1940-02-27 The Auburn Plainsman

              The Auburn
Maurice Eisenberg is one of the world's most renowned 'cello
virtuosi. He will appear in joint concert with Joseph Battista, youthful
pianist, at Graves Center auditorium tonight at 8:15 as a substitute
for the Roth Quartet and Eugenia Buxton on the Concert Series.
Maurice Eisenberg and Joseph Battista
Appear Here in Joint Concert Tonight
Maurice Eisenberg, world renowned 'cellist, and Joseph
Battista, brilliant young American pianist, will appear to­night
in joint concert at 8:15 in Graves Center auditorium
as the fifth attraction of the 1939-40 Auburn Concert
Series.
The 'cellist and pianist are substituting for Miss Eu­genia
Buxton and the Roth String Quartet, who through
illness of two members of the quartet are unable to fill
their scheduled appearance. Arrangements for the sub­stitution
were made by Kirtley Brown of the College News
Bureau and Lawrence Barnett, Director of the Glee Club.
Maurice Eisenberg is one of the top-flight 'cello virtuosi
of the world but his name was for many years chiefly Eu­ropean.
He studied with some of the most eminent Euro­pean
musicians, including Pablo Casals. Eisenberg held the
headship of the famous Class Casals at the L'Ecole Nor-male
de Musique in Paris for seven years, the only Ameri­can
ever to hold such an official position in France. His
many concerts in Europe have made him a favorite artist,
and his appearances in America seem to be increasing his
popularity.
Joseph Battista, an American of Italian ancestry, began
his career early in his native Philadelphia. He is one of
the most youthful pianists of his time, but has nevertheless
gained wide acclaim from critical audiences wherever he
has appeared in concert. He studied in Philadelphia schools
until he was awarded a fellowship to the Julliard Grad­uate
School of Music in New York. He is as adept at "jazz"
as he is at the classics, having won early recognition
through his playing in music halls and restaurants.
Battista is how hailed by .critics as "an artist the peo­ple
want to hear again", as fine a tribute as can be paid
to such a youthful musician.
Pearson Lectures on Art Friday Night
Ralph M. Pearson will lecture on modern art Friday
evening, March 1, at 8:15 p.m. in Langdon Hall. Mr. Pear­son's
lecture is the final attraction of the current Auburn
Concert Series.
Mr. Frank W. Applebee, head professor of applied
art, who will introduce the speaker, states that Mr. Pear­son
is more successful than any man he knows in explain­ing
modern art to the public.
"His talk here," says Mr. Applebee, "will be chiefly
for the layman who 'knows nothing about art.' The fact
that he will have numerous paintings hanging in Langdon
Hall and will also use lantern slides to illustrate his points
will make his lecture unusually interesting.
"After all," continued Mr. Applebee, "the great con­troversy
over Modernism is practically over. So called
'modern art' is the art of our time, and all informed people
should want some understanding of anything that reveals
the world's present-day thought."
Hindus Returns to Auburn on Saturday
"What Next in Europe?" is the subject of the address
by Maurice Hindus, brilliant lecturer and writer, scheduled
for 8:15 p.m. Saturday evening, March 2, in Langdon Hall.
It will be the third appearance here for Hindus in as many
years.
This concert is an added attraction to the regular Con­cert
Series and is being sponsored by the Concert Commit­tee
and the International Relations Club. Admission to the
concert will be twenty-five cents for college students and
fifty cents for others. Tickets are now on sale for this
attraction at the News Bureau on the first floor of Sam-ford
or tickets may be bought from any member of I.R.C.
Hindus is one of the best informed American citizens
on the great experiment in Soviet Russia and on the prob­lems
and developments of the rest of Europe as well. An
Auburn favorite, he has visited his native Russia ten times
since the Revolution, and he also knew czarist Russia. He
is acquainted with Russian and European leaders in art,
education, and government, and from them he annually
gathers the material for his many American-published
books, magazine articles, and lectures.

