* took the st<strong>and</strong> that politics are good for elections, that they<br />
invoke interest <strong>and</strong> activity on the part <strong>of</strong> the students. From a purely<br />
idealistic st<strong>and</strong>point, we'd like to go on record as saying that we<br />
think politics are absolutely <strong>and</strong> irretrievably bad. Naturally, we<br />
mean "dirty politics."<br />
But, facing the facts, we know that they're here—at <strong>William</strong><br />
<strong>and</strong> <strong>Mary</strong> as well as in the rest <strong>of</strong>'the world—to stay. And at<br />
<strong>William</strong> <strong>and</strong> <strong>Mary</strong> they will henceforward<br />

newly de-cocooned fraternities. Thus<br />
the fraternities have an inescapable<br />
responsibility. <strong>The</strong> fate <strong>of</strong> many a<br />
student government election, including<br />
the impending elections <strong>of</strong> Men's<br />
Honor Council, Student Assembly representatives, <strong>and</strong> class <strong>of</strong>ficers,<br />
will undoubtedly be decided in the individual fraternity meeting.<br />
In the first election after the reactivation <strong>of</strong> fraternities, it is to<br />
be feared that the Greeks will forget everything else in the supreme<br />
desire to put their men in, to prove that their group is composed <strong>of</strong> the<br />
Big Men on Campus. We hope this won't happen. To prevent it,<br />
the fraternities must, in spite <strong>of</strong> their "growing pains" maintain a<br />
sense <strong>of</strong> balance; specifically, they must choose their c<strong>and</strong>idates carefully,<br />
selecting them for qualities <strong>of</strong> leadership rather than popularity,<br />
for competence rather than fraternity affiliations.<br />
We've heard a lot in the last three years about the fine energy <strong>and</strong><br />
the great worth <strong>of</strong> the men's fraternities. <strong>The</strong>y're back now, <strong>and</strong><br />
we're about to be shown.<br />
N. L, E.<br />
F ROM<br />
the ten-minute report which Pat Jones made at the<br />
W.S.C.G.A. meeting Monday we learned that other colleges<br />
face the same problems that <strong>William</strong> <strong>and</strong> Man/ does. Some meet<br />
them in our way, some in others. <strong>The</strong> conference which Pat attended<br />
at Northwestern University brought forth many suggestions. Already<br />
she has begun the investigation <strong>of</strong> two <strong>of</strong> these. We commend such<br />
prompt action, <strong>and</strong> ask only that the other ideas be given equally good<br />
attention.<br />
One <strong>of</strong> the suggestions on which she reposed seems particularly<br />
worthy <strong>of</strong> consideration by the Judicial Committee. At the University<br />
<strong>of</strong> Arkansas "all misdemeanors<br />
are h<strong>and</strong>led by house boards <strong>and</strong> are<br />
council should<br />
share the job<br />
not turned over to the Judicial (committee)<br />
until deemed necessary."<br />
Such a system would seem to have<br />
many advantages over the one which<br />
<strong>William</strong> <strong>and</strong> <strong>Mary</strong> uses. It would<br />
1) give the house committee greater responsibility, thereby creating a<br />
greater division <strong>of</strong> authority <strong>and</strong> power among individuals (as is advocated<br />
in the point system) ; 2) give <strong>of</strong>fenders the opportunity for a<br />
personal trial since their character <strong>and</strong> attitude is better known by<br />
the women in their dormitory than by the members <strong>of</strong> the Judicial<br />
Committee; 3) provide the Judicial Committee with greater prestige<br />
<strong>and</strong> respect since their consideration <strong>of</strong> a case would be reserved for<br />
important <strong>of</strong>fenses.<br />
Immediately the question arises "Which violations would be<br />
judged by the house committees?" "Misdemeaners" is the word Pat<br />
used in her report. <strong>The</strong>se would perhaps include lateness, dating out<br />
<strong>of</strong> hours, failure to sign out, <strong>and</strong> infraction <strong>of</strong> other minor rules. It<br />
is reasonable that a third <strong>of</strong>fense <strong>of</strong> any kind would automatically be<br />
reviewed by the Judicial Committee.<br />
^ A second question arises "What about the sorority houses? <strong>The</strong>y<br />
don't have house committees." A solution to this problem would be<br />
a committee composed <strong>of</strong> the sorority house presidents. <strong>The</strong>se <strong>of</strong>ficers<br />
are, underthe present system, only figureheads who do a few weekly<br />
"drudge" jobs.<br />
In the past few years much has been said about the importance <strong>of</strong><br />
house committees. In the spring <strong>of</strong> 1944 the proctors <strong>and</strong> the house<br />
<strong>of</strong>ficers met with the president <strong>of</strong> the college, the dean <strong>of</strong> women, the<br />
assistant dean <strong>of</strong> women, <strong>and</strong> the W.S.C.G.A. chairmen to have the<br />
importance <strong>of</strong> the house committees stressed to them. .Since then<br />
the chairmen <strong>of</strong> the judicial committee have made special talks to the<br />
house committees about their being an" "intergral part <strong>of</strong> women students'<br />
government." <strong>The</strong> response to these approaches have been<br />
So what! We really don't do anything." <strong>The</strong> house committees<br />
realize that under the present system their jobs are <strong>of</strong> relatively little<br />
importance. But they are capable <strong>of</strong> doing more "governing" than<br />
is alloted to them. _ <strong>The</strong> proposed system would give them a chance<br />
to actually become important as a governing group <strong>and</strong> would create<br />
an opportunity for more individuals to have an active part in the administration<br />
<strong>of</strong> student government.<br />
At present the Judicial Committee is at work revising the social<br />
rules. We suggest that they consider a revision <strong>of</strong> the method <strong>of</strong> reviewing<br />
the violations <strong>of</strong> these rules.<br />

