Futility In Georgia
The government of Georgia continues its arrogant defiance of the trend of federal court decisions affecting the status of racial segregation in public schools and colleges. The state's current budget bill, written to specifications laid down by Governor Herman Talmadge, provides that no funds shall go to any school or college now for whites that admits a Negro.
In a move to fortify this position the Georgia Legislature is considering a constitutional amendment that would permit transfer of public schools and colleges to private operators and make state funds available to these under the condition that strict segregation be maintained.
Both Texas and Oklahoma found, at considerable expense, that attempts to provide equality in a completely segregated system are futile. Under pressure of Supreme Court decisions, the universities of both states have had to open certain divisions to Negroes. Missouri has done likewise, fortunately without waiting for orders from Washington.
now for whites that admits a Negro.
The extent to which Georgia is set to defend the principle of white supremacy is illustrated in what could happen to the University of Georgia. In case the federal courts should rule, as they have in several states, that Negroes are entitled to enter white schools when the courses they want are not offered in Negro schools, the university would be deprived of all funds.
By the same procedure all state funds would be withheld from elementary and high schools for whites in the event of a court order to open the doors of any one of these.
Georgia's first interest obviously is not in providing equality under its system of segregation, but in building a wall around its white schools. It is hard to see how such a wall can be built except through improvement of Negro schools to the point there can be no evidence of inequality between educational opportunities offered young people of the two races.
Georgia rejects this sensible course at the risk of terrible damage to its whole educational system. And it seems bound to lose in the end.

The editor of the Sour Owl says he has a little "sugar" to sweeten up the cover of the next issue of the mag. Rodney Nipnap says said editor is probably just tooting his own Horn.
A journalism prof told his class the old classic, "Brevity is beauty." One of his students said, "Bikini bathing suits?"
Rodney Nipnap approves alcoholic beverages for service men. He says we should by all means have a little beer in every salt.
We understand the marriage and family class will have a round table discussion on sex education. The panel will no doubt star Ethlyn Ann Bird, Lawrence Bee, and Ralph C. Flowers.
Little Man On Campus
by Bibler
I read Phog Allen's remarks in the U.D.K. about the "rabbit ear" officiating at Iowa State. Speaking of "rabbit ear," I think Phog is a good example of this in coaching. Several times this season I have read his threats of benching certain first stringers. Personally I don't think Phog has got enough guts to bench one of them. He might hurt someone's feelings or is it that he doesn't have confidence in a lot of that "dead wood" he carries.
No Use Going Out Now Team Is Already Chosen
The incident of his shoving the Iowa State trainer wasn't clarified by any Kansan sports writer. Are you guys afraid to say anything against the almighty Dr. Allen? The radio announcer and other newspapers stated definitely that Phog shoved the trainer. Come now boys, in your business news is supposed to be news. No favors or fears are considered. Let's have all sides—including ours.
Dear editor:
Now I see a column written in the Kansan favoring Bruce Drake as coach of the year. Is it the coach or is it the team's ability? If it's the coach I guess this makes Dr. Allen the worst coach in the Big Seven or even maybe the nation. Of course, we always have an excuse handy when things don't go for the good.
I've no doubt about the starting five for K.U. They are good (when they play aggressively) but five men can't play it all. The substitutes haven't contributed greatly, but being a substitute to the K.U. five is pressure enough without going is only when the pressure is on. The subs probably have a hard time getting Phog to talk to them but yet they make the team with no trouble. I don't get it. They are subject to ridicule from the fans with boos and "Oh no Phog" ringing in their ears when they go into the game.
I am inclined to believe the letter published about the freshmen who left their phone numbers on the desk. Yet I'll wager that the same "dead wood" will be on the squad next year because they are the right people. I guess the roster is made out for next year. No use going out for the team.

Fine Arts junior P.S. By "dead wood" I don't mean the first two or three subs. You take it from there.
Yesteryears Loyalty Movement
(From the UDK, Nov. 26, 1919)
The loyalty movement received a big boost Monday night when arm bands appeared on the campus.
Many people half wondered what the first step would be after swearing allegiance to the cause, and the idea promises to be a popular one.
Twenty-five hundred of the bands were ordered by the W.S.G.A., who desires to have it known that the idea is not a money making scheme.
