The Very Idea! By Bill Gaines ti reshmen are again staring in widd oriticed amazement at the wonders ot the campus; sophomores are Hfaunting their veneer of sophistication gained through a year's sojourn at the University; Jun iors are borrowing "ponies' in prepara tion for a hard term ahead and seniors are wondering how they will loft in a cap and gown. In other words, the temples of learning are again being opened to the eager and serious scholar, the professorial hair is being curled for the entrancing of .the co-eds and the pedagogical eye sharpened for the unruly male element, the football squad is busily pertorming the amenities by trampling its collective face in the mire of Melton Field wider spiked shoes and autumn is in the air. (We hope that the changing seasons will be all tha;t will be in the air at the University this session.) School is again open, so, hallelujah- Woe is me ! And, hurrah for Al ! according to whdther you are a pessimist, optimist or merely a Democrat. A pall of gloom was passed over the campus when it was learned that Dr. A. C. Moore wvas dead. Dr. Moore had Mi abundance all the qualities and at tributes of a true, Southern gen'tleman and in his passing, the campus, -thie. U.t.i" versity and the state is deprived of a man who strived for their advancement. It is ernestly to be hoped that the spirit that cliarac:erized Dr. Moore in all his dealings with his fellow man. will long live for its kindly, understanding, re tormatory worth. Open politics has long been the goal toward which all universities and schools have been striving. Never can this ob jective be reached as long as the present spirit of ridiculing openly declared candidates predominates. The courage it takes to avowedly stand for an office of one's desire which in itself is flount ing precedent in the face is a courage that is worthy of applause rather than contumely. Praisewort'hy reforms will never be accomplished as long as the presen't asinine spirit of inanely laughing down worthy projects persists. With this, the first issue of The Game cock, it migh be well to outline the policy that will characterize this column. It will be devoted to comment on af fairs on the campus and not for the aggran dizemen't of any club, fraternity, social or clique. It will at all times endeavor to be the point with no attempt to straddle the fence. It will be no med ium for personalities. It will relegate any issue willingly to the waste basket rather than be unjust. And last, it in 1 tends to be coonducted with all decorum.
