STUDENTS HAVE FIVE WEEKS IN PROHIBITION IDEA CONTEST

Only five weeks remain for students who wish to enter the editorial competition that the Intercollegian is conducting to obtain constructive student opinion on the liquor question. Although the competition does not close until April 20, 1932, it is first necessary to have the essay published in a local paper or magazine, preferably a college publication.

The recent contest to determine the problem of disarmament brought excellent suggestions that even authorities had never proposed from the undergraduate body of American colleges. The essay must not be a rehashing of trite truths that 12 years of prohibition have brought to our attention, but an intelligently handled discussion of the issues involved, the strength and weaknesses of various plans, and a practicable, constructive, and original expedient which will solve the problem.

The editorial that discusses the liquor question most capably will receive the first award of $40. For the second prize there is a cash award of $25, $15 for the third, and two prizes of $10 each will be given for fourth and fifth places.

The printed editorial as it appears in a publication must reach the Editorial Contest Editor of the Intercollegian, S. G. Madison Avenue. New York City, before midnight April 20, 1932. Editorials should not exceed 500 words is length and should be confined to either the national, personal, social, or collegiate phase of the problem.
