McBRYDE, API Architects Pick
GRADUATE, WILL Three New Scarab
ADDRESS MEETING Members Monday
National President
Of ASME to Appear
Next Tuesday Night
Warren H. McBryde, 1897
graduate of Auburn and now
president of the American Society
of Mechanical Engineers, will
speak at the final Engineering
Seminar of the year next Tuesday
night on "What Is Engineering"
Since receiving his bachelor of
science degree from API the
ASME head has pursued a varied
career which has made him one
of America's foremost engineers.
He has held positions as drafts­man,
electrician in the US Navy,
construction engineer for E. I.
du Pont de Nemours and the Her­cules
Powder Company, and secre­tary
of the California and Hawai­ian
Sugar Refining Company.
During his term of service with
the Hercules Powder Company
from 1912 to 1919, Mr. McBryde
was in charge of all maintenance
and repairs on the company's
plants and handled many import­ant
engineering problems in con­nection
with the hurried construc­tion
of 12 large TNT plants, the
necessary nitric and sulphuric
acid factories, and many other in­dustrial
buildings during the
World War.
At present the ASME official's
time is taken up by his business
as a consulting engineer and by
the affairs of ASME, in which he
takes a great deal of interest.
Reason given for the early date
of this year's final seminar meet­ing
was that Mr. McBryde was
now on a tour visiting all the
branches of ASME and his sched­ule
would not permit him to come
here at any other time.

Forestry Major
To Be Added To
Ag Curriculum
Change Is to Meet
Need for Greater
Forestry Knowledge
The horticultural department of
API hopes to overcome a weak­ness
in the present agricultural
course by adding a forestry major
to the regular agricultural cur­riculum
next year, according to
Prof. L. M. Ware, head of the
horticulture department.
Professor Ware stressed the
fact that this is not a course to
train professional foresters, but is
to be offered to give agricultural
graduates a knowledge of the
fundamentals of forestry as ap­plied
to county agents work, soil
conservation programs, farm se­curity
programs, and forestry pro­tection
programs throughout the
state.
Professor Ware said that the
importance of promoting better
forestry practices by agricultural
workers throughout the state is
very obvious to agriculturists and
foresters.
Heretofore, students who have
received degrees in agriculture
have had very little, if any, know­ledge
of forestry. On the other
hand, specialized students in for­estry
have such a slight know­ledge
of agriculture that they are
unable to use their knowledge of
forestry to the best advantage in
agriculture. Due to this situation,
said Professor Ware, we are truly
in need of this forestry major in
agriculture.
Words On Music—By Jimmy Gilbert
"That man" who sang with the
Knights last Saturday night, if
you don't know, was Taylor
Hardy, ex-batoneer of the Knights
and at present stick waver for the
University of Alabama Cavaliers
—a • fine band in its own right.
Taylor can* be classed as a pro­fessional
baton swinger in his own
small way; he plays no instru­ment,
but just waves and sings.
» * *
NBC is building up its hilari­ous
"Chamber Music Society of
Lower Basin Street" program
here of late. It's really quite a
clever little production; the music
(by ex-Dixieland jazz bander
Henry Levine's Musicologists and
Paul Lavel's Woosy Woodwinds)
. being strictly on the jive side,
with announcements in the vein
of a Toscanini concert.
Naturally it has guest artists,
two "to be" guests being Chaun-cey
Morehouse of the tuned tom­toms
(first aired over Columbia's
"Saturday Night Swing Session")

Jimmy Dorsey. Hear it every
Sunday at 3:30 on the blue net­work.
Especially recommended.

Our first love in the record
department this week is a Glenn
Miller rendition of "Memories in
the Moonlight". To say that it is
smooth is putting it too mildly.
The saxes are as mellow as only
a Miller reed section can be, and
when that Eberle lad gets on that
second chorus vocal, it's really
something to hear. The other side
features another sweet one in
"Cierra Sue". The record is a
Bluebird.
Deccadisc this week is known
around about, but nevertheless is
worth more than passing men­tion.
It's Jim Dorsey's "Chero­kee",
backed by an in-the-groove
job entitled "A Man and His
Drums". The former has a tom­tom
lead off that is really fine.
Teagarden, known as a pretty
consistent follower of the blues,
gets away from his style a little
to bring out an old timer, "Can't
We Talk It Over". Good trombone
trio on the opening chorus, but a
poor vocal makes it only a fair
record. The other side is a typical,
titled simply "The Blues".
Others in the canned depart­ment:
Vocalion waxes Al Dona­hue
in "Pinch Me" and "Tempta­tion"
— both good swing tunes.
Lastly, Kay Kyser plays "I Want
My Mama", and "Angel", both
from Earl Carrol's Vanities. (Co­lumbia.)

