JUNIORS HOLD ELECTION
OF OFFICERS AT BANQUET
Abe Robinson Re-elect­ed
Class President;
Editors Publications
Selected
The annual banquet of the Junior
Class was a gala event at the Stu­dent's
Club last Saturday night. The
decoration committee, on which For­ney
Ingram was chairman, had dec­orated
the mess hall in the class
colors, purple and gold, together with
the Orange and Blue and the scene
was indeed a lively one when the
Juniors began to assemble.
Despite the inclement weather,
three long tables were lined with
members of the class of '27. The
light supplied by candles, after the
' heavy rains had put the electric plant
out of operation, seemed to enhance
the spirit of fellowship and bring all
a little closer together.
Abe Robinson, president of the
Junior Class, performed the part of
toastmaster to perfection while ad­dresses
from Dr. B. B. Ross, Capt.
K. G. Althaus, Major John E. Hatch,
Roy Dimmitt, and Emmett Sizemore
were greatly appreciated.
The banquet was served in three
courses which were very nicely arran­ged.
The customary cigars and cig­arettes
were very much in evidence
after they had been passed around,
and the structure was soon hazy with
blue smoke through which the strains
of the music furnished by the Auburn
Collegians seemed to lazily float.
Excellent entertainment was ren-
'dered by he quartet composed of
Rat Hendry, W. H. Strong, W. H.
Francis, and A. P. Francis while the
yodelling of W. H. Francis rounded
out a-very pleasing musical program.
Cricket Lane,- of Charleston fame,
__ rendered* foj^isiSipretati Hi of +ha.t
fantastic contortion in a very charm­ing
manner and was the recipient of
many encores.
The result of the class election was
announced by Forney Ingram, chair­man
of the Nominating Committee,
and these were followed by short
speeches of appreciation from the
newly elected officers. The officers
of the Senior Class will be: President,
Abe Robinson; Vice-President, Shor­ty
Long; Secretary, Put Putnam;
Treasurer, Cap Carter; Historian,
Dick Yarbrough; Poet, Alberta Proc­tor;

is the outgrowth of a long felt
need in our Southern colleges for
some recognition of the efforts of
those who seek the truth through
philosophic research.

DRAMATIC CLUB
GIVES COMEDY
At the last meeting of the Auburn
Players Monday night, the play, "All
Gummed Up," was presented for the
approval of the society. This comedy
brough forth considerable mirth from
the members of the society who did
not participate directly in the same
one act production.
Emma Gerhardt coached the play,
which had an all-star cast including
R. P. McKinnon, Eunice Stinnett,
Lucille Totty, John Youngblood, and
Percy Beard. The Players have fea­tured
several clever one act plays
at their regular weekly meetings
throughout the year, thus making the
entire personnell skilled in this art.
It also aids the various members to
ecquire practice in various parts.
The Auburn Players are doing
great things this year, as evidenced
by the wonderful plays that they
that they have made. The officers
have presented and the great hit
of the Auburn Players are Dryden
Baughman, president; Mildred Locke,
vice-president; Alma Bentley, secre­tary;
Alberta Proctor, treasurer; H.
P. White, property manager; O. T.
Ivey, business manage:;. Mildred
Locke will present for the approval
of the society, the tragedy, "The
Monkey's Paw," Monday night, April
26.
ENGINEER STAFF
IS ELECTED AT
JOINT MEETING
Putnam Will Lead Staff of The
Engineer; Board of Gov­ernors
To Be Picked
W. H. H. Putnam, of Birmingham,
was elected editor of the Auburn
Engineer for the coming year, at a
joint meeting of the engineering so­cieties
held last Wednesday night
in the Engineering Auditorium. J.
M. Edwards, of Tuskegee, was elected
business manager at the same time.
Before the election of the staff
members a set of articles governing
the selection and actions of the staff
were read to the joint meeting and
unanimously adopted. One feature
of the articles was that it gives the
actual control of the magazine to
a governing board made up of one
member of each of the engineering
societies. The staff is thus put
under the control of the societies.
The editor in outlining his policy
explained that the members of the
staff are selected solely on merit and
interest shown in the success of the
magazine, and he urged those who
are interested in this field of work to
drop by and be given a tryout.
PENNY SUPPER
WILL BE HELD
THIS WEEK END
Saturday night from 5:30 to 8
o'clock the Methodist Church will
have a very unique affair in the form
of a penny supper. The maximum
charges for the supper will .be 40
cents, which is for the ones possessing
big appetites, but for others you buy
what you want for 1 cent each por­tion.
The money will go to a very
good cause, and all are invited to
attend, and extend your appetites
to capacity. Don't forget the day
and the hour at the Methodist Church
Sunday School parlor rooms.
EVANS RECEIVES
LOVING CUP GIFT
The Evans Literary Society was
presented a handsome loving cup at
the regular meeting Monday evening.
The donor was Prof. W. A. Evans, Jr.
former English professor here and
founder of the society. The inscrip­tion
reads: "Presented by W. A.
Evans, Jr., to the Evans Literary
Society Alabama Polytechnic Insti­tute
April 1926." On the reverse
side will be engraved the names of
the most valuable members for each
year. This cup represents a high
goal for each member of the organ­ization
and is the visible symbol of
the love and interest of the founder
for the society.

