Council.
Eta Kappa Nu
Selects Ted Ellis
Last Friday's story on the tap­ping
of Eta Kappa Nu should
have stated that Ted Ellis was
tapped by the organization in­stead
of Ted Chiles, whose name
was erroneously given to the
Plainsman.
Ellis is a senior in electrical
engineering from Ft. Payne.
Tulane Breaks PHI PSI TEXTILE FRATERNITY SELECTS
Three-Year Jinx SIX NEW MEMBERS FOR THIS YEAR
To Down Auburn
Auburn Gets in Scoring
Position Several Times
But Unable to Tally
Tulane hadn't scored on Au­burn
for four years prior to Sat­urday's
game, but they displayed
power and plenty of it to down
the Plainsmen 12 to 0 before a
crowd of 30,000 fans in the Tu­lane
stadium in New Orleans.
The Green Wave scored in the
first quarter on an 82-yard drive,
featured by the ball carrying of
Bobby "Jitterbug" Kellogg and
Fred Gloden. The other Tulane
touchdown came in the fourth per­iod
when Harry Hays tossed a
15-yard pass to Captain Paul
Krueger over the goal. Both at­tempts
for extra points were wide.
Auburn had a few scoring op­portunities,
but they just couldn't
get going against the giant Tulane
team. In the second quarter they
had two chances to hit pay dirt.
And in the third period when
Haynesworth recovered Kellogg's
fumble on the Tulane 25, the Tig­ers
were within scoring distance,
but on the first play Nyman in­tercepted
Kenmore's pass intend­ed
for Faulk.
Tulane presented five of the
best backs in the conference in
Hays, Cassibry, Banker, Kellogg,
and Gloden.
The Wave outrushed Auburn
220 yards to 76 and chalked up
12 first downs to 3.
Dick McGowen played his usual
great game at left half. He boot­ed
three punts that were over 60
yards, and his average for the
game was 52 yards.
On the defense Captain "Hatch"
Howell, Malvern Morgan, and Al­ternate
Captain Bill Nichols stood
out. Teedy Faulk, sophomore end,
was in many minds one of the
outstanding individual players on
the field. He caught two passes
that put Auburn almost in scor­ing
position once. He was in on
a number of tackles and played
a consistently heads-up game.
Tulane attempted four passes
and completed one. Auburn at­tempted
16 and completed four.
Passes netted Auburn 46 yards
and Tulane 16. Tulane, however,
lost no yardage on attempted
passes, while Auburn lost 26.
In the first quarter Ernest
Mills, guard, was outstanding on
the defense for the Tigers.

One Senior and Five Juniors Tapped
For Membership in Honor Society
Phi Psi, national honorary textile fraternity, tapped
orie senior and five juniors at its meeting last night. The
formal tapping of these pledges will take place at a ban­quet
in a few weeks.
The lone senior selected was Forrester M. Smith, Kappa
Sigma from Prattville. The five juniors are John E. Dan-ner
from Nixburg, Flurah A. Head from Rockmart, Ga.,
John L. Rencher, a Phi Delta Theta from Opelika, Robert
L. Wilkerson from Notasulga, and

Phi Psi was founded in 1903 at
the Philadelphia Textile School by
five engineering students. Since
that date ten chapters have been
established in the leading tex­tile
schools of the United States.
Lambda chapter at Auburn was
established in 1935. The Auburn
chapter replaced the Tex Society
for textile engineers.
The purpose of this honorary
organization is: to promote good
fellowship among congenial men
of the textile schools and colleges,
to encourage a higher standard of
textile work, and to assist by ev­ery
honorable means, the advance­ment
of its members. Selection is
based on scholarship, leadership,
and achievements.

Colorful - And Hot
City Decorates and Puts
On Show for Annual Game
Between Auburn-Wave
By BOB CHISHOLM
A pageant of color formed the
setting for the battle between the
Auburn Tigers and the Tulane
Green Wave Saturday, as a hot
summer day brought the specta­tors
out in their shirt sleeves or
Palm Beach suits, with some of
them even wearing their old straw
"hats. Downtown New Orleans was
gaily decked out in flags and
bunting to welcome the Auburn
team and their supporters. Orange
and blue was in evidence every­where,
mingling nicely with the
Tulane green and white.
As the two teams took the field,
their uniforms stood out vividly
against the green turf. Auburn
wore the school colors, orange
jerseys with blue numerals, and
blue pants. The Tulane team was
clad in white jerseys with green
shoulders and numerals, and they
wore green moleskins. However,
the uniforms soon took on a bed­raggled
appearance because of
the soggy field and the hot wea­ther.
Before the game was over, the
numerals on the back of the Tu­lane
men were hardly visible, the
white shirts having become a dirty
grey. The orange shirts of the Au-

