VOL. LXII AUBURN, ALABAMA, FRIDAY, SEPTEMBER 9, 1938 NO. 2
Washington Approval Is Last Step To
Assure Auburn Of Huge PWA Grant
Grant Already Approved
By Regional Office;
Washington OK Needed
Just one more step is necessary
to assure the huge PWA grant
to be used for expanding facilities
at Alabama Polytechnic Institute.
In what many considered the cru­cial
test, the Alabama Supreme
Court Tuesday upheld the right
of state colleges to pledge student
fees and rentals toward retire­ment
of federal loans for build­ing.
The proposed building program,
which now awaits the final okeh
of PWA officials in Washington,
includes the following eight units
which would represent a total
cbst of $1,408,400: Women's Dorm­itory
Group, $560,000; Athletic
Stadium and Physical Training
Building, $160,000; College Infir­mary
and Health Center, $100,-
000; addition to the present lib­rary,
$100,000; a new classroom
building, $200,000; Farm Engi­neering
Building, $100,000; veteri­nary
classroom and laboratory
building, $150,000; and a new
president's home, $38,400.
The Women's Dormitory Group
would include the erection of four
dormitories and a dining room to
the rear of what is now the Pres­ident's
Mansion. The plan would
make use of the Mansion as an of­fice
building and social center for
the 400 women students who
would live and take their meals
in the new group.
The four dormitories and the
dining room would form a quad­rangle
extending with what is
now the President's Mansion on
the north, the dining room across
from Bullard Field on the south,
and two dormitories each along
the west and east sides.
Each of the dormitories would
accommodate 100 women stu­dents
and the various buildings
would be joined with covered
walks. The plan calls for sorority
and recreation rooms in the base­ments
of the dormitories. In the
center of the quadrangle would
be a landscaped court.
The proposed plan calls for the
erection of a new President's Man­sion
on Mell street on the old Dug-gar
property south of the Ani­mal
Husbandry Building.
Addition to the library contem­plate
east and west wings which
practically double the present
main library facilities. Included
in the addition would be a large
reading room facing the east
wing and additional stack space in
the west wing.
The stadium unit calls for the
erection of seats on the west side
for approximately 7,500 specta-trs
and a physical training build­ing,
which, among other facilities,
would include offices for coaches
and dressing rooms and storage
space for athletic equipment.
The two-story College Infir­mary
and Health Center would
house the office of the college sur­geon,
nurses' quarters, and an ad­equate
number of private rooms
and ward sections for students.
Suggested location of this unit is
west of the Textile Engineering
Building on Magnolia Avenue.
The new classroom building,
which would probably be erected
on Thach Avenue, is proposed as
a two-story structure which would
serve several college divisions
which are in need of additional
classroom and laboratory space.
The proposed Farm Engineering
Building would replace the pres­ent
inadequate wooden structure
just south of Duncan Hall. This
structure would be of two stories
and would house the facilities for
both teaching and extension in
farm engineerin.
The proposed veterinary class­room
and laboratory building, the
main part of which would be two
stories, would house the small an­imal
clinic in one wing and the
clinic for large animals in the
other. Its proposed location is on
Thach Avenue near some of the
present structures on Vet Hill. In
the main part of the building
would be offices for the staff.

Auburn Players To
Present 'Behold
This Dreamer'
By J. H. Wheeler
Newcomers held the center of
the stage last night as a casting
board of three selected ten Auburn
Players to presen the four-act
Broadway comedy success, "Be­hold
this Dreamer." Fifty stu­dents
saw the tryout session at
the Y-Hut.
Blonde Lillian Jane Smith, jun­ior
in science and literature, was
picked for the major role of Clara
Turner, prosaic, disagreeable
wife of Charley, the artistic
"dreamer" of the play. Miss
Smith, who attended Judson and
Howard before transferring to
Auburn, held parts in several
plays at the former institution.
Bob Foster, freshman from Day­ton,
Ohio, was given the minor
but important part of Harris, an
insurance salesman, after a com­mendable
tryout effort for the
leading role of Charley. Foster,
an S. P. E. pledge, played in "A
Kiss for Cinderella" and "Jane
Eyre" during his high school days
at Fairview High in Dayton.
