Dr. Duncan Proclaims
Auburn Debate Week
Council Announces
Rules for Tourney
The Debate Council has released
the subject and official rules for
the interfraternity debate tourna­ment
to be held during the week
of October 9-17, which was offi­cially
proclaimed today by Dr. L.
N. Duncan as Auburn Debate
Week.
The subject to be debated is
"Resolved: That deferred rushing
should be practiced by the various
fraternities on this campus." This
question has long been one of in­terest
to fraternity men here and
has been the subject of many in­formal
discussions both inside and
outside the interfraternity council.
Rules governing the tourney are
as follows:
(1) The names of the fraterni­ties
that will participate will be
placed in a hat and drawn for
opponents.
(2) All fraternity men, pledges
or members, are eligible to parti­cipate
in this tournament except
those men who have debated in
intercollegiate debates any time
while attending Alabama Polytech­nic
Institute.
(3) There shall be two speakers
to one team, and each speaker shall
have a 10-minute constructive
speech and five-minute rebuttal.
(4) Each fraternity will debate
twice; pro one time, con the other;
and the scoring will be done on an
absolute scale by a critic judge.
(5) Each fraternity has the
right to enter one team per side
of the question in the tournament.
Object is Revival
Of Debate Interest
The week of October 9-17 is
hereby officially designated as
Auburn Debate Week.
In the past Auburn has been a
center of great debates. William
L. Yancey, Robert Toombs, Alex­ander
H. Stephens and others of
their day debated in historic Lang;
don Hall.
With the hope of aiding the re­vival
of interest in debate which
is already taking place here, Au­burn
Debate Week is being pro­claimed.
During this period the
fraternities will lead the way by
participating in an interfraternity
debate tournament sponsored by
the Auburn Debate Council. The
success of this tournament should
insure that debate will be restor­ed
to its former outstanding posi­tion
op the campus.
L. N. Duncan,
President.
(6) The fraternities will be no­tified
by the Debate Council of the
side of the question, date, time and
place.
(7) All fraternities shall debate
on the dates and time set for them
unless by mutual agreement and
notification of the director of the
tournament by both teams within
six hours of the time of the debate.
If the director of the tournament
is not notified, a forfeit will be in
effect. A debate may by mutual
consent be moved up to the follow­ing
day, but may not be postponed
a second time.

