COUNCIL WRITES LETTER TO ALUMNI

Asked To Encourage New Students Attend College

The Student Council has addressed the following letter to its alumni. Every alumnus will receive a copy of the current issue of the George- Anne in which they are asked to give any aid possible in rebuilding their Alma Mater to its former standing.

The letter follows: Collegeboro, Ga., December 7, 1942.

Dear Alumni: We have been assured by the

Southern Association that our accredited rating will be restored when Governor-Elect Arnall carries out his proposed plan for removing the Uni- versity System for all time from the threat of political interference.

You have probably heard rumors that the school might be closed due to the statement by the state auditor about the cost of maintaining this school. This statement did not mean that the school would be closed. It means that if the enrollment is not build up the overhead costs will have to be reduced.

Since the meeting of the Southern Association things look much bright- er for G.T.C.

The students are doing all in their power to build up the enrollment for next quarter. The greatest help in securing a larger number of students must come from you. You can be of great help in urging students to come to this school and by contacting in- fluential people who might aid our school.

Those of you who are teachers know how much G.T.C. means to the educational system of the state. It has not only won state recognition but national recognition as well. Our school has made great progress in the educational field and we must aid in making further progress.

It will be a hard fight to build the school back to the great school that it has been and it will take time. It can be done and it must be done.

Again, we would like to say that the greatest help that can be given to the school is the whole-hearted co- operation of the almuni. We know that you can be instrumental in rebuilding our school and we do: not believe that you will disappoint us.

Sincerely, G.T.C. STUDENT COUNCIL.

All-Sorority Dance Is Saturday, Dec. 12

"White Christmas" Is Theme Chosen for Occasion A theme much in keeping with the

season is to be carried out when the Pan-Hellenic "White Christmas" dance gets under way this Saturday night, December 12, at the States- boro Woman's Club.

All members of the four sororities on the campus have joined to have this one dance instead of each having an individual dance.

Hot licks and soothing songs will be furnished by one of the local or- chestras. Intermission will be held in the lobby of Sanford Hall.

Pan-Hellenic council, made up of the presidents and vice-presidents of «ach sorority, will present the dance as its fall formal, and lucky will be the lads who rate invitations.

The members of the council are: Delta Lambda Delta, Pruella Cromar- tie and Kathryn Ellison;. Dux Dpmi- na, Mary Thomas Perry and Leil^t- Wyatt; Epicurean, Sue Breen and Esther Lee Barnes; Lambda Theta Chi, Uhlma Wynn Zittrouer and Emily Cromley; Sigma Gamma,

College Farm Has "Victory" Cows

Mary, Whitie and Molly—over at the dairy barn-;—have been branded with Victory emblems for their increased production in the war effort.

These three Victory winners are part of the herd of twelve milking cows in the Teachers College barn. All three cows were raised on the college campus and during the past weeks stepped up their milk production to five gallons apiece a day.

The twelve cows now being milked each day at the barn are producing over 40 gallons of milk.

REFUGEE PRIEST SPEAKS AT CHAPEL

Relates Story of Escape From Nazis Picturing deplorable conditions in

his native land of Belgium, the Rev. Victor Dossogne, who escaped from Nazis and is now a professor in this country, made an address to the students of Teachers College here just before «the students adjourned for Thanksgiving holidays.

Before speaking here, he addressed the Statesboro Rotary Club and spoke at the Statesboro High School.

Rev. Dossogne, who is now a professor at Loyola University in New Orleans, is a former professor at the University of Namur in Belgium. He gave a graphic picture and descriptive outline of the Axis strategy in the invasion of Belgium and of the horrors and destruction that accompanied the sudden and without warning invasion. The invasion, according to the speaker, was completed in eigh- teen days, when only two days before the invasion the Belgian government had been given assurance that Hit- ler had no intention of invading. He related an account of his escape and told of the purposeful killing of women and children in his country by the Germans.

Rev. Dossogne stated that he did not criticize the United States for not being acquainted with the horrors of war. Rather he said he was glad of the good fortune and good health of America. The professor declared that when Hitler heard that the United States decided to enter the war, he (Hitler) saw the handwrit- ing on the wall. Despite the fact, he pointed out, that the Germans are well educated, and educated f«r death, he had faith in the fighting spirit of the boys of the United States and believed this nation would lead his invaded country and other nations to victory.-

Neil, the Laboratory High School Girls' Glee Club, directed by Miss Pruella Cromartie, piano students of Mrs. Barnes and voice students of Mr. Neil in the music division, will combine talents to present a Christmas program in the college auditorium on Thursday evening, December 10, at 8:15. „

The College Chorus will sing one a'cappella number and in two of the accompanied compositions the men's voices will be featured. The girls' high school group has been working with Miss Cromartie this fall and they will sing one number. Miss Uhlma Wynn Zittrouer is accom- panist for both groups.

