Your adequate article in today's CRIMSON on the Minn. Moratorium Case touches upon a point which warrants further discussion. For the decision in this case again opens the question as to what branch of the government is to determine when an emergency ceases to exist. In Chastleton Corp. v. Sinclair (264 U.S. 543, 1924), the Court said that it is "open to the Courts to inquire whether the exigency still existed upon which continued operation of the law depended."

Continuing our inquiry, it is natural to ask what influence the legislature is to have in determining the existence of an emergency. In the well-known case of Block v.

How many times a session will the Court be called upon to enter upon the question of the existence of the emergency?

The most likely answer is that the Courts will place more and more reliance upon the opinion...

I am a firm believer in intramural athletics; for there should be some outlet for those undergraduates who like to indulge in athletic games but either have not the ability or else the desire to be on a varsity...
