W. E . Clark Resigns TWO SORORITIES
TRADE DANCES

RISE IN PRICES
HAS NO EFFECT

To Teach In Georgia FOR BONDS

ON CAFETERIA

Another University instructor, W.
E. Clark of the English department,
resigned during the holidays, making
a total of four who have left the
can.pus since September 1.
He has taen a oosition as instructor in advanced English at the North
Georgia State Teachers college in
Cahlonega. Go., which is a branch
of the University of Georgia.
In October, Just after Dr. Charles
F. Krewson's resignation from the
chemistry department, Dr. H. L.
Donovan attributed the wave of resignations to low salaries paid here,
saying. "We wouldn't have lost any
of these men if we could have paid
them decent salaries."
Clark's departure, according to Dr.
L. L. Dantzler. head of the English
department, may be attributed to
the same cause. "He was offered
rrore money and he left." Dr.
Dantzler said.

Income Is Equal
To Expenditures,

Limbaeh Says
SARAH ARMBRl'STEK
The rise of food prices has not
affected the management at either
the dormitory or the Union building cafeteria, according to Miss
Alberta Limbaeh. director.
The same food and service are
being given the student body and
expenses are being made without
any increase in the prices of the
meals. At present the marginal
income i equal to the expenses, she
said.
"If we fail to make expenses,
said Miss Limbaeh, "we shall have
to raise our prices at the cafeteria
to meet this situation."
An average of 800 meals per day
it now being served. If the patronage of the students continues,
there will be no need for an increase in the cost of a meal at the
Union, she explained. The number
has not decreased any as yet because of the war. These 800 meals
do not include any of the dinners,
luncheons or other sprcials the
Union management is called upon to
handle.
Miss Limbaeh added that, in addition to student patronage,
often eat in the cafeteria,
and that visiting high school students seem invariably to head for
the grill.
From January 27 to 30. there
will be 1000 extra people on the
campus attending the annual Farm
and Home convention. The cafeteria will handle the meals for
these visitors in addition to the
regular student trade. The enlarged
number which will take meals there
will help to meet the rise of prices.
In addition to this, there will be
several luncheons and dinners that
Miss Limbaeh and her helpers will
prepare for the convention. Miss
Limbaeh said that the men will be
served at the stock pavillion and this
will be etxra worn. i
