Van Gilbert, business manager of the Troubadours, stat- ed today that he anticipated a capacity crowd and advised stu- dents to purchase reserved seats for themselves and visitors im- mediately to avoid confusion at the box ofiice Saturday. As in the Thanksgiving show the main roles are takwen by Stanley Hampton, Dan Lindsey, Gerry Holden, and Billy Munford. Reports from places visited by the Troubadours on their recent trip are most enthusiastic in their praise of the performance. The Southern Collegians made a de- cided hit and very ably fill up the intervals between acts with their characteristic jazz. A. B. Collison, president of the Troubadours, and director of the ' show, stated today that he was more than pleased with the re- sults obtained and predicted Sat- urday to bring forth the largest crowd and best show in the Trou- badours’ history. Doors will be open immediately after the baseball game with Wil- liam and Mary. Tickets are priced at 75c and $1.00. Intra-M ural Track Meet ~ Contemplated The freshman and sophomore gymnasium classes will compete \.in Washington and Lee’s annual intra-mural field and track meet planned by the Physical Educa- tion department for the last week-end preceding the final ex- aminations. Last year’s meet was one of much interest and should prove equally so this year. Coaches Twombly and Mathis are devot- ing the periods of instruction in these classes to training in the events in this meet. Members of the classes who are not out for varsity or freshman track will get a chance to show any ability in this line in the meet. The eligibility rules governing the competition in the meet will be the same as applied to intra- mural games in any other sports. No person who is a member of either varsity or freshman track and field squads will be allowed to participate‘. 0 . Lehigh university recently suf- fered a fire estimated at $15,000. The fire was in the Physics build- ing and did considerable damage to the radio research library. The blaze ruined over $10,000 worth of radio apparatus while damages to the building amounted‘ to over ‘L000. lgh As Time For Voting The Easter Dance number of The Southern Collegian will be out by Friday, according to T.

Easter Dances Begin Friday, _ Following Feast Harrington Leads “13” Club Dance And Bush, Cotil- lion Club Prom. The Easter dances of Washing- ton and. Lee will commence Fri- day night in Doremus gymnasium immediately after the “13" club banquet. The first dance of this set is sponsored by the “13” club and the figure will be lead by W. B. Harrington. _ The Cotillion club dance will follow on Saturday night. The figure will be lead by Peyton ‘ Bush. Kay Kyser and his orchestra will play for these dances. Kyser is popular with Washington and Lee students and it is expected that a large number of dancers will attend both ‘of these dances. This is the first time that the Easter dances have not come near Easter Sunday.’ The reason for the postponement was to get a larger number of people to at- tend the dances. For this reason a larger crowd than usual is ex- pected. “Scrip'7l0);1ices For Finals If Budget Fails Lanier Says That If Students Fail To Subscribe Admit- tance Will Be Denied.

Four states, Massachusetts, Connecticut, New Hampshire, and New Mexico are at the bottom with one each. Alabama, with thirteen, has second largest number of appli- cants, nine of these being from Mobile. This is the largest num- ber from any one city on the list.

Three hundred and fifty men have so far failed to contribute their share. These men will be interviewed next Tuesday for the fourth and last time by members of the Finals finance committee, George Lanier, president of Fin- als, said yesterday. “This is absolutely the last drive,” Lanier stated. “We have seen some men thre and four times. A budget of $8,000 is our minimum, and we have at present $4,300 in the bank. If Washing- ton and Lee has fallen to the point of “scrip” dances, or an or- dinary ball with’ a couple of infor- mals, in place of the brilliant Finals for which the University is noted, this fact will be made apparent in the next few days.” Non-Contributors Barred. “So far this year over a third of the student body has failed to contribute,” Lanier added. “If necessary, Finals officials will stand guard at the door for every dance to admit only those students who have done their share.

