University Student Sails in
October; Plans to Continue
Study of Law
Morris Abram, Fitzgerald, was
awarded a Rhodes Scholarship at a
meeting of the district Rhodes Schol
arship committee in Atlanta on Dec.
15. When he reaches Oxford late
this summer he will find at leust one
familiar face in the person of Lane
Timmons, University graduate of
two years ago, who will be beginning
his second year of study at Oxford.
Abram, an instructor in economics
and a junior in law school, was one
of two students chosen from the re
gional district including Georgia,
Florida, South Carolina, North Car
olina, Tennessee, and Virginia to re
ceive the scholarships given by the
British philanthropist, Cecil Rhodes.
Expected to report on Oct. 13 to
begin his study, Abram plans to sail
from this country about two weeks
before that date.
At Oxford he will continue his
study of law, since two years there,
with the work he has already com
pleted in Lumpkin Law School, will
give him the degree of bachelor of
arts in jurisprudence. Should he
remain for a third year of study,
which Rhodes scholars have the priv
ilege of taking, he would receive the
degree of bachelor of civil law.
Even more important than the op
portunity to study at Oxford, Abram
believes, is the chance to study the
conditions and peoples of Europe.

Are Added to Staff
By Jack Reid
While University students vaca
tioned, Georgia's coaching staff un
derwent its second shake-up in two
years and at the same time the Ath
letic Board, seeing the nation’s old
est state chartered university fast
gaining a reputation as new No. 1
“hot spot" for mentors, launched a
now deal for the school’s head foot
ball coaches.
The shake-up was featured by Wal
lace Butts, end mentor the past fall,
succeeding Joel Hunt In the driver’s
seat; the new deal saw Butts allow
ed to select his entire staff of as
sistants, a privilege not granted the
youthful Hunt when he supplanted
Harry Mehre as head coach Just a
year ago.
SIaff of Aides
After a four-hour session Tuesday
night, the board okayed the follow
ing staff of aides:
Bill Hartman, buckftold coach.
J. B. ‘‘Bare” Whitworth, lino
coach.

mentor.
Howell Hollis, head freshman
coach.
Quinton Lumpkin, assistant fresh
man coach.
Elmer Lampe, basketball coach.
Forrest “Spec” Towns, track
coach.
C. W. Jones, swimming and boxing
coach.
Fitz Lutz, trainer.
Butts' appointment as head coach
had been announced a week prior
to the board's annual meeting Tues
day. A native of Millodgevllle, the
now 33-year-old mentor graduated
from Mercer University in 1928 and
was promptly signed as head coach
at the old Madison A. & M. School.

to Georgia as an assistant last fall.
Fine I’rep Record
After ton years as head coach at
throe outstanding prep schools, dur
ing which time he lost but nine
games, Butts was an assistant for
the first time lust full. His stay in
the ranks of aides was abbreviated.
Butts’ selection of assistants
should meet almost unanimous ap
proval. Two of his choices, Hart-
man and Lumpkin, are Georgia's
most outstanding athletes of recent
years. Hartman, coached by Butts
at both Mudlson und G. M. C., was

Definite plans were made this
week to establish an honor system
for the University as a proposed con
stitution was drawn up by a student
committee.
The proposed constitution was
written after a great number of stu
dents, faculty members, and others
interested in the welfare of the Uni
versity had voiced need for an honor
system. IdeuB from approximately
100 people were used in the draft
ing of the constitution.
A special election will be held
during registration for the spring
quarter at which time students will
have an opportunity to approve or
reject the proposed honor system. A
two-thirds majority vote of ull stu
dents will be required for its pas
sage.
