Plans For Finals
Are Now Complete
Plans for the final dances are
now complete. All dances are be­ing
sponsored by some campus or­ganization
except the Friday morn­ing
dance, but it is expected that
Scabbard and Blade, honorary
military society will buy the dance.
Arrangements have been made
whereby there will be four house
parties given during the final set.
Phi Delta Theta, Kappa Alpha,
Sigma Chi, and Pi Kappa Alpha
fraternities will be the hosts to the
visiting girls. In order to asure
a place for all the visitors, the
Social Committee will help to
place the girls.
Keys, inter-fraternity social or­ganization,
will be the host Fri­day
afternoon. Saturday morning
will find the Senior Stinkers as
sponsors. This organization is a
recently organized group which
has as the prime purpose the buy­ing
of a final dance and the throw­ing
of a beer party. The after­noon
dance Saturday will be held
with Blue Key as sponsors.
Since a record number of ac­ceptance
cards have been received
from out-of-town girls, a record
attendance is predicted.

convention in Mobile.
Mrs. Herman D. Jones, literary

song contest sponsored this
year, because suitable poems were
not submitted.
The "Deacon"
Blows It Out Friday
Finals To Feature
'Two-Bit' Balcony
A "quarter" balcony for the
Friday afternoon dance has been
arranged by the social committee.
Early plans to have Deacon Moore
play a pre-dance concert, as Will
Osborne did at the mid'-terms,
failed to materialize, and a spe­cial
balcony price of 25 cents is
being offered in lieu of it, it
was announced yesterday by so­cial
committee members.
For all dances other than the
Friday afternoon affair the price
for balcony seats will be 75 cents.
A large section of the hall is to
be roped off to accomodate the
expected crowd.
Chairman Ed Duncan says that
the local high-school students will
be guests of the social committee
Saturday morning. They are to be
admitted to the balcony free of
charge, and will be allowed to
dance part of the time.
The orchestra is to play at the
East End of the hall, the balcony
space used for the mid-terms be^
ing taken up by the orchestra
stand. The balcony is to be the
section between the posts and the
wall on the north side of the hall.
Reporter Gives Preview Of Glomerata
As Students Stage Mad Rush For Book
By Joan Metzgrer Barkalow
If you were asked, "What is
the most popular book in Au­burn?"
you might answer "Gone
With the Wind," the "Rat Bible,"
or "How to Influence Professors
and Raise Grades" (fiction), but
surely you know the one book
that is treasured most by all Au-burnites
is, of course—The Glom­erata!
Today you'll push along in lines
equal to registration to get the
new annual. However, Morris
Hall and Jarvis Brown are giving
us a preview peek, so pull up a
chair and we'll explore these three
hundred pages. Careful with this
handsome gold and blue embos­sed
cover. I promised not to re­veal
the dedication, we'll start
with the large opening pictures
of the Ross Chemical Building,
Smith Hall, and the President's
Home, and the dedication. These
new pages are hard to turn—now
we have the memorian page to
Lyda M. Shaw and W. D. Rodgers.
Following this are the pictures
of the trustees. And isn't this a
spontaneous picture of Gov. Bibb
Graves and Mrs. Dixie Graves?,
It was taken in Washington when-she
served as State Senator. Mor­ris
Hall bought it from World Wide
Pictures, Inc. Next follows Presi­dent
Duncan and administration
officers—isn't that a lovable pic­ture
of the Dean of Women?
The student section starts with
the R. O. T. C. officer units of
engineers and field artillery, pre­ceded
by a group picture of the
army officers who are instructors.
How many of the boys can you re­cognize
behind those serious ex­pressions?
This group picture is
of Scabbard and Blade.
These twelve pages of snap­shots
are the clever work of the
Glomerata candid cameraman,
who is responsible for the variety
of classroom, campus, and perso­nality
shots. Oh, there's "Pete"
Wright being measured b> the
naughty Scabbard and Blade
"Chinks" last fall. And there is an
action picture of the Auburn play­ers
making up for "Oliver, Oli­ver."
This special Junior Prom
group is one of the outstanding
features. Won't it recall memories
for dance fans?
Now we find the Executive Cab­inet
and the Women's Student
Government. Don't you like the in­formal
pose for the women stu­dent
officers?
Well, well, a Plainsman page.
What a solemn looking staff. Did
you ever see Buntin or Workman
act as purposeful as they look
here? Of course these pages of
the Glomerata are interesting. We
all like to see who's responsible
for one of the best annuals in
many years.
Ah, the classes. Hold one, we'll
get to your picture in regular se­quence.
Do you like this horizon­tal
treatment of the senior pic­tures?
Each class is arranged dif­ferently.
The juniors have a ver­tical
panel treatment and the
sophs and freshmen a central ar­rangement.
The border treatment
is effective, isnlt it, with the
plain gold bars and Tiger em­blem.
Oh, you've found yourself—
aren't you cute—don't blame Don
Johnson—you really look like
that. So that's your true love?
Sorry to break up your admiration
fest, but let's get into the ath­letic
features. These are certainly
swell shots of coaches, teams,
cheer leaders, and scenes from
games. They cover all the sports,
too. There's an intramural page,
and for the first time the Women's
Athletics have a page.

