After it was discovered that the communication had been written by a man student and was merely a perverted attempt at cleverness, however, Wisconsin officials, after re ceiving the humblest of apologies and lengthiest of explanations, agreed to reconsider their threat. C. B. Ballard, superintendent of public property. and Governor Zimmerman admitted that their action on the matter had been prompted by a number of club women "uplifters" of Madison, and were forced to agree that had not these politically-important citizens of the state registered a protest the affair would have passed unnoticed. The case is typical of the college reform movement which occasionally pops up at the best-regulated of institutions. The co-ed's letter accidentally had not been ap proved by the editors of the Cardinal before it was published and was the mere expression of one stu dent's opinion. Anyone conversant with campus con ditions would have realized this fact and would have recognized the communication as non-representative of the Wisconsin student body. But not the "uplifters". These public-spirited bearers of ight and purity had to exclam "For goodness sake" once more and run to the governor to see if he couldn't do something about it And the governor,' being dependent upon these good people, had to make some show of doing something. Consequently, there came Mr. Ballard's threat. i Since it made very readable copy, the story about "Wdsconsin's Junior Prom Threatened by a Pocket Flask" was published on the front pages of newspa pers throughout the Middle-West. The casual reader, not pausing long enough to analyze the situation, nat urally gained the impression that college students and Wisconsin students in particular are, no doubt, the licentous, drunken lot they are ordinarily "cracked up" as being. And each press report of the incident was another black mark against the college student, and the University of Wisconsin. Wisconsin's prom will, as usual, be held in the state capitol this season. As usual, there will be a cer tain amount of surreptitious drinking. So the "uplift ers" of Madison did nothing toward the betterment of the younger generation. But they succeeded, and admir ably succeeded, in strengthening the general public's "For goodness sake" attitude toward university life. Instances like this latest Wisconsin scandal are dj plorable, but they will inevitably occur as long as we have with us the well meaning but purblind, clubwomen uplifters. THE TESTIMONY OF A FATHER Some three years ago the quiet mountains of southern Oregon were tainted with the blood of inno cent men, the result of a cold blooded murder, an at tempt to rob the mail from the south-bound Shasta Limited. Details of the horrifying affair have been told and retold, in an effort to understand how three boys, at the age of the average college student, could perpe trate such a crime. The boys, as a result, will live the rest of their lives within the walls of the Oregon penitentiary. This is the price THEY must pay, but they are not the only ones who suffer. The crime did not end with the last report of the death-dealing gun. The other day, speaking in the First Baptist Church at Eugene, Oregon, to a gathering of boys, Paul D'Autremont, father of the three boys said: "Many say I am crazy. If this be so, then listen to the ravings of a maniac that you may learn wisdom. I ask you boys to make a pledge to God that you will never by any act of yours do that which will bring dishonor or disgrace upon your father or your mother." They who sin do not suffer alone. All who love them shall suffer too as does the elder D'Autremont. It is evil enough that crime carries with it shame and punishment for the criminal. But crime is not content with this. The punishment extends to those who are dear, and more often their cross is far heavier to bear. Paul D'Autremont, the father, now has only the dark, disordered past in hi mind, the tormenting thoughts of what his sons have done. Paul D'Autremont who sired three murderers.

"Trips through various European countries are ar ranged, and invitations to Americans are extended; the tours are a means of introducing the phases of Euro pean student life to the Americans, just as I am now" learning about American student life to tell the peo ple abroad." These trips have been sponsored now for three years run ning, and are becoming very popular in America. "It is wonderful to think that the tamo enthusiasm and energy going on here is going on in all countries where the students are organized," she went on. "But here in Lincoln, the reception has been amazing, a stupendous thing. The amount of work necessary must be great. The hospitality is a thing to marvel over, it is so wonderful, so different from anything like it in England!' Miss Hermes is one of tho most distinguished members of the con vention, and is admittedly impressed with the manner in which American students carry on theii work. She is a guest of the Alpha Omicron Pi sorority while in Lincoln. AlwfysShop First at Speier's Gridmen Will Get Emblems (Continued from Page 1) tradition, Gish said.