MARGARET McCAIN
CHOSEN AS NEW
CHEERLEADER
Margaret McCain, of Montgom­ery,
was appointed freshman girl
cheerleader Sunday night, after
winning a close decision over five
other aspirants.
Miss McCain, a freshman in
commercial art, was a cheerleader
at Sidney Lanier High last year.
She is a pledge of Kappa Delta so­rority.
Runners-up in the selection of
a cheerleader to fill the vacancy
left by June Tooker, who grad­uated
last term, were Ann Paf-ford,
Nancy Ray, Winifred Hied-enriech,
Kathryn Jenkins, and
Jane Smith. Miss McCain will
work with Doris Greene, who has
been a cheerleader for the past
two years.
The six girls met at Langdon
Hall Sunday afternoon, where
they were given copies of the
yells and instructions in the mo­tions
which go with thern by Head
Cheerleader Chick Hatcher.
Reporting back to Langdon Hall
at 7:00 o'clock Sunday evening,
each girl was allowed to give one
or more yells, before the follow­ing
judges: Hatcher, Doris Greene,
last year's Head Yellmaster Char­lie
O'Reilly, Joe Gandy, Davis
Gammage, and the newly appoint­ed
freshman cheerleader, Frank
Wiggins.
Football Contest
Opened This Week
All Auburn football predicters
can try their skill every week
now with a profitable end in view.
B. Lowe is running a football
prediction contest every week dur­ing
the football season, offering
a prize of one pair of $5 shoes
to the winner of the contest each
week.
In each Tuesday issue of the
Plainsman the list for that week
will be given. The contest is open
to everyone and all entries must
be in not later than 6:00 on
Thursday night of the same week.
The entries must be brought to
B. Lowe's store and the winner's
name will be posted in the show
window of the store each Tues­day.
NEW INDUSTRIAL
ENGINEERS GROUP
FORMED HERE
Auburn Society is Only
Organization of Its
Kind in Country Today
Feeling the need of an organi­zation
to promote fellowship and
interest among industrial engin­eering
students,. Auburn under­graduates
have organized the
Auburn Society of Industrial En­gineers.
At the first meeting held several
weeks, ago Billy Guest was elected
president. Jim King was elected
vice-president of the organization
and H. F. Fillmer and R. T. Young
became secretary and treasurer
respectively.
The Auburn Society of Indus­trial
Engineers is the only Amer­ican
organization of its kind for
industrial engineers. Several years
ago, however, there were a num­ber
of such societies in various
schools in this cSuntry, but because
of lack of interest or proper man­agement
they soon dropped out of
existence.
Realizing the need of an organi­zation
to knit industrial engineer­ing
students closer together, Pres­ident
Billy Guest said last night
the Auburn group plans to found
a strong mother chapter with the
hope of founding additional chap­ters
in other leading engineering
schools in the country.
The purpose of the ASIE will
be to foster interest and to provide
a source of further instruction in
industrial management and its
problems. The society has arrang­ed
for a number of prominent
speakers to address them on prob­lems
of industrial management.
The organization is planning an
arrangement whereby industrial
engineering students may be aided
in securing employment upon grad­uation.
Meetings will be held every other
Monday night in room 109, Ramsay
Hall. The first formal meeting
was held last night.
Membership in the organization
is open to all students of industrial
engineering and factory manage­ment.
Minutes Given For The First Official
Cabinet Meeting Of The School Year
Approval Given
To Opinion Poll
Editor's Note: An amendment
to the constitution of the Under­graduate
Student's Association,
passed in the last spring election,
requires that the minutes of each
meeting of the Executive Cabinet
be published in the Plainsman af­ter
approval by the Cabinet.
In accordance with this require­ment
we are publishing the min­utes
of the meeting of September
14 which were approved by the
Cabinet at its meeting of Septem­ber
21.
The meeting was called to order
by President Ivey at 8:30 p.m.
The purpose of the meeting was
to discuss the merits of conduct­ing
a "Student Opinion Poll" con­cerning
the present "cut" system
and also to elect the Treasurer
of the Cabinet and the Chairman
of the Election Committee.
Jim King nominated John Wat-ters
for Chairman of the Elec­tions
Committee. John Deming
seconded the nomination. A mo­tion
was made that the nomina­tion
be closed. The motion pass­ed.
John Watters was elected.
Herbert Martin nominated Mar­garet
Pearson for Treasurer of
the Cabinet. The nomination was
seconded and closed. Margaret
Pearson was elected.
President Ivey suggested that a
"Student Opinion Poll" be taken
regarding the present "cut" sys­tem.
A lengthy discussion follow­ed.
A motion was made that the
"Student Opinion Poll" be taken
so as to acquire the students'
sentiment on the matter of the
present "cut" system. The motion
passed.
John Watters made a motion
that the Cabinet place the idea
and the principles of the "Opin­ion
Poll" before the student body
in several issues of the Plainsman
so as to acquaint the students

REPRESENTATIVE
OF DUPONT TALKS
TO AG CLUB
The self sufficiency of Amer­ican
industry today, in sharp con­trast
with dependence upon im­ports
during the last World War,
was emphasized before the Ag Club
Thursday night by F. L. Living­ston,
agricultural extension" rep­resentative
of E. I. Dupont de
Nemours and Company and form­er
president of the American So­ciety
of Agricultural Engineers.
"It is the duty of the agricul­tural
engineer to bridge the chasm
between the farmer, who pro­duces,
and the chemist, who finds
new markets for agricultural pro­ducts,"
said Mr. Livingston.
A short reel entitled "Wonders
of the Chemistry World" was
shown and several recently de­veloped
products, most of which
started on somebody's farm, were
exhibited.
Great interest was manifested
in Dupont's latest contribution to
the market, Lucite, a glass-like
substance which, contrary to the
laws of physics, causes light to
travel other than in straight lines.
Mr. Livingston jokingly spoke of
a time when we might see light
piped from place to place.

