Religious Week
To Be Observed
Week of April 25
Dr. James I. Vance, pastor of First
Presbyterian church of Nashville,
Tenn., will conduct the annual re­ligious
meeting at Auburn during the
week of April 26. ' The meeting will
be held in Langdon Hall, the college
chapel, all the protestant churches
at Auburn meeting and cooperating.
The meeting last year was led by
Bishop Mouzon of the Methodist
Episcopal church South.
Dr. Vance's church in Nashville
has a membership of 2300, some of
Tennessee's greatest statesmen and
scholars being .listed on the church
roll. The auditorium has a seating
capacity of 1500, and the annual
church budget is more than $80,000.
During the past fifteen years 2,000
new members have been received in
the church.
Dr. Vance is said to be more than
a minister of the gospel. He is a
powerful preacher, a forceful man,
and a keen observer of human nature.
He is said to believe in taking the
church to the people, rather than
attempting to bring the people to the
church.
SENIORS OFF ON
INSPECTION TRIP
JUDGE BLACK
CHIEF SPEAKER
AT AG BANQUET
Judge Hugo Black, "of Birmingham,
candidate for the United States sen­ate
from Alabama, will be the chief
speaker at the annual banquet of the
Auburn Agricultural Club, Friday
night, April 9. Judge Black will
speak on "Law Enforcement."
In addition to Judge Black's
speech, an elaborate program of mu­sic
and stunts will be given by the
students. President Spright Dowell
will present diplomas to the eligible
seniors of the Ag Club. A silver
trophy cup will be presented to the
best all around junior in agriculture
by Professor J. G.- Grimes, in behalf
of the Gamma Sigma Delta, honorary
agricultural fraternity. Professor
John E. Ivey will act as toastmaster.
Music is to be furnished by the Au­burn
Mandolin club.
The agricultural club is the largest
departmental organization on the
campus, with a membership of over
100 students. The annual banquet
is one of the outstanding yearly
events, which is looked forward to
with much interest by the agricul­tural
students.
One hundred and ten seniors of
Auburn left town vlast Sunday on
their annual inspection trip of en­gineering
operations of the state.
These students, under the leader­ship
of Dean Rupert Taylor, of the
academic department; Prof. W. W.
Hill, department of electrical engin­eering;
C. R. Hixon, mechanical en­gineering
department; C. A. Basore,
of the chemical engineering division;
and J. A. C. Callan, professor of civil
engineering.
The party left Montgomery Mon­day
morning for Verbena, where they
intend to view Mitchell dam. On
Tuesday they will inspect the steel
plants of Birmingham. While here
they will be entertained by the Birm­ingham
News, viewing the Tutwiler
hotel and the new Alabama Power
company building. After a complete
visit of the many plants and work­ings
about the "magic city" the party
will embark for Muscle Shoals, where
the gigantic Wilson dam will be in­spected.
The party will separate after this
final inspection, some going to their
respective homes while others will
return to Auburn. The experience
gained by this trip each year has
proved of very valuable assistance to
the boys who go out the next year to
enter life's work in engineering. It
is hoped this one will prove as suc­cessful
as the preceeding ones have.

The Easter egg hunt of last Sun­day
afternoon which was sponsored
by the Inter-Fraternity Council pro­ved
to be one of the biggest hits of
the year. Sixty or more "rats" of
the different fraternities on the cam
pus were dressed in very contrasting
colors and forms for the event bring­ing
forth the saying, "Summer has
came."
At two o'clock, Auburn standard
time, the rats gathered at the Kappa
Sigma house where they entertained
before they were carried to the hunt­ing
grounds. During this stay at the
Kappa Sigma house, ice cream cones
were served to the rats taking part
in the melee. After which they were
marched to Ag bottom where the egg
hunt took place. The judges picked
Rat Vincent Arnold, Kappa Sigma
"girl", as the most cleverly dressed
and a prize was awarded "her". The
prize was a small bottle of Colgate
perfume. Then came the egg" hunt
which proved to be a great laugh
for all the spectators. After all the
eggs had been found, war was de­clared
using the eggs for amunition.
For an hour or more eggs were burst­ing
here and there cracking and
splashing all over the rats. One spec­tator
was injured during the battle
but it was not a serious injury, only
ruining his nice new spring suit.
Peace having been declared the rats
were lined up in a circle and a
scramble for the gilded football was
next on the program, and after a
very lively and heated scramble, it
was declared a tie. The tie going
to H. F.,Rodgers and Rat Hartselle.
The pirze awarded for this was a
large red stick of candy, and it was
divided between the winners.
at Arkansas on the Purnell fund, a
fund established by the United States
government for research work in ag­riculture
and home economics in each
state. Auburn has six workers in
the Purnell fund.

of "how it is done" we will go
back to the classroom with a bet­ter
idea of the game of journalism.
Plainsman, we thank you.

Earnest Receives Judges Decis­ion
in Close Contest
The, second annual contest between
the literary societies on the campus
took place in Langdon Hall at the
regular convocation period of the
freshman class when the representa­tives
of these societies presented their
orations.
The program was well received by
the rats and kindest attention was
given to the four speakers repres­enting
the four societies, Wilsonian,
Websterian, Wirt, and Evans.
The speakers were introduced by
S. R. Gibbons, president of the Wil­sonian
Literary Society, after Prof.
Kirkley had outlined the purpose of
these annual contests, and had urged
the freshmen to take a more active
part in forensic activities on the cam­pus.
The winning oration was: "Know

