(By Bob Sherrod) The Georgia Bulldog basketball team faces the Yellow Jacket five of Georgia Tech for the first time this season when they play at the Tech court in Atlanta Saturday night. The game was scheduled to be played at the Auditorium, but realizing that the teams would there be equally matched, the Tech officials saw fit to move the affair to the small Tech gym where the Tech five has prac ticed all season. Coach Stegeman’s five has shown constant improvement since Christ mas, winning one from Furman and two from Florida in Gainesville. All of these games were played when Lautzenhlser, Anderson, and Free man were ineligible. "Babe" Florence’s forward work has proved scintillating, he scoring 74 points in the first six games. Henry Palmer at guard, after failing to score in the first two games, has run up 55 points in the last four. Drew, Keen, and Martin have been the other three regular members of the team in the first two after-holi day series. All have played con sistently. After the Tech game the Bulldogs go to North Carolina on a short road trip, playing the University in Chapel Hill on the twenty-first and N. C. State In Raleigh the following night. On January 25 the Georgians face the A. A. C. in Atlanta. The second game of the Tech series will be played In Athens on January 28.

' The ground floor and half of the main floor will be given over to the journalism department and furnished with all the equipment that the dally newspaper uses. Linotyping mach ines, stereotyping machines, print ing presses will all be installed, j There will be an editorial room with its typewriters, copy desk, and files of leading newspapers. One room will be the ‘morgue,” or library, as full of reference books as the Journ alism heads can make it. The University of Georgia, when the building is finished will be one of the few schools in the country having a special structure for its journalism school. Columbia uni versity, Ohio state, and Northwestern are other schools with modern jourm alism plants. This step on the part of the University of Georgia, accord ing to officials of the journalism de partment, denotes the important position that the study of Journalism has attained in the south in the last few years. In the commerce part of the build ing, the equipment will be such as to give the student the most business like atmosphere possible. Tables will be used in the place of desks for that purpose. Fifteen Munroe calculating machines have been loaned to the commerce department by the Munroe company in order that they may test them out. It is said that they are to be loaned to the University for one year. This new building will relieve the congestion which has been felt in the Academic building where the (Continued on page 4) "Until recently there have been two popular opinions about South America," the speaker said. "Those who did not think of it as a land of wild Indians and head hunters, thought of it as a land of perpetual revolutions.” Mr. Tomlinson admitted that there were Indians In South America, but added that only Inland wore they to be fouhd, in the Amazon valley or in the fastness of the Andes moun tains. As to head hunters, the speaker quoted General Honda, of Brazil. companion of Theodore Roosevelt on his trip through the Brazilian jungles, and an authority on the subject, who says that he has never encountered a real head hunter or met any one who has. How he tracked down and discov ered the real secret of South Ameri can revolutions was told, with wit and satire, by the speaker. Mr. Tom linson described his Journey to the cofTee fields in northern Brazil, where an active revolution was reported to be in progress. Instead of finding warfare, said the speaker, he found all quiet, the natives working, and the factories busy. On his last day there, Mr. Tomlin son said he found, in a newspaper, (Continued on page 4) Twenty-four University Professors Attend Meetings During Holidays Twenty-four professors and heads of various departments of the Uni versity of Georgia and of the Geor gia State College of Agriculture, to gether with a number of students of the University attended numerous educational meetings during the Christmas holidays.
