VOLUME XXXI Uh» Ring-tum BY THE STUDENTS, FOR THE UNIVERSITY ciersmcnaiasc AND LEE UNIVERSITY, wi:fiNEsnAy, MARCH Ii, 13:? W Seasons Open Soon NUMBER 40 AWRESTLER MAY BE GIVEN MAJOR SPORTS LETTER Athletic Council Must Put Final 0. K. Before Passed MATHIS ADVANCES IDEA Rapidly Growing In Many of Larger Colleges in East, VVest Custom The possibility that a wrestler might win a major monogram was create(l by the action of the Athletic Council last Monday night in ap- proving the suggestion submitted by Coach Mathis that a wrestler should be awarded a major monogram (1) if the team goes through a season without a defeat at the hands of a Conference foe, (2) if an individual wins all his bouts during a season, or (3) if an individual wins the con- ference championship in his parti- cular weight. Coach Mathis got his ideas from Yale, Princeton, Lehigh, Illinois, Ohio State, Michigan, Minnes- ota, Indiana, Penn State, and a num- ber of other large schools where the plan has proved successful. It was not asked that wrestling be made a major sport, but Coach Mathis feels that a minor monogram! does not offer enough incentive for a man in such a strenuous sport. He contends that there is quite as much work in the wrestling game as in other sports and the difiiculty of put- ting out a good team is increased because most of the men who have had experience will not come out due to the lack of incentive. The coach is usually confronted with a squad of whom 90 per cent have never had any experience in wrestling. With the major monogram in sight under the aforementioned conditions, Coach Mathis feels that a better percentage of the men with ability in school will come out for the team and arise the stock of Washington and Lee in the wrestling field_ The Athletic Committee approved the letter of Coach Mathis in sub- stance and turned it over to Secre- tary Fletcher that it might be worded in accordance with the monogram re- quirements now in efiect at Wash- ington and Lee. 0_. .__ “Red Hair” Shown Here Last Week In World’s Premier The New Theatre, Ralph I. Daves, manager, had the distinction of ex- hibiting the world’s premier show- ing of Clara Bow in “Red Hair” when that film was shown here Fri- day and aturday of last week, it has been learned. This latest Bow film is advertised to Baltimore movie fans as having its world premier at Stanley-Gran- dall’s, Stanley theatre there this week, the company’s advertisement in Sunday papers stating that “Red Hair’ sent here by messenger from California” in order to give Balti- more the first showing of the pic- ture. _ Daves secured the first showing for his house here when he advised his booking agents that he needed a big hit for the week—end’s two-day performance, and, since the film had arrived in the East before its sched- uled appearance in Baltimore, it was sent here, going directly back to the Maryland city for its first pre-ar- ranged showing Monday. _0j_ U. N. C. Boxers to Try For National Title team of the Univer- sity of North Carolina, recent win- ners of the Southern Conference championship, will journey to Phila- delphia the latter part of this week in an effort to annex the intercollegi- ate crown. The title tournament is to be held next Friday and Satur- day, in the Penn Palestra. Penn State, last year’s champions, will defend its laurels against a strong field, which includes the Naval Academy, Syracuse, the University of Pennsylvania, New York Uni- versity and Georgetown University. _____0_.