Candidates to be
Chosen for Medals
Questionaires Will be Mailed Out to
300 Upper Classmen Having
Average of "B"
Questionaires for choosing Letzeiser
medal candidates will be sent out this
week to 300 upper classmen having a
"B" average, according to Onis Hazel,
chairman of the committee appointed
by the president of the student coun-
cil.
The candidates will not know they
have been chosen to compete until the
day of the election when their name
will appear on the ballot. Medals will
be given to three men and three wo-
men, those holding first place receiving
* gold medal, second place a silver one
and third place, a bronze one.
Receiving of these medals is one of
the highest honors to be awarded in the
university, for it it is a medal not from
one school, but typically representative
of an all around student, for activities
count just as much as grades.

BURLESQUE NOW BEING
KECAhtU; IMCIUKS
SAY If IS BEST YET
Annual Show Promises To Be Best
Ever; Score and Lines Are Now
Complete
The score and lines of the Junior Bur-
esque have been complied and members
if the cast are being chosen daily, ac-
cording to Gordon Bierer and Nolan!
rowning.
The Burlesque this year promises to
be the richest and rarest that has ever
been presented in Soonerland. It is
made up in a musical comedy form and
will cover all of the "happenings of in-
terest" that have occurred since school
opened in September.
Very few campus notables have es-
caped the mysterious clutch of the bur-
lesquers. Houses and people alike havej
been "researched" and results of the
Burlesque committee's investigations
will all be opened to the scrutiny of
the student body on May 5.
Much material has been turned in
that cannot lie used and some of it is
of such nature that it might even be
"ripe" next year.
All that is in the burlesque is based
on fact. There have been no obscene
conclusions drawn and in presenting the
facts many instances of proof will prob- j
ably be introduced.
The leading roles will be taken by
people who are experienced impersona-
tors. Every "prime catoot" that has
achieved notoriety during the year will
be introduced by his "doifble and his
double will no doubt repeat some of the
actions, which when committed were
thought to be done in strict privacy.

