ule, the registration will only con
sist of payment of fees.
Registration Speeded
"It is hoped that the new location
of the treasurer’s office will facili
tate speedy registration,” declared
Dean Hendren today. Formerly
registration had been a complicated
process with long lines of students
waiting to pay their fees.
"Professors are requested to hold
all examinations in accordance with
the above schedule. Students should
be held to their scheduled sections.
A sub-committee of the schedule
committee ocmposed of Chairman
J. W. Jenkins, Dean L. L. Hendren,

ones authorized to change the time
of any examination,” said the offi

4:30 classes. This applies to the
freshman classes.
Those students that still desire to
change courses on their winter
quarter schedule had best do so be
fore Dec. 17, declared Dean Hen
dren. “I will be much more inclined
to accept reasonable excuses before
Dec. 17 for schedule changes than
I will after Jan. 1,” said Hendren.

University Faculty
Favors Petition for
Five Day Schedule
Georgia Professors Indicate
Approval of Proposed Plan
For Saturday Off-days
Faculty members contacted by the
Junior cabinet this week were heart
ily in favor of the five day school
week for the University as advocated
by the student petition which was
presented to President Sanford last
week.
Prevailing faculty and student
opinion in favor of the proposal is
expected by members of the Junior
cabinet to carry much weight when
the plan is discussed by the special
faculty committee prior to its pre
sentation at the faculty meeting
Monday, Dec. 10.
The special committee to discuss
the merits of the proposed plan will
be chosen from outstanding faculty
members by Dr. Sanford upon his re
turn to Athens today. The findings
of this group will then be discussed
at the faculty meeting Monday.
The Junior cabinet committee com
posed of Preston Stephens, Karl
Thaxton and Bob Herzog will ap
pear before the faculty committee
and present their arguments in fav
or of the plan. Information has
been received by the student com
mittee for this discussion from Em
ory and Ohio State, which are on
the quarter .system and have Satur-
uay off-days.
Faculty members interviewed
Thursday made the following state
ments:
Dr. J. E. Greene, associate pro
fessor of education: “I am heartily
in favor of the plan.”
R. G. Henry, associate professor
of physics: "I should like very much
to see the plan succeed.”
Merritt B. Pound, professor of his
tory: “I believe that the advantages

Victory for Smiths, Baptists, Scotlands
Divulged as Student Directory Appears
Keeping up with the Joneses is a
crip for the Smiths, the Green-ness
has dropped considerably: the hard-
shelled Baptists beat the Methodists;
88 profess to be downright heathens,
and good old Scotland sends 81
Macs.
These and other stratling facts
are gathered from a casual investi
gation of the new student directory,
which made its appearance on the
campus Wednesday.
The Smiths took the Joneses by a |
lop-sided score of 38-17; in fact, the |
Joneses couldn’t rate better than a j
tie for fifth place, with the Williams I
coming in second with 22, the John-j
son clan registering 21, the Davis
contingent 20, and the Browns tying j
the Joneses with 17.
The Baptists for the year number
837, the Methodists 714, and 88 give
no church preference.
The monickers attached to some
of the individual students give a
freakish and misleading meaning.
For instance, of the four Cooks, three
are males; Cain was raised only
once, that being little “Philbert,”
the 15-year senior; only one Born
in the University this year, one Kidd;
only one Holliday, which is in ac
cordance with the administration’s
policy; the Cohens and Kelleys are
all square with one each, and there’s
just one Sage in school, which isn’t I
disputed.
From an alcoholic viewpoint we
have two Brewers, but there's a
Burpee and three Brays.
And speaking of Methodists and
Baptists there’s two Lords.
And in a roundabout way the Uni
versity is infested with one Coward,
four Cranes, two Crabbs, one Dom-
ineck (yes, its a co-ed), four Kings,
no Queens, only two Manns, two
Paynes, one Piper, one Smile, 11
Halls, one Mundy, and another Frank i
Lee.
Anyone mechanically minded could
rig up a T-mode! with four Horns,
two Hoods, one Geer, two complete
Fords, an Austin, a Landau, and a
Nash. What, no Gas and Oil?
B. Still and a Hart will lend the
musical note on the Harp. I. B. j
Small and Mr. Long are the Little j
and the big of it.

By Claude Green

V. Sanford in Demosthenian hall

trait will later be hung in the hall.

this week informing him of the so
ciety’s intentions. A copy of the reso
lutions follows:
Whereas, we, the Demosthenian
Literary society, do hold that when
the history of The University of
Georgia is written, President Stead
man Vincent Sanford’s name will
occupy one of the most prominent
places, and
Whereas, we believe that Presi
dent Sanford is constantly striving
to enlarge the scope and usefulness
of The University of Georgia and is
rendering a patriotic service to the
state, and
Whereas, we hold that his admin
istration has been one of constructive
service to the cause of the advance
ment of scholarship and learning,
and
Whereas, President Sanford has
manifested an active interest in the
work of this society and in forensic
activities at The University of Geor
gia.
Therefore: Be it resolved by the
Demosthenian Literary society, in
regular session assembled, that we
procure a portrait of President San
ford and place it on the walls of our
hall among those portraits of other
great and distinguished men.
Other portraits on the walls of
the Demosthenian Literary society
include: General Robert E. Lee,
General Stonewall Jackson, Jeffer
son Davis, Robert Toombs, Chancel
lor Walter Hill, Senator William J.
Harris, and numerous others, all
members or honorary members of
Demosthenian in the past.

imately 25 of the men and women

The ballots must be signed by the

any error.
The superlative contest is being
tried in the University this year for
the first time, taking the place of
the usual election of campus beau
ties.

Co-eds in Opposition to Make-up Course;
Point Out Various Discrepancies of [Male
lly Jeanette Youmans
The men students at The Univer
sity of Georgia may feel that a
course in make-up technique is need
ed, but the women students agree
that it Is the men who need the
course. The men declared that the
women applied their make-up with
out subtlety; one co-ed retaliated by
saying that make-up applied with
out discrimination did not compare
with hair combed in the library as
lacking in subtlety.
Celeste Moore says, "If there is
anything that exceeds the masculine
vanity of those who set the waves
straight before and after library
work, it is the very antithesis of
this: those Southern gentlemen
whose idea of individuality of dress
is something short of the general
idea of the well dressed man. May
be they aim to please.”
Dorothy Ann Braswell, sophomore,
says, "This course might be of value
to freshmen girls."
Rae Neal, says, "If a course in
make-up technique were offered, no
one would take it. Every girl makes
up as she wants to.”
Meta Shaw declared, "No one
would take the course for it would
be too great a shock to the men
students if we changed our looks.”
Ida Mogul comes to the front
with, "If Georgia men insist that a
course in proper make-up technique
for women students should be offer
ed at The University of Georgia, may
I suggest that a Barber’s college
would be even more in place. You
men who complain because women
use make-up improperly should take
a day off and count the men who
neglect to shave more than twice a
week. Let him who is above re
proach cast the first stone.”
The University authorities will
not be bothered with petitions for
the addition of a make-up course;
that is. unless the men want to take
the course themselves. The men
may give advice as to the use of
kiBS-proof lipsticks, but the women
say that It is take It or leave It.
Jessie Thomas says, "If the men
don’t like the way we fix our faces,
we will stop fixing our faces and
see how they like it.”
Men students, it seems that If you
do not like the co-eds as they are
you are in a bad way. They show
no Inclinations of changing.
