AGS WILL STAGE ANNUAL
BANQUET AT S1TH HALL
Super Festival Schedu­led
April 9; Judge
Hugo Black to Speak
The Annual Agricultural Club
Banquet, the super festival for the
college year on the Ag Campus, will
be held in Smith Dining Hall, on
April ninth beginning at seven o'­clock,
and closing promptly on time,
10 o'clock.
Preparations are being made to en­tertain
two hundred guests, consist­ing
of members of the club, other
students, faculty and townspeople.
Judge Hugo Black of Birmingham,
special prosecuting attorney of the
United States, and also a candidate
for the United States Senate, has
been secured as the principal speaker.
Judge Black is considered as one of
the best supporters of law enforce­ment
in the country and is also an
able orator.
According to the official toast-master,
John E. Ivey, poultry spec­ialist,
the entertainment phase of
the program will be the feature of
the evening. Though definite plans
have not been given out by Professor
Ivey, as yet, it is rumored that they
have several hair raising numbers
up t*»«?:r "W-"es. P lessor Ivey says
that he expects numbers of the
guests will voluntarily pay the tick­et
selling committee an extra dollar
and fifty cents, (the regular price
of the ticketj) after the banquet is
over, .in appreciation of the unusu­ally
good time enjoyed.
Doctor Dowell will be present and
award Ag Club diplomas to the sen­iors
who are eligible for them. Doc­tor
Dowell is one of the. Ag Clubs
strongest backers, and is always
ready to lend a helping hand.
Prof. T. C. Grimes, head of the
animal husbandry department, and
also president of the Gamma Sigma
Delta, will award the Gamma Sigma
Delta Loving Cup to the Best Ail-
Around Junior in Agriculture, to­wards
the end of the program. This
has become an annual number at
the Ag Club banquet, and every one
looks forward to this, eyent with
much suspense, since the fortunate
one from the Junior class to receive
I
the cup does not know it until his
name is called at the banquet.
It is hoped that every member of
the Ag student body, and faculty will
lend their support and hearty co­operation
with the various committees
in putting on this banquet and make
it the best ever held.

BANQUET HELD
BY FRIENDSHIP
COUNCILSAT.
A very enjoyable banquet was
held by the Friendship Council last
week end, which was featured by
addresses by Prof. J. M. Robinson,
J. M. Edwards, P. T. Ray, Royce
Crawford, and C. B. Burgoyne.
The famous Francis brothers re­sponded
by several well received
musical numbers. An opening and
closing prayer was delivered by Rev.
McNeil of the Auburn Methodist
Church.
Prof. Robinson the principal
speaker used as his subject, "The
Big Brother." He stressed the need
of helping the new students that
comes to college. Most new students
will accept advice when they first
enter school, but after they have
been here a short time they become
like Harvard men, in that you can't
tell them much. "It is compulsory
to take high school students with
fifteen units, but it is a well known
fact that not all of them remain in
college. You upper classmen should
be a big brother to some freshman.
It is hard to realize that there are
98 men in college without church
preference, this stresses- the need of
upper classmen doing their duty. A
man acquires a wonderful experi­ence
while helping the other fellow
The ballot box was opened yester
day down town to receive votes fcr
the sponsors to represent Auburn at
the Reception given by Governor
Brandon preceding the reception to
be held at Stone Mountain. At least
two representatives will be selected
from those attending the Governor's
Reception to act as sponsors at the
Stone Mountain Reception at which
President and Mrs. Coolidge will be
present.
Receptions for the sponsors se
lected from the various districts will
be given by governors of the South
ern States to determine the two that
will represent the state at the Stone
Mountain Reception. The contest
wil^ close here April 3.
The votes will be cast at a penny
each, one hundred votes being nee
essary to nominate a girl. The en
trants will be nominated by the four
classes, the final count being run
off on the last day for casting votes
on the third.
Mr. Roy Dimmitt is chairman of
the drive here and is assisted by Mrs.
Clara Yarbrough. The following or­ganizations

DRAMATIC CLUB
WILL PRODUCE
PLAY - 'DULCY'
Last Long Play of Season Will
Be Presented In April
3i 6MA KAPPA NU
TO BE CHAPTER
NATIONAL FRAT
CHAIRMAN OF
STATE HIGHWAY
BOARD SPEAKS
On Tuesday, April 6, the Auburn
Players will produce the last long
play of the season, "Dulcy," the story
of a dumbell. She doesn't realize
that she is a dum-bell. Oh, dear
no! She thinks herself the cleverest
creature who ever spouted a worn-out
epigram, as do all dumb-bells.
You see, it's this way: Dulcy is
married to Gordon, poor fellow, and
feels that no husband can get far
without the help of his wife. (It
is not at this point where she dis­plays
the fact she is a dumb-bell.
This feminine trait is only too uni­versal!)
But when she manages to
get things in such a hash that there
seems no way out, Dulcy is always
ready with some such snappy retort
as, "Every cloud has a silver lining"
or "Nothing is so bad that it could­n't
be worse," or some other variant
of the "so's-your-old-man" school.
Dulcy is the sort of woman you like
to watch because it's so comforting
to think that you aren't married to
her. But Gordon loved her, so that
was all right.
Catherine Hare, in the part of
Dulcy/ is at her best. The flair for
comedy which she displayed so ably
earlier in the season in "You're next'
is given full range in this comedy of
messed-up married life. Other mem-oers
of the cast are Phil Tippin, who
is the long suffering but adoring hus­band
and Donald McKenzie, a har-rassed
financier who suffers from
lumbago and is told by the irrepress­ible
Dulcy that he must ride a horse
and play eighteen holes of golf. Not
at the same time, tho if it could be
arranged, Dulcy would be sure to in­sist
on that. Besides these well
known players, the cast is made up
of Ralph McClung, Alma Bentley,
Beth Seibold, Dryden Baughman,
Foster Thomas, Bob McKinnon, Hart-well
Davis and H. P. White. The play
is being directed by Professor Ham­ilton.
The first two productions this year
of the Auburn Players, "You're
Next" and the musical show, "Col-iegiately
Speaking" have demonstra­ted
to Auburn that the Players are
an amusing lot. They realize that
the purpose of the theatre is to en­tertain
and that if they are to up­hold
the torch of Thespis, they must
be entertaining. The Auburn
Players feel that, judged by this
tandard, "Dulcy" will disappoint no
one. The play will be given at eight
so that it will not interfere with the
literary societies. April sixth is the
date—and remember that this is the
last play of the year.

