Approximately 50 candidates for next fall’s football team re- sponded to Assistant Coach Pal- mer’s initial Wilson field. ters which has been working out call yesterday on The squad of cen- for several days was joined by the small army of line candidates and tryouts for the other backfield posts. The first days work consist- ed largely of conditioning exer- cises and punting and passing. Under the direction of Palmer ev- ery candidate on the field was given a chance to show his talent for kicking and passing as well as taking a fling on the receiv- ing end of both. Several letter men took part in the opening day drill. Captain Hawkins and Hostetter, both of whom won their monograms in tackle berths, were in uniform along with Tillar and McGinnis of last fall’s squad. Tonsmiere, Bailey, and Rosenburg from thc freshmen were present to take part in the scrap for the tackle jobs. Day and Cocke, varsity wing- men last season were in the squad as was Captain Long of the freshmen. Mike Seligman was the only monogram guard in uniform, but Harris and Tilson from the freshmen and Stillwell from the Daffodils were present. Groop and Snodgrass, letter men in the pivot post, have been out for several days as has been Hol- stein, first string center for the freshmen three years ago, who has returned to school. Experienced backfield men tak- ing part in spring practice ni- clude Jones, Eberhart, Barnett, Mellon, and Cohen. The fresh- men ball carriers now out are Martin, Mitchell, McLaurin and Smith. Palmer will be in charge of practice for the rest of the week, getting the men into shape so that Head Coach Oberst can be- gin the installation of the Rockne system when he arrives on Mon- 1 I day. Social Scidnce Parley Attracts . W&L. Professors Social ‘The Science association at Sweetbriar college Saturday attracted eight Wash- ington and Lee professors.

The final appearance of the Washington and Lee Troubadours for the session in Owen Davis’s “The Haunted Honse” closed the most successful year in the his- tory of the organization, said Van Gilbert, retiring business mana- ger, in a closing statement to- day. A ‘The home appearance Saturday afternoon in the New theatre in itself was a success from a finan- cial standpoint as well as other- wise’. Over $300 was cleared, and this added to the amount made on the triumphant spring tour fixes the organization, financially, in the most stable position in its history. With all the year’s ex- penses paid, a substantial fund is left to the management to begin next year’s work. Besides the success financially, the Troubadours were given more publicity this year than ever be- fore and were received with more good-will on the recent trip than on any other trip made by the organization. With the new offi- cers and new organization estab- lished Monday night, the Dramatic club is planning to extend its field and itinerary in the coming years. “It is practically assured that the organization will have the benefit of a trained faculty in- structor next_year,” said Al Col- lison, retiring president, in review- ing the year’s work. “His name has not been disclosed yet,” he added, “but he will be connected with the public speaking depart- ment. I think he is a graduate of Cornell.” ‘ An additional office has been added to the organization, that of assistant business manager. This position will be appointed by the new business manager, as will be publicity manager and assist- ants. I With this new scheme the business end of the club should work more smoothly and more ef- ficiently than formerly, stated Collison -in reflecting upon the change. _ \. “With the closing of the year the organization looks upon the next with the brightest prospects in its history. Its financial status has been stabilized, its dramatic ability has been greatly improved and its executive personnel is bet- (Continued on Page Four). iindsey New President Of Troubadours Tom Fitzhugh Elected To Be Business Manager For Next Year. CHANGES MADE IN TROUB ORGANIZATION Glee Club And Orchestra Is Separated From Rest Of Body. Dan Lindsey was chosen pres- ident, and Tom Fitzhugh business manager, Monday, at the annual election of officers of the Trouba- dours. The complete list for next year’s organization follows: Dan Lindsey, president; Gerry Holden. vice—president; Tom Fitzhugh, business manager; Stuart Cren-< shaw, stage manager; John De- vine, property manager; Parke Steet, costume manager; Fred Collette, electrician. A publicity manager and assistant business manager will be appointed at a later date. This was the final meeting of the year. Retiring president Al Collison made a short speech of appreciation to the members for their co-operation in the year’s work. A rising vote of thanks was tendered him and the retir- ing business manager, Van Gil- bert for their direction and man- agement of the organization’ dur- ing the past year. Orchestra Passes The meeting marked the pass- ing‘ of the glee club and the or- chestra from the ranks of the Troubadours which will exist as a dramatic organization only in the future. The glee club will be a separate organization and the orchestra will cease to exist. The Southern Collegians have plans under way to petition the faculty for permission to become a schocl organization rather than an in- dividual one as heretofore. The glee club met as a separate organization immediately after the Troubadour meeting and elected Aleck Vance president and Fritz Pierce vice—president. The office of business manager is to be filled later. Collar; iiere Sunday Sweet Briar Girls Coming To Lee Chapel For Sacred Concert.

