Alpha Delta Chapter of Sigma
Pi to Be Installed
February 26
The Pi Omega Phi local social
fraternity was notified during the
week that their petition to Sigma Pi,
national fraternity was favorably
passed upon after six months delib­eration.
Sigma Pi was founded upon
the highest standards and Pi Omega
Phi. is signally honored in having
their petition accepted.
Pi Omega Phi as a local was in-stalled
in the spring of 1922. The
founders were J. M. Dickinson, S. R.
Riddle, J. K. Hodnette, B. P. Hatchet
and P. T. Roberts. The purpose of
the members was to fill the need of
a new fraternity at that time and to
promote better fellowship among the
brothers. In the fall of 1922 a house
was rented and has since been the
home of Pi Omega Phi. The Frater­nity
since its organization has been
the home of Pi Omega Phi. The fra­ternity
since its organization has be­come
prominent among the campus
activities. At present there are thir­ty
active members and thirty-eight
alumni of the fraternity.
Sigma Pi is 29 years old having
been founded at Vinciennes Univer­sity,
Vinciennes, Indianna, February
26, 1897. During the years of their
existence twenty-five chapters have
been installed, at the representative
colleges of the country.
On February 26, 1926 Pi Omega
Phi Will be installed as Alpha Delta
Chapter of the national fraternity.
This is incidentally Founders Day of
Sigma Pi.

Glomerata Board, which provides that
the college being declared the winner
two years shall retain the Cup.
The contest is conducted each year
under the auspices of the National
Arts Craft Guild Association of Chi­cago
and all colleges with an enroll­ment
of under 2,000 students are eli­gible
for participation.
Especially is the Glomerata Board
honored by the fact that Auburn has
set a precedent in winning the Cup
for two years in succession.
J. M. Dean, editor of the 1925
Glomerata was Junior Editor of the
1924 Prize Winner; Parker Evans,
Business manager was also an assist­ant
of the 1924 annual. Earl Lutz
was Editor, and Fred Hahn was Busi­ness
Manager of the first winning
book in 1924.
The members of the 1925 Glomer­ata
were: J. M. Dean, Editor; Par­ker
Evans, Business Manager; Cly­de
C. Pearson, "Associate Editor;
R. H. Cobbs, Associate Editor; S. D.
Peterson Athletic Editor; Assistant
Editors: Charles Snook, Ben Gilmer,
Emily Hare, Morris Salzman, W. E.
Hooper. C. J. Snook is Editor and
Ben S. Gilmer is Business Manager
of the 1926 Glomerata.
Last Monday night at 7:00 o'clock
the S. A. M. E. held one of the best
and most interesting meetings of the
year, and was thoroughly enjoyed by
all those present.
The program was opened by R. C.
Williams, who gave a short talk on
the destruction of the Linda Vista
bridge by the California Tech R.O.
T.C. unit. This bridge was of stron­gest
reenforced concrete, and was
destroyed completely by the use of
explosives. *
Next on the program was Capt.
Cushman, who gave a very interest­ing
talk on Camp and Army life dur­ing
the world war. Starting with the
training of drafted men at Camp Jack
son, he stressed the lack of competent
officers and noncommissioned offi­cers
in the training camps during the
early stages of the war. The pres­ent
day R. O. T. C. was formed to
prevent this happening again. He
told of the numerous experiences
which occured while in camp and
while they were crossing the pond,
and also of the trip through Ireland
and England. The Wildcat Division
being one of the first to go to Eng­land
and they received a hearty wel­come.
Finally reaching France they
were entrained to the Swiss border
for further training. Capt. Cush­man
also told of marching over some
excellent roads built by Caesar hund­reds
of years ago. When the Armis­tice
was signed, he was transferred
to the army of occupation in Germany
and gave quite a vivid description of
this country' and also of many in­cidents
that happened. Throughout
his talk Capt. Cushman delighted his
audience by relating several of his
personal experiences which were very
interesting.
It is worth the time to come to
these meetings as they are interesting
and instructive.
Dr. Dowell to Speak

Dr. Dowell will make his first talk
to his Baraca Class Sunday morning,
this being his first appearance since
his accident last summer. Sunday
being the last week end that many
will spend in Auburn this year, Dr..

MANY MEDALS ARE
GIVEN TO STUDENTS
IN ARCHITECTURE
Architectural exhibit, first of its
kind is attracting the attention of
faculty members, townspeople, and
students. Fifty Auburn students,
members of the sophomore, junior,
and senior classes, participated in
preparing the exhibit.
The architectural department at
Auburn is headed by Professor Fred­erick
Child Biggin, head professor
of architecture. Associated with
Professor Biggin are Milton Smith
Osborne, assistant professor of ar­chitectural
design, who had the im­mediate
direction of the preparation
of the exhibit, Albert Sidney Gole-man,
instructor in architecture, and
Frank Alston Staples, assistant pro­fessor
of drawing, water color and
modeling.
The architectural department at
Auburn is the oldest department of
its kind in southern colleges and uni­versities.
The department has the
largest enrollment this year in its
long history, approximating 100
young men and women being regis­tered.
The exhibit, planned shortly after
the opening of college in September,
consists of drawing and cardboard
models of country club buildings,
pavilions, etc. The designs, accord­ing
to observers indicate rare skill
on the part of the student designers.
Auburn had more rain during Oc­tober
than is the normal rainfall of
this place for that month, according
to the Weather Bureau report. The
rainfall for the month was 7.69 in.
which is 4.76 in. above normal. The
greatest rainfall on one day during
the month was 2.6 in. which was
greater than the rainfall of October
last year. This year there were three
light frosts during October while last
year there was no frost during Octo­ber
or November. There were nine
days during the latter part of Novem­ber
last year which had a temperature
below freezing.
During the month of November
there was a rainfall of 3.31 inches.
Last year the rainfall during the
same month was .23 inches which was
3.27 inches below normal. The grea­test
rainfall on a single day during
November this year was 1.19 inches
which was greater than the entire
rainfall during November 1924. On
six days of the past month there were
rainfalls which were .01 inches or

