Mary E. Martin,. TIGER vs BULL DOG THE PLAINSMAN TIGER vs BULL DOG TO FOSTER THE AUBURN SPIRIT VOLUME LI AUBURN, ALABAMA, FRIDAY, OCTOBER 28, 1927 NUMBER 8 EPISCOPALIANS IN CONFERENCE IN GATE CITY Many Colleges Send in Representatives AUBURN PRAISED BY REV. C. L, GLENN Problems of College Students is Main Subject A number of Auburn students attended the conference for Episcopal college students, in Atlanta on Saturday and Sunday of last week. The main feature of the conference was to discuss the problems of a college stQdent. The delegates that attended were housed and entertained by the Georgia Tech chapter of the Episcopal college students. The conference was opened on Saturday morning by Biskop H. J. Mikell and continued until Sunday evening at four o'clock when it closed with the report of the findings committee. This committee was composed of Rev. A S. Lawrence of the University of North Carolina, Rev. Melville John son, University of Florida, Emile Bragoff of University of Louisville, Miss Janet Botts of Converse College and Wilson Newman of Clemson. There were a number of social features on the program as the delegates were guests at lunch of the All Saints Church at All Saints Parish House. Again on Sunday morning breakfast was served in honor of the guests. Thru the courtesy of the Georgia Tech Athletic association the visiting students were taken to the Georgia Tech-North Carolina game at Grant Field. On Satudray night in a one hour conference the students studied Church and Campus, preceded by an address by Rev. C. Leslie Glenn of New York. It was arranged at this time with Rev. Glenn for him to speak to the Auburn ehapter of Episcopal students. There were a number of colleges represented namejly, University o)f North Carolina, St. Mary's School, North Carolina State College, Louisiana State College, Winthrop College, University of Alabama, Converse college, Tulane, Agnes Scott, Georgia Tech, Auburn, University of Florida, and others. The delegates that attended from Auburn were Rev. W. Bt Lee, Rector of the Auburn Episcopal Church, A. T. Barton, S. G. Croom, E. H. Gray, Tom Guyton, R. O Lile, Verne Wiggins, Haskin Williams, C H. Feagin, and Tom Sparrow. AUBURN STUDENTS GO TO CONFERENCE Twenty A. P. I. Students Attend Meeting at Montcvallo October the twenty first through the twenty third, the Baptist Students Union held their annual convention at Alabama College at Montcvallo. About twenty students attended the convention from Auburn, among these were Miss"Leland Cooper, Miss Mabel Price, Miss Irene Reynolds, S. L. Hancock, C. T. Thompson, L. H. -Lecroy, O. L. Ivey, and R. L. High-tower. The B. S. U. holds its convention each year at some college. Every college of any size has a Baptist Students Union. The president of the Auburn organization is S. L. Hancock. NOTICE! The Plainsman now has two offices, one located in the basement of the boys dormitory and the other at the Auburn Printing Company. Anyone desiring to contribute to the paper will please leave articles in the Plainsman copy box at the printing office. All articles must be typewritten, on one side of paper only and double spaced. No article will be published which is submitted later than 9 a. m. Wednesday preceding data of issue. Professors Turn Students; Attend Education Talks The tables have turned! The professors and instructors at the Alabama Polytechnic Institute last week became students again and attended classes as they used to do in their undergraduate days. Like students they attended lectures, took notes and asked questions. These professors listened attentively to their instructor, though and none of them slept while the classes were in session. Keeping abreast with the times with regard to the latest discoveries in the most effective methods of teaching college students, and in line with the national movement among Land Grant colleges in the United States to improve the quality of the instruction offered, President Spright Dowell for the second year has brought to the Alabama Polytechnic Institute an eminent educator for the purpose of delivering lectures on the latest developments in the .field of college instruction. This progressive move on the part of Dr. Dowell has received the vigorous approval of the faculty members. To this end Dr. F. D. McClusky, associate director of the Scarborough school in New York gave a series of lectures during the past week which was attended by practically the en- (Continued on Page 6.) CO-EDS LOYALTO TEAM; ATTEND GEORGWGAME Women Students Invade Columbus With Boys WEAR COLORS A N D CHEER It is quite true that the women students are outnumbered about fifteen to one by the men at Auburn, but they cannot outdo them when it comes to spirit and support. We are al) familiar with the slogan 99 and 44-100 per cent pure as advertised by the manufacturer of Ivory Soap. Well, the co-eds were 99 44-100 per cent present at the Georgia-Auburn combat last Saturday. On the streets of Columbia and at the stadium they proudly wore the famous Orange and Blue. When the ball went sailing through the goal posts to make Auburn's score of three points the coeds were cheering as hard, or perhaps a little harder than any of the rest. However*" they did not stop here, for until the final whistle blew you could hear the familiar cry. of "eat 'em up, Tigers," or "hold that line," on the Rps of every co-ed present. They returned from the annual battle a tired but proud group still cheering and backing the fighting Tigers. REV. LESLIE GLENN IS SPEAKER HERE New York Men Addresses St. Pauls' Club Monday Rev. Leslie Glenn of New York City, Student Secretary of the National Council of Episcopal Students, was the speaker at a meeting of Saint Paul's Club of the Episcopal Church on Monday evening October 24th. Before studying for the ministry Rev. Glenn graduated from Stephens Tech and his theme was introduced with a discussion of applied mechanics. He spoke of the ^nany types of perpetual motion machines presented for inspection during his engineering course and of the men who spend the major portion of their lives trying to perfect a machine that will run indefinitely without a renewal of any outside help or influence. Such a machine is impossible because it is opposed to the laws of physics and mechanics. "It is the same way with spiritual as well as physical life", said Rev. Glenn. "There mtfet be something continually coming in from the outside to supply used-up energy. Mar- (Continued on Pags 0.) A. J. ELLIOT TO CONDUCT SERIES MEETINGS HERE "Dad" Elliot i s Y. M. C. A Speaker For Services Here IS OLD FOOTBALL STAR A. J. "Dad" Elliot, a one time All Western end on the Northwestern University football team, a holder of many honorary titles, a man who is devoutly religious, a leader and prophet for college students, and known by students the world over, is to spend three of his ten days stay in the South at Auburn, November 1-3, when he will conduct Evangelistic Services for the Students. For the past eighteen years "Dad" Elliot has been executive had of stu dent work in the nine states- comprising th Central Region, and as leader of the Lake Geneva Conference, has been able to kindle spiritual power in more than eighteen hundred students each year who in turn have gone to the uttermost parts of the earth as pioneers for a more perfect social order.

CO-EDS UP IN ARMS AT EMORY RULING Council Bars Women Student* From Swimming Pool Coeds at Emory university are up in arms because the athletic council has ruled that they will be barred from the campus swimming pool when it is reopened next spring. So says the Emory Wheel, weekly student publication, in its current issue, which quotes two of those affected. "Since coeds are not given equality in such activities at Emory, we ought to be allowed to go in swimming," the Wheel quotes Kiss Frances Cross-well, freshman, as saying. "Most of us can swim as well as boys and it is certainly depriving us of a great pleasure." Miss Ella May Hollingsworth, who entered Emory, this fall as a junior, is quoted by the Wheel as saying: "They don't seem to want to give us equality. I don't agree at all to the statement that it is unfair to the boys. It's fair to the girls." Coincidentally with this outburst, President Harvey W. Cox has announced that plans have been completed by architects for covering the pool and heating it for winter smim-ming. STATE METHODIST PUPILS ORGANIZE Officers Will Be Chosen at February Meeting of Delegate* The Methodist Students Association of Alabama met for its second southern conference at Birmingham Southern College Feb. 17-19, it has been announced by the executive committee of the group, which organized Saturday on the Hilltop campus with 25 representatives present from five institutions. The colleges reprsented were the University of Alabama, Auburn, Alabama College, Jacksonville State Nor-imfPand Birmingham Southern. At the conference in February every Methodist college and state institution in Alabama will be represented. The executive committee appointed to draw up a constitution and prepare a program for the February meeting, when officers will be chosen, is composed of chairman, B. M. Murphree, of the university; C. W. Thompson, Jacksonville Normal; W. T. Edwards, AuDurn; Aloise Hurd, Montevallo and H. K. Barnes, Birmingham Southern. ; The methodist pastors at cities where the institutions are located were represented as follows: Rev. U: S. Pftts, University of Alabama; O. D. Langston, Auburn; J. B. McFer-rin Rice, Montevallo, and Dr. Claude Orear, Birmingham Southern. . The delegates of the new collegiate organization were entertained by Birmingham Southern following the conference by a luncheon in the college cafeteria. Engineer's First Issue Of Year Is Excellent Number This month's issue of the Auburn Engineer is one of the best numbers that has been produced since the beginning of its publication, something over two years ago. A very interesting article by Edgar R. Hauser, e.e. '29 on "The Electric Transient Analysis by Means of Oscillograph", appeared in this issue. It may be interesting to note that this was the winning article in the Eta Kappa Nu Slide Rule Contest of last year. Another article that should be of particular interest to Freshmen and Sophomores who plan to continue military training in their Jnuior and Senior years, was a sketch of the R. 0. T. C. camp activities at Fort Benning, during the past summer. A technical article on the construction of Spar Bridges was well received by its readers and contains numerous hints that should prove beneficial to engineers. "Developing a Pleasing Personality", an article Dr. Charters brought out many points that, if followed, would indeed develop an ideal personality. Also quite a bit of news about our Alumni is to be found in this number. A page under the title of "Technical Tidbits" contains a number of short, interesting articles on the various activities of the world, and should be of interest to all. "Campus Notes", is a new feature of the Auburn Engineer began this month. A page under this title will appear each month containing interesting news about the various activities going on about the campus. A very appropriate display of the Auburn Engineer was put on last week in. one of the. show windows of the Student Supply Shop. The purpose of this display-was to remind the students that Auburn has an engineering mazazine and to urge them to subscribe to it. Rings Selected By Committees For Two Classes The senior ring committees of both the senior and the junior class have received bids and have let contracts for their rings. The Senior committee with Mr. Bolton Shotts as chairman has signed a contract with Elliott & Company of Philadelphia. The Junior committee has given their contract to Klein & Sons of Montgomery. These companies are now ready to supply the students and the committees urge that the rings be purchased as soon as possible. NOTICE! All reporters for both literary and technical societies must have their articles in no later than 9 a. m. Wednesday preceeding date of issue. No article will be published which is not typewritten and double spaced and signed. FORTY YOUNG PEOPLE SING IN AUDITION State Contest Held Here At Station WAPI WINNERS GO TO ATLANTA Forty young Alabama singers, presumably the best in the state from more than twenty towns, representing by districts all sections, stood before the microphone in Station WAPI at Auburn last Friday and Saturday nights and sang for fame and fortune in the Alabama State Contest in the National Radio Audition which the Atwater Kent foundation is conducting throughout America. Two of them, one boy and one girl, emerged as state champions to represent Alabama in the District Audition to be broadcast over Sat-tion W.S.B. in Atlanta, November 22 and 23, when they wil lcompete with champions of the other nine southern and southeastern states which make up the audition district No. three. As state winners they will receive silver medals and their (Continue/! on page 6) SOUTHERN WILL HAVE MAGAZINE Comic Publication to be Put Out By Student* / Terrell Cline and R. Blay Bailey will edit and Heyt M. Dobbs, Jr., will be business manager of Birmingham- Southern Co.'lege's humorous magazine, which has recently been authorized by the faculty, and will be published by the Sigma Upsilon, honorary national literary fraternity. Cline and Bailey early this week will announce plans for a contest, the object of which will be to select a name for the publication. Plans for the comic magazine have been under way since early in the 1925-26 school year, but only lately have means and talent been found which could finance and turn out such a publication. Editors and members of the proposed staff are studying other college comics in preparation for the first number. H. M. Dobbs, Jr., the business man iger, is a nephew of Miss Zoe Dobbs, Dean of Women, at Auburn. "Let's Go" is Title Of Band Show To Be Presented Here , Plans for the Auburn band show, which has been given the title "Let's Go" are rapidly nearing completion and there is every indication of a snappy production being presented. The Glee club, Mandolin club, Orchestra, and Band are all taking part in this performance and they will endeavor to present all the different phases of college life. "Let's Go" is to be staged in a professional manner, there being a number of new and novel sets and effects which are to be designed in keeping with the modern collegiate spirit. Practice for the' show has already begun and plans for five acts have been completed. The show is to be given November 21, and 22, tickets going on sale about November first. Those in charge of the Band show are as follows: Director, P. R. Bi-dez; General chairman, M. G. Smith; Assistant, J. B. Merrill; Art Director, Professor B. Wyatt; Technical Director, Professor Thomas and Professor M. T. Fullan; Dancing Director, Lillian Gist; stage manager, R. L. Plaff; assistant, Edgar Hauser; Treasurer, P. S.. Alford; assistant, Dooley Gilchrist; Publicity, Rosser Alston, F. M. Malone and Sam Mos-ley. AUBURN MAN PUBLISHES BOOK ON POPULISM Dr. J. B. Clarke Publishes His Doctorate Thesis CLARKE NOW AT JUDSON Auburn Motor Co. Organized Here J. A. Bain Will Sell Chevrolet Motors At New Garage Among the new business firms that have been recently organized in Auburn is the Auburn Motor Co. This firm, under the management of James A. Bain, is located on North College street, just south of the railroad. ' . The new firm is the local dealer for new Chevrolets and accessories. They have a used car department and a member of the firm states that there will be special rates offered to the students. The house will also contain a repair shop. FACULTY MEMBERS DOCTOR THOMAS Doctor Thomas, our school physician, has made a wonderful record during his term of office here. He proudly boasts the fact that his batting average is .666, having to his credit twice as many . recoveries as fatilities. Doctor Thomas was born in the year 1889, the same year, you will remember, that Lydia E. Pinkham made her gift to humanity. He was christened Benjamin Franklin, because of his tendency at an early age to be a live-wire. He later proved his name to be well chosen by becoming an adept at the art of kite-flying. After finishing the grammar and high schools, Benjie reflected as to his life work. Now all his life Benjie had been a great whittler, using the pocket knife in a manner that • would befit any grocery-store artist. On this account he decided to take up medicine. He entered a well known medical school and after many years of hard labor he received the degree of M. D. (Miserable Doctor or Doctor of Misery). He then came to Auburn where he has practiced (on us) for the last several.years. Besides his position as school physician, Doctor Thomas is local representative for the Hacksum Saw and Chisel Company of Lansing, Michigan. He also indorses Parkham's Pink Pills for Pale People, he himself being a living example of their quality. The Doctor's younger brother, Victor, is the junior partner of the firm Crepe and Thomas, local undertakers, who have done a thriving business during the past several years. As a side line, the Doctor tries his hand at inventions. He is now working on a manuscript lie detector, which when placed,over writing will detect whether it istruthful. This is to be used on the sick list as soon as it 1B completed. It is of the greatest interest to our institution to note the rise and accomplishments of an Auburn graduate. Dr. John B. Clark, a native of Marion, Alabama and an Auburn alumnus, has attained phenomenal success in college educational work. After an unusually brilliant college career, Dr. Clarke obtained a B. S. Degree at Auburn in 1907. In 1910 he received an A. M. Degree at Van-derbilt, and another at Harvard in 1911. In 1922 he completed his residence work for a Ph. D. Degree at Columbia University and in 1926 he received his Ph. D. Degree from New York University. From 1920 to 1927, excepting the years 1924 to 1926, Dr. Clarke was head of the department of Economics at Auburn. During these years of service to our college, he was highly respected by both the student body and the faculty. At the beginning of the present school term Dr. Clark left Auburn to become Dean and Professor of Economics and History at Judson College. During the past week his thesis, written in partial fulfillment of the requirements for the Degree of Doctor of Philosophy at New York University, was published at Auburn. The name of this work is "Populism in Ala fbama" (1874-1896.) The cotatents of this book may be summed up briefly under the folowingjieads: (1) the (Continued on Pag* 6.) AUBURN TIGERS DETERMINED TO DOWN HOWARD Shotts Not in Lineup On Account of Injuries AUBURN NEVER DOWNED BY TEAM FROM EAST LAKE Tigers Out For Blood After Defeat by Georgia Following the defeat handed the Tigers at the hands of the strong Bulldog aggregation in Columbus last Saturday, Pitts & Co., are determined to make the count Even Steven; as far as the Bulldogs are-concerned. The Howard pups are her* aided as one of the strongest outfits ever assembled by any S. I. A. A. College and boast of the fastest backfield runners in that class. Incidentally, this miracle backfield goes by the name of "the four B's". Mr. Billy Bancroft, sprinter, is the chief threat and has had two previous chances to pierce an Auburn line, but has never been able to stand the gaff in a Tiger affray. Lets hope he doesn't see the entire -sixty minutes in this fray. During the scrimmages this past week, considerable force was placed in the backfield. Murray "Biff" Hoffman, former end was shifted to fullback post during the absence of Shotts. He has plenty of beef and should go well. And with Mike Fisher and Snitz Snyder ready once more to carry the oval, a real offensive game should be in vogue. Both Fisher and Snider were out of the Georgia battle due to injuries, but are now on the O. K. list again. Last year, it was these two lads that crumbled all hopes the Howard club ever had of winning whan they were inserted during the second half. Howard was then leading 13-7. But Snitz and Mike thought it a track meet and ran up four touchdowns so fast that Birmingham became ashamed of themselves. For it seems that Birmingham is simply living to see a Birmingham eleven trounce a Tiger outfit, something that has never been done. And won't! Howard's plays were in full force on Drake field during the past week's scrimmages and looked fairly well, but the line got on to them very fast and succeeded in cogging up all holes and leaks. The line should be even more vulnerable this week than it was in Montgomery against L. S. U. Spinks is back in the game again and will add considerably to the strength He was out the past week with a bad hip. Bolton Shotts will not likely see much action as he is still suffering from an injury suffered last Saturday. But his position is well fortified with Granger, Sellers and Hoffman running his post. The line-up will very likely be as it was last week-end. The fast backs have returned and much speed is expected by all. Let's all be at the matinee and yell as if we were at Rickwood Field. Back that Team! YOUNG PEOPLES' UNION MEETING Three Organization* Unite at Methodist Church Sunday The Epworth League, B. Y. P. U., and the Christian Endeavor are holding their Union Meetings at the Methodist Church beginning Sunday night, October the thirty-first at six-thirty. The Union meetings which are held every fifth Sunday during the months of October, January and May, are sponsored by the Y. M. C. A. A committee representing the three societies: Mr. Warren Moore, representing the Epworth League, Mr. B. A. Vandersys representing the Christian Endeavor and Mr. O. C. Medlock representing the B. Y. P. U., is responsible for the programs. Alabama Schools Get Check Monday Railroads Tax Money Goes to U. of A. and Montevallo The University of Alabama and also Alabama College received checks for more than one-hundred-thousand dollars Monday afternoon, this amount represents the appropriations made by the state for the suport of the institutions for a period of three months beginning October 1st. The University was given $83,151.44 and Alabama College $46,905.94. Governor Graves stated that these payments were possible at this time because the railroads had paid the license tax of two and one half percent of gross receipts before it became delinquent. The Alabama Power Company, which is required to pay a kilowatt tax, has not yet made a remittance to the treasurer. The Frisco Railway announced that the payment of their tax which amounted to $22,639.98 was made under protest.