Editor Kelley De-Panted By Horde
Of Wild Indians At Plainsman Party
Glomerata Head Ponders
On Sins—Without Pants
Editor Kelley of the Glomerata
is panting after his pants. Maybe
he has found them by now. He
hadn't at a late hour last night.
Yes indeedy, Buck was divorced
from his trousers last night.
He was separated, removed, di­vested,
and shucked of his britches
and ensconced on the grass to
meditate in his sins in the late
night dew.
When asked for a statement
this morning Editor Kelley would
say nothing for publication. How­ever,
since he is too modest to
ask you about it, we'll do it for
him. If you see a nice pair of
pants running around without any
legs in them they might be Kel-ley's.
The pants not the legs.
You see, Editor Kelley was in­vited
to attend the annual Plains­man
party last night. He accept­ed.'
'Twas drawing nigh unto nine
o'clock when the foul deed was
did. Kelley sat blissfully on a rus­tic
bench munching a tender
steak and holding his date's hand.
Ah bliss!
Then without a moment's warn­ing
a war party of Sioux braves
came storming out of the woods
and set upon" him.
Other members of the party
stood rooted to the spot, petrified
with horror at the cruelty of the
crime. Blood - curdling screams
rang through the woods as the
hapless victim of Indian cruelty
was dragged away by his hair into
the darkness.
Somebody said, "Hand me a
another steak." A venturesome
coed whispered, "He was a pret­ty
good guy, wasn't he." But no­body
disturbed her blissful igno­rance,
not caring to tell her the
awful truth about the dear de­parted.
Some hours later the group sat
around the fire singing cheerful
songs. Right in the midst of the
Maine Stein Song a piteous moan
rose over the sound of the music.
All eyes turned to the origin of
the cry. Yes, it was Kelley, pants-less.
He had escaped from his
captors who hadn't wanted his
scalp after all but only his pants.
Unconfirmable was a rumor
that Lewis Arnold, Plainsman
staff photographer who was on
hand to take a picture of the
pants-removing, had been station­ed
there in advance.
But wait until you see the pic­ture.

be the climax of Fair festivities.

Allen to Head
Faculty Forum
About 200 members of the Au­burn
faculty and staff attended
the first Faculty Forum meeting
of the year, Wednesday at noon.
The Forum met for a luncheon
and to discuss certain preliminary
questions which were facing it.
The first business attended to
was the adoption of a consti­tution
and by-laws for a perman­ent
organization. This year marks
the beginning of a permanent or­ganization
for the Forum. The
election' of new officers for this
year was also carried out at this
meeting. These new officers are
Dr. Roger W. Allen, chairman;
Dr. Charles Davis, vice-president;
and Miss Berta Dunn, secretary.
Little was done besides the
business other than the friendly
.conversations held by the mem­bers
of the faculty. Dr. R. W.
Allen, the new chairman, stated
that a great amount of fellowship
was shown at the meeting. The
faculty members are expecting to
accomplish a great amount of
work this year as well as to gain
much recreation and enjoyment.
Miss Frances Barnes of Abbe­ville,
junior in home economics
education, has been selected by
the Ag Club as Queen of Harvest

