Roddy Ratcliff
Pious Sororitv <
j
Innocent Sister
By June Suratt
Yore Unc Roddy is spittin’-fire
mad. . . .Yep, rip-roaringly. . . Came
about from all this. . . Seems that a
certain sorority pledged a young
lady. . . Roddy emphasizes the word
“lady” because in all genuineness
that’s ,what she is. . Her sisters,
through malice, stupidity, or perhaps
jus’“for the hell of it, black-balled
this young lady because some vicious
rumor about the Miss’s character
was begun by some other young lady
(And Rod uses the word here ques
tionably). . . A hasty word can never
be recalled, but actions sometimes
can. . . Uncle Roddy is joining the
forces composed of two or three fra
ternities who asked the sorority to
reconsider. . . To take a woman’s
man away is understandable, but
why take her heart? ....
Something new has been added. . .
And what’s more it's red-headed. . .
Charlotte and Joe Conkle, of Hot-
Lanta and points everywhere, are
the very proud parents of a little
fiery haired daughter. . . Miss Uni
versity of 1965. . . .
Roddy hears some weird tales in
his travels but the one told about
the object BARNEY MAYER saw
climbing out of the dormitory win
dow at 5:30 ayem, waking him up as
IT did (Notice Rod uses a non
descript pronoun) and saying “Mind
if I use your window to leave
through?”, well that takes the award.
And BARNEY still insists that he
was asleep at 5:29 ayem. . Oh well,
into each life something must fall. . .
You know, triangles just don’t
exist in algebra as much as they do
here on the campus. . . Take the
ials Condemn
as lloddv Boils
w
CLAUDE KENT-M ARI AN WEST-
C.EORGE PENDLEY which might
have been obnoxious as well as ob
tuse triangle. . . Pendley wanted
Marian. Claude had her. Pendley
went after her. Claude said he was
through. Pendley got her. Claude
said he could have her. Marian
hasn't said a word. . . Sour grapes
somewhere. . .
MAXINE SHAPIRO, the dynamic
blonde, got that ring for tho third
finger left hand—the diamond one.
He’s JAKE GOLDSTEIN. . . .
QUICKIES: WALTER KELLEY
was absent from two tests on a Mon
day because he stayed over in Hot-
Lanta to date a certain lassie. . . .
RHODA and VIV have the phones
tied up completely at the D Phi 1J
house. Seems that ART WACIITEL
and JERRY MICHAELS jus’ won’t
let ’em alone. Not that the girls
want ’em. . . . MARY REED and
BILL NAPP never let a meal pass
by—without the other one. They’re
that hungry. For each other
ART PARSONS flew to Miami for
the air show. Returning he was
grounded in Jacksonville. The weath
er he said. Roddy says POLLY DAY-
EY. It just sooooo happens that the
gal lives there. . . . Roddy says if
you don’t know WILMA ELLIS,
meet her. She’s the awe-inspirer of
the day. . . . Another GSCW lass has
captured another UGA man. She's
BILLIE BUTLER. He’s JOE ER-
QUITT. . . . Just what is wrong with
the UGA co-eds? Fools, fools, fools.
Give it up as a bad job and go home!
EARL JOHNSON can't eat, he
can’t sleep, he’s gone crazy. For ev
ery day that passes there's a letter
that passes with it—From Earl to

Georgia's Possibilities . .
(Continued from page four)
Wheels, Wheels Everywhere;
you in Georgia with "stately" affec
tion—only let It be critical affection
—and see to what measure the love
ot virtue and good order now pre
vails. Look sharply where you look: j
and do not confine your looking to
Caucasian fnces. homes, habits, cus
toms, health and institutions.
Yet, along with one or two other
southern states. Georgia has the
largest per capita attendance at or- 1
ganlzed religious services in the
country. In few, if any, other stntes
ure the traditional principles of
morality and religion more ardently
encouraged.
The fact is, of course, that a purely
personal morality and religion are (
not necessarily conducive to the pub
lic love of virtue and good order;
which is gently and humbly to sug
gest that we need in Georgia, as we
need everywhere in these times, a
re-discovery of the social and ethi
cal implications of true religion.
Students at this and other univer
sities, reared in a religious environ
ment but critical of this or that ap
parent weakness of organized re
ligion, are wont to say, "We’ll have
no more of it!" The tragic fallacy of
this lies in the fact that religion is
ours not only to accept but, In its
emphases and even to some extent
in Its content, to re-deflne and re
evaluate.