____ GOLF CANDIDATES All candidates for the golf team will meet Friday at 7 P. M. on first floor of Newcomb hall. The boxing Periwig To Make Next Appearance On First of May The “Perwig" wil lmake its next appearance on or before May 1, ac- cording to T. J. Sugrue, editor. This issue will be a great improvement over the last in every respect, ac- cording to authorities. The magazine itself will be enlarged, and a more attractive cover design is to be used. It will contain a play by Ted Harris, New York playwright, and several others not yet lined up. There seems to be a popular de- sire among the Student Body that the name be changed to the “South- ern Collegian,” and the editors are contemplating this change. Before the next issue comes out, it is planned to make a canvass of the campus for subscriptions to include that issue and the four issues of next year, A bulletin will also be sent to approximately 2000 Washing- ton and Lee alumni in which the magazine will be put before them as a project for their criticism, and any improvements they may suggest. A subscription blank will be includ- ed in this bulletin, and it is hoped that they will respond generously. If 500 subscriptions at $1.25 can be secured for the next five issues, a contract will be given for them. In this case the Hybiscus Club will be able to make the University an offer of the magazine as its official organ. This cannot be done unless the mag- azine is thus made a self-suporting project. Students and professors have been asked to send in any material which they have, or to see the editor about subjects or ideas for stories or es- says they may wish to work on. ——o RELATIVES AND FRIENDS BURY BROCK SUNDAY Students of Washington and Lee quietly buried John Chriaman Brock, a classmate until his death last Sat- urday, in the Woodbine cemetry at Harrisonburg last Sunday afternoon at three o’clock. Services were held at the Presbyt- erian church, with Doctor Wilson of- ficiating. There were fifteen flower girls, some of whom were from the ITGHT PQUINTETS REMAIN IN FIGHT AFTER Two DAYS Fraternity Loop Games Have Been Close; One Point Decisions LOW SCORES FEATURE Inability to Locate Basket and Close Guarding are Much in Evidence With only eight out of the twenty Greek letter quints remaining in play the inter-fraternity basketball tourna- ment will enter the tri-final stage today. The Kappa Sigma, last year’s vic- tors, were eliminated last night by the fast Phi Delta Theta aggrega- tion, 25 to 15. Phi Epsilon Pi, run- ners up of last year, were also eli- minated by the Phi Kappa Sigmas, 25 to 19. The game was fast throughout, with both teams sinkink them with no mean ability from be- Harrisonburg State Teachers’ College, and the remaining ones from the town. Music was furnished by the church choir. The active pallbearers were Charles Strahorn, Reese Stipes, W. H. Rear- don, Vickers Watts, Lenwill Hollo- man, all fraternity brothers of Brock, John Garber, ’26, also an Alpha Chi Rho, Homer Switzer, and Frank Roll- er. Honorary pallbearers were Edward Nix, William Cassell, R. J_ Haller, Robert Thrift, Rod Moffett, Horace Barker, Charles Amole, Brecken- ridge Heaps, James Crane, Edwin Wilcox, Reno Porter, with E. S.

Brock died at 6:35 Saturday morn- ing, from complications arising from pneumonia, and his body was taken to his home about noon of the same day. He was 21 years old, and be- sides being a member of the Alpha Chi Rho social fraternity, was promi- nent in musical activities at Wash- ington and Lee. 0______ Gym Team Gives Annual Exhibition The Washington and Lee Gym team, coached by Cy Twombly, gave its yearly exhibition, Friday af- ternoon in the Doremus Gym before a fair crowd.

Students who, for some reason, have not subscribed will be seen by members of the follow-up commit- tee and asked to contribute some- thing to the Finals fund. Many students not having decided whether or not they will remain for Finals have given only $5. They will be asked to add something to that amount if they have decided to stay over_ Should the next campaign fail to get the needed $2000 then another campaign will follow it and so on until the Finals budget is provided for, Howe said. 0 BARNETT, ’27, MARRIED Announcements have been receiv- ed here of the marriage of Richard Stuart Barnett, A.

