VOL. XXVII. AUBURN, ALABAMA, FRIDAY MARCH 14, 1924. No. 22 TIGERS TOSSERS TEE OFF FRIDAY Open 1924 Season With Howard Bulldogs The grass is getting greener; trees are putting out their buds; students are beginning to think of summer jobs; or in other words, Spring has arrived and with it comes King Baseball. All thoughts of Basketball, Spring Football, and other sports are put aside and everyone joins in homage to the American Game. The mind of the student has changed from drop-kicks and foul goals to strike-outs and home runs. On Friday the Howard aggregation of ball tossers invade the Village of the Plains for the first game of the season, and the studes will hear the joyful sound of bat meeting ball, and give vent from time tc time to such warlike cries as "Kill the Umpire," etc. The question in which the student is most interested just now is, "What kind of a team are we going to have represent us this year?" We believe that it Will be a team worthy of the honor of representing Auburn. First, there is a snappy infield composed of Fancher, Griffin, Allen and- Stewart at first, second, short and third, respectively. Jo Harrison and Maury will hold forth in center and left field, with Self, Roberts, Willingham and Ar-go ready and willing to occupy any infield or outfield position that may be vacant. The Knights of the Chest Protector will be Pete Davis and Sitz, the latter a reformed outfielder. To Sheridan will go the main pitching burden, but he will have some valuable assistance from Messrs. Knight, Market, Crump, Phillips and Hines. Although there are few veterans on the nine, and notwithstanding the hard schedule ahead of them, the Tigers give promise of developing into a strong team, and there is every prospect of there being plenty of work in store for the teams that are scheduled to meet the 1924 Tigers. INTER-FRAT TRACK MEET MARCH 17th The annual Inter-Fraternity track and field meet will be held on Drake Field, beginning Monday March 17th, and ending Saturday March 22nd. This meet will be open to all active members of fraternities and maintaining a chapter house. A special silver loving cup will be awarded the winning fraternity, to be held by them for one year. It will become the permanent property of the team winning twice. The following events will be contested: 70 yards dash; 1-5 mile run; running high-jump; shot putt; and running broad jump. Each fraternity will be permitted to enter as many men in each event as they wish. The individual record of each man competing will be taken. The record of the five men of each fraternity in each event will be the record of that fraternity. All entrants may take two trials in each event —two trials in each run, two trials of six putts each in the shot, etc. Trials may be taken any time during the week. SCORING: The fraternity with the best tecord in each event) will (Continued on Page 4) Pistol Team Wins From Princeton H I ) i Auburn's pistol team defeated the pistol team of Princeton University by score of 1246 to 1206. These scores were made out of a possible 1400. The team consists of ten men and all ten turned in .good scores, however W. B. Wood >was the high scorer of the ten, turning in a score of 263 out of a possible 280. About thirty challenges have been sent out to the various colleges over the country but so far only a few have accepted. The matches for month of April include Oregon, Wisconsin, Iowa, and the United States Military Academy. Auburn's team is one of the best in the country and other teams are a little shy of accepting challenges on this account. WALLACE WIcKINNtY 10 LtAU 1H2& UAUtSftKS At a meeting of the varsity basket- ball men Saturday night, Wallace McKinney, of Mobile, was elect-as captain of the 1925 team, and Earl Barks of Birmingham was elected as manager. McKinney has just completed his third season of the team, having made a regular position his freshman year at Auburn, and has been a star as a guard in each of the successive seasons. Barks also plays a guard position, and .will be a member of the senior class next year. Seven members of the 1924 team were awarded their numerals at the meeting, these being; Captian Hahn Captain elect W. McKinney, Harrison, Duke, Creel, Barks and B. McKinney. Of the present squad, four of the regulars, Hahn, Duke, Harrison and Creel will be missing when the next season rolls round. This will be a heavy loss, as three of the list have been regulars for the past thrsa campaigns. Six men of the '23 squad will return, which includes, W. McKinney, B. McKinney, Barks, Gray, Midgette and Evans. Three of this number are letter men. Some promising material will be available from the freshman squad of this year among which is a few six-foot additions, and this is one thing that has been scarce on the 'liger cage team for the past few seasons. H. McKinney, brother of thi» two present McKinney mem bers of the team, Hall Cummins, Long, Arnall, Pruitt and Allison are all promising candidates for the team of 1925. CLASS DAY EXERCISES DATE CHAHGED At the Senior Class meeting held Tuesday, March 11, in the auditorium of the Engineering Building it was decided to change the time of the Class Day exercises from a March date to a time during Commencement. It has been a custom of long standing for the seniors to hold their class exercises several months prior to graduation, but the plan has not been considered entirely satisfactory. It is pointed out that the change of dates will more concentrate the interest in the class by having all of it's programs at approximately the same time when relatives and other friends of the Seniors may find it more feasible to attend. The date suggested for the Class (Continued on Page 4) GIBSON SIGNS WITH ATHLETICS Popular Player Reported To Mackmen Thursday Another interesting event to the followers of Auburn sports, was the announcement carried in the sporting pages of the dailies, that Charlie Gibson had affixed his signature to a contract of the tribe of Connie Mack. For the past three years "Gippy" has been doing the regular backstopping on the Tiger baseball team and served a couple of seasons as quarterback on the Plainsman football machine. Gibson's ability to stop them in the pit, cut them down On the paths and to whale the old horse-hide far and often attracted the "ivory hunters" to such an extent, that for the past two seasons they have been angling for his services. Due to the pursuing of his course in college, Gibson turned' a deaf ear to the siren voices of the Big Show representatives. On account of his playing semi-pro ball in South Georgia last summer Charlie was ruled ineligible to play in inter- collegiate games and so he at last decided to try his hand in the ranks of the professionals. Many are predicting the success of the former Tiger star in fast company, and thousands of Auburn friends are pulling for him to make good. The signing of Gibson gives the famous team of 1921 a record for other college teams to shoot at, as Charlie is the eighth of their number to go to fast company on their departure from Auburn. These include: Ollinger, Grant and Johnson, pitchers; Gibson, catcher; Barnes, Fulghum and Richardson, infielders, and Sherling, outfielder. Of these, seven reported to Big League teams, and the eighth to Toronto, an International league aggregation. THE SEASON'S TRACK PROSPECTS BRIGHT Track prospects, taken as a whole are better than at any time for the past several years at Auburn. Only three of last year's heavy scorers are missing from the squad, these being Grisham and Stallings who scored first and second in both the dual meets a year ago; und Rush, point winner in both fhe half mile and mile in 1923. For the sprints this season, Martin, Crane and Goodwin are on hand, with Snapp, Creel, Coleman and Meiggs to do the middle distances. Stockleberg, Boyd, Belcher, Reeves, Mcintosh and Lee are a sex-tetrof good distance men and this leads the list in number of competitors. For the hurdles, Marquis, Young and Crane are in line and Lock, Marquis and Scott make up the trio of high-jumpers. Captain Pippin leads the list for the broad jump and has a worthy running mate in Pea Green, of last season's football team. Lock and Marquis will look after the pole vault and for the weights, White, Mosley, Campbell, Midgette, Sitz and Couch are having a merry contest. Ollinger, Green and Scott complete the squad and are the boys who are tossing the Javelin. Stockleberg's 432:2 5 is the Auburn record for the mile and the rangy lad looks to be a conference contender this time. Boyd