ALUMNI Volume XL Number 4 December 1965 An article on the tradition of conventional dress and PRESIDENT COLE’s assembly speech on the subject appear in this issue, The cover photograph was taken in mid-Novem- ber, and the number of coats and ties visible, as contrasted with photographs elsewhere in this issue, suggest that the president’s words had a worthwhile effect.

He took the occasion of the opening assembly of a new school year to make what amounted to an official expression of the Uni- versity’s attitude toward traditions that have always been considered the welcomed responsibility of Washington and Lee students. No infrequent isolated depar- ture from customary practices of dress and courtesy prompted Presi- dent Cole to speak out in a strong challenge to student pride and self- respect. Instead, his remarks grew out of a growing anxiety among many members of the University family that a sharp change in stu- dent attitude was in progress, and that a serious deterioration of worthwhile student tradition was imminent. Evidences of some kind of change FALL 1965 going on were plainly visible. No longer were there unusual. shirt- sleeve exceptions to a_ jacketed rule. ‘Iwo or three years ago some students started carrying their coats, hung casually over one shoulder on the crook of a finger. Then, as others picked up the habit, some would carry their coats onto the campus, deposit them on coathooks and make their class rounds with- out them. Others found it even more convenient not to bring them at all. Still, perhaps more students were wearing their coats than those who were carrying them or without them. But the usual processes of the assimilation committee seemed. in- effective or non-existent. Then, during the 1964-65 school year, a kind of dialogue wore on through the pages of the Ring-tum Phi, a dialogue that centered not so much on whether a_= student should wear a coat and tie or not, but rather on whether or not the Assimilation Committee should try vss has given way to this, to enforce conventional dress. A student referendum was held in December, an inconclusive vote in which students were offered four ways in which to mark their bal- lots: 1. “I agree with the tradition of conventional dress and the Assimilation Committee as it now stands.” 2. “I agree with the tradition of conventional dress and the Assimilation Committee, but I believe that . there should be some change in the present operation of the committee.” 3. “I believe in the tradition of conventional dress, but I do not believe it should be administered by an assimila- tion committee.” 4. “I do not believe in the tra- dition of conventional dress.”’ Less than half of the student (Continued on page 9) - Ate > a we dual is not lost — University as it is to bd - “necessity. A shirt-sleeved student body gath- ered in Evans Hall to hear Prest- DENT COLE’s address at the opening assembly. The temperature was in ihe nineties, and it was stuffy in the assembly hall, a fact attested to by numerous professors who wore heavy academic robes as well as coats and ties, FALL 1965 no matter what academic degrees or courses were offered here when they were students, no matter how large the student body was at the time, no matter who was president, dean, or professor. The pamphlet called this kind of continu- ity a “unity of spirit” among alumni, a unity of spirit that grows out of shar- ing these values and attitudes, a unity of respect that lasts throughout lifetimes. If you will, let me mention some of the things that generations of Wash- ington and Lee men possess in common. One is the shared experience of studying at a college where the student is treated as an individual, where the academic success or failure of every student has always been a matter of individual concern on the parts of profes- sors, deans, and other counselors. Another is the shared experience of association with a faculty of dedicated teachers—men who recognize the value of undergraduate education, its spe- cial significance, its special joys and rewards; men who have devoted their pro- fessional lives to this kind of teaching. And there is the shared experience of living and studying together in an atmosphere of complete trust and respect, where the honesty and integrity of every individual is honored by every other individual. Still another is the shared experience of friendly association with your fellow students and with your professors, the memory of life in a community where it was easy to be courteous and friendly to others, for others were in- clined to be courteous and friendly to you. And, finally for this summary, there is the shared experience of pride in your University and pride in yourself as a member of its student body. There is a pride among Washington and Lee men that they availed themselves of the educational opportunity here, a pride that they accepted and helped pre- serve principles of honor and integrity, and a pride that they accepted and preserved certain conditions of courtesy and friendliness and certain