THE VIA TORIAN

Knowing, as I do, that the college is ninety-nine and nin ety-nine one-hundredths "dry" ('?), I realize the risk I assume when making the statement that nullification of the Eighteenth Amendment is something which would benefit America, mater-ially and spiritually. It is highly possible that the modern youth would not inbibe the poison retailed by booze-peddlers and recommended as the "real stuff," the best of Bourbon, etc., if the "kick" he gets from breaking the law were not present,

Prohibition and Inhibition

Of the Oxford students of the eighteenth century, Gibbon ~ays, "From the toil of reading, writing, or thinking, they had ;thsolved their consciences." Knowing that we Viatorians pride ourselves on the lacl{ of the mental inertia above designated, I propose that we conSIder the prohibition question.

F . O. SA VOlE CO. is null and void because of the following: he interprets the amendment as a transfer of powers, hitherto reserved to them­':>elves, by the people of the United States to the Federal Gov­ernment. He, moreover, says that for such action to be lawful it must be ratified by three-fourths of constitutional conven­tions, not by state legislature as was the Eighteenth Amend­ment, chosen from the forty-eight states composing one union. His authority for this statement is the Constitution of the l lnited States. How he can base his argument on Article V which concerns the amending power of Congress is difficult to perceive. This article specifies that three-fourths of either state legIslatures or constitutional conventions may ratify the l)roposed amendment.

His aetion is interesting because it is so novel. Prohibition and inhibition, prohibit and inhibit, check a nd restrain, suppress and persecute are peculiar Puritanic concepts entirely, it would <;eem, unmodern. But they are present with all of the fever attending a great disease and one word is hurled over the nation like a leperous disease embedding itself in the limbs of the na­tion.

IS Robert Maynard Hutchms, now PreSIdent of Chlcago UniverSIty.

As was apparently hoped for, Mr HutchIns brought Into the UniversIty that spmt of youth, t empered by dear thmking and commOn sense, that ha s been hl S outstanding char­acterlstlc even In hIS own under­graduate days. It seemq to the out­<; Ide world that he has reJuvenated an mstItutlOn that was In reahty on Lhe declme as tar as its st udent en­rollment Waf:, (.oncerned, although ItS ,cholastlC standIng could not be questioned. Being a young man hUll­self, Mr Hutchins has not forgotten hIS college days, and understands, and lS In ful! sympathy WIth the un­der-graduate He knows the student's tnals and tribulatIOns The ten-dy­Ing aspect of seven or eIght year~ In col!ege before beIng able to hang out one's shmgle as a doctor or lawyer IS understooLl. by hIm, and he IS out to rectIfy what he consldera an tmnecessalY prolongatIon of tIme spent m college, and at the same time to encourage the mdustYlou '3 student and elImInate those who con'.lder a umvel Sity as a country-club

One mlght try to catch IntangIble shape the spmt of thlS poetry, only to find the Imposslblhty 01 dOIng anythmg of the ktnd But 1'lele ana.lysls would be equally U.::o( less, for the essence of It IS as subtle a'5 aIr and as flUId as h ght , one IS finally compelled, m hope of cunvcy­mg some ImpreSSIOn of th(~ nature of It, to fall back upon comparIson. In usmg compartson, W~ must call out of memory the magICal efftc.t that lS produced upon the mInd by the readmg of "Kubla Khan," HChnstabel" or liThe AnCient Marm­er." Very sml1lar to that I ::' the effect of Mr de la Mare's poetry. However, there IS a dIfference, but the chIef fact lS that here ap'ongst modern poetry of so dIfferent order, you find work whIch seems to be a sUl'vival from the age of romance.

