A woman too bent on breaking a

doesn't remember to shield her own.
Men who insist on green shirts with
blue ties.
If not of themselves, should think

See the happy Mormon.
He doesn't have nine lives.
Isn't that a pity
When he has so many wives?
Little Commencement is like a

have been put in the supreme throne of education
in Georgia.
The University of Georgia, strange as it sounds,
suffers an irreparable loss when Dr. Sanford assumes
his new office in July. For the past 32 years, he has
devoted his every effort toward the building of a
greater University, and we feel just selfish enough to
begrudge the State of Georgia the services of such
a man.
As a personal friend, as an editorial adviser, and
as the head of our Alma Mater, Dr. Sanford will leave
a post difficult to fill. However capable his suc
cessor will undoubtedly be, we feel a tinge of con
solation in the fact that our graduation is coinci

Here’s this week-end you’ve all
been waiting for. Now you girls that
put together all those remnants of
all the gowns you ever had and made
some new creation will be able to
sport them this evening. And you
citizens will be able to swagger
around in those new spring jobs with
the patch seats—whoops, I mean
patch pockets. Dark as it is this
Wednesday night, I can visualize the
swaying couples this week-end.
Youth, indeed, is in the saddle. Let
us be gay, for in two months a crew
of us are going out into the crool,

Higher Fields of Endeavor
Call President Sanlord
W HEN Chancellor-elect Steadman Vincent San
ford assumes the controlling reigns of higher
education In (leorglu next July, the state at
large will benefit in direct proportion to the per
sonal loss that The University of Georgia will sus
tain.
That the Board of Regents of a great University
system has had the intelligence, the foroslght and
the courage to seloct a man of the caliber of Stead
man V. Sanford to head the state's educational sys
tem is a compliment not only to their own nbillty
but also to the governor and people of the state
who selected them.
Working ulways with the idea that a university
can be no greater than its least-important student,
Dr. Sanford in his 32 years at Georgia has built on
the foundations constructed by such men ns Abra
ham Baldwin, Walter B. Hill and David C. Barrow
An institution whose greatness is measured by the
love for it borne in the heart of every student and
graduate.
Two thousand live hundred students and 10,000
graduates today acclaim the election to the supreme
educational seat of the state a man whom each
knows as his personal friend.
Untiring in his efforts despite obstacle after ob
stacle, Dr. Sanford had fought for a greater Univer
sity of Georgia with every vestige of power that
comes from his capable hands and head. New build
ings for the University, a greater and larger facutly,
paved roads on the campus - all loom as a certainty
for the University becuuse of the efforts of the man
who has now been taken away from the confines of
one Institution to admlnster the educatonal affairs
of the entire state.
The Red and Black Joins the thousands who today
pay him tribute. That he must leave the University,
the scene of his 3 2 year tight for the cause to which
he bus dedicated himself, higher education, is Indeed
a blow. But If we must, we give him up with the
assurance that the state and society at large will re
ceive as great benefits from his leadership as The
University of Georgia has during his term as Its
guiding spirit.
Georgia Students Can Do
Other Things Besides Dance
P ROVING that they can do other things than dance,
University students will play hosts to the elev
enth annual Religious Welfare conference Tues
day. The conference In the past has proven one of
the outstanding events of the school year and Is the
highlight of the activities undertaken by the Uni
versity Voluntary Religious association.
In Dr. Monroe E. Dodd, president of the Southern
Baptist convention, the Religious association has se
cured one of the pre-eminent religious leaders of the
world as the annual speaker. Dr. Dodd has long
been noted for his Interest and work among the
young people. One of the addresses that he will
give Tuesday, he delivered before a gathering of stu
dents of the world in Berlin, Germany, a year or two
ago. He has just completed a six months' tour of
the world and is well qualified to speak on the con
ditions in which he found the peoples of the universe.
Many of our young men and women are prone to
dismiss these Welfare conferences as "Just another
sermon,” or as something for the older folks. Past
speakers at these conferences have definitely proven
that these are not "just sermons’’ but more of an
Intellectual discussion of tbe problems facing the
sasn. and the old of our times.
If I could but kill with black, sneery
stares
Frlonds too willing to mind my af
fairs.
Love is a sugar coated pill.
When life buffets me right and left,
Or to and fro by day or night.
You always lend a helping hand.
In case of foes, you reprimand
Them most sevorely, for you feel
''Though life is earnest, life is real,”
That I must have a manly gent,
And you’re the very one who's meant
To shield me from the horrid side,
The ugly, shameful, sordid side,
Of nature’s world. But do you know?
When life buffets me to and fro,
Though I may weep and sigh and
moan,
I’d rathor ruin my life alone.
Says the business manager:
Folks who go In as others come out
Will one of these days be hit in the
snout.
Stay at Home
Georgia.
A student strike against war for
Little Danger today at ll a. m. has been called
of a Strike by the National student League
for Industrial Democracy and the
National Council of Methodist Yuoth. Students in all
colleges and universities throughout the country have
been called upon to "walk out” of their classes at
11 a. m.
We venture the opinion that University of Geor
gia students will not walk out today, for three ex
cellent reasons: one, those that think know that
a mere walk-out of this type will not aid one iota in
the struggle for world peace; two, those that don’t
think haven’t enough energy to walk out of class;
and three, there are no classes held at 11 a. m.,
anyhow.

