Faculty Determined to Rid the School of Eieryihingthat Smacks ot Rowdyism. Durham, Dec. 20. A batch of eight students with deres lictions shipped from Trinity today and through a period of several days anterior to this date, gave the town some excitement today coupled with the closing of the college because of a fear of mumps becoming epidemic. Last week Trinity Park high school stopped its exer cises on account of the same feai, though at no time has there been such a condition that the schools would have closed had it not been at the end of ihe term. There were five case3 under treatment then and there are as many among the higher students, while cases of cussedness call ing for dismissal were slightly in excess ot the number of illnesses. Serious as President Kilgo is in his efforts to purge the college of any undesirable citizens in the institution, and as much as it means to the students themselves, an ac count of the affair as narated by the boys is irrepressbly funny. It isn't desired to make light of it here. The young fellows this morning and afternoon on their way home said five of them were reprimanded and expelled then because last night they were engaged in . some fun with a freshman as the butt of the joke. By the terms of their dealing, "freshie" was to be plunged in a cold bath tub, if in a "matching" con test the lots fell against him. The boys last night were using cigarette baseball pic tures. They had stacked the cards against the freshman and the moment the pictures doomed him, he shucked his clothes and fell into the De cember water. He was seen by dean W. P. Few, who in quired into the affair. It re sulted in an investigation. Dr. Kilgo took two views ofMt in the punishment. Trinity is irreconcilably against anything that smacks of hazing and this was ad judged a form of it. The freshman himself said he had agreed to do this and that there was no force used in making him take the plunge. It could not be denied that it was a technical species of gambling and the president replied that it was gambling and that they must suffer the consequences. They were or dered away. The freshman himself was dismissed, the boys declared,- upon the ground of 'indecent expo sure," and the )jvbole crowd engaged in this characteristic college stunt, lwent off Charlotte Observer. Cook Is Turned Down. Copenhagen, Ijec. 21.
