Dean Proposes Student Vote
On New Plan Concerning
Class Cut Regulations
Identity Of Dean Is Withheld
Pending Action; Student
Opinions Are Asked
In reply to the statement of con­fused
disagreement and turmoil
of the entire student body as con­cerns
the new no-cut system, one
of the members of. the Executive
Council has expressed his frank
and candid views.
"A great majority of students
have shown complete lack of re­sponsibility
in the past," he states,
"by loafing away their time and
by wasting their own and the
state's money when they should
have been spending their time
in classes. There is something to
be gained from every class no
matter how dull the subject or the
teacher may seem. This laxness
in attending classes has forced the
board to take some action in order
to give Auburn the high standard
as stressed by other schools of
good rating."
Willing To Compromise
But, he goes on to say, he is
willing to compromise with the
• students if a good pplan is pre­sented.
He is willing to grant cuts
to those who "make the grade."
That average has not been decided
on as yet. It will have to be a-greed
upon by the other members
of the council.
In other words, it is his opin­ion
that a student can make the
high average as specified, he shows
that he is capable of standing a
few abences. But the poor stu­dent
needs the information as set
forth in every class hour.
The other matter about which
students are greatly concerned in
this new system is the fact that
points will be taken off the final
grade for each cut. This member
of the Council states that if anyone
has a better plan for making
students attend classes, let him
state it, for it is results that the
schools wants.
The plan of adding extra hours
in order to graduate instead of tak­ing
off credit has been ofered.
Some exception, however, must-be
made, he states, for those who
come to college with no intention
of graduating.
The Dean expressed his belief
that Auburn has not the scholastic
atmosphere that it should have.
Neither has it instilled a sense of
duty or discipline in the minds of
the students as it should have.
Students should come to college
with the intention, of working, at­tending
classes, and learning.
There would have to be no rules
concerning class attendance if all
students had these ideals. ',
This Dean urges, a student xcpte
on the above suggestions, and a-grees
to do his best in carrying
out the popular vote.
Votes Are Encouraged
Two sets of votes are encourag­ed:
One of the ideas in general
and the other on the ideas in
particular. The latter is merely a
student request, and no action is
promised by the Council on it.
I. A. Do you agree that a student
who makes a high enough a-
.- verage should be allowedd a
certain number of cuts?
B. Do you think that extra
hours should be added jn
order tp. graduate, if exces-

F. F. A/Holds First
Meeting Of
Year
The first meeting of the Auburn
Collegiate Chapter of F. F. A.
was held Tuesday night. New
members were introduced to the
group, each telling what standard
he had reached in his home chapt­er.
No program 'was given as old
and new business took the entire
period.
Meeting of the F. F. A. begins
promptly at 7 o'clock and ends
promptly at 8 o'clock on alternate
Tuesday nights. The next meting
will be Sept. 28. To become an
active member one must attend
a set percentage of chapter meet­ings,
take part on the program or
in other activities of the chapter,
and pay chapter dues.
At the present time the Auburn
Collegiate Chapter of F. F. A. is
sponsoring the F. F. A. Coopera­tive
book exchange, now located in
the L Building. It is also striving
to establish a Pedigree Association
which will aid the farmers over
Alabama and surrounding states
to get pedigree records on their
livestock at a minimum cost. At
the present time this is the only
organization of its kind located
in this section of the south.
I. R. C. TO MEET ON
THURSDAY NIGHT
With the failure of president­elect
Roy Bolen to return to school,
selection of a new International
Relations Club leader will be un­dertaken
at the group's meeting
Thursday night in Samford Hall.
Program will be devoted to a
discussion of recent developments
in the world situation by Edwin
Godbold, Sam Dorfman, and J. H.
Wheeler.
Charles S. Davis, of the history
department succeeded O. T. Ivey
at the close of last year as faculty
advisor for the club. Bertha Kahn
is vice-president, and Edwin God-bold
secretary-treasurer.
Announcement Is
Made By Fire
Department
The fire department has found
on answering, several fire alarms
thi£ month that the fuse boxes
do not have the proper fuses. Im­proper
fuses can start a fire easily.
We ask you, for safety's sake, to
have a reputable electrician check
your fuses and wirings. If your
fuses are improper, get the proper
ones-. If your wiring is defective,
it would save time, worry and
expense to replace the defective
wire.
We ask each fraternity house
manager, home owner and business
man to see that their electrical
systems are in order.
Any person turning on a fire
alarm must give complete informa­tion
concerning the fire. Give the
street number if the property has
a street number. In the past peo­ple
reporting fires have excitedly
given only the name of the per­son
occupying the burning prop­erty.
It is improbable that memb­ers
of the Fire Department will
remember just where everybody
in town lives.
It is absolutely unlawful to
turn in a false alarm. When false
alarms are turned in the Chief of
Police is notified. He then checks
the call. The person or persons
turning in a false alarm are then
turned over to the State Fire
Marshal. During the past year sev­eral
false alarms have been turned
in. The persons were caught. So
in fairness to you we pass this on
to you.
It is unlawful to follow the fire
truck to the fire. Do not do this.
Other traffic within the block in­terferes
with the truck turning
around, laying hose and making
its way to the fire hydrant.
It is unlawful to run over a
fire hose.
Please do not try to ride the fire
truck. The fire department ap­preciates
all intelligent help, but
there is not space upon the truck
for any more men—