The remedy Mr Hutchms offers IS a carefully deVIsed system of educa­tIon that WIll go Into effect in Sep­tern bel', 1931 The entenng class of Freshmen next fall WIll not bp con­:::.Idel ed as a class, but they WIll be treated as mdlV1duals, WIth IndlVidual talents, mdlvldual problems, aT}d m­dIvldual alms m hfe To explam thlS system let us f ollow John Doc, Jr, throughout hIS collegIate caU .. el John enters ChIcago Umverslty next fal1 a nd IS llnm edlately aSSIgned an adVIsor who WIll take John "under hIS WIng" so to speak, and will wOlk a long With hIm untIl he leaves the Unlverslty John tells hllU that he has been unable to declde whether or not he wlshes to take up any of the profeSSIOns, but that he would hke to obtaIn at least a general educa­bon HIS adVIsor mforms hun that before he WIll be allowed to enter any of the profeSSIOnal schools he must earn a certlficate statIng that he has a general education, and whIle he IS obtammg thIS general educa bon he WIll have time to look into the profeSSIOns more thoroughly aI).d WIll then be m a bettel posItion to make hIS chOiCe of a vocatlOn, If he deSIres to speclahze, John then goes about the bUSIness of obtammg a general education. He selects studi.s, wlth the help of his adVlsor, and be­gms a course that is estimated to take the average student two years to complete If John lS a bnlhant

Its pnckle lIke a spear scholar he may fimsh thIS course m A dew drop like a lookmg glass one quarter of that tIme, or may take

That lS why one has the feehng that thIS poet has never grown up Partly from natural mclInatIOn ... , a nd partly from a dehberate plan, hke that of Colendge, to produce a c.('r-

A han lIke golden WIre; two addItional years If he find s It The sma nest graIn of mustard-seed difficult to master hlS studIes. TillS As fierce as coals of fire" course prepares hIm for a com pre-

And so we nught contmue to henslve exammatIOn that WIll prove select passages whIch replesent one concluslvely, whether or not John aspect or another of the speCIfic has receIved a general educatIOn quality of Mr de la Mme's poetry. He WIll not be reqUIred to attend The cholce IS rIch, for thple 15 re- classes regularly, though he WIll be markably a hIgh level of InSpIratIOn encouraged to do so He Wlll be free To come back to our companC:;Oll and to come and go as he sees fit, and recalhng the magIcal mUSIC of poems whenever he feels that he IS In a hke "ArabIa" or "VOJces"-to repreco -

But of COUl se there 13 a dIfference, for after all, thiS poet IS a romantI­CIst of the twentIeth century and not of the late eIghteenth It lS true that h" gem us has surpnsmgly kept

pOSItion to take thIS final examma­tIon he may make apphcatIOn for It, prOVIded he has been 111 reSIdence of the UnIversity for at least one quarter (ThIS quarter bemg eqmv­alent to a semester In other colleges)

In the same manner and wIll lead to a bachelor's degree. It is upon en­terIng the Senior School that John makes his ch01ce of a profeSSIOn, or jf he chooses to follow one, or ehe he chooses the qubJect In whlCh he Wishes to "maJor 11 He will be per­mItted to apply for the examInatIOn that wIll glVe him hI '; degree, after he has been m re,)ldence for at least one quarter, or at the end of one year, or two years, dependmg upon the amount of work he ha. been do­Ing and hlS natural abIlity to learn Upon paSSing thIS exammatIOn a degree of bachelor of arts or scienc.es as the case may be IS conferred upon him and he IS then ready to enter the graduate school'3 of law, medlCme or whatever It 15 he has been prepar-109 for Therefore John WIll be en­abled to earn hIs degree m one year, If he IS exceptIOnally bnlhant, or m four years If he IS average, or In as many years as he pleases, untIl he makes of hIm self a pubhc nuisance, when he WII! be requested to Wlth­draw from the Umverslty. The bme John WIn spend as an under-graduate WIll depend entuely upon how he applIes hImself, and of course on hIS natural abIhty The examinatlOTIS whICh he WIll be reqUIred to pass w111 tel! whether or not he knows what he should know H e wll1 have earned hIS degree on ment, where mother mstItutlOns he IS gwen a degree Simply because he has so many credIt-hours In certam reqmred subJects and has received grades m these subJects of a certam value Whether or not the student has wa5ted hIS tIme and then "crammed" a few days before the semester ex­ammatIOns, and WIth the help of a tutor passes them and forgets m the next twenty-four hours what he IS supposed to know all hIS hfe, makes no difference He has the credlt­hours, therefore has hIS degl'ee whether he deserves It or not

Thls plan of Doctor Hutchms will encourage the s tudent to do his best and to make the most use of hIS tIme The student WIll advance ac­cordmg to how he applIes hunself to hiS studIes. No two mtellects are the same. It stands to r eason that all students have not the same abll­Ity to learn Some are bl tlltant, some are dull, othels WIll not wOlk In thlS system of educatIOn the bnlhant student will not be held back by the dull fellow, or by the loafer, 1 e., the student who takes nothmg sellously, and plays hIS tIme away In the same manner the student who finds It citfficult to learn, WIll not be hur­rIed along m Older to keep f rom "flunkmg out" He c.an go along at hIS own steady, ploddmg pac.e and obtam hiS educatIOn more thoroughly.

