Ramsay Engineering
Building Under Construction
Structure to Cost $218,-
000.00 and to be
Completed Sept.
1st, 1 9 25
Work on Rainsay Hall, the new
engineering building, was begun on
August 18. The foundations are
now being laid and the building is
to be ready for occupation by Sep­tember,
1925. When completed, it
will be one of the largest and best
equipped engineering buildings in
the South and will cost approxi­mately
$218,000.
The new building will be three
stories high, and in it will be em­bodied
many new features of mod­ern
construction. It will be fire­proof,
have marble floors in hall;
ways and vestibules, and will be
finished in Bedford Limestone.
On the first floor will be the
Junior electrical and mechanical
laboratories, several private re­search
laboratories, and a student's
lounge room. Another feature is
the provision^of a special room for
the delicate and costly oscillo­graph,
which was presented by
the General Electric Co. over a
year ago. On the second floor
there will be classrooms and pri­vate
offices, and the third will be
occupied mostly by drafting
rooms.
Warren, Knight and Davis of
Birmingham are the architects and
the contract is with the C. A. Ful-ghum
Construction Co. of Pensa-cola,
Fla. The man on the job at
present is our old friend and base­ball
star, "Dot" Fulghum, who left
us in 1921.

COLLEGE "NITE"
FRIDAY, SEPTEMBER 12
The first meeting of the entire
student body is College Nite. The
purpose of this meeting is to ac­quaint
the Freshmen with Auburn
and to revive the spirit of the old
men.
On account of the inadequate
seating capacity of Langdon Hall,
this meeting will be held in the
Gymnasium. "Boozer" Pitts, head
football coach, will preside. The
program will begin promptly at
eight o'clock Friday night, Sep­tember
12.
Everyone must come out and
make this the biggest and best col­lege
nite in the history of Auburn.
Freshmen, by all means, must at­tend
in order -to learn what it
means to become an Auburn man.
The speakers on the program,
and the order in which th«y- come
on the program, are given below.
John E. Pitts, Master of Cere­monies,
Coach Hutsell, "Fatty"
Lawrence, Coach Bunker, "Hard-boy"
Pruitt, C. H. Turk, "Soapy"

PRESIDENT DOWELL
RECORD TO BE MADE
OF FORMER "A" MEN
ST0DENT TICKETS
TO BE GIVEN OUT
UPON REGISTRATION
The Athletic Association has
adopted a new system of student
admissions to the games on and
away from the campus.. Upon
registration each student will be
given a book containing thirty tick­ets
numbered from one to thirty.
The student's name will be enter­ed
thereon and he must sign a
pledge stating that he has receiv­ed
the same. Before each game a
number corresponding to one of
those in the book will be posted.
Only the ticket corresponding to
this number will admit the student
to this game and the ticket must
not be detached from the book.
For games played off the cam­pus,
designated as excused by the
Executive Council, student ticket's
can be secured only in exchange
for the ticket from the student's
book and the regular student's ad­mission
price.
The book of tickets will not be
replaced if lost and will be void if
"non-transferable" regulation vio­lated.
This will insure both the student
and the athletic association a fair
deal. It protects the student body
from the intrusion of outsiders
and elimates much of the red tape
formerly required in securing tick
ets.
The service rendereu by the
members of the varsity teams of
the past has been so great that the
college officials fe*el that they are
justified of a permanent record as
a part of the college. The task is
a very difficult one as no official
record of these men has been kept
up to the present time. The col­lege
is now putting forth every ef­fort
to obtain such a record in
the following manner:
1. A tentative list of the var­sity
men was made up this sum­mer
from sources possible.
2. This list was sent to aTiun-dred
old "A" men throughout the
country with the request that they
return it with such revisions as
they could make.
3. Cards were sent to all of
those on the revised list in order
that their addresses might be
checked, and other information
such as the number of years on the
teams might be obtained.
4. Upon the return of these
cards, complimentary season "A"
passes to all of the 1924 football

