AND L. TEAM BY 79-47 SCORE North Carolina University, unde- feated in a dual track meet since 1922, when the Navy conquered them, continued their winning streak of 1928 by downing the Generals here Thursday 78 5-6 to 47 1-6. The Tar- Heels took eight first places and the Generals five, while the high jump resulted in a tie for top honors. The three pit events were the only ones in which the Generals excelled as a group, the invaders cleaning up on the track and in the weight toss- es. Sandifer, high point man last week at Duke, retained his honors by scor- ing seventeen points against the Tar- heels, annexing firsts in the 100 and 220 yard dashes, securing a tie for honors in the high jump, and span- ning enough ground to finish second in the broad pit leap. Carolina scored all nine points in each of the mile run, the 220 yard low hurdles, the 880, and the shot put, and won eight out of a possible nine in the discus. The Generals took eight points in the broad jump and in the javelin throw. Nance won the two mile. Summary: Mile: Barclay, N. C.; Wrenn, N. C.; Cox, N. C. 4.33 3-5. 220: Sandifer, W. &. L.; Smith, N.

King, chief of police here, is in a Roanoke hospital recuperating from an operation necessitated by a sudden attack of appendicitis. Chief King and his wife drove to Roanoke Tuesday on business, and was taken with an acute attack that afternoon, which forced an imme- diate operation. He is expected to 3 Crew Captains To Make Squad Cuts Following Easter Albert Sidney and Harry Lee crew squads will be cut immediately af- ter the Easter holidays, according to Captain “Pat” of the former and Coxwain Plummer, who, Garvin with ex-Captain Turner is taking charge of the Harry Lee squad while Captain Pierpont is in Florida. Albert Sidney still has 40 men out, while there are 36 candidates for the Harry Lee shell .Practice is still being held daily from 3:30 until 6 o’cliock. Some of the new men out for the boats give promise of developing into real oarsmen and are expected to make last year’s men look to their laurels. The new men in the Albert Sidney squad who are showing up well are Kane, Bolton and Stearns. Gamble and Miller who were out last year are doing good work. A few of the new Harry Lee can- didates who are showing real abil- ity are Dosey, Heaps and Towill. Swinkv and Merke of last year’s Freshman squad are also showing up well. The Freshman crews will race on Saturday during Finals, the same day as the second crew race. Nix, Tallyn, and Exum, all first year men are doing good work according to Captain Garvin of Albert Sidney, and he is confident of developing a winning crew. Since /Captain Pierpont is away, not much could be learned about the Harry Lee first year men, but according to those in charge Cor- pening, Pearman, Harbeson, and the Bowes brothers all show good pros- pects. I Debators Chosen To Make Northern Trip Week After Easter B. J. Wagner, manager of the debating team, Dan Sherby, and R. O. Morrow will represent Washing- ton and Lee in the northern trip ofthe debators. They will accompany Pro- fessor Marvin G. Bauer, coach of the team, in their invasion of Washington and Baltimore. The first meet of the trip will be with American Uni- versity of Washington on Friday, April 13. W. & L. will uphold the negative side of the question, Resol- vcd, “that the United States cease to protect by armed force capital in- vested in foreign countries without formal declaration of war.” Washing- tonland Lee argued this subject with the Florida team last month, the discussion centering around the pre- sent Nicaragua situation. The team will next meet John- Hopkins in Baltimore, Monday, April 16, and will defend the negative side of the question, Resolved. “that the Eighteenth Amendment be re- pealed.” This subject has been popu- lar in intercollegiate debating circles because of the importance it plays in contemporary politics. The W. & L. team debated the visiting Englishmen last fall, and the Alabamans last month, on the similar questions win- ning both meets. The team was ful- ly prepared to present the argument from all view points, Professor Bauer declares. He expects it would make a credit- able showing‘ on the last appearance this year. The Johns-Hopkins de- bate will close Wagners’ career as a debater on the W. & L. team, of which he has been a member the past three years, serving as manager, and member of the Debating Council this year. Both Morrow and Sherby have appeared in intercollegiate de- bates before. TRAVEL NUMBER OF MINK APPEARS WITH AIR OF SPRING IN CONTENTS With an air of bright spring snap- piness and freshness in its contents, “The Travel Number” of the Mink appeared on the campus Wednesday morning of this week. The cover of this issue of the university humorous magazine is adorned by a red-haired girl of Titian beauty, designed by “Dud” Carr. The title page, in the form of a Spanish dancing girl, is also executed by Carr. Further contribu- tions of this artist are a double- page feature entitled “Travel” and a quarter-page design. The contents of the magazine dis- play an unusual array of attractive are and literary