4?/ College Hike
Postponed 'Til Sat.
The Y. M. C. A. is to be host to
the Auburn Student body Saturday
afternoon December 12, in the form
of a hike. Those that have attended
these hik.es before need no urging,
but for the benefit of those that are
at college for their first time or have
missed the other hikes, a special in­vitation
is extended to you to come
and see for yourself just what a
great time is enjoyed on this occasion.
The hike this yar, is slated to be big­ger
and better than ever before, and
has several outstanding features that
were not on the program last year.
The hike was a grand success last
year, and with the experience of last
been able to make several new addi­tions
which will be enjoyed by all pre­sent.
The student body will gather at
Langdon Hall at 1:30 Saturday after­noon
and will march from there, led
by the band, to the scene of the big
come-off. Games and contests will
be one of the attractive features of
the hike; The Co-eds will have a
volley ball contest between them­selves;
several boxing matches will
be arranged between evenly matched
students; the Sophomores will try
to take out revenge oft-ite
a ducking they received last year
frcm the present Junior class in a
tug-of-war; the different Military
units will test their abilities at pil-low
fighting across a stream which
is deep enough to give the loser,
each time, a good drenching. Twen­ty
or more fires will be made and
plenty of food will be placed at each
one, so that everyone will have plen­ty
of room and eats to keep him well
occupied.
The hike is an annual feature of
Auburn's College life and is sponsored
by the Y. M. C. A. each year. To
miss this event, will be a good time,
hard to make up. Faculty, Co-eds,
Rats, Sophs, Juniors, Seniors, towns­people,
or in other words, Auburn
enthusiasts, -you are all invited to
this event of events.

Mr. Woodall was the special guest
of the college, having been invited
here to address the classes in jour­nalism
as well as the members of
the Freshman class in their weekly
convocation. Mr. Woodall spoke to
more than thirty young men and wo­men
in the journalism classes Tues­day
morning, addressed 500 Fresh­men
at Langdon Hall and later was
the chief -«?aker at the weekly lun­cheon
of the international Lions Club.
He was accompanied to Auburn by
Mrs. Woodall who was entertain,^
at Smith Hall by the women membelo
of the Auburn faculty. President
Spright Dowell presided at the con/
vocation exercises, introducing- tL
Woodall as a leader of his profession.'*
He also referred to the signal service
rendered to the cause of education
both by Mr. Woodall and his father,
the late Dr. Hardy Woodall, at one
time superintendent of schools in
Columbus. Chaplain Emmett P.
tcii fuiinei l,y of-l C«riuHitroap€raT"a~
boyhood friend of Mr. Woodall, led
the devotional exercises at Langdon
hall.
Following Mr. WoodalFs addresses
he and Mrs. Woodall were conducted
on a tour of the college buildings
and grounds. The party visited the
new $300,000 Ramsay engineering
hall, the architectural department,
the agricultural building, and the
poultry plant.
Mr. Woodall is a loyal friend of
Auburn. He was a guest of the col­lege
recently at the dedication of the
Ramsay Engineering Hall and
carried special articles on the dedi­cation
in his magazine, the Indus­trial
Index.
Mr. Woodall urged the young jour­nalists
to have the courage to do what
they consider their duty in writing
news, publishing all facts of news ii
terest regardless of any unpleasa:
ness that may result. He said that
journalists should have a natural ta­lent
for writing as well as a literary
bent. He urged reading as a neces­sary
foundation. He said the re;
of the Bible is one of the nece
in preparing a foundation for gooi
writing.
The speaker pointed out that wWkt
many old timers in the newspajKiP
profession in the days gone by scof­fed
at the idea of training for. jdKi

and that without a doubt young

TELEPHONE NUMBER 238—W
Boys are boys the world over and many
times they do something unthoughtedly
which is unlawful. Did you ever stop to
think that the smallest creeping animal's
life is just as precious to it as the life
of the most intelligent animal is to him?
If you do not believe it just watch any
_kind of animal you please and you will
see that it does all in its power to save
its own life.
For the last years there has been an
effort put forth in Auburn to make the
college campus a reservation for various
kinds of animals, especially those which
are useful and ornamental. The college
authorities have passed rules which strictly
prohibit the casting of stones, sticks and
clods at these animals. Still' there are
boys taking chances of being sent before
the Vigilance Committee just for this very
sport. This practice is not only a violation
of the school law but it is a violation of
state law. If you have not known
that this is against the college rules, you
know it now. Should you see any of your
fellow men casting stones, call his attention
to the fact that he is an Auburn outlaw
and if he cannot stop, he is not needed at
the college.
Any hour during the day a person can
real squirrels feeding near the animal
.lsbandry barn. These animals are fully
protected by the Professors and assistants
who work near the barn. Whenever stu­dents
wish to see these animals feed, they
may do so if they can resist the temptation
of throwing stones.
The college extends a warm welcome
to all kinds of birds except the English
sparrow. If he would stop being so detri­mental
to some of the property around and
near the military barn, he would be more
welcome to the college campus. It is up
to the individual to make the campus at­tractive
to all desirable animals rather
than disagreeable for them. Let's make
campus more a museum than a place
deserted by all kinds of amusing things.
ARE THE RAT RULES A FARCE?
Doubtless the reader will consider the
writer of this article foolish or sarcastic
I to ask such a silly question, but this article
1 is worded in this manner to make the
| reader think about the serious part of this
I question.
We all know good and well the rat rules
are not working as they should. As an
upper classman enters the main gate he
walks in jvith a rat, he meets a rat on the
street and finds him smoking a cigarette
and the rat doesn't try to hide the fact
either, it is also a very rare occurence to
[find a rat with a match for a Senior.
When the picture show is over, the rat
walks out as though he owns the building
disregarding the warning of the upper-classmen,
and, in fact, all the rat rules
are broken just as freely as though there
were no rules and. merely scraps of paper.
We are supposed to have a vigilance
committee to take care of the rats that
feel like they can do as they please but
this order has ceased to function this year,
and the majority of the student body would
like to know the cause for this. Is it
the concession that they granted us, to
punish the rats when they break the rules,
caused by the faculty who want to repeal
It seems as though the faculty interfered
last year when the vigilance committee
was doing its duty, but they had no right
to - do this after granting the permission
to handle the freshmen when they violated
any of the rules. What is^ the use of
having the rat rules if they are not en­forced
and they certainly are not enforced
today but are merely a farce. Why not
resort back to the old method of handling
rats if it is not the intention to enforce
the rules.
If all the upper classes held a class
meeting and decided that the rules should
and will be enforced then we would learn
how the faculty stands on the matter. The
faculty should make it part of their duty
to help enforce the rat rules by lending
all the cooperation necessary to the upper-classmen.
-~
When a rat enters college just out of
high school he thinks he owns the world
and that the world should bow at his feet.
-Irr -thc-past years it has been the duty of
the Sophomores, Juniors, and Seniors to
guide then in. the straight and narrow
path by bringing them down a few notches
and it can easily be said that the classes
m
in former years attended to it to the best
of their ability. Today the upperclassmen
would like to do the thing as it was done
in former years but the faculty rules that
excessive hazing shall cease and they have
supplemented the freshman rules instead.
Since the faculty takes such a big part in
seeing that excessive hazing ^does not take
place, then why don't they take a part in
seeing that the freshman rules are en­forced?
It is just as fair for one as it is
for the othe"r.
If it is the fault of the vigilance com­mittee
and they are not attending to their
duty then why not elect new members that
will attend to their duty as dead heads are
not needed. If my memory is correct the
vigilance committee has not met this year,
because the faculty has not authorized
them to do so.
If affairs'are; going to continue in the
future as they have in the past then why
not cut the rat rules out entirely as they
have reached the stage where they are a
farce ?

