Meet By 71 to 41 Score
On last Saturday the Tiger wing-footed
clan took the Bulldog tribe
into camp and adminstered a de­feat
to them by a 71 to 41 score.
Ten of the fourteen first places
were annexed by the Hutsellmen
while the Stegemanites copped only
four. The two teams divided the
second l>lace honors with seven
each.
While the track was a bit heavy
from the heavy rains, the showing
was good in most events consider­ing
the fact that it was the first
meet of the season. Several new
track stars sprang into the gaze of
the fans. M. White took both firsts
in the javalin and discus and suc­ceeded
in breaking the old Auburn
record in the former. Gene Creel
grabbed off the quarter by a des­perate
effort and Scott scaled the
bar at five foot nine in the high
Jump for a first. Young was anoth­er
who made his debut by winning
a first and second, while Nelson
pushed Kleckly hard in both the
hundred and two-twenty dashes.
Tippin of Georgia was high scorer
with fourteen points, Marcus sec­ond
with eleven, Stockleberg and
Kleckly were tied with ten each.
- Kleckryr^rf Georggia, was prob­ably
the luminary of the occasion.
This Bulldog speedster hit the cord
on the hundred yard dash in ten
and one fifth seconds which was
excellent time considering the
slowness of the track. Kleckly is
a senior and is playing his last year
on a Georgia athletic team. He is
a member of the varsity football
team and has won a Bhodes schol­arship.
It is understood that he
will continue his studies next year
at Oxford, England. Tippin was
probably Georgia's next best per­former.
He heaved the shot forty
feet, one inch.
Stockelberg maintained his fea­ture
work for the Tigers and pulled
in ahead of both the half mile run­ners.
Captain Pippin turned in a
win on the broad jump with twenty
one feet.

RALLY HELD FRIDAY
Reeves Gets Three Home
Runs in First tncuumer
The baseball team representing
Georgia Tech paid the Village a
brief visit last week end, and gath-ered
unto themselves two victories.
In the first game, the good ship
Auburn went down in a hurricane
of hits, but on Saturday the team
showed a complete reversal of form
and the result was a pretty pitcn-ers
battle, with Tech winning out
2 to 0.
Joe Market started off the game
for the Tigers, but his stay was
brief, the Techsters getting them­selves
six runs in the first inning.
Doug Knight then assumed the
pitcher's burden, and for three in­nings
allowed but three hits, but
unhappily these three were home
runs, and still more unhappily
there were two men on base when
the third homer was hit. Skinny
Hines worked the rest of the game,
and managed to hold the Tech
gang to 6 runs and 8 hits in 5 in­nings.
Meanwhile Enloe was hav-ipg
a fairly easy time with the Au­burn
batsmen, although he was
touched for one circuit clout by
Stewart, and various other hits by
the rest of the team. With such
a lead he did not have to be very
much of a star. He fanned a couple
just to show that he knew how, and
also walked a couple, probably for
the same reason.
While the whole Tech team im­proved
their batting averages, it
was the lot of Mr. Reeves to give
his a healthy boost by garnering
five hits out of six trips to the plate,
three of said five hits being good
for a round trip. Morgan and Pal-massino
also obliged with home
runs, while Morgan's fielding was
a feature. Rough Ed Allen did

JUNIORS TO HOLD
BANQUET APRIL 16
Ed—If you don't quit looking in
that mirror you'll get conceited.
Co-Ed—Don't worry. I don't
think I'm half as pretty as I really
ami—Texas Ranger.
The annual Junior Banquet
which was to be held in the Dow-dell
Tea Room on Friday, April 18,
has been moved up to Wednesday,
April 16, due to the fact that a
number of the Juniors will desire
to go home to spend Easter and
the former date would not allow a
complete attendance.
On this occasion will be held
the election of Senior Class offic­ers.
It has been the policy in the
past to hold nominations and elec­tions
both at the same "Feast
Gathering" of the members of the
class, but a new method has been
organized by the present juniors
and the nominees' names will
already be printed on a ballot pre­pared
by the nominating commit­tee.
This plan was initiated in
order that the most suitable men
for the important offices might be
given a chance.
It is expected that the plan will
be a success, and success can only
be with the attendance of every
class member. There will be good
"grub," a good time, and plenty of
it. Everyone is urged to share in
the benefits. The banquet commit­tee
has quite a number of tickets
left on hand and they desire to
have everyone get theirs as soon
as possible.
Coach Newell's rats journeyed
over to Atlanta last Saturday and
look their ancient and worthy
loes, the Tech fresh, into camp by
a 7 to 4 count iii one of the most
beautiful exhibitions of baseball
that they have turned in this sea-sou.
Two games were scheduled
but Friday's affair was called off
on account of rain.
The "rats" started the scoring
in the first inning when Booth and
Walsh walked in succession and
romped home on Pat Moulton's
double to right field. Tech also
made two runs in the first inning
and the count remained two until
the third when Steen and Booth
scored on another double by Moul-lon.
Again Tech repeated and
made the score four all, after
which she failed to make another
tally. -The "rats" scored also in
the fifth, seventh and ninth.
The timely hitting of Pat Moul-ton
for the "rats" and Reynolds for
Tech were the hitting features of
the game. Pat secured two doubles
out of four times up and Reynolds
pocketed three singles out of four
times up. The fielding of Jack
Hamilton on short and Joe Wallis,
first sacker, was possibly the best
day's work done in the fielding de­partment.
Hamilton made a bril­liant
one-handed catch of a seem­ingly
sure hit in the fourth with
the bases drunk, while Wallis made
a one-handed stab of a line drive in
the seventh with one man on.
Grant started the game in the
box, but was relieved in the third
by Bradley who came out in favor
of Slim Austin in the fourth. Slim
held the Tech batsmen to three
scattered hits without a single tally
for five innings. The pitchers were
sent in by Coach Newell in order
to give each a chance at the junior
Tornado and also to get a line on
his pitching material. All pitched
masterful ball, however. Austin
shone above his playmates on the
mound for he had a good change
of pace in his repertoire and had
the Frosh batsmen dismayed dur­ing
his stay in the box. Callahan
pitched in very good style for the
Techsters but was unable to de­liver
in the pinches.