work. Art work by Frances French, Joy Glenn and Dud Carr feature with literary work in prose and verse by Harry Godwin, Tommy Thames, Bern Bullard and Tom Sugrue making the contents very readable and interesting. An attractively illustrated poetically-written editorial page is one of the main features. A poem by Dorothy Dow, famous poet, is used to carry out the theme of the issue in addition to the editorial, art and literary contents. Wilton M . Garrison, editor-in- chief, and George S. DePass, busi ness manager of the Mink, announce that two more issues will appear this year. The April issue will ap- pear about April 25th and the Finals Number, which will be the eighth and final issue of the year, will appear about May 31 or June 1. and be absent from duty for several weeks. ——-——O SIGN UP FOR CAPS ,& GOWNS All Seniors are asked to sign up for caps and gowns on the poster at the CORNER immedi- chers, Wilson or Mount. ately. Freshmen and Sophs Clash April 26 In First Intramural Track Battle Freshmen and sophomore classes will clash in Washington and Lee’s first intramural track meet on the afternoon of Thursday, April 26. The class teams will come largely from the gym classes since those out for freshman and varsity track are not eligible. It will be a regulation track meet with the dashes, the hurdles, the pole vault, the javelin and the weights. Winners of the first place in each event will be present- ed medals by the Athletic Associa- tion. This dual meet is being inaugurat- ed here for two purposes; to get more men into otudoor activities and to uncover‘ unknown track material among the students. It has already thrown gym classes into the out- doors and relieved the monotony of a winter of “suicide.” Cy Twomby has charge of the sophomore’ gym classes while A .E . Mathis has charge of the freshmen. They are taking classes to Wilson field daily where each student picks the event he wishes to try put for. Once signed up for his event the student devotes his gym periods to bettering himself in it. Mathis requests that anyone who thinks he has track ability, if not out for track, to come out and try for one of the class teams. Interest in the coming meet is already wax- ing strong, some men working out every day instead of coming out only during their twice-a-week gym class- es. Three W. & L. O-rators Enter State Tryouts Washington and Lee will have a representative in the Virginia try- out of the National Collegiate Ora- torical contest to be held in Lee Chapel on Friday, April 27. The winner of the contest here will enter the district tryouts at North Carolina. District victors will compete in Los Angeles June 21. Five thous- and dollars cash will be distributed among the sectional winners. The representative from this school will be selected after try- outs are held in Lee Chapel, on Tuesday April 17. J. B. Clower, Jr., W. H. Maynard, and L. Y. Foote have registered as tryouts and other men wishing to be on this list are asked to see Professor M. G. Bauer immediately. Each tryout will deliver a ten- minute address on “The Constitu- tion,” or else on the relation be- tween Jefierson, Marshall, Franklin, Madison, Webster, or Lincoln and the constitution. 0 A letter has been received from Dr. Wm. McE. Miller, a missionary in Meshed, Persia, in which he gives a few ideas concerning his work at that place. Dr. Miller is an alumnus of Wash- ington and Lee, having received his Bachelor of Arts in 1911 and his Master of Arts in 1912. Mrs. Smith’s Mother Dies at Lee House Mrs. Mary Sampson Dupuy, mother of Mrs. Henry Louis Smith, wife of the president of Washington and Lee died at the Lee house, president’s home, Thursday afternoon following an extended illness. She had been an invalid here for over a year, and death had been anticipated by attend- ing physicians and relatives for sever- al days. Born in Richmond October 1841, deceased was in her eighty- seventh year. She was a daughter of the late Francis S. and Caroline Dudley Sampson, of the capital city. The remains were taken to David- son, N. C., yesterday morning, and burial took place there today. Five daughters and one son survive these being Miss Lavalette Dupuy, of Korea, Mrs. J. A. Taylor, of Lex- ington, Mrs. Frank R. Brown, of Greensboro, N. C., Miss Jean Dupuy and Mrs. W. L. Lingle, both of Rich- mond and T. D. Dupuy, of Greens- bore. 23, . _._o______ PRESTON MOORE IN TOWN J. Preston Moore, manager of track during his senior year, 1926-27 is spending the Easter vacation from his work as instructor in rom- ance langauges at Davidson College, North Carolina, at his home here. He aided in officiating at the North Carolina track meet Thursday. GENERALS SPLIT IN TWO GAMES WITH DUKE BLUE DEVILS The Washington and Lee varsity ball club evened things up with the Duke Blue Devils yesterday morning afternoon when they got the better end of a 12 to 10 slugging duel. The Generals move over to Raleigh to- day with an average .500 in the South Atlantic League race. In the opening game of the series, Southpaw Belue proved too much for the Washington and Lee swatst- ers. He limited their hits to four, and but for