A SENIOR GARMENT
"Perusing the Rat Rules and gazing upon
-plebes that grace the campus we are
"wont to say something regarding the adop­tion
of a senior garment to be worn by
seniors to distinguish them from the under
classmen. Once, in the halcyon days we
remember having heard the crash of a
board, a Freshman with a Rat^cap on,
matches in his pocket, and a greeting to
upperclassmen. No, we have not made
a mistake, it should be in the past tense
for those days seem to have faded out.
picture is not erroneously presented
nor exaggerated.
The distinctions thrust upon a Freshman
were to distinguish him from the others,
now that they have seemingly failed in
.their mission we are advocating this meas-in
defense of upperclassmen. Just
rday a Freshman (we think he was a

Brt stubble of hirsute adornment)
shocked a senior by asking that dignitary
WHY NOT A TENNIS TEAM?
Mow that our bombastic football days
have ended with a thud why not say some-thing
in behalf of a tennis team? Al- f
though tennis is not on a basis with foot- j
ball it has found its place among the spprts
of the colleges over the country.
LaCrosse, swimming, and golf teams
have been accepted as major sports by a
number of Southern colleges, and rowing
is about to make its debut in three of them.
Football, basketball, track and baseball
has been the standard of sports at Auburn
since inter-collegiate relations began. The
addition of a tennis team would not be a
great expense, and we believe the expense
would be offset by the benefits, both in­dividually
and collectively, to be derived
therefrom. ,
There are several men in Auburn who
have shown exceptional ability to play the
game and to pick a team from the student
body would not be a difficult proposition.
This fact was proven by the team sent
to the tournament in Atlanta year before
last. Theirs was a creditable showing and
had they had more practice, doubtless
Auburn would have placed in the finals.
CAVE MEN IN COLLEGE
'Tis far into the night. Darkness has
spread her jealous wings over every living
creature and sleep has embraced every one
except a cro\tfd of twentieth century "cave
men" who like cats gathered on a stormy
night to romp and play—have assembled
under the shroud of darkness to work
havoc to whatever person or thing that
comes their way. Nor were they unsuc-cesful
in wielding their crude clubs and
stones. The victim is aroused from his
bed and dragged to the scene.
The judge elevates himself physically
on a trunk or table, to make up for his
moral degredation and looks down con­temptuously
on his prisoner. Every man
present - has previously been appointed
prosecuting attorney. The victim has
about as much chance as Daniel would
have had in the lion's den without faith.
False accusations are" made by some and
sworn by the others. The jury invariably
returns a verdict of guilty. Since cave
men have no moral restriction on them
except the "survival of the fittest" the
condemned one must suffer the supreme
penalty. **.;
Finally the freshman, trembling from
insult and physical abuse plods back to
his room. He murmurs to himself such
words as these: "And I have no college
spirit" and "I do not conform to the cus­tom
of the college," and "Look what we
endured when we were freshmen," as if
two wrongs would make a right. Reaches
his room. His bed is gone; his room is
stacked. He sighs "Where is the Christian
atmosphere I expected to find here? Yes,
many have greeted me with a glad hand
and solicited my membership to literary
societies. Only last night one of these
"cave men" invited me to attend prayer
meeting with him. Others who publicly
indentify themselves as ministers were
there tonight to condemn me, although I
was innocent."
Sophomores, Juniors, Seniors, is it possi­ble
that in these years of college with all
our opportunities to learn culture and re­finement—
can it be that our savage in­stincts
and base desires have becofne inten­sified?
Can Freshmen reconcile our lives
in church with that which they are in the
Hall? Are we unaware of the fact that
we can no more force the college spirit
on a man than we can make him love
us by striking him in the face? Boys,
before we boast of our superior civilization,
let us manifest it in our actions.
Freshmen,' see that you do not turn
"cave men" next year. .

Applicant: "Don't I, though! I'm en­gaged

Sophomore: What is your greatest am­bition,
Freshman?
Fresh: To die one year sooner than
you, sir.
Soph: What is your reason for that?
Fresh: So I can be a sophomore in
Hades when you get there, sir.
HOBOING BECOMES AN ART
Every college has its hoboes. In the
summer time they migrate, via the brake
beams of a freight car, to the- harvest
fields, or travel to seaports to ship out as
deck hands or coal passers. During the
semester they spend their week-ends hitch­hiking
or on the "Blind baggage" of pas­senger
cars.
Last year at Oberlin, one of these mod­ern
scholar gypsies conducted a-seminary
in hoboing. For a small consideration he
he initiated beginners in the occult art
of Vagabondage. They were given courses
in both freight and passenger bumming.
At Mercer University, Macon, Georgia,
a Hoboes Club was organized a year ago.
The president is known as Regal Rod
Rider; the vice-president, Duke o' the Dust;
th"e secretary, Holder of the Jack.
The qualification for membership of this
Club is that the prospective member'shall
' have hoboed 1,000 miles since last June.
! Membership in the Club is limited to 25
i persons.
INTRODUCING POINT SYSTEM
Behind the multiplicity of college activ­ities
stand too or three generals, issuing
orders, pulling strings. At the expense of
their studies they carry the main burden
of directing the extra cirricular uproar.
How to place the prestige and onus of
office on more shoulders, that, is the ques­tion
everywhere.
Many colleges have the point system.
Many others are thinking about adopting
it. At Furman University, S. C, the
faculty has valued each student office at
so many points and limited the aspirations
of each student to 30 points. At the Uni­versity
of Minnesota a point system is
being devised for the women. Offices
are divided into their classes, students will
be limited to a certain number of offices
in each class. At Stanford the women's
council proposes a point system of similar
nature. The Coe Cosmos (la.), propagan­dizes
for a point system at that institution.

