President Duncan
Is Given Vote Of
Thanks By Faculty
Over 300 Faculty Members
Attend Forum;. Reception
For New Members Is Held
Combining a reception for the
new staff members with the reg­ular
monthly Faculty Forum din­ner,
more than 300 faculty mem­bers
of the college, their wives
and husbands, gathered at WPA
Hall Wednesday night.
At the program following the
dinner, a resolution was adopted
commending Dr. L. N. Duncan for
his abie handling of Auburn since
becoming president. Seven mem­bers
of the faculty who came to
Auburn previous to 1900 gave
brief reminiscences of earlier days
at the college.
In response to the resolution
Dr. Duncan spoke briefly con­cerning
prospects for further im­provement
at the college. Stating
that financial problems are still
of great importance to A. P. I.,
he added that another impor­tant
problem is to maintain the
proper spirit of cooperation with­in
the faculty.
"Auburn has become a big in­stitution,"
Dr. Duncan said, "its
influence reaching directly into
all. parts of Alabama." The entire
staff of the various divisions at
Auburn, including those working
in other parts of the state, now
numbers more than 600, Dr. Dun­can
reported.
The resolution, adopted prev­iously
by. the Executive Council,
was read by Dean J. J. Wilmore
and approved by unanimous vote
of the faculty. It called attention
to the fact that Auburn was fac­ing
serious financial difficulties
only a few years ago, with in­sufficient
funds to pay the staff
members, and no prospects for
funds to take care of expansion.
Under Dr. Duncan's direction,
the statement said, the college has
obtained sufficient funds with
which to operate, and recently has
found a way to obtain funds for
needed expansion-.
. Dr. Rosa Lee Walston intro­duced
the faculty members who
have been with the college more
than 38 years, calling upon each
to devote five minutes to reminis-censes.
Dr. George Petrie, Dean of the
Graduate School, spoke first as
the oldest faculty member in point
of service. Dr. Petrie recalled that
the main college building had
burned just before he came to
Auburn in 1897, and that Langdon
Hall was the only regular college
building on the campus. His class­room
was in a rough frame build­ing
of two rooms, where he taught
the entire freshman class, con­ducting
classes in Latin, English,
foreign languages and history.
Dean Wilmore, second oldest in
point of service, came to Auburn
in 1889. He conducted all classes
in engineering and mechanic arts
until several years later, when he
got an assistant from Minnesota
at a salary of $600 per year.
Dean Wilmore told of the de­velopment
of the campus during
the nineties, including construc­tion
of an engineering building
for $16,000 planned by him and
Prof. M. T. Fullan. The building
was later expanded into Broun
Hall. Enrollment was 180, and
most of the classes were held in
Langdon Hall.
Dean C. L. Hare of the School
of Chemistry and Pharmacy has
been a member of the faculty
since he became student assistant
in 1892. He read two interesting
letters from old graduates of the
college recently received by him­self
and S. L. Toomer. The grad­uates
were Horace Turner and
Hunter Lang, the latter a member
of Auburn's first football team.
J. F. Duggar, at present re­search
specialist with the Exper­iment
Station, is the fourth oldest
faculty member in point of ser­vice.
He came to Auburn as ag­ricultural
instructor in 1896, hand­ling
all courses in that division.
Miss Allie Glenn, who became
her father's assistant in the treas­urer's
office in 1896 and is at
present treasurer of the college,
recalled social functions of col­lege
students during the nineties.
M. T. Fullan, at Auburn since
1897, discussed the rules of the
campus, including the strict mil­itary
discipline enforced in the
early days.
STUDENT BODY GIVES ENTHUSIASTIC
SEND-OFF TO TIGERS LAST NIGHT
. Metro Singer
Pep Rally And Send-Off
Is Final Event In ODK's
Week Of Pep Revival
By John Godbold
The walls of old Langdon Hall
shook last night to the roars of one
the lustiest pep rallies in years. A
capacity crowd which more than
packed the auditorium joined with
ODK, sponsor of Auburn "Pep
Week," to give the Plainsmen a
rousing send-off to Knoxville.
Master of ceremonies was L. E.
Foster, president of ODK. Dr. L.
N. Duncan and Dr. Charles Davis
of the history department were
featured speakers. Cheerleaders
Charlie O'Reilly, June Tooker,
Doris Greene, Tony Cortina, Chick
Hatcher, and Joe Gandy were on
hand to lead cheering, and the Au­burn
band, -78 strong, was there to
give its version of Auburn songs.
Dr. Duncan spoke briefly, ex­pressing
his belief that Auburn
would win over Tennessee next
Saturday as well as over the rest
of the teams on the schedule.
Dr. Davis asked for better stu­dent
support of the football team,
his request prompting a .unani­mous
yell of, "They've got it." He
stated that the Auburn Spirit had
not been dead but merely asleep
and that it had been awakened in
the last week.
The band played its version of
"Glory to Old Auburn," the "Au­burn
Victory March," and its ar­rangement
of "Tiger Rag."
Albion Knight, soloist of the
Glee Club, sang the Alma Mater
and then lead the entire group in
singing it.
The rally was brought to a close
by a march behind the band to
the station where the team caught
the 7:55 train for Knoxville, where
they play Tennessee tomorrow.
The pep meeting was the cli­max
of Auburn "Pep Week," a
movement sponsored by Omicron
Delta Kappa, senior honor organ­ization,
to restore the dormant Au­burn
Spirit. Meetings of all classes
were held earlier in the week and
the situation carefully discussed.
Results of ODK's work have
been widely noticed on the cam­pus.
The prevalence of rat caps
and the more friendly attitude of
the freshmen have been the source
of much favorable comment.''
L. E. Foster, president of ODK
stated this morning, "The Pep
meeting was splendid. We hope
that it will be followed by more.
Let's keep the old Spirit rolling."
New AAA Building