Monday afternoon at a meeting
of the Auburn Alumnae Associa­tion,
it was announced today by
Mrs. Emil Wright, president. A-bout
100 members of the local
group attended the meeting.
Mrs. Wright stated that college
authorities have asked the alum­nae
to assist in arrangements for
Dedication Day which is slated
for May 3. Committees on regis­tration,
transportation, decora­tions
and the alumnae tea were
appointed by Mrs. Wright at the
meeting.

Day will be Mrs. Ruth Bryan
Owen Rohde, former United
States Minister to Denmark. She
will talk on "Tomorrow's Wom­en".
All former Auburn women stu­dents
will be invited to attend the
dedication festivities and college
authorities plan to issue about 3,-
000 invitations. Many state offi­cials,

M. Dixon, will also be invited.
Tentative plans for Dedication
Day call for a luncheon for vis­itors
at the women's dining room,
dedication ceremonies, alumnae
tea, speech by Mrs. Rohde, ROTC
review, tour of Auburn and new
buildings, and the May Day Spring
Festival.

Pruitt Will Oppose Jim King for Post;
Deming and Head are Madill's Opponents
Two more hats were thrown into the political ring yes­terday
as Paul Pruitt and Jim Madill announced their can­didacy
for the offices of President of the Executive Cabi­net
and Chairman of the Social Committee, respectively.
Pruitt's entry fills the only unopposed vacancy left on
the ballot. He will oppose Jim King, heretofore the only
candidate in the race.
Madill will run against John Deming and Albert Head
for the Chairmanship of the So- ^~——"~~~~~~~~~~~~—"•*——
cial Committee.
Pruitt, Cedar Bluff, is enrolled
in agricultural education. He was
sophomore representative to the
Executive Cabinet last year, and
was a member of the Constitu­tional
Revision Committee.
Madill is from Tampa, Fla., and
is enrolled in veterinary medi­cine.
This is his first venture in
Auburn campus politics, but had
experience with politics in the
University of Florida.
Jim King, of Rome, Ga., is an
industrial engineer. He is Vice-
President of the Cabinet this year.
He was also sophomore represen­tative
to the Cabinet last year,
and served on the revision com­mittee.
John Deming, Evergreen, is a
pre-med student, and is now
President of the Junior Class.
Albert Head, of Troy, is enroll­ed
in business administration.
Races for these two offices
promise to be two of the most
interesting of the coming elec­tions.

The College Politician—
Do Not Judge Him Unjustly!
Plains Talk
By Herbert Martin
ALMOST everyone considers the
college politician as a strange,
fancily dressed, smiling fellow
with dubious aims in school poli­tics.
He's the one with a hand­shake
and a cheerful "Howdy"
for everyone he meets. He's the
one who pats you on the back
and asks you how things are go­ing
with you.
Those who attach the stigma
of "politician" to him usually do
not know him very intimately,
but somehow, despite the title,
he gets around, probably be­cause
he is such a pleasant fel­low
and pleasant fellows are few
and far between.
His apparent aims? Probably
to get elected to every office he
can, and he usually does unless
he runs up against a too-power­ful
"machine", for he is so easy
going and likeable that he fits in
almost everywhere.
But then he may have his own
aims other than those attributed
to him by the jealous and spite­ful.
Did anyone ever think of
that? Does anyone ever give him
credit for being a visionary who
dreams of the things he might do
for the good of the school and
his fellow students—a visionary
practical enough to at least try
to fulfill his dreams. And then
does anyone ever give him just
credit after he has actually ac­complished
something f o r the
good of the student body and the
school? Not very often.
Then again, he may have aims
which are far from any of those
which are so obvious. He may be­lieve
with the person who said:
"In every man there is something
which I have not, and in that I
am his student." He may be a
person who is simply trying to
better himself for future life and
future situations which he may
have to meet. In "politicking" he
meets many men and women, he
learns how to associate with peo­ple,
he learns how to talk, and
how to conduct himself with
grace and ease on public occas­ions.
Sometimes just ask a college
politician if he would regret, so
very much, losing a race for an
office which he is seeking. Nine
times out of ten the answer will
be "No". And he will also tell
you why—that he has met a lot
of people he didn't know before­hand,
that he has made many
good social contacts, that he has
made a lot of friends.
There must be something, in-defineable,
which makes the vot­ers
choose one man over anoth­er.
And that man would be a bet­ter
teacher than one who had
failed, would he not? Perhaps
he "politicks" to learn to be a
better man. Do not doubt it too
quickly. When judging a man
give him his due, give him a
generous measure, and if he still
falls short and you are sure that
no one is looking, slip in enough
of your own good will to bring
him up to the goal he should
reach. D.W.H. and C.J.B.

