LXII Z-I AUBURN, ALABAMA, FRIDAY, OCTOBER 28, 1938 NUMBER 16 Honorary Business Fraternity Elects Twelve To Membership Selections Are Made From Upper Quarter Of Students In Business Department Delta Sigma Pi, the Professional Commerce and Business Administration fraternity, elected 12 new men to membership at its meeting Tuesday evening. This number includes Henry Faucette, Robert Wilder, Griffin Tatum, Albert Head, Herndon McGe-hee, Ellis Pearson, Charles Ray, Harold Stanfield, Martin Wender, Frank Wilson, Charles Phillips, and John Nixon. To foe elected to Delta Sigma Pi is one of the highest honors obtainable in the business department. Selection is made from those students whose scholarship ranks in the upper quartile of the business department. In addition to scholarship, qualities of leadership and service are determining factors in the selection of members. Henry Faucette is a junior from Birmingham, a member of S. A. E. fraternity, and a transfer from Birmingham-Southern. Robert Wilder, a senior from Dadeville, is a member of S. P. E. fraternity. Griffin Tatum, a member of Kappa Sigma fraternity, is a junior from Montgomery. Albert Head, a sophomore from Troy, is a member of Phi Delta Theta. Herndon McGehee of Troy is a sophomore, member of the football squad, and the recent winner of the Delta Sigma Pi scholarship cup. His social fraternity is Sigma Nu. Ellis Pearson is a sophomore from Wadley. Charles Ray is a sophomore from Prattville. Harold Stanfield, a sophomore from Fairfax. Martin Wender, a sophomore from Columbus, Ga. Frank Wilson, a member of Pi K. A., is a sophomore from Greenville. He is also a member of the Plainsman staff. Charles Phillips, a junior from Montgomery, is a member of Pi Kappa Phi. John Nixon, a senior from Bir-ingbam and a transfer from the University of Alabama, is a member of Kappa Alpha fraternity. Delta Sigma Pi was organized in 1907 to foster the study of business in colleges and universities, to encourage scholarship and the association of students for their mutual advance by business research and practice. Staples Speaks To Kiwanians Prof. R. H. Staples of the Archi-tectual department addressed the weekly meeting of the Auburn Ki-wanis club last Monday during their luncheon at the Thomas Hotel. Prof. John W. Roe of the Language Department, had charge of the program and introduced Prof. Staples at the beginning of his talk. The lecture was on "The Modern Trend of Art" and included an interesting exhibit of paintings to illustrate the talk. Several free-hand drawings were done by Prof. Staples during the talk to further illustrate hi? points. After the lecture, the club business was taken up. Prof. Burke president-elect of the Kiwanis Club, made a report on the statewide convention that was held in Mobile recently. The club also en-uorsea unanimously the projec started by Mrs. H. B. Peacock, chairman, committee for beautifi-cation of highways, to widen the highway between here and Ope-lika. Dr. C. S. Davis was present at the meeting for the first time as a regular member. He was recently taken into the club. Eta Kappa Nu Taps Eight Juniors In Electrical Formal Tapping Is To Take Place On November 1 At An Eta Kappa Nu Smoker Eight of the top-ranking members of the junior class in electrical engineering were tapped for membership at a recent meeting of Eta Kappa Nu, national honorary electrical engineering fraternity. Those named from the junior class for this signal honor are William Miller Boggs Jr., Selma; James William Cowen, Elba; Frank Beasley Gunter, Phehix City; Clarence LeRoy Mershon, Fairhope; Carl Clifton Motley, Autaugaville; and Dawson Hope Mullen Jr., Birmingham; all of the preceding being non-fraternity men. In addition, William Brooks Carroll, member of Delta Sigma Phi from Birmingham, and Henry Edward Mohns, member of Kappa Sigma from Atlanta, Ga., were tapped. Seniors elected at a previous meeting were John Lorenzo Phillips Jr., a non-fraternity man from Birmingham; George Shumaker, member of Sigma Nu social fraternity from Florence, Tau Beta Pi pledge, Scabbard and Blade member, and lieutenant colonel in R. O. T. C; and Ben Shirley Branch of Mobile, president of Tau Beta Pi and a member of Phi Delta Theta social fraternity. Prof. Woodrow Darling, instructor in electrical engineering, was also honored by election to membership in Eta Kappa Nu. Xi Chapter of Eta Kappa Nu was established at Auburn in 1920. This national professional fraternity of electrical engineers was founded at the University of Illinois in 1904, the purpose being to bring into union for mutual benefit these men in the profession of electrical engineering who, by their attainments in college or in practice, have manifested a deep interest and a marked ability in their work. Members are selected from the junior and senior class. Members include R. E. Ledfoet-ter, president, Eugene M. Knight, vice president, Clayton Merrell, secretary, George V. Stelzenmul-ler, treasurer, Richard L. Wat-kins, William E. Benns, and W. J. Brennan. On Nov. 1 all these men will be formally tapped at a smoker to be given in their honor by the members of Eta Kappa Nu. All freshmen and sophomores in electrical engineering are cordially invited to attend. Tau Beta Pi And Delta Sigma Pi Choose Men Honorary Engineering Society Taps Outstanding Students Strong Center Herndon McGehee Wins Cup Of Delta Sigma Pi Delta Sigma Pi's freshman scholarship cup was awarded to Herndon McGehee last week at the special convocation for business students in Langdon Hall. The presentation was made to McGehee, whose average for his freshman year was 95.69, by Dean John W. Scott who highly coni-plemented the award winner on "his most remarkable record." Dean Scott expressed the belief that this was the highest average ever to be attained in his business department. The cup is presented each year by the business and professional fraternity to the sophomore who during his freshman" year had the highest average. The award was followed by the second in a series of lectures sponsored by Delta Sigma Pi for business students. The speaker was Ed Reed, executive seceretary of the Alabama League of Municipalities, whose subject involved the relationship of government to business. GETTY FAIRCHILD, shifted from fullback to center at the beginning of the current season, is pushing Morgan hard for the starting position. He is in on every play and is a fine diagnostician of plays. Rally And Parade Held Wednesday Several hundred Auburnites met on the steps of Langdon Hall Wednesday night to give the football team a big send-off for the trip to Houston. Pepmaster Charlie O'Reilly led the crowd to Toomer's corner, where a parade formed behind the great Auburn band. Students and townspeople marched with the band down College Street and back to Langdon Hall. In the auditorium the pep squad led several yells, and the band played two numbers. O'Reilly introduced Coach Jack Meagher, who spoke for a few minutes minutes, promising that in spite of what happened in the remaining five games, Auburn "will be proud of its team at the end of the season." Spec Kelly, Ralph O'Gwynne, and Captain Bo Russell each said a few words thanking the students for their support and promising to "give Rice hell." The band played "Alma Mater," following which O'Reilly closed the rally with three appropriate "War Eagles." BSU Students To Attend Conference A delegaition of 20 Baptists students at the Alabama Polytechnic Institute will attend the fourth quaderennial All-Southern Baptist Student Conference at Memphis, Tenn., Thursday through Sunday.