Well, another issue rolls around just at exam time, and 10, y e editor of ye publication agaIn becomes a Vlatorian scribe. Being of an unfnvolous nature (blushes), we find conducting this (olumn to be the toughest Job on the schedule. Now, we are gOing to be perfectly frank with our gullible public and tell them " II about this We have Just allotted twenty minutes to our­sf'lves to get this thing out In, and we are using the O. O. McIntyre type of hooey to fill up space. And we Just mentioned he isn't the only columnist we have heard about. (What gram­mar !) There IS Arthur BrIsbane. And our lIttle pal of ~he Jll il'l'or-Walter Winchell. But perhaps we had bes t stop there und start about somethIng else. But we would lIke to say that 0ur idea of the best columnist we ever knew IS one of the least of these. A certaIn E. T. of downstate fame and whom we knew qUI te well when we were a pnnter's deVlI in a small town dally. It is qUite alright to brag about one's IllustrIOUS acquaintances. That is the way Will Rogers makes his money. (Address all communications to Santa Claus, care North Pole-we aren't go­Illg to argue about that).

* * * * * * We have a bunch of Exchanges at our elbow, and we are

most certalllly t empted, but we read a little dig that the Wheaton Record Just took at Eureka and we flush guiltily as we realIze that we have been at the same thlllg ourselves. And if we go out looklllg for some Wise-ones, we will only hear another verSlOn of the moth-eaten traveling salesman affair. It IS some­th111g of a stra111 to be humorous at a time !Ike this, anyhow. What with flunks staring us In the face and the open door so vIvidly real. As Chuck Carney t ells It-"SO I says to him, 'Well, Dean, its either you or me, and I got my trunks packed.' "

* * * * * * And the Record says, (this IS the second t ime today that it

has ruined our peace of mind)­"I've been fired out of class." "What for?" "For good." Don't laugh boys, the pOOl' fellow's dying!

* * * * * * Flapper's war-cry-"Two arms, two arms. Fall in."

****** Larkin Just came in. He can't help-much. He says, "Say

someth111g about the eXaminatIOns." And then he tells us one vI these "then I says to him and then he says to me" things. He does say, though, that he IS gOing to strike for more pay before he Will wn te another article. He says that his public will de­mand hi mand force us to meet hiS price. Oh, well, It's all 111 a day.

From a hasty survey of the College students who h ave read the article, lhere appea rs to be a great deal of opposition to this proposed new law as many of t he students have to re­sort to hitch-hiking because of poor t ransportat ion facilities out of Kan­kakce to central and western down­state. Such a method is also the quickest a nd surcst way into the neighborin g metropolis from this vi ll age. Then too, many cannot af­f ord to pay the fare specified by the Illinoi s Com merce Commission for ra ilroads a nd buses. The local op­pon ents believe t hat Representa tive Lyons overstates thc case when he says, HI-li tch-hikers a re a nuisa nce to motorists and rn any cases are on reco rd in which pcrsons soliciling a r ide ha ve robbed and even murdered t.hose who befr iended t hem. 11 The st.udents a lso cla im that as hitch­hikers they are not n uisances because in the majority of cases they provid e compani onship to lone dri vers, and that cases of robbery a nd mUl'df'l' are more the rare exceptions than the general ru le.

Millikin surprised a lot of the boys ants and so will not have to win as by dropping that one to North many games. Illinois Wesleyan is Central.

Quoting our source of information, the hi gh points of the bill are to: "prohibit a ny person to lendeavor by wo rds, gestures or othenvise, to beg or securc transporta tion in any motor vehicle not engaged in carry­ing passengers for hire, unl ess said persons know the dr iver thereof or a p:1.sscngel' therein'.