condi- tions of gentlemanly dress. ‘There has been a characteristic pride among Wash- ington and Lee men that causes the most uninformed stranger to this campus to sense there 1s something different, something special about their institution, A current fad among students is to go sockless, although some will ad- mit it makes for sore feet. Some students don’t abandon their coats entirely, choosing instead to hook them over their shoulders as a cas- ual gesture toward conventional dress, perhaps because of the way the students greet him and each other on the walks, perhaps in the way the students seem to take pride in their personal appearance. I wonder how may of you share this pride. I wonder, because there 1s reason to believe that some of you do not. The freshmen among you recently returned from the orientation lectures and discussions of freshman camp. Various speakers and counselors there told these new students a great many things of great value. Freshmen were told that a Washington and Lee man doesn’t lie, cheat, or steal. ‘hey were told that a Washington and Lee man customarily speaks to fellow students and others he may meet on the campus walks. They were told that a Washington and Lee man wears a coat and tie. It doesn’t take long to discover that some Washington and Lee men do not speak to each other on the campus-walks now. And if the same conditions of dress prevail this year that did last April and May, then the freshman very quickly will feel that his expenditures on jackets and ties could have been invested more wisely in other ways. How can you tell a freshman that he must speak to his fellow students, if practically no one speaks to him; how can you tell him he must dress like a gentleman, yet he sees numbers of upperclassmen without coats, without socks, some with shirttails out, collars open and ties dangling, or with no ties at all? As you know, I am not a graduate of Washington and Lee. My experience as a student and teacher and administrator, before coming to this campus, was at large universities where there was not as much concern for campus courtesy, or with the way students dressed. ‘Therefore, I believe my impressions as to the value of your student traditions are as objective as anyone’s. Last spring the self-study committee raised many questions. Just how im- portant is it, anyway, for our students to speak on the campus, or to wear coats and ties? What has all this to do with education anyhow? Are these tra- ditions worth preserving? Why should Washington and Lee wish to be dif- THE ALUMNI MAGAZINE Tt was hot in Evans Hall as PRest- DENT COLE spoke.

Why should Washington and Lee students be expected to dress dif- ferently, or be any more courteous than any other college students? We talked about these matters at great length. We discussed the very real concern of many alumni and admirers of the University that the traditions are vanishing. I can tell you something of my own knowledge of alumni atti- tudes on this matter, for I have had voluminous correspondence with many, and long conversations with others. They simply can’t understand why you would allow to be weakened those concepts and practices in which they took such pride as students, and in which they still take pride as alumni. They look about them, and they don’t like what they see. They say to me, “What are you going to do about it?” If I say that matters of student courtesy and dress are not subject to University rules and regulations, but rather the province of student self-government and custom, then some of these alumni say it is time the University made it a matter of administrative rules and regulations. Well, I for one am not convinced that this is an answer, and I feel the alumni who suggest this would agree in a moment of reflective judgment. I am certain that a great many of my faculty associates agree. No professor wants to become a policeman for enforcing student dress any more than he wants to become a judge in administering the honor system. In the course of our Self-Study Committee discussion, some conclusions were reached. While it was argued by some that wearing a coat and tie will not directly help a student to increase his knowledge, it was agreed that gen- tlemanly dress can contribute or enhance in the individual a measure of self- pride, self-respect, and self-discipline—all factors that could have some rela- tionship to pride and self-discipline in academic matters. And, it was agreed that the values attached to student tradition by many thousands of alumni, parents, and friends cannot be dismissed lightly. So, the question came to a focus. “What, if anything, can be done to re- verse the trend, to save the traditions?” Jim Kulp, last year’s student body president, felt that the Executive Committee’s amendments of the procedures “I In early May, the warmer weather caused even more coats to be shed. Many students continued to wear conventional dress, but there were limes, such as these scenes, when it seemed the student in a coat was the exception to a