THE UNIVERSITY OF GEORGIA, ATHENS, GEORGIA, OCTOBER 10, l»4a.
Student Actors
To Produce
'Saint Mark"
Started on Broadway
Nine Days Ago; By
Anderson
By Fay Watkins
"The Eve of Saint Mark," Max
well Anderson’s latest Broadway
hit, will be produced by the Univer
sity Theatre this fall, L. M. Ballew,
head of the drama department, an
nounced today.
^ “The play, which opened in New
York only nine days ago, received
high praise from critics, and I sin
cerely believe,” Mr. Ballew stated,
"that this is Anderson’s finest."
Student subscription prices for
season tickets, which went on sale
today, have been set at 85 cents,
the lowest in the Theatre’s history.
Purchase of season tickets will net
the student 80 cents, Harvey Kir-
stein, Theatre business manager
sa id.
Faculty tickets, also available to
townspeople, will sell for $2.20.
Subscribers will be given first choice
on the reserved seats.
The cast and production dates
have not been announced, but It is
expected that the campus premier
will be held during the latter part
of November.
The other two productions which
will compromise the remaining
schedule this year will probably be
announced next week, Mr. Ballew
said. "The Eve of Saint Mark" was
secured through the National Thea
tre Conference and by special nego
tiations with Maxwell Anderson.
This will he the first Anderson play
produced at the University.
In his column for October 13,
Walter Winchell wrote the follow
ing about the opening of this play
on Broadway:
"The theatre had itself a boom
last week. Maxwell Anderson,
whose plays have won all the prizes
there are. seems headed for anoth
er with 'The Eve of Saint Mark.’
A heart-breaking tale about the life
and death and love of a soldier, it
sent the reviewers to their approv
ing typewriters. It received inspir
ed pretending from Mary Rolfe, Al
ine MacMahon. William Prince, and
all their co-workers. The Sun’s Mr.
Lockridge tagged it ‘stirring and in
vigorating’.”
Tickets are on sale at the busi
ness office In the Fine Arts Build
ing.
Clauses Will Be Halted
On Alabama W eek-End
Classes will be suspended Sat
urday, Oct. 31, giving students
a chance to travel the 72 miles
to Atlanta to sec the Alabama
game, William Tate, dean of
students, announced Wednes
day. President Harmon Cald
well approved the measure as
suggested by Dean Tate in a
letter that named the day as a
“suspension of classes” rather
than a "holiday.”
The technical difference be
tween a holiday and a suspen
sion of classes is that in the
former students can be fined $2
for classes cut the day before or
after the off-day; while in the
latter case students cannot be
fined.
A heated contest is in store as
both Georgia and Alabama have
been rated in the top three
teams of the nation. Georgia
students are expected to flock to
the Gate City threatening the
record set by the motorcade last
fall.
Pep Meet, Shirtail Parade Tonight;

On December 3rd
Politics Begin
For Freshman
Only Two Enter
Presidential Race
Wednesday night found only two
candidates entered in the race for
the presidency of the freshman
class as Tom Penland, campus lead
er, set the date for the G. O. ?.
nomination for October 28.
Frank Dorris, Douglasville, had
won the prelminary nomination to
represent Camp Wilkins, while Wal
ter Smith, Macon, was being backed
by Clark Howell, the freshman dor
mitory.
The election will be held in the
left wing of Memorial Hall from 9
until 5 on October 28. In the past
Woodruff Hall has served as a bat-
loting place, but Memorial Hall will
be substituted this year as the Pre-
Flight School is using the gymna
sium daily.
Many freshmen are now living in
town and the candidate with the
largest hacking in his section of the
campus may not win the nomina
tion. The freshmen election will
open the political season on the cam
pus.
Elction of campus leader, presi
dent of the senior class and other
class fflcers, will be held later in the
quarter, according to Penland. The
general election will follow the
G. O. P. nomination. The general
election will be held during the lat
ter part of November or the first
part of December.

