Carlt Sam H:r---b. Marvin C< v THE ANTHOLOGY Announcement that the man uscript tor the poetry anthol ogy of the University of Geor gia is ready to go to the printer should be given a warm wel come. Plans for the collection have been discussed through out the year and the fact that the editors have the copy ready is encouraging. Contract for the publication of the book will be let this week and the work of putting the manuscript into type will begin immediately. The promise by those in charge of the anthology that the printing and binding will be attractive and of good quality adds to the value of the project. The anthology should have a wide sale among stu dents. faculty and- friends of the University. Funds making possible the publication of the collection were donated in part by the two literary societies. Phi Kappa and Demosthenian, members of which are to be commended for their aid in this and similar undertakings. There will be, however, a deficit to take care of when all expenses are counted. This amount will be defrayed by charging subscribers of the anthology a nominal sum upon the sale of each copy. Even at this purchasers of the publica tion will gqt the book at below cost. This is the first time in a good many years that an effort has been made to collect the writ ings of University of Georgia students. It will be interesting to compare the 19 28 anthology with those published at scatter ed internals heretofore, partic ularly those having the chloro forming effect of sweet Victorian ether. Creative work on the part of Georgia students receives all too little encouragement. Cer tainly there are some faint evi dences of talent among the 16(1.0 students here. We believe the anthology to be of great value in urging to creative ef forts these few students of ability. Better poetry than that to be produced in the anthology can be bought and read, but better poetry written by University of Georgia students can not be bought and read without some encouragement to undergradu ate writers such as the 192S collection should afford. After the publication of this book, the next probably will be better. Those who have interested themselves in this unselfish un dertaking are to be commended for their efforts. The anthol ogy should find a number of sub scribers who will welcome a publication of this kind on the Georgia campus. A NEEDED CHANGE It is conceded generally that in the program of the Univer sity's work there are too many interruptions, but at the same time the opinion is prevalent that Georgia has a longer school year than has almost any other standard college and each year is the last institution in this section of the country to close its regular session. This condition has been evi dent from year to year but is even more noticeable this year. It will be observed that for the 1927-28 session the University opened and students were re quired to come here on Sep tember 14: this session will end with graduation on June 20. Formerly at Christmas there were two weeks of holidays; this year there were ten days. At the end of the third term nine or ten days has been the usual vacation: this year the students were given five days including Sunday. This last change, it was stated by faculty members, came at the demand of the student body. We have been unable to find any such mood prevalent among the students. It must have been a rather loud minor ity report—and stated to pro fessors for the well understood purpose of making certain im pressions. It seems reasonable that with the extraordinary length of the regular session there should be longer periods of recuperation, resuscitation, or whatnot, be tween terms. Or better, in case the holidays are left as they are, why should not the authorities agree to shorten the school year? University of Georgia stu dents are the first to start, the last to stop. Even in the heat of late June the University still will be functioning in its reg ular session. The extended year can not be the result of the few holidays scattered throughout the year—Thanks giving. the Tech-Georgia game. Memorial day, etc. These are not to be discouraged, but it is evident that here the holiday and not the day is observed by the student body. However, if these lew- holi days are thought to exclude the possibility of a shortened school year, we feel that the student body, if it had a voice in the matter, would be willing to forego these few that have been left by the authorities in order to get out on a reasonably early date in the summer.—P.