is another distance man who has been a consistent point winner for the (Continued on Page 4) WMAV BROADCASTS GOOD PROGRAMS Regular Musical Concerts uven tin inursuays Auburn can now boast of having one of the most powerful and best broadcasting stations in the South. Appropriations for the construction of the station, WMAV, were made during tne Auburn Drive by the Birmingham News and the set was designed and built by the radio facul It was operated successfully last year, with, musical programs, mar- Jiet and weather reports being broadcast regularly. During the first semester of this session only iootball games were broadcast but beginning about the first of the second semester, WMAV has been broadcasting a regular schedule of programs. On every Thursday evening a musical program is rendered which consists of orchestra selections, vocal and instrumental solos, witu frequent variations aud occasionally a short talk. On Saturday evenings a program is run which is of special benefit to the farmers, talks on agricultural subjects being made by faculty members of that department of the college. A formal opening and dedication of the station was held on the evening of February 21. Speeches were made by Victor Hanson, Governor Brandon and President Dowell, and. music for the occasion was rendered by the A. P. I. Serenaders. On last Wednesday evening the annual home entertainment of the Auburn Glee Club was broadcast and on Thursday evening a musical program was given by the negroes from Tuskeegee Normal and Industrial Institute. Dr. R. R. Moton, president of the Institute also made a talk. The work this year of the Broadcasting Station has been very successful. Hundreds of complimentary cards and letters have been received from all parts of the country from Oregon to Maine. The set is still being improved day by day and is fast becoming the very best in this section of the country. For the benefit of those who have receiving stations it may be said that the schedule is 8 P. M. Thursdays and Saturdays, and that the power is 500 to 700 watts, and the wave length is 250 meters. RECEPTION GIVEN AT PRACTICE HOME Auburn's Model Practice Home was thrown open Friday evening and a lovely reception was given to the members of the faculty and their wives. The eight seniors in home economics, who are living at the home and who had made the preparations for the reception, made up the receiving and entertaining committee. They were assisted by Misses Agnes Ellen Harris, Dana Gatchell and Henrietta Thompson, who served the delightful refreshments, which included cream puffs with whipped cream and fruit. Much credit must be given to the promoters and operators of the new Practice Home, while the home does not appear to be anything out of the ordinary to the casual.observer from the outside, but one ghince at the inside, with its neatly kept and delightfully arranged household furnishings, is enough (Continued on Page 4) Garrard Harris To Speak in Auburn Mar. 18 Garrard Harris, associate .editor of 'me Birmingham News, and one of the south's best known newspaper editorial writers, will be the guest of - Auburn next Tuesday, March 1.8. Mr. Harris comes under the auspices of the Journalism Department and will speak to ' the class in journalism on editorial writing luesday evening at 6:30. He will also be the convocation speaker at the regular convocation hour, Tuesday 1:00 p. m. Mr. Harris is a loyal and influential friend of Auburn, having contributed many editorials about tne college during the Semi-centennial Campaign, in addition to his other support to the institution. ALUMNi fti RALLY Sitht m APKiL 4m A clarion call for the return of the "old grads' to their alma mater on April 4 has been sounded by Charles F. DeBardeleben, president of the alumni association. On this day all of the Auburn men scattered throughout the southland are urged to assemble at Auburn for a grand get-together rally. According to the announcement, this will be the initial meeting of a series of similar conferences. As a means of notifying the alumni scattered throughout the state of the series of conferences, the 'keymen' in each county will be notified. In order to further notify the alumni of the plan Mr. DeBardeleben has sent out circular letters as follow: "It has occurred to me for sometime that nothing better could be done in the interest, of the Alumni and College at Auburn than to have one or two Alumni Conferences during the college year at Auburn. "At these conferences first hand information can be gathered as to the activities of the School and constructive suggestions and recommendations can be made by the attending Alumni to the President and faculty. "The initial meeting is planned to be held at AUBURN on APRIL 4th, and I earnestly urge you to be present at this meeting and help to perfect plans for a continuance of these conferences. Bring some other Auburn men of your community with you if possible. "I am writing now so as to give you ample time to make your arrangements to be on hand. "Kindly advise me if you will be present." WEBSTERIAN BANQUET VERY ENJOYABLE AFFAIR One of the most enjoyable affairs of the year was that of the Web-sterian Literary Society Banquet which was held at the Tea Room at six o'clock Tuesday night taking the place of the regular meeting of that society. Over thirty of the society members were present at this feast, and judging from the sounds of laughter and the pleased expression on all the intelligent (?) faces everyone thoroughly enjoyed the affair. Several of the most famous speakers of the society made remarkable speeches beginning with "Rat" Frank the "great" humorist. Next was one of our former presidents, (Continued on Page 4) GLEE CLUB GIVES ANNUAL CONCERT Langdon Hall Filled To Overflowing Before a crowded house the Auburn Glee Club gave its annual home concert on Wednesday night. In addition to the vocal entertainment, the instrumental selections by the Mandolin Club and the jazz music by the Orchestra made the performance, one of the best that has ever been given here. Judging from the applause, the entire program was heartily enjoyed by all present and, the encores giy-en were equally as good as the listed numbers. Perhaps the biggest hits were made by the specials of the Glee Club, by Mr. F. H. Boyd with his piano selections, the medleys of the Mandolin Club, and the lively dance music of the Orchestra. First on the program were three choruses by the Glee Club in unison : "Soldiers of Freedom," "Songs My Mother Taught Me," and "'Tis Morn." These received a hearty applause that was" well deserved. Next in order came "The Trumpeter," a vocal solo by M. G. Smith. The singer was encored several times and for one of his encores he sang, "When I'm With You." Mr. Smith has a wonderful voice, being a first basso, and will no doubt be one of the leading attractions in the Club's road trip. A quartette, composed of Messrs. Tyler, first tenor, Cathcart, second tenor, Collins, first bass, and Johnson, second bass, gave several selections, among them being "Drink to Me Only with Thine Eyes" and "The Bells of Shandon." These were followed by several piano solos from F. H. Boyd, who led off with "2nd Mazurka," but was encored three or four times. Each time it seemed that his music became better and better. Three selections were then given by the Glee Club: "Watchman! What of the Night," "When the Roses Bloom," and "The Song of the Anvil." All of these were exception-- ally good and showed careful work on the part of the director. The Mandolin Club, which fol- (Continued on Page 4) SPLENDID PROGRAM BY WILSONIAN SOCIETY At the regular weekly meeting of the Wilsonian Literary Society on last Tuesday Night, although the weather prohibited a large crowd from coming out, there were at least forty-five or fifty present. But they made up in spirit and enthusiasm what they lacked in numbers and were treated with one of the very best programs that have been rendered at the Wilsonian since its organization. The program given was an excellent combination of biography, elocution, witticisms, adventure and humorous selections, and each person who took part in it showed both talent and preparation. Miss Jimmie Lee Smith beg the program with the biography of Alice Freeman Palmer. This was followed with a humorous reading, "Tit-for-Tat," by Miss Sudie Dow-dell. Both of these were given in such a way that the members of the society were highly entertained ani at the same time received interest ing information. "My First Kissj was given by S. O.