streaks of wildness and faulty support, would have had a shutout. On the other hand the Duke batsmen nicked Captain Folli- ard for 10 safeties, including a home run by catcher Warren, which netted them five markers. Yesterday, the Generals complete- ly reversed the tables on the Blue Devils and outslugged for the long end of a 12 to 10 tally. Radford occupied the mound for Washington and Lee for the first time and went the route after his team mates had given him a substantial lead. Other details of the game were unavailable as the RING-TUM PHI went to press. The Generals are slated to oppose the Wolfpack of State College today, and will end their stay in North Carolina be en- gaging the Tar Heels in Chapel Hill tomorrow. ____()._______ Bulletin Reaches 25,000 Circulation President Smith’s latest message, Bulletin number four, has reached the largest circulation of any pub- lication ever issued by the Univer- sity. Dr. Smith stated that 25,000 of these latest personal message bulle- tins, on the subject: “American Man- hood and the Liquor Problem.” have been dispatched throughout the the South and North, some 15,000 having been sent to high school seniors 5,000 to representatives and leading citizens of the nation, ‘and the remainder of students irrespec- tive of classification. As the average edition of Presi- dent Smith’s personal address to prospective students is about 10,000 copies, the unusual importance of this issue may be ascertained by comparison. Dr. Smith does not hesitate in affairming his opposi- tion to Al Smith as Democratic nominee for the presidency, and his bulletin, although it does not go in- to any discussion of politics, sincere- ly reviews conditions existing before prohibition came, into effect and em- phatically embraces the present or- der, saying that the old order can never again gain the ascendency in this world of intellict.

TROUBADOURS PRESENT EASIER SHOW AT NEW THEATRE_T_UESDAY “Butter and Egg Man” Has In- tial Showing Here Be- fore Extended Trip TOUR BEGINS APRIL 11 ENDS SATURDAY NIGHT Thames and Gibson Take spians To Four Virginia Cities The- By W. M. Garrison They’re all set! Immediately after staging the first public performance of “The Butter and Egg Man” in the New Theatre in Lexington on Tuesday afternoon, April 10, the Troubadours of Wash- cington and Lee will leave on their annual Easter-week road trip through Virginia and Tennessee. This season’s play is a comedy in three acts, which will be presented through special arrangement with Samuel French of New York. The play had a long run on Broadway last spring and was a decided suc- cess. Production of the show has been under way for a number of weeks under direction of President “Tommy” Thames of the Troubad- ours, and final polishes are being added this week. The schedule of playing dates for the four cities to be visited is as East Radford, Va., April 11——To be presented in the State Teachers’ College auditorium Wednesday night, sponsored by the Bee-Hive, State Teachers College year book. Marion, Va., Thursday night, April 12——To be presented in the Court Square theatre, sponsored by the senior class of Marion College. The Southern Collegians will play for the opening of a new hotel in Marion, and also for a dance at the hotel af- ter the show. Abingdon, Va., Friday night, April 13—To be presented in the Stone- wall Jackson College auditorium, sponsored by the freshman class of Stonewall Jackson. Bristol, Va.-Tenn., Saturday night, April 14-—To be presented in the Virginia High School auditorium, sponsored by the Fort Chiswell Chap- ter of the D. A. R. The troup will return to Lexing- ton on Sunday night, April 15. The H. P. Knight Scenic Studios of New York City shipped half a carload of scenery to the Troubad- ours this week, and first trial of it was given last night in the New Theatre. It is very attractive and will lend a professional air to the production of “The Butter and Egg‘ Man”. This scenery will be taken on the trip. Costumes, wigs, shoes and make-up will be furnished by the Wililam Beck and Sons Company of Cincin- nati. Three cases of special lighting effects will be carried by the prop- erty managers on the trip. Stage settings in the form of such “props” as furniture and tapestries will be secured by arrangement with mer- chants in the various cities. The troup will travel either by motor bus or in a private Pullman car, probably the latter. No expense or effort has been spared by the management in securing perfect com- Baltimore. (Continued on Page 4) By W. M. Garrison Washington and Lee students who are interested in the finer things of life, with a tendency toward act, will find pleasure in visiting Lexing- ton’s first art exhibition of the 1928 spring season, beginning this after- noon in the V. M. I. Alumni Hall. The following invitation is self-ex- plantatory: “Captain Hobart Ryland invites you to an exhibition of landscape paintings—scenes in French Alps, about Grenoble, the Blue Ridge 'Mountains of Virginia, Long Island and Woodstock, N. Y., by Hilde- garde Hamilton in the V. M. I. Alumni Hall, Saturday, April 7th to Saturday, April 