College (Connecticut) was suspended from
college for a month.
Dean Edward Noxell was the critcised
speaker. . He said, "our duty in college
is to disregard the individual and to turn
out a Trinity type." A letter to the Tripod
sharply censured the Dean for this remark
and called the editor to account for not
denouncing this "goose stepping" policy.
This aroused Editor Stevenson to comment
as follows:
" . . . . if Dean Troxell's words cor­rectly
expressed his views, we are at a loss
as to what to do. We have always thought
of college as a spawning ground for indi­viduals—
for men who think. Better a
radical-with a beard and a bomb than a
type—a goose stepper—a man without
brains enough or courage enough to de­clare
himself."

MASCULINE SARCASM
"Why are women's papers poorer than
men's? The men are thinking in terms
of a career. The women are either spend­ing
time preparatory to marriage, or plan­ning
to reform, the nasty printer's inky
things."
In glancing through this week's assort­ment
of exchanges we were surprised to see
an article on the same thing that we were
going to write about this week. It may
seem as though, in offering you excerpts
from this article in "The C-range and Blue"
from Carson Newman college, Jefferson
City, Tenn., that we were trying to shirk
our duty in giving you our own ideas.
But that is not the case. To tell the truth
we think that this article is so much better
than any we could write, that it would
be a shame for us to go and spoil a good
subject.
This article is too long to quote verbatim
but the best and most important parts can
be quoted. "The Orange and Blue" in the
article entitled "The Young Man's Place
in College" says,
"Finding one's place is essential to suc-
'cess in any activity of life. Since society
is composed of individuals, each individual
must contribute his part to the making
of the group. If the individual meets the
demands of the group he must actively
engage with them in a common interest.
Society has no roomti.or the parasite, for
the rolling stone, for the drifter. One
who does not find his place is like a sailor
cast out hopelessly and aimlessly upon the
sea of life. The sea may be calm and the
gale may be excellent, yet this individual
"One ship sails east, one sails west,
is trying to sail with non-set sails.
By the self-same winds that blow;
'Tis the set sail and not the gale
That determines the way you go."
It is the setting of the sails, the finding
of one's place that determines success or
failure in any activity.
There are two types of people who do
not become adapted to society. One is
the grouch. He is always complaining,
finding fault, grumbling. If he does not
go to heaven when he dies he will make
things very uncomfortable for( the devil.
On the other hand, there is the over-ardent
optimist, the sentimental sunshine peddler.
He wears in sun and shower, in winter and
in summer the garments of affection. He
forces his happiness upon you when you
feel like weeping; he expects you to laugh
at what he has to say when you would
rather remain sober. He always laughs
at his own jokes, just as a hen cackles
after she has laid an egg. Nobody blames
the hen. But take it as you may, both
the grouch and the ever-ardent optimist
are irritable to society."
If that description is not one that ex­actly
fits the eternal pest that is encoun­tered
around a college and all through
life, we would like to have a better one.
All in all we think that "The Orange and
Blue" should be praised for printing such
a comprehensive article. And in the same
spirit they go on to say,
Submission to Superior*
"The average student who enters col­lege
has already a number of preconceived
notions of his own. One is that he knows
about all there is to be known. He has
recently been a senior in high school where
dignity triumphed galore. Now he is in
college where he fe^ls that he is capable
of offering suggestions to college profes­sors,
or even to sophomores. However, it
does not take him very long to find out
that there is a great difference between
the knowledge he thinks he has and the
knowledge he has in reality. The story
is told of a freshman who was watching
an old negro burn some leaves on the cam­pus.
The young man walked up in all his
dignity to the negro and said: "Uncle Lee,
I see this ground is almost as black as you
are." Uncle Lee looked up and gazing
intently into the young man's eyes, replied:
"Yes, boss, I 'spec' so, but by next summer
it'll be as green as you is." A student
needs to learn that he does not know it all.
He must be willing to have respect for
authority.
Submission to one's superiors is the at­titude
of the learner. Instead of defiance
for rules and regulations, in the classroom
or out, the learner should be punctual in
doing all that is required of him and more.
Instead of a brazen self-satisfaction with
his own meager collection of facts, he
should face the lecture room with open
eyes, with open ears but with a closed
mouth!"

Being a loyal student of Auburn and
naturally a follower of the team, Thanks­giving
day finds J. F. Collins in the great
metropolis of Atlanta not feeling exactly

