For Mercer, the work of ."Red”
Simmons; one of, the best fo.otball

uniform, iind one, of the hardest-
working basketball .candidates on

pilfering proclivities, tallied six field
goals. - .

CRUDUP PRESIDENT
PHI DELTA SOCIETY
Plenty of-Pep Pledged for Com
ing Year.
DR. MUNHALL TALKS
TO MERCER MINISTERS
There comes a time in the meet
ings of practically every organiza
tion when everything of a serious
nature is dispensed with and fun and
hilarity is allowed to reign supreme.
Well, this is what happened at the
first- meeting of the Phi . Delta Liter
ary Society on - Monday evening,
oft the winter term. Yes, we mean
the season began; with a rush and
some of that old-time pep that al
ways brings victory, was showed off
in . grand style. That the .society is
going forward irt spite of every ob-
stable was confirmed by the snappy
speeches of several members of the
grand order of orators, when they
pledged themselves to do more for
the advancement of the society.
Every valve was released and, my!
Uow-the. gas did escape, and it was
pure old Phi Delta’ gas, too, and had
the necessary spizzerrinktum to put
pep into everyone’s system.
Take a look .at the officers elected
to steer .old Phi Delta'through the
coming term, and' judge for yourself
as to what's going to happen in the
way of progress. Here they are:
Josiah Crudup, president; Broadus
Farrar, vice-president, Max Lasse-
ter, secretary; John Pol hill, critic;
J. L. Clegg,' censor; L. D. Tyner;
chaplain; L. I,. Lovett, assistant sec
retary; Bob Gamble', janitor and
chairman of program committee; R.
i„ Brantley, reporter.
Yes, Bob Gamble is at last in fiis
own. He takes up the position laid
down by Lovett, and no one need
hesitate apy longer about coming to
the society on account of a 1 lack of
heat, fur we feel sure. Robert will be
there on the job with beaucoup heat.
This is not the only office Bob was
elected to. Both positions are re
sponsible ones, but seriously speak
ing, we think being chairman of the
program committee is the most re
sponsible one in the whole corps of
officers, for there need be no society
if there is to.be nothing to do when
you go there. Snappy programs are
What everyone is looking for in the
future, so make it a point to be there
and hear them.
Every Monday evening .at 6:30! .
PROF. RAILEY MOVES
CYNTHIA QUARTERS
Speculation Now Rife All Over
Mercer Campus.
On Tuesday night, January 10,
the Ministerial Association met for
the first meeting of the year. On
account of the presence of Dr. Mun-
hnII, of Philadelphia, who is here as
a speaker at the Bible Conference,
and who spoke at the meeting, all
business was postponed.
•Dr. Munhiill marie a ■ straightfor
ward talk, to the ministers about
their calling to the gospel ministry.
The speaker gave several instances
of the failures of ministers on' ac
count of their vanity of trying to
preach up-to-date religion and not
sticking to the old fashioned Bible.
After the* speaker had emphasized
the importance of spiritual strength'
‘tie . proceeded, to explain, why physical
strength is of so much importance to
the minister's of> the gospel. The
speaker evidently -practiced for miiny
years the physical side of his life as
well as the spiritual slide as sh’own'
by the muscular, form of his b<tdy.