Sing Out The News
THE RUMOR GOES the rounds
that the Glee Club and the
Auburn Players will combine
forces the 'second semester and
present an operatta.
The project is one of the best
to be advanced in Auburn this
year. While Auburn isn't over­burdened
with vocal talent, the
Glee Club ought to be able to
hold down its end with finesse.
And if the Players can success­fully
stage an elaborate May
Day, an operatta should be sim­ple.
We've all become a bit more
music conscious with the continu­ance
of the Concert Series, and
no better dessert could be added
to this year's offerings than a
well-presented operatta.
Maybe it would even mean a
few converts. We're just as ar­dent
a devotee of Artie Shaw as
an honest-to-goodness jitterbug,
but we would welcome a respite
from noisome swing.
Whoever is behind the project
has an excellent idea, and con­gratulations
to them if they can
iron out the difficulties which
are holding them back.
The King Of Beasts
SUNDAY afternoon we clipped
the following squib from an
old issue of the Alabamian from
Montevallo.
A ferocious lion broke loose in
a German village, and was ter­rorizing
the inhabitants, until the
village smithy confronted it,
grabbed its jaws, ripped them a-part
and then choked the beast
to death. A committee approach­ed
him and thanked the smithy
in the name of the entire com­munity.
"But we're going to do more
than just thank you," they said.
"We're going to take you to Ber­lin
and have you meet Hitler.
Perhaps he will give you a med­al."
"Do you know," said the black­smith,
"that I'm a non-Aryan?"
The committee drew back and
left him standing there. The next
day the local gazette carried the
headline: "Hebrew Attacks De­fenseless
Lion."
Ordinarily we might appreci­ate
that joke. Though no gem of
wit it might inspire a chuckle at
least. But it happened that Sun­day
morning we had read an ar­ticle
in a well-known magazine
telling of the rising tide of anti-semitism
in America. In the light
of what we had read we couldn't
feel very amused.
Anti-semitism isn't an objec­tive
concept to link with the
word "Hitler." It's here in Au­burn
and in every other Amer­ican
city. Possibly it has been pre­valent
all along, and we're just
noticing it for the first time, but
we just can't believe that we
have been that blind. The tide
of anti-semitism must be rising.
We've built a nation here on
the principle of personal free­dom.
Most of us are grandstand
quarterbacks on the subject of
our freedom, for no one has ever
tried very seriously to abridge it,
but it takes no fervent imagina­tion
to predict the result if some­one
did try. Yet in the midst of
our precious freedom we choose
to take somebody else's away
from them.
Somehow, we cannot forget a
phrase, "We hold these truths to
be self-evident: That all men are
created equal, that they are en­dowed
by their Creator with cer­tain
inalienable rights, and that
among these are life, liberty and
the pursuit of happiness." In
more ways than one, those words
have become empty phraseology.
In so far as the Jewish people
are concerned we believe them
wholeheartedly.
In every concept of the mean­ing
of the word Justice, can
there be any justice in oppress­ing
a man because he was born
of parents having a few physical
and mental characteristics which
differ from mine and yours.
If the day comes when Amer­ica
paints "Jude" on its shop
windows and chisels from its war
memorials the names of the he­roic
dead of the Jewish race,
then we'll be ashamed that we
are an American.
Polo's Here
AS THE BRISK winds of au­tumn
sweep across Bullard
Field the thunder of ponies'
hooves on the turf echoes through
the air. It can mean but one
thing—polo practice has begun.
Auburn enjoys the distinction
of being one of the few Southern
colleges to sponsor the thrilling
sport of polo. Auburn has a team
and a good one. Last year the
Plainsmen defeated such college
teams as Ohio State and Illinois,
as well as the teams from Fort
Benning and the Louisiana Na­tional
Guard. Auburn took all
comers and came through the
season undefeated.
Several of the members of that
championship team are missing
this year due to graduation, but
in their places are men who are
working and showing unexpect­ed
strength. These men will form
the aggregation t h a t will no
doubt put Auburn on top again
this year.
The schedule of games does
not include any fall games; all
matches are to be held in the
spring. Training goes on, how­ever,
and these practice sessions
are worth watching. B.C.
Background For War
WITH THIS ISSUE of the Plains­man
we are distributing copies
of "Background for War." More
than one quarter of America's
leading universities have already
commended this collection of ar­ticles
appearing in recent issues
of TIME as one of the best
sources to which a student can
turn for an understanding of the
circumstances leading up to the
present war.
The pamphlet has been on sale
at newsstands for five cents a
copy, and nearly 600,000 copies
have been sold.
Through the courtesy of the
editors of Time we have secured
2500 copies and are pleased to
pass them on to you.
Here, in TIME's original style
you will find:
1. A quick review of the diplo­matic
history of Europe
from Versailles to Locarno,
from Locarno to Munich;
2. An account of the successive
economic crises in Germany
which culminated in the
Nazi revolution;
3. A careful comparison of the
military power of the war­ing
nations;
4. A forecast of the strategy
of the war and a two-page
military map of Europe;
5. A study of the commander-in-
chief of the allied arm­ies;
6. An explanation of the war
in China and its significance
in the world crisis;
7. The neutrals, a study of
what war means to nations
on the sidelines.
WAXWORKS
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.
IT LOOKED AS THOUGH half of Au­burn
hit the trail to New Orleans
this past week-end. Everywhere and
anywhere one would run into familiar
faces enjoying freedom from school and
the boresome routine of college life.
* * *
Through a maze of one-way streets