DEBATE PLANS FOR
YEAR ARE MADE
Debate plans for the coming
year were outlined by Prof. E.
D. Hess Monday night at a meet­ing
of Auburn debaters.
Another meeting of students in­terested
in debating, both fresh­men
and upperclassmen, has been
called for Thursday, September 21,
at four o'clock, in the L Build­ing.
"We are especially anxious
that more freshmen take part in
debates this year" says Coach
Hess.
Last year's intercollegiate season
was a very successful one for
the Auburn varsity debaters, the
team winning the majority of its
matches.
GLOMERATA PHOTOS

Don Johnson, photographer from
Columbus, Ga., will begin taking
pictures for the 1937-38 Glomerata

to be present to have their
pictures made. Excuses from
classes will be available at times
specified on the Cards.
Mr. Johnson, a highly-regarded
photographer in this section has
handled the taking of Glomerata
pictures for a number of years.

who has offices in that Hall.
As was the case last year, no
decorations may be used by fra­ternities
on the walls of the Recre­ation
Hall,' as the Center has been
remodeled and permanent fixj-tures
installed to be in keeping
for such occasions.
Delta Sigma Pi
Outlines Plans
For Year
The local chapter of the honor­ary
business and professional fra­ternity,
Delta Sigma Pi, held its
first meeting of the year last
Tuesday in its regular meeting
room in Broun Hall. President
George Perry opened the meeting
with salutations to the returning
members and the group held an
open discussion of plans for the
year. Several committee heads
were appointed and chapter sug­gestions
passed, on to them. It
was definitely decided that an out­ing
of some kind would be held
in the near future at the Delta
Sigma Pi rustic lodge.
Perry announced to the chapter
the returning of two brothers who
are members of the faculty, Pro­fessors
Goff and Austin, and stat­ed
that they will probably, be fac­ulty
advisors for the year. It was
also decided that a reception for
students of business be given soon
at which time newly elected mem­bers
would be tapped and the
annually awarded scholarship cup
be presented to the highest rank­ing
student in the Freshman busi­ness
class of last year.

succeeded Foreman Rogers at the
Tiger, has been transferred .to
Birmingham, where he is connect­ed
with the Alabama Theater.
Mr. Rogers, for ten years man­ager

