Whiskey might not flow as freely
as it did at the Tech game, but the
name of the bowl will supply the
difference as Old College and Cand
ler Hall meet in their annual Whis
key Bowl Classic. The teams will
meet in Sanford Stadium at 2:30
tomorrow afternoon in what prom
ises to be a fast and exceptional ball
game.
Following the game the Georgia
Bulldogs will furnish music for a
Whiskey Bowl dance in Stegeman
Hall. The dance is sponsored jointly
by the two rival dormitories and ad
mission will be 50 cents stag or
drag. The dance will hold forth from
8:30 to midnight.
Practice for the two elevens has
been hampered by the lack of equip
ment since all coaches were out of
town this week and none could allow
the use of the pads. However, the
game will be played under standard
football rules and varsity uniforms
will be used.
Bill Faust, coach of the Old Col

well pleased with his charges, al

Caldwell Outlines Program
For Campus Improvements
Speaking: at the Sunday night meeting of Blue Key, national honor
society, President Harmon \V. Caldwell outlined four distinct phases
necessary to the improvement of the overall standards of the Uni
versity.
Dr. Caldwell described the build-i
lug program of the University and
explained reasons for the delay In
beginning construction on some of
the buildings for which plans have
already been prepared. Among these
buildings are a boys' dormitory, a
girls' dormitory, u student union
building, and the modern library.
"The officials and faculty wel
come tte active cooperation of stu
dents in the task of raising the Uni
versity’s standards.” Dr. Caldwell
stated and asked Blue Key members
to consider what they and other stu-|
dents might do to help the University
in four specific ways.
Student cooperation In main-!
tenanee of buildings and grounds !
was the first need outlined by Dr. ■
Caldwell.
"The general conduct of the great
majority of students Is excellent, but!
the actions of a few students In
such matters as cheating—tend to i
give the whole University a repu
tation it does not deserve," asserted I
the University President. He asked
for the assistance of student lead-!
rs in improving the ethical stand
ards of the campus.
The third major need discussed
by Dr. Caldwell was that of coope
rative efforts by faculty and students
to raise the academic standards of
the University.
Final point in Dr. Caldwell’s talk
was the desirability of giving to the 1
public generally a better under-
i'andlng of the objectives of a State
University and the efforts of the
University of Georgia to achieve
'hose objectives. He expressed his
belief that students can render aid
In accomplishing all of these de
sirable ends.
Following Dr. Caldwell's talk.
John Mobley, Jefferson, stated his
opinion that students with low aver
ages should be dropped; that the
