Series of Lectures; Litera­t
u r e Classes Hear Discussion
"May I have a word?" was the
question that electrified the large
crowd who rose to leave Langdon
Hall last night at the conclusion
of Monsieur Pierre Frederix'
speech on the Spanish situation.
The audience turned to see the
questioner and found -Father
'Schrader in the garb of the Cath­olic
clergy striding to the rostrum,
notes in hand.
The propositions of the ensuing
debate between the priest and the
Frenchman were that a mistake
had been made in denoting the
party to majority in Spain and that-the
speech was communistic, na­tionalistic,
and subjective. The
tense spectators carefully watched
and listened as the excited speak­ers
made accusations and retali­ations.
Frederix had stated in his
speech that the Loyalists had ma­jority
rule in the Spanish gov­erning
body and were recognized
by the French government. "The
Frencbrmilitary supplies were sold
to the Loyalists before a policy of
non-intervention was declared. It
is possible that more were smug­gled
through to them afterwards
over thetronteir that the long
range of the Pyrenees makes so
difficult to guard."
Schrader quqted the election
figures to show that the Insurg­ents
were in majority in Spain
and should be recognized by the
French government. "Nine priests
.ljke myself and' three nuns were
murdered to cold blood by the
Loyalists. You have heard a
speech that was communistic na­tionalistic,
and subjective even
when Mr. Lecturer stated that it
was to be objective."
"If I had taken three hours with
my speech instead of one, I could
have spent thirty minutes in show­ing
that atrocities were commit­ted
by both sides," Frederix re­plied.
"Pecularities in electorial
rules to various cduntries often re­sult
in improper representation
in the governing bodies. That is
as true in France as it is in Spain."
Tension on the part of both the
speakers and the audience brought
the debate to an abrupt end and
they filed out of the building.
Groups of the spectators gathered
around each of the debaters to
listen and ask questions while
others walked away discussing
the affair. Sentiment of the audi­ence
was divided between the
two taking part to the debate.
The lecture series, arranged
through the Institute of* Interna­tional
Education,- New York City,
was attended by a total of more
than 1,000 students, faculty, and
townspepole. In addition to the
main addresses Monday and Tues­day
evenings in Langdon Hall,
Monsieur Frederix spoke before
a number of English, goverment,
and current events classes while
here. He arrived to the United
States }ast week-

Art Exhibit Is Now
On Display Here
An unusual exhibit of creative
design done by students ranging
from kindergarden to those to Un­iversities
and Art schools is now
on display at the Library of the
School of Architecture and Allied
Arts. Sponsored by the Depart­ment
of Applied Art, the exhibit
of some 50 pieces will remain on

Bulk of the Art School work
has been contributed by the Chica­go
Institute of Art, the Art De­partment
of the University of
Kansas, the Rhode Island School
of Design, and the Moore Insti­tute
of Art Science and Industry.
This part of the display includes
poster, wallpaper, and rug designs
together with a number of maga­zine
illustrations.
Most of the High School work
is that of cpver designs for year­books
done by students in the New
York City system.
"Perhaps of most interest to the
public is the work of kinder-garden
and elementary school
children to Los Angeles, Cal.,"
said Prof. Frank W. Applebee,
head of the Applied Art Depart­ment.
"This work is colorful, im­aginative,
and in may cases ex­ceptionally
well designed.
"All in all, a splendid glimpse
of modern American Art Education
can be obtained by viewing this
exhibit," said Professor Applebee.
The exhibit will be open to pub­lic
inspection from 8 to 12 and 1
to 5 o'clock each week day through
November 10.

English Royal Art
Society Selects
Prof. Hixon
Local Engineering Professor
One of Two Southerners
Honored By Group
Professor C. R. Hixon, mechan­ical
engineering professor, has the
honor of being one of the few
American members of the Royal
Society of Art of England, to
which he was recently elected.
The Royal Society has a mem­bership
of 4000 which is made up
of representatives of every con­ceivable
art, profession, occupa­tion,
and industry of the present
day world. The Society's founda­tion
dates from the middle of the
seventeenth century, but it was
not until 1754 that the Society was
formally organized. In 1847 the
Royal Society was incorporated
into its present form. Membership
to the Society is mainly of honor
ary degree and is considered a
distinct honor and achievement to
any man's life. -' . •
Of its 4000 members only 150
..are Americans, t l of which are
Southerners. Prof. Hixon is the-second
Alabamian who is a pre­sent
member and the only faculty
member to ever receive the honor.
To become a member of the
Royal Society, one must be recom­mended
by three present memb­ers
of the Royal Society of Art,
one of whom must'know the nom­inee
personally. Upon concurrence
by the Council of the Society, the
nominee is issued an invitation
to join its ranks. Though Prof.
Hxon received the invitation some
time ago, it was not until recently
that he accepted. Mr. Hixon grad­uated
from Auburn in 1907 and
became professor of mechanical
engineering in 1921.

