Debaters Meet Princeton Men Here On April 8 Morrow, Moore and Plummer Chosen To Argue Adver- tising Question. FRESHMAN DEBATER ON W. AND L. TEAM J. R. Moore Won Honors In High School, Took Na- tional Oratory Title. . The only debate which will be held on the Washington and Lee campus this year will be on April 8 with Princeton. This debate will be taken down by court reporters and published in the University Debater’s An- nual for next year. The arrange- ment is on a home and home ba- sis and Washington and Lee’s team will travel to Princeton for the event next year. The question is: Resolved, That national adver- tising as now carried on is social- ly and economically harmful. Washington and Lee will uphold the negative side of this question, while Princeton will argue on the affirmative. Three Compose Team. The members of the Washing- ton and Lee team and their ex- perience is as follows: R. O. Morrow is a member of the junior class and of the Ar- cades club. This is his second year on the team. He made the Northern trip with the debaters last year and talked against Maryland and Johns Hopkins. He was also a member of the team which debated Florida here. He has worked with the squad all of this year and is a very experi- enced man. Morrow is the first speaker for the Washington and Lee debaters. Fresman Won Honors. J. R. Moore, who is the second speaker, is a member of the freshman class and of the Kappa Alpha social fraternity. This is his first college debate, but he has worked on the squad all year. Moore won the United States championship in the high school oratorical contest last year, and placed third in the international contest, representing the United States, last fall. W. A. Plummer, the third speaker, is an'intermediate law- yer and a member of the Sigma Chi social fraternity. This is his fourth year on the team. He was the mainstay of the debaters on the recent Chicago trip. He has been a member of the debating council for three years, and is manager of the team this year. Plummer represented the school in the oratorical contest two years ago, and is also a member of Delta Sigma Rho, which is a national fraternity for recognition of dis- tinguished success in intercollegi- ate debating. Opponents Honor Men. The Princeton team is compos- ed of a trio of men, all of whom are of outstanding ability. John Edgar Thiele, class of 1929. Mr. Thiele comes from Ma- plewood, New Jersey. He pre- pared for Princeton at Columbia High school, Maplewood, where he was active in debating and dra- matics. He has been in varsity debates for three years, and was a member of the team that met Oxford this fall. At present, he is chairman of the Princeton Speakers union and manager of debate. Last June he won first prize in the annual junior ora- torical contest. Mr. Thiele is a member of the Princeton Elm club. Met Oxford. William Wallace Haynes, class of 1930. Comes from Bristol, Tennessee. He prepared at the Bristol High school and Mount Hermon. He, also, was a member of the debating team that met Oxford this fall. Karl Holt Kreder, class of 1931. Mr. Kreder comes from Chevy Chase, Maryland. He prepared at Occidental, Los Angeles, Califor- His outstanding ability gained him a place on the "var- sity team in his freshman year, and he has taken part in many debates this year. All the members of the team are honor men. ‘not a national figure. Rockne Played Big Part In Selecting_New Coach Seventy-five Men Applied For Coaching Position—Oberst Chosen Upon Recommendation Of Notre Dame Mentor. How the coach committee, swamped with seventy-five appli- cations from football coaches, turned to Knute Rockne, Notre Dame coach, to pick a mentor, and how he chose Eugene Oberst, was revealed yesterday afternoon. Steps taken by the committee during the winter months when every student had the “Who will be the next coach?” question on his lips, were told by Forrest Fletcher, pyhsical director, who with Captain Dick Smith and Ned Graham, considered the applica- tions. ' A friendship begun at Notre Dame between Coach Rockne and Coach Fletcher was directly re- sponsible for Coach Oberst’s se- lection. Wanted Best Coach. Confronted by applications which became more numerous with each mail, the committee was lost on who they should pick for coach. It was impossible to meet each applicant personally, yet their duty was to pick a man who had ability to turn out a successful football team. Undecided on what steps to take, it was suggested they con- sult the nationally famous foot- ball coach, Rockne. As Mr. Fletcher was a friend of Rockne’s, he went to South Bend. On February 10 he and Coach Rockne went into a conference and con- sidered the men. Rockne Picked Oberst. The Notre Dame coach imme- diately picked Oberst from the other applicants, among which were eight Notre Dame men. So Coach Fletcher returned to Wash- ington and Lee, to tell his fellow committeemen of Rockne’s choice. Negotiations began with Oberst. A two-year contract