Students Of Today Have Easy Trip To Lexington Compared To The Old Times Down to Lynchburg on the old “Virginia Creeper” seems slow to the students of Washington and Lee, in this age of passenger air- planes, fast motor busses, and up-to-date trains. However, to students in the old days, used to the lumbering stage and the slow moving canal boat, the installa- tion of this train in 1881 was most welcome. Before 1881 Lexington was con- nected with the outside world by three stage-coach lines. One line went to Salem, a town near Roa- noke, another to Staunton, and a third to Goshen. The stage was used mostly by people whose bus- iness necessitated their traveling about. Roads were extremely rough, and no one thought of taking a pleasure trip by stage. The stage to Goshen, which made connections with the C. & 0., was most used by the students. The May issue of the Southern Col- legian for the year 1875 tells of a trip the baseball team took to Charlottesville, by way of Goshen. The twenty-one mile trip was made to Goshen in a stage-coach, owned by the Lightning Express company. Although the company was named “Lightning” the coach averaged only about eight miles an hour, in good weather. If the weather happened to be bad the (Continued on Page Four). Sgdents Orice Had To Forage For Firewood “There was one of my rooms students were particularly anx- ious to have. For many years, every man who roomed in it grad- uated with high honors, some with Phi Beta Kappa.” Mrs. Edward Moore was tell- ing of her experience in manag- ing the old East dormitory when it was the only one the school boasted. In those days, she tells, each student had to furnish his own firewood, Furnaces were unknown, and the clay of universal use of electric lights and water pipes was yet to come. In her seventeen years as ma- tron, Mrs. Moore has had many guests. “In one year, I had boys from seventeen states and several foreign countries. The foreigners were particularly hard to please,” she said. ‘ When Doctor_ Smith became president of the University, the dormitory was modernized and men no longer had to forage for their firewood or bring water from the well. A furnace was installed and ‘other conveniences" added. “Times certainly have changed,” Mrs. Moore said, “you boys now- adays don’t realize the hardships college students went thru then. If you did you would appreciate your opportunities and use them to better advantage.” Driv;«;§;Knd , Sidewalks Will Be Laid in June Professor Houston Outlines Plans For Campus Im- provements Of Summer. Campus improvements to con- sist mainly of a system of drive- ways and sidewalks in the im- mediate vicinity of Doremus Gym- nasium will be put under way shortly after the close of school in June, announced Professor Hale Houston today. A curbing will be constructed on the driveway leading to the entrance of the gym to prevent parking on the grass of the square there. A parking space directly behind the gym will be provided to take care of cars, and a cir- cular driveway leading around the gym to the back will permit a continuous one-way passage of traffic to and away from the en- trance. There are also plans be- ing formed to construct a cir- cular driveway in front of the gym to enable cars in times of little traffic to have a conven- ient turning place. A sidewalk to run parallel to the concrete driveway now leading to the gym will be constructed to prevent pe- destrians blocking traffic. A sidewalk will possibly be plac- ed around the north side of the library in a similar position to the one which now runs around the south side. Several other short walks and driveways are being planned.

