Semi-Weekly Friday THE AUBURN PLAINSMAN VOL. LXI Z-I AUBURN, ALABAMA, FRIDAY, APRIL 22, 1938. NUMBER 58 ilection Results Show Turn-Over n Winners The final results of the Election Wednesday gave Edwin Godbold win over L. E. Foster for editor of the Plainsman with a count of 263 to 256. Jack Owens took the chairman of the Social Committee job with his 284 votes to Bunchey" Fowler's 233. Shelton Pinion took the Presidency of the Executive Cabinet with an overwhelming majority over Billy Mc- Gehee, the count being 304 to 213. As yet no one has contested this election, George Lehnert, chairman of the elections committee, itated. Profs. Charles Davis and John Cottier assisted Lehnert in conducting the polls. This is the first time that members of the faculty have sat upon the polls during a general campus election. However, due to the trouble after the last election and because this was a reelection, in part, it was decided by the committee to call in members of the faculty to assist with the issuance of ballots and the counting of them. A fairly heavy vote was recorded. It was strictly a Junior class election, though a great deal of interest had been conjured up over the campus concerning its ultimate outcome, it may be added. In the race for each position, there were but two contestants, thereby making it a mere speculation as to whom would come out in either of the races. :inal Dance Bid lards Are Out Plans are well under way for the final dances, Ed< Duncan, chairman of the Social Committee, announced today. Bid cards have been distributed to all fraternity houses on the campus and at many of the local stores. Chairman Duncan requests that bid cards be filled out as soon as possible and states that the date for taking them up will be announced in Wednesday's Plainsman. The bid cards are to be filled out in duplicate, one copy necessary for the chairman and the other for Miss Dobfos. Decorations for the final dances are let on contract. Many plans have been submitted and Duncan teays that from all indications the decorations will be better than any of the preceeding final dances. Posters have been placed in Montgomery, Birmingham, Atlanta, Columbus and other points in Georgia and Alabama. It is expected that a large number of out of town people and alumni will attend. There will be a short subject at the Tiger Theatre Sunday featuring Deacon Moore and his orchestra. This is the only short subject he has ever made and many students will be on hand to acquaint themselves with the Moore type of rhythm. Former Auburn Man Takes Honors At Northwestern EVANSTON, 111., Special—Walter Starr, Auburn, Alabama, was one of 11 men to receive wrestling numerals at Northwestern university this year. Starr, a junior, is a transfer student and was ineligible to compete on the varsity team this year. Thus, he had to participate on the freshman team. Coach Wes Brown, however, has taken full notice of the Auburn youth's a-bility and is counting upon him as a starter in the new 128 pound class next year. In the several freshmen-varsity matches, Starr was a consistent winner. In addition, he is probably the fastest man on the squad, and for his weight, one of the strongest. He is enrolled in the School of Commerce and will be graduated in June, 1939, giving him one year of competition. Over One Hundred Take Part In Floor Show At Convention Entertainment Over a hundred students, townspeople and children took part in the presentation of a floor show at the El Greco night club Wednesday night as a special entertainment feature for the Alabama Federation of Women's Clubs, which held a three-day convention here.

Brown, Robert Duncan, and Mrs. George Bayne, general arrangements. BANQUET SPEAKER History Of The Development Of Clinic Is Given By A Veterinary Student By H. B. TITLE Veterinary Student The clinic is without doubt one of the most important components of our veterinary school. The rapid growth of our clinic has been mainnly due to the tireless efforts of our immortal Dr. Cary. When Dr. Cary came to Auburn, there was no School of Veterinary Medicine. He was serving in the capacity of Professor of Veterinary Science in the Agricultural Department. Dr. Cary soon saw the need of a more comprehensive study of animal ailments, so he organized a sort of forum where he lectured on diseases of livestock to all students who were interested. Dr. Cary's fine lectures rapidly spread throughout the campus and soon a good number of students were attending his talks. Later, after the veterinary school was instituted, and Dr. Cary was appointed Dean, he continued these talks and it progressed into the fine clinic we have now. Dr. Cary had a very able man assisting him at all these lectures; none other than our present dean, Dr. McAdory. "Doctor Mac," as he is better known on the hill, took up the reins and he has done remarkably well in continuing the fine example set for him by his predecessor. Since assuming office, Dr. McAdory has made several needed additions to the veterinary school. Most recent of these has been the establishment of a small animal clinic. This new addition has been sorely needly by our rapidly expanding institution and we have Dr. McAdory to thank for its installation. Auburn's Veterinary School has often been called one of the most practical in the country. This has solely been made possible because of the opportunity the student has to apply the theories which he learns in the class-room. In the various textbooks, the authors frequently describe operations that are generally performed under i-deal conditions. The average practitioner in the field does not have the advantage of these conditions; the members of the faculty, therefore, stress many methods whereby the veterinarian could work under adverse conditions. To best carry out this policy, "Doctor Mac'r has chosen a faculty of experienced practitioners. Ever veterinarian on his staff has had many years of practice befoie entering the teaching profession and they frequently give a student expert advice which he could never learn from books. Auburn's fine clinic and excellent teaching staff have blended into a school of which we can well be proud, and its work has been made known throughout the country. NOTICE The Senior Stinkers will hold an important meeting tonight at 7:30 o'clock in Room 109, Ramsay HaU. All members, neophytes, and honorary members are urged to attend. Mr, Win. Hall Preston, Southern Baptist Student Secretary, will be the guest speaker at the Annual Baptist Student Union Banquet, Friday night. Baptist Banquet Is Held Tonight The Auburn Baptist Student Union will entertain with its Annual Banquet tonight at six thirty. The banquet will be held at the First Baptist Church. According to Davis Woolley, Student Secretary, an interesting program has been planned for the occasion. Mr. Wm. Hall Preston, Southern Baptist Student Secretary, of Nashville, Term., will be the guest speaker on the program. Special musical numbers will be heard during the evening. Movies of the Baptist Student Retreat at Ridgecrest N. C, last summer, will be shown immediately after the program. The theme for the decorations in the banquet hall will be "A Campfire Scene." Programs and place-cards will be in keeping with the theme. The B. S. U. Banquet is an annual affair at Auburn. All students, College faculty members, and others interested, besides the regular members of the Union, are extended a cordial invitation to attend. Delta Sigma Pi Initiates Six Walter Chandler, Charles Fin-cher, Hilding Homberg, John Wat-ters, Tom' Henley, and Marion Walker were formally initiated into the local chapter of Delta Sigma Pi last Tuesday evening. The initiation was held in the regular meeting room in Broun Hall, and was followed by a banquet at the Hitchcock Cafe. Delta Sigma Pi elects new members twice annually, the selections being made upon consideration vt scholarship and leadership of the students in the school of business administration, and upon their interest in the profession. Thirteen were initiated the first semester and six in the spring initiation. Presdent George Perry was master of ceremonies at the initiation banquet and introduced several Delta Sigma Pi alumni who welcomed the initiates into the fraternity, and'made short talks on what the business fraternity had meant to them. Jimmy Calloway and George Kenmore, tapped with this group, did not go through, but will be inducted at the fall initiation next year. Delta Sigma Pi will choose its new officers next week. The retiring officers are President George Perry, Vice-president Frank Connors, Secretary David Wittel, and Treasurer John Dub-berley. J. F. Segrest, J r . , Is 111 I n Panama Hospital J. F.

