College Humor
Praises Illinois

In This Issue

' “College society as understood
in the East is scarcely heard of
at the University of Illinois,” says
, Francis C. Coughlin, in the April
College Humor. “There is no
charmed circle of exclusive fra-
ternities—there are vastly too
many Greek letter houses to make
possible a monopoly of wealth and
talent in any select group of man-
ageable size. Furthermore, per-
sonal aloofness is not counted a
irtue at Illinois; it is considered
in ill-mannered vice. Men freely
mile away a second introduction.
They speak after a first meeting.
Rather frequently they speak be-
fore. A newcomer’s formal alle-
giance, good or bad, are little
taken into account; he is politely
heard, freely and frankly answer-
ed, and accepted and dismissed

 on the basis of his own conten-

tions. This is sometimes called

democracy.

a light comedy of three a .:'

fully in Nev: York several yea‘

studyiand reviewing of the field.
The cast consists of eleven mem-
bers.

The first pres:-ntation of “The

April 1, which will be the first
stop of the annual spring; tour.
The towns at which the organi-
zation will present the coinecly
have not yet been definitely book-
ed, although quite a number are
bcing considered.

It is probable that the Trouba-
donrs will take a similar tour to
those that have been made in the
last few years. Manager Gilbert
is negotiating with towns in West
Virginia, North Carolina, Tennes-
see and Virginia and expects to
have his itinerary ready for pub--
lication soon.

Joe Broadus, in charge of the
costumes, is working to have them
ready for dress rehearsal in the
next few days, Gilbert said.

Large Nurriber Of '
Candidates Out
For Track Posts

The spring track training for
the varsity and freshman squads
is being carried on every after-
noon on Wilson field.

The number of men responding
to the call of both teams exceeds
that of any previous year. There
are about forty-five freshmen and
thirty-five varsity candidates on
the manager’s list at present.

A survey of the material on
both squads shows that there is
much promising talent. The
question of weight men, which
has been a point of Weakness in
past years, seems to be encourag-
ing in both of the squads.

The training season before the
beginning of the meets will be
intense as the first varsity meet
is scheduled for April 1.

A Former Student

Gets New Position

Charles 0. Handley of Thom-
asville, Ga., and former student
at Washington and Lee, has been
appointed to the newly created
position of superintendent of

game propogation in Virginia, ac-
cording to an announcement. by
the state commission of game and
inland fisheries in session in Rich-
mond.

Mr. Handley will assume his
new duties June 1.

Mr. Handley taught biology for

three years at Washington and

Lee, and for the last three years
has been in the employ of the
United States bureau of biologi-
cal survey as an assistant to
Herbert L. Stoddard in the Geor-
gia quail investigation. His spe-
cialty has been the study of the
food habits of the quail.

$2,500 Received
For Lee Statue

Will Place. Memorial In Fa-
mous Hall Of House Of
Delegates.

Approximately $2,500 has been
received in contributions to the
fund for the erection of a monu-
ment to General Lee in the capi-
tol building, in Richmond, it was
learned today.

It is planned to place the mon-
ument in the restored hall of the
house of delegates where General
Lee received his commission as
commander of the Virginia forces.
The total estimate cost of the
proposed memorial is $25,000. Be-
fore its erection the design will
beapproved by the Virginia art
commission.

The old hall of the house of
delegates is with the exception
of Faneuil hall in Philadelphia,
the most historic assembly build-
ing in the United States. It was
there that George Washington
was received by the general as-
sembly and there the supreme
court, under Chief Justice John
Marshall, tried Aaron Burr for
treason. It was used as the house
of representatives ‘of the Confed-
erate congress, and it was the
tomb of 160 Richmonders, who
perished in the capitol disaster.

The campaign to collect the
fund for the Lee monument is be-
ing personally conducted by Gov-
ernor Byrd. Contributions from
individuals or organizations should
be made by check payable to the
governor of Virginia and sent to
the governor’sofl‘ice.

