DOES NOT MAKE ANY STATEMENT Reasons For Refusing Offer Are Not Known—Refers Reporters To Committee. Richmond, Va., May 18.-—(Spe- cial from the News-Leader):- Governor Harry F. Byrd has been invited to become president of Washington and Lee University and has declined, according to well-authenticated reports here today, the News-Leader said. Governor Byrd, when asked about the reports, said that he preferred to have any statement on the matter come from the committee now seeking a succes- sor to the retiring president, Dr. Henry Louis Smith. Members of the committee could not be reached for a statement this afternoon. Governor Byrd is a farmer, horticulturist and newspaperman and has never been identified with active educational work except in a capacity as legislator and gov- ernor. He was educated in the public schools of Winchester and at Shenandoah Valley academy, and he entered business when he was 16 years old. He was largely instrumental in the construction of the new Hand- ley school at Winchester and in other local educational activities during his career, and later was a member of the senate commit- tee on schools. His business career has been one of the most remarkable in Virginia, for coincident with ac- tive political service in the sen- ate, as chairman of the state Democratic committee, as leader of the pay-as—you-go road fight, and as governor, he has man- aged. several newspapers and built up one of the greatest ap- ple orchards in America. His hor- ticultural and other interests have brought him a considerable for- tune within the past ten years. Pulitzer Prize in South Again Norfolk Editor Wins Prize For Best Editorial Of the Year. For the second time in as many years a Southern newspaper edi- tor has won the Pulitzer prize for the best editorial of the year. This year, a Virginian, Louis I. Jaffee, editor of the Norfolk Vir- ginian-Pilot, received the annual Pulitzer prize of $500. Last year it wasvwon by Grover C. Hall, editor of the Montgomery (Ala.) Advertiser. Newspaper workers in Chicago, St. Louis, and New York were the other winners. Mr. Jaffee was declared winner of the prize for his editorial en- titled “An Unspeakable Act of Savagery.” It was one of a se- ries on lynching. M1‘. Jaffee, who was connected with the Durham (N. C.) Sun and the Richmond Times-Dispatch before going to Norfolk, is widely known through- out the state, and outside of Vir- ginia is known as a spokesman for the independent liberal group in this section. Julia Peterkin’s “Scarlet Sister Mary” was adjudged the best American novel of the year; El- mer L. Rive’s “Street Scene,” the best original American play rep- resenting the educational value and power of the stage; Fred Albert Shannon’s “The Organiza- tion and Administration of the Union Army 1861-1865,” the best book on the history of the United States; Burton J. Hendrick’s “The Earlier Life and Letters of Wal- ter H. Page,” the best American biography teaching patriotic and unselfish services to the people, and Stephen Vincent Benet’s “John Brown’s Body” the best vol- ume of verse by an American. Letter awards all carry prizes of $1,000 except that for history, which carries a prize of $2,000. the faculty. Mr. Graham stated that this were optional for other members NOTICE TO SENIORS John A. Graham, professor of Romance language and head of the committee for seating students at assemblies, announced to the RING-TUM PHI last night that all seniors who will graduate this year must attend the baccalaureate sermon in the Lee Memo- rial chapel Sunday, June 2, and the graduating exercises in the chapel Tuesday, June 4, or be deprived of a diploma by order of and only students who have obtained permission from the faculty may be absent from either of these assemblies without suffering the drastic punishment.

