More About Next Year
S INCK tho appearance of the
editorial In last week’s Is
sue on “For Next Year,"
the editors liavo hud several
comments made to them on the
situation, most of them fuvor-
nMe hut some adverse.
I * 1 or instance, we are request
ed to please state why Tho Red
and Illuek proposed that fresh
men live either in a dormitory
or a fraternity house when not
so many weoks ago It was
waging a spirited campaign for
no pledging of first year men
until the beginning of the sec
ond quarter. In other words,
why should this puper now be
proposing that these men be
allowed to live In chapter
houses without even mentioning
the other question? Simply be
cause tho Pan-Hellenic council
will do nothing about the de
layed pledging plan; It seems
tliut tho members of that body
will not even discuss the plan
lr an official meeting because
of selfish reasons. The frater
nities claim that they would
suffer financially by It and so
they want to get the freshmen
before they know who they are
getting and before the fresh
men know which fraternity is
which.
Some of the others comment
ing think It n bit unfair to the
upperclussmen for them to be
allowed only one hall, namely,
Old College. These men need
economical lodgings, is their ar
gument. Our answer Is that It
would be fHr better to have the
freshmen well disciplined and
started well on tho way to suc
cess In college than It would
be to accommodate men who
have already experienced the
most Important orientation of
their days on the campus. Be
sides. there would be few soph
omores, juniors, and seniors
who really desired to live on the
campus who could not get
rooms. Tho freshmen will not
completely fill Brown, Candler
and New College halls.
There are some who believe,
and honestly we suppose, that
the Denmark Dining hall would
benefit tremendously from the
plan If that part goes through
whereby all persons rooming
on the campus would be re
quired to eat there. True this
Is, but true also is the fact that
the patrons of the dining hall
would benefit also. The Red
and Black does not give a tink
er’s dam whether the beanery
itnelf is filled to overflowing or
whether it closes down. We
are Interested merely ip service
for the students.
The Red and Black still de
clares that the plan will work
and work to the distinct ad
vantage of the freshmen.
Flay Hull!
f | VIK cool, bracing air and
B the bright sunshiny after
noons that have been the
lot of Athena during these last
few days usher Into the minds
of students thoughts of Amer
ica’s national pastime—baseball.
Already baseball activities have
begun at the University; some
thirty-odd young men reported
to Coach Bill White Wednesday
afternoon for the opening prac
tice.
Soon students will begin
strolling down to Sanford field
to sit in tho grandstand during
warm afternoons and watch nil]
White’s boys prepare for their
1933 baseball season. Soon,
too, young men around dormi
tories and fraternity houses will
dig out of their trunks ragged
gloves and mitts and baseballs
somewhat tho worse for several
years of constant use. Games of
catch will begin then for the
young men who cannot make
the varsity baseball squad but
who still cherish their innate
love of the game they used to
play on sandlots when not so
old as now.
Baseball began many years
ago, before even tho parents of
tho present collego generation
wore born. There are some to
day who persist In saying that
baseball Is dying out as a na
tional pastime. Yet they are
far from right, for baseball con
tinues to bo the most popular
game with the youth of Amer
ica. Golf, basketball, football,
and track draw their thousands,
hut hnsebal! has the universal
hold on the hearts of American
youth, as well as on the hearts
of the older generation. Golf
Is still a restricted game. Bas
ketball and football require a
maximum of skill, even though
they are immensely popular with
American youth as games in
which to participate. But base
ball is a game for all.
Stroll, some spring afternoon
along the streets of an Ameri
can city and see boys and older
youth playing baseball on the
vacant lots; or go to the small
country town and watch the
largo groups of boys and men.
young and old. who play base
ball on spring and summer af
ternoons.
Here at Georgia baseball is
especially popular. A great ma
jority of students watch the
baseball games here during the
spring. The stands are packed
when the Bulldogs battle Geor
gia Tech or Auburn, Alabama or
Oglethorpe. A great part of
the popularity is due to the uni
versal love of baseball. Yet
much of baseball's popularity at
Georgia must be attributed to
Coach Bill White, who Is be
ginning his thirteenth season
as coach of baseball at Georgia.
Since Coach White came to
Georgia thirteen years ago the
Bulldogs have had uniform suc
cess. Their splendid records
against some of the best col
legiate teams In the South and
tn the nation may be attributed
to his ability as a coach and the
confidence hts players have In
him. Many Georgia players
have been successful In profes
sional baseball; much of that
success they attribute to Bill
White. So. In beginning his
thirteenth season. The Red and
Black wishes to congratulate
Bill White for hts past record
and wish him many more suc
cessful yesrs as coach of base
ball at Georgia.

