NUMBER 38 '2 (7 Four Speakers 4 r I On Program F or Lecture Series 7 Educational Series Terminat- ed Last Night With 1 Shacklock’s Lecture BROCKMAN HEARD IN ASSEMBLY MONDAY Brockman, Myers, Tippett and Sliacklock Participate In 2-Day Conference The series of lectures which . made up the program of the World Educational conference here was brought to a close Tuesday night with a lecture on Japanese Poetry by Floyd Shacklock, in the Lee Chapel. Opening with a speech in In- ternational Relations by Fletcher S. Brockman, at the University Assembly Monday morning, the conference lasted two days, dur- ing which time five lectures were given, besides the talks made in a many of the classes. Tuesday ' morning at 10:30 James Myers spoke to the classes in the Commerce School on the subject of “Americanizing Indus- try.” In his talk, Mr. Myers at- tempted to show the need of de- ‘ mocracy in dealing with the la- bor problems, as well as in our governmental policies. In this way, T he stated, can better cooperation I. be secured between employer and employee. At the following hour, Tom Tippett also addressed the Com- merce School on the “Labor Pro- blems in the South.” Mr. Tip- pett cited several instances by which the Southern manufactur- ers are taking advantage of the laborers, and not treating them in a humanitarian way. He se- verely criticised the policies of the mine operators in keeping “private armies” to intimidate the miners and stop all attempts to form trade unions. He also stat- d that it was essential to the welfare of the communities that the workers be paid higher wages, in order that they might help promote the interests of the com- munities, instead of being paid a bare living wage. Tuesday night, Floyd Shacklock gave a talk on Japanese “Poetry,” in the Chapel. Mr. Shacklock was dressed in a Japanese costume which was presented to him by ‘his pupils while teaching in Ja- pan. In‘ describing the poetry of that country, he stated that it was usually short, rarely running’ over ¢>venteen syllables, that it had neither rime, rythm, nor accent, and attempted to paint word pic- tures rather than to create a mel- ody pleasing to the ear. ____0__j_ Professor Mapel Speaker Before Press Convention “Let me make the newspapers and I don’t care a rap who makes the laws or the religions,” Wil- liam L. Mapel, assistant professor of journalism here, told the In- terscholastic and Intercollegiate Press Association of West Virginia in convention at Huntington Sat- urday. “Newspapers are the parent schools, colleges, pulpits, theaters, and counsellors of the world to- day. Not one person in ten reads A0OkS but almost everyone buys daily newspapers,” Mr. Mapel ex- plained. Mr. Mapel’s address, “Back- ground, The Key to Success,” was given in connection with an ad- dress “Creative Writing,” by George F. Pierrot, rditor of the “American Boy.” More than four undred members of the a.ssocia- ion heard the two addresses dur- ‘ng the banquet at the Frederick otel. Because of the importance of the newspaper in modern life, Mr. Mapel stressed a background prep- aration for men entering the field. He defined journalistic back- ground as “the interpretation of everyday light through corrella- tion of history, government, econ- ' omics, social science, and litera- ture with ability to write force- fully and simply.” Mile Relay Men Go To Carolina For Track Meet The Washington and Lee crack mile relay team will leave Fri- day for Chapel Hill, N. C. where they will enter a special race on the card of the annual Universi- ty of North Carolina indoor games in the “Tin Can” Saturday night. There will be one change in the lineup which competed in the Millrose games, Simmons sup- planting Sheppard as baton car- rier number 3. Either Sandifer or Dickey will begin the race while Captain Backus will be the anchor man. The list of schools entering the relay could not be ascertained last night, but it appears that the Generals will get the stiffest competition from Maryland which put up such a good showing in the Millrose games. Nortn Caro- lina and Duke will also furnish some competition. “01dYEi§I5 Has Birthday Party 197th Anniversary of Wash- ington’s Birth Greeted Here .By 100-Year-Old Statue The of melting snow dripping from the epaulets of the statue that adorns Wash- ington college, ushered in the 197th anniversary of the birth of George Washington. pitter-patter Weather conditions similar to those at Valley Forge during the Revolution ex- encountered isted in Lexington over the week- A heavy snow fell earlier in the week, covering the statue end. with a white mantle, but the prev- alence of warmer weather soon turned the