Student Owned Student Controlled Dedicated To Student Interest vow 'Gator Urges Students l ? T1To "A. Attend Inauguration OF ia Ma.rOf President Miller y ,,: + On Friday, March 5 Vol. 39, No. 20 Varsity Party Issues Seven - Point Policy Program Includes Open Conventions And Better Student Government The campus' newest political group-the Varsity Party-after stating Tuesday that it had yet to develop any policy for organ- izing, yesterday issued a seven- point statement of policy. According to Al Schneider, par- ty chairman of publicity and poli- cy, the platform is as follows: 1. The Varsity Party is devoted to a program of upholding the traditions of the University of Florida and building a better campus-wide student government in the interests of all the stu- dents. 2. Party nominations? in open conventions of qualified and ca- pable candidates untainted by per- sonal aspirations. 3. Returning student-supported publications to the students. 4. An active Executive Council devoted to student government rather than student politics. 5. (a) A program of expansion of varsity athletic sports; (b) re- ductions in prices of date tickets for athletic events; (c) more ade- quate seating arrangements for students at football games. 6. Expansion of the social and cultural life on the University of Florida campus to meet the needs of a growing student body in a great state university. 7. Cooperation with the Univer- sity administration on legislative matters for the welfare of the students and growth of an ad- vancing university. Beta Alpha Psi Hears Lanham Department Heads . Outlines Needs Needs of the accounting depart- ment of the University were told to members ;of Beta Alpha Psi, national honorary accounting so- ciety, by Dr. James Lanham, head of the accounting depIrunent, at the meeting Tuesday in Florida Union. Dr. Lanham, in outlining the needs of the accounting depart- ment, divided necessary training requirements into four fields: pri- vate, public, governmental and managerial accounting. The cur- riculum must be enlarged to take in all these various aspects, he said. At the present time, train- ing in managerial accounting is almost non-existent. With the in- troduction of new courses and the revision of present courses offer- ed, there will be an improvement in the training offered at the Uni- versity. With the enlarged curriculum, there must necessarily be more adequate and better equipped classrooms and offices. Slide pro- jection equipment for each class- room is essential if the instructor and student are to get the best use of classroom time. More em- phasis on the overall uses of ac- counting must be included in the initial courses,, since most of the students taking the initial courses do not plan to take further ac- counting. "A less inclusive viewpoint," said Lanham, "would tend to leave them in ignorance of the many services accounting can per- form for business. One of the prime requirements of the univer- sity is a machine laboratory. All accountants must have a working knowledge of machine possibili- ties." Dr. Lanham stated that "these improvements are not expected to come all at once, but beginning next September with curriculum changes, it is expected that the University of Florida will in the future have an accounting depart- ment second to none in the United States." John R. Forrester, newly elect- ed president of Beta Alpha Psi, introduced Dr. Lanham. MALE DOMAIN IS INVA University Of Florida. Gainesvile.

Exact location, which has -ec determined to be on Stadium Road in back of Temporary Building, .E, will adequately meet the de-, mands of the students living on that end of the campus. This lo- cation has been set because of lack of an eating establishment on Ninth Street. Also, this Er- has the best position for parking facilities of students' cars. It will 'be a clean and attractive 1 meeting place dedicated to stu- ! dent use and enjoyment. It v.lil relieve much of the congestion at the Florida Union, thus marking one more major improvement in. the progress of the University. Rehabilitation Plan Adds Another Step Classroom Remodeling Starts In Language Hall .By Jack Shoemaker The recent rehabilitation pi . grarn, .which has been a ri. i..'.ng ' major proportions, added another step in the start of remodeling classrooms of the campus. Rooms 201 and 202 of Language Hall are the first to be started in t the complete refurnishing with soundproof ceilings, new fluores- t cent lights, 'new floors, and new t blackboards. As soon as these 1 rooms are finished, other rooms will be renovated until all cam- pus classrooms have been mod- I ernized. e Campus grounds management i has been sowing all bare areas with grass seed. It is the hope of Business Manager George F. e Baughman that all students t will refrain from stepping on t these plots in order that. the grass may grow. t Other improvements include planting of shrubbery around all temporary buildings and plant- ing of evergreens along drill field road. Baughman also stated that plans are being developed for in- stallation of an underground wat- ering system for the drill field. It is hoped that the whole cam- pus will be in top shape for the coming presidential inauguration; but it must be understood that the goal of the rehabilitation pro- gram is a University campus of which we can always be proud.

Carmichael of the Carnegie Foun- dation; Dr. Benjamin Fine of the New York Times; and many dis- tinguished college and university presidents. The bity of Gainesville, the Student Body, and Faculty will be hosts to these visitors. They will be entertained in the hotels, private homes, and fraternity houses. I am taking this opportunity to urge the Student Body to take an active part in the ceremonies and other activities. Arrangements have been made for every phase of student organized life to be represent- ed in the academic procession. The student body will be represented n the procession by student government organizations, social, honor- try and professional fraternities and societies. The heads of these or- ganizations have been informed about their part in the parade. Let me emphasize again the importance of student participation, not only in the procession, but in attendance at the Inauguration Ceremony in the stadium Thursday morning, 10:00 a. m., March 4. Let's make a good impression by being good hosts to the visitors that are to be in our midst. R. C.

