Get Your Ballot
Octobor 27 Is thn last day on which Georgians
may apply for absentee bnllolM for use In tho presi
dential election on November 7, Arthur 8. Oldham,
chairman of tho Hoard of Registrars In Clarko Coun
ty, Huya.
All a registered voter need* to do to net an ab
sentee ballot la to aend Ida name and Athena nd-
dreaa to the Hoard of Registry In hla homo county
and Inelndn 26 cent a In HtunipH to cover poataye and
legally required registry fees to get tho ballot to Ath
ena. Students from Atlnnta, for Inatunco, would ad
dress their requests to "Pulton County Hourd of Reg
istry, earn of Tai Collector, Atlnnta, Georgia.'•
Thn ballot will have full Instructions us to how It
■nuBt be llllud out and returned to one's home coun
ty. All voting must bo dono In the presence of tho
post master or Ills assistant or a notary public. Tho
Athens postmaster says ho will witness voting with
out charge ut any tltno. Hnllots must bo In tho mall
on election day.
It Is too lute tor furthor registering; so those who
did not register before May 8 neod not write for bal
lots. Georgia Is one of the few states that have pro
visions for absentee voting, Mr. Oldham believes.
With this state's now law allowing 18-year olds to
voto u large uuinlier of students will need to get their
requests for ballots Into the mull In order to fulfill
their duties as citizens.
If thousands of University of Georgia alumni and
former studeuls cun give years of their lives to light
for American freedom, surely we students will spend
26 cents and make a trip to the post office In memory
of those men who have died tor our right to vote.

Cabinet Election
The Student Cabinet meeting Wednesday night
showed clearly that a large number of University
stndents do not have an understanding of the pur
poses of the Cabinet. These alms are set forth In
the preamble of the constitution of the Cabinet:
"We, the presidents of the recognised clubs on the
University of Georgia campus have formed this or
ganisation In order to consolidate the student body
In various actevttles and movements and to promote
student-faculty relations by being a group capable
of expressing the sentiments of the student body us
a whole. We atm not to Interfere with the already
established policies of other organUatlons cn the
campus but rather to unify the activities which con
cern the student body at largo "
• • • The Cabinet has as lts's purpose tho uniting
of students In activities and movements and promot
ing studout-facult^ relations. According to the pre
amble these are tho only two phases of activities
In which the Cabinet consider* Itself capable of rep
resenting students. According to the constitution
It Is not Intended to represent every student on every
question that may arise.
There Is a need for the Cabinet to unify presidents
of organizations on the campus. Through the strength
of their unity the Cabinet members have already show n
efficiency In war bond drlvca and In dealing with the
faculty.
A number of people at the Cabinet meeting were
heard to say with a great deal of dissatisfaction the
Cabinet is not representative of all the students. This
Is true. The Cabinet represents only that part of
the student body who participate In student activities.
• • • If there la need for an over-all organization
of the student body, then we need a new organization
to do the Job for such is not the Cabinet's function.
Perhaps those who have voiced dissatisfaction with
the present Cabinet will go about organizing a new
governing body. The way to do it Is not by tearing
up the Cabinet, however. It might be hoped that
•ome organization of all the students might bring
greater cooperation between the fraternity, sorority,
non-fraternity, and non-sorority students.
Dissatisfaction with the purposes and representa
tion on the Cabinet does not justify the action of the
representatives of 17 organizations who left the Cab-

Evading the Issue
By Marlon Broadhurst
To the Students of the University:
In the long view of student affairs on the Univer
sity campus it seems clear that we need and should
have an over-all all-campus organization to represent
all students. Despite the recent bickering in the Stu
dent Council, I trust that organization or some Blmllar
organization can be so modified that It will serve this
function. I cannot believe that with our general good
Georgia spirit that the groups cannot ultimately bury
minor group difficulties when there Is some program
that only a campus-wide support tan achieve.
Laying aside the personal differences of the moment,
the present structure of the Student Council might
be modified In certain executive details to become
workable. Possibly the present group or its executive
committee, since we have seen some of the weak fea
tures of the present constitution, can work out a con
stitution and a program that will be acceptable to all.
Several very feasible suggestions have been made to
eliminate present weaknesses. Certainly I believe In
the ultimate practicability of such an organization,
and I hope that we can eliminate some of the present
difficulties.
WILLIAM TATE.
Dean of Students.
