BERKELEY. oct 16.-The entire edi-
tion OF the Pelican. the comic paper of
the students Of the university. has been
seized by the faculty and suppressed
and Editor in Chief Rollond Ewing Fay
suspended from the university until
August, 1910. The action Of the uni
versity authorities. coupled with that
OF the students affairs committee, came
a distinct surprise to the students,
IS only few dozen Pelicans were Is
sued yesterday, the main sale, for the
freshman game, being scheduled for to-
day
OBJECTIONABLE FEATURES
An attack on President Wheeler, car
toons of the women students as suf-
frsgists. showing them smoking big
cigars and displaying a generous length
OF hosiery with their feet on the table
and a parody entitled The Dago-Red
Mark" on Chambers THE Danger
Mark" are among the Objectionable
features in the edition to which the
faculty and students affairs committee
took exception and which resulted in
the suppression of the edition and the
suspension OF Editor Fay
The attack on President Wheeler is
regarded as uncaIled for and has caused
adverse comment on the head OF the
student editor. He writes; THE
Wheeler folks had q postal from Ben
yesterday. He says he is hitting the
high places. He might IS weil While
he has that 5000 carfare."
The Dago-Red Mark is said to be
the most daring and racy article which
has ever appeared in college publica-
ton. II deals freely in affinities. CO.
respondents, beer saloons and types of
characters unrestrained. II is cleverly
written. however. but nothing is left to
the imagination by the student writer.

copies Of the ma agazine placed on sale
an order was issHed 10 Manager Tyler
Henshaw TO suppress the entire edition,

E Hall, former editor Of the Daily Cal

Fay was summoned before the COM
rnittee and asked 10 explain his conduct

ter page cartoon on the women students

The committee then rendered report
asking the faculty to suspend Fay,
Which was concurred in by Prof. c. l.
Nor head of the faculty students af-
tNl-s committee. Prof. Alexis r. Lange, I

Here are some of the alleged humor-
Gus fancies 10 which the authorities
took no exception:
Fountain of Youth Discovered
There is a difference in time be-
tween San Francisco and New York
OF, say, three hours. Suppose
man could travel east from San
Francisco to New York at the rate
Of 1000 miles per day. taking three
days to get there and losing in time
one hour per day. See that?
Now II he keeps travelling east
indefinitely, losing one hour day
in a year, he viii lose 365 hours,
r and in a lifetime of 20 years he
will lose approximately 1.O64 days
or three years So in reality at the
age Of 20 he will be only 81 years
old. Cot that?
We'll. now that airships have
been perfected we will be able to
increase the speed of travelling 10
times. Then in 20 years you will
lose 80 years, thus dying at the
age of 20 and still being only 40
years old.
mo wonder Ponce de Leon
couldn't find the fountain Of youth.
