In Jacksonville
Georgia Is Slightly Favored;

Send-off Planned

Butts will lead his Georgia football
club out of Athens tonight, for Jack
sonville, Fla., where Saturday the
Bulldogs will face the University of
Florida eleven in Fairfield Stadium.
The Georgia-Florida game is an
nually Jacksonville’s major football
attraction, and this year promises to
be no exception. Again Georgia
rules the slight favorite, but the
’Gators, despite a none-too-good rec
ord, have played one or two great
games this season, including their
victory over Boston College, favored
son of the East, earlier in the fall.
It wouldn't be out of reason for
Butts to hang a “handle with care”

sized assignment awaiting him Sat
urday. Kimsey, in addition to doing
most of the Georgia running, will
also handle the majority of the punt
ing and passing, to say nothing of
calling signals and handling a de
fensive assignment.
Kimsey replaces Heyward Allen, the
Birmingham, Ala., mite, at first
string tailback. Two other changes
in the starting backfield will see
Robin Nowell opening at wingback
in place of the veteran Bob Salis
bury and Dooley Matthews, slender
Memphis, Tenn., senior, replacing
Captain Vassa Cate at wingback.
Cate is suffering from a bad leg
which will confine his duty to relief
service. Big Jim Fordham, at full
back, rounds out the starting quar
tet.
The line will be the same that
opened against N. Y. U. and Mercer,
except for Steve Hughes, towering
Rome rookie, replacing the injured
Tommy Witt at center. Witt, de
spite his bad knee, will be available
for part-time service. The remainder
of the forward wall will have Alex
McCaskill and John Stegeman at
ends, Charlie Williams and James
Posey at tackles, and Walter Wil-
fong and Howard "Smiley” Johnson
at guards.
The ’Gators, who dropped a one-
touchdown decision to South Caro
lina last week, will pin their hopes
on Bud Walton, a fine all-around
halfback. In addition to being a
dangerous runner, Walton is regard
ed as one of the finest passers In

Names and faces, and various and
sundry places hold no terror for
John T. “Sapient” Simpson, Norcross,
who can spiel off county seats in
Georgia, and vital facts about your
home town the moment he meets you
without even batting an eye.
Students have been surprised in
the past few weeks when this “mem
ory marvel” has told them their
names and home towns without be
ing first told. He explains this by
revealing his faithful study of old is
sues of the Pandora to learn more
names and faces.
Although it seems at first glance
an impossibility, Simpson has set for
his goal a perfect knowledge and ac-
cuatntance of every student now in
the University. He Insists he doesn't
really know an Individual until he
has leqrned everything of importance
about his native city.
To out-of-state students Simpson
devotes little of his time. Someday
he expects his statewide acquaint
ances to be of value in helping him
become a public figure of importance,
perhaps on the political front.
Midnight Hour Will Mark
Closing Time for Dances
Only Pan-Hellenic dances, the
Military Ball, and fraternity and
sorority formal dances during the
winter quarter will be allowed to
continue past 12 o’clock, the fac
ulty social committee ruled Mon
day. i
These dances will be allowed to
continue till 1 o’clock, but all
other dances must end at midnight,
according to the new rule.
“In view of the fact that the
fall program has already been ar
ranged, this regulation will not
take effect until the beginning of
the winter quarter,” the resolution,
signed by Dr. R. C. Wilson, chair
man of the committee, said.
Norman and Hollis
To Debate Britons
In Chapel Tuesday
Resolved: That England Has
Lost Her Former Great
ness, to Be Argued
Annual English debate will be held
in the Chapel Tuesday night at 8:30
with Bob Norman, Washington, and
Howell Hollis, Columbus, represent
ing the University on the affirmative
of the question, Resolved: That Eng
land has lost her former greatness.
Representing Oxford University on
the negative side will be R. G. Heath,
of Ballioil College, Oxford, and Peter
Street, of Exeter College, Oxford.
Each speaker will have 12 minutes
to present his main speech, and re
buttals will be made by one repre
sentative of each team. No decision
will be awarded.
Heath and Street Issued a state
ment last week setting forth and
clarifying their position on the sub
ject of the debate. Since their na
tion is involved in a war, they wished
it to be understood that using an
other subject was preferable to hav
ing the American public think them
propaganda agents. Claud Green,
debate coach, stated that the differ
ences have been ironed out, though,
and that this question will be argued
here.
This is the tenth consecutive year
that an Oxford team has debated in
the United States, upon the invita
tion of the National Student Federa
tion of America, which also arranges
their itinerary.
Heath, who will head the delega
tion, is 23 years of age, and a resi
dent of Kent, England. He has won
school prizes for music, character,
and service, and in college he was
awarded an open organ scholarship.
Heath is chairman of the Federa
tion of British University Conserva
tive Associations, has made extensive
tours of France, Belgium, and Spain.
He was in Spain during the recent
Civil War.
Street is 21 years of age, a resi-

