DESTRUCTIVE MISCHIEF
Tin* ever mischievous youth of
iht* University Insists upon Its
tricks, which happen always to
ho the same: they never change.
In thin tmrttcular caa*> it Is
again the story of the misplaced
sign, the sign luting that of
headquarters of the Clarke
county fair which Ik to In* held
the middle of next month.
It npeara that the cloth
streamer, placed In front of the
Marlon hotel which Is to be
headquarters for the first an
nual exhibition of the (Mark**
County Agricultural and Indus
trlul Fair, was removed at
night and placed In front of one
of the sorority houses on Mil-
ledge avenue to the suprlse. and
we will not say pleasure, of the
residents of that house.
This appears on tin* surface
to be a mere trick and a harm
less one for the pleasure of the
students who did It. Hut one
cannot dismiss the case with
simply that. The fact tlia. the
committee on ttnauces was an
doubt called upon for an expen-
* >U!i** of not less than Ten dol
lars to replace the mutilated
banner some may Insist ts a mat
ter of unimportance. This Is
from the standpoint of those
who do not have to pay.
Even so, linances and dignity
and other such considerations
are of nominal importance when
one considers this fact. This
demonstration Ir Indicative of
the lack of respect on the part
of students (or u certain part
of them at least! for the wishes
of the people of Athens and
Clarke county who. perhaps un
known to some, have been In
strumental to some extent lit
the progres sof the University.
Consider these things: Moore
College is the gift of the cty of
Atheus. Miliedge Hall is the
result of gifts from Clarke
county. The gate receipts at
athletic events depend largely
upon the patronage of the Ath
ens and Clarke county popu
lace. Liberties are allowed
University students by the Ath
ens police department and other
city institutions which are not
given to the general public. A
large part of the work being
done on the stadium is being
done by Clarke county labor.
And other things might he
named. In view of these facts,
it appears that the University
students are little appreciative
of the help given this Institution
by this municipality and tills
county.
HOMECOMING
On behalf of the student body,
faculty, and Athletic associa-
of the University of Georgia,
The Itcd and Black extends a
hearty welcome to the alumni
and visitors who will be guests
of the University this week-end.
The Athletic association ten
ders Its regrets that the game
with TuInne, which tills year
features the animal homecoming
event, cannot he played on the-
field of the new stadium
Though the entire north side ol
the structure has been com
pleted ready to seat a crow'd
of IX,000, the playing field, de
spite u heavy growth of grass,
is too soft to insure a fast and
colorful game.
It is ulwuys a pleasure for the
Unierslty to entertain at this
annual gathering. It is hoped
that the week-end from the
standpoint of the alumni and
< visitors will he a pleasant one.
WANTED: CONCRETE
WALK
When the Commerce-Jour
nalism building was completed
last spring, a hoard walk was
laid, with the promise of con-
erete walks as soon as the earth
used to till in near the Im I Id tug
settled. The planks aro uneven,
have broken and come looHe,
until tin* walk is no longer a
creditable substitute.
If a concrete walk can not
lie constructed at this time, the
old one at least should be re
paired or removed entirely.
Many students have found that
the road offers a much better
pathway, but In rainy weather
this detour is Impracticable.
A little money would go a
long way toward Improving what
may be termed an eyesore and
a footsore.
Stuart Claims
October Cracker
A Poor Attempt
Meandering With
The Crowd
By GUY HAMILTON
liy Item- Stuart
The October Cracker finally come
I out but It might as well have stayed
in. Maybe the editor was waiting
until the eve of the presidential
|election, in order to swing the doubt
ful voters over to the correct side.
At any rate, the Cracker Is out.
The first Cracker proved to be a
j disappointment, what with such ex
cellent election jokes to choose from
and such a diversification of cam
paign hull to satirize and mimic. As
a whole. It Is rotten, but there are
j some bright spots that threaten to
! Iire-ik out into something humorous.
