This is a spe- cial order of scenery, manufactured "props” as furniture and tapestries will be secured by arrangements with merchants in the various cities on the itinery. The troupe will travel either by motor bus or in a private Pullman car. probably the latter. No ex- pense or trouble has been spared by the management in securing perfect comfort for the actors and in getting good transportation facilities for the entire trip. Copies of the bool; of “The Butter and Man” have been sent ahead to each of the cities for advertising purposes. Advertising sheets and placards will be mailed out Friday to the sponsors of show in each city for advertising display. Newspa- per publicity will be sent to each stand also by the publicity depart- ment of the Troubadours. Approximately men will make the trip. This will include the cast, president and manager, property managers, business managers and costumers. The faculty advisor who will make the trip will be announced later this week.

These cliaiiges will not materially affect the contract for the approach- es, but if inorc concrete is used than the present plans call for the school will pay for it. The contract for the approaches has been let to the Luten Bridge Company, the same contracting firm that is building the bridge.

The Frosh tracksmen will open their season in a meet with Staun_ ton Military Academy, next Satur- day. Twenty-two or twenty-four men will be taken on the trip, the exact number having not yet been decided on. Time trials have been held by Coach Fletcher, and the results have been favorable. This being the first meet of the seasoii, nothing (lcfiiiitel_v can be ascertained as to the outcome. The team as a whole looks good in all respects and is e.\:pected to make a fine showing against the cadets.

An interest- iing pi'ogram was rendered by the new inenibers of the Society which included six ten—minute talks on scieiitific subjects. At the close of the meeting the audience was in- lvited to attend an informal smoker at the home of Dr. Hoyt. According to Dr. Hoyt, the Society will hold three more open meetings during the remainder of the year, each followed by a smoker at the home of one of the professors. All students in the University are cordially invited to attend these en- tertainments and are urged to take part in the discussion. The program of the meeting on Monday night \’\).:i as follows: “Darwinism”, by N. E. Hawes; “La Markianism”, by J. V. Eddy; “Immortality in Pawn”, by L. L. Davidge; “The Lemmings”, by M. H. Kaplan; “The Romance of the Stars” by R. P. Carter; and “ThcRomance of Chemistry” by Marcus Cohen. _. __o__..___ The Southern Society for Philo- sophy and Psychology will hold its annual convention and meeting in the Jackson Memorial Hall of V.

