NUMBER 30.
'Stub’ Norman
Selected Head
Of GOP Party
Campus Men Elect New Lead
er aslludson Moore Resigns
Position
Webb "Stub” Norman, Washing
ton, was elected campus leader at a
special meeting called by campus
men last Wednesday to fill the un
expired term of Hudson Moore,
Broxton, who resigned and will grad
uate at the end of the Winter quar
ter.
Moore will finish his requirements
for his degree and plans to leave
school following the Winter term
examinations, making the office of
campus leader vacant for the rest
of school term. He has accepted a
position of cotton asssitant in south
Georgia.
Goodwin Also Resigns
Felder Godwin, Lenox, vice-cam
pus leader who would have automat
ically became the G. O. P. party
head, will also leave the University
at the end of this quarter because
of his required attendance at a camp
in Florida next quarter.
Norman, a senior, is a candidate
for the B.S. general degree, is a
member of Gridiron and Blue Key,
honor clubs on the campus, and
president of the athletic association.
In a statement to The Red and
Black Thursday, Norman said, ‘‘As
campus leader I will help promote
anything that is to the benefit of
the student body, and at all times
will keep in touch with all fraternity
men in order to have the best of
feeling with them, and will strive at
all times to get the support of the
campus with anything they seek to
thrash out with the administration.”
No- Action On Petition
No future action will be taken re
garding the final decision rendered
by A. D. Robertson, manager of the
Palace and Strand theaters, as to
the lowering of prices at the two
local movie houses, according to the
newly elected campus leader. He
hopes however, that the management
will release pictures of the highest
quality if prices are to be unalter
ed. As to the proposed 10 cent
show, Norman said that students
will not favor second and third run
pictures which will certainly be the
case if the management considers
such a proposal. ‘‘We prefer the
best entertainment that can be of
fered if the present prices remain,”
he concluded.
Hudson Moore reached by The Red
and Black for a statement made the
following comment concerning the
special election. “Stub” Norman is
the best qualified man on the cam-

Answering a student petition
drawn up two weeks ago, Athens
theaters declined to lower admission
prices Thursday in a reply addressed
to the student committee which pre
sented the petition.
The answer, signed by A. D. Rob
ertson, manager of the Palace, points
out that a reduction is impossible
under the present plan of securing
first run pictures at the Palace on
the same dates that they are releas
ed in Chicago, New York, and At
lanta. Thanking students and pat
rons for their consideration "dur
ing and subsequent to the regretta
ble demonstration a short while hack
by a few misguided students,” the
theater officials “respectfully de-
decline” to make any reduction.
A second and third run motion
picture house in Athens, with an
admission charge of 10 cents is being
contemplated by the theater concern,
the reply implies. “If a sufficient
demand should develop to warrant
this action,” the 10 cent theater will
be installed, Manager Robertson de
clared.
A list of comparative prices of
other theaters is attached to the re
ply, showing that the Palace and
Strand have prices comparably low
with theaters in other cities.
A boycott, declared by 700 stu
dents in a mass meeting in the chap

Entliusiastic Audience Ap

at Opening Night Perform
ance Thursday
Love and virtue reigned supreme
over greed and dishonesty last night
at the Thaliun-Blnrkfrlar presenta
tion of “The Late Christopher Bon,”
under the direction of Edward C.
Crouse.
The play was the climax of the
career of the club and each member
of the cast gave excellent interpre
tations of a grand old play. It Is
not many years gone since this dra
matic club gave , only fair produc
tions with that unmistakable flavor
of the amateur. There was nothing
of this In the show Thursday night.
The nudience was enthusiastic
enough to clap In the middle of a
scene in appreciation of a particu
larly good piece of acting done by
Jean McFadgen. Ami the play must
certainly have been superb if the
usual college audience waited long
enough after it was over to applaud
for four cntrtaln calls instead of
making the usual mad rush for the
door without even a thought for the
actors and actresses.
McFadgen Steals Show
lean McFadgen did what is com
monly known as stealing the show.
Not only did she do her lines with
perfect comprehension and in the
proper tones, but her facial expres
sions would have told the whole
story with nary a word spokon. She
could have been a finished actress
last night instead of just a Georgia
co-ed.
"The Late Christopher Bean" is
the story of Abhy, the hired help in
the home of a New England doctor,
his wife and two daughters. Chris
topher Bean was a painter who had
wandered up into New England sick
unto death, and yet with the driving
force of the true artist which made
him buy paints, brushes, and can
vas when he hnd no food with which
to still his hunger, no fire to heat
his miserable little room, and no re
spite from his hacking cough. He
died and left behind him a number
of paintings, an unpaid bill to Dr.
Haggett, and a great and beautiful
love In his heart of Abby. As is the
fate of most great artists, he came
to be appreciated many years after
his death at which time his oils had
