Semi-Weekly Plainsman F r i d a y I s s ue W$t Auburn plainsman W. A. A. Dance Tonight VOLUME LX TO F O S T E R THE A U B U R N S P I R IT AUBURN, ALABAMA, FRIDAY, JANUARY 15, 1937 NUMBER 30 Many Girls Are Mailed Prom Bids Eight Fraternities Agree To Have House Parties To Accommodate Crowd Of Girls "—And She Sings Like She Looks" 600 BIDS SENT Bid Cards May Still Be Filled Out A s Committee Will Hold Box Open Until Sunday All bid cards for visiting girls have been taken up and 600 invitations mailed out by the Social Committee. To accommodate the large number of girls expected to attend the Junior Prom eight fraternities have agreed to have house parties. All dances have been sold to campus organizations. Although the number of bids already mailed out ranks equal and above the numbers of former years, the Social Committee has arranged for a single bid box to be left at the Tiger Drug Store to give students who failed to fill out their bid cards soon enough a last chance to have an invitation mailed. The box will be held open until Sunday. No bids may be filled out after that time. Chairman Vernon Merritt urges all students who wish to fill out cards to do so immediately so a more definite idea of the number of girls coming may be determined. Eight Frats Plan House Parties The eight fraternities Tvho have agreed to have house parties for the dances are Lambda Chi Alpha, Sigma Chi, Phi. Delta Theta, Sigma Nu, Theta Chi, Pi Kappa Alpha, Alpha Tau Omega, and Sigma Phi Epsilon. at This is the largest number of house parties ever to be held at one set of Mid-Term dances. All visiting girls will be accommodated at these houses. As, is customary all dances in the set of seven have been sold to various campus organizations. The schedule of dances is: Thursday night, Vikings, a Junior honor organization; Friday morning, Blue Key; Friday afternoon, Keys Interfraternity; Friday night, Junior Class Prom; Saturday morning, Tau Beta Pi; Saturday afternoon, Scabbard and Blade; and Saturday night, "A" Club. This is the first year the "A" Club has bought a night dance and the Vikings is the first society of its nature to carry through two years. Tickete for the dances are now on sale by members of the Social Committee at $10 for the entire set of seven dances. Prices of other ticket groups aside from season tickets will be announced later. Next Term Dances Are Now Listed AH Frats, Sororities, Organizations, And Clubs Have Been Assigned Dates For Dances CALENDAR ARRANGED Thirty-six Dances Have Been Scheduled; Others Wishing D a t e s See Callan At Once Virginia Sims, voted America's most beautiful vocalist, will appear here with Kay Kyser and his orchestra January 28, 29, 30. Kyser has Sully Mason, Art Wright, Bill Stoker, and I«ch Kabibble as other featured vocalists. - Aero Club To Extend Its Original Program Due to the success of the original membership drive the Auburn Aero Club has decided to continue the program for another month with the same inducements that featured the original drive. Among the new members joining the club during the past month are: Edward Taylor, James Calloway, William Carroll, Graham Savage, and James Sharman. There have been several new members also obtained from Opelika, Fairfax and other adjacent towns. The total membership of the club now numbers nearly forty students, all of whom are active flying members. Under the direction of Jack Flood, instructor of the club, a large majority of the club members have already made their first solo flights and are now building up time toward a Department of Commerce license. Have New Plane The club has obtained a new plane to handle the greatly increased amount of student flying. Delivery of the new plane will be made about the middle of April. Being of a different type the plane will enable the students to obtain a variety of experience in handling various ships. Already recognized as one of the largest organizations of its kind in the country the club has grown even beyond the hopes of its founders. Having compiled an unusual record of (Continued on Page 4) Auburn Faces Sewanee Quint In Two Games This Week-End Tigers Meet Sewanee Tonight And Tomorrow In First Coll e g e Game; To Return Game Coach Ralph Jordan and his squad of basketball Tigers entrained today for Sewanee where they will meet the University of the South in a brace of tilts tonight and tomorrow night. Since their loss to the Lanett Athletic Club early in the season, the Plainsmen have been coming along at a rapid gait and had little difficulty in setting back Fort Benning by the score of 35-20 last Saturday night. Much of this improvement has been due to the fact that considerable strength was added by the addition of several football players, Joel Eaves, Malvern Morgan, Tommie Edwards, Rex McKissick, and Frank Hamm, all of whom were kept busy on the gridiron for the first two weeks of the season. Eaves Good Leader Joel Eaves, captain of the team, has a steadying, influence on the men which leads to smooth teamwork and he is certain to account for a fair percentage of the points. Malvern Morgan, sophomore forward, has developed into one of the best men on the team, possessing an uncanny ability to ring up double-deckers, although he is considerably handicapped on the floor by his weight which hovers around the 200-mark. Tommie Edwards, excellent soph center, and Rex McKissick, junior forward, are two valuable members of Coach Jordan's outfit and have (Continued on Page 4) W. A. A. Will Stage Dance Tonight, 9:30 The. Woman's Athletic Association will sponsor the second girl-break dance of the year tonight at the Girls' Gymnasium from 9:30 to 1:00. Music will be furnished by Doc Moseley and the Auburn Knights. This association gives four dances of this type each year and in the past they have proved to be a success. The funds derived from these affairs are used to buy athletic equipment for girls. Several features are planned for the dance tonight, including two W. A. A. lead-outs, three no-breaks, and a Frosh girl lead-out. Pitts Hotel To Have Sign 100 Feet In Air Pitts Hotel being erected on the lot adjoining the Plainsman office is, according to a statement made by the owners, to have a huge neon sign on top of the building that may be seen for miles. The sign will be 100 feet in the air. This new building, which is to be Auburn's largest, is to be three stories high, and is to have running water, both hot and cold in each of its 30 rooms. In addition to the hotel there will be erected a building on each side for store occupancy. Provision is to be made later for the construction of a theatre seating 800. 6th Annual LR.C, Conference Plans Being Completed By Auburn Group By KIRTLEY BROWN Student representatives and faculty advisers of the 128 International Relations Clubs in the Southeast will gather here for the 6th annual International Relations Clubs Conference on February 19 and 20. More than 200 delegates will attend. Featured speakers will be the noted Englishman and authority on international affairs, Major C.

Stuart Wright, Of Peace Group, Is Visitor Here By ROBERT JOHNSTON Seeking to enlist Auburn students in a campaign to promote peace and take the profits out of war, Mr. Stuart Wright, field secretary of the Emergency Peace Campaign, spent several days on the Auburn Campus in conference with faculty and student leaders. The Emergency Peace Campaign is sponsored by outstanding leaders in civic and religious thought in all parts of the country. Dr. Harry Emerson Fosdick, pastor of the Riverside Church, New York, is the chairman of the national board. Others include William A. White, editor; Ivan Lee Holt, president of the Federal Council of Churches in America; John R. Mott, president of the International YMCA; Grace Morrison Poole, past president of the General Federation of Women's Clubs; distinguished leaders .from practically every denomination, and the presidents of many prominent colleges. Organized on 200 Campuses Mr. Wright representing the Youth Division of the Peace movement stated in a meeting of students Monday night that there were Peace Councils already organized on more than 200 college and university campuses of the nation. Councils have been started on the campuses of University of Alabama, Alabama College, Huntingdon, and Troy State Teachers College, in Alabama; and plans are underway for the beginning of the movement at Howard, Birmingham-Southern, Jud-son, Jacksonville Teachers, and Florence Teachers. At a meeting Wednesday morning, of deans and faculty members, including Mr. P. O. Davis, Dean Petrie, Dean Scott, Col. Wallace, Dean Dobbs, Miss Walston, Rev. Hay, Rev. Lee, (Continued on Page 4) Six Are Picked To Fill Co-Ed Beauty Section Men Are Named By Barnett For Glee Club Tour Early in February the Auburn Glee Club will make its first yearly tour which will extend over a period of seven days and carry the club to Montevallo, Montgomery, S e 1 m,a, Marion, Tuscal»osa, and Birmingham, i At a recent meeting the following men were chosen by Director Lawrence Barnett to make the trip.

Vikings Buy Dance; Plan Annual Banquet Vikings, Junior social organization, is completing its plans to have a banquet and the Thursday night dance during the Junior Prom. This is the only organization of its nature that has survived longer than the original function for which it was organized. Vikings was organized by Jarvis Brown and Max Welden last year before the Sophomore Hop for which Earl Burtnett and his orchestra played. The dance and banquet sponsored by the society was such a marked success that the members wished to continue its function at the set of dances given for, the class during the Mid-Term in the next year. So at their first meeting this year, the members agreed to have a banquet and dance. A call meeting will be held at the Student Center Friday night at 6:45. All members are requested to attend this last meeting as urgent and important business is to be discussed. Interfrat Head HAMll^TOiol C/4 A. I-. A /s/ Ham Callan, president of the Interfraternity Council, has released dates for all dances to be held next semester. Players Cast Coming Work Last Tuesday Four Heavier Roles Are Cast For "Wings Over Europe"; Play Calls For All-Male Cast N O T I C E ! Anyone interested in going out for polo may do so by seeing Captain Klepinger at the Military Office in Samford Hall sometime before the end of the semester. By FRANKLYN WARD Casting, for the four heavier roles for the forthcoming production of the Auburn Players, "Wings Over Europe" was held in the Y-Hut last Tuesday evening. Dawson Mullins was awarded the role of Walter Grantley, Prime Minister of the British Empire; Lem Edmonson, Jr., the role of Evelyn Arthur, Secretary of State for Foreign Affairs; Alvin Vogtle, that of Richard Stapp,. Secretary of State for War; and Arthur Elsberry that of Francis Lightfoot. The casting for the fourteen remaining roles will be held the first week of the second semester. Anyone interested in securing one of these roles is urged to be present at the try-outs in the Y-Hut at that time. Setting in Downing Street The three act play "Wings Over Europe" with an all-male cast is a futuristic melodrama of scientific progress. The setting for the play is within the home of the Prime Minister at No. 10 Downing Street, London. The novelty of the play lies in the fact that the action takes place on any morning of the present day, when at last man has discovered a means of controlling the destiny of the world. He holds the power to destroy the. world or on the other hand to use this power to the advantage of humanity as a whole. His discovery and the use he makes of it presents a most interesting and intriguing story; a story that one who lives in this modern day with scientific progress almost at its height cannot afford to miss. Senate Expected To Pass Liquor Tax Today As Chichester Tax Is Deferred By HOWARD WORKMAN As the suit on the Ellis gross receipts bill goes into its second day, the hearing on the Chichester two per cent sales tax has been postponed until the 16th legislative day and the Senate, today, is expected to pass a liquor taxation and referendum bill. On a motion of Rep. Chichester, author of the bill, the House of Representatives voted 50 to 43 to postpone action on the two per cent sales tax bill until the 16th legislative day, which will fall on next Tuesday unless the Legislature adjourns for the inauguration of President Roosevelt. Jeff Beeland, president of the Merchants Association of Alabama, said that the postponement was not made because of weakness of the supporting forces as they are in as good shape now as they will be next week or any. other time. After a conference last night in the Governor's office which 23 senators attended it appeared certain that a liquor taxation bill with a state-wide referendum attached would pass the Senate today. The heated discussion of the conference lasted for two hours. The form of the bill was worked out in the conference. It will provide for the referendum and that, provisions of the Senate substitute to the House state stores bill will apply only, in the event that the state goes wet, to those counties which vote wet, and not to those which vote dry. Conference Committee Appointed On the passage of this bill it is expected that a conference committee will be appointed to consider the bill and amendment and that a delay of a week or more may be sustained in the event that the Legislature ad- (Continued on Page 4) Misses Brasfield, Campbell, Edwards, Joiner, Murphey, And Smith Are Chosen IS CONSIDERED HONOR Marks First Time Beauty Section Has Been Composed Entirely Of Women Students Molly Brasfield, Jean Campbell, Sadie Edwards, Iris Joiner, Netty Murphrey, and Sara Smith are the co-eds that have been selected to appear in the Beauty Section of the Glomerata. The names were released by Editor Sam Gibbons last night. Each of the young ladies chosen for this honor is- popular on the campus and takes an active part in social and school affairs. Molly Brasfield, of Demopolis, is to lead the section by virture of her being elected "Miss Auburn" last Fall. She is a Junior in the School of Architecture and Allied Arts. Jean Campbell, of Birmingham, is a member of Theta Epsilon, Cardinal Key and Sphinx, honor groups for coeds, and the W. A. A. She will graduate in Home-Economics in May. Sadie Edwards, of Union Springs, was the only Freshman to receive this honor. Miss Edwards is enrolled in the School of Education. Iris Joiner, of Dadeville, is a Senior in the School of Home-Economics. Netty Murphey, of Chattanooga, Tenn., is president of Sphinx, a member of the W. A. A. and lead the Mid- Term dances her sophomore year. Miss Murphey is a student in Business and will graduate in May. Sara Smith, of Union Springs, is an irregular student in Commercial Art. Full Page Pictures Gibbons revealed that a full page would be given to the picture of each of these co-eds and two sheets at front and back would make the section ten pages. This is the first time that the entire Beauty Section has been composed entirely of women students; the idea appears to have met the approval of the student body. It should be remembered that these co-eds were selected by faculty members of the Art Department and that their word was final. It was thought at first that a greater number of representatives would be selected but Gibbons stated that the Glomerata budget would not be able to stand but a half-dozen full-page photos. Work Progresses As to the other sections of the yearbook, the work is coming along nicely with over 220 pages already sent to Benson Printing Company, Nashville, publishers of the annual. There has been space given over to several or- (Continued on Page 4) Morrow Is New F.F.A. President, Not Baker The following story should have appeared in Wednesday's paper. Due to a mistake the story had it that E. M. Baker was elected president of the F. F. A. chapter for the coming semester, but D. G. Morrow was named the new head and Baker is the retiring president. The following story should have appeared : D. G. Morrow, of Hamilton, Auburn senior in agricultural education, has been elected president of the Collegiate Chapter of the Future Farmers of America to serve for the second semester. Morrow succeeds E. M. Baker, also a senior in agricultural, education, and will serve with the following other officers: Charles Glasscock, vice-president, Hamilton; L. H. Little, secretary, Alexandria; and W. P. Moss, treasurer, Notasulga. Membership of the Collegiate FFA Chapter is composed of more than 100 students who studied vocational agriculture in high school. Major project of the Chapter during its first year of existence is the establishment of a student cooperative book exchange which has proved highly successful.