Part Of April
RESIDENCE IS
DESTROYED BY
PIRE THURSDAY
Home of A. C. Newman en
North Gay Street
« Burns
Fire that was thought to have or­iginated
from the furnace in the
basement completely destroyed the
residence of A. C. Newman at 3 A.
M. Thursday. The fire was not dis­covered
until the stairway had fall­en,
and the occupants of the second
floor were forced to escape by
means of the windows. Although the
Auburn Fire Department made a
record run, they were unable to do
anything but protect the adjoining
buildings. The water pressure in
that part of town was very low, and
since Pauper Number One was
partially disabled, the firemen were
unable to cope with flames, which
had spread over the entire building
before being discovered. The) dam­age
is estimated at $10,000, and was
•overed by insurance. The greatest
loss was sustained by students wh«
occupied the second floor of the
building.
A chapter has been granted by
Theta Kappa Nu national fraternity
to the Sigma Kappa Nu local frater­nity,
the official notice having been
received during the past week. The
installation of the local as Alabama
Gamma of Theta Kappa Nu will be
held during the latter part of April.
Theta Kappa Nu was founded
April 9, 1924 with ten chapters as
members and the present number of
chapters in the leading colleges and
universities is thirty. There are two
other chapters of the fraternity in
Alabama, Alpha Chapter located at
Howard College and Betta Chapter
at Birmingham - Southern. Other
Southern chapters are located at Rol­lins

First; Those Who Pay Bills
Should Have Roads, Says
Rogers
NOTICE
Lost one ladies gold watch, with
a black ribbon around it. -It was
a Hamden watch, and was lost last
Thursday, probably in the vicinity
of the baseball diamond. Reward
is offered if returned to Miss Mild­red
Locke, at the Practice House. _
NOTICE
All bids for freshman caps, for
next year, must be in the hands of
the mens student council by Tues­day,
March 30. For further infor­mation
see "Bill" Gray, who will also'
relate specifications.
Policy of the state highway com­mission
is to take care first-of Ala­bama
citizens who pay the bills for
road building, John A. Rogers, chair­man
of the commission, declared at
the weekly luncheon of the Auburn
Lion's club. Mr. Rogers, the honor
guest and chief speaker, was intro­duced
by William McD. Moore, a boy
hood friend of Mr. Rogers. Piatt
Boyd, also a member of~the commis­sion
was introduced ,other guests be­ing
Hagood Paterson, of Montgomery
and B. B. Cather, of AshVille.
Senator Rogers explained in detail
the policy of the commission of which
he is chairman. He declared emphat­ically
that he and his associates be­lieve
the people who use the roads
should pay for them and proposed a
three cent tax on gasoline. He urged
support of the proposed $75,000,000,
bond issue and declared that the same
arguments against the proposed issue
that are now being made were agianst
the 525,000,000 issue which has made
possible the present developments in
road building in the state. The speak­er
charged as faulty the recent argu­ments
to the effect that the state
would become bankrupt if the pro­posed
bond issue is voted.
"The state of Alabama was never
more prosperous than it is today,"
Mr. Rogers said. It is spending more
for schools than it ever spent before,
more fcr children's welfare, more for
health, more for old soldiers, more
for roads. It is on the threshold of
the greatest era of prosperity it has
ever known. None of the proposed
*;",.oro,C0O ci bonds shall ever be
sold unless the income from the tax
on gasoline or substitutes is sufficient
to pay the interests on-the bonds and
set up a sinking fund to retire these
bonds when due."
Mr. Rogers said that $11,000,000
worth of road building is going on
today and that,800 miles of additional
road are under construction and will
be finished before the $,25,000,000 is
spent.

SUCCESSFUL MEETING HERE
MILITARY HONOR
SOCIETY ELECTS
JUNIOR MEMBERS
The spring election of Scabbard
and Blade was announced last Sat­urday
at the regular drill period.
Ten men from the Junior class were
selected to carry on the high ideals
of the fraternity. Three men from
the infantry, three from the engi­neers,
and six men from the artil-lerywere
selected. They are as fol­lows:
infantry, Robinson, J. E., Moul-ton,
W. P., Hendrix, Clyde, Jr., en­gineers,
Carter, A. C, Matheison, J.
C, Smith F. A., Artillery, Carter,
R. G., Ingram, F. H., Marks, W. M;
Walker W. A, Caldwell, C G., and
Goode, Bryon C.
The national society of Scabbard
and Blade is an organization for
courses in military training. Com­pany
L of the Fifth Regiment was
established at Auburn in the spring
of 1924. The purpose of the society
is to raise the standards of military
training in American colleges, to
unite in a closer relationship the
the military department, to encourage
the essential qualities of good offi­cers,
and to promote intimacy and
fellowship between the cadets. Mem­bership
is based not only on display
of military efficiency alone, but
also on qualities of character and
manhood.

ARE ' YOU LOYAL TO THE
COLLEGE
On Monday and Tuesday of
next week the regulaf war depart­ment
inspection board will be in
Auburn, to inspect the R. O. T. C.
unit to see if Auburn rates dis­tinguished
college for the seventh
consecutive year. There is keen
'competition among the various
colleges for this great honor, and
Auburn men must do their utmost
to do their best on this date, and
keep the good record, as has been
so nobly kept in the past. The
general appearance of the cadet
corps counts considerably, and it
is strongly urged that all men
wear their uniform well pressed,
shoes shined, collar. ornaments,
and brassards present. Class work
also counts highly, and be. ready
to answer all questions promptly
in your line of work, in a military
manner.
UPPERCLASSMEN
HEAR MAJOR J.E.
HATCH THURS.
AUBURN PROFESSOR DISPLAYS
ABILITY AS INVENTIVE GENIUS
Professor Hixon showed that he
had a sweet tooth, and an inventive
mind as well as a hypnotic person­ality
by inventing an electrically
driven ice cream freezer. Although
he has had the freezer several years,
it was not used much until recently.
The machine was designed and made
by Professor Hixon, and has proven
very efficient. Six quarts of ice
cream can be made in fifteen . or
twenty minutes b,y simply placing
it in the freezer with the usual ice
and salt, and turning on the cur­rent.
A small 110 volt motor-that makes
1750 R. P. M. supplies the motive
force, and is geared down to 60 R.
P. M. by a worm gear. The motor
and speed reducing gear are at­tached
to the top which is on hinges,
and can be turned back to remove
the cream after it has been frozen.
Although there are many electrical­ly
driven freezers on the market,
i that have a direct drive, and will
there are none exactly like this one,
freeze small quantities.
Professor Hixon has "-also inven­ted
several other kitchen appliances
such as a bread mixer and potato
peeler, but neither of these will ap­peal
to the average college student
as the above described luxury.
Majorx John E. Hatch was the
speaker at the convocation exercises
for upper classmen last Thursday, he
spoke in general of the conduct of
the student body at the chapel ex­ercises,
and of the regular war de­partment
inspection, Which will be
held Monday and Tuesday, to see
whether Auburn rates distinguished
college for the seventh consecutive
year.
The speaker requested that all
whispering and reading of period­icals
stop during the addresses of the
speakers. "It is true that the stu­dents
attend convocation because
they are required to do so, but think
of the practical instruction, and the
many good messages that the speak­ers
bring to you. All speakers have
something to say, and you should
give them your undivided attention,
so as to get the full benefits. Be­sides
the special value that you set
from the speeches, you owe it to
the speakers as true Auburn men to
give them your attention. You
woulden't hurt the name of the
school in public if you were con­scious
of the fact, and the same
thing applies to being inattentive to
the invited guests, and convocation
speakers."
Major Hatch further urged the
students to be more careful of
their conduct at the trains, as a man
can create a good or bad impression
of the college, by the way he acts
at the station. "As is generally the
case it is the minority that does the
wrong thing."
In concluding the major told of
the wonderful record Auburn has
made with the war department, by
making distinguished college; six
years. "Roughly speaking there are
between six and seven hundred coll­eges
in the United States, with about
130 have R. O. T. C. units in con­nection
with ;the college work. Many
colleges have several branches of the
units, while others only have one
branch. There are about 80,000
college men enrolled i(t R. O. T. C.
work. The real purpose of the unit
is to train a man for service in case
a national emergency arose. In no
respect does the R. O. T. C. try to
disrupt the college work, or^he work
of the profession that the mSn will
follow later in life."
Dr. Norris Newfield of Birming­ham
was elected president of thfe
Alabama conference of social work
and Gadsden, was selected as the
convention city for next year at the
concluding business session at Au­burn
Tuesday.
Two important resolutions adopt­ed
provided for a legislative com­mittee
to give to the legislature in­formation
concerning the social needs
in Alabama, the 'uvner authorizing
the ne wexecutive committee to
endeavor to bring the next national
conference of social workers to the
South. Mrs. A. M. Tunstall of
Greensboro, was named chairman of
the legislative committee. Dr. Frank
Willis Barnett of Birmingham News, .
spoke on the "Necessity of selling
Alabama to Alabamians"
Following a military review by the
Auburn R. O. T. C. the delegates
went to Tuskegee institute for the
final session. Dr. W. W. Alexander
of Atlanta, addressed the social work­ers
on "The New Science," Dr. Dun­bar
Ogden of Mobile, presided, and
Dr. Robert R. Moton, principal of
Tuskegee institute, welcomed the
delegates. The meeting was called
to order by Miss Elizabeth Fonde
of Mobile, retiring president of the
conference. Entertainment features
at Tuskegee included luncheon, buf­fet
supper, a tour of the institute
buildings and grounds as well as the
United States Veterans' hospital.
Tonight on special train, delegates
returned to their homes in various^
parts of the state. Resolutions unani­mously
adopted by the conference on
Tuesday were to the effect that the
conference was one of the most suc­cessful
conferences held in the his­tory
of the organization. Deep appre­ciation
was expressed to Dr. Spright
Dowell, president Alabama Polytech­nic
Institute, and members of Viis
staff as well as organizations and in­dividuals
in Auburn, Opelika, Lanett,
and Tuskegee, all of whom acted as
hosts to the conference.
The conference opened Sunday af­ternoon
at Auburn, night session was
held at Opelika, the delegates were
entertained at Lanett Monday, session
was held in Auburn again Monday
night and Tuesday. Delegates were
entertained in Auburn throughout the
three-day session through the cour­tesy