Tigers Will Clash With Rice Owls In Houston Auburn Will Face Tough Brand Of Football In Tilt With Rice Institute Team By Boots Stratford Southeastern and Southwestern Conferences meet tomorrow in Houston, Texas, with those traveling Tigers from the Loveliest Village representing the merits of the Southeast, and with the Owls of Rice Institute as the exponent of the brand of ball that the Southwest plays. And that brand of ball is hailed as the roughest, toughest and most wide open type of football in the nation by the almost unanimous vote of that learned gentry: the spouts editors of these United States. Ernie Lain, who is likened unto a rampaging Texas longhorn steer by the Owl's publicity department, is another reason why Rice should afford the Plainsmen an extremely busy afternoon's work. Lain Is Brilliant Rice Flayer This Lain, who tips the beams at a mere 230 after a hard day's practice, is given the spot of number one All-American of the country by Liberty magazine and he has justified this praise by the consistently brilliant play and fighting spirit that he has Shown in Rice's grid battles so far this season. He was injured last week when the Owls beat Texas U., but he will probably be in there ready to tee off against Auburn tomorrow afternoon. The Auburn football team will return home by train Sunday night at 7:55. The hand and the cheerleaders will lead the reception and everybody is urged to be on hand at the station to give those Tigers a rousing welcome. The Owl array presents another great back in.Cordill, whose ability has been somewhat obscured by the brilliant spotlight of publicity that has been concentrated " on Lain. CorduTs supports claim that he is even better than Lain, and that it is he who mops up the would be tacklers and allows Lain to break into the clear on his spectacular runs. Tigers In Good Shape Auburn came out of the Tech game disappointed but not down hearted. They will be ready to shoot the works at Rice, and in the words of Coach Meagher and Captain Bo' Russell, they "will give Rice hell." The Plainsmen are in about the best physical shape possible and if they ever start clicking, they stand a good chance of avenging themselves of last year's 13-7 setback. Spec Kelly should be ready to do a little traveling, and with Dick McGowen as the most capable of replacements, the Tiger aittack should function to its highest degree of efficiency. Fresh from his magnificent performance against Tech, the "Baby Face Assassin," to wit, Bo Russell, will be ready to display his murderous tackle play to the Owls. And the rest of his team mates will be right in there with him. Coach Jack Meagher would rather win the Rice tilt than any other on the Tiger schedule, and we believe that his boys will win this one for him. Rice is rugged, but we believe that those grea| Auburn Tigers are just a little bit more so. Rugged Guard S^eOETTS 3/HtTH EVERETT SMITH has been on the squad for two years and his third year should be the best. While he hasn't played in many games, he plays a rugged game at guard. YWCA Hears Speaker Talk On "Building Personality" The theme of the YWCA program for last Monday night was "Building Personality." Special emphasis was placed on the importance of building a desirable personality while on the campus. Mrs. Hugh Francis was the speaker of the evening, and her subject was "Personality, Its Meaning and Development." Following her talk Mrs. Francis led an informal discussion of individual problems. At the close of the meeting the social committee served refreshments. Review To Be Held For DAR President Mrs. Henry M. Roberts Jr., Annapolis, Md., president general of the National Society Daughters of the American Revolution will be the guest of honor at a review by the cadet corps of the Alabama Polytechnic Institute on Tuesday morning, Nov. 1. Following the review President L. N. Duncan will further honor Mrs. Robert by making her an honorary colonel of the unit. Mrs: ZSbuIoh • Judd, Auburn, past national vice president gene ral, D. A. R., states that a visit to the two CCC camps near Au burn, Camp Samford and that at Chewacla State Park, will be made by Mrs. Robert on Tuesday afternoon. Later in the afternoon she will be the guest of honor at a tea at 3:30 to be held at the home of Dr. and Mrs. L. N. Duncan. At noon Mrs. Robert and out-of- town guests will attend a luncheon at the home of Dr. and Mrs. Judd. Mrs. G. W. S. Musgrave, Laurel, Md., high-ranking D. A. R. officer, will accompany Mrs. Robert to Auburn. Petrie Addresses Kiwanis Club The fact that Japan is winning the undeclared war with China and that Fascist nations in Europe have not been checked bring certain definite dangers to the United States, said Dr. George Petrie, Auburn's head professor of history, in an address here this weeK before the Auburn Kiwanis Club at the Thomas Hotel. Japan's success in the Far East definitely threatens the United States, in the Phillippines, Hawaii, and Alaska, he declared. In case of war, Dr. Petrie believes that the position of the United States in the Phillippines would be untenable. Moreover, it is entirely possible that the United States would need a second fleet to protect the Panama Canal from the Pacific side. There is no doubt, continued thj speaker, but that democracy i: now on trial in Europe and is definitely under pressure in the United States. Disorders in Europe and Asia will result in the nece sity of higher taxes here for increased armaments. In case of war in other parts of the world, certain restrictions will probably be placed on radio, the press, and on teaching in the United States. Disorders in Europe and the Far East also offer a threat to our foreign trade in South America, said Dr. Petrie. It is a fact, he pointed out, that the people in Latin America are distinctly "Latin" in their traditions and ideas of government. For this reason they offer a fertile field for the establishment of Fascist ideals. Representatives To Executive Group Of WAA Named Eight Co-Eds Are Elected At Convocation For Women Held Thursday Morning By Helen Barnes At a convocation of women students held Thursday morning at 11 a. m. in Langdon Hall the following co-eds were chosen as class representatives to the Woman's Athletic Association:, seniors, Ar-tha Mae Thompson, June Tooker, and Doris White; juniors, Mary Hayes and Hulda Rutland; sophomores, Betty Belle Brandt and Sue Quattlebaum; freshman, Mickey Fuquay. The W. A. A. includes in its membership every woman student. It sponsors intramural sports and is planning to give a girl-break dance Feb. 18. The Auburn Knights will play for this affair, which will be held in the WPA Hall or the girls' gym. The W. A. A. is also assisting the high schools with Play Day this Saturday. The executive committee of the W. A. A| consists of Woodrow Kil-gore, president; Sara Lee Banks, vice' president; Margaret Jones, secretary; Virginia Adams, treasurer; Frances Mullins, Alpha Gamma Delta sport leader; Virginia Holcombe, Chi Omega sports leader; Mary Lydia Williamson, Kappa Delta sports leader; Jes sie Belle Isbell, Phi Omega Pi Theta Upsilon sports leader. There will be another convo nation for women students in a-bout four weeks. The executive committee of the W. A. A. will meet at 5 p. m. on the second Monday of each month in Smith Hall. Total Enrollment Now 3,005 Breaking ot enrollment records at Alabama Polytechnic Institute has become so common as to no longer make news. However, there should be some interest in the fact that for the first time in its history college records now show more than 3,000 students enrolled at one time. To be exact, the figure is 3,005. Records in the accountant's office show this number. However, records in the registrar's office disclose that 15 of this total are nursery school pupils and should not be included in the regular college enrollment. Ten more regular college students are needed then before the semester ends to bring the total above 3,000. Whether or not we accept the registrar's or the accountant's interpretation of the enrollment, Registrar Charles W. Edwards is confident that the needed ten students will enroll. Students may still receive credit in special courses, and as many as ten more can be expected. Women students show the greater percentage of increase over previous school years. At present the number of regularly enrolled co-eds is 450 with 6 nursery school enrollments to bring the total to 456. Last fall women numbered 375, making an increase of approximately 22 per cent. Of these students 170 are in Education, 132 in Home Economics, 98 in Science and Literature, 37 in Architecture and Applied Arts, 9 in Chemistry and Pharmacy, 2 in Agriculture and one each in Engineering and Veterinarian Medicine. For the entire college the Engineering School leads with 716, closely followed by Science and Literature, 602. Other schools show: Education, 570, Agriculture, 381, Chemistry and Pharmacy, 259, Veterinarian Medicine, 198, Home Economics, 132, and Architecture and Applied Arts, 128.

Because of their strength, which bears me as lightly as a feather upon their backs. Because of their speed, which carries me from here to there and back again. Because of their intelligence, which enables them to understand my wishes and to execute them promptly and joyfully. Because of their docility, which allows me to rush, shouting, into their stalls at any hour of the day and night and pick up their feet with impunity. And—most of all—because of their fragrance, which permeates my clothing and makes me a marked man in any company. For some time the Plainsman has been thinking of conducting a "You Be The Editor" poll by which every student who cared to express his opinion about the paper and the features appearing therein could do so. We have also been thinking of conducting a poll to determine how the student body feels about this business of the Auburn Spirit and its perpetuation. At the suggestion of several Auburn spirit enthusiasts the Plainsman, in cooperation with Pep Manager Bill Troup, will Monday conduct a poll to determine the feeling of the students towards the Plainsman and the features in it and to discover how they view the organization of a Tiger Club on the Auburn campus. The purposes of the Tiger Club will be threefold: first, to maintain and perpetuate the Auburn Spirit by working in cooperation with the cheerleaders and the pep manager; second, to work with the school officials and aid them in their problems relating to school spirit and student conduct; third, in general to supervise the activities of the freshmen. Suggested membership of the Tiger Club is of pyramided nature: six seniors, five juniors, and four sophomores. The "A" Club is to choose the six seniors, looking toward choosing men who are outstanding as far as agressiveness and school spirit are concerned. Then these six men will in turn select the juniors, and they the sophomores. No two members of a fraternity may be in a class group. That is, in the senior group of six there shall be no two men belonging to the same social fraternity. The club is to be perpetual in nature, the retiring members making the selection of members, as is the case in nearly all campus organizations. At the end of the year the seniors shall use their discretion in deciding whether or not a sophomore shall advance to junior membership or junior to senior. This provision gives the club the power to weed out men who are not in accord with the activities of the organization. Members of the club are to be recognized by a key and a blue and orange pep hat. In our minds there is much that can be done with such an organization. It could assist in organizing the freshman cheering and in conducting organized freshman pep activities. It could greatly aid in the current rat cap situation and eould aid the pep manager and cheerleaders in carrying out pep rallies. Balloting Monday will take place at the Main Gate, and the ballot wil have on it a statement of the purposes and organization of the proposed Tiger Cub and the question: "Are you in favor of the formation of a Tiger Club as outlined above?" The "You Be The Editor" section of the ballot will enable Plainsman readers to give criticisms and suggestions on all features of the paper. The ballot will read something like this: (Please check in proper space—1. Always 2. Occasionally 3. Never.)