Well, Read What We Think Issue number 30—meaning we are half through with our job of editing The Plainsman and we want to stop for a minute to see just what kind of a paper we've been editing. Here's the way we figure it up thus far: The editorials are out-of-date, weak, poorly written, and are seldom read except, possibly, when one irritates a chance reader and he calls it to the attention of more subscribers who heartily agree that the editor is all wrong. Our news-stories are the same type that have been running for the past decade with changes only in names and dates. They are, as a rule, dull and old. Once in a great while we see a reader glancing below the headlines— not often. Our columns: Cats and Canaries is too "catty". Its contents are not understood by a large enough per cent of the readers. "Before Tomorrow" is read by an exceedingly few. It is a hard column to write because it deals too much with politics and national affairs. The author should be a political economist. "Pete's Epistle" is rather clever but he is beginning to deal with persons on the campus too much and turning the column into a "gossip" letter. And Pete needs another semester of Freshman English. "With Other Colleges" has originality as its redeeming feature. It is not "clipped" as are so many similar columns in other school papers. It is good, light reading. "Thunderations" is written too much for a few but is very well read. This "grandpa" column may broaden someday. "On Your Radio" is all right if you are an orchestra enthusiast. And so you have the editor's view on the paper he edits—on paper. We vouch it is seldom done. We hope we make no enemies by this personal view of the columns. Our folks are doing their best and we are endeavoring to improve the paper in every way. In Need Of Arithmetic And Not An Organization The newest of the new-fangled college organizations is the T. C. L. A. C. A., or the "Two Can Live As Cheaply Association." This group has been recently founded at the University of Oregon by two married couples, Mr. and Mrs. Reinhart Knudsen and Mr. and Mrs. Howard Kessler. A picture appeared in the Collegiate Digest on Wednesday showing the couples busily preparing a meal. It is the intention of the founders to promote chapters at other colleges in the interest of their kind. All we wish to say is "Keep it over there" and "Oh, yeah!" Of course the idea is just a novelty and marriage in college may be all right if the parties concerned are financially able. But don't join the T. C. L. A. C. A. and expect to still get by on that allowance from home. Andrew Smith's Russian Novel Tells Of Labor Conditions Andrew Smith's recent novel, "I Was a Soviet Worker" gives an amazing account of working conditions as they stand in Russia today. The whole world has been anticipating the outcome of the national planning put into effect by this large European power. The Soviet government forbids investigation of their system; thus there is very little authentic information obtainable. Smith makes public several figures he compiled while employed as a machinist in Moscow. As a coal miner in Pennsylvania, Smith was a strong advocate of Communism as a national system, as well as were many of his co-workers. He kept hearing unbelievably good reports of how well the people were provided for under the share the wealth regime in Russia, so he set sail for that country, the worker's paradise. His observations upon reaching Russia are altogether contrary to the propaganda that had been conveyed him as a worker in America. The perfect working conditions, the old-age pension, "classless Russia," and the many other features claimed by the leaders were in the main, false. The pension of which Russia boasts amounts to 17 rubles per month which is equivalent to 60c in our money. Worker's wages averaged 125 rubles or 4 dollars per month. Educational facilities are inadequate. Inefficient hospitalization is leading to the death of many who could recover with a very small amount of medical care. The streets are filled with beggars whose families are hungry. Workers are forced to pay voluntary taxes amounting to over 15% of their wages in many cases. The average working day varies form eight to sixteen hours in length. There is a sharp class discriminaion between workers and the governing body. There is a general feeling of dissatisfaction among the people, but fear x>f punishment compels them to stifle their protests. The Russian plan supported by so many workers of this country is not at all like the propagandists picture it. The life of our lowest classes is as high in culture as their highest. Conditions over there are not fit for human existence. The theory that a nation's people fare better with the government looking out for their affairs is disproved by the Russian system in practice. Their plan must be unsound or a nation so abundant in natural resources would be bounding in prosperity. More than ever now, we should cry down with other systems and on with the democracy that has made our nation the king of nations. A Boyish Plea To Hit-And-Run Drivers A few days ago an unknown person in Birmingham, either cruel or thoughtless, hung a dark cloud over the happy life of a twelve year old Birmingham boy. This person ran over and killed the boy's little dog and, instead of stopping to see what he had done, sped away from the scene of the pitiful sight. The little boy, broken-hearted at the loss of one of his closest friends and companions, wrote a letter to The Birmingham News begging that drivers be more careful. The boy's childish pleading words produce, or should produce, in the hearts of their readers a sincere sympathy and understanding in the loss which seems so terrible to the owner of the little dog. Here is the letter printed in full: "Say, you hit-and-run drivers. The one who hit my dog on Fifth Avenue, South. Won't you drive more careful? Am only 12 years old. But Thump, my dog, gave me lots pleasure after school. He gone now. But my heart awful sad. And it awful hard for me coming home after school not having Thump greet me. Just Buddy." There does seem to be an excessive amount of carelessness in the case of dogs which sometime run out into the street; they can be avoided with very little trouble. Surely, everyone who reads Buddy's little boyish plea will be more careful of other people's pets. This letter should be reprinted in every newspaper in the country to call to the minds of people the deep pain which every child feels when his favorite pet is killed. Before Tomorrow By JAMES BUNTIN THIS TIME: RUSSIA'S CALENDAR, MR. SIMPSON SUES, 29 DIE,, REORGANIZATION, W. A. A. With the last compiled story in retrospect, a premature spring in the air, and a probable theme, "May I Have The Next Romance With You", in study racked (?) brains, one has to grapple with the current facts and ideas for the next digest. The selected material arranged below serves for the facsimile of the digest BEFORE TOMORROW. * * * * WHY the Russians of the old order still persist in celebrating New Year 13 days later than appears feasible in our mode of thought is partially explained by the fact that they still use the old Julian calendar. Then too, one might think of them as being just that far behind their more modern Communist brothers in thought and action. Most of the old order are now conserving their once exalted positions in exile. » * * * WHEISf there is an affair like that of Edward pro Wally and one which causes as much universal consternation and interest there is sure to be some aftermath. Mr. Earnest Simpson is now suing a prominent English woman for slander. He charges that she has vociferated quite broadly that he received a large sum of money in connection with his former wife's romance. * * * * WHERE 29 deaths, a large number injured, and not mentioning the other incidentals concerning the tragedies of the West Coast Air Lines within the last 30 days confronts us, it is a matter that is due a great deal of investigation and attempted adjustment. It is expected that the national government will take some drastic steps in relation to the matter. * * * * WHAT' President Roosevelt disclosed in his address to Congress as to his course of action is set forth in his assertion that Democracy could succeed in diverse times as other types of government have. He is asking for a tremendous reorganization program, especially in relation to departments and to executive power. * * * * HOW the local gigolos will react to the intrigues of our CO-EDS (once saturized as Scheming Leaping Lenas) Friday night at the W. A. A. dance might be expected after considering the atmospheric conditions and . . . . well other unexplainables. But the immediate and the preceding above has gone far enough in time and space. Merci. Cats and Canaries Will Chili Allen please take Marie Louise and "Peanut" with him on one of his nightly rides and leave the latter. * * * * Why are Terry Mosley and Louie B. known as the "cooperation"?????? * * * * Fred Porter is worrying whether the light of his life, from Florida, will be here for the dances—perhaps, he sent other bids? * * * * The old oriental custom seemed to prevail at the "Windmill" Wednesday night— everyone was sitting on the floor including Jitters Lewis. Sam Lou, June, and Wilton. * * * * SLASH !->Margie Cole and Frances Wilson are good proof that the Chi Omega Xmas was just one big "cut up." * * * * Riddle—what Theta Chi is double talking what K. D. pledge (he has beautiful eyes) and what K. D. is doing the same to a handsome blond Phi Delta? (unless cost of a soda is paid—names will appear next week.) * * * * HERE COMES THE BRIDE—so we hear—will be played for E. Ingram and a certain Chem. prof., but—it won't be for three years yet. * * * * CONTRARY TO RUMORS—Pugh is not an atheist but is quite interested in a home town "preacher". (Well, Frank, remember "grandma"). * * • * ADVICE TO LOVELORN To James Buntin and C. W. Tompson: Spring is here, and the temptation is great, lads, but remember, he's still president of the Executive cabinet. * * * * If Andy Elliot and his playmates are going to take over the "Windmill"—what will the five-hundred across the tracks do—for this hot weather? * * * * Pat Tucker has the most twinkling eyes around the village and Sis Carmack the nicest nose. * * * * NOMINATION FOR SUNNIEST DISPOSITION— Margy Ann Flott. Youth Faces A Catastrophe EDITORIAL FEATURE—By JOAN METZGER Today youth faces the greatest catastrophe since 1914—a world war. Must we permit munitions fortunes to dally ruthlessly with our futures? Are we to accept the statement that war is pre-destined and inevitable? Must we exchange our lives and rights to happiness for chemical warfare and no man's land? Perhaps I'm emotional if I fail to picture domestic or national tranquillity in a country where gas masks hang cosily in the nursery or where bomb-proof cellars are as essential to homes as the latest electrical gadgets. The basketed fragments of humanity, clinging to life in veteran's hospitals through eternities of misery are not the gloriously fabricated flowers of youth's blossoming dreams. These men might have been spared the agony of purposeless existence, but, less fortunate than their brothers sleeping under five million white crosses, they lived. Crude statistics show that 126,000 Americans, 5,623,800 Frenchmen, and 3,000,000 Englishmen forfeited their lives for "democracy" in the Great War. There are no statistics recording the infinite hours spent in physical and mental suffering, loneliness, and heartbreak. No statistics record the contributions these men might have made in literature, science, art, and music. Think of the unfathered families and the happiness that perished with those five million boys. Five million "might have beens" whose blood spattered brains bespangled the trenches of the Western Front. "Might have beens"—a futile note. War is mass futility. Only the educated and physically fit are acceptable as cannon fodder. Yet our public institutions are filled with men no longer useful to society. Modern movies depict the horrors of a technically executed bayoneting scene, and the public accepts them as thrills. Are they thrills to Gold Star Mothers, widows, and orphans? When bands play and youth parades by in martial glory, are those tears in the eyes of women thrills? Is this melodrama? On memorial days when the sob of a mother cuts through the recitation of "In Flanders Fields" and taps are played for "our buddies"—are these thrills? Those men died thinking they were making the world safe for democracy—if they thought at all. Too many were swept by propaganda and stirring music. If those voices could echo today, would they glorify war? Education is training the mind and body so that we may usefully employ our talents. Through education we must destroy the barbaric glorification of war. Nations that fuel their power on human blood fade through the pages of history. Youth for its own sake and for the sake of our country must concentrate its unified energies on world peace. We must not forget those five millions died for democracy. Is it to be a "might have been"? Plainsman Forum—Voice of the Students Suggests Some Talkers In The Show Go Hire A Tent For A Show Of Their Own Editor, The Auburn Plainsman Dear Sir: I would like to take this opportunity to open a subject that concerns every one that attends the local theater. It seems to be a daily pastime of some few of our students to go to the movies and make cracks about the performance. I am sure that these persons do not realize that there are several hundred other persons in the show that payed just as much to see it as themselves. It seems that those that try to "shine" in the audience annoy every one else considerably. I suggest that those who just have to entertain the audience open a tent show just outside the city limits of Auburn I am sure that the attendance would be next to nothing even if there was no admission charge. In other words, who wants to pay twenty-five and thirty-five cents to hear some ignorant fool demonstrate his ability to annoy a whole audience? It is known that the management of the Tiger Theater does not appreciate the un-gentlemanly conduct that is often experienced. Quiet please, N. Ernest. "Shiners" Greatly Irritate Writer; Desires Modesty In Girls Editor, The Auburn Plainsman Dear Sir: Shine . . . Shine . . . Shine . . . exceedingly disgusted do I become watching some girls shine at our dances. Some resort to having the number of "breaks" they get tabulated. Others ask boys that break on them not to dance out of the corner, fearing that if they got into the regular dance circle they might not be seen often enough to get a rush. To them I make the offering of a kettle of herring. Modest??????? the word has long gone into disuse from the want of exercise of its meaning. I am "speaking of a particular group of girls, and not of girls in general, for to do this would certainly be unfair to the many really modest girls that attend our dances and who get above the average number of breaks on their own merit. To the girls who employ trick devices to get a rush I tender my remarks. I feel reasonably sure that those boys who have been to as many dances as I, and who have made the same observations feel the same way with regard to this "Shining" business. Gripingly yours, R. P. W. Students May Be Encouraged To Do Better By Another Look In On Pa. Editor, The Auburn Plainsman Dear Sir: When those of us who were born neither blessed with intelligence nor with a strong inclination to study, go home between semesters and hear again of the struggles, trials, and tribulations that our respective maters and paters are having to give us an education, it will probably be our first thought to dedicate our lives to the worthy cause of helping said parents by staying at home and going to work. However, that spark of renewed ambition to succeed in our books will be fanned considerably by the dire prospect of slaving day after day in either Dad's or Uncle John's general merchandise store, and back to college we shall come with hopes again flaming high. While most of us profess to have already become a man and put away childish things such as New Year resolutions, we have merely postponed our efforts for about three weeks, and with the advent of the new semester, will solemnly resolve to settle down and study. Some will even be conscientious enough to give the matter such serious consideration that they will map out certain hours of study for each day. This practice, if followed will be a revelation; if not, it will at least afford a good laugh several weeks later. There will be some who, even after their touching episodes with the homefolks, can begin the second semester with no sworn pledges to themselves to do better work; but, if your Pa can talk like mine, and still you're not moved to at least resolve to do better, you're a better man than I, Gunga Din! Sincerely, H. S. On Other Campuses—By The Wanderer NSFA MEETS: The National Student Federation of America held its annual convention in New York a few days ago with the object of considering the many and varied problems that confront college students over the United States. The delegates considered the problem of compulsory military training, then sent a resolution to Congress approving the Nye- Kval Bill which will be under consideration this session. This much-discussed bill would remove the compulsory clause from the law requiring students attending land grant colleges to take two years of military training. The convention went on record as opposed to the proposed student anti-war strike which is to be called next April. Delegates felt that the strike would not accomplish the purpose intended—to let the people know that American students are opposed to war, particularly war of aggression. The proposed American Youth Act which would guarantee any person wishing to attend college a job with a minimum wage scale much higher than that of the N. Y. A. was considered. A further benefit of the Act would be the guaranteeing of jobs to college graduates. >-.. * * * ; • * HOUSE PARTY: When the Beta Theta- Pis of Georgia Tech went home for Christmas one of the brothers made the mistake of leaving the house unlocked. The "open house" was soon discovered by two of Atlanta's colored gentry who immediately procured a cart and began to remove everything in the house that was movable. One of the members of the raiding party made the mistake of climbing up the fire escape where he was spotted by a family living nearby. The police were notified. The two scavengers had taken everything down to the mattresses and were busily engaged in removing these when the law arrived. * * * * , DOWN ON COMMENCEMENT: The University of Arkansas Traveler stirred up a hornet's nest when it printed an editorial making fun of commencement week and graduation exercises, calling these two time-honored customs some not-so-cute names and knocking them bitterly. The Associated Press got wind of the jibe and put correspondents on the story to get the opinions of other college paper editors. Now it appears that the Traveler is in the position of Horatius at the bridge, for nearly all the editors consulted were on the other side of the fence. * * * * NEW USE FOR PLEDGES: Each year the pledges of Kappa Phi Lambda at Westminister College are required to make 50 gallons of apple butter, which is plenty of applesauce. Thunderations By HUGH CAMERON It has Juned in January again considering the tight sweaters sardined on the chests of the local feminity. If the required interest is not shown it is due to thinking about the British political situation, and wondering just how Martha Raye would look in one of the same sweaters. * * * * The dentist is the one who one dreams about seeing Karloff for the second show and going to home afterwards to do wrong by the ice box and finding pickled pig's foots. It isn't known for certain but the species of dentist is believed to be closely related to the clan of steel riveters, and concrete busters who use air hammers. A sort of first cousin, as it were, to the oil driller. No matter how good a dentist is he is going to make you feel like you should have went to Sunday school the past Sunday instead of lolling around in bed wondering who brung you home the night before. They can be nice and they can smile and they can use the utmost discretion in tromping around your palate, but somehow they always leave the impression that someone has just been busting concrete to put in a new sewer. Having just been cornered by one after four years of dodging I feel sure a country road has been resurfaced and a few covered bridges have been removed from inside. Most any man would rather call his one and only wife a freckled-face fool, and stand the consequences, than have to go to a dentist just for a teeth cleaning. As Mae would say . . . they bother me. * * * * Clyde McCoy's trumpet and all other trumpets have about been replaced by a new kind of instrument . J . . the concertina. Not that McCoy can push one of the things, but when he was going gone with his horn the remainder of the orchestras had one they kind of blew to imitate his kind of blowing. The imitation has started in again and is now aping Shep Field's concertina player. Geo. Hamilton, the present Veloz and Yo-lande maestro has a concertina pusher that is very good, almost as good as Shep Field's but not quite. Four out of every ten orchestras one hears now has such an instrument. And three out of every four have a piano player who tries to ape Carmen, of Al Kalvelin's orchestra, and Eddie Duchin. Carmen is above Duchin, and has a contract that says his name must be read every time he plays the piano. I suppose if some fool in some orchestra could learn how to blow a bazooka better than Bob Burns some few orchestras would incorporate such a thing in their orchestras. But hasn't as yet any other girl started singing like Martha Raye. * * * * Seme few local debs have tried after two Bottles of beer, after a good roll calling, but they haven't as yet tried the dance step she does after going into high gear.