TELEPHONE NUMBER 238—W
THE AG JOURNALISM CLASS ISSUE
As a method of getting practical know­ledge
in the journalism field the issue
published last week was published by the
members of the Ag Journalism clas* The
class did all the work in getting up the
news and arranging the paper and it was
a credit to the class and the department
as a whole. Taken in its entirety the
Plainsman appeared to be the work of vet­erans
and the editor and his staff are to
be congratulated for their efforts.
The journalism course was started here
three years ago and much interest has been
manifested in journalism by the students.
The members of the class had charge of
an issue last year and the custom, it is
hoped will be carried out each year. The
students in Journalism have no other way
in which to put into practice the theory
learned in class room work, there being
no newspaper office near enough to war­rant
practical work.
We predict that the Journalism course
at Auburn will continue to develop until
one of the best journalism schools in the
South has developed. The journalism
i -field has been recognized as one of the
broadest fields in the professional world
and now that the course has started here
we should continue its rapid progress.
FACULTY SUPERVISION
Some time ago there appeared an arti­cle
on this page regarding faculty super­vision
of student publications. Our edi­torial
pen was prompted to do this because
of the fact that there were a number of
exchanges reaching this office carrying
stories of student editors having been fir­ed
for the publishing of articles thought
by faculty supervisors to warrant the dis­missal
of these men.
Evidently someone besides the faculty
members are to blame. It is very easy
to see one man's side of the question and
form an opinion and then change it af­ter
both sides have been seen. We have
endeavored to confine our editorials to con­structive
criticisms of things that, in our
juvenile and immature minds, warranted
criticism,' and this without making a radi­cal
sheet of the Plainsman.
To eliminate the necessity of suppress­ing
articles and dismissing students we
suggest that a better cooperation between
the students and faculty supervisors be
effected. This can be accomplished in a
way pleasing to both sides provided a mu­tual
understanding be reached.
The Plainsman staff acted upon their
own initiative in asking for a Faculty Ad­visor,
a fact that proves that our relat-tions
with the faculty are as cordial as
may be found in any institution. Should
the Plainsman finish the year successful­ly
it will have been due in a large way to
the wholehearted support and coopera­tion
of the faculty. There are numbers
of instances that may be called to mind,
one in particular being the High School
Pictorial which the administration made
possible, giving all the credit to the staff.
" THE OLD ORDER CHANGETH
Not so long ago there was a gathering
of notables, governors, lawyers, and men
of rank in both civil and militar yaffairs
of the state and nation. These men had
assembled to pay tribute to one who had
served his people well and had gone to
join "the innumerable caravan." They had
come together on a national holiday, made
almost sacred by the memory of General
Washington. As these worthy men, some
in uniform and some without, exchanged
greetings and reminesences before the ex­ercises
began, an old man clad in the uni­form
of The Confederacy approached them,
stopped, and looked on. He was old, so
old that he tottered, yet he had come out
on Washington's birthday, because it was
a patriotic day and he had worn his gray
uniform because it probably revived old
and perhaps dear memories. The vetran
of the greatest civil war of History wore
a bronze medal over his heart. No man
spoke to him nor no one offered to help
him up the steps, yet he climbed them one
by one. The old man went his way and
was swallowed up by the crowd.
Such is life today. Honor, Chivalry, and
reasons are overwhelmed by greed, wealth,
lust for power, and publicity. In society,
in business, anywhere and everywhere, it
seems that today the battle cry is more
than ever, "Every man for himself." A
little sober thought, some retrospection
would probably help a few individuals, but
could a nation be converted?
"The boast of heraldry, the pomp of
power,
And all that beauty, all that wealth e'er
gave,
Awaits alike the inevitable hour.
The paths of glory lead but to the
grave."

to marry men who are their superiors; but
for college women there are no such men;
hence they rarely marry. The case for
men is almost the same for men, as a
class choose to marry women somewhat
inferior to themselves; but as college men
can find no such women, they do not of­ten
marry."

An actual clipping from a letter writ­ten
by a fair hand to an Auburn student,
"Frederick, I want to ask you something.
I had a date tonight with a boy who gra­duated
from the University and do you
know what he had the nerve to tell me
that the boys at Auburn went barefooted.
They really don't, do they? I stood up
for Auburn however and think I finally
convinced him that he was wrong."
The picture show slipped one over on us
Monday night and did it with style. .It
was bad enough with one Pathe news per

our credit. It is a good thing the majori­ty
of the students can appreciate a good
joke, however.
A very select organization has been
formed on the Auburn campus within the
last few days and so far not very many
are wise to it yet. At present this organi­zation
is only local but with time it should
branch out and become a national organi­zation.
This new organization goes un­der
the name of "Pistol and Holster" and
although it has not become well known so
far it shows promise of advancement. The
enrollment is not very large, but is very
select.
Another has joined the list that go to
make up the "Zoo Entertainers." Joe

"Doc" Heinz has joined the "Opelika
Entertainers" during the past few days
and almost every week end you see him
winding his way toward Opelika to give
all the girls a treat. Something must be
done or we will all be lost because with
"Doc" on the trail he eliminates all op­ponents.
One of the Co-eds could not figure out
where that school named "Infantry" came
from. I think she finally decided that it
must have been a denominational school
and it just happened that she had never

Several students should have easy riding
the rest of the year. I should say some
of the students who have classes under
Prof. Fullan. The professor's car became
stuck last Sunday afternoon on one of
the Auburn streets but did not stay there
long because it was not long before about
thirty students were gathered. After much
labor he was finally freed from the mud
and the only requirements the boys made
was that he remember their names on the
next quizz.
But someone pipes up that that is not
the trouble with the pride of Gordo (syn­onymous
with Marion Junction). The the­ory
that there is something deeper seems
to be the case, as he meandors around the

something that sounds like dots and dash­es.