Spring Festival
Is Friday Event
By J. H. WHEELER
The Spring Festival Friday night
will be the most elaborate drama­tic
production of the year, with
over 100 co-eds in the cast, and
the full lighting, make-up and
scenic resources of the Auburn
Players being called into action.
The program will start at 8 o'­clock.
The story of the Festival this
year was adapted by Prof. Telfair
Peet from the "Thousand and
One Nights," more popularly
known as the "Arabian Nights."
The plot is concerned with four
dramatized episodes related to the
Sultan Shahriyar by his newly-wedded
wife Scheherazade, whom
he has sworn to behead at dawn,
but who postpones her fate each
night by relating another tale.
Two stories, "The Golden Cock-rell"
and "The Three Princes"
will be told in dance pantomine
by co-eds under the direction of

THE REAL DOPE ABOUT THE FINALS
I S EXPLAINED HEREWITH
According to r e p o r t s on t h e merits of the
Final Dance decorations and the quality of
music which can be expected of Carl "Dea­con"
Moore, our's will be a set of dances
well w o r t h attending. To say t h e v e r y least
t h e set-up will be novel, e n t i r e l y different
from anything that we have ever had
h e r e before.
To be explicit from the first, may it be
understood that this is not solicited pub­licity.
The Finals are known as t h e Senior
Ball, an affair wihch was initiated to give
a fitting end to the social activities while
in college for those who are numbered a-mong
the g r a d u a t i n g class. More t h a n that,
they have been so arranged that not only
the seniors may have access to the activi­ties
but all other students may take part
and enjoy t h em too, as they wish.
Now, the Chairman of the Social Com­mittee
is especially appointed to a t t e n d to
the arranging of this occasion, along with
the Sophomore Hop and the Junior Prom
which have been held earlier in the year.
It is his well defined business-to see that
t h e best of entertainment be provided for
these t h r e e major social events.
A large number of students will have
their "favorite girl" down for the dances.
It is a pleasure now that the antiquated
set of rules which formerly governed their
visits have been set aside and a newer and
much more lenient set have been put into
effect. No longer will t h e student have to
suffer the embarrassment of coping with
the difficulties which n a t u r a l l y arose out
of t h e old set of rules.
Although formal invitations a r e still sent
out to girls prospective of coming up by
those who desire to do so, but it is no
longer necessary to go through this wind of
"red tape." If you did not send your girl
a bid due to some reason, it is still not
too late to invite her up. Your asking her
would attend to t h e m a t t e r nicely.
All in all, t h e Finals have been designat­ed'
and will be for the Auburn students.
They will be well worth attending, for
every detail will be attended to to make
t h em enjoyable as far as possible for each
person attending them. So if you are the
least bit socially inclined, accept the sug­gestion
that you begin planning to attend
the Senior Ball on Friday and Saturday,
May 6 a n d 7.

