STUDENTS TO STA6E PARADE
IN BIRMINGHAM TOMORROW
To the Students-
Dear Friends:
Because we believe that a college should provide to its
students the means whereby an individual may develop a
philosophy of life that will guide him in the formation of
his reactions to the circumstances whether good or bad
which may arise as he journeys along the highway of life,
and
Because we believe with complete sincerity that no
philosophy of life can be sound and true when it ignores
spiritual values, and
Because we know that the essence of character is a spir­itual
and not a material value, and
Because we believe that our students are deeply con­cerned
with the perplexing problems of what to believe
and what to do in a world that is in turmoil, and
Because it is the dictum of the history of mankind that
the burden of warfare and chaos falls first and heaviest
upon the youth of the world,
We have encouraged the establishment on the campus
of a week of emphasis upon the spiritual values of life.
We earnestly hope that you will join us in the services
that have been arranged, and that these services will con­tribute
to the formation upon your part of an attitude to­ward
life that will provide strength and support to you
whenever you shall need them.
Sincerely yours,
L. N. Duncan
On. <JOHN A. DAVISON
Dr. John A. Davison, who will
be in charge of Religious Em­phasis
Week, beginning here Sun­day
night. The theme of his ad­dresses
will be "The Life Worth
While."
He will deliver two addresses
each day and will be in charge of
several of the open forum discus­sions.

or not he is able to report to the
center.
Illness of any student living in
a fraternity must be reported by
the housemother of the fraternity.
A fine is to be assessed on stu­dents
who demand unnecessary
house calls.

THETA UPSILON
WILL AWARD CUP
TO AUBURN COED
Iota Alpha chapter of Theta
Upsilon announced this week that
it is offering a loving cup to the
most representative Auburn girl.
This award is open to any woman
student and will be on the basis
of leadership, scholarship, and citi­zenship.
The qualities to be judged un­der
leadership will be personality,
campus activities, membership in
organizations, and responsibility
assumed in these organizations.
The scholarship requirement
needs no explanation.
Under citizenship the qualities
to be considered will be character
and sportsmanship.
The decision will be in the
hands of a committee composed
of faculty and students. This cup
is to be offered annually and the
award will be made at the last
convocation before commence­ment.
This announcement was made
at convocation on Thursday by
Helen Porch, president of Theta
Upsilon.
Extensive Repairs
Being Conducted
In Smith Hall
To be Occupied by School
Of Home Economics After
Completion of Quadrangle
A number of improvements are
under way on Smith Hall, which
will be taken over by the School
of Home Economics as soon as
the new Women's Quadrangle is
completed. It is being used now
as a girls' dormitory and as head­quarters
for the director of wom­en
students.
The most noticeable improve­ment
is a new central staircase in
the foyer. Of Georgian design, it
was planned by Prof. F. M. Orr
who is serving as architect for the
project, which is being carried
out under the supervision of the
Plant Service Department.
All partitions on the ground
floor have been removed, making
one large senior foods laboratory
and two offices for the School of
Home Economics. The dining
room has been enlarged, and by
employment of accordion doors
will seat from 50 to 60 people at
luncheon or dinner. Across from
the dining room is a large recep­tion
room for guests.
When the girls move, the sec­ond
floor will be taken over. Here
there will be two large clothing
labs, dressing rooms, storage
space, and offices. There will also
be one classroom, and the mez­zanine
floor will be used as a lab­oratory
and lecture room for the
housing courses.
Auburn Ready to Win
Over State Maroons
Governors of Two States Expected to
Participate in Pre-Came Activities
All Auburn students and supporters in Birmingham wilf
participate in a pre-game parade to be held just before
noon tomorrow in the Magic City, Pep Manager Billy
Smith announced today. He has asked that it be made the
largest parade in Auburn history. It will form at 11:10 at
the Terminal Station.
The governors of both Alabama and Mississippi are ex­pected
to ride at the head of the parade, which will be

