NUMBER 59 ‘r1..;.;’i..,-.....3.ii In Auto Wreck Near Staunton Malone, Kirby And Weagly End Trip Home Saturday At Staunton Hospital. CAR LEAVES ROAD AND TURNS OVER Kirby Not Able To Return To School This Year But Is Doing Well. One student lies in a hospital at Staunton seriously injured, and two others were cut and bruised as a result of an automobile wreck near Staunton Saturday. D. G. Kirby, freshman from Chambersburg, Pa., was taken to - a Staunton hospital with a slight- ly fractured skull, a broken shoul- der, and bad cuts about the face. A He is reported to be doing well, but probably will not return to ' the University this year this year. Gordon Weagly of Waynesboro, Pa., and Ross G. Malone of Rose- well, N. M., were the other stu- dents. Both are back in classes. The trio were bound for Kir- by’s home in Pennsylvania for a dance at Wilson college when the accident happened. Kirby was driving the car, an old model Ford roadster borrowed for the occa- sion. Less than a mile from Staunton they came upon a truck parked by the side of the road, and slowed up to allow a car to pass from the other direction. Then Kirby swung out to pass the truck. The right front wheel of the Ford collapsed, the axle caught the roadbed, and the car pitched over forwards, throwing Malone and Weagly clear. Weagly told of the denouement as follows: “I woke up first, and went over to Malone. He was getting up, and wasn't much hurt, although his suit was in shreds. Kirby lay with his head on the road and his feet in the car, uncon- scious. I hailed three motorists before one would stop, but one man finally took Kirby to Staun- ton. Dean Campbell came along just afterwards and carried the two of us into town. We certain- ly owe him a debt of gratitude for this kindness to us and to Kirby the rest of the day. The car was a total wreck, and probably will not be salvaged. Weagly reports that they were not driving excessively fast, the wheel giving way under the sud- den strain as they swung to pass the truck. Mr. and Mrs. Kirby drove down from Pennsylvania to Staunton Sunday and saw their son. 'He will probably be out of the hos- pital by June 1, and will make up his examinations during the summer. Negroes Named For West Point And Annapolis Washington, May 11.—Repre- sentative De Priest of Illinois, sole negro member of congress, has carried out his pledge to his constituents and appointed two negro candidates for admin- sion to the United States Naval Academy and one for admission appointed cadet at West Point and to the United States Military Academy. Alonzo S. Parham has been Laurence A. Whitfield and Claude H. Burns at Annapolis. The se- lections were made following com- petitive examinations. If the ne- gro youths are found physically and mentally qualified, they will enter the two service schools. Alternates have been selected in the event the three principles fail to pass the entrance exam- inations. Negro cadets at West Point and midshipment at Annapolis have been few in past years. In 1873 two were appointed from South Carolina to the Naval Academy both resigning during their first year on being found deficient in their studies. In 1874, a negro youth was appointed from Mis- sissippi only to ‘be dismissed a little more than a year later for the Cadets’ Easter set.

Alumnus Has Leading Role in “Carmen” Roy Nichols, ’26. Is Praised For Work In Debut With Boston Opera Company. CRITICS PRAISE Metropolitan And Northern Audiences Laud Nich- ol’s Voice. of Norfolk. Virginia debut major baritone role in “Carmen” with the Boston Opera company last week, according to reports received at the alumni office here recently. Critics who eard Nichols debut predicted for him a most brilliant career. This was the eve of the two “introductory” performances of the company. The opening of a complete season is deferred un- til next fall. Through the ability he has shown in “Carmen,” he has been engaged for leading roles in “Rigoletto,” “Pagliacci,” “Faust,” “Aida,” “II Travatore,” the only male role in “'oansel and Gretchel,” and will be booked for other operas which will be includ- ed in the repertoine next season. Nichols recently sang in concert at Penney Memorial church, Au- gusta, Maine. The following is quoted from the Daily Kennebec Journal: “Mr. Nichol’s voice, a powerful"baritone, has a lovely quality and a wide range. He knows how to use it and does not mar his artistry with anl of the tricks to which vocalists of- ten resort to get effects. The name of Roy Nichols is one that every music lover should mark well in his memory. It is the name of a young Virginian who, if the predictions of the country’s leading musical authorities come true, will be recognized as one of the foremost American ar- tists.” Roy Nichols, ’26, made his in 3 Rich Quality Another in writing of his eight man in one of this season’sETA week engagement as leading man in one of this season’s Broadway musical successes says: “Roy Nichols brought the house down with his wonderful rich baritone voice. The audience was held spellbound through the rendition of his vocal numbers.” Glee Club Head Nichols was born in Norfolk and began his musical career in the boy choir of Christ church there, later singing as a baritone solo- ist. When he came to Washington and Lee university, he became as- sociated with the Glee club and later became president of the or- ganization. After his second year at this university, he remained out of college two years, studying during a part of the time with an assistant from Arthur J. Hub- bard’s studios and showed excel- lent possibilities. He later returned to Washington and Lee and was graduated with the degree of Bachelor Science. He was a member of the local chapter of the Alpha Chi Rho social fraternity and the Calyx editorial staff. Memorial To Lee Being Built In are building a in The Yankees memorial to Robert E.

