Polls Open At |
Eight O'clock/
-Close At Five
Students will gather at the stu­dent
hall tomorrow to cast their
votes in the "Miss Auburn" elec­tion
and express themselves in
the Plainsman opinion poll. The
job of selecting one of five popu­lar
co-eds and giving their opin­ions
on five current questions will
face the students.
The names of the girls appear­ing
on the ballots are Jean Bailey,
Jane Handley, Suzelle Hare, Sara
Smith, and Johnnie Stanbery: The
one of the five who receives the
largest plurality of votes will
assume the title of "Miss Auburn
of 1937." Her photograph will
appear in the year book.
Beginning a series of opinion
polls to be held this year, the
first will consist of the following
five questions:
Are you in favor of changing
the Glomerata to a magazine is-
' sued four times and carrying all
the features of the year book plus
added photographs and reading
matter?
Are you in favor of changing
the election of Plainsman and
Glomerata heads to appointment
by the Publications Board at the
beginning of the junior year to
serve a year's apprenticeship be­fore
assuming active duty?
Are you in favor of changing
• the Plainsman to an eight-page
paper issued once a week?
Do you like the new "stream­lined"
make-up of the Plainsman?
Are you in favor of the re­sumption
of athletic relations with
the University of Alabama?
A space will be provided for
recommended changes in the pap-er.
The space is to be filled in
with any suggestions students may
have toward making their paper
more satisfactory to them.
The polls will open at eight
o'clock in the Student Hall and
will remain open until five o'clock
to enable all students to have a
chance to vote. Each student will
be allowed one vote on a signed
ballot. The Plainsman and Glom­erata
heads will be in charge of
the polls,

Scholarship Club Is
Organized Here
Last Wednesday night at Comer
Hall, a new scholarship club was
organized. The new organization
will be known as the Sears and
Roebuck Scholarship Club. The
club owes its name to the fact
that the membership is limited
to those students who have been
awarded argricultural scholarships
by Sears and Roebuck. There are
twenty-five such boys in this
school.
Officers ejected for the ensuing
year are: President, William G.
Eden, Ashville; Vice-President,
James Paul ttplladay, Dothan;
Secretary-Treasurer, Leon Gra­ham,
West Point; Reporter, Dan
W. Hollis, Headland,
At another meeting last Friday
night, a constitution was formu­lated.
It is yet to be approved by
a vote of the members. The pur­poses
of the organization include;
the promoting of scholastic stand­ing,
the promoting of leadership,
the encouraging of an attitude of
friendship and cooperation, the
encouraging of the practice of par­liamentary
procedure; and lastly,
the promoting of the possibilities
of members in extra-curricular
activities.
A dinner will be given for the
club at the Tea Room of the
Pitts Hotel on Thursday night of
this week. The principal speaker
of the evening will be Mr. Haines
of the personal Relations depart­ment
of Sears, Roebuck and Co.
of Atlanta, Georgia. Dean M. J.
Funchess will also be present, as
will several other prominent ag­ricultural
leaders who are inter­ested
in the club.

Scoop
The deadline had been pass­ed
and the presses were almost
ready to run. Suddenly, there
swooped down on the editorial
offices a frenzied freshman
clutching a bit of paper. The
editor seized it! Read! Rushed
madly to the machine room.
All activity was suspended.
Thert came a reorganization of
the makeup. The Scotch Busi­ness
Staff was consulted on
the advisability of a special
issue. True to form Mr. Ball
said "No"! But the story must
go—must go big!
, A scoop, the journalist's
dream, lay in the palm of the
editor's hand. Could he flash
the news to the public first?
Associate Editors buzzed, the
Sports staff sat dumbfounded,
the News Editor rushed, and
the editor tore his hair with
renewed vigor. The composing
men talked of streamers in un­mentionable
dimensional, and
the newsboys downtown were
notified to prepare for the rush.
Because of {the electric at­mosphere
prevailing, the read­ing
public gleaned that news
was about to break. They gath­ered
in frenzied mobs.
Yes, it was true—the heads
of the Glomerata had announc­ed
that Auburn would have an
annual this year!
Ag Fair Takes Place
In Amphitheater
Auburn's annual Ag Fair will be