<strong>College</strong> is a seat <strong>of</strong> higher education. We can't<br />
all sit in the seat, however, because some people<br />
take up too much room. To retain one's seat requires<br />
an irreducible minimum showing in grades,<br />
as much as we hate to admit the fact.<br />
Over the basic structure <strong>of</strong> the courses we take<br />
we build a gigantic superstructure <strong>of</strong> life which almost<br />
submerges the importance <strong>of</strong> classes. Fraternities,<br />
sororities, dates, clubs, beer, movies, meetings,<br />
elections, social life, etc., etc., <strong>and</strong> etc., are<br />
fun. <strong>The</strong>y take up a lot <strong>of</strong> time. In fact it's<br />
sometimes hard to fit classes into<br />
a heavy program <strong>of</strong> such doings. % - •<br />
Time <strong>and</strong> again we hear our- *; •<br />
selves make the claim that classes<br />
are but a small part <strong>of</strong> the educational<br />
process <strong>of</strong> college, that college<br />
is a place in which to acquire<br />
a certain kind <strong>of</strong> culture. But our , ' .<br />
statements are shattered by those<br />
periodic appraisals <strong>of</strong> our class- '"<br />
room work which are referred to<br />
as "grades."<br />
With the college receiving more applications than<br />
the average Hollywood casting <strong>of</strong>fice, the pressure<br />
is on. <strong>The</strong>re's always someone who could replace a<br />
student who fails to make the "grade". • Everyone<br />
<strong>and</strong> his dog is in college, <strong>and</strong> those damned dogs<br />
are smart!<br />
All <strong>of</strong> which means that in order to stay in college<br />
one must pass a certain amount <strong>of</strong> work. How<br />
to pass?<br />
stinson asks<br />
rehabilitation <strong>of</strong> matoaka<br />
Spring has arrived in Colonial <strong>William</strong>sburg in the l<strong>and</strong> <strong>of</strong> the<br />
sunny south. With the coming <strong>of</strong> the season when the men's fancy<br />
turns to what the women have been thinking about all year, it is<br />
quite normal that afternoon walks in the woods replace the winter's<br />
afternoon bridge game. We do not'intend to discuss the emoional<br />
uprisings that are wrought by the coming <strong>of</strong> spring. We leave this to<br />
poets, the song writers <strong>and</strong> any who consider themselves, through present<br />
experience/masters <strong>of</strong> the subject. (Incidentally, for the biologist<br />
spring is the time <strong>of</strong> the year he spends Saturday afternoons<br />
collecting specimens for the lab.) :<br />
However, even the biologist on his purely scientific traverse <strong>of</strong><br />
the woods, is able to detect signs <strong>of</strong> decay in the bridges <strong>and</strong> benches<br />
that the college at one time saw fit to place in Matoaka Park. For<br />
anyone who ventures to walk through Matoaka, it becomes quite apparent<br />
that the condition <strong>of</strong> the paths has been marred somewhat by<br />
the absence <strong>of</strong> the wooden bridges that once made it possible to cross<br />
the streams without the fear <strong>of</strong> wetting one's feet. Now, with the only<br />
remains <strong>of</strong> former bridges being a few inappropriately placed logs, it<br />
is not an uncommon occurence for the lover <strong>of</strong> nature to find himself<br />
suddenly confronted with the problem <strong>of</strong> dragging himself out <strong>of</strong> four<br />
feet <strong>of</strong> mud.<br />
Equally indicative <strong>of</strong> neglect in the upkeep <strong>of</strong> Matoaka Park are<br />
the benches placed along the pathways. Very few, if any <strong>of</strong> them at<br />
the present time <strong>of</strong>fer much <strong>of</strong> a resting place for the w<strong>and</strong>erer in<br />
the woods. With the bottomless seats the simple primitive act <strong>of</strong> sitting<br />
down is brought about with no little difficulty. In fact it requires<br />
all <strong>of</strong> one's energy to maintain himself in a position that in any way<br />
resembles the normal sitting posture. In short, the benches are falling<br />
apart.<br />
Tjhe <strong>College</strong> <strong>of</strong> <strong>William</strong> <strong>and</strong> <strong>Mary</strong> is fortunate in having Matoaka<br />
Park right in its backyard. It is very apparent that a large number<br />
from the student body find it useful for a variety <strong>of</strong> reasons. That<br />
some time <strong>and</strong> energy has been spent in the past laying out pathways<br />
<strong>and</strong> in general improving the appearance <strong>of</strong> the park, can easily be<br />
seen. But at the same time there are glaring evidences that the manmade<br />
additions to Matoaka are<br />
falling into ruin.<br />