Dr. Talcott Williams, director
emeritus of the Pulitzer School of
Journalism, Columbia University,
was the guest of the Auburn Jour­nalism
class Tuesday night. He is
one of a series of outstanding jour­nalists
who have come to Auburn
this year as visitors of the class.
Dr. Williams spoke to the stu­dents
on the romance of journal­ism,
saying that it was the great'
est and most influential calling in
the world. He declared that if the
newspapers were stopped the
whole machinery of the govern­ment
would cease and self-govern­ment
would no longer be possible.
"A newspaper man," he said,
"loses himself in his desire to serve
the public. That is the difference
between the author and the jour­nalist.
The poet writes for the sat­isfaction
of expressing his own
feelings. The journalist speaks for
the great mass of people. He is
the guardian of the public thought"
Dr. Williams declared that the
State of Alabama was one of the
most interesting of states and so
furnished a broad field for future
journalists. He said that there
were great problems to be solved
in Alabama whose outcome would
be largely due to the influence
wielded by the newspapers.
"When you become a newspaper
man, or woman," he added, "do not
let political pressure keep you
from what you believe is right.
Keep to the path of your convic­tions
if it leads you to the jail.
Speak for the great mass of peo­ple
and you will be sure to win."
He emphasized the fact that any­one
wishing to enter newspaper
work should read without ceasing.

Many Interesting Places
Visited During Week
The hundred students and pro­fessors
who left Auburn on Sunday
March 30th, for the annual engi­neering
inspection trip, reported a
most interesting time upon their
return. Sunday afternoon was
spent in Montgomery where sever­al
plants were inspected and also
the telephone exchange. The "hel­lo
girls" were the best part of the
afternoon inspection, "Big Chief"
Mosley, being very efficient in that
kind of work, explained the opera­tions
of the exchange.
Sunday was a hard day for the
Auburn Seniors for they had to
work at night. Woman's College
was the scene of the night's inspec­tion,
and a lot was learned from
this institute of higher education.
Early Monday morning found
the dignified ones aboard the train
enroute for Mitchel Dam. A huge
saw-dust pile was passed about
seven miles this side of Cooper's
and DeRamus said it was Verbena.
Upon arriving at Mitchel Dam all
the Kodak boys began to take snap
shots. The morning was spent in
going through the dam and in ask­ing
questions about it. At noon
lunch was served by the of­ficials
of the dam and Yager Home
led in he eating contest. The af­ternoon
was spent in fishing and
rambling over the surrounding ter­ritory.
Monday night the inspectors ar­rived
at the Magic City and Tues­day
was spent at the T. C. I. works.
Late in the afternoon all the wo­men
began to swarm around Jack
Wiatt, Wee Wee Matthews and
"Root" Swanson so they bought
canes to protect themselves. Heath
and Stevenson played around like
a couple of kids and worried ev­eryone
so much until almost every-

Two pages of this issue are given over to a section on "Blue
Ridge" and the Student Conferences held there. These ar­ticles
contain interesting information, showing the many at­tractions
which are to be found in "The Land of the Sky."
Every student should read them; and should help to make
Auburn's contingent there as large as possible during the
coming summer. By special request from the Y. M. C. A.
this space is gladly given.
R.O.T.C. INSPECTION
SET FOR NEXT WEEK
On Monday morning the Inspec-
Board from the War Department
will arrive here to inspect the Re­serve
Officer's Training Corps Unit
at Auburn. The members of the
board are Colonel Moor N. Falk,
Infantry; Lt. Colonel Walter C.
Short, General Staff; and Major
Robert C. F. Goetz, Field Artillery.
These men inspect all the colleges
and institutions in the Fourth Corps
Area at which R. O. T. C. units are
situated and it is their opinion
which decides whether or not a
school is rated as a distinguished
college.
The basis on which we will be
judged is divided into four distinct
parts; a perfect score being 100.
The first subdivision is the support
given the R. O. C. T. by the institu­tion.
There are seven subdivisions
under this head giving a possible
scoring of twenty points. Adequ­acy
of facilities for instruction dur­ing
both good and inclement wea­ther,
active and energetic support
of professor of military science and
tactics by authorities and faculty,
and the number of academic credits
allowed for R. O. T. C. are the main
counts under this head.
(Continued on Page 6)
Among the many interesting
events that took place on the cam­pus
last week was the enthusiastic
meeting of the Auburn Alumni, Fri­day,
when about a hundred of the
loyal sons of the A. P. 1. met in
conference to discuss a number of
things that are at present of much
interest to the development of the
college. The greater part of the
forenoon was spent inspecting the
buildings and grounds and making
a study of the progress that is be­ing
made. After completing the
study they assembled in the audi­torium
of Comer Hall where the
greater part of the afternoon was
spent discussing many constructive
measures relative to the college
and the activities connected with
it.
At the conclusion of the session
the following statement was read
and unanimously adopted:
"To fellow Alumni everywhere and
to the citizens of Alabama:
"We have been spending the day
with each other and conferring
with the president, faculty and of­ficers
of our beloved institution.
We have taken the time and pains
to look over the buildings,
grounds and make diligent inquir­ies
into the affairs of our Alma
Mater.
"It is most gratifying to us to
learn of the splendid condition of
matters in general here. It was
amazing to learn that the material,
equipment in buildings, laboratories
and land have greatly increased.

