THE RED AND BLACK, FRIDAY, FEBRUARY 18, 1938.
Officials Sanction Coronation
Of Living Bulldog As Mascot
Ceremonies Are Tentatively
Scheduled for First Foot-
hall Game in Fall
Rod and black fanfare will dazzle-
fans watching Georgia's razzle-dazzle
at the first home football game next
fall when a live Bulldog will be offi
cially crowned mascot of the Univer
sity's ferocious eleven.
Administration and athletic offi
cials voiced today their whole-heart
ed approval and support of a plan
to hold a coronation for a live bull
dog while the band struts between
halves.
According to their plans a Bcroll
will be presented to Pres. Harmon
W. Caldwell petitioning the canine's
official recognition “on this, the be
ginning of the I Kth yeur since the
(Jeorgia team approved the bulldog
as their mascot."
The players voted their approval
some time after a great victory over
Alabama, and Morgan Blake, sports
editor of the Atlanta Journal, is
credited as the first writer to dub
the Georgia team with the name of
that ferocious canine.
“Crimson Tide has ebbed into the
West, and the Georgia Bulldog struts
unconquered among his native hills,"
NETTLED!
John R. Marsh. Iiiislinnil of
"Gone With the Wind" Margaret
Mitchell, seem* to have definitely
■cttled the Bulldog argument In
November, mail.
A by-line story hearing his
iiaiue in the Atlanta Journal said
that the animal was officially n|>-
proved us mascot at tliul time in
a Piillmnii-cnr caucus of players,
coaches, and the athletic din-dor
en route to Cluirlottesville, Va.,
for a game with the University of
\irginlu. The story's subhead
n-ud “They're Bulldogs Now."
Using tills article as the most
concrete cvhlcnro yet pn-Ndili-d,
close followers of the argument
have finally decliletl as follows: the
name was used unofficially before
IIVJO; It was officially approved
In November, IIMSO; an official
i-onuuition is yd to In- held.
Blake wrote of the 42 to 21 victory.
Prof W. O. Payne, director of
athletics: Coach II J Stegeman; 1„
I.. Ilondren, dean of administration,
and William Tate, dean of fresh
men. were enthusiastic today over
the plans for adopting a bulldog to
strut before the band at all future
gnriies.
"I was a freshman when they first
decided to adopt the Bulldog," Dean
Tut** said. “Mom! of I ho proHout g(«n-
erution don't know that our mas
cot hasn't been the Bulldog since
lime immemorial."
He suggested that u decorated
float be escorted through town and
brought upon the field during the half
of the first home game to be draped
in royal purple or rather, red and
black.
"I think it is a good Idea to have
a formal recognition of the mascot."
Dean Hendren said.
Quinton Lumpkin, captain of the
.18 football team, said the presence
of the live animal will improve the
lighting spirit of his men. and that
the caged beast would be an attrac
tion for visitors lo this campus.
Lumpkin said the team had an un
recognized mascot four years ago
which was paraded at some of the
games He says
"The boys thought so much of it
that they let him eat in the Beanery,
so we were not allowed to keep
him."

Phi Kappa Favors
Legal Sterilization
For Social Misfits
Society Will Uphold Opposite
Side in Written Debate
With DemoHthenian
Phi Kappans voted for sterilization
of social delinquents in an informal
debate Wednesday night, although
the society has elected to oppose that
stand In a written debate with
Demosthenian in the Georgia Arch.
"The preliminary debate was held
merely to bring out weak points in
our argument, and was judged solely j
on delivery," Byron Mathews. At- [
lanta, president, explained.
Don Wilder, Savannah, and Frank f
Corry, Tifton, upheld the contention
that sterilization of social delin
quents would be beneficial to the
United States, with James Hacke,
Athens, and Walter Fulmer. Savan
nah, opposing.
"Sterilization operations are sim
ple. They take only 16 to 20 min
utes and do not remove any glands
or tissue. That they are safe is
proved by the existence of great num
bers of sterile persons,” said Corry,
for the affirmative.
Hacke. speaking for the negative,
asked, “Who will define a social de
linquent? Who has the right to
judge, and who will say what man
shall be sterilized?”
"Sterilization leaves a man in
good health, and in possession of all
his physical functions. The Romans
left their delinquents on a moun
tain side to die, but we are preserv
ing the weak in our nation when we
could safely weed them out,” Wilder
brought out for the affirmative.
Fulmer, continuing for the nega
tive, said, "Information on heredity
is not complete enough to say arbi
trarily whether or not a man must
be sterilized. May we not be de
stroying great men before they arc
born?"

Lowell Cumming, Cordele, was
elected to succeed Morris Abram,
Fitzgerald, as president of the Inter
national Relations Club Thursday
night.
