ROUGH XOIR. E1 ROUGE ET NOIR Published at the University of Georoia- C. If. li. Floyd, ( F. K. liOLAlU), i Kditoiim. The c«litorn r<*gr<’t that cor tain very important <l<»vttlopm<‘nt« connected with the game of has*' hall in Matron on tin- 11th Inst. arc not ho complete as to lnr lipc for publication ri^ht now. The placing of the Univemity in a proper IiKht with regard to that game wan one of the motives that inHpired thin publi cation. ^ There in a competent engraver in town ^ . who ban agreed to fuiniHh half-tone«i for j a dollar and a half each, and chalk rut* • for a mere bagatelle, and with ahufttling I bualneee manager to chano ads, we can edit tho best paper and the onjy illus trated college weekly south of Pennsyl vania. NVIiat will beat this in advertis ing the college? We need such a paper to counterbal ance the newspaper slurs at the ’Varsity. The editors respectfully suggest after some experience, that there he only three editors, Kdltor-1 n-Ulilef, Business Manager and General Reporter, the lat- 1 ter being interested and informed on ail • athletic subjects. There is no time in tin* ’Varsity’s Ids tory when her prospects were brighter than now. With chances favorable for “tlir" (appropriation with ;MM) students in prospect for next year, and our ath letic advancement from insignificance to a comparative height, there is no won der that we are startled by vague nmbl- ■ lions of seeing our University of Geor gia take the place of honor and prosper ity to w hich her honorable record as well as her position of University to the Greatest state in the South entitles her. Her record has personified that of many a poor student w ho has battled for an education within her walls. From infancy she has, like great men, hem always misunderstood, and possi Idy like them w ill only he appreciated when she is no more. Her every step forward is opposed and jeered at from Brunswick to Home. Her strpa back ward, w lieu they have been mule, call forth a sneer shaped hy the voices of a million Georgians, and when she appears to he neither retrograding nor progress ing the censure is not abated. lien as udent sneer.es on the campus the London Times publishes a special from Athens stating that the country has been blown up with dynamite. And if a student docs take otT a gate or two in an extilierstice of eollege (?) spirit, the press of Georgia and the Uni ted States iikc all their ink in head lines and go Into the hands of a receiver in consctpiencc. 'l ids exaggeration of every fault com mitted by students has reached a point wrhere patience certainly lias ceased to I e a virtue. In spite of ail this she lias existed and will 0111111111' to exist because those who have been here send their sons after them. I'm best praise is that nearly our every student had an uncle or a father who, stiai v as it may sc* in, ran the gauntlet ol our hoirihly vicious habits and gen eral depravity, and lived to send hint here. NS Idle the Bed and Black of the past has been a paper up to the standard of co.lege publications, yet that is not say ing much. There is nothing in the w ay of making a college paper the most intensely inter esting sheet to its reader* published any- where, provided the editors have some ingvuuUy and a certain kind of literary ability. (The fault o( this pa|»cr is due to the editors' lack of these ipialities . There Is no place more favorable for the glow th of the very ln»st and brightest of college papet* than the University. The admirable system of electing edi tors, tlielr ret|H>nslhillty to the Athletic Association will secure the brightest men in college and the best articles. Concerning the Bed and Black: Mon ey received from advertisers who paid for the whole year was refunded, so that that they paid only for value re ceived. The paper would have lx*cn able to refund money for the year’s sub scriptions, had it not been for the rather deplorable fact that many students who had received the paper for six months couldn't or wouldn't pay. However, the twelve copies which the j Bed and Black owes to her year suhscrl- ' tiers will he duly sent them next year, i The Business Manager of the Bed and Black, proper, lias six dollars in the treasury which will he turned over to the new management next year. The Advisory committee scums to lie kicking politics from everything in col lege. Its suggestion was a stroke of genius. The meetings of the Athletic Council are looked forward to with pleasure hy all who have the honor to he on that hoard. The meeting at Dr. Ilerty's, the first regular assemblage of the council, was enjoyable in every respect, and withal was one of the smoothest affairs ever held since polities have been tin* rule in the University—I. e.. since the begin ning.

Tlie Augusta evening Herald eaine out with the following Associated Press dis patch the other day: "Athkns, Ga.—The faculty of the University have been expelled: they are Mose Mostcllo; Iiyals, of Savannah, and Smith of Augusta." This contains the usual amount of truth in despatches concerning 'Varsity affairs. AS IN A TELEPHONE. Curtain rises on a luxuriously fur nished room. A figure discolored knee deep in plush carpets.
