want partial control and the seamen insist
on full control. Meanwhile all perishable
food has been consumed in Juneau, Alaska,
and no more is available because of the
tie-up of shipping connections. Many stores
have already closed and a serious situation
may develop if direct action to end the
strike is not taken soon. Incidentally, this
strike was directly responsible for the small
attendance at the Auburn-Santa Clara foot-ball
game.
* * * *
FREE-FOR-ALL: Forces are massing
for the special session of the legislature next
Monday. When the day comes Montgomery
and the Capitol will be a shamble of con­flicting
groups and yells. With Alabama
merchants marching on Montgomery as
consumers are shouting, "No sales tax", the
anti-administration group shouting, "Econo­my,"
the wets shouting, "Repeal," the drys
shouting, "Sales tax," the merchants again
shouting, "Use the gasoline tax for schools,"
the din should certainly be terrific and
more especially loud in the governor's ears.
While the governor sits on a tack on the
fence and the legislators and lobbyists throw
themselves into the struggle, we, who are
going to school or teaching school, are
calmly awaiting the outcome.

TRIBUTE: Although the Auburn Tigers
met and were defeated by a superior foot­ball
team, tribute is due to them for the
spirit in which they fought. Overshadowed
by a 19-point lead, they did not give up but
fought until the last whistle blew, scoring
in the last fifteen seconds of play. Tribute
is also due the Auburn cheering section for
their support of the team until the end of
the game in sptte of the score. The fight
the Auburn Tigers put up against the Bayou
Tigers created football history in the South.
Incidentally, while the Tigers were engaged
in their struggle there was another notable
struggle in the air The struggle be­tween
Station WSFA and Station WHIS to
see whether football or bread would be
broadcast .over 1400 kilocycles. It ended in
a tie.

Personalities—By Son Thomas
Hard, Impersonal, And Exacting, Nevertheless, Dean Scott Has Been
Able To Build Up. The Science And Literature School
To One Of Auburn's Best
DEAN SCOTT is generally regarded on
the campus as "hard as nails," a title which
he has earned because he m'aintains such
high standards in the school of Science and
Literature of which he is the dean. With­out
a doubt, he is most thoroughly'disliked
by many of our campus playboys who are
here for a glorious vacation, but he is the
champion of the larger class who are here
to train themselves for work in the business
world. He is always ready and willing to
recommend most highly any man who has
proven himself capable of holding down a
position of trust and just as prompt in
refusing aid to the unworthy. As a result
of his untiring efforts, the school of Science
and Literature has developed into one of
Auburn's best and many large corporations
ask for Auburn graduates each year.
GRATITUDE: Then there is ample evi­dence
that Dean Scott has the right idea,
because he is always receiving letters from
old grads whom he helped to place . . . . the
gist of all of which are that they
are thoroughly satisfied with their jobs, and
that they most whole-heartedly thank the
dean for making them "dig" while at
Auburn.
EDUCATED: Dean's Scott's education
includes an A. B. degree from the Uni­versity
of Wichita, Kansas; a Master's at
the University of Texas; and a Ph. D. de­gree
from the University of Chicago. It is
said that the University of Chicago is
famous for its graduate school and that a
Doctor's degree from this institution is
highly coveted. Dr. Scott has been on the
faculties of many leading colleges including
the University of Arkansas, Texas A. and
M., Michigan State, and the University of
Oklahoma. He came to Auburn in 1927 as
dean of the school of Science and Litera­ture.
BARRISTER: In 1917 he was admitted
to the bar in Texas and started a law
practice, but was forced to give it up after
about a year because of poor health. How­ever,
he was successful as a lawyer since he
used the funds made during his year of law
practice to finance himself at the Universi­ty
while getting his Ph. D. degree.
FAN: Dr. Scott follows the big leagues
and probably knows more about baseball
than any other man in Auburn. In college
he was known as a "strike-out" pitcher and
in one game he was credited with eighteen
strike-outs. After finishing college he play­ed
semi-pro baseball for several years.
PROGRESSIVE: He is the first dean at
Auburn to start a system of writing home
letters of commendation to parents of stu­dents
who have done unusually good work
at Auburn. Since then the system has been
almost universally adopted by the other de­partments.
Another system which he is
given the credit for is that of the Dean's
keeping a record of each student in the of­fice
of the department in which he is regis­tered.
This progressive attitude has won
him the distinction of being 'the only Auburn
professor to be mentioned in both "Ameri­ca's
Who's Who" and "America's Young
Men".
HOBBYS: The Dean has quite an ex­tensive
library in which he spends much of
his spare time. He is an adept scholar in
the study of money and banking.' He also
likes to follow the trends of real estate and
predicts a land boom in the near future.
WHEN ASKED what his primary in­terest
is he said, "I am trying to help the
students by improving my department un­til
it reaches the high standard which the
present administration is working for and
which I am certain Auburn will ultimately
reach."
On Other Campuses—By The Wanderer
LEAP YEAR TECHNIQUE: Realizing
that Leap Year dates will be going on until
December 31st, males at Washington Uni­versity
offer these suggestions to all col­legians
:
Be sure to keep your escort waiting at
least twenty minutes.
Load your pockets with combs, powder
puffs, and mirrors. She will be disappoint­ed
if she hasn't anything to carry.
Of course she'll provide you with cig­arettes
and gum. Under no circumstances
light your own cigarette. It would make her
feel bad.
During intermissions in dancing, order at
least a double chocolate malted milk. She
doesn't want you to think she's a miser.
Be subdued and meek at all times. Re­member
that taxis are available at all hours.

