Magazines do look beautiful and
colorful on tables of both the coffee
and end variety. But it is for this
j and another reason that they exist.
I It lias been found that on once open
ing the cover of, for instance, Serib-
] tier’s, the most casual observer will
notice that there is something with-
j in. Something printed! Reading
j matter! Yes, and to go further, the
j reading matter has a title and if it
happens to be: “The 1032 Presiden
tial Sweepstakes,” with Frank R.
Kent’s name next to the word “by,”
interest will undoubtedly be aroused.
Frank It. Kent has been associated
j with the newspaper end of politics
for some thirty years and his opin
ions are not to be overlooked. He
has a keen, comprehensible article
dealing with the presidential mim-
! inatfon that will come off before the
average layman gives it a thought.
Of Intci-cNt to Democrats
The article will be of great inter
est to Democrats, In that It gives
more consideration to the Demo-
icratic nominee than to the Republi
can nominee. Mr. Kent has come to
the conclusion that three men have
been singled out for Democratic nom
ination: Franklin D. Roosevelt.
| Governor of New York: Owen D.
} Young, New York: and Governor
Albert C. Ritchie, of Maryland.
The author has observed that the
Republicans will re-nominate Mr.
Hoover.
Due to certain current distur
bances, the Democratic party will
continue to place as much stress on
platform as they have done In the
past. A platform, upon whose
boards will be labeled: "Power Trust
and Prohibition, the Stock Exchange,
and the International Rankers, the
Wlckersham report and what one
Progressive senator delicately refers
to as ‘the garbage pails of Wall j
Street’.”
“The 1932 Presidential Sweep-
stakes” is one of a series of articles
on the presidential situation that will
appear In Scribner’s prior to the pres
idential fracas.
Tlte Atlantic Monthly
Atlantic Monthly is adaptable to
almost any piece* of living room or
library furniture, and it has an at
tractive binding that contrasts taste
fully with mahogony or maple. Once
inside the rover, again the onlooker
will find something to catch the eye,
and hold it. The June issue offers a
thought-provoking article by a Smith
college professor, William Orton,
called “Hollywood Has Nothing to
Learn.” The source was the result
of an interview or what-have-you
with Mr. Von Sternberg, the direc
tor. And it was Mr. Von Sternberg
who said “Hollywood has nothing
to learn.” Just what he meant by
that will be learned upon reading the
article. Rut the author indicates
that the moving picture industry Is
divided between two factions, name
ly: art vs. dollars and cents.
Refore the book Is published, read
ers of Atlantic Monthly will have the
privilege of reading Mazo De La
Roche's latest novel of the White-
oaks of Jalna, “Finch’s Fortune.”

Mrs. Katherine Fullerton Gerould

with the younger set is emphasized
in Mrs. Gerould’s article. She finds

Parting Shots
A Miscellany of Facts and Gossip Picked Up at Random
About the University Campus in Four Years.
By Harry Bumper
Report that the financial success |
of the Georgia Co-operative associa
tion would soon result in its expan
sion and the establishment of
branches in colleges throughout the
Southeast was spiked early this week
when an enterprising reporter for
The Red and Black discovered that
all colleges had a similar organ.
At the same time, rumors that
the “co-op" had "made a million"
were being discouraged by those on
the inside, who insist that all the
profits have gone into the salaries
of the student salesmen and into re
stocking the shelves.
Add “Lunch Hoorn"
The co-op this year moved into
more expansive and luxurious quar
ters on the ground floor of New Col
lege. added a “lunch room" and an
Improved system of mail delivery.
It was, to say the least, a rather
v eak gesture toward the lunch room
idea which has been defended by the
faculty man in charge and with
which all students are familiar.
The co-op supplies students with
practically all academic necessities,
including tons of textbooks, at a sav
ing. It is manned by a number of
students, who in return for a stipu-!
lated number of hours during each
week, receive a monthly remunera
tion which used to amount to $16. j
Sort of Mono|M>ly
It has a monopoly on textbooks,
which for something like 1.800 stu
dents is a monopoly Indeed. Rooks
retailing at $6 can be had at the co
op for $5.50, $2 books for $1.90,
and so on down the savings scale.
But there are numerous com
plaints. All rather vague. Still
they all hint that the co-op has more
money and makes more than it
claims (If it has even made a claim).