The memorial will take the form of the “Cedar Lodge Farm” colony in Riverton, Vermont. Ac- cording to a letter sent the Ring Tum Phi by Mr. Rhoads the colony will be: “A permanent pleasure center to which the most intelligent, quiet, thoughtful, and truly pa- triotic men and women of all parts of the country—south, east, north and west——and who repre- sent many races, colors and creeds could come at stated intervals to meet each other and on terms profanity at the mess table. of equality discuss those great Northern State For “All Creeds” questions which today‘ so vitally affect the interest of humanity and are in the hearts and minds of everyone: education, protec- tion from war and violence, injus- tice and exploitation of the weak and tinted races.” The colony is five miles from Montpelier, capital of Vermont, and is large enough for boys or girls camp in addition to the me- morial colony, according to Mr. Rhoads.

Generals Down Duke in Last Meet Oi Year Take Every Running Event Except Two, And Win, 73 to 53. Grabbing every running event except two Washington and Lee tracksters closed their dual sea- son here Saturday with a 73 to 53 victory over Duke. Captain Backus broke the school record in the 880 for the fourth time this season, being clocked in 1 minute 57 1-5 seconds. The Blue and White took all three places in the 220, 440 and javelin, while the Blue Devils swept the discus and shot. San- difer of the winners was high point scorer, with eleven tallies, closely followed by his teammates, Grant and Williams and Brum- mitt of Duke, who collected ten apiece. Woodward, Duke and Backus, W. & L., divided their expected races to the finish with the for- mer winning the mile, while Backus walked away with the half. Dickey, shifted from the quarter to the 880, showed class to take third in the record break- ing run. Serious need of weight entries was again demonstrated when the Generals saw the Blue Devils gar- ner 18 out of a possible 27 coun- tors. With the Duke meet the Fletch- er-coached machine ended its dual campaign. Four wins out of five meets were registered this spring, the Generals triumphing over Maryland, North Carolina State, Richmond and Duke. North Carolina university, undefeated in eight seasons, registered the lone win against the Blue and White. Prinheijlias Calyx Proof Corrected Copy Has Been Returned And Annual Is Assured By Finals.

