next week to assume his duties as
university secretary of the Presby­terian
church with headquarters at
Richmond, Va.
"Campus Christianity can be di­vided
into three phases of work, your
relation to God, your fellow man
and yourself. Religion is life, and
life should most assuredly be religion.
Religion is not going to church as
men differ in their various mental
actions. We must all model our lives
after Jesus, as by looking to Jesus
one knows what God is. Religion
is the interchange of God's spirit
with your spirit.

The first meeting of the Women's
Student Government Association
started the new year with a bang!
The attendance of girls was more
than it has ever been before and the
spirit of friendliness and good fel­lowship
was above the average.
Because of the failure of the pres­ident
elected at the close of school
last year to return this year, the
Vice-President, Miss Agnes Ingram,
conducted the meeting. Business, in
the form of "Rat Rules" for the
women students was taken up and
discussed by Miss Alberta Proctor.
The reasons for the formation of the
various rules and the expectations
of the upperclassmen in the obeyance
of them were definitely explained.
These rules read as follows:
1. Freshmen shall wear "Rat"
bands at all times except on formal
occasions.
2. Freshmen shall not at any
time go through the main entrance
to the college campus.
•3. Freshmen shall at all times
keep to the walks on the college cam­pus.
4. Freshmen shall not chew gum,
hold hands, or swing on the arms of
young men.
5. Freshmen shall give full sup­port
to all pep meetings.
6. Freshmen shall stay only on
the bleachers until ready to leave
the athletic field.
7. Freshmen shall greet all up­per
classmen in a pleasant manner
and shall remain seated after all
xtblw m«xjjgjg(r-tmtil- all -imnpvrla.ss-men
have'TeflT ~ '•
8. Freshmen shall not refuse to
lend to upperclassmen powder, hair
pins, needles, thread, etc.
9. Freshmen shall not jay walk,
lipstick or rouge conspicuously • at
any time.
10. Freshmen shall at all times
maintain" womanly conduct.
Miss Dobbs talked in her imitable
manner. The brief history of the
development o f the Association
through four years painstaking effort
and the hope for its future, laid the
foundation for her words. Her
theme was ably expressed in the say­ing,
"We build on the past in the
present for the future."
After the reading and explanation
of the new constitution by Miss Nonie
Wood an election was held for the
offices vacated by girls not returning
to college. The results were:
President, Agnes Ingram, Town
president, Clara Ellen Yarbrough;
Vice-president, Alma Bentley, Sec­retary,
Alberta Proctor.
A hurried adjounrment resulted
from the nearby tinkling of the six
o'clock bell.

Last Saturday "The Voice of Au­burn
was heard for the first time.
By working night and day the mem­bers
of the staff of WAPI succeeded
in reaching their objective; being
ready to put the Birmingham
Southern-Auburn game on the air,
play by play. The set was ready
hardly an hour before time for the
game, but it was ready!
The plays were telegraphed to
^ngdon Hall from the field in
Birmingham, they were relayed to
the station by telephone and so in­to
the air. Quite a few reports have
been received, all stating that the
game was received with all clear­ness.
Altho static got rather bad
during the latter part of the game,
the listerners-in were able to receive
every play.
All the rest of the games of the
year will be broadcast by the sta­tion,
and even better results are ex­pected.--
The final adjustments on
the set are yet to be made but the
staff is making rapid headway. The
first program of the year is to be
broadcast next Frdiay night. The
men at the station would appreciate
it very much if as many people as
possible would listen in and let them
know how the program is coming in.
All phone calls wires and letters will
be acknowledged. If you are inter­ested
in the station this is a good
way to help it get on the air in the
way it should.

EXTENSION COURSE
PLAN ANNOUNCED
BY DEAN JUDD
Eleven Colleges and Universa-ties
ar e Represented on Fac­ulty
in Charge of Courses
ias a row?
The program -of the extension
teaching courses to be given under
the auspices of the Alabama Poly­technic
Institute, during the col­legiate
year 1925-26, was announced
today by Dean Zebulon Judd, direct­or
of the extension teaching. The
officers of administration and facul­ty
are headed by President Spright
Dowell, Dean Judd and 21 members
of the college faculty at Auburn.
Courses have already been organized
in a number of counties of the state.
The rules and regulations govern­ing
the extension work have been
approved by the state department
of education and are designed to
give teachers in service over the
state the opportunity to receive train­ing
and credit in standard college
work.
"The successful completion of the
course offered," Dean Judd explain­ed,
"will authorize issuances of cred­it
toward B. S. degree and of a
training in service credit which in
turn may be made the basis of con­tinuance
and extension of certain
grades and classes of professional
courses which the helpful to teachers
will be given credit when taken in
extension. The general class work
in these courses will cover the gen­eral
information of the subject while
the topic assigned for home study
will bear more directly upon the
problems of the teachers in the field.
"Fifteen students will be the mini­mum
number required to study in
any group," Dean Judd added, "and
more than 50 persons may not be

in operation by the first of the year
The station now in use however is
about as powerful as any one in the
south. It should reach out for a
good distance. Every thing possible
is going to be done to make it just
as efficient as any in the south.
The schedule for the station has
not been announced yet but it will
be made public in the near future.
Altho the station will not be on the
•air as often as some of. the regu­lar
stations with a paid staff, it is
hoped that when it is in operation
the programs will be just as good.
This can only be possible through
the help of every "artist" in the vil­lage.
Some of you are going to be
called on quite often to express your
talents before the microphone. If
you can entertain, let the staff know
about it and you will be given a try-out.
The Growl of the Auburn Tiger
will be heard for and near from now
on and evermore. The station is here
for good, to tell the world about the
best school in the world. It is -a
part of Auburn and a big part at
that! Pull for it and back it. If
yju are called on to help, do your
part.

