Auburn and Tech to Meet in Death-Grapple Thanksgiving
Alumni Hold Meeting
In Birmingham
The Auburn spirit reigns supreme
12 months in the year. That
was the keynote of the most enthusiastic
meeting of the Auburn
Alumni in many years when more
than one hundred and fifty Auburn
men gathered in a rally at the Southern
Club in Birmingham, Friday
night, November 17th.
The challenge of Erskine Ramsay,
by which the Birmingham capitalist
offered to give $100,000 toward
the construction of a #200,000 engineering
hall, provided the Alum-:
ni would match it with the •same
amount of money to be raised after
the offer was made, was accepted
by the Alumni when more than
$25,000 was raised at that meeting,
which was the first step in the campaign
to match the Ramsay gilt.
In addition to the $25,000 which
was raised among the Auburn men
and a few friends of the institution
who were present, it was announced
that an anonymous gift of
$25,000 had already been pledged
to meet the Ra nsay donation condition
and' in addition approximately
$10,0«P had>4)Jla. r*.?s«?<J .among
Auburn Alumni in the east and in
voluntary subscriptions during tH/>
past thirty days since the Ramsay
donation was announced.
At the first mention of the name
Ramsay the crowd rose to its feet
and cheered to the echo, the Auburn
Band struck up "Touchdown
Auburn" and- for several minutes
an enthusiastic demonstration was
given.
Dr. Dowell declared that the
question of engineering supremacy,
which bad been held by Auburn
for half a century, was forever settled
by this gift of Mr. Ramsay, and
he closed with a plea for immediate
and prompt action to raise
not less than $100,000 so that an
engineering building to cost $200,-
000 to $300,000 could be constructed.
OTHER RALLIES
Mr. J. H. Philips of Columbus,
presided at an enthusiastic banquet
in Columbus, November 3rd,
the day before the Georgia-Auburn
game. Talks were made by Dr.
Spright Dowell, Mr. Chas. DeBar-deleben,
President Alumni Chapter
of Birmingham and other prominent
Alumni from Alabama and
Georgia towns. The Auburn orchestra
rendered an interesting
program during the banquet.
Mr. Haygood Patterson of Montgomery
presided at an enthusiastic
banquet held in Montgomery, November
9th, the day before the Au-burn-
Tulane • game. Talks- were
made by Dr. Spright Dowell, Mr.
Chas. DeBardeleben, President Birmingham
Alumni Chapter; also
about twenty-five "two minute"
talks were made by prominent alumni.
The Auburn orchestra rendered
an interesting program.
"I have got the probation blues."
So has everybody else. There is a
rule that to play football you have
to be on probation three or more
times.

an interesting program at
their regular weekly meeting last
Monday night, which included an
interesting brief discussion of the
recent election of Mr. Hodgins. Next
Monday night's program will be
the annual Thanksgiving program
and all members are urged to be
present. The society has made a
remarkable progress so far and expects
the remainder of the year to
be more successful than ever before.
I TAPPA KEY MEET
.The I Tappa Key Radio Club held
its regular meeting Friday night,
November 24th. All members were
present and some interesting topics
in regards to the progress of the
radio station were discussed. These
boys are as loyal to their club as
they are to the radio station itself.

Auburn Men, Follow Mike
and the Team
By R. B. Barnes.
Auburn men, go to Atlanta with the team. They go to play
Tech, and to beat them. There is no power under Heaven that
can stop Coach Mike's Tigers Thursday if you show that you believe
in him and his team.. Word has come to us that there is a
great and worthy foe. Tech has proven so. Only the spirit of
'19 can conquer. This year Auburn has a team that inspires our
love, our pride and our adoration. Who has built it? Coach Mike
Donahue. Ever has he refused to stoop to mercenary and pecuniary
methods to secure material. He has builded his football teams
from legitimate timber, boys who fight for Mike because they love
him, and not the Almighty dollar.* Wherever an Auburn team goes,
it is imbued with a clean spirit, and carries with it the love and
honor of the Southland. Auburn has been a consistent winner
since Mike Donahue has held the reins. But no team has jered
her, or hated her for this. An Auburn team commands only the
respect and admiration of its opponent whether in victory or defeat.
