No Change?
Dean of Student* Joe Williams revealed
Wednesday that no changes are planned for
the parking lot in front of Candler hall, which
was made an all-faculty lot before the begin
ning of this quarter. Candler’s car owners
must continue parking each evening at the
Co-op parking lot, or arise from bed before
8 a.m. and move their cars from the forbidden
ground.
Williams did give encouragement that the
situation would be alleviated in the future. He
said that tentative plans call for Candler hall
to be made a freshman dormitory by next fall
quarter. Also, long range plans call for class
rooms at Aendemie building, as well as others
on north campus, to be moved to south campus.
These changes should prove worthwhile, not
only in relieving parking problems in the con
gested area near the Academic building, but
in making use of the parking lot behind Stogc-
man ball and the one now under construction
opposite the science center. However, for the
present, some temporary solution should be
worked out for the enr owners of Candler hall.
The Red and Black again proposes that these
students be given special permits allowing them
to park in the Candler lot. If this is not feasi
ble, these students should be given the oppor
tunity to move to another dormitory.
We Keep Whit
Georgia Tech head football coach. Hobby
Dodd, made a desperate attempt to steal the
best assistant coach in America Georgia’s
.1. H. Whitworth. But we defeated Tech ngnin.
Coach Whit says he is happy in Athens and
wants to remain with the champs.
Had Dodd been successful, be would have
added a tower of strength to his personnel,
and would have created a grent depression in
the Georgin system.
The defensive mnster’s status had created
much concern with all loyal Bulldogs. Stu
dents, alumni, and Bulldog fans everywhere
bad become highly interested in the likeable
fellow’s plans for the future.
Congratulations to Coach Whit for his wise
and timely decision. We nre overjoyed that
you are loyal to the Rod and Black, nnd pledge
our support to you for the wonderful job you
are doing for the University.
Your return lias inennt much to Georgia.
You belong to us, and we hope you will remnin
with us indefinitely. However, we don’t blame
“desperate" Dodd for bis attempt to buy your
services for Tech to help toward putting them
back on the winning track.
Two Birds--One Stone
A startling notice of the most alarming
nature appeared last quarter on the bulletin
boards of various campus residence buildings,
condemning villnins of the most dinbolieal
nature who have been corrupting the virtue of
industrious little scholars.
In a malicious mass exodus to the Hall
Dunlap Little Memorial Library, these fiends
calculate to disturb the budding geniuses in the
pursuit of the glories of culture.
It seems these delinquents have been talking
while the good children nre trying to study,
and the library personnel are very distraught—
or so it appeared from their sanctimonious
little epistle.
So in order to exile these criminals to more
appropriate surroundings, we urge that the
Co-op remain open at night until 0 or 10 p.m.
The Co-op is recognized ns a hangout for
those who wish to appear studious, nnd here
the demons may pursue their more primitive
pastimes, cloaked in the cover of darkness.
And then the pious little lambs may study
in the peace of the catacombs. The rest may go
to—the Infirmary.
High Heels
University social life’s youngest child will
get her first pair of high heels, in a manner
of speaking, this weekend.
From the moment a girl dons her first pair
of “heels,” she fancies herself as a very mature
young lady and is ready to do great things.
It is comparable to the day a young man shaves
for the first time.
The newest sorority on campus, however, has
proved itself capable of doing notable things
during its stay here, and on Saturday
will receive its charter. Several visitors
from the national chapter will be present.
Commendation is due to Gamma Upsilon of
Alpha Xi Delta for their accomplishments thus