Fourth Place Granted Team At Birmingham Jerry Bryan Of Birmingham News Dopes Generals To Tie With Miss. A. & M. SOME RECORDS ARE IN DANGER Dash, Hurdle, Mile, Half Mile And High Jump Marks May Be Broken. With 200 or more of the South’s best competing this afternoon in the annual Southern conference championship track and field meet in Birmingham, Ala., Washington and Lee's five entries are picked by Jerry Bryan, sports writer of the Birmingham News, to garner enough points to secure at least a tie for fourth place for the Blue and White. All but a bare half dozen of the Southern conference schools will have entries. The University of North Carolina and L. S. U., fa- vorites to fight it out for the championship, hope to have strength in numbers and each are sending in the neighborhood of twenty-five participants to the meet. Whereas ten records were brok- en and one equalled last year, dopesters predict less than half that many to fall today. Percy Beard of Auburn is picked to lower the time in both the hur- dle events, while Grant along with several others will in all probability smash the hundred- yard record. The half-mile, the mile and the high jump are the only other records that seem in any great danger of falling. Just before entraining for Bir- mingham, it was announced that Sheppard, Dickey, Backus, and Williams will run the mile relay in that order. Grant, the Gen- erals’ star sprinter, who has been attracting the attention of writers all over the country, is conceded by most of them to capture sec- ond place in the hundred, and first in the two-twenty. Backus should outdistance the half-milers, and the relay team is picked to take first or second place in the mile relay. The Blue and White will possibly place also in the four-forty and broad jump, though nothing higher than third or fourth place is expected in these events. If any faith whatsoever can be placed in past performance, and if Lady Luck doesn’t take too large a part in this afternoon's contests, we may venture to state that Washington and Lee will finish in the upper five at least. Two-Mile—V. P. I. (Penn), 5; goes much further than this by doping out the probable ranking of all the entrants, schools and also individuals, even predicting the points each will receive. His following predictions are taken from the Birmingham News: The following “dope” summa- ries on the Southern conference track and field meet are based on performances of the various athletes in competition this spring: 100—~Alabama (Bradley), 5; Washington and Lee (Grant) and L.

Final Drive Towards Bridge Fund Started Conflict-With Finals Drive Is Reason For Delay In Starting. A drive to secure all back pay- ments memorial bridge fund was launched night before last by Captain Dick Smith in conjunction with the managers Ac- cording to Mr. Smith, there are on the class of the four major sports. 300 unpaid subscriptions ranging from $10 to $30 each and as there are several notes coming due dur- ing the summer it that the money be collected. The list of unpaid subscriptions the senior managers who have divided the is essential was turned over to names among the sophomore as- sistants. These men will endeav- or to see every delinquent sub- scriber before next Wednesday. The campaign was deferred un- til this time in order that there would be no conflict with that for Finals. The officials of the bridge fund contributions realize that the bank accounts of the students are very light at this time of the year, but an- nounce that they will take post- dated checks on home banks until July 15. Collegian Will Appear May 31 Finals Number Will Contain The Usual Run Of Short Stories And Articles. in charge Plans are being made at pres- ent to have the Finals edition of the Southern Collegians off the press and delivered on or about May 31. The magazine is to contain the usual short stories, articles, poe- try, and humor section. Chief among the short stories are “Liebestraum” by Tom Sugrue, “Shadows” by Gus Elias, and “Civilization” by Graham Morri- son. “Tradition and Progress” by George Ashworth, editor-elect of the Southern Collegian, and “All Agape” in which a University of 1 Virginia student gives some very frank views of Washington and Lee from a Wahoo’s standpoint, are the outstanding articles. Edi- torials, poetry and humor and a short farewell piece by the re- tiring editor and business mana- ger, Tom Sugrue and Graham Morrison, complete the issue. Auburn ‘Fiiosh’ To Retain Their Hair The old practice of cutting hair _ of-freshmen is in disrepute in Auburn. By a formal resolution the inter-fraternity council de- clared it to be a “demerit to the Alabama Polytechnic institute, an encroachment upon the personal prerogatives of individuals, and not in accord with the future growth of the institution. Members of the inter-fraternity council pledged themselves to abolish it by refraining from clipping the hair of fraternity pledges and “by doing everything in our power to abolish the cus- tom on the campus.” Collegians To Dishand, Never Perform Again For Five Years Considered South’s Greatest Col- lege Band. DENY THAT THEY WILL PLAY AT V. M. I. Orchestra Already Disorgan- ized Forever, Reporter Is Told. The Southern Collegians will never again play for a dance. They have disbanded forever. The last informal marked their final appearance on a dance floor. Five years ago one of the South’s popular college dance or- chestras and with two summer tours of Europe to their credit, the