classic Of the South.

Although formal announcement
of the resignation of D. Ellis Brown
has not yet been made by university
authorities, it was learned today
that it has been rendered and ac-
cepted.

resignation of the veteran Pop"

the assistant basketball coach Eol-
land refused to take the position
under the circumstances, and the
basketball team threatened to dis.

The present rebellion was pre-.
cipiated several months ago when
Earl Greasy" Neale, football coach,
resigned his post to accept q posi-
ton with the st. Louis Cardinals.
More than dozen prospects were
interviewed to fill Neales post,
most of whom told the university
authorities they would not take the
position at any price because Of
the restricted athletic policies at
Virginia.

Law on Spain

PARIS, Feb. although strict
censorship by the Spanish govern

sources, the fact that martial law
has been decreed after conference
between the dictator, Primo de Ri

limited to the Andalusian area, but
with broader aspects in the estab-
lishment of special military court
to have jurisdiction over both the
military and civilians, everything in
dicates that the fascist regime of
Spain is in another crisis.
Another symptom of the discon-
tent undermining the regime of
Primo de Rivera is the royal decree
permitting the formation of "vigi-
lance committees" or what amounts
to armed bands of civil reactionaries
with full power to spy upon and, by
inference, to murder anyone who
they may feel is not in. harmony
with the fascist regime.

Motion for Increase in

BULLETIN.

WASHINGTON. Feb. A. The
Senate tonight defeated the amend
ment backed by Hoover and Cool
idge, which would have abolished
the provision in the Is cruiser bill
calling for construction of five
cruisers a year, all to be finished
within three years. The vote was
81 to rs. Coolidge's plan was to
build all the cruisers Immediately.
but the senator's were known to be
afraid that government red tape
would delay the building if the three
year limit were dropped.
WASHINGTON, Feb. a. - The
cruiser bill, American imperialism's
armament plan in preparation for
the coming war, is slated for pas
sage tomorrow. A modified cloture
rule went into effect today, by
unanimous consent. Speeches be-
tween noon and four p. m. were
limited to a half hour each, and
after four, only ten minutes was
allowed.
In view of the fact that all sem
ators agree to the limitation of de-
bate the so-called opposition be-
comes more openly hypocritical than
before, and the tenor of the
speeches loses Importance.
Against Plain Speaking.
Senator Neely, democrat, of West
Virginia, said for the benefit of the
workers and farmers back home
that Senator Reeds speech last
week was jingoistic.
But Neely said he would vote for
the pending bill.
For More Plane Carriers.
Senator Bingham, Conn.,, intro.
duced an amendment to provide fo1
the construction of three aircraft
carriers instead of one.
Senator Tyson, DEM, Tenn.
started the discussion with a speech
endorsing the bill in its present
form. He limited strongly at a wal
with Japan as well as with Great
Britain, saying:
"If we have another war it i:
quite likely to be in the Pacific as
well as in the Atlantic. In thi:
great ocean are our farthest pos
sessions, the Philippines. We neet
a navy to protect them"
For Commerce Rivalry.
Senator George, DEM, Ca, alst
endorsed the bill and the tim,
clause. He said: "How elusive il

is being used, how can we hope thai