Guests At SIPA Banquet Served Army Rations Novel Stunt Put On At Ban- quet Ending Recent Conclave. SOUTH’S EMERGENCE SHOWN BY MEALS “Made-in-Dixie” Dinner Fol- lows Scanty Portions Of Food. One-hundred and fifty diners from thirteen southern states sat wonderingly down to a “banquet" of fried salt pork and unleavened corn pones on on plates at the “Made-in-Dixie” feast closing the fourth annual Southern Interscho- lastic Press Convention at Wash- ington and Lee university here last Saturday night. Nothing else was on the tables in the brilliant- ly lighted dining hall. Dr. William M. Brown, head of the department of Psychology and Education at Washington and Lee, asked blessing for the daily bread. Then the following an- nouncement was made: “A meal exactly like this one at your places was eaten with thankfulness and reverence by troups of the Confederate Army, and by many women and children of the south, sixty four years ago on the eve of Appomattox. A “Made-in-Dixie” banquet, typical of the south of today, will immed- iately be put before you. This is to symbolize the emergence of the South from days of nobility but poverty and ruin to the indus- trial and social competence of to- day. All food at this meal was produced in Dixie and donated by Southern producers.” Students, teachers, advisers, and newspapermen from all the South were present at this culmination of the annual convention spon- spred by the Lee Memorial School of Journalism at Wasington and Lee university, where the first collegiate instruction in the world for journalism was started by General Robert E. Lee while pres- ident of this institution in 1869. Bare Tin Plates As guests entered the banquet hall, they saw’ upon the banquet table only bare tin plates of the type issued by the Confederate government during the war. Be- side each plate lay a pone of corn bread and a small helping of fat salt meat, commonly known as “sowbelly.” A small card be- fore eac guest explained this food to be the ration issued to the few Southern soldiers who were gath- ered at the Appomattox on the day before Lee surrendered. The explanation on the card was veri- fied by a Confederate officer who resides here in Lexington. Chicken from Virginia farm yards, rice from the fields of South Carolina and Louisiana, vegetables from Southern gard- ens, rolls, ice cream, cakes, salt- ed and fresh roasted peanuts were included in the modern Dix- ie menu. j_;__j0—._j.:.

Doctor Howe Will Remain Another Year Dean Of Science School Will Not Reach Age of 70 Till After Board Meets. Despite rumors to the contrary Dr. James Lewis Howe, dean of the school of applied science, will not reach the legal age for re- tirement until next year. He reaches seventy, the retir- ing age, after the Board of Trus- tees meet in June. They will not be notified of Dr. teir next meeting which comes in October. After the trustes are notified that a professor has reached sev- enty they automatically retire him after the following session unless they elect him to remain another year. As the trustees will not be no- tified until October and as re- tirement does not go into effect until the end of the session fol- lowing the notification Dr. Howe will not be retired before 1930, at the earliest. Dr. Henry Lewis Smith is the only faculty member at the re- tiring age this year and he has consented to remain with the university until January, 1930. officially o Students Ignoring Spring Enrollment Shays Doctor Smith Very few students have re- sponded to the call for spring reg- istration thus far, according to Dr. L. W. Smith, who charge. is in The practice of allowing students to register in the spring is to enabzle them to avoid the great rush which always attends the full opening of the University and to give them a greater num- of classes from which to choose. Dr. Smith urges that all students take advantage of this “There no penalty attached to to register, but it is thought that the advantages offered fill cause ber opportunity. is failure a large percentage of the student body to register. “The Broadway Melody” Is First Vitaphone Presentation In Lexington; “The Broadway Melody” opened the presentation of sound pictures to Lexington " and Washington and Lee. Before a crowded house te picture made its premiere on Monday afternoon. Save for the time when the clutch slipped and the hero was speaking the he- roine’s lines the picture ran off smoothly. The picture suggests a musical show all the way through. It was written by a writer of musi- cal shows. It was directed by a director of musical shows. At least one stage star had a leading role. “The Broadway Melody” is a story of a sister act in vaudeville. One sister has brains; the other one beauty. Did you ever see the two together? The sister with the brains, Hank, is in love with a song and dance man who has made good on the great “White Way.” Through him they get a job the musical show in which Eddie, the song and dance man. is the star. Villian Pursues Things do not go so smothly for the sisters. Queenie, the other sister, is enticed by a city slicker. who owns a part interest in the show. Queenie also falls in love with Eddie and he with her, leav- ing poor little Hank holding down the back row in the chorus. Hank then realizes that Eddie is in love _with Queenie and a scene border- ing on the melodramatic begs him to go rescue Queenie from Jock, the bad man who has giv- en Queenie an apartment. Unlike other heroes Eddie gets a couple of rights to the jaw from the villian and is bounced out of the apartment. But Queenie follows him and all is forgiven.

