practically all attend athletic games. In fact it
might be said that a larger number of students
are more interested in a game than in any other
common topic. It might be mentioned that next
In common Interest comes the college publications,
shows, etc. Most articles of value for news stories
hold an appeal to only a limited number. There
fore, it will la- stated that the |a>llcy of this paper
will lx- to furnish the news that is wanted by the
hugest number of renders.
This is the primary purpose of the Ked and
Black, to enable the students to keep up with
college events that deserve attention. We hope
that we will miss nothing that is of interest. To
help us in this, an appeal is again made to all
clubs, societies, fraternities and other organiza
tions to be sure and send in notices of all their
activities, for although it is our purpose to have
a growing organization and to try to cover every
thing that happens, it is not impossible that some
items will escape us.
A BALLADE OF THE WOODLANDS
By I. H. Granath.
COLLEGE DIRECTORY
RECOGNITION.
I N taking in hands the jerking reins of the Red
and Black we are placed in a position where we
can amply appreciate the admirable work done by
our predecessors. The paper for the last term
and a half has been one that reflects wonderful
credit on the former staff, and we are Inclined to
believe thut u large part of this parlse Is due to
Mr. Bill Munday. With conscientious and untiring
effort he has devoted his time and his Journalistic
genius to the editing of a paper of which the Uni
versity can well be proud. Handicapped by the
luck of an ottlce, he was often compelled to fill
all the places of reporter, copy reader, proof read
er, headline writer, composer, and editor. The
quality of his work is a standing tribute to him.
and while such personal effort Is seldom appre
ciated tiy the readers of the paper, in the llles of
the library he has erected a literary monument
that stands out among the many Journalistic works
of the University.
Bill succeeded in making his paper not only in
teresting. but even artistic, his perfectly iNilanced
shoots attracted the eye and made one glow with
pride for the college paper. Bill Boomed to huve
an aerial in the air thut secured every piece of
news ulioat, and while he could not have succeeded
without the co-operation of his callable staff, still
he himself is to he congratulated on its organiza
tion and etllclency.
Spending an average of four to five actual hours
a day on the paper, Bill worked hard and earnestly
and received no reward save “honor."
We confess that though we dive in with deter
mination. we entertain doubts and misgivings thut
we will be able to come up to the pace that has
been set before us.
SOME FACTS ABOUT YOUR l*AI*ER.
riMIE Red and Black publishes 2.000 copies each
1 week. Of these 1,600 go to students of the Uni
versity. The remainder are divided among the
advertisers, exchanges, and copies sent out to the
high schools in the state. Practically every accred
ited high school in Georgia receives a Red and
Black for its library.
The 1,600 student readers of the Red and Black
occur in the following proportions: Liberal Arts.
300; 8cience, 470; Agriculture, 650; Pharmacy,
21; and Law, 140. Rehabilitation students num
ber approximately 400 in all. About 375 belong
to fraternities. Five hundred and thirty of all
students are taking some form of military
training Of all these it Is well to note that
WOODROW WILSON.
\ LL University students deeply mourn the
death of our recent Ex-President. Wood-
row Wilson, loved perhaps more deeply in
the south than in any other section, lived a
life that gave an example to the citizens of
the world. If nothing else had been ac
complished during his life time, enough
would have been the exemplary career he
pursued, one of idealism. Idealism is only
impractical because it does not take into
account the low aims of the rest of the mem
bers of the race. Had the other leaders dur
ing the strenuous post-war times cared less
for their own selfish interests and more for
the welfare of humanity, then Wilson would
have been a PRACTICAL success. Give us
more idealists, more executives in every walk
of life, who submerge the claims of present
superficialities for the deep vitalness of fun
damental moral principles, and we will have
a nation whose progress will be based upon
a sound and indestructable foundation. With
more like him, the end will soon come to
petty useless strife and the despicable selfish
ness that opens our structures to inevitable
decay.

1 -tEW students think about how one looks who
has gorged himself with so much liquor that
he has lost all control of his faculties at u public
gathering. The conclusion that a stranger draws
is that the rules of the University are not enforced
and thut the general tone of the student body is
one of complete disregard for the conventionalities
of life.
Of course It is quite impossible for the author
ities to escort every inebriate to Ills room and put
him to bed. so the disposal of the problem is left
up to the student body. In the case of a very
young person, the desire to Imbibe the fiery fluid
is easily explainable. He thinks that to be spoken
of as "dissipated'’ or “wild” Is quite the thing for
i young man. and it Is usually the height of his
ambition to let his plighted love see him in that
most deplorable condition known as "soused."
Surely no man in college has reached that state
where his brain must be tired and his finer sensi
bilities dulled with liquor for him to really enjoy
an evening.
It seems to us that the best course for the stu
dent body to pursue in regard to this matter is for
the older men to use the very powerful method of
example, to influence the younger generation. If
a man must periodically get drunk, let him select
some day when he is at leisure and go to the other
.side of the woods past Watkinsville and drink to
his heart's content, being sure to forget the way
back to Athens until he sobers up. if the upper
classmen do not indulge in such ribald forms of
pleasure, it is almost certain that the Freshmen
and Sophomores would not, for to appear in pub
lic in a drunken condition would be frowned on
quite as severely as is the breaking of any of
the most time-honored conventions.
The transition from childhood to man's estate
never calls for a wholesale breaking of the laws
of the nation and surely in time the body itself
will rebel if its own laws are so consistently dis
regarded. But not only does the body of the
drinker suffer and the reputation of the Univer
sity. The man who habitually dissipates soon gets
to the stage where it is practically impossible for
him to refuse anything that will give him even
the most fleeting sense of pleasure.
—By M. D. Sanders.
In the mountains Weary Will
Ran a private, home-made still,
Filling barrels with his wicked .
brew.
And at intervals he'd fill
His mountain carcass to the gill
With likker as all nice moon
shiners do.
Once while he was fully stewed,
In Adam's clothes—completely nude,
He gaily danced upon a moonlit
hill,
And some passers passing by
Saw him as he danced on high,
And said, "Aha, dryad—what a
thrill!”
OF DAY COURAGE.
Fletcher McCord.
1 will rise, shed silence deep.
In morning’s hum.
I will lose my night born terrors,
Day has come!
I will sing with yonder cardinal
In the tree,
Shake the night rains from my
shoulders
Just as he.
I will take his coat of courage.
Red as flame;
Hiding with it all my terrors,
Even shame!
TREASURES.
There are silver leaves in the pop
lar tree
Made by the wind and the sun for
me.
There are treasures of virgin gold
to be found
Where flower heads show, new raised
from the ground.
And the night as she fled in haste
from the dawn
Has scattered her diamonds all over
the lawn.
O today I will scorn all wealth save
these
Of sun and wind and flowers and
trees!
OF LIVING ENOUGH IN A l».AY.
Flctclier McCord.
1 have lived enough for a day, to-
day-
As I gazed on a lily my eyes took
note
Of the live, blood-jewel at the
humming-bird's throat.
And so I have lived enough, I say—
And I would not grieve if it passed
away.
1 have lived enough for a day, to
day—
For my heart held yonder glowing
cloud
(Beauty. I know, seldom speaks
so loud)
1 held it—and so. though I would
not be gay.
Yet 1 would not grieve if it passed
away.
I have lived enough for a day to
day,
For these things came as I held
your hand
And that's how I came to under
stand,
I have lived enough for any day
And I will not grieve when it pass
away.
:
COMPANIONSHIP.
A swallow almost out of sight,
A speck against the blue—
With seeing that he had no fear
My heart to wonder grew
Until I saw what set all right:
There was not one. but two!
