Mr. Faulkner has proven by what he" has done with the Collegiate since that time that the step was a good one. Appreciating an old feeling that has existed for years on the campus, it will be the policy of the present administration of the paper, to keep a non-i'rat man responsible for all articles in the paper, as long as it was possible to do so.^ A football player is not elected to the team. The men on the football team get there because they can play footbalF An idea prevails that an old custom of electing students to run the paper should continue. Your better judgment will tell yon fc&a! this would be disastrous to a football team, your same reasoning will apply to the paper. A baby does not have the strength of a man. Any organization in its infancy is the same. Last year the paper should be thought of as an acorn; this year as a big oak tree. "Let the dead bury their -dead," and let the past be past. Forgiveness for past sins of ommissions or commissions, plus an appreciation of what the Collegiate has done, and is doing, should be the unanimous voice of cooperation given your college paper.

Jake Edmunds, popular junior, was elected to the coveted place of editor-in-chief. Most persons consider this an honor but those who have held the position say there is much more work than honor connected with the job. Coming as a complete surprise was the election of Tom Lally as business manager. In the meeting one of the Sigma Nu boys introduced Mr. Lally as one of the new members of that frat who was capable of handling the position. In this introduction it was stated he was from the University ol of Michigan where'he held the posi tion of assistant, business manager of the school annual last year. He has had considerable experience in new3 paper work both in colleges and on dailies. Mr. Lally is a new man on the campus and his election is said to be an indication of what he is thought. "to be. His many friends are congratulating him on his victory. Upon the nomination of Jake Ed- munds, editor-in-chief, Miss Hillis Carmean was unanimously voted associate editor. Mr. he feels that in her he will have valuable co-worker. Members of the junior class feel that with these two good workers at the head of the annual a good book is promised this year. f'robably one of the most importanl fields after the three hamed above is athletic. Charles Tribble will act as the athletic editor of the annual. Mr. Tribble is an athlete and will be in close touch with all of the activities in this line. Miss Gertrude Okell, junior lawyer, will act as society editor of the Oshihiyi while Malcolm Dykes will handle the jokes. Miss Caywood is the kodak editor and John Pixley is the literary editor. Art work will be handled under the direction of Hazel Overstreet. More Altos Needed in Glee Club—50 Are Turned Down Girl d Boys' ..... a (P THAT BIGGER AND BETTER PLAN Last week this column took the stand that the Collegiate was largely responsible for the increase in the number of new faces at Stetson University this fall. This statement, is backed up by the testimony of the persons who are here. The paper has come to life and took part in an active campaign to make a "Bigger and Better Stetson." That has been the aim of the paper and still is. On the other hand it would have been almost impossible for the paper to be a success; bring many more persons here; without the aid of the student body and faculty. Soon after the end of the Christmas holidays last year the Collegiate was sent to high schoof seniors all over the state. Since it went to them free, they could not help but notice it. Their eye was caught. Stetson was talked of more than ever before. Perhaps, or rather undoubtedly, the old men and girls remember "Pledge Day" at. Stetson. At this time the student body made one grand effort to raise money to pay for sending the Collegiate to all high school seniors. The result was a success; the Collegiate congratulates the students on the way they supported the suggestion. Now, the questionis can this be done again, only on a larger scale? Can the student body get behind a similar movement?
