I am extremely happy, but -if not I

largely due to them that the paper
has been what it has. In handing
the work over to the n'ext staff. we,

greatest success in all its history.
STUDENT BODY MEETINGS.
\t the begillling of the session we
had some of the best student body
meeting.'s that we have had in the
last four vears. The chapel was
croWded. Ilit now the bovs are
seeminlgly os interest in th.e
businless of these gatherings. .\s
S(on as they are dismisse<l froml
chapel tley I-un for the door as if
soelleoe wislied to 1()ck them up in
jail. :\Ild whenl the meetilng is
called to order there remain oIly a
few juniors al seniors to transact
the businvess.

\\'e kinlw that they might 1not he inl

THE STATE COMMENTS.
One of the great daily papers of
the South has seen fit to take notice
of our little weekly paper, The
Gamecoqk, and comment on one of
our edi orials. We were very much
surprised that this paper of wide
reputatioin should take what we
acknowledged to be our weakest
argument and try to find the fallacies
in it. \Vhy did they not pick the
strong points anl rej)ly to them?
The State t(loubtedly misunder
stood the aim of our petition. \Ve
merely meant that since we have
gone through our four years of hard
labor and have risei to be a eiiior,
we want just two weeks before
com1menlcemient in which to do our
work, such as writinig speeches,
essays. etc. The wyriter of the
State's editorial un(loubtedly did not.
read the entire article il 0111 paper.
Ile writes as if lie thinks we aix
trying(3, to tramlple the fresh and
sophis tiider our feet, wlhei we
Ierelv want to establish a custom
wihich we think will be for the goo(d
of the L'niversitv. We realize that
we are all the same kind of material,
alid ttit we all once came froi "the
reIM-est parts of the backwoods,"
but we have risen to the top an(d we
want to be recognized. There is just
one point that we would like to call
attention to in his article. In one
paragraph he is praising the fresh
men as the "pure and ingenuous
young man,"' anmwd inl the next para
graph lie refers to the 'vile freshies"
aid vulgar sophs" as the associates
of the seniors. lie cannot he both.
So we would like for our learned
editor to explaiin his actual position.
We caimot see upoi whiat preiises
such "iuf'' as this is based.
The State says, "down with the
selliors." We suppose four years
froi nowl he -;ill be sayilg "dow
with the seniors" again an( they
will be tile very fellows whom he is
praising at present. We say, seniors
to the top where the beaders of men
are found, aul where we will rise if
we are grantedh our just, d,eserving
priv'ileges.
If the .editor is the champion of
the plain man, we ask him to help
us, who are just about to step out
into the cruel world, to get our
riglits ald privileges as plain men of
truth, honor. anld virtue.
