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 (Continued from page 7) 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.

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 with the company, and will exhibit his big ball on the midway and lec ture on his experience.

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.
