THE RED AND BLACK, FRIDAY, FEBRUARY 25, 1938. Five B. C. Forbes Urges Granddaughter of 'Uncle Dave’ Barrow Students to Become Paints, Reworks Sketches in 'Old Home' Experts invocation Pretty Picture Financial Editor Encourages Serious Study in Prospec tive Field of Work By Hoyt Ware •'My advice to the college man to day is to become a serious student in his prospective field,” B. C. Forbes, nationally syndicated financial writ er, told The Red and Black Thurs day. Asked about the outlook for em ployment, Forbes, who began his careor as a printer's devil in Scot land at 14, said, "There is every opportunity for the superior stu dent." Students More Purposeful “I do admit that it is hard nowa days to gain a foothold, but. once that is done, and honor graduates are finding it less and less difficult, any serious-minded young person is certain to rise above mediocrity." Father of five sons, two of whom are college students, Forbes said he thought college men and women to day are more purposeful than in former years. “College people have felt the slowing-down of business and indus try as fully as have the work-a-d*> folk. They are specializing, looking ahead and planning, instead of wait ing until graduation to present them selves to a busy world.” Has 44 Years Experience Called the highest paid financial editor in America, Forbes is founder and publisher of Forbes Magazine, a business publication. A newspaper man of 44 years experience, he em phasized: “This talk of ‘starting out’ when a man leaves college is the bunk, frankly; he ‘starts out’ when he en ters grammar school. More and more business leaders are considering col lege records as credentials.” Ed Rogers brunette artist-ette, Gridiron Club GrandduugliU-r of Georgia’s "grandest chancellor” draws a pic ture while picturesque columns of “grnnddaddy's mansion” frame her head, making another "pic ture.” She is Frances Barrow’, student landscape artist. By A slender, member of the corps of student paint ers whose work on “campus loca tion” attracted curious onlookers, was found this week to be the grand daughter of the University’s “Grand Old Chancellor.” She is Frances Burrow, young des cendant of "Uncle Dave” Barrow, who filled the chancellery back dur ing 1906-25, served as chancellor emeritus four years, and whose suc cess story "made" the Saturday Ev ening Post. When she returns to the studio to retouch sketches of campus beauty spots, she goes to no other place than “granddaddy’s old home,” which has been made headquarters of the University’s modernized art department. She still remembers early visits to David Crenshaw Barrow’s mansion during an era when the old chancel lor would make nightly visits to the cemetery to see that no freshmen had been left tied to tombstones by upperclassmen.

Formal initiation will follow at a banquet at the Geor gian Hotel. (Continued from page 1) belief is sound, any plan for taking the franchise from the class secretary would probably be overridden, and that students may "do business with some other company” despite the University's present contract. The Herff-Jones representative said the company partially owned a copyright of the present senior ring. Prof. H, M. Heckman, chairman of the faculty committee, produced Wednesday a copy of the Herff-Jones contract let six years ago which showed the ring firm had voluntarily forfeited all claims to the copyright in favor of the University of Geor gia. Heckman said the contract for making the standard, copyrighted ring may be let to any firm, but he did not favor a plan for re-letting contracts each year. The committee chairman indicated that the faculty's recommendation was not in favor of student distri bution of rings, but he said that he doubts if the Co-op would accept the offer if the President decides to give it to them. The distribution problem was rushed to a climax last week at a meeting of the senior class in order for full settlement to be made before spring elections. Students on the ring committee said prior to the meeting that “we feel it the sentiment of the entire class that the sale of the rings and the profits from it should be kept in the hand of some deserving stu dent who proves himself each year by being elected by his fellow class- men to the office." Members of the committee were Clark Gaines, Perry J. Hudson, Hapeville; George Dillard, Cusseta; Kennon Henderson, Carrollton; Cleone Jackson, Macon; Robert Judd, Memphis, Tenn.; Don Carter, Plains; Bill Benton, Cornelia; Bill Durham, Woodville; Ed Baxter, Ashburn; Mar tha Selman, Douglasville, and A.

She thinks men tend to shy off when they see a wo man with a fraternity pin. Will U. Kissme, easy going and well dressed, stated he’d given his pin out but got it back. “Othf^r than a recognition badge of my fraternity it means absolutely nothing to me I think real love should supersede the wearing of a pin and that’s where I erred.” First you see it, then you don’t. That is generally what happens dur ing the life history of a fraternity pin. Opinion as to the significance of wearing a pin is so different that it would be impossible to say what the campus as a whole really thinks. The majority, however, believe a pin means laissez-faire. More than that, little can be said. ^ GENERALt.— GULF Gas & Oil 24 Hour Service NORMAL SERVICE STATION Corner Prince Avenue and Atlanta Highway PHONE 9130 Normal Town LUCAS & JENKINS PALACE TODAY & TOMORROW ( WILLIAM POWELL anj ANNABELLA perfectly sensational together...in 'vtu!Baroness aj& 'Butler Helen Wettlcy • Henry Stephenson J Joseph Schlldkraut • Nigel Bruce i J Edward Bromberg • Lynn Bari A 30th Century Fok Picture Extra - Two Reel Color Cartoon "Pop- eye Meets Ali Baba’s 40 Thieve*” MON. - TUES. - WED. , The biggest „ BIG BROADCAST of them ell. \ W.