Sophomore K. T. Millsap makes
his first appearance as a Player
in the role of Dr. Ephraim Tan-neyday,
pompous "Chairman of
the Intelligentsia" in the lunatic
asylum where "dreamer" Charley
is confined. Millsap is a student
in the School of Chemistry.
R. D. Hall, sophomore from At­lanta,
was cast as Harold Bless­ings,
One by One, successful fath­er
of eight successful children. He
is a member of Kappa Sigma fra­ternity.
Arthur Elsberry received the
leading part of Charley. During
the last year, he has appeared in
many productions of the Players,
and in 1936-37 was the recipient
of the cup given annuallly for the
best dramatic performance.
Mary Carmack, another veteran
of the Players, will play Melodie,
lunatic artist's model who "weeps
when it rains," and follows a
clothing policy of "all or nothing."
W. D. (Patty) Hall, wiU once
more be a leading attraction, as
Strickler, ponderous father of
Clara Turner. Hall, a textile en­gineering
senior from Atlanta, is
remembered for his last year's
performances of self-made Justin
Stock in "Oliver Oliver" and fin­ancier
Beton in "The Forest."
Ruth Riddle, a senior in science
and literature, will play Constance,
ycung, modern librarian. Miss
Riddle appeared as the Vizier in
the Arabian Nights Spring Festi­val
last year.
Warren Bridges, sophomore in
chemistry, was cast as the tall,
kindly lunatic, D. D. D. Bridges
appeared for the Players last se­mester
as Farrell, slight, eccen­tric
"yes man" of the Galsworthy
drama, "The Forest."
W. L. Ellner, Mobile, was cast
as Piggies, irascible asylum keep­er.
"Behold this Dreamer," by Ful­ton
Oursler and Aubrey Kennedy,
is the satirical story of a dreamer
whose thoughts soar far above the
commonplaces of his wife and rel­atives.
They decide he is crazy
and place him in a private sani­tarium.
While he is confined in
the "nuthouse," many screaming­ly
funny situations take place.
Through the play, the dialogue is
a succession of brilliant quips. It
is in striking contrast to the drab,
gloomy tragedy "Hedda Gabler,"
which was the Players' first pro­duction
last year.
Rehearsals will begin tonight,
when the entire cast assembles
at the Y-Hut to read the play.
Casting for "Behold this Dream­er"
was done by Director Telfair
Peet, Mrs. Peet, and Mrs. Edward
E. Cureton. Dawson Mullen served
as acting president of the Players
in the absence of an elected offi­cer.

'A' Club To Have
Dance Saturday
Auburn men wil have the op­portunity
of meeting some of the
185 girls in town when the "A"
Club presents the first dance of
the school year at the WPA Hall
next Saturday night. Since the
co-ed enrollment for the 1938-39
session is larger than ever before,
it is expected that numbers of
the new girls as well as nearly all
the old ones will be on hand at 9
o'clock when the Auburn Knights
swing into their opening number
of the night and of the dance sea­son.
At noon Friday registration fig­ures
indicated that among the stu­dents
already registered were 119
new freshmen girls, 52 girls trans­ferring
from other colleges, and
about 10 former girl students re­turning
to Auburn after being out
of school for a time. The 56 trans­fer
girls represent 23 colleges: St.
Petersburg Junior College, Arling­ton
Hall, Judson, Howard, Bre­nau,
University of Alabama, Uni­versity
of Hawaii, Stetson, Monte-vallo,
Textile Industrial Institute,
Winthrop, Shorter, Ward-Belmont,
Cornell, Jacksonville State Teach­ers
College, Florida State College
for Women, Randolph-Macon,
Winston-Salem, Huntingdon, L. S.
U., Georgia Southern College,
Mundelein, and Pearl River Jun­ior
College.
