Stuart Peebles Will Lead
Opening Dances Here
New Rules Are Set
For Library Use
Because of the large increase of
the student body, the library of
the Alabama Polytechnic Institute
has drawn up formal rules for
registration of students, employees
of the college, and near-by resi­dents,
according to announcement
of Miss Mary E. Martin, librarian.
A library fee of two dollars is
required for college registration.
After a student has paid his fee
he should carry his registration
card to the library where it will
be initialed to show that he has
put his signature to an identifi­cation
card at the library, to ex­plain
the rules. He may get a
book out immediately if he wishes.
Registration cards with identify­ing
signatures for other members
of his family will be required of
all college employees. There will
be no charge. Books may be bor­rowed
for two weeks with privi­leges
of renewal. Members of the
family are expected to comply
with the rules about immediate
attention to notices about over­due
books, fines, or return of
books needed by college classes.
Books required for department­al
use for a month, a semester, or
the college year may be obtained
by request of the dean. Books will
be transferred to any of the five
departmental libraries by request
of the dean.
Any householder may pay a fee
of two dollars which will entitle
him or any member of his family
whose signature is on the identi­fying
card to borrow books not
needed for college purposes. These
/ persons are expected to keep the
library rules, otherwise privi­leges
of library may be withdrawn
without return of the fee which is
good for one scholastic year.
NOTICE
To Freshmen and Upperclass-men:
Athletic Ticket Books will
be issued to Freshmen and Upper-classmen
who had their pictures
made during registration begin­ning
Wednesday afternoon, Sept.
15, 1 to 5 p. m. through Thursday
afternoon, 1 to 5 p. m. Do not call
for these books during the morn­ing
hours. Please bring registra­tion
card with you! Office is lo­cated
in^Boys' Gymnasium, first
floor.
Stuart Peebles has been select­ed
to lead the Grand March of
the Opening Dances next Friday
night at 11:30 p. m., with John
Ivey, president of the Sophomore
class. This information was re­leased
by Ed Duncan, Chairman
of the Social Committee, early this
morning.
Miss Peebles is a Sophomore,
having attended Montevallo last
year. This marks the first time
that any co-ed has ever led the
opening during their first year
here, and is considered quite an
honor. Miss Peebles is a resident
of Mooreville. Although she has
only been here for a short while,
she is considered one of the most
popular of the campus favorites.
She is not a sorority member.
John Ivey, Miss Peebles' escort,
will have. had the privilege to
lead his class dance twice whep
the occasion arrives, having led
the Frosh dance last year.
At this time Chairman Duncan
announced that the ticket sales
was gaining headway and a record
crowd is predicted. It is his opin­ion
that the popular five-dollar
ticket and the outstanding Au­burn
Knights should insure a
fine set of dances. He also request­ed
that all bids for visiting girls
be ready by Saturday, for at that
time they will be taken up by
members of the committee.
Country Club Offers Low
Fee To College Students
Special low rates to college stu­dents
have been made by officials
of the Auburn Country Club which
are expected to result in a record
number using the tennis and golf
facilities of the club this year.
For student membership in the
club for the school year (nine
months), which both tennis and
golf privileges, the rate will be
$12.50. For one semester the cost
is $7.50. The monthly rate is $3,
and the charge for one day is 50
cents.
Students may .obtain tennis pri­vileges
for the school year at
$7.50; $4.50 per semester; $1:50
per month; and 25 cents a day.
For those other than students
the yearly club membership rate
is $25; for the school year, $19;
$3 per month; and 50 cents per
day. Membership with only tennis
privileges for non-students is
$12.50 per year; $9.50 per school
year; $1.50 per month; and 25
cents per day.
Reception Be Given
Saturday Night
By Blue Key
Freshmen Will Be In­troduced
To Deans
And Officials
Blue Key will sponsor the an­nual
Freshman Reception Saturday
night from seven until nine o'­clock
at the President's Mansion.
All members of the Freshman
class are urged to attend these ex­ercises,
which serve as a main part
of the orientation of those stu­dents
just entering school.
The new students will be met
by the members of Blue Key
who in turn will personally in­troduce
them to President and
Mrs. Duncan, Executive Secretary
and Mrs. Draughon, Colonel and
Mrs. T. D. Samford, Extension
Director and Mrs. P. O. Davis,
Coach and Mrs. Jack Meagher, Dr.
and Mrs. B. F. Thomas, and the
Deans of all the schools and their
wives. The receiving line will be
composed of a total of thirty ex­ecutives
and heads of the various
departments of the Alabama Poly­technic
Institute.
The Cavaliers, college orchestra
of thirteen pieces, directed by
Jimmie Hooper, will furnish a var­ied
program of music suited to
the temper of the occasion. This
band has kindly volunteered its
services for the occasion, which is
indicative of their interest in the
students just entering school.
