EDITORIALAs the Amplifier goes to press, there are certain indications that this

school year is going to be one of our better ones. In the few short weekssince registration (1) the new coffee shop has been opened, (2) a newinsurance program has been initiated, (3) work has been started on theMagma, (4) a dorm committee has been formed, (5) our athletic depart-ment has been rejuvenated, (6) the first printed edition of the Amplifierhas been published, and (7) student morale is at an all-time high. Onlyone thing is missing, the hollow-eyed prophets who used to' warn thatthe Mines would be all washed up in a matter of weeks, months, or yearsas the case might be. As things stand now, it looks like the prophetsare washed up and that old M.S.M. will be going strong until the hillcaves in.

Now for the commercial. Although things are looking up, there stillis much left to do, and it's everybody's job to keep things moving in theright direction. Support your school and your team. Take an activepart in the school organizations. If you don't have time to do 'anythingbut study, at least take an interest in the school activities: talk to people,read the paper, attend the convocations. If we do something, let's doit in a big way any bunch of slobs can be mediocre! And inthe meantime, look out for prophets.

Some Pros andCons OnSchool Spirit

- The MississippianSometimes it's awful hard to find

out just what the students thinkabout certain things. About theonly way to really find out is bytalking with the students and get-ting their ideas.The status of school spirit on any-

body's campus has been a subjectof perennial controversy for whoknows how many years. You canalways find someone who will offervoluntary comments, and generallythey are at such a variance that youhardly know where you stand whenyou try to reach a summation .. Itis almost futile ambition to arriveat an inclusive answer.

A great number of students feelthat school spirit has never beenworse. They say that the Ole Missof old has disappeared forever.Generally, they believe, things arein a heck of a mess.Then other students say that the

school spirit is fine, everything isjust wonderful. What do you ex-pect, they say.

Individual student problems takea variety of forms. Among themwe can list-they don't sell beer inOxford; not enough pep rallies, toomany pep rallies; nobody stays. o~campus for the weekend; the gir lsrules are just not right.And, there are too many parties,

not enough parties; the cheerleadersden-t have enough yells; the atmos-phere is just not good; too muchtrouble to get anything done, andon and on.

So how can you really determineexactly what the students thinkabout school spirit. It becomes ap-parent that they don't think anyonething very definite one way or theother. So, we still are faced withthe problem of what is wrong, if,in fact, anything is at all.

For what we read and hear fromother college campuses all over thecountry, the whole business ofschool spirit is a thing of annualchatter.We must concede that the stu-

dents' spirit at Ole Miss is aboutthe same as any other school. Attimes it is superb and at other timesit is the' very worst. Weare cer-tainly not alone in this problem, ascompared to. other schools.

Somehow, school spirit is alwaysconnected to sports endeavor andalmost always is synonymous withthe football team. Why is this so?Why doesn't someone don a pair ofBermuda shorts and lead a few yellsin the circle for philosophy, orjournalism, or some other depart-ment. Maybe they could use alittle spirit.To be quite frank, we don't think

the school spirit is very bad. Itprobably runs about the same as italways has. Weare just an aver-age group of people with an aver-age amount of spirit. "When thereis something to be low about, weare low. When there is somethingto be hepped up about, we are hep-ped up.". But all along we will find thosestudents who really worry about thesituation and we will find those whojust don't care at all.
