Youth-Movemcnters F'ail
In Walkout Revolt
T HE gross failure of the recent national stu-
dent strike for "peace," called by various hair-
tearing groups In the Amorican scene for April
12, Is a cheering onion to the collegian who still has
faith enough in his country and in democracy to re
frain from radical exhibitions which in a less lib
eral nation would be dealt with as high treason.
Student editors throughout the country, misled in
19 34 into believing thut such demonstrations would
actually aid In preventing future wars, recalled their
stand this year and condemned the movement with
the sane firmness of clear, logical writing.
The Rod and Black Is not militaristic In Its view
point. The editor from time to time has been ac
cused of being a "pacifist,” whatever that term sig
nifies. War Is one of mankind's greatest curses,
but ut present uu Inevitable curse.
To think that a group of half-baked college rad
icals walking out of their classes in an absurd ado
lescent demonstration will lessen the possibility of
future wars Is to our minds warped reasoning.
War at present Is inevitable. Ultimate abolish
ment of Its horrors will come about only through
universal education against It through an Informed
press, school und pulpit, and not through the walk-
Ing-out activtios of misguided youth-movementers
who would probably have done more toward abolish
ing war If they had remained In their classrooms.
Rack to Their Powder-Puffs
Go Georgia Women
I T has long been tho contention of Rod and Black
editors that woman's place Is In the home, a
phrase none tho less true because of Its triteness.
Members of our fairer sex have sought at various
times to disprove this belief, but the editor must con
fess that women in business and politics are to him
very similar to the proverbial lish out of his natural
lenient.
This your, especially In student activities, there
has been a decided swing toward male control of
positions of student leadership. On The lied and
Black, there are at most only two members of the
fairer sex who can possibly lay any claim to jour
nalistic ability. High positions are open for the
woman who will go after them, but no such ener
getic female has developed this year.
Whether this la due to pure industriousness and
Indifference, or whether it signifies a real trend on
the part of Georgia womanhood back to their pow
der-puffs and basinets is a question that may be
argued pro and con.
There will be no woman's Issue of The Red and
Black this year. The editor, even in an idealistic
frame of mind, cannot stir up enough optimism
to believe that our Crosby-made fair things of 1935
could assume tho editorial and business reigns of
the campus weekly.
May we repeat? Woman's place is in the home.
Harry Stillwell Edwards
T HE Red and Black joins the press of the state
and nation in paying tribute to Harry Still
well Edwards, noted Georgia author, who last
week celebrated his 80th birthday in Macon.
Famous for such works as "Aneas Afrlcanus," and
other stories of the old South, Mr. Edwards has
made a real contribution to the literature of the
country. His feature on the editorial page of the
Atlanta Journal, “Cornin’ Down My Creek," bits of
whimsical philosophy and observation. Is followed
by thousands of readers.
(grains of (fait
By Ida Mogul
My sweet,
You amuse yourself, and tell
Me all the lies
Which may occur to-you, but still
You're not so wise.
I'd be the last to blame a man
For trying.
But whai makes you think you
have exclusive rights
On lying?
Have you ever noticed that no
body steps on your feet unless you
have white shoes on; nobody splashes
mud on you unless you’re all dress
ed up; and nobody ever seems to
want a date with a girl unless you’re
In love with her?
Girls who have alluring faces
Are sometimes seen In the strangest
places.
Men who sign their names
Should learn some safer games.
Sending kisses by one man to an
other Is rather like killing the cow
to feed the cat.
Editor’s Note
By the Editor
We Snuffer Spring, romance and six-day bi-
r cycle races put the editor in mood
But Live not conducive to intensive noting
of notable things. However, the
presses must roll; the students must read—and an
editor must eat.
All editors, we suppose, begin their term of office
inspired with the fire of a crusading zealousness.
But it Is a fire glimmering In the dampness of a wet
winter's night, for by the time any effervescent jour
nalist overcomes the adversities of student opposi
tion, and what Is much worse, indifference, most of
his inspirational flame Is extinguished.
We sputter; but we do not die.
The* Hirvrlp Illustrative of what Interests peo-
' ^ pie is the flurry caused by the
Riders SAE-Chl Phi six-day bicycle con
test. That Georgia fraternity men
still have enough originality to think up such a
stunt is pleasing to a newspaperman who sees all
too little of such news-making matter. The press
of the state and the section has recognized the news
value of such an event, with the result that Geor
gia’s six-day bicycle riders are known to sports fans
throughout the South.
