Semi-Weekly Tuesday Edition 3Mj£ Auburn ^lam0man Attend Torch Parade Thursday VOL. LXII Z-I AUBURN, ALABAMA, TUESDAY, OCTOBER 18, 1938 NUMBER 13 Will Musical Miscellany Nets ODK Big Gate For Tennis Courts McGehee Announces That $120 Has Been Given By Fraternity To Tennis Courts Auburn students, faculty members, and townspeople showed their interest in tennis courts by turning out 500 strong to attend ODK's Musical Miscellany, given last night in Langdon Hall. The miscellany was a variety program of musical entertainment, the proceeds of which went into a fund to build ten tennis courts in rear of the men's gymnasium. The stage was decorated by Perry and Allen Lamar to create a night club atmosphere for Club Deltakap. As the curtain rose, the Auburn Knights were playing their distinctive versions of current popular dance tunes. After several pieces by this organization, the master of ceremonies introduced the first entertainer of the evening, Oliver Ulmer, who played two numbers on his accordion. Club Deltakap's second feature was Billy Lawrence, singing "Change Partners" and "For You." Then the stringless fiddler, Perry Lamar, brought down the house with his interpretation of "Soap Bubbles, from Naptha." Robin Russell accompanied him at the piano. Laurens Pierce was next at the mike, whistling two numbers with the Knights forming a background for his medley. Then Hodge's Ebony Quartet rendered three songs, last among which was "Glory to old Auburn." In contrast, Club Deltakap next presented Paul Rudolph at the piano. He played two pieces, and the audience demanded another, but he refused the encore. Kitty Shepard Reeves then did a nov-lty tap dance to the music of the Knights. To bring the first half of the program to a close, the Knights played another number, with Chick Hatcher stealing the show with a hot trumpet solo. The curtains closed as the Knights played .their theme song. The master of ceremonies asked the audience to express its appreciation to the Knights and the other entertainers for their contributions to the program, and he was answered with a long and loud applause. As the curtain was drawn open for the second part of the program the newly organized Collegians were on the bandstand and played two numbers. Continuing the floorshow, Lem Edmonson and John Famharn san "Sweet Sue" and an encore number. Then the "Three Dukes," Sam Teague, L. E. Foster, and E. O. Pearson, sang "Old King Cole" and "Glory, Glory to Old Auburn." Accompanied by Paul Rudolph at the piano, Albion Knight, sang two pieces, one semi-classical and one dance number. Max Rachman, who was expected to play a piano solo at this time, fooled the crowd and the master of ceremonies by playing three pieces on the accordion. He received a tremendous applause. Then came the Snickelfritzers. Lawrence Lee and six members of the Auburn band strode out in their 1890 costumes, and played like the lads in the olden days used to play on the streetcorners. After two more delightful numbers by the Collegians, the curtain, was drawn in order that the stage might be cleared for the grand finale. With accompanyment by Grady Dailey, pianist, the ODK chorus girls presented the grand finale, a legshow, featuring ten femininely clad members of ODK. According to Billy McGehee, secretary and treasurer of ODK, approximately $120 was made on the evening's program. This money was immediately turned over to E. B. Smith, director of intramural sports for Auburn. NOTICE There . will be an FFA dance Saturday night at 9 in the WPA Hall. Admission is 50 per couple, 75 cents for stag. Players Present Four-Ad Play Thursday Excellent Characterizations Given By Student Actors; Large Crowd There By J. H. Wheeler Led by a group of veteran actors, the Auburn Players presented the four-act paradox, "Behold this Dreamer," last Thursday night before a crowd of 600 in Langdon Hall. Arthur Elsberry as Charley Turner gave his best performance since that of Francis Lightfoot in "Wings Over Europe" two years ago. His acting was even, and his smoothness helped to hold together the more inexperienced actors with whom he was often on the stage. , Lillian Jane Smith was a center of attention as Clara Turner, disagreeable wife "of Charley. Her flat voice and unrefined ways frequently sent the audience into gales of laughter. Prompter Helen Barnes counted 70 laughs from the audience in the first act alone, and it is a safe estimate that over half of them were for Clara. Mary Carmack played one of her best roles. Her voice rang out clearly, and her characterization of the complex part of Melodie was convincing. Bill Hall as Strickler demonstrated his acting talent once more by a smooth, steady performance. Though their acting was ragged in spots, the "Intelligentia" of Warren Bridges, Knox Millsap, and Dick Hall were the successes of the evening so far as the audience was concerned. Especially did Millsap as Tanneyday bring laughs by his mania for neckties. Dick Hall as Harold Blessings, One by One, also captured the crowd's fancy, and Warren Bridges as D. D. D. held them spellbound by his "Mad" scene in Act n. Bob Foster as Harris was new to the Players, but his scenes with Clara in Act III were perhaps as smoothly done as any in the play. As Constance Lane, Ruth Riddle marred an otherwise good performance by an unfortunate break in Act I. Of the minor characters, Piggies, the asylum keeper, was played by O. Martin Holland, and the Maid by Doris Sisson. The story of "Behold this Dreamer" is that of Charley Turner, a young man who in his ambition to become a painter is driven to desperation by the nagging of his prosaic wife and her equally uninteresting relatives. He sets out deliberately to tantilize them, and after a wild flight in which he advocates nudism to his father-in-law John Strickler, is sent to a private sanitorium for a "mental rest." Here he meets four delightful people, who are in sharp contrast to the "sane" persons he has known outside: Melodie, the ex-artists's- model afflicted with melancholia, and the "Intelligentia," three eccentric gentlemen who set him on the road to becoming an artist. After he has spent six (Continued On Page Six) Miss Gatchell Will Make Design For Banquet Miss Dana Gatchell, professor of home economics at the Alabama Polytechnic Institute, will design and make the candle holders and center pieces for the elaborate banquet to be held by the Associated Women of the American Farm Bureau Federation at the annual convention in New Orleans in December. The design will be executed in a motif of fruits and vegetables and will be done in gum paste and marzipan with a background of silver.

