Ideas Regarding Women Students Have Changed; Girls Are The More Capable Students. The following is a reprint of an editorial which appeared in the New York Times under the caption “Cheers For the Ci-ed.” and which gives some interesting new view- points on the status of the much- maligned college girl. Men and women graduated from college within the last ten years have had much to say of late about the merits and faults of co-education. Parents with sons and daughters ready to enter college have been greatly interested. Some have recorded their experiences with those of their children who have al- ready had a year or two of the higher education. One arena offering itself to those for and against is Harpers’, which in the September number, gave ‘ side of the fieldto accommodate the a professor of English his say. The : Student Bbdy While those professorial point of View on the sub- ject, as expressed by Bernard De Veto, is one of ardent hope and con- findence in the co-ed. Judgment is Reversed By five years of co—educational in- struction, his judgment has been com- pletely reversed. He entered his first classroom with deeply rooted convic- tions of the impossibility of teaching women anything. They came to the university to get a husband, not an education. He knew that “most wo- men didn’t pretend to take education seriously, and that the few who did were not only esthetic atrocities, but also the most saddening numskull to be encountered anywhere by a vigor» ous mind.” But now he believes that the chief hope of preserving the ideals of liberal education lies with the col»- lege. girls. True, they wear “new fall crea- tions” and chilfon hose. They us; cosmetics liberally. They make a lecture room look like the dressing room of the chorus in a musical comedy and make it smell like a beauty parlor. Yet they also “are better material for education than til’! men, and rea(lier at acquiring it.” While the men are terrified at the prospect of social or intellectual change, girls are curious and willing to examine new ideas. The men re- gard college as a training school for a definite job. The girls are not pre- paring thcmsclves for a career, as a rule, but have room in their lives ‘fer “wisdom——and knowledge—and truth and beauty—and cultural develop- mentfiand individuality.” The men want to get through in order to enter business or a professional school. They resent and actively condemn” anything which may interfere with training for salesmanship of whatever kind. The girls desire to realize their full intellectual possibilities. Five years are hardly enough for examination of a subject so involved and difficult. Mr. De Voto emphasi- zes the fact that he speaks in gen- eralization of the average student, “the undistinguished young folk who are the backbone of the colleges.” He has tried to check up his observation by comparison with the experience of others, and admits that it is hard to get a unanimous opinion. His own is firm enough to be used by college girls as a sturdy background for their argument. It should infuriate the boy undergraduates, but if they are as complancent in their ignorance as he says, they, too, will doubtless be pleased. Law Clubs Plan To Resume WOl“k Plans are being made to resume work in the law clubs which were started last year in the law school, and clubs will be organized in each of the classes. These clubs are for the purpose of training men in actual practice in the courts, and are entirely voluntary. Much interest was shown last year, and it is expected that they will become a regular part of the University work. The Board of Student Advisers. wihch is composed of three men from the Intermediate Law class and four from the Senior Law class, chosen according to scholastic stand- ing, consists of: R. W. Jordan, chair- man; J. C. Wilbourn, secretary; W. F. Maynard, B. J. Wagner, H. M. Barker, R. D. Powers, Jr., and J. B. Towill. The members of the Board have prepared a pamphlet for use in the la wclub work which has gone to press, and which is exjected to be received and distributed the first of next week. of them 1 1 WASHINGTON AND LEE UNIVERSITY, WEDNESDAY, OCT. 5, SOPHOMORES There will be a meeting of the sophomores class Thursday night.

While no estimate of the number of people who will see the contest could be given, judging for the advance sale of tickets, the bleachers should be well filled. Extra stands will be erected on the on the stadium side will be sold as reserved seats. The reserved seat tickets are new on sale at McCrum‘s, the Corner or may be secured from the graduate manager personally. Captain Dick Smith has announced that no cars will be allowed on the field and requests that all who intend to witness the game bear that in mind so that there will be no unnec- sary confusion during the afternoon. Officials for the contest have been announced as follows: Carrington (YA.), refree; Arnold (V-a.), umpire; Klevesahl (Rich.), headliiresman. _____0__._ Tennis Temporaily Under Direction Of Coach Fletcher ,Due to the temporary inactivity of Coach Williams, fall tennis practice for Varsity and freshmen is taking place daily under the indirect super- vision of M1‘. Fletcher. Two main squads are out. One, di- rected by Max Turk, is composed of third and fourth year men, while the other, under" McCarty, contains the freshman and sophomers. Each squad is divided into two groups, and scheduled matches are played every afternoon between men in groups one and two in each squad. After these matches, scores are turned into Mr. Fletcher. This practice is uncovering some likely—looking men. The construction of the bridge at present makes two courts unavailable and for this reason no fall matches will be played. Upon completion of the bridge however, all courts will be available as they have been in the past and the spring season will go on as usual. ____0___ Creeks Continue To Pledge F rosh list pledged to fraternities since the issue of the Ring-tum Phi in which the first list was published: Alpha Tau Omega: T.

