and that the freshman class be not
asked to pay for more than half the
damage.
The damage to the building
amounts to <1976.48. according to
the results of a careful survey made
by university architects, Dr. Splawn
said.
Officers for the freshman class
during the fall and winter terms
were asked to meet in the office of
the president Wednesday night at
7 o’clock to present thelr side of the
fight, and all other freshmen who
have definite information that
might aid the investigating com-
mittee were asked to present it in
writing to Dean L. H. Hubbard.

Warns Against Rushes.
The president then asked what
the freshmen thought would be a
fair means of settling the damage
done. Murrin Clark rose and
thanked the president for the way
he had treated them and suggested
that the class pay their part of the
damage. He was cheered loudly
when he finished.
Cards were passed out to the
freshmen to sign, so that the au
thorltles might have a roll of those
who took part in the affair and
were willing to stand by the de-
cision of the faculty committee to
allocate the damages.
Dr. Splawn then took up the
question of a second raid on B. hall.
He recalled to the class that one
of their members is now in the hos-
pital with an arm paralyzed as a
result of the fight and declared:
"Rushes that make for homicide
are entirely too serious to indulge.
In an attack of that sort men are
bound to get hurt It' is a tall
building and there are many loose
things in it Some of them are
going to get loose, and the law of
grayity is inexorable.”

Freshman Heads Clipped.
Offenses committed during the
fight will be Investigated and treat-
ed individually, each man being
held responsible for the part he
took. Dr. Splawn said. What pun-
ishment will be assessed against
those found to have taken part will
be entirely up to the committee, he
said.
When asked to pledge themselves
against any further attack on B.
hall or any further raiding parties,
several freshmen asked the presi-
dent to give them assurance that
