BEAT MIKE! THE PLAINSMAN TO FOSTER THE AUBURN SPIRIT BOOST BOOZER! VOLUME LI AUBURN, ALABAMA, FRIDAY, OCTOBER 14, 1927. NUMBER 6 TIGERS OFF TO MEET TIGER OF LOUISIANA IN MONTGOMERY p i n s BUILDS UP GOOD DEFENSIVE TEAM FOR FRAY New Style of Play is Taught Team OLD AUBURN MENTOR HAS CHARGE LOUISIANA TEAM Practically Same Lineup Will Start Game Following the resignation of David B. Morey, "Boozer" Pitts began a new system of coaching at the Fairest Village of the Plains. As a result of the first week of his teachings, a remarkable reserve force has been organized. And a much better defensive line-up has taken shape. Not many changes will be seen in the personnel of the squad, but a new style will be in vogue. The entire squad is pitched for the oncoming encounter with the former Tiger mentor's best eleven since he left Auburn. And a brighter day is looming for the Auburn Tigers if the breaks should fall in their direction. L. S. U. will present just about the strongest opposition that the South will see this season. Fresh from tieing the strong Alabama squad; the first time that Wade has failed to win a Southern Conference game in three years, Mason & Co. hope to put over an easy win. That is the way things may. look to them, but we don't judge the future by the past and Donahue will do well to look for the same type of opposition that he encountered last Saturday. Among the latest additions to the Varsity squad is diminutive Ed Peake, Pensacola flash. Peake has been a m scrub for the past two seasons, but has always been in the limelight due ft to his dashing runs and agility. No surprise if he should see a bit of service Saturday. Bolton Shotts, veteran fullback should be back in the lineup. His presence will add much to the defensive strength as he specializes in backing up the line. With Saturday being the first excused football day, quite a large attendance is expected at the fray. Remember that we are not in Auburn. Yell, and don't stop until the final whistle blows. If the fight spirit is shown, there is even greater glory in defeat than in victory. Let's take the true attitude towards the Pitts crew and back 'em to the limit. Band To Have Club Rooms Over Bank The plans for a club room for members of the Band have been under way for some time. Tht two rooms above the First National Bank have been chosen for the Club's location. For, with the back rooms occupied as living quarters for four members of the Band, the expense of maintaining the front one as a club room will be practically nothing. In a short time, the Band hopes to have these rooms furnished with every comfort their means will allow. The purpose of this enterprise is to provide amusement for members of the Band. Prof. Wyatt Heads Arch. Design Dept. According to a statement made by Professor F. C. Biggen, Dean of the Department of Architecture at Auburn, Professor Benjimen Kenneth Wyatt comes to us highly recommended by Professor Lorch of U. of Mich., Professors Curtis and Spratling of Tulane and Mr. Farrot in whose office he has been employed for four years. _. He has had five years of College training, three at Tulane and two at the University of Michigan. He takes Professor Osborne's place as head teacher of Architectural design, during Professor Osborne's absence this year. FRATERNITY ENTERTAINS WITH SMOKER Alpha Tau Omega Honors Pledges On Monday evening the pledges of the Alpha Tau Omega Fraternity entertained at a smoker in honor of two pledges from each of the other fraternities on the campus. The affair was the first of its kind to be given this season and proved to be a success in every way. Cigars, cfgarettes, and punch were served to the guests. Tables were set for bridge and many of the guests played during the evening Towards the end of the smoker, short speeches were made by the visitors and also by the A. T. 0. pledges. Guests for the occasion included: Kappa Alpha, Robert Dowling and Luke Brown; Kappa Sigma, Dick Jones and Jesse Adams; Phi Delta Theta, Eugene Deaton and Jeff Hudson; Phi Kappa Delta, Tom Brown and Sable Shanks; Theta Chi, L. W. Strauss and Harold Harmon; Theta Kappa Nu, H. C. Howard and G. W. Griffin; Sigma Nu, Bob McConnell and Drewry Foy; Sigma Pi, Owen Armstrong and William Barefield; Lambda Chi Alpha, Adolph Roemer and Alvin McConnell; Delta Sigma Phi, Jack Rhodes and Fred Montgomery; Sigma Alpha Epsilon, Kelly Sullivan and Claude Frazier; Pi Kappa Phi, Willie Cousins and Whitfield Herren; Alpha Lambda Tau, Roy Sellers and Dick Halloman; Beta Kappa, Hubbard .White and Paul Summerville; Sigma Phi Epsilon, Ben Dempsey and George Ragland; Sigma Theta, W. D. Jester and Charles Jager; Tau Omega Chi, Earl Fleming and Oran Kuykendall. GOLEMAN TRAVELS IN ITALY AND SPAIN Albert Sidney Golemon graduated from the Department of Architecture at the Alabama Polytechnic Institute in the year 1924, he went from there to the Massachusetts Institute of Technology where he received his Masters Degree in the summer of 1926. During the winter sessions of 1925-27 he served as an instructor in Architecture at Alabama Polytechnic Institute at Auburn. In the summer of 1927 he attended the Fontaineb-leau School of Fine Arts in Paris, France for further graduate work. Having finished his course of study there he is now traveling in Italy and Spain. Golemon expects to return to this country in the latter part of November. While a student at Auburn Golemon took the American Institute of Architectural Design prize and was also an associate member of the Alabama Chapter of the American Institute of Architects. ORR WILL ADDRESS ARCHITECTS HERE The Architectural Association had the pleasure of hearing Mr. Frank Orr, an Auburn graduate, at its meeting last Monday night. Mr. Orr, who was graduated in the class of '24, was in his senior year president of the Architectural Association, Art Editor of the Glomerata and also a colonel of the R. O^T. C. unit. He is a member of the Lambda Chi Alpha fraternity and Tau Beta Pi honorary fraternity, and is now employed as architectural engineer by Geo. P. Turner, a prominent architect of Birmingham. Mr. Orr spoke on "Acoustics," and was able to portray this subject compentently, having gained a thorough knowledge of the subject through his study at Asburn. His knowledge has been further advanced by his three years practical experience in the office. The lecture was of great interest and help to all interested in architecture. Dance Is Feature Of Homecoming Celebration Here Music Furnished By Max Jones' Orchestra The A Club Dance which was given in the gymnasium last Saturday was: a very delightful affair to all those who attended. It was a part of the program planned for Homecoming to renew old times at Auburn and give the ones who had never attended an Auburn dance a sample of how good they are. A few of the grils who attended the dances were: Misses Le-nora Woodall, Elizabeth Pharr, Annie Mae Hyatt and Dorothy Kilgore from Columbus, Georgia; Misses Rosalind Jones, Katherine Smith, Kathleen Pope and Ruth Drisbauch, from Birmingham. The music was furnished by Max Jones, a director of a popular jazz orchestra of Boston, Mass., and his orchestra of seven other Auburn students. This orchest ra will probably furnish music for the A Club dances that are to follow. After the dances came to' a close, Charley Dudley, Auburn's gone but not forgotten Cheer Leader, led the crowd in a few hearty yells which told our visitors that the old Auburn Spirit is still alive. Kangaroo Court At B'ham-Sou. Victims and likely victims may rejoice for no more is the law of the lash and the -mask, at least in academic circles at Birmingham-Sonth-ern college. The faculty held up a light so that upperclassmen might read the handwriting on the wall and consequently, a new era is beginning at Hilltop, no more will pleasure bent collegiates roam the halls of the dormitories in the wee hours scaring the green freshmen pink. The mask of darkness is laid aside and a tribunal has been set up in the manner of a "Kangaroo Court" and nightly are the guilty hauled before a magistrate and jury. Defending and prosecuting attorneys are appointed and justice takes its course. Until this year, however, uneasy were the pajama trunks belonging to freshmen- Under the oaken persuader, tender skins were wrought into multi-colored patterns. > Beginners lived in constant awe of the tap, tap, tap that might beat into their dreams of better things at any midnight. The judge, jury and attorneys in the new court are selected for their sense of humor, and ingenuity. It seems, freshmen say, that only the guilty are brought before the court, for as yet none have been truned away without proper attention. The court differs slightly from the Supreme Court in that no records are kept and precedent is disregarded. Individual problems present themselves in each case, one judge said, and they are treated accordingly. BAND SHOW TO BE PRESENTED TO RAISE FUNDS Many Talented Artists Will Take Part In Program Get ready for something new and unusuaj in the way of entertainment. The Auburn band is planning to present a show in the very near future. A varied program of vaudeville, black-face, music and minstrel is being planned by members of the band who are in charge of the show. The Glee Club, Mandolin Club, the Dramatic Club, the Orchestra and other individuals experienced in that line will also attribute to the attraction. The main purpose of the show is to raise money by means of which new equipment might be purchased for the band and at the same time offer to the student body a bit of really worth-while entertainment. Due to the enlargement of the band in the last two years, fifteen new uniforms are needed. Quite a number of the old capes need altering and lining. The show, which is under the personal direction of P. R. Bidez, promises to be one of the best of the year. Tickets will be on sale at one dollar each. DR. PETRIE IN AUTO ACCIDENT FRIDAY Dean Petrie is suffering from minor cuts about the head as a result of an accident on Friday. Dean received injuries about the face when the car he was driving was hit by a Lincoln whose driver was blinded by the sun. The windshield of Dr. Petrie's car was shattered as it was knocked against the guy wire of a telephone pole. He narrowly escaped death when his new fall hat was literally cut from his head, however he escaped with a small cut on the nose and head. With the exception of the windshield the automobiles received no serious damage. When asked concerning the accident he exclaimed, "Here I am with my nose sewed up, my head plastered and thankful that I am not in a warmer clime." LAMPS TAKE IN THREE SENIOR GIRLS 0F_ MERIT Local Honor Society Initiates New Members V On Sunday, October 9, initiation into the Lamps Senior Women's Honorary was held. Three popular Seniors, Catherine Hare, porothy Taylor and Beth Seibold, were the girls on whom this honor was bestow-sd this year. Sunday morning a delightful breakfast was given at the College Cafe in honor of the new meriibers. Miss Emily Hare, an Auburn alumnus and "one of the charter members of Lamps, presided over the initiation ceremonies, and was hostess at the breakfast. Lamps is a local society, to which not more than five of the most outstanding Senior girls are elected annually. It was founded in 1923 by Emily Hare, Elizabeth Fullan, Elizabeth Collins, Georgia Thomas, and Leila Jordan, under the direction and supervision of Miss Zoe Dobbs. It is without doubt a most worthy organization, having for its standards, loyalty, ability, magnanimity, personality, and scholarship. Lamps seems already to have exerted a very good influence upon the school by inspiring the girl students to do their best at all times, in ord.n-that they may merit election to this society when they become Seniors. Co-ed Enrollment Shows Steady Gain Over Other Years Majority of Girls Take Home Economics For the past five years, the enro i-ment of the co-eds has shown a steady increase each year. The fall registration showed the largest enrollment of Co-eds in the history of the Alabama Polytechnic Institute, according to statement made-by Miss Zoe Dobbs. The majority of the Co-eds are enrolled in Home Economics, while there have been three registered in art, five in Pre-Medical, including the Moore twins from Opelika, and one in Chemical Engineering and one in the School of Pharmacy. Last year one of the fair members of the institution ventured forth into the field of Veterinary Medicine, and to date her sister Co-eds have failed to display like taste in choice of their courses. This year for the first time, Physical Education is being offered to the Co-eds. This department is headed by Misses Lula Palmer and Irene Brown. Miss Palmer is to be head of the Nursery School as the "baby house" opens. Miss Palmer holds a master degree from Columbia University. Miss Brown holds, a degree from Baylor University. i i Breezy" Bauer Visits Auburn "Breezy" Bauer, a .student at the University of Colorado and a member of the Sigma Nu Fraternity there came to Auburn last Thursday afternoon. He soon found fraternity brothers here and was welcomed by them. Carl F. Bauer told of his plans for traveling around the world, playing on his guitar and singing to pay expenses. He expects the trip to take two or three years or longer. Bauer will visit the southern states and then go north before leaving for Europe, stopping in each city as long as he pleases. "I have viewed life from the standpoint of an idler, a worker, a student and have often wondered what the outlook was of a tramp or a wanderer with apparently no definite purpose in view," he said. It was with this desire that he set out on his trip around the world with only two cents for his expenses. His wardrobe consisted only of a few articles of clothing, his diary, and his guitar. Bauer was a visitor in Auburn over the week end and furnished much enjoyable entertainment with his one-piece orchestra. STUDENTS GO BEFORE BOARD TRUSTEES; PRESENT CHARGES STUDENTS ARE BEHIND TEAM WITH OLD PEP Old Cheer Leaders Address Mass Meeting Some semblance of the old-time Auburn Spirit was evident last night in Langdon hall at the mass meeting. Although the fair in Opelika depleted the ranks of the rooters, a good crowd was present. Coach Pitts spoke to the students for the first time since becoming head coach. He spoke as an Auburn man, to Auburn men, asking them to support the team and to remember their heritage as Auburn men. Coach Boozer was given a hearty ovation by the student body, and was closely attended in his talk. Bill Wood '24, and Charlie Dudley, two old cheer leaders, spoke, and pled that the students stand behind the team to the last ditch. They recited the accomplishments of the Auburn of old, and declared that the old spirit was not dead. Both men led several yells, and it seemed that the spirit was not dead indeed, when the old cheers boomed out across the campus. Mr. J. V. Brown newly appointed Athletic Director, spoke briefly at the meeting. Declaring that he was proud of the scars which he bore from Auburn football games, he asked the men to fall in behind the new regime on the gridiron and help to make the remainder of the season successful. BOARD MEETS TO INVESTIGATE SITUATION HERE Students Claim Dowell Unfit for Job FIGURES PRESENTED TO PROVE THE CONTENTION Many Grievances Brought To Board Y. W.C.A. Hut Has Interesting History As Old Landmark on Auburn Campus Building Was First Used As Church Several accounts of the little «red church, which is located on the corner of the college campus and now serves the two fold purpose of Little Theatre and Y. W. C. A. meeting place, show that the little structure has passed through a number of stages, in reference to its use since it was constructed. In 1850 one Edwin Reese, a mem ber of one of the first families to live in Auburn, set his slaves to work burning lime" to make brick for the purpose of constructing a Presbyterian church in his community. This man prepared on his plantation all the materials necessary for the financial aid in completing the church. According to Mrs. W. ,B. Fraser, who is tohe oldest living citizen of Auburn, Mr. F. M. Reese, her father donated $1000.00 to the fund which was raised entirely by the Ree,se family. The lot was donated to the congregation by John Harper, who founded the town of Auburn. In 1852 the first communion ser-vice was held in the church by Anna Reese, the mother of Edwin Reese. An interesting fact to those who, would preserve the memories of the past is that the tankard and goblets used in that service and donated by the Reese family to the church have been handed back to that family and are now in the possession of Mary Helen Fraser of Opelika who is the great-great- great grand daughter of Anna Reese. A number of pastors of note have given sermons in this little church. The father of Dean Petrie of our college, a well-known man of letters, preached there- several years. Dr. R. L. Dabney, chief of staff for "Stonewall" Jackson, and professor of Theology in the University of Texas at Austin preached his last sermon in the little church two weeks before his death. Other prominent ministers of this church were: Dr. Cunningham of the state of Georgia and Dr. Foster, who was head of the Presbyterian Orphanage located at Tuskegee. This building continued to be the location of the Presbyterian church (Continued on Page 8) FORMER PUPIL OF DONAHUE TO BE HEAD COACH Assistants New Not Changed Head Coach by Immediately after accepting Coach Morey's resignation, Dr. Dowell announced that Mr. John E. Pitts would be head coach and Mr. J. V. Brown, director of athletics. Coach V'pts took charge of the team Monday afternoon, and will direct the team for the rest of the season. For a time there were quite a few rumors flying around as to who would be appointed head coach and Director of Athletics, but the question has been definitely settled by Dd. Dowell. J. V. Brown as director of athletics will be in full charge of the business end of the various sports while "Boozer" Pitts as head coach will be in charge of the actual training of the men. In addition to his work on the field "Boozer" is an assistant professor in mathematics which he declares to be a decided asset to his coaching for it puts him in a closer touch with the student body and gives him a better opportunity to see the students point of view in any question which might arise. Pitts himself an old A.P. I. man having come to Auburn nineteen years ago as a lowly "rat." He made his letter and was chosen as all southern center before he graduated. With the proper cooperation of the student body and playei-s Pitts should develop a winning combination here at Auburn and it is the duty of every true Auburn man to see that he gets his cooperation for without it he will be helpless. ALABAMA FARMER FEATURES PHOTOS Featuring pictures from all parts of the state (the first issue of the Alabama Farmer for 1927-28 came off the press last week. Fifteen of the agricultural students are authors contributing the majority of the material to this issue. Many subjects of interest to" the farmers of the state and the south are very ably discussed. This magazine is now a member of Am. Assn. of Agric. Col. Magazines. By LEROY SIMMS City Editor Birmingham Poat Members of the student committee which went before Gov. Bibb Graves in Montgomery early in the week to ask him to call the special meeting of the board of trustees here today, went before the board today and gave their reasons for requesting that Dr. Spright Dowell be removed as president of the college. After a conference of nearly two hours from which students and newspapermen present were barred, Lawrence Whiten, editor of the Glomerata and president of the inter-fraternity council went before .the board and told its members of actions by the student body in the present agitation. In brief, Whiten said that it was the belief of the student body that present conditions could not be remedied as long as Dr. Dowell is president of the school. "We know that students are not working and that the situation here is the chief topic of conversation on the campus." he said in answer to questions from members of the board. Whiten also told the board that it was his private opinion that if a secret ballot were taken of the deans of \ the college here that a majority of them would vote for Dowell's removal. When asked the direct question, "What do you think should be done to remedy the present situation?" Whiten replied that he thought the president should be removed. Frank Malone, president of the Blue Keys honor society told the board that the students realized that there was some major defect in the administration of the school. As one proof of this, he offered the fact "that this year's freshman class is nearly 18 percent smaller than last year's and that the total enrollment is smaller than the previous year's for the first time in many years. Victor H. Hanson, publisher of The Birmingham News and Age- Herald and The Montgomery Advertiser, gave the following enrollment figures for the information of the board, after Malone had told of the drop in Freshman enrollment. They are: 1920, 1,195; 1921, 1,269; 1922, 1,- 433; 1923, 1,469; 1924, 1,538; 1925, 1,550; 1926, 1,580; 1927, 1,643. Malone then referred to Dr. Dowell's alleged failure to attend student mass meetings and athletic events, saying that his weakened physical condition made it impossible for him to keep the close personal contact necessary to keep the student body's respect for the head of the institution. (Continued on Page 6.) GOOD RECOVERS FROM OPERATION Henry Good, professor of entomology and zoology, resumed his duties on Ag Hill last week after a two-week's vacatiNk at St. Margaret's Hospital, Montgomery. Professor Good was rushed to the hospital September fifteenth for an operation for appendicitis. The operation was very successful as he was absent from the village only ten days. Professors Robinson, Guyton and Arant, of the Zoology and Entomology Department carried on the work of Prof. Good while he was confined to the hospital.