THE FOLLOWING DITTY composed some years ago and, incidentally, never published. Read it and you, too, will understand. A missionary, Thomas Campbell, Into the Congo took a ramble; He made his way to a thriving town And tried to put the devil down. One day the wife of the village chief Had no mutton, pork, or beef; She knocked old Campbell for a loop, And the chiefitian's folks had Campbell soup. * * • 2. ATTENDING A. P. I. ARE kinsmen of both President R. C. Foster of the University of Alabama, and Chancellor O. C. Car-michael of Vanderbilt. * * * 111. WHEN SHERMAN SAID, "War is hell," he told us about the what of war. Did "a man called Cercantes" offer an explanation of the why of it when he depicted one Don Quixote's encounter with a great army—an army which in the eyes of Sancho Panza was only a flock of sheep? Of course, Sancho was a realist. He saw what he saw, not what someone told him he should see. These realists are such unroman-tic things; don't you think so? * » » 52. THE GREAT STRENGTH OF the Deal family, whence springs Rufus, freshman guard, is hinted at by this most accurate tale: One day, on being in a state of slight irritation, Rufus' brother, Dwight, with bare foot, kay-oed a mule; whereupon Rufus toted the mule up to the barn, laid it in a wagon, and pulled the wagon into town to the veterinarian. All of which—and more— leads us to predict for Rufus Deal a not unbright future as a full-fledged Tiger. * * » 776. THIS COLUMN (UNDER A DIFFERENT NAME) has alluded before to Dale Carnegie. We take this opportunity merely to disagree with (not to offend) Martin Wender, whose letter commending Mr. Carnegie to the college officials appeared in last Tuesday's Plainsman. We do not believe that Carnegie has any place on an Auburn schedule of entertainment. We believe that the American political and economic systems are kept in the air by too much super-salesmanship already. Furthermore, whenever we read some lines from Dale Carnegie we think of an aging phrase: "No matter how thin you slice it, it's still baloney." « « • 725. A SURPLUS OF COLD BISCUITS for supper is apt to make us ill tempered, so we disagree with "Centurion" who also wrote to the Editor on Tuesday last. It is our opinion that if the Tiger showed Hedy Lamarr in "Ecstasy" there still would be a bunch of fellows who have that itehy thing in their feet—no, not that—we meant to say, wanderlust. It is practically the same thing that makes girls leave home. ALABAMA AND HER PROBLEMS Own Your Textbooks "Own your own textbooks" would be a good slogan for Auburn students. A student cannot do himself justice if he does not. He seriously decreases his chances of passing if he depends upon borrowed books for his study. Everyone knows of cases where three and four students are using the same text. It is unfair to parents who pay four and five hundred dollars for a student's education for students to court failure by not owning textbooks. The personal ownership of textbooks is good insurance and good investment. Of course, ownership does not mean mastery of the contents. But ownership will help and might save what might otherwise be a loss. Editor's Mailbox Editor The Auburn Plainsman Dear Sir: Is an Auburn team beaten after another team has scored 7 points against them? We don't think so but the CHEERLEADERS do. If you were at the game Saturday you probably noticed, after Tech scored, all the cheer leaders did was look at the game with a down-hearted look in their faces. They made no effort to lead the stands in cheers. In our section of the stands a number of cheers were started by the students and the cheer leaders offered no help whatsoever to put them over. The only help came from one of the drummers in the band. No matter where a cheer was started you soon heard the beat of the drum. We think the drummer did more for the cheering than any of the cheer leaders. We have all heard of the Auburn spirit being let down by students this year but now we think the cheer leaders let us down instead of the student body. Signed, George S. Fisher E. R. Reynolds H. McDaniel Stan McMillan George Moore By Benjamin Russell, President The Alabama State Chamber of Commerce The subject assigned to me of "Alabama and Her Problems" is one which can hardly be touched on in a brief editorial but rather one to which we might devote a year's study with great profit to ourselves and our state. The problems of Alabama and the South have recently been the subject of numerous reports, books, and studies. These problems, recently discovered by some, have long been understood by many leaders in our state but too little has been done toward their solution. If these reports and books reveal nothing new, they still may serve a purpose if by them and the resulting publicity, our own people can be spurred to a concerted effort to solve such problems. Alabama is a state rich in natural resources and advantages which are known to all, but these resources and advantages have not been utilized as they should have been. Hence the problems which confront us today. We have long been a state "rich in possibilities, but we remain comparatively poor in reality. Many Reasons For Alabama's Low Income And Buying Power There are many reasons or contributing factors for our present status of very low income and buying power. The Reconstruction Period is one most frequently mentioned, and certainly this period had its effect when we consider that it was about 1910 before the total taxable value of all property in Alabama reached what it was in 1860. The protective tariff under which the South has bought its goods in a protected market and sold its one cash crop (cotton) in an unprotected market is another factor. Unfair freight rates which have prevailed, lack of local capital, discriminatory legislation, waste of our lands, one crop system of agriculture, and many other factors could be considered as contributing to our present problems. Alabama is 72 per cent rural in population, as compared with less than 7 per cent in the New England states and a national average of 44 per cent. The significance of these figures is the fact that annual income runs much higher in those states where industrial development has afforded payroll opportunities to a larger number of the rural population than it does In Alabama. Alabama's Wealth Contrasted With Ohio's Contrast, for example, the wealth of a state like Ohio, which has many industries, with that of Alabama, which has relatively few in comparison: Ohio has 40,740 square miles. The wealth of that state is estimated at $18,489,522,000. Ohio adds annually to her wealth by manufacturing the sum of $1,576,176,000. The value of her farm property is estimated at $2,236,902,000. Alabama has 51,- 279 square miles—about 11,000 more than Ohio, which is itself equal to the size of a Nev? England state. Alabama has an estimated wealth of $3,002,000,000. And Alabama's farm property is valued at only $611,301,000. The reason for this difference in favor of Ohio does not lie in the superior ability of the Ohio farmer. It lies in the fact that while industrial workers In Ohio are piling up over 1 1-2 billion dollars annually by manufacturing, Alabama, for the lack of opportunity, is adding only a scant $151,050,000. Additional Industries Alabama's Greatest Need Development and expansion of manufacturing activities are the quickest and most effective force in stimulating permanent community growth and prosperity. A much desired balance between agriculture and industry is needed for real prosperity and increased purchasing power. Hence the Alabama State Chamber of Commerce adopted as Its slogan "Supplement Farm with Factory." Increased farm income from livestock and diversified farming can and should be sought. Cash markets fdr farm products should be developed. Our forest resources should be conserved and reforestation encouraged. Our transportation facilities developed and maintained. Our recreational facilities developed and tourist trade sought. All these tilings are important, but our greatest need is additional industries in Alabama. We must set up, from within and from without, more and more diversified industries providing employment for Alabama people, laying stress on the particular kind of industries that would take the raw material in the location where produced and process and refine it for consumer use. Alabama needs to produce more of the things it consumes and to consume more of the things it produces. Certainly no group should be more interested in development of Alabama than Alabama college students being trained for citizenship and business in an Alabama institution supported by taxes of Alabama citizens. Migration Of Tooth Sooth's Greatest Loss The greatest loss the South is suffering today is from the movement of its youth to other sections. In this loss Alabama shares. Almost one-fourth of all persons born in Alabama have gone elsewhere to live. An examination of the 1930 census discloses 311,587 persons residing in Alabama who were born in other states and 691,618 persons of Alabama birth living in other states. Thus Alabama suffered a net loss of 380,031 persons in the movement of its native citizens beyond the boundaries of the state. In this shift the rural areas lost more in proportion than the cities. In losing such a considerable percentage of our population to other sections, we are losing young blood that is sorely needed for our state's upbuilding. The vast majority of those who emigrate are the most ambitious and promising of our youth, who have been educated in our schools and colleges at the expense of taxpayers and then forced to seek opportunity elsewhere. Thus are we contributing our young people to create wealth for these other sections. This condition would bring home to all public-spirited citizens of Alabama the urgent need for further state development along all lines. To keep our talented young men and women in their native state, we must see that Alabama offers them in equal measure, equal opportunity to that which they can find elsewhere. With these things in mind Alabama business men, industrialists, and leading citizens in every field have set up the Alabama State Chamber of Commerce and more than a thousand of them have made membership investments in this organization. Alabama's problems must be solved by Alabama citizens who through cooperative effort can transform her possiblities and advantages into realities, wealth and opportunity for "you and other Alabamians who will follow you. Before Tomorrow By John Godbold LAST YEAR, December 10, to be exact, there appeared in the Column "News and Views" by the same author a brief paragraph entitled "The 1937 Psalm." Since that paragraph was written a lot of water has passed under the bridge. President Roosevelt has done some things, which, perhaps, he should not have done. He has made statements which were better left unsaid. Be these things as they may, the words of that "1937 Psalm" are, to us, as true today as when they were written almost a year ago. At the request of several readers we repeat, "The Psalm of 19- 37." Yea a time of great famine and want fell upon the land. The people cried out in their need for they knew not whither to go and their leaders could no longer lead them. So from all corners of the land the people cast their ballots for a leader, yea, they cast them till verily the land did slide, and they said unto their new leader, "Save us for we know not whither to go." Wherefore, he led them from the paths of destruction and suffering. But when he had guided them out of their wilderness they turned upon him and cast stones at him, saying, "Thou squandered too many of our shekels in saving us. Thou should have saved us without spending any of our substance. Surely we will not repay." Each man whispered to his representative in the court, "Surely this unworthy man might have saved us without wasting our gold and silver. You must not make us repay." And the courtesans gave heed, but all over the land the wise raen smiled at the foolhardiness of the people. * * * Thanks to John Ivey who served as an excellent pinch-hitter in turning out the Tuesday's edition of this column. * * * IN A GEORGIA TOWN the sheriff has had to lock the door of the jail to keep a prisoner out. Not long ago an itinerant preacher was jailed there for disturbing the peace with a loud-speaker system on his automobile. Immediately, controvery began raging throughout the town as to whether or not the preacher should have been arrested. In order ito stop the quarrels the sheriff offered the prisoner his freedom, but the culprit refused to leave the jail. The officer ordered him to leave, but the prisoner's response was to go on an "I won't eat" strike. There in jail the fellow languished until the sheriff lured him outside of the building on a pretext and then locked the doors so he couldn't get back in. * * * AT CAYCE, in the southwestern tip of Kentucky, last week Senator Barkley unveiled a stone marker to John Luther Jones, the Illinois Central engineer who was killed near Vaughn, Miss., April 30, 1900, when his crack cannon-ball train of twelve cars crashed into a standing freight. Jones stayed in his cab to save his passengers and died. He told the negro fireman to jump. That fireman, Sim Webb, was in Cayce to recall the famous order attributed to Jones: Jump, Sim, jump; There's two locomotives A-going to bump. The ballad, said to have been begun by two negro engine wipers in a round house and still the subject of addition and variation, has almost made Casey legendary.