school, made a talk upon
the textile industry.
Prof. Camp augmented his
speech with various samples of
cotton- goods, cotton yarn in pro­cess,
and pictures of the various
processes of cloth manufacture.
An- item of novelty presented

Lambda Chi Leads
Interfrat Tourney
With four Weeks of play gone
by, the Lambda Chi touch football
team holds the lead to the race for
top honors to the Interfraternity
Touch football league. With a per­fect
record df four wins", no de­feats
or ties, and an uncrossed
goal line, the Lambda Chi outfit
has paced the field. The S. A: E's.
also have a perfect record, but
have not scored as many points as
the 'Magnolia Avenue boys. Alpha
Gamma Rho is a close third, but
have had a safety scored against
them to-mar their perfect record.
Interest has continued to rise
as the season goes along, a n * in­tense
competition for the prizes is
noticeable. All games have been
played on time, and the success of
the new plan now in practice will
likely cause it to be adopted for
future years.
The Lambda Chi team has scored
57 points to 0 for their opponents,
and the SAE outfit has 45-0 count.
Alpha Gamma Rho has the highest
total, with 63, but a safety scored
upon them marred their record.
Games will be played at the
regular fields with the exception
of Bullard Field. Grass is being
planted, and the War Department
asks that the field not be used,
for any purpose.

Don't Be Boorish
As college students and members of
t h a t small select group of men who are
privileged to attend centers of higher
learning, it is your d u t y to act in a manner
becoming to cultured men. Reserve and
dignity in no way affect the fervor of col­lege
spirit but boorishness in action does
detract from its aim and purpose.
I n the past students have raided the
g i r l ' s dormitory, greased the train track,
crashed the show and the train, painted
t h e water tank, and done other things that
were not exactly gentlemanly, but that
offers no excuse for their repetition. No
progress can be made as long as people do
t h e same things year after year. Yet, every
- y e a r the same outrages come u p with add­ed
fury and the progress made does an
about-face.
There are no set rules or designated of­ficials
to force students to drop their boo­r
i sh ways. The rules for being a gentle­man
are never enforced. It is a m a t t e r of
choice and pride that earns that name
for men. It should be t h e aim of every stu­dent
to rightfully wear the title of "gen­tleman
and scholar.
Not until the students decide to be gen­tlemen
will Auburn ever lose the name -of
"Cow College." Not until they censor un­couth
action and boorish pranks will the
Auburn Spirit be at its greatest height.
The matter is a personal one and can be
remedied only by personal effort toward
t h e improvement of manners. Don't be
boorish . . . be a gentleman.
A Pipe Parable
One of our good friends, a classmate,
t e l l s us of an incident that befell him last
week-end that brought out in a crystal
clear way just how we students look to
non-partial outsiders looking in.
This student was seated alone in the
smoker of an Auburn-bound t r a i n enjoy­ing
his pipe when a second pipe-smoker
entered, fired up and seated himself be­side
t h e student.
Pipe-smokers the two of them, they . h ad
much in common, and conversation began
right away. The student introduced him­self
and the other did likewise. The man
told the student he was a manufacturer's
r e p r e s e n t a t i v e and had been working in
Southeast Alabama for about four years.
By picking up students on Toomer's
corner this man had come to know and
l i k e many Auburn students, He said he
liked to be with Auburn students . . . said
t h e y w e r e congenial, aggressive and i n gen­eral
were men's men.
The two pipe lovers smoked and chatted
for some t h i r t y minutes, w i t h t h e business
man lauding Auburn with his every state­ment.
A few miles . o u t of Auburn, when the
man had praised A. P. I. from a hundred
angles, the tone of his voice changed; he
took up a new angle . . . t h a t of student
behavior at football games and places of
t h e like.
"There's your one shortcoming." he said,
"when you fellows leave the Plains you
forget that fine spirit and those gentleman*
ly manners and assume a public be-damn-ed
a t t i t u d e ."
"At football games is where you are
r e a l ly subjected to t h e s c r u t i n y of t h e pub­lic
eye." He went on, "Your behavior or
misbehavior as members of the Auburn
student body brands you in the minds of
spectators with whom you n a t u r a l l y come
in contact."
"You men are gentlemen and fine fel­lows,
but your out-of-Auburn actions have
made many people believe to t h e contrary."
When the t r a i n rolled into the Auburn
station t h e man expressed his appreciation
for the genial company the student afford­ed
him and in bidding farewell said, "If
you fellows could only act away from Au­b
u r n like you do in Auburn, you'd all be
idylls.
Those Bull Sessions
How many hours have you wasted in
bull sessions? How often do you arise from
a session without expressing your view
on t h e topic of discussion?
The individual who can say "none" to
t h e first question and "always" to t h e sec­ond
deserves abounding credit, for the col­lege
students who have the will power to
totally abstain from the so called bull ses­sions
are few indeed.
The bull sessionist's evening goes some­thing
like this: You just happen to be in
the room when a topic is brought up. An
argument follows, and you say to your­self,
"Well, I'll leave as soon as Bill ex­pounds
his theory." But the argument gets
b e t t e r as it goes along "and you find that
t h e subject is right down your alley, so
you become engaged by presenting your
angle.
Your angle throws a new light on the
subject, and you find yourself the spark­plug
of t h e debate. You become so e n t h r a l l ­ed
in the fascination of out-arguing some
one that you forget your lessons. An hour
passes, then another, then you look down
at your watch and shout, "Gad, it's 10
o'clock, and I have a quiz in organic to­morrow!"
»
The bull session is a college plague that
has wrecked many a s t u d y night, and only
one out a h u n d r e d such sessions yields any
practicable information to the conferees.
They are an i r r e s t a b l e waste of time and
we would all be much better off if there
were no such meetings.
Our intentions are usually good when
we find ourselves in the midst of one, but
our will p o w e r ; or perhaps our won't pow­er,
keeps us from departing in favor of
books.
"Shafety Firsh"
"Yeshshir," said the gent whose eyes
were out of focus and whose b r e a t h prob­ably