Presbyterian Young People Give First Loyalty Banquet Westminster Fellowship f o r resbyterian Young People will old its first annual Loyalty ban- uet tonight at 6:3Q in First Pres- yterian Church. All Presbyter- .ns who have not affiliated with ie group are especially invited. D. R. (Billy) Matthews, direc- or of Alumni Affairs, will act as master of ceremonies. The pro- ram will be climaxed with a talk n loyalty by Dr. U. S. Gordon. A complete meal will be served or the small fee of 50 cents. tickets may be secured at the resbyterian Student House. Military Dept. Adds To Staff Four U. S. Army officers have been added to the instructic-al staff of the University of Florida Military Department, Col. E. M. Edmonson, head professor of Mili- tary Science and Tactics, has -an- nounced. The increase in personnel, ap- proved by the Board of Control, is in line with increased enrollment in the University's required R.O. T.C. program, The new assistant professors of military science and tactics in- clude: Capt. James W. Weathers, Jr., West Point; Capt. Lawrence P. Bischoff, Jr., West Point; Capt. Frank J. Gallagher, six years Army experience; and First Lt. Eubert H. Malone, Jr., Virginia Military Institute. By attending the inauguration of Dr. Miller in great numbers March 5, students of the :Univer- sity of Florida can best show their loyalty to their school. We want a full stadium at this event of national importance. A full stadium will plainly. demon- strate to the nation that we are solidly behind the school of pine and palm and will disavow, more trian anything .-lse. any recent ideas that meiurrs of tne U. of F. are disloyal, Weekends come and go but there probably will never again be a weekend such as this in the fu- ture of the University. In fact, this inauguration will be one of the largest ever held in the United States. It will be an event worth attending and one which will be remembered vividly when future old grads talk over their college days. The main point now, however, is that attendance is our chief means of demonstrating loyalty to the University of Florida. Glee Club Slates Concert Programs Throughout State Concert performances in Miami, Madison, Tllahassee, Bradenton, and Lakeland have been schedul- ed by the University of Florida Glee Club during the latter part of February and March, Director John W. DeBruyn announced this week. The "Ambassadors of Good Will" will sing concerts in Miami Feb. 27 and 28; Madison and Tal- lahassee March 13 and 14, and Bradenton and Lakeland March 20. Tentatively scheduled for March are engagements at the Veterans' Hotspital in Lake City, and the State Penitentiary at Raiford. A trip to Washington, D. C., sometime in April is also un- der consideration. In afAition to concert singing, Florida Glee Club members are now receiving instruction from Prof. DeBruyn in radio tech- niques. This marks tahe first time such instruction has been offered the University singers. Nationwide publicity has stem- med from Monday night's "protest rally" in which a group of Univer- sity of Florida students protested the Southern Governors Regional Council meeting to be held here on March 4 on the grounds that "the governors advocate an unjust and inequitable system of education in the South." Meanwhile, here on the camp- us, the student government, ad- ministration and the student pro- test group are all attempting to place their views before the stu- dent body in such a way as to be understood in primary ob- jectives. Last Friday, a university "pro- test group" sent out an open letter to individual students and organi- zations explaining the stand that the Southern Governors took at their conference at Waukulla Springs on February 7-9 by say- ing,: "The governors, meeting in clos- ed session, proposed, in contraven- tion of the spirit of the Constitu- tion, to found several regional col- leges and thus to segregate these students." The letter informed the students that the governors were planning to hold a regional education con- ference here March 4 and Gerald Gordon, who signed the memo- graphed sheet, added: "We believe that the students at this Univer- sity will resent bitterly any at- tempts to consummate such an ig- norant and prejudiced plan at an institution of higher learning ." The group stated it was their desire to formulate plans for unification and expression for resentment at a protest meeting. "We strongly urge all groups to be well represented at this meeting," it stated. And that night, most of Flor- ida's student groups were repre- sented, including leaders in stu- dent government, presidents of various organizations, and other interested students who attended the open session in order to pro- hibit any demonstration on the University campus because they felt it would be a discourteous act toward guests, and that the "no- torious consequences" would do the Vw.A....43 L. -A* campus, the protest group, and even the "cause" of the group more harm than good. The rally, led by Gordon, was attended by some 31 students rep- resenting groups favoring the pro- test group and some 200 students interested in upholding the Univer- sity of Florida's hospitality. After an hour and a half session, which included talks by leaders of both factions, the protest group adjourned t o another campus building and passed a resolution which reads in part: "That we, a group of students do protest the meeting of this group (governors) for the following reasons: (1) they ad- vocate an unjust and inequit- able system of education in the South; (2) they propose a plan which is uneconomical, and re- fuse to fac, the fact that con- sistent Supreme Court rulings require equal educational facili- ties WITHIN the state, and that we students heartily welcome and wish to cooperate with the inauguration of our new presl- Continued On Page THREN WANT TO TALK TO THEM Protest Leaders Want Audience With Southern Governors Here r UV 1 l Inauguration To Be Aired Across Nation Mutual Will Give "Salute To Florida" In Program Friday By Elgin White The eyes and ears of the nation will be directed to- wards the University of Flor- ida campus on the week-end of March 4-5 with the announce- ment that a nationwide radio hook-up will air the inaugmation program from Florida Field, where the entire student body will be assembled.

Mutual network. The nationwide hook-up will be entitled "Salute to Florida" and will feature three and a half minutes of the induc- tion ceremony and part of Dr. Miller's speech. For the first time in the his- tory of an inauguration ceremony, members of the student body will play an important part in the pro- ce.ssion. The president of the stu- denc oody, h s cabinet, and the executive council will lead the procession, garbed in the tradi- tional cap and gowns. University inauguration com- mittee officials have stressed the public character of the ceremony: and are issuing a "co mial" invita- tion to the general public to par- ticipate in the program.

Rec Hall Holds Bridge Tourneys By Roger Long It took the Phi Kappa Taus some time to figure out a pet nickname ofor their new house- mother, Mrs. R. E. Reyes, b u t they heard her sons call her 'Red' and Red it has been since. Mrs. Reyes has been coming to Florida for a number of years and came to live in Gainesville when twoof her sons enrolled at the University. It wasn't long after that she was approached as to whether she would consider serving the Phi Kappa Tau fra- ternity as its housemother. Ac- cepting, she has served as house- mother since last March. Being interested in young peo- ple for many years, she has de- voted her time to several groups of young people, including Boy and Girl Scout work. Soon dis- covering her talents, the frater- nity placed in her capable and willing hands purchasing of food for the house and planning of menus. She has been asked to as- sist in the fraternity's funct':ns, acting as a social front in repre- senting the men of her fraternity.