Repeal The Embargo
CASH AND CARRY trade in
munitions is the United States'
best insurance against war! No
doubt Senator Borah and his bud­dies,
who "knew" enough last
spring to assure the State De­partment
that there would be no
war, wouldn't agree with that
statement. However, they are of
the same cloth as the men who
kept us from active participa­tion
in the Treaty of Versailles,
thereby aiding in bringing on the
present situation. We believe
that the "neutrality" law needs
revision, for our own sakes if for
no one else's.
We stayed out of the last con­flict
until we had to participate
on the other nations' terms. Our
interest in this one must be de­termined
while we can still name
our stakes. Commercial aid now
may stave off military interven­tion
later. If that possibility be
true we will have benefitted in­calculably.
If it be false, we are
no worse off than before, assum­ing
that military intervention will
come anyhow if Britain and
France become the losers. And
that, we are firmly convinced, is
true.
The cry of the isolationists
that the cash and carry plan is
partial to Britain and France is
quite correct. But is it not true
that our present "neutrality" law
is just as partial to Germany?
The German could not buy our
goods under any plan since they
have no merchant marine; hence,
by refusing to trade with the Al­lies,
who could buy our goods,
we are being partial to Germany.
And if we are to aid one side
we would somehow prefer that
it be the democracies. Our border
may not be on the Rhine, but we
Americans will sleep much bet­ter
knowing that Britain and
France are still there.
True there is an element of
risk in the cash and carry plan—
as there is in continuing our pres­ent
shortsighted policy. On the
one hand we have the passive
acceptance of the possibility of
our having to intervene with our
men and arms. On the other we
have an active fight to strength­en
our democratic fellows so that
the possibility will not become
nearly so probable. Take your
choice, Congress.
You've Done It
AUBURN WEARS another fea­ther
in her cap. She is now one
of the schools where the Civil
Aeronautics Authority will train
student pilots during the school
year. Between now and June, 30
or 40 Auburn students will be­come
experienced pilots as the
result of the program.
The opportunity to learn to
fly, together w i t h Auburn's
course in aeronautical engineer­ing
and aeronautical administra­tion
gives the school a secure
foothold in the flying world.
Those who worked to make
Auburn one of the favored
schools merit commendation for
what they have done. They had
no easy task. API was handicap­ped
in its airport facilities, so
the administration went to work
and persuaded the stockholders
of the Auburn-Opelika Airport to
give it to the school. To buy an
airport would have been diffi­cult
enough in itself; to get citi­zens
to give the school one was
an accomplishment. With a few
improvements the airport will be
ready when the program opens.
Dr. Duncan has worked tire­lessly
to bring the program to
Auburn, and it was to a large ex­tent
due to his labor that the air­port
was secured. Lt. B. M. Cor­nell,
head professor of aeronau­tical
engineering, is another who
has given freely of his time and
effort. And there have been oth­ers
who have chipped in gener­ously
with help.
To all of you, on behalf of the
student body, "Thanks."
Come On, Get Cultured
ABOUT THE BIGGEST dollar's
worth we know of is the Au­burn
Concert Series. For one •
buck, only a greenback, you can
get a lot of entertainment.
Most of us know little of Eu­genia
Buxton, pianist, or Ralph
Pearson, lecturer on art, or the
Roth String Quartet. Joseph
Knitzer, violinist, is more well
known. And few of us have not
heard of Allan Jones, H. V. Kal-tenborn,
and the Don Cossack
Chorus. These three features
alone would make the Concert
Series worth far more than the
price of $1.00.
Let's see, seven attractions for
one dollar—that's a little over 14
cents per attraction. And any
time you, can hear any of the
above three for 14 cents you can
chalk it up on the wall as a rare
occasion. And the others are of
undoubted high caliber, just not
being quite so well known to Au­burn
students.
The Concert Series was estab­lished
last year primarily for the
student body. Students are given
first choice on the tickets, which
are limited in number to less than
half the number of the student
body. They will be sold to stu­dents
through next Saturday, af­ter
which those left will be sold
to the public which is gnawing
its nails awaiting its chance. So,
you had better get yours before
Saturday. Else, you may be sore­ly
disappointed when some at­traction
comes to town and you
can't even get in.
Stick With 'Em
THE CAROLINA Political Union,
non-partisan students' organ­ization
at the University of North
Carolina, is in the middle of an­other
scrap.
The Union, which tries to view
all political questions objective­ly,
has announced that it is con­sidering
inviting Fritz Kuhn, fue­hrer
of the German-American
Bund, to address them.
The American Legion and cit­izens
all over the state have vig­orously
protested. The Chairman
of the Union met the objections
with the flat statement, "The
CPU is still considering an invi­tation
to Mr. Kuhn and reserves
the right to invite him if the
union wishes and so votes."
Jonathan Daniels in his Ra­leigh
News and Observer defend­ed
the cause of the CPU with the
statement, "Fritz Kuhn will do
us no harm but we might harm
ourselves if we refused to permit
University students to hear what
he has to say."
Occasionally squabbles such as
this may arise at the University
of North Carolina. But they only
serve to accentuate the complete
freedom of student speech and
thought which has had much to
do with making the University
the center of thought and culture
in the South.
Man is about the worst beast
we know of.
Buy your Concert Series ticket
now. Else we're gonna say "I
told you so."

