The campus lawn is receiving its first cutting today. Caretakers started running their mowers over parts of it yesterday. VOLUME WASHINGTON LEE UNIVERSITY, SATURDAY, MARCH 30, 1929. L.__ 1. __._____ ‘J __ I Dr. iToiRemain Here Until January Abandbhs Plans Had Contemplated Taking Over Business Interests July 1. JOHN W. DAVIS l\lAK<.i’% SUGGESTION TO BOARD Would Wait Until Right Man Is Available For Position. Dr. aside hi's personal plans to enter North Thursday and acceded to an ur- of the of trustes that he remain president until January 1, 1930. Henry Louis Smith threw business in Carolina gent request board A unanimous resolution asking Dr. Smith to remain here until a worthy successor could be select- ed was passed by the executive committee of the board in special meeting Tuesday. Advice of John W. Davis, Now‘ of the board, resolu- York, a member prompted the trustees’ tion. Decides To Remain. Dr. Smith considered the re- quest for two days before he mailed his acceptance letter to the trustees on Thursday. He will ‘remain with Washington and Lee until next January 1 by which time the trustees expect to have selected a successor. Fear of the consequences to the University if a temporary substitute placed in the presi- dent’s chair was one of the strongest reasons actuating Dr. Smith to remain with the school until next year, it is said. Plans Thrown Aside. Dr. Smith had planned to take over business interests in North Carolina, to write, and to travel, but these plans were thrown aside for the “welfare and maintenance of Washington and Lee,” as he expressed it in his letter to the trustees. ‘Dr. Smith resigned October 11, 1928, because he reaches the re- tiring age of seventy this year. Next»year, when seventy-one, he will climax eighteen years as president of Washington and Lee. During the administration of Dr. Smith the University has seen a period of faster growth than in any past administration. Despite the coming of the war about the middle of his admin- istration, two of the largest build- ings on the campus were built. The Doremum Memorial gymna- sium, 'the Chemistry building and placing of the University on an “A” grade scholastic rating _/are outstanding monuments to ‘Dr. Smith’s administration. Pass Resolution. The resolution passed by the board follows: “In view of the fact that a president has not yet been elected to succeed Dr. Henry Louis Smith, the executivei committee of the board of trusees request President Smith to continue his work at the University until the first of January, 1930, with the expectation that by that time they will have secured a new president. They earnestly ask Dr. Smith to so adjust his plans as to be able to comply with this request. The Reply. Dr. Smith's answer follows: “To answer your request of March 26 in the affirmative and retain the duties of the presi- dency until January 1 will break up all my personal plans for the coming summer and fall. Yet I have never allowed personal plans to outweigh the welfare and maintenance of Washington and Lee. Agreeing most heartily with you that to place the insti- tution on July 1 in the hands of a temporary substitute would be quite harmful, I hereby lay aside my own plans and will defer my resignation till January 1, 1930.” NO ISSUE OF PAPER WEDNESDAY, JOHNSTON There will be no issue of the Ring-tum Phi next Wed-_ nesday, Henry Johnston, edi- tor, announced yesterday. Due to the large number of students who are leaving Lexington for the Easter holi- days, including many stafi members, it was decided to abandon the regular Wednes- day issue. The Saturday issue will appear as usual. By skipping a publication date there will be no less in the specified number of issues Lhat must be printed, Johnston said. The staff agrees to publish sixty issues each year, excluding the Finals issue, and it has already published forty- seven. The remaining thirteen will fill out the year on regu- ; lar date. Colgate Plays Opening Game Of its Season Generals With Only Four Veterans This Afternoon Face The Maroon of Colgate is here today. Following close upon the heels of Princeton, the Hamil- ton, New York, nine will ‘engage Captain Dick Smith’s protéges this afternoon in their first game of the season. With only four veterans of other campaigns left with which to form a nucleus for" his dia- mond representatives of the cur- rent season, the "Colgate mentor will have to experiment with the new men on the squad during their sojourn in the Southern climes. ‘ Four Veterans. Only Captain Gardner, veteran hurler; Hagy, first baseman; Enoch, a catcher and Colgate’s great athlete, Bonacker, an in- filder of the invaders have heen service in a Maroon uniform be- fore. All four are almost certain- ties to start the game this after- noon unless something‘ unseen arises. Of the rest of the Col- gate nine it remains to be seen what they can do. For the Generals, Williams, Ja- cobs, White, and Thibodeau in the infield; Slanker, Lowdon and Richardhon or Wright in the out- field have the edge on the rest of the squad in the matter of starting the game. Catcher In Doubt. Behind the bat Litttman, Talia- ferro, and Fields may start, all according to who assumes the hurling role. In the games play- ed Littman and Taliaferro have exhibited a steady game, but are not setting the world on fire by their work at the plate. This will mark the initial con- test for the Maroon of a four- game trip and the last home game for the Generals before they take their annual jaunt Monday into North Carolina, meeting Duke, North Carolina, and North Carolina State on suc- cessive days. Trustees Ask President To Make Address The executive committee of the board of trustees threw down the gauntlet of tradition this week and requested the president of the University to deliver the com- mencemnt speech in June. Dr. Henry Louis Smith has not accepted yet and will make no statement on .whether he intends to accept or not. Heretofore the custom has been to ask an outside speaker to de- liver the address. It is thought the proximity of Dr. Smith’s re- tirement prompted the ‘trustees’ unusual request.

