Debate Society
Initiates Five
New Members
The local chapter of Tau Kappa
Alpha, national honorary forensic
fraternity, closed the 1937-38 debate
season last Thursday night
with initiation of five active members
and two honorary members.
Active members initiated were L.
W. Caruthers, B. F. Sykes, Tom
Memory, W. M. Boggs and Guy
Williams. Honorary members inducted
were Mr. Ralph Draughon,
Executive Secretary of API, and
Prof. Henry Moss of the English
Department.
The initiation was followed by
a banquet at which cups and keys
were awarded to winners and runner-
ups in the two campus debate
tournaments sponsored each year
by Tau Kappa Alpha. The Varsity
Debate Tournament ended in
a tie between a two-man team,
Edwin and John Godbold, and a
one-man team, Bernard Sykes.
Instead of debating the tie-off,
as is the usual procedure, Sykes
was awarded one of the two cups
and the Godbold brothers the
other. Keys for second place in
the tourney went to Winfrey Boyd
and George Hiller. For the Freshman
Debate Tournament winners'
cups went to Harold Sutton and
Joseph Miller. Runner-up keys
were presented to Knox Millsaps
and Sabel Baum. The four freshmen
winners were special guests
at the banquet.
Officers for . next year elected
by the organization were: Winfrey
Boyd, president, and George
Hiller, secretary-treasurer.
Virginia Holcombe
Ag Enthusiast
By CRAWFORD HOLMES
Many country girls are fascinated
by the lights of the city, but
Virginia Holcombe, senior in agriculture
at Alabama Polytechnic
Institute this year, is a city maiden
who has found country life a welcome
relief from the rush of a
metropolitan area.
Miss Holcombe, whose home is
in Brooklyn, N. Y., came to Auburn
as sophomore in 1935 from
Packe Collegiate Institute, New
York. She enrolled in the School
of Agriculture to "get out of the
confusion of the city."
She will be the first woman
graduate to finish in agriculture
here in several years. "I like the
quiet and independence of country
life," she says, "and when I
finish Auburn I hope to become
supervisor over a diversified farm
somewhere in Alabama."
At Auburn, Miss Holcombe has
been active in campus affairs.
She is president of the Women's
Student Government Association
this year. At the annual agriculture
banquet April 30 she was
awarded an honorary diploma
from the Ag Club.
Agronomy has been her hardest
but most interesting course.
As a leisure time activity, Miss
Holcombe collects cups and saucers.
Her favorite sports are riding,
fishing and tennis.
The Holcombe family is not new
at Auburn. Miss Holcombe's father,
now vice-president of the
Brooklyn Edison Company, took a
post graduate course in electrical
engineering here, and a sister,
Ruth Holcombe, was a student her
freshman year.
Virginia is a great believer in
the theory that home needs on the
farm should be supplied first. If
the farmers will spend more time
raising crops for home consumption,
their annual incomes are
bound to increase," she says.
Alice Hornsby Weds Thomas
Allen Smith Of Auburn
Mr. and Mrs. Ben M. Hornsby
of Dothan announce the engagement
of their daughter, Alice Lyn-dall,
to Thomas Allen Smith of
Auburn. The marriage will take
place at an early date.
Miss Hornsby is a student in
the school of Home Economics
Education here.
Art Fellowship Is
Awarded Murphy
For Ability
The southern fellowship for
graduate study, research, or foreign
travel offered annually by
the committee on education of the
American Institute of Architects
has been awarded to James Leoni-das
Murphy, Jr., of Andalusia,
who will receive his bachelor of
architecture degree here at the
66th Commencement Exercises on
Monday, May 30.
Dean Frederic Child Biggin said
that Mr. Murphy's record at Auburn
has been outstanding. His
average grade for the entire five
years of the Architectural Course
is over 93. He has also served
during the past year as Student
Assistant in the Department of
Architecture and is a member of
Scarab and Phi Kappa Phi honorary
fraternities.
The Committee on Education of
the American Institute of Architects
awards' annually from the
Edward Langley Fund about a
dozen fellowships for graduate
study, research, or foreign travel.
These are open to any artchitect,
draftsman, student or teacher in
architecture who is a citizen of
the United States or Canada. The
awards are made on a regional
basis and only one is open in the
South Atlantic States, said Dean
Biggin.
Candid Cameras
Click In Cinema
Dozens of candid cameras are
expected to click on Sunday and
Monday at the Tiger Theatre when
amateur cameramen will photograph
many of the scenes from a
special short subject titled "Candid
Camera Maniacs" which will
be on the screen for these two
days.
Manager Gus Coats states that
the film, which is 10 minutes in
length, was made especially for
candid camera fans who have a
yen for photographing shots on the
screen at theatres which they attend.