Judge McDermott, one of the trustees of the University, has al- ways been a staunch supporter and follower of Washington and Lee teams, and his continued interest is shown by the statements in the letter that he hopes to be here on the eleventh, and will also attend the Princeton game October 15. His letter follows: To the Captain of the W. and L. Football Team: Congratulations to you, and all of the team, not for- getting the substitutes and squad and your coaches, on your first victory. I hope to see you all in Lexington on the 11, and to be with you at Princeton on the 15, but as 5 my son is a senior at Prince- i ton I’ll have to be impartial. (Signed) Charles J.

DearT—Cam1:bell "F0 Talk To Freshmen There will be a meeting of the Freshman class in Lee Chapel Thurs- day evening at 7:30 o’clock. The speaker of the evening will be Dean Campbell, who will talk on the his- tory, traditions, and spirit of Wash- ington and Lee. According to Professor Latture, chairman of the Faculty committee on freshmen, the administrative offi- cers are Very much interested inthe record which the Freshman class is going to make in the matter of schol- arship as well as in student activities. They are expecting that fewer men will drop out of the class this year because of scholastic failures or in- ability to adjust themselevs to the campus ideals. m0.....__ Second V. C. Finds Two of 8 Present The second regular meeting of the V. C. was held on Tuesday, October 4, at eight o’clock. Ten charges were received for this meeting, but only two arrived on time. The others had to be hunted up, and one even had to be awakened from a peaceful sleep to attend the meeting. In the future all men receiving cards from theV. C. will bring three paddles instead of two, as has been the custom. “It is a serious offense for a freshman not to be present at the first meeting after receiving a card, and in the future the punish- ment will be doubled for says President Fisher. tardiness," iiiiKrBA'rTniaT EXPECTED TO as FEATURE 30111 Teams Fresh From Brilliant Victories; Warner System Used As Former Mates Meet When the fighting Generals of Washington and Lee line up against the Blue Devils form Duke university on Wilson field this Saturday the fans are going to be handed a choice foot- ball morsel. Both teams are fresh from brilliant performances in their games last Saturday, and Clarence Darrow himself couldn’t destroy the coinlidence of either eleven. Warner attack will be pitted against Warner attacksand as to the outcome——let anyone dare venture a prediction! An unusal and unique situation is to be found in this battle Saturday. Coach Pat Herron of the Generals and Jimmy DeHart of the Blue Devils are former teammates and All- Amcrican men from the University of Pittsburgh. Herron was on one of the wings and DeHart in the back- field. The. W. and L. mentor is former coach at Duke, while DeHart guided the destinies of the Generals up to two years ago. They are both ex- ponents of the Warner style of play. Assistant coach Palmer of the Cenerals romped in the backfield with Cameron and Tilson for a Blue and White eleven back in 1924. Cameron is now assistant backfield coach, and Tilson assistant line coach at Duke. It is possible that White, Howe, Stearns, and Barclay, all of whom have played under DeHart, will start i the backfield for Washington and Lee. This adds still further interest to this uncommon circumstance. There is also a possibility of Dorsey or Towill starting at left end. According to all reports from Dur- ham the Tar Heels’ hopes are high and they have every reason to be con- lidont. With the odds against them they journeyed to Boston to tackle the heavy Boston college eleven. When ' the smoke and cleared, the Irishmen had been handed their first defeat since 1925. The Blue Devils uncorked a spectacular criss—cross plunging at- tack, and a brilliant passing offensive which had the Boston boys bewilder- er throughout the game. “Big John Jankoskie” tore throught the line at will and accounted for four touch- downs, two in each half. The out- standing passing combinations were Buie to Adams and Jankoskie to Buie. Not a single Duke man suffered an injury in the clash, and seven who started the game finished it. . The unexpected victory caused a. frenzied celebration among the stu- dent body at Duke. A thousand cheer- ling students met the team at the trains, and held up traffic in Durham for nearly an hour. Luckily it was a holiday for the school on account of Benefactors Day. Because of the rainy weather the North Carolina boys had only a light workout Monday. They also went thorugh a light practice Tuesday, but Wednesday were sent through a stiff grind, scrimmaging against both the fresh and the second teams. The rest of the week will consist of only light workouts. None the less unexpected was W. and Us brilliant showing against the West Virginia Mountaineers. The Duke eleven is fully aware of this fact, but nevertheless are suspected to be a bit overconfident.

