SOPHOMORE HOP USHERS IN
SOCIAL SEASON AT AUBURN
Over Six Hundred Bids
Sent Out Monday
CAROLINA GAMECOCKS
WILL FURNISH MUSIC
Arabian Motif Used In Decora­tive
Scheme For the
Gymnasium
Considering the number of bids
that were received by the social com­mittee
Sunday night, the opening
dances this year, to be given Sep­tember
29, 30 and October 1, will be
a commendable sucess. Over six hun­dred
bids left Auburn Monday to va-rious
parts of the state and even out­side
of Alabama to other parts of the
country.
The orchestra being the leading
factor of the affair, the social com
mittee has endeavored to offer the
best possible in their selection.
The Carolina Gamecocks will pre
sent a splendid program for the oc
casion. This will be their first time
to offer entertainment since they re­t
u r n e d from a nine week engagement
at the Casino in Deauville, France,
one of the most fashionable European
summer resorts. They gained- for
themselves a favorable reputation
while in Europe.
The features for the dances will be
as follows: Thursday night, opening
dance; Friday morning, regular
dance; Friday afternoon, Inter-Fra
ternity Council Tea dance; Friday
day night, Sophomore Prom; Satur­day
morning, regular dance; Satur­day
afternoon, "A" Club Tea dance;
Saturday night, farewell Ball.
The decorations for this dance will
be of an Arabian style, red and black
with a silhoutte effect as a back­ground
for the orchestra.
The dances will be under the direct
management of the social cmmittee
with the aid of the faculty social com­mittee
and Miss Zoe Dobbs. The of­ficers
of the Sophomore class will
preside. They include: J I . H. Milli
gan, President; J. N. Crump, Vice-
President; J. D. Salter, Secretary-
Treasurer.
Among the fraternities that will
feature house parties are: Pi Kappa
Alpha, Delta Sigma Phi, Sigma Alpha
Epsilon, Kappa Sigma, and Sigma
Phi Epsilon.
CONGRESSMAN
TALKS AT FIRST
CONVOCATION
In an address before 800 upper-classmen
at convocation Thursday,
given as the first official convocation
hour of the year, Congressman W. B.
Bowling of Lafayette pointed out
many features which make our pres­ent
society far superior to the mode
of living in the United States before
the Civil War. In speaking of pro­hibition
as a progressive enactment,
Congressman Bowling said, "The
United States Government can en­force
the prohibition laws .once it
takes a notion that it want to."
President Spright Dowell introduc­ed
the speaker as a staunch friend of
the institution and one who had ably
represented Auburn in its relations
with the National Government on
many occasions.
Referring to Paul's vision on the
island of Patmoe in which a new
earth were revealed to Paul as re­corded
in Revelations, Congressman
Bowling illustrated the many features
of modern society which make it a
"new earth" compared to the days
of two generations past. To empha-phasize
this he mentioned the eanct-ment
of laws prohibiting the legal
sale of whiskey and the outlawing of
gambling, which he stated did much
to improve the tenor of society today.
In addition, the lengthening of the
average life in the United States
through the advancement in prevent­ive
medicine was given as an evidence
of the progressive age in which we
live.

ALUMNI GO ON
WITH BATTLE;
AUBURN WINS
Alumni Teams of Auburn and
University Lock Horns
*
Auburn alumni members of the
Junior Chamber of Commerce Tues­day
were wearing the smile of vic­tory,
acquired when their team beat
the team composed of Alabama Uni­versity
alumni members of the or­ganization
at a baseball game Satur­day.
The score was 13 to 8, and the con­test,
according to eye-witnesses, was
a heated one. The game, the first of
a series, to be promoted between
members of the organization, was
played at Jordan Park, and was um­pired
by Robert Shelton, athletic su­pervisor
with the Park and Recrea­tion
Board.
The official lineup follows:
Auburn: Centerfield, T. E. Phillips;
shortstop, Harvey L. Kyle; catcher,
C. A. Jones, Jr.; irghtfield, W. P.
Breen, and (relief) Hunter Wallace;
leftfield, Fred C. Hahn; second-base,
William Ware; third-base, Harry
Watkins; first base, Hub Hahn, and
pitcher, Ralph Webb.
Alabama: Third-base, Charles
Lauve; shortstop, E. S. Moore; cen­terfield,
Yancey Goodall, and (relief),
W. C. Woodall; catcher, Tram Ses­sions;
leftfield, Tom Newton; second-base,
Armistead Leake; first-base,
Walter Kennedy; rightfield, J. H.
Wylie, Jr., and pitcher, Frank Sav­age,