Student Opinions
T O the Editor: For quite a long
time, members of the Senior
Round Table have heard criti
cisms and complaints concerning the
Georgia Co-op. The purpose of this
letter is to give the facts about the
Co-op; how it is run and thus to set
at rest the minds of the students
who think they don't get what they
pay for to a full extent.
There are two kinds of co-oper
ative book stores. One sells the
hooks and supplies at exactly the
same price as the stores elsewhere
charge and at the end of the year,
after paying the salaries of the at
tendants and other minor expenses,
After listening to the address last
week by Dr. Robert M. Hutchins and
noticing in the editorial columns of
a number of the college publications,
received by this paper from all over
the country, condemnations of the
present system of education in the
United States, the writer is delight
ed to find persons with whom he can
agree that the modern campus is
certainly not a Utopia. Rather, it is
far from It.
The numerical system of grading
is perhaps the biggest farce in pres
ent day education. Four out of five
students on every campus shun In
tellectual roughage in quest of rich
grades and suffer In varying degrees
accordingly; perhaps the disease is
mental pyorrhea.
pays back to the students 5 or 10
per cent of whatever the profits
allow.
The other type of co-op is the one
used here at the University. Half
of the profit that is made In most
places, is deducted on the sales price
so that supplies in the Co-op sell for
less than the same articles would in
regular stores.
The Co-op here is affording 12
students an opportunity to pay their
expenses through school by working
hard, keeping long hours at work,
studying, and going to classes In off
hours.
There is also some criticism that
each student pays $1 to the Co-op a
year from his registration fees. This
fee goes to help defray the loss due
to hooks left over in the Co-op at
the end of eevry term. The profes
sors change editions also which
makes the Co-op suffer losses from
left-over books. The loss Is made
up from the $1 assessment from
every student.
Tho Co-op is a real service to the
students and doesn't make a large
profit each year—just enough to or
der a new stock of books for the I
next year.
(Signed) SENIOR ROUND TABLE.
Wo come to college for an educa
tion and to learn how to live but
after we have been hero a while we
discover that this is not what we
must seek. We come to the belief
that a majority of the professors do
not desire to educate us but to mere
ly insist that we attain certain
grades.
Certainly, then, It would be better
to Install a new and much more
modern system of grading. Why not
let this be a simple pass, merit or
failure method? This Is fairer and
this is a step In the direction that
should be taken by those who con
trol our institutions of higher learn
ing.
It can not be forgotten that the
worn out numerical system, letter in
some Institutions, does not indicate
whether one is a good scholar or a
poor one. It depends entirely too
heavily on such things as personal
relationship between the student and
the Instructor, interpretation of
questions and answers, by the stu
dent and the Instructor, health at
the time of an examination and mis
fortunes, perhaps good luck, what
ever luck Is.
Pass, merit, failure—this is the

T HOROUGHLY squelched were
some of the brothers at the S.

supper Brother Lokey bragged that
he could skate around the loop in

that he’d like to lay a bet that he
couldn’t. The bet was arranged,
with several of the brothers joining

very hard. But Napier was adamant.
A short time later Lokey was Indus
