FIGHT TO DUST
 AUBURN'S HEAD
 ON IN EARNEST
Winning College, Not Football, Is Issue, Says.
 DeBardeleben

In signed statement Thursday, Charles F. DeBardeleben, chairman of the S1,OOO,0O0 Auburn drive and vice president of the Alumni association, as- serted the movement to oust President Spright Dowell is Tin the interest of a winning college and not winning foot ball team" and served notice that the fight will continue until an ''outstand- ing leader' is placed at the head of the institution.
 He termed Dr. Dowell as a "politi- cal foundling," expressed regret that the alumni had not been able to conduct their fight without publicity, and charged Dr. Dowells friends with an effort to "confuse the issue by laying the movement at the door of an unsuc- cessful football season." His statement follows in part:
 "The statewide effort of alumni to dislodge the present head of Auburn and supplant him with an outstanding leader of men is not new movement.
 "This effort started when Dr. Dowell was elected president of Auburn over the protest of large number of alum ni It has smouldered ever since in the hearts of Auburn's friends who have vainly sought to reconcile themselves to a situation which has grown to be intolerable.
 Criticism Results
 Auburn alumni of Jefferson county recognize that publicity incident to this effort has brought criticism. They de- plore a situation which makes this pub licity necessary in order to elicit full expression from Auburn men. They have carefully considered other means by which the sentiment of former Au- burn students would be obtained, and have failed to find them. They have therefore taken this position-if the knife is necessary to remove the cancer and save the life of Auburn-then by all means let us have the major opera tion now.
 Friends of Dr. Dowell have sought to confuse the issue by laying this move ment at the door of an unsuccessful foot ball season-because the athletic situa- tion at Auburn was discussed with other grievances at the recent meeting of lief ferson county alumni. This effort is absurd. However much alumni may de- sire winning football team, they want a winning college first, which will up- hold the standards and traditions which have made Auburn great.
 "The criticism against Dr. Dowell is not personal It is directed-not against his character nor his ability but against his fitness for the office he now holds.
 He has failed to command the re- spect and cooperation of former Au- burn men. He has failed to attain that harmony in faculty and student body which is so essential to progress. He has failed to interest new students in Auburn. He has failed in aggressive ness, vision, force and leadership. Au- burn is not high school nor an asy- lum for political refugees. It is great educational institution which needs great leader. And Auburn men, who cherish real love and affection for their alma mater, serve notice now that this fight will continue until change is made and such leader is found.

The Half-IAngth Robe


 Now that Christmas is within biscuit toss, the age-old query catapults itself at you, What gift for man?" Is it going to elicit satisfaction or sarcasm? Holiday presents for a man would fill catalogue, though many of them, alas! should fill a waste basket. Yet, of humans man is proba- bly the easiest of all to please, simply because his wants, unlike a woman's, are practical and elemental, rather than aesthetic and fanciful. Have you ever noticed the beatific expression that lights up mans face when he cuddles decrepit old pipe or lets his eyes rove to bag of disreputable golf sticks? Yea, verify, say unto ye that man is wax in your hands if you only approach him on his most suscepti- ble side-his craving for creature com fort.
 No gift could well be more suitable and acceptable than lounging robe. It is something that few men would choose for themselves, yet that every man would be delighted to have some man or woman choose for him. Instead of putting it away, he will put it on and wear it in the very shadow of the Christmas tree. Such present meets personal and practical need as dis tinguished from so may gifts that go out of sight and out of mind even before the Christmas candles grow cold in the sokets
 'Latterly, there has been remarkable improvement in the designing and mak- ing of mems house robes. Their in- genuity and artistry would take ones breath away if Folstead hadn't thought of it first Among the rich, resplend ent materials are cashmere, foulard, poplin, velvet, plain silk, brocaded silk, Jacquarded silk, matelasse, Persian eff fleets, Paisley shawlings, flannel, double faced wool and many more.

quarter-length robes, there is the new half-length, pictured in the accompany ing sketch. This means a bit odd at first glace, but, though not in general use yet, it is smart, trim and con- venient garment as slip-on. Many men do not fancy the larger robes, be- cause they feel awkward in them. Such an abbreviated robe, vaguely reminis- cent of an art students smock, is made of heavy brocaded silk. It has the shawl collar, front edges, sleeves and pocket tops faced with contrasting satin. The broad tape girdle is of the same material. To be sure, the range of colors, patterns and fabrics is all most endless.
