Student Directory
Nears Completion
To be Distributed to
Students and Merchants
Yesterday, Charles W. Ed­wards,
registrar, said this year's
student directory, published each
year by the Registrar's Office in
cooperation with the Executive
Cabinet, would differ little from
last year's publication. The Cab­inet
plans to distribute the
pamphlet about the middle of Oc­tober,
two weeks earlier than last
year.
To contain approximately 100
pages, the directory will include
the name, address, telephone
number, and course of every Au­burn
student. In addition to the
individual listing the directory
will embody the names of the of­ficers
of the several honorary or­ganizations
on the campus.
Social organizations too, will be
listed in the directory. A list of
the officers, active members and
pledges of each fraternity and
sorority will be included.
The Registrar cautioned that
everyone who has not yet filled
out a directory information blank
do so immediately, as no ad­ditional
names can be accepted
after the first of October.
In the past copies of the direct­ory
have been distributed only to
Auburn students. This year, how­ever,
every Auburn merchant will
also receive a copy of the direct­ory
to aid him in his business rela­tions
with Auburn students.
AG FAIR TO BE
PRESENTED ON
OCTOBER 21
Eden Announces that
Carnival and Dance
Will be N e w Features
The annual Ag Fair, presented
by the Agricultural Club, will be
held on Saturday, October 21, W.
G. Eden, senior manager of the
fair has announced.
This year's fair will consist of
four feature events. The display
of exhibits will be shown through­out
the day in the auditorium at
Graves Center. This is the first
time that the exhibits have been
placed in this building and the
large amount of space will be ade­quately
filled with agricultural
exhibits which promise to rival
those seen at the Alabama State
Fair. All departments of the
School of Agriculture will have
exhibits arranged by various stu­dent
committees.
Second of the main features
will be the program of entertain­ment
in the amphitheatre in
Graves Center. The climax of the
program will be reached when Dr.
L. N. Duncan crowns the Queen
of Harvest. The queen has not
been selected as yet but she will
be a student in home economics.
Affording a semi-climax for the
program will be the presentation
of the scholarship cup to the
freshman in agriculture having
the highest scholastic average for
the past year. This is an award of
a silver loving cup given each
year by the Alpha Gamma Rho
fraternity. Red Bamburg, presi­dent
of the fraternity will make
the presentation. Other features
of the program include a mock
faculty, tap dancing, string music,
a hog-calling contest, quartet
singing, and several other inter­esting
attractions.
After the close of the program
in the amphitheatre a carnival
will be staged by the Lions Club
in cooperation with the Ag Club.
This event is usually staged in
the summer as a feature of the
Lions Fun Festival, but was post­poned
this year until fall.
Following the carnival a dance
will be held at Graves Center. The
orchestra has not been selected
as yet. All students desiring to
attend the dance should see some
member of the fair committee to
obtain tickets.

As Special Train Arrives from Auburn
Two thousand or more Auburn students and supporters
are boarding busses, trains, and automobiles this afternoon
to throng Montgomery for the opening game of Auburn's
football season, the annual clash between another great
Auburn team and the Panthers of Birmingham-Southern.
When the kickoff whistle blows at 8:00 tonight under
the lights of Cramton Bowl, it will be the last chance of
football fans to see an exhibition of the traditional rivalry

Club in cooperation with Phi Kap­pa
Sigma fraternity will present
a dance in the armory in Mont­gomery.
Beginning at 10:00, it will last
until 1:00, and the Auburn
Knights * will furnish the music.
The armory is located immedi­ately

$10,000 Grant For
New Tennis Courts
May Be Obtained
Sabel Baum Elected as
President of Organization
Seeking Student Courts
The Auburn Tennis Council, or­ganized
last week by supporters
of the move to build more tennis
courts for students, is working on
plans for the obtaining of a WPA
grant of $6,000. Prof. A. L. Thom­as,
member of the City Planning
Commission, stated in the first
meeting of the organization on
Wednesday, September 20, that he
believed such a grant could be ob­tained.
However, in order to take ad­vantage
of the grant the college
must meet the requirements of the
appropriations program "of the
WPA, whereby the WPA will give
80 per cent of the cost of the proj­ect
if the beneficiary will raise the
other 20 per cent.
Of the $1200 which would be re­quired
as the college's 20 per cent,
$300 has already been raised and
is in the tennis court fund of the
intramural sports department. One
hundred dollars of the $300 was
donated last year by ODK as the
proceeds of its annual Musical
Miscellany.
In his speech to the Council
Prof. Thomas also stated that the
city and college planning commis­sions
had inspected areas for con­struction
of the proposed courts.
One of the sites which is being
given serious consideration is that
immediately past the new general
classroom building now under con­struction
on West Thach.

