VOL. LXII Z-I AUBURN, ALABAMA, TUESDAY, MARCH 14, 1939 NUMBER 48
Twenty Juniors Tapped By Military Group
THE EDITOR
SAYS
The Minutes of the Executive
Cabinet for Nov. 14, 1935, state
that President Morill "suggest­ed
that members of the Cabinet
frequent the Cabinet room as
much as possible in order that
we might appear industrious in
the eyes of the student body."
Today, Cabinet members
have abandoned even that pre­tense.
In 1935 at least the Cabi­net
pretended that it was a liv­ing
organization and tried to
hoodwink the students into think­ing
the same thing.
* * •
It is interesting to examine
the only really concrete record
that past Cabinets have left be­hind
by which the world may ap­praise
them: "The Minutes of the
Executive Cabinet of the Under­graduate
Student Association of
•the Alabama Polytechnic Insti­tute."
Which is quite a preten­tious
title for a document that
shows so many examples of child­ish
spelling, so many inaccuracies,
such political chicanery and man­euvering.
* * *
On Sept. 17, 1935
the Cabinet went to the trouble
to pass a by-law giving the Pres­ident
of the Interfraternity Coun­cil
a pass to the dances. Which, of
course was within their power.
But quite unnecessary, as this
same by-law had been passed not
just once, but twice in the past.
No Cabinet was ever exactly
aware of what its successors had
done—nor exactly cared, either.
* » *
Time and time again
the Cabinet made some change in
the by-laws and said that the new
by-law or new ruling "was at­tached."
"Report attached" or
"credentials attached" are fre­quent
phrases in the minutes. But
nothing is ever attached.
* » »
Once in a while
the Cabinet released some of its
acts and decisions to the press—
such of them as could stand the
light of public examination. One
instance that we recall is when
one Cabinet made a change in the
set-up of the Social Committee.
The changes were released to
the Plainsman and widely publi­cized.
But at the same meeting
the "Cabinet voted to withdraw
Section 3, part 9 of the Constitu­tion."
(They meant "of the by­laws.")
No mention of that action
was made in the Plainsman.
The real nigger in the woodpile
comes to light when we look at
the section repealed. Here it is:
"Candidates for office are not per­mitted
to take part in the work of
the Election Committee."
You see, elections were com­ing
up soon; some of the Cabinet
members were candidates an3
wanted to have a hand in at the
counting of the ballots.
* • •
Lack of space is all
that prevents a more thorough dis­cussion
of the faults and mistakes
of the Cabinet.
But it is easy to picks flaws and
criticize harshly. It is harder to
take constructive action to right
the wrongs.
Every student can have a part,
however, in providing for a better,
more powerful, and more efficient
Cabinet by seriously considering
and discussing the proposed
amendments to the Constitution.
The Plainsman is sure that a little
serious consideration will serve
to show that they are all well
worth voting for.
* • •
Tonight at 7:30
in the President's Office in Sam-ford
Hall there will be a meeting
of organization heads and all oth­er
students interested to discuss
the proposed amendments to the
Constitution of the Undergraduate
Student Association.
All who are interested in a non­partisan
discussion of the mea­sures
are urged to attend.

Auburn Cavaliers May Now
Be Heard Over Station WRVA
The Auburn Cavaliers may now
be heard over WRVA, Richmond's
50,000 watt station, which may be
located at 1110 on your dial. This
will come as good news to the
many followers of this band who
have been trying to pick up their
broadcasts from Pensacola.
The band, under the direction
of Skeets Morris, is essentially the
same that made such a hit here at
an "A" Club dance in the fall. The
Cavaliers are broadcasting on
Tuesday and Friday nights from
10:05 till 10:30, CST, and on
Thursday from 10:30 till 11:00.

