The Intellegcnt Majority
Plays Its Hand
T AKING perhaps a little calmer and wiser meth
od of obtaining an end than was used a week
ago, a committee representing the entire stu
dent body submitted a petition to the officials of
Athena* two motion picture houses Thursday asking
that admission prices be lowered to suit the over
shrunken student pocketbook.
Following our "Judgod by the Worst” editorial
of last week, The Red and Black has been noth
praised and criticized for Its stand—praised we hope
by the intelligent element in the student body, and
criticized liy that element seeking to rationalize its
own condemuahle action. We havo wavered not a
degree from the opinion as set forth last week; mob
action such ns was witnessed on the streets of Ath
ens is disgraceful and unexcusuhle by orderly society.
Fin I has not yet been written to this dark chapter
of the University’s history. Three students nlready
have been given their final walking papers and the
fate of at least four more rests with the University
disciplinary committee. University officials have
shown thut they will not tolerate dissatisfied trou
ble-makers in the state's institution of higher learn
ing,
As for Thursday's petition to theater officials: we
hope that the powera that be in the Athena motion
picture business will realize that this request comes
from the Intelligent, sane element of the student
body, uninfluenced by that group which, upon find
ing Itself in a dangerous position, hit upon the idea
of arousing student syinputhy by demanding re
duced theater prices. The lied and Black feels sure
that, realising this, the men who govern the Palace
and Strand will give the petition the consideration
that a request from 2,000 students merits.
Whatever the outcome, the fact remains that there
will lie no repetition of the violence of a woek ago;
certainly not by the same faction that precipitated
the riot, and more certainly not by the thinking
majority of students.
Rulers of State Opinion
Couvene in Athens
C ONVENING at the University for their eighth
annual Institute, members of the Fourth Es
tate of Georgia descended on Athens Wednes
day night and Thursday morning to take part in
the most varied and interesting program ever ar
ranged for a group of newspapermen.
From the typewriters of the 200 who are assem
bled in Athens today grows the opinion of over two
million Georgians. United effort on the part of this
small group could bring about almost any action.
Unrealized power lies In their hands.
Shakespeare once said that "many who wear ra
piers fear goosequlUs.” Never has this maxim been
more applicable than today. Emerging from four
years of economic chaos and financial depression,
a state and a nation looks to men of the press for
leadership.
The Red and Black, on behalf of The University
of Georgia, extends to the visiting chroniclers of
thought and action of the state a hearty welcome.
We hope that through your visit here you will gain
a new insight Into the methods of higher education
in your native state.
To John E. Drewry, director of the Henry W. ]
Grady School of Journalism, goes much of the credit
for the program which is being presented for the
benefit of the visiting newspapermen—a program
which embodies itself an essential prerequisite of a
good news story, human interest.
Again we say to tho visiting Journalists, welcome.
May your stay at the University profit you as much
as we feel the University will itself profit thereby.

Repeal must have cost Athens
bootleggers a pretty penny, what with

Am sitting, gazing, sighing since
It’s charming you beside me here,
And you are always such a dear,
And even sometimes quite a gem,
But, yet, my love, it's ten p. m.,
And In an hour, I’ll be home
No matter how I’d like to roam.
Although you may think me a heel,
Romance will fly; restriction’s real.
I know of a suitable place to go
For people who ask me, "What do

College love Is like a radish: It

Lives there a gal with soul so dead
Who never to a man hath said,

Girls who entice
Are not very nice,
And though they're bad
It's terribly sad.
But It's not unlawful—
Ain’t this awful?

Editor’s Note
By the Editor
_ , Soldiers of war and soldiers of ill
Soldiers and fortune, militarists and newspa-
thp Pj-gg<j permen, are having their day.
Gentlemen of the press have con
vened since Wednesday, listening to the tales of the
lovelorn as related by Dorothy Dix and the story of
how the strangeness of truth has provided one man
with a living, as told by Robert L. Ripley, who daily
makes hundreds of Americans either believe it or not.
Tonight they will all pay tribute to the soldier boys,
when Colonel Jasper Dorsey and his lady, the Chan
cellor's daughter, Callendar Weltner, put their left
feet forward and take off on a Grand March, with the
boys in boots behind.
. . Listening to Dorothy Dix tell her
i files Ox strange tales of lost love Wednes-
Lost Love day night, we were impressed with
that lady’s serenity of outlook on
life in spite of the daily flood of communications
she gets from woeful lovers, husbands and wives.
Confessions of crimes that have been committed, that
are going to be committed or should be committed—
all come to this woman whose knowledge of human
nature should by now be equal to that of a Shake
speare. Making no pretentious speech, Miss Dix
or to be perhaps a little more accurate, Mrs. Eliza
beth Gilmer, kept her audience rippling with laugh
ter, as she quoted from letters sometimes ridiculous
and sometimes pathetic In their very ridiculousness.
Depite our belief that woman’s place is In one of two
places, one being the' home, we must admit that a
man would be out of place in Mrs. Gilmer’s job.
A job well done—a talk well made.
Polo and
‘X’ Clubbers
Action by the "X” club this week
seems to cinch the fight of Geor
gia’s polo-players for a new field
upon which to follow their sport.
As pointed out editorially in last week’s Red and
Black, the Physical Education girls, whose field the
poloists desire, would not be deprived of the use of
their field, and the equestrians would have a much
better place for galloping hoofs. Capt. Holt and his
team deserve the best, and we feel sure that Uni
versity officials will provide none the less for them.
.. „ Meeting in conjunction with their