was signed Thursday a week ago. Coach Oberst stands 6 feet 5 inches, weighing 225 pounds. He played in the Notre Dame line for three years, starting in 1921, next to Adam Walsh, a center, who Rockne says, is the best cen- ter he has ever seen play. Oberst has been assistant line coach at DePauw university, a school of about 1,000 boys and 800 girls, for the past year. Coach Is Track Star. Besides coaching football he will probably coach the weight events in track. He threw the javelin 200 feet 5 inches in the 1924 Olympics at Paris, placing third. He was the only Ameri- can who has ever placed in this event in any Olympic. “Rockne told me Oberst is one of the coming coaches,” Mr. Fletcher said yesterday. “He felt sure we could not make a mis- take in selecting him. Oberst is He’ has been associated with only small mid-Western colleges, which offer- ed little opportunity.” ‘ Fletcher Satisfield. “The Way I feel about the new coach right now, I would just as soon he would be here for the rest of his life. I’m satisfied. I, have confidence in Rockne’s choice, not only because he is an excellent coach, but also because he is a friend,” were Mr. Fletcher’s comments. > Although it was practically cer- tain Rockne’s choice would be the committee’s choice,.Mr. Fletcher and Captain Dick each continued to interview‘ applicants until shortly before the contract was made. Ten coaches came to‘Lex- ington and a number of others were seen when the committee- men were on athletic trips. Asked if the committee was partial to the Rockne system be- fore they started to sift the ap- plicants, the physical director said: Only One Qualification. “No, we believed the Rockne system would be better suited to the type of men at Washington and Lee than the Warner system, which requires more man-power, but we did not set this among the qualifications. “The only qualification we made was that the coach must be a full- time coach. Washington and Lee is a small school, and to turn out good teams it must get every available man. A full-time coach can do this better than one that is not on the campus year ’round.” Coach Oberst will move to Lex- ington with his wife early in the summer to make his home. The new coach visited Lexing- ton last week, but made no state- ments about his probable success next fall. Three-Year Contract Offered. “We offered him a three-year contract,” Mr. Fletcher said, dis- cussing the’ coach’s views, “but he turned it down. He said he would rather make it just for two, and if at the end of that time he had not made a success he would be moving along.” Oberst succeeds Pat Herron, who for three years coached the varsity. Herron resigned during the latter part of last December. The committee, Mr. Fletcher, Cap- tain Dick Smith, graduate mana-’ ger of athletics, and Ned Graham, an alumnus, was at that time se- lected to fill the vacancy. o:____ HILL WINS SCHOLARSHIP. I. W. Hill has been awarded the journalism scholarship for the Washington and Lee Sigma Delta Chi chapter. The award was an- nounced by Roy L. French, di- rector of journalism at the Uni- versity of Southern California. Hill by possessing the highest grades in journalism of any mem- ber of the local chapter, wins the privilege of wearing a gold scholarship key. 250 One-Dollar Checks Cashed Each Day By Student Stores Students at Washington and Lee spend approximately $6,000 a week on things other than neces- sities. This estimate was made after three of the most popular student stores in Lexington were visited. Reportsfrom the cash- iers of these stores show that no less than $5,000 in checks are cashed by them. Banks, restau- rants, pool rooms, and other stores can easily account for an- other thousand dollars in checks made to cash. Most of the money is spent in small amounts for various things that attract the student. Several students, upon being questioned, said that most of their money went for movies. drinks, pool, and late breakfasts. Trips over the Week-end, however, account for a large amount of the money. By a little division it is calculated that the average Washington and Lee student spends well over five dollars a week for the things just mentioned. One-dollar checks lead the list of amounts. An average of 250 one-dollar checks are cash- ed by the three stores every day. Five-dollar checks are the next of any importance. Almost $400 in five-dollar checks are cashed each day. Ten-dollar checks ac- count for nearly half of that amount. Very few checks of over ten dollars are made out to_cash. easily During week-ends most of the check cashing is done. An aver- age of slightly over $700 in checks is cashed the first four days of every week. On Fridays and Saturdays, however, the amount jumps to nearly fifteen hundred‘ dollars a day. During Fancy‘ Dress season one popular store alone cashed over one thou- sand dollars in checks in two days. i For the large number of checks cashed a comparatively small number come back “cold,” it was learned.