every Tuesday night at seven
o'clock, in room 207 of Ramsay
Hall.
Auburn Wrecks Tech
In Tilt On Grant
Field Saturday
Sivell, Fenton Score To
Defeat Yellow Jackets 21-0
In Atlanta
Performing in a manner that
was only slightly less amazing
than ttieir smashing 33 to 7 vic-tory*
over Mississippi State the
previous week, the Auburn Tig­ers
again rose to new heights to
completely crush the razzle-daz-zling
Georgia Tech Yellow Jackets,
21 to 0, at Grant Field in Atlanta
last Saturday.
All of the touchdowns came in
the first half, but the score actual­ly
does not reveal the tremendous
superiority of the Tigers over the
Engineers. Auburn made 11 first
downs to Tech's 6 and gained 229
yards from rushing to the loser's
94.
Both Auburn and Tech played
the entire game without the ser­vices
of one of their star players.
Billy Hitchcock, star left half for
the Plainsmen, and Bill Jordan,
Tech's great end, bothi watched
the game from the sidelines, due
to injuries.
- Tech's famous razzle-dazzle was
completely smothered by the great
Auburn line. The Tigers used a
floating defense that completely
baffled such great runners as
Dutch Konneman, Capt. Fletcher
Sims and Harry Appleby. Auburn's
line, paced by the aggressive and
dynamic Happy Sivell, Bo Russell,
Rex McKissick and Capt. Lester
Antley was a thing of gridiron
grandeur. Dutch Heath, fullback,
was superior on both defense and
offense.
The initial score came as the re­sult
of an 80 yard march, featuring
the running of Heath, Speck Kel­ly
and Jimmie Fenton, and was
terminated by that happy warrior,
"Touchdown" Sivell. Kelly faded
back to pass but Junius Page in­tercepted
the pass only to be /hit
by a mass of Auburn players on
the Tech 16. Out of the skirmish
came Sivell with the ball, who
raced over the goal line for his
second tally this season. Fenton
converted the extra point.
' The second touchdown came on
the second play of- the second
quarter, which found Auburn in
possession of the ball in Tech's 27.
Kelly fumbled and recovered aft­er
a three yard loss, and on the
next play Fenton stepped though
a hole opened by Freddie Holman
and then stepped and stiff-armed
his way for the touchdown. He
again converted the extra point.
The final score came as a result
of a 10 play 55 yard march that
featured rugged line play, perfect
timing and fleetness of foot that
left Tech a bit dizzy. Heath bang­ed
the tackles and Kelly punctu­ated
the attack with a quick break­ing
run of 16 yards. Fenton cli­maxed
the flawless drive with a
four yard stab behind Captain
Antley. Fenton adde'd his third
point after the touchdown. Tech
made one serious threat, advancing
the ball to Auburn's four yard
line; but the half ended their only
threat of the game..
The last half turned out to be
a scoreless session as Coach Jack
Meagher substituted his reserves
freely, and they too did a perfect
job of wrecking Tech's offense.
George Wolff, the towering tackle,
was given his chance after Hol­man
was removed from the game
and put up a great fight all the
way.

Classes Excused
To See Team Off
To Rice Game
Jack Adams, head cheerleader,
announced that a short pep ral­ly
Thursday morning at 8:20 a. m.
will serve as the regular pre-game
meeting, usually held on Thursday
night.
Adams petitioned the Executive
Council to excuse classes in order
that the student body might give
those "Fighting Tigers" a roUsing
send-off.
The team leaves around 9:00 a.
m. by buses for Montgomery where
they will board a train for Hous­ton
and the Rice Owls. For the
first time in quite a few years,
Auburn invades the Southwest
for an intersectional game. The
Tigers after two thrilling and im­pressive
victories the past two
week-ends, are all set to take
Rice who is rated as one of the
strongest teams in the Southwest
conference.
AH students will meet their
eight o'clock classes from which
they will be excused twenty
minutes after the hour for the
rally.
Adams requests that all students
gather in front of the main build­ing,
Samford Hall, where the band
and the cheering squad will be
formed.
Scabbard And Blade
To Observe 'Teddy'
Day With Meeting
Cmpanies and Alumni Posts of
the National Society of Scabbard