Continuity for the film is
by Pete Smith whose side remarks
and directions to the camera fans
in telling them just when to shoot
are said to be most amusing.
Arrangements have been made
with the Auburn Camera Club,
announced Mr. Coats, whereby a
prize in the form of a one-week's
pass to the Tiger Theatre will be
given for the best picture taken
from the short subject. He asks
that all entries be submitted before
Friday, June 10. Participation
in the contest is open to anyone,
he said. And should the
winner of the passes not attend
Summer School the passes may be
used during the regular session
next year.
RECORD BREAKER
:.j|pi|lllli|; ^ :
Swanner is the most improved
man on the track squad and
has twice broken the Auburn
record in the 880 this season.
Against Georgia Tech he ran it
in 1:55.5, the fastest time in the
south this year. He is a potential
champ in the 880 for the
Conference crown this weekend.
Thomas Will Head
Ag Club Next Year
At its final meeting last Wednesday
night, the Ag club elected
H. P. Thomas president for next
year. This meeting ended a very
successful year for the club as
shown by financial reports.
Officers elected to assist Mr.
Thomas included Charles Breed-love,
vice-president; W. J. Alver-son,
secretary; Don Kyle, treasurer;
and Bob Gay, reporter.
After the election the meeting
was turned over to the new officers
by Gregory Oakley, retiring
president. In the absence of H.
P. Thomas, Charles Breedlove
took charge and called upon all
new and retiring officers for a
short speech.
The new leaders congratulated
the old officers on their work for
the past year, and expressed their
plans to make next year one of
the greatest in the history of the
club. Mr. Oakley praised the cooperation
and support of the club
last year.
CONTINGENT DEPOSITS
Student's contingent deposits
will be refunded May 24, 25 and
26 at the Accountant's office on
the first floor of Samford Hall.
Auburn Knights Lay Plans For Summer;
Organize Musicians For Next Year
With plans completed for the
coming summer and fall, the Auburn
Knights are slated to have
a band next year that will be far
better than the organization has
been since its origin eight years
ago.
The band recently selected John
Ivey as its director, Robin Russell,
musical director, and Curtis Griffith
who has been with the band
for the past three years will be
the business manager. Ivey and
Russell will be juniors.
The Knights will begin the summer
by playing a group on one
night stands enroute to Columbia,
South Carolina, where they
will play for the final dances at
the University of South Carolina.
After completing their engagement
at the University, the band
will play five two days stands
along the Atlantic coast at the
leading beach resorts. Myrtle
Beach, South Carolina, will be the
last stop for the boys. They will
play there for twelve weeks.
Although already rated as the
outstanding college band of the
South, the Knights will have an
organization next year that will
be composed of some new and experienced
talent. Gayle Riley
will replace Hilding Holmberg as
drummer; Charles Bradley who
was with the band last summer on
its Northern tour, will join the
sax section succeeding Hurc Ben-ard;
Miles Copeland of Birmingham,
formerly with the Alabama
Cavaliers, will be added to the
brass section taking Ivey's place
at first trumpet. Jim Sims who
has the reputation of being one
of the outstanding trombone players
in this section will play first
trombone. The remainder of personnel
will remain as it is.
Miss Mary Bourg will be with
the Knights as featured vocalist
for the summer season. Miss
Bourg has for the past month been
filling an engagementt in New
Orleans. While in New Orleans
she was auditioned by the famous
Ted Lewis and was given a contract.
Miss Bourg will make her
debut with the Lewis organization
at the Cocoanut Grove in San
Francisco early next fall.
This past week-end the Knights
played for the final dances at Lanier
High School in Macon. Ga
The band met with much favorable
comment.
i
'A' Club Dance to
Feature Singers,
State Broadcast
Saturday night at nine o'clock
the final "A" Club dance of the
semester will begin at the Alumni
gymnasium with the Auburn
Knights furnishing their own style
of swing music.
A one-hour program with many
novelties and specialties will be
broadcast over a statewide network.
The broadcast will be directed
by Prof. Woodrow Darling.
Stations WAPf and WSFA will
be included in the hook-up.
Already signed to sing with Ted
Lewis' band in the late summer at
the Cocoanut Grove on the west
coast, Mary Bourg will be the featured
singer with the orchestra at
the dance Saturday night. It will
be her final appearance on the
Auburn campus.
Also on the program will be
Albion Knight, recent singing discovery
of the Auburn Knights, and
Mac Rachman, talented accordionist.
The dance is the last scheduled
social function of the year
and is a climax to a semester of
gala events, sponsored by fraternities,
sororities, the Social
Committee, other organizations,
and the "A" Club.
There will be two "A" Club
lead-outs and three no-breaks at
the dance. The usual admission
,of one dollar will be charged. A
large crowd of students and out of
town guests are expected at the
affair, which will end at twelve
o'clock.
