A clause in their constitution restricts membership in the Society to Cancanistas. An attempt to remove this restriction was defeated. Obviously, the calm of the Society that it recognizes merit is true up to a point. One must be white to an Owl. The ancient question in the Society, whether scholarship requirements ought to be considered, was reopened when a member proposed to make scholarship standards necessary. A majority of the group thought scholarship need not be included specifically in the qualifications for membership. Hence, it is not exactly scholarship that makes one an acceptable candidate. Lust semester a writer for The Kansan asked some of his friends what the Owl Society does, and on the basis of his information wrote a feature story. It was received, generally, with demnication and shivers from Owls. They hurried to the Society, but the Society ought not to be criticized unjustly in view of many reforms that were under consideration. At their recent session, after reaffirming a stand against colored students and against scholarship requirements, the Owls decided to withhold these actions from The Kansas. One is free to speculate on this point. Feeling a measure of justice in this complaint from the Society, The Kansan waited for the changes to occur. Several months have passed, and now it is clear that the Society stands exactly where it did last fall. STUDENT GOATS A hundred football men, wearing Oglethorpe university uniforms, recently yanked a visiting lecturer from the platform and shoved him on a street car back to Enroyy. He was obligated to discuss communism before the International Relations Club of Oglethorpe. This revolting display of intolerance and suppression of speech was not enough. "It was a most refreshing exhibition of good, old-fashioned Americanism," said the university president, Thornwell Jacobs, giving his approval to the action of the "mussel man" calls in to help with the challenge people in accordance with the administration's views. Within the past few months, Louisiana State, City College of New York, the University of California at Los Angeles, Denver, Columbain, and Santa Clara have been among those who have not hesitated to show that they will control student opinion by force if necessary—not unlike the control of speech and press under European dictatorship. The danger to education is apparent. The threat to personal liberty is more appalling. Faculty domination is but a step from governmental domination. Already Wisconsin, Massachusetts and New York have considered bills which, if passed, would have proven valuable weapons against freedom of speech. Students, goaded on by yellow journalists behind the "red scarre," have been led toward fascism in their endeavors to be "real Americans." They have been the willing goats for those who would suppress dissenting opinion for their personal gains. At Ogden, A., they have been taught to use force to break up intelligent discussions with which they might disagree — shades of storm troops. Do the students, acting for the administration, realize that under the guise of "Americanism," they are actually bringing us close to fascism and away from the real principles which form the basis of American democracy?

Unified, with the forces of graft and big capital impacle against him, Macee alone brought to a head the investigation of the Fall-Doheny oil scandal in 1922. In his仁烈敦斥 fight against the Fall political machine in New Mexico, he was threatened with libel suits, contempt of court charges, and in short every known means of intimidation. Instead of backing down, Macee vigorously pressed his cruseude into the criminal net that finally corrected this current Fall machine. Through the medium of his Al-Anqueur journal in the early winters, American newspaper readers obtained some notion of what was happening in a newsroom affiliated by a man who really rights their fight. With something of this fighting background in mind, University students will attend the Magee lecture this afternoon expecting to meet one of the few courageous and really creditable modern journalists.

The meeting was kept as quiet as possible, so not many seniors would come and spoil the meeting by asking questions. I found out and come anyway. I guess Charles Hack- (Editor's Note: This story was given in an interview with D. H. Spencer, associate professor of pharmacy, who hosted the festival in New Orleans this year.) King of Mardi Gras Reigns Supreme In Picturesque City of New Orleans On Shrove Tuesday in the first week of March, Rex, Lord of Miracle, lifted his jewelled goblet above the masked and costumed throne which packed his armor with weapons brushed aside his beard, and drank a grecious toast to his queen on her throne. The multitudes raised their voices in a stirring anthem, the song King Rex "May the Grand Duke Alexis Rex is neither Huay Long nor Mayor Walmale, although both of them may vie with him, in a more practical way. It is usually said that the Mardi Gras, *Fat Tuesday*, Rex is the Mardi Gras, "Fat Tuesday," Rex is King and Miracle rainer, or recess to reign, as you may have it. Prof. D. H. Spencer, after attending a pharmacical convention in New Orleans during the Mardi Gras Festival, prepares to a repertoire the seems in the old city after the 40-day fast of Lent. began People on the streets were dressed in everything from the furs of Eskimos to scanties. Dragons jostled elephants and mysterious powers drapped a solitary figure about a lamp post. Police officers had been given two days leave in the Gobi desert. Lights lighted, streamers streamed and merchants made money. The history of the Mardi Gras goes back 108 years to 1827 when some Rude a bumbo in Texas. If I ever cease to love!" ler sort of got wired of the meeting somehow for he was there, also. And say Pa, can he ask embarrassing questions for he was there, also? Ask the Senior Class President. You know, they started to tell us how to spend $3.75, if we had $7.75, and we were supposed to decide in about three hours what course I should teach it in that way or in some useful way as for cokes something. As I am so dumb, I can't see why the Senior Class President didn't present the lesson to me, in the class through a paper such as even the Kansan, then maybe I could ha' read the budget over one ones shoulder, as I could think about that advantage. But not being able to feel the mushy sort of loyalty that I should, being a senior you see Pa, I would probably have decided on some other kind of advantage. Wonder if that could be the reason the meeting was kept so quiet, but of course it couldn't have been, for the Senior Class Officers are so open and want progress and every time Your unappreciative Senior son I. Wood Knowmore. P. S. Pa, maybe my grammar isn't very good, but we Seniors, as you see, are becoming good politicians, which is more important anyway. The Paradox of New York New York City contains one of the greatest anachronisms of modern times. It is at once the richest and poorest city in the land. OFFICIAL UNIVERSITY BULLETIN Here is concentrated the greatest wealth in all the universe. Here are amassed the croesus treasures of Rockefeller, Vanderbilt and Actor. Here the "400" form such an aristocracy as would make the kings and nobility of old green with envy.