Numerous Changes in
Auburn Faculty This Term
THETA CHI FIRST.
ON FRATERNITY ROW
WELCOME
To Students of 1924:
With the advent of September the thoughts of the people
of Auburn turn joyfully to the members of the great Au­burn
family who will soon come trooping home again.
While we shall miss many fine fellows, we realize that most
of them have gone forth under the inspiration of the "Au­burn
Spirit" to do the world's work. That is the a im for
which the college was established and we a r e glad to know
they are entering upon careers with fine prospects of success.
We are happy, too, in the thought that a splendid group
of new men will come to swell the current of college life.
How to readjust to the new conditions which confront the
old men, and how to absorb the new men into the atmos­phere
which differentiates college from High School, are
problems that can never be solved by formula, because the
factors are never the same. The spirit of Auburn is the
spirit of good will, of faithful work, of fair play, of true
comradeship, of mental exaltation, of lofty idealism. Un­der
its spell we may be sure that the attitude of old men
toward new, of new men toward old, and all toward the
college will be wholesome and loyal.
This edition of The Plainsman, which is especially dedi­cated
to new men, typifies in a fine way the genuine in­terest
of students, faculty and townspeople in giving each
freshman every possible assistance in adjusting to the new
environment. Quite naturally some inconvenience-will be
experienced in getting located and in learning to conform
to the new conditions and the increased demands of college
life.- This is a necessary and vital part of the new student's
education and will have much to do with the larger life
and the larger career which the loved ones at home a r e con­fidently
expecting of him.
We sincerely hope that the feelings of the old men as
they return and the first impressions of the new men as
they enter will be so happy and so well directed that the
year 1924 will be an outstanding one in the annals of the
college. i
Believing that you will each and all prove worthy of the
inestimable privileges which membership in the incompar­able
Auburn family assures and wishing for you severally a
double portion of the "Auburn Spirit," I desire to extend
to you the heartiest of welcomes to your college home.
Cordially yours,
SPRIGHT DOWELL, President.
An idea which has been develop­ing
in the mind of President
Spright Dowell for several years
will become a reality on October
1 when the Theta Chi Chapter
house will be completed. It will
be the first fraternity house in the
Fraternity Bow, about which Dr.
Dowell has been thinking and on
which he has been working since
he became President of Auburn.
The Theta Chi house has been
under construction since July 1.
It is located between the main
campus and the agricultural cam­pus,
where it is convenient to all
divisions and activities of the col­lege.
The new building will be one
of the most imposing structures on
the campus. It is two stories and
contains fifteen rooms with a
large and inviting living room, an
assembly room on the third floor,
and a basement. In addition,
sleeping porch space is provided
for most of the occupants. It is
built) of red tapestry brick and
hollow tile. The architectuPe is of
the Georgian style, which has been
adopted for the campus. It will be
heated by steam. The total cost

Those who have been in
before will wecome the fo
information. The Board
tees have authorized the collegi
expend $50,000 on a new water
tern. It is now under construct?
The storage basin and the pu
ing station will be located at
Moore's Mill Place which is
two miles south of town. The dam
to the basin will be four hundred
feet long and twenty feet in height.
The pond will be a mile in length
and cover twenty eight acres
which will give a capacity of sev­eral
million galons. The water will
be pumped from this place, through
an eight inch pipe, to the filter
station which is located at the pre­sent
pumping station. The pumps
have a capacity of four hundred
gallons per minute. A new high
pressure pump will be installed in
town which will make a total of
two pumps at end of the line. The
new pumping system will have
three times the capacity of the
one now in use.
Dean Wilmore is engineering the
project. Mr. Drake and Mr. Jones
are superintending its construc­tion.
They have hopes of putting
the .plant into operation by Thanks­giving
of this year.

to have as many different numbers
as possible. Outside speakers will
be asked in from time to time.

best year in the history of Auburn,
we have not achieved anything.
To make it the best we must have

At a barbecue on August 12th,
the Lions Club of Auburn formally
presented a new hut to the "Tiger
and "Eagle" Patrols of the Boy
Scouts here. The occasion was en­joyed
by the Scouts, Lions, and
friends.
The hut is built of logs which
made it a very attractive scout
building. It is finished on the in­side
with dressed lumber and*has
a large stone fireplace in one end
of the room. It is well equipped
with electric lights and other nec­essary
conveniences.
The Scouts are fast increasing
in number and Mr. J. D. King, the
Scoutmaster, has hopes of great
achievements during the next year.
BAND UNIFORMS
Over eleven hundred dollars have
been raised on the Band Drive. The
committee is now at work selecting
a snappy uniform. The band will
wear them to the L. S. U. game
and there is a possibility of them
"strutting" them at the Clemson
game. Anyway Auburn will have a
good looking as well as a good
bai^d this year, v
ENGINEERING RESEARCH
BUILDING COMPLETED
Another step toward a Greater
Auburn was taken upon the com­pletion
of a new two story brick
building located just below the site
of the new Ramsey Hall which is
west of the present Engineering
Building.
The new laboratory is 128 ft.
by 50 ft. A valuation of $50,000
is placed upon it. It was construct­ed
under the supervision of Mr.
Dan Jones.
The first floor will be used as a
Senior Electrical Laboratory.
Equipment donated by the Alabama
Power Company, The General
Electric Company, The Westing-house
Electric Company, will be
installed on this floor. Other
equipment will be moved from
the old laboratory.
On the second floor an Engi­neering
laboratory will be install­ed.
A movement was inaugurated
last year to organize this work and
it will be developed as fast as poss­ible
by the faculty of the Engineer­ing
School.
IMPROVEMENTS AT
THE "Y" BUILDING
A great improvement has been
made in the moving of the Y. M.
C. A. from the old Presbyterian
Church Building to new quarters
under Langdon Hall.
The new home of the "Y" is di­vided
into several rooms, making
it very convenient as the lobby and
music room can be made separate
from the reading room. There will
also be an assembly room, "Y" of­fice,
Student Government office,
and two rooms for the Plainsman,
allowing separate offices for the
business staff and the editorial
staff.
The Home Economics Depart­ment
which formerly occupied the
basement of Langdon Hall, has
been moved to Comer Hall, and
the old "Y" building will be used
for girls' activities.
TRUNKS HAULED FOR 25c
The Y. M. C. A. will not haul the
students' trunks as in previous
years, but an agreement has been
made by which trunk haulers are
to haul all trunks for twenty-five
cents each. No one need pay more
than that amount.