SEVERAL POSITIONS STILL UNCONTESTED Powell, Plummer, Ashworth, Hamilton, Walker, Elias, Sugg Unopposed. General elections are almost here. Tonight there will be a po- litical rally in the Doremus Me- morial gymnasium as a final get- together before the final day Thursday. The annual political rally will be held at 8 o’clock at which time all candidates will make their fin- al plea for votes. Although nothing definitely could be learned about what can- didates expected to talk about at the meeting it has reached the RING-TUM PHI office that sev- eral candidates as a last minute spurt will introduce several new features on their talks. Interest seems to be running high as the balloting draws near and it will be only natural for several candidates and political “bosses” to sit up until the “wee small” hours of the night with the hope of uncovering a few ex- tra votes. No new candidates have post- ed their names on the bulletin board since last Saturday’s paper. Louis Powell is running unop- body as is Bill Plummer for vice- president. More interest and com petition hinges around secretary- three names will appear on the ballot. Busold, Evans, and Pil- ley will be running. Hot races -are expected for dance leaders with Gilbert and Hampton runnnig for Fancy Dress and Sutherland and Groop in the race for president of the Finals. McCarthy and Davis are competing for editorship of the RING-TUM PHI for next year Bill Sugg is running unopposed. Ashworth and Walker are run- ning unopposed for editor and business manager of the Southern Collegian_as are Elias and Hamil- ton for editor and business man- ager of the Calyx respectively. Wagner and Sanders are can- didates for cheer leader. The polls will be opened at 8:30 Thursday morning and will re- main open until 2 o’clock. All candidates must receive a major. ity for election and in the case. that neither of the three candi- dates running for secretary-treas- urer receive a majority on the first ballot there will be a run- off Friday. The polls for the run-off will open at 8:30 and will close at 2, just the same as the election Thursday. H istorv Repeats Itself As Snow Falls on Mount History came near repeating itself here this year when snow fell yesterday in the vicinity of Lexington. Last year on election day the campus was visited with a snow and sleet storm. Yester- day snow fell on both House and North mountains, but as yet no flakes fell on the campus. Students are wondering if snow will fall on the day of election this year. In spite fo the heavy sleet and light snow more votes were cast last year than ever before in the history of the university. All candidates are wondering if snow 01' beautiful weather will bring forth another election record.