DR. PETRIE GIVES
TALK ON IDEAS
OF JEFFERSON
"Thomas Jefferson was the great­est
political philosopher the country
has ever produced," Dr. George Pe-trie,
dean of graduate studies, declar­ed
to the class in currenf events I rm,r Bnste%«"*fcj
Tuesday night. '*One hundred years
ago death claimed Jefferson as its
own. Fifty years previous to that
time he wrote the Declaration of
Independence. On April 13, thirty-three
years before this document, the
Virginia child blinked at the sun for
the first time. It is these facts
which have caused the name of Jef­ferson
to be on every tongue of the
nation during this week.
Dr. Petrie continued, "Jefferson
was one of our greatest presidents.
All presidents are considered great
men, but Jefferson should be named
as one of the outstanding presidents.
George Washington, Thomas Jeffer­son,
Andrew Jackson, Grover Cleve­land,
Theodore Rosevelt and Wood-row
Wilson have led all other men
in gaining fame in the presidential
office. As years pass the name of
Jefferson stands out as one of the
greatest of all names.
"Many writers have risen to fame
over night, then have fallen within
a very few years, and their names
are heard no more. Jefferson was
not this kind of character. He was
the author of the Declaration of In­dependence
which has e x i s t ed
througout the history of the United
States. He also wrote inaugural
addresses, and very striking letters.
One of his outstanding matserpieces
was, "Notes on Virginia." '
"Every public school, high school,
and college building, is a monument
to Jefferson. He not only set forth
the principles of education, but he
took a leading part in the organi­zation
of the present school system.
The thought which predominated his
idea of education was that of free­dom,
not merely the freedom of body
but the freedom of mind and reli­gion.
"Believers in the republican party,
as well as those of the democratic
party, have the greatest of regard
for democracy. The voice of de­mocracy
may have been advanced by
men other than Jefferson, but he
was the father of this movement.
He led this movement as Moses led
the children of Israel to the promised
Land.
"In regard to democracy, Jefferson
had three main objects in mind. They
were: decentralization of govern­mental
powers, judicial execution of
states rights, and democracy for all.
The staff of the Alabama Farmer
has been elected for 1926-27. G. B.
Phillips and J. H. Hixon from the
junior class and G. S. Williams and
J. D. Tucker from the sophomore
class compose the board of control
for the Farmer for the coming year.
The staff elected for the coming
year is composed of the following:
G. B. Phillips, Editor-in-Chief; J. F.
Hixon, Associate Editor; S. L. Wor-ley,
Managing Editor; Rowe Johnson,
Editor Campus Farmer; J. M. Her-r;
F. 2. Uut-tream,
Circulation Manager; John
Garrett, Advertising Manager; and
E. T. Bright, Local Circultaion Man­ager.
Due to the fact that the circulation
of the Farmer has reached a thousand
and duetto the high quality of artir
cles that have been published, the
Alabama Farmer has recently been
admitted into the College Association
of Magazines of the United States.
This association is composed of the
leading college agricultural maga­zines
of the United States and the
Farmer is rated very high on the list.
EIGHT SENIORS
GRADUATE WITH
HONOR IN ROTC
In a report to the commanding
General of the Fourth Corps Area,
the following Seniors ip the Reserve
Officers Training Corps were desig­nated
as Honor Graduates:
John B. Patterson, Field Artillery
Unit.
William E. Hooper, Field Artilley
Unit.
Joe M. Spencer, Field Artillery
Unit.
Oliver T. Ivey, Field Artillery Unit
Robert K. Posey,- Engineer Unit.
Yancey M. Quinn, Engineer Unit.
Charles M. Kearns, Infantry Unit.
Terrell E. Phillips, Infantry Unit.
This list has received the approval
of the president of the institution.
On March 1, 1926, one hundred
and sixty students were enrolled in
the second year of the advanced
course.
The Auburn Glee Club, composed
of thirty-four male voices, will ap­pear
in concert Saturday night, April
17, at 8:15 P.M. The local club has
always been regarded as one of the
premier organizations of its kind in
the South and has never failed to
please large audiences in whatever
cities it has played.
The trip which had been planned
for next week hcs been cancelled, and
the club will not take to the road until
the following week.
According to Prof. Bidez, instruc­tor,
its initial appearance on the cam­pus
will be featured by the quartet
which is unusually good this year. It
is composed of "Rat" Hendry, W. H.
Strong, W. H. Francis and A. P.
Francis, all of whom have been heard
here before.
As usual the Mandolin Club will be
one of the strongest drawing cards on
the program, and this year, with an
increased repertoire of popular music,
should be very well received.
The soloists always call forth an
unusual amount of applause and four
soloists occupy an important position
on the music menu. They are: W.
H. Francis, W. J. New, Junie Pierce,
and M. G. Smith. For two years the
yodelling of Francis has added effec­tiveness
to the annual recitals of the
club and he has probably received
more encores than any other single
songster during the past perfor­mances.
The Auburn Collegians, who have
leaped into prominence both as a
dance and radio orchestra, will put
•y.\ ~i» ait of v.iiuest distoraoii
known as "Jazzmania." It is guar­anteed
to add pep to any program
so'watch for it.
The entire club will sing a number
of choruses which will comprise both
popular and jazz selections.
The personnel Of the organization
will leave next week on a trip, du­ring
which they will appear in the
cities of Greenville, Brewton, Geneva
Dothan and Troy.

SERIES OF VERY
FINE PROGRAMS
ENGINEERS WILL
HAVE BOAT TRIP
The hike planned for the Engin­eer
Unit of the R. O. T. C. for this
week end has been supplemented by
a barge trip down the historic Chat-tahoochie
River, 'on May 1, 1926, on
which the members of the S. A. M. E.
will be the guests of Major Bethel.
Further details of this outing will
be given in the columns of the Plains­man
next. week. i c
Have you been to any of the re­cent
meetings of the "livest organ­ization
on the campus." If you
haven't then you are not following
the example of numbers of non-Ags
from this side of the campus, who are
almost weekly visitors at the meet­ings
held on Wednesday night in
Comer Hall. Even some of the fresh­men
from the ranks of the Engineers
are catching the Ag spirit, and some
are coming out to listen in on the
peppy and interesting programs
which feature every meeting.
Under the subject of "Tin," E
T. Bright gave a humorous accout of
some of his observations of the tra­vel
worn cars retruning from Florida,
which have some very unique and
original sayings painted on them
which clearly show what the tourists
think of the Florida boom.
"Ted" Atkins gave a good talk on
"Ferrets" and brought out some in­teresting
facts in regard to the life
and habits of these little wild ani­mals.
The real feature of the program
was an impromptu quartette given
by the "Barnyard Quartette" of the
club, which received hearty applause.
The quartette is comosed of "Shorty"
Culpepper, Bass; "Red" Arant, Con­tralto;
"Hank" Gowder, High Tenor;
and "Pee Wee" Perry, Soprano.
S. L. Worley gave an interesting
account of how Auburn got its name.
The next meeting will be held on
Tuesday night of next week, instead
of the regular meeting night, for the
purpose of holding the debate be­tween
the Auburn Ag Club and the
The Y. W. C. A. held its election
of efficers for next year last Sunday
afternoon.
The meeting opened with an old-fashioned
"sing" and sentence pray­ers.
The purpose of this was to put
the girls in a spiritual frame of
mind so that they could think and
try to conscientiously elect the right
girls for each place.
The elections were as follows:
president, Mildred Cheshire; vice-president,
Beth Siebold; secretary
Lottie Story; treasurer, Dot Taylor;
and undergraduate representative,
Catherine Hare.
The new cabinet has been selected
and the old and new cabinets will
work together for the rest of the
year.
Many interesting plans are offered
for next year and all Women Stu­dents
are urged to come to the week­ly
meetings and take part in making
the Y. W. C. A. more important than
ever before.
A cabinet camp will probably be
given and not only the cabinet mem­bers
but also any other member of
Y. W. C. A. who is interested will
be made welcome at this camp. The
purpose of this camp; which is given
immediately after the opening of
school, is to unify the thoughts and
ideas of the girls and to complete
the plans for the new scholastic year.
In addition to this the Y. W. C. A.
is to give jointly with the Student
(roverpr>!ont organization an enter­tainment
sometime during the last
part of April to raise funds with
which to cover running expenses.
Definite improvements are in pro­gress
on the Y. W. C. A. hut, and this
is to be made into a better home
for the girls.
The cabinet for next year is:
Morning watch and vesper, Alberta
Proctor; social committee, Dorothy
Duggar; personal service, Sabrie Wil­liams
; keeper of archives, Hazel
Arant; world fellowship, Emma Gep­hardt;
program committee, Celeste
Nesbit; Plainsman reporter and pub­licity,
Catherine Nunn; ways and
means, Elizabeth Mardre; Music,
Rubye Russell; big sister committee,
Lucile Totty and Eloise Floyd.