PLAINSMAN FORUM - Voice of the Students
Editor,
The Auburn Plainsman
Dear Sir:
In the student opinion poll 180 voted for
retaining their right to express their opinion
and belief on who is the best man for*our
publication heads.
Out of the six issues, I voted 'with the ma­jority
on four of them. I voted with the 198
for retaining the right to vote for publication
heads."I am sure that the majority is not
afraid to trust their judgement.
May I ask the one who voted in favor of
appointment how they decided upon the mark
(x) by in the past election of publication
heads? If you did not take time to ask the
politician to have a seat and discuss his issues
with you, perhaps you did right in voting for
a change to appontment.
When heads or respective groups or units
of individuals are bound together by mutual
benefits from corrupt college politics • it is
time to change to appointment of our publi­cation
heads. Vote swapping by groups of
individuals did perhaps occur in past election.
This might have been classed as good political
strategy by those groups.
When you listened to the "Bossv and voted
as a unit you lost all the pleasure of having
"backed your judgement" and stood behind
your man for what he proposed to uphold.
Vote your thinking power out of your heads
and you have lost some more of that meager
amount of student controlling power that you
now have.
The individuals who would do the appoint­ing
are unknown to me. Therefore, I hold no
personal animosity toward them. Seniors do
not vote for publication heads, therefore I
have no political interest at stake.
For those in the future, Think before you
vote, and don't vote away the voting privilege
of those to follow you.
A Senior,
O. J.

My dear Dot:
I have been informed that you desire to

of the moronic actions of the students who
gave vent to their childish impulses this past
week-end. Hallowe'en is of course intimately

NEWS NATIONAL — Tomorrow from coast
to coast the country's postmen and special
service men will begin taking a United States
Unemployment Census. John "Riggers, Admin­istrator
of the census, said that it was im­perative
that Congress and the President be-supplied
with data that would give them some
idea of how many persons in this country were
unemployed and how many of these wanted
to work. ,
The census plan is for postmen and their
helpers to go to the homes in every city, large
and small, and leave cards at homes where
unemployment is found. When collected, the
cards should give a comparatively accurate
picture.of U. S. unployment.
A major obstacle in the path of meeting
unemployment has been the absence of really
accurate figures. We have long, needed some
national record to tell how many were out of
work and who these people were.
OFF THE RECORD — Say what you will
about the pesky sales tax tokens, they have
brought into the Alabama treasury over 655,-
000 dollars already, according to latest re­ports

less and the chairman of the board Of directors,
Myron C. Taylor, being replaced by 37 year

