Ten prominent students in the
Schools of Chemistry and Chemi­cal
Engineering were recently ac­corded
the highest honor attain­able
in chemistry by being elected
to membership in Phi Lambda Up­silon,

Fields Explains
'Rippling Rhythm'
Technique That Made Band
Famous Is Described
With only two weeks remain­ing
before the final dances Au
burn students are making plans
to greet Shep Fields and his "Rip­pling
Rhythm" orchestra.
The glass bowl into which Shep
Field blows the musical bubbles
that sets the theme for his or­chestra
is no ordinary decanter.
Young Fields, who music will be
heard in Auburn soon, reveals
that only one certain kind of ves­sel
will serve his purpose.
Must Be Just Right
"It has to be just right," de­clares
the orchestra leader, "or
the bubblies won't have the prop­er
tone, inasmuch as the gurgling
must be amplified. I experimented
with dozens of different contain­ers
from finger bowls to goldfish
bowls, but I didn't come across
exactly what I wanted until I
played at the Palmer House in
Chicago. I think they served fruit
salad in it. At any rate, I swiped
one a night for six nights. Now
I have only two left, because the
others broke—and are those two
precious to me! If I lose them, I'll
simply have to get booked back
into that Chicago hotel again."
Hal Derwin, featured vocalist
with Shep Fields' orchestra, pos­sesses
a type of voice that har­monizes
perfectly with the Rip­pling
Rhythm of the orchestra.
He began his musical career in
Chicago in vaudeville and radio
in what was then known as the
"Campus Trio." He later worked
with several bands, including that
of Louis Panico with whom he
scored an instant hit with the or­chestra
during their engagement
at Chicago's famous College Inn.
He later joined Shep Fields as

Rev. Noble C. Powell Named
To Episcopal Diocese
An Auburn graduate, the very
Rev. Noble Cilley Powell, D. D.,
Dean of Washington Cathedral and
warden of the College of Preach­ers,
Washington, D. C, has been
elected bishop of the Episcopal
Diocese of Louisiana.
The retirement of Bishop James
Craik Morris was brought about
by advancing age and bad health.
Bishop-elect Powell will succeed
to his place as soon as formal ac­ceptance
is made.
The dean was ill with influenza
in Washington when word of his
election reached there. The for­mal
reply of acceptance may be
some time in coming as the dean
must be notified formally and he
may take as much time as he
wishes to formulate his reply.
In the above picture are shown some of the new buildings now under construction:' (1) the
general classroom building; (2) infirmary and health center; (3) farm engineering building, (4) phy­sical
training building. The center view shows President L. N. Duncan pulling the rope that rings the
old bell in Samford tower.
Cotton Overalls and Gingham Dresses
To Be Worn to Cotton Ball Friday
Phi Psi, Textile Group,
Sponsors Social Event
At Graves Center
Plans have been completed for
the annual Phi Psi Cotton Ball,
to be given Friday night, April
21, at Graves Center. This dance,
given each spring and sponsored
by Lambda chapter of Phi Psi
is one of the outstanding social
events of the year. In an atmos­phere
lending itself to the theme
of the South's greatest product
and industry, students come at­tired
in overalls and gingham
dresses, and dance gaily, southern
style.
Phi Psi has this year gone to
great effort to make this the most
outstanding Cotton Ball ever to
be given. The boys are requested
to wear either overalls or cover­alls,
and not simply cotton pants
and shirts. The girls will come in
the latest 'gingham-dress' styles.
Following the discussion of
business and plans for the cotton
ball at the meeting Monday night,
eight outstanding students in Tex­tile
Engineering were given the
first part of their initiation into
Phi Psi. These men are: N. J.
Adams, J. D. Danner, J. R. Hat­field,
C. A. Haupt, T. J. Jackson,
L. M. Mayo, P. G. Pease, and J.
C. Ware.
Charles Knight and Paul Mc-
Kenney gave reports on the na­tional
convention held recently in
Atlanta. They represented Au­burn's
chapter and were among
delegates assembld from all over
the country.
Officers for Phi Psi for this
year are: Paul K. McKenney,
president; K. B. Smith, vice-pres­ident;
Nolan Helms, secretary.