Is Finished
Official opening of the new $60,-
000 Triple A Building will be cel­ebrated
Saturday night when
"open house" will be held from
8 to 10 o'clock.
Visitors'will be received in the
foyer of the new structure by col­lege,
extension service, Triple A,
city and soil conservation ser­vice
officials. In the receiving
line will be President and Mrs.
L. N. Duncan, Extension Director
and Mrs. P. O. Davis, State AAA
Administrator and Mrs. A. W.
Jones, Mayor and Mrs. C. S. Yar-brough,
Col. and Mrs. T. D. Sam-ford,
and SCS Coordinator and
Mrs. O. C. Medlock.
Finishing touches were applied
on the new building early this
week. Of modern design, the two-story
brick structure will house
all branches of the Alabama Triple
A and Soil Conservation Service.
The General Accounting Office,
which is the financial disbursing
agency of the AAA, will be quar­tered
in the building.
Built by the Extension Service,
work on the building began in
March. The structure is located
on the agricultural campus direct­ly
in rear of Duncan Hall. It is a
40 by 150 foot building with base­ment
and two stories. Warren,
Knight and Davis, Birmingham ar­chitects,
designed the building,
while Ralph Smallman, Birm­ingham
contractor, supervised con­struction.
Since the Agricultural Conser­vation
program was launched in
1933, headquarters of the State
AAA have been on the third floor
of Comer Hall. Limited space, to­gether
with the fact that the rooms
are needed by the agricultural
school, made provision of new
office space desirable.
Paxson Will Speak
To A. S. C. E.
"Operation Of Military
Roads In Hawaii" Will
Be Subject
"Operation of Military Roads
in Hawaii" will be the subject of
an address by Captain H. O. Pax-son,
Corps of Engineers, who will
address the Auburn chapter of the
American Society of Civil Engi­neers
in Ramsay Hall Monday
evening at 7 p. m. in room 207.
Captain Paxson's lecture is to
be one of a series by outstanding
engineers which are to be arrang­ed
during the present year for
students in civil engineering and
those in other departments of the
Engineering School, said T. F.
Karge, Rochester, N. Y., chapter
president.
Purpose of the series of lec­tures
is to bring first-hand infor­mation
from engineering authori­ties
to students on the campus.
Mr. Karge said that A. S. C. E.
chapter would cooperate with oth­er
engineering groups in arrang­ing
the lecture series.
Captain Paxson is a graduate
of the United States Military A-cademy
at West Point and came
to Auburn as a member of the R.
O: T. C. staff this summer after
completing a tour of duty in Ha­waii.
A. S. C. E. officers this year be­sides
Karge are T. S. Burnum,
vice president, Decatur; J. Amos
Hargett, Russellville, treasurer;
James G. Brown, Montgomery,
secretary. The following faculty
members are serving as adviros:
Prof. John A. C. Callan, Prof. F.
C. Hulse, Prof. V. B. Watwood,
and Prof. Alex O. Taylor.
Tigers To Tackle
Vols Tomorrow
By John B. Thomas
Tomorrow the Tigers tangle
with the Vols of Tennessee in a
game which the dopesters claim
will be far ahead of early season
football. This will be the fourth
time the two teams have met in
the recent series, Auburn having
won two and lost one.
Auburn will go into the game
minus the services of Hatch How­ell,
one of the best guards in the
conference. Howell injured his
shoulder in the Tttlane game, and
he may be out for the season. Loss
of Howell and Kenmore for the
season would change the status of
the Tigers considerably.
George Cafego, Tennessee's
hard running tailback, will no
doubt be the man to watch. He
has carried the brunt of the at­tack
thus far for the Vols, and
few backs in the conference can
match him in triple-threat abil­ity.
Andridge and Warren, both of
whom are sophomores, should al­so
see action in the backfield. In
addition, "Cheek" Duncan, a good
pass receiver, and Walter "Babe"
Wood, another triple-threat half­back,
will match their respective
strides with the pony backs from
the Plains.
The battle at center should be
a burner this week. "Goose" Mor­gan
and Getty Fairchild can stop
most anything. Tomorrow they
will be playing opposite one of
the greatest pivot men ever to
wear a Tennessee uniform.-Capt.
Joe Little. Another Vol lineman
likely to give Coach Meagher's
boys some trobule is Bob Wood­ruff,
behemoth tackle. Woodruff
was in R. O. T. C. camp with
several of the Tigers last sum­mer,
and they know what to ex­pect
from him.
The starting line for the Tigers
very likely will be Harrison or
Burford and Whatley, ends; Capt.
Russel and Nichols of Wolff at
tackles, Burns and Mills at guard,
and Morgan or Fairchild at cen­ter.
In the backfield will be Wal­ker
or Smith at quarterback, O'-
Gwynne and Kelly at halfbacks,
and Haynsworth or Sitz at full­back.
McGowan may come through
with a starting past. The rangy
sophomore has shown he can play
varsity ball from the starting
whistle.
Rose Bampton To
Sing Tonight
Rose Bampton, one of the nat­ion's
leading sopranos, who will
open the 1938-39 Auburn Concert
Series with an appearance in WPA
Hall this evening at 7:45 o'­clock,
arrived in Auburn by train
at 8 last evening. Nils Nelson,
pianist who will play the accom­paniments
for her concert, arrived
on the same train.
Miss Bampton comes to Auburn
from Montevallo where she ap­peared
in concert Wednesday
evening. "Students and faculty
members at Alabama. College
were highly pleased with Miss
Bampton's concert," said Charles
G. Dobbins, executive secretary
at Alabama College, in a tele­phone
conservation this morning.
"She is beautiful, gracious, and a
great singer," said Mr. Dobbins.
Definite plans for entertainment
of Miss Bampton have not been
announced but it is expected that
she will be entertained by one of
the fraternities. She will also be
invited to attend the Opening
Dances at WPA Hall.
Even on tour Miss Bampton
prefers not to interrupt her daily
rehearsals. Mr. Dobbins said that
she underwent her practice ses­sion
Thursday morning before
leaving Montevallo at 3:00 p. m.

