Cabinet Petitions Deans For New Absence Rule ASKS FOR JOINT STUDENT-FACULTY COMMITTEE TO DRAW UP CHANCES In a momentous session last night the Executive Cabinet, student legislative body, petitioned the Executive Council, governing body of the administration, to appoint a joint student-faculty committee to draw up a revised absence system. The petition, which passed without a dissenting vote, requested three committee members from the Executive Council, one of them to be Executive Secretary Ralph Draughon who would serve as " ^ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ chairman, and three committee members from the student body. The student governing body asked for an acknowledgement of the acceptance, rejection, or modification of the proposal and asked that it be considered as soon as possible. Chief talking point of the Cabinet forces is the overwhelming vote against the present system which was expressed Wednesday when almost three-fourths of the student body went to the polls to cast 2586 votes against the two-point rule and only 44 for it, The petition was presented to the Cabinet by President John Ivey and passed unanimously. Ivey said last night that the Council, composed of deans from each school, would hold its next meeting on Tuesday and that the petition would be presented to them or to Dr. Duncan, president of the college, before then. After the paper was presented to the Cabinet last night and discussed, John Watters, senior representative, moved its adoption, the motion being seconded by Margaret Pearson, woman's representative. In presenting the petition to the Cabinet, Ivey stated that it had been drawn up so as to eliminate any evidence of "high pressure" methods on the part of students, that it had not been written in that sense at all. He also said t h a t Executive Secretary Draughon did not know he would be asked to serve as head of the committee. The formal petition follows: Whereas, the student body of the Alabama Polytechnic Institute has expressed its desire for a cut system other than that now in effect by a vote of 2586 to 44, and Whereas, the present system has many features which handicap both the faculty in its administration and the students in their compliance, The Executive Cabinet, governing body of the Undergraduate Students Association, submits this petition to the Executive Council for consideration and action. We, the Executive Cabinet, being the duly elected representatives of the Alabama Polytechnic Institute student body, in an effort to secure and maintain better relations between the administration and the student body, petition the Executive Council to appoint a committee composed of the Executive Secretary and two other members of the Council to work jointly with a committee composed of three students, the chairmanship of the joint committee to reside in the Executive Secretary. The purpose of this joint committee shall be to investigate the merits of other systems, to devise a new set of regulations governing class attendance applicable to the administrative set-up of the Alabama Polytechnic Institute, and to recommend their findings to the Executive- Council for consideration. We respectfully request an acknowledgement of the acceptance, or rejection, or modification of our proposal after it is given consideration at the earliest possible date. Student Executive Cabinet, John Ivey, Jr., President. In the Cabinet session all of the members expressed themselves as opposed to the present system, most of them approving, a dean's list. Jim King, vice-president of the Cabinet: "I favor a progressive cut system, a certain number of cuts for freshmen, more for sophomores, more for juniors." Dan Hollis, junior representative : "I am in favor of a dean's list. Students with 90-or-above averages should have no attendance rules, those with averages below 90 a certain number of cuts based on the previous semester's average." Otis Burnside, sophomore representative and secretary of the body, expressed his approval of cuts according to the number of credit hours of the course. Margaret Pearson, woman's representative, favored a dean's list or cuts based on the number of credit hours. John Watters proposed the most radical scheme, that of doing a-way with excuses entirely and allowing each student a lenient number of cuts, any cuts over that number failing the student. Or, he stated, this plan might be combined with the dean's list proposal. Bob Anderson, sophomore representative: "I believe that we should have a set number of cuts per semester with unlimited cuts for upperclassmen with 90 averages or above, according to previous semester's grades." The total vote of 2630 was said by the Elections Committee to be the largest vote ever recorded in an Auburn election. BOTH TIGER TEAMS LEAVE FOR GAMES Varsity Meets Boston; Frosh Play Mercer Cubs Auburn's Tigers arrived this afternoon in Boston where they will meet the Eagles of Boston College at Fenway Park tomorrow. A small but enthusiastic group of supporters gathered at the depot to see them off Wednesday night. The party reached Greensboro, N. C, yesterday about noon. They stopped there for a brief workout of about two hours. Soon after the game tomorrow the team will leave for New York. A brief sightseeing tour of the city has been planned for Sunday morning. They will arrive in Auburn Monday morning at 11:42 after a trip of about 2500 miles. The Auburn freshmen will journey to Americus, Ga., tonight to battle the Mercer Frosh. The game with Mercer will be the second of the season for the Tiger Cubs, who played the first .of their schedule of three games last week to win 13-2 over the Florida freshmen. According to Coach "Bat" Mc- Collum, starters in tonight's game will be: center, Jack Ferrell of Birmingham; guards, Fred Knight of Cullman and John Maddox of Andalusia; tackles, Jim McClurk-in of Birmingham and J. B. Lawless of Bessemer; ends, Fagan Canzoneri of Bessemer or Fred Hurst of Birmingham and Henry Monsees of Savannah, Ga., or Garland Childrey of Atlanta, Ga. At quarterback, Clarence Graham of Tallassee; halfbacks, Monk Gaf-ford of Fort Deposit and Aubrey Clayton of Colliersville, Tenn.; fullback, Jim Reynolds of La- Grange, Ga. Total Enrollment' Reaches Nearly 3500 Total enrollment for API this year has reached 3476, Charles W. Edward, registrar, stated early this week. This is an increase of 486 over the enrollment at the same time last year, or approximately 16 per cent higher. Particularly noticeable is the increase in enrollment of coeds from 485 to 575, a rise of approximately 19 per cent. Coed attendance is expected to increase appreciably the second semester of this year and the first semester of next session because of the completion of the new girls' dormitories which will be ready for occupancy early in 1940. Auburn's percentage of increase in enrollment is above that of the country as a whole, the average being .94 per cent. Eastern schools show an average increase of .28 per cent, Southern schools, 2.8 per cent, and Western schools, 1.2 per cent. Arrangements Are Completed For Birmingham Parade Draughon Visits Alumni In'Birmingham to Talk Over Plans for Day Executive Secretary R a l ph Draughon returned yesterday from Birmingham where he discussed with alumni and Auburn friends the program for the Armistice Day game between Auburn and Villanova on November 11 when the ROTC corps will parade in Birmingham. George Mattison, Jr., president of the Alumni Association, is taking an active part in arranging for the parade. Already more than 1600 ROTC cadets have signed up to make the trip, and two section of a special train will be run from Auburn to the game. The trains will leave Auburn at 6:30 Saturday morning, November 11. When they reach Birmingham the cadet corps will form and parade through the downtown section. All divisions of the ROTC unit will be represented including the motor battery. Arrangements are being made for the motor battery to fire a 21-gun salute in honor of the World War dead at Legion Field on the afternoon of the game. Col. John J. Waterman, military commandant here, is in charge of arrangements for transportation of the military units. He has announced that two trains will bring the students back to Auburn from Birmingham. One will leave Saturday night at 8:30 p.m., the other at 11:30 p.m. Dawson Mullen, colonel of the engineer regiment, will be in charge of the ROTC unit in the absence of Cadet Brigade Colonel Walter Chandler, who will be with the football team. Mullen was the originator of most of the plans which will be carried out on November 11. Auburn Professor Named Fellow of Health Association Dr. Robinson Honored At Meeting of Group In Pennsylvania City Military Department Issues Official Directions for Trip to Birmingham Trains to Leave at 6:15 And 6 : 2 0 in the Morning The Military Department issued today the official directions for the complete trip to Birmingham. 1. Loading at Auburn: The .brigade will start loading at 6:00 a.m. Saturday, November 11. The first train leaves Auburn at 6:15 a.m. and the second at 6:20 a.m. The brigade will fall in on Gay Street in column of battery (company) mass without distance facing north, head at railroad tracks, in order; band, engineers, 1st F. A., 2nd F.A., horse battery, motor battery. During Tuesday drill period, the brigade will be marched to the entraining point so every man will know where to report Saturday morning. Men who are escorting young ladies to Birmingham on the special trains, are requested to bring these young ladies to the point where the battery forms—so that they can get on the same car. Cars will be loaded 70 to a car. Space on the second train will be held for men living in Opelika and these men will not have to come to Auburn to get on the train. 2. Detraining at Birmingham: On arrival of each train in Birmingham Terminal Station, men will leave the train, cross intervening tracks (not down the stairways), go through the station and on to 25th street. The brigade will form in column of battery mass, without distance, on 25th Street, headed north, head at 7th Avenue in the order: band, engineers, 1st F.A., 2nd F. A., horse battery, motor battery. Men having hand baggage can NEW SYSTEM FOR STUDENT CENTER TO BEGIN MONDAY Hall to Remain Open From 6:00 to 10:00 for Benefit of Student Body The Student Center will open Monday night under the new system of operation by which it is to be kept open for use by the students, John Ivey, president of the Cabinet, which is in charge of the Center, said yesterday. It will be open from 6:00 to 10:30 on week nights and until 10:30 or 11:00 on Friday and Saturday nights. The Center has already 'been provided with a Coca Cola dispensing machine, but the nickelodeon has not been installed yet, the exact date of installation not being known yet. W. T.

Italian Doctor Visits Here __6 " Z^^^Z^^^^^^Zl Former Professor Conducting Survey Of Came in State A former instructor of zoology here and the possessor of college degrees in wildlife and related subjects, Fred S. Barkalow is now the project leader of the statewide game census being conducted by the State Department of Game Conservation in conjunction with the federal government. The purpose of the investigation is to determine the distribution and approximate population of the more important game and fur-bearing animals, especially Virginia white-tailed deer, wild turkeys, and bob-white quail. After the investigation is completed, plans will be undertaken for a rehabilitation program and the setting aside of large game areas where the average man can hunt and fish. The annual cost of the project will be $12,000, $9,000 being furnished by the federal government and the rest by the Alabama State Conservation Department. Barkalow will begin his work on the Pea River project in southeastern Alabama. leave it in the baggage room and return for it after being dismissed from the parade. 3.