student opinion on the drive for
Cheering Students
Introduced To
Football Team
"Beat Southern" is Pep
Rally Cry as Opening
Game is at Hand
The rafters of old Langdon
Hall rang once more last night,
as several hundred loyal Auburn
students assembled for the biggest
pep rally of this season.
The Auburn band, the football
team, the coaches, the cheerlead­ers,
and a goodly portion of the
student body and townspeople
filled the auditorium, the porch,
and the campus in front of the
hall to overflowing. The time-honored
spirit for which Auburn
is famous was again aroused in
its best light.
Auburn's Big Little Man, Coach
Jack Meagher, was introduced to
the tune of "Glory, Glory to old
Auburn", and after expressing in
his quiet voice his appreciation
for the spirit shown by the crowd,
introduced the coaches and the
entire squad.
First player to be presented
was Auburn's top bid for an Ail-
American berth, Captain "Hatch"
Howell, who promised to "put out
all that the coaches put into us,
tomorrow night." Alternate Cap­tain
Bill "Willie Nick" Nichols
was introduced.
Coaches Dell Morgan, Ralph
Jordan, "Boots" Chambless, Port­er
Grant, and Jimmy Hitchcock
were presented amid the enthusi­astic
yells of the gathering.
"Chick" Hatcher, increasingly
popular head cheerleader, ably as­sisted
by Doris Greene, Joe Gan-dy,
Davis Gammage, and the two
freshman yell leaders, Margaret
McCain and Frank Wiggins, time
after time brought the crowd to
its feet in a frenzy of excite­ment
with ear-splitting yells.
Following the introduction of
the football players, the band
played the Alma Mater—and the
assembled students sang.
After one last, long "War
Eagle" the students broke into
fervent demands for "Tiger Rag."
The band graciously consented to
play this number, and the rally
ended with this accompaniment.

Thousand Engineers Jam WPA Hall
As Engineering Council Meets
Plan of Seminar for
Engineers Discussed
By DONALD BREWER
Approximately 1,000 students in
the Schools of Engineering and
Chemistry were present when
Dawson Mullen opened the first
official meeting of the newly or­ganized
Auburn Student Engi­neers'
Council at Graves Center
Wednesday night.
Mullen briefly outlined the plans
and told how they had been re­ceived
by the faculty. He then read
the preamble to the constitution
that had been drawn up.
Mullen then introduced Dean J.
E. Hannum who told of the faculty
viewpoint of the plan and urged
each man to affiliate himself with
the professional society in his re­spective
field of engineering. Dean
Hannum said that if each man did
as he suggested the council would
be greatly strengthened.
"The three essentials for the
success of the Auburn Student En­gineers'
Council are organization,
leadership and cooperation. The
first of these has already shown in
the organization that you have to­night.
The second of these you have
in the members of this Council who
sit on the stage in front of you,
as they have illustrated by the fine
manner in which they have carried
the program thus far. You have
splendidly shown the third by the
way in which you have already re­ceived
the plans as they were out­lined
by Mr. Mullen," said Dean
Hannum in his opening words.
He stated that the ASEC has
the same type of governing body
as the American Engineers' Coun­cil.
He said that the three ways
of cooperating with the council
were: join some engineering soci­ety
on campus, be willing to serve
on the council, and attend the
meetings whenever they are called.
Dean Hannum was followed by
President L. N. Duncan who spoke
of the importance of the engineer­ing
school. He stated that if a list
of the outstanding engineers of
America were made that a large
number would be Auburn men. "In
my opinion," Dr. Duncan said, "this
meeting tonight is one of the most
significant ever held during my
years as president. I am glad that
the engineers have organized, be­cause
through the Executive Coun­cil
the front office will always be
in touch with the engineers."

Montgomery Flyers
Chosen To Instruct
Auburn Students
Flying Instruction to
Begin November 1 and
Continue Until June 1
J. Wren Allen and J. R. Atkin­son
of the Alabama Air Service,
Montgomery, have been chosen to
serve as instructors in the pilot
training program of the Civil
Aeronautics Authority, which will
begin here in a few days.
The two flyers will use Cubs
for instruction. Flying courses
will begin November 1 and con­tinue
until June 1. For the first
two months each student will re­ceive
three 30-minute instruction
periods weekly, a total of 12
hours of instruction for the per­iod.
After that each will be given
two one-hour periods weekly.
Thirty-five to 50 hours will be
required for a student to receive
his pilot's license, the difference
in time depending on the differ­ence
in ability.
From 16 to 18 hours of dual in­struction
will be given, and the
rest will be solo. There will be a
plane and an instructor for each
10 students, and even during solo
flight a pilot will be observing
from the ground.
The college is now constructing
an 80-by-80 hangar to house
planes, offices, and shops. A third
runway is also being constructed
on the field.
Lt. B. M. Cornell head pro­fessor
of aeronautical engineer­ing,
said this morning, "We have
sent out over 100 applications.
Thirty-one of these applications
have been returned to our office."
Lt. Cornell emphasized this
morning that application is open

