Subject: Overriding new?

Hi everybody,

	given the following situation:

class Parent

  def initialize
    print "magic\n"
  end

end

class Child < Parent

  def initialize
    print "more magic\n"
  end

end

child = Child.new

is there a way in which i can get "magic" and "more magic" as the
output, without having to add super to the child class's constructor? I
was thinking about overriding the class method "new" but i really didn't
get anything to work up to now. 

Any suggestions? Thanks in advance!
