In a letter to the Emorald the “Digest” roquests' “two or three hundred words expressing your views as to the effect of prohibition on the student body of the institution of which you are a member.” * * * “From time to time, as you have observed,” continues the Digest, “it has been charged in the public piess that drinking by tho younger generation ;has tremondoifily (in creased, that ‘cocktail parties’ are rooro or less frequently indulged in, that it is considered smart among the young folks to carry a hip flask. Charges that youth is being de bauched under prohibition were laid before tho Senate sub-commit toe, hearing appeals for and against modification of tho Volstead act. « * * "James R. Angell, President of Yale University, reports that ‘the amount of drinking at present is very much less than in earlier years’ while Dr. Joseph 8. Ames, Dean of John Hopkins university, says that in his judgment ‘the ef fect of prohibition on the student tody, has been decidedly deleteri ous,’' and that ‘drinking on tho whole has increased to a marked degree.1 * * * The Literary Digest has a good many questions to ask on the sub ject: “What is the general opinion among your own student body on this question? Is drinking preval ent either on or off tho campus, in rooms, or at dances and other social events? What percentage of the students do you think could bo put in the class of drinkers? Has drink ing increased or decreased since you entered college, and what would you say is the trend at the present time. Do you think the ultimate effect of the Volstead law upon the young men and women of today \n ill be helpful or harmful?” Before answering these questions ■we must confess astonishment at tho gullibility with which most peo ple accept the major premise in all this discussion on young peoples' morals, namely, that prohibition is tho cause of all the iniquities of the day. Tho whole moral tono of tho nation, apparently, in tho op inion of these peoples, is inextri cably tied up with the Volstead Act. They assume without question that tho recently acquired flabbiness of moral fibre of the American peo ple can be traced entirely to a single law which says men may not drink intoxicating liquors. The argument is absurb. * * * If we face the situation dispass ionately, we must grant that the whole American people, following the tension of the World War, have lapsed into a state of indifference to those more “sterling” virtues which the earlier Americau gener ations held most dear. Throughout the nation today “wine and worn en” are genially embraced with careless abandon of the future. To be unchecked by convention is the thing to do, the smart thing, thej thing that will be approved .by other folks. * # * Prohibition, of course, enters very vividly into the situation. Nowadays it’s nice to be naughty— fashionable to be naughty—and it’s naughty to drink liquor—so we drink liquor with great gusto. And1 with every drop of liquor there in-1 ovitably comes, free of chargo and j with no reservations, a barrel full of talk. The college man’s reason ing, or lack of reasoning, is easy enough to follow: He wants to be fashionable—the hip flask is one of a number of fashionable unconven tials—so he tips the hip flask. * * * One of these fino days the pend ulum will swing the other way, it will be fashionable to be otherwise than naughty, and tho college folks will sell their flasks for more use playthings. Send an Invitation To Your Parents JF YOU have not already done so, send a wire, post-hasto letter or telephono call to your parents in viting them to be your guests next week-end. Last year it was decided by the student council to combine mothers ’ and dads’ day into parents’ day, and to invito both motliors and fathers to visit the University at tho same time, tho council believ ing that tho parents and their children would enjoy tho occasion more under tho new arrangement. Your parents will enjoy meeting the professors that flunk you out of the University—will bo glad to soo the football field where you broke your shoulder—will bo de lighted to meet the boy or the girl that is bringing scholastic, ruination to yourself—will bo overjoyed to see all tho things which he and she having been hearing so much about. You and your parents will enjoy! the week-end. the invitation. Mako haste with The Politicians'’ Feast and Banquet yOUR editor has just returned from a sumptuous banquet at Hendricks hall tendered by Miss DeLoris Pearson, retiring student body secretary, to the outgoing and incoming student body officers. The new and the old officers are agreed, one and all, that Miss Pearson is a gracious and charming hostess, and that if the new student officials enjoy all their meetings to the ex tent of this one, the first, that the next year’s work will be very de lightful, indeed.