Waters Of Tennessee Spill On Ground Near Site Of Legendary Treasure By J. H. WHEELER Waters of the Tennessee River surging behind the big Tennessee Valley Authority dam at Gunters-ville, Alabama, will soon be spilling over the lowlands adjacent to a limestone cavern where a golden treasure of the Cherokee Indians is believed to lie hidden. The story of this legendary deposit dates back to the early days of white settlement in North Alabama, when a powerful tribe of the Cherokee Nation occupied the narrow slit in the side of Sand Mountain now known as Jones Cove. They were for the most part hunting and fishing people, but a few rude stone pestles and mortars still found occasionally in the cove is evidence that they were agriculturalists and millers, also. In 1837, friction had developed between these Indians and the whites pushing into their territory, and the United States gover-ernment removed them to a special reservation provided in Oklahoma. For the lands which they left behind, they were pail $5,000,000 in gold. No records of the disposition of this money are known. Hence the legend of Jones Cove, a picturesque valley between two wings of the long, low Appalachian plateau known as Sand Mountain. It is a wild place, heavily forested in pine, abounds in small game, and is mostly deserted, except for a few farmers near the river and now and then a solitary hunter or fisherman. Soon after the War Between the States, this Cove came into the possession of W. B. Wheeler, my grandfather, who, utilizing the power furnished by the rushing waters of Jones Creek, constructed a rude grist mill and ground corn for the surrounding territory. The business was profitable. But the isolated life was hard to endure, and finally, tired of the host of rattlesnakes and blackberry briars, he took his family to the top of Sand Mountain and left the Cove to the brambles. For many years Jones Cove lay undisturbed, except for occasional parties searching for valuable ginseng roots. Then, soon after my grandfather's death in 1920, a close relative chanced to learn of a map of a buried cave possessed by an Indian in Chattanooga, Tennessee, who claimed to be the descendant of a Cherokee princess. He investigated, and after a bit of persuasion obtained the whole story. "At a certain point in this cove," he was told, "you will find a large oak tree with a limb grafted back into the trunk so that it forms an arm pointing directly toward the mountainside. Go fifty feet in the direction the arm points, find the big rock with the map of the cave scratched on its side, roll it away, and dig straight down for sixty feet." Other direction and a wrinkled, faded map were forthcoming. A digging party was soon organized and set off for Jones Cove, armed with picks and shovels. They dug. Sixty feet down they found the opening to the cave, completely filled to a considerable distance with clay and rock which they succeeded in partially removing after weeks of labor. Then the chase became intense as various pointers turned up. One after another, signs which the Indian had forecast would be found were located. On the floor a large arrow made of five stones laid end to end and pointing directly into the cave was found. Beneath the head of the arrow was a large flat tablet of rock with a cross and the numeral "71" deeply scratched on it. Further into the cave, a rattlesnake was found imprinted on the wall. Other signs were located, but no treasure. The map showed the approximate location of the deposit, but a hundred years of dripping water had obscured any once-visible sealed pocket in the wall. Inside the cave, nothing was to be seen (Continued on page four) 'A' Club To Hold Dance Saturday The "A" Club dance Friday night will be one of the most elaborate dances ever staged by the club. Parts of the program will be broadcast over station WAPI, Birmingham, and WSFA, Montgomery, with Joe Patranca as mas-ta of ceremonies. Featured vocal artists on the program will be Albion Knight and Mary Bourg. Albion Knight is from Birmingham and sings with the Auburn Glee Club. Mary Bourg sings with the Auburn Knights orchestra and will make her swan song Friday night, leaving the Knights to fill another engagement. Johnny Davis, president of the "A" Club announces that sound absorbent material will be placed under the balcony of the gymnasium to give better acoustics for the broadcast. Davis states that the publicity of the college is uppermost in his mind in providing for broadcast of this dance. Debate Society Taps Five Men In Election The Alabama Polytechnic Institute chapter of Tau Kappa Alpha, national honorary forensic fraternity, tapped five men in its annual spring election. All of the men are upperclassmen and have taken an active part in varsity debate for at least one year, most of them for longer than that. William M. Boggs of Selma is a sophomore in Electrical Engineering. Larry Caruthers of Birmingham is a sophomore in Pre-Law. He is a member of the Sigma Chi Social fraternity. Tom Memory, a Sigma Chi from Blackshear, Ga., is a junior in Mechanical Engineering. Bernard Sykes, a sophomore in Pre-Law, is from Montgomery and is a member of Phi Delta Theta. He was a member of the team which represented Auburn in the Southern Debate Tournament this year. Guy Williams of New York, N. Y., is a junior in Pre-Law and a member of the SAE fraternity. Tau Kappa Alpha, one of the three national honorary forensic fraternities, maintains 94 chapters all over the United States. The Alabama Polytechnic Institute Chapter was established in 1936, receiving its charter in 1937. Since its organization if has steadily expanded its small original membership and established itself as one of the most worthwhile honor groups on the Auburn campus. Each year it sponsors two campus debate tournaments, one for freshmen and one for upperclassmen. Deacon Moore Is Real 'Hill Billy' By J. B. THOMAS Most of the radio stars who do "hill billy" characterizations on the air today are only fair imitations of the real thing. Not so with "Deacon" Moore, leader of the band which has been engaged for the final dances. • Carl "Deacon" Moore was born in Paragould, Arkansas, in 1902. Even today he gives 524 West Oak Street, Jonesboro, Arkansas, as his home address. The "Deacon" began drumming on his desk with pencils in school; soon he ordered his first set of drums from Sears, Roebuck, and Co. He organized his first band at the age of 12. Moore has, in addition to being widely known for his band, quite a reputation for his success as a composer. He has written such song hits as "St. James Infirmary," a swing sensation several seasons back. "Ding Dong Daddy" —remember Will Osborne's hick arrangement of that?—and "Bye Bye Blues". The latter tune was used as a theme for some years by Bert Lown and his orchestra. "Deacon" Moore and his orchestra have won admirers in the smartest hotels and clubs of Chicago, Denver, Cleveland, Cincinnati, Memphis, Boston, St. Paul, and other cities. Radio listeners everywhere are familiar with the quaint, droll humor of the "Deacon." Marge Hudson, the singing artist's model, is one of the featured vocalists. She is an exotic beauty of Spanish type, and her original style is presenting the newest hits is a genuine treat. Munson Compton, whose lyric tenor voice has, according to press reports, "quickened thousands of feminine hearts," is the other vocalist. "Deacon" himself comes in for an occasional vocal. Moore has been honored with commissions and badges from the police in nine cities. He owns his private plane' and is a licensed pilot at intervals in his career as a musician he has been a racing driver, and, of all things, a patent medicine salesman. PAGE TWO THE AUBURN PLAINSMAN FRIDAY, APRIL 22, 1938 Plainsman Editorials SOMETHING TO WRITE THE FOLKS BACK HOME ABOUT It is an opportune time to speak of Mother's and Dad's Day. Sunday, May 1, has been set aside on the Auburn campus for the student's parents to visit and be entertained on our campus. At this immediate time, names and addresses are being gotten from fraternity and non-fraternity students. With the lists completed as much as possible, invitations will be sent out to the non-fraternity and fraternity group's parents by the Executive Cabinet and Interfraternity Council respectively. Of course, full cooperation will be a necessary constituent in this procedure. But, as is the usual case, each student writes his parents at least every week or two. In the next letter that the student writes it would serve admirable as a news item to mention the Parent's Day which is to be had here at Auburn on the first Sunday in May and urge the parents to come up then. It would be of little trouble and would certainly be one of the most effective methods that could be used. Now don't let this matter of each student's writing home about the Parent's Day confuse anyone. The Interfraternity Council and the Executive Cabinet are 0 going to send out as full a list of formal invitations as will be possible from the lists that will be compiled of names and addresses. But should some be overlooked the matter could still be attended to by the personal letter from the. individual student. Too, it would serve as added incentive to their coming up should the personal letter from the children be received by them and urging them that they come up. A full and varied day of interesting entertainment will be provided on that day, a kind of entertainment that is deemed to suit the different tastes of parents. Should the project be looked at from a mercenary angle (we won't say school angle), the dividends forthcoming will be well worth any trouble we might conjure up in our minds about the having of such a "day". We say there will be definite dividends to come from it because it will be wholesome publicity for the college and its campus affairs. It will serve to point attention to Auburn as being a wide-awake and conscientious school. Get busy and invite your parents to come up here on May 1 to the Mother's and Dad's Day.