During the course of the even­ing,
refreshments will be served.
And in order to make the recep­tion
more informal and inviting,
the students are expected to engage
in informal chats with fellow stu­dents
and any of the officials pre­sent.
Shortly after eight o'clock, Head
Cheerleader Jack Adams will
teach and lead the freshmen in
some' of the yells which will be
used during the coming year.
Blue Key, the organization that
is sponsoring and engineering this
reception, is a national honor so­ciety
for college seniors. This or­ganization
is made up of the class
leaders and, being vitally inter­ested
in college and student act-icities,
naturally takes a leading
part in the major issues of the
campus. This is the fifth Fresh­man
Reception to be sponsored by
Blue Key.
Blue Key is composed of John
Pollard, president; David Cox,
vice-president; Jack Adams, sec­retary
and treasurer; James Bun-tin,
Aubrey Garrison, George Har­rison,
Armistead Harper, Dave
Hamilton, Chandler Jordan, Billy
Mastin, Malcolm McDonald, Ralph
O'Gwynne, Bob Strain, Jack Vann,
and Dantes York.
School Inaugurates First
Co-Op Courses Here
Cooperative courses in the A.
P. I. School of Engineering have
been inaugurated to permit stu­dents
to alternate college study
with employment in industrial
plants.
Courses are being offered in
chemical, electrical, industrial,
mechanical, civil, and textile en­gineering.
Students taking the
courses are divided into two sec­tions,
one working while the other
attends school. Sections change
at the beginning of each regular
term session and at the beginning
of summer school.
Requirements for admission to
the cooperative courses are that
the student be 18 years of age;
that he be recommended by his
high school principal; that he
rank in the upper third of his
class while in school. Degrees in
the various courses are. earned
in five years.
Alex O. Taylor, Auburn gra­duate
of 1921 and prominent in
state engineering circles, is head
of the new service. Response from
manufacturers and students, he
says, "has been satisfactory."
NOTICE «
All students wishing to work
on the Business Staff of the Plains­man
meet at the Pi Kappa Rhi
house Sunday night at 7:00. There
are places on the staff for eight
Freshmen who are willing to work.
- - While They Swing
Auburn Knights Will Not
Appear Until Openings
Cavaliers Play For
A-Club Dance
The first "A" Club Dance of
the 1937-38 session will be held in
the Alumni Gymnasium tomorrow
night, beginning at nine o'clock,
Billy Hitchcock, president of the
"A" Club, stated.
The Auburn Cavaliers have been
engaged to furnish music for the
occasion. This local college or­chestra
is now composed of thir­teen
pieces and is under the di­rection
of Jimmie Hooper. They
have just returned from a tour that
was rather localized along the
Gulf coast. They will be well pre­pared
to render a fine selection of
dance and novelty numbers, ac­cording
to the director.
By referring to Social Calendar,
which will be printed in the next
issue of the Plainsman, the exact
number, and date of each "A"
Club dance may be determined.
These dances have always been
noted for their easy informality.
During the course of the evening
ther,e will be two "A" Club lead-outs
and three no-breaks. As per
usual, the scrip for the dance will
be one dollar per couple.
Aero Club Begins
Third Year Here
The Auburn Aero Club began
its third year of active operation
on Wednesday afternoon when
Jimmie Sharman took the club's
plane on a short solo hop over
Auburn. A number of new stu­dents
have already begun their
flight training. These students in­clude:
Davis Manning, Francis
Bagby, and Bill Johnson. Others
who have signified their intention
of beginning their instruction soon
are: Trafford, Luther Doty, Olds,
Broadhead, Hassel, Larry Carru-thers,
Bert Knox, Billy Guest,
Charles Roberts, Mike Ellis, Lum­pkin
and Horace Cooke.
The Club wishes to extend to
all students and any other interest­ed
person an invitation to visit the
field and inspect the clubs e-quipment.
For the benefit of those
wishing to take sight-seeing trips
the club wil continue the opera­tion
of the passenger hopping ser­vice
they began last year. These
trips may be had at any time, and
the club's instructors are at the
field every week-day afternoon
as well as Saturday and Sunday.
The Club at present has one
plane at the airport but they have
access to two other planes which
will be used as the ocgasion war­rants.
The large number of stu­dents
who have already become
interested has indicated an even
greater interest in flying and pre­sages
for the club a larger or­ganization
than that held last year.
The club is one of the largest
collegiate flying units and has
compiled a record of safe opera­tion
surpassing even a majority
of established commercial organ­izations.
Returning to Auburn after
playing a series of popular dance
spots in the East and Middle West
during the summer, the Auburn
Knights begin their campus en­gagements
by playing the Opening
Dances next Friday.
