The overwhelming support which repeal has commanded makes it obvious that a majority of the American peo plo feel that their thirteen-year period of Prohibition was a mistake But in the rush to join the "wet parade," some states have evidently forgotten that repeal is a means and not an end. The mere repeal of the EiThteenth Amendment won't solve the situ4iorlWhich Prohibition attempted to correct in 1920. Now that repeal is a real- ity, halycon days of temperance are not around the cor- ner. The real problem of, liquor control, which even the repealists admit exists,is still to be solved Pennsylvania is , onc of those states which still has to deal with the liqoreontrol problem. Two weeks ago Governor Pinchot stated his position and suggestions, and a Fen Sian of the General Assembly will come to•grips with the problem very soon. Unless -the new laws -will solve in a new: way the evils which- Prohibition, was de signed to abolish, the virtue of. repeal' will be'doubtful Instead of the cat's being drowned, it will be right back on our doorstep THE LARGE VOTE WHICH people of the State polled for Amendment Number S at the election Tues day has brought fortiva. sigh of relief on the part of members and friends of the College. Although the suc cess of the Amendment was never really in doubt, there was alway, the possibility of a sudden change of senti ment The fact that this did not materialize has made it unnecessary to drop the thousand students ; to cut the faculty, and to curtail' 'research and extension work. Needless to say, the confidence • which the voters' have shown in the work of this College, as well as in that of •other institutions and agencies concerned, is greatly appreciated. ATHLETIC AUTHORITIES have, long supported the drive to get a swimming pool here. There Is a good one hero now, but the fact that it is privately-owned seems to make a world of difference. Numerous stu dent requests have been made for a varsity swimming team, but these requests have bean ignored. It may be true that there are practical difficulties in the way of making swimming a varsity sport under the present conditions, but there is very little excuse for the absence of any provision for intramural swimming. If a cup were offered to the winner, probably quite a few fra ternities would be willing to pay an entrance fee cover ing the cost of admission to the pool. What would be the objectioh to such an arrangement? IN THIS ISSUE begins the official "Student Union Bulletin." With the cooperation' eVStudent Union ; the COLLEGIAN will publish the new feAure .iegularly in place of the "Campus Bulletin." Tlie la4k;hdd been criticized because notices were often omitted:''.Under the new arrangement, all notices will be' published regularly if they are 'phoned to the designated places. PRESENT PLANS CALL for an appearance of the Pershing Rifles at the Armistice Day observance be tween the halves Saturday. In' view of the solemnity of the occasion, students in the stands should have:the good judgment to refrain from any derogatory actions. AS A RESULT OF local' elections, a new burgess will come into office February 1. Very little about the qualifications of the new man is known to the students,. but he has a fairly high standard of efficiency and jus= tico to keep up. On the whole, it may be said that tho relations of the present burgess with the student body have been conducted on a fair and cooperati'm basis. Apologies to Burgess Lederer! This week our mail-box, usually filled to the brim (cf. "Brim's Fairy Tales"), contained a communication from the Burgess in which he denied the charge that he tried to break up the Columbia Football Send-off. He writes, "I gave my best wishes to the team and Bob Higgins for victory and did not say one word to the driver. The only slip-up was; I told the team that if they did not bring'Back Victory that I would put them in jail, and they did not do as I commanded." Honestly, Burgey ole pal, we really are sorry ... in more way than one. And speaking of the Burgess, he and the town Council are having a lot of fun hiring and firing Of ficer Campbell. It looks like a game, and Campbell seems to be "it." As soon as we heard about all the fun, we felt playful, too, so we wrote alittle parodie. You'll enjoy is much more if you happen to know that over-played fraternity victrola. record, "Pan handle Pete." —___A. Conrad noises '34 Kenneth C.

