marked leadership on the drill field
and in other practical work will be
given preference, he explained.

IIY not let the freshman women attend the Friday nijrht
Homecoming dance, Mrs. McWhorter ’ Put yourself in their
position and see how it feels to be cheated out of something
you are entitled to—something you really want. What harm could
possibly result from their being allowed to attend, provided the
dance is made a strictly University affair?
The freshman women are not green. Neither are they stupid.
Most of them are at least sixteen years old and have been having
dates for the past three years. They dance in their home towns
and they would certainly not he at the University if their parents
didn’t consider them able to look after themselves.
With the agreement of Charlie Evans, Pan-Hellenic president,
to make the Friday night dance a University affair, with admission
with athletic book only, reasons that can be advanced against per
mitting the lirst year students to dance fall Hat. It isn’t even
necessary that the dance be a strictly University affair. There’s
little danger that some returning alumnus will try to kidnap any
of the freshmen.
These women are as much a part of the University as the seniors.
They look to the University for everything, whereas the seniors are
not quite so interested. They should be given the privilege of tak
ing part in Georgia’s biggest social week-end. What if it does
establish a precedent? The old must make w T ay for the new.
The University isn’t a prep school. First year women should be
encouraged to stay over for the Homecoming w r cek-end and par
ticipate in the festivities. They can sign out for distant cities and
attend the dances of other schools, but when they have one in their
own backyard, so to speak, they are not allowed to go. Why?
It may be all right to discipline children by not letting them go
to the downtown movie on Saturday night, but it’s a bit far-fetched
to penalize college students in such a manner. Have a heart, Mrs.
McWhorter. If you were a freshman, wouldn’t you feel cheated
if you weren’t allowed to attend one* of the biggest social functions
the University has ever had?

Association of Artists for an exhibi
tion which opened in the Chancellor

open to the public until November 8,
Lamar Dodd, head of the art depart
ment, announced.
The exhibit consists of approx
imately 40 pictures. A pen and ink

ment, was one of three pictures to

lam steel mills by Kuzmicki is also

the exhibit. Eleanor Goldberg, Sa
vannah, had an oil painting, “The
Caddy,” accepted.
On the second floor of the Chan
cellor House is a group of pictures
by Boardman Robinson, one of
which is valued at more than $100.
Robinson, widely - known Colorado
artist who painted 18 murals for the
Department of Justice Building in
Washington, was well-received at a
lecture at the University last year.
Several pencil sketches by Jean
Chariot, young Mexican artist, and
drawings from the collection of La
mar Dodd are also on display.
Pictures by several University and
Athens artists will be placed on dis

gia Arch last May, will assemble for
the first fall session Monday after

ian Hall, when tlie "aire corps"
launches its expansion program on a
national scale.

mapping a program for the year
which includes a mass “field trip" to
the Georgia-Auburn game, individ
ual out-of-state tours, and a gigantic
convention of southeastern chapters
in be held during the spring quarter.
Plans are to be perfected for a na
tional convention which will meet at
some selected metropolitan center at
the close of the school year. An ex
hibit booth is being sought at the
New York World’s Fair by eastern
members, while those on the west
coast will maintain a display at the
San Francisco exposition.
The meeting Monday will consist
of talks by leading members of the
hitch-hiking fraternity who have an
“honor" rating in the hitch-hiking
fraternity, followed by an explana
tion of the aimH and ideals of the or-
ganlzaHon for the benefit of new
members, Eugene Phillips, Royston,
editor of The Arch and nationul com
mander of the AACH, said. The
“honor" rank is given members who
have hitch-hiked 5,000 miles within
the past three years. A minimum of
1.000 miles by thumb completed
within the same time limit Is re
quired for membership.
Charter^ members and all students