Crow Up or Pipe Down I
THROUGH its embarrassing and
humiliating conduct at its
Washington c o n v e n t i o n last
week, the American Youth Con­gress
has largely forfeited what­ever
dignity or respectability it
originally was supposed to have.
The AYC might be more approp­riately
named the American Ju­venile
Congress.
The most striking thing about
the AYC convention was its dis­couraging
lack of manners. To
its friends and foes alike they
showed little courtesy. The First
Lady, foremost defender of the
organization, received very little
more than discourtesy for all her
AYC face-saving.
Members of the Youth Con­gress
showed the intolerable im­pertinence
of interfering with the
functioning of the Congress of
the United States. They defied of­ficials
who eventually were forc­ed
to treat them like the high
school kids they seem to be and
give them the bum's rush.

plain terms what he thought of

the supporters of the AYC have
averred that the organization is
not predominantly communist,
the convention's conduct indi­cates
that it is slightly redder

This convention was disgrace­ful

has won the disapproval of A-merican

Budget Your Time
THE following editorial is from
the Mississippi State College
' paper, The Reflector. Thinking
that it contained some good
sound advice for all of us we
humbly pass it on to you.
* * *
There is always an endless ar­ray
of things to be done by the
college student. What a busy
place is a college. No one but a
student can really understand its
varied and insistent demands.
There is a severe penalty to be
paid by the one who does not
exercise at least one hour each
day — and make high marks in
all of his studies. The question is
how to find time for everything.
A college is more than recita­tions
and recreation. It is a com­munity
with its own varied life
and interests. The richness and
variety of this community life are
made possible because of the stu­dents
who willingly sacrifice time
to make these varied interests a
success.
You no doubt remember this
oft repeated phrase from your
high school days: "Lost, some­time
yesterday between sunrise
and sunset, two golden hours,
each set with sixty diamond min­utes.
No reward offered, for they
are gone forever." And yet, we
are spellbound as to where they
went. When we balance up our
time at the end of the day we
charge them with an easy con­science
to profit and loss. Cer­tainly
our time at college is val­uable
enough to take the trouble
to make out a schedule and to
see that it is rightly used.
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.
YOU can imagine how we feel!
We were interrupted from our not
so arduous labors at a house dance
_ ^ ^ _ _ _ ^ _ _ _ Thursday night by
an urgent call from
Kelley, who reported
that Wednesday had
been t h e deadline
for mailing Glomera-ta
copy, and that
f . three pages had yet
to be c o m p l e t e d.
Would we finish them
for him? „
* * *
We could hear the
sobs he was faking,
and, we figured, if he wants the kind
of stuff we write, let him have it. We
consented.
We were delayed a little after the
dance, and returned home at an hour
rather late, for us. Not being able to
forget Kelley's frantic tone, we sat up
half the rest of the night typing the
copy, and got up early Friday morn­ing
to take the copy down in time to
be mailed on the eight o'clock train.
The Glomerata office was locked. We
had the same experience hourly, and
finally, in desperation, we shoved the
sheets under the door.
* * *
And then, a few brief hours later,
while we were still panting from our
exertions, came the public notice that
we were fired. All copy being in, Kelley
had nothing to lose, but we should at
least be entitled to an honorable dis­charge.
Has the beast no gratitude?
* * *
And to the writer of the letters con­cerning
Esquire, whose name, if our
deductions are correct, faintly reminds
us of the melodies of our feathered
friends, our apologies. We didn't mean
to be subtle. We didn't intend to con­fuse
you. We really thought that even
Glomerata men, especially those form­erly
connected with the Plainsman,
would see through our suggestion, and
maybe some would appreciate it as a
harmless little joke.
* * *
We are naturally limited by space,
and we can't devote half a column to
simplifying and explaining a single sen­tence
which really needed little explain­ing
for most students who happened to
see the cartoon. We credited everyone
with knowing that Auburn in this sense
referred to a prison, and we thought
it wouldn't be necessary to show that
we, too, were in on the secret.
We misjudged one person; we apolo­gize.
We must take our battered cha-peau
off to anyone interested enough
to write three letters, signing one Kel­ley,
one with his true status, and one
with a very applicable pen-name.
* * *
Probably our biggest mistake so far
has gone, in a large sense, unnoticed.
We made the mistake of dubbing the
radio-station-to-be WHISPER. We have
since learned that this station will shout
on par with anything boasted by other
cities in Alabama.

