WASHINGTON AND LEE UNIVERSITY FINALS 1922 Price 25 €«■!■ Annual Eleven Club Meeting (Report by Pal , CAmptls The annual business meeting of ihe Eleven Club was called for the purpose of discussing flections. This club, composed of the eleven (or twelve) best men in school has as its chief function the determining of who will be student body offi- cers for the coming year. President Toad Snively opened the meeting with a brief review of the success in the past and a glowing prospectus of its bright future, snd called for nominations for President of the Eleven Club as the most important office on the campu» in its far-reaching effects. Ward Elliott was nominated, but promptly came to hia feet protest and modestly lought t withdraw, saying he would for President of the Studenk Body or President of Finals but was confident that he lacke the ability and personality essary for President of Eleven Club. After tweW concerted requests. Ward Jake Greiner then moveti adjournment, but John Docker f promised to show them a n dance step, so the motion adjournment failed. Passing to applications for new m( bers. the name of Freddy Fail cloth { Bub ) was presente . Ward Elliott, on behalf of t e Kappa Sigma fraternity, malt- ed that Bub ' s name be witU- drawD. as he feared election to such an excluaive club might gp to Bub ' s head and ruin a faiily good Kappa Sigma. T e principal bustneas of thp evening then confronted thfe club, that of selecting the prop- er candidates for atudent body offices. BUI Lynn suggested paaaing by the job of President of the Student Body and letting Sigma run Doc Holbrook. as this would eliminate him from other competition. Jake Greiner then nominated prein er for Vice-President of thie Student Body, but it was decid- e i to give this raspberry to Bot Carr, and Jake was some- what appeased by being prom- ised the position of President of .0. — - ' — ' —» THE - FEELERS CLUB «chn (Ur •■HifhfT.bUr Burka ■■LowrrabUr CoftMtt ■■ABy-old-pl«e WhUlU ■Sofar Uotbr Pratty Blua Eyaa larrj •TwrAla fiUar .

' Reform Politics a Howling Success kime of the CandiiUtea Arc StiU Howling On the eventful day of May )9th, the Great Experiment was :iven a complete trial and ita esults have justified all that .as said for it as well as a lot hat no one dared to say. Out f the hopeless muddle which ttended this change, the fol- lowing has been gleaned. The first political battle of he year was waged within the liques. George Hepburn, lead- r of his party, showed early igna of having lost the reins nd proved unable to still the seething emotions which con- flicted within his organization. Several of his clubs turned wobbly and seeing disaster ahead, the ward bosses got to- gether and hatched up a non- icking agreement, which on the surface all that its GOD SAVE THE ' FRIDAY— At last, after a strenuous week of leave taking, in mid-Atlantic. The first two days out accompanied by much perturbation and many upheav- ' als. Still somewhat puzzled as to why we are to present a statue of George Washington to England. It is as if V. M. I. should present the Chapel with a handsome engraving of the Main Building after one of their periodic jtainting outrages. I must prepare my speech in refu- tattoD of that fellow Harvey ' s infamous statmeent.

In the opposition faction, the hi Cams precipitated a panic hen they insisted that Dad- dy Potts must be either Presi- of the Student Body or President of Finals. With such proposition staring them in face it is but little wonder t they joined hands with ir opponents in promulgating free-for-all proposition, ich was thus adopted, reliev- ' a ten e situation for all con- cerned and leaving the field open to the non-frats, had they but realized it. However, by hook, or possibly by crook, the latter were induced to fall into line, and a score of busy littlb organizations were formed to take the place of the former parties, Wets and Drys, or whatever they were. When spring came and the political aap began to course through the veins of the politi- cally inclined, it was found that three men contested for th - honor of heading the Student Body, namely. Bill Holt, Doc Holbrook. and Jean Ellis. No win, not even Jean himself, al- though he had cards printef for the second ballot and hao prepared a splendid sob story. Bill Holt was in a quandary- he could not count on a single A T. O. vote nor bad he any backing in the Y. M. C.
