Photographer Begins
Work On The Pictures
For The Glomerata
A representative of White's Studio,
of New York, arrived in Auburn
Thursday to begin making pictures
for the Glomerata. The Freshmen will
have their pictures made first, cards
being mailed to each Freshman with
the time and date for his picture
to be made. Each student who has
a class at the time his picture is sche­duled
will be excused from that class
for fifteen minutes. The hours for
making pictures are 8:15 a. m. to
3:45 p.m.
Cooperation on the part of the
students in making the pictures is ab­solutely
necessary. If for any reason
a student cannotf be present when
his time is stated on the card he
should see someone immediately at
the Glomerata office and make ar­rangements
for another period. The
time for making upperclassmen pic­tures
will be announced later. Any­one
desiring to have their picture
made by appointment should attend
to this as soon as possible.
The studio is located in the Glom­erata
office in the basement of
Alumni Hall.

The "Auburn Players" inaugurated
their new season Monday night.
Plans have been made for present­ing
at least three plays of pure com­edy
in Langdon Hall this year. The
first play will be "You're Next," by
Harry L. Hamilton, tTIe director.
A class in play writing will be
organized by the "Auburn Players"
under the direction of Professor
Hamilton. The class will be limited-ed
to twelve members who will be
chosen for their ability.
Those who are interested in any
phase of dramatic work—play pro­duction,
writing, directing, acting,
costume designing or lighting effects
are cordially invited to make appli-cotion
for membership and arrange
for a try out.
Otto Brown, chief of the Bureau
of Plant Industry of the State De­partment
of Agriculture, Mont­gomery
has been appointed to, and
has accepted, a position as extension
specialist in forestry, effective in
October, according to announcement
made today by Prof. L. N. Duncan,
director.
The position which Mr. Brown will
fill is a new one. It was created by
the Clarke McNary Forestry Act of
Congress, June 7, 1924.
The object of his work will be to
assist owners of farms in establishing
improving and- renewing wood*
lands, shelter belts, windbreaks, and
other valuable forest growths, in
growing and renewing useful timber
crops and in marketing and utilizing
the same.
The work which Mr. Brown will
do will be done cooperatively with
the State Forestry Commission, Page
S. Bunker, Montgomery, as state
forester. Under a memorandum of
agreement, Prof. Duncan says that
the two lines of work will supplement
each other, and that those engaged
therein will cooperate in order to
make their work of maximum im­portance.
A very fine T>lan has been
arranged.
Mr. Brown is $n alumnus of the
Alabama Polytechnic] Institute, lo­cated
here, of the class of 1914. One
year later he received his Master of
Science degree; and continually
thereafter, with the exception' of the
time he spent in the army during the
World War, he has been engaged in
horticultural work. His experience
has included teaching, research, and
also the regulatory work which he
has done in his present position.

Spirited Meeting Marks First Get
Together of Student Body; New
Coaches Make Their First
Appearance
College Night and the first mass
meeting of the year was staged in
Langdon Hall Saturday night under
the direction of the Y. M. C. A.
The first to make his appearance
on the scene, was Red Reborts, the
Tiger cheer leader, followed by the
band. They were immediately fol­lowed
by Dr. Dowell, Coach Morey,
Coach Papke, C. B. Burgoyne, pres­ident
of the Y. M. C. A., Captain
Harkins and several other of the
Tiger Warriors.
Dr. Dowell took the platform as the
first interceder for the Auburn Spirit
and College Night. He assured the
students of the loyal support of the
faculty and himself in particular at
the football games this season, and
exhorted them to replenish the true
"Old Auburn Spirit," especially em­phasizing
the upright conduct to be
maintained on all occasions. He
departed from his central topic
for a short but urgent plea for the
students to take a more active inter­est
in their own organization, the
Y. M. C. A.

Positions On Staff
Of The Plainsman
Any students, Freshmen in­cluded,
who are interested in
working on The Plainsman staff
call by The Plainsman office Mon­day
or Tuesday afternoon from
two o'clock until five and from
seven p. m. until 9:30, and leave
your name and address for an as­signment
or.tryout.
There are a. few vacancies to
be filled on the staff and a num­ber
of appointments to be made
on the Reporters Club. Previous
experience is not necessary.
The Y. M. C. A. had its opening
meeting last Sunday afternoon at
two o'clock.
Miss Alberta Proctor, president for
the year, presided over the meeting
and gave an interesting talk as an
introduction to the meeting. This was
a welcome to the Freshmen and the
new girls. ^
There were several talks given.
Miss Emily Hare presented the stu­dent
and sorority question to the girls
and Miss Celeste Nesbitt gave an old
Freshman's point of view of college
life. Miss Dobbs and Miss Harris gave
talks on the attitude of the faculty
toward the^ Women Students in Y. W.
C. A. They also gave a survey of the
ideals and aims of the Y. W. C. A.,
and charged the new girls with the
mission of holding up these ideals.
The devotional exercises were led
by Beth Siebold. Dorothy Taylor led
the musical part of the program.
This meeting enjoyed a large at­tendance
and was a most successful
opening.
"I have a profound love for athle­tics,"
said Dr. Dowell, "I shall go so
far into the football game as I am
able. I can and will be with every
j mar: ov. the team in every game and
I shall endeavor to play football so
far as I can. Let's be 100 percent
in loyalty, in faith, and on the field.
Mr. Captain, we are going to give
you all the support you need, and
we want you to keep the reputation
in the future that Auburn has for
clean sports in the past."
Coach Morey urged the necessity
for secret practice up until the Bir­mingham-
Southern game so that he
might be able to give his full, undi­vided
attention to the players. The
implicit confidence that the students
have in Coach Morey will surely
guarantee the fullfilling of his re­quest
that they control their curiosity
for a while longer. He expressed
his love for Auburn and his admira­tion
for the fine cooperation of the
students and team.
"I am an Auburn man with all
my soul, heart, and body," said Coach
Morey. "I don't promise you that
will will lick Georgia Tech, Texas, nor
Georgia but if you will save your
money and follow that team and
back them, wherever they may go;
there will be none better in the
world."
Coach Papke commented briefly
upon the famous Auburn spirit and
the part that enthusiasm plays in
winning games.
Captain "Red" Harkins sounded
his note of appreciation for such
bright outlook for the coming season.
He predicted that we were facing the
best season we have ever had and he
believed that the Tiger team is going
to play real old genuine Auburn
football this year. "Red" made an
appeal to the students to eat at the
Student's Co-op Mess Hall to help
the athletes. "Bull" McFaden and
"Bozo" Self expressed their opinion
of the coming Tiger team.
A few yells were practiced and
the old "pep machine" was started to
rolling again. A number of "Rats"
grouped together after the meeting
and gave yells on the streets.
College night is given under the
direction of the Y. M. C. A. It serves
as a means for the students to get
together and discuss the plans of the
Y. M. C. A., to become acquainted
with the Y. M. C. A. work, and to re*
vive the "old Auburn Spirit" for the
coming football season.
Mr. C. B. Burgoyne, president of
the Y. M. C. A., was chairman of
the meeting.
Lieutenant-Colonel William Dun­bar
Wills, who attended Auburn in
1892-96, died suddenly while in ac­tive
service at Camp Perry, Ohio,
September 5. William D. Wills, Jr.,
his son, who is a member of The
Plainsman staff, left immediately
upon receiving the news for Phila­delphia,
his home.
Lieutenant-Colonel Wills was a
special student in pharmacy at Au­burn
from 1892 to 1896. He later
had two brothers who graduated from
Auburn. He was a substitute on the
football team and was considered the
best pitcher that Auburn had in base­ball
at that time. He was a member
of the Sigma Nu fraternity and took
part in a number of other college
activities.
After leaving Auburn, Lieutenant-
Colonel Wills went as a volunteer to
the Spanish-American war, and in
1902 joined the regular army as a
private. He stayed in service for
several years and rose from captain
in 1916 to major during the World
war and in 1921 was made Lieuten­ant-
Colonel, the commission he held
when he died.