Scabbard And Blade
Neophytes Take
Over Town
Ghoulish Goons Invade
City Tomorrow Morning;
Ceremony To Be Uptown
About noon tomorrow four pair
of brightly colored, long-nosed
goons and one extra red one,
dressed in ghoulish feathers and
white gloves and armed with .bows
'n arrers, will take over the main
drag to perform the usual capers
that characterize the colorful Scab­bard
and Blade initiation.
The festivities really began this
afternoon with Blade Captain
John Eagan and his henchmen
putting the new men through ev­ery
conceivable military move­ment
and some that aren't even in
the drill manual. Tonight the men
in uniform will pitch pup tents
(so called, says one of the neophy­tes,
because not even a full-sized
dog can get in one) in front of
the chemistry building for an
hour, then strike tents and march
to the W. P. A. Hall, where they
will pitch camp for another hour.
Next hour they move back to the
chemistry building — and so on
through the night.
But tomorrow morning all Au­burn,
including the visiting wen­ches,
will be at Toomer's corner
to see what is apparently a col­lege
gone mad, with gibbering,
white-eared goonish monsters pur­suing
squealing, screaming co-eds,
placing them on stands in the cen­ter
of the main drag, and measur­ing
them from stem to stern. All
measurements are to be recorded,
along with details of facial beauty
and telephone numbers, and the
gal whose qualifications most
nearly fit those of Venus de Milo
will be awarded a prize at the
banquet of the neophytes to be
held in Benson's that afternoon.
All passing motor vehicles will
be stopped and searched for "li­quor
and plots against the gov­ernment."
During Saturday after­noon
the pledges will entertain
all who desire to watch with any
and all antics that the old Blade
men can think up. Demerits which
have accumulated against the
pledges up to that time will be
worked off, with all men doing a
little duck-waddling around the
square now and then to keep
things from getting monotonous.
After a steak supper at P. Bag's
the initiates will drill for a spell
in the city streets, then go to the
stables, and mount up their hor­ses
for a two-hour ride — with­out
stirrups — to parts and places
unknown, where obliging and
willing Blade members will pro­vide
"entertainment" for the rest
of the night.
Players To Meet Tonight
To Decide On Next Play
The Auburn Players will meet
tonight at the Y-Hut to select their
second play of the 1938-39 term,
with a strong possibility that a
Greek or a Shakespearean tragedy
will be chosen.
Director Telfair Peet has asked
that a tradegy be given as the
next Players' production. Two of
the last three plays given by the
student dramatic organization
have been comedies, and the oth­er
was a melodrama.
This week-end will see work on
"Behold this Dreamer" go into
its last stages. The play, a four-act
comedy by Fulton Oursler and
Aubrey Kennedy, is to be given
in Langdon Hall Thursday night,
Oct. 13.
NOTICE
The first semi-monthly meeting
of the Branch School for members
of the Officers' Reserve Corps liv­ing
in Auburn and vicinity will be
held at 7:30 p. m. Tuesday, Oct.
4, in the Engineering Class Room
in the basement of Samford Hall.