And in this connection, he brings
forth the assumption that Julian Hal
liburton, Macon, if he is to bo suc
cessful someday in his campaign for
governor, should solicit his help.
Simpson .explains that his largest
reward at present for his trouble is
the how-did-you-know-it expression
that comes to the face of surprised
students whom he meets everyday.
When he makes an acquaintance
whose name he has never heard, he
carefully repeats the nomen with the
home town and thereafter it just
seems to stick.
This remarkable young man,
known to his friends as the “Sa
pient,” entered the University as a
third quarter Junior this September
after attending Piedmont College for
one year. Middle Georgia College,
Cochran, and South Georgia Teach
er's College, Statesboro. While at
tending these numerous institutions
of learning he learned and still knows
the majority of the student bodys,
as some day he hopes to do at the
University.

Inquiring Red and Black reporters
set out this week to obtain student
opinion as to what changes would
(1) most Improve the University, (2)
most Improve The Red and Black.
Ideas widely prevalent about Uni
versity changes were the abolition of
Saturday classes and required survey
courses. While not unanimous, the
check showed a decided majority of
those questions to favor these two
moves.
Women in one sorority house had
their attention focused upon “im
proving” the men students In three
ways: rules for freshmen men. house
mothers in all men's dormitories, and
housemothers living in fraternity
houses. The housemothers aren't
needed in fraternity houses because
co-eds go there, the women explain
ed, but would be of benefit to the
men themselves.

Historic Flag
Raised Today
At Dedication
Maj. Gen. Rusaell Speaks at
Exercises on Franklin Cam
pus; 3,000 Attend
Dedication of the first permanent
American flag ever raised on the Uni
versity campus was held this morn
ing around the new flag pole with
Maj. Gen. H. D. Russell, of Macon,
as principal speaker.
Julian Halliburton, Macon, who
served last Bpring as chairman of the
committee which secured student
contributions to buy the flag and
pole, acted as master of ceremonies
and introduced the speaker.
“So long as the young men of
America hold the flag of their coun
try in reverence we believe that our
institutions are secure and our con
cepts of government will be perpet
uated,” General Russell, command
ant of the 30th National Guard Di
vision, told the nearly 3,000 stu
dents, faculty members and Athen
ians gathered for the exercises.
America's Role Changes
“America’s role as world reformer
has ended. We must revise our con
cepts of international relations and
restato our position in the world.
Primarily our interests must be
American interests. Emphatically we
should assert our readiness at all
times to cooperato with other pow
ers in the promotion of peaco, when
and only we are convinced of the
sincerity of those powers.”
General Russell quoted the words
of late Chancellor David C. Barrow in
rededlcatlng the lives and fortunes
of Americans in their fight for the
preservation of American Institu
tions, “We dedicate this day and oc
casion, a memorial to those lovers
of peace who took arms, left homes
and dear ones and gave all that men
might bo free.”
The entire University R. O. T. C.
unit participated In the exercises,
joining the American Legion, legion
Auxiliary, Athens High School R. O.
T. C., Legion Drum und Bugle Corps
and Red Cross, who had paraded
through town os part of Athens’ cele
bration of Armistice Day.
The Chester Adair flag, lent to the
University by Miss Molna Michael,
Athens’ "poppy lady,” was used for
the exercises, but will be replaced to
morrow by a permanent flag. The
Adair flug came to America draped
on the casket of Chester Adair, Uni
versity student and first Georgian to
be killed in the World War.
Flag Raised at II: 10
The flag was formally raised at
11:10 with the University R. O. T.
C. at attention and the University
hand playing the Star Spangled Ban
ner.
General Russell entered the Uni
versity in 1908, received his A.B- de
gree in 1912, and finished law work
In 1914. While a student, he held
the office of cheer leader and was
a member of Demlsthenlan Literary
Society.
After serving overseas during the
World War, General Russell organ
ized and became first colonel of the
121st Infantry and commanded that
regiment until 1923 when he was
promoted to the rank of brigadier
general. In 1932 he was promoted
to major general and placed In com
mand of the 30th division of national
guard troops from Georgia, North
and South Carolina and Tennessee.
cliff’s column is the beet liked fea
ture In. The Red and Black, followed
at a distance by society page's Petti
coat Parade.
No outstanding changes for the
campus weekly were suggested. More
room for society news, more person
als, more campus news, and a close
check on facts used by Roddy Rat
cliff were mentioned.
Turning to national affairs, stu
dents preponderantly favor Congress'
action in passing the new neutrality
act 133-46. The 464 opposed liked
the old status better; none offered
still different suggestions.
Other changes for the University
mentioned were exemption of seniors
with a required average from final
examinations, women cheer leaders,
a “fair” deal for transfer students,
more support for the music depart
ment, and student opinion in faculty
meetings.