THE PAPER HAS CULTIVATED A TASTE FOR BILGE WATER A question is running the rounds of the campus. It is a simple question and when we say simple, we mean "simple". The question is "How much did the Spades pay Workman to back down?" We, of the Plainsman, have been insulted before, in fact, we have received nothing but "hell" the whole year, so we have learned to expect such bilge water from the students. The Plainsman has attempted to sponsor many worthwhile projects and measures in its editorial policy this year. Every move toward reform has met with opposition. Whenever it was possible we have over- Tun the opposition, but there have been instances where our narrowminded opposition has been to powerful. Projects have been dropped. We have worked conscientiously for a better Auburn. We have proposed nothing that we did not feel was for the good of the school and the students. Cooperation with the paper on its projects has been something desired but always lacking. We have been alone in everything we have attempted. At the end of the year we shall be condemned for not having accomplished a great deal. We shall take that along with all the other untoward comment, but we shall know that it was not our fault that nothing was accomplished. The campus situation at Auburn is far from ideal. While we know that we cannot reach the ideal situation, we know that steps toward such can be made. That is the reason we attempted a clean-up of campus politics. It was pointed out to us that the Spades were in back of some dirty politics. Intagible proof was given to back up the accusations, but definite proof was lacking. We were not paid to publish the articles nor the retraction. We were seeking the right when we published them and doing right when we retracted them. We are independent of all ties and what we do you may attribute to the machinations of our own minds. Bring on your bilge water . . . we have cultivated a taste for it! PLAINSMAN FORUM - Voice of the Students After the Wednesday election completely reversed the returns of the former election, it seems that another should be held wherein the winner of the best-two-out-of-three is proclaimed the winner. The numbers presented at the El Greco Club Wednesday night proved that Auburn has some real talent. There is no reason that we should not have an annual musical variety show here as is held on many other campuses in the country. After nine more issues you may tell us how bad the paper was for the entire year. It won't be long before Auburn will be the "Convention City" instead of the "Loveliest Village." We advocate the installation of a bell on the traffic light so we won't get a crick in our necks watching it change colors. There are days and days and queens and queens. The Senior Stinkers won't have a day or a queen, but we'll wager that they certainly put in an appearance. After graduation, a bunch of young men and women will go out to see what life is really like. A surprise is in store for those among them who have been "college hot." Finally a court was relinquished and the duo hastened to occupy it. But no sooner had they begun to play than another pair approached and informed them they had come to take over the court for varsity practice. Said one of the disgruntled pair: "We're out for the varsity too. Would you mind waiting .until we finish?" There is a new ice cream eating champ at Harvard. He clinched the title for the championship by putting away 24 plates—four vanilla, 18 chocolate and a sundae of particularly venomous appearance. The previous titleholder, a freshman, yielded to fatigue (or frigidity) at 19 plates. Editor The Plainsman Dear sir: Tiska, tiska, to one Delanor and one Jack Steppe. Aside from the unimportant detail that y.ou were both slightly incoherent and illogical in your criticism of my( recent letter allow me to inform you that you are now dubbed full-fledged Protectors in the overcrowded order of Homogeneity. Be most careful brother Steppe or your knees'll be getting calloused. If you will tell me when your birthday is I will amuse myself till then making a couple of sheep-lined knee-pads for your particular, special, quite appropriate pleasure and protection. Delanor is a rat so I won't bear down as hard as his communication warrants. He does not know me or anything about me yet he intimates that I am no credit to A. P. I., a brainless loafer, and airs his revolutionizing views on the subject of the "no-cut system" with the terrific let-down, "That this institution should do all it can to guide the students in the right path—" Saying of course, as all mental indigents must, that the only right is that as he sees it, and to top the matter off ends with the magnificenUy hypothecated, stupendously stupid syllogism that because I dislike a single characteristic of Auburn the entire school and I are out of tune, and therefore I should return whence I came. Allow me to curse them both, Steppe and Delanor, with my super-curse, and I will have had my say. "May you live to be as pld as Methuselah, as wise as Nietzsche, and your wife bear legitimate quintuplets every year!" Yours, One Person Sixteen Ems BY SPACER OUTER Spacer Outer Gives You "This week-end's Me-An'-U" It's rumored the Lambda Chi's Spring Festival this weekend will be enhanced with the "pink ladies" floating around. It's also rumored Maxie Welden will have his hands full of imported cream while the local job sours. Luck to U Maxie. It's two to one that Jace Green will be rushing to the Beauty Shop for a new perma-' nent before the coming affair. And here's hoping that Tommy Hagan's ex. flames from Montgomery and Atlanta won't make Cris leave for the hometown. And Now We Present A Little Inside Dope "Here and There" "Doc" Hyde is a wise cracker from way back yonder. The jokes make the man. Miss Ellene Nearing was graciously escorted by the Pi K A's this past week-end while Panell was out of town. "Olive Oyl" Wright and Mr. Hitchcock are taking in Auburn's "Broadway" once again. Threats were made by Sterling Graydon to yours truly, Spacer Outer, about his private affairs appearing in print. We wonder if he has any private affairs to air. Volunteered information will be graciously accepted. Mr. Dickie Allen is on his ear about what was said concerning his two-timing last week in this column, so please disregard that which we said. Still . . . we would like to remark that Auburn's Grille is a fine place to sneak in and get a tooth pick from the cute little cashering Vivian Prior. Collegiate Review (By Associated Collegiate Press) Robert Frost, beloved Harvard University poet-teacher, has a reputation for great teaching and great writing. To this leader of students, Kenneth Leslie recently wrote a poem, had it printed on the New York Times' editorial page. A portion of "Cobweb College", -written for Robert Frost, follows: A batch of freshmen came to Cobweb College; the Spider looked them over, frowned and said "These boys are ghosts of boys, cracked wide with knowledge their dreams dried out and left the dreamers dead. There's not a meal among them, no illusion to sharpen up my tooth on, no romance for me to ridicule to red confusion, no creed on which to slake my poison lance. I've drawn their blood too many generations and spoiled the breed. Their fathers, when I wrapped them in causal web and silken strong equations, would lunge and writhe, grimacing when I snapped them with categoried claws. These modern schools condition them until they yearn to yield; their wills are like the blown pigskin that drools November muck around a soggy field.

Talk About The Town BY JACK STEPPE — R. L. MUNDHENK In the morning mail we find another communication from that super being, that super-curser, "One Person." Needless to say, his logic has us quite breathless, bowed down, and exhausted. We're down . . . we're almost out. But may we point out that lack of logic is not confined to Delanor? In "One Person's" first letter he objected to the cut rule "as an insult to the intelligence of the students." Yet he closed by proving the stupidity of the masses. Consistency, where art thou? However, we're glad to see "One Person" in print. For in America we're safe from fools like him. In dictatorial countries he'd be thrown into prison and made a martyr— for daring to think. In America he is allowed to publish his radical prattle, his immature mouthing of words. His vague statements are exposed to the hearty laughter of the masses he so despises. Vague, did we say? Evidence of the latter lies in reading and trying to understand parts of his first letter. CHANGE OF HEART—Workman's abject retraction and apology to Spades. It takes a good man to admit he was wrong. BARGAIN FOR GODBOLD . . . Fore Sale: Slightly used speech of acceptance—good as new. L. E. Foster. EXTRAVAGANZA . . .

Dinner music—so we thought—was supposed to be low. WHAT AUBURN NEEDS . . . is a course for the Ag students teaching them how to unravel a crop-control law.

RESURRECTION And lo! the trumpets blow; * The ground rises and walks again In human form. The sun, the moon, and the stars all shine at once — Glory, glory everywhere! What's this . . . . A squabble on Resurrection Day? And the lord on his golden throne Is aghast at his oversight. Being a product of the infinite How could he be expected to know That single matter cannot fill two places at once? — The Matter? Why it's two bodies fighting for the same head. One Person News And Views BY JOHN GODBOLD LITTLE HINDSIGHT and les9 foresight are inherent characteristics of those who bitterly oppose President Roosevelt's scheme to relieve the "recession." In 1932 business was at about the lowest ebb possible. FDR pulled it out by putting the full force of the government behind recovery. After the depression was over—if it ever was—business began to object to paying the debts incurred in saving its own life. A brief period of overproduction came and then the recession, which was no surprise, already having been predicted by economists. And now business wants the government to rush to its rescue again but without expending any money in doing so. Roosevelt is a humanitarian statesman, gifted with great intelligence and ability, and years in advance in his thinking, but he cannot aid business conditions without paying out money. Unless business, whether big or little, appreciates that fact, our "recession" may become in truth a "depression." THE MONTGOMERY ADVERTISER is a fine newspaper. When its editorialists choose to be serious, they can turn out good work. When they choose to be frivolous, the result is always uproariously amusing. The makeup of the paper is all right, and Grover C. Hall is one' of the South's outstanding editors. However, the cartoons which appear daily on the editorial page require an Einstein brain and about thirty minutes of valuable time, to ever even be figured out. They usually look like one of those puzzles where one is supposed to find the faces of six ladies and receive a Buick automobile. We have no grudge against "Spang" who draws them but we think that he could profitably follow the advice which the floral expert gave to the entrant in a flower show, "Arrange your flowers until you think they are as pretty as possible. Then take out half of them and throw them away." THE CRY OF "PLAY BALL" has already resounded to the four corners of the nation and America's greatest pastime—baseball— is under way. Completely stealing the first-of- the-season-spotlight was the trade of Dizzy Dean to the Chicago Cubs. Dean has already shown that though he is playing for a different ball club he has not lost his ability to talk long and loud about Jerome Dean and still say nothing. Unlikeable as he may be, "Diz" has added a lot of color to baseball. HUNTSVELLE, ALABAMA, is having its full share of labor and industrial troubles. There big textile mills at the Tennessee Valley city have threatened to move—lock, stock, and barrel—unless there is a settlement of labor disputes which have been harassing the mills for quite a while. Huntsville citizens are supposedly waging a terrific fight to retain the mills. Seven hundred fifty came to Montgomery in a motorcade to ask for State help in settling the capital-labor difficulties. However, when Gov. Graves addressed the group and asked for revelation of all facts and elimination of hatred and bitterness, he was greeted by a torrent of boos. Not being acquainted with all the facts, we are putting ourselves on the spot by taking a stand, but it does seem that a group which journeys halfway across the State to ask for help and then acts like school children when it is proferred, are not very earnest in their fight. ELECTION DAY is just around the corner for Alabama and the four-cornered race is growing hotter. With the great day only a couple of weeks off, some of the candidates are beginning to indulge in the age-old Bport of mud-slinging. Serious political observers are now cogitating over whether there will be a second primary or not, with the majority seeming to think that there will not. One of the candidates, D. Hardy Riddle, addressed a group in Langdon Hall last Saturday. Mr. Riddle attacked both Frank Dixon and Chauncey Sparks for their stands on the sales tax. Not more than once or twice did he even mention the name of Bob Goode, the fourth candidate in the race. Riddle presenting his record in the State Senate, asserted that the only way he could be defeated was in the first primary.

