Institute
Of Student Opinion
Telephone Improvements
rjiHE University last week caught
* up with the decade's commu
nication progress and students
this week wondered how mtjch this
was going to cost them.
The old-fashioned single-oper
ator switchboard was replaced by
automatic dialing apparatus which
completely filled one room of the
Academic Kuilding, facilitating In
ter-campus calls. The issue was
whether dormitories and frater
nity houses would taste this lux
ury or he forced to remain under
the old pay-telephone system.
Students, moreover, looked ask
ance at the dial exchange proposal
as if to ask, ‘‘How much is the
new change going to cost?”
Exchange Glad-Handed
Dormitory Vtudents through the
poll of the Institute of Student
Opinion gave the University offi
cials a glad-hand for the pro
gressive step, which would benefit
them more thun it would benefit
anyone else. More than 9 out of
every 10 dormitory students Join
ed in this opinion.
Dissension among the fruternal
ranks, however, lowered this per
centage in the total vote. Re
turns were tubulated as follows:
Ves No
Group Per Cent Per Cent
Dormitories 91 9
Chapter houses 76 24
Total vote 86 14
n ORMITORY students owe the
University administra
tion hearty thanks for the decision
to install free telephones on the
new dial system. The long await
ed time when it doesn't cost to talk
across the campus 1s really here!
To president Harmon W. Cald
well, Treasurer J. D. Holton, and
Business Manager H. C. Kinney
goes much of the credit for for
mulating plans under which the
system is to be operated. It is
another of recent movoB taken by
the University in improving Its
varied facilities.
Only Hacking is the inclusion of
fraternity and sorority houses in
the system whereby dormitory
students can contact them without
churge. It Is true that students
living in chapter houses may bo
loss benefltted than othors by the
plan, hut many Greeks in the dor
mitories would benefit by freo
phone connections If chapters co
operate.
Perhaps, should chapters them
selves be unwilling to bear the full
cost, the members living In dor
mitories could be induced to pool
15 or 20 cents a month to be able
to call the house without having
to use a pay station.
Now that the University has
taken the initiative, it is to be
hoped that the fraternities and
sororities wid 1 tind a way to fall
in line.
The University Needs
f \NE of the potentially most
^ ' profitable moves that the Uni
versity could make in assisting
Its various publications is the In
stallation of an engraving plant.
Week by week The Hed and
Black must secure its engravings
from a distance and at no little
expense during the year. The
same is true periodically for the
Arch, the Agriculturist, the Alum
ni Record, the University Items,
and especially the Pandora.
A plant to make cuts for all
these publications would naturally
be an expensive one. In the long
run, however, such a move would
pay for Itself without much trou
ble and be a great convenience to
all the publications.
The engraving plant Idea is cer
tainly one that should be kept In
mind.
The above vote upon a free dial
exchange was greatly altered when
the possibility of fee requirements
were included in the consideration.
Sensing this possibility, several
chapter houses voted to retain the
old system. They were Alpha
Omega PI, Alpha Lambda Tau,
Kappa Alpha, Delta Tau Delta,
and Chi Psi. Possibly an Indica
tion of the efficiency of present
service, Bradwell Hall was the
only dormitory to vote in disfavor
of the change.
Although both sorority houses
and fraternity houses voted nearly
the same, dissension with the new
■plan was higher In women's dor
mitories than in men's.
Free, or Not at All
An overwhelming vote of ap
proval was given the University's
proposal to expand the new dial
inter-campus exchange to include
student abodes through a poll by
the editors of The Hed and Black
last week on the question, "Would
you prefer a free Inter-campus dial
exchange to the present pay-tele
phone system?”
This enthusiasm was a demon
stration of appreciation for the
University’s improvement of the
general telephone system. But
when asked if they would pay a
regular fee for having the dial
exchange extended to their chapter
houses, members of fraternities
>8lid sororities declared they would
not make the change.
"As It now stands, the installa
tion of an extra dial exchange
would enable students living at
chapter houses to chit-chat with
their professors or with Univer
sity administrators without hav
ing to pay a nickle, but pay phones
of the Athens exchange would have
to be used to reach other chapter
houses and dormitories under the
present set-up.
"If the dial exchauge would re
quire the payment of fees each
month, we would prefer to remain
under the old system.”
This concensus of opinion among
fraternity and sorority members
was made last week In shrewd
forethought o£. the University's
next move. Authorities shortly af
terward announced the dial ex
change would be installed free In
each dormitory, and in some, on
each door, while chapter houses
would be required to pay a month
ly fee, or keep the nlckle-phones.
Harrier Cake Race
Will Be Run Friday
By Intramural Men
Athens Bakery to Award 25
Cakes to Winners in First
Cross-Country Derby
"The great Benson's cake race”
will be staged by intramural har
riers Friday at 5 p. m., according
to IJean William Tate, cross-country
coach. The two and one-half mile
course starts at the Polo Field, runs
along the river road, through Ag
campus, and back to the Polo Field.
Benson’s Bakery is donating 25
cakes, weighing 66 pounds and
ranging from 5 pounds down. The
first 15 upperclassmen and the first
10 freshmen to finish the course will
each receive one of these cakes.
A cup will he awarded to the win
ning fraternity, and a plaque to the
winning dormitory. The first five
men to cross the finish line for each
group will count, although others
may enter.
Dean Tate is hopeful for building
the cake race into one of the Univer
sity's leading attractions. Several
other leading southern colleges, in
cluding Auburn, have had such
events for several years, and they
annually attract hundreds of en
tries.
On the morning of the Georgia-
Tulune game, Nov. 13, the varsity
cross-country team is slated to meet
Mercer. At the same time the fresh
men are to be tested against G. M.
A. and Tech.
Both varsity and freshmen are
coached by Dean Tate, a former track
star at the University.

