The annual, of which Harriett Causey is editor, has met all dead- lines so far, and if such progress continues, by engravers, printers, and the student staff, it will be issued May 1 as announced at the beginning of the school year. Al- most all copy is in, a good per- centage of the photography is now at the engravers, and covers for the book have already been made. Nearly all photographs have been taken except some for the feature section and those of several or- ganizations, and the printer guar- antees that, if everything is in by March 15, the annual will be out on time. The greatest difficulty at present lies in the cost. Estimates have been made, and it is evident that the annual, due to rates that have increased as much as one hundred per cent, will cost approximately $7,000.00, almost exactly twice as much as last year. $5,000.00 has been collected from subscriptions, organization fees, school subsida- tion, etc., but the remaining $2,- 000.00 must be raised from adver- tising. Three courses of action are possible: 1. Sell 35 pages of ad- vertising by March 15; 2, Withhold publication of the annual until that amount- of advertising has been sold; or, 3. Raise organization as- sessments. The first course, ob- viously, is the better of the three, and it is in that respect that stud- ents cooperation is being request- ed.

We sang first at West Point High School, eating lunch there also. Then bedlam broke loose.

Sticks And Stones...I would like to bother our readers for just a few seconds

with an editorial written in the definitely non-editorial firstperson.

A friend of mine now attending another college recentlymade a visit to Southwestern and told me that he had heardat his school that the editor of the Sou'wester was a Com-munist. Since it is customary nowadays for anyone who isthe least bit radical to be termed a Communist, I laughed itoff. Then, just the other day, I was informed that severalof the somewhat pinkish elements on this campus were talk-ing about "including me in." I would like to tell those elementshere and now that they can "include me out," and that,furthermore, when the time comes to expose them to thecontemptuous gaze of their fellow students I will do so.

If finding fault with the government is Communism,then I am a Communist. If trying to correct those faultswith whatever power exists in the press is Communism, thenI am a Communist. If the fact that the majority of my edi-torials contain criticism instead of commendation signifiesCommunism, then I am a Communist. Printing comments onthe satisfactory elements at Southwestern would demandsixteen page daily of nothing but editorials.

But unless Communism means merely those things Ihave enumerated, I will remain,

The Editor---------- -

Starve A FeverWe have been visited in the newspaper office this past

week by a constant stream of students voicing one unani-mous complaint; namely, that they have been refused per-mission by the guardians of the dining hall to carry traysof food to roommates and friends, who are too sick to leavethe dormitory but.who are not quite in such throes of fevereddelirium as to consent to be dragged to the infirmary ("Sor-ry, the doctor isn't in").

Such complainers we would chastise most harshly. Theyapparently do not realize the danger, as employees of thedining hall'have told us, that some of the eating utensilsmight not be returned. Certainly it must not be supposed thata person can be trusted merely because he is a student atSouthwestern and has taken a pledge to uphold the HonorSystem. 4nd happenings of that sort would obviously costthe dining hall a great financial loss. Woolworth prices havegone up just like all others.

It is not the dining hall's own ruling, anyway. The prac-tice was forbidden, says the dining hall, under coercion bythe infirmary. The idea here is apparent. If you are thepeculiar type of person who wants to eat even though sick, goto the hospital. Or, if you are so stubborn as to refuse totake your sore foot out there to be put into a bed next tosome luckless individual with the galloping flu, then youcan just go hungry. After all, just because you went brokepaying for your cake you don't need to suppose that you canalways eat it as well.

Why must there forever be people who complain?

For Nothing?A member of the Southwestern Administrative Staff

was heard by this writer to say, concerning a student on theG. I. Bill who had registered a mild disapproval of somecampus situation, "It is always the ones who are gettingsomething for nothing that gripe."

Not too long ago that student was shot at for a period ofthree years straight.

We do not feel that he is getting something for nothing.0 *

,Honor System ViolationsIt has recently come to the attention of the Honor

Council that students do not realize that certain phases ofcampus life come under jurisdiction of the Honor Systemand that violations of the honor pledge in these activitieswill be prosecuted by the Honor Council.

One of these activities includes the rules of the library.Students have been taking books out of the library withoutsigning for them, have been leaving the library with thereserve books before five o'clock, and have been taking booksout of the reference room. Every student is responsible forknowing the library rules, a copy of which may be obtainedfrom the librarian's office.

Hereafter, ignorance of the law will not be consideredan excuse, and violations of these and other rules will beprosecuted by the Council. Because of the severity of thepenalties invoked by the Honor Council, it is strongly advisedthat students familiarize themselves with these and otherrules that concern campus life.

