(Doctor of Apple sauce!, which he received from the Oclagah, Okl.. kindergarten, to the much coveted degree of doctor of humanity and letters, Will Rogers refused to accept this degree whicli was offered him by the Oklahoma City university. A wire from Rogers to the Daily Oklahoman makes the following inquiry; "What arc you trying to do make a joke out of college de grees? They are in bad enough re pute as it is without handing 'em around to comedians. The whole honorary degree thing is the hooey.' I saw some college giving Mellon one, and he is a million bucks short.

PARTY NEEDS COED VOTE Neal S. Gomon, president of the Yellow Jacket faction, in a state ment issued Tuesday evening fol lowing the counting of the .votes in the student council and publi cations board elections, expressed disappointment in the poor show ing made by th3 minority faction. "In no case was any Yellow Jacket candidate defeated by an overwhelming majority but the showing of the taction preierence voting was very disappointing," Gomon said. "The absence of a large Yellow Jacket faction vote was due, undoubtedly, to the action of the A. W. S. board in demand ing that sorority women refrain from voting the party ticket," the faction leader stated. "Heretofore the Yellow Jacket faction has depended to a great ex tent upon the sorority vote. When the A. W. S. board made its de mands of the sorority women not to vote a party ballot the Yellow Jackets lost all chance of gaining contested positions on the Student council. "Despite the fact that the Yel low Jackets were deprived of the female vote the showing of the fac tion itself was anything but en couraging. The lack of votes was probably due to the feeling that without the woman's vote the pos sibility of winning the election was remote and a waste of energy to vote. "This feeling was especially prevalent during the late hours of the day when it became generally known that the A. W. S. board had taken its action concerning prefer ential voting. "The Yellow Jackets In no way, however, intend to retire from ac tive politics. The faction wishes to express Its thanks to its sup porters during the election and during the campaign." iSSWRSlIS TO JUDGE CONTEST Home Ec Acting Head Will Consider Meat Essay Competition.

Plans remain indefinite in rr gard to whether or not the Judg- j ing pavilion on the agricultural j college campus, which was se- I verely damaged by fire- last Frl-, day, 'will be rebuilt. Dean W. W. Burr of the college of agriculture Is out of town for the rest of the week, and probably no plans will be made until he returns. No insurance was carried on the building because state buildings cannot be Insuied according to law. Probably any expenditures on the tepalr or rebuilding of the structure will necessitate an ap propriation by the leglslatuie. Whatever plans are made will be subject to the approval of the tXKTti of regents. No date has been set for the next meeting of the boarl but It is likely that some proposal will be submitted to that body for action when It meets. Satisfactory arrangement have been made for classes which ordi narily meet In the Judging pavilion to meet In othet buildings. Instruc tors with offices in the burned building have also been moved to temporary quarters for the rest of the semester.

The most sensational anjle of j the election m that the Barbs, al though they would ordinarily be I entitled to two council members I under proportional representation, will fu t no one. Robert Kelly, pres ident of the Student council, has thrown out the Barh slate because 'they passed out handbills. His statement follows: Declare Barbs Ineligible. "Before counting tile ballots yes terday afternoon the Studmt. council election committee by unanimous decision declared all ndidates of the barb faction in eligible on account of violation of rules governing student elections. It was decided that the adoption of the new constitution by the stu dents last Thursday did not void these rules which are published in the university catalog. "The committee leels. however, that the non-fiaternity students should be represented on the ne' Student council to the extent el their vol ing strength at the elec tion yesterday. The committee be lieve that to dtprive them from representation would seriously im pair the etfiiicncy of the council under the new constitution. For that reason it recommends to the newiy elected Student conned that it seat two members of the baili faction, the members to be named in a manner that shall satisfy Im4Ii the council and the officers ol the faction." NASH MAKES STATEMENT. Delphin Nash, president of the barb faction, late last night made the following statement regarding the decision of the student council: "The barb fac tion stands by what it has done and contends it is not within the right or power of the stu dent council committee to throw out their ballots. The matter will be appealed immediately to the faculty senate committee. "We wish to thank Mr. Kelly for his kindness in suggesting .that the barbs bt represented but we contend that it it not within his power to allow repre ntation if our action was il legal. Further, under the new constitution passed by the uni versity faculty eiate, the ac tion of the barb faction is en tircly legal as the new lonstitu tion superseded all former rules and the old constitution founr! in the university catalog, pages 69 to 73, inclusive."