and Colleges and a number
of our larger cities, will celebrate
Oct. 27, the anniversary of the
birth of former President Theo­dore
Roosevelt, as National Scab­bard
and Blade Day.
Compay 5 Regiment, the local
company at A. P. I., is observing
this event by a special meeting to
be held at 7 o'clock at Benson's.
Among the speakers who will ad

with representatives from
the National Officers and Advis­ory
Council will carry out the an­nual
custom of decorating the
Tomb of the Unknown Soldier at
Arlington Cemetery, Washington,
D. C, in memory of the three
thousand members of their organ­ization
who participated in the
World War. This service was ini­tiated
in 1931 at the suggestion
of H company, 4th regiment, Col­orado
Agricultural College, and
at that time in addition to the
placing of the wreath with at-tenant
ceremonies, a certificate of
honor membership medal, and
plaque bearing the fraternity em­blem
were deposited in the Mem­orial
Museum of the amphithe­atre
at Arlington.
The.National Society of Scabbard
and Blade was founded nearly 34
years ago at the University of
Wisconsin by five cadet officers,
and 5 years ago a Memorial Flag­pole
was erected at that institu­tion
by the National Society in
honor of the Founders. It now has
78 chapters in 45 states and a total
membership of approximately
26,000.

Players To Present
First Production
Tomorrow Night
Auburn Players To Give
Portrayal of "Hedda Gabler"
Tomorrow
Tomorrow evening at 8:15 in
Langdon Hall the Auburn Players
will present their first produc­tion
of the season, the four act
tragedy "Hedda Gabler." A con­temporary
presentation of the
play, which was written in 1890
by Henrik Ibsen and judged to be
the best of his works, will be of­fered.
The plot is closely woven around
the actions of a neurotic selfish
woman, who has an uncontroll­able
craving for power over oth­ers.
The role of Hedda is probab­ly
the most villainous ever to be
portrayed by a member of the
feminine sex on the. stage.
From the time the curtain
rises on the first act till its fall
on the final terrific climax an air
of tension develops as this degen­erate
woman carries out her am­bition
to rule the lives of those
about her. Thinking herself intel­ligent
and sophisticated, she as­sumes
a role while underneath
her mask she is selfish, cruel, and
hard and possesses a code of
morals that are naive and petty.
Her play for power ends in a
way that only Ibsen could por­tray.
The role of Hedda is played by
Carolyn Jones and that of her new
husband, George Tasman, by Daw­son
Mullins. Supporting actors
are Amy Drake as the Aunt Ju­liana,
Mary Carmack as Mrs. Elv-stead,
John Nixon as Judge Brack,
Arthur Elsberry as Eilert Loveborg
(Hedda's newest "flame"), and
Ruth Riddle as the maid, Berta.
Directing the play are Prof. Tel­fair
B. Peet and his assistant,
Miss Margaret Mullins. Attending
to the sets and props are Stage
Manager John Redmond and his
assistants.
Students will be admitted free
upon presentation of their student
activity books at the door; admis­sion
for all others will be twenty-five
cents. There is no reduced
price for children.