FRESHMAN SECTfflON
This section of THE PLAINS­MAN
is dedicated to the Freshman
class for the purpose of giving a
genuine welcome to Auburn and
helping them in every way possible,
to get started right in The Village
of the Plains. We have tried to
get all the helpful information pos­sible
for we know that you need
it. We were all once Freshmen
too. We hope that our efforts to
help you have not been in vain
and that you will have the most
successful year of your life here
at Auburn during the coming term
and that you will develop into the
finest type of Auburn men.
THE STAFF
THE AUBURN SPIRIT
As we progress in this life, ac­quiring
experiences, meeting diffi­culties,
enjoying modest success,
tasting bitter defeats, we learn that
we must have some inter,, strength
to carry on and maintain a balance
through the various stages of ojr
development. Those in middle age
and beyond have learned to lean
on religion, ambition, personal
pride, and similar props. In sum­ming
it all up we observe that they
all term it HOPE. Hope of what?
Hope of salvation, hope of personal
ss, in short the attaining of
that each desires to reach.
This hope, using this term in its
broadest sense as outlined above,
furnishes the balance wheel of
every life. To those of you who
are at the threshold of your colleg­iate
careers, permit us to recom­mend
to you the Auburn Spirit.
What is this Auburn Spirit? We
might as well attempt to define
love, success or some such all-in­clusive
term. Each individual col­ors
his definition with bis own
personality. Love ranges from the
sensual to the saintly according to
the character of the individual.
Success varies from the accumula­tion
of a mass of money to the de­velopment
of great character and
the rendition of a life time of ser­vice
to one's fellow man. Each in­dividual
sets his own goal. So it
is with the Auburn Spirit. Some
will tell you that it means to sup­port
your teams, be on the bleach­ers
every day, yell all the breath
out of your body and live on in­spiration,
attend the games. Some
also include that spirit that drives
one to attend every class, observa­tion
of the rules of the institution,
respect for those in authority. Some
think that it means being loyal to
the gang at any cost. Some will
urge that the Auburn Spirit calls
for the courage to undertake any­thing,
using it as a lever to force
one to do questionable acts as proof
of your spirit. Briefly, it all means
that you shall love old Auburn with
all its pleasures, with all its duties,
and with all its disappointments.
You must love Auburn for better
or for worse. That is the real mean­ing.
Auburn is your Alma Mater by
your own choice. You must love
her and honor her traditions. You
must strive to accomplish bigger
and better ends that you may add
laurels to her name. You must play
the" game square, aid and support
every worthy cause by word and
deed, carefully guard your own
honor that you may not reflect dis­credit
to your Alma Mater. In fact
you are Auburn and in your keep­ing
rests her future. Don't you
feel that sense of love, duty and
privilege keenly? If you do, you
have the Auburn Spirit.
You may ask "What does this
spirit mean to me?" It means any­thing
that you care to make it. In­dividually
and collectively, you are
Auburn. Shall her traditional hon­or
be upheld? Shall she keep that
reputation of being the cleanest
and best in sports, the most success­ful
in business and the most loved
by her sons? You can keep it so if
day by day you will uphold' her
honor. You may strive to succeed
in business and thereby add to her
glory or you may love her devoted­ly
as her other sons have loved her,
and increase, by that much, the
respect the world at large has for
you and Auburn. Will you do
these things?
We feel that every one of this
student body is going to acquire
and live by the true Auburn Spirit.
Let's do it. It's easy. Be personal­ly
clean of body and in speech,
keep your mind free from idle and
evil thoughts. Love good clean
sports. Get interested in some good
course of study and dig at it. Meet
your fellow students and take part
in as many worthy activities as you
can without neglecting your work.
Be-one of the gang when the gang
is right and try to lead them into
the right course if they err. Where
ever you are and in all that you do,
"FflT 'EM HARD AND LOW BUT
HIT*%M\CLEAN. Then you are
a well balanced, normal man with a
controlling motive, love of Auburn.
That is wjhat makes an AUBURN
MAN. Tbjat is the AUBURN SPIR­IT.