AUBURN BENEFITS
FROM TWO RAINS
A 3.19 inch rain last Wednesday
and another heavy downpour Satur­day
night brought relief from the
drought which has lasted for a great­er
part of the summer. The rain on
Wednesday night was the heaviest
that has fallen this summer.
Auburn is well supplied from a
new reservoir near the pumping sta­tion.
By noon Thursday a conserva­tive
estimate was that fully 10,000,-
000 gallons of water was impounded
in the reservoir. There is also an­other
well at the station which has
not been used for a number of years.
This well was connected and has been
furnishing water at a rate of 50,000
gallons per day.
A report has gotten out that water
was being hauled here by the rail­road.
This was said by Dr. Dowell to
be groundless. "In fact," he said,
"Auburn has n6t had a serious short­age,
only economical use of it being
necessary. Even before the rain of
Wednesday we were prepared to run
a year without rain.
With this added supply there cer­tainly
will be no more rumors that
Auburn is short on water. We have
an ample supply.

Auburn has definitely decided^ upon!
and outlined her program ivT radio.1
engineering and broadcasting. Plans /
for it were completed at a 6W &K
ence here this week of rady
gineers, members of the engiti
faculty, the agricultural
service, together with Dr. Sj
Dowell, president. It was the, clin
to Auburn's work in radio I which
dates back to 1922 when V&tor H.
Hanson, publisher of the Binning- A
ham News and Montgomery Adver-.^J
tiser, presented a broadcasting sta-l
tion to the college. Cl
Early this year the Alabama Pow-i
er Company presented her station^
which was located in Birmingham,
Auburn and at the conference here'!
this week arrangements were made
for the extension service to buy ad­ditional
equipment which will make
it the last word in radio engineering,,
and also provide for oper*ti»?v<*i»i

commencement this year,- the boaj
of trustees named it the Victor

Carrying out instructions ~o^ the
board of trustees, authorizing the
Extension Service to take these ste]
in radio broadcasting, Prof. L. N]
Duncan, director, called the confer­ence
and assured the engineers that
the Extension Service is now in this
field with a view to putting Auburn
and Alabama to the front in radio
and thereby render a new and broad­er
educational service which is no1
possible without a first-class _hr-<
casting station.
An enthusiastic member of the
ference was Prof. A. St. C. Dunsl
professor of electrical engineer]
who has been the outstanding lead*
in radio development at Aubiina.
Teaching, research, and broadcasttiBjJ,
have been done under his directlwi
for several years, and he is very haj*-
py that plans have been arranjted
;ind provision made for the complete
radio program which is now assuiJejjL.';...
Others at the conference were George
E. Chase and H. S. Price, radio en­gineers
of the Western Electric com­pany,
New York, and John S. Shaw
and Chas. I. Kinsey of the sales de­partment,
Birmingham.
An order was placed for the addi­tional
equipment needed. The present
program of development calls for the
beginning of daily broadcasting
some time in December.

