no of the best college comics in
ti,p country has always been the aim
and reputation of Awgwan, the Uni-
,o,oitv of Nebraska's funny maga
zine and such a place in the world of
college publications seems probable
for the publication this year. Awgwan's
reputation has always been the best
and lias warranted the large circula
tion that it has had for the past sev
eral years. It is quoted in every maga
zine of any size, the film funnies, na
tionally known comis and has a circle
of friends that reaches to the Atlantic
and Pacific from Canada to Mexico.
"With a staff of men and women
who have been connected with the
publication for the past three years,
this year's monthly funny promises to
be the best edited and most carefully
handled volume of Awgwan during
its many year's of existence as a uni
versity publication. The magazine has
a number of cartoonists and joke
sin it hs that promise to make Judge
and Lite jealous this year. Members of
this year's staff have been quoted In
several of the national publications
and their jokes and cartoons set up
as examples of the best in their line.
or this reason it is firmly believed
that the University comic will, this
ve:n-, gain even a better reputation
than it lias heretofore enjoyed. Places
on ihe comic staff are not distributed
to any and all comers but only to
te who will put in their best of
f. 'i. to make the magazine a larger,

STILL-WELL, Okla., The home
makers cottage at the Oklahoma A.
and M. college here today is complete,
for it has a baby the only essential
which in years before instructors in
home economics have complained was
lacking. David, the college baby, was
adopted this year or rather borrowed,
from the Oklahoma children's home at
Oklahoma City. He is to be kept for
the school year.
Half a dozen senior girls for six
weeks at a stretch will make the
homemakers' cottage their own, cook
the meals, make the beds, prepare
David's diet, make his clothei in
short, play "foster mother" to him
Meanwhile an experienced matron will
keep a practical eye on the cottage
and David.

CHANCELLOR AVERY'S STATEMENT.
My opinion having been asked on the desirability of the
organization of a Ku Klux Klan in the University, permit mo
to say that I have not investigated the national organization
thoroughly and consequently cannot speak from first hand in
formation. I wish to do no organization an injustice, but from
such information as I have gleaned from the newspapers and
from conversation with people familiar with its workings in
other places stieems to me that the organization of a K. K. K.
in Ihe University is highly undesirable.
The University should be characterized by a broad, libetal
spirit of fellowship. Learning knows no distinction based on
race or creed. An organization whose membership is restricted
to "the native born American, white, and protnstant" can
not fail to give offense to many students and patvons who in
facing the common enemy in the late Avar showed their H'O
per cent Americanism on the battlefields in France.
I make no accusation against any interested in promoting
the organization, but the name itself suggests the old mob
violence which I remember disgraced the country in my child
hood days. It seems to me to be at best an unfortunate de
signation if the society is to be really a patriotic one, to stand
for law and order as all true'patriots must.
I have no prejudices against secret organizations and am
myself a member of a number, but I would not be a member
of an organization whose membership list is concealed or one
organized for the purpose of influencing public opinion in any
underground way. Let all 100 per cent Americans show their
Americanism by openly standing for their convictions, not by
trying to work thru an organization that makes secrecy of
membership a basic principle.
This statement represents my personal opinion and for
the present is unofficial. I have no intention of interferring
with the rights of students or faculty to join any lawful organ
ization in the city that they please, but I sincerely hope that
public sentiment in the University will prove to be so unani
mous against forming an organization to be known as the
University Ku Klux Klan that the student who is inclined to
join front high and worthy motives will see the mistake he is
making and, even the professional joiner on the campus will
be discouraged.

REGISTRATION DROP
New Requirement Ruling Cause of Cut Prospects Are Bright for
In Size of Freshman Class
This Year.
The freshman law class is smaller by
twenty per cent than it was last year
'."his results from the additional year of
academic work required for entrance,
and possibly from the startling death
of the rumor fo;merly current, that a
law students life was one of carefree
happiness.
Hean Searcy reports a total regis
tration of two hundred ten in the Law
College. Of this number forty-five arc
seniors, seventy, juniors, and ninety
five are lnshmou. Figures were not.
unite complete and there will probably
be additions. Last year's juniors and
i freshmen base shown their regard for
the coursfs now offered by rc-register-ing
almost unanimously, instead of
c.-.,.,i;nr .i n.'ii't of ihoir members to
eastern universities. Nebraska lias al-
i drawn studmts this year from
many other slates, where our law
! college is being watched and looked
' upon as a. leader.
The first year class boasts a larger
feminine contingent than usual. The
Misses Ilarrietto Ford, Ruth Com
ftocU. Ceargia I'orter, and Josephine
.lack have come to pursue their way
thru legal tangles to the bar. They fol
low the footsteps of Miss Margaret
IUiell, who lias come back this year as
a junior.
Those who planned on being dis
missed after a casual word of greeting
from the nrofessor, and an assignment
for the next period were surprised to
find themselves leaving class at the
end of th& hour with two or three pages
of notes and a well settled idea that
the grind had started.
Another evidence of the narrowing
gate from the law college 1s the fol
owing rule issuing from Dean Seavey's
office. "Anyone who cheats by giving
o r receiving aid during examinations,
shall forfeit all credit for the semester,
end shall be subject to such further
penalty as may be imposed by the fa
culty." This need not bother the real
student of law, and will aid him by
getting rid of the occassional leech or
im poster that slips in