ODK Will Sponsor
Unique Program
At Tiger April 29
Knights, Cartoons, Short
Subjects to Be on
Program at Theater
ODK has just completed
plans for a snappy program to
be presented at the Tiger
Theater on Saturday, April
29, at 10:30 a. m. under the
unique billing of "Queries
Handpicked."
In addition to a contest giving
those present a chance to compete
for $25.00 worth of prizes, there
will be a varied stage show includ­ing
many musical novelties topp­ed
off by the showing of several
movie shorts. The entire prog­ram
is something vastly different
from any production ever offered
to the students here in Auburn.
A Professor Quiz Contest
The feature of the program will
be a contest somewhat of the na­ture
of the famed "Professor Quiz"
programs heard over the radio.
According to plans there will be
drawing of names from a box
containing names of those present
who wish to take part. Prior to
the drawing, the box will be plac­ed
in the lobby where persons
wishing to participate may drop
their ticket-stubs. There will be
four different groups drawn, and
the competition will be among the
individuals comprising the var­ious
groups.
Participants will draw their
question from a box containing
several hundred questions relat­ing
to every field of human activ­ity.
There will foe a first and sec­ond
prize given in each group.
Contestants will be scored ac­cording
to their percentage of cor­rect
answers, based also on the
number of replys partially right.
Knights, Short Subjects
In order to vary the program
there will be musical selections by
the Auburn Knights intermingled
with the various quiz groups.
Along with the swing from this
outstanding band will be several
numbers by other entertainers. To
top the program off, at the com­pletion
of the quiz and musical
features will come several short
screen comedies.
Prizes will include clothing,
meal tickets, theater tickets, and
numerous other articles. Gus
Coats, manager of the Tiger
Theater, is aiding the ODK com­mittee
in every way to help make
this new and different form of en­tertainment
the best ever present­ed
in Auburn.
The admission to the affair will
be 20 cents and tickets can be
purchased from the following
ODK members and pledges:
L. E. Foster, Billy McGehee, Bo
Russell, John Davis, John Eagan,
Edwin Godfoold, Charles Grisham,

Members, Pledges of Theta
Chi Are Hosts at Steak Fry
Members and pledges of the Chi
chapter of the Theta Chi frater­nity
were hosts of a steak supper
held at Wright's Mill last Friday
night.
There were 93 guests present in­cluding
the Theta Chi's and their
dates. The party left the Theta
Chi house at 5 o'clock and arrived
at Wright's Mill at 5:30. While
the steaks were frying over a huge
bonfire, the guests lay on the sand
and listened to the music of
Saunders Ulmer and his accord­ion.
After the seaks had been con­sumed
and everyone had grown
tired of sitting around the fire,
they returned to the home of the
OX, where a house dance was
soon in progress. The dance was
as great a success as the supper.