The track team will meet Duke University in their first meet of the season at Durham Saturday. Twenty- one men besides Coach Fletcher and Manager Harrison, will make the trip. The men will leave Friday morning, traveling by bus the entire distance. This week ends the fourth week of practice and finds the men in fine condition. Results of the time trials held last week were fairly good, ac- cording to Coach Fletcher, and with no men on the injured list Saturday, the locals should have a good chance of emerging victors in the meet with the Blue Devils. Light practices will be held the remainder of the week to get the men in good condition for their initi-- al start. The following men will make the trip: 100 yd. and 20 yd. dash—Sandifer, Grashorn and Barclay; 440 yd. dash—— Simmons, Backus; 880 yd. dash- Backus; Mile-—Brock, Parker; 2 mile—-Nance, Butler; High hurdles —Rcardon, Sproul, Janney; Low hurdles~Patterson, Sproul and Jones; High jump—-Sproul, Sandifer and Pilley; Broad jum1~—McFarland, Sandifer and Reardon; Pole vault— Pomeroy, Cockc and Pilley; Shot put --Fisher, Janney and White; Discus throwflPainter and Fisher; Javelin iii.‘ a 1;. GidlfClubi Fast Rounding Into Shape Under Lanier The Washington and Lee golf team, resurrected and inaugurated last year, is fast rounding into shape under the captaincy of George H. Lanier. The team has been practicing ev- ery afternoon the weather has per- mitted for the past two Weeks, and some excellent scores have been turn- ed in for so early in the season. Each try-out has handed in three 18-hole cards thus far, according to Capt. Lanier. It is planned to hold a 36 hole qualifying round at the end of the present week, 18 of these holes to be played over the Lexing- ton course, and 18 on either the Natural Bridge or the Roanoke links. The team leaves for North Caro- lina, Tuesday, April 3, where David- son College, University of North Carolina, and Duke University are to be met in the order named. A match with University of Peiinsylv— ania and a home-and—home series with University of Virginia are also pending. Although no definite selection of team has been made, any new can- didate would have to show up excep- tionally well said Capt. Lanier, to top the work of the following meiii who have been out regularly: VV. F. Chandler, J. L. Comcgys, T. G. Cooke, M. Davis, J. B. Ecker, II. L. Echols, H. VV. Mab1'y, VV. A. Ward, throw‘Reardon, Janney and Pilley.i[ and R. C. Wickersham. COLONEL HUNLEY B. J. Wagner Appears In Final Colonel W. M. Hunley, head of the Political Science and Economics de- partment at V. M. I., has been chos_ en as presiding ofl’icer for the Ala- bama debate, to be held in Le: Chapel Thursday, March 29, it vvzi-‘ announced today by Professor M. C. Colonel Hun- ley is nationally known in the field of Political Science, and Professor Bauer stated that he felt fortunate in securing his services. The question to be debated, Re- solved. “that Alfred E. Smith be elected President of the United States,” is a pertinei‘it one in the present day political world. Wash- ington and Lee will uphold the nega- tive, and will be represented b_v B. J. \Vagner and I. T. Sanders. This will be \Nag'ner’s last appearance in a local debate. He has been a mem- ber of the team for three years, and during that time has featured in inany debates. This year he is man- ager of the team, and a member of the Debating Council. The Alabama meet will be Sander’s first appear- ance on the W. & 1.. team, but he has shown up well in the tryouts and is expected to make an excellent argument. The debaters have taken an unusual interest in the subject, Professor Bauer said, and have spent a great deal of time in preparing their material. Alabama will be represented by Clanton VV. W'illiams and Hubert Hayes. They will arrive in Lexiiig- ton late Thursday afternoon from Williamsburg, Va., where they are debating Wililain and Mary this evening. The Alabama team has T0 PRESIDE OVER AL./l.—W. (“T L. DEBATE THURSDAY Debate of College Career With Sanders Making His Debut the question in several meets.

