THE RED AND BLACK.
DEMOSTflENI AN SOC IET V
Society was called to onler liv
president Tidwell, at regular hour
of meeting, 10: 0. Thin being reg
ulnr time for election of officer* the
following were elected without op
position: President, Guyton; vice-
president, Uyels; first censor, limit;
second censor, Pettis.
Question for dehate, “Resolved,
That Cleveland* courae of action
has been in accord with I lomorratlo
doctrine,” wax the one unpointed
for the day, hut aouie wished to
substitute for it, “Resolved, That
Kvan*' election for (lovernor of
Georgia would he more helpful to
Democratic intercut* in the •lute
than for Atkinson to lie elected.”
The debate wax long and animated,
and reunited in a deciaion for the
affirmative, when the house appealed
from the deciaion of the chair. All
of which ahowa that the Imy* arc
inlerealed in the politic* of the
country and that they are about
equally divided between the above
named candidate*.
The quealion for today'* debate
will he the tiral named above.

Some of the claaae* in our Nouietv
have arranged In coiiIunI lor the
medal offered by the trustee*, au l
effort ha* been made to get up the
requiNite number hi each of the
cla*«e*, hut thoae who lake iulereat
in tin* HiHMely, attend the meeting*
and work luithfully in the regular
debate*, have refilled to enter the
context because they *ny the Nueces*
fill one* in context* for medal* and
speaker’* place* are seldom the men
who deserve the position*. They
appreciate the apiril of the trustee*
in offering these medals, but
their generous action will
not amount to much uules*
they can slop the practice
of partiality and favoritism so long
prevalent in the University. As long
a* some boys can play hall, tennis,
etc., during session* of the societies
and never appear in them except at
some contest, ami then because ol
their wealth of popularity ami with
speeches written by their able friend*
outside of college, win the medals,
speaker's places, etc., both in so
oiety and their classes, the award
iug of medals will do little to keep
up the literary societies. Wherever
the University is know n this prac
tice i* known or believed, and it is
her greatest enemy. When hard
working and ambitious boys who
contemplate entering college learn
that the average hoy stands but lit
tie chance at these things at the
University, they overlook the good
to be derived from entering these
contests, and consequently goes to
Kiuory or Mercer. Not only does
this favoritism keep many boy*
sway from the University, but it
causes a great deal of political strife.
Those who work for positions and
lose them simply for reason* given
above, naturally make effort* to
keep mere popularity from placing
men in offices tilled bv election.
They believe that when a boy does
hi* own work and earns a position,
he should have it. And it is to be
hoped that tile Trustee* will look
into this matter and not suffer it to
longer exist.