innovations.
NOTICE!
Thursday night all freshmen in­terested
in swimming are to meet
at Brown Hall at 8:15. Freshman
tryouts will be held in the Gym
Friday afternoon at 3 o'clock.
Rules Passed
Last Session
To Be Used
Final plans for the Opening
Dances were released today by
Edward Duncan, chairman of the
Social Committee, and, due to the
heavy advance ticket sale, a suc­cessful
set is anticipated, Duncan
stated.
At a meeting of the Interfra­ternity
Council Monday nighl),
the Pi Kappa Phi and Delta Sig­ma
Phi fraternities volunteered
the use of their hpuses as house
parties for the visiting girls at the
dances. Nearly 300 bid cards have
already been mailed to out-of-town
girls inviting them to the
dances. All visiting girls will be
housed in the places set aside for
them by the Social committee.
The dances will begin Friday
afternoon at 4 o'clock at the W. P.
A. Hall. Due to the increasing
popularity of the "Big Apple," the
first dance has been set aside as
the "Big Apple Dance," the fea­ture
of which will be the fact
that all boys will have to furnish
their dates with big apples. The
Knights have promised a variety of
swing arrangements.
Following the close of the tea
dance at 6 o'clock, the Friday night
dance will' begin at 10 o'clock and
close at 2 o'clock. The three Sat­urday
dances will be from 11 to
2 o'clock, 4 to 6 o'clock, and 9 to
12 o'clock. Season tickets for the
entire set of five dances are on
sale for five dollars.
New Rules Given
The new rules regarding dispo­sition
of visiting girls enacted by
the Executive Cabinet last year
will be in effect again this year.
They are briefly as follows: Re­turning
of acceptance cards is not
compulsory but requested to fa-ciliate
adequate housing, girls are
expected to stay at fraternity house
parties, girls are not required to
sign in and out at dances, girls
must not necessarily remain on
the floor at all times, and girls
will be expected to sign in at their
respective fraternity house parties
not later than 2:30 a. m. unless
they attend a buffet supper, in
which case they must sign in
twenty minutes after the function
ends.

were mailed bid cards follows:

