Rudy Brown and His Orchestra
who will play for the Sophomore Hop,
will arrive here Thursday, October
11, to begin what promises to be the
best Opening Dances of the age. The
dances will be informal.
The bids, which number nearly
eight hundred, were mailed the early
part of the week. If the above figure
is any indication there will be a record
number of girls at the coming dances.
Rudy Brown and His Orchestra
have been playing for a large num­ber
of script and fraternity dances in
the Atlanta district during the sum­mer
months and the early fall. Ex­tended
engagements have already been
filled at the University of Georgia for
all of their coming dances. Rudy has
also booked Tennessee and Sewanee
for their opening affairs. The very
latest dance floor hits will be intro­duced
here by this orchestra.
Rudy, who is a past Victor recorder
and a present Columbia artist, has
quite a few famous artists among his
musicteers. His "Sax team" com­posed
of two old orchestra leaders,
namely Bob Lee, Charlie Troutt, and
himself, cannot be beaten when it
comes to making jazz's jazziest instru­ment
talk. He will also feature Dan­iel
"In The Lion's Den" Hornsby, fa­mous
for having been the first man

SOCIAL FRATERNITIES
ANNOUNCE PLEDGES
Auburn opened the 1928-29 session
with one of the largest freshman
classes in history. Seemingly the
Fraternities all took advantage of
this, because never before has there
been so many pledges.
Below are listed the fraternities
of Auburn with their respective
pledges:
PI KAPPA ALPHA: Piatt Boyd,
Birmingham; William Harris, Cam­den;
H. R. Phillips, Atlanta; Thomas

"Harvest Dance"
Tiger Sandwich Shop
Is To Open Shortly
The newest addition to Auburn's
business district will be the Tiger
Sandwich Shop, which is to open in
the new Tiger Theatre building. Mr.
Oxendine, the proprietor, plans to be
open for business by October 10th.
The Shop will be equipped with
the most modern sandwich equip­ment.
Besides counter and curb ser­vice,
six tables will be at the disposal
of the after-dance and theatre
crowds. Judging from the progress
already made in the interior decorat­ing
and general appearance of the
Shop, it will be quite a creditable ad­dition
to Auburn.
The faculty held its second dance
of the season in the gym last night.
Thirty couples were present.
Max Jones and his "Collegiate
Eight" orchestra furnished the music
for the affair, and, in conjunction
with the delightful punch, helped
greatly to liven things up.
The dance was supposed to have
been a "Harvest Dance." Everyone
was expected to wear masquerade
costumes. True, Lieutenant Leitch
came dressed as "Uncle Bud", with a
red flannel shirt and inner tube sus­penders,
and his wife represented his
daughter with long curls and hair
iribbon; however the majority of the
remaining dancers were evidently un­aware
of announcements concerning
the character of the dance.
The dance as a whole, though, was
most enjoyable, and if it be any indi­cation
of the success of future dances,
the faculty has much to which it
might look forward.

Social Committee
Adds Two Members
Last week two new members of the
Social Committee were announced.
The committee reports that to fill the
Senior vacancy Tom Walthall, Theta
Chi, has been chosen. The Freshman
selected is Randa Gross, Phi Delta
Theta.
Tom Walthall General Business is
a popular member of the Senior Class.
He is well-known for the interest that
he has taken in all college activities
during his three years here. Gross is
already well known not only by all
of the Freshmen, but by many upper-classmen
as well.
Auburn students, undaunted by
their loss of last Friday night, as­sembled
in a huge crowd in Langdoh
Hall last night. The display of spirit
on this occasion was indicative of old
times, for the auditorium was over­flowing.
Everyone present was wild with
enthusiasm from the start. Tyler
and Baxter, assisted by two Fresh­men,
led the cheers—and what
cheers! The roof on Langdon Hall
must have been raised at least a foot.
Prexy was there, of course, and
with as much of the "Ole Auburn
Spirit" as it is possible for one man to
have. He gave a short address,
stressing the fact that Auburn stu­dents
should not be downhearted
about losing one game, especially
when a great victory would be won
on the morrow. "Doc" Knapp con­tributed
a new song that certainly
should go a long way to helping Au­burn
BEAT CLEMSON! Here's the
way it goes:
A-u-b-u-r-n,
That spells A. P. I,
A-u-b-u-r-n,
We'll shout your word Hi-Hi,
For heroes brave will win the game,
The team will fight for our good
name.
A-u-b-u-r-n,
That spells vic-to-ry!

Great Season Seen By Director
"Bedie" Bidez
The songbirds of Auburn have
awakened: the first Glee Club prac­tice
was held last Monday night.
Many of the old members are back
while there are many new one6 to
fill the vacancies left by graduates.
Auburnites have always had cause
to be full proud of their Glee Club,
for its programs have always been
full of pep and have gone over big
everywhere they have been present­ed.
It is the belief of "Chief" Bidez,
director, that with the present ma­terial
he will soon have developed one
of the best Glee Clubs in ths South.
Reporters Course
Added By College
Hopes To Improve Quality of Articles
in Plainsman
The English Department is plan­ning
to schedule a semester hour in
Journalism aside from the regular
three hour course.
This instruction is for the benefit
of those who write news articles for
the Plainsman. The object of this is
to advise the reporters as to the
things that make a good news article;
they will also be instructed in writing
leads and heads for articles.
This course is expected to start
within a short time.

