An artlclo on the editorial
page of Thu Hod and Hlnck taut
week concerning tho money
made on tho 1'an-Hellenlc Home-
coming dancoa seems to have
caused quite n bit of dissatis-
fnction on tho purt of certain
members of the council. It waa
not the purpose of this article
to agitato anyone.
To bo personal was not the
desire of tho person who wrote
that article. It Is a shame that
such a reflection should have
to be cast upon a man who is
the type we have as president
of the I'an-Ilellenic council.
Wherever in that article that
personal feelings were touched
the wrong Idea was implied,
and It is with regrets that any
thing personal was said. Aside
from that, every other word
was well put and gone but not
forgotten.
A financial statement of the
dances will be found In this
issue of the paper—something
that has not been published in
The Red and Black within the
last ten years.
And now after the statement
it is quite evident that the prices
charged for these dances were
too high. A shame it is tor
such a prominent institution to
make outlandish sums off of Its
students, most of whom are sac
rificing former pleasures in or
der that they might gain an
education from their own state
university.
We, the students, are fast be
coming the victims of profiteers
We Take Our Stunt!
Much criticism has been lev
elled at Tho Red and Black dur
ing the past week by students
and members of the faculty.
Some of it has been favorable,
some of it unfavorable.
The Red and Black has been
called a scandal sheet. It has
been praised for throwing a
light on the real conditions on
the campus. The editor and
managing editor have been
complimented for having the
courage to print highly debat
able matter. They have been
called dumbbells and still harsh
er things. All of which is
worthy of debate.
It is the policy of The Red
and Black to publish what it
believes to be constructive. The
University of Georgia is our
alma mater as well as yours.
We are proud of it and ure striv
ing to make it better in what
ever small measure we can.
The Red and Black has not and
will not publish anything mere
ly for tho sake of sensation.
Mere sensation Is neither our
purpose nor our desire.
Plense remember that Tho
Red nnd Black Is u student
newspaper. It Is published by
students, of students, and for
students. It Is not Intended ns
a medium of news or thought
for the faculty. Editorials and
features in it are written from
the student viewpoint, by stu
dents and for students. Unim
peachable logic that will appeal
to intellectual faculty members
possibly cannot be found In the
pages of The Red and Blnck.
The Red nnd Black does not
appreciate the attitude taken
by some of our elders. We are
Just "little boys to be spanked
and sent to bed." We disa
gree. We are sons of Georgia
cltIrens. We will some day be
citizens of Georgia nnd pay
taxes to support the University
of Georgia, as our fathers have
done before us.
"With malice towards none,
with charity for all,” The Red
nnd Blnck will strive to better
tho university in every way that
it can. Perhnps our part will
he small but we will have the
pleasure of having contributed
something at least
when we are asked, and often
the fraternity men are forced,
to pay such high prices for
dances. Even though some of
the profit does go to student
activities, it Is a blemish on the
record of the university to
make outlandish sums from the
students in this unpolished
manner.
After paying these exorbi
tant prices for the dances, we
cannot consider them our own
When we want to let the dances
In the spring be known as Lit
tle Commencement, there is a
hoard of unreasonable men to
refuse us with an emphatic
NO! And it is by this naive
group that they are stamped
Spring Dances, a name that will
require decade after decade to
become half as prominent as the
| former Little Commencement.
What is to be done? Are
we to continue to be the vic
tims of these unreasonable
profiteers? Who has a sug
gestion? The letter box Is open

The world of magazines and pub-1 justices on both sides—he is caught
lishing houses is constantly chang- between two sets of hostile forces,
ing and fluctuating. Recently the Women on both sides claim him,
young but flourishing firm of Farrar! and the conflicting loyalties and af-

erful Cosmopolitan Hook Corpora

wholly owned by William Randolph

enlarged his book corporation to in-

Another book which has Just been
issued by the publishing house of
Ray Long and Richard R. Smith is
"Here They Are: Amos ’n’ Andy,”
elude such expensive and popular written by Correll and Gosden them-
authors as Louis Bromfleld, Erich selves. This is a collection of the
Maria Remarque, Anita Loos, Fan
nie Hurst, Vicki Baum, and Rex
Beach, as well as such old Hearst
standbys as Peter B. Kyne and the
late Janies Oliver Curwood.
Farrar and Rinehart has been
among the most successful of all
tho new publishing houses, and even
before it acquired the Cosmopolitan
Book Corporation, its lists contained
such prominent and well-known
names as Katherine Brush, Upton
Sinclair, Walter De La Mare, and
Du Bose Heyward. By taking over
Cosmopolitan's contracts, Farrar and
Rinehart stepped overnight from
the second rank to the very first.

This brings to mind another re
cent change in the publishing world.
Ray Long, editor of the Cosmopol
itan Magazine, has formed a new
publishing house with Richard R.
Smith. The first novel to be issued
under the imprint of this publishing
| house Is "The Cabin in the Cotton,"
by Harry Harrison Kroll. It is
another novel with a Southern cot-
i ton plantation (this time in Mis
sissippi) for a background.
In spite of the background, or
perhaps because of it, the story of
torn and divided loyalties turns out
Leroy’s Letters
best dialogues which they have pre^
sented during their national popu
larity over the radio.
This book will be avidly welcomed,
no doubt, by all those radio fans
who are willing to assassinate even
the most unsuspecting little fly that
dares to buzz between 7 o'clock and
7:15. But since the book is neces
sarily deprived of the personalities
of the real Amos and Andy, it will
probably seem Just a little “flat" to
most of their radio fans.

