Captaii'Raoul Track ’07
Mr. boring Raoul captain of
this year’s truck team was re
elected by the Athletic Council
last Monday.
Raoul is the hardest worker on
the team as well as one of its
most brilliant performers and
willcontinue to makea thorough
ly satisfactory captain. He is
well acquainted with all that
pertains to track, and'the fact
that he got out a winning team
this year with several of his best
men out most of the season
speaks well for his ability.
The track team made a good
record this spring. It snowed
Auburn under, won the Atlanta
meet from Emory and Tech, and
lost to Clemson by a small mugi.i
With most of the team returning
next year we look for great things
from Captain Raoul and his
team.

In his judgement the luck of
public conscience is the tup root
of all evils of municipal govern

taking an active interest in poli

to office whose personal con
science is most highly developed,
lie believes that the growing
evils of municipal government
would be eliminated if the best
men were selected for the place.
I le mui lit a i neif that next to the
selection of good men for office
should come the elevation of I lie
