Bosses Ousted as Staff
Discovers Betrayal to
Glomerata Graft Wave
By A REBEL
Amidst the wild cries of irate
members of the Plainsman staff,
Editor John Godbold, Business
Manager Bob Armstrong, and
Columnist John Ivey were ridden
out of town by rail last Tuesday
night in a rebellion by the better
members of the sheet.
After enduring untold tortures
from the managers of this sheet
during the past few weeks the
staff members met in a body to
determine what should be done to
rectify their wrongs and injus­tices,
heaped upon them by these
slave-drivers. Finally a decision
was reached after much heated
discussion and deliberation. There
could be no doubt about it. They;
Godbold, Armstrong, and Ivey,
must definitely go. Where they
were to go was not considered.
No one really cared where they
went anyway.
Rebel members of the editorial
staff rushed down to the ATO
house where Godbold and Ivey
were formulating some tactical
plot against unsuspecting mem­bers
of their staff. The pair were
dragged from Ivey's den to a
rendezvous down by the railroad
tracks. There it was discovered
that lesser members of the busi­ness
staff had kidnapped Arm­strong
and were torturing him
with kicks and the most unheard
of words, not fit to print in this
sheet. Combining forces the two
clans proceded to do away with
the three ink-and-paper demons.
One of the more irate mem­bers
of the staff insisted upon
tarring and feathering the three
deposed members of the Plains­man.
But not wishing anything so
horrible to happen the more con­servative
rebels suggested riding
them out of town by rails. Suit­ing
action to words the gruesome
task was soon underway and out
of the loveliest village by rails
went the three ousted copy-kill­ers.
One of the more sedate rebels
was heard muttering, "Good rid­dance
of bad rubbish."
The last words of Godbold,
erstwhile editor, could not be
clearly distinguished but one rebel
swears he was humming something
like "The Girl I Left Behind Me."
We could not find out who the
girl was, much to the disappoint­ment
of one staff member who
suggested the idea of haunting
her.
Business staff members who
were busy making faces at Arm­strong
said he was mumbling
something about his automobile
he had left behind and might
never see again. Also some­thing
about what would he do
without someone to pick on.
The Great Ivey was hissed and
booed by two of the Cabinet mem­bers
who happened to be along on
the rebel expedition. He was mut­tering
and sobbing broken phrases
about his dean of men and his
browbeaten Cabinet. His last
words were, "Home was never
like this."
And so the loveliest village of
the plains was made a decent
place to inhabit. The satisfied
rebel members of the Plainsman
staff trudged back to the office
of the sheet and began to make
plans for a real newspaper in the
future. No officers were elected
but it was decided that junior
members of the staff should have
the last word in publication of
"all the news that's fit to print."
One member of the staff suggest­ed
the writing of a nice, juicy
gossip column. Further develop­ments
along this line are now un­der
consideration and a decision
will be made in the near future.
As expected a member of the
business staff wanted to run ads
on the front page, "Just to be
different," he explained.
When asked by college officials
for an explanation of the rebell­ion
it was explained that the three
deposed journalists had been un­faithful
to the dear old Plainsman.
It was claimed by staff members
that the three erstwhile paper
heads had sold the Plainsman out
in last Friday's game with the
Glomerata Guys. It was intimated
that they had sold the Panther's
trick touchdown plays to Kelley
and Parker, Incorporated Graft­ers.
Also they had bribed the ref­erees
and spiked the water in the
water bucket. "This," said the
explaining rebels, "was too much.
They had to go. There was no al­ternative."
It was rumored today from an
unofficial source that the ex-journalists
had hitch-hiked to the
Associated Collegiate Press head­quarters
to beg for reinstatement
to their former positions. Latest
report indicates they were near-ing
Des Moines, Iowa.
When asked for a statement
yesterday afternoon concerning
the ousting of the Plainsman
heads, Charles Kelley, editor of
the Glomerata, had only this to
say, "I haven't even missed them.
I wouldn't have known they were
out of town if you hadn't told me."

Student Opinion Poll
To Be Held Wednesday
Executive Cabinet is Conducting Survey
To Determine Sentiment on Cut System
A poll of student opinion on the present cut system of
class attendance will be conducted next Wednesday, Novem­ber
1, by the Student Executive Cabinet, according to John
Watters, chairman of the elections committee who is super­vising
the voting.
At a recent meeting of the Executive Cabinet the pres­ent
system of class attendance was studied and discussed
by members of the Cabinet. At the suggestion of President
John Ivey the Cabinet passed an ~~"—"—~"~~~~""~"~~""~—"^^~^—~"
act stating that a survey of stu­dent
sentiment on the subject be
conducted.
