Campus Elections
At Georgia
By M)IS TAYLOR
Campus elections at the University
of Georgia ure not campus elections
in the full sense of the word.
Tlie (i. O. P. controls campus elec
tions. We admire the G. O. P. and
its loaders and
the excellent
service it ren
ders to the Uni-
versity. it
works s o m e -
thing like this:
Any non - fra-
t e r n i t y man
who aspires a
class office
turns in his
n a rfi e to the
campus leader. The G. O. P. then
has an election to nominate one of
these candidates for the office. All
of the nominees are put on a general
ballot which is open for other candi
dates. But there are no other candi
dates and the nominee is automat
ically elected.
The junior and senior women stu
dents are completely left out. At
Coordinate College they have their
own class officers and have received
valuable training in leadership.
When they become uppperclassmen,
their chances for leadership have
suddenly vanished. They do not
even have a chance for an office.
Something must be done about
this. We want the boy or girl to
lead us who is best qualified to do so.
Loyalty to a party or to a group
should not overshadow loyalty to
our class and to the student body as
a whole. Political tie-ups should
not keep an able and well-qualified
leader from taking bis place at the
head of his class.
Our class officers represent us
all of us. Let’s remember that.
We must make the campus elec
tions truly campus elections.
A POSTSCRIPT:
Last Saturday the spirit at the
football game just wasn't. Honestly,
I doubt if the players knew they had
an audience.
In the first place, the cheerleaders
should lead yells at more opportune
times. We should yell at time outs,
between quarters and the half, or
at least not begin a yell just as we
are about to make a touchdown.
At the Tulane game I am going to
yell so loud and long that people will
turn and stare; that is, unless they
are yelling so loud themselves that
they can’t hear me. That. I believe,
would be Georgia spirit.

1. Cooperation with the war effort.
2. Greater college spirit at fonttmll game*.
3. IteduciHl prices at Imok stores.
4. Hotter student-faculty relations.
5. A eleatt and liontYd student body that is
respected l»y the whole nation.
Low Ebb
fTVIE Georgia football spirit reached its lowest
X ebb Inst Saturday. The fault lies with both
cheerleaders and the student body. What
soever no cooperation could he obtained when stu
dents were asked to yell.
During this week many students have person
ally initiated drives to bring about a bettor spirit
on tho Georgia campus. It was through the efforts
of Campus Leader Tom Penland that the send-off
was given the football team when they left for the
Ole Mis* game Thursday morning.
Tony Carr, who has been active In assisting Pen-
laud In tho drive for a unified football spirit, has
this to say:
"The fact thut the students at the University
show less spirit than any college of Its size In the
nation Is well known to all of us. Wo have not
been yelling at the games nor have we been doing
any too well at the pep meetings. We, as students,
should realize that the Navy, having taken over
our dormitories, should only make us stick to
gether. The football team ts only human and it
is human nature thut they can play better hall
when the student body Is really behind them
"The freshmen should show up at the Tulane
game with rat caps and get into the true GEOR
GIA spirit The upperclassmen are laying down
on the job as well.
"I want to know Just why our cheerleaders have
left the Job of leading the yells to someone else.
Cheerleaders are elected and should put their po
sitions before any other student activity. This,
they are not doing at the present time."
Tony Carr voices the opinion of every loyal stu
dent who wants to see real spirit on the campus.
At the Tulane game we want to sec the real spirit.
And we want to see the Ulnversity band take a
more active part la our spirit.
It was a disgrace when the band marched down
the Held Saturday and without turning and play
ing anything before the student body, marched off
the Held. That was sloppy.
Only two members of the Georgia band were
present at the Thursday morning pep meeting. The
excuse is uo practice. That’a a poor one, as we are
now ending our second week of school—which is
plenty of time.

Pardon Me, Boy; Is
That The Memphis
Choo-Choo?
From deep in the heart of The Hed
and Black social club this little epis
tle comes to
you. All around
me t h ere is
great confusion.
