THE ATHENAEUM 111 B. R. Brazeal, ’27. rPHERE seems to be a complete laxity on the part of the constituents of certain literary societies and clubs in having their regular meetings and in sending in their reports and news to their college publication. Possibly this laxity is caused by inaction of the officials or possibly the fault lies in the dilatory action of the members. A common undestanding between both will probably eradicate the lack of interest. I will take for instance the Academic Debating Society which is supposed to meet twice a month and which hardly meets once a month. The Society furnished the college with 3 men on the debat ing squad in 1924 and debaters of former years received their funda mental training by appearing in debates at the different meetings of the society. This Society should have regularity of action and continue to be the prolific source of capable collegiate debaters- If this source should stop, possibly it would be detrimental to the college’s unequal ed debationg records. Consequently we appeal to the President and members to begin anew and instill into the organization the spirit which formerly was exhibited and worked for the debating victories of the future. The M.

This club which is composed of stellar athletes, All-American and All-Southern football players, basketball players of exceptional ability and baseball players of national renown should be very active in college activities as a club. Why? In order that they might bring to the student body those things which vitally effect athletics on Morehouse college campus and which they are more in timate with than the ordinary student. Flagrant violations of train ing rules should be considered by an M Club committee and the per petrators should be given punishment in the form of “game” sus pension, or otherwise, by the committee. And most of all there should be a scholarship committee to investigate the scholastic stand ing of the athletes and boost up the faltering ones. Therefore we appeal to the men who wear the sacred and hafd earned M to obliterate the mythical, so far as club activity is concern ed, M club and organize one in reality that will bring results and thus help the athletic council, coach and director, and the athletic Associa tion to put athletics on a higher and more systemitized plane. For the benefit of the younger generation at Morehouse there has been established a club familiarly know as the Comrades Club. This club gives intermittent programs in chapel on Thursday before