Speaker To Address Business Students Ed Reed, executive secretary of the Alabama League of Municipalities, will speak to students in the business department tomorrow morning at 10 o'clock. This announcement was made by L. E Foster, President of Delta Sigma Pi, which organization is sponsoring the speaker. Mr. Reed has made a special study of government and is to address the group on the subject of government, bringing into his speech pertinent facts about the relationship between government and business. He has contributed a number of constructive suggestions to our lawmaking bodies, and he is held in high esteem as an analyst of government and government procedure. This speech will be the second of a series of business speeches planned by the business and professional fraternity, Delta Sigma Pi, the first speaker having been George Bellsnyder, Birmingham. Classes are to be excused to hear Mr. Reed, and students are required to attend. A name-slip arrangement, similar to that which is used at current events classes, will be in effect, and students who miss the assembly will receive a two per cent cut, as though they had missed a regular class. Previous to the speech Dean J. W. Scott is to make the presentation of the Delta Sigma Pi Scholarship Cup, which was won by Herndon McGehee. His average was 95.69. A cup is annually a-warded the freshman in the business department who has the highest average. McGehee's mark is one of the highest that has ever been made. The speech is to be delivered in Langdon Hall at 10 o'clock, and it is open to the public. Betts Addresses ASCE On Construction Of Levees J. E. Betts, senior student in civil engineering, delivered an interesting talk last evening at the weekly meeting of the American Society of Civil Engineers. The content of Mr. Betts' talk involved the design and construction of levees on the Mississippi River. After finishing his junior year at Auburn, Mr. Betts has been employed in levee work for the last six years in Memphis, Tenn. He has now reenrolled in Auburn to complete his college work for graduation. Mr. Betts' talk was the first of a series of talks that will be given by student members of the A. S. C. E. At frequent times, the A. S. C. E. will collaborate with all other engineering societies to obtain prominent engineers from the South to come to Auburn and speak at joint meetings of these societies. Photographs With all the many camera-fans around the campus there ought every week to be numerous pictures taken that possess news value. The Plainsman has money to spend on news cuts, but we are so tied down with routine of putting out the paper that we do not have time to plan ahead of time to have pictures of events made especially for the paper. Yet we want them and know that students want more pictures in the paper. We wish all the student photographers on the campus who take pictures that they think have news value would bring them by and let us see them. We can pay nothing for the photograph itself, but will be glad to give credit to the person taking it if we use it. The kind of photograph? Almost any kind. For instance, a good shot of the freshman pa-jama parade last Thursday night would have been swell in this issue of the paper along with shots of the game in Montgomery and the parade there. We can use candid shots of personalities on the campus for feature stories .'. . shots of the cadets at drill . . . pictures of the cheerleaders in action or of a group of freshmen with their mouths opened wide for a War Eagle . . . We don't mean that we can use everything. By no means. But we would like to see what some of you are taking. The Editor. 200 Free Tickets To Be Given To Play Wednesday Prof. J. R. Rutland announced today that 200 students will be given free tickets to the matinee performance of the Jitney Players Wednesday afternoon at 3:15 provided they will call for them and submit their athletic ticket books at the desk on the first floor of Samford Hall Wednesday morning. The tickets will be given to the first 200 students who apply Wednesday morning. This concession will be given to 200 students who have not purchased season tickets to the 1938- 39 Concert Series because two performances of Maxwell Anderson's play, "Both Your Houses," by the Jitney Players have been arranged. By having both the matinee and evening performances, the 756 purchasers of season tickets may be accommodated and also allow seats for 200 others. Holders of season tickets are asked to make their reservations for either the matinee of evening performance by calling at the desk in Samford Hall not later than noon Wednesday. Kelly Receives Blue Key Award The annual Blue Key Outstanding Player Award was presented to Spec Kelly, Tiger halfback luminary, following the victory of Auburn over the strong Mississippi State contingent. The cup presentation was made by Allen Martin in' the presence of other members of Blue Key in the center of the field at Cramton Bowl. It was Kelly who sparked the Tiger offense to the 20 to 6 defeat of the Maroons with two touchdowns to his credit, one of them a 96 yard return of the kickoff opening the second half that will long live in the memory of the delirious Auburn fans who saw him thread his way through, not being touched by a single Mississippi man after passing his own 35 yard marker. Kelly had previously scored Auburn's first six points with a jaunt around end after a long drive toward the Maroon's goal line in the opening minutes of the game. The sports writers in the press box were unanimous in the selection of Kelly as the game's outstanding player. They were also unanimous in their acclaim of the great team that played with Kelly in giving the Maroons a decisive setback, and the award could well have gone to almost anyone on the Tiger eleven. K Members of Blue Key who participated in the presentation were Shelton Pinion, Jack Owen, Horace Weissinger, Roy Taylor, Oliver Fletcher, Andy Cox, Dallas Benton, Foy Laseter, Jim Swan-ner, Dave Roberts, Joe Crooks, and president Allen Martin. Former Auburn Student Is Manager Of Jitney Players Phil Tippin, former student at Auburn in electrical engineering, will return to the campus on Wednesday as general manager and booking agent for the Jitney Players. , Mr. Tippin, whose home is in Brewton, went to Carnegie Tech where he studied dramatics after leaving Auburn in 1926. While here he was a member of the Auburn Players and appeared in a number of productions along with Dryden Baughman, librarian for the School of Chemistry. Mr. Tippin is a cousin to Frances Tippin, secretary to the Accountant's Office. The Jitney Players are scheduled to present two performances (3:15 and 8:15 p. m.) to Langdon Hall of Maxwell Anderson's Pulitzer prize play, "Both Your Houses." The play is the second attraction to' Auburn 1938-39 Concert Series. Students Will March Through Town In Colorful Parade Drexel Institute officials have started a move to nationalize fraternities at that institution. Auburn-Tech Rally To Be Broadcast Friday At 8 Officials Of Atlanta And Of Both Colleges To Speak On Program Another pre-game broadcast will take place Friday night at 8 o'clock from the studios of WSB to Atlanta with Charles Burns in charge of arrangements. This broadcast will be an Auburn- Georgia Tech pep rally with students and officials of both schools taking part. In charge of Tech's part is E. Boyd Sutton Jr., president of the Interfraternity and Student Council of that school. Charles Burns, assisted by Kirt-ley Brown and Elmer Salter, head Auburn's arrangements. With Governor E. D. Rivers and Mayor William B. Hartsfield on hand to extend the official greetings of the city and state, Auburn's leaders will be George Knight, president of the Interfraternity Council; Bill Troup, newly appointed Pep Manager; L. E. Foster, president of O. D. K.; Head Coach Jack Meagher, and Alumni Secretary Porter Grant. From Georgia Tech will be E. Boyd Sutton Jr., president of the Interfraternity and Student Council; Coach Bill Alexander; The Tech Ramblers, collegiate orchestra; and President M: L. Brittain. Sports will be to charge of Elmer Salter, Auburn sports writer; Kenneth Gregory of the Associated Press; Morgan Blake and O. B. Keeler of the Atlanta Journal; Ed Danforth of the Georgian; and Jack Troy of the Constitution. The WSB staff orchestra under the baton of Marcus Bartlett will furnish the music for the program with specialties by the Tech Ramblers. The broadcast will be held from the Georgian ballroom of the Bilt-more Hotel, studios of the station, to order to accommodate larger crowds. All Auburn students are invited to attend. Whitten, Auburn Grid Star, Is Seriously Injured Norman "Chink" Whitten, graduate here last year, was seriously injured Wednesday afternoon in football at Notasulga, where he is athletic director at the high school. During practice Whitten received a ruptured intestine and had to be rushed to Opelika for an emergency operation. It was thought for some time that there was little hope for his recovery. Latest reports are that he has revived and is practically out of danger. His injury came while he was demonstrating to his charges the blocking of the dummy. While a student here "Chink" was a star performer on the gridiron, and was the backstop mainstay for the Tiger diamond aggregation for three years. Last summer he was a member of the Montgomery Bombers baseball squad, and is scheduled to report to the Philadelphia Phillies in the spring for a trial in the major leagues. CORRECTION In some of the copies of this issue in the Western Railway Ad on page three, the price of the round trip ticket on the "Auburn Special" leaving here at 8 a. m. Saturday for Atlanta was given as $1.- 90. The price should be $2.90. The train will arrive in Atlanta at 11 a. m. The return trip will begin at 7:30 Saturday night. The middle-west is the most tal-erant section of the U. S., according to Elton Sakamoto, a Japanese Sioux Falls College student who has traveled widely in this country. A combination torchlight parade and shirt-tail parade will be held Thursday night immediately after the pep rally at Langdon Hall, according to an announcement made this morning by Pep Manager Bill Troup. At 8 p. m. Thursday students will assemble at Langdon Hall, where they will be addressed by Haygood Patterson, sheriff of Montgomery County, arid Porter Grant, Alumni Secretary. The Auburn band will be there, as well as the cheering squad. Freshmen are urged to come with a torch prepared for the parade and with their shirt tails out. The torches will be lighted immediately after the rally at Langdon, and the student body will parade downtown in honor of the team. Troup called attention to the fact that in the old days when a parade was held to Auburn that nothing remained on the sidewalks watching except the dogs and that most of them even joined to. All the student body is urged to join in the celebration instead of jamming the street up at Toomer's and preventing the parade from being formed. Persons riding in cars are requested not to double-park uptown so as to watch the celebration, as it blocks the already congested street. Rowland Is Leading Man In Play Douglas Rowland, young lead-tog man with the Jitney Players who appear here in Langdon Hall for matinee and evening performance on Wednesday, Oct. 19, ran away from school at 17 to go on the stage. Two years later he was leading man with the Detroit Players. At first he played everything from the offstage voice to a character bit. The play to be nresented here by the Jitney Players is Maxwell Anderson's Pulitzer prize drama, "Both your Houses," a sensational expose of Washington politics. The matinee performance will begin at 3:15 and the evening performance at 8:15. In Detroit the stock company cast Mr. Rowland in such diversified roles as the title part in "The Bad Man" to the juvenile to "The Monster." From this troupe he was recruited into the famous Jesse Bonstelle Company in Detroit. With the Jitney Players, which Mr. Rowland joined in 1929, he has acted half the great parts in •the English language on coast to coast tours. His performances so moved Ina Grotte, a Houston critic that she wrote of him, "He is the finest actor I have ever seen." George Holland to Boston claims, "Rowland has more power and personality than half the leading men to New York and Hollywood. Privilege Riding For BOTC Seniors And Juniors Begins Riding privileges will be extended to Field Artillery juniors and seniors who have had equitation or were to the mounted battery at camp. The hours will be from 1 to 3 p. m. Saturdays and Sundays. A-bout 30 horses will be available each day. Those desiring to avail themselves of privilege riding may obtain a privilege riding card at the Military Office. As last year, a picture must be made to be pasted to the card. NOTICE Student auto tags have come and may be obtained at the office of the Executive Secretary to Samford Hall. A few students have not yet registered their cars. Attention is called to the fact that the deadline for registering is past.