The music includes "Hark, the Angels Sing," "Silent Night," "The First Noel," "It Came Upon a Mid- night Clear," "Nazareth," "O, Little Town of Bethlehem," and "Come All Ye Faithful." Incidental solos in ensemble will be sung by William Smith, Marjorie Parkerson, Richard Starr and the college Girls' Trio, which has as members Pruella Cro- martie, Marjorie Parkerson and Vel- ma Rocker. Lighted tapers in white candelabra will provide the illumina- tion for the singers in the white and blue robes during this final number.

The personnel of the College Chorus is as follows: Lillian Waters, Esther Lee Barnes, Sue Breen, Nell New- ton, Pruella Cromartie and Wynelle Nesmith, sopranos; Velma Rocker, Dorothy Remington, Marjorie Park- erson and Mrs. Neil, altos; Jack Averitt and William Smith, tenors; Wayne Culbreth, William Houston, Donald McDougald, Bruce Carruth, Marvin Prosser and Richard Starr, basses.

Ten Campus Beauties Selected By Students

Six of These To Adorn "Beauty Section" Of Annual

Ten girls were chosen as candi- dates for the beauty section of the Reflector, Georgia Teachers College annual, from seventeen who were nominated and voted on by the en- tire student body at a meeting held here last week. From these ten, six will be chosen, to adorn the "beauty section" of the 1943 annual.

The ten most beautiful girls named by the student vote from the seventeen girls- nominated by the students are announced' by Reflector officials as follows: Esther Lee Barnes, Ab- bie Mann, Wynell Nesmith, Dot Rem- ington, Catherine Rowse, Betty Jo Rocker, Margaret Strickland, Nancy Wardlpw, Leila Wyatt and Uhlma Wynn Zittrouer.

These ten girls will submit photo- graphs which are to be sent to some

nationanlly known person or group who will select the six to appear in the "beauty section" of the Reflec- tor. Last year McClelland Barclay, nationally known artist, chose the g'irls to appear in this section, and the year preceding a group of An- napolis cadets gave their opinion about Teachers College beauty.

Included in the ten named beauties are three girls who appeared in the "beauty contest" of last year's annual These are Dot Remington, Abbie Mann and Leila Wyatt.

Oftier girls nominated by the students at the election were: Sophie Oliver, Mary Thomas Perry, Venice Clifton, Martha Wilma Simmons, Kathryn Ellison, Virginia Lovett and Mary Alice Peebles.

YWA Conduct Study Group

Session To Continue From Wednesday Through Friday Two outstanding Georgia women

will conduct religious study courses here this week as guests of the Y.W.A. They will arrive here Wednes- day, December 9, and continue their lectures and courses through Friday, December 11.

The women are Mrs. Peter Kittles, Sylvania, who is the Georgia W.M.U. president, and Miss Frances King Turner, Atlanta, the Georgia State Young People's leader. These dis- tinguished guests will arrive Wednes- day evening at 7:30 and will stay in East Hall during their visit here. The program has been arranged as follows:

This will be the highlight of the year for Y.W.A. The council will meet on Wednesday evening in the apartment of their sponsor, Miss Eva Hayes, where they will have opportunity for a brief, social hour with the guests.

At nine o'clock Wednesday evening the first class of a study course will be taught by the visitors in the parlor of East Hall. Two more classes will be held on Thursday from 5 to 6 and from 8 to 9.

On Friday afternoon the W.M.U. of the First Baptist church will entertain the guests and the Y.W.A. with a tea.

The Y.W.A. extends a cordial in- vitation to any faculty member or girls to attend these lectures. They will be very inspiring and helpful. Mrs. Kittles and Miss Turner are very interested in young people and they will bo happy to talk with any student while they are here.

At a recent meeting of the Y.W.A., the following officers for the current year were elected: Jeanette Sears, president; Willie Mayers, vice-president; Margaret Bunh, secretary; Ma- zie Reynolds, treasurer; Emalyn Gor- don, publicity chairman; Jeanette Browning, personal service, and Juanita Wyatt, pianist.