FRIDAY, JANUARY IS, 1937 T H E A U B U R N P L A I N S M AN A L A B A M A P O L Y T E C H N I C INSTITUTE P A G E T H R EE LIST OF 'DANCING DON'TS' GIVEN BY FAMOUS NEW YORK TEACHER Arthur Murray, New York's Leading Dance Instructor, Tells "Him" And "Her" How To Do On Dance-Floor; Writer Suggests Trying These Rules Before Mid-Terms Begin "Lowell Thomas is "shy", Lincoln Ellsworth is "weak-kneed", Octavus Roy Cohen has no sense of humor and Gene Tunney's footwork is terrible." This is the statement of Dance Teacher Arthur Murray in the Literary Digest. Mr. Murray explains that this is because these men lost the calm self-control and assurance that brought them to the top in their chosen professions once they set trembling foot on the dance floor. And it is this man's job to make sure that those so desiring may make a creditable showing on the waxed floor as well as in their professions. Arthur Murray was a former student of Georgia Tech and began giving lessons to make a little pocket change. He now has studios in New York and not only teaches, but has over 200 instructors under his supervision. This noted teacher has made up a dozen "don'ts" for "him" and "her" on the dance-floor. It is drawing near the time when quite a large number to prepare for the Mid-terms, so read these rules, get your room-mate, and practice by the following "don'ts": Him—1. Don't crouch when you dance. This shows a narrow, belligerent, jealous nature. 2. Don't hold your partner's hand with your palm upward. Grasp it with an overclasp to show dominance. 3. Don't be wooden-footed. Flick the feet occasionally. Humor, spirit, generosity, vitality show in the pedal extremities. 4. Don't try a dozen steps with a girl who.knows only one. If you do, you are an egotist, to say nothing of an optimist. 5. Don't point the toes too obviously unless you want people to know you are conceited. 6. Don't stare into space with fixed eyes or dance one beat ahead of the Auburn Feed & Seed Store FEED, SEED, SUPPLIES Call Us For All Kinds Local Hauling Phone 86-J FORRENT NEW BRICK DUPLEX APARTMENT 1 Five Room - 1 Six Room Available for Occupancy on or before February 1st. Payne St.—Near High School Harvey C. Pitts, Agency Always Ready—All ways music. This shows you are obnoxiously artistic. 7. Don't raise your elbows too high, it means you are proud and vain. Too low means you lack confidence, but moderately high shows that you are a go-getter. 8. Don't walk and push your partner ahead of you. This is dull and inconsiderate. 9. Don't flounder. Relax, but keep yourself together. This shows you have everything under control. 10. Don't be an arm-pumper. Do your setting-up exercises at home. 11." Don't talk if you can't talk and dance at the same time. 12. Be animated, but don't exaggerate. Honesty' in step and stride show a broad forbearing personality. Her—1. Don't hang on your partner. Balance yourself with your left hand back of his right shoulder. 2. Don't plod or put your heel down first and then your toe. This shows you are egocentric and self-assured. 3. Don't turn your toes outward or those who know will accuse you of being sensual and self-indulgent. 4. Beware the man who cups his pal mover your back. It is a symbol of possessiveness. 5. Don't waltz and fox-trot exclusively. People will know you are strait-laced. 6. Don't dance with your shoulders. It shows you are coy and unreliable. Spend your energy in your feet. 7. Don't giggle or carry on long conversations. This shows you lack rhythm and are trying to distract your partner's attention. P.S.—It won't fool him. 8. Keep alert and be ready to move in four directions—but not all at once. 9. Don't wiggle. It is not pleasant to dance with a worm. 10. Don't wave your arms. You will probably miss the lead and stumble, and it shows you are temperamental. • . 11. Don't stick out in the rear. This throws excess weight on your partner's chest and is very bad form. 12. Keep the spirit of dancing free, generous, kindly and wholesome.