A FIRM HOLD
k This is a leading question in any good
^ d l e g e , as getting the right start affects
^^.scholarship of the student more than
Bthing else.
^W'anjwjejoaf on the job at the beginning
^ F follege and afford to suffer the after
fects? We certainly can not as the con­sequences
are very severe in most cases.
If the new or old student gets a firm
grip on the art of studying properly at the
opening of the fall term, it is practically
a safe bet that he will continue this essen­tial
duty throughout the term.
It is true that the first semester of the
year comes during the football season and
we have a desire to make every game and
go home the remaining week-ends. But
feyi we aTford to make every game and
let our studies suffer as a result?
Begin good hard study from the start
and once the habit is formed it will be
hard to discontinue. It is also to be remem-
\ bered that the first month or two counts
^largely on our semester average. College
| records show that the largest percentage
I of failures are due to students that don't
make the right adaption from the start, by
assuming a more serious toward their
studjes and devoting more conscientious
time to their preparation.
By proper selection of the course that
fits you properly, it certainly will not be
a burden or hardship to do the work that
course specifies. You have no business at
Auburn if it is a burden, as your time is
more valuable at home.
By hard study ones tim.e is well spent and
the mind will cease to dictate to you to keep
' * 'n lithe go. The student that applies himself
right is highly respected by his professors
and class mates.
Have your fun while at Auburn, support
^the teams one hundred percent, but remem-
^k- that the main purpose in entering col-
HL is to master your course by good hard
» ! d y . After all this is our main purpose in
Btending college.
^Can you afford to pay the price of loaf­ing
by suffering embarrassment of be­ing
sent home for not studying?
THE WORD "RAH"
There is a real reason why college cheers
so frequently contain the word "Rah." Ac­cording
to studies made by Dr. Irving B.
Crandall and Mr. C. G. Sacia of Bell Tele­phone
Laboratories, men ordinarily speak
this sound louder than any other vowel. If
the value of 50 be assigned to the amount
of energy delivered by a man's voice to the
air for this particular sound, then its near­est
rival, the sound of "a" as. in "tap"
comes next at 44, and as in "talk" at 37.
Women's voices present quite a contrast
to men's in that there are four vowel
sounds of practically the same loudness.
These are the vowels in "tone," "talk," and
"rah." "Ah" is the easiest sound to produce
because fewer throat and mouth muscles
are tensed; hence it is the basic vowel
sound in most languages.
ALL-COLLEGE NITE
A better exempification of the Auburn
Spirit has never been shown than that dis­played
last Saturday night at the first j
mass meeting of the entire sudent body.
This is an excellent indication of a good
spirit throughout the year. Langdon Hall
was filled to capacity and the whole gang
was bubbling over with enthusiasm.
The Freshmen were there for their share
and they sprang forth with an abundant
supply of noise. Let's all learn the yells
and get right for the Birmingham-Southern
game next Saturday.
Dr. Thomas made a wonderful talk on
general health precautions, in Freshman
convocation last Tuesday. He cautioned the
Freshman about the dangers of the mo­squito
and told them how to guard against
it. His general health hints were also good.
They were all simple things but they are so
simple that we are apt to neglect them. He
mentioned the care of the teeth, washing
the hands before meals, the importance
of vaccination and other points. He also
requested each Freshman to have a physi­cal
examination made if he had not al­ready
done so. We hear these things quite
often but even then we some times,neglect
them.

that you can do and there is some
organization thai needs you. By helping
it you help yourself. There are four liter­ary
societies in school and all of them are
doing good work. You help them and they

The Conductor of this column asked a
Freshman to cover Convocation Tuesday.
This is what he received:
FRESHMAN CONVOCATION AS A
FRESHMAN SEES IT.
Rat Convocation,
Langdon Hall,
11:80 to 12:00, 9-15-25.
436 Rats present, hair as follows: 186
Mink's Tresses, 76 with hair 5-8 in. long,
35 with hair 3-8 in. long and 25 with hair
1-4 in. long. Temperature 97 deg. F.
A low murmur swells the breeze. The
rats are restless. Hark! Someone sounds a
note on the harpsichord. Music! Orchestra
plays II Trovatore by (Writer is
sorry but he does not know who it is by.)
A gentleman takes his seat on the ros­trum.
Soon other men mount and take ad­jacent
seats.
Bowling, representing the firm of Bowl­ing
& Meyers, hands out, generously, cir­culars
advertising his vast bargains.
Three other stately gentlemen enter and
take their respective seats on the stage.
The music still swells the breeze. The
rats are impatient. Some naughty rats per-sistjn
talking.
Music ceases at 11:19 3-4.
Clapping.
Temperature has risen to 101 degrees F.
More expected.
The odor of a struck match pervades the
atmosphere.
One of the gentlemen on the stage makes
his way toward the door; invites a few of
the more bashful freshmen in and returns
to his seat.
Dr. Dowell introduces the Methodist min­ister,
who reads a few passages from the
Bible. The rats then stand to be" blessed.
Prayer over—rats are seated.
Dr. Dowell introduces the president of the
Student Council who tells in a very few
words what a rat CAN DO. Gentlemen on
stage smile cooly. The president of the
Student Council urges the importance of
obeying-the rules as set out in the Rat
Rules. He proceeds to explain each rule and
regulation in such a manner that even the
dumbest freshman can understand both the
rule and the result of disobedience.
Three rats are sleeping peacefully. One
is snoring rather noisily.
Dr. Dowell introduces Prof. Shi who
states he would like to see all Pre-Med rats
and also all rats that have not had the
pleasure of studying Plane Geometry.
A stately gentleman arises and informs
the rats about the modern languages:
French, Spanish, German, Greek, Hebrew,
Yiddish and Chinese. He asks the already
weary freshmen to see him and sign up for
three or four of these for a pastime.
Dr. Dowell next' introduces Maj. Hatch
who informs the rats that they, in the near
future will have seats assigned to them in
Langdon Hall. He explains in detail where
each and every rat is to sit and enjoy his
Tuesday morning recess.
Band announcement made.
Temp, remains constant at 101 deg. F.
Dr. Dowell speaks to the rats and then
introduces Dr. Thomas.
Dr. Thomas tells about the sick list and
then asks how many rats have had a physi­cal
examination. About seven hundred
raise their hands. Rats moan at a joke.
Auto with open cut-out passes on the
outside Very delightful.
Dr. Thomas tells the rats not to be sick
above all things and to beware of the dead­ly
mosquito. Upon hearing one of the
beasts yodeling about your innocent form
whilst in the arms of Morpheus the correct
thing to do is to write your favorite con­gressman
for protection. If in the arms of
some one else do nothing. He also tells rats
to wash their hands before going on an
extended trip. Dr. Thomas takes his seat.
As the orchestra strikes up a snappy
tune every rat in the hall springs from
the arms of Morpheus and joins in the
grand rush for the door. Thus endeth the
first convocation for the class of '29.

