Our Social Program
Go«i Too Far
By LOIS TAYIAJR
Our country Is at war. Thousands
of American youth are dying for
their country—
our country.
Many more are
enduring untold
hardships.
But the Uni
versity of Geor-
g 1 a students—
just what are
we doing to
help? We do
have a fine spir
it. In two days
the "Twenty," a group of war con
scious Athens girls, sold $309.60 In
United States war bonds and stamps.
In contrast, at Navy Day, where a
large number of out-of-town guests
und Athenians attended, only $47.00
was purchased. So the students are
willing to do their part In this way.
We are all, I believe, genuinely
patriotic. We love our country and
sincerely want to cooperate In the
war effort.
There Is one thing we can do to
holp, a thing we must do. We must
drastically cut down on our social
program.
This fall every sorority and fra
ternity spent a week giving rush
parties and then the next several
weeks were filled with sorority tea
dances. We have a dance after every
football game. Surprisingly enough
there are more social functions this
yenr .than last year. We are wasting
money, rubber, and gas. Our armed
forces need all of this. Is a little
fun worth this?
The University officials will un
doubtedly put an end to many of
these social functions. But why
don't we students accomplish this of
our own accord? If an organization
of which you are a member has plan
ned a social function, suggest that
the money be used to fight the war.
Be proud to suggest It and be proud
to he a part of an organization that
does such a thing.
We must of course still have our
entertainment. We must carry on
aa normally as possible. But before
we spend money for social functions
think first what that money could
do for our brothers and friends,
think whom It might bring home
safely and quickly.
Next quarter let's make the social
calendar just a blank sheet of paper.
Let's dispense with unnecessary par
ties and dances and give our all for
the people, the Ideals, and the coun
try we hold most dear.
IMPROVEMENT
About our cheerleaders. They
have been severely criticized time
and again. Now they deserve some
praise—-and a lot of It. They are
present at every game enthusiasti
cally leading cheers in front of an
uncheering audience. They turn
flips and risk their lives (It seems to
me) and we sometimes notice It.
As one of them expressed It, every
week-end Is a “sore one” for them.
Since the beginning of the season,
they have improved tremendously.
All they can do now Is to pray that
something will inspire their fellow
students to cooperate. Together we
might work up a school spirit that Is
equal to the fighting spirit of our
team.

This 10-day service means that
I've been wearing my room-mates'
clothes for at least three days. And
of course then they have to stay in
bed. Whoever gets up first gets to
wear the clothes.
SONG OF THE WEEK
Now all this brings up a natural
for the "song of the week,” "Won
der When My Laundry's Coming
Home ”
EN ROUTE
The main topic of conversation
around the campus this week has
been the Georgia-Alabama game to
morrow. A giant exodus to Atlanta
this week-end is In the offing. At
least one-half of those going intend
to pull a fast one on the rest of the
students and catch the 6 o'clock bus
tomorrow morning. My guess is that
the station will be crowded at that
time. And then some hardy souls
plan to hitch-hike. But remember,
hoys, only the brave deserve the fare.
Millions fighting on the Russian
front, thousands In the Solomons,
yet what we are most concerned with
now is two on the 50-yard line.
About 10 per cent of those going
over won't even get to the game, an
other 10 per cent won’t see any of
It after they get there, and then 10
per cent more will see only what the
Georgia team does. This last one
may prove a very desirable outlook.
IT SAYS HERE
By now nil Intelligent followers
of the game know that the Bulldogs
will win by a score of 20 to 7. Slnk-
wlch, L. Davis, and McPhee will
score for Georgia. Alabama's lone
score will come in the second quar
ter. But I'd better stop before I go
out on a limb. Besides, If I tell you
too much about It now, you won’t
enjoy the game when you see It.
WEATHER REPORT
Fair In Athens all next week.
Meeting the
Deadline . .
With the Editor
W HEN the football team left for Cincinnati
last week-end, University students were not
on hand to give any kind of send-off.
Upon return from the long trip, the football play
ers expected students to be on hand to give them
some kind of a greeting. Approximately ten stu
dents were gathered at the Seaboard station to
welcome the team back to Athens.
We have one of the best teams In the country,
yet the student body can give no cooperation.
Some students thought the send-off to the Missis
sippi game would be enough for the entire year.