AUBURN MEETS
MERCER SOON IN
BATTLE OF WITS
Does the college student know
what he wants? Does he get what
he wants? Does he have a clearly
defined idea of what he wants to
get out of college, and then go after
his ideal? Are our college students
today as well educated as our fath­ers
were when they were college stu­dents?
These questions will be answered
in the debate between Auburn and
Mercer University, April 22nd. The
question is: Resolved, That the Elec­tive
System now in vogue has result­ed
in a superficial type of college
education. Auburn will defend the
affirmative, Mercer, the negative.
Auburn will be represented by J. W.
Stewart, a sophomore in the Agricul­tural
department and Coke S. Mat­thews,
a freshman in General Bus­iness.
'The Mercer men are Eugene
Cook and Charles Walker.
Auburn has thus far participated
in two debates this year. We lost
to Florida, and won from Birming­ham-
Southern, and the Auburn men
feel that they are going to win from
Mercer. Let's have a good crowd on
hand to hear this interesting ques­tion
debated and to let the Auburn
men know that Auburn is backing
them.
The debate is called for 8:15,
Thursday evening, April 22, in Lang-
"Besides being always ready for
the job at hand, the successful man
continually prepares for the job high­er
up," O. E. Edwards, prominent
lawyer of New York City, with of­fices
in. the Woolworth Building, and
alumnus of Auburn, declared to the
freshmen at their regular weekly
convication exercises last Tuesday.
The speaker was introduced by Dr.
Dowell, who told of Mr. Edwards
graduating here in 1894 in electrical
engineering, but later resigning from
this field and entering the legal pro­fession.
He has rendered very con­spicuous
service to his alma mater,
being past president of the New York
alumni chapter and now secretary of
this organization.
"A good American home is the best
educational institution that is known,
as a good home is ebsolutely essential
to provide the correct environment
for a men," the speaker continued.
"George Washington was the most
educated man of his day, and very:
probably the most educated man that
America has ever produced. His
great education can largely be attri­buted
to the fact that he was raised
in a good Christian home, with his
home life being all that would make
a good man. There is no education
that is enjoyed more for studying
than the education of Washington,
as his brilliant record .started early
in life and continued until his death.
He was very thorough in whatever
he undertook, making a practice of
doing what was always right. At
the age of fourteen Washington was
more educated than the average cit­izen
of today. He had a keen de­sire
to master the hard subjects, nev­er
shirking work because it was hard.
At the age of eleven his father died
and it fell his difficult task to step
in the shoes of his father, by helping
raise the children.
"He always mastered the easier
jobs first, and then prepared himself
for the ones next higher up. His
first so called easy job was his con­flict
with the French which he won
with very little effort. He played
a very conspicuous part through
many long years, and was soon rec­ognized
as the most able man in
America. The success of his cam­paigns
was largely due to bis great
faith in God, his life seemed to be
charmed in battle, as he always enter­ed
the fight and made himself a tar­get,
displaying his patriotism. Wash­ington
was very sucessful as a plant­er
being the first man to introduce
scientific methods in agriculture. He
knew exactly how to handle men,
his management was so shrewd that
he kept their good will and spirit
always alive. His unusual judge­ment
was not surpassed, he foresaw
many great things that came to pass
in the future. New York has be­come
one of the greatest states in
America due to its great waterways,
this fulfilled his prophecy exactly as
he predicted great things for this
state.. His rare judgement was fur­ther
displayed by bis appointing the
best meA in the United States as sec­retaries
in his cabinet when he was
elected president. He was a com­mon
place men that embodied the
principles taught by Jesus Christ.
"We have the finest and grandest
country in the world, in reality it is
a poor man's paradise. If we would
be grateful to Washington we must
embody his sound principles in our
every day life."

