A nation wide movement in American colleges in support of the enforcement of the Eighteenth Amendment has culminated in a Students' Conference to be held in Washington on April 5 and 6. Delegates will attend from most of the principal colleges throughout the country to discuss the question.

J. P. Hubbard '26 and E. G. Lowry '25 have been chosen to represent the University at the conference, according to W. I. Tibbets '17, who is a member, of the Conference Convening Committee. Lowry and Hubbard will leave tomorrow night and will attend the exercises during Saturday and Sunday.

This meeting is being organized by the Student Citizenship Association which recently held a conference in Boston. The Washington Assembly, however, will be wider in scope, and the discussion will be confined to the extent of the violation of the Volstead Act and the methods of stimulating in colleges a distinct sentiment against such lawlessness.

President Coolidge, Senators Borah and, Glass, and Federal Commissioner Haynes will be among the speakers at the conference. Patrick Malin, a student at the University of Pennsylvania, is chairman of the conference and Geroge Stuart of Yale is secretary. They have both been active in organizing previous conferences on this and other subjects and the assembly at Washington will be the culmination of similar meetings held all over the country.