And the glory goes to Mike.
We may lose him after this year. But whatever happens, forget
that until the Orange and Blue illumines the skies above Grant
Field, just as he will forget it. He is made of fibre that never
gives up. He will tell his team to fight for him Thanksgiving, the
last day that he may coach them. They will do it. He is their
idol. To them he is the greatest man in the world, the hero of all
their dreams and lands. And we arc wth them. We think like
them. We are behind them. Their love lor Mike is not greater
than ours. If it is, truly we are unworthy of such a team and such
i CGa-cfcr- J . —r—»^—'.-", I-* ——. • - „nf
AUBURN 6, CENTRE 0
From the plains there comes the ever-recurrent battle-cry. Nothing
can destroy our spirit. Overlook all circumstances and petty
incidents. There is a greater light ahead, a finer gleam to follow.
We know not what the future holds, but this we know.
When the team lines up on Thanksgiving day, their battle and
Mike's will be ours. No matter what happens, we'll give thanks.
Well thank God for our team, we'll thank God for Auburn, ano
more fervently than ever, we'll thank God for Mike.
So we're with you gang. Earth has no finer picture than you
conceive. We are behind you with everything that we have. If
there is any man in college that doesn't feel that way, be he student
or otherwise, we'll throw him out, as unworthy of the name
of an Auburn man. Gang, if we let anything interfere with our
love for the team and for Mike, we don't deserve to win.
So fight for the team, and let this song cry, rise and thunder
in you, as we hit the long trail: "Fight for Mike, fight for Auburn
(the boys that are behind you), fight 'em, team, fight 'em."
.Radio Station Does Its Share of Advertising
The Auburn station-is known to
radio men as 5XA and W. M. A. V.
The first license denotes a college
experimental station located in the
fifth riadio district. The second
license is a limited commercial license
especially issued for broadcasting
purposes.
>Jow what kind of work is being
accomplished by the station? So
far this year 5XA has been heard
from the Atlantic to the Pacific
coast and from the Gulf to the
heart of Canada and Maine. Reports
have been received from
points in 45 states reporting the
signals of the Auburn station. During
the operating month just passed
a total of 300 messages were
handled. This is a good month's
work, but with the aid of your
messages this total can be greatly
increased. 5XA forms an important
link in two of the A. R. R. L.'s
transcontinental relay routes. At
present W. M. A. V. is only operating
on 1/3 rated power but has
been heard in 21 states and Canada.
The present broadcasting is
limited to three nights each week
and weather reports twice daily,
except Sunday. Several of this
season's football games have been
successfully broadcasted and favorable
daylight -reports received.
An enlarged schedule is being
worked out and W. M. A. V. should
be working full time and* on full
power by January first. This broadcasting
station was installed for
the primary purpose of broadcasting
weather, market, and crop reports
and other technical information
that will be of benefit to the
people of Alabama. Broadcasting
for pure entertainment will be of a
secondary nature.
Several records for receiving have
been hung up by this station.
Ships have been heard at sea while
off the coast of Scotland, and the
highpowered radio stations of Europe
have been copied with ease.
Amateur stations in every radio
district in the United States have
been heard at Auburn. During part
of December tests will be conducted
in hopes of hearing the Europ-ian
amateur stations.
Auburn has met the requirements
of working over 1200 miles
and will enter the trans-Atlantic
test of the A. R. R. L. It is the purpose
of these tests to see how many
American amateurs can be heard
in Europe and how many Europian
amateur stations can be heard by
American amateur stations.
From this it is easy to see that
(Continued on Page 4)
Vengeance is Donahue's. He has
repaid. Truly he has repaid the
Centre Colonel for his brutal treatment
of a young and inexperienced
Tiger Cub of 1921. Fate and Donahue
brought forth from the
comparatively puny cat a tiger
worthy of his stripes, whose regal
forepaw descending has wrought
death and destruction in its wake.