The Pi Beta Phi's won the novel "touch" gabne 14-0, which was played for the benefit of the World Student .r,. ice fund. Both teams had appointed offi. cial powder puff girls who carried powder puffs to the girls rather than water during time out.

Campus Opinions Letters To The Editor Letters to the Editor, in order to be published, must be limited to not more than 250 words and must be signed. No anonymous letters will be printed. "Pride" Must Be Progress :Editor, "How will we react" we the students of the University of Florida, to the appearance at the inauguration of Dr. Miller of the 15 gov- "ernors who stand as the deterrent force to the carrying out of the 'civil rights program? I, with many of my fellow students, have been waiting for the moment when we could make our appeal to the stu- dents of Florida, the citizens of the South, who believe in giving deserv- ing students, returned war veterans regardless of race or color, every possible advantage; who are more concerned with getting the most from the taxpayer's dollar than in creating a hysteria over' party allegiance or Southern pride. We feel that any attempt to set up separate schools either on a ktate or regional basis would result in a cut in appropriations for the University of Florida, that there would be continued friction due to "the attempt to by-pass the principle of the law that every state must furnish higher, education for the residents within that given state. The pride of the South must not be that of "white supremacy,"' but of progress, progress that can only be achieved by developing our human resource to the fullest through the sharing and sharing alike of our facilities, not by depleting our educational funds with the crea- tion of separate schools for the negro. Henry Armstrong Sorry That We're Human Dear Pen: Newspaper reporting, everyone realizes, is necessarily subject to the usual factor of human error, and the ALLIGATOR, I suppose, is as free from it as most. I feel justified, however, is writing my first "Letter to the Editor" concerning my part in the "protest meeting." I spoke not for the legal fraternity of which I am president (and not from Phi Alpha Delta, inasmuch as I am president of Phi Delta t'hi) but as ani individual student. The account left the inference that I spoke as president of my fraternity. I stated, not as it was attributed to me, that such a protest as was proposed would likely cause a counter-demonstration which would deteriorate into an expression of racial hatred-not into "racial segre- gation. Warren Goodwich Suggests Political Column Of Facts Gentlemen: How about doing a service to that great number 'of students and Faculty members who, like I, have the privilege of voting in the forth- coming primary election, but don't have the time to attend the poli- tical rallies, etc., to find out what Joe Doaks or-John Smith stands for. My suggestion would run something like this: Take a particular :candidate for nomination for each issue of the Alligator, starting as r, soon as possible, and continuing till the time of the primary. Devote several reporters and as much space as possible to the subject of this one particular candidate and try all of the pros, and cons down in in- telligible black and white. It wouldn't have to be and shouldn't be poli- ticking, but just above-board details. No dirt but facts. How about it, Aligator? Yours Very Truly, Hugh C. DuBose :Worry Over J-Day Stops Eating :Dear Sir: I have been a student at this great seat of learning for almost three .years. During all of this time, I have been at peace-going my own way, Bothering no one and being bothered by no one-and benefitting greatly ,from my mild and studious pursuits (at least, I hope I have!) . But NOW-NOW I find myself going quite "batty" and so going at an :alarming rate of speed-already my fingers are nubs, my friends are :beginning to call me "Baldy". I can't eat or study! So I am appealing to you before all is lost- Tell me, I beg of you in the name of the Sacred Alligator, WHAT 'AND WHEN IS "J-DAY"? This is the cry of a desperate man ... Take pity, I beseech you . Frantically, J. P. (Baldy) Dee The Mystery Car THE MYSTERIOUS SEDAN- * THE MYSTERIOUS SEDAN If You Know The Owner Please Contact Alligator Automobile Has Been Parked In Same Spot Since Last September By Jack Shoemaker Many inquiries have arisen as to the identity of the owner of the 1936 black Plymouth sedan, with a 1947 license, 11D-5223, which is parked between the Uni- versity Cafeteria and Sledd Dor- mitory. It has been there since Septem- ber, except for instances when the ditch-diggers have had to move it to get the right-of-way. The car is in an extremely dilapidated condition with three flat tires and a possible broken front axle.. The upholstery is badly cut up and tools and motorcycle equipment clutter up the back seat. The trunk is almost off, be- ing attached only by one hinge and there are several broken windows in the automobile. The motor seems to be in fairly good shape, except for a few torn wires, but any good me- chanic could do a decent re- modeling job on the car for a not-too-large expense. This reporter was asked to find the owner of the car. and tell him to move it. Well, I went to one of the campus policemen and ask- ed him if he knew anything about the car. He told me that he "thought it belonged to a stu- dent." Now, that gave me some- thing to work on, but' it didn't pan out, as I just couldn't afford to contact all the students. Then I thought about the tax collector down at the court house in Gainesville. Perhaps he could help me. Fortunately, he could and did. He told me that the car belonged to a P. Guy Crews, Jack- sonville, Fla. Next, I called up the registrar's office and asked for in- formation of this Mr. Crews. I was told that there was a Mr. Marvin Crews from Jacksonville registered here at the University. Maybe he could help me. After missing him a number of times, I finally got in contact, with him. Then he told me the story. The car belonged to his fa- ther who sold it to him. He in turn, because he couldn't afford the expense of keeping a car here at school, sold it to a Hun- garian student,, name unknown, who now owns the car. No one knows the whereabouts of this student, who probably has left the University-and no one knows just what he intends doing with the car. SORORITIES . University of Florida President J. Hillis Miller has asked Attor- ney General Tom Watson for a ruling on whether sororities may build privately financed houses on state owned land. Dr. Miller asked for the opin- ion in line with a proposal that a sorority row on the campus be in- corporated in future expansion plans. The Florida Alligator, Friday, Feb. 27, 1948 'I Prefer To Bo By The Title I Earned' "Now ladies and gentlemen," said the instructor in a class re- cently, "if you really want to you can call me Mister, Profes- sor or Doctor. But what I would really like to have you call me by Is the title I earned while in the Army. That's 'major.' Toward the middle of the per-- iod a young man raised his and to ask a question. "Mr. Blank he began. "Now just a minute, son, I'd actually prefer that you call me 'major," the instructor in- terrupted. The young man jumped to his feet and exploded, "Well, to - with you, major! I was a lieu- tenant colonel and I'll call you 'mister'." Sorority Rush Continued From Page ONE on the mantel. Doughnuts placed on swords and apple cider were served in the.dining room following a short skit. Kappa Deltas Sorority rushees were guests of the Kappa Deltas at the KD Hotel Monday night. Miss Jane Snow, presented ar- tists to perform for the hotel guests. On the billing were the Brumby sisters, who sang "In Stravanada." Other performers in- cluded, Liz Conant, who impress- ed the audience with her songs, "St. Louis Woman", and "Clar- ence." Miss Jane Mayers, will be remembered for her impersonation of 'Pearl Baily singing "Tired"- complete with "Mammy" make- up. During the entertainment the guests gave their "bar" orders to waitresses dressed in black bal- lerina skirts and white blouses, and were offered cigarettes (cour- tesy of Chesterfield Cigarette Co.) by Ann Brown, attired in the ap- propriate cigarette girl costume. Station BAKD at the KD Hotel went off tlie air with the group singing Kappa Delta songs. Unusual Recital By Murphree Claude Murphree, University organist, resuming his Sunday afternoon recitals for the second semester, announces an unusual program for Sunday at 4 p.m., featuring 12 short Chorale-Pre- ludes of Bach from the "Liturgi- cal Year," or "Little Organ Book". George Hack, baritone, will sing one verse of each chorale, be- fore the playing of Bach's ver- sion of the same. , Also to be played Sunday are "Festival ToccataW" by Diggle, dedicated to Murphree, "The Min- strel Boy," Irish air, and the Sec- ond Organ symphony by Louise Vierne, who for many years was organist at Notre Dame, Paris. All students and friends are in- vited to attend. Protest Group Continued From Page ONE dent; and that this protest, as stated above, is directed only to the governor's meeting in Gaines- ville.' The ALLIGATOR Wednesday took the stand that it was not try- ing to decide an age-old question of regional education or racial dif- ferences, but that a public demon- stration at this time would not be logical or beneficial to either fac- tion. Dr. Miller, president of the Uni- versity, in an AP story stated, "At this time, when the University has invited not only governors of the Southern states but hundreds of leading educators and represent- atives of colleges throughout the nation to the campus, I will con- sider any protest an extreme act of disloyalty to the University." A portion of the protest group appeared before the editor of the Alligator Wednesday an d stated that the governors are coming to JOIN THE PLEASURE AND SPORT Of HORSE BACK RIDING at ALACHUA RIDING STABLES ALSO HAY RIDES, MOONLIGHT RIDES and WEINER ROASTS WITH DANCING SPECIAL RATES TO STUDENTS - ALACHUA RIDING STABLES BETWEEN FARM COLONY AND AIR PORT CAR WASH 99c NEW and USED TIRES and TUBES Batteries and Accessories PHILLIPS' SINCLAIR SERVICE W.