The Southern Association of Col- leges and Secondary Schools, accrediting- agency, at its annual meeting in Memphis last week promised early re-instatement of Georgia colleges, pending enactment of a legislative program, promised by Gover- nor-Elect ElKs Arnall, removing politics from the state school system.

Georgia Teachers College was dropped from the roll of accredited colleges last year when Dr. Marvin S. Pittman, president of the college at that time was, fired along with members of the faculty, by a newly appointed Board of Regents of GoVr- ernor Eugene Talmadge. All other units of the University System of Georgia on the accredited list were dropped and the association charged political interference on the part of the Governor.

The executive committee of the association was given the power at the Memphis meeting to restore the schools immediately upon recommen- dation of a special committee. The association ordinarily takes final action in such cases only at its annual meeting.

Since Teachers College was dropped by the association the enrollment has dropped over sixty per cent.

Governor-Elect. Arnall visited the association earlier last week to make a personal plea for re-instatement of the schools continge»t on enaction of a legislative program removing opportunities from political domina- tion^

Dean Zach Henderson, of Teachers College, attended the meeting of the Southern Association along with Chancellor S. V. Sanford of the University System, President M. L. Brittain of Georgia Tech and others.

WE NEED LYCEUMS Programs on last year's lyceum list includ-

ing piano recitals by the Georgia artist, Hugh Hodgeson, presentation of Shakespeare's "A Midsummer Night's Dream," and the Graf Bal- let, music by the Michigan Little Symphony, and reaching several years back, a lecture by the famous Will -Baa-ant, and all the other college presented attractions proved Very popular with students and townspeople who attended.

This quarter we have not had any of these visiting artist programs, and at present writing none have been scheduled for future dates.

These programs are a very desirable extra- curricular program and should be begun again at an early date, and popularized off the campus as well as among the students. This is- one of the services of public education that the college owes to its students and community alike.

The students want lyceums. The college should have them. FLOWERS UNPATRIOTIC; SEND "WAR STAMP CORSAGES"

Carnations, Sweeheart roses, iris, orchids and any other types of inflorescence accepted as various types of corsages sent by campus Lochinvars to* adorn the evening dresses of their dates, and be crushed and wilted within the span of a few hours are beautiful but unpatriotic gestures of affection in these "all-out" days of the war.

As a suggestion warranting serious consid- eration, war stamps could be sent to dates at- tending dances instead of flowers. The price of corsages range from a dollar up to five and more for orchids. Each club, fraternity or school social having a dance or banquet ordinarily demanding corsages, could vote that a minimum of one dollar in war stamps be sent to each date instead of the orthodox corsage. Sororities could ask for stampls instead of flowers.

Various ways can be worked out for attach- ing the "War Stamp Corsages" to evening dresses, or presenting them to dates at the dance. In this way, in large clubs, the eqiva- lent of several war bonds will be purchased at each dance.

While flowers prove to be only wilting "scrap book" reminiscences of a few hours of merriment, "War Stamp Corsages" will prove to be reminders that you purchased a share in freedom that permitted you to carry on your merry-making, unhampered by fear of the Gestapo blindfolding you before a firing squad for laughing.

GEORGE-ANNE PLAFORM 1. Encourage purchase of War Bonds and

Stamps. 2. Urge student participation in all extra-

curricular activities. 3. Promote closer relationship between

students and faculty for a better school spirit. 4. Strive for increased enrollment.

THE LISTENING POST" FREAK TREE GROWTH ON THE WnTENBURS COLLEGE CAMPUS.

Re-Accrediting After being suspended from the roll of accredited colleges

since September, 1941, Georgia Teachers College and other state universities are to be placed, back on the list by the Southern Accrediting Association in the near future, if the legislature enacts bills that Governor-Elect Ellis Arnall presented before the association last week.

This news has indeed been received by students, alumni and friends of education as a welcome Christmas greeting, and none have any doubt but that the governor they elected to do the job will, as he promised, as his first official duty procure legislative enactment necessary for complete re-instatement, corrective of the measures taken by the association on September 17, 1941.

We think there can be no doubt as to the reaction of the legislature when it convenes in January. The students and people of Georgia have already shown that they will not have their ed- ducational system tampered with.