Collegians will break up and their members scatter over eleven states this summer. The Collegians deny reports that they will play for the Vir- ginia Military Institute dance to- night. They say they will never play together again. Only three members of the Col- legians, D. T. and E. L. Gresham and Homer Shook, have definitely decided to return to Washington and Lee next year. The others will leave school or transfer to other universities. Although offered several con- tracts in Southern resorts for the summer, the Collegians refused them on deciding not to remain bers of the orchestra are going together any longer. The mem- to their respective homes. Nearly every member comes from a dif- ferent state. Eleven states are represented in the orchestra. If Washington and Lee has an orchestra next year, new talent will compose it. Whether the or- chestra next year will retain the name “Southern Co1legians” could not be learned today. Homesickness caused the dis- banding, judging from reports cir- culating today. One member of the orchestra, for instance, has been unable to return home for two years becapse of vacation contracts the Collegians had ac- cepted. 0 Kaplan To Head Biology Society For Year ’30-’31 Election of officers for the com- ing year were held at the recent joint meeting—banquet of the Biology Society. M. H. Kaplan was elected to lead the society next year. To assist him, in the capacity of vice—president, the members chose J. P. Lynch. Other members elected to office were: A. M. Harvey, secretary- treasurer; Eugene Johnston and W. E. Waddell as members of the executive committee. The banquet was held at the Robert E. Lee hotel, under the di- rection of Alfred Junkin, who is the retiring president. Junkin in- troduced Dr. H. D. Campbell, who acted as toastmaster. Dr. Camp- bell called on all the new and re- tiring officers for short talks. The new officers were installed by President Junkin after the banquet. o Twenty-eight N. C. Students Get P.B.K. Twenty-eight University of North Carolina students were for- mally initiated into Phi Beta Kappa, national honorary scholas- tic fraternity, for high scholastic average maintained over a period of three or more years recently. The honor was conferred upon nineteen juniors and nine seniors. Students at the University must average 95.5 per cent or over in all courses to be eligible. They must be in either their junior or senior years. Gordon Grey, Winston-Salem junior, led the list of initiates with a three-year average of 97.29 on all courses and automatically became president of the society for next year. William J. Adams, Jr., of Carthage, was second with an average of 96.48. He will as- sume the duties of vice-president for the coming school year. RAIN FORCES TRACK MEET INTO ONE DAY Coaches at the Southern Conference track meet in Bir- mingham at a meeting late yesterday decided to hold the entire program of events, in- cluding preliminaries, today. The action was taken after a heavy rainfall at the Alabama city yesterday. Many entries were withdrawn by coaches to facilitate the handling of the meet in one day. In the 440-yard dash and the half-mile sufficient entries were withdrawn to make only one heat necessary in each event. The 120 and 220-yard hurdles were the only events left untouched by the p1'uning knife. No Washington and Lee en- tries were withdrawn by Coach Forrest Fletcher, as all are sure point getters. New Cut sy To Elevate revised cut system to go into work will be allowed cuts. a degree, Dean H. D. Campb \ Alumni Plan Dansants Will Feature Final Dance Season Several Fraternities An- nounce Plans For Dances; One At Natural Bridge. Three fraternities have already arranged to give special dances during Finals. One dance pre- cedes the boat races Saturday af- ternoon and the other two come Monday, one being at Natural Bridge. The Phi Delta Thetas and the Sigma Nus will hold probably the largest affair of the fraternity dance group Monday afternoon from 4 to 7 at Natural Bridge. Jan Garber and his orchestra will play. Monday morning from 11 to 2 the Kappa Sigs will give a dance at their house with either Jan Garber or the Collegians playing. From 3:30 till 4:30 Saturday afternoon the Pi Kappa Phis will dance at their house in a pre- boat race affair. Definite ar- rangements for an orchestra have not been completed yet but the Southern Collegians will probably furnish the music. 1..r..;;J°E.E Finals Budget Clear $250 Which Will Help Finance Finals—300 At Dance. Three hundred students and guests attended Finals Informal last Saturday, Finals officials stated yesterday. The crowd, which was the largest to attend an informal dance for several years, was swelled by the pres- ence of the visiting Duke track- men and by the delegates to the S. I. P. A. convention held here last Friday and Saturday. After expenses amounting to $125 were paid off, a sum of about $250 was left which will be turned over to he Finals finance committee. The proceeds were not quite as large as the crowd would seem to indicate due to the admission as guests of the Duke men. and the press convention delegates. With this $250 added to the Finals resources there will be no thought of curtailing the dances, according to George Lanier, pres ident of Finals. While the amount that has been realized is not quite what the budget originally called for, Finals week will again be the brilliant event of past year. _.j.j._;0_jj_j._. A total of approximately $25,- 000 has