Gwsbt *VK Am lir~a utuo TOIww Go The Florida Alligator, Friday, The Spot* By Bill Boyd FLORIDA'S BASKETBALL TEAM ONCE again re- ceived such a break that has made it one of the doormats of the Southern Conference when they drew the Kentucky Wildcats in their first .(maybe only) game of the tourney The Wildcats who have one more basketball game in the Southeastern loop than the law allows will be heavy fa- vorites to win once again the title. Ralph Beard, Alex Groza and Wah Wah Jones have made t.le boys from the Blue Grass State one of the top fives in the nation. Many people wonder why the Kentucky team is al- ways near the top in basketball. One of the big reasons is they have, very likely, the best informed coach in the game. Adolph Rupp has long been a-top flight coach and scout. That seems to be his strong point, being able to'spot talent in its infancy. He is a strong supporter of defensive basketball in this high scoring age. It is rumored that re- cently in one of their games Rupp came storming into the dressing room at half time and asked who was guarding number 14 of the opposing team. One fellow meekly ad- mitted that he was the man. Rupp gave him a real lecture on guarding. This number 14 had scored all of the oppos- ing team's points. The score stood Kentucky 40, opponents 3. THE RESIGNATION OF DEWELL RUSHING 'from the football squad leaves Coach Wolf in need of some good ends. True he will have Bill Turner, Tommy Bishop, . Joe Hawkins and Fal John- son, but the hole that Rush- e ing will leave will not be 1.- easy to plug. This big fellow made the all-Southern team in 1944 when he was a fresh- " man. After a stretch in the service he came back and - wabI playing a top brand of Rushing ball when he had his shoulder dislocated during the North Carolina game and was out for the rest of the season. When Florida's' scat backs start sweeping the ends this Fall you can bet your boots they will miss the terrific blocking that Rushing could give them. IT IS TIME NOW FOR FLORIDA SPORTS fans to begin planning to be here the week-end of March 26-27. These are the dates of the Florida Relays as well as the intra-squad football game which will climax the Spring football drills. These are two days that all good Univer- sity sports fans will not want to miss.

The Mortars and Hell Cat, clashed yesterday in a game whicl might well have determined th4 bracket winner.