For the fourth consecutive time the “Chatterbox” of the George Washington High school at Dan- ville, Va., won the cup in the Class C newspaper competition. The prize for the best magazine in Class C also went to Danville. Brackenridge High school of San Antonio, Texas, took first place in Class A with its news- paper and its annual. The an- nual, “La Retama,” was winner in Class A last year. Virginia with thirteen entrants, and Maryland and North Carolina with four each, led in the state registration of schools for the 1929 convention. Attendance this year broke last year’s record. More than 130 delegates attended the sessions last Friday and Sat- urday. Books were presented to the delegates placing highest in an individual merit test. Last year ten books were presented with the compliments of the authors, in the case of two of them, and of the publishers for the other night.

THE LETTER OF THE “LAW.” ‘Are we modern or modern in just the things which suit our fancy? Following the World War citizens of our great democracy passed the nineteenth amendment to our constitution allowing women the right to vote and the same place in the law-making bodies of our country as men. Our nation is progressing, everyone will admit, but only last week in Memphis where the Baptist church is holding a meet- ing of its southern division, a woman was denied the right to speak. Papers all over the United States carried articles about this happening, many printed editorials commenting on the denial of this woman her rights to voice an opinion. Douglas Freeman, editor of the Richmond News-Leader, wrote the following editorial which thoroughly expresses our opinion on the matter: “Even in the conservative South, where millions cling to old theology, it is surpris- ing to find the general convention of one of the largest denominations invoked to deny a brilliant woman a place on the program. “We go right against the Scriptures,” Rev. J. W. Porter on Thursday told the Southern Baptist convention, “if we allow a woman to speak before this convention . . .” Later he informed newspaper men that while he was “all for” the organization to which the woman on the program belonged, “I don’t like to see any woman in the attitude of is simply echo of a ritualistic controversy that had been brought over from the syna- gogue. In exhorting Timthony regarding “I will therefore . . in like manner, also, that women adorn themselves in modest apparel, with shamefulness and sobriety; not with braided hair, or gold, orpearls, or costly array; but (which becometh women professing godliness) with good works.” Strict adherence to this admonition would mean that a woman should cultivate “shamefulness,” that she should never wear pearls, and that she should not even wear 3. wedding—ring of gold! Christianity needs nothing more than it needs for its ministers to distinguish be- iween the ephemeral and the eternal, be- tween the Bible as a historical commentary )1! social usage and partial knowledge, and the Bible as the most glorious expression )f the world's highest moral code.” 0 L0, THE POOR GREEK! All fraternity life at Hollins college will some to an end within two years, accord- ing to an action passed by representatives )f the seven national sororities, and approv- ed by the authorities of the college Mon- lay. A petition signed by seventy members of sororities at Hollins set fourth the reas- ins actuating the action. The signers ex- pressed themselves as having the interests )f the college at heart, and stated that they felt that the present fraternity life there was the cause of many factors detracting from the general good of the student body. Among the reasons advanced were: standards for membership are‘ based on popularity and social standing rather than character and ability; the non-fraternity element is conspfcous and causes unneces- sary unhappiness during college, and after because some fine students are lost to the school when they are not asked to join a sorority; chapter rooms in the dormitories tion; presence of fraternities cause a feel- ing of embarrassment and separation be- tween freshman and other classes which prevents the freshmen from entering whole- heartedly into the activities of the school; membership in these groups do not per- mit of impartial judgments and unbiased opinions which should be charasteristic of college men and women. Monday night, President Cocke, announ- :ed that the administration had found it- self in accord with the wishes of the peti- tioners and had decided on the manner by which sororities would be eliminated. This is to be done by ceasing to pledge and ini- tiate after this year. The present members ter this year. The present members of sororities may continue their club life while they are in school. These will all graduate within two years, however, and then the system will come to an end. National sororities have been on the H01- lins campus for over twenty-five years. woman’s relation to the church, Paul said, W make for confusion in the rooming situa- _ Those with the chapters there now are: Pi, Beta Phi Delta Delta Delta, Phi Mu, Zeta‘ Tau Alpha, Gamma Phi Beta, Kappa Delta, and Chi Omega. It has been the rule to pledge new members at the beginning of their sophomore year. Some of the troubles that the sororities have brought to Hollins are peculiar to that teaching Baptist men."’ The reverend gentleman, who hails from Lexington, Ky., evidently justified himself by I. Corinthians, xiv., 34-35: “Let your women keep silence in the churches; for it is not permitted unto them to speak; but they are commanded to be under obedience, as also saith the law. And if they will learn anything, let them ask their husbands at home; for it is a shame for women to speak in the church.” Another much—quoted pas- sage to the same effect is 1. Timothy, ii., 11-12: “Let the women learn in silence with all subjection. But I suffer not a woman to teach, nor to usurp authority over the man, but to be in silence.” These were the words of a man who knew little of women even in a time when their place and education was very different from that of today. In the one instance he was speaking of what may well have been a local condition at Corinth; in the other, he was explaining his own practice to Timothy. In neither case was he laying down a perma- nent rule for the guidance of all generations of Christians, nor was he voicing any lasting principle of right. The best proof of this is that Paul’s ref- erences to women in both these passages were coupled with other admonitions that are admitted to be no longer applicable. Paul insisted, in his letter to the Corin- thians, that “if the woman be not covered, let her also be shorn”—but who would hold today that a woman should not pray or prophesy, unless she either had her head campus, some are universal. The stand that sorority members themselves have taken, “for the good of the school,” is an admirable one, if they are sincere in it.