Attempting to synthesize events
on the international horizon affect
ing America’s part in the world
peace problem since the beginning
of the Great War in 1914, Frank H.
Simonds, America’s foremost inter-
nationalistic writer, has prepared a
sequel to his widely read "Can Eu
rope Keep the Peace?” in a new
volume, "Can America Stay at
Home?” (Harper and Bros., New
York).
Mr. Simonds, who is also author
of “How Europe Made Peace With
out America,” "A History of the
World War," and other volumes on
International relations, will be re
membered as a lecturer before Uni
versity of Georgia students several
years ago on the Institute of Public
Affairs program. During his visit
to the University, he gave his views
on the international problems, many
of which are reiterated In his "Can
America Stay at Home?”
“Can America Stay at Home?” is
a compact and concise history of
America’s part in the World War,
the beginning, according to Mr.
Simonds, of this country’s participa
tion in world affairs. The armistice,
the peace conference, the Dawes
plan, and the various administrations
of all presidents through Mr. Hoover
are treated in tbe light of their re
lation to the world's greatest ques
tion mark, world peace.
The book is divided into five parts
for the convenience of the lay read
er. An introduction, which gives an
insight into the political situation in
Europe before and at the beginning
of the Great War, also describes Wil
son’s. and therefore America’s, atti
tude during those early days during
which the civilized world was bding
thrown into a reality much worse
than any imaginaary hell. Ameri
ca's forced entrance Into the melee
despite Wilson’s reticence Is paint
ed in its true light.
Can America stay at home? No,
says Mr. Simonds. "The profits of
world peace can be shared only whon
the people of America are ready and
willing to pay the tax of international
responsibility,” he concludes. "Amer
ica. since the World War. has con
stantly been trying to escape the
consequences of haring become a
world power.”

President Stafford and his Brenau beauty will offi

Beautiful Chi O’s are this week-
Chi O’s Arc end strewn from Prince avenue to
Scattered Lumpkin street following the de
struction of their place of abode
on Milledge avenue by fire early Wednesday. The
usual lot of side-light stories, including girls being
in bathtubs and in various forms undress, accom
panied the episode.
Things worth an editor noting
from the college press of the na
tion: Only 131 convicts are listed
among the 4,323 convicts at Ohio
penitentiary—journalism students take heart; Sally
Rand took that course at Columbia university—a
reporter on a Columbia university paper, questioning
people on the street, found that five out of six in-
viewed think college students are loafers; the sixth
spoke Chinese—a Loyola university freshman was
unable to write as fast as a professor lectured, so
brought a stenographer to class with him who took
dow nthe notes in short-hand—"The Campus Whirl,”
new section of the Atlanta Journal, publishes Uni
versity of Georgia news events every week, paying
31 apiece for any contributions—a Georgia jour
nalism professor once declared that dots in copy
indicated absence of grey matter on the part of the
writer.
From Other
Typewriters
Students drop courses, not an un-
r lash: Dog usual thing; but when a professor
Bites Man drops a course, the old story about
the man biting the dog is brought
to mind. A professor at Loyola A. and M. last week
announced that he would discontinue one of his
courses. "The class is lousy,” was the only expla
nation that he would give. Georgia professors, take
note.