Baptist Union, 12-i winner over the Gator Club in a slugfest which featured four-base wallops by Wheeler of Baptist and McCart of the Gator Club, was slated to encounter Presbyterian yesterday in its second outing. Tarpon Club spurted to the role of early favorite in the third grouping with a 6-2 win over CLO, aided by an assist from the losing team's moundsman. Carcia, on the slab for OLO, issued six untimiely free tickets to first, four of which culminated in Tarpon tallies. Saints Win Two potentially powerful dia- mond outfits rocketed to the fore in the fourth bracket by chalk- ing up a pair of wins each. The Saints ran wild in overpowering the Stings. 11-1, and Conch Club, 9-2. Their record was matched by Wesley, 8-1 victors over the Stings and recipients of a forfeit win from the Randuffs, last year's champs. Zimmerman, who handles Wes- ley's mound chores, turned in by far the most outstanding individ- ual performance of the tourna- ment to date against the Stings. The Wesley moundsman whiffed the first three batsman to face tim and sent a total of 13 enemy hitters back to- the bench after burning over a third strike in his five inning stint. In addition, Zim- merman collected a homer and a sngle in two trips to the plate, to lead his mates offensively.

SEC Meet By Mao McGrew Florida's basketball te a m closes out regular season play to- morrow night in a return clash with Georgia Tech here. Tech de- feated the Gators in Atlanta ear- lier in the season 65-42. The Gators, fresh from a77-59 win from the Jacksonville Navy team Wednesday night, will be out to avenge the early season' loss to Tech. Harry Hamilton, Ga- tor forward, and center Hans Taenzler" will probably lead the Florida scoring. These two men are leading the individual Gator scoring parade and led the scoring against Jax Navy. Hamilton hit for 27 points and Taenzler scored eleven goals for 22 points. Julian Miller, third ranking in- dividual scorer from a guard po- sition will be a thorn in the Yel- low Jacket defense and maintain a constant scoring threat. Bill Atkinson is back in top form and should give the Gator cause plen- ty of help. Nolan Stars Jim Nolan, six foot eight inch Tech center, will lead the invad- ers. Nolan scored 30 points against Kentucky Saturday night and at the same time held Alex Groza, Wildcat center, to two points. Nolan scored 17 points against the Gators in Atlanta. Another Jacket high scorer is freshman forward Colin Ander- son who racked in 16 points in the previous game against Florida. Melvin Dold,.a six foot two inch, guard will be the third main scor- ing threat in the Tech attack. He scored 13 points .in the previous Gator game. This will be the final game for the Gators before they journey to Louisville next week to enter the Southeastern Coneference Tour- nament where they open against Kentucky, undefeated league leaders. Two of the Kentucky wins were registered against Tech. I Season Record The Gators take a record of 15 wins and 8 losses into the Tech game with five victories and six losses incurred in league play. Conference wins include victories over L. S. U., Mississippi State, Auburn, and Georgia. One of the loop losses was to Tulane, second seeded team in the tournament. dLI'JUL U rill h b C TakC lCUi d rfl TEPs And Phi Taus Lead Blue League Volleyball Tourney Tau Epsilon Phi and Phi Kap. pa Tau loomed as the trong teams in their respective' brackets as Blue League volleyball finished the first week of play.

The orchestra, under the ca- pable direction of DeWitt Brown, is said by some to 'rank with the best of its kind in the country. In the past the group has trav- eled to many cities and has met with high acclaim in all. Among those cities are Jacksonville, Tal- lahassee, Valdosta, Ga., Lake City, Qcala, Mt. Dora and Leesburg. Trips planned for the coming se- mester include Palatka, Lake, City, Tallahassee, Leesburg and Mt. Dora. In addition to these out of town appearances, Brown says that at least two concerts will be given here on the campus sometime in the coming spring. During the past two months, the orchestra has had no definite meeting place in which to re- hearse. The majority of rehearsals have been in the form of indi- vidual and sectional practices at Brown's home. No academic credit is given for participation in the orchestra. At present it is simply a student or- ganizatioh. There are a number of capable musicians on the cam- pus who are taking no part in the orchestra or any of its activities simply because the school gives no credit for it. Having no school of music as yet on the campus, the orchestra has had to cater to people who play instruments as a hobby and not as a life's work. This situa- tion should be improved in March when Alva A. Beecher will arrive on the campus to start organiza- tion of a college of music here at the University. Academic credit probably will be given for partici- pation in musical organizations which are approved by the new school. According to Brown, the Uni- versity of Florida should, in the next few years, have one of the best schools of music in the na- tion. he'd had with bands before coming to the University, Lang told of his playing with a 16 piece V-5 Navy band at the University of South Carolina. "I played with this service group for 10 months," relates, Ed, "and during that time we played for fraternity dances, a Navy commissioning ball and many other social events." In addition toplaying for sev- eral dances at the campus recre- ation hall, and for fraternity dances, the band recently journ- eyed to Camp Blanding Officers' club where they played for a dance given by the Starke Lions Club. The band now has dates to play for Kappa Alpha Plantation Ball, Sigma Chi Sweetheart dance and Delta Tau Delta Raiinbow Ball within the near future. By Al Hutchinson There is at least one in every class-an eager beaver, that is. Some can be spotted right off, while others are more subtle about thbir "beaver" activities. jlager beavers can be placed in two general categories. The first category contains the obnoxious, self-satisfied, steamroller variety. You know the kind I mean, the giy who always asks the prof what the next day's assignment is and who pounds the prof with questions all through class? In addition to questions, this "beaver" has an inexhaustible supply of arguments pro and con about any question, plus experiences pertain- ing to the subject in question which he will relate at the drop of a pencil. In a large university there are certain schools and colleges which tend to attract eager beavers more than others. For the sake of illustration, there is a college at the University of Florida where a majority of the students enrolled can be seen carrying brief cases, wearing coats and ties to class, smoking pipes or cigars, wearing hats, and affecting a characteristic air of the most profound knowledge of just about any subject which one can mention, but their spec- I .JUST REM1EMBERED. PpM'.', THl~IS 1-5 LEokP J VEkZ / ISN'T IT! / laity is any subject of a legal nature. In their classes they have a most annoying habit, when they are displeased, of shuffling their feet. The second category contains the less annoying, but just as deadly beaver. The insidious, silent character who stays after class to chat with the professor about the course. The vernacular has another name for this, but we won't Inen- tion it. This guy laughs at the in- structor's jokes, offers him cigar- ettes, turns the spotlight on some poor devil who has not done the assignment by either laughing out loud at him or glaring and shaking his head and glancing to see if the prof is noticing him. This joker always tries to talk himself into a better grade when he finds out the results of a quiz or exam. Everyone who engaged in the re- cent world conflict remembers only too well the guy everybody liked, until he got his first stripe, and the stupid but likeable ensign or second lieutenant who, when he got his bars changed from gold to silver, suddenly became the para- gon of regulation and discipline? The troops had several choice and descriptive words for this too, which we wen't mention here. Half Fried Chicken Golden Brown $1.00 Fried Select Oysters Dozen 90c Afiaw e..en. ,. ....