SPIRIT OF UNREST Recently the question has been much discussed regarding the stress given to athletics in colleges. The 'spirit of unrest that is said to exist in some of the colleges has been, in part, attributed over-emphasis placed on athletic sports. That a spirit of unrest has prevailed among the Auburn students for some time is very evident and the question naturally arises, whether or not this is due to too much sports. A somewhat careful summing up of the situation at Auburn seems to point to the fact that a reverse condition exists, as it appears that the athletic scope in the Village of the Plains is far too small. While it is true that great bursts of enthus* iasm are constantly being displayed during the football season, and if a championship is probable, spirit almost runs riot, but this appears to be the result of circumstances that could easily be remedied. We do not maintain that there is any need for greater interest in football, baseball and other forms of intercollegiate contests that are being indulged in at present. It might be a good policy to place stress on some of these and branch out more in other forms, as tennis, lacrosse, etc., but what seems to be one of Auburn's greatest needs at present is athletics for every student who desires to participate in them. To have this means much expansion in the line of athletic fields, but with an abundance of vacant lots, fields, etc., that are so common around the Village it does seem that no great effort would be required and only a comparatively small expense would be necessary to meet the demands for places for pleasant and wholesome recreation that every Auburn student could enjoy. / The present day youth is an enthusiast by nature and even as the youths in the generations of the past. It being an age of athletics, the average student desires to participate in some form of sports as a means of recreation, but with such cramped conditions (one football field, one baseball diamond, etc.) as exist at present this is impossible. Very little interest can be had in intramural athletics on account of there being no place available for the contests. Of the thirteen hundred youths who are enrolled in the A. P. I., some seventy- five percent took part in some form of inter-scholastic games before entering college. Many of these came to college with some hopes of "making a team" before completing their college course, but they find that if they are not well developed athletes upon entrance there is little chance of realizing this ambition. Being crowded out in the first few days of practice is disheartening to a candidate for next year where more athletic fields are available. This is not a plea for more pleasure and less work in the college course. It has long since been proven that restraint does not make good students. Discipline is necessary, but this appears far easier for the busy minds and the best solution to the problem of restlessness seems to be the giving of free access to plenty of wholesome sport and making the classroom work come up to a higher standard. If there is plenty of things available that are of interest to the students they will gladly put forth the effort required to remain in good scholastic standard, and much, of the unrest will disappear. HARE ADVOCATES STUDENT COACHES any team and this is one of the chief disseminators of unrest at Auburn. Only the other day two students were heard to say that they were planning to go to school Professor C. L. Hare, when interviewed, seemed very enthusiastic regarding his recent proposal to the executive committee of the Southern Conference, regarding the adoption of a system whereby student coaches would direct the teams participating in inter-collegiate games. According to this plan, one or more specialized coaches would be necessary, according to the size of the enrollment of the college, whose duties would be to instruct the student coaches and to be responsible for the discipline of the teams. A few of the interesting points as made in the proposal are: After a term of years (say after 1928) the duties of all paid coaches at Conference institutions shall be confined to the development of mass athletics for the entire student body. All teams engaging in intercollegiate contests shall be coached by students alone, with a corps of strategists and assistants made up of players and others familiar with the sport. Viewed from the standpoint of the student, would it not be vastly to his advantage, would not the student coaching staff be on their metal, and use their brains in devising tactics and strategy as they never do under the present system? A team, the creature of the brain, as well as the brawn, of the student body itself would be truly representative of its* college, it would be its very own. The necessity of planning for a season's campaign, and for future years, would' lay upon the student body such responsibility that would develop mental alertness to an extent now impossible. Several other important points were included in the proposal but lack of space prevents their use in this issue. Professor Hare explained that this wns not a move against the salaried coach but that it could be made a system whereby the teaching forces and coaches would be paid on a more equal basis. This last point has become a 'bone" of much contention in colleges during the past few years. When presented to the committee in Atlanta, last week, the plan met with considerable comment, both pro and con. Being of such a revolutionary nature, it will take some time for the consideration of such a plan. At least it has several good as well as bad features and it will be interesting to see how it will be taken after more time and thought is given to it by the committee. INTERFRATERNITY COUNCIL ADOPTS RULES CONCERNING COMING TOURNAMENT The Interfraternity Council met idonday night, March 10, and adopted rules and regulations to govern i t s first annual tournament in uaseball, tennis and golf.

MICHAEL FARADAY 1791-1867 Apprentice to an English bookbinder. Attracted the attention of Sir Humphrey Davy, becoming his assistant. "The greatest experimentalist of all times," says one biographer. The electrical unit Farad was named for him. I n 1880 the Edison Electric Illuminating Company, of New York City, installed a generator of 1200 lamps capacity, then considered a giant. By continuous experimentation and re-s e a r c h the General Electric Company has developed generators 900 times as powerful as this wonder of forty years ago. " What's the use of itr Michael Faraday saw the real beginning of the age of electricity nearly a century ago when he thrust a bar magnet into a coil of wire connected with a galvanometer and made the needle swing. Gladstone, watching Faraday at work in his laboratory, asked, "What's the use of it?" The experimenter jestingly replied, "There is every probability that you will soon be able to tax i t" The world-wide use of electricity that has followed the Faraday discovery abundantly justifies the retort to Gladstone. Faraday's theory of lines of force is constantly applied in the Research Laboratories of the General Electric Company in devising new electrical apparatus of which Faraday never dreamed. Every generator and motor is an elaboration of the simple instruments with which he first discovered and explained induction. GENERAL ELECTRIC THE PLAINSMAN -TF es He looked at her. She was his idol.

Five representatives of the Auburn YMCA attended a Bible Study Leaders' Institute which was held at the University of Alabama last Friday, Saturday and Sunday. Those attending were, Prof. W. H. Eaton, L. H. Tapscott, W. A. Young, C. H. Turk and W. E. Glenn. This Institute was held under the auspices of the University YMCA. The leader was Dr. A. Bruce Curry of the Bible Institute of New York.City who is one of the leading men in the field of Bible Study in America. The Institute was held for the students of Alabama, Mississippi and Louisiana, with approximately fifty attending. Six sessions were held, each lasting about two hours, the last being held on Sunday afternoon. Those who attended were cared for-by the Y. M. C. A. in the dormitories and fraternity houses on the campus. Dr. Curry brought the charge that people of today live according to personal opinions and forget, what the real religion of Jesus Christ is. His great desire is to help American students understand that the Bible is a book dealing with life at its best and not one to be read as a treatise of history or anything else, although it does have that in-it. It discloses the great life of Christ and if one is willing to study it thoroughly he may re-discover what the Master Teacher came to give us. He urged that, as students become dissatisfied with modern man-made religion they should go back to the beginnings of Christianity for a pure conception of what it should be.

The charter members of the organization are: Chloe Earnest, Ruth Earnest, Dorothy Duggar, Clara El len Yarbrough, Osie Hagerman, Bill Wood, and Emily Hare. The purpose of the club as set forth in the constitution is: "to encourage original composition, self-expression, and frank criticism among the members." Any student of the Alabama Polytechnic Jnstitute is eligible for membership into the "Pen Pushers." A person desiring admittance must present some original composition to the club, which will be voted on, and if it is accepted he will be allowed to join.

