Establishment of the Institute for
Research In Georgia Problems, in the
opinion of University officials, marks
only the beginning of n social renais
sance In Georgia which will lift tho
state from Its backward position to
the place It deserves ntnong the rat
ings of the other states.
"Never before tho present day
have tho people of Georgia been so
keenly uware of the failure of our
state to keep paco with her sister
states in social Improvement,” Ur.
Brooks said In announcing the plans
of the group.
The program of the Institute will
be well under way by the end of tho
academic year, President Caldwell
said, and the Institute of Public
Affairs during the summer will

Psychology Survey
Detects Eye Defects
Recent tests of over 100 students
have proved that approximately 7
per cent of males are color blind.
David Belcher, student psychology
assistant, who is conducting the
Ishi-Hara test announced the conclu
sions this week.
“Color blindness seems to have no
relationship to other eye defects,”
commented the psychology aide who
also assisted In the recent non-sleep
experiment. "One subject was found
to be affected within a distance of
three feet, but appeared normal at
any greater distance."
Belcher plans to give the test to
many other students In order to
make the data as accurate as pos
sible.
Athens motorists evidently are
engaged In a far-reaching conspiracy
to draw energetic students away
from their books in Joe Brown Hall
and Now Boys' Dormitory.
In three separate instances dur
ing the past week cars have dis
turbed the peace on Lumpkin street
(also known ns The Racetrack) and
dragged unwilling students away
from the pleasures of their books.
The tranquillity was first shatter
ed an hour after midnight Friday
morning. A campus dog was the vic
tim of a hit-and-run driver, and the
lusty laments of his family and
friends lasted until the dawn.
Sunday afternoon two motorists
wrecked their cars In front of Joe
Brown and discussions of the col
lision wrecked Monday morning test
grades.
Twenty-four hours later, the re
luctant wreck watchers were again
summoned to tho street by the clar
ion cnll of crashing fenders as a hit-
and-run driver side-swiped a parked
vehicle.
Chinese Student to Transfer
Front Columbia This Week
Fan Hou, Chinese student until
recently at Columbia University, will
transfer to tho University this week.
He will study Southern conditions.
Residing on a fellowship provided
by the Graduate School, Hou will do
his work by means of conferences,
lectures, and observations rather
than formal courses.
Selection of graduate assistants
and fellows for all departments has
been put Into the hands of the grad
uate council. Applications may bo
made either through heads of de
partments or the dean of the Grad
uate School. The deadline is March
15.
Anniversarians of the University's
rival literary societies, Demosthen
ian and Phi Kappa, took fiery ora
torical stands Wednesday night in
behalf of courage and liberalism in
an annual Chapel program.
With the straight-to-the-point
style of delivery which marked
America in the 1890s. Joe Prather,
Toccoa, representing Demosthenian,
struck strong vocal strokes on "cour
age—the key to success," while Mor
ris Abram, Fitzgerald, advocated
liberalism as Phi Kappa's spokesman.
Prather cited experiences of Rob
ert Toombs, Admiral Richard E.
Byrd, and Charles Lindbergh as ex
amples of courage.
“A Man Must Be Brave"
“Any stooge can stick with the
crowd and duck behind a post when
It comes his time to defend the is
sue," Prather declared, "but a man
must be brave and courageous to
stand up for what he believes is
right.”
"Thinking only of progress and
realizing that failure meant certain
death was the prospect Charles Lind
bergh faced when he crossed the At
lantic alone,” Prather stated. "The
great handicap of paralysis does not
hinder President Roosevelt’s life—
this is courage."
The Demosthenian pointed out
that the President had taken ad
vantage of his infirmity to aid many
others in his condition by supporting
tho Warm Springs Foundation.
"Conquer Man by Reason"
Morris Abram, Fitzgerald, anal-
ized liberalism from its effect inter
nationally and in the United States,
using the administrations of Presi
dents Hoover and Roosevelt as paral
lels. The Phi Kappa anniversarian
considered the specific problem of
the "laissez-faire” policy a problem
to liberalism.
"The theory of the modern dicta
tors that Democracy cannot survive
contains no basic reasoning,” Abram
said, "as these dictatorial countries
have never seen democracy.” Rus
sia, Italy, Japan, and Germany were
pointed out by him as falling In the
dictatorial class, while the United
States, England, France, and the
Scandinavian countries were typified
as democratic.
The Phi Kappa anniversarian said
that "the future hope of democracy
lies in conquering man by reason—
not force.”
The atmosphere of . Demosthen
ian Hall has been cleared at last.
Though the air within those
ancient walls may again grow blue
as the heat of the debate increases.
It will not be thickened with
smoke of cigarettes and pipes of
members while programs are In
progress.
It all came about when Lowell
Cumming, Cordele, proposed that
no smoking be allowed during the
regular Wednesday night pro
grams, and the society passed the
motion by a vote of 40 to 2jl.
William W. Loomis, national hon
orary president of Sigma Delta Chi,
national journalistic fraternity, was
honored by the members and pledges
of the Georgia chapter at a break
fast at the Georgian Hotel this morn
ing.
Peter Brown, associate professor
of English, delivered the Washing
ton's birthday address of the Saddle
and Sirloin Club Tuesday night in
Hardman Hall.

nese Civilization.” Mr. White, who