Pitt, Notre Dame Tops In Football Sturdy Pitt and Notre Dame remained at the top of football's great during one of the wildest week-ends of upsets since Rutgers and Princeton started the game back in 1869. Those upsets were reflected by the lowest Williamson efficiency on a mid-season week since it began rating football teams. The System made an over-all efficiency of 85.2 per cent on 307 games, including late scores from the week before. The week's record on 307 games included 36 decided upsets, 11 unexpected ties, 11 anticipated ties and 27 upsets which were not violently opposed to the rating. The System correctly predicted half of the week's tie games. By losing to a strong Georgia Tech eleven, the Auburn Tigers dropped down in Williamson's rating for this week. The Plainsmen were ranked no. 30 among the teams of the nation. Following is a list of the first 15 teams ranked by Williamson: 1. Pitt 2. Notre Dame 3. Santa Clara 4. T. C. U. 5. Tennessee 6.

BURTON'S BOOKSTORE Something New Every Day Vols In Complete Control Of Conference Football After Last Week's Play The Tennessee Volunteers, a-lone in the undefeated and untied ranks, moved into complete command of the battle-scarred football forces of the Southeastern Conference after last week's play. Victorious in five games and leading the conference championship race with three triumphs, Tennessee had survived the gruelling early season campaign, which last Saturday saw Vanderbilt and Georgia toppled from the select group possessing unmarred records. There are eight games on the program for this week-end in the league, with the Tennessee-L. S. U. engagement topping the list. The game is to be played in Knox-ville. The intersectional contest be tween Auburn and Rice, to be played in Houston, promises to be a bang-up affair, with ithe Bengals out to seek revenge for last year's defeat. Two other intersectional duel are on the slate, Mississippi, go ing to Washington for an engage ment with George Washington, and Florida invading Boston for a combat with Boston College. The Crimson Tide should have little trouble in subduing the Kentucky Wildcats in Lexington, and Sewannee will have her hands full with Tennessee Tech. Another headline scrap is the battle between Georgia Tech and Vanderbilt, which is to take place in Nashville. And the fracas between Tulane and Mississippi State in New Orleans will be a formidable affair, with the Green Wave ruling the favorite.

The final score was 13 to 13. As ties must be played off, the two teams will meet soon to determine the winner. In the event the PiKA's win, these teams must clash' again for the championship of League I. In League II, the Sigma Nu's scored in the second period yesterday and added the extra point to defeat the Phi Delta Theta's 7 to 0. This victory cinched the crown for the Sigma Nu's, who finished with a record of four wins in as many games. The Kappa Sig's whipped .the Theta Kappa Nu's 46 to 0 t6 in crease their lead in League III. A victory in the coming game with the Theta Chi's will give them four straight wins and first place in the league. The KA's and the Ox boys are very much in the race, and if the Kappa Sig's are beaten, these teams will be in a three-way tie. The SPE bunch has annexed the crown in League IV with four victories and no defeats. In the independent division Thach has gained first place in League I with three wins in as many starts. Wittel, with victories in the first two games, leads League II. Wittel is to face the Dudley team as soon as a date can be arranged. League III has been a little slow in getting underway, and at present the Carr Hall bunch, winners of the first game, leads this league. Rew's Wildcats, with two wins and no set-backs, are trying to get a straight hold on the first place in League IV. In the recent intercollegiate tilt between the ATO's of Auburn and Emory, the Emory boys emerged at the paying end of a 13 to 0 score. Emory students said this was their first intercollegiate football game in years.

LEE COMPANY WORN BY MILLIONS SOLD BY SAMMY'S Russell, Kelly, McGowen Are Outstanding In Play For Auburn Team By Boots Stratford Georgia Tech was a well-directed and well-coached team Saturday in Atlanta, and they won a tough ball game because of this factor, defeating the Auburn Tigers, 7 to 6. Hawk Cavette deserves high praise because of his magnificient kicking, Billy Gibson should be lauded for his hard running, and Bobby Beers was a vital factor in Tech's victory over Auburn with his beautiful run on the opening play of the game and then of course his nicely faked touchdown pass. However, these things would have come to naught before the charge of a battling Bengal eleven but for the presence of one Howard Ector, an unspectacular fullback who calls the plays and who knows how to run a football team. Tigers Show Up Well, Too But let us look at Auburn's side of the picture. There was one break that seemed to mean the difference between a win and a loss to the Bengals, for it occur-ed just before the Yellow Jacket's touchdown toss. At that point it was fourth down and about one foot to go for a first down. Tech made a line plunge, or at least an attempt at one, for the Jacket tailback ran into a solid wall of his own players that had been straightened up by the Auburn forwards, and was downed for what was apparently a yard or so loss. Now that may sound like sour grapes, but that's the way the play looked like from the stands and that's the way it looked in the movies the night after the game. And it was definitely the turning point of the game as was proved by later events. Russell, McGowen, Kelly Good Outstanding were the achievements of Captain Bo Russell, Speck Kelly and Dick McGowen. Russell was brilliant and savage in tearing into the Jacket's interference and often times he brought down both interferer and ball carrier at one fell swoop. Getty Fairchild at center and Charlie Haynsworth at fullback both played a whale of a game, especially on defense, where they constantly made bone-jarring tackles. Diminutive Johnny Davis engineered Auburn's touchdown drive, which carried 80 yards, with McGowen supplying the drive that carried the ball down to Tech's three yard line. There the Golden Tornado held for three downs and Jack Meagher sent into the fray Charlie Haynsworth and Osmo Smith with a play to be executed. The play was a pass and it was completed for a touchdown. And thereby lies a tale, the most thrilling episode of the game. Smith took the ball from Fairchild and drifted back to about the ten, there a host of Tech linemen burst through on him and one of them attached himself fondly, albeit firmly, a-bout Osmo's neck. Osmo staggered, then starightened up and des-peratively threw the ball. Haynsworth, waiting on the two, leaned forward to make a shoe string catch, then whirled and, with a determined plunge, shot across the goal line. His teammates embraced him and pounded him on the back but their exultation was short lived for a minute later Anderson broke through to block the try for extra point, and when he dashed the flying pigskin to the ground he dashed the hopes of a gallant Auburn Tiger to the ground with it, for the game ended shortly after as Tech intercepted an Auburn pass.