All matters of business should be addressed to the Business Manager. All other matters should come to the Editor- in-Chief. _ , _ We are always glad to publish any communications. that may be handed to us. No unsigned correspondence _will be published: however, we shall gladly withhold your signature from print upon request. If the choice were left to me whether to have a free press or a free government, I would choose a free press.- Thomas Jefferson. “FALLING IN LINE” Citizens all over America are learning to respect the press more and more each day. They are learning the value of freedom of the press and respect journalistic ethics. This theory of Americans learning to re- spect the newspaper profession more clear- ly brought out by the fact that the Nebras- ka legislature last week passed a law which prohibits future secret sessions being clos- ed to newspaper reporters and the bill has been signed by Governor Arthur J. Weaver. Another proof came up almost simultane- ously when the Grand Jury of Jefferson county, Alabama, recommended to the crim- inal court that Harry C. Frye, assistant managing editor of the Birmingham Age- Herald, not be held for contempt of court for refusing to divulge the source of informa- tion published in his newspaper. Still another proof came recently when the Rev. Walton C. Cole, Chicago pastor, declared a free press one of the most effec- tive aids in good government. “Chicago would be much more corrupt than it is,” he said, “were it not for the fact that the press has, at times, given piti- less publicity to situations that could be cor- rected only by that publicity, which arouses the public conscience.” V One illustration of good done by the press has been noticed in Miami, Florida, West- brook Peller, Chicago sports writer, was the inspirator. Pegler’s stories, appearing in the Chicago Tribune, were definite and un- qualified accounts of the gambling activ- ities in Miami. A cleanup of vice and gambling followed the stories. The Nebraska legislature respected free- dom of the press; the Alabama Grand Jury respected newspaper ethics; the Reverend Coe saw the need of freedom of the press; and Pegler’s stories have cleaned up Miami. Newspapers can do great things in improv- ing the country if they are not hampered by rigid “gag laws.” College papers all over the country, also, can do a great good f they are not censored too rigid1y—facilities are “Falling in Line” all over the country in giving editors a freer rein, and they are doing greater things for their colleges. American citizens are following the advice of Jefferson, who preferred freedom of press to freedom of government. :_._o_..__ TWO KINDS OF SUPPORT Moral support is always welcomed by any individual and project. But moral support and no other kind is not worth the words wasted in the utterance. Members connected with Finals this June have received all the moral support one could expect or desire, but financial sup- port is woefully lacking. ‘ Everyone has wished the president of the Finals, the Fin- als Week committe, the finance committees, and all other committees success and suc- cess in abundance. But unless some of these “I wish you all the success in the world” students soon contribute support from the pocketbook instead of “I wish you ——” those connected with Finals are going to be in for rough sailing. Many students have failed to contribute anything at all. Some have come forth wil- ling with the customary ten dollars in cash and in good checks, but a large number have given worthless checks. Finals cannot be run with cold checks— business can. It behoves those forgetful and thoughtless students to make these checks good——that is, if they have any sense every Washington and Lee man has. _.Many of these checks are post dated and students forget they have checks out, but they should make it a point to take these up as soon as possible. Everyone wants an elaborate set of dances, a set which will well live up to for- mer dances here, but unless financial sup- port is greatly increased all the moral sup- port in the world will not help the Finals committees give you a gallant and glorious Finals. ._:_._Q:.__j THEY LAUGH LAST “He who laughs last laughs the longest.” And so the students of the University of Virginia and members of the Delta Tau Delta fraternity at that institution get to laugh the longest—-and we can imagine there will be plenty of laughing at the Char- lottesville school. After probing the liquor situation most of last week, the president of the national fraternity issued a statement that the charges against the Virginia fraternity were misleading and untrue. During the investigation Detts Pickett, a Washington reformer, issued a statement for the press that the Virginia students would have to change their views on honor and that the chapter’s charter should be revoked. The action of the Arch chapter bears out the opinion of the RING-TUM PHI last week that Mr. Pickett was in error in com- menting on the situation without knowing the inside of the affair. Aren’t we all a little too quick to criticise things and peo- ple without knowing the whole truth? Many people hear only one side and then jump at conclusions, making rash state- ments which later have to be “eaten.” We are glad the situation has been set- tled at Virginia and that Doctor Alderman has openly stated that if the closing of the doors of fraternity houses be necessary that the university will make the initial step. He has clearly shown that so long as he is in charge of the J effersonian.-. institute that he is to run the university ‘and it is not to be dominated by “outsiders.” o SCIENTISTS VS. MR. HOOVER Had some one told our forefathers a hun- dred years ago that we would be riding in horseless vehicles today they would have laughed. And had someone told one of us ten years ago that straw would be used in making ink, paints, germicides, enamels, and auto top dressings we would have laughed too. But time has brought about inventions and developments—and today we ride in automobiles, and straw, which only a few years ago was considered a liability, is used to great advantages. Mr. Hoover is working over plans which should prove of great benefit to farmers, but he is about to be outdone by scientists who have found uses for straw. Editor and Publisher, a newspaper trade magazine, recently ran an article about the by-product of straw. The Merriville (Wis.) Daily Herald is using ink\in its plant made from straw from the Wisconsin farm lands. Only a short time ago the disposition of wheat and oat straw was a problem. No one had found use for it, and in many cas- es farmers would light a match to the stack and watch it go up in flames. It was pointed out that scientists have developed a demand for straw and thus will materially aid the farmers in the middle West. One farmer last fall netted only $82 froml his grain, while the sale of straw netted $162. / From every ton of straw 1,600 pounds of useful products are extracted-—this means only four hundred pounds of straw is wast- edin every 2,000 today. Scientists are not only eyiminating waste, but are materially helping the struggling farmer——and are about to beat Mr. Hoover at his own game. —-———o Life ih an art, not a business or a duty——Bish- op Paul Jones.

