Close on the heels of the completion of lively sessions by the Model League of Nations, in the midst of similar gatherings of the Model Constitutional Convention, and jumping the gun on the Model Congress of the United States scheduled for the heat of Milwaukee's July, came word at a late hour last night, of plans for the holding of a Model Supreme Court on June 8, 9, and 10.
On the first day a membership drive for the Court will be held, in an effort to build its membership up to proper levels. The methods used by modern armies of increasing enlistment will be used, with inducements to live in Washington and the beauties of District of Columbia womanhood being emphasized.
The second day will be devoted to a model sitting of the Court as it is today. This meeting, to be held in Holden Chapel, will be barred to all under 65 years of age, and at it students will take turns in handing down decisions. The best opinion, if accompanied by 25 wrappers, or reasonably accurate facsimiles, will win a prize of two tickets to the coming Wellesley-Dunster House wrestling match (called on account of rain at 1 o'clock this morning--Ed.) but the second prize was cancelled after a meeting with officials of the University appointed to handle such things.
Second Prize Cancelled
The third day will consist of a model session of the Court as eight members of the Judiciary Committee conceive it should be held. This session, barred to anyone over 17 years of age will take place in Memorial Hall. Here the first prize will not be for the best opinion, but for the Model justice who can read "This act, and all further acts of Congress or the Executive are hereafter, and they are now, declared valid" faster than all the other Model justices, or even the model attorneys, or, for that matter, the little bailiffs.
Those in charge of the meeting are W. W. Casper and an unidentified student who asked that his name be withheld anyway.
Radcliffe, and a girls' club known as the "Wild Women from Sarah Lawrence" are joining with the newly organized combined Harvard chapter of the A. F. of L., C.I.O., the left wing of the Liberty League, and Wipers, Oilers, and Tenders Seamen's Union in sponsoring the model movement. The particular function of the women's auxiliary model Court has not been clearly defined as yet, but as Casper, in an exclusive interview at the Ritz Bar, said last night, "Our Plans are young yet; what we want is time to work out the broad general principles of this thing, before we get the stuff ready in detailed fashion. However, we must act NOW, or a Model N.R.A. will beat us to it!"