shirtsleeve rule. of the Assimilation Committee were a step in the right direction, but he agreed that more should be done. He joined in a recommendation by others present that it might serve a useful purpose if the University’s attitude on the matter be made known to you, the students. It was suggested that the president of the University, insofar as he could do so, express this attitude in his remarks before the opening assembly in the Fall. I am carrying out that suggestion at this moment. Because I believe personally in the importance of your student traditions, and because I am aware of the importance that so many others attach to these traditions, I am making this appeal to you now. I ask you to consider seriously and thoughtfully your attitudes toward these customs, and to consider the value that you attach to them. Review the sacrifices you would seem to make in terms of personal inde- pendence and your freedom of thought and action. Consider the responsibility you tacitly accepted when you chose Washing- ton and Lee as your college. Think about your role in the preservation of certain values and attitudes that have been and continue to be important to men who have preceded you here. Ponder your right to destroy and maim that which many others before you sustained with pride and dignity. Decide if you wish to share in a unity of spirit with other Washington and Lee men of many generations, or decide if you are going to hold in contempt or in apathetic indifference this bond of fellowship. Weigh carefully your obligation to give something of yourself to this Uni- versity, as well as your privilege to take a part of it with you. And when you have thought of these things, when you have made up your mind, then I hope that you, too, will feel the same pride in your University, and the same pride in yourself as a student here, that so many others before you have felt. I wish you good fortune for the coming year.

Camp Remains Best Orientation Method For Washington and Lee RESHMEN CAMP—alter thirty-four k sessions since its beginning in 1g28—continues to provide Wash- ington and Lee with the best ap- proach to freshman orientation at both academic and extra-curricular levels. This September, all but a hand- ful of the 347-member freshman class piled aboard school buses and traveled to Natural Bridge for a three-day program of lectures, bull sessions, and recreation. Each year there seems to be more to cover, particularly in the extra- curricular categories where new student activities want an oppor- tunity to make their pitch to the new men as early as possible. Kreshmen still get academic ad- vice from. deans, professors, and carefully-selected student counsel- ors. Student government represen- tatives talk about student tradi- tions and responsibilities, and ath- letic coaches appeal for freshman participation. Interest perks up most when fraternities are the topic, and some of the most effective or- ientation still takes place in the small group conferences that are more question and answer than formal lecture. As a final touch, campers hear excellent talks by a current stu- dent and an what Washington and Lee should mean to a new man. Dean of students Edward C. At- wood is the current camp director. alumnus on THE ALUMNI MAGAZINE m WILLIAM A. NOELL, JR., 64, was president of the student body his senior year, a champion debater, a member of Phi Beta Kappa and Omicron Delta Kappa, and a Fulbright Scholar. In September of 1963 and again this past September, he ad- dressed the new freshmen in the closing assembly at Freshman Camp. For those who heard him, his comments on what Wash- ington and Lee can mean to a young man were the highlight of the camp experience. Noell spent last year in Europe on his Fulbright grant, and he is currently a first year law student at the University of Virginia. Excerpts from his talk: “To be perfectly frank, gentlemen, you did not decide to go to Berkeley, you go to Yale, you did not decide to go to Harvard or to Prince- did not decide to ton, You decided to come to Washington and Lee. We ask you, then, to feel pride because that choice is your own. And, further, we ask you to give demonstrable evidence of that pride. We ask you to show some respect for this institution which, after all, is your own.” “Generations of students have been writing prologue for Washington and Lee. You have been asked to continue that job. Do not, for one moment, forget that what you do and say in the next four years is what Washington and Lee is do- ing and saying in the next four years. Do not forget that Washington and Lee will be as active as you are active, as com- FALL 1965 placent as you are complacent, as fine as you are fine, as noble as you are noble, as rare as you are rave....Nor should you make any mistake about the fact that what you will write on that prologue is absolutely indelible. Yours is not the right, yours is not the privilege of era- sure .... What you do here stays.” * * * “You had an option as to whether or not you would come to Washington