SECOND SEMESTER OF
1924-25 A SUCCESS
George Petrie, Profs James Richard
Rutland, Benjamin Roscoe Showal-ter,
Frank Alston Staples, Charles
Monro Strong, Dean Rupert Taylor
and Miss Henrietta Thompson.
The colleges and universities repre­sented
in the faculty included Colum­bia,
Harvard, University of Missouri,
University of Minnesota, Peabody,
Ohio State University, Carnegie
School of Technology, Massachusetts
Normal Art school, University of New
Mexico, University of Wisconsin and
University of Georgia.
At the second Semester, 1924-25
Auburn opened her doors to 38 stu­dents
who had not attended college
during the previous semester, which
made a total enrollment of 1372.
This was 128 less than had entered
at the first semester. The dropping
out of the students was due to sever­al
factors, some had been asked to
leave on account of being unable to
do the work, some were dissatisfied
with the surrounding conditions, oth­ers
were so unfortunate as to be call­ed
away by their parents on account
of illness .
Fortunately there were very few
who entered the second semester who
were compelled to go away for they
soon adapted themselves to the cli­matic
conditions, the method of
study and the jolly spirit of Auburn.
At the end of the semester there
were 191 who received degrees from
the college.

TELEPHONE NUMBER 238—W
HOMECOMING DAY
Next Saturday brings us to what should
be one)of the most important dates on
college calandar. Homecomng Day.
is the day when those men who have
trod where we are now treading return to
the campus to pay homage to their Alma
Mater and visit the scenes of their youth.
Homecoming Day is always a memorable
event in the history of our school but this
one is a red letter day in our annals. Of
primary interest is the fact that on the day
we clash with the Caveliers from Virginia
on historic Drake Field; but what is of
even greater interest is the_...dedic\tion
of the Ersld»° Ramsey Engineering Hall,
—arearei- «.J.urn""Lampaign," and laying
the cornerstone benefactors, philanthropic
of one Alabama's greatest benefactors, Mr.
Erskine Ramsey.
Some of the Greatest engineers of the
South ,and incidentally, Auburn graduates
will be hejmte-wv4tllfiss and take part in
dedication ceremoniesptncompany with
a number of the South's most note3~etJw--
cators, who will make this occasion in an
interesting one as well as a memorable
one by their presence and their addresses.
Students, show these men, who handed
Auburn down to you as she is today, what
a royal welcome is, and make them all feel
that they are still undergrads, and that
this period which they have spent out in
the world is merely an interlude, and ex­tend
to our distinguished visitors as hearty
sincere, and deferential a welcome as is
in accordance with Southern hospitality
and Auburn tradition.
DR. DRAKE RECOVERS
Upon passing the house of Dr. Drake,
college physician, a spell of gladess pre­vails
as the dear old gentleman has re­covered
from his recent illness and is back
on his porch enjoying the invigorating at­mosphere
of the night.
Dr. Drake recently suffered a relapse
and has been confined to his bed for sev­eral
days it being his first day of sickness
in fifty-four years. This is a record that
is equalled by few and it shows the goal
that can be reached by taking care of the
body with which God has so wonderfully
provided us.
"""-The... writer of this column has passed
Dr. Drakes house for three years after
evening has set in and always has seen his
familiar figure on the porch occupied in
reading or otherwise. Seeing this friend
is an inspiration to all, as he is a wonder­ful
example to model our lives after by
trying to lead a useful life as he has so
t'aithfQlly done.
He was missed much when sickness
necessiated his going to bed and many
prayers have been uttered for his speedy
recovery. God was kind and answered the
prayers by letting him get well despite his
over eighty years.
We thank Providence for letting him
get well as he has many useful years yet
to serve and may he live many more years
to aid humanity as he has so splendidly
done in the past. The Auburn Student
Body is glad to see the cheerful doctor well
and may the one we love and reverence
so much never gets sck agan.
LINE UP!
The main thing that most of us go to
college for is to get an educaion. There
is no doubt about that, but did you ever
stop to think, think real hard, of the other
things that college does to a man besides
just teaching him in the class rooms? Did
you ever stop to think why it is that you
can usually recognize a college man before
you even speak to him? What is the dif­ference
between the graduate of a corre­spondent
school and a'university? It may
be told in one word, Association! Contact
with your fellow students is one of the
major factors in making of you a college
man.
You may sit side by side with a man in
the class room and never really know him.
You may know him when you pass him on
the campus but you don't know what is
really going on in that man's mind. You
don't know the thoughts that are hidden
behind that man's eyes. You will never be
able to feel that you know him until you
have heard him voice his opinion on things
in general. You must either know this
man personally or link yourself with him
in some common enterprise. The place to
do this is in some club or other organiza­tion
which holds an interest common to
you both.
It is the various activities about the
campus that you get the association that
will mark you after you leave the walls
of your Alma Mater. Get into the club
that are doing things that you like to do.
When you line your forces up with a group
of fellow students in order to-accomplish
a given thing on the campus, you gain
something that you can never get else
where. Altho you meet a class to learn
the same subject you will not get that
thing that you will get from the club; the
thing that means so much to you while you
are in college and will mean even more
after you get out into the world.
When you stand beside your fellow stu­dent,
shoulder to shoulder, and work to­ward
a common goal, you will find a sense
of brotherhood and companionship that
you will not find anywhere else in the
world. The sense of loyalty to the orga­nization
that is common to you both will
be of untold value to you. This thing is
intangable but nevertheless it has a real
value that you will appreciate in after
life
Line up with the organization on the
campus that has for its purpose the thing
that interests you most. If you do not
' you are not getting all that your life on
the campus has to offer you. You are
missing something that will be of untold
value after you get out in the worl.d Try
it and see for yourself. You will find that
you have beenM passing by one of the most
such questions constantly before our eyes
and never let the bunch of vandals, who are
trying to gain control of this flourishing
metropolis of ours, get in their dirty work.
It can be easily seen by the deep thinkers
of the city such as myself, that if we never
let them get started, they will never be
able to get in any of their dirty work.
My reasons for wanting Auburn to be a
seaport town are as follows: First we have
ho idea how many young poets we have in
this fair city who may be doomed to blush
unseen and waste their fragrence on the
dessert air, unless we as citizens of this
town assure them the surroundings that
are necessary for the development of poets.
You have never heard of a poet in your
life who as a boy did not stray down to
the dock to watch the ships come and go.
Every poet in the business got his start
by wondering where the ships came from
and where they went. Are we going to
deprive them of the privaleges of mak­ing
Auburn famous just because we won't
appeal to Congress to make our city a sea­port
town? Let us forever hang our heads
in shame if we do. We have the students
garretts and the second hand books. If
we will only make our fair city a seaport
town we will turn our budding poets into
famous men and we will hear the name'
of our fair city ring out, to be heard
around the whole world.
I will publish other erasons that I have
at a later date. I will however tell you
the way in which you can gain your ob­jective.
Elect me to Congress and I will
become Speaker of the House. Then I
will put the motion before the House that
they make Auburn a seaport town. They
will gladly do so if they are approached
in the right way. The way I know. Elect
me and you will see. I will also be liberal
with free garden seeds.