A drop of the mercury has also appreciably added to our ex-huberative mood. In the face of all difficulties, A. P. I. continues to "carry on." "Strong winds make a kite sail higher"—isn't that correct? Auburn is receiving a vast amount of publicity these weeks. Manipulations are set forth in practically every Alabama Daily. In one instance, bold streamer headlines led the article, Mike Donahue has commented favorably on the amiability of Boozer Pitts as Auburn's head coach. We're all behind you, Coach Pitts. In their shirt-tail parade last week, the Rats were accused of being Kluckers. Well, that's going some; who can't distinguish between a jiude College Rat and a robed Klansman? We might label their fracas, "The Big Parade Revised." Red Arant walked to class with Miss McNeil recently. A Rat was overheard talking to another rodent thus: "I'd like to go to college where they enter as Sophomores." "Boy, that would be the onions," came as an answer. The Bengals meet Auburn's former Grid master Saturday. The outcome will also be interesting. The visiting ladies were well pleased with the Sophomore Hop. We are trying to be sociable by hoping they will come again. Next week will bring new issues—new food for thought in terse terms. MISUNDERSTANDING We are often misunderstood and we often misunderstand others. Misunderstanding breeds disco'-'. d hatred, and often causes one 'he should not. Only last >'eek evetj • in Auburn was • "•. by '•' -at had been written ••••'.•• i-at to his father, because h<- misunderstood. "I wrote that letter after I iiad been in Auburn only two weeks," the rat said, when interviewed Sunday evening. "I had the wrong impression of Auburn then. I had met with difficulties here, and had seen only the bad side of things. I had heard many things that had caused me to form the wrong opinion of the college. But before that letter had been published in The Plainsman I had changed my mind about Auburn." The rat had been led to believe certain things detrimental to himself and his chosen college by certain upperclassmen. He continued, "I had seen that it was only a few individuals who carried on that which I so much abhorred. I had seen that the student body as a whole was considerate of my views and willing to help me in every way possible. I had started loving Auburn more each day. Then the inevitable came. Students who knew me, suspi-cioned me at once. They would start conversations in my presence about the letter to see what would be my reactions. I have said nothing. I.am planning to leave Monday, because I do not feel that I can make sufficient amends." We are certain that this rat has seen a better side of student life and urge him to continue his studies here and become a loyal Auburn man.^Jt was only through misunderstanding that he adopted his first erroneous conclusion. MARKS AND REMARKS Someone has asked, where is the Auburn Spirit? This person lived away from the village and had not witnessed any of the demonstrations that have taken place recently. We who have been here and have seen for ourselves some of the things that have been carried on in the name of spirit ask ourselves what has the Auburn Spirit evolved into? We refer to the action of^a number of new men who have departed from tradition and have let their enthusiasm run riot to such an extent that their actions have proved destructive. There are times in one's college career when our hearts beat high and our jubil-ancy is at high tide, but these are seldom occurances. It is well to be careful that the wave of enthusiasm does not sweep us off our feet and send us headlong into the arms of the dreaded undertow of mob rule. The great bonfire that consumed quantities of debris on the night prior to the Florida game also destroyed one of the fine oak trees near the main gate. Timr alone can replace what was laid waste in one evening. The trees are one of the chief adornments of College Street. Their beauty has been preserved with care for us. Do we not consider posterity? Certain ill bred rhodents are accustomed to meet the trains and make themselves objectionable. We are aware of the fact that there are many students who have never seen many trains. It is unnecessary, however, for those students to appropriate railroad equipment and express themselves collegiately. The wanton destruction' and wilful accumulation of property that is useless to anyone but the owners is a senseless practice. Such thoughtlessness on the part'of a few is liable to jeopardize the good name of our college. Any organization may be judged by the individuals within its bounds. Let us denounce any practice that is detrimental to us individually or collectively for is it not our duty to hold the good name of Auburn above reproach? FIRST ORATION OF CICERO II VS. THE IDEAL When, O Ideal do you mean to cease abusing our shirts? How long is that infernal machine of yours still to rend our B. V. D.'s? When is there to be an end of that sock-destroying rampage of yours, impoverishing us as it does now? Do you feel that your depredations are noticed? Do you not see that your "Reign of Tearing" is already resented by your fifteen hundred patrons? What is it that you lost last night, tore the night before, whose shirts were wrinkled, whose pajamas shrunk, with which you think, that any one of us is unacquainted. Shame on the washing machine and its destructive habits! The senior class is aware of these things; the sophomores see them; and yet the Ideal thrives. Thrives! aye, it stands even on the main street. It is watching and marking down and checking off for destruction every new shirt that appears on the campus. And we, gallant students that we are, think that we are doing our duty to our Alma Mater when we feed the monster our best hankies. You ought, O Ideal, long ago to have been led to mend your ways and our torn shirts. That destruction which you have long been plotting for our Sunday pants ought to have already fallen on your careless self. What? Have not many other pests been cast out, though causing but little trouble on the campus? And shall we, fastidious College Men, tolerate the Ideal, openly desirous to destroy all our sheets and pillow cases with holes and iron burns? There was—there was once such virtue on this campus that brave students would demand at least one-half their towels back on Saturday night. For we have a feeling in the student body against you, a deep resentment of the wrongs done our silk hankies,' O Ideal; the nightshirts of the juniors are not at fault, nor the counterpanes of the freshmen. We, we alone—I say it openly —we,- the students, are wanting our laundry done better and more of it returned. How long, O Ideal, how long? WHY NOT A GLEE CLUB? It is with hesitancy that we mention a buried issue but we do want to know what has become of the glee club. It is true that there have been difficulties to overcome but now it seems that these will be smoothed out. We are aware that there has been no competent accompanist available but should the lack of one prevent the entire organization from functioning? With pleasure we learn of the-loss of the old music. This has detained action somewhat but should that deprive our songsters of a means of expression? Although the loss is of a material one we are thankful that the old selections have passed into the discard. There seems to be a great amount of talent available that is of merit. To neglect using this means that patrons of the club will be deprived of a great amount of pleasure. The mandolin club is fast coming into its own and the new orchestra is in process of development. When these organizations are supplimented by the songbirds the whole will prove to be a pleasing and varied ensemble of entertainers. It is sincerely hoped that some action will be taken towards the development of a glee club this year. THE BAND ASKS SUPPORT During the past two years, the Auburn Band, now entering its thirty first year, has increased in numbers and it is now necessary to purchase fifteen new uniforms. The capes of the old uniforms must be relined and retailored. Some of the members of the band have been deprived of several trips because of the lack of proper equipment. Conditions heve existed- for some time which must be corrected immediately. Tb musicians have already been measured ind the uniforms ordered. The band will present a musical and vaudeville show in order to raise the necessary funds.' Aside from the band the assistance of the dramatic, mandolin and glee clubs is assured in making a production, the like of which has never been presented here. Many of the campus organizations have voiced their approval of the plan. Students are asked to help the band which has been a source of pride for many years. Tickets will be on sale in several weeks. Will you cooperate? Auburn Footprints Apparently Max Kahn has not abandoned his reckless ways. Judging from the way a little bit of powder affected his face the other day, we would say that he has never had much to do - around a powder plant. Too, he seemed to be attempting to get the best of some of the other fellows when he forgot all about caution. Maybe, however, he was only getting ready to perform some clown act somewhere with a one-horse vaudeville show. We would suggest that go to an expert rather than to try the job himself. Red-headed boys and women. What a combination for one to write home about. Red Smith has proved beyond a doubt that he is no ladies' man; however, "Greasy" Oyler shame-facedly admits that he has fallen under the bewitching eyes of a fair damsel who recites her family history to prove that foolishness and vanity are a thing of the past. Guess who she is? Watch for an announcement at an early date. Woman's College has added another victim to her ever mounting list. We are sorry to see another good man go wrong, especially this one, for he happens to be our own Jim from Rome, Ga. We are trying to persuade him to let us in on the secret. Locke Cameron is the latest man in Auburn to take up the study of animals. Last Sunday while taking a sun bath in front of the dormitory, he espied four small squirrels cavorting around in a tree. After carefully observing them for several minutes, he came to the conclusion that there were at least at least six squirrels on the campus. We wonder if he came to* this decision inductively or reductively. After observing the plastic patches on the Dean's face, we couldn't decide whether the Dean was attempting Barney's nose operation or- had fallen off the flagpole back of the Main Building. ('Dean, we are sorry to hear that you were unfortunate enough to have even a slight accident and hope that you are speedily recovering). The only thing that the mosquitoes in Auburn are good for has been discovered. "Dad-gummit" Pearce was sleeping in A. S. C. E. last Monday night when a husky mosquito saw he was missing all of the program. Acting in a very constructive manner, he proceeded to arouse the man with sleeping sickness. .All things being equal, we are darn glad that this is the end.

