WELCOME PREP SCHOOL MEN THE WELCOME PREP SCHOOL MEN TO FOSTER THE AUBURN SPIRIT VOLUME LI AUBURN, ALABAMA, FRIDAY, FEBRUARY 17, 1928 NUMBER 20 PREP BASKET BALL TOURNAMENT OPENS HERE ON THURSDAY GEN. R. P. DAVIS TO REVIEW LOCAL R.0.T.C FEBRUARY 22 Washington's Birthday to Be Observed by Exercises Here TO MAKE ADDRESS 11 A. M. First Time in Recent Years Area Commander Has Visited Auburn Washington's birthday, February 22, will be fittingly celebrated this year by a military review and inspection of the Auburn R. O. T. C. unit by Major General Richmond P. Davis, commander of the fourth corps area. Major General Davis is on an inspection tour of this area and will come here from Fort Benning. Auburn is honored by his presence here for not only is this his first visit since assuming command but is also the first time in recent years that a commander of the area has visited the school, having heretofore sent members of his staff as~ representatives. This visit is no doubt due to the fact that for the last seven years Auburn has been rated as a distinguished college, an enviable record. The review and inspection are to be held at 10:30 a. m., followed by an address in Langdon Hall at 11:00 a. m. At 12:30 Major General Davis will be "entertained by Dr. Dowell at a luncheon and from 1:30 to 3:00 he will inspect the facilities and equipment of the R. O. T. C. unit here. At 3:00 P. M. he will depart for Montgomery where he will inspect Maxwell Field. Major Kennedy, commandant, urges that all students taking R. O. T. C. have their uniforms in first class condition on this day and for this reason it is not necessary to' wear them to classes during the week. Not only is it desirable to make a good impression on our visitors but Auburn has a splendid record which must be upheld and the student body should back Major Kennedy up in this effort. CONTEST RULES ARE ANNOUNCED Pamphlets Are Ready for Distribution to Contestants Rules and regulations governing the essay contest which is being sponsored by the Alabama Farm Bureau Federation and the Alabama Farm Bureau Cotton Association, have been announced, according to the Montgomery Advertiser of Feb. 8. Working with these two associations are county farm bureaus, and the extension service. The subject of the essay is to be the "Cooperative Marketing as it Affects the Cotton Farmer." This should be very 4nuch in keeping with the recent movement to help the cotton farmer. These rules and regulations have been compiled into pamphlet form and are now ready for distribution. The rules are, the entries, boys or girls, must be 21 years old, and with not more than a high school education. On April 27, at places announced in each county, the contestants will assemble to take the essay. The essay is to be (Continued on page six) SIGMA PHI BETA HAS DINNER PARTY Faculty Members Are Guests of Sorority Here Sigma Phi Beta soroity entertained last Saturday night with a five course dinner party. The spirit of St. Valentine was brought out in the decorations of the dining room, hall and living room by cupids and valentines. Those enjoying the affair were: Misses Louise Glanton, Helen Dum-mond, Mrs. Henry Good, Misses Eu-lane Hoffman, Dorothy Donavan and members and pledges of the sorority. BAND LEAVES ON FRIDAY TO PLAY AT MARDI GRAS Thirty Members To Go To Mobile for Six Days TO GIVE DAILY CONCERTS Boys Will Be Entertained in Homes of Mobile People The Auburn band will don their uniforms Friday and journey to Mobile to play for the Mardi Gras exercises. The band composed of some thirty members will leave here on the 9:07 Friday morning for Mobile to participate in the Mardi Gras programme. They will take an important part in all activities, giving a concert each morning and Sunday afternoon. They will also lead the parades and wear the full cape uniform. Mobile plans to entertain the band members royally, taking them into their homes and has invited them to all the dances and picture shows. Among the personnel of the band are a number of Mobile boys who are looking forward to returning home for the annual Mardi Gras festivities. The musicians will arrive back in Auburn on Wednesday morning Feb. 22 in time for the military exercises. BLUE KEY SOCIETY VERY ACTIVE HERE Trophy to be Awarded to Outstanding Student Blue Key has proved itself one of the most beneficial and active organizations on the campus. Meetings are held every two weeks at luncheon, and questions of interest to the student body and of vital concern to the college are discussed. One of the most important duties that the Blue Key has assumed is the problem of adequately providing for the housing, information, and entertainment of all visiting athletic teams. Arrangements for the Cotton States Tournament, to be held in Auburn this week, have been taken care of by the society and the visiting teams will be assured a delightful visit. The cooperation of Blue Key with the Ki-wanis Club will%lso be a great help in putting on the Will Rogers program next month. In addition to this work, the society gives an annual award, the Blue Key Trophy, to the man who has rendered the most outstanding service to Auburn during his college career. This man is selected from the Senior Class by a faculty committee, of which W. H. Hutsell is chairman. Marriage of Auburn's Mayor Is of Interest Dr. Yarbrough and Miss Strudwiek Are Married in Florence A wedding centering the interest of a wide circle of friends throughout the South was that of Miss Mary Rebecca Strudwiek, of Demopolis, Ala., and Dr. Cecil Sentello Yarbrough, of Auburn, which was solemnized Sunday afternoon on the wedding anniversary of the bride's parents, at the home of the bride's brother and sister, Mr. and Mrs. Lester Rice Nor-vell, in Florence. Dr. Yarbrough is a member of a prominent family of East Alabama. He is a physicial of note and is mayor of Auburn, where they will be at home after a wedding trip to Washington, D. C. Among the out-of-town guests at the wedding were Mrs. Samuel Strudwiek and Carter C. Strudwiek, of Demopolis, Mrs. Edward C. Snow, of Las Cruces, N. M., Mrs. Marvin R. Heflin, of Columbus, Ga., Dr. and Mrs. John Kimbrough, of Hartselle relatives of the bride and Homer Wright, of Auburn. R. O. T. C. Discussed At Council Meeting "Should R. O. T. C. be required in. our college?" was the subject discussed at the Friendship Council discussions this week. Capt. Anderson presented the subject at the Normal Discussion at the "Y" Monday night at 6:30, and brought out some interesting facts about R. O. T. C. in colleges, and further into the outlook of R. O. T. C. which is preparedness for war. War in the past has been an inevitable thing, and indications are that it will continue to be so. Efforts to control war by brotherly love methods, though they may be good, will never secure absolute world peace due to different nationalities and to different economic interests in different countries or in the same country. Practically all wars have been from economic causes. It is the opinion of Capt. Anderson that R. O. T. C. in our college is (Continued on Page 6.) MILITARY BALL ARRANGEMENTS ARE COMPLETED Brilliant Social Affair Takes Place February 21 GOV. GRAVES EXPECTED General R. P. Davis Also Is Invited to Attend Dance MANY VISITORS WILL HEAR WILL R0GERSSPEAK Governor Graves and General Collins are Invited by Anderson TICKETS ARE GOING FAST Auburn Fortunate To Book Appearance of Mr. Rogers Arrangements Completed All arrangements have been com pleted and everybody in Auburn is marking time awaiting the sound of the bugle which will officially open the annual military ball given by the cadet officers of the R. O. T. C. unit promptly at ten o'clock Tuesday nite February the 21. It has long been the custom of army posts to have brilliant affairs on this date, and since its introduction into Auburn it has become one of the outstanding social events of the school year. Notables Expected Governor Bibb Graves, Major General Richard P. Davis and their respective staffs which will be in Auburn on Washington's birthday have been invited, and it is expected that they will anticipate their visit by arriving in time for this.fuction. Decorations The decoration committee has been hard at work. Everything will be in keeping with the occasion and will help to create a martial atmosphere. From a artillery wheel suspended from the ceiling as the center, red, white, and blue crepe streamers will radiate in all directions. The R. O. T. C. regimental colors will also be a feature of the decorations. Crossed infantry rifles with the various engineer and artillery battery guidons will be ranged around the room. To give a finishing touch to the military atmosphere various light weight firing pieces including a one pounder, a stokes mortar, and machine guns will be placed about the orchestra stage. The program includes two no-breaks, an artillery leadout ,an engineer leadout, and a Scabbard and Blade leadout. Besides these, the program will include several features that the committee has planned and which will furnish excellent entertainment. / Invitations Sent Invitations have been sent to a hundred and twenty-five girls representing five different states. Many have already acepted and many more probably will before the week is out. The names of the invited girls are listed below: Misses Louise Adams, Mildred Adams, Katherine Agricola, J. Beth Apperson, Kirk Armstrong, Elveree Arnold, Edith Ball, Louise Ballowe, Anna Bendersky, Mildred Burgin, Frances Dissell, Margaret Caldwell, Katherine Clay, Majorie Clifton, May Coggin, Claire Cook, Louise Crenshaw, Ethel Cushing, Taylee David- (Continued on page 6) Governor and Mrs. Bibb Graves and General Edgar T. Collins, commanding officer of Fort Benning, Georgia, may be among those present in Auburn on March 3 when Will Rogers will deliver one of his famous monologues during which he will talk about "everything and everybody." Capt. B. C. Anderson, president of the Kiwanis Club of Auburn, the organization sponsoring the Will Rogers feature, has sent invitations to these high officials, asking them to be present as guests of the club. Replies have not been received. Meantime, Emmett Sizemore who is directing ticket sales, announces that all $2.50 tickets have been sold, leaving only the $1.50 and $2.00 tickets. The cheaper tickets are for the balcony of the Gymnasium in which Mr. Rogers will present his entertainment, and most of these will be taken by students. They are being sold at drug stores in Auburn. When Mr. Rogers "strolls out" on the platform at Auburn that night he will face not only an Auburn audience but an East Alabama audience. Army officials and others at Fort Benning and some from Columbus, Georgia, have bought tickets already,,, and others are expected to do so. LaGrange and West Point and other Georgia towns will be represented as well as a dozen or more towns in East Alabama. One man sent a check for $115.00. In bringing Mr. Rogers to Auburn it is pointed out that the Kiwanis club has made it possible for many to hear him who would be unable to go to a distant city. It is unusual for a town of this size to be able to book him, but all indications are that it will go over in a big way. HOOT NANNIE'S NEW CHAPTERS Grand Officers Install Five Chapters in Atlanta The Royal Order of the Hoot Nannies" established five chapters in Atlanta, Ga. last week and will put as many in Birmingham this week end, we are told by Grand Papa Dick Adams of The "Hoot Nannies." The installation of the five new chapters bring the total number of chapters to Five Thousand and Five. It is generally known that the Hoot Nannies will be 50,000,000 strong in a few months and that that will be the limit as the constitution reads that there shall be no more than that number on the roster at one time. The initiation it Atlanta was in charge of High Wiffenpobf Papa Jack Fain Head scribe No. 1, who is a member of the grand council of Hoot Nannies. Brother Adams was unable to make the trip as he was suffering from a very bad case of the D. T's, which he contracted during the dances. He elected in his place though a very capable man, none other than "Dusty" Porter, also a member of the grand council. The team went up in Jack Fain's car, riding nine in a four passenger vehicle. Another car also carried a load (?) to Atlanta; it was piloted by "Sir Don" May a prominent member of the organization. The team was entertained Friday night before the initiation by the Pi Phi sorority with a large formal dance at the Druid Hills Golf Club in Atlanta. The members of the initiation team were: George Morgan, Charlie Davis, Jack McLesky, Dusty Porter, Jack Fain, Don May, Hubert Jackson, Jimmie' Parker, Harry Riley, Wilcox Randle and Breezy Winn. Mr. McClesky Dies in Atlanta Last Week Jack McClesky, of Atlanta, a member of the freshman class has left school because of the death of. his father who died last Thursday as a result of an automobile accident. Mr. McClesky was seriously injured on Feb. 4th, when the car in which he was riding collided with an oil truck near Athens, Ga. Both cars were overturned, killing six instantly and seriously injuring several others. He was rushed to a hospital in Athens where he was later operated on and was beginning to show signs of improvement Monday, but was worse Tuesday due to internal injuries which had not been known up until that time. Mr. McCleskey died Thursday morning and was buried in Abbeville, South Carolina Friday. Jack, upon hearing of his father's condition left here Tuesday night and reached his father just a few hours before his death. WORK STARTED ON HOME OF NEW M0VIETOEATRE Auditorium to Seat Nine Hundred Persons Planned SPANISH STYLE TO BE USED Building Expected "to be Com-p l e t ed Early in May Construction work has been started, by the J. M. Thomas estate, on a new moving picture house. This house is being built on the lot adjoining the Thomas hotel. Thenew theatre will be a modern structure of Spanish architecture and the' equipment will include up to date heating, lighting and colling arrangements. It will be a single story affair 60 by 165 feet and will not have a balcony. The floor will slope to the front in order that a clear view of the screen may be had from any seat in the house. The theatre will have a seating capacity of 900 and will cost $30,000. Only first run pictures corresponding to those' presented in the larger cities will be shown. An orchestra will furnish music at the night performance and the "management is planning on installing a pipe organ so that they may give the best music in connection with the pictures. It is thought that the theatre will be one of the most comfortable and enjoyable in East Alabama. Contract for the building was let to T. R. Buning, of Atlanta, and the interior decoration is to be done by an Atlanta expert. The theatre will operate under the name of Tiger Theatre, Inc., Auburn, Alabama, of which R. B. Wilby is president, and T. A. Rogers is Secretary-manager. The contract calls for completion by June the 1st, but if the weather permits it will be completed early in May.

MISS PICKENS IS STAFF ADDITION Has Had Experience in North Carolina Work After nine years of successful experience as county agent in North Carolina and a special university course, Miss Nell Pickens has come to Alabama to join the extension service staff of the Alabama Polytechnic Institute as extension clothing specialist. She arrived Auburn and has started her field work in the state after a conference with Miss Helen Johnson, -state leader of home demonstration work, Director L. N. Duncan, and other members of the staff. She is state leader in clothing, working in cooperation with the county home demonstration agents. For seven years Miss Pickens was home agent in Gaston County, North Carolina, and two years in Johnston County. In Gaston County she made clothing work in the industrial com- (Continued on {Sage 6) Teams Invited From the great number of teams submitting their records for the past season, Coach Hutsell selected those sixteen that possessed the most representative records.

The prize, which was ten dollars in cash, was awarded to the Websterian Literary Society who was adjudged by the judges as having presented the best all-round stunt. Their stunt portrayed "The 1950 Date" and set forth some of the changes that are possible in twenty-two more years in the social life of our young people. The Wilsonian Literary Society, the Evans Literary Society, A. S. C. E., Boy's Dormitory, S. A. M. E., Wirt Literary Society, A. I. E. E., Chemical Society, and the Ag Club were also represented with stunts, and though the stunts were brought to a hurried close, due to the basket ball game, they were thoroughly enjoyed by everyone. Music was furnished during intermissions by the band, and the Mandolin Club, gave some splendid musical selections while the judges met and decided upon the winer. The judges were Mrs. S. L. Toomer, Dr. Fred Allison, and Rev. S. B. Hay. Mr. T. H. Pearce, president of the local Y. M. C. A., presided over the meeting. finalists in the Nationals last year.