Thrice has he chewed tough meat.
He has drunk the fury of Tulane's
green wave, littered the valley of
the Chattahoochee with canine carnage,
and undaunted even by the
prophecy of "Luckie Lewie," of the
Atlanta Journal, (who, by the way,
is "Luckie" to be classed as a
sport-writer) he has flecked the
trail to Championship heights with
the gore of the mighty Centre. He-has
returned to his lair in the
heart of the land of "Here We
Rest", where, as lord of the jungle,
he is "licking his chops and a
bulgin'."
No one can fully comprehend the
splendid feat of the Auburn Tiger
in beating the Centre Colonel 6 to
0. It has dazed the football world,
and caused it to underrate the
Centre team. The truth is "Not
that Centre played worse, but Auburn
best." The glory of Centre
is not to be discredited by her defeat;
rather, Auburn should be
eulogized, in sooth, immortalized
for her wonderful victory. On November
18th came the Centre Colonel,
of proud and haughty mein,
arrayed in brilliant regalia, and
stroking his flourishing and foxy
moustache. He was an aristocrat
of the finest lineage, by virtue of
his noble ancestors, one of whom
a year before did bestride the back
of the Auburn Tiger and ride him
for sixty hair-raising and instructive
minutes. In this same fox and
goose chase, the honorable "Red"
Roberts indulged in the biggest
frolic of his life. He ploughed at
will through the Auburn line,
strutted impudently around it, and
at leisure stepped on the necks of
the bewildered Auburnites who
dared to get in his way. He seemed
to have glue all over his body.
He would run down the field and
throw up a finger or two as a pass
came sailing by, and it seemed to
us that invariably it would light
and roost.
This time he ran against a different
Auburn line, one that had
weathered the storms and hurricanes
of the grand old game. He
hit time and time again as against
a wall, the head that had bored
with ease through the yielding Auburn
line of '21, sagged and grew
dizzy, as it encountered an immovable
barrier, and the imposing
stomach that once engulfed a
whole side of the line, caved and
sank as it met the superior impact
of sinews that were iron and steel.
True, he brought with him no "Bo"
McMillin, but he did have a Covington,
who proved to be the fastest
and wiliest side-stepper and
zig-zagger, that has played* against
Auburn this year. On the first
play of the game he clipped off
thirty yards, through left tackle in
spite of a field heavy with the
rains that soaked the wondering
spectators continually throughout
the game. It was not his fault that
he did not repeat this. There was
something in front of him, through
which no man could have penetrated
deeply that day, the incomparable
Auburn line. It won
the victory. It smashed Centre's
line plunges, and it broke
through and often spoiled her
end runs. It tackled fiercely
and surely, and it never faltered.
Centre beat against it as
the Germans must have beat against
the Hell-Gate of Soissons, only to
be driven back with a terrific toll.
Auburn's backfield, following the
instructions of our beloved Mike,
resorted to straight, perpetual line-bucking,
the like of which has not
gladdened the hearts of football
lovers for many a day. He told
them to buck that line, play safe,
keep' Centre on her goal line and
wait for the moment of opportunity.
It came, as surely and unfailingly
as the wizard chess player
check-mates his opponent play after
play, each one leading to the
other. But first let the back-field
receive its garlands of glory.
"Flivver" Ford won his place in
the, hearts of his comrades,'' hmiss/-,'
"coach, his friends! anci his girl•T• •wu p« •
hit the line like a British tank, and
was responsible! for one of the
most beautiful plays of the game,
when he smashed through Centre's,
line, was thrown headlong, cata^,
pulted in the air, did two or three
superb acrobatic gyrations, and finally
rolled over on his feet, started
off, and went ten yards before,
he was again forced to alight.
Both of Auburn's field generals,
Gibbey and Dean Peterson, ran the
team as the inventor of the good
old game meant for it to be run.
They varied their line-plays, so as
to batter Centre's line and hold
them near their own goal line.
