a
perate need for additional revenue. Secondly, it would of
necessity bear the brunt of the storm of criticism which
undoubtedly would be loosed with the publication of liqui
advertisements. This last, fortunately or unfortunately
as the case may be, would be nothing new in the Collegian's
history and can be disregarded. It is the first point which
will bear scrutiny.
The Collegian'will never sell itself "down the river1
under pressure of financial need. It has never carried an
advertisement which it even remotely suspected might be |
detrimental to the interests of the students of Fresno
State College, and does not intend to. The question
raised, however: would the long run effect of
r advertisements (the "hard" liquors we bar at the
outset) be harmful to the welfare of Fresno State's stu
dent? The Collegian does not believe so.
Claiming on its staff many of thgt nation-wide f ratern
ity which literally drank prohibition off the statute books,
the Collegian has watched carefully the reaction of repeal,
and the swing from hard liquor to what might be termed
relatively "heavenly" wines has not passed unnoticed. In
this latter, repeal has actually brought a new deal for the
collegiate thirst, and is apparently bringing about the
much-sought moderation in drinking.
Let there be no misinterpretations: The Collegian does
not advocate that the students of Fresno State College
take up the pastime of wine,drinking. It doubts that any
advertisements it might carry would cause even one stu
dent to start drinking. But it does seem that the time has |
come for a clear position on the subject of advertising.
There must be a pioneer in every field, and in this in
stance the Collegian volunteers. It proposes to meet every I
argument advanced that the carrying of wine and beer
advertisements in its columns would be detrimental to the |
students of Fresno State College.
The storm of protest will not come from the students, j
unless .the Collegian be greatly mistaken. It will be from
sources outside the college that criticism will come, ant.
the outcome will pretty well decide just what opinion
dictates the policy of the Collegian.
Prohibition by repression was a failure. Can temperance
be achieved by education?
