J out, the real "meat" is still there. Either today or Friday the
i measure will be acted upon by the House. Then, of course,
, H it the bill passes, it will run the gamut of a Senate committee,
, jand then the Senate. Forces are pretty evenly divided in the
House, and a couple of votes either way could tell the story.

f Game Law Enforcement Transfer Bill Dead
' The bill to transfer game law enforcement from the state
f police to the Game Commission is as dead as last year's crop
I , of kisses. In fact, the "kiss of death" was given the measure
t;, ,: resoundingly last week at its public hearing. We can say, with
; out fear of real contradiction, that the hearing was as sorry
a spectacle as has been seen so far this session. Open antagonism
j . between committee members was all too evident. And, while
f this writer is in favor of the transfer idea, it must be honestly
i, . ' reported that proponents of .the change presented about as poor
' - and disorganized a front as can be Imagined. There is talk
: r about an initiative, but unless it is guided by more skilful hands
j, , than guided the bill itself, It is bound to fail.

Do You Know Any 'Litterbugs'? i
One of the highlights of
: In Salem last Saturday was a report by Sam Moment ox Port-
land all about litterbugs and vandalbugs. These bugs, bear
fing a strong resemblance to people, scatter trash lndiscrim-
. inately in public places, and take a perverse delight in shooting
' . up signs, writing on markers and monuments, and In general
making themselves obnoxious. The Portland group have their
; ; eights set on these bugs, and are seeking the active support of
conscientious folks everywhere to keep Oregon clean, as well
4 as green. A wonderful project,
the out-of-doors more.

Chicago (U.R) T h e proposal
that ; Oklahoma A M be
stripped of .its academic ac
creditation, partly because of
'over-emphasis" on athletics,
drew quick and heated pro
tests today from officials of the
Sooner state. .
A committee of the North
Central Association, a group
which passes on the academic
qualiliatlons of Its memDers,
recommended yesterday that
the school at Stillwater, Okla.,
be removed from the accredited
list. ..
It also recommended that
Bradley University be placed
on probation for one year be
cause it has not completely cor
rected "unsatisfactory condi
tions" in its athletic program.
Loss of accreditation would'
mean that no other schools in
the Association would recog
nize credits granted by Okla
homa A&M.
Gov. Johnston Murray of
Oklahoma wired the Associ
ations: "The entire state is
shocked by this action. We
request a public hearing."
In Stillwater,- John Arring
ton, who represents that city
in the Oklahoma state legisla
ture, said he will ask the Okla
homa Board of Regents "to to'
tercede In 'behalf of the col
