Following is the contribution:
“Has the Student Welfare Council
Committed a Coup D’Etat?
“The Students Welfare Council came
into existence under a written consti-
tution drawn up and approved by the
student body of this institution and the
President of the school in 1920-21. That
constitution provides in Art. V., Sec.
2a: ‘One representative from each of
the three upper classes and one repre-
sentative at large to be elected the sec-
ond Wednesday in May for a term of
one year. The other three representa-
tives from the upper classes and the
other representative at large are to be
elected THE SECOND WEDNESDAY
IN JANUARY for one year.’
“From that provision of the consti-
tution it is evident that four members
of the present council terms had ex-
pired on January 10, and the constitu-
tion had specifically specified that four
members should be elected on that day.
But that day came and went without a
miu'rmer from the Council of an election.
“The only agency provided in the
constitution for calling, announcing,
and arranging an election is the Coun-
cil itself.

TION ?”

LEST WE FORGET
Good sportsmen are made not born.
Sportsmanship is something which must
be acquired. Many an official, in the
early days of competitive sports, had
to be rescued from the angry specta-
; the “Fantasies” the author attempts to
* reflect in the magic mirror of art the
J vanishing traits, some lovable, s
ludicrous, of New England.
Percy MacKaye calls himself a poet-
and dramatist, but he i_s more; for he
has won fame as a poetic and dramatic
critic as well. Like Sandburg, Frost,
Noyes, and others, he is a lecturer of
wide repute. From 1906 to 1913 he
lectured on the theatre at Harvard,
Vale, Columbia, and other universi-
ties, and on “The Worker in Poetry”
to the National Academy and Insti-
tute, in New York.
Among his representative works we
find a large number of lyrics, embod-
ied in a collection entitled “The Sis-
tine Eve and Other Poems”. Among
such occasional poems as
tors by the players themselves. How-
ever, the crowds have speedily become j jjlle

THE SENIOR t
WILLYE CAVER, B. S.
Willye is another of those many stu-
dents that hail from East Texas. _ She
received her early educational training
in the public schools of Rusk, later at-
tending and graduating from Rusk
Junior College. ' That she next took a
wise step, was evident when she feast
her lot with the large group of girls
.who is taking advantage of the train-
ing of vocational economics given by
our own S. W. T. N. C. as provided
for by the Smith-Hughes Act.
Willye has been a very popular stu-
dent among us here for the past year,
having done another year’s work here
in the summers of T9, ’20 and ’21. She
spent the summer of 1922 at the Uni-
versity of Colorado, doing special work
there in Home Economics. In the
meantime, that is, during the public
school year, she has been head of the
department of home economics in the
Kyle High School, popularizing and
bringing to the top of her line of work
in that school. That she made good
is proven by the length of her tenure
of office, and the goodly number of af-
filiated credits that were added to the
curriculum of the school as the fruits
of her efforts.
Besides being one of the popular stu-
dent-promoters of the domestic arts of
the college, Willye has other important
functions to perform as well. She _ is
vice-president of the Home Economics
club, and secretary-treasurer of the
Senior class. We all believe in her
ability to handle the cash of the class
in the most economical way possible.
We regret to lose Miss Caver from
our ranks for next year. We send with
her our best wishes in whatever place
she may be located. We feel sure that
by this time next year she will have
made good on the faculty of some not-
able school system.

A CONTRIBUTION
The following has come to the edi-
tor’s desk during the course of the
week. Without desiring to endorse
what has been said or further com-
menting on the suggestion offered we
wish you would think about these ques-
tions after you have pondered over the
contribution mentioned. “Is the pre-
sent mode of election of the Student
Welfare Council the most expedient for
a school of this kind? If not, what
changes can be made ? When should the
■members of the Council be chosen if
in the song which springs to their
lips, they seek expression elsewhere,
and become the poets of science, of law,
or of industry.” Poets of old were
brought to the people through the voice
of the minstrels; and we see a partial
renascence, at least, of these condi-
tions—a turning to the drama. This
offers him an actual vocation. “The
Poet’s ideal”, he says, “is the child
ideal. Like a child, he demands an
opportunity to work, that is, to play—
yet in no immature sense. For the
perfecting of play, the poet brings the
ripest powers of his will and imagin-
ation, and in conserration to play he
puts aside all merely inconstructive
pleasure, happy
“To sporn delights and live labor-
ious days”.
Like eevry other outstanding charac-
ter, MacKaye has his adverse critics;
but many articles have been written
m his praise. Current Literature says
of h:m that his aims are high, and he
often fails to achieve his ambition; yet
the effort in itself is laudable and an
encouraging omen. And he always in-
spires hope; his purpose is fine, his