Weight-Lifters Are
Meeting on Sunday
Intra-Team Contests Begun;
Plan to Go to B'ham in May
The weight lifting team holds a
practice meet every Sunday af­ternoon.
These intra-team meets
serve as practice for the state meet
that the team plans to enter May
27 in Birmingham. The winners
of the various body weight classes
in the Birmingham meet will be
declared state champions.
In weight lifting meets the con­testants
are judged on the total
weight they lift in the three
standard lifts—the two-arm mil­itary
press, the snatch, and the
clean and jerk. In the two-arm
military press, the contestant
stands at attention with the
weight at the chest, when the
referee claps his hands the con­testant
presses the weight to arms-length
over-head without bend­ing
backward or moving his feet.
The snatch requires the contes­tant
to stand erect with the
weight resting on the floor in
front of him; at a signal from the
referee, he stoops, grasps the bar
with both hands and raises it to
arms-length over-head in one con­tinuous
motion. The feet may be
moved while executing the snatch.
In the clean and jerk, the
weight rests on the flor in front
of the contestant, just as in the
snatch; in one motion it is rais­ed
to the contestant's chest, where
it is held for two seconds, when
at a signal from the referee, the
weight is shoved to arms-length
over-head with a rapid motion.
The results of. the intra-team
meet held last Sunday are as fol­lows:
126 pound class, Fulton Mc-
Kinzie, press, 130; snatch, 125;
clean and jerk, 155; total, 410.
132 pound class, Paul D. Mc-
Cormick, press, 140; snatch, 120;
clean and jerk, 160; total, 420.
148 pound class, Sam Tiddale,
press, 135; snatch, 115; clean and
jerk, 170; total, 420;
Billy Wyatt, press, 140; snatch,
140; clean and jerk, 180; total,
460.
Charles Killingsworth, press,
150; snatch, 140; clean and jerk,
180; total, 470.
Jack Hutchinson, press, 165;
snatch, 150; clean and jerk, 200;
total, 515.
165 pound class, Jack Dand-ridge,
press, 150; snatch, 160; clean
and jerk, 190; total, 500.
Design Display
The annual exhibit of the col­legiate
schools of architecture will
be on display this week in the li­brary
of the School of Architec­ture
and Allied Arts, Prof. E.
Walter Burkhardt, announced to­day.
The theme this year is designs
and is presented by first and sec­ond
year students in the accredit­ed
colleges of architecture in the'
United States and Canada, and
one is sent to the colleges once a
year.
The object of the exhibit, Prof.
Burkhardt said, is to familiarize
the faculties and students of the
schools as to the progress that is
made in architectual education.
Different colleges apply various
approaches in the teaching of de­sign.
Some start with making
models while others begin with
residential, interior designs, and
small buildings that are non-res­idential
in type, and still others
teach the classical orders of ar­chitecture.
Auburn's exhibit this year is
composed mainly of small build­ings
and study of the classical or­der.
This college is one of the four
accredited architectural schools in
the south. Others are located at
Georgia Tech, Tulane, and the
University of Texas.

API Textiles Hear
Labor Relations
Talks at Tech
Students and Professors Are
Guests at Meeting of
Georgia Mill Executives
A number of Auburn textile
students and professors attended
a meeting at Georgia Tech Satur­day
as guests of the Georgia Tex­tile
Operating Executives' Asso­ciation.
More than 1,000 mill exe­cutives
gathered from Georgia and
surrounding states to talk of the
relationship of the boss and his
worker.
This meeting was unique in
that it was the first one in a num­ber
of years to turn from a dis­cussion
of technical problems,
profits, and production methods
to a consideration of human rela­tionships
in running a textile mill.
Textile students from Auburn
attending the meeting included:
Curty Farley, Nolan Helms, C.
W. McGowin, Fletcher Horn, Wal­ter
Meadors, Frank Perdue T. J.
Jackson, Paul McKinney, K. B.
Smith, and Kenneth Orr. Profes­sors
present at the meeting were
Dean J. E. Hannum, assistant
Dean of Engineering; Prof E. W.
Camp, Head of Textile Depart­ment;
Prof. B. H. Crawford and
Prof. M. P. Fox of Textile Depart­ment.
The meeting was opened by
Thomas H. Quigley, professor of
industrial education at Georgia
Tech, who presided as chairman
of the meeting. He introduced as
first speaker Grady Bradshaw of
West Point, Boy Scout executive
who very ably presented the need
for human relationship in run­ning
a textile mill.
This speaker was followed by
Dr. Karl Reiland, a rector of a
prominent New York Episcopal
church, and now a resident of
Lindale, Ga. He is widely known
as a speaker on the human prob­lems
in industry. In part, he re­marked
as follows:
"I believe that if the textile
operators in the past had shown
a little consideration, a little un­derstanding,
a little milk of hu­man
kindness, a little humanity
toward the folks who work for
them, that we would not have in­herited
all the difficulties that
cluster about the whole labor un­ion
situation today. I don't believe
that all a man wants is more
money and shorter hours. I be­lieve
he wants as well a sort of
feeling that the employer is in­terested
in him and in his family
and their welfare."
The third speaker on the prog­ram
was Sherman Rogers of New
York one-time magazine editor,
and now a lecturer. He told the
group that 84 per cent of the na­tion
income went to wages and
salaries.

