'Sackett, Of the School of Engineering, in critic izing a speech by David Coyne, a New York engineer, made before a recent meeting of the American Society of Mechanical Engineers. In this speech, Coyne said that there were •two ways to meet the present economic situation, the first of which was the restraint of credit. The sec ond •called for old age pensions and subsistence for the physically disabled so that 'need not save Tor the proverbial rainy day. This plan also called for the taxing of incomes so that full public administration prog rains should be,carried on at the same rate as they are today. "This second plan is far from prac tical," Dean Sackett declared, "This administration or any other adminis tration cannot remove initiative and individualism fr o m the American makeup. IL is too fundamental 'and too, innate in American life." The governmental authorities will never be able to prevent individuals from perfecting inventions which in turn will produce returns for the in ventor, lie believes.

Hibshman, secretary of the Alumni Association, spoke at a meeting of the alumni club in Buffalo on the subject, "College Traditions," Wednesday night, and on the work of the Alumni Association before the members of the Rochester club on the following night. At the meeting in Buffalo, the sec retary of the class of• 1889 was pres ent. Arrangements are being- made for a.. series of alumni meetings throughout the State during the months of February and March. this is one of the ways in which an individual may best advance himself. "This country will not become less mechanical," he declared. "In the fu ture it will develop into a more highly mechanized system, and that will call Tor more. machines which will be the result of individual ability. No gov ernment can retard this certain prog ress." However, we may approach a more perfect system, Dean Sackett tadieves, through the adoption of an old age pension, workmen's compensation, em ployment insurance, and similar de fenses against want. A certain amount of individual incentive and initiative will be retained despite this, he thinks. "It is: easy for me to remember what happened directly after the panic of 180:1P the engineering Dean continued. "People advocated new systems, but as'soon as industry and business revived, they soon reverted to the Old state of mind. "In 1007 there were the same diu in business, the same revival, the same thoughts of change, and then the same' return to individual activity," he con clUded. "I look for. the, same thing to happen again. The profit motive cannot he eliminated." • PA., MONDAY: ; EVENING, JANUARY 8, 1934 Dates Set : ; Cap, Gown Measurements Measurements ;:'and orders for caps and •gowns for .students grad uating in February will be taken at the Student.

Passage of Child Labor Amendment May Result in Abuses, Says Tanger "Passage of the proposed child la bor amendment to the United States Constitution would doubtlessly open ,up iossibilitiCs for legislative abuses i by Congress," Dr. Jacob Tenger, head of the department of history and pol !Weal science thinks, "but the people land public opinion will have to check abuse in the use of this power as in other congressional powers." During the past month, an increas ing food of criticism has been heaped upon the state legislatures of the country who have been reversing their original vote on the Federal Child Labor amendment, making its !ratification likely within the year: ' The question has been raised as to whether or not such a reversal of op inion is legal. "There is nothing in the Federal Constitution which would prevent a state legislature from changing its negative vote to a positive one on the amendment," Dr. Tang3r stated; "pro vided no time limit has been set. But' no state may change its positive vote to a negative one.

"The amendment as originally con ceived was to make it possible for Congress to have uniform regulation throughout the United States, so that industries in one state could not hire boys and girls at a low wage and thus compete unfairly with industries in another state where child labor was forbidden," the professor concluded. With the recent ratification of the. amendment by this and other states,! a storm of objection, led by Alfred' E. Smith; Nicholas Murray Butler and others, has brought the question! to the foreground. The objections arc based on the ground that such a meas ure would be "An unwarranted en largement and extension of the juris diction and power of Congress." I Claiming that it is not limited to' the prohibition of the labor of young children• in factories or sweat-shops: under unhealthy conditions, but that' it includes all the children underj eighteen years of age and brings their I labor, whether in the home, the farm, or elsewhere, under the supreme con-' trol of Congress "to limit, regulate, and prohibit" as it sees fit, the lead ers of the opposition want either the. amendment revised or desire the pow er be left to the individual states to legislate as they see fh.