Students of the University System can take a "lion's share" of the credit for themselves if they like;. The advent of the Stu- dent Political League to combat the existing political evil of the state was most instrumental in defeating complete ruination of the state's schools. The league was practically unanimous in its membership roll of college students. But alumni and friends in the campaign for better government in Georgia, played a major roli In swinging the vote toward democratic, unbiased leadership in the educational system.

With the selecting of a committee, given power to restore Georgia's University System, a thing never before done by the Accrediting Association, and the emphatic promise of the gover- nor-elect, we may be assured that the system will be restored to full accredited rating early next year.

Through The Keyhole Unlike most college students, Paul

Bunce and Sybil Underwood don't go to the show to see the pictures. Need I say more?

We thought for awhile Pennington would give up because of so much dompetition, but he came through beautifully. Everything is just "ducky" now, isn't it, Margaret?

Jim Roberts just can't seem to make up his mind between Adel or the assistant dietitian. Seems as if maybe Ruth has the inside track right now.

Billy Hayes has definitely decided that he likes red hair (provided it's on Dot Fulcher).

Shorty Glisson is really getting in the Groov-er these days. Robert has fallen hard, too.

W« hear that Pearman is wondering just where he stands with' "Tag." Don't worry, Harold; you aren't the first to wonder about it.

Ray Lanier has emerged from his bachelorhood long enough to give Jean Powell, the belle of Claxton, a slight rush. Wonder where Freida comes in on that set-up?

Evidently Hubert Wells has for- gotten the girl he left behind, 'cause he's beginning to get around these days.

The duet of Scott & Rowse has definite possibilities. We are all anx- iously awaiting further developments, so get to work, "Keeds."

Seems like Roy Bedenfield has at last decided that he- will be doing well to let T.C. girls alone.

The George-Anne's mystery of the week: Why hasn't someone staked out a permanent claim on Jean Hen- drix? Maybe there's competition from around Brooklet.

Wonder why Drake and Mary T. have to have such privacy when they study????

Isn't it just wonderful how Abbie has managed to hang onto "Red" for so long.

Nancy has broken all previous rec- ords by going with Tiny for a whole month. Watch out, Ramsey; it's about time for you to get ditched.

Did you ever see Pete Parrish and the "Glamour Gal" of Lewis Hall, look into each other's 'eyes and smile? If not, you've missed half your life, 'cause Marjorie P. can really put ex- pression into it.

Hartley, why don't you give Jane a break? You know the gal's crazy about you.

Percy Harvey is wondering if it will be all right to give a certain girl a diamond for Christmas. Don't be surprised if he does or doesn't, Maisie.

My, how these Ashburn boys do get around! Chesire and Pruella swapping bids to their dances—I'll never be -surprised at anything again.

A Year Ago Today A year ago today, on Sunday, December ly

the Japanese Navy, masked by their diplomatic move for peace in Washington, made that sneak attack on the United States which resulted in the American battle cry, "Remember Pearl Harbor!" And the Americans, always slow to anger, turned to seek revenge against im- posters intent on destroying the freedom won by the pioneer, freedom-loving aboriginees of this country.

The day after that fateful day for the "Rising Sun" Empire, December 7, the Ameri- . can Congress, on December 8, when asked by the President of the United States, amazed doubters and disbelievers in Democracy with the speed and efficiency with which they declared within a! few minutes that a state of war existed and that this nation would stop with nothing but complete victory.

Since then the battle cry for freedom has been heard in jungle, desert, ocean and air. Since that day the Americans have limited themselves to rationed amounts of essential foods, materials and fuel and women have taken men's jobs to off set,a shortage, of labor. Production has surpassed any thought of peak and we're supplying our allies as well as keeping the best equipped fighting forces in the world ourselves. The youth of this country has been conscripted and have proved better fighters in shorter time than any of the Axis "death boys."

Today, on the first anniversary of America in this world conflict, we are jubilant at the strides we have taken, while the Axis powers mourn and "Remember Pearl Habor" as the day they comitted Hari Kari. ,

Save Vital Materials A few weeks ago the students were asked

to do their part in conserving all vital materials being used on this campus. It seems that as we are not in active service it would not be asking too much of any student here for him to think about these little things.

