Pogoites throughout the United
States are a determined lot.
They are campaigning vigor
ously for votes, just votes.
Pogo Possum, an inhabitant
of the Okefenokee swamplands,
runs (in a dignified gait) on
the platform of "Pogo for Presi
(lent All Others for Vice." (Vice
is a major theme in our times.)
Pogo has assembled a committee
charged with the responsibility
of sp)reading the good word, and
accordiing to Miss McClung, the
camp)aign at the University has
been a rollicking success.
Primeval Possum
Miss McClung was recently
honored by Walt Kelly, the
creator of Pogo, by being named
a member of "The Primitive
and Primeval Order of Possum
Players," the fair-haired group
who will carry the Pogo Ban
ner.
Pogo Possum, of course, is a
comic strip carriedi in over 150
newspapers and periodicals all
over the world. His creator,
Walt Kelly, was voted Cartoon
ist of the Year in 1952, and in
the past eight years has man
agedI to build up a large audi
ence of readers.
The devotion to Pogo is ex
plained by the simple fact that
Kelly, despite his seemingly
shallow field, is a genius of the
first order who has inevitably
turned out a gently satirical
strip that has yet to lapse into
boredom or immaturity.

Honor Code
Trespasser
Is Penalized
A University student has been
convicted and punished for viola
tion of the honor principle, Phil
Moody, chairman of the Honor
Council, announced recently.
The individual, whose name is
not made public, "admitted his
guilt openly'' of charges of cheat
ing on a daily class quiz, Moody
said.
The chairman of the council
pointed out that the violation was
reported by another member of
the class, who is not connected
with either the Honor Council or
Honor Board.
As a penalty, the violator was
compelled to miss three consecu
tive class meetings and was not
allowed to make up any work
missed during that time, Moody
explained.
"Record of the case is kept on
file by Honor Council. Any infrac
Ition of the honor principle by this
individual in the future will be
grounds for expulsion from the
University," Moody added.