one thing; Big Steel is liberalizing in policy,
and the so called "old heads" are losing out
to the younger men who have more liberal
views toward labor and the industry as -a
whole.
SATIRE — The new license tags are a great
tribute to a deserving school, but the dark
blue and dark red hues offer about as much
color contrast as would a white bear eating
marshmellows in a snowstorm. Traffic of­ficers,
you have our sympathy.
ALABAMA NEWS — Governor Graves as­tounded
many listeners who heard his address
broadcast from Montgomery last week by de­livering
a financial fleport that read like
fiction.
The state's chief executive said that Ala­bama's
finances were working out in fine
shape and were working out even better
than expected. He said "We have recently
bought and destroyed bonds not due until
1964 and have saved more than $17,000,000
by refunding'bonds at lower rates of interest."

AVIATION — Several days after 19 per­sons
were killed in the airliner crash in Utah,
the China Clipper organization released an
activities report that was encouraging indeed
for aviation . . . not nearly encouraging enough
to make us forget the Utah tragedy , , , but
enough to restore some much needed confi­dence
in aviation.
According to the China Clipper report, 2000
passengers have been transported from the
United States to China and there has not been
a fatality nor a serious mishap. The Clippers
travel 8,500 miles on this trans-oceanic jaunt,
and their record of 1,500,000, mi}es 0f air
travel without an accident brightens the put-look
for commercial air relations between
nations. : ' • * • :' ' •• ' '
Repprts like this spupd gppd to all of- us, but
we are stil} dubious about this strange field
called aviation . . . just can't help being th^t
way when we read of plane crashes that have
been happening all too frequently.
NEWS UNIQUE — We've heard of wooden
pistols and sham battles, but the Japanese at­tack
on China Oct. 17 beats them all,
Japan-Chinese front lines with bundles pf
newspapers . . . no explosives , , . just news­papers,
The bpmbing was a part of the Japanese
strategy; Japan wanted tp acquaint Chinese
soldiers with reported victories of the Nip­ponese.
Japanese airmen volunteered and ran
the Chinese gauntlet to deliver • their little,
parcels that sent Chinese soldiers scampering
to cover.

Princeton Man Is
Admirer Of Tigers
Perhaps Princeton men are sup­posed
to cheer only for. Prince­ton,
and Auburn men only for
Auburn, however, there are al­ways
exceptions.
Signed "a Princeton graduate,"
the Birmingham Post recently re­ceived
the following letter.
"A certain institution of higher
learning in Alabama has already
played five of the finest football
teams in these United States wtih-out
a defeat, and their goal line
has only been crossed one single
time. This same college has yet
to play Rice, Tennessee, L. S. U.,
Georgia and Florida.
"In every major game to date
sweet Auburn have shownaradoda
the courageous warriors from
sweet Auburn have shown a bril­liance
and determination unmatch­ed
by any group of young men
in America. Theseboys take on the
largest and wealthiest schools in
the Southland week after week,
and consistently they deal them
all plenty of Sherman.
"The work of Coach Jack Mea­gher
at Auburn is a vital in bring­ing
out the finest qualities in our
boys who have the privilege^of
playing under him, and I think
that the record of the Tigers to
date places Alabama courage -and
determination in the topmost of
sport and civic records."

Rice Deals First
Defeat To Tigers
The Auburn Tigers tasted their
first defeat of the season last
Saturday in the Rice Stadium at
Houston, Texas. Two long returns
of punts and two touchdown
passes thrown by the bulky Earn­est
Lain, enabled the Rice Owls
to beat Auburn in the first half,
13-7.
The Owls shut out the starting
Auburn team and then had enough
in reserve to keep a courageous
second team from taking the game
aw3y from them in a third period
drive. The Bengal's first team
was badly outplayed by Rice, but
in the second half Rice was just
as badly outplayed by a game
second outfit from the Plains.
The Tigers beat down four scor­ing
threats of the Owls before
Lain, a 215 pound sophomore
halfback, took charge. He beat Au­burn
with two passes that were
worked with perfection. He threw
the first one to Frank Steen, a
giant towering at least a foot over
Auburn's defense, who didn't have
a ghost of a chance to bat the ball
down.
Floyd Mechler took the second
touchdown pass from Lain, after
taking the pass from center and
tossing it to Lain. The play had
so much deception that he took
the right side of Auburn's de­fensive
setup by complete sur­prise.