1939 Glomerafa
Ranks Among Best
Twelve Annuals
Last Year's Yearbook
Wins First Class Rating
In Annual Competition
Charles Kelley, editor of this
year's Glomerata, announced yes­terday
that the 1939 issue of the
Glomerata had been awarded the
first class rating by the National
Scholastic Press Association's Col­legiate
Publications board. The
award was a plaque with the fol­lowing
inscription; "First class
rating, Glomerata, Alabama Poly­technic
Institute."
Dr. E. Phillips Beeden of the
School of Journalism at the Uni­versity
of Alabama is a member
of the board which judged the
college annuals, the judging hav­ing
been held this summer at the
University of Minnesota. The
Glomerata was credited with hav­ing
a more efficient financial ar­rangement
than any other South­ern
College annual. Only five oth­er
annuals of the 50 in the same
division as the Glomerata received
the first class rating this year.
Six others received the AH-Amer-ican
rating, the highest rating a
college annual can be given. This
places the Glomerata in the na­tion's
first twelve Collegiate an­nuals.
Perry Schwartz, now in Auburn
working for the Campus Planning
Board, was editor of the prize-winning
volume. Curty Farley,
graduate last spring in textile en­gineering
and now employed by
the Callaway Mills in LaGrange,
Ga., was business manager.
mobiles decorated with orange
and blue streamers will follow the
official cars, and students will
march behind the automobiles.
The parade will form immedi­ately
on the arrival of the train
bringing the band from Auburn.
Governor Hugh White of Missis­sippi
and Governor Frank M. Dix­on
will meet at the station at
11:15.
Billy Smith has requested that
all students who possibly can, as­semble
for the parade. "Lots of
cars will be needed," said Smith,
"so if you have one, get it to the
station on time." The Birming­ham
Junior Chamber of Com­merce
will furnish orange and
blue streamers for each car tak­ing
part.
The parade will make its way
down Fifth Avenue, and will
terminate somewhere in the down­town
district.
Plans for a huge pre-game pep
rally, to follow the parade, were
cancelled yesterday, when city of­ficials
stated that it would be im­possible
to block o f f certain
down-town streets. This informa­tion
was given Pep Manager Smith
in a phone call from Hayden
Brooks of the Alumni Association
yesterday. Mr. Brooks stated that
all preparations for the week-end's
activities had been made.
The football game, which prom­ises
to be one of the best of the
season, will begin at 2:00 o'clock.
Mississippi State, as yet undefeat­ed
this season, and blood-thirsty
after last year's defeat by the
Tigers, will be anxious for a win,
but the Auburn team, in better
shape than it has been yet this
season, is ready for a fight to
the finish.
Governor White will be honored
with a banquet at 8:00 tonight, in
the Tutwiler Hotel, by the Bir-