Circulation Dept. Circulation Dept. March the third may be looked forward to with much interest by the people of Auburn for Will Rogers is ar personality that stands out preeminently. It is well worth ones time and money to hear him. It is said that he is the greatest humorist since Mark Twain. Even the grim visage of Mr. Cooldige was changed on the occasion when the President was introduced to the "Unofficial Embassador" The latter extended his hand and asked "What was the name?" As seats are selling fast students are urged to purchase tickets now. Mr. Rogers has probably never appeared in a town as small as Auburn and probably never before has the public been afforded the opportunity to hear him at such reasonable prices. The Kiwanis Club is to be congratulated on their good work in securing such a prominent speaker. This year marks the beginning of an annual award offered by the Blue Key Honor Society to recognize the man who has rendered the most conspicuous service to the college. The individual is to be selected by a committee of faculty members who best know the student body. An effort was made to select only those faculty men who were closely connected and associated with the majority of students and at the same time have a fair representation from most of the departments of the college. It is hoped that the Blue Key Trophy will fill a long felt need for the recognition of such an outstanding individual and furthermore, that it may be a Holy Grail toward which each Auburn man might strive as the greatest material honor which might be bestowed on any student during his college days. Auburn has a good basketball team which, needless to say, is backed wholeheartedly by a loyal student body. All too frequently does the average follower of the game have the wrong attitude toward the college and athletics. There are other colleges with just as strong teams and with ideals and spirit just as noble as can be found in the Village of the Plains. We moderns have some of the Roman ideas about bloody conflict. We too often forget that the main object in athletics is not to win but to develop. There is not much lost if we lose one game nor is the honor of the college at stake, to any high degree, in athletic contests. We love our college and the teams that represent her but when a referee is given the 'razzberry' because he did not see all that took place there should be no vocal expression of distention or disapproval from the spectators. Especially is this true when the onlookers know but little of the fine points of the game. Lieutenant Roosma, who has refereed the last two games knows basketball. He played in one hundred and fifty nine straight games in a New Jersey city and later was the star of the team at West Point where he graduated two years ago. He stays in training the entire year. The athletic authorities here report that the refereeing of the last two games was the most satisfactory that has been done this year. There should be no grounds for criticism of a man who knows the game from all angles. The discordant note that was heard from the spectators at the last game indicates that there was a spirit of jealouy prevalent which asserted itself when the successful outcome of the local quintet was in jeo-pardy. This is an example^nf hanging our unwashed clothes in the front yard. Such an unethical breach should be closed before the honor of the college is encroached upon too far. COLLEGE FAILURES Among the leading institutions, whose purpose it is to investigate and study the modern college student and his life while in college, there has been extensive discussion in regard to the reasons for the failure of the student to pass the necessary amount of work to remain in school. The ordinary modern belief almost immediately presents itself to those unacquainted with college and college life—that the modern college student passes the time idly, with wild parties, athletics and various outside activities. Such a condition rarely exists. College failures can therefore be seldom attributed to the false opinions thus suggested. The obstacle of financial limitation offers a second alternative. If attending college necessitates a student's efforts in long hours of outside work he may.be deprived of the proper amount of study to pass his work. Closer investigation, however, indicate that the inability of college students to pass their work, after entering a college that does not require entrance examinations, is not the result of outside diversions from college work. It is instead, the result of lax training in high school, county high schools in most cases. The snare for the freshman at Auburn is usually the course given in English or that in Mathematics. They meet the class and become suddenly involved in a subject which seems difficult not-withstanding the fact that it is merely a high school subject presented on a slightly different basis. Either failure or discouragement is the outcome and then finally resignation. By observing some of the students who find themselves in this position we find that they are not really mentally deficient, for they appear well-informed upon other subjects and especially upon those pertaining to the course they have selected. Consider the anxiety from which the young college student as well as his guar-dian. might be relieved if high schools would give a more efficient course and help build a solid foundation in the basic studies for college life. Auburn Footprints Auburn is going strong these days on civic clubs and honorary fraternities. Everybody is doing it—even the old folks. So before many more moons have passed, a course will undoubtedly be given in the behalf of those who crave efficiency in attendance at club and fraternity meetings: By the way, we have them, but what are they doing? O. T. (Doorwrecker) Allen has taken a sudden liking for a certain co-ed. We are not calling any names to be sure, but Door-wrecker can often be heard talking in his sleep. He mumbles thusly: "As the Sun governs the day, so the Moon rules the night." We can't say at present what these strange nocturnal mumblings mean, but data is being collected and we hope to soon be able to throw some light on this really delicate situation. "Sleuth-hound" Meyer has been engaged by the friends o? Mr. Allen to clear up this mystery, vrrl thereby prevent Doorwrecker from doing something foolishly. "Shorty" Culpepper tried to Ho a Lon Chaney stunt last Friday night, but he apparently lacked a bit of practice. However, we believe that with a little more concentration on the subject at hand both he and Gowder will be fooling people. It seems that our friend Max Kahn tried to be the Big Bertha of the A. I. E. E. stunt as he certainly tried to monopolize the whole show with his loud speaker. We always have thought that -Hugh Kinzer had a sort of flapperish look, and he demonstrated fully that he possesses such when he made the fatal mistake of trying to teach a crowd of evil-minded Civil students. Not only but 'she' proved a little later on that he has lost all 'her' virtue. "Goofy" Nuchols has been hiding for a long time, but came back with a bang when he trotted on the stage in front of Fire Chief's old shotgun. That must be the way of doing things down in his section of the country. First Soph: "Tom fell out of his car the other day and twisted his peninsula." Second Soph: "His what?" First Soph: "Peninsula, a long neck stretching out to sea." H BOOK REVIEW « THE LOCOMOTIVE GOD William Ellery Leonard When one who considers himself to be as nearly normal as any of us are today attempts to criticise and pass judgment upon one who admits that he is far from being normal and when, that criticism and judgment is to be based upon the autobiography of the abnormal one, then, it seems to me, he lays himself open to at least two sources of error. In the first place, he may have interested himself in such cases to the extent that he may be too receptive to please. To such an one, the very word "abnormal" might serve to convince that the plaint of the sufferer was just, and that a heedless word had broken one more who had been rendered incapable-of meeting the complex problems of modern existence. In the second place, he may take the easy course, become cynical of all who claim to be abnormal, and satisfy himself (and any who may care to listen)'with the statement that these are the excuses of the weak. Somewhere in between must be the middle ground of truth we must seek in reading William Ellery Leonard's The Locomotive God. Before attempting to discuss the autobiography, let us first consider who the man is and what he has done. To the literary world, Mr. Leonard has long been well known. Looking in Who's Who we find that he was born in New Jersey, that he has aft- A. B. from Boston College, an A. M. from Harvard, and a Ph. D. from Columbia. We learn that he has studied and travelled abroad, his chief interest being philology.. He is an Associate Professor of English Literature at Wisconsin; a member of the Modern Language Association, the Wisconsin Academy of Letters, Arts, and Sciences, and the Wisconsin Archaeological Society. • He has translated Fragments of Empedocles, Suderman's Vale of Content, and made verse translations of Lucretius and Beowulf. Aside from these he has written monographs on "Bryant, and the Minor Poets" (a chapter in the Cambridge History of American Lierature), "Beowulf and the Niberlungen Couplet," and "The Scansion of Middle English Alliterative Verse." But he is- known to most people as one of the best of the modern poets. Of his poetry, "The Lynching Bee" and Two Lives are the best known. On the face of it, this is not the record of one who would write in defense of weakness, and that he does so makes us more sympathetic and likely to believe, and makes us realize that throughout the centuries man has been too intolerant of all who have not fitted into the mold of the community, be that mold ever so commonplace. The Locomotive God belongs to the literature of psychology. It is the author's attempt to analyze strange phobias which have seized upon his mind to such an extent as to make him virtually a prisoner in his own home. These phobias made even the task of moving from one apartment to another in the same town an Herculean struggle. Personal property had to be moved piece by piece, so that there would be enough in each place to give the semblance of home. Friends in automobiles lined the way during the journey to make him feel at ease, and that he was "safe." At times he has found it impossible to go more than a hundred feet from his house, and he had to hire a substitute to do his work. At onetime he was fond of the water, of rowing and swimming. Since his phobias have come to him, he has found it impossible to row more than fifty feet from the shore, or to swim to a raft. Since he has been troubled by his fears, Mr. Leonard has done all that he can to learn the_cause of his weakness, and to correct it. That was partially his purpose in writing this autobiography. He has placed on paper everything which seemed even remotely connected with his fears to study the rise and power of those fears over his mind. To do this, he uses the methods of the psycho-analyst, methods he learned studying the case of his wife; who was afflicted with hereditary insanity. He de-^ pends for much of his material on what he can recall of scenes and incidents of his life. To recall these more clearly and completely, he clears his mind of all the problems and troubles of the present, and thinks of some one incident he remembers with some accuracy. As he thinks of the one, other pictures comes to his mind, and he is able to piece together bitlby bit connected and accurate scenes of his life. The first scene in his recollection was on a railway platform, when he was two and one^half years of age. He was some ^distance from his mother and parading proudly before the eyes of one of his playmates as a brave little man, when the train came rushing down the track. As it came nearer, the rush and roar paralyzed him with fear; he was unable to move, to run. With the smoke pouring from its funnel, the drive-shaft reaching out to shovel souls into the furnace, it seemed to him a demon of Uproar from which there was no escape. The whistle blew, and the smoke seemed to frame a fiendish face" yelling at him in a frenzy of rage. Finally, the spell broke and .he was able to run to his mother. In time he forgot this experience, remembering it years later nfter another, more terrible experience. A few years later he ran for his life from a group of schoolmates about to mob him. He tried to beat a train to a crossing, and the fright caused him to faint. Other frights followed over a period of years, culminating in the greatest of all when the people of Madison tried to mob him, accusing him of the murder of his wife. It was after this last fright that he recognized the memory of the first and the face hr the smoke of the train—The Locomotive God. From that time his fears have come upon him, making it impossible for him to travel far from home. Those who wish to see him must go there. That the trip is worth While, we know from the testimony of such men as Vachel Lindsay, Carl Sandburg, and the others who have made it, finding him in his home a pleasant companion, quite normal. Possibly his rigid classical education and his dependence upon books for companionship have unfitted him for life in the raw. After reading his acount of his experiences, we feel that the man is fundamentally honest, and that he is considering his case as impersonally as a scientist might, but we also feel with him that he not yet got to the real cause of his trouble. What that further cause may be, we can have no means of knowing; we Can but sympathize with him in his effort to discover it. As we read we feel the fine sensitive nature of the man. Even though we doubt whether his temperament will ever allow him to be happy, we are made to feel that he is bear-inb more than his share of suffering. Whatever one's final judgment may be, the book is eminently worth while as a study in the delicacy of balance in the human mind. It opens up a new world of experience to one who reads and sympathizes. m WITH THE GREEK % TOO MANY ACTIVITIES Editor Frank Scott of the Palm of Alpha Tau Omega believes, and quite rightly so, that fraternity chapters overemphasize the value of so-called campus activities and trie need for new men's participation therein. He writes: "Many thousand of freshmen pledges have begun the new life of students. The first few weeks will do more to set the patterns of their good career as students than will any other period of equal or longer time. Although a good begining may not be followed up, the chances are that the students who gets off to a good start will keep going in the same way, whereas the fellow who gets a bad start seldom overcomes the handicap. Yet many students, especially those pledged to fraternities, are handicapped at the beginning by the deliberate and systematic efforts of fraternities to get all the freshmen into activities. That absurd slogan: A man in every 'activity' and every man in an 'activity' can be heard nowadays in thousands of chapter houses, no doubt. And it will be put into effect in far too many cases. Then before long the upper-classmen will sit in solemn conclave to devise ways to keep the freshmen from flunking out and disgracing the chapter. "Some undergraduates are aware of the situation, as the editorial reprinted below from the Daiy Illini of the University of Illinois seems to show. When upperclassmen in fraternities generally see this truth and act on it there will be less need of help for the wobbly freshmen. " 'At the beginning of his collegiate career the freshman starts out with real faith in his college. Here is a new world, a new and very fascinating situation, a vastly more intelligent world in which he is to grow, to broaden, to learn the thoughts and ideas of the great men of all time. But, soon he adopts the ideas that are so prevalent among his classmates. He assumes the usual college boy's attitude, he becomes sophisticated, he plunges into campus activities, and very quickly there are so many things to occupy his mind that he becomes too busy to think. Very quickly he has forgotten his early ideals and intentions. " 'It is because the fraternity usually shoves its freshmen along this path (which we can't say is the right one) that the training and management of freshmen by fraternities is called a waste of time. A fraternity can't devise a system that is going to fit all situations and persons, and so, after all, the success or disgrace of a freshman depends mostly upon himself. Fair Lady: "Is there no succor?" Brave Knight: "Yes, I'm coming." Slang is used by all, but the following phone conversation was of an unusual tone: "Hello, droopy! Are you going to get your hoot-nanny out? If you are trickle by?" S MEDITATIONS ON THIS AND THAT IBy lupiter <]. Tluvius In my meanderings during the past week I have heard four definitions of Art. One may says, "Art is expression of the obvious." Another defines it as "Expression of essential characteristics." Art is "expresion of feeling," according to a third. The fourth definition is, "Art is expression of ultimate reality." Three of these definitions were given by underclassmen. Such an interest in things more lofty than the source of the next meal is to be commended, is even a cause for rejoicing. Has anyone else a definition of Art? A collection of definitions of Art might conceivably lead to something worthwhile._ A feble venture into speculation would not be a waste of time for anyone, would benefit most of us, and might reveal some latent Platonic intellect in our midst." I wonder? * * * "Bull sessions." Ruth Elder and Charles Lindbergh were the subjects of discussion in a recent session. One faction firmly believed that Lindbergh's chaste life as a youth was directly responsible for the perfect functioning of his motor, thus making possible his successful trans-Atlantic flight, and that the flaw in Miss Elder's oil line was due to an experience that she had had with a rustic Elmer Gantry over in Georgia. The opposition claimed that such reasoning was founded on superstition and was absurd. The final conclusion was that we should all be good little boys and our oil lines would never fail. More power to "bull sessions!" * * * A recent poll of the students at Louisiana State University indicates that they regard their honor system as impracticable. . Tossing honor systems overboard is becoming a favorite recreation among colleges, especially in the South. I have an idea that a comparison of the average intelligence levels of various student bodies with the relative successes of their honor systems would reveal an interesting relation. But what would cause that? I may be all wrong, but it seems to me that the honor system failures, through the lower intelligence averages, can be traced back to the typically-maniacal modern craze for college education. Every youth in the land, irrespective of his intelligence, apitude for learning, desire for learning, or need for learning is urged to go to college, is provided with loans that he may go to college, is even looked down upon socially if he does not go to college. Colleges have, as a result, kept pace in growth with the radio and automobile factories. The doors are thrown open; the chaff is brought in with the wheat; the average of intelligence goes down. Hand in hand with mentality goes the sense of moral responsibility. Isn't it logical? The diploma, a mere certificate of accomplishment, becomes more valuable than the accomplishment itself. Therefore, the obvious absurdity of the honor system, which presupposes that students want-education and not falsely acquired diplomas. But again, I may be wrong. Blind Tiger "Are you a college girl?" • "No, I'm smoking for my health." Don't get fresh or I'll chase you home." "I have no home." "Watch our, or I'll dig you one." x "Thank you for the hug and kiss." "The same to you—the pressure was all mine." A little girl of five was entertaining the callers while her mother was getting ready. One of the ladies remarked to the other with a significant look, "Not very p-r-e-t-t-y," spelling the last word." "No," said the child quickly, "but awfully s-m-a-r-t." The average American believes that: To go to college one must wear balloon pants. The college widow is the dean of women. College professors are all absent minded. Studious boys always wear glasses and use big words. The campus belle is the dean's daughter. Co-eds have dates every night and three time on Sunday.

Unable to locate the new president and carry her off as planned, the sophomores stood aside and listened gleefully to the rumpus which ensued, as the freshmen, thinking they were being attacked by the upperclassmen, fought among themselves in the dark.

That WAPI RECEIVES MANY LETTERS COMMENDING DANCE MUSIC By Harry Wise Radio Station WAPI, Alabama Polytechnic Institute, Auburn, Alabama, U. S. A., is found upon the address side of a "Canada Post Card" which bears the post office stomp of Toronto, Canada and is dated 9:30 p. m. Jan. 28, 1928. This is but one of the several hundred letters and cards which have been received from radio fans who "tuned in on" the Dance Program as broadcast by the local radio station. Then from far away Orofino, Idaho, comes a nice long letter from Dr. J. I. McKelway, superintendent of the Northern Idaho Sanitarium as folows: Orofino, Idaho, January 27, 1928 Radio Station WAPI, MAY & GREEN Men's Clothing Sporting Goods Montgomery, Alabama Alabama Polytechnic Institute, Auburn, Alabama. Gentlemen: Last evening I tuned in your station at 10:30 p. m. (Pacific Standard Time) and learned that I was listening to, and almost a part of, the Junior Prom—the first of a three night series. The Prom was being held in the Alumni Gym; the orchestra was under the leadership of Ross Gorman (?) and among the numbers recognized were "The Doll Dance" and "When Day is Done." The enthusiasm was marked, the applause, the laughter and conversation could be heard, together with an occasional "whoopee" from some happy male. In fact I almost felt as "among those present." Thanking you for a pleasant half hour and asking you to kindly confirm this reception to me, I am Very truly yours, (D.) John Irvine McKelway, Medical Superintendent Almost every state is represented with reports of reception of the high-class music Ross Gorman entertained us with, I. A.