ANN SHERIDAN
SHOWS AT MARTIN
Ann Sheridan wlil prove to
everyone (students of Harvard
not excepted) that dramatic abili­ty
plus "oomph" makes a delight­ful
combination, when Warner
Bros." new film "It All Came
True", in which she stars, plays
at the Martin Sunday and Mon­day.
Adapted from a recent novel by
Louis "Rains Came" Bromfield,
"It All Came True" tells the
charming story of a group of
quaint characters in a New York
boarding house whose complacent
lives are thrown into an uproar
when a gangster decides to use
their house as a hideout. Featured
in the film are such fine perform­ers
as Humphrey Bogart in the
role of a benevolent gangster,
Jeffrey Lynn as young man who
tries to better himself by leaving
home. The supporting cast is made
up of such excellent players as
Zasu Pitts, Una O'Connon, Jesse
Busley and John Litel. The fasci­nating
story of modern life with
an old-time quality could only be
told so believingly by Louis Brom­field.

CHEWACLA PARK
WILL OPERATE
UNDER NEW PLAN
Small Admission Fee
To Be Charged for
Use of Facilities
An admission fee for entrance
to the park instead of the old sys­tem
of charges for parking and
picnicking will be in effect at
Chewacla Park this summer, ac­cording
to park officials. The
charge will be 10 cents for adults
and five cents for children from
6-12 years of age.
The admission charge entitles
the visitor to use of the park fa­cilities,
including parking, picnic
grounds, ovens, barbecue pits,
shelters, hiking, fishing either
from the bank or the person's own
boat, bridle paths and play­grounds,
and bathing (except
.rentals of towels, lockers, and
suits).
Season Tickets
Season tickets for admittance
are on sale for $1 for adults and
50 cents for children.
Park officials pointed out that
the purpose of the fee is not
revenue but to help defray part
of the expense of operating and
maintaining the recreation center.
Included in the many facilities
of the park are swimming accom­modations
for approximately 800
persons in Chewacla Lake, and
picnic grounds, complete with
shelters and fireplaces. There
are playing fields for Softball and
volleyball, as well as horseshoe
pitching.
Five Cabins Available
Five stone cabins are available
for use by the public, and one
more is under construction. All
are completely furnished, the oc­cupant
needing to bring only ice.
Cabin reservations should be book­ed
thre,e or four weeks in advance,
giving the number of persons in
the party, the date and hour oc­cupancy
is to begin, the length
of stay, and similar details. The
reservation is not complete until
a deposit is made.
Three of the cabins accommo­date
four persons and the other
two accommodate six. The small
cabins rent for $3 per night on
Friday, Saturday, and Sunday,
and $2 per night on other nights,
or $15 per week. The larger ones
cost $4 and $3, or $20 per week.
Persons occupying the cabins in
the park are not required to pay
the admittance fee, but must al­ways
be prepared to present cabin
receipt to the gatekeeper on en­tering
the park.
Staffing the park are a number
of life guards and a complete ret­inue
of rangers whose duty it is

MAULSHAGEN HAS
UNUSUAL RECORD
OF SCHOLARSHIP
If scholarship is an indication
of future success—and the Au­burn
faculty maintains that it is
—there are many fine things in
store for Henry C. Maulshagen,
senior in electrical engineering
from Birmingham.
Last May, Maulshagen received
his bachelor of science degree
here in chemistry with a four-year
average of 94.47 per cent.
This was the highest average for
an entire course made by any of
the 633 Auburn graduates in
1939.
But one degree was not enough.
Last fall he enrolled again at Au­burn
as an undergraduate and
will receive his bachelor of science
degree in electrical engineering on
May 27. And he is still doing well
in the matter of grades. His aver­age
of 98.04 for the first semes­ter
is the highest of the entire
Auburn student body.