ANYWAY, HE WAS THERE i A pro­fessor
at a certain southern college, wants
all his students to answer "here" instead of
"present" when he calls the roll. One pupil
always insisted on answering "present"
when he heard his name, much to the dis­pleasure
of the prof. One day the professor
was in an ill humor. He called the roll and
got the class-anticipated reply of "present"
from the insistent student. "Present hell,"
shouted the professor, "you're here like the
rest of us."

A FAR CRY FROM NEUTRALITY: In
a recent issue The Campus of the College of
the City of New York boasts an editorial
advocating College support for the Madrid
group in Spain. It seems that the CCNY
Student Council voted to set up a booth for
collection of funds and medical supplies for
the Spanish Republic. In spite of the vote,
nothing was done. The Campus, not want­ing
to let the movement die, asked for im­mediate
aid for the government forces.
Though the policy of giving aid to those
in need is commendable, help given to the
Spanish Republic is certainly not conducive
to the policy of neutrality which the United
States is following, and such help could lead
to international complications.

Letters To The Editor
Editor, The Auburn Plainsman
Dear Sir:
The grand array of students and accom­panying
entertainment features that LSU
presented in Birmingham left a very favor­able
impression with all who saw this dis­play,
and also made the Auburn students
realize what money means to a school.
Our cheerleaders, alumni and students did
all in their power to make Auburn's public
appearance equal to that of Louisiana State,
but to a large extent, our efforts were in
vain as the visiting student body took nearly
all honors for student showings. Their
money was responsible for the great parade
of students, bandsmen, animals and cars.
Although Auburn made an" excellent
showing on the gridiron, we unquestionably
slipped a notch in the opinions of the on-looking
public. We will continue to fall
short of other schools in this respect until
something is done about our financial
status. We have the makings of a great
school here, but our financial barrier pre­vents
our advancement along the lines in
which we are inferior. We have spirit and
men, but the third essential element is sore­ly
lacking.
Sincerely, L. F.
Editor, The Auburn Plainsman
Dear Sir:
One thing that some few students should
be reminded of is to be courteous to the
keepers of the desk at the library, and to
their assistants, who are students employed
by the National Youth Administration.
Although I work at the library, my work
is not at the desk and my job calls for no
direct service to the public: therefore, this
letter is not written as an expression of any
personal grievance.
The general attitude of the students has
been excellent, but there are some who seem
to regard the desk keepers as mere slaves,
and they act somewhat rudely when they
are asked to wait a few minutes while the
material is being sought. After all, these
N. Y. A. assistants, who work only ten hours
each week, can not be expected to become
so familiar with the arrangement of the li­brary
that they can locate material as soon
as it is asked for. Then, too, about half the
time the impatient customers fail to list the
catalogue number of the book wanted, thus
causing the assistant to spend a few minutes
searching for the number in the files before
he can even begin to find the book.
And the regularly employed ladies at the
library—they aren't being paid any fabu­lous
salaries to serve the students, and if
they were, they wouldn't be receiving but a
small part of it now, for they, like our pro­fessors,
also suffer from the failure of our
legislature to appropriate and distribute an
ample sum of money to the college. Then,
the least thing we can do is to try to express
our appreciation to them by treating them
civilly.
Sincerely, H. S.
Editor, The Auburn Plainsman
Dear Sir:

