Semi-Weekly Friday THE AUBURN PLAINSMAN Hear Noted Pianist VOL. LXI Z-I AUBURN, ALABAMA, FRIDAY, FEBRUARY 18, 1938. NUMBER 40. South Is Frontier Of LJation, Says Goff [in Speech "We of the south produce raw I materials in abundant quantity, I snip them elsewhere, and have I chem returned to us at high prices. J said Dr. J. H. Golf in the key- [note statement of an address be- [fore members and .guests of Delta I., giua Pi last Tuesday evening. | Dr. Goff spoke on "The Great I South" and showed with tangible lustrations that the south is the |.real frontier of the nation. Introduced by Frank Conner, ice-president of Delta Sigma Pi, liJr. Goff began his speech by [distributing and explaining sev- ;ral maps of the southeast show-f ing spendable income by counties. Alabama's spendable income was the lowest in the area. The speak- | er pointed out that we have a | better system of inland waterways, more power, better mineral re-ources and seaports as good as -vher states, yet our income is considerably below that of our -\djacent neighbors. Georgia and Mississippi. "It is a hard thing explain," said Dr. Goff, "I have ied to break it down from many . viewpoints, but everything seems to favor us. It is almost inexplain-able." Speaking of the south as a whole, Dr. Goff said that we have all we need for a sound economy and our big problem is building u p our spendable income. He said that we have been living under an economy based on the production of raw materials, and the yield from raw materials is small as inpared to that of finished goods. He said that we have a small >;rcentage of the nation's indus- '•ies, whereas we should have large portion. We have every-hing we need to make many :ioods that we do not produce at nil. We are the greatest consumers ! oilcloth, and it is made from cotton and vegetable oils taken from this section, but there is not a single manufacturer of oilcloth in the south. The same is true of wall paper, shaving soap, muni- • i n s and numerous other con-umers' goods. "If we are to progress," says Dr. Goff, "we must put more people in possession of lands. We must reclaim eroded lands and abused timber lands, and must have existing freight barriers removed." These are the prime reasons why southern progress has been slow. - ccording to Dr. Goff. In conclusion, Dr. Goff said 'The south flings out a wide open challenge to the young folk of the country and the great opportunities of the country now lie in the outh." Huntingdon I. R. C. jroup Meet Here The Auburn chapter of the International Relations Club were hosts to the Huntingdon Chapter n Thursday evening. Eleven delegates were entertained with super at the Terrace Tea Room. Immediately following the supper i-rty a regular club meeting was held in the Student Center, with the public invited. Jean Batigne, club president, called the meeting to order and turned the program over to the president of the Huntingdon chap-ler, Miss Martha Pettus, who introduced Miss Irene Brinson Mon-oe, sponsor of the chapter, Dean L. L. Clifton, and Dr. Helen Tay- ' ( r . Each spoke briefly on world affairs. The subject for the evening was "Neutrality," with talks made on the following topics: Frances Cobb, ackground of Neutrality;" Lucy lj^num, "The Far East Crisis;" Helen Marsh, "Isolation"; Rosemary Parkman, "World Coopera- •:on." In addition to the already men- :oned speakers, the following del-gates a. so were present: Frances Sullivan, Jessie Sue Byrnum and Louise May. The president of the Huntingdon chapter extended an invitation to the Auburn Club to present a program in Montgomery later in the spring. Noted Pianist During a three-day visit here, Julian DeGray, talented pianist and teacher of Bennington College, will appear in a concert and numerous informal confer, ences with students interested in music. He has an unusually large repertoire and will be prepared to play request number in the informal conferences. Speaker On Chinese Cults Conies Here James Henry White, noted'student of Chinese culture, will speak in Langdon Hall Tuesday night on the "Highlights of Chinese Civilization," using colored slides to illustrate his lecture. On display Tuesday in the Architecture Library will be a collection of 60 beautiful "camera paintings" of Chinese art and architecture mounted in hand-carved frames. These views were selected from 4000 photographs taken by Mr. White and his brother Herbert Clarence White during 8 years in China and carefully painted by skillful Chinese artists. The White brothers enrolled in the language school at Peking, China, in 1922. They became interested in the Chinese language and culture, and especially in the magnificent art and architecture of the country and decided to recreate it through hand-colored views for the people of the Western world. "The logical medium with which to accomplish our aim was photography," said Herbert C. White in the June, 1931, issue of Japan Magazine, "and we began the fascinating work of building up a collection of photographic studies of ours which would portray the glories of China's artistic heritage in a manner hitherto unknown. During their eight years among the Chinese, the Whites organized expeditions and made pilgrimages to practically all the great showplaces. Weeks at a time were spent roaming about old temples and fortresses and adding hundreds of photo studies to their collection. Students, faculty members, and townspeople are invited Tuesday night. There will be no admission charge. Auburn Alumni Of Talladega Entertain With Banquet The Auburn Alumni of Talladega will entertain with a banquet tonight at 8 p. m. in Talladega, honoring Auburn head coach Jack Meagher, Porter Grant, Alumni Secretary said today. Coach Meagher will be the principal speaker using as his subject "Athletics at Auburn". A series of short speeches will also be made by Dr. L. N. Duncan, Porter Grant, and Maurice Bloch, president of the Alumni Association. Pictures of the Orange Bowl game and other Auburn football games will probably be shown. Accompanying Porter Grant to Talladega will be Dr. L. N. Duncan, Coach Meagher and • Maurice Bloch of Selma who will join the party for the banquet. NOTICE There will be an important meeting of the swimming team Monday afternoon at 5:00 at the Gym. All members are expected to attend. Discussion Of World Peace Problems Is Given By Russian Lecturer Here BY J. H. WHEELER Maurice Hindus, journalist and author, told an audience of Auburn people in Langdon Hall Wednesday evening that "when war is declared between the Facist powers and France and England, the United States cannot stay out." Theme of the speaker's address was the Russian Revolution, but much of the talk dealt with possible causes and results of future wars. "If Mussolini and Hitler do not find a way to solve their internal troubles, they will go to war," he' said, "either against France and England or against Russia." "Should they attack Russia," he declared, "they would be finally exhausted in a long-drawn-out conflict. Rapid development of manufacturing has made Russia too strong for France and Germany to handle." But if attack were centered on France and England, the United States would be drawn in, he continued. Blood ties and common literary background between A-mericans and Englishmen were given as the forces which would develop war psychology in this country- were England attacked. He spoke of the Facists powers' desire for expansion and mentioned as possibilities the British Empire, and the rich agricultural lands of the Ukraine and Georgia in Russia. The new Russian military power was emphasized. "Russia does not want war, but she will fight if not left alone," he said. Already Russia has the largest standing army in the world, with 1,300,000 regulars and 10,000,000 reserves. "The Russian Revolution should have come a hundred years sooner" declared Mr. Hindus. "Modern machinery has made revolutions like wars," he explained. "Had the Russian revolution come when the Americans and French had theirs, much of its brutality could have been avoided." The speaker, brought to the campus by the new Auburn Entertainment Committee, is a naturalized American citizen, but since 1923 has spent much of his time in Russia. Most of the talk was devoted to defects and accomplishments of the Revolution which is now in its 20th year. He spoke of the new agriculture as the outstanding product of the Revolution. Huge collective farms run by scientific methods have removed inefficiencies caused by the backwardness of the peasants and are producing substantial stores of food. "In my opinion, Russia will not have another famine," he said. Emphasis was placed on the development of vast stores of natural resources in the Ural Mountains, along the Amur River in Siberia, on the shores of the White Sea beyond the Arctic circle, and elsewhere. In discussing the cotton production in Central Asia by irrigation, he said that the Russians formerly bought large quantities of American cotton, today they do not buy a bale. Elimination of the Jewish problem he considered "an outstanding creative achievement."

A., the annual Interfraternity Go-To Church contest will be held during the month of March. The trophy, a 10-inch loving cup, to be presented to the fraternity having the largest percentage attendance at any of the Auburn Churches during the four consecutive Sundays of March, will be secured at an early date and be placed on display in a downtown store window. Much interest has been shown in years past, and it is hoped.that this contest will prove to be no exception. The Theta Chi Fraternity was winner of last year's contest. Although last year's contest extended over two month's duration, the contest this year will last only one month. All fraternities are eligible to compete. A table with an attending "Y" member will be stationed at the entrance of each Auburn Church for the morning service. All members and pledges attending services will check their names on lists as they enter. A strictly percentage basis of the number present of the number enrolled in the chapter of each fraternity will be in effect. A comparative rating of the fraternities will be tabulated each week an dthe results announced in the Friday issue of the Plainsman. The contest will be in effect for the Sundays of 6, 13, 20, and 27th of March. Chapter presidents will be provided at an early date with rules and full particulars governing the contest. Further inquiry concerning the contest should be addressed to Clyde Jones or Arthur Cooper, president and vice-president respectively of the "Y". Winners Of Theta Upsilon Cake Will Be Notified The drawing for the Theta Upsilon cake will be Wednesday night, February 23. The lucky winner of the large three layer devil foods cake will be notified immediately after the drawing. If you have not bought a chance on this cake then buy one now, before it is too late. Ain't the Plainsman fine? Another competitive activity for the sororities of the campus will be provided for by the Y. W. C. A. in the form of a Sorority Go-To- Church Contest. Ann Moon, Y. W. C. A. president announces that the contest will be sponsored, carried out, and the cup donated by the members of the Y. W. C. A. The cup to be awarded the winner will be secured at an early date and placed on display. A Sorority Go-To-Church Contest is a new activity on the campus, but indications are that it will be a huge success. The content will take place throughout the same period of time as the Fraternity Go-To- Church Contest. For the four Sundays in March sororities will vie with one another for the lead which at the end of the fourth Sunday will determine the winner. The contest will be on a percentage basis. Ratings will be weekly tabulated and announced. Sorority members and pledges Will check their attendance at the entrance of any Ayburn Church as they attend a morning service. The Y. W. C. A. Sorority contest and the Y. M. C. A. Fraternity contest will be run independent of each other, though both shall take place at the same time, the same rules shall be in force for both, and the cups will be donated by the Y. W. C. A. and the Y. M. C. A. for the winners of the Sorority contest and the Fraternity contest respectively. Cavaliers Piny At Pickwick Club In B'ham Tonight The Auburn Cavaliers, popular campus orchestra, left this afternoon for Birmingham where they will furnish the music for a dance at the Pickwick Club tonight. Saturday night the orchestra will journey to Columbus where they will entertain Georgia dancers at the Welfare League Ball. The Cavaliers will make the trips in their trailer and will return to this campus Sunday. The orchestra is under the administration of Jimmie Hooper, business manager, and Bruce Kelly, director. It is a true Aristocrat. PROSCAR MBXUMLEV Important developments in veterinary medicine will be discussed by Dr. Oscar V.

