Kail Irani OUR POLICY PERHAPS A newspaper, even u student pub lication. is supposed to have an edi torial policy. That is admitted. It Is inevitable. What the policy of The Red and Hlack has been Ir a question to be cleared up and crystallized. It has been the policy of The Red and Black to support the administra tion of the University. Since we re allied as we do that one-and-twenty is rather an Immuture age to start directing the work of a large insti tution. we have left this little ap preciated task to our elders. Yet the opinion of the student body has been given on University matters as far as we thought that opinion was of any note. It has been our policy to support all movements which we thought would be of benefit to the Univer sity; namely, the Bohemian club In their fight for a fine arts department connected with Franklin college, the Music club, and such occasions as F«rm Prs . week whu , h wa> rerent , y held. We do not claim unv credit for supporting ihese things; ft was our duty. it has been our policy tc all limn hustle sham such a denoed In the Innumerable f organizations, and even In teemed Y. M. C. A. In th. •he Y Is found probably 01 oat failure. Continuous , from the editorial columns duced only one measly little the result of a half-year’s br spiritual contemplation on of the cabinet. In all cases It has been our to be tolerant and symputhei far as It is possible for an sraduate or even an alumnus Believing we were not born the world right and knowlni It probably can’t be remolded to anybody’s heart’s desire, not admit any measure of a except in the case of the M*n’s Chr*st ,, n •ssoc**t**r As far as The Red and Bla< been materially concerned the tlon of this sheet is to pro' record of the week’s happening Insofar as we have succeeded I we have succeeded in our Intel WITHOUT MUCH ADO Without very much ado and yet a few hundred words I wish to some what officially wind.up my period of editorship of The Red and Black. It has been both a pleasure and a pain in the neck. I have loved to do the work and I have hated to do It. Yet as the time comes nearer to hand when I must relinquish con trol of this publication, I feel more or less like an alumnus who looks hark upon lessons as a pleasure. For the life of me I cannot under stand why anyone’s ambition should so mislead him Into such a maelstrom of extra-curricula activity, such a hurry-scurry to put forth scimper- ings of college life that nothing else receives very much consideration at all, not even those several scholastic pursuits left to him. And yet. . . . considering the newer understanding I have received of the University, the large sympathy I have found for its people and Insti tutions, and the pleasurable feeling of Importance contingent to an ed itorship, I do not at all feel that tho time and energy have been wasted. N'ot at all. . . For fifteen numbers and a half year the staff and I have dealt out weekly eight pages of news, features, opinions, advertisements, and just plain hull to the students of the Uni versity. I assure you, it has been a pleasure to hear those favorable comments upon our work .... both of them. AND MOREOVER For the staff and for myself, I wish to extend grateful acknowledg ment to the several people who have aided us materially In ideas, sug gestions, advice and actual work. Professor John E. Drewry, asso ciate professor of journalism, has been almost an Inexhaustible source for helpful suggestions, and he has co-operated with The Red and Black to the extent of making journalism students!? I who otherwise would not have worked, aid the news de partment. Mr. Krasins A. Lowe, publicity di rector of the University, has always been on hand with the official “dope” on University matters, giving us such aid as otherwise would not have been ours. To those long-suffering members of the McGregor printing department, 1 cannot give thanks enough. My appreciation of the wise advice and valuable help given by Mr. W. W. Mayes and my father knows no hounds. Mr. Raymond Richards, the excellent printer who "mukes-up” the paper, has the most equanlmous temperament. He had to have In order not to throw up his hands in despair at my Inexperience at such mutters. Ills forbearance and tol erance are unequalled. And Mr. Clarence McCune. officially known as “Buster,” plays second fiddle only to the make-up craftsman. I thank them all. I wish I could give them all a pass to every Teeh- Georgiu game for the next twenty years. AND OF THE STAFF To begin with there are no bigger fools in the University than Guy Hamilton and R. E. Hamilton. Thev have slaved, sweated, swore, tolled miserably Into the night for me. They have done everything from writing editorials to chasing down the obscurest bit of news. Thev have no sense. They should know- better. But 1 wish there had been more fools like them. Versatile, talented, and energetic. Guy and R. K. have been the right and left arms of the so-called edi torial chair. 