that I am allowed to present the first

TELEPHONE NUMBER 238—W
From the view point of a General Bus­iness
student the privilege of making the
inspection trip was a liberal education
within itself. While learning the theory
—of business organization from textbooks
the tours of the firms visited furnished
an insight into the organization and oper­ation
of the businesses that was practical^
and will prove invaluable to those making
the trip.
Each business house visited furnished
a guide to direct the students through the
departments and explain in detail the fun­ctions
of each department separately. Fol­lowing
this round table discussions were
held, lectures were made by officials of the
organization and questions were asked and
discussed.
To visualize the enormity of a company
employing three thousand people or three
hundred people, as the case may be, one
must have the experience of seeing for
himself just what is bein gdone and secure
information from experts connected with
the business. Such problems of economic
importance were explained to the students
in such a way as to thoroughly familiarize
them with the multitude of problems being
dealt with in business fields today.
Among the organizations visited were
those covered by the business course and
those to which students will go when they
have graduated. Wholesale houses, steel
mills, power plants, water works, real es­tate
offices, hotels, stock exchanges, and
banks were visited.
The intinery was arranged by Mr. L.
Sevier, president of the Associated Indus­tries,
and the students were accompanied
by Dean Rupert- Taylor to whom the stu­dents
are indebted. Although the inspec­tion
trip is optional with General Business
students, all students of this department
should avail themselves of the opportunity
of making the trip and securing the prac­tical
knowledge that is to be gained from
it. /
BOUND BY CLOSER TIES
Word has been recently received that
an Auburn rat distinguished himself in
the technique of introducing speakers. The
older boys conference was held last Sat­urday
in Selma, and an appropriate man
was needed to introduce the speaker. Guy
Tate of Auburn, and last year's president
of the Hi Y club of Selma, was called on
to introduce and present the speaker, Coach
Wade of the state university, which he did
in a very creditable manner. He is to
be highly commended, not only for what
he said, but the fine manner in which he
said it. Coach Wade's reply to his intro­duction
was a further sign of the apparent­ly
fine spirit which exists between the
two state institutions. The full contents
FOR GREATER SCHOLARSHIP
A recent editorial in the Auburn Engin­eer
shows signs of encouraging' better
scholarship along engineering lines, and it
is so well worded and written that we pass
it on to you for your approval.
"Why not an 'Engineer Cup,' or
other prize for the best junior in the
college of engineering? Not neces­sarily
the man with the highest grades,
for that is not everything, but the
one who takes an active part in cam­pus
activities, is liked by his fellow
students, and yet finds time to main­tain
a good scholastic standing, would
be the one to receive this honor.
"We admit that the idea is not
original with us, for the same scheme
is now in effect on the Ag campus,
and the curious point is, that it works.
We, as an extremely young publica­tion,
are not adverse to accepting
good ideas coming from others, espec­ially
where they have proven success­ful.
The successful engineer is one
who is willing and anxious to learn.
He is always a student, trywig to find
new things and new ways to do old
things.
"The idea has been mentioned to
a •few of the engineering students and
without exception they expressed
themselves as believing such an award
would come to be a really coveted
honor, thus confirming our own be­liefs.
They were approached, not
with the idea of asking their financial
support, but to obtain an idea of the
students trend of mind along that
line. Indeed, the leadership in an un­dertaking
of this nature should be
taken by some group of upperclassmen
organized for the purpose of encour­aging
study, activity, and character,
since it would help to further the prin­ciples
of the organization. Taking
a casual glance over the leading and
logical ones, I t seems that the honor
societies, the combined engineering
societies through a responsible com­mittee
of upperclassmen, or the Au­burn
Engineer, are the most likely
contenders for this privilege. Of
course it is too late for this to receive
consideration for this year, but it is
not tdo soon to start planning for
next 'year.
"The Engineer feels that it has a
place on the campus bigger tfian the
mere presenting of information be­fore
you, good as that may be. In
working for the good of the engineer­ing
school, it will be our purpose to
sponsor any movement that is for the
betterment of the students and the
college in general, and to follow ti
through, using every means that is
right to obtain our goal. This might
be called one of our first. The ob­ject
is to foster a great activity of the
engineers in college and department
life, and to arouse the students' inter­est
to such an extent that a suitable
reward may be made for all-around
excellence.
"No suggestions as to the exact
nature of the prize have been made,
but what the student suggesting was
in favor of was a truly honorary a.-
ward. An appropriate loving cup or
medal, neither of which have mone­tary
value, would not invite corruption
to enter into the selection of the
winner."
the very worthwhile services it is trying to
give —forced always backward'and back­ward
into a position of ever greater in­feriority
as compared with public support­ed
institutions of other states".
Gently the politicians are asked to put
aside scratching, log-rolling, and give the
university impartisan attention: "Shall
we tell you what people in Georgia are
saying? They say that you are honest
men...But they are afraid! They are afraid
not of your good intentions. They are
afraid that here and there personal feel­ings
will be allowed to creep in. They are
afraid that motives will develop less utter­ly
unselfish and generous and statesman­like
than those which ought to dominate
your deliberations. They are afraid that
among partisan and secondary issues, the
fundamental issues will be strangled."
BIG PAUL BUNYAN REVIVED
Paul Bunyan is a monstrous and Mythi­cal
lumberman who romps through a hun­dred
legends current in the forests of the
Northwest. Such a gigantic tent housed
Paul Bunyan's men that when the wind
rippled the canvas, flocks of duck, mista­king
it for a lake, dashed themselves upon
it from a nearby mountain.
When the school of Forestry at the
University of Montana planned its twelfth
annual Forester's ball a Bunyan motif
was appropriately chosen. Huge prints,
30 inches long, 13 inches wide, showed the
students that Paul himself had walked
across the campus of the Men's gymnasium
where the dance was held. The students
attended in forester's costumes, (hobnails,
however, were forbidden). They entered
the hall by sliding down the logging chute
which Paul is reported to have carried
about under his arm wherever he went.

HENS IN CONTEST
SHOW INCREASE
IN PRODUCTION
During the 23rd week of the Sec­ond
Alabama National Egg Laying
contest which ended Saturday night,
April 10th, 4520 eggs were produced.
This is a' decrease of 84 eggs over
the production of the 22nd week.
This brings the totajl production to
date to 84,526 eggs, or an average
of 84.53 eggs per hen. The thous­and
hens in this year's contest have
produced since November 1st, 10,009
eggs more than the birds in last
year's contest, or an average of 10.01
eggs per hen higher than the record
last year.
During the past week 8 pens in
the contest produced 54 or more
eggs. The pen producing the great­est
number of eggs^ belongs to Riley
& Kihtner of LaFayette, Indiana,
with a production of 58 eggs. Two
pens tied for second place; a pen of
Barred Rocks bwned by Mrs. Chas.
H. Ham and a pen of Rhode Island
Reds owned by Oscar Reinhart which
produced 57 eggs. Eight pens in
the contest produced 53 eggs during
the week.
42 individuals claim a position on
the honor roll this week by producing
seven eggs for the seven day period.
At the end of the 23rd week of the
contest, 10 individuals out of the
thousand have produced 131 or more
eggs since the first of November.
The highest individual in the contest
to date is a White Leghorn belonging
to Riley and Kintner of Lafayette,
Indiana, wjfh a production of 141
eggs to her credit. It might be in­teresting
at this point to know that
high individual in first contest was
a Barred Rock owned by Mrs. D. T.
Tatum of LaFayette, Alabama. This
bird had 142 eggs to her credit at the
end of the 23rd week. There are
two birds tied for second place. Both
of these are alternates; one owned
by Lee Poultry Farm and the other
by Riley and Kintner. Each have
136 eggs to their credit.
During the past week there were
few changes in the relative position
of the leading pens in the' contest.
It seems now that the birds in pen
4 and 54 are going to put up a
wonderful race for first honors. Du­ring
the past week pen No. 54 owned
by Riley and Kintner of LaFayette,
Indiana, cut down the lead of the
Marshall Farm pen to a three egg
margin. It will be interesting to
watch the performance of these birds
for the next 28 weeks.

Fighting Submarines with. Elevators
When the American people answered
"War" in 1917, no matter was of more
importance than the readjustment of the
great industries to the conditionsof war,
and no contribution to national defense
was more exacting than that of the Otis
" Elevator Company.
It was a long way from the ordinary
operations of business buildings through­out
the country to the North Sea in war
time, yet strangely enough Otis auto­matic
leveling or micro-drive elevators
proved one of the most valuable innova­tions
in connection with naval warfare.
Up to the time the American Navy
became a factor in the World War, it
had been impossible to lay, in the North
Sea, the contemplated mine barrage,
which it was hoped could be used to pre­vent
submarines from skirting the north
end of the British Isles. This had been
impossible, because the time required
-to get the mines overboard prevented
successful results. The Otis Elevator
Company cooperated with the American
Navy and provided automatic leveling
elevators for the delivery of the mines
from the hold of the mine layers to the
main deck, where they could be put ,,
overboard at such frequent intervals
as to make the laying of the barrage a
success.
In an article published several years
ago, Captain Belknap, U.S.N, who was
in command of the mine laying squad­ron
at the time, stated that in the nine
months or more of operation, in which
sixty thousand mines were handled in
and out, as well as many more in the
course of drills, there was only one
occasion in which any one of the thirty-two
elevators was shut down. This was
the fault of the operator, not the elevator,
in that it was run too far up and jammed
there for a few hours, but without
causing any delay in the mine laying
operation.
In war as in peace, theptis Elevator
has become one of the indispensable
parts of our civilization.
Otis Micro-Drive' 'Elevators, as developed for the mine laying ships and for the
gteat Army and Navy Bases.at New York and Boston, are now in constant use
throughout all parts of the.country in office buildings, hotels, department stores,
warehouses, terminals and factories. The automatic leveling feature eliminates
"inching"at the floors, obviates the stumbling hazard in passenger elevators, as well
as saving time in operation, and increasing the life of the apparatus. On freight
elevators it also provides an exactly level landing to facilitate the handling of freight.