some of the local speed demons found
themselves bewildered and confused
trying to become accustomed to the
narrow strips of darkness used for
streets in some sections of town.
Coming out of the Roosevelt Hotel,
we glanced down the street to see a
lost Auburnite creeping warily up the
street in a tired looking auto . . . the
only trouble lay in the fact that he was
coming up the wrong side of a one­way
street that was running toward
him instead of with him . . . a fat
guardian of the law walked out into
the middle of the street . . . the car
immediately performed a snappy about
face, dodged a couple of lamp posts
in a new burst of energy and then be­came
lost from view. The policeman
scratched his head and returned to his
endless watch.
* * *
Even though the 'Green Wave man­aged
to get the Tigers pretty wet Sat­urday
afternoon, the handful of Au­burn
supporters saw their football team
look mighty good even on the short end
of the score. That same crowd enjoyed
themselves warming up their respective
vocal chords in an effort to. drown out
the yells from the Tulane cheering sec­tion.
From all indications the results
were pretty favorable.
* * *
We have heard many stories about
the quality of some of the negro music­ians
playing in the so-called dives in
the French quarter, but after hearing
some of these horn tooters blowing
themselves blue in the face, the con­clusion
arises that the rumors are true.
Of especial interest was a three-piece
outfit featuring a big yellow fellow
pounding the ivories and two of the
darkest looking individuals playing
drums and cornet that ever crossed
these eyes.
* * *
The joint was a hole in the wall just
wide enough for a few very small in­dividuals
to squeeze between the wall
and the bar. Hovering around the bar
were several questionable looking per­sons
who possessed an undying thirst
for that Deep South whiskey and beer.
Leaning in the corner with a cigaret­te
hanging loosely between two pale
lips was a well-dressed person who look­ed
as though he might have the weight
of the world on his bony frame. His
watery blue eyes sent an expressionless
stare toward the dim forms of the three
musicians in the rear of the crowded
hallway." His attitude was likened to
many more of the patrons; the jive that
the boys were brightening their spirits
with hit no responsive note with the
customers.
* * *
We walked back toward the ignored
entertainers. The cornet player sat
amid a cloud of cigarette smoke, his
eyes closed, his face glistening with
perspiration, his horn modulating craz-ily
over the strains of "Blue Skies."
From the weed stuck between his
thumb and forefinger a lazy stream of
smoke climbed steadily into the blank­et
of tobacco smoke hovering above the
band. The drummer, a skinny looking
black man, was crouching behind a sad­ly
dilapidated set of instruments. An
old brass gong was serving in the stead .
of a cymbal, while his drum sticks
were broken on the ends. He grinned
at his companion at the piano as the
latter managed to produce a tune from
the ancient piano. The whole affair was
a bit tinny, but it can be truthfully
said these three down and out sons of
the South were improvising in a man­ner
that would make many a swing fan
sit up and listen.
* * *
Finally, tiring of the smelly atmos­phere,
we elbowed our way past the
drunks and future drunks to fresh air.
On the way out we again glanced at
the figure leaning in the corner. He
seemed suddenly tired of the place, slid
off the tarnished stool, opened his wal­let,
and tossed a bill on the counter.
He walked out without a sideward
glance. From the doorway we saw him
climb into a shiny black automobile and
drive away into the night. Funny town.
THIS WEEK WE ARE featuring some
old new tunes touched up with a bit
of color by the country's leading swing
bands. The big attraction is the Count
Basie group made up of many of this
band's outstanding disc productions.
* * *
"Oh Lady Be Good" hits the deck
from Count Basie in a medium tempo
that really makes you want to pat your
foot. The number features the Count
at the piano while the band backs Les­ter
Young and his fine tenor ride. On
the reverse side "You Can Depend on
Me" is the vocal expression of James
Rushing. Decca has a hit duo here.
For a bit of novelty Tommy Dorsey
features Edythe Wright in "All in Fav­or
of Swing Say 'Aye'." This number
gives the spotlight to the Dorsey band's
fine "get-off" men. Babe Rusin toot­ing
his tenor and "Yank" Lawson his
dixie-land trumpet. On the serious side
with "Stop Kicking My Heart Around"
Edythe Wright is again singing in her
usual fine style with a Dorsey trombone
taking its turn. A Victor.
* * *
Artie Shaw on a Bluebird release
"Last Two Weeks In July" and "Two
Blind Lovers" gives us a couple of sen­timental
new tunes in the Shaw man­ner.
Helen Forrest lends a charming
vocal course to each tune. Good ar­rangements
smoothly played that would
make a good addition to anyone's col­lection.
* * *
"Out The Window" by Count Basie
finds a touch of big-town swing from
this group of colored artists. This tune
is strictly swing. James Rushing vocal­ly
in "I Keep Remembering" on the
reverse side completes this Basie pro­duction
for Decca. These two numbers
offer an interesting exhibition of ad
lib courses.
* * *
One of the finest tunes of the week
is "In the Mood" jus^ recorded by
Glenn Miller and his famous band. Mil­ler
has featured this tune on his broad­cast
and now has it groomed for this
Bluebird production. The tune hits the
right tempo and is well arranged. "I
Want To Be Happy" is the other at­traction
on this strictly instrumental
record. We suggest a little time be giv­en
to this record.
More Basie on the old standby "Hon­eysuckle
Rose." Enjoyed most on this
tune is the fine work of the Basie bass
man who keeps the band' kicking by
his fine picking of the swollen violin.
"Roseland Shuffle" is found on the
reverse side of this Decca and is an­other
typical Count Basie arrangement
featuring some Basie ivory-beating.
