MAJOR J. T. KENNEDY TO
LEAD AUBURN UNIT R. 0. T. C.
Succeeds Major J o hn
Hatch as M i I i t a r y
Commander at A. P. I.
Major J. T. Kennedy, field artil­lery,
U. S. A., appointed comman­dant
of the local unit of the R. 0.
T. C. by the War Department, ar-rivd
in Auburn during the early part
of July to look over his new field
and to make the necessary arrange­ments
for the carrying on of the
exceptional work which has been ac­complished
by this department in the
past. Major Kennedy succeeds Ma­jor
John E. Hatch, who completed
his four year term in Auburn last
Spring and left behind him a repu­tation
as a soldier and a gentleman
that will never be effaced from the
memories of Auburn men who had
the privilege of serving under him.
After familiarizing himself with
the organization of the local post,
Major Kennedy left for Fort Bragg,
N. C, where he was on duty for ap­proximately
one month.
The Auburn commandant is a dis­tinguished
army officer, being a
graduate of the United States Milit­ary
Academy at West Point, class
of 1908 and holding several high mil­itary
honors, including the medal
of honor for action in the Phillipine
Islands in 1909 as well as the Dis­tinguished
Service Medal for service
rendered in France during the World
War. He is also an officer of the
French order of Etoile Noir.
During the World War Major Ken­nedy
was a member of the First Divi­sion
and commandedthe Fifth Field
Artillery in major engagements at
St. Mihiel and in the Meuse-Argonne.
He spent two years overseas, taking
part in several of the great battles
in which American troops partici­pated.
Major Kennedy Is a native of
South Carolina and comes to Auburn
from Fort Leavenworth, Kansas,
•where he has recently been instructor
in the General Service School for
Officers.
I{e was stationed at Fort Sill,
Oklahoma .for four years following
his return from France }n 1919,
Ever since its inception at Auburn
the military course has been one of
the mos| popular given on the campus
Although it is compulsory for all
freshmen and sophomores who are
physically fit, the junior and senior
courses are elective and in spite of
this fact more than seventy-five per
cent of the students continue with
this work throughout their collegiate
careers,
For seven straight years the local
unit of the R. O. T. C. has been
placed on the distinguished list of
American colleges having a similar
department, a record of which few
colleges in the country can boast
an equal. The faculty of this de-

Publicity Department of the Ala­bama
Polytechnic Institute, under the

Hugh G. Grant, has for over
three years served as the most pow­erful
advertising agent of the col­lege.
It has been the medium thru
which the efforts and the aims of
the students of the institute have
been transplanted to the outside
world. Articles issued by this de­partment
appear in the largest daily
newspapers of the state and naturally
attract the attention of the public
to Auburn.
The course in Journalism for which
college credit is given is_a connected
unit of this department and the pub­licity
work serves as a laboratory,
as it were, in which students may
glean a practical knowledge of the
subject. For the past two years
these classes in Journalism have been
conducted with a very large enroll­ment
and the interest of the entire
student body has been stimulated by
the results obtained. Often "a stu­dent
on a news assignment secures
a valuable article which is sent in
to the newspapers as a part of the
regular work of- the department.

NEW GENERAL
COURSE IN ART
IS0FFERED
For the first time, the department
of architecture of the Alabama Poly*
technic Institute will offer a general
art course, comprising four years,
work leading to the bachelor's degree,
the coming college year,' according
to Professor Frederick Child Biggin,
head of the department.
"This course, said Prof. Biggin,
"will supply a long-felt want, by
enabling Alabama students to get a
fundamental art training at home,
instead of being forced to go to
northern and western schools for the
purpose. Graduates of this course
wiH be prepared, if they desire, to
teach art subjects in public schools,
or to take advanved work elsewhere
in commercial art, interior decoration,
design of posters, book plates, .wall
paper, clothing, draperies, rugs, etc.
All art subjects of the course will
be taught by the expert faculty mem­bers
of the Department of Architec­ture,
and under the personal super­vision
of Professor Biggin. Suffi­cient
general subjects are included
in the course to give the student a
good college education.
This new course, like all other
courses at Auburn is open to both
men and women.
FRESHMAN NOTICE
Each year The Plainsman adds a
number of new men to its staff.
These men start as reporters and
from their number a future editor
will be chosen.
College is not a place for study
alone. Peaceful seculsion and schol-astic
quiet no longer dominate col­lege
life. Campus activities while
of minor importance as ' compared
with knowledge gleaned from books,
are of great importance to everyone
who comes to college. These acti­vities
are a part of the college edu­cation
you seek.
The opportunity is open to anyone
who has the ability, or desire to
write, to join the staff of The Plains­man.
The Plainsman is yours and
we are on the staff ned your help.
Those wishing to tryout for a posi­tion
on the staff should call or ees,
Harry Fulwiler,
News Editor.
TO THE UPPER CLASSMEN OF 1926-27:
More pleasing even than the reception of new students at
the opening of college is the return of the old. While new men
must enter if the college stream is to progress they are to some
extent in the experimental stage, and.at any rate, must spend
some time in becoming adjusted to the college life.
The business of making morale rests largely with the men
who have proved their worth in college and in whose faith and
loyalty we have learned to confide. It is an inspiration and a
pleasure, therefore, to extend to you official greetings and in
doing so to express the hope that this year will be the best one
in all your life and that the college may cooperate to the fullest
possible extent in your individual and collective growth and
welfare.
' Cordially yours,
SPRIGHT DOWELL,
President.

TAYLOR RESIGNS
AS DEAN OF THE
ACADEMIC DEPT.
Resignation Is Keenly Felt By
Many Friends
Dr. Rupert Taylor, former Dean
of the Academic Department of the
Alabama Polytechnic Institute, .tend­ered
his resignation in the early part
of July to become effective at once.
Dr. Taylor wished to have it under­stood
that his act in doing this was
by no means a sudden one, but was
one of which he had been thinking
for a year or more, He stated that
it had been quite a while since he
had enjoyed a real rest and he felt
that now was the time to take it.
The former dean left Auburn last
week for New York City where he
expects to spend some time in the
heart of the literary activity of Amer­ica.
His plans for the future have
not yet been announced, but his old
friends will hear from him soon when
he publishes an introduction to
Swift's "Gulliver's Travels".
During the five years he spent at
Auburn Dr. Taylor made many
friends among the students. He is an
excellent student of Shakespeare and
personally conducted a study of the
works of the Bard of Avon. A per­fect
gentleman, a scholar and a friend
he left a lasting impression on those
with whom he came in contact. His
resignation came as a blow to num­bers
of his Auburn admirers and
'friends who realize the institution is
much the poorer for having lost such
a charming personality.
Taylor was graduated from the
University of Arkansas where he re­ceived
his A. B. and A. M. degrees.
He went to Columbia from there'and
was awarded his Doctor's degree at
this great university. He then taught
at Columbia until the outbreak of
the war and while there in this ca­pacity
he was one of the organizers
of Columbia's extensive extension
course. When American entered the
war he answred the call to the colors
and became an officer in the Amer­ican
Expeditionary Forces stationed
in Rome, Italy. While over there
he occupied a very important position
in the Intellignce Corps. The Ital­ian
Government accorded him the.
signal honor of "Cavaliere dell' Or-dine
della Corona d'ltalia.
After the war he returned to Co­lumbia
where he remained until call-
Arley Baas Awarded
News Scholarship
Arley Baas of Jones Mill, Ala.,
was awarded the free scholarship
given each year by the Birmingham
News. Baas has entered the fresh­man
class in electrical engineering
and will be aided by this gift during
the four years of his college course.
The Jones Mill lad comes to Au­burn
very highly recommended by the
citizens of Monroe County as a
youth of sterling character and mark­ed
ability. His serious intentions .are
evidenced by the fact that he grad­uated
from the Jones Mill High
School with highest honors in a class
composed of twenty-six boys and
girls.
Although no.t laying' claim to the
distinction of being a star athlete,
young" Baas engaged in several of
the school sports. He was also very
active in extra-curricular work.
Each year the Birmingham News
awards sccholarships to one student
for each of the following institutions:
Auburn, University of Alabama, Ala­bama
College, Howard, Birmingham-
Southern and Woman's College of
Alabama. The scholarships provide
for the necessary expenses of each
student up to $500 or $2000 for the
four years of his college career. The
scholarship to Woman's College is
given personally by Victor H. Han
son, publisher of the News and the
Montgomery Advertiser, in honor of
his wife, it being known as the
Weenona Sanson Scholarship.
The plan of granting five scholar­ships
a year was adopted by the News
five years ago and with this years'
winners those who receive an edu­cation
through this generosity will
number twenty young men and wom­en
of the state.
Tau Kappa Phi, local fraternity at
Auburn, has been granted a charter
by the national organization Pi Kap­pa
Phi, and will be installed October
2 as the Alpha Iota chapter of the
fraternity.
Tau Kappa Phi was organized at
Auburn in February 1920 and since
then has had among its membership
many of the outstanding students of
the college. Pi Kappa Phi was or­ganized
at the University of Charles­ton,
at Charleston, South Carolina,
and has chapters at many of the
leading colleges and universities of
the country.

