'Obscene' Movies Cause Suspension of Two Sooners
Prominent Student Ouster for Entertaining Co-eds With Questionable Picture Show
CITY HAS NO CHARGES
Norman, Dec. 3. — (UP) Two under-graduate theoretical impressions were suspended from the University of Oklahoma today because University authorities considered their motion picture production obscene.
The two were arrested Thursday night when two university watchmen broke into a fraternity house packed with student spectators. The film managers were taken to the city jail. The reel was seized.
No names were mentioned in the bulletin issued today by Dean S. W. Reeves, of the university disciplinary committee. Investigation of city police records however disclosed the names.
Suspended for School Year
At the city jail it was revealed that George Miskovsky, junior law student from Oklahoma City, and Jack Williams, also of Oklahoma City, had been arrested for investigation of obese motion picture exhibitions.
"Two students have been suspended for the duration of the school year for showing obscene motion pictures," Dean Reeves announced.
City officials pondered what charges could be brought. They had about decided that the only way to prosecute was on the charge of "attempting to evade the city amusement tax." But after a preview of the film they decided to turn the students over the university for disciplinary action.
Mikowsky was president of the men's council last year. He also was president of Blue Key, university leadership society. He was Oklahoma welterweight amateur wrestling champion member of the University wrestling team and a leader of the Ruf Neka, a student ppl organization.
Miskovsky Student Leader
Officers who investigated the case said they learned that the students had rented the film from an Oklahoma City drug store for $12.50.
They were said to have done a profitable business giving exhibitions at dormitories with a 10-cent admission charge. The night stands were played at fraternity houses where a 25-cent admission was charged.
Colorful Fowls Attend Bal
Present of Lawyers Breaks Up Wyoming U. Engineer's Dance
Laramie, Wyo., Dec. 3-Fort- eighty-colored but indigent pigments and 16 just as colorful and enraged chickens precipitated a near riot at the formal ball of the engineering school of the University of Wyoming here last night.
The chickens and pigeons died in the local ball on Monday in the ball as the party was at its height. Some of the dyes were not dry and that helped matters none.
Today the engineers divided their time between fuming and washing off the dyes.
It was a revival of the feud between the law school and the engineers. It put the lawyers about three up. Last year the lawyers announced the identity of the queen of the engineer hall a day before the engineers had prepared to make the change. But they kidnapped the president of the engineers, and returned him strapped stop a mule while the hall was in progress.

Washington, Dec. 3—(UP)—Restoration of the two-cent postage rate and other sweeping changes in the nation's postal system is underway at the House postoffice committee next week.

1. An immediate return of the two-cent rate for first-class mail in an attempt to "end part of the losses of revenue caused by falling off of patrolage due to the three-cent rate or birth of looting postal service."
2. An end to the system of paying for private architectural services or government buildings 'which allow the architect a premium for squandering rather than saving the government' money."
3. An end to the present postoffice leasing system and establishing a program for government ownership of all post offices with rentals total more than $60,000 a year.
4. Establishment of a new system of buying department and construction supplies which will be "in the best interests of the United States as opposed to the present policies that preclude popular bidding and make for extravagance and additional postal debits."