BENSON'S

"First in Heating, Plumbing, and Refrigeration"
Novel College Scheme
Closes with Conventions
If college students wrote our
political platforms and elected our
presidents, would the quality be
improved?
That question will be answered
by delegates to three national stu­dent
political conventions—Demo­cratic,
Republican and Independ­ent-
Liberal—to be he held on the
Westminster College campus at
Fulton, Mo., May 2, 3 and 4.
Students with a political bent
will rant and rave, orate and lob­by,
debate and wrangle for their
favorite candidates, before mak­ing
out the 1940 slates for each
of the parties. More than 500
delegates from colleges and uni­versities
throughout the country
are expected to have a say in se­lecting
the "students' choices" for
presidential and vice-presidential
candidates.
Postmaster-General James A.
Farley will, no doubt, give some
useful political advice when he
makes his appearance on the
Westminster campus April 2 for
a national broadcast to college
students. Other big-time political
figures, such as Paul V. McNutt,
federal security administrator;
John D. M. Hamilton, chairman
of the Republican National Com­mittee;
Senator Styles Bridges of
New Hampshire; and Governor
Lloyd C Stark of Missouri; have
already spoken from the West­minster
campus. Mayor Fiorello
LaGuardia of New York City and
Senator Robert A. Taft are sched­uled
for later talks.
The keynote; "Practical poli­tics
with no holds barred" will
govern the conventions. And,
though the more serious aspects
of a political convention such as
electing permanent officers and
debating platform issues will hold
important spots on the conven­tion's
calendar, all the ballyhoo
and. hoopla of major party con­ventions
is expected — including
stump speeches, torchlight pa­rades,
placard waving and politi­cal
bargaining.
Gymnasiums and auditoriums in
Fulton will be converted into con­vention
halls with banners, flags,
bands, public address systems,
speakers' platforms, and visitors'
galleries. Keynote speeches by
nationally prominent political fig­ures
are scheduled. A "fusion"
dance is planned for Saturday
night, with a "name" band. High­lights
of the convention will be
broadcast nationally.
Westminster students in the
meantime are spending most of
their spare time — and much of
their class time — making plans
for the convention. They have al­ready
elected temporary officers
to handle preconvention details.
FONDA PLAYS LEAD
IN CRAPES OF
WRATH' AT TIGER
Henry Fonda likes to take it
on the chin, at least on the screen.
For this reason he was more
than anxious to play the part of
Tom Joad, under John Ford's di­rection
in Darryl F. Zanuck's pro­duction
of "The Grapes of
Wrath," John Stenbeck's stirring
best-seller which 20th Century-
Fox will offer at the Tiger Thea­tre
on Sunday and Monday.
"I know how Tom Joad felt
when he was shoved around and
had to take it on the chin con­stantly,"
Fonda said, "I've been
in Tom Joad's shoes myself.
"It was like old times," he ex­plained.
"When I was going to
the University of Minnesota I had
to take whatever odd jobs I could
find. Believe me, I had to take
plenty of abuse."
In addition, those years of toil
taught Fonda how men like Tom
Joad go about their work.
Among other players featured
prominently in "The Grapes of
Wrath" are Jane Darwell as Ma
Joad, Dorris Bowdon as Rosa-sharn,
John Carradine as Casy,
the preacher, Charley Grapwin as
Grampa, Russell Simpson as Pa
Joad, O. Z. Whitehead as Al, John
Qualen as Muley, Eddie Quillan as
Connie and Zeffie Tilbury as
Granma.