The zobab-hah, or devil-wind, is a desert hurricane of savage violence. Raging across the dunes, it whips up huge clouds of sand as it travels. The force of the blast changes the terrain miraculously, piling up mountains of sand where once were valleys, completely obliterating caravan routes and even wiping out many of the pitifully few oases. This ferocious wind was Nature's greatest weapon of defense in the battle waged upon her by the a-mazing Ferdinand de Ltfsseps, the man who literally tore continents apart to create the canal that has become the jugular vein of the world. De Lesseps, who fought political and financial discouragement, who successfully withstood aittacks by hostile Arabs, who overcame the hardships of landslides, lack of water and tropical heat, found his cherished dream almost shattered by the simoon.

The Opelika Coca-Cola Bottling Company opened its new plant in May 1938, to serve people in Opelika and vicinity with the bottled drink that leads all others in the naition in popularity. The plant is said to be as modern and well equipped as any bottling plant in the south, embodying all the latest improvements in bottling machinery, and designed to give the greatest degree of cleanliness and sanitary precautions. Throughout the entire bottling operation the bottles are not touched by hand until they are filled and capped. Every possible measure is taken to insure a completely pure drink. The plant is under the efficient management of Mr. Curtis Roberts Jr., assisted by an able staff of trained operators who know how to put the best into their nationally known product. Operating two trucks, the Opelika plant serves a wide territory in this immediate section, including Opelika, Auburn, Loachapo-ka, Notasulga, Marvyn, Salem, Beulah, Bartlett's Ferry, Cusseta, Waverly, and intermediate points. your column.

Staples Speaks To Kiwanians Prof. R. H. Staples of the Archi-tectual department addressed the weekly meeting of the Auburn Ki-wanis club last Monday during their luncheon at the Thomas Hotel. Prof. John W. Roe of the Language Department, had charge of the program and introduced Prof. Staples at the beginning of his talk. The lecture was on "The Modern Trend of Art" and included an interesting exhibit of paintings to illustrate the talk. Several free-hand drawings were done by Prof. Staples during the talk to further illustrate hi? points. After the lecture, the club business was taken up. Prof. Burke president-elect of the Kiwanis Club, made a report on the statewide convention that was held in Mobile recently. The club also en-uorsea unanimously the projec started by Mrs. H. B. Peacock, chairman, committee for beautifi-cation of highways, to widen the highway between here and Ope-lika. Dr. C. S. Davis was present at the meeting for the first time as a regular member. He was recently taken into the club. Eta Kappa Nu Taps Eight Juniors In Electrical Formal Tapping Is To Take Place On November 1 At An Eta Kappa Nu Smoker Eight of the top-ranking members of the junior class in electrical engineering were tapped for membership at a recent meeting of Eta Kappa Nu, national honorary electrical engineering fraternity. Those named from the junior class for this signal honor are William Miller Boggs Jr., Selma; James William Cowen, Elba; Frank Beasley Gunter, Phehix City; Clarence LeRoy Mershon, Fairhope; Carl Clifton Motley, Autaugaville; and Dawson Hope Mullen Jr., Birmingham; all of the preceding being non-fraternity men. In addition, William Brooks Carroll, member of Delta Sigma Phi from Birmingham, and Henry Edward Mohns, member of Kappa Sigma from Atlanta, Ga., were tapped. Seniors elected at a previous meeting were John Lorenzo Phillips Jr., a non-fraternity man from Birmingham; George Shumaker, member of Sigma Nu social fraternity from Florence, Tau Beta Pi pledge, Scabbard and Blade member, and lieutenant colonel in R. O. T. C; and Ben Shirley Branch of Mobile, president of Tau Beta Pi and a member of Phi Delta Theta social fraternity. Prof. Woodrow Darling, instructor in electrical engineering, was also honored by election to membership in Eta Kappa Nu. Xi Chapter of Eta Kappa Nu was established at Auburn in 1920. This national professional fraternity of electrical engineers was founded at the University of Illinois in 1904, the purpose being to bring into union for mutual benefit these men in the profession of electrical engineering who, by their attainments in college or in practice, have manifested a deep interest and a marked ability in their work. Members are selected from the junior and senior class. Members include R. E. Ledfoet-ter, president, Eugene M. Knight, vice president, Clayton Merrell, secretary, George V. Stelzenmul-ler, treasurer, Richard L. Wat-kins, William E. Benns, and W. J. Brennan. On Nov. 1 all these men will be formally tapped at a smoker to be given in their honor by the members of Eta Kappa Nu. All freshmen and sophomores in electrical engineering are cordially invited to attend. Tau Beta Pi And Delta Sigma Pi Choose Men Honorary Engineering Society Taps Outstanding Students Strong Center Herndon McGehee Wins Cup Of Delta Sigma Pi Delta Sigma Pi's freshman scholarship cup was awarded to Herndon McGehee last week at the special convocation for business students in Langdon Hall. The presentation was made to McGehee, whose average for his freshman year was 95.69, by Dean John W. Scott who highly coni-plemented the award winner on "his most remarkable record." Dean Scott expressed the belief that this was the highest average ever to be attained in his business department. The cup is presented each year by the business and professional fraternity to the sophomore who during his freshman" year had the highest average. The award was followed by the second in a series of lectures sponsored by Delta Sigma Pi for business students. The speaker was Ed Reed, executive seceretary of the Alabama League of Municipalities, whose subject involved the relationship of government to business. GETTY FAIRCHILD, shifted from fullback to center at the beginning of the current season, is pushing Morgan hard for the starting position. He is in on every play and is a fine diagnostician of plays. Rally And Parade Held Wednesday Several hundred Auburnites met on the steps of Langdon Hall Wednesday night to give the football team a big send-off for the trip to Houston. Pepmaster Charlie O'Reilly led the crowd to Toomer's corner, where a parade formed behind the great Auburn band. Students and townspeople marched with the band down College Street and back to Langdon Hall. In the auditorium the pep squad led several yells, and the band played two numbers. O'Reilly introduced Coach Jack Meagher, who spoke for a few minutes minutes, promising that in spite of what happened in the remaining five games, Auburn "will be proud of its team at the end of the season." Spec Kelly, Ralph O'Gwynne, and Captain Bo Russell each said a few words thanking the students for their support and promising to "give Rice hell." The band played "Alma Mater," following which O'Reilly closed the rally with three appropriate "War Eagles." BSU Students To Attend Conference A delegaition of 20 Baptists students at the Alabama Polytechnic Institute will attend the fourth quaderennial All-Southern Baptist Student Conference at Memphis, Tenn., Thursday through Sunday. Heading the delegation will be the Rev. Davis Woolley, Auburn Baptist student pastor, and Lar-kin T. Wyers, Birmingham, president of the Auburn Baptist Student Union.