There were, of course, some examples of thoughtless foolishness and vandalism by some muddle-headed undesirables, but on the whole conduct was good. Cheering at the game was better than for any contest so far. It looks like a true revival, folks. May it last. Scoreboard For Gym Congratulations are in order for both O. D. K. and Blue Key for their cooperative efforts toward "erecting a permanent and neat scoreboard in the men's gymnasium. Work on the scoreboard has begun, and it should not be long before it is installed. The reciprocal, friendly, and constructive spirit exhibited by the two senior honor societies this year is most encouraging. Too often in the past the members of the two or ganizations have thought only in terms of outdoing each other. The welfare of the school and the student body received little attention. Keen rivalry between senior honor organizations is all right, but when it sinks to the status of childish efforts to work off personal grudges, then we are against such organizations. This year has seen less of the childish spirit and more of the manly, constructive spirit on the part of the two organizations. Both are doing splendid work. Good Cheering Henceforth, anyone having any criticism to be directed at the cheerleaders had best say it under his breath. For the cheering in the east stands at the game Friday night was nothing short of an uproar. One loudspeaker brought more out of the students than a hundred years of hollering could have accomplished. Charlie O'Reilly behind a microphone has it over him behind a megaphone like a dollar over a dime. Congratulations to Bill Troup and the cheerleaders for their resourcefulness. It was a great step in pushing the Auburn spirit to the ceiling. R.T. Co-Ed Glee Club Auburn has been a co-educational school since 1892; it is next to the oldest co-educational school in the south. Since the institution of courses here for women, there have been many campus activities that have been introduced for their benefit, but in one thing, there has been a decided absence. Auburn has no girls' glee club. Two years ago, an attempt was made to organize such a glee club. The idea was taken up by an adequate number of women students to form a club, but after the second or third meeting, their number had dwindled to a mere handful. The result was that there was no glee club. Even last year, another try at organizing the club was started, but as had been the lot of those before, the idea was dropped after the first few meetings. This year, there are about 450 women students registered in school. This number, although comparatively small to the number of boys, is considerably higher than the registration in many of the strictly girls' schools that hove glee clubs. There is no reason then why we should not have a girls' glee club, at least, as concerns the quantity there is to choose from. There are those that would like to see such a club formed and those that are willing to work a little to get it started. If they would push the matter just a little and get the en-husias'ra of a large group of girls, Auburn would see the formation of a successful girls' glee club. L.P. College Wit Auburn is growing up! More students have come here this year than ever before. But, alas! the boy's boarding houses, the men's dorms, and Toomer's corner have not grown up. Last year's wits still remain, with a seeming influx of new ones. And all of this waggery is aimed at the co-eds who pass by. For instance: "I'll take the one in the middle," when there are only two girls passing. Or—"I like the one with the hat on," when both are hatless. This great brilliancy should be used for commercial purposes. Genius is only wasted in a place like this. Furthermore, besides this great waste of talent, it puts the co-ed "on the spot." There is nothing she can do or say to stop the commotion her passing causes. She can say nothing. "Cat's got your tongue!" is howled at her. She can speak sweetly. "She's flirting with you!" is yelled. Laughter. Giggles. Howls. The great Auburn spirit all over again. The argument has been put forth that this is a college town and it is expected of college students to behave like children. Who expects it? Certainly not the co-eds. They only hope, and not successfully, that some college wit will not start the firecracker that starts the rest of the gang popping off. Auburn can never grow up as long as its students act like children in grade school when a co-ed passes. M.N. Awnings The other day, we ducked to keep from hitting a low-hanging awning, and when we came up again, we found that we had just ended one of the best feuds in years. Our sworn enemy for these many years mistook that gesture for a friendly nod and came at us so heartily with an outstretched hand that we found ourself shaking it before we quite knew what we were doing. Now that in itself was bad enough, but just think of some of the other things that might have happened that could have been much worse. It set us to thinking, and when we got through we decided that we were pretty lucky to get out as light as we did. Suppose that we had ducked when a jealous husband and his wife were passing along. You see, these awnings that are just a bit too low are really more of a hazard than most people suspect. A hundred things besides hitting your head could happen. So we say: Down with the awnings! . . . . No . . . No, that's not what we mean at all. What we mean is: Up with the awnings! L.P. Swing Music Swing is here to stay . . . or maybe its 'sway,' but just the same, swing is definitely with us. There is not an orchestra on the radio today that has not felt the effect of swing in one way or another. It may be that the orchestra is purely a "swing band," or it may be a concert orchestra leader giving evidence that he, too, can play what the public likes. At best though, "swing" is essentially rhythm with a little music thrown in to give it the name. Even se, as primitive as this modern reversion is, it has taken the country by storm. Intelligent people make fools of themselves on dance floors where before, they danced to music. If one of the country's jitterbug clubs could be persuaded to take an unbiased view of swing, it's doubtful if Benny Goodman could hold a good second place in competition with one of the lesser known Ubangi tribes of Africa. Swingsters have been known to dance several minutes at fever pitch to nothing more than a drum solo, and what's more, they like it. There's little that can be said in defense of music that will be effective to the swing-crazed jitterbug. Time is the only healer, and just as surely as it conquered jazz, so will it fulfill the prophecy and make for the return of sweet music. L.P. Before Tomorrow By John Godbold The following letter addressed to the author of this column was received last week: Dear John: This letter may be based on another of those many evidences of the inadequacy of expression peculiar to the English language; but here goes! Tuesday's "Before Tomorrow," in speaking of earmarking part of the state's income, stated, "To so earmark government funds is a very short sighted policy." If the adverb "so" is specifically concerned with allocation of the gasoline tax, I agree, but if it was meant to be taken in a general sense, the fence is between us. I speak of education. It is an obvious fact that, in Alabama, education is considered a plank in political platforms. Every candidate for the governor's couch makes some kind of promise to education. Now don't you think it's ridiculous for so important a branch of state functions to be dependent at all on a source of support so uncertain as the fulfillment of political promises? And don't you think that a system which trains the future leaders of Alabama and the nation should be made secure and certain by earmarking a specific amount of the state's revenue to its operation and improvement?—Or do you? Sincerely, Jim Hilleke To which we reply: Dear Jim: It seems that there must be a fence between us. The word "so" was intended to be taken in a general sense. Obviously education is just as important as you say that it is. But don't forget that there are many other functions of govern-lment which are important, too. Health, public safety, relief, help for the aged, and many more. Education, by all means, should receive its share of public funds. However, to definitely set down in the constitution of the state of Alabama that educational institutions must receive a definite group of funds each year, NO MATTER WHAT THE STATE'S INCOME, is certainly, in our opinion, just as shortsighted as earmarking the gasoline tax. Suppose that the state of Alabama were to face another depression like the last one. Then, with money desperately needed for relief and aid to the unemployed, education with its earmarked funds would be receiving more than its share. Instead of distributing a shortage of funds among all the agencies of the government, you propose to centralize it even more, making some agency bear it so long as that agency isn't education. True, education has been the goat during the past shortages; however, earmarking of funds will simply make some other agency the goat. Furthermore, I ask you to look to the future. Do you really think that it is intelligent to set down today in inflexible black and white laws which shall inflexibly govern the actions of those who will be at the head of our government twenty years from now? Can we see far enough in the future to make the rules now for what they shall do then? The Brookings Institute, which has thoroughly investigated the governments of over two^thirds of our states say that we should not. Apologies to you and to any others who may have been confused by the ambiguity of my writing. Sincerely yours, John Godbold * * * THE SURPLUS CROPS of the country may be advantageously disposed of under a program now being formulated by the Department of Agriculture. The plan would provide for two prices for agricultural goods and the manufactured products derived from them—a regular market price and a lower price for benefits of families on relief and low-income households. The losses sustained on the low-price sales would be sustained by the government. Plans somewhat similar to this have been tried before in the last few years by the government, but this is the first time that a large scale attempt has been brought forward. Senator Borah's views on this brain-child of Secretary of Agriculture Henry Wallace best express what seems to be the sensible viewpoint about it: "His (Secretary Wallace's) suggestion that our own hungry get the benefit of our own surplus food stuffs AUBURN FOOTPRINTS I'm through with all women, They cheat and they lie, They prey on us males Till the day that we die; They tease us, torment us And drive us to sin. Say, who was that blonde That just walked in? An old sage says: A college is just like a washing machine. You get out of it just what you put in, only you'd never recognize it. * * * Here's a specimen of dry Montgomery wit (you could never believe anything in Montgomery could be dry could you?): On a freezing night a circus and managerie was going through our little city of the tax tokens on the way to Mississippi. There the gorilla died. As they were in a hurry they simply straightened out the limbs of the animal and laid him beside the road. At dawn two of the natives approached the stiff figure of the animal. "No, he ain't dead from Wetumpka—I know all the folks there." "He ain't from Mt. Meigs either." "I know what we can do. Let's go over to Auburn and see if any of the college faculty is missing." * * * Freshman: "My, what a lovely corsage!" Montevallo (also brand new): "I'll have you know my figure is natural!" * * * An absent minded professor (probably Professor Applebee) stood in fronto of the wrong side of the mirror and failed to see his reflection. He figured that he must have already gone to work, so he went back to bed. Modern youth respects old age when it comes in bottles. * * * Heard at the Southern game: "Who you shevin'?" "Dunno, whash your name?" * * * Come by the Plainsman office anytime between now and Thursday morning and drop your prize joke in the box on the Editor's desk placed there for that purpose. The Tiger Theater will give five passes to the Sunday and Monday show, "Sing You Sinners," to the person turning in the five wittiest quips. THE EDITOR'S MAILBOX Editor's note: A lot has been written and said during: the last two or three weeks on the Auburn Spirit. A lot of people have tried to explain what Auburn Spirit is; a lot of people have tried to give examples of it. Almost everyone who spoke of it stressed the fact that there was something- about the spirit of Auburn that binds men of divergent character and ways of life together, no matter where they are. The thing that holds thousands upon thousands of men together, makes them love the same traditions and revere the same customs must be a great moving force. And true Auburn Spirit is that. This week we received a letter that to us reflects the spirit that is Auburn. It is a letter from an Auburn graduate whose home is thousands of miles a-way, but whose heart is bound to Auburn and her welfare. Everyone on the Auburn campus knew Jesus and Enrique Silva from Mexico City, and many here still hear from them regularly by letter, for they keep up with Auburn affairs. The letter is from Enrique and is given below. Editor The Auburn Plainsman Dear Sir: I have read several articles and "Letters to the Editor" in the school paper concerning the poor is, as an emergency proposition, sound and humanitarian." * * * Ain't it fun to discuss comparative scores with University of Alabama rooters! * * * THE JAPANESE say that Chinese resistance is toppling. However, they said the same thing a year ago. The truth is, we believe, that the Chinese will never be really conquered. Possibly the Japs may win a military victory and here and there extend their zones of influence along railroad lines, but it is hard to see how the masses of China can ever be ruled in the manner which Japan hopes. As one writer expresses it, a Japanese victory and occupation would be equivalent to some foreign power's conquering the Mississippi River and the land 20 miles on each bank and then trying to rule the entire United States from that base. Auburn Spirit that has been shown this year by the student body and the uncivilized way some of them have acted by damaging personal property. Auburn has always been famous for its fine college spirit, but it seems that this Spirit is rapidly disappearing, and unless something is done, it will die in a few more years. I don't think that the cheerleaders are to blame for the poor showing they did at the Auburn- Southern game. The student body is the one to blame for not supporting them because a good deal of the responsibility to have a good cheering section falls on the crowd that forms it, because if they show some cooperation the cheerleaders will feel more eager to help. I noticed this poor spirit at some of the games last year, where only a few students showed that Auburn Spirit. In the last issue I received (Oct. 4), I read three "Letters to the Editor" concerning this matter, and I feel disgusted to know what is happening. Some of my friends to whom I have praised Auburn so much have also read several of these articles and they tell me that it is a shame that in a country that is among the most civilized, students act the way they are doing in Auburn. It is true that the students have to show their spirit some way, but there is a limit to everything, and I am sure that if any of the boys who were in the crowd that raided the girl's dormitories had any -property, they wouldn't like to have it destroyed. Such action hurts the school's reputation and make the parents feel ashamed to say that they send their sons and daughters to an institution like that one. When I finished school there, I was proud to say that I studied at Auburn and hope that the student body will cooperate to keep the school's name high and be proud to say that they are an Auburn man or woman. Yours truly, Enrique Silva Editor The Auburn Plainsman Dear Sir: ODK wishes to thank the advisers, entertainers, and the audience who made possible our musical presentation last night in Langdon Hall. It was generosity that enabled us to turn over to Mr. E. B. Smith a check sufficiently large to cover a great part of the expense of constructing the proposed tennis courts. Our Musical Miscellany is ov- WELL! by I. Philip Space FAR BE IT from the editor of this column to horn in on Troup and his stooges as far as sports comment is concerned. But this time, it is mighty hard to hold back on a few observations from last week-end. The professors ought to give the entire student body a holiday after the double-header that the Auburn football team played Friday night and Saturday afternoon. Mississippi State was not only thoroughly trounced, but Alabama's famous Crimson Trickle went down before the Tennessee powerhouse. Making the score Auburn 6 Alabama 0. If you and Williamson are such hogs about comparing scores. When you consider how efficient was Tennessee at Legion Field and the frame of mind that they were in, it makes the Auburn blood in you crawl to a new high in pressure. University student's alibis were to the effect that Alabama was off her game. But if they had been in Rose Bowl condition, they couldn't have beat Tennessee last Saturday. * * * IF YOU HAD SEEN the grin on coach McCollum's face when Pelham Sitz sneaked through the center of the Mississippi line for the third touchdown last Friday night, you would have given Auburn 12 points for the score instead of 6. The play caught the Mississippi boys napping, and they were given a first hand view of the retreating feet of Sitz heading for the land of the bacon. THE AUBURN SPIRIT once more is on the warpath. And if you didn't happen to notice it at the game, then you are either blind, deaf, or dumb, or some combination of the three. If there are many more 96 yards to be reeled off on kickoff returns for 6 points of badly needed gravy, and Auburn students are on the right side of the result, then they had better build something else to replace the wooden stands. They came close to being reduced to matchstick size, with the celebration after that one jaunt by the illustrious Mr. Kelly. er, but our efforts to secure the courts are not. The completing of these courts is one of our biggest objectives of the year, and we will see the thing through. Sincerely, Omicron Delta Kappa Editor The Auburn Plainsman Dear Godbold: What happened to the opening dances? The attendance this year was considerably decreased, even from that of last year. Those at the dances can vouch for the fact that the attendance grew weaker as the dances progressed, the Saturday morning and afternoon crowd dwlindling to only four couples. As a result, the Social Committee is in debt, and must make up this loss on the midterm dances. This situation, where the Auburn student body will not attend its own Opening Dances, can, and should be remedied, for the sake of the reputation of Auburn. Is it a mistake to contract a large orchestra for so small a crowd as turned out? Would it be better to sign up a local orchestra, lowering the fee per couple, and leaving the large orchestra for midterms and finals? Perhaps then the student body would turn out for the dances as it does i'( fraternity dances, the Social Committee would come out profitably, or at least evenly, and there would be a manifestation of the great Auburn Spirit, which is so coveted at present. Or was the appalling lack of attendance due to the appalling lack of publicity for these dances? Perhaps the committee could retain the large orchestra and higher fees if the dances were publicized more in the local papers, and general advertising was spread over the campus. This year there was scant knowledge and interest a-mong the students, few of them even knowing what orchestra was going to play. Or is it a mistake to even attempt to have opening dances? At any rate, if the Social Committee is going to continue these opening dances each year, some provision should be made for greater attendance. This year it apparently made the mistake of biting off much, much more than it could chew! Your sincerely, Interested Student.