Dietician Addresses Home Economics Club Ibbie Jones, dietician of Troy State Teacher's College, outlined the qualifications of a dietician to members of the Home Economics Club, which met in Smith Hall last night. Miss Jones listed the following points as essentials for girls entering the field of dietetics: driving ambition, good organization, knowledge of the economic set up of the whole country, knowledge of the different foods, wise buying, preparation of dishes, good health, personality, tolerant understanding of employees. Morgan's band, originator of "Music In The "Morgan Manner," arrived here this afternoon. The orchestra consists of 17 pieces and features a girl vocalist, Carolyn Clark. The sophomore grand march, which will be led by Theodosia Murphy, of Americus, Ga., escorted by Bert Powell, sophomore class secretary, will be held Saturday night at 10:30. All sophomores who intend to take part in this lead-out have been requested to give their names to Charles Flowers, vice-president of t he sophomore class, or to Bert Powell. Regulations concerning registration of out-of-town girls have been set up by Dr. Rosa Lee Walston, director of women students and social activities. Each student who has invited an out-of- town date must give to Dr. Walston the girl's name and the address at which she is visiting in Auburn. Each girl visiting at a fraternity house must register at the fraternity house, where she will receive a ticket which will admit her to the dances. Each girl visiting in private homes in town will register on arriving at the first dance with a member of the faculty social committee at a desk on the porch of the hall at Graves Center. Students who are attending dances on a one-night fraternity ticket will have to present their athletic books at the dance. Without these athletic books they will not be admitted to the dance. The dance tonight will begin at 9:00 o'clock. Tomorrow morning's dance, that of the "A" Club, will be at 11:00. The Scabbard and Blade dance tomorrow afternoon will begin at 4:00.

Don Jones Circulation Asst. Southward The Tide Of Empire — INDISPUTABLY American industry is moving toward the South. Gone are the old days when an agrarian South sent its cotton to booming textile mills on the river banks of New England. New England has moved to a New South, and the old mills are brick shells of their former selves, for their machinery has gone southward to an unexploited labor supply, a milder climate, and more accessible raw materials. The South is fighting, and rightfully so, for adequate industry to balance its predominantly agricultural economy, but in its eagerness is the South forgetting the dictates of caution? The fact that some business bears the label "industry" does not make it per se a valuable addition to a community. The South's battle for a diversified economy has been a genuine fight, but we have accepted more than one crumb from northern tables by grabbing at any straw that could possibly be construed as industry. The sweatshop is not an academic evil associated with New York tenement houses, but the South has its share of sweatshops and instead of fighting them has condoned many. There are the sordid tales of high school children being given "vocational training" by working a full-time day in factories, of cities having mortgaged themselves to buy buildings for worthless industry. One wonders if the government ever found out about the WPA "schoolhouse" in Mississippi which mysteriously became a 20-cents-an-hour factory as soon as it was completed. Numerous cities have taken the the risk of future relief burdens from some industry which may be gone tomorrow, but are not collecting one cent of taxes from the industry to insure against the" relief contingency. All because the South needs industry. Maybe it does, but it needs healthy, wholesome industry which will be an asset instead of a parasite. Other sections of the country can keep their fly - by - night sweatshops which milk labor of its worth then move on to unexploited fields, never paying their way. It will require vigilance and disappointments to separate the bad from the good and take only what is goodj but the long run benefits will be immeasurably greater. Off To The Wars REGARDLESS OF whether we like it or not, it looks as if the War Department has already decided what each of us will do and where we will go if the United States should become involved in the present European strife. If we may accept Collier's as an authority, the War office in Washington already has our war machine primed to turn out armies. Within eight days after America goes to war 12,000,000 men between the ages of 21 and 30 will be registered for training. Four days later the drawing will begin; it will be like a huge lottery— with military training and first crack at the enemy for the winners. In a little over 100 days after we are drafted we will be sufficiently trained to fight somebody somewhere. Between the ages of 21 and 30 and 31 and 45, the army believes there will be nine and one half million men fit to fight for their country. The lists of these men have been compiled for some time now, their names being taken from every voting precinct in the United States. Every man, regardless of his occupation and physical condition, is tabulated. From the files of the Social Security Board, from the Census Bureau, and from the lists of ROTC students the names have been taken. All of us on the lists, of course, will not be accepted. Some of us may be physically unfit, but our service will not be deferred until we have been examined by a military board of doctors after we have been drafted and sent to a training camp. But even if we don't meet the physical requirements we will be given a job "' where our physical ineptitude will make little difference. This time we are all going to war. Every private motor car will be subject to conscription. Men and women beyond the conscription age will drive them. Even privately-owned factories may be taken over for government use. They might even ask us to give a share of our money for national protection and mobilization. We're all going to war next time. P.H. Well? By John Ivey, Jr. 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. THE STUDENT OPINION poll has served two very important purposes. First the Executive Cabinet has a very tangible means of proving that practically the entire student body is opposed to the present absence rule. Although the opposition has been present for quite some time, there has never been any reliable way of proving it until the opinion poll was held. Second and most important is the fact that now the student governing group has the support and evidence that some plan should be devised to replace the rules under which we are not functioning. Contrary to some comment concerning the object of taking such a vote, the Cabinet was only trying to find the reaction of the students as a whole and thereby have tangible support from the entire group in its presentation of the problem to the administration. * * * It is not the place of the Executive Cabinet to try to work out a new absence rule; however, it is the duty of this group to present to the Executive Council what is undoubtedly the will of the group having voiced its opinion. This it will do. For four years we have heard the fatherly voice of our officials feeding us the virtues of democratic government, stating that only through such management of affairs, whether it be of a national nature or simply a small organization, that we could hope to be able to cope with problems that will come to us as citizens in future life. To those same patient and well-schooled officials the student body is turning now with a resolve to really find out how democratic we are here at Auburn. Before the opinion poll was held we were told that in proceeding along this line we would undoubtedly make some of the members of the Executive Council feel that they were being "high-pressured" into changing the absence rule, that we would do the movement more harm than good by carrying on; however, the Student Executive Cabinet decided to give the men on this group a chance to demonstrate to the student body exactly those same things that we harve been taught about democracy since starting as freshmen at Auburn. * * * As the issue now stands the next move pertaining to the working out of some change in the absence rule is in the hands of the Executive Council, a group representing the administration. * * * There's just something about this newspaper work that just gets you. The freshmen trickle in and go to work every September. Ye Ed tells them that they're always welcome at the Plainsman office, no matter whether they're working or not. They all grin as if thinking, "Who wants to loaf around here anyhow?" But before long they begin to drop in every day, and somebody gives them some task around the office. Soon they're insulting the editor and cussing the business staff just like veterans. In a few weeks most of them are dropping around four or five times a day. Come about November and the boys eat, sleep, and study at home, but all their spare time is spent in the Plainsman office. Don't tell us that this newspaper work doesn't get you. It happens every year the same way. And they all love it. * * * Last week at the Associated Collegiate Press Convention the old "war eagle" came in for a new use. During the evening a group of the boys from the middle west in cooperation with the fellows from the South decided to answer the yells across the hall in which delegates from the entire country were seated. The Yankee editors had ganged up with the copy producers from the far West and had composed some new yells of their own. Someone piped up with a question as to what would be a good rebel yell. Bob Armstrong winked at John Godbold and told the boys that he thought a few good "war eagles" would serve the purpose. Thereupon the crowds there assembled got an earful of our favorite football game vocal effort. The boys from Ohio and Iowa thought it great fun, and before the night was over the "war eagle" was being tossed around by practically everyone present. With the Co-ops—By A Fred Henning LAST OF ALL we meet the freshman class of co-operative students of section A, now in school. The freshman class, the largest of the three class groups, is made up of 59 "rats." They come from all parts of the state, and as a group represent 27 different employers. These fellows have not as yet completed any work on their co-operative jobs since it was their choice to attend classes before going to work. Their alternates, however, now comprising part of section B, are already punching clocks for those same 27 employers. Among this group of employers there are 18 new names on the list of companies, corporations, mills, railroads, and governmental departments maintaining part-time, co-operative jobs for students. In view of such information it is evident that these freshmen did some high-pressure selling to land these jobs so that they might come to school. On the other hand, there is another group among the freshmen who as yet are unassigned to co-operative student employers. College officials believe, however, that most of these assignments will be made before the close of the current quarter. Besides being the largest class, the freshmen co-ops are represented in more fields of engineering than are either of "the other two classes. Their roster shows members enrolled in six of the engineering courses taught here in Auburn. As a group these freshmen show a slight preference for electrical engineering, being represented in that study by 15 members. The remaining engineering courses in which these freshmen are enrolled and the number in each are as follows: 12 in mechanical, 10 in civil, nine in chemical, eight in textile,- and one in industrial. The new field of engineering on which these freshmen have embarked is textile. Neither the pro-junior nor the sophomore class of co-ops has textile engineering students among its ranks. This is explained by the fact that one-third of the new employers of coop students are empjoying students in textile engineering. All in all, these freshmen co-ops are active in campus activities and are already proving themselves good students. * * * W. K. Jennings, a sophomore in Section A, was unassigned until last Friday at which time he was given a job with the Pullman Standard Car Manufacturing Company, in Bessemer. His acceptance of this offer necessitated his having- to transfer to section B. Another position offered by the Tennessee Coal, Iron and Railroad Company was filled just recently by M. O. Smith, who had enrolled as a regular student at the opening of the fall term. Both Smith and Jennings are now at work and will return to classes with Section B in December. 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. MENACED LAST year by the martial Martians of Mars, Auburn is once more being invaded by the war-like inhabitants of a belligerent planet. Those venomous vicious vipers of Venus have encamped in various lodgings throughout the campus and are busily plotting their nefarious schemes. * Under the guise of coming down here to slip and slide with the riffin' slip-horn of Russ, the fair Amazons will leave the campus in a state of ruin and desolation. Armed with curling eyelashes and teasing smiles, these facetious femmes fatale will rip many a vest or shirt to get that fraternity pin. Such things are esteemed, and such methods sanctioned . . . . on Venus. And the wailing will be loud and long, and the students will wear black . . . and white. Yea, the mournful cries would awake pity in the hearts of little old sticks and stones, but the gals will not soften. But we can't blame the maids, bless their little hearts, because they mean well . . . maybe. * * Some of them really like their dates, 'tis said, and some are not as bloodthirsty as others, and,' maybe, there will be many a pin-hanging. Gaffed by that glittering gob of gold, the gals will gasp gracefully and greedily grab the guys. Then . . . the clinch, fade-out, and pin hanging. * * * A warning will do no good for even the most hardened of the B. M. O. C.'s on the campus. Only experience will help, and even its effect lasts only a short time. Nevertheless, in pity for the coming plight of many, I shall give a few of the ways which may prove at least partially successful in repelling the fair invaders. * # * * The most effective way of combating this menace is to lock your doors and bury your nose in a book. Have your meals sent up by a rope from the window. Pull down the shades and don't look out. Get under the bed and stay there quietly. On no pretext listen to the radio, for this is the surest road toward breaking your resolutions and venturing out. This method would be almost safe, except that you won't follow it. You'll slip out to the dance to see just what that little girl your roomie has looks like, and you will be lost. Indeed, you haven't a chance, for it is inscribed on the sacred stones of Solomon that your next step will be to dance with the gal. After that, the late date and the feeling t h a t ' i t ' s hard on your roomie but that this is the real thing at last and that it's meant to be. She gets the pin. Later, you and your roomie simultaneously begin telling of your pin hanging experiences. Lo and behold, the wench has both pins. Your resolutions will last 'til the midterms . . . maybe. * * * * * Combat plan number two is known as the smoke-screen baffler. You fire up your pipe and retire behind the sheltering cloud. When the persistent miss asks who is there you falteringly reply, "Ain't nobody here 'cept ole black Sam, ma'am. I'se jest peeling the taters fo dinnah. Yas ma'am, dat's all." You feel pretty good now, but the damsel answers, "Well, come on out, Sam. You Ebony Council members have some sort of pin, don't you?" * * * * * * Number three is known as the I-can-be- as-tough-as-you-can trial and error system. You take her to the dance and promptly make her furious by flirting with some other bag. The gal you're flirting with turns out to be a bombshell and she gets your pin.