people on October 9.
burn and Birmingham - Southern
because of the Birmingham school's
withdrawal from intercollegiate
athletics. This fact in itself prom­ises
a hard-fought battle. The boys
from Southern doubtless will fight
for a win to go out in a blaze of
glory, while the Tigers will fight
to hold their coveted position of
supremacy.
As soon as the special train ar­rives
from Auburn a parade will
form at the Union Station. This
will be about 6:05. Led by the
Auburn Band, bigger than ever
before with its 95 members, the
parade will march from the sta­tion
to Court Square.
Upon arrival at the square,
Head Cheerleader "Chick" Hatch­er
and his five associates, Doris
Greene, Margaret McCain, Joe
Gandy, Davis Gammage, and
Frank Wiggins will lead a short
pep session.
At the game the Auburn sup­porters
and cheering section will
occupy the east stands with the
band in the center of the section.
All freshmen have been urged to
wear their rat caps.
At the half the band will
parade on the field. This will be
the first public appearance of the
year for the band which is larg­er
than it has ever been before.
Earl Guy of Montgomery will be
making his first appearance as
drum major.
After the game the "A" Club
in cooperation with Phi Kappa
Sigma fraternity will sponsor a
dance in the armory next to the
stadium.
The special train returning to
Auburn will leave the Union Sta­tion
at 11:30.
AUBURN PLAYERS
ELECT OFFICERS
Betty Showalter, senior in
science and literature, was elect­ed
president of the Auburn Play­ers
last night at the Y-Hut. James
Reynolds, senior in mechanical
engineering from Birmingham,
was named vice-president, and
Warren Bridges, senior in chemis­try
from West Orange, N. J.,
business manager.
After considerable discussion
the Players voted to give Karl
Capek's "R. U. R." as the second
play of the first semester. The
play is a melodrama dealing with
the conquest of the human race
by a race of mechanical men.
The Players decided to continue
the custom of giving a cup to the
sorority amassing the most" points
in dramatic activities during the
year, but passed a rule stipulating
that the winning sorority must
have a minimum total of fifty
points and at least four girls par­ticipating
in dramatics. Should no
sorority fulfill these conditions,
the cup will not be awarded.

Heigh Ho!
IT'S OFF TO Montgomery for a
thousand or so students to see
Auburn and Southern tangle for
the last time. When that final
whistle blows tonight, one of Au­burn's
most colorful series will
have been completed.
The "Southern game" has come
to be traditional on the Plains.
It gives the War Eagles a chance
to size up their team. En masse
they troop to the capitol and take
the city by storm. Every student
who can raise a few cents gets
to Montgomery somehow a nd
pulls for the boys.
An Auburn tradition is dying
tonight. No better end could be
given it than for the student body
to go to Montgomery and con­duct
themselves creditably. Every
one of us is a representative of
Auburn, and each of us is viewed
as being typical of all that Au­burn
stands for. That may be a
little unfair but the fact remains,
nevertheless. One hellion can de­stroy
in a moment the good im­pression
built up by years.
If you want to blow the dome
off the capitol with a rousing
demonstration of the old Auburn
spirit, do it. If you want to go
out to Cramton Bowl and scream
your soul out for the Tigers, by
all means do it, and there'll be a
thousand of us there helping
you.
But don't for a moment forget
that you are Auburn down there
tonight. And Auburn is some­thing
a lot bigger than any pleas­ure
you may get out of painting
the town red.
The Student Opinion Poll
IN A FEW WEEKS the Execu­tive
Cabinet will sponsor a stu­dent
opinion poll on campus
problems. Though no plans have
yet been announced, this poll
will be one of the outstanding
projects undertaken by the stu­dent
government in several years.
This is student government's
year at Auburn. Amendments
passed last spring gave the Cab­inet
greater flexibility and more
stability. Since school opened the
college administration has shown
an intense interest and faith in
student government. This, coup­led
with the complete coopera­tion
in drawing up amendments
last year, shows that college of­ficials
have their eyes on student
officers as never before.
Concerted student opinion and
action on the dean of men and
freshman conduct questions have,
we believe, convinced administra­tive
officers that students are
thinking seriously and desiring to
take an active part in governing
themselves.
The outcome of the opinion
poll and any resultant action the
Cabinet takes may to a great ex­tent
determine the future of stu­dent
government here. Here may
be the deciding factor in whether
we have a lifeless shell or an ac­tive
working government which
will actually govern.
Your enthusiasm has already
been proved. Now turn it to the
opinion poll. Express exactly
what you believe. In doing so
you will not only demonstrate
your stand on current questions
but also you will help to lay the
foundations for a governing stu­dent
government.
Reunion In Spain
A SHORT TIME ago the daily
press dripped with the blood
of the Spanish civil war. Moral­ly
supporting one side or the oth­er,
we all speculated as to who
would win. Then German and
Italian might triumphed over the
lesser support of Russia. Franco
became the puppet dictator of all
Spain, and the Spanish began the
tedious job of cleaning up a bat­tle-
torn nation.
Now few news communiques
come from Spain. The drab and
dreary job of remaking a scav­enged
country is not news. Spain
must weep over its dead, rebuild
its shattered homes and lives, and
try to build again its comatose
prestige.
Spain is paying its monetary
price, too, for the nation is not
being rebuilt without cost. All
that was destroyed, public as
well as private, must in time be
replaced, and whether in'direct
payment or in taxes, Spain is
paying its blood bounty. Too,
there must be starvation and
misery and blackest poverty.
The dogs of war are not fin­ished
with Spain. The treaty of
peace was only the beginning.
But Spain's lesson w a s not
enough, so half of Europe has
launched on a fight which will
make Spain's look like a Sunday
school picnic.
Get Your Picture Taken
WORD COMES THAT "Buck"
Kelley and his boys on the
Glomerata are taking student
pictures beginning this week.
Now, here's the situation. The
Glomerata's engraving is done
on a contract whereby the soon­er
copy goes in, the greater the
discount given. Getting all of
their pictures in at the earliest
possible date means a saving of
several hundred dollars which
can be applied toward making
other parts of the book better.
You will receive a card within
a few days, if you have not al­ready
received one. Please re­port
at the designated time to the
photographer in the Student Cen­ter.
Help the Glomerata boys out
that much. After all, they need
all the help they can get.
Express your opinion in the
poll. It may be a long time be­fore
you get another such chance.
If you want to paint the town
red wait until you get back to
Auburn.
Well?