Assignments Made
For Case Practice
To Students of Law
Edmund Landau, Albany, adviser
to law clubs, announced today that
preparation for competitive law prac
tice among students of the Lump
kin Law School has begun.
Four law clubs, Toombs, Hill,
Morris and Cobb, have been formed
for the year and students were given
assignments Tuesday. Actual case
practice will begin Nov. 17 with fac
ulty members serving as judges and
senior students acting as advisers.
Two second-year students and one
first-year student compose the de
fense in each case. Cases will be
judged on the point system based on
the brief, argument and application
of law and the losing clubs will give
a party in honor of the winning club
next spring.
The five-fold purpose of the com
petitive practice, according to Lan
dau, is to familiarize students with
legal research, to give practice in
oral argument and presentation, to
learn the fundamental of drawing
up appellate briefs, to learn actual
legal knowledge and to learn the art
of working in teams.
"Much interest is being manifested
by students,” Director Landau said.
"I consider this competitive practice
an outstanding extra-curricular ac
tivity,” he said.

Ag Club. Should he accept the In
vitation, plans for a formal initiation
of Mr. Wallace will be made by the
organization.

Henderson*Walker . . .
(Continued from paxf 1)
I'm not afraid to speak my mind.
He Is a little too chivalrous. But I
know a man hates to be downed by
a woman twice.”
When asked If she might let this
alter her intentions to fight to the
last for the honor of the Old Pio
neers, she firmly said:
“I would not give an Inch Just
to let him win because he is a man."
When warned of this preparation
in tjie enemy's camp to glorify Mrs.
Roosevelt as the ideal First Lady,
the Major Walker last night resolute
ly said:
“Well, I reckon I better get busy
too. I'll talk about Mrs. Roosevelt's
speechmaking and travels.”
Like Alices in Wonderland, bio
logical science students attending
classes in the University’s New Le
Conte Hall discovered the three-
story structure a wonder house of
science.
"Chalk and blackboard” instruc
tion has had its day so far as stu
dents in this department are con
cerned, for they now learn the facts
of science in lantern projection
rooms, and cork-padded refrigerated
"constant temperature” cells, and by
experimenting with a menagerie of
white rats, crows, turtles and guinea
Pigs.
These are the modern features of
the campus’ brand new plant which
houses the zoology, botany and bac
teriology departments, in addition to
six large general laboratories, six
specialty laboratories, regular class
rooms and a lecture room with 200
seating capacity.
Delicate experiments in which
temperature must be constant are
possible in the “constant tempera
ture” cell, which is wirdowless, ce
ment-floored, and padded with 8-foot
cork walls, and which is electrically
equipped and provided with a ther
mostat.
For faculty and graduate students
a reading room on the second floor
is furnished with research material
and a world collection of scientific
journals.
Faculty members, who are kept
busy in spite of the numerous me
chanical professors, have for their
work-rooms comfortable and spacious
offices.
‘In our old building there were
live faculty members in a tiny corner
of the building," Dr. J. H. Boyd
head of the zoology department, de
clared recently.
That the new LeConte Hall is
equipped with "countless showers
for refreshing slightly weary profes
sors" was strongly repudiated by Dr
Boyd, who pointed out that "the only
touch of luxury was one shower to
be used after field trips and other
occupations where grime is the order
of the day.”
"After an afternoon of bat-hunt
ing in dirty attics, a shower is more
a necessity than a luxury,” he said.
A (landscaping plan for making
the building accessible from the
front entrance Is being completed.
Lawn space will be graded on a
continuous slope down to the road
in front.
Grass will be planted and two
walkways will be built to the en
trances.