and Lee. You knew of certain advantages that it boasted. Your responsibility, then, is to leave that option open to others. Do not forget that strengthening and maintenance of what exists is a positive, not a negative, force of action,” * * * “Tt is no excuse for you lo say, once you have reached the Washington and Lee campus, thal there are certain up- perclassmen who do not set a reasonable example for you to follow. For these are men who do not have the courage or the strength to assume the responsibility that is. theirs. The responsibility is clearly yours. If examples are not set, it is up to you to set them. But do not believe for a moment that you may shirk responsibility because someone else has failed to assume it. Never make that mistake.” * * * “Gentlemen, what we today hand to you has taken not a lifetime but lifetimes to build. That responsibility should weigh heavily on your shoulders. I hope it will. Study the past, remember the past 4s prologue, understand fully what is meant when someone tells you that privilege is indeed a responsibility. Then maybe you will begin to grasp what Washington and Lee is all about.” 11 “Citius, Altius, Fortius” # OF ALL THE TALKS heard by freshmen at camp, one of the most likely to be long-remembered is the annual sales pitch made by Physical Educa- tion Director Norm Lord as he introduces the various members of the intercollegiate coaching staff. It is unlikely that in their seventeen or eighteen years many freshmen have encountered a person with Coach Lord’s enthusiasm for physical activity. For alumni of the past fifteen years, these shots should recall those memorable freshman days when they were exhorted to become, as Coach Lord puts it, “citvus, altius, fortius!” “Hello, troops, welcome to the muscle factory!” “Tf your body's warm, we want “We dowt care if you can't Jump ‘Yowre going to learn to jump a youl” but this far now!” whole lot farther!” “Were going to have vigorous, “Isn't that what we all want?” “Doctor's excuse? What's that?” healthy bodies!” 12 THE ALUMNI MAGAZINE ar r since: News of The University New Troub Director Says Drama Should Entertain and Teach ® FOR LEONEL L. (Lee) Kahn, Jr., Washington and Lee’s new drama director, a college theater should both entertain and educate. Kahn says the educational thea- ‘ ter (he prefers that term to “college theater’) has two purposes: “First, it should present as many forms and styles of dramatic litera- ture and theatrical production as possible so the students, over their four years here, can see many dif- ferent kinds of theater. “Secondly, for those students in- terested in the theater as perhaps a livelihood, it should offer the nec- essary training and background so they can get into graduate school.| “I’m speaking of those interested in the theater as a career, or who want to teach drama, or even those who just want to take part in their neighborhood theater groups at home. “In an extracurricular theater, you can improvise and ‘make do,’ ”’ Kahn added, “but when you start training people for graduate work, you need the best equipment pos- sible.” At the moment, Kahn and the Washington and Lee drama group, the ‘froubadours, are ‘making do.’ But they also made some perma- nent improvements to the ‘Trouba- dour ‘Theater on N. Main St., in preparation for their first produc- tion of the season, Samuel Beckett’s “Waiting for Godot.” ‘The interior of the theater has 14 been completely repainted, and uni- versity carpenters are constructing a 15-foot circular revolving stage. The revolving stage, to be used for the first time in the production of Shakespeare’s “Richard II” next March, helps alleviate a space prob- lem and will permit set changes not possible before. ‘The theater seats have been re- paired—at a cost of five seats. Re- pair parts being unavailable else- where, it was necessary to use the five seats to patch the others. As a result, the theater now seats 160 compared to the previous 165. “The theater is pretty good so far as the audience’s being able to see the stage is concerned,” Kahn said. “I would never want a theater seating more than g00—the people would be too far away from. the actors. Acoustics leave a little to be desired.” Kahn also hopes to get a new dimmer for the stage lights. “The present one is just not efficient,” he said. Most of the ‘Troubadours are in- terested in the theater strictly as an extracurricular activity. But several want to go on to graduate school in the art. The 31-year-old Kahn is a native of Louisiana and received his bach- elor of arts and master of fine arts degrees from ‘Tulane. He is current- ly working toward his Ph.D. degree from ‘Tulane. Before coming to Washington and Lee, he directed the theater at Delta State College in Mississippi and has worked as a producer and director in summer theaters in North Carolina and New Orleans. He and his wife have three child- ren. Kahn replaced Dr. Cecil D. Jones, who resigned as drama di- rector to accept a similar position at Vanderbilt University, his alma mater.