Here’s another good one from

in a Spanish city recently locked
their professors in a classroom until

The students had asked the faculty

cause of the time lost during the
past year through strikes and dis
orders. The faculty had refused.

W lint Is A l Diversity?
It is commonly suid that the
purpose of a university is to
educate its students. To educate
does not mean to drive In. hut
to draw out. Kducation Is n
process of development, and de
velopment comes about only
through Individual effort. The
student educates himself.
file purpose of a university
might lie suid to lie twofold: lo
provide opportunity for the stu
dent to educate himself, and
to guide und Inspire him in the
effort Of these, to inspire the
student is the most Important.
Opportunity Is everywhere, ami
method can be acquired without
Kreat difficulty, but the spirit
of interest in the intellectual ad
venture is not easily found.
One is reminded of a school
In Scotland, n small school, but
one that had for Its master a
man who was a real teacher.
From that school went out stu
dent after student who made
important contributions to the
work of the world. A school
like that is a real university.
It is not to memorize the al
phabet that a person comes to a
university. Facts he can get
anywhere. Hut the real pur
pose of a university Is to inspire
the student with a love for in
tellectual effort and for truth,
with a vision of problems to be
s lived, and with a determina
tion to play one’s part well.
With these things in mind. It
might be well to ask; To what
degree is Georgia a university?
Ilcllcr Thun Kver
With the end of the 1930-31
scholastic year Just around the
corner, The Red und Black this
week comes to a close with
what It believes to be one of
the most successful years the
University of Georgia in Its long
history lias ever experienced.
Many changes have come in
the past nine months, virtually
all of them in line witli the
modern trend of progress, and
many more undoubtedly will
come In future years. True,
the university is still lagging
behind in a great many respects,
hut If as many progressive steps
are Liken hereafter as has been
the ruse in the past few years,
II will he only a short matter
of time until the University of
Georgia will he well up among
the college leaders of this nation.
Starting the yenr off on the
right fool, Georgia's football
team won nationwide promi
nence liy defeating three of the
strongest teams In the entire
country Yale, New York uni
versity and Georgia Tech. Few
college fool hall squads can boast
of such a record. And now a
game has been scheduled for
next fall with the University of
Southern California, Georgia
being the first southern team to
schedule a regular season game
with a far western foe.
One new building has been
added to the campus -that now
occupied by the military depart
ment on Baldwin street near
Woodruff hall; plans tor a new
men’s dormitory costing $150,-
000 have already been com
pleted and work is to begin Im
mediately so that It will be
ready for occupancy by Janu
ary, 1932. In addition, the
Georgia co-op early in the fall
changed its location from (lie
old I’lii Kappa building to the
more central location on the
first floor of New College.
Dr. A. S. Edwards and the
psychology department greatly
expanded and raised the stand
ing of the university clinic, anil
performed one notable experi
ment which gained national at
tention.
Dohating regained much of
its former prestige, which for
the |>ast several years had been
so sadly lacking, when the uni
versity held Its first interna
tional debating contest with
Cambridge university of Eng
land. Enlarging the program.
Oxford university will be met
next fail.
Professor Hugh Hodgson's
weekly musical recitals have
come to be appreciated more and
more, and now the university
chapel is filled at every such oc
casion.
The university extension de
partment, under the capable di
rection of J. C. Wardiaw, has
expanded until nearly 2,000
students are now enrolled.
Perhaps one of the most sig
nificant steps was taken in the
Lumpkin Law school, where the
honor system was innovated and
is now working with complete
satisfaction.
Georgia again came through
with a Rhodes scholarship se
lection, Milton Jarnagln being
chosen as one of the four south
ern representatives.
The fourth annual Press in
stitute, which met here tn Feb
ruary, was the most success
ful ever held, assembling such
prominent men as Claude G.
Rowers. Sherwood Anderson.
Dr. Harley L. Lutz and others.
Georgia's basketball squad
had an almost perfect season
record nnd went to the semi
finals in the Southern confer
ence tournament.
The second Honors' Day was
observed with approximately
200 students being honored.
The Thalian and Blackfriar
clubs, after Individually observ
ing a successful season, merged
to form the Thalian-Blackfriar
club. This was one of the ma
jor developments of the year,
and plans are now under way
for construction of a playhouse
for the club.
Finally, efforts are being
made to establish the quarter
system here, which If success
ful will do more than any other
one thing to elevate the Univer
sity of Georgia to a position in
the front ranks of American
colleges.