PBACTICE OF SHAVING
HEADS MUST STOP 1
Freshman with shaved heads have al­ready
begun to grace our streets and class­rooms.
Such practice was supposedly dis­continued
last year, but apparently Old
Step-Mother Foolishness still insists upon
the carrying on of such disreputable poli­cies.
. . I t is accepted that a few of the original
collegiate practices are still all right, but
there is even a limit to such fun-making
tactics. To speak in the milder language,
it is a crude form of pleasure, or even
hazing.
• Becoming technical, it is virtually obso­lete
in practice. Rat caps are issued to
freshmen, and, supposedly, they are re­quired
to wear them. Were they to do this
the head and its carrying load of hair
would practically all be concealed from
view. There, as it should be in every in­stance,
the rat cap would be the distin­guishing
feature which betrays the fact
that the wearer is a freshman. .
Should these playful upperclassmen,
who apparently do not realize the childish
tendency in their behavior, continue to
act in such a manner, no doubt college
authorities will issue a severe reprimand
and probably deal with the reprobates in
a manner rather unakin to that of a be­nevolent
fathr having a friendly chat with
his favorite son.
ADVEBTISING IN PLAINSMAN
IS VALUABLE
Every time the Plainsman goes to press
.„l 2200 copies are run off to be distributed
\free of charge to every white resident in
Auburn. Contrary to the general supposi­tion,
advertising in the student paper is
not charity or even a donation as is usually
made to public enterprises. An advertise­ment
in the Plainsman is an investment
that pays good will of the students and
townspeople.
The Plainsman is read by every student
and the appearance of an advertisement in
the paper brings some product or business
establishment to the attention of the stud­ents.
The students have learned, that the
paper is a college business enterprise and
its success depends on support of its ad­vertisers.
Thus, since Auburn is primarily a col­lege
, town and the Plainsman gives the
nearest perfect circulation coverage in the
town, it behooves manufacturers and busi­nessmen
to place ads in the student news­paper.
By supporting the students, busi­nesses
get the support of the students.
STUDENTS SHOULD WATCH
CONDUCT ON TEIP
With the announcement that the Athletic
Department will take the student body en
masse to Montgomery, students have begun
laying plans to attend the football game.
Out of respect to the generosity of the
athletic officials, it is only fitting that the
students include in their plans a resolution
to conduct themselves as gentlemen and
scholars.
In the past when students have been in
large groups on trains going to and from
football games there has been a tendency
for them to forget themselves and do things
that not only give the college a black
sye but lower the self respect of the stud­ents.
We refer to the occasions when the
train windows were broken, light bwlbs
removed until the train was in complete
darkness, and Pullman passengers kept
awake.
. This being the first time Auburn stud­ents
will have gone to a football game en
masse, the repetition of the plan will de­pend
largely on the conduct of the stud­ents
on the first trip. Such a trip, if carried
out properly, will greatly increase the
students' enjoyment of the football game-
Proper conduct is an investment.that will
pay dividends in more trips of a similar
nature.
Not only must the student be warned
of his conduct on the train, but also of his
conduct at the stadium and in Montgomery.
There is a special drive on in that city to
cut down on reckless driving and disorder­ly
conduct. So, students, be careful that
you do not exchange a train ride to Auburn
for a ride in the Black Maria to the city
jail.
*
INTBAMUBAL SPOBTS SHOULD
INCLUDE SWIMMING
On the front page of this issue of the
Plainsman, one can't help but notice the
announcements concerning the tryouts
and meetings of the Auburn Swimming
team. Though they were intended primari­ly
as informative matter for freshmen
who might be interested in swimming, it
is also a direct invitation to concentrate in­terest
in swimming, to make it one of the
contending intramural sports here.
It is an evidenced fact that the swim­ming
team has good material now, that
it has worked and has been coached as
much as its means could afford. It is also
an obvious fact that the sport is in all pro­bability
the most widely enjoyed among
those listed right below those of the major
category. So with its widespread interest
appeal, it seems as though it should cer­tainly
be included among those in which we
have iriterfraternity and inter-group com­petitions.
BUSHING PBOBLEMS SHOULD
BE GIVEN MOBE ATTENTION
PLAINSMAN FORUM - Voice of the Students News and Views
Labors demand sweat of the brow- We
have lived through another Pledge or
Rush Week, and, unless all the capers were
a mere camoufloge to hide a dying ambi­tion,
the fraternities and sororities have
been at it again. That is, they have turned
on the heat and still have themselves to
look over for the burns.
Now in perturbation we look around at
the loose freshman that are still going on
loose. It is a disquieting situation. It is a
fairly stolid speculation that many of the
young shoulders upon which have been
thrust the grave responsibilities of pro-pogating
their kind in their own little fra­ternal
group feel that more drastic methods
should be available for them to resort to in
this seemingly barren time. Maybe the
same old ruckus will be started to impro­vise
regulations designed to alleviate these
disorders.
Practically speaking, it is hard to under­stand
where all of these invaders ar liv­ing.
It was fairly well understood that
there was a distinct shortage of living ac­commodations.
So to offset this little in­capacity,
the fraternities and sororities
would truly play the part of the big broth­er
and sister in providing places for all
these freshmen who are on the loose to
live.
A word to the freshmen might suffice
in that they are up here to take an active
part in affairs which are supposed to dis-tinguish
them from juveniles and adults
and as fraternal orders are naturally adapt­ed
to college and upper mentallity life,
they should make a quick decision, get
with their chosen bunch of boys or girls,
and start shooting the works. Until they
realfze this and do something about it,
their orientation will continue to be
stretched out over that period and they
will have no real chance to get acquainted
with that which they have taken up with
when they chose Auburn and its affiliated
relations.
A word to the fraternities and sororities
:ould be of no other temper than to con­gratulate
them upon the good material
with which they have to work. These
freshmen were all lined up over at the
President's Mansion last Saturday night,
looking and,conducting themselves as the
best of first year men and women. Too,
our studious nights have not been disrupt­ed
with the yelling of 'War Eagles" and
such uncollegiate nonsense. That is, non­sense
when off duty from supporting the
home football team in strange or enemy ,
territory. There is also the existing con­solation
that they have used the good
judgement of not yet seeing fit to de­molish
or over-run a railroad train or a
business establishment.

Dear Sir:
Enclosed is a poem that I have written. You
may publish it if you care to.
PLEASE OMIT FLOWERS
And if I tossed my body to the sea,
Then you'd be sorry, sweet, for what you've
said;
And you would weep, and come look at me,
And say "I loved him so"—but I'd be dead,
Then I would smile a most eternal smile,
And I would shed a little, ghostly tear;
And you would bear up bravely all the while
And drop a pretty flower on my bier.
And you would say, "How sorry now am I,
Who crushSd his heart, and harshly told him,
'Go!'
Oh, God, Why did he have to die?
Oh! I would have him back—I loved him so!"
And you would frown a most becoming
frown, .
And you would shed a most becoming tear,
And God would send a little angel down
To tell you that you lied like Hell, my dear.
—Anonymous.
Talk About The Town
by JACK STEPPE
Comes a complaint form one of our. six
readers that this column confines itself to too
few of the personalities hereabouts. A just
one we admit—and we hardly ever admit
such but hardly one that we can remedy wtih-out
some assistance. Its a task to find some­thing
to write about the persons we do know,
and we can't possibly konw everyone. So if
you have anything interesting—for a change—
about anything or anybody send it along.
Mayhaps enough contributions will convince
Ye Eds that there are a few people who have
little enough to do that they can spend the
time to read this.
The "A" club put on one of their grade "A"
jooks of last bath night—the stage as usual
rating about a dime a dozen. And the Cavaliers
very, very much improved. And the "Big
Apple" still reminding us of a combination
which includes St. Vitus dance, the Hopi
Indians snake dance, the seven year itch, and
Saturday night in Harlem.
MORE SIMILIES
As condescending as a campus big shots
smile to a freshman co-ed.
As entertaining as a freshman with a gift
of gab trying to make a good impression.