John Shirey played the greatest
game of his life. It is a favorite
stunt of John's.to be seen engulfed..
in a melee of tacklers and finally,
like a thunderbolt, break out in a
clear field. The elasticity of the
soil robbed John of a fair chance.
Ed Shirling proved himself to be
one of the greatest backs of all
time. His steady line-bucking, his
fierce tackling, and his wonderful
interference in that game should
cinch his place on all-Southern.
As has been said, the line beat
Centre. When Roberts punted from
behind his goal-line, he was immersed
by the entire Tiger line,
who charged through the Centre
forwards as if they were tissue
paper. They are worthy of the
name of Tiger, and they proved to
the world that their coach can be
classed with any in the country,
and can teach his boys the fundamentals
of the game. His is the
biggest place in the hearts of the
Auburn man today. The work of
the team against Centre, especially
the work of his line, will forever
be an indestructible gem in the
diadem of his ability as a coach,
and his faculty of inspiring love'
and adulation in his men.
Why call it a break of the game?
Why diminish the glory of. the
line, the team? Don't they deserve
as much credit as the halfback who'
runs thirty yards behind good interference?
Truly theirs is the

SENTIMENTS OF THE AUBURN STUDENT BODY
We want Coach Donahue in Auburn as lOng as Auburn shall
stand. He is the squarest, cleanest coach a team can have, and he
has been the greatest gift of time to Auburn. He is classed by
major football critics, such as Grantland Rice, with the best coaches
in the country. The propaganda has been circulated that he cannot
teach his boys the fundamentals of the game. As Auburn
men, we rise in a body to belie this statement He has always
taught his teams to be clean and above all, to be gentlemen. His
life and his acts acclaim the truth of this cardinal principle. He
has done more for Auburn football teams and the manhood of Auburn
than the faculty or alumni can possibly do. For these reasons,
hereby set forth in the editor's column, we want him to stay
at Auburn, if he can be induced to remain, regardless of what happens
or who else leaves.
This is the message of the Auburn student body to Auburn
alumni in the state and throughout the country, wherever they
may be.
Coach Mike has earned the name of "Gentleman" Mike. Never
*ras title more appropriate. He is a gentleman in every sense of
the word, and here we would like to publish a little verse handed
to us lately. The author is unknown, but it is one which the editor
himself might have written, had he been so gifted.
POEM ON GENTLEMAN MIKE
•
I've learned about lovin' from wimen
An' I've learned about lovin' from men>
But the lovin' I value most, of all is the lovin' I learned from Mike.
f
My Mother taught me to be fair
_j^S*jny Father t!»^t/me^tn--heifiguare^-. „v.~-.:.'_-~ ;
But the fairness and squareness I learned from Mike I value most
of all.
I went off to the war to fight
For a cause that I thought was right,
But the fight for the right that I have for Mike I value most of all.
I've seen men use cards 'neath a table,
I've heard of deals in a crooked horse stable,
But the crookedest deal of them all is the one against Mike.
t «S«fc.i to •
Boys, let's get together for the man—
That knows about lovin',
That knows about squareness,
That knows, about Tightness,
GENTLEMAN MIKE.
The University of Alabama met, outplayed and defeated the
Georgia Bull-Dog Saturday, 10 to 6. It was a splendid game, and
fijtofcima has a real football team. Playing as they did, they deserved
to beat Georgia by a larger score than they did. They won,
and their victory was merited. Our hats are off to Alabama.
On Thanksgiving, in Atlanta, the Championship of the South
will be decided. The bets are even. This is a crisis in Auburn s
history. It is time to pray. Lay aside every thought, but a prayer
for the team. We are behind our team. We hope and pray that
Auburn will win. The student body will follow the team througn
Hell if necessary, and we are going with them to beat Tech.
The station 5XA bas employed .a number of boys around the
school. "Bull" Dunstan says, "You don't even need an instrument
to help some folks broadcast what doesn't concern 'em."
Judge Stone, of Bay Minette, says his boy woke him up the
night after the Centre game, and told him he had decided to play
his football at Auburn. The Judge says he'll make a good 'un too,
as his height is 6 ft. 2, and his feet are so big that be has to pull
his breeches off over his head.
