CLOSE SEASON IN
BRISTOL TONIGHT

Final Performance of “The But-
ter and Egg Man” Ends
1928 Program

EXECUTIVES REPORT
SHOWS GOING OFF BIG

Large Audiences Have Attended All
Performances; Troupe To Re-
turn Sunday

By W. M. Garrison

Playing the final performance of
“The Butter and Egg Man” in the
Virginia High School auditorium in
Bristol tonight, the Troubadours of
Washington and Lee will close their
1928 dramatic season with a bang.

The first public performance of
this play, the choice for the annual
Easter play, the choice for the annual
on Tuesday afternoon of this week
at the New Theatre in Lexington.
Here it scored a big hit with an
enthusiastic audience and was giv-
en a good send-off for the Easter-
week tour through Virginia and Ten-
nessee.

The first stop on the trip was East
Radford, Virginia, where “The But-
ter and Egg Man” was presented on
Wednesday night in the State Teach-
er's College auditorium. The play
was sponsored by the Bee Hive, State
Teacher’s College year—book. Press
reports from this city state that the
play was well received by a good
size audience.

Wires from the executives of the
Troubadours stated Thursday night
that the play“ went over big” in
Marion, Virginia, there that night. It
was presented in the Court Square
theatre before a large audience.
Sponsored by the senior class of
Marion College, it had the full sup-
port ofthe student body there. The
Southern Collegians played at the
opening of a new hotel in Marion
and also for a dance at the hotel
after the show. The troupe remained
here for two nights.

Last night the show was presented
in the Stonewall Jackson College
auditorium in Abingdon, Virginia. It
was sponsored by the freshman class
of Stonewall Jackson and attended
by the entire student body. Press
reports and wires state that it was
well received.

A good advance ticket sale gives
an encouraging outlook for the-per-
formance tonight in Bristol. It will
be sponsored here by the Fort Chis-
well Chapter of the D.A.R.

The troupe will return to Lexing-
ton tomorrow night by special bus.

“The Butter and Egg Man” is a
comedy in three acts, presented
through special arrangement with
Samuel French, of New York.

The play was produced under the
direction of “Tommy” Thames, pre-
sident of the Troubadours. Much
credit for the success of the play
is due to President Thames, and to
Manager “Toot” Gibson who handl-
ed the business end of production.

Special scenery lent aprofessional
air to the play, and special costum-
es and wigs were also used. Twen-
ty—eight men made the trip, this
including the cast, president and
manager, property managers, busi-
ness managers and costumers.

Prof. H. Gray Funkhouser made
the trip with the troupe as official
faculty advisor.

The Troubadours were entertined
in the various cities by their sponsor-
ing organizations, dances and ban-
quets being given in their honor.

The Southern Collegians, one of
the snappiest and best college dance
orchestras in the South, accompanied
the show, playing before, during and
after performances, and also for
dances.

MOST STUDENT VOTES
IN STRAW ELECTIONS

While collegiate straw votes go
merrily on their way, it is becom-
ing evident that most of the student
votes will be restricted, of necessity,
to straw elections. The research
division of Colgate University’s de-
partment of history and politics has
discovered that election laws in 42
states practically disbranchise 150,-
000college students because they can
not register unless they return to
their homes. If he is registered the
student may, under the regulation of
41 states, vote by mail. But usually
he is unable or unwilling to leave
classes in order to register. Only
six states permit registration as

well as voting by mail.

From An Extensive!

Jannt To Carolina 3

The golf team has returned from
an extensive trip through North Caro
lina, and Duke on successive days.
Washington and Lee dropped two
of the three matches, both, however
by close scores, and completely out-
classed Duke in the third. Duke
fell by a 12 to 5 score, and matches
were lost to North Carolina 8 to 4,
and to Davidson, 15 to 13.

On Wednesday the Generals met
the Davidson College golfers at the
Charlotte Country Club of Charlotte
N. C. The locals forced the Wild-
cats to the limit, before losing in the
final rounds.

Duke was the next opponent at
Durham on the Hillandale course.
By the good shooting of Chandler
and Eicholtz, the Generals annexed
this match to the tune of 12 to 5.
At Chapel Hill, Mason and Adams
of the Tarheels were in fine form,
and mainly by their brilliant shots,
the team from North Carolina Uni-
versity downed the locals 10 to G.
The match was played on the Hope
Valley course, one of the best in the
state.

Strong opposition was encountered
and the showing the team made on
the trip promises well for the re-
maining matches. Duke and Wil-
liam and Mary will be met here and
a home series has been arranged
with the University of Virginia. The
team averaged 86 for the 108 holes
played on the trip. The members of
the team played two matches over
the same course, one in the morning
and one in the afternoon. No after-
noon matches were lost after the
men had become accustomed to the
course in the morning round.