TO HAVE DANCES OR NOT HE term “Dance Regulations” has an ominous sound, but, so Iong as they are observed by the student body, no terrifying results will accrue, if past results are to be taken as a guide. A brief explanation of the system of dance control at Wash- ington and Lee is always in Vogue as the first informal of the year approaches, however, and it is to familiarize the new men with the rules here and to remind the old men of the necessity of their setting the example in the obedience to them that the regulations are being printed in full elsewhere in this issue. The university faculty committee on social functions frankly admits their failure at enforcing any kind of regulations, and in turning the control of the dances over to the student dance control committee they do it with the ultimatum of “good order or cessation of donces.” In line with this final word the executive committee has constituted the floor committee, and it is to them that the job of enforcing the regulations, impartially and strictly, has been given. Infliction of the prescribed penalties for violation of the rules has been done in the past, and will be done this year if occasion should arise to make such a step a necessary, those in charge have stated, and it is with a full understanding of their responsibilities that the members of the committee have accepted their positions. To make Washington and Lee dances the func- tions that they should be, however, the cooperation of every man aattending is necessary, and to insure the continuation of these pleasant evenings their strict adherence to the rules as outlined is imperative. (I CONGRATULATIONS, GENERALS OICING the sentiments of the entire student body, we are sure, we justly say to Captain “Horse” Tips and his team- mates wha saw service against West Virginia “Congratulations, Generals.” The Big Blue proved at Charleston that the title of “Fighting Generals” is no fiction, but a truly descriptive name aapplied to a great and powerful gridiron machine. Regardless of the talk to the contrary, Washington and Lee was rated as the under-dog by that masterful diagnoser of chances, the “betting fraternity.” Saturday morning West Vir—. ginia backers were willing to bet almost any reaasonable amount ii Ph°“‘3‘~‘i on the Mountaineers at five to three or 25 to 18 odds, or even" money that the Rodgers eleven would take the game by a margin: of 13 points or more. A strong desire to hedge was noticablei before the first quarter was over, however, as the Generals gave: evidence of their ability to hold the Old Gold and Blue at the same time to gain with fair consistency. West Virginia is no mean team to battle on equal terms.f Seasoned observers, who have been watching Mountaineers; elevens for years, are authorities for statements that the Morgan- ‘ town crew carries more dynamite in their punch this season than for several years, and their showing against West Virginia Wesleyan, whom they defeated by several touchdowns September 24, but who held their conquerers to a close decision in 1926, bears out this opinion. To the hundred or more students, and throngs of cheering alumni who witnessed the fray, the Generals looked like an en— jfi tirely different team from that which displayed only mediocre football against Lynchburg on Wilson Field ten days ago. The line charged as a unit on every play, and the backfield flashed such form and perfect interference on the offense that it was 3 only by desperate efforts that West Virginia was able to hold the ‘T local machine to a tie. The defensive power had improved a hundred per cent also, especially when combating forward passes. Whereas backs and? ends of othe opposition were frequently in the open in the Lynch— ‘ burg game, the Mountaineers were allowed to complete only two passes in ten attempts, and three of the remainder were inter- cepted. Truly a great team, but their real test is to come in the seven games remaining on the schedule. Duke, Princeton, and Mary— land are commonly rated as the hardest nuts to crrack, but if the entire student body gives the Generals support in these games preportionate to that given by the handfull of fans who made the 11;: journey to Charleston, their task will be made much easier. n WHEN A MAN IS NOT “GENTLEMEN” with the traditional “Hi, Gentlemen” too literally . At first the action of a great many of the new men in‘ speaking to one upper classman or professor with a “Hi, Gentle-, men” greeting Was quite amusing, but with the constant usage to which it is being put when the addressing should be in singular it seases to be humorous and becomes monotonous, and, withal, exasperating. 3 g‘- A bit of reflection on the part of the freshmen who are guilty i vi of seeing double every time they pass one old man would soon; result in the correction of this absurdity, we believe, and it is I with this constructive desire in mind that the matter is being should be dropped when only one man is passing. ;to have the backing of the l ‘ l l \V:ill21ce l}err;Raymond Hat- RESHMEN, numbers of them, are taking the admonition 1.0,‘; address old men when passing on the campus or down town ' called to their attention. 1 “Hi, Gentlemen” should always be used when passing two or i more studnets or members of the faculty, but the Gentlemenl THE RING-TUM PHI Michigan Youths’ Morals At Stake Ordered by the school board to ap- pear in class room Monday wearing .~=.mo<-ks “reaching to within 10 inches ol‘ the floor,” l(l8 women teachers of the llazcl l"ark, Mich., pulbic school have rel"used to obey the board’s edict, The teachers were understood suburb’s 1*arciits-teacher" organization.

