Campbell Tells Of
Oklahoma Families
University Professor Writes About
Indians of State in Ameri-
can Mercury
The characteristics of the 1 letter Ok-
lahoma families were il'escrilicd in an
article written by Wajfr S Camp-
bell assistant professor of English in
the university for the August number
of the American Mercury
The article is entitled "The First
j Families of Oklahoma” and deals
especially with those who have Indian
blood in their vein
Oklahoma was in early days the re-
fuge of many an outlaw and ruffian
states Campbell writing under the
name of Stanley Vestal An old In-
dian territory song which illustrates
this fact is quoted:
“0 wter mmi jmr mm a lit Stitnf
It's il rinfm r Mhm sr Btlnf
Ihd jpm murder yeur will
And flf liedtfMi KtrT i 4 '
Suy frSi mi yi o im b Mr Stilnl "
' s i j
It is interesting to note qa-Campbell
writes’ that -aKha most of (he
crimes in Oklahoma are committed on
the east side of state' the home of the
five cih'vized tribe it is also true that
practically all of the Indian celebri-
ties senators poets 'knd athletes come
from- that section tod "
"The well-todo Oklahoma Indiana
approach more closely the type of the
I English country gentleman than any
other group in the United States"
Campbell also states "They have been
taught to exalt personal qualities to
believe that chsrscMr is more import-
nut tlian achievement They had a
rigid code of honor and they have
! been until lately quite indifferent to
j property”-'

And apparently this is not all

in the university
The lady in question— she did
not give her name— took copious
and consistent jiotes in two coures
but they- mounted P to such pnK
portion thst she became alarmed
' Perhapa she would have a'nerv- -'

She found that ahe had written

AUGUST SESSION
HERETHISYEAR
May Mean University Will
Stay Open 12 Months : -Every
Year1' -
GET 140 APPLICATIONS
Students Can Get Residence
Credit for Maximum Of
: 4 Hours Work
Definite announcement " that there
would be an August session of the
university was made Saturday after a'
conference Friday afternoon between
Dr William Bennett Bizzell president
and t committee of deans
Decision to hold the extra session is -thought
to be the first step toward
keeping the university open 12' months
of the year altho St ivas pointed out
that it indicates-jno -Mtempt' to intro- j "
ducc the four quarters system here
At least 22 courses will be offered - -and
residence eridif will be given' for - -the
work it was dfinounced ‘ Students -will
be allowed to' take a maximum of
four hours of work or a minimum of
two hours - Nine- recitation hours a
week will be required for two-hour
courses and 18' hour a week for the
four-hour courses' A fee of $450 a
credit hour will be charged- "

and 'Tuesday before' classes
start it was said Enrolment will be 1
thro the registrar’s office in the Ad-
ministration building
More than 140 applications for en-
rolment have already been received
Faculty members of state teachers' col- )
leges are the one most mtcrcstrd iq ' -
the extra session according to the ap-
plication received '
Numerous requests from superin-
tendents and teachers of state inati? '
rations who wish to pursue advanced '
study after their term have cfosedv
are largely responsible for the decision -'
to hold the August session
To Offer Graduate Work :
Three teachers find it difficult to at- -tempt
graduate work outside the state
in the four weeks reraaining after they-” -hive
1 worked’ in their own summer- c-1-schOwls
so the August session or the -
uni-ersity is expected to be of particu-
lar benefit to them
The majority of the courses offered
will 'jt graduate or advanced work it
is thought
"The August session was arranged
to accommodate those students who
are unable to do graduate work at any
other time" Doctor Rizaell said The
university is trying to serve those who
need to he served and while the Aug-
ust work is nor somewhat of an ex-
i periment if it is a success it may mean
a definite policy nt keeping the uni-
versity ocn 12 month of the year”
