Who Do You Want?
A S heralded In (ho pnpnr of
last week, n reorganiza
tion of th: method of
handling student activity funds
has boon effected. Under the
new system, each organization
or publication will have a fnc-
nlt.v adviser who will assist In
the disbursement of the money
of the organization. These men
are to he Intimately acquainted
with the function with which
he Is connected. The problem
now is to get the right man or
woman In each position.
President Sanford will no
ilotibt seek to have advisers who
will be found acceptable to the
heads of the various organiza
tions over which they are to
have partial control. This Is
true. It appears, since President
Sanford has done so well by the
wishes by the leaders of those
organizations In handing them
control of Iflelr funds on definite
budgets. This was a gneat * *
change In favor of activities but
all that was expounded lost
week.
If the Pandora or the Pan-
Hellenic council heads have
men In mind who will be their
best advisers, then these men
should be brought to the at
tention of the president. The
•same goes for all the other
functions—Ag club. Pioneer
club, nnd all the rest. It would
probably be unwise for the rep
resentatives of these functions
to attempt to see President
Sanford In person Just at this
time for he Is extremely busy
with matters that he must pre
sent to the hoard of regents
next week. The president Is
always delighted to have stu
dents come by to see him: Just
now, however, a letter would be
Just as effective.
This letter should be mailed
Immediately, for in a few days
these advisers are to be select
ed. Remember, you want a
good man. otherwise things
might not Improve as far as
activity efficiency Is concerned.

McConnell Advises College Graduates
Ity Morgan Good hart
T HE Bishop was quite different
from what our preconceived no
tion Imagined a bishop would
be like. In fact, he was far from
It. We had rather Imagined that
iso effolnent a dignitary would be
somewhat taller than the average
man, very dark hair, distinguished
looking, and rather condescending to
we ordinary mortals. But how far
from the Imaginary was the reality!
Instead of being tall, he was rather
shorter than the average; in lieu
of a sheaf of coal black hair, it was
something near the color of sand, and
there was precious little left of It;
he looked more like a human than
the starchy, black-frocked church
man, that we had anticipated, and
more than condescending; he was
downright friendly.
An interview with the famous di
vine was accorded us right after the
Open Forum that was held Wednes
day afternoon. Without a doubt the
man was "dog tired,” and obviously
wanted to get some much needed
rest before the evening address. But
with the utmost graclousnesg he In
vited us to sit down and stated that
though he was almost exhausted,
that if there was anything we want
ed he should be more than delight
ed to help us In any way.
A little memorandum of the ques
tions that we Intended to ask him
had been prepared long before and
we knew them “by heart” and did
not have to refer to the little paper
at all.
So after his very kindly reception
we felt more at ease, and proceeded:
“Bishop, what would you advise
the colloge graduate of this year to
do?” His lips tightened just a trifle;
evidently he had feared just such a
question.
“That is one of the most perplex
ing questions of the youth of today,”
he said, "and if it were at all possi
ble, I should most surely advise him i
to return to college for advanced
work; such additional preparation
will be of inestimable value to him
in the very near future.”
Having gotten so frank an expres
sion we ventured on to the next,
“Bo you have faith in the present
day college Btudent? Is he any bet
ter or worse than those of a genera
tion ago?”
Without the slightest hesitation
he replied, “I have the utmost of
faith in them; they are far better
than they were in my day. Each
year sees the dawn of a better group.
And when you consider who the
fathers and mothers of the present
group were, I think they have done
remarkable.”
Indeed that made us feel right
good, and so went on, “What will
the university of the future be like?”
"The university of the future,”
he declared, “will be a highly selec
tive institution; its students will be
the select of the great mass; the
false premise of quantity will soon
give way before the qualitative meas
ures of the very near future.”
We resolved to try Just one more.
"What, Bishop, are we to do about
the student who comes here with
high ideals, but who gets in with
the wrong set?” Obviously he was
at a loss, but the situation was re
lieved when a group of students com
ing up to talk with the renowned
divine, interrupted our interview.
• The Campus Parade
By Mark Antony
T HERE is a lot in the daily
press these days about this
year being the deciding
point for baseball, as far as the
professional game Is concerned,
In the United States. Bringing
the subject nearer home and
the time a bit closer, If this
week was a deciding point as to
whether Indoor baseball will be
a go at the University, the
answer is emphatically yes.
All week fraternity, dormi
tory, and faculty teams have
been vlelng with each other on
the several diamonds about
the campus playing baseball but
also doing themselves untold
good while having great fun.
Faculty men's llmbR are not sup
posed to bo so nimble as those
of the younger students yet they
have organized what appears to
he n winning team. This, we
have gathered, Is a most coveted
thing In nny kind of hall league.
Fraternities and dormitories
which have harmless little dif
ferences between them are lick
ing each other nnd taking their
lickings like the red blooded
sportsmen that they are.
All this Is the outcome of
much work by the Blue Key
council, national honorary ser
vice fraternity. Vlrlyn Moore,
.Toe Sehrlehor, and Tom David
acted on the committee from
the Blue Key to bring about
this addition to University life.
They deserve a big hand, par
ticularly the first two. This
Committee worked to out-do
each other In the accomplish
ment of the task of giving the
student body adequate exercise.
In the past many moves have
been taken to perfect some form
of Intra-mural sports. Up until
now none of these has been
successful. For too long stu
dents hnve been denied much
needed roorontlon tn the dnlly
whirl of college life; people
never develop Into well round
ed Individuals unless they are
hearty physlenlly and college
students are specially prone to
neglect proper physical activ
ity.
As things have been worked
out now, no one Is compelled to
sit in his room because there Is
no provision for exercise since
they do not desire to participate
in Intercollegiate competition
or nro not good enough to do
so. Everybody can play Indoor
baseball.
Congratulations are In order.
Scholastic averages at the
University of Georgia show a