directed by Phi Delta Gamma, honor­ary
forensic fraternity.
YOUNG AUBURN
GRADUATE NOW
CLEMS0N PROF.
L. E. Meyers of the class of '25 was
a recent visitor to the village of the
plains. Mr. Meyers since his grad­uation
has engaged in the teaching
profession, being professor of chem­istry
at Clemson College. He is one
of the youngest men in this field of
work in the south, but his brilliant
scholastic record made during his
four years at Auburn entitle him to
the position.
While at Auburn he was the rep­resentative
for Blach's of Birming­ham,
this work greatly aiding him in
defraying his college expenses. Mey­ers
has not definitely decided whether
he will remain at Clemson for another
year, although he has been offered
an increase in salary. He is well
liked by the student body of this
sister institution, and he says that
the greatest bonds of friendship bind
Auburn and Clemson.
Meyers is a graduate in the school
of pharmacy, and made Rho Chi, be­sides
many other honors.
The town of Auburn is to have a
chamber of commerce. At a mass
meeting of the citizens of the town
Friday night, the proposition was dis­cussed
thoroughly and a unanimous
vote cast in favor of organizing. A
board of twelve members was elected
with Dr./ Spright Dowell, president
of the college, and Dr. C. S. Yarbrou-gh,
mayor of Auburn, as ex-officio
members, making a total of four­teen.
Other members of the board elect­ed
are: P. O. Davis, John E. Ivy, R.
S. Sugg, S. L. Toomer, W. W. Moss,
A. L. Thomas, C. A. Jones, A. Mea­dows,
J. W. Wright, Jr., W. A. Gar­rett,
Rufus Jenkins, and F. L. Mon-teith.
Prof. John E. Ivy presided at the
meeting and short talks were made
by Dr. Spright Dowell, Prof. L. N.
Duncan, Prof B. L. Shi, Prof. J. A.
Parrish, Prof. A. L. Thomas, Dr. C.
S. Yarbrough, Dr. R. S. Sugg; W. A.
Garrett, S. L. Toomer, and Isham
J. Dorsey, of Opelika.
Mr. Dorsey is president of the
Opelika Chamber of Commerce, and
spoke at length on what a chamber
of commerce can and should do for
Auburn. He endorsed the idea heart­ily
and became a charter member
of the new organization. He also
suggested a chamber of commerce
for Lee county, but no definite ac­tion
was taken on the suggestion.
The question of a chamber of com­merce
for Auburn has' been under
consideration by the luncheon clubs
?.r-\ ',)-? P->iiil Crr.dit W,en's associa­tion
for some time. The meeting
Friday night was called by a commit­tee
representing each of these clubs
with three additional members re­presenting
the town at large. The
board will meet on Friday night of
next week and elect a president and
other officers. The plan is not to em­ploy
an all-time secretary. It was
agreed at the organization meeting
that the membership dues will be
50 cents per month, or $6.00 per
year N

JUNIORS NOTICE!
All juniors are requested to take
notice that there will be a ballot
box placed in the Y. M. C. A. of­fice
on Saturday, April 10. This
ballot box will be open on Sat­urday
from 8 to 11 o'clock in the
morning and from 1 to 6:30 in
the afternoon. All track and base­ball
men may vote Friday before
leaving on the trip. There is to
be NO VOTING at the banquet as
this will enable the nominating
committee to start counting the
votes when the banquet begins and
give each new officer a chance
to make a speech. All juniors take
notice and be governed accord­ingly.
Elaborating on the text, "Happy
are the poor spirited," Dr. H. B.
Carson, President of the Kiwanis club
and of the Minister's union of Mont­gomery,
differentiated between the
real humility and mock pusilance, in
his address to the upperclassmen at
convocation Thursday. He said that
the real meaning of the text was
"Blessed are those, who are willing to
be taught." The suggestions that he
offered to the young man going out
into the world as being surest guides
to success were to keep ever in touch
with the sources of wisdom, such as
the publications relating to his pro­fession,
the conventions at which the
men of his calling get together and
decide matters of importance, as well
as with the religious influences that
are around him. The other sugges­tions
were that he cultivate friend­ships,
for he said that success is a
balance of knowledge and friendship,
and that he keep a mind that is open
to all learning at all times.

Royce C. Crawford, a junior in the
electrical engineering department has
been selected as the general secretary
of the Auburn Y. M. C. A. for next
year, according to information given
out by the "Y" office Thursday. De­parting
form the custom of the past
three years, the authorities decided
that the jobs as president and general
secretary were too big for one man
to try to handle alone.
During the scholastic year 1922-23
a regular, paid, full-time secretary
was on the job, but in the fall of
1923 L. H. Tapscott, a senior, assum­ed
the double office of president and
acting general secretary, and ever
since then the same custom has been
followed. However, as the office is
of such geat importance and requires
so much of the student's time, the
college heads thought it best to have
a student general secretary to be
responsible for shaping the policies
and programs of the Y. M. C. A. and
a president to supervise the "Y" pro­grams
and assist the general secreta­ry
in promoting all of the work of
the "Y".
The selection of Mr. Crawford
comes as the culmination of three
years of Y. M. C. A. work on the
Auburn campus. In his freshman
year he was sent as a delegate to the
World Student Volunteer Conference
held at Indianapolis, In addition to
this he has attended various other
conferences over the state and South,
including those held at Blue Ridge.
He has served as a lieutenant, in the
Friendship Council during his first
year, being promoted to captain, in
which capacity he has served the
last two years. Among his duties
for this year has been the preparation
of the discussions for the weekly dis­cussion
groups of the Friendship
Council.
FR0SH CLASS IN
SURVEYING HAS
EASTER HUNT
"Pop" Hulse's class in rat survey­ing
experienced a very enjoyable
Easter Egg hunt Monday afternoon.
The class was engaged in measuring
angles of polygons in the field back
of the president's mansion when one
of the boys accidently kicked over
an egg in the grass. Immediately
transits were forsaken while all en­gaged
in the sport of "huntem, find-em,
and eatem."
The hunt soon ended, because be­fore
many minutes some ladies rushed
upon the scene very dismayed \ n d
angry. The hunt had been prepared
for some little children, but the col­legians
by mistake thought that the
season was too late for a hunt and
that they were consuming the rem­nants
of something that previously
had taken place. Many eggs were
eaten before the freshies realized
their grave mistake. "Poor rats.

