THE UNIVERSITY OF GEORGIA, ATHENS, FRIDAY, SEPTEMBER 2f>, Itir.o.
Number 2.
Workmen Add
Final Touches
To Press Site
Temporary Structure
Completed for $6,000;
New Equipment Planned
Finishing touches were being
made this week on a $6,000 tem
porary concrete building which
will be occupied by Journalism
school’s printing department after
Monday.
The building is located across
Jackson street from Main Library.
Meanwhile, University Press set
up offices in a vacant room in the
Reserve Library Building.
Emergency Measure
The cement block printing plant
was scheduled to be built next fall
as a warehouse, but was started two
weeks ago as an emergency struc
ture. The printing department and
press were forced to vacate Chan
cellor House offices so workmen
could clear the site for the new li
brary.
The presses will only be located
in the Jackson street building until
a permanent structure is erected.
The permanent plant will probably
be a subterranean building behind
Commdrce-Journalism Building.
The proposed underground build
ing would be constructed of rein
forced concrete, and its roof would
be used as a parking area. If ap
proved, the building would be erect
ed by plant operations workmen.
Expand Services
Added personnel and new equip
ment totalling $10,000 will enable
the printing department to expand
services within the next two weeks,
John S. Peters, printing department
head, disclosed.
Two small job machines—for
stationery, letterheads and cards—
have been purchased, and an offset
press, which has been stored on Ag
Hill, will be put to use in the tempo
rary plant. The department will put
special emphasis • on proofreading,
Peters said.
The Georgia Review business of
fice, formerly located in Chancellor
House, has moved to the reserve li
brary with the University Press. An
editorial office has been set up on
Coordinate Campus by Editor John
Eidson.

Officials Approve
Route for Highway
Between Campuses
By Marilyn Johnson
University officials, federal and
state highway authorities have ap
proved a tentative route for a federal
highway which would connect the
east side of Main Campus with Ag
Hill.
Preliminary surveying of the pro
posed road has been completed, Hom
er Nicholson, Clarke county engineer,
said today.
Approval has been made on the
general route only, Nicholson empha
sized. Before actual construction can
begin, the state highwuy board must
submit plans to the federal highway
agency for final approval. If the
plans are okayed, the state board
will then authorize Clarke county to
contract right-of-way claims.
Nicholson was unable to say when
federal authorities might be expect
ed to give the project a green light.
However, he did not think it would
be long.
The highway would extend from
Thomas street to Whitehall road,
connecting U.S. 129 with the Macon
highway.
Senior Parade, Dance Scheduled
For Georgia-Mississippi State Tilt
GOP Signs Auburn Knights To Play
On 'Official’ Homecoming Weekend
The annual senior parade has been definitely scheduled for the
Georgia-Mississippi State football game Oct. 14, senior class Pres. Ted
Evans, Jackson, said today. .
Simultaneously, Campus Leader Hill Elinburg, Buford, announced
that Grand Old Party will sponsor a campuswide dance following the
game. The Auburn Knights have been signed to play.
Although Athletic Association officials have named the Mississippi
State game as official homecoming, Elinburg said the dance would
not b8 tagged a "homecoming
dance."
The parade when seniors march
with canes and derbys has always
been a part of homecoming festivi
ties. However, celebration of the an
nual affair was in doubt when Inter-
Fraternity Council officials balked
at the Oct. 14 homecoming date.
Set Own Date
They set a homecoming date of
their own. and Claude Thornhill’s
orchestra was signed to play for two
dances and a concert on the Dec. 2
weekend when Georgia meets Tech
in Sanford Stadium,
Seniors and their dates will take
the field at halftime during the
Mississippi State game. No details
have been announced concerning the
march.
* No Halftime Allowed
Miss Homecoming will be present
ed at the Saturday morning concert
preceding the Tech game, IFC Pres.
Bob Reinhardt, Sycamore, said. He
said last week that Howell Hollis,
Athletic Association business mana
ger, had refused time for the presen-I
tation and senior parade during the
Tech game halftime.
A flurry of rumors earlier this
week indicated that IFC had engaged
Charlie Spivak to play for a dance
after the Georgia-North Carolina
game Oct. 7. Reinhardt squelched
the rumors, but said an effort had
been made to sign the band.

Fall Enrollment
Dips to 5,260
Danner Attributes Drop
To High Seliool Program
By Chuck Martin
Fall quarter enrollment reached
a total of 5,260 this week with a
scattered few students still com
ing in, Walter N. Danner, regis
trar, announced.
lie said he expected enrollment
to reach 5,300 by final registra
tion day, Monday.
Although this quarter’s student
body numbers about the snme ns
last spring's, the total is some 900
below that of fall quarter one year
ago.
Almost 2,000 of this quarter’s
registrants are new students—either
freshmen or transfers—while some
1,600 are veterans.
Danner said the 900 drop since
last fall was not so great considering
the fact that 2,250 students have
graduated since that time. He pre
dicted no further major drop.
A number of high school students
who normally would have entered
college this year were caught In a
12-year high school program, Dan
ner said, and this fact, coupled with
the decline in veteran students was
partly responsible for the lower en
rollment.
More than 7,000 students were
enrolled here during the peak post
war period.

needed to complete the structure,

week.
Anatomy classes and large and
small animal clinics will be con
ducted in the new building—rated
by the American Veterinary Medical
Association as one of the finest In
the world, Dean JoneB continued.
The original appropriation of $1,-
525,000 ban been used for all clinic
areas, which cover 45 per cent of the
building's floor space, Dean Jones
said.

when the state legislature meets in
January,” Dean Jones added.
Construction began In fall quar
ter, 1948, but sufficient funds were
not set aside for completion. Present
vet facilities will be used until more
funds are allocated, he concluded.

Brooks Introduces
Revision Program
For Georgia Taxes
A seven-point tax revision program
was laid before state tax revision
committeemen this week by R. P.
Brooks, professor of business admini
stration.
Brooks' program is based on a
three per cent sales tax which he be
lieves will "force every citizen to
contribute something to the support
of government.”
"It has often been said that the
majority of the citizens of Georgia
pay nothing in direct taxes,” Brooks
declared in presenting his proposal.
The program would reduce gaso
line. cigarette, liquor, and corpora
tion taxes, but would double the cost
of auto tags and increase personal
property levies.
“There Is no doubt that the time
is ripe for major changes in our tax
system, to the end that much-needed
funds may be obtained for improv
ing our public services,” Brooks de
clared.
The business administration pro
fessor said sales taxes had "saved the
financial” lives of slates which had
adopted them.
The cost of operating Georgia’s
government has risen 97 per cent
in the past five years, but govern
mental costs in other states have
risen 134 per cent, Brooks comment
ed.