snow into slush. Throughout the day, the statue of the man in whose honor it was erected, stolidly underwent the stream of melting snow in which it was immersed. “Old George” still looks toward the east, calmly waiting for the spring. For over 100 years, his wooden frame has survived the cold blasts that have swept down the Shenandoah Valley from the north, without a betraying sign of inability to survive. “Old George” is still standing as firmly as the day he was fitted to his pedestal in 1825. Souififioixfiea is Not Success Invention To Amplify Music In Gym Fails to Serve Purpose At Dances One of the new things Wash- ington and Lee tried recently was the sound box constructed for the mid-winter dances. It proved un- successful. In the past there has been some difficulty in hearing the orches- tra distinctly in all parts of the gymnasium. Carl E. L. Gill, di- rector of the dances, knowing that Ted Weems had only ten pieces in his band, feared the orchestra would be unable to fill the room with music. To overcome this (x- pected situation Gill built a sound box, the shape of a quarter of a sphere. It was painted blue. In this box the orchestra play- ed for Junior Prom. The invention proved successful in throwing the music out—but it threw it straight out. At the far ends of the floor the orchestra could‘ hardly be heard and it was soon discern-ed that such an apparatus was inef- fective. And so, as the Fancy Dress de- corations went up, the sound box came down. For the mid-winter function Ted Weems was mounted upon the conventional high stand and his music went far and wide. 0 Track Managers.

S assured, Bill Plummer, Faculty Shortens Exam Schedule For Second Term To Nine Days Faculty Takes Action Reducing Number of Days iDevoted To Second Semester Examinations From Eleven; Two Exams Some Days Only nine days will be devoted to examinations at _the close of the present semester instead of eleven, as was the case the first semester, the RING-TUM PHI learned from reliable sources. Before the inauguration of the new 8:30 to 12:30 and 1:30 to 2:30 class schedule ten days were set aside for examinations but with the new system it was at first found necessary to set aside eleven. . A committee composed of members of the class scheduling committee was selected to look into a new system which would eradicate so much lost time during examinations and after a very close and systematic reseach of all problems it rendered a report to the executive committee of the faculty and was adopted last Monday afternoon. The committee recommended that examinations begin May 21 and continue through May 31, allowing a holiday on May 30 for Memorial day and one for Sunday, May 26. By doing this it will necessitate two examinations falling on the same day twice dur- ing the period. These exams will be chosen so as not to Debaters Ready For Princeton , Here In April More Debates Yet This Year, Plummer States-—May Have Dual Meet The Washington and Lee Uni- versity debating team, after hav- ing successfully completed its first tour is ready to begin pre- paration for the final debates of the season. The first tour, the most extensive taken by a South- ern team in‘ several years, began on February 8 and ended on Feb- ruary 15. The next debate will be held in April with Princeton. This is being held on a home and home agreement. The Princetonians will come to Lexington this year and the Washington and Lee team will go to New Jersey next spring. This debate will be taken down by a regular court reporter and ‘will be printed among the selected de- bates appearing in the Universi- ty Debaters Annual. Compliment- ary copies will be issued to each member of the competing teams. The question is: Resolved, that National Advertising as now car- ried on is both socially and ec- onomically harmful. Negotiations are being made with several nearby Southern teams to schedule a dual debate on a question of immediate inter- est to students. The one desired is: Resolved, that the only stand- ard to which college men should be held is a scholastic standard. This will probably be the subject if the permission of the authori- ties can be secured. , Although two more debates are manager of debate, stated that correspon- dence is being carried on with the University, of California, Massa- chusettes Institute of Technology, and several other large schools in regard to debates. __._:0_%.