One Game Lost Is Not
An Entire Season Lost
All present "whisperings" are not pure­ly
political; going the rounds are being ex­changed
ideas among a minority of wary
dissenters weak arguments relative to a
rather down-cast position for the Plains­man
footballers throughout this season.
This is permissable, though by no means
advisable for those who wish to gather a
harvest of truthful elements and a sub­stantial
outlook. Coach Bohler and his
Tiger cohorts are energetically alive and
working; there is far more to the story
than the wayward results of today suggest
to restless, "do-something-quick" onlook­ers
and hasty observers.
Some talk because they have nothing
else to do and for the half-hearted thrill
of predictions; other talk for the sake of
being heard—some for sport, and unluck­ily
many against sports; and still others
look in only one direction—backward—to
issue their mutterings. Then there are
those who simply don't know.
Unfortunately, there is no available law
against this trend of propaganda. As a
result of thorough research, only one state
is definitely known to support the issue—
that of ignorance. With all respect to"
those who talk and talk and talk, the situa­tion
in the Village camp is one of no mean
outlook, as one might conclude from drift­ing
calculations.
According to the law of scores, Auburn
was defeated in the opening tilt of the
season. This mighty Institution of the
Plains, listed with a worthy group of
Southern Conference colleges, has stooped
to openhanded defeat from a supposedly
little machine ranking only in S. I. A. A.
circles—what a downright shame and dis­grace
!
But there is another slant on the story—
one being overlooked too often. Suffer­ing
from an inferiority complex involving
thirteen consecutive defeats, Auburn is
now rising from a below-level status.
Existing conditions make it a stark im­possibility
for a victory sweeping team to
emerge within a fortnight. Besides, great
teams just aren't built within a day. The
program being instituted by the present
Tiger mentor covers a period of years,
rather than a single game.
Looking back over the past three years,
and possibly longer, we view the Tiger ma­chine
in slowly sinking operations. This
decline must first be checked, and then the
laboring processes of regaining lost heights
put into effect. The plan of the present
coaching staff is not to spend a season's
energy on an opening game, but to climb
with the years. Evidence to the reasonable
observer discloses the fact that a founda­tion
for future football is being laid ' at
Auburn.
Coach Bohler is in no wise apologetic
concerning results thus far; he expressed
himself as fairly well pleased with the re­sults
of the game against Birmingham-
Southern. Admitting that the opponents
outplayed his team, he has no abibis what­ever
to offer. The defeat has been taken
gamely, and will be used to advantage.
Coach Bohler announced upon his ar­rival
at Auburn last spring that his team
would lose some games this season, and
would win some of the games. He chooses
to place the depression in the beginning,
in order to build succesively from the bot­tom.
Sound judgment and action is pre­valent
in his program.
Auburn lost to Southern; but there are
other games to be played. The confidence
and support of all loyal Auburn supporters
accompany the coaching staff and the
squad.
The general has said, "We will lose some
games, and we will win some games."
Some Schools Treat
Freshman Badly
We have heart quite a bit said about the
conduct of Auburn students of late. Some
rather hard things have been said about our
methods of arousing school spirit and the
resulting wild rampages by which this spirit
is expressed. However, we feel that our
adverse critics should judge us .relatively.
We heard a man talking. about another
school the other day. His account of the
means by which new men are 'oriented at
that school was interesting, if true. The
freshmen go to that school with a know­ledge
of its fairious spirit gained before
they see the campus. They go with open
minds and hearts, willing to be taught to
do as their predecessors have done, and to
acquire the famous spirit of the school.
With this plastic material to work with the
upperclassmen lose no time in making the
new men into collegians. They know that
they will be believed and followed expli­citly.
They force the freshmen to shave their
heads, and tell them to stop shaving their
faves. They teach them to leave off ties,
coats and socks. They tell the new men
that no collegian wears pressed trousers
and that he doesn't need to comb his hair.
The freshman is forced to do servile work
for upperclassmen, many of whom he can­not
respect, and few of whom are his bet­ters.
He is beaten into subjection with a
bed slat and scorned if he doesn't take it
like a donkey.
He is thus forcibly deprived of all egoism
and individuality; he is ground into the
mass and is told to shout when the others
shout; he is humiliated to the nth degree
and told to like it. A loud mouth and a
coarse vocabulary are extolled as the ear­marks
of a loyal student.
These upperclassmen then take the fresh­men
to football games; they get the inno­cents
wildly excited and incite them to
commit assault, vandalism, arson, and most
of the more serious crimes in the calen­dar.
The freshman who tries to stop and
reason about what he should do to support
the football team is beaten again. He
must do as the others do or suffer.
We are glad that no such conditions exist
at Auburn; we rejoice that our freshmen
are led in enthusiastic cheers by intelligent
upperclassmen and are kept from running
around the streets yelling like maniacs. It
is a source of pride to us that Auburn up­perclassmen
deter thoughtless freshmen
who let their excitement get away with
them from acting in a manner that would
bring disgrace upon the school. We are
glad that the man wasn't talking about
Auburn.
Forget Your Modesty;
Help the Band
One of the most inspiring things an Au­burn
man can experience is to hear the Au­burn
Band peel forth its music. It is one
of the most pleasant sounds that can fall
on our ears, and in the hearts of most of
us there exists gratitude that nothing can
take away. Pride and joy swell the field,
and we boastfully proclaim that that is our
band "doing her stuff."
Wo go to football games, full of pep; we
have a feeling that there is nothing that
can take a victory from us. Sometimes
though, lady luck and the gods of battle
combine their forces to defeat our pur­poses;
it is then that the band sends forth
its music to help us over a disheartening
moment. In fact, what would be the re­sult
if we didn't have the band at most of
the games. Could we have a really suc­cessful
game without it? It is hard to
think so. None of us think that we very
well could, judging from the fact that
everything possible is done to send the band
on all the trips. We send them on these
trips to help the gridiron warriors to win
a victory, and to bring a sometimes doubt­ful
issue to a successful close. The yells
are given much better when the band
helps out. So we see that the band plays
an important role during the season by
being the giver of hope and inspiration.
We can easily brag on the Auburn Band,
for it is by far the best that has ever been
our pleasure to listen to. We can take
greater pride in it when we realize that it
is composed of students who have come
here to learn to do something just as the
rest of us have. They are giving their time
and talent to help Auburn the same way
that others help her by bringing honor and
glory to her in some other way.
However, there is one discordant feature
about the band on the football trips. The
fellows in the band get out there and give
their all to help the team win; they fur­nish
music for the songa. But will the stu­dents
help out by singing? They will not.
Instead one would be led to believe that
they take a keen delight in listening to the
band when they should be singing the
songs and helping to cheer the team. Fel­lows,
not so long ago it wasn't that way.
Why do we have to let it be that way now
when we could help so much without very
much effort on our part?
Fellows, the band plays for us at the
games and it is our duty to sing the songs
that are played, especially the football
songs. So let's get in there and show them
our appreciation by supporting them all we
passibly can. It is nothing more than we
should do.
Not in the Curriculum
Why do young men and women go to
college? It would not be altogether in­correct
to reply, For what the curriculum
does not offer. Freshmen are generally
advised by older undergraduates to "get
into activities" if they hope to make their
college life worth while.
Whether the various extra-curricular ac­tivities
are all that they are held up as
being is another question. In a volume
entitled comprehensively "Under-gradu-ates,"
described as a "study of morale" in
a score of American colleges and universi­ties
and issued by the Institute of Social
and Religious Research, both the benefits
and the evils of college "activities" are set
forth.
The benefits are apparent enough—de­velopment
of initiative, training of special
qualities, experience in the give and take
of cooperative effort. The evils are apt
to be less in the nature of the activities
than in the excess to which they are in­dulged
in.
Extra-curricular activities, whatever
their defects, are in our colleges and uni­versities
to stay. They help to make these
institutions accord with our ideal of some­thing
more than a place to study. In this
country the term "college life" has large
significance. The practical question re­garding
these activities, therefore, is not
whether they ought to be abolished or not,
but how they can be freed of their worst
ills and thus be rendered more beneficial.
In some colleges there is official recog­nition
of these activities to the extent of
limiting the number in which one student
may engage at one time. This negative
policy might well be transformed into a
positive policy which, without injuring the
spontaneity of the activities, would prevent
them from running away with those who go
into them.
As our income increases our former ex­travagancies
become necessities, and we
discover new follies.
Prexy's Paragraphs
By Bradford Knapp
The love of an old graduate for his col­lege
is hard to define but it is a real force
nevertheless. What does the old graduate
love about the institution? The buildings,
the grounds, the old scenes, or even the
old members of the faculty, are these the
chief cause of this interesting sentiment?
Yes, I expect all of them have their bear­ing,
all of them are parts of the loyalty
and love of the "old grad." But after all
I think he has in his mind a sort of an
idealized vision of Alma Mater something
akin to his love of his country, his home,
his native land. Whatever it is, the oppor­tunity
to entertain these old graduates here
during home-coming is a real privilege.
All of us hope they went away with hopes
undimmed and loyalty undiminished.
* * * * * *
I went over to see the boys in Alumni
Hall and to make a little call on "Mother
Berney." "Mother Berney" is proud of
her boys as all mothers are and I am sure
that pride rests on a good foundation.
They are a fine group of boys. A lot of
responsibility rests upon them. They are
in a show place where everybody sees and
knows them. And then, if we do well with
them and they make dormitories popular
and respected here, it will be so much
easier to provide better accommodations
for hundreds of other boys by building new
dormitories. We ned their help.