Today received a copy of the Peddy Port­folio
from Esquire. A book of blondes and
red heads with only two of the dark kind.
Find Peddy has the correct idea about the
blondes and brunettes but still wonder from
whence dashed his idea about the hysterical
headed set.
Peddy's idea of their looking better than
the rest, without clothes on, is correct, but
try and find one of them as scantily clothed
as the blonde or brunette. A gal with coral
colored curls has more ideas of her own
than an oak tree has acorns.

Anthony's infatuation for Cleopatra com­pares
sparingly with my devotion for hot-dogs

Anyway, it's a pleasure to eat a hot dog
and not have an elephant step on your foot
or have a fly ball pop you in the eye at
ninety paces. Circuses and ball games may
be upstanding and delightful, too . . . . but
a hot dog's place is a nice quiet beanery
where one can take time to wipe the mus­tard
out of his whiskers instead of letting
it run, while casting a pop bottle at an um­pire.

Ain't nothing like having a big time, and
inviting some gal at the dance to go to

Colleges and universities, according to a

and about half the cut in public funds has

Article On Adult Education
Published By Dr. Showalter
Dr. B. R. Showalter, director of ex­tension
teaching at Auburn, discussed
"Adult Education" in an article ap­pearing
in the Opelika News last week
in connection with the nation-wide
celebration of American Education
Week.
Dr. Showalter says the first classes
for 'adults were organized for the
foreign-born. Later lyceums were or­ganized
where adults met to discuss
the pressing problems of the time.
Still later vocational subjects were
taught to adults.
"The objective of adult education
are threefold: recreation, general edu­cation,
and occupational training",
says Dr. Showalter.
According to Dr. Showalter, there
are many agencies through which
adult education is carried on. Some
of the more common are: the agricul­tural
extension service, college and
university extension divisions, and vo­cational
schools and clubs.

greater majority of these plants are
used in medicinal practice of today.
One of the most interesting of all
drugs mentioned in the Scriptures is
Mandrake. This plant furnishes a
root which is considered to be the old­est
hypnotic known to man. It is
thought to have been the drug em­ployed
at the time that God caused a
deep sleep to fall upon Adam, at which
time a rib was extracted from which
Eve was created."
Mr. Blue gave the second talk of
the evening on "Famous Discoveries
By Famous Pharmacists." He said,
"One of the greatest of all discoveries
by pharmacists was that of' Morphine.
This epoch-making discovery was
made by Friederich W. Serturner in
1816. Codeine, Hydrogen Peroxide,
Atropine, Oxygen, Chlorine, and many
other important preparations and ele­ments
were discovered by pharmacists.
Mr. Lamar gave the final talk of
the evening. His topic was "The
Pharmacist and the Public." He said,
"The service rendered by the phama-cists
to the immediate patrons is a
direct, personal and confidential one,
but is preceded by a general, imper­sonal
and world-wide service to which
many arts and sciences are contribu­tory."