Colleges Assembly Lines ? With 2,338,226 college students today in AmericE and an expected total of 3,000,000 by 1960, Dr. C. V Thomas, former president of Fenn College has attribute the growth in prospective enrollments not so much to th veteran influence but to a trend or social pattern, in which "college going" is becoming contagious. We feel also that Dr. Henry M. Wriston, president o Brown University, was correct in his statement, and pu it before you now to tie in the above trend in education: "Thousands of students now attend college not so mucl to gain an education as to obtain degrees, which will serv as 'passes' to desirable positions and advancement afte graduation. Such a condition is a menace to our democrat way of life. It threatens real education, since it tends t convert colleges into assembly lines for the production o degrees, instead of institutions where minds are enlarged and personalities developed." All For The Red Cross "Ugly Man Contest" carries many connotations but i is doubtful if anyone's feelings will be hurt because of thiE coming annual election by the student body. It's a joke. an to accomplish the joke it's a penny a vote with proceeds t( the Red Cross. Last year's contest raised $600 and this onE probably will realize much more. That's the light side of the Red Cross drive which begins Monday. It is up to each student and faculty mem- ber to contribute more than just the cost of a few votes for this most worthy project. Campus Opinions S Letters To The Editor Letters to the Editor, in order to be published, must be limited to not more than 250 words and must be signed. No anonymous letters will be printed. Won't Print This Letter Dear Mr. Gaines: Perhaps the Alligator would print this letter. Perhaps they wouldn't. My guess is that they wouldn't-dare. Mr. Gaines, you are a Big Man! A bigger man, perhaps, than you realize. You see, Mr. Gaines, you are not only the editor-in-chief of a newspaper, but editor-in-chief of THE newspaper-the ONLY official newspaper of the University of Florida. In other words, you have the power to say just what you wish through the Alligator without fear of contradiction. To take advantage of your power might be considered unethical by some. "Unethical" is hardly the word! Carried over a national scope, policies such as yours are deadly! It is on just such methods as yours that the propaganda agencies of a dictatorship are based. On the front page of the Tuesday edition of the Alligator you took full advantage of your power. You used the official voice of the student body to expound your own views on one of our campus politi- cal parties! Mr. Gaines, you won't answer this. You can't. You have no an- swer. Finally, this letter is in no way connected with any political or- ganization. It is the opinion of one student, a veteran who has only too recently come back from a Big Fight started by Big Men with Big Ideas. A Student EDITOR'S NOTE: The letter IS printed, although it has been the policy not to print an anonymous letter. We have yet to fail to print a letter, provided it was under 250 words, on time and could be cut to 250 words. But since this letter has already been published, we feel we can print it here. I .CAN answer you, but before I offer you the answer, I would like to ask a few questions. How in the world did you print all the thousands of copies and get them in so many places by yourself? I supose you lost a lot of sleep, more than I will lose. If you did hire leg men, please consider this as an application, since I could help you get the letter to me and still make some money to boost my veteran's pay, which isn't enough for me to print so many letters. Too I'm so glad that you made it clear, that there was no con- nection with any political party, for you. certainly hurt the third party this way. This paper, too, has been fighting against all types of odds for student's voice: in government, and not a group dictating the actions of the entire campus. That editorial was presented in a constructive way to keep out a dictatorship of a few men wno are out for personal gains, and to arouse more individual students to be more responsible for government. How could you say that this article was not meant for the good of each'individual? Ever since I took over the paper last summer, I have continuous- ly hit upon this same idea, and you have not said a word. Could it be the time element now? Last Summer I said on June 27 that "we will dare say that most of the fights between the parties have been more to get their men into office than their knowing what they are getting them into office for. We will not condemn anyone for wanting to get into office. But we would like to mention that the political groups on this campus work more to get CONTROL OF THE STUDENTS than to gain office and be leaders of the CONTROLLING students.. That is exactly what I said Wednesday, in another way, attempt- ing to stifle any dictatorship which you claim that I'm interested in. I did not expound my views about the third party, for their policies were not released. I did have a right, for the good of the campus, to let the student body know that we want a government by the stu- dents, like it is TODAY. We feel that this movement will come out attempting to get con- trol of publications by putting the ALLIGATOR back into politics. You see, the ALLIGATOR editorship is not now a political football, but this new movement would want it back before the students in that way. They will probably come out for better student government. Can you see how when they organized without any policy? I would like for you to point out any place in my article where it was not for the good of the student body. For the student government and student body, I want to ask.you to come to see me and answer the above questions. If you don't, then who is the one willing to meet half-way? Decries Lights Burning Dear Pen: Since we, the students, are asked to conserve electricity, why in thunder do the street lights in front of Science, Chemistry, and