Charles Kilpatrick, senior mem­ber
of the Cabinet has been ap­pointed
to make arrangements for
stating the question on the ballot
and making preparations for the
poll. The question to be answered
will be: "Do you favor the pres­ent
cut system of class attend­ance?".
An answer of "Yes" or
"No" will be all that is necessary
for students to showj'ust how they
feel about this matter.
Ballot boxes will be placed at
the Main Gate and at Student
Center. The voting will not be
held by classes but students may
vote at either place. All students
are urged by the Cabinet to par­ticipate
in the poll. In addition
students are asked not to vote
more than once as this is confus­ing
when checking ballots.
After the results have been
compiled and tabulated they will
be turned over to officials of the
college administration as a peti­tion
for consideration.
Broadcast Arranged
For Opening Dances
A thirty minute program of mu­sic,
played by Russ Morgan during
the opening dances, will be broad-east
on Friday night, November 3,
according to Tom Henley, chair­man
of the Social Committee.
The program will go on the air
at 10:00 p. m. over stations WSFA
in Montgomery and WAPI in Bir­mingham.
It will feature several
musical and vocal numbers.
All dances will be informal.
The grand march has been set for
Saturday night instead of Friday,
because a good number of the out-of-
town girls will not arrive until
Saturday morning.
The technical side of the broad­cast
will be handled by Professor
Woodrow Darling. John Nixon will
be the announcer.

Cabinet would be in charge of Re­ligious
Emphasis Week and that
the Cabinet would be in charge of
contacting all students regarding
this.
A lengthy discussion followed
concerning the progress made in
the drive to make all freshmen
wear their rat caps. Kilpatrick
stated that 681 rat caps were sold
and that 150 more would be order­ed.
Also a discussion was held on
the disturbances caused by some
students after pep rallies.
John Ivey stated that in the fu­ture
if any individual was found
causing undue disturbance, during
or after pep rallies that individual
would be brought before the Exe­cutive
Cabinet before appearing be­fore
the college administration. A
discussion followed.
Herbert Martin made a motion
that the Executive Cabinet furnish
the necessary uniforms for two
girl cheerleaders, if no other funds
were available. The motion passed.
Sam Pettus reported on the
progress made on the Alpha Phi
Omega's drive for more tennis

Two Students Are
Chosen For Scott
Loan Fund Board
Winfrey Boyd and Paul
Ellis are Elected at
Convocation Wednesday
At a convocation of all Science
and Literature students Wednes­day,
Winfrey Boyd and Paul Ellis
were elected senior and jujhior
members respectively to the John
W. Scott Educational Fund board
of directors.
The two student members were
elected by popular vote of all
science and literature students
present at the convocation. Two
names were submitted by the
nominating committee and fur­ther
nominations were made from
the floor. Each year a junior will
be elected to the board and will
be reelected his senior year upon
the recommendation of the board.
After the business meeting, Mr.
James R. Adams, of the Liberty
National Life Insurance Co. of
Birmingham spoke on the eco­nomic
effects of the present war.
Mr. Adams told of the effect the
war has had on the American in­dustrial
scheme and the effect it
is likely to have. He thinks the
problem of business today is to
avoid a repetition of the disastrous
events of the last twenty-five
years.
Speaking of the tobacco in­dustry,
he said foreign nations
are already affecting America
with their economic preparations
for war.
"In spite of popular opinion,"
said Mr. Adams, "America is not
suffering from a shortage in sug­ar,
hogs, or wheat."
According to the speaker, this
lack of scarcity, with prepared­ness
and increasing self-sufficien­cy,
has lessened the commercial
shock of the war. In Mr. Adams'
opinion, foreign trade is not like­ly
to boom, regardless of the ac­tions
taken on the Neutrality Bill.
The main question, he said, is
whether democracy and civiliza­tion
will survive this war.
Closing his address with the
plea that we stay out of war, Mr.
Adams said, "Business does not
want war, and is, at this moment,
doing all it possibly can to keep
America economically free and
strong."

KNITZER OPENS AUBURN CONCERT
SERIES WITH BRILLIANT PERFORMANCE
Today
Paper Heads Ousted 1
On to Atlanta 1
Opinion Poll 2
Auburn Honor 2
Auburn Plays Tech 3
Eleven Hundred Pack
Hall to Hear Virtuoso
Joseph Knitzer opened the con­cert
season in Auburn Tuesday
night with a brilliant performance
before an audience which pack­ed
the auditorium at Bibb Graves
Center to overflowing.
Knitzer showed an understand­ing
of music worthy of the great­est
of violinists, and his fine tone
even surpassed the enthusiastic
reports which had been received
prior to the concert.