Continued nightly practice of the Troubadours on “The Haunt- ed House,” comedy by Owen Davis, under Al Collison, president, has been carried through the week in an effort to round the production into shape by April 1, the open- ing date. The construction of the scenic effects under Tom Fitzhugh have been started and are nearly com- pletion. Virtually all the cos- tumes have been selected by Joe Broadus. Van Gilbert, business manager of the organization, after much correspondence, has arranged a tentative itinerary, to be approved by the dean and faculty commit- tee on dramatics. It is as fol- lows: . Monday night, April 1—East Radford, Va. Tuesday night, April 2—Blue- field, W. Va. Wednesday Marion, Va. Thursday night, April 4~—Abing- don, Va. Friday night, April 5—Bristol, Va.-Tenn. The performances at these places will be sponsored by vari- ous civic, school and alumni or- ganizations. The cast will make the trip in a special bus and will be accompanied by a faculty member. The trip will be taken during part of the Easter holi- days and continuing through the rest of the week. The exact number to make this trip will be announced at a later date. 0..jj—:_ Redeye,_ Latest Student Malady, Has 20 Victims night, April 3— Apparently we have been seeing the same eyes twice. The young horde of dark glasses loose on the campus in the past two weeks re- solves itself into a mere matter of some twenty cases of pink- eye, according to a statement of Dr. Reid White, Jr. ‘ While the disease is highly con- tagious, Dr. White said, it is by no means dangerous, although pa- tients should be careful not to strain their eyes through read- ing. The course of pink-eye is generally about four or five days, although there are cases among students that have run two and three weeks. Symptoms are a reddening of the eyes, swelling, and a mucous condition about the Boric acid is the pre- scribed remedy, with, of course, the regular dark glasses, pink, blue, black, and green, that have been so warmly welcomed by the aesthetes of the student body. Mattingly (Cets Grades March‘ 25 Professors will hand in their mid-semeste1' reports to the reg- istrar on Monday, March 25. Students will be able to get their marks about three days later from Mr. Mattingly if they have not previously gotten them from their professors. These grades will be sent home to parents of the students but they are not permanently record- ed on the University’s records. Swing Towards Less Fraternity Horseplay Noted Oyer Country Recent Initiations Show W. & L. Chapters Falling In Line———Campus Leaders Make Comments On Tendency. By ROBERT S. CHAPIN. Fraternity initiations are now a thing of the past, and a review of the season shows a definite tendency existing toward more fraternal spirit in initiations and less beating. Apparently ‘Washington and Lee is falling in line with campus sentiment of the rest of the coun- try. Horseplay has been complete- ly and finally abolished at the University of Texas by voluntary action of the student body, and it is understood that similar ac tion has been taken by the stu- dents of Ohio State, Allegheny college, University of Cincinnati. Wake Forest, and V. M. I., our neighbor. Opinion Turned. Opinion has definitely turned against that time-honored tradi- tion of Hell Week and its mock- ery of fraternal spirit. With the decision of a large majority of the Washington and Lee fraternities to minimize horse- Many Alumni Attracted By Governorship Several Graduates Of W.&L. Are Good Gubernatorial ‘Timber. ' If present indications come true, the next governor of Vir- ginia stands a very good chance of being a graduate of this Uni- versity, since a large majority of the “possibilities” have attend- ed Washington and Lee. Thus‘ far only two men have formally announced their candi- dacy, James G. Potter of Wil- liamsburg and Lieutenant-Gover- nor Junius E. West of Suffolk, who was graduated with the class of ’97. Among the men who have been mentioned for the post, but have not announced their candidacy, four of the most prominent are W. and L. alumni. They are: Stockton Heth Tyler, ’09, present mayor of Norfolk and father of J. H. Tyler, a sophomore here; James H. Price, ’08, of Richmond; Harry St. George Tucker, ’77, of Lexington, United States congress- man; and George C. Peery, prom- inent lawyer of Tazewell, United States congressman from the Ninth district and father of A. G. Peery, a junior in the academic school here. Among the republicans mention- ed are: Henry W. Anderson, ’97, of Richmond; T. K. Parsons, B. L., '21, of Roanoke, and John G. Anderson, B. L., ’23, of Bristol, Va. ________0__.