Agri- culture buildings burn night and day ? F. Clyde Stevens, Jr. Reader Says Alligator Story Is Of Monumental Importance Dear Pen, The ALLIGATOR brought out something that is of monumental importance to every non-fraternity student here a new political party composed of three-fourths of all fraternity men and a few token inde- pendent politicians. The first of two disastrous situations might be the death of stu- dent government. This would be brought about because at the present time this party has such a tremendous fraternity bloc vote that any opposition by the few remaining fraternities is mere farce. These could muster only 600 bloc votes compared to 1700 votes of the new party. A one party system which is just another way of saying that student government by the student is dead. The second situation will result when remaining fraternities join the new party after realizing the hopelessness of opposition. This will align them against the non-fraternity men, which would result in a complete control by the fraternities or a final awakening by the inde- pendent voters and complete control by them. The new party leaders seen to be counting on the continued lethargy of non-frat votes and the continued ignorance of the non-frat voter of the fact that the complete control of this university has been given to the students through their student government. Actually, the majority of students have had little chance of participating in the running of government. Student government posts have been held by so-called career politicians who desire these posts merely for the honor which they acquire. It seems that it is past time for the average student to realize that he must take a part in student government. If the average stu- dent doesn't want to take part then let school officials take over and at least appoint competent and deserving students who will fullfill the job requirements and not merely hold office for the honors. Sincerely, Vincent Faulk da try ng. es ff dis ~6~t~E~ I wish I could sit opposite y ," right now, stare you in the ey ic and talk. But there are many ill you, and one of me, and it's aft midnight. You know, when it's l1 the clack of a typewriter is a lor some sound. But I've written a lot late night. I'm ever grateful for t a, column inches this type has fill V. in the past year. Because of it I' d done a lot of thinking about G and other things. Sometimes e imagine I'm doing my bit to ma] h the world a better place. And wh, a column is half decent, I'm a )f ways a bit embarrassed over cor It pliments. So many people could a better job than I. I have some newspaper clipping h beside me. They're about Henr e Noel, the Harvard graduate wh r renounced his United States cit c zenship. He wants to be a citizen of the world. I also have a wonde: 0 ful sounding quotation from ol f Tom Paine, and from it all I wa d going to draw a fine moral for th: week's column. That was before I attended meeting tonight. But before I go any further: kc 'in mind this statement by t Florida professor. Reason, he sail s cannot je applied to ci.ler rac d or religion. The meeting held in Florid 0 Union was to determine what typ e of protest should be display against the meeting of Souther. Governors in Gainesville on Marc: 5-6. You've heard all the hark an cry raised over President Truman' r civil rights program. The Gover nors oppose parts of that program. And some of your classmate oppose the stand of the Governors This meeting was not held t' determine if there should be protest. It took place to deter mine WHAT protest to make. Tha was significant to me. Somebod: had already made up their mind It would be unfair to say tha someone else had influenced them Many of your campus leaders were there-mainly to try to avoid a demonstration, of course. I sa on the front row and shifted book around in my hands. Thi name of it was A Study of History written by an intellectual, Arnolc Toynbee. It's a complete history from the earliest civilization in Crete to Mussolini and his Ethio- plan rape. I grinned to myself when thought of how many such meet- ings the history in that book hac seen. I hope it doesn't sound trite tc say that these classmates of ours were sincere. They were. You know, there's something about an inspired man you admire. There is a danger, however. An atheist I know once said that your religion is what you value most. That makes my religion a little five-foot girl. Lott of people worship money. Some prefer ethics or convictions. And they all can be carried too far. The meeting was well attended. There was clapping and booing and some brief, well placed speaking. And while it was all going on, I wrote on a sheet of paper the \words "Civil Rights" and followed them with a question mark. And under that I placed the words "Evolution" and "Bloodshed." Evolution is a slow development. It took millions of years for the first bit of protoplasm to develop into a being with two legs. It took a long time for living flesh to have the audacity to try and change na- ture-try to change evolution. And I'm not so sure that the living flesh can successfully do it. But' when the change is tried, that's where the bloodshed comes in. You know that. I've preached for brotherhood of man in this column. I continue to do so. But I do not expect to ac- complish miracles. I keep in mind that only 21 true civilizations have existed in the past'6,000 years. At that rate, man can have 1,743 million civilizations before the earth becomes uninhabitable. With all those trys lying ahead, some- day man is bound to get the right combination. The good world shall be achieved. I hope to contribute my share. I'm not going to say the demon- stration agitators are wrong. No man can tell anyone that. We can only say that we disagree. We do not actually know what is true or false. But I can disagree, and that I do. You see, I tried to use reason. Perhaps I simply rationalized. But I hope you don't think I've pros- tituted this white space. I hope this column sounds like I mean it. Because I do.

