A NOTHER "new deal” has
been dealt with the reor-
Knnlzation of the method
»f hantlllnR student activity
fu nds.
Nalurnlly the editors of The
Red nmi Black are elated that
one of their pet proposals has
met with favor on the part of
the administration to tho ex
tent that a complete change
Iihk been effected In student ac
tivities. These have been given
huok to ih« students to ho run
In a business like way, a way
worthy of college students In
a great university.
The present editors and their
predecessors hnvo wanted for a
long time to be able to accom
plish some change in the man
ner In which student affnlrR are
operated at the University.
We of the present were lucky
enough, so to speak, to get a
break whereby wo could build
n foundation on which to base
a reorganisation. And so. there
are several young Journalists
of these parts who will be happy
' hat at last a tyrannical and
cumbersome system has been
destroyed.
Rut more than being delight
ed and scintillated because of
the above, the editors are re
joicing as they think of the good
to he gained from activities
when they are operated as they
Khould be—the way they will
he rur In the future. No long
er will the heads of the several
organizations huve to he bur
dened with the necessity of un
winding endless rolls of red
tape That Is a thing of the
past now and that Is well and
good.
Kaeh organization partlrfpa-
'ng In these funds will be al- ,
lowed a definite amount st the
beginning of each quarter to be
spent by the club's representa
tive and faculty adviser who Is
intimately acquainted with the
organization's needs. Each func
tion Is to have a separate ad
viser so that they can get their
Problems settled without delay.
In the glory of the triumph,
however, the persons really re
sponsible for the reorganization !

T HE Ninth Annual Religious
Welfare Conference at the
University next Wednes
day brings as Its speaker one of
I ho me«t noted and beloved
heads of the Methodist church,
Rlshop Francis J. McConnell.
It seems fitting that the com
ing session should be opened by
this great Methodist church

brought Dr. George W. Truett.

the student*. The conference
respects church loyalties and
has brought to the University
some of tho most eminent lead

nominations of tho land.
Not only have ministers been

naptlst layman and wartime
socretary of war. havo dis
cussed the outstanding religious
questions of the day.
The force nnd Interests of
addresses by these national fig
ures have caused the attend
ance at each succeeding confer
ence to grow until last year
Woodruff hall was filled to ca
pacity. Even a larger crowd Is
expected this year for It appears
that student Interest Is even
higher thnn before, for after
nil those programs are for the
students first of all and for the
people of Athens nnd the state
second.
These remnrkahle attendance
records nro a sure sign that the
efforts by the religious bodies
on tho campus are bearing fruit
nnd that the parents of the stu
dent body nnd a great number
of other Georgians are begin
ning to realize that the Wel
fare conference Is one of the
stnto’s biggest religious events
of the year. Certainly the
broader outlook nnd the know
ledge gained by the students
will ropny tho students a
thousand times—If they will
only attend.
One of the grentest benefits
derived Is nlways the even
closer union made between the
student and his parents when
they gather to hear such emi
nent men of God. The truthful
ness nnd eurnestness of the
speakers combined with their
Intelligent, frank nnd open ad
dresses have done much to
avert skeptlenl and hard-bitten
attitudes whleh enn not he n

well-rounded man or woman.
On behalf of the University
administration and the student
body, we welcome to the enm-
pus the parents and citizens of
Georgia.
We say also that those whose
parents will not be able to at
tend should hear Rlshop Mc
Connell, too.

Senior Round table some time ago
declared that In the future they
would make themselves an integral
part of campus life. Just to give
them a break this writer heralded
their move to begin criticisms of
things about the University. So far
I have not seen any good come from
them and am now of the opinion that
it is Just another dead club which
accomplishes no good purpose.

The same about the non-effective
ness of the Junior cabinet. They
do not even attempt to do any thing
and so far as can he learned, they
never meet except for elections and
Initiations.