Asset Number 1
Repeatedly, since the report of the now-famous
Economic Council, we have seen the
statement that the South is "economic oppor­tunity
number one," instead of "economic
problem number one."
We agree that the South is blessed in many
ways. Alabama, for instance leads the states
in self-sufficiency. We have more navigable
streams than any other state and also more
canalized waterways.
We have the closest port on the Gulf to
the Panama Canal. We have tremendous re­sources,
particularly iron and steel and coal.
Our climate permits year-round outdoor
labor and 300 crop days per year. Our work-era
arc almost all riatiyp born and can pur­chase
more with a dollar than can workers
in most other sections. We have much and
are making tremendous strides industrially.
But in thinking over the roll of this year's
senior class here, we note the many, many
superior minds, the honor students, who are
leaving the South because they have better
offers out of the region. Dozens of our
friends are doing it—the best talent Ala­bama
produces.
Educated here at state expense, nutured
by Alabama and her traditions, they are "ex­ported"
free of charge to the North to build
up their commerce and industry.
Perhaps someday the discriminations will
be removed, the South will awake to her
tremendous waste of both natural and human
resources and the region will be "economic
opportunity number one."
It's A Funny Thing, But
It's a funny thing, but the average Amer­ican
citizen still thinks of colleges as
places where students spend their time go­ing
to football games and dances and swal­lowing
goldfish by the score and where pro­fessors
go about solemnly in cap and gown
preaching Communism or being very dull.
And it's no wonder that this impression
prevails, for the motion pictures have treat­ed
the subject in their usual style. Freshmen
come to college. Boy meets girl. Girl meets
boy (upperclassman). Boys join football
team. Scattered about are scenery decorators,
including a fool (usually a freshman), assort­ed
singers and dancers, from one to five
football teams, a kindly pawnshop proprie­tor,
and a number of professors who seem
(and rightfully so) dazed by the entire pro­ceedings.
Hero and heroine finally save the
football season or lift the school mortgage
while villain flunks out. Ends in romantic
clinch.
In these pictures the function of colleges
as seats of learning is regarded as an ac­cessory
evil by which the hero almost gets
thrown off the team. The students spend
days and nights wandering about having a
wonderful time at gorgeous night clubs or
at pep meetings.
It would seem that some intelligent mot­ion
picture producer could someday realize
that college students think of other things
than athletics, romance, and horseplay, and
that many a real drama goes on in the course
of an ordinary college career.
We want the world to know that the Amer­ican
college student is an ordinary indivi­dual
whose main interests lie in a combina­tion
of study and pleasure just as anyone
else. He can not afford Cadillac converti­bles;
he regards athletics as a pleasant amuse­ment
for an occasional afternoon; he is in­terested
in extra-curricular activities that
range from archery to zither playing; he is
heartily in favor of the democratic form of
government and complacently accepts its
faults; he makes his politics as inconsequen­tial
and as shady as do his elders; if he
thought he was coming to a country club, he
is disillusioned by now. But most of all, he
is a human being, no better and no worse
than his contemporaries outside the shelter
of college walls. —The Duke Chronicle
Youth Of Today
A recent issue of the Opelika Daily News
has this to say on the subject of this modern
age's youth: ,.
"The old fogies you sometimes hear crit­icizing
the youth of today as a wild, ram­pant,
unruly do-as-you-care, un-religious
specie, should hang their heads in shame for
their shallow mouthings, when one picks up
a college paper and reads such a classic as
the following by John Godbold of the Auburn
Plainsman editorial staff, in his column, "Be­fore
Tomorrow:
"Easter morning we sat in church and lis­tened
to the organ music. There is some­thing
soul-stirring about organ music. Coup­led
with the serenity of a church it reaches
to the depths of one's being. One moment the
organ thunders forth in awesome crescendo,
each note booming like some great drum,
yet all bound together by the smooth flow
of the undertones. The next moment it trills
gently like a frightened child telling of his
fears. Or again behind its quiet ebb and flow,
it whispers like some bird heard from a
far distance. '
"We would like to go to church sometime
and hear a service of nothing but organ mu­sic.
There would be no spoken word or rus­tle
of movement to halt the train of our
thoughts and being. There is no other oc­casion
upon which man feels his humble­ness
so much, no other place in which man
can meditate so much on his shortcomings
and his aspirations."
The South, Suh!
There's a play running strong in New York
called "Kiss the Boys Goodbye."
A happy line from the production is: "If
you can shoot like a South Carolinian, ride
like a Virginian, drink like a Kentuckian,
make love like a Georgian, and be as proud
as an Episcopalian, then, suh, you're a South­ern
gentleman!"
The Professor Says
That class room discipline ought to be "fait
accompli" in college teaching.
That students do their best work in sub­jects
in which they have the greatest inter­est.
That a teacher's duty is to make the course
interesting—but not entertaining.
That interest in a subject is contagious—
Students can catch it.
That there is no learning when there is no
interest.
That confidence in the teacher, like con­fidence
in the money of a country, must be
maintained at all costs.
That the "cut" system makes us forget our
moral obligation to be interesting.
That humor is a very important part of the
teacher-student relationship.
That the brightest students are often the
most careless.
That the students most difficult to grade
are the so-called average members of the
group.
That a teacher not only must know his sub­ject
but he must know also its relationship
to other subjects.
That scholarship is essentially the first
pre-requisite for college teaching.
That every teacher must be somewhat of
an actor.
That lecturing students on plans for the
coming year is a waste of time—they usually
are not interested and you must change
plans as situations warrant anyway.
That after some classes you feel you did
a good job—on other occasions and under
Similar circumstances you are convinced
that the hour was wasted.
That the good student is almost consistenly
prepared and that the poor student is almost
consistently unprepared—but—the average
student demands everlasting vigilance.
By John Ivey Jr.
After filling this column up for
the better part of eight months,
we get quite a kick out of hearing
comments as to the monotony of
the task. So now that more copy
must be placed on the hook for the
tyrant of the Plainsman office, the
linotype man, we began to cast
our eyes about this office for an
idea on which to start an expla
nation of our position.
* * *
A mad editor who can think of
nothing other than "copy" and
"proof" continually d a s h es
through the door that opens into
the hulking construction that
houses the printing presses and
the linotype machine. He kids one
along, begging and pleading for
those thin yellow type-written
pages that must come into his pos­session
before he can feed that
queer-looking machine that is
ever turning out little strips of
warm metal that go to make up
a galley of print.
* * *
Fingers drum absently on the
top of the desk which proudly sup­ports
two new Underwood type­writers,
the pride of the office.
Presently an idea comes to mind
by the most painful of all routes,
necessity. When one sits down to
write and has some little matter
on his mind that was born of sug­gestion
or by the happening of
some interesting event, then the
task takes the proportion of let­ting
one's self float along on the
imagination while the fingers

