THIS MIGHT HELP HOME.
IN this, our University, where there is need of
■ more room, where one hears a good deal about
cramped quarters, there is some valuable space
going to waste.
Could not the two loggius (this is one grand
way of saying piazzas) of the Acudemtc Building
be pat to good use hy converting them into out
side tfvtMy halls? Merely a few benches and
chairs, and the furnishing would be complete.
This would relieve the congested study hall
downstuirs. the cluttercd-up stair-landings, and
even give the women a place where they could
spend time between classes, obviating the necessity
of their going all the way to the library nr Pea
body Halt.
How much more beautiful to spend the extra
delightful minutes of waiting or the vucant class
period out there in the fresh air than in the
stuffy, badly lighted study hall? Half of the
school year the weather would permit one to re
main outdoors, and even during winter months
there are many days mild enough to make the use
of an outdoor study hall practical and delightful.
What a convlenence for those who had a few
minutes to stop, to think, or to ruminate and
smoke tor even chew, if there be chewers! I

LOOK Ol'T, CO-EDS!
I T is no easy task to manage the crowds of spec-
® tators which attend the games in the Audi
torium. and it is especially hard when certain mem
bers of the student body disdain to occupy the sec
tion of the student bleachers reserved for them
and take seats which have been reserved for oth
ers. This alone would not have caused anyone
any embarrassment had these students vacated
these seats when asked to do so by the student
manager in charge but this they refused to do
and this necessitated their forceable ejection.
We can't keep this Ole Georgia Spirit and act
toward the student managers in the above attitude.
The rules which they enforce are those laid down
by the Athletic Association for the guidance of
every student, so for the sake of old Alma Mater
let's ALL abide by these rules and not take ad
vantage of fellow students on account of sex.

AM I BIGHT OR WIPING?
C tONTHIBL’TIONB In the form of editorials have
/ been few and far between, therefore at the
last minute of going to press tlie editor snatches
a typewriter and merrily pounds away at the bus
iness of Ailing up editorial space.
Editorials are so rarely read that it makes little
difference what is put here; so our bare handful
of readers will please pardon if we plunge into sub
jects with ns little preparation as these will, of
necessity, show.
We will now begin our attack on College Activ
ities. Our good friend Fulton in his memorable
College Life, is one of that number of uncanny
thinkers who so whole-heartedly endorse a stu
dent's diving into the various activities that occur
around a place of learning. One of the leading
one of these activities (in our class!Acation) is that
of Bulling. “Bull Sessions" is the proper name to
whicli the title "college associations" is unfortu
nately attached. “You learn lots front your as
sociations at college,” is a soothing little story
that works its way into a student’s head at every
turn. It is hardly true, if the knowledge that could
he learned in the time ttiat is sacriAced to associate
is contrasted.
There Is little doubt that the condensed form
of knowledge as offered In the text book can hardly
be beat. As a matter of fact our books represent
all of the knowledge that has been accumulated
by experience since the world began. Bather a
wasteful process for us to start out on our own
hook to accumulate knowledge for ourselves when
it has taken so long to get up this much. True
there are lots of things that are not taught in
books, but If a man was capable of learning it, and
It was very important, surely it would have been
put down Into exchangeable form long ago.
Knless one Intends to enter "politicking” as a
profession, it is hard to see Just what industry such
a vast knowledge of human nature, as one acquires
from Wis college associations, will heneAt. lit
seems much more likely that a thorough and broad
understanding of some special subject will serve
him better. If a student is to go Into horseshoeing
as a profession he can hardly do better than to
learn as much as posble about the gentle art of
Atting the horse’s foot. When he is at sea and
knows no path that he will take, he can hardly do
better than to get a broad general idea of the
world. Its composition and appearance, and if he
leans toward business, a solid grounding in eco
nomics.
Far be it from us to attempt to recommend any
special subject or to kindly outline the proper
course of study that all college students should pur
sue, but we know that in our own case and In
many other sad cases under observation, college
associations have been indulged in freely, and sub
jects have not. The two are incommensurate, or
some big word like that; and it appears to us that
ALL time spent In associating should be spent in
associating with those birds who can tell you so
much they have to All volumes with it. to get it
out of their systems.
What we have to say concerning hull sessions
we wish to apply to all other forms of college activ
ities save those that are in direct line with the
work that the student is going to take up on com
pletion of his four years intensive training for the
cruel, cruel world. All this rash statement comes
from an immature, inexperienced mind, but we
challenge everything we have ever heard since we
have been in college concerning associations. We
are simply beginning to lose faith In it all.

Lincoln. So was Coolldge.
LAST MINUTE NONSENSE.
Mr. Jim Huwkeye. a former student of Georgia,
who later travelled to South America and occu
pied a very Important position there with the Bird
Fertilizer Company, has been promoted recently
and Is no longer connected with the Arm. Mr.
Hawkeye is now in Mexico and sends us word now
and then of the troublesome conditions that ob
tain in that quarter. Mr. Hawkeye Joined the Y.
M. C. A. and has been in the very thickest of all
the Aghting. going back and forth giving ’’111"
cigarettes to both sides. Very frequently he serves
hot chocolate in the very center of no-man's land
while the shells boom overhead and the screeching
missiles tear through the air giving close shaves
to every one with whom they come in contact.

THE CALL
The mountains beckoned
In spring.
And then in mem-ry’s mind I saw
The bliss my heart was yearning
for—
Where the sun hangs low o’er the
mountainous peak,
Tow'ring above where the moon
shiners sneek—
The mountains beckoned—
I went!
DRIFTING
Young man, whither are you going?
When fancy of spring warms your
heart?
No chill, because the south wind is

Young man, whither are you going?
Tomorrow’s the echo of drums
That beat the march of today and
the start,
And then die out when winter
comes. . . .
Can you drift with the south wind,
knowing?
Young man, whither are you going?
THIS IS SERIOUS!
Saturated with sadness,
The dew-drenched vapors Aow,
Urging my heart to madness
In a memory of long ago.
When my heart wrought a song
long ago
Oh Psyche! the grey dusk is falling.
The October moon’s dying red;
The voice In the dream glade is call
ing.
And it’s called all these years, it is
said,
All these witliering years, It is said. .
The angels in heaven are sighing—
Their covet has since died away;
The seraphs, dear soul, there are cry
ing,
Unhappy and wont to repay—
Regretting and wont to repay. . . .
Frail child in your sepulcher hidden,
Whisper a thought to the wind—
A thought to the dream glade is bid
den,
A thought through the sobbing
wind send—
A thought to a dreary heart
send
THE CRAZY GOOSE.
The goose are a queer bird.
His feet are too far apart to walk
right.
He wabbles
The steering gear ain’t on straight.
The goose has a voice like a soda
fount.
She comes from Africa and
Belongs in our midst.
The water runs off her back like a
duck's.
The masculine of goose is gander.
They are wet animals.
Both love the water.
1 The water loves the goose
And stays under it.
They are good things broiled.
It is used at a poultry plant
As a food.
Their stuffing is good.
She eats heavy things
j Like lead bullets.
There are webs
I All around her feet.
Geese are not dry.
Volstead
Doesn't keep them from being san
itary.
They are found in the water
And in state legislatures.
They hatch less than Vi of 1 per cent
i In the legislatures.
| And their eggs aren't good there.