CAN WE ABIDE WITH FATE?
The average person is often confronted
with this big question, but it is needless
to say that few of us let time abide its
fate. Fate has many things in store for
us, bringing to us sometimes a message
of joy while at other times messages that
are detrimental to our happiness and
pleasure. Life is often a result of fate,
and if luck is with you good destinies will
preside over your appointed goal. Can
yopf properly adjust yourself to your en­vironment,
surroundings and conditions,
and be glad and cheerful of your lot? -In­deed

All over the country colleges have just
opened. Many graduates of high school
last spring,are beginning new life in col­lege.
They are preparing for some trade
or profession from which they expect to
make a living. Many others closed for­ever
future advancement and education.
The door of opportunity is closed to some
because of conditions at home, or because
of poor preparation ,to others, simply for
lack of ambition, and a small group owing
to lack of money. However, lack of mon­ey
is a small item in the lives of hundreds
figure college young men and women in
the leading colleges of the country. Recent
figures show that a relative high percen­tage
of the students in the leading colleges
and universities of America either work
their way through, wholly or in part. In
addition, many of Amrica's leading citi­zens
and great men are men who have
worked their way through college. Below
are some figures showing the percentage
of the students in a few of better known
colleges who are working and paying their
expenses while in college.
Sixty-five per cent of the students at
the University of Missouri, forty percent
at Perdue, fifty per cent at the Universi­ty
of Kansas, thirty-three and one-third
per cent at University of Georgia, sixty
per cent at the Massachusettes College of
Agriculture, and over fifty per cent of
the entire students of Auburn are working
their way through college. 2382 out of
4808 of the students of the University of
Minnesota are easing part of their ex­penses,
and 1193 are earning all of their
expenses. Is it a disgrace for a man or
woman to work his or her way through
college?
William Jardine, Secretary of Agricul­ture,
a nationally known figure in agri­culture
and college circles, as well as
Secretary of Commerce. Herbert Hoover,
both worked their way through college.
President Farrell of Kansas State College
states that working ones way through col­lege
carries no stigma of any kind on his
campus; that working ones way is always
possible for a young man who has the
character. Mr. R. H. Silverton, Secretary
of Purdue University, Indiana, says, Pur­due
judges a man by what he is and not
by what he works at. Similiar statements
come from heads of the leading colleges
of the country.
Auburn, our own State College of Agri­culture
and Me'-hnical Arts has long had
the reputation for being friendly to work­ing
students . Men working their way thru
college and men who come* from homes

AUBURN A SEAPORT TOWN
There has been quite a bit of discussion
in various circles that thf city of Auburn
shouIcTbe macte a:'seaport town. I for one
think it should. I shall use this paper as
the means whereby I may tell a few of the
opponents of this issue just where I stand
and the reasons that I take this stand. I
hope they will read this article very care­fully
and if they wish they may answer my
arguments by the same method, as they
will not come out in the open arguments
in the barber shop and discuss this matter.
It is said that one of my opponents chal­lenged
me to an argument on this question
in our most esteemed temple of learning,
the pool room. The very same day this
magnii'icant structure was razed to the
ground and for two days resembled the
smoking ruins of Carthage. Might it not be
said, with good reason for this statement,
that we might suspect this vandal of the
crime? Does it not look that he regarded
his vain boastings and took this as his
method of evading the issue? It seems me
that this offers a very good clueto some
enterprising detective who might by its
use become famous. I don't want to talk
about the opposition, I do not indulge in
vain babblings, but I am an honest citizen
of this flourishing town and I went to see
those who are working for the best inter­ests
of our town carry the banner to vic­tory
through the beautiful streets of our
fair city. I believe that the men who are
fighting this important issue are members
of this crime wave that we hear so much
about and that they have an ulterior mo­tive
in view. Would you not rather have
the beautiful view of the rolling surf as
they have in Chicago, Detroit and other
seapoi't towns than the view that these
villians are trying to force upon us? I
believe any one other than a half-wit
would. It never has been my policy to
talk about any one but I do believe in
stating facts.
I believe that if this paper would spend
more time discusing important political
subjects such as this burning and less time
on the subject of foot-ball, that we would
not allow a small group of self centered
crooks to deprive us of the honor and com­mercial
value of having this alabastine city
of ours washed by the softly lapping wave­lets
of the beautiful sea. We should keep
satisfied and seek .to "make satisfactory
change^ j'—ardless of the cost and the
sca.'Vual involved. We certainly should not
regard life in a haphazard way, just ac­cepting
it as presented to us, seeking no
goal, but in reality letting our ultimate
aim its reward in death and the after life.

