For Exams VOLUME XXXI TWO HUNDRED DELEGATES A T THIRD MEETING Annual Gathering December 15 to 17 at Lincoln, Neb.; Miller Speaks. NEXT MEET AT MISSOURI Studies International Relations Particularly; Travel Convention Emphasized. E. H. Miller, student body of Washington and Lee, and the University’s representative to the National Student Federation of America convention, in Lincoln, Neb., December 15 to 17, was elected president of the federation for this year. Since its formation in 1925, this federation of students has passed beyond the experimental stage, and has become a well established stu- dents’ union. Washington and Lee is signally honored by Miller’s elec- tion. The convention this year was one of the most enthusiastic which has yet been held. Nearly two hundred delegates were present the opening day, representing colleges and uni- versities of the entire United States. The University of Missouri was selected as the next meeting place for the federation. Initiations for the next meeting were received from many of the universities of the country, and among them was an invitation from Hawaii to hold the convention in Honolulu two years hence, in conjunction with the Pan- America Union session there. The delegates, in group discussion, showed a lively interest in the Wash- ington and Lee honor system. It was explained by Miller in one of these group meetings, and was ac- claimed the most perfected and out- president of the standing honor system which is in. force in any American college. The standing committees were formed include committees on inter—relations, travel, student gov- ernment and organization. These committees present the tangible work of the National Student Feder- ation. The most interesting and probably the most important of these is the committee concerning travel. It is the aim of the federation to put special emphasis on arranging for students who come to America from other countries, and those who go from here to foreign countries for study and travel. During the summer of 1927 the N. S. F. A. was admitted to the Confederation Internationals des Etudiants, at the Congress which that body held in Rome. This con- siderably broadened the scope of the union in the realm of international affairs. The National Students’ Federation of America and the Con- federation Internationals to which they were admitted, were both founded upon the same ideals, and the students who are present as delegates represent institutions of the entire world. The standing committee of the Lincoln, Neb., meeting of the N. S. F. A. prepared a report on the two‘ types of travel opportunities which; They were defined as are offered. follows, and are some of the tangible results of the convention: “The N. S. F. A. as a full mem- ber of the Confederation interna- tionale des Etudiantes recognizes that it now has official responsibili-I ties in the work of building up inter-’ national friendship and understand- ing, in which travel plays such an important part. In this spirit it accepts the invitation of the Euro- pean members of the C. I. E. to send 100 representative students to Europe in the summer of 1928. “The National Student Unions in all countries in Europe have planned ten interesting programmes, each of which gives an extended stay in one country with visits to the neighbor- which ' 'sitaire. WASHINGTON AND LEE UNIVERSITY, SATURDAY, JAN. JWNCUCMBER 26 Finals Campaign In Progress From Friday To Monday The drive for Finals subscriptions is now in full swing, the campaign beginning Friday and continuing till Monday night. All other arrange- ments are progressing rapidly, and the success of this year’s Finals de- pends upon the early assistance of the student body. The finance com- mittee urges that this matter be attended to before Monday night, and has placed tables in the Corner, Washington College, and Newcomb Hall, for collecting subscriptions. A personal campaign will be con- ducted sometime after exams, but it is hoped that everyone will volun- tarily subscribe now, postdated checks being accepted. The customary fee of ten dollars will be charged to those staying for Finals and five dollars to all others. Nothing has been definitely decided, but it is probable that Jan Garher will furnish the music. __¥_()__.__ Photographer To Return White’s Studio will return mediately before, or during, Fancy Dress to take the remaining photo- graphs necessary for the Calyx. McRee Davis, Editor of the Calyx, urges that every student who has not had his picture taken, be sure to have this done at this time, as this will be the last chance. London, includes a week in the Inter- national Student Centre in Geneva, and ends in Paris, where the stu- dents will live in the Cite Univer- Through the official con- nection with academic authorities and prominent men and women ac- tive in various fields the student hosts are able to offer opportunities for seeing the more intimate side of national life, and of meeting those best able to interpret it. “The work of coordination of the programmes is in the hands of the third commission of the C. I. E., the commission for International Rela- tions and Travel established in 1914 with its headquarters at 3 Endsleigh Street, London. “The delegation will be selected from among the more mature-mind- ed students, who are able to ex- pound American life and to take a serious interest in European affairs. They should preferably have a fair knowledge of the language of the country that they will be concentrat- ing on, and will travel in groups of about ten, under the leadership of a responsible senior or graduate. There will be 60 men and 40 women in all. “The arrangements in America for the delegation are in the hands of the N. S. F. A. committee on Foreign Relations, with headquarters at 218 Madison Avenue, New York.” The other group of students com- ing under the head of general vaca- tion tours.