FINANCIAL SUCCESS SEEMS TO BE ASSURED Collegians Prove To Be Draw- ing Card; Play For Dances. The the Easter presentation, “The Haunt- Troubadour cast of ed House,” comedy by Owen Da- vis, will leave from the New the- atre Monday morning, April 1, at 9 o’clock on their annual spring tour. Thirty-five men, including Prof. Marcellus H. Stowe, faculty ad- visor, will make the trip, Van Gilbert, manager, said. Two buses have been chartered to car- ry the troupe and equipment. The Southern Collegians, famed Dixie band, will accompany the Troubadours and play during the intervals between acts and per- haps at one or two dances spon- sored by the organization, Gil- bert stated. Eleven members, in- cluding Graham Morison, direc- tor, will fill the second bus. . The First Show. The troupe will first go to Rad- ford, Virginia, where they will make their first public presen- tation. Then to Bluefield, West Virginia, that night and the next day. After the show in Blue- field there will be. a dance given to which all members of the toupe will be invited. For the performance on Wed- nesday, April 3, the Troubadours will swing back into Virginia and render their presentation at Ma- rion. They will also spend the night there. Then on to Bristol after the show at Abingdon. Friday night the cast will have opportunity to rest and attend a dance, already planned in honor of the traveling players. Satur- day afternoon the Southern Col- legians may play at a dance spon- sored by the student bodies of Virginia Intermont college and Sullins college. Both schools have been negotiating “with the or- chestra, but it is not sure whether they will play or not. The troupe will turn north toward Lexing- ton after the Bristol presentation and are expected to arrive home sometime Sunday. Success Indicated. “Indications so far have point- ed toward a successful trip from a financial standpoint. Several letters have been received from the various towns in which the organization will go, and all are most encouraging,” Gilbert said. .eservations for the full trav- eling troupe have been made in the best hotels in the towns in which the show will stop. Ad- vance publicity has been sent out by Bob Powers, and is being fol- lowed up with cuts of the vari-- ous scenes in the play and also of the Southern Collegians. Collegians Drawing Card. “The advent of the Southern Collegians making the trip has certainly boosted the chances of making the show pay,” the man- ager said. “Already several re- sponses from various individuals have been received due to the advance publicity of the orches- tra’s accompanying the Trouba- dour cast,” he said. Rehearsals have been held nightly in the New theatre all this week under direction of Al Collison, director and president of the organization. A full dress rehearsal will be held Sunday for faculty approval. This will be the first complete presentation. ——jo The University of California has established a new university, a “University of the Air.” The school is co-operating with the state department of education and the Radio Corporation of America in establishing this new means of instruction. "Ole George” Forgivesa '32’s Says Class Is “Thought- ful Bunch,” Must Be Weather Prophets. “Ole George” is a gentleman. Expecting him to call the gods’ wrath down on the freshmen for painting him blue, black, red and yellow last night, a reporter in- terviewed the statue this morn- ing. “A sorry lot, these freshmen,” .he reporter ventured. “Oh, I don’t know, I have seen worse. I’m not so badly painted. It’ll all come out in the wash. This toga cleans easily and the red on my face will come off’. No, they are not as bad as that class who filled me full of nails the other that tarred and feathered me.” .)I' “They are f01'given then?” They are a thoughtful ounch. They must be weather prophets. See this slicker on my arm; it came in mighty handy last night, and the little hat kept “Sure. the waves in my hair.” “Say, are those paddles in your hand?” “That’s right,_ wooden paddles. What shall I do with them? Guess I’ll just keep ’em until someone tries to put nails in me again, but when Mattingly and Paul Penick send men up to whitewash me, they may take them avsfay. They’ll have me looking pretty good soon, and that destestable flag will come down.” The statue pointed to the flag with “1932” on it. “Isn’t it rather disrespectful for freshmen to disturb you?” said the reporter preparing to leave. “It might be,” “George” mus- ed, stroking his chin, “but life is like that.” Spriiiffigdiis leaves .Cainpiis 330 Guardians One Day Cut From Annual Vacation Will Be Taken During Dance Set. Two days of Easter holidays, and some 600 of Washington and Lce’s 900 students are already off for home, for New York, Wash- ington, Lynchburg, and all the popular points in between. With only 300 students left Lexington is assuming, in spite of spring and all that, a somewhat deso- lated appearance. Freshman night Friday, the Generals won a ball from Princeton. Saturday, an- other game with Colgate, and then the remaining band will in part leave for the short holidays. Lexington will be still more de- serted. The place of the regular three days’ vacation at Easetr the Uni- versity gets only two this year, the third being saved to provide a holiday before the Easter dances April 19 and 20. Accord- ing to regular faculty ruling cuts taken on the four days preceding and following Easter will count double. Those taken Friday, April 18, will count double, and those tak- en Monday, April 22, following the dances. Double cuts will count toward placing a student on probation, but do not cause a loss of quality credits. They are paper cuts except that taking twice the allotted number of cuts will result in probation even if the cuts so taken are the double ones for the holidays. 0 Illinois Central Promotes Alumnus and game James W. Kern, Jr., ’05, son of Dr. and Mrs. J. W.

