"To develop love for play that will
persist in post-college days; to fos
ter true sports
manship, and to
develop health
ful attitudes to
ward living
which leads to
happiness nec-
e s s a r y for a
successful life."
This Is the
purpose of the
Woman’s Ath-
1 e t i c Associa
tion of the Uni
versity of Geor
gia This organization is playing a
vital role in the present war effort
on our campus.
The physical fitness of the Amer
ican people is of prime importance.
If we must work together, light to
gether, and live together success
fully, we must be physically fit.
Today we stress Americanism. If
we had a good citizenship medal I
am sure that Miss Amy Slocum of
the Physical Education Department
and a leader in the W. A. A., would
he In the race for It.
First, she is a leader. While at
the University she was a member
of Mortar Hoard, Phi Kappa Phi,
Pioneer Inner Circle, president of
Delta Delta Delta sorority, of W. A.
A., and for two years president of
Student Government. Her name ap
peared in "Who’s Who in American
Colleges and Universities." Today
there has been no slowing up for
Miss Slocum. She is as charming,
and capable, and energetic as ever.
She works—not Just mornings, but
afternoons and nights—and she in
spires others to do the same thing.
Second, she is an organizer, with
the knack of seeing things as a whole
and then putting scattered pieces to
gether to produce a marvelous piece
of work. The manner in which she
has handled Intramurals Is an ex
ample of her ingenuity as an organ
izer.
And then, she Is a sportsman, em
phasizing fair-play and good sports
manship. Competition is keen, to be
sure, but winning is not in itself
significant.
Do not these qualities embody our
American principles?
The armed forces are protecting
our country. To them we pay high
tribute.
In the next paragraph, however,
we would honor those persons who
are preparing the youth of America
to serve their country, both now and
forever. Tomorrow this youth will
be America. Strong men with train
ed minds make a great nation. So
congratulations to Miss Slocum and
her W. A. A. No whacks are due
their way.

Stadium Black-Out
The black-out, staged during the Georgia Pre-
Flight-North Carolina Pre-Flight game, did not
receive the complete cooperation of the atteading
crowd.
University of Georgia students have been di
rectly blamed. The fault did not lie entirely with
the students, although many cigarettes were lighted
in the student section following the darkening of
the stadium.
In all fairness, it can be said that the confusion
did follow the black-)out and full instructions
could not be heard
When, and if, another black-out is staged in
Sanford Stadium the student body can do no more
than cooperate to the fullest extent. The public
has Its eye on Georgia students—they will be
quick to criticize.
We want the public to know that the student
body is ready to cooperate with any war program.
For Home-Coming
THR HKD AND I1LACK STANDS FOR:
1. Cooperation with Uie war effort,
t. Greater college spirit at football game*.
8. Reduced prlcea at book stores.
4. Hetter student-faculty relations,
r*. A clean and lioneat stndent bod) that is
respected l>y the whole nation.

Now is the time for all good men
to come to the aid of the pho
tographer. He
needs it. By
now all of the
camera-shy and
otherwise stu
dents have got-
teu a glimpse
of their respec
tive pans in the
proofs of the
Pandora pic
tures.
The $64 ques
tion of the mo-
moment is which proof to put In the
yearbook. Miss Jackie Bush, noted
pictorial discriminator now on the
campus, gives this advice concerning
ibis vary pressing problem: "Just
choose the one which you like best,
because after all no one Is going to
look at it as much as you are."
DERBY DIRT
Looking over the past week-end,
the Sigma Chi Derby looms high in
my memory. After seeing all those
girls in their abbreviated costumes,
there Is no doubt about the truth of
the stutement of the poet, to wit:
"There is a destiny that shapes our
ends, rough hew them as it may.”
Romances used to drop off by the
stadium-full after the boys and girls
started going in swimming in the
spring. Now they don’t last that
long. The Derby nips them in the
bud.
The best event of the afternoon
was the stretcher race. As the brave
little pledges got in the stretchers to
be hauled over the terrain by four
of their cohorts, they had a resigned
look on their faces. And no wonder.
Before the race was over, each rider
had bruised shins as a result of poles
falling on them, and oilier bruises as
a result of being dropped.
FROM THE PAPERS
On the 12 th of October there ap
peared this head in one of the At
lanta papers—"How I Discovered
America — by Christopher Colum
bus.” What an ungrateful world!
A man makes an outstanding contri
bution to the world and then he is
forgotten and he has to write for the
newspapers to make a living in his
old age.
A California professor is writing a
dissertation on the subject, “How a
Worm Conducts His Courtship."
Most any co-ed around here could
give him inforation on that.

We have heard nothing to date concerning an
orchestra for the Homecoming dances, November
27, 28.
This may be the last quarter students can enjoy
the average college privileges. We have Woodruff
Hall for the occasion, and we can have a band to
play there.
Compulsory Wasserman
University officials promised students during the
summer months that Wasserman tests would be
made compulsory during the fall.
To date we have heard nothing about such tests.
During the present emergency, or at any other time
for that, matter, it Is essential that students take
such tests.
The quarter Is three weeks old—and we want to
see the compulsory Wassermans given.
The University has the facilities with which to
give these tests. The administration has stated
that tests would be given following completion
of registration.
The Home Front
Last sprlug several patriotic drives were Ini
tiated on the campus In cooperation with the
national war effort.
But, suddenly, all enthusiasm disappeared. The
many spirited clubs on the campus have not even
attempted to sell stamps and bonds.
Although the patriotic ideas are old, we can
continue to respond and do our share.
We may think we did enough when we gave up
our dormitories and responded to the many pro
grams of last spring. But that can be no reason
for slowing down this fall. Every club on this
campus, If It calls itself active, should be behind
some program which will be in cooperation with
defense.
The soldier in New Guinea can do a hetter job
If the home front continues It all out effort.
The University Laundry handles a big business,
hut at the same time it is hard to overlook com
plaints made from the student body.
Laundry Service
This week, alone, students from the many
groups on the campus have asked that something
be done to rectify mistakes made at the lanndry
plant.
It Is true that the plant does operate at full
capacity but It can give student laundry consid
eration. This week, for Instance, many students
have stated that they have lost as many as three
shirts. Other students have complained of the
late service given by the laundry. A laundry car
ried to the plant on Monday will not return until
the following Monday and sometimes it Is later
than that.
We know the laundry has more than It can do.
but at the same time better service can be given
students.