Boxing Team Ready
For Full Season
With thirty-five men reporting
for workouts the Boxing team
has begun the 1937 season.
At a meeting hejd last week
there were approximately forty
men present and there was an un­usual
interest shown concerning
the definite establishment of box­ing
as a'major sport here. At this
meeting Sam Dorfman, Bill White­head,
and Zip Adams were select­ed
to head the ringmen this sea­son,
as student • manageijs. All
these men are veterans of ring
battles and junder their coaching
the team should make great pro­gress
this year. As soon as Coach
Morgan can devote part of his time
to the squad there should be evi­dent
an upward turn in the inter­est
and the efficiency of the team.
Although thety are working under
the handicap of lack of space for
practice and without any assistance
from any of the coaching staff,
the team is rapidly getting into
condition for the meets that are
expected to be held this year. Ten­tative
plans are already being
made for a meet with Clemson,
or maybe with Florida before
Christmas.
Last year the team was unable
to function as it wished, due to
certain handicaps that could not
be removed. There was only an
exhibition match here last year,
who attended. In this match Sam
Dorfman showed ring prowess
worthy of any mitman in any
school, and after working all sum­mer
he knows more skill and pow­er
this year than last.
With three veterans taking care
of the coaching and of the team
and also holding down the first
places in the heavy-weight, mid­dle-
weight, and light-weight di­visions
the squad is expected to
be able to participate in the Con­ference
tournament next spring.
All weight classes are now re­presented,
but there exists a def­inite
shortage of men under 135
pounds and over 185. Dorfman
is anxious that these weight
classes be fully represented and
invites all experienced boxers to
come out for pratice.
A tentative meet has been ar­ranged
in Atlanta for sometime
in December before Christmas
holidays begin. However, the team
will not settle down to really in­tensive
work before the end of the
holidays. At that time it is ex­pected
that a number of football
players will turn out for the team
and thus bolster the weak spots.
NOTICE
Miss Louise Lee Kreher an­nounces
that the Tuesday night
social chancing clajfs has been
moved from Recreation Hall to the
girls' gymnasium. The class will
be held at 7 o'clock as before.
George Kenmore, Tiger sopho­more
star, stole the show for the
losers. He punted brilliantly,
threw passes and skirted through
the line like a rabbit. George
Wolff, husky tackle, also played
a sterling game, taking over where
Bo Russell left off. And the two
big sophomore ends, Goon Harri­son
and Stancil Whatley, were
matches for Steen and Nonce, both
playing stellar roles.
It was mainly through the work
of Kenmore, aided by Ralph O'-
Gwynne, Pelham Sitz and directed
by Osmo Smith, that the Plains­men
got their lone tally. This com­bination
carried the ball to Rice's
five yard line, from whence Sitz
carried it over, Garth Thorpe von-verting
the extra point. A few good
breaks would have enabled the
Bengals to score another touch­down.
After working the oval
down to the Rice 30, a low pass
from center, which lost 10 yards,
ended a potent Auburn threat.
Home Ec Students
Show Exhibits
The Future Homemakers of
America, comprising college girls
enrolled in Home Economics Ed­ucation-
Vocational at A. P. I., par­ticipated
in an exhibit at the an­nual
Ag Fair.
This exhibit developed prob­lems
in Consumer Education faced
by Mr. Average Consumer in se­lecting
a suit of clothes. The points
emphasized were: quality, occa­sion,
style, workmanship, color,
and cost. *
Mr. A in the exhibit represent­ed
the well-dressed man who spent
thirty-five dollars for his outfit.
His suit was of dark blue, hard
finished, worsted material which
would be serviceable and would
not grow old to the wearer. The
style was conservative yet com­bined
the latest features, double
breated, peSked lapels, and a plain
back. Harid made button holes
and lining of good grade celanese
indicated good workmanship. A
white shirt and a tie which con-trasted
pleasantly with the suit
completed the outfit. This outfit
would be suitable for various oc­casions,
such as 'street, church,
school, travel, and informal even­ing
wear.
Mr. B oh the other hand, was
dressed in an outfit which was
valued at nineteen dollars. The
suit was made of a soft finished
woolen material of questionable
quality. It was dull blue in color
with a light stripe. The style of
the suit, embracing the most ex­treme
sport back and novelty but­tons,
was strictly a fad. Mr. B'S
suit was machine made with ma­chine
made button holes and a lin­ing
of about seventy percent cot­ton
content. A blue striped shirt
and tie with bright stripes were
evidently bought with the view of
obtaining the goods at a bargain
price. Mr. B's outfit would be ap­propriate
only for outdoor, day­time
sports events.
Mr. Sammy Barnes of Sammy's
store made possible this exhibit.
This is a filler used to fill up
space.