Printed without his consent.
An event of prime importance which
has taken place in the last week has been
the breaking of the long drought from
which the Village of the Plains has suffered
for so long. Altho enough water has not yet
fallen from the "Sun Kissed Skies" to en­tirely
relieve the shortage, quite ahelpful
amount has fallen in the three rains that
we have had and there is a promise of lots
more. We all are looking forward to the
day when we will have enough water in
our system to allow it to stay on for the
full twenty-four hours. Altho we have not
been as badly hit as some of the neighbor­ing
towns we feel that we have had our
share of the water, shortage. We hope now
however that it is to be a thing of the past
and that never more will we know What it
means to hear the pitiful drip of the faucet
when there should be a rushing stream.
The Old Auburn Spirit is with us in full
force once again and it seems to have im­proved
during the vacation months. No
sound is more capable of bringing joy to
the heart of the loyal Auburn student than
! the sound of a "War Eagle" or an "Eat
BOLOGNA
Having made a very careful study indeed
of the ancient custom of cheering, we
are prepared to announce without fear of
successful contradition that it had its in­ception
in the days of the Roman gladia­tors,
when great volumes of sound echoed
back and forth across the arena of the
famous Colosseum. This custom was, no
doubt, originated in order to egg on the
timid wild beasts against some poor, de- ,
fenseless Christian. In fact, we base all of \
our surmises on the age-old custom, which ,
is now rapidly falling into disuse, of tack- j
ing a 'tiger' on the end of a cheer. There
is no question but that we are right. We
are always right. If you do not believe that
our staements are true, gentle reader, we
refer you to Dean Petrie, who is, as every­body
knows, infallible on matters of an­cient,
modern, or any other sort of history.
We approve highly of cheering. It is one
of the best means known of letting off
surplus energy, particularly for freshmen.
And it is not good for freshmen to have
any surplus energy. It is entirely too
likely to be expended in unforseen ways
which, in turn, causes the already over­burdened
upper classmen to have to ex­pend
some small amount of their excess en­ergy
in retaliation of castigation, as the
case may be. We therefore place the re-sponisiblity
solely upon the capable shoul­ders
of our most excellent cheerleader, Mr.
Red Roberts. Mr. Roberts is an engaging,
personable, young chap. He is quite hand­some
in his own way, which, if we may be
permitted to say so, does very well indeed
in the absence of any other. He is a very
vociferous sort of chappie with one of those
open Irish countenances. In fact, through­out
all the years we have known him we
have never known it to be closed. At this
juncture we find it necessary to state that
we are accompanied wherever we go by a
bodyguard who stands six foot six in his
bare tootsies, which, by the way, are num­ber
fifteens, weighs two hundred and fifty,
and carries a knockout punch in either
hand. He is also a sure shot with either
foot.
We have finished our peroration, but
we feel quite verbose this morning, and
for the honor of the dear old editorial
staff, and because we have more space
than we know what to do with, we feel that
we must go on. There is no question but
that if we keep on writing long enough we
shall say something comprehensible. How­ever,
the question that obtrudes itself upon
our mind is this, Are we supposed to say
"anything comprehensible? We doubt it se­riously.
To be exact, we are sure we are
not. In fact we will offer a prize of five
million roubles (one coca cola) to anyone
who discovers anything in this column
which remotely resembles anything intelli­gible.
We, of course, reserve the right of re­futing
any such charge with some well-planned,
logical or illogical, retort. We
shall now retire from the field of editorial
action for one week, in which time we hope
to be able to think up or otherwise get hold
of a sufficient number of such retorts as to
be able to refute quite a number of such
charges. One has already occurred to us.
"So is your old man!"
'Em Up Tiger" floating on the breeze in
the wee small hours of the night. Keep it
up men! It gives the men on the "Big
Gang" a feeling that nothing else can
give. Any one can go to a mass meeting
and get up a lot of pep because we are all
together in a gang and we pass it from one
to the other but you are alone in the
wee small hours and you break out with a
real Auburn yell, it comes straight from
the heart and there is really something
behind it. Something more than the mere
influence of the mob. You really mean it
with every ounce of energy that you put
into it. By all means yell your lnugs out
when you go to a mass meeting but don't
stop at that. Let folks hear from you all
hours of the night. It sounds mighty good
and it sure won't hurt anybody except the
teams that the Big Gang is going tc back
and we should worry about them.
Things are looking mighty good for the
boys who wave their fair hair by wearing
a headset all hours of the night and day.
With two radio sets practically ready for
operation on short waves, a broadcast set
which will be in operation before the first
game and a large set which will be ready
by the first of the year, Auburn will have
more ra,dio equipment than any school in
the South and it will compare fa vol ably
with any school in the entire United Stares.
When the present radio program is carried
to completion Auburn will be on the air
in grand style. There will be rib doubt in
the mind of the outside world as to what
we are doing in the Village of the Plains.
This will furnish an advertising medium
which has no equal. It will give the people
an insight on the activities of Auourn
which has never before been possible.
There will be no town, no matter how
small, in the whole state, that the voice
of Auburn will not reach. The old iron
mast which stands over the Freshman
chemical laboratory is truly an Alladins
Lamp in another form.
Do You Know
When knowledge is brought down to a
mere collection of facts it is going to make
pretty dry reading for some unfortunate
student some time in the future. For that
reason a column headed "Do you know"
will have to contain more than pure facts.
It will have to contain several of the per­sonal
views of the writer and a great many
of the different views held by different
people about the campus on the same sub­ject.
For in the end it is not facts but
reasoning that makes life interesting. If
at any time you should not agree with
some of the views set forth in this column
remember this little exchange from the
"Infantry School News:"
VIEW POINT
Let us walk up the sidewalk of life.
We stop the first passerby and inquire
of him where the other side of the street
is. He replies as he points: "Just over
there."^ Patiently we cross the street and
make the same inquiry and receive ths
same answer as before. In desperation we
pause and deliberate. Where is the other
side?
We must first look thru the eyes of oth­ers
if we would find our answer. We must
realize the viewpoint of the other person.
And so it is with every walk of life. Many
of us fail to get the viewpoint of the other
man and ever go thru life hunting the
other side of the street. Before we judge
others for their reply let us apply the rule
of view point. Strive to see the object thru
the eyes of others before passing judg­ment.
Couple our judgment thus gained
with charity and evaluate the result with
equity.
The humon equation is an essential that
must be considered. We should not steel
our eyes- to the facts that may be seen
by others and which are invisible to us.
Before we condemn, stand shoulder to
shoulder and look carefully from his view­point,
we may then see the light that
moulded the thought in the other person.
Determine from his plane how we our­selves
look and allow credit for the facts
in the case.
We are prone to use our own judgment
as the standard—don't forget how o ur
side of the street looks to the man over
there. He is justified from where he
stands—take his position into considera­tion.
He has a right to his own opinion.
Find his viewpoint.