AN APPRECIATION
The journalism class wishes to thank
those members of the Plainsman staff who
have helped us with this issue, _in the way
of suggestions and actual work. Their
aid has been indispensible to us.
The democratic attitude taken by the
junior class at its last meeting was indeed
commendable. After having denied the
privilege of voting to those who did not
attend the banquet, the class saw the
grossly unfair and undemocratic spirit it
had acted in and promptly rescinded its
previous action. , •
When at the class meeting, the members
decided that only those going to the ban­quet
could vote for the officers who would
lead them next year, the evident object was
to sell more tickets. But as the subject
was viewed in the proper light, it was seen
that such a step would do many times
more harm than good, since there will be
many men who for various reasons cannot
attend the banquet, but who have. paid
their class dues, and who, being in good
standing, are entitled to a vote. Men
enough to admit their mistake, these meD
filled with the spirit of democracy—the
old spirit of Auburn, the Class of 1927
did the only right thing that was fair and
right—extended the right to vote to any
member of the class. Any other course,
if pursued, would have resulted unfavor­ably
for the best interests of the class and
the college. Fairly done, Juniors.
HOW HONEST SHALL WE BE?
Practically every one knows that nothing
is higher than a man's honor and that it is
the base and cornerstone upon which char­acter
is built. It is also charged that the
student that only tries while in college is
fundamentally dishonest. We have a good
honor system at Auburn, and as a whole
it works rather effectively, but there is
still room for vast improvement. The hon­or
system is not in its infancy at Auburn,
being aged by fifteen hard years. The
honor board as a whole performed nobly
this year, and if more fair judgements
could have been rendered, it fails to catch
this author's notice. This band of men
have done their work at a sacrifice to their
work and their friendship, but disregarding
all the hardships and burdens entrusted
upon their young shoulders, they have
weathered the stprm. This article was in­tended
to discuss the difficulties that con­front
the honor system, and how it meets
the needs of our college, but it would be
next to impossible to write of this field
• without mentioning the ones upon whose
shoulders falls the task of enforcing, and
punishing its offenders.
The question naturally arises as to what
are the difficulties in making an honor
system function properly? Said difficul­ties
are so numerous that the greater por­tion
of them will not be enumerated. The
biggest of all is the attitude of the student
body, as they are the ones who are pri­marily
interested, and the ones that it
has jurisdiction over. There are so many
different standards of honor maintained by
the various students on the campus, that it
falls the hugh task of the honor board to
perfect a fair system that will apply to all,
literally they have to^peet all standards,
and render their unbiased judgment to all
creeds.
Honor in the strict sense applies to all,
and nearly all colleges are confronted with
the problem of student honesty. It seems
a shame that the higher institutions of
learning are confronted with this problem,
but it seems that the bad ones slip through,
as happens in all organizations whether
large or small. Honor is built long before
a man reaches college, and for the colleges
to have a well perfected system, it must
be rigidly enforced in the high schools of
our state.
Judging from articles and cartoons of
various and sundry descriptions pro and
con, in other college periodicals it seems
that the honor system question is not mere­ly
of local concern. One of the largest
colleges in the country recently came out
in their college paper with a very sugges­tive
cartoon, and judging from its in­terpretation
they are thinking seriously of
abolishing their honor system. Has the
matter reached this status at Auburn? No,
not by a large shot, BUT A BETTER CO­OPERATION
BETWEEN THE FACULTY
AND STUDENTS IS VERY ESSENTIAL
TO PASS OVER THE IMPENDING
CRISIS.
A GRIM REALITY
NO FIRE EQUIPMENT
Since the several recent disastrous fires,
much favorable comment has ensued in
regard to the efficiency of the city's fire
fighting apparatus. At present all the
equipment in town, besides an antique fire
truck that cost $100.00 (F.O.B. the junk
pile), is about a thousand feet of hose, and
a $75:00 ladder. The above mentioned
truck was purchased by the government
at the beginning of the World War, and
served its days of usefullness at Camp
Sheridan. It was discarded seven years
before being purchased by local authorities,
and is a, 1916 model Ford.
Auburn's property owners are now forc­ed
to pay an exhorbitant price for fire
insurance, which would not exist if ample
protection were available. It is now pos­sible
to have that protection at a price
the town can afford to pay. A standard
fire truck that is capable of serving the
needs of the city for years to come can
be purchased for a price as low as $6500.00.
The city officials realize that the mem­bers
of the Auburn Volunteer Fire Depart­ment
(who receive no compensation for
their work) are not to blame for the in­efficiency
of the fire department. Their
willingness to respond to alarms, false and
otherwise, at all hours of the night is
quite' commendable, and their interest tak­en
ii( the protection of property should
be brought to mind when a new truck is
purchased, and a new department drgan-ized.
It is a known fact that the city officials
have labored to the best of their ability
for the past few years to procure efficient
fire fighting apparatus. Today the impor­tance
of effectively safeguarding life and
property from destruction by' fire is more
fully' realized than ever before. The fact
is reflected in the desire of the municipal
authorities to constantly increase the
means of fire protection and thereby lessen
the possibility of destructive conflagra­tions.
It is sincerely hoped that the citi­zens
of Auburn will exert their aid and
influence in order that adequate apparatus
may be procured.,
CAN SUCH THINGS BE?
Alas, that there should exist on the face
of this benign earth a person so devoid
of those tender feelings and soft emotions
that he should basely cry out against his
Alma Mater when he has left her hallowed
halls! Yet there seems to be an ingrate
residing in this fair land that seems to be
a bit cool toward his old school. We sin­cerely
hope and believe that this anony­mous
individual is mistaken, for if he were
correct, his institution would be sunk to
a depth almost equal to the Institute at
the "Village of the Plains" which was so
delightfully described in this month's edi­tion
of the Rammer-Jammer, the humorous
publication of our sister school.
The alumnus whom we are quoting wrote
the following in the March issue of the
"American Mercury" in reply to a gentle­man
who was seeking an appropriate hall
of learning for his son, who happened to
be just a bit under the weather mentally.
The letter is as follows:
"I would suggest to 'Manufacturer' that
he send his imbecile boy to the University
of Alabama, located at Tuscaloosa. Having
been forced by circumstances to attend that
institution, I feel qualified to say that the
predominance of the Alabama backwoods
yokel in the student body would probably
place the manufacturer's son far above
the average.
A Graduate of the U. of A.
New York."
BE A SPORT
During the game with Michigan Monday
afternoon one of Auburn's players made
an error. At this two or three students
were soon heard to shout with a few oaths,
"Take him out." To say the least, this
is very disconcerting to those men who are
playing the game as well as to those who
are loyal supporters of their team.
No gentleman would make such remarks
and those students who did make them and
are continuing the practice are not thought
of as gentlemen. The concensus of opin­ion
is that they are making themselves
obnoxious and should be barred from at­tendance
at future games. Though this
last is not likely to happen it would be
well for those of you who find yourselves
mirrored in this article, to sit down and
think it over, from the standpoint of a
gentleman at least.
WHY OPELIKA'S ATTITUDE
TOWARD AUBURN
It is hard to understand the attitude
that our neighboring city of Opelika has
seeminly adopted in regard to our baseball
team this spring. At every game which
has been played on the campus this season
there have been several denizens of that
would-be; metropolis who have rendered
themselves ridicuously conspicuously by
their obnoxious remarks concerning the
various members of our great team. They
have seen fit to carry their prejudice still
father by venting their spleen on the man­agement
of the team as well as its conduct
on the field. This antipathy for the Au­burn
aggregation seems to antedate the
present season and may be traced back
last summer when practically the same
nine wore the Opelika uniform. The fact
that they won eighteen games while only
six were chalked up against them seems
to have added to their jealousy, for therein
lies the only explanation of their attitude.
We have appreciated the patronage ex­tended
us in times past by our neighboring
citizens, and deem it necessary to state
that it is our belief that most of these
objectionable remarks come from the ig­norant
and irresponsible minority. We
shall continue to welcome the fair minded
fans from Opelika, but as for the others,
the unsportsmanlike rabble, we not only
request their absence, but advise it. We
would not attempt to interfere with free­dom
of speech—in Opelika.
JUNIORS USE JUDGEMENT
Saturday, the junior class will vote on
the officers that will serve them for the
next year, and it is hoped that they will
use their best judgement and elect good
capable men that are worthy of the job.
Each year men run for office that have
no ability whatsoever along the lines which
they intend to be elected, but they have
a good political pull, run with the gang,
and get elected over the man that justly
deserves the job.
When a man works hard all the year as
assistant (receiving no compensation), hop­ing
to elected the next year, his class should
see to it that he gets his just reward by
electing him. A wise class will vote ac­cording
to the man that justly deserves the
job, not letting an upstart that has done
no work all the year win the final verdict
of victory.
As has been stated Saturday is a very
eventful day in the lives of the juniors.
They are about to emerge into their se­nior
year, and the election of the class
officers is at hand. The destiny and honor
of the class is at stake, and if you as
juniors vote wisely, giving your vote to
the man who justly deserves it, then you
fulfill your obligation to your class. If
on the other hand you cast your vote to
your buddy who has done no work, but
belongs to the same social group as your­self,
then you are guilty of one of the
worst crimes that a college student can
commit.
Be wise in the selection of your class
officers, as they can make or mar the
honor of your class. Study the qualifi­cations
of each individual candidate and see
whether he deserves the honor that he ex­pects
to get. Don't act rashly or hasty,
afterwards regretting your action, but give
this matter your close consideration and
attention. JUNIORS USE YOUR BEST
JUDGEMENT, AND GIVE YOUR VOTE
TO THE MAN THAT JUSTLY DE­SERVES
IT.
You may fool co-education, but you can
not fool education.

