Hill Students Rise in Defense Of Sour Owl
Opinions Are Expresses Regarding the Character of Traditional Humor Publication
The drooping Sour Owl, chagrin and abused by the Administration bond recently placed upon it, was somewhat revised yesterday when University students rose in defense of the ruffled old bird and intimated that even its hoops seem to be visible squawk no others, its voice is sweet to them.
The bond was placed after University officials had received complaints from outsiders as to the character of the compus human publication.
Many and varied were the statements made by students in defense of the publication when asked if they thought that it was too ripe and should be restrained. No students would blast the bird, at least publicly, possibly for fear of adverse criticism from the magazine in the future.
LAWRENCE, KANSAS, TUESDAY, MAY 5, 1936
Many students were of the opinion that there was nothing about the magazine which was too risque or obscene, as witness:
Ada Belle Johns, c38: "I do not believe that it is too squee"
Donald Ames, 'eunet: "I believe that the Owl is perfectly all right and should continue as it has in the past."
Alice Team, c38: "I see nothing to risque about the Sour Owl that should be restrained."
Several students expressed the opinion that the magazine should be judged by the students.
Bill Townsley, "CST: I believe the students of the enjoy学习 the South Side than any other Bill publication. If it is so popular with the students who try
Margaret Pyle, b377. "I do not think the Owl is too risque. It is the student's magazine and if they like it as is, I believe it should be that way."
Milton Allen, c. 1964; "it seems to me that the nature of the Owl is the official humor publication of the University warrants a certain degree of free freedom and independence. Students of University age are being submitted to any undue immorality."
On the Shin
Marlow Sholander, c'36: "The situation is very dishearing. Here we have the Sour Owl bravely striving to keep alive the college spirit idea as the movies have given it to us and yet we still have no idea of the lack of vision to quibble over morality. Who is to shape our destinies Hollywood or the home?"

Americans Hold Fort and Refuse To Leave Though Ethiopian Raiders Continue Attacks
Washington, D.C., May 4—(UP) "The little band of Americans, valiantly fighting marauding Ethiopian savages from the United States legation in Addis Ababa, were ordered tonight to cross Jordan, the heavily fortified British compound."
Secretary of State Cordell Hull radiated instructions to abandon the besieged flag after being advised by British officials that it would be impossible to defend it much longer against the bloodhistry native rioters.
Enzert Refuses
Minister Cornelius Van H. Engert, however, declined to evacuate the legislation except as a last resort, in a return message to Hull.
Hull expressed profound admiration for the courage and resourcefulness shown by Minister Engert and his staff in his determined battle against the pillars, but said the safety of the men should be maintained, and none should hesitate to leave.
Enger had reported he believed he could hold the leagation at least until to-morrow. The defenders had repulsed a morning attempt from a murmulching mok killing or wounding one of the attackers. Two native servants were wounded
Appeal for Assistance
However, the British offered the loan of an armed guard to convey the Americans to greater safety of the British compound, defended by some 200 British Sikh troops and protected by barbed wire.
Engert had appealed for assistance from the British legation. The British minister there, however, advised his government that he would be unable to spare a detachment of Sikh soldiers and a machine gun asked by the Americans.
The British government called attention to the serious situation existing in the country, and it has already been made on the Turkish, French, and Belgians, as well as the United States.
100 Europeans have been killed and 300 wounded in the fighting accompanying attacks on the city. American women and children already have evacuated to France.
Ten Europeans Killed
