Subject: Setting Class Variables with Class Method

Hey guys,
I was wondering how to set class variables using a class method, for
example:

 class Foo
   @@this_works = 'hello'
   @@this_does_not = self.goodbye

   def self.goodbye
     return 'goodbye'
   end
 end

Is there an equivalent to initialize but for loading class variables? I
was able to get something above to work by adding a method:

  def self.this_does_not=()
    @@this_does_not = var
  end

and than calling:

  Foo.this_does_not = Foo.goodbye

but this would force me to use public methods and in terms of
organization, I like to define class methods at the top.