Tau Beta Pi Elects Fifteen
Ranking Engineers To Group
Escapade
Five Auburn freshmen with
feeling and spirit galore tried
to carry on the traditional tram
ride to Opeika followed by-a
raid on the local theatre last
Thursday night. They boarded
the tram successfully and took
command of the observation
platform.
The jubilant boys were en­thusiastically
enjoying the ride
when the conductor discovered
them. The conductor asked for
their tickets and the freshmen
declared they had none. Then
the conductor backed by two of
the train force demanded pay­ment
for transportation. The
"rats" replied that they lacked
a dollar of having eighty cents
between them. So the conductor
stopped the tram, which was
approximately half the dis­tance
to Opelika, and ejected
the minatdre freshmen mob.
Disgusted with the small ef­fect
that the freshmen mob
of five produced, the "rats",
after inquiring the direction of
the highway of the conductor,
trekked out across fields and
bob-wire fences. Upon reaching
the highway they caught a ride
back to the "Tiger Village" end­ing
their escapade.
Debate Tournament
Begins Nov. 20
The annual Tau Kappa Alpha
freshman debate tournament is to
be begun on November 20 it was
announced at a meeting of the
Auburn Debate Council Tuesday
afternoon. A considerable num­ber
of freshmen were present at
the Tuesday meeting of the Coun­cil,
which was held especially for
freshmen interested in the tourn­ament.
A number of entries are al­ready
in for the contest and sev­eral
more are expetced. The first
bracket will be drawn up and
printed in The Plainsman some
time next week. Following the
usual custom, there will be two
rounds in the tournament, all teams
debating one side of the question
in the first round and the other
side of the question in the second
round. The winning team is se­lected
by the point system and
not by a process of elimination.
This year Tau Kappa Alpha will
present a cup to each member of
the winning team and a key to
each member of the runner-up
team.
Freshmen who are interested in
the freshman tournament and do
hot have their entries in must
have them in to Prof. Hess at the
L Building by next Monday. This
year's contest promises to be the
largest ever held here and should
prove to be a close one since sev­eral
veteran teams are entered.
So far only one intercollegiate
debate for the freshmen has been
arranged, that being with the
Mercer University frosh some time
in December. However, a number
of other matches are under con­sideration
and there will probab­ly
be a number of freshmen in­tercollegiate
debates here as well
as several on other campuses.
Pre Law Society To Begin

advanced in the field of law.
At the meeting, officers will be
selected, purposes of the society
more fully explained, and defi­nite
plans for the future mapped
out.

