t II K RED A N I) BLACK Page Y.M.C.A/Eggs On’ Easter With Hunt For Students (By Rene Stnart) A mammoth Eapter-egg hunt (or students of the University, sponsored by the Y. M. C. A., in connectipn with the poultry division of the State Col lege of Agriculture, (of which Dr. A. M. Soule is president), will be given nfcxt Wednesday afternoon at four o'clock. The scene of the hunt will be along the banks of the Oconee near the rifle range. Three barrels of hard-boiled eggs, hand-painted, and 150 cartons of candy eggs, with various other ac cessories will be used to stage the hunt. Four trucks will gather the students from the dormitories and chapter houses and transport them to the scene, association authorities stated. Prize to High-Finder A prize award to the high-egg- finder of five gallons of ice cream will be given by Mehre’s in connec tion with the new ice cream com pany of Bailey and Hopkins, which commences operations this week. Leading Athens merchants will con tribute other prizes which will be announced later. Fraternities are especially asked to urge their freshmen to attend. Faculty members will receive indi vidual invitations this week. It is probable that the Georgia State Teachers’ College will attend in a body, as will the Lucy Cobb insti tute. Co-eds at the various dormi tories and sororities have already ex pressed their willingness to attend. Y. M. C. A. officials stated that in sponsoring such an affair they “feel that they are fulfilling their high purposes—to show the students that tljey are regular fellows.” Hens Students are asked to cooperate with the poultry division to the ex tent of leaving no shells or rubbish on the rifle range. Hens entered in the National Egg- Laying contest have been expending their best efforts for the past two weeks to further this “Y” project. Program For Wednesday—Mammoth Easter Egg Hunt 3:00 p. m.—R.

I’ve spent the day making mistakes and more mistakes, and all because my nerves were shot to pieces by the awful vision I had. After eating a big supper of lob ster salad and cucumbers, I dropped off to sleep, but dreamed I was a student at the University of Min nesota. I got along all right with the people up there, with the excep tion of one man, who taught science. Southwick, I believe his name was. He thought his subject was the most important one at the University, and made assignments accordingly; he never made me realize its value, be cause he never told what it was about. I remember a few vague Incoher ences, which sounded like associa tion, pseudo-hallucination, and pa ranoia, but a connetion between them was never established with me or with the other students in the dream class. Laboratory Hour Worst Feature The worst thing about him was his laboratory hour, which he dearly loved, but which he made a torture- chamber of misery for his students. He made us add figures, divide fig ures. average figures and muddle fig ures. for hours at a time, and called it experimenting. I dared on one occasion to ask him what the value in so much arithmetical effort might be, but in a voice of thunder, and with lightning flashing from his hand some eyes, he replied that a mere student wasn’t supposed to know. About this time the lobster salad became more unruly. I dreamed that he was giving a test in his subject, but whoever heard of such a test outside of dreams? His ques tions were like a road which stops off in midair, and either leaves you stranded or throws you off into space entirely. The other dream students dreaded them, with the ex ception of one or two whom he said something about in connection with the strange formula IQ253. Students Afraid to Rebel The majority of the dream stu dents were wishing they could get out of the agonizing situation in which they found themselves, and yearned for the day when they might be free 1 |< J M Stuart Sees Possibilities For Improved Gle& JClub Chocolate Milks And Coca Colas Favorite Drinks (By Ned Hagey) "Dopes” and chocolate milks, ac cording to the lending dispensary of Athens, are the favorite thirst sat- isflers of the Georgia student body. "Plain dope,” dope orange, dope cherry, dope lime, and chocolate milks, notwithstanding the sodas, sandwiches, and ice cream sold, man age to keep five "soda jerkers” busy throughout the day. It is estimated that approximately 500 Coca-Colas, and 300 chocolate milks are sold dally at one fountain.

When one considers that there are approximately twelve soda fountains in the city of Athens that are fre quented by the students of the in stitutions in the city, one may con ceive of the colossal number of soft drinks that are sold daily. These figures are the approximate sales per day for the two drinks dur ing the fall and winter months, and according to the dispenser interview ed, the sales increase almost doubly during the late spring and summer. from weird formulae, strange tests, and stranger marks, but they dared not speak, for fear of being consign ed to the outer darkness below the 6Uth parallel.

The string quartet, including the mouth organ, Is a revival of an old form of music, and despite its an tiquity, it makes one of the biggest hits of the performance. Skit Worst Feature The skit is undoubtedly the worst the club has produced in years, and though none of them has ever been particularly good, the main trouble with this one is that it is not only a pointless theme, but also poorly car ried out. It may bear possibilities, but if the program ever has to be shortened this time-filling number might well be omitted. The Bulldog orchestra was well received as probably the best nunt- er on the first half of the program. The “High Court of the Red and Black" is well portrayed and is the best half of the performance.