tinies of the collegiate press of Georgia will hold

nor, whose connection with our contemporary publi
cation, the Technique, we have never been able to
discern, arrived yesterday to take over the presi
dential reigns of the organization, and by this after
noon, the working machinery of discussion and con
ferring should be well-oiled.

The petition that was submitted Thursday, though
somewhat lengthy in its expostulation, should pro

monsters of a prehistoric vintage attempting to gouge
the students, but intelligent business men who de
sire a fair profit from their enterprise.

punch, and his whimsical philosophy of life will give

If you enjoy life. Miller’s tome will give you some

don’t, it will give you new food for critical chewing.
Letters to the Editor
Dear Sir:
I was very much interested in your recent poll and 1
especially a comparison with the Digest poll.
You spoke of a "slight difference” between your
figures and those of the Digest. This is true of two
of the questions but not of the third. There was a
significant difference in the vote on the question of
Universal Conscription. What caused it I do not I
know, but practically, it could not be accounted for |
by chance causes. According to my calculations the
odds are more than one hundred thousand to one
against its being a chance difference.
Sincerely,
POPE R, HILL.

Well, citizens and citizenesses, the
day has arrived, and tonight you’ll
be dancing to the dulcet strains of
Bert Lown’s orchestra at the “Theta”
ball. For that really is what this
year’s Military ball amounts to. You
see, the Thetas were blacklisted this
summer for cutting up and weren’t
allowed to run a dance of their own;
so they upped and got a couple of
themselves appointed big guns in the
R. O. T, C. and are throwing a fine
dance.
In the meanwhile, heavy plans
continue under way for the KA cos
tume affair next week. Incidentally,
I don’t think I’ve mentioned it be
fore, that costume affair next week
will require masks for soft, fem
inine features and firm, masculine
maps.

-—Though I was led to believe it
weeks ago, my information was not
confirmed until today: Oakman Eth
eridge is the man that will walk at
sophomore women’s class president
Mary Lucy Herndon’s side, March 8,
at the Sophomore ball.
-—Well, now we’ll all be able to
see what former Sports Editor Aron-
stam’s taste in women run to: This
gal from Virginia that he’s been true
to for lo this past year and a half,
arrived in town this morning for the
Soldier man’s prance.
—Spunk McRae seems to make
cents with KD’s Penny.
—Gomez proves himself to be
quite a versatile man, becoming a
member of Phi Kappa, speechifying
organization, and between the flow of
hot air, manages to find time to court
Chi O’s Rachel Hamby.
—One of my spies informs me that
Don Cook has been cou’tin’ up a
Hale storm.
—Ralph Duggan and Claudia Nor
man are doing their best to let every
one know that they are that way
about each other.
—Dot Haines is the bark to that
O’Neal Birch tree.
—In that mock trial held over In
the Law school, Doris Nowell proved
a better prevaricator than Warren
Aiken. She received her divorce,
the custody of the two children (no,
I’ve looked all over and haven’t yet
been able to locate them), and $25
a month alimony.
—ATO Paul Jones courts Quelle
Brown heavy; McKnight and Carter
rest uneasily and once In a while are
seen to frown.
—With the unstinted aid of his
fraternity brothers, Colonel Ben Ros-
coe Turner finally got himself a date
for the Military ball: Margaret
Dance.
—“Grains of Salt” Mogul, head of
the D. Phi E. Chorus, will not state,
though constantly dated by TAO Can
tor, whether or not it is purely pla
tonic.
—That old, old lawve, KA Bob
Stephens and Grace Winston seems
to cook merrily along.
Mark Anthony’s choice for the
song of the week: Duke Ellington’s
"Solitude.” “Haunting Me, author
unknown, runs a close second, ac
cording to your Uncle Mark, whose
serious journalistic duties have
interferred with his scandal-mong-
ing. My choice for the best record
is the two part Job, with half a
dozen stars of the music world tak
ing part, of “You’re the Top,” Cole
Porter’s hit.