Among the new features at the conference will be a "Christian Student March" through downtown Memphis Saturday afternoon. Participating in the march will be 2,500 Baptist students from all southern states. NOTICE Blouses which were ordered for cadets have arrived. They may be drawn from the supply room in the basement of Samford any time Saturday or Monday. Tigers Will Clash With Rice Owls In Houston Auburn Will Face Tough Brand Of Football In Tilt With Rice Institute Team By Boots Stratford Southeastern and Southwestern Conferences meet tomorrow in Houston, Texas, with those traveling Tigers from the Loveliest Village representing the merits of the Southeast, and with the Owls of Rice Institute as the exponent of the brand of ball that the Southwest plays. And that brand of ball is hailed as the roughest, toughest and most wide open type of football in the nation by the almost unanimous vote of that learned gentry: the spouts editors of these United States. Ernie Lain, who is likened unto a rampaging Texas longhorn steer by the Owl's publicity department, is another reason why Rice should afford the Plainsmen an extremely busy afternoon's work. Lain Is Brilliant Rice Flayer This Lain, who tips the beams at a mere 230 after a hard day's practice, is given the spot of number one All-American of the country by Liberty magazine and he has justified this praise by the consistently brilliant play and fighting spirit that he has Shown in Rice's grid battles so far this season. He was injured last week when the Owls beat Texas U., but he will probably be in there ready to tee off against Auburn tomorrow afternoon. The Auburn football team will return home by train Sunday night at 7:55. The hand and the cheerleaders will lead the reception and everybody is urged to be on hand at the station to give those Tigers a rousing welcome. The Owl array presents another great back in.Cordill, whose ability has been somewhat obscured by the brilliant spotlight of publicity that has been concentrated " on Lain. CorduTs supports claim that he is even better than Lain, and that it is he who mops up the would be tacklers and allows Lain to break into the clear on his spectacular runs. Tigers In Good Shape Auburn came out of the Tech game disappointed but not down hearted. They will be ready to shoot the works at Rice, and in the words of Coach Meagher and Captain Bo' Russell, they "will give Rice hell." The Plainsmen are in about the best physical shape possible and if they ever start clicking, they stand a good chance of avenging themselves of last year's 13-7 setback. Spec Kelly should be ready to do a little traveling, and with Dick McGowen as the most capable of replacements, the Tiger aittack should function to its highest degree of efficiency. Fresh from his magnificent performance against Tech, the "Baby Face Assassin," to wit, Bo Russell, will be ready to display his murderous tackle play to the Owls. And the rest of his team mates will be right in there with him. Coach Jack Meagher would rather win the Rice tilt than any other on the Tiger schedule, and we believe that his boys will win this one for him. Rice is rugged, but we believe that those grea| Auburn Tigers are just a little bit more so. Rugged Guard S^eOETTS 3/HtTH EVERETT SMITH has been on the squad for two years and his third year should be the best. While he hasn't played in many games, he plays a rugged game at guard. YWCA Hears Speaker Talk On "Building Personality" The theme of the YWCA program for last Monday night was "Building Personality." Special emphasis was placed on the importance of building a desirable personality while on the campus. Mrs. Hugh Francis was the speaker of the evening, and her subject was "Personality, Its Meaning and Development." Following her talk Mrs. Francis led an informal discussion of individual problems. At the close of the meeting the social committee served refreshments. Review To Be Held For DAR President Mrs. Henry M. Roberts Jr., Annapolis, Md., president general of the National Society Daughters of the American Revolution will be the guest of honor at a review by the cadet corps of the Alabama Polytechnic Institute on Tuesday morning, Nov. 1. Following the review President L. N. Duncan will further honor Mrs. Robert by making her an honorary colonel of the unit. Mrs: ZSbuIoh • Judd, Auburn, past national vice president gene ral, D. A. R., states that a visit to the two CCC camps near Au burn, Camp Samford and that at Chewacla State Park, will be made by Mrs. Robert on Tuesday afternoon. Later in the afternoon she will be the guest of honor at a tea at 3:30 to be held at the home of Dr. and Mrs. L. N. Duncan. At noon Mrs. Robert and out-of- town guests will attend a luncheon at the home of Dr. and Mrs. Judd. Mrs. G. W. S. Musgrave, Laurel, Md., high-ranking D. A. R. officer, will accompany Mrs. Robert to Auburn. Petrie Addresses Kiwanis Club The fact that Japan is winning the undeclared war with China and that Fascist nations in Europe have not been checked bring certain definite dangers to the United States, said Dr. George Petrie, Auburn's head professor of history, in an address here this weeK before the Auburn Kiwanis Club at the Thomas Hotel. Japan's success in the Far East definitely threatens the United States, in the Phillippines, Hawaii, and Alaska, he declared. In case of war, Dr. Petrie believes that the position of the United States in the Phillippines would be untenable. Moreover, it is entirely possible that the United States would need a second fleet to protect the Panama Canal from the Pacific side. There is no doubt, continued thj speaker, but that democracy i: now on trial in Europe and is definitely under pressure in the United States. Disorders in Europe and Asia will result in the nece sity of higher taxes here for increased armaments. In case of war in other parts of the world, certain restrictions will probably be placed on radio, the press, and on teaching in the United States. Disorders in Europe and the Far East also offer a threat to our foreign trade in South America, said Dr. Petrie. It is a fact, he pointed out, that the people in Latin America are distinctly "Latin" in their traditions and ideas of government. For this reason they offer a fertile field for the establishment of Fascist ideals. Representatives To Executive Group Of WAA Named Eight Co-Eds Are Elected At Convocation For Women Held Thursday Morning By Helen Barnes At a convocation of women students held Thursday morning at 11 a. m. in Langdon Hall the following co-eds were chosen as class representatives to the Woman's Athletic Association:, seniors, Ar-tha Mae Thompson, June Tooker, and Doris White; juniors, Mary Hayes and Hulda Rutland; sophomores, Betty Belle Brandt and Sue Quattlebaum; freshman, Mickey Fuquay. The W. A. A. includes in its membership every woman student. It sponsors intramural sports and is planning to give a girl-break dance Feb. 18. The Auburn Knights will play for this affair, which will be held in the WPA Hall or the girls' gym. The W. A. A. is also assisting the high schools with Play Day this Saturday. The executive committee of the W. A. A| consists of Woodrow Kil-gore, president; Sara Lee Banks, vice' president; Margaret Jones, secretary; Virginia Adams, treasurer; Frances Mullins, Alpha Gamma Delta sport leader; Virginia Holcombe, Chi Omega sports leader; Mary Lydia Williamson, Kappa Delta sports leader; Jes sie Belle Isbell, Phi Omega Pi Theta Upsilon sports leader. There will be another convo nation for women students in a-bout four weeks. The executive committee of the W. A. A. will meet at 5 p. m. on the second Monday of each month in Smith Hall. Total Enrollment Now 3,005 Breaking ot enrollment records at Alabama Polytechnic Institute has become so common as to no longer make news. However, there should be some interest in the fact that for the first time in its history college records now show more than 3,000 students enrolled at one time. To be exact, the figure is 3,005. Records in the accountant's office show this number. However, records in the registrar's office disclose that 15 of this total are nursery school pupils and should not be included in the regular college enrollment. Ten more regular college students are needed then before the semester ends to bring the total above 3,000. Whether or not we accept the registrar's or the accountant's interpretation of the enrollment, Registrar Charles W. Edwards is confident that the needed ten students will enroll. Students may still receive credit in special courses, and as many as ten more can be expected. Women students show the greater percentage of increase over previous school years. At present the number of regularly enrolled co-eds is 450 with 6 nursery school enrollments to bring the total to 456. Last fall women numbered 375, making an increase of approximately 22 per cent. Of these students 170 are in Education, 132 in Home Economics, 98 in Science and Literature, 37 in Architecture and Applied Arts, 9 in Chemistry and Pharmacy, 2 in Agriculture and one each in Engineering and Veterinarian Medicine. For the entire college the Engineering School leads with 716, closely followed by Science and Literature, 602. Other schools show: Education, 570, Agriculture, 381, Chemistry and Pharmacy, 259, Veterinarian Medicine, 198, Home Economics, 132, and Architecture and Applied Arts, 128.

Because of their strength, which bears me as lightly as a feather upon their backs. Because of their speed, which carries me from here to there and back again. Because of their intelligence, which enables them to understand my wishes and to execute them promptly and joyfully. Because of their docility, which allows me to rush, shouting, into their stalls at any hour of the day and night and pick up their feet with impunity. And—most of all—because of their fragrance, which permeates my clothing and makes me a marked man in any company. For some time the Plainsman has been thinking of conducting a "You Be The Editor" poll by which every student who cared to express his opinion about the paper and the features appearing therein could do so. We have also been thinking of conducting a poll to determine how the student body feels about this business of the Auburn Spirit and its perpetuation. At the suggestion of several Auburn spirit enthusiasts the Plainsman, in cooperation with Pep Manager Bill Troup, will Monday conduct a poll to determine the feeling of the students towards the Plainsman and the features in it and to discover how they view the organization of a Tiger Club on the Auburn campus. The purposes of the Tiger Club will be threefold: first, to maintain and perpetuate the Auburn Spirit by working in cooperation with the cheerleaders and the pep manager; second, to work with the school officials and aid them in their problems relating to school spirit and student conduct; third, in general to supervise the activities of the freshmen. Suggested membership of the Tiger Club is of pyramided nature: six seniors, five juniors, and four sophomores. The "A" Club is to choose the six seniors, looking toward choosing men who are outstanding as far as agressiveness and school spirit are concerned. Then these six men will in turn select the juniors, and they the sophomores. No two members of a fraternity may be in a class group. That is, in the senior group of six there shall be no two men belonging to the same social fraternity. The club is to be perpetual in nature, the retiring members making the selection of members, as is the case in nearly all campus organizations. At the end of the year the seniors shall use their discretion in deciding whether or not a sophomore shall advance to junior membership or junior to senior. This provision gives the club the power to weed out men who are not in accord with the activities of the organization. Members of the club are to be recognized by a key and a blue and orange pep hat. In our minds there is much that can be done with such an organization. It could assist in organizing the freshman cheering and in conducting organized freshman pep activities. It could greatly aid in the current rat cap situation and eould aid the pep manager and cheerleaders in carrying out pep rallies. Balloting Monday will take place at the Main Gate, and the ballot wil have on it a statement of the purposes and organization of the proposed Tiger Cub and the question: "Are you in favor of the formation of a Tiger Club as outlined above?" The "You Be The Editor" section of the ballot will enable Plainsman readers to give criticisms and suggestions on all features of the paper. The ballot will read something like this: (Please check in proper space—1. Always 2. Occasionally 3. Never.)