FRIDAY, APRIL 22, 1938 THE AUBURN PLAINSMAN PAGE THREE Auburn Track Team Opens Season With Georgia Saturday The Auburn Tigers are slated to inaugurate their 1938 track season of seven meets against their strongest opposition of the year, the Georgia Bulldogs, on Drake Field at Auburn Saturday afternoon at 2 o'clock. Georgia won the Southeastern Conference track affair last year, and from their performances to date they have another outstanding squad this year. Hunnicutt is a Georgia star in the sprints, Gillespie in the 440 and 880, Fred-rickson in the 880 and mile, Cate-in the hurdles, Lumpkin in the weights and Arnold in the high and broad jump. Lumpkin is captain- elect of the Bulldog's 1938 grid eleven. Although the Bengals have lost 13 of the 1937 performers who carried off third honors at the S. E. C. carnival, Coach Wilbur Hutsell predicts the Tigers will have more all around balance this season than they have had in two years. Most of the scoring this season will probably be recorded by the trio of Capt. Monsey Gres-ham, David Sprinkle and Speck Kelly. Coach Hutsell, whose track teams have lost only a half dozen dual affairs in 16 seasons, is expected to have the following men compete against Georgia tomorrow: Capt. Gresham in the 880 and mile; Sprinkle in the pole vault and broad jump; Percy South, Brooks Sellers and Chuck Morgan in the hurdles and high PLAINSMAN SPORTS Bill Troup, Editor Fenton Receives Position Here Jimmie Fenton, outstanding halfback on the 1937 Auburn football team, began work this week in the city as representative of the Royal Crown Bottling Co., Opelika.

Va.-(ACP)—Members of Chi Omicron Delta, a Davis and Elkins College local fraternity, can sympathize with the Alpha Delta Phi's of the University of Washington, who recently were forced to hold open house because the front door to their fraternity house was stolen, for the same thing happened to them over the week end. It all happened during the fraternity's second semester "Hell Week" when the activities were busy initiating a group of nineteen pledges. The recently constructed house, not yet ready for occupation, was the mecca for neophytes returning from midnight assignments. After leaving the house at 2:00 Saturday morning, the members returned early the same day to start the final initiation for the pledges. When they reached the house the front door, hung the day before, was missing. An investigation disclosed that admittance had been obtained by forcing a window after which the door was removed from the hinges and carried away. Members of the fraternity turned detectives and started a city wide search. When city and state police were called in and finger prints taken, members of a rival fraternity sheepishly returned the missing door. Said they, "Just a Hell Week joke" and the Chi Delts, glad to again have their missing door, were satisfied to take it as just that, a joke.

The students phoned the Czech-oslovakian embassy in Washington late one night and offered the services of the "Thomas Jefferson Brigade," to the Czechs for the purpose of "repelling the invasion of the Huns." They claimed to have raked 200 men and 60 horses. Needless to say, they had not. Next day they were confronted by a telegram signed by the Czech-oslovakian embassy, which read: "Offer greatly appreciated. Can you come here to discuss plans?" At first rather bewildered, the pair immediately went to work to raise their regiment, and had little difficulty in obtainng the signatures of nearly 150 other students, most of whom signed up as officers. The group has adopted as their uniform, a blazing red shirt, calculated to "enrage and dazzle Hitler." Patronize Plainsman advertisers.

Finally the old Indian was brought to the camp which had been established near the cave. He came rather unwillingly, but promised to do whatever he could. They took him into the cave, the old fellow becoming more and more uneasy as they progressed. At length they came to the carving of the snake on the wall. The old fellow could stand it no longer. "Let's get out of here," he yelled, and bolted for the entrance.. Money, threats—nothing could induce him to enter the cave a-gain. For one whole winter and the following summer, work went on. A huge ditch twenty feet wide, thirty-five feet deep, and a hundred feet long was dug to facilitate the work of washing dirt out of the cave. Mud by the ton was tossed out; the walls were sounded with crowbars for possible hollow spots, and a pair of metal-detecting needles was put to work. „ Around the campfire at night, stories were told to further the belief that something of value was contained in the cave. Someone recalled a significant episode of his younger days. It was a tale of an Indian who had asked for food at my grandmother's back door many years before. He was fed, and then was followed. He left the hpuse, went through the woods to the summit of the mountain, down across its side, through the ravine at the foot, and on to a point of vantage en the other side of the valley, where for a long time he stood staring across the floor of the Cove directly at the spot where the cave was later unearthed. Finally, evidently convinced that all was well, he went his way. A few years later, the same episode was repeated by another red man. Nothing outside of idle curiosity was thought of these occurrences, however, < until the story of the cave came to light. Then, the natural assumption was that unless something valuable were really concealed in the cave, the two men would not have troubled to return and ascertain whether all was undisturbed. During the time when excitement over the find was highest, other projects were tbegun by enthusiastic landowners who fancied they found signs of buried treasure in caves of their own. Their labor proved fruitless, however, and eventually, like the owners of the cavern originally discovered, they gave up the search. The Birmingham News sent a reporter, who returned to publish fanciful leads about "searches in the dim aisles of mountain caverns."

RESERVE YOURS NOW FOR $2.50. n New Course To Be Introduced Here A new course, "Science and Technology in the South," will be offered this summer by Prof. Jerome Kuderna here in the Summer Session School. The new reconstruction that is transforming the South today is proving of much interest to teachers. Their desire to .find out what is back of this reconstruction is responsible for the course's being offered, Prof. Kuderna explained. The changing curriculum demands that teachers parallel their steps with this course and view it from a new angle. Special reference is given the South in a non-technical study of science and technology. The realization that a planned development of ijs resources is essential to its prosperity is now essentially established. Alabama is near the bottom rank in its technoligical £(nd poverty status, yet is one of the three leading states In terms of wealth and natural resources. Consequently, this course is particularly a-dapted to enable the teacher to use the knowledge in improving the daily work in accordance with needs of today. The outward-reaching effects of the T. V. A., rural electrification, rural housing, the mechanical cotton picker and cotton chopper, natural resources, erosion, and other such interest points are covered in the course. School Board Is Entertained Prof. J. A. Parrish, principal of Lee County High School, entertained the local school board, coun ty officials, the mayor of Auburn, the city council, and city clerk at a luncheon Friday at the High School Home Economics Department. Under the direction of Miss Thelma Graves, vocational home economics teacher, and asissted by Carolyn Hendricks and Mary Alice Tucker, student teachers in vocational home economics, the following girls were in charge of the luncheon: Annie Louise Smith, Elaine Pittman, Jean Hawkins, Kathleen Johnson, Lily Bradley, Hilda Bishop, Sarah Bishop, Mel Atkins, and Mary Alice Holliday. These girls have been doing a home project in foods. The dining room was attractively decorated with spring flowers. The guests included: Supt. Martin C. \Vhitten, Dr. Byron Bruce, Mr. R. L. Betts, Mr. W. B. Cogdell, Mr. C. N. Parker, Dr. J. V. Brown, Dr. C. S. Yarbrough, Mr. L. Meadows, Prof. J. C. Grimes, Prof. H. M. Martin, Mr. E. F. Wright, Mr. W. L. Long, Mr. S. L. Toomer, Mr. T. A. Sims, Mr. J. T. Hudson, and Miss Ruth Mitcham. An important part of every girl's education should be training in the art of hospitality. Through projects of this kind an interest in the social life of the community is aroused within the girl, and she is led to assume a larger share of the recreation within the home, Miss Graves stated as explanation covering the student help with the luncheon. NOTICE There will be an important of the editorial staff Mbnday night at seven o'clock in the Plainsman office. founding information that a cold half-billion dollars in gold coin lay buried under the mountainside. The cave inside is similar to many of its type which honeycomb this particular section of the Applachian range. For the first twenty yards or so, one must stoop very low to enter it, but afterwards the roof is of ample height. Those who have penetrated far back tell tales of a huge room with stalagmites and stalactites, a roof that is forty or fifty feet high, and a beautiful waterfall of the little stream that flows through. It may still be entered, though the mountainside has fallen in and partially obscured its mouth. Whether the treasure is ever discovered or not, the cave will in time probably become a favorite spot for tourists who come to visit the park region which the T. V. A. is now talking of constructing along the margin of Sand Mountain. Polo Trip (Continued from page three) team plays Ohio State in Columbus, two games to be played Saturday and Sunday. Captain Jacoby announced that five men and possibly a sixth would make the trip. The five who are definitely to make the trip are: Hamil, Patterson, Schell, McNulty and Franke. All these men have seen service in all the games and are confident of their merits. Games were played with the University of Missouri in 1935, '36 and '37. Auburn has won four and lost three. Illinois was played in 1936 and '37, Auburn winning three and losing none. Ohio State has bee defeated three times and has won two games from Auburn since 1935. Two games this year were in Auburn's favor. One game has been lost to Iowa State, it being an indoor game played with three men. The game with Culver is expected to be an indoor affair. Eight Students To Attend Convention Auburn will be well represented at the Alabama Baptist Student Retreat, which will be held at Howard College, April 23-24. A delegation of eight students will leave Auburn Saturday morning and return Sunday night. This retreat will be in the form of a general business meeting. Representatives will attend from all of the Colleges of the State. Plans will be mapped and discussed, with special emphasis on plans for the next school year. The sessions of the meeting will be held in the Ruhama Baptist Church, of Birmingham, with LaFayette Walker, State B. S. U. president, in charge. Mr. William Hall Preston, the Southwide Baptist Student Secretary, will speak and hold special roundtable conferences. Prominent state workers who will attend are: Mr. Chester L. Quarles, Miss Martha Sconyers, Mrs. John Maguire, Miss Eva Berry, and Mr. Davis Cooper. The Auburn delegation, headed by Davis Woolley, Student Secretary, will be composed of Jack Finley, D. T.

