The Sophomores were under the tutelage of Cy Twombly and the freshmen under Mr. Mathis. Both coaches were highly satisfied with the outcome of the meet and plan to continue it as an annual affair. The men who competed had trained for a month under the direction of the coaches during their regular gymnasium hour and all appeared to be in excellent shape. The winner of each event was a- warded a Doremus Gymnasium me- dal as were the winners in the intra- mural boxing and wrestling tourna- ments. The meet was run off in all re- soects as much like a regular col- lege meet as possible. The only e- vent omitted was the two-mile run as both coaches agreed it would be too much of a strain upon inexper- ' ienced men after a month of train- ing.

In spite of the rain, the balloting was the heaviest on record, a total of 788 votes being cast, nine more than in any pre- vious year. The “politicking” season was slightly interrupted by the mock con- vention Monday and Tuesday. Poli- tical cards began to blossom in earn- est, however, early Wednesday morn- ing and the customary campaign cigars, treats and speeches at frat- ernity houses and eating places in- jected whirlwind activity into the race. The late start of the cam- paign made the close all the more furious. With rumors of fraternities allied in cliques and “sewed up” for one side or the other, the chief activity in the campaign was centered in the dormitories in an effort to swing the independent element. Swarrns of politicians with their friends and backers kept dorm dwellers in a tut- moil until late at night. The annual political rally was held Thursday night at 9 o’clock in Dore- mus gymnasium, with E. H.

All matters of business should be addrsssed to the Business Manager. All other matters should come to the Editor-in-Chief. We are always glad to publish any communications that may be handed to us, but no unsigned correspondence will be published. SUPPORT THE CHOSEN ASHINGTON AND LEE has spoken. Those men who are to direct student activities in executive, publication, and "social lines have been named, and will begin the intensified study of their particular fields immediately under the present leaders in order to better fit themselves to “carry on” during 1928-29. The election campaigns are over. The men who were for- tunate enough to run unopposed received large complimentary votes from their fellow students, and have a right to feel that the men on the campus again evinced that faith in their abili- ties which had been shown before when they were allowed to go Without opposition. The men elected after ten days of competition for the favor of the majority of students, whether named by large majorities or small, believe, and should believe, that the entire Student Body is behind them in their efforts to do the work which they asked permission to attempt. Those who voted for candidates now in the list of “also-rans” would have preferred to see their unfortunate favorites win, either because of personal feling or because of a feeling that they possessed better qualifications, but we believe we are expressing the sentiment and spirit of Washington and Lee in saying that the campaign and its oc- casional bitternesses have already been practically forgotten, and that every man here will join his mates in backing the win- ning candidates to a successful discharge of their newly-bestow- ed duties. ‘ Washington and Lee has the reputation of having the best student government, the most enjoyable dances, and publica- tions of a quality which will compare favorably with any in the South. The men chosen yesterday are without exception fitted for the jobs they secured, but the best qualified man in the business would be unable to achieve the best results from his endeavors if he did not have the co—operation—-not expressed in words merely, but in helpful action— of his entire constituency, whether they were favorable to his pre-election candidacy or not. Get behind the men who were chosen by the free vote of the Student Body electorate. Forget the petty jealousies created and questionable rumors circulated regarding their alleged means of acquiring votes. They need your support to uphold the reputation of the activities they will manage, and you owe it to yourself to aid them in making a success of their undertak- ings. n ELECTORATE TO BE CONGRATULATED AVORABLE 502, unfavorable 217,” was the registration of feeling upon the part of the students on the blanket tax as pro- posed by the Executive Committee and Publication Board. The Student Body will never regret its vote on this question, we feel certain, and as future years prove the wisdom of their choice, that feeling is bound to increase. The local electorate is to be congratulated upon the con- sideration and support given the matter. For several years such a tax has been considered by these two bodies, and notwith- standing annual changes in personnel, the reaction within the committee and board has always been favorable. The question was not put to the Student Body before this year, since the leaders wished to be certain of their ground, but, when it be- came apparent that the proposal was sound, their opinion was vindicated by the electorate at large. The fight is not over yet, however. In previous years one thing that kept the proposal from being reported out of the joint committees was the feeling that the Board of Trustees, which must give its official sanction to the collection of the fee through the treasurer’s office at the time of registration, would veto the measure. This year, however, it was felt that, if the Student Body would express itself in favor of the assessment , by casting an overwhelming vote in its favor, the administrative body of the University would realize the wisdom of the proposal and the student sentiment in its favor, and would approve it. The result is yet to be seen. We hope the board will sanc- tion it. Favorable action would mark a great step forward, and would put the activities included in the tax upon a footing which would allow them to operate without a gamble. n u COOLIDGE REFUSES INTERVIEW - RESIDENT Coolidge does not choose to discuss the Nicara- ihguan situation with college students. That is what a commit- tee of four students, representing a larger committee of thirty from the most prominent colleges of the country, discovered when they went to the White House on April 16, armed with ly, indeed. They ought to know better than that. With the senators the students had better luck. Eighteen of them were interviewed by the delegation. Most of them were fatalists when it came to talking about Nicaragua. hand in Nicaragua; we can’t turn back,” they said. The thirty students were from twenty-one universities and colleges, including Harvard, Yale, Princeton, Amherst, Union Theological Seminary, Vanderbilt and Boston University. “We’ve our Hours Among The Latest Books “A Story in Jazz” is what James Farrell, the author of “The Girl Everybordy Knew”, calls his fantas- tic creation, and this appelation per- haps describes the book better than any other. It is undeniable that jazz has a definite place in our mod- ern system of amusement, and, like jazz, such as this book perhaps has a place in its own sphere, but it can no Inore be called literature, or even valuable reading matter, than jazz can be called clas- sical Both ’ of them amuse without contributing anything be- yond, and the danger is in the pos- sibility that in the modern craze for amusement we will turn to jazz music and jazz stories to the exclu- sion of the deeper and Inore subtle values to be found in the classics. The story, in true jazz style, lacks continuity. In general it is about Ruby Burke, who begins by marry- ing a corporal of marines. The cor- poral is ordered to China, and is promptly dismissed from the story as a bad job, not to reappear. Ruby then strikes out and after many and varied experiences at home and abroad as assistant to “Belter the Great”, a magician, finally meets Murray Jones, formerly call boy at the Thalia theatre, then a Cam- bridge student. The two of them “do” Europe in a hilnerto unheard of style, and are finally separated only to meet again on the roof of a hotel in Chicago, Murray having achieved a success in the advertis- ing game. There they are finally married. The influence of Ben Hecht is to be seen in every word that Mr. Far- rell writes. His style is somewhat amusing for a while but after a few chapters one tires of the rather in- ane humor, and the rest of the story is more or less boring. The plot is absolutely senseless; in fact the book can hardly be said to have a plot, and the stuff which is meant to pass for humor is merely a loose string of weakly facetious “cracks.” The characters are wildly exagger- ated in supposed jazz style, but that does not make them any more in- teresting; in fact it has quite the opposite effect. It is rather discouraging to see such literature continuing to come out. It is certainly to be hoped that sometime in the future there will be a decadence of the “Jazz Age” in literature, and that style of writing which possesses genuine merit will at last come into its own.—R.H.W. _j__()4.é MARYLAND CONTEST POSTPONED BY RAIN; PLAY ‘ MIDDIES TODAY reading matter music. The baseball game scheduled to be played yestcrday afternoon at College Park, Maryland, between Washington and Lee and the Uni- versity of Maryland had to be cal- led off on account of rain. The Generals were on the ticket for a scrap with the United States Naval Academy Middies in Annapolis this afternoon as the second and final battle of the out of state invasion. Although Osterman was due to draw the mound assignment for the Maryland game, he probably will not get a chance to work today un- less the Midshipmen find the offer- ings of Captain Folliard much to their liking. will probably get his crack at the Old Liners in the game to be played on Wilson field at a later date. The Washington and Lee tram made its exodus from Lexington Thursday night, going to Staunton and catching the train to Washing- ton from there. The players who made the trip are: Captain Fol- liard, Tips, Jones, Osterman, Spotts, White, Eiglebach, Lowden, Slanker, Tuggle, Hickman, Warthrn, Lauder, Johnson, Manager Bach, and Coach Smith.