This decision was made after ‘negotiations with a number of the famous orchestras throughout the country, among which were: Ted Weems, Cass Hagan, Johnny John- son, Jean Goldkctte, Jan Garber, California Ramblers, Red Nickols, Jack Crawford, and Guy Lombardo. Naylor’s orchestra has been playing at the Arcadia Ball Room in Detroit for the past nine months, and is proclaimed to be one of the leading bands in the country at the present time. The orchestra was recently reorganized and now includes one of Lhe world’s outstanding trumpet and trombone players. Naylor’s new band opened in De- troit last spring for an indefinite engagement, depending upon the success and popularity of the orches- tra. Their success merited a stay of nine months. After playing for Fancy Dress they will return to Detroit for a new engagement of six months. The position that the orchestra holds in Detroit is envi- able, the Detroit “prom trotters” considering them the finest players in that section of the country. Those who remember Naylor’s successful appearance at Dress two years ago, are looking forward to a brilliant performance. The members of the Music Commit- tee state that they consider them- selves very fortunate in securing the services of an orchestra that has won such an outstanding reputation. Work on the decorations for the [Ball is fast progressing under the }direction of Professor Gill, and it is (Continued on Page 4) l T Fancy ' FIRST LOCAL CONTEST Bridgewater Outclassed as Spotts and Teammates Run Up 48-18 Score Before 500 Spectators. The Generals opened their home season last night with a 49-18 vic- tory over Bridgewater college in a listless and unexciting game. Cap- tain Spotts and his men completely outclassed the collegians from up_; binations picked from the remainder state and from the opening whistle: of the Squad‘ it was merely a question of how high the final score would" run. A gallery of five hundred turned out to watch the Blue and White in their initial appearance in Doremus Gymnasium, but there was little enthusiasm due to the one-sidedness of the contest. The opening of the game found Lowry and Eiglebach starting at forwards with Joynes and Wood at guards and Spotts at the pivot post. Spotts sank the opening basket after a minute of fast playing. For the next ten minutes Jim Lowry ran wild through the Bridgewater de- fense sinking four short shots be- sides two fouls when the collegians were guilty of holding in an effort to guard him more closely. Eigle- bach came through at the same time with two pretty shots following ex cellent passes from Spotts and Lorry. I Bridgewater finally broke into the scoring column with a foul by Pense after being held scoreless for over ten minutes. Glick, the visi- tors captain and only threat, then followed this with a neat shot from the side of the court. Baskets by Spotts, Joynes, and another by Glick then followed in fast order. ‘Spotts sank a foul and then Coach _ Smith sent in a complete new team with the exception of Spotts who remained on the floor. White and Ebert went in at the forward posts while Howe and Groop went in for (Continued on Page 4) §Dr. Stevens Dies December 29; Home j And Effects Destroyed By Fire Jan. 3 I In the midst of the Yuletide fes- tragedy stalked abroad. i At 1:30 P. M. Thursday, December 29, it laid its icy grip upon the ‘home of Dr. Walter Le Conte Stevens, professor emeritus of {physics at Washington and Lee, and ‘lifted him from a life of service and [spirituality to the Beyond. Death was due to paralysis. Doctor Stevens, A. B. (University of South Carolina, ’68) and Ph. D. (University of Georgia, ’82) served as professor of physics for twenty- four years until succeeded by Dr. Benjamin A. Wooten in 1922. He studied in Strassburg, Berlin and Zurich from 1890 until 1892 and re- turned to America to teach at a college in New York state until he came to VVashington and Lee in 1898. He was a member of Phi Beta Kappa and author of many books and articles on optics and securities. Around Lexington Doctor Stevens was best known as an authority on music, and he owned a famous collection of records, includ- ing the entire scores of thirty operas. Funeral services were con- ducted Saturday by Dr. Churchill Gibson, and the scientist was laid to rest in the local cemetery. And yet the specter was not con- >tive season the relentless specter of‘ 1 the early hours it leaped upon. the flame.