Swing” has been since it composition quite a while ago, a boon to cheerleaders as a “pep” rouser. There’s no way of telling just how many times it is played to the day, but judg- ing from the number of times we hear it here at “Ole Agrimeck,” it must be up in the grillions. It is the first piece of music that the amateur musician learns. During every college year, it is eaterwauled across the quadrang- le by trumpets, French horns, bass horns, Clarinets, oboes, sax- ophones, flutes, picolos, violins, and, faith-and-be-jabbers, by lads blowing into jugs. Old Sock does believe. The “Swing” is a song like “Old Black Joe” and “Just Before the Battle Mother,” it has stood the test of time——Columnist in Miss. A. & M. Reflector. ON THE HOME STRETCH When the runner sees the goal is not far off, he knows he is on the last lap of the race. He real- izes he has gone practically the full distance of the track, at the same time recognizing the fact that the last'lap is generally the hardest, the most difficult to tread, the most gruelling to ac- complish. He is actuated to give all he has, to resort to the re- serve power he has unconscious- ly stored up for the final sprint to the tape. And with his ef- fort comes the greatest thrill of all time. So it is with the university senior at this time, who is re- turning from the last vacation period in his college career. He has but one more lop to go, The goal—commencement—~is in sight; victory is near at hand. The worthwhleness of the whole race depends on his.acquisitions—men- STUDENTS : Your work for this session - will soon be over and you :1 will go home for your sum- ~ H101‘ vacation.

A number of seniors have been especially fortunate this year in getting a taste of actual contact in their respective fields. Engi- neers, agriculturists, and busi- ness administration students—all have been given the opportunity to View the actual workings of their various endeavors. Geolo- gists and journalists, too, have been able to get an insight into their particular branches—per- haps more so than the other groups since they are given the chance to display their talents in actual practice work.

Spring Goods By Fashion Park and Michael Stearns J. ED. DEAVER & SONS Lexington, Virginia Bostonian Shoes Stetson Hats HATS Red hats-—purple hats——bright blue hats——gandy green hats. Not since the times of Queen Elizabeth of England has masculine head- gear flaunted such an array of hues. The grandeur that was Rome is far outdone by the com- pelling shades of these chapeaux. The once proud peacock hangs his head in shame, and slinks into a corner, disgraced. He was beat- en miserably by the first appear- ance of colorful top-piece of the modern young man. ' As yet possessors of the pas- sionate hats are in the minority. Only a few have appeared upon the campus. It is, however, only a matter of time before such an eminently sensible fashion will have full sway. Strutting college men will pride themselves upon defeating their feminine friends in the race for style supremacy. Hardy athletes will meet and bur- ble over the merits of their re- spective choices. “What a darling hat, Bill! Red is becoming to you.” “Yes, I really think it is, Joe. Mary says she always likes to see me in red.” “I’in going to get an orange one to equally brilliant coats and suits.