Those making the trip were: Cap-
tain George Lanier, Chandler, Cook,
Eicholtz and Mabry.

KING AND HIS “GANG”

Yellow curb lines and parking

lave learned more or less painfully

Their new sponsor, Chief of P0-
lice H. B. King has also been ap-
jiroved by the town council, it was
announced yesterday. Formerly he
had been appointed only to April
the first, but when All Fool’s Day
had finally passed, the council mem-
bers solemly shook hands and decid-

ed the joke was on the common
people.

Our now permanent symbol of
Law and Order draws down $175 a
month, park where you will. No of-
ficial explanation has been given for
retaining him as head of the force.

It has been pointed out that $698.-
77 was collected by the department

month of March, $596.77 of this a-
mount being designated as “costs.”

PRINTER CENSORS,

‘BANS DARTMOUTH

LITERARY ISSUE

Dartmouth’s bimonthly literary
magazine, the Tower, has been bann-
ed  immoral due the action of the
printer, Lew A. Cummings, of Man-
chester, N. H. Cummings refused to
print the regular issue on the
grounds that some of the verses and
stories “weren’t fit to print.”

The editor of the magazine and one
of the editorial board have resigned,
declaring themselves “disgusted with
the publication of frankly salacious
material, disguised as humor, is per-
mitted.”

The college authorities are taking
no part in the dispute altho a num-
ber of faculty members. according to
the editor, have approved and even
praised the three stories banned by
the printer.

According to reports this is the
third or fourth time that the printer
has attempted to censor material in
“The Tower". Cummings (leclared
that he was acting with the advice
of a lawyer, whom he refused to
name.

PHI BETA KAPPA KEY
IS PREFERED TO “Y”
BY SENIOR AT YALE

Seniors in Yale College, according
to preferenes indicated in the an-
nual class vote, prefer a Phi Beta
Kappa key to the “Y” earned in
major sports, like Harvard next
best to Yale, consider Lindbergh and
Mussolini the outstanding world fig-
ures of the day, and Lindbergh the
man now living they most admire.
They also believe that prohibition
has harmed college life, that English
is the most valuable subject and psy-
chology the least valuable, and they
are opposed to splitting the college
into smaller units.

SPRING —(PRACTICE
F o R WRESTLERS
TO START MONDAY

Announcement has been made by
Coach Mathis that spring wrestling
training will begin Monday to con-
tinue for the next four weeks. This
is the first time that any spring
training has been held in this sport
and Coach Mathis is anxious that as
many men as possible turn out for it

All of last seasons varsity men,
last season’s reserves, freshmen
wrestlers, and scrubs are expected
to report Monday, and Coach Mathis
also calls for any men who have
nad no experience whatever to re-
port at the same time in order that
they may be taught the rudiments of
the sport before varsity practice be-
gins again next fall.

Added interest has been taken in
wrestling since it is now possible for
a man to earn a major monogram in
this sport. The outlook for an ex-
ceptionally strong team next year is
bright.

This spring, practice will consist
only of the fundamentals of wrestl-
ing and exercises designed to condi-
tion the men for more strenuous
work next fall. Inexperienced men
will be given special training in the
fundamentals while the more experi-
enced men will receive more advanced
instruction, but only elementary
work will be done.

All those who desire to take ad-
vantage of this opportunity are urg-
ed to report to Coach Mathis Mon-
day at 5 p. in. Regular practice
will continue each evening at that
time for four weeks.

TEAMS SHOW SPEED
DESPITE HEAVY FIELD

Fast Work By Several Infield Saves
Tarheel Score In Hectic
Seventh Inning

Allowing the North Carolina Tar
Heels only five hits,and striking
out five men, Captain Paul Folliard
pitched his second no-run game of
the season when the Generals an-
nexed a fast and thrilling ball game
from the Carolinians Thursday. Good
work on the part of the W. & L. in-
field saved a score in the seventh
inning, and left the Generals on the
long end of a 1-0 score.

Although the field was heavy after
the Easter rains the game was fast,
the nine innings taking just an hour
and fourteen minutes. Not a single
base was stolen due to the wet field.

The Generals’ lone marker came
in the fifth, when Tuggle slipped a
hot one into left and made first in
the confusion. Taking second on Fol-
liard’s sacrifice, he was held there by
a quick throw to third when Lowdon
lifted a high one to left. Hank
Slanker then saved the day when,
with two out, he cracked a neat
single scoring Tuggle from second.

In the seventh the Tar Heels ralli-
ed and nearly scored when Coxe,
their first batter, made a three bag-
ger with none out. Fulcher, next
North Carolina batter, went out when
Folliard handled his hit and caught
him at first. The next man furnish-
ed a games-worth of thrills when he
smacked a grounder to VVhiL<;- at sec-
ond, who then threw to Spotts at
first, and Spotts in turn caught Coxe
olf third with a quick snap to Eigle-
bach.