C.—Jack Cobb of Durham, basketball forward and captain of the University of North Carolina basketball team in 1925 and 1926, suffered injuries in an automobile wreck near here last night which, this morning necessitated the amputation of his right foot, just above the ankle. Miss Sara Sue Sherill, of Sylva and Asheville; Miss Mary Alma Wilson of Sylva, and Howard Covington of Waynesville were less seriously hurt. The car turn- ed over three times when it left the road, after Cobb, who was driving, was blinded by the lights of another car. 0 Dinner Dance By “I3” Club Friday A dinner dance for the mem- bers of the “13” club and their dates will be held Friday night at the Rosemont Inn on the Lynchburg road, at 7:30. Danc- ing will be enjoyed between courses with music furnished by the Southern Collegians. No pro- gram of any type has been an- nounced yet. This is an annual affair and precedes the dance at Doremus gymnasium. l -‘fr. Man Still lauds This Smoke Utica, N. Y. Aug. 30, I928 Larus & Bro. Co., Richmond, Va. Gentlemen: Just a line to let you know where some of your tobacco has been going for the last ten years. I have been smoking Edgeworth for the past ten years; in fact, since I started smoking, and it is just as good now as it was then. Have given other brands a fair trial, but there is none like Edgeworth. During that time I have had costly pipes and some not so costly, but I have decided that it is not the pipe but what is in it that counts. With best wishes for your continued success in the manufacture of this high grade tobacco, I am, Sincerely, (Signed) N. A. Vaeth Edgeworth Extra High Grade Smoking Tobacco Who Would You Choose The Ten Most Interesting News Personalities In The World?—Bickel Makes Choice. Who are the ten most interest- ing" news personalities in the world? Who do you enjoy reading about in the daily papers most? Some will give presidents of countries, kings of empires, base- ball players, movie actors, etc. And no doubt no two would se- lect the same ten. Karl A. Bickel, president of the United Press, has selected ten men whom he considers having the most interesting news person- alities for the Pathe Sound News interviews to be released next week in theatres throughout the United States. Mr. Bickel’s selection follows, with the names appearing in ac- cordance to his idea of the ones with the most interesting news personalities: Herbert Hoover, the king of England and the prince of Wales, bracketed together; Col. Charles A. Lindbergh, ex-President Cal- vin Coolidge, Benito Mussolini, Henry Ford, Thomas A. Edison, Charlie Chaplin, David Lloyd George, and President von Hin- denburg of Germany. Explaining these selections in the “talkie” interview, Mr. Bickel adds: “Almost any list might also in- clude General Pershing. Clemen- ceau of France should be included except for his age.

He thinks there are very few women in the world who might qualify among the first ten in popular news interest. Herbert Hoover was selected first because he is the executive of the most interesting country in the world. He places the king of England and the prince of Wales second and in the same bracket because their popularity in news interests fluctuates ac- cording to incidents and because the prince of Wales is of more in America than he is in his na- tive land. Calvin Coolidge seems to have lost none of his popularity and news interest when he left the White House March 4 and his do- ings will be of great interest for some time to come. Mr. Bickel mentions Mrs. Hoov- er, Mrs. Coolidge, Mary Pickford, Queen Marie of Rumania, and Madame Curie as the women who might possibly be mentioned.

The game with North Carolina scheduled for Monday having been rained out, the Washington and Lee ball tossers will get into ac- tion for the first time this week on Friday when they entertain the Wahoos from Virginia on Wilson field. A game with William and Mary is on the card for Saturday. The Virginia encounter was originally booked for April 9, but Jupiter Pluvius took a hand in the proceedings and flooded the field, making’ it necessary to re- schedule it for /April 19. The Generals were handicapped during the first part of this week by bad weather and were forced to take light workouts in the gym. For this reason it is un- likely that there will be any dras- tic shifts in the lineup. Leigh Williams is slated to be back at his job on the initial sack. He was lost to the team last week with an infected foot, but recovered sufficiently to take a first and a second place during the track team's recent invasion of North Carolina. Wright, who played first base during Williams’ absence, will probably be shifted back to the outfield, but there is (By Mike LeiboWitz) Having successfully repelled in- vading teams during the past week, the Universitw of North Carolina today stands the van of the Tri-State league race, with four victories and no defeats.’ Boasting of victories over Vir- ginia, Washington and Lee, and Maryland, the Tar Heels began their invasion of the Northern section this week with a clean cut victory over the Old Liners, their second for the current season. Jackson’s home—run in the 8th with a man on first gave the Tar Heels a 6 to 4 win, against Vir- ginia, North Carolina scored four runs in the sixth to come from behind for a 5 to 4 decision. The Tar Heels thus far have displayed mid-season form, with their hurlers standing up unus- ually well. Ball, Tar Heel moundsman, with a brace of vic- tories leads the league hurlers, while his teammates, Fleming and Wright have accounted for vic- tories, too.

