GEER ADDRESSES DEMOSTHENIAN SOCIETY
Lieutenant Governor Defends States’ Rights
At Demosthenian
Geer Supports
4 States Rights’
By RON MUSSEL WHITE
Lt. Gov. Peter Zack Geer Wednesday night announced
his willingness to stand anywhere to defend the right of
states to govern themselves.
Geer, addressing Demosthen
ian Literary Society, spoke on
the subject ‘‘Where is America
Going?"
States’ rights, he said, means
a state has the right to govern
itself, to elect its own officials,
its chief executive, its legis
lature and lias a right to state
courts. Voting for municipal
officials lie noted is exercising
state rights.
"It is because we have exer
cised these rights at a local
level that we have remained
free.” he said.
The 10th amendment to the
United States Constitution,
Geer continued, is the voice of
the people saying “Thou shalt
not" to the federal government.
Its purpose is to insure local
s e 1 f-government through
states’ rights. This amendment,
he said, has been largely ig
nored by federal courts.
UGA, Georgia’s stumpy White
know that government is cre
ated to serve us, and not we
to serve it. This is the differ
ence between the American
system and Communism.
Diversity of opinion, he said,
has made America great. Con
formity and uniformity mean
we are on the road to tyranny.
He warned that we are moving
rapidly in a direction that will
usurp our freedom.
The desirable government is
a government by order and
law, one which is responsive
to individual rights and to the
needs and responsibilities of
individuals, Geer said.
In a question and answer
period following the speech, he
said that federal courts should
get back in the business of
construing the United States
Constitution as it reads.
The judging will take place
Saturday morning, Nov. 16.
ltass says that decorations
must be ready for judging by
9 a.m. Each entry must meet
the $7.60 entrance fee, to be
paid to tlie office of John Cox,
director of student affairs by
Wednesday, Nov. 13.

1. Aptness and clever
ness of theme—30 per cent
2. Originality—30 per

3. Artistry and Crafts

Winners will he announced
at the football game with tro
phies going to first, second and
third place winners of both fra
ternity and sorority entrances.
The three judges for the con
test will be representatives
from the 1FC, Panhel and

tug secretary of the council,
presented u report iiased on In
formation received from the
Bell Telephone Company cou
nting the possibilities of in
stalling the system on campus.
He said the benefits of the
system would far outweigh its
cost to the University. The new
system would cost the Univer
sity about $800 por month more
than its present telephone sys-1
tent, according to telephone
company reports.
Dorsey said the Centrex plan
would make it possible for
each dormitory room and fa
culty member’s office to lie
equipped with a private tele
phone if the occupnnts so de
sired. The University would
pay only for the installation of
these phones. Students would
be responsible for tlielr own
telephones and would pay ap
proximately $1.50 a month for
their use.
He added that the new sys-
tein would relieve the Athens'
telephone system by creating a
separate system for the Univer
sity. He said there are now 28
lines coming Into the Univer
sity, hut that the Centrex sys
tem would make approximately
3,000 lines available on cam
pus.