Students To Pose
For Photos
Following is a letter which
might prove of interest to some
seniors:
President, Senior Class
Alabama Polytechnic Institute
Auburn, Ala.
Dear Sir:
In cooperation with a group of
prominent and college-minded artists,
we are launching a search
for new photographic types, in
colleges throughout the country.
The field of commercial photography,
which includes the entire
realm of magazine advertising and
fashion work, offers an exceptional
opportunity for young people who
photograph well, and have a fair
amount of intelligence, poise and
personal distinction. Incomes frequently
average from $75 to $100
weekly for beginners. Many of
those who have commenced with
photographic posing continue on
to stage and motion picture careers;
among them, for example,
a r e Norma Shearer, Frances
Famer, Betty Furness and Dorothy
Day
I have been affiliated with Met-ro-
Goldwyn-Mayer for the past
ten years and am at present at the
head of the photographic talent
department of Screen and Fashion
Blue Book. During the early summer
we shall publish an album
of pictorial types, chiefly young
men and women from colleges and
preparatory schools.
I should like very much to find
out whether we might be instrumental
in directing the attention
of some of this year's graduates,
at Auburn, to careers in the sphere
of commercial photography. If it
is possible for any mention of our
bureau to be run in the college
daily, that would be greatly appreciated.
I should also like to
know whether, in your opinion, a
visit to the school by a representative
of our organization would be
desirable. This would make possible
personal interviews for any
interested students.
Sincere thanks for any assistance,
or suggestions, you may be
able to give us.
Yours very truly,
HALSEY RAINES.
NOTICE, POLO TEAM
All polo equipment in the hands
Of members of the A or B polo
squads will be turned in to the
stable sergeant at the stables before
Wednesday noon of May 25.
Anyone desiring to borrow or
purchase polo mallets or other
polo equipment for use this summer
will contact Captain Jacoby
at the stables at 10 a. m. on Saturday
or Wednesday mornings.
STURDY ATHLETE
j QHeSTeR. SQkQEtL--AdBdnH
Bulger is a consistent point
maker in the shot, having placed
in every meet this season. He
also heaves the discus and has
been entered in the javelin
throw for the S. E. C. meet in
Birmingham. Bulger is being
counted on for some points in
this carnival.
Kadelpians Give
Resume Of Work
At the last meeting of Kappa
Delta Pi, Roy Bolen, chairman,
gave an interesting summary of
the year's work which centered
about the structural development
of the teacher. Mary Alice Tucker,
secretary, gave a complete report
of the financial standing of the
chapter. An open discussion followed,
clarifying problems which
had arisen during the semester.
Miss Orr, counselor, led a discussion
on the place of Kappa
Delta Pi in the educational field.
Tentative plans were set up for
next year. Among these are:
sponsoring a musical program, increasing
the loan fund and developing
an active alumni unit
organization.
The following officers were
elected: president, Camilla Newberry;
vice-president, C. V. Lyle;
secretary, Bennie Jean Dabbs; reporter,
Mrs. Mary Sturkie.
At the close of the meeting, the
group of twenty enjoyed a social
hour.
Caps and Gowns
Problem Solved
By Editors
According to a query left at the
Plainsman office, some of the stu
dents aspiring for graduation are
not exactly sure about how they
are going to go through the pro.
cedure.
For instance, they wanted to
know where they might obtain admittance
cards for their parents
to the graduation exercises. The
President's office supplied the information
in that cards of admittance
might be secured at that
office any time between now and
Saturday, May 28.
Then some were not sure as to
just how they should wear their
caps and gowns once they had gotten
them, which side the tassel of
the cap should be worn on, how
much of the gown should be left
open during the exercises Sunday
and Monday. It might be easily
gathered that someone in the line
on those two days will know just
how the caps and gowns are to be
worn. However, we venture this
speculation: The tassel, in all
probability, should be worn on one
side before receiving the degree
and on the other side afterwards
As far as we are concerned, it
would be a toss-up as to which
side to begin upon. And as for
how much of the gown is to be
left open during the exercises, we
also suggest that you watch your
nearest best dressed neighbor and
meekly follow his directions, however,
as mutely as possible.
For additional information con
cerning the ways and customs of
graduating, we suggest that you
enroll in our "How to Receive
One's Sheepskin and What the
Best Dressed Graduate Would
Would Wear." All instructions
are given in four easy lessons.
They may be taken by corres
pondence. However, we suggest
that all boys apply for the correspondence
lessons unless they
are particularly good party boys
and very adept at pitching the
"woo."