Accompanied by Mary Strick-ler,
his wife, who gave an excel­lent
performance, Knitzer opened
his program with "Allegro," by
Fiocco, followed this with "Intra-da,"
by Deplanes, and finished the
first part of the program with
Vitali's "Chaconne."
High spot in the concert was
the second part of the recital in
which he played Wieniawski's
Concerto, No. 2, in D Minor. This
was followed by Schubert's "Ava
Maria," played as an encore.
Exhibiting the brilliant tech­nique
which has gained for him
the name of one of America's
leading violinists, Knitzer played,
after a brief intermission, "An-daluza,"
by Joaquin Nin, "Sea
Murmurs, by Castelnuevo-Tedes-co,
the "Danse Negre," of Scott-
A. W. Kramer, "Beau Soir," by
Debussey-A. W. Kramer, and
"Presto," from "Hungarian Rural
Scenes," by Dohnanyi. Enthusias­tic
applause from the audience
brought the youthful artist back
for another encore, and this time
he played, Granados' "Spanish
Serenade."
The final part of the program
included "Nocturne," by Chopin,
and "Aus der Heimat" by Sme-tana.
More applause called for
one more, and then another en­core.
Knitzer obliged with Fritz
Kreisler's "Schon Rosmarin," and
"The Flight of the Bumblebee,"
by Rimsky-Korsakow.
Leaving Auburn early Wednes­day
morning, Mr. and Mrs. Knit­zer
traveled to Greenfield, Mass­achusetts,
for another concert.
From there they will go to Con­cord,
New Hampshire, and then
to Canada.
ing in a yell session in the down­town
district of Atlanta. The pa­rade
will form immediately on the
arrival of the special train, at
11:20, at the station.
Students showed their enthusi­asm
last night in the most color­ful
pep rally of the year. Fresh­men,
bedecked in pajamas, night
shirts, and "flannel drawers" of
every hue and description paraded
and cavorted on Drake Field. Bat­tle
cries, led by the cheerleaders,
echoed from one end of the camp­us
to the other. Searchlights il­luminated
the activities on Drake
Field, which included short talks
by President L. N. Duncan, Ralph
Draughon, Head Coach Jack Mea­gher,
ex-cheerleader Bill Ham,
and Coaches Ralph Jordan, Dell
Morgan, Jimmy Hitchcock, and
Porter Grant. The program was
interspersed with music by the
band, and closed with a huge
snake-dance, participated in by ex­cited,
pajama-clad freshmen and
a few upperclassmen who momen­tarily
laid aside their dignity in
a fine display of that "Old Auburn
Spirit."
Gigantic streamers greeted stu­dents,
professors, and passers-by
in prominent places on the camp­us
yesterday morning, bearing
such statements as "Wreck Tech,"
"Give 'em Hell, Auburn," "Avenge
that 7-6 Defeat," and the time-honored
"War Eagle," in blazing
orange and blue letters.
Interest in the Tech game has
risen rapidly this year, partly be­cause
of last year's defeat by the
Engineers, and with Tech favored
to win, the Tigers should be
blood-thirsty. Auburn has been
playing the Atlanta school since
1892, and in 41 games has made
a record of 23 wins, 15 losses,
and three ties.
The great Auburn Band will be
on hand for the game, which is
scheduled to begin at 2:00 o'clock
at Grant Field, and also for the
pre-game parade. Auburn's ace
cheerleaders, headed by Chick
Hatcher, and including Doris
Greene, Margaret McCain, Joe
Gandy, Davis Gammage, and
Frank Wiggins, will lead the
yells for the supporters of the
Orange and Blue.
Winfrey Boyd, senior enrolled
in the School of Science and Lit­erature,
elected Wednesday to
serve on the board of directors of
the John W. Scott Educational
Fund.

Well?

IT ISN'T MUCH FUN substituting for
some one; especially for some one
who has done as fine a job aa John Ivey
has done with WELL?. While I'm at it,
may I say a word or two of praise for
the work Editor John Godbold has done
on the Plainsman this year? At the
risk of saying the conventional, may I
thank him on the behalf of the stu­dent
body for a "bigger and better"
Plainsman.
* * *
Once again as the nations of Europe
are engaged in a desperate struggle
for Democracy and against Dictator­ship
we hear cries of "Keep America
Neutral". We college students of to­day
form a large part of the draft-age
citizens of America; we as a whole are
determined that America is not going to
war to fight anyone's battles for them.
In a recent poll of student opinion
about the matter it was found that:
1. Students are opposed to changing
the neutrality law, mainly because 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 six out of
every ten—say they would not volun­teer
if England and France were losing
and this country went to their aid."