PICKUP
AND DELIVERY
S A FLAT with punch and results—a winning
touchdown combination for the railroads! It has to
do with the handling of less-than-carload ox pack­age
freight. Some railroads have gone into motor
trucking. Others have developed large metal con-tamers
that can be swung on and off flat can. Omen have
provided rail transfer for loaded trucks or trailers. • All
have combined at length in offering a complete free pick-up
and delivery service, using motor trucks to and from freight
stations. This reduces inter-city trucking and assures railway
responsibility for the whole movement at no increase over
the previously existing rate for the rail part of the movement
alone. • The Illinois Central pioneered among the railroads
in giving free pick-up and delivery universal application.
This railroad also led in offer­ing
less-than-carload freight
service via passenger train at
•
freight rates, in providing free
pick-up at the feed-lot for live­stock
awaiting consolidation
into carloads for movement to
market, in establishing over­night
freight service between
points as far apart as Chicago
and Memphis. • In such ways
an alert railroad makes its own
"breaks" for the' touchdown
that insures victory in business.
REMINDER...
Modern railroads operate on
definite principles—principle!
which have been developed by
sifting theories through facts.
One major railway principle is
tins—it payg to phage the pub­lic.
Investments in convenience,
ooniort, safety, speed are sound
investments.
As users of railway service and
as the educational beneficiaries
of railway taxes and security en­dowments,
young people should
find much of interest in the ap­plied
theories of our progressive
railroads.

Present Is Critical
Age, Says Dr. Irvine
Dr. Paul Irvine, professor of Edu­cation
at Auburn, said in a recent
article in the Opelika Daily News in
celebration of American Education
Week, that we are living in a critical
period in American history. The radio,
electricity, movies, and magazines
have changed home life. School
methods of a generation ago do not
fit a person for a modern democratic
life. Modern life has given to every
man a great increase in time that he
may call his own. He should be able
to use this time to his own advant­age.
"This changing life calls for a new
type of school", Dr. Irvine said. "The
value of education is measured by its
contribution to society according to
the new theory. The old idea was to
force disagreeable and useless tasks
upon students irregardless of their
value.
"Teachers have improved the social
worth of what they teach by omitting
useless topics and by including appli­cations
to the probable experiences of
life.
"There will be no violent curriculum
revolution but schools are on the way
to providing an education that will
more effectively fit youth for the life
they must live," Dr. Irvine said.
Opelika High Beats
Auburn In Hard Game
Coach "Bully" Hitchcock's Auburn
High gridders emerged from a hard
fought game with the Opelika Bull­dogs
last Friday night on the short
end of a 7-6 score.
The closeness of the final score in­dicates
accurately how close the con­test
was. Opelika only gained victory
through getting the- breaks through­out
the tilt. The first of these breaks
came late in the first period when a
blocked punt deep in Tiger territory
gave the Bulldogs a scoring oppor­tunity
which they utilized and added
the margin of victory by passing over
the final white stripe.
Straight Football Played
Both teams concentrated on straight
football tactics with little passing and
no razzle dazzle at all. Superb block­ing
and tackling on the part of both
elevens characterized the contest with
Captain Abe Chrietzberg, Auburn
center, taking all honors on the de­fensive
as he made over 90% of the
tackles for his team. The Smyer
brothers were outstanding on the of­fensive
with Turner and Fitzpatrick
ably assisting. A great deal of credit
is due Preer, Tiger quarter, who show­ed
excellent judgement in calling
plays.
Much color was added to the tilt by
the cheering sections of both sections
with Auburn High's crack student
band competing with the Opelika
Legion's Junior Drum and Bugle
Corps for musical honors. The Auburn
supporters were led by Mary Ella
Funchess, Elizabeth Roberts, and
Christine Blackburn, whose efforts
moved the rooters to give a fine ex­hibition
of organized cheering.
Mr. John W. Heisman, first full-time