Auburn has given me much and I shall always watch and love her. With kindest wishes I am gratefully yours, (signed) David B. Morey LUIGI PIRANDELLO'S "SHOOT" Shoot by Luigi Pirandello is a moving picture story. The characters are all connected in one way or another with a movie studio at Rome. The story begins with the arrival of Signor Gubbio who becomes a photographer and is therefore called Shoot. He soon finds that one of the stars is Varia Nestoroff wha has driven his best friend to suicide and wrecked the happiness qf his friend's sister by stealing her lover. She now has another lover Carlo ' Ferro but Aldo Nuti for whom she deserted Gulbio's friend has come to join the company. Nestoroff and Ferro are to take part in a film to include a fight with a real tigor. Nuti, however, is finally substituted for Ferro as the tiger killer. When the scene is produced, Nuti shoots Nestoroff and allows the tiger to kill him. Shoot, who turns the handle of the camera recording the ghastly scene is so shocked that he loses his power of speech. Strange to say, Shoot is rather proud of his share in this story of the lady and the tiger. The tiger woman is punished who killed his friend, Giogio's sister. In his speechlessness, Shoot gloats over his passivity as his friends try to tease him into speech again. Signorina Luisetta whom he could and perhaps did love, but who had been more attentive recently to Nuti, shows her sympathetic attention, but in vain. Shoot has too much pride to take advantage of her sympathy. However, he is very proud of his situation having been assured Income, friends, attention, admiration, in the midst of which his aloofness is collosal As the story comes to us through Shoot's diary, we see everything through the color of his prejudice and sensitiveness. As he has more sympathy for the tiger than h has for Nestoroff, we cannot be sure thai we get the truth about the woman who des ' roys all the men whdm she attracts. How-over, he expresses truthfully the author's complaint about our age, the machine age. Moving pictures showing a life are destroying the legitimate drama. Shoot feels disgusted because he does nothing but turn the handle. All the actors look down upon him for the same reason.

Man's superiority over the animals lies in the fact, says Shoot, that man must have an artificial world, art, literature, imagination and faith in a life hereafter, into which he can project himself. Man's superiority lies in the fact that he troubles himself with problems that he can not solve. In other words, in our machine age, in which no man has anything to do but tend the machine, one has no time for the very activities that make him a man. There is one satiric fling in the book at slavery to machines in America, where art and religion are supposed to be at low ebb. From one point of view, the story is the tragedy of a man whose ideals are not realizable and whose capacity for great experience is limited. The same condemnation of machine industry is presented in Hudson's Crystal Age and in Butler's Ereivhon but we do not suspect that the authors have the inferiority complex. Some one said recently that Pirandello sees life unsteadily and sees it double. He is at heart romantic but feels the necessity of being modern and realistic. He is bewildered by life, the doubts that torture, the negation of desire. The past seems beautiful as it recedes, the present towdry; something was certain to our fathers, nothing to us. This is the cry which we hear often now, as if there were no choice between being a brute and taking what we want and being one who complains because one cannot get what one wants. The book will please those who have the habit, like Signor Gubbio , of observing people and suspecting that they are always groping for the certainty in which alone man can find rest. Tht story is romantic, brief and closes with a bang. It turns out too well, in fact, for all of the wicked get punished sufficiently. The book shows that Pirandello has a heart but that he is hardly in possession of his own soul. It will, however, if read with care, provoke thought that will give value to things worth while.

Could not an athletic fee of five or six dollars be charged and each student be permitted to see, without further charge, every game on the campus? This plan works well at Alabama and other colleges. Had you not rather give five dollars for a good pair of shoes than three for an empty box! That's the question exactly." Today we are enjoying the fruits of this movement; we are face to face in actual reality with the very plan this student set forth. Do we appreciate and honor this privilege as we should? Are we faithful to the ideals this student had in mind when he advocated this move? Let's remember that others suffered—in a measure—that we might attain this advantage. We have been entrusted with the benefits of it, let's be very careful not to trample them in the dust. * * * * * Last Saturday morning the first regimental review and inspection of the corps of cadets took place.

W. A. (Bill) Young had charge of the program, and of course everything went off in fine style. Miss Evelyn Smith of Camp Hill, sang several beautiful songs, accompanied by Mrs. Mary Askew, which were greatly enjoyed by the club. A new feature of the club was inaugurated Monday. Henceforward, some lion will be discussed by another member each week; as to his peculiarities, accomplishments, hobbies, etc., until every member has been discussed. This should prove unusually interesting because of the characters oi the club roster, who are professors, extension workers, bankers, merchants, doctors, and men interested in other phases of life. The first man discussed was Emmitt "Unk" Sizemore. Professor W. D. Salmon "raked Unk over jthe coals", as the expression goes. Snort talks by Director J. V. Brown, and Land Lipscomb were enthusiastically received. C. H. Beddingfield, a new club member was initiated. Prof. Chas Snook was guest of the club. The different projects before the club, of which, "Sanitation around Auburn" was the principal one, were discussed, and it was decided to follow the program decided upon last year for the ensuing year. No more business coming up, President J. E. Ivey declared the meeting adjourned. ' Critics of Bond Issue For Schools Answered expenditure and philanthropic dona? tions; that Alabama's educational expenditure per pupil enrolled is only about one-third the nations average and that this state's investment in school property per pupil enrolled is little more than one-third the national average—only three states being lower on the list. The national average is $154 per pupil enrolled, while Alabama's is $54. The largest appropriations for education make the construction of adequate buildings for schools essential for increased efficiency. "Mr. Mallory says that the $4,100,- 000 appropriated by the recent legislature for the erection and improvement of buildings at the higher institutions of learning during the next four years will be paid to these institutions 'put of . current revenues whether the bond issue passes or not.' Exactly the opposite is true. If the bond amendment is ratified by the voters, these direct appropriations will be voided by the terms of the act of the legislature making these appropriations. "The plea that the adoption of the amendment will increase taxes is not The Campaign Committee for the ratification of the amendment proposing a bond issue of $20,000,000 for school buildings has protested against efforts made by opponents of the measure to inject factional politics j ' , into the campaign. Dr. R. E.