__ Fancy ,Dress Spirit Aided By Dansants In addition to the ‘regular Uni- versity mid-winter dances, three informal dansants and one eve- ning dance were held last week- end. The Phi Gamma Delta and Phi Kappa Sigma fraternities held open house and two student or- ganizations sponsored dances. The Phi Gamma Deltas held their dance Friday morning from 11 to 2. Six members of Ted Weems’ orchestra played. Light refreshments were served. The Phi Kappa’ Sigmas held open house Friday afternoon from 3 until 5. A student orchestra played. Punch was served. Saturday afternoon the Fancy Dress organization gave a dansant in the gymnasium. The South- ern Collegians played. ____0: Cuts taken before and after the Fancy Dress set of dances will not count to the latest interpretation of the cut system. This also applies to the Easter dances which will come in April. Cuts taken either before or after the Easter holidays, March 31, April 1 and 2, how- ever, will count double according to E. S. Mattingly, Registrar. double according ~ The two days set aside for the “double shift” have been the days on which block A and block J fall. The day on which block A falls examinations for this block will begin at 8:30 and continue through 12:30 as usual. In the afternoon from 2:30 to 6:30 ex- aminations for block I will be held. The day when the “double shift” will beheld is the day when block J comes. T ihadsy Clurazf eta J comes. This day block J exams will be held as block A and in the afternoon block K will substitute for block I. A close observation revealed that those students having classes in block A did not have them in block I except in most unusual case an- the same is true of blocks J and K. The faculty, it is understood, realized the uselessness of eleven days for examinations when, ex- cept for a few instances, students were not carrying more than five and six courses. A close check-up showed that when there was sev- eral days between examinations students were most susceptible to loafing and accomplishing little. The executive committee of the faculty it was learned, heartily (Continued on Page 4) John S. M1ihZe, Trustee, Dies in Richmond Second Oldest _Member of Board Dies On Monday; Prominent In Business Funerahservices for John S. Munce, trustee of Washington and Lee University and prominent bus- iness man of Richmond, Virginia, who died Saturday night at his home, were held at 3:30 P.M. Mon- day afternoon from the Second Presbyterian church of Richmond. Mr. Munce was the second old- est member of the board of trust- ees in years of service, having been selected to this post in 1901 with George Walker St. Clair of Tazewell, Virginia. Mr. Munce was head of the committee of the trustees to select a successor to Dr. Henry Louis Smith, incum- bent president of the University. Mr. Munce was a native of Bel- fast, -Ireland, who in his early manhood entered the employ of Kingan and Company and in 1884 was sent by that firm to their office in Indianapolis, Indiana. The following’ year he came to Richmond to open here Kingan & Company’s first office in the South. Under Mr. Munce’s man- agement the business here soon attained to large proportions and at the time of his death he was the eastern representative of Kin- gan & Company—having super- vision of branch offices from Pennsylvania to Florida. Mr. Munce took an active part in the work of the Second Prer- byterian church, and was an elder in that church. He was chairman of the board of the Union The- ological Seminary at Ginter Park in Richmond‘ and a trustee of Washington and Lee University. He was twice married, his first wife being Miss Lelia Gilliam, of Richmond. Three sons by his first marriage survive him, John Munce, Jr., of Washington; George G. and Marshall G. Munce of Richmond. In 1923 Mr. Munce married Miss Ella England Dun- (Continued on Page Four). work a hardship. Smith Expects More Entrants For Tournament Ten Teams Now Entered— Mar. 1 Is DeadIine—Strong Teams To Play Prepared for an avalanche of last-minute entries, R. A. Smith, director of the sixth annual in- terscholastic court tournament, to be held here March 7, 8, and 9, states that ten teams are‘ now signed up. Entries will close at midnight March 1. The latest to the tournament roster are Emerson institute, Suffolk high, St. James Military additions school, and Augusta academy. As the series‘ approach, the Em- er_son aggregation and Augusta squad loom up as strong contend- ers. The District of Columbia team has a record of nine wins and three defeats. Augusta has registered eleven victories to three setbacks. Since the Fort Defiance five has moved into its new gym, triumphs have been gained over such formidable foes as Fishburne, V. M. I. Rats, Blue- field college, and Woodberry For- est. The University of Virginia yearlings, state champions, were battled to within four points of a victory. Meanwhile, the entrants are completing their pre-tournament schedules. ‘Emerson dropped out out of the Washington prep school league, as they were ex- periencing too strenuous a sched- ule. Central high school, of Wash- ington, is pitted against the strong freshman combinations of Prince- ton university and the University of Pennsylvania this week—end. Staunton is winding up its sched- ule in games with the nearby military academies. _._____0___:_ F rosh Beat Tech Goblets Second Time This Year In a preliminary game to the V. P. I.