A. and other collected persons in Langdon Hall on Thursday evening. Mr. Derring was one of the most masterful informal speakers ever heard. At the outset of his speech, he admitted that he had no previous idea on intentions of what he was to say; yet he talked for thirty minutes in a most pleasant and entertaining manner. Devoid of eyesight since youth, Mr. Derring has learned to feel the presence of an audience. All who heard Mr. Derring were of the opinion that he, indeed, possessed a remarkable personality. Having a mild-mannered voice and using few gestures, he presented a countenance that held rapt attention. Mr. Derring is the fourth speaker to be brought to the campus to speak to the Y. M. C. A. and others interested. Previous speakers were Mr. Bill McKee, Mr. Inzer and Mr. V. M. Hardwick. Non-Residents Are To Take Classes Five special. Saturday classes, with more than 50 members, were organized at the college last Saturday to provide work during the semester for non-resident students who drive to Auburn once a week for classes. Saturday was the last official registration day for this special work. Classes organized were Curriculum Studies, Dr. Paul Irvine; Philosophy of Education, Dr. Zebulon Judd; American Literature, Dr. L. G. Gosser; Southern Literature; Prof Henry W. Adams; and Alabama History, Prof. Charles F. Davis. Normally about 50 students enroll in these Saturday classes, which are offered every semester. The students, mostly teachers, drive from 10 to 50 miles each Saturday, the classes meeting for three hours at a time. Each student is allowed to enroll in two classes. By taking Saturday classes at Auburn, a teacher may complete 12 hours of credit during the school year. Debate Team Goes On Tour Of Four States Soon Auburn debaters begin their active intercollegiate campaign next week when two teams will take a week's tour through Georgia, Alabama, Tennessee, and Kentucky. This trip will be the first of several which are expected to be made this year, marking Auburn's best debate prospects in several seasons. Debating as one team will be Bernard Sykes and Larry Caruth. ers. Sykes is a sophomore in Pre- Law and a member of the Phi Delta Theta fraternity. Caruthers is a sophomore in Pre-Law and a member of the Sigma Chi fraternity. These two will uphold the affirmative and the negative of the question, "Resolved: That the Southern states should adopt a system of unicameral legislatures." The other team will be composed of George Hiller and A. C. Allen. Hiller is a sophomore in Pharmacy and a member of the Pi Kappa Phi fraternity. Allen is a' sophomore in Ag. Ed. Both of these debaters had extensive experience as freshmen, Allen being the recipient of one of the two Tau Kappa Alpha cups awarded to the winning team in the freshman Tau Kappa Alpha debate tournament. This team will uphold the affirmative and the negative of the question, "Resolved: That the National Labor Relations Board should be empowered to enforce arbitration in all industrial disputes." The iternary for the tour is as follows: Monday, February 21, Emory University in Atlanta, Ga.; Tuesday, University of Chattanoo-go, Chattanooga, Tenn.; Wednesday, University of Tennessee in Knoxville and Maryville College in Maryville, Tenn.; Thursday, Berea College in Berea, Kentucky; Friday, Murfreesboro State Teach- . ers College at Murfreesboro, Tenn., Saturday, Birmingham-Southern in Birmingham. Plans for other debate tours and the schedule of home debates for Auburn teams have not yet been released by the Debate Council but will probably be made public in a few weeks. Nazi Germany Is Shown In Film Dramatically revealing the spectacular growth in the United States of the German-American Bund, Nazi-in-spired organization, which today claims a membership of 200,000 the editors of March Of Time bring to the screen of the Tiger Theatre "Inside Nazi Germany—1938" an exclusive motion picture of international significance. Leader or Fuehrer of the German- American Bund is Fritz Ku-hn, former German machine-gunner, who from his headquarters in the Yorkville section of New York City, superintends the widespread national organization of U. S. Germans who have developed nearly eighty centers of activity in a short time. They have established under Kuhn's leadership, at least twenty-five summer camps and drill grounds. March Of Time shows them in brown shirts and Nazi regalia marching and exercising under the swastika flag. To extend their activities to untouched sections of the country and more effectively to spread the doctrines of Adolf Hitler, the Kuhn organization recently purchased 178 acres of Southberry, Connecticut, as a site for another Nazi camp. Usually unaffected by the direct impact of world events, the townsfolk waxed indignant at this attempted inroad by the German- American Bund. To the little New England town March of Time brought its cameras and recorded an exciting town-meeting which aroused citizens called to prevent the organization of a Nazi quarters. Too large for the ordinary meeting place, the hundreds of men and women went over to the larger quarters of the Congregational Church. From the hills came farmers and their sons who come (Continued on page four) PAGE TWO Plainsman Editorials LANGDON HALL WOULD RETIRE ON PENSION AT EARLY DATE There is a pressing need for modern auditorium facilities here at Auburn. Mellow with tradition and history, Langdon Hall stands an old man in the midst of a new generation and finds itself unable to meet the demands of the modern world. The seats in the historic old hall have borne up bravely under the shock of countless mass meetings. They have patiently undergone the punishment offered by rau-cuous children. The struggle to bear up under the strain is fast becoming too much for their ebbing strength and they are crying out for retirement. They should be retired. Brought up two generations ago, the stage fell into the current thought channel of being narrow. Years of asosciation with the college students have caused it to stretch as much as possible, but, too many generations behind, it has no chance to expand to cope with the modern activities. It should be retired. The walls themselves, tired of guarding the sound of any speeches, are relaxing their vigilance. Saturated with stores of knowledge, thousands of cheers, and countless performances, they can no longer absorb the activities that take place within them. Acoustical expert walls are pressing them for their job and, reluctantly, they tender their resignation. They should be retired. Advertisements should be placed in the classified columns of the newspapers stating, "Auditorium Wanted, apply at A. P. I." The qualifications for the job should be that the successful applicant have a large stage, comfortable seats for 3000, modern acoustical construction, a floor sloping toward the front, and all modern auditorium advantages. When the applicant is found, Langdon Hall should be retired and pensioned immediately. The Plainsman writing contest is going into the last stages. Due to the fact that most literary matter takes much time for its preparation when the time for inspiration and writing is considered the time length of the contest stretched over quite a long period seemingly. However, all contests of such nature usually last quite longer. It is hoped that quite a larger number of manuscripts will be submitted than are on hand at the present. This contest is considered a definite move of progression, hence the wish for the wholesale enlistment of the cooperation of the writing section of the student body.