To The financing of the greatest week of Washington and Lee’s =chool year depends on student iupport of the last Finals drive, starting next Wednesday, George Lanier, president of Finals, said vesterday. Five days of dancing and par- ties—four night dances and one 'lansant—Final Ball, with a course linncr at midnight—favors for he girls~-Jan Garber and his or- chestra——all this depends on stu- lent support. A budget of some $8,000 cov- ers this most elaborate of Wash- ington and Lee’s social events. To realize this, and to enable the Finals committee to uphold the tradition of a brilliant Finals, every student who intends to stay is expected to contribute $10. All Expected To Contribute. Since Finals is essentially a University enterprise, those few students who are not planning to stay for the festivities are still expected to contribute $5 toward the dances. ‘As a personal investment——as an investment in the University— these $5 and $10 contributions are small enough. However, Lan- ier states that at present -’only a bit over 50 per cent of the student body has done its share——with checks cold and otherwise. Varied Activities. Fi;-.als weeks starts this spring with the Interfraternity Ball the evening of May 31. Baseball, the boat race, dances and teas are thet round of activities until Final Ball, which starts June 4 and runs until six o’clock the morn- ing of the fifth. A five course dinner will be served at midnight of the Final Ball, and favors will be given to the ladies.

Through the ages it has been passed along from class to class until today on most every cam- pus in the world the older men feel it is their duty to chastise the newer seekers of knowledge. Hazing reached its heighth during the sixteenth and seven- teenth centuries in Germany and France, also at this time the “despositio” or final celebration reached its heighth. ' Humiliate Freshman. The “despositio” was the me- lieval scholars’ method of intro- clucing a frehhman into univer- ,:ity life. After the registrar had collected fees from the new ;tudent he was approached by two upper-classmen. They pre- tend not to see him but comment between themselves on the ab- ominable odor in the room. Seek- ing the cause they discover the freshman, who has_usually been so humiliated he is at their mer- cy. ’ Recognizing him as a stranger they ponder over what manner of creaturehe is, reaching the conclusion he must be a beanus.” They M ust Operate. They chaff him about the wild glare in his eye, the length of his hair, the ferocious aspect of his tusks. They conclude the only way to improve him is to oper- ate. A student posing as a physi- cian enters. He brings with him a saw, pincers, pliers, and oth- er tools. After going through the process of clipping the new man’s horns, pulling his teeth, and clipping his hair, he declares the operation has been fatal. The priest is called to hear the confession, which is repeat- ed by the “beanus.” He, there- fore, is made to confess all types of horrible crimes. At the con- clusion he is told the only way to be saved is to furnish the upper-classmen with a sumptous banquet. French Had V. C. It was through this process the new German student passed before he became a member of the University. But in France the universities had a system which stil lhas close models in present universities. The Vigi- lance Committee and its weekly meeting find close parallels in the courts at the University of Abig- non. The Fdench freshman, or “be- jans,” were