The Tar Heels left Lexington
Thursday evening for College Park,
Maryland, where they met Maryland
Friday. The game Thursday was
the first Tri-State league game that
the Generals have played on Wilson
field, and was the first league game
the Carolinians have been able to
play on their northern trip.

It is expected that every university shall have its liil'.1riou:=

i’resident’s Paragraph The Gray Phantom

Springtime——t,hat season of
the year when mother Nature
dons her robes of green—when
the girls glistens on the burnish-
ed dove—when love occupies the
foreground of the young man’s
thoughts-—at least according to
Tennyson.

The bursting buds and irides-
cent moonlights render a campus
alive with romance. The rising
sap has even penetrated the
blood of a student at this austere
institution of learning.

Generally a very practical soul
with very material thoughts it
is a witnessed fact that one
morning during the Easter holi-
days he quoted several lines of
poetry just before awakening.
Whether it’s the season of the
year, or perhaps the urge of a
great love that has entered his
life, no one seems to know, but
suITicc it to say he awoke two
other students with the words——

DR. BROWN SPEAKER

LAST WEEK AT V. M. I.
MEETING OF S. S. P.

Dr. W. M. Brown, head of the Ed-
ucation and Psychology department,
spoke last week before the Southern
Society of Psychology on the subject
of personnel accounting in colleges.
The meeting was held at V. M. 1.,
and was attended by many promin-
ent educators. ‘

He explained the need for person-
nel accounting and offered devices
for the checking of the number of
students who do not complete col-
lege courses, whether from failure,
or for other reasons. He stated that
personnel accounting, though still
in the experimental stage, was the
only method that could be effectively
used for vocational guidance of the
student. He further stated that vo-
cational guidance in the leading in-
stitutions of learning was vigorous-
ly attacking this problem.

Dr. Brown outlined the aids that
are at present most effective in per-
sonnel accounting as: method of
selection and admission of students,
personal record cards, inelligence and
aptitude tests, vocational guidance
progress, psychological clinics, sim-
plification of record systems and
special administrative procedures.

been mailed to alumni.

In addition to a number of inter-
esting articles concerning alumni in
various sections of the country, this
number carries a sort of resume of
spring athletic activities, and gives
the baseball schedule.

On the first page of the April
number is reproducted a copy of
George Washington’s letter announ-
cing his gift to old Liberty Hall
Academy——the gift that made Wash-
ington and Lee possible.

The cover page carries a picture
of the old gray walls of Liberty Hall
and a view of the new bridge to the
athletic field, bringing out the con-
trast between the old and the new.

A column is devoted to general
news of Lexington and the changes
which have taken place in the town
within the past few years.

ing sold by high school girls—the
boys are also selling.

The scene of the play is laid in a
college town—a co-educational one of
course. Three girls open up a tea
room. Trouble starts when the cap-
tain of the football team so far
forgets himself in the girls’ hash
shop as to break training and eat a
waffle when he should have been eat-
ing soup. slightly vamp watches
the walfle’s exit and does the dirty

Lewis aided the agent of Lord

ODE TO THE SPIRIT OF VIRGINIA

By

Thomas Lomax Hunter

Virginia, turning proudly
With soul elate
And eager eyes steadfast,

from her past,

Looks forward to her fate.
There is a challenge in that honored past
To every ardent and aspiring son,

That gives him summons,

like a bugle blast,

To high adventures soon to be begun,

New battles to be won,

Nature has lavished on her bounteous fields,
Deep, commerce—sheltering bays and teeming shoi‘e::,
And the tall, mothering mountain range tha’ yields

The largess of its ores.

Broad rivers winding seaward from her hills

By busy cities glide,

And in their sweep provide

Potential power for a thousand mills.
Good fortune stocked her with a rugged race

That toward all dangers that beset her land
Turned ever an undaunted face,

A daring hand.

Since the first white man landed on her beach,
The sacred doctrine of the Rights of Man

Was hers to teach,
Was hers to plan

Her breast is scarred in every war for Right.

Her fields are red
With blood she shed

Against Oppression’s Might.

The old heroic faces,

Whose spirits brood above the hallowed places——
Mount Vernon, Stratford, Monticello’s Hill-—

Call to us still,
Lest we forget

The spirit of Virginia, which is yet
Full of that high, enthusiastic hope

That can with Fortune and

Occasion cope.

0, Spirit of Virginia, with your knightly blade,
On all true shoulders lay you accolade,

And bid each son arise,
New purpose in his heart,
New fire in his eyes,

Resolved to see Virginia play her part
In that high place the gods for her did plan,»-

The Van !

LARGE SHARE FOR
UNIV. EDUCATION

The public of this country pays
too large a share of the cost of hig-
her education, and the recipient pays
too little,” General Edward Orton
told the winter graduating class of
Ohio State University.