Taylor - Gradly Mosley Ass't Business Mgr. _ Advertising Manager Ass't. Advertising Mgr. Ass't. Circulation Mgr. . Ass't. Circulation Mgr. The foundation of any business is honesty. We are judged by our higher points, not at low tide. Today's progress is founded on the triumphs of the living dead. Exercise those finer qualities in your character for exercise develops them. Talent alone is vastly insufficient for ones success in a profession. There is the person equation that must be solved after training has been considered. From all appearances it is evident that the co-eds gave bodily support to the team last Saturday. It is reasonable to suppose that the enormous wait crushed many hearts. The nearest approach to perpetual motion is when an error is made. It goes on and on and being blocked by a stronger force may never be totally destroyed. IT IS INTERESTING TO NOTE THAT: —The Auburn representatives attending the Baptist Student's Convention at Monte-vallo recently are safely and singly back on the campus again! An unintentionally overheard conversation emerging from the Y office Wednesday afternoon ran thus: "If somebody gave me ten dollars I'-d go straight to Monte-vallo." Why to Montevallo? The speech of Montevallo's President in upperclassman convocation Thursday was greatly enjoyed. In an effort to prove our appreciation of his appearance here, we suggest that our students be allowed to return the favor by staging individual speeches on his campus! Some out-of-town observer has been reading the newspaper. He suggests that every Rat here be sentenced to the penitentiary for the mild expression of their enthusiasm just after a recent mass meeting. Georgia didn't have twelve horsemen, rather than just four. We can let bygones be bygones—but watch out Howard! There arises a difficult question in the thought of which course will be easiest to fail; and too, which prof will have the most fun preparing mid-semester quizzes. Pretty soon, perhaps, there'll be a change in the weather. Behind the darkest course, there lies a darker one! Though when it's passed—ain't it a grand and glorious feeling? We can hardly find reason for cutting a "bull session" in order to prepare an ap- ' proaching recitation. Pretty soon we hope to be given quality points on attending these expounding parties. Convocation period is' the life of business for the magazine dealer. Groans of complaint issuing from drousy students are common during lecture periods; they complain of being robbed of pleasant sleep by the chatter of the Prof. The Army football team has suffered heavy losses this year by losing six men from the frist string squad because of classroom deficiences.' FRESHMAN SPIRIT Much time has passed since the opening of college and with it we have lost much of the freshness and attention to some of the important, things in our life here. It is apparent to many of us that the freshman spirit is on the decline. There are too few rat caps being worn and smoking rules are not being observed in the stricter sense. One never hears a 'war eagle' or other familiar cry now. We realize that those of the older set are-inclined to believe that conditions are not what they were 'back in the .good old days' and we agree that things are not what they should be. <. Hazing is one of\the best things that has ever been introduced into the collegiate world. Like everything else it has been carried to the extreme in a few isolated cases. On the other hand it is not recorded how many men it has made. One who has been in college for some time can help but endorse the snobbish eliminator. Ratting is used by upperclassmen to subdue the know-it-all attitude of many men that swarm into our colleges each year. Such a system is probably the best way to rid the subject of the superiority complex. It is regretful that some of the upperclassmen .cannot be subjected to some of the rules. Many men come to college with the wrong viewpoint. They undoubtedly have their attitude considerably righted by under: going hazing and being subjected to regulations. It is needless to say that this noticeable indifference to the rules is the fault of the upperclassmen. Such a laxness should not be tolerated. The vigilance committee asks your cooperation and in obeying these regulations and in seeing that those rules set fourth by the student body are rigidly enforced. CLASS MEMORIALS At many of the older institutions it has been the custom for each class to contribute something to perpetuate their memory. This practice is one that adds materially to the college andshould be revived here at Auburn. During past years certain notable classes have placed on our campus gifts that have proven beautiful and useful. This custom is one thing since laid aside by succeeding class groups. - In some colleges it is a long established tradition for classes to leave an ever present reminder to their posterity that the class as a whole, were interestd enough in their alma mater to contribute something to its material wealth and beauty. A south eastern college has its campus adorned with several imposing entrance gates. One post each year has been presented by the senior class of that year. In this way no over burden has been placed on the class treasury. The ceremonies connected with the presentation and erection of these memorials are outstanding campus events and have come to be traditional in the life of that college. Some action should be taken by the senior class in regard to the^ presentation of an appropriate gift to the institution. It need not be unduly expensive to be beautiful nor of large proportions to be effective. Certainly the time for the presentation of a suitable mmorial is now and the donors should be the class of twenty eight. WASTED GENIUS One of the great evils of the college today is that the student does not think. This may be attributed to the heavy duies of the, student, nevertheless there are a few who have labored under adverse circumstances. Is it that there is too little original thinking in our institutions of higher learning today)? Have we departed from the age of 'studious cloisters'? With reference to the conditions as they exist in a number of the higher institutions the New Student says: "Have you a solution to the world's evils against which you rebel? Are you a genius?' "If you cannot solve the world's ills, and if you are not a genius don't rebel. You'll get kicked out of college, all right, but no one will crown you, unless it's an offended president or student. "The Roundup, of the New Mexico A. & M. college, has brought the whole problem of college kick-outs, down to this: 'there is no advantage in rebelling against the present order unless you are absolutely convinced that you have a solution to the evils against whcih you rebel" and "The past seems to prove that only genius can rebel and come out on top. When the average person is expelled because of dissipation, lack of interest in things scholastic, and general flagrancy, it is only best for the majority, and does not place a crown on. the victim.' "The New Student advises all students considering getting kicked out of college to take intelligence tests. All failing to score at least 189 had better go back to the books and sweat rebellion out of their souls. They will have to give up hope of joining the company of Shelley, Locke and Gibbon, et. al, but that disappointment should be mitigated somewhat by the prospects of en-shrinement with the successes in, Who's Who." DISCIPLINE IN COLLEGE The word "discipline" is defined in the dictionary as "treatment .suited to a disciple or learner; training; drill. What is its application to life at Auburn? The college was' founded upon discipline. Through some limitation and extortion an organization was formed and developed into what was known as a college or place of learning, where, by means of discipline the students were taught a knowledge of so "mpractical subject. A faculty was organized' and disciplined, that is the members cooperated under certain rules. The students Came to college and were instructed by means of regulations which were new to the student but by no means unjust. This process has continued to evolve through the years up to the present date. • What is the purpose of discipline? From the "definition we note that it is a "treatment or training SUITED to the learner." It is not a^law that is unadvisable or radical but is suited to the learner. Prejudice for any one person or group of persons did not actuate its establishment but on the contrary a motive of helpfulness for the one osubjected. Suppose that a child is born into a family and taught practically nothing in regard to behavior, politeness or manners. Suppose he is not taught to receive instructions from those superior in age. When this extreme protegee meets the world and enters society he cannot begin immediately to receive instruction or inform anyone else for he has had training in none of these practices at home. For the same reason a college must have discipline. Experience has shown that a man must first be able to receive instruction or inform anyone else for he has had training in none of these practices at home. For the same reason a college must have discipline. Experience has shown that a man must first be able to receive instruction before he can reach a position from which he can extract any duty from others. Unless he can do this he is useless to the world and humanity, for which man was virtually created. i f then the suggestion may arise that certain functions of the college are governed under too severe a "law" or regulation we should but realize that they were created for the individual benefit of those subjected. A summation might be: Be able to receive instruction through a "suitable treatment" in order to give instruction in later life. Book Review CHAINS: LESSER NOVELS AND SHORT STORIES In 1926 Theodore Dreiser published An American Tragedy, which has been considered as one of the peaks in American writing. This year he has published a collection of short stories under the common name of Chains; published by Boni and Liveright, New York. The name Chains refers to one of the stories in the collection, and indicates, also, what Dreiser calls "the inevitabilities of our fate." This is not Mr. Dreiser's first venture into short story writing. Previous to Chains, he had published Free and Other Stories and Twelve Men, which had done much to establish his reputation as one of the foremost modern writers even before the American Tragedy won its recognition. In this latest collection, he continues his efforts to portray characters struggling against the forces of life which determine their existence. As a short story writer, he is most successful in the plain narration of the story, least successful when he attempts to draw his conclusions and to be subtle. His foreword, "The inevitabilities of our fate are: Love and hope, fear and death, interwoven with our lacks, inhibitions, pealousies and greeds," is true enough and, in effect at least, has been said before,' but after all what does it mean? One must get the effect of his stories from the impression created by the whole narrative; he does not give it by any one well turned sentence. - •; .."".''..'...''..' Yet the whole tone and subject matter of the stories is a result of the conclusions voiced in the foreword. Although the tone of the foreword sounds as if the attitude might be pessimistic and cynical in the extreme, the attitude taken is rather that these inevitabilities are noth through any fault of the person; so we must, and he does, feel a sympathy for those who are unable to meet difficulties and overcome them, even though his feeling to make him fail to see the situation as it is. He has even more of a sense of the futility of struggle than has Conrad, and like Conrad, believes that man's greatness lies in his struggle to overcome difficulties which are not to be overcome. One is surprised at the patience with which he regards his people. With all of his fatalism, he has a feeling of sympathy for those who are making the struggle which makes us forget his apparent pessimism and to see only the greatness of the struggle. It doesn't do much good to have people pulling for you when-you have a rope around your neck. THE CALENDAR Sunday. Who said that the Kappa Delta was the lesser of the four evils? Monday.