True loyalty and true "spirit" are always
shown best when the team is defeated.
There these are manifest more than in vic­tory.
Anybody can be a good sport and
anybody can be a loyal, shouting Auburn-ite
when the team wins. What real men
are made of is shown in the shadow of de­feat.
So called loyal students and alumni
can destroy morale by criticism which fails
to construct but rather tears down, by
sheer fault-finding, by the old "propa­ganda"
route, by taking on an air of
"gloom". Here at Auburn we have no
place for the "gloom-hound." Courage,
fortitude, real loyalty, hearts and minds
united, undismayed, are necessities. Gos­sip,
fault-finding, maudlin sympathy for
players not in the game or replaced during
play will tear real spirit to pieces. The
biggest thing to overcome is SELF-DE­FEAT.
Who will help overcome this one
thing?

Overheard in a conversation:
"Rat, do you know that our laundry just paid an enormous sum for a new
button stripper? The said article is guaranteed to get every button and a few
button holes. They have put in a new pressing machine and it is much better than
the old one because I recently received a pair of trousers with two distinct creases
in them. It is being rumored that every employee of the laundry has to become
a member of one of the following fraternities, 'Phi Strippa Button' or "Rippa a
New Shirt', 'I Delta Stain.' If the above is true why should we not organize a
'Riska What You Got' brotherhood'."

AROUND THE CAMPUS IN 1935
The yacht races on Knapp Lake were won by the Sophomore entry "Cyclone"
which easily outstripped all its opponents after rounding the ten mile buoy.
Dr. Petrie's Thursday night farce in Current Events has been reduced, to
three thousand students in order that he may give personal attention to each
pupil and write their mothers and fathers about' the progress being made by their
sons. *
Auburn released an End and a Tackle last week unconditionally. Two half­backs
were farmed out to Mercer University. In a trade with the University of
Georgia, Auburn received a two hundred pound center in exchange for a guard and
a halfback.
The faculty has been greatly reduced this year as a result of the installation
of Vitaphones in each class room, making it necessary for the faculty to consist
of only the President and the Deans of each department.
With the aid of radio station WAPI and its representatives, the Extension
Department is now carrying on its work in all the nations of the Earth except
seven.
The total enrollment for this year has not yet been determined owing to the
fact that registration has been completed only three weeks ago, but from the in­formation
we get from the registrars office, the count has reached to about nine­teen
thousand students. Dr. Knapp is very encouraged over the increased enroll­ment
and predicts that the count will be well about twenty thousand, when com­pleted.
It is with deep regret that we learn about the death of seven hundred of the
Freshman class, last week, due to an epidemic of the Black Death. No one seem­ed
to know any of the deceased Freshmen, nor were there records about them in
the college, so the bodies were sent over to the Chemistry department for the
Sophomore medical students.
BOOK REVIEW «
CHILDREN OF DIVORCE
By Edith Wharton
New York: D. Appleton & Company $2.50
Mrs. Wharton has been wont to display
her characters with edge and elegance.
Whether it is old New York or the gnarled
reaches of back country New England, her
stories are likely to be as finished and
meticulous in detail as a period room, as
clear yet remote as the swirling goldfish in
a glass aquarium. In the years following
the war, when old forms of living were
broken and new ones yet to be evolved,
she seemed to be reaching backward to
decades which, at least as seen from a dist­ance,
achieve a sense of pattern alien to
the heedless modern. But in her most re­cent
novels, and especially this latest, "The
Children," she is delving quite consciously
into the formlessness of contemporary life.
"The children" were seven, ranging from
Judy, who was nearly sixteen, down to
Chip, just learning to balance himself re­liably
on his fat little legs. They were
the product of four marriages in which
Cliffe and Joyce Wheater somehow had
been involved. Five of them bore the
name of Wheater—Judith, the twins, Terry
and Blanca; Zinnie, the child of Cliffe and
a "movie" actress, and Chip, born after
Cliffe and Joyce were married to each
other a second time at the urging of their
eldest child. The other two, Bun and
Beechy—or, more properly, Astorre and
Beatrice—were the children of Prince
Buondelmonte and a circus performer.
Joyce Wheater had been married to the
prince while Cliffe was disporting himself
with the "movie" actress, and when those
marriages crashed and the Wheaters made
up with each other the two "steps" were
casually added to their original offspring
and Cliffe's new acquisition. Bun and
Beechy's father was otherwise engaged;
there always was money enough; Judy's
warm heart could take them all in; so
why not?
The story opens as Martin Boyne, a
cautious bachelor of forty-six, was on his
way to the Dolomites to meet the lady
whom he had loved from afar for many
years, now just freed by widowhood from
her unhappy marriage. On the steamer
were "the children", a governess and two
nurses, en route to the Lido to visit Cliffe
and Joyce, who quite naturally couldn't be
expected to travel with a troupe, but man­aged
to arange rendezvous in palacehotels
from time to time. Martin was interested,
charmed, then engulfed. Trouble was
brewing, for not even the new steam yacht
gave Cliffe and Joyce enough amusement
in common to offset the potential parties
and past spouses basking on the sands of
the Adriatic, and Judy foresaw that
another crisis was at hand. Almost be­fore
he knew it Martin had been drawn in
as consultant, referee and trial guardian
of the brood.
The first part of the book seems likely
at time to be swamped with the exuberant
gyrations of a young tribe as various and
agile as Margaret Kennedy's Sanger cir­cus.
But in the relation of Martin to Rose
Sellars, who practiced as a lovely art the
arranging and ordering of her own life, and
the over-wise child Judy, whom circum­stances
never had permitted to act save on
warm-hearted impulse, there is a subtle and
increasingly absorbing conflict in treating
which Mrs. Wharton is at her best. Rose
Sellars had acquired the capacity for self-discipline
and self-effacement which good
breeding prizes; she was beautiful and wise
and understanding, save when it came to
people whose values in living violated every
habit of her own, and whose children,
reared in another world, had been com­pelled
to accept its exigencies as the price
of existence. Even in their case she strug­gled
against intolerance. To Martin it
became a tussle between the reasonable
ways on which his life was founded and
the impulses which must serve as guide
when reason is forgotten or inadequate.
"The Children" has not the technical
symmetry and the surety of idea which
gave "Old New York," for example, the
cold and balanced beauty of a crystal
chandelier. But in addition to the light
which one is accustomed to associate with
her work, it has more than Mrs. Wharton's
accustomed warmth, and with the wider tol­erance
and sympathy which that warmth
makes possible it delves deeply into an ag­gravated
instance of the great American
dilemma, showing it with courage, vigor and
discrimination.

