May Queen
Oh, Why Be I n England When We H a v e May Queens Here!
EDITH CECIL CARSON is the lovely May Queen who will reign
over the Spring Festival to be sponsored by Sphinx and the Auburn
Players. She was chosen Wednesday by the co-eds in a special
election at the Student Center.
Edith Cecil Carson Named May Queen By
Co-Eds In Special Election Wednesday
Edith Cecil Carson, blonde beauty from Montgomery
and the Kappa Delta nominee for May Queen, was chosen
at the election sponsored by the Sphinx women's honor society
Wednesday.
Running a close second was Ruby Pitts of Auburn, the
Chi Omega's choice, who trailed the winner by seven votes.
Two hundred and four students cast votes in this election,
which was slated early in the year in order that a picture
of the May Queen and her attendants might appear in the
Glomerata.
The other candidates, who will serve as attendants to
Miss Carson are: Woodrow Kilgore, Weogufka, Phi Omega
Pi; Eleanor Wright, Dothan, Alpha Gamma Delta; Helen
Porch, Alexander City, Theta Upsilon; and Jane Billingsley,
Verbena, the independent's candidate.
Miss Carson is the daughter of the Rev. Dr. Herbert
Carson of Montgomery. She is a junior in commercial art,
and a transfer from Montevallo College. Last year Miss
Carson was chosen as one of the six beauties for the Glomerata
Beauty Section and was a candidate for Miss Auburn.
She will succeed Sadie Edwards, who reigned as May Queen
last year.
The Spring Festival is to be sponsored by the Sphinx,
assisted by the Auburn Players. Present members of Sphinx
include Sara Lee Banks, Jane Billingsley, Virginia Holcombe,
Katherine Quattlebaum, Doris White, Woodrow Kilgore,
Frances Wilson, Ann McRee, June Tooker, and Mary George
Lamar, faculty adviser.
The purpose of the society is to recognize girls outstanding
in leadership, scholarship, personality, and service. Its
object is to encourage these qualities in girls on the campus.
Members are tapped second semester from the junior
class. The society also sponsors Oracles, freshman woman's
honor society. Members for the latter will be tapped within
a few weeks, and will include all freshman girls achieving
an average of 85 or above.
Last year the organization also presented a scholarship
cup to the sophomore girl making the highest average for
two years, and started a precedent by presenting a cup to the
sorority winner at the Spring Sing last year.

Two Tough Tiger
Teams Tussle
Tomorrow
Real Battle Is Expected In
Magic City Tomorrow; Both
Teams I n Good Shape
By John Watters
For the past week now the cry
"On to Birmingham" and sweet
revenge for last year's 9 to 7 defeat
by L. S. U. has been the
general topic of conservation here
on the campus. As usual this game
promises more in the way of hard
football, showmanship and what
we might term just general football
atmosphere, than any other
game this season. Before two o'clock
game time Saturday out at
Legion Field, Auburn students
will toe flocking into the Magic
City for this great classic. If advance
ticket sales tell the story
correctly, then more people will
see Auburn play this Saturday
than have seen her play in some
little while.
Preparations have been begun
to make the pre-game Georgia
bonfire to be held next week
one of the biggest in the school's
history. It is planned to hold the
bonfire near the same spot
where it was held year before
last between the L Building
and Ramsay.
All persons who know where
there are supplies of wood of
any kind that are available
are requested to call the Plainsman
office. Arrangements will
be made for getting it to the
site of the fire.
Anyone who cares to deliver
any wood to the bonfire can
stack it next to the L Building
close to the site of the fire.
When that Auburn Tiger from
the Plains stalks the Bengal from
the Ole War Skule a terrific battle
always ensues. This battle
promises to be no exception, and
a real clawing contest should develop
with the claws of the L. S.
U. Bengal decidely sharper now
that Young Bussey is back in
harness. The Auburn Tiger should
be bolstered too in the line, with
the veterans Hatch Howell and
Junie Burns ready to perform.
This new advantage in the line is
offset to some extent by the loss
of Ralph O'Gwynne, who injured
his ankle in the Villanova game
in Philadelphia. All season O'Gwynne
has been unusually effective
in staving off enemy attacks
through the air and against
a team as potent in the air as the
Ole War Skule, he would have
been very useful. The pass combination
of Bussey to Kavan-naugh
will be harder than ever to
stop now that he is on the sidelines.

