Probabi 1 ity of Paveways
Instead of Mud ways
j
I F a 1)111 Introduced Into the Georgia legislature
this week is passed, Georgia students will no
longer have to wudo to und from classes through
a mire of mud which would discourage even a sea
going vessel. The hill calls for immediate paving
by the stntc highway department of roads and drives
in the institutions of the University system.
Following this week's heavy rains, roads through
the University campus became almost impassable
to both uutolsts und pedestrians. Mud several Inches
deep impedes the pussuge of automobiles und splash
ed heavy coats of mire on unwary walkers.
In dry weather, the condition of the mudways is
little better. Rough, corduroy-like ridges appear to
shake into disrepair the curs of students und faculty
members. During the summer, dust tills the cam
pus air and students of the warmer session have
another coat of brown added to their sun-tan,
The condition of the roads at the University has
long been a disgrace to the cause of higher educa
tion In the state of Georgia. Under the pens of at
least three editors. The Red and Black has cam
paigned for paved roads. Promises have been made
and not carried out. Hut ut Inst there scents to lie
hope. Editor Ray's "Possibility of Paveways Instead
of Mudwuys" has been changed to "Probability of
Paveways Instead of Mudways.”
The Red and lllaek respectfully urges our stnte
solons to puss this bill, which will remedy a situa
tion long In need of attention. The Red and lllaek
urges Georgia students to communicate their wishes
on the mutter to their home representatives und sen
ators. Only through a concerted uction Is unything
ever accomplished, and concerted action on the part
of 2,000 future voters will weigh heavily with the
Georgia law-makers.
Paved roads loom for the University. The Red
and lllai'k takes upon itself the unifying of the sen
timents of 2,000 students when it asks the legisla
ture to act favorably und end mudways at Georgia.
A University Within a University:
The General Library
J
T HREE yeara ago on any afternoon or night
one seeking recluse und quiet could always
slip Into the University library. The proud
edifice would be generally barren of patrons. A
bespectacled student occasionally sat slumped at a
table devouring Shakespeare, but the average stu
dent rarely came In.
Things have changed today. Throughout the
week, afternoons nml nights, the library is buzzing
with activity. Not with the bespectacled musty
tome readers, but from students of all ranks.
Youth apparently hus uwakaned to the realiza
tion that the proud edifice is Intrinsically u univer
sity within a university. Such it is. Rows and rows
of reading matter laboriously prepared by the best
minds of all ages, dealing with any subject under
the sun adequately line the shelves.
Every phase of human endeavor Is thoroughly ex
ploited und presented in countless thousands of
books, courteously served the student by expert
librarians. Yet for years they remained untouched
on the shelves.
Today there are students who rarely avail them
selves of the free use of the library. A deplorable
circumstance, admittedly, since an education can
bt painlessly extracted without academic pressing.
But the modern student thinks more, it seems,
than his predecessor. Maybe It Is because of the de
pression. But the library is taken seriously now.
It is a respected institution.

By Ida Mogul
Spring Is here, although not offi
cially, and It follows as the day the j
night. Little Commencement. It’s |
about time all you gents gave se
rious thought to the matter of an j
excuse explaining why you Just had
to ask the home town girl down.
To De\. S.:
Consider the heartbreak, the torture,
the moans
Of the girlies who won’t get to hear j
dear Isham Jones.
Love Is the only experience from I
which we never learn better.
I'd choke with bare hands, and I |
mean it,
The gal who always insists she’s I
agin It.
Malicious rumor is anything your
enemy says about your friend.
Simile: As misused as the word
love on any college campus.
Like a pretzel without a twist.
Like a doughnut without a hole.
Like a fog without a tnlst
Is a woman without a soul.
On Futility:
It does no good to rant and rave.
Remember all the things you crave
You'll never have, and if you do
You'll never want. For instance,
you.
I thought that you were quite su
preme.
The salt, the pepper, or whip cream.
Since when I've found you're just
a man
With all the failings, and a pan
I find It hard to love. Your feet
Are big, your nature’s hardly sweet.
And yet, I guess I'd better hold
You. You're good as any other
Boy or man or e’en his brother.
Though another may look cheery,
Close up lie'll look just as dreary.
A Book About Nuts
A REVIEW
lly lielle Meadow
Would you resent being called nor
mal? Karl Menninger, author of
"The Human Mind" (Knopf, Inc.),
believes that most of the people
named In "Who's Who" would be
quite justified in doing so, as would
any one else with more than the
usual or average amount of intelli
gence.