14, inclusive, from 1:30 p. m. to 6 p. m. and from 7 p. m. to 9 p. m. Students Invited to Opening Spring Art Exhibit At V. M. I. Alumni Hall . The work of Hildegarde Hamilton, who is the wife of Captain Hobart Ryland, is already familiar to many students who saw her exhibition last spring in the including scenes from both Europe and America, will be sure to prove interesting. She is an artist who loves color, and her work of 1927 and 1928 has been pre-eminently of this trend. Her oil sketches are mostly of care- fully selected picturesque bits, warm with vivid sunlight aglow on autumn fields, or the quaint villages in the French Alps with their pink and blue cottages. A special invitation has been ex- tended to Washington and Lee stu- dents and professors by Captain and Mrs. Ryland to view the art exhibi- tion during its stay here. I \ ‘_ .

SMOKING—NO DECORATIONS FAILURE of plans for decorating the gymnasium for the Easter set of dances next week is due to the apparent un- willingness of students to co-operate with administration officials in banning smoking from the dance floor, according to informa- tion gained yesterday. Together with this announcement came one of far greater im- port to lovers of Washington and Lee dances. This was a state- ment that authorities here are contemplating banning decora- tions for Finals unless a better spirit of obedience to the smok- ing rule is shown next week. Requests, notices, rules, and the like have been made known to students regarding smoking for several years past, but until now no drastic threats have been made regarding stringent action toward enforcement. The fire in the gym during the winter, started, many believe, by a cigarette dropped by a dancer, has made it necessary for the rules to strictly enforced, in the face on danger of dances being banned from the gym by action of the board of trustees due to the added fire hazard. If Washington and Lee is to have its customarily glorious Finals, every man attending the dances next week should remem- ber the ultimatum—for such it is in effect—and refrain from smoking except in such rooms as may be expressly reserved for this recreation. fl PUBLICATION WORK CREDITED THERE HAS always been much discussion as to why students were not allowed college credit for the work done in various extra-curricular activities. It is obvious that credits would be impossible in a number of cases, but in the journalistic field there have always been some who have insisted that students should be credited with work done in this department. Clemson College has recently made an announcements through its depart- ment of English to the effect that next term seniors will be al- lowed three hours credit for work done on the student publica- tions, if their work merits their passing the “course.” Under the plan at Clemson the work will be credited under the head of journalism and will be granted for the first term only. If the work turns out successfully, the officials will allow the same type of work to be continued the second semester. The student must average three hours work a week on the publica- tion to which he has been appointed or elected. The work which he does during this time will be passed on by the English de- partment which will have the power to “disqualify a prospective recipient because of the inferiority of his work.” It is generally believed that this plan will be a success. At least the students will be given practical problems and produce original work. It will also increase interest in the periodicals and assure the fact that all of the most competent men will be actively engaged in some field of journalistic endeavor. The main problem before a number of collegiate editors is that of in- ducing the most capable men, in a number of cases the seniors, to work for the various publications. The general cast is that juniors and seniors not interested enough to enter active competition for the highest honor in that particular field usually drop completely out of the work and leave much of the work of a publication to five or six men. If credit is given for work on the various journals men will natural- ly be more interested in the type of work they produce. Men who otherwise would not be interested in this field of endeavor will also be drawn into it. With these numerous advantages, the collegiate journals should at once make noticeable improvement. It is possible however, that the men taking such courses as the one outlined above will be inclined to loaf. A certain amount of this is to be expected in any college, but the increased ability of the larger staff should more than counteract this. With an- other southern college taking an action such as the one men- tioned above, officials at Davidson might look into the situation to discover its merits, if there be any.