THE GREAT STRENGTH OF the Deal family, whence springs Rufus, freshman guard, is hinted at by this most accurate tale: One day, on being in a state of slight irritation, Rufus' brother, Dwight, with bare foot, kay-oed a mule; whereupon Rufus toted the mule up to the barn, laid it in a wagon, and pulled the wagon into town to the veterinarian. All of which—and more— leads us to predict for Rufus Deal a not unbright future as a full-fledged Tiger. * * » 776. THIS COLUMN (UNDER A DIFFERENT NAME) has alluded before to Dale Carnegie. We take this opportunity merely to disagree with (not to offend) Martin Wender, whose letter commending Mr. Carnegie to the college officials appeared in last Tuesday's Plainsman. We do not believe that Carnegie has any place on an Auburn schedule of entertainment. We believe that the American political and economic systems are kept in the air by too much super-salesmanship already. Furthermore, whenever we read some lines from Dale Carnegie we think of an aging phrase: "No matter how thin you slice it, it's still baloney." « « • 725. A SURPLUS OF COLD BISCUITS for supper is apt to make us ill tempered, so we disagree with "Centurion" who also wrote to the Editor on Tuesday last. It is our opinion that if the Tiger showed Hedy Lamarr in "Ecstasy" there still would be a bunch of fellows who have that itehy thing in their feet—no, not that—we meant to say, wanderlust. It is practically the same thing that makes girls leave home. ALABAMA AND HER PROBLEMS Own Your Textbooks "Own your own textbooks" would be a good slogan for Auburn students. A student cannot do himself justice if he does not. He seriously decreases his chances of passing if he depends upon borrowed books for his study. Everyone knows of cases where three and four students are using the same text. It is unfair to parents who pay four and five hundred dollars for a student's education for students to court failure by not owning textbooks. The personal ownership of textbooks is good insurance and good investment. Of course, ownership does not mean mastery of the contents. But ownership will help and might save what might otherwise be a loss. Editor's Mailbox Editor The Auburn Plainsman Dear Sir: Is an Auburn team beaten after another team has scored 7 points against them? We don't think so but the CHEERLEADERS do. If you were at the game Saturday you probably noticed, after Tech scored, all the cheer leaders did was look at the game with a down-hearted look in their faces. They made no effort to lead the stands in cheers. In our section of the stands a number of cheers were started by the students and the cheer leaders offered no help whatsoever to put them over. The only help came from one of the drummers in the band. No matter where a cheer was started you soon heard the beat of the drum. We think the drummer did more for the cheering than any of the cheer leaders. We have all heard of the Auburn spirit being let down by students this year but now we think the cheer leaders let us down instead of the student body. Signed, George S. Fisher E. R. Reynolds H. McDaniel Stan McMillan George Moore By Benjamin Russell, President The Alabama State Chamber of Commerce The subject assigned to me of "Alabama and Her Problems" is one which can hardly be touched on in a brief editorial but rather one to which we might devote a year's study with great profit to ourselves and our state. The problems of Alabama and the South have recently been the subject of numerous reports, books, and studies. These problems, recently discovered by some, have long been understood by many leaders in our state but too little has been done toward their solution. If these reports and books reveal nothing new, they still may serve a purpose if by them and the resulting publicity, our own people can be spurred to a concerted effort to solve such problems. Alabama is a state rich in natural resources and advantages which are known to all, but these resources and advantages have not been utilized as they should have been. Hence the problems which confront us today. We have long been a state "rich in possibilities, but we remain comparatively poor in reality. Many Reasons For Alabama's Low Income And Buying Power There are many reasons or contributing factors for our present status of very low income and buying power. The Reconstruction Period is one most frequently mentioned, and certainly this period had its effect when we consider that it was about 1910 before the total taxable value of all property in Alabama reached what it was in 1860. The protective tariff under which the South has bought its goods in a protected market and sold its one cash crop (cotton) in an unprotected market is another factor. Unfair freight rates which have prevailed, lack of local capital, discriminatory legislation, waste of our lands, one crop system of agriculture, and many other factors could be considered as contributing to our present problems. Alabama is 72 per cent rural in population, as compared with less than 7 per cent in the New England states and a national average of 44 per cent. The significance of these figures is the fact that annual income runs much higher in those states where industrial development has afforded payroll opportunities to a larger number of the rural population than it does In Alabama. Alabama's Wealth Contrasted With Ohio's Contrast, for example, the wealth of a state like Ohio, which has many industries, with that of Alabama, which has relatively few in comparison: Ohio has 40,740 square miles. The wealth of that state is estimated at $18,489,522,000. Ohio adds annually to her wealth by manufacturing the sum of $1,576,176,000. The value of her farm property is estimated at $2,236,902,000. Alabama has 51,- 279 square miles—about 11,000 more than Ohio, which is itself equal to the size of a Nev? England state. Alabama has an estimated wealth of $3,002,000,000. And Alabama's farm property is valued at only $611,301,000. The reason for this difference in favor of Ohio does not lie in the superior ability of the Ohio farmer. It lies in the fact that while industrial workers In Ohio are piling up over 1 1-2 billion dollars annually by manufacturing, Alabama, for the lack of opportunity, is adding only a scant $151,050,000. Additional Industries Alabama's Greatest Need Development and expansion of manufacturing activities are the quickest and most effective force in stimulating permanent community growth and prosperity. A much desired balance between agriculture and industry is needed for real prosperity and increased purchasing power. Hence the Alabama State Chamber of Commerce adopted as Its slogan "Supplement Farm with Factory." Increased farm income from livestock and diversified farming can and should be sought. Cash markets fdr farm products should be developed. Our forest resources should be conserved and reforestation encouraged. Our transportation facilities developed and maintained. Our recreational facilities developed and tourist trade sought. All these tilings are important, but our greatest need is additional industries in Alabama. We must set up, from within and from without, more and more diversified industries providing employment for Alabama people, laying stress on the particular kind of industries that would take the raw material in the location where produced and process and refine it for consumer use. Alabama needs to produce more of the things it consumes and to consume more of the things it produces. Certainly no group should be more interested in development of Alabama than Alabama college students being trained for citizenship and business in an Alabama institution supported by taxes of Alabama citizens. Migration Of Tooth Sooth's Greatest Loss The greatest loss the South is suffering today is from the movement of its youth to other sections. In this loss Alabama shares. Almost one-fourth of all persons born in Alabama have gone elsewhere to live. An examination of the 1930 census discloses 311,587 persons residing in Alabama who were born in other states and 691,618 persons of Alabama birth living in other states. Thus Alabama suffered a net loss of 380,031 persons in the movement of its native citizens beyond the boundaries of the state. In this shift the rural areas lost more in proportion than the cities. In losing such a considerable percentage of our population to other sections, we are losing young blood that is sorely needed for our state's upbuilding. The vast majority of those who emigrate are the most ambitious and promising of our youth, who have been educated in our schools and colleges at the expense of taxpayers and then forced to seek opportunity elsewhere. Thus are we contributing our young people to create wealth for these other sections. This condition would bring home to all public-spirited citizens of Alabama the urgent need for further state development along all lines. To keep our talented young men and women in their native state, we must see that Alabama offers them in equal measure, equal opportunity to that which they can find elsewhere. With these things in mind Alabama business men, industrialists, and leading citizens in every field have set up the Alabama State Chamber of Commerce and more than a thousand of them have made membership investments in this organization. Alabama's problems must be solved by Alabama citizens who through cooperative effort can transform her possiblities and advantages into realities, wealth and opportunity for "you and other Alabamians who will follow you. Before Tomorrow By John Godbold LAST YEAR, December 10, to be exact, there appeared in the Column "News and Views" by the same author a brief paragraph entitled "The 1937 Psalm." Since that paragraph was written a lot of water has passed under the bridge. President Roosevelt has done some things, which, perhaps, he should not have done. He has made statements which were better left unsaid. Be these things as they may, the words of that "1937 Psalm" are, to us, as true today as when they were written almost a year ago. At the request of several readers we repeat, "The Psalm of 19- 37." Yea a time of great famine and want fell upon the land. The people cried out in their need for they knew not whither to go and their leaders could no longer lead them. So from all corners of the land the people cast their ballots for a leader, yea, they cast them till verily the land did slide, and they said unto their new leader, "Save us for we know not whither to go." Wherefore, he led them from the paths of destruction and suffering. But when he had guided them out of their wilderness they turned upon him and cast stones at him, saying, "Thou squandered too many of our shekels in saving us. Thou should have saved us without spending any of our substance. Surely we will not repay." Each man whispered to his representative in the court, "Surely this unworthy man might have saved us without wasting our gold and silver. You must not make us repay." And the courtesans gave heed, but all over the land the wise raen smiled at the foolhardiness of the people. * * * Thanks to John Ivey who served as an excellent pinch-hitter in turning out the Tuesday's edition of this column. * * * IN A GEORGIA TOWN the sheriff has had to lock the door of the jail to keep a prisoner out. Not long ago an itinerant preacher was jailed there for disturbing the peace with a loud-speaker system on his automobile. Immediately, controvery began raging throughout the town as to whether or not the preacher should have been arrested. In order ito stop the quarrels the sheriff offered the prisoner his freedom, but the culprit refused to leave the jail. The officer ordered him to leave, but the prisoner's response was to go on an "I won't eat" strike. There in jail the fellow languished until the sheriff lured him outside of the building on a pretext and then locked the doors so he couldn't get back in. * * * AT CAYCE, in the southwestern tip of Kentucky, last week Senator Barkley unveiled a stone marker to John Luther Jones, the Illinois Central engineer who was killed near Vaughn, Miss., April 30, 1900, when his crack cannon-ball train of twelve cars crashed into a standing freight. Jones stayed in his cab to save his passengers and died. He told the negro fireman to jump. That fireman, Sim Webb, was in Cayce to recall the famous order attributed to Jones: Jump, Sim, jump; There's two locomotives A-going to bump. The ballad, said to have been begun by two negro engine wipers in a round house and still the subject of addition and variation, has almost made Casey legendary.