This popular band, composed
entirely of students, has been
thrown right into the big time
competition with some of the bet­ter
known bands of our country
for the past three months and has
acquired a degree of efficiency
seldom perfected by a college or­chestra.
The Knights are under the di­rection
of Doug Jarrad and under
the managership of Frank Speight
both of whom have been with the
band for two years...
With a library of over three
hundred special arrangements on
popular and standard dance tunes,
i
the Knights also have a series of
novelty tunes, glee club and come­dy
sketches which were accepted
dance fans of the East,
with wide approval from the
The Knights play a style of
music that is characterized by con­trasting
sweet and swing ar­rangements.
Ham, Laird Replace
Futch, Des Islets
Changes in the personnel of the
Military Department for the com­ing
year consist of the transfer of
Major Futch and Captain Des Is­lets
to other posts and their re­placement
by Major Laird and
Captain Ham.
Major Laird, originally of Sa­vannah,
Ga., is a graduate of the
University of Georgia in Civil En­gineering,
class of 1912, After
graduation he entered the engi­neering
division of the army. He
served overseas during the war,
being a captain at the end of the
conflict. For five years Major
Laird was engaged in National
Guard work at Huntsville, Ala.
Before coming to Auburn he was
Assistant United States Engineer
at Detroit, Mich.
Captain Lewis H. Ham, whose
home is Knightstown, Indiana,
is a graduate of the United States
Military Academy, Class of 1927.
Captain Ham was transferred to
A. P. I. from the 7th Field Artil­lery,
Ethan Allen, Vermont. He
will teach sophomores and juniors
in Field Artillery.
Olin Hill Moves
To New Store
The establishment of Olin L.
Hill's tailoring and men's furnish­ing
has been transferred to College
Street and will be located between
the Tiger Drugstore and the Col­lege
Barber Shop.
Following the popular trend of
today, the store will be equipped
with a modernistic front with a
cloth awning. The botton panel of
the window display case wlil be
done in the black construction
glass used by other merchants for
their new exteriors.
Convocation Held
Today For Frosh
Langdon Hall was packed Fri­day
morning when Auburn's fresh­man
class of more than 700 memb­ers
gathered at the first convoca­tion
of the year to receive an of­ficial
welcome to the Alabama
Polytechnic Institute by President
L. N. Duncan, the various deans,
and officers of the students' Un­dergraduate
Association.
Max Welden, Wetumpka, pres­ident
of the student Executive
Cabinet, presided at the session
and introduced the various faculty
and student officials.
Dr. Duncan said that the en­rollment
this week would probably
exceed that for the entire session
last year when 2,593 students
were registered. At present the
number of students enrolled ex­ceeds-
that of the same date last
year by approximately 350.
Although the freshman class
was limited this year principally
to Alabama students and a small
number from adjoining states, the
number of first-year students is
the largest in the history of the
institution. Between 700 and 800
applications for admission to the
class by students in distant states
were declined by the college this
summer.
The new students were invited
by the deans and officials to visit
their offices at any time that as­sistance
or information was de­sired
in connection with courses
or problems of college life at Au­burn.
The convocation period was
brought to a rousing climax when
Jack Adams, head Auburn cheer­leader
from Alexander City, led
the freshmen in a series of Au­burn
cheers.
Members of the freshman class
were invited to attend the annual
President's reception for new stu­dents
Saturday evening, 7 to 9, at
the Mansion. The event is being
sponsored by Blue Key.
The deans who were present
and most of whom made short
talks to the new students includ­ed
Dr. George Petrie, of the gra­duate
school; Dr. John J. Wilmore,
of the engineering school; Miss
Zoe Dobbs, dean of women and
social director; Dr. M. J. Fun-chess,
of the school of agricul­ture;
Dean F. C. Biggin, of the
architecture and allied arts
school; Dean C. L. Hare, school
of chemistry and pharmacy; Dr.
Zebulon Judd, school of educa­tion;
Col. F. C. Wallace, of the
school of military science and tac­tics;
Miss Dana Gatchell, acting
head of the home economics school,
Dr. I. S. McAdory, of the veteri­nary
school; and Dr. J. W. Scott,
of the science and literature school.
Ralph B. Draughon, executive sec­retary
of the college, was also pre­sented
to the freshmen.
Student officers presented to the
new class included James Buntin,
Pansy, and C. M. Pruet, Ashland,
editor and business manager of
the plainsman; Morris Hall, Jasper,
and Jarvis Brown, Montgomery,
editor and business manager of
the Glomerata; Edward Duncan,
Alexander City, chairman of the
student social committee; George
Hairston, Birmingham, president
of the Inter-Fraternity Council;
Lester Antley, Elloree, S. C, cap­tain
of the 1937 football team; Bill

To Montgomery
Student Ticket Books
Be Used As Tickets
On Train
The Athletic Committee an­nounced
that the entire student
body would travel free of charge
by special train to the Birming­ham-
Southern game in Montgom­ery,
Sept. 24.
