EDITORIAL.
Greetings.
To everybody greetings and
best wishes for a happy nine
months' stay here at Southwes-
tern. Most of you we've met
and those we haven't we want to,
so let's all consider ourselves ac-
quainted and get our smiles into
working order so that the long as-
sociation together here in the Uni-
versity, which we have just begun
this week, may be as pleasant as
possible. Don't, forget to tell us
what you like, hint at what you
don't care for, and help us gener-
ally for we want to make The
Megaphone your paper and a
sheet for which you will eagerly
look week after week. The Meg-
aphone is yours, mine and the
other fellow's, so let's all shake
hands and make it worthy of us.
The staff's intensely interested
and we're going to do our best.
You're in with us, aren't you?
Anyhow, as J. Caesar said,
"The die is cast," or was it Jul-
ius who said, "We're off"?
The First Texas College Daily.
The first issue of the Daily
Texan, published by the students
of the University of Texts, is a
most creditable effort and one
which the entire student body of
.Tttxas colleges and universities
should be glad to praise, for it
marks a most prgressive step in
Texas collegiate journalism and
one that puts our own State in
the ranks of those which support
daily publications. Editor Ralph
B. Feagin and Business Manager
Jerry S. Fowler are indeed due
congratulations and The Mega-
phone extends such most heartily.
If the other fellow's joke isn't
very good, laugh anyhow. It will
make you feel better and maybe
help you to think of a joke that 's
funny.
Georgetown's Great Department Store bids you welcome to our city
and we sincerely hope that your residence with us will prove both educational and
pleasant to you. At any time that you are in need of anything in high grade mer-
chandise you will find it in our stocks with a corps of salespeople who will give
you the most courteous treatment and unexcelled service.
We are here to serve you and hope to see you in our new quarters.
We have a complete line of S. U. Stationery. Kahn Tailoring Co.,
of Indianapolis, fine tailoring for young men who care. Come in
and let us show you through.

Let's Stand Together.
The Megaphne numbers the
best stores in town among its ad-
vertisers, and it is only through
their patronage that The Mega-
phone can exist. The merchants
rightly expect some return for
their expenditures, and it rests
with yon whether they get it or
not. They are loyal to your in-
terests, so show your loyalty to
them. The Megaphone is your
publication and it is up to you to
see that it succeeds. Don't let it
be said by any merchant of the
1913-'14 student body, "I don't
have to advertise with you. I get
the student trade anyway." Be
loyal to your college by making
your first act one of loyalty to
your paper. Remember and ad-
here to the following: "Resolv-
ed, That I will not trade with any
store that doesn't advertise in
The Megaphne."

With the opening of the 1913-
1!)14 session a good many changes
will be noticed at Southwestern.
Among the most important, of
these will be the establishment of
athletics on a sound, permanent
and separate basis in the Fitting
School. This department of the
University will have, from now
on, its own separate teams, its
own distinct schedules and an
athletic director for itself. Mr.
L. E. White, a Tulane man who
holds a high record from that
University both in academic and
athletic circles, will teach math-
ematics in the University and fill
the position of Athletic Director
in the Fitting School. Mr. AVhite
will be assisted by Mr. McMillan
in the work and special attention
will be given to the developing
of Fitting School athletics.
A call will be issued immediate-
ly for all football candidates to
report for duty and it is expect-
ed that most every man, little and
big, will come out. These will be
given new suits and all necessary
equipment. After football sea-
son candid."-*''" for basketball,
track and tennis will be called
out and then baseball will fol-
low. The prospects for these va-
rious teams are promising and
the Fitting School should appre-
ciate the efforts of its Principal
in so forwarding their interests.
Some days ago letters were
sent, out to the following schools,
Waco High School, Terrell
School, St. Edwards College, San
Antonio High School, Marshall
Training School, and Jacksonville
Training School, requesting that
games be scheduled with the Fit-
ting School team, some to be play-
ed -here and some in other places.
In other words, every effort will
be made to have as attractive a
schedule for the "Preps." as for
the "Varsity."
In the very near future the stu-
dent body of the Preparatory De-
partment will call a meeting at
which they will organize an Ath-
letic Association and elect a pres-
ident and other officers. After
this has been done, several capa-
ble men will be nominated for the
various managers and assistant
managers of the different teams
and on some set day an election
will take place at which, by popu-
lar vote, these offices will be fill-
ed. It is expected that the Fit-
ting School students will show a
great deal of interest in this new
phase of their education.
The interests of the young wo-
men of the Fitting School will al-
so be looked after and special at-
tention will be given to any sport
in which they evince an interest.

ing last year and you were satis-