been contributed to the Robert E. Lee Memorial Founda- tion for the purpose of complet- ing the payments on Stratford Hall, he birhplace of General Rob- ert Edward Lee, in Westmoreland county, and restoring the house. This amount was obtained as the result of the first week’s work in the drive to obtain con- tributions. A total of $500,000 is being sought, at least one-fifth of which will be required early in June in order to enable the foundation to take title and begin the work of restoration. Luncheon For Finals Week Meal To Be Served Monday After Meeting Of Alumni Board Of Trustees. NEW SECRETARY TO BE SELECTED Kemp’s Resignation Causes Move—Many “Old Grads” Expected Back A luncheon served Monday noon at the Alumni building will be the main feature of the reception which is being prepared by Ver- l;-on E. Kemp, alumni secretary, for the returning alumni during finals week. This luncheon is an annual affair, and is given to the alumni, their wives, and the faculty by the university. Due to the fact that the reg- ular homecoming day was held last fall, on the day of the V. P. I. football game an elaborate program will not be arranged at this time. The luncheon will be preceded by a meeting of the board of the Alumni, Inc., at which meeting, the question of securing a new secretary to tke the place of Mr. Kemp, who has accepted another position, will be the most import- ant item. Thus far no definite action has been taken on this matter, but it is expected that it will be settled at the meeting. It is impossible to tell how many of the “old grads” will be back, but a number have al- ready made arrangements to be here, and a large crowd is ex- pected. One very interesting group of alumni who have written that they will be here is known as “Dan Owen’s Gang.” Dan Owen, a graduate of the class of ’13, is a prominent orchardist from Cro- zet, Va., and his gang consists of Judge and Mrs. E. C. Cafferey, Mr. and Mrs. Randolph Cabbell, Mr. and Mrs. Rayford Alley, and Mr. and Mrs. V. E. Kemp. The distinguishing feature of this group is the fact that Dan al- ways brings with him a large country ham, apples, pickles, crackers, or any thing else that map happen to strike his fancy, and no matter what the time or day, whenever this gang gets together, there is a regular feast. The leader of the alumni fig- ure in the senior alumni ball has not been definitely decided, but it is most probable that Judge E. C. Caffrey, president of the Alumni, Inc., and leader of the figure last year, will act in that capacity again this year. 0 Presbyterians Hold Services “The Glory of the Cross” will be the subject discussed by Rev. J. J. Murray of the Presbyterian church here in his sermon at the Sunday morning church service. “The Conqueror of Jesus” will be the subject of his sermon at the eight o’clock evening service. An invitation to all of the students of Washington and Lee has been issued by Rev. Murray to hear the two sermons on Sunday as well as to attend all other func- tions of the church. 0 Rose: What type lives longest? Marie: A rich relative. of person stem Aimed Scholarship Dean Says That Because Of Large Number Applying For Entrance To University Move Was Made. Radical changes aimed to stimulate scholarship mark the effect next fall. Official an- nouncement of the new plan in all its details will be posted on the bulletin boards Within the next few days, but the following are the most important changes. No student making less than a “C” average in his class A “C” average is required for ell pointed out, and the new ruling will not affect the large majority of the student body who are aiming to take their degrees. With the student body restricted to about 900 students and with many more than that number of applications for‘ admission being received, the new requirement has been practically made necessary to stimulate scholarship in the student body. . Averages will be computed on a basis of quality credits. As many quality credits as quantity credits, or hours of work, will be required, then, to gain cuts. A grade of “B” will counteract a “D”, and will average “C”. No Cuts For Freshmen The second important change affects the incoming freshmen, who will not be allowed any cuts until after the first semester ends in January. Both of these rulings are sub- ject to special provisions to take care of sickness, of absence for athletic trips, and of absence on other university business. Rul- ings for double cuts four days before and after the major holi- days — Thanksgiving, Christmas, and Easter—remain the same, as do the provisions for double cuts one day before and after minor vacations such as Fancy'I)ress, the Easter dances, etc. The requirements for the Dean’s list remain th same. A student making a “B” average during one quarter is entitled to unlimited cuts during the following quar- ter, or until his grades fall below a “B” average. A grade of “‘ ” automatically excludes a student (Continued on Page Four). Faculty Plans Summer Exodus Will Go To Widely Separated Localities To Spend Sum- mer; Many Teach. Members of the Washington and Lee faculty will be located in widely scattered portions of the United States during the coming summer. Prof. Ollinger Crenshaw will go to Johns Hopkins to pursue work in the graduate school to- ward the doctor’s degree. Prof. Ellard will teach at the Univer- sity of Missouri, and Mr. Mapel will teach there. Dr. Walter A. Flick will lec- ture during the summer at Emory university. VV. B.