"The Military Department regrets exceedingly that it is forced to limit the number of people granted these privileges, and trusts that an understanding of the situation will prevent any feeling of dissatisfaction. The Department has been guided in its decision to limit the list to advanced course students of the Field Artillery Unity by the fact that the horses were sent to Auburn for the use of the Field Artillery. At present there are only forty seven government horses here for the use of 107 seniors and juniors of Field Ar tillery."' The following regulations gover>* ing privilege riding are effective at once, and all previous notices on the subject are hereby revoked: (1) All students granted riding privileges will be listed and assign ed horses. This list will be posted on the bullentin board at the Stables, and no departure therefrom will be permitted. (2) Under no circumstances will a student allow-any one to mount the horse for which he signs up Horses will not be galloped within two miles of stables. Lack of care or abuse of animals will result in suspension of privileges. (3) Horses may be taken from stables between the hours of 1:30 and 2:00 P. M. on Wednesdays, Saturdays, and Sundays. Horses must be returned by 5:00 P. M. Horses will be walked the first ten minutes out of the stables and the last ten minutes back, and at such intervals as will prevent distress or excessive fatigue to animals. (4) Any student granted riding privileges may be authorized to take out an extra horse for a lady upon WRITTEN ORDER from LIEUTENANT JONES. The extra horse will be assigned by the N. C. O. at the stables. (5) In the event that two or more persons desire use of same horse, if all interested are at stables at 1 = 30 P. M., horse will be assigned in the following order: to a senior; to a junior; as an extra horse for a senior; as an extra horse for a junior If all those interested are not at stables by 1:30 P. M., horse will be assigned according to hour of arrival. The assignment of the N. C. O. in charge of stables will be final. (6) Students taking advantage of riding privileges will sign up for animals at the time same are taken out. John E. Hatch, Major, F. A. (DOL) Commandant.

It was a representation of "Life as it Seldom is." R. U. Staton ventured forth with some current events that involved everything from the time of the ancient Gieeks to recent happenings in Auburn. And Freshman R. Johnson concluded the program with a few jokes that "made" some of the members present in grand style. On the whole it was one of the n-.ost successful meetings that the society has ever held and if the standard set up by this program is kepi up during the whole semester, it may be depnded upon that this year will be one of the best that the society has ever had. GLEE CLUB GIVES ANNUAL CONCERT (Continued from Page 1) lowed with a medley, was applauded so heartily that it seemed as if the. audience would never allow them to get away. They were call ed back five or six times and in their encores "Down on the Farnr and the medley of college songs ending with "Glory to Old Auburn were among the best. S. C. Zeigler, star soloist for the Club, rendered several selections which were greeted with an enthusiastic re ception from the audience; the first of these was "Our Yesterdays," and the second was "Forever," the words and music to which were composed by W. T. Wood of the Senior Class. "Bill" accompanied him on the piano. After three more excellent selec tions by the Glee Club in chorus, "Tommy" Jones and his six-piece orchestra held the center of attraction for twenty or. thirty minutes, From the quality of the music they gave and the tone of the reception with which it was heard by the audience it may be judged that Au burn, has an orchestra that will compare favorably with any in the South. And Mr. Jones is to be congratulated for his work in organ izing and directing it. The music given by these six men was con sidered one of the biggest hits of "the entire performance. They are T. W. Jones, trombone and director; F. H. Boyd, piano; Paul Fon tille, saxaphone and violin; R. D. Yarbrough, saxaphone; G. H. Man dy, drums, and R. L. Simpson, banjo. W. M. Anderson, first tenor, with the Glee Club quartette, sang "Pic anniny Snuggle Song," and when encored gave a yodeling solo, "Sleep, Baby Sleep." The concluding numbers of the night's per formance were the "A. P. I. Loyalty Song" and the new "Alma Mat er", composed by Bill Wood. When the new college hymn was sung the entire audience rose to its feet in reverence, and this was the first time in the history of the institu tion that such a thing has happened. It made a thrill run through the students to feel that Auburn now has an Alma Mater that is as beautiful as any in the country. On Friday, the Glee Club, together with the Mandolin Club and the Orchestra, left on its ten day trip to South Alabama. Several performances will be given on the trip and there is no doubt that if they make as creditable showing as they did before the Opelika audience on Tuesday and the Auburn audience on Wednesday, they will meet with success wherever .they go. P. R. Bidez deserves the commendation of the whole college for his splendid work in directing the Club. INTER-FRAT TRACK MEET MARCH 17th (Continued from Page 1) be given one point; tenth best, ten points, etc. The team with the lowest number of points for the five events will be awarded the loving cup. (Sample scoring—if each of the five best men of a fraternity jump five feet, their record will be twenty-five feet.) Each fraternity desiring to enter-is expected to file a list of members with the Games Committee, or Coach Hutsell, on or before Saturday March 15th. CLASS DAY EXERCISES DATE CHANGED (Continued from Page 1) Day exercises is Monday night, May 19—preceding the Graduation exercises on the following Tuesday morning. This hour has previously been given over to the "Festival of Lights," which is the occasion on which the "keys" to the ruling class are given to the officers of the in-coming Senior Class by the officers of the out-going Seniors. THE SEASON'S TRACK PROSPECTS BRIGHT (Continued from Page 1) past two seasons in his two mile jaunts. Reeves and Belcher show ed up well in the cross country meet last fall and bid fair to go well in the spring meets.. "Duke" Marquis was the all-round track star of the team last year and scored eighteen points in one of the dual meets. He does the high and low hurdles, the high and broad jumps and is a good man in the pole vault. Captain Pippin has never failed to go better than twenty-one feet in the broad jump and was second in the conference meet in Montgomery last year. Lock is the best pole vaulter that ever tried his hand at Auburn, and ihc long fellow never reached his real stride until in a meet in Chicago last summer when he cleared the bar at twelve feet. White is making his first try, having been on the freshman team last year, and is going fine with the weights. 01 linger and Greene are putting the javelin around one hundred forty feet in practice, which makes the outlook pleasing . RECEPTION GIVEN AT PRACTICE HOME (Continued from Page 1) to make the most profound bachelor admit his erring judgment. Those who live in the home and to whom must go the big portion of the praise for this elegant household, and also for success of the house warming are: Misses Margaret Wilbur, Millicent Best, Elizabeth Duncan, Lysbeth Fullan, Mary Haine, Lucia Porter, Pearl Jones and Eldora Thurman. WEBSTERIAN BANQUET VERY ENJOYABLE AFFAIR (Continued from Page 1) Mr. R. A. Nunn who flattered the society so mucn until it will take wccits to get back to normal again. After the conclusion of this speech by some mistake a Rat was called upon who deigned to make his talk on the wonderful subject of "Marriage 1'" The talk was nothing excellent in itself but it aroused a subject that continued until the conclusion of the affair. What it was all about was that someone discovered (or thought they did) during the progress of the talk that the speaker was Very much interested in a certain girl and therefore this pointed to his chosing the aforesaid subject. Several other real good talks were made by various members of the society with subjects ranging from Florida to steam turbines. Mr. K. W. Grimley, the able president of the society acted as tost-tnaster for the occasion and presided in a fine manner. The thanks of the society is due Mr. Kernodle who rendered several beautiful selections on the piano. Everyone departed from the ban quet voting it one of the most successful banquets that they had ever had the pleasure of attending. This was the first annual banquet of the society but it is to be an annual affair hereafter, this being decided at the last meeting. The society has had a highly successful year, launching three new enterprises in literary societies during the past few months which were the holding of Jhe first social affairs, a weenie roast and a banquet, that have ever been held by_ any society, and the is uance of a society paper.