Your Efficiency
Considerable study has been given o/f
late as to the various ways of teaching.
Some of these ways are more applicable
to certain persons than others. It is true
of course that one way will not apply to
all with the same degree of success. But
with all this study into the ways and means
of making a man learn there is no one who
knows more about it than yourself.
What is your efficiency as a thinking
machine. This may sound rather high ton­ed
at first but stop to think how fundamen­tal
it is. Strength and health are neces­sary
prerequisites to the doing of great
things in this world, but even if you have
those two thing and are unable to think,
you will not go very far.
What do we mean by efficiency as a
thinking machine. That does not mean
that you have to be able to see all things
in order to be efficient. There are many
brilliant men in the world today who do
not know the price of eggs. What is
meant by that efficiency is for a given
amount of studying, either from books
or from practice, how much can you ac­quire
as a working unit of your intelli­gence.
That is are you able to read a
thing and later use that knowledge to
good cause.
It is upon this faculty that success de­pends
largely. That is where the success
comes in life. There are of course excep­tions
to this rule. Many men have made
»fame and fortune by accident, but their
day is passing, and we moderns must use
our brains.
As a practical test of this faculty try
to remember all the useful things that
you have heard in the various conversa­tions
during the last week. It will be a
surprise to some to find out just how lit­tle
they do remember.
The Battle
A battle royal has broken out upon the
campus. There are no definite sides and
as far as we can see no definite aims but
just the same "Theres a Reason." The
main question as far as it can be discern­ed
is whether to go to Montgomery for
the week-end or to go to Columbus. (Some
still prefer Opelika.)
The would be rich and the idle poor are
still debating this genteel question. Witness
upon witness is rushed upon the stand to
prove the case, but hush, and we will tell
you a secret—(all the witnesses are girls.)
So the war devolves into the question
of girls, and we leave, before we get hurt.
But just the same we would like to hear
from some of these ardent supporters of
neighboring cities, and get their views as
to the respective merits of their various
girls home towns, (and about the girls
in private).
Rambling Around
One does not realize what a rut he gets
into at college until he takes a Sunday
walk. It is a strange thing but the street
that we live on and the various routes to
the college are the only streets that we
use to any extent. It is a common custom
to hear a sophomore or junior say that
this is the first time that he has been on
this street for a year.
To people not in college it must seem
as though college would be the place to
get away from getting in a rut. But we
do it just the same. Get up at the same
time every morning, go to the same classes
by the same route and study at the same
time and do most everything at the same
time every day." In fact there are very
few variations in the college life. But this
fact should not hinder the student in get­ting
acquainted with the town that he
lives in.' There are many pretty places
around and about Auburn. Many places
that are worth seeing before you graduate.
Greek Meets Greek
In a fraternity house last week the fol­lowing
dialogue took place. The tinie is
eight minutes to eight of a cold and raw
morning. One sleepy and tousled young
man darts into the hall to wash and runs
into another would be wash hound. "You
blankety blank half baked,?/*???&$&*&—

the other students rushing to class came
the sweet reply, "Good Morning, Brother."

But neither can you tell the boy by the

E. W. Loomis started

before him.
Across the corn nar­rows,
however, he would

Loomis determined he would be.

and engineering, why not
go in for the sale of electrical

took the student course—then
off to the New York Office as a

He worked—he always had—
both on the farm and in college.
In three years he was head of a

is barely eleven years since the

DOES THE CAMPUS GIVE
A FAIR CHANCE TO ALL
The big question before all col­leges
and universities today is
whether the democratic ideal of
equal opportunity prevails. If it is
to exist anywhere it certainly should
be present at the American institu­tions
of learning. Auburn is one of
the most democratic colleges in the
world, but there is still room for
vast improvement along this line.
There are certain individuals and
groups at Auburn that fail to be
given the right chance, in other
words, the breaks are all against
them. The gang spirit is s,till preva­lent
here, and if a man is not in
with the gang he is out of luck.
There are men that enter Auburn
fresh from high school, that have un­limited
possibilities in business, ath­letic
and literary lines, but for the
lack of encouragement they fail to
be developed. Of course many say
that if a man has the ability he will
show it, and make good regardless
of all odds against him. A little
kind word of encouragement goes

a long ways in spurring a newcomer
on. Many men have not the initia­tive
to do great things, but the abil­ity
is strong. Men that have initia­tive
should not hesitate to pass it
along to others that lack it.
Until recently high school athlet­es
entering Auburn were not given
a fair chance, as the number was
too large for the coaches to handle,
and to give individual attention to
each man was quite out of the ques­tion.
If a man did not possess a
good record while in a preparatory
school, he had slim chances of mak­ing
the team. This condition has
been greatly remedied by the recent
addition of two new coaches, and
each man entering Auburn will have
a much greater opportunity to show
his stuff in the future. With over
a hundred freshmen out for the try-outs,
it has been next to impossible
to - select men to represent the col­lege.
Some men enter Auburn that have
all the marks and promises of making
good men, but if they did not have
a father, brother, or close friend
who belonged to certain organiza­tions
they are out of luck. Men that
do make societies, many times iso­late
themselves and remain so their
entire four years in college. It is
charged that many frat men do not
know over a hundred men outside of
their particular frat house. This
condition certainly should be reme­died,
as it is hard to believe that this
befits a true Auburn man, where
each student generally knows each
other, and greets him on the street.
One of the best ways for a man to
be recognized along religious lines
is for him to join a Bible discussion
group, and become connected with
this great phase of campus work.
When a man becomes a student of
the scriptures, he is soon known for
his agility, and an otherwise un­known
man is quickly brought to the
limelight.
All men are not given an oppor­tunity

Auburn was well represented at
the third annual meeting of the
Alabama Academy of Science held in
Birmingham Thursday and Friday of
this week, Dr. Wright A. Gardner,
head of the Botany Department, is
president of the association.
Those on the program from Au­burn
were Dr. B. B. Ross, Dr. E. R.
Miller, and Professor J. F. Duggar.
This meeting was held at Phillips
High School in Birmingham and was
the third annual meeting to be held.
The Alabama Academy of Science
was. organized in 1924 through the
efforts of Dr. Gardner and other
scientists of the state. It was
through the efforts and letter writ­ing
of Dr. Gardner that this organi­zation
was first started.
The purpose of this association is
to keep the spark of research alive
and to act as a stimulus to foster
and encourage more research work.
This association is an organization
of the leading scientists of the state
and is comprised of the leading re­search
workers and professors of the
state.
If you can keep your tongue in
school, when all about
Are airing theirs on latest hose
and shoes;
If you can trust your voice when
all men doubt it,
And make allowance for their dou-thing
too;
If you can wait upon a sad appoint­ment
With teacher by her class room
door,
And know that heartless, loveless
creature
Will keep you beyond the hour of
of four—
If you can wait and not be tired
of waiting,
Or being kept because you pulled
a "pun,"
If you can keep on calmly smiling
And all the time you know you'll
miss the fun;
If you can't learn don't worry—
'tis human nature;
If you can't think, I'm sure you're
not to blame;
If you can't meet with history and
biology,
And treat those two imposters
just the same;
If you can't bear to hear the slang
you've spoken

