COLUMBIA. Mo, April L.
What price sex researcn?' is the
an-important question at the Uni
versity of Missouri today.
The final answer rests with the
scrapping solons Of the state legiS-
lature now in session at Jefferson
City, 80 miles away from here,
where the university is situated.
Political Football
The innocent-looking bit of print
ed paper with a handful Of students
in a sociology class circulated among
1000 goods and male undergradu-
ateS as a QUESTIONABLE of intimate
sex subjects might have been an in
fernal machine, judging from the
wreckage in its wake. Now it rests
amid the stately columns of the Mis-
souri, capitol building, ready to be-
come a political football in the pro-
jected distribution of state funds
among educational institutions.
When an e~nterprising newspaper
correspondent obtained & copy Of
the QUESTIONABLE and published as
much Of il as he dared, thereby
starting a storm which swept across
the state, the chairman of the ap-
preparations committee Of the Mis-
souri, house of representatives
threatened to whittle the univer-
sity's budget to the bone unless
everyone concerned with the sex
scandal was Summarily dismissed. A
few days later the executive COM
mittee Of the ~university's board OF
curators suspended two professors
and discharged a student instructor.
Now a Kansas City representative
in the legislature has come forward
with a petition signed by himself
and 81 colleagues, demanding that
the curators ~reinstate the dismissed
instructors IF you want a deserving
share of the available money Of the
treasury Of the state"
Missouri university wants some
thing like $1,000. 900 for its 1929 bud
get, for new buildings, improve
mentS, etc.
Wherefore the curators are Won
dering, what price sex research"
The full board Of curatorS is now
considering the action Of its eX-
ecutive committee, and it faces not
only the conflicting sentiment in the
legislature, but the wrath Of its stu
dent body, which in the main is
highly incensed at the ouSting q
the faculty members.
Three OuSted
DR.. Harmon o. De Graft, aSSoci-
ate professor of sociology, in whose
class the QUESTIONABLE originated
was Of those ousted. Regarded
as one Of the most popular instruc-
tors on the campus and an idol OF
the co-eds, De Graft has been estab-
lished by his admirers in a private
office near the school. where he can
serve his former students as coun-
Selor and at the same time complete
a book he is writing on sociology.
The goods in his class shed tears
when he parted with them officially
and he wept with them.

all three instructors and has threat
ened a general strike if the board
Of curators ratifies the action Of the
executive committee.
Coed Leads Uprising
Pretty Lucille Dorff. journalism
student from Dallas, Tex. is n of
the principal leaders Of the student
uprising. When a student mass
meeting was called to protest
against the suspension of the three
faculty members, no one seemed to
know the identity Of the instigators,
but when it assembled with $500
rabid sympathizers Of the ouSted
instructors in damned attendance
in the university auditorium, Lucille
Dorff occupied a prominent posi- Oh
the speakers platform. She sue
tessfully directed the circulation Of
petitions among the students, call
ing on the board Of curators to re-
scind the action Of its executive
committee and during the Easter
holidays aided a movement to have