-General varsity game on Saturday night at Blacksburg the Blue and White frosh. quint de- feated the Tech Goblets by the score of 41 to 28. The Tech Rats showed better form than they did in their first meeting of this season, but were unable to check the Little Gen- erals’ offense. The Blue and White assumed a comfortable lead in the early minutes of the first period and were at no stage of the game in danger. Lead by the diminutive Smith, scoring ace of the Little Generals, they were able to score almost at will. Tibbs and Price led the Goblets in ‘scoring and played a good defensive game. The scor- ing of Smith, who garnered 20 points, was the high light for the Blue and White five, coupled with the floor work of Barasch. 0 According to a statement from Dr. Robert W. Dickey no further steps can be taken on the work of the proposed intercommunicat- ing telephone system for Washing- ton and Lee until sanctioned by the board of trustees. The next trustees meeting is to be held in June. Bolton Given Loving Cap For Wrestling Work Dick‘ Bolton, veteran heavy- weight wrestler, has won the sil- ver loving cup offered by Coach Mathis in recognition of his steady work on the varsity team through- out the season. Harris and Tilson of the fresh team are to receive medals for not losing a match during the entire season. Bolton has just completed three years of varsitycompetition both as a 175 pounder and heavyweight. He secured his" first chance as a regular last season when Cap- tain Seligman was injured and al- so acted alternative for Hughes in the unlimited class. This season his crowning a- chievements were falls over his Virginia and N. C. State oppon- ents in the deciding bouts of the meets. Harris and Tilson, the two prize products of Coach Mathis’ efforts, could not find an opponent in their class throughout the season, both winning most of their bouts by falls. The awards will be made at the annual banquet. WrestlersTdse Season’s Finale Generals Have to Forfeit Un- limited Bout Giving Gob- blers Win, 15 1-2 to 12 1-2 Washington and Lee Varsity grapplers closed their season with a 151.2 to 12 1-2 defeat at the hands of Virginia Poly last Thurs- day at Blacksburg. Prior to the Varsity contest, the Little Gener- als gained a 21 to 13 decision over the Cadet yearlings to re- tain a season’s clear record. Lack of an entry in the unlim- ited class proved disastrous to the Blue and White when Bolton fought in the 175-pound divis- ion and secured a fall to put the team within striking distance of a victory. ' Captain Rule and Clark secured falls while Belser, after extending his man for an extra period, was ruled a draw. Kaplan, 125 pounder and hitherto undefeated in South- ern Confernece circles succumbed by a decision to Captain Andes of Tech. “Wee Willie” Davis, 230 pound Tech heavyweight and for- mer sectional Olympic champion was awarded a forfeit. - Two falls and three decisions were enough to claim a win for the Washington and Lee yearlings. Mattox and Tilson pinned their opponents while Captain Harris, {Ladd and Mitchell gained decisions. Davidson, 115 pounder, wrestling in the 125 pound class and Guyol, 165 pounder, were thrown by V. P. I. - ———o Taxi Drivers Do Good Business Snowfall During Dances Proves Boon To Taxi Men Slippery and sloppy sidewalks, resulting from last Wednesday's snow, caused expenditures of ex- orbitant sums by students of Washington and Lee during the mid-winter dances. Students who had cars at school were indeed lucky, those without automobiles being forced to rely on taxis as a means of conveyance. It was almost impossible to obtain a taxi —they were in such demand. Taxi companies reported a larger business during this set of dances than at any other set in ' history. The town of Lexington was forced to change its vehicle laws in order to give licenses to more drivers so the congestion of pedestrians might be lessened. At meal time and before and after dances it was out of the question to get a. taxi, unless res- ervations had been made. _i_.0__,_ There will be a Basketball in- formal Saturday night, March, 9 following the tournament, accord- ing to Peyton Bush, president of the Cotillion .club.

