It ia plain that the rule which is agreed upon should not have force until next term, at which time neither side can foresee what ita in terest will be. Such will be a fair and impartial course to all con cerned. We make the suggestion then that a mass meeting of the students of the University be called at an : early date to take action on the point of what shall be the qualifica tions of a voter in the class elections. If this matter recommends itself to the judgment of the students, as lit doubtless will, a call for such a meeting as described, stating time and place, will be published in the next isstieof this paper. kiiito as: W.

If the continual disputes which have marked every election of class officers held in the University during the past two years are not done away with entirely next term, it will lie the fault of the students themselves for failing to pursue a plan which was suggested the other day by a friend of the paper. This plan is such a simple, practical and effective one that a bare mention of it is sufficient recommendation. Every squabble in class elections lias been tiio direct result of the fact that there is no adopted rule by which to determine the class to w hieli an elective student belongs. It is the prevailing rule at present that an elective student belongs to the class with which he has the greatest number of recitatii but this rule never having received the formal sanction of the student liody it is frcqacntly denied and disre garded hy those who find it their interest to do so. Hence it must be obvious that in order to obviate the difficulties which arise from this cause, the students of the University must as semble and formulate in mass meel- ing a rule by which the important question of the class to which an elective student belongs will be completely and forever settled. It must be understood at the same time that the law which is adopted in this mass meeting is not to go into operation until the coming term in September, otherwise this meeting will witness the efforts of the opposing sides to establish a rule for their own benefit, and not line that will have for its only ob ject to simplify the questions that have hitherto made class elections so unsatisfactory. Base ball in the North has been the only theme of thought so to} speak, ever since the Yale-l'rinceton i foot-ball contest last fall. It is a fact worthy of note that these great colleges (which are no greater than ours only in numbers and college spirit) commence calculating on the next season’s athletic contests, as soon as one of defeat or even vic tory has closed, and in accord with this desire for victory they immedi ately repair to their training quar ters for the requisite skill to carry off the laurels in the battles to : come. While the candidates for the teams of these colleges are trudging through the snow and ice on their hare and hound races to pul them selves in proper condition for prac tice, our men are lagging about on the streets smoking cigarettes, with apparently no intention of going into training at all. Now tins spirit cannot build up college athletics in the South. Here we have every advantage over the North in field sports. Our climate is most perfectly adapted to the training for these contests, and we should have energy and ambition enough to cope with them in this manly strife. Students of the Uni versity of Georgia, throw off your lazy caps and pul forth your enthu siasm, and aid iu every possible way in the demand for a first class base ball nine. Our prospects for a bat. lory arc not ho ^ood, but have we tried iu vain to secure one? No, 1 11 answer the question and state posi tively that no action has been taken. Now isu t tins a deplorable state of affairs when we come to consider that the first of February is upon us with the most perfect weather and no step taken? lit is proposed local! a mass meeting of the college next Tuesday morning to discuss this sub ject and probably take action on the management and the proper course to pursue during the season to make ; it one of success.- Lt everv feiiow who has a word to say 011 this sub ject come prepared to express his thoughts concisely and to the ad vantage of the l uiversitv ami above all thiugs let them be free from all partisan feeling. ANNALS OF TIIK GLEE CLUB. (Selecting the Club.) 1. Left aiogne, First we asked a young man from Cologne If he could sing “Birdie, iny Ogne;” He unbuttoned his vent And sung with a zest, When every one fled with a grogne. 2. I wonder Whioux? Then a buck from the Alagah Sioux Volunteered to sing all that he knioux; At his “After the Hall" The police made a call, So lie swiftly and lightly withdrioux. 3. A Kefruesne. Our third was a youth from Dttqucsnc, Who could shriek like an F. F.V. treusne So we said: “Here, you cub. You must sing on the club,” And he did it aguesne and aguesne. 4. Exactly seaux. The last was a dude from Bordeaux Whose lays bubbled over with weaux; At his “Garden of Sleep” E’en the Freshmen would weep, So we kindly but firmly said : “Neaux.” ATHENS HARDWARE CO. — DEALERS IN — Guns, Pistols.
