Students Must Pay
For Heat They Don’t Get
U NIVERSITY official* I nut week decided that in
the future organizations must pay a fee of
122.60 for the uae of Woodruff Hall for xocial
functions. Ah an explanation for thin charge they
listed the expenses which are Incurred each time the
hall is used for a dance.
The majority of the expousoH listed ure probably
corroct, but one of them, the 16 charge for heating
tho hall, HoeinM to he out of proportion to the amount
of heat furnished At several recent dancea It has
been necessary for couples to dunce with their wraps
on because It was too cold in the building to remove
them.
If the University Is going to force fraternities,
sororities, and other campus organizations to pay
thlH fee, it should make more adequate provisions
for heating the building. Also the group that pays
the fee should he given the privilege of obtaining
the use of the hall long enough In advance to pre
pare decorations for the function. It Is hardly fair
to ask that the persons puylng for the use of the
ball be forced to wait until after a basketball game
or a boxing match on tho night of the dance before
they ean begin lo decorate.
Only one other building on the campus is available
for large dances and this Ib the Physical Education
Building. A foe of 92B is charged for the use of
this hall, aud no list of the so-called minimum ex
penses is available. Some provision should he made
so that this building could be used for dances at a
cheaper rate than now exists.
New Question of the Hour:
What is Wrong With Fraternities?
W KI.U, the Pan-Hellenic Council did wake up,
after all. Coming out of hibernation laHt
Monday the council held its tlrst meeting for
the year and discussed several measures which have
caused fraternities to sit up and take Interest.
Again on Wednesday the council met and mem
bers brought back reports on the various suggestions
from their respective fraternities. Some were favor
able, some were unfuvoruble, and some were merely
obstinate. The main trouble now seems to lie not
with the council itself hut with Individual fraterni
ties that are represented on the group.
Politics, of course, is at the bottom of the whole
thing. Every fraternity is so ufruid thftt another
fraternity is going to come out a little better that
they refuse to work us a group and are constantly
pulling against each other. If the fraternity men us
a whole could forget politicB for a little while the
council could be put on a reliable and workable basis.
The main point holding up action of the council
now la the suggestion that the president be put on
a salary and that finances be handled through the
University treasury department. This would, accord
ing to the author of the suggestion, cut down ou the
"graft" that the president is supposed to get every
year.
Another point, which Is more or less dependent on
the above, Is the plan to have every fraternity man
purchase a ticket for the Friday night Pan-Hellenic
dance. This seems only right, for it is the fraternity
men. and not the campus men, who get the benefits
of halonging to fraternities and they should in turn
nhure some of the burdens. In previous years u few
of the fraternities have borne the load of paying for
orchestras Under this plan each fraternity would
do Its share Provision has also been made for men
not desiring to attend the dancea to dispose of their
tickets and thus assure them of not being stuck with
tickets which they can not use.
Tho council has done ita part and gotten to work.
It is now up to the fraternities and fraternity men
to do their pari We await with great anticipation
to see what the outcome will be
THE RED AND BLACK, FRIDAY. JANUARY 28, 1938.
Letters
And
Furthermore
By the Editor
Editor, Red and Black.
Dear Sir:
Your editorial of Jan. 21 was
justified and timely. True the
Council has been virtually inac
tive for the past few months. This
fact is admitted without excuse.
However, this inactivity has not
been without benefit. Its service
has been to inform the fraternity
men how the Council has degener
ated into little more than a glori-
lled (lance committee.
The various groups represented
on the Council, realizing how
much room there was for improve
ment. passed, at the Jan. 26 meet
ing, much progressive legislation,
showing that the Council is not
dead* but rather, overseeing itself,
and taking notice of its possibili
ties. The rules adopted were a
general composite of the better
ideHK taken frem various Inter-
Praternlty groups in the South.
Our present aim is to strengthen
thd Council from within before at
tempting to branch out its activi
ties. Now, that much of their re
organization has been actually ac
complished. we intend to justify
and to regain our former prestige
on the campus.
The Pan-Hellenic Council rep
resents 17 organized groups and
over 700 individual fraternity men.
So it is easily seen that with or
ganization and cooperation without
political, factiifns and differences
it can he u most potent factor in
student affairs.
It can promote scholarship,
bring about better relations be
tween the various fraternities, and
between the fraternities and the
University,
Through the social functions
sponsored by It, many pleasant and
heiietlcial contacts may be made.
The Pan-Hellenic, if it functions
properly, can lie of great benefit to
the students and the University.
With this in mind, the Greek
Council intends to show all can-
cerned that itH potential powers
are unlimited, and that it is not
dead, but very much alive to its
rights and duties.
Sincerely,
PETE LATIMER,
(Pres. Pan-Hellenic Council).
Hodgson and Dodd Score Again
Continuing his efforts tci bring better music to the
University and to impress on students the value of
the finer things of life, Hugh Hodgson will present
a musical festival next week for the benefit of, Geor
gia students. In conjunction with the two day music
program. Lamar Dodd will sponsor two art exhib
its.
From time to time The Red and Black has heaped
praise upon the head of Mr. Hodgson, and it will
continue to do so as long as he continues to build
up the Interest in music which he has started among
students. It should be remembered that Mr. Hodg
son has taken time to arrange this program, which
is somewhat similar to his weekly music apprecia
tion hours, during time which he could devote to
his own pleasure. He is putting forth every effort to
help the University and the students should show
their appreciation by attending the music festival.
Also not to be overlooked for the improvements
which he has made in the art department of the
University, is the work of Mr. Dodd. Since his
arrival on the Georgia campus last fall there has
been a greatly increased interest in art among the
students and he is largely responsible for this.
“Mumble-Peg” for Freshmen
After observing the antics of some of the fresh
men and even the so-called "sophisticated sopho
mores" at their weekly chape] meetings, one wonders
if they were brought up in civilized homes. From
their actions—and by actions we don’t mean bodily
movements alone, but also the noises they make—
it seems that they would be more at home at a three-
ring circus.
Courtesy should be one of the first prerequisites
of p gentleman, and University students are certainly
supposed to be just that. If a student is so bored
that he can not bear to listen to the speaker the very
least he can do is to go to sleep and not, like the
classic example observed recently, sit on the front
row and play "mumble-peg" on the chapel carpet
with his knife.
And Again, Concert Series
In order that even more students may take ad
vantage of the "cultural course” being offered here
on Tuesday night the price of tickets to the two re
maining programs in the Community Concert series
has been reduced to $1. This was done for a two
fold purpose—to give students an opportunity to
attend the two concerts at a reduced price and also
to help President Caldwell dispose of some more of
the tickets which he purchased to sell to University
students.
Latest reports indicate that the parties trying to
discourage the sale of the tickets have withdrawn
their objections and are now willing to admit that
the series this year is up to the standard of that
given last year.
Rhythm Rambling
By It. It.
There's music in the air as Col.
Joe (5. Gillespie announces Reggie
Childs to carry the tuue for the
soldiers at the Military Ball; as
Pandora acquires a radio for its
afternoon staff meetings; as the
University recreates with three
dances after a week in the pursuit
of learning.
Sophisticates! Read this, hut
don't weep. Radio audiences
cheered and applauded that Jaunty
little gentleman of the screen.