Now for the girls, it would be
entirely better for them to secure
personal instruction. It is possible
that a travel tour series of lectures
will be arranged, probably
arranging something like a house
party down on the coast. All applicants
should get in touch with
the instruction bureau as soon as
possible so as to reserve a front
seat in the classes. Messrs. Bunt-in
and Workman, formerly worried
with the manifold duties of
the "Republic of Auburn College,"
will be chief instructors of "So
hangs the tassel" and "Thus opens
the gown" (with special instructions
to the femmes). Patronize
your home enterprises.
Story Of The Evils Of Marijuana Told
In Effort To Curb Effects Of Dope
By LAURENS PIERCE
The greatest menace to the
American youth today is the growing
use of the Marijuana weed in
the United States. School children
are being introduced to this
deadly drug by numerous 'Reefer'
peddlers in many of our American
cities.
The Mexican Reefer has been
brought into this country by racketeers
that have found it a new
source of good money from innocent
victims. The peddlers approach
the children on their way
home from school with: "Do you
want to be happy? Hey, kid! Do
you want to be happy?"
The drug is deadly, not in the
usual form as opium or heroin
is habit forming, but because the
unfortunate user returns to it time
and again to feel the pleasant sensations
that go with it. The effect
of the drug is different with
different individuals, and makes
the addict react in numerous ways.
It attacks the higher nerve centers
in the brain and causes various
sensations to take over the
body.
The first effect is usually one
of exhilaration. The smoker becomes
happy—a feeling of self-sufficiency
engulfs him, and all is
well with the world. The mind is
free from restraint, imaginary experiences
become as real as actual
experiences. These may be of a
pleasing or of a sensual nature, or
may be gruesome. Self-control
is lost. The sense of time and distance
is greatly exaggerated. Minutes
seem as hours or years, while
objects near at hand may appear
far away.
If enough of the drug has been
smoked, the exhilarating action
soon wears off and depression sets
in. The temperament or idios-syncrasies
of the person may assert
themselves at this point, and
the surroundings or environment
may play an important part in the
action of the addict. The person
may be very susceptible to suggestion.
There may be a strong urge
toward the commission of criminal
acts. The addict at this stage
is dangerous. He may commit the
most shocking or violent of crimes
and not know what he is doing.
Finally he falls into a stupor or
deep sleep, and awakens the next
morning without a hangover. Perhaps
for the first time he will
realize that he has committed
some unfortunate act. Fortunately,
all Marijuana users do not
commit crime, but the use of this
drug is an ever growing cause of
more atrocities happening every
day.
This drug has proved its vici-

Writer's Club
Organized On
Monday Here
Seventeen writers and students
interested in literature met Monday
night in Langdon Hall for the
purpose of organizing a Writer's
Club on the campus. The meeting
came as a result of the interest
shown in the recently conducted
Plainsman creative writing contest.
Prof. H. J. Y. Moss, of the English
department, was chosen faculty
adviser of the newly organized
group. John Godbold was
elected president for next year;
Nancye Thompson, vice-president;
John Paul Campbell, secretary;
and Howard Strong, treasurer.
Membership in the club is granted
to those who submit original
manuscripts for the approval of
the group. Auburn citizens interested
in writing are eligible to become
members. Producing writers
will be invited to address the
club.
Informality is the keynote of the
organization and no dues or fees
are to be imposed unless the group
finds it necessary to petition them.
Meetings will be held monthly,
subject to call or change. It is
proposed that a literary page be
included in the Plainsman which
will contain book, play, and movie
reviews. Compositions gaining
recognition will also be published.
The next meeting of the club
will be held at the first of the
next regular session of school.
Those attending the first meeting
were: Prof. Moss, John Godbold,
Nancye Thompson, Howard Strong,
John Paul Campbell, J. H. Wheeler,
Henry Draughon, C h a r l es
Burns, Edwin Godbold, Virginia
Adams, Robert Mundhenk, Mrs.
George Scithers, Charles Howell,
Dan Hollis, Jack Latimer, James
Buntin and Howard Workman.
Bus Christened
'City of Auburn'
Approximately 400 persons witnessed
the unique ceremony in
front of the local Greyhound Bus
Station yesterday afternoon, when
one of the 10 new super buses
running between New York and
New Orleans was christened "The
City of Auburn."
Sara Smith, "Miss Auburn,"
broke the bottle over the front of
the huge bus to make official the
new name. The name, "City of
Auburn," was painted in gilded
letters on each side of the bus,
P. S. Hennessey, traffic manager
for Tech Greyhound, said a few
words over the public address system,
to which Mayor C. S. Yar-brough
responded. Mr. Hennessey
expressed appreciation for the
large volue of business given the
Greyhound Company by Auburn
and the college.
Other officials of the company
present for the christening were
Joe Laube, Atlanta, advertising
counsel; C. E. Schriner, Mobile,
terminal manager; and G. E. Cole,
Atlanta, regional manager.