Exchange Post As students all over the nation returned to their schools for a sec- ond semester of book-larnin' they found some new wrinkles in the old alma mater. Ohio State started a course for co-eds in billiards. About 90 wom- en signed up for the classes. The class meets twice weekly but the coeds show up frequently after class-to study. A new system of reporting grades to students has been insti- tuted at Vanderbilt. Instead of re- port cards being sent out each term, brown books, in which each terms grades are entered, have been put into use. These brown books are used by the students' advisers at registration in plan- ning their courses and upon grad- uation may be retained by the student as a complete record of work at Vanderbilt. At Michigan University, one of the local bookstores, overwhelmed by orders for a certain book, re- ports that so far no customer has mentioned the title.

If they won't be ignored, then pull out yore shooting' irons and shoot 'em down like dawgs! No doubt every one has heard about the student protest that is going to be held at the gover- nors' conference on March 4. I don't know if these guys are just plain ignorant or whether or not they are hard-up for some public- ity-any publicity, regardless of whom it hurts. What do they care whether or not Dr. Miller's inaug- uration is ruined? What do they care whether or not such a crude demonstration at the University of Florida will be smeared all over the pages of Life Magazine, not to mention every newspaper in the country? What dlo they care how much they degrade the stan- dards of the student body at this University? There's only one ans- wer. They don't give a continent- al! However, far be it from me to call anyone a commie. People have called me a commie. How can they do that? I've got six bucks of my very own money in the bank. And I own it complete- ly. It's mine. Besides, just be- cause these guys Walk around with a definite port list, doesn't mean they're commies, does it? r I'll be blunt. I don't like com- f mies.

Not that I am against the Com- munist Party. I just think we ought to shoot 'em all down like dawgs! The boys seem to have the idea that nothing can stop their demonstration. Wonder if there are any old unused Atomic bombs around somewhere? Personally, I think the gover- nors will take one look at that so called "demonstration" and say, "I thought Gainesville had ex- terminated all the rats in town." Evidentally they ran out of red poison. Now. For something else. I hear that there are some guys around campus that got teed off because they didn't get any big political plumb in the last party officer election. So, they form another party. This one's called "The Var- sity Party." I think it ought to be called the "Farceity Party." Looks like student interest and student government is taking a back seat to personal gain. If a guy isn't elccad chairmen of a party, or isn't nominated for a big office, he picks up his blocks and goes home to form another party. So forms the Varsity Party. When a parasite runs out of food, he looks for more suckers. I guess some people think the students will still be suckers. Looks to me like what is finally going to happen is the abolish- ment of student government and the creation of a Gestapo. Which means,. Gestapo this foolish- ness. I am unbiased. over. The student threw his weight into it and started off. By the time he had struggled through several crooked rows, a small crowd had gathered.

CHAPTER III The sun set slowly over the peaceful mesa. Into the gathering dusk Big Tex, astride his favorite pint-o, Schenley, galloped into the gathering dusk. Ta pocket, ta pocket. There was a sudden shout (named John). Tex stop- ped. "Call your shot, hombre," a hoarse voice commanded. Yanking out his greased M-1's, Tex put three bullets in the side ta pocket. In the growing still- ness Tex heard a gurgle of blood streaming into the sand. The sun set slowly over the peaceful mesa. Tex, a Sigma Delta Psi man from way back, went way back and vaulted into his saddle. Pull- ing his face from the alkali with a pair of forceps, Tex replaced the saddle on Schenley and rode on, j into the gathering dusk. Meanwhile, back in the Last I Belch Saloon, many things were happening. I The sun set slowly over the r peaceful mesa. The Leader, a horrible looking c citizen, was addressing the local c peasantry. "My friends," he said, as a hand grenade exploded under the platform, "now is the time to s get Big Tex and his gang of out- throats. The peace of the mesa p must not be disturbed." o One of the waitresses giggled. _ The crowd hung on to his every word. Their passions were whip- v ped to a frenzy by the Leader's c 14 frenzy-whippers. "Lynch 'em," t somebody yelled. The crowd, all n playing instruments, made a con- a certed dash for the Leader. Lack- A ing ropes they seized the bandit and his henchmen and hung them from the crotches of the local cot. tonwoods. The sun set slowly over the peaceful mesa. Big Tex galloped onward, ever onward. Schenley galloped beside him. Suddenly a blanketed, be- robed, bug-bitten, half-breed slunk out of the ditch. "Ugh," he said. Tex stopped. Schenley stopped, The saddle stopped. Everything stopped. "Where you go?" the half-breed asked. "What's it to ya, Mac?" Tex snarled. "My name not Mac. Me Jake. in-a-cow's-barn. Me Indian." Tex felt anger mounting. it tossed a saddle on Schenley and rode away. The Indian menacing. ly drew a baseball bat from his ta pocket. He was a Cleveland Indian. With a lunge, manufac. tured by the J. P. Lunge Co., the half-breed bashed Tex's head into the dirt. Tex lost his temper. He seemed to rise from the ground with a mighty uppercut that lift. ed Jake-in-a-cow's-barn into the air where his head became caught in the crotch of an old oak tree. Tex plodded on after Schenley. Meanwhile, in Uncle Tom's Cabin, Ida Juanna, Tia Juanna, Dooey Juanna, Damdifa Juanna, Two Slip Louise, and a blonde(?) were playing a hot game of drop the sorority pin. They were antici- pating Tex's arrival. Suddenly out of the gathering dusk, an immense dark cloud swooped over the little cabin. It began to rain. The rain changed to Hale. The Hale became Con- stans. Suddenly a big drip came into the cabin. It was Tex. The wind blew. The rain rained. The hail hailed (the gang's all here). Unexpectedly it began to storm. With a mighty blast, the cabin twisted and turned up into the air. Into the maelstrom, the occupants tossed hither, thither, and yon, and besides that they flew in all hlrections. In a moment all was still. From the confines of the sur- rounding forest came shrieks, groans, moansg, gasps, yells, bel- ers, roars, screeches, squeals and whines as each of Uncle Tom's Cabin crew landed in the crotch of a tree. Ida Juanna, Tia Juanna, Deoey Juanna, Damdifa Juanna, Two Slip Louise, a blonde(?), Tex and Uncle Tom were out on a limb. Donna Juanna hung limply from her crotch a few miles down the road. The crooks hung limply from cottonwoods in the sleepy town of San Juanito. Jake in a cow's -barn swayed gently with the breeze. "Ugh," he aid. The sun set slowly over the peaceful mesa. Schenley galiored n. What will happen next? Who till rescue who ? ? How will the citizens of San Juanito, a sleepy own, escape from their predica- nent? The next episode will maze you. This one amazed us. Amazing, isn't it? ? ? ? II LC. ~ "I'm Western Electric. I back up your Bell Telephone Service with equipment and supplies." off r~ I |