In view of the fact that our records are more or less incomplete, we have been unable to offer a complete list of all of the Auburn alumni in foreign countries. The alumni department will appreciate an information as to Auburn men who may be located in countries foreign to the United States. Information of this character may be addressed to Mr. R. Porter Grant, Executive Secretary, Auburn Alumni Association, Auburn, Alabama. By Bob Anderson There abounds within the range of our institution, the great A. P. I., a species of the mammal class, known to the leaders in zoological fields as the family Muridae, of the order Rodentia, but known to the less learned as "Rats." In the opinion of the most eminent scientists of this fair city of the plains, the specie common to Lee County, State of Alabama, has never been recorded in the annals of zoology. We have been called upon to amend this grivous error. In doing so, we put on record only the facts which have been tested by students of Auburn majoring in "Campus Lab." All persons mentioned in this dissertation are fictitious, and any resemblance to anyone, living or dead, is purely incidental. We shall, at random, choose a specimen which we think typifies the entire supply of the specie under question. This rodent we shall term, for the sake of convenience, No. 1473. No. 1473 is, in accordance with the general run of the specie, of a green hue, a rather dull green. His normal postoure is an erect position, on his hind legs, but at the command of his superiors, has been known to assume any number of ridiculous poses. The expression on the face of the average rodent, as in the case of No. 1473, is one of almost unbelievable ignorance, mixed with a tinge of worry and at times fright. No. 1473 is subject to chastisement from certain of his superiors. He follows up such periods with a queer series of actions, which includes daily application of rubbing alcohol, and the consumation of his food from a standing position, i. e. from a mantle or some other high shelf. No. 1473 suffers terrible punish ment not only in the form of chas tisement of a physical nature, but in the form of many different tasks which he must perform. He accepts these tasks not in the manner one might expect of a vertebrate animal, but with a sort of a "Well, if you gotta, you gotta" attitude. He serves as a flunky for all of his superior associates, being forced to do such menial tasks as keeping clothes in shipshape and shining order, acting as a messenger, serving as a bureau of information concerning locations of campus buildings, etc., serving as a supply house for matches, and acting as a go-between for certain of his zoo-minded and zoo-bound contemporaries. All the cases under observation which have been able to stand one year under this terrible strain have pulled through with little difficulty the final punishments to graduate from this predicament and become members of another! group, a long-eared variety adopted to conquering a plague known as studies, and holding the titles of Sophomore.

Draughon. The Rosenwald Fund offers fellowships under two categories: to negroes, and to white Southerners who wish to work on some problem distinctive to the South and who expect to make their careers in the South. Both types of fellowships are intended to provide opportunities for advanced study to individuals who have already shown evidence of exceptional ability. The fellowships are not restricted to any special subject and are open not only to sch-. olars and scientists, but to persons who plan to go into the professions of fine arts, or into agriculture, journalism or creative writing, education, business or public service. The fellowships are open to men and women between the ages of 22 and 35 years, although considerations will be made by the committee for exceptions of merit. Candidates must have completed | 8?

Title NO OTHER SCIENCE has contributed more to the welfare of mankind that bacteriology. The importance of modern medicine, surgery, sanitation, and so on in our present-day order is universal, common knowledge. The development of these sciences was made possible largely through the revelations of bacteriology. Thus bacteriology has supplied the key to many problems of health, agriculture, and industry, and has served to pave the way for some of the greatest of scientific advances. A great many of the epoch- making findings in bacterid ology have resulted from toil in the field of veterinary bacterio logy. THE DISCOVERY OF BAG TERIA was, obviously, dependent upon the devolopment of an in strument capable of magnification sufficient to bring such organisms within the range of visibility. Although the evidence is not absolutely definite, a Holland family by the name of Janssen is generally accredited with the invention of the first microscope, at about the end of the sixteenth century. Their instrument was very crude and capable of magnifying only a few diameters. As early as 1659, Athanasius Kircher, with a very crude lens, saw in various types of putrid material, minute living bodies not discernible to the naked eye. His observations, however, received very little attention. However, little progress was made in the perfection of the microscope until 1675, wh«n Antony van Leeuwenhoek, also of Holland, produced the first such instrument of importance. With this microscope, which was capable of magnifying about 150 diametrs, Leeuwenhoek detected minute forms of life in saliva, water and decomposing organic matter. Van Leeuwenhoek's work marked the true beginning of microbiology. Since those early days, the microscope has gradually been improved so that at the present time we can satisfactorily magnify objects 1500 or more diameters. * * • WITH ALL ITS ACHIEVEMENTS, the science is barely out of its infancy and the field but partially explored. Thus, through the labors of those who dedicate themselves to toil in the vast world of microscopic and invisible life, will come more and possibly greater accomplishments of profound importance to man and the beasts who serve him. fore he leaps and decides to stay where he is.

Mc- Gowin, of Chapman, Secretary for the state committee of selection. Selections for the state of Alabama will be made on Dec. 13 and 15, and selections for the sixth district, which includes Alabama and 5 other states, will be made on Dec. 17. The Rhodes Scholarships are given under the will of John Cecil Rhodes, and 32 scholarships are assigned to the United States. The scholarships are tenable at the University of Oxford, have a stipend of 400 English pounds, and are assigned annually in the United States. Each appointment is made for two years, with a possible third year for those whose record at Oxford and plan of study make an award advisable. No restriction is placed upon a Rhodes Scholar's choice of studies. The qualifications which Rhodes specified in his will as forming the basis of selection are: (1) literary and scholastic ability and attainments; (2) qualities of manhood, truth, courage, devotion to duty, sympathy, kindliness, unselfishness, and fellowship; (3) exhibition of moral force of character and instincts to lead and to take an interest in his schoolmates; (4) physical vigor as shown by interest in outdoor sports or in other ways. Some definite quality of distinction, whether in intellect, character, or personality, or in any combination of them, is the most important requirement for a Rhodes Scholarship. Financial need does not constitute a special claim for consideration. To be eligible a candidate must (1) be a male citizen of the United States and unmarried; (2) be between the ages of 19 and 35 on Oct. 1, 1939; (3) have completed at least his sophomore year at the time of application. Application blanks may be secured in the office of the president, Samford Hall. POINT OF VIEW By Martin Wender The mournful sound that we hear intermingled with the jubilant cries of peace hail from the little group of ammunition makers, whose present existence is one of torment and misery. Their modern death-making equipment has been temporarily stilled because of the pledge of peace among the European land-grasping power, Germany, and the other land-giving powers. To these ruthless capitalists I give my heartfelt disgust; ther sour teardrops are sweet in comparison to drops of blood—millions of drops of warm, red blood of slain consumers of their costly, deadly products. These financially poor creatures will probably lose a few hundred million dollars or even a billion dollars by this most undesired turn of events. They are in the midst of depression as compared to the prosperity that war would have produced for them. Could it be that the business cycle has suffered another economical jolt? The vision and foresight of peace-loving men disrupted their prosperity founded on dangling limbs, gas-destroyed lungs, and bullet-tattered bodies. The question that lingers in the mind of many pacifists is how long will their business suffer so justly at this retrenchment of the so-called "diabolical prosperity." Will the land-craving fiend, Hitler, refrain from his politically unsane desire to rule the modern world? Fidelity is a precept unknown to this Germanic dictator whose treaties, pacts, and heresy in the past have symbolized utter unreliability. An impassible ambition to hold the position of world dictator supreme will not suffice with a mere Austria or a profitable Czechoslovakia; Rumania's waving wheat fields and Ukraine's wealthy resources impassion Hitler and his modern Teutonic warriors to create a flourishing and a very profitable business for our sorrow-stricken ammunition makers. In only a few weeks the munition maker's recession could assume a rosy appearance from bloody subsidies of peace-loving nations. Regional Lab Head Speaks To AVMA By H. B. Title The fifth meeting of the Junior A. V. M. A. was held Wednesday night at 7 p. m. with President Piper in the chair. It was explained that the selection of the outstanding senior in the graduating class would be made soon. The student is chosen by a group of five, three of whom sociation, and two of whom are faculty members. The annual presentation of the award is at the banquet following the short course, held during the second semester. The name of the student receiving the award is inscribed on a plaque in the library. The speaker of the evening, Dr. B. T. Simms, was introduced. He is one of Auburn's most illustrious graduates. Upon graduation, Dr. Simms received an appointment to the experiment station in Oregon and remained there until his return to Auburn. During his stay at Oregon, Dr. Simms gradually became one of the nation's outstanding veterinarians and excerpts of his work both in the field and in the laboratory are found in the leading veterinary texts and journals. Dr. Simms spoke of some very interesting experiences he had while in Oregon. He told of some peculiar diseases he witnessed in the Northwest and of the hard time he had diagnosing them. At the conclusion of the talk Dr. Simms said that the best way to deflate a cocky veterinarian's ego is to put him out in experiment station research work and let him find out just how little he knows. Dr. Simms is returning to Auburn as director of the Regional Research Laboratory established here by the federal government.

This story of the men who "go down to the sea in ships" in the icy waters of the Arctic is set against a background about which most Americans know very little but one which captures the imagination every time that it is mentioned. "Spawn of the North" is set in the early years of the twentieth century, but the conditions pictured in it exist today in very much the same form. As in all frontier communities, life is lived with a mad abandon, and sudden death evokes little emotion. The law counts only in so far as there are men around with the will and strength to enforce it. The titanic struggle between fishermen and sea raiders pictured in the story has been Alaska's most serious problem for decades, and is no nearer solution now than when it first began. The two opposing forces, led by George Raft and Henry Fonda in the screen story, wage an unending war, with now one side winning, now another. No effort was spared by Paramount to make the Alaskan background of the piece authentic. Long before Director Henry Hathaway began filming the picture he sent a crew of cameramen on a six months' tour of the Territory, from which they returned with more than seventy-five thousand feet of startling scenic film. Robert Benchley in "How to Watch a Football Game" and the latest Paramount News rounds out this enjoyable program opening Wednesday at the Tiger Theater. FOUND—Sterling silver wedding ring.

No introduction is necessary, as every one knows the bank of friendly service on the corner of main street. The Bank of Auburn started in the year of 1907 and from that year on has continued to grow and prosper with A. P. I. The main reason for its fine reputation of fair dealings to all is the careful supervision of its capable directors who are: L. N. Duncan, C. L. Hare, C. A. Jones, Em-mett Sizemore, S. L. Toomer, Emil F. Wright, and Dr. C. S. Yar-brough. These men are among the outstanding leaders of the college and the City of Auburn, so it can readily be understood why the Bank of Auburn is a fine place to entrust your savings. Still another reason to bank with the Bank of Auburn is the officers that we see every day as we deposit our money. They are: S. L. Toomer, president ; Emil Wright, cashier; and R. F. Blake; assistant cashier. These men are so well known to the public that there is nothing we could say that has not already been said in honor of them. For friendly and courteous service deposit your saving at the Bank of Auburn.

It is requested that those trying out come at 8, as a class in play production is scheduled for the Hut the hour preceding. Thursday night, beginning at 7 o'clock, the majority of 17 men's parts will be filled. Some of these parts have been tentatively cast, but several good roles remain. New material is very much desired, and prospective actors who can fence will be doubly welcome. The production staff, usually tucked securely away behind the scenery, was given a chance in this play to perform for the audience. Between Acts III and IV, the curtains were opened, and .the audience watched a scene shift in progress.