His letters and articles in reference to the $20,000,- 000 bond issue for permanent educational buildings abound in erroneous statements and illogical conclusions. "In the article published last week in the Selma Times-Journal and other newspapers, Mr. Mallory says that a sum in excess of $101,000,000 will be available for education during the next four years, in addition to the bond issue of $20,000,000.

The value of property within the state is growing rapidly, due to the influx of. new capital, expanding industries, public improvements and many other influences that are at work in stat) and nation. And the amendment ?x pressly provides that 'nothing herein shall be construed as in anywise authorizing any increase in the rate of taxation now provided for by the Constitution^of Alabama.' "The fear expressed by Mr. Mallory and others that some great surplus will arise as the result of the in- j crease in license and franchise taxes and other forms of taxation can best be allayed by authorizing and issuing the proposed school building bonds. Then, if the predicted surplus appears, the excess of money above the state's annual requirements can be used to retire the school bonds and save the interest thereon.

This is the result of a survey made at the fraternity houses. The census taken shows that the "ideal" house mother must be a "good scout and able to understand and put up with all the swear words," as a paramount requirement. These qualifications were listed by seven fraternity houses questioned on the subject. Denver university fraternity men are. bitter in their attack on any edict pertaining to house mothers. They decidely. combat the edict passed by the dean^of men at the University of Southern California, that makes the installation of a house mother a definite requirement, considering this a "distinctly personal matter."

U. in Cramton Bowl SPORTS FLORIDA 'GATORS WIN OVER AUBURN TIGERS; SCORE 33-6 Completely upsetting the dope, the Gators from the University of Florida ran roughshod over the Tigers from the Plains of Auburn here last ^Saturday. It was the third defeat in as many starts for the Tigers. The final score was 33-6, the lone Auburn score coming in the fourth quarter as a result of a series of short passes when Taylor went around left end on a triple pass. Lineups: Florida—Dehoff, W., left"end; De-hoff, D., left tackle; Allen, left guard; Kirchner, center; Reeves, right guard; Clemmons, right tackle; Stanley, right end; Bowyer, quarterback; Brumbaugh, right half; Bishop, left half; Middlekauf, (captain), fullback. Auburn—Burns, left end; Carter, left tackle; Andre.ss, left guard; Patterson (captain), center; Howard, right guard; Turner, right tackle; Florida Freshmen Trounce Auburn Rats in 12-7 Game While the University of Florida varsity was in the village of the plains administering a defeat to the Auburn varsity; the f rosh team of the Gators was busy handing out a defeat to the Auburn rat team in Gainesville, the final score being 12-7. The Baby Gators first touchdown came in the first quarter After Auburn had held them for downs near the goal line. But on the last down the play was called back and Auburn penalized five yards for offside, giving the Florida rats first down. They proceeded to make the most of it and went over for a touchdown. Their second touchdown came in the third quarter by a pass, after they had covered an Auburn fumble. It is significant to note that both Florida touchdowns came when they had th« wind with them. The lone Auburn tally came on a beautiful play. Chambless, star quarter for the rats, received a punt on about his 40-yard line. As soon as he started to run, not a single Florida man could be seen on his feet. Every man on the Auburn team got a man, and one player got two. Chambless tore down the field for the sixty yards seperating him from the goal line, and finally crossed it. Brown came back from right end and place kicked the extra point, the ball going right through the middle of the crossbars In practice lately this Rat Brown is beginning to look like another Clabber Williams, for his educated toe seldom fails to send the ball soaring through the uprights. Fumbling among the Auburn backs was very noticeable as in the Howard game, and it hurt a great deal. Running plays were usually stopped by the Auburn line. Taylor played a great game in the line, as did Dread-en, Christopher and Harkins. Wingo stood out for the Auburn backfield on defense, playing a brilliant game. In fact, the whole team performed well. The blocking and tackling were good, and the punting fair. Except for the fumbles, the team played mighty good. For Florida Bethea gave our rats more trouble than any other Florida man. He was hard to stop. Florida had about fifty men in her squad, and as the day was exceedingly hot, she played just about the whole squad. Newton, the plunging full of the rodent team, had an elbow wrenched and his services will probably be lost to the team for two or three weeks. Harkins suffered a minor injury, but will be in shape for the next game. Dreaden was injured the first of the week in practice, but will probably not be out very long. McClesky and Winn have also been lost to the squad as they did not have a sufficient number of credits to permit them playing. - • \ The lineup for the Florida game was: Bearden, L. E,; Jacobs, L.

These four successive stands by Georgia have never before been equaled in the history of the Yale bowl. They went from their own 25-yard line deep into the Georgia territory.

DAVID B Three years ago, a man, unknown; except as a football coach came to Auburn from the North-east. After the first few years of experience an'" companionship with the man; we have learned that coaching is only one of his many fine trades. Without a doubt, "King David" Morey is one of the whitest, cleanest and loyal of men! Under the impression, that he was hindering the progress of Auburn, he resigned his post for the good of dear old Auburn. Morey was then giving up his bread and butter; he was being paid on a par with our President. Fellows, we have lost our best friend! Despite the fact that he has resigned, he has offered his services until some one is procured to assume his former position. That is only a . MOREY small part of his sacrifice. There Are many of our present football players remaining only because he asked them not to follow him; and to cap the climax—two other coaches remained only because he told them they owed their services to Auburn. That gentlemen, is the breed of the man about to bid us adieu! Can we easily lost such a man? Can we find another like hfm, to take his place? Coach Morey, in behalf of the entire student body, we wish you the best of luck in future years. May ybu always obtain better co-operation in future years than you have in the past! Try to remember us as friends only; as we do you and your dear wife. Our last wish is a. simple one; that every one in this College were as true as you and had the guts you do! The Students Pennenheimer was the chief ground gainer for A. and M. Many times he made beautiful runs around end for substantial gains. He is a man that is hard to stop, and is always dreaded by the opponents. The main punter for Mississippi was Shadwick, who kicked goal for extra point after each touchdown. A. and M., who has a new coaching staff this year, has started off the season strong, and all indications point in the direction that they will have a successful season on the gridiron. The Auburn Tigers meet this team in Birmingham on November 12th. TECH VS. TULANE Georgia Tech beat Tulane by the small score of 13 to 6 in a hard fought game in Atlanta last week.

The line is composed of husky men each capable of doing his part to the fullest extent. The Backfieldmen are still unable to hold the ball as was the case in the Florida game. Blocking and tackling has greatly improved. The boys are all set to throw a scare in the Tulane Camp October twenty-second. The Auburn Rats will be composed of about the same sqad that made the trip to the University of Florida last week. There has been some misfortune in Camp.

McClesky and Winn did not have a sufficient number of credits to permit them to continue Rat Football. between Banker and Pizzano of the Greenies, and Thomason and Mizell of the Golden Tornado. Banker, the 175 pound blond of the Grenies, was T. N. T. to the Tech players. In the second quarter he grabbed the ball and ran 93 yards for the lone touchdown for the Wave. He had the speed and fight that is needed by any real player, and was always on the job, as the Jackets found out. Pizzano played almost as good game as Banker, for they both stopped Tech backs when they were headed for touchdowns. The Yellow Jackets scored first, the touchdown being made in the first quarter. They marched the ball down the field to the three yard line, where Thomason went over for the touchdown, and then kicked goal for the extra point Thomason, who is a Soph., is one of Tech's most dependable backs. In the second period Banker ran through the whole Tech team, and made the score for Tulane, but failed to kick goal. The last touchdown of the game was made when Thomason went almost to the goal on the first play of the last quarter. Randolph went over for the remaining yard. Ford, an end, stood out in making tackles for the Greenies, while Men-ville, Tulane halfback, did his share in making yardage for his teammates. V THE PLAINSMAN Pag• 5.

''Agriculture has become commer-i. zed and specialized and this ins that the main problem of ag r'culture is not so much production as it is production per man hour," Mr. Davis said. He continued, "as ng as the one mule and man system is used there is going to be a higr jjst per man hour of production. '•Profitable yields and large machinery work parallel, therefore the economical farmers of the future are the farmers that are going to be producing with the more modern machinery," he said. Mr. Davis said there is no magic way to solve the problem of over production and that he doubted if there was any legislative method of solv ing it. More bills are being prepared pertaining to the agricultural stabilization for the next congress. The Grange proposal, the McNary-Haugen bill and the Jardine proposal are three of the most outstanding at the present time...

"A political machine is running this institution and is holding it back," he said. "What steps would you suggest, Mr. Parker," Col. O. R. Hood, a member of the board asked. "I think you ought to start at the top and clean them all out as far as is necessary," he answered. Deans of the colleges were to be called before the board this afternoon. They will be asked to tell the board of trustees their stand in the matter. All of the members of the board were present with the exception of Dr. W. H. Oates. Those present were: Gov. Graves, R. E.

Welch, head of State Health Department stated that Alabama is a most healthful place to live because many of the dreadful diseases of a few years ago are now completely under control of health officers. Dr. Spright Dowell, President of Auburn, introduced the speaker by stating that Dr. Weldr-is now presi-aviator was, however, not bothered by a fog, but got off on the wrong railroad track, and went to Americus, Georgia. There he realized that he had followed the Seaboard line, instead of the Western of Alabama. He turned around at Americus and started back to Auburn, arriving here about five o'clock Saturday afternoon. Knowing that the' game was over, but wishing to see the Florida team anyway, tried landing on the Auburn golf links. In landing, he accosted a ditch and completely demolished his running gear.

