TIIE GA IINET Front H0112 Sutcliffe, Dias, Kenseth iffililor 1, Kennedy. Scoulfas. lim-I: Razr: UuXYors, l ishman. Heed. The history of the Garnet would show a tendency reflected in any art form, college. or social institution of today. For years the literary magazine has swung a pendulum between literary expression for its own sake and divers attempts to make articulate ideas prevailing among the undergraduate group. Always. with the continual change in the college population. there has been a constant. re- definition of purpose. methods. and ends in view. This year has been no exception. lvuder the editorship of Arnold Kenseth the magazine has changed both in form and emphasis. The field of controversial ideas has been accented in the belief that a Garnet staff can. if it will. fulfill a serious and healthy function by translating its thinking into creative editorial opinion. Bands in Flzapel in the January issue suggests the possibilities of such thought-provoking commentary. Here the purpose is not. tolerance: here is no middle course . . . no balanced point of view to please both sides. The 1937 Garnet has taken a stand to approximate truth and will apologize to no group for its positive support of the intellectual life. In our particular search for the value underlying the liberal arts eciucation, we have naturally invited the mature interpretation of faculty writers. Thought- ful readers will t.urn again to essays by Professors Angelo Bertocci. George Vhase, and Rayborn Zerby. Student writing. ever of doubtful quantity and quality. has been unusually prolific. While the exodus of the seniors. Dias, Scoulfas, Bliss Isaacson, and Sutcliffe takes from Bates writers talented in sonnet, essay, and scholarly prose, there is a promise of equal maturity. beauty. and youthful wisdom in under-classmen-Dorothy Kennedy.

An increase in spot news and several special issues have heen among the high points of achievement during the year. An early edition November 4th gave news of Roosevelt's landslide into a second term as President. A colorful Varnival Issue included two front-page accounts of night-before happenings: tl1e crowning of the queen a11d the victory of the freshman haskethall team in Houlton. Vampus election results furnished material for another early morning Sfzldeni. In the field of opinion the Student found and reported that Bates men and women favored Landon over Roosevelt hy a 3-1 ratio. and opposed the Presidents Supreme Court plan 5-Q. In addition to such spectacular achievements. there were many noteworthy changes in policy. Interviews with and about professors were introduced under the title of 1Ieet llr. fDr.. Prof. or llissl So-and-So. Feature stories were given a regular place in the paper: more pictures appeared: and women's activities were more prominently considered than previously. lliscellaneous briefs-weekly calendar. chapel quotes. alumni news. and cluhs- are now included in one regular column.