ASHWORTH Ashworth was elected to edit next year’s Southern Collegian in the recent student body elections. By A. M. HARVEY. There will be several slight changes and a few additions to the 1929-30 Southern Collegian, according to George F. Ashworth, editor-in-chief-elect. The South- ern Collegian was discontinued in 1918 and it was not until two years ago that it was revived. The magazine has had a hard financial struggle since its revival and has only recently pulled out of debt. There will be some money made the remainder of this year, and this will be at the dis- posal of the new editor and will enable him to put out a much im- proved publication. The magazine will be enlarged in size as well as in content. A department of articles of general _ university interest will be organ- ized if some capable writer can be found for it. Also an article from some prominent outsider will appear in each issue, and the edi- tor is already in touch with sev- eral men of recognized literary ability. Ashworth also stated that the front of the magazine will‘be improved in appearance. A cut of some traditional or physical metif (Continued on Page Four). Rains Decrease Chapel Visitors Many Come, Despite Bad Weather; Girls Up For ‘ Dances. There has been a total of 3,683 visitors to Lee Chapel since the first of this month, despite the fact that heavy rains have kept down the number for the past ten days. Most of the girls who come up for the dances take time to see the tomb of Lee. This is true for the girls who come up for the V. M. I. dances as well as those who attend the social func- tions at Washington and Lee, says the custodian. A bus load of girls from the college at Waynesboro are sent each week to Lexington to visit the chapel, and it has become a regular stop on all the Bus Tours from New York, Washington, and Norfolk. The Royal and Blue Line tours have made this a stop for some time. Commerce Men Busy On Theses Forty-nine commerce seniors are each preparing a 5,000 word thesis and about the same number of academic seniors are thanking their lucky stars they are not quired to do the same. May 1, is the last day commerce school theses are allowed to come in, members of the faculty an- nounced recently. After being looked over by the professors, theses are handed back to their writers for revision, May 15, being the last day revised theses will be received. Each senior in the commerce school has selected some subject pertaining to one of the four gen- eral groups he is majoring in. Business administration, Banking, Accounting, and Public adminis- tration comprise the major groups. Plii Bjtdokgpa To initiate 17 Pledges Friday List Includes. Fourteen Stu- dents And Three Alumni. Banquet To Follow. Phi Beta Kappa, national hon- orary scholastic fraternity, will initiate fourteen students and three alumni Friday night at 7 o’clock in the Alumni building. Following the’ initiation cere- monies, a banquet will be given at the Dutch Inn, at which Mr. Robert M. Hughes, Norfolk, will deliver an address to the new initiates and old members. The three alumni who will be taken into the fraternity Friday night are: Judge H. W. Holt, Staunton; Hon. George C. Peery, Tazewell, and Mr. C. H. Morris- sett, Richmond. Seven of the students who will be initiated are in the Academic school, three in the Commerce school, three in the Law school. and one in the Science school. The pledges this year are: Gate- wood Brock, Phi Kappa Sigma, Norfolk; G. W. Dunnington, Kan- sas City; L. A. Haskell, Augus- ta; N. E. Hawes, Lexington; M. M. Heuser, Pi Kappa Alpha, Nor- ton; R. B.

Wilcox, Sigma Chi, Texas City, Texas, and Bernard Yoepp, Jr., Hurley, N. Y. o FROSH BANQUET RUSE DUPES SLEEPY SOPHS The freshman class of Washing- ton and Jefferson produced an in- novation in banquets and inciden- tally fooled their sophomore op- ponents by holding their banquet at 6 a. m. All night before the ‘banquet-breakfast the sophomores had roamed the country for signs of hostile freshmen with no suc- cess. In the early morning they felt the need of one or two hours sleep but in the meantime the freshmen were enjoying their menu, which consisted of grape- fruit, ham and eggs, toast and coffee. ‘-- To Same Name May Students And Professors Who Answer Form Exclusive Club Someone has proposed that all the Bills at Washington and Lee form a club. Were such an or- ganization formed of persons an- swering to that name, it would indeed be a representative frater- nity, capable of steam-rolling any measure or swinging any election. One hundred and twenty-seven students, six members of the board of trustees, two administra- tive officers, and eleven faculty members belong to this club, since they answer to the name of Wil- liam in some form or other. William Alexander Anderson, senior trustee, would probably be elected president of the club. Mr. Anderson has been a trustee of the University since 1885, longer, by sixteen years, than any other member. .William Haywood Moreland, dean of the School of Law, might be the club’s attorney and legal advisor. Dr. William Moseley Brown, head of the departments of psychology and education, would take charge of the club’s programs, and invite speakers. A Health Advisor. Dr. William Dana Hoyt, pro- fessor of biology, would be health adviser to the members. Dr. Robert William Dickey, professor or‘ physics and engineering, would be the club’s engineer and build- (Continued on Page Four). Last Finals Drive Started With Canvass Every Student To Be Visited In Effort To Raise Suffi- cient Funds. $2,000 NEEDED LANIER SAYS Plans Must ‘Be Curtailed If Necessary Amount Is Not Collected. The fourth and last drive for Finals subscriptions was launched last night when forty-five mem- bers of Finals finance committee began their work of seeing every man on the Washington and Lee campus who has not yet done l')1S share for Finals. A table will be at the Corner tomorrow, said George Lanier, Finals president, and this will be absolutely the last chance to sub- scribe. “Subscriptions or some personal arrangements must be made this week,” Lanier added, “or plans for Finals will be cur- tailed. We must have some basis for our plans checks and excuses.” The finance committee met last night in Newcomb hall for a dis- cussion of the situation. The budget is still short over $2,000, which must be made up at once. Work on decorations and arrange- ments for the favors and the Final Ball dinner cannot be com- pleted until definite assurance can be had that Finals is to be as much of a financial success as it has always been a social success. Deadline Set For Checks. Notices were mailed last night to students whose checks have come back unhonored. These checks will be sent through the banks for the last time Saturday, April 27, after which date action will be taken for collection. The finance committee has handled more cold checks this year than ever before, Lanier said, but they are gradually being cleaned up. Some of the checks are nearly Worn out from being presented so often at the banks for payment. Saturday is the deadline set for all checks. Plans Progressing.