Collegians will again offer Au­burn's
jitterbugs and swing lovers their
popular style of music—the "South's
Sweetest Swing."
The Collegians rose to popularity last
year after getting off to a late start.
Organizing after the social calendar
was drawn, they were too late to con­tract
the dances booked at that time.
By the end of the year, however, they
were well known on the campus.
Though the personnel of the band
has undergone several changes this
year, each man has been carefully se­lected
for his musical ability, and again
there are 12 first-class musicians mold­ed
into a very good college orchestra.
In front are the saxophones expert­ly
manipulated by Harold Sharp, Pied­mont;
Calvin Miller, Montgomery;
George Blackwell, Huntsville; and Gray
Harpley, Roanoke. Behind them is the
brass section handled by J. W. McKee,
Selma; James Hard, Montgomery; John
Blunschi, Eutaw; and Jack Hill, New
York. Grady Daily of Montgomery is at
the piano, Joe Breedlove of Opp sup­plies
the bass, and Jack Allgood of
Roanoke beats it out on the drums.
The leader and vocalist is none other
than Jack Dimmerling, formerly with
Al Donahue and his orchestra. Mr. Dim­merling
studied voice for several months
in New York City and promises a pop­ular
style of lyric rendition.
"In 30 days," declares Mr. McKee,
"we will have an orchestra second to
none in Auburn. We are ready to go
now, but practice never hurt anyone,
and we're busy polishing off our rough
edges that we might offer Auburn the
type of music it has always known."
Though he has never taken music,
Mr. McKee has played in 11 orchestras,
among which was the Auburn Cava­liers,
who are now making a name for
themselves throughout the country. In
three of these orchestras he was musi­cal
director.
Last year, because of their late start,
the Collegians had to accept many out-of-
town dances. Every engagement was
a musical success, and with few excep­tions,
they had repeat jobs at the places
at which they played.
The announcement that the orches­tra
will operate again this year gives
Auburn students three dance bands
from which to select music for their
dances, and the competition involved
should give them their best music of
the past few years.
Plains Talk
By Herbert Martin
IN LAST WEEK'S edition, I urged the
cheerleaders to make efforts to se­cure
a couple of coed cheerleaders. I
admitted that I knew very little about
the situation, but I didn't know quite
how little I did know.
The cheerleaders, and this comes
from "Chick" Hatcher, head cheerlead­er,
who, incidentally, shows promise of
becoming one of the finest yell-gather­ers
of recent years, are definitely in
favor of having coed cheerleaders. Un­fortunately,
that's about as far as he
is able to go. The cheerleaders, broke
too, have no way of raising funds to
buy uniforms for the gals, and the gals
couldn't perform at football games on
wintry days in the nature - donated
dress.
The Executive Cabinet has voted to
see that the uniforms are procured, so
Auburn's quartet of noise-maestroes
will be aided and abetted by two of the
charm creams of this institution.