Due to the fact that only one high school made entry for the athletic competition, which was to have been under the direction of coach Forest Fletcher, the track meet will not be held. This contest decides the representatives from this district who will meet in the state-wide con- test at the University of Virginia later in the spring. Three schools have entered for the literary competition; Amherst high school, Amherst; Dan River high school, Danville, and Valley high school, Hot Springs. Professor Mar- vin Bauer will have full charge of the contest, and will arrange all details. The contest will be in three divisions; public readings, debate, and orations. A boy and girl from each school will participate. The subject of the debate is, Resolved, “That Congress should pass the Cur- tis-Reed bill authorizing the estab- lishment of a United States Depart- ment of Education with a Secretary in the Presid€nt’s cabinet.” A Graham-Lee Will Select 1928-29 Officers May 19 The Graham-Lee Literary Society will hold its election and accompany- ing banquet on Saturday, May 19, according to ex-president A. C. Junkin. The plans for the affair other than the date have not been completed thus far. The regular weekly meeting of the organization will be held at 7:30 P. M. tonight in the society rooms on the third floor of Washington college. At this time Dr. W. T. Lyle of the Engineering School will ad- dress the organization on “Traffic Problems of City Government.” The other important item on the Staunton Ministers In Danger of Jail Half a dozen Staunton ministers are headed for jail, claim an equal number of policemen here. And here’s the reason why: On three different occasions in the Y. M. C. A. gymnasium the volley ball class, composed of ministers. has def<‘ated the bluecoals’ team. To make the fourth gaine 1n<,n'<- interesting, a challenge has been oi‘- iered and under its terms, if the ministers win, the policemen, in a body, will spend one hour in church. If the ministers lose they agree to spend one hour in jail. Because of their three victories, the parsons are confident they won’t become jailbirds, even for one hour. The wager has had the efect of making the bluecoats “dig in” to put their game in top form and they are also confident of victory, with resultant “honor” of escorting the ministers to jail. The issue i;—: to be dccided on May 2. r Clower First In Oratorical Contest J. B. Clowcr, a senior at ‘Washing- ton and Lee, was awarded first place in the Virginia tryouts for the fourth annual National Oratorical Contest, held last night in Lee Cha- pel. His topic was “Hamilton and the Constitution.” B. S. Chapman, student at Roa- noke College, took second place with his addrcss “The Constitution.” The remainder of the program was made up by speeches on different phases of the Constitution by R. W. Rob- erts, of William and Mary and E. Musick of the University of Virgin- ia. The contest was _iudge(l by Col- oonel R. E. Dixon, head of the de- partm(nt of English at V. M. I., Dr. E. B.