The placing of the new bus
marks the beginning of through
service between New York and
New Orleans, starting next Wednesday,
May 25. Ten buses will
make the run, and each will be
named for one of the leading
cities along the route. Large volume
of business from Auburn merits
the placing of this city among
the leading ten.
Regular schedules have not been
worked out for the through buses,
but absence of local stops will
cut considerably the time required
between the two cities.
Almeda Starkey Engaged To
Former Auburn Student
Mr. and Mrs. W. A. Starkey,
of Athens, announce the engagement
of their daughter, Almeda
Ingram, to Mr. Henry Lee Fuller,
of Marion Junction, the marriage
to take place in June.
Miss Starkey was a member of
the class of 1936. She was one of
the most popular girls on the campus.

PREPARE YE WELL YE OLDE
SWAN SONG ON THIS DAY
The various and sundry "Swan Songs"
will have been begun soon. And soon,
also, they will have been sung. In other
words, we soon will have finished, we
will be done with all that might have
been an integral part of this particular
session of school (with the possible exception
of a few re-exams or unfinished
romances).
However, there is yet time to go before
these swan songs are to be sung,
that is, we have a slight period for preparation
thereof. Of course, you will say
that that time will be spent in studying
for and taking exams, bidding old friends
"adieu", settling as much as possible the
current obligations, and possibly, in some
cases, submerging one's self in the vile
depths of alcohol. But in time it will all
have been attended to as good as it could
have been.
For some it will only be the taking
leave of Auburn until next year, but for
some, the graduating class, it will be their
taking leave for good. Now, this is no
place to wax sentimental. We refuse to
do that.
Instead, we say: Be a good Auburn
man and send good material up here next
year to take your place (and of course
add to the revenue and the usual high
standards of the school.) (If you wish,
you may take this as one last gesture to
fan the good graces of the school.)
As a morale booster, let us urge you
to make your Swan song a good one.
With them all being sung at the same
time, 2700 or more students will more
than likely make them sound like an inconsistent
and pitiful wail coming up from
a puny group who still fails to see the
light.
At last the fair ones who proudly display
the fraternity pins of their male
iends have gained the protection of the
courts! At least they have the protection
of a University of Oklahoma student lawyers'
practice court whose jury ruled that
"hanging a pin" is promise of marriage
and the basis for a breach of promise suit.
In its first case on the subject, the jury
awarded damages of three cents to the
suing female, with the side suggestion that
the money be used to write to Dorothy
Dix for advice about men in general.

HOLIDAY AND QUEEN THEREOF
MISSED BY JOURNALISTS
We do go in for our ceremonies at this
"cow college", though they do come "a la
barnyard" or by some other such route.
Just a couple of days ago, our own Miss
Auburn made use of her title and christened
one of the Greyhound buses "City
of Auburn."
It must be admitted that it is indeed
a nice "come to pass" to have one of the
overland cruisers of the Greyhound line
(as far as the matter goes, anybody's old
line) travelling down the highways with
the "City of Auburn" standing out in bold
letters on her side.
But it all goes to prove a point. Not all
of Auburn travels by "hitch of the thumb"
method. From uncertified sources comes
the information that Auburn buys more
bus tickets per capita than does any other
city in the country, which may be true
or not true.
Anyway, it's another thing to celebrate.
We could have named a holiday for it
and elected a queen. We offer the excuse
that we did not know about the occasion
in time enough to start our machinery
working for the setting aside of such a
day and electing a queen thereof. However,
don't get us wrong; It isn't such
a bad score missing one of the Days and
the Queen of it. Anyway, there will be
more to come. Maybe not this year, but
. . . but then we will be gone.
Quotable Quotes
(By Associated Collegiate Press)
"There is a style in educational jargon
to which certain non-original souls adhere
as slavishly as some women follow the
changing style of hats. The style is to effect
an institutional superiority inveighing
against the education of the masses.
It is a passing vogue. It cannot live long
because it is fundamentally wrong." Boston
University's Pres. Daniel L. Marsh
votes against restricting college and university
enrollments.
"A party in a democracy, as I see it,
is something you take or leave as it agrees
or disagrees with what you believe. The
problems of today are not to be settled
with slogans and the methods of ten years
ago. Political parties will have to develop
new plans and new programs." Dr. H. W.
Dodds, Princeton University president,
urges collegians to "guard against blind
loyalty" to any party.
"We have made hardly any changes in
our conception of university organization,
education, graduation for a century—for
several centuries . . . Nowadays no one
should end his learning while he lives and
these university degrees are preposterous."
Author H. G. Wells urges new thought on
rewards for thinking.
PLAINSMAN FORUM - Voice of the Students
Add simili: As useless as a roadside
poster for a defeated politician.