The .Committee felt that in fair­ness
to the student body and to
the public no game should be play­ed
locally without adequate facili­ties
to care for the crowd. It is
probable, therefore, that no game
will be played until the proposed
field-house and athletic field are
completed.
However, to compensate the
student body for the absence of a
locally played game, the Athletic
Committee has chartered two spe­cial
trains to provide free trans­portation
to the game. Both trains
will leave Auburn Friday after­noon'
and return after the game
that night. On arrival in Mont­gomery,
a parade will be held.
Railroad officials have secured
thirty day coaches to care for the
students, renting some from Cin-cinnatti.
No students can travel
by train to the game free of
charge except on the specials, as
regular train equipment will be
cut to the minimum to secure cars
for the specials.
Students will use stub number
one in the student book to secure
a ticket to the game, and stub
number two will serve as a train
ticket. Student tickets to the game
will be issued in the usual man­ner
from ticket office in Gym­nasium,
the date to be announced
later. On the return trip, stub
number three will probably take
the place of a train ticket.
The team will travel to Mont­gomery
by car and return imme­diately
after the game.
Tigers Prepare For
First Tilt Of Year
With the initial scrimmage al­most
a reality, the Auburn Tigers
have been increasing their tempo
in football practice this week, in
preparation for their first encoun­ter
of the season against Birming­ham-
Southern, Sept. 24.
The Plainsmen got the heaviest
workout of their training season
Wednesday and Thursday. There
was the matter of banging into'
dummies, both blocking and tack­ling,
side-stepping and field-re­versing
drills for the backs, and
charging practice for the lines­men.
The backs devoted most of
the afternoon to defense pass work.
About the only positive starters
are Captain Les Antley at center,
Bo Russell at tackle, and Billie
Hitchcock and Jimmie Fenton at
the halfback posts. And even the
above men may be ousted from
their positions by some hard-work­ing
sophomores.
There is a real fight going on
for the end positions. The station­ing
of Max Harrison at end perm­anently
is expected to give Auburn
one of the finest flank staffs in
the Southeastern Conference. Os­car
Burford, who developed rapid-lyj
last season, looms as a proba­bility
for one regular end job.
The other is being fought for by
Rex McKissack, Frank Hamm,
Standi Whatley, Chester Bulger,
Ezra Reeves, Gus 'Pearson and
Jack Mercer.
The fullback position is causing
Coach Jack Meagher no end of
worry. A mighty big gap exists
there, now that Wilton Kilgore
has graduated. Dutch Heath, Pel-ham
Sitz and Kermit Weaver are
all being groomed for this po­sition.
Neither Heath, who is a
letterman in this position, nor Sitz
happens to be large, as fullbacks
go, and only Weaver has the ad­vantage
of weight.
Freddie Holman, dependable
reserve carry-over, is running at
the other tackle right now, but is
being pushed for his position by
Gordon McEachern, Bill Nichols
and George Wolff.

COLLEGE SHOULD ENLARGE
TO MEET INCREASES
Enrollment at Auburn increased by ap­proximately
ten per cent this year but hun­dreds
of students were turned away be­cause
of insufficient housing facilities. Fa­cilities
for women students are even
scarcer than those for men students. The
college is also in dire need of more build­ings
and a large faculty.
Auburn is a popular school because of
its democratic spirit, and every year more
students apply for entrance only to find
that the college is not expanding in pro­portion
to its popularity. The students who
aire fortunate enough to gain admittance
find their classes, boarding houses, and
rooms growing more crowded every time
they return.
It should be the resolution of the college
to find some way to care for every appli­cant
who qualifies for admission.. Funds
for building men's arid women's domor-tories
should be solicited from the state
or national government, or' some private
enterprise should be encouraged to pro­vide
these facilities. Were the college some­what
larger it could offer more advant­ages
and the enlargement of the school de­pends
upon housing all prospective stu­dents.
TRAFFIC LIGHT NEEDED
AT BUSY CORNER
Over two thousand students risk their
lives every day in Auburn when they
cross the corner of College Street and
Magnolia Avenue. In addition to the dan­ger
to the pedestrians, hundreds of moto­rists
narrowly escape collisions at the
saine corner. It is time something was done
to regulate the heavy traffic on this corner.
Tuesday two cars collided on this dang­erous
corner, but there was no serious dam­age
done. However, at any time there may
be a wreck or ah accident that will be seri­ous.
College Street has become a speedway
for local cars and through traffic is heavy
enough to be dangerous.
So, in the interest of safety, the college
or the city should provide a traffic light
for this corner. The installation of such a
light would provide a speed breaker for
racing cars and give the heavy pedestrian
traffic a chance to cross the street in saf­ety.