____ Chrysler To Erect Tallest Skyscraper Walter P. Chrysler, the motor magnate, has recently announced details for the construction of the tallest skyscraper in the world, which will be a personal enter- prise of the automobile builder. - The building, sixty-eight stories tall, will dominate the Grand Cen- tral district in New York city. The new Chrysler building will occupy the site facing on Lex- ington avenue between Forty-sec- ond and Forty-three streets. The cost of the new structure is es- timated at $15,000,000. Rising‘ 809 feet, the Chrysler building will exceed the long famed Woolworthlbuilding by sev- enteen fet. The building proper will be fifty-six stories, above which will rise a dome of twelve stories. ‘ Excavation for the new build- ing is already under way. play and to limit it to inside of the various houses, old men saw last month the initiation of some 170 pledges under conditions en- tirely new for this University. Sigma Nu’s Set Record. The S. A. E. chapter this year reduced their beating from 350 licks to six, had numerous goat plays, enjoyed mutually by pledges and old men, and carried on their horseplay entirely within the house. The Sigma Nu’s set a new low record by giving their goats only two licks. Pi Kappa Phi’s followed with ‘the “paddingless brigade” and gave their pledges only six licks. Whether or not this leniency will have any effect on the atti- tude of the freshmen is yet to be seen, but is much to be doubted. College men feel they should not have to rely on a paddle to make younger men respect them. It is also felt that the new fraternity men appreciate their affiliations as much as the most thoroughly beaten of old men. Leaders Express Views. Interviews with prominent mem- Tiers of the student body and the faculty show the sentiment of the men who are in touch with all phases of campus life. In regard to beating and horseplay we have the following quotations: Dr. Henry Louis Smith—"‘I am thoroughly in sympathy with any movement to eliminate horseplay from our campus life. ‘Hell Week’ is in my opinion a hellish transformation of the fraternity spirit and the fraternity oppor- tunity, which should combine to make the fraternity initiation the happiest and most inspiring occa- sion in a freshman’s college years.” Disapproves Beating.’ John Bell Towill, Student Body President-“I think the wholesale beating of pledges and promiscu- ous shining is an adolescent atti- tude wholely out of place on this campus. The initiation should aim primarily to foster friendship and understanding between old men and freshmen. Shines should ab- solutely be for the mutual enjoy- ment of both pledges and old men, and I think that shining outside of the fraternity houses smacks of prep school horseplay.” W. J. Dorsey——“I have no sympathy for public fraternity ‘shines.’ I believe that such prac- tices are in discord with the true ideals of a fraternity, and hope that we have seen the last of them on the Washington and Lee campus.” Approves Editorial Policy. H. T. “Heinie” Groop——“I am against public initiations of any kind, and I’m' glad to see the Ring-tum Phi editors are making an attempt to eliminate them.” Peyton R. Harrison——“Horse— play is out of place in modern fraternity and university life. It is a relic of days when no legiti- mate forms of amusement existed in small college towns, and is far removed from the idea of life preparation which should be up- permost in the minds of college students. I am heartily in ac- cord with all efforts to do away with it at Washington and Le." J. C. Wilbourn——“I am utterly opposed to public ‘shines’ as a part of fraternity initiations. They cease to be even ridiculous when carried to such an extent, and become vicious.” No Credit In “Shines.” G. N. Lowdon——“Yes, I thor- oughly disapprove public ‘shines.’ They are perpetrated by infantile minds, and bring no credit on the fraternity or university.” George H. Lanier, Jr.-“Public ‘horseplay’ should not be tolerat- ed by a fraternity. It is a nefari- ous form of amusement for the upper classmen, and though it might be expected in high school, it is entirely, out of place in col- lege.” OCR::/Vol_033/WLURG39_RTP_19290316/WLURG39_RTP_19290316_002.2.txt , legheny college, and Lehigh have taken PAGE TWO Cilhr Ring-tum ifllii (ESTABLISHED 1897) :_a WASHINGTON AND LEE UNIVERSITY SEMI-WEEKLY Member of the Virginia Intercollegiate Press Association.