“There is some danger,” he said,
“of over-saturation of our popula-
tion with people of the ‘white col-
lar’ class. There has been some evi-
dence of evercrowding in several
lines already—notably law and med-
icine.

“The claim will probably be set
the difiiculty of getting a start
anywhere in these professions with-
up in both these cases that it is a
matter of faulty distribution, not an
actual surplusage. It will be shown
that in many country districts the
old practitioner is gone and no new
man comes in to take his place, and
that more service is needed and less
is available. But the fact remains
that the cities and towns are full of
struggling lawyers and doctors, and
out influence or money is admitttedly
Very severe.”

To remedy this over-production of
graduates, and to increase the qual-

blames the quantity on the ease with
which low-cost education may be had
in state universities. Reduction in
the number of students would not
only eliminate overcrowding in a few
fields, but would also raise the qual-

mitting the abolition of formal class
methods and relieving the faculty

Henry P. Johnston, banquet chair-
man, stated that the “Made-in-Vir-
ginia” banquet will feature an old
Southern menu. Virginia products
will be served and given as souvenirs
V Most of the food. chickens, rolls, ice
cream and vegetables have been don-
ated by the following:

American Peanut Co., Norfolk;
Fibre Board Container Co., Rich-
mond; Harrisonburg Baking Corp.,
I-Iarrisonburg; J. S. Haldeman &
b‘ros., llarrisonburg; M. S. McCoy,
Lexington; Martha W'ashington
Candy Co., Roanoke; McCrum Drug

Co.. Lexington; P. D. Gwaltney, Jr.,
'Co., Smithfield; Planters Peanut CO.,
Suffolk; and Singer Baking CO.,
Staunton.

The banquet will be held Saturday
evening, May 12. The primary ob-
ject of the convention, aside from its
journalistic character, is the adver-
tisement of Virginia as an actively
productive state. The above com-
panies have lost their assistance free-
ly, and have to a large extent made
the banquet plans possible.

To re-inforce the “Made-in-Vir-
ginia” idea it is probable that each
guest will be presented a cardboard
container with some half a peek of
Virginia souvenirs. The containers
have been secured but arrangements
not completed for the sample pro-
ducts.

Features of the banquet will be a
symposium, with a lawyer, a clergy-
man, and a educator analyzing the
attitude of professional men toward
the newspaper as a social institution,
a costumed tableau with Misses Lucia
and Julia Desha bestowing the
“Sweets of the Old South” on the
younger generation as represented by
the delegates, and the publication on
the banquet floor of a miniature
newspaper “covering” the convention.
The journalistic efl"ort is being un-
dertaken by the P. D. E. initiates
and is to be as a surprise, since no
one is to know until the last minute
how the paper is to be printed on the
banquet floor.

The convention is under the direc-
tion of Mr. R. B. Ellard, head of the
Journalism department, who is be-
ing assisted by Henry P. Johnston
as banquet chairman and I. W. Hill
as publicity director.

Coat Fashion Mode

The designs of raincoats is very
similar to that of the heavy whip-
cord garment furnished officers in
the army for wear in the trenches
and for fatigue duty in bad weather.
This garment was known as the
trench coat and was copied to a cer-
itain extent after the war but was
tsoon lost sight of by manufacturers,
walthough many ex-service men, pleas-
,<d with the military snap and prac-
ticality of the trench coat, had kept
issued garments and used them from
time to time as need across fromthe
exigencies of civilian life.

During the past winter some New
York shops offered coats of similar
design and many young men found
them practical and smart for rainy
day wear.

Finds Tobacco
for "Breaking
In” a Pipe

Columbus, Ohio
March 10, 1927

Larus & Bro. Co.
Richmond, Va.
Gentlemen:

Two years ago mv wif ‘rave me an
expensive pipe. I smoke it a great
deal for two or three weeks, put it aside,
then began smoking it again. This
Lime it was very strong. Veterans toio
me that it had been smoked too harc.
for a new pipe and should be put away.

The pipe was laid away again. A
short time ago I got it out and smokec
one of the common brands of tc-baece
in it. The results were di::a.ppcint'lng.
I told the druggist of my ex'per‘.(-he’:
with it. He asked if I had tried Edge-

" . I told him I never had. i fol-

Li. Aggrzstion, and I arr. hcresr

‘.1 I say that it has restorec the
‘.-'7\'ee'.7r1eSS; to the pipe, and has ‘made
rd wonder. Was it the pipe or the
!'\l"c."l(l of tobacco that caused me to
lay it away for the long period of time‘!

As a novice, I prefer Edgeworth. I
am going to stick to it, as I feel sati:-
tied that there is none better on the
marke.

sf-incerely yours,
Philip C. Shera