Besides the new and old co-eds
another feature attraction of the
dance will be the music of the
new Auburn Knights, playing at
an Auburn dance for the first
time since their reorganization of
the past summer. Elsewhere in
this issue of the Plainsman is an
article concerning the new per­sonnel
of the Knights.
The dance will begin promptly
at 9 c'clock. Admission is 75 cents.
Cureton's Mother Dies
In California
Mrs. Alva S. Cureton, mother of
Dr. Edward E. Cureton, Auburn
professor of Education, died Mon­day
at her home in San Jose, Cal.
Dr. Cureton went to California
last week by plane when her con­dition
became critical.
NOTICE
Freshmen students not in school
last year, and transfer students
from other institutions who have
not yet had photographs taken re­port
to the engineering library,
Ramsay Hall, Saturday afternicon,
Sept. 10.
This will be the last time pho­tographs
for athletic ticket books
will be taken at the expense of
the college. After this week stu­dents
who have not had photo­graphs
taken will be required to
do so at their own expense.
Students Must
Now Register
Motor Vehicles
All students registered in
school who keep motor vehicles
of any type for their own use
will be required to register
them with the college this year.
This applies to all types of mot­or
vehicles, including automo­biles,
motorcycles, and scoot­er
cycles.
Students maintaining ve­hicles
here for their own use
should call by the office of the
Executive Secretary, first floor,
main building, and fill out the
necessary blanks. The fee will
be 50 cents to cover the cost
of the tag and clerical expen­ses.
Administrative officials point
out that the registering of stu­dent
motor vehicles is being
dene solely for the protection
of students. It is hoped that by
requesting information regard­ing
insurance or vehicles that
students will be made to rea­lize
the desirability of insur­ance
and the responsiblity of
drivers of motor vehicles' in
case of accidents.
As soon as it can be com­piled
and printed, a booklet
giving Alabama traffic laws
regulating the driving of motor
vehicles will be distributed to
students registering vehicles.
When students apply for the
permit, they should be prepar­ed
to supply the following in­formation:
name, local address,
name and address of parent or
guardian, home address, make
and type of vehicle, state license
number for 1937-38, drivers li­cense
number for 1937-38, name
of insurance company, and
amount of insurance carried.
Later in the year students
will be asked for the state li­cense
number for 1938-39 and
the drivers license number for
the same year.

Cardinal Key Gives Informal
Reception For Co-Eds
An informal reception was giv­en
freshmen and transfer women
students Thursday afternoon at
the Recreation Hall. Between the
hours of 4:30 and 6:00 o'clock,
about 250 new co-eds were wel­comed
by Miss Zoe Dobbs, Dean
of Women. They were later enter­tained
with a floor show featur­ing
Doris Greene and Tony Cor-tino
in a rhumba, music being fur­nished
throughout by the Auburn
Knights.
The reception, sponsored by Car­dinal
Key, was the first in a series
of social gatherings for women
tentatively scheduled for the en
suing school year, the purpose of
which will be to encourage friend
liness and to create mutual in
terests among women students.
Registrar Asks
Local Addresses
Of Students
The Registrar's Office requests
that the students whose names ap­pear
in the following list file at
once their local addresses and
telephone numbers in that office.
It is necessary that the Regis­trar's
Office and the administra­tion
be able at any time to get
in touch with all students regis­tered
in college. Until publication
of the student directory the Reg­istrar's
Office is the only source
of information as to students ad­dresses;
consequently, all long
distance telephone messages, many
local telephone calls, and numbers
of letters for students come
through that office every day. In
order that contact be established
with the students for whom these
communications are intended it is
imperative that the Auburn ad­dresses
of all students be filed
with the Registrar's Office.
The list, in alphabetical order,
is as follows:
Abernathy, William Hubert; Ad­ams,

Knights Now In
Auburn After
Summer's Tour
1 The Auburn Knights have re­turned
from their summer engage­ment
at the popular resorts along
the South Carolina coast. The band
this year is smaller than in the
past, but promises to be one of the
most versatile outfits in the his­tory
of the organization.