THIS "OUTLINE" WORLD STILL WOULD LIKE TO READ A BOOK Not long ago a student for another college wrote a letter to this paper, in which he advocated a nation-wide campaign on the part of students for the purpose of establishing the use of "outlines" rather than textbooks in classes. We are not in accord with the growing movement in America to convert not only the students, but also the general public to the idea that Americans do not have time to read books. We find this idea expressed in many ways, partly to win support for a crop of "picture" magazines and "digests" and partly to make the newsboy the central figure in our education. We must do our reading on the run. At least that is what we are told. There is a place for "picture" magazines and "digests" or they would not be so popular. Our belief is that there is also a place for books, undigested and unabridged in any form—books to be read at leisure. We admit that this is a hectic world, but mere mechanical haste does not mean that we are going anywhere in particular. There are times when we can get an intellectual "lift" from a paragraph or a single epigram or proverb; but there are other times, when our minds are relaxed, when we wish the solid satisfactoin that comes from more lengthy communion with our favorite authors—the kind of satisfaction we get out of reading all of Dickens, all of Thackery and all of Shakespeare. Skimming the surface of things may keep us reasonably well informed, but it does not give us the satisfaction nor the power that we obtain from real solid reading. All this is just another way of saying that there are no short cuts to learning. There is no substitution for leisurely reading. We hold that any propaganda aimed at influencing the public not to read books is false propaganda. Any lessening of the esteem due good books or any attempt to persuade others to lose the esteem they hold is false reasoning and harmful reasoning. "AFTER CLASS SMOKES" HOLD SOME SORT OF PLACE HERE We take it that there is a kind release from uncomfortable shackles to light a cigarette or a pipe the moment the bell rings which signifies the end of a class session. At least, one would get the idea that most students have that feeling judging from the consistent enthusiasm employed in the practice. One might have it that this is only symbolic of the attitude of defiance which one is able to demonstrate in the face of the professor who reigns mighty during the class session but who loses all power of exercising control and paternalistic respect when his charges are released. Possibly it is only a reflex that has its expression in the fact that there is something definitely stimulating in the debaunch of nicotine. If the immediately foregoing be the case, the matter of attitude hardly enters into the matter, just a matter of habit which has no especially good or bad aspects. However, it all goes to prove the point that the human demands certain types and amounts of sedatives for any kind of participation. Unless these sedatives are present and used, the human hesitates, sometimes balks, at work. There was once the innovation of an institution which has become known as Discipline. It has been offered for various problems. But all the while the human has been resentful of most any such encroachment upon his rights. If a sedative is needed in this case of class participation, it is just another human characteristic having its play. "Are those leaving our colleges different from the mases, except for their interest in football tickets on the fifty yard line?" Dr. Robert G. Sproul, president of the University of California, thinks that 85 per cent of the students in junior colleges are not of college caliber and should not go on to higher education. "One rarely finds a European college student working his way through school. Even if we should get a job, it is very probable we would not get money for it. Our pay would be the valuable experience we received from the job. "Robert Forstor, foreign exchange student form Switzerland at Ohio State University, praises the initiative of American students who work their way through school. THE AUBURN PLAINSMAN PLAINSMAN FORUM Mr. Max Welden, Pres. Executive Cabinet, Alabama Polytechnic Institute, Auburn, Alabama Dear Mr. Welden: This is not addressed to you personally but rather to that which you represent—the Auburn student body. In other words, the letter has its address as much to the "any man on the street" as to any other addressable personality. The Plainsman has a section which is supposed to be devoted to opinions coming from the scope of our readers. The section was known as Letters To The Editor, but we have received very few letters, which is apparently indicative of one of two or three things. However it is not a matter of discouragement. If there be opinions to be expressed, then we can rename the section Letters From The Editor. In order to give you something to be thinking about, I will make a modest proposal. This proposal has as its preface in mind the fact that Auburn is much of that "Ideal" which was mentioned in the first editorial in the Wednesday issue, that it is a living panorama of the "Beau Ideal" of college and college life, and the very self same ideal which is in demand by the faculty and the, student body. With the "Ideal" in the foreground,- I add that with all we have, the model "Republic of Auburn College" might have its initiation. Leaving the idea for minute consideration, I further substantiate the stand which I am taking. The fact that there have been hardly any expresion of opinions about any of the components of our college life submitted to this section, there is the logical conclusion that there have been no opinion in existence in any of the minds of our Auburnites. This might easily be a wild guess, for it is quite possible that our readers consider us as undemocratic, as Bolsheviks who have no rejfard for the wellfare of our institution, that we would have noting to do with any proposal which has as its aim the betterment of that which is around us. All in all, they may think of us as an institution which has no intention of " sponsering the Auburn Spirit." We know nothing of what or what has not been thought about the "pretty pass of things here," that is, the smug somnolency which has been gaining more and more power among our Sixteen Ems BY SPACER OUTER A talented member of the Spacer Outer Club presents DID "U" KNOW THAT Evelyn Dubose has another sucker on the string?

Someone wants to know why Jane Hand-ley refuses to give Oliver Fletcher a date. A large number of entries have already been received for the Plainsman's creative writing contest and much of the material is of a surprisingly good quality. There is still ample time for anyone with literary aspirations to enter his brainchild and incidentally get a chance to win one of the cash prizes being offered. - Voice of the Students constituents. Possibly this lack of interest is the reason for the lack of opinions, the lack of action, and the dead state of things. But back to the "Republic of Auburn College" proposal, it might be considered some- - what as a likeness of a Utopian development. With the ideal set-up expressed in the afore mentioned editorial clear in mind, it is to be easily seen that we have all, or most, of the necessary constituents to begin the development of the ideal "Republic." In the first place, the cardinal point in any ideal or Utopian community is the complete satisfied state of the inmates. We have that matter well in hand, incorporated in our easy complacancy. In other words, we are completely satisfied with the set-up just as it is, any new ideas or actions- would disrupt the whole thing, hence the necessity of keeping down any new, easily termed radical, innovations which might come up from time to time. We have drank deep of the lotus. We are satisfied with that small existence of ours. Our "Auburn Spirit" does exist, though it be an anemic semblance. It has taken for granted that the "grand thing" does exist. Furthermore, it has been assumed that it is a wholesome thing which could not be replaced a whit by anything near its equal. In fact, this intangible thing is considered of such a nature that should we find it uncomfortable for activity, little trouble would be encountered in living on its tradition. Of course it all amounts to this simple fact that if there is such a thing it is a lots of nonsense which is whooped up intermittently and might justly be termed unrefined "collegiana" in its cheapest form. But if the last idea be taken, it will be a deviation from the original, that of the "Republic of Auburn College." It would be the innovation of an idea which might serve to wreck the whole set-up. Herewith, I say we have a dead thing which we are proud of, a thing which we pherish, a thing which is orth more than anything that could be derived from any sort of activity, so hy not provide the proper working conditions for it immediate success. The proposal now rests, like that which it proposes. If you think it is a good idea carry on but do it in a quiet manner so as to not disturb the "SMUG SOMNOLENCY." Yours in the acting, The Editor Talk About The Town JACK STEPPE ROBERT LEE MUNDHENK The palm for the niftiest bit of satire we have read in many a moon goes to Ye Ed for for his piece on the "Ever wide awake Auburn! The apparent apathy of a large part of the student body is the gist of the piece. This is all too true. The majority of the students in our noble institution have about as much initiative as a blind bull. If by some stroke of fate someone does hit on a progressive idea he is immediately dubbed a "crackpot," or a radical. The inability of most of us to differentiate between radicalism and pro-gressiveness is responsible for our ostrick-like attitude of keeping the facts of things' hidden while we bury our heads in the sands of our own smug complacency. If the famed Auburn spirit were applied to more aspects of our college life, we, as well as the institution itself, would reap untold benefits. Auburn has, in all probability, the most disorganized student body of any major col-college we know of. In order to accomplish anything there must be some sort of singleness of purpose, and it is in this respect that we are sadly deficient. What the remedy for this can be we won't hazard to guess, but surely a remedy can be wrought. We are also pleased to note from Wednesday's edition that the Glee Club proposes to give several concerts on the campus this spring. And then too Blue Key announces that they will once more sponsor a fraternity spring sing this year. The sing last year met with unusual success and a repetition will be more than welcome. For the first time in quite a while we get the chance to see a stage show at the Tiger. Some of them have been good and a few, more or less, have been of a lesser nature. Since this is written before we get a chance to see it and won't appear until after its over we can only guess. In all probability, however, it will probably give a bit more impetus and a few new steps to the slowly dying Big Apple. And now—having said our little piece— we will retire to topics of more or less academic interest. FRIDAY, FEBRUARY, 18,1938. News And Views BY L. E.

Advocates of the parry and thrust met Wednesday night, and the surprisingly large number of thirty were present. Plans for the year were discussed, but actual practice did not begin until last night. Six veterans are back this year and will be able to show the newcomers a few of the fine points. The following men have signed for the sport: L. C. Worthy, W. G. McDowell, Laurens Pierce, G. W. Caruthers, W. L. Ellner, F. D. Nixon, J. P. Caxton, J. L. Cortina, V. H. Johnson, Corolus M. Bloom-field, J. B. Carmichael, C. W. Cook, C. E. Harless, D. Lloyd, H. Chapman and H. S. Grundmann. Anyone who is interested in fencing should see Professor E. B. Smith immediately. Professor Smith may be found in his office on the second floor of Samford Hall any time during the day. No outside contests will be scheduled as fencing here is necessarily intra-mural at this early stage. It is hoped that in the near future it will become an inter-collegiate sport.

Ga. Tech Wins With Slight Margin For the second successive year the Bengals from the Auburn Plains failed to conquer the Georgia Tech Yellow Jackets by a one-point margin.

This match is to be followed Monday with an engagement with the Florida Gators here at Auburn. Both Tennessee and Florida have especially strong swimming teams, the latter in particular, and the Tiger splashters will have to be in top form to emerge victorious The meet with the Florida Gators will be the Plainsmen's hardest test of the year and it will be a mighty tough struggle to gain a point over the fast moving Gators. In their first meet of the season the Auburn tankmen were defeated by Georgia Tech, 42 to 35, in Atlanta. In this contest Lyons received second place in the 220 yard freestyle and a first in the 440; Smith placed third in the 220 and 440; Captain Kierstead won the 60 yard dash; Perry placed third in diving; Forbes came in second in the 100; Ousley placed second in the 100 yard backstroke; Campbell third in the backstroke; Mohns second in the breaststroke; Heathcote third in the breast-stroke, and a team composed of Paul, Ousley, Forbes and Kierstead won the 400 yard relay. In their meet the following day the Tigers were again subdued, this time by Emory in Atlanta, 49 to 26. Failing to take a single first place from the potent Emory outfit. The following are Auburn men who placed in the various events: 220—Lyons, second, Smith, third; 50—Forbes, second; diving, Perry, second, Chambers, third; 100 freestyle— Forbes, second, Kierstead, third; 100 backstroke—Ousley, second, Campbell, third; 100 breast-stroke— Mohns, second; 400 freestyle— Lyons, second, Smith, third.