PI KAPPA ALPHA
DANCE IS GREAT SUCCESS
One of the most interesting and
enjoyable dances of Auburn's so­cial
festivities for the year was that
given by the local chapter of Pi
Kappa Alpha in their home Friday
evening, April 4. In point of num­bers,
at least, this dance was one
of the most successful fraternity
dances ever held here.
The halls were elaborately decor­ated
with tastefully arranged crepe
paper and baloons which carried
out the colors of the fraternity,
"Garnet and Old Gold." A large
electric pin and a fraternity and
college banner each, added to the
attractiveness of the decorations
also. Spring flowers in appropri­ate
colors beautified the mantels.
Peppy music was furnished the
sixty-five couples dancing by a
seven-piece orchestra. Fruit punch
was served in a cozy nook from a
large bowl banked in southern
smilax.
Guests of the dance included the
local college set and others repre­senting
Montgomery, Birmingham,
Atlanta, Ga., Knoxville, Tenn.,
Opelika, Shorter, Eufaula, Dade-ville,
Alexander City, Roanoke,
Camp Hill, Ozark and elsewhere.
A unique feature of the occasion
was the giving of autographed cop­ies
of the "Dream Girl of Pi K A,"
tied in fraternity colors as favors.
Chaperones for the evening in­cluded
Capt. and Mrs. Cushman,
Capt. and Mrs. Compton, Capt. and
Mrs. Althouse, Mr. and Mrs. Tid-more,
Mr. and Mrs. T. B. Chambers,
Dr. and Mrs. E. S. Winters, Mrs.
Spright Dowell, Mrs. Wilbur Hut-sell,
and Mrs. Clara Yarbrough.

AUBURN'S NEEDS
On the above title volumes could
be written, but this must deal pri­marily
with the needs of the town
of Auburn and the connection that
they have with the students. First
and most important of all, Auburn
is sadly in need of a larger Post
Office. Dothan is the only office
in this district which handles a
larger volume of mail than is han­dled
here and yet the accommoda­tions
here bear no comparison
whatever with those in other
places. It is a well known fact that
a large percentage of the students
are unable to rent boxes, due to
the fact that there is such a short­age
of them. Then, too, due to the
lack of force, the general delivery
window has to be closed while the
mail is being put up, which of
course works a hardship upon stu­dents
and townsmen alike. These
things are too well known to need
mentioning. What is needed is a
new and larger post office with a
sufficient force.
A second thing that Auburn needs
is a new passenger station, large
enough to- accommodate the large
number of passengers going to and
from Auburn. Opelika is going to
have a new depot and there is no
reason why one could not be built
here. Then, too, all of the passen­ger
trains ought to stop at Auburn.
The size of the place and the num
ber of passengers which it affords
ought to justify such a concession
on the part of the railway com­pany.
Both the railroad and the
community would profit by such
an act. Let everyone who is in­terested
in the welfare of Auburn,
and in the accommodation of its
students agitate these problems un­til
results are realized.
ment on requisitions and by bids,
thus saving large sums of money.
"The little villagge of Auburn it­self
has taken on a new life. Miles
of new concrete sidewalks have
been built and much improvement
is being done on the streets, the
water and light system is being ex­tended
and many homes have been
erected.
"In view of all of these facts
therefore be it resolved, 'First that
the alumni assembled here express
our sincere, cordial appreciation to
our fellow leader, Chas. F. DeBar-deleben,
for the noble service
which he has rendered Auburn as
president of our Alumni Associa­tion.
"Second, that we express our pro­found
appreciation to the board of
trustees for its wise, safe and
steady guidance.
"Third, that we express our ap­preciation
to Dr. Spright Dowell
and his co-workers for the faith­ful,
untiring, consecrated service
which they have rendered and are
now rendering to Auburn and
through Auburn to the people of
Alabama.

support to the board of
trustees, Dr. Dowell, the faculty
The Phi Delta Theta fraternity
gave two very pleasing dances last
Saturday afternoon and evening,
April 5. The afternoon dance im­mediately
followed the baseball
game with Georgia Tech.
Due to Alumni Day on Friday
preceding, the dual track meet with
University of Georgia, and the
baseball games with Tech, a large
crowd of out-of-town young people
were present and their presence
along with the entire college set
insured a merry time at the two
functions.
Tom Jones' Orchestra rendered
splendid music for the occasions.
At a late hour confetti and
streamers were thrown to add to
the good times. The main hall
was decorated with a cone-shaped
crepe paper design, while southern
smilax was used to enliven the ap­pearance
of the house throughout.

shop is about ready for occupancy;
Comer agricultural hall was rebuilt
last summer and is fire-proof thru-out;
two large aviation buildings
have been transferred from Mont­gomery;
one is being used for ag­ricultural
engineering and the oth­er
one for animal husbandry."
"In a short while work will start
on the Ramsey engineering build­ing.
When completed this will be
one of the most modern and up-to-
date engineering buildings in the
country. It will stand west of the
present engineering building on the
site of the old veterinary building.
"During the past year the veter­inary
college has been moved far­ther
west, across the ravine, and
three modern fire-proof buildings
have been erected making this the
best equipped veterinary college in
the south.
"All of the finances are handled
through one channel and it is pos­sible
on short notice to ascertain
the source of all funds as well as
the expenditure item. All purchases
are made by the auditing depart-tion
in all of their efforts in car­rying

purpose of making a greater Ala­bama

The alumni party was led by
Chas F. DeBardeleben of Birming­ham,
president of the Auburn Alum­ni
Association who was chairman
of the meeting. At noon they were
the guests of the local Lion and

