TT Is not quite election time;
I It is rather trading time.
Ere electlona for the various
and sundry otflces about the
University campus are actually
held, the lieutenants of the
aspiring powers will button hole
men, many men, In quest of sup
port, single votes and whole
blocks of them, for their friends.
In a number of cases these
workers will promise this or
that for 'hat and this. In many
of these Instances the ones
making 'he deals will have no
authority whatsoever to do so.
It would then be wise for one
to consider long and well before
he swings to one man in prefei-
once to another because of the
most worthless form of ex-
chnnRo, a political promise.
Definite election to a partic
ular office and a certain Invita
tion to aome honorary organ
ization might be promised you
if you happen to be In the know
about somothlng. or even If you
are not. If you make the deal,
have you the assurance that
the promisor has the power to
live up to the agreement? Most
often he will have only one
vote, sometimes not even that.
Something !\lu»t lie Done
T HE Tliullan itlackfi lars Dra
matic club has become dis
gusted with the way their
part of the student activity funds
have been handled; so disgusted.
In fart, that they have refused
to deposit with Professor H. M.
Heckman nny additional funds
gained by them from the pro
duction of their plays.
It is refreshing that at least
one organization has had the
eouruge to rebel from a system
that Is atrocious to such a de
gree that one can not tell Just
hew terrible It rcully Is
Not only do the heads of the
numerous organisations on the
campus have to go through un
limited red tape before they can
curry on the least in Importance
of their activities but they do
not know where they ure and
what they have at any time In
other words, u university which
has us one of Its purpose's the
teaching of youth how to get
things done teaches this by hav
ing things done In a most cum
bersome manner.
The University provides a fac
ulty uudltor for student activity
funds; those In charge of the
clubs and publications under
thlr. auditor are forced to camp
on the door of Professor Heck
man whenever they desire a
requisition for the least Item.
If the faculty auditor happens
to be In a good mood when final
ly seen, they might get what
they want; otherwise, they
might be compelled to wait.
It Is a bit out of tune for
the University authorities to as
sume that seniors, for they are
the only ones having direct
charge of the student organiza
tions, have the brains of chil
dren, as the faculty auditor has
said they have. The heads of
all of these functions can and
should manage their cwn af
fairs with a limited faculty con
trol. They might as well learn
responsibility now. for In a short
while they will be out In the
world on their own. Does the
University mean to say that lts
seniors are not capable of effi
ciency In business affairs?
No one has objected to fac
ulty supervision; but many have
denounced the practice of allow
ing one man to dictate how each
activity should be operated and
on what amount of money.
Furthermore, it Is quite un-

they took the first steps towards

thinks It his privilege to charge
one of the student organiza

for each function, a definite sum
for each club or publication.
Give this money to the business
manager or treasurer and fac

to be controlled by them to the
best interests of the function.
At the end of each quarter, have
each organization's books audit
ed by someone not connected
with them ‘ Of course, this plan
would have to he developed In

Student Opinions
■^V>R a number of years past there
has seemed to be a general lack
of Interest in things cultuis 1
on the pari of sludentc of the Uni
versity of Georgia. We feel that
this state of cultural stagnation is
being detrimental to all of us and
that there Is a very present need for
a rebirth of interest in these per
haps less practical but m6re pleas
urable phases of development.
The attendance of Btudents at
music appreciation classes nas been
very good and Is indicative of the
fact that there is an element here
who would welcome further oppor
tunities for development along cul
tural lines. However, it seems that
in the maze of student activities,
most of us have lost sight of ore of
the primary objects in attending a
university—that of absorbing a cer
tain amount of culture.
We must all admit that there is
a woeful lack of enthusiasm shown
on our part where music, art and
literature are concerned. There Is
little that any one group can do to
help—It must come solely through
Individual effort. If we really care
to become persons of culture, there
are several things that can help. We
should support, good theatrical per
formances. should develop our ap
preciation of art in sculpture and
painting, should spend more time in
reading worthwhile prose and poetry,
should show more interest in music
by our attendance at recitals and
operas and should cultivate the art
of Intelligent conversation.
If we can accomplish these aims
our life at the University will be a
richer and fuller experience.

on a young psychologist-journalist
who was taking a free association

subject Is supposed to rei jnd to

The word "beautiful" was given
by the experimenter. The subject
began a surveillance of the room. In

and brunette fell under his eye, but
still no response. Finally, coming
to the window of the room, he blurt
ed forth, “trees!”

Announcing the big Song Title
Contest! The thing you’ve been
looking for! One picture a week,
and all you have to do Is write down
the title of a popular song suggested
by the picture, seal them In an en

et, and forget about It. For ex
ample:
The title of the song suggested by
this picture is very obviously “When
Father's Floating Rib Washed Up
On Shore.” Even we knew that.
The first of the series will appear
next week.