If we hear of the awnings being singed

surprised because we will know where to
look for the one responsible for the dam­age.
Lawrence Judkins says that he went
to Montgomery the other week and hearing
that he was coming they called out the fire
department and had all the streets thor­oughly
sprinkled so that they would not
burn up. Even at that all the awnings
were ruined as he walked past. We will
all have to be on the lookout for this be­cause
we do not want all this new pave-men
to be ruined in this manner and if

Throughout the course of our long, in­dustrious
and slightly mismanaged life we
have been observant enough to note the
fact that Opportunity isn't accustomed to
separating the door from the hinges but
when she brings herself to our attention
by a discreet tapping, Old Dame Opp is
as satisfied as if she had loosened the
panels in the aforesaid door. This week
she dusted her knuckles lightly against our
door and we arose and said, "Welcome,"
and invited her in for a little chat. She
refused the invitation but sweetly whisper­ed
a secret into our shell-like, cauliflower-ed
ear. To this effect: Our dear editor
has been most industrious with the editorial
typewriter throughout the more or less
scholastic year. He has edited on the
faculty, on the executive council, the Honor
System, the picture show and the picture
show orchestra, on any and everything
that came under the scrutiny of his eagle­like,
editorial optics. Some of the child­ren
of his brain have been astonishing and
marvelous to' behold, wondrous in their
fantasy, mighty in their scope—yet ever
have they been creditable to his genius,-
always being a distinct resemblance to his
mighty, if compact frame. Wherefore,
whispered Dame Opp, why not, now that he
has relinquished his darling into other
hands for the space of one short week,
why not take this opportunity of circum­venting
his overwhelming modesty and
edit the editor.
Whence this.
Long hours we debated amongst our­selves
as to the best method of bringing
his sterling, 24-carat qualities before the
public, and finally decided that one thing
of which more anon, would be likely to
prevent the Crown of the Queen of May
from resting on a Ball. He is blessed
with abilities and capabilities. His cour­ageous
and straightforward method of at­tacking
the evils of the campus, somewhat
after the manner of Saint George and the
Dragon, has endeared him to many a cham­pion
who is always striving to improve and
reform. Too, he is that unique combina­tion,
a man's man and a ladies' man (ob­serve
the use of the plural). Of small
statue we must, perforce, liken him to
Napoleon, for who can deny that he has
a Napoleonic brain in a Napoleonic figure.
That, with his charming smile, ready wit,
and warm ready handclasp has made him
the bosom friend of the men. To the
sweeter, if perfumed sex, he appeals as
does an Adonais—and truly he is hand­some,
and the hand that is so ready on
the typewriter is connocted with a silvered
tongue that weaves soft speeches on lang-orous
nights and has caused many a maid­en's
.heart to thrill passionately and-long
to leave its native* heath and accompany
this young Launcelot out into the adven­turous
world. We all know that he is
well known to the Damozels of the Zoo—
rumor has it that many a fair one is ac­customed
to having him darken her doors
on an evening, when doubtless, (this is only
surmised—but how could she refrain?) she
rushes forward to greet' him with out­stretched
arms.*

to have a Queen with a mustache (a beard­ed

designed a system that operates
on a new and different principle,
and that has met with* general
acceptance in the Central Station
field. He also was active in the
recent re-designing of the entire
Westinghouse instrument line.
It was only a few months after
Pierce had completed the grad­uate
student course at Westing­house
that he was given an assign­ment
in the instrument section
of the engineering department.
He took it merely as a "fill-in"
job. Soon he saw that instru­ments
play a vital part in every
electrical operation. As an in­strument
engineer, Pierce spent
several weeks on the U. S. S.

ridden in the cabs of electric

this year, according to F. W. Burns,
extension service specialist. Each
farmer who takes part in this contest
will endeavor to produce a ton of
pork from one litter of pigs in 180
days.
Mr. Burns says hat three hundred
farmers are scattered over eighteen
counties and that Coffee county will
have ten and Oale will have seven.
Other counties taking part will have
from five to seven hogs. This is the
first time the idea has been tried in
Alabama.

EVANS SOCIETY
HAS BALL GAME
The Evans Literary Society held
its regular meeting last Monday night
in room 301 Main Building.
After the business was disposed of
in the regular manner, the entire
society engaged in a v "base ball"
game. This was a new thing in the
way of literary society work and it
was enjoyed by all the members who
were present. The members were
chosen on the two sides of the con­test,
and current topics were the sub­ject
of the discussion. The members
were asked some question about the
current events of the day. If they
gave the correct answer, they receiv­ed
a hit. If they missed three in a
row, they made a strikeout. After
three hectic innings of this exciting
game, the game was called, the score
being 1 to 0 in favor of the home
team, which was led by ."Rat" Vines.