AUBURN FURNITURE CO. Ice Cream IS A REAL HEALTH FOOD Have You Had Yours Today? AT THE TIGER DRUG STORE AND STUDENT SUPPLY SHOP program being broadcast was the Junior Dance at A. P. I. Ross Gorman and his Victor Recording Orchestra furnished the music." Avery frank letter comes from J. A. Rooker, New Bethlehem, Pa.: "On the evening of Jan. 28, I heard two selections entitled, "When You Get Old" and Blue Heaven"—I also heard the announced destribe the color scheme of the hall which was carried out in Black and White." "Where Can I Go" and "When You Get Old" were heard by Louis Frank in Chicago on Friday night. One Mr. R. H\ Summers of Pleasant Ridge, Michigan makes some comment on the Dances:—"I heard your station broadcasting an orchestra selection "Some of These Days." Just before this number the announced was explaining how 500 boys danced with 150 girls-(poor girls)" We might tell Mr. Summers that those girls were."having the time of their life." Some of the radio fans get real friendly with Mr. Young and call (address) him as "Bill" just as we boys here on the campus would. One card from Patterson, N. J. reads: "Attention Mr. Wm. Young—Announcer —Reception very clear and distinct," and was signed James A. Wilson. Stanley Davis, Highland Park, Michigan, states: "I especially enjoyed the announcer's voice and his droll humor. If all you folks down there are as nice as his voice sounds it must be a pretty fine state"—Beauquettes for all of us. Many ways are used to identify and verify reception—Edward Haas, of Ridgewood, Long Island, N. Y. did it this way—"But heard you announce, as you were signing off, tomorrow's program. Then you corrected yourself and said you meant today at 12:00 o'clock noon, you would broadcast a news program. You signed off at 1:13 a. m." Many Alabamians, friends of Auburn are scatter throughout the U. S. and enjoy the WAPI programs. One card came from Columbus, Ohio, from people who once lived in Birmingham. But Ed Shirling who is coaching at L. P. I., Rushton, La., and J. P. Atherton of Quannah, Texas used the wire to let "Bill" know they were enjoying the Junior Prom music by Ross Gorman. So far as can be ascertained Auburn is the only college in the South to broadcast their dance programs and only one other in the U. S. does. Any thing that is the least bit novel is used as means of identification. James C. Calvan of Pitts-field, Mass., goes about it this way— "announcements regarding s c o l or scheme of the Hall—colors Black and White—Coach Bohler is mentioned-^ 6 feet—200 pounds—then intermission until 12:45 a. m., singing off for 45 minutes.' Another card brings, "I have heard your fine broadcastings and like them all. Your station comes in like a local on the speaker. Success to Coach Bohler and Alabama Poly." Paul B. Lovegren (?) Chicago, 111. Probably next to the Dance program the. announcements of the basketball games have attracted widest attention. These programs have been received all over the North and East. One of the best letters from the basketball fandom comes from an enthusiast in Palmyra, N. Y. The letter follows: Palmyra, N. Y. Feb. 7, -928 Station WAPL Auburn, Alabama. Gentlemen: About a week ago I was very de/ lighted to tune in and hear your announcer broadcasting a basket-ball game between Auburn Polytechnic Institute and Vanderbilt, I believe the last named place was called. I am extremely fond of the game and tfflve never heard one broadcast before. In fact I though the game was too fast to allow a connected description of it. However, reception was very clear and I could almost see the three James boys, Ellis, Aiken, and so on. I'm hoping to hear another game from Auburn in the near future. They have a fast team, a good band, and lively yells. And they are leading the United States in scoring, according to the report. Congratulations from the NORTH to the SOUTH. Sincerely, Miss Lillian Orlopp. Mr. J. C. Lowery, State boys club agent, Auburn, was riding the Pan- American north of Birmingham Friday night when we were playing Ole Miss. He tuned in on the basketball game while the train was traveling 60 miles per hour, he says that the game sounded almost that fast. Coming closer home we find that Dr. J. H. Kite of Decatur, Ga. writes: "You were giving music by Victor Recording Orchatra. You said that you were sure that some alumni were listening in and 'we feel sure that if you are you are having a good time fellows.' (I have enjoyed your programs many times in the years past)" The dance programs were more widely received than the regular programs but they b*y no means receive all the comment. One card reads thus: 1-31-28 Dear WAPI, At 10:55 p.m. E. S. T., I certainly enjoyed the playing of the "Collegians" and sorry that I cannot enjoy the fine show at Auburn. I am a 4-year shut-in and would feel honored by confirmation for my DX album. Yours for Success, George H. Trisdorfer, Sr. 126 Van Sicklen St. Brooklyn, N. Y. •Probably the best and friendliest letter of the bunch to Mr. Young and the radio station is one from Mr. C. Kirkpatrick, The Duke of Cahaba, Orrville, Alabama, who is a member of the State Board of Agriculture, and State Legislator from Dallas County. It reads— Orrville, Alabama February 11, 1928 Mr. W. A. Young, Auburn, Alabama. Hello "Bill", This is to congratulate you on the fine programs you are sending out over WAPI. I tune in on radios in all parts of the U. S. every night, but I want to tell you that lately you have them all skinned a block. You are sending out something worth while, not only your entertainment features, but your agricultural and other programs are all constructive and make for better standards of living as well as to inspire in us higher ideals. That quartette of boys are "hum dingers," and some time when I am over there I want to meet them and shake their paws. Today when they were singing the "Church in the Wild-wood," my memory carried me back to days gone by and I could not help but contrast that kind of melody with the jazz stuff which comes over the radio every night. And that other song, "At the End of Day," I believe that was the name of it, tell them that my philosophy teaches me that we never come to "The End of a Day," because when the shadows begin to fall and darkness enshrouds out earthly existance just when we "Cross Over the River," the day has just begun in a more glorious environment than we ever knew if, perhaps, wc have used the few short hours on thi ~> side the "River" in making life for others more joyous and happy, as they are doing in contributing so much to brighten the hours of us country fol!"3 in sending their voices attuned to inspiring music over the air to the uttermost parts of the country. The other day when you had those old fashion fiddlers pulling the bow to the tune of the "Bully of the Town" you came very near making me lose my dinner. The Madam kept on ringing the dinner bell, and sent the cook in two or three times to tell me dinner was ready, that if I did not come on everything would be cold etc., but I sent her back word to "let her freeze," the boys • at Auburn have "Billy in the Low Ground" now and that I was going to stay here until they got out on the other side and "Raise Hell Among the Yearlings." But the boys did not play that inspiring piece. The ones you played, however, kept my feet shuffling around on the floor until I got stiff in the "jints." Boy, that was great; it carried me back to" the days when we had old time dances, and "Balance All", "Change Partners," etc. to the tunes of "Arkansas Traveler," "Big Fat' Gal in the Piney Woods," "Hell Broke Loose in Georgia" and "Sail Away Ladies." If you expect me to make any pecans this year you had better cut out that kind of tantalizing stuff at Auburn. I may stop off at Auburn Tuesday morning, to see you boys. Your, friend, C. Kirkpatrick.

Tigers Look Like Best Bet for 1928 Championship—North Carolina Favored as Close.Second TIGERS LEAD CONFERENCE VICTORIES Pairings for Tournament to be Announced on Sunday—Sixteen Teams Eligible By Max E. Kahn As the curtain is turned down on the 1928 Auburn basket-ball schedule on the* Campus after the last University of Florida game Wednesday nite, only the preliminaries will have passed, as far as, recognition of perfection is concerned. If that tournament is not won, by your team, you can't be the 1928 Champs. But, say, Auburn is headed towards that much longed for goal and only a superior, clean, hard fighting team is going to turn Mike Papke's quintet from that straight path. So far, only one team has done that which is not desired by Auburn, and that was 'ole Mississippi, playing over their heads and with the luck of a genius. The fact was proven in the second game; namely, Auburn was off the proceeding night and 'Ole Miss was playing superior ball to their regular brand. The invites to the tourney have been mailed to the 22 different Colleges and if over 16 of these blanks are returned, some will be returned. To date, it is not known just what teams will enter, but it is certain that the entire list of entrants as well as pairings for the tournament will be published in the papers Monday morning, if all goes off as scheduled. As usual, the tourney will last four days, starting Friday and ending the following Tuesday night. Pre-tourney dope places Mike Papke's "Dreadnaught Five" ahead of the field in games won, total points scored and individual scorers. But the North Carolina Tarheels, the team, with the tournament championship habit, will again place a strong bid on the table for the coveted trophy. So far, the Tarheels, coached by Jim Ashmore and boasting of seven veterans of previous tourney tilts, have succeeded in turning back 14 opponents out of a possible 15. Tulane turned the Carolinians back during the Christmas holidays with a single point victory. Included in the list of conference victims of the Tarheels are: Tulane 2, Virginia 2, North Carolina State, and Georgia. According to the sports writer picks, the list of favorites will be quite varied. Many are inclined to believe that the Tarheels will come through to make the count five out of a possible seven Championships, others see the Orange and Blue of Auburn, once more on the peak of glory, while other reports place Maryland, 'ole Miss, L. S. U., Miss A. & M., and Kentucky as the probable winners. The Plainsman is proud to say that there will be no champs unless it is the Varsity Five. Following the close of the ment will come the sports writer pick of the mythical All-Southern upon which Auburn should be well represented. Surely, Akin can shoot as good as any other in the conference, being he is high point man, Buck Ellis will be a dazzling sight if he covers the floor in Atlanta as he has in the past, the James twins ought to go over strong as the best defensive pair in the race and Frank DuBose will easily give the opposing centers much trouble. A very neat All-Southern would be Akin and Ellis forwards, DuBose, center, E. James and F. James guards. Fellows, lets all follow the team to the tourney, if possible and be on hand to cheer them.on in the very best of Auburn spirit. With our support they will come through and surely they deserve our very best. Get together and meet in the Atlanta gym, yelling like Hell for the best basketball team in the Staes. Letter whoop Tigers! ~~ Varsity Takes On U. of Fla. 'Gators Here On Saturday Dates Changed for Second Florida Game to This Week-End Due to Opening of S.I.C. Tourney By Max E. Kahn Cotton-States teams will be given the unexpected privilege of viewing the best basketball team in the South Saturday night—in action. This was made possible due to the change in the schedule of the two University of Florida games. As the S. I. C. tourney is to open on Friday of next week and Auburn was dated to play the Gators on the preceeding Thursday, both teams were anxious to change the date for the second fray; hence this tilt wil come off this Saturday night. The time for the game will be announced later. University of Arkansas's Razor-backs made an announcement in Wednesdays paper that they were now leading the Country at large in points scored, with a grand total of 750 and with the center man high individual scorer. Well, it doesn't hurt them to think that they possess this honor but upon glacing at Auburn's record for the same number of games, incidentally sixteen, they will immediately see that they are all wrong. At the present time Auburn has a grand total of 774 points and is still going strong. It is possible even possible to close the season with a grand total of 900 points for the eighteen games but the boys will be forced to score at least 63 points in each of the Gator tilts. Why not? They've done it before and are surely at their best right now. Let's pack the Gym to capacity or as it has never been pacekd before and root for the Orange and Blue boys from Auburn. Surely, this is one game that the Orange and Blue lads are bound to win as both of the teams boast of these colors. O. K.

Auburn Auburn Plainsman Quintet Drop First Game to'Ole Miss Friday Tigeri Suffer First Defeat at Hands of Mississippians Losing by One Point in Last Two Minutes By C. T. Ingersoll Last Friday night the Tiger bas-keteers met defeat for the first time during the season of 1928. The score was 43 to 42, and it was due to the uncanny shooting of Phillips, who shot goal after goal, and at such intervals as made their score rise very rapidly in final three minutes of play. Auburn had a four point lead two minutes before the game "ended, but the wizard shooting of Phillips came at such a time as to put his team one point ahead of the local lads, for the final result. In the first half the Tigers were •outplayed to some extent, mainly in the scoring end, but in the second belonged to Auburn when they came back and had several points lead during the greatest part of this half. The score was tied several times, once being 30 all and again 36 all. It was also tied in the earlier part of the game. The score at the half was 30 to 34, with 'Ole Miss on the larger end. We have no trouble in picking the visiting ace, Cary Phillips was without a doubt "it" for he was high point man of the evening, having made 16 points. Although very small of statute, he was not hindered in his goal shooting, but stayed a*U over the floor, shooting goals almost at* will. His speed was another quality that benefitted him greatly in his work during the game. "Buck" Ellis came next in shooting, his total count being 13. "Buck" played a wonderful game, and gave Coach Homer Hazel's boys plenty of worry in trying to guard him. Ellis had a particular habit of snatching the ball away from 'Ole Miss, when they would start down the floor. ^DuBose also turned in one of his usual good games and made 11 points (Continued on Page 6.) Auburn Evens It Up With'Ole Miss Copping Seam dPapk Tigers Easily Whip Visitors in Last Game of Series By C. T. Ingersoll Revenge is sweet, and so it was when the Tigers, turned the tables and beat the Mississippi dribblers Saturday night in the A. P. I. gym. The Plainsmen staged a beautiful comeback after losing the game the night before, and it showed that the boys can not be beaten by any team when they are "right." This game was Auburn's from start to finish, even though Ole Miss played a fast game, and were very accurate in their shooting. They had a snappy little team, but the Tigers beat them 53 to 38. Auburn took the lead and held it from beginning to end, and the Mississippi team did not threaten to over, come this lead a single time. The Auburn boys were running true to form, and by this form, we mean the kind of playing that is going to deal somebody fits when the Southern Conference Tournament begins. When Auburn can get their team-work down like they did on this occasion, the best team in the conference won't' have a chance, for the Tigers just can't be downed. The score at the half was 30 to 13, and the Papkemen kept around a 17 point lead during almost all of the second half. At one time A. P. I. reached a 22 point lead, with the score 43 to 21. Auburn rang up five points at the beginning of the game before the University of Mississippi could chalk up a goal. In the^irst game, "Jelly" Akin was watched very closely, and did not get many chances to break loose and make his usual high score. He was well guarded in the first half of this game, but in the second half he opened up and the Tiger's count began to soar. He lead the attack by making 20 points. Frank DuBose and "Buck" Ellis played an aggressive floor game, and (Continued on page 6) BUNK • " $ • BUNK AROUND THE CAMPUS BUNK « . BUNK By Max E. Kahn COTTON STATES TOURNAMENT FAVORITES In the past few years very few favorites have come through successfully in the annual Auburn tournament. But it is always someones inclination to pick a winner. No harm is done and if you happen to hit the nail on the head, as the old saying goes, you have much to boast of. So —here goes! First, the more probable winners should be Vienna, last years champs; Athens High, Athens, Georgia, with about the best record; Tech High, with a fine record listing a split bill with the Vienna quintet; Central High, Knoxville, Tennessee, should go very good, if they decide to enter, Eads High, Tennessee, running under the same condition, and possibly Millport, Alabama who has a fine record during the regular season. But surely that is a hard list to pick from. A coin, a flip and Vienna should repeat! Yes, a chance shot, but who can tell. Surely, they looked good last year and only one man lost, All American Prep School forward, but a neat rookies has fitted wonderfully in the vacancy left by Mr. Campbell. O. K. Vienna, we're for you, help us make a 100 per cent, choice. The above is not supposed to discourage any of the entrants, it is written in the best of respect to other teams ability and we want to wish each team the very best of luck in the entire tournament. We are for the tournament 100 per cent, and desire that you get the true idea of Auburn, as it is and not dressed for a show. Let every Auburn student •cheer on his favorite whether he's from the town represented by the team, knows a girl there or just doesn't know any better. But again, let the best team win! Yea Tigers! PEGGY FLOURNOY TO COACH TULANE BASEBALLERS Ail-American Flournoy of 1925 football fame' has been named by Coach Benny Bierman of Tulane to teach the Greenies the trade of baseball for the coming season. Peggs, as he is known, starred on Tulanes baseball and football squads and made quite a reputation for himself in both sports. He has already issued, the initial call for all. aspirants for diamond work and is hopeful of placing a winning team on the field. So far, his prospects appear quite bright, with practically all of last years nine left intact and three veteran pitchers on hand. Listed among the engagements for the Greenies this season are a pair of battles between the Tulane tossers and the Auburn Tigers on the Village campus. CONCERNING F. JAMES AND BEN SANKEY In a recent issue of the Plainsman, a list of the veteran stars that will be seen on the Auburn diamond squad this season, an error of much importance was made. Two of the best players names were omitted by means of a slip in the write-up. These names are none other than the veteran first-sacker, Fob James and shortstop, Ben Sankey. Both of these players have seen much service and will be here for their last year. Ben has missed hardly a game during the last two seasons and has come through each year with a highty strong batting average as well as excellent fielding average. Fob, on the other hand, has not yet finished a season. During his first year on the field, he joined the movies at about the mid-season point and last year he had the hard luck to break his ankle. However, it (Continued on Page 6.) Georgetown Takes A Drubbing From e's Dribblers Fighting a Strong S.I.A.A. Quintet To the Last Whistle, Auburn Tigers Annex Another By Max E. Kahn Coming down upon the "Fairest Village of the Plains" with the largest squad of players to be seen this season, Georgetown, strong S. I. A. A. contender was severely set back by the "Dreadnaught Five". A superb game was on the schedule and at the start, the Kentuckians were quite successful in keeping the score down. But the Tigers were quite determined and before the final whistle blew "they had, won their fourteenth victory of the season, had raised their season total up to 680 points with an average of 48.6 points per setto and Jelly Akin boosted his total to 220 points which incidentally, kept him high scorer in National Collegiate circles. Auburn got off to a flying start, scoring nine points before the S. I. A. A. lads could find themselves. Akin was the big man in the first part of the show with DuBose and the James helping quite a bit. Ellis just could not get his scoring eye working and had to be satisfied with a single field goal for the tilt. But, where Buck fell down on shooting, he made up for it in playing the floor in general. Everywhere at the same time is a hard deed to accomplish but Ellis sure scarred the impossible. The Kentuckians were in the game for all they had, but they represented another case of—outclassed. The entire team was made up of new players except Captain Hawkins, who performed very well at center. Allen and Hawkins led the visitors scoring column with Offut and Boswell aiding not a little bit. On the defense, (Continued on Page 6.) Chances Retaining Title in Baseball Very Bright Coach Moulton Completes Strong Schedule and Appears Optimistic Over Tiger Prospects FOURTEEN GAMES PLAYED ON CAMPUS Total of Twenty-Four Conference Games Are Arranged on Schedule By Max E. Kahn There are several means of judging Auburn's chances for retaining the S. I. C. baseball championship and all seem right favorably. Some say "a baseball team is no stronger than her pitching staff." Others "no team is any stronger than her reserves." And it appears also that "no team is stronger than her best players." Such is the lay of the land and in the words of Coach Moulton "Auburn has no pre-season alibis to offer." That statements seems to cover lots of ground and is a good answer to the three means of judging the team. Auburn will have the hardest road to travel of any Southern team this year. A total of thirty games have been scheduled and all are with the most representative colleges and clubs in this section of the country. March 23-24 has been set as the dates of the two opening tilts and will be a big asset as they will offer Coach Slick a' chance to -look his rookies over while in action. "A" Day, March 26 Annual homecoming or "A" day has been set for March 26 and the Montgomery Lions of the South Eastern League will appear on the Campus in the form of the opposition, This is the third annual holding of this event and should be the best, as many of Auburn's alumni in this section of the country will return to look ovtr the "28" prospects. April 9 Due to be Big Week Starting with April 9, the diamond artist will have a rather hot time as there are games scheduled for every evening that week. Monday and Tuesday will see the strong Georgia nine at work and the following two days will bring the Florida Gators here, who boast of another strong pitching staff. Florida was the only team to beat the Auburnites in a series last year and the Tigers are out for' revenge. Friday and Saturday will find the Ft. Benning squad in the "Fairest Village" for a return series of frays. Stiff Road Trip During May The first week of May will find Coach Moulton and his aspirants on the road enroute to take on Clemson, University of South Carolina and Georgia all at their home ports. Following this trip they will return to take on the Gamecocks from South Carolina in a return series and May 18, 19, will find them up in Nashville doing battle with the Vanderbilt Commodores who ended the season last year by giving our lads a trouncing, 4 to 3. The complete schedule is as follows : March 23-25, Ft. Benning at Ft. Benning, Ga. March 26, "A" Day—Montgomery Lions at Auburn. March 28, Selma "Cloverleafs" at Selma, Ala. March 30, Tulane at Auburn. (Continued on Page 6.) A fountain of youth for industry . . . .

