Monkey Drillers Making Progress The University of Georgia monkey drill team is making good progress this year, according to report from Lieut. L. G. Smith, coach of the squad.

So far only two trips have been arranged for the team, to Augusta and Washington, Georgia, but more may be scheduled later. Some of the men who returned from last year are: John Hodgson, who has been elected captain; M. M. Stevenson, manager; Letton, Parker, Funkhouser, and a number of others.

CRACKER WRITERS PUN POETRY BOOR Publication of a book of poetry written by University of Georgia students is contemplated for this spring by members of the staff of The Georgia Cracker and others in terested, provided that sufficient in terest can be aroused in the matter. The book, which would be in clusive of the best of The Cracker’s poems published during the year and other previously unpublished poems, would contain about 150 pages, ac cording to Thomas F. St. John, Ath ens, editor of The Red and Black and member of The Cracker staff, who is one of the originators of the idea. The financing of the publica tion of such a book would be by means of a subscription system, he states. Professor R. P. Walker of the English department of the Univer sity, and Miss Louise Hollingsworth, University librarian, have offered to help in getting out the prospective book, since they have felt for a long time that Georgia should take its place in this field among the larger colleges publishing some sort of an nual literary work. For a number of years Georgia has been without such a publication, the last of that type being a book called “Campus Verse,” published in 1908, edited by W. C. Henson, then editor of The Georgian, forerunner of The Cracker. Plans for the book call for the in clusion of representative poems by student writers, which will be se lected by board of editors com posed of Miss Hollingsworth, Mr. Walker and others. AG.

POWYS SPEARS ON THREE COUNTRIES “The Character of England, France, and Germany” was the sub ject used by John -Cowper Powys, English author, in addressing a large number of University of Georgia stu dents and faculty members Wednes day morning at the chapel. The speaker assumed a novel view point, pretending that, his audience was a group of Greek and Roman ghosts to whom he, as a modern, was compelled to explain the human civilization of the West. “The great gift of Germany to civilization,” began Mr. Powys, “is cosmic emotion, that quality by which an individual sinks back Into the electric magnetism of the Uni verse.” The vast influence of this quality was pointed out by the speaker as permeating the history of German politics, religion, science, music, and literature. He explained that it is a mistaken idea that efficiency is the greatest German characteristic for it is merely a compensatory, superficial gesture. “The building up of a beautiful, orderly life is France’s gift to civili zation,” continued the author. “The French intellect begins by screwing down the lid on truth and by mak ing an art of life. “Sex is allowed liberty and free dom as nowhere else in the world, in order that it may heighten the art of life. Religion is exploited for its aesthetic results, that is, to make conversation, to furnish material for interesting letters, and for debates. With this art of life can be explain ed all the peculiarities of these peo- (Contlnued on page 8) CleniKon Game and Attendant Festivities are Features of Oc casion.
