The 19th Century Governor of Georgia Pitt will play Georgia Tech on Jan. 2 and Bobby Grier will be in the lineup, no thanks to Georgia Governor Marvin Griffin. Georgia's champion of white supremacy dis graced his office and his state before he was forced to retract his demand that Georgia Tech pull out of the Sugar Bowl if Pitt played its Negro fullback. It is encouraging to note the overwhelming tide of adverse public opinion which battered the opinion of the Georgia governor following his demagogic statement. But we can’t help wondering if this opinion which beat down the governor was not influenced considerably by the handsome gate receipts awaiting Georgia Tech in New Orleans and the glamour and publicity surrounding the classic. We wonder if people, southerners and north erners alike, would have squawked if Bobby Grier would have been forbidden to play in a sandlot pick-up game with whites. But be that as it may. the fact that Griffin was so roundly condemned from so many quar ters in the South is encouraging no matter what the reasons for the censure. One of the most sincere apologies for the governor’s action came from the student body president of Georgia Tech who apologized to Pitt for Griffin’s “unwarranted action”. He said WSGA Hails Student-Faculty Integration For every student who polishes professors' apples in the hope of getting higher grades there is probably one who avoids the company of these same professors for fear he will be tagged a proverbial boot licker. But both of these attitudes are bad for they encourage shallow, unrealistic, student-faculty relations. The barrier that sometimes separates students from instructors in our classrooms may be some what an outgrowth of the “teacher’s pet” prac tices of grade school where the most scholarly and best mannered of the third grade curricula is singled out to receive the best grades. The eight-year-old, usually aware of his priviledged status, becomes one of the teacher’s most loyal pupils—a dependable blackboard cleaner and swift note carrier. Obviously this is unfair—possibly for the “pet” and certainly for the rest of the third grade pupils. Still it is a better system of grade buying than is practiced by the higher educa tion method. At. least the smartest and most promising youngster is awarded the honors, while on the campus the most prolific classroom discussion contributor often walks off with high scholas tic recognition. He is not singled out by the lirofessor as the brightest—rather he speaks ong and loud from his front row seat on a parrot-like rephrasal of the instructors already staled viewpoint. For students who are aware, this is a dis- Gazette...

Acting Business Manager further that “we are looking forward to seeing your entire team and student body at the Sugar Bowl.” This augers well for the future of the South in following the specified policies of integra tion as defined by the Supreme Court. But the fact remains that it is positively frightening that an edict such as Griffin pro claimed could ever emanate from a chief execu tive of one of the 48 states. And he was not without some support. A few members of. the Georgia Board of Regents, governing body of the university system, and the state legislature were publicly quoted as being in agreement with the governor’s order. How many others were afraid to support the governor publicly? For one man to profess such a bigoted belief is disgraceful, but when even a minority en dorses his stand it is dangerous to the American way. Governor Griffin and his clan should wake up to the realities of the world and re-examine the basic philosophies of a democracy. Reason able people appreciate the problem they face with integration after living for hundreds of years opposed to it. But reasonable people have no sympathy for bigots who attempt to main tain 19th century standards and deliberately block progress gusting way to make a grade. For instructors who are aware, it is disgusting. But some of these pets are so clever they disguise ignorance with verbosity and stupidity with wit. They often complete the course with enviable grades lowering the level of general student-faculty relations so that a cordial “Good morning” raises eyebrows and an academic chat provokes snickers. This is unfortunate. It is doubly unfortunate to think the students with the low intellectual integrity are the ones usually responsible for this social stigma against academic friendships. Ideas formulated by a combination of mature knowledge and youthful viewpoint would be more valuable than the often stale intelligence as opposed to the rather fresh ignorance. This segregation of faculty and students slows up learning both for the students and for the in structors. To improve student-faculty relations is as noble as it is vague. But the Women’s Student Government Association Junior-Senior Faculty Tea points to the right direction. Although it is conducted on a small scale its effects could be widespread. Junior and senior women are invited to meet about a hundred faculty members in Simmons lounge tomorrow evening. The crowd will probably be an interesting one. Attendance will not be checked, grades will not be given and apples will not be served. —Jackie Hudgins One for Each? Inefficiency and waste in government is an old hack. Many people seem to feel it goes hand in hand with a bureaucracy. And perhaps they are right. Witness this latest bit of bureaucratic “service" to the taxpayer. Seven scientists from the University recently departed for Burma to man an Air Force ob servation post for the Dec. 14th solar eclipse. As is customary, the Air Force public infor mation department forwarded a news release to The Daily • Collegian concerning the scien tists' work. Enclosed with the release were no less than seven copies of a group picture of the scientists. To top it off, the names of scientists from the University of Pittsburgh who are tak ing part in the study were underlined in the release "for our convenience." Anyone want six pictures of seven scientists? •—The Editor Burton Federman, Earl Grissinger, Sarah Harkins, Robin Harrison, James Headings, Paul Hill, Faith Jackson, Gilda Koplovits, John Larimer, Lanlce Moore, Philip Mul* len, Charlotte Mustinaki, Thomas Oago, Robert Sttteler, Leo Synnestvedt, George Weimer, and Dorothy Thompson.

Photo Editor On Assignment One of the outstanding events of the year was, of course, the opening of Sunday movies in the town. We were on hand to record the event last Sunday and wound Up seeing our favorite new actor, Jack Lemmon, in “My Sister Eileen.” Suprisingly enough, the majority of persons waiting for the first shows were kids. Our origi nal idea was to see “The African Lion” at the Nittany, but with a bunch of yelling kids throwing popcorn around, we figured it’d be worse than a midnight show. How would all this, affect the student-xun movies in Osmond Lab each Sunday?'' We talked with one of the members of the group and he said "Actually we don’t even know yet. we’ll either continue until the crowd drops out or show foreign films in the HUB assembly room. Get those cheaper, you know." Come to think of it, that’d be a good idea. We have, yet to see an American movie measure up to a good J. Arthur Rank film or other foreign produc tions. “SURE FIRE DIALOGUE" DEPT: With famous sayings like these you can’t possibly go wrong when writing a movie or radio show. We’d like to add a few to those which have already been circulated (the outstanding one being: “Whoever our killer is he is both clever and cunning.”). From the Class Z movie “Quen tin Durword”: "We can’t go down this way, the stairs are burningl" Or for any mystery program: "Don’t look now but I think we’re being followed." Also: "Somewhere in this case I suspect foul play." Sign in the TIM office in Waring Hall: "I have hit on an idea for the Jan. 13 dance. It shall be the big slurp before finals ... or the lolly pop ball. Cute huh (?)l Of course the lolly pops are the main theme, etc. AH we need is about a ton of lolly pops and we have a dance." Oh, I’m sure a half ton would do. Yuletide gifts show you care, Whether friends are here or there. Shopping can be lots of fun, Picking gifts for everyone.