COLLEGE FRATERNITIES
DESERVE MORE CREDIT
The American college fraternity has
never been given its rightfully deserved
credit for the part it plays in the lives of
our students today. The fraternity has been
condemned in hundreds of discourses, ver­bal
and written, and many, distorted pic­tures
of fraternity life have been painted.
The painters of these pictures, as a rule,
are either outsiders who do not under­stand
and appreciate the merits of fra-ternilization
or are outsiders who do un­derstand
and have become fanatic an­tagonists
as a result of their not having
been chosen for membership by one of the
organizations.
Fraternity life is an urireplacable in­stitution
in American colleges and too
much in favor of the fraternity can not be
said. From the fraternity, men get practi­cal
education that they can't get through
the perusing of books. The fraternity con-.
tributes distinguishing qualities to men
that strengthen both mind and character.
In fraternities men learn to work to­gether
and, in so doing, learn the first pre­requisite
to business success. The intima­cies
of continued companionship yield
character, and ideals are crystallized, that
is, "wavy" ideas become ideals. The ex­perience
of running a house rules with­out
senior supervision is splendid training
for any man regardless of his professional
intentions.
To group together a number of men
with fairly similar tastes and ideas and to
unite them in view of a common ideal is
education that the non-fraternity man
misses. Fraternity scholarship standards
are conducive to good grades. Observing
the habits and being in position to profit by
the undesirable habits of fellow students
improves a man's poise and personality in
general. The leisure time that is so often
wasted by students is utilized by fraternity
men in wholesome environment such as
inter-fraternity athletics and the like. An­other
benefit that is valuable indeed is
the enlargement of contacts that result
from membership in a fraternity.
Fraternities are a vital part of college
life and the writings and verbal discourses
to the contrary have long been disproved
by the calibre men that the fraternity pro­duces.
The light of high ideals dominates
American fraternities and they are mak­ing
many would-be men into men.
SUBJECTIVE MATTER OF
PAPER IS SATIRIZED
The Plainsman, being a college newspap­er,
must needs be involved exclusively with
Vogue Collegia. Serenading young college
romeoes, large, thundering mass meetings,
hazing-bent upperclassmen, innocent and
trembling freshmen must be treated in our
editorials and news stories to the full ex­tent
of their indispensible position in col­lege
institutions.
Our writing staff shall naturally be of
two main divisions, of which, one shall
spend its time clipping jokes, composing
ditties, and devising publicity schemes for
those regal figures who bask in the campus
limelight, while the other shall deal whol­ly
with the scandal creations of students
and professors. With this staff working
smoothly and consistently, a complete cov­erage
of campus news should be the re­ward
of our diligent labors..
It has been rumored that a few illigiti-mate
college papers, have ventured to make
this part of their staff a minor constituent
of their writing body. It is said that they
have dealt in their puny and brazen man­ner
with state, national, and international-questions
and the usual hooey, that inter­ests
old men only. There has been an ele­ment
abroad on some campuses that has
been harassing the editors to include some
of the serious and practical minded in­consistences
that are continually arising
to disrupt the life of the student. If the full
cooperation of the student body and col­lege
can be secured in the direction of the
goal which has been outlined in the fore­going,
you can easily see what a FINE
NEWSPAPER we will have.
NEW SPORT PROGRAM IS
IS WELCOME ADDITION
t
Sports at Auburn in the past have been
too specialized in major activities to in­clude
the average student who is not es­pecially
gifted but has, at the same time,
an active interest in sports. Polo,, swim­ming,
and the rifle team have become
minor sports and are giving many students,
who would not otherwise take part in any
activity, a chance to enjoy competetive
sports.
The average student does not have the
time to make sports his major interest on
the campus, but only wants to spend part
of his spare time getting exercise in the
game of his choice. Fencing, tennis, golf,
wrestling, and boxing have many enthusi­astic
followers on the campus who must
organize private groups themselves or
enter their activity unorganized-
Fraternities have had intra-mural sports
in the past but non-fraternity men have
had hardly any chance to take part in any
sport program. This year with the new
physical education department there will
be intra-mural sports for everyone with
team and individual competition. Teams
will be organized by fraternities, inde­pendent
organizations, R. O. T. C. units,
classes, and major divisions of the college.
Prof. Ernest Smith and Miss Fannie
Stollenwerck will be in charge of the en­tire
program which will include competi­tion
in softball, touch football, basketball,
swimming, tennis, golf, speedball, bad­minton,
and other sports. This is a wel­come
innovation at Auburn and its suc­cess
will depend on the cooperation of the
students.