More Poll Talk
The Plainsman Opinion Poll will be held
Thursday in a further effort to determine
t h e t r e n d s of student thought upon certain
m a t t e r s which we think should receive
some consideration. It is hoped by those
conducting the poll that they will re­ceive
the full cooperation of the student
body in that they will cast their ballots
and give conscientious consideration to
each of the matters included upon the
ballot.
I t was hoped that enough interest would
• be aroused that some of t h e students would
suggest questions which would have a
p e r t i n e n t value to a poll being held to
determine the attitudes towards certain
institutions. We did not necessarily expect
communication from anyone concerning
those things which we had already plan­ned
to include upon the ballot. But with
t h e prospects of such an opinions poll be­i
n g held, we did expect to receive some
suggestions which would deserve a place
in the polling. We did not receive a single
suggestion or any communication of any
sort concerning the measures which we
had suggested or anything else which
might be included. It is indeed unfortunate
t h a t such an attitude, one . which is ap­p
a r e n t l y indicative of an entire lack of
i n t e r e s t in any campus affairs, should ex­ist
at an institution where the calibre of
t h e students is supposed to be as high as
those a r e of Auburn.
To satisfy the vanity of those connected
with the Plainsman, we are asking on the
ballot whether you favor the new stream­lined
style w h i c h ' t h e paper has adopted
t h i s year. When the n ew heads went into
office they deemed it expedient to do
something about the appearance of the
paper which is, in the modern journalistic
circles, considered antiquated and which
does not serve th e newspaper expectations
of the reader today. We have received
some criticism which was of a somewhat
u l t e r i o r nature, but we wished to. get a
more concrete consensus of opinion.
In the nature of a news unique there
exists in the state of Alabama the situa­tion
of t h e only s t a t e in t h e union in which
t h e r e are two schools which have abso­l
u t e l y no athletic relations. Of course,
you all know that those two schools are
Auburn and the University. It has been
publicized that the two schools should re­sume
athletic relations, but for some rea­son
or another nothing has been done about
t h e matter. It appears on t h e surface that
both schools are in favor of the resuming
of the relations.
I t was only a short while previous that
a l i t t l e trouble was on t h e verge of arous­ing
ill feelings between the inmates of the
two institutions. But this can be overlook­ed
because of the origin of the trouble-making
material, even though it did come
from a student at Auburn. Most anyone
would agree that it was not a t r u e ex­ponent
of the Auburn spirit. Anyway,
t h r o u g h proper action, the unfortunate
incident was attended to i n ' t h e most grace­ful
manner possible, and no ill feelings
were aroused. This ought to be indicative
of t h e possibility of friendly relations with
t h e University and the wishes of the two
to cooperate in practically any matters
which might arise in which t h e two schools
a r e involved. It is all j u s t a m a t t e r of be­i
n g level headed. If the expression of the
Auburn student's sentiments w a r r a n t s such
action, this paper will gladly inaugurate
a campaign which will have for its pur­pose
the reinstatement of these athletic
relations and the fostering of any other
friendly intercourse.
It is hoped t h a t t h e proper spirit will be
used by the students in their making use
of this poll. The results will be somewhat
indicative of the a t t i t u d e of the students
employed towards Auburn and for what
i t stands.
A Needed Move
There are a great many honor societies
and organizations on the campus that,
working separately, do notable things for
t h e school and students. Is it not therefore
reasonable to assume that if the societies
worked together a great deal more could be
done?
I n the past and, to a certain extent, at
present, organizations whose fields over­lap
have been somewhat at odds with each
other. There has been strife about the men
selected, the events sponsored, and the
ideas introduced. This strife has given rise
to jealousy, h a r d feeling, and shady meth­ods
of action.
The organization of a group resembling
t h e Interfraternity Council and taking
as its members representatives of the
various societies would bring about har­mony
and unity of action. The fields in
which each organization should work sepa­r
a t e l y could be defined and the issues of
cooperative action could be decided upon.
Such events as an "A" Day bigger than
any yet attempted, student talent nights,
b e t t e r pep rallies, and spirit shows could
be sponsored by the group. They would
b r i n g about closer cooperation between
t h e students and the members of the hon­or
societies. Better understanding would
t a k e the place of strife if such a Campus
Council were organized.
The Subjected South
The plight of the South is unfortunate.
Throughout its history it has been forced
to play second fiddle to t h e North because
of the exploitation of Northern capitalists
and politicians. Today as t h e " r e b e l " states
seek to rear their heads and assert them­selves,
t h e national p i c t u r e is again thrown
into a turmoil.
Early in history Northern slave traders
brought their black cargoes to Southern
shores and sold t h em to the planters. Lat­er
a Northern proclamation freed the
slaves and Northern troops defeated the
valiant Confederates who sought to pro­tect
their rights. Then carpetbaggers from
t h e North came to, h u m i l i a t e and exploit
t h e war-shaken Southerners.
When the depredations of the carpet­baggers
and scalawags became intolerable,
the Ku Klux Klan was organized to re­store
l aw and order. Posing as members
of the masked band, the unscrupulous
Northerners committed acts for which the
Klan was blamed. Those acts gave rise to
t h e conception of horror with which the
organization is regarded.
Out of the subjection of military rule
and political maneuvering in defeating
Tilden for President, the South emerged
a powerful political unit. "The solid South"
became t h e cry in campaigns. Going Dem­ocratic
in all t h e elections, t h e South came
to be disregarded by Democratic presidents
and punished by Republican presidents. A
l i t t le uncertainty about Southern votes
would have altered t h e picture.
Today, t h e South furnishes many of the
national leaders, the president is giving
her consideration, and her industries are
g e t t i n g beyond the exploitation stage. Nor­t
h e r n politicians are afraid of the increas­ing
power of the South, capitalists jealous
of the government's help of Southern in­dustry—
so they yell "Klu Klux" in an ef­fort
to keep the South out of her right
place as a leader of t h e nation.