AUBURN COPS SECOND TILT
FROM CLEMSON BY 7-0 SCORE
Wood Wins His Second Game in Three Days;
Gives Up Only Four Hits
The Tigers made it two in a rom
from the Clemson team here in a
onesided affair Wednesday after.
noon. The game was one that furn­ished
few thrills, other than the dar­ing
base running by members of the
Auburn team. A total of nine bases
were stolen by the Tigers, including
a double steal in the eighth inning.
The Clemson players were weak at
•the plate, and failed to score when
they got in position to do so.
"Cush" Wood, another of those
sophomores of Morey's, was in the
box for Auburn, this being his first
game to start for the varsity. He
had the Clemsonites eating out
his hand all the way, and struck out
five batters in the seventh inning
that he worked on the slab. This
was the second victory for Wood in
the last three days, as he was credit­ed
with the win oyer Michigan State
here Monday. Wood has a good
curve, and a very deceptive delivery,
which is very hard for opposing bat­ters
to solve. He is sure to get the
call for further service before the
season is over, and great things are
expected of him. '
Bryan started the game on the
slab for Clemson, but fared little
better than his team mates had fared
Tuesday. His offerings were easy
for the Auburn men to solve, and he
was batted to all corners of the lot,
before he was relieved by Long in
the seventy.
Auburn amassed a total of 12 hits
during the afternoon, Hitchcock got
a three bagger in the sixth inning for
the longest drive of the afternoon.
Auburn scored two runs in the -sec­ond,
when E. James was walked and
stole second. He scored on Ellis'
long double to the right. Ellis scor­ed
on Captain Stewart's single to cen­ter
field. They scored one in the
third, when Akin doubled, stole third
and scored on F. James single to the
left. In the fifth, Stewart walked,
was safe on second on Hudgeon's
error, on Hitchcock's grounder and
he "and Hitchcock scored on a double
\ \ scored in the sixth, when E. James
walked, stole second, and scored on
Ellis' single. Ellis was caught try­ing
to pilfer second base. Stewart
walked, stole second, and scored- on'
Hitchcock's triple to deep left. Self
rolled-to end the scoring.
For the Tigers, Ellis got three hits
out of three tries, Hitchcock got two
out of five tries, Stewart got three
out of four tries, and Akin got two
out of three.
For Clemson, Milling, Martin, and
Moore got one each.

Tech Rats on Hand
This Week End for
Two Game Series
Coach Brown's Men Will Attempt to
Revenge Marion Beating
Coach "Red" Brown will send his
Freshman balltossers into action this
week-end when they meet the strong
Tech Rat nine on the campus Friday
and Saturday. The Frosh were beat­en
twice by Marion in the opening
games of the season, but are expected
to come back strong against -the Ju­nior
Jackets.
Addison McGhee, who thus far
looks to be the ace of the Freshman
, staff, will probably work one of the
ifes, while Strong is listed as the
ter in the other. McGhee was
beaten in Marion in his first start,
but most of the enemy runs came
in as a result of miscues by the
Freshmen. Strong was nicked for
fourteen safeties in the second con­test,
but has worked well in practice
week and will get the call in one
of the contests.
The initial sack will be taken care
of by Jones, Lefty Watwood having
"been shifted to the gardens. Jones
has shown plenty of form at first,
as a result, Watwood, who formerly
"held that position, is being used to
bolster the outfield, which has not
^shown up any too well to date. The
Alex City slugger proved to be a
terror to Marion twirlers in the
series, two homers being included in
his collection.
Whitey Smith, who has been mak­ing
such a good showing at second,
will be out of the game on account
of illness, his place being taken by
Dick Logan, star center on the grid­iron
team. The shortstop position
will be filled by McCrory, another
football star, while Appleton, who is
one of the best infield prospects,
will hold down the hot corner.
Lefty Watwood will be aided in
the outer gardens by Simpkins and
Cannon, both of whom can field
well, although their hitting has not
been any too impressive of late.
Behind the bat will be Claud Wright,
assisted by Lawley and Hartselle.
Wright, although not any top large,
is a good receiver and can handle
his pitchers well.
Besides McGhee and Strong, Coach
Brown's best bets are Beard, Lee,
and Ingram. The latter, who played
end on the football outfit, came out
originally for the backstop position,
but the Frosh mentor has spent some
time converting him into a hurler.
The Wetumpka lad is well built for
a twirler, being well over six feet
in height and having plenty of
strength and endurance.
After the series with the Tech
Frosh the Rats will rest for a few
days and then go down to Troy, to
engage the Normal team in a two
game series, April 16 and 17. On
the following Monday and Tuesday
they will come home and entertain
the Howard Freshmen, and will go
to Atlanta that week-end for a re­turn
engegement with the Junior
Jackets.
"BULLY" HITCHCOCK "PAT" MOULTON
; « HIT AND RUN %
It is not hard to see why the Ti­gers
have clawed the Bulldogs, made
the Soldiers do an about face, breez­ed
through the Green Wave, and,
getting more and more vicious, have
driven the Tigers of Clemson back
to their South Carolina lair and are
now preparing to give the Yellow
Jackets a pair of beatings to com­pensate
for the tie game in football
last fall.
The reason for their strng of vic­tories
is that the Plainsmen possess
a ten-man team. Of course there are
only nine men cavorting on the dia­mond,
as per the .rules, but there
sits on the bench a man who plays
harder than any of the players, and
is in every play heart and soul. That
person is "King Dave" the greatest
coach in the sunny South.
After having two rather mediocre
seasons the Tigers are running wild
this year. The first game of the se­ason
was lost, but the Birmingham
Barons were the victors, and the
game really ought not to count. Then
came a string of seven straight, halt­ed
by Tulane in a 4-2. After that
the Moreymen have opened the throt­tle
again, and up to the present have
not been headed for. four" straight
games.
And don't forget that four of these
eleven victories have been from Con­ference
foes.
Auburn athletes will enjoy quite
a busy week-end, the tracksters and
baseballers all . have . plenty to do.\
The varsity diamonds artists will
be away, but the campus will not be
entirely devoid of baseball, as the
Rats will meet the Tech Rats here.
The Rats dropped the first game
to Marion, and in dropping the game
did everything that should not be
done in baseball. However they are
expected to do better this time.
The trackmen and varsity ball­players
will go to Atlanta for the
week-end. The baseball men are
going with the fell purpose of dis­posing
of the Tech team in a pair
of games, while the cinderpathers
will meet the cream of the South in
the Tech relays.
To get back to the baseball team,
we take pleasure in quoting one Mr.
Waller, of Georgia, who pitched one
whale of a game against the Tigers
recently, only to lose on' a combina­tion
of Georgia errors and timely
Tiger hitting. Brother Waller said
that Auburn was the hardest hitting
team that he had ever faced and that
he failed to find a single weak batter
on the entire lineup. In other words
the "heavy end" of the line-up ex­tended
throughout the entire nine
positions. Incidentally, Waller has
recently turned in victories over Ala­bama
and Notre Dame, and seems
to know his stuff in the pitching
line.
A new star was uncovered during
the" gamqs this week and a strong
addition to the Tiger pitching staff
was received into the fold.The new­est
stellar luminary is none other
than Col. Cush Wood, the pride of
Jasper, who made his collegiate de­but
last Monday. Although Wood
has but recently risen from a bed of
sickness he looked like anything, al­lowing
but two hits, and keeping the
visitors entirely away frtom the plat­ter.
After a day of rest he only
allowed four hits in the seven
frames that he worked. Needless to
say, the Mountain Tigers were not
on speaking terms with the plate
during this time. This was one of
the most impressive debuts ever made
by a Tiger twirler.
After getting off to a rather slow
start in batting the Tigers have be­gun
to swat the pill with a vengeance
and the team mark now hovers a-round
.300, just missing the charmed
circle by a few points. Eight Tigers
are in the select •class, six of the eight
being regulars. The leading regu­lars
are Seoh Stewart and Ebb
James, each of whom pack an aver­age
or.395. Next comes Akin with
.375, Wallis with .341, Ellis with
.339 and Hitchcock with .326. The
two pitchers who can also wield a
wicked buldgeon are Hughes, with
.400 and Potter, wth .333.
The leading twirler so far this
season is Dog Face Sheridan, the Au­burn
edition of Walter Johnson. The
big boy has taken part in five games,
has hurled four complete sets with
four victories and no defeats, his
last two efforts resulting in shutouts.
The second twirler is Cush Wood,
who has two victories and no defeats,
and has not given up a run in ten
innings. Hardwick has turned in two
games and Potter has one win to his
credit, neither man having lost a
game. Moulton and Hughes have
each won a game and lost one.
If one invites a guest to one's
house it is generally expected that
said guest will receive fairly cour­teous
treatment. The same rule
should apply to visiting ball teams
although we are sorry to see that it
does not in some cases. In one of
the morning practices this week sev­eral
students with a diseased sense
of humor made some remarks to the
visiting players that were fondly ex­pected
to be witty but succeeded only
in making the speakers appear more
asinine than they were, if such a
thing be possible, and to give the
visitors a bad impression of Auburn.
Of course, the majority of the stu-