Editor's Note: The opinions expressed in this
column are those of the writer and are not to
be constructed as the editorial policies of this
paper.
FOR EXACTLY THREE years the stu­dents
have been wailing long and
loud concerning their plight under the
present rule governing unexcused ab­sences
from classes. In about three
weeks the student body will have a
chance to express itself by voting in
the proposed "student opinion poll."
Last year the Executive Cabinet made
several attempts to explain their side
to t h e Executive
J...... —:—•—j Council of the col­lege,
but they seem­ingly
took no heed.
Why should they take
heed, after all we are
o n l y the student
body . . . we are ex­pected
to conduct
ourselves like gentle­men
. . . we are not
supposed to know our
own mind on matters
of this nature . . . up
until this year we
have been granted very little initiative
in our actions, even through the stu­dent
governing bodies.
* * *
The following quotation is one that
has been appearing in student hand­books
for the past two years. It was
written in the official welcome to Au­burn
by the college to the students:
"It is a part of the Auburn tradi­tion
that Auburn men can be relied
upon to assume responsibility. You will
be placed under no close supervision.
Your teachers will assume that you have
reached a time in life when you can
be relied upon very largely to reach
decision based upon careful study of
all sides of a question."
If allowed to go into actual practice,
we heartily agree.
- * * *
This year the student Executive Cab­inet
is going to make an attempt to
show that Auburn students are able
and willing to take the responsibility
for shaping the policies of student gov­ernment
here on the campus. If the
college officials do not give an ear and
recognize the far-reaching possibilities
of active and efficient student govern­ment,
it is fair enough to say that they
should not expect student cooperation
in problems which they, the college,
might try to settle for the student body.
* * *
The vote on the present absence rule
marks the first time that the students
have ever been given the chance to
voice their opinion on a rule formulat­ed
by the Executive Council, which,
by the way, is made up of the various
administrative officials of the institu­tion
and has no possible organ for hear­ing
the student side of any question
discussed by that group.
* * *
Not only is this event to mark a de­parture
from the usual path of tradi­tion,
but it will also give the students
their first real opportunity to show
their support to changes that are being
advocated by their own student offi­cials.

Godbold," caution must be used in
speaking of his plight. One can never
tell when he might appear with an en­tire
regiment of Marines.
Since ye-ed put down quill pen for
a rifle and sword, and went to live
with the northern brothers, he has
found .that the southern technique of
drawling the king's English comes in
for a bit of jest from his associates.
"Say, buddy, ain't you from the
South?" He has been getting this ques­tion
from everyone from the general
to the mess boys. According to his own
version of the matter, the question is
asked in a manner that leaves the im­pression,
"Say, buddy, ain't you from
the sticks?"
He adds a one of those ever-present
"p. s.'s" that he would like to bring
some of those so-and-so's down for a
few lessons on how to conduct oneself
as a true gentlemen, or something. Bear
up, "Brain", we are pulling for you.

With the realization that this will be
the last time that the football teams
of Auburn and Birmingham-Southern
swap punches on the capitol sod, there
comes memories of many long years of
pleasant association between the two
institutions.
For the last time this early season
trip to Montgomery will be a happy an­ticipation
for the entire Auburn camp­us.
See you there.
With the Co-ops—By A Fred Henning
LAST SATURDAY WE were paid a
visit by two students of our neigh­boring
institution, Georgia Tech. These
men, H. E. Spangler and J. Drew, are
both co-operative students and came to
our campus as representatives of the
Briaerean Society. Each has just com­pleted
a quarter of "diggin' in" over
in the halls of Tech and is now on his
way to his job where he will spend an­other
quarter at work.
Drew, a chemical engineer, is em­ployed
by the Hercules Powder Com­pany
in Hattiesburg, Miss., and Spang­les,
also a chemical engineering stu­dent,
is employed by the Newport In­dustries
located in Pensacola, Fla. On
their way to their jobs they were kind
enough to drop by A. O. Taylor's of­fice
and to discuss with him the pos­sibility
of establishing a branch of the
Briaerean Society here on our campus.
For your information this society is
an organization whose chief purpose
is to combine the activities and ideals
of co-operative students in the various
colleges having co-operative depart­ments.
It is an honorary organization
promoting high ideals in scholarship
and extra-curricular activities.
In his letter to Prof. Taylor, F. M.
Brannen, Secretary of the Briaerean
Society, said in part, "In view of the
work done and the help extended to
the students here it is our desire to
forward our ideas to other colleges hav­ing
co-operative departments, and per­haps
establish a national society for
the unification of such present existing
groups, and to form a society where no
such group now exists."
• We are sure that Auburn's co-opera­tive
students will look forward with
great anticipation to the formation of
such an organization in our school. We
personally hope this suggestion made
by Mr. Brannen will become a reality
in the very near future. -

THE MITEC engineers at a meeting
held last Monday evening elected D.
J. MacKnight to the presidency of "sec­tion
A" of that organization. He is to
preside in that capacity for the coming
school year. At this same meeting Wil­liam
L. Hopper was elected to the of­fice
of vice-presidency. A lengthy dis­cussion
was had by the entire group
concerning the constitution of the or­ganization
and also concerning pro­posed
amendments to same. A commit­tee
to carry out this work is to be ap­pointed
at the next meeting of the
group which is to be held on Monday
evening October 9, 1939.
* * *
LOOKING AROUND at the first
meeting of the Auburn Students' Engi­neers'
Council last Wednesday evening
we proudly noticed that the co-opera­tive
students were well represented. We
take this opportunity to pledge to the
ASEC the whole-hearted support of
every co-operative student. In behalf
of the MITEC Engineers we wish to
thank Dawson Mullen, president of the
ASEC, for the invitation which he ex­tended
to us to be represented at fu­ture
meetings of the Council. We are
proud to be a part, even though small,
of such an inspiring and worthy move­ment!