Montgomery Thinks
It Over
AT LEAST A FEW people in
Montgomery are giving some
thought to the problem of the
treatment of Auburn students
hitch-hiking through the capital
city.
Last Friday's Plainsman car­ried
an editorial, "Think It Over,
Montgomery," on the subject.
Both Montgomery dailies re­printed
it, one on the front page.
One resident of Montgomery has
already written us, approving
the stand taken by Auburn stu­dents
and opposing the attitude
of the city police.
Frankly, we have been able to
obtain no more information on
the matter. Whether any more
students have been arrested or
run outside the city limits, we
have not been able to determine.
But so far as we know the threat
is still there. Maybe students are
being allowed to travel in peace.
Or today may be the day when
more are rounded up and cart­ed
off to the jail.
There are 3500 students here
at Auburn who are waiting with
interest to see if Montgomery
thinks it over enough to extend a
hand of welcome instead of or­ders
to get out of town.
Lucky Auburn .
THE DEFERRED rushing ques­tion,
which has been debated
in the tournament this week, has
inspired numerous bull sessions
on the subject of fraternities. In
all of these discussions one out­standing
fact has come to light
about Auburn and fraternities.
Auburn is one of t h e few
schools in the country, perhaps
the only one, in which fraterni­ties
are independent of school su­pervision.
In some colleges a
lodge can't buy a can of beans
without official approval. The
fraternities are little more than
glorified c o l l e g e dormitories.
When the university cracks the
whip, the fraternity presidents
hop through the hoop.
The Auburn fraternity is an
independent organization, set­ting
its own aims and working
toward them through its own
means. It has to take no orders
and toe no line of restrictions.
About the only time the college
takes any part in fraternity ac­tivities
is when some chapter
brings a problem before it or
wants to borrow money to build
a house on college property.
The efficient Interfraternity
Council, composed of students
and one faculty adviser, works
out fraternity problems with fa­cility
a n d thoroughness. Of
course, there are matters which
have not been solved, perhaps
may never be, but the Interfra­ternity
Council is doing a better
job than could be done in almost
any other way.
With one or two exceptions
the fraternities are on a sound
financial basis. Auburn has one
of the best groups of fraternity
houses of any campus anywhere. ,
Nearly all are modern and;iweUi|
kept, three of them having.been £
built in the last two years. :
Low quality fraternities are
not the rule in Auburn. Compar­ed
with some of the disgraces
which pass as fraternities on oth­er
campuses, Auburn is outstand­ing.
In any appraisal of the frater­nity
situation here it would be
unfair to leave out the name of
the man who has done much to­ward
putting the chapters on the
sound basis on which they stand.
That man is Professor J. M. Rob­inson.
Consistently, not by force
but by advising, he has done
more than his part in retaining
the precious independence which
Auburn fraternities enjoy.
Congratulations For
Promptness
CONGRATULATIONS, students,
on your fine cooperation with
the efforts of the Glomerata
staff and with the photographer.
The staff has spent much time
and effort in trying to secure
this cooperation and you have
responded in a very commend­able
manner. According to the
photographer, your attitude has
been far superior to that of pre­vious
years in that you have re­sponded
both promptly and will­ingly
to your appointments. The
Glomerata staff and the pho­tographer
both thank you whole­heartedly.
If you continue this response,
and every indication is that you
will, the photographer will fin­ish
his job on or about Novem­ber
1.
The appointments are being
made so that the photographer
can have ample time to take ev­ery
student's picture and avoid
the hustle and bustle of that last
minute rush. S.G.N.
Cut It Out, Kids
WHEN A BOY or girl enters col­lege
he or she is stepping from
the so called "kid" days into
manhood or womanhood. This
step should affect the conduct of
the person who is making the
change. As college students, boys
and girls are supposed to act
grown up. They are older and
more mature, and the wild
thoughts and ideas that formerly
ran through their heads should
be discarded.
We have noticed that many of
the freshmen, and a few upper-classmen,
when in classes, are
quite unruly and disorderly. In
some c l a s s e s pandemonium
reigns and the poor, bewildered
teacher is almost ready to resign
his position. Many of the students
talk, whistle, and even resort to
yelling to one another, during
many of the recitation periods.
There is absolutely no form of
politeness or courtesy shown the
professor.
Several students, especially
freshmen, have remarked that
they are learning nothing under
certain professors, and these stu­dents
want to change their in­structor.
They claim that the in­structor
knows nothing about his
subject. In most of these cases
the student is at fault and not the
instructor. Seemingly, the stu­dent
fails to realize that talking
in class and not paying attention
are two main markers along the
road to failure.
It seems that somewhere in
the academic setup a little disci­pline
could be injected to obtain
more order during class periods.
It is interesting to note the or­der
and discipline that is found
in the ROTC classes. The army
instructors are a good model to
pattern after. They demand dis­cipline
and they see that they
get it. A little more of this strict­ness
in obedience in other class-in
S
es would be a great factor to­ward
helping the student to
learn something.
; If the boy or girl entering col­lege
does not feel grown up
enough to do away with such dis­orderly
action during classes,
then it is up to the professors to
step in and demand the obedi­ence
that they are due. Disci­pline
is not necessarily punish­ment,
but more often it is a help­ful
agent to thfe student. Many
boys and girls will appreciate the
discipline and training they re­ceived
in college when they get
out and mingle with the rest of
the world. B.C.
Letters to the Editor
Well?
By John Ivey, Jr.
ZhtiU H/E?
Editor's Note: The opinions expressed in this
column are those of the writer and are not to
be construed as the editorial policies of this
paper.
SINCE THE START of the European
conflict, the American public has been
literally smothered under a flood of
propaganda from both groups of bel­ligerents.
Many pub­lications
have brought
out their dusty prints
of similar material
circulated in t h is
country during t he
previous World War.
They have made com­ments
about the way
public opinion was
swayed by such re­productions
f e d to
Americans as accu­rate
exhibitions of ex­isting
conditions on
the scene of the struggle.
The same editors have then made a
complete about face and printed brand
new propaganda depicting German out­rages
on innocent Poles or other defense­less
peoples in the area of military ac­tivity.
Underneath these pictures they
have inserted "readers" that reek with
the stench of comments meant to mold
public opinion.
The following was copied from a
"reader" appearing on the front page
of one of Alabama's largest daily news­papers
:
"And so the 'glories' of war have
come . . . come and gone . . . for the
Poles, as you can readily see from Photo
No. 1. This Polish boy sits beside a
sack of potatoes apparently unable to
comprehend that German warbirds have
come and gone; and that his mother,
lying there on the ground, is dead. Seven
women and a boy were picking potatoes
near Warsaw. A German airplane
changed its drone into a roar. Staccato
yammering of a machine gun—two
women are dead. It may be that they
were shot dead because they were plan­ning
an air raid on Berlin, or the as­sassination
of Hitler. Everyone knows
that Hitler doesn't bomb anything but
military objectives. Why he said so him­self
last week."
The newspaper has always been one
of the chief means of molding public
opinion. The people of this country have
learned to take the syndicated news ar­ticles
appearing in their favorite news
organs as being free from "-opinion or
fallacious reports. However, when a
newspaper violates this sacred trust by
such exhibitions at a time when the pub­lic
deserves to be informed of facts in­stead
of one editor's opinion under the
shroud of what is supposedly a news
item, the editor is breaking his trust
with his reading public.
It was just such preying on public
opinion that played a leading role in
sending this country headlong into the
last war. There are rows upon rows of
white crosses on some plots of ground
in France that serve as grim reminders
of what awaits the youth of this nation
if we again fall victims to such unwar­ranted
influences.
The newspapers of this country can
make the citizens of this country ready
to fight, or they can mold the minds of
the reading public in such channels as
to realize the folly of participating in
another European conflict. The chal­lenge
is certainly of the utmost impor­tance.

