NEW SHOE POLISHERS
Latest Freak Of Girls in Missouri
College.
The "owls" Require Great Many
Queer Things.

Columbia, Mo, Feb, 2O--To quail
ify themselves for membership IN an
exclusive college sorority girl students
Of Missouri University are required to
stop passers on the street and insist on
blacking their shoes. An edict Just
issued by the "Owls," secret society
composed Of varsity girls, makes this
requirement, and several. members
have already gone through the ordeal
The candidates for initiation are
Obliged to do other things even more
extraordinary. A recently initiated
"Owl" created a sensation by appear
ing with her hat, boa and muif worn
the reverse way. She carried her
hands in her muff behind her back,
the hat she wore was reversed, and
her veil was carefully arranged about
the back Of her head. Several persons
gave evident signs of embarrassment
when she stopped them on the street
and firmly insisted on blacking their
shoes.
Another requirement for member
ship is that the candidate for initia-
tion must "cut her sweetheart dead"
when she meets him on the street, and
refrain from uttering single word to
him during a three days period OF
pensnoe.
The Theta M Epsilon, a similar or
ganization of male students, is even
more surprising in its requirements
The members appear on the street In
convicts' clothes and are required to
climb the nearest tree whenever they
meet another member.