ROMANCE
The moon was shining bright. It cast
its beaming rays through the trees- and
listless shadows covered the ground, while
some were cast into the murming brook
and danced in mad glee with the ripples.
They were sitting on the bank, huddled
closely to each' other—both of them.
There was nothing to disturb them. Oc­casionally
a faint to-whoo could be heard
from a distant island, acting as sentinel,
perched at the summit of some stately elm.
They sat and listened to the soft and sooth­ing
murmur of the brook as it passed merri
ly on, each little droplet sparled in the
moonlight and then passed on and on into
the deep blue ocean. Only a very faint
breeze prevailed. The leaves moved gently
as if sighing at what was going on below.
Neither of them had said a word for over
an hour, she was growing impatient. He
was trying to gather up courage to ask a
certain very important qustion. There
was romance in the night air. He huddled
nearer and his arm wandered about her
waist and he drew her to him. All was
still, he grew determined but still neither
spoke. At last he spoke in a slow deter­mined
voice which echoed once or twice
among the trees; This is what he said;
"Maggie, dear. She said "Yes, Oscar. He
said, "what time is it?"
For four years the Gamma
Sigma Delta, Agricultural Honorary Fra­ternity,
has awarded a silver loving cup
for the best all-round junior in Agricul­ture.
Each time of the four cups awarded
have been won by students working their
way through college. In fact, a man's
ability to finance his way through college
is a strong index of his ability and charac-
• ter.
The young man or woman who has an
ambition for a college education can no
longer say that the doors of opportunities
are closed to them forever. They are wide
open, can be entered if they so desire.
"Seek and ye shall find, knock and it
shall be opened unto you."

Do You Know
We beat Birmingham-Southern. One
notch in the old tigers tail . But there
are a lot more notches running around
looking for a place to land and it is up
to us to guide them to the right spot. We
have here a little exchange from the Clem­son
Tiger. In it they seem to express the
hope that they will be able to beat both
Presbyterian College and Auburn. We re­gret
to say that they, Clemson were beat­en
last Saturday, and we hope that we
will have to regret the same thing next
week. Whether we do or not depends on
the team and on your rooting. Anyway
you will know what is expected of you and
here is what Clemson thinks of this game.
Beat Auburn
Just now athletic attention is centered
on the opening game with P. C. But
while it is true the Blue stockings must be
defeated, still the most important clash
comes a week later.
Clemson and Auburn are old rivals. And
Auburn is a leading team in the Southern
Conference, of which Clemson is also a
member. Victory over the South Carolina
state eleven is highly to be desired, but the
victory over the Plainsmen of Auburn
would crown the Purple and Gold with
laurels not to be obtained in this state.
Filled with tradition, the Tiger-Tiger
battle between Clemson and Auburn, is
a clash to be fought with every drop of
Tiger blood. The old boys will be here
for Homecoming Day. Let them see the
Tigers of Clemson scrap the everlasting
daylight out of the Tigers of Auburn.
Are vve downhearted?
It is the duty of the writer of this col­umn
to scan some twenty publications from
colleges every week, and he notices but
one major difference between those papers
of other colleges and our papers. Where
are our poets? Have we none of those
fair species upon the campus of this col­lege,
and if we have where are they hiding?
To be true this is a technical College
in the strict sense of the word, but do you
think for one moment that there is no
poetry about technical things. Take the
building of a great bridge or dam and see
if it is not just as good as a poetic subject
as the daisy. Many people consider that
it is childish to write poetry, but that is
merely displaying your lack of education
as a college man. Poetry was the first
means of expression that man possessed
and it has come down through the ages
as by far the best field for true express-jaiit._

can write better stuff than you thought.
In a few weeks we are due to go
traipsing over the country to play foot­ball
with the University of Texas in Dallas.
It may be said in passing that if the Uni­versity
has as good team as they have a
daily paper we are going -to have some
trouble. Their paper, "The Daily Texan"
conies out six times a week ,is seven col­umns
wide and is filled mostly with local
news. They have 148 members of the
staff and are certainly the largest college
newspaper in the south.

Prof. Donuthin; If you consider the re­lationship
between the ancient protoplasm

On the train going to Birmingham Fri­day
afternoon it seemed that Red Roberts
was the only one that had a copy of the

not want to give it up. When we at last
obtained it we found a nice size write-up
on the sport page in regard to Red. Now
isn't it wonderful to be so modest.