OCR Transcript | VOL. XXVII. AUBURN, ALABAMA, FRIDAY MARCH 14, 1924. No. 22 TIGERS TOSSERS TEE OFF FRIDAY Open 1924 Season With Howard Bulldogs The grass is getting greener; trees are putting out their buds; students are beginning to think of summer jobs; or in other words, Spring has arrived and with it comes King Baseball. All thoughts of Basketball, Spring Football, and other sports are put aside and everyone joins in homage to the American Game. The mind of the student has changed from drop-kicks and foul goals to strike-outs and home runs. On Friday the Howard aggregation of ball tossers invade the Village of the Plains for the first game of the season, and the studes will hear the joyful sound of bat meeting ball, and give vent from time tc time to such warlike cries as "Kill the Umpire," etc. The question in which the student is most interested just now is, "What kind of a team are we going to have represent us this year?" We believe that it Will be a team worthy of the honor of representing Auburn. First, there is a snappy infield composed of Fancher, Griffin, Allen and- Stewart at first, second, short and third, respectively. Jo Harrison and Maury will hold forth in center and left field, with Self, Roberts, Willingham and Ar-go ready and willing to occupy any infield or outfield position that may be vacant. The Knights of the Chest Protector will be Pete Davis and Sitz, the latter a reformed outfielder. To Sheridan will go the main pitching burden, but he will have some valuable assistance from Messrs. Knight, Market, Crump, Phillips and Hines. Although there are few veterans on the nine, and notwithstanding the hard schedule ahead of them, the Tigers give promise of developing into a strong team, and there is every prospect of there being plenty of work in store for the teams that are scheduled to meet the 1924 Tigers. INTER-FRAT TRACK MEET MARCH 17th The annual Inter-Fraternity track and field meet will be held on Drake Field, beginning Monday March 17th, and ending Saturday March 22nd. This meet will be open to all active members of fraternities and maintaining a chapter house. A special silver loving cup will be awarded the winning fraternity, to be held by them for one year. It will become the permanent property of the team winning twice. The following events will be contested: 70 yards dash; 1-5 mile run; running high-jump; shot putt; and running broad jump. Each fraternity will be permitted to enter as many men in each event as they wish. The individual record of each man competing will be taken. The record of the five men of each fraternity in each event will be the record of that fraternity. All entrants may take two trials in each event —two trials in each run, two trials of six putts each in the shot, etc. Trials may be taken any time during the week. SCORING: The fraternity with the best tecord in each event) will (Continued on Page 4) Pistol Team Wins From Princeton H I ) i Auburn's pistol team defeated the pistol team of Princeton University by score of 1246 to 1206. These scores were made out of a possible 1400. The team consists of ten men and all ten turned in .good scores, however W. B. Wood >was the high scorer of the ten, turning in a score of 263 out of a possible 280. About thirty challenges have been sent out to the various colleges over the country but so far only a few have accepted. The matches for month of April include Oregon, Wisconsin, Iowa, and the United States Military Academy. Auburn's team is one of the best in the country and other teams are a little shy of accepting challenges on this account. WALLACE WIcKINNtY 10 LtAU 1H2& UAUtSftKS At a meeting of the varsity basket- ball men Saturday night, Wallace McKinney, of Mobile, was elect-as captain of the 1925 team, and Earl Barks of Birmingham was elected as manager. McKinney has just completed his third season of the team, having made a regular position his freshman year at Auburn, and has been a star as a guard in each of the successive seasons. Barks also plays a guard position, and .will be a member of the senior class next year. Seven members of the 1924 team were awarded their numerals at the meeting, these being; Captian Hahn Captain elect W. McKinney, Harrison, Duke, Creel, Barks and B. McKinney. Of the present squad, four of the regulars, Hahn, Duke, Harrison and Creel will be missing when the next season rolls round. This will be a heavy loss, as three of the list have been regulars for the past thrsa campaigns. Six men of the '23 squad will return, which includes, W. McKinney, B. McKinney, Barks, Gray, Midgette and Evans. Three of this number are letter men. Some promising material will be available from the freshman squad of this year among which is a few six-foot additions, and this is one thing that has been scarce on the 'liger cage team for the past few seasons. H. McKinney, brother of thi» two present McKinney mem bers of the team, Hall Cummins, Long, Arnall, Pruitt and Allison are all promising candidates for the team of 1925. CLASS DAY EXERCISES DATE CHAHGED At the Senior Class meeting held Tuesday, March 11, in the auditorium of the Engineering Building it was decided to change the time of the Class Day exercises from a March date to a time during Commencement. It has been a custom of long standing for the seniors to hold their class exercises several months prior to graduation, but the plan has not been considered entirely satisfactory. It is pointed out that the change of dates will more concentrate the interest in the class by having all of it's programs at approximately the same time when relatives and other friends of the Seniors may find it more feasible to attend. The date suggested for the Class (Continued on Page 4) GIBSON SIGNS WITH ATHLETICS Popular Player Reported To Mackmen Thursday Another interesting event to the followers of Auburn sports, was the announcement carried in the sporting pages of the dailies, that Charlie Gibson had affixed his signature to a contract of the tribe of Connie Mack. For the past three years "Gippy" has been doing the regular backstopping on the Tiger baseball team and served a couple of seasons as quarterback on the Plainsman football machine. Gibson's ability to stop them in the pit, cut them down On the paths and to whale the old horse-hide far and often attracted the "ivory hunters" to such an extent, that for the past two seasons they have been angling for his services. Due to the pursuing of his course in college, Gibson turned' a deaf ear to the siren voices of the Big Show representatives. On account of his playing semi-pro ball in South Georgia last summer Charlie was ruled ineligible to play in inter- collegiate games and so he at last decided to try his hand in the ranks of the professionals. Many are predicting the success of the former Tiger star in fast company, and thousands of Auburn friends are pulling for him to make good. The signing of Gibson gives the famous team of 1921 a record for other college teams to shoot at, as Charlie is the eighth of their number to go to fast company on their departure from Auburn. These include: Ollinger, Grant and Johnson, pitchers; Gibson, catcher; Barnes, Fulghum and Richardson, infielders, and Sherling, outfielder. Of these, seven reported to Big League teams, and the eighth to Toronto, an International league aggregation. THE SEASON'S TRACK PROSPECTS BRIGHT Track prospects, taken as a whole are better than at any time for the past several years at Auburn. Only three of last year's heavy scorers are missing from the squad, these being Grisham and Stallings who scored first and second in both the dual meets a year ago; und Rush, point winner in both fhe half mile and mile in 1923. For the sprints this season, Martin, Crane and Goodwin are on hand, with Snapp, Creel, Coleman and Meiggs to do the middle distances. Stockleberg, Boyd, Belcher, Reeves, Mcintosh and Lee are a sex-tetrof good distance men and this leads the list in number of competitors. For the hurdles, Marquis, Young and Crane are in line and Lock, Marquis and Scott make up the trio of high-jumpers. Captain Pippin leads the list for the broad jump and has a worthy running mate in Pea Green, of last season's football team. Lock and Marquis will look after the pole vault and for the weights, White, Mosley, Campbell, Midgette, Sitz and Couch are having a merry contest. Ollinger, Green and Scott complete the squad and are the boys who are tossing the Javelin. Stockleberg's 432:2 5 is the Auburn record for the mile and the rangy lad looks to be a conference contender this