Will Be First on Campus
For Freshmen
Tempt
Temporary lights, to be followed
by a white way, will be installed on
Herty Field in the near future.
This announcement, made by B. C.
Kinney, University business manager,
follows an editorial in last week’s is
sue of The Red and Black. Mr. Ken
ney also said that some effort would
be made to remedy the "soot situa
tion.”
"We have been aware of the need
for lights on Herty Field for some
time,” Mr. Kinney said. "In due
time a white way will be installed
from the main entrance to Baldwin
street. As this work calls for $3,000
we will temporarily have to make
use of a light focused on the field
from the Chapel and one to be placed
near New College.”
Mr. Kinney pointed out that ex
tended chimney flues have failed to
eliminate soot from the furnaces.
Stokers, which will cost $125,000,
will have to be installed. The first
of these will be put in Joe Brown
Hall before September.
Mr. Kinney praised interest shown
by students. “I appreciate such crit
icism by the students because it
shows they are interested in their
campus and this interest will help
us to get the needed money. I con
sider that there are usually three
attitudes taken by the students—one
group takes no interest in campus
improvements as they figure nothing
is to be done anyway, another dam
ages the constructive steps we take,
and a third. gives helpful sugges
tions. We encourage the few in this
last group.”
For the first time on the Univer
sity campuB, there will be an hon
orary scholastic fraternity for fresh
men when a local chapter of the
national fraternity Phi Eta Sigma is
installed tonight.
Nineteen sophomores, comprising
the group of last year’s freshmen
with an average of 90 or better for
their first year, will be initiated at
the ceremony which will be con
ducted by G. Herbert Smith, na
tional secretary of the society.
Smith is assistant dean of men at
the University of Illinois.
Bob Norman, Washington, has been
elected president by the petitioners.
Others elected to offices are Howell
Hollis, Columbus, vice president;
Lewis Killian, Macon, recording sec
retary and treasurer, and Bill Rog
ers, Elberton, corresponding secre
tary.
William Tate, dean of freshmen
will be faculty advisor for the group.
Morris Abram, Fitzgerald, will act
as senior advisor.
Other charter members are James
Hacke Jr., Athens; Calhoun Bowen,
Tifton; Milton Lesser, Athens; Ju
lian Halliburton, Macon; A1 Morgan,
Atlanta; T. L. Wood, Macon; Bill

Blackshear; Bob Kernaghan, Macon;
Francis Maddux. Sycamore; Walter

Committee to Begin Drive
to Raise $18,000 to Erect
Proposed Building
Plans for a Baptist Student Cent
er as a memorial to the late Walter
Wise, outstanding University student
who died last August, are being
drafted by a group of committees
named recently by the University
Baptist Student Union which is spon
soring the drive to raise $18,000.
As a center of religious activity
of the B. S. U., the proposed build
ing will be located near the campus
on a site not yet definitely selected.
Plans call for a new brick structure
including a combination assembly
and banquet hall, an apartment for
the student secretary, committee and
prayer rooms, and five to seven
rooms to be rented to students.
Other Similar Buildings
The building will be similar to
other denominational student centers
at Louisiana State University, Flor
ida State College for Women, and
the University of Oklahoma, Missis
sippi State College for Women, and
North Carolina State College for Wo
men.
Gifts aggregating more than $4,-
000 are practically assured upon the
official opening of the drive late this
month, according to members of the
committee. These include contribu
tions from members of the Wise fam
ily, friends in his home town, the
Sigma Chi fraternity, and Univer
sity students.
Student Committee
Heading the drive which will be
known as the Walter Wise Memorial
Campaign is James B. Pert, chair
man of the board of directors of the
Athens Junior Chamber of Com
merce. Mr. Pert is connected with
the Hanna Manufacturing Company.
Robert Norman, Washington, is
chairman of the student committee
which includes Bill Durhutu, Wood
ville, treasurer; MorrlB Abram, Fitz

University Officials
Condemn Drinking
Pointing to a general decline la
drinking among University students,
a group of faculty advisers and Uni
versity officials Tuesday night pass
ed a resolution asking students to
continue their efforts to discourage
drinking in fraternity houses, dormi
tories, and other places subject to
University control.
Certain members of the committee,
however, held that use of Intoxicants
was on the Increase, and there Is a
possibility that definite action may
be taken soon to curb the practice
if this is true.
President Harmon W. Caldwell
said yesterday that the situation was
delicate one and that If possible
he would prefer that the individual
fraternities work out their own plans
for control.
President Caldwell said he did
not know whether direct control was
possible in the case of fraternity
houses, but that an attempt at curb
ing drinking would probably be ne
cessary.
The following resolution was pass
ed at the meeting:
"The faculty of the University be
lieves that In recent years there has
been a steady decline In drinking
among members of the student body.
This fact is distinctly encouraging to
those who are Interested In the wel
fare of the University and its stu
dents.
"It is our hope that students will
make a particularly strong effort to
refrain from and to discourage the
use of intoxicants In the fraternity
houses, in dormitories, on the cam
pus and in other places subject di
rectly or Indirectly to University con
trol.”
