"There Is a sense of laxity on the
part of the American people, a dis¬
regard and a disrespect for law,” said
Dr. J. M. Broady, pastor of the Sixth
Avenue Presbyterian Church, in his
address on "Law" in chapel last Fri¬
day. i
Speaking of the Increase in crime
ia this country, Dr. Broady quoted the
following statement of President
Hoover from his third speech since be¬
coming Chief Executive:
“Human life and property is more
unsafe in the United States than in
any other civilised country of the
world."
“In 1850 we were the most* law-abid¬
ing people in the world — today the
President of the United States indicts
us as the most lawless nation on the
globe," declared Dr. Broady.
“There are 350,000 people in the
United States who make their living
through crime,” he continued, “and
that army of lawlessness costs the na¬
tion ten billion dollars.”
“There are 118,000 people who hare
destroyed human life now out of Jan
and walking free and unshackled."
Concluding his address. Dr. Broady
attacked the citizens who evade jury
duty, and pleaded for a greater re¬
spect of law and order.

We, the members of Kappa Chap¬

nounce that henceforth we will not
be allied with any organlxatlona for
a so-called “line-up.” We do not ap¬
prove of political parties, and ex¬
pect to vote aa Individuals for the
moat competent person.
In order to dispute questionable
rumors we take this public ntand.
We fully understand that by doing
thia we may not obtain offices in
the near future. But we are striv¬
ing for something^ higher than of-
olees without merit — a prestige
worthy of Alpha Delta PI.

The "Roaring Revue" was, accord-

' The best show that has been staged

The Revue was staged on Wednee-

lored this Revue for the benefit of

rom Howard College, Birmingham-
iouthern College. Birmingham debu-
antes and from the Lions Club.
Howard’s part on the program was

vas laid in Old Mexico, was put on
ilmoet entirely by Howard. Then
landing girls of a later scene that was

The show must always go on with-
mt any pauses or breaks and it can-
iot do so unless the stage is ready,

Birmingham-Southern contributed
in equal quota of actors to the show
