A MUSICAL NUISANCE With no thought of depriv ing students of the pleusure and enjoyment, not to mention the delight fill raptures of the aesthetically Inclined, derived from music The Ited and Black deeply deplores the fact thut someone chooses the time a graduate class Is being held lo show off his musical accomplish ments by pounding on the piano in the V. M. C. A. rooms In the Academic building. The ears of The Hod and Black staff have not been train ed on this sector of the cam pus. and the matter was brought to Its attention by members of the class that was disturbed by the strains of alleged music floating upward through the many cracks and crevices in the building. Nevertheless. The Red nnd Black is of the opinion thut not even Y. M. C. A. music should he allowed to Interfere with the earnest pursuit of knowledge. Therefore, if stu dents must while away their spare time in this manner, they should choose a time when classes are not being held, or else put on the soft pedal. There Is no objection, so far as is known, to the "Y” boys singing psalms at meetings late In the afternoon, as was heard recently; but there are loud ob jections to students who disturb classes In the middle of the day. Well, it Isn't necessary to wait until next Wednesday to And out who's elected; the Uni versity League of Women Voters Is settling the issue by holding an election of Its own today. More atudents flocked to the chapel Monday to hear Deaclos lecture than have been tn the building In a long time. Attend ance was not compulsory. Why not try that with the chapel exercises? ABUSING ATHLETIC PRIVILEGES The method of admitting students to athletic events on the presentation of a Univer sity registration card permits many abuses, and practically every known ruse of getting friends admitted without tick ets has been tried. And, be it admitted, with a great degree of success. Obviously, when a student al lows another to use his card he Is a party in cheating the ath letic association of the Univer sity. Athletic cards are issued only to registered students and are non-transferable. The Uni versity has grown so large that It of course Is impossible for the men at the gates to recognize every Georgia man. But when authorities kick about abuses, it must be admitted that lax methods on the part of officials at the entrances In a measure Is to blame. It Is quite fair that the card of anyone caught using It Ille gitimately should be taken trom him; und duplicates will not be issued. This species of cheaters should be shown no more mercy than any other kind. A new system will be inaug urated next year. It is announc ed by Charles E. Martin, gradu ate manager of athletics. Books, similar to coupon books, with a ticket for each home game, will he issued to each student instead of cards. This may be an Improvement over - the old method, hut still It alone will not he sufficient to stamp out all evils. It lessens not one whit the responsibility of the gate keeper. Only a short time remains until student tickets for the Tech-Georgla game will be dis tributed. The Red and Black seriously doubts that any Geor gia man who has any friends who want to see the game has escaped so far without a request for one or more tickets. Each year th old myth about registra tion cards being necessary to get into Grant field is passed out, but it lias no effect on those who sell their precious pasteboards -—and there are a few who do not attend this game. Tech offlcluls allow Georgia these tickets with the under standing that only one will be Issued to each student and that only students will use them. Those who buy up several stu dent tickets for their friends, or who sell them at a profit, are just as guilty as scalpers. If you can't act as a gentle man, don't act at all. Delta Sigma Pi Initiates Five Members of Sigma King Reorganize The Sigma King fraternity, com posed of negro butlers of the vari ous fraternities at the University of Georgia, has undergone,a complete revision, according to one of the prominent members and officers. This organization was formed last year. “This year,” a member said, "we expect to have a good fraternity for already we have elected a good bunch of officers. Officers for the new ad ministration are: president, Cary Weaver, Kappa Sigma butler; treas urer, Charlie Hunter, Sigma Chi but ler; and secretary, Richard Dowdy, ftigma Nu butler. The purpose of this organization the informer went on to say, is to cause and promote a feeling of good will and friendship among the but lers of the fraternities. The meet ings are held once a month and a dollar per month is charged for dues. When the treasury account reaches a certain mark the members will re ceive a dividend to help them go on football tripe. Much Ado About Nothing Bv BOB SHERROD It is more than noticeable that the audience at a special chapel lec ture Is largely made up of fresh men and sophomores, who go more to see what the performer looks like is a large group of upperclassmen which seems to think that such fea tures are for the young and that, now that they have become of age, they put childish things behind them. Hallowe’en Black Cat Scares Rene By Rene Stuart The Red and Black staff—or that part of it which works Wednesday nights—had a party this week. That’s one reason the paper is off color. Now don’t go thinking that. It than for any other reason. There I was this way. I almost sprung an ankle climbing out of the window to ferret out the facts in the rumor that the old chapel piano had been heard in New College. I started out the door. But a black cat barred the way. Hence the use of a window as an exit. When I returned there the black cat was perched up on one arm of the editorial chair meowing to the moon, and the usually dignified mem bers of our fourth estate had aban doned their air of calm to partici pate in an Indian war dance around the cat. I spent two hours searching for a calendar to find out if It were Friday or the thirteenth, only to dis- All of them are not so entertain- cover that it was—Hallowe’en . ing.

More Extension Work Organized The recently created Division of University Extension at the Univer sity of Georgia aims “to carry some of the benefit and satisfaction of higher education to the large num ber of people who are unable to at tend the regular courses at the Uni versity,” according to J. C. Ward- law, Director. The chapel, however, was taxed to its feeble capacity and many shared in our disappointment. It is se riously doubtful if half the audience would sit through another hour while the French gentleman encour aged country boys and girls to at tend the European institution. wonderful dramatic ability in their skit showing how Red and Black re porters get scoops. If you missed the Scribes’ Scoop Wednesday you missed the best show in ages. It has been reported that I, Rene Stu art, wrote the skit, but being mod est, I do not claim the honor. Shhh, there’s a hot scandal about one of The Red and Black column- it’s amorous affairs. It will be re vealed in next week’s issue. Our idea of a much more interest ing lecture would be one by Dr. Coulter on the history of the Uni versity of Georgia. A gentleman who was fortunate enough to read an j q ELECTS advance copy of Dr. Coulter’s new book praised it very highly, and ac cording to his relation of the anec dotes, they are fascinating. In this same conversation, the talk drifted to outstanding alumni of Five new members were Initiated into the Delta Sigma PI commercial fraternity last week.

One irate gentleman wrote that he thought more benefit was derived from the fraternities than anything else in college with the exception of the Y. M. C. A. Fancy that! How many people in Georgia are supporters of A1 Smith because of his stand on changing the prohibi tion laws? Very, very few. The people of this state seem imbued with the Idea that prohibition Is a won derful success. One W. C. T. U. member recently stated that practi cally no drinking goes on now and that she hadn't seen more than two drunk men since 1919. On the other hand an old-timer recently In formed us that young men (and wo men) begin drinking much earlier by Demosthenian: Willard Harrell, West Point; Walter Anderson, At lanta; Walter Ryals, Macon; J.

Jolly, Marietta; J. A. Hedden, Atlanta; and Pope Bar- row, Savannah; Robert Dent, Roan oke, Va.. alternates. Phi Kappa won the freshman Im promptu debate last year by a unan imous vote of the judges. Previous to that Demosthenian had won three years in succession. and much heavier than in the old days before the Eighteenth Amend ment made the bootlegger rich. One Atlanta paper carries a story about a salesman of extracts and flavorings whose clientele Is largely composed of bootleggers. It seems that out of over 300 bootleggers ln- tejviwed by this man. less than 30 were voting for Smith. This seems quite natural.