came to give life as well as to re­veal
it to men. He was the sup­reme
prophet of the inner life. He
made the great revelation that the
inner life of man was greater than
all things external.
"If Jesus Christ was wrong in
his theory," Dr. Phillips said,
"then life is a farce, man's exist­ence
a supreme tragedy, and I for
one would curse the day I was
born. But Jesus was right for he
linked the soul of man with the
living God.
"And so today we spiritualize
everything that is worth while.
We even spiritualize eating for we
have knives on the table, table
linen, flowers on the table—in
short we have something besides
the mere consumption of food
which in itself is horrible."
The speaker said he was in
hearty sympathy with the young
people of today who "went to see
life." And he told of a^oung man
whom he had known on one of
his travels who set out to "see
life." But the young man saw the
dead things of life. While others
saw the beauties of nature on the
trip, this young man saw only a
poker game while in a drunken
stupor. He went to the graveyard
to see life. He missed seeing the
real life.
Dr. Phillips said the real life was
a thing of beauty, that there was
no such thing as being on the
shady side of life after one had
passed the fifty mark, that the real
life as revealed by Jesus Christ
was developed more and more,
was more beautiful as the years
passed by.
President Spright Dowell and his
co-workers here on the faculty are
cooperating to make the meetings
a success in the religious life of
the students. Various students as
well as town committees have
worked out all plans to this end.

Don't give a cap
"too much rope"
Just when you're hurrying the most
—zip! and away goes that shaving
cream cap. The new cap on Williams
ends the nuisance forever. It's hinged
on and can't get lost.
In shaving, too, Williams has just as noticeable im­provements:
Williams lather is heavier and more closely
woven. It holds the water in against the beard. Result:
quicker softening. Williams lather lubricates—no irri­tating
friction. Last, Williams is decidedly helpful to the
skin. It keeps your face comfortable no matter how
heavy your beard and how tender your skin. There's
no coloring matter in Williams—it is a natural white,
absolutely pure. Say"WilliamsHinge-Cap"toyourdealer.

BLUE RIDGE SECTION
WHAT HAPPENED AT THE
Y.M.C.A. CONFERENCE
LAST YEAR
As is the custom each summer
more than four hundred and fifty
students from colleges throughout
the South met at Blue Ridge on June
14th of last year for the Student
Y. M. C. A. Conference. Most of
them were chosen men and repres­ented
the best of Christian student
leadership in our Southern col­leges.
Everyone who went there be­came
obsessed with enthusiasm
for some real spiritual experience
that made the conference one of
the best in the history of Blue
Ridge. Every man had a problem,
either in his 'own life or on his
campus, and back of that problem
was a desire that some solution
might be presented which would
help him work out a satisfactory
solution to it. In addition to the
desire for solutions to these prob­lems
was a desire to have some
fun, to forget about books and to
ease away from the mental strain
of the past nine months.
The value of the conference was
realized in several ways, one of
which was an intensive study of
the Bible and its relation to our
student problems. Another was
the "Discussion Group," consisting
of twelve to fourteen men repres­enting
as many colleges, in which
the problems confronting their
campuses were brought up and
possible solutions suggested. The
success of these groups may be at­tributed
to the fact that every man
felt free to voice his problems and
give suggestions. Many expressions
were made by those who took part
in these discussions as to the val­ue
of them. The response was al­most
unanimous, that the hour de­voted
to the study of student prob-
TeTnT^aS 'WoTth &S" hfuWT5r~mdre
than any other hour of the daily
program.
Some of America's foremost
student leaders were there with
messages to the conference. Dr.
Robert E. Speer, of New York,
brought a powerful message on
what it means to "Consider
Jesus" in every phase of stu­dent
life. Dr. Stitt Wilson, who
made a visit to Auburn last fall,
brought a direct message to stu­dents
in which he clearly set forth
reasons as to "Why the World is
Growing Better." Other leaders
were there, each of whom was
deeply interested in student life
and student work. Personal inter­views
were granted those who had
problems which they were unable
to solve and which these leaders
had solved for themselves. Stu­dents
of outstanding Christian
character were sought out by oth­ers
who felt a need for fellowship
with someone whose life had been
founded on right principles and di­rected
toward a goal worth giving
a life for.
A great feature of the conference
was the contact with students from
other souttiern colleges. They all
look part in athletics, hiking, and
making friends with everybody
else. The tennis courts and the
swimming pool were the chief
sources of attraction. The dining
nail came in lor no little considera­tion,
ihe very best of food, serv­ed
ijy some 01 tue best waitresses
aie Soutii affords, made an appeal
tliat nothing else could possioly
equal. To prevent a great consump­tion
of food someone inaugurated
the idea of giving yells in the din­ing
hall, which is of itself a pleas­ant
pastime, and combined with
the splendid food made the meal
hour all the more enjoyable.
When the time came for all of
us to turn our faces homeward we
could not but feel that one of the
greatest experiences of our lives
had come to a close. The confer­ence
meant much to us that will
always serve to help us in develop­ing
into well rounded Christian
students. Our thinking will be bal­anced,
our sense of values awaken­ed,
and we shall always realize
that no man's life can be complete
without Christ.
PLAYING IN THE "LAND
OF THE SKY"
Western North Carolina has very
fittingly been termed the "land of
the sky." In few other places can
there be found the splendor of the
beautiful mountain scenery and
invigorating atmosphere that helps
to make this section an almost
ideal place.
In the heart of these, the high­est
mountains east of the Rockies,
Blue Ridge is located, almost cen­tering
the numerous places of in­terest
to tourists. Blue Ridge it­self
is one of the most attractive
alrd '"enjoyable of these Tesorts. Off
the grounds there is a large swim­ming
pool, a baseball diamond, a
number of tennis and volley-ball
courts and an open air gymnasium
where wrestling, boxing and other
sports are carried on.
At the conferences it is the cus­tom
for the delegates from the
different colleges to organize in
the various branches of athletics
and play for championships. Regu­lar
tournaments are held in the
afternoons by the colleges repres­ented
in baseball, tennis, track,
boxing, wrestling and water sports.
The winning colleges are present­ed
with pennants or banners which
are proudly exhibited by the dele­gations
from year to year.
Besides these athletics on the
grounds, the advantages for sight­seeing
and hiking are unexcelled.
One of the favorite before-break-fast
pastimes is to hike to High
Top, a formidable peak which rises
directly back from Lee Hall. An­other
popular hike is to Mt. Mit­chell,
the highest peak in Eastern
America, which is only twenty-