——DAVIDSON. J WITHINV LIMITS NTERNATIONALIZATION of education without denationaliza- tion of the individual is the ideal state outlineld by Vincent Massey, Canadian minister to the United States, in an address on the sixtieth anniversary of the founding of the University of California. “The scholar who moves from one country to another,” said Mr. Massey, “will find his loyalty to the best of what is in his own system strengthened and not weakened by seeing it for a time in perspective of distance. If he is sound at heart, his un- derstanding of other points of View will be deepened without impairment of his allegiance to what is his own. “In the same way, the nation, self-conscious and self-respect- ing, is not only compatible with world concord but even under- lies it. Nationality, far from being an obstacle to world peace, is, rightly understood, the very pillar on which it must rest. “I cannot sympathize with the efiorts, however well intention- ed, to denationalize education. How difficult it would be to per- suade boys and girls to cheer for abstract ideas such _as universal brotherhood, but how natural to ask them to shout for the con- tribution which their country is making to the universal brother- hood.” n COSTLY EXPANSION EXPANDING collegesshould give ear to Dr. Hamilton Holt, 4 president of Rollins College. “If I should be asked to name the chief fault of American education today,” he said, “I would unhesitatingly say it is the insatiable impulse to expand materi- ally. The things that make a college great are the quality of quality of the place where teaching is done. Under the policy of haphazard expansion for its own sake, our student body is not better but only more numerous, our buildings are temporary and inharmonious, and our professors are underpaid and over- studented.” KAPPA PHI KAPPA HOLDS APRIL MEETING The Gray Phantom Omicron Chapter of Kappa Phi Kappa, national education fraternity held its regular monthly meeting on Tuesday evening, April 3.

Here at Washington and Lee students, supposed to be speci- mens of a more developed strata than their simian ancestors, fol- low their example and ascend telegraph posts to express that exuberant spirit, that comes with the breaking buds. Just a few days ago behind one of the local fraternity houses, a freshman was seen to nimbly ascend a telegraph post to its complete height and and then slide down and ap- proached one of his frat bro- ther who begrudgingly handed him $2.00. Said frat brother, goaded on by well-meaning neighbors, lay- ing aside his “seniorial dignity, attempted to emulate the ex- ample of his more youthful bro- ther, but failed, as he reached a point about two feet from the top, when he found he could pro- gress no further, and had to des- cend. Four years at Washington and Lee is enough to make a man need monkey glands. 0____ If you have not already subscribed to Finals do so and assure yourself of a great set of dances with good music. 1.

STUDENTS Tine $50.00 sun TO BE. eoaaowrn Only $950 of Annual Harmon Fund Appropriation Has Been Used Fifty dollars is left from the $1,- 000 appropriation for Washington and Lee student borrowers from the Harmon Foundation, 140 Nassau Street, New York. Dr. W. M. Brown said today $950 of this $1,- 000 appropriation for Washington and Lee has been loaned thus far. This amount was distributed among five borrowers. Thitry-five local students have received a total of, $4,950 on a character security from the Harmon Plan Loan Fund since it was established at this college five years ago. Since its foundation in 1922, by William F. Harmon, this organiza- tion has loaned a total of $374,482 to students in 73 colleges, with con- stantly increasing annual appropri- ations. This year a total of $129,- 550 was apppropriated, from which 528 college people have already borrowed $95,760. ‘ The students seeking loans must be recommended by the loan com- mittees of their own colleges, and must be working for a bache- lor, or higher, degree. They must be in their junior year or above ex- cept under the Harmon College co- operative plan, when they may be- gin to borrow in their sophomore year. The maximum loan is $250 a year under the Harmon plan, and $200 under the Harmon special stu- dent plan for borrowers in non—af- filiated colleges. All contracts pro- vide an interest charge at six per- cent from the date the loan is made. Repayments in five dollar monthly installments are made beginning six months after graduation. One year after graduation, the installments become ten dollars, and are contin- ued at that rate until the entire amount has been paid. “We beleive that character, with group responsibility, is a sufiicient collateral for student loans, and the extremely small percentage of loss sustained over a period of six years is statistical proof to the world that our theory is sound,” Mr. Har- mon says. Another feature of the loan is the Certificate of Honorary Member- ship which a student receives upon the satisfactory discharge of his debt. It is endorsed by three New York bankers, and is a great aid in securing employment or obtain- ing future loans, is it indicates an attitude towards obligations that the student may expect to carry with him in whatever he does. Further information about a Har- rnon Loan can be secured from Dr. W. M. Brown., chairman of the 10- cal student loan committee. ____0;___ FROSH BASEBALL SCHEDULE April 7wJohn Marshall, (Here).