Birmingham, October 25, (1912). In the annual battle today at Rickwood Park, the Agricultural and Mechanical College of Mississippi went down in defeat before the Orange and Blue Tigers of Auburn, by the score of 7-0. * * * * * _ Today the mighty Tigers from the old Orange and "Blue Station meet the Howard Bulldogs at Rickwood. Their opposition may prove a bit interesting but of course the scoring won't be held as close against us as that quoted above. And we still remember that Billy is with them this year. The Plainsman will meet the Miss A. and M. Aggies in Birmingham at a later date. We are going good for an even more decisive victory this season. Auburn's track team journeys to the Alabama-Fair at Montgomery, to compete with other colleges of the South. Gaum, coach; Beutell, captain. * * * * * Laurels were doubtless won in this meet, as has become a second nature with Auburn on the cinder path. No competitive meets have been held so far this season; however, they are just ahead. And Auburn bids fair to cop a large portion of the awards in this sport this season. "The Tiger never fails to make tracks!" and prominent ones. At this Montgomery meeting the Tigers sprinted under the flags of S. I. A. A. * * * * * Today it is a different story; we cater to the tune of S. I. C. This position has been attained by hard, clean, forceful sports—the kind that makes official sit up and take notice. We are justly proud .of this attainment. Auburn sends one man—Baskin—to the Olympics for the next meet. A bright star. An envious accomplishment, indeed.

The need for hard, conscientious and honest work was indicated. This examination was the first to come under the newly adopted Honor System. A clean and forceful plea for making good this new plan of conducting examinations was effected. A timely and important article it was. * * * * * Again mid-semester examinations are approaching. Even in the course of these fifteen yars the professors have not forgotten how to administer these deathly blows! And now, as of old, is sensed the neew of some hard work—"boneing", to speak collegiately. The Honor System is no longer in force, however we are by no means relieved of our own personal honor. Whether this plan be on our statute-books or not, we should be continuously aware of the fact that we owe to this great institution, to ourselves, and to those who have made it possible for us to be here the very utmost of our own individual honor. Let us glance around and regulate ourselves to this self-standard. Another editorial remark on the slack sph-it from the student body. It stated that the team was lacking the proper support, which was earnestly solicited. * * * * * Today—Well you know how it is!

Amond the southern states Alabama has the third highest index number for farm land values. This is encouraging as it indicates that Alabama enjoys a more stable prosperity than many of the other southern states. The index number of Alabama for 1927 is 145, this means that farm land in Alabama is 45 per cent more valuable today than it was at the outbreak of the world war. There are many reasons why Alabama farm land has made this rise. Alabama has entered upon an industrial era. This makes the land near the cities, towns and mills valuable for truck crops and other things that the wage earners will need and want. Cotton has been displaced in many areas by crops whose market values are somewhat more stable, and cotton prices themselves in the main have been good.

At their weekly luncheon each member of/the Lions Club having a lawn pledged himself to make it green during the Winter; and Italian rye grass will be planted for this purpose. The proposal was made by the city beautiful committee, of which Prof. C. L. Isbell is chairman. Milligan Earnest, another member of the committee, made the proposal for 100 per cent green lawns. At the same time the committee distributed instructions for planting lawn grasses, advising that Italian rye grass seed be planted immediately. Those who want to plan for lawns for next Spring and Summer are advised to use Bermuda. Where there is much shade, English ivy is recommended in place of Bermuda. Carpet grass and white clover are also good Summer lawn plants- where there is sufficient moisture. In the Southern part of the state St. Augustine grass is good. Prof. M. L. Nichols, chairman of the committee of education, and Em mett Sizemore, former president of the club, discussed the proposal of observing a week for the blind. They said that from one-tenth to one-fif-teenth of the population of the United States and Canada are blind and that approximately 50 per cent of the population of these two countries have defective eyesight. Eighty per cent of those who are blrhd today became blind after their twentieth birthdays, they added. „.....-.v.s-...WJVWywK30 fire in this country in a single year.

According to the special'agent the total property loss during 1926, last year available figures could be had, was $560,548,624,000. "This," he said, "is about 10,000,000 dollars less than the previous year's loss record. This is some encouragement, but nothing like the progress we should make against this common enemy of the public—fire carelessness and fire design. Human lives sacrificed to Mo-lock last year were 10,000. This shows a decrease of approximately 34-per cent for the last three years.

THE PLAINSMAN SPORTS Plainsmen Face Howard in Birmingham This Saturday GEORGIA BULLDOGS DOWN TIGERS IN ANNUAL GAME Ingram's Place.Kick In First Quarter Auburn's Lone Tally' After starting out in breath taking fashion, Auburn's Tigers were crushed in the second quarter when the four horsement from Georgia ran wild to score four touchdowns. The Bulldogs that conquered a strong Yale eleven were too much of an assignment for Boozer Pitts' rejuvenated Tigers, who had fought L. S. U. almost to a standstill the week previous after a most disastrous season's beginning. The score is not truly indicative of the terrific fight over in Columbus last Saturday afternoon. The Tigers fought unremittingly against what many are acclaiming as Georgia's greatest football team. As a matter of fact, the Plainsman were leading until shortly after the opening ofthe second quarter by virtue of a goal from placement, booted between the bars from the 20-yard line. The tally stood at 3 to 0 until Coach Woodruff flung his four horsemefiin; fray andthgy ^jfoceeded to go through the touchdown act four times, putting the scttise at 27 to S when the half ended. ; The Tigers excelled in only one department, the Bulldogs seeming off color when it came to kicking the oval. Georgia averaged only 26 yards per boot, which was far below the mark hung up by Crawford and Tamplin for Auburn, who toed the leather a dozen times for an average yardage of 37.

In their initial meet of the season, Coach Wilbur Hutsell's road runners will take on the strong University of Georgia outfit on the campus. This is the first of a series-of dual meets in which the Tiger runners will participate in the near future. The race will start in front of the Library and end in the same place. It will be over a three mile course and will be officiated by Lieut. Leitch. The charges will be to the satisfaction of all, no fees being assessed. The team representing Auburn will be without the three veterans, Col-lum, Morrow and Whigham, due to their graduation and the presence of Walters will be felt due to his injured leg. As to records made by runners in the tryous held during the past week; the runners line up m the .following order: Captain Duncan, Helms, Aldrich, Teague, Mills, Hicks, McLendon and Morrow. These trials were run on a regular five mile course. Georgia's best bet is Robert Young, a sophomore who set a record for the South while in high school. He is classed as one of the best and should succeed in bringing up the Bulldog stock quite a bit. •• All students are urged to come out ' and cheer the boys on' to victory.

Tulane Frosh Beat Auburn Yearlings In Torrid Contest The Tulane freshmen beat Auburn Rats 26 to 6 in a hot battle in New Orleans last week. The heat was terrific and slowed the game up considerably. ,B Tulane displayed a good brand of conw football, and under the. leadrship of \Whatley and Bauer, was ever a stumbling block for the Auburn yearlings., Tulane's quarterback was a star, and took advantage of Auburn's lack of pep and drive. The Tigers fought hard in the first quarter, but slowed up in the latter part of the game. The four Tulane scores were made on four plays that might have been avoided. The first was made on a fumbled punt, and the second on an intercepted pass in the last period, when Whatley caught the pigskin and ran 90 yards fyr touchdown. - The Thj-thWpame on a, forward pass, while the fourth was the result of a fumble from the line of scrimmage. Auburn was rather overconfident when the game started, and slowed up a time or so, and the result was that they lost the game. The whole team showed.however, that they can fight, and by the end of the season will be ready and have enough experience to give somebody a fight for the varsity and the coveted "A". They are just a little inexperienced now. Bell, Chambless, and Capt. Wingo played a driving game in the Auburn backf ield. Bell threw passes and Chambless caught them. Auburn gained much ground on passes^Brown substituting for Armstrong, in the last quarter made some good gains, and caught eight passes while he was in the game. He intercepted a pass and ran 40 yards for a touchdown, to make the only score for the Orange and Blue. . Harkins and Taylor were two more outstanding men for the Plainsmen. Both played a fine game. Dreaden also turned in a good game until he was taken out with a sprained arm. "Let's go little Tigers.'? Some call it mellowness • • SOME say that Camel is the mellowest cigarette ever made.

A few minutes later he intercepted a pass, and ran 80 yards for touchdown. His interference" was jierfect. Tulane made two strong efforts to score, but both were brought to naught. They carried the ball to the ten yard line, but were stopped. Billy Banker, Tulane back, was one of the stars of the Greenies. He was not able to get much yardage, but he twisted and squirmed so much that it took three Commodores to stop him at times. He played a great game. Vandy made many such tackles, but was slowed up due to hot weather. The Vandy linemen were faster on the charge than Tulane, with the ex-ception of the ends Menville was -the outstanding end.

S. U. Tigers beat Miss A. & M. in a spectacular game in Jackson, Miss, last week. The score was 9 to 7. Guy Neesom and his educated toe were responsible for winning the game for the Tigers. The whole game was full of thrills. In the second quarter Godfrey threw a pass for 15 yards and Brown caught, the pigs;kin, and ran 40 yards for touchdown. His interference was perfect. In the fourth quarter Freeman, L. S. U. guard, intercepted a pass, and it was at this time that the Aggies made the field goal which won the game for them. The kick was made by Nesom, and Mason was holding the ball. This only made the Aggies fight harder, for they came back and scor- !ed a touchdown. This was made on two long passes, both Chadwick to McCabe. On the second pass Mc- Cabe caught the ball on the L. S. U. four yard line, and ran across for the touchdown. Chadwick then kicked goal. Mason was the outstanding player of the Tigers, and was always in the plays. He gave the Aggies much to worry over. He outpunted Chadwick on every punt. In the line Nesom, Tinsley, and Weaver were outstanding, while Capt. Godfrey and Haynes played a fine game. Chadwick, passer, kicker, and ap- Mississippi back to stay in the whole game. Capt.

Two line plays netted six yards ,and a pass Peppenheimer to yard to place the ball on the eight-yard line as thejjeriod closed. During the game there was a contest between Brown, and Peppenheimer for outstanding individual GEORGIA TECH The Yellow Jackets won one of the hardest fought games ever witnessed on Grant Field, last week when the ' Tornado beat North Carolina 13 to 0. "Stumpy" Thomason was the star of the occasion. - Georgia Tech deserved every one of those thirteen points, for they were gotten by the sweat of their brow. Twice the Tar Heels got the ball to the one yard line, but the Jackets pulled themselves to gether, and held them for downs, when a touchdown would have meant a tied game. Another time in the first quarter, they held Carolina on the six yard line. It was a experience that Tech does not want to go through again. After the hard fought first quarter, Tech came back in the second quarter and scored the first touchdown. In this period Randolph made two beautiful runs of 25 and 15 yards. Capt. Crowley caught a pass and went over for the touchdown. Thomason then kicked goal. It seemed that this would be the only score that Tech could make. It was near the end of the game when "Stumpy" Thomason broke loose on his twenty-five yard line and ran seventy-five yards for the second and last counter. He failed to kick goal for the extra point. Up until this time Thomason had hot gained much ground, for the Tar Heels were watching him/ North Carolina outpointed the Jackets in all the game except three minutes. In other words Tech won three minutes of the contest and parent leader at the Aggies, was North Carolina fifty-seven. Caro- 1;heir main support.