Phone 70 start to finish. Tech's ability to handle the ball off the backboards was largely responsible for their slim margin of victory. Throughout the contest the dexterous Jackets relied on their towering height to gain possession of the ball under both baskets, and in this respect the Tigers were sometimes at fault. Too many times during the game the Plainsmen failed to follow up their shots, but being at such a disadvantage as they were, they put up an amazing battle against Tech, who hovered over the Bengals like giants. Neither coach substituted during the entire game, the starting fives of both clubs going the entire route. This game marked one of the most aggressive contests ever staged in the Alumni gymnasium, the score being tied an even dozen times at different stages. The game was close and spirited throughout, with Tech holding a 26 to 24 advantage at halftime, but the Tigers evened the count many times in the second half. Both outfits brought the capacity crowd to its feet every minute of the altercation, with their spectacular floor work and brilliant shooting. Malvern Morgan, Auburn's three-sport athlete, again took individual scoring honors with 19 points, giving a brilliant demonstration of masterful shooting. Crawford Holmes, who in this writer's opinion is the Tigers best all-around man, found the basket for 13 markers. Jones, forward, and Johnston, center, led the victors in scoring with 14 and 12 points respectively.

Football Captains Feted At Banquet "We have all we need for another great team next season and we will be out there fighting," said Bo Russell to Auburn alumni at the Alumni football banquet in Montgomery last week. Newly elected Captain Bo Russell and Alternate-Captain Marion Walker were called on for short speeches at the meeting, and both spoke the sentiment of the team when they said they expected another fine season "because we have the material and the determination." From a relative large group of football candidates eligible for the captaincy, these men were chosen. Russell will represent the line, and Walker the backfield. Alumni attending the big banquet in Montgomery expressed their full approval of the selections made. As the new leaders strode to the front, a loud applause went up, and an even louder one when the bashful speeches were made. Retiring Captain Lester Antley and Alternate-Captain Billy Hitchcock also made short talks and wished the new pilots the best of luck for the coming season. Antley and Hitchcock predicted that the teams would-be as strong if not stronger than last season. Baby Tigers Win Over Waverly Playing Waverly on their home court last Friday, the High School was barely able to eke out a close victory in winning 21 to 20. Waverly led throughout the game and in the closing seconds had the score supposedly cinched at 20 to 19. With less than 10 seconds to play, "Jug" Wright threw the ball into Jack Bright who attempted to shoot. The whistle ending the game blew as the ball left the hands of Bright, and in shooting Bright was hacked by an opposing player and was awarded two free throws.

Bright led in scoring with 14 points followed by Ward with 4 points; Stevens, 2 points; and Alm-quist, 1 point. A game was dropped to Nota-sulga by a close margin of 20 to 18 on Monday night. The only other game on the card of the BaT by Tigers this week is Dadeville who will be met in Dadeville tonight. The diamond, hardest of minerals, remains unmatched as an abrasive. Auburn Baskefeers Receive Defeat In Last Home Game Making their final bow on 'the home court for the current season the Auburn Tigers were again defeated by a one-point margin last Wednesday night by the Nehi Reds of Columbus, Ga., 44 to 43. Coach Ralph Jordan started the second five against the Nehi outfit and they did well, gaining much needed experience. However, Coach Jordan's charges were unable to cope with Dick Jones, professional baseball player who is owned by the St. Louis Cardinals, whose masterful shooting netted him 25 points. / It was largely through the shooting of Jones that enabled the Columbus aggregation to subdue the Bengals, and they held a 22 to 15 halftime lead.

Cooper Green, Birmingham postmaster, president of the Alabama Chapter. A cordial invitation to each of the 900 postmasters in Alabama to attend the Auburn .meeting was issued at the same time by Homer Wright, of Auburn, who, as host postmaster, is heading the committee on local arrangements. Mr. Wright said that a special parade by the Auburn Cadets at 11 a. m. on the morning of March 22, the elaborate banquet which forms the climax of the meeting that evening would be the highlights of the entertainment program.

While in the eastern metropolis he was a guest at four dinners given in his honor, and during the same period appeared in fourteen benefit performances, for which, of course, he donated his professional services. It didn't occur to O'Connor that there was anything unusual about that. In fact, there was nothing unusual, for this kindly cop of the films likes to do things for other people, and expects nothing in return. When honors do come his way he is pleased no end, but sur- | prised. O'Connor, who appears in his customary role as a bluecoat in Monograms' latest feature, "Boy of the Streets," coming Sunday to the Opelika Theatre, and starring Jackie Cooper, exudes an atmosphere of friendliness and good cheer on the screen, and the same holds true in real life. When Robert Emmett O'Connor first came to Hollywood, he didn't realize that he was joining the police department, but now he feels that he should be eligible for a pension. There has never been a police officer in any police department in the United States who has been promoted and demoted as much or as often as he has. stitute; Hon. R. J.

Hindus Speech (Continued from page one) crimination and the Jews. Though finding the transition from private business to industry and agriculture difficult, are "happier than they have ever been before." he declared. He told of visiting a collective farm village where Jewish people had become the "best farmers in Russia." Formerly small shop-keepers, these Jews have learned scientific farming in eight years which is far superior to that of the Germans in Russia. Great strides in education were pointed out. In 1914, Russia had 8,000,000 children in grammar and high schools. Today there are 38,000,000. Tuition is paid by the government; and .in addition, 85 per cent of the university students also receive their living expenses. The spread of atheism he considers another far-reaching effect of the Revolution. "There is no ban on worship in Russia," he said, "hut thie government is doing everything possible to foster atheism among the young. "Russia needs only to be left alone to develop her resources," he said in conclusion. "She is build ing factories feverishly, but it will be years before their full benefits are realized. Then when basic agricultural problems are settled, the country will be free to solve its basic political worries." The Soviet Union is working toward Democracy, Maurice Hindus, noted author and lecturer, told an audience of between 300 and 400 in Langdon Hall last night. As economic problems are solved, Mr. Hindus predicted, the dictatorship will steadily relax. Born in Russia, Mr. Hindus came to America at the age of 15. He is a graduate of Colgate and Harvard, and the author of four widelyread books. Since the World War he has spent a large part of his time in Russia, studying the effects of the Soviet Revolution. The Revolution came 100 years late, Mr. Hindus explained, and largely because of this has been more brutal and extreme than were social revolutions of other nations. However, Russia is working out its own problems, and will continue to do so successfully if left alone. Russia's chief threat now lies in possible attack by Nazi Germany in an effort to obtain the rich Ukraine Valley. Italy, Germany and Japan have an anti-Communist pact signed within the past year. In enumerating the chief effects of the Russian Revolution, the speaker mentioned the development of natural resources, the mechanization of the country, the building of a strong military machine, and the advancement of education and science. Before the War eight million Russians attended school; today thirty-eight millions are enrolled. One rerriarkable Accomplishment of the Soviet has been the establishment of the Jews an the land. Today Jews are among the most successful Russian farmers. Farming, too, has become highly 'The Awful Truth' Shows At Tiqer Getting a divprce in Hollywood isn't always as easy as it sounds. Irene Dunn got one from Cary Grant for scenes in Columbia's new comedy, "The Awful Truth," starting Sunday at the Tiger Theatre. It was an uncontested divorce, with a property settlement made in advance, yet the trial took seven days, and that didn't include the ten days required to build the courtroom. In the early days of pictures, movie couples went to a real courtroom to make scenes dealing with divorce. Now they prefer to build their own courtrooms on sound stages, where they can control the lighting, the acoustics and even the temper of the judge. The courtroom in "The Awful Truth," was modeled from a court in New Jersey, where the case is supposed to be heard. It was supervised by an ex-judge from that state, to conform to the New Jersey laws and legal procedure. Evidence was taken, and the decision made time after time, so that the cameramen could move the-cameras about and get it from all angles. It was fully a week before Director Leo McCarey finally gave his OK to the legal parting and let them take down the classic walls of the courtroom, yet the actual scene requires only a few minutes on the screen. Probably a dozen really expensive divorces could be paid for with the money required to stage and photograph these few minutes of actual picture which audiences will see; to pay the salaries of the synthetic judges, attorneys and courts attaches. But in one regard Columbia saved money. Although the courtroom had a capacity of 400, only six sleepy villagers were needed for spectators. Because that's about all the visitors in any New Jersey courtroom for an uncontested divorce of perfect strangers, with no fireowrks. And those 394 empty courtroom chairs represented a saving of $15 a day each, for seven days.

A conquest of Siberia would have been more logical than a conquest of China, but Japan dared not make war with the Soviet. While Russian standards of living are still low, they have been raised enormously since the War. During the nineteenth century the nation suffered 19 famines. Mr. Hindus predicted that the day of famines is ended. Mr. Hindus is equally well known as a writer as he is a lecturer. Since the beginning of the Russian Revolution he has made ten trips to Soviet Russia to gain material for his lectures, articles and books. Besides traveling through Russia and Siberia, he has spent much time living with the peasants on collectivization farms. He knows thoroughly the life, customs and conditions of the people of Russia. Knowing Russia before the old regime with the new, and the changes that Communist Russia has undergone in the transition. Explanation is given of why Communist Russia has displanted such things as religion, private property and business and the modern family; and how they are being replaced by Communistic institutions. Mr. Hindus is a speaker and writer of unusually high attainment. He has spent years studying Russia in its various aspects. He knows Russian literature and history thoroughly, speaks Russian quite fluently, and is bound by no ties to his native land. He speaks conscientiously, truthfully, and sincerely. predatory fish are wintering with their prey. They have explored the great hibernating pits of the mouth of the Volga.