a cafe to get a "tide-over," after his re­past
he asks for his check and when he
lamps the sum total of the check he
willingly agrees to pay it if they will
show him where they keep their horses
(in the pictures robbers always ride
horses.) He showed them he held no hard
feelings however and tipped the waiter
liberally.
Another week end visitor to Atlanta
was Mr. James Murvip Earnest. He had
a good time, naturally, but since he came
back he has been going around the campus
looking like he has lost his only friend
and we*are wondering what's wrong. , We
don't wish to be kept in the dark on any­thing
and the only way to get such infor­mation
at first hand.
The football season is over and there
is not much more need, or I should say,
no more opportunities, for the assistant
Cheer-Leader, namely, William Alexander
Walker. Any man with such wonderful
capabilities should not vanish from the eyes
of the public. The only thing we see to
do is to elect him traffic cop in care of/
Toomer's Corner, or some such outstanding
spot.
You sometimes read fairy tales abo
the fine things a fellow in school mul
have, automobile and such but I think
that the following incident will remove.,
all this propagation as far as the Auburr*
Student is concerned. A week or so agj
a certain boy in Auburn rented a Ford t(
go to Montgomery in because he wanted
to "strut the dog" when he, made that
town. He made the trip all O. K. and
parked the car so as to save mileage forf
that night. He forgets about the car an
when eight o'clock comes he boards a \
street car for his destination, Woman's
College of course. It never dawned upon
him that he posessed a car until after he
had returned from the date. Forgetful-ness
or plain dumb????
There seems to be a strong affiliation
between "Sweed" Mathison and: a certain
Ford car in town. I do not know whether
it is the car or the owner of the car but
never-the-le* if "Swede" stays in there
and fights them off he will come out with
the big end of the cheese.
In this school we have several honorary
members in all of the organizations but
as yet have a vacancy on the Honor Board.
If such an opportunity should arise J.
N. Shepherd wants to be on the ground
floor so that he can rate as such. Do not
know his reason for wanting to belong
but then we all have our peculiarities.
This is an extract from a summary of
the questions discussed by college editors
t
at a recent Northern conference, as re­ported
by the New Student Collegiate
News Service.
The masculine editors present at that
conference evidently believed in exalting
man. They certainly have the usual man's
way of thinking that woman's goal in life
is to successfully hunt down one man.
Conceited things.
A majority of women do finally run
down, if you want to put it that way,
some spineless individual who will allow
himself to be chased, rather than doing
the courting himself. And, the wails of
these poor women over their unhappy fate
Pike and Collins went through a chem­ical
society's initiation the other night and
the next morning awoke feeling that they
had come out with the small end of the
fun. Research and close observation
showed them that they were right in their
assumptions. It did not last long,,however,
and within a couple of days they were back
in their normal state.
effectually drowns out the joyous songs
of the women who have gone through
lengthy useful lives in single blessedness.
Woman's worth in the world is "greater
now than it has ever been. Man has al­ways
considered himself superior in every
way. Of the few men who really think,
there are none who can sanely expect
women, unaccustomed to such heavy re­sponsibility,
to be editors of college papers
and make them successful as their rivals,
managed by some brilliant man.
"Women are either spending time pre­paratory
to marriage or planning to
reform." It is sufficiently noticable that
men are the first and most urgent subject
of reform.
This article is written in all friendliness
and good humor toward the masculine
editors. The point is that said masculine
editors see the advancement made by wo­men
in the field of journalism, and they
?rasp their one weapon in defense of a
waning prestige,—derision.
Here is a little warning to these manly
absorbers of the printer's ink: find more
than one weapon in your defense against
women journalists, for they are "up and
at it."
"Women's papers poorer than men's."
Poorer, indeed.

HOME ECONOMICS
CLUB HOLDS MEET
With a large attendence the Home
Economics club held its regular-meet
ing last Thursday afternoon to finish
' *-*rf£s_gifts for the bazaar and to render
an interesting Chrishmas program.
Miss Edna Creel gave a very interest­ing
talk on "The fun of sharing
Christmas". A talk on "Christmas
Gifts" was next given by Miss Bertha
Dennis. She brought the joy in giv­i
n g and receiving these gifts, and also
suggested many appropriate gifts for
men and women. Miss Sarah Ingram
added, much to the program by the
presentation of the poem "Going
Home for Christmas". She made the
club almost feel the greetings and
pleasures awaiting the home going at
Christmas.
It is a pleasing fact that the club
is still growing into a livlier, larger
and more important organization.
This is manifested by the number of
members in the club this year and in
\ the interest taken by all the members
rin the work.
The matter for buying the pins for
the year was postponed by the presi-
; dent Miss. Alma Bentley, until the
•next meeting.
All new members are cordially in­vited

The oldest professional of Auburn
held its regular meeting on the even­ing
of December 3.
This society is known as the Vet-ernarian
Medical Association.
The last three meetings of the
society had a hundred percent atten­dance.
At each meeting one or two
papers are read by some student. He
is usually asked several questions by
members of the society on different
phases of the subject. Some ques­tions
may be asked such as how one
could distinguish a disease from a
similar one, and if he would give a
certain medicine, if so, why or why
not. In this way the student must
not "only have a few statements on
his paper but he must have a thorough
knowledge of the subject so that he
will be able to answer questions that
are asked him. The subjects are us­ually
announced a week ahead of the
time the paper is to be presented. In
this way all students have the chance
to obtain a fair knowledge of the sub­ject
and at the same time enables the
students to ask any questions desired
pertaining to the subject.
Mr. Melvin made a splendid talk
at the last meeting on Milk fever,
(parturient paresis).
It seems to us that some of us can't
get over the idea that the pigskin
game is a thing of the past as an
epidemic of what has been termed
"cow pasture" football has broken
out on the campus. Dr. Thomas
reports that a number of students
are suffering with charley horses de­veloped
in the skirmishes.

JACKSON- TURNER
The announcement made in Mobile
during the past week, of the engage­ment
of Miss Helena Turner, daugh­ter
of Mr. and Mrs. Horace S. Turn­er,
to John O'Connell Jackson, of
Montgomery, is of much social inter­est
in this city. Mr. Jackson is the
son of Mr. and Mrs. William B. Jack­son,
and is popular in social, business
and civic life of the city.
He has been located in Mobile for
the past year, as special agent for
the Alabama Inspection and Rating
bureau. The marriage will take
place early in the New Year, and
after the wedding trip he and his
bride will come to Montgomery to
reside.
In commenting on the engagement,
the Mobile Register has the following
to say: "In connection with this
marriage is a strange coincidence,
in that Mr. Jackson's home in Mont­gomery
is on Felder avenue, the
street named for the bride's grand­father,
and they will go to live in
a city rich in its associations for both
families soon to be united by two of
the younger branches."
John O'Connell will be remembered
as one of the most popular members
of the class of 1922 at Auburn.
Selwyn Turner, a member of the Ju­nior
class is brother of the bride-to-be.
Red Roberts, Auburns' AU-South-i
ern Yell Leader was awarded an "A"
'at the "A" Club banquet, at which
time the Varsity men were awarded
letters.
The never failing spirit shown dur­ing
the past football season was due
to the untiring work of Red, whose
dynamic personality was behind the
students. The letter was awarded
to him return for his splendid work.
He will become a member of the "A'
Club at the time of the initiation
which is scheduled for an early date.

