X Battalion Editorials ifage 2 )AY, APRIL 14,1950 For the Campus, Street Markers . .U / Last night the Student Senate ap proved unanimously, a resolution favoring the installation of street markers at street intersections on the campus. V; This is but the initial step in the long process which we hope will culminate with the actual installation of attractive street- markers. Had the vote been less emphat ic, had there been opposition voiced to the resolution there could be a reasonable excuse to delay further action on the streetmarker question. / . ; Without unanimous student body sup port,: streetmarkers could be destroyed by unthinking students as fast as they were erected. This would be a costly and fu tile move, i However, with student body support, college authorities are reasonably assured students will not molest signs which would be valuable additions toj the campus. The success of the water tower painting of last year is indicative of what student sup port behind sufch a venture can do. Next year, especially, when thousands of visitor^, in addition to the estimated 60,000 who already visit us will pass thiWgh this campus some clear street marking system would be valuable. With 75th Anniversary functions being carried on through most of the year, the street marker need is already apparent. The Student Senate initiated the street marker resolution last evening. This clears the way for the next level, of con sideration to boost realization of the street marker dream/another step toward its goal. I r A Step Forward for Divorce Law ■ " A special committee of the American Bar Association is studying possible legal corrections to cure the evils in existing American divorce laws. The committee’s purpose, its chairman reports, is not for a “standard” divorce law, but a good working divbrce model. ' Divorce laws in this country are a State-by-state proposition. Great dispar ities exist between states in divorce stat utes. What the American Bar Associa tion’s committee hopes to do is find bet ter ways to Idissolve marriages than now exist. J ~ Migratory^ divorces involving couples who run to another state tQ' untie the marriage knot—to Nevada,^for example /—amount to only three percent of the to tal. It is the 97 percent who divorce at home which worries the Bar Association. . _ This three percent receives dispropor tionate share of publicity and glamor. The remaining 97 percent are those most hurt by divorce. - - \ . The divorce model which the commit tee hopes to draw up will be a plan for conference, investigation, cor <UA id 1 ;/-. dqep probing-^even psychoanalysis if nec essary. Committee chairman Judge Paul W. Alexander of Toledo says, “Applica tions for divorce will not be r called ‘com plaints’ and fhey will not be worded ‘vs’.

There won’t be any lies or smears.” J Jhis seems an almost painless way to dissolve a marriage. The approach sug gested by the nar committee has possi bilities, though prejudice and legal mind edness will impede its broad acceptance. The committee finds that there is no uniform method of handling the financial care for children. The greatest tragedy in divorce is the condition of children caught in the marital dissolution. Their care must be provided for, but present statutes ip most states fail to give them adequate coifaideftitiofi. “* w - * *** This study being made by the Ameri can Bar Association’s special committee is at least a welcome glimmer of light up on'the dark and gloomy horizon of di vorce dilemmas. tive feelings].