Plans to take the ROTC unit to Bir­mingham
for the Armistice Day struggle
between Auburn and Villanova are now
under way. This would, necessitate quite
a great deal of expense on the part of
the college, but it seems that the cause
is a worthy one.
Several times the entire student body
has been taken to Montgomery for sim­ilar
events. The colorful parades and
exhibitions by the Auburn Band and the
cheerleaders have done much to give the
Capital City folk a good insight into
the Auburn way of doing things.
It seems altogether fitting that such
an event be planned for our second and
last trip to Birmingham this season. The
Magic City has never really seen Auburn
Editor,
The Auburn Plainsman
Dear Sir:
I read "What this town needs is some
place to go at night" by Herbert Mar­tin.
Mr. Martin is 100% correct.
Something on the order of Mr. God-bold's
plan of last year sounds good to
me. Why couldn't the college invest a
few dollars in an electric phonograph?
Then you might charge a nickel or so
for admission fee.
While you are planning this "some­thing
to do a t night," do not forget the
fact that some of the students do not
dance. You might reserve a small space
for ping pong, shuffle board, etc. For
spring some lighted tennis courts would-not
be objectionable.
Probably if you talked with the Dean
of Women (Dr. Walston) she might co­operate.
After all she should be inter­ested
in the girls having a wholesome
recreational center to go to.
I am sincerely hoping that this plan
for somewhere to go at night goes
through. It will not mean much to me
personally because I graduate in Jan­uary.
However, the ones that stay here
certainly need some recreational cen­ter,
some "place to go at night."
Sincerely,
Sarah Hardwick.

The Glomerata
Gentlemen:
The Plainsman staff issues to the
staff of the Glomerata a challenge to
meet them in a game of touch foot­ball
next Tuesday afternoon as soon
as the paper is off the press.
If it is not possible to play the game
at that time the challenge holds good
for anytime next week when we're not
putting out the paper.
Rules to be followed are the stand­ard
touch football rules with any modi­fications
that may be agreed on by
both staffs.
Sincerely yours,
The Plainsman,

With the Co-ops—By A. Fred Henning
SECTION A, now in school, is made up
of some interesting fellows who rep­resent
many engineering jobs through­out
the state. Let's get acquainted with
these fellows and find out something
about them, their jobs, and their em­ployers.
To do this let's start at the "begin-'
ning" and say a little something about
the first, and incidentally the smallest,
class of co-ops. This class, now boasting
a roster of 17 names, is the present
pre-junior class. Eight of this 17 en­tered
Auburn in September, 1937, as the
first co-operative students to attend
classes at the Alabama Polytechnic Ins­titute.
The remaining nine have joined
this class since that time.
Some of these men entered the first
class as transfers from neighboring ins­titutions.
Some changed over to the
co-operative plan from the regular-stu­dent
plan, and one of the group trans­ferred
to this section from Section B.
Those members of the pre-junior class
who are employed by the Tennessee Coal,
Iron, and Railroad Company are Harry
DeWitt, D. J. MacKnight, H. C. McClan-ahan,
Robert Sawyer, Van Seelbinder,
and George Willard.
The five employed by the Alabama
Power Company are O. W. Baxter, A.
Fred Henning, Hans Van Aller, Homer
Weaver, and Melvin White. Another
of the pre-juniors, E. C. Gentle, is em­ployed
by the Southern Bell Telephone
and Telegraph. J. Frank Suttle's part-time,
co-operative job is with the Pull­man
Standard Manufacturing Company,
while Ray Ewald's is with the Aluminum
Ore Company. Of the pre-junior class
only two, J. H. Lee and L. P. Knight,
are as yet unassigned to co-operative
jobs.
In this group, though small as it is,
there are representatives from many in­teresting
fields of work and study. For
example, two of the members, Ray Ewald
and John Telfair, are former students
at the United States Military Academy.
Still another, Hans Van Aller, is a for­mer
student at the United States Naval
Academy. As you've probably guessed,
these men have some interesting tales
to tell about their stay at these institu­tions.
Speaking of tales, D. J. MacKnight,
who served four years in the United
States Marine Corps before coming to
school here in 1937, certainly "puts his
audience out to sea" with his tales of
the Marine Corps.

"The Cotton Kingdom in Alabama"
DR. CHARLES S. DAVIS of the Au­burn
history department is the au­thor
of a book, "The Cotton Kingdom
in Alabama," which went on sale last
week.
Dealing with the plantation system in
Alabama before the War Between the
States, the book also describes commer­cial
and financial aspects of the cotton
era in Alabama.

rallies led by the band and cheerleaders.
A parade of the ROTC group on Armis­tice
day prior to the football game would
make the name of Auburn mean more
to the citizens of Birmingham.