With the loss of Jerry Yelver-ton,
John Ivey, Macon Ellis, Frank
Speight, Van Hodges, and Hiid-ing
Holmberg, the band has had to
undergo a change in style as well
as personnel. The present combi­nation
includes: Robin Russell,
piano and director; "Chick" Hat­cher,
Bobby Hill, Jack Hutchin­son,
brass; Joe Mitchell, Bobby
Adair, saxaphones; Ed Wads-worth,
violin; Paul Marez, drums;
Curtis Griffith, bass and business
manager.
Jerry Yelverton, director of the
Knights during the past year, is
now in New York arranging for
several of the big bands in that
locality. He will join George Hall's
orchestra in the near future.
The Knights will present a style
bordering on a "dixie-land" style
that has been made famous in the
present day by the Bob Crosby
band.

To The Co-eds
You co-eds who are enrolling at Auburn
for the first time may think that a male
newspaper editor is hardly a fit person to
give you advice.
However, having been at Auburn for sev­eral
years, having watched the co-eds—some
good and some bad—come and go, having
seen college change some of them from ugly
ducklings to charming young ladies and some
of them from attractive young ladies to
swell-headed fools—all in all we'd like to
hand you a little advice which might be of
some value. You can take it or leave it.
You are in a unique situation at Auburn
because of the overwhelmingly large numb­er
of boys in proportion to the number of
girls. Conditions are probably different from
any you have ever faced before. They are
different social groups here just as elsewhere.
Choose your associates—male and female—
very carefully, for by your choice of friends
you are going to place yourself in a definite
group. And once you're in one group, even
though it's the wrong one for you, you'll
find it virtually impossible to change.
Keep your wits about you. If you receive
unaccustomed attention from the boys, don't
let it go to your head. Swell-headedness as
a freshman has ruined the popularity of more
than one co-ed. Don't believe all that the
boys tell you. It he's a real Auburn man,
he's probably told twenty other girls the
same thing.
And last but not least, be friendly. Meet
the people about you at least half way. You
can make your years here among the hap­piest
of your life, if you'll make friends, but
you can't make friends by expecting others
to do all the befriending. You'll like Auburn.
See to it that Auburn likes you. J.G.
The Auburn Spirit
Almost before you get settled in your pro­verbial
easy chair and begin enjoying your
college life with other students here at Au­burn
there will turn up unexpectedly that
elusive symbol of everything that is Auburn
—the Auburn Spirit. There are possibly no
other two words in an Auburn man's vocab­ulary
which bring so much to his mind and
so little realization as to the actual signifi­cance
of them, although he comes in contact
wtih evidences of that same Spirit each time
he sets his foot on the campus or on the side­walks
of Auburn.
To most of us who have not given it much
thought and those new men who have not
yet been initiated into it, there is a misdi­rected
conception that the Auburn Spirit
exists only during football season, when
there is plenty of room to shout and a good
excuse for it. However true it may be that
you can almost see and feel the Auburn
Spirit at a mass meeting or football game, the
idea extends much further than Langdon
Hall or Cramton Bowl.
Whatever you may personally claim is a
definition of the Auburn Spirit, the most
important single fact is that it is the great­est
common bond between Auburn men, no
matter what they may be or where they
may be. It makes no distinction between un­dergraduates
or alumni, fraternity men or
non-fraternity men, upper-classemen or
freshmen, faculty or students. It is as much
a part of your college life now as it will be
in your life after you leave. Its basis is the
firm belief and conviction, not just taken for
granted, that Auburn is above and beyond
the best college in the universe, and your
willingness to cooperate and give your whole­hearted
support to everything that is done
in the name of Auburn is evidence of your
belief.
With that in mind, how can you hestitate
to shout "Hello!" when you see an Auburn
man on the street? Or keep from raising the
roof off of Langdon Hall at a mass meet­ing?
Or fail to remember when you are out­side
of Auburn that you are an Auburn man
and proud of it.
The Auburn Spirit is much too large for
one man to claim it as his own. It is large
enough for every man who wants a part of
it, and IT IS JUST AS LARGE AS YOU
MAKE IT.
