In the election, voters showed a
lack of enthusiasm, electing five of
the eight new officials by unanimous
counts. Only one minor office showed
elements of competition.

A1 Morgan, Atlanta, for the position
of first assistant. Hollis previously
had been the second assistant.
For second assistant, Ernie Vandi
ver, Lavonia, won over Morgan. Van
diver advanced from the office of
secretary.
Jacobus Named Secretary
Joe Jacobus, Atlanta, was unan
imously chosen as secretary.
Morgan unanimously won the of
fice of Chief Justice. Gus Sparks,
Macon, and Bill White, Greenville,
S. C., new associate justices, were
also unanimously chosen.
For sergeant-at-arms, whose duty
it is to care for the hall and tend
fires, there was a contested race.
Over five opponents James Hacke,
Athens, won out.
Butts, who has participated in the
society’s activities for four years,
has been an office-holder for the past
two years. He is president of the
Economics Society, vice-president of
the Jockey Club, business manager
of the 1939 Pandora, secretary of
Deta Sigma Pi commerce fraternity,
Regimental Adjutant of the Cavalry,
a member of Scabbard and Blade,
and of “X” Club.
Cleveland Speaks
After the installation of the new
officers, retiring president Gus
Cleveland made a farewell address.
He is the only president in the last
five years to achieve the distinction
of succeeding himself as head of the
organization. As he retired the so
ciety gave him a vote of apprecia
tion for what Morgan termed “being
the fairest and best president Phi
Kappa has ever had.”
Discussing plans to have Malcolm
Bryan, vice-president of the Federal
Reserve Bank of Atlanta, visit the
hall, the society decided to hear
him Jan. 11, at the second meeting
of the following quarter.
Home-grown products and cash
obtained from their NYA.jobs are
enabling three University students,
who are “baching it" in a base
ment room of a Lumpkin street
boarding house, to go through co-
lege with practically no cash out
lay.
Dwight Pulliam, Lavonia, and
Edwin and Johnny Stowe, both of
Toccoa, are the three men who are
depending on their own proficiency
in the culinary art to cut expenses
for their college education.
Besides their tuition, the only
money which they have to take
from their NYA checks is the $3
monthly rate they have to pay for
rent on the room which they
proudly call, “the bachelor's
home.’’ All foodstuff is sent di
rectly to them by their parents
who are farmers.

Edwards Defines ‘Luck
Dictionary Has Field Day
Webster had a field day when
Dr. Austin Southwick Edwurds
head of the University's psychol
ogy department, gave his deflnitiot
of the term "luck” recently.
“Luck is the fortuitous occur
rence of the infinitesimally prob
able.” he told a beginning psy
chology class.
'Amplifying his statement, Dr
Edwards explained that he consid
ered “winning at Monte Carlo,’
"cashing in on the Irish Sweep
stakes," or a "hole-in-one" a mat
ter of pure luck, but that symbols
such as a rabbit’s foot or horse
shoe were all superstitious bunk

sent a program of English songs over

the “Mikado.”
The Henry W. Grady School of
Journalism will again next session
offer a five-year program as well as
the four-year program, John E.
Drewry, director, has announced.
As stated in the April, 1938, bul
letin of the University, “two degrees
are offered for those who wish to
major in journalism: the bachelor of
arts in journalism for undergrad
uates, and the master of arts for
graduate students," Mr. Drewry
pointed out.
Under this arrangement, he ex
plained, it is possible for students
to receive the advantages of both
the four and five year program. The
latter is especially attractive to
those people contemplating combin
ing teaching and supervising a school
newspaper.
Requirements for the five-year
program include minors in the so
cial sciences and English in addition
to the major in journalism. A thesis
is also required.