LXII Z-I AUBURN, ALABAMA, TUESDAY, OCTOBER 18, 1938 NUMBER 13 Will Musical Miscellany Nets ODK Big Gate For Tennis Courts McGehee Announces That $120 Has Been Given By Fraternity To Tennis Courts Auburn students, faculty members, and townspeople showed their interest in tennis courts by turning out 500 strong to attend ODK's Musical Miscellany, given last night in Langdon Hall. The miscellany was a variety program of musical entertainment, the proceeds of which went into a fund to build ten tennis courts in rear of the men's gymnasium. The stage was decorated by Perry and Allen Lamar to create a night club atmosphere for Club Deltakap. As the curtain rose, the Auburn Knights were playing their distinctive versions of current popular dance tunes. After several pieces by this organization, the master of ceremonies introduced the first entertainer of the evening, Oliver Ulmer, who played two numbers on his accordion. Club Deltakap's second feature was Billy Lawrence, singing "Change Partners" and "For You." Then the stringless fiddler, Perry Lamar, brought down the house with his interpretation of "Soap Bubbles, from Naptha." Robin Russell accompanied him at the piano. Laurens Pierce was next at the mike, whistling two numbers with the Knights forming a background for his medley. Then Hodge's Ebony Quartet rendered three songs, last among which was "Glory to old Auburn." In contrast, Club Deltakap next presented Paul Rudolph at the piano. He played two pieces, and the audience demanded another, but he refused the encore. Kitty Shepard Reeves then did a nov-lty tap dance to the music of the Knights. To bring the first half of the program to a close, the Knights played another number, with Chick Hatcher stealing the show with a hot trumpet solo. The curtains closed as the Knights played .their theme song. The master of ceremonies asked the audience to express its appreciation to the Knights and the other entertainers for their contributions to the program, and he was answered with a long and loud applause. As the curtain was drawn open for the second part of the program the newly organized Collegians were on the bandstand and played two numbers. Continuing the floorshow, Lem Edmonson and John Famharn san "Sweet Sue" and an encore number. Then the "Three Dukes," Sam Teague, L. E. Foster, and E. O. Pearson, sang "Old King Cole" and "Glory, Glory to Old Auburn." Accompanied by Paul Rudolph at the piano, Albion Knight, sang two pieces, one semi-classical and one dance number. Max Rachman, who was expected to play a piano solo at this time, fooled the crowd and the master of ceremonies by playing three pieces on the accordion. He received a tremendous applause. Then came the Snickelfritzers. Lawrence Lee and six members of the Auburn band strode out in their 1890 costumes, and played like the lads in the olden days used to play on the streetcorners. After two more delightful numbers by the Collegians, the curtain, was drawn in order that the stage might be cleared for the grand finale. With accompanyment by Grady Dailey, pianist, the ODK chorus girls presented the grand finale, a legshow, featuring ten femininely clad members of ODK. According to Billy McGehee, secretary and treasurer of ODK, approximately $120 was made on the evening's program. This money was immediately turned over to E. B. Smith, director of intramural sports for Auburn. NOTICE There . will be an FFA dance Saturday night at 9 in the WPA Hall. Admission is 50 per couple, 75 cents for stag. Players Present Four-Ad Play Thursday Excellent Characterizations Given By Student Actors; Large Crowd There By J. H. Wheeler Led by a group of veteran actors, the Auburn Players presented the four-act paradox, "Behold this Dreamer," last Thursday night before a crowd of 600 in Langdon Hall. Arthur Elsberry as Charley Turner gave his best performance since that of Francis Lightfoot in "Wings Over Europe" two years ago. His acting was even, and his smoothness helped to hold together the more inexperienced actors with whom he was often on the stage. , Lillian Jane Smith was a center of attention as Clara Turner, disagreeable wife "of Charley. Her flat voice and unrefined ways frequently sent the audience into gales of laughter. Prompter Helen Barnes counted 70 laughs from the audience in the first act alone, and it is a safe estimate that over half of them were for Clara. Mary Carmack played one of her best roles. Her voice rang out clearly, and her characterization of the complex part of Melodie was convincing. Bill Hall as Strickler demonstrated his acting talent once more by a smooth, steady performance. Though their acting was ragged in spots, the "Intelligentia" of Warren Bridges, Knox Millsap, and Dick Hall were the successes of the evening so far as the audience was concerned. Especially did Millsap as Tanneyday bring laughs by his mania for neckties. Dick Hall as Harold Blessings, One by One, also captured the crowd's fancy, and Warren Bridges as D. D. D. held them spellbound by his "Mad" scene in Act n. Bob Foster as Harris was new to the Players, but his scenes with Clara in Act III were perhaps as smoothly done as any in the play. As Constance Lane, Ruth Riddle marred an otherwise good performance by an unfortunate break in Act I. Of the minor characters, Piggies, the asylum keeper, was played by O. Martin Holland, and the Maid by Doris Sisson. The story of "Behold this Dreamer" is that of Charley Turner, a young man who in his ambition to become a painter is driven to desperation by the nagging of his prosaic wife and her equally uninteresting relatives. He sets out deliberately to tantilize them, and after a wild flight in which he advocates nudism to his father-in-law John Strickler, is sent to a private sanitorium for a "mental rest." Here he meets four delightful people, who are in sharp contrast to the "sane" persons he has known outside: Melodie, the ex-artists's- model afflicted with melancholia, and the "Intelligentia," three eccentric gentlemen who set him on the road to becoming an artist. After he has spent six (Continued On Page Six) Miss Gatchell Will Make Design For Banquet Miss Dana Gatchell, professor of home economics at the Alabama Polytechnic Institute, will design and make the candle holders and center pieces for the elaborate banquet to be held by the Associated Women of the American Farm Bureau Federation at the annual convention in New Orleans in December. The design will be executed in a motif of fruits and vegetables and will be done in gum paste and marzipan with a background of silver. Kappa Delta Pledges XAPPA QekT4 7>A.ej>QeS' - (933 THIRTEEN of the 24 pledges of Sigma Lambda chapter of Kappa Delta sorority are pictured above.