Former Auburn Athlete
Injured by Spider Bite
Norman Whitten, Auburn athlete
and 1938 graduate, underwent n
operation for a leg infection yes­terday
in a New Braunfels, Texas,
hospital, Associate Press dis­patches
said today.
Whitten coached football the
past season at the Macon County
High School, Notasulga, and left
recently to join the Philadelphia
Phillies of the National League as
a candidate for catcher on the
baseball team for the summer.
The operation grew out of a bite
from a spider, physicians said,
about five days ago but Whitten
did not report the bite until his
knee becamed inflamed.
His knee is badly swollen, hospi­tal
attaches said.

Debaters Garner
Victories on Trip
Teams Win Decision Meets,
Are Superior in Others
Two Auburn debate teams re­turned
home Sunday after a
week's tour on which they won
all of their decision contests and
were decisively superior in three
of their no-decision debates.
John Ivey Jr. and John God-bold,
both of Auburn, composed
one team, while George Hiller of
Jasper, and Byrd Marshall of
Newville, composed the other.
Monday afternoon Ivey and
Godfeold faced the University of
Georgia in a no-decision debate
which was undoubtedly Auburn's
all the way.
Tuesday saw Auburn win two
decisions. In the afternoon Hiller
and Marshall won a decisive vic­tory
over Wofford. In the evening
Godibold and Ivey downed the
Grand Eastern Champions from
Furman University. Although
Louise Bailey, Grand Eastern
Champion Orator for 1»38, was a
member of the Furman team, God-bold
received almost unanimous
audience vote as the best speaker
of the evening.
Hiller and Marshall debated
Winthrop at Rock Hill, S. C, on
Wednesday night in one of the
closest debates of the trip. It was
a no-decision contest and was a
toss-up throughout.
Thursday night Ivey and God-bold
faced Georgia Tech. Although
there was no decision, it was a
definite win for Auburn.
Ivey and Godbold faced Brenau
on Friday night. There was no de­cision
and the contest was very
close, but if either side held an
edge over the other it was Au­burn.
The last debate was at Georgia
State College for Women on Sat­urday,
when Hiller and Godbold
joined forces against a girls' team
which was quite troublesome, but
the contest was a decided win for
Auburn.
Prof. E. D. Hess, debate coach
and advisor to the Debate Coun­cil,
accompanied the two teams.