Bengals Cinch Game In Third When Bulldogs
Bobble Three Times, Three Runs Scoring
The Auburn Tigers, aided by mis-cues
on the part of the Bulldog in-fielders,
at critical moments came
from behind in the seventh to reg­ister
a trio of runs and came out on
the long end of a six to two score
against the University of Georgia
Wednesday afternoon.
In winning this game against one
of the outstanding base ball aggre­gations
in the South, the Tigers com­posed
mostly of Sophomores, proved
that Morey has a real ball club in
the making. The Bulldog nine con­sisted
of men who had it on the Tig­ers
in experience only, though the
said experience did not seem to
count for much in that wild seventh
frame when the innerworks went
completely up in the air and allowed
the Tigers to score three ones with­out
a hit.
The Tigers played through -the
eight and one half innings like a
good outfit should, keeping on their
toes and taking advantage of every
break. The Tigers came from ar­rears
to knot the issue in the sixth
inning when Joe Wallis came to bat
with two men out and Ellis on third.
This was perhaps the crucial mom­ent
of the game. Wallis lined out a
beautiful single over second, scoring
Ellis. Not only did this hit score the
tieing run but it gave the Tigers an
added degree of confidence because
it proved that the green Jungaleer
outfit could go up against one of
the best machines in this neck of
the woods and at least hold its own.
Waller, Bulldog moundsmen, twirl-er
a hard luck game throughout, the
Tigers garnering but six safe blows
off his delivery. The Athenians had
men on the sacks in every round ex­cepting
the eighth. Three double kill­ings
and fast work on the part of
the Tiger inner defense pulled Dog
Face Sheridan, Bengal hurler, out of
hot water when it seemed that Geor­gia
was about to tally.
The Jungaleers drew first blood in
the initial frame. Buck Ellis was
given life at first when Richardson
fumbled his grounder. Ellis pilfered
second and scampered across for the
tally when Waller chucked Hitch­cock's
slow roller wildly to first. A
fast double play Middlebrooks to
Tully ended the inning.
The Bulldogs went into the lead
in^ the third stanza when a couple of
hits and as many walks were suffi­cient
for two counters. Waller work­ed
Sheridan for a pass. Arnowitch
delivered a clean single into left
sending Wilier to second. Satloff
whiffed, but Richardson was given
four wide ones and the bases were
filled. Moore uncorked a hot one
over third base and Waller rode in.
With the bases still loaded Sheridan
heaved a wild one and Arnowitch
croissed the platter. Middlebrooks
ended the inning by popping up to
Sankey.
The Bulldogs maintained their sin­gle
run lead until the sixth when the
Tigers tied the count. Ellis started
the inning by drawing free transpor­tation.
Stewart sent out the longest
drive of the day, Arnowitch leaning
back over the dump in right field
to make a beautiful catch,
cock rolled out but Wallis smashed
a~xlean drive over the keystone and
Ellis scored, the tieing run.
This ended the scoring until the
disastrous seventh, when the Morey-men
put over a trio of counters with­out
the aid of a single hit. E. James
drew a pass. Sankey went out. E.
James was passed. With two men
out Ellis was safe at first when Tully
missed Satloff's throw, filling the'
bases. Satloff stepped on Stewart's
roller allowing F. James and E. James
to tally. Middlebrooks made a good
stop of Hitchcock's rap, but tossed
the ball out of Tully's reach enabl­ing
Ellis to score. Satloff took Wal­lis'
roller and tossed him out at first,
Baseball
Tennis
Golf
landing the inning.
The Tigers got their last tally in
the eighth when Akin crashed a doub­le
into right and came in later when
Sankey drove a single into center.'
The Bulldogs had several chances
to tally during the game but failed
to deliver in the pinches.
Arnowitch and Middlebr.ooks were
the leading swatters for the Geor­gians
each with a couple of blows in
four trips. Hitchcock and Wallis
each got a couple for the Tigers.
In the second inning Tully, Bull­dog
first sacker was called out for
having batted out of order. He had
previously worked Dog face for a
base on balls.
Though the Bulldogs found Sheri­dan
for nine hits, he kept them well
distributed. The Tiger moundsmen
whiffed nine men, ending the game
by striking out the last three men to
face him in the ninth.

:;ame for the Tigers, Tuesday, after­noon,
let the Ft. Benning Infantry-

Plainsmen winning their fourth
straight game from' the Soldiers, five
to one. Potter' kept the enemy blows
well distributed, the Benningites fail­ing
to connect twice in any one in-ningv
"*"
The Tigers crossed the plate ia,
each of the first three innings. The
first Bengal tally came when "Geech-ie"
Stewart connected with one of
Carnes' offerings, sending the ball
into deep center for the ch'cuit. In
the second frame Fobb James got
a single into right, swiped the key
stone, and rode ii) when Ebb James
bounced a' long single into right. Pot­ter
duplicated F. James' performance
in the third inning when the Tiger
Old Jupiter Pluvious, as he has
done manj' times in the past put an
end to the Georgia contest after but
one inning had been completed. Rain
has played a prominent part in every
Georgia game played on the campus
for the past four or "five seasons.
Last year old Jupe held up a bit un­til
after the games were completed,
but while they were playing the
ground was too wet for a display of
any real baseball.
The game Thursday afternoon be­gan
to take on the proportions of a
twirler's duel. Hardwick, who was
the mound choice of Morey was go­ing
great when the rain interfered.
Two Georgians were out when the"
contest wqs called.
-This ends the games booked for
the campus until April 5, when
Michigan is scheduled to make its
appearance.
The Tigers will adjourn to Mobile
next week where they will take on
Spring Hill Tuesday afternoon. On
Wednesday they will hop over to
New Orleans where they will meet
Loyola in a pair of games Wednes­day
and Thursday. On Friday they
will still be in the Crescent City but
will-meet the Tulane Greenies. This
will be, the first time in several
years that these two have'met on the
diamond.
On the week of April 5th, the
promises is, quite an attractive dia­mond
menu for the campus follow­ers.
The Tigers' start the week off
meeting Michigan. On Tuesday and
Wednesday Clemson Tigers will be
entertained. Thursday and Friday the
Coach Brown's Rats will have their
day, when they meet the Baby Yel­low
Jackets.
twirler singled stole second and com­pleted
the circuit on Hitchcock's hit
to left.
The Benningites did not get an
earned run off Potter, their only tally
coming as a result of an error. Dur-bin
smashed a three ply swat into
center, and came in when F. James
allowed Kglestrom's roller to escape
him at first.
The Tigers raised their total to
five in the seventh frame as a result
of a couple of two-base wallops and
an error. Self was safe when Cum-mings
let the ball get past him. F.
James hit a two bagger into right,
Self advancing to third. Sankey
rolled out, but E. Jairies delivered
a two cushion swat into right scor­ing
both Self and F. James.
Potter kept the opponents popping
up and hitting easy rollers to the
infield and the Infantrymen failed
to tally after the fourth stanza.
The feature of the game was
Stewart's runing barehanded stop
of Smythe's drive in the fourth in­ning,
the Tiger captain also making
a beautiful throw to get his man at
first.

Ebb James takes the lead in the
Tiger batting list. James has been
doing some creditable work while
operating in rear of the mask and
wind pad. In the five games, played
so far, only two members of the op­position
have ventured along, the
forbidden path that leads to the key­stone,
and have gotten away with it.
Our own little Red Griffin turned
the trick while playing with the
Barons, and the Georgia third sack­er,
Middlebrooks, negotiated the dis­tance
safely in Wednesday's con­test.