From the press room there is a
continual click of the linotype ma­chine
which keeps one alive and
aware of the dull, slightly rank,
and even bitter smell of printer's
ink. We have a slight, nervous,
but kindly individual who is the
terror of the reporters . . . he is
called Carl . . . red-headed and
rather short . . . a printer by pro­fession.
He is the busiest man in
town, but enjoys taking a few
minutes off to beat some of the
suckers out of a dope. His hands
are always black with ink and
made very effective weapons for
threats to persons who might be
standing in the way when he goes
tearing like mad toward some of
his precious galleys to check gal­leys
of proof.
* * *
Glancing around for some mea­sure
of relief, the eye falls on the
editor, who has by this time given
up all hope of ever getting this
document to the impatient presses.
The red-headed individual is pour­ing
over proofs just given to him
by the Plainsman "inkspot." This
son of the dark race gets the
blame for everything that might
go wrong. No matter what the
cause, the "inkspot" finds his per­son
on the receiving end of end­less
abuse from all who might de­sire
to so chastise him . . . funny,
but he is always grinning about
something, an act that results in
the exhibition of a mouth of shin­ing
ivories.
* » »
Now the financial wizard of the
publication stalks in. He demands
a report on some ad that he might
have been expecting . . . walks
briskly into his office, an opening
in the wall crammed full of rec­ords
and musty files, to check on
his ever-growing wad of money.
Everyone calls him "Little Man"
. . . his name appears on the edi­torial
page as Charles Grisham,
business manager . . . small in
statue, but makes up for a stubby
build with big business deals.

"Bird-legs" Martin rattles in
the front door with long expos­tulations
in regards to some hap­pening
that has roused his anger
to the end that he must dash off
an editorial to quiet his fevered
mind.
The aforementioned individual
casts himself carelessly into one of
the ten-year-old typing chairs that
stand patiently in front of a sil­ent
typewriter and pounds heat­edly
at the unprotective keys.
Finally exhausted, he reads over
his latest literary masterpiece,
wrinkles his eyebrow, moves his
right foot nervously, and in a fit
of anger throws the "thing" in
the waste basket.
After a moment's consideration,
he hunts silently through the
basket for his discarded work,
smooths it out, and gives it bash­fully
to the editor who mumbles
something and starts his usual re­lentless
chopping up of copy.
"Bird-legs" walks out of the of­fice
feeling that he has at least
gotten something off his mind.

Yesterday from under the corner of our desk blotter we fished
out a pink-sheeted April Fool copy of The Huntress of Huntingdon
College.
One of the editorials headed "Plain Plainsman" states:
"It seems a pity that the Auburn Plainsman publishes such a
drab sheet. This fault may keep us from receiving the sheet, and
this would grieve us, for occasionally in the exchange column we
find a joke we like.
"Yet the Plainsman may be declared unfit to be mailed. Each
issue clearly violates Section\ XXIV, page IV of the Postal Regula­tions.
This section states that no paper will be allowed in the mails
which does not have headlines large enough to be read without the
aid of a magnifying glass.
"Poor Auburn! It is pathetic that such a promising institution
should have an uninteresting paper."
We can't exactly see the justice of such a pint-sized publication
as The Huntress talking about the size of headlines, for When you
try to say "Boo" in their headlines, you run off the front page of the
paper.

