A resolution urging all students
not to send flowers to dates for
any of the dances during Fancy
Dress weekend was unanimously
passed by the Dance Board at a
special meeting Tuesday afternoon in a step aimed at cutting
down the non-essential expenses
of the dance.
"We did not feel that an arbitrary action abolishing flowers
was desirable or necessary at this
tlme," John Goode, secretary of
the board said. "It 1s hoped that
the students wtll realize that th is
resolution was passed In an effort
to help them, and we are counting
on their wholehearted co-operation."
"In vlew of the recent serious
turn of national a1Jalrs and the
tremendous tax program necessary to finance the victory effort,
It is believed that all students
wUl be willing to forego flowers.
and their dates also, as an indication of their willingness to aid
their parents and their country."
Letters have been sent to all
florists and student agents asking
their co-operation also by not
pushing the sale of corsages. This
item alone often makes the cost
or attending the mid-winter set
prohibitive to many students, and
It ls expected that the voluntary
abolition of flowers by the students will enable many more students to attend and enjoy the
dances. The ruling applies only to
Fancy Dress.
Students who ordinarily would
send flowers are asked to fall ln
llne In order not to embarass those
who are unable financially to buY
flowers or who. deslrtng to cooperate with the majority of the
student body, divert this expenditure to something more necessary
at this time.
The eight members of the Dance
Board were asked to Introduce
resolutions ln their respective
fraternity houses barrlng flowers
at dances. and It ls thought by
Dodo Baldwin, president of the
board, that all the houses will see
the expediency of Lhls mo\re and
take such action.
Sigma Nu will substitute defense stamps for flowers, and other
houses have vetoed corsages.

Don't Say It With Flowers
The Dance Board, after toying with the
idea of substituting an inexpensive ..token
flower" for corsages during the Fancy Dress
Dance Set as a means of raising money for
some patriotic purpose while enabling stu·
dents to cut down on their individual expenditures, has decided that a mild "please don' t
say it with flowers" appeal is as far as it can go.
The appeal, directed at flower merchants
and at the students who are in the habit of
writing out a sizeable check for corsages every
time a dance set comes around, is being criti·
cized as a timid approach to the situation by
those who think that the Board has passed up
a golden opportunity.
But the Board would have been open to
considerable criticism from oher sources-and
perhaps from the same sources-had it decided to ban corsages from Doremus Gym·
nasium during Fancy Dress. "The principle
of the thing"-of a student's being told that
he cannot spend money for flowers-would
have come to the fore had the Board taken
some arbitrary action.
There is still opporruniry for action which
will accomplish a two or three-fold purpose.
That opportunity lies in attention ro the
Dance Board's appeal.
Florists and their agents cannot be counted
upon to "cease and desist" merely because
they have been a.sked to do so. Directing an
appeal at them is like asking a mosquito to
starve to death because his b iting annoys
people.
We will have to provide our own solution .
Th ree or four fraternities h ave already d ecided
to send no flowers, and others will discuss the
matter within the next few days. An attem pt
to bring fraternities into agreemen t on the
th ing was made last year, but without success.
This year, however, there is real basis fo r
such action. We have been told, and we realize,
that economy is vital to the success of A merica's war effort. What a chance the abolition
of corsages presents for personal economy!
If economy in itself docs not seem to be
sufficien t as a contribution to the day's needs,
then the possibility of buying Defense Stamps
or Bonds with mon ey ordinarily tagged fo r
the flower sellers can be considered.
T he Ring-tum Phi, in its Fancy D ress "souvenir issue," will help explain the lack of flow·
a foretgn policy group was sponsormg for
college students throughout the nation . The
boys who pay any attention to such an·
nouncements are few, but three ambitious
W&L studen ts got together with a g roup of
equa lly-ambitious faculty members, submitted
an entry, and won the contest.
Tonigh t, appearing elsewhere in the Rin g·
tum Phi, is a story concerning two m ore con·
rests- these for college men who are inter·
ested in debating and the discussion of cur·
rent affairs.
One, a national intercollegiate radio debate
elimination, features an appearance on a na·
rion-wide radio hookup and first prize money
of a thousand dollars. The other, a discussion
contest, offers a trip to South America to successful entrants.
The chances are that few boys wUl pay at·
tention to either of these announcemen ts.
Some will say, "Boy, it'd be nice to win one of
those prizes!" but will go no further because
they figure they don' t have a chance of winning.
It is to be hoped, however, that there are
a few who, like the writers of Last year's prize·
winning essay, are of the we·won't·say-that-itcan't-be-done-'til-we've-tried type. Professor
Jackson, of the English Department, and Professor Latture, of the Political Science Depart·
ment, are looking for a few of these boys.
The Universiry is anxious to have represent·
atives in these contests because of the pres·
tige which comes with victory. The entrants
themselves don't h ave to be satisfied with the
prestige angles-the prizes are worth work·
ing for. Bur you can't win a thousand doLlars
or a trip to South America by saying, " It can't
be done."

UNIVERSITY CLEANERS
Setting the Pace
Setting a pace in patriotism and loyalty to
our school which we would all do well to fol low, the members of the University faculry
have, without any fanfare whatsoever, stared
rhat they will offer their services during the
summer sessions without any additional com·
pensation for the duration of the emergen cy.
Such an unselfish move on the part of these
men, who are by no means overpaid, such an
expressed desire to d o everything within their
ability to help us speed up work toward a degree and to help Washington and Lee weather
the financial storm that l.ies ahead, could
hardly go unhailed.
The action of these gentlemen is a challenge
and at the same rime an expression of faith
in the students' sincere desire to get the m ost
out of our work while we are privil eged to remain here. It is a challenge which , if we are
men, can have bur one reply . . . a pledge to
work, to be loyal to our school, to p ractice
economy and to do all in our power, as they
are doing, to ins ure the future security and
strength of th is A merica of ours.

the Generals followed their cus· tom of pulling the game out of
the fire In the closing moments
last night as they notched their
third "Big Six" victory of the
campaign and their second in a
row over the Gobblers.
With the score knotted at 25
apiece, and about a minute and a
hal! of playing time left, Ballenger was fouled attempting to shoot
by Walt Schneider, VPI center.
Ballenger dropped his fu·st free
throw right through the Iron
doughnut, missed his second. but
captured the rebound, and then
sent the ball swishing through for
the points that more than assured
· a General win.
The game started out rather
slowly with the Blue five holding
a 12-9 advantage over the Techmen a-t half-time. However, the
home team, paced by Captain
Buddy Henderson, came back to
deadlock the count at 20-20 halfway through the last period. The
score was very close from this
point until Ballenger sunk his
game-winning goals.
