20 Outstanding Students
Named To Who’s Who List
One hundred per cent of the In
ter-Fraternity Council’s Homecom
ing dance profits will be turned over
to the local armed services as an
opening move in the drive to get
tangible backing to the war effort
by University students.
It will be next week before news
can be released concerning the band
for the four dances to be held in
Woodruff Hall on the week-end of
the Tech-Georgia football spectacle.
The Council has run into many dif
ficulties throughout the past weeks
in its attempt to sign a top notch
hand for the Homecoming season.
Several musical organizations are
now under consideration but no
definte action has been possible be
cause of present conditions in the
orchestra entertainment field. Most
of the better bands have lost heav
ily to the armed services or are en
gaged in playing for service camps
over the nation. Others are under
long term contracts.
Not Elaborate
Ticket prices have not yet been
set. waiting the action on the price
to be paid the orchestra selected for
the week-end. But it was the gen
eral sentiment of the Council that
since the profits are to go in their
entireity for the benefit of the men
in the armed forces they will not
be quite as low as they were last
year.
The reason behind this feeling
was expressed by one member as
being that "students will know that
they are paying for something be
sides a band when they consider that
they are helping to pay part of the
price of the war by putting a little
more on the line."
The motion to give all profits to
armed services came after a talk by
Robert Troutman, University alum
nus, past member of the Council,
and present law instructor, who put
the situation up to the fraternity
governing group in straight lang
uage. He said, "There are boys,
our close friends, all over the world
laying down their lives that we
might continue studying here at the
University.
Small Dance
"Some of us accept little respon
sibility and seem not to realize that
there’s a war going on. The least
we can do is to- help back up these
boys with what little profit the Coun
cil may make from the Homecom
ing dances.”
There’ll be no decorations for tlie|

Council is cutting down on its spend- j
ing hut Bobby Bray. Atlanta, newly |

And now at long last comes the
big attraction, the main event, the
game of the seuson. Of course, the
annual brawl with Tech has its
points, but for a real game of foot
ball between not one but two line
groups of sportsmen, the Georgla-
Alubatnu tilt is u natural.
There will be bitter weeping to
morrow night and throbbing hang
overs Sunday morning, for somebody

Stadium in Atlanta Saturday begin

on to take the Southeastern Confer
ence crown nnd receive a bowl bid.
The game itself should be a clas
sic. The reserve strength and brute
force of the Alabama Crimson Tide

< ’olll pi etc Sell-Out
This battle of the year was a sell
out long ugo. Thirty-two thousand
fans have obtained tickets by one
method or another to see the leudlng
teams of this section and two of the
best in tho country get at each oth
er’s throats. Grantland Rice him
self and BUI Cunningham, sports
editor of Liberty magazine, will be
on hund to say, "I told you so" after
the game.
The Crimson Tide is rolling in
high this year, looking very much
liko the irresistible Juggernaut
which manned its way into the Cot
ton Bowl a year ago. Even with the
loss of Tater Head Jim Nelson and
fiery Holt Rast, Alabama had 19
returning lettermen to form the
nucleus of a fast, ruthless aggrega
tion.
As always, the Red Elephants
have a line which looks very much
like a herd of their mascots. But

averages around 2117 pounds, actual