Not all the new material is found in the
Freshman class alone because .Saturday
night a new Daniel Webster was discovered
in the person of "Jelly" Self.
The first Monday usually finds the Sopho­more
in command of the Village but con­trary
to the rule the Freshman was found
to be in compdete control this year. In
fact the Freshman thinks the Vigilance

it as he does a convocation note-book.
What, a new house going up on Fra­ternity

With less than two weeks before the
first football game, one might say that we
are rushing headlong into-the f cotb»U-<-;«i>--
son. We are, but we must not rush blindly.
This year we are starting off with a new
head coach and new assistants. Many of the
varsity will also be new. But there is one
factor that will not be new. That is the
Auburn spirit. The beginning of Auburn
spirit is not buried in antiquity, to be
sure, but it is old enough for us to have
a healthy respect for those who have gone
before and helped build up that spirit. It is
old enough for every Auburn man to strive
to make it older and better. Do you know
of a single coach that you have ever heard
who did not urge you to back the team to
the limit of your time and your pocket-book.
And with the backing of the team to
help the Auburn spirit comes other things.
Here are a few of them that the Georgia
Cracker sends us:
BOOST.
Boost your city, boost your friend,
Boost the lodge that you attend,
Boost the street on which you're dwelling,
Boost the crowd which you are selling,
Boost the people round about you;
Possibly they can do without you;
But success will quicker find them
If they know that you're behind them.
Boost for every forward movement,
Boost for every new improvement;
Boost for the stranger and the neighbor,
Boost the man for whom you labor.
Cease to be a chronic knocker,
Cease to be a progress blocker;
And if you'd have your home team better
Boost it, boost it to the final letter.
Some of us might get by with this three
dollar sur-charge for laundry but with the
others this extra amount will be hard to
explain in that letter home.
An old Auburn alumni visited the college
the other night and mentioned the fact that
the Auburn Spirit was not as noticeable
as he expected it to be. He changed his
opinion that night though when he visited
the same old picture show.
What is this we hear about Ed Andrews
walking away with the distinction of being
a "perfect specimen of manhood" during
the summer school?
A good many of the four-year men are
back with us this year but are not register­ed
as post graudate students.
"Destruction" Jimmie Stripling is back
with us this year but so far has not gone
on the war path.
One of the best sights to be, had on the
campus this year is that of the Senior In­fantry
unit drilling in ranks with the rifle.
Too bad every one can not ratet__
We have heard of several things that
Doc Small can do but this being captain
of a battery is a new one on us.
A freshman walked into one of the book
stores in town this week, laid a bill down
on the counter and actually waited for
some change.
This same freshman stepped into ••% book
store the next day, threw down his wallet,
threw up his hands and meekly asked if
that was all they would require/today.
One of the leading publications recently
I stated that the only occupation that a
college graduate was competent of filling
these present days was that of clown for
some circus.

It is bad enough to have to pay your
board bill before Christmas but this pay­ing

Now is the time of year when it is fash­ionable
to write editorials on the lowely
freshman. However fashion is a fickle thing
and as with the fad of wide bottom trous­ers
there is lots of room for improvement.
No chance for improvement in the fresh­man
of course but how about the poor
upperclassman. Consider what he has to
suffer in the way of dumb-bells. Take the
case of the dutiful upperclassman who,
having learned his lesson in his turbulent
freshman year decides that it is the best
policy never to put off till tomorrow what
you can do today. Every night he prepares
his lesson early so that he can go to bed
when all good upperclassmen should go to
bed. And every night when he is just slip­ping
off into the arms of Morpheus the
eternal pest calls him back to ask him
where his physics, math, or any other
homework is, so that he, the pest, can bor­row
it for a few minutes; not to copy it
of course but just to look it over. You
know the best I mean? Then again con­sider
that other pest who thinks that you
should be up and dressed at least an hour

FIELD ARTILLERY HAVE
MOST SUCCESSFUL#AMP
The Auburn Field Artillery R. O.
T. C. was well represented at Fort
Bragg North Carolina this summer.
Camp opened June 12, and lasted for
six weeks through July 23. The
officers in charge declare this sum­mer's
camp was probably the most
successful one ever held by the Au­burn
R. O. T. C.
Ninety two Artillerymen were en­gaged
in very intensive training
learning the fundamentals of army
life and making application of what
they have learned the last three years
in class room.
At first it was very hard for the
boys to arise at 5:45 in the morning
fall in and go through the various
calesthenic exercises. Soon the fel­lows
accustomed themselves to this
rigor, and it would have been ex­tremely
hard for a stranger to dis­tinguish
between the Auburn men
and the regular enlisted men. It
was also hard for the men to accus­tom
themselves to the army discipline
but after a short while it was seen
that this is the most essential thing
in the army routine of work.
Not one Artilleryman was sent
uoineTfbr misconduct and according
to Major John E. Hatch, comman­dant,
"It was the most all around suc­cessful
R. O. T. C. camp I have ever
attended. The men conducted them-

selves Arery gentlemanly and credit­ably
to the college and assumed a
serious attitude in regard to their
work."
In as much as Auburn has the only
Field Artillery unit in the south, the
men were under the direct command
of their college R. O. T. C. officers.
The college officers included Major
John E. Hatch, commandant, Captain
Louis J. Compton, and Lieutenant
Charles P. Jones all Field Artillery
instructors.
The men were regarded as privates
in line of duty and the instruction
included numerous phases of the
army life. Probably the hardest
thing to attend to was the grooming
of the horses and the many other
.r.inute stable details. The first part
of camp found the men engaged in
daily hikes with the horses ;>nd the-
French 75s, of which Lieutenant
Jones was in charge.
The most interesting phase of the
camp work was the range firing and
the observation of fire, of which the
boys made -a marvelous record. On
the range the French 75-millimeter
gun was used and shrapnel and high
explosive shells were fired. Each
student was given an opportunity to
fire two problems in the field.
Near the end of camp Captain
Compton had the men spend one
night firing and also a retreat at
night under fire. The officers were
a little skeptical in regard to the
outcome as this had never been at­tempted
before by any Field Artillery
in the south.