special sermon for new students,
marked the opening of another ses­sion
of the Alabama Polytechnic Ins­titute
here Sunday. By special in­vitation,
Rev. Norman McLeod, pastor

with all thy soul, and with all thy
mind." Speaking to the freshmen,
he told them of new conditions sur­rounding
them at college and defined
this as their "first crisis in life." He
told them that they did not come to
Auburn to "find" life, but to "cre-at"
life. In doing this he added,
"You should not neglect the religious
side of life.

Y. W, C. A. CABINET
ENJOYS CAMP
Auburn was the scene of n«;ny
various events last week, but one of
the outstanding events was the cabi­net
camp given by the Y. W. C. A.
The cabinet members of the Y. W.
C. A. came back to the village early
in order to be here for the camp.
Bright and early on the morning
of September 6 the happy group pre­pared
for the eventful trip. Each
one dressed, in campers' costume,
perched themselves and their lug­gage
on the truck and embarked on
their fifteen mile journey to Summo-
Co lake, near Opelika. There were
ten girls, one lone boy and the chap-erone
who attended the camp. The
lone boy was the "general utility"
man and also an official protector.
But some have said "that he was
the one who needed protection."
The camp was planned and con­structed
on the basis of a "Little
Blue Ridge." Here plans for the
years were made as to the creation
of greater enthusiasm, and a reli­gious
friendship among the young
women students. The recreation of
the students was also discussed. The
Y. M. C. A. is the instrument through
which a better spirit might be brought
about among the girls and a greater
realization of the importance of put­ting
a Christ-like spirit on the cam
pus at Auburn. The work of the
whole camp was toward this goal.
This year elaborate plans have been
made for the entertainment of the
new students as well as the old ones.
Two camps have been planned this
year for the women students, one in
the near future and one in the spring.
Other plans for the Y. W. C. A. ac­tivities
for the year 1926-27 were
completed, and the prupose of the
camp fulfilled.
The group "broke" camp Thursday
at noon and returned to Auburn to
resume their college duties. Due to
sickness several members of the cab­inet
were unable to attend the camp.
Those attending were: Beth Seibol,
Dot Duggar, Charline Baughman, Ha­zel
Arant, Dot Taylor, Allie Hughes,
Mildred Cheshire, Eloise Floyd, Eliz­abeth
Mardre and Catherine and
Emily Hare.
Five Hundred Rodents
Enroll During Week;
Guests at Gymnasium
The second annual Freshman Week
was inaugurated last Thursday with
the arrival of half a thousand new
students. This year's plan was even
more successful than that of last
year according to officials in charge.
The freshmen were enrolled as soon
as they arrived but official registra­tion
did not begin until Saturday af­ternoon.
The three days beginning
Thursday, September 9 and contin­uing
through Saturday were devoted
to assigning students to boarding
houses, addresses by members of the
faculty, and a general process of
orientation.
The program for Friday morning
was featured by talks to the new
students by Drs. Dowell and Petrie
while the afternoon was taken up by
the divisional conferences when the
students were officially introduced
to the work of their chosen depart­ments.
A tour of inspection which
included the buildings on the campus
was conducted by the Y. M. C. A..
and the Y. W. C. A. in order to famil­iarize
the freshmen with their new
surroundings.
The Freshmen were guests Friday
night at an informal rception given
in their honor by the.above mention­ed
organizations. This reception was
the first general get-together and it
was here that they received a most
cordial introduction to the Auburn
family.
On Saturday morning the rats a-grain
heard an interesting and instruc­tive
talk from Dr. Dowell, this time
on "The Freshman in College." In
their respective groups the freshmen
were addressed by the members of
the Honor Committee and the Student
Council who explained the purpose
of these two groups on the campus
and stressed the necessity of abiding
by their decrees as they were insti­tutions
of the college. The afternoon
was taken up with the registration of
new students when almost a half
thousand registered. Saturday night
was the occasion of a free picture
show given to the rats by the Col­lege
Show.
-The Sunday morning exercises com­prised
a sermon in Langdon Hall
following the regular Sunday School
programs at the various churches.
The address was delivered by Rev.
Norman McLeod, former pastor
of the Auburn Methodist Church and
at present occupying the pulpit of
the First Methodist Church of Troy,
Alabama, to a large and appreciative
audience. The rats were lined up at
the boys' dormitory and marched
over in a group to the place of the
services where they occupied the mid­dle
section of seats.