We heartedly endorse the free train ride,
idea to the B'ham Southern game and wonder
why such an idea—not necessarily free, but at
low rates—couldn't be brought about for some
of the other games near at hand. Surely it
would make the Auburn rooting section some­where
near what it ought to be, and would
bring the games within hte reach of many
more of the student body, who after all have
a primary interest in the team.
HITHER AND YON
We admire the guest editorial idea—if they
are all as good as Grover Hall's Bob Ward,
ex life of the Lambda Chi, forsakes the fair­est
village" to go aboating on the 18th—Eu­rope
bound. "G. I." Wilson, still as hungry as
ever, racks his brain to find a means of get­ting
out of work. Two will get you five that
"Miss Auburn" this year will be a frosh—
with nominations now in order. We would
like to see—Tooker sit still for five minutes—
C. N. Wood without a cigar—Bill Milam not
being serious—Max Welden not being busy—
and L. S. U. and Alabama's ego deflated by
Auburn winning the S. E. C—what Ye Eds
would do if we got this copy in on time for
a change". And thus we call it a day—with a
promise to be back next time—or is that a
threat.
Editor,
The Auburn Plainsman,
Dear Sir:
Being Freshmen, we are naturally green on
:he larger part of college ways and doings.
We are going to do our best to get along with
»uf upperclassmen, because we know that
ye have to—or else. We came here knowing
that we wouldn't have to take a lots of punk
that the upperclassmen do not. This is not
what we are objecting to. We don't mind the
paddle, etc., because it is all in it, and we're
going to expect the rats to take it next year
and year after and still be able to yell "War
Eagle" and laugh about it.
These little rat caps that we paid $1.00 for
seem to be just as popular with the upperclass­men
as they are with the freshmen. But we
wish they would buy their own instead of
stealing ours. Paying a dollar for a 4 cent
cap is not what we object to either, because it
goes for a good cause. If the upperclassmen
have, got to have them, we suggest that they
wear them and give us the paddles, or pad
the'paddles with the caps.
Signed,
A Freshman
Editor,
The Auburn Plainsman,
Dear Sir:
Though my intentions for writing this let­ter
is of a somewhat different naure, I would
like o congratulate the freshman class upon
its fine appearance and behavior displayed at
the Convocation held in Langdodn Hall last
Friday morning. Yours is a spirit that we are
proud of at Auburn.
Speaking for the Executive Cabinet, I want
to urge all of you, and that includes upper­classmen
as welf as freshmen, to conduct
yourselves in the very best manner with
which you are acquainted when you are all
taken in a body to the Birmingham-South­ern
game in Montgomery Friday. I believe
that you all are of that temperament that
will make you confine your behavior to that
of the very best upon any occasion.
Through this immediate medium, too, I
would like to tell you that should the Execu­tive
Cabinet be able to aid you in straightening
out any difficulty, we will be only too glad
to lend our assistance. We will appreciate,
every bit of consideration extended to us.
Thanking you for audience and hoping that
you will remember to conduct yourselves
honorably Friday, I am,
Yours very truly,
Max Welden,
Pres. Executive Cabinet

Several days ago Spain made a Gargantuan
contribution to international strife when she
openly accused Italy of being a Mediterran­ean
pirate power. In strong support of the
Spanish, Russia asserted that Italian war­ships
had engaged in "indiscriminate warfare
on Mediterranean shipping". With these blunt
and tactless charges flung between nations
the world's boiling pot of international con­troversies
again boiled over and the eyes of
the world turned from the Chinese-Japanese
war to the European disturbance that is ex­pected
to develop into far more than a verbal
insult.
In an effort to settle this and several other
vital issues, leaders from many countries
have their heads together in the League of
Nations Assembly Hall at Geneva and are ap­plying
suave diplomacy to their discourses,
trying to bring about a peaceful climax to
the current international troubles that have
belligerently dominated trade and social re­lations
between many nations for
months.