By D. GEORGE PRICE. Five runners will wear the Blue and White in the Southern Con- ference track meet at Birmingham this Friday and Saturday. The games will mark the first appear- ance of Washington and Lee~in the ,Dixie meet since 1926 at Chapel Hill. While hopes of returning home with team honors are indeed slim, in Williams, Backus, Grant, Shep- pard, and Dickey, the Generals have entered a combination that will prove hard to beat in their respective events. Besides the mile relay for the championship of the South which will see Back- us, Williams, Sheppard and Dickey in action, Fletcher will start Wil- liams in the quarter, Grant in both dashes and Backus in the half. Grant, upholding the sprint ranks of the Old Dominion, will face thirty other dashmen. In Percy Brown of Louisiana State the far South claims a sure point winner in the century. Brown has been clocked in 9 7-10 seconds this spring. Of times submitted the meet, Grant is best in the 220 with a 21 6-10 record. Bradley of Alabama follows with a 21 8-10 second run, while Brown is rated third. Williamsln Large Field. Williams will have the largest field to compete against when he lines up for the quarter with some forty entries. As in the case of the other runs through the half mile, the heats will be held Fri- day and the finals the following day. If the local entries survive the eliminations, it means that Backus will run two 880’s and a lap of the relay; Williams, two quarter miles and a relay lap; Grant, two centuries and two two- twenties and possibly more if semi-finals are needed. Backus undoubtedly will be in the van in the half mile, but will have to show a nifty pair of wing- ed feet to endanger the confer- ence record of 1 minute 55 8-10 seconds, now held by Gess of Ken- tucky. Thirty-eight middle dis- tance athletes are booked for this event. Washington and Lee mile relay- ists will compete against quartets of Georgia Tech, Vanderbilt, Se- wanee, Tennessee, Clemson, Ken- tucky, Louisiana, Mississippi, Tu- lane, and Auburn. Vanderbilt with a record of 3 minutes 23 sec- onds now holds the championship of that event. Backfields to Run. An added attraction of the games‘ is listed as the quarter mile championship relay for foot- ball backfields. Only lettermen of the gridiron sport are allowed to compete in this race, each run- ner to sprint 110 yards. Although this race will not count in the team scoring seven teams have entered quartets. v Louisiana State, last year’s winners, are again expected to make a strong bid for honors with twenty-six performers in line. North Carolina university follows a close second with twenty-five entries. Of the five General runners, four are sophomores and one a senior. Captain Backus is the lone thinclad who is certain to be missing next season, although Grant is not positive that he will be enrolled here next fall. Shep- pard, Dickey and Williams are members of the crack freshman mile relay contingent'of last year that took second honors for the freshman mile championship of America at the Penn relays in 1928. Over 300 conference runners will participate in the games this year. Although the number of competing teams is less than in former years, the list of individ- ual entries is fifty higher than in 1928. Among the record hold- ers again competing are; Beard of Auburn, who set high water marks in the high and low hur- dles, and Anderson, Georgia's all- round star who holds the javelin record.

An outfield error in the ninth inning with two men out cost the Blue and White baseball team their final game of the season on Wilson field Monday afternoon at the hands of the Duke uni- versity nine by a 5 to 3 score. With the score tied at 3 all in the ninth frame and two men out Hanna, Blue and White fielder, dropped Hawkin’s long fly to allow Adams and Dean to score the winning runs for the Blue Devils. The Generals started the scor- ing in the first inning,’ when they got on to Jenkins, who had‘ previously shut them out at a game in Durham, for two hits after Jacobs and Hanna had gone out and scored two runs. The Blue Devils began their scor- ing in the fourth frame when Weber got on to one of Williams’ slants for a circuit drive. The Blue and White got another ‘run in their half of the fourth when Slanker singled and went to third on a passed ball and an er- ror and was brought in on a squeeze play by Williams. Jenkins seemed to tighten up after the fourth frame and the Generals were only able to get one hit in the last five innings. With the count at 3 to 1 at at the opening of the eighth Kistler, Duke first baseman, came through with the second home run of the game with a long drive Over V ROCKBRIDGE Steam Laundry The Wife Saving Station PHONE 185 center field. Later in the inning Farley sent Murray ‘home with the tying run with a long triple. The Blue Devils were credited with eleven hits off of Williams while Jenkins gave the Blue and White only four safeties.‘ The Duke nine fielded well and sup- ported Jenkins well all during the game only being credited with one error.