LIONS ADDRESSED
BY RAILROAD MAN
Declaring that the politicians of
the country are making a serious at­tempt
to wreck the railroad trans­portation
system, Major W. N. Mit­chell,
of Atlanta, Ga. general South-
Eastern freight agent for the Balti­more
and Ohio railroads, Tuesday
urged the members of the Auburn
Lions International Club to request
their representatives in congress to
prevent "hacking of railroads". Ma-
* jor Mitchell, honorary member of
the Veterans of Foreign Wars, punc­tured
his speech with quaint and hu-
^mdrous stories which brought rounds
of applause. Lion president R. S.
Sugg was in the chair, and ex-presi-de'ht*
W. H. Eaton introduced the
speaker.
Major Mitchell referred to the
congressional representative from
Birmingham, Mr .Buddleston, who
. £e--rr*d, th»«U--e»*d-ageneral strike
on the railroads unless tfte commttee
in congress reported outi;he Howell-
Barkley bill which was calculated to
br.eak. down the labor board. The
speaker also referred to the alleged
delapidated condition of the rail­roads
at the time they were turned
back to the operators by Mr. Mc-
Adoo.
"There is no business so closely
regulated as are the railroads", the
speaker declared, "the wagon we pay
our employees are regulated by the
Labor Board. Today our rates are
made by the Interstate Commerce
commission, and we cannot raise of
lower them. We have just recently
had an instance of a change in class
rates by the commission, and the
changes have been made in such a
way that to date the railroad rate
makers of the south, and the ex-cutive
officers, have not been able
to make heads or tails of those rates.
We are not allowed to borrow money
for improvements without first ask­ing
the commission.
"We are regulated and so differ­ent
from any other big corporation
that the officers in control of the
roads are men who have been in it
from the ground up, through every
office, are merely clerks of the poli­ticians,
and they are only left to per­form
the minor details."
"The railroads have never issued
any~ propaganda other than" adver­tising
what they have to sell, name­ly
transportation, but in the last few
years, since the return to private
ownership, a spirit has grown up in
the people, and especially in the poli-

SECOND MEETING
OF ARCHITECTS
WELL ATTENDED
On Tuesday night the second meet­ing
of the Architectural Association
was largely attended, not only by the
members themselves, but also by vis­itors,
who were not architectural stu­dents,
but who take work in the De­partment
of Architecture.
Before the regular program, which
consisted of two talks by members
of the association, a short business
meeting was held. It was announced
that all Freshmen who wish to enter
the Architectural Association may do
so by expressing their desire to some
officer of the Association and pre­senting
him with the first semester
dues of 50 cents.
Prof. Golemon suggested that all
men who desire to try out for the
"Architect's Quartet" see him after
the meeting. A quartet equal to the
one of 1923-24 is expected from the
good material which reported. Prof.
Golemon also spoke of the "Masquer-rade
Ball," which the Architects ex­pect
to have in the near future. Of
course several members of the fair
sex will be invited to this social func­tion.
Each architect is to design his
own costume and a prize is to be of­fered
to the one producing the win­ning
design.
The first subject on the program
was "Development of Architecture
in Florida." Mr. Burnett spoke of
the development which he himself
noticed in a recent trip to the "Gator
State."
- - T h e other number of the program
was "Klauder Tower," given by Rat
Brod. He told of the design and
purpose of this tower.
^Prtff. Osborne, the new Professor
of Design was called upon for a few
which will be undertaken this year,
words. He mentioned the work
mentioning the Southern Inter-Col­legiate
Competition, in which this
college will compete next spring.
Mention was made of the fine spirit
which exits in the Department, and
which promises to be even better as
the men learn each other.
The Critic, Mr. Ledbetter, made
a criticism of the first real meeting
of the year?" Meeting Adjourned.
CLASS IN PLAY
WRITING HOLD
FIRST MEETING
Thursday night the first meeting
of the class in play writing was held
in English office. This is the first
attempt to organize a class in dra­matic
writing at Auburn. Before
the year is over an evening of one
act plays will be presented from the
best efforts of this class.

DEMONSTRATION
AGENT HENRY CO.
Miss Clara Nale,' «'ho has been a
student at Auburn for the past three
years, began her work as home dem­onstration
agent in Henry County
August 15. She succeeds Miss
Martha McCall who resigns in favor
of matrimony.
Miss Nale entered Auburn in the
fall of 1922 with $200 which she
had made from the sale of canned
fruit, and with the ambition to be­come
a home demonstration agent.
Through her own efforts she has
worked her way through college,
with the aid of money borrowed
from scholarship funds. She was
dietician of the Business and Pro­fessional
Women's Club in Birming­ham
this summer, and could have
continued in this work but she pre­ferred
to be a home demonstration
agent. It had been the ambition of
Miss Nale to become a home demon­stration
agent since she was a club
girl in Madison County. She did
club work in her home county for
five years under Miss Evelyn Peyton,
work in home economics in three
years but did not receive her degree
because she was not allowed to take
all of her elective subjects during
this period. Her record is excellent.

When rural service lines bring electricity to the farmer's door, many
of his labor troubles are at an end. Motors, large and small, will do
the many chores of farm and farm house for a lew cents per day.
The Farm Electrical
Of the six and a half million farm homes in
this country, only half a million have electricity.
Still, the advantages cf electricity are widely
known. But there is mere to farm electrifica­tion
than the installation cf motors, lights and
heaters. Current must be brought to the farm,
and that means many miles cf transmission
line, supporting poles, transformers, and ad­equate
generating equipment.
Since its inception the Gen­eral
Electric Company has
pioneered in the various
fields of applied electricity.
Today G-E engineers are
co-operating with various
State agricultural commit­tees
in the study of farm
and rural electrification.
These committees include
members of the agricultural
college faculties.
A new series of G-E adver­tisements
showing what
electricity is doing in many
fields will be sent on request.
Ask for Booklet GEK-1.
Slowly but surely the electrification of Amer­ican
farms is taking place. As farmers learn
how to use electricity, rural service lines reach
out farther and farther into open country.
Six million farms to be electrified! Here is a
vast and virgin field for the application of
electricity, with countless opportunities for
college-trained men in the technical and com­mercial
phases of this undertaking. And for
the agricultural college student and others
planning a future life in rural sections, it means
a better, bigger, happier life-time now in the
making.