One of the major problems facing the civil- ian population today is the probability of a fuel shortage. As the school administrators have pointed out, even though we have a good supply of coal on hand, this is no reason why we shouldn't be conservative with it. There are many small things that each of us can do that will aid immeasurably in meeting this problem. For instance, if you are going to be out of your room for any length of time, turn the radiator off. It won't do you any good while you aren't there, and what you save might do somebody a lot of good. Don't have your radiator on all the way and your window wide open. Nobody has yet succeeded in artificially heating up the out-of-doors. When the room gets too warm simply turn the heat off—don't just open the window. When the weather is cold wear as warm clothing as possible so as to reduce to a minimum the amount of heat needed.

Electricity is another commodity essential to the war effort. All of us are guilty of gross neglect where the conservation of it is concerned. We must begin to remember to turn out all lights when we leave the room, and while in the room don't use unnecessary lights. Countless electricity is wasted every night by radios going long after their owners have gone to sleep.

Such unthoughtfulness can have no place in the all-out efforts of a country fighting for its very existence. Even though perhaps you can't realize that these little, things can help, if. Uncle Sam asks for it, then who are we to say that it won't help? It will, students, so let's co-operate all the way.

Know Our Advertisers •How much do you appreciate the business-

men of Statesboro helping out this school? Every time you see an advertisement in

your school paper or in the year book, this means that the owner of that firm is interested enough in you and your school to co-operate with us in our school activities.

In Statesboro, however, there are numerous business men who are getting a large per- centage of their trade from college students, yet these same men, when approached by rep- resentatives of the George-Anne and Reflector, refuse to buy even a small advertisement space! Why should we continue to patronize these firms?

There are some who have ads in the George-Anne but who do not see fit to place an ad in the Reflector. We are not criticizing these, but are expressing our appreciation to them for their aid. It is those who refuse to help either of our local publications whom we wish to boycott.

Students, the next time you start on a shopping trip, look over the George-Anne or ask the business manager of the Reflector what merchants are interested in the school, then you'll be doing Teachers, College \ big favor.

EDITOR'S NOTE The column, "In The Service,"

which has been appearing here, will be discontinued until after Christmas.

Early in the winter quarter the Bachelors will present a Service Flag to the college, and the service roll will be printed at that time.

With The Student Council

By DOT GARNER Dear Faculty:

Since a few of the faculty of Georgia Teachers College seem to enjoy criticizing some of the organiza- tions and students on the campus—we take this opportunity to retaliate— and praise—

Why is a certain teacher so very concerned over Dean's List students sitting in the back of the auditorium during chapel? And if this person has any criticisms to make of the Student Council, wouldn't it be a lot better if she made them to the council instead of to her classes?

If the house director with the ever-ready flashlight would look after her own dormitory and leave the rest of the campus alone everyone would get along better. She must be com- saended for her brilliant brainstorm about the West Hall green parlor rug being cut. She- conceived the idea when one of the Masquer's members asked, to borrow some green thread from her during the production of "Lost Horizon."

Shouldn't one member of the college faculty devote himself to building Georgia Teachers College to its former standing rather than trying so diligently to further tear it down.

And let's toss a few orchids to Dean Henderson and Mamie Jo Jones for being the students' best friends. Flowers can be thrown, with a few exceptions, to most of the faculty.

A certain teacher who lives in Lewis Hall seems to be always com- plaining about. L.H. girls making a lot of noise. Wasn't she ever a girl ?

We wonder is some of the faculty are quaking in their boots as the end of Governor Talmadge's regime draws near? Some should be!

Awards for being the most friend- ly instructors on the campus go to Miss Goss, Dr. Carruth and Mr. Moye.

Our beloved Aunt Sophie is still the "sweetheart of the campus."

"Education must support democracy, and at the same time democracy must continue to maintain education. Our first task is to win the war, but the maintenance of educational fa- cilities, while secondary is victory, is secondary to nothing else."

Sororities Pledge\ New Members SIGMA GAMMA

The Sigma Gamma sorority met Wednesday night, December 2. At this time the new pledges were wel- comed by the president, Venice Clif- ton. ' The vice-president, Margaret Strickland, read the constitution.

The new pledges are Sophie Oliver, Virginia Lovett, Jean Hendrix and Nell Newton, ■ The. sorority, sponsor for this year is Miss Malvina Trus- sell.

The group plans to do Red Cross sewing at the sewing center in town once a week.

EPICUREAN The Epicurean sorority pledged the

following girls for the coming year: Jane Bateman, Beverly Edwards, Frances Groover, Hattie Swann and Nancy Wardlow.

The pledges entertained the members with a feast Saturday night, November 21. Pledges were given bracelets with "Eppie" inscribed on them.