Staff Comment
This unsolicited and anonymous bit of
comment, signed "Staff Member"' was on
the Editor's desk yesterday morning when
we came to work. All we can say is that it
is interesting to know what our staff thinks
of us.
I hate editors. Editors are flinty-hearted,
narrow-minded automatons who say write
this and that, and then when you write it they
look at it with a nasty sneer, and either make^
rude comments of just grunt.
When you would rather be doing other
things, editors tell you your story isn't in yet,
or you have to write a column, or they in­quire,
with polite sarcasm, if you think you
are writing for a monthly magazine.
All those nights, for instance, that I want­ed
to go to the pep rallies. I walked through
the campus, and it was full of life and noise
and movement. Everyone was shouting at peo­ple,
and there was a warm current of excite­ment
in the air. Big doings tonight, I thought.
And I was glad that I was a student, and that
students do foolish things like having rallies
and noise parades and bonfires.
I went over to the office. I shouldn't have
done it, but I did. I bounced happily into the
editor's office. I'm going down to the rally, I
said, isn't it fun.
But the editor was unenthusiastic, grim
even. I haven't seen your column tonight yet,
he remarked coldly. Well, I hadn't written it,
and there I was, without anything to do but
sit down to whip it out.
While I wrote, I could hear the parade
igoing on—without me. The air was full of the
sound of horns and noise-makers, and when
I stepped outside I could see cars streaking
downtown full of excited students having fun.
Here it was, the biggest one in years—and
besides, I love noise and parades.
Maybe is isn't worth it. Maybe today when
you read this you'll think I should have gone
to the rally.
But the editor didn't think so. He thought I
should stay here and turn out something, even
if it was drivel. So here I stayed, but I was
bursting with good old Auburn spirit, and my
heart was with the rallyers.
But the editor doesn't feel that way—he
has no heart.
could not be located by sound or sight, and
no taxi phone rang incessantly.
Then all of this was changed. Someone de­cided
that Auburn would make a fine col­lege
town and erected a few buildings. Stu­dents
poured in from all over the state. Since
that day quiet has been unknown in Au­burn.
No quiet, just noise.
Noisy Auburn
It was quiet on a Saturday night in Au­burn.
That in itself was enough to get out an
extra about, but no reporters were around.
It was quiet, just quiet, no noise. There were
no loud cries, nobody was shot, and not even
a dog barked. There was no sound of thun­der
in the distance; the train did not whis­tle
as it passed.
No noise, not even the Knights were here
to swing out with the brass section standing
up and blasting. No student voices were
raised in song at the Windmill, and there
was no noise coming from the next night
spot.
No cheerleaders yelled Wareagle; no fresh­man
spelled API. Benson's did not emit
sounds of the Andrews Sisters giving "Hold
Tight." Quiet, no noise. The College Inn
College Frivolity
"Gone are the frivolous Betty Co-ed and
Joe College of yesterday; today's college
students are serious and talk intelligently
about contemporary affairs."—News Item.
"Why, Dot, didn't I see you writing notes
to Pat? But that's so childish!"
"I was going to stop as soon as the teacher
started lecturing, of course. Besides, we
were writing about contemporary art."
"Isn't it interesting? You know, I was
talking to Mother about Elizabethan Litera­ture
and she said she didn't know much
about it because when she was in college
they used to skip classes a lot. I think she
said they called it taking slices, or cuts, or
something. Isn't that quaint?"
"It sure is."
"Shhhh, here comes the teacher. He's fif­teen
minutes late; I was afraid he wouldn't
come."
* * *
"Hi, Butch."
"Why, hello, Jack. I haven't seen you late­ly.
You weren't at the Alpha Gugga Theta
dance, were you?"
"No, I was busy listening to Senator
Green's speech. It was swell."
"I wanted to hear that—but you know I
had to go to one of those childish parties."
"Yea, I know. Well, come on with me, I'm
going over to one of the sorority houses to
see a couple cute girls."
"Sorry, I'm going to the library and read
the New York Times."
"Gosh, I'd almost forgotten! I haven't read
the National Whirlpool for today. Guess I'll
go with you."
* * *
"Dear Diary:
"Oh, I'm so excited! I was coming out of
Langdon Hall this morning thinking about
that new adorable ad valorem tax that's up
before the legislature, and who should I run
into but Jack Black. He's that marvelous,
marvelous boy that everybody's wild about
because he knows so much about the Near
East Situation. And oh, Diary dear, he was
SO nice. Wouldn't it be wonderful if he
would ask me for a date, because Nancy says
he can discuss labor problems SO intelligent­ly