Speaker To Address Business Students Ed Reed, executive secretary of the Alabama League of Municipalities, will speak to students in the business department tomorrow morning at 10 o'clock. This announcement was made by L. E Foster, President of Delta Sigma Pi, which organization is sponsoring the speaker. Mr. Reed has made a special study of government and is to address the group on the subject of government, bringing into his speech pertinent facts about the relationship between government and business. He has contributed a number of constructive suggestions to our lawmaking bodies, and he is held in high esteem as an analyst of government and government procedure. This speech will be the second of a series of business speeches planned by the business and professional fraternity, Delta Sigma Pi, the first speaker having been George Bellsnyder, Birmingham. Classes are to be excused to hear Mr. Reed, and students are required to attend. A name-slip arrangement, similar to that which is used at current events classes, will be in effect, and students who miss the assembly will receive a two per cent cut, as though they had missed a regular class. Previous to the speech Dean J. W. Scott is to make the presentation of the Delta Sigma Pi Scholarship Cup, which was won by Herndon McGehee. His average was 95.69. A cup is annually a-warded the freshman in the business department who has the highest average. McGehee's mark is one of the highest that has ever been made. The speech is to be delivered in Langdon Hall at 10 o'clock, and it is open to the public. Betts Addresses ASCE On Construction Of Levees J. E. Betts, senior student in civil engineering, delivered an interesting talk last evening at the weekly meeting of the American Society of Civil Engineers. The content of Mr. Betts' talk involved the design and construction of levees on the Mississippi River. After finishing his junior year at Auburn, Mr. Betts has been employed in levee work for the last six years in Memphis, Tenn. He has now reenrolled in Auburn to complete his college work for graduation. Mr. Betts' talk was the first of a series of talks that will be given by student members of the A. S. C. E. At frequent times, the A. S. C. E. will collaborate with all other engineering societies to obtain prominent engineers from the South to come to Auburn and speak at joint meetings of these societies. Photographs With all the many camera-fans around the campus there ought every week to be numerous pictures taken that possess news value. The Plainsman has money to spend on news cuts, but we are so tied down with routine of putting out the paper that we do not have time to plan ahead of time to have pictures of events made especially for the paper. Yet we want them and know that students want more pictures in the paper. We wish all the student photographers on the campus who take pictures that they think have news value would bring them by and let us see them. We can pay nothing for the photograph itself, but will be glad to give credit to the person taking it if we use it. The kind of photograph? Almost any kind. For instance, a good shot of the freshman pa-jama parade last Thursday night would have been swell in this issue of the paper along with shots of the game in Montgomery and the parade there. We can use candid shots of personalities on the campus for feature stories .'. . shots of the cadets at drill . . . pictures of the cheerleaders in action or of a group of freshmen with their mouths opened wide for a War Eagle . . . We don't mean that we can use everything. By no means. But we would like to see what some of you are taking. The Editor. 200 Free Tickets To Be Given To Play Wednesday Prof. J. R. Rutland announced today that 200 students will be given free tickets to the matinee performance of the Jitney Players Wednesday afternoon at 3:15 provided they will call for them and submit their athletic ticket books at the desk on the first floor of Samford Hall Wednesday morning. The tickets will be given to the first 200 students who apply Wednesday morning. This concession will be given to 200 students who have not purchased season tickets to the 1938- 39 Concert Series because two performances of Maxwell Anderson's play, "Both Your Houses," by the Jitney Players have been arranged. By having both the matinee and evening performances, the 756 purchasers of season tickets may be accommodated and also allow seats for 200 others. Holders of season tickets are asked to make their reservations for either the matinee of evening performance by calling at the desk in Samford Hall not later than noon Wednesday. Kelly Receives Blue Key Award The annual Blue Key Outstanding Player Award was presented to Spec Kelly, Tiger halfback luminary, following the victory of Auburn over the strong Mississippi State contingent. The cup presentation was made by Allen Martin in' the presence of other members of Blue Key in the center of the field at Cramton Bowl. It was Kelly who sparked the Tiger offense to the 20 to 6 defeat of the Maroons with two touchdowns to his credit, one of them a 96 yard return of the kickoff opening the second half that will long live in the memory of the delirious Auburn fans who saw him thread his way through, not being touched by a single Mississippi man after passing his own 35 yard marker. Kelly had previously scored Auburn's first six points with a jaunt around end after a long drive toward the Maroon's goal line in the opening minutes of the game. The sports writers in the press box were unanimous in the selection of Kelly as the game's outstanding player. They were also unanimous in their acclaim of the great team that played with Kelly in giving the Maroons a decisive setback, and the award could well have gone to almost anyone on the Tiger eleven. K Members of Blue Key who participated in the presentation were Shelton Pinion, Jack Owen, Horace Weissinger, Roy Taylor, Oliver Fletcher, Andy Cox, Dallas Benton, Foy Laseter, Jim Swan-ner, Dave Roberts, Joe Crooks, and president Allen Martin. Former Auburn Student Is Manager Of Jitney Players Phil Tippin, former student at Auburn in electrical engineering, will return to the campus on Wednesday as general manager and booking agent for the Jitney Players. , Mr. Tippin, whose home is in Brewton, went to Carnegie Tech where he studied dramatics after leaving Auburn in 1926. While here he was a member of the Auburn Players and appeared in a number of productions along with Dryden Baughman, librarian for the School of Chemistry. Mr. Tippin is a cousin to Frances Tippin, secretary to the Accountant's Office. The Jitney Players are scheduled to present two performances (3:15 and 8:15 p. m.) to Langdon Hall of Maxwell Anderson's Pulitzer prize play, "Both Your Houses." The play is the second attraction to' Auburn 1938-39 Concert Series. Students Will March Through Town In Colorful Parade Drexel Institute officials have started a move to nationalize fraternities at that institution. Auburn-Tech Rally To Be Broadcast Friday At 8 Officials Of Atlanta And Of Both Colleges To Speak On Program Another pre-game broadcast will take place Friday night at 8 o'clock from the studios of WSB to Atlanta with Charles Burns in charge of arrangements. This broadcast will be an Auburn- Georgia Tech pep rally with students and officials of both schools taking part. In charge of Tech's part is E. Boyd Sutton Jr., president of the Interfraternity and Student Council of that school. Charles Burns, assisted by Kirt-ley Brown and Elmer Salter, head Auburn's arrangements. With Governor E. D. Rivers and Mayor William B. Hartsfield on hand to extend the official greetings of the city and state, Auburn's leaders will be George Knight, president of the Interfraternity Council; Bill Troup, newly appointed Pep Manager; L. E. Foster, president of O. D. K.; Head Coach Jack Meagher, and Alumni Secretary Porter Grant. From Georgia Tech will be E. Boyd Sutton Jr., president of the Interfraternity and Student Council; Coach Bill Alexander; The Tech Ramblers, collegiate orchestra; and President M: L. Brittain. Sports will be to charge of Elmer Salter, Auburn sports writer; Kenneth Gregory of the Associated Press; Morgan Blake and O. B. Keeler of the Atlanta Journal; Ed Danforth of the Georgian; and Jack Troy of the Constitution. The WSB staff orchestra under the baton of Marcus Bartlett will furnish the music for the program with specialties by the Tech Ramblers. The broadcast will be held from the Georgian ballroom of the Bilt-more Hotel, studios of the station, to order to accommodate larger crowds. All Auburn students are invited to attend. Whitten, Auburn Grid Star, Is Seriously Injured Norman "Chink" Whitten, graduate here last year, was seriously injured Wednesday afternoon in football at Notasulga, where he is athletic director at the high school. During practice Whitten received a ruptured intestine and had to be rushed to Opelika for an emergency operation. It was thought for some time that there was little hope for his recovery. Latest reports are that he has revived and is practically out of danger. His injury came while he was demonstrating to his charges the blocking of the dummy. While a student here "Chink" was a star performer on the gridiron, and was the backstop mainstay for the Tiger diamond aggregation for three years. Last summer he was a member of the Montgomery Bombers baseball squad, and is scheduled to report to the Philadelphia Phillies in the spring for a trial in the major leagues. CORRECTION In some of the copies of this issue in the Western Railway Ad on page three, the price of the round trip ticket on the "Auburn Special" leaving here at 8 a. m. Saturday for Atlanta was given as $1.- 90. The price should be $2.90. The train will arrive in Atlanta at 11 a. m. The return trip will begin at 7:30 Saturday night. The middle-west is the most tal-erant section of the U. S., according to Elton Sakamoto, a Japanese Sioux Falls College student who has traveled widely in this country. A combination torchlight parade and shirt-tail parade will be held Thursday night immediately after the pep rally at Langdon Hall, according to an announcement made this morning by Pep Manager Bill Troup. At 8 p. m. Thursday students will assemble at Langdon Hall, where they will be addressed by Haygood Patterson, sheriff of Montgomery County, arid Porter Grant, Alumni Secretary. The Auburn band will be there, as well as the cheering squad. Freshmen are urged to come with a torch prepared for the parade and with their shirt tails out. The torches will be lighted immediately after the rally at Langdon, and the student body will parade downtown in honor of the team. Troup called attention to the fact that in the old days when a parade was held to Auburn that nothing remained on the sidewalks watching except the dogs and that most of them even joined to. All the student body is urged to join in the celebration instead of jamming the street up at Toomer's and preventing the parade from being formed. Persons riding in cars are requested not to double-park uptown so as to watch the celebration, as it blocks the already congested street. Rowland Is Leading Man In Play Douglas Rowland, young lead-tog man with the Jitney Players who appear here in Langdon Hall for matinee and evening performance on Wednesday, Oct. 19, ran away from school at 17 to go on the stage. Two years later he was leading man with the Detroit Players. At first he played everything from the offstage voice to a character bit. The play to be nresented here by the Jitney Players is Maxwell Anderson's Pulitzer prize drama, "Both your Houses," a sensational expose of Washington politics. The matinee performance will begin at 3:15 and the evening performance at 8:15. In Detroit the stock company cast Mr. Rowland in such diversified roles as the title part in "The Bad Man" to the juvenile to "The Monster." From this troupe he was recruited into the famous Jesse Bonstelle Company in Detroit. With the Jitney Players, which Mr. Rowland joined in 1929, he has acted half the great parts in •the English language on coast to coast tours. His performances so moved Ina Grotte, a Houston critic that she wrote of him, "He is the finest actor I have ever seen." George Holland to Boston claims, "Rowland has more power and personality than half the leading men to New York and Hollywood. Privilege Riding For BOTC Seniors And Juniors Begins Riding privileges will be extended to Field Artillery juniors and seniors who have had equitation or were to the mounted battery at camp. The hours will be from 1 to 3 p. m. Saturdays and Sundays. A-bout 30 horses will be available each day. Those desiring to avail themselves of privilege riding may obtain a privilege riding card at the Military Office. As last year, a picture must be made to be pasted to the card. NOTICE Student auto tags have come and may be obtained at the office of the Executive Secretary to Samford Hall. A few students have not yet registered their cars. Attention is called to the fact that the deadline for registering is past.

