Demosthenian Hall July 24, 1942.
The meeting of Demosthenian was called to order by president George
O. Marshall. Minutes were read and approved with additions by H.
B. Edwards, Jr. who asked that the following statement be included
in last week’s minutes: "Edwards said that his entire speech
in Demosthenian last week was made for benefit of Governor Talmadge
and that it would get him 25,000 - 50,000 votes."
Mr. Firor asked that the word "hell" be struck out of
his statement of last week.
Wilbur Orr, Treasurer, gave a financial report. He said that all
of the society's bills were paid in full. Mr. Orr asked that Mr.
Gus Partee be given a speaker's key as he was eligible for such.
There was a motion made to that effect and it was carried unanimously.
George Doss, Chief Justice, announced the names of new members and
they were sworn into the society. A list of the new members, with
grades, follows: Pope Hill, Jr. 90; Julius Williams 80; Athley Jordan
95; Wimbric Walker 75; Bill Evans 85; Travis Douglas 85; George
Anderson 87; Jack Fulliver 85; Floyd Turk 85; Billy Martin 90; Joe
Spence 70; Dick Gnann 95.
President Marshall then congratulated the new members upon their
decision to become affiliated with Demosthenian. He then called
upon each of them to make a short talk to the members of the society.
Wilson Darden welcomed the new members into the society in behalf
of the members of the society.
Jack Royal placed before the society a plan for an honor system
for the University of Georgia and asked all Demosthenians to think
about the system for the next few weeks.
David Firor spoke briefly in behalf of the plan, but added that
with its good points, the plan had its disadvantages. He suggested
that the various schools and colleges in the University begin the
honor system individually.
Jimmy Moore made remarks favoring the honor system.
Wilbur Orr suggested that Beryl Sellers, Editor of the Red and
Black, present the problem of the honor system in the columns of
the Red and Black.
Mr. Sellers assured the society that he was in favor of the proposal
and that he would begin work immediately to put the idea across
to the students.
Jimmy Moore moved that Mr. Royall’s suggestion be tabled for discussion
at the next meting. The motion was carried.
The meeting then adjourned upon motion from the floor.
Respectfully Submitted,
Robert Joiner, Secty.