Notes of the Societies WILSONIAN 'Sunday being Lincoln's birthday, the major part of the ^Tuesday night program was devoted to discussions of some of the characteristics of this much loved man. Not forgetting the Valentine spirit, Miss Katherine Porter played on the banjo and sang a few popular and appropriate selections. We mentally picture Lincoln as a great shabby railsplitter with a sad attitude toward life. R. G. High-tower gave some very convincing evidence that many of the popular beliefs about Lincoln are false. Discussing Lincoln as a politician, T. B. Shell emphasized that he strongly advocated the union and that he stood by his convictions. He was a self made man who sympathized with the common people. He believed that everybody should have a voice.in the government and perhaps SERVICE ENGRAVING Co \ IC&t&lo£ue »r»d NewspivperCuts "* Mtvdein an | Up-to-date Plaatt d.M.ENGLER FOURTH FLOOR ADVERTISER BLDG planted the germ of woman suffrage. We do not think of Lincoln as a humorous man. Sam Mosely told us that this was also a fallacy, and to prove it read several anecdotes from his autobiography. Naturally a program of this kind would not be complete without some reference to negro life in the South during the Civil War period. Miss Carrie Hester entertained the society with the reading, "Ole Stracted," a very emotional negro dialogue from the book "Old Virginia." EVANS The Auburn freshmen think they have a terrible time when upper classmen perform their sacred duty toward them, but Rhodes scholarship men find a situation far more trying and bewildering when they reach Oxford, acording to a statement made by Hugh Bennett at the Evans literary society Tuesday night. Mr» Bennett discussed at length the many problems the Ame/ican college and university graduate faces in an entirely new environment at Oxford. He pointed out some of the reasons for their poor showing in athletics ther. The scene shifted from Oxford to Texas as P. T. Wright told how dead bank robbers were worth $5000, while live ones were worth nothing. As association of Texas bankers, Mr. Wright explained, offered a $5000 reward for every bank robber brought BANK OF AUBURN We Highly Appreciate Your Banking Business J. W. WRIGHT, JR.

This reward was offered in an attempt to decrease the number of robberies and it was found to be rather effective. Mexico was the location chosen for subject of the next talk. T. M. Irby told the society some of the interesting facts about the construction of one of Mexico's new railways. This road was completed last year. Miss Izola Williams gave a very touching reading as the concluding number on the program. The reading was "Little Orphan Annie." It recalled the childhood days when goblins were as real as cookies. Business in the form of an announcement of the annual oratorical contest followed the program. Prof. Hutchins made the annunocement and explained the nature of the contest for the benefit of new members. The critic also made a few remarks about this contest along with his criticism of the program. A. I. E. E. The A. I. E. E. held its first meeting of the second semester Thursday evening, February 2, in Ramsay Hall. Officers elected for the second semester at this meeting took over their respective offices. The society was called to order by the chairman. Announcements were made, and busines matters brought before the society- A committee was appointed by the chairman.to plan an act for the society to be presented on Stunt night. Members serving on this committee were as follows L. B. Hallman, chairman; J. C. Youngblood; J. J. O'Rourke; E. R Jones; G. M. Ross, and S. L. Hancock. An interesting and no less instructive program was rendered by Mr. Alexander and Mr. W. T. Edwards. Mr. Alexander gave as his subject "The Cottrell Precipitation Process in Industry." He has for several years past been connected with the*Southern Manganese Co. of Anniston, who employs this process for several industrial purposes. He pointed out its importance in industry and stated very frankly that he though it would make a profitable as well as interesting engineering field. Mr. Edwards, who was employed with the T. C. I. the past summer, gave a description of the moulding shop there, and how the moulding was done. No meeting was held the following week, the time being given over for practice of the act to be given by the society the following night at Stunt Night. PHARMACEUTICAL SOCIETY Another one of those interesting meetings of the Pharmaceutical Society was held in the Pharmacy Building last Monday night beginning at 6:45. After being called, to order by the president of the Society, Mr. Mc- Callum, business to be dispensed with was called for. Professor Hargreaves spent about ten minutes in telling us some things about the branch of the American Pharmaceutical Society which the local Pharmaceutical Society is planning to organize. He told us some of the benefits which we would derive from having such an organization on the campus. Then he told of some of the requirements the Society would have to meet in getting a branch established at Auburn, and asked the president and the members of the organization to think about the proposition until next meeting night and have some definite opinion in regard to the matter. All seemed highly elated over the prospect, and there is ever reason to believe that the Branch will be established. Following Professor Hargreaves' talk, Mr. Nickel made an interesting talk on "The Outlook of Pharmacy." He said the author of the article was very pessimistic in the beginning of his article about the outloook of Pharmacy, but that it was his method of getting the attention of the reader, and before Mr. Nickel finished his talk, all those present agreed with him that the Pharmacists have a brighter future' than ever before. This being due, to a great extent in the passing of more stringent laws raising the educational requirements for the practice of pharmacy, by the various states. The law is already in effect in Alabama that a person must have three years of college training in order to practice Pharmacy in the State. Next and also the last, and may we say the best feature of the program was the music furnished by "Doc Yac" Threadgill and his "Rat" which Mr. McCallum had promised at the last meeting would be the main feature of the meeting. "The Whole Town's Talking" at Langdon Hall, February 28. WEBSTERIAN The Websterian Literary Society enjoyed an . unusually entertaining program on Tuesday, February 14. To start things, off, there was a closely contested debate, with the subject, "Resolved: That a lawyer is justified in defending a criminal." Up-church and Brock argued the affirmative, and Burdeshaw and Williams the negative. The affirmative side was given the decision.*.Plenty of food for thought was furnished by the debate. Following the debate, Raines and Threadgill supplied some . entertainment with their guitars. The music was greatly enjoyed by the entire society. "* The Websterian is organizing a basketball team. Nothing definite can be announced, but other societies contemplating teams had better look to their laurels. A. S. C. E. The local Chapter of the American Society of Civil Engineers held its regular meeting .Monday Night, February 13. This was the second meeting in as many weeks. This being to get the meeting running on its regular schedule, the second and fourth- Mondays of each month. The first speaker was Mr. G. M. Coleman of the senior class. He gave a very interesting talk on the plans of building a bridge across the Hudson River in New York City and also of a tunnel under both the Hudson and East Rivers in Lower Manhattan. The cost of construction of the tunnel would be 100,000,000 dollars. These plans were fostered by the Penn. R. R. Co. The subject matter of Mr. Coleman's talk was gotten from ah old edition of the Engineering News- Record. Mr. A. C. Taylor of the sophomore class was the next speaker. He had as his text "Building in the U. S. during 1928." Mr. Taylor talked very optimistic about building construction during 1928 and, in spite of the fact'that a decrease of 10-12 per cent, in construction during the past year, gave several good reasons why the coming year would show an increase. Some of these reasons were, destruction of buildings by fire and people demanding better living conditions. Mr. Taylor said that the west especially around Detroit, would show a large increase. The third Civil to talk was Mr. Paul Beck of the junior class. He talked on the construction of concrete railroad beds on the Pere Marquette R. R. between Detroit and Grand Rapids. Mr. Beck showed several good diagrams of the road. In these diagrams he showed how the rail was attached to the concrete and how the bed was drained. He also said that the bed would give a metallic or music-like sound not like the ordinary bed as the trains speed over the track. Mr. Holley McBea also of the junior class was next. Mr. Bea talked on road repairing in California. A very interesting part of his talk was about the controlling of a wash on a hill side. This wash carried 86,000 gallons of water. He showed by diagram how the water was checked. This was done by excavating 116,000 cu. yds. of dirt. Gunite, a pet name for concrete when put on the road by using a gun was used in the construction of the road. The Southern Pacific R. R. with the aid of the State of California did the work. Mr. "Bohunk" Bates of the senior class was the last speaker. He spoke on the outlook iif the Aviation Field. Mr. Bates said that the world war helped commercialize airplanes. Because this brought about the need for faster planes. The speed was raised as high as 150 miles, per hour. He also told of the different types of motors used. The two types were the OX 5 and the Liberty motors. The field of expansion will be in the way of mail and passenger planes. And the needs to cause this expansion are, more Air Ports or fields for planes to land. The large crowd present showed that the membership committee had been at work. Profs. Callan, Baugh-man, Hulse and Bowers presence was missed. We wonder if we are going to have to appoint a committee to bring them out to the next meeting." The next meeting is to be held Monday night February 27 at the regular hour. We want to see all the Civils there.

Very sorry fellows to make this mistake. ROOSMA, ARMY STAR APPEARS ON CAMPUS AS PERFECT REFEREE Quite a change was noticed in the Tiger games upon the appearance of Roosma, four letter man at West Point, as referee in the past two tilts on the campus. Roosma was on the (championship Passaic, New Jersey high school team that won 159 games and later attened the Army training school at West Point. While at the academy, he made quite a record for himself, starring in football, basketball, baseball and soccer. He is now stationed at Camp Ben-ning and is a leader in the Forts bas-ketball circles this season, having an average of 34 points to his credit. As a referee, he is nearer perfect than any one Auburn has had so far, and ke knows the game ,and also knows he knows it, all of which makes the games faster, cleaner and harder. AUBURN EVENS IT UP WITH 'OLE MISS, COPPING SECOND MISS PICKENS IS STAFF ADDITION (Continued from page one) munities a leading project. Miss Pickens came to Auburn direct from Columia University, New York City, from which institution she has a B. S. degree and has completed half of the required work for a M. S. degree. She is also an alumnus of Weaver College in North Carolina. rt At Columbia University she specialized in clothing and home management. She was there 1 1-2 years before coming to Alabama. She took the different phases of clothing including construction, selection, and costume designing; her home management work included house beauti-fication and methods of teaching. (Continued from page 4) fought hard. The former made 11 points, while^the latter was not far behind, with 9. In the guard positions were the James' twins, who are easily/two of the scrappiests guards in the South. When a forward drops one past them, he can say that he has accomplished a great feat, for it is seldom done. They are fast and work to-gether in perfect harmony. They have piayed together so long that their actions are just like clockwork. "Moon" Mullin relieved "Ebb' James at guard, and .put up plenty of fight while he was in the f raoes. For Mississippi the Phillips' twins were the outstanding men. Cary Phillips made 17 points, while his brother, Ary, came next with 9. Both of these men were starts at shooting goals from mid-field. They were two of the surest shots who have appeared on the local court-this season. Line-up: Auburn (53)—Akin (20) F, Ellis (9) F, DuBose (11) C, E. James (3) G, F.

"Jelly" Akin did not play his usual brand of ball, in that he was not high point man. However he made 10 points. This is one of the first games this year in which he has not had the honor of obtaining the most points for the Papkemen. This just happen-dd to be his 'off" night, as we can see from the results of the second game with Ole Miss. "Jelly" is one of the high point men in the Southern Conference, and entire country. "Ebb" and "Fob" Jamas played their customary positions at guard, and looked better than ever. They both played an aggressive game. Ole Miss also had a set of twins playing for them. They were Cary and Ary Phillips, who also played well. Laird, 'Ole Miss played a great game at guard. There were no substitutes used during the whole game.

KRATZER'S (Continued from page 4) Georgetown was not quite alert enough to stem the fast working Tigers. The team work in this fray was not quite up to standard. Still, there is no kick coming. Auburn has a fine team and the worst part of it is that the students know it. They expect a forty or fifty point victory in every game, which is near to impossible for any college team. In the coming tourney, better teams will be met and if a mere one point victory is squeezed through, I am sure that all will be completely satisfied. A victory is a game won and .that is.all needed to make Auburn, Southern Champs. From now on, let's try to cut out the big head stuff and don't try to be conceited. Get behind the boys and fight with them, not using dirty methods such as razzing the other teams, bragging and the like. The summary of the scores for each team are: Georgetown (37)—Allen (7), Bos-well (4), Hawkins (7), Offut (6), Meyer (1), Rice, Clellan. Auburn (41)—Akin-(14), DuBose (12), E. James (6), F.