College Students of Country Opposed to Any Change in Present Neutrality Law The New Student Center CAMPUS LEADERS—"Hank" Parker THE NEW SYSTEM of operation for the Student Center whereby several improvements are being made and it will be kept open at night is the partial culmination of a dream which students have had for lo these many years. Granted, the installation of a nickelodeon and drink machine will not make a palace of the Center, but they are steps in the right direction. The next step will be a soda fountain, an orchestra once or twice a week, and floor shows. Eventually we may acquire the long - sought - for student union building with all the facilities which would make any student body happy. Until then a constantly- improved Student Center will satisfy most of o ur needs and at least will keep some of us out of the brew joints. "HANK" PARKER — his professors call him Hankins—came to Auburn from Brewton, Ala. Some Brewton scribe might write a book about "Hank" and call it "Local Boy Makes Good," because the diminutive Parker has done just that in the four years he has been in Auburn. This year he is the business manager of the Glomerata. "Hank" is enrolled in veterinary medicine, and has one more year after this one before he can be a full-fledged D.V.M. When asked about his future plans he replied that he would "probably go into small animal work." Parker wears the round key of ODK, is a member of the Junior AVMA, and is a pledge in Alpha Psi fraternity. "Hank" entered politics in the spring of his sophomore year when he joined the race for junior representative to the Cabinet. A dark horse, no one knew exactly what his chances would be, but he demonstrated in short order, for he was swept in by a landslide of votes. During the summer of '38 he served as business manager of the rat bible for the year. Last spring he had little trouble in winning the Glomerata post. He is quite interested in church work and has taken quite an active part in it. At the recent Baptist Student Union convention held at Howard College in Birmingham Parker was elected state president of the BSU. He serves on the AS THE NATION debates the way to stay out of a European war, what is American college youth thinking and saying about the situation? Scores of personal interviewers last week completed the first of this year's polls for the Student Opinion Surveys of A-merica on campuses from coast to coast—and found: 1. Students are opposed to changing t h e neutrality law, mainly because they believe this would involve the U. S. 2. Even if the Allies were in danger of losing to Germany, the U. S. should not send troops to help them. 3. College men—almost 6 out of every 10—say they would not volunteer if England and France were losing and this country went to their aid. With the cooperation of the Plainsman and over a hundred other member newspapers, ballots have been gathered for the Surveys from typical students the nation over, making up a scientific cross-section on which are based these weekly studies of college thought. Since the methods used are exactly those of famous public opinion polls that have shown remarkable accuracy, the Surveys represent the sentiments of all the one and a half million American collegians. While Congressional oratory got underway in Washington, interviewers stopped students in local council and is director of the senior Baptist Training Union. For two years he has been a member of the YMCA cabinet. According to his staff members, "Hank" is doing a fine job handling the business side of the yearbook. Stating that his "only hope is that the students will like it," Parker added that he was going to do all that he could to "put out the best Glomerata we've ever had." halls, libraries, dormitories, asked : "Should the neutrality law be changed so that any country at war could buy war supplies in the United States?" YES, answered .... 42 per cent NO, answered .... 58 per cent To the question, "If England and France were in danger of defeat, should the U. S. send troops to help them?" only 36 per cent replied "yes." Following that query, men students, the majority of whom are of conscription age, were ask- • ed; "If England and France were in danger of defeat and the U. S. declared war on their enemies, would you volunteer?" The results : Would volunteer.... 42 per cent Would NOT volunteer .... 58 per cent Significantly, events in recent months, climaxed by actual combat in Europe, have apparently influenced a good many, for in February, 1939, the Surveys found that only 2 out of every 10 would volunteer if this country went to war for other reasons than the defense of the country. These opinions, of course, are not a prediction of what would happen if this nation did declare w a r. Shifts in sentiment may already be seen since world war has become more of a possibility. No one can tell what war fever can do. This survey was begun about the time when Hitler made his last peace offer, and at that time students, as they have in the past, displayed their lack of confidence in the Fuehrer. Only 13 per cent declared England and France should accept his proposals for the sake of world peace. Sentiment was found to be unusually uniform in all parts of the country in the topic involved.

Parker, Glomerata business manager and local Baptist student leader, was named president of the State Baptist Student Convention at the annual meeting in Birmingham last week. Parker succeeds William Weaver of Howard College as convention head, and will serve for one year. In addition to his work with the Glomerata staff, Parker is a member of ODK, AVMA, and was recently named for "Who's Who Among American College Students." This is the first time an Auburn student has been elected as president of the state Baptist organization. The next convention will meet in Auburn in the fall of 1940. It has been five years since the State meeting has been held in Auburn. Fifty Auburn students and leaders attended the convention representing the local BSU. Earl Gardner, local president was in charge of the delegation which was the largest from any college or school in the state. Approximately 400 were in attendance representing 15 colleges and schools. Men's Glee Club To Sing Before Montgomery Group Pres. L. N. Duncan and the Auburn Glee Club will take part in a special "Auburn Day" program before the People's Bible Class in Montgomery Sunday morning, November 5, at the Empire Theatre in Montgomery.

As usual, the program and Judge Jones's address will be broadcast over Station WSFA, Montgomery. The program will open with the Glee Club and the audience singing, "Glory, Glory Dear Old Auburn", after which W. H. (Billy) Barton, president of the Montgomery Auburn Alumni Chapter will speak and introduce President Duncan. A group of six selections will be sung by the Glee Club, including three Negro spirituals, and Gordon Hubbard, baritone, will appear on the program as a soloist. The program will close with the Auburn Alma Mater. The program has been arranged by Harley L.

Professor Gets Letter Describing European Crisis A letter received here recently by Dr. Edward E. Cureton, of the Auburn School of Education, from a professor at the University of Edinburgh gives an idea of the British attitude in the present European War. Prof. Godfrey H. Thomson, of the department of education at the Scottish university, wrote to Dr. Cureton complimenting him on a recent published study, "The Principal Compulsions of Factor- Analysts". His letter, dated, Sept. 1, follows: "This is I fear a historic date, our school children are at this moment being evacuated, my son of 22 is somewhere in the Mediterranean, and the clock appears to have been put back by 25 years. But there is nothing further I can do, and so I have opened a reprint which came from you this morning, and for twenty minutes I have actually forgotten the present. Very many thanks for one of the wittiest articles on factor analysis that I have ever read—no, not one of the wittiest, easily far the wittiest. If by any good chance this war is over I hope I may be able to make your personal acquaintance in 1940 at the International Conference of Psychologists here next July. But much I fear will happen before then. In any case many thanks. Yours sincerely, Godfrey H. Thomson." ing graduate work at Auburn in textiles; Leonora Patridge is teaching in Brent, and Carrie Maude Jordan is employed as assistant manager by the Jordan Lumber Company in Washington County. Several members of the 1939 home economics graduates have married, including Kathleen Snow who married Paul Gilmore; Rene Gibson, who is now Mrs. Andrew Pollard; Margaret Fryer, who is now Mrs. George Brazelton; and Louise Welsted, who is now Mrs. Charles Strozier and resides in Jefferson City, Tenn. Among the five students recently elected to the Auburn social committee are two athletes, Carl Happer, Birmingham, and Charlie Kilpatrick, Carrollton, a junior and senior, respectively. Happer is a reliable in both football and baseball, and Kilpatrick is a crack pitcher on the diamond. ALUMNI OFFICE SEEKS ADDRESSES OF GRADUATES Lost! Thirty-five alumni!

Beginning last Monday, Auburn supporters and members of the Alumni Association are holding regular Monday morning meetings every week at the Whitley Hotel in Montgomery. In Birmingham too, a similar group holds weekly meetings. Last Monday the Birmingham group met with Alabama adherents to discuss week-end results and pick next week's winners. These get-togethers are in the form of a luncheon with results of the last weeks game being discussed along with plans for attending each forthcoming football game. Finland Denies Change in Olympics The International Olympic committee denied this week that any action had been taken toward removing the 1940 games from Finland to Detroit. "Any decision regarding the games will be taken only after Finland renounces them," authorities said. Meanwhile, in Helsingfors a Finnish foreign office spokesman said, "Finland has by no means renounced intentions of holding the 1940 games and still has hopes of holding them if the situation permits." He added that Finland expected to make no decision until May, the deadline which would allow the Finns at least three months for final preparations. Work on the Olympic stadium, adjacent fields, the swimming pool and athletic department buildings still is proceeding, but slowly because of the uncertain political situation. Workmen now are constructing bleachers in the stadium to accommodate 60,000 for the games. Final plans for the entire Auburn ROTC to attend the Tigers five-star intersectional football battle with Villanova in Birmingham, Armistice Day, November 11, as a unit, have been completed.

