John Thomas Wheeler Jr. is a junior in chemical engineering from Bessemer and is a non-fraternity man. Lynn Francis Williams, Birmingham, is a junior in the School of Chemistry and is a non-fra-temity man. Phi Lambda Upsilon is the highest honor that can be bestowed upon a student at Auburn taking chemistry or chemical engineering. The purpose of the society is to foster a spirit of fellowship among the students in the field of chemistry, to promote a higher standard of scholarship, to widen the interest in the field of chemistry and its allied subjects, and to place honor upon those students deserving of recognition because of their meritorious work. 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 (Continued on Page Four) New Buildings Under Construction All Home Economics Students Invited to Home Ec Club All home economics students are invited to attend the Home Economics Club meeting Thursday night, April 20, Smith Hall, at 7 p. m. The meeting will .be in the form of a Japanese Tea, and all attending are requested to wear a costume suitable for this occasion, such as a house coat or kimona. NOTICE The Students Home Economics Club will meet Thursday night at 7 p. m. in Smith Hall. Today there are 1,350,000 students enrolled in U. S. Colleges and universities. 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.

A. work and in the Baptist Student Union, is president of both the Home Ec Club and the Girls' Glee Club. Rushing Rules Are Voted Down Restrictions on Rushing Are Defeated Last Night At the regular meeting of the Interfraternity Council last night the group voted down suggested regulations restricting rushing. At *he same meeting the council pass- **d the following acts: "It shall be the duty of the officers of the Interfraternity Council to enforce all regulations set forth in the constitution, eligibility rules, by-laws, and pledging rules. "The officers of the Council and the faculty adviser shall constitute the Interfraternity Council Court before which all infractions of any of the above-mentioned rules and regulations- shall be tried. A three-fourths vote of this court shall be necessary to reach a decision and this decision shall be final. "No fraternity that is a member of this council shall be allowed at any time to hold any form of initiation or public demonstration off the property of the fraternity. Violation of this regulation will subject the fraternity to a minimum fine of twenty-five dollars ($25.00). "It shall be the duty of the president of each fraternity to appoint one member of the fraternity who will be known as the summer representative of the fraternity and will be answerable to the council faculty advisor for any infractions during the weeks of summer school of any of the rules or regulations of the Council." NOTICE All seniors and candidates for graduation in May are urged to take notice that the cap and gown contract has been let to Burton's Book Store. Measurements are being taken at this time with dead line set for April 30. Quarles Will Be BSU Speaker The Annual Baptist Student Union will be given next Friday night at 6:30 in the Student Department of the First Baptist Church. This banquet is the chief social function sponsored by the B. S. U. during the school year, and is planned as a climax to the year's work. Chester Quarles, Secretary of the State B. T. U. Department in Montgomery, will deliver the main address of the evening. His subject will be, "The Fairest of the Fair." The program for the banquet, which has been planned in keeping with the theme, "World's Fair," is as follows: Prelude: Through the Corona Gateway; Invocation; Introduction of new and old Council members; The Time Capsule; Songs by quartet; Humor skit; Solo by Gordon Hubbard; Address by Davis Woolley; Address by Chester Quarles. 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, James Hilleke, George Knight, Sam Teague, Julian Fowler, Paul McKenney, Curty Farley, Bill Troup, and Perry Schwartz. The pledges include: John God - bold, Billy Smith, Bob Armstrong, John Ivey, Winfrey Boyd, Charles Kelly, John Watters, Tom Henley, Hank Parker, John Rice, Rollins Aldridge, and Carl Happer. 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.

Distributor of Collegiate Digest. 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 quickly tap out the thoughts passing rapidly across the mind. * * * 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. » » * Now the task is almost finished. It really does one good to sit "BUT I AM AT ATTENTION, SIR, IT'S THE UNIFORM THAT'S AT EASE!" BflflSFJELD AUBURN FOOTPRINTS Remember, kind reader, that Don Marquis once said: The Golden Hours We Waste in Toil Shall Ne'er More Return The Proper Sort of Midnight Oil Was Made to Drink—Not Burn. * * * 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. • * * A monopolist is one who gets his elbows on both arms of his theater chair. 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. * * * Bubber Southard has his dating troubles, and he's no little peeved at one Brenda Duff Frazi-er, New York socialite. Bubber thought it'd be a swell idea to have Brenda down to The Citadel for the annual Senior Hop, but she just couldn't be located. He called New York and Miami and several other of Brenda's hangouts, but she wasn't to toe found— probably toecause he made all of the calls collect! * * * This week's poem comes from the Maroon Quill: i met a little holland girl with funny wooden shoes and a pretty little golden curl i kissed her, wouldn't youse? * * * Give an athlete an inch and he will take a foot. But here's the point. Let him take it; who wants athlete's foot, anyway.—Los Angeles Collegian. * * * Two ingenious University of Detroit studes have found a new way to get themselves up in the morning. They, Bertrand Farrell and Don Parro, present this startling method: When the alarm goes 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. off, a string, attached to the buzzer, 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. * * » I am a college boy. I enjoy college immensely.