The occupants of the house, Mrs. Stevens, her widowed sister, Mrs. Robert J. Showell, and an elderly gentleman, Colonel John Letcher, took shelter at the nearby home of Dr. H. D. Campbell. They managed to save some of the family jewelry. Furniture that was presented to the Letcher family, builders of the house, by the family of Robert E.! Lee, was destroyed and many per- sonal effects of the late Doctor Stevens were demolished. Among these were a great many of the records in his famous collection. Jewelry amounting to considerable value is said to be still within the debris, all of which will be carefully sifted. The second floor of the building’ fell at about five A.

A. captain and Hard-i wick in the forward position on his tentative first team. Leigh VVill- tain, seems to be running away from the field in the fight for the center berth, but Pilley, Faulkner, Scott and Thibodeau are having a merry scramble for the guarding jobs. Hanna was getting the call for a forward berth pretty regularly be- fore Christmas, but he contracted a case of mumps which put him in the hospital. He is now back in uniform, however, and will make a strong bid for a position on the first team. Levine, Homer, and Barron are also pushing ahead of the pack and are on the road to see much service before the campaign is over. Coach Davis stated that the num- ber of candidates for this year’s team is much larger than the num- ber who turned out last season. He is well pleased with the general ap- pearance of the squad but refuses to make any other statement until he has seen more of the individual candidates. 0_____ Memorial Bridge Will Be Complete In 18 More Days The Class Memorial bridge from more good days, Captain Dick Smith stated yesterday.

BEEN IN VOGUE » FOR 46 YEAR 5 iAthletic Department Believes ‘ Change To Be Very Beneficial. NO P. M. CLASSES ON SAT. Four Periods In Morning, Hour for Lunch, and Two In Afternoon. Departing from the schedule in vogue here for nearly fifty years, so far as can be learned, classes will run on a six-period basis next ses- sion, the faculty announced reecntly. The new daily program calls for four periods during the forenoon, running from 8:30 until 12:30, and for two in the afternoon, starting at 1:30 and 2:30. There will be no afternoon classes Saturday, under the plan as adopted, and the lunch hour will come between 12:30 and 1:30. This rearrangement of the daily routine of the University was de- cided upon by the Faculty at its December 19 meeting, but had been up for consideration since early in the fall. The entire matter was thoroughly threshed out in several faculty sessions before final action was taken. Ever_V possible effect of the change upon all departments and extra.- curricular phases of activity in the university was carefully studied by committees and by the individual faculty members most acutely af- fected, and it was not until it was shown that no detrimental results would occur to any existing school functions that the change was order- ed. Under the tentative class schedule as proposed by a committee ap- pointed to study the project, the vast ma_iority of the laboratory sections _\vill meet between 1:30 and 3:30, instead of from 3 to 5 as at present, although it will probably be neces- sary to schedule some sections from 3:30 to 5:30 under the new ar- rangement. Particular attention was given in the preliminary study to the effect of the change on athletic practice periods in the university.

They pointed out that where under the present schedule , candidates for teams report at 3:30 immediately after eating a heavy meal following five hours class or study routine, tired and sluggish, they believe that, eating a lunch at 12:30 and having possibly one class in the afternoon, the ma- jority of the men can report fit or -1, ‘Smith, who expects to announce at for practice at 3 Oydock’ or at 3:30 ,at the latest.

