forts to li^lp fret out this paper.
There is nothing that we would
like better than to turn out to the
Klon stiulent body a paper that
ecmid c(|ual or surt)ass any ottier
,.,i11e"e publication in North
Carolina. That under the circum
stances is impossible, however,
v.itb the help and the cooperation
■of everyone concerned we would
publish a i)a])er tliat we would all
look at with )iride. One per.son
can not write a paper by himself’
or even two oi- tlir*e can not do
this without devoting their entire
time to such matters. There are
none of us connected with the
^laroon and Gold who have
enough time for this, therefore
there has been set up a so called
journalism class which is suppos
ed to write the articles that go
into the paper. .So far this year,
the meinlx‘rs of this class have not
accepted their resi)onsibilities.
We who have been set as head
c>f this paper must bear the brunt
of this criticism. On past occa
sions we have in the earlv hours of
the niorning just before the papers
iihve been released, have sat down
to the tyiKiwriter and batted out
copy, to fill in empty space, just
as we are doing now. This morn-
iug, you are not reading news in
this column, but you are reading
the mind^ of the lour boys wh()
work liere in the print shop, at-

iiame with Catawba still ringing in our eai-a^as we go to jtress, this
writer nvalls the rapid strides which this s»-1ih)1 has made since her
students really got bi'hiiid lior and g’ave the sorelv iiei’ded "punch so
long lacking.
Some declare that the thousand dollar contribution bv th> stu

of school spirit; some h(dd that it is our new streamlined band which
'las re|)!ac»d th(‘ traditioual band formation with a La (’onga that,
'vould make Louisiana’s State ('ollcige Band sit up and fake notice;
others maintain that tlu‘ liard-hitting hard-bhn'king, ganie,wiMning
t(H»tball team has br‘en tlie cause for this new feeling of lovaltv and
supiiort for the college whicli has swent tlie campus like an ocesin wave
covering everything in its sphere. Whatin’cr the cause we all have
th IS ii(*w disease and we truly hoiM* that it will be contagetMis enough
to effect the alumjii of our grrat college and cause them to .share with

New football uniforms, new baiiil ii!iifi(rins a linotvpc. machine