Tiger Athletes Star In Classroom As Well As In Sports Competition Two Highest Averages Made by Senior Athletes Surprising as it may seem, Auburn's athletics are as proficient in the classroom as they are on the athletic field. In fact they might be called "brain men" as .well as "muscle men." During the second semester of last year some of the participants in sports outshone most of the non-participating students. The highest average attained in the entire school during the second semester of last year was reached by an athlete, Frank B. Gunter of Phenix City, a senior and distance man on the track team. He accumulated one of the highest averages in Auburn history, 97.71. Second highest average for the same semester was also that of an athlete, this time a member of the polo sq,uad, Elmer Almquist, who averaged 96.63. Almquist has also taken an active part in intramural sports. Others whose grades were over 90 were Walter Chandler, guard on the football team, whose average of 92.06 was one of the highest in his course, business administration; George Long, senior in veterinary medicine and a member of the track team, who reached 91.17; and Buddy McMahan, quarterback on the football team, who averaged 90.62 in electrical engineering. In all 35 athletes were listed in the group of students averaging 80 and above, as announced by the Registrar's Office. Eleven men from the football squad reached the "80 or above" mark: Franklin P. Buckner, Geter Cantrell, Walter Chandler, Getty Fairchild, Carl Happer, George Kenmore, Gordon MacEachern, Herndon McGehee, Buddy McMahan, Max Morris, and Bud Wendling. The baseball squad was represented by Louis Diamond, Ralph Frazier, Earl Hawkins and Ray D. Loworn. Kavanaugh's Points Pass Century Mark Giant Ken Kavanaugh, LSU's great pass-catching end, marched past the 100-point mark in scoring by tallying two touchdowns against Vandy last Saturday. Kavanaugh's touchdowns during his three seasons as a varsity star now number 19 for a total of 114 points. An extra point made on a pass this season brings his points to 115. From the track team were Jack Cagle, Ben Dawsey, Bob Dickinson, Frank Gunter, George Hard-wick, George Long, Herbert Martin, Chuck Morgan, Forrest Homer Morgan, Robert Morton, David Sprinkle, and Roy Wilson. Four polo players attained the honor rating: Elmer Almquist, Bob Armstrong, John Blunschi, and Dick Hall. From the tennis team were three over-80 men: J. W. McKee, W. W. Thompson, and Vernon Wells.

Mr. McKeever elected to fly down, ran into a rather bumpy head wind, and arrived just in time to see the last play of the game! But that ain't all. Seems also that said Mr. McKeever developed an extremely acute case of air sickness on the way down and didn't really care whether he saw the game or not! * * * Boston will be handicapped by the absence of the little colored jumping bean, Lou Montgomery, who was held out of the Florida game and will be held out of Saturday's affair with Auburn'. * * * They're really beating the publicity drum up Mid- West way for Tommy Harmon, pace setter of the Michigan point-a-minute men. They can't figure if he is bet-ten than Red Grange in his prime or only just as good! * * * What we said last week about the Tech game being a "must have" affair has become qualified by the fine first-half game that the Tigers played. Any team that can play like than, even in spots, has plenty on the ball and will just maul almighty heck out of some unsuspecting ball club ere the evening of December 9 comes around. * * * Missing four picks out of 10 choices last week sent us down for a count of nine, but here we are back on our feet, a bit groggy, it's true, pickin' 'em again.

A I T , 11 | Snakes Down ATO's uburn learn to Meet ForPOO^H™e Bostonians Tomorrow Tigers Out for Victory After Defeats In Georgia Tech and Manhattan Games An up-and-coming Auburn eleven invades the East once more tomorrow as they meet the also up-and-coming Boston College Eagles in Fenway Park, Boston. The Tigers entrained from the Loveliest Village Wednesday night, unlimbered train-stiff muscles in a workout in Greensboro, N. C, yesterday and arrived in Boston at 1:40 p.m. today where they are staying at the Kenmore Hotel. (Meet those Tigers, win or lose, at 11:44 Monday morning.) Practice last week continued to be featured by the play of sophomores Cheatham, Deal, Faulk, Samford, Crimmins and Chalkley and it is likely that these men will start off against the Maroon and Gold. But the sophs have not jostled such veterans as Dick McGowen, Capt. Milton Howell, Ernie Mills, Mai Morgan, Carl Happer and George Kenmore out of the spotlight. McGowen continues to be sensational with his booting, while his running, which has improved markedly over last year, continues on the upswing. Jumpin' George Kenmore, who chunked the Plainsmen's six pointer against the Yellow Jackets, has sparkled in carrying the mail in practice last week and also in slinging aerial efforts, the principal receiver being Carl Happer. Happer, who threw that vital thrust to Dick McGowen to score against State, also gave his pitching arm a good workout against scrub opposition the past week.

After playing four scoreless ties, Sigma Nu downed the ATO boys by gaining more yardage in four downs yesterday afternoon, thereby winning the touch football championship of League Number Two. For three times the two teams battled each other, neither being able to score. The fourth game was played yesterday and it too ended in a scoreless deadlock. By agreement the four-down rule was invoked and the Sigma Nu's came through with a yard-gaining run which won the game for them. The SPE's have already won in League Number One. In League Number Three the Sigma Chi's and Kappa Alpha's have each won two games with two yet to be played. League Number four ended in a three way tie between Delta Sigma Phi, Pi K A and SAE. The Pikes eliminated the Delta Sigs in a close game Sunday afternoon and were in turn defeated 12-0 by the SAE's, champions of that league. Inter-league playoffs will begin October 30. In other games of last week ATO won over Sigma Pi, 20-0, Pi Kappa Phi and Phi Delta Theta tied up at 0-0, and Delta Sig defeated Alpha Psi, 35-0.

Page Six THE A U B U R N P L A I N S M AN November 3, 1939 FAMOUS ITALIAN DOCTOR VISITS VET SCHOOL Leading Pathologist Addresses Local Kiwanis Club Meeting Auburn was host to a distinguished visitor last week when Dr. Alberto Ascoli, former -head of the department of pathology at the School of "Veterinary Medicine in Milan, Italy, visited the School of Veterinary Medicine here. In this country for a meeting of the International Microscopists Association, which was held in New York City, Dr. Ascoli spent several days here observing the methods employed in the veterinary school. The ship in which he came to America was delayed by war activities and he was unable to attend the convention as was his intention. While in Auburn he addressed the local Kiwanis Club. In his speech he brought out that Europe is losing her preeminent place in scientific achievement, while America is progressing more and more rapidly. Dr. Ascoli is an internationally known scientist and a widely recognized authority in the field of pathology and immunity. In addition to having written numerous treatises on immunity, he has done extensive experimental work in Bang's disease and undulant fever. Vet Med Seniors Inspect Atlanta Packing Plant The senior class in veterinary medicine, under the direction of Dr. W. M. Howell, spent last Friday on a meat inspection tour in Atlanta, where they observed packing operations of the White Provision Company. A study of the entire procedure of the company was made. The livestock buyers explained the methods of grading various types of livestock which were brought to the plant. They observed operations in the slaughter room, and then in the inspection room. Federal meat inspectors demonstrated the method required by the government in the inspection of meat that is to be sold for public consumption. Their observations included the manufacture of packaged goods, such as breakfast bacon, boiled hams, weiners, and meat loaf. NOW AVAILABLE!

So says Arthur Freed, Hollywood producer, who learned his entertainment A, B, C's at the knee of that master discoverer of kid stars—Gus Edwards. "It is my personal opinion-that Rooney at seventeen is a much more talented kid than was the one and only George M. Cohen at that age. Mickey's supremacy comes in his versatility. He is equally at home in pathos and drama as he is in comedy. "Cohen started writing songs when he was 17. Mickey started writing them two years ago. I've written quite a few myself and I think I can judge music. Mickey's newest song, 'Love on the Range' is, in my opinion, better than anything Cohen ever wrote and I realize that I'm taking my reputation in my hands when I say that. "Mickey, it seems, can do anything. In 'Babes in Arms' he does everything that any of them ever did. He has dramatic scenes, he has comedy scenes, he sings, he dances, he gives impersonations, he plays the piano^-everything." "Babes in Arms", starring Rooney and Judy Garland, will be shown Sunday and Monday at the Tiger Theatre. Miss Lucille Rhodes, chairman of the educational committee, has arranged the program. * * * Professor E. D.