The Plainsman fervently hopes that the
Auburn Spirit will be a very contagious dis­ease.
It is up to you to make it an epidemic
and keep it that way. R.T.
Registration
An Auburn student would gasp if he had
been at Duke during its last registration and
seen 300 freshmen registered in two hours.
Under the streamlined, 20th century plan
?.t Duke there are no slow lines for class
cards. There a carbon copy of the registration
card serves the student as his class cards.
With simple instructions, each student is able
to register himself. In a whisk a secretary
checks his selections, catching registration
for cancelled classes. Another moment and
the business office has tabulated his bill.
That's all.
Our Next Governor
A few months ago fifty thousand Ala-bamians
went to the polls and expressed
their preference for Major Frank M. Dixon
to be the next governor of Alabama. The
faith which the electorate of the state holds
in the "War Eagle" from Birmingham holds
promise of being more than justified, for
already, even before going into office, he
has taken steps which indicate his serious
intentions.
He has made public his policy of refusing
gifts of boats, automobiles, and summer
homes which have been and will be ten­dered
him. He has appointed men to analyze
and dissect the state government and lay
bare its shortcomings, and these agents have
been appointed without regard to political
affiliations. Rumors, some of which are cer­tainly
based on fact, are circulating over the
state to the effect that he hopes to bring
about a drastic reorganization of Alabama's
archaic government. Already he is making
an effort to do something about the parole
and pardon situation, one of the rottenest
infections of the state.
The new legislature is expected to coop­erate
to an unusual extent with the new gov­ernor.
Many members have already express­ed
their intentions of working hand in glove
with him.
The next governor of Alabama is a young
man, he is a well-trained man, he is a learned
man. With the legislature working with him,
and the people backing him, Alabama may,
under his leadership, experience its long-awaited
awakening and reformation. J.G.
Disney
We know a lot of Auburn students who
would have enjoyed being in Disney, Okla.,
about the middle of May this summer. For
we imagine that it was just about as goofy
a town as one conceived by that man Dis­ney
of the movies. The following Associated
Press news story from Disney, Okla., that
appeared about May 15 tells why:
You can't be arrested for disturbin' the
peace here 'cause there ain't gonna be any more
peace.
Not for 30 days.
If you wanna holler on main street at mid­night
you can durn well holler. If you wanna
keep the nickelodeon in the tavern janglin'
until all hours, let 'er jangle.
If its horn tootin' or ra'rin' up the street in
the flivver with the cutout open you crave, no­body's
goin' to stop you.
The lid will be blown off at a big dance to
celebrate the election victory of Billy Baker,
whoopee dictator of Disney for the next 30
days. She won, 603 votes to 201, over Mrs.
Vera Silar, grocery operator who waved a
two-bitted axe and declared for a curfew law.
After the Baker dance-and-be-merry re­gime
Mrs. Silar gets her chance to make the
dam workmen like a quiet town for 30 days.
After that, when this boom town is incorporat­ed,
there's to be a vote on how it's to be run
permanently.
Chief of Police Hale Dunn looked a bit dis­turbed.
"Looks as- if I'm shunted on a siding," he
opined.
We imagine Disney must have had some
resemblance to Auburn during the height
of some football excitement here.
Shot To
Smithereens
By The Editor For
Ed Smith
In one issue last year we wrote
a long feature headed something
like this: "Advent of Columns is
Frequent Event in Plainsman:"
At that time we didn't know that
Ed Smith's column "Smithe­reens,"
published in the last is­sue,
would probably be the col­umn
with the shortest life of any
in Plainsman history. It should
have been called "Died in Infan­cy"
or "Premature Departure" or
something along that line. For its
initial appearance was its final
appearance.
* * *
For yesterday morning Smith
informed us over the phone that
he was leaving Auburn in a few
minutes for University of Vir­ginia
and could not, cf course, con­tinue
to write his column. We
think he showed promise of de­veloping
into a columinst whose
work would be pretty widely read.