AUBURN STAFF
OF TEACHERS IS
NOW STRONGER
Mr. J. V. Brown
Member of Oar
Famous Old Team
J. V. Brown, former grid star and
captain of the team of '94, has been
appointed chairman of the Athletic
Council and executive secretary of
the Alumni Association for the com­ing
year.
"Widdie" Brown was a member of
the team that participated in the
football tournament staged in Atlanta
during the fall of 1892. Four games
were to be played on sucessive days,
and the Tigers were confident of vic­tory
in every contest. However,
after meeting defeat in the first two
games and being forced to forfeit the
third because of the team's need of
rest, Auburn did win the final en­gagement
with Georgia Tech. These
games were played in forty-five min­ute
halves; during the Tech game Mr.
Brown played opposite the late Gen­eral
Wood, who was both player and
coach for that aggregation.
Later with Balliatt of Lehigh Uni­versity
as coach, Mr. Brown was one
of the team that journeyed to Bir­mingham
to meet Alabama in the
football game between the two
schools. This game, which was also
the first in the state to be played be­tween
the two institutions, took place
on February 22, 1893. The score
was Auburn 32, Alabama 22.
CHI OMEGAS ACT
AS HOSTESS AT
MANY PARTIES
Rushees Honored At Several
Affairs .
Resulting from the progressive
educational program adopted for Ala­bama
by the recent legislature with
the suport of Governor Bibb Graves,
eighteen new faculty members have
been added to the instructional staff
at Alabama Polytechnic Institute for
the scholastic year 1927-'28, accord­ing
to information obtained at the of­fice
of President Spright Dowell,
Monday. Those professors and in­structors,
who will in a large measure
make the employment of student as­sistants
unnecessary, come to Auburn
from many of the most prominent
universities in the United States.
The following faculty members in­clude
those filling positions made
possible by late legislation resulting
in the removal of many student as­sistants
:
Dr. J. W. Scott, who is to be Dean
of the Academic Faculty, comes
from Oklahoma A. & M., where he
has served for three years. Dean
Scott received his B. A. Degree from
the University of Wichita, Kansas,
his M. A. Degree from the University
of Texas, and his doctorate was tak­en
at Chicago University. The pres­ident
of Oklahoma A. & M. was most
enthusiastic in his commendation of
Dr. Scott's work at Stillwater.
Miss Louise P. Clanton, M. A.
and B. S. Columbia, will be Head of
the Home Economics Department.
Miss Clanton, who is the author of
many articles on her subject, has
had wide experience in this field.
Lately Miss Clanton has studied at
Yale University and at Sarborne in
Paris. Under Miss Clanton's direc­tion
two exceptional courses will be
given as electives in Home Econo­mics;
Development of the Preschool
child and The Family, both of which
are designed to cover a field of study
hitherto untouched by any courses
offered at Auburn. Miss Lula R.
Palmer, M. A. Columbia, will be in­structor
in the department, teaching
the course, Development of the Pre­school
Child, and supervising Physical
Education for the women students at
Auburn.
(Continued on Page 6.)
The Chi Omega Sorority act'ed as
hostess to several very delightful
parties during open "Rush Week".
On Monday evening a moonlight pic­nic
was given on the Ag Campus in
honor of the following rushees:
Misses Flora Hickman, Odelle Stuart,
Lois Bostick, Grace Moon, Lane
Graves, Ruth Murry, Mildred Dimmit,
Anne Brown, Lillian Meadows, Eve­lyn
Henry, Emma Jo Atkinson, Pa­tricia
Askew and Evelyn Blauton.
Lunch was served to sixty guests by
the light of a lovely camp fire.
Tuesday evening folowing a pic­ture
show party was given at a lo­cal
theatre. The Sorority entertain­ed
their rushees in the form of a
slumber party given at the Chi Ome­ga
Sorority Room. As the clock
struck twelve a delightful midnight
feast was served, after which various
games were enjoyed.
WARREN SPEAKS
TO ARCHITECTS
MONDAY NIGHT
BIGGIN IS DEAN
NEW COLLEGE OF
ARCHITECTURE
First College of Architecture
In South Established
Here
William T. Warren of the firm of
Warren, Knight and Davis, official
architects to the Alabama Polytech­nic
Institute and a graduate of that
institution will speak to the members
of the Architectural Association on
Monday at 7 P. M. in the lecture
room of the Department of Architec­ture
second floor of the administra­tion
building.
Mr. Warren after completing an
engineering course -here studied archi­tecture
and was graduated from Co­lumbia
University. He is a member
of the American Institute of Archi­tects
and a past president of the Ala­bama
chapter, member of the Allied
Arts Club of Birmingham and other
art organizations. He is also a mem­ber
of the state art commission and
an art critic of merit.
The coming of Mr. Wan-en is the
first of a series of men prominent in
art and architectural work throughout
the south to be sponsored by the Ar­chitectural
Association. Credit for
the introduction of this pleasing and
helpful addition to the regular archi­tectural
program is due Moreland G.
Smith, president of the association.
Members of the faculty, towns­people
and students interested are cor­dially
invited to attend the lecture.
Professor F. C. Biggin head of
the architectural department for the
last twelve years, has been made dean
of the new architectural college re­cently
established at Auburn. Dean
Biggin is well known throughout the
South in his department and is well
fitted for his new position. He is an
ex-president and an active member of
the American Institute of Architects,
and is also a member of the State
Art Commission. He is a graduate of
the Cornell school of architecture,
receiving his B. S. degree there in
1892. After his graduation he
served for five years as an instructor
•of architecture at Lehigh University.
Afterwards he practised his profes­sion
for a while, but went later to
Oklahoma A. & M., where he became
head of the architectural department
at that college. His splendid services
in developing the architectural course
at A. & M. brought him considerable
note, and it was from there that Au­burn
obtained him in 1916.
Under Dean Biggins' wonderful
leadership the architectural depart­ment
here has grown to be the fore­most
in the south. Since his coming
in 1916 the department has been de-velopd
so that besides its primary pur­pose
in teaching architectural en­gineering,
it offers several extreme­ly
good art courses including free­hand
drawing, charcoal sketching,
water coloring, and oil painting.
These courses are chiefly taken ad­vantage
of by architectural and home
economics students, but they may be
obtained as electives by an student
wishing to do so.
The architectural department has
grown so in size until it has over­flown
its original home on the second
floor of main building and part of it
is now housed in the old students
dining hall. This additional space
has allowed the college to take advan­tage
of a system of teaching that is
used in all the great scsools of ar­chitecture
in the world. Under this
system the old and new students
work on their problems side by side.
The new students are thus able to ob­tain
information from the older stu­dents,
and the old students are able
to gain some experience in teaching,
a particularly valuable experience
where a man wishes to become an in­structor.
The recent establishment of the
architectural department as a sep­arate
college .with its own dean gives
Auburn the distinction of being the
only college in the south to have a
complete separate college of its own.
Such a college was made necessary by
the growin demands from all over the
state, and through recent acts of the
Legislature such a college has been
made possible.
An Old Verdict is
Brought to Light by
Son of an Old Grad
Last year while making a desper­ate
search for a suitable wooden box
in which to send some articles home,
R. B. Hobday, a Sophomore this year,
found an old box under Mrs. S. C.
Winston's home on South Gay Street,
addressed to his father who attended
school at Auburn during the years
1895-99. It was during this period
that Mr. J. V. Brown, former grid
star and captain of the Tiger team
of '94 and who is now chairman of
to the Athletic Council and Executive
Secretary of the Alumni Association,
was at Auburn.
The box was well constructed, hav­ing
a top that was attached by old
rusty hinges. These bulky hinges
were quite- an outstanding feature in
the dilapidated appearance of the box.
The address was hardly legibile. How­ever
the following inscription was
finally made out: Cadet J. B. Hobday,
Alabama Polytechnic Institute, Au­burn,
Alabama. The post office
stamp was marked March 6, 1897.
On being questioned as to use made
of the box the father claimed that a
special Thanksgiving diner was sent
to him in this old remainder. He
stressed the fact that its size was due
to the two large turkeys which it
held back in '97. However some of
the old classmates of Mr. Hobday
claim that the box contained an
abundant supply of beer.