The scene re-
s e m I) 1 e s the
motion picture
stereotype of a
big newspaper
office. Some
misguided souls
are actually
working. But
the majority
are just jelly
ing.
This whole week has been rather
social. (Aren’t they all?). What
with tea dances going every after
noon at tea, the Co-op all morning,
and Moon-Wlnn’s all afternoon,
things are in pretty much of a dither.
It got to such a state Wednesday
that the Uhl Kappa "literary” so-
clety just didn’t bother to meet
Wednesday night because everybody
was at the Chi Omega pledge dance.
Admitted business-like President Bob
Lipshutz, “1 was there, too."
TENNESSEE EXCURSION
Then that little session at the rail
road station was quite nn affair
Thursday morning. From the amount
of spirit displayed there compared
with the showing at the game last
Saturday, it seems that the logical
thing to do from now on would be
to play all the home games just be
fore daylight so the students would
have some pep. Quoth one player
upon arrival at the station, “Damned
if they ain’t got more spirit than I
have." That’s quite a compliment.
Gene FJlIenson said that he was very
happy that the students turned out
to send the team off because it was
the first opportunity he had had to
view the rather interesting new crop
of freshman girls. And the glamour
girls held up extremely well on their
early morning sojourn.
COME, COME. ELEANOR
Last Sunday the pictures of two
of our "Mrs. Roosevelts" of the fu
ture were in an Atlanta paper. These
two students who find time to go to
school all week and then go home
and do war work as a debutante on
the week-end are none other than
Kay Young and Eleanor Troutman.
Eleanor was quoted as being some
what appalled by the lack of bridge-
playing finesse on the part of the
men in uniform. I know that dis
tresses the general staff. Almost as
much as the fact that comparatively
few of our soldiers can speak Hindu
fluently.
Army camps will now be supplied
with placards giving tips on bridge
playing, such as, “Early to bid and
early to raise will make you a dull
partner.”
Found In the Mail
Editor, The Red and Black:
Last week I was very disappoint
ed to read in one of the columns on
the editorial page an article about
racial equality. Our University was
in its deplorable conditions because
of the short-Hlghtedness of some peo
ple who wanted to agitate this ques
tion. The students have fought hard
all summer to redeem the good name
of our college. The people of Geor
gia have spoken In no uncertain
terms about the place of those who
desire to stir up such cheap issues.
But now we And that on this campus
there are those who want to draw
our state and school still further
into disgrace by keping alive sisues
that have been decided, once aud
for all.
The students of the University
system have rallied behind their
leaders and have won a victory for
education in Georgia. When one
reads articles like the one published
last week, one cannot wonder if
there exists sabotage in the schools
of America. The Red and Black
should devote its columns to con
structive work and in an effort to
keep the student body united against
all who.would destroy what our fath
ers have spent years building When
one attempts to stir up strife aud
create false issues, then it is time
the students again rise up.
We have worked hard to keep our
school above the levels of oblivion,
and to protect it from enemies from
without. We are in the struggle up
to our necks and this ts not Just
cause for trying to stir up discussion
now.
If wre would all work for the bet
terment of the University and try to
solve the problems now at hand, I
believe that we would find no time
to stir up false race issues. We have
been saved from this threat once.
Why drag ourselves into such a sit
uation again!

Editor, The Red and Black:
Last year several movements were
begun to build steps to Ag Hill from
the football stadium. At the time
the administration told us the Navy
would build these steps.
When I returned to school I ex
pected to find the steps but the old
dirt path remained there. There is
no reason why the school or some
other agency cannot build these
steps. Approximately one-half of the
student body has classes on Ag Hill.
If a gate at the entrance of the
campus can he built, we can have
steps to Ag Hill. I hope the admin
istration will consider this letter, and
make some arrangements for build
ing the steps.
It is not easy to climb this hill
every day. And that’s just what
students are doing. It will not cost
much to construct steps up this hill,
and it is a problem that should be
given immediate attention

RUNNING SMOOTHLY . . .