We are genuinely sorry that Ed is
leaving Auburn; for we think
Plainsman readers have lost what
would have been an enjoyable
feature, and we know that we have
lost a staff member who could
always be depended on to keep
his word and get his copy in on
time.
MR. WAREAGLE SAYS
Observations
By A Female Fost-Grad
What a grand thing it is to hear
the Samford clock chime the hour
again in the still of the night—Oh,
it's good to be an Auburnite. It's
a thrill to catch the old spirit
again. And what a compliment to
be mistaken for a freshman and
get the feeling I'm not as decrepit
as I thought I was when I looked
at the new crop. They do seem to
get younger every year.
The trials and tribulations of
registering are over and not only
freshmen but the worldly wise up­per-
classmen heave a sigh of re­lief.
It's quite interesting to watch
the parade go by Langdon Hall,
and do the men size up the new
co-eds! Look to your powder
boxes, girls. The first weeks may
bring that handsome hero you
have dreamed about right to your
heels—and don't believe every­thing
you are told.
* * •
Yes, we ole grads get together
and sigh for the "good ole days."
* * *
Saw feminine heads turn specu­lative
eyes on the Auburn Knights
in the College Inn. Not the same
bunch of swingerouters I first
knew but just as good—and not
the same bunch of heads but just
as "pitty" so hearts can still pat­ter
in time. Which reminds me
I heard from one of the ole Knights
that George Yelverton has signed
with George Hall.
* * *
Noticed gome nice, new profes­sors
around. I guess the bootin'
will begin in earnest with old as
well as new students. I picked
out one, but he's married. Just
my luck! Four years fighting for
a degree, two years teaching oth­ers
how I did it, and still no luck.
Such is life—old maids go on for­ever.
I suppose I will have to buy
a new haircut, a short skirt, a
nonchalant air and continue to
hope. At least I have a little ex­perience
to top the majority. Ex­perience
is the spice of life—or is
it?
The women students are fortu­nate
in having a chance to become
acquainted with Miss Rosa Lee
Walston. I waited three years to
learn she is the person to go to
when lone feels let down.
College date bureaus which
have been springing up spasmodi­cally
on campii throughout the
country have been cited as a step
towards reducing the number of
divorces in the United States. On
that score, take the word of Mrs.
Evelyn Millis Dowell, executive
director of the Chicago Associa­tion
of Child Study and Parent Ed­ucation.
Mrs. Duvall declared that the
college date bureaus promote
wholesome social contacts, and
tend to give both men and women
the broadening of acquaintance­ships
with the opposite sex, there­by
making them better fitted to
select their respective life part­ners.
I .suppose the Editor's idea in publishing a style book for the
staff is to wean some of the staff members, including this writer,
away from Baby Ray stuff. However, I believe he has left out a
few suggestions to staff members that I think would be helpful. So
here they are in my own particular "Primer for Journalists:"
Q.—How does one learn anything at Washington?
A.—On high authority.
Q.—Does the President ever have an opinion?
A.—No. He is always represented as believing.
Q.—What is the nature of a rumor in diplomatic circles?
A.—It is authentic.
Q.—Is there anything else it might be?
A.—Yes. It might be well-grounded.
Q.—What should an investigation or inquiry be called?
A.—A probe.
Q.—What is a probe like?
A.—It is sweeping, exhaustive, and searching.
Q.—What happens at probes?
A.—Persons are flayed, scored, or lauded.
Q.—How do injured peracns get to the hospital?
A.—They are rushed there.
Q.—Do society weddings ever take place at 12 o'clock?
A.—No. They always occur at high noon.
Q.—How do fires start?
A.—They are of unknown origin.
Q.—When a crime is committed, how soon may police be ex­pected
to make an arrest?
A.—Before nightfall.
Q.—When a crime involves more than one person, how are
they described?
A.—As a ring.
Q.—How big is the ring?
A.—Nation-wide.
Q.—How do they catch a ring?
A.—Police spread a dragnet and scour the country.
Q.—What are robbers like?
A.—They are daring and bold.
Q.—How do you describe one robber?
A.—As a lone bandit.
Q.—How do robbers escape?