Tech Rats Cop Bengals Drop the
Two Games From Second Game to
The Baby Tigers Tech in Atlanta
Coach Brown's Eat basebalKkam
took on the Tech frosh last Friday
and Saturday making: their first ap­pearance
on the home grounds. The
Junior Jackets won the first game
10 to 4. The game was somewhat
slow and marked by frequent hitting
on both sides. Bates, pitching for
the Tech Rats, managed to keep the
eleven hits he gave up well scattered.
He was never in any real trouble
and sent ten of the Tiger hopefuls
back to the bench via the strikeout
route.
Strong got the first call from
Coach Brown to take oyer the mound
and started off like a big leaguer,
retiring the first three men in easy
fashion. _ In the second inning the
Tech Rats managed to count twice
as a result of a free pas? to Parham,
followed with singles by Dempsey
and Dunaway. • Ingram relieved
Strong in the fourth inning after
Tech had scored two more runs. It
was in this inning that Smith, Tech
short stop, pulled the unexpected by
stealing home. Cannon grabbed off
individual fielding honors of the
game, making a pretty catch of
Bate's fly to center in the seventh.

Second Game
Red Brown's boys seemed to be
out to wreak revenge Saturday, and
the Frosh mentor sent his pitching
ace, Addison McGhee, to the slab.
But loose fielding behind the Macon
lad cost the Tigers their second
straight defeat to the Junior Jackets,
4 to 3. »
For the first three innings McGhee
breezed along -nicely, things going
mighty well with only ten men ap­proaching
the platter. In the mean­time,
Wright, peppy catcher for the
Bengal rodents, had unloaded a sin­gle
and scored on two sacrifices and
an error.
In the sixth the Atlantans knotted
the count at one all when Parham
was safe on Howard's error and
came in later on Appleton's error.
In the eighth the Techmen romped
on McGhee for three runs. This was
due more to McGhee's sudden at-
. tack of wildness than to anything
'else. This ended the scoring for
Tech, but it proved enough to stow
away the ball game.
McGhee, first up for the Auburn
Rats in the eighth, picked out one of
Hill's slant; and smacked it for .four
TIGER TRACKSTERS SHOW UP
WELL IN THE TECH RELAYS
After getting away to a six run
lead in the first frame the Tigers
were again beaten by the ancient
Bengal enemy Georgia Tech, 13 to
7.-
Two twirlers worked for each team
and Cann, who labored for the At­lantans,
was bumped in the very first
inning, when the Tigers started re­igning
base hits all over the lot, and
six men dented the plate. Cush
Wood hied himself to the showers in
the third, going out in favor of Pat
Moulton who faired little better.
Both teams scored in the first inn­ing,
the Moreymen opening hostili­ties
with half a dozen, while Tech
was content with four. Ellis, first
up for the Tigers, rolled out. Dick
Maury was given free transportation,
and went to second on a passed ball.
Hitchcock made it two down by rol­ling
out to short. Wallis then un­corked
a screaming tripple, sending
in Maury. Akin singled, sending
Wallis across. Fobb James followed
suit. Akin took third on Angley's
error. Ben Sankey then hit his sec­ond
home run of the season scoring
Akin and James ahead of him. Cann
was going up in the air and Ebb
J.imes singled. Wood was given four
bad ones and went to first. Kan­garoo
Buck Ellis, batting his second
time in the inning, sent out a double
scoring E. James and sending Wood
to third. Maury ended the scoring
when he popped to Moreland.
Tech got four men across in the
first inning. Wilder rolled out to
Wood. Moreland singled. Reeves
was safe at first when Stewart muf­fed,
Moreland taking second. Ang-ley
came through with a two-ply
smash, scoring Moreland and Reeves.
The mighty Doug Wycoff, then poled
one for the circuit scoring Angley
ahead of him. Merkle walked, Crow­ley
flew out. A single by Brewer
sent Merkle to third, but Wood stop­ped
the rally when he forced Cann
to pop to Stewart.
The Tigers made their last run of
the game when Hitchcock got life
on an error, went to third on a copple
of fielder's choices, and came in on
4 1 0 2 1 0
3 0 2 9*0 2
bases, this being the only circuit
swat of the series.
These two teams tie up again April
24 and 25 in Atlanta.

HutselPs Crew Wins Highest Honors in Four of
Sixteen Events; Greene Wins Broad Jump;
Snyder First in 220
Coach Wilbur Hutsell's Auburn
Tigers, in their first competition of
the year, in the Tech Relays, last
Saturday, copped first Southern hon­ors
in four of the sixteen events in­cluding
the 220, broad jump, half
mile relay and high hurdles.
Nineteen colleges and universities
were in attendance. There were also
a number of high schools and gram­mar
schools.
Snyder, the galloping ghost of the
Plains, romped home first in the 220.
The Tiger speed artist, in carrying
away the honors in this event, estab­lished
a new Auburn record, nego­tiating
the distance in 22 and 1-10
seconds.
Pea Green Wins Cup For Broad Jump
Pea Greene started his last track
season for the Hutsells by vcoming
through first in the broad jump. The
tall Tiger football star hauled him­self
over 21 feet 1 and 1-2 inches
of terra firma to win a gold medal.
Greene was also presented with the
Trimm cup.
The Tiger relay team composed of
Snyder, Broughton, Greene, and Nel­son,
took second place, the Univer­sity
of Indiana winning the event.
The Tiger representatives easily out­distanced
all of the other southern
entries but were not quite fast e-nough
to overtake the fleet Indian-ians.
In copping second place hon­ors
the Auburnites hung up a new
record for future southern teams to
shoot at with a mark of 1-31 and
8-10.
Baskin Nosed Out By Guthrie in
High Hurdles
After showing his heels to Guthrie
of Ohio State, national high hurdles
champ, Weemie Baskin had the mis­fortune
to trip over the last hurdle.
This was hard enough to throw the
Carrolton lad off his stride, allow­ing
Guthrie to win by a six inch
margin.
Nelson emerged fourth in the 220
yard dash, while Shorty Morrow came
in fourth in the 2-mile.
First Dual Meet Saturday with Tech
In the first dual meet of the sea­son
Saturday afternoon at Drake
Field, the Tigers will take on Georgia
Tech cinder artists. As the Techmen
are reputed to represent a well bal­anced
aggragation, the meet should
prove an interesting one;' The Ti­gers
are conceded to be somewhat
weaker on the cinder paths this-year,
being more or less of a special event
squad.
Fob* James' hit. After this inning
the Tiger scoring stopped, the Mo­reymen
being able to register but
two safe swats during the remainder
of the contest.
The Yellow Jackets went into the
lead in the third inning when they
repeated their performance of the
first stanza in the matter of making
four runs. Four consecutive hits in­cluding
doubles by Angley, Wycoff,
and Crowled, did the work.
Two more runs were put across in
the sixth, one in the seventh, and a
couple more in the eighth, making
the Tech total stand at thirteen for
the afternoon's work.
The Moreys made nine hits to fif­teen
for the Techsters. Seven of the
nine garnered by the Tigers came
in the first two innings.
Angley, Tech catcher, enjoyed a
perfeect day with the willow, getting
five hits out of as many trips to the
plate. Included in the five blows
were a trio of two basers, and one
three base wollop. Wycoff was sec­ond
with the stick getting a single
a two base hit, and a home run in
five times up. The big fellew also
pilfered a couple of sacks. Wallis
and Fobb James were the leading hit­ters
for the Tigers, each getting a
couple of hits out of five trips.
The Tigers outdid their rivals in
the matter of errors, piling up half
a dozen, to one less for their oppo­nents.