WELCOME BACK TO AUBURN
The Plainsman staff takes this oppor­tunity
to welcome back the upper class­men
and to extend to them through the
columns of this paper the best wishes of
the faculty for a most successful scholas­tic
year. Auburn is always happy to
see her sons returning in the fall for those
who come back at that time are the ones
who have not weakened under the strain
and who must be depended upon to carry
out the plans for a greater Auburn.
The ensuing year will hold many things
in store for the men who have just return­ed
this fall. Many of the events which
will befall the individual members of the
student body may be sad while others may
bring the maximum of joy and happiness.
The student body as a whole may meet
with unfortunate reverses or unexpected
successes, but whatever may be our lot
the old Auburn spirit will come to our as­sistance
to console us in our misfortunes
and to revel in our victories.
To the sophomores this, their first year
out of bondage, will give them a chance to
apply the knowledge so painfully learned
during the past year. Their new freedom
will exault them in their own eyes, but
for this evident conceit they will be for­given
by all except the lowly rats and their
thoughts concerning these second year
freshmen will be a constant source of de­light.
They will tell the rats that they
ning just so long as they are not caught
in the act as sophomores have ever instruct­ed
those to be initiated to the life in the
village T>f the plains.
To the juniors their third year of college
life will present many new problems for
most careful consideration. Many self-appointed
authorities have declared that
the junior year of ones collegiate career
is the most productive of thought on the
part of the individual. We deign to agree
with these eminent personages and espec­ially
in. so far as thoughtfulness is con­cerned.
Juniors usually think very highly
must necessarily be tinged with sadness,
too—of themselves.
To the seniors their last year in Auburn
possibly due to the fact that they realize
the precarious footing and that the long
sought sheepskin seems to be about as
elusive as Jason's celebrated Golden Fleece.
They have enlarged in their own eyes to
regal proportions and have set themselves
upon mental pedestals to be worshipped
by only themselves and the freshmen.
But the Auburn students are not to be
divided by class or petty grievences of a
personal nature. Realizing the value of
unity the several generations of Auburn
men have concentrated their most sincere
efforts to the accomplishment of the ideals
for which Auburn has ever stood, ideals
of honesty to ones fellow man and to ones
self. The very life of Auburn depends
upon the inviolacy of her name and the
names of her students.
There is much work to be done this
year not only by individuals but by the
student body as a whole. Without coopera­tion
little can be accomplished. The facul­ty
can hardly obtain results while bucking
the student body and without the assist­ance
of their instructors the year will be
wasted for the men and women enrolled
in the several courses of the college.
The old men have a load of responsibility
to bear for the freshmen look to them for
such aid may either make or mar the life
of a boy or girl. Every poor alumnus
who goes out into the world from this cam­pus
lowers your prestige to a great extent.
If for no other reason than.a selfish one
we urge your deepest interest in the welfare
of the students who have indicated by
registering here their choice of an Alma
Mater.
and five years in college.
Any freshman who feels lost on and
around the college campus should keep
in mind that the town people, college of­ficials,
professors, and students all extend
hearty welcome to all new students. Of
course it is impossible for all the people
of Auburn to express their appreciation
directly to every new student. Instead
of speaking directly to individuals they
are and have been expressing their appre­ciation
to the entire group.
Spright Dowell, president Alabama Poly­technic
Institute, displays his appreciation
by use of the following language:
"As you come to Auburn at the begin­ning
of a new college year, our institution
welcomes you with open arms within its
gates, as well as within its walls, dedicated
to the causes of learning and of truth. As
you come into our midst, you are entering
into a new experience in your life, since
you are on the threshold of a college career
which holds great possibilities and promise
of growth, of enlargement, and of develop­ment
of the qualities of mind and of spirit,
if you but use aright the opportunities
which are within your reach.
"The institution which we call "Auburn"
has a history and traditions of which its
sons are justly proud, and it hae sent
forth into the world fully equipped for
life's battles very many students who have
achieved distinction in the industrial and
scientific world and also in the field of
letters, and whose careers reflect honor
and credit upon their Alma Mater.
"Upon you, who are now welcomed to
full membership in the great and honorable
family of Auburn, we would impress the
importance of so using the advantages,
the facilities and the opportunities which
you will find here that you, too, at the
end of your college course, may go forth
into your chosen calling alike prepared
and determined to achieve a notable and
honorable record, which will also cause
Auburn to feel proud of you.
"You have reached a stage or step in
life where your career may be either made
or marred, the choice of the trend of your
life course being yours to make, and we
trust that, at the very beginning of your
first year, you will firmly resolve to work
diligently and faithfully as a student, to
avoid habits which will endanger your
success in college as in after life and to
be true to the ideals and standards which
will have the privilege of lying and ™"»-"h a v e b < j e n h e l d u p t o y o u b y y o u r parents
CONCERNING FRESHMEN AGAIN
Do you feel at • home after reaching
Auburn, the lovliest village of the plains?
If so, you should be unusually proud of
your ability in adapting yourself to an
entirely new surrounding. You have ac­complished
something which some persons
are not able to accomplish during four
in the homes from which you come.
"The members of the faculty, your fellow
students, and also the citizens of Auburn
welcome you most cordially to membership
in the great Auburn family, and to ac­quaintance
with, and joint possession of,
the incomparable "Auburn Spirit," of
course which means so much to all who
come within our walls."
SELECT A DEFINITE COURSE OF
— STUDY
Year after year boys from all parts of
Alabama, as well as from various parts of
other states of the United States, come to
Auburn to enter school for a period of four
years but have very little idea of what
course of- study they are to follow. This
is a great drawback to many students and
often they are lead to take a course of
study which has no bearing on the occupa­tion
to be followed after finishing college.
More than that, the^ students are likely
to drop into a course of study, which leads
them to an occupation in which they have
no ability to make good.
During the last few years more emphasis
has been placed on vocational training in
high schools, therefore more students have
been prepared to select their course of
study before going to college. Still,
there are students here this year who
have'npt had the opportunity orpreparing
themselves for making a definite selection.
Students of this type need a pilot to guide
them across the danger line.
Those students who have selected their
course of study should keep in mind that
there are activities besides "boning" at
Auburn which requires time ,and effort.
As correctly said by some author, "A book­worm
is not always the student who makes
the best of life after college career".
With all students in mind, the composers
of the 1925-26 Rat Bible saw fit to use
a paragraph which reads as follows:
"If .you have come to Auburn with the
preconceived notion that all you are ex­pected
to do is to study and drill, get it
out of your head as soon as possible—the
sooner the, better. Ready? Snap. You
will have to bone frequently, but remem­ber
that the grind is only a machine and
you are to learn more than formulas and
tables. Go out for something, and in so
doing you'll serve Auburn and enrich your
own life to a degree that's hard to realize

THE OLD FENCE
.The upper classmen who have just re­turned
to Auburn will no doubt notice a
certain bareness about the campus and
after, a close scrutiny will realize that the
fence which has welcomed them back every
year of their college life has disappeared.
With it has gone many of the fond re­collections
and traditions that have cluster­ed
around it since the date of its construc­tion.
It has become the accepted custom of
the "A" Club to have at least one of. the
candidates whom they were to honor with
the coveted letter count the pailings of
this fence and through the past years their
number has been ascertained on numerous
occasions. It serve as a barrier, as it
were, between the freshmen and their su­periors.
The main entrance to this enclos-'
ure was prohibited "to their defiling feet
and the scaling of this ancient obstacle
constituted a serious offense against the
dignity of the college. What is to be
gained now by still forcing the new students
to seek their outlets from the campus than
this exalted porticle?
Crude, ugly, and badly in need of repair
as it was, we hate to see it go but "The
old order changeth, giving place" to the
new." The college must keep pace with
the improvements undergone by the city.
Nevertheless there will be many an old
alumnus to return and bemoan the passing
away of the old fence. It is indeed hard
for the human mind to break away from
the old environment, to give up antiquated
commodities for new luxuries. Thus the
passing of a good friend of long standing
from this life brings tears of the deepest
anguish and hence the regret at having to
leave the old home place for a more beau­tiful
and comfortable residence. When
one understands this he can readily see
that the severance of our connection with
this old weather beaten fence which has
been both a friend and dwelling place to
countless Auburn men would naturally
cause an amount of regret on our part.
We would not attempt an elaborate eu­logy
on its passing but we do not think
that it should pass "unhonored and un­sung."
CAN A HOBO BE A GENTLEMAN?
The old controversy over the status of
the hobo in Auburn has at last envolved
itself into the question, can a hobo be a
gentleman? We are not prepared to main­tain
that a hobo is not a refined man of
gentle birth but we are convinced beyond
the point of persuasion that hoboes ar« not
gentlemen, the plural serving to include
the weary willies of cross tie fame as well
as would be desperadoes who take pride in
the fact that they can swing a freight
moving at a snail's pace or a passenger
train which has paused momentarily at
our terminal station.
The latter are really a "discredit to, the
time honored profession of blind riding
and tomato can brewing. Not that they
really mean anything by it of are coldly,
maliciously and premeditatively disobey­ing
the law of our state and the mandates
of our college. But they are giving vent
to all the devilment that has been collect­ing
up within them while they have been
zens both as a matter of common cour­tesy
and as an advertising medium. We
must not lose sight of the fact that they
might have a boy or girl in school here
or might be - contemplating sending us
good Auburn men and women. Then, too,
they are probably paying the taxes which
are helping to educate you.
Freshmen may have heard of these con­ditions
that existed here in the "good old
days" when a boy was considered a sissy
when he payed his train fare to a football
game or "rode on the cushions" from here
to Montgomery. But those days departed
with the long haired fullbacks and full
grown beards. Auburn caters to the gen­tleman,
not to the roughnecks. It is to
the freshmen then that we would offer a
word of advice.
You can be a gentleman and still hobo,
but you wont hobo if you are a gentleman.
A gentleman in the strict sense of the word
always respects the wishes of his parents.
If his parents express the desire that he
beat the railroad out of their legal fare
on" all occasions, then he might be classed
as a gentleman in spite of his acts. On
the other hand if he violates the decrees
of his mother and father in hoboing he
forfeits all rights to the name. It often
pays not to follow the crowd. Bear this
in mind when you are asked to start out
on your first trip as a train robber. ',
Wc have confined this editorial to a.
few words to the male students of this col­lege,
but they can be applied with some­what
the^same results to those of the op­posite
sex, in sense if not in content.
TO THE SOPHOMORES
You who were rats last year and came
through the mill unscathed, to you is given
the power and privilege this year of taking
charge of the freshmen and seeing that
they obey the rat rules, that they get the
ole Auburn spirit by learning the yells,
and in general that they do and act as
freshmen should. It befalls your lot to
be a trainer and the training that you shall
administer will not always be pleasing.
There is real work ahead and you will not
shirk your duty.
In times past there have been rumors
of a laxity on the part of Sophomores in
the enforcement of rat rules. It is up to
you whether or not there will be a lax sys­tem
this year. The freshmen and nearly
all the old men are registered now, and the
Tigers are going through some stiff work­outs
on the field. It's time for a few yells
to be broadcasted. "War Eagles" "and
"Eat 'em up Tigers" are very scarce.
Sophomores, it's mostly up to you! What
are you going to do?
* AUBURN FOOTPRINTS H
Now that Freshman week is over it is
hoped that a number of our worthy upper-classmen
will recover, from the sudden love
that tl»ey developed for the lowly rodents.
It appears as though the Freshman class
has been the ruling class during the above
stated time; but we have very little doubt
that this abnormality will continue.
* * * *
The prestige of the above stated Fresh­man
class was greatly boosted by, the free
show last Saturday night. We had no idea
that Auburn had so many four year rats,
nor did, we know that "Cricket" Lane
looked so well in a rat cap.