There have been many stories told
about the confusion that exists in the
minds of some certain individuals that
have taken the teaching profession for
their life's work. However, we were
startled by a pretty good story on one
of our present boasters of great intel­ligence.
It seems that this aforementioned
master-mind made a trip to Montgomery
in his automobile. He spent the day
attending to various matters that did
not require the service of his car. The
four-wheeled mechanical contraption was
resting quietly in a parking lot.
After finishing all his business, the
professor went down tu the railroad sta­tion,
bought a ticket to Auburn. He
climbed on the train with a good picture
magazine for company and made the
uneventful trip back.
Just before he arrived he remembered
that he had lelt some little matter un­finished
in Montgomery, namely that of
getting his auto out of the parking lot.
He immediately went up town and
bought a round-trip bus ticket to Mont­gomery.
Of course he suffered a mild
case of anger when he climbed into his
auto and wondered why he still had the
bus ticket left . . . the other half of
his two-way purchase.
The volume deals with the historical
aspects of the slavery period in Alabama,
also delving deeply into the personal
lives and habits of Alabama cotton plant­ers
and their slaves.
Most of the material is from original
sources including letters, diaries, news­papers,
and other old documents studied
during a year's travel over the state and
in the Congressional Library in Wash­ington.
Attractively bound in a red cover and
printed on especially attractive paper,
the volume has already aroused interest
over the state. Judge Walter B. Jones
of Montgomery reviewed the book in his
column "Off the Bench", which appeared
in the Montgomery Advertiser last Mon­day.
Dr. Davis was born in Mobile and
graduated from Murphy High there. He
entered Auburn in 1927 and graduated
in 1931. During his senior year he serv­ed
as business manager of the Plainsman
and was a Spade, an ODK, and a mem­ber
of Scabbard and Blade.
In 1932 he returned to Auburn and
received the M.S. degree in history. He
taught for a year and a half at the
Southern Military Academy at Greens­boro,
then came back to Auburn in 1934
for a half-year appointment in the his­tory
department.
During the summer of 1934 he began
work on his Ph.D. degree at the Uni­versity
of California. The following
year he continued his work at Duke
University where he had been awarded
a fellowship in Southern history on the
basis of his Auburn M.S. thesis, "Ra­phael
Semmes". In 1938 he received his
Ph.D. degree from Duke, having sub­mitted
as his dissertation the volume
which was published last week.
For a short time during 1936-37 he
was connected with the Alabama De­partment
of Archives and History as a
field collector. In 1937 he returned to
Auburn as assistant professor of history,
a position which he still holds.
Plains Talk
By Herbert Martin
Editor's Note: The opinions expressed in this
column are those of the writer and are not to
be construed as the editorial policies of this
paper.
AND THE SKEETERS wuz big as
horseflies! At least, that's the way
it was when the Plainsman truck with
its load of hay and folks shivered to
a stop Monday night. The steak-frying
fire routed the vicious insects, and a
lovely time was had by all, except Kelley,
who lost his britches.
Are True-False tests fair? They do
not test knowledge, for too much know­ledge
can be almost as bad as too lit­tle.
There is no halfway mark. You
miss a question or get it; the professor
has no way of knowing whether you
are thinking or not. A big part of the
grading is based upon the ability to
read the mind of the professor, rather
than upon a knowledge of the subject.
Professors who count off double for
misses recognize that the whole thing is
a gamble. In most types of quizzes if a
student gets four out of five questions
right, it shows that his knowledge covers
80 per cent of the subject, at least of
that portion covered on the quiz. If
you miss one question out of five, you
are credited with knowing 60 per cent
of the quiz, or, as it is a matter of
chance, you are credited with guessing
60 per cent right.
The big disadvantage of this type of
quiz is that there is no premium placed
on thinking. The more thought used on
a question, the more chance there is
that you can find some little thing
wrong with it. Result . . . not knowing
exactly what the professor based his
question on, you lose double the value
of the question because you guessed
blindly!

The Opening Dances bid fair to once
again take their place among the three
major dance sets. Attendance dropped
to a minimum the past few years, but
this year with the new dance plan and
Russ Morgan, who incidentally shows
another side in his radio broadcasts by
dishing out a little really fine swing, a
crowd should gather.
The Social Committee is getting back
on its collective feet after several lean
years, and this year may prove to be a
great year for Auburn dance lovers.
Maybe we'll be able to look down some
day at our grandchillun and say that
we were in school that year when the
menace of discontinuing the three major
dance sets was definitely averted for all
time.
Acceptance of the new dance plan in­sures
good attendance at the night
dances, and the chances are that fra­ternity
men will take this opportunity
to have that cute little gal from home
come up and take a look at the brothers.
Don't be left out by thinking that this
year's dances will follow in the footsteps
of those of past years. Make your plans
now to add your bit of true-to-you-you-hope
femininity to the among-those-presents
at the brawl.

Everybody goes everywhere too fast.
As one old fellow whom I caught a ride
with this summer remarked, seeing one
of these second-savers shoot by, "There
goes another fool in a hurry to get some
place and do nuthin'."
We have a choice in regulating our
speed through things in general. It's
up to us whether we want to see a little
of a lot or a lot of a little. Don't forget
that a little specialized knowledge that
few people have is often much more
valuable than a smattering of things
which everyone knows.
To take a common example, we can
cover a mile walking in approximately
15 minutes. We get more out of this
walk than we would if we rode by at a
mile a minute, or if we ran the mile in
five or six minutes. Think of how much
more really important knowledge we
could acquire if we should make an ex­haustive
study of things that we cover
in the first step. By means of a magni­fying
glass and microscope we may be­come
acquainted with a world of which
we were never before conscious.
Remember this. The really important
things are not necessarily those which
catch the eye at the first brief glance.
An ounce of gold is worth more than
scads of cotton.