Mr, and Mrs. Barnett are now located at Alteimer, Ark., where the former is engaged in the lumber business. J. STITT WILSON PROVES POPULAR TO W. & L. MEN J. Stitt Wilson, lecturer on science and philosophy, and former mayor of Berkley, California, was enthusiastic- ally received by the student body in his address at the University as- sembly Monday. His theme centered around the fact that “Un- easiness among American educators is one of the most hopeful signs in 011 American education.” Education was divided into three aspects by Mr. Wilson. These were: Power, Creative Education, and Moral and Spiritual Education. With the aid of a blackmoard he illustrat- ed these points. In his address, Mr, Wilson referred at some length to the experiments now being conducted at the Univer- sity of Wisconsin by Dr. Alexander Meiklejohn. system he mentioned thatthere were no classes, no ringing of class bells and no examinations. j__o__j_ DR. WHITE ADVISES CARE AGAINST GRIP In explaining the new Sleep well, eat regularly and prop- erly, keep in the best condition pos- sible, is the advice to students who would avoid the grip, given by Dr. Reid White, University physician. There have been quite a number of cases of grip here lately. Dr. White has himself been confined to his bed since last hursday. Dr. C. H. Davidson and Dr. 0. H. McClung have been looking after his practice and the student body, 192lslmGRADUA TES CHOOSEEA REERS D1 AMQND TEAM§ HOLD GAME EACH AFTERNOON NOW Spotts, Jones, Lowdon Eiglebach Hold Old Positions IN OUTFIELD and TIPS Last Year’S Yannigans Pushing Regulars Hard For Their Places Coach Smith’s varsity ball tossers, with all preliminary work over, are now getting down to serious busi- ness with daily clashes between the regulars and scrubs. Captain Dick is breaking his pitchers in very slowly in order to escape sore arms or other injuries before the real sea- son starts. Spotts, Jones, Lowden, and Eigle- back are the only members of last year’s first team who have been running in their old positions, Tips having been used lately in the center garden with Jones doing the bulk of the receiving and White being placed at second where he has been showing up exceptionally well. Ei- glebach has been troubled recently with a minor injury but will resume his old position at third in the next day or so. Hickman, last year’s first string substitute, is holding down right-field and Franklin is leading the candidates at short-field. All regulars will have to speed up if they wish to retain their pos- itions, for the scrubs, under the tnti- lage of Tip Gwaltney, are presenting a formidable resistance in the daily contests and a number of them are beginning to show exceptional abil- ity. In yesterday's scrimmage the regulars struck a snag in the offer- ings of Atwood who had them com- pletely under his control during his term on the mound, and the regulars suffered a defeat after having sound- ly trounced the scrubs the day be- fore. Folliard took his regular turn for the varsity and breezed through in his usual good style, The warm weather has greatly as- sisted Coach Smith in getting his team into first class condition for the opening encounter with Cath- olic University here March 30, —?——-O Dean Confers With F rats on .Liquor Problem A representative fraternity meet- ing called by Dean Harry Campbell was held on the second floor of New comb hall, Monday night at 8 o’clock. The purpose of the meeting as stated by the Dean was to discuss the problem of keeping intoxicating liquors out of fraternity houses and other complex problems bordering on it. Dr. Campbell said that he had city chief of police that several com- plaints from citizens had been filed, and that he wished to warn the frat- ernities that if similar complaints continued to be made, action would be taken, In the discussion following the statement of Chief King, the dean, added that if any fraternity house were raided by the civil authorities and the fraternity was found guilty, he would be forced to notify the na- tional headquarters of the fraternity, thus jeopardizing the charter of the local chapter. He stated further that any student or students arrested would be dismissed from the univer- sity. In conclusion, the Dean declared this meeting was held only in the interest of the fraternities. 0 Grid Squad Drills The football squad is progressing rapidly in its daily work-outs.

