combination of increased enrollment and decreased appropriations. He
said the enrollment had reached the 10,000 mark with a gain over

Burning Caps
Cause of Riot at
North wes tern
By ALYCE ROGERS
Indiscriminate wreckage was
left in the wake of Northwestern’s
“young” going through the state
of becoming a “man” last week
when the annual cap burning cere
mony made headlines characteris
ing it as a riot.
Two to three hundred freshmen,
stealing a march on the Interfra
ternity council, burned their caps,
and then invaded the five girls’
dormitories, overturning beds,
breaking windows, throwing wa
ter, and leaving the dormitories in
a state of turmoil, with an esti
mated damage of $800.
The “unguided mob action” con
tinued at two downtown theaters
where the managers let them in
free peacefully.
Overturned furniture was ex
ipected', according to the freshman
girls, but not so the wanton de
struction of expensive perfumes,
victrolas, radios tossed from third
stories through closed windows,
plus the confiscation of pictures,
bedding, and personal effects.
The girls weakened after the
turmoil, with their humanitarian
instincts giving rise to hopes that
the boys did not become ill from
smoking stolen cigarettes.
Tid-Bits...

the printing press. He knew he
wasn’t the type!—Silver and Gold.

1929 of 108 per cent at OSC and a
50 per cent increase at the Uni
versity, while the appropriation in
1929 of $5,995,054 was cut in 1938
to $5,067,637.
Other Factors Named
Other factors enhancing the de
mand for more money, the Chancel
lor said, are:
Replacement of equipment and
repairs to buildings.
Salary restorations.
Building of a chemistry building.
Hunter said that the latter need
might be met from student funds
and WPA appropriations. The new
building would cost an estimated
$500,000.
Savings through unified adminis
tration in the present budget as
compared to that of 1929-30 were
fixed by the chancellor at $332,417. j
