Association Meeting
ATHLETIC ASSOCIATION TO MEET
TO RATIFY AMENDMENTS.
A meeting of tin* Athletic As
sociation has been called for this
morning, in chapel, at 9:10, to
vote on the amendments ottered
|>y Athletic Council, and to make
nominations for various athletic
offices that are now vacant.
These offices are president, vice-
president, secretary and treas
urer of the Athletic Association,
manager of 00 football team and
managerof second eleven. Nom
inations for manager of '00 base
ball team and for managerof '00
track team have already been
made. These nominations will
go to the Advisory Committee
for election.
The constitution directs that
nominations shall be made in
open session of the Athletic As
sociation, and all names receiv
ing as many as twenty-live
vouchers bv members of the As
sociation shall be considered as
eligible for election by Advisory
Committee.
The nominations made at the
last Association meeting , were
the first trial of the present
method, and owing to some mis
understanding of the intended
workings of the plan, the result
w as not at all satisfactory. Nom
inations were made by indi
viduals and a rising vote taken
on each name separately. It
was found that not a single name
proposed failed to receive the
necessary number of vouchers.
This morning it is intended
that all Association members be
furnished with slips of paper, on
which they shell write out the
names of all those whom they
mnv think qualified to till the
offices in question. These bal
lots will be tabulated, and all
names receiving the vote of
twenty-live members will be sent
to the Advisory committee, and
a selection will be made from
the names so submitted. It is
thought that the plan w ill prove
highly satisfactory when man
aged in this manner, and that
the best men will lie nominated
for the places.

1900 Pandora.
WILL IT BE ISSUED?
This is tin* question that is
being asked the Hoard of E liiors
every day. Yes, it will be is
sued, provided the students de
sires it, and its publication rests
with them alone. The Pandora
has suffered greatly in the past
from lack of support on the part
of the student-hody.
In iegard to the previous is
sues of the annual, it is well
know'll that the Pandora is sec
ond to no publication of any col-i
lege in the South, and why it
should fail to receive the hearty
support of every student in the
University cannot be under-
sto< >d.
The last issue of the Pandora
is a handsome, expensive and
excellent one. There were pub
lished dot! copies, one-half of
which, we regret to say, are in
the Express office. Why have
they not been disposed of? It
cannot possibly lx* the fault of
the former management, but of
the student-hody. If the stu
dents had fulfilled their promises
to the Pandora, these copies
would not be unsold and the
management would not lit* in
debt.
The amount of the indebted
ness at present is $420.92. Ac
cording to the ruling of the
Faculty, one-half of this amount
must he raised before we can
make a contract for the publica
tion of another volume.
Now, as to raising this amount.
The Pandora has good accounts
to tin* amount of #100.00. If
the students will purchase the
copies of the Pandora on hand,
we can easily raise tin* remain
ing #110.00. So, if the old stu
dents will fulfil their promises
and the new students come to
the support of the management,
another volume will he issued in
June, lotto.
Very respectfully,
Frank E. Broadnax,
Business Man’g’r 1000 Pandora.
The Thalians.

Some time in March, it is in
tended that the Thalians take a

ledgeville and Macon, giving
performances at each place for
the benefit of the Athletic As
sociation. It has been under
stood, on good authority, that
the Faculty will grant their per
mission for the trip to he taken,
when application is made to
them. It is earnestly to he
hoped that the matter can he
successfully arranged; for by
this mentis a goodly sum should
be raised to pay on the Athletic
Association debt.
This year the usual minstrel
part of the Tlmlian performance
will he abolished, and the Club
will present a play to its audi
ences.