the editorial opinions of this paper. It is
a column of personal comment, and is not

policy.
* •*
DEAR SIR:
I read your column pretty regular­ly
and sometimes enjoy it. I think
that you should take the space to answer
the slanderous letter which was printed on
the editorial page in the last issue. There
is but one way to give rats the old Au­burn
spirit, and that is with a bed-slat.
If that makes them a little unruly at times,
we ought to be able to overlook it. They
have acted that way for a long time, and
it has not hurt anyone, and Auburn has
been known for its old spirit. Auburn is
not a tea-hound university and we ought to
be proud if our rats act like he-men and
not like nice little boys. This Ivanhoe Silva
is not a true Auburn man; he is a traitor
for his attitude toward our spirit. Out­siders
don't get the wrong opinion; they
realize that boys must be boys.
—W. S.
* * * * *
THE WRITER of the above states that
he has read this column before. If
he has done so, and does not know
that I cannot take issue with this Ivanhoe
Silva then my opinion of my ability to state
my opinions clearly is lowered consider­ably
. I think that I have mentioned this
subject of Auburn Spirit before. My views
are substantially the same as those of
Silva, although I have never expressed
them quite as vehemently as did the gen­tleman
of the romantic non de plume.
Time after time have men appeared be­fore
the student body and have wirtten the
authorities here complaining of outrageous
conduct on the part of irresponsible stu­dents.
If there were but a few isolated
instances of this conduct then I would want
to suppress them, but it is now a common
occurrance for Auburn students to com­mit
vandalism and many other crimes.
Therefore I cannot differ with the cor­respondent
in the bulk of his statements.
The situation is a delicate one; one
which requires delicate handling by strong
leaders. A leader in the president's of­fice
cannot cope with it alone, neither can
a leader in the student body, but with
both of them some change can be made.
We have the leader in the office. A diag­nosis
of the situation seems rather simple
to me. It is this; a certain olass of men
at Auburn are handicapped mentally and
morally. Through no fault of their own
their individual instincts have been sup­pressed
until those instincts have become
impotent in the motivation of action or
thought. Their mob instincts have been
over-developed and supply the sole moti­vating
force.
I don't believe that there is a man in
Auburn who would get out on the street
alone in the daylight and run about with
his clothes half off, shouting and swearing
at the top of his voice, as he hindered traf­fic,
entered the picture show, stole prop­erty
and broke show-windows. As a mob,
there is nothing under the wide sky that
I will put beyond the average Auburn
freshmen. There is a difference between
concerted action and mob action. One is
intelligently motivated—the other is mo­tivated
exactly as are the actions of a
flock of undomesticated sheep.
The mob instincts are a direct result of
the system of hazing in vogue at Auburn
which kills the man and creates the unit.
We encourage the freshman only in mak­ing
noise and running around in circles
after mass meetings. A natural result is
the wild conduct exhibited when the stu­dents
are under emotional stress during
football season. They simply don't know
any better and see no harm in releasing
their enthusiasm by acting with no regard
for decency.
There is something fundamentally wrong
in the methods which we use to instill that
mythical "spirit" in our freshmen. Their
conduct impresses the outsider as being
nothing short of barbarous. Men don't
want to send their boys to school where
they are taught to be raving maniacs. I
must agree with Mr. Silva—I'm sorry to
disappoint W. S.
I KNOW THAT ANY WEED CAN TELL
I know that any weed can tell
And any red leaf knows
That what is lost is found again
To blossom in a rose.
The weakest is the strongest, too;
For any moss has shown
How strong its frailest fingers are
To spit the biggest stone.
And so I go my quiet way
As any quiet thing;
I know the weed and moss too well
To be afraid to sing.

Tiger Freshmen Overwhelm Baby Panthers 25 to 2 in Opening Game
t
Brilliant Offensive Flashed
By Rats in First Encounter
By Tad McCallum
Auburn's "Baby Tigers" opened up
their 1928 season by overwhelming
the Birmingham-Southern Frosh elev­en
to the tune of 25 to 2 on Drake
Field Friday afternoon. The Auburn
rats uncorked a brilliant offensive at­tack
that swept the Southern Fresh­men
off their feet and the defensive
work of the Tiger Cubs was splendid
for an opening encounter.
After the first half, Coach Brown
kept a steady flow of substitutions
entering the game and all acquitted
themselves nobly. Auburn supporters
have long looked forward to a strong
Rat eleven and nearly two thousand
of these fans saw their prayers ans­wered
in today's battle. It will be
difficult to find a set of Freshman
backs in any southern college as ver­satile
and powerful as the fourteen
backs that Coach Brown used in the
encounter. The line was a stone jwall
to the line-bucking efforts of the
Southern backs and only two first
downs were made through the Au­burn
forward wall.
The Tiger Frosh suffered a casual­ty
in the first quarter when "Frock"
Pate, star halfback, was removed
from the game with a twisted ankle.
He was replaced by Smith. Hatfield
gave the Southern rats plenty of wor­ry
with his elusive stepping. The
Montgomery boy got away on several
long jaunts, twice for touchdowns.
Young directed the team as well, in
the first half and did some neat run­ning
himself. Davidson and Smith al­so
turned in first rate performances
in the rear works.
Simpkins, Bush, Andrews, McRee,
Stone and the rest of the Auburn
linesmen broke through time after
time to smear Southern plays and
halt the backs for losses.
For the Southern Rate, Blanton and
Lovelace in the backfield and Doane
in the line were the star performers.
Auburn made nine first downs to
Southern's four. Southern threaten­ed
to score in the fourth quarter when
a pass and series of line bucks placed
the ball on Auburn's 2 yard line. The
Auburn line held, however, and the
ball went over. On the next play
Smith was downed behind the goal
line for a safety and two points for
Southern.
Following is a detailed account of
the game:
First Quarter

Young received the ball and lugged it
back 27 yards. Young hit the line

Smith. Hatfield twisted through the
line for 21 yards and first down.
Young made three over center. A

brotherly love arguments. Barbuti is
known all over the east and other
parts of the country as being one of
the most confident and cocky runners
that the game has ever produced. In
fact he was hard to handle, but after
a few days of handling by the speedy
Euil the Syracuse star was overcome.
Several times the Olympic Stars were
complaining about the roll and rocking
of the boat caused by what' they
thought to be rough sea, but only to
find out that it was a great argument
between Snider and Barbuti. How­ever,
they were very close friends and

not make their own expenses. It also
brings together athletes from the dif­ferent
parts of the country which is
very beneficial to each and every one
because of the personal contact.