time. Boyd is another distance man who has been a consistent point winner for the (Continued on Page 4) WMAV BROADCASTS GOOD PROGRAMS Regular Musical Concerts uven tin inursuays Auburn can now boast of having one of the most powerful and best broadcasting stations in the South. Appropriations for the construction of the station, WMAV, were made during tne Auburn Drive by the Birmingham News and the set was designed and built by the radio facul It was operated successfully last year, with, musical programs, mar- Jiet and weather reports being broadcast regularly. During the first semester of this session only iootball games were broadcast but beginning about the first of the second semester, WMAV has been broadcasting a regular schedule of programs. On every Thursday evening a musical program is rendered which consists of orchestra selections, vocal and instrumental solos, witu frequent variations aud occasionally a short talk. On Saturday evenings a program is run which is of special benefit to the farmers, talks on agricultural subjects being made by faculty members of that department of the college. A formal opening and dedication of the station was held on the evening of February 21. Speeches were made by Victor Hanson, Governor Brandon and President Dowell, and. music for the occasion was rendered by the A. P. I. Serenaders. On last Wednesday evening the annual home entertainment of the Auburn Glee Club was broadcast and on Thursday evening a musical program was given by the negroes from Tuskeegee Normal and Industrial Institute. Dr. R. R. Moton, president of the Institute also made a talk. The work this year of the Broadcasting Station has been very successful. Hundreds of complimentary cards and letters have been received from all parts of the country from Oregon to Maine. The set is still being improved day by day and is fast becoming the very best in this section of the country. For the benefit of those who have receiving stations it may be said that the schedule is 8 P. M. Thursdays and Saturdays, and that the power is 500 to 700 watts, and the wave length is 250 meters. RECEPTION GIVEN AT PRACTICE HOME Auburn's Model Practice Home was thrown open Friday evening and a lovely reception was given to the members of the faculty and their wives. The eight seniors in home economics, who are living at the home and who had made the preparations for the reception, made up the receiving and entertaining committee. They were assisted by Misses Agnes Ellen Harris, Dana Gatchell and Henrietta Thompson, who served the delightful refreshments, which included cream puffs with whipped cream and fruit. Much credit must be given to the promoters and operators of the new Practice Home, while the home does not appear to be anything out of the ordinary to the casual.observer from the outside, but one ghince at the inside, with its neatly kept and delightfully arranged household furnishings, is enough (Continued on Page 4) Garrard Harris To Speak in Auburn Mar. 18 Garrard Harris, associate .editor of 'me Birmingham News, and one of the south's best known newspaper editorial writers, will be the guest of - Auburn next Tuesday, March 1.8. Mr. Harris comes under the auspices of the Journalism Department and will speak to ' the class in journalism on editorial writing luesday evening at 6:30. He will also be the convocation speaker at the regular convocation hour, Tuesday 1:00 p. m. Mr. Harris is a loyal and influential friend of Auburn, having contributed many editorials about tne college during the Semi-centennial Campaign, in addition to his other support to the institution. ALUMNi fti RALLY Sitht m APKiL 4m A clarion call for the return of the "old grads' to their alma mater on April 4 has been sounded by Charles F. DeBardeleben, president of the alumni association. On this day all of the Auburn men scattered throughout the southland are urged to assemble at Auburn for a grand get-together rally. According to the announcement, this will be the initial meeting of a series of similar conferences. As a means of notifying the alumni scattered throughout the state of the series of conferences, the 'keymen' in each county will be notified. In order to further notify the alumni of the plan Mr. DeBardeleben has sent out circular letters as follow: "It has occurred to me for sometime that nothing better could be done in the interest, of the Alumni and College at Auburn than to have one or two Alumni Conferences during the college year at Auburn. "At these conferences first hand information can be gathered as to the activities of the School and constructive suggestions and recommendations can be made by the attending Alumni to the President and faculty. "The initial meeting is planned to be held at AUBURN on APRIL 4th, and I earnestly urge you to be present at this meeting and help to perfect plans for a continuance of these conferences. Bring some other Auburn men of your community with you if possible. "I am writing now so as to give you ample time to make your arrangements to be on hand. "Kindly advise me if you will be present." WEBSTERIAN BANQUET VERY ENJOYABLE AFFAIR One of the most enjoyable affairs of the year was that of the Web-sterian Literary Society Banquet which was held at the Tea Room at six o'clock Tuesday night taking the place of the regular meeting of that society. Over thirty of the society members were present at this feast, and judging from the sounds of laughter and the pleased expression on all the intelligent (?) faces everyone thoroughly enjoyed the affair. Several of the most famous speakers of the society made remarkable speeches beginning with "Rat" Frank the "great" humorist. Next was one of our former presidents, (Continued on Page 4) GLEE CLUB GIVES ANNUAL CONCERT Langdon Hall Filled To Overflowing Before a crowded house the Auburn Glee Club gave its annual home concert on Wednesday night. In addition to the vocal entertainment, the instrumental selections by the Mandolin Club and the jazz music by the Orchestra made the performance, one of the best that has ever been given here. Judging from the applause, the entire program was heartily enjoyed by all present and, the encores giy-en were equally as good as the listed numbers. Perhaps the biggest hits were made by the specials of the Glee Club, by Mr. F. H. Boyd with his piano selections, the medleys of the Mandolin Club, and the lively dance music of the Orchestra. First on the program were three choruses by the Glee Club in unison : "Soldiers of Freedom," "Songs My Mother Taught Me," and "'Tis Morn." These received a hearty applause that was" well deserved. Next in order came "The Trumpeter," a vocal solo by M. G. Smith. The singer was encored several times and for one of his encores he sang, "When I'm With You." Mr. Smith has a wonderful voice, being a first basso, and will no doubt be one of the leading attractions in the Club's road trip. A quartette, composed of Messrs. Tyler, first tenor, Cathcart, second tenor, Collins, first bass, and Johnson, second bass, gave several selections, among them being "Drink to Me Only with Thine Eyes" and "The Bells of Shandon." These were followed by several piano solos from F. H. Boyd, who led off with "2nd Mazurka," but was encored three or four times. Each time it seemed that his music became better and better. Three selections were then given by the Glee Club: "Watchman! What of the Night," "When the Roses Bloom," and "The Song of the Anvil." All of these were exception-- ally good and showed careful work on the part of the director. The Mandolin Club, which fol- (Continued on Page 4) SPLENDID PROGRAM BY WILSONIAN SOCIETY At the regular weekly meeting of the Wilsonian Literary Society on last Tuesday Night, although the weather prohibited a large crowd from coming out, there were at least forty-five or fifty present. But they made up in spirit and enthusiasm what they lacked in numbers and were treated with one of the very best programs that have been rendered at the Wilsonian since its organization. The program given was an excellent combination of biography, elocution, witticisms, adventure and humorous selections, and each person who took part in it showed both talent and preparation. Miss Jimmie Lee Smith beg the program with the biography of Alice Freeman Palmer. This was followed with a humorous reading, "Tit-for-Tat," by Miss Sudie Dow-dell. Both of these were given in such a way that the members of the society were highly entertained ani at the same time received interest ing information. "My First Kissj was given by S. O.