Hutsells Meet Strong Foe in Facing
Yellow Jackets; First Dual
Meet of Season
Tigers Lose First
Tilt to Techsters
By a 5-0 Score
Reeves Clinches Game with Homer
in First Frame
Coach Hutsell's Tigers will per­form
for the first time on the local
cinder path, Saturday afternoon,
when they tackle the strong Yellow
Jacket combine from Georgia Tech.
The Tiger mentor has had a rather
rough road to travel this spring due
to the fact that graduation of a num­ber
of stars of last year left gaps in
the present outfit, and few of the
men have sufficient seasoning to fill
the shoes of the departed.
As a result the Bengal aggrega­tion
is not as well balanced as it
has been for the past few years, and
stands a chance of dropping the first
dual meet in five years when Hut­sell's
representatives go up against
one of the strongest and best balan­ced
crew of cinder artists in the
south.
Both teams boast of a number of
individual stars. In the Tech lineup
will be found such names as Hood,
Perkins, Koontz, and Roberts, while
the Jungaleers lay claim to Snyder,
Greene, Baskin, Morrow, and Nelson.
Hood came through with the shot
put record in the recent Tech Relays,
while Perkins in the high jump,
elevated himself over the bar at 5
feet 10 and 3-4 inches. Koontz, the
sensational sophomore, will be on
hand to defend the Jacket cause in
the 440. Last year the Techster
romped home first in the Southeast­ern
A.A.U. with a time of 50.8 sec­onds.
An interesting event will be the
race between Shorty Morrow, Tiger
distance man, and Roberts of Tech,
the south's premier cross country
runner. These two will lock horns
in the 2-mile.
Another Tornadoist, who is regard­ed
somewhat highly in the Tiger
camp is Ivey. Ivey annexed third
place honors in the discus chunking
department in the relays last week.
The Tiger lineup appears to be a
little lopsided, with most of the stars
in the sprinting and distance depart­ments,
and with few luminaries to
defend the Orange and Blue in other
events.
One of the fastest men the Hutsells
have to offer is "Speedy" Snider.
Snider, who is rated as the fastest
known individual on the campus, had
little trouble in coming through first
in the Tech Relays, and the hopes
of the Tigers rest to a large extent
on the Birmingham lad.
"Pea" Greene, former grid star,
will share in the broad jumping. The
tall Tiger holds the Auburn record
for this event. Greene won this
event in the Tech Relays by a margin
of one half inch, nosing out a second
place Tech man.
Baskin and Greene are two big
stars who will work in the high hur­dles.
"Weemie" placed second last
week, being nosed out at the last
hurdle by Guthrie of Ohio State.
The Bengal relay squad also pla­ced
second in the meet, losing by a
nose to Indiana.
To sum up, the Tiger chances ap­pear
strongest in the sprints, hurdles,
and in the broad jump, and weakest
in the 440 and high jump. The loss
of Bobby Lock, one of the best pole
vaulters in the south last year, and
who has handled that department
successfully for the past three years,
Auburn 610 000 000— 7

After annexing eleven of their first
thirteen contests, the Moreymen
found the slants of Edwards, Tech
moundman, to be a little too much,
and were given their first whitewash
of the season when they got the
short end of a 5 to 0 score. Edwards
allowed his opponents but half a
dozen will destributed bingles, and
was never in danger. Reeves, Tor­nado
shortstopper, stowed the con­test
in the refrigerator in the first
inning, when he smacked out a long
one for the circuit, sending Wilder
in ahead of him.
Dog Face Sheridan, who graced
the mound for the Moreys in the
opening frams, was touched for five
hits and three runs in the starter.
The big Bessemerite lasted until the
end of the fourth stanza, .;jgetiring
after two hits had netted an equal
number of tallies for the Techmen.
Sheridan was given credit for his
first loss of the season. Potter re­lieved
him in the fifth and worked
the remainder of the fray in fine
fashion, the Atlantans finding him
for but two hits.
The Tigers got a man on the sacks
in the first innings when Hitchcock
singled with two down. Wallis end­ed
the Tiger half by roling out to
short.
Wilder started the fireworks in the
first inning for the Techsters, when
first up, he lined out a two baser.
Sheridan forced Moreland to roll out
but Reeves came to the aid of the
Jacket cause when he busted one into
the far reaches, tallying Wilder a-head
of him. Angley then singled
into right. Merkle sent another sin­gle
into left, and Crowley fired one
into right, scoring Angley. Ellis
ended the agony by capturing Brew­er's
fly, retiring the side.
With three runs separating him
from the Tigers, Edwards settled
down to pitch a steady game. The
Tigers had several opportunities to
score, but good fielding on the part
of the Atlantans killed off their
chances.
The best chance of the Tigers came
in the sixth when they succeeded in
filling the hassocks with but one
down. But a fast double ended the
rally. Potter started the frame by
singling. Ellis lifted to Wilder. Stew­art
singled sending Potter to third.
Hitchcock was safe when Moreland
bobbled his bounder, and the bases
were loaded. Wallis lined out what
appeared to be a sure hit, but More-land
grabbed the sphere and forced
Hitchcock at second. Reeves threw