OCR Transcript | BEAT MIKE! THE PLAINSMAN TO FOSTER THE AUBURN SPIRIT BOOST BOOZER! VOLUME LI AUBURN, ALABAMA, FRIDAY, OCTOBER 14, 1927. NUMBER 6 TIGERS OFF TO MEET TIGER OF LOUISIANA IN MONTGOMERY p i n s BUILDS UP GOOD DEFENSIVE TEAM FOR FRAY New Style of Play is Taught Team OLD AUBURN MENTOR HAS CHARGE LOUISIANA TEAM Practically Same Lineup Will Start Game Following the resignation of David B. Morey, "Boozer" Pitts began a new system of coaching at the Fairest Village of the Plains. As a result of the first week of his teachings, a remarkable reserve force has been organized. And a much better defensive line-up has taken shape. Not many changes will be seen in the personnel of the squad, but a new style will be in vogue. The entire squad is pitched for the oncoming encounter with the former Tiger mentor's best eleven since he left Auburn. And a brighter day is looming for the Auburn Tigers if the breaks should fall in their direction. L. S. U. will present just about the strongest opposition that the South will see this season. Fresh from tieing the strong Alabama squad; the first time that Wade has failed to win a Southern Conference game in three years, Mason & Co. hope to put over an easy win. That is the way things may. look to them, but we don't judge the future by the past and Donahue will do well to look for the same type of opposition that he encountered last Saturday. Among the latest additions to the Varsity squad is diminutive Ed Peake, Pensacola flash. Peake has been a m scrub for the past two seasons, but has always been in the limelight due ft to his dashing runs and agility. No surprise if he should see a bit of service Saturday. Bolton Shotts, veteran fullback should be back in the lineup. His presence will add much to the defensive strength as he specializes in backing up the line. With Saturday being the first excused football day, quite a large attendance is expected at the fray. Remember that we are not in Auburn. Yell, and don't stop until the final whistle blows. If the fight spirit is shown, there is even greater glory in defeat than in victory. Let's take the true attitude towards the Pitts crew and back 'em to the limit. Band To Have Club Rooms Over Bank The plans for a club room for members of the Band have been under way for some time. Tht two rooms above the First National Bank have been chosen for the Club's location. For, with the back rooms occupied as living quarters for four members of the Band, the expense of maintaining the front one as a club room will be practically nothing. In a short time, the Band hopes to have these rooms furnished with every comfort their means will allow. The purpose of this enterprise is to provide amusement for members of the Band. Prof. Wyatt Heads Arch. Design Dept. According to a statement made by Professor F. C. Biggen, Dean of the Department of Architecture at Auburn, Professor Benjimen Kenneth Wyatt comes to us highly recommended by Professor Lorch of U. of Mich., Professors Curtis and Spratling of Tulane and Mr. Farrot in whose office he has been employed for four years. _. He has had five years of College training, three at Tulane and two at the University of Michigan. He takes Professor Osborne's place as head teacher of Architectural design, during Professor Osborne's absence this year. FRATERNITY ENTERTAINS WITH SMOKER Alpha Tau Omega Honors Pledges On Monday evening the pledges of the Alpha Tau Omega Fraternity entertained at a smoker in honor of two pledges from each of the other fraternities on the campus. The affair was the first of its kind to be given this season and proved to be a success in every way. Cigars, cfgarettes, and punch were served to the guests. Tables were set for bridge and many of the guests played during the evening Towards the end of the smoker, short speeches were made by the visitors and also by the A. T. 0. pledges. Guests for the occasion included: Kappa Alpha, Robert Dowling and Luke Brown; Kappa Sigma, Dick Jones and Jesse Adams; Phi Delta Theta, Eugene Deaton and Jeff Hudson; Phi Kappa Delta, Tom Brown and Sable Shanks; Theta Chi, L. W. Strauss and Harold Harmon; Theta Kappa Nu, H. C. Howard and G. W. Griffin; Sigma Nu, Bob McConnell and Drewry Foy; Sigma Pi, Owen Armstrong and William Barefield; Lambda Chi Alpha, Adolph Roemer and Alvin McConnell; Delta Sigma Phi, Jack Rhodes and Fred Montgomery; Sigma Alpha Epsilon, Kelly Sullivan and Claude Frazier; Pi Kappa Phi, Willie Cousins and Whitfield Herren; Alpha Lambda Tau, Roy Sellers and Dick Halloman; Beta Kappa, Hubbard .White and Paul Summerville; Sigma Phi Epsilon, Ben Dempsey and George Ragland; Sigma Theta, W. D. Jester and Charles Jager; Tau Omega Chi, Earl Fleming and Oran Kuykendall. GOLEMAN TRAVELS IN ITALY AND SPAIN Albert Sidney Golemon graduated from the Department of Architecture at the Alabama Polytechnic Institute in the year 1924, he went from there to the Massachusetts Institute of Technology where he received his Masters Degree in the summer of 1926. During the winter sessions of 1925-27 he served as an instructor in Architecture at Alabama Polytechnic Institute at Auburn. In the summer of 1927 he attended the Fontaineb-leau School of Fine Arts in Paris, France for further graduate work. Having finished his course of study there he is now traveling in Italy and Spain. Golemon expects to return to this country in the latter part of November. While a student at Auburn Golemon took the American Institute of Architectural Design prize and was also an associate member of the Alabama Chapter of the American Institute of Architects. ORR WILL ADDRESS ARCHITECTS HERE The Architectural Association had the pleasure of hearing Mr. Frank Orr, an Auburn graduate, at its meeting last Monday night. Mr. Orr, who was graduated in the class of '24, was in his senior year president of the Architectural Association, Art Editor of the Glomerata and also a colonel of the R. O^T. C. unit. He is a member of the Lambda Chi Alpha fraternity and Tau Beta Pi honorary fraternity, and is now employed as architectural engineer by Geo. P. Turner, a prominent architect of Birmingham. Mr. Orr spoke on "Acoustics," and was able to portray this subject compentently, having gained a thorough knowledge of the subject through his study at Asburn. His knowledge has been further advanced by his three years practical experience in the office. The lecture was of great interest and help to all interested in architecture. Dance Is Feature Of Homecoming Celebration Here Music Furnished By Max Jones' Orchestra The A Club Dance which was given in the gymnasium last Saturday was: a very delightful affair to all those who attended. It was a part of the program planned for Homecoming to renew old times at Auburn and give the ones who had never attended an Auburn dance a sample of how good they are. A few of the grils who attended the dances were: Misses Le-nora Woodall, Elizabeth Pharr, Annie Mae Hyatt and Dorothy Kilgore from Columbus, Georgia; Misses Rosalind Jones, Katherine Smith, Kathleen Pope and Ruth Drisbauch, from Birmingham. The music was furnished by Max Jones, a director of a popular jazz orchestra of Boston, Mass., and his orchestra of seven other Auburn students. This orchest ra will probably furnish music for the A Club dances that are to follow. After the dances came to' a close, Charley Dudley, Auburn's gone but not forgotten Cheer Leader, led the crowd in a few hearty yells which told our visitors that the old Auburn Spirit is still alive. Kangaroo Court At B'ham-Sou. Victims and likely victims may rejoice for no more is the law of the lash and the -mask, at least in academic circles at Birmingham-Sonth-ern college. The faculty held up a light so that upperclassmen might read the handwriting on the wall and consequently, a new era is beginning at Hilltop, no more will pleasure bent collegiates roam the halls of the dormitories in the wee hours scaring the green freshmen pink. The mask of darkness is laid aside and a tribunal has been set up in the manner of a "Kangaroo Court" and nightly are the guilty hauled before a magistrate and jury. Defending and prosecuting attorneys are appointed and justice takes its course. Until this year, however, uneasy were the pajama trunks belonging to freshmen- Under the oaken persuader, tender skins were wrought into multi-colored patterns. > Beginners lived in constant awe of the tap, tap, tap that might beat into their dreams of better things at any midnight. The judge, jury and attorneys in the new court are selected for their sense of humor, and ingenuity. It seems, freshmen say, that only the guilty are brought before the court, for as yet none have been truned away without proper attention. The court differs slightly from the Supreme Court in that no records are kept and precedent is disregarded. Individual problems present themselves in each case, one judge said, and they are treated accordingly. BAND SHOW TO BE PRESENTED TO RAISE FUNDS Many Talented Artists Will Take Part In Program Get ready for something new and unusuaj in the way of entertainment. The Auburn band is planning to present a show in the very near future. A varied program of vaudeville, black-face, music and minstrel is being planned by members of the band who are in charge of the show. The Glee Club, Mandolin Club, the Dramatic Club, the Orchestra and other individuals experienced in that line will also attribute to the attraction. The main purpose of the show is to raise money by means of which new equipment might be purchased for the band and at the same time offer to the student body a bit of really worth-while entertainment. Due to the enlargement of the band in the last two years, fifteen new uniforms are needed. Quite a number of the old capes need altering and lining. The show, which is under the personal direction of P. R. Bidez, promises to be one of the best of the year. Tickets will be on sale at one dollar each. DR. PETRIE IN AUTO ACCIDENT FRIDAY Dean Petrie is suffering from minor cuts about the head as a result of an accident on Friday. Dean received injuries about the face when the car he was driving was hit by a Lincoln whose driver was blinded by the sun. The windshield of Dr. Petrie's car was shattered as it was knocked against the guy wire of a telephone pole. He narrowly escaped death when his new fall hat was literally cut from his head, however he escaped with a small cut on the nose and head. With the exception of the windshield the automobiles received no serious damage. When asked concerning the accident he exclaimed, "Here I am with my nose sewed up, my head plastered and thankful that I am not in a warmer clime." LAMPS TAKE IN THREE SENIOR GIRLS 0F_ MERIT Local Honor Society Initiates New Members V On Sunday, October 9, initiation into the Lamps Senior Women's Honorary was held. Three popular Seniors, Catherine Hare, porothy Taylor and Beth Seibold, were the girls on whom this honor was bestow-sd this year. Sunday morning a delightful breakfast was given at the College Cafe in honor of the new meriibers. Miss Emily Hare, an Auburn alumnus and "one of the charter members of Lamps, presided over the initiation ceremonies, and was hostess at the breakfast. Lamps is a local society, to which not more than five of the most outstanding Senior girls are elected annually. It was founded in 1923 by Emily Hare, Elizabeth Fullan, Elizabeth Collins, Georgia Thomas, and Leila Jordan, under the direction and supervision of Miss Zoe Dobbs. It is without doubt a most worthy organization, having for its standards, loyalty, ability, magnanimity, personality, and scholarship. Lamps seems already to have exerted a very good influence upon the school by inspiring the girl students to do their best at all times, in ord.n-that they may merit election to this society when they become Seniors. Co-ed Enrollment Shows Steady Gain Over Other Years Majority of Girls Take Home Economics For the past five years, the enro i-ment of the co-eds has shown a steady increase each year. The fall registration showed the largest enrollment of Co-eds in the history of the Alabama Polytechnic Institute, according to statement made-by Miss Zoe Dobbs. The majority of the Co-eds are enrolled in Home Economics, while there have been three registered in art, five in Pre-Medical, including the Moore twins from Opelika, and one in Chemical Engineering and one in the School of Pharmacy. Last year one of the fair members of the institution ventured forth into the field of Veterinary Medicine, and to date her sister Co-eds have failed to display like taste in choice of their courses. This year for the first time, Physical Education is being offered to the Co-eds. This department is headed by Misses Lula Palmer and Irene Brown. Miss Palmer is to be head of the Nursery School as the "baby house" opens. Miss Palmer holds a master degree from Columbia University. Miss Brown holds, a degree from Baylor University. i i Breezy" Bauer Visits Auburn "Breezy" Bauer, a .student at the University of Colorado and a member of the Sigma Nu Fraternity there came to Auburn last Thursday afternoon. He soon found fraternity brothers here and was welcomed by them. Carl F. Bauer told of his plans for traveling around the world, playing on his guitar and singing to pay expenses. He expects the trip to take two or three years or longer. Bauer will visit the southern states and then go north before leaving for Europe, stopping in each city as long as he pleases. "I have viewed life from the standpoint of an idler, a worker, a student and have often wondered what the outlook was of a tramp or a wanderer with apparently no definite purpose in view," he said. It was with this desire that he set out on his trip around the world with only two cents for his expenses. His wardrobe consisted only of a few articles of clothing, his diary, and his guitar. Bauer was a visitor in Auburn over the week end and furnished much enjoyable entertainment with his one-piece orchestra. STUDENTS GO BEFORE BOARD TRUSTEES; PRESENT CHARGES STUDENTS ARE BEHIND TEAM WITH OLD PEP Old Cheer Leaders Address Mass Meeting Some semblance of the old-time Auburn Spirit was evident last night in Langdon hall at the mass meeting. Although the fair in Opelika depleted the ranks of the rooters, a good crowd was present. Coach Pitts spoke to the students for the first time since becoming head coach. He spoke as an Auburn man, to Auburn men, asking them to support the team and to remember their heritage as Auburn men. Coach Boozer was given a hearty ovation by the student body, and was closely attended in his talk. Bill Wood '24, and Charlie Dudley, two old cheer leaders, spoke, and pled that the students stand behind the team to the last ditch. They recited the accomplishments of the Auburn of old, and declared that the old spirit was not dead. Both men led several yells, and it seemed that the spirit was not dead indeed, when the old cheers boomed out across the campus. Mr. J. V. Brown newly appointed Athletic Director, spoke briefly at the meeting. Declaring that he was proud of the scars which he bore from Auburn football games, he asked the men to fall in behind the new regime on the gridiron and help to make the remainder of the season successful. BOARD MEETS TO INVESTIGATE SITUATION HERE Students Claim Dowell Unfit for Job FIGURES PRESENTED TO PROVE THE CONTENTION Many Grievances Brought To Board Y. W.C.A. Hut Has Interesting History As Old Landmark on Auburn Campus Building Was First Used As Church Several accounts of the little «red church, which is located on the corner of the college campus and now serves the two fold purpose of Little Theatre and Y. W. C. A. meeting place, show that the little structure has passed through a number of stages, in reference to its use since it was constructed. In 1850 one Edwin Reese, a mem ber of one of the first families to live in Auburn, set his slaves to work burning lime" to make brick for the purpose of constructing a Presbyterian church in his community. This man prepared on his plantation all the materials necessary for the financial aid in completing the church. According to Mrs. W. ,B. Fraser, who is tohe oldest living citizen of Auburn, Mr. F. M. Reese, her father donated $1000.00 to the fund which was raised entirely by the Ree,se family. The lot was donated to the congregation by John Harper, who founded the town of Auburn. In 1852 the first communion ser-vice was held in the church by Anna Reese, the mother of Edwin Reese. An interesting fact to those who, would preserve the memories of the past is that the tankard and goblets used in that service and donated by the Reese family to the church have been handed back to that family and are now in the possession of Mary Helen Fraser of Opelika who is the great-great- great grand daughter of Anna Reese. A number of pastors of note have given sermons in this little church. The father of Dean Petrie of our college, a well-known man of letters, preached there- several years. Dr. R. L. Dabney, chief of staff for "Stonewall" Jackson, and professor of Theology in the University of Texas at Austin preached his last sermon in the little church two weeks before his death. Other prominent ministers of this church were: Dr. Cunningham of the state of Georgia and Dr. Foster, who was head of the Presbyterian Orphanage located at Tuskegee. This building continued to be the location of the Presbyterian church (Continued on Page 8) FORMER PUPIL OF DONAHUE TO BE HEAD COACH Assistants New Not Changed Head Coach by Immediately after accepting Coach Morey's resignation, Dr. Dowell announced that Mr. John E. Pitts would be head coach and Mr. J. V. Brown, director of athletics. Coach V'pts took charge of the team Monday afternoon, and will direct the team for the rest of the season. For a time there were quite a few rumors flying around as to who would be appointed head coach and Director of Athletics, but the question has been definitely settled by Dd. Dowell. J. V. Brown as director of athletics will be in full charge of the business end of the various sports while "Boozer" Pitts as head coach will be in charge of the actual training of the men. In addition to his work on the field "Boozer" is an assistant professor in mathematics which he declares to be a decided asset to his coaching for it puts him in a closer touch with the student body and gives him a better opportunity to see the students point of view in any question which might arise. Pitts himself an old A.P. I. man having come to Auburn nineteen years ago as a lowly "rat." He made his letter and was chosen as all southern center before he graduated. With the proper cooperation of the student body and playei-s Pitts should develop a winning combination here at Auburn and it is the duty of every true Auburn man to see that he gets his cooperation for without it he will be helpless. ALABAMA FARMER FEATURES PHOTOS Featuring pictures from all parts of the state (the first issue of the Alabama Farmer for 1927-28 came off the press last week. Fifteen of the agricultural students are authors contributing the majority of the material to this issue. Many subjects of interest to" the farmers of the state and the south are very ably discussed. This magazine is now a member of Am. Assn. of Agric. Col. Magazines. By LEROY SIMMS City Editor Birmingham Poat Members of the student committee which went before Gov. Bibb Graves in Montgomery early in the week to ask him to call the special meeting of the board of trustees here today, went before the board today and gave their reasons for requesting that Dr. Spright Dowell be removed as president of the college. After a conference of nearly two hours from which students and newspapermen present were barred, Lawrence Whiten, editor of the Glomerata and president of the inter-fraternity council went before .the board and told its members of actions by the student body in the present agitation. In brief, Whiten said that it was the belief of the student body that present conditions could not be remedied as long as Dr. Dowell is president of the school. "We know that students are not working and that the situation here is the chief topic of conversation on the campus." he said in answer to questions from members of the board. Whiten also told the board that it was his private opinion that if a secret ballot were taken of the deans of \ the college here that a majority of them would vote for Dowell's removal. When asked the direct question, "What do you think should be done to remedy the present situation?" Whiten replied that he thought the president should be removed. Frank Malone, president of the Blue Keys honor society told the board that the students realized that there was some major defect in the administration of the school. As one proof of this, he offered the fact "that this year's freshman class is nearly 18 percent smaller than last year's and that the total enrollment is smaller than the previous year's for the first time in many years. Victor H. Hanson, publisher of The Birmingham News and Age- Herald and The Montgomery Advertiser, gave the following enrollment figures for the information of the board, after Malone had told of the drop in Freshman enrollment. They are: 1920, 1,195; 1921, 1,269; 1922, 1,- 433; 1923, 1,469; 1924, 1,538; 1925, 1,550; 1926, 1,580; 1927, 1,643. Malone then referred to Dr. Dowell's alleged failure to attend student mass meetings and athletic events, saying that his weakened physical condition made it impossible for him to keep the close personal contact necessary to keep the student body's respect for the head of the institution. (Continued on Page 6.) GOOD RECOVERS FROM OPERATION Henry Good, professor of entomology and zoology, resumed his duties on Ag Hill last week after a two-week's vacatiNk at St. Margaret's Hospital, Montgomery. Professor Good was rushed to the hospital September fifteenth for an operation for appendicitis. The operation was very successful as he was absent from the village only ten days. Professors Robinson, Guyton and Arant, of the Zoology and Entomology Department carried on the work of Prof. Good while he was confined to the hospital.