1 thank them. With out their undivided and earnest ef forts The Red and Rlack would have suffered and the third commandment would have been fractured much oftener by your humble editor. I predict great things for them. Now after those heights let me rise again. . . . Without the feature page, so ably handled by Miss Wylly Folk, The Red and Rlack would have been a dull and lifeless thing, a sort of Congressional Record of games and club meetings. News, entertain ingly and cleverly written, with a pun or so. helps immeasurably to en liven the week’s events. The feature editor can write anything in any given time about anything, and have more puns to the column inch than anybody except Thomas Hood. Ben Hardy, John Candler, and PrentisR Courson have been some of the few- associate editors who i have worked ... a little. Boh Sherrod as sports editor for i his second term has been of exceed-1 ing great value, aided and abetted by Nathan Cans, considering that the rest of the staff knows prac tically nothing about athletics and I doesn’t give such an awful big ' hooray. . . . “Doc” Lathrop Mitchell Is a prom ising young man. Of late he has fulfilled his promises in a degree quite unexpected. Star reporters besides the news editor who usually wrote the front page, are Miss Mary Claire Brannon, and Charlie Hardy. Other members of the reportorial staff whom I wish especially to thank for their loyalty and services to The Red and Black are J. H. Napier, Jr., Sam Hirseh, Percy Johnson and Jake Carlton. Tom Hamilton has contributed several columns and colyums, for which I am grateful. . . . The business manager has been a perfect gentleman. The readers are the best Judges as to how efficiently the circulation staff has functioned —— o — AND NOW With the sweet smell of paper in my nostrils, the hum of the press in my ears, and printers’ ink under my nails. I conclude. I have used a good deal of valu able space (for advertising rates: see business manager) and a bit of your patience if you have followed thus tar. Yet I think I deserve some- j thing. . . . What the policy (if any) of my j successor may be, I do not know. 1 j fling to him merely a faint Empeyian "Carry On!” And now with a last triumphant j flourish, I stalk silently Into that not unalluring oblivion which is the goal of all Red and Black editors. Boxer Arrives in Lula Minus Rest Of His Teammates He had been told that the boxing team was to leave for Lexington, Va., Friday morning, so he was down at the station on time. Train-time ‘••me. but none of the other mem bers of the team showed up. He climbed aboard. Arriving at Lula, he decided to wire for instructions. “All the team got left but me. \\ hat must I do?” was the message Coach Smith received. Lieutenant sent him word to return to the home port. The boxing team was scheduled to leave Friday morning for a match with Washington and Lee university in Lexington, but Thursday night in formation was received that the match was cancelled. The manager notified all members of the team ex cept one. who could not be located And the next time he was heard from he was anxiously waiting in Lula. WOMEN WIN MORAL VICTORY IN DEBATE OF FOUR PROFESSORS (Continued from page 1) term menace, and lastly the word civilization, which he termed Is "any place where one may procure hot water.” Mr. Coulter was the first speaker for the negative who upheld women, declared that he would speak from the theoretical side and that his col league, Bill Tate, would speak from the practical side. He proceeded to tear down the arguments of the af firmative and in doing so, made the statement that was quoted in the opening paragraph. He also stated that women are the greatest in centives and inspiration that man may have. Mr. C. R. Anderson, second speaker for the affirmative, attempted to pro duce evidence that women were detri mental to civilization by seeking to produce evidence from the person of his opponent. Mr. Tate, whom he stated had a silk handkerchief, lip stick, rouge, and er—other articles in his possession at that time. Mr. Tate, the last speaker, stated that all his remarks could be taken with the word “probable” before them. He then stated that civiliza tion would be destroyed if there were not one woman in every generation. Mr. Tate stated, in opening, that this was a difficult subject for him to grasp, but was always next to his heart. Following the debate each one of the four debaters gave a two-minute rebuttal. The house then voted on the heat ed discussion, “Women.” The vote was declared a tie and was only broken by the president casting his vote for the negative. Following the settling of the de bate the program for the next meet ing was read, which is as follows: Oration—Mr. Lesser. Speech—Mr. Blount. Debate: "Resolved, That the Uni versity Y. M. C. A. should be discon tinued at Georgia.” Affirmative: John Candler, John Garland. Negative: L. Travis, Harris Haafer. Refreshments were served follow ing adjournment. Vaccine Received By R.O.T.C to Be Used f*n Students A shipment of typhoid-paratyphoid and smallpox vaccine has been re ceived by the military department of the University and innoculations will be given by Dr. H. I. Reynolds at the Infirmary at 8:15 a. m. on Mon days, Wednesdays and Fridays. Any regularly enrolled student in the R. O. T. C. unit will be given the innoculation free of charge If he will give his name to the chief clerk of the military department. All students who attend a military camp this summer will be required to be vaccinated. NOTICE TO SENIORS! Editor, The Red and Black, Dear Sir: It occurs to me that it would be well for you to call atten tion of all seniors who expect to graduate in June to No. 77 of the “Regulations and Infor mation for the Guidance of Un dergraduate Students,” as fol lows: “Candidates for Graduation A candidate for graduation must have completed by the beginning of his final term all studies required for the de gree. except those to be taken in class during that term. It is provided, however, that special examinations to remove failures incurred during pre ceding terms may be taken at any time before the student’s final term.” In other words, if a student has “back conditions’’ at the beginning of the third term, he cannot graduate In June; and their attention should be called to this regulation.