Along comes Blue Key council to
add at least one bright note. The
Indoor baseball league organized by
this body will fill a long needed gap.
Many students never get any exer
cise heenuse there have been no fa
cilities or means for such. Now
everybody who cares to may get to
gether a team and enter an Indoor
baseball league with definite sched

The Biftad club 1s trying desper
ately to get back, to be more than
a fish club. They are getting places
for visiting debaters and athletes to
stay while in Athens but Just the
same they are always getting the
well known cheer. Once a fish club,
always a fish club, it seems.

Politics are still being carried on
for the coming elections behind
closed doors. It’s about time for
candidates to step forward and say
something, that is, if they wish the

whole rather than just election, per
haps.

More cheer: The Voluntary Re
ligious associations are doing some
thing. Remember who is speaking
at the Welfare conference Wednes
day—Bishop Francis J. McConnell.
You will miss something if you are
not there.

Criticism heard on many sides,
that the literary societies are not
that today. This is unfair in that
worthy crowds attend each week and
they hear, at least, wholesome en

True to Tripe
By Tom Ham
Y ODELING our Swan-Ditty this
week, your scribe experiences
a keen tinge of remorse at re
linquishing this long cherished cor
ner of The Red and Black. Before
sinking into oblivion, however, we
would like to give due recognition
to some of our fellow maniacs who
have slipped us occasional brain-
quakes for use in our ravings. The
final corsage of orchids, then, is dis
tributed between Phil Fahrney (the
cell-mate), “Poopie” Oliver, Lock
jaw Thomas, and numerous anony
mous contributors whose stuff has
been run under their "nommes de
plume.’’ We have enjoyed annoy
ing you .... Farewell!

Just a slip in a iab: Last week
a college man told a girl friend dur
ing a lab period that he was going
to fire her. Turning to another girl
he said, “Do you have a pink slip?”
The pink slip being wanted for the
usual ten day notice. The girl
answered without blushing that she
did not remember whether her slip
was a pink one or a white one.

A little ballad commemorating
the famous Demosthenlan hall shoot
ing affair, figuring Campus Leader
David and little “Goliath” Baker:
Mood Shin-Dig-O
A bunch of the boys were whooping
it up
In Demosthenian hall.
And the kid that handies the roster
book
Was giving the roll a call.
Back of the bar with a nickel cigar
Sat Plato Disraeli Goodhart;
As he puffed away the smoke seem
ed to say
That trouble was fixin’ to start.
In a seat by the wall in that smoke
laden hall
Hunched “Goliath” Baker, the Great,
With a gleam in his eye and his col
lar awry
And a face the color of slate.
Then out of the night that was forty
below
And into the verbacious din
There stumbled (Tom) David, fresh
from the “speaks,”
Hiccoughing and loaded with gin!
There was nary a man knew the
stranger’s pan,
And at ftfst they thought him a
faker,
But his bleary eyes wandered ’round
the guys
And settled on Little Fat Baker!
He staggered right up to the ros
trum.
He reached for his gun as he passed.
“Goliath” Fat Baker was panicked
As he shrank to the wall, aghast!
Tom David r’ared, and his fangs he
bared!
The lights went out with a flash!
Two guns blazed holes in the dark
ness!
’ Goliath" went down with a crash!
Demosthenian hall has seen many a
brawl,
But the strangest in many a day
Was when Campus Leader Tom
Laid Little Fat Baker away!

S PRING puts mo into a lethargy
too deep to think up good
stories, so, in keeping with the
season, let’s revert to a little poetry:
I rue to Tripe's Ham asks me to
ihank Miss Beep for this one:
I envy her her taking ways,
The bland abstraction of her gaze'
I envy her her melodies
She hums in half a hundred keys
I envy her that light blonde hair
That gives young lovers to despair
As for her body’s shapeliness.
I envy that, I must confess.
But do I envy her her man?
Wen. let her hold him If she can.
Why should I envy her her fling’
My donh. I had him all last spring!
