To the Plainsman spirit of those Mothers and Fathers who have worked, sacrificed, and prayed, that their sons and daughters might have a Christian education, this hook is dedicated.

LOli HOPiD i-cL-to -1 -Cl iJ- ujflLTiP. van shivip. £w. yMjn. . TH IS FALL At last, for better or for worse, the first edition of the Plainsman makes its appearance. It is yours — the epic of this semester ' s joys and tragedies in college life. Do with it what you will. An acknowledgment of the sincerest kind goes to last year ' s editor. Ruth Butcher, for her help and sugges- tions. Thanks, Butch! Have you ever sat in a quiet room on a late afternoon, just listening? Try it in White Building sometime. The Plainsman office is an ideal lo- cation for just this. From the Wes- Icyan office comes the steady rattle of a typewriter being pushed to meet the deadline. The hammering of the stage crew in the auditorium dully emphasizes Pop Bennett ' s booming instructions to his chorines on the floor below. In the debate room some orator is convincing imaginary multi- tudes. And down the walk from the Library comes the clip-clip of high heels, in double time to heavier steps. And while listening, take time to make yourself realize that this is your college, your four years. Just what is it meaning to you? Part of the romance w ? hich is ex- pressed in the words Yale, Har- vard, Princeton, is the love of a man for the activities in which he has carried forward the colors of his school. A commendable character- istic of these three great universities is the arduous search of these men for potential collegians. When a great Princeton back sees a fine high school football man, he thinks only one thing — I ' d like to see that boy in Princeton colors, carrying on. And to that end he contacts the youth. and cinches him for Princeton, before his old rivals, Yale and Harvard, claim the prize. When the boy gradu- ates from Princeton, he perpetuates that tradition. He does not drop the colors — he finds a man who will take his place, who will carry on. Leafing through the Sunday paper, I was amused by Madge Evans ' loyal defense of Youth. Glancing down the columns, my eye caught the phrases, Look at college elections, as compared to national ones. At college, they may argue as to a can- didate ' s fitness for office, but they don ' t indulge in personalities. He ' s elected on his merits, because he ' ll make a good officer, and for no other reason. Whither wentest thou to college, Madge? Most of us here agree that politics exist wherever there is cause for human competition. But I ' m afraid that the campus brand isn ' t all so rosy as Miss Evans would have you think. Take Wesleyan, for example. We have politics, and as most of us admit, not such clean politics, either. But the majority of us shrug our shoulders and say, You jusl can ' t get away from politics! Xo, I don ' t believe we can. But is there any reason why they can ' t be dragged in the open and aired off a bit? Nine cases out of ten would profit by a little exercise with a duster. It ' s merely a suggestion, but I ' ve heard many a collegian say that open politics in elections, with candi- dates from various organizations placed before the public by cam- paigns and speeches, would not only be cleaner, but would be more fun. 117 (7 about open politics for our Wesleyan campus? Say, boys, weren ' t you proud of your student body on that certain Saturday in November? Not only did Wesleyan appear to be a gracious hostess, with uniformed ushers for the convenience of the guests, but she showed true spirit by standing behind the team long after the last whistle had blown. And don ' t think the student body wasn ' t proud of their fighting team ! Now we have the basketball season ahead of us. As Ptac said the next day, We ' ve got to retaliate by beating Hastings in basketball. Go to it. The band, cheer leaders, pep club, and student body will stand back of you. Give it all you ' ve got. Fight the good fight, and at the end of the season we ' ll say: We were good losers in foot- ball; we are good winners in basket- ball.