FARMER IN NATIONAL
MEETING IN CHICAGO
Alabama Farmer was represented
at the Agricultural Association which
was held in Chicago, November 27
and 28.
S. R. Gibbons, circulation manager
was the official. representative of the
Alabama Farmer. Application was
made by the Alabama Farmer to be­come
a member of this association.
The association voted unamiously to
admit the Alabama Farmer into this
association if they would file the
proper amplication which must be
made sixt> > v s before admission is
desired or befoi^ the association can
legally accept their application for
membership. Although not officially
a member of this association at the
present time, the Alabama Farmer
can boast that she is to be officially
a member at the end of sixty days.
Gibbons along with Prof. Burns of
the animal husbandry department,
R. O. Swanner, and J. B. Ruffin at­tended
the International Livestock
Show in Chicago the week, November
30 to December 5.
The Epworth League is rapidly j
growing as each Sunday night newj
members are being added and much |
interest and enthusiasm is being!
shown. The recreation department
is planning to have the greatest so­cial
of the year before we go home
for Christmas, and it will pay you to
be on hand. Another thing of in­terest
will be the awarding of the
silver loving cup to the winner of the
individual efficiency contest at the
end of the semester. This cup will
be on display soon.
The increase in attendence and in­terest
may be attributed in part to
the division of the League which took
place recently. In order to carry
out the purpose of the League it was
necessary to divide it into six divis­ions
which now meet in the Methodist '
Sunday School Building. The entire
League meets in one body for devo­tional
exercises then each division
goes to their respective place and
carries out its own program.
Everybody is welcome to be out
each Sunday night at 6:30 and get in
the division in which he or she thinks
that can do the best work.
Campan—Are you going to be busy
tonight?

When the second act has come to an
end—and the curtain is rung dorwn amidst
whirling applause—"when you mingle out­side
with the excited throngs in the lobby
—have a Camel!
WHEN the thrilling second act has
come to an end. And you join the
crowds outside just as pleased and
thrilled as yourself—have a Camel!
For no other friend is s o cheerful, so
resting between acts as Camel. Camel
adds its own romantic glamour to the
brightness of memorable occasions.
No other cigarette ever made — and
kept—so many friends. Camels never
tire your taste, no matter how liberally
you smoke them. Camels never leave
a cigaretty after-taste.
So when you leave the theatre
pleased and inspired for greater things
—taste the mellowest smoke that ever
came from a cigarette.
Have a Camel!
Into the making of this one cigarette goes all of the ability of the
world's largest organization of expert, tobacco men. Nothing is too
good for Camels. The choicest Turkish and domestic tobaccos. The
most skilful blenders. The most scientific package. No other cigarette
made is like Camels. No finer cigarette can be made. Camels are the
overwhelming choice of experienced smokers.

Our highest wish, if you do not yet
know Camel quality, is that you try
them. We invite you to compare Camels
with any cigarette made at any price.

HOW THE FRIENDSHIP

Before attempting to go into a
discussion of the workings of the
Friendship Council, it might be well
to say a few words in regard to the
organization itself. Thevcouncil was

standpoint and is still carried out
in this way. Let us look for a mo­ment
at how we go about reaching

WILSONIANS HAVE
PROGRAM WHICH
HOLDS ATTENTION
»-•'
The Wilsonian Literary Society
held its regular meetin Tuesday
night in room 301 of the Main Build­ing.
The program proved true to
form by holding the undivided at­tention
of all those present from be­ginning
to end, and the numerous ap­plause
indicated that all numbers
were received and that each program
is growing more popular each week.
The first number on the program
was a talk on "Fashions on college
morals". Nelms was well prepared
on his subject and he clearly indi­cated
how college morals are swayed
by the greatest slave of man, fashion.
Miss Neita Martin, one of our most
promising Co-eds clearly indicated
that she believed in womans suffrage
and egual rights for the weaker sex
in her talk on "Women".* She indi­cated
that the character of women has
not changed down through the ages,
that woman formerly was considered
only'as a side issue but today she is
in the limelight more than ever be.
fore.. She competes with man in any
occupation and is the center of at­traction
as usual. Miss Elta Majors
showed unusual preparation in a well
delivered address on the "Life and
Works of James Barrie". She told
how this Scotchman has gained world
wide popularity by his famous writ-ingsbriefly
traced his steps along the
road to prominence. To break the
suspense of letting the fairer sex
monopolize the program, S. G, Croom
delivered a short and snappy talk on
the "Life and Works of Kipling".
This being a case where a man was
overwhelmed with success caused by
hard work and perseverance. Our
famous jester, H. Wingate who is
over burdened with pure modesty
hit along the path of humor in his
splendid composition "About the
Campus." It seemed that he tried
to make every Co-ed harping especi­ally
on the Spanish Queen (if such
can be had at this Institute of many
Polytechnics). Last but not least
S. R. Gibbons told of his recent visit
to the breezy or is it windy city of
Chicago. He told of the vices and
pitfalls that an unsophisicated stu­dent
can befall, and advised that all
members stay in the straight and na­rrow
path,when ever visiting an over­grown
village like Chicago.
Henry Wingate and Gerald Sal­ter
were appointed to handle the so­ciety
pins by the president G. B.
Phillips.
J. M. Edwards, critic seemed more
than pleased when he voiced his senti­ment
on the evenings proceedure.
A large attendance is expected at
the next meeting which will be de­voted
to a Christmas celebration pro­gram.

supreme in the light of popularity, and is a good dribbler. "Speedy"
its successor along popularity row, i Snyder is another six footer whose
hitherto unseen in the hubbub and
turmoil of the big pigskin engage­ments,
began to come from its hiber­nation
and is now making its way to­wards
the center of the platform.
Though the Tiger quint artists have
been underway almost two weeks,
the squad has been able to make but
very little headway due to the fact
that a number of prospective per­formers
were working out on
Drake Field with the footballers.
However, now that th^ fall game has
been officially consigned to the grave
yard carrying with it the tumult and
-shouting and other appendages, Ti­ger
mentor, "Mike" Papke, on whose
shoulders will rest the destinies of
the basket squad, will have opportuni­ty
to give the once over to the mass
of lights and lesser lights who are
striving for positions.
The ground work on which the new
Tiger crew of five will be built, con­sist
of five men who were awarded
their numerals last year. These men
are Captain Bill McKinney and
George Evans, forwards; "Shorty"
Long, Bill Gray and Bill Kaley,
guards.