PLAINSMAN FORUM - - VOICE OF THE STUDENTS
Action To Change New Cut Rules Senior Favors New Lay-Out
Is Urged By Student
Editor,
The Auburn Plainsman
Dear Sir:
Near the end of last semester when some­one
announced the fact that we students
were to have no more cuts, I wasn't greatly
impressed with the information. It's the first
thing every professor talks about. I am re­minded
on every hand that if I cut one or
two classes, as the case may be, I may have
an extra hour in the place of an extra wor­ry-
This is a perplexing situation. Not that any
student can't find something to do in that
hour of freedom, but the problem is this:
Suppose the school grants us too many hours
in which to loaf? It would be a pretty ex­pensive
vacation.
Is the school trying to get rid of us, or is
it trying to lower its own standard by tak­ing
off final grades when students are un­avoidable
detained from class?
I have a proposition to make. I don't want
a vacation now. Neither do I want to prove
to my family that I am a numbskull by
bringing in a 50 average set of grades. But
what are we-students going to do when our
old-maid aunt drops in to town for an hour
or so, maybe once a semester. Why can't we
compromise?
I believe that most students are enough
interested in campus affairs to want "to co­operate
in a good scheme. Why not give us -a
10 per cent cutting freedom—a 10 per cent
reduction from last year—with the liberty to
keep the final grades that we really show
ability or disability to make?
If the professors don't believe that this
is a good plan, suppose we take a student
vote on it. After all, aren't we students
allowed to stick our finger in the pie of cam­pus
government? We are supposed to be a-dults,
to be fairly intelligent, and to be some­what
able to take care of ourselves by the
time we come to college.
We don't want to be' bound to a regula­tion
which i.= unreasonable. Such are the
methods of dealing with small children.
Take a vote, talk to the board of campus
government (whoever they are), do any­thing
sensible—but don't allow this foolish
condition to exist.
Sincerely yours,
"A Student.
And Heads Of Plainsman
Editor,
The Auburn Plainsman:
Dear Sir: "
May I congratulate you upon the improved
appearance of the Plainsman? I am indeed
glad to see you break away from the same
old sterotyped way of setting up a news­paper
and giving us something which shows
individual thought in planning.
Because I am interested in newspaper
mechanics I have followed during the past
year changes for the better, such as you
have instituted. To my mind the field was
wide open for these changes, but habit in
the newspaper business undoubtedly has
been a deeply entrenched thing. I am glad
to see you put aside habit in favor of im­provement.
I was interested in learning from a mem­ber
of your staff that several large news­papers
throughout the country have adopted
the method of news presentation which you
are now using. It appears to me that these
papers are being farsighted and trying to
stem the tide of competition given them by
other mediums of news broadcasting. You
,will agree with me that newspapers have
much more competition in this day and time
than they had before the development of
the radio, moving pictures and automobiles.
To attract and to hold the interest of read­ers,
it appears that newspapers will have
to abandon the old and outmoded forms of
news presentation. They'll have to make it
as painless as possible for the reader to get
the facts he wants—they'll certainly have to
eliminate the three, four and five deck
headlines which I've always found so dif­ficult
to wade through.
Although many of your readers will pro­bably
dislike your new makeup at the out­set,
as soon as they shake off their old
"newspaper habits" they'll also commend
your new style.
Again, let me congratulate you upon your
new headline type and the manner in which
your heads are written. I wish you a most
successful year.
Yours very truly,
College Senior.
Talk About The Town Cats and Canaries

The Plainsman, in all its streamlined glory,
has made its- first appearence and that means
just one less column we shall inflict upon an
unsuspecting public. Funny thing this public
—Mention their names for some major or
minor reason and they bristle with indigna­tion—
but fail to and they proceed to call down
upon our already beaten brow the wrath of
all the Gods. We can't ever be right and so
from here on we don't intend to argue about
it. If you don't like it write the editors—
they feel much more important when they
get a lot of mail. Whether they read it or not
is your worry not ours—we only work he: e.
We notice with considerable approbation
that our scandal monging'duo of last year is
doing business at the old stand. Careful people
—the'Dirty Duo will get you if you be not

Well, registration is a thing of the past and
the semi-annual slugfest is forgotten for the
time being. But comes thoughts of work and
mental gymnastics for means by which to
get out of it. And'are they really serious about
the new cut rule? Woefully we are afraid
its true. Gone forever are the days of sleeping
thru eight and niners. And sleeping in class
brings naught but stiff necks—and a funny
feeling during finals.

News and Views
By John Godbold
The Democratic Party is resting more easily
since John L. Lewis's announcement that he
may quit the Democrats in favor of a third
party. Coupled with the desertion threat was
his bitter radio attack on the President, Sept.
3. Although Roosevelt's name was not men­tioned
there was little doubt as to the mean­ing
of Lewis's remarks.
