Business activity in Georgia, as
well as over the entire nation,
showed a slight increase during the
past month, according to pre-released
press reports from the Georgia Bus
iness Review. However, any ad
vances have been overshadowed by
the apparent weakness of the stock
market and the commodities market.
Leaders in the stock market, such
as U. S. Steel, have recently estab
lished new lows for the depression.
Any further declines are expected
to be limited In extent, but at the
same time there is no prospect for
a sustained recovery in stock prices,
corporate earnings, or commodity
prices.

The reform spirit crept into the
souls of the law students.

"We'll hnve an honor system,"
they said. And they did. They tried
it out for the first time this year.
They still have it.
"Cheating hns been eliminated,”
asserted one of the student judges of
the honor court. Cheese!-
That honor court has a history.
Apparently not all of the students
are satisfied. Some even charge that
the Judges were more or less self-
appointed. Several admit that cheat
ing still exists within those honor
able halls on examination days.
Law students are crafty. They
get to be the real politicians of the
university, and run things when
they take a notion to do so. Some
of the best fishermen in school are
lawyers—and they get big catches.
Great stuff. Josephine.

Professional Aspirations
There is a strong feeling of cama
raderie between students working
toward the same degrees. They have
common interests and are thrown to
gether in common undertakings
which bind them much closer, often
times. than do many of the so-called
social fraternities.
That Is the basis for the founda
tion and the continued existence of
the professional fraternities.
lYnfewdonal Fraternities
In every school, there is a pro
fessional fraternity. Sigma Delta
Chi for Journalists; Delta Sigma Pi
and Alpha Kappa Psi for commerce
students; Phi Delta Phi and Sigma
Delta Kappa for lawyers; Kappa Del
ta Pi for education students; Tau
Kappa Phi for engineers; and others
for chemistry students; physicists,
pre-meds, agriculture students, phar
macists.
They are all on the same plane,
Sigma Delta Chi being the best
known because of Its affiliation with
news media.

address delivered by M. B. Pound,
professor of history at the Univer

Stating that the activity of the
Institute of Public Affairs session at
the university indicated the growing
desire among the people of the state
for a new constitution, Professor
Pound stressed the need for govern

He declared that Georgia taxpay

the future of the state depended on

Hoxv We S|H*ncl Our Time
More than one merchant around
town is thankful that the students
have not more intellectual curiosity
and haunt the soft drink emporiums
and style shops more than they do
the library and class rooms.
A voluntary student assembly in
the chapel makes the cash registers
ring and the afternoon siestas en
rich the company coffera.
Library studying is often done in
u-drive-its and for that they are
thankful.
Yet we have a great student body.
! Some day they’ll be governors and
I congressmen and senators. Then
they’ll drink champagne instead of
dopes, ride in limousines instead of
u-drive-its, and entertain Washington
belles instead of co-eds. It all goes
to make a wonderful nation of keen,
energetic, ambitious citizens.