The same poll showed that 42 per
cent of American students were in favor
of Roosevelt's "cash and carry" plan,
while 58 per cent were against it. This
shows that students do not agree with
national public opinion, which is in fav­or
of the plan as long as France and
England are included in the deal.

We hope you like it.
Student Opinion Poll
NEXT TUESDAY the students of
this campus will have an op­portunity
to express their approv­al
or disapproval of the cut sys­tem
of attendance that is now in
effect at this institution. The Stu­dent
Executive Cabinet is con­ducting
a poll to gather student
opinion on the matter.
We believe that every student
of this institution should care­fully
weigh his or her decision
before voting on the matter in
question. Consider the attendance
system in an unbiased manner.
Do not forget that going to col­lege
is or should be a serious
proposition and that class attend­ance
is essential to a thorough
education.
We know that you and even
ourselves have often desired to
cut a class for some reason or
other which did not sound logical
to the college officials. Perhaps
you wished to go home for the
week-end and had a Saturday
class which interfered with your
desires. Perhaps, as one of the
students wrote us this week, you
wished to attend the funeral of
some close friend, but your dean
would not consent to excuse you
for the occasion.
We believe that the opinion
poll will show that students are
decidedly opposed to the pres­ent
cut system. And if this comes
to pass what will the college ad­ministration
do about the matter?
Possibly they will do nothing, but
they can hardly ignore the pro­tests
of the majority of the stu­dent
body. The administration
works or should work for the
best advantage of the students.
If you are opposed to the present
system of class attendance we be­lieve
the college officials will sit
up and take notice.
For the benefit of students
who do not know the rules of the
present class attendance system,
we are printing the regulations
as prescribed in the college cata­logue.
For each unexcused absence
the instructor will deduct two
points from the student's final
semester grade. A student shall
be automatically dropped from
any class when his unexcused ab­sences
equal twice the number of
scheduled class and laboratory
periods for each week. A student
who has been dropped for ab­sences
from more than 40 per
cent of the work for which he
was registered shall be automat­ically
suspended from college for
the remainder of the semester.
We ask all students to consider
the opinion poll seriously and
carefully. The Student Executive
Cabinet is working for the best
interests of the students and asks
your cooperation in this matter.
Let's go down to Student Center
next Tuesday and cast a vote on
the student opinion poll. D.H.
The Honor Of An
Auburn Man
WE SAID something last Tues­day
about rowdyism and dis­orderly
conduct. We spoke in the
main concerning the events which
occurred at the Ag Fair last week
and which were definitely on the
distasteful side. Perhaps we
should do some more fumigating
along that line.
It's not just the material side
of the ham-stealing episode that
is so important although ham is
very delicious eating and the
price of that commodity at the
present is rather high. It is a mat­ter
of principle involved. The
honor of an Auburn man is some­thing
to be treasured and not be
trod upon and disgraced in the
manner of petty larceny.
The conduct of certain fresh­man
football players in stealing
articles, wrecking an exhibit and
casting insulting remarks toward
a lady is a disgrace to the honor
and ideals of an Auburn man.
Personally we would not call
these same football players men.
They may be men from a physical
standpoint but from the moral
and ethical side they are among
the lowest type of humanity.
There is no place in this college
for such "conduct. There is no
place here for such disgraceful
students. D.H.
Rat Caps At Homecoming
AMONG THE more constructive
acts and resolutions of the Stu­dent
Executive Cabinet comes
one of the latest, a plan to have
all freshmen sit in one section
wearing their rat caps at the
Homecoming Game with Florida
and the dedication of our new
stadium and field house.
The Cabinet has made arrange­ments
with the athletic depart­ment
to handle admittance to the
game and seating of the fresh­men.
The freshman cheering sec­tion
will probably be situated
near the band. This seating ar­rangement
for freshmen is a
novel venture for Auburn and
should certainly add much color
to the first Homecoming Game in
several years.
The Cabinet has announced
that additional rat caps will be
on sale in order that freshmen
will have no excuse for not wear­ing
their caps to the game. So
here's to the dedication of our
new stadium and the most color­ful
Homecoming Game.
Lay Off You Mugs!
WE ASKED FOR IT, really we
did, but let's call it quits. We
practically got down on our
prominent knees and begged you
to write us a letter, but we didn't
expect to get a bull by the horns
or a tiger by the tail or whatever
it is that one grabs and can't let
go of.
Get this you rising young wits:
We don't identify strange bugs.
We do not know what farm
implement company sells gaso­line
powered golden harvesters.
We are not familiar with the
location of Tadpole Terrace, Ala­bama.
We do not know what salary
Dr. Duncan gets.