Fraternities all over the United States have had their childhood. They have wound their way through the trammels of adolescent growth. And now they begin to mature. Fraternalism can serve a worthy purpose as ’a social institution in educational life-— if the mind of the average fraternity 111311 has outgrown sadism. College editors all over the country have assailed the traditional “Hell Week.” The Miami Student says the tradition is doom- ed. “It is disappearing via the bustle and long skirt route never to return and 1S being pushed that way by the same medium that caused these two abnormal articles of wear to disappear——common sense.’’ » Ohio State, the University of Texas, Al- “fraternal degrees.” They have been grad- uated from the elementary and childish practice of “horseplay.” Last fall the Inter-Fraternity Council convention went on record as opposed to rough initiation. At Washington and Lee a spirit has risen opposed to the public beating of fraternity neophytes during initiation week. That spirit shows development, and, with its ba- sis of common sense, can never be halted until “horseplay” is abolished. College Ixions, Prometheuses, and Sisy- phuses, are being released. The “King of Hades” has lost his power. Fraternalism takes a firm stand as a powerful and developmental institution in the education of American youth. u :_———?:OMj_:. WHAT IS A SHAMROCK? Tomorrow, St. Patrick’s day, will find the coat lapel of many a true Irishman adorned with a smalhgreen, three-petaled flower, which will be called a shamrock. But what is a shamrock? This is a ques- tion that has stumped botanists for years. It appears that even Irishmen do not know what’ a shamrock is. According to legend, a shamrock will not grow in any country other than Ireland, but the flow- ers designated as shamrocks have been found in other countries. The hop clover is generally termed a shamrock by most Irish. It grows abundantly in the island and is each year exported in quantities to England and America for St. Patrick day celebrations, but it grows also in other parts of the world. The _whiteclover is the shamrock of many Irish, while in America the Vermont state flower, the red clover, is called a shamrock. M.

Officials of the University have finally taken a forward step to improve the looks of the campus. Last week signs of “No Parking” were plased between the Univer- sity dining hall and Lee dormitory. And in last Wednesday’s issue of the RING- TUM PHI appeared an article stating that the University planned to construct a con- crete_ wall around the lawn in front of the gymnasium. The RING-TUM PHI has felt all year that the conditions around the gymnasium were in an abomnible condition and some improvements should be made immediately. The announcement of the improvements is a source of gratitude. Washington and Lee is a great historic institution and deserves to have its campus kept neat and in a presentable condition at all times. With no place furnished for parking cars students have had to resort to the lawn in front of the gym, and as a result deep ruts have been cut across the sod and the growing grass has been growing against odds. The RING-TUM PHI wishes to take this opportunity to congratulate those respon- sible for this step and to assure the Uni- versity authorities unlimited backing through its columns in urging students to observe “No Parking” signs and try in every way to make Washington and Lee have a neat campus which every student will be proud to exhibit to all visitors to Lexington. —_.:M He—I’ve come to a conclusion.

The examples, though a bit different, embody the same prin- ciple. Both constitute the taking of something which one does not rightfully possess and is a dishonorable act. Recently, sixteen volumes have disappeared from the Carnegie library. Twelve of these books are classified as “required reading” and are in great demand by many students. We believe these books have been taken with no intention of dishonesty, we would hate to think otherwise. No doubt these _ volumes have been removed to_improper places so that one may have freer access to reading at leisure moments, but this does not lessen the offense any more than if they had been taken with the intention of theft. To remove a book from the Library or conceal it within the Library constitutes a flagrant violation of the Honor System and the offender, once apprehended, is subject to expulsion from the University by the Executive Committee for a breach of the Honor System. “I never knew the removal or concealment of a book to be a breach (iii Hit‘ iiuimif -."-,_w:-»2' III,‘ ‘we, can readily inizigiiie aiii oi 1"endci' saying to liiniscil, but it does embody a violation ,oi the Honor Systeni.