THE ALUMNI MAGAZINE Conventional Dress (Continued from page 9) pected the usual remarks from the president at the start of a new year, and some dozed as President Cole led into the meat of his address. Then, almost suddenly, he was talk- ing to the students in a way they had never heard before. And, with very few exceptions, they listened. When it was over, after President Cole had challenged each of them in terms of personal responsibility and pride, they applauded. For a one young man stood, but he was soon joined by others until the entire student body was on its feet in an apparent afhrmative response to the Presi- dent’s appeal in behalf of student tradition. As they filed out into the hot afternoon sun, some still carried their coats, but many, perhaps a little self-consciously, slipped them on. The next day, despite con- tinued go-degree weather, the coats were definitely back in the majority again, and as the spirit of President Cole’s remarks prevailed, the coat- less again became the campus ex- ception. The Ring-tum Phi editorial col- umns welcomed the renewal of em- phasis on student tradition, al- though some columnists took ex- pected pot shots at the assembly speech. But, in the main, for the time being at least, the President’s statement of University attitude to- ward student tradition had had its desired effect. Students and professors alike will comment on the improvement this fall in the general adherence to conventional dress. It has been a long, mild autumn, with little cause for students to retreat into topcoats. The cover photograph of this issue was taken in mid-November at a typical class break. One or two shirt-sleeved students are visible, but there’s little resemblance be- tween this photo and the ones ap- pearing on Page 8, also shot dur- moment, only FALL 1965 ing a normal class break in carly May. Will this new, revitalized, posi- tive attitude prevail next spring? Maybe so, maybe not. About the only thing going for conventional dress is the spirit of President Cole’s challenge to the students, an assurance that student traditions are more than superficial in the fibre of Washington and Lee’s educational experience. Tra- dition for tradition’s sake appears to have little appeal to students of the mid-1960’s. On the other hand, there are a number of factors that could con- tinue to work against conventional dress as known and respected by generations of alumni. There is a trend toward more casual dress, among persons of all ages as well as students. Conven- tional dress is now limited just to the campus, not to Lexington, as students today prefer to don casual attire for off-campus living. There will be inevitable spill-over onto the campus. There is no longer a_ general, whole-hearted endorsement and support of student conventional dress among members of the facul- ty. As the faculty, as part of a na- tional trend, becomes more mobile, and as older professors retire, few new men willingly undertake to encourage conventional dress, and some frankly attach no importance to it. Their backgrounds, perhaps, were at colleges where few students wore coats or ties, so even a fifty- fifty ratio at Washington and Lee smacks of formality, pleasant or otherwise, to them. Students will continue to reflect confused attitudes toward conven- tional dress and other student tra- ditions. For a student who, chances are, isn’t very friendly to his next door neighbor back home, it will become increasingly difficult to expect him to speak cordially with total strangers on the campus walks. Students generally want to con- form, to be accepted, and some will wear coats and ties to conform at Washington and Lee, while others will cast them aside in order to con- form with the national image of the college man. ‘The Washington and Lee student body remains essentially conserva- tive in its political, economic, and social attitudes. Yet, many seem to feel they should be more rebellious one way or another. Some will choose to attack conventional dress. After all, it’s easier and safer to hate your coat than a Communist or a Bircher or whatever. It's possible to get a good college education wearing a T-shirt and a pair of blue jeans. Despite some important “carry-over” effects in terms of self-discipline and _ self- respect, conventional dress really doesn’t have much educational value. At least, it wouldn’t have on most campuses. But, then—if we who are alumni can believe what we feel as a re- sult of our years here—Washington and Lee is different from most campuses. Conventional dress is, if nothing else, a symbol. It is a symbol of a young man’s acceptance of a way of student life that is distinctive in the premium it places upon indi- vidual honor and integrity and in- dividual responsibility. Such a symbol, then, becomes to most of us an integral part of our Wash- ington and Lee experience, and we want others who follow to respect and accept this symbol, too. More than one person close to the University has concluded that the real danger from a deteriora- tion of student tradition is its chain reaction effect. It has been said that the demise of the speaking tradi- tion will bring about the end of conventional dress, and the end of conventional dress will mean the death of the Honor System. Perhaps this is the best reason why this symbolic tradition we call conventional dress must survive. 19 salt ee » Upperclassman Parents Attend Fall Program HERE WAS A NEW WRINKLE to the OF aeverk annual Parents’ Week- end this past year at Washington and Lee. For the first time, the event was held only for parents of upperclassmen and law students.