A drop of the mercury has also appreciably added to our ex-huberative mood. In the face of all difficulties, A. P. I. continues to "carry on." "Strong winds make a kite sail higher"—isn't that correct? Auburn is receiving a vast amount of publicity these weeks. Manipulations are set forth in practically every Alabama Daily. In one instance, bold streamer headlines led the article, Mike Donahue has commented favorably on the amiability of Boozer Pitts as Auburn's head coach. We're all behind you, Coach Pitts. In their shirt-tail parade last week, the Rats were accused of being Kluckers. Well, that's going some; who can't distinguish between a jiude College Rat and a robed Klansman? We might label their fracas, "The Big Parade Revised." Red Arant walked to class with Miss McNeil recently. A Rat was overheard talking to another rodent thus: "I'd like to go to college where they enter as Sophomores." "Boy, that would be the onions," came as an answer. The Bengals meet Auburn's former Grid master Saturday. The outcome will also be interesting. The visiting ladies were well pleased with the Sophomore Hop. We are trying to be sociable by hoping they will come again. Next week will bring new issues—new food for thought in terse terms. MISUNDERSTANDING We are often misunderstood and we often misunderstand others. Misunderstanding breeds disco'-'. d hatred, and often causes one 'he should not. Only last >'eek evetj • in Auburn was • "•. by '•' -at had been written ••••'.•• i-at to his father, because h<- misunderstood. "I wrote that letter after I iiad been in Auburn only two weeks," the rat said, when interviewed Sunday evening. "I had the wrong impression of Auburn then. I had met with difficulties here, and had seen only the bad side of things. I had heard many things that had caused me to form the wrong opinion of the college. But before that letter had been published in The Plainsman I had changed my mind about Auburn." The rat had been led to believe certain things detrimental to himself and his chosen college by certain upperclassmen. He continued, "I had seen that it was only a few individuals who carried on that which I so much abhorred. I had seen that the student body as a whole was considerate of my views and willing to help me in every way possible. I had started loving Auburn more each day. Then the inevitable came. Students who knew me, suspi-cioned me at once. They would start conversations in my presence about the letter to see what would be my reactions. I have said nothing. I.am planning to leave Monday, because I do not feel that I can make sufficient amends." We are certain that this rat has seen a better side of student life and urge him to continue his studies here and become a loyal Auburn man.^Jt was only through misunderstanding that he adopted his first erroneous conclusion. MARKS AND REMARKS Someone has asked, where is the Auburn Spirit? This person lived away from the village and had not witnessed any of the demonstrations that have taken place recently. We who have been here and have seen for ourselves some of the things that have been carried on in the name of spirit ask ourselves what has the Auburn Spirit evolved into? We refer to the action of^a number of new men who have departed from tradition and have let their enthusiasm run riot to such an extent that their actions have proved destructive. There are times in one's college career when our hearts beat high and our jubil-ancy is at high tide, but these are seldom occurances. It is well to be careful that the wave of enthusiasm does not sweep us off our feet and send us headlong into the arms of the dreaded undertow of mob rule. The great bonfire that consumed quantities of debris on the night prior to the Florida game also destroyed one of the fine oak trees near the main gate. Timr alone can replace what was laid waste in one evening. The trees are one of the chief adornments of College Street. Their beauty has been preserved with care for us. Do we not consider posterity? Certain ill bred rhodents are accustomed to meet the trains and make themselves objectionable. We are aware of the fact that there are many students who have never seen many trains. It is unnecessary, however, for those students to appropriate railroad equipment and express themselves collegiately. The wanton destruction' and wilful accumulation of property that is useless to anyone but the owners is a senseless practice. Such thoughtlessness on the part'of a few is liable to jeopardize the good name of our college. Any organization may be judged by the individuals within its bounds. Let us denounce any practice that is detrimental to us individually or collectively for is it not our duty to hold the good name of Auburn above reproach? FIRST ORATION OF CICERO II VS. THE IDEAL When, O Ideal do you mean to cease abusing our shirts? How long is that infernal machine of yours still to rend our B. V. D.'s? When is there to be an end of that sock-destroying rampage of yours, impoverishing us as it does now? Do you feel that your depredations are noticed? Do you not see that your "Reign of Tearing" is already resented by your fifteen hundred patrons? What is it that you lost last night, tore the night before, whose shirts were wrinkled, whose pajamas shrunk, with which you think, that any one of us is unacquainted. Shame on the washing machine and its destructive habits! The senior class is aware of these things; the sophomores see them; and yet the Ideal thrives. Thrives! aye, it stands even on the main street. It is watching and marking down and checking off for destruction every new shirt that appears on the campus. And we, gallant students that we are, think that we are doing our duty to our Alma Mater when we feed the monster our best hankies. You ought, O Ideal, long ago to have been led to mend your ways and our torn shirts. That destruction which you have long been plotting for our Sunday pants ought to have already fallen on your careless self. What? Have not many other pests been cast out, though causing but little trouble on the campus? And shall we, fastidious College Men, tolerate the Ideal, openly desirous to destroy all our sheets and pillow cases with holes and iron burns? There was—there was once such virtue on this campus that brave students would demand at least one-half their towels back on Saturday night. For we have a feeling in the student body against you, a deep resentment of the wrongs done our silk hankies,' O Ideal; the nightshirts of the juniors are not at fault, nor the counterpanes of the freshmen. We, we alone—I say it openly —we,- the students, are wanting our laundry done better and more of it returned. How long, O Ideal, how long? WHY NOT A GLEE CLUB? It is with hesitancy that we mention a buried issue but we do want to know what has become of the glee club. It is true that there have been difficulties to overcome but now it seems that these will be smoothed out. We are aware that there has been no competent accompanist available but should the lack of one prevent the entire organization from functioning? With pleasure we learn of the-loss of the old music. This has detained action somewhat but should that deprive our songsters of a means of expression? Although the loss is of a material one we are thankful that the old selections have passed into the discard. There seems to be a great amount of talent available that is of merit. To neglect using this means that patrons of the club will be deprived of a great amount of pleasure. The mandolin club is fast coming into its own and the new orchestra is in process of development. When these organizations are supplimented by the songbirds the whole will prove to be a pleasing and varied ensemble of entertainers. It is sincerely hoped that some action will be taken towards the development of a glee club this year. THE BAND ASKS SUPPORT During the past two years, the Auburn Band, now entering its thirty first year, has increased in numbers and it is now necessary to purchase fifteen new uniforms. The capes of the old uniforms must be relined and retailored. Some of the members of the band have been deprived of several trips because of the lack of proper equipment. Conditions heve existed- for some time which must be corrected immediately. Tb musicians have already been measured ind the uniforms ordered. The band will present a musical and vaudeville show in order to raise the necessary funds.' Aside from the band the assistance of the dramatic, mandolin and glee clubs is assured in making a production, the like of which has never been presented here. Many of the campus organizations have voiced their approval of the plan. Students are asked to help the band which has been a source of pride for many years. Tickets will be on sale in several weeks. Will you cooperate? Auburn Footprints Apparently Max Kahn has not abandoned his reckless ways. Judging from the way a little bit of powder affected his face the other day, we would say that he has never had much to do - around a powder plant. Too, he seemed to be attempting to get the best of some of the other fellows when he forgot all about caution. Maybe, however, he was only getting ready to perform some clown act somewhere with a one-horse vaudeville show. We would suggest that go to an expert rather than to try the job himself. Red-headed boys and women. What a combination for one to write home about. Red Smith has proved beyond a doubt that he is no ladies' man; however, "Greasy" Oyler shame-facedly admits that he has fallen under the bewitching eyes of a fair damsel who recites her family history to prove that foolishness and vanity are a thing of the past. Guess who she is? Watch for an announcement at an early date. Woman's College has added another victim to her ever mounting list. We are sorry to see another good man go wrong, especially this one, for he happens to be our own Jim from Rome, Ga. We are trying to persuade him to let us in on the secret. Locke Cameron is the latest man in Auburn to take up the study of animals. Last Sunday while taking a sun bath in front of the dormitory, he espied four small squirrels cavorting around in a tree. After carefully observing them for several minutes, he came to the conclusion that there were at least at least six squirrels on the campus. We wonder if he came to* this decision inductively or reductively. After observing the plastic patches on the Dean's face, we couldn't decide whether the Dean was attempting Barney's nose operation or- had fallen off the flagpole back of the Main Building. ('Dean, we are sorry to hear that you were unfortunate enough to have even a slight accident and hope that you are speedily recovering).