AT THE TIGER DRUG STORE AND STUDENTSUPPLYSHOP Notes of the Societies WEBSTERIAN The Websterian Literary Society held meetings the last two Tuesday nights, " with a good enthusiastic crowd in attendance. On the 18th. a very interesting debate was given on the subject: "Resolved that Prohibition is a failure." The speakers on the affirmative side were' Miss Bertha Dennis and Rat Beavers while Miss Irene Fletcher and Rat Walter H. Smith upheld the negative. The debate was vesy interesting and we are glad to know that it was decided that Prohibition is not a failure since the negat i v e side won the debate. After the program refreshments were served in the form of sandwiches and lemonade which were enjoyed by all, and a new resolution was made to make our society take a new lease on life and live as it should. On October 25th was the night of initiation of the rats into our society with other attractions. Mr. Hawkins gave an interesting a talk on Capital Punishment, raising a question in our mind if it should be. A very beautiful quartet was rendered by the Mr. Vines, Mr. LeCroy, and Mr. Tidwell which was enjoyed immensely. Charles Rush told us What the Auburn Spirit used to/ be, What it is now, and What it should be. He said that it seemed that it had almost lost its fervor at the first of the year, but that he knew that it was coming back in full force, for the effect of the L. S. U. game proved that if you happened to be on the bleachers that day in Montgomery. He thinks that the unrest on the campus is going to die down and that the same hilarious Auburn Spirit of 10 years ago will be manifested in every corner of the campus, and wherever a friend of Auburn is. A short business meeting was held after which the rats were made members of our society. These freshmen enjoyed it all as much as we did, ariS we know that they are going to be very loyal members. A. S. C. E. The A. S. C. E. held its meeting Monday night, Oct. 24 in Ramsey Hall, at 7:00 P. M. Th'e program consisted of several very interesting discussions. Mr. "Billie" Bond of the Senior Class gave us a short sketch of the lives of two great En gineers. Mr. W. G. McAdoo, a Civil Engineer by profession had charge 4>i the construction of a tunnel under the Hudson river. The construction of this tunnel was a great engineering feat of the time. This was Mr. Mc- Adoo's greatest engineering project, but he has been very prominent in political life since that time. Mr. Herbert Hoover, a well known character of today is also an Engineer, however he is a mining Engineer. Mr. Hoover's greatest engineering work was in China just before the Boxer rebellion. Mr. J. L. Wilson of the Sophomore Class, gave us an interesting talk on "A Civil Engineer called the Father of Aviation". The Wright Bros, who were the first to ever successfully fly by mechanical means, gave this title to Mr. Chanute. Not only did they give the title, but they also gave him all the credit for the invention of the airplane. - Mr. Chanute was elected to the A. S. C. E. in 1868, and was later elected its president. Mr. Dean Fowlkes a Senior gave us a good description of the Cullar's septic tank. Mr. A. V. Blankenship, a member of the Sophomore Class told us about the famous Menai Straits Bridge which has been in use for over one-hundred years and is still in good condition. It is going to be replaced by a concrete structure to take care of the present day traffic whcih requires a larger bridge than the one which is now standing. A rising vote of thanks was given the committee who made possible the smoker last Monday night. Mr. C. E. Smith of the Auburn Engineer staff asked for the support of all engineering and archectural students in making the Auburn Engineer a member of tin C. C. M. A. There being no farther., business the meeting adjourned. as much as possible, and to analyze his plans and. see if he would fit in them.

Mr. Mitchell brought out several major points which have been of great importance in the past development of the transmission of sound. Reclamation df millions of dollars worth of waste products each year has bjeen one of the recent fruits of the chemical profession as stated by Mr. Mitchell. An interesting discussion of the various stages of coal formation and the part played by "Alkaline Roofs" in the formation of Lignite was given by Mr. Kelly. After Mr. Moore discussed the rivalry of Tantalum to Platinum, Mr. Harper discussed the Economic Factors in Chemical Industries. He * pointed out that every man that follows a trade that embraced chemical reactions was not a chemist. He also discussed the supremacy of-the United States in Chemical engineering possibilities. SUBSCRIBE TO THE AUBURN ENGINEER. WIRT The Wirt Society was fortunate indeed to have Professor Rutland, who is an old member of the Wirt, to be the principal speaker at its meeting Tuesday night in Wirt Hall. Professor Rutland told us about the early days of the Wirt, and of, the ways in which the work was carried on then. He commended the Wirt in its work at present, and spoke of the important benefits that can be derived therefrom. Following Professor Rutland's talk a number of impromptu speeches were made. Those making these speeches were: P. S. Alford who chose "Lindbergh" as his subject; John Comer, who briefly sketched the National Dairy Show recently held at Memphis; and Miss Henry, who brought out some very interesting facts dealing with the Greek Drama, arid who told us of the features by which it is characterized. Among the business that was taken up was that relative to the Declamation contest which is well on the way. It was announced that the-try-outs would be held at an early date, the judges for which have already been announced. AUBURN GARAGE R. O. Floyd, Jr., Prop.

He told us in an unresentful manner that we were not making our Society what it should be because we did not show the preparation in delivering our assigned parts. We certainly appreciate Professor Daugherty taking so much interest in our Society. Mr. I. C. Kuykendall gave one of the best talks that has ever been given at the Evans Literary Society. He was especially commended by Professor Daugherty. The subject of Mr. Kuykendall's talk was "A College Is No Better Than Its Football Team." Of course he modified thta statement somewhat, but he gave a wonderful comparison to our present situation on our campus. Miss Williams gave us a very interesting talk on "News Worth While." Not only was it interesting, but it was also educational. It was followed by a talk on "America vs. Lindberg," by Mr. B. L. Martin. We then voted not to have a meeting next time because "Dad" Elliot will speak at the same hour next Tuesday night. We hope that all of" our members will be out to hear him. SOCIAL SCIENCE CLUB The weekly meeting of the club was held in the department of economics Monday evening at seven o'clock. An engaging program was given which caused favorable commendations from a number of the club members. "The Social Problems of the Girls and Boys in 1940," by S. S Tatum proved most interesting. A. D. Hoskiris gave the club some absorbing information on the recent unearthing of a document, written by Michael Notre Dema in the 16th century— prophesy has proven to be cor rect in almost every detail thus far. The truth of the remainder of the presupposition seems logical. The feature of the program was a lecture by Professor England, termed "Where are you going?" He surmised the problems that would confront all college graduates when they graduated:- Where am I going, what are my plans, and why? The soul? tion he suggested was for the man to plan his career before he left college, PICKWICK CAFE New No. 110 Exchange Hotel FRED RIDOLPHI, Proprietor TWO BUCK CROWS THE MOST TALKED ABOUT RECORDS IN AMERICA Done In Inimitable Droll Humor By M0RAN MACK On COLUMBIA NEW PROCESS RECORDS y 935D-Part 1 Part 2 1094D-Part 3 Part 4 Touch Off A Needle To These Screams And Laugh Yourself Out JESSE FRENCH AND SONS PIANO CO.

The Aub«rn Chapter of the_ Society of American Military Engineers held its weekly Meting in the Engineer room on Tuesday night, October 25th, at 7 P. M. The meeting was called to order by the president -ef the society, W. D. Alston^ •'After the reading of the minutes of the*ift*vi-ous meeting the followinffpTogram was rendered: .._ Mr. E. L. Landstreet talked on the construction of quarters for the soldiers who are stationed along the Mexican border. In introducing his speech Mr. Landstreet told of the conditions .under which the men lived on the Bord|ir prior ty 1919. In his speech he brMjjjMb out the plans which were carried o»# in constructing these quarters as*o the distribution of ma terial and men. " These- houses were built of adobe brick along modern lines. Provision was also made for the sanitary disposal of sewerage from the constructed houses. It was also brought out in his speech that these sanitary quarters^ very materially raised the morale of the men who were stationed in them. Mr. A. M. McRae spoke next on the Andersonville, Georgia, National Cemetery. This cemetery is located between Macon and -Americus, Georgia on one of the principal highways. In his speech Mr. McRae brought out It was originally used as a Confederate prison, in ^vhich a great number of Federal prisoners were kept. Due to the very insanitary living conditions inside the prison a great number of the prisoners died and were buried inside the prison, hence the establishment of a National cemetery on this site. Since the Civil war the site has been beautified and monuments have been erected by the various northern states to the memory of their men who died and were buried therein. Mr. J. D. Neeley spoke on the importance of sanitation as is shown by the important part it plays in the good health of a city or town. He also told about how typhoid fever was prevented during the world war by vaccination and how this disease was replaced by an equally undesirable disease, dysentry. He told about how this disease lowered the morale of the soldiers and the manners in which it was contracted through filth. He then brought out the three important elements in proper camp sanitation; the disposal of human waste and other sewerage; the protection of the drtnlcrng water; the protection of the food. Under the first he told of the proper methods of disposing of the sewerage. This was done by observing strict discipline as to the disposal of the various waste matters. He next told of how the drinking water is purified either by chlorina-tion or" by other methods of like nature. Last he told of how the proper protection of food was brought about during the last war by using canned foods. He also told how the men who handled the food in the camps could be responsible for its becoming full of diseases by being negligent in their personal sanitation. Mr. W. R. Kirkwood next told about the modern mine pumping apparatus which he observed during the past summer. He told of the automatic features which controlled it and also of the efficiency of its operation. He also brought out in his talk the efficiency which exists in modern mine operation. Mr. W. C. Hurt, the last speaker on the program, told of the construction and operation of a large gas-electric bus which has been purchased by the Chicago and Alton Railroad to supplement its rail _. service on a ninety mile route out of St. Louis. The motor generator set is driven by a 120 H. P., six cylinder gas engine. The total length of the bus is thirty five feet-six inches. The steering and driving appartus is so constructed as to permit the entire bus to turn, when a turn is started. This gives a sohrt-er turning radius. He also told how the motors were used as brakes to assist the air brakes in retarding the speed of the bus.

AG CLUB Passenger pigeons will no more cover the sky as a thunderstorm according to P. Godsey at the Ag. Club. "Up until 1892 passenger pigeons went in such large coveys t h a t t he sun would • be covered as by a heavy stormcloud" stated Mr. Godsey. 1898. dates the last capture and 1914 dates the last death of these birds. Has Al Smith a chance for Presidency in 1928? Let Mr. Hallman give the answer. "There are two big items in Al's platform that will either make or lose him as President, name» ly; Catholocism and opposition to the 18th amendment. Furthermore, if Mississippi is an indication of the influence of Catholocism, Al will not be nominated. Others think that there will be a split in the Democratic party thereby causing his failure of nomination. Again the opposition of the Ku Klux Klan will be a big determiner of his success or failure. of nomination." Mr. LeCroy said that Dr. Gardner, of the Botany Department, has been precolorfng oranges in South Alabama By a method that he has worked out/in tfce'laboratory. The gases used for precoloring are ethylene and acetylene. Mr. White, the county agent of Clay county, has changed cotton farming for his county to poultry raising according to J. D. Comer. Three hundred people of the county have gone into poultry raising and have flocks ranging from 100 to 300 birds. Some of the largest flock owners realize a business of $25,000 to $35,000 per year.

HUTCHINSON GETS HIGH DEGREE Former Auburn Man is "Honored by Spring Hill FORTY YOUNG PEOPLE SING IN AUDITION One of Auburns most noted and wiley known alumni, is Dr. Miller Reese Hutchinson who graduated rom Alabama Polytechnic Institute in '98 with a degree of E. E. Later the title of Dr. was added to his name when he received the degree of Ph. r at Spring Hill college. Dr. Hutchinson Came to Auburn from Mobile. At the time of his entrance in the the college he was deeply concerned with the transmission of sound under water. He did nothing with this idea, directly but was of great aid in later inventions. After receiving his degree at Auburn he was employed by the Federal government in the Land and Forest Department, and stationed on the Gulf of Mexico. There he had plenty of time to work on his ideas. Deaf people became one of his hobbies, so consequently he began work to aid their affliction. The result was the "Ackerphone", which is now known to the world as the "Acousti-can." The Queen of England on hearing of this marvelous invention, sent for him to aid her. The Queen being practically totally deaf. He proved himself and his invention to be masters and in this mannfr he won his world-wide fame. Thomas A. Edison being interested in sound also, called him to his laboratory immediately on his arrival back into the States. From then until the present time Dr. Hutchinson has been known as, "Edisons right hand man." During the war Dr. Hutchinson was constantly at Edisons side, giving his expert advice and help to any question arising in his mind. As time went by Dr. Hutchinson advanced.

ELLIOT TO CONDUCT SERIES MEETINGS HERE (Continued from page one) The first student conference at Lake Geneva was held in 1895, at which time "Dad" Elliot was a delegate from the Grand Prairie Seminary at Onarga, 111. After graduation, from that institution, he entered the Northwestern College of Liberal Arts where he played on the varsity football squad, and in his third year (1901) he was named All Western End. "Dad" won an enviable record as a clean sportman. For two years he was president of the local college Y. M. C. A., and was active in other Christian work on the campus. His popularity among the students was attested by the fact that at the close of his Junior year he was signally honored by election to Deru, a senior Wi»i«rary fraternity. After graduation from Northwestern in^02, "Dad" Elliot won for himself a larger field of service by the success of his program as Religious Work Secretary of the Brooklyn Christian Association, and in 1907 he was given a station in the Middle West where he has been located since that time. The students of America commissioned "Dad" Elliot in 1924 to' carry a message of good-will and friendship to the students of the Orient. Visiting Japan, China, and the Phillippines, he addressed thousands of students who eagerly came to hear his prophetic messages. v The students of Auburn are looking eagerly to the time that they can listen to and be inspired by this student leader, and feel highly honored that they can have "Dad" Elliot with them.