. . . after school has been in session only two
weeks, BILL BLASSINGAME and NORMA BLACK
MON . . . Phi Mu’s who finally settled down after
the annual pink tea party up the Gaw-Jan.
GULP AND TAKE IT . . .
. . . Uncle Roddy said he had to take his juke box
to the little outing Sad-dy night . . . but KUBLA
KAHN spilled the beans when he turned up with
a jam-up band which had me wondering if maybe
it wasn’t HARRY JAMES up there playing . , .
they dished out the music . . . and the kiddies took
care of the rest.
BACK! AGAIN! . . ,
. . . ERNIE VANDIVER said he didn’t like the
Navy and New York and came home . . . we know’s
it was that appealing blonde, TUREA MAY . .
maybe he got hold of this column two weeks ago
and read the real report.
HOOKUPS CONTINUED . . .
. . . ABE WIENSTEIN, former big girl admirer on
the campus, hooks up down Mississippi way .
but he’s in the Army now . . . Uncle Rod went a
little ahead on the STANFORD SMITH-MARTHA
COOPER get-together . . . the hitch came last Sat
urday ... I went off schedule one week.
LEADING THE PARADE . . .
. . . Clark Howell boys turning out en masse for
the send-off at 5 a. m. Thursday morning . . .led
by "JUDGE" JOHNSON . . . KENNY MOCK,
champion of white supremacy on the campus, giv
ing everything he’s got—including his job—for
deah ole JAW JAH . . . RENE HAWKINS, out
standing freshman leader, scoring high on a phys
ics exemption exam to prove that some freshmen
can still think . . . Uncle Roddy kindly bows to
any male who has leadership, character, and
BRAINS without making the fact obvious.
THE LADY . . ,
. . . One of the Waddell Street lassies, FRANCES
ALLEN, new-comer from Columbus, comes through
with a second helping of
glamour, beauty, oomph,
and attractiveness to win
first honor in Uncle Rod’s
little book. Uncle Rod spot
ted her at the “G” dance
where the fellows flocked to
her like men to the bur
lesque of "Strip Polka”
fame . . . She has more
curves than a mountain
road, more attraction than a cartoon by Petty.
She can eat crackers in my bed just any old night.
IT JUST AIN’T . . .
You know I figured I must have ben sitted in
the enemy sections last Saturday, 'cause nobody
yelled for Georgia . . . from what I saw no cheer
leaders were doing anything ... we elected ’em
last spring . . . and It’s their jobs to get out theer
and show us how to yell ... I kinda thought I
must have been at a pink tea party . . . Usto we
would carry on in all sorts of ways in the stands
. . . that’s the first time I's gotten up at t o’clock
but I creaked down to the train Thursday and saw
the team off . . . the spirit was fair . . . might have
been a real sight better.
JUST DON’T . . .
. . . The sororities down Milledge gave their an
nual smelly parties this week . . . although I didn't
have an invitation, I went just the same, to get
the low-down . . . there wa sno low-down to get
. . . except a bunch of butterfly gals trying to "air
out” new pledges . . that’s what I did ... I aired
out the door . . The TRI DELT affair was a flop
and the PI BETA PHI dance was just about a
barn and horse get-together
FOR THE WEEK-END . . .
. . JIM PAULK will be mooning with TOOTSIE
JOHNSON at the Lambda Chi ride up into the
Alps tonight LOUIS CARLTON escorts cur
vaceous KAY YOUNG . , . JASPER TILLRY will
ho stringing along with JACKIE SMITH . . . CAL
VIN MEEKS takes on GENA HOGGARD as his new
sparring pardner.
TOPS!' . . .
. . Sorority pledges who don’t know what it's all
about will be parading before the hungry eyes of
Sigma Chi’s tomorrow .. . Uncle Rod envies the
judges who will be measuring for the "Modern
Venus” . . . they’ll probably be too old and blind
to know what’s up, anyway . . . I’ll make my own
pick for Sweetheart, just looking on.
