Shock of Killing Nothing Hew
To Louisiana State University
Baton Itouge (CPD Louisi
ana State university, a 101-year-old
school that is "shock
ed" by the bludgeon-slaying
of a woman professor, has a
history of shocks beginning
35 years ago when another
professor's skull was caved in.
Currently, the campus is
agog over the charge that the
dean of its graduate school,
Dr. George H. Mickey, club
bed to death Dr. Margaret
Raymond McMillan.
It will probably survive
this, just as it has survived
another professor's murder,
Huey Long, and a president
who tried to corner the wheat
market, along with various
more minor irritants such as
racial rows.
In 1925, the school fidgeted
as police scrutinized the 27
students who made up agro
nomy 23. They were looking
for the person who took a
hatchet and mutilated the
head of agronomy professor
Oscar Turner. Professor Turn
er's body was found in a dark
hallway of the agronomy
building.
Investigators said they
were sure one of the students
in agronomy 23 got caught
by the professor while steal
ing final examination ques
tions and killed him rather
than be exposed.
But they never did find out
who did it, and the murder
is still unsolved.

Huey P. Long, took an inter-

Most bonds issued by cities, counties or states are exempt from
Federal income tax. Territorial bonds of Alaska and Hawaii
(before statehood) and of Pureto Rico are usually exempt from
both state and Federal taxation. In many cases, actual income
from good municipal bonds is higher than income from quality

Currently, many bonds are selling to yield 4 and over to

est in the school and began
building it up until it was
known as the "school Huey
built." But Huey wanted it
run his way.
After the murder of the
professor, things rocked along
on a reasonably even keel un
til 1934, when Huey decided
it would be good experience
for the students to hold a
mock election for a state sen
ate seat that was then open,
The students thought it
would be fun and so, in a
spirit of fun, they elected a
football hero. Huey apparent
ly thought that was so fun
ny that he tried to get the
football player sworn in as
senator for real, not for
fun. The football-playing sen
ator-elect balked and so did
the student body.
Someone wrote a nasty let
ter to the Reveille, the Stu
dent paper, chastising Huey
for trying to use an "uncon
stitutional election" to get a
football player made a sena
tor.
Paper Censored
For that, Huey ordered the
paper put under strict cen
sorship. This incensed the stu
dents so that they had the
temerity to complain verbally
to Huey.
This resulted in seven
journalism students being ex
pelled and about 28 others
suspended from the school.
The Reveille wasn't published
for several weeks when what
remained of the staff quit in
protest.
Huey Long was removed
from the scene by an assassin,
and things went quietly again
until 1939. Then a bomb
burst.
President Imprisoned
James Monroe Smith, presi
dent of LSU, having dropped
more ' than $100,000 of the
school's money trying to cor
ner the wheat market, fled
to Canada. But he was arrest
ed, brought back and sent to
Angola prison, where he
spent his time chopping sugar
cane.
On the heels of that it is
all known as the great Loui
siana sandals and even a gov
ernor went to jail a con
tractor, George Caldwell, was
sentenced to a federal prison
term for misappropriating
WPA funds earmarked for a
new football stadium.
His partner killed himself.

Jack, who his fellow workers
said was a harmless practical
joker around the office, had
all his teeth pulled by a den
tal surgeon. His co-workers
Monday sent him: a pound of
peanut brittle, six packages
of corn chips, corn on the
cob, salted peanuts and tooth
picks.
hunting trip to the Georgia
estate of W. Alton Jones .was
available well in advance, but
few people recognized it as
such. The week end before
he flew south, the President
was out on his skeet range in
Gettysburg, sharpening up his
shooting eye.
He rarely uses the skeet
range unless he plans to do
some hunting or wants to try
out a new gun. In this case,
it was both because he
brought back several inviting
gift guns from Europe.
Could it be a sign of world
conditions? Frequently, a t
weekly intervals, an official
of the Central Intelligence
Agency comes to the White
House for a highly secret
briefing on hot spots around
the globe for the benefit of
ranking members of the
President's staff.
This is in addition to the
daily situation report for the
President from CIA and the
CIA reviews before the Na
tional Security Council.
The President very much
dislikes the pigeons that on
occasion dirty up his glisten
ing clean barn roof In Gettys
burg. He's been known to
take out after them with his
shotgun.
Now, hes after birds' of
another feather - starlings at
the White House.
The parks service has been
trying out a new anti-starling
spray. It worked with some
success on the South Grounds
of the White House where the
trees were drenched with the
new potion.
Recently the North Grounds
were sprayed and what hap
pened? The starlings moved
across the street to the old
State Department building.
So, the spray program had
to be widened to include the
MAIL, TRIBUNE, Medford, Or.

trees around Old State and
therein lies a new problem:
The spray apparently has run
most of the pesky birds away
from the White House, but to
where? Next door.
The park people, to be fair
about the whole thing, may
have to end up spraying an
awful lot of downtown real
estate. By the time they reach
the suburbs, the spray at the
White House will be worn off
the trees, the starlings will be
back and the process will
have to start all over again.
Seems sort of hopeless.

Grease Squirters
The second meeting of the
Applegate Grease Squirters
was held at the home of David
Christensen. Terry Miller,
president, called the meeting
to order.
The group discussed build
ing a carry -all rack which
would operate by the hydraul
ic behind the tractor and one
that would not operate by the
hydraulic system. They also
discussed the building of a
dump hook-up on the tractor
which would improve the
present commercially sold
racks.
The club would do this to
raise money for a future en
tertainment and to give the
members of the club exper
ience with the operation of
machine shop equipment. It
was decided to have the jun
ior leader draw up the plans
for the rack.
The president appointed
Tommy Herriot and David
Christenson to try to get some
one to sponsor the group.
After the discussion, record
books were discussed. Some
of the members received their
books at the meeting as there
was a shortage of them.
Mrs. Christensen served re

The members divided into