STUDENTGOVERNMENT
OUR ALMA MATER
Every Freshman is urged to read
the Student Government Conatitu
tion in his "Rat Bible", in order
that he may fully understand his
own part in putting over the first
real year of Auburn's Student Gov­ernment.
As Article VII is or should be of
special interest to Freshmen, and
in order that each may realize the
seriousness of it, the article is
printed below.
Section 1. Freshmen shall wear
no hats or caps inside College
buildings.
Section 2. Freshmen shall wear

Wood of the Class of '24, our loyal
friend, who was cheerleader at
that time.
The words are given below, es­pecially
for the benefit of the new
students, and everyone is urged to
have them memorized by College
Night, September 12.
On the rolling plains of Dixie,
'Neath its sun-kissed sky,
Proudly stand, 0 Alma Mater A.
P. I.
To thy name we'll sing thy praise,
From hearts that love so true,
And pledge to thee our loyalty the
ages through.
Hail thy colors, Orange and Blue,
Unfurled unto the sky.
To thee, our Alma Mater, we'll be
true,
O, A. P. I.
Hear thy student voices swelling,
Echoes strong and clear,
Adding laurels to thy fame en­shrined
so dear.
From thy hallowed walls we'll part,
And bid thee sad adieu;
Thy sacred trust we'll bear with
us the ages through.
God, our Father, hear our prayer,
May Auburn never die.
To thee, O Alama Mater, we'll be
true,
Our A. P. I.

the year was held in a most unus­ual
place. Guess where 1 On a
big smooth rock in the middle of
a mill-stream.
It was also very unconventional
because each one there was garb­ed
in a bathing suit and faces and
arms were blistered by the sun.
All around were tall pine trees,
beautiful in the sunlight. The
millstream made a pleasant sound
as it tinkled, or thundered, over
the dam. The natural scenery and
orchestra added to the glory of the
occasion.
A group of six girls, representing
the Y. W. C. A. Cabinet for the
coming year, were those gathered
on the rocks. They" met together
to plan and work for the help of
the organization.
" This cabinet camp, for that is
what it was, is the first of its kind
ever held by Auburn students. The
girls now hope to make it an an­nual
affair and are working with
that aim.
The campers left Wednesday af­ternoon,
September 3rd, for Mitch­ell's
Mill, about seven miles from
Auburn, arriving there in the af­ternoon.
They immediately donned
bathing suits and repaired to the
water, where the first vesper ser­vice
was held.
ALABAMA'S COMMISSION
OF FORESTRY
"The Alabama Commission of
Forestry has received many inqui­ries
from owners of small forest
areas, regarding recommendations
for the sale of standing timber from
their lands," according to a state­ment
just issued by the Commis­sion.
"Information regarding mar­ket
prices of standing timber is
most often the particular item of
knowledge sought. Stumpage
prices offered by saw mill opera­tors
are extremely variable due to
many factors, the most potent of
which are: Species of the timber;
size, quality and quantity available;
nearness to a railroad or other
transportation facilities; eas^. of
loggifg (which pricaipall
land); local market conditions;
labor supply and availability of
saw mill operators in the immed­iate
vicinity. At present the prices
offered for both pine and hard­wood
stumpage, especially the lat­ter,
are very low. However, since
our timber supply is rapidly be­coming
exhausted, stumpage prices
offered are bound to increase con­stantly,
in the future. It is there­fore
an excellent policy for own­ers
to hold their timber that is not
fully mature, for future advances
in stumpage prices, and in so do­ing
take advantage of a three fold
increase in value due to growth in
price, quality, and quantity of the
timber. Forest land will produce
a valuable crop of timber every
ten or fifteen years if the cutting
is done properly and the area is
not burned over. The landowner
should aim to make his tract con­tinuously
productive by practicing
the priniciples of forestry."
WEIGH YOURSELF
With the advent of the scholas­tic
year a novelty has been intro­duced
by an enterprising down­town
merchant, in the form of a
new pair of scales for the use of
students in weighing jthemselves.
However the scales are not guaran­teed
to determine the weight or
amount of knowledge gained, they
will show accurately the amount
of avoirdupois taken on. If you
have not weighed recently do so
at your earliest opportunity and
keep check of your weight.
Statistics show that the Village
is located in the healthiest part of
the state and there are an excep­tionally
few cases of sickness re­ported
among the students.^..Stu­dents
have always thrived on the
climate^.the 'writer having gained
tw/elve pounds during his first
year, which he attributes to the
aforementioned excellent climate—
not over-eating. When you write
home tell the folks that you are
growing in body as well as in mind.