Alumni And Students Staging
Pre-Game Parade Tomorrow
The LSU game parade will begin at the Terminal Station
in Birmingham at 11:30 o'clock Saturday morning, shortly
after the train from Auburn arrives.
The "Great Auburn Band" will lead the parade, which
will consist of approximately 250 alumni cars, about 100 student
cars, and an army of students and loyal Auburn supporters
on foot.
In a letter to the Plainsman, Joe Pate, Birmingham alumnus
in charge of parade arrangements announced the following
plans for the lining up of cars: automobiles will be
lined up starting on 25 Street and Fifth Avenue North and
extending northward on 25 Street toward Sixth Avenue.
As the band marches down Fifth Avenue, the automobiles
will follow.
The parade will end in front of the Redmont Hotel
where there will be a pep session under the direction of
Headcheerleadr Charlie O'Reilly.
Mr. Pate requests that all Auburn students who live
in Birmingham, and who have access to automobiles decorate
their cars and have them at the terminal station at 11 o'clock,
at it will take some time to line up the cars in such a
way as to prevent congestion.
The parade promises to be the largest and most colorful
one ever staged by Auburn. Birmingham merchants are cooperating
in every way with the alumni, and many have
placed "Welcome Auburn" signs in their windows. A number
of them have planned special features for their guests.
Auburn Cavaliers To Play For Dance
In Birmingham After Game Tomorrow
The popular Auburn Cavaliers, under the direction of
Skeets Morris, will play for the "A" Club dance following
the LSU game Saturday night on the terrace of the Jefferson
Davis Hotel in Birmingham'.
The affair will begin at 9 p. m. and will feature the cabaret
effect of the ballroom and its adjoining banquet hall.
Auburn fraternal organizations will occupy tables in these
two rooms.
Tickets for the dance are one dollar.
The Cavaliers, who played for a tea dance yesterday
afternoon, have just returned from a six-months tour of the
East, during which time they played at the opening dances
of many schools.
The Auburn Cavaliers, who still carry the name of the
college where they originated, will give the school some good
publicity in Birmingham, according to Johnnie Davis, Pres-dent
of the "A" Club. "Auburn should be proud of the fact
that the band has retained its original name," he said.
Connie Moore, girl vocalist, formerly with Frank Dailey's
orchestra, will sing with the band. Added entertainment is
furnished by a comedy quartet, "The Swinging Gate," and
solos by members of the band.
'LSU Money Or Auburn Spirit' Is Warcry
As Students Stage Pep Rally For Team
The Great Auburn Band led a crowd of enthusiastic
Auburn students in a parade down College Street last night.
Returning to Langdon Hall, students were greeted with
a stage lined with freshmen holding signs which read as
follows: "Eat Up That Bayou Tiger," "Their Tiger is Caged,
Ours is Running Wild," "L. S. U. Money or Auburn Spirit,"
and "The World Loves a Cheerful Giver—Give 'em Hell,
Auburn."
Coach Dell Morgan introduced three varsity players,
Osmo Smith, Getty Fairchild, and Gus Pearson, each of
whom expressed the idea that in spite of the loss of last
week, the team would be "ready" for L. S. U.
Freshman Coach Buddy McCollum introduced four freshman
players, James Samford, Vic Costellos, Rufus Deal, and
Francis Crimmins.
Assisting Charlie O'Reilly and his pep squad was "Flash"
Flowers, last year's sophomore cheerleader, who is to be
back on the squad next season.
SPE's Assume Interfraternity Touch
Football Throne By Win Over Snakes
SPE fraternity, by virtue of a 12 to 0 win over the Sigma
Nu boys, this week won the championship of the fraternity
division in touch football. The SPE's had defeated the KA's
25 to 13 in their first play-off game, and the Sigma Nu's had
beaten the PiKA's 6 to 0.
The PiKA's won the loser's play-off with a 7 to 0 win
over the KA's.
The independent leaders, Thach, Wittel, Terrell, and
Rew's Wildcats are expected to finish their play this week.
Duke Ellington and his band, originally scheduled to
appear at the Birmingham "A" Club dance, will not be there,
as his contract has been cancelled.

