COLLEGES N 0 I
SO BAD AS They
A R Z PICTURED

WINONA LAKE, Ind, Aug. 18 Up
Conditions in the colleges and uni
versities are not nearly SCI bad as they
have been pictured, it was said by
speakers at the Young Peoples rally
conducted by the Inter Collegiate
Prohibition ASSOCIATION in session here
today.
This was a preliminary meeting to
the congress of the world league
against alcoholism which formally
opened tonight.
veteran prohibitionists who are Of
ficers in the association and student
workers IN the dry cause asserted that
the great body of American students
are dry but they are grossly misrep-
represented in the public press by the
activities and misconduct Of few.
Many Students drink for the sake
Of adventure, declared George Doug
lass student secretary of the organi-
zation Inc desire to try a forbid
den article, to learn what caused its
banishment; to be able to get it from
a bootlegger; the dare of putting it
across" against the ban of the law, is
great sport for some students, the
speaker explained. However, little or
much this may be, he said, it stands
out wildly in the absence of the more
serious conditions Of the pre-prohibi-
ton period.
The remedy for present day condi-
tions in Vie colleges, it was pointed out,
is thorough education in prohibition
and plans have been perfected for
inaugurating such a program.
Posterity shall ultimately live in a
world as intolerant of Intoxicating
beverages as of the white slave traffic,
Lotion S. Wesley, another student Sec
retary, said.