From many sources come reports that
the sorority column of Friday's issue
was a classic example of that old Au­burn
custom . . . brown-nosing. I can
only blush in shame to think that any­one
would consider me guilty of such
a motive. Based on results to date, my
report can safely say that any such at­tempt
failed in its infancy. I still ain't
done no good.
* *
Last year I hollered, but I didn't
know what it was all about. I still don't
know, but I'm going to holler some
more, and I have a feeling that I'll
find out a little more about it this year.
Whatever it is, there's something that
gets you when that Auburn team runs
on the field that makes you want to
holler from now on. Auburn grows on
you; I'm even beginning to like Broun
Hall.

From Montevallo comes the follow­ing
bit of information which was picked
up down there a week-end or two ago.
It struck us as funny that this
particular sign should be posted on a
bulletin board is one of the Alabama
College dormitories. The sign reads:
"Freedom is the right to do as one
pleases as long as one pleases to do
right!" Well!!

Kupid Kelley, Glomerata Glamour
Guy, capitulating to popular demand,
will not publish the usual type of folio
this year. The booklet will be modeled
in newspaper form, and glaring head­lines
instead of glaring errors will in­troduce
the reader to each section. Kel­ley
has issued a call for old issues of
the Cajoler and Tiger Rag as there will
be a humor section this year.

With most of the fraternities already
indulging in football practice regular­ly,
this season's intramural football
warfare promise to surpass last fall's
thrill-laden calendar. If all of the boys
don't disable themselves before the sea­son
gets underway, there should be
some hectic struggles on the several
fields by the time that the cups are
awarded. At the rate that practice ses­sions
have been going, the teams will
have to declare an intermission at the
end of every period to bury their dead.
Touch" football, without the protection
of pads, can become a pretty dangerous
sport.