Since the benches <strong>and</strong> bridges<br />
in the park receive almost yearround<br />
use, it is to be expected that<br />
they should eventually begin to<br />
show signs <strong>of</strong> wear. <strong>The</strong> college<br />
authorities in charge <strong>of</strong> maintenance<br />
<strong>of</strong> the grounds have evidently<br />
not taken account <strong>of</strong> this fact.<br />
While so much attention is being<br />
given to the improvement <strong>of</strong> the<br />
campus proper we earnestly point<br />
out the need for repairs in Matoaka<br />
Park.<br />
Did you ever notice pr<strong>of</strong>essors? <strong>The</strong>y are the<br />
deciding factor. <strong>The</strong> courses we take don't flunk<br />
us . . . the pr<strong>of</strong>essors do. Pr<strong>of</strong>essors h<strong>and</strong> out<br />
grades. . Pr<strong>of</strong>essors can pass us. Pr<strong>of</strong>essors can<br />
refuse to pass us. Pr<strong>of</strong>essors are human beings.<br />
Most <strong>of</strong> them.<br />
Why bother with the courses a pr<strong>of</strong>essor teaches?<br />
If he's the one you must pass, study him rather than<br />
the text. Do your research on him. Find out what<br />
his likes <strong>and</strong> dislikes are. <strong>The</strong>n give a first class<br />
snow job.<br />
A snow job is apple polishing that grew up. It's<br />
a mass production job. Everything the pr<strong>of</strong> likes,<br />
you like. If he makes a statement he considers<br />
funny, you die laughing. If he hates something,<br />
you bare your teeth <strong>and</strong> snarl when he mentions it.<br />
If he feels sorry for someone, you weep <strong>and</strong> sob,<br />
filling your h<strong>and</strong>kerchief with copious floods <strong>of</strong><br />
tears.<br />
You sit in the first row, pen in h<strong>and</strong>, notebook<br />
opened <strong>and</strong> hang on each word he utters. Hang<br />
by one h<strong>and</strong> so that you don't drop your pen. If<br />
he likes legs, wear shorts. If he doesn't like legs,<br />
leave your outside.<br />
If he likes Jane (Did you notice my face?) Russell,<br />
you can underst<strong>and</strong>. If he likes~ sweaters,<br />
wear a tight one. If he likes ties, wear. several.<br />
If it's an early morning class, bring bromo-seltzer.<br />
If it's an afternoon class, bring some soda <strong>and</strong>. If<br />
he's a Southerner, you're a democrat. If he's a<br />
Northerner, you came south to college because <strong>of</strong><br />
the climate. If he smokes, leave<br />
cartons, not apples, on his desk.<br />
In other words, give him what<br />
he likes.<br />
<strong>The</strong>re's only one catch. Some<br />
<strong>of</strong> them like their subjects. It's<br />
tough in a case like that. It means<br />
that you might have_ to know the<br />
subject! ~<br />

To the editor:<br />
I wish to announce the formation<br />
<strong>of</strong> the Junior Yo-Yo Commission<br />
<strong>of</strong> the World. <strong>The</strong> organization's<br />
aims will be to form Yo-Yo<br />

the world. I visualize the day<br />
when a group from <strong>William</strong> <strong>and</strong><br />
<strong>Mary</strong> will travel to Mexico, Venuzuela,<br />

are integral to us all.<br />

Norfolk Editors Object<br />
To Jackson's Proposal<br />
Pr<strong>of</strong>essor Advocates<br />
Pidgin English<br />
For World<br />
Editorials in two Norfolk papers,<br />
the Virginian-Pilot <strong>and</strong> the Ledger<br />
Dispatch, took-issue with Dr. Jess<br />
Hamilton Jackson, head <strong>of</strong> the<br />
<strong>William</strong> <strong>and</strong> <strong>Mary</strong> English department,<br />
concerning his speech at the<br />
Norfolk Woman's Club, March 12.<br />
In his talk, Dr. Jackson advocated<br />
Pidgin English as opposed to basic<br />
English for an international language.<br />
Both editorials objected to Dr.<br />
Jackson's making sport <strong>of</strong> basic<br />
English by twisting it to fit various<br />
passages from literature. Dr.<br />
Jackson sought to prove that basic<br />
English, English simplified by the<br />
disposal <strong>of</strong> confusing <strong>and</strong> duplicating<br />
words, could not make a<br />
living language. <strong>The</strong>re could be<br />
no literature without translation,<br />
<strong>and</strong> in translation literature would<br />
lose its flavor he said.<br />
Shakespeare's "Hark, hark, the<br />
lark" would be translated in basic<br />
English: "Listen, listen, the small<br />
song bird at the doorway <strong>of</strong> God's<br />
living place makes a whistling<br />
sound on a high note. Phoebus<br />
makes a start at getting up, to<br />
give water to his horses at those<br />
waters coming up from the earth<br />
that have the body stretched out<br />
parallel with the earth, <strong>and</strong> Maybuds,<br />
getting their eyes open <strong>and</strong><br />
shut, quickly make a start at getting<br />
their golden eyes open.<br />
"With everything that is good<br />
looking in a s<strong>of</strong>t way, my sweet<br />
respected woman, get up."<br />
Dr! Jackson's suggestion <strong>of</strong> Pidgin<br />
English for an international<br />
language the Virginian-Pilot ridiculed<br />
by requesting its translation<br />
<strong>of</strong> "Hark, Hark." Since Pidgin<br />
junks the rules <strong>of</strong> grammar, Dr.<br />
Jackson's argument against basic<br />
English would backfire, suggests<br />
the Virginian-Pilot.<br />
On the other h<strong>and</strong>, the Ledger-<br />
Dispatch sided with Dr. Jackson's<br />
suggestion although not for "Hark,<br />
hark, the lark". But, it defends<br />
basic English as an international<br />
language, arguing that it is "a<br />
h<strong>and</strong>y tool for simple communication,<br />
or nothing at all."<br />