Doubtless the Democrats will be in a bet­ter
position when they are rid of the power­ful
influence of Lewis and C. I. O. In the last
year it has become clear that the labor lead­er
believes that the half million dollars con­tributed
which his United Mine Workers made
to the Roosevelt campaign gave him the right
to steer the Democrats into whatever chan­nels
he desires.
At present no one seems to be in a scramble
to persuade Lewis to remain in the Democratic
camp. Perhaps the C. I. O. leader is trying
an enormous bluff in an attempt to lead ad­ministration
forces to repair the breach. How­ever,
that seems to be a doubtful supposition.
Probably the only good that can come from
the entire entanglement is the possibility that
the Democrats have learned their lesson and
will never again permit so powerful a figure
to buy his way into power by means of cam­paign
contributions.
Today at Nyon, Switzerland a conference
is being held which may do much or may do
nothing toward disentangling the compli­cated
problem of piracy in the Mediterranean.
However, every representative in attendance
will have to tread carefully to avoid stepping
on sensitive international toes.
Russia has officially accused Italy of re­sponsibility
for the loss of two Soviet ves­sels.
Mussolini may not even have represen­tatives
at the conference for fear that it may
become somewhat of a court of justice, with
Italy the loser no matter what develops. These
days the tendency is to hold Italy responsible
for unsolvable events when a scapegoat must
bbe found. Often the accusations are some­what
unfair, but on the basis of past actions
and circumstancial evidence it would seem
that Rome might be headquarters for the
vanishing Mediterranean killers.
Meanwhile, every observer is at a loss to
understand the motives behind the deliberate
sinking of non-belligerent vessels by mys­terious
submarines and warships. How such
tactics would benefit any nation is incompre­hensible
unless some martial-spirited govern­ment
is having the piracy carred on under
such conditions that the blame and resulting
complications will be laid at the doorsteps of
some rival country. And after all, that is a
rather far-fetched assumption.
A few days ago civilian and army fliers
carried on a test at Oakland, California, which
authorities have called the most dramatic of
its kind since the Wright brothers first flew.
Authorities often have a habit of stretching
"the importance of findings in their respective
fields, but in this case there was no doubt of
the importance of the discoveries. Flying a
huge transport plane which they could not
even peek out of, pilots made one hundred
perfect "blind"" landings by use of a radio
beam system. The beam makes it possible to
safely land a ship in snow, rain, fog or dust.
Representatives from all branches of avi­ation—
commercial, military, and private—
agreed that the system should be adopted for
the country as a whole. If the system were
installed on a national scale, perhaps it might
not be so successful as the experts say, but
at least it might reduce the over-large numb­er
of aviation deaths.
President Roosevelt's announcement of the
resignation of Edward F. McGrady, his chief
trouble-shooter in industrial-labor disputes,
further complicates the situation centering a-round
the threatened railroad strike. Sup­posedly
McGrady resigned to enter business,
but there is much evidence to support ru­mors
that his resignation was asked for.
Since last week when railroad representa­tives
flatly refused to grant the twenty per
cent pay increase demanded by the "big five"
railroad brotherhoods, it has .seemed that
government mediation is the sole chance of
preventing a strike. Federal mediation would
automatically postpone the calling of the
strike for thirty days. Railroad representa­tives
say that the companies cannot carry the
116 million dollars added expense ,which the
pay hike would bring about. Union leaders
say that their only resources will be to call
a strike of the 350,000 employees which they
represent. •
Without the services of competent chief
mediator McGrady, government peace-mak­ers
may be considered handicapped in their
activities.

Chewacla Is
Show Place
Of This Area
During the months of July and
August a total of 22,887 people vis­ited
Chewacla State Park, located
four miles South of Auburn on the
old site of Wright's Mill, to enjoy
the park's facilities for swimming,
boating, picnking, and hiking,
said William J. Ryan, Jr., project
superintendent.
This figure is not an estimate
but is the actual number by count
of those entering the park, said
Mr. Ryan. Over 10,000 people
went swimming at the sand beach
of the park's newly developed lake,
which covers 27 acres. As many
as 450 swimmers were counted at
one time. The total number of
people having picnics at the park
and taking hiking tours exceeded
2,000, he said.
During the past year and a half
the park has been developed by
enrollees in CCC Camp No. 448
under the direction of the National
Park Service and the Alabama
Bureau of Parks, of which Col.
Page S. Bunker, of Montgomery,
is director.
Safety for swimmers is main­tained
by the constant attendance
of lifeguards and the especially
constructed guard cables which
inclose the swimming area.

Delivery Schedule
The collection schedule for the
Ideal Laundry this year is as fol­lows:
those rooming in private
homes should have their laundry
made up and out where the dri­ver
can see it by 7:30 A. M. on
Monday. Those rooming in Alum­ni
Hall, Wittel Hall, and Garden
Court should have theirs made
up at 7:30 A. M. on Tuesday.