THE SPRING FESTIVAL DESERVES
SOME STUDENT ATTENTION
F r i d a y n i g h t at t h e a m p h i t h e a t r e Auburn
Students will have t h e opportunity of wit­nessing
the most elaborate and colorful
production ever a t t e m p t e d on this campus.
Coming as it does in the midst of Final
Dance frivolity it may escape t h e notice of
many students. It is a production worthy
of t h e support and encouragement of every
student.
Having a cast of almost two hundred,
co-eds and a large production staff of men
students, t h e Festival assumes a size that
demands notice. The play was w r i t t e n and
directed by Prof. Telfair Peet. The dances
were originated and directed by Miss
Louise Kreher. The costumes were design­ed
and made by students. The set was de­signed
and built by students. The whole
production was originated locally.
It is only fitting that local people should
encourage local taint an ideas by attend­ing
the Spring Festival and giving it their
i n t e r e s t e d attention. But then, don't miss
i t anyway. It is something well w o r t h see­ing.
MOTHER'S AND FATHER'S DAY IS
A WORTHWHILE PROJECT
Sunday as Mother's and Father's Day
proved to be a success when several hun­dred
parents accepted the Interfraternity
Council's invitation to visit Auburn.
We were glad to see the day finally get
to the stage of. being called a success. For
several years there have been plans laid
for such a day but there has never been
much response. This year under the direc­tion
of the I n t e r f r a t e r n i t y Council the day
n e t with an encouraging amount of re­sponse
on t h e p a r t of the parents. It seems
that we are getting somewhere with a
worthwhile project.
However, there are points to which at­tention
should be called in an effort to im­prove
the day. This year a quite elaborate
p r o g r am was planned and expected to be
achieved. But, day by day, it fell apart for

Dear Sir:
When a man is a fool, there is nothing
to do but to forgive—but he does sometimes
take 'on disguises—as our "News and Views"
reporter.
What man is there today that can ridicule
a protest against war? Agan, only a fool or a
viper can do that. One thing is certain and
that is that Godbold does not know one damn
thing about the American Student's Union.
Not only do Norman Thomas and Hamilton
Fish advocate such procedure as "striking
for peace" but President Roosevelt himself is
for it heart and soul. Does Godbold actually
believe that students on strike even think of
escaping the classroom when such an issue
is at stake?
It he does, then I pity him—and the only
way I can set him straight is to refer him to
the literature given to students by the A. S.
U. And if he still isn't satisfied—let him get
a veteran to tell him of his experiences or get
hold of some medical case-book of the World
War and look at the photographs of the un­fortunates.
Let him look through the whole
book and if he doesn't womit or have night­mares—
then he ought to get a gun and shoot
off his big toe to really get the feeling. After
that, if there is no change then I pity him
more.
Maybe if we had protests prior to the Great
War—by the youth who never came back—
there'd be no "peg-leg-petes" no "armless
wonders," no Gold Star mothers, and no
nightmares. If there is any strike to be com­mended,
it's a peace strike. How do I know?
My pop came back!
To Godbold: I'm sorry to be so caustic be­cause
I still /can't believe you realize what you
wrote. I still love everybody—you, too.