To the Editor of the Red and Black:
The question of off Saturdays has been argued
pro and con by the students and faculty for many
years, and will continue to he argued for many more,
unless something is done about It.
I think the proposal set forth on this page three
weeks ago Is the logical one. Tills Is also the con
sensus of all tho students I have talked with, and
I havo not heard one dissenting vote or objection
voiced to this plan.
Many of the students take evert other Saturday
off anyway. With the "every-othor Saturday off"
plan tho only difference would he that the number
of cuts pur student would show a marked decrease.
Of course, there are two sides to any question.
The Rogues' Gallery has finally
been revealed, one at a time. Pan
dora proofs were distributed this
week—have you ever had to choose
the ‘‘least-had” of two horrors?
At first I bet I would look worse
than last year, but on second con
sideration decided that was Impos
sible. And the height of irony, a
blank enclosed to order prints and
enlargements .
Don’t throw your proofs away—
we’re going ot have an “ugly con-j
test" next week, with contests for
the most hideous.
“Up in Arms.” with Danny Kaye,
Dinah Shore, and Dana Andrews
makes a flrst-of-the-week run at the
Palace thl sweek. It stayed at the
Rialto for quite a while—-don’t miss j
it. This is Kaye's first picture, and
he really does It right. This is a j
man who will stick In movies, so see
him get off to a good start. It’s In
technicolor, too.
"Sweet and Low Down" with Ben
ny Goodman and Lynn Bari shows
the last of the week—good musical,
all round 0. K.
"The Uninvited” makes a return
to the Georgia, starring Ray Milland
and Ruth Hussey—best spook show
I’ve seen lately—you can see the
ghost in this—brrrrr!
Jon Hall stars in "The Scarlet
Claw,” a pretty fair mystery too.
Two more good returns. "North
ern Pursuit” with Errol Flynn, and
"Lady Takes a Chance" with Jean
Arthur and John Wayne—if you
missed them before, don’t do it
again.
The buzzer system in Candler
seems a little complicated to sound
so easy—you know, so many buzzes
for each room, then so many for
each girl in the room.^l
But if the young lady “holding
the fort”—at the call desk to you—
who goes to buzz, if she hisitates
slightly between buzzes, the wrong
girl comes down.
So she buzzes to the best of her
ability, and when half a dozen are
on their way down, yells which one
is wanted, and the others sigh and
return to their knitting.
One Navy cadet, after waiting In
desperation for some minutes, an
nounced in a loud voice, "One date
here, for whomever wants me.”
The Navy speakers are still In,
place on each floor, so why not hock
them up and put a microphone at
the desk, and then follow the time
tested system used on shipboard:
“Now hear this; now hear this:
Sally Jones wanted in the lobby.”
It would save a lot of time. It
has been said that the only way to
get your date on time is to call on
the phone before leaving home, ask
for her and then hang up, and arrive
just as they notify her that she is
wanted.
Fluker Stewart has received a let
ter from W. C. Parker, Waycross,
stating that William “Bill” Parker,
who will be remembered by his
many friends on this campus as an
outstanding student and all-round
"goo dfellow,” was killed in action
in France on August 16. We all re
gret to hear this and join with
Pinker in extending our sympatyh to
Mr. and Mrs. Parker.
It seems a novel sight to watch
students leave class in tee shirts on
Saturday and return on Monday in
overcoats. Truly has winter descend
ed upon us. and in desperation we
can only turn out the following re
mark:
Behold!
It’s cold!
Please let tho students know what the objections to
this plan arc. Then let both the students and fac
ulty vote on this Issue. If they can vote to decide
who will rule the world's greatest country even when
It is fighting for Its very existence, surely they can
vote Intelligently on an issue of this kind.
Action can do this, talk cannot.
EUGENE STUCKEY.
To the Students of the University of Georgia:
1 ain't tiind with nobody.
GUY B. SCOTT. JR.
(net meeting Wednesday night. If our democracy
in the coming years Is to be made up of flimsy peo
ple who cannot stand for what they believe to be
right In the face of strong opposition, we will land
in the laps ot the Socialists or Communists. It has
been pointed out again and again that only in dic
tatorships Is there real efficiency of government.
• • • It was a disgusting business for nearly two
hours while factions struggled to bring motions to
the floor and prevent other motions from passing.
Students on both sides are certainly the masters of
filibustering. Most of the students present broke par
liamentary rules at tome time. Perhaps only Mar
garet Montort Holt, who was acting chairman of
the meeting, Is blameless In this respect. The first
action after officers were finally elected was to cre
ate two sergeants-at-arms. It Is about time something
Is done when presidents of clubs cannot sit quietly
In a meeting to hear a roll call by the secretary.