Played Here Mon.
Morey's Wrecking Crew Gets Into
Action in the Sixth; Stewart and
Ellis Get Homers
The Tigers of the plains downed
the Michigan State baseball team
here Monday afternoon, in a battle
that was replete with thrills and loose
fielding on both sides. When the
game was called in the 7th, the
score stood at 8-5, with the Tigers
riding on the long end of the score,
way in the first three or four innings,
After trying to toss the game a-the
Plainsmen got down to real base­ball,
and looked like they had been
looking heretofore. The Moreymen
were not alone in the error making,
as the Wolverines made a total of
four errors, while the Tigers made
four.
The Staters were out in order in
the first inning. Ellis, who lead off
for the Tigers got a scratch hit, stole
second, and scored on Hitchcock's
single to left. Hitchcock stole sec­ond
and scored "on an error by Mich­igan's
centerfielder. This ended the
Tiger's scoring 'til the third inning,
when Captain Stewart lifted a line
drive over Haskin, in center field for
a home run. The Plainsmen did not
score again until the sixth inning.
The Staters got three runs in the
third, when Hood singled to right,
went to second on a single off Kuhn's
bat, and scored on Haskin's one-bagger
to center. Tolles went safe
on an error by Stewart, and Kuhn
scored. Haskin scored on Fremont's
single to left, and Tolles was. thrown
out at the plate, retiring the side.
Michigan scored two in the 4th, when
Baynes went the routs on errors* by
Ellis, Maury and Hitchcock. Speiker-man
walked, and went to third on
Kuhn's single to right. Reinhart
flied out to Hitchcock, after Potter
had relieved Hardwick, and E. James
went in for Maury. Haskin obtained
free pass to first, and Tolles singled,
scoring Speikerman. Fremont ended
the Michigan scoring for the game
by forcing Haskin at second.
The Tigers started their heavy ar­tillery
in the 6th, when Ellis led off
with a double to right, and scored on
Stewart's double to the same place.
Hitchcock fouled out to the catcher,
and Wallis was out, second to first.
Akin was hit by a pitched ball, and
stole second. Stewart and Akin
scored when F. James hit a clean sin­gled
to right, going to third on an
error by Kiebler* Sankey singled
to right, scoring James. Sankey stole
second, and was thrown out at third
trying to steal. This ended the
scoring until the seventh, when Ellis,
the first up, slapped one down the
third base line for a homer. This
was the (end of all scoring for the
game.
For Auburn, Ellis and Stewart led
with the stick, Ellis getting a homer
a double, and a single out of four
trips to the plate. Stewart got a
homer and a double out of four tries.
Hitchcock, F. James, Wallis, and
Sankey got a single each.
For Michigan, Knhn was the star
with the stick, getting three singles
out of three tries. Fremont got two
out of four. The score should have
been much closer had it not been for
loose fielding by both teams.
Wood, another Tiger sophomore,
pitched in his first game fpr the var­sity,
and was credited with the vic­tory.
He relieved Potter in the fifth
inning, and made a very good show*-
ing, as he held the Michigan men to
two hits over the rest of the route.
AUBURN WINS FIRST TILT
FROM CLEMSON TIGERS 10-0
Heavy Hitting By Moreymen Is Feature of the
Day; "Dawg" In Fine Shape
dents are good sports and treat the
visiting players with courtesy and
consideration and they should make
it their business to see that the pea-brained
minority do likewise or keep
away from the games.
The time-honored enemy of the
"Tiger of the Plains", the Clemson
Tigers, came, saw, and lost, bowing
to the heavy onslaughts of the soph­omores
from Auburn. A total of
fifteen hits were gleaned off the del­ivery
of three Clemson hurlers, in
the course of the nine innings. The
team that took the field for Auburn
looked entirely different from the
one that played Michigan State;here
Monday. They went the entire game
without making a single miscue, and
only four men were allowed to arrive
safely at first base during the game.
The infield looked like a major lea­gue
combination, and only a very
few balls were allowed to reach the
outer defense.
The Clemsonites were unable to
hit "Dawg" Sheridan's curves and
fast balls. He allowed Milling,
Clemson second sacker to get a dou­ble
off his delivery in the first of
the inning, and that was the only hit
obtained off him during the six
frames he worked on the hill. Not a
man was safe at first during the
next five inning!. In the fourth
inning, "Dawg" retired the Clemson­ites
on four pitched balls. He had
them whiffing the ozone, and biting
the dust at every turn striking out
seven men in six innings. This is
the third conference victory for
"Dawg" this year, and if he keeps
up his present pace, there will likely'
be a place on the Al-Southern nine
this year for him.
"Lefty" Hughes, who relieved Sher­idan
in the seventh, did some nice
hurling. He allowed the opposition
two hits during his three inning stay
on the mound, striking out three men
in the meantime. Hughes also con­tributed
a double in the eighth, to
the list of hits and scored on Ellis'
single.
Nothing of importance happened
in the first inning, for either team.
In the last half of the second, the
Auburnites batted all the way around
and started over again. A total of
six hits and six runs were garnered
off Long and Hayne. Akin, F. Jam­es,
and Sankey singled in succession
and Akin and James scored on an er­ror
by McGill. Sheridan drove a
long one down the $hird base line for
a home run, scoring Sankey ahead of
him. Ellis singled, stole second, and
scored on Stewart's singled Stew­art
went to second on an error by
Hudgens, stole third, and home.
Wallis flied out to end the inning.