Editor
The Plainsman
Dear Sir:
Steppe rode me somewhat in his last article,
and criticized me for having a feeble mind. I
can't help it if my mind is feeble, if it is,
I'm not a particular authority on feeble minds
as Steppe "seems to be; his knowledge prob­ably
comes from intimate association with
one. One virtue I am sure he lacks that his
co-columnist has learned is toleration, and in
my estimation he would do well to criticize
less and try to learn a little more by listening
to his betters.
And now a note to "Another Person." You
sound like a worthy associate, and not at all
lacking in the "Ego" you designated as an
outstanding characteristic of my make-up.
Your challenge to a battle of wits does not
strike just right, however. I'm not fighting
anything or standing for anything. I'm trying
to learn and one of the best ways to learn, in
my estimation, is through mutual association
of opinions and judgements. It isn't my de­sire
to win an argument. I try to always keep
in mind that fact, and the fact that my as­sociate
advances the best judgement doesn't
pain me, or at least I try not to allow it to.
The battle is between mind and the dynamic
incorporeal relative, and not between men; if
we fight among ourselves what can ever be
accomplished? A person is mental, the ideal
perhaps, to the extent that he is master of his
emotions.
If there is anything that I dislike or oppose
it might be termed prejudice. Someone said
"Morals are the sum total of a communities
prejudices." And that brings me to another
topic.
You criticize me for over-quoting and per­haps
for over-reading and attempting to digest
the knowledge which they have gained who
have gone before, and hypothecate therefrom
that my entire mind is filled with second­hand
judgements; I hope that's not true.
If you must have the element of competition
in our discussion let it be to see who can ad­vance
the best arguments on any one of the
following topics, neither to be bound to the
side that he chooses or writes on at any one
time; Modern Sex Relations Among College
Students, The Difference Between A Straight
And A Curved Line, The Reason For Or For
Not Attending Church. Guess that's enough
to start.
"One Person."
Talk About The Town
BY JACK STEPPE — R. L. MUNDHENK
Aside . . . . to "One Person" this argument
we have been running thru this page is, I
ami afraid, getting just a wee bit boresome to
what few readers we have and being con-siderate
souls we are refraining from any
more comment upon your intellect, or lack of
it. Every man is entitled to his views and
opinions. We don't agree with yours but that
is our privilege and our right. At times you
have shown' flashes of interlect, even though
it may be misguided. Will you not make some
use of it for a change and stop this assinine
banter and let your public rest? If you wish
to continue the argument in private we are
perfectly agreeable. Anyway, what in the hell
have we been arguing about?
Jumped on . . . being us, by Duncan, for
our quip about his "Deacon". We don't pre­tend
to be music critics since we don't know
a clef from a half note, but our ears are
pretty good and what his music did to them
is a crime. Still expressing what is merely
our opinion we believe that since the dances
are informal, why not make it a barn dance?
The setting should be appropriate. We aren't
trying ot spoil Duncans' affair but we still be­lieve
that for the money a much better out­fit
could have been had. We are probably a
distinct minority and since we are invariably
wrong about everything the dances will un­doubtedly
be a rousing success. Swing your
partner! ! ! !
Time . . . as "Snuffy" would say is surely
awasting. Exams are drawing nigh, the bull
sessions are getting shorter and less frequent
and everybody is at least pretending to be a
student for change. Ain't it awful!
Unbelievable . . . but true is the statement
that the Glomerata has come out on time. A
first rate defiance of custom. We haven't seen
one yet but we have been given to understand
that it is one of the best issues that has been
put out. Coming from the Plainsman it is un­usual
but we feel compelled to bow low to
Hall and Brown for a job well done.
News And Views
BY JOHN GODBOLD
THE NEXT GOVERNOR OF ALABAMA
may possibly have been elected by the time
you are reading this, but it is doubtful, for
it looks as if there will have to be a run-off
between Dixon and someone else. With Tues­day,
May 3, being election day, the four ma­jor
candidates brought their campaigns to
whirlwind finishes Monday night. All kinds
of predictions have been made of the num­ber
of votes whch each man will get. Of
course, all that will have been decided and
publicly known when this appears in print
but nevertheless, we'd like to make a few
predictions. We step out on a long, long limb,
saw it off behind us and say: Dixon will get
38 percent of the votes cast; Goode, 26 per­cent,
Sparks, 23 percent; Riddle, 13 percent;
Arnold 1 percent.
THE HOME OF THIRD PARTIES, the Mid­dle
West, has given birth to another one, the
National Progressive party. The party, fath­ered
by Gov. Phillip LaFollette of Wiscon­sin,
is a liberal group, combining several left-wing
units of the Mid West. Largest of the
groups absorbed in the Farmer-Labor party
which has its stronghold in Wisconsin.
News paper editors and commentators over
the country are already using the new party
as a butt for jokes. However, we are not so
disposed. Possibly our prophetic abilities are
not very good, but we believe that the Nat­ional
Progressive party is a faction which is
going to make itself heard in politics in the
next few years.
Party ties are not easily broken. However,
in these days of "recession" at home and
war abroad, many citizens are inclined to
search for greener pastures, when it comes
to political parties, as a hope of relief from our
present difficulties. The farmers of the Mid
West have particular reasons to be dissatis­fied.
The AAA which might have saved them
was killed. Other measures of government
farm relief have not been eminently success­ful.
Many of the dissatisfied are going to
join hands with the new party, looking to it
as a possible Savior.
We do not say that the National Progres­sive
party will become a serious threat to the
two major parties. Yet we do believe its scope
will exceed that predicted for it by many.
This is no mere spark on the horizon—it may
be a prairie fire such as the Populist party
of the 1890's.
A NUDIST OWL is the property of employ­ees
of the Salt Lake City electric power plant.
The bird flew into the main works of the
power plant, brushed against a vital con­nection,