In turning back the non-sorority
basketball squad, 7 to 5, Monday
night, the Phi Delta Rhos won the
loving cup presented by the Women's
Athletic Association. Creel, captain
and center for the winners, was the
outstanding- star of the game, scoring
three of the seven points made by
her team. Betts also played a good
game. Sabrie Williams, all-state
guard with Andalusia, truned in some
excellent guarding for the non-soror­ity

has left a big gap which is only par­tially
filled.
The sprints will be taken care of
by Captain "Nurmi" Nelson and
"Speedy Snider. Tamplin is the
only one named as yet for the 440.
Cliff Morrow, who is one of the
best distance men in the Tiger camp,
has been out due to a side injury and
is just now rounding into shape. The
little Tiger will probably be in con­dition
for the week-end engagement
and will be used with Belcher in the
half mile. Cliff may also share the
custodianship of the mile with Dun­can.
"Shorty" Morrow, who was fourth
in the two mile in the Tech relays,
will run that distance Saturday with
Dawsey.
The hurdles will be adequately
taken care of by Baskin and Greene.
Upshaw will essay to fill the shoes
of the departed Lock in the high
jump. The broad jump in another
event that is well fortified with such
persons as Greene and Snider to de­fend
the cause.
Baskin will handle the javelin,
discus and shot. Others who will be
on hand are Creel and Meadows in
the pole vault, Lovelace in the shot
put, and Stinnett with the discus.
Kappa Deltas Lose to Non-Sororities
The Kappa Deltas were eliminated
from further competition, Thursday
night, when they lost a hotly contest­ed
battle to the Non-Sorority girls,
7 to 5. Mardre, Harris, and Floyd
turned in the best performance for
the losers, while Powell and Creel
did the best work for the victors.

to first getting Wallis and complet­ing
a double play. After that the
Tigers never had a chance.
Angley was the hiting star of the
game bagging three hits out of four
trips to the platter. Moreland play­ed
well around the keystone sack
handling ten chances with one bobble.
The second sacker redeemed himself
a moment later, however with his
lightning stop of Wallis' grounder
which started the Techsters into a
double play that carried with it all
hopes of a Bengal rally.

Tigers Shut Out Howard
By an 8 to 0 Score Wed.
Sheridan and Hughes Let East Eastlakers Down With Only
Three Bingles ..
Bombarding' a duo of Bulldog
moundsman in the first three in­nings,
the Tigers assumed a com­manding
lead, winning their twelfth
game of the season.
The Bengal batters took a liking
to the slants of Brown, who started
the flinging for the East Lake crew.
In, the initial stanza Buck Ellis, Walt
Hitchcock and Akin delivered base
hits, enabling the Tigers to tally
three times.
Another rain of basehits, including
a triple by Ebb James sent in a quar­tet,
in the second, and was sufficient
to send Brown to the showers. Smith
replaced him, and went the remainder
of the route, hulring a pretty game.
The Tigers did not score after
the third inning. With the game
already stowed away, Sheridan was
taken from the hill to start the sixth,
in favor of Lefty Hughes. The big
Bessemer star let the Bulldogs down
with bue two hits during his reign.
Hugh took up the job where Sheridan
had left off, allowing the Howardites
but one lone hit in the four innings
in which he labored.
The only Bulldogs to rap out sale-ties
were Smith, Lowry, anof Dawson.
Only 31 men faced the Tiger slab
artrsts during the contest. Of these,
Billy Bancroft was the only man to
reach the hot corner.
Ellis gave his swatting average
quite a boost during the game by
cracking out four safeties in five
trips to the platter. • Ebb James,
who has been shifted to second place
in the batting order got two out of
four to his credit, including a triple
in the'second inning which drove in
two runs.

ARCHITECTS TO
GET POSITIONS
Every member of this year's se­nior
class of the architectural depart­ment
is already engaged under con­tract
for employment, although com­mencement
is a month off, according
to information received today from
Professor Frederick Child Biggin,
head of the department of architec­ture.
„
Several months ago, it "was stated,
information concerning graduates
was solicited by architectural firms
in various parts .of the state. In
some cases interviews were held with
the students by prospective employ­ers
and as a result every senior will
be ready to step into a position the
day, after he receives his diploma
here.
In connection with tire announce­ment,
Professor Biggin pointed out
that a five year course of study in
lieu -of the present four year course
of study in architecture will be inag-urated
at Auburn next year," all new
students being required to register
in the five year course or as a speci­al
student, with the provision that
students that are already registered
in four years courses will be allowed
to complete their course in the four
year period or change from one to
the other, as they may elect.
The department of architecture at
Auburn is the only department of its
kind in Alabama and is the oldest in
the entire south, having been estab­lished
in 1907. In spite of limited
funds available for buildings and equ­ipment
the work has been developed
and expanded to the point that the
department today is an important
center of professional art training
for the state, according to the state­ments
of architects and others em­ploying
graduates. The development
and extension of this course will re­sult
in supplying to the industrial
concerns of the state those trained
i
workers who have heretofore from
necessity been brought from north­ern
schools.
"Artists, architects, contractors,
material men and all others through­out
our state interested in art train­ing
and good building, are asked to
answer this question. For the past
year two hundred men and women
have received instruction from the
department of architecture atk Au-engineering,
pencil and charcoal sket­ching,
pen and ink rendering, water
color painting, clay modeling, history
of painting and sculpture decorative
design, interior decoration, and land­scape
architecture.
Professor Biggin pointed out that
the common' idea that graduates from
a department of architecture become
craftsmen and practising architects
only is wrong. _ "
"The courses offered provide ex­cellent
foundations for other lines
of business, such as contracting, the
manufacture and handling of build­ing
materials, interior decoration,
landscape design, town planning, and
commercial and other forms of ap­plied
art work. Graduates in archi­tecture
and architectural engineering
are engaged in all these branches of
industry."
The department at Auburn today
comprises 100 students in architec­ture
and architectural engineering
and fifty women enrolled in home
economics, as well as fifty other stud­ents
who are electing architectural
subjects, making a total of 200.

IN connection with a new pumping station at Milwaukee,
Wisconsin, additional feeder mains were required. It was
necessary that one of these should carry an unusually large
proportion of the water supply, and 54-inch pipe was decided
upon. Although pipe of material other than cast iron had a
lower first cost, Cast Iron Pipe was chosen because the possibil­ity
of interruption to service had to be reduced to a minimum.
The photograph above shows a section of pipe being lowered

THAT means "Pipa Amoroso" in the Latin, or
"pipe-lover" in plain campus English. P. A.
has certainly endeared a pipe to more men than
any other letters in the smoke-alphabet. Because
Prince Albert lets a fellow smoke all he wants
to—and makes him want to!
Cool as the stare of a marble Venus. Sweet
as the approach of vacation. Fragrant as spring

You will when you pick P. A. and a jimmy-pipe

great tobacco, and that's not blah.
Get yourself a tidy red tin of Prince Albert
today. Fill the bowl of that old jimmy-pipe to
the brim and borrow a match. Then you're set
for some great smoke-sessions, as sure as you're