We met Clarabelle, the Montgomery
Advertiser's motley office cat, the other
day and found that she has about as
much affection for her kittens as a small
child for spinach. It would be well if
next year's Plainsman took one of the
kittens as an adopted office fixture. The
homey atmosphere supplied by a cat
would take the editor's mind off the
rigor of college life and more thought-provoking
editorials could be written.
For the past four years this year's crop
of seniors has been learning how to be
gentlemen of leisure. They get out prepared
to loaf in the most acceptable manner
only to find that they have spent all
of the family's money and must start to
work. It's the irony of life.
To our office comes the notice that,
for three dollars, a certain firm will
write to the concern where the graduate
wishes employment and cite to them the
advantages of hiring a college graduate.
It makes us wonder about the value of
a degree to think that the graduate must
hire a propagandist to pave the way to
his asking for a job.

College students are marked as a gull-lible
and profitable bunch with which to

the students to build a boat of vigilance

Noble Editor:
In a very weary period of boredom I bang
out another conglomeration of comments.
Nothin's happened to me since the last time.
I'm so fatigued with nothing I just sit around
and cuss to pass the time. Here are some comments
I noted while taking a sun-bath this
afternoon:
The good Lord must have created the monotonous
Sabbath to give men an idea of
what hell is like. . . The great American Sunday
afternoon sport seems to be to take the
baby, dog, or girl for an airing, and oh yes,
quite incidentally to pass the time. . . . Hunger
is undoubtedly a great blessing; it gives
one a chance to go on another glut. . . . There's
only one thing I hate about a good feast: I
won't be able to have another for a week.
Life might be vindicated somewhat if one
did not become satiated so easily. . . . It is
undoubtedly a strong factor in a civilization
cyclical fall and rise that as it rises (?) its
height is noted by the "ease with which its
cizitens can satisfy their desires, but one can
think of no more pleasant and exonerated
method of suicide than that resulting from
over-indulgence of desires. . . . It just came
to me that the reason why I dislike children
(Steppe perhaps) so much, is that they so innocently
overlook my many good qualities and
refuse to be impressed by my sacred and undoubted
individuality. Steppe might have
been a great man, but like Dopey of the Seven
Dwarfs his foot went to sleep all the way up
to his ears, and nobody has bothered to
awaken it, evidently following the "Let well
enough alone" theory.
Next time I return to this institution I
hope there are more people to exchange insults
with in my spare moments. So long

ONE PERSON.
Talk About The Town
BY JACK STEPPE — R. L. MUNDHENK
Happy landings . . . to my departing
friend, the head of this firm. Here's wishing
you an everlasting tailwind, visibility perfect,
and ceiling unlimited.
FulfiUment: Just south of Samford Hall,
midst a bed of Flanders poppies, is Auburn's
memento of the World War, a tree from the
Argonne Forest.
The Argonne tree, surrounded by its Flanders
poppies, stands, with naked arms stretched
toward the sky, dead. Watered with blood
and sprinkled with shrapnel in its infancy,
the peace of Auburn has sapped its strength
until, like a spectral sentinel in No Man's
Land, it fulfills its mission in death, even
better than in life.
Clever . . . being the remark of our lovely
companion the other night. Just having seen
moviedom's latest conception of college life,
'"College Swing," she cracked, "Must have
been a long time since the directors went to
college."
Blind wrath . . . being what we are seized
by every time we see a mob executing head
shaving, train painting, tie cutting, etc.
Within us there rests an inborn love of and
belief in the intelligence of man; but if we
have to see much more of mobs, we'll soon
be siding with those who believe in the ultra-unintelligence
of the masses.
Suggestion: Travel the economical way.
Stay home and let your mind wander.
Regret . . . With one girls' dormitory already
up and another to be started soon, the
Auburn co-ed population bids fair to be
greatly increased in 1938-39. Why, oh why,
do both members of this firm have to leave
this spring?
Free! . . . Auburn is noted for the rapidity
with which it turns out for a free event, but
this characteristic only substantiates the
theory that the best things in life are free
. . . Which reminds us of the Scotchman who
called up is girl—to ask her what night she
was free.
Still-born hope: We thought we had heard
the last from that super-bore, One Person.
But, alas, he's in again. (Who left that door
open?) We regret to leave Auburn, but there
is one consolation: One Person is staying here.
Accomplished . . . by the firm this year:
A column written and space filled, more or
less—sometimes more, more often less. How-evei,
next time—exams not withstanding—
we'll met you for the last time in this s*me
space.—Ye Firm.
The Auburn Plainsman,
Auburn, Ala.
Dear Editor:
Hard as I try I find that I cannot resist the
impulse to answer the special writer who
heads the column "Talk about the Town!"
It is my opinion that this person or writer
if he may be called one is simply writing to
fill his 'grouch' column or is just lacking in
the oft discussed 'gray matter'.