Joint meeting of the YMCA and
YWCA at 7 p. m. in the Student

Glomerata Photos
Must Be Finished
Next Week
Students Are Urged To
Call And See Proofs
As Soon As Possible
By Roy Taylor
There is only one week left in
which students may have their pic­tures
taken for the 1939 Glomera­ta,
according to an announcement
made today by Curty Farley, bus­iness
manager of the yearbook.
Cards are being distributed
through the mail to those stu­dents
who have not had a previous
appointment and to those that did
not come at the time specified.
The Glomerata staff is anxious to
get the picture taking out of the
way, and requests all students to
come promptly at the time stated
on their card, so that as many
students as possible will have their
pictures in the Glomerata. They
also call special attention to the
fact that unless the picture is
taken at this time, it will not ap­pear
in the yearbook for 1939.
There are approximately 900
students who have not yet had
their pictures taken. These stu­dents
are asked to come at their
first possible opportunity and not
to wait for an appointment if one
has not already been given.
This year the pictures of the
members of the student body have
been taken in record time. In the
past, it has required eight or more
weeks to complete the photograph­ing
of between 2000 and 2500 stu­dents.
This year, if everything is
completed according to schedule,
3000 pictures will be taken in
four weeks.
This record is made possible by
the whole-hearted cooperation of
Gaspar and Ware Studio, who
have outdone themselves to give
the best of service and quality to
the students with little lost time.
This year, for the first time in
the history of the school, the stu­dio
is letting the students keep
their proofs. The proofs are not
only larger than before, but also
will not fade.
Old Auburn Grad
Dies In Texas
Friends in Auburn yesterday
were notified of the death Sunday
of Judge Frank C. Dillard, aged
84, a distinguised alumnus of Au­burn.
Judge Dillard, said to be
the oldest living Auburn alum­nus,
passed away in Sherman,
Texas.
Judge Dillard graduated from
Auburn in 1875, and made a dis­tinguished
record after gradua­tion.
He was listed in "Who's
Who."
He frequently returned to Au­burn
and several times made ad­dresses
here. When a portrait of
the late Dr. B. B. Ross was pre­sented
to the college, Judge Dil­lard
made the presentation on be­half
of the alumni. He also has de­livered
the baccalaureate address
a r Auburn.
He has a sister in Columbus
and one in Atlanta and was a cou­sin
of Miss Annie Dillard, former
postmistress of Auburn, now a res­ident
of Tulsa, Okla.
NOTICE
All freshmen or sophomores in­terested
in trying out for the sec­ond
band, please report to Lang­don
Hall Tuesdays and Thursdays
from 5 to 6 p. m. Vacancies oc-curing
the first band in the future
will be filled from the second
band.
NOTICE
The Second Section of Social
Dancing for those on the waiting
list will meet Thursday, Oct. 13,
at 8 p. ,m. Please call at 310 Sam-ford
Hall for permits.
From New York to Panama peo­ple
used to talk about the incom­parable
Auburn Spirit.
This afternoon the top goes
off the lid out at the W. P. A.
Hall as Al Katz and his Kit­tens
officially open up the
Opening Dances, or as they
are sometimes called, the
Sophomore Hop.
Decorations for the dance
have been arranged by the La­mar
brothers, Perry and Al­len,
and the Hall has been
prepared for a super set of
dances.
The bandstand has been decora­ted
with a backdrop bordered by
two large panels of white, on
which there are placed circles of
blue. In the center panel is a sil­houette
of a boy and a girl in a
dancing pose against a background
of blue, above which is a lighted
sign on a standout panel with "Al
Katz and His Kittens," in black
letters against a background of
orange. Above this is a canopy
of varicolored streamers running
from the edge of the panel and
grouped to the center above. The
center row of lights has been de­corated
with streamers of blue
running from the lights to the
ceiling, the lights themselves made
indirect with a reflector of fros­ted
paper.
Played At Auburn Before
Old-timers on the campus will
remember that "Al Katz and His
Kittens" played for another set
of Auburn dances back about 19-
29. In bringing this famous or­chestra-
leader to Auburn, Owen
stated that he believed that Katz,
who is an expert pantomimist as
well as a talented musician, will
please Auburn students. For Katz
is in every sense a showman. He
was the originator of the comedy
orchestra presentation, and today
is regarded as America's greatest
eccentric comedy band leader.
Aside from the comedy of the
famous leader, Al Katz and his
orchestra are finished artists when
it comes to presenting dance rhy­thm.
They offer original arrange­ments
of popular dance hits with
Al Katz's merrymaking intersper­sed
with the music.
Katz is a Music Corporation or­chestra
leader and picks "Tiger
Rag" as the "musician's national
anthem." He should be able to
swing out that piece, so familiar
to Auburn students.
Students Can Use Deposits
Administrative officials are al­lowing
any student who so wishes
to use one dollar of his contin­gent
deposit when he buys a
dance ticket. This will allow more
students to attend the day dances,
says Owen.
Prices for the set of dances is
$7.50;$4.50 for the Saturday dan­ces;
$3 for each night dance; and
$1 for each day dance.
The first dance, 4 p. m. to 6 p.
m. this afternoon will be especial­ly
for the freshmen, and there will
be two freshmen lead-outs and a
freshman no-break.
The grand march comes Satur­day
night and will be led by Sim­mons
Futch, sophomore class
president, and Elizabeth Ralls of
Gadsden.
Clubs For Recreational
Sports Are Open To All
Recreational sports clubs in bad­minton,
archery, and outing are