The fresh- man program drew 552 guests and was considered successtul. The divided attention grew out of a great strain the combined weekend placed on Lexington and area accommodations. In other words, ,arents’ Weekend — had grown too big for itself. But, this October the Parents’ Advisory Council reversed itself, voted to welcome the freshmen parents back at the big weekend next year, and chances are the event will be big- ger than ever. ; P : : PRESIDENT and Mrs. Cote greeted many parents at an evening reception in Evans Dining Hall.

Here Boom, No. 14, com- pletes a touchdown pass fo All-State end ‘TERSH BAKER in the Generals’ win over Southwestern. Bloom threw eight TD passes in’ the last six games of the season. Injuries to Key Players Are a Big Factor in Football’s 3-6 Season T WAS THAT KIND Of year at Wash- I ington and Lee where injuries, an inconsistent offense, and many passing opponents combined to prevent the Generals from anything better than a 3-6 football season. Ironically, the Generals were supposed to have finished around 6- 3, based on a solid offensive unit and a stingy defense that had been ranked tenth nationally among small college pass defenders in 1964. Signs of the disappointing year appeared early, even before the Generals began thinking of their first game September 25. Senior halfback Harry Brookby was in- jured during the Generals’ only pre- season scrimmage and was declared out for the year with a broken arm. Another halfback and an expected FALL 1965 By A. MICHAEL PHILIPPS Sports Publicity Director starter, sophomore Luke Crosland, also was told that he had to sit out the year because of illness. After that, injuries to key per- sonnel came week by week. In all, twelve players missed a majority of the season, including senior half- back Ed Bradbury and senior full- back Mike Goode, both of whom were out after the first two games. “This was the worst year for in- juries since I’ve been here,” said head coach lee McLaughlin. “Al- though we'vc always been accus- tomed to haying our share of dis- abled players, we've never had so many out thresghout the season. We kept Johnson & Johnson in business all year.” When McLaughlin wasn’t worry- ing about his injured list, he was concerned about his offense. Ex- cept for senior fullback John An- thony, and the late-season passing of sophomore quarterback . Andy Bloom, the Generals’ offensive unit never really meshed. ‘The Generals were shutout in three games and could manage only one touchdown each in two other games. The 3-6 season record was the worst since 1958 when W&L was 1-7. When all else failed, Anthony still was the big man for the Gen- erals. ‘he senior carried 197 times for g15 yards and 42 points. He av- eraged close to 102 rushing yards per game and 4.6 yards per carry 21 os while on his way to erasing Walt Michaels’ modern _ single-season rushing record of 719, set in 1950, the ‘Gator Bowl season. Anthony’s biggest game was against South- western of Memphis when he car- ried 35 times for 174 yards and three touchdowns. Bloom’s passing became better as the season progressed. Against Southwestern, he hit nine passes of 12 attempts for 140 yards and one touchdown, while he complet- ed 18 of 33 attempts for 232 yards and two touchdowns at Washing- ton University in the season finale. Altogether, he threw eight touch- down passes during the year. “Bloom's going to be a real fine one,” said McLaughlin. “He won the Guilford game almost single- handed by throwing three touch- down passes despite coming off the bench without a great deal of act- ual game experience.” One of the Generals’ big disap- pointments this year was their in- ability to come up with a pass de- fense at the right time. Although Fullback JOHN ANTHONY W&L picked off 18 enemy passes, the opponents connected on key throws time and time again for first downs and scoring plays. Indicative of the Generals’ year- long plight was Washington’s suc- cess in passing for 304 yards and four touchdowns. Altogether, nine Opponents completed gg passes of 21g attempts for 1,306 yards, 61 first downs, and ten touchdowns. “We certainly had our problems in pass defense,” “Itll be one phase of our game that will get strict attention next year, especially since we'll lose most of our starting players to gradua- tion.” said McLaughlin. The Generals will see a total of 21 players graduated this June, leaving McLaughlin with a young and inexperienced team for 1966. This year’s freshman squad was 4-2, however, so there may be some hope for the comeback that was supposed to have happened _ this season. Here’s the season record: WkL 0, Randolph-Macon. ........

