Sen. Bilbo Expounds White Supremacy In Mississippi
Fanatically afraid that the old South is fast becoming a modern, industrial and more tolerate South. U.S. Senator Theodore Bilbo, Mississippi, sped to Jackson on his "C" card recently to address the state legislature there on the supremacy of the white race in this country and to attempt to restore the waning strict racial hatred against the Negroes. At the height of his passion, Bilbo suggested that American Negroes should be deported en masse to West Africa to rid our country of the racial problem for once and for all.
A current issue of the New Republic magazine went so far as to point that Bilbo had become worked up enough to make the speech in the face of the threat of poll-tax repeal in the South and, too, the possibility is that Southern soldiers, black and white alike, will return home with new ideas on race and politics that won't jive with his own.
The New Republic climaxed its story with the stab that Herr Goebbels of Germany would have found it difficult to add much to the 36-page speech Bilbo gave expounding the supremacy of the white race.
It seems, however, that the Southern gentlemen who are still fighting the Civil war in 1944 (Bilbo, for instance) are fast on their way out of Southern politics, since recent primaries showed fairly conclusively that Claude Pepper and Lister Hill, admittedly two of the best progressive legislators ever produced in Dixie will be renominated for office and will fight vigorously to give the South its-deserved break in the world of industry and remove it from its muddy rut of intolerance and prejudice.D.S.

Rock Chalk Talk
BY D. J.
GILLILAND
Life Is Confusing—Just ask Lucy Graham, Corbinite. Early last week, Lucy had a date arranged with Charles Ise for Saturday night and a big time in Kansas City. So when a masculine voice over the phone a few nights later asked her to celebrate his departure to the Navy Friday night, Lucy insisted on the previous Saturday understanding.
For half an hour she argued the point with the voice, and finally hung up the receiver, muddled, but victorious. It was not until several hours later when Virginia Pfouts came in that Lucy realized the call must have been from Virginia's brother, John Pfouts, Beta. With quaking voice, and visions of a double celebration Saturday night, Lucy straightened things out. The Navy remains uncelebrated.

Into the Business? — It all started because Alice Rose Shanklin wanted "something to love" and brought home a pair of white rats—both female. The pets, securely housed under lock and key, still brought only a lukewarm reception from Chi Omega sisters, but they were accepted, on the condition that they be kept far, far away from "inhabited" parts of the house.
Huls Will Present Recital at 8 Tonight
Barbara Huls, Fine Arts senior from Lawrence, will present her senior recital in violin at 8 p.m. tonight in Fraser theater. She will be accompanied by Max Hughes, graduate student, at the piano.
The program will open with "Arioso" (Bach-Franko) followed by Beethoven's "Romanza in F". Miss Huls will also play the three movements of Bruch's "Concerto, G Minor."
For the final part of the program she will play four numbers: "Ave Maria" (Schubert-Wilhelm); "Spanish Dance" (Granados-Kreisler); "En Bateau" (Debussy-Choisnel); and "Mazurka" (Zazycki).
Inspired by the act, Bobbie Smith and Pat Sigman added another member to the collection, also female. The climax came when Margaret Kreider, via roommate, Sue Diggs, became the proud possessor of the fourth member of the colony—male! Debate now centers around the question, "Will they, or will someone get there with the rat poison first?"

The Realistic Effect — Definitely animal conscious, Chi O's presented a Jungle Club as one attraction at their spring formal Saturday night. Featured was a 4-foot, too-true-to-life Bull snake, draped artistically in the middle of the floor. We're sure it was the rainy weather that caused business to be slow at the Jungle Club Saturday night.

Society Item — The Fleet Men or V-12 gave a formal party recently at the Indian Village. The theme was a ship and various officers were installed to reign throughout the evening. Tea and crumplents were served for refreshment. Electrician mates were noticeable for their short appearance and sudden departure. Editor's note: There are other versions.

Have a Coca-Cola = Skal (HERE'S TO YOU)
... in Iceland or Idaho
Have a "Coke" is the American fighting man's way of saying Here's to you in every clime. It's the high-sign of friendliness. That's why Coca-Cola always belongs in your icebox at home. From the equator to the poles, Coca-Cola stands for the pause that refreshes, has become the global symbol of those who wish well to their fellow men.

It's natural for popular names to acquire friendly abbreviations. That's why you hear Coca-Cola called "Coke".