Freed from the mad fight f01' grade, f}“§ed from examinations, freed from tu1lZ10I1 charges, five Dartmouth seniors can now pursue an untrammeled intellectual life. Beginning with 1929-30 five highest rat- ing juniors will be presented fellowships entitling them to the above priVi1egf3 35 seniors, Dr. Ernest M. Hopkins, president of Dartmouse, announced this week. “The college regards the free and un- trammeled pursuit of the intellectual life as the highest good, an ideal which has somehow been mislaid or forgotten in many American institutions of learning,” Dr. Hop- kins said in announcing the fellowships. So educators are finally beginning to see what the better students have known for years—-that grades are incidentals rather than principals—-that good students can often get more from an hour of serious reading than from an hour spent listening to the average “bull” lecture. When a man with any sense whatever comes to college he expects to learn some- thing. He doesn’t come, as many suppose, to spend four years living in luxurious idle- ness at his father’s expense. He can usu- ally be depended on to take the courses he is most interested in and to learn something from them. He doesn’t take “crips” be- cause they are “crips.” And if sensible, he does not place grades above everything just because the type of education he is nurtured under put grades as the ideal to strive for. Unless a student is aiming at Summa Cum Laude, which means nothing more than grades for grade’s sake, he will some- times find it more worth his time to spend an evening reading a book on a subject in- teresting him than spend it bent over a text on 2. subject he doesn’t care a thing about and he is taking because it is required. Maybe you can’t trust a freshman. _ But you can trust a senior of average intelli- gence to study What is best for him and study enough to learn. So why trouble him with grade? Why trouble him with exams —exams he crams for and promptly forgets what he crammed in? Bothering college seniors with a kinder- garten grading system will cease when the country gets more educators like President Hopkins of Dartmouth. .__T__.0__j: THESE STUDENTS! Immersed as Washington and Lee stu- dents are in this patrician atmosphere, some of the things that are said and done in the hinterland are almost unbelievable. ‘For example, the professors at Southwest- ern have declared themselves immune to co-ed wiles. One of them said: ‘‘All our co-eds are beautiful, so no one has a better chance than others.” That might be ap- plied to students here. No one has a better chance than others--unless he has a drag. Next year Northwestern will have five classes: freshman, sophomore, middler, ju- nior, and senior. We already have five: freshman, sophomore, junior, senior, and perpetual senior. Then Georgia Tech voted for the quarter system inustead of the sem- ester system. Incidentally the Georgia Tech faculty hasn’tepassed on the student vote yet. Faculties hate to pass- A University of Washington student travels 90 miles every morning and makes an eight‘ o’clock class on time. Some fra- ternity members here have the same trip and they’re generally on time, too. A col- legiate Sunday school has been started at the Utah Agricultural College. It was thought that some one would copy us soon- er or later in something besides the “Swing.” They would have to be farmers. Seventy-six Northwestern students were put in jail for traffic violations recently. Page the Lexington minions! “Tolo Day” was recently observed at the University of Washington, during which the gals take their boy friends out and pay the expenses. The woman pays—let’s try a dance set like that. Emily Post’s book of etiquette is the most popular in the University of Oklahoma library. Oh, well, consider—.