This one was lifted from the shirt

Quotable Quotes
"I WANT MY son to go to a school
where they teach all form of govern­ment.
I want him to know all there is
to know about Communism, Fascism
and Socialism, as well as representative
forms of government. I want him to
know all the good and the bad points
of all these theories of government,
as they have been worked out in actual
practice in the past and in the pres­ent."
Alf M. Landon, 1936 Republican
presidential nominee, votes unequivo­cally
for freedom in education.
"Education exists not merely so that
the rising generation may face, discuss,
and, if possible, decide questions basic
to political society and human life. It
exists also to provide the highest goods
themselves. It exists to foster moral, in­tellectual
and spiritual growth. Its re­sults
should be a sound character, a
disciplined mind, and an elevated spir­it."
University of Chicago Pres. Robert
M. Hutchins eloquently describes the
great ends of higher education.
"In these troublous times, democra­cy's
safeguard against the inroads of
totalitarian philosophies is education. At
this very moment the traditional values
of our civilization are being challenged,
and the colleges and schools of the
country will have to assume a more im­port
role than ever before.—(ACP).
By John Ivey, Jr.
SUCH A STORM OF comment came to
light as a result of matter printed
concerning the need for a dean of
men and the plea for a freshman orien­tation
program, that we feel there must
be a wound existing somewhere among
administrative circles.
Of course we have been told that the
officials are doing everything possible
to install a system for dealing with stu­dent
problems, and that the system that
has been planned would be much bet­ter
than that featuring a dean of men,
but there is some doubt in our mind as
to whether any decentralized program
for handling such matters would be
workable without bringing it to a head
with an individual who had the sole re­sponsibility
of aiding the students with
their projects.
From all we can gather the new pro­posal
is one that would necessitate
some person in each department giv­ing
a portion of his already valuable
time to the attention of student rela­tions
within his sub-division of the col­lege.
This opportunity has been exist­ent
here for years, but still the evil
exists. There can be very little if any
progress made toward the betterment
of student-faculty understanding until
one person shoulders the responsibility
for so organizing the system.
* * *
Included in the college calendar
for the current school year is a week
that has been set aside under the title
of "Religious Emphasis Week." Accord­ing
to plans already underway, these
few days will be devoted to a series
of programs for the entire student
body, devoid of any denominational ex­hibitions,
to provide matter for thought
and discussion.
There will be regular lecture ser­vices
coupled with informal discussion
periods at which time the local pastors
as well as out-of-town church workers
will be on hand to participate and an­swer
questions of interest to students.
* * *
It is not the purpose of the college
administration to have these services
take the air of highly evangelistic
events. The chief aim is to stimulate
thought along matters of a religious
nature, to encourage discussion, and to
thereby make the college student bet­ter
able to answer questions that might
arise in his mind regarding religion.
* * *
Since the days of early man, orderly
human conduct has come from the spir­itual
releases of man's being. From the
concept that the individual could take
his personal problems to his God there
finally came the ideal governmental
form—that the individual could take
problems to his government, that the
state existed for the individual.
In these days of human misery we
are seeing the fruits of the latest con­cept
of the state's relation to the in­dividual.
Where the state is all power­ful,
with the human being existing only
so long as he will strive toward greater
glorification of the government, with
the idea of a God banned from the
mind, all these ideals are on trial via
the gun and sword.
* * *
Through the medium of the planned
programs it is hoped that the students
will take the week as a chance to stop
and consider the natural outcome of a
world if by chance its ideals of proper
relationships between nations and per­sons
were to go down in defeat.
* * *
A little off the beaten path but cer­tainly
a problem to the picture show
fan is the habit of some members of
the female clan who insist on wearing
those out-of-the-world creations called
hats to the movies. It has come to the
point that if you happen to end up
behind one of those massive bits of
ribbon and what-nots, there is little
chance of seeing the show without
crooking your neck into a letter "s".
Of course ladies have been allowed
the privilege of wearing their hats with­in
the house; they have been bothered
little with rising when being introduc­ed
to newcomers; however, for the sake
of common politeness, why don't they
think just a little before they wear
those peacock feathers and turkey-tail
dusters to the theatre? This is one lit­tle
matter Emily Post must have over­looked
in her dabbles in the depths of
proper conduct.
* * *
To the first year men should go a
nice bouquet of flowers, variety to be
- selected later, for the spirit they have
shown regarding the rat caps. For the
last week the campus has been dotted
with the orange and blue caps of the
first-year men. One of the boys show­ed
up at the "A" Club dance Saturday
night with his rat cap perched atop his
head and his date hanging proudly to
his arm. Have another flower.
War!
A NEW NOTE has entered the open-ing-
of-the-year editorials in the col­lege
press—a note that is ominous and
fearful in contrast to the usual happy
welcomings of other years. Almost with­out
exception, first issues of the col­lege
newspapers for this school year
carry warnings to their readers to keep
a weather eye on the war and diplo­matic
movements of the world, and to
study with renewed interest the causes
of war and the ways and means by
which the U. S. can keep out of armed
conflict.
The futility that most collegians feel
about war is aptly phrased by the Ho-bart
College Herald: "The most dis­couraging
aspect of the whole situation
is that there are no indications that
things will be better after this Second
World War is ended. We are witness­ing
a vicious circle in which wars en­gender
hate which causes new wars and
more hate. It seems to be impossible
for a people to fight a war without
building up so much hatred of the enemy
that a reasonable peace is impossible."
There is a general feeling among col­legians
that we must stay out of this
war, come what may. The anti-war
oaths popular some two or three years
ago seem to be cropping up anew. Lis­ten
to the University of Richmond Col­legian:
"To the man who says we can't
stay out of war, say: 'We owe nothing
to Britain, and we have nothing to
fear of Germany. We can stay out of
war; we must stay out of war; we will
stay out of war!"
A second to this motion is made by
the New Mexico State Teachers College
Mustang: "We say, it's Europe's war,
not ours!" And that seems to be the
general collegiate opinion today.—(A
CP).
CAMPUS LEADERS—Virginia Adams
tra-curricular activities, she is enrolled
in Education, with a major in History.
About two weeks ago came the great­est
thrill in Virginia's life. She was se­lected
to present Mrs. Eleanor Roose­velt,
wife of the president of the Unit­ed
States, with a large bouquet of
roses upon the first lady's visit to Au­burn.
When asked how she felt after
Mrs. Roosevelt had departed, she ex­citedly
exclaimed, "I was thrilled to
death. It was more fun!"
Among the young lady's hobbies we
find stamp collecting, scrap books, and
collecting of college pennants. Like a
true southerner her favorite dish is
golden brown fried chicken with bis­cuits.
She likes to dance and take walks
about the campus with her dog, "Skip­per",
a German Boxer.
She has always had a weakness for
writing poetry and has written some
rather creditable verse. Her favorite
poet is Dorothy Parker; she also likes
Rudyard Kipling, especially his famous
poem, "If". Her favorite actor is Fran-chot
Tone, and she is very fond of
crime dramas.
Delving further into her habits and
ways we find this jumbled collection of
odds and ends. She claims she has no
dark secret in her past. She never late
dates. Likes football but baseball is
her favorite sport to observe. She
claims she has never been in love.
Plans to take a tour to California when
she graduates. Then she wants to set­tle
down, teach school, and perhaps—
get married, although she didn't exact­ly
say so.
If you do not know Virginia Adams,
we suggest that you make a most de­lightful
acquaintance.
A SMILE FOR EVERYONE and al­ways
out of breath—that's Virginia
Adams, president of the Woman's Stu­dent
Government Association, flitting
here and there about the campus cast­ing
a cheery word to everyone she
meets.
This charming little miss from West
Point, Ga., is probably one of the best
known of our coeds, and certainly she
knowns more students by their first
names than any other girl on the camp­us.
"Swell girl" seems to describe Vir­ginia
in two words.
In addition to being president of the
WSGA, Virginia somehow finds time
to take an active part in IRC, YWCA,
Open Forum, Writers Club, Cardinal
Key, Kappa Delta Pi, and also is an
ex-officio member of the Student Ex­ecutive
Cabinet. Aside from these ex-