Encircling the assembly hall is the largest
army of Swiss police forces that has ever
served a meeting of this nature. Swiss police­men,
uniformed and otherwise, are careful­ly
watching for trouble that might easily
arise in such a crisis, and every assurance of
a peaceful meeting has been given the coun­tries
from which the representatives come.
We onlooking nations are hoping that the
golden gloves of the leagues' diplomats will
be able to handle the problems and will take
action that will bring the controversies to a
close.

The glossy white collonades of the nation's
capitol were blemished Sunday by streams
of smoke that threw a scare into all of Wash­ington.
Building materials under the East
portico of the capitol burst into flames and
smoke filled the building before firemen ar­rived
to extinguish the small fire. Large
crowds of gaping Washingtons assembled on
the capitol premises to see the fire but most
a of the spectators soon left mumbling "much

fire is attributed to a lighted cigarette cast
among some cork slabs that were to be used

Alabama's own Hugo Black, who was ap­pointed
and confirmed to an associate justice­ship
on the United States Supreme CouA
bench, was once more assailed verbally last
Monday by New York's Senator Royal Cope-land,
who charged that Black was a life
member of the Ku Klux Klan and was con­sequently
unfit to serve in a position that re­quires
the responsibility and dignity that this
judgeship does. Copeland waxed eloquently
against the Alabama Senator and in further
statements said that it would be a crime-to in-augaurate
this man who would wear the
black robe of justice in the day time and the
white, ghostlike cape of the Klan at night.
Black's supporters claim that Copeland is the
sparkplug of an industrial machine that
strongly resents the labor proposals intro-dduced
by the Southern legislator.

The cotton farmers, including those in Ala­bama,
continue to have their troubles. When

Tiger Theatre Will
Present New Type
Of Picture
Amazing new ' camera tricks,
developed by screen magicians
for the production of the Hal
Roach-M-G-M super feature com­edy;,
"Topper," coming to the
Tiger Theater next Thursday and
Friday, blaze a new trail in mo­tion
pictures.-
Photographic effects reached a
nejjr importance in Hollywood in
filmatizing Thorne Smith's fantas­tic
story of the hilariously funny
and thrilling adventures of- two
lovely ghosts, as portrayed by Con­stance
Bennett and Gary Grant.
Here, are a few of the "many un­usual
scenes in this screen play
which create astounding legerde­main
with the celluloid: the beau­tiful
lady ghost (Constance Ben­nett)
at one point reaches down,
grasps a zipper on her dress and
zips half of herself right off the
screen. When the handsome male
specter (Cary Grant) objects, she
zips all of herself right out of the
picture. Throughout the fantasy
Miss Bennett and Grant, playing
low plane spirits, have the ability
to materialize and dematerialize
wholly or in part.
Cary Grant drives the futuristic
automobile, jacks up the wheel
changes a tire, but you don't see
him—you see just the various im­plements
moving-about their eerie
business. :
Miss Bennett bathes and dries
herself in full view of the audi­ence
but curious onlookers, will
only see water bouncing off an in­visible
form and note the indus­trious
movements of the towel. In
another sequence, there are real
panties'on a transparent lady and
transparent panties on a real lady.

sive cuts are taken, instead
of points taken off for each
cut in excess of the specified
(none at present) number?
II. Students' opinion of number

ranking students:
\ . Average Number of cuts
90 and above (To be filled
._ in by students)
80-90
70-80 _^
duate, what course of ac­tion
do you suggest for that
particular case?
(1) Do you think that this
student should be given the
cuts he deserves according
to his grades, but that points
should be taken off for ex-excessive
cuts instead of
hours added?
D. Would the average grade for
cutting of the newly enrolled
student be determined by his
6-weeks grades?
E. Would the rating of all other
students be determined by
the grades they made the last
semester before their grades
adjusted.