Those rooming in fraternity houses
should have theirs made up and
out at 7:30 A. M. Wednesday.
Failure to have the laundry
out at the proper time will mean
that the student will have to car­ry
his laundry to the plant. Laun­dry
brought to he plant after noon
Wednesday will not be delivered
till the following Wednesday and
will result in the loss of -one
weeks' laundry; however, this does
not apply to the uniform agree­ment
with the military office.
For further information regard­ing
the laundry, the student should
consult the slip sent out with his
laundry bag by the plant.

Cavaliers Finish
Summer Tour
The Auburn Cavaliers have re­turned
to town after a summer
full of engagements along the Gulf
coast and at Houston, Texas. They
began the summer at the Tower
Beach Casino at Fort Walton, Fla.,
staying there for a eight week's
engagement.
Leaving Fort Walton, they play­ed
at the San Carlos Hotel in
Pensacola, broadcasting daily
from the patio over the radio
station WCOA. While there they
played a special program for this
station on an experimental dis­tance
test and received acknowl-edgemerits
from Germany and
Hevr Zealand.
The band next moved out to
Houston, Texas, replacing Mae
Clark at the Aragon ballroom, one
of the largest and most exclusive
dance places of its nature in the
South. The popularity of the band
in this section was evidenced by
the fact that over 5,000 people
attended the ball room during
the second week of their engage­ment.
They have been booked for
a three months engagement there
next summer, starting immediately
at the close of school.
The entire organization is now
composed of thirteen men, features
two. vocalist, a violin trio, and a
vocal trio. Their library has been
augmented with the latest new
tunes and many special arrange­ments,
both in original style and
in that of Tommy Dorsey, Jimmie
Lunceford, Ray Noble, and Wayne
King.
Sporfs Chatter
By Bill Troup
With Alabama, Louisiana State,
Mississippi State and Tennessee in
the first flight; Auburn, Georgia,
Georgia Tech, Vanderbilt in the
second; Kentucky, Mississippi, Tu-lane
in the third; and Florida and
Sewanee in the fourth, most sport
writers are speculating over the
probable winner of the Southeas­tern
Conference, grid crown this
fall. But this does not mean that
the teams of the second, third and
fourth flights will not be strong.
The following is a brief review
of the thirteen teams in the South­eastern
Conference:
Alabama—The Crimson Tide is
on the rampage, menancing all
Dixie, Alabama may again hit the
highwater mark it set in the Rose
Bowl.
Auburn—Don't tease the Tigers.
They are light but fast. Given a
piledriving fullback, they may
hurdle a breakneck schedule.
Florida—Definitely improved.
But the 'Gators lack a passer and
have only a fair offence. They
may surprise some of their op­ponents.
Georgia—Last year the Bull­dogs
were poor openers, good fin-islic:?.
This year, with soveral play
improvements and a sturdy rein­forcement,
Georgia may make the
first bracket. , '
Georgia Tech—Doubtful. But
that battering backfield is a whiz
and (he ends can fly. If the sopho­more
tackles come through the
Engineers may spring some sur­prises.
Kentucky—Last year'^ disap­pointments
may be this year's de­light.
Much depends on the tack-le-
to-ta.k!e wall and the punting.
The backs are good.
L. S. U.—Eaton Rouge, while ad­mitting
heavy loses, proudly points
to the remaining stars. The Tig­ers
have a chance to repeat their
'36 sweep. They may grab the
conference* pennant and even land
in the Bowl.
Ole Miss—Better. Single wing
will provide more open play, right
up the alley of those versatile new
backs. The ground offense will be
varied, and a dazzling aerial at­tack
will be featured.
Miss. State—Will be even scrap­pier
than in '36 when only Ala­bama
and L. S. U. set them back.
The line has more weight and
power, the running attack will be
harder to stop. Big season ahead!
Sewanee—A little more ma­terial
this year—two dozen men—
and little Sewanee may come out
of combat with the giants show­ing
something more than honor­able
scars. There was- never a
gamer team.
Tennessee—The Vols are tough­er
bbut likewise the schedule. The
sophs of '36 plus the sophs of
'37 are young and erratic. Kicking
should improve. They may go hay­wire
or they may go to town.
Tigers Prepare
(Continued From range One)
season ago, are filling in the gap
left by the graduation of Sam Mc-
Crosky and Frank Gantt.
There is also considerable argu­ment
over the quarterback berth.
Osmo Smith, who shared the
duties last year with Sid Scar­borough
after Joe Stewart was
lost, is being given the fight of his
life by Marion Walker. Coach Mea­gher
and his staff were well pleas­ed
with Walker's work in spring
practice and it may be that he
will receive the call over Smith.
Germany shipped more than $3,-
400,000 worth of artificial flowers
to other countries in the last year.