PRACTICE HOME
New Electrical Equipment Is
Added to Home Econo­mics
Department
New electrical equipment has been
installed in the practice home of the
Home Economics Department. The
new equipment includes some of the
latest electrical devices invented for
the comfort and beauty of the modern
home. The devices installed include
a frigid air refrigeration plant which
freezes its own ice, an electric stove,
toaster, waffle irons, and vacuum
cleaner.
The new home has been completely
rewired with the most modern light­ing
fixtures. In this new system the
light globes are placed so as to dis­tribute
the light evenly.
The home is under the supervision
of Miss Gatchell, home economics
teacher.
During the past week the Y. W. C.
A. has sponsored many interesting
as well as enjoyable entertainments
in honor of the new co-eds. True to
form each old girl selected a, new
student and christened her with the
endearing name of "little sister". It
then became her duty to introduce
this "little sister" to Auburn and all
of its various activities, and to act as
her official escort upon all occasions.
The first treat was a picture show
party which was given Tuesday night
at the Tiger theatre. The Old Stu­dents
as well as new ones enjoyed a
peep into the East side life of New
York City as portrayed by the "Cal-lahans
and the Murphys."
On Thursday afternoon from five
until six, at Smith Hall, the Y. W.
C. A. and Women's Student Govern­ment
acted as hostesses at an infor­mal
tea. The lobby was attractively
decorated in summer flowers and
ferns, which blended with the pretty
costumes worn by the girls. Punch
and cake was served to the guests
throughout the hour.
The gayest part of all however,
was given Friday evening in the
form of a freshman prom. All of
the old girls dressed as boys escort­ed
the fair freshmen as their dates.
Music was furnished by a college or­chestra
and dancing was greatly en­joyed
from nine unitl twelve.
AUBURN PRIMED FOR FRAY
WITH STETSON SATURDAY
LEGISLATURE
GIVES AUBURN
NEEDED FUNDS
New Instructors and Buildings
Will Be Provided
PROF. GOSSER
TO GIVE COURSE
IN COMPOSITION
According to a statement made by
|J. R. Rutland, head of the Depart­ment
of English at Auburn a new
course in original writing has been
added to the curriculum of the de­partment.
The long felt need for
such a course and the interest shown
among students for this type of work
have predetermined its success.
Dr. Gosser, a new addition to the
English faculty will teach the course
in advanced composition. Dr. Gosser
has had considerable experience along
these lines being the author of sev­eral
plays and having taught original
writing in several of the larger north­ern
universities.
The present Legislature has passed
a Unified Education Bill carrying a
substantial increase in maintenance
on a basis paralleling that of the Uni­versity
and which places both of them
on a relatively fair basis in compari­son
with other institutions in the
South. This means that positions
which heretofore' have been held by
immature teachers and undergradu­ates
are being filled with men of
more proven scholarship and ability,
that the size of classes are being re­duced
to proper limits and the the
work of instruction is being consider­ably
strengthened. A number of men
of superior training have been added
to the faculty and others are being
considered.
The Legislature of 1923 made no
increase in the appropriations for in­stitutions
of higher learning, includ­ing
Auburn. The income, therefor*,
has remained constant for more than
four years. This has meant increas­ing
difficulty in providing for the
maintenance of the institution and has
given no encouragement whatever to
building and equipment. During the
Semi-Centennial Campaign a sum ap­proximating
one-half million dollars
was raised and with this the Alumni
Dormitory, the Erskine Ramsay En-ginering
Hall, and two modern shop
buildings, were erected.
During the current year an inten­sive
study will be made of the instruc­tional
work of the institution in its
various divisions and departments
and such expansions and additions
will be made to courses of instruction
and to the staff as may be justified
Auburn is in a decidedly better posi­tion
to render a notably high quality
of service and the prestige of the in-stitutionn
is assured.
The Unified Act also carries a con­ditional
appropriation for building
and equipment to become effective at
the will of the Governor, in the event
the proposed constitutional amend­ment
for buildings fails of ratifica­tion.
Under the constitutional amend
ment, two-thirds of the proposed issue
of twenty million dollars goes to ele­mentary
and high schools and six mil­lion
dollars goes to institutions of
higher learning, including Normal
schools. Of the amount for institu­tions
of higher learning Auburn and
the University each are to receive $1,-
250,000 and proportionate amounts
will go to Alabama College and to the
Normal schools.
This fund is sorely needed as may
well be understood when we recall
that in the fifty-five years of the in­stitution's
life the state has not given
in total anything like the above
amount to Auburn. The adoption of
the amendment would make possible
the expenditure of the entire amount
as promptly as may be wise. This
means that the buildings now on the
campus may be put in first class con­dition,
that considerable equipment
can be purchased, and that four or
five modern and commodious build­ings
would be erected and equipped.
The increased facilities and the
substantial legislative increase for
operation and maintenance will place
Auburn in position to serve the state
in the most acceptable fashion. What

Prospects For Winning
Team
RATS BEWARE
Freshmen, you are not obeying the
"rat rules". A number of you have
not purchased rat caps. Still more of
you have not cut your hair. You seem
to forget that you are only a rat, and
that you must keep your position.
We have not bothered you as yet, but
you have, been here long enough now
to know what you can't do. We in­tend
to FORCE you, if necessary, to
obey these rat rules, because that is
what they are for.
A word to the wise is sufficient.
Using the past week to iron out all
possible kinks and work all of his
numerous candidates down to mid-season
form, Coach Morey and his as­sociates
have succeeded in polishing
up a grid-iron eleven worthy of the
Orange and Blue of Auburn. From
all indications and rumors, a far dif­ferent
eleven will take the field
against the Floridians, than has rep­resented
the fair Village in the past.
But the details of the play and plan
is not to be told, only mentioned.
However, the new system is based
largely on the cut and block style.
Practice will make perfect and our
boys are putting their all in prac­tice.
Very litle is known of the visiting
eleven. They hail from Deland and
represent Stetson College is in the
S. I. A. A. and is the annual oppo­nent
of Howard, B'ham, Southern
and other Alabama Colleges. John
B. Stetson, the famous maker of
hats, is the founder of the school.
Although we are facing a smaller
college there is no reason to believe
that our opponent on the field will ba
diminutive in the least. And we
all know that Auburn has not had
a set up in any of her opening games
in quite a number of years. Cer­tainly,
'not since Morey came South.
A hectic battle under a torrid sum- «
mer sun is the outlook at the pres­ent.
Morey, is well pleased with the
prospects for a winning team this
season and has thrust a great deal of
anxiety into his many aspirants as
to who is on the first team and who
is not. As the eleven now stands,
there are nearly as many recruits on
the initial team as there are varsity
men. Some of the varsity are even
runing with the third squad, yet,
each day brings new recruits and if
a man misses blocking or cutting his
opponent, he is immediately extract­ed
and another eager aspirant takes
his place. Such is life on Drake
field during the past week of scrim­mage
and practice.

PUBLISH PAPER
During the R. O. T. C. summer
camp held at Fort Benning, Georgia
an interesting publication made its
appearance. A number of Auburn
students played a large part in edit­ing
and illustrating the R. O. K. P.
Gripe". The publication was issued
in mimeograph form and expressed
the life in the camp in a fitting and
appropriate manner. -.
A wealth of material was at the dis­posal
of the young journalists among
the Auburn contingent. Not infre­quently
did their names grace the
pages of the publication.
One of the features of the paper
was the art work done by Detlie of
Alabama and Robertson and Judkins
of Auburn. W. C. Hurt, editor of the
Auburn Engineer, L. S. Whitten, Edi­tor
of the Glomerata and J. B. Beard,
editor of the Alabama Farmer played
a large part in making the publica­tion
a success. Other members of the

The great need of the world is men who
can walk alone.
The character of the individual deter­mines
the value of the life.
With registration just passed we have
grown somewhat relaxed. The real crises
has not come yet. The problem that is
now confronting us is just how we will re­cuperate
from the effects of matriculation
which almost drained our coffers, manage
to get that new suit and yet have enough
to make the dances.
During the past week outside firms have
given Auburn merchants a considerable
amount of competition. Some remedy
should be given the local men. Students
will trade with the man who offers the
best values at reasonable prices. When
the merchants of Auburn can have repre­sentatives
of their respective lines to dis-
-**' play their goods here at attractive prices
then foreign competition will be a thing of
the past. Sometimes it takes drastic meth­ods
to instill into the minds of some people
the fact that they have been asleep. We
feel that the merchants of the city have
quality goods at fair prices to suit your
needs. Notice the ads and trade with those
who advertise. Show them that their in­terest
and expenditures will be compen­sated.
It pays you to watch the merchant
who advertises.
We read the other day of a French avia­tor
by the name of Jean Callize who was
the official holder of the world's altitude
record. The story goes that certain en­gineers
grew suspicious of the champion
high flyer and suggested that he make a
second attempt to break the former record.
The challenge was accepted and prepara­tions
were made for the flight.
It is known that gasoline motors do not
function properly in rarified atmosphere.
The engineers concealed a Second baro­graph
in the tail of the machine. When he
descended it was discovered that there was
a vast difference between the instrument
he carried in the cockpit and the one whose
presence he had been unaware.
The flyer was immediately summoned
before a jury where he confessed to sys­tematic
and elaborate faking. He had
drawn a line of invisible ink on the baro­graph
sheet and had even taken a poison
to produce the effect of exhaustion.
It is difficult to imagine the mental pro­cesses
from which such a gross idea could
have originated. We find recorded a num­ber
of cases of this kind. Notably of these
is the famous explorer, Dr. Cook, the dis­tinguished
scholar, John P. Collier, who
made additions to Shakespearean docu­ments
thus confusing scholars with the very
problems he himself had endeavored to
solve. We might recall the affair of Bene­dict
Arnold who betrayed the cause for
which he was fighting in order to gain
fame.
TheSe men were seekers of fame who
went about getting it through the wrong
channels. They will be remembered by
after generations as examples of these
atrocities. Their reward is humiliation and
disgrace which in themselves could not be
more impressive, more eternal.
EDUCATION
Since time began there has been a human
desire for "storing up" and accumulating.
Legends relate of vast fortunes collected
and developed into the form of palaces,
walls and eventually cities of marble.
Along with this tendency to obtain more
and better material possessions there arose
a desire to increase and store up mental
knowledge, from which has evolved our
modern term "education." At the present,
education seems to be the main topic of the
day, being considered to "mankind..
When gold, silver, gems and other pre­cious
metals and jewels were first discov­ered
there was no limit to further search.
On through the ages this search has been
carried on. It is quite evident that such
necessities and even luxuries always exist­ed
but needed only to be discovered by
man and made practical for his every day
life. '
Education and the development of know­ledge
also seem to have come about in
some such similar manner. The infinite in­telligence
and infinite mind were first
created, but, like the precious gems were
hidden to mankind. However, they have
gradually been unfolded to him through
the ages by means of educational research
and study. ^ To analyze tjie word "educa­tion"
gives more precisely what is hereby
inferred. The prefix "e" means "from"
and the base "due" is derived from the
Latin verb "duco", meaning "to lead. Hence
we conclude its meaning, "to lead from
the ignorance of the infinite intelligence.
When a new discovery or invention is
made today we may think of it as just
another discovery of a new phase of life
from this infinite source. The inventor
has all the past knowledge from which to