A dinner will be given before the de- late, and arrangeinents will be made for further entertaiiiment later in the evening. The Alabamans will leave Lexington Friday for North Carolina, where they will debate the saiiie question. The debate will be an lllfOl'll1al‘.".‘_'\.' one for the audience, as the qualif'i.'a tions of Alfred E. Smith will be presented to the auditors in such .11 manner as to cover all the details of his eligibility. The debate will have a direct bearing on the mock Demo- cratic convention to be held here next month, since the Vote of the audi- ence will express the general local tendency of opinion concerning Gov- ernor Smith as a presidential can- didatc. A vote will be taken before and after the meet on both the question and the merits of the debate. A spe_ cial ballot has been printed for this purpose, and will be distributed under the direction of Professor Bauer who will have charge of the voting. Prof- essor Bauer is cooperating with sev- eral schools in making a study of audience votes, and the result of this debate will be turned in as material to the study. The following men will serve as ushers: Albert Steves, II. M. Platt, been debating the negative side of ill. II. Butler and F. M. Faulkner. “Put another piece of wood in the stove, Mr. Smith, before you write those French sentences on the board.” “How can they expect a follow to study with all that woodchopping going on.” These are two common Washing- ton and Lee expresions the profs and students used back in the good old days when every classroom con- tained a smoky wood stove, when the university woodyard was where Lees dormitoryv is now, and, so it is rumored, when the university made its dormitory students cut wood for the heating of their own rooms. Keeping warm in this university meant choping wood during the years previous to 1905. Now the university pays $10,000 and uses 1600 tons of coal annually to save students that trouble. From Washington came the news WI & I... GETS FIRST NATIONAL SENATE; REPLACES STOVES By C. II. Wilson BOILER FROM in the fall of 1904 that the U. S. Senate was installing a new heat- ing system. They were selling off their old steam boilers in order to make room for new ones. Wash- ington and Lee bid for one. The university got the first boiler that was ever installed in the Senate office building, and, with it as a nucleus, built a central heating plant here. Evans Alini1'all Co., of New York, contracted to put in the hot-water system on the campus for $16,000. That was cheap as prices go today. The company did not lose, however, as they had to pay only seventy-five cents for labor in those days. So, in the spring of 1905, the cen- GENER Ls MAKE NUMBER 44 DIAMOND DEBUT FRIDAY AGAINST C. U. CARDINALS Team Appears In Top Notch Form; Captain Folliard To Be On Mound By Henry “Play ball!” The long waited for cry will be heard on Wilson field for the first time this spring Friday afternoon when the Washington and Lee Gen- erals meet Catholic University from Washington. The Generals have" been going through streneous workouts for over three weeks. In spite of the cold weather that greatly hampered the team last week the boys appear to be in top notch form, and ready to go at full speed. Coach Smith is pleased with the progress shown by his team and believes it to be a bet- ter combination than last year's de- spite the loss of several veterans. Although the game is just below the horizon Captain “Dick” has come to no definite decision regarding his line up. There appears no worry in the inner works as to who will get the call, but in the outfield there is still a merry battle being waged. It is likely that the Generals’ mentor will not make his final selection until just prior to game tiine.. “Babe” Spotts will hold down the initial sack, with Gene White and “Sliorty” Franklin taking over the key-stoiie and Eigelbach will be in charge of the hot corner. Jones and Tips will do the receiving. Captain Paul Folliard and Osterman will share the honors from the hill, with probably Radford and Atwood get- ting a peep into the game. The task comes in selecting an out- field. There is on hand Johnston, Hickman, Lowdon and Warthen of last year’s varsity and reserves from which to select as well as Slanker and Tuggle of the ex-frosh machine. Then Tips is capable of taking his turn in the outer works. Johnston Low don, and Warthen are monogram fly ohasers, while Hickman was a reserve last year. It would be a matter of mere guess STUDENTS GUESTS AT CHURCH DINNER Eighty Washington and Lee stu- dents were guests of the Lexington Presb_vterian church at an informal .linner in the Sunday school building from 5:30 to 8:00 o’clock, Monday night. The dinner, which was served by the young ladies of the church, was followed by a short talk by Rev. Robert Miles, of Lynchburg. Rev. Miles is an alumnus of Wash__ ington and Lee and is considered one of the South’s most popular speakers. Rev. W. W. Morton who acted as toastmaster for the oc- casion, was graduated in the same class as Rev. Miles. __:0___j TENNIS TRYOUTS TO BE NEXT WEEK Candidates for tennis will be called the latter part of this week, and try- outs will begin the first of next week. The courts are being put into shape and will be ready for use in a day or two. Prospects are good with several letter men back. Among them are Capt. Ed. Miller, Dobbs, Homer, and Turk. The schedule of the matches is as follows: April 6th with Johns Hopkins here, April 7 with Catholic University here, April 10 with Dele- ware University here, April 28 with Haverford here, May 1 with Catholic University there, May 2 with George- town University there, May 3 with Penn. State there, May 4 with N. Y. U. there, May 5 with Lehigh Uni- vorsity there, May 8 with University of Virginia there, and May 12 with V. P. I. there.

Affirmative—J. P. Lynch, A. C. Junkin; Negative—C. II. Lewis, R. Rowland. P. Johnston work to attempt to select the start- ing three in the outfield. Hickman appears to be fairly sure of taking care of the rightfield post provided a right hander is on the mound for Catholic U. Warthen and Slanker are arguing it out for center with Lowdon, Johnston and Tuggle scrap- ping for left. All five of these have been used in both center and left so it would not be a surprise to see any one start in either of the fields. Captain Folliard is due to have his greatest year on the mound for the Generals. He has added about ten pounds in weight and has further profected his curves and change of pace. This week he has had his curves breaking in every direction and completely baffling batsmen. Osterman is scheduled to take part in the game despite his recent injury. After serving for two years in the relief role “Osty” has great chances of breaking into the regular flinging line with a bang. Last year in the only full game he tossed he displayed great form with promise of being a great aid to the 1928 corps. Radford and Atwood, trying their first hand in varsity baseball, appear to hold the upper hand over the oth- er recruits. Both are right hand- ers and are likely to see some ser- vice before the team heads South to meet the three North Carolina teams. The Catholic University tossers are due to arrive in Lexington Thurs- day afternoon and take part in a drill on Wilson field. Little is known of the strength of the Cardinals other than their records of past years which has been very impressive. Weather has played an all import- ant part in the Washington team’s training season, frequently forcing the Cardinals to put aside their out- of-door drill and take up inside work. GRID ASPIRANTS IN GOOD SHAPE The 1928 football squad is now in the midst of spring training. Daily drills on Wilson field have put them— in mid-season condition. Coach Her- ron is devoting most of his time in perfectiiig the linemen, while assist- ant coach4Palmer is tutoring the backfield men. The program for the two remain- ing weeks of training will be of the same nature as of the last few weeks, chiefly that of learning the fundamentals of the game. The weekly games to be played at the end of each week as usual will find the Whites and the Blues oppos- ing each other. _______o ,, KAPPA PHI KAPPA INITIATES The initiation of Kappa Phi Kap- pa, national professional educational society, was held last night in the home of Professor W. B. Selvage, and was followed by a formal banquet in the Robert E. Lee hotel. The five neophytes are: B. K. Bull- ard, D. C. Eberhart, E. S. Graves, W. D. Kuykendall and L. R. Robin- son. Dr. W. M. Brown, as toastmaster of the affair, led a series of inter- esting addresses, among which were those of Professor E. K. Paxton and Major R. M. Irby, superintendent of schools of Rockbridge county.

