GEORGIA BULLDOGS
MEET TIME IN
ATHENS SATURDAY
The first conference game of the
season will be played Saturday at
3:15, when the Tulane Greenles go
up against the Georgia team. The
Bulldogs will present a crippled
team to face the onslaught of the
boys from the land of the Bayous.
Boland is definitely out of the line
up and a blow received on his ankle
during scrimmage will probaby keep
McCrary out of the game. Haley’s
condition is still bad and it is doubt
ful whether he iwill see service
against the Greenies.
Tulane presents a serious obstacle
to the Conference aspirations of the
Bed and Black. With a team that is
rated by experts as the best since

University to Be
Represented at
County Fair
Various University activities will
be represented at the coming fair
of the Clarke County Agricultural
and Industrial Association, Novem
ber 13 through 17. The monkey-
drill team will appear daily at the
fair, which is to be on the Atlanta
road.
The Agricultural College will have
on exhibit many displays, showing
nearly all phases of Its work. It
is possible that the University band
may also be added to the program.
The Greater Sheesley Shows, the
largest collective shows to be in the
South this year, will furnish the
amusements.
There are more than 500 perform
ers and animals in the Sheesley
Shows, and a train of 35 cars is
necessary to move the performers,
animals and equipment.

Motordrome. House of Mystery,
Snake Show, Deep Sea Diving Girl,
Wild Animal Show, Freaks of Na
ture. Giant Show, and others.
With the wild animal show is
Big Jim, one of the few real goril
las in captivity, and the big fellow-
will be on display in a specially
built cage during the stay here. The
giant simian was acquired at the
Canadian National Exhibition, in
Toronto, and is one of the new at
tractions of the company. He
weighs 300 pounds, and the reach of
his arms is ten feet.
liUs-sler Coming
Jean A. Lussier, the Canadian
Frenchman, who went over Niagara
Falls in a rubber ball of his own
manufacture, July 4. 1928, is also

his big ball on the midway and lec

Shows, some of them as follows:
The Whip, Merry-go-Round, Aero
plane Swings. Caterpillar, Electric
See-Saw, Ferris Wheel, and Ocean
Wave.
New Class Ring
Picked by Seniors
A standard senior class ring has
been secured for the students of the
ITniversity of Georgia for the next
four years as a result of an accept
ance by both men and women stu
dents of the ring design presented
by the Elliot engraving company.
Tile chosen ring was passed upon by
a committee selected for this pur
pose, and was later given the stamp
of approval by popular vote of the
four classes and the women stu
dents.
The rinjc selected is a regular
heavy set college ring which will
sell for *20. To the individual is
offered a choice of seven stones upon
which may be engraved any fratern
ity seal, Greek letters, or other de
sired desjgn. There will be the tra
ditional Bulldog on each side to be
matched on one side with the Geor
gia seal and on the other by the
University Chapel.
A special minature of the same
design will be made for women stu
dents.
This new ring was chosen us a re
sult of the desire of the student body
to adopt a standard ring instead of
having several rings as has been
the case in the past few years.
Ten Selected
By Blackfriars
Ten students were elected mem
bers of the Blackfriars at their last
meeting in Phi Kappa hall.
The new members are: Tom
Lewis, Concord: Frank Phinizy.
Augusta; John Eyler, Savannah;
Clms. Davis, Americus; Jack Harber,
Americus; Pierce Hughes, Newnan;
George Armstrong, Athens; Edward
Martin, Moultrie; Darwin Rowe, and
C. E. Dormany.
An unusually large number of ap
plicants tried out and competition
was keen.
Plans were discussed for u play
to be presented before Christmas,
and a committee was appointed to
select the play to be given. A road
trip is being planned Tor some time
this year.
Co-eds Consider
Student Vonor
The Women’s Student council of
the University Is considering the
advisability of installing the honor
system as one of its rules and regu
lations.
Miss longhorn Howard, Augusta,
new president of Student Govern
ment in a brief talk to the women
of the University at Chapel Wednes
day morning, stated the desire of
the council to co-operate with the
student body in the revising and im
provement of its government, and
placed the matter of honor before
the house for discussion.
The general trend of public
opinion seems to be in favor of the
abolition of cheating and dishonor
individually, that is the single sys
tem as presented by Miss Eleanor
Morgan, representative of Agnes
Scott, last week, but the system of
reporting others was disapproved.
AUGUSTE DESCLOS
WILL LECTURE TO
STUDENTS MONDAY ] University of Georgia Glee club In
Stunt Night at
Chapel Thursday
Stum night will be held by the
Auguste V. Desclos, University of
Paris, will address the student body
on "Univertslty Life in Paris, In the
Past and Present,” Monday morning
at eleven o’clock. The assembly day
schedule will be in effect and stu
dents are urged to attend the lec
ture to be held in the chapel.
Due to the seating capacity of the
chapel, all of the student body can
not be accommodated so all who wish
to attend should be on time, says
Professor R. P. Walker, of the Bar-
row Foundation committee. Late
arrivals have proved a disturbing
element in the past, added Mr. Walk
er. in urging promptness in students.
Mr. Desclos will be the first Bar-
row lecturer to address the entire
student body this year.
Editor Attacks
Fraternities in
Alumni Record
Alt editorial containing sugges
tions to "mitigate damage fraterni
ties are doing to education, which is
by no means small,” occupies the
first position in the October number
of ilic Alumni Record of the Unlver-
the chapel Thursday night, Novem
ber 7 at eight o'clock, it was an
nounced by Glee club officials. Any
student who has any kind of song
or dance skit is eligible to compete
for the prize of $10.00, given by
the Glee club.
The object of the stunt night is to
select material for the Glee club.
Rehearsals for stunts will be held
in the chapel next Thursday night.
! Prince H. Preston, Jr., Statesboroj
who is In charge of the stunt night,
urges that all students with acting
ability try out for the Glee club at
1 that time.
This is a change from former years
when the skits were presented with
out preliminary try-outs and without
the prize Inducement. It is hoped by
the Glee club officials that the prize
try-outs will inspire better stunts
and afford better material from
which the skits and numbers for the
Glee club tour tills spring can be
selected.
Girls Glee Club
Organized Here
slty of Georgia of which Thomas S.
'Jray is editor.
"As now organized and operated
fruternitiex are worthless and are
Inconsistent with the alms of edu-
tion." the editor maintains. "Col
lege presidents say little about the
situation because they do not want
to start trouble, nnd faculty mem
bers overlook it for the sake of
popularity.”
"Fraternities Detrimental"
"The damage (of fraternities) is
done in a number of ways,” the ed
itorial asserts. "Their fine-spun no
tions of etiquette and culture stand
ardize more college men per year
than could a hundred schools of Ford
philosophy. Their false standards
of value, based upon small town
society’ theories, permit them> to
reject innumerable worthy students
anil accept a considerable number of
rogues. This gives rise to inferior
ity complexes that In some cases are
| sufficient to drive students away
j from college, to say nothing of the |
very undemocratic breach it causes |
In the student body,” the editorial
declares.
