Republican fever nm lii<;li on tit' I'niveisity campus Tuesday
night.
Jeff Watts, Slate Chairman of the Young Republicans Club,
opened the Republican meeting it: the Chapel by saying “It is time
that Georgia stopped being in bondage to one party. It is time to
forget the Civil War and emerge as a part of the United States
It is time we stopped being taken for granted."
In regard to integration. Watts
said that "there is a very definite
difference in the platforms of the
two parties. The Democratic plat
form says that “all schools shall he

Dorsey was introduced by Dick
Herndon, second-year law student.
In the following weeks the Demos-
thenians will sponsor a speech by Dr.
George Parthemos and a debate to
conclude a series of three meetings
on the presidential campaign.
Parthemos will give an analysis
of the philosophies of both parties,
the major issues, and the campaign
in general.
On Nov. 2 the organization will go
on record for one of the candidates.
All students, regardless of party af
filiation, are urged to attend the

Watts next turned on the Demo
cratic candidates, by saying "Johnson
is not a Southern Congressman. His
ADA (Americans for Democratic Ac
tion) record, showing a person's
southern standing In regard to vot
ing, is only 10 per cent. Kennedy has
a 10 per cent record, and Talmadge
and Russell have 65 and 85 per cent
records, respectively. Sen. Barry
Goldwater has a record of 100 per
cent.”
Agriculture was a prime
topic.

Watts said that "former Secretary
of Agriculture Wallace (Roosevelt
administration) has said that Ken
nedy's program is socialistic. The
Republicans have been blamed for
driving the farmers away from the
farms, hut under Roosevelt, 7 V4 mil
lion left the farms; under Truman
4 % million left, hut under Eisen
hower, only 1 V4 million have left the
farm."
Walts stated that "the farmers
blame Benson for their troubles, but
Benson's programs huve never been
put into law. The present farm laws
were passed in 1934.”

en a sudden and unexpected chance
to make n comeback as the lead In
n new production.
Olivia Wright, veteran University

Christian Picks
Senior Apparel
Senior Clnss President Charlie
Christian has established the derby
hat with cane as official for seniors
at Homecoming. Christian, ia reach
ing this decision, discussed the his
tory of the senior mnrrh at Sanford
Stadium.
He said that during the early thir
ties. n costume parade was held and
judging was held for the host cos
tumes. This parade became unsuit
able and In some cases even vulgar,
so the parade in this form was dis
continued.
Apparently the parade of today's
seniors evolved with derby hats to
set seniors apart from underclass
men, according to Christian.
Traditionally, the senior class
president and initiates into Sphinx
lend the parade, followed by seniors
and their dntes.
Christian said the official huts und
canes for Homecoming may be pur
chased at John Q. West’s.