CRITICISM DMINISTRATION, faculty, student governing bodies, publica- tion and dance executives. and every leader of any organiza- tion or Inovement on the cam;-ius are objects of almost continual criticism from members of the Student Body. Why? Constructive criticism, ‘thoLr.ghtfully guided and considered, is a sign of healtliy progress u; on the part of students toward a realization of the problems which confront a college or univer- sity. Destructive criticism, ha /tily expressed and more hastily retracted when the fallacy of is arguments are proven, is one of {Lie worst forms of intellectual stagnation and unwillingness to study and battle the concrete obstacles which frequent the path of a univcrsity’s growth and progress toward a higher plane. Those in charge of affairs here, including university executi- vcs, faculty members, and student leaders, are subject to a great amount of the latter type of criticism, but to a pityfully small amount of genuine const1'uc't};e criticism—the kind which they are anxious to hear and more anxious to heed in most instances. In;-ttcazl of merely knocking decisions, movements, and at- tempts to “carry on” toward the realization of a greater Wash- ingrton anal Lee, whether in rniivei-.~;ity or student affairs, '\Vh_«' I not more students endeaxor to present constructive sugges- .i<,;r; and critici.<;m.~; of existing‘ conditions or pending changes? Every man in an official po;:iti0n on the campus, whether elec- tivc or appointive, and whether of a university or of a student D.%tl,Ill'(i, is more or less of a svpeciztlist in his particular line, but at the same time we believe all of them realize that they are in their positions. of responsibility in order and from a desire to be of service to Washington and Lee. Recognizing this fact, every,’ one or them is willing to have constructive criticism and Well- considcrcd suggestions communicated to him for consideration, and, if merited, for action either in toto or in such part as seems wise under existing conditions. Let the criticism from students be of a more constructive and of 2*. less destructive nature. Let it be communicated to those :.gs.i11:st ‘wnoin it directed, and not disseminated among fel- L 1' L low students in the nature of grumblings and dissatisfied ex- _ p)'e:§:3lUiI:-‘ of opinion as in what should be done and how it should. ;§ be accomplished. If these suggestions are followed, we feel cer--it tain that results will be forthcoming, or, if immediate action is irapossilile or impractical at the time, explanations of the pro- hibiting reasons will be given gladly by those affected. 0 v SMITH FOR PRESIDENT?

