Parthenian on Parade
l'or Mortar Hoard Inspector
A CTING as host to the national inspector of
Mortar Board Society this week-end will he
seven outstanding senior women, members of
Parthenian. The inspector will he shown the cam
pus und given an insight into some of the activities
at the University In which women participate.
She will meet members of the faculty und will dls-
i cuss with them problems concerning the universi
ties ami cotleRns of the nation, and problems of
women students In particular. And most Important
of all, she will consider the University campus us a
possible location for a chapter of Mortar Hoard
For a number of years it bus been evident that
some appropriate tueuns of recognition should he
taken of outstanding women nt the University. Men
receive their recoftnition through election to Sphinx,
O. D. K., und Blue Key. At present women receive
recognition by election to Parthenlun, but there
should be an added incentive—a national organiza
tion.
Mortar Hoard is just such n national organiza
tion and the type needed for ‘‘the oldest chartered
state University.” Membership to the organization
is based on character, scholarship, and extra cur
ricular activities. These are the same requirements
for membership to Parthenian.
We believe that after a visit to the University
campus and a study of Parthenian, Mortar Board's
national Inspector can give but one report to the
Society—In favor of the Immediate installation of
Mortar Board nt Georgia
Play Knds Quarter’s Work
For "Boss” and Theater Crew
rpHI8 week-end, in spite of the rush und exclte-
ment of the Military Ball, several hundred stu
dents will take time off to attend the play,
."Kind Lady,” at the University Theater.
The majority of those attending will exclatm
briefly on the acting, the excellence of the sets, the
splendid sound effects, und then will go home to tell
friends what "a tine play” It wus. Few, if any.
however, will stop to consider or realize Just how-
much work has gone into the production of the twc. j
hour entertainment. /
For the past mouth those in the cast have spent
•a minimum of three hours every night rehearsing
lines, time and time again. Underneath the stage. !
members of the production staff have worked far
Into the wee hours of the morning completing work
on the set, and the reward they get for their efforts
will be to see tlietr names on the program, and
maybe the applause from the audience as the cur
tain rises for the first time on their finished work
Assistants on the business stuff, who have done the
work for the business manager and received none of
the credit, have done their part toward publicizing
and handling the financial side of the production.
Their names will also be included on the program.
| Directing, and doing a large part of the work In
all of the departments, has been Edward C. Crouse,
affectionately known to the theater bunch by such
nicknames as "Ed." "Boss,” and "Papa Crouse.”
Under hia painstaking and critical direction the Uni
versity Theater has done much to promote Interest
In dramatics at Georgia. To him is due the credit
for all the progress that the theater has made during
the past seven years.
THE RED AND BLACK, FRIDAY, MARCH 4, 1938.
Letters
Dear Editor:
I wish to call your attention to
the fact that some street lights
should be put up along Herty
Drive. There Is great need for
them in that it Is practically im
possible for a pedestrian to find
his way ulong this street on a dark
night. The irregular terrain be
tween the Co-op lunch room and
Herty Drive and the Iron stobs in
the ground on each side of this
thoroughfare make walking quite
hazardous.
Just a night or so ago several
women were crossing the street at
the intersection of Herty Drive and
the street which leads up from the
Infirmary, and one of them, un
able to see an iron stob in the
darkness, tripped over it and in
jured her leg severely.
I believe that street lights would
not only aid the pedestrian and
prevent such similar accidents as
this one in the future, but I be
lieve that it would also be a help
to the automobile driver.
I merely write you this letter in
hope that you may he able to do
something to make our campus a
safer place on which to walk and
ride.
An interested student,
W. B.
Rhythm Rambling
By R. R.
Way down in Louisiana where
the lazy Mississippi crawls around
a bend and slaps its eddies against
the bank, and where water oaks,
bearded with Spanish moss, parade
along the levee, more than 300
men and women huddle around
12G radios and smile.
For they are lepers, the legion
of the doomed, exiles to the do
minion of the damned.
And they have nothing left but
their faith in God, their hope In
science, und their loyalty to radio.
Their friend, the voice that brings
them cheer, comes through and
over a 12-foot wall that surrounds
the leper colony.
As a group, the lepers like Hol
lywood Hotel, Cavalcade of Amer
ica, Major Bowes, Gang Busters,
Floyd Gibbons, Charlie McCarthy,
Your Hit Parade. Kraft Music
Hull, and WktOh the Fan Go By.
Brave as Leonidas' 300 Spar
tans at Thermopylae, they will
always have hope—so long as they
have their radios.
A sparkling new- variety show-
featuring George Olsen’s "music of
tomorrow.” Graham McNamee,
and the Golden Gate Quartet will
have Its premiere broadcast as the
Royal Crown Revue Friday night
over NBC-Blue at 9 o'clock. But
It grieves us to say that Tim and
Irene, nauseating team which plays
in movie short features too fre
quently. will also appear on the
program. Maybe you like them
better.

