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.

Standing on a corner last night, mind
ing my own business, paying no attention
to nobody, when one of those "Future
City Editor of Mangomromps Daily
Scandalizer," shuffeled toward my own
little stomping ground behind the kind
of cigar a vice president said the coun
try needed. He didn't know that the
country had ever had gny othed kind
and in formed this would-be-bull-arti;t
that the 'Tri-Weekly (comes out one
week and tries to make it the next)
column was in had need of filling-had
to need it bad or lie would secure some
one else. Now, course they couldn't he
as good as I am.
You really should have seen, that boy.
That suit he had on would make Mr.
l-Iartshaltcner blush for shame. Really
didn't know whether it was a lodge pa
rade or just the women tlfllowig him
around.