Leslie Newman, of the Class of
'22, preached at the Auburn Baptist
church last Sunday night. His mes­sage
on "A Call to Service" was en­joyed
by a large and appreciative
congregation.
Mr. Newman is at present a stu­dent
in the Southern Baptist Theolo­gical
Seminary at Louisville, Ky>,
and will complete his course in May,
1927, receiving the degree of Th M.
(Master of Theology).
Following his graduation from
Auburn in 1922, Mr. Newman spent
two years as a teacher in Barton
Academy. He resigned his position as
teacher and entered the ministry in
the fall of 1924.
While a student at Auburn he took,
part in many college activities, being
especially prominent in Y. M. C. A.
work. He was a regular student at
the Baptist church, being a leader
in Sunday school and B. Y. P. U., and
was the first president of the Tichenor
B. Y. P. U.
October, Prof. M. J. Funchess, di­rector
of the Experiment Station, ;
suggests 'that farmers plant their ,
hairy vetch seed. A light rain is not
sufficient; a good season is necessary ;
for satisfactory germination and to j
get the young plants far' enough
along for inoculation. This being done
success is almost certain, the only
danger being that of being lifted
from the ground by alternate freez­ing
and thawing during the winter.
—vital in electrical
communication, too
"41-7-27-3," sings out the quarterback; and
the football goes on towards a touchdown.
"Madison Square 32198," says a voice in
San Francisco; and a message starts on its
way across the continent.
But the similarity between football and
the communication art doesn't stop there.
In each case signals have unleashed a great
force. Coordination has scored the goal.
And this was made possible only through
years of preparation. In one instance, on the
gridiron. In the other, in the college class­room
and the laboratories of industry.
That, in short, is why men who've learned
their fundamentals and how to apply them
at the snap of a signal are qualifying for
positions of leadership in the greatest field
of signals known to man — the field of
communication.

A war on dogs that have not been
inocculated against rabies has been
declared by the town council of Au­burn
following a conference between
members of the eouncil and the" lead­ing
citizens here.
It was pointed out that rabies can
be eliminated through inocculation
of all dogs. Japan and England have
stamped it out entirely and a number
of the leading cities of the United
States haye followed suit.
Under the resolution adopted by
the Auburn council r.ll dogs in Au­burn
must be inocculated with anti-rabie
serum once a year and any
dog found without a tag indicating
inocculation will be summarially shot
on sight. All owners of dogs in Au­burn
are called upon to cooperate
with the council in removing the men­ace
of rabies.

MODERN GOVERNMENT IS
DISCUSSED BY DEAN PETRIE
"The greatest and most wonderful
thing in this great country is our
modern government, which has stood
the rigid test of endurance through
these many years," Dr. George
Petrie, dean of the Graduate School,
Auburn, declared at convocation ex­ercises
for the upper classmen here
today.
"We all believe wholeheartedly in
this great state and nation and never
tire of speaking of their numerous
wonders, but we often wonder what
is the most wonderful of all. I don't
think it is Niagara Falls, or Muscle
Shoals, or New York City. The other
nations think our government is the
most wonderful think we have, where
all creeds are ruled alike in a most
unique manner.
"It is true we are confronted with
numerous murders and robberies
which are a disgrace to us, but autos
take a greater toll of life than these
two perils combined. More than twice
as many people commit suicide than
are murdered, and carelessness due
to fires costs us much more than
government is our constitution which
is remarkable for its simplicity and
clearness. It is the essence of wisest
thought, which is a monument to the
Anglo Saxon race that will live for
ever."

Extension Service To
Take Active Part In
Alabama State Fair
The Extension Service is preparing
to take an active part in the State
Fair at Montgomery, November 2-11.
An educational exhibit similar to that
displayed at the 1924 fair is being
collected and in addition the county
farm and home demonstration agents
throughout the Montgomery territory
are assisting in the preparation of
community and county* exhibits.
Plans for the Extension Service ex­hibit
were made at a conference here
of specialists and supervisors, called
by Prof. L. N. Duncan, director. A
special committee composed of mem­bers
of the staff, has been placed in
charge and the work is making satis­factory
progress.
Like the Auburn exhibit of last
year that of the approaching fair
will feature both agricultural and
farm home work. Those in charge
are putting forth every effort to
make it both instructive and interest­ing,
and thereby of maximum value.
While a fair is an excellent enter­tainment,
Extension Service workers
regard the information gained as its
chief value. Therefore, they are
stressing this feature.
Not only are the Extension Service
workers themselves preparing for the
fair, but they are also encouraging
other people to do likewise. Although
the 1924 fair at Montgomery was
considered a big success, the opinion
prevails that the approaching event
will be better in many ways.
EPWORTH LEAGUE
Everyone is invited and urged to
attend the Epworth League Sunday
night at 6:30. The officers for this
year will be formally installed and
the new members initiated. An ad­dress
"How to Fail," will be given by
Mr. A. B. Davidson, the student
pastor.

had to quit.
He: Why, what was the trouble?
She: Well, on the fourth page the

page seven he was struck dumb with
wrath and Joe was afraid he was too
crippled by then to have as a hero so
he just quit writing.