Rowe Johnson has almost recovered from
a wild party which he attended at Smith
Hall last Friday night. We have reliable
evidence that he drank three quarts of
lemonade.

We understand that Jane Springer, alias
Miami, the most popular addition to the
ranks of the co-ed frshmen would like to
learn the gentle art of chewing tobacco.
We wonder what the co-eds will do next.

Yes, Barnum was right. According to
Royce Crawford out of the freshmen that
registered only 99 44-100 percent filled
out the Y. M. C. A. cards incorrectly.

We notice that Fire Chief Simms is
back on the campus intact. It is under­stood
that "Fire Chief" will start his cam­paign
for re-election in the near future.
So far there has been no one who has ex­pressed
a desire to oppose Simms in this
race. We have tried to get a bet with
someone^ that Firechief will be re-elected,
but so far we have not found anyone that
will bet with us.—Yes, girls; he's still
single.

WITH OTHER COLLEGES
The purpose of this column shall be t<
try to give the most interesting happenings
and topics concerning other colleges of the
world, in a brief form. If any one has
a suggestion that they think will be of in­terest
to the students, or any bit of news
which they would like to have in this col­umn,

Her Majesty The Cow
"The cow is a. female quadruped with
an alto voice and a face in which there is
no guile. She collaborates with the pump
in the production of a liquid which is call­ed
milk, and is allowed to ferment and is
then agitated until it is forced to give up
at home under the watchful parental eye. I j t s fatty substance which is called butter.
Without really seriously considering the
reactions of the outsiders who sometimes
pass through the fair village to these harm­less
pranks they leave very bad impressions
of Auburn men and Auburp life.
Not one of these men would do anything
which he really believed would tarnish
the fair name of his chosen college. What
they do is done in the spirit of recklessness
so common to this transitional period in
the social life of the entire world. We feel
that when we call these infractions of the
college rules to their attention they will
realize that they have been a little careless
in the choice of recreations.
Several times since we have been stu­dents
of this institution the officials of the
West Point Route have found it necessary
to write to its president complaining of
the Auburn boys at their trains when they
stopped at the station. The offenses which
had been committed against the railroad
consisted chiefly in hopping on the train
for a free ride of several hundred yards
or making an attempt to catch the eye
of some fair passenger by antics which
were more boisterous than funny.
Each time after' the receipt of one of
these complaints the president has merely
had to call the attention of the boys to the
uselesness of these comical exercises in
order to prevent their continuation. It is
perfectly evident that a very unsavory rep­utation
may be gained by annoying the
ladies and gentlemen who find it necessary
to pass through Auburn in route to their
destination. We should endeavor to make
good first hand impressions on these citi-
The fatty content is utilized by the cow's
master to lubricate the interior of his var­ious
physical organs. The cow provides
the filler for hash, and last she is skinned
by those she has benefitted, as mortals
commonly are;
"The young cow is called a calf, and is
used in the manufacture of chicken salad
and club sandwiches.
"The cow has two stomachs. The one
on the ground floor is used for a warehouse
and has no other function.
"When this one is filled, the cow mod­estly
retires to same quiet place where
her ill manners will occasion no comment
and devotes herself to belching. The raw
material is thus conveyed for the second
-time to the interior of her face where it is
pulverized and delivered to the auxiliary
stomach where it is converted into cow.
"The cow has ho upper palate. All of
her teeth are parked in the, lower part of
her face. This arrangement was perfected
by an efficiency expert to keep her from
gumming things up. As a result, she bites
up and the gum things down.
"The tail of a cow is mounted aft and
has a universal joint. It is used to disturb
maruding flies, and has a tassel on the
lower end which is of a unique educational
value. Persons who milk cows and come
in contact with this tassel often, have vo­cabularies
of peculiar and impressive force.
"The male cow is called a bull, and is
lassoed along the Colorado river, fought
in Spain and south of the Rio Grande, and
"shot" by all public office holders.
J -i: :e of cow is worth eight cents in
the cow, fourteen cents in the hands of the
packers, and two dollars and forty cents
in restaurants that specialize in atmos­phere."
—Blue Stocking, from Fetter Clippings.

Among other things we noticed on our
return to "the lovliest village of the plains"
was the decorative scheme that was applied
to our water tank. We are under the im­pression
that all that should be on that
tank is the class numerals. But be that
as it may we feel sure that neither the
class of '26 or '27 care to advertise the
prowess of Alabama's 1925 football team;
and we feel also that neither class, as a
body will endorse the sentiment expressed
beneath the score alluded to.
* * * *
We will admit that Alabama did have a
championship team last year and the year
befort; but success does not go to some
folk's heads. They forgot the nine South­ern
Championships won by the Tiger; and
dismiss the suggestion of Auburn with
"Oh well, Auburn's football teams are a
thing of the past." We feel certain that
Coaches Morey, Papke, Pitts, Moulton,
Spinks, and Brown, Captain Turner, and
the rest of the team and every other Au­burn
man, not included in the above men­tioned
classifications will emphatically op­pose
the above stated idea. We convinc­ed
Vandy and Tech that the idea was
wrong last year, in. a manner that they
can not over look. We feel safe in saying
that Coach Morey would be delighted to
convince Alabama in like manner.
* * S: *
And, why not? There is not a student
here now that was here when Auburn and
Alabama broke athletic relations, and very
few members of the faculty. There is
practically no chance of anyone now at
Auburn nursing a hate for Alabama that
is not secondhanded. The same is true
for the University. There was no "free-for-
all" in' 1924 when Auburn and Ala­bama
met on the basketball court, in the
S. C. tournament. There has been no un­pleasant-
experiences that we recall in the
various track mets in which the two in- .
stitutions have competed. Men from both
side in the world war, have worked and
played side by side in R. 0. T. C. camps,
Conventions, at Blue Ridge, and in business
and politics throughout the state. With
these things in view we can not see why
it would be such a perilous thing should
the two institutions meet on the gridiron.
* * * *
Shall we admit that Georgia Tech are
better sportsmen thrfn we. The fact that
we can not resume athletic relations with v
Alabama is such an admission on the part
of someone.

If I'm descended from an ape, I
am not much depressed by that; I
shed no tears, I pin no crepe upon
my coat sleeve or my hat. If some
gorilla was the sire of my proud race
I do not care; I'm nobly toiling at
my lyre to settle for the bill of fare.
I herd my hens and plow and sow,
and do not care a tinker's oath what
chanced a million years ago to either
apes, or men, or both. I do my work
in proper shape; I milk the cow and
spray the tree, and if my grandsire
was an ape it surely cuts no grass
with me. I worry over many things
connected with the present day; my
flivver has two broken springs, I've
found some mildew in my hay. The
hair is falling from my dome, which
makes me murmur and repine; my
aunt is coming to my home, to visit
for six weeks or nine. The chair I
sit on falls apart, and lets me down
and makes me swear; the cost of vJl-ing
fills my heart with indignation"
and despair. When I have concrete
griefs like these, why should I fill
the air with wails because my fore­bears
sat in trees or swung from
branches by their tails? I strive to
dodge the bogie, debt; when baying
things I pay the dough, and let the
four eyed savants sweat o'er prob­lems
of the long ago. It may be
they are talking bunk, it may be
what they say is true, but there's no
prehistoric monk can stop me when