CAMP HILL BEATEN TWICE BY AUBURN HIGH, 26 - 1 1 , 22 - 8 Paul Star, Tiger Center, Leads Scoring With Eleven Points; Play Five Points Tonight By LEE SMITH Auburn High opened its basketball season with a 26 to 11 victory over Camp Hill's five Wednesday night at the.„Camp Hill gymnasium. Paul Star, Auburn's center, lead the scoring for the locals with 11 points and was followed by Charles Ham and Jack Bright with 7 and 5 points respectively. The two Auburn guards, Chritzberg and Mitchell, did a good job of guarding their opponents but did not make many points, Chritzberg 3 and Mitchell none. The first game was followed by a game between the Camp Hill second team and the Auburn third and fourth string. Auburn was lead in this game by Pete Almquist, an all-around defensive man and a fine shot. He was the main cog in this game, being high scorer for Auburn and holding his opponent to a very low score. Auburn won this game by a score of 22 to 8. The other players on this team were Jack Moore, Jack Hill, David Gardner, and John T. Hudson. The small but fast Auburn five plays another game Friday night against Five Points and another Saturday against Tallassee. Glass bricks, capable of transmitting 87.5 per cent light, are being used in the construction of the new south unit engineering shop on the campus of the University of Kentucky. The Granddaughter's Club at State Teacher's College, Farmville, Virginia, consists of girls whose grandmother or mother attended Farmville State Teacher's College. Coach Morgan's absence from Auburn makes it rather futile to discuss boxing and wrestling. However, after talking to several of the members of last year's team and noting their interest, it remains a mystery why someone else doesn't take over tlfe reins, at least temporarily. Both sports are worthy of a place in Auburn and the cost of maintaining them isn't prohibitive. * * * Those new basketball uniforms did something to the stands, judging from the numerous "ohs" and "ahs" which arose after the basketeers removed their sweat clothes. * * * Seems to be some doubt as to whether or not the polo team will receive the necessary appropriation this year. 'Twould be rather a shame if they didn't. Captain Klepinger has turned out some fine teams here, the sport has a large following, and it is truly a gentleman's game—three good reasons for its continuing here. * * * Whoever said that basketball wasn't a rough game will have to argue with Red Childers and Dave Rogers. Childers bears a split lip containing three stitches as mute testimony to the roughness of the contest Saturday night while Rogers has a wrist closely resembling a balloon to attest to the fact that he was in a hot scrimmage during one of the practice ses- Wonder why Auburn doesn't have intercollegiate sports for its co-eds? The University is well represented by girls' teams and they seem to do pretty well in that field, as do numerous other colleges. Is it possible that Auburn is still clinging to those ancient ideas concerning women's place being in the home? * * * With the fraternity basketball teams practicing nightly, it should not be long before the independent league starts to function. Or isn't there going to be any independent league? Prospect Swimmers Begin Work On Monday Under Woodward Auburn's 1937 tank-team officially began practice last Monday as announced by Coach-Captain Brant Woodard. An exceptionally large number of potential mermen are training each day preparing themselves for coming meets. The swimming roster is not yet complete but it is probable that the Auburn tankmen will open the season against Ga. Tech the latter part of February. At the present time Captain Woodard is scheduling practice solely for conditioning purposes. As yet nothing definite can be said as to the ability of the swimmers although the Freshmen as well as the Varsity will exceed previous Auburn tank-teams; at any rate as far as man-power is concerned. Lambda Chi Elects New Chapter Heads The Lambda Chi Alpha fraternity held its annual election of officers at its regular Wednesday night meeting. The following men were elected to office for the coming scholastic year 1937: President, Max Weldon, We-tumpka; Vice President, Ernest Floyd, Huntsville; Treasurer, Bradt Cameron, Birmingham; Secretary, Roy Fleming, Brundidge. William E. Benns, of Montgomery, was elected House manager, and Milton Wood, also of Montgomery, will be in charge of all fraternity initiations. The retiring officers are as follows : President, Thomas Hagan, Syla-cauga; Vice President, Curtis Jennings, Kingsport, Tennessee; Treasurer, Joseph R.

Every night over at the gymnasium some fraternity teams battles it out in practice games. The first of this week the K. A.'s engaged the Che-wacla Camp CCC boys and won a hard-fought contest from them. The Sigma Nu's at' this time seem to be entitled to the favorite's spot in the Mrs. Bashinsky New Chairman Of U.D.C.

FORTY FRESHMEN START PRACTICE FOR COURT TEAM Elmer Salter Will Have Charge Of Plebes While Morgan Is On Leave; Prospects Good Forty candidates for the 1937 freshmen basketball team reported to Elmer Salter while Coach Morgan is out of town, last Tuesday, January 5, at Alumni Gymnasium and have been progressing nicely since then. To date the practice sessions have been mainly devoted to conditioning exercises and basket shooting with little scrimmaging. Although there has not been sufficient time to form any definite opinions on the merits of any of the players, Baker, Belin, Gibson, Douglas, Dickson, Jordan, Soaker, Bush, Fleming and Ginter have stood out from the rest. The frosh will open their season against Lanett in Lanett this Friday night, January 15. The starting team will be selected from the above-mentioned men. Patronize Plainsman advertisers. Mrs. L. M. Bashinsky, of Troy, has been appointed chairman of the general United Daughters of the Confederacy committee for the raising of funds for the erection of a $20,000 bronze statue of Jefferson Davis which is to be placed on the grounds of the State Capitol at Montgomery, according to announcement here of Mrs. Herman D. Jones president of the Alabama Division, U. D. C. The appointment was made by Mrs. John L. Woodbury, Louisville, Ky., president general of the organization. Mrs. J. H. Crenshaw, of Montgomery, was named by Mrs. Jones as director of the drive for funds in Alabama, with other members of her committee to be announced later. Erection of the statue to commemorate the life of Jefferson Davis, President of the Confederacy, has been adopted as a project by the U. D. C. organization throughout the Southland. Bessie L.

This fraternity team boasts such fine basketeers as: Bobbie Blake, Billy Hitchcock, and Bruce McGehee who have already proven themselves as athletes on the campus and who are plenty good at basketball too. With the heighth and experience this team has they should be hard to beat. The Sigma Nu's and the K. A.'s have played a series of practice games and although the Sigma Nu's seem to hold the edge it is very slight indeed. The K. A.'s have some good players in Ralph 'O'Gynne, "Bevo" Biggin, and Horace Weis-singer. Weissinger is a new-comer to Auburn, having transferred from B'ham-Southern after his freshman year. This boy is about six-foot-one and has led the K. A.'s in scoring so far this season in all practice games. In these warm-up games the Theta Chi team has shown up very well and with a little more experience this team will give their opponents plenty of trouble when the play in the fraternity bracket begins following exams.

The conference was held all during this week. "Cash for farm living probably will be a little higher in 1937 than 1936," said Nell Pickens, economist and home management specialist, in discussing theJ farm family living outlook for the year. "More families probably will make major home improvements in 1937 and 1936. "Not much change in prices for 'all goods' for family living, but 'all foods' may be slightly higher," she said. "No marked change in clothing prices except for leather goods, which may be higher." In addition to studying the living outlook for 1937 the agents are attending demonstrations in home management, foods and clothing. The demonstrations in home management include house furnishings and arrangement, equipment for the farm home, renovation of furniture and furnishings, home improvements, home sanitation and water systems. The food demonstrations include the preparation and preservation of milk, eggs, meats, salads, bread, pastry, cakes, as well as giving latest information on table service, afternoon teas and the preparation of breakfasts and dinners. The clothing demonstrations include dress fitting, coat making, dress design, planning an inexpensive wardrobe, dress accessories and style trims, foundation garments and slips and good grooming. Helen Johnston, state home demonstration agent, is in charge. She is being assisted by Elizabeth Delony, state girls 4-II club leader, Helen Kennedy, foods specialist, Ruth Dobyne, May I.

The liquor bill comes up again today as a special order of business. It was introduced last Friday and defeated, but was revised Tuesday by reconsidering the adverse vote. Sen. Bonner, leader of the wets, said that he didn't know how things stand and the wets didn't either and that this was how close the fight was. AUBURN QUINT FACES SEWANEE FIVE IN TWO TILTS THIS WEEK-END (Continued from Page 1) shown up well in the past two encounters. Frank Hamm, junior, has seen little action to date due to the fact that he was kept busy with football until January 1, but has been progressing nicely and may see action against Sewanee. Sewanee Has Weak Team The Sewanee aggregation has shown no startling basketball talent so far this season, but may be counted on to give the TigeTs a good battle. Insofar as this will be the first collegiate competition to be met this year by the Plainsmen, a great deal of interest will be evinced in the games in order to determine how they will stack up against such competition. A return brace of games will be played in Auburn on Monday and Tuesday, February 8 and 9, at which time the student body will be given an opportunity to see the team in action. It is possible that two tentative games arranged with Louisiana State will be played here next week, but this is not certain. The probable starting line-up for the initial contest with Sewanee will consist of Rex McKissick and Malvern Morgan or Theron Karge at the forward posts, Red Childers on the pivot- position, and Joel Eaves and Andrew Curlee on the guard posts. Childers received a split lip necessitating three stitches to be taken in the Fort Benning tilt so it may be that Tommie Edwards will be given first call. Cowart Elected Head Of Agricultural Club For Next Semester STUART WRIGHT, OF PEACE GROUP, IS VISITOR HERE (Continued from Page 1) and others, discussion of the work of the campaign resulted in the conclusion that a committee of faculty and student leaders should be appointed to promote the work of the Emergency Peace Campaign on the campus. The committee will be named by Executive Secretary P. O. Davis within the next few days. Speaks to Several Groups Here Organizations which had' an opportunity of hearing Mr. Wright and which are interested in the Peace Campaign among the students include: Woman's Student Government Council, Pan-Hellenic Council, Y. M. C. A., Wesley Foundation, and Baptist Student Union. The field secretary is expected to leturn to the Auburn Campus for further discussion and study of the subject early in February, at which time the Council composed of representatives from all cooperating organizations will be set up and educational and promotional work will be started. 18 Of 20 Best Shows Run During Year By Local Tiger Theatre Only two of the ten best pictures of 1936 picked by the "Film Daily" were not shown at the Tiger Theatre last year. There were nineteen other pictures in the contest. Only one of these pictures has not been shown in Auburn. The two pictures not shown in the winning ten were "Anthony Adverse" and "A Midsummer Night's Dream." These two films will be shown here in the near future. The one picture in the other nineteen which was not shown at the Tiger was "Nine Days A Queen". The ten best pictures of the past year were: Mutiny On The Bounty, Mr. Deeds Goes to Town, The Great Ziegfeld, San Francisco, Dodsworth, The Story of Louis Pasteur, A Tale of Two Cities, Anthony Adverse, The Green Pastures, A Midsummer Night's Dream. tion of the value of the instruction and the care which the equipment receives that the club has been able to compile such an enviable record. At the regular meeting of the Agriculture Club held last Wednesday night in Comer Hall, Byron Cowart, senior in Agricultural Education, was elected president of the organization for the coming semester. Mr. Cowart, who is also president of Alumni Hall, succeeds Henry Grady Pinkston who was made president of the club upon the resignation of Marberry Huggins last fall. Other officers who were elected Wednesday night are: Andrew Jackson, vice-president; M. Ferguson, secretary; Charlie Stokes, treasurer; and Robert Cargile, reporter.

R. C. CONFERENCE PLANS ARE BEING COMPLETED Both houses of the Alabama legislature have enacted laws transferring the three divisions of the Alabama Polytechnic Institute from the general fund to the educational trust fund. They become laws with the signature of Governor Graves. The senate acted prior to the Christmas recess and the House acted by unanimous vote on Thursday of this week. Three bills were required—one for the college, another for the extension service and a third for the experiment station. The change was advocated by President L. N. Duncan and others engaged in educational work. Included in the bill affecting the general college were all educational institutions in Alabama. The change means that practically all state educational functions are now on an educational trust fund and thereby not involved in the general fund where appropriations are made to the detriment of education. national Relations Club. The Glomerata should be ready for distribution not later than the week of final exams. (Continued from Page 1) and luncheon has been scheduled during the conference at the College Inn.