Curb In Front Of Gym And
Landscaping Of Ravine. Are
Improvements Planned.

A concrete curb to encircle the
grass in front of Doremus gym-
nasium extending from the library
to the bride and down to Graham
dormitory is one of several im-

provements to be made this spring
for early this summer, C. E. Hous-
ton, professor of engineering, said
today.

This curb will prevent parking
on the grass, and will give au-
thorities a chance to beautify the
plot in front of the gymnasium.
Eventually the gravel road from
the library to the bridge entrance
will be done away with, Mr. Hous-
ton said, and a circular concrete
drive laid in front of the gym-
nasium. Roads back of the build-
ing will be improved and arrange-
ments made_(to provide parking
space therefor dances and games.

Ivy is now being planted around
both dormitories," and by June
should be several feet high.
Earth is being brought from the
Woods creek ravine for cultiva-
tion of the ivy.

When asked about arrangements
for beautifying the ravine, which
is University property, Mr. Hous-
ton said that indefinite plans had
been made to construct scenic
paths through the trees and along
the watercourse, with benches and
possibly a park.

No parking signs have been
placed on the grass between the
dining hall and Lee dormitory,
and students are requested to find
other parking space. Grass is be-
ing ruined by parked automo-
biles.‘ Parking is also to be pro-
hibited on the narrow road from
the library to the chemistry
building.

To Have Five Delegates.

Dr. William M. Brown, profes-
sor of education and psychology
here, has been asked to make<sev-
eral commencement addresses to
high schools over the state in
June, and out of the seven or
eight invitations which he receives
yearly, two have been definitely
decided upon at the present time.

On June 11, Dr. Brown will de-
liver the commencement address
to the Danville High school, Dan-
ville, Va., where he used to be
principal, prior to his coming to
Washington and Lee in 1921.

On May 30, at Cabell" hall, Uni-
versity of Virginia, Dr. Brown
will speak to a joint commence-
ment exercise of all the high
schools in Albemarle county. John
J. Tigert, former United States
commissioner of education, and
now president of the University
of Florida, made the speech last
year to this group of schools.

As yet no topics have been de-
cided upon for these speeches.

Student Executive
Committee To Name

V.-President Monday

The executive committee of the
student body will meet early next
week to elect a vice-president to
succeed Harry Rand, who has left
the University. The selection will
probably be from among the va-
rious men who have put their
names on the list of candidates
on the bulletin board, but it is
possible that present members of
the committee will take over the
position for the remaining month
of the term, as there are details

which the new man might not

Discusses Merits

Of Coaches, Profs.

The athletic coach may draw
down a larger salary than the
college professor, but in most
cases he’s worth the difference,
asserts H. W. Whicker, a former
professor, in last month’s Scrib-
ner’s Magazine.»

“There is ‘at present not a
more overpaid profession on earth
than the academic or education-
al,” he declares.

“The number of people who
drift into college, year after year,
without one quality of manhood
or womanhood is amazing. In
some mysterious fashion they
drag through, finding the stuff
suitable for their little wits not
in history, not in the sciences, not
in the arts, but in the department
of education, where in association
with their kind they are molded
like putty into herders, not
teachers. And after four years
they know that life is no place
for them; it is a swift and terri-
ble stream which they view with
abject terror.

ICollegians0 Will
Play For William
And Mary Dances

The Washington and Lee South-
ern Collegians will furnish the
music for the mid-winter set of
dances at William and Mary col-
lege on Friday and Saturday of
this week.

There will be a dance on each
of these nights, and a tea dance
on Saturday. The full band of
twelve pieces will make the trip.

The Collegians have achieved
,quite a reputation in the past few
Iyears, and they have received a
number .,of tempting ofiers for
work this summer, which they are
considering. However, it has not
yet been decided whether or not
the orchestra will remain intact
this summer.

