Janies liacke, Athens, said that
gunpowder had been necessary for
modern engineering. "Without It
man would still be working with his
crude instruments In an effort to lay
a foundation for a race," he de
clared.
Donald Wilder, Savannah, claimed
Columbus would have been burled
unknown in an age before gunpow
der, and through it all the advances
in the arts and sciences have been
made possible.
Tommy Cawthorn, Atlanta, termed
gunpowder the "weak link in the
chain of progress.” saying, "Gun
powder will ultimately lead to the
destruction of the race."
Ernest Vandiver, Lavonia, com
pared the number of lives lost in wars
fought with gunpowder with those
before Its time.
"Is this to be considered a benefit
which has as Its price the lives of
millions and which results in the
sacrifice of the world's finest men?"
he asked.

should be made through the office of
Dr. It. P. Stephens, dean of the
Graduate School.
Dean J. Alton lloscli of the Law
School entertained members of the
Pre-Legnl Club, student body, and
faculty of the Law School Sunday
afternoon from fi to 7 o’clock with a
tea at his home at 530 S. MUledge
avenue.
Hugh Hodgson, director of the
Fine Arts Department, uppeared in
a piano recital Tuesday night in
Ainericus under the auspices of the
music teachers of that city. Includ
ed on the program were two of Mr.
Hodgson’s compositions, recently off
the press, "The Itchuaway Dance”
and "Polka Dots."
Dr. Milton P. .larnagin, head of
the animal husbandry department,
has been Invited to speak at the an
nual convention of the Tennessee
Jackstock Breeders’ Association to
be held at Columbia. Tennessee, on
Jan. 27 His topic will be “The
Place of Jacks and Mules In South
ern Agriculture."
uution took a heavy toll last June
when ’’.Spec’’ Towns, Burch Wilcox,
Maurice Green, and Harry Harman
hung up their spikes and became
alnmni. Packard, a double winner
in the conference carnival last May,
was rounted on heavily to defend
the Bulldogs’ sprint superiority dur
ing the coming season.
Fortunately, Georgia has an able
trio of dashmen that promise to rank
high among Dixie's best. Oliver
Hunnicutt, who defeated Perrin
Walker, national 100 miter cham
pion, will probably be the most de
pendable of the three. Harry Stevens
and Jack Robinson, point-winnters in
the conference century race, will
give the Bulldogs a formidable trio
that should win the majority of
points In the two shorter dashes.
In the 4 40 yard dash, there 1s no
single outstanding runner. Buster
Matthews, of last year’s squad, and
Jimmy Jones, a sophomore of fine
promise, are the principal candidates.
" Distance Runners
For the first time In many years,
Georgia has two distnnee runners bf
merit. Joe Gillespie, who has ne
gotiated the half mile in 1.57, has
alreudy begun trulning for the 1938
season. Kentucky's Dave Rogan
barely defeated the soft-striding Sa-
vannahan for the Southeastern title
In 1987, and this year’s battle be
tween the two should be equally
close,
Henry Fredericksen, versatile lit
tle runner from New Jersey, can run
any distance from the half-mile up
to the two mile in a time that would
win the average Southern dual meet.
Just what instances Fredericksen
will run is not known to date, al
though It is almost a certainty that
he will compete in the mile event.
Several members of the cross-coun
try squad might strengthen the pow
er of Georgia in the greater runs. «
In the hurdles, the loss of "Spec”
Towns will be obvious enough.
With two world champions coaching
track, a formidable hurdler, how
ever, might be developed from the
available material. Vassa Cate has
taken the ten “sticks" under 16 sec
onds several times, and with a mite
more experience, should rival his
tutors, Baskin and Towns. Harold
(Monk) Arnold, one of the best low-
hurdlers in the South, should have
no trouble winning the longer hur
dle race. Two sophomores that have
exhibited varsity quality are Dick
Tomlin and Clinton Preble.
Arnold Beet Jumper
Arnold, besides performing over
the hurdles, is Georgia's best broad-
jumper and high-jumper. He should
win both of these events in the ma
jority of the dual meets and place
very high in conference compe
tition. Harry Stevens. Knox El-
dredge, and Jimmy Fordham are
others broad jumpers who have
cleared over 22 teet. A1 Wooten and
Clinton Preble promise to ably aid
Arnold in the event. Wooten is the
only outstanding pole-vaulter on the
squad since Tom McDaniel—who
vaulted nearly 12, feet last year as a
junior—is attending West Point.
Georgia will suffer greatly In the
weight events by the loss of Greene
and Harman. As a result Captain
Quinton Lumpkin will literally “have
his hands full" as he shall be the
number one man in both the shot
and discus events. Jimmy Fordham
and Albert deCharleroi should prove
their ability in the above events,
also. George (Red) Salisbury should
go undefeated with the javelin in
dual meets.
Lighting will be improved 70
per cent in the rooms of Joe Brown
Dormitory after illuminating de
fects, found by Business Manager
B. C. Kinney's experiments, have
been corrected. The rooms are
to be painted cream to improve the
lighting effect.
With the aid of a "foot-candle"
meter, containing a photo-electric
cell, Mr. Kinney found students
to have extremes in their light
ing equipment. For studying, 10
to 25 foot-candles are ideal.
Rooms in Joe Brown average 3
foot-candles in daylight and the
shaded lamps give 2U0 foot-can
dles.
Pi Chapter of Kappa Pi, national
honorary art fraternity, has offered
an award to the student in the Uni
versity art department who renders
the most unselfish service to his fel
low students.