* * *
Larry Clinton has just finished two
of his own tunes for Victor billed as
"Golden Bantam" and "Satan in Satin."
These two tunes are played in the light
swing maner of this famous band.
Strictly instrumental both are very in­teresting
and should be gems to the
Clinton fan. Victor. -
* * *
Jan Savitt and his sensational band
have a Decca release under the name
"It's A Hundred To One" and "The
Paper Pickers." Bon Bon gives his at­tention
to the vocal courses backed by
the so-called shuffle effect from the
rythmn, section. Something different
that promises to be a good attraction
is this Jan Savitt band.
* * *
"Good Morning Blues" and "Our
Love Was Meant To Be" are Count
Basie tunes on a Decca featuring James
Rushing and Earl Warren as vocalist on
the two tunes, respectively. For the
lover of good tenor courses with a
swinging background Lester Young
furnishes the kick on these tunes.
* * *
"Twilight Interlude" vocally describ­ed
by Carlotta Dale on this Jan Savitt
disc is good as a sentimental tune. The
band plays a very interesting arrange­ment
of "Vol Vistu Gaily Star" with
Bon Bon taking the vocal spotlight.
This tune has really been enjoying
popularity and has a new dress by the
Savitt band. Decca.
* * *
Sammy Kay's swing and sway music
has given us "Oriental Medley" and
"Friends." The first of these two tunes
features a group of oriental tunes
among which we find "Song of the
Nile." For commercial arrangements
and musicianship this record is good.
* * *
Tommy Dorsey gives his ever-popular
Jack Leonard the featured vocal on a
couple of tunes of the hour, "Day In-
Day Out" and "Blue Orchids." Both of
these tunes are enjoying widespread
favor now and are excellently played
in the Dorsey band's sweetest style.
Victor.
* * *
Maxine Sullivan has completed a
couple of good vocals on "Turtle Dove"
and "111 Wind." The last of these two
is especially attractive and fits natural­ly
into the lyric style of this artist.
Maxine should have many more calls
for recording dates of this kind.
Russ Morgan and "Music in the Morgan Manner"
IT'S A LONG WAY FROM the dusty
coal miner to the white tie and tails
of an orchestra leader, but Russ Mor­gan,
playing here with his orchestra
for the Opening Dances on November
3-4, has traveled that distance in a re­markable
manner.
Morgan's father was a mine fore­man
but also played the drum in the
local band. His mother was a former
pianist who had played vaudeville with
his father prior to his father's entrance
into the mining industry. As both par­ents
were interested in music, they
started their son on his musical career
at the age of seven.
When Russ was old enough he got a
job in the mines where his father was
foreman. He worked in the mines in the
daytime, and would practice his piano
lessons at night. He earned his first
musical dollar as a pianist at a Scran-ton
theatre. Saving the money earned
by his musical pursuits, he bought his
first trombone, the instrument that has
made him famous.
The early musical career of Morgan
can be compared to that of Allan Jones
who appears here on the Concert Series
next January and who was born and
raised in a similar mining section near
Scranton, where his father was also a
mining foreman.
He soon left Scranton after learning
to master the trombone and went to
Philadelphia where he obtained a job
as trombonist in Paul Specht's orches­tra.
Following this he went to Europe
as soloist with the orchestra. After
playing several engagements in Europe,
he returned to the United States and
went to Detroit where he obtained a
job as arranger in the State Theatre.
It was at the State Theatre that Russ
first became a musical director. One
day shortly after he had begun work
there, the musical director walked out
on the show just 20 minutes before
curtain time. Russ stepped into the posi­tion
and held it successfully for more
than a year, during which time he di­rected
nine commercial programs on
the radio.
Later he accepted an executive posi­tion
with Station WXYZ at Detroit.
Soon the inimitable "Music in the Mor­gan
Manner" became popular over the
air. In his spare time while working at
WXYZ he was making records with Joe
Venuti and his orchestra. It was here
that the Morgan-Venuti association was
established, destined to make "swing
history."
He went to New York soon after­wards
to arrange musical scores for
George White's Musical Scandals and
other outstanding musical comedy hits
on Broadway. He spent some time ar­ranging
music for the Cotton Club Re­vue
and also acted as musical director
for the Brunswick Record Corporation
at one time during his career.
With the National Broadcasting Com­pany's
encouragement he organized his
own orchestra. One month after the
forming of his band he started an en­gagement
at the Biltmore Hotel in New
York City, which was highly successful.
For two years he appeared with his
orchestra on the Philip Morris program
where "Music in the Morgan Manner"
scaled the heights in the realm of sweet
swing music.
Other intimate glimpses of Russ Mor­gan
show that he is six feet tall, has
brown hair and hazel eyes. He is still
afflicted with mike fright. Was once
arranger for Victor Herbert and John
Philip Sousa. His chief hobby is collect­ing
old coins of which he has more than
4000 in his personal collection.
And there you have Russ Morgan,
trombonist extraordinary and top notch
musical arranger. He'll be here on No­vember
3 and 4.
Letters to the Editor
Editor
The Auburn Plainsman
Dear Sir:
I realize that the Plainsman is not
for the benefit of high-school students
but the students of Auburn High do
read it as faithfully or more so than
do some college students. I, for one, cer­tainly
do, and I want to take this op­portunity
to congratulate "Bird-Legs"
Martin on his column. Having been
schoolmates of his we watch his progress
in the newspaper world with great in­terest.
We admire "Bird-Legs'" work
and enjoy his column and I hope he
will keep it as good and interesting as
it is.
Very truly,
A High School Student.

