MEMPHIS, Tenn., Mar. 4 — The
8tory of the famed L.ong purgings

was told here recently by L. Rhea
Godbold, one of the six journalism
students expelled.
"The trip Huey Long prompted to
the L. S. U.-Vanderbilt game started
it, " he said.
"There was a mass meeting to
protest the resignation of the
Reveille staff, which has resigned
because of Long's censorship. I
spoke and said that since Huey had
suggested that Louisiana secede
from the Union, the paper should
divorce itself from the school and
publish independently.

Four of us were told,

university president without even a

the staff, later were expelled for
signing affidavits showing just what
part the Kingflsh had in school affairs.
Discuss Censorship
"I have lived in Bilbo, Ma Ferguson
and Long states, but the latter
is the worst of all. Censorship
is an expression of Hitlerism. As
practiced at L. S. U., it destroys
youthful initiative and tends to
mould young minds into a group of
stereotyped individuals."

By Associated Collegiate Preat
TOLEDO, O., Mar. 4 — Charles
Cupp, sophomore at the University
of Toledo, prefers to complete his
college education rather than take
up the career of a professional
baseball player. Cupp, highest scor-
er on the Rocket basketball team as
well as a marvelous defensive play-
•r and who is expected to be one
of the mainstays on the baseball
team this spring, recently turned
down an offer to try out for a position
with the New York Giants at
its spring training camp. If he had
accepted the offer he would have
lost his amateur standing and
would have been ineligible for further
intercollegiate athletics.

MADISON, Wis., Mar. 4.—"What
are you doing?" a Madison copper
asked Robert Mercer, senior en-
gineering student at the University
of Wisconfiki.
"I guess you can see that I am
throwing snowballs at the window,"
the Badger student replied in true
story-book collegiate fashion.
The time was at night, and the
window happened to be in the
Kappa Alpha Theta sorority house
here, so Judge Roy Proctor, of
Madison's Supeiior Court, said the
next day that it was disorderly conduct—but
merely warned Mercer to
find less conspicuous means of attracting
the attention of his co^ed
friend.

Vermont's ''Banana Stalk'' Reptile
Succumbs to Onslaught of Rodent
BURLINGTON, Vt.. Mar 4 -The
boa constrictor at the University of
Vermont, which arrived here by
way of a banana stalk several
weeks ago, has been done in, surviving
the rigors of sub-zero weather
and forced feeding only to fall
victim to a mouse.
Thf mouse ate his tall, and evidently
a boa constrictor can survive
almost anything but a skinned tail.
The mouse had been placed In the
boa's cage for the boa to eat, but
the boa wouldn't eat him. It wasn't
exactly fair of the mouse to go and |
skin the boa's tail, but he did. There
was nothing particularly malicious
about the act, according to the zoological
authorities at the university,
or particularly appetizing about the
tail. It was just one of those coincidences
that occasionally happen,
but very rarely in the life of a boa
constrictor.

appearing in a recent edition of the New
York American, in which the writer demands
to know why one hundred Vassar

Albany in protest against the Numan
bill, which demands that college stu-
.flents take an oath of allegiance to the
^^ United States. The newspaper becomes
highly indignant over the situation and
demands to know, "What possible hon-
orable and reasonable objection these
ridiculous young women can find to
taking an oath of k)yalty to the nation

ciated with baseball, having started
his professional career in Hartford.
Conn., in the old Connecticut League
of 1902. In 1905, he played with
Providence in the International
League, which team won the championship,
under the coaching of
Jack Dunn.
The year 1906 saw him with the
Yankees, while in 1908 he went with
the Detroit Tigers, which club won
the championship in the American
League. The years 1909, 10, 11, 12.
13, 14 found him with the famed
Philadelphia Athletics. Duiing this
time he caught such great pitchers
as Jack Coombs, Chief Bender, and
Eddie Plank.
The years 1910, 11, 13. found the
Athletics winners of the American
League pennant and also the
World's Championship in 1910, 11,
and 13. This team perhaps is better
known to baseball fans as the
team with the million dollar infield.
After his actual playing days were
over, Mr. Thomas acted a« coach
and also in an advisoiy capacity
to the Athletics' baseball club. More
recently he has been serving as
scout and travels the entire United
States searching for baseball material
for that club.
Perhaps the greatest find that
Mr. Thomas ever presented to the
Athletics' bell club was Al Sim-
mons. He proclaimed "Al" ae one
of the major league's greatest ball
players and also declared him to be
a very zealous Catholic, which
emphasized the main object of his
talf, the necessity of living good
clean upright lives.
Using Simmons as his model, he
endeavored to show the type of life
a good Catholic should live, the frequent
reception of the Sacraments,
the constant recourse to prayer, for
a simple unaffected life.
"Al" Simmons exemplifies all
these virtues," declared Mr. Thomas.
"He never misses a day at the
Communion rail whenever it is possible
for him to receive and he devotes
a large part of his time to
prayer and the practice of humility."

THURSDAY NAMED FOR OPENER
The second half of the Mural basketball league ended last
J'riday with Alumni capturing top h(Miors. Austin dropped
to second place by virtue of its defeat by Alumni. Pat
Marquette's team went through this half without a defeat,
having only one hard game, that being against Austin.
The playoff between Mendel, winner of the first half, and
Alumni, victors in the second half, will begin this Thursday
evening. The series will run for three games if necessary, the
winner of two games will be declared basketball champions
in the Mural league for the year of 1934-35.
The second half of tht Intra-*
Mural basket ball season ended
last Friday afternoon returning
Alumni Hall the winner. Although
not over otlicially until Friday, the
season really ended on Thursday
afternoon when Mendel Hall forfeited
to Alumni. If Mendel had
played and w n this game the final
standing might have been, different
as theie was a possibility of a three '

for an Owl, as the last few issues

that the only copy was one

Miss Nadeine Reiter, attractive

Contrary to Information, describ-

throughout the campus
during the past few days, the VILr*

yesterday afternoon that neither
Rudy VaMee nor Ray Noble, or

Confirmation was made by this

of the orchestras denied the rumors
in a telephone conversation.
Vallee declared that attempts had
been made to contact him, but that
a contract to make another talking
picture on the West Coast prevented
his appearance here May 10, the
date set for the Prom, Noble's
agents said he had a previous engagement
on that night.
John W. Hallahan, Jr., chairman
of the group in charge of the social,
expressed the belief that before the
current week is over he will have
signed an orchestra whose popularity
is greater than either of the

Anyone who has engaged in some

The various moderators hand ki

The certifloate is of heavy grade
