dean yesterday recalled some of the
things that made the constitutional
convention really life-like.
And the dean shook his head with
silent joy.
^ ou know Allen Johnson, who
edited a book of readings, wrote me
after the constitutional convention,
enclosing a questionnaire about the
affair. He thought that there were
t hi ee sections sitting in the conven-
tion, one from the south, who sat on
one side of the hall those from the
north, who occupied another, and
' o clock, so that lie could smoke it.
1 he dean had a great race, back in
1907, when lie threw his hat and am-
bitious into his one horse buggy,
hitched his colt up, and started out to
beat three,men who filed against him
for representative from Cleveland
county. He passed tfirough varied
experiences, and his classes out in the
university, where he was professor of
political science, were neglected.
W ell, things were going his way,
despite certain disadvantages. In
fact, Cleveland county went democra
tic in the preliminary election, and
by 93 votes the dean rode into the
spotlight. Then, the pesky republi-
cans and independents got together,

Sherwood Eddy to Deliver Six Le
tures to Students; Campaign Com
mittee Being Formed.
"And they were married and lived
lappily ever after", was the telegram
received here yesterday from Williams,
Arizona, where Miss Rosetta Briegel
and Paul Barton were married at 9
a. m. Saturday.
Mr. and Mrs. Barton will spend two
months in California, after which they
will make their home in Tampico,
Mexico, where Mr. Barton is associated
with the Continental Petroleum cor-
poration.
1 he bride was a member of the
chemistry faculty of the University of
' Oklahoma. She was graduated from
the university in the class of 1915, and
md as a student wr-s very prominent in
school activities, having held among
other offices those of president of the
women's council and president of the
V \l. C. A. Special honors received
by her were the Litzeiser medal in 1915,
membership in Owl and Triangle, Phi'
Beta Kappa, and Lambda Kappa Sigma.
She is also a member of the Delta
'■nmma sorority.
Mr. Barton was graduated from the
university in 1918. He majored in
chemistry and did important research
v irk m that line. He is a member oi
Phi Gamma Delta. Phi Beta Kappa,
Mpha CI ■ Sigma and Sigma Tau fra-
ternises. Since leaving the University
h Oklahoma he has continued his work

Indians, who occupied the third.
The South's Contributions
"Well, he wanted to know—you see
he was getting this stuff up for a
paper, which I never got to read
what the south contributed. I told
him separate coaches for niggers,
and Jim Crow. He asked what the
north had given. I told him. And
lie wanted to know what the Indians
had contributed.
"You didn't know, did you, that the
oath of officc in this state-is that
used by the Cherokee Indians, and
incorporated by them in their consti-
tution, of 1839. This prescribes that
no legislator shall acept fee from
railroads, and that he shall accept
nothing to influence his vote. This
is the only oath of office in the world,
I guess, that requires this, and it is
due to the Indians.
And About Cigars
\\ ell, well, nowadays you can take
a cigar from a campaigner without
being accused of violating the law,
for these cigars are so punk that they
have been decided by public opinion
and not by the courts that they are
nothing of value."
And the dean affectionately angled
i cigar in his vest pocket, and wished
that the clock would move around to
nominated a Methodist minister, and
straddled the caustic dean.
The issue they raised was that of
absolute prohibition. Dean Buchanan
who claimed Tennessee as his home
until its recent dffalcation had
advocated local option. Well, the
dean was up a stump, and he knew
it, but trust a Tcnnesseean to with-
draw up into his stump. The Dean
it firmly, and advocated his plat
form. Several Norman ministers j
who knew that the dean stood a
pretty fair chance of winning, stood
by him. He won. In the conven-
tion, the dean wrote the oath of
office, championed the negro seg-
regation clauses, the Jim Crow law,
and other good southern doctrines.
1 he dean still feels his predilec-
tions. Last year a textbook was sub-
mitted to him, which he rejected be-
cause the author quoted a speech in
'which the speaker had likened two
piesidential candidates in the Ian
guage of a negro orator, the one to
a reminiscence, and the other to
enigma.
Suddenly, the dean started, and
looked at the clock, "Where was I?"
lie inquired of the front row satellites.
Then he hurriedly "Turned several
pages of his history text, and con-
tinued his lecture.

Dutton, vice-president; Eugene Barney,

I he Student Volunteer movement is
not a miss; in board and does not send
missionaries to foreign or home fields,
Dougherty pointed out. A student vol-
unteer is one who has signed the dec-
laration which reads as folios: "It
s my purpose, if God permits to become
a foreign missionary".
The movement started about 34 years
ago and its organization is largely due
to the tireless energies of Robe it P.