A Department of
Journalism for Auburn
BECAUSE practicing journalists
always wield immeasurable
influence in forming public opin­ion,
API needs the aid of jour­nalists
bearing the stamp of Au­burn.
Its graduates could give
bountiful assistance through the
press if very many of them were
active in the newspaper field,
but the fact is that one can al­most
count on his 10 fingers the
outstanding newspapermen that
Auburn has produced.
Standing on the threshold of
being one of the greatest centers
of learning in the South if it
keeps its steps in the right direc­tion,
Auburn needs more than
ever the yeoman service of its
own men in the press world.
Never before has it n e e d ed
broader instruction in journalism
than it does now. Taking all into
consideration, a school of jour­nalism
hardly seems probable or
practical, but a live-wire depart­ment
is a real possibility and in
actuality can do the job just as
well.
At present there are nine jour­nalism
courses in the English de­partment,
one of which is not be­ing
offered this year, or a total
of 13 hours available now. A stu­dent
cannot even major in jour­nalism,
since a major requires 30
hours, but he may include it as
one of his 12-hour minors.
The courses offered now are
neither numerous enough nor
broad enough in their scope to
insure that a student taking all
of them will be a well-trained or
a balanced journalist, and they
are not developing that burning
love for his profession which
must be inherent in the success­ful
writer.
Here and^ now the Plainsman
is one of the best advertisements
that Auburn can have. With a
circulation surpassing that of
the state weeklies and even of
some of the dailies, it reaches
alumni, Auburn's friends, daily
newspapers, and touches resi­dents
of nearly every state in the
nation. It has progressed with
Auburn both in size and in quali­ty,
but of its entire staff a mere
handful ^have had any of the
courses in journalism, and most
of these only a smattering.
A journalism d e p a r t m e n t
would have a perfect working
laboratory in the Plainsman, and
the paper would itself be bene­fited
by the work done by jour­nalism
students. The paper, too,
needs the aid of students trained
in journalism. With their help it
can become a better student
newspaper and a better adver­tisement
for Auburn.
With a live-wire department
giving the instruction and the
Plainsman offering the practical
experience, Auburn could turn
out the journalists that she so
badly needs, benefiting herself
and benefiting Alabama.
Make It Tough!
ALL of this semester there has
been comment time and again
in office bull sessions among staff
members of how one profess­or
who teaches five or six of
them is making his classes work.
Often some boy will walk out of
the office, "Going to the library
to work for Prof. Blank," or
"Can't work any more today.
Have to go home and do some­thing
for Prof. Blank."
The whole thing is a new ex­perience
to some of them, espec­ially
the freshmen. Never before
have they had a professor who
made them work that way, who
saw that education was some­thing
that can be found in li­braries
as well as textbooks, and
that quizzes weren't something
you could sit up and cram for in
one night.
At first they kicked — simply
because it was new to have to
work. One or two of them still
fly off the handle once in a while
because their work has to be in
on time or because something is
returned after it isn't d o ne
well enough. And it's simply hu­man
nature to object to having
to work as they do.
But they respect the profess­or
because he makes them do it
and countenances no exceptions.
They like him because he's mak­ing
them work and making them
like it. And they admire him be­cause
he's teaching them more
than any other professor ever
has before.
Some believe in the c r am
theory of education — cram it
down their throats whether they
like it or not. Others believe that
the pill must be sugar-coated.
But when you find a man who
makes them take it straight and
makes them like it as well, then
you have the man whose stu­dents
will go out of his class
knowing something of the course
and thankful that they have
known him.
Racialism vs.
Americanism
THE myth of racial sanctity has
become one of the foremost
attributes of the nationalistic
theories of government which
have risen to power in Europe in
this generation. The contribu­tions
of races "not pure" have
been scorned and denied, or at
the very least minimized. •
On the contrary we Americans
have prided ourselves on the so-brequet
of "melting pot", and
freely recognize the validity of
the gifts to our civilization and
culture by racial groups which
deviate far from what we com­monly
conceive of as "Ameri­can".
Actually they are usually
as much "American" as the rest
of us, differing only in the public
conception.
Our mining and metal indus­tries
were first developed by
British and Welsh immigrant la­bor
and later by Poles, Hungar­ians
and other peoples of east­ern
Europe. Railroads were built
by Irish, German, Polish, Italian,
and Chinese labor. Citrus fruit
cultivation was introduced by
Spanish immigrants, and market
gardening was developed by Ori­entals,
Armenians, and Italians.
In music, the Italians Caruso
and Toscanini; the Negroes Robe­son
and Anderson; the Russian-born
Jews, Heifetz and Elman;
the Poles Rodzinski and Hof-mann;
the Swede, Jennie Lind,
have all become by-words in the
United States.
In science, the Japanese, Nogu-chi;
the Slav, Pupin; the Ger­mans,
Steinmetz, Mergenthaler,
Einstein; the Russian, Sikorsky;
and the Swede Ericsson, are all
among those who have contribut­ed
to the growth and develop­ment
of the United States.
We Americans have our faults,
but at least we do not let false
doctrines of "racial purity" im­pair
our giving credit where it is
deserved.
Well?