Dear Sir:
In devouring the contents of the last issue

in the Student Forum which was written by
some individual with a decidedly perverted
sense of humor who termed himself "Fruit­cake."
In his epistle he griped loudly about
the vernacular employed by the students in
this great institution. Particularly did he de­plore
the use of "binge" and "bender".
For the education of this poor, benighted
lad I should take great pleasure in showing
him the light. It is beyond the sphere of my
comprehension how he ever arrived at the
status of a college student without coming -

The farm control program issue gave Mr.
Roosevelt his first real test. He wants crop
control; he has made his view on this clear
on numerous occasions. But he refuses to let
his emotions overpower his pledge to keep
the budget within bounds this year.
Roosevelt bluntly warned Congress that
"whatever goes out, must be balanced by an
equivalent amount coming in." In other words,
if appropriations for crop control are made,
they must be backed by an equal amount of
incoming tax revenue.

in the proposed stadium construction; men
and machines are rapidly converting "Vet
Valley" into Auburn Bowl.
For years Auburn students have been hear­ing
about the new stadium that is to be built
. . . . next year. The project has been started
and stopped a number of. times, but now our
dreams look as though they are coming true.
Dr. Duncan and your able cohorts, we
students are behind you 100 per cent on the
stadium proposition and admire you for: the
progress that is being made as a result of
your efforts.
The stadium will be a great asset to Au­burn

need of long standing.

a first class fair weather friend. Like in oth­er
years, when Auburn tied a couple of tough
teams and Alabama ran away with a couple
of teams of lesser strength, the countenance
of this particular sportspage began to look
different. Auburn headlines, pictures and
feature stories became scarce indeed, and high
school stories were given as much if not more
consideration than Auburn.
Maybe scores like 33 to 7 and 21 to 0 will
convince this paper that Auburn has a real
ball club and deserves an even break with
other schools on their sportspages.

Discourse About
Southern Speech
One having a Southern accent
should not blame—or credit—the
Negro, but, to be sure, England.
Such is the contribution of Prof.
James B. McMillan, brother of
Knox McMillan, as the result of
his finding in a paper read before
the University Research Council,
and embracing the results of sever­al
months study of linguistic ten­dencies.
McMillan finds that there is
"absolutely no evidence" of Negro
influence on Southern pronunci­ation,
but newly-discovered facts
indicate that Southern dialect is
derived . mainly from Southern
British provincial dialects spoken
by people who settled in the Deep
South.
Several words and pronuncia­tions
were cited, all of which oc­curred
in Southern England and
"some of which occurred in no
other regions."
Among these were mentioned
"consarn" for "concern", "bile"
for "boil" and "spile" for "spoil."
These pronunciations, being
standard in England during the
period Alabama and Georgia were
settled, were brought to the United
States by English settlers.
Professor McMillan used the
writings of Johnson Jones Hooper,

Opelika Bottling Co.