October 6 marks the official open­ing
of the Southern Conference Sea­son
as all of the teams swing into ac­tion,
many for the first time. It will
be a day of hard early season con­tests-
struggles which may make or
break some championship hopes. Fans
all over the South will crowd the side­lines
to watch and cheer their favor­ites
in their first real test of strength.
In the southern end of the confer­ence,
Auburn meets Clemson in their
annual homecoming game. Friends
and old Grads will watch with great
interest the progress made by Coach
Bohler at the Village of the Plains.
Clemson, fresh from victories over
Newberry and Davidson, face a blood­thirsty
Auburn team that has lost only
one homecoming game in the past
twenty years.
Perhaps one of the best games of
the day will be the Alabama-Ole Miss
game at Tuscaloosa. Ole Miss, after
upsetting the dope last Saturday when
they manhandled the Arkansas Razor-backs,
has strong hopes of beating the
Crimson Tide for the first time in
modern football history. On the other
hand Coach Wade will use an untried
team in an effort to stop the thrusts
of Ole Miss.
Another very important contest is
the game between Tulane and the
Mississippi Aggies at Jackson, Miss;
while Florida gets her first test un­der
fire against Southern College at
Lakeland. Up at Nashville, Vander-bilt
meets Colgate in what will be the
only intersectional contest of the day.
In the opening game last week Vandy
easily beat Chattanooga 20 to 0, and
everyone is anxious to see how they
will fare against strong opposition.

By Tad McCallum
Auburn students and followers are
pointing with pride to the increasing
number of Auburn athletes who, on
graduation, are offered positions as
coaches in the leading high schools
of the state. These positions call for
men of high character and it is a mark
of distinction for Auburn that over
twenty high schools throughout the
state have employed Auburn men as
coaches for the coming year.
Some of these men have already
made their mark in the coaching line
and have turned out remarkably suc­cessful
high school teams. It is only
natural that a good many of the boys
who are under these coaches should
enter Auburn on graduation from high
school. Wherever there is an Au­burn
man coaching, you may be sure
that he will try to implant a little
of the Auburn spirit into his team,
and consequently each year the Fresh­man
teams resemble more and more
a real Tiger eleven. They enter
school ready to fight for Auburn and
as any follower of football will tell
you, that means a lot.
Over, in Montgomery, "Bull' Mc-
Fadden, former Tiger linesman, has
worked wonders with the Cloverdale
High grid squad. Last season the
team was undefeated and from pres­ent
indications will be a contender for
the championship again this fall.
Several of the mainstays on this sea­son's
Frosh eleven received their Prep
training under the guidance of Mc-
Fadden.
Cary Robinson, one of Auburn's
greatest centers, has charge of the
line at Birmingham-Southern and has
developed a formidable forward wall,
as those who saw the night game in
Montgomery will testify. That same
line should create a good deal of
trouble for S. I. A. A. opponents this
season.
Other Auburn men who are making
good in the Coaching profession over
the state are: Tom Shotts, Athens;
Joe Market, Gadsden; Buck Ellis,
Bay Minette; "Nurmi" Nelson, South­ern
Military Academy, Greensboro;
"Diz" Pruitt, Opelika; Earnest Gar­rett,
Lineville; "Dog-Face" Sheridan,
Enterprise; "Rupe" Alverson, Tus-kegee,
Ed James, Marion High, Mar­ion;
"Hard-Boy" Pruitt, Atmore; Abe
Robinson, Evergreen; Fox Howe,
Brewton; and "Bozo" Self, Ramer.

as the States however, they are not
plentiful as they would like to see
them. The United States has always
had a monopoly in the game, but from
now on distinction will not be as much
in evidence. We the United States
as a whole have been just a bit too
confident over our own track stars.
The next time the Olympic games are
held in Europe it will be nip and
tuck throughout the games as to who
will win, but I think the Staters will
always be on top because of her great
array o? material.

world's record in the 100 yard dash
as many as six times, with a loafing
time of 9.6. The time for the cen­tury
is 20.6. Many times during the
races, I have had to take him out on
the grass and twist his right hip and
then jerk it back into position.
One of the best, if not the greatest
trainer in these United States is none
other than Coach W. H. Hutsell, who
is Track Coach and football trainer
here at Auburn. In talking to Mr. M.
P. Halpin, who is Chairman of the
New York Athletic Club and one of
the largest athletic heads in New
York told me recently that Hutsell
had his mile relay team in in the
greatest shape of any of the runners

team ready to tackle Maryland. Caro­lina's
other entry in the Conference,
North Carolina State, has a worthy
foe in the Washington and Lee Gen­erals.
^
Other games while not so important
as these, finds Sewanee, with a more
promising team than usual, pitted
against Texas A. & M.; Kentucky
warming up with Carson-Newman; L.
S. U. playing Southwest Louisiana
Inst.; V .P. I. grappling with Hamp-den-
Sidney; and Tennessee lined up
against the Praying Colonels of
Centre.
with the "Guts" and determination to
play under such a handicap is sure
to make good. We voice our admira­tion
of a man like George Faisst, and
wish him success.
There is quite a bit of wondering
and guess work going on concerning
Chicago's defeat at the hands of South
Carolina, but why should this sur­prise
the south? Does it seem impos­sible
for a southern team to go north,
east, or west, and defeat some of the
most prominent elevens from either
section? The day of past reputation
winning football games is no more.
The day of one section having the
outstanding teams, has also passed
by, and today the Southern elevens
take advice from no one, so if Georgia
Tech, beats Notre Dame, and this is
very probable, or if Spring Hill beats
the Army. The day has gone by
when we were supposed to let our
mouth flare open like a rat-trap and
wonder. With the south boasting of
such_ elevens as Georgia, Georgia
Tech and Alabama seem to have, not
mentioning other teams that are close
behind the a"bove three, the South
will apparently upset several dope
buckets before the curtain falls.
* * * * *
If "early season dope is to amount
to very much this year, the Southern
teams will do well to point to Tulane.
In the first game of the season, Tu­lane
got away to a good start in ad­ministering
arsenic to Louisiana Col­lege
in exceedingly large doses. Mr.
William Banker, the Blonde Cyclone,
from the marshy city went hog wild
to aid his team materially in the
slaughter of the Lousiana College
eleven by a horrible score of 65 to
0. We hope that Mr. Banker does
not gain too much momentum as the
season progresses.

The A. I. E. E. held its regular
meeting Thursday night in Ramsay
Hall. After a discussion of business
by chairman W. P. Smith, topics of
current issue were discussed by two
prominent members of the society,
respectively as they appeared on the
program.
First, Mr. "Booty" Pardon gave an
instructive talk on "The Electrifica­tion
of Ice Plants." In this he told
how the Dixie Construtcion Co. was
replacing the old gas engine plants
with the new electrical plants. Hav­ing
had actual experience in this
work, Mr. Pardon brought out ideas
and methods clearly which he could
not have otherwise done.
Mr. C. T. Ingersoll concluded the
progra^n by giving a review of how
the electrical laboratory experiments
Vere conducted in the past. He also
told of new equipment that had been
purchased at a sum of $16,000 for the
laboratories which was of great in­terest
to all students in electrical en­gineering.