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.
OVER in bloody Europe, when a king
or a president or a dictator wants to
say something he says it in his own lit-
'_ tie personal news­paper.
Hitler, Musso­lini,
and other gov­ernment
heads have
t h e i r publications,
which unofficially ex­press
their opinions,
just as "Share-the-
Wealth" Huey Long
had his and "Biscuit"
O'Daniel of Texas
has his.
But for a presi-dotiH
/i/sy dent of t h e U n } t ed
States to have a publication whose only
excuse for existence is that he can ex­press
his viewpoints without being em­barrassed
is unheard of. But if column­ists
Drew Pearson and Robert S. Allen
(whose "Washington Merry-Go-Round"
appeared in the Plainsman for several
months) are right, President Roosevelt
has found a way around that.
Instead of having a periodical do his
talking for him he has puppet ambass­adors
do it. For, say Allen and Pear­son,
the much-talked-of speech made by
Cromwell some weeks ago in which he
"indiscreetly" urged the USA to j»et
on the Allied band-wagon, was in the
president's hands some days before it
was delivered and was approved by him.
However, it won't be the first time
that the two Washington correspond­ents
have been wrong about something,
assuming that they might be wrong in
this, and it does seem likely that after
all his careful deliberations and labor
toward keeping us out of the blood bath
that he'd do something so foolish as
approve of what amounted to a pro-war
speech.
* * *
General opinion of "Mr. Doris Duke"
Cromwell was pretty well expressed by
the usually-sedate Harvard Crimson
when it quipped, "That a man like
James H. R. Cromwell can serve as A-merican
ambassador to Canada is clear
proof of the cordial relations between
the two countries."
* * *
Interior Secretary Harold L. "Big
Noise" Ickes started the famous say­ing
"Dewey has thrown his diaper in
the ring." Now he's changed his name
and says that he was wrong, that a
diaper pinned in front always looks ter­rible
while Dewey always puts up a
good front.
* * *
Gov. Lee O'Daniel of Texas has
started his drive for reelection in spite
of the fact that he has been a flop as
chief executive for the past couple of
years.
At first the governor was content to
broadcast from the Executive Mansion
on Sunday afternoons, giving radio
listeners-in a good dose of bunk on
clean living and "The Boy who Never
Grew Too Old to Comb His Mother's
Hair." His moralisms might have been
worth something had they been any­thing
except mental slop tossed into the
trough of the ether waves because it
appealed to a certain class of people
whose votes he wanted.
Then the governor went over the bor­der
and bought out one of those Mexi­can
stations which always manage to in­terfere
with your best NBC and CBS
station, and has been spouting over it
for some time.
His latest, however, is a newspaper
in which he'll "tell the truth" about
things in Texas, because "the newspapers
of the state have ganged up on him and
aren't telling the truth."
Probably every editor in the state is
on his ear about the flour salesman, at
least every sensible editor. But as for
telling the truth—while there are lots
of editors who are not 100 per cent on
the up-and-up, there are always enough
of them who'll dare to tell the truth
no matter how distasteful it be. And if
the majority of Texas newspapers
weren't telling the truth about the gov­ernor,
there'd be enough of them that
would immediately swing to his de­fense.
Maybe in the end, O'Daniel will go
back to selling flour.l He's better at
that than he is at governing.
* * *
And one wonders if that "H. R." in
the middle of Ambassador Cromwell's
name stands for "His Royal."
CAMPUS CAMERA
Auburn Student Finds Adventure on
Skis in Europe's Theatre of War
By PAUL WEISZ
I THOUGHT this past winter would be
the first one without snow for me,
but it turned out differently. With
some restrictions, however, I still might
be able to make a boasting statement:
my first winter without more than three
inches of snow.
The highest snow I have ever seen
was about four feet high, in the Aus­trian
and German Alps where some
friends of mine and I used to spend
the month of March on skis in the day­time,
in straw-beds at night time, 6,000
feet above sea level, and pretty far re­moved
from civilization.
We had perhaps the most exciting
time of our experiences in March, 1938,
when a group of soldiers came up to
our little "castle" at the German-Aus­trian
frontier. They were sent up to
get their first ski course. The same
night, however, at exactly midnight, a
boy from the nearest settlement which
had a telephone knocked us out of bed
to tell the soldiers that they had to
return immediately to the nearest high­way.
Everybody thought it was a joke, but
who makes a trip in the coldness of
the night to pull a joke? Only a few
minutes later a uniformed soldier ar­rived
with the same news, this time in
form of a final and definite order.
As you know, it is impossible to walk
in four feet of snow, and so the poor
fellows, who never had stood on skis
before, returned on their skis and "im­mediately",
too, although seldom in a
vertical position. Nobody knew the rea-
.sons for these surprising orders, and
we had neither a radio nor newspapers
to find out.
At last, 30 hours later, German air
squadrons passed roaring over our
heads into Austrian territory. Was this
war? We flipped a coin and Fortune
picked me to make the trip to the vil­lage
on skis before the sun had risen
—down in eight minutes and climb
back in one hour and a half carrying
the skis.
And the news — Austria had been
taken by Hitler.
With the Co-ops —By A. Fred Hennmg
Tactical Problem
Co-operative students enrolled in
basic ROTC will take an active part
in the tactical problem which is to be
staged here on the campus at 11:00
a.m. on Tuesday, April 16. This prob­lem,
under the supervision of Maj. R.
A. Laird, will be conducted for Major
Collins of Lousiana State University,
who will be the inspecting officer.
The problem will be executed by one
war-time strength engineer company,
which will be composed of engineer
companies C and F, both co-op units.
The principle aim of the maneuver is
to successfully flank the opposing ad­vance
guards of the enemy.
Invasion of the Quadrangle
Another topic doncerning the war
classes of co-operative students is an
explanation of last Wednesday's man­euvers
conducted about the Women's
Quadrangle. A class of sophomore co­ops,
about 30 in number, was seen mak­ing
two complete turns about the square
in which the quadrangle is situated.
Those who were in the vicinity saw
these fellows walking in single file in
the center of the street about the Quad­rangle.
Each had his eyes fixed on the
ground and not one was heard to utter a
word throughout the entire four-block
journey.
Onlookers probably mistook the man­euver
to be part of a strike, or some­thing
of the like, in which the Quad­rangle
or some of its inhabitants play-
.ed an integral part. What really was
happening was a military experiment.
The purpose of the whole thing was for
each man to determine the length of
his average stride by stepping off the
measured distance.

Co-op elected to ASEC
On Monday evening, April 8, at the
weekly meeting of the student chapter
of the AIEE a pre-junior in electrical
engineering, E. C. Gentle, was elected
to represent that organization in the
Auburn Student Engineers' Council.