PROFESSORS TURN STUDENTS; ATTEND EDUCATION TALKS told the faculty of some methods to make classroom teaching procedure more effective. The improvement of tests and written examinations was the subject of his second lecture in which he pointed out that tests served better to show how much the instructor had failed to teach the student than it did to indicate the student's knowledge of the subject.. In the third lecture a good teaching personality was discussed, and on the last day the improvement of teachers in service was Dr. McClusky's topic. "The secret of good teaching is to keep alive*; and to keep alive one must constantly grow," says Dr. McClusky. No'college professor can allow himself to "get in the rut" and hope to interest his students in his -subject. Constant study and experimentation with new methods of teaching is essential to the instructor's growth. The colleges today are endeavoring to teach too great a variety of subject matter, is the feeling of Dr. McClusky. It would be much better to cut the list of courses in half and AUBURN MAN PUBLISHES BOOK ON POPULISM (Continued from Page 1.) fundamental aspects of the commonwealth which gave birth to Populism; (2) a history of the .organizations, economic and political, upon which the Populist part was founded; (3) a study of the workings of the Populists as an organized political force; (4) reasons for the passing of the party; and (5) an evaluation of the significance of the movement upon the state's history."

In addition to the lectures many departmental conferences were held to discuss the improvement of instructional methods in the various subjects.

Then, by a change of instructional method the remaining half of the college course could really be learned by the student. In this connection Dr. McClusky emphasized the fact that the success of a college instructor is measured by the amount of work and study that he is able to provoke from his students. It does not matter what the instructor dqes so long as he succeeds in getting his students to work. The function of our schools, says Dr. McClusky, should be merely to equip the student with certain fundamental skills such as correct speech, habits of study and ability to think in order that he may then educate himself by his own'endeavor.

TIGER vs BULL DOG THE PLAINSMAN TIGER vs BULL DOG TO FOSTER THE AUBURN SPIRIT VOLUME LI AUBURN, ALABAMA, FRIDAY, OCTOBER 28, 1927 NUMBER 8 EPISCOPALIANS IN CONFERENCE IN GATE CITY Many Colleges Send in Representatives AUBURN PRAISED BY REV. C. L, GLENN Problems of College Students is Main Subject A number of Auburn students attended the conference for Episcopal college students, in Atlanta on Saturday and Sunday of last week. The main feature of the conference was to discuss the problems of a college stQdent. The delegates that attended were housed and entertained by the Georgia Tech chapter of the Episcopal college students. The conference was opened on Saturday morning by Biskop H. J. Mikell and continued until Sunday evening at four o'clock when it closed with the report of the findings committee. This committee was composed of Rev. A S. Lawrence of the University of North Carolina, Rev. Melville John son, University of Florida, Emile Bragoff of University of Louisville, Miss Janet Botts of Converse College and Wilson Newman of Clemson. There were a number of social features on the program as the delegates were guests at lunch of the All Saints Church at All Saints Parish House. Again on Sunday morning breakfast was served in honor of the guests. Thru the courtesy of the Georgia Tech Athletic association the visiting students were taken to the Georgia Tech-North Carolina game at Grant Field. On Satudray night in a one hour conference the students studied Church and Campus, preceded by an address by Rev. C. Leslie Glenn of New York. It was arranged at this time with Rev. Glenn for him to speak to the Auburn ehapter of Episcopal students. There were a number of colleges represented namejly, University o)f North Carolina, St. Mary's School, North Carolina State College, Louisiana State College, Winthrop College, University of Alabama, Converse college, Tulane, Agnes Scott, Georgia Tech, Auburn, University of Florida, and others.

No article will be published which is submitted later than 9 a. m. Wednesday preceding data of issue. Professors Turn Students; Attend Education Talks The tables have turned! The professors and instructors at the Alabama Polytechnic Institute last week became students again and attended classes as they used to do in their undergraduate days. Like students they attended lectures, took notes and asked questions. These professors listened attentively to their instructor, though and none of them slept while the classes were in session. Keeping abreast with the times with regard to the latest discoveries in the most effective methods of teaching college students, and in line with the national movement among Land Grant colleges in the United States to improve the quality of the instruction offered, President Spright Dowell for the second year has brought to the Alabama Polytechnic Institute an eminent educator for the purpose of delivering lectures on the latest developments in the .field of college instruction. This progressive move on the part of Dr. Dowell has received the vigorous approval of the faculty members. To this end Dr. F. D. McClusky, associate director of the Scarborough school in New York gave a series of lectures during the past week which was attended by practically the en- (Continued on Page 6.)

We are al) familiar with the slogan 99 and 44-100 per cent pure as advertised by the manufacturer of Ivory Soap. Well, the co-eds were 99 44-100 per cent present at the Georgia-Auburn combat last Saturday. On the streets of Columbia and at the stadium they proudly wore the famous Orange and Blue. When the ball went sailing through the goal posts to make Auburn's score of three points the coeds were cheering as hard, or perhaps a little harder than any of the rest. However*" they did not stop here, for until the final whistle blew you could hear the familiar cry. of "eat 'em up, Tigers," or "hold that line," on the Rps of every co-ed present. They returned from the annual battle a tired but proud group still cheering and backing the fighting Tigers. REV. LESLIE GLENN IS SPEAKER HERE New York Men Addresses St. Pauls' Club Monday Rev. Leslie Glenn of New York City, Student Secretary of the National Council of Episcopal Students, was the speaker at a meeting of Saint Paul's Club of the Episcopal Church on Monday evening October 24th. Before studying for the ministry Rev. Glenn graduated from Stephens Tech and his theme was introduced with a discussion of applied mechanics. He spoke of the ^nany types of perpetual motion machines presented for inspection during his engineering course and of the men who spend the major portion of their lives trying to perfect a machine that will run indefinitely without a renewal of any outside help or influence. Such a machine is impossible because it is opposed to the laws of physics and mechanics. "It is the same way with spiritual as well as physical life", said Rev. Glenn. "There mtfet be something continually coming in from the outside to supply used-up energy. Mar- (Continued on Pags 0.) A. J. ELLIOT TO CONDUCT SERIES MEETINGS HERE "Dad" Elliot i s Y. M. C. A Speaker For Services Here IS OLD FOOTBALL STAR A. J. "Dad" Elliot, a one time All Western end on the Northwestern University football team, a holder of many honorary titles, a man who is devoutly religious, a leader and prophet for college students, and known by students the world over, is to spend three of his ten days stay in the South at Auburn, November 1-3, when he will conduct Evangelistic Services for the Students. For the past eighteen years "Dad" Elliot has been executive had of stu dent work in the nine states- comprising th Central Region, and as leader of the Lake Geneva Conference, has been able to kindle spiritual power in more than eighteen hundred students each year who in turn have gone to the uttermost parts of the earth as pioneers for a more perfect social order. (Continued on Page 6.) CO-EDS UP IN ARMS AT EMORY RULING Council Bars Women Student* From Swimming Pool Coeds at Emory university are up in arms because the athletic council has ruled that they will be barred from the campus swimming pool when it is reopened next spring. So says the Emory Wheel, weekly student publication, in its current issue, which quotes two of those affected. "Since coeds are not given equality in such activities at Emory, we ought to be allowed to go in swimming," the Wheel quotes Kiss Frances Cross-well, freshman, as saying. "Most of us can swim as well as boys and it is certainly depriving us of a great pleasure." Miss Ella May Hollingsworth, who entered Emory, this fall as a junior, is quoted by the Wheel as saying: "They don't seem to want to give us equality. I don't agree at all to the statement that it is unfair to the boys. It's fair to the girls." Coincidentally with this outburst, President Harvey W. Cox has announced that plans have been completed by architects for covering the pool and heating it for winter smim-ming. STATE METHODIST PUPILS ORGANIZE Officers Will Be Chosen at February Meeting of Delegate* The Methodist Students Association of Alabama met for its second southern conference at Birmingham Southern College Feb. 17-19, it has been announced by the executive committee of the group, which organized Saturday on the Hilltop campus with 25 representatives present from five institutions. The colleges reprsented were the University of Alabama, Auburn, Alabama College, Jacksonville State Nor-imfPand Birmingham Southern. At the conference in February every Methodist college and state institution in Alabama will be represented. The executive committee appointed to draw up a constitution and prepare a program for the February meeting, when officers will be chosen, is composed of chairman, B. M. Murphree, of the university; C. W. Thompson, Jacksonville Normal; W. T. Edwards, AuDurn; Aloise Hurd, Montevallo and H. K. Barnes, Birmingham Southern. ; The methodist pastors at cities where the institutions are located were represented as follows: Rev. U: S. Pftts, University of Alabama; O. D. Langston, Auburn; J. B. McFer-rin Rice, Montevallo, and Dr. Claude Orear, Birmingham Southern. . The delegates of the new collegiate organization were entertained by Birmingham Southern following the conference by a luncheon in the college cafeteria. Engineer's First Issue Of Year Is Excellent Number This month's issue of the Auburn Engineer is one of the best numbers that has been produced since the beginning of its publication, something over two years ago. A very interesting article by Edgar R. Hauser, e.e. '29 on "The Electric Transient Analysis by Means of Oscillograph", appeared in this issue. It may be interesting to note that this was the winning article in the Eta Kappa Nu Slide Rule Contest of last year. Another article that should be of particular interest to Freshmen and Sophomores who plan to continue military training in their Jnuior and Senior years, was a sketch of the R. 0. T. C. camp activities at Fort Benning, during the past summer. A technical article on the construction of Spar Bridges was well received by its readers and contains numerous hints that should prove beneficial to engineers. "Developing a Pleasing Personality", an article Dr. Charters brought out many points that, if followed, would indeed develop an ideal personality. Also quite a bit of news about our Alumni is to be found in this number. A page under the title of "Technical Tidbits" contains a number of short, interesting articles on the various activities of the world, and should be of interest to all. "Campus Notes", is a new feature of the Auburn Engineer began this month. A page under this title will appear each month containing interesting news about the various activities going on about the campus. A very appropriate display of the Auburn Engineer was put on last week in. one of the. show windows of the Student Supply Shop. The purpose of this display-was to remind the students that Auburn has an engineering mazazine and to urge them to subscribe to it. Rings Selected By Committees For Two Classes The senior ring committees of both the senior and the junior class have received bids and have let contracts for their rings. The Senior committee with Mr. Bolton Shotts as chairman has signed a contract with Elliott & Company of Philadelphia. The Junior committee has given their contract to Klein & Sons of Montgomery. These companies are now ready to supply the students and the committees urge that the rings be purchased as soon as possible. NOTICE! All reporters for both literary and technical societies must have their articles in no later than 9 a. m. Wednesday preceeding date of issue. No article will be published which is not typewritten and double spaced and signed. FORTY YOUNG PEOPLE SING IN AUDITION State Contest Held Here At Station WAPI WINNERS GO TO ATLANTA Forty young Alabama singers, presumably the best in the state from more than twenty towns, representing by districts all sections, stood before the microphone in Station WAPI at Auburn last Friday and Saturday nights and sang for fame and fortune in the Alabama State Contest in the National Radio Audition which the Atwater Kent foundation is conducting throughout America. Two of them, one boy and one girl, emerged as state champions to represent Alabama in the District Audition to be broadcast over Sat-tion W.S.B. in Atlanta, November 22 and 23, when they wil lcompete with champions of the other nine southern and southeastern states which make up the audition district No. three.

Cline and Bailey early this week will announce plans for a contest, the object of which will be to select a name for the publication. Plans for the comic magazine have been under way since early in the 1925-26 school year, but only lately have means and talent been found which could finance and turn out such a publication. Editors and members of the proposed staff are studying other college comics in preparation for the first number. H. M. Dobbs, Jr., the business man iger, is a nephew of Miss Zoe Dobbs, Dean of Women, at Auburn. "Let's Go" is Title Of Band Show To Be Presented Here , Plans for the Auburn band show, which has been given the title "Let's Go" are rapidly nearing completion and there is every indication of a snappy production being presented. The Glee club, Mandolin club, Orchestra, and Band are all taking part in this performance and they will endeavor to present all the different phases of college life. "Let's Go" is to be staged in a professional manner, there being a number of new and novel sets and effects which are to be designed in keeping with the modern collegiate spirit. Practice for the' show has already begun and plans for five acts have been completed. The show is to be given November 21, and 22, tickets going on sale about November first.

