“IGNORANCE NO DEFENSE” DePauw’s representative on the bench of the United States Supreme Court, Willis VanDeventer, who entered college here in 1877, pleaded ignorance of one provision of the game law, in Maryland, Saturday, but the game warden reiterated the dictum which Justice VanDeventer himself had doubtless used hundreds of times: “Ignorance of the law is no defense. Justice VanDeventer was charged ■vith not having $1 stamp on his hunting license, when he went after ducks. The 77-year-old jurist said he did not know that a stamp should have been attached to his license when he .vent shooting last month in Virginia. But Ira N. Gabrielson, chief of the Surcau of Biological Survey, indicated that ignorance of the law was no excuse. Gabrielson said the bureau had recommended that a charge be filed. "We make no exceptions for persons of prominence,” said Gabrielson. George King, a game warden, reported the judge lacked the stamp required on all hunting permits on Dec. 8 while hunting at Beimont Bay. "We had not shot any ducks, and I offered to go to a nearby post office and get one at once,” the justica said he told the game warden. “The inspector said it was not necessary He said to get one when we finished shooting.” VanDevanter is ranged in the "conservative” bloc of the Supreme Court.

NORMAN, Okla., Jan. 18. — A flunking fine for failing students at the University of Oklahoma was described by President W. B. Bizzell today as an experiment to lift student grades—not to enrich the school

treasury.

The $3 fine each semester hour failed goes into effect this second semester. The estimated total was placed at more than $12,000. “There is no interest in the money at all as far as the university is concerned,” Dr. Bizzell explained. “The hope is that it will stimulate students to pass their courses.’’ Students last spring semester fail1 ed in almost forty-five hundred ! hours. Of the 1,183 who failed, only i 13 per cent of them were women. The student body apparently does- | n’t mind imposition of the fine, camI pus leaders said.

( OLD JANUARY WEATHER, SIXTY-TWO YEARS AGO

The editor of the Banner in 1875, sixty-two years ago, wrote a story of the weather of January 8, that years, which he set up as a mark that had not been equalled, not even the very cold snap of the noted “cold of | New Year” of 1864, when a million or more* American soldiers of both the blue and the gray were in camps or on battle fields, with but little or no protection from the cold, many of them freezing to death. The coldness of the January of 1864 and of 1875 interests us especially now, because of the openness of the January

weather so far this year.

The Banner of January 14, 1875,

says.

“Last Saturday was the coldest day that has been experienced in this climate for many years, perhaps within the memory of the ‘oldest inhabitant.’ “On the memorable first day of January, 1864, for a short time the thermometer showed a lower temperature than at any time on this last Saturday, but the ‘coolness’ was not so continued. “Friday night, the weather was still pleasant, but about that time it began to snow and blow. In a few hours the mercury dropped from 18 above to 21 below zero. At no time Saturday night was it higher than 8 below. On Sunday, it was 16 below. “What made the weather more stinging was the fact that on the previous day and for some time before, the weather had been quite mild—25 degrees above at times. The cold was very general throughout the country. At Omaha, Neb., the theimometer indicated 38 below and at some points still lower.” Turning to the issue of the Banner which was the first following the cold New Year’s day of 1864, in the bound volume which was available to the w’riter—that which is in the Greencastle city library—in an ef-