The Boys Who Cry Wolf
If the American Student Union is really a
representative union of American students,
then we beg to secede.
Of all the crackpot, propagandistic hooey
we've even seen in our lives, the purported
"news releases" of that august body disgust
us most.
The past two weeks provided the "union"
with its prize lulu.
Through its national office in New York
City, it designated' Friday, February 24, as
a day for a national student protest of the
U. S. Arms Embargo on Spain. The idea was
for students in America to get together on
that, day and send letters to congressmen,
make fiery speeches against the horrible bar­barities
being practiced by the Spanish In­surgents,
and get generally worked up over
the plight of Loyalist Spain—oh, yes, and to
raise money for the "American Student Com­petition."
Here were some of the startling pleas,
some of the insidious catch phrases used by
the Union's propagandists to stir up feeling
for this big protest against the embargo:
"Students Ask Where Is the Conscience of
America?"
"America's Fate Depends on Spain."
"From Spain's Valley Forge—Forward to
Liberty!"
The Neutrality Act was set up to protect
the youth of America from entanglement in
foreign wars by eliminating as much as
possible the participation of American capi­tal
in those wars.
And yet this American Student Union,
which claims peace for a goal, attempts to
stir up collegians against the very acts
which are designed to keep us from being
another war generation.
Note to the American Student Union: We
are reserving a special corner in our waste
basket for any more drooling drivel you may
care to send us in the form of "news re­leases."
—The Reflector of Ole Miss
By John Ivey Jr.
For the past few years the
strength of student government on
the Auburn campus has been
slowly, but quite surely, failing.
This statement is made after many
hours of careful study of the old
minutes of the Executive Cabinet,
and is made without reflection or
reference to any individual or
groups of individuals.
Due to the lack of proper pub­licity,
a slip-shod method of
amending the constitution, and a
lack of centralization of mem­bership,
the Executive Cabi­net
has, under its own leg­islation,
allowed the power of
real student government to slip
from its hand. At present there
are many activities sponsored and
carried on by other organizations
on this campus which should be
duties of the Cabinet . . . but that
organization has either failed to
take proper interest in such af­fairs,
or has allowed other groups
to exhibit a more progressive and
creative spirit.
* * *
This year the Executive Cabi­net
is making an attempt to pull
itself out of a state of degenera­tion.
A new constitution is being
drawn up that will furnish the
necessary stimulus to correct many
of the existing faults. This docu­ment
is now subject to a vote of
the student body.
* * *
There are three parts to the
present group of articles which we
wrongfully call the constitution.
The section rightfully called the
constitution is that part to which
amendments have been proposed.
Next there comes a group of by­laws,
and last a set of- rules gov­erning
permanent committees, the
social committee, publications
committee, rat cap committee,
ring and invitation committees.
Although the first part, or con­stitution
proper, contains basic ar­ticles
for efficient government
procedure, many of the major
changes will be embodied in the
latter two sections. The work on
this material is under way, but
due to necessity of first seeing the
reaction of the student body to the
proposed amendments, some of
committee changes have not been
completed.
* » *
The situation now boils down to
the fact that the members of the
present Cabinet have done their
best toward providing a strong
government for the student body
by revising the constitution. It is
now the duty of the students
themselves to give those who will
serve on the governing group next
year the chance to put into ope­ration
a strong system under a
new set-up. To do the above, the
entire student body should feel it
the duty of every individual to
go to the ballot box March 21 and
vote for the proposed amend­ments.
* * *
In spite of many short-comings
the present Cabinet has many use­ful
and necessary duties. The man­agement
of the Student Center is
directed by the Executive Cabinet,
with the invitations, rat caps, and
eleotion committees functioning
under the same direction. The Stu­dent
Directory is published and
paid for out of Cabinet funds.
* * *
Here at Auburn we have a spirit
that takes on a new air of impor­tance
when one has the oppor­tunity
to compare it with that of
other institutions. The habit of
speaking to each other on the
street, regardless of how slight an
acquaintance we have, is in it­self
a trait that very few schools
the size of Auburn can boast. Now
that the college is rapidly expand­ing,
we should lend our every ef­fort
in the future to preserve that
spirit of good fellowship.

It is a fact that Hitler is now
expecting to meet an untimely
death before the present year is
over. Adolph is now directing the
construction of a mountain obser­vation
station from which he can
look over vast areas of Europe.
We wonder if he is still sold on
his doctrine pertaining to the exis­tence
of the individual for the
greatness of the state now that his
mind has brought forth the idea
that he, Hitler, will be the object
of some well directed murder plot.

AUBURN FOOTPRINTS
Hot things are done 'neath the Southern sun,
Bait the hottest I ever knew
Was the Tuesday noon in the second platoon
The artillery passed in review.
The battery marched till our tongues were parched,
As we drilled on the dusty field,
They made us sweat till our shirts were wet
And our sunburned faces peeled.
It was Battery "B" of the ROTC
Of the unit in' Alabam;
'Twas a sonry crew that passed in review,
And I was the prize ham.
'Twas a sorry sight as we did "squads right,"
In our heavy OD shirt
It's not much fun when you're at '"tension"
And your shoes are beginning to hurt.
Hot things are done neath the Southern sun,
And many the tale they tell,
But the hottest for me is the ROTC
I tell you friend, it's hell.

The Gift of Grab
By Bob Anderson
From the pen of a "Clemson co­ed"
comes this poem which might
have been written on almost any
campus at about this time of the
year:
"Let me now be up and doing,
With a heart for any fate,
For the Military Ball is coming,
And I have to snag a date."