FACULTY MEMBERS DOCTOR THOMAS Doctor Thomas, our school physician, has made a wonderful record during his term of office here. He proudly boasts the fact that his batting average is .666, having to his credit twice as many . recoveries as fatilities. Doctor Thomas was born in the year 1889, the same year, you will remember, that Lydia E. Pinkham made her gift to humanity. He was christened Benjamin Franklin, because of his tendency at an early age to be a live-wire. He later proved his name to be well chosen by becoming an adept at the art of kite-flying. After finishing the grammar and high schools, Benjie reflected as to his life work. Now all his life Benjie had been a great whittler, using the pocket knife in a manner that • would befit any grocery-store artist. On this account he decided to take up medicine. He entered a well known medical school and after many years of hard labor he received the degree of M. D. (Miserable Doctor or Doctor of Misery). He then came to Auburn where he has practiced (on us) for the last several.years. Besides his position as school physician, Doctor Thomas is local representative for the Hacksum Saw and Chisel Company of Lansing, Michigan. He also indorses Parkham's Pink Pills for Pale People, he himself being a living example of their quality. The Doctor's younger brother, Victor, is the junior partner of the firm Crepe and Thomas, local undertakers, who have done a thriving business during the past several years. As a side line, the Doctor tries his hand at inventions. He is now working on a manuscript lie detector, which when placed,over writing will detect whether it istruthful. This is to be used on the sick list as soon as it 1B completed. It is of the greatest interest to our institution to note the rise and accomplishments of an Auburn graduate. Dr. John B. Clark, a native of Marion, Alabama and an Auburn alumnus, has attained phenomenal success in college educational work. After an unusually brilliant college career, Dr. Clarke obtained a B. S. Degree at Auburn in 1907. In 1910 he received an A. M. Degree at Van-derbilt, and another at Harvard in 1911. In 1922 he completed his residence work for a Ph. D. Degree at Columbia University and in 1926 he received his Ph. D. Degree from New York University. From 1920 to 1927, excepting the years 1924 to 1926, Dr. Clarke was head of the department of Economics at Auburn. During these years of service to our college, he was highly respected by both the student body and the faculty. At the beginning of the present school term Dr. Clark left Auburn to become Dean and Professor of Economics and History at Judson College. During the past week his thesis, written in partial fulfillment of the requirements for the Degree of Doctor of Philosophy at New York University, was published at Auburn. The name of this work is "Populism in Ala fbama" (1874-1896.) The cotatents of this book may be summed up briefly under the folowingjieads: (1) the (Continued on Pag* 6.) AUBURN TIGERS DETERMINED TO DOWN HOWARD Shotts Not in Lineup On Account of Injuries AUBURN NEVER DOWNED BY TEAM FROM EAST LAKE Tigers Out For Blood After Defeat by Georgia Following the defeat handed the Tigers at the hands of the strong Bulldog aggregation in Columbus last Saturday, Pitts & Co., are determined to make the count Even Steven; as far as the Bulldogs are-concerned. The Howard pups are her* aided as one of the strongest outfits ever assembled by any S. I. A. A. College and boast of the fastest backfield runners in that class. Incidentally, this miracle backfield goes by the name of "the four B's". Mr. Billy Bancroft, sprinter, is the chief threat and has had two previous chances to pierce an Auburn line, but has never been able to stand the gaff in a Tiger affray. Lets hope he doesn't see the entire -sixty minutes in this fray. During the scrimmages this past week, considerable force was placed in the backfield. Murray "Biff" Hoffman, former end was shifted to fullback post during the absence of Shotts. He has plenty of beef and should go well. And with Mike Fisher and Snitz Snyder ready once more to carry the oval, a real offensive game should be in vogue. Both Fisher and Snider were out of the Georgia battle due to injuries, but are now on the O. K. list again. Last year, it was these two lads that crumbled all hopes the Howard club ever had of winning whan they were inserted during the second half. Howard was then leading 13-7. But Snitz and Mike thought it a track meet and ran up four touchdowns so fast that Birmingham became ashamed of themselves. For it seems that Birmingham is simply living to see a Birmingham eleven trounce a Tiger outfit, something that has never been done. And won't! Howard's plays were in full force on Drake field during the past week's scrimmages and looked fairly well, but the line got on to them very fast and succeeded in cogging up all holes and leaks. The line should be even more vulnerable this week than it was in Montgomery against L. S. U. Spinks is back in the game again and will add considerably to the strength He was out the past week with a bad hip. Bolton Shotts will not likely see much action as he is still suffering from an injury suffered last Saturday. But his position is well fortified with Granger, Sellers and Hoffman running his post. The line-up will very likely be as it was last week-end. The fast backs have returned and much speed is expected by all. Let's all be at the matinee and yell as if we were at Rickwood Field. Back that Team! YOUNG PEOPLES' UNION MEETING Three Organization* Unite at Methodist Church Sunday The Epworth League, B. Y. P.

Alabama Schools Get Check Monday Railroads Tax Money Goes to U. of A. and Montevallo The University of Alabama and also Alabama College received checks for more than one-hundred-thousand dollars Monday afternoon, this amount represents the appropriations made by the state for the suport of the institutions for a period of three months beginning October 1st. The University was given $83,151.44 and Alabama College $46,905.94. Governor Graves stated that these payments were possible at this time because the railroads had paid the license tax of two and one half percent of gross receipts before it became delinquent. The Alabama Power Company, which is required to pay a kilowatt tax, has not yet made a remittance to the treasurer. The Frisco Railway announced that the payment of their tax which amounted to $22,639.98 was made under protest.

Taylor - Gradly Mosley Ass't Business Mgr. _ Advertising Manager Ass't. Advertising Mgr. Ass't. Circulation Mgr. . Ass't. Circulation Mgr. The foundation of any business is honesty. We are judged by our higher points, not at low tide. Today's progress is founded on the triumphs of the living dead. Exercise those finer qualities in your character for exercise develops them. Talent alone is vastly insufficient for ones success in a profession. There is the person equation that must be solved after training has been considered. From all appearances it is evident that the co-eds gave bodily support to the team last Saturday. It is reasonable to suppose that the enormous wait crushed many hearts. The nearest approach to perpetual motion is when an error is made. It goes on and on and being blocked by a stronger force may never be totally destroyed. IT IS INTERESTING TO NOTE THAT: —The Auburn representatives attending the Baptist Student's Convention at Monte-vallo recently are safely and singly back on the campus again! An unintentionally overheard conversation emerging from the Y office Wednesday afternoon ran thus: "If somebody gave me ten dollars I'-d go straight to Monte-vallo." Why to Montevallo? The speech of Montevallo's President in upperclassman convocation Thursday was greatly enjoyed. In an effort to prove our appreciation of his appearance here, we suggest that our students be allowed to return the favor by staging individual speeches on his campus! Some out-of-town observer has been reading the newspaper. He suggests that every Rat here be sentenced to the penitentiary for the mild expression of their enthusiasm just after a recent mass meeting. Georgia didn't have twelve horsemen, rather than just four. We can let bygones be bygones—but watch out Howard! There arises a difficult question in the thought of which course will be easiest to fail; and too, which prof will have the most fun preparing mid-semester quizzes. Pretty soon, perhaps, there'll be a change in the weather. Behind the darkest course, there lies a darker one! Though when it's passed—ain't it a grand and glorious feeling? We can hardly find reason for cutting a "bull session" in order to prepare an ap- ' proaching recitation. Pretty soon we hope to be given quality points on attending these expounding parties. Convocation period is' the life of business for the magazine dealer. Groans of complaint issuing from drousy students are common during lecture periods; they complain of being robbed of pleasant sleep by the chatter of the Prof. The Army football team has suffered heavy losses this year by losing six men from the frist string squad because of classroom deficiences.' FRESHMAN SPIRIT Much time has passed since the opening of college and with it we have lost much of the freshness and attention to some of the important, things in our life here. It is apparent to many of us that the freshman spirit is on the decline. There are too few rat caps being worn and smoking rules are not being observed in the stricter sense. One never hears a 'war eagle' or other familiar cry now. We realize that those of the older set are-inclined to believe that conditions are not what they were 'back in the .good old days' and we agree that things are not what they should be. <. Hazing is one of\the best things that has ever been introduced into the collegiate world. Like everything else it has been carried to the extreme in a few isolated cases. On the other hand it is not recorded how many men it has made. One who has been in college for some time can help but endorse the snobbish eliminator. Ratting is used by upperclassmen to subdue the know-it-all attitude of many men that swarm into our colleges each year. Such a system is probably the best way to rid the subject of the superiority complex. It is regretful that some of the upperclassmen .cannot be subjected to some of the rules. Many men come to college with the wrong viewpoint. They undoubtedly have their attitude considerably righted by under: going hazing and being subjected to regulations. It is needless to say that this noticeable indifference to the rules is the fault of the upperclassmen. Such a laxness should not be tolerated. The vigilance committee asks your cooperation and in obeying these regulations and in seeing that those rules set fourth by the student body are rigidly enforced. CLASS MEMORIALS At many of the older institutions it has been the custom for each class to contribute something to perpetuate their memory. This practice is one that adds materially to the college andshould be revived here at Auburn. During past years certain notable classes have placed on our campus gifts that have proven beautiful and useful. This custom is one thing since laid aside by succeeding class groups. - In some colleges it is a long established tradition for classes to leave an ever present reminder to their posterity that the class as a whole, were interestd enough in their alma mater to contribute something to its material wealth and beauty. A south eastern college has its campus adorned with several imposing entrance gates. One post each year has been presented by the senior class of that year. In this way no over burden has been placed on the class treasury. The ceremonies connected with the presentation and erection of these memorials are outstanding campus events and have come to be traditional in the life of that college. Some action should be taken by the senior class in regard to the^ presentation of an appropriate gift to the institution. It need not be unduly expensive to be beautiful nor of large proportions to be effective. Certainly the time for the presentation of a suitable mmorial is now and the donors should be the class of twenty eight. WASTED GENIUS One of the great evils of the college today is that the student does not think. This may be attributed to the heavy duies of the, student, nevertheless there are a few who have labored under adverse circumstances. Is it that there is too little original thinking in our institutions of higher learning today)? Have we departed from the age of 'studious cloisters'? With reference to the conditions as they exist in a number of the higher institutions the New Student says: "Have you a solution to the world's evils against which you rebel? Are you a genius?' "If you cannot solve the world's ills, and if you are not a genius don't rebel. You'll get kicked out of college, all right, but no one will crown you, unless it's an offended president or student. "The Roundup, of the New Mexico A. & M. college, has brought the whole problem of college kick-outs, down to this: 'there is no advantage in rebelling against the present order unless you are absolutely convinced that you have a solution to the evils against whcih you rebel" and "The past seems to prove that only genius can rebel and come out on top. When the average person is expelled because of dissipation, lack of interest in things scholastic, and general flagrancy, it is only best for the majority, and does not place a crown on. the victim.' "The New Student advises all students considering getting kicked out of college to take intelligence tests. All failing to score at least 189 had better go back to the books and sweat rebellion out of their souls. They will have to give up hope of joining the company of Shelley, Locke and Gibbon, et. al, but that disappointment should be mitigated somewhat by the prospects of en-shrinement with the successes in, Who's Who." DISCIPLINE IN COLLEGE The word "discipline" is defined in the dictionary as "treatment .suited to a disciple or learner; training; drill. What is its application to life at Auburn? The college was' founded upon discipline. Through some limitation and extortion an organization was formed and developed into what was known as a college or place of learning, where, by means of discipline the students were taught a knowledge of so "mpractical subject. A faculty was organized' and disciplined, that is the members cooperated under certain rules. The students Came to college and were instructed by means of regulations which were new to the student but by no means unjust. This process has continued to evolve through the years up to the present date. • What is the purpose of discipline? From the "definition we note that it is a "treatment or training SUITED to the learner." It is not a^law that is unadvisable or radical but is suited to the learner. Prejudice for any one person or group of persons did not actuate its establishment but on the contrary a motive of helpfulness for the one osubjected. Suppose that a child is born into a family and taught practically nothing in regard to behavior, politeness or manners. Suppose he is not taught to receive instructions from those superior in age. When this extreme protegee meets the world and enters society he cannot begin immediately to receive instruction or inform anyone else for he has had training in none of these practices at home. For the same reason a college must have discipline. Experience has shown that a man must first be able to receive instruction or inform anyone else for he has had training in none of these practices at home. For the same reason a college must have discipline. Experience has shown that a man must first be able to receive instruction before he can reach a position from which he can extract any duty from others. Unless he can do this he is useless to the world and humanity, for which man was virtually created. i f then the suggestion may arise that certain functions of the college are governed under too severe a "law" or regulation we should but realize that they were created for the individual benefit of those subjected. A summation might be: Be able to receive instruction through a "suitable treatment" in order to give instruction in later life. Book Review CHAINS: LESSER NOVELS AND SHORT STORIES In 1926 Theodore Dreiser published An American Tragedy, which has been considered as one of the peaks in American writing. This year he has published a collection of short stories under the common name of Chains; published by Boni and Liveright, New York. The name Chains refers to one of the stories in the collection, and indicates, also, what Dreiser calls "the inevitabilities of our fate." This is not Mr. Dreiser's first venture into short story writing. Previous to Chains, he had published Free and Other Stories and Twelve Men, which had done much to establish his reputation as one of the foremost modern writers even before the American Tragedy won its recognition. In this latest collection, he continues his efforts to portray characters struggling against the forces of life which determine their existence. As a short story writer, he is most successful in the plain narration of the story, least successful when he attempts to draw his conclusions and to be subtle. His foreword, "The inevitabilities of our fate are: Love and hope, fear and death, interwoven with our lacks, inhibitions, pealousies and greeds," is true enough and, in effect at least, has been said before,' but after all what does it mean? One must get the effect of his stories from the impression created by the whole narrative; he does not give it by any one well turned sentence. - •; .."".''..'...''..' Yet the whole tone and subject matter of the stories is a result of the conclusions voiced in the foreword. Although the tone of the foreword sounds as if the attitude might be pessimistic and cynical in the extreme, the attitude taken is rather that these inevitabilities are noth through any fault of the person; so we must, and he does, feel a sympathy for those who are unable to meet difficulties and overcome them, even though his feeling to make him fail to see the situation as it is. He has even more of a sense of the futility of struggle than has Conrad, and like Conrad, believes that man's greatness lies in his struggle to overcome difficulties which are not to be overcome. One is surprised at the patience with which he regards his people. With all of his fatalism, he has a feeling of sympathy for those who are making the struggle which makes us forget his apparent pessimism and to see only the greatness of the struggle. It doesn't do much good to have people pulling for you when-you have a rope around your neck. THE CALENDAR Sunday. Who said that the Kappa Delta was the lesser of the four evils? Monday.

They will be calling their social teas, smokers. * * * * * In a recent report based on the study of fourteen large universities, including the University of North Carolina, the highest grade in discipline went to Carolina, so asserted Dr. A. H. Patterson, in his second lecture on "The Spiritual Values of the University." Dr. Patterson said that a certain book of fifty years ago showed a request from, the University that the officials of the town keep the constable off the campus, lest he be hurt. - He compared that condition with the#present state of discipline in the University,-and expressed great satisfaction.