WITH NEARLY a hundred pieces, the
Auburn Band makes its first game ap­pearance
tonight as Auburn faces South­ern
for the last time. Handicapped by
rain which has prevented some neces­sary
marching practice, the band is
nevertheless-expected to put on its usual
colorful show.
It's going to seem pretty strange next
year to open the season without march­ing
in front of the Southern fans and
playing one of our most stirring marches.
It is doubtful if a more colorful opening
opponent can be found for next year's
game. Always the underdog, Southern
shoots the works, and manages all too
often to upset the dope.
We're going to miss these games with
Southern, and we're going to make the
game tonight something to remember.
We'd like to wish Southern an undefeat­ed
season to wind up inter-collegiate
football there, but that wish must be
modified a little. We hope they will lose
one game. Probable score . . . Auburn
26-Southern 6.

Another first taste of action under fire
will be dosed out to the two freshman
cheerleaders tonight. Margaret McCain
will represent the frosh coeds, while
Frank Wiggins serves for the male rats.
These rats have shown up unusually well
in tryouts, and a little public shouldn't
hurt them.
I'd like to apologize in advance for
next week's colyum. Said epistle will be
written from the fair city which is the
scene of tonight's game, and my fingers
may stroke the wrong keys. If Godbold
would loosen up and let me write a little
scandal, I think that I could find a little
of interest concerning some of the better-known
Auburnites, but, quote, this is no
yellow journal, unquote. So your name
won't appear. Sorry.

To improve the quantity of my read­ing
public, I am going to give free pic­ture
show tickets each week to the three
people mentioned under the head of,
"FREE TICKET WINNERS THIS

my home sometime next week, I will be
glad to hand over the tickets. The win­ners.

Auburn is sprouting orchestras again.
The Knights are back, and the Colleg­ians
are beginning their second year on
the campus. The Plainsmen, organized
this summer, have announced their par­ticipation
in the race for the premier
post. The Knights are naturally favorites
because of their long record as the cam­pus
leaders, but both of the new bands
have possibilities. A one-orchestra town
since the departure of the Cavaliers
who, incidentally, are doing all right
for themselves, Auburn this year has
enough music producers for a town many
times its size.
* * * * * *
And a word to the new coeds. It is the
policy of the possessor of these feeble
fumbling fingers to make you like Au­burn
by doing anything possible for you.
If there is anything at all that I can do
to help amuse you, a call at 221 will
bring me arunnin'. I'm still shortin' out!

Frazier's Park, negro recreational
center a few miles from Auburn, has
been rather fortunate in booking dance
bands for this year. Unconfirmed re­ports
have it that Duke Ellington, Count
Basie, and Ella Fitzgerald will play
there this fall. Jimmy Lunceford is hold­ing
forth at the park tonight. Special
seats will be reserved for whites inter­ested
in hearing these outstanding negro
bands.

The meter of this poetic offering
may be a little off, but the thought is
there.
So many students go all the way
To Montgomery to see ole Auburn play
That it seems that some should see.
But by the half, pore souls,
They can't see to the goals.
It's not darkness; they're lit as can be.
0, the team may not score
Or score a hundred or more
It's the same to the lads in the stands.
For the teams are now four
The officials eight more
And behind instruments hide twin
bands.
Above this bright bowl
Stars twinkle and roll
To see a bowl without a spoon.
But the one who can see
What fools mortals can be
Is the wise old man in the moon.
Letters to the Editor
Editor,
The Plainsman
Dear Sir:
During a recent discussion—some call
it a "bull session" the question of in-terfraternity
sports was brought up.
Someone remarked that he was anxious
to participate but found that a full
schedule, including afternoon lab
courses, prevented his doing so. Several
others immediately explained that they
were in the same predicament.
We wonder how many would-be ath­letes
encounter like complications? As
we understand it, the interfraternity
contests are designed not only to create
friendly competition and rivalry between
fraternities, but also to provide recrea­tional
exercise for the students. If this
ficient artist. Last year he won the
modern water color sketching and has
been asked to participate in the Ala­bama
Art League Exhibit this year. His
belief in the modern side of art is evi­denced
by his radical plans for this
year's Glomerata.
Some people have a secret yearning
for chocolate sodas or fishing but
"Buck's" is the designing of movie sets.
While in California this summer at his
fraternity's national convention, he vis­ited
several movie studios and observ­ed
the work on set designing.
He's hardly ever seen with a date,
though he isn't a woman hater. How­ever,
there are stories still going the
rounds about his experiences at the
press and yearbook convention in Char­leston
last spring.
He is fond of plays, movies—goes to
see nearly every one that comes to
town—and likes to read. His favorite
authors are Edna St. Vincent Millay,
Victor Hugo, and Hervey Allen.
When he entered college he almost
enrolled in journalism. Now he seems
set on the field of modern designing.
"Buck" had never participated in
politics until last spring when he tossed
his hat in the ring for the editorship
of the yearbook. Nevertheless, he came
through the election with little trouble.
He has a lot of original plans for
this year's annual, plans which should
insure that it be different at least.
Luck to you, "Buck."
is so, then it seems that some effort
should be made to eliminate this handi­cap
and make it possible for more stu­dents
to enter therein.
We have seen a similar problem solved
at a nearby university (no, not the Uni­versity
of Alabama) by the installation
of lights over the playing field. The move
was made to increase student participa­tion
in intramural athletics, and its suc­cess
far exceeded expectations. Too, the
spectators more than doubled in number,
and included in the increase were stu­dents,
merchants, faculty members, and
other town people who found afternoon
attendance impossible.
A nominal charge of five and ten cents
was made to pay for the electricity and
other minor expenses incurred each
night. The increased strength of the
teams, brought about by added mater­ial,
greatly increased the competition,
and the low charge was noticed by no
one.
There are twenty-two fraternities in
Auburn, most of which take part in the
interfraternity program. If each would
contribute ten dollars toward lighting
the playing field, surely the merchants,
whose present existence depends largely
on the students, and who are always
ready to forward the spirit of Auburn,
would donate the deficiency.
Not only would the plane of intra­mural
sports be raised in Auburn, but
the students would be provided with a
local place of diversion from school
routine. '
This is merely a suggestion, but we
offer it with best personal regards to all
concerned.
Sincerely,
W. V. Petty.