Cabinet Petitions Deans For New Absence Rule ASKS FOR JOINT STUDENT-FACULTY COMMITTEE TO DRAW UP CHANCES In a momentous session last night the Executive Cabinet, student legislative body, petitioned the Executive Council, governing body of the administration, to appoint a joint student-faculty committee to draw up a revised absence system. The petition, which passed without a dissenting vote, requested three committee members from the Executive Council, one of them to be Executive Secretary Ralph Draughon who would serve as " ^ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ chairman, and three committee members from the student body. The student governing body asked for an acknowledgement of the acceptance, rejection, or modification of the proposal and asked that it be considered as soon as possible. Chief talking point of the Cabinet forces is the overwhelming vote against the present system which was expressed Wednesday when almost three-fourths of the student body went to the polls to cast 2586 votes against the two-point rule and only 44 for it, The petition was presented to the Cabinet by President John Ivey and passed unanimously. Ivey said last night that the Council, composed of deans from each school, would hold its next meeting on Tuesday and that the petition would be presented to them or to Dr. Duncan, president of the college, before then. After the paper was presented to the Cabinet last night and discussed, John Watters, senior representative, moved its adoption, the motion being seconded by Margaret Pearson, woman's representative. In presenting the petition to the Cabinet, Ivey stated that it had been drawn up so as to eliminate any evidence of "high pressure" methods on the part of students, that it had not been written in that sense at all. He also said t h a t Executive Secretary Draughon did not know he would be asked to serve as head of the committee. The formal petition follows: Whereas, the student body of the Alabama Polytechnic Institute has expressed its desire for a cut system other than that now in effect by a vote of 2586 to 44, and Whereas, the present system has many features which handicap both the faculty in its administration and the students in their compliance, The Executive Cabinet, governing body of the Undergraduate Students Association, submits this petition to the Executive Council for consideration and action. We, the Executive Cabinet, being the duly elected representatives of the Alabama Polytechnic Institute student body, in an effort to secure and maintain better relations between the administration and the student body, petition the Executive Council to appoint a committee composed of the Executive Secretary and two other members of the Council to work jointly with a committee composed of three students, the chairmanship of the joint committee to reside in the Executive Secretary. The purpose of this joint committee shall be to investigate the merits of other systems, to devise a new set of regulations governing class attendance applicable to the administrative set-up of the Alabama Polytechnic Institute, and to recommend their findings to the Executive- Council for consideration. We respectfully request an acknowledgement of the acceptance, or rejection, or modification of our proposal after it is given consideration at the earliest possible date. Student Executive Cabinet, John Ivey, Jr., President. In the Cabinet session all of the members expressed themselves as opposed to the present system, most of them approving, a dean's list. Jim King, vice-president of the Cabinet: "I favor a progressive cut system, a certain number of cuts for freshmen, more for sophomores, more for juniors." Dan Hollis, junior representative : "I am in favor of a dean's list. Students with 90-or-above averages should have no attendance rules, those with averages below 90 a certain number of cuts based on the previous semester's average." Otis Burnside, sophomore representative and secretary of the body, expressed his approval of cuts according to the number of credit hours of the course. Margaret Pearson, woman's representative, favored a dean's list or cuts based on the number of credit hours. John Watters proposed the most radical scheme, that of doing a-way with excuses entirely and allowing each student a lenient number of cuts, any cuts over that number failing the student. Or, he stated, this plan might be combined with the dean's list proposal. Bob Anderson, sophomore representative: "I believe that we should have a set number of cuts per semester with unlimited cuts for upperclassmen with 90 averages or above, according to previous semester's grades." The total vote of 2630 was said by the Elections Committee to be the largest vote ever recorded in an Auburn election. BOTH TIGER TEAMS LEAVE FOR GAMES Varsity Meets Boston; Frosh Play Mercer Cubs Auburn's Tigers arrived this afternoon in Boston where they will meet the Eagles of Boston College at Fenway Park tomorrow. A small but enthusiastic group of supporters gathered at the depot to see them off Wednesday night. The party reached Greensboro, N. C, yesterday about noon. They stopped there for a brief workout of about two hours. Soon after the game tomorrow the team will leave for New York. A brief sightseeing tour of the city has been planned for Sunday morning. They will arrive in Auburn Monday morning at 11:42 after a trip of about 2500 miles. The Auburn freshmen will journey to Americus, Ga., tonight to battle the Mercer Frosh. The game with Mercer will be the second of the season for the Tiger Cubs, who played the first .of their schedule of three games last week to win 13-2 over the Florida freshmen. According to Coach "Bat" Mc- Collum, starters in tonight's game will be: center, Jack Ferrell of Birmingham; guards, Fred Knight of Cullman and John Maddox of Andalusia; tackles, Jim McClurk-in of Birmingham and J. B. Lawless of Bessemer; ends, Fagan Canzoneri of Bessemer or Fred Hurst of Birmingham and Henry Monsees of Savannah, Ga., or Garland Childrey of Atlanta, Ga. At quarterback, Clarence Graham of Tallassee; halfbacks, Monk Gaf-ford of Fort Deposit and Aubrey Clayton of Colliersville, Tenn.; fullback, Jim Reynolds of La- Grange, Ga. Total Enrollment' Reaches Nearly 3500 Total enrollment for API this year has reached 3476, Charles W. Edward, registrar, stated early this week. This is an increase of 486 over the enrollment at the same time last year, or approximately 16 per cent higher. Particularly noticeable is the increase in enrollment of coeds from 485 to 575, a rise of approximately 19 per cent. Coed attendance is expected to increase appreciably the second semester of this year and the first semester of next session because of the completion of the new girls' dormitories which will be ready for occupancy early in 1940. Auburn's percentage of increase in enrollment is above that of the country as a whole, the average being .94 per cent. Eastern schools show an average increase of .28 per cent, Southern schools, 2.8 per cent, and Western schools, 1.2 per cent. Arrangements Are Completed For Birmingham Parade Draughon Visits Alumni In'Birmingham to Talk Over Plans for Day Executive Secretary R a l ph Draughon returned yesterday from Birmingham where he discussed with alumni and Auburn friends the program for the Armistice Day game between Auburn and Villanova on November 11 when the ROTC corps will parade in Birmingham. George Mattison, Jr., president of the Alumni Association, is taking an active part in arranging for the parade. Already more than 1600 ROTC cadets have signed up to make the trip, and two section of a special train will be run from Auburn to the game. The trains will leave Auburn at 6:30 Saturday morning, November 11. When they reach Birmingham the cadet corps will form and parade through the downtown section. All divisions of the ROTC unit will be represented including the motor battery. Arrangements are being made for the motor battery to fire a 21-gun salute in honor of the World War dead at Legion Field on the afternoon of the game. Col. John J. Waterman, military commandant here, is in charge of arrangements for transportation of the military units. He has announced that two trains will bring the students back to Auburn from Birmingham. One will leave Saturday night at 8:30 p.m., the other at 11:30 p.m. Dawson Mullen, colonel of the engineer regiment, will be in charge of the ROTC unit in the absence of Cadet Brigade Colonel Walter Chandler, who will be with the football team. Mullen was the originator of most of the plans which will be carried out on November 11.

Standards, guidons and sabers will he put in the body of the truck. Officers will tag their sabers to insure their getting the same saber back after return to Auburn. Tags can be obtained from the Military Office. 7. Time of departure of special trains from Birmingham: The 1st train will leave Birmingham at 8:00 p.m. and the 2nd train at 11:30 p.m. Special tickets are good on special trains only. Dietician Addresses Home Economics Club Ibbie Jones, dietician of Troy State Teacher's College, outlined the qualifications of a dietician to members of the Home Economics Club, which met in Smith Hall last night. Miss Jones listed the following points as essentials for girls entering the field of dietetics: driving ambition, good organization, knowledge of the economic set up of the whole country, knowledge of the different foods, wise buying, preparation of dishes, good health, personality, tolerant understanding of employees. Morgan's band, originator of "Music In The "Morgan Manner," arrived here this afternoon. The orchestra consists of 17 pieces and features a girl vocalist, Carolyn Clark. The sophomore grand march, which will be led by Theodosia Murphy, of Americus, Ga., escorted by Bert Powell, sophomore class secretary, will be held Saturday night at 10:30. All sophomores who intend to take part in this lead-out have been requested to give their names to Charles Flowers, vice-president of t he sophomore class, or to Bert Powell. Regulations concerning registration of out-of-town girls have been set up by Dr. Rosa Lee Walston, director of women students and social activities. Each student who has invited an out-of- town date must give to Dr. Walston the girl's name and the address at which she is visiting in Auburn. Each girl visiting at a fraternity house must register at the fraternity house, where she will receive a ticket which will admit her to the dances. Each girl visiting in private homes in town will register on arriving at the first dance with a member of the faculty social committee at a desk on the porch of the hall at Graves Center. Students who are attending dances on a one-night fraternity ticket will have to present their athletic books at the dance. Without these athletic books they will not be admitted to the dance. The dance tonight will begin at 9:00 o'clock. Tomorrow morning's dance, that of the "A" Club, will be at 11:00. The Scabbard and Blade dance tomorrow afternoon will begin at 4:00.