Karrie, the Kampus' Kwietest Koed,
is worried about the library situation.
"If," states Karrie, "the colloge can't
afford rugs or regulate the nocturnal
strolling of several freshman (?) gals
who use the aisles for promenade paths,
it seems that funds could be secured for
oiling the doors. I realize that when
the new library wing is opened up, things
will be better, but right now that squeaky
door is disconcertin', to say the least!"

THIRTY-FIVE STUDENTS ATTENDING
API UNDER NEW NYA COOPERATIVE
All Able to Go to School
With Almost no Expense
Nineteen boys and 16 girls are
attending Auburn this year under
the new National Youth Admin­istration
resident project. All stu­dents
are native Alabamians.
The new cooperative students
are under the supervision of B.
L. Ward and Miss Elizabeth Mar­tin,
boys' and girls' supervisors
respectively. The 16 girls are
housed in the residence formerly
occupied by the. nursery school,
while the boys are living in two
of the cottages in Graves Center.
By taking a three-fourths load
of school work during the regular
session and the other fourth of
their scholastic work during the
summer session, they will grad­uate
in four years. The boys and
girls each work a total of 70
hours a month, and all expenses
of going to college are paid out
of their work. Each must main­tain
an average grade of 80 in
order to remain on the co-op plan.
The girls' work is composed of
planning, cooking, and serving the
meals for themselves and the boys.
They also assist the home eco­nomics
department in sewing and
other work. The girls' house on
East Thach is now being remodel­ed
by the boys and the girls are
redecorating the interior. Miss
Martin is training the girls in the
preparing of adequate menus and
in home management.
The boys are doing work on
projects related to the courses in
which they are enrolled. Examples
of their work include assisting in
the library, the plant service, ex­tension
service, pharmacy depart­ment,
biochemistry laboratory,
textile department, dairy depart­ment,
and other jobs with vari­ous
departments of the college.
The NYA resident project
should not be confused with the
college NYA program, for the
two are separate units. The NY-ARP
is an experimental venture
of the federal government in co­operative
education facilities for
boys and girls who would not oth­erwise
be able to attend college,
and who, nevertheless, have the
ability to do good college work.
The continuance of projects of
this type will depend on the suc­cess
of the undertaking this year
at Auburn and other colleges.
At a recent dinner held at the
co-op girls' house with food pre­pared
and served by the girls,
President L. N. Duncan was guest
and spoke to these boys and girls.
He complimented the students on
their ambition and enthusiasm to
obtain an education and invited
them to take an active part in all
campus activities and organiza­tions
as well as church work.
The girls participating in the
resident co-op plan and their
courses are Betty Lou Durham,
elementary education; Jean Arm­strong,
science and literature;
Burmah Baxter, science and lit­erature;
Thera Hyde, home eco­nomics;
Clyde Dykes, home eco­nomics;
Minerva Robinson, busi­n
e s s administration; Virginia
Shoultz, laboratory technique;
Evelyn Miller, laboratory tech­nique;
Lois Oliver, business ad­ministration;
Opia Dunn, home

home economics education; Mazie
Nelson, home economics; Alma
Mae Bentley, secondary educa­tion;
Margaret Dykes, home eco­nomics;
Lena Thomas, science and
literature; and Mary Lazzari,
home economics.
The boys and their courses are
W. B. Acker, agriculture; John
Barton, aeronautical engineering;
Earl Cleghorn, agriculture; Maley
Cofield, education; J. T. Cope,
Jr., agriculture; Edward Cox,
pharmacy; Alfred Faulk, pre-dentistry;

Thirty-One Tons
Of Coeds on Campus
Six Guys to Each
Gal is New Ratio
Sixty-two thousand pounds of
coed is a lot of coed. And when
one adds about ip,000 pounds to
that to make up for the self-un­derestimation
of the average A-merican
woman — there's even
more coed. Anyway, Auburn has
that much coed poundage. More
or less, of course, but our esti­mation
is as good as yours—bet­ter,
we think.
To discover this amazing fact
one of the Plainsman's reporters
rounded up statistics on 20 of Au­burn's
coeds, supposedly represen­tative,
from the zoos, the stadium,
Ag Hollow, the drill field, et al,
and wherever the rest of 'em hang
out. With the mass of statistics
gathered from this inquisition, the
reporter put her agile brain vto
work and presented a typical Au­burn
coed. And here she is: (you
can have her; we don't want her.)
"Miss Auburn" is five feet,
four inches tall, weighs 114 (?)
pounds, and is 20 years old.
If the Auburn coeds were all
athletically inclined, and if "Miss
Auburn's" size is accepted as ty­pical
of all of them, the girls

but since graduation has been an

might stand on top of each other,
feet to head and head to feet, to
reach a total height of some 2933
feet, or half again the height of
the Empire State Building, if we
remember the height of the Em­pire
State Building correctly.
The combined ages of the girls
(not adding for underestimation
this time) is something like 10,-
000 years, or enough to assure
some one lucky person of earthly
permanency until 11,939 A.D.
All things being equal, each co­ed
could have about six different
boy friends on her string, with­out
infringing on the rights of
any of the other dames. Some of
'em might even have seven boys,
without going out of the lawful
limits of API, because there are
exactly 6 2/11 boys for each girl
on the campus.