NO CHEERS—NO SWING HE Generals played and won their first home basketball game of the year last night, but the absence of the usual cheering and singing of the “Swing” at the opening of each half was noticed and commented on by the student body almost as much as was the victory. It may be argued that in a game such as last night's. where the outcome might have been expected, cheering and organized support to the team was not necessary. We do not agree with this position, however, and feel that the sentiment of the student body calls for cheers and singing at every athletic con- test, whether in a major or minor sport. True, last night’s encounter was not a conference game, nor was it one which will have any bearing on the state standing of the Generals. Nevertheless, the morale of the team, and the resultant fighting spirit which is required to carry the Blue and White to victory in most court games will be less if the men do not feel that the student body is behind them every minute. Spasmodic cheering greeted good performances, and the speedy floor work, frankly surprising to many local fans who had not seen the team in action before, called forth applause at intervals, but the customary pep was lacking between halves and just before the game started. We feel that this situation should be reversed at the William and Mary game Monday night, and believe that the Generals deserve organized cheering before the game, between halves, and at opportune times when time out is taken during the play- ing periods. all means the custom of singing the “Swing” at the opening tip-off of each half should not be allowed to lapse.

A total of 41 colleges and universities were studied, 20 of these being chosen because of their similarity in some manner or other to Washington and Lee. Of those studied, only two, Vanderbilt and Hampden-Sidney, were found to be running on the W. and L. 9-to-'2 five-hour schedule. Princeton, which until a few years ago held classes from 9 until 2:15, is now on the 8:30-to-3:30 basis, as are other schools which formerly adhered to a five-period arrange- nwmqym a~ TO HAVE NAYLOR PLAY 7 (Continued from Page 1) expected that the 1928 Fancy Dress will surpass all the Balls of previous years. Mr. Gill has won praise and admiration throughout the south for his work, and it is generally con- sidered that the success of the Fancy Dress Balls, called “the outslaiidiiig social event of the South,” by the New York Times, is largely due to his labor. IV. P. Woodley, President of Fancy Dress, stressed the lIll})O1"l2.1llC0 of every one securing an approved cos- tume, and desires all who have not already ord<‘red their costumes to ment. Dr. B. A. Wooten, representing the School of Applied Science, is chairman of the committee drawing up the schedule for the six-hour day. The other members of the committee are C. E. L. Gill, editor of the University catalogue; John Graham and E. K. Paxton, repre- senting the College of Liberal Arts; C. E. Williams, representing the School of Law, William Coan, rep- resenting the School of Commerce; and Forest Fletcher, representing the department of physical educa- tion. Their report is due to the faculty within the next few weeks for consideration, as the 1928 cata- logue is scheduled to go to press early in March or before. The chief arguments of those who please do so at the Gymnasium be—l tween 3 and 5 o’clock Monday after—l noon. He urges that all those who will take part in the figures attend to this matter immediately, and toi wire for their girl's measurements; at once if these have not yet been! secured. Thomas G. Gibson and; Howard Tayloe will be at the Gym- nasium Monday afternoon to take the last orders for costumes. Invitations for Visitors may be secured from either Howard Tayloe, at the Beta Theta Pi house, or Graham Gibson, at the Phi Gamma Delta house. It is requested that these invitations be gotten at once,‘ in order to avoid a last minute rush.‘ In accordance with the (lance regula-fl tions each man having a visitor will be responsible for the visitor’s be-ii favored the change from the five- hour basis were as follows: ‘ .A six-hour schedule would relieve the congestion in required courses and would allow greater freedom in havior at the dances.

Gen- eral Electric quality has attained universal recog- nition; the world over, you will find the G-E monogram on apparatus that is giving outstanding service. ELECTRI Discovered for $72.06 Old records show that the cost of Columbus’ first expedition to America arnounted, in modern exchange, to only $7200. To finance COIUEIIDIZS, Isabella, Queen of Spain, offered to pawn her jewels. Today word comes from Spain indicating ’;hat a twentieth century importation from the new world .ast effect- ing a sufficient saving to ransom many royal jewels. The Spanish Northern Railway reports that the American equipment with which in 1924 the railroad electrified a mountainous section of its lines from Ujo to Pajares has accomplished the following economics: 1. 2. A 55% saving in the cost of power. A reduction of 40% in the number of engine miles for the same trafic handled. A saving of_73%% in the cost of repairs and upkeep for lOCOI‘I'IOt1V€S. 4. A saving of 63% in crew expenses. 5. A reduction of 31% in the cost of moving a ton- kilometer of freight. 3. In every part of the world, electricity has replaced less efficient methods and is saving sums far greater than the ransom of a queen’s jewels. You will always find it an important advantage in your work and in your home. C COMPANY. SCHENECTA Y.‘