EXTENSION SERVICE
TO PLAY BIG PART IN
S T A T E EXPOSITION
The Extension Service at Auburn
will cooperate with the management
in conducting the State Pair in Bir­mingham,
October 19-24. County
agents and other members of the
staff will assist communities and
counties in collecting and preparing
exhibits, and perhaps one or two
special exhibits will be prepared for
this fair.
Announcement of these plans was
made by Professor L. N. Duncan,
Director of the Extension Service,
upon returning to Auburn after a
conference in Birmingham with R.
A. Brown, President of the Fair Asso­ciation.
Mr. Duncan said that the
home demonstration agents in the
Birmingham district are working with
their club women and girls in col­lecting
exhibits for the fair, and that
one feature of this work will be a
team of club girls who will demon­strate
club methods and practices
such as cooking, sewing, and many
other lessons which have been taught
them in their work.
L. T. Wells, extension dairyman,
is considering the feasibility of a
special dairy exhibit which should
be one of the most interesting fea­tures
of the fair, if it is arranged.
Other exhibits are being consid­ered
and will be added if found
practical
Those at the conference in addi­tion
to Prof. Duncan and Mr.Brown
were: Ed. A. O'Neal, President Ala.

TO ATTEND MEET
PECAN GROWERS
Auburn will be well represented
at the National Pecan Growers Asso­ciation
which meets at Selma, Oc­tober
13-15.
Prof. L. N. Duncan, director of
the extension, Miss Agnes Ellen Har­ris,
head of home economics, Prof.
C. L. Isbell, head of the horticulture
department, a*nd Miss Reynolds,
nutrition specialist are on the pro­gram.
This will be the first time
that the association has met in Ala­bama
for several years. The largest
attendance on record is expected.
Last year a prize was awarded to
the state having the largest member­ship.
Alabama won the prize which
was 100 pecan trees, given to the
State Experiment Station. These
trees were .sei,. out at Abbeville, at
one of the district agricultural
schools. Prof. Isbell, who has charge
of this state, is very anxious that
Alabama win this prize again. All
pecan growers find that the asso­ciation
is well worth their interest
and time.

FIRST MEETING
Due to some irregularties, an ac­count
of the A. S. M. E. initial meet­ing
of the year was not published
in the last issue of the Plainsman.
This little trouble has been adjust­ed
and all accounts will appear on
time in the future. Below is an ac­count
of the meeting held Septem­ber
23, 1925.
The society was favored by a
talk on the prospects, purposes and
intentions of THE AUBURN ENGI­NEER
by its Editor-in-Chief, Mr.
Garrett, a member of the A. I. E. E.
The meeting proceeded to elect mem­bers
to fill certain positions. .J B.
Williams was elected to represent
us on the Board of Control of THE
AUBURN ENGINEER. Last year G.
A. Preston was chosen secretary of
the group, but as Mr. Preston did not
return, F. P. Jones was elected to
fill the important office. Jos. R.
Gillette was elected as associate edi­tor
to THE AUBURN ENGINEER
for the Society and as reporter to
the Plainsman.
Professor Gormon, who has wide
experience in the Mechanical Engi­neering
Field, made the closing talk
on making the society interesting
for its present and prospective .nem-bers.
He also plecurr.i his full sup-port
again— fwfTne Society and we
feel honored in having such a valu-aole

EVANS LITERARY
HOLDS MEETING
The Evans Literary Society held
it's regular meeting Monday night,
Sept. 28, at 7 o'clock. The meeting
was very well attended by members
from all classes. The first number
on the program was 'Current Events'
which was very well given by Miss
Lottie Story. Mr. Baker Jones gave
a talk on "The Greatest American,"
and he chose as this man Thomas
A. Edison. Mr. Dean Collins was al­so
booked for a talk on the "Great­est
living American", and strange to
say, he also chose Mr. Edison, Even
though Mr. Jones covered Mr. Edi­son's
life pretty thoroughly, Mr. Col­lins
still found something else to say
about him, and by the time they had
both finished they had just about
convinced all of us that Edison was
the greatest living American. The
Francis brothers entertained the so­ciety
for a few minutes with their
music boxes, which concluded the
program.
During the business session the
society decided to take up some con­tinued
piece of work for the year,
and it was furthermore decided to
let the program committee decide
on the class of work to be taken. The
most enjoyable part of the program
was an announcement made by Miss
Leater, chairman of the program
committee, that we were to have a
social next Friday night. We plan
to leave from the front of the main
building at 5 o'clock Friday after­noon
and hike out to Yarbrough
spring where the social will take
place. All the present members, as
well as those who are contemplating.

I II times asked: Where
^ ^ \ do young men get
when they enter a large indus­trial
organization? Have they
opportunity to exercise crea­tive
talents? Or are they forced
into narrow grooves?
This series of advertise­ments
throws light on these
questions. Each advertisement
takes tip the record of a college
man who came with the Wes-tingbouse
Company within the
past ten years, immediately
after graduation from his
university.
This Graduating Thesis Bore Fruit
G. E. LUKK
BACKini9i7,
G. E. LUKE,
a Princeton
student, wrote a
thesis on heat
flow in electrical
apparatus. The
world was not
fired upon re­ceipt
of this opus; it went on, in
fact, very much as it had gone
before. But LUKE came to Wes-tinghouse,
where his interest was
encouraged. Today, although
less than ten years off the steps
of Old Nassau, he has completed
researches that have improved
the motor-and generator-build­ing
arts.
An interesting problem that
came to him here was the de­velopment
of an analytical or
mathematical method of pre­determining
the temperature of
a moto'- or a generator under a
given power cycle. Nothing so
comprehensive had been under­taken
before. When developed,
however, the method would per­mit
a more scientific application
of motors and generators to prac­tical
requirements. Safety factors
could be cut down. Smaller ap­paratus
could be used, with re­sulting
economies.
The work was exacting and the
researches not spectacular. In
the end, however, there emerged
a formula that is now the prop­erty
of the industry and that
stands as an important addition
to the field of engineering in­formation.
This incident shows the op­portunities
which the electrical
industry affords the research en­gineer
of genuine endowments.
Today this young man has charge
of the insulation section of the
research department, with an or­ganization
of three physicists and
five assistant physicists.
His work calls for the broadest
kind of experience, for it relates
to every kind of electrical appa­ratus
in which heat flow occurs.
Half the problems of his section
are referred to it by other de­partments
of the Westinghouse
business—they are in the nature
of emergency calls. The other
half are of the department's
own initiating. From these
come mi'ny of the most revolu­tionary
developments in the elec­trical