Kryl
It is infrequent that outstanding symphonies
travel through Auburn, as the city is not
usually considered big enough for a performance
to profit from an appearance here.
However, Bohumir Kryl is one of the greatest
conductors in the field of music today.
And he is coming to Auburn this month. His
trip here will offer to all students an opportunity
to attend a performance of one of the
greatest symphonic orchestras of today, and
will offer several outstanding individual artists.
All students will be permitted to attend
the concert at an astoundingly low
rate, for the performance is one of the several
attractions on the concert course this
year.
Students can accomplish two things by attending
the concert. Not only will an evening
of truly great music be enjoyed, but also
those attending will aid a worthy cause.
By attending the concert students can show
that they are truly interested in cultural performances.
Such first-class entertainment is probably
more beneficial to a person than some featured
movie which excites imagination and
distorts perspective. An occasional symphony
will aid immeasurably in making Auburn
students a more well-rounded group of informed
citizens.
Welfare Conference
In Birmingham on November 21 the Southern
Conference for Human Welfare will
convene. Its purpose will be to discuss the
problems of the South—tenancy, social problems,
soil erosion, and all the other numerous
shortcomings, particularly those outlined
in the much-publicized "National Emergency
Council Report on Economic Conditions
of the South."
Present at the Conference will be speakers
and leaders in numerous fields from all
parts of the nation, as well as the many from
the South.
Auburn students should get a report on
the proceedings and discussion of this learned
group. The problems which will be discussed
in Birmingham are the problems
which Auburn students are going to be up
against in a very few years.
A student delegate from Auburn should
be present at the Conference. He can observe
what goes on there and bring back to
the students here a report on the problems
which are theirs and the South's. One organization
has already endorsed the plan of
the school's sending an official student representative
and some of the administrative
officials are known to be in favor of it.
The next move is up to those whose duty
it is to see that such matters are properly
handled.
Jiggs Still A Hero
A little pot-bellied Irishman with a flaming
thatch of red hair and a shrewish wife
still holds the place of honor in America's
most widely read comic section after 27
years of service in the nation's laugh marts.
Jiggs is not the oldest comic character;
neither is he the most popular with Americans
today. But for a record of continued
success, year after year, the funnies have no
one who can even approach him.
Jiggs came into existence midway in the
period of strictly 'gag' strips. Late in the
11890's, the first comic, known as the Yellow
Kid of Hogan's Alley, appeared in Joseph
Pulitzer's New York World, and soon afterwards
the New York Journal first presented
the Katzenjammer Kids. They were followed
near the turn of the century by F. B.
Opper's Happy Hooligan and Maud the
Mule. Then, in 1907, Bud Fisher published
the first edition of Mutt and Jeff, and five
years later Polly, Paw, Maw, and Ashur
came from the pen of Cliff Sterrett. That
same year, Jiggs was born.
These were the days of straight "gag"
strips, complete in every issue, and professional
funny men were in their glory. But
in the early twenties arose a new sort of
comic, the "continuity" strip. Sentimental
strips like Orphan Annie and melodramatic
ones like Dick Tracy began to appear, and
a decline in the "gag" strips set in. Today,
the Katzenjammer Kids and Polly and Her
Pals have been relegated to the rear part
of Hearst's Comic Weekly Puck, and no longer
do we find Mutt and Jeff, Happy Hooligan,
and Maud in the pages of our favorite
papers.
But not so with Jiggs. In a poll conducted
last year by Fortune Magazine, Jiggs led
all gag strips in popularity with American
readers, and only three continuities, Orphan
Annie, Popeye, and Dick Tracy, surpassed
him. Today, he has an estimated 100,000,000
readers in 71 countries, holds the front page
of the Comic Weekly, and his creator, George
McManus, is the top man in the gigantic
King Feature Syndicate.
What is the secret of Jiggs' popularity?
Perhaps it is his frankness which endears
him most to the American mind. The average
American detests the sham and pretence of
"society" and Jiggs' utter boredom with convention
delights him no end. And Jiggs, for
all his meekness in dealing with shrewish
Maggie, possesses a sound stock of American
common sense.
Foreigners like Jiggs for different reasons.
In South America they call him "Don Pan-cho,"
and consider it uproarious that a man
should be bossed by his wife. In England
they like him as the incarnation of "those
funny Americans." Even in Japan and China
Jiggs is popular, though they feed him rice
cakes over there instead of corned beef and
cabbage. J.H.W.
"LSU Needs Cleanincr Too
Get In Line Or Get Out
No one has ever joined a club or a social
or fraternal organization without first
swearing to abide by the rules of such a
group. No one draws cards in a poker game
without first buying chips.
We hold no brief either for or against teachers,
but we have little sympathy with
those teachers who periodically become violently
agitated over taking an oath of allegiance,
regarding it as a curtailment of
their academic freedom. At the same time
they enthusiastically support any movement
to secure Federal funds for the erection
of new schools, adult education, and
other educational purposes.
Surely this is an inconsistency, for the
basis of their objection to taking the oath
is that it makes them accountable to the government.
Just as long as we remain a democracy
the government, if it chooses, has
a right to insist that teachers subscribe to
that form of government. Academic freedom
is one thing, but the right of teachers to indoctrinate
children with their personal political
beliefs is quite another. There are
many who believe that teachers possess no
such right, any more than they possess the
right to impress their religious views on
pupils.
Any teacher who finds the Constitution of
the United States so opposed to his notion
of what a government ought to be that he
cannot conscientiously support it, should find
another field in which to promote his ideas.
But so long as he is in the employ of the
State, the State has the right to insist that
he subscribe outwardly, at least, to our
form of government.
We cannot see in what way this requirement
threatens academic freedom, unless by
academic freedom is meant a total disregard
of any duty that a citizen owes the state.