Works With Figures<br />
Monie Price, business manager <strong>of</strong> the FLAT HAT, is from Portsmouth,<br />
Va., <strong>and</strong>, so she claims, she heard a lot about <strong>William</strong> <strong>and</strong> <strong>Mary</strong> before<br />
coming here. "I looked forward to dancing at finals to the music <strong>of</strong><br />
Glenn Miller or Vaughan Monroe. So what happened? <strong>The</strong>re haven't<br />
been finals since I came".<br />
Monie took music <strong>and</strong> voice for years so she was constantly taking<br />
part in recitals during high school. But her senior year was spent<br />
mostly in working on the yearbook<br />
since she was the associate editor.<br />
In her spare time Monie took part<br />
in plays, won her intramural letter,<br />
joined the Monogram Club,<br />
<strong>and</strong> became a honor student. Living<br />
so close to the beach, Monie<br />
says she used to go on a lot <strong>of</strong><br />
beach parties too.<br />
Since she's been at <strong>William</strong> <strong>and</strong><br />
<strong>Mary</strong>, Monie has been a member<br />
<strong>of</strong> Chorus, the Spanish Club, German<br />
Club, YWCA, Choir, Interclub<br />
Council, class editor <strong>of</strong> the<br />
Colonial Echo, treasurer <strong>of</strong> Alpha<br />
Chi Omega, <strong>and</strong> president <strong>of</strong> the<br />
Accounting Club.<br />
Monie is the student assistant in<br />
the accounting department <strong>and</strong> so<br />
a lot <strong>of</strong> her time is spent correcting<br />
papers <strong>and</strong> helping in the lab. In<br />
the summers Monie has worked as<br />
a clerk in the Norfolk Navy Yard,<br />
as a secretary in Richmond, <strong>and</strong> as<br />
a <strong>William</strong>sburg restoration employee.<br />
"My hobby is dancing," Monie<br />
said explaining that she learned<br />
to jitterbug when she was a high<br />
school freshman. Monie loves any<br />
kind <strong>of</strong> music but claims she hates<br />

Bot-E-Talk<br />
People aren't so steady on their<br />
feet. What Botty means is that<br />
the women haven't decided their<br />
plans <strong>of</strong> , attack for the ensuing<br />
spring due to the interruption <strong>of</strong><br />
vacation. Final dances are going<br />
to be the biggest thing <strong>of</strong> the year<br />
<strong>and</strong> it takes long term planning to<br />
'snag a date. <strong>The</strong>n too, many men<br />
saw the "girl back home" <strong>and</strong> have<br />
lost interest in their present campus<br />
projects. Botty agrees that<br />
things are all fouled up <strong>and</strong> that<br />
something or someone must get<br />
organized.<br />

audience.<br />
Miss Hunt stated that the purpose<br />
<strong>of</strong> the program is to give directors<br />
<strong>and</strong> players experience in<br />
the styles -<strong>of</strong> different playwrites<br />

audience a glimpse <strong>of</strong> varied<br />
methods <strong>of</strong> the "same old proposal",<br />
stated Miss Hunt.<br />

In Tight Ball Game, 2-1<br />
Jim Stewart Goes Route, Allowing<br />
Five Hits While Striking Out Seven<br />
Scoring their two runs in the fifth inning, the Big Green baseballers<br />
eked out a 2-1 decision over the R<strong>and</strong>olph-Macon Yellow Jackets on<br />
Saturday, April 6.<br />
Jimmy Stewart started the game <strong>and</strong> went all the way to become<br />
the first Indian pitcher to go nine innings. He gave five safeties, all<br />
<strong>of</strong> them singles, struck out seven, <strong>and</strong> walked three during his stint<br />
on the mound.<br />
<strong>The</strong> Jackets got their only run in the initial inning when Flippen,<br />
lead<strong>of</strong>f man, singled to left field,<br />
<strong>and</strong> took second on an error by<br />
Stan Magdziak. AIJ infield out<br />
advanced the runner to third, <strong>and</strong><br />
he came in on a fielder's choice.<br />
<strong>The</strong> Redmen's rims came in the<br />
fifth when Lane Phillips, first man<br />
up, took four consecutive balls <strong>and</strong><br />
went to first. After a sacrifice by<br />
Stewart, which sent Phillips all<br />
the way to third, Tommy Korczowski<br />
received a base on balls<br />
<strong>and</strong> stole second. Jack Netcher<br />
stepped up <strong>and</strong> slashed a single<br />
into left field, both runners scoring<br />
on the blow.<br />
By this time Stewart was tying<br />
up Jacket batters. He allowed two<br />
runners to reach third, but bore<br />
down to get the losers out. vHe<br />
set the side down in order in four<br />
frames, retiring six men in the<br />
eighth <strong>and</strong> ninth innings.<br />
Tommy Korczowski made the<br />
only extra base hit <strong>of</strong> the game<br />
when he doubled in the top half <strong>of</strong><br />
the ninth . . He went three for four<br />
for the day's work .... <strong>The</strong> first<br />
three men in the eighth forHhelndians<br />
reached first on infield hits.<br />
Hubbard laid down a neat bunt in<br />
that inning <strong>and</strong> beat it out before<br />
the ball was on its way to first . .<br />
Four <strong>of</strong> the Redmen's eleven hits<br />
came in the first <strong>and</strong> second, but<br />
the runners were left str<strong>and</strong>ed as<br />
teh side went out.<br />