The Gift of Grab
By Bob Anderson
We just received a little ad­vance
information by the Plains­man's
personal grapevine that the
Alabama College girls at Monte-vallo
are preparing a strong and
lengthy denial of the letter re­ceived
by Ye Ed last week in
which they apologised for their
unsportsmanlike attitude in our
little feudin'.
We don't know why they've
changed their minds, but they're
on the verge of claiming that they
didn't write the letter. (Remem­ber,
we only heard that that was
their claim, we didn't say it was.)

A recent poll by the "Student
Opion Surveys of America" re­vealed
the following results con­cerning
the attitude of the Amer­ican
college student toward drink­ing:
Eight out of every ten stu­dents
are opposed to the return
of prohibition. Only 34.8 per cent
think collegians drink too much.
Almost six out of every ten ad­mit
that they drink. 65.2 per cent
are of the opinion that students
are moderate drinkers. Although
students are aware of the fact
that liquor creates a definite soc­ial
problem, the poll shows that
they do not believe that a law
against drinking is the way out.
* * *
Getting out this column is no
fun:
down and let the mind wander,
tout the trouble with the project
is that Ye Ed will never allow
another document of this kind to
darken his editorial page . . . well,
maybe he will slip this time.
If we print jokes,, people say
we are silly.
If we clip things from other pa­pers,
we are too lazy to write
them ourselves.
If we don't we are too fond of
our own stuff.
If we don't print contributions,
people meet us in a huff.
If we do print them, the col­umn
is filled with junk.
Now, like as not, someone will
say that we swiped this from
some other paper.
Well, we DID.—Ferris Torch.

Before Tomorrow
By John Godbold
It may seem axiomatic, but an
average man could hardly give
away a quarter of a billion dol­lars
in a lifetime and do a good
job of it. John D. Rockefeller Jr.
has done just that.
We are not philozophizing over
whether or not it is morally and
socially right that one man should
have several billion dollars under
his control. That is another ques­tion.
Rockefeller has, with all his
wealth, been both wise and gene­rous
in his philanthropies.
He has almost made a life's work
of giving. He has studied carefully
each request and each plan be­fore
turning loose the funds. The
result has been some notable con­tributions
to society, which, when
compared with the Hearsts, the
Morgans, the Astors, and their
groups show up especially well.
In 1901, just out of college,
Rockefeller, on behalf of his
father, set up the 55 million dol­lar
Rockefeller Institute for Med­ical
Research.
The next year came the General
Education Board whose endow­ment
has reached 127 million and
whose purpose has been to pro­mote
education throughout the
country.
About a decade later the well-known
Rockefeller Foundation,
with present resources of about
185 million, was set up and dedi­cated
"to promote the well-toeing
of mankind throughout the
world." And it has achieved its
objective in many ways.
In 1910 young Rockefeller was
drafted for a special grand jury
which was investigating the
white-slave traffic in New York;
As foreman, he kept the jury sit­ting
for six months and did a
good job of investigating. His
findings While on the jury so
shocked the deeply religious cap­italist
that he established the six
million dollar Bureau of Social
Hygiene.
To carry abroad the principles
and practices of the General Edu­cation
Board the International Ed­ucation
Board with an 18 million
dollar endowment was establish­ed.
For the reconstruction of the
past Rockefeller has given 19
million. The palace of Versailles,
Rheims Cathedral, Williamsburg,
Va., and many art subjects have
been among those benefited.
For parks, conservation, roads,
and other preservation of natural
loveliness he has given 27 mil­lion.
This has included saving of
the redwoods in California and of
the almost extinct sugar pines of
the Yosemite.
For libraries and fine arts he
has given almost 16 million.
His gift to colleges and univer­sities,
independent of his various
educational foundations, have been
more than six million dollars.
For miscellaneous international
purposes he has granted more
than 14 million. This includes the
famous International Houses in
which foreign students live, fam­ine
relief in Europe and China,
and the League of Nations.
To labor—in which he is in­tensely
interested—relief, and
miscellaneous charities he has
given between four and five mil­lion.
The total given to churches and
church work has been more than
28 million. Incidentally, Rocke­feller
is very broad in his relig­ious
beliefs, having distributed his
gifts over varied beliefs and
sects.
His experimental housing pro­jects
and slum clearance have
cost him between 13 and 14 mil­lion.
Whether Rockefeller's vast mil­lions
would have been better used
if not concentrated in his hands
is a question about which one can
surmise. But no matter what the
conclusion, the fact remains that
he has given wisely and well.