If not nlone the province of re
ligion, and if not the only aim of* re
ligion, certainly the love of virtue
and good order are primary concerns
of religion. Count, then, among Geor
gia’s possibilities a vast and sincere
religious impulse; but to make a
great possibility (which otherwise
can and must remain only n possi
bility), place yourself squarely in the
center of your chosen religious or
ganizations, and, by the intelligent
interpretation and application of
morality and religion, plant, culti
vate and grow In Georgia the love of
virtue and good order.

Wheels, of one sort or another,
turn steadily throughout the rol
ling hills of the University campus.
There ore a number of different
types of wheels; some attached to
convertibles; some turning smooth
ly in the administrative machinery
of the University, and some attend
ing classes—occasionally.
This last type of wheel is the one
which we propose to discuss. No
doubt they spend some of their time
negotiating the rolling hills, but
their other negotiations invite the
greatest interest.
First, we may consider the wheel
who represents himself as the
"friend of tho common man." He
purports to protect tho common man
from the evil designs ot those who
bnnd themselves together in little
restricted groups. He takes it upon
himself to represent the majority of
the student body.
Next, we consider the wheel who
represents that body whom he terms
the “select." He corners the com
mon mun nnd Invites him to escnpe
the anonymity of the "mnsses.”
When the transition hns been com
pleted, tho select common man Is
introduced to the principle of "uni
fied opinion," and the wheel there
by feels justified in representing
himself ns the spokesman of a good
ly portion of the student body.
Then, there are the wheels who
rise to occasions. It mntters little as
to what the occasion may be; the
wheels can be depended upon to
rise. This type of wheel volunteers,
with tho aid of a very small minority
of "representative” common men, to
relieve the majority of the task of
expressing themselves, and spouts
out opinions, resolutions, declara
tions, and petitions, purportedly ex
pressing tho opinion of the common
mun.
The fact that the common man
rarely knows about these opinions,
resolutions, declarations, et al, until
after they have been roleaBod, Is
apparently of little concern to the
wheel. He does not ovortly disre
gard the opinions of the common
mun. He simply relieves him of the
necessity of expressing them nt all.
Of course, every wheel has his
own little following; members of the
student body who subscribe to his
petitions, support his causes, give
lip-service to his resolutions, und
carry the burden of his sympathies.
Some of the wheels are even care
ful to enumerate their hosts of
shadowy followers, but many do not.
Some wheels, or groups of wheels,
Imld-facedly claim the support of
Business Students
Offered New Major
A new major In statistical work
has been provided for business ad
ministration students, announces
| Dean Alvin I). Blscoe. Students se
lecting the statistics major will take
analytical geometry and calcujus as
well ns advanced statistics.
An opportunity will be afforded
those students majoring in statistics
to take some advanced work In one
| other special field so they may pre
pare for statistical work in adver
tising. marketing, hanking insur
ance, industrial relations, or govern
ment service, according to Dean Bls-
coe.
The new work in statistics, first
| of a new series of courses to be of
fered by the College of Business
Administration, Will bo proffered
jointly by the mathemuUcB depart
ment nnd the College of Business Ad
ministration.
I)r. Gregor Scbba. newly appoint
ed associate professor of economics,
will servo as the major advisor for
this concentration group.
Dean Iliscoe ndvlses that students
desiring a major in statistics will be
eligible for entrunce In June.
hundreds of students who have never
concerned themselves with the
wheels’ activities to any degree. In
any case, these wheels take it upon
themselves to release opinions to the
public which Imply tho whole-heart
edly support of tho entire student
body.
Sometimes these opinions do rep
resent the opinions of the student
body—purely by chance. In many
cases, however, they do not. In other
Instances, different wheols present
conflicting opinions to the public
which imply thnt the student body
Is not quite certain of what It thinks.
And so the wheels roll pompuous-
ly on, assuming the license to publi
cize their views with the Implication,
either deliberate or coincidental,
that those views are those of the stu
dent body as a whole. With all the
grace and subtlety of a bull-dozer,
the wheels roll over the privileges
of individual students to withhold
or to express their opinions as they
see fit. Tho common mun is loaded In
uncounted lots upon one bandwagon
or another, and transported down
some unfamiliar roud by a group of
presumptive minority wheels dis
playing all the humility of a tax col