Last week we read that Rudy Wie-doft
is dead at 46. Rudy, alto sax styl­ist
for years, who played an important
part in bringing the sax into the favor
it now enjoys, was widely known as an
artist, composer, and teacher. His work,
Saxophobia, is still popular with sapo-phonists.
His most famous pupil, Rudy
Vallee, admired Wiedoft so much that
he chose Rudy's name for his own.
* * *
Please, humorous ones, don't tell us
any more about the pig saying, "Slop!
It's Wonderful." We try to be patient
and tolerant, but, inspite of the fact
that our jokes (?) are quite as point­less,
we are getting so we feel like
committing mayhem.
P.S. We also do not care for defini­tion
of mirage as "the place the little
man who wasn't there keeps his car."
One glass of milk asking another to
"come curdle in a corner" comes in the
same category.

DID you ever sit down and try to write
something that was readable and

the gruesome task of writing a column.

Across the water — The Turks now
seem to be ready to attack the Reds,
it looks as if there is going to be one
grand mess over there before long. . . .
Old Man Weather continued to help out
the Finns this past week-end with rag­ing
blizzards that bogged down the Rus­sian
war machine and necessitated' the
procrastination of indulgencies in war­fare.
. . . The British had better be a
little more careful about seizing our
mails; they are liable to be between the
devil and the deep blue sea if they are
not a little more careful. . . . The Brit­ish-
Nazi naval warfare still rages with
each side claiming smashing victories
over the other. . . . Just a war of the
newspapers.

Over here — State politicians pre­pare
the preferential primary ballots in
their respective states, continually
pressing F.D.R. for a definite answer
on the third-term issue, and vainly hop­ing
to get an answer. It wouldn't mat­ter
much what the answer was just so
they get something to go on; as it is
they are running around like chickens
with their heads cut off. . . .
Death hovered over the mining town
of Jasper, Ala., last week-end, when
the second-born of the famous Short
quads, Hope, died from pneumonia at
the tender age of forty days. The open­ing
paragraph of the Birmingham Post
story on the death was the simplest
since the death of President Harding,
it simply said, "Hope is dead." That
was all; everyone understood. The par­ents
lost some $35,000 in commercial
contracts which were immediately can­celled,
in addition to the loss of their
beloved child.

•And on our campus — Many of the
campus "big shots" left town this week
for an extended debate tour through
Mississippi and Tennessee. Wish them
lots of luck and bet that we can get
along almost as well without them. At
least we'll try. . . . Not that it makes
an awful lot of difference, but we're
just curious to know what happened to
the Dean of Men Idea. . . .
Some of the seniors want the grad­uation
exercises changed to the sta­dium
instead of the WPA hall. At Dr.
Duncan's suggestion, however, the ser­vices
will probably be held in the am­phitheater
at Graves Center, if the
weather isn't bad, which it usually is
at the most inopportune times at the
"loveliest village of the plains". . . .
And another word of warning to the
student body concerning the thriftiness
of taking cuts might also be timely.
Come on fellows, the President's office
is really serious about this thing. If
we take too many cuts they are going
to make no bones about it; they are
going to drop us from courses, and
from college if we grossly abuse the
new attendance system. . . .
The anti-syphilis drive of Squires,
sophomore honor society, seems to be
a success from all indications. The
number of Wasserman tests is mount­ing
higher and higher—almost 400 —
and not a single positive reaction yet.
And we thought they said that one in
ten had the dreaded disease. Still the
drive is not by any means completed,
there are still more than 3000 students
who have not had a Wasserman. Come
on fellows; let's everybody join in and
make this health drive an overwhelm­ing
success.