BILL McKINNEY WILL
LEAD BASKETEERS
Wfe be assured that the crown of
the capitaincy of the Auburn basket­ball
quintet will complacently rest
on the dome of one bearing the name
McKinney for another season at least.
Fo» we have the personage of anoth­er
member- of the, family assuming
the garland of authority , though
not by right of inheritance. In
other words the modern though not
lately discovered pilot of the Tiger
squad, is Mr. William James McKin­ney,
otherwise known in more liberal
circles as "Bill". The new leader
succeeds brother Wallace who acted
in that capacity last year.
McKinney came to the Fairest Vil­lage
from our sea coast town of Mo­bile,
where he performed with the
Barton Academy five. Coming • to
Auburn in 1922, Bill worked with the
freshmen while his brother was mak­ing
a name for himself with the big
boys. The following year saw him
: graduate to the varsity where he has
j been for the past two years. McKin-i
ney is in his senior year at Electrical
I Engineering, and makes the fourth
j engineering student to pilot an Au-
| burn athletic team this year. He is
a member of the Theta Chi Fratern­ity.
main qualifications seems to be his
alertness and baffling speed. The
Brrminghamer gave them something
to think about in the way of speed on
Drake Field, and bids fair to do the
same thing on the court. Snyder is
a product of last year's frosh. "Pop"
Patterson is another who ^held forth
with the rodents last year and will
attempt to wrestle the honors away
from his mates. "Pop" received an
injury to His right hand during the
Georgia football game and will not
be ready to offer his services for
some time.
Two letter men will be represented
in the group of competitors for the
forward posts. These are Captain
Bill McKinney and George Evans.
Captain Bill is a veteran for two
years of varsity work and one year
as a member of the frosh five. He
is the second of the McKinneys, an
older brother Wallace having pre-ceeded
him on the court and piloted
last season's outfit. McKinney is an
excellent floor walker and quite a
sharpshooter. There are quite a
number of excellent prospects out for
the positions including Bill Moore, j

Aside from the five re­turning
from last year's quint there
are quite a number of likely aspirants
who hail from last winters' frosh
outfit.
Indications are that the squad this
year will be possessed of plenty of
height which is something that Tiger
quints have found wanting for some
time. An abundance of speed also
promises to add strength to the quin­tet.
There are at present four men who
are scrambling* to land a regular
berth at pivot. Hall, who lent his
presence at the post for the greater
part of last season, is perhaps the
main contender but there are seve­ral
others including Snyder, Akin,
and Patterson, who were members of
last year's freshman team. "Jelly'
Akin takes just as prominent a part
in the court game as he does in base­ball
and football. The Notasulga lad
prominent in basketball circles for
some time, will make his bow this

It would be a good thing indeed
to encourage all forms of sport on
the campus as is done in some of
the larger institutions. Most of us
are prone to watch the big teams
play and let it go at that," never giv­ing
a thought about indulging in
the sports ourselves. Very few of
us get the athletic exercise that every
college student should enjoy. So lets
get behind any movement which will
serve to encourage athletics among
the entire student body which, after
all is the main body that is really in
need of the exercise.

The guard stations give promise of
being well taken care of judging by
the number of aspirants. To fill the
bill in this department there will be
"Big Six" Price, who was one of the
big guns of last years, Edna Creel,
Phonsie Thompson, Caroline Betts,
Anna Catherine Nunn, and Mable

1 The Co-ed cage menu has not been
definitely decided upon as yet though
it is practically certain the games will
be booked with some of the old rivals
including Howard, Birmingham-Sou­thern,
Jacksonville, and Woman's
College. These games have always
witnessed competition of the keenest
variety, especially those with the Bull
dogs and the Pantherettes.
The present squad will play under
the new, modified boy's rules. The
first engagement of the season will
take place next Tuesday evening
when the varsity will tackle the Rats.
At a meeting of the Athletic Asso­ciation,
Wednesday afternoon it was
decided that the Co-eds should give
a minstrel which will be held at Lang-don
Hall in the near future.
sections. Each outfit has a time all
its own and the overseers are better
able to get a line on who's who on
the court.
In this rather imposing group of
candidates is inculded the names of j
some of ^he more prominent men
who played important roles in the
annual CoAon States Tournament
held in Auburn last year. Judging
from the past performances of a
large number of the rodents, the
squad appears to have the best pros­pects
of any that has represented
the Freshmen in several seasons.
At this early stage of the game it
is well nigh impossible to determine
just who are leading candidates and
indications are that Coach Brown
will not cut his squad for some time.

maining of the varsity should serve
The year has seen the budding of
several members of the grass cutters
and second varsity, who forged rapid­ly
into the limelight especially during
the latter stages in the campaign.
The most conspicuous case, perhaps
is that of "Speedy" Snyder. Snyder
started the season with the scrubs
as a comparatively unknown except
for the fact that the Birminghamer
could leave them all behind when it
came to negotiating territory.. As
the campaign got well under way the
tall Tiger prospect began to show the
wise acres a few things by his ability
to run through the opposition almost
every afternoon. Especially in the
skirmishes with the scrubs did the
Magic Citian display his wares. The
tall fellow was not allowed to enter
any of the Saturday frays and con­sequently
has a trio of years ahead.
With the experience gleaned from
the fall's activity we are looking for
him to show the sceptics a thing or
two later on. —
Another Tiger center was also
discovered." The squad started out
with the loss of the peerless "Fatty"
Lawrence at center. To fill the shoes
of the former All-Southern pick,
Mo'rey had two men who looked to
be about the best bets. Abe Robin­son,
who had spent'a year as an
understudy appeared the most likely,
and Pop Paterson, just arrived from
the scrubs, was sent over to guard.
However by a'peculiar coincidence
of circumstances, these two worthies
were incapacitated for duty when the
two last games loomed. "Fats" Mc­Neill,
who had been working three
years with the lowly scrubs, received
his one chance out of a hundred to
get into the big game. The hefty
pivoter came through leaving hardly

He encouraged the club to take an
interesting part in debating so we
can compete with the University of

spring. "Life of an Auburn Rat" was
very humorously presented by Rat
Collins.
Roy Kuykendall gave an interest­ing
description of his trip to Athens,
Georgia, to debate the Agricultural
Club of the University of Georgia.
J. C. Prichett kept the audience

