Brenau Deputation
Team Gives Program
At University Here
By DOYLE JONES, JR.
The deputation team from Bre
nau college, Gainesville, present
ed a program this week in the
University Y. M. C. A. rooms
before what E. L. Secrest term
ed ‘“the largest crowd this year.”
The visiting team was com
posed of Misses Julia Gatewood,
Atlanta, president of the Y. W.
€. A.; Virginia Baughman, More
land, Ky., vice-president of the
“¥”; Alma Pack, Greenville, S.
€., treasurer; Grace Hooten, Mc-
Donough; and Florence Cox,
Gadsden, Ala.
“Some people have more wealth,
others more intelligenc and bet
ter opportunities, but we all have
one thing in common, and that is
one life to live,” said Miss Alma
Pack. She added, however, that
we do mnot take life seriously
enough, that we do not plan our
lives, and are always tossing it
aside Wi&l “gsomething will turn
up some day and then I'll take
.
Comparing religion to life in
surance, Miss Pack told how
every day, every week, we pay a
premium of love, faith, courage,
and charity, and how at times we
feel that it is not worth it, and
are prone to quit. But by remain
ing loyal and faithful to the
‘cause, she relate¢d now in the end
each premium and payment will
be made in full.
People, says Miss Pack, ques
tion the practicability of relig
jon, We think of religion as too
real and aesthetic, something that
just exists on Sunday, she added,
but religion is practical. Through
schools, hospitals, churches, she
cited the means by which we are
carrying out Christ's command in
a practical way, and are bringing
religion to thousands.
“There are two views of relig
ion,” said Miss Virginia Baugh
man. “The people of the ‘short
view’,” she added, “Interrogate
the benefits of religion and cast
the issue aside. Those of the ‘long
view",” she asserted, “assume the
attitude that we are here for &
purpose and that life is worth
investing, developing, and sav
in‘.ll
Miss Frances Cox rendered two
plano selections, Joyce Kilmer's
“Trees,” and “The World 1s
‘Waiting for the Sunrise.”
Bringing the program to an end
Miss Grace Hooten read “The
QGarden - Across the Street” by
Zona Gale.
The meeting was presided over
by John Bond, Toccoa, president

the affirmative side of ‘“Resolved,

The occasion was the annual
sophomore debate of the Ag club

Thursday night.
The losing negative side was
composed of D. L. Evans, Hazel

mean for the Supreme Court to

power would be unique in this
Democratic country.”
After stating that the Supreme

by the Y. M. C. A. at the Y. W.
C. A. vesper service Thursday
evening in the “Y” rooms on the
University of Georgia campus,
The subject of Mr. Bennett's
talk was “The Eternal Christ”.
In part, he said: “There are many
religiong today which may well
receive our favorable considera

Mohammedanism.” “The leaders
of these faiths led highly spiritual

Joint Recital
By RICHARD JOEL
A joint recital by Minna Hecker,
soprano, and Francis Mitchell
pianist and accompanist, is al
ways a musical event of unusuzl
interest. The two Atlanta artists,
guests of the Music Appreciation
Hour, were enthusiastically greet
ed Thursday evening in the Uni
wersity chapél by one of the larg
eat audiences of the current sea
son. : .
The program was obened with
Mr. Mitchell playing Bach's dig
nified “Toccato in ¢ Major” and
Qcarlattl’s “Sonata in A Major”.
In his second group of cemposi
tions, the pianist rendered “Pre
ludes in C Minor, F and G Major”
by Chopin, and Schubert’s “Im
promptu in A Flat Mnor’ which
was executed with precision and
tonal beauty.
Miss Hecker's first number,
“Casta Diva” from Bellini's “Nor
ma”, exhibited a voice that has
range and freshness, and a con
trol of breathing that is unusual.
Three compositions by Tschaikow
sky—“Cradle Song,”, “Was I Not
a Blade on Dewy Ground” and
“No Murm'ring Beloved — com
posed the soprano’s seécond group.
The second solo in this group was
given with varied intonation and
emotional color.
Mr. Mitchell’s final group con
taineda “Maid 'in a Garden” by
Mompou, “Prelude in C Major” by
Prokofieff, and the familiar “Ca
price Viennois” by Kreisler, The
last two numbers were played
with a warmth of tone and tech
nical skill that presented the pi
anist at the height of his musici
anship.
In La Forges' “Come Unto These
Yellow Sands” which opened her
final group, Miss Hecker demon
strated a clear, brilliant tone, usu
ally in the upper octave, which
was a pleasure for the ear. She
then sang Stewart's “Love Song”
and “Gipsy Life” by Edwards.
The soprano was recalled, and as
an encore sang the _“Gavotte" from
Massenet’'s opera, ‘“Manon”. In
this number Miss Hecker employ
ed -rieh colorings in her voice, as
well as sustained lyricism and re