We're not going to ask him.
We are not going to print any
letters bearing the salutation
"You Cute Old Editor You."
We are going to do one thing.
If we ever find out who is pulling
our leg, we're going to run his
picture on the front page. Yes sir,
a lovely photo of his head, at­tached
to the body of a jackass.
For a long time there have been a
great many complaints about the pres­ent
cut system of class attendance. Next
Tuesday students will be given the op­portunity
of expressing their general
opinion of the matter by vote. If the
students of Auburn, show that they,
as a body, are opposed to the present
cut system, something may be done
about it. Possibly something may be
done about it. The college administra­tion
is under no obligation to us. But
if they see the trend of student opin­ion
is against the cut system as it
stands today, those in charge may de­cide
that something should be done.

JOHN GODBOLD AND Bob Armstrong,
Editor-in-chief and Business Manager
of the Plainsman, respectively, are at
present attending the annual ACP con­vention,
in Des Moines. Were they here,
this space would probably have been
devoted to the life story of some other
big shots, but they aren't here, so we
can write about the two modest gentle­men
without fear of the red pencil. We
present our Editor and Business Man­ager:
* * *
John Godbold
John "Goof" Godbold makes his home
in Auburn, but he's never to be found
at home. He seems rather to be a per­manent
fixture of the Plainsman office,
along with the typewriters, the tele­phone,
the desks, and the dictionary.
John attended high school in Selma.
Somewhere in Selma he became inter­ested
in newspapers—but he says he'd
never make the newspaper business his
life work. He plans to be a lawyer, if
he can ever make up his mind to leave
Auburn long enough to go to law
school. He's been taking pre-law for
four years. John succeeded his brother,
Ed, as Ye Editor.
The Godbold should make a good
lawyer. His dexterity in the manly art
of "slinging bull" has been proved in
more than one brilliant debate since he
joined the forces of the Auburn de­bate
squad as a freshman.
Should one take time to examine
closely the various keys that hang from
John's heavily laden watch chain, he
would find an ODK key, Scabbard and
Blade, Tau Kappa Alpha key . . . oh
well, you look over his hardware, some­time.
He's a member of Spades, and is
a lieutenant colonel in the ROTC.
"Goof" likes to take long walks, and
several nights a week he hikes from his
home on West Glenn, across town to
Samford Avenue, down past the high
school. Ahem!
In the recent selection of "Who's
Who" on the campuses of the nation,
John was among the nineteen from Au­burn.
John is a member of Alpha Tau
Omega social fraternity.
P L A I N S M A N
ing their pledges to "get in the run­ning"
and start their campaigns. Fresh­man
elections will be held November
15.
May we remind you of the election
reforms set up last year by the Execu­tive
Cabinet. The reforms were in­augurated
to give the poorest Auburn
Student the same chance as the richest
one to win an office.
Auburn's offices will never again go
to the man who can pay for getting
his name before the voters in the most
unique and persistent manner. No long­er
will campus bulletin boards be cov­ered
with the cards of dozens of of­fice-
seekers. Auburn's campus will no
longer be littered with the free blot­ters
and circulars that anxious politici­ans
give out in wholesale fashion.
Not only the freshman elections, but
all elections this year will be conduct­ed
in a quiet, unoffensive and un-auspicious
manner. The Chairman of
the Elections Committee can suspend
any candidate guilty of unfair prac­tices
and after a Cabinet hearing, the
offender, the nature of his offense,
and his fraternity affiliation will be
published in the Plainsman.
Freshman! The coming election is to
be your election. Look around you —
see who your classmates are — which
ones would make the type of class of­ficers
you want. Which ones are fit to
be campus leaders? And in six cases
out of ten those students who receive
freshman offices are those who become
campus leaders during their junior and
senior years. The results of your elec­tions
will be evidence of popularity, and
in some cases of capability. To be se­lected
by your fellows to hold office
is something of which to be proud.
From the lowest office to the highest,
the honor is there; but also the respon­sibility.
* * *
When we first started working on
this sheet we had no idea of how ink
can get into your blood and paper into
your brain. At first we dropped by the
office once or twice a week to get our
assignment and then to turn in copy of
our stories. Then we began to hang a-round
the office a few minutes when
we dropped by. We began to drop by
oftener in order that we might loaf a
little more.
Funny how those things get started.
Next thing we knew we were hanging
around the office between classes and
after classes. In fact we found our­selves
loafing around the office about
as much as we found ourselves in class­es.
We learned to turn up our nose at
the wisecracks of ye editor and to cast
ironic remarks at the business staff.
We learned to hate the Glomerata as
well as any old hand at the business.