Pitt, Notre Dame Tops In Football Sturdy Pitt and Notre Dame remained at the top of football's great during one of the wildest week-ends of upsets since Rutgers and Princeton started the game back in 1869. Those upsets were reflected by the lowest Williamson efficiency on a mid-season week since it began rating football teams. The System made an over-all efficiency of 85.2 per cent on 307 games, including late scores from the week before. The week's record on 307 games included 36 decided upsets, 11 unexpected ties, 11 anticipated ties and 27 upsets which were not violently opposed to the rating. The System correctly predicted half of the week's tie games. By losing to a strong Georgia Tech eleven, the Auburn Tigers dropped down in Williamson's rating for this week. The Plainsmen were ranked no. 30 among the teams of the nation. Following is a list of the first 15 teams ranked by Williamson: 1. Pitt 2. Notre Dame 3. Santa Clara 4. T. C. U. 5. Tennessee 6. Fordham 7. Oklahoma 8. California 9. Duke 10. Ole Miss 11. L. S. U. 12. Dartmouth 13. Minnesota 14. Clemson 15. Vanderbilt. NOTICE The team returns Sunday night on the 7:55 train from the Rice game.

BURTON'S BOOKSTORE Something New Every Day Vols In Complete Control Of Conference Football After Last Week's Play The Tennessee Volunteers, a-lone in the undefeated and untied ranks, moved into complete command of the battle-scarred football forces of the Southeastern Conference after last week's play. Victorious in five games and leading the conference championship race with three triumphs, Tennessee had survived the gruelling early season campaign, which last Saturday saw Vanderbilt and Georgia toppled from the select group possessing unmarred records. There are eight games on the program for this week-end in the league, with the Tennessee-L. S. U. engagement topping the list. The game is to be played in Knox-ville. The intersectional contest be tween Auburn and Rice, to be played in Houston, promises to be a bang-up affair, with ithe Bengals out to seek revenge for last year's defeat. Two other intersectional duel are on the slate, Mississippi, go ing to Washington for an engage ment with George Washington, and Florida invading Boston for a combat with Boston College. The Crimson Tide should have little trouble in subduing the Kentucky Wildcats in Lexington, and Sewannee will have her hands full with Tennessee Tech. Another headline scrap is the battle between Georgia Tech and Vanderbilt, which is to take place in Nashville. And the fracas between Tulane and Mississippi State in New Orleans will be a formidable affair, with the Green Wave ruling the favorite.

The final score was 13 to 13. As ties must be played off, the two teams will meet soon to determine the winner. In the event the PiKA's win, these teams must clash' again for the championship of League I. In League II, the Sigma Nu's scored in the second period yesterday and added the extra point to defeat the Phi Delta Theta's 7 to 0. This victory cinched the crown for the Sigma Nu's, who finished with a record of four wins in as many games. The Kappa Sig's whipped .the Theta Kappa Nu's 46 to 0 t6 in crease their lead in League III. A victory in the coming game with the Theta Chi's will give them four straight wins and first place in the league. The KA's and the Ox boys are very much in the race, and if the Kappa Sig's are beaten, these teams will be in a three-way tie. The SPE bunch has annexed the crown in League IV with four victories and no defeats. In the independent division Thach has gained first place in League I with three wins in as many starts. Wittel, with victories in the first two games, leads League II. Wittel is to face the Dudley team as soon as a date can be arranged. League III has been a little slow in getting underway, and at present the Carr Hall bunch, winners of the first game, leads this league. Rew's Wildcats, with two wins and no set-backs, are trying to get a straight hold on the first place in League IV. In the recent intercollegiate tilt between the ATO's of Auburn and Emory, the Emory boys emerged at the paying end of a 13 to 0 score. Emory students said this was their first intercollegiate football game in years.

LEE COMPANY WORN BY MILLIONS SOLD BY SAMMY'S Russell, Kelly, McGowen Are Outstanding In Play For Auburn Team By Boots Stratford Georgia Tech was a well-directed and well-coached team Saturday in Atlanta, and they won a tough ball game because of this factor, defeating the Auburn Tigers, 7 to 6. Hawk Cavette deserves high praise because of his magnificient kicking, Billy Gibson should be lauded for his hard running, and Bobby Beers was a vital factor in Tech's victory over Auburn with his beautiful run on the opening play of the game and then of course his nicely faked touchdown pass. However, these things would have come to naught before the charge of a battling Bengal eleven but for the presence of one Howard Ector, an unspectacular fullback who calls the plays and who knows how to run a football team. Tigers Show Up Well, Too But let us look at Auburn's side of the picture. There was one break that seemed to mean the difference between a win and a loss to the Bengals, for it occur-ed just before the Yellow Jacket's touchdown toss. At that point it was fourth down and about one foot to go for a first down. Tech made a line plunge, or at least an attempt at one, for the Jacket tailback ran into a solid wall of his own players that had been straightened up by the Auburn forwards, and was downed for what was apparently a yard or so loss. Now that may sound like sour grapes, but that's the way the play looked like from the stands and that's the way it looked in the movies the night after the game. And it was definitely the turning point of the game as was proved by later events. Russell, McGowen, Kelly Good Outstanding were the achievements of Captain Bo Russell, Speck Kelly and Dick McGowen. Russell was brilliant and savage in tearing into the Jacket's interference and often times he brought down both interferer and ball carrier at one fell swoop. Getty Fairchild at center and Charlie Haynsworth at fullback both played a whale of a game, especially on defense, where they constantly made bone-jarring tackles. Diminutive Johnny Davis engineered Auburn's touchdown drive, which carried 80 yards, with McGowen supplying the drive that carried the ball down to Tech's three yard line. There the Golden Tornado held for three downs and Jack Meagher sent into the fray Charlie Haynsworth and Osmo Smith with a play to be executed. The play was a pass and it was completed for a touchdown. And thereby lies a tale, the most thrilling episode of the game. Smith took the ball from Fairchild and drifted back to about the ten, there a host of Tech linemen burst through on him and one of them attached himself fondly, albeit firmly, a-bout Osmo's neck. Osmo staggered, then starightened up and des-peratively threw the ball. Haynsworth, waiting on the two, leaned forward to make a shoe string catch, then whirled and, with a determined plunge, shot across the goal line. His teammates embraced him and pounded him on the back but their exultation was short lived for a minute later Anderson broke through to block the try for extra point, and when he dashed the flying pigskin to the ground he dashed the hopes of a gallant Auburn Tiger to the ground with it, for the game ended shortly after as Tech intercepted an Auburn pass.

The zobab-hah, or devil-wind, is a desert hurricane of savage violence. Raging across the dunes, it whips up huge clouds of sand as it travels. The force of the blast changes the terrain miraculously, piling up mountains of sand where once were valleys, completely obliterating caravan routes and even wiping out many of the pitifully few oases. This ferocious wind was Nature's greatest weapon of defense in the battle waged upon her by the a-mazing Ferdinand de Ltfsseps, the man who literally tore continents apart to create the canal that has become the jugular vein of the world. De Lesseps, who fought political and financial discouragement, who successfully withstood aittacks by hostile Arabs, who overcame the hardships of landslides, lack of water and tropical heat, found his cherished dream almost shattered by the simoon.

Throughout the entire bottling operation the bottles are not touched by hand until they are filled and capped. Every possible measure is taken to insure a completely pure drink. The plant is under the efficient management of Mr. Curtis Roberts Jr., assisted by an able staff of trained operators who know how to put the best into their nationally known product.
