STUDENTS INVITED TO WRITE KDITOKIAIjK.
rpHE time of the editor at present is completely
taken up with the organization and overseeing
of his rapuhle stac In their arduous task of col-
lectlng news, writing copy, constructing headlines,
and composing the paper. It Is hoped to perfect
an organisation that will ho startling in its effi
ciency.
However, this work does not allow time for the
writing of editorials, as editorials are or should
he the product of much deep thought and long
reflection. Therefore from the great depths of
bis generous heart, the editor will allow these
sacred columns to be used as an outlet for various
ideas that may be residual upon the chests of
studious readers.
Accordingly we announce that this page will he
given over to the expression of student opinion
other than that of the editor. Names will he
signed to all such editorials. Those which are
not signed will probably be written by the editor
who was In too big a hurry to nttacli his name.
ANNOUNCEMENT.
VI^HILE "e are at the typewriter we will tuke
v ’ the time to announce to the readers and the
constituents of this paper thut the editor is about
to assume some heavy responsibilities. Some mem
bers of the stalT are loafing, and they are going to
be reprimanded.
It Is a large enough Job to get out a paper with
the full co-operation of the entire stafT and many
philanthropic outsiders. It la still more diftlcult
when an attempt is being made to improve the
paper and give the students their money's worth
It requires the greater part of a week's work for
many men who are getting nothing for It except
the knowledge that they are contributing some
thing to their school.
Therefore the editor is going to take the liberty
to remove the deadheads who do no more than
111 up space with their names on the page. He
does this with the full realization that these men
have been elected to this position by the popular
vote of the student body. If the student body
wishes for these men to retain their places and
to rise by progression on up the scale, they can
be voted up next time. But the editor announces
to his readers and constituents that the names of
those who absolutely fail to do any form of work
when appealed to day after day each week, are
going to be conspicuous by their absence.
DO HE DEFEND TIKI MUCH ON IXKJICAL
CONCLUSIONS?
CANOE SOLILOQUIES
She Muses
\TO class of people appreciate the present need
^ ’ of the world for Christianity more than do
college students. It must be said, however, that
a number of speakers on this subject fail to realize
the attjtude that a thinking man takes toward the
teachings of Christ. The average student can easily
be made to see that the code of moral laws as set
down by the Great Teacher is a set of rules that
are best for his own interests, for his own happi
ness and for the welfare of the world at large.
The Divinity of Christ Himself, and the divine
inspiration of the Hebrew prophets is a question
that might be left out of a discussion entirely,
unless the talk be purely for that purpose.
To tell a college man that he must not resort
to logical reasoning is to ask him to put a hood
over his eyes, and to this he will never listen;
for he has intelligence enough to know that
Christian ethics are the result of the most logical
reasoning possible. If a belief could not be backed
by reasonable conclusions then it would most as
suredly be an unreasonable belief, and it grates
upon the nerves to have a speaker tell us other
wise.
Society depends, not so much on its civil as on
its moral laws; and we would much rather be
shown the soundness of these laws, than to be
confused by insistancce on a soul and on a re
ligious Idea, and on the discard of logic. Many
will obey the Golden Rule, for instance, much
more quickly if, Instead of being told that "it is
written” he is shown how he and the world will
be more benefltted when he follows this instinct,
than when he opposes it.
A thinking man can have Faith in Logic and
in Logic alone. He can not have faith in some
thing that is illogical, nor in something, when he
knows not what it is in which he has his faith.
The reasons why Christian principles should be
followed are most extremely logical, and it is on
this account that a college man will believe in
them. A plea to follow His commandments on
any other grounds is useless and generally un
heeded. We like to have speakers bring out true
moral laws and hammer them into us so strongly
that we will wish to live accordingly. They might
leave out other irrelevant matters.
The Red and Black announces that it has suc
ceeded in aoquiring an office. Henceforth drop
by at any time of day to the Demosthenian Build
ing and see us. We never sleep. Our office will
be on the first floor of the Demosthenian Building.
THE VALUE OK CONVENTIONS.
By “Doc" Sanders
1T is with a feeling of alarm that the "old-
timers" note the insistent breaking and throw
ing into disuse of so many of the time-honored
conventions of our fathers. The most logical view
to take of most of our conventionalities Is that they
were naturally evolved from our moral laws as a
device for making easier the respect of these laws.
We may think of society as a steel shaft revolvjng
at high speed, ready to fly off into chaos at the
first diminishing of the forces which hold it in its
track. Then, in considering these jfofees. we
naturally think of them as the bearings in which
the shaft of society revolves. They are our civil
and moral laws.
And now we come to convention, which is the
oil in the hearing, making the shaft run more
smoothly over the sometimes harsh and grating
lawB of society. Then the small, almost inconsid
erable conventions, the ones that are simply a part
of "good breeding,” "politeness," or whatever you
may wish to call it, are merely another set of
shock-absorbers for the more rigid and basic of
the conventions. Some of the lesser ones may
even seem Illogical in as far as they themselves are
concerned but if the whole is considered, the moral
and civil laws, the greater and less conventions,
they will appear as a harmonious entity, with each
component as a necessary part for the smooth
working of the machine called Society.

Oh, would that I were seventeen
With all my youthful treasures,
Back home again with bashful Jean
Amid my childhood pleasures!
My pensive mind is want to dream—-
Ah, there—a man! A MAN!
He sculls toward me; ah 'twould
seem
He’s coming here to land!
He Muses
H-m, lonesome a bit 1 guess,
And not over thirty-two,
(She might look younger in that
dress)
Oh, well, I guess she’ll do.
In my younger days I used to see
Nothing over twenty,
But now I’m wisened up, dear me!
Yes, thirty-two is plenty.
She’ll soon awake to my manly
guile—
I never fail them when I smile.
She Continues
Slow poke! I guess he’ll take all day;
I'm dying to see what he’s like.
I’ll make believe I’m Ashing—this
way—
(For suckers, or maybe for pike)
Closer he comes—There! Isn't he
cute?
An’ angel man for the part!
A regular dashing, handsomest brute,
Oh, how he could smother my
heart!
I’ll look down a bit and wait till he
speaks,
And see in the water the rouge on
my cheeks. . . .
He Continues
Closer—closer—I’m almost there,
(But I mustn't work too fast)
My word! She was well worth row
ing out here,
She’s clearly got me outclassed!
Oh dam. . . . she looks down. . . .
And her cheeks with anger are
red!
Does she bend so low to hide a
frown?
Well, see that your fishes are fed!
She Complains
Stuff! I knew you wouldn’t stop!
I knew that you wouldn’t dare!
You knew I’d have landed this oar
on the top
Of your ugly mop o' red hair!
Paddle your boat, old man, paddle
on,
To pass without a word!
Not good enough, huh? Well strut
along!
Old devil man—you’re absurd!
He Complains
Oh well, I'm not anxious anyway.
You were older than I thought,
So there you are, I’ll let you stay
Just to teach you to do as you
ought!
So feed your Ashes my ancient
maid—
May they gobble you up alive!
And Concludes
How 'twould have been to have
stayed
On land and not deprive
1 liis ancient maid in visions wrapped
Of dreams that could have been,
I should've stayed ashore and
napped—
She’d never have spurned me then!

forms depends almost entirely on the
acquiring by Georgia of a distin
guished unit here. The inspector
from the War Department is to be
down soon and upon his recommen
dation will depend the issue.
Students are urged to give the
best showing possible before the in
spector who is liable to be here at
any time.
The type of uniforms to be se
lected lies with the students them
selves, but it is expected that they
will either closely follow the regu
lation army uniform, or will adopt
the British cut with rolled collar.