supposed to be wild beasts that must be civilized be- fore they were true students. A year’s residence was required be- fore they were relieved of the “base name.” Freshman Rules. Among the rules these fresh- men faced were: They must al- ways serve the seniors at the ta- Lles, they must not come near the fire when seniors or juniors were around it, they must not call each other “sir,” and they must always give their places to upper-classmen. Twice each week a court met to try all offenders who were ac- erased by “promoters.” Every time the court met every fresh- man got a lick whether he was a violator or not, ‘and often he (Continued on Page Four). Class Praised Q’: School Officials And Towns- people Term Night “Quiet.” SHOW MANAGEMENT WELCOMES STUDENTS Traditional “Crash” Ends With Invitation To See Picture Free. “The quietest Freshman night in YGEFS,” Was the way Univer- sity officials and townspeople characterized the annual celebra- tion last night. This morning no reports of damage done by wandering mem- bers of the class of ’32 had been reported and it is thought there will be less criticism of this year’s Freshman light than any of the past. Campus walks today presented an unusual appearance to older students and those who have been -in the campus after past Fresh- men celebrations. No painted nu- merals appeared, University build- ings were unmarked, only “Ole George,” the campus statue was arrayed in his customary coating of paint. Freshmen started in on their annual celebration just after dark last night. In bands they wan- dered through the streets shout- ing and laughing, but they did no damage. Just before the first show at the New theatre they began gathering for the tradi- tional “crash,” but to their amazement the management greet- ed them at the door and asked them in. It has been customary for the freshmen with the a fol- lowing of old men to stop the show, but this did not happen last night. On the morning following Freshman night in years gone by, the sidewalks of the campus have been ribbons of carelessly paint- ed figures. Yellow, black, and red figures lingered on the cement for months, some for years, but the class of 1932 left no such marks. Its only mark for pros- terity will be the absence of nu- merals.

George Bernard Shaw, in deny- ing the genuineness of annota- tions purported to have been put by him on a volume of Locke’s “Essay on Human Understand- ing,” wrote, among other things, “-. . . I never disfigure books by underlining them.” Much should be forgiven G. B. for those words. They prove him to be not only a book-lover, but also a lover of books. It is ;trange but true that many peo- )le whose thirst for reading is well nigh insatiable, care nothing for a book,-beyond what they can get out of it. They scribble on its margins, carelessly drop ink and food stains on its pages, lay it down open, thereby breaking its binding, and even—monstrous sacri1ige——turn ‘down corners of the leaves to mark their place! Of course, there are those who feel that a book, once read, is a book finished and done with for- ever. But real books, the books worth rereading and pondering over, are worth being cared for and treated tenderly, like the old and valued friends they are. And once the habit of respect to- ward a bound volume is acquired, one instinctively handles all books with solicitudes. The Ori- entals, with their deep-rooted es-- teem for the printed word, aren’t so far wrong, after all.—Birming- ham Age-Herald.

