Pewter Jug Missing;
Matron Asks Return
There are now two objects of
value, with a great amount of senti
ment attached, missing. Last week
a prized dictionary was removed from
the office of the dean.
This week a pewter jug was re
moved from the room of Mrs. Cora
Garwood, matron of the Lucy Cobb
dormitory. There was a groat
amount of sentiment attached to the
1ug and Mrs. Garwood says that if
the Jug will be replaced there will
be no questions asked.
‘‘It may have been a prank,” Mrs.
Garwood said, “but I hope that the
person will realize its worth and re
turn It immediately."

Final examinations tor all stu
dents for the winter quarter will be
gin Wednesday, March 18, and con
tinue through the morning of the
following Saturday, Dean L. L. Hen-
dren said Thursday. Students may
start paying their fees for the third
quarter on the first day of examina
tions and will be allowed until Mon
day, March 20, at 6 p. m. to make
payments without the regular late
registration assessments which will
be in effect after that time.
Students who have completed
registration for the spring quarter
by Saturday, March 18, will have a
holiday the follow’ng Monday, for
fees may be paid in Registrar t. w. Bodies to Suggest Officers for
Reed’s office beginning Wednesday,
March 15. There will be no spring
holidays this year.
l’re-Registration Extended
Pre-registration for all students
was held Wednesday, Thursday, and
Friday of this week. Those who fail
ed to check their programs during
this period may make whatever
changes are necessary Tuesday
afternoon, March 7, at the office of
the dean in the Academic building.
A fee of $1 will be charged for all
changes made at this time since all
changes were to have been com
pleted during the past three days,
the dean said.
Should acceptable excuses be pre
sented, the above fine will be lifted.
In general, however, the charge will
be collected.
After the completion of the exam
inations week after next, the spring
period will be officially opened Tues
day morning, March 21, by which
time all matters must be arranged.
Classes will begin on regular sche
dule on that day and there will be
extra charges for entering the Uni
versity after the morning of March
21.
There has been much discussion
about the campus. The Red and
Black has been Informed, concern
ing the giving of spring holidays in
accordance with a custom which has
been followed by the University of
ficials during the past several years.
Certain groups have sought to have
a vacation granted despite plans to
eliminate them.
No Spring Holidays
No spring holidays are to be given
this year, according to Dean Hen-
dren, because of the fact that the
final quarter has been muved up by
a considerable number of days leav
ing only ten weeks of actual recita
tion. June 5 has been designated as
Commencement day, therefore the
last period of classes will last only
from March 21 to this date.
It is not the plan of the adminis
trative officials to make a change in
these dates. It is definite then that
there will be no days off between
the close of the second quarter and
the beginning of the third unless

Racing against time—30 min

cled the “loop” on skates last Mon
day night and won a bet.
The skating craze that has taken
the University prompted Ham Na
pier, Spencer Waddell, and others to
try their hands, rather feet, at this
scientific sport. After several hours
of very unfruitful efforts, they came
to the conclusion that they could
not master the sport and that, con
sequently, none of their comrades
could either.
At this point Lokey arrived on
the scene, and began laughing at
their efiorts. This succeeded In ex
citing these laboring young men to

they offered to bet Lokey $5 that

Made?hy Committee
A plan for honoring the student
who makes the greatest contribution
to the University during the year
was approved and passed by a special
committee of the "X” club, Univer
sity service organization, Thursday.
According to the plan, which will
be worked out in detail and submit
ted to President S. V. Sauford in the
near future, the name of the student
>vho has accomplished the most for
the University during each year,
whether that student be male or fe
male, freshman, sophomore. Junior,
or senior, will be inscribed on a tab
let and hung in some prominent place
_>n the campus.
Details of the method of election
to this honor have not yet been com
pleted.
The “X" club committee which
drew up the plan was composed of
Morgan Goodhart, Adairsvllle, chair
man; Marion Gaston, Toccoa; Tom
David, Danielsville, and Buster Wil
liams, Byron.
The committee also submitted a
roposal to Dr. Sanford, which was
approved by the president, for mak
ing a memorial of the old chapel
bell which tolled out tidings of foot
ball victories and summoned students
to classes for years before it was
cracked doing duty in celebration
of a University triumph and was re