COX BOOSTS SCORING TOTAL TO OVER 200 Leads Scoring As Team Wins Eighth In Conference Play Charlottesville, Feb. 26 (AP.)—— Washington and Lee tonight achieved its fifteenth basketball victory of the year by defeating the University of Virginia, 50 to 30. The Generals have thus taken a standing in the Southern Con- ference of eight games won and one lost and a total of 755 points scored during the season. With Cox and Williams leading the way the Generals tonight took a lead at the start of the game and were never overtaken by the Cavaliers who appeared over- anxious and hurried and thereby inaccurate in their game. Cox, sensational shooting sophomore of Washington and Lee, pushed his point total for the year to 201. Williams, General center, tipped the starting toss and Cox took a pass to hook the ball in for the Generals’ first counter. Virginia took the second toss, but a mo- ment later Williams hooked a fast pass, dribbled a couple of times, and landed another in the net. Merle started the scoring for Virginia when fouled by Williams, but Williams and Cox retaliated for Washington and Lee by each making good a free throw. Again the lanky Lexington center tossed one in fromrthe left before Har- rison sank two in quick succes- sion to put Virginia in the run- ning. At times the Virginians pressed close behind but they were unable to overtake the sharp shooting Generals. Williams got free time and again to ring the loop from all angles of the court, while Cox and Jacobs, a substitute for Cap- tain Lowry, kept him company. The Generals were leading, 28 to 12, at the intermission. Virginia started the last half by scoring a foul, but Cox, Wil- liams and Wood sank two-pointers in rapid succession before the Virginians were able to . count again by the foul route. Fouling was frequent as the half progress- ed, and Merle, Virginia, and Williams, Wood anl Hanna, of the Generals, were disqualified. Cox was the sensation of the game, breaking the 200 season scoring mark with the last basket (Continued on page four) j___Q_____ -- Dance N amber Of Magazine Is Well Received The Fancy D_ress number of The Southern Collegian made its appearance on the eve of Fancy Dress ball. The issue dedicated to Fancy Dress was well received- by students and visitors. Thomas J. Sugrue on his sec- ond year as editor of the maga- zine, presented an editorial which was instructive as well as inter- esting. Sugrue also contributed a dedicatory poem to “Fancy Dress Girl.” George F. Ashworth humorous- ly takes Miss Gertrude Atherton and all women in general to task in his article, “Women Are Like That.” Ashworth also writes the story of the life of a crippled college athlete called “Ruin.” Richard Carter contributes a short story, “There Is No Memory.” “Dryden and Poetic Satire” is the subject of an article by an anonymous author. This article shows that the author has entered into much research and has a clear understanding of that great English writer. The article ap- pears in two parts. The second installment will be seen in the Easter number of the Collegian.

Last Thursday evening during Junior prom two men clad in blue entered the gymnasium. For a short time they adorn- ed the balcony. These men were apD1"0aCh€d- _ came here on your own accord you ‘W111 have to retire from the gym . . . 12-h1S 1s a private social function and no police pro- tection is needed nor desired; if you are here obeying instructions from a person connected with the University I shall have to request that you retire to the basement of the gym.” In a short time the men were in the basement. Friday night during the Fancy Dress ball these men werecin the basement of the gymnasium again. This was the first time ‘ in the history of the University that social functions in the gym had found officers of the law present. . Wondering the mission of these men and all the particulars of their presents, the RING-TUM PHI set out to learn this from those in charge of the dance. After talk- ing with the dance leaders we learned that they knew nothing about Why the 1301109 “If you’ presence of two policemen stationed in al gymnasium of a private institution duringl a private dance can only lend a bad light| upon this in such a manner. We firmly believe that all dances at Wash- ington and Lee should be run without po- lice supervision and as soon as such is necessary that all dances should be barred forever. If they were not discontinued after conditions had become so deplorable we would immediately begin a campaign towards accomplishing that end. There‘ -was no need for these “cops,” there never has been, and we sincerely be- lieve there never will be. A lenghty conversation with the com- monwealth’s attorney revealed that student conduct here this year had been better than for years and we were assured that no reports of disorder had been reported to authorities of Lexington. Students are highly indignant over the placing of “cops” in the gym, we easily see their View and agree that it tends to take away much of the gentility and charm that Southern dances should have. With a capable working floor committee to take care of any errant student, alumnus, or visitor, and A a faculty committee to help supervise social functions, we see no necessity for policemen being present and we sincerely hope there will never be a du- plication. We believe th one responsible for the “protection” will bear us out that the presence of policemen at such a dance ltends to impress visitors that this might be a gathering of the dregs of the under- world instead of a gathering of ladies and gentlemen to enjoy an evening of merri- ment together. ______0_.