Judging by, the election iesults, of Tuesday it•=would seem as though democracy. were coming -pack as an institution among us. Regaining our much desired personal liberties we may now act natural without fear of rebuke, and by the same token, heart ily add spirits to spirit. Many will be the joys added to the Sabbath as our citizens are alloWed to pass a delight ful Sunday afternoon watching our athletes perforrri, rather than casting themselves about in bald boredom. And very. interestedly we turn our ears to the death knells of our super parasitic neighbors, the meretricious manipulators of the badly-battered and, in many..cases, demolished pol itical machines. Paradoxically the people have . finally decided to aid progress by destroying a scientific method—that in the hands of thoge scientists, Yore, Mellon, Curry, and that ilk. For something constructive accom plished on, thik eventful election day we turn to:the adoption of the eighth and' fourth ; amendments and feel at peace with-the world as we envisage our unemployed and our veterans rightfully receiving our aid, and our educational: institutions' properly be ing subsidized. Let's hope that the fat dais of _prosperity will not visit their lethargic qualification upon the minds of our hardy democracy. Strong is the power of contrast. To the AmeriCan public the name Russia until. recently connoted little less than destruction fOr civilization. But with the arrival'of Hitler upon the scene, blandishing so unmistakably the torch of barbarism, the true worth of Rus sia has come out in relief. Upon the cenclusibn or ,the conferences - now be ing conducted by the government with the Soviet - commissar of Foreign Re‘ lotions -I,ltvinoff, the United States, besides recognizing a progressive na tion, will - also gain •that great trade which she has so long denied herself; Hitler. and his associates, it seems, will haveto try being good soon, and when they to such a pass we're afraid they'll have to give' up what for them•is the impossible.

COLLEGIAN! Not that we are afraid the Campuseer or Maniac will over look us this time, but with true in dignation, we desire 'to enter a com plaint in the Letter Box. So much for preliminaries. During the past week, every one of the pay telephones in Grange Me morial dorniitory has been either taken out or disconnected. From the proper College authorities .(oh, so 'proper!)' through the chief College operator and down the line to the Col lege switchboard girls,•word has been given to the effect that: absolutely no local incoming or outgoing calls are to be accepted after 10 o'clock. Long distance calls only 'may be -received after ten, and long distance calls may be put through from Grange, provid ing, of course, that the charges are reversed. Purely altruistic motives will be given by the proper College authori ties for having disposed of the desired telephone service at Grange. Really, you. know, all those telephone calls at such ungodly hours Prevented Miss Prim front her concentration on stud ies. Although, it will be agreed, that if Miss Prim is kept from concen trating because of telephone• bells or alarm clocks, she should not even be in College. Then, too, we shall ex pect to hear that calls after 10 o'clock are frivolous and unnecessary. That a call may be of some_ little import ance to the girl concerned need not be mentioned for the other side! . Very often it is impossible for a girl to receive or put through calls until 10 o'clock or later. It may be said in argument that if a girl is ex peeling an iniportant call she can ar range to get it. But even if social en gagements are considered insignifiJ cant, actual study just may entice a Grarige girl• to remain at the library until ten once in a while. Further more, it seems to be taken for granted that what may be important calls are either expected or premeditated days ahead of time. Oh, SQ very rare! Down the road ten miles or so is a branch of the Western Penitentiary. Grange Memorial dormitory is fast becoming a second Rockview within walking distance of its model. Grange is now guarded with competent cam pus cops. Telephone calls after 10 o'clock are prohibited. A few iron bars across each window and orderly marching to meals and back will just about complete the "Making Grange a Prison" program. If it were up to Grange girls and an. actual vote- were taken, we are sure that the pay telephones'would be replaced here. Perhaps, when letters : come from home complaining about the unavoidable reversed changes, it will be seen. that a mistake has been made. Grange is a modern building in every respect, but its organization is mid-Victorian. And it has been recently discovered that prohibitiOn is a bad thing, generally. • It may be a wise move on the part Germany would be, had the Nazis al lowed the'opposition to partake in the election.—B: H.