it came out of the encounter alive but bare—
every one of its feathers were singed off.
THE PROPOSED ALABAMA-AUBURN
GAME is getting a lot of attention these days.
After all, is it so mportant that Auburn and
the University play one another in football?
Granted, it would, be a colorful game which
thousands of people would flock to see; it
would provide students of both institutions
with unforgettable thrills and chances for tha
winners to strut their ego, but so what? Foot­ball
is no more than an over-emphasized sport
which the fans including us, worship every
year from September to January 2. Twenty
years from now is it going to make a great
deal of difference whether Alabama and Au­burn
engaged each other in an intercollegiate
athletic contest—which is just what football is
—something that all of us forget once and a
while.
Viewed sensibly and objectively, the differ­ences
between the two state universities of
Alabama seem rather foolish. If an annual
football game between the two institutions
would serve as a means of improving relat­ions,
it would be more than justified. But we
fear that it would not. The winners would
gloat and the losers would be hurt. Feeling
would run high at the game itself, and some­one
might be hurt. In the end matters might
become even worse than at present.
If Alabama and Auburn just must engage
in some kind of contest, why not a friendly
little game of seeing which institution could
turn out the best-educated man and woman,
the most intelligent voters, the best future
citizens of State and Nation. Twenty years
from now that would make a difference.

In 1891 this writing desk type telephone was
installed in a Long Island general store. It was
a good telephone, but it could be connected
with only a part of the Bell System's 250,000
telephones in the country at that time. Service
was slow and expensive.
Year by year this strange looking telephone,
with a more modern transmitter and receiver
substituted from time to time, grew in useful­ness
as the Bell System grew longer in reach—

Co-Eds Don't Have A Chance When They
Try To Compete With Chorus Girls
Hollywood compeition is proving
expensive for co-eds in and around
Los Angeles—or at least it's prov­ing
expensive for their parents.
The trouble is dates with boys.
There are about 1500 glamorous
and beautiful chorus girls and hun­dreds
of minor actresses equally
glamorous and beautiful in Holly­wood
and it seems that the college
boys have ways and means of get­ting
acquainted with them.
These girls have been trained
in the studios in all the arts and
wiles of makeup, coiffure, and
dress to enhance their beauty and
their glamor. They are masters of
the art and they have to compete
with each other for work within
te industry.
So the co-eds are finding stiff
"date" competition. One survey of
American colleges recently claim­ed
that the University of Califor­nia
at Los Angeles, located on the
edge of Hollywood, is one of the
most expensive in the country for
girls.
"The average co-ed at any col­lege
in the country is dressed in
more expensive clothes than the
Hollywood chorus girl buys," de­clared
Pninz. "A chorus girl can
wear a relatively cheap dress and
still be so vibrant and glamorous
that the dress looks expensive.
The co-ed must learn two things:
"First, she must not'be clothed
from the standpoint of price but
from the standpoint of how her
clothes set off her personality. And
she must learn to wear those
clothes so that people notice her
and not the clothes.
"Second, the co-ed must learn
how to dress her hair and make-up
her face to offset and defects, and
to enhance its assets. An eyebrow
with a slightly wrong contour may
throw the eyes out of line or
make them seem too close together
or too wide apart; a wrong con­tour
with lipstick may result in a
pouting expression; a wrong hair­line
may give the face a vapid
expression.
"When I was selecting girls re­cently
for "College Swing', at
Paramount I sent out a call for
new dancers as most of those on
my list were already working in
pictures.
"The most common reason for
rejecting new girls lay in faulty
makeup habits, faulty hairlines
and eyebrow lines which could not
be corrected except with instruc­tion
which we did not have time
to give.
"I would suggest that the girls
get some expert advice on make­up.
You may thiak I am over-exaggerating
this but I notice that
has installed courses in the proper
use of cosmetics.
"If you want to see how im­portant
this is, place an average
co-ed from one of the Los Ange­les
universities side by side with
an average dancer from one of
the studios. It's no wonder they're