Book Hour
By MARTHA FULFORD
The existence of old strains of
Celtie, French, Germanic, Latin,
and even Greek speech, in the
modern English language was
brought out by Dr. John Wade
of the En, ish department at the
weekly University book hour. His
discussion was based on the gen
eral historical background of the
English language and the =subtle
influences which have left im
prints upon it.
“The language is . eternally
shifting, even vet,” he said, “and
as time goes on the fluctuations
of the dominating trend ‘take
place more and more rapidly. Pro
nunciations as< well as words
change, also. In America, the
trend now is to pronounce words
a 8 they are spelled.”
The Roman conquest, the Nor
man invasion, the Renascence, and
the varying nationalities of the
monarchs gave new elementg to
the tongues, Dr. Wade said, but
the contervatism of thp jchurch
always kept a strong Latin basis
He showed that differences in
plurals and peculiarities of poetic
speech are evidenceg of the vary
ing influences, which make sim
plicity in the language impossible.
The document, “Beowulf”, was
mentioned as an example of the
time of Germanic dominance.
“Late research had lead his
torians to believe, however,® he
said, “that most of the Indo-Euro
pean languages and people came
from a common center, centuries
before Christ. The dead langu
age, Sanserit, is supposed to be
the nearest link to that common
center.”
Ilitéracy in language, with the
exception of poor grammar, is
usually just old-fashioned langu
age, Dr. Wade explained, “which
has remained unchanged because
of less contaet with ecivilization.”
State Parks
By RUTH CUSTER
There ig not an area in Geor
gia that is not better than a sim
ilar area in Alabama or Florida
said Edward H. Sims, director of
state parks, in his talk to the
Landscape Architecture Soclety
Tuesday night.
Two milllonr dollars has been
spent on the development of state
parks in Georgia since 1933 Sims
stated. The number of parks ac
cording to Sims has been raised
from three to eight with an acre
age increase of around 14,000.
- “You can’t restore something
until you know your objective,
Simg sald, when speaking of the
difficulties they had encountered
in trying to restore the so-called
Spanish Missions at Darien. They
found after excavations he con
tinued that these missions were
lat one time sugar mills. lln
Bartram's ‘“T'ravels” he added a
reference is made to missiong lo
cated here. With proof and plans
lof the old missions Sims said they
Iwould attempt restoration..
“We spent two years research
!hefore restoring Liberty Hall”
| Simg stated “and as a result we
| could reproduce everything faith
;fu]ly. Restoration is worth noth
ing unless authentic.”
A wilderness condition cannot
be had in state parks as in na
tional parks because of the lack
of space, Sims concluded, but you
can have a place away from the
noise and bustle of cities where|
people may go for rest and re
pose,
Pay Athletes?
y :
By HELEN HANDWERK
College athletes should receive
a subsidy, was the subject of a
non decision debate given by
members of the Demosthenian So
clety at the Wednesday night
meeting.
Colvert Hawkins, speaking first
for the affirmative, declared that
college athletes bring in great
sums of money and that it is only
fair .that they should get some of
it.
“Georgia athletes in the past
brought in the money that built
‘Woodruff Hall and many other
buildings. This was,” said Haw
king, “done by hard work, and
the athletes that did this hard
work should receive a subsidy.”
“Athletes get herg worship,
trips, sweaters and mnay other
honors,” shouted Tap Bennett, first
speaker for the evening. “that
ought to count for something”.
Inter-Collegiatae football should
be a game not a profession, said
Bennett. The emphasis in a col
lege, he stressed, should be finan
cially and morally on good citi
zenship, - »
William €Cantrell, second speak-‘
er for the affirmative, said that
people only pay to see winning
teams.. Colleges should pay the
athlete for his part in bringing
in the gate receipts. All ath
letes, he added, need the subsidy
to keep them in school.
“Subsidies,” asserted Otis Cates
negative speaker, are deteriorating
college sports.” When you start
compensating football stars, he
said, they start working for a pay
check and not for the glory of the

Forty Percent Increase in Cultivated
Acreage in Five Years Is Shown Here
By G. A. CRABB, JR
There has been approximately
a 40 percent increase in cultivated
acreage in the state of Georgia
for the five year period, 1929-1934,
according to United States census
figures released through Harry L.
Brown, Georgia agricultural ex
tension director. The census fig
ures show that in spite of depres
sion, governmental crop contfol
and poor weather, there have been
more acres planted to more di
versified crops in 1934 than in
1929 . Diversification of crops
after having been preached by ag
ricultural leaders for years, has
at last come into its own. ¥
Among the feed ckops and ce
reals to advance in the last five
years, and the approximate per
centage of advancement are:
wheat 24 percent, threshed oats 33
percent, oats cut and fed un
threshed 20 percent, rye 77 per
cent, rice 19 percent, grain sor
ghums 161 percent, hay and sor
ghums for forage 159 percent