To win a woman's heart you ask
the way.
Yourself must find it.
A woman's heart 1 Why, Shakes­peare's
self
Has scarce divined it;
That riddle has perplexed man's
brain for ages,
Nor yet been solved by sinners,
saints nor sages.
Yet, as you ask me, well, I have a
notion,
As a beginner
'Tis best to show her not too much
devotion,
At first, to win her;
I think that she will find you less
fatiguing
The longer you contrive to be
intriguing.
Some pin their faith on gold as
love's best fuel.
No harm in trying.
And that a woman loves a pretty
jewel,
There's no denying;
And a humbler lover sometimes
finds it handy
To send her now and then a box
of candy. ,
Yet there are women who for love
alone
Will love you better,
Than for carloads of gold and
precious stones,
An artful letter,
A compliment well turned or even
a flower,
Weilds on her wayward heart a
magic power.
But last, I think, nothing as well
avaik;
As to amuse her,
The humorous lover very seldom
fails;
The solemn lose her.
Bring up your heavy guns of lov­ing
after,

college for fifty years with an op­tion
to re-lease at the expiration
of the present lease. Arr
ments were m&de by the college to
assist the paternity in financing
the project which made the new
building/possible.
For Several years leaders in this
fraternity have looked forward to
building of their own. They have
)ivaited for an opportunity that
came to them this year in a borne
which is thoroughly modern with
all conveniences for a building of
its kind.
Faculty members of the build­ing
committee are Professors Fred­erick
Biggin, F. W. Burns, P. P.
Powell, and Emmett Sizemore.
Student members of the committee
are Wallace McKinney and A. F.

building in Fraternity Row
other fraternities are known to
have the construction of a home of
their own under consideration.
DEATH OF POPULAR
AUBURN STUDENT
Auburn mourns the death
of Robert Henry Mayben of
Gadsden, Ala., who was a

Mayben was a student much
loved by his companions.
The faculty and student body
of Auburn extend their sym­pathies
to the grief-stricken
family.

Coach White, adjourned to the Pi
Kappa Alpha house where seygral
delightful hours were^p"ent in
dancing, at the specjJai invitation
of members of thgfraternity.
Ramsay Engineering
Building Under Construction
(Continued from Page 1)
This building was made possible
by the generous donation of
$100,000 by Erskine Ramsay of Bir­mingham,
for whom the building
is to be named. Mr. Ramsay is a
prominent engineer, capitalist, in­ventor,
coal operator, and banker,
and is probably Alabama's greatest
educational benefactor.

TIGER CAPTAIN
FOOTBALL PROSPECTS
'Fatty" Lawrence
Center.
NEW COACH
Auburn now has a new member
on the coaching staff, Mr. Herbert
Bunker, A. B. University of Mis­souri.
He will be the Tiger line
coach here during the coming sea­son,
taking the place of Coach Wil­son
who is now at L. S. U.
Coach Bunker comes to us with
an enviable record. He has the
unusual ability to .win a letter in
four sports, Football, Baseball,
Basketball and Track. He was
picked on the all-conference team
three years in basketball and two
in football. In football he was
—yicked as a tackle once and as
center once. He was captain of
the football, team in '22. Later he
coached Freshmen teams in the
four major sports, at the Univer­sity.
He says that he feels like Auburn
is the place for him and that he
never saw better prospects for a
good football team. We wish to
give our new coach a hearty wel­come
and show him what the Au­burn
Spirit behind a Tiger team
can do.
FOOTBALL PRACTICE
On account of the lack of room
. on Drake field and the bleachers
not being up, the coaches have
requested that the student body
not begin coming out regularly un­til
Wednesday. The men are only
going through a few workouts to
toughen them. No real practice
will begin before Wednesday, but
When Wednesday rolls around
you are expected to turn your
steps towards Drake Field.
The time is here at last and it
looks as if the old Tigers were go­ing
to run plenty wild this season,
and eat up several Bulldogs, Tor­nadoes
and the like. Twenty hus­kies
reported for practice on Drake
Field September 1st, and others
have been steadily coming in ever
since. Go out, look 'em over, and
test your lungs. Just think who
you will see there.
"BOOZER", after a full summer
of honeymooning is back at the
helm.
Coaches HUTSELL and COLE
have begun to build the strongest
Tiger team in several years.
MR. HERBERT BUNKER, our
new line coach, is already on the
job. He says that they call him
"Bunk" back in Missouri, but if
the writer is any judge, he will be
a very valuable bit of "bunk".
"FATTY" LAWRENCE after a
summer of playing with the little
boys at camps in North Alabama,
is gracefully feeling the pigskin.
"HARDBOY" PRUITT, comes
back after a very smooth summer
on a lumber truck, down in the
jungles of Clarke County.
"BATCH" OLLINGER is again
looking at an end position after a
few days in the home town. He
was what you might call a fashion
plate in Auburn summer school.
BUCK SPINKS comes in with a
"bang" from Finley's Crossing. The
population was decreased by a
large percent when he and Pete
left. *
"RED" HARKINS, lately the
chief official pole climber, house
builder and electrician for the City
of Auburn is looking for some­thing
to tackle.
"MINNIE" BRICE, who played a
society role in Charlotte during the
summer, is now getting ready to
play the role of a Tiger tackle.
"SWEDE" SITZ blossomed into a
genuine jelly as he covered himself
with glory on the diamond at
Sylacauga.
"BULL" McFADDEN was so for­tunate
during the summer as to
make a big hit with an Army Colo­nel
at Camp McClellan.
DEAN PETERSEN had things
all bumfuzzled during the summer
as he was about to attend Clemson
or L. S. U. this term,
"FENIE" CRANE, after research
sends back that nails in dark alleys
are bad on the feet.