NUMBER 58 ilection Results Show Turn-Over n Winners The final results of the Election Wednesday gave Edwin Godbold win over L. E. Foster for editor of the Plainsman with a count of 263 to 256. Jack Owens took the chairman of the Social Committee job with his 284 votes to Bunchey" Fowler's 233. Shelton Pinion took the Presidency of the Executive Cabinet with an overwhelming majority over Billy Mc- Gehee, the count being 304 to 213. As yet no one has contested this election, George Lehnert, chairman of the elections committee, itated. Profs. Charles Davis and John Cottier assisted Lehnert in conducting the polls. This is the first time that members of the faculty have sat upon the polls during a general campus election. However, due to the trouble after the last election and because this was a reelection, in part, it was decided by the committee to call in members of the faculty to assist with the issuance of ballots and the counting of them. A fairly heavy vote was recorded. It was strictly a Junior class election, though a great deal of interest had been conjured up over the campus concerning its ultimate outcome, it may be added. In the race for each position, there were but two contestants, thereby making it a mere speculation as to whom would come out in either of the races. :inal Dance Bid lards Are Out Plans are well under way for the final dances, Ed< Duncan, chairman of the Social Committee, announced today. Bid cards have been distributed to all fraternity houses on the campus and at many of the local stores. Chairman Duncan requests that bid cards be filled out as soon as possible and states that the date for taking them up will be announced in Wednesday's Plainsman. The bid cards are to be filled out in duplicate, one copy necessary for the chairman and the other for Miss Dobfos. Decorations for the final dances are let on contract. Many plans have been submitted and Duncan teays that from all indications the decorations will be better than any of the preceeding final dances. Posters have been placed in Montgomery, Birmingham, Atlanta, Columbus and other points in Georgia and Alabama. It is expected that a large number of out of town people and alumni will attend. There will be a short subject at the Tiger Theatre Sunday featuring Deacon Moore and his orchestra. This is the only short subject he has ever made and many students will be on hand to acquaint themselves with the Moore type of rhythm. Former Auburn Man Takes Honors At Northwestern EVANSTON, 111., Special—Walter Starr, Auburn, Alabama, was one of 11 men to receive wrestling numerals at Northwestern university this year. Starr, a junior, is a transfer student and was ineligible to compete on the varsity team this year. Thus, he had to participate on the freshman team. Coach Wes Brown, however, has taken full notice of the Auburn youth's a-bility and is counting upon him as a starter in the new 128 pound class next year. In the several freshmen-varsity matches, Starr was a consistent winner. In addition, he is probably the fastest man on the squad, and for his weight, one of the strongest. He is enrolled in the School of Commerce and will be graduated in June, 1939, giving him one year of competition. Over One Hundred Take Part In Floor Show At Convention Entertainment Over a hundred students, townspeople and children took part in the presentation of a floor show at the El Greco night club Wednesday night as a special entertainment feature for the Alabama Federation of Women's Clubs, which held a three-day convention here.

Brown, Robert Duncan, and Mrs. George Bayne, general arrangements. BANQUET SPEAKER History Of The Development Of Clinic Is Given By A Veterinary Student By H. B. TITLE Veterinary Student The clinic is without doubt one of the most important components of our veterinary school. The rapid growth of our clinic has been mainnly due to the tireless efforts of our immortal Dr. Cary. When Dr. Cary came to Auburn, there was no School of Veterinary Medicine. He was serving in the capacity of Professor of Veterinary Science in the Agricultural Department. Dr. Cary soon saw the need of a more comprehensive study of animal ailments, so he organized a sort of forum where he lectured on diseases of livestock to all students who were interested. Dr. Cary's fine lectures rapidly spread throughout the campus and soon a good number of students were attending his talks. Later, after the veterinary school was instituted, and Dr. Cary was appointed Dean, he continued these talks and it progressed into the fine clinic we have now. Dr. Cary had a very able man assisting him at all these lectures; none other than our present dean, Dr. McAdory. "Doctor Mac," as he is better known on the hill, took up the reins and he has done remarkably well in continuing the fine example set for him by his predecessor. Since assuming office, Dr. McAdory has made several needed additions to the veterinary school. Most recent of these has been the establishment of a small animal clinic. This new addition has been sorely needly by our rapidly expanding institution and we have Dr. McAdory to thank for its installation. Auburn's Veterinary School has often been called one of the most practical in the country. This has solely been made possible because of the opportunity the student has to apply the theories which he learns in the class-room. In the various textbooks, the authors frequently describe operations that are generally performed under i-deal conditions. The average practitioner in the field does not have the advantage of these conditions; the members of the faculty, therefore, stress many methods whereby the veterinarian could work under adverse conditions. To best carry out this policy, "Doctor Mac'r has chosen a faculty of experienced practitioners. Ever veterinarian on his staff has had many years of practice befoie entering the teaching profession and they frequently give a student expert advice which he could never learn from books. Auburn's fine clinic and excellent teaching staff have blended into a school of which we can well be proud, and its work has been made known throughout the country. NOTICE The Senior Stinkers will hold an important meeting tonight at 7:30 o'clock in Room 109, Ramsay HaU. All members, neophytes, and honorary members are urged to attend. Mr, Win. Hall Preston, Southern Baptist Student Secretary, will be the guest speaker at the Annual Baptist Student Union Banquet, Friday night. Baptist Banquet Is Held Tonight The Auburn Baptist Student Union will entertain with its Annual Banquet tonight at six thirty. The banquet will be held at the First Baptist Church. According to Davis Woolley, Student Secretary, an interesting program has been planned for the occasion. Mr. Wm. Hall Preston, Southern Baptist Student Secretary, of Nashville, Term., will be the guest speaker on the program. Special musical numbers will be heard during the evening. Movies of the Baptist Student Retreat at Ridgecrest N. C, last summer, will be shown immediately after the program. The theme for the decorations in the banquet hall will be "A Campfire Scene." Programs and place-cards will be in keeping with the theme. The B. S. U. Banquet is an annual affair at Auburn. All students, College faculty members, and others interested, besides the regular members of the Union, are extended a cordial invitation to attend. Delta Sigma Pi Initiates Six Walter Chandler, Charles Fin-cher, Hilding Homberg, John Wat-ters, Tom' Henley, and Marion Walker were formally initiated into the local chapter of Delta Sigma Pi last Tuesday evening. The initiation was held in the regular meeting room in Broun Hall, and was followed by a banquet at the Hitchcock Cafe. Delta Sigma Pi elects new members twice annually, the selections being made upon consideration vt scholarship and leadership of the students in the school of business administration, and upon their interest in the profession. Thirteen were initiated the first semester and six in the spring initiation. Presdent George Perry was master of ceremonies at the initiation banquet and introduced several Delta Sigma Pi alumni who welcomed the initiates into the fraternity, and'made short talks on what the business fraternity had meant to them. Jimmy Calloway and George Kenmore, tapped with this group, did not go through, but will be inducted at the fall initiation next year. Delta Sigma Pi will choose its new officers next week. The retiring officers are President George Perry, Vice-president Frank Connors, Secretary David Wittel, and Treasurer John Dub-berley. J. F. Segrest, J r . , Is 111 I n Panama Hospital J. F.