Sheridan Baffles
Greenies in Last
Game; Score 4-0
After dropping their first game
with Tulane by a 4-2 score, the
Plainsmen came back, and aided by
the superb twirling of one Dawg-
Face Sheridan, handed the Greenies
a 4 to 0 beating. This gave the
Tigers a record of three victories
and one defeat for the Gulf Coast
trip. •
Sheridan was in perfect form, hav­ing
all his old time stuff, and as a
result the Greenies had to be content
with two hits, while the Plainsmen
were making six. The first and de­ciding
run was pushed over when
Captain Stewart pasted a mighty tri­ple
far out into centerfield.
x The first game was lost in the
first inning, when a combination of
hits and Auburn errors netted four
Tulane runs. After that Pat Moul­ton
was invincible, but the damage
was done, as the Auburnites were
able to make but two hits and two

A CHALLENGE
Any student of Auburn (women
students excepted) who wishes to
dispute with the present claimants
of championship titles for boxing at
the Alabama Polytechnic Institute
is requested to see W. D. Stewart
and arrange for a bout. The present
claimants for the different weights
are as follows:
Middleweight class-"Rat" DeVaughn
Heavyweight class—"Dizzy," Pruitt
Welterweight class"-Dots Honeycutt
Lightweight—W. D. Stewart
Until the present time there have
been no contenders for the feather­weight
title. However, it is to be
hoped that some young "hopeful" put
in his claim in the very* near future.
Auburn has quite a few promising
pugilists who have not yet taken any
interest in the sport. These men are
especially invited out for a display of
their wares.

NEW OFFICERS
ARE ELECTED
AT WILSONIAN
Election of officers for the re­mainder
of the semester took place
at the regular meeting of the Wil-sonian
Literary Society last Tuesday
night. The following officers were
elected:
G. D. Salter, president; J. M. Earn­est,
vice-president; J. M. Herren,
treasurer; J. M. Edwards, critic; M.
H. Simmons, sergeant- at-arms; and
W. D. Lucas, Plainsman reporter.
The tryouts for the debate to be
held between the various literary so­cieties
will come off in a few weeks.
The subject to be debated is as fol­lows
:
Resolved: That the Prohibition A-mendment
should be Repealed.
Every member of the society is
urged to take part in this debate and
make it one- of the best ever held
between the societies.
WIRT SOCIETY
HAS IMPROMPTU
PROGRAM TUES.
The Wirt Literary Society held its
regular meeting in Wirt hall, Tues­day
night. Due to a misunderstand­ing
concerning the program an im­promptu
program was given under
the dicection of the president.
The first speaker on the program
was F. L. Brown, who spoke on "The
Double Standard." The speaker
pointed out that we have one stand­ard
for men and another for women.
L. J. Maxwell chose as his subject
"Resolved, That Billboards Should
Not Be Allowed in the United States."
His reasons .for not having billboards
were: first, many are made of wood
which is badly needed for other pur­poses;
second, since many are made
of wood they should not be allowed
in cities because of danger of fire;
third, they endanger the health of
the people by hiding garbage. Earle
Cason told us about what four years
in literary society had meant to him.
True to the traditions of Dutch
hospitality, the University of Leyden,
Holland's oldest institution of learn­ing,
founded by William the Silent
in 1574 and located in the historic
city of Leyden, extends an invitation
to the students of this and other
American colleges to spend one week
within its halls during the coming
summer. This announcement has
just been made by the Netherland
American Foundation, 17 East 42nd
Street., New York.
A sei'ies of special lectures, social
events and sight seeing expeditions
July 5 to 10 has been arranged by
the University for the purpose of
familiarizing American students with
Dutch ilfe and learning, after the
manner of the "Netherlands Week
for American Students" which was
observed at Leyden in 1924.
Free board and room are offered
to a limited number of American
students by the Netherland American
Foundation, 17 East 42nd Street,
New York. The lectures are offered
free of charge by the University to
all who may wish to attend.
The University of Leyden, like
the city of Leyden, abounds in histor­ic
interest. It was here that 'S
Gravesande first introduced demon­stration
apparatus into the teaching
of physics, some two hundred years
ago. The first set of apparatus
made by 'S Gravesande and his friend
Jan van Musschenbroek is" still on
exhibition at the University. It was
here that Anthony van Leeuwenhoek,
two hundred and fifty years ago, per­formed
the experiments that earned
for him the title of the Father of
Bacteriology and Zoology. As re­cently
as 1908, at the University of
The speaker pointed out the many
benefits to be derived thru conscien­tious
effort in literary work.
To show appreciation for their,high
standards and efforts in behalf of
literary society work the following
were elected to honorary membership
in the Wirt: Prof. Harry L. Hamil­ton,
and W. A. Garrett.
The program committee then dis­cussed
future plane for programs
and hinted that a surprise would be
pulled in the near future. i
L e y d e n , Professor Kammerlingh
Ornes first discovered how to liquefy
helium.
Lectures in English, directly bear­ing
on these discoveries and the later
developments of Dutch scientists, will
comprise the curriculum of the 1926
"Netherlands Week for American
Students." Dr. W. H. Keesom will
perform experiments in the liquefac­tion
of helium: Dr. H. A. Lorenz
will lecture on "Physics in the New
and Old World:" Dr. W. Einthoven
on "Thin Threads and the String
Galvanometer;" Dr. P. Ehrenfest on
"The Theoretical Background of
Modern Experimental Research in
Holland; Dr. J. .van der Hoeve on
"Functions of the Eye;" Dr. W. J.
deHaas on "Molecular and Electronic
Physics;" Dr. C. A. Crommlein on
"Instrument Making" and Dr. W. H.
van Seters on "The Work of Anthony
van Leeuwenhoek."
Apart from these lectures, the
week will include sight seeing around
Leyden where the Pilgrim Fathers
lived before coming to America in
1620, evening trips to Dutch seaside
resorts, an inspection of the Peace
Palace and the World Court at The
Hague; the Royal Art Galleries where
the paintings of Rembrandt and other
Dutch masters are exhibited; tea
with the American Minister at The
Hague; a visit to Haarlem and the
Frans Hals Museum; excursions to
Amsterdlam, Marken and Volendam,
if desired.
Students wishing a more extensive
tour of Holland than will be possible
during the Netherlands Week for
American Students" are invited to
communicate with the Netherland
America Foundation regarding a pre­liminary
tour which will be.arranged
by the Official Tourist Office of the
Dutch government for the three days
preceding July 5. This tour will in­clude
Amsterdam and the Rijks Mu­seum,
the "Dam" and the diamond
cutting factories; Colendam and Mar-ken,
Alkmaarm, Aalsmeer and Ut­recht.
Holland, with its tulip gardens,
its canals and its windmille is the
most picturesque of countries. The
city of Leyden is beautifully situated
among lakes, dunes and pastoral
scenes. It is twenty minutes by train
from The Hague, but a short distance
from Delft, where Hugo Grotius was
born, and from Rotterdam, Holland's
principal seaport. Haarlem is less
than fifty minutes away. • Leyden
itself is the seat of many museums