How this ink gets into your blood I
don't know. What it is about newspaper
life that gets under your skin I couldn't
say. The editor cusses us and we cuss
him. And we all love it.
Plainsman Heads
Robert Armstrong
"Sniffy" Armstrong, boss of the
business end of the Plainsman, is from
Birmingham. He's a rather quiet fel­low,
but his serenity hides a temper
that explodes occasionally (no doubt
justly) according to members of his
staff who have been the recipients of
his anger. .
Of small and wiry build, Bob is an
excellent horseman. He plays on the
varsity Polo team. To members of the
cadet corps of the ROTC unit, he is
"Major Armstrong."
Enrolled in Mechanical Engineering,
he is a member of Tau Beta Pi, honor­ary
engineering fraternity. He is also
a member of ODK, Spades, Scabbard
and Blade and SAE social fraternity.
Bob's activities as Business Manager
have been strenuous. Each week he and
his "hard-working" staff members
bring in great masses of advertisements,
leaving little space in the paper for the
journalistic efforts of the editorial
staff. He's the fellow who makes those
six-, eight-, and ten-page editions pos­sible,
by bringing in the dough.
"Sniffy" recently purchased a second
(?) hand "A" Model Ford. This car is
the pride and joy of his existence. He
worships it as he would a fifty-page
newspaper, entirely filled with nothing
but advertisements. The least scratch in
its newly painted surface brings a tear
to his eye. He lovingly pushes it off to
school, each morning.
Intensely interested in bringing to
Auburn a revival of the sport of fenc­ing,
Bob coached beginners in the sport
last year, and this year is captain of
the Fencing Team. He is somewhat of
an expert with the foil.
Short, blonde, and handsome, Arm­strong
is the Romeo of the Plainsman
office. He even runs up the telephone
bills by chatting for hours at the time
to certain fair ladies, over the office
phone.
Someone is sending us a paper ad­dressed
to Alabama Ox Institute. May­be
it's an honest mistake, then again
maybe it ain't.

Dear Sir:
The Auburn students have observed
Religious Emphasis week, which in our
opinion, has been one of the most
worthwhile movements sponsored by
our institution. Our president, faculty,
and pastors have expressed a need for
spiritual development as well as ment­al.
Each of these as well as many of
our students, are interested in this
much needed development. The student
body should be commended on their
hearty cooperation in making this
movement a success.
We feel that the students of Auburn
have made a good start in "Living the
Life Worthwhile." However, we feel
that there is one thing that does not
seem to fit in with this plan of Worth­while
Living. That is having pep meet­ings
on Sunday. We feel that it is good
to show the team we are for them, win
or lose. We think our not having the
band to meet them and a huge crowd
there to greet them would be appreciat­ed
much more by our team for they
would respect the stand we, as students,
were taking in this matter. We believe
our team would think more of us by
such a respect for Sunday.

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.
WITH TIMES as they are, and the
whole world becoming a bit on edge
because of the threat of war, maybe we
should warn Birmingham of the forth­coming
invasion when some 1500 war­like
appearing individuals will pour
from several assorted train cars. The
effect of a surprise might boomerang
in the form of repulsion by the Na­tional
Guard or other troops. Birming­ham
may look invaded when we leave,
but let's assure them that our inten­tions
are peaceable if not honorable.
*
Based on green jersies, every other
week wins, the Martin Forecasting Sys­tem,
touchdowns we should have scor­ed,
Tech due for a let-down and Auburn
due for a comeback, and . . . well, any­way,
the prediction is Auburn 53, Tech 6.
* *
Homecomers from the World's Fair
Excursion report a rather enjoyable
trip. Of course, those train seats may
not have made the best bunks imagin­able,
but all seem pretty well satisfied.
A few who saw the football game men­tioned
regret that Auburn lost.
* * *
And from the* Doll House, through
the courtesy of Dolly Meagher and his
Buzzard Trio, comes the news that
"Talking Blues" has been played more
than any other one piece since the in­stallation
of the dwarfed nickleodeon.
That fact says something or other for
the music (?) lovers of Auburn. The
time will come when some guy and a
guitar will play for the opening dances.
* * * *
Not to bring up an unpleasant sub­ject,
but it is rumored that the Graft
Grabbers have the freshmen hunting
ducks to provide fuel for Kelley's
water-cooled fire hazard.
* * * * *
What the band needs . . . a row of
basses, a row of baritones, a row of
altos, one trombone, two bass drums and
the rest of that row and another row
of snare drums, six rows of trumpets,
three clarinets, one E-flat clarinet ev­ery
three years, two piccolos and six
fifes, one good ride tenor sax, one
sock cymbal, one Chinese gong, two
rows of bell lyres, and ham and eggs
every afternoon at five. Add the whites
of two eggs and a pinch of soda. Sea­son
well and serve hot.