completed by the National Inter-
fraternity conference.
you, communicate your prefer
ence for your faculty adviser to
The Red and Bluck. This paper
will be allowed a representative
at the meeting In which these
men are selected, we have been
Informed. And If we can be of
service on this score, then that
will be a pleasure.
It all comes down to this. In
a few instances the advisers
have been virtually picked. For
Instance, Prof. Edward C.
Crouse will have charge of
the Thaltan-Blackfrlars Dra
matic club and Prof. George G.
Connelly will handle with the
students the funds of the Detnos-
thenian Literary society, Phi
Kappa Literary society, and the
Debating council. In other
cases, however, no selections
have been made. The time to
get men who will work to the
best Interests of the group to
which you are most attached is
now for after a short while It
will be too late.
To repeat, after a short while
It will be too late.
M ARK mourns with the rest of
the school In the loss of True
to Tripe's Tom Ham to the
columns of The Red and Black. The
old tripewrlter did not return to
his scholastic pursuits at the Uni
versity this quarter; hence the ab
sence of his column.
From Jelly Edge, one of Ham’s
faithful contributors, we have the
following;
When The Red and Black’s last col
umn is printed, and the paper
Is brown and faded;
When the oldest contributor has
faintea, and the youngest Is
tired and Jaded;
When the spring quarter’s last day
Is ended, nnd our marks are
Ks and 00s—damn!
We shall rest, and faith we shall
need it, after the ravings of one
—Tom Ham.
And those that are gone shall be
happy; they shall swim in a
cool, dark pond.
They shall relax for the Joy of re
laxing, with no thought of that
frivolous blonde.
And those that are here shall be
weary; they shall study from
nightfall until dawn.
They shall know by The Red and
Rlnrk's punk humor that Tom
Ham, the tripewrlter, Is gone.
When the spring quarter Is well un
derway, and the days are hot
und long;
When The Red and Black gets
smaller and smaller, and some
thing is seriously wrong;
When the editor gets weaker and
weaker, to all the trouble will
he clear.
We shall know, and faith we shall
miss it,—the True to Tripe col
umn ain’t there.

The laugh: nary a pledge showed up

A NDREW Jackson: The Border
Captain,” by Marquis James.
Illustrated. 461 pages. Bobbs-
Merrill company, Indianapolis, 1933.
$3.76.
The story of a man of action. The
romantic characterization of one of
the most picturesque persons in
American history.
James gives the most complete
treatment of the early life of this
man of the frontier, that has yet
been attempted. The biography
takes the life of “Old Hickory” only
to that time, about 1821, when he
first became seriously considered for
the presidency, leaving, as It does,
the hint that it may have a sequel.
It is one of the most scholarly
works that has ever appeared on the
life of the stalwart man of the bor
der country. James has done some
extensive research work that has
taken him on several extended visits
to the Carolinas, Tennessee, and Ken
tucky. A complete list of all refer
ences, emDracing many letters and
private Jacksonian documents never
before available to biographers of
that famous man appear at the back
of the book.
James will be remembered as the
author of the much heralded biog
raphy of Sam Houston, “The Raven,”
which appeared in 1930, and was
awarded the Pulitzer prize as the
foremost American biography of that
year.
Action is the keynote of the book,
taking the orphaned boy through
the trials of the Revolution, his early
school days, and finally those spent
in a North Carolina law school where
he was described as the "most roar
ing, rollicking, game-cocking, horse
racing, card-playing, mischievous fel
low that ever lived in Salisbury.”
Throughout the entire life of
Jackson there is a keen note struck
that can not fail to inspire the read
er to admiration for this uncultured
son of the frontier; the highest and
noblest of all being the unquestion
able honesty and the high sepse
of honor that governed the every
act of this rugged exponent of real
democracy. Here was a man, filled
with courage, animated with the
knowledge of his own true worth,
and a will to do the things he set
out to achieve.
James’ book is the unanimous
choice of the Literary Guild for the
month of April. It highly merits
the attention of discriminating read
er, and especially the student of his
tory.
“Hazard of the Hills,” by Charles
Neville Buck. 315 pages. The
Macaulay company, New York, 1932.
$2.00.
A blood and thunder story of
Kentucky mountain feuds poorly
told. Almost the same as the
thousands that have preceded it, ex
cept that big city racketeers and pol
iticians are included for a little spice.
It seems blasO now to just tell of
“barking rifles” and “blood stained
men," so Buck had that clever idea
of bringing the city to the moun
tains, with what a result! Old time
feudists are "taken for rides,” "put
on the spot,” in fact, taught how to
do big things in a big way. Buck
must be a clever man, according to
Buck.
“A Time to Sow,” by Evans Wall.
320 pages. The Macaulay company.
New York, 1932. $2.00.
Another addition to the already
too fuTl shelf of sex novels. The
story of a city woman who marries
a very passionate young farmer,
shrinking before his physical direct
ness at first she soon cRanges her
mind, and has a "sexual awaken
ing,” and learns what love can really
mean.
“Nature has come to its time to
sow.” she discovers: her husband Is
no longer the brute that she first
believed him. It is a very frank
and peculiarly written novel. Inti
mate descriptions, supposedly very
accurate, are in no way shunned.
