Following this logic, 11ichigan'sI
legislature has placed habitual vi;)-
lators of the prohibition acts upon
an equal footing with those who
habitually commit felonies. At-
tempts to mitigate the force of
such laws through faulty execution
can only be frowned upon.,
Legislatures exist to make laws,
and courts exist to determine their;
constitutionality. It is before these
bars that an honorable opposition
will place its case and rest con-

George - Huff, the Illinois athletic
director, is author of a movement
to promote better sportsmanship
and good feeling in the Big Ten,
especially in respect to the booing
and hissing prevalent at Confer-
ence basketball games last fall.
With this in mind, a code of ten
rules designed to eliminate un-
sportsmanlike conduct was drawn
up and adopted by Illinois stu-
dents.
The action seems very com-
mendable and undoubtedly a step
in the right direction. How well
it will work out is a matter of
some conjecture. For one thing,
its success at basketball games in
particular is very much to be
doubted.
Basketball, involving very close
and strenuous personal combat,
arouses more varied emotions ini
the spectators than -any other
sport. It is rather hard to picture