TOT THE “SOCIAL SCIENTISTS” MEET. Three years ago the Social Science Asso- ciation was formed as a section of the Vir- ginia Academy of Science. It has ben feel- ing its way, and this year Went on its own, and has just closed a very successful annual meeting at Lynchburg. Four groups of teachers and research workers are included in the association—historians, economists, political scientists and sociologists. At the recent meeting, these four sections met separately for one session and heard and discussed papers dealing chifly with re- search projects in these various fields. One session of the entire association wa devoted to a consideration of the subject, “The In- dustrialization of Virginia.” Papers were read on such sub-topics as “Industry and the New Virginia,” “The Relation Between Ag- riculture and Industry,” “Education and In- dustrialization,” “Industrialization and the Business Manager” and “Industrialization and the Worker,” followed by 2. paper from a sociologist on “Social Problems of Indus- trialization.” Each of these papers was a distinct contribution to the solution of one of the growing questions now confronting Virginia and the South. The president, Professor R. H. Tucker, presented a remarkable study of “Our Un- stable Standard of .Value.’’ It has been under the leadership of President Tucker that the association has carried forwardits program of research and fact-finding during the past year, and has made notable advance in enlisting teachers and publicists in the work of the association. Research on eco- nomic and social questions, proper teaching in our schools and colleges, and the enlist- ing of informed public opinion on the great and vexing problems now arising, is the pur- pose of this young association of social sci- entists. It may be that this organization has come to the state for such a time as this.—Richmond News Leader. ._..___.:0j__._... SHOCK. Annually about this time many hereto- fore complacent, selfsatisfied seniors suffer rude awakenings. Without warning they suddenly catch a glimpse of the stark real- ism of a work-a-day world. Graduation exercise suddenly loom nearer and the col- legian experiences vague misgivings as to his future role after he has received a di- ploma. For four years he has been a part of an existence that makes but little effort to teach the lessons of a world of uncompro- mising struggle for existence and suprema- cy. In many cases the student about to re- ceive his degree has failed to take advan- tage of the opportunities for individual en- terprise and achievement that have back- oned to him during his life as an under- graduate. Here the tragedy of unfitness for the life-struggle is particularly striking. During the period of his college years he has lived in what is essentially an environ- ment distinct from that of the outside world. Even if his academic efforts have been sincere and fruitful, he must inevi- tably suffer considerable pain in the proc- ess of breaking University ties. G Here is where the test of true courage enters; here is the point where, for the mo- ment, mental fortitude and courage over- shadow all scholastic honors or achieve,- ments. Confidence, a belief in one’s own capabilities, must have been developed dur- ing the past four years or mere knowledge of facts is pathetically inadequate.—Ohio State Lantern. TOT Reports of the “White House spokesman’s de- mise” were exaggerated. He has turned up in Northampton as the “spokesman of 21 Massaoit Street.”—New York Post. I “The two best arguments to use on any women should be placed firmly about her shoulders.” L What Other Editors Say yd‘ “HOW MANY WERE GOING—” “As I was going to St. Ives I met a ,man with seven wives; Each wife had seven sacks— Everybody knows the old rid- dle, but who was the rhymer? He should have been put in the pillory or the stocks, or left to meditate in the pound. He took a. poetic liberty, that is sure, for St. Ives knows no such man, and nobody can tell where the riddle came from. Maybe, it was a pleasantry, Written for the rhyme’s sake; for poets have been known to do such things. St. Ives might be a little amused at such an old wives’ tale, had it time for such trifles, but it has iany claims to better fame, rest- ing in securer ground. St. Ives is in the Cromwell country, and he lived near by. His barn is here, used as a drill- ing place. Broadway and Mar- ket Hill must have known his footsteps, where in older times theysold wood, with which, as the legends say, the early Brit- ons used to adorn themselves. Down this market way the water once flowed, for there was an old house there formerly with rings like a. boathouse, and so, tradi- tion says, the cattle market must have been held in boats. That is long since, and the Ouse runs placidly between its banks, cross- ed over by the dear old bridge with its little chapel in the mid- dle—the prettiest thing in St. Ives.