Mitec Engineers
Announcement has been made that
the forthcoming social of the Mitec En­gineers
will be held on Saturday, April
20.
Ray Ewald, chairman of the Key
Committee, has announced that orders
for Mitec keys wilL be accepted as late
as April 18. The allotment of this ad­ditional
week in which to submit orders
will enable more co-ops to make ar­rangements
to purchase the keys.

WE never knew 'til now . . .
About Prof. Anthony F. McKissick.
Coming to Auburn in 1892, Prof. Mc-
^ _ _ _ ^ ^ _ ^ _ _ _ Kissick established a
four-year course in
electrical engineering
. . . the first in the
South. He collected
all of the old ma­chinery
that he could
get his hands on, a-long
with samples of
wire and many dif­ferent
sorts of ma­terial.
A new build­ing
was immediately
* built to house this
equipment.
* * *
Prof. McKissick built the world's
first practical machine for the use of
the X-ray, shortly after Roentegen's
discovery of the ray. McKissick was
the first man to photograph an injury
within a human body.
DON'T FOOL WITH
THE MEN WHO HOLD
THE PURSE STRINGS!
SEVERAL years have elapsed, but the
story is still a good one. A. Cornell
University undergraduate, fascinated
by the epic proportions of the feat, de­termined
to pay his university bill of
$243.50 entirely in pennies. Investiga­tion
at a local bank revealed that 24,-
350 pennies could be procured in ex­change
for bills. The resultant sack of
copper coins was hauled to the treas­urer's
office and stacked before the prop­er
window, whereup an incensed treas­urer
informed the panting student that
pennies in that sum were not legal
tender and could not be accepted.
Undaunted, our hero returned to the
bank, planning to deposit his pennies
and get the cash to pay his bill. It
seems, however, that the banks had an
unfortunate rule to the effect that pen­nies
could not be accepted for deposit
unless wrapped, so in desperation the
student was forced to hire a bank clerk
to wrap the coins. For the small sum
of $8.00 the clerk worked the greater
part of the night, and by morning the
pennies were ready for deposit.
Armed with the necessary cash a
chastened student returned again to
the treasurer's office, feeling much re­lief
at the prospective ending of an un­happy
episode, only to find that an ad­ditional
fine of $5.00 had been slap­ped
against his account for late pay­ment
of fees. (ACP).
Students Sit Quietly
While Lightning Strikes
WHILE thousands of students sit quiet­ly
in their classes in the University
of Pittsburgh's Cathedral of Learning,
lightning may be shivering the spine of
the Cathedral, for it has been struck
more than any other building in the
university district, declares H. E. Dyche,
professor of electrical engineering.
Three direct contacts have been ob­served.
The first occurred early last
spring, when 16,000 ampers shot
through the Cathedral. A 3,000-volt
disturber was shattered by the stroke.
The second "unidirectional surge" was
confirmed on June 10 and reached 21,-
000 amperes. The last recorded hit
came sometime between October 21 and
25, 1939. (ACP).
Other valuable inventions of his were
the alternating current generator and
the first electric cotton gin.
* * *
And then there was . . .
The coed who was so dumb she
thought a pool table was a scoreboard
for water polo . . . the convict who
served a life sentence in the same jail.
They called him "Amoeba" because he
spent his life in a single cell . . . the
dumb frosh who thought that haber­dasheries
were invitations to samples of
free likker.
* * *
Credit O. Martin Holland with this
one. After listening to one of the new
Artie Shaw records, Martin said he fig-gered
that if this new band was going
to play that style of music Shaw should
change his name to what it probably
was, Arthur Shaw.
* * *
Not exactly new, but circulating
rapidly, is this classic.
"Fuzzy-Wuzzy wuz a bear;
Fuzzy-Wuzzy had no hair.
Fuzzy-Wuzzy wuzn't fuzzy . . . wuz
he?"
* * *
Even pore pacifists like us will have
to don a warlike manner and dress next
week. Realizing that our predicament
is no worse than your's, we still can't
feel dressed up, even for a visiting
general or so, in a blouse which we out­grew
about the middle of our freshman
year; a tie which resembles nothing
more than a pair of worn-out boot
strings; some britches which anticipate
high waters and are so tight they should
come complete with laces, stays, and
detachable footrests for added leverage
in applying said garment; and a hat
which has weathered so many rains it
looks like the last scalp of the Mo­hicans.
And our gray shirt. That pitiful bit
of clothing tries so hard to reach a-round
our neck and down to our wrists
that we really sympathize with it. We
could kill a heap more enemy soldiers
if we didn*t have to rip our coats when­ever
we bent to pick up a rock to throw
at them. Shooting a gun is out of the
question, because the only way we could
raise it to the level of our shoulder
would be to tie it to the back of a
slowly rising horse, which is against all
army regulations.
* * *
Here it is spring. The birds are
laughing at us, and even the leaves on
the trees seem to whisper among them­selves.
We listened in the other day,
and finally found out what the joke is.
They're laughing at some of these
best laid plans of men which have call­ed
for lots of work, which have been
thought successful, and which still show
results. It's all about tennis courts.
Committees worked. Student senti­ment
was sounded out, and found to be
overwhelmingly in favor of new tennis
courts. Some money was raised, some
more was promised, and permission
was secured, along with the promises
that we'd have several new playable
courts by spring.
* * *
It seems that this wasn't all that
had to be done. Something has bogged
down on the production end, and the
potential courts sit idly drawing water
and- insect larvae. We haven't been
able to find out just what is holding
proceedings up, but after all, less than
two months of school are left this
spring to enjoy these hoped-for courts.
It's time something happened.