Birmingham, October 25, (1912). In the annual battle today at Rickwood Park, the Agricultural and Mechanical College of Mississippi went down in defeat before the Orange and Blue Tigers of Auburn, by the score of 7-0. * * * * * _ Today the mighty Tigers from the old Orange and "Blue Station meet the Howard Bulldogs at Rickwood. Their opposition may prove a bit interesting but of course the scoring won't be held as close against us as that quoted above. And we still remember that Billy is with them this year. The Plainsman will meet the Miss A. and M. Aggies in Birmingham at a later date. We are going good for an even more decisive victory this season. Auburn's track team journeys to the Alabama-Fair at Montgomery, to compete with other colleges of the South. Gaum, coach; Beutell, captain. * * * * * Laurels were doubtless won in this meet, as has become a second nature with Auburn on the cinder path. No competitive meets have been held so far this season; however, they are just ahead. And Auburn bids fair to cop a large portion of the awards in this sport this season. "The Tiger never fails to make tracks!" and prominent ones. At this Montgomery meeting the Tigers sprinted under the flags of S. I. A. A. * * * * * Today it is a different story; we cater to the tune of S. I. C. This position has been attained by hard, clean, forceful sports—the kind that makes official sit up and take notice. We are justly proud .of this attainment. Auburn sends one man—Baskin—to the Olympics for the next meet. A bright star. An envious accomplishment, indeed.

The need for hard, conscientious and honest work was indicated. This examination was the first to come under the newly adopted Honor System. A clean and forceful plea for making good this new plan of conducting examinations was effected. A timely and important article it was. * * * * * Again mid-semester examinations are approaching. Even in the course of these fifteen yars the professors have not forgotten how to administer these deathly blows! And now, as of old, is sensed the neew of some hard work—"boneing", to speak collegiately. The Honor System is no longer in force, however we are by no means relieved of our own personal honor. Whether this plan be on our statute-books or not, we should be continuously aware of the fact that we owe to this great institution, to ourselves, and to those who have made it possible for us to be here the very utmost of our own individual honor. Let us glance around and regulate ourselves to this self-standard. Another editorial remark on the slack sph-it from the student body. It stated that the team was lacking the proper support, which was earnestly solicited. * * * * * Today—Well you know how it is!

Amond the southern states Alabama has the third highest index number for farm land values. This is encouraging as it indicates that Alabama enjoys a more stable prosperity than many of the other southern states. The index number of Alabama for 1927 is 145, this means that farm land in Alabama is 45 per cent more valuable today than it was at the outbreak of the world war. There are many reasons why Alabama farm land has made this rise. Alabama has entered upon an industrial era. This makes the land near the cities, towns and mills valuable for truck crops and other things that the wage earners will need and want. Cotton has been displaced in many areas by crops whose market values are somewhat more stable, and cotton prices themselves in the main have been good. Better roads and schools have also played an important the farm land price, ranking the ten &-£• the.

At their weekly luncheon each member of/the Lions Club having a lawn pledged himself to make it green during the Winter; and Italian rye grass will be planted for this purpose. The proposal was made by the city beautiful committee, of which Prof. C. L. Isbell is chairman. Milligan Earnest, another member of the committee, made the proposal for 100 per cent green lawns. At the same time the committee distributed instructions for planting lawn grasses, advising that Italian rye grass seed be planted immediately. Those who want to plan for lawns for next Spring and Summer are advised to use Bermuda. Where there is much shade, English ivy is recommended in place of Bermuda. Carpet grass and white clover are also good Summer lawn plants- where there is sufficient moisture. In the Southern part of the state St. Augustine grass is good. Prof. M. L. Nichols, chairman of the committee of education, and Em mett Sizemore, former president of the club, discussed the proposal of observing a week for the blind. They said that from one-tenth to one-fif-teenth of the population of the United States and Canada are blind and that approximately 50 per cent of the population of these two countries have defective eyesight. Eighty per cent of those who are blrhd today became blind after their twentieth birthdays, they added. „.....-.v.s-...WJVWywK30 fire in this country in a single year.

"A new arson law which has just been passed in 12 states of the union, including Alabama, I look upon as one of the most effective preventive-methods ever devised.

Oct. 9 to IB was fire prevention week for 1927 and was observed throughout the country by special drives againsffire waste and destruction of lives and property by flames. According to the special'agent the total property loss during 1926, last year available figures could be had, was $560,548,624,000. "This," he said, "is about 10,000,000 dollars less than the previous year's loss record. This is some encouragement, but nothing like the progress we should make against this common enemy of the public—fire carelessness and fire design. Human lives sacrificed to Mo-lock last year were 10,000. This shows a decrease of approximately 34-per cent for the last three years. This, too, is very encouraging, but it is criminal to think of that many lives being sacrificed to carelessness with DR. C. L. BOYD, D. DENTIST D- S.

THE PLAINSMAN SPORTS Plainsmen Face Howard in Birmingham This Saturday GEORGIA BULLDOGS DOWN TIGERS IN ANNUAL GAME Ingram's Place.Kick In First Quarter Auburn's Lone Tally' After starting out in breath taking fashion, Auburn's Tigers were crushed in the second quarter when the four horsement from Georgia ran wild to score four touchdowns. The Bulldogs that conquered a strong Yale eleven were too much of an assignment for Boozer Pitts' rejuvenated Tigers, who had fought L. S. U. almost to a standstill the week previous after a most disastrous season's beginning. The score is not truly indicative of the terrific fight over in Columbus last Saturday afternoon. The Tigers fought unremittingly against what many are acclaiming as Georgia's greatest football team. As a matter of fact, the Plainsman were leading until shortly after the opening ofthe second quarter by virtue of a goal from placement, booted between the bars from the 20-yard line. The tally stood at 3 to 0 until Coach Woodruff flung his four horsemefiin; fray andthgy ^jfoceeded to go through the touchdown act four times, putting the scttise at 27 to S when the half ended. ; The Tigers excelled in only one department, the Bulldogs seeming off color when it came to kicking the oval. Georgia averaged only 26 yards per boot, which was far below the mark hung up by Crawford and Tamplin for Auburn, who toed the leather a dozen times for an average yardage of 37.

Tulane Frosh Beat Auburn Yearlings In Torrid Contest The Tulane freshmen beat Auburn Rats 26 to 6 in a hot battle in New Orleans last week. The heat was terrific and slowed the game up considerably. ,B Tulane displayed a good brand of conw football, and under the. leadrship of \Whatley and Bauer, was ever a stumbling block for the Auburn yearlings., Tulane's quarterback was a star, and took advantage of Auburn's lack of pep and drive. The Tigers fought hard in the first quarter, but slowed up in the latter part of the game. The four Tulane scores were made on four plays that might have been avoided. The first was made on a fumbled punt, and the second on an intercepted pass in the last period, when Whatley caught the pigskin and ran 90 yards fyr touchdown. - The Thj-thWpame on a, forward pass, while the fourth was the result of a fumble from the line of scrimmage. Auburn was rather overconfident when the game started, and slowed up a time or so, and the result was that they lost the game. The whole team showed.however, that they can fight, and by the end of the season will be ready and have enough experience to give somebody a fight for the varsity and the coveted "A". They are just a little inexperienced now. Bell, Chambless, and Capt. Wingo played a driving game in the Auburn backf ield. Bell threw passes and Chambless caught them. Auburn gained much ground on passes^Brown substituting for Armstrong, in the last quarter made some good gains, and caught eight passes while he was in the game. He intercepted a pass and ran 40 yards for a touchdown, to make the only score for the Orange and Blue. . Harkins and Taylor were two more outstanding men for the Plainsmen. Both played a fine game. Dreaden also turned in a good game until he was taken out with a sprained arm. "Let's go little Tigers.'? Some call it mellowness • • SOME say that Camel is the mellowest cigarette ever made.

They carried the ball to the ten yard line, but were stopped. Billy Banker, Tulane back, was one of the stars of the Greenies. He was not able to get much yardage, but he twisted and squirmed so much that it took three Commodores to stop him at times. He played a great game.

S. U. Tigers beat Miss A. & M. in a spectacular game in Jackson, Miss, last week. The score was 9 to 7. Guy Neesom and his educated toe were responsible for winning the game for the Tigers. The whole game was full of thrills. In the second quarter Godfrey threw a pass for 15 yards and Brown caught, the pigs;kin, and ran 40 yards for touchdown. His interference was perfect. In the fourth quarter Freeman, L. S. U. guard, intercepted a pass, and it was at this time that the Aggies made the field goal which won the game for them. The kick was made by Nesom, and Mason was holding the ball. This only made the Aggies fight harder, for they came back and scor- !ed a touchdown. This was made on two long passes, both Chadwick to McCabe. On the second pass Mc- Cabe caught the ball on the L. S. U. four yard line, and ran across for the touchdown. Chadwick then kicked goal.

"Stumpy" Thomason was the star of the occasion. - Georgia Tech deserved every one of those thirteen points, for they were gotten by the sweat of their brow. Twice the Tar Heels got the ball to the one yard line, but the Jackets pulled themselves to gether, and held them for downs, when a touchdown would have meant a tied game. Another time in the first quarter, they held Carolina on the six yard line. It was a experience that Tech does not want to go through again. After the hard fought first quarter, Tech came back in the second quarter and scored the first touchdown. In this period Randolph made two beautiful runs of 25 and 15 yards. Capt. Crowley caught a pass and went over for the touchdown. Thomason then kicked goal. It seemed that this would be the only score that Tech could make. It was near the end of the game when "Stumpy" Thomason broke loose on his twenty-five yard line and ran seventy-five yards for the second and last counter. He failed to kick goal for the extra point. Up until this time Thomason had hot gained much ground, for the Tar Heels were watching him/ North Carolina outpointed the Jackets in all the game except three minutes. In other words Tech won three minutes of the contest and parent leader at the Aggies, was North Carolina fifty-seven. Caro- 1;heir main support.

AT THE TIGER DRUG STORE AND STUDENTSUPPLYSHOP Notes of the Societies WEBSTERIAN The Websterian Literary Society held meetings the last two Tuesday nights, " with a good enthusiastic crowd in attendance. On the 18th. a very interesting debate was given on the subject: "Resolved that Prohibition is a failure." The speakers on the affirmative side were' Miss Bertha Dennis and Rat Beavers while Miss Irene Fletcher and Rat Walter H. Smith upheld the negative. The debate was vesy interesting and we are glad to know that it was decided that Prohibition is not a failure since the negat i v e side won the debate. After the program refreshments were served in the form of sandwiches and lemonade which were enjoyed by all, and a new resolution was made to make our society take a new lease on life and live as it should. On October 25th was the night of initiation of the rats into our society with other attractions. Mr. Hawkins gave an interesting a talk on Capital Punishment, raising a question in our mind if it should be. A very beautiful quartet was rendered by the Mr. Vines, Mr. LeCroy, and Mr. Tidwell which was enjoyed immensely. Charles Rush told us What the Auburn Spirit used to/ be, What it is now, and What it should be. He said that it seemed that it had almost lost its fervor at the first of the year, but that he knew that it was coming back in full force, for the effect of the L. S. U. game proved that if you happened to be on the bleachers that day in Montgomery. He thinks that the unrest on the campus is going to die down and that the same hilarious Auburn Spirit of 10 years ago will be manifested in every corner of the campus, and wherever a friend of Auburn is. A short business meeting was held after which the rats were made members of our society. These freshmen enjoyed it all as much as we did, ariS we know that they are going to be very loyal members. A. S. C. E. The A. S. C. E. held its meeting Monday night, Oct. 24 in Ramsey Hall, at 7:00 P. M. Th'e program consisted of several very interesting discussions. Mr. "Billie" Bond of the Senior Class gave us a short sketch of the lives of two great En gineers. Mr. W. G. McAdoo, a Civil Engineer by profession had charge 4>i the construction of a tunnel under the Hudson river. The construction of this tunnel was a great engineering feat of the time. This was Mr. Mc- Adoo's greatest engineering project, but he has been very prominent in political life since that time. Mr. Herbert Hoover, a well known character of today is also an Engineer, however he is a mining Engineer. Mr. Hoover's greatest engineering work was in China just before the Boxer rebellion. Mr. J. L. Wilson of the Sophomore Class, gave us an interesting talk on "A Civil Engineer called the Father of Aviation". The Wright Bros, who were the first to ever successfully fly by mechanical means, gave this title to Mr. Chanute. Not only did they give the title, but they also gave him all the credit for the invention of the airplane. - Mr. Chanute was elected to the A. S. C. E. in 1868, and was later elected its president. Mr. Dean Fowlkes a Senior gave us a good description of the Cullar's septic tank. Mr. A. V. Blankenship, a member of the Sophomore Class told us about the famous Menai Straits Bridge which has been in use for over one-hundred years and is still in good condition. It is going to be replaced by a concrete structure to take care of the present day traffic whcih requires a larger bridge than the one which is now standing. A rising vote of thanks was given the committee who made possible the smoker last Monday night. Mr. C. E. Smith of the Auburn Engineer staff asked for the support of all engineering and archectural students in making the Auburn Engineer a member of tin C. C. M. A. There being no farther., business the meeting adjourned. as much as possible, and to analyze his plans and. see if he would fit in them. Summarizing he said, know what you are going to do, and prepare for it. A program was arranged for the next meeting, by Charles Moore. No more business coming up, President DeVaiighn declared the meeting adjourned. BANK OF AUBURN We Highly Appreciate Your Banking Business OPELIKA PHARMACY, INC.