Dance Tonight VOLUME LX TO F O S T E R THE A U B U R N S P I R IT AUBURN, ALABAMA, FRIDAY, JANUARY 15, 1937 NUMBER 30 Many Girls Are Mailed Prom Bids Eight Fraternities Agree To Have House Parties To Accommodate Crowd Of Girls "—And She Sings Like She Looks" 600 BIDS SENT Bid Cards May Still Be Filled Out A s Committee Will Hold Box Open Until Sunday All bid cards for visiting girls have been taken up and 600 invitations mailed out by the Social Committee. To accommodate the large number of girls expected to attend the Junior Prom eight fraternities have agreed to have house parties. All dances have been sold to campus organizations. Although the number of bids already mailed out ranks equal and above the numbers of former years, the Social Committee has arranged for a single bid box to be left at the Tiger Drug Store to give students who failed to fill out their bid cards soon enough a last chance to have an invitation mailed. The box will be held open until Sunday. No bids may be filled out after that time. Chairman Vernon Merritt urges all students who wish to fill out cards to do so immediately so a more definite idea of the number of girls coming may be determined. Eight Frats Plan House Parties The eight fraternities Tvho have agreed to have house parties for the dances are Lambda Chi Alpha, Sigma Chi, Phi. Delta Theta, Sigma Nu, Theta Chi, Pi Kappa Alpha, Alpha Tau Omega, and Sigma Phi Epsilon. at This is the largest number of house parties ever to be held at one set of Mid-Term dances. All visiting girls will be accommodated at these houses. As, is customary all dances in the set of seven have been sold to various campus organizations. The schedule of dances is: Thursday night, Vikings, a Junior honor organization; Friday morning, Blue Key; Friday afternoon, Keys Interfraternity; Friday night, Junior Class Prom; Saturday morning, Tau Beta Pi; Saturday afternoon, Scabbard and Blade; and Saturday night, "A" Club. This is the first year the "A" Club has bought a night dance and the Vikings is the first society of its nature to carry through two years. Tickete for the dances are now on sale by members of the Social Committee at $10 for the entire set of seven dances. Prices of other ticket groups aside from season tickets will be announced later. Next Term Dances Are Now Listed AH Frats, Sororities, Organizations, And Clubs Have Been Assigned Dates For Dances CALENDAR ARRANGED Thirty-six Dances Have Been Scheduled; Others Wishing D a t e s See Callan At Once Virginia Sims, voted America's most beautiful vocalist, will appear here with Kay Kyser and his orchestra January 28, 29, 30. Kyser has Sully Mason, Art Wright, Bill Stoker, and I«ch Kabibble as other featured vocalists. - Aero Club To Extend Its Original Program Due to the success of the original membership drive the Auburn Aero Club has decided to continue the program for another month with the same inducements that featured the original drive. Among the new members joining the club during the past month are: Edward Taylor, James Calloway, William Carroll, Graham Savage, and James Sharman. There have been several new members also obtained from Opelika, Fairfax and other adjacent towns. The total membership of the club now numbers nearly forty students, all of whom are active flying members. Under the direction of Jack Flood, instructor of the club, a large majority of the club members have already made their first solo flights and are now building up time toward a Department of Commerce license. Have New Plane The club has obtained a new plane to handle the greatly increased amount of student flying. Delivery of the new plane will be made about the middle of April. Being of a different type the plane will enable the students to obtain a variety of experience in handling various ships. Already recognized as one of the largest organizations of its kind in the country the club has grown even beyond the hopes of its founders. Having compiled an unusual record of (Continued on Page 4) Auburn Faces Sewanee Quint In Two Games This Week-End Tigers Meet Sewanee Tonight And Tomorrow In First Coll e g e Game; To Return Game Coach Ralph Jordan and his squad of basketball Tigers entrained today for Sewanee where they will meet the University of the South in a brace of tilts tonight and tomorrow night. Since their loss to the Lanett Athletic Club early in the season, the Plainsmen have been coming along at a rapid gait and had little difficulty in setting back Fort Benning by the score of 35-20 last Saturday night. Much of this improvement has been due to the fact that considerable strength was added by the addition of several football players, Joel Eaves, Malvern Morgan, Tommie Edwards, Rex McKissick, and Frank Hamm, all of whom were kept busy on the gridiron for the first two weeks of the season. Eaves Good Leader Joel Eaves, captain of the team, has a steadying, influence on the men which leads to smooth teamwork and he is certain to account for a fair percentage of the points. Malvern Morgan, sophomore forward, has developed into one of the best men on the team, possessing an uncanny ability to ring up double-deckers, although he is considerably handicapped on the floor by his weight which hovers around the 200-mark. Tommie Edwards, excellent soph center, and Rex McKissick, junior forward, are two valuable members of Coach Jordan's outfit and have (Continued on Page 4) W. A. A. Will Stage Dance Tonight, 9:30 The. Woman's Athletic Association will sponsor the second girl-break dance of the year tonight at the Girls' Gymnasium from 9:30 to 1:00. Music will be furnished by Doc Moseley and the Auburn Knights. This association gives four dances of this type each year and in the past they have proved to be a success. The funds derived from these affairs are used to buy athletic equipment for girls. Several features are planned for the dance tonight, including two W. A. A. lead-outs, three no-breaks, and a Frosh girl lead-out. Pitts Hotel To Have Sign 100 Feet In Air Pitts Hotel being erected on the lot adjoining the Plainsman office is, according to a statement made by the owners, to have a huge neon sign on top of the building that may be seen for miles. The sign will be 100 feet in the air. This new building, which is to be Auburn's largest, is to be three stories high, and is to have running water, both hot and cold in each of its 30 rooms. In addition to the hotel there will be erected a building on each side for store occupancy. Provision is to be made later for the construction of a theatre seating 800. 6th Annual LR.C, Conference Plans Being Completed By Auburn Group By KIRTLEY BROWN Student representatives and faculty advisers of the 128 International Relations Clubs in the Southeast will gather here for the 6th annual International Relations Clubs Conference on February 19 and 20. More than 200 delegates will attend. Featured speakers will be the noted Englishman and authority on international affairs, Major C. Douglas, who will come to America for the conference under the auspices of the Carnegie Foundation, of New York City; Miss Carol Riegelman, of the International Labor Organizations at Geneva, Switzerland; and Miss Amy Heminway Jones, New York City, general secretary for International Clubs throughout the world. The 12 round-table discussions will deal with the four general topics of American foreign policy, with special attention to Latin America; the League of Nations; conflict in the Far East; and considerations of the question, "Dictatorship vs. Democracy." Program Formulated Detailed program for the meeting is being formulated by Ralph C. Boles, district president of the International Relations Clubs. He is being assisted by Prof. O. T. Ivey, of the history department, adviser for the Auburn club. Other club members heading committees in preparation for the conference are Catherine Rogers, publicity; J. H. Wheeler, finance; Robert Roberts, arrangements; and B. E. Cowart, entertainment.

Stuart Wright, Of Peace Group, Is Visitor Here By ROBERT JOHNSTON Seeking to enlist Auburn students in a campaign to promote peace and take the profits out of war, Mr. Stuart Wright, field secretary of the Emergency Peace Campaign, spent several days on the Auburn Campus in conference with faculty and student leaders. The Emergency Peace Campaign is sponsored by outstanding leaders in civic and religious thought in all parts of the country. Dr. Harry Emerson Fosdick, pastor of the Riverside Church, New York, is the chairman of the national board. Others include William A. White, editor; Ivan Lee Holt, president of the Federal Council of Churches in America; John R. Mott, president of the International YMCA; Grace Morrison Poole, past president of the General Federation of Women's Clubs; distinguished leaders .from practically every denomination, and the presidents of many prominent colleges. Organized on 200 Campuses Mr. Wright representing the Youth Division of the Peace movement stated in a meeting of students Monday night that there were Peace Councils already organized on more than 200 college and university campuses of the nation. Councils have been started on the campuses of University of Alabama, Alabama College, Huntingdon, and Troy State Teachers College, in Alabama; and plans are underway for the beginning of the movement at Howard, Birmingham-Southern, Jud-son, Jacksonville Teachers, and Florence Teachers. At a meeting Wednesday morning, of deans and faculty members, including Mr. P. O. Davis, Dean Petrie, Dean Scott, Col. Wallace, Dean Dobbs, Miss Walston, Rev. Hay, Rev. Lee, (Continued on Page 4) Six Are Picked To Fill Co-Ed Beauty Section Men Are Named By Barnett For Glee Club Tour Early in February the Auburn Glee Club will make its first yearly tour which will extend over a period of seven days and carry the club to Montevallo, Montgomery, S e 1 m,a, Marion, Tuscal»osa, and Birmingham, i At a recent meeting the following men were chosen by Director Lawrence Barnett to make the trip.

