It is with the deepest feeling of
regret that the student body learns
Out Coach Edmonson is leaving. No
man has ever so completely gained
the confidence and respect of the
student body in such a short time
os Mr. Edmonson has been here. His
work in developing this year’s track
squad has been nothing short of
marvelous and it is the opinion of
the student body that if he could re
main next year’s team would be un
beatable. Altho we are sorry to set
“Heck” leave wc are glad to see him
secure a somewhat better position
and under somewhat more favorable
conditions. Our best regards and
deepest friendship go with him. „

COLLEGE PUBLICITY
Vefy-truly a tree that falls in the
forest is never heard. This college
possesses qualities which would give
it a great boost in the minds of the
people of the state and of the whole
country as well if they were suffici-
dhtly noised abroad. .• We are back
in the tall timber alright, but even as
it is, this College gets a pitiful
amount of publicity. Nearly every
other College of size end reputation
in the state is located in some fairly
good sized tewn. All the papem
give their pet school a hand up ‘he
ladder at every opportunity. The

The corps seems to have forgotten
how to express themselves in a de
cent manner. The customary way
now is Just to turn themselves loose
and yell at the top of its lungs if
anything is pleasing. The fair sex
even is not excepted, but is especially
bestet. There is aslo the tendency
to just give way to any restraint
whatever and say anything that pops
into the mind. No doubt the welcome
given some of the performances of
aspiring female entertainers is quite tsM
flattering, but anyone .who is not fa^|gm
miliar with conditions, would at o
say that we are the most uM
bunch he ever saw. This is amt

inconspicious place in the whole pa

comes out so seldom that A. and M.
men jump upon them with veracious
haste and frame them. Every time
we get crossed with an outside school,
a paper of large rircluntion takes up
the hatchet against us and proceeds
to make our reputation throughout
the state a minus quanity. We al
ways console ourselves with the high