Captain Lee Johnson led the Generals, taking four first-place finishes, two seconds, and one third. In addition, the senior sociology major from Louisville, Ky., set a new W&L record on the 4.1 mile- long course, covering the distance in 23:40. The old record of 24:10 was held by Charlie Head. A highlight of the season was the first annual College Athletic Con- ference meet held at Washington University in St. Louis, where the Generals finished second to the host Bears. ‘team members John- son, Bill Lowry, George Parker, Bob Stack, Bill Wildrick, Ralph Pearcy and Rif O'Conner combined 99 to give the Generals 47 points, which put W&L above Centre, Southwestern, and Sewanee. ge WeL’s Tim Henry, left, in a violent col- lision on Smith Field. = ALTHOUGH the Generals’ soccer team completed a 7-3-2 season, it was somewhat of a long, frustrating year for Coach Joe Lyles’ experi- enced team. Three games, includ- ing an important second-round state tournament contest, went into double overtime, and three times the Generals failed to record a win. The tournament game ofhcially ended, o-o, but the win was given to Randolph-Macon on the basis of more corner kicks (6-5). ‘he Generals, who had beaten the Yel- low Jackets, 2-1, earlier in the year, came back to win over Virginia Tech, 2-1, to wind up third in VISA standings. Fullback Dave Redmond was named to the All-South and AII- State teams while halfback ‘Tim Henry and wing Dave Kirkpatrick joined Redmond on the Virginia all-star squad. It was Henry’s fourth year on the All-State team. THE ALUMNI MAGAZINE Winter Prospects Cage Team Gets Boost From Frosh RESHMEN—some of them the re- f sult of a frenzied recruiting ef- fort by Coach Verne Canfield— hold the key to success or failure for the Generals on the basketball courts this season. After suffering through a harrow- Ing 2-17 season in his first work as a college coach, Canfield took to the U.S. mails and the highways to seek out promising basketball tal- ent and persuade its possessors to come to Lexington. His recruiting weapons were limited: the opportunity to study at a good undergraduate college, a shot at financial aid if they quali- fied on merit and need, and the prospect of considerable varsity ac- tion as a freshman player. Canfield’s approach was similar to the magnificent effort by foot- ball coach Lee McLaughlin in 1957-58 when a similar recruiting drive attracted freshmen who helped build the undefeated elev- ens of 1960 and 1961. Whether the former highly — successful high school basketball coach will be as successful—and as fortunate—as Mc- Laughlin remains to be seen, but he is at least making progress. Three of his freshmen already have made significant difference in the team’s performance in early December campaigning, and while the record is still a losing one, the Generals have matched last season’s FALL 1965 CAPTAIN Bos SPESSARD with victory total and surely will win more. The best of the new men is 6-2, 185-pound forward Rob Bauer, whose credentials include AIl- State honors at Pensacola, Fla. Through ten games he has been averaging close to 14 points per game, and Canfield tabs him as a genuine future star. Another freshman _ starter is John Carrere, a 6-1 guard from New Orleans, where he played on the Louisiana state championship team. Carrere scored 21 points in his varsity debut in the season Opener against Bridgewater Col- lege, and this was, by two, a better freshman mark than Dom Flora, '57, the Generals’ greatest point- maker ever, made in his first game, also against Bridgewater. From Lexington High School’s Valley District champs, Canfield got 6-5 Earl Edwards, a strong re- bounder who has filled in admir- COACH VERNE CANFIELD ably for senior center Bob Spessard on several occasions. Spessard, the team captain for 1965-66, continues to be an on and off player, and he and everyone else has at last learned to accept the fact that he will never be the player his father was. But he adds exper- lence, 6-5 height, steady rebound- ing and occasional scoring spurts to the W&L effort, and Canfield looks for the Roanoke senior to