AUBURN'S NEW
ATHLETIC FIELD
One of Auburn's long dreamed of
meeds has been supplied in the
new athletic field just north of
Drake Field. This term there will
be plenty of space for the training
of the numerous applicants in foot­ball
and base-ball.
The work was done under the
supervision of the Athletic Ass'n
and cost approximately $6,000.
The entire area covered is four
and one-half acres, and is suffi­ciently
large to accommodate two
foot-ball fields with a distance of
forty yards between them. At the
beginning of the base-ball season
the field can be made into two
base-ball diamonds.
An ample amount of tile drain­age
is a feature that will permit
the us of the field under almost
any conditions. Although the
ground is not yet sodded, it will
be, and other improvements will'
be made from year to year.
With the addition of this much-needed
space, and the return of so
many of our varsity men and last
year's Rats, this year should turn
out to be a banner one for the
Tigers.
MANY TIGERS
NOW COACHING
TIGER TRACK TEAM
The Auburn Tiger fights on cin­ders
as on grids and diamonds.
Last season Auburn won all three
of their inter-collegiate meets.
The victories were wrested from
Georgia, Georgia Tech, and Tulane.
Prospects are good for more vic­tories
during the coming season.
All students who would like to
pierce the cinder path with spikes,
report at the Gym on Monday Sep­tember
15 for Fall Practice.
BY SPECIAL PERMISSION OF THE
BIRMINGHAM AGE-HERALD
According to information being
received daily at Auburn a larger
number of ex-Tiger football stars
are engaged in the coaching pro­fession
than ever before. The fact
that practically every high school
and preparatory in the country
have football and other athletic
teams has caused a keen demand
for college-trained coaches, who
are employed to handle the athlet­ics
in the prep institutions.
Up in South Carolina, at Wof-ford
college, "Rip" Major, backfield
star and kicking ace, is head coach,
while at Trinity college in North
Carolina, Sam Burbage is starting
his third year as assistant football
coach and head coach in basketball
and track. "Moon" Ducote, who
was assistant coach with Mike
Donahue at Louisiana State Uni­versity
last year, has been elect­ed
as head coach at Loyola
next year. Ducote, who was one
of the best backfield performers
ever to play on an Auburn Tiger
team, played his last year with the
Tigers in 1917, after which he
turned out a number of excellent
teams at Springhill college in Mo­bile.
John E. Pitts, head football coach
at Auburn, has a record of being
one of Auburn's greatest centers in
the record-breaking years from
1910 to 1913. Another star of these
palmy days is Kirk Newell, who,
in addition to coaching in prepara­tory
institutions, was assistant to
Coach Donahue at Auburn in 1917
and for the past two years has
been freshman coach on the plains.
THREE NEWCOMERS
"Flivver" Ford, Captain "Rip"
Reagan and Fox Howe are new­comers
in the coaching game.
These three men will enter the
coaching field for their initial year
when the schools start in Septem­ber.
Reagan has spent the sum­mer
at the University of California,
where he took a coaching course
under the direction of Coach Andy
Smith, well known mentor of the
Pacific coast. Ford will be at the
helm of coaching affairs at Troy
State Normal. Reagan will be in
charge at Gadsden High and Howe
will coach at the Alabama Military
Institute at Anniston. Assisting
Howe at the Anniston institution is
"Pete" Garland, who played his
last year on the Auburn varsity in
'21.
"Red" Harris, one of Auburn's
best fullbacks, especially when his
weight was considered, will again
coach at Bessemer High, where he
has met with enviable success for
several years and has established a
fine record as coach of the Jeffer­son
County institution. The two
Creel brothers, Homer and Paul,
have signed as coaches at Marion
Institute, where the latter was lo­cated
last year. Homer Creel was
given the first degree in the coach­ing
world last year at Barton acad­emy
in Mobile, where he made a
good record.
Unconfirmed reports have it that
C. C. Bush and Edd Wrenn will re­turn
to Jacksonville State Normal,
where they turned out a good team
last season. Indefinite information
has also been received as to the
whereabouts of "Doc" Ray and
"Noisy" Grisham, who played their
lasLyear at Auburn in 1922. The
former was coach of the Hamilton
Aggies last year and the latter was
at Jackson County High at Scotts-boro.
Reports have it that Grish­am
will go to Prattville, while Ray
has accepted a position in North
Carolina.
SHIREY AT CULLMAN
"John Barleycorn" Shirey, demon
halfback and all-southern pick in
1922, will not return to the Lake
Charles (La.) iHigh School, but
will coach at Cullman High, accord­ing
to reports. Charley Scott, fleet-footed
half and voted at one time
Auburn's best all-round athlete, will
begin his second year at Fayette
County High in September. Willie
Campbell, for several years coach
at Troy Normal, has assumed his
duties as coach of the Hamilton Ag­gies,
taking the place of Coach Ray,
resigned. J. H. Brown of the class
of '21, will also be located at a
Marion County school this year, be­ing
at Marion County High at Guin,
Ala., being re-elected.
"Hub" Barks, baseball and bas­ketball
star on the Plains in 1919-
21, who has coached at the Pensa-cola
High school for the past three
years, has accepted a position as
assistant coach at Baylor in Chat­tanooga,
for the coming season.
"Big" Warren, according to recent
reports, has given up his coaching
work at Enterprise to resume his
profession in engineering, and is
at present with a road building
project in South Alabama with the
State highway d e p a r t m e n t.
"Bookie" Snapp, varsity manager,
and captain of the senior class
teams last year, has cast his lot
with the coaching profession and
will be located at the Geneva Coun­ty
High school at Hartford.
ALTERNATE CAPTAIN
'Hardboy" Pruitt
End
Among other coaches from past
Orange and Blue teams whose
whereabouts for the '24 season are
as yet unknown here are: Tom
Treadwell, who coached Barry
High last season; N. W. "Walter"
Camp, who was at Marengo County
High in '23, and J. H. Jackson of
Walker County High last year.