ADVERTISING THE NEW SOUTH
A few years ago Irvin S. Cobb
wrote a little book about North Car­olina,
after a sojourn in the State.
The signs of progress in the Tar
Heel domain were plentiful; the high­ways
were being paved, hydro-elec­tric
power plants were rising along
the rivers, schoolhouses were being
built, many industries were spring­ing
up, cotton mill spindles were rap­idly
increasing in number, construc­tion
work of all kinds was going on
apace. Building permit totals told
an amazing story; they had soared
to new hi/h levels year after year.
Everywhere new office buildings, ho­tels,
industrial plants, homes and
other structures were being erected
in large numbers. Much had been
done along all these lines; still more
was being done. The cities and
towns were growing, the countryside
was blossoming with greater produc­tivity,
the people were prospering.
Agriculturally, industrially, edu­cationally,
in every way, North Car­olina
was advancing. Cobb looked
about him, saw what was going on,
and concluded that there was only
one thing North Carolina needed. So
he wrote in his little book: "North
Carolina needs a press agent!" That
was the most striking line in the
book. It was immediately seized up­on
by the people of the State, who
saw in it a valuable suggestion. They
knew that North Carolina was doing
wonders, that a new spirit was abroad
in the* land. The North Carolina
newspapers were filled with accounts
of the State's progress. North Car­olinians
were well aware of the great­ness
of their State, but Cobb's re­mark
helped to make them realize
that the rest of the world did not
know all there was to be known about
it. They realized, too, that it was
desirable for the rest of the world
to know about their progress. Ac­cordingly,
they took Cobb's tip and
began to advertise North Carolina.
True, North Carolina had been ad­vertised
to some extent before, and
word of the State's prosperity had
gone far beyond its borders, but its
renown was not nearly so great as
it has since become. The State's
widespread fame is largely due to
the advertising and press agenting it
has received.
Now, what was true of North Car­olina
then is true of the South as a
whole today. The entire South is ad­vancing,
agriculturally, industrially,
educationally and in every way. A
new spirit is abroad in the land; a
New South has come into being. Just
as North Carolina needed a press
agent, so does the New South need
one. The need is being filled; the
South has a number of very active
press agents, if we may use that term
to designate organizations that are
advertising the New South.
It is our purpose to speak of the
fine work being done by one of these
organizations, the Southern Newspa­per
Publishers' Association. Last
Monday in The Advertiser, opposite
this page, there appeared a full-page
advertisement headed "American Bus­iness
Re-Discovers the Advancing
South." On the same day the same
seven-column advertisement appeared
in the Chicago Tribune, the New
York Times and in 179 Southern
newspapers. This advertisement,
which told in convincing terms of
the ascendancy of the New South,
was the work of the Southern News­paper
Publishers' Association. It was
the initial work of the season now
starting. Other advertisements will
follow. The association has conduct­ed
a systematic campaign of adver­tising
the South for several years,
independently of other organizations
engaged in similar work, but the cam­paign
begun this week is the most
ambitious yet undertaken by the
newspaper publishers.
The association is rendering a
splendid service not only in advertis­ing
the South to other sections, but
also in acquainting Southerners them­selves
with the great movement that
is under way in this land of tremend-ous
opportunities. There are many
Southerners who have not been thor­oughly
"sold" on the South, although
perhaps they do not know it. They
are not aware of the significance of
the Southern trend of population,
business and prosperity. While they
may know of the South's unlimited
resources and of our remarkable pro­gress
in the last few years, they have
not fully awakened to the truly gol­den
opportunities that lie before us.
But they are awakening; they are
becoming imbued with the spirit of
the New South. The advertising cam-

"Let's be thrifty, let's be earnest,
Sift the ashes and save coal;
Learn, before they spoil, to turn nest-
Eggs to profit—have a roll.
"Don't lend money, and don't borrow;
Soak your earnings all away;
Save a little more tomorrow
Than you put aside today.
"Living's high, and change is fleeting,
But no matter; learn to save;
Pay attention to your eating,
Make your appetite behave.
"In the big industrial battle
Saving helps to ease the strife;
Never buy your child a rattle,
Nor a gew-gaw for your wife.
"Save, to make your future pleasant,
Fill the sock, and get ahead;
Send no bride a wedding present,
Count the pennies—every red!
"Lives of Coolidges remind us
Thrift is healthful and sublime;
Let the spenders trail behind us;,
Pinch the nickel and the dime.
"Make each dollar earn another;
That, you'll find, relieves the strain
Let the old hat serve you, brother;
Get the old shoes soled again.
"Let us then be wisely doing
What is practiced by the great;
Drop the pleasure you're pursuing
If they tax you at the gate."

LITERARY SOCIETY
MEETS TUESDAY
The Wirt Literary Society will hold
its first meeting of the year on next
Tuesday night, September 21st, at
7 o'clock in room 302 of the Main
Building. You are cordially invited
to attend and become a member.
The Wirt was organized in 1859
and is the oldest society on the cam­pus.
It has furnished leaders in all
of the college activities and numbers
its successful former members by the
thousands. Many of our leading
professors were membres of the Wirt
while in college.
That the Wirt has kept pace with
the drift of time is attested by the
fact that last year it broadcasted one
of its weekly programmes over the
radio, being the first society not
only in Auburn but also in the State
of Alabama to do this. At this time
Prof. Rutland, himself a distinguish­ed
former member of the Wirt, gave
an interesting talk on the history
of the society.
The advantages of belonging to
the Wirt are many but they may be
briefly enumerated as follews: (1)
Trains you in the art of public speak­ing;
(2) Enables you to think on your
feet; (3) Enables you to meet your
classmates; (4) Enables you to ob­tain
quality points which are neces­sary
to graduation.
You can make no 'better use of
one hour a week than by joining the
Wjrt. COME! A warm welcome
awaits you.

"Yes, mum."
"Well, see you exercise care when
doing your work. All my floors are
highly polished and in excellent con­dition."
"Oh, don't worry about me slippin',
mum. I've got nails in me boots."
The young fellows get some mighty
interesting effects with their mus­taches
these days.
We often wonder whether solemn
men take life as seriously as they
would lead us to believe they do.