Lamed, Bartzen Lead Tribe<br />
To 8-1 Rout Of Kalamazoo<br />
After deciding the engagement<br />
by making a clean sweep in singles<br />
play, the Indians added a pair <strong>of</strong><br />
doubles triumphs for good measure<br />
as they swamped a weak<br />
Kalamazoo <strong>College</strong> squad by an<br />
8-1 count to open the 1946 tennis<br />
season.<br />
Each match was won in straight<br />
sets <strong>and</strong> none was close enough to<br />
make it necessary to take more<br />
than six games in any set. Rapid<br />
action was the order <strong>of</strong> the day<br />
as Coach Umbeck's charges romped<br />
to victory in less than two<br />
hours <strong>of</strong> competition despite intermittant<br />
heavy winds which made<br />
play extremely difficult.<br />
•Gardner Larned, playing number<br />
1, drew first blood for the<br />
home forces as he came from be<br />
hind in each set to defeat Eric<br />
Pratt, 6-4, 6-4. <strong>The</strong> Hornet ace<br />
held leads <strong>of</strong> 2-0 <strong>and</strong> 4-3 in the<br />
opening round only to see Lamed<br />
win the eighth game, which was<br />
deuced, <strong>and</strong> take the next two<br />
with a loss <strong>of</strong> only a single point<br />
in each.<br />
Tut Bartzen, the Tribe's terrific<br />
Texan, made his usual fine<br />
showing as he disposed <strong>of</strong> Nick<br />
Beresky in love sets .adding to the<br />
laurels which he collected as he<br />
led last year's squad.<br />
<strong>The</strong> other Indian stars performed<br />
well also. Bren Macken, Bob<br />
Doll, <strong>and</strong> Bob Galloway disposed<br />
<strong>of</strong> their foes in short order. Captain<br />
Bert Ranee was the only one<br />
to be slightly extended as he<br />
chalked up a 6-4„ 6-4- win.<br />
Bartzen <strong>and</strong> Larned combined<br />
to breeze through the number 1<br />
doubles with very little effort,<br />
winning by 6-0 <strong>and</strong> 6-3 over Pratt<br />
<strong>and</strong> John Thompson. In the initial<br />
set they displayed complete mastery<br />
as their opponents could gain<br />
but seven points. After accounting<br />
for the first three games <strong>of</strong><br />
the second set they coasted to a<br />
6-3 advantage.<br />
Bren <strong>and</strong> Jim Macken teamed<br />
up to make quick work <strong>of</strong> Beresky<br />
<strong>and</strong> Bob Stowe, 6-2, 6-0, completing<br />
the day's victories. <strong>The</strong> sole<br />
setback the Redmen suffered came<br />
when Ranee <strong>and</strong> George Miller,<br />
nlaying number 3 doubles, bowed<br />
to Art Leighton <strong>and</strong> Don Staake,<br />
6-2, 6-2.<br />

Indians Whip<br />
Annex Twice<br />
With Captain Les Hooker leading<br />
at bat, the <strong>William</strong> <strong>and</strong> <strong>Mary</strong><br />
Indians started their first baseball<br />
season in three years wih two wins<br />
over the Cheatham Annex Marines.<br />
Hooker got a total <strong>of</strong> three hits<br />
out <strong>of</strong> four at bats in both games<br />
as the Redmen swamped trie visitors<br />
16-4 <strong>and</strong> 19-1, on March 28<br />
<strong>and</strong> April 4, respectively. Gill<br />
<strong>and</strong> Stewart pitched the first<br />
game, with Gill getting the credit<br />
for the win. Three pitchers combined<br />
their efforts in the second,<br />
Barnhardt stayed in long enough<br />
to- get credit for a victory.<br />
<strong>The</strong> Marines took the lead in<br />
the first inning <strong>of</strong> the first game,<br />
scoring a run on a walk, two errors<br />
<strong>and</strong> an • out. <strong>The</strong> Tri-Color<br />
came back with two in the last<br />
half <strong>of</strong> the frame, <strong>and</strong> were never<br />
headed thereafter. <strong>The</strong>y rammed<br />
home four runs in the fourth<br />
to ice the game.<br />
<strong>The</strong> second game was a little<br />
closer for the first three innings,<br />
the locals leading 1-0. <strong>The</strong> third<br />
frame, however, saw the Big<br />
Green push eight runs across the<br />
plate <strong>of</strong>f Marine pitcher Adams.<br />
<strong>The</strong> inning was topped by a home<br />
run deep in left field by second<br />
baseman Isaacs, who drove in a<br />
man ahead <strong>of</strong> him.<br />
<strong>The</strong> lone tally by the Marines<br />
was scored in the fourth when<br />
Skinner hit a triple <strong>and</strong> came in<br />
on an infield out. <strong>The</strong> winners<br />
continued their pounding, scoring<br />
ten more runs, five <strong>of</strong> them<br />
coming in the seventh.<br />