A clever man tells a woman he
understands her; a stupid one tries
to prove it.—"Daily Reveille."
A BMOC at Davidson recently
received a letter from a girl at
Mitchell College, in which was a
bid, a calling card, a photograph,
and a letter of explanation. It
seems that the girl, taking a cue
from a "Good Housekeeping"
story, conceived the idea of writ­ing
said BMOC to ask him to es­cort
her to a school banquet at
Mitchell. She had seen his picture
and a write-up in The Davidson-ian,
and liking his looks, decided
to ask him for the date. The pic­ture
she sent was one of herself
at the tender age of five, but she
explained that she hadn't changed
much. The gentleman politely de­clined,
pleading previous engage­ments.
The lady said:
I've never been dated.
I've never been kissed,
They said if I waited,
No man could resist,
The lure of a pure and innocent
miss,
The trouble is this,
I'm fifty!

Before Tomorrow
By John Godbold
After Munich the world hoped
that Hitler had been appeased,
that his march toward expansion
was ended. The democracies in
particular have hoped that he
would devote his attention to what
he has rather than bringing
more territory under his control.
But apparently his appetite is
unappeased. Now he has his eye
upon the autonomous Slovak pro­vinces
of Czechoslovakia. The Slo­vaks
are demanding complete in­dependence,
wanting to form a
complete nation to themselves,
and it is no secret that Hitler is
giving them support. If they gain
independence, of course, the next
step will be Germany's taking
over the new nation or at least
making an economic puppet of it.
The more powerful Hitler be­comes
the more determined he be­comes
to gain more power, and
the nearer we come to the possi­bility
that his march may be stop­ped
only by war.
* * *
Pius XII may be more than a
name—it may be a symbol.
Before the elections for a new
pope to succeed the late Pius XI,
the common opinion was that Eu-genio
Cardinal Pacelli was the
cardinal most likely to continue
the type of work which Pius XI
has carried on.
Cardinal Pacellt was selected to
be the new pope, and he has tak­en
the name of the man he is suc­ceeding.
That may well be tact­ful
notice to those countries which
persecute, rob, and murder that
the head of the Roman Catholic
Church is still someone who will
take definite action against those
policies.
* * *
When one leaves Auburn he ap­preciates
it more. In seeking con­tinuously
for betterment of what
we have, we all forget to look
around and see exactly how well
off we are.
Even Broun Hall is a mansion
compared to some college build­ings.
In fact with a few fire es­capes,
safer stairways, and im­provements
in heating it would be
better than the average building
at many schools, no matter what
John Ivey says.
Fraternities at Auburn are
stronger than most, and frater­nity
houses are infinitely better.
The average man in the fraternity
seems to be of a much higher
type.
Most of all, the Auburn spirit
is still above comparision to that
of any other school. The "Helios"
which one meets on every side
here are rare things at other col­leges,
with one or two notable ex­ceptions.
There is missing the
feeling of democracy between all
students, no matter what their
course or station.
And frankly, one even misses
the politicians. Auburn has more
politicians per capita than most
schools, and frankly one really
misses them.
* * *
Whether the next president be
a Republican or a Democrat he
may be a much younger man than
president usually ,are. In New York
and elsewhere to be exact, Thomas
E. Dewey, the battling prosecu­tor,
is being pushed as the Re­publican
candidate. Opinion
seems to be divided on whether or
not Dewey is capable. Some seem
to think that he is merely a good
showman who has been a success­ful
district attorney because he
has known how to use a few extra­legal
methods. Others think that
he has a wealth of executive
ability and a knowledge of how
to handle people of all types.
Dewey is around forty years old.
On the Democratic side of the
fence is Harry L. Hopkins, Roose­velt's
right hand man. Hopkins,
who has become famous for mak­ing
untactful speeches, is now Sec­retary
of Commerce. In the last
few weeks he has extended a glad
hand of cooperation to business
which, incidentally, business has
been a little skeptical about ac­cepting.