__L JOHN s. MUNCE_ Today students, alumni, and faculty members of Washington and Lee mourn the loss of the truest and noblest support- ers of, the institution, John S. Munce, of Richmond, who died last Saturday eve- ning. For twenty-eight years Mr. Munce had devoted part of his time to the University and its betterments. He had ‘served on the board of trustees and had seen the in- stitution more than double its size in at- tendance, equipment, and prestige. The loss of such a noble follower is a great loss to the institution and his pass- ing Will be mostly keenly felt. The passing of Mr. Munce marks the loss of a true Christian citizen and a great business man. It marks the loss of an- other of our trustees who have so brilliantly directed the destinies of our University with the administration and have built a glorious reputation for our institution which Were Present 01' who had Secured their lhas so justly upheld the adored standards " services. Not being satisfied with that, we under- took to find out the details. After a close check-up we found that these men had been secured through the request of Paul M. Penick, treasurer of the University. Many students had voluntarily come to the editor with complaints some of these complaints are entirely too harsh and severe to be printed in any publications. Some faculty members were approached. One said if he had seen the policemen there he and his Wife would have gone home, for he considered a dance at Wash- ington and Lee a social event for ladies and gentlemen and that if police supervi- sion was necessary it would not be fit for ladies. Last night, after hearing the side of students, an interview was had with Mr. Penick lasting an hour, during which the whole question was thrashed out. Mr. Penick stated that on two occasions this year he had found “outsiders” bring- ing liquor into the gymnasium. He said that he had had no complaint to make about the conduct of studentsthis year and was thoroughly confident that drinking here was at a minimum, but he wanted to keep drinking by “outsiders” out of the gym and protect our reputation. “At the last Virginia basketball game .here,” Mr. Penick said, “I found a student from another institution drinking from a bottle in the basement of the gym. Of course to the ‘outsider’ this boy might have been a‘ Washington and Lee student.’ ” Mr. Penick further stated that he had requested only one officer to be present and that only for Friday night and that he gave instructions that this officer be sta- tioned in the basement, and remain there. We can easily see Mr. Penick’s motives and realize that what he was doing was what he considered for the best of the in- stitution and to prevent a “wholesale drink- ing bOut” in thebasement by “outsiders.” But there is another side to look at:— dances at Washington and Lee are con- ducted by geneltmen and we see no reason of the noble Washington and the immortal Lee. To those who survive the late John S. Munce we extend our most sincere sym- pathy. * We herewith quote an editorial appear- ing in Monday’s Richmond News-Leader written by Douglas Freeman, once a stu- dent of Washington and Lee, and now edi- tor of the Richmond paper, and a close personal friend of Mr. Munce: In the long business career that ended all too soon in his death on Saturday, John S. Munce probably did not lose a single friend of the thou- sands he made. ‘ Customers may have come and gone and come again, as they often do in business, but friends Once won were held to the last hour. It was because of the singular consistency of the man. He was not of the type that holds to a high code of business ethics and allows itself lati- tude in personal morality, nor was he personally moral and lax in business. Those who knew him Ipensive pains to see that every representation he l for police protection or super 'ision. The \ \ intimately were aware that he took the most ex- made in business was sustained in letter and in spirit. What he said a commodity was, it was, in every particular and by every reasonable in- ference. In exactly the same spirit, he kept faith with his friends. Did anyone live who could accuse him of any breach of kindness or of justice? Did he ever forget an old acquaintance, or profess himself too busy to render any service he was ever called upon to perform? People who were his chance neighbors thirty years ago were his warm friends in the last years of his life. Persons who rarely saw him were always impressed and sometimes were startled to find that he‘remembered all their problems, all their ideals. Mr. Munce took no very large part in the affairs of the city, for outside the circle of his own family, his first allegiance was to his church. In that he labored with long patience and high zeal. Yet his interestswere of the widest and his reputation as high as that of any man who lived in Richmond. The universal opinion of him was expressed by the representative of one insurance company, not long ago. when he told his Richmond agent, “In any fire that occurs in any Kingan plant, our company is perfectly willing to leave the whole adjustment to John S. Munce,” himself the local manager of Kingan & Co. / The restaurant manager stopped in front of a patron who had lit a cigaret. “That sign says ‘No, Smoking.’ ” he remarked. The other gazed at it. “Yes,” he returned, pufiing away, “but it doesn’t say ‘Positively.’ ”—Boston Transcript. Mr. Henry P.