four miles from Blue Ridge. Among
the other beautiful places of inter­est
in hiking distance of the as­sembly
grounds are: Catawba Falls,
Sunset Inn, Spanish Castle, and
Montreat.
Motor roads are good and the
scenery along their course is unex­celled
for beauty and splendor.
Within easy motoring distance are
numerous places of interest, such
as the famous Chimney Rock, be­tween
Asheville and Henderson-ville;
beautiful Lake Junaluska,
the Methodist assembly grounds;
the Vanderbilt estate at Biltmore
near Asheville, and others.
Nowhere else in the South do you
find such a place for good whole­some
recreation and play as at
Blue Ridge. When one who enjoys
play really once gets into things,
his rest periods of necessity come
at meal time and when there is
need for sleep.
AUBURN'S REPRESENTA­TION
AT BLUE RIDGE
Auburn has had representatives
at Blue Ridge conference ever
since it has been open as a con-feTenet-
groHiid."" During' the" sum­mer
of 1922 Auburn had several
there, among whom were Misses
Annie Creel and Lillian Sharpley
at the Y. W. C. A. conference; J.
L. Lawson, L. T. Dyer, Earle Thom­as,
Rev. and Mrs. E. W. Holmes,
Prof, and Mrs. E. D. Stivers, Mr.
Bergthold, and L. H. Tapscott, who
was on the working staff at Blue
Ridge that summer, at the Y. M. C.
A. conference.
At the conferences last year
were: Misses Georgia Thomas,
Mary Julia Apperson, Margaret
Wilbur and Dorothy Duggar at the
Y. W. C. A. conference; Messrs. P.
T. Ray, W. E. Glenn, A. E. Duran,
Bill Gray, H. W. Sweet, C. W.
O'Donnell and L. T. Dyer (both of
whom were newly married) at the
Y. M. C. A. conference. Mr. Berg­thold
was there for the conference,
but left soon after for Colorado.
In case you wish to know some­thing
first-hand about Blue Ridge
and what it means to have the
chance to go there you may ask
any of these. They are for Blue
Ridge all the time.
The Spirit of Blue
Ridge
Every one that knows Auburn is
familiar with the Auburn spirit.
History tells us of the "spirit of
76," and we all remember how we
were filled with the spirit of De­mocracy
during the World War.
The spirit of Blue Ridge is an­other
spirit with which boys and
girls should become acquainted.
Words cannot convey the beauty,
the greatness, and the sacredness
of this spirit. It is a spirit of love,
unselfishness, and blended with
these is the wonderful spirit of
Jesus. In a few words, it is the
enjoyment of the "larger life."
This wonderful spirit is due in
part to the surroundings, since the
grounds are situated in one of the
most rugged and beautiful moun­tain
sections of North Carolina.
These gigantic works of Nature
seem to declare the glory of God.
As one views the distant mountain
peaks in the twilight, breathes the
light, fresh air and hears the babble
of the clear, cold streams as they
rush toward the valley, he can­not
but feel that God is near. The
spirit of Blue Ridge draws men up­ward,
cleansing their thoughts, rais­ing
their ideals and creating with­in
their hearts a desire to live Jesus'
way of life.
The spirit of Auburn is one dear
to the heart of every Auburn stu­dent,
but if the spirit of Blue Ridge
were combined with the spirit of
Auburn we can picture no greater
influence impelling men and women
to develop within themselves real
Christian character that will stand
the test of modern-day living. *

