tion meeting.

day during the meeting. Dr. S. V.
Sanford, president of the University,
has been invited to attend the open
ing meeting of the conference and
extend a word of greeting to the
delegates.
This is the eighth annual student

of the conference was first promoted
at the University and the first con
ference was held in 1925.

R. Weems, Georgia Tech, president;
Douschka Sweets, Agnes Scott, vice-

secretary, and James B. Pert, Uni
versity of Georgia, treasurer.
“It is through the generosity and
kindness of Dr. Andrew M. Soule,
president of the College of Agricul
ture, that Camp Wilkins is available
to us,” Mr. E. L. Secrest, University
‘Y‘ secretary, said.
Fraternity Group Included
One of the important groups of
this conference is the fraternity
group under the leadership of Dean
Floyd Field, of Georgia Tech, accord
ing to Mr. Secrest. Problems to be
discussed in this group are pledge
training, character building activ
ities, fraternity cooperation, and
other points concerning fraternities
and university life.
“Fraternities are an integral part
of the campus life,” Dean Field said,
“and your fraternity should have a
representative at the conference.
The Rev. McNeill Poteat, whom all
college students enjoy because of his
understanding of their problems,
should attract all fraternity men."
Invitation Sent Over State
Invitations have been issued to
members in all fraternities over the
state as well as sororities.
Among other leaders who will be
present and who are scheduled to
speak are: Dr. W. A. Smart, of the
Candler School of Theology, Emory
university, and Mr. Claude Nelson,
state secretary of the Y. M. C. A.

Two New Colleges Created as
Substitutes for Schools
Done Away With
Acting to effect economics expect
ed to reach $400,000 annually, the
board of regents Saturday abolished
nine units of the University system
and moved to create new ones to take
the place of the nine which were
done away with.
Among the many drastic changes
which affect the system as a whole
are:
The discontinuance of the College
of Medicine at Augusta; the merg
ing of the School of Commerce at
the Georgia School of Technology
with the School of Commerce at the
University; the abolition of the Geor
gia Industrial college, the Bowden
State Normal and Industrial college,
the Fourth District A. and M. school,
the Ninth District A. and M. school,
the Eighth District A. and M. school,
the Georgia Vocational and Trades
school, the Seventh District A. and
M. school, and the Georgia State Col
lege for Men.
Chancellor Charles M. Snelling, for
44 years connected with the Univer
sity in various positions, voluntarily
retired and was appointed on a com
mittee to select his successor. It
was learned after the meeting that
no chancellor will be named.
The action with regard to the Col
lege of Medicine has caused much
agitation. Citizens of Augusta have
planned three methods lntendod to
restore the college: one, by asking
for increased funds for the system;
two, by an effort to have the board
of regents reconsider, and three, to
have the college reinstate as separate
unit, independent of the University
system.
The commerce students at Georgia
Tech are demanding that their School
of Commerce bo maintained. The
alumni of the institution are reported
to be considering court action to pre
vent the merger of the school with
that at the University on the grounds
that the boaro of regents is illegally
constituted. Mr. Hughes Spalding,
chairman of the regents, has declared
that the board is legal.
In regard to the Tech student pro
test, Mr. Spalding said in part:
“I don’t blame the boys and I
hope that they will have a good time.
I have no personal resentment for
their attitude toward the board as
expressed in the mass meeting.”
A new West Georgia Teacher's col
lege was awarded to Carrollton after
the board heard arguments from
committees representing Powder
Springs, Carrollton, and Bowden. A
new institution to be known as a
terminal agricultural college will be
located at Tifton.
The program adopted by the re-

The animals are being filled and
groomed for display and exhibition
in their respective events and classes.
Dr. Milton P. Jarnuglu, professor ol
animal husbandry, states that all in
dications point to the fact that they
will be exceedingly well fitted this
year.
“The boys who have drawn the
animals,” Dr. Jarnagin said, “are
taking a great interest in their work
this year, and can be found at the
stables morning and night.”
This exhibition, which is being
sponsored by the Baddle and Sirloin
club, is considered to be one of the
largest events of the year for the
College of Agriculture. Lust year it
attracted 1.1UU paid admissions and
current interest in the show indicates
that an equally large or larger crowd
will attend this year. Dr. Jarnagin
oeneves.
The show will include exhibition
and display of beef cattle, dairy cat
tle, horses, mules, hogs, and sheep.
The animals will be judged accord
ing to the way in which they have
been fitted, and the manner in which
they are handled while being exhibit
ed. The Judges will be (acuity mem
bers of the department of animal
husbandry and prominent animal
husbandmen from all over the state.
In addition to the exhibits there
will be a pony show and a dog show.
More than luo dogs will be exhibited
and judged during the day.
A grand champion and a cham
pion in each class will be chosen and
awards will be made to the winners.
Tho pony show will consist largely of
exhibition and riding of ponies by
children of Athens. Here again the
grand champion will be selected and
a prize given the winning rider.

Among the moves made by the
board of regents Saturday which
bear directly on tho University ut
Athens are the re-election of Presi
dent S. V. Sanford, the converting
of the College of Education into a
Coordinate College of the University
for freshman and sophomore women
students, the moving of the depart
ment of engineering to Georgia Tech,
the merging of the Tech School of
Commerce with the one at tho Uni
versity, and the ubdlition of the two-

Integrated parts of the system in
Athens; the offices of president ut
the College of Agriculture and the
College of Education, held by Dr. An
drew M. Soule and Dr. Jero M.
Pound, respectively, have boen abol
ished. The president is to be assist
ed by deans for the College of Agri
culture uud the Coordinate college.
These men have not been selected
although Mr. Hughes Spalding, chair-
mun of the regents, lias stated that
Dr. Soule and Dr. Pound are “cer
tainly not definitely out of the sys
tem.”
Effective in September
Beginning next September, what
is nuw known us the College of Edu
cation will be used (or all (reahmun
and sophomore co-eds attending the
University. In so fur us possible,
tho buurd hue demanded that all
work for this group bu given on that
campus.
The department of engineering
now located at the University will
be moved to Tech while the Tech
School of Commerce will be combined
with the ouo on this campus. In
the future no two-year normal cer
tificate will be offered at the Uni
versity, by act of the regents.
School of Chemistry Formed
The departments of chemistry in
Franklin college, the College of Agri
culture, uud the College of Educa
tion will be made into one School
of Chemistry to be headed by Dr.
Alfred W. Scott, the present head
of the Franklin chemistry depart
ment. In the past there has been
duplication of courses in this field
at the three units of the system in
Athens which aru now definitely one.
Courses in home economics at the
two Athens institutions will become
u School of Home Economics under
a dean. The radio service at the
University will bu discontinued since
it has been costing approximately
$10,000 a year, regardless of the fact
that station WiSH has been giving
the time without cost. The depart
ment of veterinary medicine was also
done away with in the College of
Agriculture as u part of the action
to reduce expenses.
(Junrtcr System Authorized
Four full quarters each year were
authorized for the University which
will go on an even more intensive
quarter system, as will all other units
of the system with the exception of
Georgia Tech and the Lumpkin Law
school.
in the future, work at the Univer
sity will bd practically the same for
all degrees during the freshman and
sophomore years. It is understood
that this change is being made so
that the Junior college courses in
other units of the system can be
standardized and so that those who
attend these junior colleges will have
no difficulty in entering the Univer
sity lor senior college work.
A Summer school for 1933 was
authorized for the University and
moves taken so that in the coming
years a regular quarter will be had
during the summer.
The details of the reorganization
in Athens have not been worked out.
The Red and Black was told Thurs
day that some of these probably
would be announced next week.