Editor, The Ring-tum Phi, Lexington, Virginia. Dear Editor:— Last Thursday night during the dance I noticed two cops “deco- rating” the basement of the gym- nasium, and again Friday night the able force was there “beauti- fying“ the basement again. Heretofore many hundreds of dollars have spent in decorat- ing the interior of the gym, but. it has never been found necessaryl to “decorate” the basement by men ' in blue. I can see no sense for. going to the extra expense of “decorating” the basement, can you? _ I talked with several students and they were very indignant over it. I then questioned some of those directly connected with the responsibility of the dance and found they knew nothing about the “added decorations” before- hand. Although I know this from no authoritative source; I under- stand that the authorities of the town did not demand their pres- ence. I do not know who was respon- sible for this conteniptible act, and do not care, but it should be stopped and whoever caused it should be in for a sound,scold- ing—whoever he may be. A LOYAL STUDENT. Atlanta, Georgia, February 25, 1929. The Ring-tum Phi, Lexington, Va. Dear Henry:—— I’ve only time for a note, but just wanted to say that I have gotten leave from the “Boss” to attend all W. and W. games in the tournament here and will only be too glad to wire you a de- tail account of all games. I will be able, I’m sure, to get the Friday and Saturday games in the Ring-tum Phi Saturday. Anything you want will be done just for the pleasure of once again getting a story for the Ring-tum Phi. I've been getting the Ring-tum Phi regularly by dropping by the Tech Y, and I certainly do read with interest your editorials. They’re good and I will say that you are making a real newspaper of the old sheet. Best of luck- keep it up. Give the gang my best. I’ll be seeing you Finals. the games. Sincerely yours, SAM HARRISON, Ex ’29. 28 Moore Street, Bristol, Virginia, February 20, 1929. Mr. H. P. Johnston, Editor The Ring-tum Phi, Lexington, Va. Dear Sir:— In your issue of February 6th I note the admirable decision of both the faculty and the student‘ body “to better dances. As an old grad, not too old to remem- ber the enjoyment of these fes- ttive cases in the desert of sup- posedly terrific study and athletic work, may I add my voice in such betterment? ' A professor answered me one morning at a nine o’clock class, after the dances, when I requested to be excused from recitation. “Oh, yes!‘ I have heard you haven’t missed a dance since you entered the University.” It was literally true. But I hadn’t miss- ed a nine o’clock class (follow- ing the dances) either, if not al- ways prepared. I was sorry to note your article did not mention any plans to eliminate the excessive drinking and—yes, sometimes excessive ( ?) petting parties, too. We have heard much of the drunkenness complaint laid to visitors, alumni and guests, even occasionally to the fairer sex. Be that as it may, I claim we should be able to control all of these elements at our dances—-—if not at our foot- ball games. I was a member of the Cotillion club and interested in the enforce- ment of the eight-hour abstain- ance rule. Let us put some back- bone in our floor committee. A warning to the errant’s fraternityl V‘: members present should accom- plish his removal without diffi- culty. I am not a prude or a teetotal- er, but I can truthfuly say I nev- er broke the club pledge, or went to a single dance while drinking. Let us respect our feminine part- ners more and if they are to blame “treat ’em rough.” A girl who will carry a flask to a dance deserves it. I am ashamed to hear the in- stitution bearing the names of Washington and our adored Lee dragged through the mire over the conduct of its dances. Our heritage is too great for that. You are putting out a splendid paper this year. I admire your stirring up the “Y,” although I must admit I am not fully con versant with the issues involve _. A little healthy criticism never hurts, if it is constructive. Yours for W. and L., MARION S. SANDERS, 17. For Quality of Service and Ser- vice of Quality. suits from $30.00 to $50.00.