The Library has, for free distribution, a handbook which states clearly all rules g()V'£'rlllI1g‘ the Carnegie Library. [These handbooks are given to all persons using the Library for the first time. The RING-TUM PHI published, March 23, 1920, oifenses which are regulated under the Honor System by the Executive Committee of the student body. A section of the code, referring to the use of Library books, appears on posters in the Library, thus one has no excuse for ignorance. The rule states specifically that the “removal, concealment, or mutilation of books or any other printed matter, contrary to the rules of the respective libraries," is a violation of the Honor System and the offender is subject to drastic punishment: Books are placed in the library with free access to any and all.students and should remain there, except when permission is granted by the librarian for their removal.$ I In a letter posted in the Carnegie library, John Bell Towill, president of the student body, writes:__\v “Ignorance of them (library regulations) is therefore due to wilful "negligence and will not be considered an excuse. volumes from the library) and that of hiding books constitute a breach of the Honor System and will be strictly prosecuted as such.” It should be clear to students that the removal of books or their concealment from the proper and designated places is a flagrant violation of Library rules and constitutes a violation of the Honor System. One may rest assured if he is apprehended in breaking any of the above mentioned rules that he is subject to immediate dismissal from the University. We sincerely trust those who have removed books from the Library through ignorance and without intention of breaking a rule will speedily return the unaccounted for volumes, and re- member that he is seriously endangering himself by such a He is bringing a stain upon his good name. The RING-TUM PHI feels that the Executive Committee of the student body is perfectly justified in resorting to any drastic measures it sees fit in abolishing such a shameful and disgrace- ful practice, and that those apprehended should be strictly practice. prosecuted.

After a year and a half survey of collegians in all sections of the (country, Rev. Glenn observes that drinking and petting are dimin- ishing, and are merely gestures of “this so called revolt of youth.” “Two years ago saw the lowest moral trend among students,” Rev. Glenn asserted. “Today conditions are much better.” Rev. Glenn stated that the stu- dent is not interested in the church but is intensely interested in re- ligion.

Team In State Meet Basketball Team Was Ruled Out For Playing In Tournament Here. Because they played in the South Atlantic prep and high school tournament here last week the Princeton (W. Va.) High school basketball team was barred from participation at West Virginia high school championship tourna- ment at West Virginia Wesleyan college in Buckhannon. When the Princeton squad re- -turned last week from Lexington, after having been defeated in their third game of the tourna- ment by Emerson institute, they found a message awaiting Coach Rhodes from the state athletic board informing him his team had been disqualified because of its participation in a tournament out- side of the state. Won Right. The Princeton team had won the Athens section of the state elimination tournaments three weeks previous and had a place in the state tournament. On receiving the message, Coach Rhodes made efforts to have the board rescind their ac- tion. Finding their requests un- able to move the board, the Princeton officials appealed to Judge H. M. Tanner of the Mer- cer county circuit court for a re- straining injunction. The judge granted this Thursday. Out of Drawing. Accompanied by school officials and their attorneys, the team left for the state meet. The Prince- ton team had not been considered in the drawing for tournament games and other team had been chosen as an alternate. I After the injunction was served members of the state board and Princeton officials went into a conference. After consideration the Princeton team was fully re- instated. Refuse To Enter. What effect the state board’s action would have on the Prince- ton team was not known until this morning when the coach made the following statement to mem- bers of the board and tournament committee: ' “I, C. H. Rhodes, coach of Princeton High school, after the board of appeals has reinstated my team and permitted it to en- ter the tournament, and in con- sideration of the management and officials of said tournament, do hereby agree that I will not en- ter my team in said tournament, thereby inconveniencing or dis- rupting the drawings of the thirty-two teams as selected.” Although the Princeton team declined to enter the tournament, it won a victory over the board which would have disbarred them from further participation in oth- er athletic contests within the state. Send Telegram. So determined were the Prince- ton squad that they should not be barred, they wired members of the Pi Kappa Alpha fraternity where they stayed while in Lex- ington: “If Princeton doesn't play in the state tournament, there will not be any tourpament.” The victory by Princeton won something many high schools in the state have never been able to win. The board can now place no restriction on West Virginia high schools participating in out- of-state tournaments, and the Washington and Lee athletic asso- ciation expects more teams from West Virginia to enter the tour- nament here next year. _____0______ Count Carlo Sforza, an Italian diplomat, is giving a course in recent diplomatic developments in Europe at Connecticut Wesleyan.