OCR Transcript | Semi-Weekly Friday THE AUBURN PLAINSMAN Hear Noted Pianist VOL. LXI Z-I AUBURN, ALABAMA, FRIDAY, FEBRUARY 18, 1938. NUMBER 40. South Is Frontier Of LJation, Says Goff [in Speech "We of the south produce raw I materials in abundant quantity, I snip them elsewhere, and have I chem returned to us at high prices. J said Dr. J. H. Golf in the key- [note statement of an address be- [fore members and .guests of Delta I., giua Pi last Tuesday evening. | Dr. Goff spoke on "The Great I South" and showed with tangible lustrations that the south is the |.real frontier of the nation. Introduced by Frank Conner, ice-president of Delta Sigma Pi, liJr. Goff began his speech by [distributing and explaining sev- ;ral maps of the southeast show-f ing spendable income by counties. Alabama's spendable income was the lowest in the area. The speak- | er pointed out that we have a | better system of inland waterways, more power, better mineral re-ources and seaports as good as -vher states, yet our income is considerably below that of our -\djacent neighbors. Georgia and Mississippi. "It is a hard thing explain," said Dr. Goff, "I have ied to break it down from many . viewpoints, but everything seems to favor us. It is almost inexplain-able." Speaking of the south as a whole, Dr. Goff said that we have all we need for a sound economy and our big problem is building u p our spendable income. He said that we have been living under an economy based on the production of raw materials, and the yield from raw materials is small as inpared to that of finished goods. He said that we have a small >;rcentage of the nation's indus- '•ies, whereas we should have large portion. We have every-hing we need to make many :ioods that we do not produce at nil. We are the greatest consumers ! oilcloth, and it is made from cotton and vegetable oils taken from this section, but there is not a single manufacturer of oilcloth in the south. The same is true of wall paper, shaving soap, muni- • i n s and numerous other con-umers' goods. "If we are to progress," says Dr. Goff, "we must put more people in possession of lands. We must reclaim eroded lands and abused timber lands, and must have existing freight barriers removed." These are the prime reasons why southern progress has been slow. - ccording to Dr. Goff. In conclusion, Dr. Goff said 'The south flings out a wide open challenge to the young folk of the country and the great opportunities of the country now lie in the outh." Huntingdon I. R. C. jroup Meet Here The Auburn chapter of the International Relations Club were hosts to the Huntingdon Chapter n Thursday evening. Eleven delegates were entertained with super at the Terrace Tea Room. Immediately following the supper i-rty a regular club meeting was held in the Student Center, with the public invited. Jean Batigne, club president, called the meeting to order and turned the program over to the president of the Huntingdon chap-ler, Miss Martha Pettus, who introduced Miss Irene Brinson Mon-oe, sponsor of the chapter, Dean L. L. Clifton, and Dr. Helen Tay- ' ( r . Each spoke briefly on world affairs. The subject for the evening was "Neutrality," with talks made on the following topics: Frances Cobb, ackground of Neutrality;" Lucy lj^num, "The Far East Crisis;" Helen Marsh, "Isolation"; Rosemary Parkman, "World Coopera- •:on." In addition to the already men- :oned speakers, the following del-gates a. so were present: Frances Sullivan, Jessie Sue Byrnum and Louise May. The president of the Huntingdon chapter extended an invitation to the Auburn Club to present a program in Montgomery later in the spring. Noted Pianist During a three-day visit here, Julian DeGray, talented pianist and teacher of Bennington College, will appear in a concert and numerous informal confer, ences with students interested in music. He has an unusually large repertoire and will be prepared to play request number in the informal conferences. Speaker On Chinese Cults Conies Here James Henry White, noted'student of Chinese culture, will speak in Langdon Hall Tuesday night on the "Highlights of Chinese Civilization," using colored slides to illustrate his lecture. On display Tuesday in the Architecture Library will be a collection of 60 beautiful "camera paintings" of Chinese art and architecture mounted in hand-carved frames. These views were selected from 4000 photographs taken by Mr. White and his brother Herbert Clarence White during 8 years in China and carefully painted by skillful Chinese artists. The White brothers enrolled in the language school at Peking, China, in 1922. They became interested in the Chinese language and culture, and especially in the magnificent art and architecture of the country and decided to recreate it through hand-colored views for the people of the Western world. "The logical medium with which to accomplish our aim was photography," said Herbert C. White in the June, 1931, issue of Japan Magazine, "and we began the fascinating work of building up a collection of photographic studies of ours which would portray the glories of China's artistic heritage in a manner hitherto unknown. During their eight years among the Chinese, the Whites organized expeditions and made pilgrimages to practically all the great showplaces. Weeks at a time were spent roaming about old temples and fortresses and adding hundreds of photo studies to their collection. Students, faculty members, and townspeople are invited Tuesday night. There will be no admission charge. Auburn Alumni Of Talladega Entertain With Banquet The Auburn Alumni of Talladega will entertain with a banquet tonight at 8 p. m. in Talladega, honoring Auburn head coach Jack Meagher, Porter Grant, Alumni Secretary said today. Coach Meagher will be the principal speaker using as his subject "Athletics at Auburn". A series of short speeches will also be made by Dr. L. N. Duncan, Porter Grant, and Maurice Bloch, president of the Alumni Association. Pictures of the Orange Bowl game and other Auburn football games will probably be shown. Accompanying Porter Grant to Talladega will be Dr. L. N. Duncan, Coach Meagher and • Maurice Bloch of Selma who will join the party for the banquet. NOTICE There will be an important meeting of the swimming team Monday afternoon at 5:00 at the Gym. All members are expected to attend. Discussion Of World Peace Problems Is Given By Russian Lecturer Here BY J. H. WHEELER Maurice Hindus, journalist and author, told an audience of Auburn people in Langdon Hall Wednesday evening that "when war is declared between the Facist powers and France and England, the United States cannot stay out." Theme of the speaker's address was the Russian Revolution, but much of the talk dealt with possible causes and results of future wars. "If Mussolini and Hitler do not find a way to solve their internal troubles, they will go to war," he' said, "either against France and England or against Russia." "Should they attack Russia," he declared, "they would be finally exhausted in a long-drawn-out conflict. Rapid development of manufacturing has made Russia too strong for France and Germany to handle." But if attack were centered on France and England, the United States would be drawn in, he continued. Blood ties and common literary background between A-mericans and Englishmen were given as the forces which would develop war psychology in this country- were England attacked. He spoke of the Facists powers' desire for expansion and mentioned as possibilities the British Empire, and the rich agricultural lands of the Ukraine and Georgia in Russia. The new Russian military power was emphasized. "Russia does not want war, but she will fight if not left alone," he said. Already Russia has the largest standing army in the world, with 1,300,000 regulars and 10,000,000 reserves. "The Russian Revolution should have come a hundred years sooner" declared Mr. Hindus. "Modern machinery has made revolutions like wars," he explained. "Had the Russian revolution come when the Americans and French had theirs, much of its brutality could have been avoided." The speaker, brought to the campus by the new Auburn Entertainment Committee, is a naturalized American citizen, but since 1923 has spent much of his time in Russia. Most of the talk was devoted to defects and accomplishments of the Revolution which is now in its 20th year. He spoke of the new agriculture as the outstanding product of the Revolution. Huge collective farms run by scientific methods have removed inefficiencies caused by the backwardness of the peasants and are producing substantial stores of food. "In my opinion, Russia will not have another famine," he said. Emphasis was placed on the development of vast stores of natural resources in the Ural Mountains, along the Amur River in Siberia, on the shores of the White Sea beyond the Arctic circle, and elsewhere. In discussing the cotton production in Central Asia by irrigation, he said that the Russians formerly bought large quantities of American cotton, today they do not buy a bale. Elimination of the Jewish problem he considered "an outstanding creative achievement."

A., the annual Interfraternity Go-To Church contest will be held during the month of March. The trophy, a 10-inch loving cup, to be presented to the fraternity having the largest percentage attendance at any of the Auburn Churches during the four consecutive Sundays of March, will be secured at an early date and be placed on display in a downtown store window. Much interest has been shown in years past, and it is hoped.that this contest will prove to be no exception. The Theta Chi Fraternity was winner of last year's contest. Although last year's contest extended over two month's duration, the contest this year will last only one month. All fraternities are eligible to compete. A table with an attending "Y" member will be stationed at the entrance of each Auburn Church for the morning service. All members and pledges attending services will check their names on lists as they enter. A strictly percentage basis of the number present of the number enrolled in the chapter of each fraternity will be in effect. A comparative rating of the fraternities will be tabulated each week an dthe results announced in the Friday issue of the Plainsman. The contest will be in effect for the Sundays of 6, 13, 20, and 27th of March. Chapter presidents will be provided at an early date with rules and full particulars governing the contest. Further inquiry concerning the contest should be addressed to Clyde Jones or Arthur Cooper, president and vice-president respectively of the "Y". Winners Of Theta Upsilon Cake Will Be Notified The drawing for the Theta Upsilon cake will be Wednesday night, February 23. The lucky winner of the large three layer devil foods cake will be notified immediately after the drawing. If you have not bought a chance on this cake then buy one now, before it is too late. Ain't the Plainsman fine? Another competitive activity for the sororities of the campus will be provided for by the Y. W. C. A. in the form of a Sorority Go-To- Church Contest. Ann Moon, Y. W. C. A. president announces that the contest will be sponsored, carried out, and the cup donated by the members of the Y. W. C. A. The cup to be awarded the winner will be secured at an early date and placed on display. A Sorority Go-To-Church Contest is a new activity on the campus, but indications are that it will be a huge success. The content will take place throughout the same period of time as the Fraternity Go-To- Church Contest. For the four Sundays in March sororities will vie with one another for the lead which at the end of the fourth Sunday will determine the winner. The contest will be on a percentage basis. Ratings will be weekly tabulated and announced. Sorority members and pledges Will check their attendance at the entrance of any Ayburn Church as they attend a morning service. The Y. W. C. A. Sorority contest and the Y. M. C. A. Fraternity contest will be run independent of each other, though both shall take place at the same time, the same rules shall be in force for both, and the cups will be donated by the Y. W. C. A. and the Y. M. C. A. for the winners of the Sorority contest and the Fraternity contest respectively. Cavaliers Piny At Pickwick Club In B'ham Tonight The Auburn Cavaliers, popular campus orchestra, left this afternoon for Birmingham where they will furnish the music for a dance at the Pickwick Club tonight. Saturday night the orchestra will journey to Columbus where they will entertain Georgia dancers at the Welfare League Ball. The Cavaliers will make the trips in their trailer and will return to this campus Sunday. The orchestra is under the administration of Jimmie Hooper, business manager, and Bruce Kelly, director. It is a true Aristocrat. PROSCAR MBXUMLEV Important developments in veterinary medicine will be discussed by Dr. Oscar V.

