We beg to introduce "Southwestern”
to the students, who will come to know
it better with each new issue of The
Megaphone. In this column we pro-
pose to discuss briefly events of local
interest, giving ou own personal views
on different issues as they arise. In
case it should be thought that this col-
umn is anonymous, it might tie well to
state in the beginning that it is writ-
ten exclusively by the editor, who as-
sumes responsibility for everything
which appears.
This is not a "kick” column. We may
criticize but we will neevr kick. We
will never bo caustically intolerant. Too
many papers in the past have been in-
clined to destructive criticism. Here,
if constructive opinion cannot be regis-
ter'd,1 we will remain silent* We want
to boost Southwestern. We want to
give its institutions and its ideals the

According in the official report at the i
end of the gi -t week of school the total
enrollment in the college for the fall
term was IT*. Of this number this are
men and -II women. There is a total
of li*7 new students and 222 old
sibly never before were the men and
women so evenly divided.
Although t ho total enrollment

at the same time last year, the B
trar and the Dean both state that
scholastic standing of the new stud
is much higher at this time than ii

tions of students applying for entrance.
The opening week has been replete
with official and social functions usually
incident to the beginning of a new
year. Tuesday was registration day
for the old students, and on the foluw-
ing day the freshmen were successfully
steered through the rigors of matniu-
.lation. On Tuesday evening the men
and women students met in separate
groups for the purpose of hearing in for

to cooperate with both the authorities
and the students. If we attain that
end, we will be astisfied. In this brief
statement, is found the policy of The
Megaphone for tlie year 1927-118.
New faces are among us and old ones
are missing. Southwestern moves on as
it has ever moved in the past and will
so continue in the future. New leaders
will be found to take the place of those
who have left and will leave their own
marks on the college just as others have.
They wilk come and go and the light,
gleams brighter as the years pass.
The University auditorium was the
scene Wednesday evening of the formal
opening, at which time the officials of
the college, the counsellors and repre-
sentatives of the various classes, the
pastors of the city and others delivered
short addresses of welcome to the old
and new students. President Sam
Banns was in charge, and a goodly
number of students turned out to see
the year started off with enthusiasm.
Social functions and entertainments
during the week were not lacking. 'The
annual Y. M. Y. W. Garden Party was
staged Thursday night on the lawn in

it means that their records here are go-

The year has started in the right way,
we think. Let’s all get together and
hake this the best year in Southwes-
tern’s history. One thing wo would like
to urge is that all students be demo-
cratic toward eacl> other. There lias
been too much tendency in the past to-
ward a kind of group and class con-
sciousness. This tendency lias been felt
in any number of directions, but has
been mostly evident in social life and
in politics. In our opinion it would be
best for the school to rid ourselves of
the influences which have caused these
conditions. To this end The Megaphone
will strive during tho coming year.

Brief speeches were made to the stn

All of these men were given great ova-