Whether or 2. -chance that he will get a chance to show his wares on the mound in one of the two week- end battles. It looks like Ed Smith has practically beaten off all competi- tors for the second base position, with Captain White at the hot corner. Jacob is again slated for shortstop. The outfield will be composed of Slanker, Lowdon, and Richard- son or Wright. The Wahoos have had an up- and-down season so far this year. Coach‘Neale was hampered in the beginning by the lack of experi- enced hurlers and his team took several trimmings before he could find a man to go the route. Vir- ginia turned in several victories recently until stopped Saturday by North Carolina. Bob Millen, Wahoo basketball captain, who is trying the dia- mond game for the first time, will probably toss them over for his team Friday afternoon. He showed a good bag of tricks in his first start and seems to be the best on the Cavaliers’ list. , William and Mary, which op- poses the Generals on Saturday, is a team which has also showed good and bad baseball. They boast of a veteran pitcher, Wal- lace, who has held in check some of the best sluggers in Virginia and he will probably draw the hill assignment for the Williams- burgers. Wallace was chased from the box by the Generals in a game last season. o “Pardon me; SiI','but you haven’t paid for your 'purchase.

This will be the only trip that Carolina will make out- side the Tar Heel state. North Carolina State with two victories, one over Washington and Lee and the other over Maryland, presents a serious ob- stacle to the pennant aspirations of the fast moving Tar Heels. Carolina State has yet to meet the Tar Heels, and provided both teams keep their pace, their meet- ing on May 20th, wil lin all like- lihood decide the pennant win- ner. Avaratte is marking step with Ball of North Carolina for individual honors on the mound, having turned in the two victor- ies. V. M. I. has only played one game, winning over Virginia, while Virginia Poly has the un- usual record of having had their scheduled league encounters wash- ed out by rain. W. & L. and Va. Tied For Fifth Washington and Lee and Vir- ginia are tied for fifth position in the race standing, both having dropped two games. The Gener- als started well in their pre-sea- son encounters but slumped when they faced their Carolina foes, North Carolina State and Univer- sity of North Carolina. Maryland holds undisputed po- session of the bottom rung with three losses. The league-leading Tar Heels have a trio of heavy batsmen in Captain Lufty, Mand and Barn- hart, who combined have batted out sixteen hits in forty-two times at bat. Jackson, Carolina slugger, is hot after Cardwell’s record for home runs. Last year, Cardwell of Virginia, poled out three homers. To date, Jackson, who has three hits to his credit, has accounted for two lusty drives. Pitchers Avarrate of State and Ball of Carolina, with two vic- tories apiece, hold first place in their department. Every team in the league, how- ever, has its individual sluggers, who have been tallying up an enviable batting average for the league season. Maryland, de- spite its low standing, offers Higgins, who has five hits in ten trips to the plate. The Old Lin- ers also excell in double-killings, their infield having accounted for four of them. Kay, Old Liner outfielder, is leading the league in stolen bases, with four pilfers to his credit. Slanker Batting Well Woodworth, Carolina State first sacker, has also driven out five hits in ten journeys to the plate, while Slanker, Washington and Lee’s stellar center gardner, has a. similar record also. Slanker has to his credit, among his five blows, a homer and a triple. Tolley’s 111 West Nelson St. Neckwear—New Sweaters and Golf Hose to match.

He took as his title “A Free People” and sketched the history of the Jewish race and its effect on the history of the human race. He emphasized the fact that the Israelites have always oppos- ed tyranny in a personal, religi- ous, political, and every other way. They have never remained in bondage for any considerable time and during many periods of trial and persecution have retained their religious and traditional uni- ity. During the Middle Ages they did much to preserve the little remaining knowledge‘ by being one of the,few free peoples. He pictured the Israelites in a new role, that of an essentially free race that has retained freedom through years of poverty, prejudice, persecution, and later prosperity. esting and humorous things and writes them in “Grub Street.” The most significant of these things is “The Credo of a Wash- ington and Lee Student.” The truth of the credo makes it an important part of the magazine.