Dr. Menninger has spent his entire
life delving into the intricacies of
the normal us well as abnormal mind,
and it is for the purpose of acquaint
ing the reader with a better and
more practical view of the extra
ordinary mentality that he has writ- |
ten this book. His interpretation of
what is commonly called insanity or
abnormality is extremely plausible,
interesting, and easy to understand.
He attempts, not only to give the
factors, Internal and external, that
bring about these mental machinery
jams, but to also show how these
failures may he rehabilitated and
How to maintain a healthy and happy
mind.
The style of the book, although ab
solutely reliable scientifically, has
the additional charms of attractive
style of writing and exceedingly fas
cinating material. The author en
larges upon a subject which is as
close to mankind, individually and
collectively, as any subject may be,
and one which appeals in some way
to every reader. It is a book, which
i taken seriously, might prove itself
! to lie useful to many.
Hundreds of cases taken from the
rich experience of Dr. Menninger,
his friends, and his colleagues make
the points expressed both forceful
and readable. These cases are given
in such a brief and accurate manner
as to bo almost shocking in their
rapid climaxes.
The main attribute of the book is
its charming mixture of scientific
knowledge clothed in basic or ele
mental stories that appeal to the
' reader and lure him on into the book,
j This is one of the first books on
psychiatry that includes poetry.
It Is practically impossible to read
i this book without gaining a broader
outlook and more sympathetic un
derstanding of abnormality, and
without regarding such misfortunes
with a greater degree of intelligence
i and a complete elimination of horror.
Editor’s Note
By the Editor
Jumped on were we last week by
All Malice (,j g shots of the University R. O.
Absent T - c - unit> who thou s ht that our
notes about ‘ too many tuxedoes”
were direct insinuations at not only their ability to
distribute the Military Ball Annie Oakleys but at
their honor and integrity. Without backing up a
millimeter in our contention that there were too
many civilians, we hasten to assure Brothers Dorsey
and Dean that our Intentions were not malicious.
Also a belated congratulation is in order to the
Colonel for one of the best khaki and lace affairs
we have ever attended.
An editorial writer should be the
Well Written individuals who composed the Ath-
Renlv ens theaters' reply to a student
‘ - petition for lower prices. One
reading will convince you that the local flicker
houses after all have a pretty sound argument and
that they are managed hy level-headed business men
who are not attempting to ream student pocket-
books hut merely to make air honest profit by pre
senting the best in motion picture entertainment.
The Red and Black still favors lower prices at the
two theaters and we rest calm in the belief that as
sion as such a reduction is feasible, it will be made,
to the benefit of both students and theaters.
Campus Leader Hudson Moore,
Senator 1 akes known to friends as "Senator” and
His Leave to c,oser friends as “Walpool,”
leaves school with the closing of
this quarter. And with the departing of the Sen
ator. the campus loses one of its most unique per
sonalities. Mingler with the great and near-great
of both fraternity and campus factions, Walpool dis
plays an open political secrecy, if there be such,
that makes him likable in spite of whatever faults
he might have. No more letters to the editor, no more
conferences—the Senator takes his leave.
Jones Is Still
Coming
and Black. For
whom seeing is
signed and will
"Isham Jones is still coming,” de
clares Pan-Hellenic President Staf
ford, recalling false scares of
other years appearing in The Red
the benefit of those doubters to

swing into “I’ll See You in My
Dreams” on the night of April 12.
. Although disliking to become any-
No Morning thing unbecoming of a supposed-
PaDers ly c Y nical newspaperman, a feel-
“ ing akin to sentimentality pos
sesses us as we write of one who has served well:
our retiring managing editor, William L. Waddell,
who, along with several others, finishes school this
quarter. Filling a position his senior year which is
usually held as a stepping stone to the editorship,
Waddell has done his job above criticism. At pres
ent. the bliss of matrimonial adventure calls him,
to mention nothing of an awaiting professional
world. You have the best wishes that an editor
who hopes you won’t work on a morning newspaper
can wish, Mr. Managing Ehitor
I. _ . .. Those who are not worrying too
Mark L p much about theater prices will at-
A Hit tend the second showing of "The
Late Christopher Bean” tonight
in the ancient Seney-Stovall Memorial theater on the
Lucy Cobb campus. The University dramatists have
worked hard in preparing their winter production,
and the opening last night again proved the ability
ol Director Crouse and his cohorts to present first
class dramatic productions. “The Late Christopher
Bean" puts another notch in the University players’
gun.
. . The University poloists' chances
1 Jehnite of getting a new field took another
Action leap Thursday when President
Sanford requested Capt. H. G.