The Auburn Plainsman

Dear Sir:
In my estimation, any person who
would steal a "rat cap" would steal
fifty cents out of the collection plate,

Want a Housekeeper?
Well, Stop Looking
Girls Learn to Keep
House by Doing It
Do you want to balance your
household budget?
If so, Auburn's home economics
seniors can give you a tip. For
right now these girls are carry­ing
on practical experiments in
the field of home management.
Not' only are those majoring in
home economics learning to man­age
a family on a low income
scale, but also they are finding
out how to manage a household
in the higher income bracket.
Auburn now has two home
management houses each of which
will house six girls at a time.
These girls carry on every chore
from planning, preparing and
serving three square meals a day,
to feeding and caring for a baby.
That is, the baby feeding will
begin on October 1 when, for the
first time in Alabama, a seven-weeks-
old baby will be brought to
a college h o m e management
house to live for 12 months.
But it's not all work and no
play for the home management
girls. Their course requires that
they learn to manage the financial
and physical as well as social life
of a family. Hence they have
teas, dinner guests, spend-the-night
guests, and their usual num­ber
of "dates".
Opened this term for the first
time, the new home management
house is an attractive two-story
brick model residence with a
tastefully furnished and decorat­ed
interior. It cost $13,000 to
build and equip this house which
is a part of Auburn's recent large
building program.
Visitors to the new house are
shown through with great en­thusiasm
by the six girls now oc­cupying
it. They point out the
spacious and beautiful living room
and dining room, both of which
are finished off with handsome
draperies planned and made by
the home economics girls them­selves.
The all-white kitchen is a
source of pride. Then, too, the
room of Miss Florence Davis, su­pervisor
of the house, is also an
attractive spot.
Upstairs there are three bed­rooms
and a model nursery for
the seven weeks old "campus
baby" soon to arrive. Each of the
bedrooms has furniture of a dif­ferent
period. One is modernistic,
one maple and the other mahog­any.
Mrs. Spidle, dean of the
school of Home Economics, ex­plained
that this plan of* furnish­ing
was arranged to give the girls
a knowledge of different styles.
The girls in the new house seem
to like their surroundings, too,
and they are unanimous in agree­ment
that this work-and-learn-method
is a fascinating way to go
to school.
At an election of officers held
Monday night in the meeting hall
over Burton's Book Store the
members of the Auburn Junior
Chamber of Commerce elected the
following men to serve for the
next six months: President, A. L.
Sanders, Jr.; Vice-president, Paul
Bagley; and members of the Exe­cutive
Committee, Donald L. Rob­ertson,
Joe Sarver, and W. 0.
Richardson. The newly elected of­ficers'
were installed during the
meeting and the newly elected
president appointed John Farn-ham,
Secretary and Jeff, Beard,
Treasurer.

INTER-CHURCH
COUNCIL FORMED
BY STUDENTS
The newly formed Inter-Church
Student Council of API held its
first big meeting last week, adopt­ing
a constitution and electing offi­cers
for the present school year.
The preamble of the constitution
states the purpose of t h e or­ganization—
Whereas it seems wise
that religious organizations among
the students of API s h o u ld
cooperate in the promotion of cer­tain
activities which will tend to
create a better understanding and
foster a concerted program of
Christianity on the campus, it is
fitting that an Inter-Church or­ganization
be constituted.
The membership of the Council
is made up of two representatives
from the student organizations
of each of the various churches,
and the YMCA, and the YWCA.
One of the representatives from .
each church shall be preferably
the president of its student or­ganization.
There shall also be a
minister adviser, who is engaged
in student work, and a faculty
representative.
The officers elected , for the
present school year are President,
Earl Gardner of Gaylesville, rep­resenting
the Baptist Student Un­ion;
Vice-President, Arthur Steele
of Birmingham, representing the
Presbyterian Student Association;
Secretary - Treasurer, M a r t ha

101 Women Students
Transfer Here
One hundred and one women stu­dents
from other colleges have en­rolled
at Auburn for the 1939-40
school year, according to Dr. Rosa
Lee Walston, director of women
students. These girls come from
35 different colleges in states as
widely separated as Wisconsin and
Florida.
Commenting on the large num­ber
of transfers, Dr. Walston said,
"They are, for the most part, Ala-bamians
who have been attracted
by the curriculum which Auburn
offers and by the splendid facili­ties
being provided for women stu­dents.
Many of them have been
honor students in the colleges and
universities from which they are
transfers."
The increased enrollment in wo­men
students represents a gain of
40 per cent over last year.