If the Student Cabinet represents all the students
of the University, as some maintain that It does, then
we had better (1) learn to abide by parliamentary
procedure, (2) stick out a fight even If it means or
ganization of a new government on the campus, and
(3) learn to think In terms of what ts good tor the
whole students body Instead of our own little factions.

Fresh men Become r Rats 9
"Rat Week" officially opened on the Co-ordinate
campus Tuesday. It will continue until Tuesday of
next week. Among the rules that the freshman
women must obey are:
No freshman may wear make-up or bobby pins on
Co-ordinate. Rat caps are to be worn at all times.
Freshman girls will carry cigarettes and matches for
the benefit of upperclassmen. Smoking ts strictly
prohibited to freshmen. When walking upstairs, the
frosh have to do so backward.
At the sound of an upperclassman yelling "BUtz-
j krleg." the rats get to their knees and say. "Allah.
i allah. Miss . No personal pronouns may be
1 used. When a lowerclassman is addressed, she says,
"Lowly rat so-and-so of such-and-such a dormitory,”
before she finishes her sentence.
Martha Ann Christian. East Point, In charge of
Rat Week for Miller Hall, said. “All rats admit that
all knowledge which they have received has come
I from their superior classmates. They admit that they
' are dumb and ignorant in the presence ot a sopho
more."
On Wednesday, the Co-ordinate dining hall became
the scene of rat courts. Freshmen stood on chairs,
between mouthfuls of food, and entertained their
. upperclass tormentors. Some ate "square” meals;
some sat on the floor and enjoyed their dinners:
| while still others ate while straddling their chairs.

Roddy reports a new romance— 11
BUTTOLPH is still writing glowing j c
love notes to beauteous BETTY 1
BROWN. Congratulations, Betty! i
CHARLIE JOHNSON has been hit i
by Cupid again—this time It’s SAL
LY .WAKEFIELD. I
What's this about MARGARET !
JOHNSON and the KA’s BOBBY 1
SIKES? Relax, the triangle element '
was merely a rumor. *
Hot tip, kids! Odds among the *
sororities are that this year's "Sweet
heart of Sigma Chi” will be a Phi
Mu!
Those cute Elwood twins have
completely captivated TOM MON
ROE and ED C. CASTLETON. Ed
even forgot about L. B. last week
end, or was It vice versa?
MARTHA KENYON and AUDLEY
HARRIS have htt the rocks. Let's
hope Its only temporary, even If cute
MARTHA BOWEN doesn't.
"Purty” BOB DUNLAP has been
visiting the Trl Delta house a lot
lately, and GAYNOR ANDERSON al
ways seems mighty glad to see him.
MARJORIE RYAN has solved the
purse shortage. She was quite a sen
sation in the book store when she
took off her shoe and sock to get
out her book money.
Suave PAUL GIANNONI, an erst
while bachelor, has succumbed to
the charms of vivacious BETTY
EPPES.
Roddy's finally discovered why so
many of the boys, especially JIM
MY GIBBONEY, have suddenly be
come interested in flying. The
WOODS twins keep their private
plane at the airport and fly every
day.
We know it's LEAP YEAR, but
FLAP JERNIGAN and JOANNE
MAUPIN really are progressive-
minded. He’s wearing her diamond.
Maybe It’s a new trend though, EM
ORY BASS was sporting two huge
sparklers a week or two ago!
The latest to join the list of Phi
Mu's betrothed Is PEGGY SMITH,
who was a bridesmaid at BOOTSIE
CARTER’S wedding last month.
FRANNIE 8UTT0N seems to find
"Law" very interesting in her off
moments—or Is it the B. M. O. C.
"teacher?"
Joining the ranks of the pinned
is Pi Phi's VIVIAN NEWBERRY.
The lucky boy Is a Sigma Chi at
Emory.
Watch out, Augusta Med School!
MARY LOU NEVIN, ROSIE RISCH,
MARY TRUSSELL, STOOGIE ROTH-
WELL, and ANN KELLY are headed
that way this weekend!
Good omens for two Georgia
belles! CATHERINE MacDUFFIE
caught BOOTSIE CARTER'S wed
ding bouquet and MARGARET
WHITE caught ELIZABETH FAN
NIN’S.
Who's U. S. M. C. Identification
