Special to The Thresher
AUSTIN, Oct., 28. Police recently
took into custody an apparently do-
' meat eel youth, described as a "half-
wit," whom they .sought to question
i in connection with the murder of Ed-
; gar Collins Arledge Jr., University of
' Texas senior.
| As a result of the murder, Professor
E, T. Mitchell of the university's
i philosophy department, proposed that
"petting zones" lie set aside so that
students might be protected from
' bandits, ■. ■, ViV'-.V1"
Arledge Was shut to death on the
j night of September 19 as he sat in a
1 parked automobile with Miss Margaret
Trull, who was graduated from the
university last June. Miss Trull was
wounded slightly by the unidenulied
assailant. Arledge was a nephew ot
Dr. Eugene C. Barker, professor of
history at the university.
"Though not desirable, it is inevi-
table that young men and women
should go riding in cars arid park
them," he declared, "They have been
driven from well-lighted roads into
out-6f-way spots, where they attract
murderers and maniacs "

elected, as follows: preside!'.'. Rudolf
Schleiser; secretary, Lenoi'e Durham; •
treasurer. Dorothy Eckel: and Doctor
Heinrich as faculty advisor.
A number of changes in the consti-
tution of the club were voted upon and
put into effect, and should prove very
interesting to students just beginning
their study of German and to those
more advanced students who doubt
their ability to speak the language. It
was formally the policy of the club to
admit to membership only those people
who were capable of expressing them-
selves well enough in German to ob-
viate any necessity for the use of Eng-
lish in. conducting the club Realizirtj*
that this rule would necessarily bar
freshman students add a number of.
other students who would makc vde-
sirable members, the club has made a
new rule which will make the use of
German only preferable to that of
English. Another ruling reduced the
dues of the club, and this should prove
a welcome innovation.
The president appointed different
committees to conduct the various af-
fairs of the club. Mr. Mulloy was ap-
pointed chairman of the program com-
mittee: Miss E^kel, of the entertain-
ment committee: and Miss Durham
and Mr. Mendel, publicity committee,
An executive board of three persons
was also elected of which Doctor
Fretmd is chairman.

Dr. Freund about Germany where he