LAMBDA THETA CHI The L.T.C. sorority is proud to an-

nounce as its new pledges for the fall quarter the following girls: Maizie Reynolds, Virginia Gilder and Helen Thigpen. They are happy to have Miss Bertha Freeman as faculty sponsor.

The sorority held its regular meeting last Thursday night. Plans are being made for a social this quarter. Delicious refreshments were served by the pledges. The L.T.C.'s are looking forward to a successful year.

DUX DOMINA Back at school after the Thanks-

giving holidays, the Dux tell of their entertaining week end.

Mary T. left for Dover, Georgia, on Wednesday, where she spent the remaining part of the week—quite exciting with Drake dropping in at regular intervals. I hear she also had a little cooking experience which will come in handy in the future years.

Wynelle celebrated in the big city of Statesboro. I think most of her time was spent with "Kim."

Catherine, also, was in Statesboro with her family. The carnival was her main pastime—hear she had fun.

Ruth had a very pleasant time in Brooklet with the Bryan family. She and Fars took off Friday night to Savannah, where they joined friends and celebrated by taking in the town.

Leila went to Cedartown, of course. It was quite different from last Thanksgiving with Hue, but, instead she spent Thanksgiving day with her family at the home of her famous brother, Whitlow. She was also in Atlanta for a few days.

X CLUB It is our pleasure to announce that

the following girls were pledged to the X Club at our regular meeting Friday night in the lobby of Lewis Hall: Dot Remington, Mrs. Robert Eason, Fay Jones, Margaret Strick- land, Dorothy Twilley and Louise Glisson.

Plans were completed for a Christ- mas party to be held this Friday night.

Bachelors To Present Service Flag To College

A service flag representing hun- dreds of T.C. graduates, will be presented to the college at a special chapel program sometime during the winter quarter by the Bachelor's Club. We are primarily concerned with building Georgia Teachers Col- lege back to its former standing among colleges in the south, and feel that any contribution we make will be of some help. We wish to encourage students now enrolled to return next quarter and aid us in boosting our school.

The Bachelors plan to present a humorous chapel program before the end of this quarter, probably a paro- dy on "Lost Horizon," which was presented by the Masquers several weeks ago.

We would also like to take this opportunity to express our appreciation for the splendid response rendered our cabaret party by the students and faculty—and to wish for everyone a Merry Christmas and the Hap- piest of New Years.

ALL-SORORITY, from page 1 Venice Clifton and Margaret Strick- land.

Officers of the year are: Presi- dent, Mary Thomas Perry; vice-president, Uhlma Wynn Zittrouer; secretary, Sue Breen;. treasurer, Kathryn Ellison; social chairman, Leila Wyatt.

Wttatyim&iufWaU WAR BONDS Gas masks which came into use'

in warfare for the.first time when the Germans used poison ani mus- tard gas in World War I, are much improved today over those used then. The Chemical Warfare Branch of the War Department issues these gas masks to every man in the service. We are taking no chances.

The type pictured here is the "can" and "elephant nose" mask and costs about $9.25 each. The headgear is transparent, made of material resembling cellophane and does not cloud with the breath. You can buy two of these gas masks with the purchase of an $18.75 War Bond. We need thousands of them. Don't fail to give at least ten percent of your income every pay day for War Bonds. Buy them at your bank or postoffice. regularly.

has been several of the games which were either called off or forfeited. From now on why can't all the boys of all the teams report on the afternoon that they should play. Now above all this country is in a grave condition. Men are needed badly and these men cannot for our safety be soft. They must be tough and have an idea of competition. Let's all go down frpm now on and play and when it comes our time to play let's not go to town but go to the gym and have an hour of recreation. Two hours a week will not hurt and it will help all the boys. Most of the boys will be in the service before June and this training will be helpful.

In one of the few games played .in the last two weeks found Prosser's team getting hot in the final quarter to nose out'Wells' team by 35 to 29. Wells was leading 23 to 18 until the last quarter uprising. This put Prosser's team one game behind Par- rish, but in the last game before this paper goes to presB Wells defeated Parrish 21 to 19. A long shot by Captain Wells in the last 30 seconds was the margin of victory. It was the most thrilling game of the season.

Here are the standings, and it in-

The first half of the season will end Friday; let's have all the games this week.

Hats off to-the boys who are not going to be back with us. Will see you next quarter.