Mr. Mitchell brought out several major points which have been of great importance in the past development of the transmission of sound. Reclamation df millions of dollars worth of waste products each year has bjeen one of the recent fruits of the chemical profession as stated by Mr. Mitchell. An interesting discussion of the various stages of coal formation and the part played by "Alkaline Roofs" in the formation of Lignite was given by Mr. Kelly. After Mr. Moore discussed the rivalry of Tantalum to Platinum, Mr. Harper discussed the Economic Factors in Chemical Industries. He * pointed out that every man that follows a trade that embraced chemical reactions was not a chemist. He also discussed the supremacy of-the United States in Chemical engineering possibilities. SUBSCRIBE TO THE AUBURN ENGINEER. WIRT The Wirt Society was fortunate indeed to have Professor Rutland, who is an old member of the Wirt, to be the principal speaker at its meeting Tuesday night in Wirt Hall. Professor Rutland told us about the early days of the Wirt, and of, the ways in which the work was carried on then. He commended the Wirt in its work at present, and spoke of the important benefits that can be derived therefrom. Following Professor Rutland's talk a number of impromptu speeches were made. Those making these speeches were: P. S. Alford who chose "Lindbergh" as his subject; John Comer, who briefly sketched the National Dairy Show recently held at Memphis; and Miss Henry, who brought out some very interesting facts dealing with the Greek Drama, arid who told us of the features by which it is characterized. Among the business that was taken up was that relative to the Declamation contest which is well on the way. It was announced that the-try-outs would be held at an early date, the judges for which have already been announced. AUBURN GARAGE R. O. Floyd, Jr., Prop.

He told us in an unresentful manner that we were not making our Society what it should be because we did not show the preparation in delivering our assigned parts. We certainly appreciate Professor Daugherty taking so much interest in our Society. Mr. I. C. Kuykendall gave one of the best talks that has ever been given at the Evans Literary Society. He was especially commended by Professor Daugherty. The subject of Mr. Kuykendall's talk was "A College Is No Better Than Its Football Team." Of course he modified thta statement somewhat, but he gave a wonderful comparison to our present situation on our campus. Miss Williams gave us a very interesting talk on "News Worth While." Not only was it interesting, but it was also educational. It was followed by a talk on "America vs. Lindberg," by Mr. B. L. Martin. We then voted not to have a meeting next time because "Dad" Elliot will speak at the same hour next Tuesday night. We hope that all of" our members will be out to hear him. SOCIAL SCIENCE CLUB The weekly meeting of the club was held in the department of economics Monday evening at seven o'clock. An engaging program was given which caused favorable commendations from a number of the club members. "The Social Problems of the Girls and Boys in 1940," by S. S Tatum proved most interesting. A. D. Hoskiris gave the club some absorbing information on the recent unearthing of a document, written by Michael Notre Dema in the 16th century— prophesy has proven to be cor rect in almost every detail thus far. The truth of the remainder of the presupposition seems logical. The feature of the program was a lecture by Professor England, termed "Where are you going?" He surmised the problems that would confront all college graduates when they graduated:- Where am I going, what are my plans, and why? The soul? tion he suggested was for the man to plan his career before he left college, PICKWICK CAFE New No. 110 Exchange Hotel FRED RIDOLPHI, Proprietor TWO BUCK CROWS THE MOST TALKED ABOUT RECORDS IN AMERICA Done In Inimitable Droll Humor By M0RAN MACK On COLUMBIA NEW PROCESS RECORDS y 935D-Part 1 Part 2 1094D-Part 3 Part 4 Touch Off A Needle To These Screams And Laugh Yourself Out JESSE FRENCH AND SONS PIANO CO.

The Aub«rn Chapter of the_ Society of American Military Engineers held its weekly Meting in the Engineer room on Tuesday night, October 25th, at 7 P. M. The meeting was called to order by the president -ef the society, W. D. Alston^ •'After the reading of the minutes of the*ift*vi-ous meeting the followinffpTogram was rendered: .._ Mr. E. L. Landstreet talked on the construction of quarters for the soldiers who are stationed along the Mexican border. In introducing his speech Mr. Landstreet told of the conditions .under which the men lived on the Bord|ir prior ty 1919. In his speech he brMjjjMb out the plans which were carried o»# in constructing these quarters as*o the distribution of ma terial and men. " These- houses were built of adobe brick along modern lines. Provision was also made for the sanitary disposal of sewerage from the constructed houses. It was also brought out in his speech that these sanitary quarters^ very materially raised the morale of the men who were stationed in them. Mr. A. M. McRae spoke next on the Andersonville, Georgia, National Cemetery. This cemetery is located between Macon and -Americus, Georgia on one of the principal highways. In his speech Mr. McRae brought out It was originally used as a Confederate prison, in ^vhich a great number of Federal prisoners were kept. Due to the very insanitary living conditions inside the prison a great number of the prisoners died and were buried inside the prison, hence the establishment of a National cemetery on this site. Since the Civil war the site has been beautified and monuments have been erected by the various northern states to the memory of their men who died and were buried therein. Mr. J. D. Neeley spoke on the importance of sanitation as is shown by the important part it plays in the good health of a city or town. He also told about how typhoid fever was prevented during the world war by vaccination and how this disease was replaced by an equally undesirable disease, dysentry. He told about how this disease lowered the morale of the soldiers and the manners in which it was contracted through filth. He then brought out the three important elements in proper camp sanitation; the disposal of human waste and other sewerage; the protection of the drtnlcrng water; the protection of the food. Under the first he told of the proper methods of disposing of the sewerage. This was done by observing strict discipline as to the disposal of the various waste matters. He next told of how the drinking water is purified either by chlorina-tion or" by other methods of like nature. Last he told of how the proper protection of food was brought about during the last war by using canned foods. He also told how the men who handled the food in the camps could be responsible for its becoming full of diseases by being negligent in their personal sanitation. Mr. W. R. Kirkwood next told about the modern mine pumping apparatus which he observed during the past summer. He told of the automatic features which controlled it and also of the efficiency of its operation. He also brought out in his talk the efficiency which exists in modern mine operation. Mr. W. C. Hurt, the last speaker on the program, told of the construction and operation of a large gas-electric bus which has been purchased by the Chicago and Alton Railroad to supplement its rail _. service on a ninety mile route out of St. Louis. The motor generator set is driven by a 120 H. P., six cylinder gas engine. The total length of the bus is thirty five feet-six inches. The steering and driving appartus is so constructed as to permit the entire bus to turn, when a turn is started. This gives a sohrt-er turning radius. He also told how the motors were used as brakes to assist the air brakes in retarding the speed of the bus.

AG CLUB Passenger pigeons will no more cover the sky as a thunderstorm according to P. Godsey at the Ag. Club. "Up until 1892 passenger pigeons went in such large coveys t h a t t he sun would • be covered as by a heavy stormcloud" stated Mr. Godsey. 1898. dates the last capture and 1914 dates the last death of these birds. Has Al Smith a chance for Presidency in 1928? Let Mr. Hallman give the answer. "There are two big items in Al's platform that will either make or lose him as President, name» ly; Catholocism and opposition to the 18th amendment. Furthermore, if Mississippi is an indication of the influence of Catholocism, Al will not be nominated. Others think that there will be a split in the Democratic party thereby causing his failure of nomination. Again the opposition of the Ku Klux Klan will be a big determiner of his success or failure. of nomination." Mr. LeCroy said that Dr. Gardner, of the Botany Department, has been precolorfng oranges in South Alabama By a method that he has worked out/in tfce'laboratory. The gases used for precoloring are ethylene and acetylene. Mr. White, the county agent of Clay county, has changed cotton farming for his county to poultry raising according to J. D. Comer. Three hundred people of the county have gone into poultry raising and have flocks ranging from 100 to 300 birds. Some of the largest flock owners realize a business of $25,000 to $35,000 per year.

HUTCHINSON GETS HIGH DEGREE Former Auburn Man is "Honored by Spring Hill FORTY YOUNG PEOPLE SING IN AUDITION One of Auburns most noted and wiley known alumni, is Dr. Miller Reese Hutchinson who graduated rom Alabama Polytechnic Institute in '98 with a degree of E. E. Later the title of Dr. was added to his name when he received the degree of Ph. r at Spring Hill college. Dr. Hutchinson Came to Auburn from Mobile. At the time of his entrance in the the college he was deeply concerned with the transmission of sound under water. He did nothing with this idea, directly but was of great aid in later inventions. After receiving his degree at Auburn he was employed by the Federal government in the Land and Forest Department, and stationed on the Gulf of Mexico. There he had plenty of time to work on his ideas. Deaf people became one of his hobbies, so consequently he began work to aid their affliction. The result was the "Ackerphone", which is now known to the world as the "Acousti-can." The Queen of England on hearing of this marvelous invention, sent for him to aid her. The Queen being practically totally deaf. He proved himself and his invention to be masters and in this mannfr he won his world-wide fame. Thomas A. Edison being interested in sound also, called him to his laboratory immediately on his arrival back into the States. From then until the present time Dr. Hutchinson has been known as, "Edisons right hand man." During the war Dr. Hutchinson was constantly at Edisons side, giving his expert advice and help to any question arising in his mind. As time went by Dr. Hutchinson advanced. For ten years he was president of his own corporation. The corporation was one, investigating the inventions of others. If the inventions were found to be of value it was financed and given aid in speeding up the time of production. On one such occasion-he became interested in the greatest molest to southern cotton grower, the boll weevil. Since he has rendered great assistance toward abolishing this insect pest. Today Dr. Hutchinson is engaged as chief of the research and scientific department of the Acoustics Products Co. This company was formed by merging three large companies en gaged in the manufacture and sale of musical, recording, reproducing, electrical and amplifying apparatus Dr. Hutchinson is a member of the Kappa Alpha fraternity. Amherst College has abolished certain forms of hazing. (Continued from Page 1.) expenses to Atlanta will be paid by the foundation.

Vote of the listeners in will count sixty percent in the selection of the winning team. State auditions in other stages of district three, have been held in Florida, Georgia, Tennessee, Mississippi, North Carolina, South Carolina, and Virginia. Florida is the first in district number three—the ten Southeastern states—to put it's two contestans in he National Radio Audition of the Atwater Kent Foundation. They are Mrs. Robert E. Johnston, of Jax-onville, and William James Lee, of St. Augustine, who have won first honors in the Florida State Audition. The district Audition at Atlanta will be held on the evenings of November 22 and 23, there will be four other district contests from each of A. J. ELLIOT TO CONDUCT SERIES MEETINGS HERE (Continued from page one) The first student conference at Lake Geneva was held in 1895, at which time "Dad" Elliot was a delegate from the Grand Prairie Seminary at Onarga, 111. After graduation, from that institution, he entered the Northwestern College of Liberal Arts where he played on the varsity football squad, and in his third year (1901) he was named All Western End. "Dad" won an enviable record as a clean sportman. For two years he was president of the local college Y. M. C. A., and was active in other Christian work on the campus. His popularity among the students was attested by the fact that at the close of his Junior year he was signally honored by election to Deru, a senior Wi»i«rary fraternity. After graduation from Northwestern in^02, "Dad" Elliot won for himself a larger field of service by the success of his program as Religious Work Secretary of the Brooklyn Christian Association, and in 1907 he was given a station in the Middle West where he has been located since that time. The students of America commissioned "Dad" Elliot in 1924 to' carry a message of good-will and friendship to the students of the Orient. Visiting Japan, China, and the Phillippines, he addressed thousands of students who eagerly came to hear his prophetic messages. v The students of Auburn are looking eagerly to the time that they can listen to and be inspired by this student leader, and feel highly honored that they can have "Dad" Elliot with them.

An insistence upon reality and the ability and willingness to assume a constantly increasing load of responsibility are necessary." PROFESSORS TURN STUDENTS; ATTEND EDUCATION TALKS told the faculty of some methods to make classroom teaching procedure more effective. The improvement of tests and written examinations was the subject of his second lecture in which he pointed out that tests served better to show how much the instructor had failed to teach the student than it did to indicate the student's knowledge of the subject.. In the third lecture a good teaching personality was discussed, and on the last day the improvement of teachers in service was Dr. McClusky's topic. "The secret of good teaching is to keep alive*; and to keep alive one must constantly grow," says Dr. McClusky. No'college professor can allow himself to "get in the rut" and hope to interest his students in his -subject. Constant study and experimentation with new methods of teaching is essential to the instructor's growth. The colleges today are endeavoring to teach too great a variety of subject matter, is the feeling of Dr. McClusky. It would be much better to cut the list of courses in half and AUBURN MAN PUBLISHES BOOK ON POPULISM (Continued from Page 1.) fundamental aspects of the commonwealth which gave birth to Populism; (2) a history of the .organizations, economic and political, upon which the Populist part was founded; (3) a study of the workings of the Populists as an organized political force; (4) reasons for the passing of the party; and (5) an evaluation of the significance of the movement upon the state's history."

In addition to the lectures many departmental conferences were held to discuss the improvement of instructional methods in the various subjects. Dr. McClusky is adequately prepared to lecture on the improvement of college instruction since he has done much study and research along this line, and has conducted courses at the University of Illinois in methods of college teaching. At one time Dr. McClusky was director of the Bureau of Educational Research in Indiana. He obtained his Ph. D. degree at the University of Chicago.

Then, by a change of instructional method the remaining half of the college course could really be learned by the student. In this connection Dr. McClusky emphasized the fact that the success of a college instructor is measured by the amount of work and study that he is able to provoke from his students. It does not matter what the instructor dqes so long as he succeeds in getting his students to work. The function of our schools, says Dr. McClusky, should be merely to equip the student with certain fundamental skills such as correct speech, habits of study and ability to think in order that he may then educate himself by his own'endeavor.
