Number 22— Zlrtfl.
Gilbert Farrar
Will Be Guest
At Press Meet
Typographical Expert to Ap
pear Under Sponsorship
of Atlanta Journal
The man who has “lifted the face”
of the Atlanta Journal through "re
styling” its typography, will be one
of the important speakers of the 1938
Press Institute at the University of
Georgia.
He is Gilbert P. Farrar, one of the
best known typographers in the
United States, who will address the
Institute three times Feb. 25. He
comes to the Institute as the guest
of the Journal.
Mr. Farrar’s first appearance will
be at 11:30 in the University Chap
el.
He will also address a luncheon
to be given in honor of Institute
guests by the Atlanta Journal. At
3:30 Mr. Farrar will discuss news
paper typography at a special round
table gathering of editors and other
newspaper workers.
Speakers Scheduled
The several hundred Georgia
newspaper men and women who at
tend the Institute each year will
also hear B. C. Forbes, editor and
publisher of Forbes Magazine and
writer of a nationally syndicated
column on business and finance,
guest of the Atlanta Georgian; W.
W. Loomis, president of the Na
tional Editorial Association and na
tional honorary president of Sigma
Delta Chi, and Bruce McCoy, asso
ciate professor of the School of
Journalism, Louisiana State Univer
sity, and field manager of the Lou
isiana Press Association.
National recognition in the field
of newspaper typography came to
Mr. Farrar recently for his re-styl-
ing of 10 American newspapers and
two magazines. The Los Angeles
Times—“the world’s first stream
lined newspaper”—won the national
Ayer award for excellence in typo
graphy in 1937. Third place in the
same competition was given another
Farrar-designed paper, the Des
Moines Tribune.
Papers Restyled
Other publications whose typo
graphy is the work of Mr. Farrar
are the Worcester Telegram, the To
ledo News-Bee, the Dayton Journal,
the Dayton Herald, the Honolulu
Star-Bulletin, the United States
News, Editor and Publisher, and
Look magazine.
‘ Re-styling,” as Mr. Farrar has
designated his newspaper treatment,
abandons the conventional, standar
dized forms of news display which
vary little from day to day, and sub
stitutes a typographical dress which
changes to suit the day's news. It
is also designed for easier reading.
‘"A new dress for every day,” was
the phrase the typographer used re
cently in describing his re-styling.
“A news dress for every day. What
the—I mean, the same thing in the
way of news doesn’t happen in the
same way every day, does it? Then
why dress it up the same way?”
Associate Editor of Liberty
Is Chapel Speaker Monday
DeLoss Walker, associate editor of
Liberty magazine, public speaker,
and one-time American champion In
the running broad jump, will discuss
"human relations" in the Chapel
Monday at 10:30 a. m.
Known as "the Billy Sunday of
business,” Walker has spoken before
audiences as varied as the many
thousands of an open air meeting
and the few of a breakfast confer
ence. He is an extensive contributor
on recovery subjects to trade mag
azines.
His theme will include public un
derstanding—"a problem rooted in
human nature, in people, in differ
ences of background and outlook
which vary as widely as the very
prints of their fingers.”

"It’s too much,” was, in slightly
varying tones, the general cry
which greeted the announcement of
a $22.50 fee to be imposed on groups
holding dances in Woodruff Hall.
Approval of the measure, however,
was voiced by presidents <ff two
groups.
Declaring that a building owned
by a state-supported institution
should be operated without profit,
some leaders went even further to
say that there should be no charges
assessed.

clubs are doing the University a

A music festival, featuring spe
cial concerts and discussion of mus
ical problems, will be presented by
the University department of music
hefe February 2 and 3 for musicians
of the state.
Under the direction of Hugh Hodg
son, the program will include three
appearances of the Stradlvarius

Chalmers Will Talk
To VRA Assembly
Lancaster, A. T. O. president, decried
the move as contrary to the spirit
of a state supported and maintained
university.
“None of the University’s func
tions are supposed to be profit-mak
ing—that is, at the students’ ex
pense. This seemingly unjust fee,
however, appears to be Just that.”
Assuming a middle-of-the-road
stand, Cleone Jackson and Pete Lat
imer, presidents of the Pan-Hellenic
groups, conceded that some charge
should be made for use of the build
ing, but declared $22.50 to be ex-
horbitant.
"$IO Fee Sufficient”
"There should be a fee charged,
but under the present conditions
$10 should be quite adequate to take
care of the operating expenses of a
single dance.”
George Spence and Waddy McGin-
ty. Kappa Alpha and S. A. E. lead
ers, considered the fee reasonable—
“in view of prices that are paid in
Atlanta for dance halls.” McGinty
added “. . . that is, if it Isn’t found
upon closer examination that the
University is actually realizing a
profit from the charges.”
Bobby Knox, Senior Law president,
agreed with Jackson and Latimer
that $10 was an adequate fee.
A series of social functions, ar
ranged for the festival, include a
reception in Memorial Hall spon
sored by the University and the Uni
versity Women’s Club Thursday
night, and a tea in Phi Kappa liall
Thursday afternoon.
Two art exhibits under the dlrec-
tion of Lamar Dodd will also be held
in conjunction with the festival
Representatives expected from
over the entire state will assemble
Wednesday afternoon for registra-
tion in Phi Kappa Hall. Wednesday
afternoon, at 4:30, the quartet will
present selections by Ravel and
Schonberg and that night Miss Heck
er will sing. Thursday the quartet
will again play during the morning,
and the afternoon will be devoted
to round-table discussions of prob
lems in music teaching. The quartet
will present its final group of selec
tions Thursday night with the as
sistance of Mr. Hodgson during por
tions of the program.
Since seating capacity for the con
certs will be limited, students de
siring to attend are advised to secure
free passes from members of the
music department.
The festival will be a continuation
of the music programs presented
weekly by Robert Harrison and Mr
Hodgson.
‘Distinctive' Black Cravat
Marks *Distinctive’ Class
Law School Juniors will here
after don a black string tie on
Tuesdays as u "distinctive mark
of a distinguished class."
The custom, started this week,
was begun by the class as an out
ward demonstration of the fra
ternal feeling of men who have
worked and fought together, ac
cording to the statement of one
of its members. When the Btrings
appeared lust woek, common be
lief was that they were only the
symbols of an initiation rite.
The faculty apparently entered
into the spirit of the thing when
one of the professors, presented
with a black bow, substituted it
in cluss for the more conventional
cravat he was wearing.