Tri-Color Net Squad<br />
Takes First RoadTrip<br />
Redmen Varsity Faces Duke,<br />
North Carolina <strong>and</strong> IN. C. State<br />
By ED GRIFFIN<br />
Having ridden roughshod over an impotent squad from Kalamazoo<br />
<strong>College</strong> in the opening match <strong>of</strong> the season, <strong>William</strong> <strong>and</strong> <strong>Mary</strong>'s tennis<br />
team starts tomorrow on their first road trip during which they will<br />
face a trio <strong>of</strong> Southern conference opponents, N. C. State, North Carolina,<br />
<strong>and</strong> Duke. <strong>The</strong> contests are slated for Thursday, Friday, <strong>and</strong><br />
Saturday, respectively.<br />
North Carolina will ptobably furnish the Indians with their toughest<br />
competition <strong>of</strong> the week end. Coach John Kenfield, one <strong>of</strong> the country's<br />
most outst<strong>and</strong>ing coaches, has turned but some excellent players<br />
during his long tenure at Chapel<br />
Cinder Squad<br />
Speeds Drills<br />
With the first meet <strong>of</strong> the season<br />
only a week away, the <strong>William</strong><br />
<strong>and</strong> <strong>Mary</strong> track team is hard<br />
at work trying to round into shape.<br />
Over thirty boys have now signed<br />
up <strong>and</strong> Coach Dick Gallagher<br />
has had them warming up despite<br />
the varying temperatures. Helping<br />
him is Doc Holloway, who is giving<br />
some pointers to the men out<br />
for the field events.<br />
Gallagher has very few experienced<br />
men to call upon <strong>and</strong> will"<br />
rely on freshmen <strong>and</strong> several football<br />
players. Among the veterans<br />
are Phil Thomas, Bill Lugar, <strong>and</strong><br />
Dudley Woods, who have returned<br />
from the service. Woods is a long<br />
distance man.<br />
For the hurdles Coach Gallagher<br />
will have Tex Mengel, Don Sudkamp,<br />
<strong>and</strong> Frank Deierhoi. Harrison<br />
Tyler will be entered in the<br />
middle distance events.<br />
In field events there will be<br />
several entries, among them Phil<br />
Thomas, who has been working<br />
out with the javelin <strong>and</strong> discus.<br />
Harry Wenning'has come out recently<br />
to help on the javelin.<br />
Hill <strong>and</strong> can be counted upon to<br />
make the best possible use <strong>of</strong> his<br />
material. Tarheel prospects, which<br />
were promising, have been substantially<br />
brightened by the addition-<br />
<strong>of</strong> several promising newcomers.<br />
Carolina played Iiost to<br />
Kalamazoo last week <strong>and</strong> administered<br />
a 7-2 trimming to the Hornets.<br />
,<br />
Bob Cox, Duke mentor, has let<br />
it be known that he expects few<br />
victories for his Blue Devils <strong>and</strong><br />
there would seem to be good cause<br />
for his depression. He has not a<br />
single letterman on his squad <strong>and</strong><br />
five <strong>of</strong> his eight starters are freshmen.<br />
With an almost complete<br />
lack <strong>of</strong> talent, he must face the<br />
toughest court slate in Duke history,<br />
one which includes Navy,<br />
Georgia Tech, <strong>and</strong> North Carolina.<br />
None <strong>of</strong> his doubles teams have<br />
ever played together before this<br />
spring <strong>and</strong> cannot, at the present,<br />
add much to the strength <strong>of</strong> the<br />
Blue Devils. In their initial<br />
match <strong>of</strong> the season they bowed to<br />
Kalamazoo by an 8-1 count.<br />
Not much is known about N. C.<br />
State except their previous performances.<br />
Usually they field a<br />
somewhat better than average<br />
team, ranking behind North Caro-<br />
I lina in Conference competition.<br />
Betty Coumbe, Varsity Netter,<br />
Initiated Career When Four<br />
While some babies are born<br />
with silver spoons in their mouths,<br />
coed netter Betty Coumbe entered<br />
the world with a tennis racquet<br />
in her h<strong>and</strong>s.<br />
"Goombie", as the net star is<br />
affectionately called, began her<br />
tennis career at the age <strong>of</strong> four<br />
during the rest period <strong>of</strong> a New<br />
Jersey Men's Tournament. Her<br />
father, an avid tennis player, took<br />
her on the court to amuse the<br />
crowd. <strong>The</strong> attempt was successful<br />
<strong>and</strong> for the first time, Betty<br />
made an audience sit up <strong>and</strong> take<br />
notice <strong>of</strong> her. According to her,<br />
the only reason anyone paid any<br />
attention was "because he racquet<br />
was bigger than I."<br />
By BETTY BORENSTEIN<br />
When she was eleven years old,<br />
Betty entered her first tennis tournament,<br />
the Westfield Schools'<br />
Tennis Tournament 'in her home<br />
town in New Jersey. She got as'<br />
far as the semi-finals when she<br />
met defeat at the h<strong>and</strong>s <strong>of</strong> the girl<br />
who eventually copped the title.<br />
Three years later, • "Goombie"<br />
came back <strong>and</strong> captured that tournament,<br />
in addition to which she<br />
also annexed the championship <strong>of</strong><br />
the Montclair Invitation Junior<br />
Girls'Tournament.<br />
<strong>The</strong> Westfield lass has been extremely<br />
active in summer tournaments<br />
for the past five years.<br />
Most outst<strong>and</strong>ing <strong>of</strong> these matches<br />
were the National Junior <strong>and</strong> the<br />
National Doubles contests, in<br />
which she participated from 1941<br />
through 1944. Never getting fur<br />
ther than the quarter-finals, Betty<br />
met such keen competition as<br />
Doris Hart <strong>and</strong> Louise Brough,<br />
both <strong>of</strong> whom are present members<br />
<strong>of</strong> the Wightman Cup Squad,<br />
<strong>and</strong> Pauline Betz, who has held<br />
the number one rank in the country<br />
for several yetfrs.<br />
"Goombie" has had her share <strong>of</strong><br />
tennis honors in her comparatively<br />
brief career. At 14, she was on<br />
the Junior Wightman Cup Squad,<br />
when she received coaching from<br />
such tennis notables as Elwood<br />
Cooke <strong>and</strong> Modesta "Mud" Alloo.<br />
A year ago, the <strong>William</strong> <strong>and</strong> <strong>Mary</strong><br />
coed was ranked third in singles<br />
<strong>and</strong> first in doubles among the<br />
Eastern Juniors. In the same year<br />
she held the fifth ranking position<br />
in the national doubles.<br />
Although she enjoys playing<br />
singles, Betty is especially partial<br />
to doubles matches. She feels<br />
"there's more to the game in teamwork,<br />
he fact that you're not all<br />
out for yourself, <strong>and</strong>," she adds,<br />
saving the most important reason<br />
for last, "there's only half a court<br />
to cover."<br />
Tennis, however, is not her only<br />
love. She enjoys many sports,<br />
particularly skiing <strong>and</strong> ice skating.<br />
At college, she has shown her<br />
strength in basketball intramurals,<br />
placing third among the top coed<br />
scorers for the season. And<br />
around February <strong>and</strong> March,<br />
"Goombie!' can be seen with a<br />
smaller racquet in her h<strong>and</strong> creating<br />
havoc on the badminton<br />
courts.