The big game of this week will be Tuesday afternoon. Come out and see Parrish tangle with Prosser. This game may decide the championship.

THE GEORGE-ANNE, MONDAY, DECEMBER 7. 1942

'TEEN AGE DRAFT Washington, Dec. 7.—The President

has signed the 'teen age draft bill Its impact will be felt at once by colleges and universities throughout the nation.

About one-third of all male col- legians are 18 or 19 years old. Pros- pects for these men sum up about like this:

Approximately 25 per cent probably won't be taken because of physical disabilities.

Those already enlisted in college reserve training courses won't be taken—they are already in the army and, apparently, passage of the bill won't appreciably affect their present status. The same goes for those in senior ROTC.

All other 18 and 19-year-old college students are subject to draft call— and fast, it is estimated they will be inducted starting about Jan. 1. For a time it appeared that 'teen age men already in college would be able to obtain deferment until July 1, 1943. That prospect is now out the window for college men, although high school students called up in the last half of this school year may request deferment in order to finish out thair terms.

ONLY A DIM-OUT ' Passage of the bill does not mean

a complete blackout of educational opportunity for college 'teen agers..

Once they are in the army, these men, as well as all other 18 and 19- year-olds who are drafted, will be eli- gible to take aptitude and intelligence tests to determine whether they may return to college for technical and scientific training.

Past education, apparently, will be considered in the final selection of draftees who may return to college. Other criteria include "qualities of leadership, military ability and aptitude for more education" as reflected in examination results.

According to Representative Spark- man, Democrat, of Alabama, the army

•4*4*4*4*4*4»4*4*4*4>4*4*4*4*4*4a4>4*4*

We Invite ... Your Inspection of Our Complete Lijne WEARING APPAREL

will send more men back to college than it actually needs for its own pur- poses. These extra men would be as- signed to industrial jobs.

Sparkman points out that the army calls for training periods of varying length, from 9 to 27 months. Princi- pal courses would be medical and pre- medical courses, engineering and science. Those college men whose abil- ities and interests lie in the arts, fine and otherwise, are going to be at a disadvantage.

Although there is some disagree- ment in Washington on the point, it appears that all of the young draftees will have to complete basic training before they may return to college.

■ His financial status will have nothing whatever to do with whether a man is selected to return to college for training. Ironically, it takes the dictates of wartime logic to achieve a degree of democratic selection of those who should attend college. POST-WAR IMPLICATIONS

Which brings us to some significant war-time implications ef the 'teen age draft, bill.

As he signed the bill, the President announced that a committee of educators is making a study looking toward measures "to enable the young men whose education has been inter- rupted to resume their schooling and afford equal opportunity for training and education of other young men of ability after their service in the armed services has come to an. end,"

Although educators and officials here are chary about interpreting that statement, it is evident that there are hopes it may mean post-war democ- ratization of the American educational system. Or, in basic English, college education for all whose minds deserve it, regardless of ability to pay for it. Presumably, this would mean vastly extended goverment financing of higher education.

Even though the President's statement appears to apply only to veterans-to-be, it carries greater promise of post-war educational opportunity than that enjoyed by veterans of the last war.

As the President pointed out, "Some useful action along this line was im- provised at the end of the last war. This time we are planning in ad- vance."

College and university enrollment during the years immediately following this war will be double that of pre-war days, according to some Washington educators.

An entertaining program was highlighted by the presentation to the fraternity of a service flag representing over sixty members in various branches of the services. The lone gold star is in memory of Charles "Bull" Brown, who gave his life to his country this past summer.

Dancing to music by Marion Car- penter and his boys' orchestra, amid a colorful show-boat. setting at the Statesboro Woman's Club, finished the evening up in fine style.

Anne, from Statesboro, was elected president of the Bugger Dagger Club at a club election Wednesday night. Herbert Wells, Climax, was named vice-president; Sam Stephens, Ameri- cus, secretary-treasurer, and Lindsey Pennington, Oglethorpe, sergeant at arms.

Three present members of the club will be inducted into the armed services before next quarter, , retiring president, Zeke Daughtry, who is enlisted with the Naval Air Corps; Jack Ballinger, who is going in the Army Air Corps, and Inman Davis, who is already in the Navy.

Responding to a call at Emporia (Kans.) Teachers College, the fire laddies found an optical illusion instead. Floodlights striking millions of insects gave them the appearance of spai'ks jumping from the roof.