'Pep Week*
"Pep Week," sponsored by Omicron Delta
Kappa fraternity for the purpose of arous­ing
the old Auburn Spirit and directing the
aroused spirit into constructive channels, is
over.
During the week student-conducted con­vocations,
under the direction of ODK,
were held for all classes at which speakers
were presented representing the faculty, the
townspeople, the coaching staff, the foot­ball
team, the cheering staff, and the alum­ni.
Seniors, juniors, sophomores, and fresh­men
heard all these speakers condemn too-enthusiastic
mob spirit and plead for a re­vival
of the old Auburn Spirit. When the
floor was thrown open for discussion in
each convocation, students in the audience
joined their pleas to those of the speakers.
Thursday night one of the largest and most
enthusiastic crowds ever to give the team
a send-off gathered in Langdon Hall for
the pep rally sponsored by ODK and the
cheering staff.
But the eiid of "Pep Week" is only the
beginning of the actual work, for all the
aroused spirit must be kept alive.
There are evidences of the fact that the
efforts of the senior leaders in staging "Pep
Week" are bearing fruit. Students are talk­ing
of little now except the Auburn Spirit
and the proper way of supporting the team.
More "hey, fellow!" greetings are heard on
the campus; more freshmen are wearing their
rat caps; more "War Eagles" are ringing out
in the night. Upper-classmen in fraternities
and in boarding and rooming houses are
warning first year men not to be seen on
the streets without their rat caps. The fresh­men
themselves are rapidly falling into line.
If the upper-classmen will continue to set
the proper examples of traditional Auburn
friendliness, courtesy, and respect for the
customs of the institution, then Auburn
Spirit will not die, but grow and prosper.
For the freshmen are eager and willing to
fall into line. We know, for we were at their
convocation and heard and saw their re­action.
able to see. And a "War Eagle" blends just
as nicely from the ten-yard line as from the
forty.
Let's forsake our barbarous tactics when
the tickets go on sale for the Mississippi
State game. Everybody is going to get a
ticket. Why should anyone be maimed in the
rush? J-B.T.
Buying Tickets
Registration day is a battle at this insti­tution,
but the day that tickets go on sale for
a football game in Montgomery is nothing
less than a survival of the fittest. Students
begin to gather hours before the appointed
minute, and by the time the window opens
the gym is nothing but a struggling mass.
Some of the more eager students should
forsake the stands for the playing field—
they could open up a hole in any line the
Tigers have to face.
Why can't a method be arranged whereby
student tickets might be placed on sale the
week preceding the game? There are enough
seats to take care of everybody. A student
rarely sits in his own seat during an entire
game anyhow. All are inclined to group
themselves with friends and fraternity-brothers.
It really makes no difference
whether a seat is on the 50 yard line or in the
end zone—everybody is going to stand when
a spectacular play is made and you won't be
Spring Holidays
Spring vacations have always been mighty
bothersome for college officials even since the
earliest days of our oldest institutions. Wit­ness
the edict passed by the Princeton Uni­versity
board way back «n Sept. 12, 1759:
"Whereas, there is a peculiar Disposition
in the Students to go home some Days or
Weeks before the May Vacation and the
President is Obliged to spend near half his
time for almost a month before to hear a gfeat
Variety of Pleas and pretenses for that End;
and often times half or more upon a Variety
of Pretenses have got Liberty to go home be­fore
the time appointed which is attended with
many inconveniences;
It is ordered that this Practice be prevented
for the time to come, and that none be allowed
to go home at that time unless by Reason of
Sickness or some such extraordinary Occas-sion,
and that no pretenses be made that a
Horse is sent unless there be also a letter from
the parents or Guardian to the President Sig­nifying
some extraordinary Reason for it. And
that such Students Transcribe this Order and
send it to their Parents or Guardians some
months before the Vacation."
Last year, and the year before that . . .
the students of Alabama Poly have asked
for spring holidays, and last year, and the
year before that . . . they have been denied
them.
Each year there has been no mention of
holidays until spring was with us, and then
it was too late. By the time enough interest
has been raised among the students to make
the proposal to the college heads, the oppor­tunity
has slipped by and the story is re­peated
for another year. No holidays!
This year is likely to be a repetition of
past years. There is exactly nothing to base
any conclusions on that might lead one to
believe that this year will be different . . .
unless, there is some evidence of a real de­sire
for spring holidays before the time has
gone too far.
It has always been the excuse of the high­er-
ups, when a petition for holidays was pre­sented
to them, that the catalog had given
the schedule for the school's year and that
it would disrupt that schedule to take the
holidays just then. Of course, it was always
the hope of the students that the next year's
schedule would have spring holidays, but
somehow, those very same holidays have
just never turned up.
The matter lies with the fact that the
schedule is already made up when the com­plaint
is made. We wait until spring is with
us. The logical time for attack on the prob­lem
then, is now . . . and not after the cata­log
has been compiled and printed this sum­mer.
If the student body really wants spring
holidays, there is not one reason in the world
why they can not have them. Three thousand
students are a fairly sizeable body, and not
one that could be easily overlooked in any
demand they might make. There is force
in number, and if that force were to be ap­plied
in the right direction and at the right
time, we could, and would, have spring hol­idays.

ABOUT THOSE DANCES—
from all indications it seems that
the dances will be so crowded
with the Social Committee that
nobody will be able to dance, and
partly because there is nobody to
dance with. I will do my part by
buying a bag of peanuts and sit­ting
in the gallery outside if nec­essary.
That being because my
contingent deposit is already shot,
it being taken for granted that
my pocket book is hanging rather
liniply because of the intense
strain suffered from the short
visit to New Orleans.

FROM THE LOOKS OF

feel like burnng the midnight oil,
you had just as well burn the
books. The professors get tougher
about these things every year. -

LETTERS TO THE EDITOR
The End
"The earth is degenerating in these latter
days. There are signs that the world is speed­ily
coming to an end. Bribery and corrup­tion
abound. Every man wants to write a
book, and it is evident that the end of the
world is speedily approaching."
President Frederick C. Perry of Hamil­ton
College cites these writings taken from
an Assyrian tablet dated 2000 B. C. as proof
that political prophecy for a dismal future
has always been prevalent.
In this-way, we suppose, Dr. Perry im­plies
that we ought not to be so concerned
about contemporary happenings. Although
war is eminent, although concepts of state are
being torn down and rebuilt, his argument
would seem to be that these conditions have
always existed. Why should we'try to change
them?
This attitude of accepting passively things
as they are seems to have taken hold in many
parts of the country, particularly on college
campuses. Personally, we hold little truck
with such luke-warm acceptance and com­promise.
We are all for crusading and for
change.

