What they think
Professors and students, asked their opinions
on having regularly scheduled off-Saturdays, ex
pressed themselves thus:
DR. GEORGE II. 1H)YD, dean of the Graduate
School: The subject has been talked back and
forth many times. About a year ago a faculty
committee studied it and turned the suggestion
down. I don’t think there is any possibility of
its passing. In truth, off Saturdays would suit
my personal convenience, and we could stop the
system of having staggered hours. However, that
is not an opinion from an institutional point of
view.
DR. ALBERT SAVE, assistant professor of
political science: 1 am in favor of having some
time off for research.
UEOK(|E F. BLAIR, assistant professor of
drama: I am definitely in favor of having every
weekend off. 1 think students and teachers can
do better work after the weekend rest.
JIMMY DuVERN'ET, junior, Phi Delta Theta:
l think it's foolish to go on with this old-fashioned
system. (XT weekends might cause freshmen to
go home more often but I think upper classmen
have grown used to the campus and would not
go home more often.
FORREST CHAMPION, law student, campus
leader: 1 like off Saturdays for I’ve seen the
system working at West Georgia College and at
Emory University.
MISS EVELYN SELLERS, supervisor of wo
men’s activities: It doesn’t matter to me, but I
think a lot of students leaving might have a
detrimental effect on a social program planned
for the cultural benefit of the students.
GUY B. SCOTT, senior, president of Student
Council: 1 want to have off Saturdays but a
Council committee found it almost impossible
to schedule all the classes and labs with an off
weekend.
HUBERT B OWENS, head of the department
of landscape architecture: 1 would like some
time to work in the gardens of the department
and do research in the library. Other teachers
would probably like time to work in their labora
tories.
MARGARET LILLY, senior, president of Party
of Organized Women: I would like to have off
Saturdays, because 1 think students should plan
their trips home on regular weekends instead
of cutting classes to go.
KaREN SMITH, senior, president of Pun-Hel-
lenic Council: 1 would like to have off Satur
days and discard the off-day system. I think
social affairs would be planned for weekends
when students were sure to be on the campus.

Our sympathy
We extend our sympathy to Margaret Matters,
Presbyterian student secretary, who was called
to her Missouri home Wednesday by the death
of her father; to Virginia Miller, whose fiancee
Ensign Earnest Cole lost his life in a plane
crash; and to Inez Barber, whose brother sacri
ficed his own life to save those of his fraternity
brothers in a fire at Georgia Tech.
THE RED AND BLACK, FRIDAY, OCTOBER
Evading the issue

Were you among the loyal few who
stuck out the Inclement weather and
stayed through the game last week?
There was more standing up to put
on and take off raincoats than there
was for cheering.
It was un Inspiring sight to stand
on the steps of Candler and watch
various unrecognizable creatures as
they crept, dripping and forlorn
back to where they wished they'd J ur Y-
flooring was for. "To dance on, of
course,’’ he replied. If they have
all that room for dancing, there
won't be much left for us to shoot
bull.
Or sleep.
Some guy had the nerve to give
the Chapel bell a couple of pulls
after the tough time we had last
Friday. No use adding Insult to In-
stayed all the time.
The Palace next week has "Andy j
Hardy’s Blond Trouble” with—you
guessed it. It seems O.K.—if you
liked the others, see it. You haven’t
seen Lamour lately—see “Rainbow
Island,” co-starring Eddie Bracken
—he of the flexible face.
Bette Davis In "Old Acquaintance”
returns to the Georgia—good acting.
Cagney's here twice—"Frisco Kid"
and "Oklahoma Kid"—quite a kid
—oooooh! Also, Tyrone Power and
Myrna Loy In “The Rains Came"—
old, hut O.K.
They tell mo the Co-op is “nearly
finished.’’ I dropped In to look at
It today—"nearly” is a big word.
Hardwood flooring la down—very
nice. Bunch of new furniture in
too.
J asked one man what all the new
Speaking of the bell, new girls at
Candler were distressed to hear of
the practice of ringing until mid
night after a victory. Please don’t
worry enough to make you pull for
the opponents, girls.
We see more and more freshmen
without their rat-caps these days.
It’s something to be proud of and
worn thus, kids, not an article to
leave in your room to decorate the
dresser. Let’s see you all with them
on tonight.
Orchids to the Navy for helping
with the cheering last week, even
though we all labored with a wet
spirit. Keep It up. mates!