The chief difference is perhaps clearer enunciation upon the part of the English.” This was the answer of the British movie spe- cialist to the question whether New York English or London English will be the choice of the “talkies.” Although English and American producers differ on this point, all agree English will fast become the international lan- guage. ESTELLE TAYLOR, wife of Jack Dempsey, in a recent inter- view revealed she still has a long- .ng for the legitimate stage. De- zpite the rather awkward “flop” which marked her adventure in “The Big Fight,” with her pugi- listic husband, she still has vi- sions of acting once more in a play built around her. “I was awful in it,” said the actress, discussing the play. “I was awful because my heart wasn’t in it. The play gave me an inferiority complex and each night before I went on I used to weep. The whole play wastfitted to Jack, and somehow or other I didn't fit in.” “Is Jack going to fight again? she was asked. “I don’t think so.

After Tacob had went out via a fly to Elendey, “Larrupin’ Hank” Slank- er caught one of Palmer’s choic- 3st offerings and parked‘it over near the other side of Wilson field, getting to third before Witt- mer could bring the ball- back into playing territory. Hank came home as White laid down a sacrifice bunt. Richardhon flied out to O’Toole. It was necessary for Tom At- wood to come to the rescue of Radford in the ninth when the General moundsman, who had pitched a fine game that far, showed signs of weakening.

John Marshall is First Foe For Freshmen Pitching Problem Worrying Coach Davis; Catchers Plentiful. The Blue and White yearling team takes the field for the first time this season Monday after- noon against Dave Miller’s John Marshall High school team of Richmond on Wilson field. It was first thought that the freshman season would not open until Wednesday afternoon against the Staunton Military academy lnine, but the John Marshall team Eis on a trip through this section Ethe early part of the week and the freshman mentor, E. P. Da- vis, believes his squad is in good enough shape to open their sea- son a few days earlier. Practice On Island. Practice sessions the past few days on the east Lexington island have been rather stiff affairs with batting practices and fielding workouts being the nature of work. The pitching problem which has been giving the frosh coach a good deal of concern since opening days of practice seems to be no nearer solved now with only two mound candidates who have showed anything like capable hurlers and it is almost sure that both of these will see action against the Richmond team on Monday. The infield problem seems solv- ed now with Wilson on first base, Cross on the keystone sack, Mat- tox at shortstop, and Burke at third. All of these men have been extended to gain berths and with a wealth of reserve material on hand for this department it is sure that Coach Davis’ first combination will have to hustle all the time to keep their names in the starting line-up as the season progresses. The outfield department, like the pitching staff, is still a prob- iem. Smith has been shifted from the third~base position to the outfield and it seems that the former A. M. A. player will make a real fly chaser in the outer garden. Smith has a good arm and his work at the bat is of high order. Cowin, Stapleton, Taylor and others are still fight- ing for the two other outer po- sitions. Plenty of Catchers. No matter how the pitching talentsdlook it is sure that the yearling nine will have a corps of good receivers to handle their slants. Wright looks most prom- ising of the candidates and should get the call on Monday.

E E FE lsandifer Back On Track Team After Injury Fletcher's Men Ready Maryland Meet Here Monday Afternoon. For Culminating two weeks of in- tensive training by > time trials Wednesday, followed by a team meeting, Coach Forest Fletcher has his track athletes eagerly ly- ing in wait for Maryland Easter Monday. The strongest entries for the Blue and White seem to be in the 440 where Williams,‘ Shep- oard and Dickey will strive to blank the Marylanders. Williams will remain in Lexington for his events after which he will join the baheball team in their inva- sion of Carolina. Sandifer Back. Hopes for victory were again raised when it was announced that_ Sandifer, all-around track athlete, would compete. Sandifer has been suffering from a spike wound, but in the trials Wednes- day proved that he is back in form and will be a menace to the visitors, especially in the 220 and high jump. While Maryland comes to Lex- ington lacking sufficient training lue to the erection of its new tadium which placed the track under a sea of gravel, the squad is not lacking in performers of natural ability. Headed by Bob Quinn in 'the dashes and Rems- burg in the two miles, the College Parkers will storm Wilson field in their second their Southern ‘tour. Intense in- terest is manifested by the local runners in the V. M. I.-Maryland meet today when Captain Backus and his men will have a chance to see their rivals in action. Men Guessing. Eppley has been keeping his men guessing as to who will make the trip and has announced no definite entries for the meet.