add another bit and reach a conclusion in
advance of those behind him.
What a consolation it is realize that we
have but to learn something of the past

THE VIGILANCE COMMITTEE
Several years ago when hazing was abol­ished
and "rat rules" were adopted, a vi­gilance
committee was elected to see that
this gentlemanly form of discipline was en­forced.
Last year this Committee was em­inent,
not by the energetic vigour with
which they applied themselves, but rather
by their great reluctance to seeing the
paddle in service.
Unless a man is disciplined during his
freshman year, he is denied the anitcipa-tion
of the privileges which are supposedly
enjoyed only by the upperclassmen. It is
the duty of this year's Vigilance Committee
to see that the rules and regulations which
were accepted and approved by the fresh­men
are enforced to the entire satisfaction
of that class. So that in years to come,
the freshman Class of 1931 shall not have
recourse to point an accusing finger and
shout in turbulent voices, "You, the Vigil­ance
Committee of-1927, robbed us of our
College heritage by your laxity".
We heartily favor rigid enforcement of
the "rat rules", and appeal to the Vigilance
Committee to do their utmots duty. The
men comprising the Comittee for this year
have all proved themselves complacent and
physically able to execute their positions
with the greatest degree of efficiency. We
are confident that they will not tolerate
any of the infractions which were over­looked
last year.
The Vigilance Committee cannot function
by itself, to be something more than a
farce, it must have the cooperation and
abundant support of all upperclassmen. It
is the upperclassmen's duty to report to the
Committee the name of any rats whom they
observe breaking any of the rules.
If the upperclassmen are not willing to
assume this responsibility, then they forfeit
any right to rebuke the Committee should
it be seemly lax.
We hope that this year will see a revi­val
of the Committee and that the incom­ing
men will be given an enthusiastic intro­duction
into Auburn Life.

There are thirty new members added to

Davidson, N. C, has registered six hun­dred
and forty students for its ninety-sec­ond
session. Over four hundred aplpicants
were refused. This college has received
the highest rating by the war department

time that Davidson has been selected as a
Distinguished College.
The S. C. Presbytery recommends aboli­tion