TIGER TALES
By BOOTS STRATFORD
Auburn's new track and field layout has now been com­pleted
and is awaiting official christening with the Georgia
meet April 20. The track is the most modern in the South,
. consisting of an eight lane, quarter-mile
oval with a 310-yd. straightaway tangent
from the field house past the concrete
stands.
The broad-jumping and pole vaulting
layout is also ultra-swank with two broad-jumping
pits laid parallel to the side line
of the football field opposite each goal post
and two runways connecting them to the
vaulting pit which is opposite the 50-yd.
stripe. In this way both jumpers and vault-ers
may run with the prevailing wind and
not interfere with each other.
New, easily adjusted hurdles have also been bought and
will be put in use in the Georgia meet.

Mississippi State is Auburn's first 1940 SEC op­ponent
and is also a new name on Auburn's track
schedules, this being the first time the two schools
have met on the cinders.
As we have said before, students tire of seeing the
same old uniforms, traditional foes though they may
be, and a little new blood stimulates flagging interest
in sports. Therefore, we are glad to add new opponents
Purdue and Mississippi State to our baseball and track
bills and hope for even more new foes next year.

"Killowat" Kilpatrick, right-handed mound artist, has

mowing down opposition without a loss so far with his
fancy curves. He will probably hurl tomorrow's game
against Georgia. . . . Big league scouts were in the stands
as the Plainsmen downed Oglethorpe 7-0 last Wednesday.
. . . Bud Wendling has changed his grid uniform for a
track outfit and may turn out to be a valuable dash man
before the season is over. . . . "Dead End Kid" Jack Fer­rell
is giving veterans Red Caudill and Dick McGowen
plenty of trouble in the war for the big mitt position.

Andrews Hurls
Tigers To Second
Oglethorpe Win
Frazier Leads API
Stick Wielders with
Three for Five
With "Smokeball" Bill Andrews
tossing again for the first time
in weeks, the Plainsmen made it
two straight over Oglethorpe in
Atlanta yesterday by 7-3.
Still not in top condition, An­drews
nevertheless allowed the
Stormy Petrels to score in only one
canto, the seventh, when they
scored three on an error, a pass­ed
ball, and three singles.
Ralph Frazier led the Auburn
squad with the willow, collecting
3 for 5, while second-place honors
went to Tommie Thompson, who
got 2 for 4, one of them a triple.
Andrews was given sturdy sup­port
throughout the game, the
Plainsmen making only three er­rors.
One of them was a passed
ball which got by "Red" Caudill.
The Petrels threatened in the
ninth, but a double play, McNair
to Rollo to Frazier nipped the
threat.
For the Atlantans Melton,
George, and Barnett garnered 2
for 4, and Geraci 2 for 3.
- Both teams hit safely nine
times.

API-GEORGIA PLAY TODAY, TOMORROW
Bulldogs Reputed
Best in Conference
Today's Came Is at 3, Tomorrow's at 2;
Bill Andrews May Be Back on Mound
Auburn will meet University of Georgia, its second
SEC foe of the season this afternoon on Drake Field at
3 o'clock in the first of a two-game series, which will be
continued tomorrow afternoon at 2 o'clock.
With no more than time to get home and draw a long
breath after a series with the Oglethorpe Petrels in Atlanta,
the Tigers will be up against a team that is preceded by
a big reputation. They have already been picked as the
class of the Conference this year -
and have a "murderer's row" at
the plate that will give trouble to
whatever Auburn tosser faces
them.
Today's battle is the first Con­ference
match of the season for
Coach J. V. Sikers' Bulldogs,
while Porter Grant's Plainsmen
have won one and lost one in
Conference combat, both of them
with Georgia Tech.
Tomorrow's game, or even to­day's
may find veteran Bill An­drews
back on the mound after
an absence caused by mumps.

