Pro Bono Publico Gives
Other Side ot Band Question
The editor is always glad to present both sides
of a question and It Is with pleasure that he turns
over part of his space this week to a letter from a
University student which presents “the other side
of the picture" in the bund situation.
Editor, Red and Black.
Dear Sir;
Reference Is made to your editorial of Iasi week,
concerning the University band.
The article In question is subject to criticism only
in that It asks the Impossible. When green freshmen
come in during the fall, they have very often had
no band experience, and It Is necessary to begin with
fundamentals. Unfortunately, there Is no time for
fundamentals. The first practice is usually three
days before the first game, and it is next to Impossi
ble to work out any sort of order before that time.
At the beginning of the second week. lab conflicts
begin. Chemistry, and Physics labs Interfere greatly
with band practice. The result Is that there Is never
a full complement of bandsmen for a practice.
Sufficient funds have been allocated to the hand
to puy upperclassmen, and the administration has
been very generous with Wouey. The provision of
these funds has increased both the size and the
quality of the band during the past two years, and
a continued Improvement la forecast.
The military department is assisting as much as
possible by taking the freshmen for additional classes
to teach them the school 'of the soldier. Un
fortunately. that does not teach them the school of
the band; and the fundamentals referred to above
muat still be taught. -
You mentioned the fact that bandsmen played for
athletic events without credit. It Is reliably re
ported that for each event, a credit is given for one
practice, so that It the band plays for a basketball
game, one practice is called off In its place.
The University does not have a band such as
L. 8. U., and the expense of such a band Is prohib
itive with the money available. Every effort has
been made to do the best with what Is available, and
it U hoped that the Improvement registered within
the past year or two will continue.

Letters
Editor, The Red and Black:
Harassed had the right idea last
week In regard to uninvited guests
staggering into parties and social
functions. I think something
should be done In regard to in
formally dressed people attending
social formal dances.
I feel that formal dances should
not be held witless formality can
he carried throughout. One in
formally dressed person can enter
a formal dance and by modern eti
quette. the dance Is no longer for
mal.
I have been to several formal
dances here and have noticed
quite a number of people dressed
In civilian clothes. I went dressed
that way one time and I felt as
conspicuous as a lighthouse in a
fog. I think something should be
done about this matter.
, Signed,
X.
It gives us untold pleasure
to learn that at least one stu
dent has Hiieh an excellent know
ledge of modern etiquette. We
are also glad X understands
the band situation but that let
ter. as well as the one on Pan-
Hellenic Council, was too long
for publication.—Ed.

"It was there I knew that you

There is a certain swing to
"Down by the Old Mill Stream”
that simply (Its in with beer and
cheese and good fellowship. The
song was composed 27 years ago
on the hanks of a beautiful little
Ohio river, gay and clear. Fish
played in its deep pools, children
swam in it, and lovers strolled
nlong its hanks.
Changes came. The willows
were cut and the gruss on the
hanks died; factories spewed their
tilth In the old mill stream. And
tho little river caught up bitter
tears from Composer Tell Taylor.
For the girl “dressed In gingham”

for prison garb, and became the
empress of charlatans.
But the song hqs not changed.
It doesn't seem to mutter that the

And Furthermore
By the Editor
Compare These Facts!
Spirited senior students exhausted their last re
course this week In their fight to keep financial pro
cedure In the hands of students. Whatever the de
cision President Harmon W. Caldwell now makes, we
do not believe the ring company will make a profit
able sale by any distribution other than through the
secretary of the senior class.
After crashing the senior class meeting and con
ferring with President Caldwell, representatives of
the Herft-Jones Company, present contractor, told
Class President Gaines that students could not over
ride the administration's decision and sell the ring
of another company because of contracts and copy
rights. Both H. M. Heckman, of the faculty com
mittee, and the ring agent admitted that another
firm had bid lower than the Herff-Jones Company.
Heckman added that the University now holds ex
clusive rights to the copyright.
The faculty committee seems to favor the Co-op
aB distributor. In an "off-the-record" statement a
member of the committee said that the only reason
fraternity men were not as opposed to the Co-op
as campus men was because they were not as close
to it.
Yet, in spite of the non-profit nature of the Co-op,
it will "be glad” to take the ring business from the
energetic student salesman. Compare these facts.

In looking over one of the exchange papers re
ceived by The Red and Black we noted with inter
est the following article:
Dissatisfaction with the growing tendency of
students to use the library for "social purposes"
has led 150 students at the University of Minne
sota to sign a petition asking the student faculty
relations committee of the all-university council
to investigate.
Talking in the reading rooms has reached the
point, it seems, where the students themselves are
protesting.
This story Is given In order to call attention to
the existing situation at the University of Georgia.
Now that library officials have made provisions for
having the library open on time, the problem of ex
cessive noise in the reading rooms has come up.
Library officials are unable to do anything about
the noise unless they receive the cooperation of stu
dents. It has been suggested that those students
who are continually being disturbed submit the
names of the noise-makers to Dean Hendren and
proper steps will be taken by the faculty to deny
these students the use of the library.
So now that the librarians have passed the respon
sibility of keeping the reading rooms orderly on to
the students, we are interested in seeing Just how-
much they will help, and how much quieter the
library will be for serious minded students.

Attention! Board of Regents
A few days ot spring weather and then the sud
den return to the winter rainy season did other
things than cause students at the University to get
their feet wet and complain. It filled again the small
and inadequate Infirmary.
Taken at face value, the statement does not seem
alarming—for a full capacity, 20, would only slightly
affect the 3,000 students. It is alarming, however,
when one realizes that because of the crowded situa
tion studeuts suffering from communicable diseases
were put into rooms with students who were not so
affected.
Infirmary officials have been faced with this same
situation throughout the winter, and it has been
necessary at times to shift sick students from one
room to another, in order to avoid placing the com
municable disease patients with others. In spite of
their painstaking efforts the officials have not been
able to carry this out all of the time
What we want to know is:
What. If anything, is the Board of Regents going
to do to relieve the present situation, and how long
will It be before they take some action?