Tigers Cop Second
Game at Benning
In a rather loosely played con­test
the Bengals copped their sec­ond
straight game over the Ft. Ben­ning
Infantrymen Saturday, 14 tol2.
The game was the final one of the
two game affair at Ft. Benning.
The Tigers opened up with all
guns in the first frame, grabbing an
early lead which was never overcome
Five safe wallops in the initial in­ning
including a double by Geechie
Stewart proved sufficient to send
the Infantry hurler to the showers
and enable five men to cross the
platter.
Not content with a five run lead
the Tigers proceeded to come back
for the second inning when they tal­lied
three more times. Stewart, who
had doubled in his first time up, un­loaded
a triple this time. Two hits
and a couple of walks resulted in
the afore-mentioned tallies.
Two more Tigers came around in
the fourth when Wallis crashed a
double, and came the rest of the way
around when Akin proceeded to bust
one for the circuit.
Hughes, who went the first eight
and two-thirds innings for the Ti­gers,
was a bit wild, giving eleven
Infantrymen a free trip to the ini­tial
sack. He was relieved in the
ninth by Sheridan.
The game was a typical contest
of the slugging variety, with the Ti­gers
getting 19 hits out of a total
of 28 for the afternoon's work. Ste­wart
was the leading ash wielder for
the Tigers, the Bengal captain and
second baseman connecting with the
pill for two doubles and one three
ply swat.

Tiger Batting List
Ebb James, who is a member of
the Tiger so-called sophomore team,
and who just came up from Kirk
Newell's Freshman squad of last
year, is blazing the way for his mates
in the batting list. In the half dozen
games in which he has played, Ebb
has appeared i t the plate 21 times,
bagging seven hits for .an average of
.333. Kangaroo Buck Ellis is second
from point of games played. Ellis
has an average of .308.
The team average is rather low at
present, being only .262. However,
it should pick up a bit later on in the
season, and we're winning the games
anyhow.

Casual Comment
Five games in a row is a feat not
to be sneezed at, especially when the
record was compiled by a squad com­posed
of six sophomores. Four
straight victories were chalked up
over the Ft. Benning outfit, which
is considerably better than what the
team did last year.
It is our humble opinion that
Morey's baseball aggregation is go­ing
to cut a wide swath in the old
conference race this year and for a
couple more seasons to come. Each
member of the Bengal quintet of
twirlers has annexed a game to date.
Sheridan, Hardwick, Hughes, Moul­ton,
and Potter, are the boys who
turned the trick.
There has ben a nifty display of
fancy fielding in the outer gardens.
Nietzke's great catch of Hitchcock's
drive in the first game of the season
takes the apples. Arnewitch's beau­tiful
catch on the edge of the right
field dump, when he gathered in
Geechie Stewart's long parabola, is
deesrving of honorable mention.
Hitchcock and Stewart have also dis­played
bits of classy stuff.

Dude Hardwick
Wins His First
Game For Tigers
The Auburn Tigers took tne Ft.
Benning Soldiers in tow here Monday
afternoon, in a rather slow and fea­tureless
game. Dude Hardwick tak­ing
the mound for his Alma Mater
for the first time whiffed the horse-hide
by the opposing batsmen in great
style considering the fact that a slow,
steady drizzle of rain was falling
constantly. The game was an abbre­viated
affair, being called at the end
of the seventh on account of dark­ness.
The Soldiers were first to score in
the first inning when Smythe singled
into center, went to second on an er­ror
by Ellis and scored on Durbin's
double to right.
The Tigers took a commanding
lead in the first inning when they
chalked up half a dozen tallies. A
couple of walks, a single by Hitch­cock,
a double by Wallis, and three
errors by Durbin enabled the Ben­gals
to tally. The Plainsmen scored
again in the second when Hitchcock
singled, went to second on a fielder's
choice, and crossed the plate, when
Durbin muffed Akin's grounder.
The Benningites scored in the
fourth with Kglestrom doubling to
center and coming in on Kglestrom's
double to right. The final two runs
of the Soldiers were made in the
sixth stanza, when Douglas singled
into right and scored when Kglestrom
clouted a four base smash into deep
center field.
The Tigers registered three addi­tional
markers in the seventh. Singles
by Fobb James and Ben Sankey fol­lowed
by errors by Durbin and
Buck, doing the work.
The Infantrymen seemed hamper­ed
by the damp, drizzley weather.
They kicked the ball all over the
infield, making eight errors. Durbin
hobbled the sphere on five occasions
out of ten chances.
Fobb and Ebb James, sophomore
twins, who are both playing their first
season for the Tigers were the chief
ash wielders of the afternoon. Fobb
connected for a single and double
in three trips while his brother en­joyed
a perfect day with three hits
in as many attempts.
Durbin, of Fort Benning garnered
two of the five hits made by his team,
one of the blows going for a triple
in the fourth inning.

SOCIETY MEETS
PLANS LAID FOR
NEXT AG. FAIR
The regular meeting of the Ag
, C l u b Wednesday night was feature'd
by the election of the sophomore
members for the Junior Board of
Control of The Alabama Farmer for
next year.
J. W. Stewart and G. S. Williams
were the next year's juniors who
will be the guiding hand of the pub­lication
two years from now. Other
important business attended to was
the election of the officers who w i l l i ^ ' e kept, on them to enable the De
marketing a success in this state.
Prof. Good gave a very interest­ing
and instructive -talk on the mi­gratory
habits of birds. He brought
out some interesting facts in regard
to migration of birds from South
America all the way to northern
Canada and some of the peculiar ha­bits
of our feathered friends on their
migratory flights. "Some species fly
approximately 22,000 miles <a year
to raise their young," the speaker de­clared.
Prof. Good also told some­thing
of the work the United States
Biological Survey is doing towards
banding birds and the way records
have control of the Ag Fair next
year. The Ag Fair is always one
of the gala days on the Ag campus
and so much interest has been mani­fested
the last year or two that an
annual half-holiday is given for the
Ags to show their stuff. The offi­cers
are chosen this year in order
t h a t they might hajpe plenty of time
to get ready for it next fall, J. M.
Herren, manager; Bro' John Garrett,
Asst' manager, and J. D. Tucker
sophomore asst. manager were the
officers chosen by the club to put
the Fair over.
Preceding the election of officers, | —
W. M. Reeder gave a brief talk on j After the preliminaries of t h e meet-
"Cooperative Marketing of Eggs," ing and attending to some of t h e bus-in
which he pointed out the future iness, the Society of American Mili-of
the egg industry in Alabama and t a r y Engineers were instructively
what the local poultry specialists are entertained by a talk from Capt.
partment to learn something of the
habits and life history of our na­tive
birds.
The committee which had been ap­pointed
to investigate the posibility
of staging an Ag dance just after
the Ag banquet, made a favorable
report and the chances are that the
'first and only' Ag dance of the sea­son
will soon be a reality.