stiff scrimmages which took
place during ,the week boarded the
train out of the Fairest Village
Fridpy Morning for their second bat­tle
of the season, it being the twen­tieth
time in twenty-six years that
they have prepared to meet the
Clemson Tiger.
This game will mark the official
start of the conference as far as the
Tigers are concerned, as Clemson will
be the first conference foeman to
face the Morey squad this season.
During the nineteen times that these
two worthies have faced each other
onthe^grid the Tiger of the Plains
has strode away with the honors ,on
fifteen occasions, while Jungaleer
opponent has had the mark on his
side of the ledger but three times,
one game resulting in a zero dead­lock.
The game will form a part of the
home-coming celebration which will
be held on the Clemson campus and,
with all of the supporters and old
grads of the institution, the Clemson
species of Tiger is going to attempt
to sharpen his molars at the expense
the Auburn variety for the first time
since 1906.
TIGERS TROUNCE
PANTHERS IN
SEASON OPENER
In their initial appearance of the
current season the Tigers swept the
fighting Panthers before them dis­playing
a running attack, intersper­sed
with several very suspicious over­head
flips and pierced the Birming­ham-
Southern goal line on four dif­ferent
occasions, Saturday .afternoon
grabbing the verdict 25 to 6, before
a crowd of approximately six thous­and
persons.
Hundreds of Magic Citians turned
on to .see the Plainsmen swing into
action for the first time witli their
new coach, David Morey at the helm,
and the crowd Wasn't dissapointed
in the least for the Moreyites, as
soon as the whistle gave them the in­vitation,
proceeded to cut things up
in general and when the tide of bat­tle
had receeded, the Plainsmen
found themselves high—higher than
anyone seemed to expect—but with
but one thing to mar the situation.
The Panther of Sunshine Slopes had
carried the oval past a goal line de­fended
by an Auburn Tiger for the
first time in history.

its own back yard for one of its j g o t t e n wel1 underway, the Tigers
biggest games. Though the Clem- i p u s h e d t h e i r w a y o v e r t h e Southern's

of a team to which>?r3Sacf"rieVer be'

carried the pigskin several
times within scoring distance only
to fumble at the crucial moment,
while their more fortunate opponents

" SEA COW" TURNER
Paul "Seacow" Turner is another
Tiger who has done noble work and
who some day may see his name em­blazoned
on the list of the chosen
few who represent the best in the
pigskin ranks. Turner, who is wear­ing
his numeral for the second time
is from Oxford but is now making
his home in Birmingham when not in
Tigertown. Paul adds to the list of
those-who are taking Civil Engineer­ing,
and is now in his junior year.'
We first remember this person
when he appeared on Drake Field
with the Marion Cadets to do battle j
with the Tigers. The Tigers with |
several all-Southern picks in their
ranks, romped away with an easy
victory but Turner made himself
known and felt with his famous line
plunges.
Turner has two more years to per­form
in a Tiger uniform including
the present season, and before that
time is up he ought to cut a little
ice and carve a name for himself.
He received a leg injury in the
Birmingham-Southern game that may
prevent Fiim from getting into action
for weeks. Meanwhile Salter will
have to carry most of the burden on
his shoulders when it comes to any
line plunging activity.
Clemson College, S. C, Sept 30—
(Special to The Plainsman)—All is
set in the liar of the Clemson Tiger
to receive as honored guests and
ferocious opponents the Tigers from
the Plains of Auburn. The Tiger-
Tiger game will be the Homecoming
Day affair for Clemson, and the lar­gest
crowd of the season is expected
to rally in the Riggs Field stadium.
Clemson's team is a green and in­experienced
one, but its potential
power seems to be great. The defeat
suffered last Saturday at the hands
of the Presbyterian College of South
Carolina has only served to make
the Tigers more set in their determi­nation
to "Beat Auburn."
The probable line-up
Clemson team will be:
End. Finklea, Captain .

Black and Gold jerseyed squad play­ed
as though they had succeeded
where Ponce De Leon failed, the
Drewmen starting a strong, steady
inarch down the field that carried
them over Tiger goal line for the
first time in history. The drive was
given impetus when "Bullo" Williams
chunked the ellipsoid twenty-five
yards to Malloy. The Panther look­ed
as though he was going to have
things his way for awhile, but Greene
bobbed up and nailed him securely
before he could negotiate any fur­ther.
After a few short thrusts at
the line and a few passes this, same
Williams got funny again and slip­ped
around the Tiger right end for
a neat twenty-yard total and his mate
Childs chipped the remaining for
yards but that lay in the Panther's
way. Which concludes the story of
the first and only time the Panther
has accomplished such a feat.
On several other occasions the

"CLABBER" WILLIAMS

"Clabber" Williams scintillating Ti­ger
half, who showed the crowd at
Munger Bowl just how touchdowns
are made when he plunged over the
line on three occasions.
Ernest Emmett Williams, to be
more specific, comes to the Fairest
Village from Chattanooga, Tenn. and
is wearing Tiger uniform for his third
year. He is studing secondary edu­cation
when not on the football field
and is in his senior year.
"Clabber" specializes in place kick­ing
besides his well known speed and
cleverness when carrying the ball
across the enemy territory. Last
fall the Tiger won a name for him­self
when he Sent two long drives
over the uprights from placement in
the Clemson game thereby insuring
victory for the Plainsmen. The first
of these kicks sailed upward from
the 52-yard line while the second
took the air from the ^47th stripe.

