College Rah-Rah Days no More-
I.ittle Commencement Dances
t~m -*0 **xpec t 2,000 college students at a Unlver-
_£ Hlty where all klndH and classes are mixed Into
one great melting pot, to hold their blggoHt
■lance series of the year and leave the town un
wrecked two years ago would have been considered
an anticipation of only the most ostrich-llke acade
mician.
Friday and Saturday of the past week-end. Geor
gia fraternity men held their biggest l.lttle Com
mencement (lance series. To say that they held
their sanest and most sober Little Commencement
is unnecessary.
Recalling past episodes of the rah-ruli days of
college and realizing the great influx of intoxicat
ing liquors that has poured Into Athens since re
peal. anxious parents held their breaths over the
fate of their heirs und daughters this week-end.
Perpetual college-goers predicted It would he the
r **c*v *iu..co series ever seen at the University.
Rven our academicians sadly held their heads and
admitted that perhaps little would be left of the
University following the affairs.
Whether it can be credited to repeal, with an
Increaso in drinking for taste rather than effect, or
whether the officials of the Pan-Hellenic council and
the student body deserve the praise we do not know.
The fact remains that In the unanimous opinion of
both University authorities and disinterested par
ties, Georgia held her soberest Little Commence
ment last week-end.
The Pan-Hellenic council and particularly its pres
ident, DeNoan Stafford, are to be congratulated.
Isham Jonea and his group of musicians left noth
ing to be desired in the way of music; the dances
were a decided financial success, and the conduct
of a majority of those attending was above reproah.
President Stafford and his group have set a stand
ard which will make much rougher and harder the
ways of council presidents and members of future
days who do not measure up to this plane of achieve
ment. Georgia has been given a good hand and a
good Little Commencement; we doubt If they will
be satisfied with any other kind In the future.
I he Campus Blooms Forth,
Thanks to Mr. Winemillcr
B LOSSOMING with the budding of Spring, the cam
pus of The University of Georgia has taken on
an uppearunce of beauty that will take the
back scat for none. More so than at any previous. |
time the campus deserves the respect of those for
whom it has been made beautiful—namely, Its
patrons.
Ground-keeper O. Winemiller should have the
thanks aud appreciation of every loyal son and j
daughter of the University. He Is the man who so
patiently and diligently has labored against never
ceasing odds to make this campus the beauty spot
we are enjoying today. The green grass, the green
shrubs the blossoming flowers, the green leaves on
the trees and the birds have all received care from
this man who loves nature and glories in having the
campus of our University beautiful.
Never in the history of the institution has the
campus received more congratulations. The once
bare, ugly spots are now places that invite the eye
and please the students’ finer senses.
A plea to the students to help Mr. Winemiller keep
the campus beautiful is in all probability not needed.
The Red and Rlack urges every student to take
pride in the work that is being done and realize
that if this work is not destroyed future laboring
will not just keep the campus in the condition we
find It today, but will make it even more beautiful.
The campus of the University is truly beautiful.
We appreciate the efforts of those who have made
it ao.

When a football players Russian
ex-prince and princess, a band leader,
and a fake countess come into pos
session of the leading dressmaking
establishment of the world, there's
plenty going to happen, and it does
in "Roberta.'' at the Palace Thurs
day and Friday.
If you don’t like tap dancing, or
singing, or new tunes, or beautiful
women and good looking men, just
stay at home and read that text book
you put away for a rainy day. but
you'll be missing a most delightful
afternoon or evening, if not an edu
cational one.
Of course the settings are lavishly
absurd at times, and people break
into song at the most Inopportune
moments, but, after all, what can
you expect in the present-day mu
sical comedy? The fashions display
ed are very showy, but seem to be j
slightly too extreme for use, in some
instances.
“I Won’t Dance,” "I'll Be Hard ,
to Handle,", and “You're Lovely to |
Look At” are among the musical
scores in the production, in addition
to the old favorite, "Smoke Gets In j
Your Eyes.”
Irene Dunn gives a dignified pre- |
sentatlon in the leading role, and
displays a sweet and clear voice as
she croons lullabies to her benefac- :
tross and love songs to Randolph
Scott.
Scott plays the charming part of
a man, who resembles a "Newfound
land puppy,” and does it in an en- j
dearing manner, which is, after all, j
quite an attribute.

r.ive their first actual hint of the
r.i.r.z big event today with the

president of the senior class, that commencement
invitations will go on sale Monday. From samples