JOANNA SHERMAN has made a

The wildest tale of the week be
longs to "Wild BUI" Tate, who
swears that a war vet tried to en

he wasn't a WAC, either! In tact,
he was a 190-pound hunk of all man
with a chestfull of campaign ribbons
and medals and had had two ships
blasted out from under him. It turn
ed out that he owned four hotels ...
so he ended up at Cornell where
real courses In hotel management
are taught.
LITERATI: Professors CLIFTON
HARPER, LOUIS EDMONDSON, and
Red and Black's FLUKER STEW
ART have all succumed to the urge
to create . . . Harper’s Is a regional
novel of Louisiana, Edmondson's a
supernatural drama. Stewart's a
"campus life” picture which he says
he doesn't dare finish 'til he grad

be enough for somebody to throw a
literary tea!

Editor The Red and Black: .
The Student Council of the University of Geor
gia is holding its first meeting of the current
school vear next Wednesday night. The outcome
of this meeting is of utmost importance to every
St ’Ve"v few of the students on this campus know
anything about the Council. This deplorable con
dition is easily explained. The Council is so
formed that a very small minority not only con
trol but make up the Council. The representa-
tion is composed of the heads of all the clubs
and honorary fraternities on the campus Every
student in a club knows that the head of his
organization does not represent him. A presi
dent is usually elected because of popularity or
excellence in the special field that his club cov
ers. When they are elected, no thought is given
to true representation.
The student who does not belong to any club
is well aware that they are in a large unrepre
sented majority. They know that several mem
bers of the Council hold the vote of several clubs
and that they always vote in accordance with
their own personal convictions and very rarely
for the several clubs they represent.
At the coming meeting, the Council members
will be urged to re-organize. A tentative plan
will be presented where representation will be
on a housing unit basis. Each unit will have a
minimum of one representative and a maximum
according to numbers. Students living in town
will have their representatives, also in accordance
to number. By this method, each student will
share in the governing of the University, and
each Council member will be able to report to
their constituents the rulings of the Council and
also their vote on the subject. This way, if the
Council member does not truly represent his
backers, he may be rejected at the next election.
To be really worth while, this plan must be
backed wholeheartedly by the entire student body.
The present Student Council got its start from
the club presidents. Since modem, democratic
government must get its start from the people,
this Council cannot rightly govern the students.
Lets all get together and push this worthwhile
project over the top. Let’s demand true repre
sentation in the governing of our student affairs.
Urge every club president you know to attend
the meeting and vote for this issue. Those who
don’t vote for it are only trying to hold an un
deserved position of importance. Let’s get rid
of these demagogues.
Sincerely yours, '"
ARTHUR HEYMAN.
(EDITOR'S NOTE: .Arthur Heyman showed his
letter to Forrest Champion who was in The Red
and Black office. Champion, who opposed the meas
ure, was induced to put his arguments on paper.)
lCditor, Red and Black:
J note with interest the letter of Mr. Heynlkn
to you with regard to the Student Council. His
plan* in as faulty as his reasoning.
He would have representatives of all housing
units members of the Student Council. This
is not cttly impracticable, it is virtually impos
sible undcT the present housing set-up. Hundreds
of student?* are Irving at houses throughout Ath
ens; if all were given representation, the Stu
dent Council would be a most cumbersome body.
Anyway, what objeet would it accomplish!
The Student Council ait present bus power to do
only two things of mayor importance. First, to
conduct all campus-wide drives and second, to
conduct all campus-wide elections. Do we need
a horde of representatives to do this! A. r e the
presidents of the clubs on fhe campus so d, ’ void
of ability that they can’t perform these sh ’‘P 1 ®
t unctions? If so, the Student Council sKouM b ®
disbanded at once.
Mr Heyman sheds phoney tears about th e
presidents not representing the* opinions of ffct ‘
nffpr° U fs C l al ?i; ^ hat P° s dive' guarantee doe3 he
offer that the representatives ®£ the housing'
refleet the opinions of their con