Auburn has given me much and I shall always watch and love her. With kindest wishes I am gratefully yours, (signed) David B. Morey LUIGI PIRANDELLO'S "SHOOT" Shoot by Luigi Pirandello is a moving picture story. The characters are all connected in one way or another with a movie studio at Rome. The story begins with the arrival of Signor Gubbio who becomes a photographer and is therefore called Shoot. He soon finds that one of the stars is Varia Nestoroff wha has driven his best friend to suicide and wrecked the happiness qf his friend's sister by stealing her lover. She now has another lover Carlo ' Ferro but Aldo Nuti for whom she deserted Gulbio's friend has come to join the company. Nestoroff and Ferro are to take part in a film to include a fight with a real tigor. Nuti, however, is finally substituted for Ferro as the tiger killer. When the scene is produced, Nuti shoots Nestoroff and allows the tiger to kill him. Shoot, who turns the handle of the camera recording the ghastly scene is so shocked that he loses his power of speech. Strange to say, Shoot is rather proud of his share in this story of the lady and the tiger. The tiger woman is punished who killed his friend, Giogio's sister. In his speechlessness, Shoot gloats over his passivity as his friends try to tease him into speech again. Signorina Luisetta whom he could and perhaps did love, but who had been more attentive recently to Nuti, shows her sympathetic attention, but in vain. Shoot has too much pride to take advantage of her sympathy. However, he is very proud of his situation having been assured Income, friends, attention, admiration, in the midst of which his aloofness is collosal As the story comes to us through Shoot's diary, we see everything through the color of his prejudice and sensitiveness. As he has more sympathy for the tiger than h has for Nestoroff, we cannot be sure thai we get the truth about the woman who des ' roys all the men whdm she attracts. How-over, he expresses truthfully the author's complaint about our age, the machine age. Moving pictures showing a life are destroying the legitimate drama. Shoot feels disgusted because he does nothing but turn the handle. All the actors look down upon him for the same reason.

Man's superiority over the animals lies in the fact, says Shoot, that man must have an artificial world, art, literature, imagination and faith in a life hereafter, into which he can project himself. Man's superiority lies in the fact that he troubles himself with problems that he can not solve. In other words, in our machine age, in which no man has anything to do but tend the machine, one has no time for the very activities that make him a man. There is one satiric fling in the book at slavery to machines in America, where art and religion are supposed to be at low ebb. From one point of view, the story is the tragedy of a man whose ideals are not realizable and whose capacity for great experience is limited. The same condemnation of machine industry is presented in Hudson's Crystal Age and in Butler's Ereivhon but we do not suspect that the authors have the inferiority complex. Some one said recently that Pirandello sees life unsteadily and sees it double. He is at heart romantic but feels the necessity of being modern and realistic. He is bewildered by life, the doubts that torture, the negation of desire. The past seems beautiful as it recedes, the present towdry; something was certain to our fathers, nothing to us. This is the cry which we hear often now, as if there were no choice between being a brute and taking what we want and being one who complains because one cannot get what one wants. The book will please those who have the habit, like Signor Gubbio , of observing people and suspecting that they are always groping for the certainty in which alone man can find rest. Tht story is romantic, brief and closes with a bang. It turns out too well, in fact, for all of the wicked get punished sufficiently. The book shows that Pirandello has a heart but that he is hardly in possession of his own soul. It will, however, if read with care, provoke thought that will give value to things worth while.

Could not an athletic fee of five or six dollars be charged and each student be permitted to see, without further charge, every game on the campus? This plan works well at Alabama and other colleges. Had you not rather give five dollars for a good pair of shoes than three for an empty box! That's the question exactly." Today we are enjoying the fruits of this movement; we are face to face in actual reality with the very plan this student set forth. Do we appreciate and honor this privilege as we should? Are we faithful to the ideals this student had in mind when he advocated this move? Let's remember that others suffered—in a measure—that we might attain this advantage. We have been entrusted with the benefits of it, let's be very careful not to trample them in the dust. * * * * * Last Saturday morning the first regimental review and inspection of the corps of cadets took place.

W. A. (Bill) Young had charge of the program, and of course everything went off in fine style. Miss Evelyn Smith of Camp Hill, sang several beautiful songs, accompanied by Mrs. Mary Askew, which were greatly enjoyed by the club. A new feature of the club was inaugurated Monday. Henceforward, some lion will be discussed by another member each week; as to his peculiarities, accomplishments, hobbies, etc., until every member has been discussed. This should prove unusually interesting because of the characters oi the club roster, who are professors, extension workers, bankers, merchants, doctors, and men interested in other phases of life. The first man discussed was Emmitt "Unk" Sizemore. Professor W. D. Salmon "raked Unk over jthe coals", as the expression goes. Snort talks by Director J. V. Brown, and Land Lipscomb were enthusiastically received. C. H. Beddingfield, a new club member was initiated. Prof. Chas Snook was guest of the club. The different projects before the club, of which, "Sanitation around Auburn" was the principal one, were discussed, and it was decided to follow the program decided upon last year for the ensuing year. No more business coming up, President J. E. Ivey declared the meeting adjourned. ' Critics of Bond Issue For Schools Answered expenditure and philanthropic dona? tions; that Alabama's educational expenditure per pupil enrolled is only about one-third the nations average and that this state's investment in school property per pupil enrolled is little more than one-third the national average—only three states being lower on the list. The national average is $154 per pupil enrolled, while Alabama's is $54. The largest appropriations for education make the construction of adequate buildings for schools essential for increased efficiency. "Mr. Mallory says that the $4,100,- 000 appropriated by the recent legislature for the erection and improvement of buildings at the higher institutions of learning during the next four years will be paid to these institutions 'put of . current revenues whether the bond issue passes or not.' Exactly the opposite is true. If the bond amendment is ratified by the voters, these direct appropriations will be voided by the terms of the act of the legislature making these appropriations. "The plea that the adoption of the amendment will increase taxes is not The Campaign Committee for the ratification of the amendment proposing a bond issue of $20,000,000 for school buildings has protested against efforts made by opponents of the measure to inject factional politics j ' , into the campaign. Dr. R. E.