Auburn Footprints
Auburn is seeing a merry chase between
two of her followers for the honor of being
Dean of Women. At the beginning of
school, Bruce Harkins seemed to be the
favorite for the enviable position named,
but since then Max Kahn has forged to the
front with a relentless drive in an endeav-or
to take the top position. Harkins
.•seemed to think that associating himself
at the zoo was all that was necessary; how­ever,
Kahn stole somebody's thunder and
began to eat at the zoo. The followers of
these two young men are watching with a
great deal of interest the outcome of this
apparently titanic struggle,
For the first time in her history Auburn
has a traveling ambassador. For a time
this self-elected young man claimed that
he was soliciting ads for the Auburn En­gineer
; however, later developments proved
that he was working under false pretenses.
The ambassador is studying the conditions
surrounding Womans' College at the pres­ent
time.
We can't quite understand why "Sun­shine"
Worthington remained here part of
the Summer. Some seem to think that
some other reason will have to be brought
forward, for "Sunshine" is not the sort to
endanger a. single man's reputation by
mingling with the so-called fairer sex. If
anyone can throw any light on this perplex^
ing problem, the writer will surely appre­ciate
it.
Dan Sikes, after eating dinner down at
the zoo a few days ago, had to be assisted
up the steps of the Dormitory. It is some­what
of a mystery after considering the
eats the boys are getting (possibly the
writer should say that it is no mystery at
all).
The Alumni Hall boys are getting quite
"fat and sassy", as the saying goes, for
eggs, toast, cereal, bacon, milk and cof­fee
constitute a menu that is not to be
laughed at for breakfast. Wonder what a
square meal would taste like, anyway,
Pete Spinks' military bearing on the
campus is the wonderment of all the stu­dents.
Inside information leads us to think
that possibly Pete has the colonelship
sewed up in a little leather bag. Pete might
become sociable and tell one the true facts
regarding his particular case.
We saw a fellow with a white-looking
something on the left side of his collar the
other day. Our curiosity being aroused,
we asked someone what it all meant. We
were told that it meant that the man who
wore it was now Lieutenant Nuckols. He
must have been promoted recently.
There seems to be some who believe that
the sponsors of the football games should
have their pictures put in the Beauty Sec­tion
of the next Glomerata. A sneaking
thought came along; that is, are they any
better looking than the other girls whom
the college students call their friends? We
think that somebody's sense of fairness is
about to give out.
"All things being equal", we think that it
is time to close.
ELMER GANTRY
Of all the boks to appear during the last
publishing season, there was none so eagerly
awaited as Sinclair Lewis' "Preacher-no­vel,"
"Elmer Gantry." Ever since the au­thor
told a group of ministers, whose con­vention
in Kansas City he had been attend­ing,
that "I am going to write a book about
you, and I am going to give you Hell," the
reading public has been a-gog to know
what the American master of the art of
discovering and presenting disturbing de­tails
would have to say of the ministers
of the Gospel. That is would be a spirited
novel, and that that it would be an unfav­orable
report, was to be expected from the
author of Main Street, Babbitt and Arrow-smith.
Since its publication more than
five months ago, when the full force of the
angry spleen of the book was >revealed, it
has been discussed everywhere in America
with more heat than discriminating critical
taste, and with more violent partisanship
than calm understanding of what Lewis ;
set out to do and what he has accomplished.
Ministers have from their pulpits thundered
and denounced; laymen trusting in their
spiritual over-lords have been indignant
and even abusive; the name of the author
has been taken in vain more than often.
The length to which a shocked individual
will go in denunciation of the work is to be
noticed in a short article in the June Book-.
man Magazine. The anonymous author ex­presses
his disapproval by coming finally
to the charge of atheism against Lewis, on
the old, old supposition that any man who
casts aspersions on the church or its clergy
cannot believe in God. He recalls Chel-don's
"In His Steps" and contrasts that
deeply religious' book with the irreverent,
blasphemous "Elmer Gantry." The con­trast
is surprising, no doubt, and the fact
that the latter book can be as widely read
and accepted as it is, is perhaps a sign of
the times, an indication of the temper of a
large part of the American people. But
before we are positive of what this indica­tion
is and means we ought to examine the
novel more closely to determine if it is
the positively vicious attack upon religion
and upon the Deity that its detractors as­sert
it to be. I believe that the book is first
of all a character study, and that the study
of an institution is of far less importance.
To be sure, this character is the most ut­terly
despicable one in recent fiction; but
that he is a minister is not the key to his
wickedness. Elmer Gantry would have been
a rogue wherever he was; yet it is also
true that the church furnished him a pe­culiar
opportunity for his roguery. Briefly
the story is this: Gantry is a lascivious
character, gross, unintelligent, boorish in
the extreme, who is drawn into the church
by a combination of circumstances into
which sanctity does not enter. He. receives
a training in his chosen profession under
a woman evangelist, who is a curious com­bination
of sincerity, voluptuousness, and
a thoro understanding of the nefarious
means she employs to lure souls into the
Kingdom. After her death, he aligns him-with
the Methodist chm-ch, because that
large body offers him the broader scope his
genius and ambition demand. He is suc­cessful,
eminently so, because he infuses
into his sermons something of the brusque
manner and bold phraseology of modern
advertising. He is noticed, is moved to
Letters to the Editor
During the period registration quite a
few changes were enacted. Notably of
these was the change of laundry numbers
of some students. The writer happened to
be ones of those victims effected and in­convenienced
by this change.
The laundry was dispatched early one
morning and the endurance test began.
After patience had almost been exhausted
by waiting and inquiry at the laundry of­fice
I was' finally rewarded ? by discov­ering
that the clothes that had been sent
off had by some miraculous means found
its way from the cleaning plant to the dis­tributing
room. But, what of that? Only
about half of the clothes had been cleaned,
the other part being returned because the
garments happened to be stamped with a
-number previously used by the same student.
One must admit that the first week of
school is a busy one for a college and towns­people.
Especially is this true of the laun­dry
which has more to do at this time than.
probably any other during the session. This
swell of busines, however, does not excuse
poor busines management or the incompe­tency
or ignorance of employees. If the
management of the local laundry sees fit
to change the number of any student they
should change and mark the number them­selves
and assume the responsibility.
The work done by the laundry has been
fairly satisfactory except in a few isolated
cases. When a student pays the laundry
fees the laundry should give service ac­cordingly.
It is sincerely hoped that the
Ideal will approach its names this year and
try to hold a reasonable,standard of ser­vice.
That is what we pay for and that
is what we want.
larger churches, grows in vulgarity and
sensationalism, until he hits upon the idea
destined to make him famous and bring
him to the very heights of power and in­fluence.
He becomes the avowed enemy of
vice, he who cannot refrain from petty
vices himself, preaches sermons to crowds
that overflow his church in eagerness to
hear the lurid details, wins a position in a
national anti-vice association, and is well
on hs way to national acclaim. Just as he
is about to grasp the prize he has long
sought, one of his own peccadilloes with a
church secretary is discovered, and he is
near ruin. But by quick action and the
help of an all-too-shrewd lawyer, he is
saved and the situation turned to his ad­vantage.
As the book closes, this un­speakably
vulgar and utterly contemptible
man is about to become the emperor of
American taste and morals, the judge of
conduct, and the dictator of thousands of
opinions.
The book is filled with Lewis, extraordin­arily
acute observations and very damning
details of his peeps behind the ecclesiatical
scenes. There is no writer in America who
is so adept at gathering the small indica­tions
of our weaknesses, our lapses from
reason and good sense, and marshalling
them to our utter dismay. But the very
facility with which this is done in "Elmer
Gantry" will lead one to a very central ob­servation
on Lewis' method. Now I have
not the slightest doubt that every one of
the incidents set down, every evidence of
pettifogging and charlatanry and sensa­tionalism,
is to be found somewhere in
America. They are all true, in the sense
that they exist; but when these details are
brought together in a single book, with the
suggestion that they are true generally of
the class from which they have individually
been drawn, then one sees that the result­ing
picture is one essentially untrue. One
refuses to believe that Gantry is represen­tative
of 'the clergy, and the Methodist
clergy in particular. Gantry is a composite
figure made up of all of the craven things
that could be discovered in the religious
fold, the man of straw that is the butt of
Lewis' scorn and violent reaction against
the church. This method of arguing a
cause must be called journalistic; indeed
Lewis the artist has long since been swal­lowed
up. in Lewis the reporter. It is to his
credit that there is no more capable re­porter
writing novels anywhere, and that
he has the ear of literally millions, if not
directly thru his books, then thru the com­ment
that they arouse. One may of course
have his own opinion of whether Lewis is a
good influence. I happen to feel that he
knocking a great many misconceptions out
of people's heads, and pointing out in a
most salutary way the shams that exist
in business, social life, and in institutional­ized
religion. To do that seems to me a
wholesome thing, because it is one prelimin­ary
step to allowing more reason and in­telligence
to prevail in these realms. I
regret the manner and the impoliteness,
to say the least,-with whjch it is being done,
but we have all seen other and gentler
means fail. Will the end in the case justify
the means? I trust that it will,
Lewis has been very angry in this book;
his best judgement has been overbalanced,
and he has allowed his prejudices to come
out'too strongly. As a result "Elmer Gan­try"
suffers as a novel, while it perhaps
gains in effectiveness as a social document
in readable and interesting form. It is as
a pungent social criticism that the book
ought to be read. It is not against God or
His church that Lewis is tilting directly,
but against the smaller replicas of Elmer
Gantry that are in the church, and give
institutional religion a tone objectionable
out of all proportion to the nmber of such
individuals there are. There are good men
in great numbers in the church, but the
Gantrys are too many, and they seem to be
on the increase. I think it just enough to
say that only in the church could such a con­summate
villain as Gantry flourish and re­main
undiscovered. Because the church
thru many ages has been held to be a holy-institution,
are people to refrain from
criticism of a few of its ministers and some
of its practices? If the church or its minis­ters
take that position, it seems to me that
they are inviting just the reaction against
both the church and the deity. Is it not bet­ter
to take such criticism gracefully, and
ask with intelligent people everywhere, the
question put by one of the honest and broad-minded
preachers in the book: "Would you
condemn a fine, aspiring institution, full of
broad-guaged, earnest fellows, because one
of them was a wash-out?" And I am sure
the answer would be an unequivocal "NO!"
—but with this proviso: "If you get rid of
the Gantrys".
It will be seen that this novel is one sure
to arouse opinion and call forth expressions
of it. Discussion is healthy, for those en­gaged
in it, and for the institution involved.
Because this book has a definite point of
view, because it will continue to be upon
the public mind, I hope you will read, if you
haven't yet done so, Sinclair Lewis's last
novel, "Elmer Gantry."

REPAIRS BEING
MADE ON GYM;
The College gymnasium is under­going
an extensive repairing program
in an effort to pave the way for com­pletion
of the original plants.
At present the building is being
painted inside and out, new fixtures
are being put in, hardware replaced
uniformly, remodelling the dressing
rooms, and putting on a new roof.
The swimming pool is being covered
over in order to get space to build a
Freshman dressing room. The varsity
dressing rooms are being remodeled.
A new addition is a drying room for
uniforms making it possible to keep
them much better. The entire floor
plan is being rearranged to offer bet­ter
service to each of the athletic or­ganizations.