There were, of course, some examples of thoughtless foolishness and vandalism by some muddle-headed undesirables, but on the whole conduct was good. Cheering at the game was better than for any contest so far. It looks like a true revival, folks. May it last. Scoreboard For Gym Congratulations are in order for both O. D. K. and Blue Key for their cooperative efforts toward "erecting a permanent and neat scoreboard in the men's gymnasium. Work on the scoreboard has begun, and it should not be long before it is installed. The reciprocal, friendly, and constructive spirit exhibited by the two senior honor societies this year is most encouraging. Too often in the past the members of the two or ganizations have thought only in terms of outdoing each other. The welfare of the school and the student body received little attention. Keen rivalry between senior honor organizations is all right, but when it sinks to the status of childish efforts to work off personal grudges, then we are against such organizations. This year has seen less of the childish spirit and more of the manly, constructive spirit on the part of the two organizations. Both are doing splendid work. Good Cheering Henceforth, anyone having any criticism to be directed at the cheerleaders had best say it under his breath. For the cheering in the east stands at the game Friday night was nothing short of an uproar. One loudspeaker brought more out of the students than a hundred years of hollering could have accomplished. Charlie O'Reilly behind a microphone has it over him behind a megaphone like a dollar over a dime. Congratulations to Bill Troup and the cheerleaders for their resourcefulness. It was a great step in pushing the Auburn spirit to the ceiling. R.T. Co-Ed Glee Club Auburn has been a co-educational school since 1892; it is next to the oldest co-educational school in the south. Since the institution of courses here for women, there have been many campus activities that have been introduced for their benefit, but in one thing, there has been a decided absence. Auburn has no girls' glee club. Two years ago, an attempt was made to organize such a glee club. The idea was taken up by an adequate number of women students to form a club, but after the second or third meeting, their number had dwindled to a mere handful. The result was that there was no glee club. Even last year, another try at organizing the club was started, but as had been the lot of those before, the idea was dropped after the first few meetings. This year, there are about 450 women students registered in school. This number, although comparatively small to the number of boys, is considerably higher than the registration in many of the strictly girls' schools that hove glee clubs. There is no reason then why we should not have a girls' glee club, at least, as concerns the quantity there is to choose from. There are those that would like to see such a club formed and those that are willing to work a little to get it started. If they would push the matter just a little and get the en-husias'ra of a large group of girls, Auburn would see the formation of a successful girls' glee club. L.P. College Wit Auburn is growing up! More students have come here this year than ever before. But, alas! the boy's boarding houses, the men's dorms, and Toomer's corner have not grown up. Last year's wits still remain, with a seeming influx of new ones. And all of this waggery is aimed at the co-eds who pass by. For instance: "I'll take the one in the middle," when there are only two girls passing. Or—"I like the one with the hat on," when both are hatless. This great brilliancy should be used for commercial purposes. Genius is only wasted in a place like this. Furthermore, besides this great waste of talent, it puts the co-ed "on the spot." There is nothing she can do or say to stop the commotion her passing causes. She can say nothing. "Cat's got your tongue!" is howled at her. She can speak sweetly. "She's flirting with you!" is yelled. Laughter. Giggles. Howls. The great Auburn spirit all over again. The argument has been put forth that this is a college town and it is expected of college students to behave like children. Who expects it? Certainly not the co-eds. They only hope, and not successfully, that some college wit will not start the firecracker that starts the rest of the gang popping off. Auburn can never grow up as long as its students act like children in grade school when a co-ed passes. M.N. Awnings The other day, we ducked to keep from hitting a low-hanging awning, and when we came up again, we found that we had just ended one of the best feuds in years. Our sworn enemy for these many years mistook that gesture for a friendly nod and came at us so heartily with an outstretched hand that we found ourself shaking it before we quite knew what we were doing. Now that in itself was bad enough, but just think of some of the other things that might have happened that could have been much worse. It set us to thinking, and when we got through we decided that we were pretty lucky to get out as light as we did. Suppose that we had ducked when a jealous husband and his wife were passing along. You see, these awnings that are just a bit too low are really more of a hazard than most people suspect. A hundred things besides hitting your head could happen. So we say: Down with the awnings! . . . . No . . . No, that's not what we mean at all. What we mean is: Up with the awnings! L.P. Swing Music Swing is here to stay . . . or maybe its 'sway,' but just the same, swing is definitely with us. There is not an orchestra on the radio today that has not felt the effect of swing in one way or another. It may be that the orchestra is purely a "swing band," or it may be a concert orchestra leader giving evidence that he, too, can play what the public likes. At best though, "swing" is essentially rhythm with a little music thrown in to give it the name. Even se, as primitive as this modern reversion is, it has taken the country by storm. Intelligent people make fools of themselves on dance floors where before, they danced to music. If one of the country's jitterbug clubs could be persuaded to take an unbiased view of swing, it's doubtful if Benny Goodman could hold a good second place in competition with one of the lesser known Ubangi tribes of Africa. Swingsters have been known to dance several minutes at fever pitch to nothing more than a drum solo, and what's more, they like it. There's little that can be said in defense of music that will be effective to the swing-crazed jitterbug. Time is the only healer, and just as surely as it conquered jazz, so will it fulfill the prophecy and make for the return of sweet music. L.P. Before Tomorrow By John Godbold The following letter addressed to the author of this column was received last week: Dear John: This letter may be based on another of those many evidences of the inadequacy of expression peculiar to the English language; but here goes! Tuesday's "Before Tomorrow," in speaking of earmarking part of the state's income, stated, "To so earmark government funds is a very short sighted policy." If the adverb "so" is specifically concerned with allocation of the gasoline tax, I agree, but if it was meant to be taken in a general sense, the fence is between us. I speak of education. It is an obvious fact that, in Alabama, education is considered a plank in political platforms. Every candidate for the governor's couch makes some kind of promise to education. Now don't you think it's ridiculous for so important a branch of state functions to be dependent at all on a source of support so uncertain as the fulfillment of political promises? And don't you think that a system which trains the future leaders of Alabama and the nation should be made secure and certain by earmarking a specific amount of the state's revenue to its operation and improvement?—Or do you? Sincerely, Jim Hilleke To which we reply: Dear Jim: It seems that there must be a fence between us. The word "so" was intended to be taken in a general sense. Obviously education is just as important as you say that it is. But don't forget that there are many other functions of govern-lment which are important, too. Health, public safety, relief, help for the aged, and many more. Education, by all means, should receive its share of public funds. However, to definitely set down in the constitution of the state of Alabama that educational institutions must receive a definite group of funds each year, NO MATTER WHAT THE STATE'S INCOME, is certainly, in our opinion, just as shortsighted as earmarking the gasoline tax. Suppose that the state of Alabama were to face another depression like the last one. Then, with money desperately needed for relief and aid to the unemployed, education with its earmarked funds would be receiving more than its share. Instead of distributing a shortage of funds among all the agencies of the government, you propose to centralize it even more, making some agency bear it so long as that agency isn't education. True, education has been the goat during the past shortages; however, earmarking of funds will simply make some other agency the goat. Furthermore, I ask you to look to the future. Do you really think that it is intelligent to set down today in inflexible black and white laws which shall inflexibly govern the actions of those who will be at the head of our government twenty years from now? Can we see far enough in the future to make the rules now for what they shall do then? The Brookings Institute, which has thoroughly investigated the governments of over two^thirds of our states say that we should not. Apologies to you and to any others who may have been confused by the ambiguity of my writing. Sincerely yours, John Godbold * * * THE SURPLUS CROPS of the country may be advantageously disposed of under a program now being formulated by the Department of Agriculture. The plan would provide for two prices for agricultural goods and the manufactured products derived from them—a regular market price and a lower price for benefits of families on relief and low-income households. The losses sustained on the low-price sales would be sustained by the government. Plans somewhat similar to this have been tried before in the last few years by the government, but this is the first time that a large scale attempt has been brought forward. Senator Borah's views on this brain-child of Secretary of Agriculture Henry Wallace best express what seems to be the sensible viewpoint about it: "His (Secretary Wallace's) suggestion that our own hungry get the benefit of our own surplus food stuffs AUBURN FOOTPRINTS I'm through with all women, They cheat and they lie, They prey on us males Till the day that we die; They tease us, torment us And drive us to sin. Say, who was that blonde That just walked in? An old sage says: A college is just like a washing machine. You get out of it just what you put in, only you'd never recognize it. * * * Here's a specimen of dry Montgomery wit (you could never believe anything in Montgomery could be dry could you?): On a freezing night a circus and managerie was going through our little city of the tax tokens on the way to Mississippi. There the gorilla died. As they were in a hurry they simply straightened out the limbs of the animal and laid him beside the road. At dawn two of the natives approached the stiff figure of the animal. "No, he ain't dead from Wetumpka—I know all the folks there." "He ain't from Mt. Meigs either." "I know what we can do. Let's go over to Auburn and see if any of the college faculty is missing." * * * Freshman: "My, what a lovely corsage!" Montevallo (also brand new): "I'll have you know my figure is natural!" * * * An absent minded professor (probably Professor Applebee) stood in fronto of the wrong side of the mirror and failed to see his reflection. He figured that he must have already gone to work, so he went back to bed. Modern youth respects old age when it comes in bottles. * * * Heard at the Southern game: "Who you shevin'?" "Dunno, whash your name?" * * * Come by the Plainsman office anytime between now and Thursday morning and drop your prize joke in the box on the Editor's desk placed there for that purpose. The Tiger Theater will give five passes to the Sunday and Monday show, "Sing You Sinners," to the person turning in the five wittiest quips. THE EDITOR'S MAILBOX Editor's note: A lot has been written and said during: the last two or three weeks on the Auburn Spirit. A lot of people have tried to explain what Auburn Spirit is; a lot of people have tried to give examples of it. Almost everyone who spoke of it stressed the fact that there was something- about the spirit of Auburn that binds men of divergent character and ways of life together, no matter where they are. The thing that holds thousands upon thousands of men together, makes them love the same traditions and revere the same customs must be a great moving force. And true Auburn Spirit is that. This week we received a letter that to us reflects the spirit that is Auburn. It is a letter from an Auburn graduate whose home is thousands of miles a-way, but whose heart is bound to Auburn and her welfare. Everyone on the Auburn campus knew Jesus and Enrique Silva from Mexico City, and many here still hear from them regularly by letter, for they keep up with Auburn affairs. The letter is from Enrique and is given below. Editor The Auburn Plainsman Dear Sir: I have read several articles and "Letters to the Editor" in the school paper concerning the poor is, as an emergency proposition, sound and humanitarian." * * * Ain't it fun to discuss comparative scores with University of Alabama rooters! * * * THE JAPANESE say that Chinese resistance is toppling. However, they said the same thing a year ago. The truth is, we believe, that the Chinese will never be really conquered. Possibly the Japs may win a military victory and here and there extend their zones of influence along railroad lines, but it is hard to see how the masses of China can ever be ruled in the manner which Japan hopes. As one writer expresses it, a Japanese victory and occupation would be equivalent to some foreign power's conquering the Mississippi River and the land 20 miles on each bank and then trying to rule the entire United States from that base. Auburn Spirit that has been shown this year by the student body and the uncivilized way some of them have acted by damaging personal property. Auburn has always been famous for its fine college spirit, but it seems that this Spirit is rapidly disappearing, and unless something is done, it will die in a few more years. I don't think that the cheerleaders are to blame for the poor showing they did at the Auburn- Southern game. The student body is the one to blame for not supporting them because a good deal of the responsibility to have a good cheering section falls on the crowd that forms it, because if they show some cooperation the cheerleaders will feel more eager to help. I noticed this poor spirit at some of the games last year, where only a few students showed that Auburn Spirit. In the last issue I received (Oct. 4), I read three "Letters to the Editor" concerning this matter, and I feel disgusted to know what is happening. Some of my friends to whom I have praised Auburn so much have also read several of these articles and they tell me that it is a shame that in a country that is among the most civilized, students act the way they are doing in Auburn. It is true that the students have to show their spirit some way, but there is a limit to everything, and I am sure that if any of the boys who were in the crowd that raided the girl's dormitories had any -property, they wouldn't like to have it destroyed. Such action hurts the school's reputation and make the parents feel ashamed to say that they send their sons and daughters to an institution like that one. When I finished school there, I was proud to say that I studied at Auburn and hope that the student body will cooperate to keep the school's name high and be proud to say that they are an Auburn man or woman. Yours truly, Enrique Silva Editor The Auburn Plainsman Dear Sir: ODK wishes to thank the advisers, entertainers, and the audience who made possible our musical presentation last night in Langdon Hall. It was generosity that enabled us to turn over to Mr. E. B. Smith a check sufficiently large to cover a great part of the expense of constructing the proposed tennis courts. Our Musical Miscellany is ov- WELL! by I. Philip Space FAR BE IT from the editor of this column to horn in on Troup and his stooges as far as sports comment is concerned. But this time, it is mighty hard to hold back on a few observations from last week-end. The professors ought to give the entire student body a holiday after the double-header that the Auburn football team played Friday night and Saturday afternoon. Mississippi State was not only thoroughly trounced, but Alabama's famous Crimson Trickle went down before the Tennessee powerhouse. Making the score Auburn 6 Alabama 0. If you and Williamson are such hogs about comparing scores. When you consider how efficient was Tennessee at Legion Field and the frame of mind that they were in, it makes the Auburn blood in you crawl to a new high in pressure. University student's alibis were to the effect that Alabama was off her game. But if they had been in Rose Bowl condition, they couldn't have beat Tennessee last Saturday. * * * IF YOU HAD SEEN the grin on coach McCollum's face when Pelham Sitz sneaked through the center of the Mississippi line for the third touchdown last Friday night, you would have given Auburn 12 points for the score instead of 6. The play caught the Mississippi boys napping, and they were given a first hand view of the retreating feet of Sitz heading for the land of the bacon. THE AUBURN SPIRIT once more is on the warpath. And if you didn't happen to notice it at the game, then you are either blind, deaf, or dumb, or some combination of the three. If there are many more 96 yards to be reeled off on kickoff returns for 6 points of badly needed gravy, and Auburn students are on the right side of the result, then they had better build something else to replace the wooden stands. They came close to being reduced to matchstick size, with the celebration after that one jaunt by the illustrious Mr. Kelly. er, but our efforts to secure the courts are not. The completing of these courts is one of our biggest objectives of the year, and we will see the thing through. Sincerely, Omicron Delta Kappa Editor The Auburn Plainsman Dear Godbold: What happened to the opening dances? The attendance this year was considerably decreased, even from that of last year. Those at the dances can vouch for the fact that the attendance grew weaker as the dances progressed, the Saturday morning and afternoon crowd dwlindling to only four couples. As a result, the Social Committee is in debt, and must make up this loss on the midterm dances. This situation, where the Auburn student body will not attend its own Opening Dances, can, and should be remedied, for the sake of the reputation of Auburn. Is it a mistake to contract a large orchestra for so small a crowd as turned out? Would it be better to sign up a local orchestra, lowering the fee per couple, and leaving the large orchestra for midterms and finals? Perhaps then the student body would turn out for the dances as it does i'( fraternity dances, the Social Committee would come out profitably, or at least evenly, and there would be a manifestation of the great Auburn Spirit, which is so coveted at present. Or was the appalling lack of attendance due to the appalling lack of publicity for these dances? Perhaps the committee could retain the large orchestra and higher fees if the dances were publicized more in the local papers, and general advertising was spread over the campus. This year there was scant knowledge and interest a-mong the students, few of them even knowing what orchestra was going to play. Or is it a mistake to even attempt to have opening dances? At any rate, if the Social Committee is going to continue these opening dances each year, some provision should be made for greater attendance. This year it apparently made the mistake of biting off much, much more than it could chew! Your sincerely, Interested Student.