IRENAISSANCE wont h at nowto. ** got o kkk ike m o

RENAISSANCEThe trees on the campus are in

the first throes of conception andsoon will show their pregnantbows to bluer skies than we haveseen for these past shiveringweeks. Spring is the constant mir-acle of rebirth, unexplained for

the most part, except that we cangive certain information about theequinox and certain about the lifeof the oak tree. Jonquils will beup among the pines along Park-way, and life will begin to colorthe azalias in the Memorial Gar-

den.But springs can last longer than

the few weeks it will take the

oaks to go through their travail

and give birth to the leaves. Therewas a spring in England that last-

ed for a hundred years and westill have its flowers pressed be-tween the pages of our literatures.

The voices of Shakespeare, Mar-lowe, Jonson bloom now with asclear a fragrance as ever they

gave the air'of Elizabeth's Eng-land.

We are much like that time in

many ways, This too is an age

of discovery and of waste. We cut

away our forests and burn our

coal and oil as though there were

enough for all the succeeding gen-

erations of time. But we have also

cracked the atom and in it only

begin to see the great potentiali-

ties. Furthermore we begin to see

"there are more things in heaven

and earth than we have dreamed

of in our philosophy." We begin

to look beyond the atom, and be-

yond the reach of our new two

hundred inch eye. We begin to

ask ourselves if there are not per-

haps things in the world which

cannot be measured by calipers

nor weighed on spring balances.The nineteen .thirties saw the

end of the era of the empiricalnaturalism in literature. It servedits purpose in a dismal and tryingtime, and like the cynical despairit grew from, it has died. Man,so to speak, had looked aroundhim and found nothing in whichhe could place his hope. Today heis looking into himself, and therefinds the image of God upon whichhe is built.

Stylus AnnouncesMagazine Plans.

Stylus, Southwestern's literaryorganization, requests that studentsturn in contributions for the club'sSpring publication, the Journal, toMrs. John Osman, assistant li-brarian, who has very graciouslyagreed to accept manuscripts atthe library desk.

oDon Walton

We would like to correct a statement which we made in thiscolumn near the beginning of the school year. We erroneously de-clared that Southwestern's "school spirit" seemed to be returning.We cannot now remember what blinded us so at the time, but theobvious lack of attendance at recent basketball games certainly provesthat the proverbial wool was pulled over our eyes. Notfifty studentsattended the game against N.A.T.T.C. last Thursday night, and therewas even less of the student body in attendance Saturday night whenthe Lynx trounced Birmingham-Southern. As to where the remainingseven hundred members of the institution were, we can only guess,It is a shame that they do not appreciate their own team's effortsenough to come out and give a little support. Even SABA seemsto have surrendered its cause, and cheerleaders are a thing of thepast.

About thirty football hopefuls may be seen.cavorting aroundFargason Field every afternoon as Spring football practice progressesinto its second week. Conditioning and the fundamentals of the gamehave been emphasized thus far, and the players have been accustomingthemselves to ball-handling and contact work in preparation for thelight scrimmages which will follow during the last three weeks of thefive week program. Several of last year's regulars have not put intheir appearance yet, as they are engaged in other athletic activitiesat this time. When basketball ends this weekend, however, the squadshould be increased slightly.

This Winter's harsh weather has limited cross-country work, butwith Spring just around the cornet, a dozen or more track and fieldenthusiasts may be seen stretching their legs and checking their windfor the forthcoming track season. Though such fine performers asFletcher Scott, Evin Perdue, and Freeman Marr will be greatly missed,the prospects for the coming year are far from being dismal. Sixteencandidates for the 1948 team are already listed, and they should bejoined by several others in the near future.

Frank Boswell, veteran star of the '46 and '47 teams, will returnto participate in the sprints, relays, and broad jump. He is capable ofdoing the 100 yard dash in under ten seconds and the 220 in less than23, and will doubtless be the backbone faor this year's mile relay team.Other sprinters of ability are George Bugbee, who ran the 100 andbroad jumped last Spring, and Bubba Bowden, a newcomer who fairedwell at CBC.

The team will be minus all of last year's middle distance men, butEldon Roark, Stanley Taylor, and Harold Barnett are all first yearmen who will be trying for positions. Roark had a fine record atMessick High and should prove invaluable to the relay team.

E. C. Ward, Millen Darnell, Charles Landrum, and Woody Morrisare training for the distance runs. Ward is a repeater for the mile, andwill be joined by Landrum and Morris, while Darnell is concentratingon the two-mile event.

Glenn Swingle is the lone candidate for the hurdle events, butBill Coley is expected to report at the close of the b'asketball season.Both came out late last Spring and showed a great deal of promisein the last couple of meets.

Bill Brazelton has returned to throw the javelin, Dickie Dickersonto throw the discus, and Cyril Pipkin has been joined by Alan Smithin the pole vault.