VARSITY HARD AT WORK
ON SECOND WEEK'S PRACTICE
The second week.of practice finds
King David Morey and his assistants
working the varsity football aspirants
from early until late. The grind of
another season is in full, sway and
everyone out for the team is hard
, at work to get in the pink of con­dition.
There cannot as yet be any
authentic dope on the relative
strength or of the team for no one
seems to know who is to fill the many
vacancies left from the last seasons
squad.
The first week of practice, which
consisted of two workouts daily, was
given up largely to hardening of mus­cles
and general conditioning of the
men. Morey had his men whipped
into fairly good condition by Satur­day
and most of the players saw
much service in a hard scrimmage
which lasted until nightfall. This
was the first opportunity the new
men had had to show their wares
and several of them demanded the
attention of the coaches eyes by some
spead and effective work.
Glancing at the backfield pros­pects
for the coming season we find
Turner, Tuxworth, Allen, Hodges,
Ndwsome, and Granger the only men
with previous experience at this In­stitution.
Coming from last year's
scrubs we find such material as Flash
Snyder, Buck Ellis, and Pat Moul-ton.
Moulton has been bothered quite
a bit with a bad leg and as yet has
not been able to' do any kicking.
He was considered our best bet in
this department previous to this in­jury.
Snyder and Ellis are show­ing
plenty of speed and running abil­ity.
From the last year's freshman
team Mike Fisher, Leonard Hart-selle,
Ebb James, and" Fofr James
look the best. Summing up the back-field
prospects as a whole there seems
to be one outstanding weakness
looming up; that- 4s in -the kicking
department. The absence of Clabber
Williams makes that extra point af­ter
a touchdown much less certain
than in former days.
As our scrutiny of the team
changes from the backfield to the
line we note one who is adept at
both backfield and line play, "Square
Jaw" Salter. The Bessemer lad is
known for his ability to crash a line
along with the best in Dixie. His
ability as a linesman was proved to
be exceptionally good last year
against Tech.
The features of the line now trou­bling
the coaches are the vacancies
at the flank positions, occupants of
which must be provided and trained.
At the present time "Weemie" Bas-kin
and "Lefty" Watwood are show­ing
marked ability in these positions
and no doubt both will see much serv­ice
before the curtain is rung down
on the present season on Thanksgiv­ing.
''Cap" Carter, who has had
some experience at the flank posi­tions
and who was used on several
occasions last year is looked on to
aid this department materially.
Without Abe Robinson and Fats
McNeill the stock at the pivot posi­tion
is on the decline. We still have
a man with much experience at this
position in "Pop" Patterson of last-year's
varsity eleven. This lad played
a steady game last year until forced
out of action by injuries received in
the Georgia game.
The Auburn followers look gloomy
over the fact that "Dizzy" Pruett
will be absent from the line this year
"as'n"ev-was being strongly counted on
to hold down a berth at tackle. The
shoes of this big fellow will be hard
to fill but there is a wealth of ma­terial
on hand from the freshman
squad of last season. It is probable
that "Dummy" Howard will draw
the assignment in the first encoun­ter.
With all these adverse conditions
to overcome Coach Morey expects to
whip a combination together which
will live up to the past traditions of
Auburn by fighting hard to win yet
in a sportsmanlike manner.
The following is an improvised list
of the candidates for the Auburn
eleven for the ensuing season: Full­backs,
Paul Turner, Bolton Shotts,
Square Jaw Salter, John Mosely,
Charlie Dinsmore; Halfbacks, Ed Al­len,
Speedy Snider, Buck Ellis, Runt
Granger, Louie Tamplin, Tillman,
Doug Newsome, Ebb James, Fobb
James, Mike Fisher, Doug Copeland,
Thurston Adams; Quarterbacks,
Frank Tuxworth, Nappy Hodges, Pat
Moulton, Nurmi Nelson, Leonard
Hartselle, Jay Bird McCrory; Cen­ter,
Pop Patterson, Dink Logan, Red
Carter; Guards and Tackles, Pete
Spinks, Shorty Long, Bull Andres,
Dummy Howard, Joe Market, Big
Six Carter, Big Turner, Riley Cun­ningham,
Merritt Burns, Pistol Ditz;
Ends, Baskin, Lefty Watwood, Cap
Carter, McGhee, Ingram, Jack Stone,
Dubose, Forney Yarbrough and Bully
Hitchcock.
"SEA COW" TURNER
Paul Turner who for the past two
seasons has so successfully occupied
the position at fullback on the Au­burn
Varsity eleven was elected to
the most exalted office as captain
of the team. It is quite an honor
to be elected captain of an Auburn
football team but we feel that it was
only a justifiable recognition of abil­ity
that prompted the A-Club to place
the honor on Turner. Paul, or as he
is generall called Sea-Cow, calls Mont­gomery
his home. He got much of
his previous football training and ex­perience
at Marion Military Institute,
incidentally he served as captain for
this school his last year there.
Turner certainly has all the desir­able
qualities that go to make up a
good football captain; besides being
well liked by all the members of the
squad he is a player of real ability.
He has plenty of drive and worlds of
pep in his offensive work at all times
and is also one of the most consistant
men on defensive play that Morey
boasts of. Thus it is an assured fact
that with such a man to captain the
destinies of our team through the
present season that even though we
should not land so high in the won
and lost columns, we will have the
«itisfaction of knowing that he had
4-team representing our College who
itfere able to live up_ to. past traditions
by always playing a clean game and
always fighting to win laurels for
their Alma Mater.
Besides his splendid work, on the
gridiron, Turner has found time to
engage in other activities on the cam­pus'.
' He is a member of the Kappa
Sigma fraternity and also a member
of the local organization of Keys.
"SQUARE JAW" SALTER
Square Jaw Salter was chosen to
act as alternate—captain of the Au­burn
Tigers for the season 1926.
Salter hails from the district near
Bessemer, Alabama, where he was a
brilliant performer on the prep school
gridirons of the State. Many of us
remember Square Jaw by the won­derful
work he did against Vander-bilt
two seasons ago when he made
nearly a hundred yards gain on
straight line bucks. It was in this
game that he earned the reputation
as one of the souths hardest hitting
fullbacks. Still others have vivid
memories of the great defensive work
he exhibited against Georgia Tech
last Thanksgiving day. The above
examples of Salters past perform­ances
are typical of the player him­self;
that is he is well adapted to
RAT PROSPECTS UNCERTAIN;
MORE THAN HUNDRED OUT

evry where in life. There's ho doubt
about his being conspicuous, but con­sider
how hard he has to work in
order to stay in the limelight.
both the backfield • and to the line
and will in all probability see much
service at both positions, however,
not at the same time.
Salter is very popular on the
campus and has many friends who
are expecting him to have his best
season this fall. No matter what
the breaks of the game are, it can
be expected that "Square" will al­ways
give his' best to help the cause
of his Alma Mater. It would not
be at all surprising to see Salters
name appearing on several of the All-
Southern picks which will be out just
after the Turkey Day classics. Salter
is a member of the Alpha Gamma
Rho fraternity.
1926 FOOTBALL SCHEDULE
Sept. 25—Chattanooga University at Auburn
Oct. 2—Clemson (Homecoming) at Auburn
Oct. 9—Howard at Birmingham
Oct. 16—L. S. U. at Montgomery
Oct. 23—Tulane at New Orleans
Oct. 30—Sewanee at Montgomery
Nov. 6—University of Georgia at Columbus
Nov. 13—Marquette University at Birmingham
Nov. 25—Tech at Atlanta
At this early date there is very
little to be known of the prospects
of the Freshman football team of
the coming seaeson. If the fighting
spirit of all time at Auburn means
anything to these new arrivals there
is little to worry about as the Rats
swing into action this fall. These
boys seem to be already filled with
the stuff that has made Auburn teams
write pages of history in the foot­ball
world. Several days before
school opened some of the boys were
working out with the varsity and
when King David called his boys up
on Drake field for the real work
enough Rats .were on the job to start
working together. They are out there
passing and kicking the oval before
the official training season starts,
with the vim and vigor of a bunch
that expect to do things up right.
They seem to realize that they have
a "hard schedule ahead of them and
making preparations accordingly. The
Rats this year were greeted by a
rather unique, to say the least, meth­od
by the so-called Vigilance Com­mittee.
This will doubtless give some
an erroneous opinion of the,way their
presence here is really appreciated.
However, in the face of this uncalled
for and untimely greeting the class
of thirty is showing the old spirit by
getting down to business early.
COACH "RED" BROWN
Coach R. C. "Red" Brown makes
his initial bow on the Plains this year
as head coach of Freshman football
and baseball. Coach Brown has the
distinction of being one.of the few
men to win letters at both state in­stitutions,
The University of Ala­bama
and Auburn. He attended the
University of Alabama three years,
where he starred in baseball, football
and basketball. After leaving the
University Coach Brown coached ath­letics
at Ensley High School" where
his team went into the final game to
decide the State Championship.
Coach Brown entered Auburn in
1919, and in 1920 won letters in the
three sports that he had starred in at
the Capstone. He graduated from
Auburn in 1921 and took charge of
athletics at Andalusia High School
turning out winning teams in base­ball
and football. From Andulusia
he went to Sidney Lanier, where his
team went through an undefeated
season.
. Coach Brown will be confronted
with a very perplexing problem when
he calls this year's Rats out for their
first official practice. He will be
greeted by all-state men from more
than one state and many others who
have won laurels on their local grids.
He will have possibly a hundred and
twenty-five out at the start and
doubtless- many of them will stick to
the end. Picking a football team
from so large a number is no little
job. When one takes into consid­eration
that these men are strange
to each other and to the coach the
complexity of the situation seems to
increase. However, Coach Brown can
be depended upon to handle these
men in a manner that will make us
all proud of them.
Nothing as to the showing any of
the prospects can be expected to
make can be accurately judged yet.
However, there is going to be some
weight in both line and backfield.
From early indications this year's
team will, not be as heavy on the
average as that of last year, but
there is several heavy weights on the
job already. These men come from
widely scattered vicinities Missi.

