Five undergraduates were summar
ily dismissed from the University of
Georgia by Chancellor Charles M.
Snelling, after a faculty committee
found them guilty of publishing a pa
per deemed “grossly discourteous”
and “probably libelous.” The Icono
clast came into being because of al
legedly undue faculty pressure on the
editors of the Red and Black. Offi
cial student paper, and in order to dis
cuss certain university questions that
the student paper refused to treat.

Charles F. Taylor, evangelist, spoke
to a good part of the student body
in the Assembly Hall Tuesday night
and is scheduled again for tonight.
He was in Bryan last week, coming to

ELEPHANTS
Two million elephants could
not do the work now being
done by General Electric
motors. Whatever the work
to be done
the power
the force of a man’s arm,
there is a General Electric
motor that will do it faith
fully for a lifetime at a cost
of a few cents an houi
, whether it needs
of an eleohant or
The elephant is man’s most intelligent helper.
But—consider this interesting comparison:
An elephant is much larger than the electric
motor of a “y ar d er ” or logging machine. The
“ysircler” has the power of twenty elephants; it
handles clusters of logs; it works dependably,
twenty-four hours at a stretch, if necessary.
Twenty elephants would eat daily 10,000 pounds
of green food, which a corps of attendants must
gather. A motor “eats” nothing but electricity,
supplied at the throw of a switch.
Power used in the modern industrial world is
applied through electric motors—tireless “iron
elephants” that are relegating antiquated ma
chines to museums, along with such oldtime
household articles as wash-tubs and ordinary
irons—and stuffed elephants.

Ain’t Nature Grand?
It was a beautiful spring night. The
moon hung overhead like a green
cheese and poured out its golden efful-
gency like a mist. The stars twinkled
drowsily. In a neighboring shrub a
mocking bird poured out his soul in
song. There was just enough breeze
to lightly stir the golden curls of the
Angel at my side. And that Angel!
Strolling as light as a cloud at my
side with her hand resting upon my
arm. The kind moonlight revealed to
me her soul-piercing eyes, her appeal
ing lips and the warm, soft curves of
her body, and the breeze wafted to
my nostrils her faint perfume. I was
intoxicated by her presence.
We reached the edge of the preci
pice and stopped. Far below us the
river rippled over the rocks and in
the distance the lights of farmhouses
gleamed like the jewels in a theatre.
My left arm stole around the fair
one’s waist and, in anticipation of in
describable delight, I drew her to me.
As our lips met in a gentle clinging
kiss our souls merged into one. Then
I picked her up and with a terrific
swing hurled her to the rocks far
below. She had kissed me with her
eyes open.