By HOWARD WORKMAN
It was Auburn Day at the Lee
County Fair in Opelika—soon aft­er
the noon hour the Opelika
corner for hitchhikers began to
fill with students whose protrud­ing
thumbs and plaintive calls
accosted every passing car. The
gesticulating group gradually de­pleted
by sympathetic motorists
was replenished by new recruits
rushing to the corner from after­noon
classes.
As the more fortunate travel-bums
arrived in Opelika, they be­gan
the second leg of their journey
—the somewhat dusty route to
the fair grounds. Walking in dis­connected
groups down the city
streets, they made fruitless at­tempts
to catch rides and, resigned
to the walk, trudged on.
Glimpses of billowing tent tops,
the rotating ferris wheel, and the
circling merry-go-round, noise of
raucous barkers, excited specta­tors,
and the screaming calliope
brought about a final sprint for
the gateway. Pausing momentar­ily
to deal with the gate-keepers,
the expectant students rushed past
the exhibits, out into the mael­strom
of milling fair-goers, and,
almost with one accord, began
their search for the famed~Carioca
show.
The rumble of a makeshift drum
and a barker's shout brought an
end to their quest and they gath­ered
to await the opening of the
show. As the speiler finished his
colorful speech, the students surg­ed
forward to fill the front seats.
Dancers came, danced, and went
their way: The show ended and
the disappointed hitchhikers em­erged
to see the fair.
A wailing siren called them to
the death-defying motorcycle show
a bellowing monster called them
to the reptile show, drums and
whistles called them to the freak
show, the model show, the Patsy-in-
a-fish bowl show, the fat lady
show, girls called them to knock
down milk bottles, and shysters
called them to gamble—the be­wildered
students separated.
Some of them went to ride on
the ferris wheel, the chair-o-ride,
the roller coaster, the whip, or
the high-low. Others gathered fas­cinated
around, spinning wheels,
rolling balls, and rattling dice to
watch their money fill the sharp­ers'
tills. A few made attempts to
ring pegs with quoits, to knock
over prizes with stopper guns or
to hit the painted African dodger
with baseballs with the hope of
winning gaudy statues, kewpie
dolls, and cheap toys.
The weary sat on stools hope­fully
placing kernels of corn on
bingo cards, while the more alert
shot rifles for the jack-pot at the
shooting gallery. Circling like
hawks, students hunting good set­ups
incessantly fed nickels into
the iron claw machines in an ef­fort
to pick up silver dollars.
Jubilant shouts of the lucky spur­red
them to reach deeper and
deeper into their pockets.
While some posed for three-for-a-
dime snapshots, others waited
for the nimble seamstress to sew
their names on pennants. The more
reserved" students paced about in
the bedlam undecided as to what
to do. Dashing in and out in the
crowd were those afraid they were
missing some attraction.
As the day turned to dusk, count­less
lights on poles, in tents, and
on. strings flashed on. Hungry
Auburnites gathered at the camp
kitchen and American Legion con­cession
for .steaming coffee, ham­burgers,
and hot dogs. Some of
the students with shallow pockets
munched disconsolately on pop
corn and peanuts.
Finishing the hurried snack, the
students again sallied forth to see
the fair, but this time at a notice­ably
slower pace. Long before
time for the fireworks and free
acts, they were mere spectators.
They gathered in talking groups
near the safety net of the trapeze
to wait for the finale of their day
1840-50 period, in illustration of
his study.
He further states that the evi­dence
that he has gathered tends
to disprove the assertion that
"Southern speech simply preserves
17th century standard English,"
which led to the popular myth
that "the purest Elizabethan
English is spoken in the Southern
backwoods." The English spoken
is actually that of Southern Eng­land.
at the fair.
At length, clad in worn, dirty
tights, the men of the flying tra­peze
came to do their unapplauded
acts. Then the boom of a dago
bomb overhead told the ^tiring
students that the fireworks were
beginning. Vari-colored flares cas­caded
in the blue of the dark sky,
while on the "ground pin wheels
spun with their dazzling brillance.
Captive rockets shot back and
forth, Niagra Falls poured down
its shimmering torrent, multi-col­ored
battleships shot red, green,
and blue bombs at each other, the
donkey and elephant rocked on
the see-saw, and the crowd ohed
and ahed at the breath-faking
spectacle. Finally, with the roar
of bombs and flash of flares, the
red, white, and blue of the flag
burst into a flaming picture in the
night. A roar of applause broke
from the crowd and the students
made their way to the gate.
Pausing on the way out, the
hitch-hikers threw their last pen­nies
at shallow saucers trying to
win the price of a soda and, broke,
walked on to the Auburn corner.
There the motley group bedecked
with ridiculous hats and carrying
their gaudy prizes, the students
stood with thumbs protruding ac­costing
every car that passed. Cries
of "Auburn" "ride your rumble/'
and "take one" broke the still of
the night. They had been to the
fair and now were going home.

Liberal Arts School Has
Largest Enrollment
According to Mr. C. W. Ed­wards,
registrar of Alabama Poly­technic
Institute, the enrollment of
students in the school of Science
and Literature exceeds all previous
enrollments with a total of 549
students. This number includes
96 women students.
Last year the total enrollment
in Science and Literature was
only 528, including 68 women
students.
Of this year's 549 students in
Science and Literature, there are
367 in business and public ad­ministration,
ten in pre-denistry,
26 in pre-law, 54 in pre-med, and
92 in general courses.
Among the students in Science
and Literature this year are 197
freshmen, which is a decrease from
last year's 207 freshmen. However,
the total number of students in
Science and Literature this year
is larger, Mr. Edwards says, be­cause
of the large number of
transfers from other schools.