The Evans Literary Society held
its regular meeting last Monday night
at 7:00.
The representative from the Evans
in the Oratorical Contest will be se­lected
next Monday night. All who
mean to t r y out for this honor will
please be prepared to render their
oration next Monday night, as this
will be the only chance to t r y out
for it.
After the business was attended
to, Mr. Grant gave a very good talk
on his "Auburn Gripe." He isn't fond
of first hour classes, but he feels
that they will help him to form good
habits.
We were then favored with a talk,
on Literary Societies, by Dr. Tay­lor.
He says that our Grandfathers
took more interest in Literary So­ciety
work than we, because they had
no other form of entertainment. Now,
our interests go to other activities
on the campus. Literary Societies
are supposed to give the students
that which their classes do not. It
develops self, enriches the individu­al,
causes a deeper search for t r u th
and knowledge, sharpens control so
as to get through the thickets head,
causes one to think quickly, and get
the thought of the other person, and
meet it. Debating is good, for it
helps one to learn to tell the dif­ference
between real argument and
good evidence. Opinion isn't im­portant,
fact is. The world pays
when it gets what it wants.
We invite Dr. Taylor to visit us
again. He was t h e primary founder
of our society.
Engineer R. O. T. C. room on Monday
night. As a starter to the program
J. W. Scott read a poem entitled
"The R. O. T. C." which proved to
be interesting.
The subject of the talk by Capt.
Althaus was "The Operations of the
37th Division in Belgium During the
World War." This was one of the
two American Divisions operating in
Belgium and was one of the phases
of the American fighting in which
Capt. Althaus played a part.
He told about the transportation of
the Division to the sector in and
about Ypres the "No Man's Land"
of which was found to be a place of
absolute desolation where only print­ed
signs marked what had formerly
been towns. He also related how
they were received by the Belgians
who called them "The Saviors of
Belgium."
The American troops were used
to relieve the worn out French troops
who had been fighting there so long.
Capt. Althaus outlined the plan of
attack and then in an interesting
way described what happened during
the fighting, giving some of the hu­morous
side of the war as well as
the tragic and technical aspect, up
to the time of the armistice.
After this talk which all agreed
was one of the most interesting given
the Society this year the meeting
adjourned.
A.S.M.E. TO HAVE
BULLETIN BOARD
Probably most of the engineering
students have noticed the A. S. M. E.
Bulletin .Board at the top of the
stairs on the second floor of Ramsay
Hall. The emblem is a perfect re­production
of the Auburn Student
Chapter's Pin. Below the emblem
a space is provided for announce­ments,
and t h r u this medium the so­ciety
posts its meeting dates, and also
any other notices or l i t e r a t u r e of t he
society or of the Mechanical Stu­dents.
The idea was presented by W. C.
Clisby some time ago. C. W. Bilbe
began work on the design immediate­ly
after the problem presented it­self,
and in a very reasonably short
time came forth with the perfect pro­duct.
This work only exemplifies
Bilbe's other achievements. When
we stop to think, it is easily noted
that the design and painting of the
board was not a very easy task. It
took time and patience. For this very
excellent work the society wishes to
thenk the producer, C. W. Bilbe.
PENN. MAN TO
VISIT A. S. M. E.
Professor W. H. Kavanaugh of the
University of Pennsylvania, will be
in Auburn on Monday, March 29 to
visit the Auburn Student Chapter of
the A. S. M. E.
For some time now the society
has been looking forward to this
pleasure. We all feel that our visi­tor
is going to bring a mesasge that
will be benefitial and instructive,
as well as interesting. Probably some
criticisms and suggestions will be
made that will aid us in the progress
of our chapter.
Professor Kavanaugh will speak
Monday afternoon. At present the
writer feels that some provision will
be made to allow all Mechanical stu­dents
to attend the lecture. Watch
for announcements.
The next regular meeting of the
society will be held on Wednesday,
March 31, a t 7 P. M. Ramsay Hall.
Subjects for discussion will be "Oils"
and "Highway Drafting in Alabama."
All Mechanicals are urged to at­tend.
When old grads
drop in—and around the
fire experiences of then
are fondly retold
—have a Camel!
WHEN famed men re-turn.
And by dancing
firelight they relate their
stories of old — have a
Camel!
For Camel helps all
men who rise proudly to
rise higher and more
jauntily. Camels never
harm or tire your taste,
no matter how plentifully
you smoke them. You'll
never find more friendly
flavor than you get in
Camels.
So this night when
those from long ago re- .
turn to think of the
roads that join. As y ou
see in their past your
future unfold, then zest­fully
taste the smoke
t h a t ' s p r i z e d by t he
world's experienced.
Have a Camel!
v
Into the making of this one cigarette goes all of the ability
of the world's largest organization of expert tobacco men.
Nothing is too good for Camels. The choicest Turkish and
Domestic tobaccos. The most skilful blending. The most
scientific package. No other cigarette made is like Camels.
No better cigarette can be made. Camels are the over­whelming
choice of experienced smokers.

The society opened its regular
weekly meeting with a lively discus­sion
of the joint banquet plans, al­though
definite has been deoided as
yet. Jack N. Nelms was appointed
to serve as the representative of t he
society on the joint banquet commit­tee.
The program committee an­nounced
that two or t h r e e films would
be shown at meetings in the near fu­ture.
Prof. A. L. Thomas was the main
speaker, speaking on "Finance" to
the audience. The modern methods
of credit, he said, make it much eas­ier
for t h e young man to get a good
s t a r t in life, emphasizing the great
importance of building up creditas
soonaspossible. He explained care­fully
and .completely, the modern
banking, checking and credit systems,
used in the world of finance today.
According to Professor Thomas, nine­ty-
five per cent of the business of
the world is done on credit. 'The
talk gave the society a better in­sight
on the money problems that
are likely to come up before us in
a few years.

IT DESTROYS THE GERMS
A series of events comprised the
program of the Wilsonian Literary
society last Tuesday night. The t ry
outs for the oratorical contest was
postponed until next meeting in or­der
to give a larger number a bet­ter
chance to t r y *out.
Supan Lipscomb was t h e first num­ber
on the program. She spoke on
"What I Think of the Auburn Boys"
in which she gave in beautiful words
her reminiscences of her girlhood
days and the entertainments she had
with the students.
A jokesmith was on the job. and
a few side spliting laughts was ex­pounded
by M. H. Simmons. L. L.
Thompson gave an interesting talk
on "Making Americans In Hawaii."
Thompson brought out the fact that
through education the Hawaiians
have been Americanized.
Neida Martin presented an inter­esting
lecture on "The Method of i
Teaching History in the Public
Schools of Today." Neida emphasi­zed
the fact that pupils of the gram­mar
schools are taught history by
the working out of projects and as­sociating
them with history instead
of remembering so many dates.
Several impromptu speeches were
made. Edna Creel spoke on "Why
I Like Red Hair." Edna said, "It is
said that a person likes something
they don't have and I reckon that is
the reason I like red hair." W. B.
Bowling and G. B. Phillips also tend­ed
a few lines of highly pribed ora­tory.
y
A basketball game between the
Websterians and Wilsonian will take
place next Tuesday night at 8 o'­clock
at the gym. Everyone is cordi­ally
invited to attend as the admis­sion
price will be free.
At the next meeting, the elections
of officers will take place. Every
member should be present, and in
the meantime should drop by and
see the secretary and give her fifty
cents as only paid up members can
vote.