A.—In a high-powered automobile.
It is a lamentable fact that there are practically no freak clubs
on the campus. No, not of student strikers, bomb-hrowers, and soap
box speakers. Happily, Aubum has left it to other colleges to ad­vance
the cause of revolution. But we are sadly lacking in crack-brained
organizations so prevalent in other schools.
A Shirley Temple club ought to be founded here. Duties of
members would be to stand on the uptown corners and everytime
a co-ed ambles by say, "If she can do that now, just wait until
she grows up!"
Or an Anti-Corsage League, which would not, of course, have
the support of the florists, but would be a good thing.
Or, as the editor suggests, a How I Done It Club with W. L.
Smith as president.
And why not a Campus Casanovas Club, composed of the local
outstanding romeos?
And last and most necessary on this campus, a Every Co-ed a
Queen Club. After all, why not crown the four or five girls that
during the year will not be made queen of something or other. We
should be democratic, even in doling out crowns.
A Stitch In Time
For- Auburn Freshmen
Be friendly—the trade mark and
pride Off Auburn is its friendly,
democratic spirit. Greet everyone
with a smile—until you run
against him in politics—then
greet him with a grin.
Be respectful—of teachers and
upper-classmen. After all, they
have a few years' wisdom on you,
and you'll know how they feel it
next year when some one asks you
if you are a lowly freshman. And
by the by, smart alexs aren't ap­preciated
here anymore than they
are any where else.
Be a good sport—learn to "take
it" and grin. You'll have a chance
to "dish it out" later.
Be honest—it's really no dis­grace
to take English Composition
more than once and you'll find you
aren't as anxious to leave Auburn
as you thought you were. You'll
be better liked and respected your­self
if you don't chisel on some­one
else.
Be confident—but don't be too
aggressive. Everyone wants you
to show you have something un­der
your hat but don't show all
you have. You'll need a little to
pass on.
Be a good listener—all upper-classmen
like to talk about them­selves.
Agree with them. You
have a right to your own opin­ion.
Don't talk about others unless
you say something good. Remem­ber
it will come back to you—at
a dance, in a class room or else­where.
And last—the old axiom or
something—"use your head, don't
let your head use you."
All the heartaches and trials
you have now will be the fondest
memories later, so make the most
of your opportunities.

Miss Elizabeth Gotcher for his
pride and joy! How did you do
it, Gotcher?
Lost—Five weeks of heavy

back in town.
Extra—Harold McClelland is

Before Tomorrow
By John Godbold
AUBURN'S NEW BUILDINGS
seem almost a certainty now that
the school's application for PWA
funds has passed the hurdle of the
Supreme Court of Alabama.
A new building on Vet Hill will
be a great aid to the School of
Veterinary Medicine, which is
steadily establishing a more and
more enviable reputation among
schools of its kind. The Agricul­tural
Engineering building will
fill the long-felt need for suit­able
housing for that department.
A new class building will relieve
much of the congestion now exis­tent
on the main campus. Even if
they were of no other use, the new
dormitories for girls would,
through increasing the number of
women students, deflate the ego
of some of the conceited co-eds
around who do not realize that
their popularity is caused by a
dearth of women and not by their
attractiveness.
* * *
THE WORLD'S BIGGEST
BLUFFER, Adolf Hitler, is bluf­fing
again. For weeks Europe has
supposedly teetered on the rim of
war, fearing that at any moment
the hosts of Germany would sweep
into Czechoslovakia. Yet when one
thinks rationally about the situ­ation
it becomes apparent that
while Hitler has blustered and'
threatened much he has actually
done little.
One must pay tribute to Der
Fuehrer for his magnificently
played bluff in the great interna­tional
poker game. The stakes are
sky-high and one must have cour­age
to bluff. Yet, it is hard to be­lieve
that Germany, which is Hit­ler,
will do more than bluff, for
though he may be a fanatic, Hit­ler
is no fool.