Waters Of Tennessee Spill On Ground Near Site Of Legendary Treasure By J. H. WHEELER Waters of the Tennessee River surging behind the big Tennessee Valley Authority dam at Gunters-ville, Alabama, will soon be spilling over the lowlands adjacent to a limestone cavern where a golden treasure of the Cherokee Indians is believed to lie hidden. The story of this legendary deposit dates back to the early days of white settlement in North Alabama, when a powerful tribe of the Cherokee Nation occupied the narrow slit in the side of Sand Mountain now known as Jones Cove. They were for the most part hunting and fishing people, but a few rude stone pestles and mortars still found occasionally in the cove is evidence that they were agriculturalists and millers, also. In 1837, friction had developed between these Indians and the whites pushing into their territory, and the United States gover-ernment removed them to a special reservation provided in Oklahoma. For the lands which they left behind, they were pail $5,000,000 in gold. No records of the disposition of this money are known. Hence the legend of Jones Cove, a picturesque valley between two wings of the long, low Appalachian plateau known as Sand Mountain. It is a wild place, heavily forested in pine, abounds in small game, and is mostly deserted, except for a few farmers near the river and now and then a solitary hunter or fisherman. Soon after the War Between the States, this Cove came into the possession of W. B. Wheeler, my grandfather, who, utilizing the power furnished by the rushing waters of Jones Creek, constructed a rude grist mill and ground corn for the surrounding territory. The business was profitable. But the isolated life was hard to endure, and finally, tired of the host of rattlesnakes and blackberry briars, he took his family to the top of Sand Mountain and left the Cove to the brambles. For many years Jones Cove lay undisturbed, except for occasional parties searching for valuable ginseng roots. Then, soon after my grandfather's death in 1920, a close relative chanced to learn of a map of a buried cave possessed by an Indian in Chattanooga, Tennessee, who claimed to be the descendant of a Cherokee princess. He investigated, and after a bit of persuasion obtained the whole story. "At a certain point in this cove," he was told, "you will find a large oak tree with a limb grafted back into the trunk so that it forms an arm pointing directly toward the mountainside. Go fifty feet in the direction the arm points, find the big rock with the map of the cave scratched on its side, roll it away, and dig straight down for sixty feet." Other direction and a wrinkled, faded map were forthcoming. A digging party was soon organized and set off for Jones Cove, armed with picks and shovels. They dug. Sixty feet down they found the opening to the cave, completely filled to a considerable distance with clay and rock which they succeeded in partially removing after weeks of labor. Then the chase became intense as various pointers turned up. One after another, signs which the Indian had forecast would be found were located. On the floor a large arrow made of five stones laid end to end and pointing directly into the cave was found. Beneath the head of the arrow was a large flat tablet of rock with a cross and the numeral "71" deeply scratched on it. Further into the cave, a rattlesnake was found imprinted on the wall. Other signs were located, but no treasure. The map showed the approximate location of the deposit, but a hundred years of dripping water had obscured any once-visible sealed pocket in the wall. Inside the cave, nothing was to be seen (Continued on page four) 'A' Club To Hold Dance Saturday The "A" Club dance Friday night will be one of the most elaborate dances ever staged by the club. Parts of the program will be broadcast over station WAPI, Birmingham, and WSFA, Montgomery, with Joe Patranca as mas-ta of ceremonies. Featured vocal artists on the program will be Albion Knight and Mary Bourg. Albion Knight is from Birmingham and sings with the Auburn Glee Club. Mary Bourg sings with the Auburn Knights orchestra and will make her swan song Friday night, leaving the Knights to fill another engagement. Johnny Davis, president of the "A" Club announces that sound absorbent material will be placed under the balcony of the gymnasium to give better acoustics for the broadcast. Davis states that the publicity of the college is uppermost in his mind in providing for broadcast of this dance. Debate Society Taps Five Men In Election The Alabama Polytechnic Institute chapter of Tau Kappa Alpha, national honorary forensic fraternity, tapped five men in its annual spring election. All of the men are upperclassmen and have taken an active part in varsity debate for at least one year, most of them for longer than that. William M. Boggs of Selma is a sophomore in Electrical Engineering. Larry Caruthers of Birmingham is a sophomore in Pre-Law. He is a member of the Sigma Chi Social fraternity. Tom Memory, a Sigma Chi from Blackshear, Ga., is a junior in Mechanical Engineering. Bernard Sykes, a sophomore in Pre-Law, is from Montgomery and is a member of Phi Delta Theta. He was a member of the team which represented Auburn in the Southern Debate Tournament this year. Guy Williams of New York, N. Y., is a junior in Pre-Law and a member of the SAE fraternity. Tau Kappa Alpha, one of the three national honorary forensic fraternities, maintains 94 chapters all over the United States. The Alabama Polytechnic Institute Chapter was established in 1936, receiving its charter in 1937. Since its organization if has steadily expanded its small original membership and established itself as one of the most worthwhile honor groups on the Auburn campus. Each year it sponsors two campus debate tournaments, one for freshmen and one for upperclassmen. Deacon Moore Is Real 'Hill Billy' By J. B. THOMAS Most of the radio stars who do "hill billy" characterizations on the air today are only fair imitations of the real thing. Not so with "Deacon" Moore, leader of the band which has been engaged for the final dances. • Carl "Deacon" Moore was born in Paragould, Arkansas, in 1902. Even today he gives 524 West Oak Street, Jonesboro, Arkansas, as his home address. The "Deacon" began drumming on his desk with pencils in school; soon he ordered his first set of drums from Sears, Roebuck, and Co. He organized his first band at the age of 12. Moore has, in addition to being widely known for his band, quite a reputation for his success as a composer. He has written such song hits as "St. James Infirmary," a swing sensation several seasons back. "Ding Dong Daddy" —remember Will Osborne's hick arrangement of that?—and "Bye Bye Blues". The latter tune was used as a theme for some years by Bert Lown and his orchestra. "Deacon" Moore and his orchestra have won admirers in the smartest hotels and clubs of Chicago, Denver, Cleveland, Cincinnati, Memphis, Boston, St. Paul, and other cities. Radio listeners everywhere are familiar with the quaint, droll humor of the "Deacon." Marge Hudson, the singing artist's model, is one of the featured vocalists. She is an exotic beauty of Spanish type, and her original style is presenting the newest hits is a genuine treat. Munson Compton, whose lyric tenor voice has, according to press reports, "quickened thousands of feminine hearts," is the other vocalist. "Deacon" himself comes in for an occasional vocal. Moore has been honored with commissions and badges from the police in nine cities. He owns his private plane' and is a licensed pilot at intervals in his career as a musician he has been a racing driver, and, of all things, a patent medicine salesman. PAGE TWO THE AUBURN PLAINSMAN FRIDAY, APRIL 22, 1938 Plainsman Editorials SOMETHING TO WRITE THE FOLKS BACK HOME ABOUT It is an opportune time to speak of Mother's and Dad's Day. Sunday, May 1, has been set aside on the Auburn campus for the student's parents to visit and be entertained on our campus. At this immediate time, names and addresses are being gotten from fraternity and non-fraternity students. With the lists completed as much as possible, invitations will be sent out to the non-fraternity and fraternity group's parents by the Executive Cabinet and Interfraternity Council respectively. Of course, full cooperation will be a necessary constituent in this procedure. But, as is the usual case, each student writes his parents at least every week or two. In the next letter that the student writes it would serve admirable as a news item to mention the Parent's Day which is to be had here at Auburn on the first Sunday in May and urge the parents to come up then. It would be of little trouble and would certainly be one of the most effective methods that could be used. Now don't let this matter of each student's writing home about the Parent's Day confuse anyone. The Interfraternity Council and the Executive Cabinet are 0 going to send out as full a list of formal invitations as will be possible from the lists that will be compiled of names and addresses. But should some be overlooked the matter could still be attended to by the personal letter from the. individual student. Too, it would serve as added incentive to their coming up should the personal letter from the children be received by them and urging them that they come up. A full and varied day of interesting entertainment will be provided on that day, a kind of entertainment that is deemed to suit the different tastes of parents. Should the project be looked at from a mercenary angle (we won't say school angle), the dividends forthcoming will be well worth any trouble we might conjure up in our minds about the having of such a "day". We say there will be definite dividends to come from it because it will be wholesome publicity for the college and its campus affairs. It will serve to point attention to Auburn as being a wide-awake and conscientious school. Get busy and invite your parents to come up here on May 1 to the Mother's and Dad's Day.