We, the Baptist Student Council, wish
to say that we are definitely opposed
to pep meetings or rallies, of any kind,
on Sunday. We hope that this will
never happen again.
We are sure that our team with the
band would not be a very good way to
glorify Christ. Sunday is His day and
we should respect it.
We trust that you, the pep manager,
and president of the executive cabinet
will cooperate with us in our efforts
to keep Sundays Holy.
Sincerely yours,
The Auburn Baptist
Student Council,
First Baptist Church.
Editor, The Auburn Plainsman
Dear Sir:
Let me add a little to what has al­ready
been said by Ag Club members
in your editorial column.
I gave the Ag Club my services dur­ing
my spare time last week and I have
never worked with any better or more
appreciative gentlemen. I must say they
are men of the highest type. The Ag
Club worked hard and must be praised
for their splendid work in getting up
a program like the one they put on last
week. We must not forget that those
who planned and put on this program
are students and not professional men.
I wonder if the boys who damaged a
certain cottage on Mell street and drank
their liquor there, realized that the per­sons
living there were unwilling wit­nesses
to their disgraceful acts. The
cursing and vile language used by these
Auburn students could be heard from
one end of Mell street to the other. No
wonder Dr. Duncan wanted the new
president's home on the other side of
the campus!
There was quite a difference in the
crowds passing on Mell Street on Sat­urday
and those passing during the
earlier part of the week while Dr. Da­vison
was conducting the Religious Ser­vices
at Graves Center. I am glad our
out-of-town visitors did not have to hear
the cursing on that street Saturday.
Students, why not be more careful
about destroying public property? The
property here on the campus not only
belongs to us here at Auburn but to
every citizen of the state of Alabama.
In the future let's see Auburn students
conduct themselves in such a way as to
deserve the name of "gentjemen" rather
than that of "hoodlum".
Sincerely yours,
Supt. of Campus
The Greensboro (N.C.) Record so­ciety
page ran recently, not the pictures
of brides and brides-to-be, but of bride­grooms
and bridegrooms-to-be. Just an­other
step toward equality between the
sexes.
* * * * * *
From one of the smellingest pun­sters
of Auburn, the guy who made
puns rate the title of the lowest form
of wit, comes the following foo. This
simple stuff is used as a space filler
and is not be construed as the wit of
the columnist. No. 1—Don't kick that
race horse; it may be somebody's mud-der.
No. 2—Don't knock that money
off the table; it may be somebody's
ante. I'll tell you the offender's address
if you'll furnish the tar and feathers.
Auburn is not for such as him.
* * * * * * *
And for Carrie, up here in a safe
place . . .
Carrie, the Campus Changer,
Says the cut rule isn't fair.
She says those two»points hurt her
Whenever she takes the air.
She says she really doesn't miss
What the teacher says in class.
Her roomie's notes take care of this
But those points won't let her pass.
Sometimes she really has to go
But her excuses aren't so hot.
Her dean's all-powerful thundering
"No!"
Includes such an awful lot.
"And so," says Carrie, "if it were true,
That cuts were allowed on grades,
I think I'd study and brown-nose too,
And rate with the brilliant maids."
. . . I think someone should explain to
Carrie
That we're trying to show the school
That not only Carrie, but Tom, Dick,
and Harry,
Are in favor of changing this rule.
* * * * * * * *
To those belatedly informed indivi­duals
who are unprepared for the open­ing
dances, a warning is in order. The
dances are a little over a week away.
If you haven't yet made plans to have
that little hometown gal down to show
us how you rate back home, now is the
time to do it. Time is growing shorter,
paradoxical as that may sound, and you
may have to ask two or three. After
all, any feller can steal a picture of
some gawgious kween, but it takes a
man to deliver the goods.

Tigers to Tackle Tough Tech Team Tomorrow
TIGER TALES
By BOOTS STRATFORD
BooTS SViATPaRD
In the vernacular, it's time for those Auburn Tigers to
either get hot or go home. With a puny 13 points chalked
up so far this season, the Tigers rank just above cellar
dwelling Sewanee in the matter of points
scored by Southeastern Conference teams,
which is just a little too close to the bot­tom
for a team of such potentialities as
Auburn. As things stand now, all the Tigers
have is a punt and a prayer.
The Tech game may well be the turn­ing
point of the season for the Plainsman.
A win tomorrow might throw the team into
high gear and bolster sinking morale and
confidence and provide a springboard which
will give the Tigers the impetus to carry
one to a successful season. . . . But a loss will have just the
opposite effect and may skid the Orange and Blue into a
disastrous season. . . . This is a "must have" game.