R. P. DAVIS TO REVIEW LOCAL R.0.T.C FEBRUARY 22 Washington's Birthday to Be Observed by Exercises Here TO MAKE ADDRESS 11 A. M. First Time in Recent Years Area Commander Has Visited Auburn Washington's birthday, February 22, will be fittingly celebrated this year by a military review and inspection of the Auburn R. O. T. C. unit by Major General Richmond P. Davis, commander of the fourth corps area. Major General Davis is on an inspection tour of this area and will come here from Fort Benning. Auburn is honored by his presence here for not only is this his first visit since assuming command but is also the first time in recent years that a commander of the area has visited the school, having heretofore sent members of his staff as~ representatives. This visit is no doubt due to the fact that for the last seven years Auburn has been rated as a distinguished college, an enviable record. The review and inspection are to be held at 10:30 a. m., followed by an address in Langdon Hall at 11:00 a. m. At 12:30 Major General Davis will be "entertained by Dr. Dowell at a luncheon and from 1:30 to 3:00 he will inspect the facilities and equipment of the R. O. T. C. unit here. At 3:00 P. M. he will depart for Montgomery where he will inspect Maxwell Field. Major Kennedy, commandant, urges that all students taking R. O. T. C. have their uniforms in first class condition on this day and for this reason it is not necessary to' wear them to classes during the week. Not only is it desirable to make a good impression on our visitors but Auburn has a splendid record which must be upheld and the student body should back Major Kennedy up in this effort. CONTEST RULES ARE ANNOUNCED Pamphlets Are Ready for Distribution to Contestants Rules and regulations governing the essay contest which is being sponsored by the Alabama Farm Bureau Federation and the Alabama Farm Bureau Cotton Association, have been announced, according to the Montgomery Advertiser of Feb. 8. Working with these two associations are county farm bureaus, and the extension service. The subject of the essay is to be the "Cooperative Marketing as it Affects the Cotton Farmer." This should be very 4nuch in keeping with the recent movement to help the cotton farmer. These rules and regulations have been compiled into pamphlet form and are now ready for distribution. The rules are, the entries, boys or girls, must be 21 years old, and with not more than a high school education. On April 27, at places announced in each county, the contestants will assemble to take the essay. The essay is to be (Continued on page six) SIGMA PHI BETA HAS DINNER PARTY Faculty Members Are Guests of Sorority Here Sigma Phi Beta soroity entertained last Saturday night with a five course dinner party. The spirit of St. Valentine was brought out in the decorations of the dining room, hall and living room by cupids and valentines. Those enjoying the affair were: Misses Louise Glanton, Helen Dum-mond, Mrs. Henry Good, Misses Eu-lane Hoffman, Dorothy Donavan and members and pledges of the sorority. BAND LEAVES ON FRIDAY TO PLAY AT MARDI GRAS Thirty Members To Go To Mobile for Six Days TO GIVE DAILY CONCERTS Boys Will Be Entertained in Homes of Mobile People The Auburn band will don their uniforms Friday and journey to Mobile to play for the Mardi Gras exercises. The band composed of some thirty members will leave here on the 9:07 Friday morning for Mobile to participate in the Mardi Gras programme. They will take an important part in all activities, giving a concert each morning and Sunday afternoon. They will also lead the parades and wear the full cape uniform. Mobile plans to entertain the band members royally, taking them into their homes and has invited them to all the dances and picture shows. Among the personnel of the band are a number of Mobile boys who are looking forward to returning home for the annual Mardi Gras festivities. The musicians will arrive back in Auburn on Wednesday morning Feb. 22 in time for the military exercises. BLUE KEY SOCIETY VERY ACTIVE HERE Trophy to be Awarded to Outstanding Student Blue Key has proved itself one of the most beneficial and active organizations on the campus. Meetings are held every two weeks at luncheon, and questions of interest to the student body and of vital concern to the college are discussed. One of the most important duties that the Blue Key has assumed is the problem of adequately providing for the housing, information, and entertainment of all visiting athletic teams. Arrangements for the Cotton States Tournament, to be held in Auburn this week, have been taken care of by the society and the visiting teams will be assured a delightful visit. The cooperation of Blue Key with the Ki-wanis Club will%lso be a great help in putting on the Will Rogers program next month. In addition to this work, the society gives an annual award, the Blue Key Trophy, to the man who has rendered the most outstanding service to Auburn during his college career. This man is selected from the Senior Class by a faculty committee, of which W. H. Hutsell is chairman. Marriage of Auburn's Mayor Is of Interest Dr. Yarbrough and Miss Strudwiek Are Married in Florence A wedding centering the interest of a wide circle of friends throughout the South was that of Miss Mary Rebecca Strudwiek, of Demopolis, Ala., and Dr. Cecil Sentello Yarbrough, of Auburn, which was solemnized Sunday afternoon on the wedding anniversary of the bride's parents, at the home of the bride's brother and sister, Mr. and Mrs. Lester Rice Nor-vell, in Florence. Dr. Yarbrough is a member of a prominent family of East Alabama. He is a physicial of note and is mayor of Auburn, where they will be at home after a wedding trip to Washington, D. C. Among the out-of-town guests at the wedding were Mrs. Samuel Strudwiek and Carter C. Strudwiek, of Demopolis, Mrs. Edward C. Snow, of Las Cruces, N. M., Mrs. Marvin R. Heflin, of Columbus, Ga., Dr. and Mrs. John Kimbrough, of Hartselle relatives of the bride and Homer Wright, of Auburn. R. O. T. C. Discussed At Council Meeting "Should R. O. T. C. be required in. our college?" was the subject discussed at the Friendship Council discussions this week. Capt. Anderson presented the subject at the Normal Discussion at the "Y" Monday night at 6:30, and brought out some interesting facts about R. O. T. C. in colleges, and further into the outlook of R. O. T. C. which is preparedness for war. War in the past has been an inevitable thing, and indications are that it will continue to be so. Efforts to control war by brotherly love methods, though they may be good, will never secure absolute world peace due to different nationalities and to different economic interests in different countries or in the same country. Practically all wars have been from economic causes. It is the opinion of Capt. Anderson that R. O. T. C. in our college is (Continued on Page 6.) MILITARY BALL ARRANGEMENTS ARE COMPLETED Brilliant Social Affair Takes Place February 21 GOV. GRAVES EXPECTED General R. P. Davis Also Is Invited to Attend Dance MANY VISITORS WILL HEAR WILL R0GERSSPEAK Governor Graves and General Collins are Invited by Anderson TICKETS ARE GOING FAST Auburn Fortunate To Book Appearance of Mr. Rogers Arrangements Completed All arrangements have been com pleted and everybody in Auburn is marking time awaiting the sound of the bugle which will officially open the annual military ball given by the cadet officers of the R. O. T. C. unit promptly at ten o'clock Tuesday nite February the 21. It has long been the custom of army posts to have brilliant affairs on this date, and since its introduction into Auburn it has become one of the outstanding social events of the school year. Notables Expected Governor Bibb Graves, Major General Richard P. Davis and their respective staffs which will be in Auburn on Washington's birthday have been invited, and it is expected that they will anticipate their visit by arriving in time for this.fuction. Decorations The decoration committee has been hard at work. Everything will be in keeping with the occasion and will help to create a martial atmosphere. From a artillery wheel suspended from the ceiling as the center, red, white, and blue crepe streamers will radiate in all directions. The R. O. T. C. regimental colors will also be a feature of the decorations. Crossed infantry rifles with the various engineer and artillery battery guidons will be ranged around the room. To give a finishing touch to the military atmosphere various light weight firing pieces including a one pounder, a stokes mortar, and machine guns will be placed about the orchestra stage. The program includes two no-breaks, an artillery leadout ,an engineer leadout, and a Scabbard and Blade leadout. Besides these, the program will include several features that the committee has planned and which will furnish excellent entertainment. / Invitations Sent Invitations have been sent to a hundred and twenty-five girls representing five different states. Many have already acepted and many more probably will before the week is out. The names of the invited girls are listed below: Misses Louise Adams, Mildred Adams, Katherine Agricola, J. Beth Apperson, Kirk Armstrong, Elveree Arnold, Edith Ball, Louise Ballowe, Anna Bendersky, Mildred Burgin, Frances Dissell, Margaret Caldwell, Katherine Clay, Majorie Clifton, May Coggin, Claire Cook, Louise Crenshaw, Ethel Cushing, Taylee David- (Continued on page 6) Governor and Mrs. Bibb Graves and General Edgar T. Collins, commanding officer of Fort Benning, Georgia, may be among those present in Auburn on March 3 when Will Rogers will deliver one of his famous monologues during which he will talk about "everything and everybody." Capt. B. C. Anderson, president of the Kiwanis Club of Auburn, the organization sponsoring the Will Rogers feature, has sent invitations to these high officials, asking them to be present as guests of the club. Replies have not been received. Meantime, Emmett Sizemore who is directing ticket sales, announces that all $2.50 tickets have been sold, leaving only the $1.50 and $2.00 tickets. The cheaper tickets are for the balcony of the Gymnasium in which Mr. Rogers will present his entertainment, and most of these will be taken by students. They are being sold at drug stores in Auburn. When Mr. Rogers "strolls out" on the platform at Auburn that night he will face not only an Auburn audience but an East Alabama audience. Army officials and others at Fort Benning and some from Columbus, Georgia, have bought tickets already,,, and others are expected to do so. LaGrange and West Point and other Georgia towns will be represented as well as a dozen or more towns in East Alabama. One man sent a check for $115.00. In bringing Mr. Rogers to Auburn it is pointed out that the Kiwanis club has made it possible for many to hear him who would be unable to go to a distant city. It is unusual for a town of this size to be able to book him, but all indications are that it will go over in a big way. HOOT NANNIE'S NEW CHAPTERS Grand Officers Install Five Chapters in Atlanta The Royal Order of the Hoot Nannies" established five chapters in Atlanta, Ga. last week and will put as many in Birmingham this week end, we are told by Grand Papa Dick Adams of The "Hoot Nannies." The installation of the five new chapters bring the total number of chapters to Five Thousand and Five. It is generally known that the Hoot Nannies will be 50,000,000 strong in a few months and that that will be the limit as the constitution reads that there shall be no more than that number on the roster at one time. The initiation it Atlanta was in charge of High Wiffenpobf Papa Jack Fain Head scribe No. 1, who is a member of the grand council of Hoot Nannies. Brother Adams was unable to make the trip as he was suffering from a very bad case of the D. T's, which he contracted during the dances. He elected in his place though a very capable man, none other than "Dusty" Porter, also a member of the grand council. The team went up in Jack Fain's car, riding nine in a four passenger vehicle. Another car also carried a load (?) to Atlanta; it was piloted by "Sir Don" May a prominent member of the organization. The team was entertained Friday night before the initiation by the Pi Phi sorority with a large formal dance at the Druid Hills Golf Club in Atlanta. The members of the initiation team were: George Morgan, Charlie Davis, Jack McLesky, Dusty Porter, Jack Fain, Don May, Hubert Jackson, Jimmie' Parker, Harry Riley, Wilcox Randle and Breezy Winn. Mr. McClesky Dies in Atlanta Last Week Jack McClesky, of Atlanta, a member of the freshman class has left school because of the death of. his father who died last Thursday as a result of an automobile accident. Mr. McClesky was seriously injured on Feb. 4th, when the car in which he was riding collided with an oil truck near Athens, Ga. Both cars were overturned, killing six instantly and seriously injuring several others. He was rushed to a hospital in Athens where he was later operated on and was beginning to show signs of improvement Monday, but was worse Tuesday due to internal injuries which had not been known up until that time. Mr. McCleskey died Thursday morning and was buried in Abbeville, South Carolina Friday. Jack, upon hearing of his father's condition left here Tuesday night and reached his father just a few hours before his death. WORK STARTED ON HOME OF NEW M0VIETOEATRE Auditorium to Seat Nine Hundred Persons Planned SPANISH STYLE TO BE USED Building Expected "to be Com-p l e t ed Early in May Construction work has been started, by the J. M. Thomas estate, on a new moving picture house. This house is being built on the lot adjoining the Thomas hotel. Thenew theatre will be a modern structure of Spanish architecture and the' equipment will include up to date heating, lighting and colling arrangements. It will be a single story affair 60 by 165 feet and will not have a balcony. The floor will slope to the front in order that a clear view of the screen may be had from any seat in the house. The theatre will have a seating capacity of 900 and will cost $30,000. Only first run pictures corresponding to those' presented in the larger cities will be shown. An orchestra will furnish music at the night performance and the "management is planning on installing a pipe organ so that they may give the best music in connection with the pictures. It is thought that the theatre will be one of the most comfortable and enjoyable in East Alabama. Contract for the building was let to T. R. Buning, of Atlanta, and the interior decoration is to be done by an Atlanta expert. The theatre will operate under the name of Tiger Theatre, Inc., Auburn, Alabama, of which R. B. Wilby is president, and T. A. Rogers is Secretary-manager. The contract calls for completion by June the 1st, but if the weather permits it will be completed early in May.

MISS PICKENS IS STAFF ADDITION Has Had Experience in North Carolina Work After nine years of successful experience as county agent in North Carolina and a special university course, Miss Nell Pickens has come to Alabama to join the extension service staff of the Alabama Polytechnic Institute as extension clothing specialist. She arrived Auburn and has started her field work in the state after a conference with Miss Helen Johnson, -state leader of home demonstration work, Director L. N. Duncan, and other members of the staff. She is state leader in clothing, working in cooperation with the county home demonstration agents.

The prize, which was ten dollars in cash, was awarded to the Websterian Literary Society who was adjudged by the judges as having presented the best all-round stunt. Their stunt portrayed "The 1950 Date" and set forth some of the changes that are possible in twenty-two more years in the social life of our young people. The Wilsonian Literary Society, the Evans Literary Society, A. S. C. E., Boy's Dormitory, S. A. M. E., Wirt Literary Society, A. I. E. E., Chemical Society, and the Ag Club were also represented with stunts, and though the stunts were brought to a hurried close, due to the basket ball game, they were thoroughly enjoyed by everyone.