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 TEAM MADE ITS secret arrival
at 9:21 Sunday. A handful of sup­porters
managed to be there when the
train pulled in, but most of these met
the train just to mail letters. The only
group well represented was the Goon
Corps, whose members have sweeties
on the team.
Two cheerleaders made the trip to
the Crescent City, and these two, Chick
Hatcher and Joe Gandy, had not ar­rived
in Auburn by train time. Of the
four remaining, Davis Gammage must­ered
up the energy to get there, and he
led the small crowd in a "War Eagle"
or two. The other three were conspicu­ous
by their absence. . . . Whether they
were out of town or indisposed I do
not know.
Every man, woman, and child with
two feet who lives in Auburn and vi­cinity
should have met that train. Those
are our Tigers, and, win or lose, we are
behind them. They played a tough game
down there Saturday and had every
right to expect a reception at that train.
The band should have been there,
and the remaining cheerleaders should
have been there in uniform. Somebody
or some group should have planned a
homecoming reception which would
have equaled the send-off Thursday
night.
It's tough to play a game of football,
and it's tougher to lose one, but about
the toughest thing is to lose a hard-fought
game and to come home to find
that all of your fair-weather followers
have deserted you.
Let's don't let this happen again.
Let's see those Tigers when they come
back from every game, whether they
win, lose, or draw. We're for them,
and they know it, but it might make
the next game a little better if we
stick by them when they lose.