THE LITTLE MAN WITH THE VISION
Came a man to Auburn, a man with a vision,an ideal of cleanliness
and manhood. He is leaving, passing from Auburn, whose
magnificent spirit he has moulded, during a period of twenty years,
with the help and example of Dr. Charles Coleman Thach, "Doc
Charlie," as he was affectionately called by an idolatrous student
body. The latter good old Auburn man is now a sainted memory,
but bis spirit, like the cloud by day and the pillow of fire by night,
is a beacon light to the lovers of Auburn. One is gone, the other
is going. To both was revealed the vision that is Auburn.
There is an intense feeling of sadness and sorrow, in the hearts
of Auburn men. Will the vision linger, after the departure ot
Mike? Will the influence of his wonderful personality remain?
The two are inseparable. One can't live without the other. Come
back, Mike, even if you leave for a short time, come back. What
would Auburn be without Mike? „ .

Hurry, hurry, dearest one,
And wash your face,
The water's on.
Due to excessive baths, leaking
tanks, bursted mains and dry weather,
the Auburn water supply is at
a low ebb. But you can't kid the
personal friends of our dear Editor;
he caught the water company
napping on November 10th, by
bathing, and left a low supply.

Which Type of Research
is of Greatest Value?
A stove bums too much coal. A man familiar with the principles
of combustion and heat radiation makes experiments which
indicate desirable changes in design. That is research.
You want to make a ruby in a factory, a real ruby, indistinguishable
by any test from the natural stone. You begin by
"analyzing rubies chemically and physically. Then you make
rubies just as nature did. Your rubies are the result of research
—another type of research.
While melting up your chemicals and experimenting with high
temperatures, you begin to wonder how hot the earth must
have been millions of years ago, and what were theforces at play
that made this planet what it is. Your investigation leads you
far from rubies and causes you to formulate theories to explain
how the earth, how the whole solar system was created. That
would be research of a still different type.
Research of all three types is conducted in the laboratories of
the General Electric Company. But it is the third type—pioneering
into the unknown—that means most in the long run,
even though undertaken with no practical benefit in view.
For example, the Research Laboratories of the General Electric
Company are exploring matter with X-rays in order to discover
not only how the atoms in different substances are
arranged but how the atoms themselves are built up. The more
you know about a substance, the more you can do with it.
This work may enable scientists to answer more definitely the
question: Why is iron magnetic? Then the electrical industry
will take a greater step forward than can be made in a century
of experimenting with existing electrical apparatus.
You can add wings and stories to an old house. But to build a
new house, you must begin with the foundation.

A Mississippi industrial school
last June held a novel commencement.
Acting on the theory that skill in
labor can be as eloquent as a valedictory,
and an exhibition of ability
to do useful work as interesting
as an oration, the principal of
the institute arranged a program in
which—
The class salutatorian mixed a
batch of concrete and showed how
to make concrete blocks;
A young woman student of home
economics mixed dough and baked
bread;
Another young woman cut and
fit an attractive dress in record
time; _ .
A student of blacksmithing fitted
a metal tie to a wheel.
The boy graduates wore overalls;
the girls wore cheviot dresses made
by themselves.
As a finale to the exercises, 100
pupils presented in pageant form
each of the 16 industrial and agricultural
activities taught.
Honest thinkers are honest doers.

Engineering for the Buyer
It is not enough that electrical apparatus
should be carefully conceived, skillfully
designed, and exactingly manufactured.
Engineering, to fulfill all its functions,
must go beyond these necessary steps and
do a still more enlightened service. It
must apply the apparatus to its uses, so
that not only in design and construction
but in service as well, all the conditions
that must be reckoned with are fully
satisfied.
This function of Westinghouse application
engineering covers many fields, and
charges itself with many responsibilities.
It is engineering that concerns itself with
almost every aspect of business, central
station, transportation, industrial, mining,
electro-chemical, etc. It has the
buyer's interest constantly at heart.