Circulation Dept. Circulation Dept. March the third may be looked forward to with much interest by the people of Auburn for Will Rogers is ar personality that stands out preeminently. It is well worth ones time and money to hear him. It is said that he is the greatest humorist since Mark Twain. Even the grim visage of Mr. Cooldige was changed on the occasion when the President was introduced to the "Unofficial Embassador" The latter extended his hand and asked "What was the name?" As seats are selling fast students are urged to purchase tickets now. Mr. Rogers has probably never appeared in a town as small as Auburn and probably never before has the public been afforded the opportunity to hear him at such reasonable prices. The Kiwanis Club is to be congratulated on their good work in securing such a prominent speaker. This year marks the beginning of an annual award offered by the Blue Key Honor Society to recognize the man who has rendered the most conspicuous service to the college. The individual is to be selected by a committee of faculty members who best know the student body. An effort was made to select only those faculty men who were closely connected and associated with the majority of students and at the same time have a fair representation from most of the departments of the college. It is hoped that the Blue Key Trophy will fill a long felt need for the recognition of such an outstanding individual and furthermore, that it may be a Holy Grail toward which each Auburn man might strive as the greatest material honor which might be bestowed on any student during his college days. Auburn has a good basketball team which, needless to say, is backed wholeheartedly by a loyal student body. All too frequently does the average follower of the game have the wrong attitude toward the college and athletics. There are other colleges with just as strong teams and with ideals and spirit just as noble as can be found in the Village of the Plains. We moderns have some of the Roman ideas about bloody conflict. We too often forget that the main object in athletics is not to win but to develop. There is not much lost if we lose one game nor is the honor of the college at stake, to any high degree, in athletic contests. We love our college and the teams that represent her but when a referee is given the 'razzberry' because he did not see all that took place there should be no vocal expression of distention or disapproval from the spectators. Especially is this true when the onlookers know but little of the fine points of the game. Lieutenant Roosma, who has refereed the last two games knows basketball. He played in one hundred and fifty nine straight games in a New Jersey city and later was the star of the team at West Point where he graduated two years ago. He stays in training the entire year. The athletic authorities here report that the refereeing of the last two games was the most satisfactory that has been done this year. There should be no grounds for criticism of a man who knows the game from all angles. The discordant note that was heard from the spectators at the last game indicates that there was a spirit of jealouy prevalent which asserted itself when the successful outcome of the local quintet was in jeo-pardy. This is an example^nf hanging our unwashed clothes in the front yard. Such an unethical breach should be closed before the honor of the college is encroached upon too far. COLLEGE FAILURES Among the leading institutions, whose purpose it is to investigate and study the modern college student and his life while in college, there has been extensive discussion in regard to the reasons for the failure of the student to pass the necessary amount of work to remain in school. The ordinary modern belief almost immediately presents itself to those unacquainted with college and college life—that the modern college student passes the time idly, with wild parties, athletics and various outside activities. Such a condition rarely exists. College failures can therefore be seldom attributed to the false opinions thus suggested. The obstacle of financial limitation offers a second alternative. If attending college necessitates a student's efforts in long hours of outside work he may.be deprived of the proper amount of study to pass his work. Closer investigation, however, indicate that the inability of college students to pass their work, after entering a college that does not require entrance examinations, is not the result of outside diversions from college work. It is instead, the result of lax training in high school, county high schools in most cases. The snare for the freshman at Auburn is usually the course given in English or that in Mathematics. They meet the class and become suddenly involved in a subject which seems difficult not-withstanding the fact that it is merely a high school subject presented on a slightly different basis. Either failure or discouragement is the outcome and then finally resignation. By observing some of the students who find themselves in this position we find that they are not really mentally deficient, for they appear well-informed upon other subjects and especially upon those pertaining to the course they have selected. Consider the anxiety from which the young college student as well as his guar-dian. might be relieved if high schools would give a more efficient course and help build a solid foundation in the basic studies for college life. Auburn Footprints Auburn is going strong these days on civic clubs and honorary fraternities. Everybody is doing it—even the old folks. So before many more moons have passed, a course will undoubtedly be given in the behalf of those who crave efficiency in attendance at club and fraternity meetings: By the way, we have them, but what are they doing? O. T. (Doorwrecker) Allen has taken a sudden liking for a certain co-ed. We are not calling any names to be sure, but Door-wrecker can often be heard talking in his sleep. He mumbles thusly: "As the Sun governs the day, so the Moon rules the night." We can't say at present what these strange nocturnal mumblings mean, but data is being collected and we hope to soon be able to throw some light on this really delicate situation. "Sleuth-hound" Meyer has been engaged by the friends o? Mr. Allen to clear up this mystery, vrrl thereby prevent Doorwrecker from doing something foolishly. "Shorty" Culpepper tried to Ho a Lon Chaney stunt last Friday night, but he apparently lacked a bit of practice. However, we believe that with a little more concentration on the subject at hand both he and Gowder will be fooling people. It seems that our friend Max Kahn tried to be the Big Bertha of the A. I. E. E. stunt as he certainly tried to monopolize the whole show with his loud speaker. We always have thought that -Hugh Kinzer had a sort of flapperish look, and he demonstrated fully that he possesses such when he made the fatal mistake of trying to teach a crowd of evil-minded Civil students. Not only but 'she' proved a little later on that he has lost all 'her' virtue. "Goofy" Nuchols has been hiding for a long time, but came back with a bang when he trotted on the stage in front of Fire Chief's old shotgun. That must be the way of doing things down in his section of the country. First Soph: "Tom fell out of his car the other day and twisted his peninsula." Second Soph: "His what?" First Soph: "Peninsula, a long neck stretching out to sea." H BOOK REVIEW « THE LOCOMOTIVE GOD William Ellery Leonard When one who considers himself to be as nearly normal as any of us are today attempts to criticise and pass judgment upon one who admits that he is far from being normal and when, that criticism and judgment is to be based upon the autobiography of the abnormal one, then, it seems to me, he lays himself open to at least two sources of error. In the first place, he may have interested himself in such cases to the extent that he may be too receptive to please. To such an one, the very word "abnormal" might serve to convince that the plaint of the sufferer was just, and that a heedless word had broken one more who had been rendered incapable-of meeting the complex problems of modern existence. In the second place, he may take the easy course, become cynical of all who claim to be abnormal, and satisfy himself (and any who may care to listen)'with the statement that these are the excuses of the weak. Somewhere in between must be the middle ground of truth we must seek in reading William Ellery Leonard's The Locomotive God. Before attempting to discuss the autobiography, let us first consider who the man is and what he has done. To the literary world, Mr. Leonard has long been well known. Looking in Who's Who we find that he was born in New Jersey, that he has aft- A. B. from Boston College, an A. M. from Harvard, and a Ph. D. from Columbia. We learn that he has studied and travelled abroad, his chief interest being philology.. He is an Associate Professor of English Literature at Wisconsin; a member of the Modern Language Association, the Wisconsin Academy of Letters, Arts, and Sciences, and the Wisconsin Archaeological Society. • He has translated Fragments of Empedocles, Suderman's Vale of Content, and made verse translations of Lucretius and Beowulf. Aside from these he has written monographs on "Bryant, and the Minor Poets" (a chapter in the Cambridge History of American Lierature), "Beowulf and the Niberlungen Couplet," and "The Scansion of Middle English Alliterative Verse." But he is- known to most people as one of the best of the modern poets. Of his poetry, "The Lynching Bee" and Two Lives are the best known. On the face of it, this is not the record of one who would write in defense of weakness, and that he does so makes us more sympathetic and likely to believe, and makes us realize that throughout the centuries man has been too intolerant of all who have not fitted into the mold of the community, be that mold ever so commonplace. The Locomotive God belongs to the literature of psychology. It is the author's attempt to analyze strange phobias which have seized upon his mind to such an extent as to make him virtually a prisoner in his own home. These phobias made even the task of moving from one apartment to another in the same town an Herculean struggle. Personal property had to be moved piece by piece, so that there would be enough in each place to give the semblance of home. Friends in automobiles lined the way during the journey to make him feel at ease, and that he was "safe." At times he has found it impossible to go more than a hundred feet from his house, and he had to hire a substitute to do his work. At onetime he was fond of the water, of rowing and swimming. Since his phobias have come to him, he has found it impossible to row more than fifty feet from the shore, or to swim to a raft. Since he has been troubled by his fears, Mr. Leonard has done all that he can to learn the_cause of his weakness, and to correct it. That was partially his purpose in writing this autobiography. He has placed on paper everything which seemed even remotely connected with his fears to study the rise and power of those fears over his mind. To do this, he uses the methods of the psycho-analyst, methods he learned studying the case of his wife; who was afflicted with hereditary insanity. He de-^ pends for much of his material on what he can recall of scenes and incidents of his life. To recall these more clearly and completely, he clears his mind of all the problems and troubles of the present, and thinks of some one incident he remembers with some accuracy. As he thinks of the one, other pictures comes to his mind, and he is able to piece together bitlby bit connected and accurate scenes of his life. The first scene in his recollection was on a railway platform, when he was two and one^half years of age. He was some ^distance from his mother and parading proudly before the eyes of one of his playmates as a brave little man, when the train came rushing down the track. As it came nearer, the rush and roar paralyzed him with fear; he was unable to move, to run. With the smoke pouring from its funnel, the drive-shaft reaching out to shovel souls into the furnace, it seemed to him a demon of Uproar from which there was no escape. The whistle blew, and the smoke seemed to frame a fiendish face" yelling at him in a frenzy of rage. Finally, the spell broke and .he was able to run to his mother. In time he forgot this experience, remembering it years later nfter another, more terrible experience. A few years later he ran for his life from a group of schoolmates about to mob him. He tried to beat a train to a crossing, and the fright caused him to faint. Other frights followed over a period of years, culminating in the greatest of all when the people of Madison tried to mob him, accusing him of the murder of his wife. It was after this last fright that he recognized the memory of the first and the face hr the smoke of the train—The Locomotive God. From that time his fears have come upon him, making it impossible for him to travel far from home. Those who wish to see him must go there. That the trip is worth While, we know from the testimony of such men as Vachel Lindsay, Carl Sandburg, and the others who have made it, finding him in his home a pleasant companion, quite normal. Possibly his rigid classical education and his dependence upon books for companionship have unfitted him for life in the raw. After reading his acount of his experiences, we feel that the man is fundamentally honest, and that he is considering his case as impersonally as a scientist might, but we also feel with him that he not yet got to the real cause of his trouble. What that further cause may be, we can have no means of knowing; we Can but sympathize with him in his effort to discover it. As we read we feel the fine sensitive nature of the man. Even though we doubt whether his temperament will ever allow him to be happy, we are made to feel that he is bear-inb more than his share of suffering. Whatever one's final judgment may be, the book is eminently worth while as a study in the delicacy of balance in the human mind. It opens up a new world of experience to one who reads and sympathizes. m WITH THE GREEK % TOO MANY ACTIVITIES Editor Frank Scott of the Palm of Alpha Tau Omega believes, and quite rightly so, that fraternity chapters overemphasize the value of so-called campus activities and trie need for new men's participation therein. He writes: "Many thousand of freshmen pledges have begun the new life of students. The first few weeks will do more to set the patterns of their good career as students than will any other period of equal or longer time. Although a good begining may not be followed up, the chances are that the students who gets off to a good start will keep going in the same way, whereas the fellow who gets a bad start seldom overcomes the handicap. Yet many students, especially those pledged to fraternities, are handicapped at the beginning by the deliberate and systematic efforts of fraternities to get all the freshmen into activities. That absurd slogan: A man in every 'activity' and every man in an 'activity' can be heard nowadays in thousands of chapter houses, no doubt. And it will be put into effect in far too many cases. Then before long the upper-classmen will sit in solemn conclave to devise ways to keep the freshmen from flunking out and disgracing the chapter. "Some undergraduates are aware of the situation, as the editorial reprinted below from the Daiy Illini of the University of Illinois seems to show. When upperclassmen in fraternities generally see this truth and act on it there will be less need of help for the wobbly freshmen. " 'At the beginning of his collegiate career the freshman starts out with real faith in his college. Here is a new world, a new and very fascinating situation, a vastly more intelligent world in which he is to grow, to broaden, to learn the thoughts and ideas of the great men of all time. But, soon he adopts the ideas that are so prevalent among his classmates. He assumes the usual college boy's attitude, he becomes sophisticated, he plunges into campus activities, and very quickly there are so many things to occupy his mind that he becomes too busy to think. Very quickly he has forgotten his early ideals and intentions. " 'It is because the fraternity usually shoves its freshmen along this path (which we can't say is the right one) that the training and management of freshmen by fraternities is called a waste of time. A fraternity can't devise a system that is going to fit all situations and persons, and so, after all, the success or disgrace of a freshman depends mostly upon himself. Fair Lady: "Is there no succor?" Brave Knight: "Yes, I'm coming." Slang is used by all, but the following phone conversation was of an unusual tone: "Hello, droopy! Are you going to get your hoot-nanny out? If you are trickle by?" S MEDITATIONS ON THIS AND THAT IBy lupiter <]. Tluvius In my meanderings during the past week I have heard four definitions of Art. One may says, "Art is expression of the obvious." Another defines it as "Expression of essential characteristics." Art is "expresion of feeling," according to a third. The fourth definition is, "Art is expression of ultimate reality." Three of these definitions were given by underclassmen. Such an interest in things more lofty than the source of the next meal is to be commended, is even a cause for rejoicing. Has anyone else a definition of Art? A collection of definitions of Art might conceivably lead to something worthwhile._ A feble venture into speculation would not be a waste of time for anyone, would benefit most of us, and might reveal some latent Platonic intellect in our midst." I wonder? * * * "Bull sessions." Ruth Elder and Charles Lindbergh were the subjects of discussion in a recent session. One faction firmly believed that Lindbergh's chaste life as a youth was directly responsible for the perfect functioning of his motor, thus making possible his successful trans-Atlantic flight, and that the flaw in Miss Elder's oil line was due to an experience that she had had with a rustic Elmer Gantry over in Georgia. The opposition claimed that such reasoning was founded on superstition and was absurd. The final conclusion was that we should all be good little boys and our oil lines would never fail. More power to "bull sessions!" * * * A recent poll of the students at Louisiana State University indicates that they regard their honor system as impracticable. . Tossing honor systems overboard is becoming a favorite recreation among colleges, especially in the South. I have an idea that a comparison of the average intelligence levels of various student bodies with the relative successes of their honor systems would reveal an interesting relation. But what would cause that? I may be all wrong, but it seems to me that the honor system failures, through the lower intelligence averages, can be traced back to the typically-maniacal modern craze for college education. Every youth in the land, irrespective of his intelligence, apitude for learning, desire for learning, or need for learning is urged to go to college, is provided with loans that he may go to college, is even looked down upon socially if he does not go to college. Colleges have, as a result, kept pace in growth with the radio and automobile factories. The doors are thrown open; the chaff is brought in with the wheat; the average of intelligence goes down. Hand in hand with mentality goes the sense of moral responsibility. Isn't it logical? The diploma, a mere certificate of accomplishment, becomes more valuable than the accomplishment itself. Therefore, the obvious absurdity of the honor system, which presupposes that students want-education and not falsely acquired diplomas. But again, I may be wrong. Blind Tiger "Are you a college girl?" • "No, I'm smoking for my health." Don't get fresh or I'll chase you home." "I have no home." "Watch our, or I'll dig you one." x "Thank you for the hug and kiss." "The same to you—the pressure was all mine." A little girl of five was entertaining the callers while her mother was getting ready. One of the ladies remarked to the other with a significant look, "Not very p-r-e-t-t-y," spelling the last word." "No," said the child quickly, "but awfully s-m-a-r-t." The average American believes that: To go to college one must wear balloon pants. The college widow is the dean of women. College professors are all absent minded. Studious boys always wear glasses and use big words. The campus belle is the dean's daughter. Co-eds have dates every night and three time on Sunday. Students go around saying "Rah, rah," and "hay, hay." The fair co-ed kisses eleven men after the big game. The philosophy prof slams his wife and kisses the door. The star quarterback is always kidnapped before the big game. He arrives in time to win the fracas from Siwash, however, built. The frat house is the house that "Jack" Students go to classes to collect material for "College Humor." With Other Colleges The University of Illinois is said to have the greatest college band in the world. * * * * * The undergraduate publications of the University of Utah are forbidden by the University Board of Regents to run tobacco advertisements in their columns. * * * * * Mid-smester reports at Ohio Wesleyan University showed that juniors were the best scholars, while the frosh were the worst. * * * * * In a rather heated editorial, the Amherst Student argues that the employing of a watchman on the campus, who also spys on the students, is not in accord with the honor system supposedly in force at the college. * * * * * Louisiana Polytechnic Institute has now a national social science honor society on the campus. This society, Phi Gamma Mu, is the first honor society in existence there. The Institute has begun a good thing. * * * * * Mock funeral ceremonies in the college chapel marked the abandonment of the vivid green caps and arm bands that for the first two and a half months of the year were the badges of the freshmen at Bluffton College. The caps and arm bands were burned. * * * * * A recent vote of the student body at Muskingum College, on the Honor System resulted in a 349 to 21 vote for it. No faculty members were present. Cheaters are tried by an Honor Court made up entirely of students. * * * * * Alumni of the University of Oregon recently followed the example of the Ohio State alumni and gathered to discuss the question of poor athletic records at Oregon. The Daily Emerald, undergraduate publication, censured the graduates for their actions. * * * * * Four plays depicting North Carolina life, one a comedy and three tragedies, written by students and faculty members, and acted by students of the University of North Carolina, are being presented in eleven cities during the present northern tour of the company. The students at Chapel Hill have been unusually successful in dramatizing their environment, and their plays have been meeting with much praise. * * * * * Between two-thirds and three fourths of the Columbia University graduate students are scholastic "negligibles," Dr. F. J. E. Woodbridge, dean of the Graduate Faculties, concludes in his annual report. He equipped students capable of original re-would restrict graduate work to specially search and scholarship, and recommended that the negligibles be absorbed by the Extension department. * * * * * The old conception of the college athlete as a man who attends college for no other purpose than to play on athletic teams has recently received a severe shock by scholastic records recently compiled at Williams College, in Massachusetts, and published in the New York Times. The records show that the athletes of the school outranked all other men scholasti-cally. The reasons given for this was better health prevailing among the athletes and the athletic scholastic requirements. * * * * * The Yale News, oldest college daily in the United States, marked its semi-cen-tenial January 28, with a 100-page supplement, containing articles by many prominent Americans, and prints picturing the growth of the university. Among the contributors were President Coolidge, Chief Justice Taft, Dean Briggs of Harvard and others. In the supplement the editors tried to report completely Yale's development since 1878. They placed the range of articles from statement of administration policy to accounts of student escapades. * * * * * Wellesley college freshmen found themselves struggling with their classmates instead of combatting the sophomores when the second-year girls invaded their election before dawn recently. The freshmen had met secretly and had elected their president when a band of sophomores climbed the stairs and broke in the door. The candles which provided the illumination went out. Unable to locate the new president and carry her off as planned, the sophomores stood aside and listened gleefully to the rumpus which ensued, as the freshmen, thinking they were being attacked by the upperclassmen, fought among themselves in the dark. No severe casualties resulted. She: "My father gives me a dollar every birthday. I now have 18." He: "How much does he still owe you?"

That WAPI RECEIVES MANY LETTERS COMMENDING DANCE MUSIC By Harry Wise Radio Station WAPI, Alabama Polytechnic Institute, Auburn, Alabama, U. S. A., is found upon the address side of a "Canada Post Card" which bears the post office stomp of Toronto, Canada and is dated 9:30 p. m. Jan. 28, 1928. This is but one of the several hundred letters and cards which have been received from radio fans who "tuned in on" the Dance Program as broadcast by the local radio station. Then from far away Orofino, Idaho, comes a nice long letter from Dr. J. I. McKelway, superintendent of the Northern Idaho Sanitarium as folows: Orofino, Idaho, January 27, 1928 Radio Station WAPI, MAY & GREEN Men's Clothing Sporting Goods Montgomery, Alabama Alabama Polytechnic Institute, Auburn, Alabama. Gentlemen: Last evening I tuned in your station at 10:30 p. m. (Pacific Standard Time) and learned that I was listening to, and almost a part of, the Junior Prom—the first of a three night series. The Prom was being held in the Alumni Gym; the orchestra was under the leadership of Ross Gorman (?) and among the numbers recognized were "The Doll Dance" and "When Day is Done." The enthusiasm was marked, the applause, the laughter and conversation could be heard, together with an occasional "whoopee" from some happy male. In fact I almost felt as "among those present." Thanking you for a pleasant half hour and asking you to kindly confirm this reception to me, I am Very truly yours, (D.) John Irvine McKelway, Medical Superintendent Almost every state is represented with reports of reception of the high-class music Ross Gorman entertained us with, I. A.