Hi, Godbold!—
1 Wednesday after the freshman
reception and the splendid prog­ram
there I got my rat cap out
of the moth balls, and I'm going
to wear it.
From now on I'm going to say
"Hi!" to everyone I meet on the
campus, from Dr. Duncan on
down. When pep rallies and games
come, I'm going to support the
team and Auburn by cheering my­self
hoarse and not by running
hog-wild through the streets.
In my estimation, any other
rat that doesn't feel the same way
has something missing where his
heart and soul ought to be. I don't
think a true Auburn man could
go to a meeting like that one Wed­nesday
and not come away a lit­tle
bigger and better man after
hearing Coach Jordan and Mayor
Yarbrough and Dr. Allen speak,
in good humor and in seriousness,
about Auburn and its traditions
and after hearing you try so hard
to tell us what the Auburn Spirit
meant to you as a senior.
As a freshman I would like
to thank everyone who had any­thing
to do with "Pep Week," for
it started me on the right road to
being a true Auburn man.
Thanks,
Freshman
P. S. This letter means a lot to
me, so if there are any errors,
please correct them before pub­lishing.

may not be so good in
spots, freshman, but your heart's

Dear Sir:
I have been thinking a little a-bout
what should be done at the
Mississippi State game in Mont­gomery
to prove to the team and
the spectators that there is still a
student body at Auburn that is
very anxious to see their team on
top.
I wonder if we could have a mil­itary
parade in Montgomery. An
orderly parade would certainly
look good, and I am in favor of
it. I think we, the student body,
should be the ones to decide what
should be done.
I have discussed the idea with
a number of students, and they
were for it. Students, let me hear
from you. Write what you think
of the idea, or make any sugges­tion
you wish. We can put Au­burn
on top, and why not do it?
Your truly,
A Student

Have you boys noticed that
foreign KEY that Emily Hixon
wears around her neck which

Have you noticed that certain
look in the eyes of the little co-ed

brought down here from his
home town? You figure it out—
we can't.
Have you boys noticed this lit­tle
Elizabeth Leyden and what a
blank expression she wears on her
face, what can it be.?

that one of the Good-bowl

Dear Sir:
I know you have numerous let­ters
from students who are send­ing
forth new ideas. Please con­sider
this one. «
Next week we go down to Mont­gomery
to the Mississippi game
at the expense of the Athletic As­sociation.
They are furnishing
trains both to and from the games
and free tickets also. I propse hat
all the R. O. T. C. students as­semble
by companies and march on
Montgomery as L. S. U. did in
'36 at Birmingham. We all recall
what a grand show L. S. U. put on
and how the people there talked
about it for months afterwards.
Why not assemble as soon as the
train arrives and have a parade
with the R. O. T. C. unit leading
the procession? We are striving to
renew that grand old Auburn
Spirit, and I believe this would be
an aid.
Minor details could be worked
by the military office.
What do you say, students? Let's
rriarch on Montgomery in full
dress uniform and let Montgom­ery
known we have the finest
and best school spirit in the nation.
Sincerely,
W. H. S.
burn Spirit. A spirit that will nev­er
die. The new Auburn Spirit
consists of a greater spirit in ev­ery
way, greater loyalty, higher
ambitions, more decency, and an
increase in the quality of our
scholastic work.
In closing this little note of ov­erflowing
spirit, I wish to say that
if we as a school want to continue
to grow and prosper we must
forget the unpleasant, advertise
the good, and pass our school
work.

Dear Sir:
A question has come up in my
mind regarding the legality of the
Alabama Polytechnic Institute's
right to make a charge for the reg­istering
of automobiles owned by
students attending this college. I
would like to state first that I am
not an owner of an automobile
and am merely writing this letter
to obtain more information to sat­isfy
my own curosity concerning
the laws and regulations of the
state of Alabama. I would like to
know, if this charge is a tax be­ing
placed on the students in at­tendance
here or a charge being
made by some hidden protective
association formed secretly among
the officials of the Alabama Poly­technic
Institute.
If this is a tax, I am laboring
under the false impression that
only municipal organizations, such
as states, counties, and cities are
permitted to levy taxes. There­fore,
I would like to have it ex­plained
to me just how the Ala­bama
Polytechnic Institute can
levy a tax, when it is not a muni­cipal
organization falling under
one of the above heads. It is a
private organization under the di­rect
supervision of the state and
federal authorities, and I do not
believe that any such organiza­tion
may levy a tax on its own
authority. The students are al­ready
paying a tax for the owner­ship
and protection of their cars.
This is done by the buying of a
license from the state. I do not
see how the college expects to
give the students better protec­tion
than our state highway de­partment,
when it is a much smal­ler
organization. ,
If this is a charge made by a
protective association, the associa­tion
has no right to force the stu­dents
to become members, which
they are attempting to do. It ap­pears
to me from this point of
view that someone is getting their
share of graft out of this so-call­ed
registration. I am sure that
it does not require fifty cents per
car to register the automobiles.
This institution is attempting to
force the students to register then-cars
by threatening to make the
students dispose or the car, which
is illegal in is own aspect. I am
well 'aware of the fact that each
student obligates himself to obey
the rules and regulations of A. P.
I., but I do not believe that this
gives the institute any right or
privilege to rob the poor pocket-book
of the student.
I do, hereby, defy and challenge
any official of the Alabama Poly­technic
Institute to explain away
the above facts.
Sincerly yours,
Auburn Ghost No. II

WASHINGTON BELIEVES that
President Roosevelt's reorganiza­tion
bill will be presented again
to Congress at its next meeting.
During the last session, the bill
went down in defeat.
As is sometimes the case, Con­gress
seemed not to consider the
legislation on it merits. Of course,
many branches of the govern­ment
are excellent in their ef­ficiency,
but others need reorgan­ization.
A realignment of some
agencies would mean economies
in time and money and more ef­ficient
service. It would mean
fewer government jobs—and that
is where the rub comes.
Of course, members of Con­gress
cannot calmly stand by and
see abolished jobs which often are
filled by their uncles, cousins,
nieces, friends, and campaign
helpers. Even if it would be best
for the government, it would be
bad politics to upset the old vote-getting
gravy train.
Undoubtedly, some opponents
of the bill were sincere in their
objections to it; however, they
certainly did not constitute a
group large enough to defeat it.
If and when this bill comes up
again conscientious voters owe it
to themselves as taxpayers to put
the pressure on their representa­tives
in Congress demanding that
they see to it that a little govern­mental
efficiency is not subordi­nated
to a Washington job for
good old Bill Smith, that back-slapping
jolly good parasite on
society.

