The failure on the pari <>f tin* 1
Editor-in-chief ami Local Edi
tor to return to college threw the
responsibility of getting out the
first issue of the Rki> and Black
mi the shoulders iif the Athletic
Editor, and the thanks of the
paper are duo hint fur tin' excel
lent manner in which he dis
charged this duty.
To till these two vacancies on
the stall the Advisory Commit
tee nind ■ two nomination!!, hut
on ncenunt of the excitement
and deninrali/aiion due In the
Carnival, though several at
tempts were made, it was found
impossible to get a meeting of
the Athletic Association during
that week. This is the reason
that there was no issue of Rkd
vnii Black last week, for until
the in’cling nf the Association
on Monday last there was no
election of an Editor-in-Chief
or a Local Editor.
Cntil the close of the football
season the Unit ash Black will
appear on Tuesday and not on
Tuesday and
Saturday, as has been the cus
tom in the past. This change
is matle in order to ho able to
give accounts of the games, it
being much less difficult to give
an accurate description after the
game has l>eon played than to
tell in detail what is going to
happen.
The Rkii ami Hi ick is the of-
licial organ of the Athletic Asso
ciation and is published in the
interest of the University. It
is supposed to voice the senti
ments of the student-body and
not the |>ersonal feelings of its
stall'. Therefore we will always
be glad to hear from any stu
dent on any subject of general
interest to tile College, and will
take great pleasure in publish
ing communications, poems and
the like. So do not hesitate to
'end in any article you may see
tit.
Marion Smith (seeing
cooche-cooohe spoiler and
the
his
drums on the camel): “Say.
Meldrim, is that a camel or
a dromedary that has two
humps?”
Meldrim : ” 1 am not certain,
hut it must ho a drumednry—
look at the drum on his hack.”
We must all recognize the fact
I that it would not have been
proper for the Faculty to have
suspended college during the
Carnival. They could not ofli- ,
I chilly notice, though personally
'they may have, that Fatima
was still dancing, that Jumbo
was in town, and that Bosco
irforcixe t<> 1 eats them alive. All that they
could do towards contributing
to our pleasure they did, and
for this we thank them.
The sooner we realize that
college regulations are made, j
not to show the power of the!
makers, but merely as a neces- j
sarv help for governing the
student body, the better off we
will be. 'Tin' Faculty have a
duty which they are paid to
perform, ami in the perform
ance of that duty often they will
run counter to our wishes. This
will necessarily happen some
times. lint whenever they think
lour requests reasonable, they
grant them, the record in the
past proves this. Certainly it
would be much easier for them
to allow us to consult our own
sweet wishes in all matters, to
not make us attend classes but
to leave the matter to our own
judgment. But if they did this,
they would be derelict in the
performance of their duty, and
so we see, it is necessary that in
sonse wav they c >ui|k'I students
to attend their classes.
In order to accomplish this,
for the past few years a system
of absccnce regulations has been
in force, and this system proved
to he not only inelTective and
demoralizing, hut very distaste
ful to us. Iu an attempt at the
same time to better accomplish
the result, hut chielly to consult
our wishes, the old method has
been abolished, and the plan
now in use, adopted. The suc
cess or failure of the present
plan depends entirely upon the
students. Try to make it a suc
cess for it is for our own good
that it was formed.
It is a very easy and alluring
habit to form, that of staying!
away from the class, when you
do not know the recitation, or
when you want to go somewhere
else or have something else to
do. An extremely comfortable
way of spending the morning,
when it is cold and drizzling out
side, is that of staying in a
warm bed, sleeping and dream- \
ing awhile, then waking anil
thinking about how hard you
ar»> going to study—to-morrow, |
that to-morrow that never
comes. Then after you have
thought obotit your girl, and
proved conclusively that we will
win the next game, and nfter
you have counted up your al>-
sences and found out how many
you have left before you pass
beyond recall, your thoughts
fail upon that everlasting al
ways interesting and never
solvable problem of expenses.
More difficult than any proposi
tion in Prof. Barrow’s Calculus,
or Col. Snelling’s Algebra, is
that of trying to see how 20.00
coming from home on the first |
will settle the 80.00 worth of;
debts you owe. My friends 1
there is hut one solution, we
have all reached the same an
swer, thanks he to him, lie he
student, or trader, or manager
of our team, who first gave us j
that word, compromise. And
after you have done all this,
you decide what high position in
life you will fill, and determine
with how many millions of
your wealth you will endow
this Cniversity, then you fall
j hack to sleep and again awake
to find—that you are two ab
sences nearer your limit, and
that expulsion is not far oil',
unless the error uf your ways
he mended.
This limit of forty absences
was set, not that you could see
how near it could be approached
with impunity, not to place tin
abounded duty on every student
to get that many, hut as a limit
beyond which no one shall pass.
This article is not intended to
lie a moral lecture but is a sort
of “experience meeting,” in
tended to warn students against
cutting and—to fill up space.