The members will be under the direction of Mr. Barnett, who has been working with the club since early in the fall, and who has arranged a very entertaining and interesting program consisting of classical semi-classical, and popular songs, and novelties. Vikings Buy Dance; Plan Annual Banquet Vikings, Junior social organization, is completing its plans to have a banquet and the Thursday night dance during the Junior Prom. This is the only organization of its nature that has survived longer than the original function for which it was organized. Vikings was organized by Jarvis Brown and Max Welden last year before the Sophomore Hop for which Earl Burtnett and his orchestra played. The dance and banquet sponsored by the society was such a marked success that the members wished to continue its function at the set of dances given for, the class during the Mid-Term in the next year. So at their first meeting this year, the members agreed to have a banquet and dance. A call meeting will be held at the Student Center Friday night at 6:45. All members are requested to attend this last meeting as urgent and important business is to be discussed. Interfrat Head HAMll^TOiol C/4 A. I-. A /s/ Ham Callan, president of the Interfraternity Council, has released dates for all dances to be held next semester. Players Cast Coming Work Last Tuesday Four Heavier Roles Are Cast For "Wings Over Europe"; Play Calls For All-Male Cast N O T I C E ! Anyone interested in going out for polo may do so by seeing Captain Klepinger at the Military Office in Samford Hall sometime before the end of the semester. By FRANKLYN WARD Casting, for the four heavier roles for the forthcoming production of the Auburn Players, "Wings Over Europe" was held in the Y-Hut last Tuesday evening. Dawson Mullins was awarded the role of Walter Grantley, Prime Minister of the British Empire; Lem Edmonson, Jr., the role of Evelyn Arthur, Secretary of State for Foreign Affairs; Alvin Vogtle, that of Richard Stapp,. Secretary of State for War; and Arthur Elsberry that of Francis Lightfoot. The casting for the fourteen remaining roles will be held the first week of the second semester. Anyone interested in securing one of these roles is urged to be present at the try-outs in the Y-Hut at that time. Setting in Downing Street The three act play "Wings Over Europe" with an all-male cast is a futuristic melodrama of scientific progress. The setting for the play is within the home of the Prime Minister at No. 10 Downing Street, London. The novelty of the play lies in the fact that the action takes place on any morning of the present day, when at last man has discovered a means of controlling the destiny of the world. He holds the power to destroy the. world or on the other hand to use this power to the advantage of humanity as a whole. His discovery and the use he makes of it presents a most interesting and intriguing story; a story that one who lives in this modern day with scientific progress almost at its height cannot afford to miss. Senate Expected To Pass Liquor Tax Today As Chichester Tax Is Deferred By HOWARD WORKMAN As the suit on the Ellis gross receipts bill goes into its second day, the hearing on the Chichester two per cent sales tax has been postponed until the 16th legislative day and the Senate, today, is expected to pass a liquor taxation and referendum bill. On a motion of Rep. Chichester, author of the bill, the House of Representatives voted 50 to 43 to postpone action on the two per cent sales tax bill until the 16th legislative day, which will fall on next Tuesday unless the Legislature adjourns for the inauguration of President Roosevelt. Jeff Beeland, president of the Merchants Association of Alabama, said that the postponement was not made because of weakness of the supporting forces as they are in as good shape now as they will be next week or any. other time. After a conference last night in the Governor's office which 23 senators attended it appeared certain that a liquor taxation bill with a state-wide referendum attached would pass the Senate today. The heated discussion of the conference lasted for two hours. The form of the bill was worked out in the conference. It will provide for the referendum and that, provisions of the Senate substitute to the House state stores bill will apply only, in the event that the state goes wet, to those counties which vote wet, and not to those which vote dry. Conference Committee Appointed On the passage of this bill it is expected that a conference committee will be appointed to consider the bill and amendment and that a delay of a week or more may be sustained in the event that the Legislature ad- (Continued on Page 4) Misses Brasfield, Campbell, Edwards, Joiner, Murphey, And Smith Are Chosen IS CONSIDERED HONOR Marks First Time Beauty Section Has Been Composed Entirely Of Women Students Molly Brasfield, Jean Campbell, Sadie Edwards, Iris Joiner, Netty Murphrey, and Sara Smith are the co-eds that have been selected to appear in the Beauty Section of the Glomerata. The names were released by Editor Sam Gibbons last night. Each of the young ladies chosen for this honor is- popular on the campus and takes an active part in social and school affairs. Molly Brasfield, of Demopolis, is to lead the section by virture of her being elected "Miss Auburn" last Fall. She is a Junior in the School of Architecture and Allied Arts. Jean Campbell, of Birmingham, is a member of Theta Epsilon, Cardinal Key and Sphinx, honor groups for coeds, and the W. A. A. She will graduate in Home-Economics in May. Sadie Edwards, of Union Springs, was the only Freshman to receive this honor. Miss Edwards is enrolled in the School of Education. Iris Joiner, of Dadeville, is a Senior in the School of Home-Economics. Netty Murphey, of Chattanooga, Tenn., is president of Sphinx, a member of the W. A. A. and lead the Mid- Term dances her sophomore year. Miss Murphey is a student in Business and will graduate in May. Sara Smith, of Union Springs, is an irregular student in Commercial Art. Full Page Pictures Gibbons revealed that a full page would be given to the picture of each of these co-eds and two sheets at front and back would make the section ten pages. This is the first time that the entire Beauty Section has been composed entirely of women students; the idea appears to have met the approval of the student body. It should be remembered that these co-eds were selected by faculty members of the Art Department and that their word was final. It was thought at first that a greater number of representatives would be selected but Gibbons stated that the Glomerata budget would not be able to stand but a half-dozen full-page photos. Work Progresses As to the other sections of the yearbook, the work is coming along nicely with over 220 pages already sent to Benson Printing Company, Nashville, publishers of the annual. There has been space given over to several or- (Continued on Page 4) Morrow Is New F.F.A. President, Not Baker The following story should have appeared in Wednesday's paper. Due to a mistake the story had it that E. M. Baker was elected president of the F. F. A. chapter for the coming semester, but D. G. Morrow was named the new head and Baker is the retiring president. The following story should have appeared : D. G. Morrow, of Hamilton, Auburn senior in agricultural education, has been elected president of the Collegiate Chapter of the Future Farmers of America to serve for the second semester. Morrow succeeds E. M. Baker, also a senior in agricultural, education, and will serve with the following other officers: Charles Glasscock, vice-president, Hamilton; L. H. Little, secretary, Alexandria; and W. P. Moss, treasurer, Notasulga. Membership of the Collegiate FFA Chapter is composed of more than 100 students who studied vocational agriculture in high school. Major project of the Chapter during its first year of existence is the establishment of a student cooperative book exchange which has proved highly successful.