ODK PEP WEEK is serving its
purpose well. The campus is un­dergoing
a revival of the Auburn
Spirit such as has not been seen
in several years. However, the
movement should not stop with
what has been done; it should be
a continuing movement. Everyone
in Auburn has caught the spirit
of the rebirth and now is the
time to capitalize on it.
Some of the fraternities and
boarding houses have already is­sued
orders for their freshmen to
wear their rat caps, attend pep
meetings, and observe the old
traditions. Other groups should
follow that lead.
In keeping with the other plans
which have been worked out, why
can't the freshmen—rat caps and
all— be seated in one section at
the Mississippi State game. An ar­rangement
like this would furnish
an effective display and be the
nucleus of a great cheering sec­tion.

GOVERNOR GEORGE EARLE
and his Democratic machine in
Pennsylvania have been put on the
run by a recent decision of the
Supreme Court of that state.
Not long ago a grand jury in­vestigation
of some of the activ­ities
of the Earle group was be­gun.
The governor hastily sum­moned
his Democratic legislature
and enacted laws which gave the
legislature the right to conduct an
investigation previous to that of
the grand jury. And of course,
the legislative committee appoint­ed
to investigate the Democrats
was composed of a majority of
Democrats.
Now the Supreme Court has in­validated
the legislature's enact­ments
and directed the grand jury
to proceed with its probe.
Probably the Democratic ma­chine
in Pennsylvania needs a
little investigating. It came into
power in 1934 after fifty years
of Republican control of the state.
According to the prediction of Ar­thur
Clapper, the nation's out­standing
Washington correspon­dent,
its none-tou-clean hands
since that time may cause the
Democrats to lose Pennsylvania
in the 1940 presidential election.

Dear Ed:
So far this year I think you
have done an excellent piece of
work with the school paper.
However, your gossip columns
could be improved upon some­what.
Now, it's all right to put lit­tle
personal quips in them, men­tioning
names, but when it comes
to pass that a gossip writer be­gins
appointing herself or himself
judge of such an abstract thing
as personality, that's going just
a trifle too far. Your gossip writ­ers
should become familiar with
the very blunt and frank Dr.
Johnson's remark, "Who am I to
judge a man when God Almighty
himself doesn't intend to do so
until the end of time?"
My name has never appeared
in any gossip column, and I have
been here nearly four years, so
this letter is not a squawking for
any personal reason; but, serious­ly,
Ed, I don't think that three or
four cracks about two or three of
our co-eds have been exactly ap­propriate.
Sincerely,
Staff Member.
Editor's note: Thanks for giv­ing
us a poke in the ribs about
this. At times we grow slack
in applying the editorial "bine
pencil." We'll keep an eye open
for such things in the future.
It is your obligation to say, "hi,
fellow!" to everyone you meet on
the campus.

Jordan Speaks On
Football Scouting
The intricate job of football
scouting was the subject of a talk
by. Coach Ealph Jordan before
the Auburn Lions Club at the
Thomas Hotel this week.
In the old days, said Coach Jor­dan,
it was difficult to get advan­ce
information on other football
teams. However, it is now the gen­eral
practice for coaches to. accord
visiting scouts the utmost cour­tesy
in providing them with choice
tickets and frequently allowing
them to view the game from any
part of the stadium.
A football scout he said, is al­ways
on the lookout for certain
mannerisms of players which
serve as a "tip-off" on the forth­coming
play. Such "tip-offs," how­ever,
are rather scarce among
Auburn's well-coached opponents,
he added.
By observing a future opponent
in two or three games, a scout
learns assignments of players on
various offensive formations and
endeavors to locate points of
weakness in their defense. The
scout also obtains as complete in­formation
as possible on abilities
of the various players, said
Coa<& Jordan.

Football swung into form stride
in the season's second week. Sev­eral
pre-season favorites tumbled
before drives of comparative un­knowns
in the first serious scram­ble
towards the top of the list.
Strong elevens pulled out ahead.
According to the Williamson
Hating, Columbia toppled Yale 27
to 14, Idaho tied Washington 12
to 12, Bradley tied Chicago 0 to 0,
Missouri bumped Colorado 14 to
7, Brown humbled Harvard 20 to
13 in an upset predicted as pos­sible,
Minnesota broke Coach Biff
Jones' first game victory record
by defeating Nebraska 16 to 7, and
Notre Dame smothered Kansas 52
to 0.
A few major upsets rocked foot­ball's
citadels. Probably the
greatest of these marked against
the System was Tulane's scoreless
tie with Abuurn for the third
consecutive year. Santa Clara up­set
the form sheet by beating Stan­ford
22 to 0.

More Work To Be
Done On Stadium
With the definite approval of
the proposed football stadium and
physical education building to be
constructed on the campus, a
dream of several years standing
is about to come true for Au­burn.
Construction on both pro­jects
will start before Jan. 1, 1939.
Dr. L. N. Duncan, president,
was notified last Saturday that
the PWA has approved Auburn's
application of a grant to build
the stadium and physical educa­tion
bulding, along with other
buildings at Auburn, and that pre­liminary
plans had been drawn
up for the projects which, under

From the PWA funds, the first

seating capacity of 20,000 will be
built. The .first unit will have
seats for 7,500.
Much work toward the con­struction
of a stadium at the
Plains has already been done. The
field, located west of Drake Field,
has been graded, surfaced and lev­eled
off; banks cut, tile laid for
drainage and a mammoth culvert
installed. With all this prelimi­nary
work done the field is in ex­cellent
shape for the construction
of the concrete stands to begin.