allows a weight to fall on a
mouse trap. This springs, and pulls
two strings. One string jerks the
stopper of the alarm clock, shut­ting
off the din, and the other
jerks open a switch on the radio.
The radio, of course, has already
been tuned in on a station that
broadcasts dance music at the stu­dents'
hour of arising.

Eddie DeLange has pulled a
couple of old discarded tunes out
of his files and given them a new
lease on life, "He May Be Your
Man" and "Oh! By Jingo." Some­thing
really uptown in the blues
field, the first of this group should
really catch on after the treat­ment
of Elisse Cooper in really
interesting vocal course.

Deep in the groove basking in
the lifting strains of "Plumber's
Revenge" and "Duck Foot Wad­dle"
is the Les Brown outfit. Mak­ing
the revenge sweet, the band
kicks along at a fast knock in the
first tune while they slow down
to a medium tempo a bit to give
the latter tune an interesting
touch. This Bluebird is typical of
the Les Brown work and is very
good.

Jerry Stewart a Cantor
Still another member of Shep
Fields' organization is Jerry Ste
wart. If one is acquainted with
the requirements to be a cantor,
it is indeed surprising that Jerry
Stewart has the necessary re­quirements
and has been known
as one of the East's leading boy
cantors for the past ten years.
Fully qualified to perform mar­riage
ceremonies, Jerry Stewart is
indeed a unique personality. Still
in his teens, he is quite unusual
when this young lad solemnly
asks a devoted couple if they
faithfully promise to be true to
each other forever after.
Jerry Stewart's songs are a fea­ture
in themselves because his
voice has such a fine and beauti­ful
tone. Singing the modern bal­lads
of today, he fits in perfectly
with the unique musical arrange­ments
of the Rippling Rhythm
orchestra.
Boy Cantor for Ten Years
Born in New York, Jerry Ste­wart
has led a musical life that
is quite different from what he
is now doing. Being a member of
the choir and a boy cantor for
the past ten years, his present po­sition
as vocalist with Shep Fields
and his modern tempos is indeed
a contrast to the century old
hymns that he had been singing
in the past.
An ardent enthusiast who heard
Jerry sing became so thrilled by
his voice that he insisted that
Jerry immediately make arrange
ments to prepare himself for a
position with an orchestra. This
friend prevailed upon Shep Fields
to listen to this young lad and
after a short while, Jerry was giv­en
an audition which proved suc­cessful,
with the result that he is
now a featured member of Shep
Fields' famous organization.

Lombard, Stewart
To Play at Tiger
Lovely Carole Lombard and
papular James Stewart make their
debut as a new romantic team in
David O. Selznick's "Made For
Each Other," a modern-day drama
of young married love which opens
a two-day engagement at the
Tiger Theater on Wednesday.
Supporting this new starring duo
is a large and imposing cast of
notable players headed by Lucile
Watson, Charles Coburn, Ruth
Weston, Donald Briggs and Eddie
Quillan. The cast in its speaking
parts alone numbers 86, at least
40 to 50 higher than the ordinary
feature.
"Made For Each Other," film­ed
from the screenplay written by
Jo Swerling, is the poignant story
of John and Jane Mason, a young
married couple, whose counter­parts
may be found almost any­where
in the world, a couple
struggling to overcome opposing
economic forces, their lives com­plicated
by the presence of a good-intentioned
but misguided mother-in-
law. All the joys, the trade-dies,
the problems, comedy and
romance of young married love
are woven into the story.