The Beta Theta Pi fraternity at
the University of Syracuse has
adopted a novel "rushee identification"
system. As the rushees
enter the fraternity house, they
are ushered into a special room
where they fill out cards of information
which are filed for future
use. Their pictures are snapped
with a candid camera, developed
at once, and attached to each
individual file card. When the
discussion of pledges comes up
their pictures are available for
any member who cannot recall the
rushee in question. During formal
rushing the picture is placed before
the rushee's plate to serve
as a place card.

Dear Sir:
It has been my understanding
that the library was a place to go
when one wishes to do research
work or study. My understanding
wias either erroneous or there
are some freshman co-eds who do
not know what the library is intended
to be used for.
They make it a nocturnal student
center in which they chew
gum, gossip, and last, though far
from least, court.
Now don't get me wrong. There
is no other freshman who would
crane his neck more in order to
view a shapely girl than myself.
However, there's a time and a
place for all things. Isn't there
some other place where the above
functions can be carried on as
well or better than the place
where someone wishes to concentrate?

Co-ed's Prayer
By John Raven Jumpson
Respirates there a man
Around about
This university
Of sufficient
Restraint and coolness
To limit his demands
Not just requests
But demands
And say "Good time,
Good-bye"
Just holding hands—
Who has the gentility
To wait
Until at least a
Second date
To reach a warm
Romantic state,
Before Tomorrow
By John Godbold
TUESDAY'S ELECTION serves
as an effective warning to
Democrats that the pendulum is
swinging away from them and
liberalism to the Republicans and
conservatism.
The G. O. P. gained over seventy
seats in the House and at
least eight in the Senate, but the
Democrats are still soundly entrenched.
However, the Republican
gains mean that it will be more
difficult to get New Deal legislation
through Congress.
Most remarkable race of all was
run by Thomas E. Dewey in New
York state, who lost by about
70,000 votes out of nearly five
million. And Dewey is 36 years
old, making his initial bid for
state office, and was opposed by
one of the most popular governors
New York has had.
The question now is, what do
the elections show as a barometer
of the political storm-scene which
will foe enacted in 1940? Will the
swing toward less conservative
policies go so far in two years
that the next president will be a
Republican? We believe that will
depend almost entirely on how
the Democratic party conducts itself
during the next two years. It
must tread very softly. But only
time will tell.

THE WAGES AND HOURS
BILL which has only recently
gone into effect in the South is
still being cursed by a few—the
few who cannot see that a man
deserves a wage which will enable
him to live in decency and hours
which will enable him to enjoy
his life to at least a small extent.
On the first day that the bill
went into effect a few sawmills,
peanut-shelling plants, and similar
low-wage industries in the South
closed, their argument being that
they could not pay the wages required
by law. Screaming to high
heaven, owners of sweat-shops industries
blamed the government
for their plight. They blamed a
government which simply has
stepped in and said, "This laborer
is a human being. You must
treat him as such."
If an industry cannot pay a living
wage there is little justification
for its existence. Of course,
low prices of the products which
it is producing may make the industry
suffer at present. However,
it is only logical to suppose
that the resultant curtailed production
will ultimately bring a-bout
higher prices for the product
and enable the industry to pay living
wages without difficulty.
Some large-scale manufacturers
and industrialists, too, have opposed
wage-hours legislation. They
sit in their comfortable homes or
warm offices and mutter, "We
can't pay wages that high. It will
hurt our business." Yes, it may
hurt your business. But there are
men who are hungry, cold, ill-clad,
living little better than animals
because the industry in
which they work pays too meager
a wage.
This opinion is biased, you may
say. Maybe it is, biased in favor
of those who have not instead of
those who have. A bias which
says that if a sacrifice must foe
made let it be made on the side
Where it can be afforded—where
it has never been made before.
Even every dog has his day.
Let the common worker have his,
and if his employer refuses to
give it to him, the government is
right in stepping in and seeing
that justice is done.
* » *
I think that I shall never see
A party like the G. O. P.
A crowd whose loving hearts is
pressed
So close to Wall Street's golden
breast.
A crowd whose loving heart is
day
And lifts its oily head to prey.
A crowd that now all coyly wear
The DuPont's sunflower in their
hair.
A crowd that courts an evil fate
That intimately lives in hate.
Columns are made by fools like
me,
But only Hearst can make the
G. O. P.
And give a girl
Some preparation
Before expecting
Osculation
At least an hour in
Length and duration?
If such there be,
Go mark him well
I'll date the guy
And make him tell
Me what the hell
He had for dinner
That makes him so sick.

