ITS GREAT TO BE AN ARKANSAN” In these duys of banned dic tionaries and encyclopedias, we are reminded of two things: the Dark Ages, and the Thomp son regime in the city of Chi cago. And If definitions were not against the law, we might define the Arkansas legislature (for we suppose It Is responsi ble) as being “that thing de scended, if not from a lower form of life, from God-knows- what, to a depth below which It is impossible to descend lower.” We don't know what books Will be left for th« public schools of the state of Arkansas after the Webster's Unabridged, the Encyclopedia Britaunlcn, and the World Book are taken away. We might suggest the primer, tint then perhaps they would object to anything radical. Looking for a motive In pass ing such a measure, The Bed and Black can see only one pos sible thing. Under present cir cumstances, students who would normally go to the University of Arkansas will feel It a duty to themselves to go to colleges out of the state, thus allowing a cut tn the appropriations that would have to be made by the legislature to support the state Institution. Clouded by this state of af fairs, The Red and Black sees only one good thing in Arkan sas: it furnished an able run ning mate for A1 Smith in hts recent race for the presidency. It Is hoped by some residents of the state, the state school su perintendent.-for Instance, that a strict enforcement of the law will prove its folly. If this is required to prove Its folly, we doubt If the state of Arkansas will ever come to such a reali zation; in which case we con sider the state as lost to educa tion In spite of the efforts of the 4-H society and the slams In a certain green-backed maga zine, official under-arm decora tion of the intelligentsia. The stench of ignorance rises in a mist to befog the minds of Arkansas youths. The bigotry of the fathers shall be forced down the throats of the sons. Unless Mr. Womack, state su perintendent of public schools, can carry out his plan for strict enforcement in order to bring about repeal, the children of Arkansas must look beyond the realm of their native state for a liberal education. Imagine having to smuggle Webster's dictionary into school in true dime-novel style! How can people who are supposed to rank as Intelligent human beings manifest such Thompsonian stu pidity? Men, women, and chil dren all over the world will laugh when the word Arkansas is spoken and picture a group of tobacco stained, bedraggled farmers wrangling over theories which they seem totally unable to comprehend and banning books from their schools writ ten and composed by some of the world's most brilliant men and women. It seems strange that the state of Arkansas should pick this time to pass a law when the entire south is making an effort to advance education. Surely such an absurd display of narrow-minded tommy-rot will do great harm to the cause of education In the south. The people of UhlcuRo and Dayton, Tenn., are the only people In America who cannot afford to snicker at these blundering backwoodsmen. Arkansas has now Joined Tennessee in taking its abode In the Hall of Infamy. GEORGIA SPIRIT Georgia's loss of a football p ime cannot entirely be blamed on the team. Continually throughout the season, the stu dent body has shown less and less spirit. There seems to have been no desire to support the team. There seems to be little realization of the fact that a football team without the stu dent body’s support cannot be expected to win all of Its games. At the Florida game In Sa vannah, the Georgia student section looked and sounded like it was composed of so many wax figures that cared little how the game came out. Perhaps a little concentrated yelling would have helped a great deal In pull ing a surprised group of play ers back into a smooth-work ing unit. The cheer lenders have done their part. Often their work seems to be useless, for some times they ask for a yell and get a silent cheer instead. Just a little co-operation, pep. and spirit In the cheering section would go a long ways toward making Georgia victories. Last year It was easy to hop on the hand wagon and cheer a team that achieved Its greatest victory, the one at New Haven, without a cheering section of any size. Is it any harder to do your bit and cheer the team when It has not had such easy sailing? What is one loss, anyhow? Victories In the remaining three games would put the Bulldogs in the midst of the fight for conference honors and none will deny that a victory in the final game will make a successful season. The team la going to do its best. Will It have the support of the entire student body? Much Ado About Nothing By BOB SHP.RROD Rarnum was right. A trip out to the Clarke County Agricultural and Industrial Fair Is most convincing that the old show man knew his ani mals when he declared that “a fool is born every minute." People are suckers. And the most distressing thing about it is that they know that they are suckers but still continue to be Buekers. The old Army game, the con men, the sure thing men all fleece the ignorant and foolish alike out of hundreds of hard earned dollars daily. Alan J. Gould, Associated Press sports editor, sees a glimmering in the sky or perhaps the handwriting on the wall. He comments that it would be the irony of Fate if the Georgia football team should defeat Tech When the Yellow Jackets had a national title in their grasp. Thous ands of Georgia supporters would leap with glee to see the Red and Black avenged for last year's crush ing blow on a wet December day. National Dancing Club is Formed By Miss Lewis A club of natural dancing is being formed by the women students of the University of Georgia it has been announced by Miss Alga Lewis, in structor of Physical Education in the University. An invitation to form the nucleus of this new club has been extended to Misses Julia Bradwell, Athens; Laura Bradbury, Athens; Helen Briscoe, Monroe; Winifred Orr, Ath ens; Anna Crabb, Athens; Sarah Morris, Athens; Francis Forbes, Ath ens; Gladys Belsario, New York; and Della Carlisle, Decatur. Rules governing eligibility to the club, a general policy, and plans were drawn up at a meeting in Bar- row hall Tuesday night. “Natural dancing seeks to inter pret a piece of music, an idea, or an emotion, through natural move ments of the body, such as walking, skipping, running, leaping and hop ping. It must be free from postures, posings, and studied positions of hands, feet and body. It must be free from all that is not sincere,” ex plained Miss Lewis. Georgia is due t obe “right” pretty soon, a state the Bulldogs have not attained since the Yale defeat. Well, i* would be a coincidence if the Bulldogs should walk away with vic tory on December 8, but don’t men tion it to a Tech man. And isn’t Georgia supposed to win in alternate years? Too little publicity has been given to the fact that Georgia is to play Yale in Athens next fall. Every body doesn't realize that Yale only plays one game annually outside the Bowl, and that with Princeton or Harvard on alternate years. Any way. we venture to predict that Dr. Sanford is the only man in the Unit ed States who could have turned the trick. There is a worried look in some students' eyes. Quite a few little green slips have been sent to parents over the state saying “your son has been placed on probation,” and most of those parents raise more than a little heekum about the fact, although the student be overcut In only one course. The slips are a bit brief, maybe, and don’t fully explain. A burst from college humor: He: "I notice that the cigarette companies are catering more than ever to the feminine trade.” Him: "Well, it’s time they were buying their own cigarettes.” What's happened to the advertis er who used to run this “only 102 more shopping days ui^til Christ mas" stuff? Or maybe we don’t read *he advertisements enough. A few Seniors have started worry ing about that Job after graduation. Most of them, however, will not change their habits and will wait until they have a diploma In hand to face the cruel world. Some do not start a search until Christmas after the June of their graduation. Will there be a Georgia spirit, or will it be buried with the relics of the past? The Red and Black believes that the never-say-die spirit of Georgia, now asleep, will finally awaken, but when offers another ques tion which only the student body can answer. DR. BROOKS TO ATTEND MANUFACTURERS' MEET Dr. R. P. Brooks, dean of the Uni versity of Georgia School of Com merce, will attend fhe Southern Manufacturers’ Sales conference in Atlanta, November 22. Dr. Brooks attended last week the Southern Economic conference, read ing a paper to that body on "Indus trialization of the South.” UNIVFRSITY GRADUATE ON PHARMACY BOARD W. T. Edmunds.

This follows the election in Au gust of the University of Georgia R 'hool of Pharmacy to the American Association of Colleges of Pharmacy.