Flying~Cl—uOlTs—T'l-elp 
To Lower Cost Of

License To Operate

“An average ten-hour flying
course costs in the neighborhood
of three hundred dollars,” says
Robert B. Bell, president of the
Harvard Flying club, in the April
College Humor. “The chief value
of a flying club is that it allows
a student to pile up flying time
at a reasonable cost, cutting the
price of a course nearly in half.

“The Harvard Flying Club, In-
corporated, is the senior college
flying organization in the coun-
try. Its first plane, flying only
six months of the year since
1926, has flown four hundred
hours, and many pilots have been
trained and licensed, all without
serious mishap of any sort. This
has been largely due to the suc-I
cess with which it has solved
the main problems which will face
every college flying organization:
namely, the problem of finance,
and the problem of operation.

“The primary aim of any flying
club should be to keep its plane
or planes actually in the air; to
pile up flying time and to train
pilots. That this may be done,
some standard organization and
well-defined rules are needed.

RESPONSIBILITY IS ON ADULTS.

Since the beginning of colleges, students
have received criticism. Since the begin-
ning of neighbors and children, youth has
been criticised. The world would seem un-
natural if there wasn’t something for idlers
to gossip about.

For the -past several years students of
universities have been carrying the brunt
of criticism. “All students are moral de-
‘generates, or are subject to moral degenera-
tion,” we have frequently heard.

People are too rapid in gaining conclu-
sions, especially those who were youths
twenty-five, thirty, and forty years ago.
They seem, to have forgotten that youth of
yesterday was materially different from
youth of today. It is too easy to forget
some things.

It has been the college student who has
received the severe and too often unjust
criticism. But now the criticism is begin-
ning to reach those who have not yet at-
tained the age required for college entrants.
Last week an article from Racine, Wis.,
said, “Rumors of widespread drinking and
petting at junior high school parties were
recognized by the Racine board of educa-
tion today when a sweeping investigation
was ordered.”

It is charged that the youngsters have
been bringing liquor to school parties. This
may be true. There is some drinking at
senior high school parties, and there is some
drinking at university gatherings, so drink-
ing at junior high school parties is pos-
sible and probable. But what is to blame
for the drinking at educational institutions?

Doesn’t a youth tend to follow the ex-
amples set by older persons? Isn’t it hu-
man nature for a younger person to do and
behave like older ones? Then isn’t it a lit-
tle unjust to lay all the blame on youth
when indirectly the adults of sedate age
are the ones responsible?

CAMPUS, POLITICS, HORSE-PLAY.

Very frequently readers of papers will
note that there is a campaign being carried
on by such—and-such a paper, but this move-
ment is not usually nation—wide unless it be
in the case of political races or during times
of critical strife.

Today there is no national political con-
troversy. nor is there any campaign being
carried on by editors to settle any strife.
But there seems to be three separate and
distinct campaigns being carried on
throughout the press of American colleges.

Many college editors from all sections of
the United States are urging that their
campus be improved and be kept neat at all
times; that spring elections be earlier and
that the newly elected officers take their
positions before the end of the year so as
to break the monotony of nine months’
constant service and thus allow seniors the
last two or three /months of their college
career to study; and the third, most widely
discussed of all is “horse-play” and “hell
week” of fraternities.

All three of these are important and
worth while topics to be discussed in col-
lege publications; all three have direct
bearing on the campus of every American
institution. \

The campus at Washington and Lee has
not been kept as neat this year as we would
like to have seen it. Elections and politics
have not been regulated as well as they

could have been, and horse-play at frater-
nity initiations are not what they should
have been, or might have been.

Washington and Lee is open to criticism

and improvements in all three subjects. We —

stand strongly in favor of a neater campus,
we believe election dates and politics could
be improved, and most strongly of all, we
believe conditions regarding “horse-play”
and hell week’? could and should be im-
proved.

Every student in the University, we be-
lieve, will stand solidly behind the RING-
TUM PHI in wanting the campus kept neat
at all times, that waste be placed in proper
places instead of scattered on the campus
for the winds to blow hither and yonder.
We feel there is no opposition to this ques-
tion.