In view of the fact that our records are more or less incomplete, we have been unable to offer a complete list of all of the Auburn alumni in foreign countries. The alumni department will appreciate an information as to Auburn men who may be located in countries foreign to the United States. Information of this character may be addressed to Mr. R. Porter Grant, Executive Secretary, Auburn Alumni Association, Auburn, Alabama. By Bob Anderson There abounds within the range of our institution, the great A. P. I., a species of the mammal class, known to the leaders in zoological fields as the family Muridae, of the order Rodentia, but known to the less learned as "Rats." In the opinion of the most eminent scientists of this fair city of the plains, the specie common to Lee County, State of Alabama, has never been recorded in the annals of zoology. We have been called upon to amend this grivous error. In doing so, we put on record only the facts which have been tested by students of Auburn majoring in "Campus Lab." All persons mentioned in this dissertation are fictitious, and any resemblance to anyone, living or dead, is purely incidental. We shall, at random, choose a specimen which we think typifies the entire supply of the specie under question. This rodent we shall term, for the sake of convenience, No. 1473. No. 1473 is, in accordance with the general run of the specie, of a green hue, a rather dull green. His normal postoure is an erect position, on his hind legs, but at the command of his superiors, has been known to assume any number of ridiculous poses. The expression on the face of the average rodent, as in the case of No. 1473, is one of almost unbelievable ignorance, mixed with a tinge of worry and at times fright. No. 1473 is subject to chastisement from certain of his superiors. He follows up such periods with a queer series of actions, which includes daily application of rubbing alcohol, and the consumation of his food from a standing position, i. e. from a mantle or some other high shelf. No. 1473 suffers terrible punish ment not only in the form of chas tisement of a physical nature, but in the form of many different tasks which he must perform. He accepts these tasks not in the manner one might expect of a vertebrate animal, but with a sort of a "Well, if you gotta, you gotta" attitude. He serves as a flunky for all of his superior associates, being forced to do such menial tasks as keeping clothes in shipshape and shining order, acting as a messenger, serving as a bureau of information concerning locations of campus buildings, etc., serving as a supply house for matches, and acting as a go-between for certain of his zoo-minded and zoo-bound contemporaries. All the cases under observation which have been able to stand one year under this terrible strain have pulled through with little difficulty the final punishments to graduate from this predicament and become members of another! group, a long-eared variety adopted to conquering a plague known as studies, and holding the titles of Sophomore.

The fellowships are not restricted to any special subject and are open not only to sch-. olars and scientists, but to persons who plan to go into the professions of fine arts, or into agriculture, journalism or creative writing, education, business or public service. The fellowships are open to men and women between the ages of 22 and 35 years, although considerations will be made by the committee for exceptions of merit. Candidates must have completed | 8?

Title NO OTHER SCIENCE has contributed more to the welfare of mankind that bacteriology. The importance of modern medicine, surgery, sanitation, and so on in our present-day order is universal, common knowledge. The development of these sciences was made possible largely through the revelations of bacteriology. Thus bacteriology has supplied the key to many problems of health, agriculture, and industry, and has served to pave the way for some of the greatest of scientific advances. A great many of the epoch- making findings in bacterid ology have resulted from toil in the field of veterinary bacterio logy. THE DISCOVERY OF BAG TERIA was, obviously, dependent upon the devolopment of an in strument capable of magnification sufficient to bring such organisms within the range of visibility. Although the evidence is not absolutely definite, a Holland family by the name of Janssen is generally accredited with the invention of the first microscope, at about the end of the sixteenth century. Their instrument was very crude and capable of magnifying only a few diameters. As early as 1659, Athanasius Kircher, with a very crude lens, saw in various types of putrid material, minute living bodies not discernible to the naked eye. His observations, however, received very little attention. However, little progress was made in the perfection of the microscope until 1675, wh«n Antony van Leeuwenhoek, also of Holland, produced the first such instrument of importance. With this microscope, which was capable of magnifying about 150 diametrs, Leeuwenhoek detected minute forms of life in saliva, water and decomposing organic matter. Van Leeuwenhoek's work marked the true beginning of microbiology. Since those early days, the microscope has gradually been improved so that at the present time we can satisfactorily magnify objects 1500 or more diameters. * * • WITH ALL ITS ACHIEVEMENTS, the science is barely out of its infancy and the field but partially explored. Thus, through the labors of those who dedicate themselves to toil in the vast world of microscopic and invisible life, will come more and possibly greater accomplishments of profound importance to man and the beasts who serve him. fore he leaps and decides to stay where he is.

Mc- Gowin, of Chapman, Secretary for the state committee of selection. Selections for the state of Alabama will be made on Dec. 13 and 15, and selections for the sixth district, which includes Alabama and 5 other states, will be made on Dec. 17. The Rhodes Scholarships are given under the will of John Cecil Rhodes, and 32 scholarships are assigned to the United States. The scholarships are tenable at the University of Oxford, have a stipend of 400 English pounds, and are assigned annually in the United States. Each appointment is made for two years, with a possible third year for those whose record at Oxford and plan of study make an award advisable. No restriction is placed upon a Rhodes Scholar's choice of studies. The qualifications which Rhodes specified in his will as forming the basis of selection are: (1) literary and scholastic ability and attainments; (2) qualities of manhood, truth, courage, devotion to duty, sympathy, kindliness, unselfishness, and fellowship; (3) exhibition of moral force of character and instincts to lead and to take an interest in his schoolmates; (4) physical vigor as shown by interest in outdoor sports or in other ways. Some definite quality of distinction, whether in intellect, character, or personality, or in any combination of them, is the most important requirement for a Rhodes Scholarship. Financial need does not constitute a special claim for consideration. To be eligible a candidate must (1) be a male citizen of the United States and unmarried; (2) be between the ages of 19 and 35 on Oct. 1, 1939; (3) have completed at least his sophomore year at the time of application. Application blanks may be secured in the office of the president, Samford Hall. POINT OF VIEW By Martin Wender The mournful sound that we hear intermingled with the jubilant cries of peace hail from the little group of ammunition makers, whose present existence is one of torment and misery. Their modern death-making equipment has been temporarily stilled because of the pledge of peace among the European land-grasping power, Germany, and the other land-giving powers. To these ruthless capitalists I give my heartfelt disgust; ther sour teardrops are sweet in comparison to drops of blood—millions of drops of warm, red blood of slain consumers of their costly, deadly products. These financially poor creatures will probably lose a few hundred million dollars or even a billion dollars by this most undesired turn of events. They are in the midst of depression as compared to the prosperity that war would have produced for them. Could it be that the business cycle has suffered another economical jolt? The vision and foresight of peace-loving men disrupted their prosperity founded on dangling limbs, gas-destroyed lungs, and bullet-tattered bodies. The question that lingers in the mind of many pacifists is how long will their business suffer so justly at this retrenchment of the so-called "diabolical prosperity." Will the land-craving fiend, Hitler, refrain from his politically unsane desire to rule the modern world? Fidelity is a precept unknown to this Germanic dictator whose treaties, pacts, and heresy in the past have symbolized utter unreliability. An impassible ambition to hold the position of world dictator supreme will not suffice with a mere Austria or a profitable Czechoslovakia; Rumania's waving wheat fields and Ukraine's wealthy resources impassion Hitler and his modern Teutonic warriors to create a flourishing and a very profitable business for our sorrow-stricken ammunition makers. In only a few weeks the munition maker's recession could assume a rosy appearance from bloody subsidies of peace-loving nations. Regional Lab Head Speaks To AVMA By H. B. Title The fifth meeting of the Junior A. V. M. A. was held Wednesday night at 7 p. m. with President Piper in the chair. It was explained that the selection of the outstanding senior in the graduating class would be made soon. The student is chosen by a group of five, three of whom sociation, and two of whom are faculty members. The annual presentation of the award is at the banquet following the short course, held during the second semester. The name of the student receiving the award is inscribed on a plaque in the library. The speaker of the evening, Dr. B. T. Simms, was introduced. He is one of Auburn's most illustrious graduates. Upon graduation, Dr. Simms received an appointment to the experiment station in Oregon and remained there until his return to Auburn. During his stay at Oregon, Dr. Simms gradually became one of the nation's outstanding veterinarians and excerpts of his work both in the field and in the laboratory are found in the leading veterinary texts and journals. Dr. Simms spoke of some very interesting experiences he had while in Oregon. He told of some peculiar diseases he witnessed in the Northwest and of the hard time he had diagnosing them. At the conclusion of the talk Dr. Simms said that the best way to deflate a cocky veterinarian's ego is to put him out in experiment station research work and let him find out just how little he knows. Dr. Simms is returning to Auburn as director of the Regional Research Laboratory established here by the federal government.

This story of the men who "go down to the sea in ships" in the icy waters of the Arctic is set against a background about which most Americans know very little but one which captures the imagination every time that it is mentioned. "Spawn of the North" is set in the early years of the twentieth century, but the conditions pictured in it exist today in very much the same form. As in all frontier communities, life is lived with a mad abandon, and sudden death evokes little emotion. The law counts only in so far as there are men around with the will and strength to enforce it. The titanic struggle between fishermen and sea raiders pictured in the story has been Alaska's most serious problem for decades, and is no nearer solution now than when it first began. The two opposing forces, led by George Raft and Henry Fonda in the screen story, wage an unending war, with now one side winning, now another. No effort was spared by Paramount to make the Alaskan background of the piece authentic. Long before Director Henry Hathaway began filming the picture he sent a crew of cameramen on a six months' tour of the Territory, from which they returned with more than seventy-five thousand feet of startling scenic film. Robert Benchley in "How to Watch a Football Game" and the latest Paramount News rounds out this enjoyable program opening Wednesday at the Tiger Theater. FOUND—Sterling silver wedding ring.

No introduction is necessary, as every one knows the bank of friendly service on the corner of main street. The Bank of Auburn started in the year of 1907 and from that year on has continued to grow and prosper with A. P. I.

Toomer, Emil F. Wright, and Dr. C. S. Yar-brough. These men are among the outstanding leaders of the college and the City of Auburn, so it can readily be understood why the Bank of Auburn is a fine place to entrust your savings. Still another reason to bank with the Bank of Auburn is the officers that we see every day as we deposit our money. They are: S. L. Toomer, president ; Emil Wright, cashier; and R. F. Blake; assistant cashier. These men are so well known to the public that there is nothing we could say that has not already been said in honor of them.

He returns to the old life, but soon becomes disgusted with the "speeches, banquets, interviews," and wearying attentions of his wife. At length, he decides that the people outside the asylum "are crazier than those who are in it," and goes back to the sanitorium of his own free will. Open tryouts for "King Lear," the Players' next production, will be held tonight and Thursday night at the Y-Hut. Tonight at 8 o'clock the three women's roles of Goneril, Regan, and Cordelia will be cast. All are major parts. It is requested that those trying out come at 8, as a class in play production is scheduled for the Hut the hour preceding. Thursday night, beginning at 7 o'clock, the majority of 17 men's parts will be filled. Some of these parts have been tentatively cast, but several good roles remain. New material is very much desired, and prospective actors who can fence will be doubly welcome. The production staff, usually tucked securely away behind the scenery, was given a chance in this play to perform for the audience. Between Acts III and IV, the curtains were opened, and .the audience watched a scene shift in progress. In full view of the crowd, a full set of flats was taken down and another put up in its place, and the change of furniture was made, all within the space of eight minutes.