Emory's Glee Club Has
Successful Trip Abroad
Emory's Glee Club, known in pub­licity
circles as the "South's Sweet­est
Singers," returned to its native
heath on Friday, September 14th,
after its second successful summer in­vasion
of Europe, more particularly
England.
The gleemen left Atlanta on June
4, two days after classes were fin­ished
last year. The first stop the
boys made was in Savannah, where a
concert was given on the night of the
fourth. That night they sailed for
New York on the "City of St. Louis."
The voyage from Savannah to the
huge city was marked by a terrific
amount of eating on the part of all
concerned and several appearances of
that frightful ailing, seasickness. On
June 7 the boat landed in New York,
and the singers got to spend two days
there.
In New York the members of the
club gave a program over a large ra­dio
hook-up, were entertained at a
banquet given by the Southern Club,
gave a concert at the Waldorf-Astoria,
and were introduced to Mayor Jimmie
Walker. Acting in an unofficial ca-capity,
they gazed at skyscrapers,
rode subways and "els," and both took
in and were taken in at Coney Island.
Sailing from New York on midnight
of June 8, Dr. Dewey and Company
arrived at London on June 18, after
previously docking at Plymouth, Eng­land,
and Havre, France.
For three or four days the Clubbers
had a good time sight-seeing, before
starting on the round of entertaining
and being entertained. The opening
event was the ball which was given
in honor of the club at the American
Women's Club in London. It was
heer that the boys got their first taste
of English hospitality.
After that, the club was kept busy
for nearly two months "filling a series
of engagements all over Engla'nd. The
regular paid concert engagements in­cluded
appearances at the Aeolian
Hall, the Arts Theater, and the Coli­seum,
all in London, and at the towns
of Weston-Super-Mare, Bath (pro­nounced
"Bawth"), Heme Bay, Felix­stowe,
Norwich, Clacton, Lowestoft,
Eastbourne, Ramsgate, and Bourne­mouth.
Last Monday night the members of
the Architectural Association were
accorded the honor of hearing an
unusually interesting talk by Pro­fessor
Milton S. Osborne on his tour
of Europe, which he made during the
past summer. Professor Osborne's
travels were so extensive that he
found it impossible to cover his sub­ject
in one short address; therefore
he will give a series of lectures on
the subject before the Architectural
Association.
In his speeches Professor Osborne
does not confine himself merely to
matters of peculiar interest to archi­tects,
but discusses everything worthy
of notice that he saw during his trip.
An attentive audience listened in
hushed expectancy last Monday to
his accounts of the beauty of Bel­gium,
England, and Germany. Of
special interest were his comments on
the youth movements which are mak­ing
fast progress in Germany. Ac­cording
to Professor Osborne, hun­dreds
of boys and girls are hiking
from camp to camp all over Germany
during the seasons when weather will
permit. These camps are located one
day's hike apart and charge only
nominal rates for food and shelter.
The movement is fostered to instill
love for the Fatherland by familiar­izing
the youth of the nation with its
beauties and wonders.
Vivid descriptions combined with
touches of keen wit and humor lent
color to the tales of travel, and it is
with the greatest pleasure that the
members of the association look for­ward
to Professor Osborne's future
lectures.
AUBURN PLAYERS HAVE FULL
PROGRAM OF WORK FOR 1928
Normal Condition
Exists at Chapel Hill
As a result of the recent discussion
of the treatment given freshmen at
Chapel Hill, N. C, by the upperclass-men
a survey was made in Chapel
Wednesday morning, which revealed
no abnormal conditions.
The Dean of Students had blank
papers passed among the freshmen
gathered in Memorial Hall and asked
each new man to give an account of
the reception he had received from
older students since he had entered
the University. No names were sign­ed
to the statements nor were the
names of any upperclassmen men­tioned.
"What we want is an accurate pic­ture
of freshman life during the first
few weeks of the year," Mr. Brad-shaw
declared. "The best way of ob­taining
this picture is by taking a
cross section of the class and learning
the reactions of the individual mem­bers.
The whole freshman class cooperat­ed
with the Dean in making the sur­vey
and the extent of the response
proved satisfactory. After making
a careful reading of all the slips
turned in, Mr. Bradshaw said they in­dicated
about what was expected.
S. A. M. E. Reports
Successful Meeting
Many amusing points about camp
life at Fort Benning during the past
summer were given by Mr. Shackle-ford
and Mr. Landstreet. According
to reports by these men, those who
have never been to camp have a very
interesting trip ahead of them. Night
life on the Company Street was ap­parently
far more interesting than
one would be led to think. Among
the stunts that are not likely to be
forgotten soon was the pushball con­test,
in which the Engineers com­pletely
outclassed the Artillerymen,
and the Signal Corps' attempt to start
a salty river by their tear-gas attack
on the Engineers.
V. L. Taylor gave a talk on the
Coolidge Multiple Dome Dam located
on the Gila River in Arizona. The
purpose of the dam is to irrigate one
hundred thousand acres of Indian
Land. The dam is 251 feet high and
cost $5,500,000. A ten thousand k.
w. hydro-electric generating station
is run in connection with this irriga­tion
dam.
A petition to the Executive Coun­cil
was drawn up, asking that Fresh­men
be put on the same membership
status as Sophomores. Plans are
also being made to get the S. A. M. E.
pins and ribbons.
The local post is planning on a very
successful year, and cordially invites
all R. O. T. C. Engineering Students
to attend the meetings.

Under the point direction of Dr.
Chas. P. Weaver and Dr. L. G. Gos
ser the "Auburn Players" have be­fore
them a complete program of
work for the 1928-29 session of the
Alabama Polytechnic Institute. It
includes both production and presen­tation
of plays upon which work is
now in progress.
Their plans, as announced by Dr.
Weaver and Dr. Gosser, call for a
series of one-act plays to be present­ed
througout the year. The first will
be presented at an early date. The
initial play of the season will be
written the "Paths of Glory" which
was written by Dr. Weaver, the cast
for which has been selected. It will
be presented by four students, re­hearsing
for which is now being done.
"Scraps" will be the second of the
series. It was written by J. M. Mc-
Murray, student at Auburn. It is
based upon an Alabama setting and
requires a cast of three.
The third of the series is now be­ing
written by the class in dramatics.
After being written the characters
will be selected and rehearsing will
begin, making it purely an Auburn
production from the original idea for
writing through the presentation.
This play will require a young lady
with rare personality and the student
body of the Alabama Polytechnic In­stitute
is now being asked to select
the young lady student for this part.
She must be a "personality plus" co­ed.
On the requirements for the young
lady to play this part Dr. Weaver
said: "She must be personally • at­tractive
in " appearance though not
necessarily beautiful; vivacious but
not flippant; temperamental but not
tempestuous; popular but well poised.
In other words, she should be the
kind of girl that everybody likes, a
good sport in the great game of life."
In addition to the above the Au­burn
players are planning communi­ty
dramatics and other phases of
dramatics for the year. Emphasis is
being placed upon writing plays as
well as presenting them.
For Dr. Weaver this is his first
year at Auburn. It is the second
year for Dr. Gosser. Both are mem­bers
of the faculty of the English
department.
Dr. Weaver has written two plays
and also directed two college dramat­ic
clubs. One of these was at Wake
Forest, N. C, and the other at the
University of Kentucky.
Dr. Gosser is an alumnus of Kirks-ville
State College of Missouri, where
he had wide experience in dramatics,
both as an actor and a director. Last
year under his direction the Auburn
players gave a number of finished
plays, among them being "The Whole
Town's Talking.' ' All of the presenta­tions
under his direction were well
received.
NOTICE
The A. S. M. E. will hold its regu­lar
meeting Monday night Oct. 8th
in room 109 Ramsay Hall. A good
program is planned; so everybody is
urged to be there.
It is said that the difference be­tween
the pessimist and the optimist
is that the former asks, "Is there any
milk in the pitcher?" while the latter
says, "Hand me the cream."

