r ! i VOLUME XXXVIII Forum Series Talks On Love, Marriage To Conclude Tonight NUMBER 84 The Passing Show r? Court Spruces Vp Class Hits Packing Easter Egg-Rolling Labor Front Quiet Ey PAUL DEUTSCHMANN Justices Have Big Day Answering charges of incompet ence with action the supreme court yesterday handed down three ma jor affirmative decisions on the right of states to fix women's minimum wages, the Frazier-Lem ke farm mortgage moratorium, and the act guaranteeing collective bargaining to rail workers. The women's minimum wage law, sustained yesterday by a 5-4 decision, was declared unconstitu tional by the same margin a year ago, Justice Roberts providing the margin in both cases. Action of the court was held by proponents of the president’s scheme as a sign that the court was "weakening.” Opposition failed to see any signi ficence in the reversal, charging it as the "proper function of a court.” Dissenting justices took oppor tunity to hit at Roosevelt's hope to speed up the court's acceptance of social and New Deal legislation, writing: “The judicial function . . . . does not include the power of amendment under the guise of in terpretation.” "The remedy in that situation. ... is to amend the con stitution.” Majority answered: "The liberty safeguarded is liberty in a social organization which requires the protection of law against the evils which menace the health, safety morals and welfare of the people.” Judicial Wet Nurses While congressional debaters were thrown into turmoil by the supreme court reversal, Demo cratic Senator Carter Glass lashed at FDR's six “judicial wet-nurses,” called for an organized propaganda against the danger of a possible autocracy, and declared that there was “no mandate from the people to rape the supreme court. . . ” in a radio speech Monday.

The plan originated in 1932 when 12 boys from one community came down to set up their own home. An aunt of one of the boys came along to be house mother and do the cooking. One of the boys brought along two milk cows and all of the boys were required to bring four laying hens each. There are now' 50 such coopera tive projects, and plans are under way to encourage local communi ties to build houses for students they send to the school. Harvard Broken Hearts Harvard seniors have threatened a “stay-at-home” strike against girls who habitually break hearts and then do nothing to mend mat ters. Romantic affairs have be come so pressing a problem that a group of twenty-five of them banded together as “the Harvard Society for the Prevention of Bro ken Hearts.” This senior class has set a rec ord for engagements, marriages, and broken engagements, and even professors have noted that far away look in the eyes of most of; their classes, officials of the new organization said. In its manifesto the society! states: “It; ... is founded in the! hope of preventing future broken hearts, especially for seniors, who: need to have their minds free from worry in order to study.” Woman Engineer Betty Bowman will be the first woman to complete four years of an engineering course at the Uni versity of Nevada.