Among the current attractions at
the Palace for next week is “Sob
Sisters,” which will be presented
Wednesday. In this picture James
Dunn follows up his fine perform
ance in "Bad Girl.” He is assisted
by Linda Watkins, a recruit from
the Manhattan stage. This is an
other newspaper story, but the em
phasis is on the characters rather
than the paper. But the profes
sional jealousy of the two reporters
—boy and girl—is constantly inter
fering with their love affair. The
final shot is typical: Linda Watkins
excuses herself from the table at
which she is lunching with James
Dunn in order to telephone an in
credibly ellipltical summary of her
adventures to the re-write man

A Bit of Irony
Ity Gulliver Swift
Athens, Ga.
Dear Dad and Mother:
Every one is very excited and are
betting each other that Georgia will
win a football game from New York
university on Saturday, in New York.
A football game is just about all
that the people here do get excited
about. They do not worry a great
deal about anything else.
There are lots of the boys who
have gone to the game. They went
in old Fords and things and I be
lieve that they will get very cold
before they get back. They do not
seem to mind the cold at all though.
There are some who went on the
train with the team but the con
ductor on the train did not know it.
When he would come through to
take up the tickets they would crawl
under one of the seats and stay there
until he had passed. I do not think
that is very honest but it is prob
ably lots of fun.
There is a team that our team
plays the Saturday after they get
back from New York. It is Tulane,
which is a school at New Orleans,
and In the newspapers they fuss all
of the time about not getting na
tional recognition like Georgia does.
When somebody mentions Tulane in
a crowd here, somebody puts out his
tongue and makes a sputtering
noise with his lips. This is called
the Bronx cheer, and it means that
the person who makes the noise does
not think a great deal of Tulane.
There is a new club here which
is called the X club. It does not
seem to do a lot of work but it gets
to wear white sweaters with a G on
them, and gets to send a couple of
its members to all of the football
games out of town. I think I would
like to belong to this club because I
would like to have a white sweater
with a G on it, and I would enjoy
going to football games.
There are a lot more clubs here
on the campus, but I do not know
what some of them are for. I think
that the members of some of them
do not know what they are for,
either. It seems to me that there
are enough clubs here for every
body to belong to at least one. And
when there are four or five men
who do not belong to anything im
portant, they organize them one of
It is called the Georgia Coopera
tive Association. Evidently it was
given its name in a spirit of irony.
Hated by some, derided by oth
ers, the co-op plods its weary way
through the daily life of the univer
sity campus and somehow manages
to make money. Students make
wise cracks at the co-op's expense.
Some yell “robber!" with voices full
of grievance.
Last year the co-op moved into
new accommodations on the first
floor of New College, that hoary
building which has looked upon the
great-great-grandsons of the men
| who first trod its hallowed halls.
The military department, long the
sole occupant of the first floor,
moved into a new building down
near Woodruff hall. More con
venient the new location, co-op of
ficials said. But think of the poor
soldier boys who have to walk up
. and down that high hill to the mil
itary building four times a week.
There was something strange
about that deal in which the co-op
and military department moved. A
non-profit organization is the proud
claim of the co-op, some say, al
though I've never heard it voiced
myself. And yet the co-op paid for
a new ten thousand-dollar military
building and expended a sizeable
sum on its own new quarters. Well,
as someone said, we can at least
point to the new military building
and say that our money built it.
Inefficiency and lack of accomo-
dativeness are two big Indictments
of the co-op, from a student view
point. How often have you stood
for twenty minutes in the co-op try
ing to get waited upon, while some
professor or other marked an ab
sence against your name? I have
and so have you. It’s not that the
student help are inefficient. The big
reason is that there’s not enough of
them.
Have you ever tried to get a par
allel at the co-op? Then you know
how it Is. Sometimes the co-op has
them. It really has all the English
1 and 2 parallels. But try and get
one for another class. Just try and
get 'em! Co-op officials report that
there's too much danger of losing
(Continued on page 5)
their own.
I have not joined any clubs yet,
but there has not any one asked me
to. I would like to join one so I
could wear a badge on my vest like
lots of the others do. You know
the pin I got for declamation in high
school. I wore it for a while, but it
did not look mysterious enough, for
you could read on it what it was
for, so I took it off.
I guess I am a regular college man
now, for I do not recognize any of
the clothes that I get back in my
laundry. My room mate said that
you were not a college man until
your washwoman had sent you back
a lot of somebody else's clothes and
had mlsmated all of your socks.
Some of the shirts that I got back
last week had men’s names on them
that I did not even know, and they
would not fit, either.
I must close now, for my wash
woman is down stairs hollering that
she wants her dollar, for she has
got to buy her some shoes.
Love,
LEROY.