—Christian Science Monitor. RENTING HER HATS. In Paris, be it known, the fash- ionable milliners not only sell hats, but rent them; but a hat a day did not keep the bill col- lector away from Mme. Cecile 'Sorel, Comtesse de Segur, noted French actress. This fact the justly celebrated artiste discovered to her discom- fiture in'a recent action in the Paris civil court. The law suit was typically Parisian, and could have occurred nowhere else on earth. Mme. Sorell attended the hear- ing of the case and gave an en- tertaining account of the way in which leading artistes were solicit- ed by dressmakers, milliners, manufacturers of footwear and even by makers of lingerie, who begged them to accept goods on account of the advertisement which this gave their shops. In the case_ before the court, it was the manager of the firm of milliners which had brought the lawsuit who had begged the actress to wear their hats. As she needed chapeaux 'de style (Mme. Sorell is a great exponent of Moliere), she sent various ar- tists to the milliner’s workrooms, and they designed suitable models. These hats were always returned after having been worn only once. After a time, the actress was notified that‘ a charge of 100 francs would be made for each hat, even though it was returned immediately, but Mme. Sorell de- clared that she had never accept- ed this condition, though she continued to order numerous hats. The court decreed the payment of 8,100 francs by the actress as “rent” for 81 hats.—Living Age. , THE AIM OF SCIENCE. Few speakers bring the bright- ening rays of humor to a scien- tific meeting so successfully as does Dr. Edwin E. Slosson. At the recent coal conference in Pittsburgh, he contributed this effort to define the aim of sci- ence: “Not long ago, I strayed into the lecture room of one of these new orientation classes that are supposed to set the compasses by which the young generation can find its way through the mod- ern world. The teacherasked a nice young lady student to state the aim of science. “She answered, ‘The aim of science is the study of nature so that man may learn to live in accordance with the course of na- ture.’ I could not express my indignation at hearing this false and heathenish definition pass unchallenged in a great univer- sity in this so-called twentieth century, and, although I was merely an on-looker in the class, I- rose in wrath to propound a counter definition that ‘The aim of science is. to enable man to seize the forces of nature so that he may frustrate the course of nature.’ “I could have improved on that definition by more consideration, but I think it hit the mark near- er than hers. There the ungrate- ful girl sat in a steel and con- crete building, artificially heated and lighted by electricity. She is likely to live 10 years longer than she naturally would, thankh to the frustration of the course of nature by science that she slaps in the face.”~—Boston Transcript. MOT THEY KNOW HOW TO DIE They are brave men, those Mexican generals at whose revo- lutions we laugh. Consider, for example, the case of General Jesus Maria Aguirre, who conduc- ted the revolt in Vera Cruz. He was captured, and to be captured in rebellion against the Govern- ment of Mexico means to die. He stood proudly against the wall, asked the soldiers not to hit his face, and without flinching met the bullets that ended his exis- tance. In an American military school was his son, a boy of 19, whose uncle also had faced a fir- ing squad a few days before. They told the boy his father was dead. Proudly erect, he took the news as his father had taken the bullets, turned on his heel and marched out. One of these days the young Aguirre, grown to manhood, may conduct a revolution. One of these days he, too, may be captured like his father, for such things are not uncommon in that strange country south of the Rio Grande. If so he will die according to the heroic traditions of his country. Mexicans reserve their most gal- lant gestnrefor their last~Kan- sas City imes. 0 At the offices of the state pro- hibition department recently, it was announced that a summary of the various inspectors in the em- ploy of the state shows that dur- ing the month of March 246 ar- rests were made, 133 stills were captured, 132,780 gallons of 'iii=.‘.:'-L“. were destroyed, and 2,663 gallons of whiskey were captured and de- stroyed, while 34 cars were taken into custody on the grounds that they were being illegally used.