Ef ya stay at home to study,
And don’t like to git about,
Then the Phi Betes'll git cha
Ef ya don't watch out.
A man once told me that all pride
Is foolish. So are all other luxuries.
To ii Young Lady More Stubborn
Than Wise:
You'll sit at home, your Pride and
You,
From early In the day till late .
And grieve, and sigh and maybe
groan.
And wish you two could separate.
Glee Club Scores
Hugh Hodgson scored another suc
cess Wednesday night when his 1935
edition of the Georgia Glee club put
on one of the best performances In
the history of the organization.
Miss Mina Hecker, the guest artist,
captured the house with her colora
tura soprano voice. She was the
most enthusiastically received guest
artist tho club has ever featured.
She was accompanied by Hodgson
on tho piano and Laura Rogers, Dah-
lonega, on tho violin. Miss Hecker's
songs would have undoubtedly re
ceived an even greater applause If
the program had not been so arrang
ed as to force her to sing all five of
her selections In succession.
Highlights in the program were
the songs of Luther Bridges, Gaines
ville, tenor; the burlesque ballet,
and tho tap dancing of Ed Cunning
ham, Royston, and Edith Logue. At
lanta. Bridges is a freshman In the
academic school but when I* came to
singing—well. His Interpretation of
“Coming Home” won the first big
hand that the unusually receptive
audience extended and when he sang
"AH Through the Night" the froat
called for more. He all but filled
fhe space left vacant by the gradu
ation of David Powell, star of last
year's club, though he sings in a
different pitch.
I When Bobby Brooks, Lexington,
! sang "I Hoar You Calling Me," one
i could see all the co-eds leaning for-
werd intently, with never an eye off
\ the little fellow whose singing
makes the feminine hearts go pitter
' patter. Ho was also good In sev-
j oral solos and club selections.
The club as a whole did the "Wtn-
! ter Song" by Bullard particularly
well and In the "March of the Mus-
; keteers" by Frlml all the voices of
' the club were brought out to the
best advantage. They handled the
| "Aecumuative Ballad” cleverly.
Laura Rogers rendered violin so
los that held the entire audience in
a very attentive mood. William Stew
art, Athens, in a baritone solo, was
good.
John Dekle, Savannah comes in for
no little amount of congratulations
for his arrangement of the skit
“Class Begins at 8:40.” The skit
pictured a music class—or was it
a class recitation set to music—take
your pick. The orchestra, the class,
the teacher. Several good jokes
were cracked during the course of
the skit and the audience received
several good laughs when the pupils
tossed coins to Bridges while he
sang a recitation, and when the KA
brothers on the front rows pitched
up pennies to Dekle as he sang
‘"June In January."

The Women The honor > social status and the
pride of Georgia’s men students
Get Revenue will be at Stake when the Women’s
Athletic Association gives it Re
taliation dance on May 4—a woman-break affair, at
which the women will pay the admission, provide
the transportation, introduce her date and in gen
eral attend to such niceties of social life which have
hitherto been the prerogative of the male of the
species.
Will “she who laughs last laugh best?”
A Deatlllv The lull between Little Commence-
' ment and the opening of warfare
Lull on the political front Is a death
stroke to one who must make his
living by the noting of such things. Caucuses con
tinue to be held by both parties, with various coup
d’etats being planned for the near future, but no
Information of any import is being given out by
either side and would-be political commentators are
finding their jobs almost impossible.
Sphinx elections looming on a not-far-distant
horizon provide interesting speculation for that group
who still speculate about such things. The Red and
Black feels that It Is not its place to give vent to
rumors that float concerning the activities of Geor
gia’s no-quotation?marks honorary, without definite
evidence—hence we leave that for the rumorers.
Journalists The conv e n t*on of the Georgia Col
legiate Press association meeting
Convene in Macon Friday for a two-day ses
sion, attracts a majority of the
state's would-be Journalists. The editor, together
with Managing Editor Rogers and other members
of tho staff will trek for Macon today to protect
the University's Interests when the news-mongers
get together. Interesting speakers and sessions have
been arranged and the convention should be another
milestone in the progress of collegiate journalism in
Georgia.
q , n j Either totally Indifferent or antag-

Writes? tivity such as thinking are Geor
gia students. Despite our earnest
efforts to provoke some sort of student discussion in
the columns of The Red and Black, our readers won’t
write, even to express their grievances. A newspa
per in the final sense is a mirror of the acUvities
of the group for which it is published. The Red and
Black seems unable to find subjects to be mirrored
therein. Please, reader, write.