J. V. Brown, athletic director, has
opened his office in the gym and. is
taking" charge of the revisions.
It is hoped in the near future that
the extensions, anticipated when the
original plans were drawn will soon
be erected so as to give more office

were the optimistic presumptions of
our new director.
If these plans go through it will
provide for a large number of addi­tional

During the summer a new feature
in broadcasting baseball'results was
inaugurated at W. A. P. I. as an ex­periment
which proved pleasing to
the baseball fans.
The results of baseball games in
the American, the National, the
Southern, and t h e Southeastern
leagues were broadcast along with the
names of the pitchers, catchers, and
players hitting home runs.
The regular noon program was
given all summer. During this hour
musical numbers and talks of interest
to many of the people of the state
were given'. This music varied from
the light.classical-music to the old-time
fiddle music. The discussions
covered various subjects in agricul­ture,
home economics, current topics
and religious subjects.
? Among the outstanding programs
broadcast Was the Master Farmers
banquet program from Smith Hall,
here on* the campus, at which the ten
leading farmers of the state were
entertained by the Progressive Farm­er.
On all .programs the weather.fore­cast
and market reports were given.
This feature seemed pleasing to many
farmers and other business men. A
resume of the market was given once
each week.
HONORARY
SOCIETIES ARE
BENEFICIAL
Was the early student as versatile
as the modern one? It seems that this
question can easily be answered by
these words—honorary fraternities
develop highly versatile students. To­day
our colleges offer not only the
straight curriculum but also a chance
to join and participate in several dif­ferent
types of honorary fraternities
which aid in developing a four-sided
man or woman.
At the Alabama Polytechnic Insti­tute
there have been fourteen national
honorary fraternities installed in the
last ten years. There are also six
local honorary organizations.
The question is being asked: Are
there too many organizations on the
campus of our college? "At some col­leges
there exist too few, but at Au­burn,
there are too many," according
to Professor C. A. Baughman, chair­man
of the committee on honorary
fraternities at this institution. With
so many on the campus, it is difficult
to maintain high standards." -
Professor Baughman said he con­sidered
scholarship as the first and
foremost qualification for election to
such a society. "Many of the honor-

ary societies have their scholastic
averages too low and one or two have
been ruled out on this campus because
of this fact. A second qualification
which should play no little part in the
election of new members is high
character. This qualification is un­deniably
essential. A students par­ticipation
in other college activities
is perhaps another qualification
though not an essential one.
The statement of Professor Thomas
W. Fitzgerald, head of the depart­ment
at Georgia School of Technology
regarding the number of honorary so­cieties
was as follows: "As the re­quirements
for membership are gen­erally
slightly different, I think it
is a good plan to have different honor
societies provided there is a group
of fity students to select from.
Some of the chief objections for too
many honorary fraternities at col­lege
are, first if a man gets elected to
one, he probably makes several and
sometimes he neglects his school work
to participate in these outside activi­ties.
This is one good reason why
all such organizations should maintain
a high scholastic average for entrance
into thenu Secondly, often when a
student is elected to several societies,
he hates to refuse but often has to
because of financial embarrassment.
One might ask, "what is the value
of these organizations while in school.
Besides the devolpment of* versatility,
which is extremely important in a wel-rounded
student, it widens the circle
of friends that a student has in col­lege.
In joining honorary organiza­tions,
a student becomes acquainted
with other social fraternity and non-fraternity
men. A. student has the
opportunity to broaden his outlook by
coming into close contact with many
different types of men.
Not only are these organizations
beneficial while students are in
school, but also when they go out into
the world to work, they are of much
value1. Many Greek-letter men never
would know each other except by their
keys or pins. r
According to the statement of
Professor Baughman, the" society
which has the largest number of stu­dents
to select members from he con­siders
the best society.
After naming the purposes of the
honorary organizations at Auburn
and other colleges, it seems- that the
ideals which they strive to uphold and
'he assistance which they try to ren­der
to the students make honorary
fraternities beneficial. If they are
beneficial, they will probably remain
in our colleges and as the years roll
by, they will increase in number and
power.

AUBURN PRIMED FOR FRAY

(Continued from Page 1.)
the famous Tiger mentor is a punter.
Buck Ellis, Thurston Adams and Jim
Crawford has succeeded in getting
the most distance out of their boots
in the past, but there is no telling
just who will be assigned the regular
berth in a contest. Bolton Shotts
will undoubtedly do the place-kicking
for the point after touch-down and
has succeeded in gaining a remark­able
degree of accuracy. Little one
point may seem, it plays the largest
possible part in a large number of
games.
Last Saturday evening a very in­spiring
mass meeting was held in
Langdon Hall for the benefit of the
new-comers. Several short talks were
made and practically all of the lea­ders
of the different Campus organi­zations
were introduced. "Dooley"
Gilchrist, our celebrated cheer leader
then led the house in cheers and en
deavored to install the good old Au­burn
spirit in the "Rats." And after
the meeting, the "Rats" gave a very
remarkable example of true enthusi­asm
and spirit, even though they did
overdo several articles on civilization.
This enthusiasm should, in the fu­ture,
be reserved till after the games
or during the games.
Among the leading candidates are:
Captain Patterson, Burt and Green—
Centers; "Dummy" Howard, Pete
Spinks, Bull Andress, Turner and
Holtzclaw—Guards, "Sister" Cun­ningham,
"Red" Carter, "Hop"
Pearce, Scarborough and Leach—
Tackles; Merritt Burns, Rupert In­gram,
John Mosley, Sam Robinson,
and Long—Ends; "Nappy" Hodges,
Luke Ward, Thurston Adams and
Lively—Quarters; Mike Fisher, Buck
Ellis, Snitz Snider, Jim Crawford,
Chink Cosper, Hartselle and Sellers—
Half-backs; Bolton Shotts, Porter
Callahan and Stumpy Granger-
Fulls. This is only a partial list of
the squad, the best are not to be
named nor is a first string line up
but as prospects now appear, the
starting eleven will average around
190 pounds from tackle to tackle with
175 pound ends and a back field top­ping
the scales at or near to 170
pounds.
The probable line-up according to
sccrimmage should read like this:
L. E.—Burns.
L. T.—Cunningham.
L. G.—Howard.
C.—Patterson.
R. G.—Spinks.
R. T.—Carter.
R. E.—Mosley.
Q. B.—Ward.
L. H.—Fisher.