With nearly 10,000 visitors in ‘town, including most of the “ed” and “co- ed” population of West Virginia and a moderate sized but exceedingly active contingent from Lexington, Charleston “blossomed out,” and proceeded to turn collegiate with a vengeance. The Mountaineers arrived Friday evening and were at once beset by impatient townspeople who wanted a little inside dope on the situation. The Generals arrived Friday night and were the guests of the Holley Hotel. With two big dances ahead of them and with two bands going full blast, everybody turned loose and sampled Charleston’s best. Saturday afternoon came around, and the army of collegians, towns- people, school kids from all over the state, and visiting business men had soon evacuated the city and were mixed up in a nice traffic jam on the roads leading to Laidley Field. Just before the game at 3 o’clock an air- plane swooped over the field and dropped a paper barrage. The Moun- taineer Band was on the field in force, playing “West Virginia, Hail” while the Charleston High School band took the Generals’ part and tootled the “Swing” most valiantly. The usual brigade of tardy fans straggled to their seats, and the game was on. What happened at the game is new a matter of history; suffice it is to say that the Generals upset the dope bucket and all calculations and set the Mountaineers down with a 6-6 tie for the best game in years. After the game the Washington and Lee men cut losse and showed the town what the Generals were capable of doing. Friday night there had been a (lance at the country Club; Saturday night an even bigger affair was given at the Armory with C0011 Saunders Original Nighthawks fur- nishing the noise. The boys had a great time. And now everthing in old Lexington is getting ready for the Duke game Saturday. Such is life. Froshf 61;; Holds Run-ofl: Election Membeils of the Freshman class met Monday night in Lee Chapel for the purpose of holding a run-off elec- tion for candidates for the Executive committee and Secretary-Treasurer. Those elected were: Executive com- mittee, Enoch Piersol; secreta1'y- treasurer, A. Seely. The offices of president, vice—presi- dent, and historian were filled Fri- day night, but election returns were incomplete in the other two contests due to the failure of the candidates to secure majoritites. Cotillion Club Elects New Men The Cotillion Club, holding its first meeting of the year last night, elected twenty-six new men to mem- bership, following which it com- pleted plans for the first informal of the year, which will be held Saturday night of this week.

Beasts of I New Hazing Stunt Massachusetts Agricultural College boasts an unusual hazing stunt that may be from old New England sys- tem of ducking village scolds and other people who had committed mil-Il offenses. The stunt is called the “Sixty—Man Rope Pull” and is an in- nual event at the college. This year’s pull, which was held recently resulted in the representatives of the fresh- man class being dragged thorugh the water and mud to their first defeat. Both classes presented a sturdy group of men, but the sophomores got the jump atthe start annd were .never headed from their lead. Upper- classmen, as usual, coached _ both sides, and slowly and surely the fresh- men were dragged towards the water’s edge. Here they rallied for a moment, but it was not long before the feet of the first yearling were wet. About four minutes from the starting gun, the line of freshmen had entered the water, after which it was merely a matter of time before the entire team was pulled through Pat: (after week-end party): Wasn’t Peg a wonderful chaperon Jimmy: Oh-h—h! was she our chap- eron? ” 0 Georgia Coach To Resign His Place Coach George “Kidd’ Woodruff, head coach at the University of Ga., for the past four years, announced Saturday that he would resign his position at the close of the present football season to pursue busines;< in-— terests in Columbus, Georgia, his home. His announcement was made at the alumni home—coming banquet in Athens after the Virginia—Georgia game, and came as a complete sur- prise to everyone. No probable suc- cessor has been named by officials of the university.

Y. During the.period_‘ of these cam- paigns $18--1227,29 was given for special purposes such as scholarships, l(.~.:.1n_ funds, and special equipment. Uutstan(llng' under this head is the addition to the physical assets of the University by the Athleticassociation of the athletic field and stadium to which the Athletic Association con- tributed $46,543.20 over and above the large amount put into it by the University. , The phenomenal success of these efforts caused many skeptics to criti- cize the campaign and to predict that subscribed amounts would never be c<‘llected.. However, to January 1, 1027, a total of $958,607.85 has been paid in on subscriptions to endowment and equipment; $34,967.67 to the School of Journilisni, and $184,227.20 for aid funds and scholarships. The total of collections since 1913 aggre- gate $1,177,802.72.

More than 100 students attended and after they had met the congregation, there was a social gathering and dance at the r’ectory. Music was furnished by a three piece orchestra and re- freslnncnts were servel later.
