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.