W. M. Askew, '02
Pi\ge> 4. THE PLAINSMAN
Red Br own*s Frosh Outfit Begins to
Take Shape As First Game Nears
That there is plenty of material on there are irien just about as good as
hand for the Rat team this coming
year is quite evident from the num­ber
of men on the field last week in
uniform. There was no end to the
comments of the spectators, especi­ally
some of our old friends who are
really interested, on the wealth of ma­terial
on hand. Though we are rea­sonable
to expect s«me real football
from this crowd, we cannot expect
them to perform as would a team of
experienced players. It must be rem­embered
that these men come from
widely scattered localities and each
has his individual style of football,
each was brought up under a differ­ent
system of coaching, and of course,
none of these men are well acquainted
with the Auburn style and system.
The chief causes for their failure to
show the proper team work lies in
these facts. However, there are still
several more days before the first
game, and by that time there is every
reason to expect Coach Brown to have
developed a team worthy of the name
Auburn. There is plenty of weight on
hand for the line, and several good
linesmen are fighting it out for the
privilege of finding their name in the
lineup for the coming game. Several
well-known prep-men are on hand to
fight it out for the various backfield
positions.
The first scrimmage of the season
was held last Wednesday. Up to that
time the practice had been devoted to
hardening of muscles and general con­ditioning
of the men. This was
achieved by kicking and passing the
ball around, running signals, and
grass drill. But now shoulder pads
and helmets are in evidence, and the
grind of another season is in full
- sway. The red headed mentor of the
frosh believes in work, and has been
putting them through until late every
intofaed moh nw then oshrdlu etaor
afternoon. The men have been whip­ped
into fairly good condition by
now, and so he has started them
scrimmaging. The slightly cooler
weather has been a great boon to the
perspiring candidates, too, and they
have been reeling off plays with a
greater than heretofore has been
shown. The scrimmage last Wednes­day
was ,the first opportunity the rats
have had to show their wares and
several of them demanded the atten­tion
of the coach by some speed and
effective work.
Keen competition is in evidence
among the whole rat squad. The men
realize that no team has as yet been
chosen, and every man'is putting out
to the best of his ability. The man
coming here from a small high school
without a state wide reputation and
who has not received the publicity ac­corded
his more fortunate teammates
has an equal chance to convince the
coach of his competency and win the
coveted numeral. There are enough
men out to afford a keen rivalry for
every position. - This tends to get the
best out of the men, for there is no
surer way to get the most work out
of a man than to let him know that he
hasn't his position sewed up and that
he who are ready to step in and fill
his shoes if he falls down on the job.
There cannot as yet be any authen­tic
dope on the relative strength of
the team. Just who will show up
best in the days to come, cannot be
foretold right now. Coach Brown
himself says he does not have the
slightest idea of which men will start
off the first game. There is no firsi
team, all the men are out there work­ing
with as much chance as another.
Everything depends on what the men
show in the next two weeks of prac­tice.
The way the men perform in
the scrimmage sessions determines to
a large extent the selection of the
team for the opening game. This
next week should give us a pretty
good line on the probabilities for the
coming season.
The team is riot sufficiently or­ganized
so far for the election of a
captain. It is not known whether
they will have a captain for the en­tire
season or have a captain for each
game. That will all be worked out
as the squad progresses. Cush Wood
is handling the managerial end for
the freshmen.
The following is an improvised list
of the candidates for the various posi­tions:
Ends, Bearden, Harkins, Stine,
Griffin, Cindo; Tackles, Jacobs, New­ton,
Taylor; Guards, Hill, Sheehan,
Ezell; Centers, Frazier, Dreaden,
Nolan; Backs, Chambliss, Sellers, Her-ron,
Hoskins, Winn, McCluskin,
Wingo, Sommerval, Dempsey, Shanks,
Snider.
MIKE FISHER
Mike Fisher, running under his new
title of "Rabbit" Harris, is expected
to come through with all the accomp­lishments
of his namesake.
Fisher hails from LaGrange, Geor­gia,
where he made a fine record in
high school, being picked on the all-state
prep school team. This summer
Mike kept in trim by carrying ice.
Saturday this dashing young ice­man,
playing his second year at the
halfback position, will enter upon a
new campaign for greater glory of
"King David's" Auburn Tigers.
"SNITZ" SNIDER
It was at the Oak Grove High
School that Snider began his foot­ball
career. Oak Grove, which is in
Jefferson County, is twenty miles
frorii Birmingham. Under the direc­tion
of Coach James A. Davis, he
scrubbed for two years, and played
varsity football for the last two years.
He was one of the fastest men to be
found in the state of Alabama.
After finishing high school "Snitz"
decided to come to Auburn. Here he
went out for the Freshman team, but
the coaches did not realize what a
valuable man he was until near the
end of the season. He only played in
the last two games, but made a name
for himself in the game against Ft.
Benning. He grabbed a pass and ran
eighty five yards for a touchdown in
this game.
During his Sophomore year, he did
not make his letter, but made about
half the trips with the team. Last
year Snider came back into the lime­light
by starting off the season as a
first string man. He was in the ma­jority
of the games, playing halfback,
and the opponents always realized
that he was there. In the Sewanee
game Snider was at his best. Many
times he hit the Purple line for con­sistent
gains, .and was on the receiv­ing
end of the pass that resulted in
the lone touchdown of the tilt. He
was one of the fastest men or the
field, and we are expecting great
things of him this year. "Snitz" says
he is going to give the best he has
to Auburn, and thinks we will have a
great season.
"Weemie" Bashin
Gains High Honors
In Track Realms
To Represent the U. S. A. and
Auburn in the 1928 Olympic*
To Captain "Weemie" Baskin of
the 1927 Auburn Track Team goes
the decided honor of being the.best
120 yard high hurdler in the States.
After College let out last session,
Coach Hutsell escorted Baskin to the
Inter-Collegiate Track Meet at Chi­sago.
And Baskin emerged the vic­tor.
Baskin is one of the three
Southern lads to ever win first place
in a track meet of this class and
brought much fame to himself, Au­burn,
to the South as a whole and to
Carollton, Georgia, in particular.
Carrollton, Georgia is the proud
birth-place of "Weemie" and lost no
time in advertising same. A very
recent celebration k/iown a "Baskin
Day", signs were displayed with the
following slogan; "St. Louis has her
Lindberg, Italy'has her Mussolini, but
Carrollton has her Baskin." The day
was a grand "and glorious one, being
occupied with feasting, speeches and
of course a short talk by the hero.
Baskin earned for himself the
title of "Iron Man of the Track"
while running under Tiger colors and
did much to keep up the high rating
of Coach Hutsel's track harriers. He
will be sorely riiissed and hard to
forget. Besides the high and low
hurdles, he excelled in hurling the
shot, javelin and discus. In the five
above mentioned events, "Weemie"
holds the record at the "fairest vil­lage
of the plains" for four'of them.
When Baskin sails over the broad
Atlantic to take on all Foreign op­position,
all Auburn will be for him,
pulling for him; and knowing he will
give his all to come out victor for
his home, his Country and for Au­burn.
Tiger Topics
Auburn atheletes strutted their
stuff at the annual summer camp held
this past summer at Fort Benning.
In track, there were few events that
were not won by the Orange and
Blue boys. "Tuxy" Tuxworth led
in points scored by taking five first
places. Tamplin ran him a closeH
second and "Papa" .Hood, Tech's tsar j
shot and discus man was third. In
baseball, Cush. Wood, Buck Ellis and
Ben Sankey upheld all reports of

their ability. Cush pitched several
mighty good games. It was largely
through his excellent hurling that
the doe-boys were able to trounce
the Paris Island Marines. Ben San­key
.established himself as hard hit­ter
by socking out a home run, a
triple and a double in one game.
Buck was brought in from the field
and showed excellent ability as an
in fielder.
Rumor has it that "Nappy" Hod­ges
may return to the Fair Village
to resume his athletic carreer as a
Tiger quarter-back. His return is
very advantageous as he has had
much experience at Auburn and else­where.
He was a regular quarter
under Morey's tutelage last season
and showed up very well. Hodges
is an excellent field general and
handles the ball to a perfection. Stock
would advance considerable with his
return. -
Louisiana Poly. "Gob" Wilson, head
coach at the same college is a former
Auburn coach. Our best wishes are
that these former Tigers will have a
very successful year with their pig­skin
artist.
Auburn baseballers are scattered
far1 and wide over the Southland as
a result of trades and farming sys­tems.
"Red" Griffin, who captained
an Auburn nine two years in his ca-rere,
is now with the Pensacola
Fliers. "Red" sustained a broken
leg early in the season and is just
getting back in the game. Monday
was his first day. He played second
base, received six chances without a
bobble and accumulated five bingles
in as many times at the bat. Seems
as if he should go higher next year.
opens up the season by sending hig
strong Cloverdale outfit against their
rivals from Pike Road, Friday night
in Cramton Bowl. Cloverdale is ex­pecting
the best team she has ever
boasted of and the players are giving
their best for their school and Mc-
Fadden. Come on "Bull," we're with
you up here on the Plains!
Tramp: Say lady can't you give me
something for my dinner?
Lady: I will if you will split up that
pile of wood.
(After a few minutes) How did
you get the job done so quickly?
Tramp: Oh, I cracked a good joke
and they split themselves laughing.
vLady: But there are some logs
there uncut.
Tramp: They're English Walnuts.
They'll split themselves next week. .