The game was a rough and rugged affair with both teams playing a poor offensive game and team work was even less im- pressive. was unable to check the shooting of Cox and Williams, of the Gen- erals, who rolled up 19 points between themselves. The final minutes of the game saw only one Tech regular in the fray, the others"having been banished through the personal foul route. The work of Sammy Rice, Tech scoring ace, was brililant despite the fact that he failed to score but once from the floor. The Tech five was able to score only once in the first half from the floor, but in the final minutes of the game Rice and Amole, brought cheers from the crowd by drib- bling through the Generals’ de- fense to score, but Hanna and Jacobs of the Blue and White retaliated each time and in the five minutes they boosted the Gen- erals’ score by 10 points. Captain Lowry, of the Blue and White, was not up to his usual form and scored only once from the floor, but Leigh Williams and Cox kept the Generals in running by their scoring with Wood playing his usual game of steadiness on the defense. The inability of both teams to make good their free throw chances kept the score smaller. Summary: V. P. I.—— G. Rice, f ......................... ._ 1 Amole, f _____________________ _.

Four teams flashing consistently in sportsdom’s most inconsistent game have won the right to be called favorites when the South- ern conference basketball title tournament bgeins here Friday. The Generals of Washington and Lee, Tarheels of North Caro- lina, Yellow Jackets of Georgia Tech, and Bulldogs of Georgia, with near perfectconference rec- ords, cannot be denied the rank- ing~ places among the sixteen teams gathering for the meet. The Generals with eight vic- tories against a single defeat; twelve victories compared with two setbacks for the terrible Tar- heels; ten triumphs against two defeats for the Atlanta Jackets and thirteen victories with four losses for Georgia’s Red and Black stamps these four as the most consistent. I University of Mississippi, un- heralded a year ago, however, came out of the river country to upset highly touted Auburn and clinch the title. Incidentally, Ole Miss brings four of last year’s first string back, to the meet. Tu- lane’s Greenies, the Wildcats of Kentucky, Tennessee’s Vols, the pounding Tide of Alabama, Clem- son’s Tigers and the Blue Devils, of Duke university, all bring more or less impressive records while North Carolina State and Missis- sipp A. and M. also send names Washington and Lee, Louisiana State, Mississippi, Maryland, -HANNi‘vi -LEFGDAQD - North Carolina State, Tennessee, Clemson and Georgia Tech com- prise the upper bracket for the tournament, as announced by the committee, while Georgia, Auburn, Kentucky, Tulane, Alabama, Duke, North Carolina and Mississippi A. and M. are bracketed in the lower.

Heard By Students Fletcher S. Brockman as the speaker at the University assem- bly .Monday morning, delivered the first of a series of lectures in the World Educational confer- ence being held here. After a short talk by G. H. Patterson, the local Y.M.C.A. sec- retary, the speaker was intro- duced by Dr. J. L. Howe, who has been his personal friend for a number of years. Mr. Brockman took as his sub- ject “International Relations,” and dealt mainly with our relations with China. He has lived there as general secretary of the Y.M. C.A. in the Far East for about thirty years. In discussing this subject, he took up the revolution in that country, and the present form of government which grew out of it, the overthrow of the communistic influences, and the establishment of a stable organism which has many graduates of American and English universities at its head. Along with this thought, Mr. Brockman related many incidents which clearly show the great sci- entific and economic progress which has been made in the past few years, as well as the badly needed changes that have been made in the educational system. ______0_____ John S.