Please, if he has a chance to answer this in
the last issue of our Plainsman, I would like
an answer to a few direct questions.
1. In the first place why would he be at
the back door, did he not have the show fare.
(Exit doors in the rear of a building have
what is known as a panic bolt which opens
enly from the inside. This also causes the
management to employ one less ticket-taker).
2. Has this person consulted any authority
on the subject of legal exit. This incidentally
is established by law and the specifications
are closely followed by any builders.
3. Is this writer familiar with the laws in
regard to the lighting of a cigarette within
a theatre. (If he is not it might be well
to brush up on this subject for the law sets
a maximum fine at $100.00.
My friend I have said my say in the best
of faith and only because I so dislike seeing
such rank misrepresentation have I written
this.
Always for Auburn,
N. O. TAKNOCKER.
Sixteen Ems
BY SPACER OUTER
Spacer Outer will give "U" a short resume
of some senior characters studied
throughout campus life. How "I".sees 'em,
what "I" thinks of 'em and how they look
at 'em here.
They are:—
1. Jack "Blue" Adams—Most spirited "A"
lad, highly excitable but could subdue most
any freshman upheaval.
2. Morris Hall—Usually quiet, hard worker
noted for always saying, "Well I'll tell
you but don't repeat me."
3. Mary Haygood—Sorry we can't say
anything about her, she lives at Sucker Hill
and those girls hate publicity!
4. Rex McKissick—Has been "substituting
for Hitchcock at halfback" eh Pete—? Best
all around athlete in A.P.I.
5. Kate Crossley—Better known for her
"wild call of the K. D.'s". Lately introduced!
Ditto Tony Williams!
6. Josh Couch—Never met a class on time,
slept the ones he did meet and when he
woke up he was the loudest individual in
class and also tried to pin every gal he has
gone with!
7. Dave Hamilton—Always had a "Triangle
Trouble"—eh Francina? Darn good fellow
to know, however!
8. Helen Jones—Well known for being
everybody's friend, and above all one of the
most popular dancers in Auburn but so nervous
she can't sit still five minutes—P. S.—
Better known as "Giggles."
9. George Hairston—Best and swellest all
around boy ever to hit Auburn. Also a love
bugger in more than one way—eh Jean?
10. "Chico" Silva—Best dancer and most
liked and best known boy on Auburn campus.
One that will be missed by everyone
—eh Tooker, Helen, and Jean?
11. Billy Hitchcock—"A" Club president,
many honors, also great Casanova—eh Pete?
12. George Lehnert—A good husband, enjoys
rides in open Model T's, also loves re-elections!
13. Floyd Pugh—Noted for her frequent
weekend "take-offs" to Union Springs, weH
liked among the students, constantly broke
dates with Spacer Outer!—P. S. Floyd, don't
tell who I am.
14. Bill Stelzenmuller—Everyone knows
him for his high scholastic average but he'
would like to tell you that he can get out and
be a regular fellow with the rest of the boys.
Has made most of the social functions this
year and 'tis rumored he likes laps too!
15. Mary Pearce—Nice looking, "A" Club
sweetheart, one of the few girls to finish in
pharmacy.
16. A. D. Holmes—Will he be Auburn or
Columbus graduated. Hard worker, bearer
of many honors, and one of the best liked
Phi's.
17. Hilding Holmberg—Beat It out! Best
drummer in the country, always happy.
18. Tiny Shi—Used to be our Tiny, wearer
of the largest Sigma Nu pin in existence.
Cute, too.

THIS TIME: ABSENCE RULE
FIZZLES: THE BAND;
WITHDRAWAL FEVER;
MEXICAN POWDER KEG;
OFF THE SUBJECT; OUR
LETTER WRITERS AGAIN.
ABSENCE RULE FIZZLES: The highly-touted
and much-maligned absence rule was
presumably put into effect to get students to
attend class, and then said class attendance
was supposed to raise our scholastic standards.
Maybe the rule has forced students to
attend a lot of classes they would have otherwise,
but as for raising the scholastic
standards of the institution it has failed
miserably. For the last few years—we lack
exact figures—the scholastic average for the
entire student body of API has consistently
been between 78 and 79. The first semester
, of this year, for the first time in a number
of semesters, it fell below 78. In fact, it
not only fell—it plummetted—down to between
76 and 77. That's approximately a 2
point fall, and for the average of an entire
student body that is a big drop. So when
adherents of the absence rule present the
benefits of their plan, the theory of its being
a grade-raiser should be omitted.
* * * *
THE BAND: Will someone tell us what
happened to the band at Tuesday's parade.
It was like trying to march to a Benny Goodman
arrangement of "The Old Apple Tree."
* * * *
WITHDRAWAL FEVER: Runner-up candidates
in the recent Alabama elections are
almost falling over themselves in rushing to
withdraw from the impending run-off.