Wilmore Attends
Purdue Gala Week
Dr. John J. Wilmore, dean of
the School of Engineering, has
returned from Purdue University,
Lafayette, Ind., where he attended
the "Gala Week" of his alma
mater. He was accompanied by
Prof. C. R. Hixon, also of the En­gineering
School.
The Gala Week is held each
year to honor old Alumni and to
hold "open house" for them. Six
classes of Alumni are honored each
year and this year the classes were
those of 1888, 1893, 1898, 1903,
4908, and 1913.
The Alumni of 1888 in which
class Dean Wilmore graduated,
numbered 24 and out of this num­ber
9 attended the celebration. Of
this graduation class of 24, 19 are
still living, Dean Wilmore said.
Breakfasts were held for each
class, and meetings of the Alum­ni
were held. A banquet was held
for the Alumni with nine hund­red
being served. The graduates
of 1888 were presented with small
diplomas commenorating the

'Merrily We Live'
Rivals 'Topper'
Constance Bennett, the blond
charmer of "Topper," and Brian
Aherne, last seen on the screen as
"The Great Garick," are co-star­red
for the first time in "Merrily
We Live," opening Wednesday at
the Tiger Theatre.
Billie Burke has the role of
Mrs. Kilbourne,' a philanthropist,
whose speciality is the reformation
of hoboes who call at her door.
Alan Mowbray, of Topper fame, a-gain
is cast as a butler, but in the
current production his role gives
him more scape for comedy than
the previous one.
Patsy Kelly, one of the screen's
foremost comedians, romps thru
the role of a cook in the Kil­bourne
establishment. Her life is
made hectic through the enthu­siasms
of Mrs. Kilbourne for her
newly-discovered tramps and thru
the butler's disgust at these hu­manitarian
endeavors.
In the role of a Senator's dau­ghter
whose predatory eye settles
on Miss Bennett's romantic inter­est
in the film is Ann Dvorak.
Bcnita Granville, not quite grown
up, but wearing her first floor
length dinner gown in the picture,
plays the "kid sister" in the Kil­bourne
family. She augments her
allowance by threats of blackmail
and sells petty secrets between
members of the family for fancy
prices.
Tom Brown is the "kid brother,"
whose growing up passes unnotic­ed
by other members of the family.
He is by turns wheedling and re­bellious,
but nothing he does or
says upsets the family's mad pace
or distracts them from their in­dividually
amusing interests.
Majorie Rambeau, for more
than a decade a favorite on the
New York stage and now widely
sought by Hollywood studios for
supporting roles, plays the role
of the Senator's wife.
Another popular film player
lending his talents to "Merrily We
Live" is Phillip Reed, who plays
the role of Miss Bennett's discard­ed
suitor, and acts as a foil for
the pronks of Ahem and Mow­bray.
The director of this stellar ag­gregation
is Norman Z. MvLeod,
famed for his deft handling of
comedy and aclaimed for the suc­cess
of his preceding production,

The Sigma Phi Epsilon Fra­ternity
entertained with their an­nual
Spring Dance on Friday night
April 29 from 9:00 'till 1:30 in the

The hall was decorated in a
modernistic theme with the fra­ternity
colors, red and purple, pre­dominating.
The backdrop was
composed of three large panels
in front of which was a large lat­tice
heart. Forty lighted roses
were entwined around the pin-shaped
heart which was filled
with a sparkling celophane drop.
Purple cylinders with celophane
tassels hung from the twenty lights
in the hall. A lighted pin was
opposite the back drop. The decor­ations
were designed by and exe­cution
directed by Dan Martin, Jr.
Percy Owens, Bill Smith, Joe
Dean, Lem Edmondson, Homer
Tankersly, Dick Watkins also help­ed
with the decorations.
After the dance the members
and pledges were served a buffet
supper by Mrs. Cox and Mrs.
Harralson, the housemothers. The
girls were then presented with the
favors, walnut jewel cases mount­ed
with the fraternity crest.
Saturdy afternoon a weiner roast
was given at the Delta Sigma Pi
lodge. A radio dance was held at
the chapter house Saturday night.