A. and other collected persons in Langdon Hall on Thursday evening. Mr. Derring was one of the most masterful informal speakers ever heard. At the outset of his speech, he admitted that he had no previous idea on intentions of what he was to say; yet he talked for thirty minutes in a most pleasant and entertaining manner. Devoid of eyesight since youth, Mr. Derring has learned to feel the presence of an audience. All who heard Mr. Derring were of the opinion that he, indeed, possessed a remarkable personality. Having a mild-mannered voice and using few gestures, he presented a countenance that held rapt attention. Mr. Derring is the fourth speaker to be brought to the campus to speak to the Y. M. C. A. and others interested. Previous speakers were Mr. Bill McKee, Mr. Inzer and Mr. V. M. Hardwick. Non-Residents Are To Take Classes Five special. Saturday classes, with more than 50 members, were organized at the college last Saturday to provide work during the semester for non-resident students who drive to Auburn once a week for classes. Saturday was the last official registration day for this special work. Classes organized were Curriculum Studies, Dr. Paul Irvine; Philosophy of Education, Dr. Zebulon Judd; American Literature, Dr. L. G. Gosser; Southern Literature; Prof Henry W. Adams; and Alabama History, Prof. Charles F. Davis. Normally about 50 students enroll in these Saturday classes, which are offered every semester. The students, mostly teachers, drive from 10 to 50 miles each Saturday, the classes meeting for three hours at a time. Each student is allowed to enroll in two classes. By taking Saturday classes at Auburn, a teacher may complete 12 hours of credit during the school year. Debate Team Goes On Tour Of Four States Soon Auburn debaters begin their active intercollegiate campaign next week when two teams will take a week's tour through Georgia, Alabama, Tennessee, and Kentucky. This trip will be the first of several which are expected to be made this year, marking Auburn's best debate prospects in several seasons. Debating as one team will be Bernard Sykes and Larry Caruth. ers. Sykes is a sophomore in Pre- Law and a member of the Phi Delta Theta fraternity. Caruthers is a sophomore in Pre-Law and a member of the Sigma Chi fraternity. These two will uphold the affirmative and the negative of the question, "Resolved: That the Southern states should adopt a system of unicameral legislatures." The other team will be composed of George Hiller and A. C. Allen. Hiller is a sophomore in Pharmacy and a member of the Pi Kappa Phi fraternity. Allen is a' sophomore in Ag. Ed. Both of these debaters had extensive experience as freshmen, Allen being the recipient of one of the two Tau Kappa Alpha cups awarded to the winning team in the freshman Tau Kappa Alpha debate tournament. This team will uphold the affirmative and the negative of the question, "Resolved: That the National Labor Relations Board should be empowered to enforce arbitration in all industrial disputes." The iternary for the tour is as follows: Monday, February 21, Emory University in Atlanta, Ga.; Tuesday, University of Chattanoo-go, Chattanooga, Tenn.; Wednesday, University of Tennessee in Knoxville and Maryville College in Maryville, Tenn.; Thursday, Berea College in Berea, Kentucky; Friday, Murfreesboro State Teach- . ers College at Murfreesboro, Tenn., Saturday, Birmingham-Southern in Birmingham. Plans for other debate tours and the schedule of home debates for Auburn teams have not yet been released by the Debate Council but will probably be made public in a few weeks. Nazi Germany Is Shown In Film Dramatically revealing the spectacular growth in the United States of the German-American Bund, Nazi-in-spired organization, which today claims a membership of 200,000 the editors of March Of Time bring to the screen of the Tiger Theatre "Inside Nazi Germany—1938" an exclusive motion picture of international significance. Leader or Fuehrer of the German- American Bund is Fritz Ku-hn, former German machine-gunner, who from his headquarters in the Yorkville section of New York City, superintends the widespread national organization of U. S. Germans who have developed nearly eighty centers of activity in a short time. They have established under Kuhn's leadership, at least twenty-five summer camps and drill grounds. March Of Time shows them in brown shirts and Nazi regalia marching and exercising under the swastika flag. To extend their activities to untouched sections of the country and more effectively to spread the doctrines of Adolf Hitler, the Kuhn organization recently purchased 178 acres of Southberry, Connecticut, as a site for another Nazi camp. Usually unaffected by the direct impact of world events, the townsfolk waxed indignant at this attempted inroad by the German- American Bund. To the little New England town March of Time brought its cameras and recorded an exciting town-meeting which aroused citizens called to prevent the organization of a Nazi quarters. Too large for the ordinary meeting place, the hundreds of men and women went over to the larger quarters of the Congregational Church. From the hills came farmers and their sons who come (Continued on page four) PAGE TWO Plainsman Editorials LANGDON HALL WOULD RETIRE ON PENSION AT EARLY DATE There is a pressing need for modern auditorium facilities here at Auburn. Mellow with tradition and history, Langdon Hall stands an old man in the midst of a new generation and finds itself unable to meet the demands of the modern world. The seats in the historic old hall have borne up bravely under the shock of countless mass meetings. They have patiently undergone the punishment offered by rau-cuous children. The struggle to bear up under the strain is fast becoming too much for their ebbing strength and they are crying out for retirement. They should be retired. Brought up two generations ago, the stage fell into the current thought channel of being narrow. Years of asosciation with the college students have caused it to stretch as much as possible, but, too many generations behind, it has no chance to expand to cope with the modern activities. It should be retired. The walls themselves, tired of guarding the sound of any speeches, are relaxing their vigilance. Saturated with stores of knowledge, thousands of cheers, and countless performances, they can no longer absorb the activities that take place within them. Acoustical expert walls are pressing them for their job and, reluctantly, they tender their resignation. They should be retired. Advertisements should be placed in the classified columns of the newspapers stating, "Auditorium Wanted, apply at A. P. I." The qualifications for the job should be that the successful applicant have a large stage, comfortable seats for 3000, modern acoustical construction, a floor sloping toward the front, and all modern auditorium advantages. When the applicant is found, Langdon Hall should be retired and pensioned immediately. The Plainsman writing contest is going into the last stages. Due to the fact that most literary matter takes much time for its preparation when the time for inspiration and writing is considered the time length of the contest stretched over quite a long period seemingly. However, all contests of such nature usually last quite longer. It is hoped that quite a larger number of manuscripts will be submitted than are on hand at the present. This contest is considered a definite move of progression, hence the wish for the wholesale enlistment of the cooperation of the writing section of the student body.

