We Print the News
By Harley Bowers, Editor, The Red and Black
A CERTAIN story carried in The Red and Black several weeks a*;o was used by a corrupt polit
ical machine to further their evil policies. That story was written as a straight news story
and did not reflect the opinions of the writer or the paper. Still it was made to appear in
such a light. It showed us what a scheming, unscrupulous bunch of seasoned politicians will do to
further their schemes.
We do not want and do not intend to let this happen again. We are going to let everyone
know where we stand so that there will be no question in the future.
The main story in this week’s issue is concerned with the Pro-Talmadge Club being formed
on the campus. We are printing this story as straight news (please notice, Mr. Talmadge), and
not as a way The Red and Black feels on the question now at hand. This story has no comment
pro or con and gives only the facts as they should be reported.
The page advertisement being run in this issue is one similar to those that appeared in the
Atlanta Journal and the Atlanta Constitution of last Wednesday. This advertisement was paid
for by Governor Talmadge just as were those of the Atlanta papers.
We are printing this story and this advertisement in due respect to the fact that there is a Pro-
Talmadge organization being formed on the campus. It is news to the students and we feel they
should know it. It is in keeping with our policy of showing no partiality and printing all the
news.
But get this clear. The Red and Black under my editorship has never been for Governor
Talmadge, is not for Governor Talmadge at the present'and will never be for Governor Talmadge.
in all probability.
Our reason is quite obvious. The Governor himself knows that. No one expected the French
people to love Hitler after he over-ran their country and no one can expect us to love Talmadge
after he over-ran the University.
This editorial is not intended as a blast against Talmadge or any of his cohorts. It is merely a
statement of policy. Through this statement of policy and explanation of actions taken by us, we
hope to keep our news stories from being misunderstood.
We are not breaking faith with the University of Georgia students or with any student in the
University System by printing this story and running this advertisement because we have ex
plained our cause and reason. We know they are just reasons and hope that everyone else will
follow us through. We can only be judged on what we print. We judge what we print before it is
printed. No more can be expected of any one person or any one newspaper. Read our news stories
and form your own opinions. We do not attempt to form them for you.
Bulldog Eleven
Faces Centre
In "Rest Game’
Butts to Start First Team
Against Underdog Ken
tucky Squad
By Harley Bowers
The Georgia Bulldogs, after six
weeks of the toughest campaigning
possible, will get a well-earned rest
tomorrow when they take on little
Centre College of Kentucky in Ponce
de Leon park, Atlanta.
Having gone through only two
days of light practice this week, the
Georgia regulars will start the game
but are expected to give way to the
reserves early in the contest. It is
certain, however, that the Atlanta
fans will get a preview of the Geor
gia outfit which will engage Tech on
Grant Field two weeks from tomor
row.
Interesting Game
Very little is known of the strength
of the Kentucky outfit but they boost
several outstanding players and
should make the game interesting
even though they are given no chance
to win. The Bulldogs, with the pres
sure of a hard schedule removed
temporarily, will shoot the works in
an effort to make the score as im
pressive as possible.
Even though the loss of Dick Mc-
Phee, brilliant sophomore fullback,
will not be felt seriously tomorrow,
it is one of the toughest blows hand
ed the Georgia squad this season.
McPhee seemed to be rounding into a
playing peek and turned in a grand
game against Florida.
The non-conference struggle will
give both Sinkwich and Lamar Davis
a chance to add many points to their
respective totals in the race for
Southeastern Conference scoring
honors. Davis now ranks third with
45 points and Sinkwich is tied for
fourth with 42 points.

“You’re wrong,’’said Profes

“Phooey,” said Reporter Wil

The assistant mathematics
professor and well known statis
tician maintains that “The Red

He refer to a recent article
in tihe student weekly which
stated that Pleas Hull, Univer

nearly a million and a half times
in the past eight years.
The computation was made by

he made an "A" in mathematics

The professor said, ’If the bell
ringer has rung the bell 16 times
a day, 20 rings a time, 260 days
a year, for eight years, the total
number of rings would be only
640,000, which is nowhere near
a million and a half."
The reporter said, "Phooey.”

stigation" made by H. B. Edwards,
Jr., Valdosta, the Demosthenian Lit
erary Society passed a motion giving
a vote of thanks to the students who
recently led the burning in effigy of

Contesting the motion on the floor,
Edwards, son of the fiery pro-Tal-
madge State Senator H. B. Edwards,

Atlanta newspapers as the “true lead

He claimed that the meeting at
which the petition-bearing motorcade

demning Atlanta Paper*
By Quimby Melton, Jr.
The red galluses and Herman were
missing, but some 50 University Tal
madge supporters met Wednesday
night and formed the University of
Georgia Talmadge Club.
A formal petition was drawn up
which stated that "we the friends of
| white supremacy are organizing to-
I night Into a group known as the
Talmadge Club of the University of
Georgia for tho solo purposo of scb-
ing that a fair and just presentation

| the University of Georgia.”
Papers Distributed
Immediately following the meeting
800 copies of the Btatosman, Gov
ernor Talinadge’s political newspaper,

club over the campus.
Lamar Coffin was elected tempor
ary chairman of the club. Wilson
Huddson was named secretary-treas
urer, and Jean A. Garrett recorder.
The three newly named officers sign

create the Impression that the vast
majority of the student body are op
posed to Governor Eugene Talmadge
in the stund he has taken with refer
ence to co-oeduratlon of blacks and
whites In tho University of Georgia.”
Condemning a letter sent to Gov

ence In headlines "even Inrgor than
those accorded to war In Europe
which is killing thousands of people
each day.’’
Florida Incident,
The letter sent to the Governor
stated that he was an unwelcomB
guest at tho Ocorgta-Florlda football

The petition concluded by declar