Poetry, To My Love
Your eyes are stars "in a sky of blue;
They shine and twinkle as little stars
do.
Your teeth are pearls from the shell of
your lips;
A glance from your eyes could sink
battleships.
Your lips are red coral that came from
the deep;
Your eyebrows were stolen from an
angel asleep;
Your little nose is as fair as the morn;
Your ears are so tiny they're almost
all gone. (Well, how would you
say it?)
Your hair is as wavy as are waves on
the sea.
No doubt you can see why you fas­cinate
me.
But . . . I'll never have a girl who looks
At me from t>e pages of story books.

Carrie, the Campus Cooperator, of­fers
the following rules to follow in
telling time by the college clock.
"Add six, multiply by the number of
eggs you had for breakfast, subtract
your French grade, and add 20. Think
of a number, divide by three, and add
to the total. Speak to professors and
cross on red light. If color blind, sub­tract
seven. Bid a club, and double the
minute hand. Redouble. Lead out
trumps and buy a watch. You'll prob­ably
get a beat anyhow."

Fraternities and
Sororities Entertain
Autumn Round of
Fetes Continues
Fraternities and sororities were
in the midst of the fall round of
social activities the past week as
pledges and new members con­tinued
to be honored by their
greek letter organizations.
A number of groups entertain­ed
on Saturday night, since most
of the students were in town, only
a few going to New Orleans for
the football game.
Zeta Delta Party
Zeta Delta, colonizing chapter
of Delta Zeta, entertained with a
pop corn party Wednesday night
on the lawn at the home of Mrs.
Charlotte Grimes. The Zeta Del­ta's
had as their guests pledges
from all the other sororities on
the campus.
Games and contests were en­joyed
and the social was conclud­ed
by the singing of a song by
each sorority group.
Theta Upsilon Barbecue
On Friday evening, Iota Alpha
chapter of Theta Upsilon enter­tained
their pledges and dates at
a delightful barbecue on the plan­tation
of Mr. and Mrs. Joe Aber-crombie
near Tuskegee. The group
started from Smith Hall and en­joyed
a hay ride to the plantation.
Plates were served on the ter­race.
The members, pledges, and
dates gathered informally around
a log bonfire. There was sugar
cane to chew while "Believe It Or
Not" stories were told. Sorority
and popular songs were sung by
the group. Many entered a con­test
for the tallest yarn.
Negroes from the plantation
sang several spirituals, and one
gave a very amusing and clever
reading.
The party was chaperoned by
Prof, and Mrs. F. W. Applebee,
Mr. and Mrs. H. W. Nixon, Mr.
and Mrs. R. E. Smith Jr., Mr. and
Mrs. Wilson Hill, and Miss Jewel
Davis, faculty adviser.
ftu/wowlk flavor?
Some pipes are "in a hurry"—fast and
furious—consume tobacco like a four-alarm
fire racing through a hay-mow.
Kaywoodie takes it easy, as a good pipe
should. Coaxes out the flavor of your
favorite leaf. Makes it mellow. Smooth
. . . Just for fun, we tried to measure this
famous but elusive Kaywoodie Flavor in
a good tough laboratory exam, and found
(1) Kaywoodie's smoke is actually cooler
than other pipes, cooler than mouth tem­perature!—
newt hot or irritating (2) the
smoke is what the French call sec—dry
and free from bitter juices. So get to
know the Kaywoodie Flavor—now!

Dr. Howell Speaks
At AVMA Meeting
Tell* of Dr. Cary's
Aims for Vet School
"College Life" was the subject
selected by Dr. W. M. Howell,
member of the veterinary faculty,
when he addressed members and
visitors at the meeting of the local
junior chapter of the AVMA last
Wednesday night.
Prior to his talk on the subject,
Dr. Howell outlined a brief his­tory
of the local School of Veteri­nary
Medicine in which he describ­ed
the original aims as set up by
its founder, the late Dr. C. A.
Cary.
"Dr. Cary," he said, "wanted a
veterinary school in which the
students could learn the practical
as well as the technical side of
the profession.
"The school," continued Dr.
Howell, "has steadily grown along
these lines, and we must not. let
our present development cause us
to lose sight of the principles
upon which we have grown. We
must keep our feet on the ground,
and I believe we will.
"Without selecting our stu­dents,"
he explained, "we have
turned out graduates in the past
few years who topped those of
other veterinary schools on the
examinations issued by the Bu­reau
of Animal Industry. That
should make all of us strive to
maintain the record which will ul­timately
make this the leading
veterinary school in the United
States."

IN THE SATURDAY EVENING POST AND GOOD HOUSEKEEPING
In discussing his selected topic
the speaker stressed the import­ance
of the religious, physical,
and social phases of college life
as requisites for a well-rounded
preparation for the education that
will begin with the reception of
a college diploma. He urged that
each student learn by association
to respect the rights and privi­leges
of his fellow men.
When the local school of Vet­erinary
Medicine was founded in
1906, "Uncle Bill," as Dr. Howell
is called by many of his students,
was the first person to fill out
a matriculation card. He was also
the first president of the local
AVMA.
Among the visitors welcomed to
the meeting by President Tyler
Young were Ralph Draughon, ex­ecutive
secretary, and Prof. John
W. Roe.
Tomorrow night George L.
Weaver, a senior, and W. V. Pet­ty,
a junior, will present talks on
subjects of interest to veterinary
students.

