Butler Students
Conservative in
Political Vices

INDIANAPOLIS. March Coon
trary 10 the general opinion that
college students are little biz more
or less advanced in their views on
politics. religion. sociology. econom-
les and every other OF the more inn
pOrtant sciences Of life. a question
naire answered in class of history
since 1914 at Butler College recently
showed otherwise.
The professor i'm charge. Wilmer
G. Harris. head of the Butler Col
lego history department, asked his
students to suggest constitutional
changes which they believed essen
tial 20 the progress and continued
success Of the United States govern
mcnt.
The answers. according 10 Prof.
Harris, were Surprisingly conserva-
tive" a number of the students did
not want any change at all in the
present constitution, as drafted more
than a century and a quarter ago
and amended frequently since that
time.
Several OF the students suggested
that the judicial system be made
more responsive TO the people rec
ommending varied remedies it was
said. One favored appointment of
judges for six years only. Another
proposed TO give congress more
powers in removing judicial officers.
Another marveIed at the fact that
the supreme power Of the United
States Supreme Court 10 declare
constitutional measures constitution
al or unconstitutional is nowhere in
cluded i'm the constitution itself
one suggestion was that proposed
laws be submitted 10 the Supreme
Court before being finally acted
upon by congress. Most of the stu
dents agreed that some supreme
court system is necessary and hes
itated to give either the judicial
power TO congress or to direct vote
Of the people, declaring the SUI
preme Court to be a conservative
check necessary to preservation OF
the government.
A semi-cabinet form of govern
ment was favored by some who said
they believed that congressman
should be elected on issues and not
for definite terms of office Refer
endum in cases of a cabinet crisis
was favored and it was pointed
out that the president as the chief
/ executive should be leader Of the
majority faction I'm the senate.

Rheumatism is no rcspecter OF age

all, drink lots Of pure water.
Rheumatism is caused by uric acid
which is generated in the bowels and
absorbed into the blood. It is the
function of the kidneys to filter this
acid from the blood and cast it oIt
in the urine; the pores of the Skin
are also a means of freeing the blood
OF this impurity. In damp and chilly.
cold weather the skin pores are close. :
thus forcing the kidneys to do double
work. they become weak and sluggish
and fail to eliminate this uric aci6
which keeps accommodating and circu-
lating through the system, eventually
settling in the joints and muscles
causing stiffness. soreness and pain
called rheumatism.