program. Micky aud his pals,

And with Micky. Minnie, Don
ald Duck. Pluto the Pup, and the
Goof, Disney again confounded the
wiseacres who said his original
Micky would he a Hop, who said
his full-length feuture cartoon
would be a flop, who said his tech
nicolor idea would be a flop, and
who said most recently that put
ting Micky on the air couldn’t be
done with success.
John Garter becomes a star
overnight as he replaces Nelson
Eddy on the Chase and Sanborn
Hour Sunday night. Carter, an
unknown tenor, is a 26-year-old
New Yorker who had his first sing
ing lesson a year and a half ago.
Eddy goes on concert tour.
Maxine Sullivan who did such
swell vocals for the swing record
ings of “Annie Laurie.” "Loch
Lomond." and “I’m Coming, Vir
ginia." has another in "My Darling

credit for her success is due Claude
Thornhill who does her arrang
ing and gives the distinctive touch
in the background rhythm of his
tinkling piano.
Paper Praises Departing I.ampe
The following passages are taken from a front
page editorial of the Carroll Echo, student publica
tion of Carroll College, Waukesha. Wisconsin:
To eulogize Coach E. A. Lampe as the Carroll
mentor quickly exhausts the word store of this
Carroll senior. His record stands as a monu
ment for his years on the Carroll campus.
His success Is not bom of loud ranting, kicks,
and cussing, whether It be on the court, grid
iron. of track—his is the role of the complete
gentleman at all times. Coarh Lampe's interest
has always been in his boys—on the field and
off. His point of view of athletics Is the high
est. Character is mirrored and developed through
the attitude he has instilled.
We’ll miss that long frame of his. his win
ning way, his sincere smile and words, but we’re
glad for the break he is getting.
So long. Coach Lampe. and here's wishing you
the best of everything in all you undertake
A Year Ago and Now
Drawling, bespectacled Thomas J McRae, named

Sugar Creek," is reading Broun, Pegler, and Carter
on company time of the South’s Standard but out
dated newspaper, the Constitution, where he does
hlg yawning on the sports make-up desk.
Gullible Georgia students rouse from their stupor
of laziness long enough to read that arch rival
Georgia Tech has signed Rippling Rhythm Shep
Fields and Kay Kyser for mid-winter frolics, and
one year later are wondering if the inefficient Geor
gia Pan-Hell Council will luckily stumble over
something in the way of noise for the Little Com
mencement dances that is of haH the highgrade cal
iber.
Urbane sophisticate John E. Drewry, director of

Initiation ceremonies of the snooty, but never