Two Meets Booked
For Auburn Stadium
Only two track and field meets
will be staged this season in the
Auburn Stadium, where a new
quarter-mile, eight-lane track has
been constructed. This year will
be the first time that the track
has been used in intercollegiate
competition, since the stadium was
not completely finished until last
fall.
The modern track, the broad­est
and one of the best in the
South, will be christened on April
20 when Auburn's cindermen
tackle University of Georgia in
a dual meet. Then the Fourth Dis­trict
Alabama High School Carni­val
will be held here on April 27.

Experiments In
Fatigue Carried
On By Pitt Prof
From 1,200 to 2,400
Calories Required by
Average Student Daily
All the talk about feeding foot­ball
players gelatine to keep them
from getting tired, and the scheme
of feeding basketball players on
nothing but celery and salt, both
of which have been tried by col­lege
coaches, helped to bring on
investigations in fatigue by Dr.
E. Alfred Wolf, associate profess­or
of biology at the University of
Pittsburgh.
Dr. Wolf found that all the en­ergy
the average person uses in
his thinking during one day could
be obtained by eating one pea­nut,
though the average college
student consumes that much en­ergy
in one hour's sustained men­tal
work.
The average college student
takes from 1,200 to 2,400 calories
a day for mere subsistence. Any­thing
he does—even eating—must
be added to this basal metabolism
figure.
The average football player,
for instance, needs enough energy
to raise six gallons of water from
freezing to boiling point.
You could talk for two hours
on the energy you need to eat
your food every day.
Then the student who plays
Bach on the piano adds only 40
calories to his basal metabolism:
if he plays a real musical gyra­tion
though, his figure will be up-ped
to 560 calories, which is the
same number used when trotting
AUBURN, STATE
TRACKMEN MEET
ATSTARKYILLE
17 Tigers Make
Trip; Meet Is First
Between Two Schools
A squad of 17 Tiger trackmen
left this morning for Starkville,
Miss., where they will tackle the
Mississippi State Bulldogs tomor­row.
The meet will be the first
ever held between the two schools
and also will initiate^ the Plains­men
into 1940 SEC competition.
The men making the trip and
the events in which they'll com­pete
are Captain "Chuck" Mor­gan,
220-yard high hurdles, 220-
yard low hurdles, high jump, and
broad jump; Alternate-Captain
Bob Dickinson, 100-yard dash,
220-yard dash, broad jump; Chet
Bulger, shot, discus, and javelin.
Jack Cagle—two mile; Bob
Flournoy — 220-yard dash; Hoyt
Hall—pole vault and high jump;
James Harris—100-yard dash and
broad jump; Jim Holley — 440-
yard dash, 880-yard run; "Babe"
McGehee—220-yard high hurdles;
Harry Russell—880-yard run and
mile.
Andrew Singletary — 220-yard
low hurdles; Jim Stephens — high
jump and broad jump; "Boots"
Stratford, 100-yard dash; Bud
Wendling — 220-yard dash; For­rest
Morgan — two-mile; Wilbur
Davenport—440-yard dash.
Also making the trip are Man­ager
Frank Wilson and Trainer
"Sinky" Scholze.
Like the Plainsmen, the Staters
have not lost a dual meet in two
years, so Auburn will be facing
no pushover tomorrow.
However, the Tigers have al­ready
proved their mettle by win­ning
the lion's share of the honors
at the Florida Relays. There Al­ternate-
Captain Dickinson was
first in the 100 and the broad
jump; Captain Morgan won the
high hurdles and tied for third in
the high jump; Hall tied for first
in the pole vault; and Bulger took
second-place honors in the shot.
The team will return to Auburn
Sunday.
down to the corner pool room.
Wrestling is by far the mert
strenuous sport, says Dr. Wolf.
It would take up 125 hours of
thinking to use up the same en­ergy
that you must have for one
hour's wrestling.
Tau Beta Pi
Continued from page 1
H. Leroy Thompson, is new
president of AIChE, member of
the Engineering Council, is a Phi
Lambda Upsilon pledge, and is a
chemical engineer.
Prof. Carlovitz received his de­gree
in electrical engineering at
Auburn in 1919. He is a member
of Eta Kappa Nu and Pi Kappa
Phi and is now professor of elec­trical
engineering.
Mr. Dumas is also an Auburn
man, having received his degree
in electrical engineering in 1911.
Since that time he has worked
with the Southern Bell Telephone
Company and is now operating
vice-president of the organization
with headquarters in Atlanta.
Membership in Tau Beta Pi is
the highest engineering honor that
can be conferred on an under­graduate
engineering student. The
organization ranks alongside Phi
Beta Kappa in t h e academic
world, being second to it only in
age among the national honorary
societies. Selection for member­ship
is based on scholarship, lead­ership,
and character.
There are 69 chapters of the
association in engineering schools
of the United States. Alabama
Alpha was established here in
May, 1920.
Notice
All captains of intramural soft-ball
teams are requested to turn
in scores of games to the Intramu­ral
Sports Office by the next day.