A. Vaeth Edgcworth Extra High Grade Smoking Tobacco» ( Magazine Review The Easter Dance number of the Southern Collegian came out in time to keep the girls in a good humor and contains some interest- ing material. Those who have been on the campus a long time will remember that the Fancy Dress number was dedicated to the Fancy Dress girl. This is- sue is given over, other than dedi- cated, to the “sniveling spring.” But after all that is only the lirst page. Next comes a very colorful story by Wilton Garrison, former editor of the Ring-tum Phi and the Mink, which deals with life and love, of a sort, in the South Carolina swamps. This is followed by a show case of mixed opinion about “Memoirs of at Fox-Hunting Man,” by Sieg- fried Sassoon, the “talkies,” of which the writer, Hack, has seen two, and campus politics. The utter sophistication of the writer can be easily discerned, in fact it is pointed out in all these little skits. “The Washington and Lee Credo” supplements these opin- ions, and hereagain the author’s wilting‘ cynicism is a joy to the sophomores. The credo is very clever throughout and the writer of it will probably dismiss the present reviewer’s attitude by making the. remark, “Oh, but you see he knows me.” The credo 11213 received much favorable crit- icism on the campus. Everyone seems to be able to understand it, and it’s hard to write anything like that. A General Article. A rather general article of no small worth entitled “Our Uni- versity,” follows. It is by Selden Roberts. It seems to be a criti- cism of What the University .is or what it ought to guard against being, or both, or neither. “The Relation of Science Other Fields of Thought,” by William Davir, comes next. It is 3. little academic and therefore :10’; as many people will read it 21:. will read the humor section but those few who do will prob- ably get something out of it. With Good Points. Bill Hill writes a sentimental to yarn called “Everybody’s Dad,”l be about a character met on a train on the way to Washington. Be- sides the “Dad” the story con- cerns his girl (the writer’s, that is) his father, and the scenery. The story has its good points, one of which is the use of the word “potpourri.” _ Some quatrains by C. M. Smith follow. They also are a potpour- ri. Some of them are swell. Following them is a story b_v George'F. Ashworth in which he tries to prove that if a man doesn’t know anything about mathematics and can’t get along with women he may get to be a sea captain some day. The re- porter in the story is as dumb as a stage reporter and this doesn’t go over so big with the journal- ism school. There is one good point made though, a liner will keep its lines. Editorial Best. The editorial criticises every- thing in the editor’s usual bril- liant, keen, rather disorganized manner and is prob_ably the best thing in the magazine with the exception of one or two four-line poems, also by Sugrue. Alfred Trent concludes his very worthwhile article on Dryden. This is probably the most strict- ly educative piece in the issue. Students of English litemtui-4,: won’t waste any time reading.-; this. The poetry, book review, and humor sections conclude the num- ber. The first is short and sweet, the second is mighty well done and carefully, too, and reflccts credit on the book review editor, Cayce. The humor section probably the most popular thing in the magazine. It is a parody on a politician and is quite funny. But there is one thing wrong. The present reviewer happens to know that the humor editor hasn’t been an orphan for twenty years. is 0 Dr. James Lewis Howe, head of the Chemistry department, rep- resented the Lexington church at the Presbyterial meeting at Penn Laird, Va., Massanutten Cross Keys and Massanutten Cross Roads. ___0:%_ Dr. Henry Louis Smith will a»;.-.:>»:>-uscoii: oooor-oer-oo_W oooo»—-r--»—=o:oo P-‘ -:1»-—-»—aHoHtx:>o.;>o Pd©©bJ>~®©o$>-[0©l\')?> ooooooowoom Totals .......... .3‘ \Vashington and Lee.

Each year ap- proximately two thousand paddles are bought at the “New Corner” by freshman. These popular im- plements of college life are made at the local mill and sold at the “Corner” two for “two bits.” In some colleges the upperclass- men supply the paddles, in others the freshmen make them, but in Washington and Lee the freshmen have the privilege of buying them. Thus we have $250 for necessary college expenses, the new men supporting a local indus- try, producer and consumer being one and the same person, and a place where men really get their own in the end, which is enough distinction for any one school. couI1T iéihs Elect Leaders Looney And Davis To Cap- tain and Basketeers And Wrestlers, Respectively Blacksburg, Va.—Captains and Managers of Virginia Polytechnic Institute indoor teams for next year were announced here today. John 0. Looney, of Roanoke, will lead the 1930 varsity basket- ball team; Robert H. Welker, Nor- folk, will head the boxers, and William G. Davis, of Groseclose, Smythe county, will captain the wrestling team. Team managers for next year were announced as follows: Wil- liam B. Zimmerman, Bluefield, W. Va., varsity basketball; Clin- ton B. Gwaltney, Smithfield, fresh- man basketball; J. Robert Nich- ols, Jr., Bedford, varsity boxing. Junior managers of basketball are Ben F. Woodson, Richmond; Rob- ert C. Carter, Gate City, and John R. Kernan Max Meadows. W. G. “Wee Willie” Davis, in taking the reins of captain of the wrestlers, brings some outstand- ing experience to his new office. He stands six feet six inches tall and weighs 230 pounds. He has been a member of the team for three years and also represents the football and track teams. 0 “I think Salome’s dance before Herod lacked originality.” “It was just a take off from start to finish.” MYERS HARDWARE CO.