* * *
Those orange jersies will do until a real jinx comes a-long.
. . . They wore 'em against Manhattan . . . and Tulane
. . . and in all the '38 season losses. But green will be the
motif against the Jackets — which will give our rapidly
mounting superstition a real work out.
* * *
Far cry from present day pushover ranking was Sewa­nee
in 1889 when the little Tennessee school played five
games in five days without having her goal line crossed.
. . . Ohio State, fifth ranking team in the nation according
to the A.P. poll, has not dropped an opening game in the
last 47 y e a r s . . . . In the history of football, only five games
have drawn an attendance in excess of 100,000. Notre Dame
participated in four of the five, playing Southern Cal in
1929 to draw top crowd of 112,912. All five of these games
were played in Soldier's Field, Chicago.
* # *
Hold onto your form sheets, boys; here we go again!
Auburn to wreck Tech—Did we say that?
Ohio State over Cornell—No matter what Paul B. Wil­liamson
says!
Tulane's Green Wave to smother Ole Miss—-Ditto.
Southern Cal's Trojans over California — The Golden
Bears just haven't got it this year.
Michigan to continue her winning ways at the expense
of Yale's little boy blues—Yale faces a horrid fate at the
hands of Michigan's point-a-minute men.
Notre Dame over Carnegie Tech.
Mississippi State over the Crimson Tide of 'Bama-—We
ARE wacky!
Florida over Maryland in a close one.
Navy over Clemson—With trepidations, but we think
the North is due f o r a win over the South in intersectional
Warfare.

Auburn Seeks Revenge
For Last Year's Loss
Came in Atlanta to Feature Punting;
Star Tech Back May be Out of Lineup
Two of the oldest grid rivals in the nation clash tomorrow
on Grant Field, Atlanta, when Tiger meets Yellow Jacket in
one of the top Conference battles of the day.
Auburn, loser to Tulane and Manhattan, is rated to suffer
another defeat at the hands of Tech, loser to Notre Dame by
only three points and winner over Vandy.
Coach Jack Meagher, disappointed in the showing of vet­eran
players through the Manhattan game, has been running
five crackerjaQk s o p h o m o r e s ^~"— ~ ^ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ " ~~
on his varsity team in work­outs
this week, and may start them
against the Engineers. These men
are Lloyd Cheatham, the boy who
can block like a runaway bus; Ru-fus
Deal, powerhouse fullback and
punter de luxe; end James Sam-ford
who looked plenty good
against Manhattan; end Teedy
Faulk, who is on the ball with his
pass snagging; and tackles Francis
Crimmins and Johnny Chalkley,
hard fighting sophs who have seen
no service yet; Theo Cremer, an­other
star flankman is also given
a chance for starting honors.
A punting duel which had its
genesis in their freshman year is
to be carried on between "Hawke"
Cavette and Dick McGowen, with
McGowen being given the edge in
rating up to date. This battle of
toes may well prove the most im­portant
factor if the game is play­ed
under inclement conditions.
Tech has another fine long dis­tance
booter in Charlie Sanders
and a good coffin corner kicker in
Johnny Bosch, midget marauder of
the Jacket rear works.
Bosch passed Notre Dame dizzy
when the Engineers journeyed up
to South Bend to play the Irish
and will be expected to give the
weak Tiger pass defense an awful
afternoon. Little Johnny also
zips through a broken field in a
manner reminiscent of the days
of "Shorty" Roberts.

Wax Works
To start off this edition of Wax
Works Lionel Hampton and his
small swing combination have
grooved up a couple of tunes on
the swing side. "12th Street Rag"
is given the touch of such by Sonny
Greer and Rex Stewart, but even
with Hampton at the piano it falls
below expectations. However, its
running mate "Ain't Cha Coming
Home" is really a classic featur­ing
men from Goodman's band to
make up a kicking combination.
Bluebird.
* * *
"Does Your Heart Beat For
Me?" is given the attention of
Carl Lorch and his young band.
Shirley Dean does a good job on
the vocal. The sax section in this
band is really well thrown to­gether
for fine tone effects.
"Don't You Put the Bee on Me"
is the vocal command of Shirley
Dean with the musical support of
the Lorch band. For a touch of
the Kemp and Miller styles coupl­ed
with something kinda new, be
sure and hear this Bluebird.
* * *
The master touch of the pop­ular
Glenn Miller and his famous
band comes to the foreground on
"Melancholy Lullaby" and "Last
Night." Ray Eberle lends his
voice to a swell bit of crooning
on both tunes. This record is one
of the best record productions
Miller and his band have turned
out in some time.