.1 ESSE HART, JR., RETURNS
..fcrtSsc Hart; Jr., who left Mercer at
the end of the winter term last year
to go to the Eastman-Gaines School
of Business and; study banking,' has
now returned to Macon and taken a
position with the Macon Savings
Bank.’
Jesse started his study of banking
in May of. last, year and graduated
in November. He wished to work in
New York* if it were possible, and so
stayed over in that city several
weeks, looking for a position. Theo
dore Mason Hart, Jesse’s brother,
who is now attending Mercer, says
that - he thinks Jesse spent' most of
the time looking for a job in the
cabarets and playhouses.
Jesse was unable to’ obtain a posl
tion in New York, , so he. came back
to Macon and took the position' With
the Macon Savings Bank. He is the
son of Jess.e. B. Hart, one of Macon’s
most prominent bankers,, a' former
Mercer student and > loyal supporter
oftjhe institution.
Coach Hutsell is “laboring” under
difficulties this season in order to
put out a team which will cope with
the S. I. A. A. opponents as Auburn
had . no letter men back this year,
thus, having to work with' "raw ma
terial.*’ • They have several substi
tutes of last year'and Dudley, a star
player, of the Columbus Y. M, C. A.
According to Auburn rooters, Fred
iluhn is si better forward than his
brother was last year; so js Dudley
a better shot at 1 the basket -than
Barks was.
Mercer players and supporters are
praying for. sweet revenge.” Last
year Auburn, defeated . Mercer by-a
score of 36-33 in the additional five
jninutes of play after having played
to a tie of 31-31 at the end of the
game. The defeat of Tech by a nar
row margin of two points gives the
Mercer supporters a strong confi
dence in Mercer players.
“Bo” Railey, known, in high-brow
circles in the Mercer college com
munity as Prof. James Lee Railey,
head of the department of, Econom
ies, and an • erstwhile fellow roomer
with the students in Sherwood Hall,
has moved his most notorious place
of abode to the more peaceful quar
ters in Cynthia Holliday Hall.
Speculation has been rife as to
why Mercer’s bachelor. professor
moved to the hall which bears in
name a . trace of feminity. Current
gossip has. it,. however, that the pa
tronym Of the ncVv quarters of the
Mercer professor had nothing to-do
with the change of residence, •
Among added conveniences to be
found in Professor Railey’s new
bachelor apartment are: a bath tub'
with running'water that really runs,
three large old. Colonial windows, a
bedroom as large’ us the Economics
ela&sroom and considerably larger
than the None-Such lunching palace,
and ‘other advantages relished by the
modern-day professor. 0
Although from latest reports, Pro
fessor Railey had not installed in hill
new quarters the sack darner which
Santa Claus .was asked to bring him,
it is understood 1 that there is ade
quate space for . this attachment.
While it is not definitely known, it
is rumpred. that some Commerce stu
dent is working on a plan which will
provide for the establishment in
Professor Railey’s suite of a private
None-Such lunch room on condition
that the Economies professor con
tribute toward its upkeep the car,
fare which he otherwise would qpend
in traveling .to and from the down
town lunch counter.
If someone else will arrange for
an occasional visit by Keith’s vaude
ville or a return engagement of Mutt
and Jeff, in Professor Railey’s suite,
it is said that Mercer students may
rightfully • expect to receive high
grades- from the contented professor.

the hearts of people all over the
South by his sweet singing of sacred
muBic at religious conventions and
conferences, gave .an evening of song
principally in Bessie Tift College
chapel on last Saturday night.
We are indebted to the Sophomore
Class, as that class brought him

themselves of the opportunity of
hearing him, and that numbered most
of fhe students and town people as
well. His program had much varia

The audience received the best, and
that was just what they expected, for
they had heard Mr. Butler about a
year ago, when he visited here under
similar circumstances. Mr. Butler
will always be greeted by a large,
sympathetic and interested audience
at Bessie Tift.

CICERONIANS OFF
TO GOOD START
SHEPHERD’S FATHER DIES
Monday night was the marking of
the beginning of another glorious
year to the many, years of
glory and fame which the Ciceronian
Literary Society has enjoyed. This
ycur seems to hold for each Cicero
nian a greater and clearer way in
which to make Mercer famous*
through its most noted organization.
Each member has resolved within
himself to make the Ciceronian name
better name, better than it has
ever been in all these years in which
it has so gloriously existed.
At the meeting of Monday.night
the members agreed to celebrate the
society’s victories with 'a banquet
which will be held at the I.anier
Hotel on the fifteenth-of February.
They also selected the leader of the
Ciceronian' Basketball Team, which
intends to defeat our brother society.
The members also elected new offi
cers and discussed many points
concerning' the society which will
make literary work more, attractive'
find uplifting.
If it had not been for Mr. Burnett
heeding a boy to milk the cow that
night, the Ciceronians would have
enjoyed a lecture which dealt with
important Ciceronian advantages,
needs and prospective changes.
- We cordially invite, not. only all
old Mercer men, but all those' who
have recently enrolled, to come up
and pay us a visit next Monday night
at 6:30 o’clock. R. E. P.
