LITRARY MAGAZINE NEEDED
ESTABLISHIVIENT of a literary magazine at Washington and

Lee, as suggested by a reader of the RING-TUM PHI in.
"- l3'tt(31‘ to the editor elsewhere in this issue, would fill a real

5.

need on the campus, we believe. Such a venture, undertaken
by men experienced in publication lines, and with a staff of
contributors who could be depended upon, would be a worth-
while addition to the three present publications, and could not

in the least be combated on the ground of adding to the exist?

ing over-organization of the student body. .
It would seem that there are enough men who desire to con-

tribute to such a magazine to make it well conceived, and, al-3

though for a while its issue would probably work hardships,
financial and otherwise, on the promoters, we believe that in
the end its existence would be justified. Students, faculty
members, residents of Lexington, and alumni would all be
invited to contribute under the proposed plan, and from this
source of material, worthy copy could doubtless be obtained.

The writer of the letter has proposed a sound proposition,
and one worthy of support. Whether or not the venture will
be launched will depend upon the support evidenced in the way
of contributions, and it is hoped that sufficient copy will be
submitted within the next three weeks to encourage the spon-
sors to such a degree as to enable them to put out an opening
issue early in 1928.

SENIORS, ATTENTION!

HAT are you going to do next year? How many Seniors

have definitely made up their minds. True it is, they
may have indicated their preference but are they going to
stick to it? How many, along about the first of May, will
reluctantly accept a position teaching in some small school?
Accept, we say, but only through kindness, for in reality they
will have no other choice. They will of necessity have to do
something.

Not only have we a definite profession or trade in view but
also have we taken any steps toward securing a position?
Taking reliable figures gleaned from the pages of a registrar’s
report in a college similar to Davidson, upon which we base our
assumption, we would predict a heavy swinging over toward
teaching during the spring months. This report to which we
are referring showed that the opening of the Senior year for
125 men 120 of them have chosen their “life work.” Twenty
per cent were planning to teach. On May 1st 44 per cent were
expecting to become teachers.

When comes the time for you to make your decision are you
going to be ready to start life’s work? Or will you be among
those who switch at the last moment and “accept” anything
that ofiers itself ?—(DAVIDSONIAN).

THE YOUNG MAN IN POLITICS

N A SPEECH announcing his retirement as chairman of the
Republican State Committee of Pennsylvania, Hon. Eric
Fisher Wood made a plea for greater participation in poltics by
young men. It is strange in this day that such a plea should
be necessary.

What is there in life beyond this daily duty of providing
for the welfare of the near family, that is more pressing and
more important to the young American than consideration of
pc7:i;Lc..*?

Politics is the science of government.
is the means through which intelligent American citizens per-
form their duties to their state andthe state is everything.

All that American citizens have in property, in protection
of life; in opportunity for education; in daily enjoyment of
maniford comforts and luxuries comes to them directly, or III‘:
directly, from the state.

We hold property, our lands, and our daily wages, because
the law protects us. Our homes are sacred because the law
erects a barrier of defense around them; our families are safe
because the law guards them; our children are trained because
the law gives them education. We enjoy the fruits of our labors,
subject only to a mild contribution to society, bcausc, under a
free government, maintained by a free people, no despot reaches
out to take away from us the products of our toil.

These benefits are priceless. To keep these benefits no.
sacrifice is too great. Yet all that society asks of any intelligentl
man or woman is earnest and conscientious participation in the
ordinary duties of citizenship.

Again we repeat it is strange that it is necessary for any
public man to make pleas for young men to perform this duty.

J. M. Meeks’ clothing store and
VVeinberg’s (l(‘}72l.1‘tl‘.1i-lit store are
conducting special sales startinj: this
week, preparatory to closing out
their establishments in their present
quarters to make room for the erec-
tion of a new building which will
house Lexington’s first five and ten

said. Both of these firms expect to
be out of their rooms by the middle
of January, and work on the new
building, which will be occupied by
a. New York syndicate, according to
reports, will start early in the
Spring.