A Good Move
It was with a great deal of pleasure
that I read recently of Governor
Ernest Vandiver’s plan to appoint
Itoy V. Harris to the Board of
Regents.
This will mark the second time
Harris has been a member of the
Regents, having served In that capa
city from January 1951 until Marvin
Griffin failed to reappoint him In
1968.
Harris, president
of the Georgia
States' Rights
Council and one of
the South's best-
known segrega
tionists, Is a con
troversial man.
His publication,
the weekly Augus
ta Courier, is a
controve rsial
newspaper. Many disagree with
Harris' views on segregation, but no
one can argue with his contributions
to education in the state of Geor
gia.
Much of Harris' work toward the
improvement of education and educa
tive facilities in the state has gone
unnoticed, because he has often
worked in the background, letting
others roveive credit for his deeds.
However, his efforts in behalf of the
University in particular and educa
tion in general cannot, nnd should
not, he overlooked.
A close friend of President O. C.
Aderhold since the days when both
were students here, Harris worked
hand in hnnd with Dr. Aderhold for
passage of the Minimum Foundation
Program for education in Georgia.
Harris also was a strong advocate of
the Georgia Sales Tax, which is used
to finance the Minimum Foundation
Program.
On the local level, Harris did a
tremendous job in helping make the
University’s dream of a science cen
ter become a reality. He was of
vital assistance in pushing through
a dormitory program for the Univer
sity during his previous stint on the
Board.
Harris’ reappointment to the
Regents places two political figures
of sharply differing views in import
ant education positions. James S.
Peters, chairman of the State Board
of Education, recently criticized Har
ris’ position on school closure to pre
vent integration, in a highly publi
cized letter to the Augusta lawyer.
Peters, like so many other Geor
gians, has “given up the ship." He
believes that “some form of integra
tion is inevitable.” Harris counters,
"I do not believe integration is in
evitable. On the contrary, I don’t
believe we’ll live long enough to see
it.” Their divergent ideas should
make interesting reading in the near
future.
Many have found fault with Harris
in his fight for segregation. This is
due, I believe, to his methods rather
than his ideas on the subject. His
strong, near-libelous language in the
Courier, his attacks on Atlanta Cons
titution editor Ralph “Rastus” McGill
and on Hope, Inc., seem crude and
outdated.
Rut, as has been said, none can
attack him for his efforts in regards
to education. His record for the
past 10 years plainly shows his in
terest in higher education and in
securing the mony for it here In Geor
gia. 1 am confident that his return
to the Board of Regents will prove a
beneficial one, both to the state as
a whole and to the University.

What Are Grades?
A series of articles recently published in The
Atlanta Journal has attempted to show that ac
ademic standings of students in the College of
Education at the University are below the aver
age for all University students.
This was done by using tables illustrating grades
compiled by students in each school In English 101
and 102, social science 4, mathematics 100, human
biology 1 and 2, and political science 1.
This table showed that educa
tion majors were below the
school average in five out of
seven of these courses, going
slightly above the average in
math and social science. Phar
macy students were above aver
age in only human biology 1 and
political science, and home eco
nomics students were above aver
age in only two courses.
Agriculture, forestry, and business students were
below average in every course. Fine arts majors
were above average in the English courses and
math. Journalism students were above average in
all but the biology courses, and arts and science
majors were above average in every course.
Two education professors then showed that ed
ucation majors fared very high in average of
grades over the complete four years of college.
The University average for males in all schools in
this category was 79.5 and for females was 83.2.
Males in the education school tied for second
with journalism men for a 80.7 average and ed
ucation school females led the campus with 83.5
for four years. Arts and Science school men led
the University with 81.9. The lowest female ave
rages were recorded in journalism and the lowest
male averages were in business.
If you wanted to base the quality of students
on grades alone, such as the Journal has done,
you would have to consider the grading standards
of each school to determine the real validity of
these four year averages taken from the 1958
Bachelor graduates of the University.
Grades on basic courses, or on the four year
level, tell very little. Some schools that had
low marks on the basic courses such as pharmacy,
home economics, forestry, and agriculture turn
out better prepared graduates for their field than
do schools where the students fared high in these
courses.
A pharmacy student spends a quarter working
at the infirmary and Athens General Hospital
along with his clasa work. A home economics major
lives in a special home for a quarter where she
plans and prepares all meals and keeps the home.
These students have had experience and most
of them know a good bit about what they will do.
This is much more important than marks on a re
port card each quarter. Nothing can replace
practical experience.

Careful Gents
Ladies: What do you want when you choose a
husband? Men: What do you THINK women
want a husband to be?
A nationwide poll by Parade magazine stated
that men and women have widely differing views
about what constitutes a good husband.
The poll asked 3,000
women and 3,000 men, “Which
one of these qualities do you
personally consider the most
valuable and desirable in a
husband: —A) good lover,
B) good provider, C) good
father, D) good friend?”
The ladies answered as fol
lows: 41.6 per cent said good
friend," 33.1 per cent chose
"good lover,” 18.1 per cent picked “good father”
and 7.2 per cent said "good provider.”
Of the men polled, 62 per cent said “good pro
vider," 17.4 per cent chose “good friend,” 16.3 per
cent picked “good father” and 4.3 per cent “good
lover.”
These figures may surprise some people, but my
guess is that they will change with the whims of
the people polled, especially the ladies.
In view of these facts, I would advise the men
to sharpen up on their friendly tradits and loving.
But gents, be ever on the lookout for a sudden
change or different trend in female thinking. Be
alert, gentlemen!
