CLASS ISSUES.
Class issues of the Battalion have
in past years proven featunis
in that they are a little out of onii
nary. They usually represent the
highest literary ability which the
class holds within its membership.
Besides beinfr a first class editioa with
respect to news items it serves as a
medium within which all talent may
be brought to light and again many |selves from | > pondering where o4r

such an affair as a Soph-Fresh melee
draws out the State Press to such an
extent, it seems that there are far
too few publications on the face of
the earth to give the proper notor
iety to senatorial and other legis

assistants in formulating plans and
ideas for an issue which has never
been equaled. It is our desire to see
this reach a climax for special edi-
, tions this year with full regards to
material, pictures, etchings, etc. The
sooner this receives action in class
meeting the better position the man
in charge will be put in because to be
successful in every* respect requires
•a good deal of hard work and think
ing. The class should be interested
enough to lend a personal help es
pecially upon request. Make them
more than an iasue of the Battalion,
but a class record as well. The
probable order in which they will
come nre Junior. Sophomore and
Freshman, which gives the latter a
bit of favor as they are able to profit
by mistakes of others. They will mM
be consecutive issues but instead will
be separated by one week each edi
tion. The athletic department will
publish the first- of the series prob
ably in the near future and the Junior
edition the latter part of this month
or the first of next. Get together

Speaking of State, their recent

a necessary climax. We admire the