Large Crowd Attends
Mechanical Engineers'
Smoker Monday Night
The Auburn branch of the A-merican
Society of Mechanical
Engineers entertained a record
crowd of 115 mechanical and
aeronautical engineers with a
smoker Monday night, September
18. The meeting was presided
over by John Sandbrook, the Vice
President.
The object of the affair was
to acquaint the members of the
two schools with the objects of
the ASME, and also give the
freshmen a chance to meet the
upperclassmen.
The entertainment of the eve­ning
consisted of speeches by
Prof. John C. McKinnon on "The
Benefits Derived from the ASME"
and by Dean J. E. Hannum
who gave a new definition of an
engineer and a short but interest­ing
exhibition of magic and hyp­notism
by Prof. C. R. Hixon.
It was announced that the Au­burn
branch would be co-host at
the ASME meeting to be held in
Birmingham at a latter date.

A little on the minor side is
"Wail of the Winds" played by
Red Nichols. By the way, it is his
theme and thus given the best of
treatment. Still featuring a good
band and a good trumpet, Red's
version of Bix Beiderbeck's "Dav­enport
Blues" is nothing short of
a classic. You remember Bix as
the fellow who started all this
stuff. Bluebird.

Bob Eberly sings a Jimmy Dor-sey
original billed as "So Many
Times" as Jimmy backs him with
his sax tooting. A good vocal
number, but Jimmy should stick
to ride work with his saxophone.
Something really good is "Take
a Tip From the Whippoorwill." A
fine band number with Helen O'-
Connell as featured vocalist. Dec-
Artie Shaw in "Day In-Day
Out" with the vocal explanation
by Helen Forrest. The tune re­minds
one of Artie's old record­ings
in regards to the punch of
the band after the vocal. For a bit
of jitterbugging Tony Pastor gives
the demand in "Put That Down
in Writing." Another good ar-

Featuring a fine violin-muted
brass combination behind vocals
by Denny Dennis, Ambrose and
his orchestra have finished two
good, tunes done in fine style for
Decca, "South of the Border" and
"My Prayer." Both are good ad­ditions
to the sweet tune stack.