Student spirit reached its lowest ebb last week.
A stranger visiting Athens and having heard noth
ing about the Georgia team, would think we must
have a losing team. That’s what the spirit would
indicate.
The football team appreciates the backing of
the student body. The team represents Georgia
and the student body. They are winning for us.
The least we can do is show our appreciation.
When Is Graduation?
A CCORDING to information received from the
dean of student's office, no definite action
has been taken to establish a graduation date
for those seniors who finish at the end of this
quarter.
Approximately 200 seniors graduate at the end
of this quarter. Administrative officials can do
no more than set a date for graduation exercises.
Already Eugene Hudson, president of the senior
class, has made plans for the senior graduation
program. At a recent senior class meeting, It was
voted to have a graduation and the other com
mencement programs. To refuse Henior gradua
tion exercises In December would be the worst
move any faculty committee could maks.
Future Leaders
J UMPING the gun away ahead of schedule, the
GOP next w’eek opens another heated cam
paign for the coveted senior offices. Already
potential politicians are making unconditional an
nouncements and following up with oampaign
promises.
After discussing the matter for some time, GOP
leaders came to the conclusion that a fall quarter
election would be the only solution. Almost every
senior officer in the party is graduating at the
end of this quarter. Under the new plan another
election will he held In August when newly elected
officials graduate.
Again, as In the past, we want to see a clean
election. Last year's election was praised as the
most honest and clean in the history of the GOP,
and we want everyone to say the same of this.
In contrast to last year’s election, big Issues will
not be at stake this time. But although no issues
have confronted the student body this fall, we must
have leaders who can guide the student body
through the greatest crisis the University has seen.
The races will prove Interesting. We can hope
that students will use sound judgment amd select
Found In the Mail
Editor, The Red and Black:
Much has been said during the
past year with reference to the ser
vice being rendered by the Univer
sity Laundry. Perhaps some of these
statements were exaggerated It Is
entirely possible that they were not.
Students on Lumpkin Street will
bear me out In what I am about to
say. We send our laundry on Fri
day and. as usual. It was picked
up on October 16 at dinner. We had
been informed that the laundry
would only give week service after
school started. We called the fol
lowing Friday, but attendants at the
Laundry Informed us that It would
he delivered Saturday. Several tele
phone calls the next day still found
us with no laundry. We were as
sured of its delivery Monday.
Monuay night we railed for the
third time that day but the delivery
truck would not be able to bring it
that ntght. The Laundry was sorry
that It could not give better service
and reminded us that urs was not
the only laundry that they handled
We were aware of that fact long be
fore the service became so uncertain
The Laundry officials do not seem
aware of the fact that some students
on the campus do not have enough
money to afford a month's supply of
clothing. I know several students
who were torced to either borrow
shirts or not go to church and Sun
day School over the week-end. In
these cases, everything is all right
until the Laundry keeps our clothes
for 12 days, as was the case in this
instance.
We realize the fact that the Laun
dry has been rushed since the Navy
came to the campus. We are glad
it was arranged that way. We do
feel, however, that the Laundry
could have foreseen the rush and
should not have been compelled to
sell tickets to the University Laun
dry without at least warning the
students that service would be Ir
regular. We could have sought
other places then, instead of now.
to get our laundry fixed.
We admit that these are trying
times, but we also fel that every
thing possible should be conserved
and not wasted as has been the case
with almost any article sent to the
Laundry. We have been delayed
when we Inquired concerning a re
fund for the balance of the quarter.
ELMO HESTER
the best men.
Remain Orderly
P RACTICALLY every student will he la Atlanta
this week-end for the big game. The least
we can do In Atlanta is to remain orderly and
act in a manner that should be typical of Univer
sity students.
During an emergency such as exists today, Uni
versity students should act as any real American
would. Saturday at a big football game or at any
other place is no time for students to act in a
disorderly manner.
The University is judged from what people on
the outside see.
About the Laundry
T O TELL the truth, we can do nothing about
the University Laundry. It Is true that the
Laundry Is handling a tremendous business.
The best a student can do Is to ask for refund
and have laundering done at another establish
ment.
The letter In the column, "Found In the Mall,"
is a typical example of the student protest against
the Laundry. We suggest that you read It—It's
all the truth.
