This mark was somewhat below last year when the fraternity men made 78.7. The Alpha Epsilon Pi’s retained first place with 84.3; Tau Epsilon Pi moved up from third place Iasi year to second position with an aver age of 79.0; Phi Epsilon Pi is rated third with the mark of 78.7, their plac epreviously being eighth.

Students Attend State Volunteer Meet at Macon About twenty University students, including three co-eds, left today for Macon to attend the State convention of the student volunteer movement entertained jointly by Mercer uni versity and Wesleyan college. Be sides the students Rev. C. B. Har bour and Mr. E. L. Secrest will at tend in the Georgia delegation. The leader of the University dele gation is Claude E. Boggs, who is state treasurer of the student volun teer movement. The delegation will go down in automobiles and will arrive before six o clock Friday evening. They will be entertained in the college dormitories and in the homes of Ma con citizens. The conference will last through Sunday afternoon, and the Georgia delegates will return to year is lower than it has been for several years. Anyone who is not registered as a senior and therefore has not re ceived a senior information blank; or. although registered as a senior, has not received a blank, is requested to turn his name in to the staff and one will be mailed to him. If pre ferred. seniors not having informa tion blanks may (ill out a sheet of paper with full name, course, home address, college activities, and motto (not more than 12 words) and send it along with payment for senior space to the Pandora. A number of individual pictures, aside from athletic and group pic tures, remain to be taken by the Pandora photographer. It is there fore probable that the photographer will return to Athens one more time. Lists will be furnished Monday to organizations of members who have not had their pictures made, so that when the photographer returns to Athens they may complete the rep resentation of their group in the year’s record of the student body. Group pictures will be made of the Pan-Hellenic council, the Senate, Cavalier. Glee and Instrumental, and Bittads clubs; of the Engineering so ciety, the Phi Delta Phi legal fra ternity, and other organizations which will have group pictures, at the time the photographer returns to Athens. Ample notice will be given through The Red and Black, through notices at Costa’s and the ”Q” room, and through letters to the different fra ternities, when the photographer re turns, and both photographer and Pandora staff declare positively that there will not be any more pictures made for the Pandora when this visit is over.

Edi torially, Mr. Renfroe has little to say. working on the assumption that edi torially the best thing an editor can do is till the other columns with worthwhile material. One is greatly tempted to agree with the editor. The pages show strikingly few cartoons, but fare very little the worse. In jokes, both exchanges and original, and they are plentiful, there is a taste of humor shown that is pleasing and at the same time not altogether ’‘uninteresting.” In all the issues or the Cracker this year, we have found few better skits than “Now Ain't This So.” “Truth Is Stranger Than Fiction,” and “Trol leys in Brazil;” but at the same time there are others that fall far below “below par.” In a serious vein, “Lynch Insom nia” by the editor and “Moon Kiss” by Nora Fortson are pleasing ex amples of what might appear on the poetry page. No doubt, the readers will be pleased to find that the theatre page is continued, now under the hand of Frank McMullan. Op posite this page appears a charac teristic pose of Miss Greta Garbo, popular film star. Among the book reviews is a scan of a technical book on chemistry by C. ,1. Brockman, of the chemistry department of the Uni versity. It seems a commendable plan to have the covers Tor the following is sues this year done by student talent. The idea of getting students more into publications tends always to arouse student interest, but at the same time the plan is dependent upon this very thing for support. The least thing that can be said for this issue is that it is up to the standards set so far; and for a first issue is more than might be expected. Typographically and in makeup, the magazine shows no changes except on the editorial page where very large type appears, greatly in contrast with the rest of the paper.

The organization is named for the late Andrew J. Cobb, renowned Georgia jurist and one time professor in the law school. The club has a novel system under which each member presides over one meeting. In this way experience in the conduct of meetings will be given to all the members alike. Judge George F. Gober lectured to the club on the principles of parlia mentary law and gave the organiza tion his hearty approval. Particular attention will be paid to the study of parliamentary law by the members. Thq feature of each meeting Is a debate in which four members par ticipate, which is followed by a gen eral discussion. The first debate was, Resolved, Thut capital punishment be abolished in the state of Georgia.” Jake Joel and Lewis Market won the debate on the negative side while the affirmative was taken by M. E. Kil patrick and 8. E. Watts. Mac Barnes presided over the first reg ular meeting. Lester H. Block was selected as permanent secretary and parliamentarian. The members of the society are J. M.