Enrollment in Auburn's school

of 25 per cent according to figures
released here by Prof. L. S. Blake,
head of the pharmacy depart­ment.
There are 64 students in phar­macy
this year compared with 51
last year. Prof. Blake believes
that the increase is a reflection
of general business conditions.

MAROONS ARE SURPRISE TEAM OF
SOUTHEASTERN CONFERENCE
By BOOTS STRATFORD
With team spirit high and aerial offense sharpened,
those fighting Auburn Tigers clash with the marauding
Maroons of Mississippi State, surprise team of the South­eastern
Conference, tomorrow at Legion Field, Birmingham.
The Staters have run over Howard, 45-0, smashed the
Arkansas Razorbacks, 19-0, and have licked Florida, 12-0
in games played up to date and are doped to rack up an­other
win at the expense of the Orange and Blue tomorrow.
Certain it is that Auburn will not find the Maroons to be
as easy pickings as they were last year in Montgomery and
the year before in Birmingham.
State will bring to Birmingham a versatile team, po­tent
in both aerial and ground
games, while their unscored on
record speaks loudly enough for
their powerful rush wall. Only
weakness lies in the punting de­partment
and little "Hunk"
Chambers, tail back and clutch
runner for the Maroons, may
more than nullify Auburn's ad­vantages
along this line with his
devastating punt returns. Cham­bers,
who also does most of the
pitching for the Staters, is a ter­ror
in a broken field and may
well break up the ball game with
one of his elusive climax swoops.
Teaming with Chambers in the
rear work will be Jack Nix, wing
back who specializes in reverses
and pass snatching. It will be re­membered
that Nix is the gentle­man
who flagged a honey of a
pass for a touchdown that put
State very much in the game last
year in Montgomery. If Spec Kel-ley

shortly after, there's no telling
what might have happened in that
ball game, and this year the Ma­roons

stronger. Which all adds up to
plenty of poison for the Plains­men.
But Auburn, with the finest
pair of left halfbacks in the south,
Dick McGowen and George Ken-more,
is not to be sold short. The
towering punts that boom off the
right toe of Dynamite Dick Mc­Gowen
can possibly be the mar­gin
of victory for the Tigers if
"Hunk" Chambers can be bottled
up as he gathers in those boots.
"Jumpin' George" Kenmore may
show Chambers a few tricks with
his sparkling, "quick" running,
and he, along with McGowen. pos­sesses
a potent pitching arm that
will probably connect with quite
a few strikes to Carl Happer,
Teedy Faulk and Charlie Haynes-worth.
Faulk looked mighty g o od
against Tulane, and he, Theo
Cremer, right flankman, and Bud­dy
McMahan, underslung blocking
back, will be three sophomores
who have fought their way into
starting berths from second and
third team positions.
Auburn's pass defense and line
play will have to be considerably
better than it was against Tulane
to win this ball game, but some­how,
those Tigers seem to get
"right" in Birmingham—remem­ber
the LSU game last year and
the State affair the year before
—so we'll just string along with
the Orange and Blue.

OUTSTANDING PLAY OF GUARDS TO
BE FEATURE OF GAME TOMORROW
Fans looking for the spectacular in football games gen­erally
focus their eyes upon the backfield performers, but
it is almost a certainty that the Auburn and Mississippi
State guards are going to come through with an exhibition
at Legion Field in Birmingham tomorrow that will be as ad­mirable
and as interesting as any to be credited to the ball
carriers. And it is believed that the spectators will be more
than rewarded if they watch the A-l guards in action in the
only Southeastern Conference grid struggle of the week
between the Tigers and Delta State Bulldogs.
The starting guards for both Auburn and State are
high-class linemen and not many grid contests in the coun­try
this season will offer the fans any better action next to
center than the Tigers and Bull­dogs
are slated to place in the
books Saturday in the Magic City.
Leading guards in the Auburn-
State classic probably will be Mil­ton
Howell, Ernest Mills, Guy Mc­Dowell
and Hunter Corhern.
Captain Howell is the Bengals'
candidate for all-American hon­ors
and the 190-pound McDowell
is being praised by Auburn scouts
as the No. 1 enemy guard they