, Montgomery, Alabama
The A. S. M. E. presented a very
unusual program at its meeting. It
marked our first appearence in the
new Engineering Building and the oc­casion
was a very pleasant one. A
very interesting talk was made by W.
R. Hardin on "Inventors of the Early
Steam Engine." Professor Hixon was
again on our program; this time he
amused and interested us with some
of his favorite card tricks. You Me­chanicals
that were not present miss­ed
a rare treat.
Hardin in his talk, told of the first
successful Steam Engine as designed
and actually assembled by Thomas
Newcomen. It was about 1707 that
he patented his first engine. This
machine worked on the condensation
principle, and as alHthe early ma­chines
proved to be, it was very ex­pensive
to operate. This cost was
due to the poor design and the cost
of labor in operation.
It was at this stage that James
Watt came upon the scene. The
Watts were an energetic family and
James proved no exception, although
be was not physically strong. He
continued his work however, and im­proved
upon the engine he began
with. One of his more striking, yet
simple achievements was to put con­densing
chambers on both ends of
his cylinder and thereby had a dou­ble-
acting engine.
Corliss, an American, was one of
the most successful of those working
on the elimination of the crude
valve workings then in use. He fin­ally
worked out a design in which
lie placed the valves on the cylinder
and attained much higher efficiency
and eliminated a great deal of labor.
Corliss was called upon to build
an engine of 1000 H. P. and was suc­cessful
in designing such a machine,
so much that he developed 2800 H. P.
with his gigantic engine. When we
realize that the average locomotive
produces about 1000 H. P., we see
that Corliss built quite a large en­gine.
However, the sturdy worker
little realized the power he was de­veloping.
His great acheivement was the
v ork he did in perfecting the Corliss
Valve, and we are highly indebted to
him for this.
As mentioned before, Professor
Hixon was on the program. He had
a few words to say on tricks and
magic and the performing of both.
He also told us of some of his ex­periences
in performing before some
very distinguished audiences and his
surprise in their being entertained
so fully by such "simple" tricks as
his.
Then came the tricks! Of course
none of us could comprehend, so he
explained their "simplicity." His trick
on concentration was the one that
took us all into the land of mysticism.
Everybody enjoyed the tricks immen­sely,
and the entertainment was very
appropriate for our initial meeting
in Ramsay Hall.
Dean Wilmore asked the society to
support the AUBURN ENGINEER by
subscription. We expect the society
to do a 100 per cent job. The society
also wishes to urge the Engineering
Student Body to do its part in sup­porting
Its Magazine.

AUBURN Y. W. C. A.
Miss Wygal, a__National Travel­ing
Secretary of the Y. W. C. A.
spent those two days chatting with
the women students tearing down
.and ^c©nst«icti»g-eld~Wfflmettt ideas
and building new foundations from
inspiration for better ones.
The first day was taken up with
individual conferences, interrupted
by much noise and excitement by the
second proved to be the really big
day. On Sunday afternoon Miss.
Wygal talked to (and not at) a group
of girls gathered in the "Y W" Hut.
The subject of her conversation was
made in the form of a question "Why
Have A Y. W. C. A.?" A list was
made and then given of all the wo-mens'
activities available for the
Auburn student. The result was: Re­ligious
activities 5; Organizations 7.
Participation in these necessarily
takes up much time and Miss Wygal
questioned whether there remained
time to do justice to a Y. W. C. A.
This brought up reasons and benefits
from having one. The girls present
formulated six subheads for the one
big reason, the promotion of Chris­tian
fellowship. These were friend­ship,
sharing or interchange of gifts
opportunity for expression and many
others.
With a larger attendance than ever
before the Home Economics Club
met Thursday afternoon to work on
gifts for the Christmas bazaar, and
to present the following program:
"Training for Commercial Leadership
in Home Economics," by Miss Grace
Gardner; "The Nursery School in the
Home Economics Curriculum," which
was tried out in Cornell University,
by Mrs. Pruitt; an enjoyable reading
by Miss Mildred Locke, and last was
told the conditions necessary before
becoming a member of the Nucloho-ma,
a new honor society for the
Home Economic students, by Mrs.
Margaret Blair. The program was
most enjoyable and entertaining, the
parts being given well.
Business was taken up after the
program. It was decided that the
bazaar would be held the 5th of Dec­ember.
Miss Summers was appoint­ed
to collect the gifts for the bazaar,
with the following committee ap­pointed
to make preparation for it:
Miss Mattie Mae Allen, Miss Rnby
Powell, and Miss Tommie Turner.
Several beautiful gifts were comple­ted
at this meeting for the bazaar.

Recently the Auburn B. Y. P. U.
has begun a contest for more mem­bers,
and also for an extension pro­gram
throughout the district. This
Z-. ?__ niedalr water -gate to univer&it-F
contest has aroused much enthusiasm
in the different Unions, each want­ing
to win the coveted prize which
will be awarded the first of next
May. The prize will consist of a
trip to Mentone, Ala. to the State
B. Y. P. U. convention next June
with all expenses paid. This lucky
person will be chosen from the Union
leading in points at the close of the
contest.
Each member of each Union must
average seventy-five or more during
the entire time. For each new mem­ber
brought in there will be a cer­tain
number 'of points given that
Union. Then for each new Union
organized by any member of the
Unions, that Union will receive more
points. There will be no limit to
the number of points attainable.
The contest has started with each
Union anxious to win. The spirit of
the Auburn B. Y. P. U. has always
been very high. The group of Bap­tist
boys and^girls in Auburn have
always worked with a never-say-die
spirit behin'd the leadership of Miss
Leland Cooper. There is keen com­petition
on, but with the close co­operation
that has been shown in the
past there is sure to be some good
reaped from the contest.

Georgia is superb, and the ideal for
every other college in the country.
The speaker also paid high tribute
to Alabama referring to the state as
the keystone industrial state in the
nation. He said'' Alabama and the
South not only have the greatest po-tcntial
natural resources in the nation
but also the fine Anglo-Saxon reserve
stock, which is more precious than
the natural resources.
Getting wrong numbers over the
Telephone is not always the fault of
the operator. Faulty enunciation is
more often to blame. This incident
illustrates one of the difficulties an
operator has to overcome in answer­ing
calls:

WHAT EVERY FOOTBALL WRIT-ER
KNOWS
That it was an ideal day with a
clear sky and a sharp tang in the
air.
That the hordes of football enthu­siasts
began to arrive the day before
the game.
That the crowd was colorful.
That it was the largest in football
history.
That the game was a mighty grid­iron
'classic.
That every girl in a fur coat was
a visiting debutante.
That every man in a fur coat was
a college rooter—or a chauffeur.
That the slaying of both captains
was brilliant.
That every available seat in the
bowl was filled.
That the losing team played with
grim determination.
That the shadows were lengthen­ing
as the game drew to a close.
That the snake-dance was a ritous
mass of exultant youth.

will soon be over and he can go back
to writing politics again.'