other backs that seem to be acquaint­ed
with the pig skin are Manley from
Ensley, and Crawford from Simp­son.
Also there is Hogan from Ho-ganville
that is large enough to filf
up a hole in the line. Another up­state
lad is Granger, brother of our
famous "Runt." From Lanier comes
Collins, beHter known for his work
on the court, but he can handle a
football. The largest of the candi­dates
is Tony Lotito from Virginia.
If Tony can change his potential to
kinetic and visa versa with a little
speed he will be holding down a reg­ular
job soon. Not too optimistical­ly,
but watch the Rats set the pace
this fall. Come on Rats!
GRIDIRON GAB
We welcome the appearance of Pea Grange. This lad is "Skipper" Ham-
Greene back to the "Village of the
Plains," but we lament the fact that
it is not to don a uniform for his
Alma Mater. Greene is to be the
coach for the eleven that represents
Lee County High this season.
"Bull" McFadden is another stal­wart
son of Auburn and pupil of the
Morey System to assume the respon­sibility
of a coaching position. He
is coaching at Cloverdale where it is
rumored that he has an array of ma­terial
that is very promising.
- We are very pleased to note the
fact that two of the best known%play-ers
of the famous Auburn team that
beat Centre in 1923, answered the
matrimonial call this past summer.
These two braves were none other
than "Slick Moulton" and Dean Pe­terson.
Another Auburn athlete who seems
to be on the road toward success in
the athletic world is "Red" Griffin.
This Auburn product has been play­ing
jam up ball for Montgomery dur­ing
the present season; not only has
he hit well over .300 but he has got­ten
continual publicity about his
fielding.
"Flash" Nelson is seeking laurels in
a new field this season on the foot­ball
field. Nelson has shown him­self
a man of much ability on the
cinder path and it would not sur­prise
the writer to see this speed
artist in the thick of some of our
battles.
We have one candidate from the
state made famous by the great "Red
ilton and he comes to Auburn from
Chester, Illinois, where he was for­merly
captain and quarter back of
that high school.
Our much beloved coach, "King
David" Morey, just dropped by the
office and made a few remarks re­garding
the outcome of the encounter
we are to have with Chattanooga. He
was rather pessimistic over the game
and pointed out the fact that while
Chattanooga would be keyed up for
their game with the Tigers. It would
be absurd for Morey to prime his
men for such an early season encoun­ter
with the inevitable result of be­coming
stale for the big games in
mid-season.
Looking over the Rat candidates
for Coach Brown's eleven we were
very much impressed by the prep
school records held by some of the
most promising aspirants. Jim Primm
comes to our fold from Darlington,
Georgia, where he was captain of
the fast team of Darlington Prep
School for the past two years.
Gadsden sends three highly touted
players up to the Plains in the per-sonages
of "Little Red" Clark, "Big
Red" Lane, and "Chuck" Haggard.
These men were all members of the
Gadsden High School team where
they made quite an enviable rec­ord.
They are all back field men.
Jack Nagley, from Ensley, and
Chink Cosper from Bessemer are two
other promising backs enrolled for
the Rat squad.
Freshman League
Is Now Possibility
Coach "Red" Brown, in discussing
the freshmen and their work for the
approaching season, stated that he
had been thinking of a plan which
he would like very much to put into
practice and which should prove very
interesting to the student body in
general. He said that there was a
possibility of his being able to form
a freshman league composed or five
or six complete teams with substi­tutes
and all accessories. It seems
that there are so many freshmen out
at present that to even attempt the
elimination of the unlikely material
would be farsical.
The only thing standing in the
way now is the lack of time on the
part of the coaches. The red headed
mentor believes that such a plan if
put into practice would stimulate an
effort within the ranks of those rats
who will not make the first, team
at oncef It might be possible to
arrange several games with the sur­rounding
high school elevens for the
second and third string combinations.
If the scheme is put into operation
the students would have a chance to
see some lively competition on the
campus as games could be arranged
between the various teams to be-played
on every Tuesday and Thurs­day
afternoons. This would give the
coaches a chance to get a good line
on all the material and select those
who show up especially well for the
first string.
These teams could be arranged ac­cording
to the merits of the players
composing them and demotions as
well as promotions take place
throughout the season. Thus some
fellow who came here from a small
high school team without a state wide
reputation and who has not received
the publicity accorded his more for­tunate
teammates would have -a
chance to convince the coaches of
his competency and win the coveted
numeral. Keen competition would
also get the very best out of every
man on the team, for there is no
surer way to get the most work out
of a man than to let-him know that
he hasn't his position sowed up and
that there are men just about as
good as he who are ready to step in
and fill his shoes if he fall down
on the job.
Then, too, the students would rel­ish
the opportunity to witness two
or three football games a week. From
time to time the days seem mighty
long and the big games mighty far
apart during the football season. We
believe that nothing could be more
beneficial to the Aupurn spirit than
games of this nature where all the
students could gather. Yells could
be practiced and enthusiasm raised
to a f ever* pitch by this means.
There would be no dearth of vol­unteers
among the student body to act
as linesmen, referees, field judges,
water boys.
The freshman fields are being put
in condition and the goal posts are
in the process of erection for the
preliminary practices. All early indi­cations
point to a record number of
candidates at the first practices. At
the present writing there are about
one hundred rodents cavorting around
the field displaying their wares to
the critical eyes of the coaches.
With such hard games on the sched­ule
as those with the Florida Ogle­thorpe
and Georgia Freshmen there
is need of much practice and effort
on the part of both the coaches and
the candidates. With the first game
a little more than three weeks off
it is time that some sort of combi­nation
must be whipped into shape.
The plan advocated by the genial
freshman skipper is much to be ad­mired
for we believe with him that
any rat who has guts enough to come
out there and put out his very best
when there seems to be very little
chance to make the. first team should
be allowed to play some if for no
other reason than that he will derive
a great amount of pleasure from the
game.
If the student body will get behind
Coach Brown and ask for these semi-weekly
contests we feel certain that
the request will be complied with.
"Dizzy" Pruett, who was thought
to be lost to the Tiger Machine this
season has returned to the loveliest
village and is again on the scene of
his former activities, Drake Field.
It is thought that Pruett's return will
bolster up the line as the big tackle
has had a year of experience and a
few added pounds of weight.
The Hurtsboro lad is long and
rangy and should fill up one of those
gaps in the" forward wall which have
been causing "King David" quite a
bit of worry lately. Dizzy has had
some experience both at the pivot
position and at tackle and should be
etc. Out of the six hundred rats able to handle either assignment this
here there would surely be several year.

Warm Weather Affects
Production at Contest
During the 45th week there were
produced at the egg laying contest
2536 eggs, or a decrease of 139 eggs
from the production during the 44th
week. There are several factors
which we believe are responsible for
the decrease in production during
the past few weeks. A great num­ber
of the birds are going into a
molt due primarily to the long con­tinuous
dry weather which we are
having at the present time. Also
our supply of green feed is not as
abundant as it has been during the
past weeks. The green feed which
we have is getting rather fiberous
and tough which prevents the birds
from getting *11 the succulency which
they should have. In a way we are
making up for this by feeding them
a quantity, of germinated oats each
day.
The thousand birds in the present
contest have produced 25,200 eggs
more than the thousand birds in the
first contest for the same period of
time. The average production per
bird to date stands at 167.99 eggs.
During the past week ten pens
had a production of 38 or more eggs
for the week. The leading pen is a
pen of Anconas owned by Dr.' and
Mrs. L. B. Wilkerson of Shorter.
There are three pens tied for second
honor with 41 eggs each. They are
pens belonging to Riley and Kintner,
of LaFayette, Indiana; W. H. Nelson,
of Gantt's Quarry; and Howard Farm
of Dunn, North Carolina. Riley nad
Kintner's pen will go through the
remainder of the contest greatly han­dicapped
by the death of their bird
534, which died September 8th. This
was a severe loss to the pen. This
hen was the 11th high individual in
the entire contest and had to her
credit 247 eggs at the time of her
death. - Riley and Kintner's bird 538,
the leading hen in the eontest, has
to her credit to date 284 eggs. She
has to lay only*16 eggs more to make
a 300 egg record and has 42 days in
which to do this.
There are six birds in the contest
this year that have a record higher
than the leading bird of last year's
contest for the same period.
A few changes were made in the
standing of the principal breeds dur­ing
the past week. By producing
41 eggs for the week the Howard
Farm pen went from 11th to 10th
place. W. H. Nelson's pen went from
12th to 11th place. F. A. Rew fell
from 10th down to 12th place during
the week. Outside of these changes
there were no others noted.