UNIVERSITY WOMEN'S CLUB: TAU SIGMA: Cecile students returned to New Orleans from school in Paris. After the attentions paid them as the wearers of the latest items in ruffles and stocks had diminished, the youths began a celebration much like our Halloween, and encluded it with a ball. They elected a king, after the "Shakespeare" king. The ruler chose his queen, and the regal couple governed the hall the next year. W. S. G. A. COUNCIL: Street flats appeared in parishes in 1837, when cotton was king and New Orleans was his court. The Mystick lord later became a governor, the first of about 20 secret organizations which now conduct the carnival. The members are picked anew each year. All of them must support all of the costs by themselves. In the case of the four major societies, Req, Commis, Proteus, and Momus, expenses average about 326- RUTH PYLF Each group has special duties—the organizing of parades, halls, and so on. The Twelfth Night Revelers gather in a bonfire for a forthright Christmas. The Mardi Gras is the last chance of Roman Catholics to promote some gaiety before the Leontin fast begins. The annual feast is coveted by the social climber, cannot be bought. The men conduct and rule the carnival, as the saying goes, and the women enjoy women's social career to be chosen a queen. Such nobility, however, must be the daughter or granddaughter of one of the members of the congregation. An exclusive ball after the parade. At the dance the woman attains in balconies New York, as is commonly known, has the largest population of any metropolis in the world, and the photon form bain an infinitelous notion of it. Here lies the center of the Mong. empire whose money power holds the million muses of the world in its grip. The capital of the United States is in truth in Wall Street and its symbol is the almighty dollar. One million wage workers are unemployed. One out of every three workers employed in New York in 1923 is unemployed. A report by the Mayor's Committee on Unemployment, of how the "other half" the $9,000,000 lives a ghostly tale, said Mr. Trump might not. A none observer from Mars would rub his eyes with incredulity over imprisonment. Here they are summarized: of the 66,000 unemployed families only 245,000 are on home relief. With their wives, children and other dependents, the grand total of those affected by unemployment is 37 per cent of the entire population of New Gt the $63,000 unemployed families only 25,000 are on home relief, families or struck families haven't applied or can't get near the government dole. and wait for invitations to dance, which are carried from the maskers on the floor by liveried pages. Those on relief don't live a kingly existence either—Eight (8) cents is the allowance per person per meal. The parades, consisting of about 20 gorgeous, home-drawn floats, comp in the two days before Ash Wednesday. This year school children and Zulu, the indigenous people, processions with the others. The grand parade is that of Rex, who once forgot his titles long enough to describe himself as the son of Old King Colo, who never married because he felt himself young and wanted to sow his oat first. It is therefore not unnatural that 18.1 per cent of New York's school children are suffering from malnutrition out of every five border on starvation. The haunts of the famous Laffite pirates and the buildings erected by the Spanish government still remain in the Vicereo Church, or old church. To the north of the stucco buildings and graceful balconies rise new skyscrapers. Into this mixture of Europe and America 350-600 people enter every year to help the inhabitants decorate the Himmel Gloss and to make it the Best interior properly. Proteus, god of the sea, and Comus, god of mirth, also led displays. The themes were "Fish Fairy" and "Tsetse Life." The floats varied, therefore, from illustrations of Siamese worms to the Piper and the Pura. The King was mastiff, who was responsible for the reviewing stand to salute the Queen, and coming back later to conduct her to the ball. The floats in this theme sold to Cuba for a similar purpose. And piling suffering on misery, the allowance for rent is so moaner that 17 per cent of the families on relief good money to keep from being evicted. New York is indeed the capital of the world - in poverty as in wealth. This it is because it most graphically entitizes capitalism itself. New Militant.