ENTERTAINING ROYALTY
WHEN Great Britain's King and Queen
visited the New York World's Fair
on their international social call, 20 farmers
were able to watch the royal pair as closely
as if they were entertaining Their Majesties
out on the farm. And the rural folk were 130
miles away from the Fair grounds.
This long-distance watching was made pos­sible
by G-E television engineers. Directed
by C. A. Priest, Maine '25 and ex-Test man,
radio engineer for General Electric, they
were simply proving that television programs
could sometimes be received at a far greater
distance than the previously supposed limit
of 40 to 50 miles.
For, instantly and clearly, while the King
and Queen inspected the Fair, television
reproduced complete details of their visit
to the group—130 miles away, atop the
Helderberg Hills near Schenectady. Not
far from the scene of this experiment is
General Electric's powerful new television
station, W2XB, soon to go on the air.
TRAVELING HOTEL
NEXT Spring, when a hotel-on-wheels
rolls into Bombay, India, some of
the citizenry may have grave doubts about
their sanity. Or they may blame the blazing
tropical sun. In either case, they'll be wrong.
Lawrence Thaw's trans-Asiatic motorcade
will be merely completing a 14,000-mile
safari from Paris.
Quite obviously, such things as 14,000-mile
trips require quite a bit more than savoir-faire
and an adventuresome spirit. Prep­aration,
and plenty of it, was required by
Mr. Thaw. This brought into the picture—
both directly and indirectly—-a number of
G-E engineers.
•*&&?*
The four mobile units of the motorcade
boast of the latest G-E two-way radio, for
maintaining contact between the various
vehicles throughout the journey. During
tests two of the units maintained contact
when as far as 200 miles apart. Air condi­tioned
throughout, the de luxe trailer con­tains
all the appliances and equipment
normally found in a modern home—from
tiled bath and indirect lighting to an array
of electric appliances.

Four Daughters
Return To Tiger
In New Picture
"Daughters Courageous"
Scheduled to be Shown
Wednesday and Thursday
This year's successor to last
year's memorable "Four Daugh­ters"
is another picture of the joys
and sorrows of an amusing and
lovable family. Entitled "Daugh­ters
Courageous" it is scheduled
to be shown Wednesday and
Thursday at the Tiger Theatre.
It is in no sense a sequel
to "Four Daughters", since it con­cerns
another family played by
the same star but in a different
setting. However, .the new picture
has many facets of resemblance.
The most striking, and what
will probably be the most satis­fying,
is the fact that every mem­ber
of the cast of "Four Daugh­ters"
has a part of equal import­ance
and of a similar significance
in the new production. To assure
recapture of the charm which so
distinguished last year's picture,
the studio assigned the same di­rector,
Michael Curtiz, to "Daugh­ters
Courageous" and even had
the screen play written by a team
of scenarists of which one mem­ber
was also a co-author of last
year's "Four Daughters."
Priscilla, Rosemary and Lola
Lane and Gale Page are again a
quartette of lively and affection­ate
sisters in the new film, and
they again have Claude Rains as
their father. They also have the
same suitors, John Garfield and
Jeffrey Lynn vying for the hand
of Priscilla, McHugh courting Lo­la,
and Dick Foran — this is a
slight difference — trying to di­vide
his affections between Rose­mary
and Gale.
Even lovable May Robson is
again in the cast, though she is
not a member of the family this
time, being an old servant who
has been with them for many
years, so many, in fact, that she
feels she has the right to a loud
voice in the family's affairs.

burn men fared a little better due
to their brilliant color.
The cheering sections added
greatly to the game. The Tulane
boys and girls got off some nice
yells and put on a nice card dis­play
during the half. They formed
an orange "A" on a blue back­ground,
and a blue "U.T." on a
green background. The Tulane
cheerleaders were niftily attired,
the boys wearing green silk suits
with white T's on their backs and
the girls wearing white with green
T's. The Auburn cheerleaders
were decked out in their new
orange uniforms issued them last
week.
The Tulane band put on a nice
show at the half. They marched
the length of the field and re­turned
to face the Auburn stands.
Here they formed an "A" and
from this formation played the
Auburn Alma Mater. Upon com­pletion
they faced the Tulane
stands, formed a "T" and march­ed
across the field. Here they
played the Tulane Alma Mater
with the cheering sections sing­ing.
After this the band left the
field and the two teams returned
to resume their battle.
The spirits of both sides were