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.

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. fraternity house and in the drug stores Saturday, and will be taken up the following week.

LXII Z-I AUBURN, ALABAMA, TUESDAY, APRIL 18, 1939 NUMBER 57 Blue Key Chooses Fifteen Juniors Honor Society Names New Pledges Ten Chemical Juniors Tapped By Phi Lambda Upsilon Society Are Accorded Highest Honor Obtainable In Chemistry Here 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, national honorary chemical society. The new men, including nine juniors and one senior, were tapped at a meeting of the old members of Phi Lambda Upsilon in. the Chemical Engineering Laboratory last week and were given cardboard keys in recognition of their election. Those men tapped include Leo Adair Bidez, William Austin Buce, Charles William Cook, Tuney Chester Culver, Malcolm Edward Hannah, Arthur Edwin Hannah, Arthur Edwin Harvey, Henry Ca-son. Maulshagen, Robin Adair Russell, John Thomas Wheeler Jr., and Lynn Francis Williams. Leo Adair Bidez, a junior in chemical engineering from Mobile, is a member of Sigma Chi social fraternity and was recently tapped for membership in Scabbard and Blade and Tau Beta Pi. William Austin Buce is a junior in chemical engineering from Birmingham and is a non-fraternity man. Charles William Cook of Auburn is registered as a junior in the School of Chemistry and is a non-fraternity man. Tuney Chester Culver of Deats-ville is a non-fraternity man and a junior in chemistry. ( Malcolm Edward Hannah -of Pensacola, Fla., is a junior in the School of Chemical Engineering and is a member of Delta Sigma Phi social fraternity. Arthur Edwin Harvey of Brew-ton is a non-fraternity man and is taking chemical engineering.

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 (Continued on Page Four) New Buildings Under Construction All Home Economics Students Invited to Home Ec Club All home economics students are invited to attend the Home Economics Club meeting Thursday night, April 20, Smith Hall, at 7 p. m. The meeting will .be in the form of a Japanese Tea, and all attending are requested to wear a costume suitable for this occasion, such as a house coat or kimona. NOTICE The Students Home Economics Club will meet Thursday night at 7 p. m. in Smith Hall. Today there are 1,350,000 students enrolled in U. S. Colleges and universities. 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.

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, James Hilleke, George Knight, Sam Teague, Julian Fowler, Paul McKenney, Curty Farley, Bill Troup, and Perry Schwartz.

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.

Distributor of Collegiate Digest. 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 quickly tap out the thoughts passing rapidly across the mind. * * * 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. » » * Now the task is almost finished. It really does one good to sit "BUT I AM AT ATTENTION, SIR, IT'S THE UNIFORM THAT'S AT EASE!" BflflSFJELD AUBURN FOOTPRINTS Remember, kind reader, that Don Marquis once said: The Golden Hours We Waste in Toil Shall Ne'er More Return The Proper Sort of Midnight Oil Was Made to Drink—Not Burn. * * * 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. • * * A monopolist is one who gets his elbows on both arms of his theater chair. 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. * * * Bubber Southard has his dating troubles, and he's no little peeved at one Brenda Duff Frazi-er, New York socialite. Bubber thought it'd be a swell idea to have Brenda down to The Citadel for the annual Senior Hop, but she just couldn't be located. He called New York and Miami and several other of Brenda's hangouts, but she wasn't to toe found— probably toecause he made all of the calls collect! * * * This week's poem comes from the Maroon Quill: i met a little holland girl with funny wooden shoes and a pretty little golden curl i kissed her, wouldn't youse? * * * Give an athlete an inch and he will take a foot. But here's the point. Let him take it; who wants athlete's foot, anyway.—Los Angeles Collegian. * * * Two ingenious University of Detroit studes have found a new way to get themselves up in the morning. They, Bertrand Farrell and Don Parro, present this startling method: When the alarm goes 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. off, a string, attached to the buzzer, 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. * * » I am a college boy. I enjoy college immensely. I have the best room in town by far. In my spare time I study continously. I like all the lectures because they are so interesting. Term papers are a lot of fun to write. Exams are like a great big game. I do them because of that. I do anythink I want. I am Napoleon.—Villano-van.

Shep Fields (Continued from page one) featured vocalist and guitar player. 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.

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. fraternity house and in the drug stores Saturday, and will be taken up the following week.