THE PAPER HAS CULTIVATED A TASTE FOR BILGE WATER A question is running the rounds of the campus. It is a simple question and when we say simple, we mean "simple". The question is "How much did the Spades pay Workman to back down?" We, of the Plainsman, have been insulted before, in fact, we have received nothing but "hell" the whole year, so we have learned to expect such bilge water from the students. The Plainsman has attempted to sponsor many worthwhile projects and measures in its editorial policy this year. Every move toward reform has met with opposition. Whenever it was possible we have over- Tun the opposition, but there have been instances where our narrowminded opposition has been to powerful. Projects have been dropped. We have worked conscientiously for a better Auburn. We have proposed nothing that we did not feel was for the good of the school and the students. Cooperation with the paper on its projects has been something desired but always lacking. We have been alone in everything we have attempted. At the end of the year we shall be condemned for not having accomplished a great deal. We shall take that along with all the other untoward comment, but we shall know that it was not our fault that nothing was accomplished. The campus situation at Auburn is far from ideal. While we know that we cannot reach the ideal situation, we know that steps toward such can be made. That is the reason we attempted a clean-up of campus politics. It was pointed out to us that the Spades were in back of some dirty politics. Intagible proof was given to back up the accusations, but definite proof was lacking. We were not paid to publish the articles nor the retraction. We were seeking the right when we published them and doing right when we retracted them. We are independent of all ties and what we do you may attribute to the machinations of our own minds. Bring on your bilge water . . . we have cultivated a taste for it! PLAINSMAN FORUM - Voice of the Students After the Wednesday election completely reversed the returns of the former election, it seems that another should be held wherein the winner of the best-two-out-of-three is proclaimed the winner. The numbers presented at the El Greco Club Wednesday night proved that Auburn has some real talent. There is no reason that we should not have an annual musical variety show here as is held on many other campuses in the country. After nine more issues you may tell us how bad the paper was for the entire year. It won't be long before Auburn will be the "Convention City" instead of the "Loveliest Village." We advocate the installation of a bell on the traffic light so we won't get a crick in our necks watching it change colors. There are days and days and queens and queens. The Senior Stinkers won't have a day or a queen, but we'll wager that they certainly put in an appearance. After graduation, a bunch of young men and women will go out to see what life is really like. A surprise is in store for those among them who have been "college hot." Finally a court was relinquished and the duo hastened to occupy it. But no sooner had they begun to play than another pair approached and informed them they had come to take over the court for varsity practice. Said one of the disgruntled pair: "We're out for the varsity too. Would you mind waiting .until we finish?" There is a new ice cream eating champ at Harvard. He clinched the title for the championship by putting away 24 plates—four vanilla, 18 chocolate and a sundae of particularly venomous appearance. The previous titleholder, a freshman, yielded to fatigue (or frigidity) at 19 plates. Editor The Plainsman Dear sir: Tiska, tiska, to one Delanor and one Jack Steppe. Aside from the unimportant detail that y.ou were both slightly incoherent and illogical in your criticism of my( recent letter allow me to inform you that you are now dubbed full-fledged Protectors in the overcrowded order of Homogeneity. Be most careful brother Steppe or your knees'll be getting calloused. If you will tell me when your birthday is I will amuse myself till then making a couple of sheep-lined knee-pads for your particular, special, quite appropriate pleasure and protection. Delanor is a rat so I won't bear down as hard as his communication warrants. He does not know me or anything about me yet he intimates that I am no credit to A. P. I., a brainless loafer, and airs his revolutionizing views on the subject of the "no-cut system" with the terrific let-down, "That this institution should do all it can to guide the students in the right path—" Saying of course, as all mental indigents must, that the only right is that as he sees it, and to top the matter off ends with the magnificenUy hypothecated, stupendously stupid syllogism that because I dislike a single characteristic of Auburn the entire school and I are out of tune, and therefore I should return whence I came. Allow me to curse them both, Steppe and Delanor, with my super-curse, and I will have had my say. "May you live to be as pld as Methuselah, as wise as Nietzsche, and your wife bear legitimate quintuplets every year!" Yours, One Person Sixteen Ems BY SPACER OUTER Spacer Outer Gives You "This week-end's Me-An'-U" It's rumored the Lambda Chi's Spring Festival this weekend will be enhanced with the "pink ladies" floating around. It's also rumored Maxie Welden will have his hands full of imported cream while the local job sours. Luck to U Maxie. It's two to one that Jace Green will be rushing to the Beauty Shop for a new perma-' nent before the coming affair. And here's hoping that Tommy Hagan's ex. flames from Montgomery and Atlanta won't make Cris leave for the hometown. And Now We Present A Little Inside Dope "Here and There" "Doc" Hyde is a wise cracker from way back yonder. The jokes make the man. Miss Ellene Nearing was graciously escorted by the Pi K A's this past week-end while Panell was out of town. "Olive Oyl" Wright and Mr. Hitchcock are taking in Auburn's "Broadway" once again. Threats were made by Sterling Graydon to yours truly, Spacer Outer, about his private affairs appearing in print. We wonder if he has any private affairs to air. Volunteered information will be graciously accepted. Mr. Dickie Allen is on his ear about what was said concerning his two-timing last week in this column, so please disregard that which we said. Still . . . we would like to remark that Auburn's Grille is a fine place to sneak in and get a tooth pick from the cute little cashering Vivian Prior. Collegiate Review (By Associated Collegiate Press) Robert Frost, beloved Harvard University poet-teacher, has a reputation for great teaching and great writing. To this leader of students, Kenneth Leslie recently wrote a poem, had it printed on the New York Times' editorial page. A portion of "Cobweb College", -written for Robert Frost, follows: A batch of freshmen came to Cobweb College; the Spider looked them over, frowned and said "These boys are ghosts of boys, cracked wide with knowledge their dreams dried out and left the dreamers dead. There's not a meal among them, no illusion to sharpen up my tooth on, no romance for me to ridicule to red confusion, no creed on which to slake my poison lance. I've drawn their blood too many generations and spoiled the breed. Their fathers, when I wrapped them in causal web and silken strong equations, would lunge and writhe, grimacing when I snapped them with categoried claws. These modern schools condition them until they yearn to yield; their wills are like the blown pigskin that drools November muck around a soggy field. They murmur, 'Say, Professor, skip the prodding, just dish it out, the ifs, the ands; the buts.' who'd question fifty million miles of wadding engendered through the ages in your guts?

Talk About The Town BY JACK STEPPE — R. L. MUNDHENK In the morning mail we find another communication from that super being, that super-curser, "One Person." Needless to say, his logic has us quite breathless, bowed down, and exhausted. We're down . . . we're almost out. But may we point out that lack of logic is not confined to Delanor? In "One Person's" first letter he objected to the cut rule "as an insult to the intelligence of the students." Yet he closed by proving the stupidity of the masses. Consistency, where art thou? However, we're glad to see "One Person" in print. For in America we're safe from fools like him. In dictatorial countries he'd be thrown into prison and made a martyr— for daring to think. In America he is allowed to publish his radical prattle, his immature mouthing of words. His vague statements are exposed to the hearty laughter of the masses he so despises. Vague, did we say? Evidence of the latter lies in reading and trying to understand parts of his first letter. CHANGE OF HEART—Workman's abject retraction and apology to Spades.

One Person News And Views BY JOHN GODBOLD LITTLE HINDSIGHT and les9 foresight are inherent characteristics of those who bitterly oppose President Roosevelt's scheme to relieve the "recession." In 1932 business was at about the lowest ebb possible. FDR pulled it out by putting the full force of the government behind recovery. After the depression was over—if it ever was—business began to object to paying the debts incurred in saving its own life. A brief period of overproduction came and then the recession, which was no surprise, already having been predicted by economists. And now business wants the government to rush to its rescue again but without expending any money in doing so. Roosevelt is a humanitarian statesman, gifted with great intelligence and ability, and years in advance in his thinking, but he cannot aid business conditions without paying out money. Unless business, whether big or little, appreciates that fact, our "recession" may become in truth a "depression." THE MONTGOMERY ADVERTISER is a fine newspaper. When its editorialists choose to be serious, they can turn out good work. When they choose to be frivolous, the result is always uproariously amusing. The makeup of the paper is all right, and Grover C. Hall is one' of the South's outstanding editors. However, the cartoons which appear daily on the editorial page require an Einstein brain and about thirty minutes of valuable time, to ever even be figured out. They usually look like one of those puzzles where one is supposed to find the faces of six ladies and receive a Buick automobile. We have no grudge against "Spang" who draws them but we think that he could profitably follow the advice which the floral expert gave to the entrant in a flower show, "Arrange your flowers until you think they are as pretty as possible. Then take out half of them and throw them away." THE CRY OF "PLAY BALL" has already resounded to the four corners of the nation and America's greatest pastime—baseball— is under way. Completely stealing the first-of- the-season-spotlight was the trade of Dizzy Dean to the Chicago Cubs. Dean has already shown that though he is playing for a different ball club he has not lost his ability to talk long and loud about Jerome Dean and still say nothing. Unlikeable as he may be, "Diz" has added a lot of color to baseball. HUNTSVELLE, ALABAMA, is having its full share of labor and industrial troubles. There big textile mills at the Tennessee Valley city have threatened to move—lock, stock, and barrel—unless there is a settlement of labor disputes which have been harassing the mills for quite a while. Huntsville citizens are supposedly waging a terrific fight to retain the mills. Seven hundred fifty came to Montgomery in a motorcade to ask for State help in settling the capital-labor difficulties. However, when Gov. Graves addressed the group and asked for revelation of all facts and elimination of hatred and bitterness, he was greeted by a torrent of boos. Not being acquainted with all the facts, we are putting ourselves on the spot by taking a stand, but it does seem that a group which journeys halfway across the State to ask for help and then acts like school children when it is proferred, are not very earnest in their fight. ELECTION DAY is just around the corner for Alabama and the four-cornered race is growing hotter. With the great day only a couple of weeks off, some of the candidates are beginning to indulge in the age-old Bport of mud-slinging. Serious political observers are now cogitating over whether there will be a second primary or not, with the majority seeming to think that there will not. One of the candidates, D. Hardy Riddle, addressed a group in Langdon Hall last Saturday. Mr. Riddle attacked both Frank Dixon and Chauncey Sparks for their stands on the sales tax. Not more than once or twice did he even mention the name of Bob Goode, the fourth candidate in the race. Riddle presenting his record in the State Senate, asserted that the only way he could be defeated was in the first primary.