The cover is clever, although the
] size of the magazine brings misgiv
ings. and nullifies the promising ef-
! led of the drawing. On the first
page begins the parade of pointless
jokes, which are not stale because
no one ever before thought them
worthy of copying. The editor must
hue been so deeply engrossed in his
political literature that lie loft the
exchange jokes up to the office boy
at McGregor’s. There were toniy
two funny jokes in the entire issue.
Iletlin Address Good
Senator Heflin’s address to the
Florida storm sufferers is pretty
good. The editor must have written
that. And Dr. Sunscrlpt’s lecture on
the early English novel is really
clever: the speech is well-written
and accurately quoted. The two
sketches of the Democratic candi
date for president proved as inter
esting as they were consistently par
allel. However, the sketch does
seem familiarly like H. I. Phillips.
A poem about someone’s inhibi
tions. as well as can be figured out.
and the usual book reviews compose
tin* entire literary part of the maga
zine. Surely some of the burning
poets who littered the pages of the
Cracker last year are still in school.
The neglecting of this part of the
Cracker did not help it any.
The business manager of the
Cracker must have had an easy time
last month. Wonder how much it
did cost?
Just a day or so now before the
iresidential election, and then the
!ever-heated campaigning will be a
natter of history. Presidential cam-
qaigns, like big driverwheels, slowly
gather momentum, and gradually
work up to white hot speed. After
election day they cease instan
taneously. The defeated candidate's
party, fighting madly one day, is
strangely silent the next.
Nothing is so much needed as a
change in the old regime. Since the
history of the world, a party in
power has always become corrupt
with the passage of time, and a
shakeup has alw-ays occurred. Then
the old cycle over again.
The Republican party, feeling
safe, takes an attitude of compla
cency anil ultra-conservatism. The
Democrats have to blast them out
of the way. so must resort to new
measures.
The Democrats would carry on a
far more intelligent campaign if
they ceased appealing to 60-year-old
prejudices as a means of convincing
the intelligent voters of the south.
But it's not near as bad as the big
otry and prejudice that are stirred
up by the smug asses who claim to
think morality is at stake.
There is unquestionably a need
for a change of administration.
Democrats have new, progressive
measures planned. The G. O. P.,
after wallowing in scandals and
thievery for eight years, has little
to say or offer.
A lot of Georgia students were at
the Notre Dame game Saturday, and
were able to see one of the best of the
season. It was a crackajack affair all
the way through, and Notre Dame
put up a far better fight than they
are given credit for. Tech has a
line that is probably the equal of
any in the United States, and the
gains that are made through it are
few and far between.
We wonder why cars drive up in
the lane by Old College at night,
and park.
Scribes to Have
Scoop Wednesday
l»> Wylly Folk
For tin* first time in the history
of tin* Scribes, women's journalistic j
dull, a Scoop lias been achieved.
Wednesday afternoon. October 31. an
informal Scoop will he given at Me
morial hall, to which ail women of
tin* University are invited.
An Interview with prominent mem
bers of the club gleaned the follow
ing facts about the nature of a
Scoop:
It is done, so to speak, to a tea.
No etiquette book will tell you
what to wear. Just wear what you
are in the habit of wearing to an
afternoon Scoop.
You need not bring provisions,
they will he S-ooped out to you. and
If the Press is not too great, there
| will be plenty to go around.
A program of a Journalistic Type
! has been arranged, featuring a skit
entitled, "How a Stage-Reporter
Gets a Scoop.” This will be news
to many.
In conclusion, a Scoop cannot be
de-Scrlbed. it has to be seen to be
, appreciated.
The new system of electing the
staff has shown little improvement
over the old system, except that It
removes the necessity of the staff
working to retain their positions, as
openly announced.
P. S. The Cracker is for A1 Smith.
Play Reading is
Heard by Guild
The Athens Little Theatre Guild
presented Sutton Vane's “Outward
Bound” us a play-reading Wednes
day night In the Lucy Cobb Chapel.