BOOTS' •STXATFoZD
And while in a predicting mood, we
might as well pick a f ew winners for
the week-end.
Duke, with a somewhat weaker de­fense
than last year's unscored-on eleven
but with offense clicking sweetly, to get
by Pitt with a margin of two touchdowns.
Holy Cross, bouncing back from that LSU surprise
package and with Georgia unnerved over that Fur-man
fiasco, to annihilate the Bulldogs by four touch­downs,
i
Howard Jones' men of Troy to smash aside Illinois
to the tune of three touchdowns.
The Sooners of Oklahoma to trounce Texas by
three six-pointers.
The Army, because we've always strung along with
the Kaydets ,over Lou Little's Columbians by one
touchdown. (Hope Little hasn't another Luckman up
his sleeve to throw strikes like he did in last year's
affair.)
North Carolina, riding high and paced by Jim La-lane,
to crack NYU wide open by a two-touchdown
margin.
The Irish of old Notre Dame have just been pid­dling
around and are just about ready to loose some
dynamite at the SMU Mustangs. The Green by three
touchdowns.
Texas A & M to halt Villanova's undefeated streak
by one touchdown.
Texas Christian to bounce back and smack Temple
down by a touchdown.
LSU, after having wandered far from her beaten
path in the last year, to keep in the groove they start­ed
against Holy Cross by bowling over the Rice Owls
by a couple of six-pointers.
The rowdy-dow, golden era at LSU has ended according
to Dr. Paul Herbert, acting University president. That
means no more cross-country football excursions, no more
student loans and fewer holidays for the University stu­dents,
and it's all the result of last Monday's demonstra­tion,
supposedly in celebration of the Holy Cross victory.
Girls dormitories were picketed, professors were threaten­ed
and the dean of the University was locked in his room
and had to make his escape out the window. It was some­thing
like Auburn's disgraceful annual freshman raid on
a little larger scale, but LSU's patience, of necessity, is far
shorter than Auburn's and, therefore, student's privileges
have been curtailed.

Outstanding Guards
* Continued from page 4
semer's foremost grid luminary
this season, nor McDowell started
in the 1938 Auburn-State battle.
Howell was on the injured list
and did not see service in the
game, but McDowell saw consid­erable
service as a reserve ' and
looked unusually good as a soph­omore.
Experience of last season
was what he needed and he and
Captain Howell are going %o run
a close race for top line honors in
Birmingham Saturday.
Guard running mates of How­ell
and McDowell, Mills and Cor-hern,
both were in the starting
lineups when Auburn and State
clashed in 1938. The reliable Mills
manned the ace right guard slot
for the Bengals and Corhern was
at the same spot for the Mississip­pi
eleven. They emerged with
more than their share of glory in
right guard slot for the Bengals
and improved plenty with sea­soning
and are half of the chief
reasons why Auburn and State
boast of top-flight guard combina­tions
this year.

ALL-WOMEN SHOW
TO PLAY HERE
THIS WEEK-END
Joan Crawford, Norma
Shearer, and Rosalind
Russell Play in Movie
Coming as an answer to that
perennial question; "What do
women talk about when they're
alone?" "The Women", filmiza-tion
of Claire Booth's outstanding
stage success, will be shown Sun­day
and Monday at the Tiger
Theatre, with an all-star cast of
135 women headed by Norma
Shearer, Joan Crawford, and
Rosalind Russell.
The screen cast comprises 35
principals and a total of 135 fea­tured
speaking roles in all. Not
a single man appears anywhere in
the picture, although nine-tenths
of the dialogue concerns men. The
nearest approach to the masculine
touch is the shadow of a man
shown on a snapshot used as an
insert.
Every animal in the film is of
the feminine sex. These include
three monkeys, Stupid, Dizzy and
Featherbrain, which appear in the
fashion show, dressed in costumes
duplicating those worn by the
stars. Even photographs and art
objects are all feminine. Books
used in the library are all by wom­en
writers and no title is used
which refers to a man. It will be
the first time that Miss Shearer,
Miss Crawford and Miss Russell
have never been kissed by the
leading man in a picture.
Most unusual scene in the pic­ture
is the knock-down-and-drag-out-
fight between Miss Russell
and Miss Goddard on the dude
ranch set. It required three days
to film, a total of 24 hours. Each
contestant had to have five com­plete
changes due to the rough
handling of their clothes. The two
saw reels of all the feminine
fights in film history before the
scene.

State Problem Forms
Theme for Program
"Resolved that there should be
a state-wide stock law in Ala­bama"
was debated by members
from the sophomore class at the
last meeting of the FFA last Tues­day
night. Those participating in
the debate were J. B. Whorton
and Bill Burson speaking for the
affirmative side of the question,
T. W. Underwood and J. W. Col-vin
speaking for the negative side
of the question, and A. C. Allen
acting as chairman.
Whorton and Burson defended
the stock law by stating that the
federal government and the state
of Alabama spend enormous sums
of money each year constructing
and beautifying highways and that
stock should not be allowed to
destroy them. The speakers also
discussed the value of permanent
pastures in connection with the
stock law.
Underwood and Colvin opposed
the state-wide stock law by stat­ing
that most of the farm owners
in South Alabama do not have
the money that is necessary to
fence their farms. Another point
was that South Alabama is so
thinly settled that stock on the
range do not bother the crops of
one's neighbor. Since the country
is so thinly settled, it would be
