The Lee Lanterns is a twice monthly publication produced by Lee College sophomores in Baytown Texas. The Highlands News in Highlands Texas also publishes the paper.
The oath affirms belief in the U S Constitution and its principles and rejects aiding subversion by force. It prohibits support for any foreign government during war and requires not belonging to groups aiming to overthrow the U S or state governments by unlawful means in the past two years.
The text contrasts eye appeal with the phrase I appeal noting no real difference in effect. It argues the eye can be deceived, enabling magicians to profit from appearances, leaving readers to draw their own conclusions about perception and manipulation.
The author weighs how history repeats itself through age old ideas and figures from Plato to Mohammed, noting myths about Marx and modernity.

The piece ends with a playful nod to libel worries over Cleopatra and Caesar.
An essay argues that all things serve a purpose and ambition drives progress. It notes greed can both destroy and propel society, and predicts future judgment of ambitious figures as evidence that a little good remains in everything.
Lee College students debate the value of non Communist affidavits signed this week. Some signed for funds or to comply with bills, while critics say the oath is ineffective and against prudent policy.
A column invites readers to sign loyalty pledges and notes film picks. It praises The Young Lions by Irwin Shaw, The Heiress, and Madame Bovary as serious, tragic entertainments. Readers are urged to contribute snapshots to a journalism-class project.
The Lantern editor abandoned a planned Anthony and Cleopatra story after finding little reader interest. The note mentions the text would not fit college comic book preferences.
