The meeting of Athens citizens to

portant ever held by the citizens of
this city.
The meeting has been called by the
Chamber of Commerce and fully 200
are epected to be on hand. The
dinner will be served at 7 o’clock
and will cost 75 cents per plate.

Levy's Toggery and Boys' Shop
Dr. Woofter, who came to the
University over twenty years ago
when the «eg jet nation was Ismail,
states that a modification of Plan
No. 1 has been tried by the faculty,
but it failed; partly due to the lack
of co-operation of the student body,
and partly due to the opposition of
some members of the faculty. He
states that he is highly in favor of
plan similar to this if the details
can be worked out. The student who
has an occasional test usually neg
lects the other subjects on that day
and consequently the k teachers of
the other classes raise objections.
Then too, very often several teach
ers would give tests on the same day.
Dr. Payne says he is not in favor
of doing away with some form of
tests. He said that exams might be
abolished successfully in technical
schools but as far as Georgia’s form
of teaching goes exams of some
form are necessary.
Charlie Anderson, inter-collegiate
debater and winner of numerous
speaking honors, gives no definite
answer. He says that he is neither
for it nor against it. but is firm in
his belief that examinations come as
a salvation to some students and as
ruination to others. In his opinion,
examinations are justice to some stu
dents while to others they are a gross
injustice.
John McGehee, prominent student
and Gridiron Club member, believes
that something ought to be done by
which good students would be given
more room to broaden out in their
work, rather than being confined to
examinations. He thinks that the
rule should apply to both Juniors
and Seniors. He thinks that some
change ought to be made to give the
high students more latitude in which
to work.
Hervey Cleekley, prominent athlete
! and winner of the Rhodes Scholar
ship from this district, believes that j
I if the rule should apply to Juniors j
and Seniors that it should also apply ]
; to under-classmen who excel in their j
j scholastic work. He would, however, J
advocate stricter grading on daily I
recitations and more frequent minor i
tests. He believes that during ex-1
aminations. those students who have
done meritous work during the term
should be given a holiday as a re
ward well deserved.
Brooke Johnston, leader of the
Glee Club and outstanding Commerce
student, believes that under no con
dition should Freshmen and Sopho
mores be exempted from examina
tions. He is, however, in favor of
the ruly applying to Juniors and Se
niors, for he believes that much time
is wasted by good students being
forced to stand examinations after
a term of laudable work.

after the election.
The Shlek received a delicate bou
quet of dog-fennel and wild onions
as a token of regard from the Co

Cobb most aptly demonstrated their

Co-eds Dangerous
The voters did not seem to be
able to find the "Most Popular Co
ed." but the "Biggest Grouchess"
was rather hotly contested. The
writer declines to disclose the name
of the winner or of the runner-up,
fearing for his life. A death at the
hands of the Amazons would jndeed
be horrible, something he would
rather not be subjected to. The
writer deems it wise also, since the
recent uprising among the co-eds, to
withhold the name of the “Biggest
Bootlickeress," she being of a dan
gerous size and having a number of
friends even larger than she is.
The Pandora Board wishes to
withhold the remainder of the posi
tions until the publication of the
annual, but we feel that we simply
must let the public know that Char

VALENTINE PITY
GIVEN BY CO-EDS
The weaker sex of the Sophomore
class entertained a number of friends
at Soule Hall last Thursday evening
with a Valentine party. One of the
main features of the evenings en
tertainment was a delightful dinner
served at the Y. W. C. A. Cafeteria.
The hostesses were gaily dressed for
the occasion, and practically all of
the charming ones bore, at least, one
flaming heart pierced by the arrow
of Daniel Cupid.

the exception of the one vote got
by the writer.
Withal, this was a most successful
election, there being hot races for
almost every position. A total of
1,04 4 votes were rast. Nobody but
the co-eds pulling for Bill Munday
voted more than once. A goodly
number of them, however, were
ashamed to sign their ballots, when
voting for said personage. Watch
for 'em in the Pandora.
It is said that at the recent Con
ference of State Highway Depart
ment Officials and Engineers held in
Athens, J. L. Stanford, university
student was invited to contribute to
the State Highway Magazine. This:
is said to be an unusual honor, as i
most of the material contributed to |
this magazine is furnished by men |
who are actively studying the high
way work.
Mr. Stanford was a contributor to
The Georgian while taking his engi-[
neering work at the university. He
entered the University for the second
time last July as a student in Jour- \
nalism and is taking the complete
course offered by the Henry W. Gra
dy School of Journalism.
Mr. Stanford was not one of the.
originators of The Southern Drawl.

T HE ivy of tradition is a slender sup-
port. A man or a team or a college

glories of yesterday, is likely to be out
stripped by some young hut sturdy rival.
That is a sermon we have taken home