Well, Read What We Think Issue number 30—meaning we are half through with our job of editing The Plainsman and we want to stop for a minute to see just what kind of a paper we've been editing. Here's the way we figure it up thus far: The editorials are out-of-date, weak, poorly written, and are seldom read except, possibly, when one irritates a chance reader and he calls it to the attention of more subscribers who heartily agree that the editor is all wrong. Our news-stories are the same type that have been running for the past decade with changes only in names and dates. They are, as a rule, dull and old. Once in a great while we see a reader glancing below the headlines— not often. Our columns: Cats and Canaries is too "catty". Its contents are not understood by a large enough per cent of the readers. "Before Tomorrow" is read by an exceedingly few. It is a hard column to write because it deals too much with politics and national affairs. The author should be a political economist. "Pete's Epistle" is rather clever but he is beginning to deal with persons on the campus too much and turning the column into a "gossip" letter. And Pete needs another semester of Freshman English. "With Other Colleges" has originality as its redeeming feature. It is not "clipped" as are so many similar columns in other school papers. It is good, light reading. "Thunderations" is written too much for a few but is very well read. This "grandpa" column may broaden someday. "On Your Radio" is all right if you are an orchestra enthusiast. And so you have the editor's view on the paper he edits—on paper. We vouch it is seldom done. We hope we make no enemies by this personal view of the columns. Our folks are doing their best and we are endeavoring to improve the paper in every way. In Need Of Arithmetic And Not An Organization The newest of the new-fangled college organizations is the T. C. L. A. C. A., or the "Two Can Live As Cheaply Association." This group has been recently founded at the University of Oregon by two married couples, Mr. and Mrs. Reinhart Knudsen and Mr. and Mrs. Howard Kessler. A picture appeared in the Collegiate Digest on Wednesday showing the couples busily preparing a meal. It is the intention of the founders to promote chapters at other colleges in the interest of their kind. All we wish to say is "Keep it over there" and "Oh, yeah!" Of course the idea is just a novelty and marriage in college may be all right if the parties concerned are financially able. But don't join the T. C. L. A. C. A. and expect to still get by on that allowance from home. Andrew Smith's Russian Novel Tells Of Labor Conditions Andrew Smith's recent novel, "I Was a Soviet Worker" gives an amazing account of working conditions as they stand in Russia today. The whole world has been anticipating the outcome of the national planning put into effect by this large European power. The Soviet government forbids investigation of their system; thus there is very little authentic information obtainable. Smith makes public several figures he compiled while employed as a machinist in Moscow. As a coal miner in Pennsylvania, Smith was a strong advocate of Communism as a national system, as well as were many of his co-workers. He kept hearing unbelievably good reports of how well the people were provided for under the share the wealth regime in Russia, so he set sail for that country, the worker's paradise. His observations upon reaching Russia are altogether contrary to the propaganda that had been conveyed him as a worker in America. The perfect working conditions, the old-age pension, "classless Russia," and the many other features claimed by the leaders were in the main, false. The pension of which Russia boasts amounts to 17 rubles per month which is equivalent to 60c in our money. Worker's wages averaged 125 rubles or 4 dollars per month. Educational facilities are inadequate. Inefficient hospitalization is leading to the death of many who could recover with a very small amount of medical care. The streets are filled with beggars whose families are hungry. Workers are forced to pay voluntary taxes amounting to over 15% of their wages in many cases. The average working day varies form eight to sixteen hours in length. There is a sharp class discriminaion between workers and the governing body. There is a general feeling of dissatisfaction among the people, but fear x>f punishment compels them to stifle their protests. The Russian plan supported by so many workers of this country is not at all like the propagandists picture it. The life of our lowest classes is as high in culture as their highest. Conditions over there are not fit for human existence. The theory that a nation's people fare better with the government looking out for their affairs is disproved by the Russian system in practice. Their plan must be unsound or a nation so abundant in natural resources would be bounding in prosperity. More than ever now, we should cry down with other systems and on with the democracy that has made our nation the king of nations. A Boyish Plea To Hit-And-Run Drivers A few days ago an unknown person in Birmingham, either cruel or thoughtless, hung a dark cloud over the happy life of a twelve year old Birmingham boy. This person ran over and killed the boy's little dog and, instead of stopping to see what he had done, sped away from the scene of the pitiful sight. The little boy, broken-hearted at the loss of one of his closest friends and companions, wrote a letter to The Birmingham News begging that drivers be more careful. The boy's childish pleading words produce, or should produce, in the hearts of their readers a sincere sympathy and understanding in the loss which seems so terrible to the owner of the little dog. Here is the letter printed in full: "Say, you hit-and-run drivers. The one who hit my dog on Fifth Avenue, South. Won't you drive more careful? Am only 12 years old. But Thump, my dog, gave me lots pleasure after school. He gone now. But my heart awful sad. And it awful hard for me coming home after school not having Thump greet me. Just Buddy." There does seem to be an excessive amount of carelessness in the case of dogs which sometime run out into the street; they can be avoided with very little trouble. Surely, everyone who reads Buddy's little boyish plea will be more careful of other people's pets. This letter should be reprinted in every newspaper in the country to call to the minds of people the deep pain which every child feels when his favorite pet is killed. Before Tomorrow By JAMES BUNTIN THIS TIME: RUSSIA'S CALENDAR, MR. SIMPSON SUES, 29 DIE,, REORGANIZATION, W. A. A. With the last compiled story in retrospect, a premature spring in the air, and a probable theme, "May I Have The Next Romance With You", in study racked (?) brains, one has to grapple with the current facts and ideas for the next digest. The selected material arranged below serves for the facsimile of the digest BEFORE TOMORROW. * * * * WHY the Russians of the old order still persist in celebrating New Year 13 days later than appears feasible in our mode of thought is partially explained by the fact that they still use the old Julian calendar. Then too, one might think of them as being just that far behind their more modern Communist brothers in thought and action. Most of the old order are now conserving their once exalted positions in exile. » * * * WHEISf there is an affair like that of Edward pro Wally and one which causes as much universal consternation and interest there is sure to be some aftermath. Mr. Earnest Simpson is now suing a prominent English woman for slander. He charges that she has vociferated quite broadly that he received a large sum of money in connection with his former wife's romance. * * * * WHERE 29 deaths, a large number injured, and not mentioning the other incidentals concerning the tragedies of the West Coast Air Lines within the last 30 days confronts us, it is a matter that is due a great deal of investigation and attempted adjustment. It is expected that the national government will take some drastic steps in relation to the matter. * * * * WHAT' President Roosevelt disclosed in his address to Congress as to his course of action is set forth in his assertion that Democracy could succeed in diverse times as other types of government have. He is asking for a tremendous reorganization program, especially in relation to departments and to executive power. * * * * HOW the local gigolos will react to the intrigues of our CO-EDS (once saturized as Scheming Leaping Lenas) Friday night at the W. A. A. dance might be expected after considering the atmospheric conditions and . . . . well other unexplainables. But the immediate and the preceding above has gone far enough in time and space. Merci. Cats and Canaries Will Chili Allen please take Marie Louise and "Peanut" with him on one of his nightly rides and leave the latter. * * * * Why are Terry Mosley and Louie B. known as the "cooperation"?????? * * * * Fred Porter is worrying whether the light of his life, from Florida, will be here for the dances—perhaps, he sent other bids? * * * * The old oriental custom seemed to prevail at the "Windmill" Wednesday night— everyone was sitting on the floor including Jitters Lewis. Sam Lou, June, and Wilton. * * * * SLASH !->Margie Cole and Frances Wilson are good proof that the Chi Omega Xmas was just one big "cut up." * * * * Riddle—what Theta Chi is double talking what K. D. pledge (he has beautiful eyes) and what K. D. is doing the same to a handsome blond Phi Delta? (unless cost of a soda is paid—names will appear next week.) * * * * HERE COMES THE BRIDE—so we hear—will be played for E. Ingram and a certain Chem. prof., but—it won't be for three years yet. * * * * CONTRARY TO RUMORS—Pugh is not an atheist but is quite interested in a home town "preacher". (Well, Frank, remember "grandma"). * * • * ADVICE TO LOVELORN To James Buntin and C. W. Tompson: Spring is here, and the temptation is great, lads, but remember, he's still president of the Executive cabinet. * * * * If Andy Elliot and his playmates are going to take over the "Windmill"—what will the five-hundred across the tracks do—for this hot weather? * * * * Pat Tucker has the most twinkling eyes around the village and Sis Carmack the nicest nose. * * * * NOMINATION FOR SUNNIEST DISPOSITION— Margy Ann Flott. Youth Faces A Catastrophe EDITORIAL FEATURE—By JOAN METZGER Today youth faces the greatest catastrophe since 1914—a world war. Must we permit munitions fortunes to dally ruthlessly with our futures? Are we to accept the statement that war is pre-destined and inevitable? Must we exchange our lives and rights to happiness for chemical warfare and no man's land? Perhaps I'm emotional if I fail to picture domestic or national tranquillity in a country where gas masks hang cosily in the nursery or where bomb-proof cellars are as essential to homes as the latest electrical gadgets. The basketed fragments of humanity, clinging to life in veteran's hospitals through eternities of misery are not the gloriously fabricated flowers of youth's blossoming dreams. These men might have been spared the agony of purposeless existence, but, less fortunate than their brothers sleeping under five million white crosses, they lived. Crude statistics show that 126,000 Americans, 5,623,800 Frenchmen, and 3,000,000 Englishmen forfeited their lives for "democracy" in the Great War. There are no statistics recording the infinite hours spent in physical and mental suffering, loneliness, and heartbreak. No statistics record the contributions these men might have made in literature, science, art, and music. Think of the unfathered families and the happiness that perished with those five million boys. Five million "might have beens" whose blood spattered brains bespangled the trenches of the Western Front. "Might have beens"—a futile note. War is mass futility. Only the educated and physically fit are acceptable as cannon fodder. Yet our public institutions are filled with men no longer useful to society. Modern movies depict the horrors of a technically executed bayoneting scene, and the public accepts them as thrills. Are they thrills to Gold Star Mothers, widows, and orphans? When bands play and youth parades by in martial glory, are those tears in the eyes of women thrills? Is this melodrama? On memorial days when the sob of a mother cuts through the recitation of "In Flanders Fields" and taps are played for "our buddies"—are these thrills? Those men died thinking they were making the world safe for democracy—if they thought at all. Too many were swept by propaganda and stirring music. If those voices could echo today, would they glorify war? Education is training the mind and body so that we may usefully employ our talents. Through education we must destroy the barbaric glorification of war. Nations that fuel their power on human blood fade through the pages of history. Youth for its own sake and for the sake of our country must concentrate its unified energies on world peace. We must not forget those five millions died for democracy. Is it to be a "might have been"? Plainsman Forum—Voice of the Students Suggests Some Talkers In The Show Go Hire A Tent For A Show Of Their Own Editor, The Auburn Plainsman Dear Sir: I would like to take this opportunity to open a subject that concerns every one that attends the local theater. It seems to be a daily pastime of some few of our students to go to the movies and make cracks about the performance. I am sure that these persons do not realize that there are several hundred other persons in the show that payed just as much to see it as themselves. It seems that those that try to "shine" in the audience annoy every one else considerably. I suggest that those who just have to entertain the audience open a tent show just outside the city limits of Auburn I am sure that the attendance would be next to nothing even if there was no admission charge. In other words, who wants to pay twenty-five and thirty-five cents to hear some ignorant fool demonstrate his ability to annoy a whole audience? It is known that the management of the Tiger Theater does not appreciate the un-gentlemanly conduct that is often experienced. Quiet please, N. Ernest. "Shiners" Greatly Irritate Writer; Desires Modesty In Girls Editor, The Auburn Plainsman Dear Sir: Shine . . . Shine . . . Shine . . . exceedingly disgusted do I become watching some girls shine at our dances. Some resort to having the number of "breaks" they get tabulated. Others ask boys that break on them not to dance out of the corner, fearing that if they got into the regular dance circle they might not be seen often enough to get a rush. To them I make the offering of a kettle of herring. Modest??????? the word has long gone into disuse from the want of exercise of its meaning. I am "speaking of a particular group of girls, and not of girls in general, for to do this would certainly be unfair to the many really modest girls that attend our dances and who get above the average number of breaks on their own merit. To the girls who employ trick devices to get a rush I tender my remarks. I feel reasonably sure that those boys who have been to as many dances as I, and who have made the same observations feel the same way with regard to this "Shining" business. Gripingly yours, R. P. W. Students May Be Encouraged To Do Better By Another Look In On Pa. Editor, The Auburn Plainsman Dear Sir: When those of us who were born neither blessed with intelligence nor with a strong inclination to study, go home between semesters and hear again of the struggles, trials, and tribulations that our respective maters and paters are having to give us an education, it will probably be our first thought to dedicate our lives to the worthy cause of helping said parents by staying at home and going to work. However, that spark of renewed ambition to succeed in our books will be fanned considerably by the dire prospect of slaving day after day in either Dad's or Uncle John's general merchandise store, and back to college we shall come with hopes again flaming high. While most of us profess to have already become a man and put away childish things such as New Year resolutions, we have merely postponed our efforts for about three weeks, and with the advent of the new semester, will solemnly resolve to settle down and study. Some will even be conscientious enough to give the matter such serious consideration that they will map out certain hours of study for each day. This practice, if followed will be a revelation; if not, it will at least afford a good laugh several weeks later. There will be some who, even after their touching episodes with the homefolks, can begin the second semester with no sworn pledges to themselves to do better work; but, if your Pa can talk like mine, and still you're not moved to at least resolve to do better, you're a better man than I, Gunga Din! Sincerely, H. S. On Other Campuses—By The Wanderer NSFA MEETS: The National Student Federation of America held its annual convention in New York a few days ago with the object of considering the many and varied problems that confront college students over the United States. The delegates considered the problem of compulsory military training, then sent a resolution to Congress approving the Nye- Kval Bill which will be under consideration this session. This much-discussed bill would remove the compulsory clause from the law requiring students attending land grant colleges to take two years of military training. The convention went on record as opposed to the proposed student anti-war strike which is to be called next April. Delegates felt that the strike would not accomplish the purpose intended—to let the people know that American students are opposed to war, particularly war of aggression. The proposed American Youth Act which would guarantee any person wishing to attend college a job with a minimum wage scale much higher than that of the N. Y. A. was considered. A further benefit of the Act would be the guaranteeing of jobs to college graduates. >-.. * * * ; • * HOUSE PARTY: When the Beta Theta- Pis of Georgia Tech went home for Christmas one of the brothers made the mistake of leaving the house unlocked. The "open house" was soon discovered by two of Atlanta's colored gentry who immediately procured a cart and began to remove everything in the house that was movable. One of the members of the raiding party made the mistake of climbing up the fire escape where he was spotted by a family living nearby. The police were notified. The two scavengers had taken everything down to the mattresses and were busily engaged in removing these when the law arrived. * * * * , DOWN ON COMMENCEMENT: The University of Arkansas Traveler stirred up a hornet's nest when it printed an editorial making fun of commencement week and graduation exercises, calling these two time-honored customs some not-so-cute names and knocking them bitterly. The Associated Press got wind of the jibe and put correspondents on the story to get the opinions of other college paper editors. Now it appears that the Traveler is in the position of Horatius at the bridge, for nearly all the editors consulted were on the other side of the fence. * * * * NEW USE FOR PLEDGES: Each year the pledges of Kappa Phi Lambda at Westminister College are required to make 50 gallons of apple butter, which is plenty of applesauce. Thunderations By HUGH CAMERON It has Juned in January again considering the tight sweaters sardined on the chests of the local feminity. If the required interest is not shown it is due to thinking about the British political situation, and wondering just how Martha Raye would look in one of the same sweaters. * * * * The dentist is the one who one dreams about seeing Karloff for the second show and going to home afterwards to do wrong by the ice box and finding pickled pig's foots. It isn't known for certain but the species of dentist is believed to be closely related to the clan of steel riveters, and concrete busters who use air hammers. A sort of first cousin, as it were, to the oil driller. No matter how good a dentist is he is going to make you feel like you should have went to Sunday school the past Sunday instead of lolling around in bed wondering who brung you home the night before. They can be nice and they can smile and they can use the utmost discretion in tromping around your palate, but somehow they always leave the impression that someone has just been busting concrete to put in a new sewer. Having just been cornered by one after four years of dodging I feel sure a country road has been resurfaced and a few covered bridges have been removed from inside. Most any man would rather call his one and only wife a freckled-face fool, and stand the consequences, than have to go to a dentist just for a teeth cleaning. As Mae would say . . . they bother me. * * * * Clyde McCoy's trumpet and all other trumpets have about been replaced by a new kind of instrument . J . . the concertina. Not that McCoy can push one of the things, but when he was going gone with his horn the remainder of the orchestras had one they kind of blew to imitate his kind of blowing. The imitation has started in again and is now aping Shep Field's concertina player. Geo. Hamilton, the present Veloz and Yo-lande maestro has a concertina pusher that is very good, almost as good as Shep Field's but not quite. Four out of every ten orchestras one hears now has such an instrument. And three out of every four have a piano player who tries to ape Carmen, of Al Kalvelin's orchestra, and Eddie Duchin. Carmen is above Duchin, and has a contract that says his name must be read every time he plays the piano. I suppose if some fool in some orchestra could learn how to blow a bazooka better than Bob Burns some few orchestras would incorporate such a thing in their orchestras. But hasn't as yet any other girl started singing like Martha Raye. * * * * Seme few local debs have tried after two Bottles of beer, after a good roll calling, but they haven't as yet tried the dance step she does after going into high gear.

FRIDAY, JANUARY IS, 1937 T H E A U B U R N P L A I N S M AN A L A B A M A P O L Y T E C H N I C INSTITUTE P A G E T H R EE LIST OF 'DANCING DON'TS' GIVEN BY FAMOUS NEW YORK TEACHER Arthur Murray, New York's Leading Dance Instructor, Tells "Him" And "Her" How To Do On Dance-Floor; Writer Suggests Trying These Rules Before Mid-Terms Begin "Lowell Thomas is "shy", Lincoln Ellsworth is "weak-kneed", Octavus Roy Cohen has no sense of humor and Gene Tunney's footwork is terrible." This is the statement of Dance Teacher Arthur Murray in the Literary Digest. Mr. Murray explains that this is because these men lost the calm self-control and assurance that brought them to the top in their chosen professions once they set trembling foot on the dance floor. And it is this man's job to make sure that those so desiring may make a creditable showing on the waxed floor as well as in their professions. Arthur Murray was a former student of Georgia Tech and began giving lessons to make a little pocket change. He now has studios in New York and not only teaches, but has over 200 instructors under his supervision. This noted teacher has made up a dozen "don'ts" for "him" and "her" on the dance-floor. It is drawing near the time when quite a large number to prepare for the Mid-terms, so read these rules, get your room-mate, and practice by the following "don'ts": Him—1. Don't crouch when you dance. This shows a narrow, belligerent, jealous nature. 2. Don't hold your partner's hand with your palm upward. Grasp it with an overclasp to show dominance. 3. Don't be wooden-footed. Flick the feet occasionally. Humor, spirit, generosity, vitality show in the pedal extremities. 4. Don't try a dozen steps with a girl who.knows only one. If you do, you are an egotist, to say nothing of an optimist. 5. Don't point the toes too obviously unless you want people to know you are conceited. 6. Don't stare into space with fixed eyes or dance one beat ahead of the Auburn Feed & Seed Store FEED, SEED, SUPPLIES Call Us For All Kinds Local Hauling Phone 86-J FORRENT NEW BRICK DUPLEX APARTMENT 1 Five Room - 1 Six Room Available for Occupancy on or before February 1st. Payne St.—Near High School Harvey C. Pitts, Agency Always Ready—All ways music. This shows you are obnoxiously artistic. 7. Don't raise your elbows too high, it means you are proud and vain. Too low means you lack confidence, but moderately high shows that you are a go-getter. 8. Don't walk and push your partner ahead of you. This is dull and inconsiderate. 9. Don't flounder. Relax, but keep yourself together. This shows you have everything under control. 10. Don't be an arm-pumper. Do your setting-up exercises at home. 11." Don't talk if you can't talk and dance at the same time. 12. Be animated, but don't exaggerate. Honesty' in step and stride show a broad forbearing personality. Her—1. Don't hang on your partner. Balance yourself with your left hand back of his right shoulder. 2. Don't plod or put your heel down first and then your toe. This shows you are egocentric and self-assured. 3. Don't turn your toes outward or those who know will accuse you of being sensual and self-indulgent. 4. Beware the man who cups his pal mover your back. It is a symbol of possessiveness. 5. Don't waltz and fox-trot exclusively. People will know you are strait-laced. 6. Don't dance with your shoulders. It shows you are coy and unreliable. Spend your energy in your feet. 7. Don't giggle or carry on long conversations. This shows you lack rhythm and are trying to distract your partner's attention. P.S.—It won't fool him. 8. Keep alert and be ready to move in four directions—but not all at once. 9. Don't wiggle. It is not pleasant to dance with a worm. 10. Don't wave your arms. You will probably miss the lead and stumble, and it shows you are temperamental. • . 11. Don't stick out in the rear. This throws excess weight on your partner's chest and is very bad form. 12. Keep the spirit of dancing free, generous, kindly and wholesome.