From Our Gleanings
Bull Sessions
WE found the following editorial in
our gleanings through a pile of news­papers
from other colleges recently. It
concerns the well-known and much-dis­cussed
"Bull Session", and was clip­ped
from "The Huntress" of Hunting­don
College.
It just goes to show that "Bull Ses­sions"
may sometimes end up with
some useful work accomplished, if the
"Bullers" are practical enough and
have enough energy to put the solution,
which they invariably find in the "ses­sions",
into practice.
* * *
Serious students have traditionally
looked down their noses at bull sessions
as a menace to the peace of campus
life. Personally, we have a certain re­spect
for these gatherings if they are
not hypercritical. Sometimes when peo­ple
get together informally intelligent
discussions follow.
The University of Iowa Daily express­es
a similar opinion, "The bull session
is an American institution. To let it
slide into greater disrepute would be a
shame. Next time the gang gets to­gether
for a talk-fest why not try to
do something constructive, why not try
to reach definite conclusion, why not
think through the problem? The Amer­ican
student has brains: the American
student must learn to use them. From
the bull session could come something
fine and valuable."
The trouble is that when a problem
is thought out no one takes the initia­tive
for putting the solution into prac­tice.
It's much easier to jog along day
after day than to give one big push and
get out of the rut. What, then, is the
use of coming to a decision?
You Should Be Proud
YOU should be proud that you are a
college man or woman. Perhaps you
take the fact that you are a college
student too lightly, too much for grant­ed.
Sometimes sit down and think about
the advantages you obtain from col­lege,
including those things not pertain­ing
to knowledge which is of course the
primary purpose of college. The follow­ing
Associated Collegiate Press item
may help to show you the value of
being a college man or woman.
* * *
"College men and women are pecul­iarly
the sentinels on the outer walls.
There was never more need for clear
thinking and courageous doing by col­lege
men and women than there is to­day.
We of the universities must more
aggressively, more earnestly, more mili-tantly
combat these falacies and here­sies
and expound and 'sell' representa­tive
democracy. It is the bastion of our
liberties; and the foundation of our
faith must not be undermined." Diplo­mat
Joseph E. Davies (Wisconsin '98)
urges collegians to fight the falacies of
today's world.
February 27, 1940 THE AUBURN P L A I N S M AN
After Seeing This —
Tale Of The Gruesome And Ghastly
Expose Of The Glomerata Grafters
Official Rules
Are Discovered
The cartoons above and below
this article show the true facts
behind the recent absorbing of
the Glomerata by the Plainsman.
It was a natural result, and the
Glomerata staff is not to be blam­ed
for human weaknesses. Luck­ily,
the sober pavement-pounders
of this paper were on hand to
take over the burden.
The picture of the graft rest­ing
place was taken last year, and
sterling investigators uncovered
the uncensored photo of the of­fice
at great risk of life and limb.
When the true facts were known,
Kelley pleaded physical disabili­ty
of his staff, and turned the
work over to more able workers.
A clue for placing blame for
the situation is found in last
year's Glomerata office rules,
which are reprinted here.
1. Gentlemen entering this of­fice
will leave the door open, par­ticularly
in winter.
2. Those having no business
should remain as long as possible,
take a chair, and lean against the
wall. This will preserve the wall,
and prevent it from falling in on
us.
3. Gentlemen are required to
smoke. Editor's cigarettes are in
the second drawer; business man­ager
never buys any.
4. Spit on the floor; the
spitoons are only for ornament.
5. Talk loudly or whistle, es­pecially
when we are busy. If this
does not have the desired effect,
whistle.
6. Put your feet on the tables
or sit on the desks. It will be of
great assistance to those working.
7. Deposit empty bottles in the
bottom drawer of the file.
8. Persons having no business
with this office will call often.
9. Do not use our phone to call
the Plainsman office; they are
crossed off our list now."
Needless to say, the last rule
has been crossed off the list it­self,
as any and all calls to the
Plainsman office or members are
recommended. Plainsman writers
discourage this practice, as the
calls interrupt them from their
work of writing Glomerata copy.
Some progress has been made
toward making the graft office
fit for rehabitation by the remov­al
of two truck loads of bottles,
one of jugs, and one of trash ac­cumulated
on the floor.