<« Court Of Wisdom"
Being Considered
Bethlehem, Pa. — According to
claims made by Dr. Edgar S. Furniss,
dean of the Graduate School of Yale
University, hostility to higher educa­tion,
as shown by attempts to suppress
intellectual freedom, is indirectly the
responsibility of the university itself.
Dean Furniss holds the university
responsible for the prevailing opposi­tion
to higher education because of its
failure to instill the tolerant attitude
and the ability for real thought in its
graduates, many of whom are now
leaders of most of the movements for
suppression.
"Heresy-hunting associations are
supported by those who have passed
through our institutions of higher
learning. Demand for the regulation
of the intellectual life of the universi­ty
comes chiefly from its own gradu­ates."
Miami University Is
On Lean Budget Now
Oxford, O.—Miami University is
operating on a lean budget these days
as a result of Governor Martin L.
Davey's veto of appropriations
amounting to $76,900 for 14 items
necessary for the efficient function of
the school. Miami has no funds for
library books, supplies, general equip­ment,
repairs, and wages for student
assistants and ground workers.
W. P. Roudebush, secretary of the
university's board of trustees, states
that the school hasn't the authority to
incur expenses on credit and that it
will have to struggle along without
these services and supplies at present.
"It will paralyze the operating and
educational activities of the universi­ty,"
he said.

ACPFEATURESERVICE
Around Washington
By ARNOLD SERWEB
Madison, Wis.—It has been about
three years since I was last in this
town. That is not a very long absence
but it has been sufficiently long for a
number of changes to take place on
the campus of the University of Wis­consin.
Of course, every alumnus returning
to his Alma Mater is apt, following a
hasty glance at her, to say, "The old
girl certainly isn't what she used to
be!"
Whereas, quite often the truth
would be much better expressed if Al­ma
Mater glanced at her returning
son, and having the power of speech,
retorted, "Well, son, who says you're
still your old svelte self!"
Put it this way then. We've both
changed. But even allowing for that,
I still see some marked differences be­tween
the University of today and
that of several years ago. For one
thing, I think the temper of the stu­dent
body has changed.
And then thinking it over I'm not
so sure. Wisconsin still seems to have
the same percentage of lethargic stu­dents,
the same number of under­graduate
Tories, moderates, liberals,
pinks and reds. Wisconsin still has

But somehow the different factions
are less noisy than they used to be,
the different types more variable with­in
the type. I attribute the first to the
fact that formerly these factions had
a well spotlighted field on which to
play their rough and often bruising
games with each other. Lately the
field has been cut down in size and
the bright glare has been dimmed.

Prof. Pressley Talks
About Farm Chemergy
Some of the major developments in
industrial chemistry of importance to
the South were discussed before the
Thursday meeting of the Auburn Ro­tary
Club at the Thomas Hotel by
Pro^ W. L. Pressley, science teacher
at Lee County High School.
Following his address Prof. J. A.
Parrish, principal of the high school,
told the club that 85 per cent of the
Lee County High graduates since 1914
had gone to college. Results of a sur­vey
conducted by him indicate that
the 514 graduates are now engaged in
the following occupations: teaching,
farming, engineering, business, nurs­ing,
medicine, and law.
Among the chemical developments
which are proving beneficial to the
southern region, Professor Pressley
mentioned the new use of cotton as a
highway paving material and the pos­sibility
of producing cork and larger
quantities of tung oil in the South.
The United States imports annually
34 million dollars worth of tung oil
from China, said Prof. Pressley, in
spite of the fact that the American
produced tung oil is superior. In dis­cussing
the expansion of the paper in­dustry
in the South, he said that seven
large mills are now under construc­tion.
The fact that fine quality paper
can be produced from southern pine
indicates that the paper industry will
reach huge proportions in the South,
he said.