According to P. R. Bidez, Director
the Famous Auburn Band has promise
of being the best this year in the his­tory
of the Alabama Polytechnic in­stitute.
This statement was m If. in
view of the fact that practically all
the old band men will return and
with the addition of the new material
available the organization will be the
strongest and the best since its found­ing
thirty one years ago.
The band forms an interesting ad­dition

large. The musical organization
forms the main rib of the Auburn
Spirit and is the center of activity
when supporting the athletic contests.
The Famous Auburn Band is the
oldest college band in the south and
the only one that functions the en­tire
year. The band had a small be­ginning
in a drum and bugle corps,
founded by Professor 'Fullan. The
organization though small was a
great addition to the battallion in
those days. It was used in parades
and reviews of the R. O. T. C. units
and still performs that function with
credit.
Professor A. L. Thomas became Di­rector
after the band had made a
name for itself. Under his able lead­ership
the band was developed into
the foremost college musical organiza­tion
in the country. A number of
trips arid tours were made including
Oklahoma City, Oklahoma, Chatta­nooga,
Tampa, and Mobile in the
itinerary.

Mr. Bidez was the director of

FUNCTIONS OF
T EXPLAINED
FRIENDSHIP COUNCIL
Practically all of the upperclassmen
know the purpose of the Friendship
Council, but for the benefit of the
new men, it may be well to explain
the function of the Council. The
Friendship Council at Auburn is the
organized working organ of the Y
M. C. A., the instrument through
which the Y. M. G. A. reaches the
larger number of Auburn students.
The organization of the Council is
simple. Thepe are two divisions—
Orange and Blue, over which there is
a Colonel, who is usually the Y. M.
C. A. president. Over each division
there is a major who has charge of
the. team captains in his division.
Each captain has as many as five
lieutenants who mhe appoints and
these lieutenants h o l d discussion
groups among the students. They
also have the responsibility of getting
to the students the things that the
Y. M. C. A. stands for and is trying
to do.
baton. It is a significant fact that all
three directors are still connected with
Auburn and continue to take a deep
interest in the band.
During the Thirtieth Birthday Cere­monies
celebrated during Commence­ment
week last June a number of in­teresting
facts were disclosed.
The boys learned the rudiments of
music slowly because of the lack of
equipment. The well known 'Jennie
Lynne', and alto horn of ancient de­sign
and foreign make served the!'
purpose.. The boys would line up and
take turns blowing Jennie until they
mastered the fingering. This was be­fore
the arrival of the instruments
which were weeks in coming.
Tryouts for the band will be held
in the music room, Langdon Hall
during the week ending September 17.
Any musician who can play creditably
will please see Mr. Bidez at the
above place or in the State Chemical
Laboratory.

DEAN FUNCHESS
PUTS STRESS ON
WORK ]N CLASS
M. J. Funchess, dean of college ag­riculture
and director of experiment
station, during his talk tonight to
the largest ag. club meeting that has
ever met in Auburn, emphasized the
necessity of letting class work come
first. This was the first meeting for
this scholastic year.
George Williams, president of the
club, gave each student welcome to
the club as well as to the activities
of the club. He then introduced Dean
Funchess as a full supporter of- the
club and a man to visit in a time of
need.
"Let class work come first and col­lege
activities come secondary but do
not let the college activities lag,
neither be a bookworm," declared
Dean Funchess. Dean Funchess also
said that the student should do real
work and not just merely go through
college in a route manner. He said,
"I've seen men come and go during
my eighteen years of connection with
the college and I've seen all types of
them, both real men and drifters,
therefore I advise you to be real men.
Dean Funchess said further, "the
doing of the voluntary thing makes
the man for it is the potential capa­city
that counts." He said, the ag
club, the club paper—The Alabama
Farmer, the ag. fair and various
other agricultural activities must.be
fostered.
J. B. Beard, editor in chief of the
Alabama Farmer, put in a plea for
100 per cent subscriptions to the
paper of the students, and for full
support of the student body in help­ing
to put the paper over.
J. D. Tucker, manager of the ag.
fair, told a few of the many features
that the fair would put over this time.
Ellis Diseker, Librarian, expressed
his idea of maintaining a library.

CERTIFICATE IS

FROM MEMORIAL
A certificate recognizing the con­tribution
of $750 made by Auburn to
the Walter Camp Memorial has been
-received by the college.
The certificate reads: "Erected by
the universities, colleges and schools
of America as a memorial to Walter
Camp, 'Father of American Foot­ball'
". The Alabama Polytechnic In­stitute
by its contribution has aided
this national tribute to the memory
of a great sportsman. The pictures
of the famous athlete and coach ready
for action in 1878, on the sidelines in
1924 and a sketch of the memorial
gateway, wall and plaza that form
the approach to the Walter Camp
Fields of Yale University. The
sportsmanship code as typified by the
life of Camp completes the document.
The name of the Alabama Poly­technic
Institute will be cut in the
stone wall flanking the memorial gate­way.
This is a material expression
of collegiate America to the lever of
clean sports, the greatheart of Ameri­can
football.

AUBURN BAND
PROMISES TO
BE FOREMOST
According to the attendance at the
first formal band practice of the
year the Auburn Band promises to
develop into one of the foremost col­lege
bands in the south. "In spite
of the loss by graduation of some of
the leading musicians, the organiza­tion
is destined to assume its former
place in college musical circles," de­clared
P. R. Bidez, band director.
During the past week a large number
of freshmen have been given trial.
However only a few were enrolled.
During the past commencement the
Auburn Band celebrated its thirtieth
anniversary, being the oldest college Wirt Hall was, on Tuesday night,
band in the south. It was founded by I under the able leadership of S. S.
Impromptu talks were made by sev­eral,
and the prospects for this year
< kre very promising.
A regular program will be planned
for our next meeting next Tuesday
night, and w6 earnestly urge all old
members to be present especially, and
we cordially invite all new! students
who really want to. be able to do some
good literary society work to come.
We have a reasonably limited number
which will enable better work to be
done if the student were in a so­ciety
with a larger number.' Not
quantity, bu quality is what we seek
to make up our society. Be there.

most wonderful program. Informal,
however, in its proceedings, the pro­gram
was enjoyed very much by the
many old members who returned to
enjoy the bountiful blessings of the

students who deemed it wise to unite
with the "Oldest and Best" society on
the campus.
The meeting was primarily to get
together and get everyone acquain­ted.
This was done by asking each
member, both old and new, to intro­duce
himself. This method seeming­ly
worked very effectively in getting
all members acquainted with each
other.