The matter of election dates and politics
are questions which are open to much dis-
cussion and much argument, both pro and
con. The question of fraternity “hell week”
and “horse-play” is also subject to lengthy
discussions. We do not believe perpetua-
tion of “horse-play” would be endorsed by
everyone, nor do we believe everyone would
be content with its abolition, but we do be-
lieve the majority of students here are will-
ing, and many would like, to see some
changes before another year. i

One of the greatest menaces to pedes-
trians and motorists, according to an in-
vestigation by the Boston police, is the
“one-eyed car.” Hence a campaign has been
begun in Boston against “one-eyed cars.”

This investigation gives rise to the ques-
tion: Has sufficient effort been made, in
the safety campaigns~throughout the coun-
try, to learn the exact causes of all the fatal
accidents?

A contemporary editor, commenting on
accidents and safety campaigns, winds up
his editorial with the following: “Twenty-
seven thousand persons were killed in au-
tomobile accidents in the" United States in
1928. That was considerably more than
in the previous year. Clearly something
different in the way of safety campaigning
is needed. Perhaps there has been complete
classification of the nature of all the fatal
accidents. In that event, the next step
would seem to be toward spreading the in-
formation and concentrating on the kinds
of accidents producing the great majority
of the fatalities.”

ANOTHER OPPORTUNITY.

The basketball tournament is over. Visit-‘

ing teams came here from all over the South
Atlantic area, tasted of Washington and
Lee hospitality, and went away, loud in
their praises of the University. Washing-
ton and Lee is even more favorably known
as a result. - '

Soon will come another opportunity to
increase the prestige of the University. The
Southern Interscholastic Press Association
will convene here’ again this year, on May
10 and 11. Preparatory and high school
journalists representing scholastic publica-
tions from all over the South will be in
Lexington as the guests of the Lee School
of Journalism.

This association was founded here in
1926 and this year’s meeting will be the
fourth annual convention. Last year, 109
delegates,‘ with more than two dozen fac-
ulty advisers, attended. An even larger
number of delegates and an even more suc-
cessful convention seems to be in store next
month.

Prominent newspaper men will come here
and make talks. Executives of the Lee
School of Journalism, staff members of
Washington and Lee publications, and fac-
ulty members will lend their aid in making
the meeting a worthwhile one. The young
publishers will certainly carry away some
ideas of value—ideas of staff organization,
of layout and makeup, of business manage-
ment, of editorial writing, of headline writ-
ing, copy reading, proof reading and so on.

Last year at the banquet, which culmi-
nated in a most successful session, 21 Made-
in-Virginia theme was carried out. Every-
thing served was a product of the Old Do-
minion. The menu included every conceiv-
able delicacy that has made Virginia fa-
mous——from Smithfield hams to Suffolk
peanuts—all donated by various Virginia
firms. I

The holding of the convention here calls
for a huge amount of work from those
sponsoring it. The student body can lessen
their labor and at the same time be work-
ing for the good of the University by co-
operating in the entertainment of the dele-
gates. They are the guests of the whole
University. What they think of Washing-
ton and Lee after they leave here will de-
pend, in a large measure, on the hospitality
accorded them. I

REBELS IN MEXICO seem to

United States government has
taken a firm stand behind the
Mexican federal government and
has offered ammunition and sup-

Apparently /the government at
Washington has become confident
of the strength of its neighbor
or it would not risk its prestige
in such a manner. If the rebels
should win the conflict, the United
States would be in a difficult po-
sition.

THE REBELLION, if the state-
ment of a West Virginia woman
is true, is a plan to involve the

United States and apan in war.

' According to

her the whole
scheme was planned in 1925 when
Jesus Maria Aguirre, rebel lead-
er, visited her husband, his broth-
er, in West Virginia. They col-
lected “tithes,” she says, from
400 Mexican workers in the town
of Benwood. The money was to
be sent to Mexico and from there
to Japan where it would buy
arms. “When the time was ripe
Japan would enter the revolution
on the side of the rebels,” she
said she was told. The United
States would then be involved.