His letters and articles in reference to the $20,000,- 000 bond issue for permanent educational buildings abound in erroneous statements and illogical conclusions. "In the article published last week in the Selma Times-Journal and other newspapers, Mr. Mallory says that a sum in excess of $101,000,000 will be available for education during the next four years, in addition to the bond issue of $20,000,000.

And the amendment ?x pressly provides that 'nothing herein shall be construed as in anywise authorizing any increase in the rate of taxation now provided for by the Constitution^of Alabama.' "The fear expressed by Mr. Mallory and others that some great surplus will arise as the result of the in- j crease in license and franchise taxes and other forms of taxation can best be allayed by authorizing and issuing the proposed school building bonds. Then, if the predicted surplus appears, the excess of money above the state's annual requirements can be used to retire the school bonds and save the interest thereon.

This is the result of a survey made at the fraternity houses. The census taken shows that the "ideal" house mother must be a "good scout and able to understand and put up with all the swear words," as a paramount requirement. These qualifications were listed by seven fraternity houses questioned on the subject. Denver university fraternity men are. bitter in their attack on any edict pertaining to house mothers.

U. in Cramton Bowl SPORTS FLORIDA 'GATORS WIN OVER AUBURN TIGERS; SCORE 33-6 Completely upsetting the dope, the Gators from the University of Florida ran roughshod over the Tigers from the Plains of Auburn here last ^Saturday. It was the third defeat in as many starts for the Tigers. The final score was 33-6, the lone Auburn score coming in the fourth quarter as a result of a series of short passes when Taylor went around left end on a triple pass. Lineups: Florida—Dehoff, W., left"end; De-hoff, D., left tackle; Allen, left guard; Kirchner, center; Reeves, right guard; Clemmons, right tackle; Stanley, right end; Bowyer, quarterback; Brumbaugh, right half; Bishop, left half; Middlekauf, (captain), fullback. Auburn—Burns, left end; Carter, left tackle; Andre.ss, left guard; Patterson (captain), center; Howard, right guard; Turner, right tackle; Florida Freshmen Trounce Auburn Rats in 12-7 Game While the University of Florida varsity was in the village of the plains administering a defeat to the Auburn varsity; the f rosh team of the Gators was busy handing out a defeat to the Auburn rat team in Gainesville, the final score being 12-7. The Baby Gators first touchdown came in the first quarter After Auburn had held them for downs near the goal line. But on the last down the play was called back and Auburn penalized five yards for offside, giving the Florida rats first down. They proceeded to make the most of it and went over for a touchdown. Their second touchdown came in the third quarter by a pass, after they had covered an Auburn fumble. It is significant to note that both Florida touchdowns came when they had th« wind with them. The lone Auburn tally came on a beautiful play. Chambless, star quarter for the rats, received a punt on about his 40-yard line. As soon as he started to run, not a single Florida man could be seen on his feet. Every man on the Auburn team got a man, and one player got two. Chambless tore down the field for the sixty yards seperating him from the goal line, and finally crossed it. Brown came back from right end and place kicked the extra point, the ball going right through the middle of the crossbars In practice lately this Rat Brown is beginning to look like another Clabber Williams, for his educated toe seldom fails to send the ball soaring through the uprights. Fumbling among the Auburn backs was very noticeable as in the Howard game, and it hurt a great deal. Running plays were usually stopped by the Auburn line. Taylor played a great game in the line, as did Dread-en, Christopher and Harkins. Wingo stood out for the Auburn backfield on defense, playing a brilliant game. In fact, the whole team performed well. The blocking and tackling were good, and the punting fair. Except for the fumbles, the team played mighty good. For Florida Bethea gave our rats more trouble than any other Florida man. He was hard to stop. Florida had about fifty men in her squad, and as the day was exceedingly hot, she played just about the whole squad. Newton, the plunging full of the rodent team, had an elbow wrenched and his services will probably be lost to the team for two or three weeks. Harkins suffered a minor injury, but will be in shape for the next game. Dreaden was injured the first of the week in practice, but will probably not be out very long. McClesky and Winn have also been lost to the squad as they did not have a sufficient number of credits to permit them playing. - • \ The lineup for the Florida game was: Bearden, L. E,; Jacobs, L. T.; Dreaden, L. G.; Harkins, C; Carter, R. G.; Taylor, R. T..; Culpepper,' R. E.; Chambless, Q. B.; Wingo and Bell, Halves; Newton, F. B.

Ingram, right end; Hodges, quarterback; Fisher, right half; Crawford, left half; Granger, fullback.

And at the same time, let us all pledge our co-operation to one of the best football players ever turned out at Auburn; in order that he may turn out one of the best elevens in Dixie. With full co-operation Coach is able to do wonders in a short time, but with poor support, he not only will fail in his task, but will not be held responsible for the failure. Upon the acceptance of Coach Morey's resignation, Coach Pitts was put in charge of athletics at A. P.* I. for this year. This is the second time that he has held this office, haying taken charge upon the departure of Mike Donahue and reigning until the arrival of Morey. Pitts is a coach of known ability. While coach here before, he humbled Donahue's L. S, U. Tigers, and played Tech and Georgia to remarkably low scores The feature of a Pitts team is the defense. And this feature should be noticed in the very near future. In The Enemy Camps GEORGIA Georgia traveled to New Haven last Saturday, and beat Yale 14 to J^0 In a game that is to be long remembered in football history. Four times the fighting Bulldogs turned back the furious drives of the fresh string men of Yale. This occurred in the final quarter, when., the Yale first team was put in in an effort to break the four point lead of the Southerners. These four successive stands by Georgia have never before been equaled in the history of the Yale bowl. They went from their own 25-yard line deep into the Georgia territory. The Bulldogs, who were tierd from playing a steady stream qf fresh men, stopped the Blue on the 10-yard line, 7-yard line, and 21yard line in the last period.

Yale reached the 7-yard line before being stopped. Estes, Georgia halfback, punted 27 yards and Yale started the third drive, but was stopped on the 2-yard line. Many backers of the Bulldogs believe that they have a good chance to come through the season without a defeat. HOWARD The Millsaps Majors beat Howard College 13 to 6 in an interesting game in Jackson, Mississippi, last week. The Bulldogs made their score1 in the last quarter. On the second play of the game, Crawford went off right tackle and ran 45 yards for touchdown. The try for extra point was missed. Moody returned the ball 33 yards on the kickoff, which left it on Howard's 45- yard line.

Howard received the ball on the kickoff at the start of the second half, but was held for down. The Bulldogs were penalized 15 yards, and then Crawford went 17 yards for the second touchdown. They kicked goal. The Baptists received again, and Harris got away for^35 yards, leaving the ball on the Millsaps 25-yard line. Millsaps punted out of danger after picking up a Howard fumble. Then Millsaps started a drive down the field, but were stopped and the ball went over. A penalty gave Howard Jhe ball on Millsaps's 35 yard line. A pass netted the Bulldogs 15 yards and another was thrown over the goal, as the half ended. The second half started with the ball in the Millsap's possession "in midfield.

DAVID B Three years ago, a man, unknown; except as a football coach came to Auburn from the North-east. After the first few years of experience an'" companionship with the man; we have learned that coaching is only one of his many fine trades. Without a doubt, "King David" Morey is one of the whitest, cleanest and loyal of men! Under the impression, that he was hindering the progress of Auburn, he resigned his post for the good of dear old Auburn. Morey was then giving up his bread and butter; he was being paid on a par with our President. Fellows, we have lost our best friend! Despite the fact that he has resigned, he has offered his services until some one is procured to assume his former position. That is only a . MOREY small part of his sacrifice. There Are many of our present football players remaining only because he asked them not to follow him; and to cap the climax—two other coaches remained only because he told them they owed their services to Auburn. That gentlemen, is the breed of the man about to bid us adieu! Can we easily lost such a man? Can we find another like hfm, to take his place? Coach Morey, in behalf of the entire student body, we wish you the best of luck in future years. May ybu always obtain better co-operation in future years than you have in the past! Try to remember us as friends only; as we do you and your dear wife. Our last wish is a. simple one; that every one in this College were as true as you and had the guts you do! The Students Pennenheimer was the chief ground gainer for A. and M. Many times he made beautiful runs around end for substantial gains. He is a man that is hard to stop, and is always dreaded by the opponents. The main punter for Mississippi was Shadwick, who kicked goal for extra point after each touchdown. A. and M., who has a new coaching staff this year, has started off the season strong, and all indications point in the direction that they will have a successful season on the gridiron. The Auburn Tigers meet this team in Birmingham on November 12th. TECH VS. TULANE Georgia Tech beat Tulane by the small score of 13 to 6 in a hard fought game in Atlanta last week. Tulane put up a good fight, but the Yellow Jackets were a little too much for them. The whole game was a struggle Let's all get United and: back up Coach Pitts and the Best Team in the World. ^ THE TIGER DRUG STORE & UNITED CIGARS Auburn Rats Are Beginning to Take on Form in Games The Auburn Rats are gradually rounding into form. The line is composed of husky men each capable of doing his part to the fullest extent. The Backfieldmen are still unable to hold the ball as was the case in the Florida game. Blocking and tackling has greatly improved. The boys are all set to throw a scare in the Tulane Camp October twenty-second. The Auburn Rats will be composed of about the same sqad that made the trip to the University of Florida last week. There has been some misfortune in Camp. Harkins, Newton, arid Dreaden are out with injuries, Schlick was ruled out as he played Freshman Football last year. McClesky and Winn did not have a sufficient number of credits to permit them to continue Rat Football. between Banker and Pizzano of the Greenies, and Thomason and Mizell of the Golden Tornado. Banker, the 175 pound blond of the Grenies, was T. N. T. to the Tech players. In the second quarter he grabbed the ball and ran 93 yards for the lone touchdown for the Wave. He had the speed and fight that is needed by any real player, and was always on the job, as the Jackets found out. Pizzano played almost as good game as Banker, for they both stopped Tech backs when they were headed for touchdowns. The Yellow Jackets scored first, the touchdown being made in the first quarter. They marched the ball down the field to the three yard line, where Thomason went over for the touchdown, and then kicked goal for the extra point Thomason, who is a Soph., is one of Tech's most dependable backs. In the second period Banker ran through the whole Tech team, and made the score for Tulane, but failed to kick goal. The last touchdown of the game was made when Thomason went almost to the goal on the first play of the last quarter. Randolph went over for the remaining yard. Ford, an end, stood out in making tackles for the Greenies, while Men-ville, Tulane halfback, did his share in making yardage for his teammates. V THE PLAINSMAN Pag• 5.

''Agriculture has become commer-i. zed and specialized and this ins that the main problem of ag r'culture is not so much production as it is production per man hour," Mr. Davis said. He continued, "as ng as the one mule and man system is used there is going to be a higr jjst per man hour of production. '•Profitable yields and large machinery work parallel, therefore the economical farmers of the future are the farmers that are going to be producing with the more modern machinery," he said. Mr. Davis said there is no magic way to solve the problem of over production and that he doubted if there was any legislative method of solv ing it. More bills are being prepared pertaining to the agricultural stabilization for the next congress.