The squads of both crews have been cut several times to date the various Ohio Universities, par- ticularly Ohio State, may no long- er spend their summers as sail- ors on the Great Lakes, which has previously been a very impu- lar occupation.

Bill Plummer will work on the first crew, Bowes will be on the second and Streit will be on the freshman 'boat. Although no definite selection has been made for the members of either of the crews, Moifett is basing his hopes on Durham, vet- eran oarsman, Swink, another V veteran of Harry Lee, and Ham- ilton or Thornton as the fourth member. These men are all considered as the most likely members of the first crew of Harry Lee but the men who will row number two crew will no be definitely known until the final selection of the men are made. The freshman crew will have Venable working . as stroke, with Rudes rowing number one, Nichols at number two and Tonsmiere or McKinney as number three and Streit as coxswam. Captain Gamble was not quite as certain about the members of any of his crews and reported that he would make his final se- lections after two or three work- outs next week. Gamble has around sixteen men working for ' berths on the Albert Sidney boats. Thirteen of these men are oars- men while he has three cox- swains who are almost certain choices to work in the annual race. Both captains report heavy training the past few workouts and assure their squads of the maximum of work from now un- til the races two weeks from to- day. Moifett expressed the be- lief that the boat races this year would draw equally as much in- terest as in former years and be- lieved that the change of date for all the races from Monday to Saturday of finals would mean much toward increasing interest. The Harry Lee and Albert Sid- ney pilots both expect real races and nothing in the way of train- ing is to be spared in the last few workouts. Captain Gamble says that both of the squads have been hampered considerably by the divided work of some mem- bers between crew and spring football along with recent bad weather, but with the closing of football work yesterday it looks as though the two leaders can look for a major part of the time from their members. While the Harry Lee squad looks most promising with the bulk of veteran material along with much weight and experi- ence of the newcomers the Albert Sidney leader believes’ that the races will really be close and the outcome of none of the races can be predicted beforehand. ‘ The interest shown in last ‘ year’s races really brought out the popularity of Washington and Lee’s annual North river races during finals. The Albert Sidney first crew captained by Pat Gar- vin won out over the Harry Lee crew piloted by A. W. Pierpont last year, while the Harry Lee second crew won a thrilling race QUALITY AND SERVICE Special Dinners 50c 12 noon to 9 p.m. We’re not sure any more what “dynamic” means—- but if it means what we think it does——activc——— stirring——up and at ’em—then it’e our word.

By the quality credit ruling a student taking 18 semester hours work must make 36 quality credits to make the Dean’s list, and must make grades not lower than “C”. Half Semester Ruling In the event that a student making the dean’s list the first quarter takes, let us assume, seven cuts‘ in a three hour course, and then fails to make the dean’s list the second quarter, he falls under the rules of the regular system, and it is considered that he has taken all his cuts in that class—three cuts—-with of course, no penalty for the extra cuts. All absences during the second quar- ter, then, will result in loss of right to unlimited cuts, and fresh- men will not be allowed to absent themselves from classes until they have proven their scholarship.
