Speakers Discuss
Fascism, New Deal
In Annual Exercise
Steinberg and Green Speak
at Anniverearian Ceremon
ies in Chapel
“Fascism, not Communism or
Socialism is the danger that threat
ens us today,” declared Claude
Green, Clayton, in representing Dem-
osthenian in the Anniversarian exer
cises Thursday morning at the chap
el, commemorating the found'ng of
the two societies which are more
than a century old.
Representing Phi Kappa, Maurice
Steinberg, Augusta, spoke on “The
New Deal and Industry,” declaring,
"That because of the depression, the
college graduate today faces a future
very different, economically, and
socially speaking. And the cause
of the depression is Capitalism;
bringing about an unequal distribu
tion of wealth.”
Green said that the Fascist danger
comes from certain organized groups
outside the government and that
Communism does not threaten us as
much as believed. "Tendencies dur
ing recent months also show that
we will come out of the depression
with some impairment of our civil 1
rights,” Green declared.
"A high tariff, government regula
tion of wages, and a stable market
should overcome the present eco
nomic crisis.” thinks Steinberg. "Low
wages for the workers was the cause
of the unequal wealth distribution,
and higher wages is the solution,”
he concluded.
Green is a senior candidate for an
A.B. degree, a member of Phi Beta
Kappa, Phi Kappa Phi, Gridiron, I.
R. C., president of the Y. M. C. A.,
and associate editor of the Pandora.
Steinberg is a senior in the law |
school, captain of the swimming
team, business manager of the 1934
Pandora, former president of Tau
Epsilon Phi, and a member of Grid-
Iron, Blue Key, and Biftad.

General Feeling of Satisfaction Prevails
After Gala Little Commencement Frolic
Senior Invitations
On Sale at Co-op
Commencement invitations will go |
on sale to seniors at the Co-op book
store starting Monday, William Mad
dox, Winder, president of the senior
class, announced Thursday. Sale
of Invitations will continue for the
next 10 days, he said.
Prices on the invitations will be
the lowest in years, Maddox pointed I
out. They will sell for 35 and 50 I
cents, depending on whether they
are cardboard or leather.
During the 10 day period of sale, I
invitations will be available at all |
times while the Co-op bookstore is
open.
Stub Norman, Washington, and I
Richard MacDonald, Winder, have j
been appointed by President Maddox
to interview all seniors at sorority
and fraternity houses for orders. I
Students pnt aside thoughts of
Isham Jones, bootleggers and taxi
drivers counted profits, and various
house matrons breathed sighs of re
lief Sunday as Athens and the Uni
versity returned to normalcy after
the 1935 edition of Spring dances
of the Pan-Hellenic council.
Isham is gone but his music will
linger in the minds of melody-mad
students for some time. With Little
Commencement over, they can re
count tales of familiarity with Isham
(they probably only saw his baton
waving, from a distance). Other
tales can be told, too.
Though professors and house
mothers sighed, they also nodded in
approval. The general opinion is
that this was the most successful
Little Commencement yet.
President Sanford: “From what I
hear from faculty members and chap
erons on my return to Athens, I am
satisfied that Georgia students have
proven to the world that they are
gentlemen in every sense of the
word. I am proud of President Staf
ford and his council and the leaders
of student opinion on the campus
for the way In which the dances were
put on. They deserve the praise and
j thanks of every Georgia student.”
Mrs. Rhodes, dean of women:
"Last week-end was the nicest Little
Commencement that I have seen at
the University in the past five years,
and one of the nicest I have ever had
the pleasure of observing. I cannot
| remember any dances that were
j quieter, saner, and more sober.
Georgia fraternity men are to be
i congratulated.”
Campus leaders agreed that the
dances were a complete success.
DeNean Stafford, president of the I
Pan-Hellenic council: “I am especial-1
] ly gratified at the crowds that at-1
{ tended all the dances and at the
[cooperation I received from members
| of the council, fraternity and non-
fraternity men. The dances were
{financially a success and I believe
that the Pan-Hellenic council has
! redeemed Itself in the eyes of Geor
gia students."
Stub Norman, campus leader:
