traditional mud in the political arena
this week when Forget-Me-Not, au
thor of a scathing lett.er-to-the-editor
denouncing P. J. Hudson, sent the
campus leader a bouquet of imag

grave.
A candidate for the vice-presi
dency of the junior class, Arthur
Stewart Jr., White Plains, mean

old dormitory alignments in the cam

Dormitory to the New Dormitory,
hoping to break Ag Hill solidarity.
Stewart's twin brother is politicking

the stute as a part of their degree
work. Only those who are within 45
hours of graduation are eligible to
participate in the new system in
augurated this quarter by Glenn W.
Sutton, assistant professor of finance.
“This is an attempt to tie up the
practical side of business with the
theoretical side, as the theoretical
side bus been too remote from the
actual business world,” said Sutton.
The program, which is as yet only
in effect in the finance department,
may be extended to the other
branches of the school.
At present there are six students
working under the pian in five cities.
Thu apprentices will work in each
department of their firms on a time
schedule in order to get a picture of
the business as a whole. They will
be required to turn in a weekly re
port of their work to Mr. Sutton,
and a term paper on the completion
of their work. Credit for two courses
will be given to each of the appren
tices.
First letters from the apprentices
indicate that the firms are cooperat
ing in teaching the practical side
of their businesses.
Those working under the plan
are: David Brown, Lyons, and Dan
Franklin, Atlanta, with Courts and
Co., Atlanta; A. B. Whaley, Pelham,
with the First National Bank and
Trust Co., Macon; Claybourne Dyal,
Woodbine, with Liberty National
Bank and Trust Co., Savannah;

Third 100-Hour No-Sleep Experiment
To Be Conducted by Human Guinea Pigs
Ily Edith Heffner
The human guinea pigs are at It
again. Starting Tuesday morning at
8 o'clock, five more students will do
nate 100 hours for the sake of psy
chology, science, and all-night dates.
This is the third time that the
psychology department of the Uni
versity of Georgia has made this ex
periment. The first was in 1932, in
which two boys were tested. Winter
quarter of this year, the second was
made, with five girls and two boys.
This time there will probably be
three girls and two boys. David Bel
cher and Lamar Beall, graduate as
sistants who were in charge last
quarter, will again conduct the tests.
The only change in the experiment
this time will be the presence of a
control group. This group, consist
ing of about 10 students, will take
the same tests which the “guinea
pigs" take, hut will lose no sleep.
The students who make the test
will stay awake from Tuesday morn
ing at 8 o’clock until Saturday noon.
During this time they will attend
classes regularly and otherwise lead
a normal life except for the loss of
sleep. They will be given a series
of 18 tests daily, including reaction
time, steadiness, ability to follow di
rections. and a complete physical ex
amination.
“Repeating this experiment does
not mean that previous ones have
been unsatisfactory," said Mr. Bel
cher. “A number of similar tests
are needed before definite conclusions
can be drawn.”
Some of the students who partici

and help give the tests. The names