COMMUNITY PAPER ISSUED
! I. E. McAfee Edits Leaflet on "Okla-
homa Beautiful"
| K. McAfee, community counselor,
I,as recently edited a new leaflet en-
titled, "Oklahoma Beautiful." The
>0aflet deals with the improvement of
ifie towns of the state by flowers, "vines,
shrubs, trees and is to serve as an in-
I.jtiration to all citizens to beautify their
Iity.
, Ten thousand of these leaflets have
\ en published thru the courtesy of
rrave-Trammell company, Oklahoma
City, and will be sent upon request to
.inyone.
Bess Clement, Norman, is the first
student of Oklahoma, and one of 25
undergraduate women in the United
States to receive one of the French
scholarships, which are distributed ov-
er all foreign countries thru the Office
National des Universities es Ecoles
Francaise at Paris.
The qualifications for the French
scholarship are good scholarship and
high recommendations. Several Okla-
homa students have filed applications
with the American Consul on Education
at Washington D. C., for this scholar-
ship, but Miss Clement, who is a straight
"A"' student is the first to be success-
ful. j
Next September, Miss Clement will]
go to France, where she will remain for
a year with all expenses paid and will
also have a position of teaching several
classes in conversational English.
Miss Clement is the daughter of T.
E. Clement and is a native of Norman.
She has always attended Norman schools
with the exception of one year which
she spent at National Park Seminary,
Washington D. C. She is now a sopho-
more in the university, a member of Y.
W. C. A. and takes a very activc part
in the Spanish and French clubs.
"The Women's Council has changed
its plans for advancing the get-together
spirit among university girls,' ^eona
Robinson, president, said Tuesday.* Hit-
herto all teas and receptions have been
held for all the university women, which
have been successful but have not pro-
duced the desired reaction on the girls."
Now the women's governing body is
planning a series of class teas. Thv j
first one will he held next week for
freshman girls only. The Women's
council wants the girls to become ac-
quainted with an interest in the girls of
their own class.
"We want them to form friendships
that will last during all four years of
college life and after graduation. There
are so many new freshmen this se-
mester and so many left over from last
semester who have not yet caught the
genuine Sooner spirit," Miss Robinson
said. "It is true that the majority
have made friends and are feeling more
at home on the campus, but even yet
there are many girls who still have a
sort of a lost look. The Women's coun-
cil desires to reach all girls and help
them lose that lonesomencss and really
become true university girls, friendly,
happy and a booster for the school.
She can't become this unless she im-
imbides a part of the atmosphere and
feels a part of it. We hope this all-
freshman tea will do a little at an>
rate to advance our plans.'
To some Sooncrs the coming of spring
means the planning of new clothes,
while The minds of others turn lightly
to love or some kindred subject. But
to a group of energetic tnen, the gentle
zephyrs of spring are harbingers of
sounds of thudding baseballs, cr eking
bats and the scurry of spiked shoes over
the baseball diamond. Among the last
group are those who aspire toward mak-
ing the "Hash House" baseball team
which is composed of teams from the
boys' boarding house.
The Y. M. C. A. wHl again have
charge of the organization of this league
this year. Cecil Fleer will have dircct
charge this year and he urges that every
boarding house send a representative to
the "Y" office at 7 o'clock tonight. This
group will organize the league, draw
the plans and arrange the schedule.
There will be a three game play-off
series with the winners of the inter-
fraternity league, according to B. S.
"Chebie" Graham, "Y" secretary. Mr.
Graham said that all men who are in-
terested should register at the "Y" of-
fice.
TWELVE TRACKSTERS
CHOSEN FOR BAYLOR
MEET; 1W0 MORE GO
Morse, Davis, Robertson, Maple.
Bonebrake, Vogle. Booth, Hogan
and Bailey Win Places
THREE VETERANS ON LIST
Griffin, Cobb and Mangum Supply Ex
perience; Contestants Handi-
capped by Poor Field
An elimination track meet v,as held
on Boyd field Wednesday afternoon
to determine which men should ctc-
company Coach Grover C. Jacobsen to
Waco, Texas, where the Soor.c-s will
meet Baylor university in a dual track
meet Satrrdav, March 26.
Jacob;en will take fotirte.'i. men with
him, twelve of whom he ha-; already
selected as a result of their winning in
the trials. The two remain:n£? men will
be selected by Jacobsen n'ter he has
made a study of what he will probably
reed most at Waco.
Bryan Griffin, 100 yard dash and re-
lay is one of the men who will go. (>rif
fin is captain of the 'rack team and has
already earned a letter for his running
Tred Cobb, half-mile and Mangum, re
lay, will make the trip and are the only
letter men besides Griffin who arc on
the team this year.
The other men who will go are
Morse, 100 yard dash; Davis, quarter-
mile; Robertson, one-mile; Maple, two-
miles; Bonebrake, high hurdles; Vogle,
low hurdles and javelin; Booth, shot
put; Hogan, relay; and Bailey, shot
put.
No indication of what the team may
do could be obtained from the trials
because of the lad condition of the
north end of the track. Red mud from
the university well covers that section
of the cinder path and the men were
forced to cut across by the baseball dia-
mond. The distance they ran could not
be accurately estimated and accuratt
time could not be obtained.
In the shot put, Booth made 40 feet
2 inches and Bailey 3^ feet 7 inches
Vogle hurled the javelin 157 feet.
The team will leave Norman Friday
morning and the meet will take place
I at Waco Saturday afternoon.

INDIAN WOMAN DEVOTES
! LIFE TO HELPING HER RACE
i Miss Deloria, Who Will Speak to In-
dian Girls, Has Done Much for
Native Americans
Devotion to her college-trained abdi
I ties to the advancement of her own peo-
j pie is the life mission of Miss Ella De-
loria, Sioux Indian girl, who is to be
the main attraction on the program giv-
en by Indian students today at 4:15 in
the recital ball. Miss Deloria, who
comes here from the National Y. W.
C. A. headquarters, is a college grad-
uate and has also done post-graduate
I work at Columbia university. Upon the
' invitation of government officials, she
! is now making a tour of the west and
I southwest, extending physical education
land other Y. W. C. A. activities to
young &irls of her own race.
Among other accomplishments, Miss
Deloria is credited with the authorship
of an Indian pageant written in Dako-
I tian blank verse. The pageant was
written, a cast of five hundred Indians
recruited, and the play was produced,
by Miss Deloria, all with in the short
time of five days. Many of the char-
acters had participated in the actual
events represented by the pageant, how-
ever. The theme portrayed was the
history of the Dakotians in the last fif-
ty years, and was staged with remark-
| able success.
"I am proud of the intelligent inter-
est in Indians and the untiring devo-
tion to Indian girls by the Y. W. C
A.," says Miss Deloria. "In the gov-
ernment schools the Y. W. has a work
that none other can do and a unique op-
portunity for doing it."