Perhaps you would like to know in Just a word or so how I am in partners with Edgeworth in a business way. By profession I am a cartoonist, who you probably know is called upon to create new ideas. While this is ranked as the hardest part of the pro- fession, I have proved it may easily be mastered, if a person will but recline in any easy chair, light a pipe, and live with imaginative persons in the aromatic smoke clouds that will soon fill the room. Edgeworth has given me more ideas than any other brand of tobacco, so I “married” my pipe to it quite a while ago. The result has been wonderful. The more you use Edgeworth, the more you crave it-not as a drug, but as a wholesome pleasure. _ Complimenting the standard qual- ity (which means more than the words signify) of Edgeworth, I am a devoted and profound user. I Yours very respectfully, James W. Bright Edge-worth Extra High Grade‘, Smoking Tobacco SIDELIGHTS OF GAME 1‘ O The Tiger invaders outhit the Generals 8 to 7, but had too many men left on bases. Likewise Princeton diamond made fewer errors, 1 to 4, support kept Pal- mer out of many a tight spot. day in the outfield, bringing down five difiicult chances during the afternoon. Slanker likewise made three hoists. Hanna redeemed his error on a foul fly and two passed balls by getting three hits, including a double, after relieving Littman behind the mask. In Carter the Princeton nine presented a catcher that will probably be the Lest man behind the mask that will appear here this season. The Tiger backstop handles the pitcher well, has a world of chatter, and backs up first base like Ray Schalk of the White Sox did in his prime. Hendey hunted to Williams in the sixth and the General first baseman merely had to cross the path between first and home to get him out. Hendey ran out of the base line. All three of Hanna's hits were the result of late swinging. Each drive went into right field when a right-handed batter usually hits to left or center. It is very seldom that a short- stop goes through a game with- out having an assist or a put-out, but Jacob did just that in the Tiger contest. Not one Tiger did he kill or assist in the killing of. In addition to being a three sport man, Trix Bennett, Tiger keystone guardian, is one of the best students in Princeton. At Kiski Bennett was one of the out- standing scholars as well as ath- lete. White had a bad day in the field. The chilly weather may ac- count for part of the inability of the General captain to hold onto the ball. When his support failed hinr, Radford resorted to more drastic method of getting the side out. The General hurler fannedi the opposition. With two on in‘/ the second and none out, Radford fanned the next two batters on six pitched balls and forced Palmer to fly to Richardson. 0 Providence, R.

The anxiety to hear one spe- cial feminine voice is responsible for‘ most of the telephonnig in and out of Lexington, ofiicials of the Lexington Telephone com- pany say. Calls to Randolph- Macon, Sweetbriar, Hollins take the lead with Mary Baldwin, Stu- art Hall, Harrisonburg State nor- mal, Sullins and Farmville re- ceiving their share. The major- ity of long distance calls go to girls in schools. Of course parents receive many long distance calls each month, but they are distinguished from the others because the charges are reversed.

Clothes _never occupies less than twenty minutes with a usual toll charge of $18. The tragedy of a student who made it a practice of phoning a girl in West Virginia every Sun- day night is related by local phone officials. At the same hour every Sunday the student phoned the girl, having arranged with her to be at a certain place. This made possible a station-to- station call of four or five min- utes with a toll of less than 50 cents. All went well for months. Then the girl went to New York with her school debating team. She decided to surprise her boy friend with‘ a call. The charges were reversed and for twenty minutes she told him of the wonders she saw. When at last the receivers were rung up, the student asked for the charge. It was $10. He used the telephone no more. R. L. HESS & Bro. Watchmakers and Jewelers Keys Made, Typewriters .