Marx Brothers To
Play Af Martin
Absent from the screen for more
than a year, the Marx Brothers
make an auspicious return to the
Martin Theater Sunday and Mon­day,
in what has been described
as their funniest vehicle to date,
"Room Service."
Adapted from the smash com­edy
which had New York audi­ences
in an uproar for more than
sixty-one weeks, "Room Service"
provides the three zanies with a
ready-made story embodying the
daffy situations and rollicking
complications which always fit
their peculiar comedy style.
In "Room Service," a shoe-

doesn't harm the pads. The 55c jar should
last you all summer.

Tracy-Rooney Star
Ai Tiger Theater
"Boys Town," starring Spencer
Tracy and Mickey Rooney, brings
the most colorful, human and ex­citing
of real-life stories to the
screen, proof again that "truth
is stranger than fiction." The pic­ture
open Sunday for two days'
engagement at the Tiger Theater.
More than a year ago, Metro-
Goldwyn-Mayer became interest­ed
in Boys Town, the only in­corporated
village ' of its kind in
the world. This city of little men
has a population of 275, of which
200 are boys, and is situated on
the main highway west of Omaha,
Neb. It is twenty-one years old,
a dream come true, the dream of
one of the greatest and most kind­ly
humanitarians of our time,
Father Edward J. Flanagan.
Tracy's, memorable performance
as Father Tim in "San Francis­co"
made him the perfect choice
to portray Father Flanagan on the
screen. Father Flanagan thought
ciate his. The miracle belongs to
Sigma Chi's Rollins Aldridge (who
doesn't drink smoke, or neck—
much, but otherwise a good fra­ternity
man) who lent it to his
girl one morning to play with.
But Girl strangled it by Samford
and left it in care of itself. Came
noon, and no Austin. Came dark,
and weary owner came upon it
resting by Ramsay. Attached was
the following note: "If you wish
to sell or trade—see Waller Cran-ford
304 S. Gay." It pays to ad­vertise
Waller—matter being giv­en
serious thought.
For all the neophytes who in­tend
to regain that widely-discus­sed
Auburn Spirit in the form of
jive and pitsam, this week-end
promises to be THE OCCASS-HUN!
A loss for the North but, gain
for the South is Doris Carpenter,
Chi Omega pledge.
Comes to my erring ears a slam

"She Snoops To Conquer." Well—

For this issue, the Glomerata
presents A. Meadow's Garage, of
long standing in service to Au­burn
and one of the most con­sistent
supporters of the Glome­rata.
Founded in 1915 by A. Mead­ows,
the present proprietor, the
garage was built on the present
location of Ben Moring's Store,
moving later, in 1919, to Jones
Block where it saw uninterrupted
serivce till 1925, when the garage
burned. In 1926, A'. Meadow's
Garage was rebuilt on its pres­ent
location on West Glenn just
off of College Street. Since then,
a separate filling station has been
added to the garage on the cor­ner
of Glenn and College, the
filling station being rebuilt com­pletely
last year along the most
modern of lines in filling sta­tions.
The garage is one of the best
equipped in this section, includ- Tmous with hydrophobia (fear of
ing a fender and body shop, wreck­er
service, overhauling depart­ment,
and complete stocks in
tires, parts replacement, gas, oil,
and automotive supplies of all
type.
The filling station carries Stan­dard
Oil products, and is equip­ped
to give you the best of wash-so,
too, and it was Tracy's selec­tion
for the role that influenced
him to approve the filming of
"Boys Town." This gives Tracy a
distinction no other star has en­joyed,
that of playing a living man
as the leading character of a mot­ion
picture. In a featured sup­porting
role is Henry Hull as Dave
Morris. Hull also is playing a real
person, the Jewish merchant who
financed Father Flanagan's first
venture in founding a home for
boys and became his greatest
friend. In addition, the picture
gives important parts to Leslie
Fenton and to Gene Reynolds.

Veterinary Notes
By H. B. Title
IN A RECENT TALK delivered
by Dr. Leach, affiliated with the
Rockefeller Foundation in Mont­gomery.
Several salient facts con­cerning
rabies were made known.
Rabies, one of .the most dread­ed
diseases of both man and anim­als
alike, still remains unsolved.
The cry of "mad dog" never fails
to instill fear in the hearts of
all that may be caught in its path.
From a historical standpoint, ra­bies
is one of the oldest know di­seases.
The existence of rabies has
been reported in Egyptian manu­scripts
as far back as 600 B. C.
Very little was known as to the
cause of rabies; at first it was
thought to be spontaneous, and
it was steeped deep in supersti­tion.
One of the so-called reme­dies
commonly practiced, was to
immerse a rabid dog in water for
a certain length of time. This
"cure" was based on the assump­tion
that rabies which is synony-water)
would be overcome by the
immersion and thus produce a
cure.
No intensive work was done on
ing and lubrication jobs. It has
long been noted for efficient and
thorough service. Help your Glom­erata

Garage.

rabies until Pasteur announced his
famous treatment in 1884. Further
research was conducted by Negri,
an Italian scientist, who in 1903,
described the finding of a certain
type of "body" in the cells of the
central nervous system—especial­ly
in the large ganglion cells of
the hippocampus major, and in
the purkinje cells of the cerebel­lum—
of animals dead of rabies.
These "negri bodies," as they
were called proved diagnostic of
rabies.