Rooker, New Bethlehem, Pa.: "On the evening of Jan. 28, I heard two selections entitled, "When You Get Old" and Blue Heaven"—I also heard the announced destribe the color scheme of the hall which was carried out in Black and White." "Where Can I Go" and "When You Get Old" were heard by Louis Frank in Chicago on Friday night. One Mr. R. H\ Summers of Pleasant Ridge, Michigan makes some comment on the Dances:—"I heard your station broadcasting an orchestra selection "Some of These Days." Just before this number the announced was explaining how 500 boys danced with 150 girls-(poor girls)" We might tell Mr. Summers that those girls were."having the time of their life." Some of the radio fans get real friendly with Mr. Young and call (address) him as "Bill" just as we boys here on the campus would. One card from Patterson, N. J. reads: "Attention Mr. Wm. Young—Announcer —Reception very clear and distinct," and was signed James A. Wilson. Stanley Davis, Highland Park, Michigan, states: "I especially enjoyed the announcer's voice and his droll humor. If all you folks down there are as nice as his voice sounds it must be a pretty fine state"—Beauquettes for all of us. Many ways are used to identify and verify reception—Edward Haas, of Ridgewood, Long Island, N. Y. did it this way—"But heard you announce, as you were signing off, tomorrow's program. Then you corrected yourself and said you meant today at 12:00 o'clock noon, you would broadcast a news program. You signed off at 1:13 a. m." Many Alabamians, friends of Auburn are scatter throughout the U. S. and enjoy the WAPI programs. One card came from Columbus, Ohio, from people who once lived in Birmingham. But Ed Shirling who is coaching at L. P. I., Rushton, La., and J. P. Atherton of Quannah, Texas used the wire to let "Bill" know they were enjoying the Junior Prom music by Ross Gorman. So far as can be ascertained Auburn is the only college in the South to broadcast their dance programs and only one other in the U. S. does. Any thing that is the least bit novel is used as means of identification. James C. Calvan of Pitts-field, Mass., goes about it this way— "announcements regarding s c o l or scheme of the Hall—colors Black and White—Coach Bohler is mentioned-^ 6 feet—200 pounds—then intermission until 12:45 a. m., singing off for 45 minutes.' Another card brings, "I have heard your fine broadcastings and like them all. Your station comes in like a local on the speaker. Success to Coach Bohler and Alabama Poly." Paul B. Lovegren (?) Chicago, 111. Probably next to the Dance program the. announcements of the basketball games have attracted widest attention. These programs have been received all over the North and East. One of the best letters from the basketball fandom comes from an enthusiast in Palmyra, N. Y. The letter follows: Palmyra, N. Y. Feb. 7, -928 Station WAPL Auburn, Alabama. Gentlemen: About a week ago I was very de/ lighted to tune in and hear your announcer broadcasting a basket-ball game between Auburn Polytechnic Institute and Vanderbilt, I believe the last named place was called. I am extremely fond of the game and tfflve never heard one broadcast before. In fact I though the game was too fast to allow a connected description of it. However, reception was very clear and I could almost see the three James boys, Ellis, Aiken, and so on. I'm hoping to hear another game from Auburn in the near future. They have a fast team, a good band, and lively yells. And they are leading the United States in scoring, according to the report. Congratulations from the NORTH to the SOUTH. Sincerely, Miss Lillian Orlopp. Mr. J. C. Lowery, State boys club agent, Auburn, was riding the Pan- American north of Birmingham Friday night when we were playing Ole Miss. He tuned in on the basketball game while the train was traveling 60 miles per hour, he says that the game sounded almost that fast. Coming closer home we find that Dr. J. H. Kite of Decatur, Ga. writes: "You were giving music by Victor Recording Orchatra. You said that you were sure that some alumni were listening in and 'we feel sure that if you are you are having a good time fellows.' (I have enjoyed your programs many times in the years past)" The dance programs were more widely received than the regular programs but they b*y no means receive all the comment. One card reads thus: 1-31-28 Dear WAPI, At 10:55 p.m. E. S. T., I certainly enjoyed the playing of the "Collegians" and sorry that I cannot enjoy the fine show at Auburn. I am a 4-year shut-in and would feel honored by confirmation for my DX album. Yours for Success, George H. Trisdorfer, Sr. 126 Van Sicklen St. Brooklyn, N. Y. •Probably the best and friendliest letter of the bunch to Mr. Young and the radio station is one from Mr. C. Kirkpatrick, The Duke of Cahaba, Orrville, Alabama, who is a member of the State Board of Agriculture, and State Legislator from Dallas County. It reads— Orrville, Alabama February 11, 1928 Mr. W. A. Young, Auburn, Alabama. Hello "Bill", This is to congratulate you on the fine programs you are sending out over WAPI. I tune in on radios in all parts of the U. S. every night, but I want to tell you that lately you have them all skinned a block. You are sending out something worth while, not only your entertainment features, but your agricultural and other programs are all constructive and make for better standards of living as well as to inspire in us higher ideals. That quartette of boys are "hum dingers," and some time when I am over there I want to meet them and shake their paws. Today when they were singing the "Church in the Wild-wood," my memory carried me back to days gone by and I could not help but contrast that kind of melody with the jazz stuff which comes over the radio every night. And that other song, "At the End of Day," I believe that was the name of it, tell them that my philosophy teaches me that we never come to "The End of a Day," because when the shadows begin to fall and darkness enshrouds out earthly existance just when we "Cross Over the River," the day has just begun in a more glorious environment than we ever knew if, perhaps, wc have used the few short hours on thi ~> side the "River" in making life for others more joyous and happy, as they are doing in contributing so much to brighten the hours of us country fol!"3 in sending their voices attuned to inspiring music over the air to the uttermost parts of the country. The other day when you had those old fashion fiddlers pulling the bow to the tune of the "Bully of the Town" you came very near making me lose my dinner. The Madam kept on ringing the dinner bell, and sent the cook in two or three times to tell me dinner was ready, that if I did not come on everything would be cold etc., but I sent her back word to "let her freeze," the boys • at Auburn have "Billy in the Low Ground" now and that I was going to stay here until they got out on the other side and "Raise Hell Among the Yearlings." But the boys did not play that inspiring piece. The ones you played, however, kept my feet shuffling around on the floor until I got stiff in the "jints." Boy, that was great; it carried me back to" the days when we had old time dances, and "Balance All", "Change Partners," etc. to the tunes of "Arkansas Traveler," "Big Fat' Gal in the Piney Woods," "Hell Broke Loose in Georgia" and "Sail Away Ladies." If you expect me to make any pecans this year you had better cut out that kind of tantalizing stuff at Auburn. I may stop off at Auburn Tuesday morning, to see you boys. Your, friend, C. Kirkpatrick.

Tigers Look Like Best Bet for 1928 Championship—North Carolina Favored as Close.Second TIGERS LEAD CONFERENCE VICTORIES Pairings for Tournament to be Announced on Sunday—Sixteen Teams Eligible By Max E. Kahn As the curtain is turned down on the 1928 Auburn basket-ball schedule on the* Campus after the last University of Florida game Wednesday nite, only the preliminaries will have passed, as far as, recognition of perfection is concerned. If that tournament is not won, by your team, you can't be the 1928 Champs. But, say, Auburn is headed towards that much longed for goal and only a superior, clean, hard fighting team is going to turn Mike Papke's quintet from that straight path. So far, only one team has done that which is not desired by Auburn, and that was 'ole Mississippi, playing over their heads and with the luck of a genius. The fact was proven in the second game; namely, Auburn was off the proceeding night and 'Ole Miss was playing superior ball to their regular brand. The invites to the tourney have been mailed to the 22 different Colleges and if over 16 of these blanks are returned, some will be returned. To date, it is not known just what teams will enter, but it is certain that the entire list of entrants as well as pairings for the tournament will be published in the papers Monday morning, if all goes off as scheduled. As usual, the tourney will last four days, starting Friday and ending the following Tuesday night. Pre-tourney dope places Mike Papke's "Dreadnaught Five" ahead of the field in games won, total points scored and individual scorers. But the North Carolina Tarheels, the team, with the tournament championship habit, will again place a strong bid on the table for the coveted trophy. So far, the Tarheels, coached by Jim Ashmore and boasting of seven veterans of previous tourney tilts, have succeeded in turning back 14 opponents out of a possible 15. Tulane turned the Carolinians back during the Christmas holidays with a single point victory. Included in the list of conference victims of the Tarheels are: Tulane 2, Virginia 2, North Carolina State, and Georgia. According to the sports writer picks, the list of favorites will be quite varied. Many are inclined to believe that the Tarheels will come through to make the count five out of a possible seven Championships, others see the Orange and Blue of Auburn, once more on the peak of glory, while other reports place Maryland, 'ole Miss, L. S. U., Miss A. & M., and Kentucky as the probable winners. The Plainsman is proud to say that there will be no champs unless it is the Varsity Five. Following the close of the ment will come the sports writer pick of the mythical All-Southern upon which Auburn should be well represented. Surely, Akin can shoot as good as any other in the conference, being he is high point man, Buck Ellis will be a dazzling sight if he covers the floor in Atlanta as he has in the past, the James twins ought to go over strong as the best defensive pair in the race and Frank DuBose will easily give the opposing centers much trouble. A very neat All-Southern would be Akin and Ellis forwards, DuBose, center, E. James and F. James guards. Fellows, lets all follow the team to the tourney, if possible and be on hand to cheer them.on in the very best of Auburn spirit. With our support they will come through and surely they deserve our very best. Get together and meet in the Atlanta gym, yelling like Hell for the best basketball team in the Staes. Letter whoop Tigers! ~~ Varsity Takes On U. of Fla. 'Gators Here On Saturday Dates Changed for Second Florida Game to This Week-End Due to Opening of S.I.C. Tourney By Max E. Kahn Cotton-States teams will be given the unexpected privilege of viewing the best basketball team in the South Saturday night—in action. This was made possible due to the change in the schedule of the two University of Florida games. As the S. I. C. tourney is to open on Friday of next week and Auburn was dated to play the Gators on the preceeding Thursday, both teams were anxious to change the date for the second fray; hence this tilt wil come off this Saturday night. The time for the game will be announced later. University of Arkansas's Razor-backs made an announcement in Wednesdays paper that they were now leading the Country at large in points scored, with a grand total of 750 and with the center man high individual scorer. Well, it doesn't hurt them to think that they possess this honor but upon glacing at Auburn's record for the same number of games, incidentally sixteen, they will immediately see that they are all wrong. At the present time Auburn has a grand total of 774 points and is still going strong. It is possible even possible to close the season with a grand total of 900 points for the eighteen games but the boys will be forced to score at least 63 points in each of the Gator tilts. Why not? They've done it before and are surely at their best right now. Let's pack the Gym to capacity or as it has never been pacekd before and root for the Orange and Blue boys from Auburn. Surely, this is one game that the Orange and Blue lads are bound to win as both of the teams boast of these colors. O. K. Let's go he-Tigers. 1928 Auburn Basketball Schedule Date Opponent and Their Score Auburn Dec. 17—Montgomery Y. M. C. A. (12) 5—White Business College (13) Jan. 7—Ga.

Auburn Auburn Plainsman Quintet Drop First Game to'Ole Miss Friday Tigeri Suffer First Defeat at Hands of Mississippians Losing by One Point in Last Two Minutes By C. T. Ingersoll Last Friday night the Tiger bas-keteers met defeat for the first time during the season of 1928. The score was 43 to 42, and it was due to the uncanny shooting of Phillips, who shot goal after goal, and at such intervals as made their score rise very rapidly in final three minutes of play. Auburn had a four point lead two minutes before the game "ended, but the wizard shooting of Phillips came at such a time as to put his team one point ahead of the local lads, for the final result. In the first half the Tigers were •outplayed to some extent, mainly in the scoring end, but in the second belonged to Auburn when they came back and had several points lead during the greatest part of this half. The score was tied several times, once being 30 all and again 36 all. It was also tied in the earlier part of the game. The score at the half was 30 to 34, with 'Ole Miss on the larger end. We have no trouble in picking the visiting ace, Cary Phillips was without a doubt "it" for he was high point man of the evening, having made 16 points. Although very small of statute, he was not hindered in his goal shooting, but stayed a*U over the floor, shooting goals almost at* will. His speed was another quality that benefitted him greatly in his work during the game. "Buck" Ellis came next in shooting, his total count being 13. "Buck" played a wonderful game, and gave Coach Homer Hazel's boys plenty of worry in trying to guard him. Ellis had a particular habit of snatching the ball away from 'Ole Miss, when they would start down the floor. ^DuBose also turned in one of his usual good games and made 11 points (Continued on Page 6.) Auburn Evens It Up With'Ole Miss Copping Seam dPapk Tigers Easily Whip Visitors in Last Game of Series By C. T. Ingersoll Revenge is sweet, and so it was when the Tigers, turned the tables and beat the Mississippi dribblers Saturday night in the A. P. I. gym. The Plainsmen staged a beautiful comeback after losing the game the night before, and it showed that the boys can not be beaten by any team when they are "right." This game was Auburn's from start to finish, even though Ole Miss played a fast game, and were very accurate in their shooting. They had a snappy little team, but the Tigers beat them 53 to 38. Auburn took the lead and held it from beginning to end, and the Mississippi team did not threaten to over, come this lead a single time. The Auburn boys were running true to form, and by this form, we mean the kind of playing that is going to deal somebody fits when the Southern Conference Tournament begins. When Auburn can get their team-work down like they did on this occasion, the best team in the conference won't' have a chance, for the Tigers just can't be downed. The score at the half was 30 to 13, and the Papkemen kept around a 17 point lead during almost all of the second half. At one time A. P. I. reached a 22 point lead, with the score 43 to 21. Auburn rang up five points at the beginning of the game before the University of Mississippi could chalk up a goal. In the^irst game, "Jelly" Akin was watched very closely, and did not get many chances to break loose and make his usual high score. He was well guarded in the first half of this game, but in the second half he opened up and the Tiger's count began to soar. He lead the attack by making 20 points. Frank DuBose and "Buck" Ellis played an aggressive floor game, and (Continued on page 6) BUNK • " $ • BUNK AROUND THE CAMPUS BUNK « . BUNK By Max E. Kahn COTTON STATES TOURNAMENT FAVORITES In the past few years very few favorites have come through successfully in the annual Auburn tournament. But it is always someones inclination to pick a winner. No harm is done and if you happen to hit the nail on the head, as the old saying goes, you have much to boast of. So —here goes! First, the more probable winners should be Vienna, last years champs; Athens High, Athens, Georgia, with about the best record; Tech High, with a fine record listing a split bill with the Vienna quintet; Central High, Knoxville, Tennessee, should go very good, if they decide to enter, Eads High, Tennessee, running under the same condition, and possibly Millport, Alabama who has a fine record during the regular season. But surely that is a hard list to pick from. A coin, a flip and Vienna should repeat! Yes, a chance shot, but who can tell. Surely, they looked good last year and only one man lost, All American Prep School forward, but a neat rookies has fitted wonderfully in the vacancy left by Mr. Campbell. O. K. Vienna, we're for you, help us make a 100 per cent, choice. The above is not supposed to discourage any of the entrants, it is written in the best of respect to other teams ability and we want to wish each team the very best of luck in the entire tournament. We are for the tournament 100 per cent, and desire that you get the true idea of Auburn, as it is and not dressed for a show. Let every Auburn student •cheer on his favorite whether he's from the town represented by the team, knows a girl there or just doesn't know any better. But again, let the best team win! Yea Tigers! PEGGY FLOURNOY TO COACH TULANE BASEBALLERS Ail-American Flournoy of 1925 football fame' has been named by Coach Benny Bierman of Tulane to teach the Greenies the trade of baseball for the coming season. Peggs, as he is known, starred on Tulanes baseball and football squads and made quite a reputation for himself in both sports. He has already issued, the initial call for all. aspirants for diamond work and is hopeful of placing a winning team on the field. So far, his prospects appear quite bright, with practically all of last years nine left intact and three veteran pitchers on hand. Listed among the engagements for the Greenies this season are a pair of battles between the Tulane tossers and the Auburn Tigers on the Village campus. CONCERNING F. JAMES AND BEN SANKEY In a recent issue of the Plainsman, a list of the veteran stars that will be seen on the Auburn diamond squad this season, an error of much importance was made. Two of the best players names were omitted by means of a slip in the write-up. These names are none other than the veteran first-sacker, Fob James and shortstop, Ben Sankey. Both of these players have seen much service and will be here for their last year. Ben has missed hardly a game during the last two seasons and has come through each year with a highty strong batting average as well as excellent fielding average. Fob, on the other hand, has not yet finished a season. During his first year on the field, he joined the movies at about the mid-season point and last year he had the hard luck to break his ankle. However, it (Continued on Page 6.) Georgetown Takes A Drubbing From e's Dribblers Fighting a Strong S.I.A.A. Quintet To the Last Whistle, Auburn Tigers Annex Another By Max E. Kahn Coming down upon the "Fairest Village of the Plains" with the largest squad of players to be seen this season, Georgetown, strong S. I. A. A. contender was severely set back by the "Dreadnaught Five". A superb game was on the schedule and at the start, the Kentuckians were quite successful in keeping the score down. But the Tigers were quite determined and before the final whistle blew "they had, won their fourteenth victory of the season, had raised their season total up to 680 points with an average of 48.6 points per setto and Jelly Akin boosted his total to 220 points which incidentally, kept him high scorer in National Collegiate circles. Auburn got off to a flying start, scoring nine points before the S. I. A. A. lads could find themselves. Akin was the big man in the first part of the show with DuBose and the James helping quite a bit. Ellis just could not get his scoring eye working and had to be satisfied with a single field goal for the tilt. But, where Buck fell down on shooting, he made up for it in playing the floor in general. Everywhere at the same time is a hard deed to accomplish but Ellis sure scarred the impossible. The Kentuckians were in the game for all they had, but they represented another case of—outclassed. The entire team was made up of new players except Captain Hawkins, who performed very well at center. Allen and Hawkins led the visitors scoring column with Offut and Boswell aiding not a little bit. On the defense, (Continued on Page 6.) Chances Retaining Title in Baseball Very Bright Coach Moulton Completes Strong Schedule and Appears Optimistic Over Tiger Prospects FOURTEEN GAMES PLAYED ON CAMPUS Total of Twenty-Four Conference Games Are Arranged on Schedule By Max E. Kahn There are several means of judging Auburn's chances for retaining the S. I. C. baseball championship and all seem right favorably. Some say "a baseball team is no stronger than her pitching staff." Others "no team is any stronger than her reserves." And it appears also that "no team is stronger than her best players." Such is the lay of the land and in the words of Coach Moulton "Auburn has no pre-season alibis to offer." That statements seems to cover lots of ground and is a good answer to the three means of judging the team. Auburn will have the hardest road to travel of any Southern team this year. A total of thirty games have been scheduled and all are with the most representative colleges and clubs in this section of the country. March 23-24 has been set as the dates of the two opening tilts and will be a big asset as they will offer Coach Slick a' chance to -look his rookies over while in action. "A" Day, March 26 Annual homecoming or "A" day has been set for March 26 and the Montgomery Lions of the South Eastern League will appear on the Campus in the form of the opposition, This is the third annual holding of this event and should be the best, as many of Auburn's alumni in this section of the country will return to look ovtr the "28" prospects. April 9 Due to be Big Week Starting with April 9, the diamond artist will have a rather hot time as there are games scheduled for every evening that week. Monday and Tuesday will see the strong Georgia nine at work and the following two days will bring the Florida Gators here, who boast of another strong pitching staff. Florida was the only team to beat the Auburnites in a series last year and the Tigers are out for' revenge. Friday and Saturday will find the Ft. Benning squad in the "Fairest Village" for a return series of frays. Stiff Road Trip During May The first week of May will find Coach Moulton and his aspirants on the road enroute to take on Clemson, University of South Carolina and Georgia all at their home ports. Following this trip they will return to take on the Gamecocks from South Carolina in a return series and May 18, 19, will find them up in Nashville doing battle with the Vanderbilt Commodores who ended the season last year by giving our lads a trouncing, 4 to 3. The complete schedule is as follows : March 23-25, Ft. Benning at Ft. Benning, Ga. March 26, "A" Day—Montgomery Lions at Auburn. March 28, Selma "Cloverleafs" at Selma, Ala. March 30, Tulane at Auburn. (Continued on Page 6.) A fountain of youth for industry . . . .