True to traditions the A. P. I.
Engineers upheld the high standards
of Auburn men at the summer ctmp
held at Fort Bragg, North Carolina,
during the torrid days starting June
12 and ending July 23 inclusive.
After recovering from the shock
of not being able to encamp near
Washington as the senior engineers
of last year did, the boys settled
down to real genuine work and made
a real man's size job of it.
The officers declare it was one
of the most successful R. O. T. C.
camps ever conducted anywhere, as
the Auburn men settled down to
business by assuming a serious atti­tude
toward their work from the
start. «'«*•
The R. O. T. C. Engineers were
made up of men from three colleges,
the University of Tennessee, the Un­iversity
of Alabama and Alabama
Polytechnic Institute.
At first a little rivalry existed be­tween
the Auburn men and the Uni­versity
of Alabama men, but as the
men plunged into the intensive
training they worked together more
harmoniously each day.
The Auburn Engineers were very
fortunate in having their college of­ficers
instruct them at camp. The
Auburn officers included Major J. E.
Hatch, commandant of the entire R.
O. T. C, and Captain L. A. Pick,
second in command of the engineer
unit. Captain H. A. Dillon of the
University of Alabama was in
charge of the engineers from the
three colleges.
Probably the most notable ach­ievement
of the men at camp was
the building of a 225 foot, 5 ton
capacity pontoon bridge in 26 min­utes.
This lowered the record held by
the regulars by two minutes, the
former record having been 28 min­utes.
For this work the boys won
much fame, as few officers expected
a bunch of college boys new to army
life beating the regulars in their
field of work. The governor of North
Carolina and the commanding gen­eral
of the post commended the men
very highly on this accomplishment.
After accustoming themselves to
getting up at 5:45 in the morning,
the first week was spent in map
drawing, and making practical ap­plication
of the well known articles
written in the Infantry Drill Regula­tions.
The second week was spent on the
range, the men leaving early every
morning and returning to the bar­racks
at night. Several of the Au­burn
men qualified as marksmen and
one man missed expert by just a few
points, qualifying as sharpshooter.
The third week found the men well
seasoned in the art of trench dig­ging
and laying barbed wire en­tanglements.
The fourth week the
boys took a week's hike covering the
entire distance of 17 miles in one
day, leaving the barracks about 7
o'clock in the morning and reaching
their destination about 3:30 o'clock
in the afternoon. Several men drop­ped
out due to the excessive heat
and the abundance of sand.
One of the most unsatisfactory
elements in the camp life was the
kitchen police duty, and to hear
some boys talk one would think they
did the major portion of the work.
Keen rivalry existed between the
Field Artillery and the Engineer R.
O. T. C. and whenever one unit
emerged the victor in a game over
the other, the losers wouldn't let the
winners rest until they had their
sweet revenge. The engineers won
boseball games from the crack Fifth
Field Artillery; and the Ordnance
Company.
The sergeant's whistle proved the
biggest barrier to the happiness and
pleasure of the boys, but as the
months pass on the men can look
back in the past with pride and re­gard
<he summer's camp as well

Tiger Coaching Staff
Coach Morey, Head Coach
BRIEF HISTORY OF OUR
COACHES AND THEIR WORK
Coach "Dave" Morey begins his
first year at the helm of Tiger foot­ball
affairs when school opens this
year. Coach Morey comes to the
Plains after having spent five years
at Middlebury where he made an en­viable
record as a coach. He will
also be head coach of baseball. -
Coach Morey starred on Major
Cavanaugh's Dartmouth team and
won for himself an All-American
berth at a backfield position on Wal­ter
Camp's All-American selection.
During his five years at Middlebury
Coach Morey's teams have not been
defeated by teams from colleges of
the same rating as Middlebury. With
an enrollment of five hundred at the
northern institution the new Tiger
mentor bucked the leading teams of
the east and come through with a
Lion's share of victories.
In 1924 his team with a backfield
averaging one hundred and forty
pounds tied the Mighty Harvard team
6-6. The past season the Vermonters

kicking on the first day out. He
added that not much could be noted

there were some individuals that look­ed

take care of the kicking in fair shape.
Information from New England,
where Coach Morey's Middlebury

six or eight years indicate that the
new mentor will go strong in th
kicking department and will strive
to be ready to boot the ball out of

most noted athletes, being a
four letter man, as well as being

1 Coach "Red" Brown. These were
i the first to get the call, and when
practice begins in earnest indications
are that the total will be swelled to
at least one hundred twenty-five men
who will don the moleskins to scrap
it out for berths on Auburn's "rat
varsity."
Half of these huskies who will
fight it out for the opportunity to
defend the goal posts of their newly
acquired Alma Mater, come to the
Plains with previous experience at
many of the high schools of the state
and southland. Coach Brown seems
well pleased with the material at
hand and the prospects for develop­ment
of a winning combination.
The sorrel-topped tutor has let it
be distinctly understood that at pres­ent
there are no "leading candidates."
During the next two weeks the kinks
and sore spots should be ironed out
and the future Tiger Bambinoes will
begin to take their berths. Mean­while

lead all eastern teams in scoring with
a total of two hundred and thirty-one
points. Middlebury ran up a 74 to 6
victory over the strong Trinity outfit
and held Harvard to a 16-6 score.
Coach Morey was signed to assist ,
Knute Rockne at Notre Dame in 1920
but had the misfortune of breaking
his leg while playing baseball in the
American Association. The followir
season he took .over the reigns atl
Middlebury from which place he
comes to Auburn.
Coach "Boozer" Pitts, assistant
football coach, began coaching Tiger
teams in 1920, as assistant to Coach
Mike Donahue. He filled this posit­ion
until 1923 when he filled the
place of head coach caused by the
resignation of Coach Donahue.
Coach Pitts' career began at Au­burn
in 1911, when he starred at the
pivot position for the following three
years and was picked for the All-Sou­thern
teams in 1913 and.1914. His
record has gone down in southern
football annals as one hard to equal
and impossible to surpass.
In 1915 and 16 he served as head
Tech High School in Atlanta and foot­ball
coach also. It was here that his
coaching career began to take on pro­portions
as his teams won the State
Prep Championship two years without
tasting a single defeat.
He resigned his post at Tech Hi
and answered the call to the colors
in 1917. He was commissioned a
second lieutenant and assigned to the
334th Field Artillery. He served
overseas with this organization and
made an enviable record as a soldier.
Coach Wilbur Hutsell, who will
have charge of the Orange and Blue
Track Teams, returns this year as
head coach. Coach Hutsell has been
connected with athletics at Auburn
since the fall of 1921.
Last year Coach Hutsell turned out
one of the greatest track teams in
the south. Since coming to Auburn
he has succeeded in placing our
track teams in the ranks of the Sou­thern
Inter-Collegiate Association. ..
With wealth of material to pick
from this year Coach Hutsell gives
promise of developing a corps of
crack men that will excel ~a-i;,y in the
history of the institution. —' -
Coach Hutsell is an Alumnus of
the University of Missouri, where he
starred on the cinderpaths.
Coach A. P. "Mike" Papke comes
to the village from Middlebury where
he played at"~"the' •quarterback • post. -
Coach Morey. He graduated—.
in Middlebury last fall and comes
in excellent playing record. He has
been a mainstay on the.Middlebury
team for the four years 1921-22-23,
and 24. From the quarterback star
tion Coach Papke heaved 61 passes
aut of 83 attempts'.
In addition to his football activities
he was captain and shortstop on the
Middlebury team. He was awarded
four letters in baseball.
Coach Papke's home is in Milwau­kee,
Wisconsin.
Coach R. C. "Red" Brown makes
his initial bow on the Plains this year
as head coach of Freshman football
and baseball. Coach Brown has the
distinction of being one of the few
men to win letters at both state insti­tutions,
The University of Alabama
and Auburn. He attended the UniT
versity^.of Alabama three years where
he starred in baseball, football and
basketball. After leaving the Uni­versity
Coach Brown coached athle­tics
at Ensley High School where his
team went into the final game to de­cide
the State Championship.
Coach Brown entered Auburn in
1919, and in 1920 won leters in the .
three sports that he had starred in at
the Capstone. He graduated from
Auburn in 1921 and took charge of
.athletics at Andalusia High School
turning out winning teams in base­ball
and football. From Andalusia
he went to Sidney Lanier where his
team went through an undefeated
season.
Coach Brown succeeds Kirk Newell
who has been coach of Freshmen_
teams for four years. Coach Ne-wells
business connections prevent his
continuing at the head of rodent ath­letics