Annual Campus to
Coordinate Race Will
Close Gathering
By Willis Johnson
A "G” Club - Inter - Fraternity
Council dance, a gigantic student
body pep rally, and the annual shirt-
tail parade are on the docket for
this week-end in addition to the
skirmishes with the Tulane “Green
Wave.” The pepper-upper is going
to be staged in Sanford Stadium to
night at 8 p. m. with the lights, the
cheerleaders, and the band.
Immediately following the meet
ing, freshmen men will unattlre
themselves and march in the shirt-
tail parade minus shirt-tails. This
has been one of the feature attrac
tions for the freshmen as a body In
the paBt, and with a cool breeze
blowing from the north, plenty of
spirit is expected.
Begins at It
After the game tomorrow after
noon, Naval Pre-Flight officials will
clear the decks at Woodruff Hall
for the second in the series of
dances sponsored jointly by the In
ter-Fraternity Council and the "G”
Club. The Bulldogs start tooting at
precisely 9 o’clock and the admis
sion price will be fifty-five cents, tax
included.
The dance profits go to the fra
ternity governing body's funds
building up for the Homecoming
extravaganza and to the Bulldog
lettermen's organization for better
housing facilities for the club. Due
to the generosity of the Council last
year in allowing students the low
est ticket prices in the University’s
history, it is now slightly below the
minimum monetary limit which is
supposed to be kept on hand. Mem
bers have expressed a hope that to
morrow’s function will build the
funds back up. The revamped, re-
Juvinated Georgia Bulldogs orches
tra is slated to furnish the Jive with
Maestro Kumla Kahn on the podium.
At the pep meeting a few words
of inspiration and entertainment
will be offered up by Coach Whit
worth, Dean William Tate, Dean R.
M. Slrozier, and a representative or
two from the ball team.
Compulsory Parade
No freshman is excused from the
shirt-tail parade, mapped out to
Warm things up. Social functions
being held at that time have been
requested to halt for the duration
of the march on Coordinate by the
declothed freshmen. The path of
the Athens tour will be from the Sta
dium, through town, on out Prince,
on to Coordinate.
Ruses have been hired for the oc
casion and all Coordinate women
must come to the meeting. Trans
portation charges are already ar
ranged for and women at both Lucy
Cobh and Coordinate will be taken
care of. The buses are to leave both
places at 7:30 p. m. and will return
the women to Coordinate in plenty
of time to see the finishing stretch
of the classic contest.
Men who are to participate in the
race are warned by Tom Penland,
campus leader, to come adequately
shod and clad for the festivities.

Strong Tulane Team’s
Captain Also From
Youngstown
By Rip Herring
A battle of backflelds that is like
ly to uncover every trick in offen
sive football strategy is in store for
Georgia fans when the Bulldogs and
Tulane's rolling Green Wave clash
in Sanford Stadium tomorrow at 3
p. m. EWT.
Tulane boasts by far the most
formidable quartet of backs Geor
gia has faced or is likely to face
this year. Roth quarterback Wal
ter McDonald and left halfback Lou
Thomas are on the All-America
check list. And that excludes Jim
(Rubber) Ely and Julian Brignac
at winglmck and fullback who round
out a versatile nnd lethal secondary.
Spearheaded by the foxy field
general and explosive blocker Mc
Donald, the powerful Tulane attack
is centered around Thomas who runs
with all the speed and Mowing grace
of famed Don Zimmerman of a de
cade ago. Lightening Lou is a bulls-
eye pasBer and a punt returner with
out equal. Last year he wiggled
and snuke-hipped his way through
an entire North Carolina Tarheel
eleven for u 102-yard kick-off return
for six points.
In front of this polished set of
pigskin phantoms is a line averag
ing a bruising 200 pounds. Among
this aggregation of mastodons are
ends Comer, Rowland and "Big
Moose" Porter, 200-pounders all
who will give Poschner and Davis
all they can handle. At the pivot
post and backer-up is cagey Law
rence Rice who is tho equal of God
win or Khrhurdt—and bigger.
Although Tulane has been an in-
and-out team for two years and this
Is supposed to be their "off” week,
the Bulldogs are not depending on
It. Coach Claude (Little Monk)
Simmons, like all other 8. E. C.
coaches, is laying for Georgia and
his many-sided attack is oiled to
perfection.
Simmons and his Green Wave are
calm as clams ns (hey contemplate
the coming tilt. More than that,
they are eager and confident of a
victory. They point to the 21 to 13
stomping administered to Sinkwlcb
and Compnny In 1940 and say,
"We'll do It again." Coach Sim
mons openly ndmtts his boys aim
to stop the famous Frankie perma-
