EDITORIALLY SPEAKING
No wthal the football season is over
Iguo.s.s we'll have to wait for the basket-
hall season to provide some excitement.
And 1 believe McMurry's basketball
games are almost if not entirely as ex-
citing as the football games. It is a
treat to be close enough to Mrs. Med to
watch her cheer the boys on to victory
--and I'm saying we won't do so bad
this year in spile of losing that famous
quartette - Anion Johnston Sloppy
Smith Francis Smith and .lint McKen-
We ought to have a whale of a team
net year anyway. That bunch of
six footers in the freshman class pro-
viding they are as good players as they
are tall will in a year or two carry the
McMurry colors to another conference
championship which we so decidedly
won last year in a season as thrilling
as anyone could wish for.
One or two comments on the A.C.C.
game (say I wouldn't lx bad as a siHirts
writer ehV)--l was delighted to see
some of the suicrdigiiificd administra-
tion hopping up and down in glee when
Sing ran that first touchdown. And
I'm glad to say that the terrible weather
didn't keep the McMurry students
away from the game (the most of them)
and neither did it keep that familiar
spirit from bubbling all over the field.
Vhat I mean the band and drum corps
showed off grandly in spite of the chill-
ing wind and wet grass.
Youse students are in for a nice
Christmas present liofore you leave
for the holidays that is if you've paid
your activity fee. The Galleon our
own magazine which conies out twice a
year will be off the press and ready for
distribution December 17. Miss Kditor
Dorothy Marshall to you has been woik-
ing really hard to put out a better mag-
azine than heretofore. I think she's
succeeded because all the stuff going in
it that I have read is really good. Ah
knows you'll Ink it.
Dean Hoswell: Tell me briefly what
the Monroe Doctrine is.
Slime Cook : Scram foreigners.
Here's some advice that might go
well right now:
Some men aiv Iwnn idiots and some
men never get a chance to be around a
pretty gal.
You should quit talking about your-
self awhile and see if anyone will bring
up the subject.
Even the best circles have their tri-
angles Iwcaitsu someone ain't square!
There's many a ioor fish who wakes
up to find he's lieon a sucker.
My wc soon won't know the ground
back of the ml building and if you had-
n't noticed go back and look it over.
You'll find Mr. Krausc the Inndscapc
artist willing to have you at nnytimo.
The IwyB working there report that
they arc getting a grand physique whnt
with all tlmt outdoor work. Maybe we'll
sport some Johnny Weismullers or Clyde
llenltys or even some jack Dompscys.
J. A. Mcltac says Hint he goes to bed
feeling like a used too much mop. But
he's building a muscle 1
Well it won't Ikj long now. The
Christmas holidays will be here before
wc know it and with them the New
Year. Dean Hoswcll says wc will have
until the second of January off hoo-
ray !
BALLYHOO
As the curtains fall on the grid sea-
son over the Nation thoughts come to
the mind of interesting procedures that
took place. The writer is reminded of
the coach who is lauded to the skies as
tin- miracle man before the big tussle
but is beaten when the battle is played.
The bands play the horns blow the
whistles shriek and there is "a hot time
in the old town tonight." The coach
who has been in the limelight is soon
looking straight into the pit of glaring
criticism because of too much ballyhoo
lie has touted his horn too loud and too
often or has had it touted for him. Isn't
this applicable to all types of people?
Too much praise isn't helpful but to the
contrary tends to weaken by encourag-
ing other people to expect more than
can sometimes be given.
As soon as a student has become too
prominent through ballyhoo other stu-
dents begin throwing stones to remove
him from his pinnacle. He has advertis-
ed himself Loo much through the use of
his own vocal cords.
Deing conservative by not trying to
advertise to the world that fame is in
your hip for keeps makes many a down-
fall easier and in most cases prevents
that downfall. Those students who are
wise enough not to sit on the fence top
and crow of their achievements are the
ones that will be riding the porch the
longest.
HUEY IS HOOEY
College students at Ixntisiana State
University showed their mettle and the
inherent democracy of youth when they
refused to be suppressed in their news-
paper the Reveille by Huey Long th)
Kingfish in Iouisiana. All over the
country no doubt other collegians
cheered and were jubilant because of
courageous stand these students adop-
ted against the censorship of the student
paper when an uncomplimentary editor-
ial was about to appear on Huey's dic-
tatorship. This was one time when the Kingfish
became a mere "fish" and one would
hesitate to name the variety. The rest
of the slates should be glad they are
not plagued with such a pest.
Hats off to .youth (who have ithe
courage to protest when a protest is
due! D. F.
Recovery And Reform
In a recent editorial the Saturday Eve-
ning Tost said: "Most sound business men
ami we are in hearty agreement with them in
this respect too do not believe that recov-
ery must precede reform. They know that
recovery and reform must go hand in hand.
Crooked practices cannot be condoned and
they have no symiKithy with them. But
they believe they must be corrected by law
and by law that will cure not kill .'..."
Any reform movement that is to honestly
benefit the public must protect the innocent
as well as punish the guilty. It is regret-
tably easy in seeking to drive out the crook-
ed practices of which the Post speaks to
hamstring legitimate endeavor at the same
timq to crucify the good business man as
well as the industrial racketeer. And when
that is done the nation inevitably feels the
adverse effects and recovery as well as real
reform receives a serious set-back. I
It is a fact that American business by