This Young Georgia Classical Violinist
Admits Liking for Popular Music, Dates
Hy Louis Griffith
"Sure, I like popular music,"
smiled Robert Harrison, student
violinist. “And I like to play it,
too,” he added.
“Bob,” as he is known on the
campus, has been playing the violin
since he was nine years old. He
bears the distinction of being one of
the first three students to receive
scholarships from the fine arts de
partment of the University, and also
that of making three broadcasts over
the Columbia Broadcasting System.
“I’ve broken up eight or nine fid
dles,” he replied when asked how
many violins he had used since start
ing, "but I have been using this one
for about three years,” he stated,
patting the instrument on his shoul
der.
Born in Hazlehurst, Robert has
lived in Macon, Atlanta, and Jack
sonville, Fla., and has attended
schools in all of these cities. While
he was in Florida, his playing won
a scholarship to a Maine camp, but
he has never taken advantage of it.
He has won several other scholar
ships and has placed first in the
School of the Air violin concerts two
years in succession.
Noted for his interpretations of j
long passages from the classics, Bob (
says he doesn’t know how he re
members them . . . “but it must be
Just a habit, I guess.”
“Dad plays the violin a little and
Mother plays the piano,” said Bob.
“I don’t know Just how I started
playing the violin, but my first fiddle
cost $10.”
At first he practiced only an hour
a day, but now he averages three
hours of practice.

Reggie Childs and his 17 piece or
ganization will furnish the music for
the annual Military Ball which will
he held March 4, in Woodruff Hall,
Joe Gillespie, Savannah, colonel of
the University It. O. T. C. brigade,
announced today.
The Childs aggregation, signed last
week through Federal Radio Artists,
Inc., includes a trio of girl vocalists
known as the Three Youngsters in
addition to the 14 piece band.
Flans for the decorations of the
hall are being completed rapidly
under the direction of Colonel Gil
lespie, and announcement concern
ing the no-breaks and other arrange
ments for the dance will be made at
an early date.
A brigade review for the presenta
tion of sponsors will be held on the
Polo Field on the afternoon of the
Ball. Sponsors of each organization,
down to and including the companies
in the Infantry and the troops In the
Cavalry will be presented. Follow
ing this ceremony the brigade will
pass in review before the officers
and their sponsors.
The Ball will be strictly formal

If the proposal brought up at
Wednesday's session of the Pan-
Hellenic Council meets the approval
of both University officials and the
Greeks themselves, the president of
the Council will for the first time
n the history of tho school be paid
strictly on a salary basis.
The plan, which has been formu
lated to provide on official check
on the Income and output of the
governing board of the fraternities,
is expected to be submitted to the
University administration in the near
future, and immediately afterward
will be returned to the Pan-Hellenic
Council for further action.
"Cut" Would lti< Abolished
A favorable vote by both Univer
sity officials and the council will
result in the plan being put into
effect, and will mean that no longer
will tho Greek prexy take a cut, the
size of which is known only by him
self, from the receipts of the Home
coming and Little Commencement
dances.
Meanwhile, dates for the Little
Commencement dances have been
set for either the first or second
week-end In April. Monk Arnold,
Atlanta, vice-president of the coun
cil, has stated that possibilities of
having either Hal Kemp or Tommy
Dorsey furnish the music for the oc
casion are favorable.
Several important rules were
passed hy tho council Wednesday
and others are up for consideration.
In order to insure the attendance
of representatives, the constitution
wus amended to impose a fine of
$ 1 for absences from meetings.
Affecting each chapter was the
amendment providing that a fine of
$10.00 he imposed on fraternities
for debts owed the council for a peri
od of more than ten days, the fine
not to exceed the amount of the
debt. , If the tine is not paid within
30 days, suspension will result un
til such time as the debt shall he
paid.
Ticket Pui-cIiohc
Action on a proposal that frater
nity members and pledges be requir
ed to buy a ticket for the Friday
night Pan-Hellenic dance is pend
ing the decision of individual fra
ternities.
In order that the business of the
council might be transacted more
quickly, the fraternities voted to
give their representatives the power
to act for them In all matters except
hose which seriously affect the mem
bers.
A printed, framed copy of tho con
stitution of the council will be pre
sented to the fraternities to be dis
played prominently In order that
fraternity men might know the rules