By Roddy Ratcliff
Your Uncle Roddy looks forward to
tonight’s Chi O razz-mataz for it is
then that he hopes to replenish a
narrowed stock of polite slander and
gossip. Last week’s inactivity has
left him with but few items. Eros
(he’s the Greek god of lawve, you
dope) thrives amidst tho strains of
sweet music and swaying bodies.
This und That About Collitch Lawve:
—Ralph Righton, KA’s playboy-
in-chief, finally does the trick. He
was married, as you probably know
by now, over the week-end to Elber-
ton’s Dot Seymour.
—Speaking of marriages reminds
us that our former chief, former R.
& B. editor, Harold Martin, now of
the Atlanta Georgian, was linked to
Boyce Lokey, of the Ham Lokeys, In
Atlanta Tuesday.
—I love triangles, but I like quad
rangles better because they are so
exclusively rare. Hence mention of
this Dot Hains, TEP man Spier,
Footballer Cavan, and KA Birch
O’Neal omnibus of collitch lawve.
—Tall Blonde Blizzard Goodman,
of Brenau, Little Commencement big
parade leader-outer, seems to have
made quite an impresh. Greek
Chieftain Stafford burns the wires as
his phone bills rise due to numerous
and extended calls to Gainesville.
The post-office, I am led to under
stand, is also doing a roaring trade.
—Rankin eyes Golucke, and I pre
dict that he will soon ask her for that
first date, if he hasn’t already done
so by the time this reaches your eye.
—Correspondent Cyrano, a faith
ful ole contrib who aids me when I
ruji low, tells me to keep an eye out
for the activities of would-be court-
ers of Anne McKinnon. Detailed re
port next week.
—Inslee Johnson insists on chang
ing his viewpoint. This time its that
golden mopped Mary Helen Wood-
am who keeps his courting time
filled.
—Campus Leader Norman con
tinues to make trips out to Coordi
nate to see his “Good Fairy.” Brad-
well’s Jane Woodhouse is the gal
who’s doing the intensive reform
work . The bigshot says he likes it
that way.
—Footballer Griffith cuts in on
KA's Spinks activities with Miller
hall's Lyneathe Moore.
—KA Brooks spends the week-end
In Monroe at the home of Phi Mu
Mobley. Everything seems to point
to the Baltimore Pride coming down
the home stretch out in front.
—A quartet from Sigma Chi
makes up quite a chummy otet.
Reading from left to right: Crenhaw
Bonner, Micky Knupp; McGaugh-
ey-Hilda Jane Cox; Sid Johnson-
Margaret Jones; and Doyle Hall-Bet-
ty Decker. Fancy meeting you in
this crowded place.
—Since last year, still going
strong, and looks like stuff and
things; Lit Glover and Margaret Mil
ler, whom several people have men
tioned to me as being the campus's
standout romance. I remember
when Margaret used to keep a calen
dar marked from Monday through
Sunday, divided into morning, after
noon, and evening, on which she re
corded all dates. It was so marked
up with ‘Lit” that I thought it was
a brawl.
Music in the Air
By Tom McRae
They say that Hal Kemp has ar
rested the dance landslide caused by
the Casa Loma. Kemp can be heard
at 8 p. m„ E. S. T., over NBC every
Wednesday. Incidentally, Babs Ry
an and her brothers, former mem
bers of Waring'8 band, will be heard
regularly along with Hal Kemp's or
chestra. Also 'tis said that Orville
Knapp and Dorsey Brothers are the
coming bands.
I&ham Jones, en route from Cleve
land to New York, was pinched for
speeding and failure to observe a
school bus stop. Jones paid the fine,
shook hands with the officer and re
sumed his Journey east. Tommy
Tucker, whose orchestra was fea
tured at Homecoming in '33, is play
ing over NBC from the Staler hotel
in Cleveland.
Records proving most popular at
Durden’s Mosic store are:
"Pardon My Love.”
“You’re a Heavenly Thing.”