One school record was broken and another endangered as the Blue and White varsity and fresh- man track contingents scored a double victory at the expense of the University of Richmond here last Saturday. The Generals won handily by a 90 to 36 count while the yearlings piled up a 70 to 47 triumph. Baily, representing the fresh, bettered the discus mark by a margin of ten feet, heaving the platter 125 feet 8 1-2 niches. The former record established in 1924 by J. 0. Lewis stood at 115 feet 3 3-4 inches. Sandifer, dependable all-around varsity track athlete leaped 22 feet 1 3-4 inches, miss- ing the school record by less than three inches. Grabbing eleven firsts out of a possible fourteen, Captain Backus and his men had things muc htheir own way. The Richmond track- sters were‘ blanked in the cen- tury, 220, 440, pole-vault and broad jump. However, the Blue and White failed to score in the discus, and had to be content with a third in the shot put. The first year runners scored in every event, taking eight wins. High Point Men Finklestein of the fresh and Sandifer of the varsity had a spir- ited race for high point honors, the former finally winning by three points. Finklestein, former all-Florida sprint and hurdle champion won both sprints, the 220 yard low hurdles, and placed second in the broad jump to col- lect 18 counters.

Many Ineligible. Many might be the students who desired to become members of the club, but who would be forever barred due to the lack of a particular name. Perhaps not exclusive when the large member- ship is considered, yet the high degree of activity of the mem- bers and the prominence of many of them would serve to make the club, in its way, the most elect in Washington and Lee. Yearning men who owned the names of George, / Howard, Henry, Alfred, or anything except the necessary William, would realize to their sorrow that no matter how active they might be, and no matter how desirable they might be held, yet through their parent’s defec- tion in naming them as they did, they ‘would be on the outside looking in.

Of the character of the road, the writer of the article said: “This road is not passable; not even jackassable.” He said further: “At last we reached Goshen, when fervent prayers of thanksgiving were ofl’ered by the chaplain, differing somewhat in quality from those offered during the ride.” At Goshen the stu- dents on the trip took the train for Charlottesville. Some of the members of the group had never seen a train, and were somewhat frightened when it puffed into sight. One student ran and hid, but as soon as he perceived his classmates were standing their ground, he took a chance and got aboard the monster. In a little while his fears had so subsided that he wished to ride the engine to prove that he was no longer afraid of it. As familiar a sound to the stu- dents as the echoing horn of the stage driver, was the shrill whis- tle of the canal boat. The canal boat went from Lexington down North river and thence to Lynch- burg. The canal was primarily built to carry the products of Lexington and the surrounding country, to Lynchburg. The boat, however, had accommodations for passengers. It ran by mule- power. Two mules pulled it while two rested on the deck. A stu- dent wishing to go to. Lynchburg would take a berth on the canal boat in the afternoon. The boat, drawn at the rate of four miles an hour, arrived in Lynchburg sometime late the next morning or early the next afternoon, if everything went smoothly. The student would have to pay about three dollars for his meals, berth, and transportation to Lynchburg. Once in a while the canal would be put out of order because of a freshet in the river. Often it would take much time to repair the damage to the many locks. There were nineteen between Lex- ington and Balcony Falls. Service was suspended during the months of December, Janu- ary, and February, because the canal was usually frozen over at this time. - _ The old canal boat and the “It Pays To Look Well” 1 Sanitation The Law Service The Idea Modern Conveniences Expert Shoe Cleaning and Dying Walter’s Barber Shop W einberg’s M usic, Shop Lexington, Virginia Opposite New Theatre ' VICTOR and COLUMBIA AGENCY VICTOR Releases date Friday each week.

He is a member of the Delta Tau Delta social fraternity, the Sigma Delta Chi, professional journalistic fra- ternity; assistant editor of the Southern Collegian, and editorial associate of the Ring-tum Phi. Rowland H. Walker, who was elected business manager, stated Monday night that his main aim would be to increase the adver- tising so that the magazine could be enlarged.

It represents Washington and Lee to the hosts of relatives, alumni, and is essentially a visitors that are in Lexington dur- ing the week. They judge the University by impression they get of Finals. Visitors from V. M. I., up for the commencement of that school, receive a very definite im- pression of the University during their stay in Lexington. Thus Finals is more than a set of dances and more than a social event. It is a University func- tion, in which every student takes part and of which every student is prou.