you are made to feel that you are "On top of the world."
AT BLUE RIDGE Y.W.C.A.
CONFERENCE
Hark! T i s the bugler! One grand
rush into something to wear, then
down to breakfast! That was the
one time in our lives that we did
not "hate to get up." Every day
was so filled with good things that
we almost decided we could get
along without sleep. Oh! if those
short ten days had only been forty-hour
days instead of the usual twen-four,
one might have been able to
appreciate in a small way all that
the conference offered I
Just because the day officially
began with breakfast is no reason
that every one slept until seven
o'clock. There was something
very tempting about the crisp
morning air. Many of us heard
the rhododendron call from the
mountains quite early in the morn­ing,
for there was Webb's tower,
High Top, and Brown's Pasture to
climb, Spanish castles and many
other places to see, and at the same
time no one could afford to miss
the regular business and Devotion­al
part of the conference.
The Devotional period began at
eight o'clock every morning. At
twelve-thirty o'clock we had din­ner.
The afternoon was given to
outings and recreation. Regular
p a r i e s were formed to hike to
many places within a few miles of
the conference grounds and auto­mobile
parties visited the points
a little farther away. Hiking,
swimming, tennis and motoring
were the chief forms of recreation.
Moonlight also had its role to play
during the night time.
Just after supper the girls would
often gather on the front steps of
the Main Hall for folk songs. Every
year there is a song contest be­tween
the colleges represented at
the conference. The best and most
original song is adopted each year
as one of the Y. W. C. A. songs.
Not to mention the yelling and
singing in the dining hall during
meals would be leaving you with­out
any idea of the spirit of those
who were there. Every group
seemed to be known by the amount
of noise it could create.
Considering everything that took
place during that conference—the
great spiritual experiences, the fel­lowship
with students from all
throughout the South, splendid op­portunities
for wholesome recrea­tion
and the pleasure of spending
ten happy days at a place like Blue
Ridge, one does not wish to efface
from memory the pleasant thoughts
always arising when the word
"Blue Ridge" is spoken. Truly, it
is a great privilege to make one
ten day trip to the conference.
Who Goes to Blue
Ridge
The season at Blue Ridge opens
just as the game and bird season
opens for the hunter. It begins
early in June and continues
throughout the summer. However,
it differs from the game season
in that it is not guarded by a con­stable,
but is managed by college
professors and students who stay
there the entire summer.
Early in June the Young Wo­men's
Christian Association holds
its conference, which lasts for ten
days. At this conference are rep­resentatives
from ten different
states, namely, Alabama, Georgia,
Mississippi, Florida, Louisiana,
North Carolina, South Carolina,
Virginia, Tennessee and Kentucky.
Last year there were sixty-three
colleges and universities of those
ten states represented by four hun­dred
eighty-nine women students.
After ten delightful days there
the young women gave the scene
of their enjoyment over to the
Young Men's Christian Association
for their conference. Last year
there were approximately four
hundred men from the ten South­ern
states.
The next conference to come to
Blue Ridge is the Mission Educa­tion
Conference. Here are found
church workers, Sunday School
workers and missionaries. This
conference is followed by the Sou­thern
Industrial Conference, which
is for owners, leaders, managers
and laborers in Southern industry.
The problems with which they are
confronted are considered and so­lutions
according to Jesus' way of
life are sought. This, however,
is very short and soon gives way
to a Bible Study Camp. At this
Bible Study Camp there are stu­dents
of theology, Student Volun­teers,
students who are preparing
for the ministry and those who
study the Bible and its history for
the value of it.
At all of these five conferences
foreign students are present, and
they are not there for the mere
purpose of lending their presence
to the group, but they actually dis­cuss
and help solve the problems
coming before the different con­ferences.
Last summer SCY camp was es­tablished
at Clue Ridge. This is
a camp for boys in preparatory
schools who come together for
study and play in the great out-of-doors.
It will also be interesting
to note that Boy Scout leaders from
all over the world met there two
summers ago.
Last, but not least, come the
speakers and leaders. They are the
finest the country can furnish, as
you will see by glancing over the
names of Dr. George Sherwood Ed­dy,
Dr. Robert E. Speer, Dr. F. P.
Purdy, George Irving, Edward Bok,
Herbert Graigs, Miss Grace Dodge.
Miss Katherine Lumpkin, and oth­ers
who deserve mention, but it
would take away from your trip
there this summer to tell you of
those whom you will come to know.
Will the list next year of "Who
goes to "Blue Ridge" carry your
name? We hope that it will.
This shows one of the real attractions at Blue Ridge, and you may imagine the pleasure of taking a
swim in such h pool as this, but you'll have to try it to get your money's worth. Robert E. Lee
Hall and Colleke Hall are to be seen in the background. High Top may be seen just over the top

WHAT BLUE RIDGE CAN
DO FOR AUBURN
What is the cause of all this talk
about Blue Ridge? What interest
should Auburn have there? Why
is there need for us to send thirty
or forty students up there for the
conferences to be held there this
summer? What effect would such
a group of students have on our
campus life here in Auburn after
they have been there? There may
be other questions in your mind,
but let us stop and answer these.
You may and again you may not
know what Blue Ridge is. If you
have ever been there you will agree
that it is one of the greatest places
you can find anywhere for college
students to go. When one goes
there he gets an idea of what a
real college campus should be.
Every one there has the feeling
that upon him rests some responsi­bility
to help the other fellow in
solving his problems, to be friends
with him whether or not he has
- '"'"•an equal' amount of money in the
bank at home under his father's
name, and also to think with him
about what are the best things on
the campus and how the rest may
be made better. Many things are
brought up there which touch di­rectly
every phase of our student
life. The good part of it is that
they are studied for the purpose
of finding the right solution to
them.
There are advantages of contacts
with students from other colleges
in the South, which is worth much
in helping us to know how others
live and think. There are also
contacts with great men of power­ful
personalities, who have a vital
and personal faith in Christ, and
men who are ready and willing to
help students in thinking through
their problems on the campus as
well as their own personal prob­lems.
The atmosphere of Blue
Ridge makes you want to live the
kind of life that you know brings
the greatest happiness and is
worth most. It gives the dynamic
of power to do things and to do
them in the right way.
If we had forty men and women
to go to Blue Ridge in June for the
two conferences there is hardly a
limit to what they might do for
this campus. Each would resolve
in his or her heart to stand for the
right things on the campus, to do
away with dirty college politics,
and to raise standards of daily liv­ing
among Auburn students. It
would give them courage to stand
for what they know to be right
without making compromises with
the wrong kinds of influences. We
need men and women here on Au­burn's
campus who are not afraid
to stand for the right cause, no mat­ter
how unpopular they may be­come
in so doing, who realize that
being popular with their fellow
students is not everything in life,
but that college is a place where
men and women are made, a place
where their lives should be built
on something worth dying for—
the right kind of standards by
which to live. Our campus spirit
is not what it should be and we
all have a desire to make it better.
Blue Ridge has something to give
us and we need it. If you want
to make a trip that will be worth
much to you while you build a
life, make the trip to Blue Ridge
this summer. The Y. W. C. A.
conference comes on June 7-16,
and the Y. M. C. A. conference
comes immediately after, June
17-24.
What Blue Ridge Is
Nestling among the Blue Ridge
mountains of North Carolina, is a
spot known as Blue Ridge, which
produces the highest possible feel­ing
and inspiration. The Blue
Ridge grounds are located fifteen
miles east of Asheville and includes
thirteen hundred fifty-one acres of
virgin mountain forest, thirty-six
buildings, auditorium seating eight
hundred, swimming pool, base ball
grounds, and tennis courts. There
are few more beautiful sections in
the southland than are located in
the Blue Ridge grounds. From the
fine large piazza of Lee Hall one
has a truly wonderful view of the
mountains among which is the fa­mous
Mount Mitchell. Also within
an equal radius of miles other in­teresting
points can be reached.
The property is owned and con­trolled
by the Blue Ridge associa­tion.
Dr. W. D. Weatherford is
executive secretary of the associa­tion
and also President of South­ern
College of Y. M. C. A. which
convenes at Blue Ridge for its
summer quarter. The finances of
the association are obtained by the
summer fees and personal contri-