Don Jones Circulation Asst. Southward The Tide Of Empire — INDISPUTABLY American industry is moving toward the South. Gone are the old days when an agrarian South sent its cotton to booming textile mills on the river banks of New England. New England has moved to a New South, and the old mills are brick shells of their former selves, for their machinery has gone southward to an unexploited labor supply, a milder climate, and more accessible raw materials. The South is fighting, and rightfully so, for adequate industry to balance its predominantly agricultural economy, but in its eagerness is the South forgetting the dictates of caution? The fact that some business bears the label "industry" does not make it per se a valuable addition to a community. The South's battle for a diversified economy has been a genuine fight, but we have accepted more than one crumb from northern tables by grabbing at any straw that could possibly be construed as industry. The sweatshop is not an academic evil associated with New York tenement houses, but the South has its share of sweatshops and instead of fighting them has condoned many. There are the sordid tales of high school children being given "vocational training" by working a full-time day in factories, of cities having mortgaged themselves to buy buildings for worthless industry. One wonders if the government ever found out about the WPA "schoolhouse" in Mississippi which mysteriously became a 20-cents-an-hour factory as soon as it was completed. Numerous cities have taken the the risk of future relief burdens from some industry which may be gone tomorrow, but are not collecting one cent of taxes from the industry to insure against the" relief contingency. All because the South needs industry. Maybe it does, but it needs healthy, wholesome industry which will be an asset instead of a parasite. Other sections of the country can keep their fly - by - night sweatshops which milk labor of its worth then move on to unexploited fields, never paying their way. It will require vigilance and disappointments to separate the bad from the good and take only what is goodj but the long run benefits will be immeasurably greater. Off To The Wars REGARDLESS OF whether we like it or not, it looks as if the War Department has already decided what each of us will do and where we will go if the United States should become involved in the present European strife. If we may accept Collier's as an authority, the War office in Washington already has our war machine primed to turn out armies. Within eight days after America goes to war 12,000,000 men between the ages of 21 and 30 will be registered for training. Four days later the drawing will begin; it will be like a huge lottery— with military training and first crack at the enemy for the winners. In a little over 100 days after we are drafted we will be sufficiently trained to fight somebody somewhere. Between the ages of 21 and 30 and 31 and 45, the army believes there will be nine and one half million men fit to fight for their country. The lists of these men have been compiled for some time now, their names being taken from every voting precinct in the United States. Every man, regardless of his occupation and physical condition, is tabulated. From the files of the Social Security Board, from the Census Bureau, and from the lists of ROTC students the names have been taken. All of us on the lists, of course, will not be accepted. Some of us may be physically unfit, but our service will not be deferred until we have been examined by a military board of doctors after we have been drafted and sent to a training camp. But even if we don't meet the physical requirements we will be given a job "' where our physical ineptitude will make little difference. This time we are all going to war. Every private motor car will be subject to conscription. Men and women beyond the conscription age will drive them. Even privately-owned factories may be taken over for government use. They might even ask us to give a share of our money for national protection and mobilization. We're all going to war next time. P.H. Well? By John Ivey, Jr. 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. THE STUDENT OPINION poll has served two very important purposes. First the Executive Cabinet has a very tangible means of proving that practically the entire student body is opposed to the present absence rule. Although the opposition has been present for quite some time, there has never been any reliable way of proving it until the opinion poll was held. Second and most important is the fact that now the student governing group has the support and evidence that some plan should be devised to replace the rules under which we are not functioning. Contrary to some comment concerning the object of taking such a vote, the Cabinet was only trying to find the reaction of the students as a whole and thereby have tangible support from the entire group in its presentation of the problem to the administration. * * * It is not the place of the Executive Cabinet to try to work out a new absence rule; however, it is the duty of this group to present to the Executive Council what is undoubtedly the will of the group having voiced its opinion. This it will do. For four years we have heard the fatherly voice of our officials feeding us the virtues of democratic government, stating that only through such management of affairs, whether it be of a national nature or simply a small organization, that we could hope to be able to cope with problems that will come to us as citizens in future life. To those same patient and well-schooled officials the student body is turning now with a resolve to really find out how democratic we are here at Auburn. Before the opinion poll was held we were told that in proceeding along this line we would undoubtedly make some of the members of the Executive Council feel that they were being "high-pressured" into changing the absence rule, that we would do the movement more harm than good by carrying on; however, the Student Executive Cabinet decided to give the men on this group a chance to demonstrate to the student body exactly those same things that we harve been taught about democracy since starting as freshmen at Auburn. * * * As the issue now stands the next move pertaining to the working out of some change in the absence rule is in the hands of the Executive Council, a group representing the administration. * * * There's just something about this newspaper work that just gets you. The freshmen trickle in and go to work every September. Ye Ed tells them that they're always welcome at the Plainsman office, no matter whether they're working or not. They all grin as if thinking, "Who wants to loaf around here anyhow?" But before long they begin to drop in every day, and somebody gives them some task around the office. Soon they're insulting the editor and cussing the business staff just like veterans. In a few weeks most of them are dropping around four or five times a day. Come about November and the boys eat, sleep, and study at home, but all their spare time is spent in the Plainsman office. Don't tell us that this newspaper work doesn't get you. It happens every year the same way. And they all love it. * * * Last week at the Associated Collegiate Press Convention the old "war eagle" came in for a new use. During the evening a group of the boys from the middle west in cooperation with the fellows from the South decided to answer the yells across the hall in which delegates from the entire country were seated. The Yankee editors had ganged up with the copy producers from the far West and had composed some new yells of their own. Someone piped up with a question as to what would be a good rebel yell. Bob Armstrong winked at John Godbold and told the boys that he thought a few good "war eagles" would serve the purpose. Thereupon the crowds there assembled got an earful of our favorite football game vocal effort. The boys from Ohio and Iowa thought it great fun, and before the night was over the "war eagle" was being tossed around by practically everyone present. With the Co-ops—By A Fred Henning LAST OF ALL we meet the freshman class of co-operative students of section A, now in school. The freshman class, the largest of the three class groups, is made up of 59 "rats." They come from all parts of the state, and as a group represent 27 different employers. These fellows have not as yet completed any work on their co-operative jobs since it was their choice to attend classes before going to work. Their alternates, however, now comprising part of section B, are already punching clocks for those same 27 employers. Among this group of employers there are 18 new names on the list of companies, corporations, mills, railroads, and governmental departments maintaining part-time, co-operative jobs for students. In view of such information it is evident that these freshmen did some high-pressure selling to land these jobs so that they might come to school. On the other hand, there is another group among the freshmen who as yet are unassigned to co-operative student employers. College officials believe, however, that most of these assignments will be made before the close of the current quarter. Besides being the largest class, the freshmen co-ops are represented in more fields of engineering than are either of "the other two classes. Their roster shows members enrolled in six of the engineering courses taught here in Auburn. As a group these freshmen show a slight preference for electrical engineering, being represented in that study by 15 members. The remaining engineering courses in which these freshmen are enrolled and the number in each are as follows: 12 in mechanical, 10 in civil, nine in chemical, eight in textile,- and one in industrial. The new field of engineering on which these freshmen have embarked is textile. Neither the pro-junior nor the sophomore class of co-ops has textile engineering students among its ranks. This is explained by the fact that one-third of the new employers of coop students are empjoying students in textile engineering. All in all, these freshmen co-ops are active in campus activities and are already proving themselves good students. * * * W. K. Jennings, a sophomore in Section A, was unassigned until last Friday at which time he was given a job with the Pullman Standard Car Manufacturing Company, in Bessemer. His acceptance of this offer necessitated his having- to transfer to section B. Another position offered by the Tennessee Coal, Iron and Railroad Company was filled just recently by M. O. Smith, who had enrolled as a regular student at the opening of the fall term. Both Smith and Jennings are now at work and will return to classes with Section B in December. 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. MENACED LAST year by the martial Martians of Mars, Auburn is once more being invaded by the war-like inhabitants of a belligerent planet. Those venomous vicious vipers of Venus have encamped in various lodgings throughout the campus and are busily plotting their nefarious schemes. * Under the guise of coming down here to slip and slide with the riffin' slip-horn of Russ, the fair Amazons will leave the campus in a state of ruin and desolation. Armed with curling eyelashes and teasing smiles, these facetious femmes fatale will rip many a vest or shirt to get that fraternity pin. Such things are esteemed, and such methods sanctioned . . . . on Venus. And the wailing will be loud and long, and the students will wear black . . . and white. Yea, the mournful cries would awake pity in the hearts of little old sticks and stones, but the gals will not soften. But we can't blame the maids, bless their little hearts, because they mean well . . . maybe. * * Some of them really like their dates, 'tis said, and some are not as bloodthirsty as others, and,' maybe, there will be many a pin-hanging. Gaffed by that glittering gob of gold, the gals will gasp gracefully and greedily grab the guys. Then . . . the clinch, fade-out, and pin hanging. * * * A warning will do no good for even the most hardened of the B. M. O. C.'s on the campus. Only experience will help, and even its effect lasts only a short time. Nevertheless, in pity for the coming plight of many, I shall give a few of the ways which may prove at least partially successful in repelling the fair invaders. * # * * The most effective way of combating this menace is to lock your doors and bury your nose in a book. Have your meals sent up by a rope from the window. Pull down the shades and don't look out. Get under the bed and stay there quietly. On no pretext listen to the radio, for this is the surest road toward breaking your resolutions and venturing out. This method would be almost safe, except that you won't follow it. You'll slip out to the dance to see just what that little girl your roomie has looks like, and you will be lost. Indeed, you haven't a chance, for it is inscribed on the sacred stones of Solomon that your next step will be to dance with the gal. After that, the late date and the feeling t h a t ' i t ' s hard on your roomie but that this is the real thing at last and that it's meant to be. She gets the pin. Later, you and your roomie simultaneously begin telling of your pin hanging experiences. Lo and behold, the wench has both pins. Your resolutions will last 'til the midterms . . . maybe. * * * * * Combat plan number two is known as the smoke-screen baffler. You fire up your pipe and retire behind the sheltering cloud. When the persistent miss asks who is there you falteringly reply, "Ain't nobody here 'cept ole black Sam, ma'am. I'se jest peeling the taters fo dinnah. Yas ma'am, dat's all." You feel pretty good now, but the damsel answers, "Well, come on out, Sam. You Ebony Council members have some sort of pin, don't you?" * * * * * * Number three is known as the I-can-be- as-tough-as-you-can trial and error system. You take her to the dance and promptly make her furious by flirting with some other bag. The gal you're flirting with turns out to be a bombshell and she gets your pin. You borrow a pin to wear so that your date won't catch on. She's not angry but jealous, and she begins her campaign. Before the evening is over, she has the pin. You ain't doing so hot. * * * * * * * The conversation on homeward bound trains after the dances runs something like this. "I'll swap you this pin for that one. I think yours is so much prettier." "Which one? Oh, that one? I like it too, but Fll swap if you'll throw in a pledge button!" * * * * * * * * * Along the same lines, Carrie, the Campus Conniver, connived this one right out of a local collection. "I always say," says Carrie, little pretender that she is, "be very, very careful during duck-hunting season . . . especially if you're a duck!" * * * * * * * * * This week it's Boston. I'm sticking my neck out, as betting men use my selections as a basis for their wagers, but I'll get one sooner or later. Anyway, it's Auburn 53, Boston 6. College Students of Country Opposed to Any Change in Present Neutrality Law The New Student Center CAMPUS LEADERS—"Hank" Parker THE NEW SYSTEM of operation for the Student Center whereby several improvements are being made and it will be kept open at night is the partial culmination of a dream which students have had for lo these many years. Granted, the installation of a nickelodeon and drink machine will not make a palace of the Center, but they are steps in the right direction. The next step will be a soda fountain, an orchestra once or twice a week, and floor shows. Eventually we may acquire the long - sought - for student union building with all the facilities which would make any student body happy. Until then a constantly- improved Student Center will satisfy most of o ur needs and at least will keep some of us out of the brew joints. "HANK" PARKER — his professors call him Hankins—came to Auburn from Brewton, Ala. Some Brewton scribe might write a book about "Hank" and call it "Local Boy Makes Good," because the diminutive Parker has done just that in the four years he has been in Auburn. This year he is the business manager of the Glomerata. "Hank" is enrolled in veterinary medicine, and has one more year after this one before he can be a full-fledged D.V.M. When asked about his future plans he replied that he would "probably go into small animal work." Parker wears the round key of ODK, is a member of the Junior AVMA, and is a pledge in Alpha Psi fraternity. "Hank" entered politics in the spring of his sophomore year when he joined the race for junior representative to the Cabinet. A dark horse, no one knew exactly what his chances would be, but he demonstrated in short order, for he was swept in by a landslide of votes. During the summer of '38 he served as business manager of the rat bible for the year. Last spring he had little trouble in winning the Glomerata post. He is quite interested in church work and has taken quite an active part in it. At the recent Baptist Student Union convention held at Howard College in Birmingham Parker was elected state president of the BSU. He serves on the AS THE NATION debates the way to stay out of a European war, what is American college youth thinking and saying about the situation? Scores of personal interviewers last week completed the first of this year's polls for the Student Opinion Surveys of A-merica on campuses from coast to coast—and found: 1. Students are opposed to changing t h e neutrality law, mainly because they believe this would involve the U. S. 2. Even if the Allies were in danger of losing to Germany, the U. S. should not send troops to help them. 3. College men—almost 6 out of every 10—say they would not volunteer if England and France were losing and this country went to their aid. With the cooperation of the Plainsman and over a hundred other member newspapers, ballots have been gathered for the Surveys from typical students the nation over, making up a scientific cross-section on which are based these weekly studies of college thought. Since the methods used are exactly those of famous public opinion polls that have shown remarkable accuracy, the Surveys represent the sentiments of all the one and a half million American collegians. While Congressional oratory got underway in Washington, interviewers stopped students in local council and is director of the senior Baptist Training Union. For two years he has been a member of the YMCA cabinet. According to his staff members, "Hank" is doing a fine job handling the business side of the yearbook. Stating that his "only hope is that the students will like it," Parker added that he was going to do all that he could to "put out the best Glomerata we've ever had." halls, libraries, dormitories, asked : "Should the neutrality law be changed so that any country at war could buy war supplies in the United States?" YES, answered .... 42 per cent NO, answered .... 58 per cent To the question, "If England and France were in danger of defeat, should the U. S. send troops to help them?" only 36 per cent replied "yes." Following that query, men students, the majority of whom are of conscription age, were ask- • ed; "If England and France were in danger of defeat and the U. S. declared war on their enemies, would you volunteer?" The results : Would volunteer.... 42 per cent Would NOT volunteer .... 58 per cent Significantly, events in recent months, climaxed by actual combat in Europe, have apparently influenced a good many, for in February, 1939, the Surveys found that only 2 out of every 10 would volunteer if this country went to war for other reasons than the defense of the country. These opinions, of course, are not a prediction of what would happen if this nation did declare w a r. Shifts in sentiment may already be seen since world war has become more of a possibility. No one can tell what war fever can do. This survey was begun about the time when Hitler made his last peace offer, and at that time students, as they have in the past, displayed their lack of confidence in the Fuehrer. Only 13 per cent declared England and France should accept his proposals for the sake of world peace. Sentiment was found to be unusually uniform in all parts of the country in the topic involved. November 3, 1939 THE AUBURN P L A I N S M AN Page Three All Home Ec Girls Obtain Positions YOUNG BAPTISTS OF STATE CHOOSE PARKER AS HEAD Hankins F. Parker, Glomerata business manager and local Baptist student leader, was named president of the State Baptist Student Convention at the annual meeting in Birmingham last week. Parker succeeds William Weaver of Howard College as convention head, and will serve for one year. In addition to his work with the Glomerata staff, Parker is a member of ODK, AVMA, and was recently named for "Who's Who Among American College Students." This is the first time an Auburn student has been elected as president of the state Baptist organization. The next convention will meet in Auburn in the fall of 1940. It has been five years since the State meeting has been held in Auburn. Fifty Auburn students and leaders attended the convention representing the local BSU. Earl Gardner, local president was in charge of the delegation which was the largest from any college or school in the state. Approximately 400 were in attendance representing 15 colleges and schools. Men's Glee Club To Sing Before Montgomery Group Pres. L. N. Duncan and the Auburn Glee Club will take part in a special "Auburn Day" program before the People's Bible Class in Montgomery Sunday morning, November 5, at the Empire Theatre in Montgomery. Beginning at 9:30 a.m., the program will precede the regular address by Judge Walter B. Jones, teacher of the non-denominational Bible Class. As usual, the program and Judge Jones's address will be broadcast over Station WSFA, Montgomery. The program will open with the Glee Club and the audience singing, "Glory, Glory Dear Old Auburn", after which W. H. (Billy) Barton, president of the Montgomery Auburn Alumni Chapter will speak and introduce President Duncan. A group of six selections will be sung by the Glee Club, including three Negro spirituals, and Gordon Hubbard, baritone, will appear on the program as a soloist. The program will close with the Auburn Alma Mater. The program has been arranged by Harley L. Williams, chairman of the Board of Control of the People's Bible Class, and Lawrence Barnett, director of the Auburn Glee Club. Graduates of '39 All Wed or Employed Including several who have married since graduation, all of the 36 young women who graduated this year at Auburn in home economics are now employed, according to Mrs. Marion Spidle, head of the Home Economics School. Of this number, 11 are now assistant home demonstration agents in Alabama; five are assistant home management supervisors with the Farm Security Administration; and others are employed as home economics demonstrators with public utility companies, teachers of home economics in high schools, and student dieti-tions in hospitals.

