Cosmopolitans Have Russian Luncheon
Justin Miller Talks To *Y»
Speaking on "Law Enforcement,” Dean Justin Miller of the Law school addressed the Y. M. C. A. last night at its weekly council dinner held in the Y hut.
“When we, as a people, have come thoroughly to realize that law en- I forcement is not a means of haras- | sing us as individuals, but merely of protecting us and guiding us to a j fuller enjoyment of the fruits of j civilization, then we will find an even greater importance in law enforcement,” Dean Miller declared.
As a means toward more effective law enforcement, Dean Miller proposed more extensive engineering in the sense of systematic development, and more complete education.
“Of course each of the methods of engineering, enforcement, and education must go hand in hand, but as the tirst auu iaol bcccmc more effective, the second will become less necessary and consequently less irritating,” the speaker further explained.
Dean Miller closed his address with an appeal to college men of America to assist wholeheartedly in the problem of law enforcement.
Banjo selections played by Craig Wilson of the Trojan glee club were an additional feature of the meeting.
The Cosmopolitan club held its weekly meeting yesterday, at the International house. This time the luncheon was devoted to Russia. Wain Snow, who traveled abroad last summer, gave a very interesting speech on Russia and its people. Russian atmosphere was created by native music.
The business of the meeting consisted in successfully closing their part in the Community Chest drive. Suggestions for the club emblem were discussed.
The International club has now been accepted and recognized by the Legislative council. The club will continue its active work and, according to Miss Ruth Komuro, vice-president and program chairman, an out door party for the Christmas vacation is being planned.