THE CRUSADES of the mid-
dle ages were brought to life in
a modernized form today when

drove a parade of their machines

state gasoline tax they expect to
overawe legislators and thus
cause the proposed law’s down-
fall. What effect such a crusade
will have on the law-makers is
doubtful. Whether New York
City can get along without these
men the three or four days they
are gone is of as much impor-
tance.

Dr. Campbell Makes Awards For
Tournament During Informal

During the intermisison of the
informal dance which followed
the final game. of the tournament,
Dr. H. D. Campbell awarded team
and individual trophies to the
winners and individuals for their
play during the sixth annual prep
tournament. The trophy for the
winning team was awarded to the
Newport News High and the run-
ner-up trophy to Augusta Mili-
tary.

Wheeler, captain of the New-
port News team, was awarded the
high point prize. Vanette of
Massanutten Military quint was
given the prize for the best foul
shot, with Hall of Princeton re-
ceiving the award for the best
all around man in the fracas, and
Stover of the Staunton Military
academy won the prize for the
high point man eliminated. The
selections for the all tournament
teams were named at that time
also.

On the first five named by the
judges, Bach of Augusta and
Wheeler of Newport News were
named forwards. The work of
Bach in the final game was bril-
liant. Wheeler was the big star

in. He gained the high point
honors of the tournament and his
defensive play was outstanding.

Colley of Emerson was named
as center on the first five. The
guard posts were given to Hall
of Princeton and Palmer of New-
port News. These two guards
were the most outstanding defen-
sive players on any team in the
tournament. Hall, who was nam-

in every game his team played,

ed captain of the first five de-
serves particular mention for his
work. The Princeton guard was
a power on defense and in every
game that his team participated
in he was high scorer. His long
shot in the final quarter of the
Emerson game was ruled value
less because of it hitting some
small obstruction in the top of
the gymnasium. This was the
longest shot caged during the
tournament. So brilliant was his
play in this game that he was
named the most valuable man to
his team in the tournament.

Hall’s running mate, Palmer of
the winning Newport News team,
was no less brilliant in his play.
His work on the defense and his
work of recovering opponent shots
off the backboard was one of the
important things in carrying his
team to victory through the final
game of the tournament.

The second all tournament team
shows five men whose work was
brilliant in their team’s play but
who either their team was elimi-
nated before the later games or
whose play was only the'most
brilliant in the crucial games. On
the second five were placed Pe-
nick of South Boston and Buscher
of Emerson as forwards, Baker
of John Marshall was named as
center, with Reinert of S. M. A.
and Schaffer of A. M. A., being
given the guard posts.

Honor, 37 to 31.

Newport News High school won
the sixth annual South Atlantic
prep and high school basketball
championship tournament here
Saturday night by defeating the
Augusta Military academy team
in the final game Saturday night,
37 to 31.

The game was a fast affair with
both teams fighting to take a
commanding lead. The Tidewater
team began early in the first pe-
riod by scoring seven points to
the cadets’ two before the period
was five minutes gone. The end
of the period saw the Shipbuild-
ers’ quint leading by a 12 to 5
score. ,

The second period saw the win-
ners pull away to a bigger lead,
the half ending with the winners!

found the meshes frequently in
the first half and ran up the
points which defeated the cadets,
they having scored 17 points to
Newport News 12 in the second
half. The 11-point point lead,
however, was too much to over-
come and the cadets could only
come within six points during the
half.

Just as the losers were nearing
the Shipbuilders’ score, Bach and
Welsh were banished from the
game through the personal foul
route. Captain Wheeler of the
Newport News team was also ex-
pelled from the fracas in the
half.

While Bach and Wheeler were
the stars of the game, Malone,
forward of the losers, gained high
point honors by scoring 13 points
and his long shots in the closing

part of the last quarter were

brilliant.