Westinghouse Application Engineering
works with salesmen, with buyers, with
consulting engineers, with contractors,
and with service and repair men; it finds
and investigates new fields; it checks the
behavior of apparatus, old and new; it is a
bridge over which information passes
freely in both directions between Westinghouse
and its thousands of clients and
friends.
Be glad that you are to live and work
in times when the spirit of service dominates
commercial operations. The greatest
change that has occurred in business
in the last few decades has been in the
minds of men. No longer need the buyer
beware for it is now known that the
seller's obligation reaches beyond the
completion of the sale; and that it is
both wise and right that every reasonable
effort be made to give the buyer full
value in both product and satisfaction*
The practise of this policy requires engineering
of the highest type in research,
design, manufacturing-and every other
phase of Westinghouse operations, but
nowhere to greater degree than in the
field of application engineering, which is
essentially engineering for the buyer.

Auburn Family Football
By Coach Mike Donahue, Abum's
Greatest Man.
Very few of Auburn's successful
teams that are not connected with
some well known family that has
been prominent in Auburn's football
history. One of the earliest
and most prominent was the Tiche-nor
family. While not of the same
name, Tick Tichenor, Tom McClure,
Randolph and Walker Reynolds,
were members of the same family.
The time of their playing extended
from 1900 to 1909. All of them
were captains of championship
teams except Walker Reynolds,
who with a badly crippled team,
lost to Sewanee, the winner in 1909
by a 10 to 11 score. Of the same
immediate the most numerous and
one of the most enthusiastic were
the four "Pats"—Will, Jim, Hay-good
and Wallace. These wound
up their careers in 1907, but their
interest in Auburn football teams
has been increasing rather than decreasing.
The Rosemont Gardens
usually have to run themselves
when Auburn plays any important
game of football. Along about this
time "Bloisy" and "Scrappy" Hill,
both skillful and aggressive players.
The latter made the supreme
sacrifice in France. In later years
we have the Shirlings—George and
Ed. The latter is too well known
to the present Auburn generation.
George played in 1910 on one of
the best teams that Auburn has
ever had. He only stayed in college
long enough to play one year,
but he was one of the most powerful
men that ever played on an Auburn
team. Then came the Wynnes
—Rube, Jack and Gene, who is
now with us. The two former were
members of winning teams in Auburn
and Rube played at West
Potet for two ye..rs. Then tiic'fWb
all-Southern centers—Gene and
Noah Caton—have left indelible
marks on Auburn's football tradition.
Gene was center on the powerful
1910 team. There are some
families that mixed their athletic
activities. The Ollingers—Charlie,
Rodney and Batch—are one of
these, with football winning two
of them and baseball one. Then
the Moultons reversed this with
baseball taking George and John
while our own songbird, "Slick",,
is holding down an end on one of
Auburn's most famous teams. The
second generation is just beginning
to show up due to the fact that Auburn-
is a comparatively young institution.
We, however, have Jim
Pearce, whose daddy was also a
member of an Auburn football
team. They are both sizable propositions.
We have also another
generation of "Pats" getting started
with one a member of the "Rat"
team and more on the way. Were
it not for these strong family followers
Auburn football teams would
have a rather hard time of it.
with blood and glory. Do you
hear? He has set his heart and
soul to win, and by the eternal
God and the big gang behind him,
he will win in spite of the tricks
of Tech or Luck.

brunt of the fight, but ' not the
glory. Theirs is the storm of the
front line, without the reward. Only
the genuine critic can see the
work of the line, but in the heart
of the Auburn coaches is a song
unheard by untrained ears, a Muse
that sings of Lawrence and Reagan
and Ray and Pearce and Grisham
and Moulton and Pruitt.
From the Atlantian glades comes
the susurrous of a greater menace
to the Tiger birthright and into his
eyes comes a steely glint, the symbol
of a determination that is deadly,
while from his carnivorous
chest, issues a first warning snarl,
the challenge of a spirit that has
conquered and will not be conquered.