Dance Club of 1939-40 was held
at the girls' gym at 5 o'clock Wed­nesday.

Tigers Ready for Battle with Southern Tonight
TIGER TALES
By BOOTS STRATFORD
That comment we made last week
about Southern being a wolf in sheep's
clothing becomes more apparent as game
time draws near. Jenks Gillem, Panther
head coach, says that this, the last Bir­mingham-
Southern football team, is one of
the best that he has coached and that, cer­tainly,
the boys on the squad have the fin­est
spirit that he has ever seen. They are
out to write a blazing finish to their
school's gridiron swan song.
BOOTS<SV!ArFZ>flO If you want to see football in the thrill­ing
manner tonight as played by individual stars and stars-to-
be, just keep your eyes on the broken field running of
Jumpin' George Kenmore and Carl Happer, the superb
punting of "Dead Eye Dick" McGowen and Ross Dean, the
line plunging of Charlie Haynesworth, the slashing guard
play of Milton Howell, and the flank work of sophomore
Theo Cremer. . . . And facing these across the scrimmage
line will be such Panther standouts as Dick McMichaels,
dangerous tailback, Joe Petrite, who would make a var­sity
punter in any league you ever saw, and Rutherford
Key, Co-captain and rugged guard.
* * *
Now is the time when all sports writers don their think­ing
caps, peer with glazed and wildly rolling eye into
their crystal balls, feverishly peruse form sheets, — and
make first rate asses out of themselves by trying to fore­cast
football results! No exception are we to the rule, so
here'(s how a few of 'em look to us.
The Orange and Blue of Auburn to fly over the Gold
and Black banner of Birmingham-Southern to the measure
of three touchdowns. . . . Alabama's Crimson Tide to sweep
over the Howard Bulldog four touchdowns deep. . . . The
Rice Owl to fly off with a one-touchdown victory over
Vanderbilt. . . . Tennessee by three touchdowns over
North Carolina State. . . . The Bayou Tigers of L.S.U. to
ease by Ole Miss with six points to spare. . . . Tulane's
Green Wave to wash over Clemson by two touchdowns.
. . . The Fighting Irish of Notre Dame over the Boiler­makers
of Purdue to the tune of twelve points. . . . And
Florida by a touchdown against Texas.
* * *
Small Talk
Auburn has played two games against Big Ten Con­ference
opponents, both ending in ties. 0-0 with Ohio State
in 1917 and 7-7 against Wisconsin in 1931. . . . The Wis­consin
game marked the beginning of Auburn's return to
national eminence. Jimmy Hitchcock was a sophomore
that year. . . . Paul Robeson, famous Negro singer, was
selected by Walter Camp as end on his 1918 All-American
team. Robeson attended school at Rutgers. . . . The height
of something or other—Florida defeated Southern College
by a mere 144-0 score 16 years ago but lost to Auburn
55-0 in a later contest.

Panthers Laying for
Auburn for Last Time
Southern Not to be
Taken too Lightly
With "Beat Southern" as the
theme and "War Eagle" as the
rallying cry, the Auburn student
body will take over Montgomery
tonight to the accompaniment of
waving "rat" caps and the march­ing
music of that great Auburn
band to watch their strong Tiger
team meet Birmingham-Southern's
Panthers for the last time on the
gridiron.
Southern is not to be taken light­ly
by any means; they have many
factors in their favor. First is the
psychological angle which is fully
to the advantage of the Gold and
Black. This is their last football
season and they want to write
"Finis" to collegiate football with
a grand flourish. The small squad
has the greatest "esprit de corps"
of any football team that Jenks
Gillem has ever coached, and he
has coached some mighty spirited
outfits,—ask any Auburn man.
And last, the Plainsmen will be
playing under the handicap of
keeping their scoring plays in the
bag and using only fundamental
Notre Dame offense because Tulane
scouts will be in the stands watch­ing
every formation.
But the Tigers are on the prowl;
they have the makings of a great
team, and they should find Pan­ther
meat to their liking.
The Panthers 'will be led by Co-