European nations were con­ducting
business-like campaigns

A BIG SQUEEZE
IT TAKES a lot of squeeze to put a i,ooo,-
ooo-volt x-ray equipment in a container
only four feet in diameter and seven feet
long, especially when its less-powerful pred­ecessors
required a special building 62 feet
long, 32 feet wide, and 36 feet high. But
recently, without much ado, G-E scientists
applied the necessary squeeze and com­pleted
some surprisingly compact x-ray
equipment.
Such squeezing naturally involves a few
innovations in design. So innovations were
introduced. The 11-section x-ray tube was
put inside the novel transformer, in the
space normally taken by an iron core. Gas
having an impressive-sounding name, di-chlorodifluoromethane,
was used instead of
oil as an insulating medium, 100 pounds of
this gas doing the work of six tons of con­ventional
oil.
Then the equipment was mounted in the
grounded metal container, thereby enclosing
the 1,000,000-volt circuit and eliminating
the hazard of electric shock. Looking at the
apparatus, you note a striking absence of
moving parts, for the control of the appara­tus
is essentially electrical.
The first of the new units will be installed
this spring in Memorial Hospital, New York
City, providing medical science with an­other
powerful weapon in its war on disease.
THE "HOVSt OF MAGIC"
BECOMES TWINS
THE world-famous G-E "House of
Magic" show has become twins. It had
to, for it was placed in the predicament of
having to be in two places at one time—the
New York and the San Francisco Fairs.
One twin—directed by R. L. Smallman,
Calif. Tech '32 a n d ex-Test man—is already
holding court on San Francisco's Treasure
Island, site of the Pageant of the Pacific.
The other makes its bow April 30, opening
day of the New York World's Fair. Its
director is W. A. Gluesing, Wisconsin '23,
also an ex-Test man.
The thousands of visitors to these Fairs
will see such feats of modern magic as a
voice-controlled toy train, a magic carpet,
zigzagging pictures of sound. They will see
the stroboscope, which makes it possible
to see the spokes of a whirling wheel just
as if the wheel were motionless.
However, entertaining as these demonstra­tions
are, they represent far more than mere
tricks of modern magic. They symbolize the
work in pure science that is constantly tak­ing
place in G-E research laboratories—work
which is the basis of General Electric's
contributions to the world of the future.

sistant circulation manager last
year.
The publication is released to
approximately 3,000 students liv­ing
in boarding houses, frater­nities,
dormitories, and in the city,
Steele said.
The mailing list is composed of
about 300 names in places from
Canada to Honduras. Almost ev­ery
state in the nation receives
the semi-weekly publication of the
Auburn student body.
Some of the papers are sent to
Mexico City; New York; Califor­nia;
McGill University in Mon­treal,
Canada; Mutt Morris, an
Auburn alumnus in Honduras;
New Hampshire; Oregon; the
Panama Canal Zone, and to
Washington state.
The largest circulation outside
of Auburn is in Birmingham,
with 40 papers being delivered
there twice a week. Opelika re­ceives

Fashion Chatter

Evening gowns with "tensile tops."
By the way, slip that word "ten­sile"
into your vocabulary. It sig­nifies

dresses with stretchafole bodices
worn with a "lastex" . . . like the
tops of your satin "lastex" bath­ing

A black satin bodice woven
with "lastex," to hug you firmly
from the hips up. The puff sleeves
and wafting skirts are of black
and white striped crepe scattered
with flowers. All very Victorian—
especially with those long black
gloves. Just a whisper of fashion
that may have a wide revebera-tion.
You'll look like a romantic her­oine

The purposes of Scabbard and
Blade are as follows: "To unite
in closer relationship the military
departments of American univer­sities
and colleges, to preserve and
develop the essential qualities of
good and efficient officers, to pre­pare
its members as educated men
to take a more active part and to
have a greater influence in the
military affairs of the commu­nities
in which they reside, and
above all, to spread intelligent in­formation
concerning requirements
of our country."
screen's most beautiful woman
plays the lead in "Cafe Society,"
which will be shown Wednesday
and Thursday at the Tiger Theat­er.
Her two popular co-stars in
this gay ribbing of New York's
much-publicized smart set are
Fred MacMurray and Shirley
Ross.
Miss Carroll's many fans have
a big surprise coming to them, for
"Cafe Society" casts their idol in
her first big comedy role. The ac­tress
who now portrays a super-sophisticated
and bored Manhat­tan
socialite won her first fame in
America in the dramatic "Case
Against Mrs. Ames," which was
followed by "The General Died
at Dawn," "Lloyds of London,"
and "Prisoner of Zenda.' Her most
recent film was "Blockade.'
MacMurray, too, plays an unus­ual
"role, marking a big change
from his characterization in the
recent Technicolor epic, "Men
With Wings."