GIRLS DEPARTMENT J
WELCOME TO GIRLS SORORITIES
Big and Little Sisters All, th«
Y. W. C. A. welcomes you I We are
glad, glad, glad that you decided to
come to Auburn, or to return if
you've been here before. Little
Sister, if you need or want any­thing
just call on one of the Y. W.
C. A. girls and she will do her best
to help you. The Big Sister which
the Y. W. C. A. gave you will help
you to register and will show you
around the college. Don't hesitate
to ask her any questions you wish.
And now we want you to welcome
us, and make the Y. W. C. A. a real
part of your college life. Do you
know what it is for? It is to help
all the college girls of Auburn to
become all-round college women,
to show them how to get the best
out of college life by putting their
best into it, to enable them to think
better individually by teaching
them to think together, to bind
them to those best things in life
which lead to the fullest enjoyment.
Now listen, of course you are in­terested
in what you are going to
do after you finish college—every­body
is. Well it ought to be some­thing
you like and something you
can do best. Our Y. W. C. A. meet­ings
for the first part of the term
are going to be discussions, partly,
of what girls can do in the world
now. If there is something you are
specially interested in we will have
some person who knows about it
come and talk to us and tell us if
it is a possible field for girls, if
a girl could succeed in it, and
about how much money it is pos­sible
to get in such a work.
Well that is just one of the things
the Y. W. C. A. wants to plan to
be of interest and help to the girls.
It is your Y. W. C. A. and you are
the ones who make it, so it is you
we will have to depend on to tell
us what you like. Well, I'll tell
you one thing more, there will be
a party Saturday night, so be sure
to save that night for this event.
Big sisters are going to bring little
sisters and the big sisters are going
to dress as boys so that they will
be real dates. Don't forget! Sat­urday,
September 13th.
Sororities are a comparatively
new addition to Auburn's list of or­ganizations
but since they have
come they have multiplied rapidly.
We now boast four. A chapter of
Kappa Delta was established here
in 1922, and a chapter of Chi
Omega in 1923. All of these orga­nizations
send out their bids on
the same day, about five weeks af­ter
the opening of college.
All the sororities encourage high
scholarship and participation in
college activities. They stand for
good fellowship toward all the col­lege
girls.
GIRLS' ATHLETIC
ASSOCIATION IS
LIVE ORGANIZATION
Y. W. C. A. PARTY
Girls, don't make dates for Sat­urday
night because you'll miss a
lot of fun if you do. It's the night
for the Freshman Prom. All the
freshmen girls are cordially invit­ed*
to be at Smith Hall at 8:30, all
dressed up. The other college girls
will be there likewise, but not in
a recognizable state.
You Seniors, Juniors, and Sophs,
engage your beau's best suit and a
bottle of Stacomb for the grand
occasion. Come to Smith Hall
and give our little Rats the rush
of their young lives. If you don't
dance, come anyway, there will be
plenty else to do. This will be the
get acquainted party for the year
so anyone who misses it will be
out of luck. It is the Y. W. C. A.'s
night of welcome to the Freshmen.
Remember, no men allowed.
-The Girls' Athletic Association
was organized in the spring of
1924. Lvery girl became interest­ed
and there has been a hundred
percent membership. Through
this organization the girls have
been able to have a winning basket
nail team. Other sports in which
the giris indulge are swimming,
tennis, horseback riding, and hik­ing.