Plenty Of Tickets
Left For Most Of
Football Games
Ticket sales for Auburn's games
this fall are moving along steadily,
but ducats are still available to a
number of games.
For the Tulane game, a good
crowd is in prospect but there are
still some good mid-field tickets on
sale which will be available here
up till next Thursday. These tick­ets
are $2.30. Auburn students
making the trip will buy their
tickets at the Tulane stadium.
Mississippi State tickets are still
plentiful in the 40-yard sections
and cost $2.50. Student tickets
will be purchased in Auburn.
For the Georgia Tech game in
Atlanta, 30-yard line tickets are
still obtainable and will cost $2.50.
Auburn students will buy their
tickets at the student ticket gate
at Grant Field.
Extremely high or low seats are
available on the 40-yard line for
the Villanova game in Birmingham
and at all heights on the 30 yard
line. Student tickets will be sold
and Mills at guards, and Getty
Fairchild will probably start at his
center position.
The backfield is harder to tab,
but Bunchy Fowler at quarter,
Dick McGowen at left half, Carl
Happer at right half, and Charlie
Haynesworth at full may be the
starting rearworks combination.
FALL POLO DRILL
TO BE STARTED
The click of mallet against wil­low
sphere and the thunder of
ponies' hooves on the turf of Bul-lard
Field are the signals that fall
polo practice is under way. Prac­tice
began September 18 with 21
candidates reporting to Captain
Jacoby, polo coach, 10 of whom
composed* last year's freshman
squad.
Captain Jacoby stated that the
Tigers will place another top-notch
outfit on the field this year but
will hardly be as strong as last
season's hard riding championship
aggregation. Loss by graduation
of giant Bob McNulty, he of the
mighty mallet, along with Warren
in Auburn. Reserved seats will be
$2.50.
There are plenty of good seats
on sale for the LSU game in Baton
Rouge at $2.50 each.
Tickets for the Georgia game in
Columbus are available only on
the 15-yard line and will cost $2.50.
Student tickets will be sold in Au­burn.
For the homecoming, stadium
dedication game here Thanksgiv­ing
against Florida, the seats from
the 40-yard lines to the goals' are
$2.50 with 50-yard line tickets sell­ing
at $5.00 which includes a sou­venir
ticket.
There are still plenty of good
tickets available for the Tennessee
game at Knoxville. They are
$3.00.
and Franke has put quite a damp­er
on the aspirations of the Plains­men.
But Herren and Schell will
be back in the saddle again, and
they will form the nucleus of the
squad with Armstrong, Blunschi,
Almquist, Hamel, Brown, Vines
and Hall as other leading candi­dates.
Several sophomore pros­pects
may also show unexpected
strength.
In view of limited funds and
the lack of college competition in
the fall, the fall season will be de­voted
entirely to drilling the play­ers
in their assignments and the
training of 13 new ponies. The
training of these remounts is pro­gressing
beautifully and several
fine polo ponies will be developed
for use in the spring season. De­tails
of the spring schedule will
be released later.
There will be freshman polo
practice starting Monday from 3-5
on Monday, Wednesday and Fri­days
for freshmen who have had
riding experience. All freshmen
so interested should report to Cap­tain
Whelchel at the Stables, 3:00
o'clock Monday.

Page Six THE A U B U R N P L A I N S M AN -September 29, 1939
Allan Jones To
Appear In Movie
Here Sunday
Singer is Scheduled to
Appear Here on Concert
Series January 9
Allan Jones, popular tenor who
will appear in Auburn on the Con­cert
Series January 9, is a mem­ber
of the cast of "Honeymoon in
Bali", new screen comedy ro­mance
which will show at the Tig­er
Theatre here Sunday and Mon­day.
Jones will be co-starred with
Fred MacMurray and Madeleine
Carroll and will take what is vir­tually
a straight romantic role.
He is cast as an opera singer who
is willing to accept Madeleine
Carroll on any terms since the
young lady, seen as a self-suffi­cient
department store executive,
seems to prize her independence
above all else.
The famous Jones singing voice
is heard in the picture rendering
two arias, "O! Paradiso" from
Engineers
Continued from page 1
After Dr. Duncan, Dean J. J.
Wilmore, dean of the School of
Engineering spoke of how the
Council and the engineering semi­nar
were realizations of a long
time dream of his. He stated that
the best fact of the plan was that
it teaches the boys to cooperate
with each other and that the en­gineering
seminar movement is of
vital importance to all engineering
students. Dean Wilmore said that
it has long been proven that Au­burn
men had the "stuff" and
could deliver it when the time came.
He also stated that he was glad
to see the engineering students or­ganized
and that they now could
"L'Africana," and "Celeste Aida"
from "Aida."
Allan Jones was singing in the
choir of big churches when he was
eight years old. He is said to have
inherited his fine tenor voice
from his father, who held a posi­tion
with a large coal mining
corporation in Pennsylvania. In
his teens Allan became a mine lab­orer
in order to make money for
taking additional music lessons.
Concerts also provided him with
money for study in Europe.

Two Leagues Organized
With 12 Teams Enrolled
Intramural sports for indepen­dent

league.
have a strong voice in the political
affairs of the campus.
Prof. H. M. Martin, speaking for
Dean C. L. Hare, assured the
group that the School of Chemis­try
is behind the plan 100 per cent.
I. F. McConnell, chief engineer
of the Alabama Public Service
Commission, was presented and
told of an old grad's viewpoint
of the unification.
The first speaker will be Hugh
Comer, vice-president of the Avon-dale
Mills, and the date is Mon­day,
October 9. All the engineers
are asked to be present at this
meeting. Mr. Comer will be the
first of a series of eight prominent
men in all fields of engineering
and chemistry.
The all-campus tennis singles
will also start on the same day.
There are 64 players entered in
the tournament to date. Tennis
games will be played on the YMCA
courts across from Broun Hall and
at the Country Club courts.
Last year's winning team in
touch football, Rew's Wildcats,
will head the list of teams enter­ed
in the two leagues. League I
will be composed of Wittel Dormi­tory,
Owen's Tuff Boys, Rew's
Wildcats, Vet Hill, Terrell's, and
the YMCA teams. Composing

You'll find in Chesterfield's RIGHT

from Chesterfields. You'll like them.