Our bid for the week's finest
bit of swing: "Love Me" and "Ro-setta."
Woody Herman's exciting
clarinet and vocals by Mary Ann
McCall and Steady Nelson, give
the two tunes; extra appeal. The
Woody Herman band is really a
sender. A new Decca.
* * *
Louis Armstrong combines some
high trumpet notes with a bit of
his jig vocal efforts to product
"Shanty Boat on-the Mississippi"
and "Baby Won't You Please
Come Home." The usual Arm­strong
show with a pretty good
arrangement on both tunes. Dec­ca.

Erskine Hawkins gives his band
the spotlight with his latest job
for Bluebird called "Gin Mill
Special" and "Tuxedo Junction."
Both tunes are strictly race stuff
and thus full of fine ride courses at
good swing tempo. Hawkins has a
band that bids well to be heard
of for quite some time.

Famous Musician
To Star In Movie
At Tiger Tomorrow
With Jascha Heifetz, the world's
greatest violinist, starring "They
Shall Have Music", which will be
shown Wednesday and Thursday
at the Tiger Theatre, unfolds a
gripping story of human interest
highlighted by tense and thrilling
action. The principal romantic
roles are played by Walter Bren-nan,
Gene Reynolds and Tommy
Kelly. Walter Brennan will be
remembered for his roles in "Jessie
James", "Old Kentucky", and
"Stanley and Livingstone".
"They Shall Have Music" draws
its characters and plot from the
wealth of material found on New
York's East Side. Briefly, the
story revolves around Professor
Lawson, portrayed by Walter
Brennan, and his music school set­tlement,
composed of r a g g ed
youngsters who are musical prodi­gies.
Into this school comes
Frankie, who inherited a talent for
the violin from his dead father
and has run away from home to
escape the hate of his stepfather.
The boy is taken in tow by the
Reduced prices for tickets to the
United States Marine Band con­cert

Concerts will be given by the

at 3:00 P.M. and 8:00 P.M. Tick­ets

concert, 75 cents for the night

Tiger Drug Store.
professor, and blossoms into a fine
musician. How he tries to repay
his debt and how he lures the great
Heifetz to the aid of the financially
bankrupt school provides the cli­max
to the story.
To portray the pupils in the
school, Mr. Goldwyn hired the
California Junior Symphony Or­chestra,
composed of 45 young­sters,
whose ages range from 8 to
14. They represent a cross-section
of American life with few if any
of their parents in the brackets of
more than moderate means. Music
as produced by the symphony
orchestra of prodigies has been
classed by such an authority as
Stokowski as surpassing many
orchestras of adults. Mr. Goldwyn
also introduces to the screen for
the first time a nine-year-old opera
singer, Jacqueline Nash, whose
voice is said to be reminiscent of
Galli Curci.

IN THE SATURDAY EVENING POST AND GOOD HOUSEKEEPING
Cabinet Meeting
Continued from page 1
with every side of the issue. The
motion passed.
A discussion followed concerning
the wearing of the "Rat" caps this
year. President Ivey stated that
the freshmen would be required
to wear their "rat" caps at all
times when outside of buildings,
and that the "A" club, interfrater-nity
council and all other organiza­tions
on the campus would see that
this was enforced. President also
stated that the Caps would be on
sale throughout the entire year,
either at the Accountant's Office
or at some other available place,
at a price of 50 cents.
John Watters made a motion
stating: "All freshmen will be re­quired
to purchase their rat caps
before they will receive their ath­letic
books." The motion was sec­onded
and passed.
Sam Pettus brought out the fact
that Alpha Phi Omega had begun
a drive to unite all organizations
on the campus in a movement to
secure additional tennis courts for
college students. He asked that
the Cabinet approve a committee
to work with Alpha Phi Omega
on this plan. President Ivey stated
that the Cabinet would cooperate
in every possible way to aid in this
drive.
President Ivey stated that the
Student Executive Cabinet would
meet on the first and third Thurs­days
of every month at 8:00 P.M.
He also stated that the members
of the Cabinet were subject to a
"call" meeting at any time. A 75
cent fine will be in order for any
unexcused absences.
There was no further business,
so the Cabinet adjourned at 9:15
P. M.