Presbyterian Stadium
Formally Presented
One of the most momentous occas­ions
that Presbyterian College of
South Cardina has ever witnessed was
the unveiling of the Cyrus Bailey
memorial and the dedication of the
stadium which incloses Johnson field,
between the halves of the Mercer- P.
C. football game on Sept. 28.
William P. Jacobs, grandson of the
founder of Presbyterian and a leader
in the campaign to raise the remain­der
of the sum, in addition to the
$10,000 generously given by W. J.
Bailey, father of Cyrus Bailey, to com­plete
the new plant, presented that
stadium. Rev. John McSween, presi­dent
of the college, accepted the sta­dium
in behalf of the faculty, trustees
and the students of the college.
The memorial tablet was unveiled
by young Misses Florence and Frances
Bailey, daughters of William Cyrus
Bailey.
With this addition to the athletic
equipment of the college, P. C. has
one of the most complete plants to be
found at any small college in that
section.
Websterians Discuss
Marriage Question
The Websterians learned all about
companionate marriage at their last
meeting. Miss Casby chose that sub­ject
to speak on, and she truly did
justice to her task. Companionate
marriage is only a term to some of
us. It should be given more con­sideration.
We should realize that in
revolting from the ancient monarchy
of marirage, we are pressing onward
into what amounts to nothing more
than trial marriage. . Marriage was
never intended to be that way. It
must be kept scared, and the sanctity
of our homes preserved.
In addition to Miss Cosby's en­lightening
talk, the society was given
the privilege of hearing Mr. Upchurch
and Mr. Brock. The former intimated
that he emphatically does not approve
of companionate marriage—nor of
any other kind, either.
Mr. Blankenship was elected treas­urer
to fill the gap left by the loss of
Mr. Beavers.
In conclusion, Mr. Raines enter­tained
the society with some music on
his guitar. His singing and playing
drew enthusiastic applause from his
appreciative audience. We hope Mr.
Raines will play for us again soon.
The Websterians will have a social
soon. Announcement of the date
will be made later.

New Greystone Hotel
Popular With Students
The Greystone Hotel is Montgom­ery's
newest and certainly one of her
most beautiful hotels. It is situated
in a very convenient part, of the city,
being only two blocks south of the
railroad station.
Opening three weeks ago, it is al­ready
very popular, not only because
it is new but because it offers excel­lent
service. The management was
very courteous to students last week
end. Thus, it has created a feeling of
good-will among Auburn students and
it is expected that the Greystone will
be another Auburn headquarters.
"I'm gittin' blamed tired o' bein'
told I'm gittin' ole ever' time I ex­press
my opinion about a lot o' th'
stuff that's bein' pulled t'day," says
Abe Martin in the well-known car­toon.
"O' course, ther's alius been
spoonin' in dimly lighted parlors, an'
wistaria-clad . verandas, but girls
wore somethin' besides breech cloths,
an' boys didn' hold up livery stables
fer money t' show 'em a good time.
"Mebbe our girls are wiser, more
frank an' open an' self-reliant than
they used t' be, but I'd hate t' marry
one an' have any loose hammers or
book ends layin' around, unless I
owned a bank. An' it's probably true
that never has our boys been as nifty
lookin', as advanced, an' as capable
an' as resourceful as they are t'day,
but jest th' same I'd hate t' run a
fillin' station or meet a flock o' them
on a dark night.
"I remember when young ladies
used t' hitch behind th' courthouse
so's nobuddy could see 'em step in
an' out o' ther buggies. I don't
know what sort o' stockin's they had
on, or how they stacked up, but they
never sued for any alimony. Th'
girl o' t'day would try t' step on a
camel if th' crowd wuz big enough."
POP" WARNER SUCCEEDS IN
PUTTING OUT GOOD TEAMS
Hen Lays 306 Eggs
In 336 Day Period
In 336 days, a white leghorn hen
in the fourth national egg laying con­test
produced eggs weighing 8.2 times
her own weight. Her total was 306
eggs which averaged 22 ounces per
dozen, or a total of 35 pounds. The
hen weighs 434 pounds.
During these 336 days this hen
rested only 30 days. She is the lead­er
in the contest.-
The hen is owned by Marshall
Farm, Mobile, and. premises to pro­duce
several more eggs before the
end of the contest, she having three
more weeks to add to her 306-egg re­cord.
"Other coaches have flashed more
brightly across certain fall seasons
when all America is football mad,"
says Dick Hyland, a Warner football
star, writing about the Pacific Coast
coach. "Two others have service re­cords
as long. A few have defeated
him, but none have equalled 'Pop'
Warner's best performances. And
combining his thirty-three years > of
activity, the teams and stars he has
turned out, the drastic progress he
has forced in our favorite sport, and
his own unique personality, he holds
his title securely.
"Warner can see a team play and
find more flaws in their defense, more
blocks for their offense and more
characteristic 'give away' traits in the
players than any man living. Stan­ford
has never been accused of play­ing
dirty football even before Warner
came there, but had it been a prac­tice
before the advent of the old man
he would have put a stop to it. He
sees every bit of it pulled in a game.
"One of the secrets of Pop's suc­cess,"
continues Hyland, "is his knack
of putting men where they belong.
He turns average halfbacks into suc­cessful
ends, makes star guards out of
poor quarters, dependable centers out
of erratic tackles and vice versa.
"His teams fight as much for Pop
as they fight for their Alma Mater.
And when Pop tells you to do some­thing,
you go out and do better than
your best to win. One thing Pop does
not do—and it is illustrative of the
way he handles his men—is to bawl
them aside when he has anything un­flattering
to say.
"His system—the Warner system
so often mentioned wherever football
men gather to talk about the game—
has taken thirty years to build. To­day
it is one of the simplest and most
effective in football. Pop has a flock
of basic plays which he gives his team
the first week every season. During
a season he will give approximately
sixty plays; about twenty of them
will be used. A rival coach once said
that if Stanford had a quarter ready
to call the plays Pop gives Stanford
teams, no one in the country could
hold Stanford under six touchdowns.
"The players never get familiar
with Pop, never feel close to him per­sonally,
although they do wisecrack
him occasionally and he likes it. He
is one of the crowd when he is with
other people, and his favorite indoor
sport is to gather several old-timers
around him and have a 'remember
when' game. His stock of anecdotes
and stories—parlor, bedroom, bath
and football—is inexhaustible."
Idle people are naturally attracted
to busy people! How they must envy
them!