Were the Germans to start into
Czech territory, a million French­men
would instantly be on the
march. Russia with the world's
largest army would swing into
line. Russians will not forget Hit­ler's
open assertion that the Reich
is looking toward the fertile grain
fields of the Ukraine. The British
Empire, still the most formidable
power on earth, might not come
in, but if she did it would not be
on the side of the Germans.
Germany's allies? Italy is a
question mark. None too strong are
the ties that keep the Rome-Ber­lin
axis intact. Italy double-cross­ed
her allies in the last world war
and would not hesitate to do so
again if she thought it to her ad­vantage.
Japan? Probably not pro-
German, but even if so, her ef­fectiveness
would be hampered by
the never-ending Chinese war
which is a deadly drain sapping
at the life-blood of the island na­tion.
If Germany is to fight she must
run the risk of fighting alone. Hit­ler
is gambler enough to play his
hand in the face of terrifically
high odds, but the chance of fight­ing
alone makes the odds too high.
So Hitler can only bluster and
bluff.

"STAY SOUTH YOUNG MAN,"
we college students are told time
and time again. "The greatest op­portunity
Dor college graduates lies
here in the South." The publica­tion,
"Alabama, 1938" issued by
the Alabama Industrial Develop­ment
Board presents some facts
which indicate that we are being
advised correctly.
In the chapter, "Summary of
Alabama's Resources," one reads
"There is no other location (re­ferring
to Birmingham) that we
have knowledge of, where within
a radius of five miles is found
coal, iron ore, and the limestone
necessary to make pig iron and
steel. There is no other state which
has any richer agricultural lands
than the Tennessee River Valley
of North Alabama; or the prairie
lands of Central Alabama; or the
semi-tropical coastal plain of
South Alabama . . . now the paper
industry is developing in Alabama
on an increasing scale . . . Ala­bama
has the distinction of hav­ing
a river system on which
many large hydro-electric devel­opments
have already been made."
These facts and many others in­dicate
that Alabama is a fertile
field for those seeking a place
in which to live their lives profit­ably
and fruitably. So, "Stay
South. Young Man."

Weldon, Well, Miller, that's what
you get for not making "Who's
Who."

Bennett portrays tempestuous
belle of Old Dixie, while Scott has
the role of the soldier-lover who
tames her.
Miss Bennett is usually thought
of an the fragile type, more at
home in a drawing-room than on
the prairies, but in "The Texans,"
as a fire-eating daughter of the
South, she goes' the "Jezebels" and
"Scarlett O'Haras" one better and
starts a one-woman rebellion
against carpet-bag rule which
nearly throws all Texas into
flames.
Miss Bennett is now carrying the
dramatic burden of one of the
first families of the American
theater. Her father, Richard, the
one-time matinee idol recently re­tired
and her sister, Barbara, left
the screen when she married Mor­ton
Downey, the singer. Joan's
other sister, Connie, is now specia­lizing
in farcical screen comedy.
As the Southern soldier who
comes home from war to find his
country in ruins, Scott has a role
in which he is completely at
borne. He himself is a son of Dixie
to the very core, born in Virginia
and educated in Georgia and
North Carolina. Even now he
spends much of his free time in
the heart of the Virginia fox­hunting
country.
A part based on the life of one
of the frontier's most colorful
characters, Mrs. Amanda Burks,
the first woman ever to drive the
Chisholm Trail, is played by May
Robson, "the grand old lady of the
screen." Seen recently in"A Star
Is Born" and "The Adventures of
Tom Sawyer," Miss Robson now
has her most "hardbitten" role as
the intrepid old frontierswoman
who stands up for her rights
against the Union army.
Others in the cast are Walter
Brennan, who, as a pioneer trap­per,
plays a role similar to the
one he had in "The Buccaneer,"
Robert Barrat, Robert Cummings
and Harvey Stephens.
A Mickey Mouse color cartoon
titled "Good Scouts" and Robert
Benchley in the "Benchley" man­ner
showing you "How To Raise
A Baby" rounds out this enjoy­able
program.

ripe tobaccos and pure cigarette
paper...to make Chesterfield
the cigarette that smokers
say is milder and better-tasting.