CHI DELTA PHI
TO TAKE PART IN
STORY JX)NTEST
Chi Delta Phi held its bi­monthly
meeting on Saturday after­noon.
> Due to the absence of the
president; Miss Eula Hester vice pres­ident,
presided over the meeting.
After the business of the meeting
was dispensed with, a vary inter­esting
program was carried out by
the new initiates. "
The program consisted of the read­ing
of the poems and short stories
written by the initiates as their try-
> out writings. Miss Annamerle Arant
read her short story which was ex­ceedingly
humorous. Then Miss
Caroline Betts read a short essay on
"Rudyard Kipling." A short poem
entitled "Even So" was given by Miss
Dot Taylor. This concluded the pro­gram
for the afternoon." ,
Cfii Delta Phi is putting on a poem
contest in the near future and many
of. the girls in the local chapter are
planning to participate. Also Sigma'
Upsilon, the brother fraternity of the
Chi Delta Phi, puts on annually a
short story contest. Many of the
members are working for this. The
prize to be awarded is an honorary
membership in Sigma Upsilon. We
hope that there will be, if not this
year at least sometime in the years
of the near future, an honorary mem­ber
in Sigma Upsilon from Omega
chapter of Chi Delta Phi.
SOCIAL WORKERS CLOSE
SUCCESSFUL MEETING HERE
SECOND COUGAR
CUB DIES HERE
The Cougar Cub which was given
to the student body by an Auburn
man in South America died during
the recent cold cold spell. The Cub
was christened "Chico" soon upon
his arrival and was adopted as the
mascot of the football teams. This
was the second Cub to be given to
the student body. The first Cub
was also from an Auburn man in
South America but the jungle beast
could not survive the cold weather
here and he also died soon after
reaching here.
The Cougar is a cousin of the Ti­ger,
and was- as near a red tiger as
could be transported from the wilds
£ South America with safety. It
is the general belief that an older
animal than the one that just died
could survive the colder weather and
plans are being made to arrange for
one to be secured to make the foot­ball
trips next year.
HIGH SCHOOLS
TO BROADCAST
An invitation will be extended to
every high school in the state by
station WAPI to broadcast any pro­gram
they wish to present. This idea
was suggested by Hon. Harry Herz-feld
of Alexander City, a trustee of
college. All the programs will be
presented in the studio in Comer
Hall.
A silver loving cup will be given
by Mr. Herzfeld to the high school
that presents the best program in
this contest. All details of this high
school broadcasting program con­test
has not been worked out, but
some feasible plan will be used to
determine the winner of this cup.
These programs are to start some
time next fall as it is too late for
such a number to take place this year.
WIOD AND WAPI
TO COOPERATE
A letter has been received from
station WIOD of Miami, Florida by
station WAPI stating that they will
not broadcast any programs in the
future during the hours that WAPI
is on the air. Heretofore, both sta­tions
have been broadcasting at the
same hours, and as they have been
interfering with each other in broad­casting
programs in the past.
This letter expressed a fine spirit
of cooperation on the part of station
WIOD. This change will become ef­fective
at once. This interference
has been a serious handicap in the
past, and it is hoped that WAPI will
be able to broadcast a clearer pro­gram
in the future without any in­terference.

named in these resolutions.
Be it further resolved that inas­much
as this conference does not
convene before another state legis­lature
meets, a legislative committee
be arranged by the new president to
bring before the conference the in­formation
of legislative needs for the
ongoing and progress of welfare
work in Alabama.
The Evans Literary Society-held
its regular weekly meeting in room
301, main building last Monday
night.
After the secretary had read a
passage from the Bible, a bit of time
was given over to the discussion of
the inter-society basketball tourna­ment
which is to come off in a few
weeks. The Evans won the title last
year, and they are hoping to hold it
this year. '<
Rat Home gave a very interesting
talk on' "Americans try to surpass
the Pyramids." The theme of his
talk was the Stone Mountain Memor­ial.
He told us that the Egyptian
Sphinx could rest on the shoulders
of General Lees' figure and then not
reach more than the top of his head.
He said that a six foot man could
rest on the top of Lees' collar and
not reach to the top of his eye.
Givhann gave a very interesting
talk on the life and wqrks of Mark
Twain.
Tucker gave a very thorough re­view
of the Weeks news over the
world. He mentioned the fact that t h i s country to be regarded as the
"Has there come to pass in the
United States a condition of society
where the popular majority would
rather see cold blooded murderers
walking free than in close, confine­ment
in the penitentiaries?" Such
was the substance of the remarks
made by Judge Walter B. Jones,
former Auburn student, and present
judge of the fifteenth judicial cir­cuit
of Montgomery, at the convoca­tion
exercise for upper classmen.
"The supreme issue of today is
what to do about lawlessness. There
are 150,000 murderers walking
around free in the United States,
and at the same time $5,000,000,000
is being spent annually by this coun­try
in the execution of the law. Here
in Alabama, as in the other states,
we are trying to enforce the law un­der
obsolete rules and regulations.
"One of the nauseating and dis­gusting
things about the attempt to
enforce the law is the sentiment dis­played
in behalf of the criminal by
many of our intelligent men and wo­men
and in newspaper headlines and
stories. I have seen good citizens
carry flowers into the cell of the
cold-blooded murderer and I have
about reached the^ conclusion from
my observations along this line -that
99 persons sympathize with the
criminal, whereas one sympathizes
with the widow and children of the
man who has been slain. In Mont­gomery,
for instance, certain per­sons
tried to make out that the mur­derer
Bailey was an angel.
"The question naturally arises. To
what extent does this coddling and
pampering of confessed and proven
offenders affect the prevalence of
crime in America?
"Something obviously has caused
the Italian debt has been settled so
far as the House of Representatives
is concerned. He also told of the
Mexicans' running the foreign mis­sionaries
out of their country. He
said that France had passed England
in the Radio World of activities.
Turner told of the great burden
of the White Man. He told us of
our obligations to the Indians and
the Negroes, both in an educational
and a moral way.
Rat Walters talked on the pro­blems
of bridge building, and Rat
Miller told us of his worst "Gripes."
We claim to have the best 'critic
in Auburn. Alston gave praise to
the on§s whom he thought deserved
it, and tore into those whose talks
were not well connected.

"The situation in Alabama is
shameful. Under the law, in its ten­derness
for the accused, he is allowed
two "strikes" on the jury panel to
the one of the state. In other words
while the state is trying merely to
get a fair jury that will return a
verdict on the law and the evidence,
the defense is figuring on getting at
least one "sinker" on the jury who
may hang it up and cause a mistrial.
Delay is the right-hand bower of
the criminal lawyer. Witnesses die,
move away, change their testimony;
time occasionally makes them uncer­tain
as to the facts; money is some­times
used.
"There is no greater constructive
'' task for the next legislature than to
clear away some of the legal rubbish
.and enable the. courts to function.
i Abolish the Court of Appeals; give
the state—-that is, the people — an
I equal showing with the accused;
simplify proceudre in criminal mat-
| tors and' pass the law that has work-
' ed so well in Virginia, that no con­victed
criminal be eligible for par­don
or parole until he has served at
! least half the sentence imposed, and
most lawless in the world. And what
is it? May one not seriously con- j
elude that between the skilled and
cunning lawyers who enrich them­selves
by defending there murderers
ed sentimentalists who are constant-
"guilty as hell" and the weak-mind-ly
praying over them and lamenting
that they should be "in durance vile,"
we have come to a very dangerous
pass.

FROM FANCY TO FACT
IN the "Manchester Guardian,"
one of England's most famous
newspapers, there has been a series
of American sketches written by a
travelling correspondent. His awe
at New York's "giant skyscrapers"
seems even to have surpassed the
wonder which most Europeans feel
when they first gaze upon that sky­line.
"But," he continues, "the elec­tric
lift made the skyscraper a fact."
In these words he has expressed
very tersely a truth which many of
us have come to take for granted.
Nothing could be more fantastic
than the sight of those mighty tow­ers
climbing up through the many-colored
mists of the great city; noth­ing
could be more dream-like. And
yet, nothing could be more useless
were it not for the thousands of Otis
Elevators which are busily plying
within those high walls.
The skill of architects and engi­neers
has created a vision, a mirage
wilder than any of the "cloud-capt
towers" of fancy. But the Otis Ele­vator
has made the skyscraper a fact.
There are over 17,000 Otis Elevators operating in New York City, ranging
from the lowly hand-power elevator to the 800 ft. speed automatic
signal control elevator for intensive office building service. All elevators
in New York carry more passengers per day than the combined subway,
elevated and surface car lines, amounting to ten million people per day.