SPIRIT OF UNREST Recently the question has been much discussed regarding the stress given to athletics in colleges. The 'spirit of unrest that is said to exist in some of the colleges has been, in part, attributed over-emphasis placed on athletic sports. That a spirit of unrest has prevailed among the Auburn students for some time is very evident and the question naturally arises, whether or not this is due to too much sports. A somewhat careful summing up of the situation at Auburn seems to point to the fact that a reverse condition exists, as it appears that the athletic scope in the Village of the Plains is far too small. While it is true that great bursts of enthus* iasm are constantly being displayed during the football season, and if a championship is probable, spirit almost runs riot, but this appears to be the result of circumstances that could easily be remedied. We do not maintain that there is any need for greater interest in football, baseball and other forms of intercollegiate contests that are being indulged in at present. It might be a good policy to place stress on some of these and branch out more in other forms, as tennis, lacrosse, etc., but what seems to be one of Auburn's greatest needs at present is athletics for every student who desires to participate in them. To have this means much expansion in the line of athletic fields, but with an abundance of vacant lots, fields, etc., that are so common around the Village it does seem that no great effort would be required and only a comparatively small expense would be necessary to meet the demands for places for pleasant and wholesome recreation that every Auburn student could enjoy. / The present day youth is an enthusiast by nature and even as the youths in the generations of the past. It being an age of athletics, the average student desires to participate in some form of sports as a means of recreation, but with such cramped conditions (one football field, one baseball diamond, etc.) as exist at present this is impossible. Very little interest can be had in intramural athletics on account of there being no place available for the contests. Of the thirteen hundred youths who are enrolled in the A. P. I., some seventy- five percent took part in some form of inter-scholastic games before entering college. Many of these came to college with some hopes of "making a team" before completing their college course, but they find that if they are not well developed athletes upon entrance there is little chance of realizing this ambition. Being crowded out in the first few days of practice is disheartening to a candidate for next year where more athletic fields are available. This is not a plea for more pleasure and less work in the college course. It has long since been proven that restraint does not make good students. Discipline is necessary, but this appears far easier for the busy minds and the best solution to the problem of restlessness seems to be the giving of free access to plenty of wholesome sport and making the classroom work come up to a higher standard. If there is plenty of things available that are of interest to the students they will gladly put forth the effort required to remain in good scholastic standard, and much, of the unrest will disappear. HARE ADVOCATES STUDENT COACHES any team and this is one of the chief disseminators of unrest at Auburn. Only the other day two students were heard to say that they were planning to go to school Professor C. L. Hare, when interviewed, seemed very enthusiastic regarding his recent proposal to the executive committee of the Southern Conference, regarding the adoption of a system whereby student coaches would direct the teams participating in inter-collegiate games. According to this plan, one or more specialized coaches would be necessary, according to the size of the enrollment of the college, whose duties would be to instruct the student coaches and to be responsible for the discipline of the teams. A few of the interesting points as made in the proposal are: After a term of years (say after 1928) the duties of all paid coaches at Conference institutions shall be confined to the development of mass athletics for the entire student body. All teams engaging in intercollegiate contests shall be coached by students alone, with a corps of strategists and assistants made up of players and others familiar with the sport. Viewed from the standpoint of the student, would it not be vastly to his advantage, would not the student coaching staff be on their metal, and use their brains in devising tactics and strategy as they never do under the present system? A team, the creature of the brain, as well as the brawn, of the student body itself would be truly representative of its* college, it would be its very own. The necessity of planning for a season's campaign, and for future years, would' lay upon the student body such responsibility that would develop mental alertness to an extent now impossible. Several other important points were included in the proposal but lack of space prevents their use in this issue. Professor Hare explained that this wns not a move against the salaried coach but that it could be made a system whereby the teaching forces and coaches would be paid on a more equal basis. This last point has become a 'bone" of much contention in colleges during the past few years. When presented to the committee in Atlanta, last week, the plan met with considerable comment, both pro and con. Being of such a revolutionary nature, it will take some time for the consideration of such a plan. At least it has several good as well as bad features and it will be interesting to see how it will be taken after more time and thought is given to it by the committee. INTERFRATERNITY COUNCIL ADOPTS RULES CONCERNING COMING TOURNAMENT The Interfraternity Council met idonday night, March 10, and adopted rules and regulations to govern i t s first annual tournament in uaseball, tennis and golf.

MICHAEL FARADAY 1791-1867 Apprentice to an English bookbinder. Attracted the attention of Sir Humphrey Davy, becoming his assistant. "The greatest experimentalist of all times," says one biographer. The electrical unit Farad was named for him. I n 1880 the Edison Electric Illuminating Company, of New York City, installed a generator of 1200 lamps capacity, then considered a giant. By continuous experimentation and re-s e a r c h the General Electric Company has developed generators 900 times as powerful as this wonder of forty years ago. " What's the use of itr Michael Faraday saw the real beginning of the age of electricity nearly a century ago when he thrust a bar magnet into a coil of wire connected with a galvanometer and made the needle swing. Gladstone, watching Faraday at work in his laboratory, asked, "What's the use of it?" The experimenter jestingly replied, "There is every probability that you will soon be able to tax i t" The world-wide use of electricity that has followed the Faraday discovery abundantly justifies the retort to Gladstone. Faraday's theory of lines of force is constantly applied in the Research Laboratories of the General Electric Company in devising new electrical apparatus of which Faraday never dreamed. Every generator and motor is an elaboration of the simple instruments with which he first discovered and explained induction. GENERAL ELECTRIC THE PLAINSMAN -TF es He looked at her. She was his idol.

Five representatives of the Auburn YMCA attended a Bible Study Leaders' Institute which was held at the University of Alabama last Friday, Saturday and Sunday. Those attending were, Prof. W. H. Eaton, L. H. Tapscott, W. A. Young, C. H. Turk and W. E. Glenn. This Institute was held under the auspices of the University YMCA. The leader was Dr. A. Bruce Curry of the Bible Institute of New York.City who is one of the leading men in the field of Bible Study in America. The Institute was held for the students of Alabama, Mississippi and Louisiana, with approximately fifty attending. Six sessions were held, each lasting about two hours, the last being held on Sunday afternoon. Those who attended were cared for-by the Y. M. C. A. in the dormitories and fraternity houses on the campus. Dr. Curry brought the charge that people of today live according to personal opinions and forget, what the real religion of Jesus Christ is. His great desire is to help American students understand that the Bible is a book dealing with life at its best and not one to be read as a treatise of history or anything else, although it does have that in-it. It discloses the great life of Christ and if one is willing to study it thoroughly he may re-discover what the Master Teacher came to give us. He urged that, as students become dissatisfied with modern man-made religion they should go back to the beginnings of Christianity for a pure conception of what it should be.

The charter members of the organization are: Chloe Earnest, Ruth Earnest, Dorothy Duggar, Clara El len Yarbrough, Osie Hagerman, Bill Wood, and Emily Hare. The purpose of the club as set forth in the constitution is: "to encourage original composition, self-expression, and frank criticism among the members." Any student of the Alabama Polytechnic Jnstitute is eligible for membership into the "Pen Pushers." A person desiring admittance must present some original composition to the club, which will be voted on, and if it is accepted he will be allowed to join.

