Racial Bias May Affect Hawaii Now
A Hawaiian student said that racial discrimination in Congress may be Hawaii's only problems as a new state. Four other Hawaiian students told The Daily Kansan they do not think Hawaii will be hurt in any way by statehood.
Ermile Kodani, Honolulu sophomore, said:
"Since we already must pay taxes and our men are eligible for the draft, I can't think of any other disadvantages of Hawaiian statehood.
"The only disadvantage I see is that there might be some dissent in Congress because of our race." Orientals outnumber Caucasians in Hawaii four to one.
Walter Chee. Honolulu special student, said he believes the Islands will derive only benefit from state-bood.
"I cannot see any disadvantages to statehood. We have been paying $166 million in taxes. This was taxation without representation, and now we will have that," he said.
Mrs. Frances McNellis, Deerfield senior and native Hawaiian, said she sees no disadvantages.
"I think it is about time we got statehood. I'm not as enthusiastic as many, perhaps. I cannot see any disadvantage and I think that since now we will get some representation for our tax money, that is the big thing."
"Oh yes, Hawaii might be able to

'Fowl Editor Says
Issue Coincides With Administration Ideas
By John Husar
Bill Barr, Burkett, Tex., sophomore and editor of the severely-criticized campus humor magazine, "The Fowl," debunked the idea of administration censorship of the recent issue.
Barr said he did attend a meeting in the office of Ray Nichols, executive secretary of the University, along with two other members of the ASC publications committee, before publication of the magazine.
Greeks Have Lead in Grade Average Contest
By Tom Hough
Are soronities and fraternities conducive to better grade-point averages in college? The undergraduate scholarship report for the fall of 1958 indicates they are.
All sororities averaged 1.71 grade-points. All women averaged 1.58. This means the independent women averaged less than 1.58 grade-points last semester.
Records of independent students are not kept as such, but a study of the facts gives a fairly clear picture.
All fraternities averaged 1.31 grade points. The all-men average was 1.28. Obviously the independent men are averaging less than 1.28.
One independent student said the reason for the higher sorority and fraternity grade-points averages was that "files" are kept in the houses.
(The "files" are past tests, term papers, and reports that have been written and handed in for course assignments by fraternity and sorority members.)
It seems the men are not keeping up with the "weaker sex," as the women averaged 3. grade-point higher.
A fraternity man said the reason for the higher grade-point average in fraternities was that fraternities enforced study hours.
One thing is sure: the Greeks are leading the independents in over-all scholarship.
He said there was no conflict at this meeting, for the administration's ideas were those he would have used anyway.
The Daily Kansan Friday said:
Dana "A strong hint of administration guidance in publishing the new campus humor magazine, 'The Fowl,' has developed since the magazine made its appearance yesterday."
"The only censorship was of three jokes," he said. Barr attributed the cuts to the magazine's faculty adviser, Kenneth Merrill, instructor of business.
"My editorial function was to eliminate what would be offensive to most readers," Mr. Merrill was quoted yesterday.
Barr said the story in Friday's Kansan, writter by Robert Harwi, misouquoted him.
Regarding the Daily Kansan story, Barr admitted to making only one of the published statements. Furthermore, that was only printed in part, he charged.
He was referring to the passage,
"I put it out the way the administration wanted it put out." Barr claims that the statement should have continued to the effect that his and the administration's opinions were the same.
He also acknowledged an indirect quotation saying that the administration "gave definite ideas on 'what it (the magazine) was to be.'"
All other quotations ascribed to him are false and misleading, Barr contended.
When asked what the administration's "definite ideas" concern-