NATIONALLY SPEAKING BSOLUTE freedom must be granted the college press if it is to become a forceful and responsible factor in student opinion, according to Norman Studer, editor of The NEW STUDENT in a speech before the twelfth annual meeting of the National Association of Deans of Women at Boston. Mr. Studer would have college authorities and student governing officials keep their hands off the college press. College cclitor.~: here and there have been demanding more free- dom to criti:-:0 the college and their teachers, according to the speaker. This new spirit of criticism, which has only appeared in college _l()l.il’llELliSH’l since the war, is continually bringing on conflicts between editors and college authorities. “During the past five months, for instance, there have been five major cases of editors dismissed for outspoken editorials.” “Here we have an attitude that is all too uncommon that in my estimation is the only attitude for the enlightened executive. Any other course will be disastrous to the growth of a sense of responsibility and a spirit of true leadership that a free press in- sures. One college president recently made what would seem to be a very innocent qualification to the right of free expression, but which is actually a dangerous weapon for a college president to wield. He said that he reserved the right to censor student expression that went beyond good taste. Another president told a conference of school editors recently that he was heartily in favor of full liberty for college editors, with restrictions only when the publications assume so radical a stand that the good name of the school is actually at stake. These two definitions of freedom are merely a license for any sort of censorship that those in power care to impose. It leaves a gap as wide as a barn door for the censor. This is not a new attitude of liberalism, but merely another way of phrasing the old attitude. Until a college })l’€fi§ltiCi1t says that he will tolerate poor taste in his col- lege cilitors for the sake of devoloping their responsibility, I cannot take his liberalism very seriously. That is the only sort of a point of view that should exist in a really enlightened col- lege. There are libel laws, and laws against obscene litera- ture that ought to suffice for the college community. For the canons of taste are too relative to apply in these matters. “The relation of the college editor to student opinion is, I would say in conclusion, no different from the relation of the editor of the Boston Transcript to the people of Boston. Both editors have responsibilities to their communities, both ought to It ve the right to their own opinions. The student opinion which the college editor should mold and inform is not yet fully articu- late. Only here and there small groups of students are begin- ning to have serious and articulated opinions on what ought to be their most vital interest—that is, the way they are taught. It is the college editors who are bringing this opinion to light and crystalizing it. In this task I believe they ought to be aided and encouraged even if their opinions are sometimes bitter and adverse. The college cannot afford to stay this growth of stu- dent opinion, and I do not believe that it will be so unreasoning as to try to.” n HOW SHALL IT BE HANDLED? HE ASSOCIATION of the bar of the city of New York has followed the example of the law association of Philadelphia in debating and lkllilllg’ the sense of its members on the eighteen- th amendment and the Volstead law. It decided by a vote of three to one after hearing both sides of the question thoroughly discussed that the amendment and the law based upon it “should be repealed and the whole subject of prohibition remanded to the sole regulation of the several states.” The Philadelphia organization, drawing attention to the evils resulting from the Volstead act and emphasizing the duty of lawyers to do their part in combating them, urges other bar as- sociations to go on record on the issue. A few days ago a ballot taken among ministers of the Episcopal church showed that a large majority believed that the Volstead act has proved to be a failure. Such utterances are significant as showing that there is a widespreacl and eminently respectable sentiment in the country ' ready to advocate repeal of the eighteenth amendment and a still larger sentiment in favor of modifying the Volstead law. It flat- ly disputes the notion that leaders like Governor Ritchie and Governor Smith are committing political suicide when they pro- pose that their party shall not run away from the question, but face it frankly and courageously.——Baltimore Sun. The Gray Phantom “What price glory?” “Cork-raiser” Ike and “Loopy” Finchley, students at this institu- tion, really “got off” last Satur- day. Since it was exactly 21 week prior to St. Patrick’s day, the boys went to a nearby town to celebrate. And they did! But the mini- ons of the law greatly desired to learn exactly the cost of afore- mentioned glory, or else they too, wanted to celebrate. Any- way, they held quite a melee in the midst of town. “Loopy” cleared out after learning of the better effects of the legal “bump- raiser.” But old “Cork-raiser”——hcro of many uprisings, bravely stood olf the emissaries of John Law, actually resorting to physical violence when they would not be- lieve him when he said they could not arrest him. One by one the coppers fell. But old “Cork-raiser” was doomed. They fixed him up—put him where he could soon learn that stone walls do quite a prison make. Still—he wouldn’t stay pjut, and before long was breathing unfettered air once more. Just ask old “Cork-raiser” what’s the price of glory and he’ll say—“0h—About $16, but there’s nothing like it, not in this country!” R. L. Hess & Bro.