Impeachment Talk
Members of the legislature re
ported talk of impeachment follow
ing suggestions for a self-convenea
sedsion, since Talmadge has re
peatedly said:
“There ain’'t gonna be no extra
session,” ‘
State Senator Allen Chappell of
Americus, taking the lead in the
movement ‘for a general assembly
meeting despite ‘Talmadge, called
on Charles D. Redwine, senate
president, to call the extra-ordin
ary session,
Redwine is known as a Tal
madgeite. He has been mentioned
in some quarters as Talmadge’'s
choice for Georgia’s next governor.
Chappell charged the governor's
acts during his ‘‘dictatorship” in
dicate he is “mentally incapable”
of directing governmental affairs.
Formal Letter
A formal letter, demanding the
session, was sent to Redwine by
Chappel, after the latter had vre
ceived a telegram from the presi
ding officer advising he knew of
‘no provision in the constitution
or laws of the state for calling the
legislature into extraordinary ses
sion except by proclamation of the
governor.”
Chappell charged constitutional
violation to Talmadge for “his ef
fortg to forcibly take charge and
distribute the revenues of the state
of Georgia without an appropria
tions bill authorizing the same.”
The approximately $2,000,000 in
the treasury—guarded all last night
by national guardsmen in plain
clothes—came from the Fulton
National Bank in Atlanta and the
National City Bank at Rome.
Of this amount $1,850,000 were
highway funds and the remainder
about SIOO,OOO wwis on deposit at
Rome. The National City Bank is
now the only state depository un

Other banks in Atlanta follow

Chairman W. E. Wilburn of the

“we intend to spend $20,000,000 on

new bill gs unconstitutional.
The oold AAA system of cash
benefits for farmers who contract
ed to adjust crops was struck down
ag an unconstitutional program to
invade states’ rights and control
production,
In an effort to meet this objec
tion, th: new bill provides for no
contracts., “Conditional” payments
will be made to farmers if they
consgerve soil. Backers of the bill
say the aim is soil conservation;
and that if production eontrol re-.
sults it will be incidental
The taxes the old AAA levied on
processors to finance the program
were Kkilled as part of the illegal
plan. The new bill contains noc
taxes. They were left to go through
later in a separate bill, carefully
divorced from the farm measure
itself. b 4

NEUTRALITY IDEALS
~ OF U.S. CHANGED|
i. (Continuea rrom Page One) |
!“freedom to trade” with be]liger-;
| ents leads to disputes and entan- |
lglements inasmuch as no nationl
| recognizes the right of other na- |
‘tions, during war, to trade with
belligerents. She asserted that‘
tstudents of the history of neu-i
trality are becoming convinced |
| that neutrality necessarily in
volves some surrender of the right
to trade on the part of nations
seekihg to remain aloof from war. |
| Discussing the history of neu-}
! trality, Miss Hodgson pointed
out that “during the world war a
century ago, when Napoleon triedi
|to conquer Europeans states to
| bring them under French hege
]mnny, he forbade his continental |
| allies to trade with England.
| When at war, belligerent nations
| try to prevent any supplies or
}trade reaching the enemy. They
blockade, cut off trade and ships
with supplies. This is the doctrine
of the “closed sea.” Napoleon for
| bade American trade with Eng
[lund. England forbade trade with
{l“ra.nce. Thomas Jefferson, presi
'dent of the United States, forbade
American ships to clear or sail or
Ileave or trade with either nation
iand put an embargo on American
}tmde, leading to great controver
| sy and the slogan of ‘freedom of
| the seas” as the issue in the War
of 1219,
| Outlines Terms
{ Outlining the present neutrality
- legislation before congress, Miss
‘Hudgson said it has four terms:
. 1. Embargo on munitions and
iwm- materials, demands that Am
lericans shall not supply fighting
material for war to belligerents.
| 2. That American citizens shall
| not make loans to belligerents.
| 8. If American citizens persist
in trading with Dbelligerent na
tions or travel in foreign lands, or
on armed ships, they do so at
their own risk.
I “Traders must not demand Am-
“Traders must not demand. Am
erican lives to safeguard profits.
America is self-sustained and
centained and need not give any
help of any kind of trade or cred
its to warrmg natlons.
| “The present neutrality law
| merely continues the emergency
temporary law, passed in August,
awaiting a more clear, settled
definite policy. With our vast
| arms, power and resources, and
!munitions, we could easily be
first in war and conquest. It is
Ifar better to set an example of
| being first in peace, and maka
| some sacrifices of trade and mon
;oizn'y profits, and show the spirit
| of being willing to support collec
| tive security measures, and deny
|all aid to warring belligerents.
| Put peace above profits; take
| profit out of war.”