Library Receives 5 Additions<br />
To Collection Of Manuscripts<br />
<strong>The</strong> college library recently re<<br />
ceived five additions to its manuscript<br />
collection from Charles N.<br />
Schmall <strong>of</strong> New York. <strong>The</strong> most<br />
interesting <strong>of</strong> these is a letter<br />
which <strong>William</strong> Lee, <strong>of</strong> Virginia,<br />
wrote from London to Robert Carter<br />
Nicholas, then Treasurer <strong>of</strong><br />
Virginia, on April 23, 1772. <strong>The</strong><br />
letter mentions Lee's property in<br />
<strong>William</strong>sburg, the value set upon<br />
learning by Virginians, <strong>and</strong> the<br />
ordination <strong>of</strong> <strong>William</strong> Leigh, who<br />
had returned to Virginia <strong>and</strong> had<br />
become a prominent Minister in<br />
the Episcopal Church. Both Leigh<br />
<strong>and</strong> his son, Senator Benjamin<br />
Watkins Leigh, were alumni <strong>of</strong> the<br />
<strong>College</strong> <strong>of</strong> <strong>William</strong> <strong>and</strong> <strong>Mary</strong>.<br />
<strong>William</strong> Lee, the author <strong>of</strong> the<br />
letter, was born in Virginia, a<br />
member <strong>of</strong> the Stratford Lee family,<br />
<strong>and</strong> brother <strong>of</strong> Richard Henry<br />
Lee, <strong>and</strong> Arthur Lee, both <strong>of</strong><br />
whom were very prominent in upholding<br />
the cause <strong>of</strong> American independence.<br />
In 1768, <strong>William</strong> Lee<br />
accompanied his brother, Arthur,<br />
to London to engage in mercantile<br />
pursuits. <strong>The</strong>re, in 1769, he married<br />
Hannah Philipa Ludwell, <strong>and</strong><br />
through this marriage he ""inherited<br />
Green Spring, a part <strong>of</strong> the<br />
Ludwell Estate, which lies on the<br />
old road between <strong>William</strong>sburg<br />

<strong>and</strong> Jamestown.<br />
<strong>William</strong> Lee did not devote himself<br />
exclusively to business; he<br />
also entered politics <strong>and</strong> won the<br />
high distinction <strong>of</strong> being elected<br />
a sheriff <strong>of</strong> London. Later, he<br />
was chosen an Alderman, the only<br />
American to ever hold that position.<br />
Upon the outbreak <strong>of</strong> the<br />
Revolution, <strong>William</strong> Lee sympathized<br />
with <strong>and</strong> aided his native<br />
country. He was appointed to<br />
diplomatic missions by the Continental<br />
Congress.<br />
This letter, <strong>of</strong> 1772 mentions<br />
Lee's Virginia property, where<br />
he planned to begin silk <strong>and</strong> olive<br />
culture. It was this property to<br />
which he retired in ,1783. He died<br />
on his Green Spring Estate in<br />
1795.<br />