Regardless of the individual prefer- ences of Washington and Lee students, they will have an unusual opportunity to hear this question argued pro and conl tomorrow night in Lee Chapel, when Alabama and Washing—; ton and Lee meet in debate. Alabama will argue the affirma- tive, while the Generals will answer “No.” ; This debate, above all others this year, is exucctctl to drauv al capacity crowd of students and townspeople, especially in view of the mock Democratic national convention which will be held here April 23 and 24. Students who favor the nomination of Smith both here and at Houston in June will have the oppo1‘tv_1- ity to hear his qualities presented, boosted, and assailed in a studied fashion, while those opposed upon any grounds \.vh:.itso- _ ever will have 2. similar chance to gain added arguments for‘ presentation at the convention. i Alabama, where pro— and anti—Smith forces have clashed inf verbal combat with more spectacular vehemence than elsewhere in the country, will send two men here who are rated as mas- ters in debating and artists in the realm of presentation of their views. Strange to say, the far—Southern speakers will unofficial- ly take up the burden of combating their Senator Heflin’s inter- mittent diatribes against the New Yorl: governor, but at the same time will be expressing the opinion of a great many of their fellow citizens, some of whom endeavored to promote a debate in several Alabama cities between Heflin and pro-Smith <:am— 5 paigners. Washington and Lee’s representatives will argue pi-0- » Heflin, although probably without the personality which char- 3 acterized the Senator’s outbursts on the floor of the Senate and elsewhere. The local debaters are satisfied that there exist reasons why Smith should not be nominated aside from the common cries of Romanism and nullificationism. The latter two arguments are those most commonly heard where tirades against the four-term New York executive are delivered, but at the same time there are doubtless other reasons why some of the more unbiased Demo- cratic leaders do not wish to see him named leader of their ticket this year. This debate should bring out every possible argument for and against Smith’s nomination, and every student here, \ And Cut to Grder ESTABLISHED EINGLEESH UNIVEFQSETY STYLES, TAILORED !."3»‘e!/FIR YQUTHFUL CHARTS SOLELY 270.51‘ l'JlS"l"lNC—1lJESHED SERVICE IN THE UNITED STATES. lllllfililllH[Illlflllll1IlllillllllH3?‘25$lIillElfllllfilllilfliillliilllllllllllllllllllllllllIHl||IM‘ldlNTllSlhhllNIlflllml ROCl{ll+§l‘?.iDGE MOTOR COMPANY Dod ‘:.'ie:;:ory S':x Standard Six, and _ Chrysler .

GETS BOILERS FROM SENATE HOUSE (Continued from Page 1.) of Dr. Easter, Dr. Shannon, and the president, after which it curled through I.ee’s dormitory on to Reid Hall and back to the heating plant. Through this pipe, powerful pumps forced hot water. The increased heating demands oc- casioned by the building of the lib— rary in 1003 called for a larger plant. It was not until 1912, however, that a new boiler and a larger smoke- stack were put in. The homes of Dr. Howe, Dr. Campbell, Dean More_ land, and the Dining Hall were con- nected to the central system at this time. VVhen Doremus gym was completed in 1914, a special steam line was installed to carry heat from the cen- tral plant to it. This proved so unsatisfactory that a separate plant had to be built for the gym. The steam line which formerly went to the gym was turned into Graham dormitory in 1919. Last year the university piped hot water heat into Lee Chapel and in- to ten professor’s homes on the low- er part of the campus. Another boiler was bought to replace the old ori- ginal boiler that had “U. S. Senate” written in large letters over the top. At present, three buildings are heated by steam; Newcomb Hall, the Dining Hall, and Graham dormitory. All the other campus buildings have hot water heat. The advantages of the hot water over the steam system, according to Professor Dickey, that the firemen can regulate the heating temperature and not so much heat is lost where the pipes extend through the ground. Eventually ev- ery building on the campus will have hot water heat, Dr. Dickey added. At the cost of $6,500, an electric tramway was built in 1923 for car-, I y r rying coal from the trainroad sidingi across V\7oods Creek valley to the heating plant. This tramway brings coal over for five cents a ton, where formerly it cost 75 cents to cart it up from the station. The present central heating system is valued at $75,000. It feeds 40,000 square feet of radiator space, requir- es three firemen who work on eight hour shifts, contains two 150 h. p. steam boilers, and is operated from October 1 until June 1. _m:()___ Add Warren, former North Caro- lina University boxer, has recently turned professional.

I was not smoking at tlse intrigued me exceedingly, For [\x,‘(\,l','{_> years I had smoked Edgeworth with- out being tempted by any other brand, but the fragrance emanating from the pipe of the gentleman beside me wa: so agreeable that I could not resist Lhe temptation to speak of it. “That is wonderfully fragrant tr,- bacco you have there,” I remarked. “Would you mind telling me the nanie of it?” “It is Edgeworth,” he answered. We then congratulated each other upon our mutual good taste, and I decided that I would continue to use his brand and mine. Sincerely yours, S. H. E d gewortlii Extra High Grade Smoking Tobacco W. J.