people left Auburn for Anda­lusia

B. Y. P. U. Convention, arriv­ing
there at 4 P.M. Thursday evening.
The convention proved to be a real
success from all angles, there being
over 300 present. The attendance
was retarded by the high water which
flooded the surrounding territory.
Among the many speakers were
people well known throughout the
state. They were: Mrs. J. E. Lamb-din,
former junior-intermediate lead­er
for B. Y. P. U. for .Alabama, Dr.
Barton, of Andalusia, Dr. Paul B.
Bomar, of Tuskegee, D. F. Green,

AUBURN WOMAN
OF YESTERDAY IS
TOPIC FOR TALK
Address on "The Auburn Woman
of My Day" by Miss Mary Robinson
of Birmingham was one of the out­standing
features of the annual ban­quet
of Auburn graduates held in
the ball room of the Tutwiler hotel
during the meeting of the Alabama
Educational Association. Miss Rob­inson
received the B.S. degree "at
Auburn in 1899. She has been con­nected
with the high schools in Bir­mingham
for several years.
Miss Robinson told Auburn men
that the Auburn woman of her day
did not paint except with the blushing
modesty of making an error in class,
nor did she drink from the fountain
of knowledge.
"Not wanted by the male contin­gent,
the Auburn woman of my day,"
the speaker continued,' "was compell­ed
to make herself liked and useful.
She did this by coaching the boys
in some of the more difficult
branches and at the same time have
the-boys feel that they were taking
the lead.
"The boys had a choice of curri­culum,
being required to take only
one foreign language while the girls
were required to take Latin, French,
and German, the faculty believing
apparently that one tongue was not
enough for a woman.
"The,, habits of the Auburn girl of
my day were simple, being hedged
about by the conventions of the day.
The girl was never invited nor ex­pected
to attend class meetings when
election of officers took place. Nor
ware they invited to membership in
any of the literary societies. If
the girls attended they went under
escort simply to furnish dignity and
atmosphere to the occasion, and while
the girls easily led their classes in
scholarship they were far too keen
to refer to it? .- ,

PI K A CHAPTER
CELEBRATES ITS
31 ANNIVERSARY
The banquet of the Upsilon chapter
of the Pi Kappa Alpha national Greek
letter fraternity, was one of the out­standing
features of campus activi­ties
last week. The banquet marked
the thirty-first anniversary of the
Auburn chapter, a charter having
been granted to the Upsilon chapter
in March 1895. The feature of the
banquet was the presence and address
of one of the charter members, P.
T. Mclntyre, of LeGrand, Alabama.
Pi Kappa Alpha fraternity was es­tablished
at- the University of Vir­ginia
in 1868 and has seventy-one
active chapters throughout the United
States. There are four chapters in
Alabama, Upsilon at Auburn, Delta
at Birmingham-Southern, Alpha Pi at
Howard; and Gamma at the Univer­sity
of Alabama.
Jach Chambers of the class of 1919
was toastmaster. Among those res­ponding
to toast were: M. J. Bariss,

Preliminary to their formal ini­tiation,
the pledges of Tau Beta Pi,

are constructing the emblem of the
society, in concrete, on the terrace
in front of Ramsay Hall. The cus­tom
in the past has been for the
pledges to build the emblem on the
campus in front of Langdon- Hall,
using wooden strips and covering it
with cloth, but with the erection of
the new Ramsay Hall, it was thought
better to let the present class of
initiates make something permanent.
The men expect to complete their
work by the latter part of the week.

The regular business for the Webs-terian
Literary society in the begin­ning
of the hour was short. Those
matters taken up were the hike and
weiner roast which is to be held soon.
Another item was the announcement
of the subject for the inter-society
debate which was: "Resolved, That
the Phohibition Amendment Should
Be Repealed." There being no other
business the president introduced the
speaker for the evening, Professor
Daugherity of the English depart­ment.
Professor Daugherity announced
his subject as "What Does It Take
to' Be Successful." The address was
thoroughly enjoyed by the entire
number present as shown by their
undivided attention.
Calling to mind such men as Ru­pert
Hughes, John Erskine, Conrad
Nagel, and several successful women
who were acquaintances of his, Pro­fessor'Daugherity
outlined their pro­gram
of work whereby they achieved
so-called success by the general pub­lic.
These men and women worked
to get what they Were after. "To
attain greatness means hard work,"
stated Professor Daugherity. "Decide
what you want to do and keep ever
after it is the requisite for success
which when attained will be recogniz­ed
by the world at large."

If variety is the spice of life then
the Ag Club is about to add to its
^already existing sub-title of the "liv-est
organization on the campus."
"Daddy" Kearns of both newspa­per
and greenhouse fame, as chair­man
of the program committee, is
giving the club a real treat in the
variety of programs which he is put­ting
on thjs semester. His latest
number was put on by the co-eds
Wednesday night at the regular meet­ing
hour in Comer Hall.
The program opened with several
ukelele selections by Minette Thomas
and Lucile Totty, which made many
of the Ag boys, including "Doc"
Small, yearn for the wide Qpen spaces
where the moon shines brightly and
the frogs hold forth in their nightly
setto.
In a short snappy talk on the es­sentials
of success for the college
man or woman, Alma Bentley
brought out that among other things,
pep, push, an personality are necessa­ry
pre-requisites for making good.
Mildred Locke in her usual en­tertaining
way gave a reading, "The
Abondoned Elopement," which was
well received by the club.
"Boys" of today and fifty years
ago was abjy discussed by Hazel
Arant, in which she declared that the
boys of today are better than the
boys of half a century ago, which is
primarily due to the better influence
of the homes, schools and churches.