Beware of the Thieves
This week we are deviating slightly from the set
way of writing articles for this column and design
this particular article as a warning for men living
in fraternity houses and dormitories.
During the past several weeks there has been an
unusual large amount of stealing going on in frater
nity houses. There may also be some in dormitories
but tills has not been reported to us yet.
As far as we have been able to learn, one or more
individuals are concerned in the matter, and have
worked out a clever scheme for relieving University
men of articles of clothing, money, etc.
In one particular case, say the Xi Xi fraternity,
for instance, the would-be stealer has paid three
visits to the house and has been headed off each time
before any damage could be done. In this case he
came in the house and was in the upstairs hall be
fore being noticed. When asked what he wanted,
the individual said he was looking for John Doe,
whom he thought lived at the Xi Xi house. The fra-
.ternity member, in a helpful mood, looked up the
address of John Doe and found it to be on the other
side of town.
Since the first night, when the would-be thief
came into the house looking for John Doe, he has
been back two other times looking for the same in
dividual. Each time he was caught in the house
under rather unusual circumstances and In odd
places—odd at least for a visitor. •
Reports from other fraternity houses along the
same street indicate that they have likewise been
troubled by strange visitors, on odd missions, at odd
hours. One visitor was found wandering around the
house at 3 o’clock in the morning.
As we stated at the beginning of this opus, it is
written as a warning for other fraternities who have
not yet been placed on guard concerning the prowl
ers. We do not suggest any remedies—just be on
the look-out, for after all, "an ounce of prevention
is worth a pound of cure.”
Bravo, Pan-Hellcnic Council
Our admiration and enthusiasm for the Pan-Hel
lenic Council and its activities have received a de
cided upward push this week with the signing of Kay
Kyser for the Little Commencement Dances. In
spite of all we have said about the council we are
very happy over the prospect of a really good band
for the spring dances.
The price of block tickets has also been an
nounced, and is not any more than is to be expected
for such an excellent band. Now if all fraternity
men will back the council and buy the tickets the
Little Commencement Dances this year can be the
very best yet.
University Smoke Screen"
If you see some co-ed walking up the campus, zig
zagging from side to side, and looking like she had
taken one drink too many, don't suspect the worst.
It is quite possible that she is merely trying to dodge
the storm of soot that daily descends on the Uni
versity campus.
Several buildings on the campus—the Journal
ism, Academic, Beanery, and Joe Brown as examples
—have furnaces and chimneys that belch forth smoke
and soot every day to ruin the University buildings
as well as the looks of the co-eds.
It seems that by placing the proper flues in these
furnaces a large amount of the soot could be elim
inated and save a few window washings and repaint
ing jobs.
How about tt. Mr. Kinney?
A Year Ago and Now
Dirt Dishing Guy Tiller picked a transfer beauty,
Jean Crowell, the lass with the turned-up nose, to
cop the pulchritude prize and she did, but the taste-

Mary Sadler, whose high forehead should aid the
toupee business, and Sad Sadler did not last through
the first eliminations.
Frank, popular journalism professor Willett Main
Kempton announced he would conduct a newspaper-
sight seeing trip to Europe for students and course

still a journalism professor, although Lawrence Rem-

for his second tour of the old country.
Maybe it was love, maybe not. but Annie Laurie
