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.