'Congo Maisie' To
Star Ann Sothern
Tiger Presents Picture
Wednesday and Thursday
Maisie is back on the screen
again—this time in the jungles of
Africa. With Ann Sothern in the
title role, "Congo Maisie" makes
the showgirl as lovable, as amus­ing
and as sure-fire for entertain­ment
as her adventures in the Wild
West. It gives her another dra­matically
adventurous story. She
finds herself in plenty of predica­ments.
She is stranded, subdues a
band of savages, socks her lover,
wins him—and the audience too,
by her acting. Since she won fame
as Maisie in the film of that name,
Miss Sothern has been identified
with the character off-screen as
well as on, for a deluge of fan-mail
has come addressed to "Mai­sie,
Hollywood." Continuing the
second role in the adventures of
the wise-cracking showgirl, the
actress wears her Maisie finery
complete with imitation jewels,
parasol and battered suitcase. Her
teammate in the jungle drama is
John Carroll, soldier of fortune,
who jumps from world-wide ad­ventures
into the role of Holly­wood
leading man. As the rene­gade
Dr. Michael Shane in the
picture, Carroll re-enacts some of
his real-life adventures in Africa.
Hard-hitting, mocking and con­temptuous
of Maisie and the work
which is to be done in the jungle,
Carroll plays his most important
role to date, and the first under

Four Seniors to
Play Last Games
Four seniors will close out their
basketball careers for Auburn
this week-end when they play in
t h e Southeastern Conference
tournament in Knoxville. All four
seniors, J. P. Streetman and Bob
Dickinson, forwards, and Ray Gib­son
and John Huff, guards are
slated to start the first game of
the tournament for the Tigers.
Shag Hawkins, sophomore center,
will start at the pivot post.
Following the Tigers' one-point
victory over Georgia Tech and a
fine showing against Florida last
week in the final two games of
the regular season, Coach Ralph
Jordan decided to enter the
Plainsmen in the annual SEC bas­ketball
tournament at Knoxville.
All teams of the conference ex­cept
Sewanee are expected to en­ter
the tourney.
The Plainsmen go to Knoxville
as the second highest scoring
quintet in the conference, with
Shag Hawkins, Frank Manci and
J. P. Streetman leading the scor­ing
brigade.
Co-favorites for the champion­ship
in the tournament are Geor­gia
and Alabarna. Tennessee and
LSU share honors for the next
slot. Kentucky, defending champ­ions,
is the big question mark of
the tournament. Auburn is con­sidered
a "dark horse" contender
for the setto at Knoxville.

In Winning Game, 59-38
Hitting their stride in the sec­ond
half after being on the lower
end of a 21-20 count at halftime,
the Auburn frosh closed their
1940 basketball campaign with a
59-38 triumph over the Chewacla
Eagles, one of their early season
conquerors.
The win gave the Cubs a record
of nine triumphs against five
losses since Coach Dell Morgan
departed as their mentor to join
the coaching staff at Rice.
Setting the pace for the plebes
in their victory over the Eagles
was a loe»l youngster, Jack
Bright, who blistered the netting
for 34 points. Another mainstay
for Auburn was Center Bob El­lis,
who chalked up 10 tallies and
turned in a nice game getting the
ball off the ball off the back­boards.
Every member of the
frosh squad saw service in the
final game of the year with the
