WASHINGTON STUDENTS SUS
PENDED FOR HAZING SCRAPE
* -
Four students have been suspended
from the University for the entire aca
demic year, four suspended for the
remainder cf the present semester,
and twelve placed on probation as a
result of the investigation of a com
mittee of the faculty which was re
cently appointed by President Henry
I.andes to inquire into the recent haz
ing proceedings which occurred on
the campus, in which the underclass
men were implicated.
In part, the report issued by th->
committee states. “While opportu
nities wili no doubt be afforded for
physical contests betw i the classes,
it is vl.-v Cesar that the sentiment of
the faculty is against compulsory
participation in any of tne class con
tests, and particularly do they object
to all forms of mass contests where
g personal injuries are probable.
“It was the thought of the commit
tee, as a result of its investigations,
that the pi-ring of class numera s
upon the University property was cal
culated to provoke reprisals and to
lead frequently to instances of hazing.
To the end that this temptation be
removed, the University authorities
will at once remove the large clas9
numerals wherever they occur ab^ut
the University grounds. When that is
done the further responsibility in the
matter will be placed upon the stu
dents. By vote of the faculty, when
ever numerals are placed upon any of
the University pioperty they will be
immediately removed, and the ex
pense of the work will be charged to
the class whose members have been
guilty.”-- -Exchange.
Olympic games may be
HELD IN UNITED STATES
The Olympic games may be held in
the United States in 1916. Baron
Pierre de Coubertin, president of the
international committee, says if any
conditions prevent them from being
held in Europe they will not be post
poned. He thinks tbe war will have
but a brief temporary effect upon the
sports of France and will in no way
seriously effect the Olympic games.
Los Angeles is putting in a strong
bid for the games to be there. It is
proposed that the games be held in
the Exposition Park Stadium which
is now in course of construction. This
^ building will hold 30,000 people, 3,000
more than the one at Stockholm.—

A chess game between the teams of
Chicago University and Washington
o University, of St. Louis, is now being
played by mail. By this method, the
players are able to make one move
day. It is not known how long it
will take to finish the contest.
Rifle shooting may become a recog
nized sport at the University of Wash
ington.
The senior class at the University
of Oklahoma assumes a dignified ap
pearance by wearing conventional
black ties and canes to match. The
freshmen, on the other hand, are
topped off with glaring scarlet lids,
4^1’ieh the sophomores have a hard
time forcing them to wear.
KOTL MAKES PUNS TO
i EMM COLLEGE MEN
Student Co-operative Workshop Would
Help at Least 75 to Earn
Way Through School
j A student co-operative workshop,
employing student labor, is the plan
of Secretary Koyl, of the University
Y. M. C. A., for the aid of men who
are working their way through col
lege. Some staple necessity will prob
ably be manufactured if the plan ma
terializes. o
“Sixty per cent of the men attend
ing this institution are paying their
own expenses, at least in part, largely
through work done during the school
year,” says Koyl. “Each year there
will be more men coming, and if the
institution remains as democratic as
it now is, each year will be an in
creasing demand for work.”
“If the liberal democratic air of
the school is to be maintained, work
must be provided for these men. To j
do this we must have a plant putting
out a product that has a stable mar
ket and in which we can use un
skilled labor. For instance, if a box
factory similar to the one down town,
which employs fifteen men, were to
be installed we could furnish 75 men
with two hours’ work each day at 25
cents or more an hour.
“The plant will be conducted under
a student manager, and work will be
given to all who need it. No profit
will be made by the Y. M. C. A., but
the proceeds will be divided among
the workers.’
During the Christmas vacation Mr.
Koyl will make a trip to Portland and
visit various plants with a view of
finding the article best adapted to
manufacturing conditions here. He
will present the whole matter to the
regents at their January meeting, and
if he secures their co-operation will
take steps to have the plant working
during the spring months.