butions. The whole purpose is for
thfl betterment of human souls,
and every dollar secured is used
to produce a still better assembly
ground. So these increasing attain­ments
are developing a better meet­ing
place for the various confer­ences
which gather there during,
the summer, as the missionary edu­cation
conference, the industrial,
the Y. W. C. A., the Y. M. C. A.,
the travelers aid, and many others
of equal importance. Every guest
is guaranteed enjoyment and
among the working staff are one
hundred girls and boys represent­ing
practically every college in our
Southland, who have for their pur­pose
the pleasure and happiness of
others.
The most effective training in
the South for Christian leadership
is at Blue Ridge, and it is a won­derful
ten days' outing after the
strain of a college year.
Delegates and athletes including
such as Al Clemens of U. of A. and
Barron of Tech were there last

her full quota.
WHAT I LEARNED AT
BLUE RIDGE
The things I learned while at
Blue Ridge for the ten days' con­ference
in 1922 are too numerous
to mention, but I shall name some
of those which meant most to me.
One of the great things I learned
there, was that one can find a real
pleasure in the study of the Bible
in its relation to life. One hour
each day was given to Bible dis­cussion
groups in which ten men,
from as many different colleges,
met to discuss important questions
relating to the religious life of their
campuses. Following this hour
was one given to lectures from
some of the most able men in the
United States. Talks from students
were mixed in to add spice to the
program.
During my ten days at Blue Ridge
I came in contact with people from
all over the world, and from them
I learned many things worth much
to me then and will ever be of
value as they are recalled from time
to time. It is a priceless privilege
to be able to meet and know some
of the greatest of America's youth,
and particularly so when the meet­ing
occurs at a place like Blue
Ridge. Never shall I forget some
of the friendships begun there and
the great student leaders I had an
opportunity of knowing.
It was at Blue Ridgge that I got
a greater vision of what religion
really should mean to a man while
in college and in his daily life af­ter
leaving college. I had not
known before that Jesus' way of
life meant so clearly living accord­ing
to His standards every day.
Apart from whatever else one
might receive from a trip to Blue
Ridge he can find no better place
to spend ten days. There is no
other ten days of my life I praise
and value more highly than those
I spent there.

WAYS TO GET TO BLUE
RIDGE
desire and poverty should be able
to get there by one of them. Take
your choice.
When you have finally decided
to go to Blue Ridge, N. C, this sum­mer
to spend ten days in the land
of the sky, you will have your
choice of several different ways to
go.
The most reliable way is by
train. There are two routes to
choose from if you pick this way.
Both are over the Southern Rail­road—
one through Atlanta, the
other through Chattanooga. The
fare will not be so high as one may
think, for there is a special one
and one-half round trip rate.
For the more energetic and eco­nomical
souls the oldest method of
transportation in human history
with modern improvements is
open. Strike out from the old
home town and "Catch" rides un­til
you have reached the highlands
of Western Carolina. This should
not be very difficult as many tour­ists
will be winding their way to­ward
the cool, summer atmos­phere
of this recreational mecca.
There are some whose parents
will be on the search for surcease
from sorrow during the summer
months. Why not use the old boot
and have them arrange the sche­dule
so as to arrive at Blue Ridge
about the sixth of June. Tell them
of the wonders nature provides
there, of the beautiful scenery, of
the cool invigorating atmosphere,
and the splendid equipment for the
entertainment of guests, and they
will be grieved to think they have
waited so long to go.
If you are real anxious to go,
as no doubt you are, get in touch
with the Y. M. C. A. and they will
direct you to the location of two
automobiles, in the process of re­vival
and if you are willing to help
in the reclaiming of these "busses"
you have a round trip ticket. Only
a little tightening and greasing is
needed to make the cars "ship
shape" and if you assist in this,
you are entitled to transportation
to Blue Ridge.
Those who have been to this
summer camp point out the spe­cial
advantage gained by posses­sion
of a "flivver." Two or three
of you boys who live close to each
other and want to have a good
trip, pitch in and buy an old Ford
and start out. The roads are said
to be in excellent condition and
good time should be made. When
you get back sell the faithful old
rattler and have some more good
time.
These arc some of the ways. Any
inventive mind, with plenty of

A MANDY LAY
By the old Henhouse Pagoda, look-in'
eastward to the sea,
There's a Plymouth Rock a settin',
and I know she lays for me;
For the wind is in the pine trees,
an, the pullets seem to say:
"Come you back, you poultry rais­er,
watch your prize hen, Mandy,
lay!"
Watch your good old Mandy lay, in
her nest upon the hay;
Can't you 'ear the roosters crow-in'
in a prideful sort o' way?
Let the fryin' squawkers play, but
old Mandy's bound to lay,
When the prices go up, by thun­der!
China eggs is bound to pay!