Vols Of Tennessee Continue Their March
As Top Team In Southeastern Conference
As football teams all over the
nation muster their forces for the
last drive down through November,
the Volunteers of Tennessee
loom powerful enough to continue
their march to the figurative
throne of the Southeastern Conference.
Their last major test comes
this week-end with the men of

what will be the standout battle
in the Conference, and possibly
in the nation. Tennessee is heavily
favored, but Ray Morrison always
has plenty of tricks up his
sleeve, so the Vols will probably
have plenty of trouble in Nashville
tomorrow.
However, there will be several
other real football games between
Conference members. The Alabama-
Georgia Tech affair should
provide plenty of thrills, witness
last year's thriller, with the Crimson
Tide favored to wash over the
Jackets. Georgia and Tulane meet
in New Orleans with the Greenies
in the favorite's seat. Ole Miss and
the Purple Tigers of little Sewa-nee
tie up in Oxford with the Tigers
in their usual role of underdog.
Then of course there is the
classic between our own Auburn
Tigers and the Tigers of L. S. U.
tomorrow in Birmingham. There
is nothing at stake in the way of
conference championships, so both
teams will unlimber their heavy

Notre Dame Team

Decisive Victory Over Navy
Places Them In Lead
With A Score Of 97.5
Football has come a long way
since that day Rutgers first beat
Princeton back in 1869. Perfections
have been adopted throughout
the country by the most obscure,
as well as the most prominent
college elevens. There is no
fore-telling in what game some
David will topple some mighty
Goliath.
Last week teams which had won
a game this season bopped undefeated
squads. Teams on the bottom
of their conference came up
to trounce circuit leaders.
That topsy-turvy week of giant-killing
gave the Williamson System
its lowest rating in six seasons
of forecasting games for
newspapers. The over-all rating
for the week was 80 per cent, and
81.1 per cent not counting upsets-ting
ties. Only once before did
the System drop below 85 per
cent in efficiency and that was
fraction over 84 per cent.
Out of that week-end Notre
Dame, picked in a pre-season
forecast by Williamson as a likely
pennant winner, emerged at
the top of the national list. The
Irish blanked the Navy 15 to 0 for
an earned rating of 97.5.

City Saturday to face Coach Jack
Meagher's four times defeated but
one time really outplayed eleven.
On the basis of this comparison
L. S. U. would rule a big favorite,
but actually the teams will
line up very nearly even with Auburn
slightly the underdog. However,
anyone who has followed the
fortunes of the Auburn football
team will know that "underdog"
has never been classed as an
epithet as far as the Auburn Tiger
is concerned. Some experts
are of the opinion that Auburn's
two touchdowns against Villanova
gave them a much needed offensive
punch and insist that Auburn
will be primed for this affray.
All week the squad has been
unusually peppy. Those four
swell ends, Gus Pearson, Oscar
Burford, Jim Lenoir, and Herndon
McGehee have been scrapping it
out for the starting positions Saturday,
with Pearson and Burford
probably receiving first call. Judging
from the fine end play turned
in by these men against Villa-nova,
a team which boasts the
All-American John Wysocki, we
should be well taken care of in
this department. All four of these
men, with the possible exception
of Burford, could be classed as
"fryin' size" but they have proven
themselves capable and will
give the L. S. U. backs a pleas
ant afternoon's entertainment on