shells in the Ordnance De­partment
of the Army for two yens.
Since then he has spent three years
in research work for the Westing-house
Electric Company and Gurtner
& Sons.
Dr. Miller's work will be in con­nection
with the joint project of the
Alabama Experiment Station and the
Alabama Power Company with a view
to carrying hydro-electricity to the
farmers of Alabama.
Prof. G. D. Sturkie has been added
to the teaching staff as instructor in
soils and feild crops.
Prof. Sturkie graduated at Auburn
in 1920. From 1920 to 1922 he was

after which he was a student at the
Iowa State„.College where he received
his M. S. degree in 1923. He was
instructor at Clemson College from
1923 until he began work in Auburn.
Very few changes have been made
in the Extension Service staff. Miss
Gladys Tappan, district home demon­stration
agent in the Black Belt,
resigned to enter the University of
ed by Miss Elizabeth Forney who had
worked in Lauderdale, Marshall, and
Lee Counties as county home demon­stration
agent. Miss Forney came to
Alabama from South Carolina. She
was educated in the public schools,
high schools, and colleges of that
State.
Four members of the 1924 class
have been retained by the Institution.
W. A. Young is assistant agricultural
editor, and E. E. Hale has been re­tained

in entomology, devoting most of his
time to the boll weevil.
W. H. Weidenbach is secretary in
the office of the dean of agriculture,
taking the place of Herman Trapp
who resigned to engage in the ginning
business in Tennessee.
NEW MEN ADDED TO
EXPERIMENT STATION
Beginning at once eight lines of
research work will be conducted by
the Experiment Station of the Alaba
ma Polytechnic Institute as a result
of the Purnell Bill which was passed
by the last Congress, appropriating
additional funds for agricultural ex­periment
stations.
Plans have\been in the making" for
several weeks with a view to starting
these projects. Ax official announce
ment has,!»een made by Prof. M. J.
Funche^s, dean and director, that
additions- to the research staff have
been ljjade, and additional laborato­ries
ag& laboratory equipment install-
Jrth which the work is in progress.
Dr. Georgia Winifred Burton, the
first woman to devote full time on
the staff of the Alabama Experiment
Station, is starting research work in
nutrition. She will make a special
study of the vitamin contents of
foods commonly used in Alabama.
A foods laboratory is being equipped
in a residence near the Agricultural
Building an'd in this laboratory Miss
Burton will do her work.

HL D* Mims, Prop*
who has been working for some time
on animal nutrition problems, will be­gin
a study of the effects of minerals
on the growth and nutrition of ani­mals.
Mr. Salmon and Miss Burton
will work in connecting laboratories.
Dr. W. D. Kimbrough, who was
recently added to the Experiment
Station staff, will make a special
study of the effects of fertilizers on
the yield, quality, and carrying capac­ity
of the more important vegetables,
and also strawberrys and watermel­ons.
Over 200 plants will be includ­ed
in his study.
* Dr. Kimbrough will also make a
study of the rotation of garden crops
or vegetables in an effort to find a
way to control nematodes, since nem­atode
injury is becoming of greater
economic importance annually.
Prof. John E. Ivey, head of the
poultry department, will study the
possibility of substituting vegetable
protein for animal protein in the ra­tion
of poultry.
This study is of special interest in
this State since Alabama produce*
annually a great quantity of protein
in cotton seed.
Dr. W. H. Pierre, who is also a
new addition to the Experiment Sta­tion
staff, will study the effects on
soil acidity of nitrate of soda, sul­phate
of ammonia, urea, and Leuna-salpeter.
This research is striking at
the very bottom of the great commer­cial
fertilizer problem which amounts
to $12,000,000 to $15,000,000 an­nually
in Alabama. Dr. Pierre will
limit his work to cotton.
W. H. Appleton will make a study
of the effects of fertilizers and lime
applied, to uplands used for pastures.
The lowland pasture problem is fairly
well worked out and Mr. Appleton
will endeavor to find how to make
good upland pastures. He will use
legumes and grasses in combination
and also alone.
Another study by Mr. Appleton will
be one to determine the fertilizer
values of hairy vetch when turned
under at different stages of jjvo'wtJi.
Prof. Funchess said tnat all of this
work will be done in laboratories and
also in experimental plots at Auburn.
In this way field and laboratory work
will go forward together.
INFORMATION OF INTER­EST
TO STUDENTS
IN THE PARK
By Don Qui
Now as the sunset fades I walk alone,
. Unsought, unknown,
By crowds that hurry past,
My mind weighed down with foolish
dreams,
Oh, senseless schemes!
Until I see at last
That memories of days gone by
Have brought me to the spot
where I
Last saw your face—
Oh, holy place!
The faintest strains of music o'er the
lake
Dim memories wake
Of perfect moments here,
And from a garden in the distance
there,
Borne in the air,
A fragrance, sweet and dear
But though I wrack my foolish
mind,
One thing is gone from 'auld Iang
syne',
And that's your name—
Oh, what a shame!
