BERGE REPORTS ON
WASHINGTON MEETING
Tells World Forum that Re
spect for Law Was Issue
at Conference.
"Are we students going to side
with the bootleggers or with the
Constitution?" asked Wendell Berge
at the World Forum luncheon held
at the Grand hotel Wednesday noon.
Mr. Berge told of the Student Citi
zenship Conference which he attend
ed at Washington, D. C.
Prohibition was not the subject of
the conference he stated and added
that some of 'those present were en
tirely out of sympathy with the Vol
stead Act. The purpose of the con
ference was to cultivate among the
students of the country a strong
opinion in favor of law enforcement
In the discussion of drinking, morals
were not mentioned.
The question was whether or not
the Constitution should be nullified
by a law-lefying minority. Senator
Borah of Idaho was said to be one
of the strongest speakers heard.
No matter what a citizen thinks
of a law it is his duty to uphold
it as long as it is on the books was
one of the points brought out Mr.
Berge also stated that it is one of
the students obligations to teach and
to preach patriotism. No matter how
great is his opposition to war he
cannot desert his country in time
of need.
Reverend H. F. Huntington sug
gested that a resolution protesting
against the Japanese Exclusion Act
be prepared by a committee of stu
dents and faculty members. " Be
cause the subject was not thorough
ly understood, the suggestion was not
acted upon.