CAMP HILL BEATEN TWICE BY AUBURN HIGH, 26 - 1 1 , 22 - 8 Paul Star, Tiger Center, Leads Scoring With Eleven Points; Play Five Points Tonight By LEE SMITH Auburn High opened its basketball season with a 26 to 11 victory over Camp Hill's five Wednesday night at the.„Camp Hill gymnasium. Paul Star, Auburn's center, lead the scoring for the locals with 11 points and was followed by Charles Ham and Jack Bright with 7 and 5 points respectively. The two Auburn guards, Chritzberg and Mitchell, did a good job of guarding their opponents but did not make many points, Chritzberg 3 and Mitchell none. The first game was followed by a game between the Camp Hill second team and the Auburn third and fourth string. Auburn was lead in this game by Pete Almquist, an all-around defensive man and a fine shot. He was the main cog in this game, being high scorer for Auburn and holding his opponent to a very low score. Auburn won this game by a score of 22 to 8. The other players on this team were Jack Moore, Jack Hill, David Gardner, and John T. Hudson. The small but fast Auburn five plays another game Friday night against Five Points and another Saturday against Tallassee. Glass bricks, capable of transmitting 87.5 per cent light, are being used in the construction of the new south unit engineering shop on the campus of the University of Kentucky. The Granddaughter's Club at State Teacher's College, Farmville, Virginia, consists of girls whose grandmother or mother attended Farmville State Teacher's College. Coach Morgan's absence from Auburn makes it rather futile to discuss boxing and wrestling. However, after talking to several of the members of last year's team and noting their interest, it remains a mystery why someone else doesn't take over tlfe reins, at least temporarily. Both sports are worthy of a place in Auburn and the cost of maintaining them isn't prohibitive. * * * Those new basketball uniforms did something to the stands, judging from the numerous "ohs" and "ahs" which arose after the basketeers removed their sweat clothes. * * * Seems to be some doubt as to whether or not the polo team will receive the necessary appropriation this year. 'Twould be rather a shame if they didn't. Captain Klepinger has turned out some fine teams here, the sport has a large following, and it is truly a gentleman's game—three good reasons for its continuing here. * * * Whoever said that basketball wasn't a rough game will have to argue with Red Childers and Dave Rogers. Childers bears a split lip containing three stitches as mute testimony to the roughness of the contest Saturday night while Rogers has a wrist closely resembling a balloon to attest to the fact that he was in a hot scrimmage during one of the practice ses- Wonder why Auburn doesn't have intercollegiate sports for its co-eds? The University is well represented by girls' teams and they seem to do pretty well in that field, as do numerous other colleges. Is it possible that Auburn is still clinging to those ancient ideas concerning women's place being in the home? * * * With the fraternity basketball teams practicing nightly, it should not be long before the independent league starts to function. Or isn't there going to be any independent league? Prospect Swimmers Begin Work On Monday Under Woodward Auburn's 1937 tank-team officially began practice last Monday as announced by Coach-Captain Brant Woodard. An exceptionally large number of potential mermen are training each day preparing themselves for coming meets. The swimming roster is not yet complete but it is probable that the Auburn tankmen will open the season against Ga. Tech the latter part of February. At the present time Captain Woodard is scheduling practice solely for conditioning purposes. As yet nothing definite can be said as to the ability of the swimmers although the Freshmen as well as the Varsity will exceed previous Auburn tank-teams; at any rate as far as man-power is concerned. Lambda Chi Elects New Chapter Heads The Lambda Chi Alpha fraternity held its annual election of officers at its regular Wednesday night meeting. The following men were elected to office for the coming scholastic year 1937: President, Max Weldon, We-tumpka; Vice President, Ernest Floyd, Huntsville; Treasurer, Bradt Cameron, Birmingham; Secretary, Roy Fleming, Brundidge. William E. Benns, of Montgomery, was elected House manager, and Milton Wood, also of Montgomery, will be in charge of all fraternity initiations.

SEVERAL FRAT TEAMS PRACTICE FOR COMING HOOP TOURNAMENT Sigma Nu's And Kappa Alpha's Seem To Have Edge On Other Frats A s Coming Exams Do Not Keep Squads From Practice For Interfrat Tournament To Start After Examinations By JOHN WATTERS Although exams are only a week off some fraternity men seem to have plenty of time off from studies to tend to this matter of basketball. Every night over at the gymnasium some fraternity teams battles it out in practice games. The first of this week the K. A.'s engaged the Che-wacla Camp CCC boys and won a hard-fought contest from them. The Sigma Nu's at' this time seem to be entitled to the favorite's spot in the Mrs. Bashinsky New Chairman Of U.D.C. COACH D£t-u MOfZGrt/v Coach Del Morgan, head baseball and assistant football coach at Auburn, is being considered for the position of head coach at North Carolina State. FORTY FRESHMEN START PRACTICE FOR COURT TEAM Elmer Salter Will Have Charge Of Plebes While Morgan Is On Leave; Prospects Good Forty candidates for the 1937 freshmen basketball team reported to Elmer Salter while Coach Morgan is out of town, last Tuesday, January 5, at Alumni Gymnasium and have been progressing nicely since then. To date the practice sessions have been mainly devoted to conditioning exercises and basket shooting with little scrimmaging. Although there has not been sufficient time to form any definite opinions on the merits of any of the players, Baker, Belin, Gibson, Douglas, Dickson, Jordan, Soaker, Bush, Fleming and Ginter have stood out from the rest. The frosh will open their season against Lanett in Lanett this Friday night, January 15. The starting team will be selected from the above-mentioned men. Patronize Plainsman advertisers. Mrs. L. M. Bashinsky, of Troy, has been appointed chairman of the general United Daughters of the Confederacy committee for the raising of funds for the erection of a $20,000 bronze statue of Jefferson Davis which is to be placed on the grounds of the State Capitol at Montgomery, according to announcement here of Mrs. Herman D. Jones president of the Alabama Division, U. D. C. The appointment was made by Mrs. John L. Woodbury, Louisville, Ky., president general of the organization. Mrs. J. H. Crenshaw, of Montgomery, was named by Mrs. Jones as director of the drive for funds in Alabama, with other members of her committee to be announced later. Erection of the statue to commemorate the life of Jefferson Davis, President of the Confederacy, has been adopted as a project by the U. D. C. organization throughout the Southland. Bessie L. Hamilton Accepts Position At - Seale High School Miss Bessie Lee Hamilton, who will finish in Home Demonstration in January and who is receiving special examination a week early, will go to work Monday, January 11 in Seale. coming tournament. This fraternity team boasts such fine basketeers as: Bobbie Blake, Billy Hitchcock, and Bruce McGehee who have already proven themselves as athletes on the campus and who are plenty good at basketball too. With the heighth and experience this team has they should be hard to beat. The Sigma Nu's and the K. A.'s have played a series of practice games and although the Sigma Nu's seem to hold the edge it is very slight indeed. The K. A.'s have some good players in Ralph 'O'Gynne, "Bevo" Biggin, and Horace Weis-singer. Weissinger is a new-comer to Auburn, having transferred from B'ham-Southern after his freshman year. This boy is about six-foot-one and has led the K. A.'s in scoring so far this season in all practice games. In these warm-up games the Theta Chi team has shown up very well and with a little more experience this team will give their opponents plenty of trouble when the play in the fraternity bracket begins following exams.

The conference was held all during this week. "Cash for farm living probably will be a little higher in 1937 than 1936," said Nell Pickens, economist and home management specialist, in discussing theJ farm family living outlook for the year. "More families probably will make major home improvements in 1937 and 1936. "Not much change in prices for 'all goods' for family living, but 'all foods' may be slightly higher," she said. "No marked change in clothing prices except for leather goods, which may be higher." In addition to studying the living outlook for 1937 the agents are attending demonstrations in home management, foods and clothing. The demonstrations in home management include house furnishings and arrangement, equipment for the farm home, renovation of furniture and furnishings, home improvements, home sanitation and water systems. The food demonstrations include the preparation and preservation of milk, eggs, meats, salads, bread, pastry, cakes, as well as giving latest information on table service, afternoon teas and the preparation of breakfasts and dinners. The clothing demonstrations include dress fitting, coat making, dress design, planning an inexpensive wardrobe, dress accessories and style trims, foundation garments and slips and good grooming. Helen Johnston, state home demonstration agent, is in charge. She is being assisted by Elizabeth Delony, state girls 4-II club leader, Helen Kennedy, foods specialist, Ruth Dobyne, May I. Cureton, Elizabeth Forney, and Miss Pickens, district agents.

Graves feels that some of the legislators should attend the inauguration because of what the President has done for Alabama. Several of the legislators have shown their desire to attend the affair. The liquor bill comes up again today as a special order of business. It was introduced last Friday and defeated, but was revised Tuesday by reconsidering the adverse vote. Sen. Bonner, leader of the wets, said that he didn't know how things stand and the wets didn't either and that this was how close the fight was. AUBURN QUINT FACES SEWANEE FIVE IN TWO TILTS THIS WEEK-END (Continued from Page 1) shown up well in the past two encounters. Frank Hamm, junior, has seen little action to date due to the fact that he was kept busy with football until January 1, but has been progressing nicely and may see action against Sewanee. Sewanee Has Weak Team The Sewanee aggregation has shown no startling basketball talent so far this season, but may be counted on to give the TigeTs a good battle. Insofar as this will be the first collegiate competition to be met this year by the Plainsmen, a great deal of interest will be evinced in the games in order to determine how they will stack up against such competition. A return brace of games will be played in Auburn on Monday and Tuesday, February 8 and 9, at which time the student body will be given an opportunity to see the team in action. It is possible that two tentative games arranged with Louisiana State will be played here next week, but this is not certain. The probable starting line-up for the initial contest with Sewanee will consist of Rex McKissick and Malvern Morgan or Theron Karge at the forward posts, Red Childers on the pivot- position, and Joel Eaves and Andrew Curlee on the guard posts. Childers received a split lip necessitating three stitches to be taken in the Fort Benning tilt so it may be that Tommie Edwards will be given first call. Cowart Elected Head Of Agricultural Club For Next Semester STUART WRIGHT, OF PEACE GROUP, IS VISITOR HERE (Continued from Page 1) and others, discussion of the work of the campaign resulted in the conclusion that a committee of faculty and student leaders should be appointed to promote the work of the Emergency Peace Campaign on the campus. The committee will be named by Executive Secretary P. O. Davis within the next few days.

R. C. CONFERENCE PLANS ARE BEING COMPLETED Both houses of the Alabama legislature have enacted laws transferring the three divisions of the Alabama Polytechnic Institute from the general fund to the educational trust fund. They become laws with the signature of Governor Graves. The senate acted prior to the Christmas recess and the House acted by unanimous vote on Thursday of this week. Three bills were required—one for the college, another for the extension service and a third for the experiment station. The change was advocated by President L. N. Duncan and others engaged in educational work. Included in the bill affecting the general college were all educational institutions in Alabama. The change means that practically all state educational functions are now on an educational trust fund and thereby not involved in the general fund where appropriations are made to the detriment of education. national Relations Club.