He waits only for the
whistle gong, whose signal will

the Auburn radio station is doing
its part each night in putting old
Auburn on the map. Today Auburn
is known in places where it had
never been heard of three years
ago. This is a result of the wonderful
things accomplished by the
radio operators in surmounting
many difficulties through a sacrifice
of their time, labor and money.
Lot us .send your radiograms in
the United States free of charge.
The Auburn radio station handles
these messages under the direction
of the American Radio Relay League
without charge, but it is impossible
to guarantee these messages
against delays or non-delivery.
During the past three years
very few messages have failed to
reach their destination. Weather
conditions often hamper radio
work and for this reason stations
operating under the A. R. R. L. are
not allowed to collect charges. It
is the aim of every official A. R. R.
L. station to handle "as much traffic
as possible and a plentiful supply
of messages is required to make
this station well known.
How has all this been made possible?
The new super-station has
grown out of the small station
which we all remember used to
be in the little green Chemistry cottage.
For three years the operators
ha*e spent their spare time
and eyeh more working to achieve
what is a reality today in this sup^
er-station. This work has been under
.the personal direction of Mr.
V. C. Mcllvaine who is operator in
charge, and-with the hearty cooperation
of Professor A. St. C. Dun-stan
who ha& been the ever loyal
friendHo the- radio department.
The present staff of operators are
as follows: H. S. Brownell, Arthur
Dunstan, A. E. Duran, L. W.
Howe, W. E. Glenn, J. J. Duncan,
T. G. Conner, S. W. Bayliss, R. H.
Cobbs. The first eight of these
operators hold commercial licenses,
while the other two
hold amateur licenses. These
operators are the fellows who
have put their heart and money
into making the Auburn radio
station what if is today. The
U. S. government radio inspector
recently inspected this station and
said it to be the most completely
equipped station of its kind in the
South. This station consists of
four complete radio telegraph
transmitting sets ranging from 1/10
K. W. to 2 K. W. There has been
installed a 3/4 K. W. radio phone
broadcasting set which was given
to the college by the Birmingham
News as their gift to the Greater
Auburn Drive. This broadcasting
set when completed will be' 50%
stronger than any of its kind in
the South. Five complete telegraph
sending sets have been installed
and another special receiver is to
be installed at an early date. Four
of these receivers werp given to the
college by the Mathews Electric
Supply Company of Birmingham,
Ala., as their gift to the million
dollar drive. The fifth receiver
was constructed in the station and
has proved by far to be the best
one. The receiver to be installed
will be furnished by the U. S. Government
for the purpose of receiving
weather reports direct from
Washington.-
This station is licensed by the
U. S. Government and was considered
to be of enough importance
to be inspected by the government
radio inspector in person. Two
classes of licenses are necessary
for the operation of this class station.
The best available means of growing
in ideas and in ability to express
these ideas is the literary society.
For some years other student
organizations have outstripped
it in popularity, but it holds its
own. Two of our literary societies
were organized in the season
of 1859-60. At that time the Wirt
and Websterian organizations had
all the paraphernalia of fraternities
and served most of the purposes of
fraternities until the Greek letter
group eased into Auburn in the
middle eighties. The Wilsonian
was organized three years ago and
the Hilliard one year ago. All of
these groups, composed of students
who want to learn to think for
themselves, are making good progress
this fall.
For a number of years the college
has been offering a debator's
and a declaimer's medal to each society
for the best debator and the
best declaimer in each. Besides
these the societies offer other medals
for speakers and writers.
As a recognition of the good work
of these clubs, the college is granting
this year for the first time
quality points to those members
who attend regularly and work
faithfully.
The Plainsman would like to urge
all students who wish the stimulus
of wide-awake associates to get into
one of the societies. There one
can find students who think vigorously
about current events, students
who read books that have influenced
the world, and students who are
preparing themselves to be leaders.
A student cannot afford to bury
himself in college; activities"' and
books so thoroughly4bat4ie-has~jio
lilfie to keep up with the best
thought of the world. A man who
does not think of his own account
never finds himself. Join a Literary
society.