The reading was given by a selected
cast from the Guild and was for
members of the Guild and their
guests.
Those taking part in the play
reading were: Misses Carolyn Vance
and MaXita Bullock: Mrs. Fred Bur-
man; Messrs. Roosevelt Walker.
Carlton Mell, Thomas Green. Jr.,
Peter Brown, Maxwell McRoberts.
and John Green.
The November offering of the Lit
tle Theatre Guild will be Eugene
O’Neill's three-act play, “Bevcnd
the Horizon:'' the first of O’NetH's
Pulitzer prize plnvs. There are sev
eral University students in the cast.
Chapel services are beginning to
be less boring than formerly. May
be it’s the novelty of having the
organ.
The breezy weather feels good at
times, but always has the opposite
effect at 7:45 a. m., when trying
to dress for an 8:40. The fellow
who pets poetic about the Invigorat-
'ng autumn blasts probably never
had to buy coal from an Athens coal
dealer, either.
If the Colonial theatre would have
another decent show here this fall
the students who didn’t die of shock
would appreciate it.
In suite of mu'*!! that has been
said about the remaking of the law
school, it seems to be holding along
'ts same old course. It’s a pity that
•h's institution which absorbs the
attention of so many students dur-
'ng the morning hours should be off
the campus. Law students seem to
'•» 'n another world, never having
any classes with the academic
crowd, and never having occasion to
come on the campus at all.
And what Is In the little pond in
'-ont of LeConte hall? Quite a num
ber of unpronounceable plants and
Remodeling of
Co-ed Domitory
Nears Completion
Remodeling work at Soule hall,
on the campus of the State College
of Agriculture, which was begun
during the summer probably will be
completed by Thanksgiving, accord
ing to those in charge.
The first floor has been completely
done over. What was formerly the
gymnasium and swimming pool has
been transformed Into an elevated,
formal reception hall.
Around the hall are banisters to
separate it from the rest of the first
floor. At each side of the short
staircase leading to the formal re
ception hall will be placed floor
lamps. Ferns and palms are to be
distributed about the room. Paint
ings by the late Miss Mary Franklin
will he hung on the walls. Hard
wood floors have been put in. There
are a few dormitory rooms on the
first floor.
Second Floor Plan
The second floor is practically fin
ished. It is composed mostly of dor
mitory space. What was formerly
the reception hall has been made
into lied rooms. The offices have
been moved to the first floor. The
rooms have been rewaxed and paint
ed. Space for a reading room for
newspapers and current periodicals is
being reserved. Speaking tubes con
necting the entire building will be
installed in the halls of the respec
tive floors.
Several rooms on the third floor
have been renovated. A new stair
way from this floor to the laundry
which is in the basement has been
built in the south wing.
Steam Heat Installed
Soule hall annex and the home
management cottage which are across
the street from Soule hall have been
furnished with steam heat, hot and
cold water, and hardwood floors.
The home management cottage is
considered a model of modern con
venience.
ADVANCED UNIFORMS TO
BE READY IN NOVEMBER
Sometime during the early part
of November the advanced students
of the R. O. T. C. will appear with
new uniforms, . which are being
tailored-to-measure.
These uniforms, which will be
similar to those of last year in style,
are costing much more than those
of last year, and therefore they will
be of much better quality and will
give a more striking appearance to
the cadets.
* choice collection of mosquito feed
no doubt.
The freshman class of '32 has
nlenty of pep all rieht. Whenever
nass meetings are held in the chapel
they nearly take the roof off.
The Senior Ring question has been
settled. God’s in His heaven and
nil’s right with the world.
Workers on the campus have a
! peculiar-looking instrument to cut
'grass with. It looks a little bit like
a jungle machete knife.
Everyone is waiting with impa
tience for the traffic lights to be in
stalled. Why not put one on the
walk in front of the new building?
Chief of Detectives Seagraves of the
local force is said to be kept busy
at night patrolling the campus.
Tut. Tut.