EXCHANGES -BY- JOHN CANDLER, II With the annual social festivities 1 that accompany a Tech week-end j | just a week off, and "Big” com mencement not far in the distance, the following directions may be of interest to some Georgia students: People will kiss, but not one in a thousand knows how to extract the j maximum of bliss from ruby lips. ; Yet the art is simple. Follow these directions for the best results: First, know the one with whom Georgia Orators Win and Lose to Carolina Teams The University of Georgia's de bating teams broke even in the dual debate held with the University of South Carolina last week. The af firmative team, composed of John S. Candler. Atlanta, and Rufus B. Jen nings. Dawson, debating in Athens, wen a two-to-one decision over Caro lina's team. The negative team. Isaac Hay. Covington, and Joseph M. Oliver. Savannah, debating in C lumbia. S. C., lost their debate held the same night. AST★R^SKS -BY- TH$M$S ST. J#HN BALLADE AT RANDOM Pray tell me. my most awful King, Where are the poets of ancient fame? Where does the Poet of Argive sing. And where the Muse of Academe? Where burns the high Parnassian flame? And where is Cupid with his bow? And where at last the great Pan came? And where do all bad children go’ you are clinching. Don't make a I mistr.h,. although it may be a good one. Don't jump like a cat at a 1 mouse and smack the dainty thing on the ear or the nose. She won't j appreciate it and neither will you. DO >'OT BE IN' A HURRY: The gentleman should be a little taller, although it is not absolutely necessary. He should have a clean face and kindly eyes and a youthful expression. Don’t be anxious to kiss in a crowd: there are plenty of dark corners. DO NOT BE IN A HUR RY: Take the left hand of the female in yout right hand. Throw your left arm over the lady's shoulder, slip it around to her left side and '• below her arm. DO NOT BE IN A hurry: While her left hand is in your right, let there be a faint pressure on that, not like the crip of a vise, but a gentle grasp full of though; and electricity. Her head is slightly on your shoulder. You are heart to heart. Look down into her half- closed eyes: firmly press her to vour heart. DO NOT BE IN A HURRY! Her lips are almost open. Take careful aim. the lips meet, the eyes close, the heart opens, and the soul rides through the tempest. DO NOT BE IN A HURRY: Heaven opens about you. Earth flies from under your feet. You are like a buzzing rocket across the evening sky. Don't be afraid; “no noise, no fuss, no bother, no flutter- ! ing, no squirming” should be your motto. You are t wangling the golden chords of ecstacy. DO NOT BE IN A HURRY!—Texas Ranger. Altogether now—drive, and "ping” go a score of golf balls and “whiz” they come tearing back to a row of enthusiastic co-eds. There is no dan ger of making an exceptionally long I drive gnd losing one's golf ball if ri mark; of women out for physical education golf be true. Why—the answer Is simple. The golfers have them tied to a stake and they come bouncing right back. That is. the ball is fastened to a rubber band and staked down. The golfer can take off with all the force she can muster and the hall does not crash through the dormitory window at the end of the field. (We under stand they practice on a field instead of links.) Rails Return Swiftly This plan might be altogether suc- ! eessful were it not for the playful attitude in which the said golf ball i returns to its mistress. Immediately after teeing off she must prepare for a terrific crack on the shin, or even on the nose, by this little boom erang The farther it goes the faster it comes back and the co-ed needs to jump to the right and left or per haps flee altogether to avoid being wound up in the coils of the rubber band She at least must he agile and a good dodger. The Daily Nebraskan. The subject was, “Resolved: Tha: the democratic party should nomi nate A1 Smith of New York for the presidency.” This question had been debated several times by the Caro lina teams, which have just com pleted a debating tour. The debate marked the last of the forensic activities for the year, and to k the place of the regular tri angle debate scheduled between the Universities of Georgia.

Secrest Wednes day night, on the Hi-Y movement throughout the state. Mr. Montague gave the purpose and general organization of a Hi-Y club, telling of its establishment among the high schools of the state and its rapid spread throughout the nation. According to Mr. Montague, there are now about 50 clubs in Georgia. A Hi-Y club is a Christian association, identical with the Y. M. C. A., in the high school, he stated. Dr. R. E. Park followed up Mr. Montague's address with a short talk in which he expressed his sympathy in such a movement. After the talk, refreshments were served. Mr. O. R. Magill, southern region al secretary of the Y. M. C. A., will be at the University next Thursday and will speak to the Y. M. C. A. cabinet on the annual student con ference at Blue Ridge.