Williams, the ground gaining de­mon
of the Southern game is play­ing
his last season as a Tiger and if
he continues at the pace that he
has set thus far Buckshot will not
have to go very much farther to
insure a place for himself on the
mythical all-Southern eleven.
The Auburn Tiger is making pre­parations
to do battle for the twen­tieth
time since the next to the last
year of the nineteenth century when
he met and twisted the tail .of the
Clemson Species of Bengal to the
tune of 34-0. A glance at the rec­ord
shows that the Clemson variety
has strolled off with premier honors
on three occasions only, while the
Plainsmen have not suffered defeat
since 1906 and haven't been scored
on since 1912, Therefore the dope
points to a victory for the Tiger of
the Plains.

Casual Comment
With the Panther well disposed of
the Tigers are concentrating energy
on the Tiger of the roaring variety
which holds forth at Clemson S. C.
This will be Auburn's first game
with a conference team. '
A glance at the records of games
played against one another by these
two teams reveals some very inter­esting
facts. Nineteen games have
been played with the Auburn Tiger
taking Clemson foe into Camp 15
times. The Clemsonites grabbed the
honors on three occasions with one
resulting in a zero deadlock.
The Clemson's haven't crossed Au­burn's
goal line in any way shape or
manner since the fall of 1922. Since
that time the Plainsmen have tallied
194 points.
The Tigers were more successful
in the matter of first downs, run­ning
up a total of sixteen while the
more unfortunate Panthers were able
to register nine. Seven of the Tiger
first downs rung up in the first

Auburn was penalized five yards off

was stopped by Pruitt for no gain.
Williams made three at center. Beck

Williams lost three at around left
a tie is sufficient to put a crimp in
a teams aspiration.
To begin with our Tigers move to
do battle with another Tiger. When
Tiger meets Tiger fur is sure to fly
and we can cast our eyes around at
a real battle. The roaring Tigers of
Clemson this year, however, are not
as strong as they were, as several
of the stars of last year have come
to the parting of ways, being lost
by graduation and through the med­ium
of a strike that occured just
after the Clemson-Auburn game of
last year. This strike deprived the
tigers of a number of their best per­formers
and so weakened the team
that it never could get on its feet
again.
The Tech Yellow Jackets again

battle should ensue as both of these

Last fall the game between
these two resulted in a victory for
the Red and Black by a lone touch­down.

of one of them.

The Rats still have a couple of
weeks remaining before they tackle
the first foeman called for on the
schedule. Meanwhile only Coach
Brown has the faintest idea of just
who is going to get the call when
the squad lines up against the How­ard
Bullpups. The individuals seem
to be all par when it comes to doing
their stuff and Coach Brown will
have to summon all of his ingenuity
to pick the best material. We are .
told that some one player has to be
better or worse than the other but,
after watching the rodents in a few
of their rough and ready scrimmages
we are inclined to doubt the statet-nient
very much.
With a large injury list accruing
from the game last week, we are
likely to see several new men in the
opening line-up with Clemson. Tur­ner
got his right leg bunged up in
the third quarter of the game and
indications are that the Tiger pile
driver will not be able to play for
several weeks at least. This means
that Salter will more than likely
share all of the burden unless Skip­per
Morey decides .to de^ttfmnoiAT-
' - ' ^ • ' • a c k for the occasion and this
is very improbable.
Though our Clemson foeman to be
fell victim to Presbyterian College
last Saturday the Tigers rushed the
Presbyterians off of their feet dur­ing
a large part of hte game while
their opponents were standing still
The loss of the game resulted from
breaks which included two blocked
kicks and figured in the scoring.

came dressed in old-timey fashion;
the girls with their long "grandma"
dresses and the boys in knickers and
large buckled shoes. As the guests
arrived they were introduced to
Gen. and Mrs. George Washington
who acted as host and hostess.
Proms were first enjoyed and en­abled

The Auburn Chemical Society
held its first meeting on last Wed­nesday
nite. The meeting was open­ed
by the president who gave a short
talk as a matter of introduction of
the Society to the new men. This
was followed by a talk from Prof.
Martin. This talk was not only inter­esting
but one of instructive value
well. Prof. Martin went into the dif­ferent
details of Chemical Engineer­ing,
giving the advantages and dis­advantages
of each division. Many
of the men present will really benefit
from this talk. Prof. Martin put his
ideas over in a way that any one
could understand. His talk was en­joyed
by everyone present.
It is the purpose of the Society to
make its programs for the entire year

The first meeting of the Home
Economics Club was held last Wed­nesday
afternoon in the Y. W. C. A.
Building. .From the large number
present and the interest shown at
this meeting we are sure this will be
one of the most successful years in
the history of the Club.
A few new officers were ejected
to fill the vacancies by those who
were elected last year and did not
return to College. The officers for
the new year are: Alma Bentley,
president, Mildred Lock, vice presi­dent;
Anamerlc Arant, secretary,
Chessie M. Cleskey treasurer, and
Oriel McGinty, reporter.
After the business had been attend­ed
to the President delivered an in­teresting
talk welcoming both old
and new members into the club for
the new year. She also gave a sur­vey
of the aims and ideals of the club
and urged the necessity for th-: full
cooperation of every member in or­der
to read these ideals. Miss Hen-