A college isn't a college without<br />
students <strong>and</strong> the students aren't<br />
students without pr<strong>of</strong>essors. <strong>The</strong>re<br />
are pr<strong>of</strong>essors <strong>and</strong> then there are<br />
pr<strong>of</strong>essors, but it is agreed that<br />
there are approximately six singular<br />

<strong>of</strong> the Europeans because<br />
he visited the continent for six<br />
months, <strong>and</strong> is writing a book on<br />
the political, economic, religious,<br />
theoretical, <strong>and</strong> social life <strong>of</strong> the<br />
disappearing Tasmanian. He likes<br />
students but finds it difficult to<br />
put his ideas across, except in<br />
syllable words.<br />
Jolly Joe is loved by all the<br />
students. He never takes the roll,<br />
never assigns term papers, realizes<br />
that students have other classes,<br />
gives no mid-terms, <strong>and</strong> gives the<br />
majority <strong>of</strong> the class a D as final<br />
grade. Everyone loves his courses<br />
but they pay.<br />

Morris who lectures the entire<br />

by a lucky few who have had<br />

His consultation hours are filled<br />
with appointments with worshiping<br />
co-eds <strong>and</strong> young men wanting<br />
man-to-man talks. His lectures<br />
are purely theory <strong>and</strong> his<br />
tests are fair. He believes at least<br />

Quiet Clarence creeps into class<br />
<strong>and</strong> meekly begins to lecture. He<br />
assigns six chapters daily <strong>and</strong> pops<br />
quizzes <strong>of</strong>ten. Despite double<br />
pneumonia <strong>and</strong> a blizzard, he arrives<br />
at class on time. His name<br />
appears in large print on the title<br />
page <strong>of</strong> the course's text. His<br />
jokes are miserable <strong>and</strong> he repeats<br />
them week after week. He disregards<br />

his desk during an exam <strong>and</strong> tapping<br />
a steel pencil against the iron<br />
drawer h<strong>and</strong>le.<br />
<strong>The</strong> last <strong>of</strong> the pr<strong>of</strong>essor parade<br />
is Pessimistic Pete. He is an authority<br />
on everything <strong>and</strong> never<br />
wrong. Anyone who disagrees<br />
with his politics or statements<br />
immediately flunks. He, too, assigns<br />
books by the gross <strong>and</strong> requires<br />
detailed footnotes on term<br />
papers. Cutting his class is recognized<br />
as a personal insult. He predicts<br />
the results <strong>of</strong> wars, political<br />
campaigns, the weather, <strong>and</strong> rushing.<br />
He is usually right, much to<br />
the disgust <strong>of</strong> his students.<br />
Strangely enough, something is<br />
learned by taking his classes.<br />

MASTER CLEANERS<br />
As Student Gains Flying Skill<br />
By FLETCHER COX<br />
From a mood <strong>of</strong> rosy optimism after my first flight lesson, to a mood<br />
<strong>of</strong> deep depression after my second, I have finally reached that<br />
happy mid-way point in which I am very unhappy with present<br />
accomplishrnents, but can definitely see improvements in the future.<br />
Contrary to my earlier predictions, I have made definite strides in<br />
the mastery <strong>of</strong> flight.<br />
Flying lessons for the. past two weeks have encompassed many new<br />
tricks <strong>of</strong> the trade, by no means<br />
the least difficult <strong>of</strong> which is the<br />
steep turn. While the plane is in<br />
a steep turn, it has a tendency to<br />
make the turn steeper by falling<br />
<strong>of</strong>f on the downward wing. All <strong>of</strong><br />
this has to be corrected, <strong>and</strong>, with<br />
things happening at such a great<br />
rate, <strong>and</strong> the l<strong>and</strong>scape flying by<br />
at such terrific pace, the student<br />
pilot has his h<strong>and</strong>s full. If the<br />
nose isn't dropping below the<br />
horizon, the wing is falling lower<br />
than it should. If the downward<br />
wing is at the precise angle , it<br />
should be, then the R.P.M.'s <strong>of</strong><br />
the engine have dropped below<br />
cruising speed. Should I make a<br />
supreme effort <strong>and</strong> have everything<br />
as it should be, I then have<br />
to scan the sky for- approaching<br />
aircraft, <strong>and</strong> keep one eye on my<br />
reference point on the ground—<br />
while doing this <strong>and</strong> directing my<br />
attention to other fields, the wing<br />
has again dropped, the nose has<br />
come up, or the engine's speed<br />
has dropped again.<br />
Coordination is the key-note <strong>of</strong><br />
flight. Consequently, there has<br />
been an exercise developed to<br />
bring a prospective pilot's coordination<br />
to a fine point <strong>of</strong> accomplishment.<br />
In this exercise, the<br />
nose <strong>of</strong> the plant must be held on<br />
one point on the horizon, <strong>and</strong> the<br />
plane rolled to the right <strong>and</strong> to the<br />
left. When my instructor, Mr.<br />
Diggs, rolls the plane, it behaves<br />
beautifully. When I take over, the<br />
resultant gyrations <strong>and</strong> convulsions<br />
could be construed as flying<br />
only by myseif, <strong>and</strong> that with the<br />
greatest difficulty. After a halfhour<br />
<strong>of</strong> these miserable attempts,<br />
it amazes me to find that I still<br />
have enough coordination to put a<br />
cigarette in my mouth <strong>and</strong> h'ght it.<br />
