YOUR VIEWS HELLISH,'
STUDENT TELLS PEPPER
Young Ralph Cheney Interrupts
Speaker at U. of P. Explain
ing Plattsburg Idea

Ralph Cheney. son of Prof. Edward p.
Cheney. head of the department of history
at the University of Pennsylvania, heckled
George Wharton Pepper at a meeting of
students last night in Houston Hall, where
Mr. Pepper came to explain the Plattsburg
idea.
Mr. Pepper had made his speech and
asked if any one wanted to ask him Ques-
tions. The young radical arose and queried
How con you reconcile Christianity with
Plattsburg?"
The speaker answered:
I'VE are stewards of every quality of
our being. | believe in moral suaslon as
far as possible. but If that fails nothing
remains but force. Physical strength ts a
God-given attribute and force in emergency
Is part of Gods plan. Law. order and
government are organizations of force"
Cheney got up again and said
Mr. Pepper. l think your view of this
matter is hellsh."
The answer was:
well, of course, can't convince you,
young man, because you won't be con-
vinced."
Cheney said, sincerely and not sarcasti-
cally:
We'll, thank you very much" and Mr..
Pepper closed the debate with:
mo thanks at all necessary"
The students had warned Cheney not to
come to the meeting But, they said, he
sneaked in when the lights were low, He
hurried out as soon the meeting was
over and before n band of sophomores-
his own classmen-could get him. They
intended to treat him right" Once when
Alfred Noyes lectured at the University
and he interrupted, he was caught later and
lost his hair under the clipping shears
There wasn't to be anything so mild this
time.

EVANS SCHOLARSHIPS
CANCELLED BY U. OF p

Continued from Page One
vania will hold in allegiance the grant
ing or renewal of scholarships in the
dental course until definite and final
agreement on scholarships is entered
into by the two boards.
1t was explained at the University that
the Committee on Scholarships felt 1t neces-
sary to take this course because the Uni
versity could not afford to pay actual
money for the holders of scholarships in
the dental school. The University grants
about 500 scholarships each year. but it
does this simply by canceling the tuition
fees.
1t would be willing to grant dental school
students scholarships in the same way. but
1t feels II cannot afford to pay their tuition.
and that is what it would have to do to
continue the scholarships in the dental
school; paying University funds over to
the board of trustees of the Evans Insti.
tute.
The provost decided to notify the students
affected. so that they might make the nee
essary arrangements by next autumn, in
case the two boards. of trustees fail to reach
an understanding favorable to the students.
The provost indicated, in his statement. that
the matter would be further considered by
the boards.
Henry Rainey, secretary of the board of
trustees of the Evans Institute, said the
subject would be considered at the board
meeting June |. He said he thought the
two boards would get together on the
question. all right" but he wasn't prepared
to predict just how satisfactorily for the
students the question would be settled.

to make his "clock" register a scent fare
yesterday morning, Jeremiah O'Neill, a con-