Holt to submit complete plans for the new field to
him for a conference with Mrs. Ella Lundy Soule,
director of women’s physical education. Mrs. Soule
j is the only possible objector to the plan, as the
new field will make use of what is now the wo-
1 men’s hockey field on the Ag campus. Final decision
I on the proposal for a new field will be made be-
: tween now and the beginning of the next quarter.
President Sanford said. Ride on, poloists; a new
I field looms on the horizon.
That the popular sport of mud-
wading at the University will soon
cease seemed probable Thursday,
with the introduction in the house
| of a bill to pave the University's roadways at the
expense of the state highway department. We can
not express ourselves strongly enough in support
i of this movement. Paved roads at Georgia are no
longer a needed luxury: they are a needed neces-
! slty.
j, , c On the subject of paved roads,
nroad otreet the city of Athens has shortened
Paved the distance from the campus to
Milledge avenue lodging places
1 of students by the paving of Broad street on through
to Milledge. Would-be wooers have no excuse left'
j for not being on time at Lucy Cobb and the Chi
| Omega house.

By Koddy Ratcliff
“Beware the Ides of March,” warns
1 Shakespeare. Your Uncle Roddy
! says beware of Idas, Marys, Jean
ettes, Ruths and any other coying
creature. For Spring is in the air,
etcetera, etcetera, etcetera.
It being Spring time, I hear ru
mors that it is love that makes the
world go round: an explanation as
to why so many people in it are diz
zy. Perhaps.
Collitch Lawve:
—"Frailty, thy name is woman,”
quoth Editor Dozier along with the
w’orld’s first scandal-monger, Shake
speare, as Chi O’s blonde beauty,
Guillebeau, gives him what is known
in politer circles as the ozone. Move
over, Flambo. (Note to Editor: If
yen cut this, I'll put ground glass in
your coffee and thumb my nose thrice
at you).
—ALT Thompson spits and spats
with Troo Lawve Salona, whose
name I’ve probably spelt wrong, and
sits on the steps with Lucy Cobb’s
Franklin.
—Chi O’s Massey claims immunity
in this column due to some strange
pull with Red and Black big wigs.
So says Massey. Frankly speaking,
the gal hasn’t done anything of note
to rate this column but we hereby
give her a break just to show we
can.
—Herbert Sonthoff, German ex
change student, I am informed by a
Joe Brown friend, is “deeply in love
with Miss Agnes Highsmith,” to
quote him directly.
—Because of the false report of
a couple of weeks ago, Oakman Eth
eridge’s face still glows crimson, but
he manages to bear up like a typical
SAE.
—ADPI Colley courts footballer
Vince O’Malley out of season.
—George Spence dated Ann Mc
Kinnon at the masquerade: he went
as a clown with all the paint—Came
Saturday and he couldn’t get all the
red (paint) off his lips—now I won
der!?!
—Charles Clements loses his car
... he says sister Carolyn has it
out at Lucy Cobb—again I have a
big, loud wonder!?!
—Steenie Jamison eyes Fern
Baggs in Costa’s although Douglas
Grimes has herself a new bus.
—Purcell, of the Journalism tribe,
does a triple pass—Golucke to
Strickland to Hains. These travel
ling salesmen!
—Mary Freeman, of the Phi Mu
sisterhood takes turns courting
Tracy Olmstead and Sigma Chi Chan
dler.
—Elmo Thrash receives a “stop”
sign with Marion Fugitt and courts
sister Betty. Pan-Hellenic officers
may be good at politics, but at this
love game—blah!
—Five Tri-Delts crash PiKA date
list. Newly elected president Kick-
lighter seems to be leading the girls
out of the wilderness into wildness.
—Just that Spring influence:
Crenshaw Bonner haunts Miller hall’s
portal. Motivation supplied by Micky
Knupp who came to the masquerade
as Micky Mouse or rat or something.
This Time
Last Year
With pettish peeve at faculty guid
ance the Coordinate college Woman’s
council said: "We won’t play!” and
thereupon resigned in a body, or
maybe it was a couple of bodies.
Leave it to women when it comes
to politics.
Home brew and sporty clothes
spread like a rash this week, accord
ing to The Red and Black, a sure-fire
sign of Spring. The following week
the mercury took an awful dive and
all those racetrack suits went right
back into the moth balls.
Little Commencement dates were
set at April 20-21 by Greek Czar Joe
Thomas, the politician who believed
in the iron fist encased in a silken
glove. The orchestra, which was
announced later, was kept under
wraps, hut Mai Hallet was surpris
ingly good-