• Boil on, Pot •
By Mark Lawrence
Campus political pots this year are slow ln coming
to a boil and bubble, but at this early date, those
observers of non-fraternity affairs, supposed to be
in the know, already are predicting that "As Camp
Wilkins goes, so goes the election."
Camp Wilkins, politically a hotbed, always votes
solidly, turning up at the polls with 100 per cent
representation. Candidates who are able to swing
Camp Wilkins in their favor need worry hut slightly
about getting a solid dormitory on the main cam
pus to vote for them; a mere scattering of votes
from the rest of the campus, in addition to the Camp
Wilkins vote, would put them ln office.
Illustration from last year’s election serves in
point. One candidate had Camp Wilkins and a scat
tering of votes from the rest of the campus in his
favor. The other candidate had two dormitories for
him solidly, and a large block from the rest of the
campus. But he lost.
As yet, of the four important non-fraternity of
fices, a real contest has developed in only one race.
Hoop Eberhard, Candler hall boy, who up until a
few days ago has been favored to take the presidency
of the Athletic association in stride, has had keen
competition develop for the post in the past few
days. J. T. Bailey, also of Candler hall, has an
nounced his candidacy for the post. His activity
in "politicking,” this early in the campaign is indi
cation. observers have pointed out, that he will be
come stronger and stronger in the time left before
the polling.

Little Commencement, here today,
a headache tomorrow. Or was it
yesterday? ... I forget to remem
ber. Anyway, it was swell while it
lasted. I hope all you boysies and
girlsies enjoyed it as much as I did.
The music was swell, the night air
was fine, the women beautiful. Sit
ting here this warm Spring Wednes
day night, inhaling the sweet fra
grance wafted from the trees in
bloom (or is it love?), I grow sen
timental. It was my last Little
Commencement as an undergraduate.
I could cry into my ale.
I hereby present Greek Chieftain
Stafford with a bottle of Seagram's
and one white orchid for running the
most successful set of Spring dances
for lo these many years.
One thing I discovered over the
week-end: Hell hath no fury like a
woman scorned; the North Pole has
no frigidity like a woman stood up
for the dances.
This Tiling Called Collltcli Lawvo
—Margaret Jones, Chi O sister, Is
j reported by one of my spies to have
KA’s Roger Lawson, and Delta’s
Lee Price all on one piece of string.
Looks to me like she’s trying to be
come just another all-fraternity girl.
—New ADPi sister Ruth Landers,
they tell me, has Chi Psi’s Sambo
Lester on the run. Just to make it
i interesting, you gals and citizens
might be interested in knowing that
there is a KA in the offing as a dark
j horse.
—PiKA’s Joe Stewart of Law
School trial fame, courts Mary
Rainey, a transferee from Florida,
in the local cemetery. They tell me
that love is the death of some peo
ple but who’d have thought anyone
would take it that seriously?
—Chi O’s sister Rachel Hamby,
who follows in sister Theresa’s foot
steps, breaks campus hearts by de
voting her time to Lamar Swift when
ever he comes to town.
—Margaret Dance lets it be
known that Buster Tyson is aces,
but with all the Jacks around, it
looks like a full house.
—ATO’s Purcell mourns the tame
ness of Little Commencement week
end with Miller’s Golucke. Still
water runs deep, my friend.
—Mr. and Mrs. Don Carter, who
j threw the campus in a flutter last
! year when they eloped to St. Peters
burg, were in town over the week
end for the dances.
—One that I’ve overlooked for a
long time: Alleen Starr Davis, of
, the Tri Delt brood, and SAE’s Mack
Fowler are hitting the town’s “high
I spots” together.
—Blond Sam Arnold, Brooklyn,
I N. Y., who graduated this past June,
came back to town over the week
end for the dances, causing many
gals heartburn. Now attending Co
lumbia for his M.A., he’s the guy
who courted the ladies by spouting
Shakespeare and other poets at
them.
—ATO’s Chan Blair couldn’t trust
; to home talent over the week-end,
so he imported Virginia Dunn from
Milledgeville for the dances. ADPi’s
Colley did not feel overly much put
out, my spy reports.
—Lucy Cobb’s Salona takes it on
the lam over the week-end. and
runs off to Millen to see boy-friend
Cleve Thompson. Whoever says
man pursues?
—Out of the wreck of trampled
feelings of Little Commencement:
Micky Knupp and SAE’s Tony Solms
developed a romance over the week
end. Spy says It looks like busi
ness, holds many potentialities.
—Macon’s Wallace Miller and
KD’s Betsy Jones are together again
following a 24 hour spat. No, it
1 didn’t last that long, they took time
out to eat and sleep. He said he
wasn’t going back, but the curtains
started waving and he just couldn't
say goodbye.
Our green-ey.pd contrib continues
to look on the grey side of life and
sends in the following Sour Portraits:
—Fran Yates, one of Pope Hill’s
theories.
—Annabelle Watson, a lot of
noise with a blonde mop.
—Hammond Dean, your first chaw
of tobacco.
—Tom Abney, like Herbert Hoov
er, out of the picture.
—Hart Odum, Mussolini at 18.