If You Need Scissors, Finger Nail Files or Toilet Articles of any description —- Come by the BEN FRANKLIN STORE H. R. HUBBARD, Mgr. Professor Gets Letter Describing European Crisis A letter received here recently by Dr. Edward E. Cureton, of the Auburn School of Education, from a professor at the University of Edinburgh gives an idea of the British attitude in the present European War. Prof. Godfrey H. Thomson, of the department of education at the Scottish university, wrote to Dr. Cureton complimenting him on a recent published study, "The Principal Compulsions of Factor- Analysts". His letter, dated, Sept. 1, follows: "This is I fear a historic date, our school children are at this moment being evacuated, my son of 22 is somewhere in the Mediterranean, and the clock appears to have been put back by 25 years. But there is nothing further I can do, and so I have opened a reprint which came from you this morning, and for twenty minutes I have actually forgotten the present. Very many thanks for one of the wittiest articles on factor analysis that I have ever read—no, not one of the wittiest, easily far the wittiest. If by any good chance this war is over I hope I may be able to make your personal acquaintance in 1940 at the International Conference of Psychologists here next July. But much I fear will happen before then. In any case many thanks. Yours sincerely, Godfrey H. Thomson." ing graduate work at Auburn in textiles; Leonora Patridge is teaching in Brent, and Carrie Maude Jordan is employed as assistant manager by the Jordan Lumber Company in Washington County. Several members of the 1939 home economics graduates have married, including Kathleen Snow who married Paul Gilmore; Rene Gibson, who is now Mrs. Andrew Pollard; Margaret Fryer, who is now Mrs. George Brazelton; and Louise Welsted, who is now Mrs. Charles Strozier and resides in Jefferson City, Tenn. Among the five students recently elected to the Auburn social committee are two athletes, Carl Happer, Birmingham, and Charlie Kilpatrick, Carrollton, a junior and senior, respectively. Happer is a reliable in both football and baseball, and Kilpatrick is a crack pitcher on the diamond. ALUMNI OFFICE SEEKS ADDRESSES OF GRADUATES Lost! Thirty-five alumni!

Nebraska MONDAY MORNING QUARTERBACKS HOLD MEETINGS Auburn supporters in Birmingham and Montgomery are holding weekly Monday morning quarterback meetings to discuss football. Beginning last Monday, Auburn supporters and members of the Alumni Association are holding regular Monday morning meetings every week at the Whitley Hotel in Montgomery. In Birmingham too, a similar group holds weekly meetings. Last Monday the Birmingham group met with Alabama adherents to discuss week-end results and pick next week's winners. These get-togethers are in the form of a luncheon with results of the last weeks game being discussed along with plans for attending each forthcoming football game. Finland Denies Change in Olympics The International Olympic committee denied this week that any action had been taken toward removing the 1940 games from Finland to Detroit. "Any decision regarding the games will be taken only after Finland renounces them," authorities said. Meanwhile, in Helsingfors a Finnish foreign office spokesman said, "Finland has by no means renounced intentions of holding the 1940 games and still has hopes of holding them if the situation permits." He added that Finland expected to make no decision until May, the deadline which would allow the Finns at least three months for final preparations. Work on the Olympic stadium, adjacent fields, the swimming pool and athletic department buildings still is proceeding, but slowly because of the uncertain political situation. Workmen now are constructing bleachers in the stadium to accommodate 60,000 for the games. Final plans for the entire Auburn ROTC to attend the Tigers five-star intersectional football battle with Villanova in Birmingham, Armistice Day, November 11, as a unit, have been completed. The cadets, who will number close to two thousand, will have a prominent part in the Armistice Day parade in the Magic City a few hours before the Tigers kickoff against the Pennsylvania Wildcats.

Tiger Athletes Star In Classroom As Well As In Sports Competition Two Highest Averages Made by Senior Athletes Surprising as it may seem, Auburn's athletics are as proficient in the classroom as they are on the athletic field. In fact they might be called "brain men" as .well as "muscle men." During the second semester of last year some of the participants in sports outshone most of the non-participating students. The highest average attained in the entire school during the second semester of last year was reached by an athlete, Frank B. Gunter of Phenix City, a senior and distance man on the track team. He accumulated one of the highest averages in Auburn history, 97.71. Second highest average for the same semester was also that of an athlete, this time a member of the polo sq,uad, Elmer Almquist, who averaged 96.63. Almquist has also taken an active part in intramural sports. Others whose grades were over 90 were Walter Chandler, guard on the football team, whose average of 92.06 was one of the highest in his course, business administration; George Long, senior in veterinary medicine and a member of the track team, who reached 91.17; and Buddy McMahan, quarterback on the football team, who averaged 90.62 in electrical engineering. In all 35 athletes were listed in the group of students averaging 80 and above, as announced by the Registrar's Office. Eleven men from the football squad reached the "80 or above" mark: Franklin P. Buckner, Geter Cantrell, Walter Chandler, Getty Fairchild, Carl Happer, George Kenmore, Gordon MacEachern, Herndon McGehee, Buddy McMahan, Max Morris, and Bud Wendling. The baseball squad was represented by Louis Diamond, Ralph Frazier, Earl Hawkins and Ray D. Loworn. Kavanaugh's Points Pass Century Mark Giant Ken Kavanaugh, LSU's great pass-catching end, marched past the 100-point mark in scoring by tallying two touchdowns against Vandy last Saturday. Kavanaugh's touchdowns during his three seasons as a varsity star now number 19 for a total of 114 points. An extra point made on a pass this season brings his points to 115. From the track team were Jack Cagle, Ben Dawsey, Bob Dickinson, Frank Gunter, George Hard-wick, George Long, Herbert Martin, Chuck Morgan, Forrest Homer Morgan, Robert Morton, David Sprinkle, and Roy Wilson. Four polo players attained the honor rating: Elmer Almquist, Bob Armstrong, John Blunschi, and Dick Hall. From the tennis team were three over-80 men: J. W. McKee, W. W. Thompson, and Vernon Wells.

Classes will meet three times a week in the afternoon, the days to be selected later by the students taking part. Practice will be held on the top floor of the textile building with the best and most experienced fencers of last year's group serving as coaches. All students wishing to take part have been invited to do so and should turn in their names to the Intramural Sports Office in Samford Hall some time before November 15. The fencing group holds two tournaments in the spring of each year, one for freshmen and the other for all classes. All equipment is furnished by the intramural sports department. Last year around 25 boys and girls participated in fencing. J. C. Hogg, senior in electrical engineering, was the winner of the all-campus tournament.

Deal, Cheatham, Faulk, Samford, Crimmins, Chalk-and Cremer are the boys who will bear the burden along with such sturdy veterans as Capt. Howell, Ernie Mills, Kenmore, Dick McGowen, Carl Happer and Mai Morgan. The sophs clicked where seasoned campaigners failed, and Coach Meagher will begin building his 1940 team now with these men. They should help knock over a couple or three mighty good football teams while acquiring experience and finesse at the firing line. 8 OOTf SXQATFoRO Seems that one Mr. McKeever of Boston College was sent forth to scout the Tigers during the Tech game. Mr. McKeever elected to fly down, ran into a rather bumpy head wind, and arrived just in time to see the last play of the game! But that ain't all. Seems also that said Mr. McKeever developed an extremely acute case of air sickness on the way down and didn't really care whether he saw the game or not! * * * Boston will be handicapped by the absence of the little colored jumping bean, Lou Montgomery, who was held out of the Florida game and will be held out of Saturday's affair with Auburn'. * * * They're really beating the publicity drum up Mid- West way for Tommy Harmon, pace setter of the Michigan point-a-minute men. They can't figure if he is bet-ten than Red Grange in his prime or only just as good! * * * What we said last week about the Tech game being a "must have" affair has become qualified by the fine first-half game that the Tigers played. Any team that can play like than, even in spots, has plenty on the ball and will just maul almighty heck out of some unsuspecting ball club ere the evening of December 9 comes around. * * * Missing four picks out of 10 choices last week sent us down for a count of nine, but here we are back on our feet, a bit groggy, it's true, pickin' 'em again. The War Eagles of Auburn over Frank Leahy's Eagles of Boston College. . . . The East won't see any more football from down Auburn way like they witnessed in the Manhattan spectacle—the Tigers, lean and victory hungry, are after this one. The Irish Green over the Gold and Black and Gray of Army. . . . Notre Dame won't need her now almost legendary luck. Mississippi over Vandy. . . . They say that the Commodore team is a sleeping giant—they'll be sleeping sounder than ever when Junior Hovious slips them a few knockout drops. Georgia Tech over Duke. . . . A toughie, but we believe the Jackets have the goods this year. Too bad they had to play Notre Dame so early. Tennessee over the Bayou Bengals of LSU. . . . LSU will need more than their Bird-Kavanaugh combination to even get a good sweat out of the vicious Vols of Major Neyland. Kentucky's Wildcats over 'Bama's Tide. . . . We tried a long shot with State over the Crimson and White last week, so now we try at a little closer range with the Wildcats. Cornell over Columbia. . . . Even the Columbia Lion on the comeback trail isn't tough enough for Carl Snavely's Rose Bowl-eyeing Big Red outfit. Rice over Fordham. . . . Pore ol' Rice is from below the Mason-Dixon Line, so the nod goes to the Owls with fingers crossed. Southern Cal over Oregon State. . . . The Trojans will be gunning for this one, for with the Beavers under their belt, it looks like Coast title and a Rose Bowl jaunt. A I T , 11 | Snakes Down ATO's uburn learn to Meet ForPOO^H™e Bostonians Tomorrow Tigers Out for Victory After Defeats In Georgia Tech and Manhattan Games An up-and-coming Auburn eleven invades the East once more tomorrow as they meet the also up-and-coming Boston College Eagles in Fenway Park, Boston. The Tigers entrained from the Loveliest Village Wednesday night, unlimbered train-stiff muscles in a workout in Greensboro, N. C, yesterday and arrived in Boston at 1:40 p.m. today where they are staying at the Kenmore Hotel. (Meet those Tigers, win or lose, at 11:44 Monday morning.) Practice last week continued to be featured by the play of sophomores Cheatham, Deal, Faulk, Samford, Crimmins and Chalkley and it is likely that these men will start off against the Maroon and Gold. But the sophs have not jostled such veterans as Dick McGowen, Capt. Milton Howell, Ernie Mills, Mai Morgan, Carl Happer and George Kenmore out of the spotlight. McGowen continues to be sensational with his booting, while his running, which has improved markedly over last year, continues on the upswing. Jumpin' George Kenmore, who chunked the Plainsmen's six pointer against the Yellow Jackets, has sparkled in carrying the mail in practice last week and also in slinging aerial efforts, the principal receiver being Carl Happer. Happer, who threw that vital thrust to Dick McGowen to score against State, also gave his pitching arm a good workout against scrub opposition the past week. Up at Chestnut Hill in the Hub City, Gloomy Gil Dobie has retired to the life of a country squire and the keeper of the Eagles is now boyish Frank Leahy, Notre Dame man who molded the famous Seven Blocks of Granite at Fordham before taking over the reins at Boston. So the Dobie precision line smashes are supplanted by the scampers off the conventional Notre Dame shift right and left formations.

After playing four scoreless ties, Sigma Nu downed the ATO boys by gaining more yardage in four downs yesterday afternoon, thereby winning the touch football championship of League Number Two. For three times the two teams battled each other, neither being able to score. The fourth game was played yesterday and it too ended in a scoreless deadlock. By agreement the four-down rule was invoked and the Sigma Nu's came through with a yard-gaining run which won the game for them. The SPE's have already won in League Number One. In League Number Three the Sigma Chi's and Kappa Alpha's have each won two games with two yet to be played. League Number four ended in a three way tie between Delta Sigma Phi, Pi K A and SAE. The Pikes eliminated the Delta Sigs in a close game Sunday afternoon and were in turn defeated 12-0 by the SAE's, champions of that league. Inter-league playoffs will begin October 30. In other games of last week ATO won over Sigma Pi, 20-0, Pi Kappa Phi and Phi Delta Theta tied up at 0-0, and Delta Sig defeated Alpha Psi, 35-0.

Page Six THE A U B U R N P L A I N S M AN November 3, 1939 FAMOUS ITALIAN DOCTOR VISITS VET SCHOOL Leading Pathologist Addresses Local Kiwanis Club Meeting Auburn was host to a distinguished visitor last week when Dr. Alberto Ascoli, former -head of the department of pathology at the School of "Veterinary Medicine in Milan, Italy, visited the School of Veterinary Medicine here. In this country for a meeting of the International Microscopists Association, which was held in New York City, Dr. Ascoli spent several days here observing the methods employed in the veterinary school. The ship in which he came to America was delayed by war activities and he was unable to attend the convention as was his intention. While in Auburn he addressed the local Kiwanis Club. In his speech he brought out that Europe is losing her preeminent place in scientific achievement, while America is progressing more and more rapidly. Dr. Ascoli is an internationally known scientist and a widely recognized authority in the field of pathology and immunity. In addition to having written numerous treatises on immunity, he has done extensive experimental work in Bang's disease and undulant fever. Vet Med Seniors Inspect Atlanta Packing Plant The senior class in veterinary medicine, under the direction of Dr. W. M. Howell, spent last Friday on a meat inspection tour in Atlanta, where they observed packing operations of the White Provision Company. A study of the entire procedure of the company was made. The livestock buyers explained the methods of grading various types of livestock which were brought to the plant. They observed operations in the slaughter room, and then in the inspection room. Federal meat inspectors demonstrated the method required by the government in the inspection of meat that is to be sold for public consumption. Their observations included the manufacture of packaged goods, such as breakfast bacon, boiled hams, weiners, and meat loaf. NOW AVAILABLE!

So says Arthur Freed, Hollywood producer, who learned his entertainment A, B, C's at the knee of that master discoverer of kid stars—Gus Edwards. "It is my personal opinion-that Rooney at seventeen is a much more talented kid than was the one and only George M. Cohen at that age. Mickey's supremacy comes in his versatility. He is equally at home in pathos and drama as he is in comedy. "Cohen started writing songs when he was 17. Mickey started writing them two years ago. I've written quite a few myself and I think I can judge music. Mickey's newest song, 'Love on the Range' is, in my opinion, better than anything Cohen ever wrote and I realize that I'm taking my reputation in my hands when I say that. "Mickey, it seems, can do anything. In 'Babes in Arms' he does everything that any of them ever did. He has dramatic scenes, he has comedy scenes, he sings, he dances, he gives impersonations, he plays the piano^-everything." "Babes in Arms", starring Rooney and Judy Garland, will be shown Sunday and Monday at the Tiger Theatre. Miss Lucille Rhodes, chairman of the educational committee, has arranged the program. * * * Professor E. D. Hess announces the formation of a choral reading club that will hold its meeting twice each month. The first regular meeting will be held Monday night at 7:00 p.m. in room 3 in the "L" Building.