The Top Minnow is a very use­ful
animal according to Prof. Guy­ton.
It has a habit of making a
meal off of mosquitoes in their
various stages of development.
This fish also has a method of re­production
very unusual among
fishes. It gives birth to living
young.
The tallest fish story related
by Prof. Guyton upon his return
is that of finding a salt water

Corn Creek near Brewton. As
Brewton is close to a hundred miles

After a mental check-up the
referee raised both arms to signal
a touchdown for there were no
regulations that made the play
illegal. The scoreboard changed,
the crowd yelled, and the sports

members of the procession were
all "parachute-shaped" jellyfish,
Prof. Guyton explained.
The procession reminded the
party of Fairyland as the fish
floated by, but contact with one
of them would no doubt have
brought thoughts of a far different
place. Each of the small creatures
possesses tentacles filled with
stinging cells which shooot out
like arrows when coming in con­tact

Dean Addresses
Kappa Delta Pi
Kappa Delta Pi, honorary edu­cational
fraternity, held its regu­lar
meeting Monday night, with
Dean Zebulon Judd being prin­cipal
speaker. Grady Randolph,
president, presided over the meet­ing.
Drawing from his own store
of knowledge, Dean Judd address­ed
the group on "Relationships of
the Teacher and the Community,"
illustrating his talk with concrete
examples of teachers and their
contacts and those who are in ac­tive
service in the educational
field over the state.
The remainder of the period
was given oyer to business dis­cussion,
wherein the chapter voted
to assist in sponsoring the lecture
which is to be given here by
Monsieur Frederix next week.
Prof. Edna Orr, councilor, an­nounced
the programs for the re­mainder
of the year. The next
general meeting will be held on
Nov. 8, it was announced. This
meeting will be a joint session
of the fraternity "and the Education
School faculty. Dr. Paul Irvine
will discuss the "Contributions of
Educational Sociology to Teacher
Education."
Only Two Weeks Left
To Take Pictures
This morning it "was announced
by the Glomerata Staff that Don
Johnson, the Glomerata Photogra­pher,
will be in Auburn making
Glomerata pictures for only two
more weeks.
At five o'clock yesterday after­noon
according to Morris Hall,
1763 students had been photo­graphed.
Out of this number only
300 Seniors were represented. This
means that within the next two
weeks 250 Seniors will have to
report to Student Hall and have
this matter attended to if they ex­pect
their picture to appear in the
1938 Glomerata.
The Junior, Sophomore and
Freshman classes are each about
200 short, of the enrolled number
in each class, but it is hoped that
these will have their picture made
before it is too late.
Due to the fact that this picture
is already paid for, the Glome­rata
Staff feels that this additional
warning should be given. As was
stated by Morris Hall, Editor and
Jarvis Brown, Business Manager,
"Due to the fact that this year
there are more students enrolled
at Auburn than ever before, the
1938 Glomerata promises to be the
largest edition the Auburn Stu­dents
have ever put out. We sin­cerely
hope that every Student
will see to it that his picture h
.in it."

week, and a number of close and
hard games featured the battles

many of the scheduled games have
been played.
Competition for the loving cups
has been keen, and the teams

Cup To Be Awarded
Ag Scholar By Group
A scholarship cup is to be given
by the Alpha Gamma Rho fratern­ity
to the freshman in agriculture
that has the highest scholastic
standing for the year.
The cup will be put on display
in Comer Hall by Nov. 1 and will
remain there for the entire year.
This will be a permanent posses­sion
of the freshman winning it
and will be given at the begin­ning
of next year and each follow­ing
year. As each cup is given away
it will be replaced by another one
as this is to be an annual affair
of the Alpha Gamma Rho's.
The purpose of giving this cup
is to encourage scholarship for the
entire freshman class. This award
will be one of the highest, if not
the highest, honors that a fresh­man
in agriculture can hope to
attain. Any freshman taking agri­culture
science, agricultural edu­cation,
agricultural administration
or agricultural engineering is eli­gible
for the' cup.