PAGE SIX THE PLAINSMAN SUNDAY, OCTOBER 7, 1928
H. JONES DEPLORES LACK OF
INDUSTRIAL SCHOOL TRAINING
Southern colleges are doing little
to prepare their students to cope with
the growing industrialism of the
South, according to an article by
Professor Howard Mumford Jones,
of the University of North Carolina
English department in the October is­sue
of The New Student. "Nowhere
in the South," he says, "has the study
of economics proceeded so far as to
offer notable graduate work in this
field. Only belatedly lias the study
of sociology come to be an effective
force in southern university life, and
at that, only in a few schools. Yet
it is evident that the South needs now
as it needed a hundred years ago, an
effective examination of the founda­tions
upon which the industrial sys­tem
is to be built."
"***Such college men as are now
in control of southern business were
graduated (if they are alumni of
southern colleges) at a time when
modern departments of economics and
sociology were almost unknown and
necessarily they believe in, and op­erate
under a lassez f aire system of
economic life which makes the Har­vard
or Columbia student rub his
eyer in wonder. But I doubt whether
there is any sinister control by
southern universities which prevents
the growth of economic thought in
that region. The situation is far
subtler.
"One truth—one profound truth—
in the general .situation is that the
southern undergraduate is blankly
indifferent alike to economic theory
and to the insipient and baffling
problems of the new order in the
South. It is only natural that he

should be so. Typically the product
of a small community, typically also
the product of an upper middle-class
family, he does not know, because he
has never seen, such industrial areas
as the coal fields of Pennsylvania,
the mills of New Jersey, the manu­facturing
region around the Great
Lakes. He cannot envision, for he
has neither experience nor data to
go on, the possibility that in the fu­ture
there may be southern indus­trial
areas of the same hideous ug­liness,
the same raw and gigantic
energy. Even if his teachers tell
him.
"It is out of this dilemma that
southern colleges must somehow find
their way. As yet, it would seem,
they have not on the whole found any
solution. What is even more depress­ing,
there are a good many southern
institutions of learning in which the
need for awakening an interest in so
cial problems is not even felt. Shel
tered behind the liberal arts curricu
lum, these colleges continue to edu
cate gentlemen and gentlewomen
They frown on Mencken but they do
not substitute anybody half as inter
esting in his place. And in these
schools which are beginning to survey
the actualities of life around them,
most of the battle for academic free
dom is yet to be fought—that is, the
right and necessity for universities to
investigate economic and social phe
nomena has in most cases yet to be
established. The campaign, when it
is fought, will be an absorbing one
but the present collegiate attitude
does not seem likely to furnish many
recruits. It is possible that a change
of literary diet might awaken the old
flame of enthusiasm for southern
things and themes. It is a hopeful
sign that the negro literature of the
present awakens a wide interest
among southern undergraduates—
here at least is one situation in which
they are very much alert. But until
the hold of Menckenism among the
undergraduates is broken, or until it
wanes, we cannot look for much for
ward-going interest in the new South
and its problems."

Europe has the greatest air service
of any other continent. The train
service is very punk and therefore
they do most all the travel by plane.
Something like five hundred^ passen­gers
are carried in and out of Paris
daily by plane. All weak stomachs
should stay off these planes. The
trains have cars which are divided
into 1st, 2nd. and 3rd class, and even
into the 4th. class. The fourth class
looks like stalls and right tricky.
Coach "Dink" Templeton, who has
been very successful at Stanford Uni­versity
in the track game and who
was the youngest of the Olympic
coaches bought a bicycle immediately
after the boat had docked. This two-wheel
affair saved Templeton quite
a bit of taxi fare, but his garage bill
ran up to very high sums. They had
garages to park bicycles just like the
autos. Holland is a very good coun­try,
but the people are so dumb.

the rail of the deck, asked, "say, Locke
your stomach seems to be weak."
Locke replied that he was "shooting
his lunch just as far or farther than
any one else."

Personality Contest
On In The Village
The "Personality Plus Coed" the
Auburn Players desire for the college
play soon to be given must fulfill the
following requirements:
She must be personally attractive
in appearance though not necessarily
beautiful; vivacious but not flippant;
temperamental but not tempestuous;
popular but well poised. In other
words, she should be the kind of girl
that everybody likes, a good sport in
the great game of life.
Have we such a girl at Auburn?
Certainly—many of them, no doubt.
Nominations are now in order—and
votes too. Fill in the accompanying
blank which is both a nomination and
a vote and deposit it in the ballot
box labeled "Personality Contest" at
The Tiger Drug Store.
Vote early and may the best can­didate
win!
I cast my vote for:
Miss

Nobody likes compulsion but we
must all submit to it if we hope to
get along in this world.
At forty some women are more at­tractive
than they were at twenty,
but the number is limited.
The world is amused rather than
impressed by the man who doesn't
know when he's beaten.
Beat Florida!
If the girls made a practice of ask­ing
the advice of their swain's em­ployer
before accepting a proposal, a
lot of marriages would be postponed
indefinitely.
MARQUETTE GETS
NEW MONICKER
Origin of the nickname by which
the Marquette university football team
has been known for several years is
credited to a young sports writer,
now headlining for a New York city
daily, who gave that monicker to
Coach Frank J. Murrays' eleven after
watching them crush Boston college
and the University of Detroit on suc­cessive
Saturdays in the fall of 1923.
Additional reason for calling the
Marquette eleven the Golden Avalan­che
is had in the fact that 10,443
pounds of humanity, more than five
tons, compose the 1928 Marquette
squad. That is the total weight of
the sixty-one players on the squad,
giving an average of 171 pounds.
The trouble with a woman who can
add up a long column of figures cor­rectly
is that she can never get her
hair to look right.
Beat Florida!
Oglethorpe Expecting
Large Enrollment
With one hundred and fifty fresh­men
applications for admission on
file and an expected enrollment of
more than five hundred students,
Oglethorpe University opened her
doors Wednesday, September 26, for
the thirteenth collegiate year. No in­crease
in the size of the student body
is contemplated at present. Dr. Thorn-well
Jacobs, president of the Univer­sity,
points out that the present num­ber
is ideal until the expansion pro­gram
is carried out in that it af­fords
the entire student body an op­portunity
for personal instruction
from members of the faculty and
avoids the evil of crowded class-rooms.
Life is something like continuous
vaudeville—half the people are look­ing
around for "This Way Out" and
the other half for "This Way In."

Electricity
opens a new era of ocean travel
Miraculously quiet and vibration-less,
luxurious and swift, the new
electrically operated S. S. Califor­nia,
largest American-built pas­senger
ship, has opened a new era
in ocean travel.
Electricity drives the California so
efficiently that the fuel bill for the
initial coast-to-coast trip was
even less than the Canal tolls.
Electricity mans the winches,
bakes the bread, makes the
ice, polishes the silver. And
electricity cools the
cabins and provides
passengers with the
comforts found in the finest hotels.
Complete electrification makes the
California an engineering marvel
and a commercial success; it is
booked far in advance, a sister
ship has just been launched, and
another is under construction.
On sea or land, in every walk of
life, electricity is in the van
of progress. Undreamed of
yesterday, the electric ship is
a symbol of the electrical in­dustry's