Whether or not a local manager
will be named for the new store
is not definitely known, but it is a
certainty that Meeks, and probably
Weinberg, will open stores similar
to their present establishment else-

he thinks the press is and what he
thinks it ought to be.

“As a matter of fact there is no
universal right in the public to at-
tend upon or to be informed of all
trials or other proceedings in the
courts, and the rights of the press
are no other than those of the public
at large. ‘

“The general custom of public

As announced elsewhere in this
issue, Meeks’ store is putting their
entire stock on sale beginning this
morning, and their price-slashing
drive is slated to continue for ten
days. The proprietor stated this
morning that his entire stock of
goods, including nationally known
brands of suits, shoes, hats, shirts,
and other haberdashery, would be
disposed of at this sale. Most of
the stock consists of goods purchased
within the past few months for his
current trade, and includes a great
deal of new winter stock only re-
cently received. The notice of the’
plans of the owners of the property
came unheralded, it is said, and as
a. result caught the store with its
usual complete winter stock on hand.

Quite a number of students were
among the crowd that visited the
store this morning alinost immedi-
ately after the doors opened at 9
o’clock, aid from their reports it
appears that prices on all goods are
being quoted at an unusually low
price. One of the most noticablci
facts, it seems, is that practically
all the material being offered is of
standard brands, and is of the type
which has always been carried in
the regular stock of the store.

The store was closed Monday and
yesterday, preparatory to the sale,
and during these two days and
nights an extra force of clerks and
assistants was busy rearranging the
stock so as to make
easily accessible to the clerks and
patrons with a minimum of trouble.

Meeks has been in the clothing
business at his present stand for
twelve years, part of the time with
a partner and in more recent years
by himself. VVeinberg’s store has
been in the same room for about
thirty years, and for the time be-
ing at least, he will move his stock
to his music department quarters,
pending erection of the new struc-
ture on the site of the buildings to
be razed.

The London Times fellowship,7
under which an American reporter‘
COEWER SUN’ by Countee Cullen is to be invited to ‘England every‘

year to work on British newspapers,
and Brothers, Publishers, has been awarded to Henry C‘:
‘Haskell, son of H. J. Haskell of‘
The Kansas City Star.

New York.

Coi.iiitce Cullen certainly seems to
have caught the spirit of modern
vei‘se in his latest volume, “Copper
Suii”. The author, a negro, was
born in New York City in 1903, and

Young Haskell, who is 25 years;
old, has been a reporter on The
Baltimore Sun for the last year.‘

to 1”hi Beta Kappa, and Harvard,
where he took a Master of Arts

(l(,'g‘1‘L‘C. His poetic talent was first America in memory of Vvalter Hines‘

discovered when he wrote a poem as
an assignment at fourteen years of
age, and since that time his work»
has steadily improved. He is now
established as one of the vivid and
outstanding figures in the younger
group of modern poets.

In “Copper Sun”, Cullen gives the
public that which it wants——some-
different. We always think
oi’ negro poetry in terms of the
well—known and popular “spirituals”,
and are prone to believe that they
are the only expression of negro
emotion. In Cullen’s work, however,
we have this same quality presented
froni an entirely different viewpoint,
in combination with much else that
makes the verse infinitely ino1‘e valu-
able and more pleasing. We have
negro poetry by a negro of unusual
educational advantages and mental
ability, and we have modern poetry
by one who has caught the real
niodern spirit. There are a few dull
and rather deep and unfathomable
bits in the volume, but one can
easily overlook these rare pieces in
the real poetic quality and worth-
while modern thought in the rest
of the poems. At times there are
displayed flashes of genuine poetic
brilliance as in “The Wind Bloweth
Where It Listeth”, “Lines to Our
lilders” and “More Than a Fool’s
The author seems to have
