VOX POPULI
The Red and Black Is doliiK a
foolhardy and unpopular thing. It
protests against such half-baked,
undone, and asinine attempts of un
dergraduate zeal as the petition now
circulating to obtain two extra hol
idays following Thanksgiving day.
The preamble to the liHt of peti
tioners Ih especially unwise. The
words of It are not only Ill-chosen,
they are, it seems, purposely con
cocted to prevent the faculty from
viewing the petition with any degree
of favor.
The petition states that "a major-
tty of students will attend the game”
all obvious misstatement of the
case—and neglects to mention that
the natural desire to spend the week
end at home is the reason the ma
jority want the holidays.
Such expressions abuse the right
of the student body to make petition
to the authorities.
Thanksgiving day will come and
go as other Thanksgiving days have.
The game in Birmingham Is no ex
ception to other Thanksgiving games.
There have been petitions of this
nature for the past three years.
They have not done one iota of good.
It stands to reason that if the
authorities so desire, they will grant
the holidays, without any expression
from a student body which seems
always to want holidays.
The special train which leaves
Wednesday night for Birmingham
will return early enough for classes
to be met Friday, and certainly early
enough for Saturday’s classes.
Although it will take longer prob
ably to pick up rides on the road to
Birmingham, it does not seem at all
justifiable to suspend the entire
Universly exercises for the handful
who will go by the dusty route.

PAY UP
It is all very well to debate the
question of what benefits a mail re
ceives from his college, and how
college will help him throughout his
life. But the other side of the af
fair. which is so rarely mentioned,
that which inquires as to what he
will give in return, must also re
ceive consideration.
Perhaps we have the idea that
we owe the outer world nothing.
Perhaps we believe it our own edu
cation. to be made use of as we
please. But what about the people
who support the colleges? The pro
letariat. who makes possible the ex
istence of our beloved alma maters,
who supports them and extend their
privileges to us. must also receive
due attention.
We who receive the benefits of
their liberality are expected to re-
urn it. not In dollars and cents, hut
'n those abstract qualities which are
called Leadership. Service. Sacrifice,
and Enthusiasm. We are justified in
receiving an education at the hands
of the tax payers, but we are honor
hound to repay them by using our
ability, education, and vision to
guide the life of the nation.
Never has there been a more op
portune lime for this service. The
continent Is torn with factionalism,
bigotry, narrowness, and Ignorance.
Men of low or warped Ideals are en
deavoring to hold the reins. Parties
and creeds are engaging in bitter
struggle, partly from ignorance and
partly from vindictiveness.
The recent Chicago farce in which
one of America's mighties cities was
made a laughing stock is a vivid ex
ample of this. William Thompson,
politician anil charlatan, was over
whelmingly elected mayor -.as the
result of an appeal to religious and
race prejudices. The fact that he
induced American voters to believe
in the “King (ieorge" absurdity
shows the need for men of honest
principles and intellectual ability
who can direct hem to a higher
mental and moral plane.
Now, more than at any other time
In our history, men of knowledge
and breadth of vision and under
standing are necessary for the main
tenance of the country's proper ex
istence. This element can be found
from no other source than that of
university men who have received
the best raining and opportunity.
In leading the political, business,
religious, and social life around him
'lie college man can pay for his edu
cation with interest, and ran ulti
mately earn the respect and grati
tude of the masses. By pulling the
American people Into u new world of
fairness and toleration, an entirely
new people can he created, one which
will keep the nation at the peak of
• iirld civilization .
Knowing this, the university men
must realize their double responsi
bility: that of advancing themselves
and that of regulating the destiny
of the America of the future.

Press Number of
Cracker Reviewed
(By It. E. Hamilton)
Artistically speaking, the cover and
tlie picture of Norma Talmadge in
Camille are the best features of the
November issue of the Georgia Crack
er The cover of the Georgia Press
number, drawn hy Katherine Stan
ford, is both well-done and appro
priate for the title. Otherwise—
there are more jokes, original and
exchange, good and had, than in the
last issue.
The only claim for wit that '‘Jour
nalism in the New Catalogue" can
present is its grotesque nonsense,
which seems mightily overdone.
"Despair," a four-line alleged poem,
savors of staleness. And lo! another
parody of Kipling's "If," slightly
kalsomined to suit the occasion.
The poetry page with its new head
ing. carrying the words The Crack
er Courts lfis Muse, is much im
proved in appearance. Of the seven
poems. “Pottery,” "Denial," and "Re
membrance” are the pick. On second
thought, perhaps "To Odysseus”
might he added. The new heading
is much .better than the former one.
"De Collich Poiper" is realistic as
well as humorous; the facts did not
have to be exaggerated. On the other
hand, “The Hidden Socks" is a mis
nomer; it should be "The Hidden
Plot.”
"To a Living Bust” and the ac
companying drawing is the second
number of an excellent feature. As
to the art work, the drawings show
improvement over those of last
month, hut there is still room for
improvement Several without jokee
attached, however, are fine.
As more University students are
"Palace-goers,” the page given , to
picture reviews seems worth the
space. The review of "The Way of
All Flesh” is a good synopsis and
commentary on a good picture. As
we have not seen "Camille,” we de
dine to review the review. The
list of future hookings at the Pat
ace ought to lie a help for making
dates several weeks ahead.
Two of what may be called longer
articles are included in the Georgia
Press number, and one person’s opin
ion is as good as another's.
Summing up all the comments, the
Cracker is excellent, good, mediocre,
or poor, depending upon just what
part of it you refer to.