have his best year. Steve Sweitzer, another senior letterman, is likewise hot and cold, but he has the potential of playing good basketball when the mood is upon him. Sophomore Jody Kline, a 6-2 leaper from Sault St. Marie, Mich., rounds out the starting five, and in Kline the Generals could have a real comer if his improve- ment continues. All in all, things are looking up... the only view possible from the bottom of the well. t 1965—-A Colorful Homecoming WASHINGTON AND LEE’S ITH alumni spread to the four winds, Homecoming in Lexington has never been the big spectacular that it is on many campuses. Never- theless, those alumni who do come back for the annual weekend find the experience rewarding, and in the case of football heroics, highly exciting. Some things change. Pep rally paraders carry flares instead of torches, and no one wears pajamas. Classmates and friends can get to- gether before and after the game at the luncheon and jamboree spon- sored by the Alumni Association. Next year, the presence of the Alumni House should make for an even better Homecoming event. As for the football excitement, this year the Generals scored two touchdowns in the final two min- utes of play to edge a strong and highly favored Guilford College team, 26-20, after all seemed lost indeed. Last year, the Generals upset unbeaten Sewanee to delight the Homecomers, and this tradition of success is one Coach Lee McLaugh- lin would like to maintain. Homecoming events this year included a torch parade on the eve of the football game with Guilford College’s Quakers. A good crowd turned out, including some who couldn't get a baby-sitter. The Phi Psi’s won the prize for the best house display, mainly because they resisted the temptation to play upon the “Cream the Quakers” theme that the other seventeen houses adopted.

A target date for completion of the project has been set for late April. Chapters Begin ‘Their Campaigns To Support the Alumni House Fund By WILLIAM C. WASHBURN Executive Secretary Washington and Lee University Alumni, Inc. HE INK ON THE CONTRACT was hardly dry when W. W. Coffey & Son, the construction contractor for the Alumni House, began to work. At first it appeared the demoli- tion phase at 34 University Place would level the house to the ground. From the ripping down of the old wooden porch to the clanging sound of pipes and radia- tors, the noise was evidence enough of change. As the old cracked plas- 26 ter was removed, a cloud of dust seemed to engulf the place. But finally the sound of the crowbar and pneumatic drill was superseded by the hum of the electric saw and the rap of the hammer. With the new outside terrace on three sides of the house now completed and many of the new partitions for the lounges and other rooms in place, things are beginning to take shape. Progress is on the move. Fortunately, there has been mild weather for much of the out- side construction. Because there is heat in the house (the facility is on the University’s heating system), the construction crews can continue to make good progress during the more severe weather ahead. While in the meantime back at the mine! The financial campaign to raise the required $100,000 is under way. H.

It is too early yet to make an overall report, but Chairman Mor- ison urges each alumnus to give this important project his undivid- ed attention and a high priority on the list seeking his support. Mori- son stated in a recent letter to the chapter chairmen, “Washington and Lee’s indispensable resource lies in its widely dispersed alumni. Without their informed and con- tinued interest, guidance, and sup- port, its other assets will not sus- tain its important role in our na- tion. Washington and Lee’s future is our concern and we should cre- ate this place of welcome to alumni on the campus that will so signifi- cantly mark our identity with our University. By this act we will make a basic contribution to the preservation and endowment of our University’s indispensable re- source.” When the Alumni House cam- paign worker calls on you, consider this appeal earnestly and give gen- erously.