THIS "OUTLINE" WORLD STILL WOULD LIKE TO READ A BOOK Not long ago a student for another college wrote a letter to this paper, in which he advocated a nation-wide campaign on the part of students for the purpose of establishing the use of "outlines" rather than textbooks in classes. We are not in accord with the growing movement in America to convert not only the students, but also the general public to the idea that Americans do not have time to read books. We find this idea expressed in many ways, partly to win support for a crop of "picture" magazines and "digests" and partly to make the newsboy the central figure in our education. We must do our reading on the run. At least that is what we are told. There is a place for "picture" magazines and "digests" or they would not be so popular. Our belief is that there is also a place for books, undigested and unabridged in any form—books to be read at leisure. We admit that this is a hectic world, but mere mechanical haste does not mean that we are going anywhere in particular. There are times when we can get an intellectual "lift" from a paragraph or a single epigram or proverb; but there are other times, when our minds are relaxed, when we wish the solid satisfactoin that comes from more lengthy communion with our favorite authors—the kind of satisfaction we get out of reading all of Dickens, all of Thackery and all of Shakespeare. Skimming the surface of things may keep us reasonably well informed, but it does not give us the satisfaction nor the power that we obtain from real solid reading. All this is just another way of saying that there are no short cuts to learning. There is no substitution for leisurely reading. We hold that any propaganda aimed at influencing the public not to read books is false propaganda. Any lessening of the esteem due good books or any attempt to persuade others to lose the esteem they hold is false reasoning and harmful reasoning. "AFTER CLASS SMOKES" HOLD SOME SORT OF PLACE HERE We take it that there is a kind release from uncomfortable shackles to light a cigarette or a pipe the moment the bell rings which signifies the end of a class session. At least, one would get the idea that most students have that feeling judging from the consistent enthusiasm employed in the practice. One might have it that this is only symbolic of the attitude of defiance which one is able to demonstrate in the face of the professor who reigns mighty during the class session but who loses all power of exercising control and paternalistic respect when his charges are released. Possibly it is only a reflex that has its expression in the fact that there is something definitely stimulating in the debaunch of nicotine. If the immediately foregoing be the case, the matter of attitude hardly enters into the matter, just a matter of habit which has no especially good or bad aspects. However, it all goes to prove the point that the human demands certain types and amounts of sedatives for any kind of participation. Unless these sedatives are present and used, the human hesitates, sometimes balks, at work. There was once the innovation of an institution which has become known as Discipline. It has been offered for various problems. But all the while the human has been resentful of most any such encroachment upon his rights. If a sedative is needed in this case of class participation, it is just another human characteristic having its play. "Are those leaving our colleges different from the mases, except for their interest in football tickets on the fifty yard line?" Dr. Robert G. Sproul, president of the University of California, thinks that 85 per cent of the students in junior colleges are not of college caliber and should not go on to higher education. "One rarely finds a European college student working his way through school. Even if we should get a job, it is very probable we would not get money for it. Our pay would be the valuable experience we received from the job. "Robert Forstor, foreign exchange student form Switzerland at Ohio State University, praises the initiative of American students who work their way through school. THE AUBURN PLAINSMAN PLAINSMAN FORUM Mr. Max Welden, Pres. Executive Cabinet, Alabama Polytechnic Institute, Auburn, Alabama Dear Mr. Welden: This is not addressed to you personally but rather to that which you represent—the Auburn student body. In other words, the letter has its address as much to the "any man on the street" as to any other addressable personality. The Plainsman has a section which is supposed to be devoted to opinions coming from the scope of our readers. The section was known as Letters To The Editor, but we have received very few letters, which is apparently indicative of one of two or three things. However it is not a matter of discouragement. If there be opinions to be expressed, then we can rename the section Letters From The Editor. In order to give you something to be thinking about, I will make a modest proposal. This proposal has as its preface in mind the fact that Auburn is much of that "Ideal" which was mentioned in the first editorial in the Wednesday issue, that it is a living panorama of the "Beau Ideal" of college and college life, and the very self same ideal which is in demand by the faculty and the, student body. With the "Ideal" in the foreground,- I add that with all we have, the model "Republic of Auburn College" might have its initiation. Leaving the idea for minute consideration, I further substantiate the stand which I am taking. The fact that there have been hardly any expresion of opinions about any of the components of our college life submitted to this section, there is the logical conclusion that there have been no opinion in existence in any of the minds of our Auburnites. This might easily be a wild guess, for it is quite possible that our readers consider us as undemocratic, as Bolsheviks who have no rejfard for the wellfare of our institution, that we would have noting to do with any proposal which has as its aim the betterment of that which is around us. All in all, they may think of us as an institution which has no intention of " sponsering the Auburn Spirit." We know nothing of what or what has not been thought about the "pretty pass of things here," that is, the smug somnolency which has been gaining more and more power among our Sixteen Ems BY SPACER OUTER A talented member of the Spacer Outer Club presents DID "U" KNOW THAT Evelyn Dubose has another sucker on the string?

Possibly this lack of interest is the reason for the lack of opinions, the lack of action, and the dead state of things. But back to the "Republic of Auburn College" proposal, it might be considered some- - what as a likeness of a Utopian development. With the ideal set-up expressed in the afore mentioned editorial clear in mind, it is to be easily seen that we have all, or most, of the necessary constituents to begin the development of the ideal "Republic." In the first place, the cardinal point in any ideal or Utopian community is the complete satisfied state of the inmates. We have that matter well in hand, incorporated in our easy complacancy. In other words, we are completely satisfied with the set-up just as it is, any new ideas or actions- would disrupt the whole thing, hence the necessity of keeping down any new, easily termed radical, innovations which might come up from time to time. We have drank deep of the lotus. We are satisfied with that small existence of ours. Our "Auburn Spirit" does exist, though it be an anemic semblance. It has taken for granted that the "grand thing" does exist. Furthermore, it has been assumed that it is a wholesome thing which could not be replaced a whit by anything near its equal. In fact, this intangible thing is considered of such a nature that should we find it uncomfortable for activity, little trouble would be encountered in living on its tradition. Of course it all amounts to this simple fact that if there is such a thing it is a lots of nonsense which is whooped up intermittently and might justly be termed unrefined "collegiana" in its cheapest form. But if the last idea be taken, it will be a deviation from the original, that of the "Republic of Auburn College." It would be the innovation of an idea which might serve to wreck the whole set-up. Herewith, I say we have a dead thing which we are proud of, a thing which we pherish, a thing which is orth more than anything that could be derived from any sort of activity, so hy not provide the proper working conditions for it immediate success. The proposal now rests, like that which it proposes. If you think it is a good idea carry on but do it in a quiet manner so as to not disturb the "SMUG SOMNOLENCY." Yours in the acting, The Editor Talk About The Town JACK STEPPE ROBERT LEE MUNDHENK The palm for the niftiest bit of satire we have read in many a moon goes to Ye Ed for for his piece on the "Ever wide awake Auburn! The apparent apathy of a large part of the student body is the gist of the piece. This is all too true. The majority of the students in our noble institution have about as much initiative as a blind bull. If by some stroke of fate someone does hit on a progressive idea he is immediately dubbed a "crackpot," or a radical. The inability of most of us to differentiate between radicalism and pro-gressiveness is responsible for our ostrick-like attitude of keeping the facts of things' hidden while we bury our heads in the sands of our own smug complacency. If the famed Auburn spirit were applied to more aspects of our college life, we, as well as the institution itself, would reap untold benefits. Auburn has, in all probability, the most disorganized student body of any major col-college we know of. In order to accomplish anything there must be some sort of singleness of purpose, and it is in this respect that we are sadly deficient. What the remedy for this can be we won't hazard to guess, but surely a remedy can be wrought. We are also pleased to note from Wednesday's edition that the Glee Club proposes to give several concerts on the campus this spring. And then too Blue Key announces that they will once more sponsor a fraternity spring sing this year. The sing last year met with unusual success and a repetition will be more than welcome. For the first time in quite a while we get the chance to see a stage show at the Tiger. Some of them have been good and a few, more or less, have been of a lesser nature. Since this is written before we get a chance to see it and won't appear until after its over we can only guess. In all probability, however, it will probably give a bit more impetus and a few new steps to the slowly dying Big Apple. And now—having said our little piece— we will retire to topics of more or less academic interest. FRIDAY, FEBRUARY, 18,1938. News And Views BY L. E.

FRIDAY, FEBRUARY 18, 1938. THE AUBURN PLAINSMAN PAGE THREE Fencing Reported Good Outlook The outlook for fencing at Auburn appears very encouraging, according to Jimmy Davis. Advocates of the parry and thrust met Wednesday night, and the surprisingly large number of thirty were present. Plans for the year were discussed, but actual practice did not begin until last night. Six veterans are back this year and will be able to show the newcomers a few of the fine points. The following men have signed for the sport: L. C. Worthy, W. G. McDowell, Laurens Pierce, G. W. Caruthers, W. L. Ellner, F. D. Nixon, J. P. Caxton, J. L. Cortina, V. H. Johnson, Corolus M. Bloom-field, J. B. Carmichael, C. W. Cook, C. E. Harless, D. Lloyd, H. Chapman and H. S. Grundmann. Anyone who is interested in fencing should see Professor E. B. Smith immediately. Professor Smith may be found in his office on the second floor of Samford Hall any time during the day. No outside contests will be scheduled as fencing here is necessarily intra-mural at this early stage. It is hoped that in the near future it will become an inter-collegiate sport.

This match is to be followed Monday with an engagement with the Florida Gators here at Auburn. Both Tennessee and Florida have especially strong swimming teams, the latter in particular, and the Tiger splashters will have to be in top form to emerge victorious The meet with the Florida Gators will be the Plainsmen's hardest test of the year and it will be a mighty tough struggle to gain a point over the fast moving Gators. In their first meet of the season the Auburn tankmen were defeated by Georgia Tech, 42 to 35, in Atlanta. In this contest Lyons received second place in the 220 yard freestyle and a first in the 440; Smith placed third in the 220 and 440; Captain Kierstead won the 60 yard dash; Perry placed third in diving; Forbes came in second in the 100; Ousley placed second in the 100 yard backstroke; Campbell third in the backstroke; Mohns second in the breaststroke; Heathcote third in the breast-stroke, and a team composed of Paul, Ousley, Forbes and Kierstead won the 400 yard relay. In their meet the following day the Tigers were again subdued, this time by Emory in Atlanta, 49 to 26. Failing to take a single first place from the potent Emory outfit. The following are Auburn men who placed in the various events: 220—Lyons, second, Smith, third; 50—Forbes, second; diving, Perry, second, Chambers, third; 100 freestyle— Forbes, second, Kierstead, third; 100 backstroke—Ousley, second, Campbell, third; 100 breast-stroke— Mohns, second; 400 freestyle— Lyons, second, Smith, third.