FRIDAY, APRIL 22, 1938 THE AUBURN PLAINSMAN PAGE THREE Auburn Track Team Opens Season With Georgia Saturday The Auburn Tigers are slated to inaugurate their 1938 track season of seven meets against their strongest opposition of the year, the Georgia Bulldogs, on Drake Field at Auburn Saturday afternoon at 2 o'clock. Georgia won the Southeastern Conference track affair last year, and from their performances to date they have another outstanding squad this year. Hunnicutt is a Georgia star in the sprints, Gillespie in the 440 and 880, Fred-rickson in the 880 and mile, Cate-in the hurdles, Lumpkin in the weights and Arnold in the high and broad jump. Lumpkin is captain- elect of the Bulldog's 1938 grid eleven. Although the Bengals have lost 13 of the 1937 performers who carried off third honors at the S. E. C. carnival, Coach Wilbur Hutsell predicts the Tigers will have more all around balance this season than they have had in two years. Most of the scoring this season will probably be recorded by the trio of Capt. Monsey Gres-ham, David Sprinkle and Speck Kelly. Coach Hutsell, whose track teams have lost only a half dozen dual affairs in 16 seasons, is expected to have the following men compete against Georgia tomorrow: Capt. Gresham in the 880 and mile; Sprinkle in the pole vault and broad jump; Percy South, Brooks Sellers and Chuck Morgan in the hurdles and high PLAINSMAN SPORTS Bill Troup, Editor Fenton Receives Position Here Jimmie Fenton, outstanding halfback on the 1937 Auburn football team, began work this week in the city as representative of the Royal Crown Bottling Co., Opelika.

Va.-(ACP)—Members of Chi Omicron Delta, a Davis and Elkins College local fraternity, can sympathize with the Alpha Delta Phi's of the University of Washington, who recently were forced to hold open house because the front door to their fraternity house was stolen, for the same thing happened to them over the week end. It all happened during the fraternity's second semester "Hell Week" when the activities were busy initiating a group of nineteen pledges. The recently constructed house, not yet ready for occupation, was the mecca for neophytes returning from midnight assignments. After leaving the house at 2:00 Saturday morning, the members returned early the same day to start the final initiation for the pledges. When they reached the house the front door, hung the day before, was missing. An investigation disclosed that admittance had been obtained by forcing a window after which the door was removed from the hinges and carried away. Members of the fraternity turned detectives and started a city wide search. When city and state police were called in and finger prints taken, members of a rival fraternity sheepishly returned the missing door. Said they, "Just a Hell Week joke" and the Chi Delts, glad to again have their missing door, were satisfied to take it as just that, a joke.

The students phoned the Czech-oslovakian embassy in Washington late one night and offered the services of the "Thomas Jefferson Brigade," to the Czechs for the purpose of "repelling the invasion of the Huns." They claimed to have raked 200 men and 60 horses. Needless to say, they had not. Next day they were confronted by a telegram signed by the Czech-oslovakian embassy, which read: "Offer greatly appreciated. Can you come here to discuss plans?" At first rather bewildered, the pair immediately went to work to raise their regiment, and had little difficulty in obtainng the signatures of nearly 150 other students, most of whom signed up as officers. The group has adopted as their uniform, a blazing red shirt, calculated to "enrage and dazzle Hitler." Patronize Plainsman advertisers.

Finally the old Indian was brought to the camp which had been established near the cave. He came rather unwillingly, but promised to do whatever he could. They took him into the cave, the old fellow becoming more and more uneasy as they progressed. At length they came to the carving of the snake on the wall. The old fellow could stand it no longer. "Let's get out of here," he yelled, and bolted for the entrance.. Money, threats—nothing could induce him to enter the cave a-gain. For one whole winter and the following summer, work went on. A huge ditch twenty feet wide, thirty-five feet deep, and a hundred feet long was dug to facilitate the work of washing dirt out of the cave. Mud by the ton was tossed out; the walls were sounded with crowbars for possible hollow spots, and a pair of metal-detecting needles was put to work. „ Around the campfire at night, stories were told to further the belief that something of value was contained in the cave. Someone recalled a significant episode of his younger days. It was a tale of an Indian who had asked for food at my grandmother's back door many years before. He was fed, and then was followed. He left the hpuse, went through the woods to the summit of the mountain, down across its side, through the ravine at the foot, and on to a point of vantage en the other side of the valley, where for a long time he stood staring across the floor of the Cove directly at the spot where the cave was later unearthed. Finally, evidently convinced that all was well, he went his way. A few years later, the same episode was repeated by another red man. Nothing outside of idle curiosity was thought of these occurrences, however, < until the story of the cave came to light. Then, the natural assumption was that unless something valuable were really concealed in the cave, the two men would not have troubled to return and ascertain whether all was undisturbed. During the time when excitement over the find was highest, other projects were tbegun by enthusiastic landowners who fancied they found signs of buried treasure in caves of their own. Their labor proved fruitless, however, and eventually, like the owners of the cavern originally discovered, they gave up the search. The Birmingham News sent a reporter, who returned to publish fanciful leads about "searches in the dim aisles of mountain caverns."

RESERVE YOURS NOW FOR $2.50. n New Course To Be Introduced Here A new course, "Science and Technology in the South," will be offered this summer by Prof. Jerome Kuderna here in the Summer Session School. The new reconstruction that is transforming the South today is proving of much interest to teachers. Their desire to .find out what is back of this reconstruction is responsible for the course's being offered, Prof. Kuderna explained. The changing curriculum demands that teachers parallel their steps with this course and view it from a new angle. Special reference is given the South in a non-technical study of science and technology. The realization that a planned development of ijs resources is essential to its prosperity is now essentially established. Alabama is near the bottom rank in its technoligical £(nd poverty status, yet is one of the three leading states In terms of wealth and natural resources. Consequently, this course is particularly a-dapted to enable the teacher to use the knowledge in improving the daily work in accordance with needs of today. The outward-reaching effects of the T. V. A., rural electrification, rural housing, the mechanical cotton picker and cotton chopper, natural resources, erosion, and other such interest points are covered in the course. School Board Is Entertained Prof. J. A. Parrish, principal of Lee County High School, entertained the local school board, coun ty officials, the mayor of Auburn, the city council, and city clerk at a luncheon Friday at the High School Home Economics Department. Under the direction of Miss Thelma Graves, vocational home economics teacher, and asissted by Carolyn Hendricks and Mary Alice Tucker, student teachers in vocational home economics, the following girls were in charge of the luncheon: Annie Louise Smith, Elaine Pittman, Jean Hawkins, Kathleen Johnson, Lily Bradley, Hilda Bishop, Sarah Bishop, Mel Atkins, and Mary Alice Holliday. These girls have been doing a home project in foods. The dining room was attractively decorated with spring flowers. The guests included: Supt. Martin C. \Vhitten, Dr. Byron Bruce, Mr. R. L. Betts, Mr. W. B. Cogdell, Mr. C. N. Parker, Dr. J. V. Brown, Dr. C. S. Yarbrough, Mr. L. Meadows, Prof. J. C. Grimes, Prof. H. M. Martin, Mr. E. F. Wright, Mr. W. L. Long, Mr. S. L. Toomer, Mr. T. A. Sims, Mr. J. T. Hudson, and Miss Ruth Mitcham. An important part of every girl's education should be training in the art of hospitality. Through projects of this kind an interest in the social life of the community is aroused within the girl, and she is led to assume a larger share of the recreation within the home, Miss Graves stated as explanation covering the student help with the luncheon. NOTICE There will be an important of the editorial staff Mbnday night at seven o'clock in the Plainsman office. founding information that a cold half-billion dollars in gold coin lay buried under the mountainside. The cave inside is similar to many of its type which honeycomb this particular section of the Applachian range. For the first twenty yards or so, one must stoop very low to enter it, but afterwards the roof is of ample height. Those who have penetrated far back tell tales of a huge room with stalagmites and stalactites, a roof that is forty or fifty feet high, and a beautiful waterfall of the little stream that flows through. It may still be entered, though the mountainside has fallen in and partially obscured its mouth. Whether the treasure is ever discovered or not, the cave will in time probably become a favorite spot for tourists who come to visit the park region which the T. V. A. is now talking of constructing along the margin of Sand Mountain. Polo Trip (Continued from page three) team plays Ohio State in Columbus, two games to be played Saturday and Sunday. Captain Jacoby announced that five men and possibly a sixth would make the trip. The five who are definitely to make the trip are: Hamil, Patterson, Schell, McNulty and Franke. All these men have seen service in all the games and are confident of their merits. Games were played with the University of Missouri in 1935, '36 and '37. Auburn has won four and lost three. Illinois was played in 1936 and '37, Auburn winning three and losing none. Ohio State has bee defeated three times and has won two games from Auburn since 1935. Two games this year were in Auburn's favor. One game has been lost to Iowa State, it being an indoor game played with three men. The game with Culver is expected to be an indoor affair. Eight Students To Attend Convention Auburn will be well represented at the Alabama Baptist Student Retreat, which will be held at Howard College, April 23-24. A delegation of eight students will leave Auburn Saturday morning and return Sunday night. This retreat will be in the form of a general business meeting. Representatives will attend from all of the Colleges of the State. Plans will be mapped and discussed, with special emphasis on plans for the next school year. The sessions of the meeting will be held in the Ruhama Baptist Church, of Birmingham, with LaFayette Walker, State B. S. U. president, in charge.
