Question of the Hour;
Where is Creek Council
W HAT Ii ii h happened to tin* I'un-Hellenlc Coun
cil? Realization that tho council is lading
Into oblivion on the University campus has
been KrowinK on the students for some weeks and
tt Is time the QreekH not busy and stirred up Rome
activity unlcHH they wish to piirh out of the picture
altogether.
For the Inst few yeara the council hus been on
the downhill grade. Buck In the good old days
there wa» a atory for The Red und Black ultnoRt
. every week in regard to collective bargaining, fra
ternity mailing, etc. Now It seems that the sole
function of the council la to elect officers once a
year und sign two dunce banda for Homecoming and
Little Commencement dances.
And Hpeaklng of dance*—we noticed that Jan
Garber haa been signed for the mid-winter .lances
at Tech. I.UHt spring the Georgia council did u tine
Job In securing Glen Gray und the Caaa l.oiuu Or
chestra for Little Commencement but we wonder If
it will do as well this year. Unless It gets started
soon the big orchestras will have all their dates filled.
Presidency of the Pun-llollenle Council should be
u responsible position and one which will attempt to
promote better understanding and cooperation among
the fraternities. It is impossible, however, for the
president to obtain the desired results unless he is
aided by the members of the council und they are
in turn backed by their respective organizations.
The Pan-Hellenic Council a few years ago drew
up a set of rushing rules for fraternities but these
also seem lo have died out. If the council saw tit
to mnk.t these rules It should also enforce them and
collect lines when they are violuted.
We believe that the Pan-llellenlc Council lias
great possibilities to advance the standing of fra
ternities on the campus and If It takes advantage
of these opportunities the council cun be made into
a more worthwhile organization.
Strong Legs Will Dance
That Weak May Walk
Editor.
The Red and Black.
Dear Sir:
From time to time complaints
ure beard uhout the students of
the University hitch-hiking from
one class to another and to the
different campuses. I would like
to take this opportunity to bring
to mind how unappreciative many
of the students are of the "lifts”
the citizens of Athens give them.
There are certain corners tn
town where several times a day
the students flock to catch rides.
They take it as a matter of course
that they should be given a ride
and never think of the inconven
ience the driver may be going to
to help them.
Instead of the girls and boys
having some form of cooperation
and letting those who arrive first
have the tlrst ride, they stand and
argue while the driver patiently
waits. Often, after being picked
up, they answer questions flip
pantly and completely forget to
be courteous enough to say thanks
for the ride. They pile in over,
and on top of. everything and
completely ignore the driver.
It would help matters a lot If
the students would just remem
ber that they are being done u
favor and at least be courteous
to whomever is kind enough to
pick them up.
Sincerely,
L. L. D.

scooper. Jimmie Fidler, is being
sued by Connie Bennett for the
very nominal sum of (250.000.
Maybe that's the reason his last
program was so "goody-goody''—
and incidentally so uninteresting.

is a coming orchestra—take it

S IMILAR to the unnuul Thanksgiving foothull
classic between the Georgia und Tech freshmen i
is the President's birthday ball which will be *
held Thursday night tn Woodruff Hall.
The slogan for the charity tilt given for the ben-
eflt of the Scottish Rite llospitul In Atlunta" is
“Strong legs will run that weak legs may walk."
Although tt is not used in connection with the
Roosevelt ball a similar slogan, "Strong legs will
dance that weak legs may walk,” could be applied to
this affair.
Funds received from the dunce will, like those
from the rest of the nation's many dances, go to the
prevention and cure of infantile paralysis in Geor
gia and other parts of the United States where the
disease is prevalent. And the majority of the
money received In Georgia will remain "at home"
for It wilt be used on the Warm Springs Foundation.
Students will be given ample opportunity to do
their part in support of the paralysis campaign.
Couples may attend the dance for 50 cents while
co-eds and persons who do not wish to dance, will
be given a chance to purchase special birthday but
tons.
A project which is really worthwhile and which
will afford something to do on an otherwise dull
night, the President's birthday ball should receive
the whole-hearted support of the student body.
The Hit Dog Hollers
Following the publication of an editorial last week
directed against a certain department of the Uni
versity that group has denied that it was responsible
for starting rumors detrimental to the Community
Concert Series and the sale of tickets to students.
Which all goes to show that the old adage, "the hit
dog hollers," still holds true.
As was pointed out before, President Caldwell is
working for things which will be of benefit to the
University and the students, and the University and
the students in turn should cooperate with him.
Although the rumor might have been untrue, as the
department to which it was credited claimed, it was
evidently started by someone in authority or it would
not have spread as it did.
The second in the Concert series will be presented
here February 1 and if students really wish to co
operate with the president they will have an oppor
tunity to do so by attending this program.

and then how the prediction

Down With the Book Thieves!
The disappearance of books from the General Li
brary is becoming a problem for University author
ities aud something should be done to stop the un
authorized “book borrowers” that are responsible.
Because of limited space in the reading rooms,
students are allowed to go back into the stacks to
study. Some of these persons do more than study—
they take the books from the shelves and carry them
out of the library without signing the customary
slip at the desk.
It seems that some system should be worked out
that would allow only those students behind the
desk that have research work to do. Others desiring
books in the stacks could obtain them through the
library assistants. An accurate check is kept on
books available at the reserve desk and it seems that
some similar method could be used in connection
with the main library. Books are expensive and the
University cannot afford to buy them for all would-
be owners.
Georgia Arch Grows Up
And so the Georgia Arch is three years old.
Last Friday it came out with a new editor, a re
vised format, a new type face and an anniversary
issue.
During its two years on the campus the Arch has
made great strides and now promises to be a publi
cation creditable to the University. At times the sail
ing has been hard for the staff, harder than the read
ers realize.
The success of the reading material in the maga
zine has been due to the efforts put forth by the
editorial staff. But there is another phase, the
business end of the publication, which has been well
managed and accounts to a large extent for the
Arch’s expansion.
Godspeed, Miss Moina
Announcement has come from the office of Dean
Ellen P. Rhodes that Miss Moina Michael, long-time
matron of Winnie Davis Hall, has retired from active
service at the University.
Nationally famous as the “Poppy Lady," Miss
Moina has acquired a host of friends in connection
with her work as matron. The Red and Black takes
this opportunity to express its appreciation to Miss
Moina for her faithful service to the University.
A Year Ago and Now
A date bureau then listed 75 “victims." but Fern
Buggs can better that by now—and I wouldn’t ex
actly call them victims.