"The Military Department regrets exceedingly that it is forced to limit the number of people granted these privileges, and trusts that an understanding of the situation will prevent any feeling of dissatisfaction. The Department has been guided in its decision to limit the list to advanced course students of the Field Artillery Unity by the fact that the horses were sent to Auburn for the use of the Field Artillery. At present there are only forty seven government horses here for the use of 107 seniors and juniors of Field Ar tillery."' The following regulations gover>* ing privilege riding are effective at once, and all previous notices on the subject are hereby revoked: (1) All students granted riding privileges will be listed and assign ed horses. This list will be posted on the bullentin board at the Stables, and no departure therefrom will be permitted. (2) Under no circumstances will a student allow-any one to mount the horse for which he signs up Horses will not be galloped within two miles of stables. Lack of care or abuse of animals will result in suspension of privileges. (3) Horses may be taken from stables between the hours of 1:30 and 2:00 P. M. on Wednesdays, Saturdays, and Sundays. Horses must be returned by 5:00 P. M. Horses will be walked the first ten minutes out of the stables and the last ten minutes back, and at such intervals as will prevent distress or excessive fatigue to animals. (4) Any student granted riding privileges may be authorized to take out an extra horse for a lady upon WRITTEN ORDER from LIEUTENANT JONES. The extra horse will be assigned by the N. C. O. at the stables. (5) In the event that two or more persons desire use of same horse, if all interested are at stables at 1 = 30 P. M., horse will be assigned in the following order: to a senior; to a junior; as an extra horse for a senior; as an extra horse for a junior If all those interested are not at stables by 1:30 P. M., horse will be assigned according to hour of arrival. The assignment of the N. C. O. in charge of stables will be final. (6) Students taking advantage of riding privileges will sign up for animals at the time same are taken out. John E. Hatch, Major, F. A. (DOL) Commandant.

It was a representation of "Life as it Seldom is." R. U. Staton ventured forth with some current events that involved everything from the time of the ancient Gieeks to recent happenings in Auburn. And Freshman R. Johnson concluded the program with a few jokes that "made" some of the members present in grand style. On the whole it was one of the n-.ost successful meetings that the society has ever held and if the standard set up by this program is kepi up during the whole semester, it may be depnded upon that this year will be one of the best that the society has ever had. GLEE CLUB GIVES ANNUAL CONCERT (Continued from Page 1) lowed with a medley, was applauded so heartily that it seemed as if the. audience would never allow them to get away. They were call ed back five or six times and in their encores "Down on the Farnr and the medley of college songs ending with "Glory to Old Auburn were among the best. S. C. Zeigler, star soloist for the Club, rendered several selections which were greeted with an enthusiastic re ception from the audience; the first of these was "Our Yesterdays," and the second was "Forever," the words and music to which were composed by W. T. Wood of the Senior Class. "Bill" accompanied him on the piano. After three more excellent selec tions by the Glee Club in chorus, "Tommy" Jones and his six-piece orchestra held the center of attraction for twenty or. thirty minutes, From the quality of the music they gave and the tone of the reception with which it was heard by the audience it may be judged that Au burn, has an orchestra that will compare favorably with any in the South. And Mr. Jones is to be congratulated for his work in organ izing and directing it. The music given by these six men was con sidered one of the biggest hits of "the entire performance. They are T. W. Jones, trombone and director; F. H. Boyd, piano; Paul Fon tille, saxaphone and violin; R. D. Yarbrough, saxaphone; G. H. Man dy, drums, and R. L. Simpson, banjo. W. M. Anderson, first tenor, with the Glee Club quartette, sang "Pic anniny Snuggle Song," and when encored gave a yodeling solo, "Sleep, Baby Sleep." The concluding numbers of the night's per formance were the "A. P. I. Loyalty Song" and the new "Alma Mat er", composed by Bill Wood. When the new college hymn was sung the entire audience rose to its feet in reverence, and this was the first time in the history of the institu tion that such a thing has happened. It made a thrill run through the students to feel that Auburn now has an Alma Mater that is as beautiful as any in the country. On Friday, the Glee Club, together with the Mandolin Club and the Orchestra, left on its ten day trip to South Alabama. Several performances will be given on the trip and there is no doubt that if they make as creditable showing as they did before the Opelika audience on Tuesday and the Auburn audience on Wednesday, they will meet with success wherever .they go. P. R. Bidez deserves the commendation of the whole college for his splendid work in directing the Club. INTER-FRAT TRACK MEET MARCH 17th (Continued from Page 1) be given one point; tenth best, ten points, etc. The team with the lowest number of points for the five events will be awarded the loving cup. (Sample scoring—if each of the five best men of a fraternity jump five feet, their record will be twenty-five feet.) Each fraternity desiring to enter-is expected to file a list of members with the Games Committee, or Coach Hutsell, on or before Saturday March 15th. CLASS DAY EXERCISES DATE CHANGED (Continued from Page 1) Day exercises is Monday night, May 19—preceding the Graduation exercises on the following Tuesday morning. This hour has previously been given over to the "Festival of Lights," which is the occasion on which the "keys" to the ruling class are given to the officers of the in-coming Senior Class by the officers of the out-going Seniors. THE SEASON'S TRACK PROSPECTS BRIGHT (Continued from Page 1) past two seasons in his two mile jaunts. Reeves and Belcher show ed up well in the cross country meet last fall and bid fair to go well in the spring meets.. "Duke" Marquis was the all-round track star of the team last year and scored eighteen points in one of the dual meets. He does the high and low hurdles, the high and broad jumps and is a good man in the pole vault. Captain Pippin has never failed to go better than twenty-one feet in the broad jump and was second in the conference meet in Montgomery last year. Lock is the best pole vaulter that ever tried his hand at Auburn, and ihc long fellow never reached his real stride until in a meet in Chicago last summer when he cleared the bar at twelve feet. White is making his first try, having been on the freshman team last year, and is going fine with the weights. 01 linger and Greene are putting the javelin around one hundred forty feet in practice, which makes the outlook pleasing . RECEPTION GIVEN AT PRACTICE HOME (Continued from Page 1) to make the most profound bachelor admit his erring judgment.

WEBSTERIAN BANQUET VERY ENJOYABLE AFFAIR (Continued from Page 1) Mr. R. A. Nunn who flattered the society so mucn until it will take wccits to get back to normal again. After the conclusion of this speech by some mistake a Rat was called upon who deigned to make his talk on the wonderful subject of "Marriage 1'" The talk was nothing excellent in itself but it aroused a subject that continued until the conclusion of the affair. What it was all about was that someone discovered (or thought they did) during the progress of the talk that the speaker was Very much interested in a certain girl and therefore this pointed to his chosing the aforesaid subject. Several other real good talks were made by various members of the society with subjects ranging from Florida to steam turbines. Mr. K. W. Grimley, the able president of the society acted as tost-tnaster for the occasion and presided in a fine manner. The thanks of the society is due Mr. Kernodle who rendered several beautiful selections on the piano. Everyone departed from the ban quet voting it one of the most successful banquets that they had ever had the pleasure of attending. This was the first annual banquet of the society but it is to be an annual affair hereafter, this being decided at the last meeting. The society has had a highly successful year, launching three new enterprises in literary societies during the past few months which were the holding of Jhe first social affairs, a weenie roast and a banquet, that have ever been held by_ any society, and the is uance of a society paper.