There has been a hiking club
organized with credit given toward/
the winning of a prize, for each
mile walked.
These sports are going to become
even more popular with the stu­dents
this year than ever. This
is because of the addition of a
new faculty member for the girls
Miss Daugette, of Jacksonville, Ala.
who will be the women students'
Physical Director. Be sure to
watch for a notice of the first meet
ing of the Athletic Association so
that you can begin at once to join
in one, or several, of the different
sports.
PASSING OF ONE OF
AUBURN'S OLD LAND-MARKS
WOMEN'S STUDENT
GOVERNMENT ASSOCIATION
The Women's Student Govern­ment
Association was organized
two years ago and has been func­tioning
wonderfully well ever
- The girls govern them­selves,
making all their own rules.
A high code of honor, in which
each one of the girls, individually,
is careful not to break a rule is
the result.
A Although student government
was at first rejected, as a whole, by
the student body, the girls adopted
it and it had been in successful
operation for a year for them,
when it was accepted by the boys.
Every woman student is expect­ed
to cooperate with the work of
the Association.
During the summer one of the
old landmarks of Auburn passed
out of existence. It was the little
green, wooden Episcopal Church
that nestled among the trees on its
property on Magnolia Street. Ever
since its erection some forty years
ago, it has served regularly and
faithfully the little band of Epis
copaleans who came there to wor­ship.
In turn, some of the out­standing
clergymen of this Diocese
have served as its minister, one
of the latest being no other than
the present Bishop Coadjutor of
this Diocese, the Rt. Rev. Wm. G,
McDowell, who was resident rec­tor
from 1919 to 1922. It was
during Bishop McDowell's resi
dence here that he put forth such
energetic efforts to secure a new
and modern Church building, and
the result of his labors is being
seen now. In the place of this
little building, there is already laid
the foundation of a splendid struc­ture.
When finished, there will be
under the same roof the Church
proper on the east side of the
building, and the Parish House on
the other side. The building is
being built of brick and stone. The
Parish House will be two stories
high, the first floor being built of
brick, and the second of brick and
stucco. Mr. Frank Lockwood, of
Montgomery, is the architect, and
the building is being constructed
by Mr. Algernon Blair, of the same
city. Prof. Biggin and Mr. Toom-er
are local advisors on the build­ing
committee.
Efforts are being made to finish
the Parish House first, and it is
hoped to have it ready for occu­pancy
by the first of the year. It
will contain an auditorium and
Sunday School rooms, Recreation
rooms for the students, club room
for the St. Paul's Club, kitchen,
shower baths, and various other
features.
The rector, the Rev. Geo. Ossman
with his wife, still maintain their
\
quarters in the Rectory, directly
behind the Church, and even
though one finds it rather
difficult to climb over the building
material in the way, it can be done,
and all will find an open door and
a hearty welcome. The rector is
always ready to assist any stu­dent
in whatever way he can.
The temporary quarters for the
Episcopal Church on Sundays will
be the Y. M. C. A. Building. The
regular services will be held there,
ach Sunday morning. Capt. Comp-
UD will conduct the Bible Class
for the students, known as the St.
Paul's Club, at 9:45 A. M., and the
rector will officiate at the regular
morning service at 11:00 A. M.
A hearty welcome is extended to
all the students and faculty.