Phone 70 start to finish. Tech's ability to handle the ball off the backboards was largely responsible for their slim margin of victory. Throughout the contest the dexterous Jackets relied on their towering height to gain possession of the ball under both baskets, and in this respect the Tigers were sometimes at fault. Too many times during the game the Plainsmen failed to follow up their shots, but being at such a disadvantage as they were, they put up an amazing battle against Tech, who hovered over the Bengals like giants. Neither coach substituted during the entire game, the starting fives of both clubs going the entire route. This game marked one of the most aggressive contests ever staged in the Alumni gymnasium, the score being tied an even dozen times at different stages. The game was close and spirited throughout, with Tech holding a 26 to 24 advantage at halftime, but the Tigers evened the count many times in the second half. Both outfits brought the capacity crowd to its feet every minute of the altercation, with their spectacular floor work and brilliant shooting. Malvern Morgan, Auburn's three-sport athlete, again took individual scoring honors with 19 points, giving a brilliant demonstration of masterful shooting. Crawford Holmes, who in this writer's opinion is the Tigers best all-around man, found the basket for 13 markers. Jones, forward, and Johnston, center, led the victors in scoring with 14 and 12 points respectively.

Football Captains Feted At Banquet "We have all we need for another great team next season and we will be out there fighting," said Bo Russell to Auburn alumni at the Alumni football banquet in Montgomery last week. Newly elected Captain Bo Russell and Alternate-Captain Marion Walker were called on for short speeches at the meeting, and both spoke the sentiment of the team when they said they expected another fine season "because we have the material and the determination." From a relative large group of football candidates eligible for the captaincy, these men were chosen. Russell will represent the line, and Walker the backfield. Alumni attending the big banquet in Montgomery expressed their full approval of the selections made. As the new leaders strode to the front, a loud applause went up, and an even louder one when the bashful speeches were made. Retiring Captain Lester Antley and Alternate-Captain Billy Hitchcock also made short talks and wished the new pilots the best of luck for the coming season. Antley and Hitchcock predicted that the teams would-be as strong if not stronger than last season. Baby Tigers Win Over Waverly Playing Waverly on their home court last Friday, the High School was barely able to eke out a close victory in winning 21 to 20. Waverly led throughout the game and in the closing seconds had the score supposedly cinched at 20 to 19. With less than 10 seconds to play, "Jug" Wright threw the ball into Jack Bright who attempted to shoot. The whistle ending the game blew as the ball left the hands of Bright, and in shooting Bright was hacked by an opposing player and was awarded two free throws.

The only other game on the card of the BaT by Tigers this week is Dadeville who will be met in Dadeville tonight. The diamond, hardest of minerals, remains unmatched as an abrasive. Auburn Baskefeers Receive Defeat In Last Home Game Making their final bow on 'the home court for the current season the Auburn Tigers were again defeated by a one-point margin last Wednesday night by the Nehi Reds of Columbus, Ga., 44 to 43. Coach Ralph Jordan started the second five against the Nehi outfit and they did well, gaining much needed experience. However, Coach Jordan's charges were unable to cope with Dick Jones, professional baseball player who is owned by the St. Louis Cardinals, whose masterful shooting netted him 25 points. / It was largely through the shooting of Jones that enabled the Columbus aggregation to subdue the Bengals, and they held a 22 to 15 halftime lead.

While in the eastern metropolis he was a guest at four dinners given in his honor, and during the same period appeared in fourteen benefit performances, for which, of course, he donated his professional services. It didn't occur to O'Connor that there was anything unusual about that. In fact, there was nothing unusual, for this kindly cop of the films likes to do things for other people, and expects nothing in return. When honors do come his way he is pleased no end, but sur- | prised. O'Connor, who appears in his customary role as a bluecoat in Monograms' latest feature, "Boy of the Streets," coming Sunday to the Opelika Theatre, and starring Jackie Cooper, exudes an atmosphere of friendliness and good cheer on the screen, and the same holds true in real life. When Robert Emmett O'Connor first came to Hollywood, he didn't realize that he was joining the police department, but now he feels that he should be eligible for a pension. There has never been a police officer in any police department in the United States who has been promoted and demoted as much or as often as he has. stitute; Hon. R. J.

Hindus Speech (Continued from page one) crimination and the Jews. Though finding the transition from private business to industry and agriculture difficult, are "happier than they have ever been before." he declared. He told of visiting a collective farm village where Jewish people had become the "best farmers in Russia." Formerly small shop-keepers, these Jews have learned scientific farming in eight years which is far superior to that of the Germans in Russia. Great strides in education were pointed out. In 1914, Russia had 8,000,000 children in grammar and high schools. Today there are 38,000,000. Tuition is paid by the government; and .in addition, 85 per cent of the university students also receive their living expenses. The spread of atheism he considers another far-reaching effect of the Revolution. "There is no ban on worship in Russia," he said, "hut thie government is doing everything possible to foster atheism among the young. "Russia needs only to be left alone to develop her resources," he said in conclusion. "She is build ing factories feverishly, but it will be years before their full benefits are realized. Then when basic agricultural problems are settled, the country will be free to solve its basic political worries." The Soviet Union is working toward Democracy, Maurice Hindus, noted author and lecturer, told an audience of between 300 and 400 in Langdon Hall last night. As economic problems are solved, Mr. Hindus predicted, the dictatorship will steadily relax. Born in Russia, Mr. Hindus came to America at the age of 15. He is a graduate of Colgate and Harvard, and the author of four widelyread books. Since the World War he has spent a large part of his time in Russia, studying the effects of the Soviet Revolution. The Revolution came 100 years late, Mr. Hindus explained, and largely because of this has been more brutal and extreme than were social revolutions of other nations. However, Russia is working out its own problems, and will continue to do so successfully if left alone. Russia's chief threat now lies in possible attack by Nazi Germany in an effort to obtain the rich Ukraine Valley. Italy, Germany and Japan have an anti-Communist pact signed within the past year. In enumerating the chief effects of the Russian Revolution, the speaker mentioned the development of natural resources, the mechanization of the country, the building of a strong military machine, and the advancement of education and science. Before the War eight million Russians attended school; today thirty-eight millions are enrolled. One rerriarkable Accomplishment of the Soviet has been the establishment of the Jews an the land. Today Jews are among the most successful Russian farmers. Farming, too, has become highly 'The Awful Truth' Shows At Tiqer Getting a divprce in Hollywood isn't always as easy as it sounds. Irene Dunn got one from Cary Grant for scenes in Columbia's new comedy, "The Awful Truth," starting Sunday at the Tiger Theatre. It was an uncontested divorce, with a property settlement made in advance, yet the trial took seven days, and that didn't include the ten days required to build the courtroom. In the early days of pictures, movie couples went to a real courtroom to make scenes dealing with divorce. Now they prefer to build their own courtrooms on sound stages, where they can control the lighting, the acoustics and even the temper of the judge. The courtroom in "The Awful Truth," was modeled from a court in New Jersey, where the case is supposed to be heard. It was supervised by an ex-judge from that state, to conform to the New Jersey laws and legal procedure. Evidence was taken, and the decision made time after time, so that the cameramen could move the-cameras about and get it from all angles. It was fully a week before Director Leo McCarey finally gave his OK to the legal parting and let them take down the classic walls of the courtroom, yet the actual scene requires only a few minutes on the screen. Probably a dozen really expensive divorces could be paid for with the money required to stage and photograph these few minutes of actual picture which audiences will see; to pay the salaries of the synthetic judges, attorneys and courts attaches. But in one regard Columbia saved money. Although the courtroom had a capacity of 400, only six sleepy villagers were needed for spectators. Because that's about all the visitors in any New Jersey courtroom for an uncontested divorce of perfect strangers, with no fireowrks. And those 394 empty courtroom chairs represented a saving of $15 a day each, for seven days.

Glenn Avenue. mechanized. Mr. Hindus pointed out that today Russia is too strong as a military power to be attacked by Japan. A conquest of Siberia would have been more logical than a conquest of China, but Japan dared not make war with the Soviet. While Russian standards of living are still low, they have been raised enormously since the War. During the nineteenth century the nation suffered 19 famines. Mr. Hindus predicted that the day of famines is ended. Mr. Hindus is equally well known as a writer as he is a lecturer. Since the beginning of the Russian Revolution he has made ten trips to Soviet Russia to gain material for his lectures, articles and books. Besides traveling through Russia and Siberia, he has spent much time living with the peasants on collectivization farms. He knows thoroughly the life, customs and conditions of the people of Russia. Knowing Russia before the old regime with the new, and the changes that Communist Russia has undergone in the transition. Explanation is given of why Communist Russia has displanted such things as religion, private property and business and the modern family; and how they are being replaced by Communistic institutions. Mr. Hindus is a speaker and writer of unusually high attainment. He has spent years studying Russia in its various aspects. He knows Russian literature and history thoroughly, speaks Russian quite fluently, and is bound by no ties to his native land. He speaks conscientiously, truthfully, and sincerely. predatory fish are wintering with their prey. They have explored the great hibernating pits of the mouth of the Volga.

Determined to prevent the incursion of the Nazis was a lusty, old lady, Miss Jennie Hinman, who appears in March of Time vigorously speaking her mind to the assembled citizens. "My great grandfathers and my grandfathers fought for liberty, as did the ancestors of other people of this town. I call upon you people, most of whom are related to me in some degree of kinship, to keep the Nazis out," declared Miss Hinman, Daughter of the American Revolution. March of Time brings a vivid record of many dramatic scenes to the Tiger Theatre in its latest, full-length release, "Inside Nazi Germany—1938," an outstanding example of fearless pictorial journalism. 4 Dean J u d d Leaves Town To Attend Funeral Mrs. Julia Tutt Royster, mother of Mrs. Zebulon Judd, died Thursday at the home of her son, Francis B.