Chauncey Sparks started the trend by withdrawing
from the race for governor. Soon
othe candidates were falling in line and for
a time it looked as if there might not even
be another primary. -However, the runner-up
for Congressman from the third district,
which includes Auburn, declined to withdraw
and so another election will have to be held.
* * * *
MEXICAN POWDER KEG: Mexico, our
fiery Southern neighbor, is perched on a
powder keg these days and no one will be
surprised when someone strikes a spark and
blows the entire nation sky-high. The bitter
fight between Church and State is still going
on. The Mexican government and the English
government are spitting in one another's
face about the seizure by the Latin government
of vast British oil properties. To cap
it all, a militant party is opposing the government's
move to restore aristocracy-owned
farm lands to the peasants. The peasants to
whom the land has been given seem to lack
knowledge of how to farm effectively and
many of the newly-independent farmers are
letting their property fall into disuse with a
consequent shortage of food threatening. All
in all, it looks as though the impetuous Mexicans
are about ready for another revolution.
* * * «
OFF THE SUBJECT:: Far from being
news is the fact that "it's about that time."
In other words, those exams are right on us
and before long the 1937-38 session of API
will be history. The seniors will troop forth
to look for jobs; the remainder of us will hie
homeward to jobs or rest, or else we'll spend
these burning summer days right here at the
same old grind. We'll swear that we'll never
study again and that we hope that we never
have to come back to Auburn. And then in
a few weeks we'll be thoroughly bored with
things as they are and wish that we were in
school again.
* * * *
OUR LETTER WRITERS AGAIN: Those
who wish to conduct personal arguments of
their personal viewpoints should pick other
mediums than the Plainsman. Granted that
the editorial page of this sheet is a medium
for the expression of student opinion, but
when that student opinion deteriorates to the
point where it becomes personal argument
and of no interest to the student body as a
whole, then it is high time that expressions
of that opinion be conducted elsewhere.
Therefore, to the lad, or maybe lassie, who
signs himself "Lazy Pacifist": this writer will
be glad to meet you at some time next year
for a little discussion of our conflicting views
on the American Student Union. We can
make it a simple little discussion, a nice
argument, or if you'd like we'll make it a debate
with judges and all the trimmings.
What say?

Sarong In Film
Dorothy Lamour wears nothing
but a sarong in her new picture,
"Her Jungle Love," opening Sunday
at the Tiger Theatre, yet required
a staff of personal attendants
larger than in any of the
dressy films she has played in.
A check-up made while the picture
was being shot revealed that
no less than five persons were detailed
to the group that the cinema
queen calls her "court." This
unusually large entourage is attributable
to two circumstances.
First, the picture is the first jun-

gle film ever made in color. Second
the very fact that Miss Lamour
wears nothing but a sarong
—not even a hairpin.
For the ordinary production,
one make-up man would have
been sufficient, whereas Miss Lamour
neded the assistance of two,
.one for facial make-up and one
to apply grase-paint to her body
so that it would register in natural
colors for the Technicolor
camera.
Miss Lamour's "frocks" in the
jungle film weighed all of four
ounces apiece, but a girl from the
wardrobe department was handy
at all times just in case one of the
sarongs got balky.
The toughest job of all was the
one handed her hairdresser. The

ousness on the human system, but
it also has its uses in the medical
field. Although the affects in
medicine are sometimes beneficial,
it has just about come to the point
of being outlawed even in this instance.
The extract of the Marihuana
is called Cannabis, and is a
!red, oily substance that is taken
jfrom the milk of the weed. Even
in doses prescribed by a physician,
<the reaction of the Cannabis can-
Inot be foretold. Sometimes the
;normal dose proves insufficient to
ithe patient, and then on other occasions
it is too powerful and
'causes harmful results. F:r this
reason, the use of Cannabis in
medicine has almost been absn-doned.
In the fight against this deadly
i narcotic, all but one of the 48
states have enacted laws control-i
ing its use and handling. The
United States Congress passed a
bill to aid this control by placing
authority of its handling in the
hands of the United States Treasury
Department. The real burden
of control though, lies with the
parents of our country.
C. W. Bell Weds Anne Wilson

The engagement of Miss Anne
Wilson, of Auburn, to C. W. Bell,
of Jersey City, N. J., was recently
announced. The wedding is to
take place in Auburn on June 14.

as an experimental pharmacist
with the Bilhuber-Knowl Corporation
in Jersey City. He is an
Auburn graduate of the class of
'37 in pharmacy. While in school
he was a member of Rho Chi, the
Pharmaceutical Society, Phi Kappa
Phi, and served as a columnist
on the Plainsman staff.
The couple will leave Auburn on
a honeymoon trip immediately
after the wedding and, on July 1,