partment is composed of officers of
the United "States Army, D. O. L.,
and boasts one of the finest groups
of instructors on the campus. All
the officers are gentlemen and com­mand
the respect not only of those
enrolled in their claesses but of the
college faculty and the townspeople
as well.
Only close cooperation from every­one
will give us distinguished col­lege
this year and add another star
to our heaven. Freshmen must un­derstand
from the very beginning
that the uniform which will be issued
by the military department is not to
be mixed with civilian clothes or worn
in a shabby condition. It is in the
power of the student body to make
his new .post a pleasant^ one for the
new commandant or an extremely
disagreeable one. Let's start out well
to welcome him to Auburn.
FRESHMAN WEEK SUCCESS
(Continued from page 1)
given the new men to,determine the
training they had received previous to
their entrance here and to place them
according to ability. During the af­ternoon
they met for their various
lesson assignments.
Tuesday's schedule included place­ment
tests in psychology, a talk on
the health of the students by Dr.
B. F. Thomas, College Physician and
other lesson assignments.
Classes were begun according to
courses on Wednesday morning.
Each year proves more clearly the
practicability of this plan. A feeling
of closer attachment to Auburn is
developed by this means of telling
the • freshman that they are wanted
here and that everything will be done
to make them feel at home and proud
for having selected Auburn as their
Alma Mater.
"My husband certainly is fond of
children.",
"Why do you say that?"
"Last night he was talking in his
sleep and he said, 'Come on, baby,
and kiss your sweet papa'."
PUBLICITY IS AIDING
A. P. 1.
(Continued from page 1)
There are numerous ways in which
the students may aid in" this publici­ty.
The leaders of the various so­cieties
such as the Y. M. C. A. and
Y. W. C. A., the Literary Societies
and the various honorary and social
fraternities on the campus can be
of a great deal of assistance in re­porting
banquets, meetings in which
important issues are discussed and
news articles in general. The stu­dents
should certainly cooperate in
this work in as much as it is an
advertisement for themselves and for
the benefit of their Alma Mater.
It is suggested that all campus
organizations, including fraternities,
appoint representatives who will re­port
all news of interest to the Pub­licity
department, office on first floor
of Main Building, Phone No. 191-W.
COLLEGE NITE SATURDAY
(Continued from page 1)
go to Langdon Hall on College Nite.
On this night all students, new and
old, have their first get-to-gether of
the year. There will be speeches by
students and members of the faculty,
there will be songs, and there will be
cheers, which will make the welkin
ring and strike terror in the hearts
of all those who oppose the Auburn
Tiger.
Coach Morey in a statement Thurs­day
night is quoted as saying, "Tell
all the students to come out and get
behind the team, this is a time when
the team and the Coaches need their
support as never before. With the
student-body solidly behind us we
feel that much can be accomplished."
By all means attend the College
Night exercises, and unless ydu are
a human icicle, you will come out
an Auburn man for life.

prove, to develop the soul as well as
the mind. I appeal to you not to let
your soul take a rest while you are
in college because the quality of
life you will live after college days
will be determined by the extent to
which you develop your soul while
in college."
Mr. McLeod referred to .Clyde
Reese Bachelor and said that the
awful crime committed by him v»s
caused by his failure to develop his
soul as he developed along other lines.
Self preservation, self development,
and self expression were declared by
Mr. McLeod to be three laws of
nature as old as mankind.
He discussed each low briefly and
applied it to student life.
He said that the best way to pre­serve
life is to plant, it, to anchor
it in the right foundation of the reli­gious.
On the law of development, he
named cultivation as the first essen­tial.
He declared that cultivation
for development should not be con­fined
to the mind and to the physical
but to the religious, which he pro­nounced
the finest thing in life.
Cites Two Examples
He used the physical prowess of
Jack Dempsey as an example of man
who has developed the physical but
neglected the other faculties so much
that he failed to fight when his coun­try
needed him. in war. He intimated
that Woodrow Wilson neglected the
physical for the mental which helped
cause his body to fail him when he
was "giving his all for his country."
With a discussion of the third law,
that of expression, the speaker closed
his sermon which made a lasting im­pression
upon students and the entire
audience. He admonished the fresh­men
that self expression means self
discipline, self control and self mas­tery.
He said that self mastery is a
problem with which all must contend,
and that success, in the final analysis,
depends upon self mastery.
Announcement was made by Dr.
Dowell that the plan of having fresh­men
report before old students arrive
has worked" out admirably and that
remarkable progress has been made
in orienting them. Last Thursday
was their day to report and Friday
and* Saturday were spent in getting
located, becoming acquainted with
college life, and registering.
Enrollment Heavy
Up to Saturday night four hundred
eighty freshmen had registered, as
compared with four hundred thirty at
the end of the first week last year.
This indicates a freshman class this
year one hundred larger than that of
last.
PRIZES GIVEN

DEGREES GIVEN
NEGR0PUP1LS
New York, Sept. 14—More than
8600 Negro students were enrolled
in American colleges and universities
over 7000 of this number being in
Negro colleges, and 1600 in white
institutions, according to an article

TYPEWRITING AND SHORTHAND
COURSE ESTABLISHED
Many students attending the Ala­bama
Polytechnic Institute have ex­pressed
their desires of taking type­writing
and shorthand along with
their regular course of study but be­cause
the college does not offer the
course and the students have not been
informed that a course is given in
Auburn they have not been taking
the course.
Miss Berdie Smyth of Auburn saw
the students' needs and established
a course of shorthand and typewrit­ing
some years ago. She lives on
West Magnolia street. Her telephone
number is 157 and post office box
93..
"I am interested in the students
of the college just as I am interested
in the welfare of the college," said
Miss Smythe. She continued, "All
students who attend the • school I
offer will be given all I can offer for
it is a pleasure to me to work. I
would not ask a student to attend
my school if I didn't intend to give
him his money's worth."
Miss Smythe agrees to give lessons
any hour of the day and one class
at night. Her charges are small per
month. She offers either typewrit­ing,
shorthand or both combined.
She appreciates all interest which the
students manifest-in her school. Miss
Smythe invites the college students
to visit her home at any hour of the
day and talk over the course of study
she offers*
Huckleberry Crop Increased
Vastly increasing production of
wild huckleberries is one of the in­cidental
benefits derived from forest
fire protection, points out the Alaba­ma
State Commission of Forestry.
For years there have been scatteVed
and partial yield of huckleberries
from the hills and mountains of east­ern
Alabama but the almost universal
prevalence of forest -fires kept the
bushes killed back so that nothing
like full production has been possible.
The reduced burning of 1925 and
thus far -of 1926 -has permitted the
huckleberry bushes to mature and
bear fruit on large areas which for­merly
yielded but very little. Full
reports on this crop, gathered from
the wild lands of the state without
cost to the pickers, are not available.
However, it is interesting to note that
on a short stretch of the Southern
Railway compresing the stations of
Muscadine, Fruithurst, Edwardsville,
Heflin,--Iron City and Pell City six
thousand five hundred thirty crates
of huckleberries valued at forty
thousand dollars were shipped this
season.
The huckleberry crop is one of the
most important incidental benefits
derived from forest protection. One
picker and his family brought to a
buyer the results of a few days work
which netted him eighty-five dollars
in cash. This happened to be the
largest single amount brought in and
was rewarded with an additional bo­nus
of a ten dollar gold piece. Com­plete
reports on the huckleberry crop
this year would probably bring its
total, value to the vicinity of one
hundred thousand dollars.

WEEKLY LAUNDRY
As he registers each student will
be given a laundry bag with a cer­tain
number stamped upon it. This
number will serve as his identifica­tion
mark throughout the year. It is
very necessary that these bags be
take good care of as loss of it would*
greatly inconvenience both the stu­dent
and the laundry.
The laundry is located on College
street next to Jolly's store. New
equipment insures a good quality of
work and will enable the laundry to
handle a-larger volume of business
in a minimum of time.
Collection will be the same sys­tem
as used heretofore. A truck
will gather it from the porches of
the various dormitories, boarding and
fraternity houses on Mondays, Tues­days
and Wednesdays respectively.
In order to effect prompt delivery
the laundry will be open each day
from nine to twelve; one to five,
and seven to nine.
In connection with the regular
laundry is a dry cleaning business
which handles the students dry clean­ing
and pressing jobs at a minimum
charge.
The Goodall Worsted Company,
manufacturers of Palm Beach Cloth,
announced this morning, the names
of winners in their recent Ad Writ­ing
Contest, opened to College stu­dents.
This was part of a special cam­paign,
developed to direct attention
of young men of the coutnry, to the
new patterns in the 1926 Palm Beach
line.
Special advertising copy was run
in the newspapers of the large East­ern
and Southern Colleges, includ­ing
Yale, Harvard and Princeton. In
all, 36 colleges were included.
The contest brought students to
the stores in the various communi­ties,
where the advertising appeared,
as the contestants had to look over
the new weave of Palm Beach, be­fore
ads could be written.
In many of these cities, retailers
reported exceptionally keen interest
on the part of the young men in
their new Palm Beach models—and
very good business done on them.
The point most frequently made in
the answers submitted was that the
name was the same but the new pat­terns
were decidedly different. In
the opinion of L. S. Goldsmith, in
charge of Palm Beach publicity, this
showed the value of the campaign,
for .it resulted in quick attention to

in a taxi, and she watched with
growing ararm the driver continually
putting his hand outside the car as
a signal to the following traffic. At