Notes of the Societies WILSONIAN 'Sunday being Lincoln's birthday, the major part of the ^Tuesday night program was devoted to discussions of some of the characteristics of this much loved man. Not forgetting the Valentine spirit, Miss Katherine Porter played on the banjo and sang a few popular and appropriate selections. We mentally picture Lincoln as a great shabby railsplitter with a sad attitude toward life. R. G. High-tower gave some very convincing evidence that many of the popular beliefs about Lincoln are false. Discussing Lincoln as a politician, T. B. Shell emphasized that he strongly advocated the union and that he stood by his convictions. He was a self made man who sympathized with the common people. He believed that everybody should have a voice.in the government and perhaps SERVICE ENGRAVING Co \ IC&t&lo£ue »r»d NewspivperCuts "* Mtvdein an | Up-to-date Plaatt d.M.ENGLER FOURTH FLOOR ADVERTISER BLDG planted the germ of woman suffrage. We do not think of Lincoln as a humorous man. Sam Mosely told us that this was also a fallacy, and to prove it read several anecdotes from his autobiography. Naturally a program of this kind would not be complete without some reference to negro life in the South during the Civil War period. Miss Carrie Hester entertained the society with the reading, "Ole Stracted," a very emotional negro dialogue from the book "Old Virginia." EVANS The Auburn freshmen think they have a terrible time when upper classmen perform their sacred duty toward them, but Rhodes scholarship men find a situation far more trying and bewildering when they reach Oxford, acording to a statement made by Hugh Bennett at the Evans literary society Tuesday night. Mr» Bennett discussed at length the many problems the Ame/ican college and university graduate faces in an entirely new environment at Oxford. He pointed out some of the reasons for their poor showing in athletics ther. The scene shifted from Oxford to Texas as P. T. Wright told how dead bank robbers were worth $5000, while live ones were worth nothing. As association of Texas bankers, Mr. Wright explained, offered a $5000 reward for every bank robber brought BANK OF AUBURN We Highly Appreciate Your Banking Business J. W. WRIGHT, JR.

This reward was offered in an attempt to decrease the number of robberies and it was found to be rather effective. Mexico was the location chosen for subject of the next talk. T. M. Irby told the society some of the interesting facts about the construction of one of Mexico's new railways. This road was completed last year. Miss Izola Williams gave a very touching reading as the concluding number on the program. The reading was "Little Orphan Annie." It recalled the childhood days when goblins were as real as cookies. Business in the form of an announcement of the annual oratorical contest followed the program. Prof. Hutchins made the annunocement and explained the nature of the contest for the benefit of new members. The critic also made a few remarks about this contest along with his criticism of the program. A. I. E. E. The A. I. E. E. held its first meeting of the second semester Thursday evening, February 2, in Ramsay Hall. Officers elected for the second semester at this meeting took over their respective offices. The society was called to order by the chairman. Announcements were made, and busines matters brought before the society- A committee was appointed by the chairman.to plan an act for the society to be presented on Stunt night. Members serving on this committee were as follows L. B. Hallman, chairman; J. C. Youngblood; J. J. O'Rourke; E. R Jones; G. M. Ross, and S. L. Hancock. An interesting and no less instructive program was rendered by Mr. Alexander and Mr. W. T. Edwards. Mr. Alexander gave as his subject "The Cottrell Precipitation Process in Industry." He has for several years past been connected with the*Southern Manganese Co. of Anniston, who employs this process for several industrial purposes. He pointed out its importance in industry and stated very frankly that he though it would make a profitable as well as interesting engineering field. Mr. Edwards, who was employed with the T. C. I. the past summer, gave a description of the moulding shop there, and how the moulding was done. No meeting was held the following week, the time being given over for practice of the act to be given by the society the following night at Stunt Night. PHARMACEUTICAL SOCIETY Another one of those interesting meetings of the Pharmaceutical Society was held in the Pharmacy Building last Monday night beginning at 6:45. After being called, to order by the president of the Society, Mr. Mc- Callum, business to be dispensed with was called for. Professor Hargreaves spent about ten minutes in telling us some things about the branch of the American Pharmaceutical Society which the local Pharmaceutical Society is planning to organize. He told us some of the benefits which we would derive from having such an organization on the campus. Then he told of some of the requirements the Society would have to meet in getting a branch established at Auburn, and asked the president and the members of the organization to think about the proposition until next meeting night and have some definite opinion in regard to the matter. All seemed highly elated over the prospect, and there is ever reason to believe that the Branch will be established. Following Professor Hargreaves' talk, Mr. Nickel made an interesting talk on "The Outlook of Pharmacy." He said the author of the article was very pessimistic in the beginning of his article about the outloook of Pharmacy, but that it was his method of getting the attention of the reader, and before Mr. Nickel finished his talk, all those present agreed with him that the Pharmacists have a brighter future' than ever before. This being due, to a great extent in the passing of more stringent laws raising the educational requirements for the practice of pharmacy, by the various states. The law is already in effect in Alabama that a person must have three years of college training in order to practice Pharmacy in the State. Next and also the last, and may we say the best feature of the program was the music furnished by "Doc Yac" Threadgill and his "Rat" which Mr. McCallum had promised at the last meeting would be the main feature of the meeting. "The Whole Town's Talking" at Langdon Hall, February 28. WEBSTERIAN The Websterian Literary Society enjoyed an . unusually entertaining program on Tuesday, February 14. To start things, off, there was a closely contested debate, with the subject, "Resolved: That a lawyer is justified in defending a criminal." Up-church and Brock argued the affirmative, and Burdeshaw and Williams the negative. The affirmative side was given the decision.*.Plenty of food for thought was furnished by the debate. Following the debate, Raines and Threadgill supplied some . entertainment with their guitars. The music was greatly enjoyed by the entire society. "* The Websterian is organizing a basketball team. Nothing definite can be announced, but other societies contemplating teams had better look to their laurels. A. S. C. E. The local Chapter of the American Society of Civil Engineers held its regular meeting .Monday Night, February 13. This was the second meeting in as many weeks. This being to get the meeting running on its regular schedule, the second and fourth- Mondays of each month. The first speaker was Mr. G. M. Coleman of the senior class. He gave a very interesting talk on the plans of building a bridge across the Hudson River in New York City and also of a tunnel under both the Hudson and East Rivers in Lower Manhattan. The cost of construction of the tunnel would be 100,000,000 dollars. These plans were fostered by the Penn. R. R. Co. The subject matter of Mr. Coleman's talk was gotten from ah old edition of the Engineering News- Record. Mr. A. C. Taylor of the sophomore class was the next speaker. He had as his text "Building in the U. S. during 1928." Mr. Taylor talked very optimistic about building construction during 1928 and, in spite of the fact'that a decrease of 10-12 per cent, in construction during the past year, gave several good reasons why the coming year would show an increase. Some of these reasons were, destruction of buildings by fire and people demanding better living conditions. Mr. Taylor said that the west especially around Detroit, would show a large increase. The third Civil to talk was Mr. Paul Beck of the junior class. He talked on the construction of concrete railroad beds on the Pere Marquette R. R. between Detroit and Grand Rapids. Mr. Beck showed several good diagrams of the road. In these diagrams he showed how the rail was attached to the concrete and how the bed was drained. He also said that the bed would give a metallic or music-like sound not like the ordinary bed as the trains speed over the track. Mr. Holley McBea also of the junior class was next. Mr. Bea talked on road repairing in California. A very interesting part of his talk was about the controlling of a wash on a hill side. This wash carried 86,000 gallons of water. He showed by diagram how the water was checked. This was done by excavating 116,000 cu. yds. of dirt. Gunite, a pet name for concrete when put on the road by using a gun was used in the construction of the road. The Southern Pacific R. R. with the aid of the State of California did the work. Mr. "Bohunk" Bates of the senior class was the last speaker. He spoke on the outlook iif the Aviation Field. Mr. Bates said that the world war helped commercialize airplanes. Because this brought about the need for faster planes. The speed was raised as high as 150 miles, per hour. He also told of the different types of motors used. The two types were the OX 5 and the Liberty motors. The field of expansion will be in the way of mail and passenger planes. And the needs to cause this expansion are, more Air Ports or fields for planes to land. The large crowd present showed that the membership committee had been at work. Profs. Callan, Baugh-man, Hulse and Bowers presence was missed. We wonder if we are going to have to appoint a committee to bring them out to the next meeting." The next meeting is to be held Monday night February 27 at the regular hour. We want to see all the Civils there.

There was no-fire there, and the error was traced to a man found smoking a cigarette In an open window In a nearby house. The man who turned in the alarm said: "All I know is that It smelled like a flannel mill fire.

THE PLAINSMAN BUNK BUNK AROUND THE CAMPUS BUNK BUNK (Continued from page 4) is hoped that he will be on hand for every tilt during the 1928 season as his services will be sorely missed. Very sorry fellows to make this mistake. ROOSMA, ARMY STAR APPEARS ON CAMPUS AS PERFECT REFEREE Quite a change was noticed in the Tiger games upon the appearance of Roosma, four letter man at West Point, as referee in the past two tilts on the campus. Roosma was on the (championship Passaic, New Jersey high school team that won 159 games and later attened the Army training school at West Point. While at the academy, he made quite a record for himself, starring in football, basketball, baseball and soccer. He is now stationed at Camp Ben-ning and is a leader in the Forts bas-ketball circles this season, having an average of 34 points to his credit. As a referee, he is nearer perfect than any one Auburn has had so far, and ke knows the game ,and also knows he knows it, all of which makes the games faster, cleaner and harder. AUBURN EVENS IT UP WITH 'OLE MISS, COPPING SECOND MISS PICKENS IS STAFF ADDITION (Continued from page one) munities a leading project. Miss Pickens came to Auburn direct from Columia University, New York City, from which institution she has a B. S. degree and has completed half of the required work for a M. S. degree. She is also an alumnus of Weaver College in North Carolina. rt At Columbia University she specialized in clothing and home management. She was there 1 1-2 years before coming to Alabama. She took the different phases of clothing including construction, selection, and costume designing; her home management work included house beauti-fication and methods of teaching. (Continued from page 4) fought hard. The former made 11 points, while^the latter was not far behind, with 9. In the guard positions were the James' twins, who are easily/two of the scrappiests guards in the South. When a forward drops one past them, he can say that he has accomplished a great feat, for it is seldom done. They are fast and work to-gether in perfect harmony. They have piayed together so long that their actions are just like clockwork. "Moon" Mullin relieved "Ebb' James at guard, and .put up plenty of fight while he was in the f raoes. For Mississippi the Phillips' twins were the outstanding men. Cary Phillips made 17 points, while his brother, Ary, came next with 9. Both of these men were starts at shooting goals from mid-field. They were two of the surest shots who have appeared on the local court-this season. Line-up: Auburn (53)—Akin (20) F, Ellis (9) F, DuBose (11) C, E. James (3) G, F.

"Jelly" Akin did not play his usual brand of ball, in that he was not high point man. However he made 10 points. This is one of the first games this year in which he has not had the honor of obtaining the most points for the Papkemen. This just happen-dd to be his 'off" night, as we can see from the results of the second game with Ole Miss. "Jelly" is one of the high point men in the Southern Conference, and entire country. "Ebb" and "Fob" Jamas played their customary positions at guard, and looked better than ever. They both played an aggressive game. Ole Miss also had a set of twins playing for them. They were Cary and Ary Phillips, who also played well. Laird, 'Ole Miss played a great game at guard. There were no substitutes used during the whole game. Line up and summary: Auburn (42)—Akin (10) and Ellis (13) forwards; DuBose (11) center; E. James (6) and F. James (2) guards. Ole Miss (43)—C.

KRATZER'S (Continued from page 4) Georgetown was not quite alert enough to stem the fast working Tigers. The team work in this fray was not quite up to standard. Still, there is no kick coming. Auburn has a fine team and the worst part of it is that the students know it. They expect a forty or fifty point victory in every game, which is near to impossible for any college team. In the coming tourney, better teams will be met and if a mere one point victory is squeezed through, I am sure that all will be completely satisfied. A victory is a game won and .that is.all needed to make Auburn, Southern Champs. From now on, let's try to cut out the big head stuff and don't try to be conceited. Get behind the boys and fight with them, not using dirty methods such as razzing the other teams, bragging and the like. The summary of the scores for each team are: Georgetown (37)—Allen (7), Bos-well (4), Hawkins (7), Offut (6), Meyer (1), Rice, Clellan. Auburn (41)—Akin-(14), DuBose (12), E. James (6), F.
