The War department installed the
excellent rating four years ago and
the University unit has received this
rating all four years, according to
Major Colley.
All military students are urged to
have their uniforms cleaned and
pressed before Tuesday preceding the
inspection.
“I hope all tne military students
will work hard to uphold our fine

uniforms. We don’t want to have
to take it off.”

exemption of seniors from final ex
aminations.
A meeting to make effective the
powers given them by the last ses
sion of the General Assembly will
be held by the board of regents in
Atlanta Friday and Saturday.
Many drastic changes in the Uni
versity system are to be made at
the meeting, a representative of The
Red and Black learned Wednesday
afternoon. Among these will be:
AntIcipatfd Changes Listed
1. The abolishment of all schools
in the system doing only high school
work. This applies specifically to
all Agricultural and Mechanical
schools in the congressional districts
of tho state.
2. The elimination of all high
school courses in the state junior
colleges making them actually junior
colleges.
3. The reduction of certain senior
colleges to junior colleges or the
abolishment of any of these and
merging their work with other insti
tutions.
Athens Consolidation
4. A further reorganization of
the three branches of the University
system in Athens. These will be
made to actually work as one with
only one faculty.
Tho last General Assembly legis
lated powers to the board of regents
which allowed them to revamp the
entire system of higher education in
Georgia, giving to them in a lump
sum the entire appropriation for all
of the schools to be allocated to
them at the discretion of the regents.
The total appropriation was $1,500,-
000.
It is understood that the purpose
of giving the regents these broad
powers was to add to the efficiency
of the University system and to make
it of greater service to the state at
a reasonable cost. It was pointed
out tliut if the twenty odd units of
the system are retained thut no pro
gress can be made and that the cost
of supporting these would be tre-
mendous.
Schools To He Abolished
All A. and M. schools will probably
be abolished. Several of tho schools
will be effected by the discontinua
tion of high school work in the
junior colleges and it is certain that
some of the senior colleges will have

tend West Point as the first appointee
(Continued on page 5)

was born at St. Augustine, Fla., in
1827.

Point he entered the United States
army, attaining the rank of briga

died in 1895.
An original poem for the occasion|

thor of "John Brown’s Body,” a|

of the outstanding poets America has j
produced.

stock and exhibits of various plant
crops of the college farm will be

animal husbandry.
This is an annual show and at-1
tracts visitors from all over the state.
Over 1,000 are expected to attend;

charge of arrangements.
“In order to understand the policy
of Adolph Hitler, we must acquaint
ourselves with economic and political
conditions in Germany, and the
problems with which he is having
to cope,” declared Prof. J. T. Askew,
instructor of history, in a talk on
Hitlerian! before the Y. M. C. A.
Tuesday night.
He stated that the National Social
ist party, of which Hitler is the head,
is "the most conglomerated group
of people in the world.” "It is com
posed,” he said, “of about 100,000
college and university graduates who
have been unable to find work—
white collar clerks who lost their
jobs in the German panic, capital
ists, and big business men, monarch
ists, junkers, little capitalists and
merchants, and many former German
army officers.”
He likened Hitler's war career
with that of Mussolini’s, stating that
both bad held insignificant commis
sions, if any, in their respective
armies. “After the war he returned
to Germany and could not settle
down. He became a political agita
tor and began the formation of his
Nationalist-Socialist, or Nazi, party.”
"He started a riot against the gov
ernment in 1923 and in doing so be
came a national figure. He was sent
to prison for a year and after his
return again assumed the leadership
of his party.”
Hiller's platform and program
consists of five major principles,
among which is the expulsion of all
non-Germans from Germany,” the
speaker said. It is in carrying out
this principle that his lieutenants
