(XHXEGIATE CENTER OPINION News and Views in the College Editor-in-Chief Business Manager Mary Frances Servoss Robert Hamilton *****#«*«« One Convention Coming Up For some reason or other nobody teems much concerned over next year's state constitutional conven- tion; as Jf It were not the finest chance we shall have for many ycare to bring our state govern- ment up to «at«. Thifl apathy is the more puzzling when we re- member that there are dozens of reforms either necessary or de- serving of consideration, and doz- ens of obsolete provisions in New York's constitution crying for a change. Shall we have a unicameral legislature? There Is no good rea- son why we should not, But If this reform proves unattainable because the major parties are un- willing to bring legislative respon- sibility Into the open, at least there should be a paring down of the number of senators and assembly- men with perhaps un increase in their salaries. The executive brunch should be definitely subordinated to the governor, that is. It should be re- orgnnlzed into departments which house all boards and commissions. All rublnet officers should be uppointed by tin- ijoverrior The state Judiciary might be re- shaped with unity and efficiency in view Should not judges be ie- rnoved from politim' (''inully, if tin- legislatuic now In session doe.-, not act upon the | question of i <<unty reorganiza- tion, the question can be nettled at | the convention ' Surely these proponed changes in the fundamental atale law de- ; serve clone attention and prolong- | cd consideration Dclegutea UJ the (irnprite n '.III he cle< U'd Dili, yr.n 'liny inn I row then bum- : !•< • • ..I -I tin ,1 •IllltUellL-l' alti- tude \ill i \ c i J in,|w)i lunl Usui* 1 Four Men's Opinion - • - - i The minonly opinion drlivcied 1 by Justice Sutherland on the !

Conditions, ac- cording to the latter quotation, may, after all. make a difference in the application of the Constitu- tion! \To the extent that the sum fixed exceeds the fair value at the services rendered It. amounted to a compulsory exaction from the employer for the support of parti- ally indigent persons for whose conditions there rests upon him no peculiar responsibility, and there- fore In effect, arbitrarily shifts to his shoulders a burden which, if it belongs to anybody, belongs to society as a whole.\ This passage from a previous decision Justice Sutherland cited In support ot his contention of the unconstitutionali- ty of the Washington law. But docs the gentleman subscribe whole- heartedly to the doctrine of \fair value,\ which is the same thing as the mediaeval \Just price\? If he is determined that no more than u fair valuation be placed on labor, he must also contrive In some way to see that no less than a fair wage be paid the worker. \It Is hard to see why the power to fix a minimum wage does not connote a like power In respect of maximum wages.\ Vet Justice Sutherland should know Ihat, un- dei the present system of unequal bargaining power on the side of employees, the police power of the states could not logically or justly and therefore legally, be used to hold down wages Why woriy over a minority opinion'' Well, It barely mlssc-d be- coming the decision of the ma- JOIlt) Plunder She curie, unknown to me, And grasped my handiwork — My living thoughts, my burning soul Which I had placed in utmost sen ocy It was as though I died My heart stood still Then It beat with resplendent fury That living soul was torn apart from me, And Ito deepest, treasured thoughts Were ravaged by the bitter world! promises to be most enjoyable, Ifte ptwam wtH clofe *ph_ tftf very Jmmorou* \Bartow* am UthW There are a few tickets left for the performance and these may he obtained at the door.

