    THE BATTALION
other in the country. It will be
collection of the rarest and the best.
We must not forget our vanity fair,
we believe that you are all anxious
to know who the six most popular sen
iors are by a vote of the senior class
“Boy Howdy and those two hun
dred and fifty senior favorites. You’ve
got to give the cake to these 1925
boys. From two hundred and fifty we
are having picked the six most beau
tiful by a national committee. Prac
tically the same committee that pick
ed Miss America at Atlantic City.
And who is Miss A. and M.? This
will give you a little idea of what the
book will have as its contents.
It will be the large size, 9x12. The
very best of paper, covers, and work
manship. One of our reasons for the
hurry up schedule is to let is stay in
the press longer in order that it may
have more life and stand more wear.
Every page will be a complete change
from any other Longhorn. We have
tried to make it a combination of the
fine points of all the best and larg
est annuals published. Its many new,
original, and changed features ought
to make it outstanding.
THE KLANS’ KOLLEGE FRAT.
Many are mystified, some are in-
dignignant, at Albany, New York,
over the report that the Exalted Or
der of the Ku Klux Klan has been in
corporated for over a year in the guise
of a Greek letter fraternity, the Alpha
Pi Sigma.
The papers of incorporation char
acterise the Alpha Pi Sigma as a
“purely fraternal, patriotic society”
which will ‘own and control all re
galia necessary to the proper conduct
of its affairs” and will ‘hold meet
ings in groves”, not only in the state
of New York but also “in the entire
United States.” “Boy, page Cy Edwards.
This new society is said to have
been organized by the Klan as a way
out of difficulties caused by nullifiica-
tion proceedings against the incorpor
ation of the Knights of the Ku Klux
Klan. These proceedings were due
to the fact that alterations were made
in the papers of incorporation be
tween the time they were approved by
the Supreme Court Judge, George E.
Pierce in Buffalo and subsequent fill
ing in Albany.
Suspicious as to the true nature of
this “frat” was aroused when it was
learned that Wilson D. Bush, Kleagle
and personal representative form At
lanta, in New York, whom loyal klans-
men call “His Excellency”, is mention
ed in the incorporation papers of the
society as its president. The phrase
declaring that “both sexes” are eligi
ble for membership also aroused sus
picion. Then a comparison of these
papers with the nullified documents
of the Knights of the Ku Klux Klan
revealed their very startling simil
arity.
Supreme Court Justice Charles L.
Guy, who approved of and consented
to the certificate of incorporation,
when told what had been learned
about the Alpha Pi Sigma, expressed
indignation. He said that when he
approved the papers of incorporation
that they were for a college fraterni
ty.
Robert L. Noah, who drew up the
papers declared that he thought
Alpha Pi Sigma was to be a general
fraternity to which college men who
belonged to any fraternity would be
eligible.