St. John's of Annapolis, Mary- land, gained the previously open date on the General football schedule. The Maryland aggre- gation will be met in Lexington on November 9. The baseball league, which Cap- tain Dick organized last year with all the schools represented with the exception of Duke, was ap- proved and schedules were adopt- ed. The schedule for 1929 has already been released and in 1930 will be the same except for the change in dates. The league will open on the first Tuesday in April without Duke, who has shown no inclination to put a team in the. field either this year or in 1930. It was decided ‘that the Ameri- can League baseball rules would replace those of the National League who were in vogue last year in the conference. The de- cision reached was due to the fact that the National League al- lows a foreign substance to be used on the ball while the Amer- ican League does not.

There are at present fifty-three candidates for the degree of Bach- elor of Arts in the University. Three men finished the required work for the degree in January and one of these is now on his M. A. One will receive both the degree of B. A. and of M. A. at the Commencement exercises. Almost all of the men have de- cided what they are going to do next year, in fact, a higher per- centage of B. A. candidates have definite plans for next fall than the candidates oithe other schools. Medical work claims the atten- tion of the greatest number as twelve have chosen this as their profession. Six will study for master degrees. Six will enter the profession of law, and four will take up journalism as a life work. Only One For Church. As usual the graduates will be scattered all over the United ‘States and some will be working if: foreign fields. It is unusual that only one will prepare for the ministry and also that one will take up forestry as a means of livelihood. C. V.

Leigh Williams was honored by being placed on the second team by Sermon, and Cox was honored by Tebell with forward berth on his second five. This is a signal hon- or for both Williams and Cox as it is very seldom that men re- ceive consideration for the myth- ical’ quintets unless their team reaches the semi-finals. ‘ » Tebell selected his forwards as follows: Selby, Mississippi; Counciller, Duke; Palmer, Geor- gia; and Cox, Washington and Lee. For centers: Goodwin of State and Croson of Duke. At the guards: Johnson and Warren, State; Laird, Mississippi, and Werber, Duke. In selecting his mythical fives Sermon differed somewhat from Tebell.

G. McElroy, featured the meeting of the Custis Lee Engineering The Washington railroad tun- nel, a seven and one-half mile bore through the Cascade range in the Pacific Northwest, recently completed at a cost of $25,000,000, was discussed in detail. McElroy remarked on some of the many difficulties in tunnel construction, speaking of the pockets of quick- sand around which engineers have to curve the tunnel until founda- tions can be secured or somel means found to bridge these pockets. Professor Lyle commented on the talk, and added remarks on some world famous tunnels as the Simplon, under the Alps and un- til recently the longest in the world, the Hoboken tunnel, first bore under the Hudson, in build- ing which a cave-in resulted in the drowning of almost a score of workmen, and the new Con- shohacken tunnel, which carries New York city’s water under the Hudson. 0_____ Thirteen students have been suspended from the University of S.

Soon they were cavorting on the grass, giving an impromptu spring dance. The fact that they were scantily attired in pajamas did not worry them. As it was late, they thought everyone in the neighborhood would -be in bed. This proved to‘ be the trouble. The neighbors were in bed, and this impromptu party seemed to annoy them. The clanging of the police bell made the students hes- itate and consider flight. But they decided to stay and watch the fun. In a few minutes two policemen approached. The students stopped the victrola and shrank into the _shadow~ of the trees. The police- men soon found them, however, with the aid of their flashlgihts. ‘‘You’ll have to cut this out, boys,” one of them said. “Why, what’s the matter?” was the innocent answer. “Are we disturbing anyone?” “Yes,” the cop replied, "‘the whole neighborhood. Complaints have been coming —in, so you’ll have to stop this. It’s time you were in bed anyway, and besides you aint’t even dressed.” The students docilely consented to retire for the night, and taking their victrola with them, went into the house.