The answer is practically nothing. We can think of youth aa little children in water with their hands outstretched reaching for help but they can get none. Youth must be highly commend- ed today for the way they have carried on during the last decade, never giving up hope. Our present generation spends from seventeen to twenty-seven years getting an education. After this educational period they are considered perfect- ly capable of going out in the world to make their living. Upon entering into the world youth is greeted invariably with unem- ployment. Some may get jobs, but very few of these Jobs have a fu- ture. Youth dislikes nothing more than a Job with no future because the outstanding characteristic of the generation entering Into the world is the burning desire to do something and to become some- body. When they are not afforded the opportunity to fulfill their de- sires, they become discouraged. Many fine qualities which youth possesses are being thrown into the shadow of discouragement and lack of opportunity. Thousands of youths are leaving college and high school annually with a blank wall in front of them. If they are not quickly introduced to the problems of society all their learning la useless and this dor- mant knowledge disappears in time We must devise a system where- by youthful umbilion is not driven fiom the present generation The pieient generation composed of the artists and scientists of to- morrow whose job It is to promote culture, yet thc-y cannot do this if they are not given the opportu- nity tor Urn ,-uejtertl'«t the** two stretches of iwwdTbjr the *f*te and local governments, Ihis four mile section has caused travelers to avoid the highway entirely. Both AlWon and Medina nave lost Busi- ness which ordinarily would have been given to the two villages. The solution to this problem is either one of two alternatives: (1) Construction of a new highway that would follow the old one from Eagle Harbor road to 300 yards west of Mason's Comers where a new road would be con- structed running north-east to the Albion village line and cutting off the sharp curves at Masons Cor- ners and McOmber's Corners. (2) Resurfacing of the road from the Eagle Harbor rood directly to Mason's Corners and the building of a new road directly east on the Allen Road to Main street in the village of Albion. The re-surfacing of the state highway from the old B. L. and R. railroad to the village limits of Medina. Immediate action should be taken by the State Highway Com- mission to correct these faults in construction and it satisfaction cannot be gained the various pub- lic spirited organizations in both villages should make it their busi- ness and bear pressure on the local and state representatives who su- pervise this type of work. It is each citizen's duty to support any movement toward the betterment of this highway inasmuch as the life of a small village is possible only so long as good highways are maintained and open to commerce. 'Barbarism\ Reconstruction of Albion-Medina Highway The Play'H The Thing Tonight thcsplana of Medina ColleglaUi Center will trip lightly behind the footlights In th« long und anxiously awaited spring pluys. \Elizabeth Refuses,\ Is a short- ened version of \Pride and Pre- judice \ The second play, \The Rising of the Moon\ by Lady Orcgoi y has an all mulo cast und The present state road between | Eagle Harbor road and the village line at Albion is a disgrace to the vicinity. The present road Is as- phalt and has been re-surfaced with tar wherever the asphalt has been broken. Tho result Is a bum- py, uneven highway which, after the burden of heavy trucking, has depreciated rapidly. The rest of the eleven mile strip, with the exception of a mile on the out- skirts of Medina, Is of mecadam composition which has Just recent- ly been laid and Is In perfect con- dition. There is no reason whatsoever The strike situation throughout the country today is in the form of \sit-down\ strike^ in other words the members of the labor unions take over the employer's plant and refuse to work or allow non-mem- bers to work in their place. This condition is not only un-constitu- tional but barbaric and unciviliz- ed We are all agreed that the labor- ing class should have a decent standard of living but when these people take over another's prop- erty and destroy machinery, little can be said in labor's favor. If labor insists on using such a meth- od to (jam their points, the Fed- eral government should take steps to pass a law forbidding such ac- tions on the part of employees. Most employers are meeing la- bor's demands but there cannot help being hard feelings when em- ployees destroy his machinery and parts of his factory. What we most want is harmony between labor and capital und we cannot gain these ends if labor continues to act \uncivilized\. Coming Event* and Sidelights Don't forget the dramatic club plays.

We have a poetess in our midst —hurray for our aide—do believe we nave the chocolate cake.* Weather Reports Such weather! What are we to do about it? Nothing! We must take it and like it. One day the sun shines, the thermometer rises rapidly and everyone gets outdoors, either to ride or t o walk. Older people say, \I guess this Is going to be a mild winter; today is surely like spring.\ Children run and get their roller skates and go skating, up and down the streets and side- walks. As they leave school, they throw off their coats or jackets and act as if spring were here. No wonder they do it—the thermome- ter is still climbing. The day be- fore this it rained and there are pools of water in the street with the sun glimmering on them. The next day the thermometer falls rapidly. Suddenly black clouds appear and it begins to snow. The snow falls more and more rapidly, swirling about in the air. Children are made to dress warmly with snow-suits, boots, scarfs, hats and mittens. There is to be no roller skating today but the children get their sleds and play out doors. With these days of all kinds of weather, no wonder everyone has the sniffles and no wonder the doctors are kept busy. communities throoghout the three States of tbjfc Cortos' Area have volunteered to examine candidates without charge. All necessary expenses are paid by the Government. These include transportation to camp and re- turn, with meajs en route. At carnp the youths receive wholesome food, uniforms, athletic equipment, laundry service, medical attention, and other accommodations without charge.

Sounding a call for more volun- teers for this summer's Citizens' Military Training Camps, Army Headquarters on Governors Island, New York Harbor, announced Saturday that 5600 young men of New York, New Jersey, and Dela- ware had filed application to at- tend. Seventy-seven hundred ap- plicants are sought. Vacancies exist in virtually all seven encampments for which candidates of the Second Corps Area are eligible, it was said. The camps, each operating for thirty days, are to be held during July and August.