PEPPY PROGRAM
The \yilsohian Literary Society
held its regular weekly meeting last
Tuesday night in the Main Building.
Following its usual custom of pre­senting
good live, peppy programs,
the society was entertained by some
of its best talent.
F. O. Cornelius gave a very inter­esting
talk on "Aviation in America."
He brought out the fact that the Uni­ted
States subsidizes aviation in or­der
that pilots may be trained, and
the number of men and machines be
kept in continual state of prepared­ness.
He further stated that many
machines are being used in a com
mercial way, such as dusting cotton,
surveying and making pictures.
"The Alien at Our Door" was
splendidly discussed by S. L. Morrow.
He made a comparison between the
early immigrants and those of today.
In most cases the ones that seek
admission to American today are far
inferior to those who came TO our
shores before the World War. Great
emphasis was put on the fact that
Congress failed to make provisions
for the enforcement of the immingra-tion
law. No provisions are made
for the prevention of the smuggling
of immigrants, and today' there are
one million, three hundred thousand

Rowe Johnson very ably discussed
"The Plight of the Farmer," in which
he brought out that few people real­ize
the importance of the farmer as
a capitalist and a professional man.
In most cases the farmer fails to
realize just returns on his invest­ments.
He further stated that the
farmers need an export organization
backed by the government, with a
well organized body of unity and
cooperation.
G. B. Phillips was given a rising
vote of thanks for his recently being

The question for the intersociety

WIRTS TO START
SOMETHING NEW
The Wirt Literary Society, often
called the oldest and best society,-'on
the campus, held a meeting of much
interest Tuesday night. The try-out
for inter-society - debates was held
and the winners were R. E. Smith
and J. H. Price. These two men are
expected to bring home the loving
cup.
The Wirt, in keeping with its po­licy
of initiating something new, has
arranged to start something that
doubtless will be imitated by some of
the other societies on the campus.
The membership thinks it best to
withhold the announcement of this
unique program until next week. So
be sure to look for our tannounce-raent
in next week's issue of the
Plainsman.
After the discussion of this new
adventure, R. H. Elder made a talk
on military training. The speaker
referred to the recent argument be­tween
those who would do away with
military training in our colleges and
those who would make it absolutely
required. Points on both sides were
brought out, and the argument seem­ed
in favor of those who uphold mil­itary
training.
Don't' forget to look for our an­nouncement
in the next issue of the
Plainsman.
SOPHOMORES
HOLD MEETING
The Sophomore class held a meet­ing
Tuesday morning in the Engin­eering
Auditorium. The president,
T. B. Shotts called the meeting to
order and put before the class the
idea of the advisability of voting in
favor of standardizing the Auburn
ring. Without discussion a motion
was«made and a unanimous vote given
in favor of making the present Senior
ring the standard for the college.
Ballots were passed and votes
taken on nominees to both the Stu­dent
Council and the Honor Commit­tee.
Bill Hurt, Dick Lile, and G.
D. Albrecht were elected to the Stu­dent
Council, and Frank Malone, Paul
Alford, and C. H. Feagin, to the
Honor Committee. For the office of
May Queen, Goat Smith and V. A.
Bates were nominated, to be voted
on in the student body election.
A motion made to change the date
of the Sophomore banquet was car­ried.
It was decided to change the
date from April 17 to Saturday, May
first.
It was announced that nominations
of eight men to the Plainsman staff
would be made in the next meeting
of the class. Of the four men elect­ed,
two will probably become mana­ging
editors and the others will be
assigned to other positions on the
staff.
At the conclusion of business the
clas adjourned.

S. H. Lynne, peerless orator of the
Plains, alone and single-handed, de­feated
the team representing Birm­ingham-
Southern in the second Inter-
Collegiate debate of the semester.
H. W.Head, Lynne's colleague was
called home at the last minute, by a
sudden death in his immediate fam­ily.
Since the opposing team had
already arrived and the speeches of
both teams had been prepared with
great effort, the authorities did not
wish .to cancel the engagement.
Lynne was then assigned the task of
presenting both his own and his col­league's
speech as well as both re­buttals.
This he proceeded to do in
a very effective manner.
Mack Breckenridge was the first
speaker for the affirmative and his
speech was primarily concerned with
the definition of the subject and
suggestion of points which his col­league
would attempt to prove. He
was followed by Lynne who presented
the speech Head had prepared. Leon
Mantel, second speaker for the affir­mative,
set forth his arguments in a
very clear manner, his delivery being
especially good. Lynn, in presenting
his own arguments, was very logical
and his methed of putting across his
ideas to the audience was exception­ally
good. He showed that he is an
accomplished orator, and a leader
in forensic activities on the campus.
Several of the 'faculty members
who attended the debate expressed
the opinion that Lynne's rebuttal
has never been surpassed in clear
thinking and brilliance by any de­bater
on the campus.
Dr. B. B. Ross acted as Chairman
on this occasion and as usual presided
with dignity and poise.
Birmingham-Southern upheld the
affirmative side while Auburn de­bated
the negative side of the ques­tion
: Resolved, That the Federal Gov­ernment
should promote the further
development of our state and local
school systems through the establish­ment
of a department of education
with a Secretary in the President's
Cabinet.
It is understood that the negative
side received a unanimous decision
from the judges.

SOPHOMORES TO
ELECT MEMBERS
FOR 1927 STAFF
The Sophomore Class has been re­quested
to nominate eight men who
have distinguished themselves either
through ability along journalistic
lines or throught their willingness
to work, for positions on the Plains­man
staff for next year. Four of
these men are to be chosen and from
these members of the staff two will
be recommended as nominees for the
Editorship on the following year.
As this is a dictinct innovation on
the campus and one for which a great
need has been felt in the past, the
merits of these men should be most
carefully considered and a most con­scientious
choice made.
The basket ball tournament closed
with a bang last night with the Score
7 to 5 in favor of the Phi Delta
Rhos who played against the non-sorority
girls.
The first game of the tournament
was played by the K.D.s against the
non-sorority girls last Friday night.
The game was hard won but with
a great deal of struggling and tuss­ling
the non-sorority girls came out
on top with the score 9 to 5.
The entire K.D. chapter blossomed
out in bloomers and middies to take
a try at "basket-balling" but against
this array of numbers the non-soror­ity
girls presented a few well chosen
girls who were experienced and
fought hard. The game was exciting
and the onlookers were torn between
conflicting desires as to which team
to yell for because both were good
and excited admiration.
In the game on Monday .night a
larger crowd of spectators greeted
the girls because the- game of Friday
night had spread its fame and the
students seemed determined not to
miss another good game like that
one. The Phi Delta Rhos had on
their team a few experienced fighters
and varsity members and the game
between the two teams seemed to
prove very interesting on account
of the well-matched teams.
The Phi Delta Rros were present­ed
with a silver cup with "Basket­ball
Champions" engraved on it. The
tournament is to be made an annual
affair and we shall watch with inter­est
for next year's winner.