As summer draws closer, and
the temperature goes up, the Au­burn
team average seems to be
taking a corresponding drop, their
latest dive being from .225 to .208.
Ed Allen and Cecil Stewart are the
leading regulars, both of them
Doasting of a .290 average. The
aforementioned Mr. Stewart, by the
way, is the most consistent hitter
on the team, he being the only
player to hit safely in every game,
in the second Tech game, in which
Weenie Collins treated the Tiger
batsmiths so unkindly, Stewart
helped himself to two of the three
hits made by the team.

DOWN TO THE SEA IN SHIPS
Said a whiskered med
To his fair Co-ed:
"I'm like a ship at sea,
Exams are near
And much I fear
I will unlucky be"—
Then murmured she:
"A shore I'll be,
Come rest thy journey o'er."
And" darkness fell
And all went well
For the ship that hugged the shore.
Know that you would have a quiz
Upon a certain day,
And then instead of studying
You'd loaf around or play.
Go to class on said quiz day
With a pencil and a prayer,
And trust that old man luck
Would play you fair and square.
Stand the quiz, then figure
Whether you made a pass
Then think you've madd as good
a grade
As any in the class.
Return next day and find your
grade
Fifty-nine and one-half
And cuss and fuss at old man luck
And get the merry laugh.

Music charms the savage beast
and soothes the soul of the ball
player. Brer Reeves of the Tech-sters
would whistle so sweetly last
Friday that the pitcher who hap­pened
to be on the mound for Au­burn
at that particular time would
be entranced and serve up a most
luscious grooved ball, which Mr.
Reeves would send to the great
open spaces. However, Swede Sitz
does not seem to have an ear for
music, for on the following day, he
brutally refused to present the
aforementioned Mr. Reeves with a
single pitch labeled "home-run."
Collins isn't built for a pitcher,
he hasn't so much form, and doesn't
look so very impressive on the
mound—but, we only got three
hits.
With the chill winds blowing on
Friday, last, we thought with a
shudder of the track men going
out the next day in their undies.
But old Sol came out the next day,
and smiled benignantly down,
while the winged Tigers were an­nexing

The Rats seem to be playing
bang-up ball, having won two out
of their first three games. Now,

That's how you spell
"electrical industry"
The electrical industry must have trained engineers,
but its needs have broadened out beyond one group.
Today this industry offers opportunity to men or
virtually all professions.
Whatever the course you are now pursuing, what­ever
the degree you take and whether you go on to
graduate study, you will find a market for your
training in this field with its vast manufacturing
and commercial activities.
But what will impress you even more than this
diversity of opportunity is the golden promise for
the future of electricity. Great now, it will be
greater tomorrow—as great as you men choose to
make it.
Think of this as still an industry for young men,
with much of its potential development uncharted.
If you like to build, electricity is your field. From
now till graduation we suggest it will be worth your
while to investigate its possibilities.

TECH TROUNCES
TIGERS TWICE
(Continued from Page 1)
about the best hitting and fielding
for the Auburnites.
In the second game, Swede Sitz
and Weenie Collins hooked up in
a pretty pitchers' duel, with Col­lins
getting the advantage. How­ever,
it is only fair to Sitz to ob­serve
that if the Auburn team had
made some of the stops and catches
made by the visitors, the game
would have probably been going
yet. However, the Tigers fielded
well, Sitz pitched well, and taken
all, it was the best effort put forth
on the local diamond this year.
Mr. Sitz cured Reeves of his em­barrassing
home-run habit, but he
forgot about Jennings, the result
being that the diminutive lead-off
man for the visitors sent one sail­ing
in the fifth for the winning run
of the game. Tech's second run
came in the sixth on a passed ball.
Collins pitched a fine game and
was aided by some wonderful field­ing.
He did not pass a man, and
allowed only three scattered hits.
The feature of the game was a
sensational catch of Griffin's fly
by Yeoman. The ball went out to­ward
the dump labeled "home run"
but Mr. Yeoman decided otherwise,
and made one of the prettiest
catches seen here in a long time.
Morgan at second topped several
drives through the infield that
looked like sure hits, while Den-nicke
played a steady game at the
initial sack. Bo Self pulled down
some long ones in left field for
the Tigers, while Stewart and Allen
did some flashy work in the in­ner
works. Stewart also gathered
two of the three hits made by the
team, this being the eighth consec­utive
game in which he has hit
safely.

Twenty points is allowed for this,
nine of which is given for the per­centage
of students enrolling in
the advance course at their com­pletion
of the basic one. Auburn
has always had over 90 per cent
of those eligible to elect the advance
course because the students as a
whole have seen the benefits they
would derive from it were well
worth the effort expended.
The next section is based on he
efficiency of the theoretical instruc­tion
counting twenty eight of the
total. This is judged by the show­ing
made by the students themselves
in their regular class work which
the judging officers see.
The last subdivision is that of
efficiency of practical instruction,
in which the students are judged
by their ability to perform the du­ties
they have learned and their
appearance, care of equipment,
and courtesy. This counts thirty

AG. CLUB BANQUET TO

The Annual Ag. Club Banquet is
to be held this year in the Stu­dents'
Cooperative Club hall again
on April 17th. This function has
the reputation of always being a
great success and the largest of its
kind held on the campus, and ac­cording
to those in charge it will
be bigger and better than ever
this year.
Out-of-town speakers have al­ready
been engaged for the occa­sion
and a splendid menu decided
upon. Other preparations for the
enjoyment of everyone who at­tends
are still under way, and
every effort is being put forth to
make it a "feed" that can not be
forgotten.
Tickets for this banquet may be
had for a dollar and fifty cents
from C. W. Winston or any others
on the ticket committee. A large
crowd is expected to be present,
as this affair is always conceded
to be such a worth while one that
all who can possibly do so, make
it a point to be there. Do not miss
this opportunity!
