Further Explained.
The Young Man Was Only Q Student
For q Month.
Ths Young Mans Statement About the
Affair - Expelled From the
studsnts' Assocla-
tion.

Campbell, the young man who was
hazed by the students at Berkeley be-
canse it was believed that he was foot
ball spy, was subjected to further iguo-
miny yesterday by being expelled from
the Students association Of the Univer-
sity Of California. The meeting at
which this action Was taken was largely
attended. Bryan Bradley presided, Mr..
Cross was secretary, and tho following
resolutions. which were introduced by
Herbert Anthony. we're quickly adopted
without any discussion:
Whereas, A certain member OF this
body, by name 9. O. Cam obell. has been
guilty of allying himself with and of
secretly and designedly securing inior-
nation for our opponents in football.
while protesting allegiance to this insti-
tuition and whereas said Campbell did
ball game, though student OF this
institution and member OF this body !;
Resolved, That we. the Associated
Students Of the University Of California,
Ia meeting asse mbled, do hereby expel
said Campbell from this body; and,
further.
Resolved. That copies of these reso.
lutions be sent to our college papers and
the college papers OF Leland Stoniord,
jr., university, and aleo to the individual
himself.
Campbell said yesterday that he had
not belonged to the Associated students.
He IL 20 years old and 10 thin, nervy
little chap. He has ssgacity. but his
manners do not suggest . university
education. A reporter who met him
yesterday was impressed by his business
instinOts.
According to his own account, Camp.
bell WAS student at the Stanford uni
versity from September, 1898, to the end
Of the school term In May, 1894. On
September 1st OF this year he became q
special student at the University or
California, and remained such for q
month.
He said yesterday that his connection
with the Berkeley university ceased
when in October he drew the money he
had deposited a. . diploma fee. No
other notification Of his withdrawal was
needed. he remarked. He supposed.
however, that the students still regarded
him 40 one OF themselves. He did not
attend any classes, but continued to live
In Berkeley. and met other students.
Campbsll's departure from Stanford
university is reported to have been due
to an order OF the faculty. The Berkeley
football players wondered how their
Stanford rivals kept ported 90 to their
movements, and they decided that Camp.
bell had been spying on them whom
they saw him wearing Stanford colors
and hurrahing for Stanford ct the Rsms
on Thanksgiving day. Campbell, how
ever. denies that he revealed any secrets
or was in any way traitor. He said he
could not 90 . renegade in wear
ing the Stanford badge, as on Thanks
student. He told tho leaders OF the
hnzing party, he stated,s that he had
ceased his connection with the univers.
ity in October. His reason for cheering
for Stanford at the game was that he
had more friends among the Stanford
students than ct Berkeley.
He said he knew only q few Of the
Berkeley football players, and with these
he had merely bowling acquaintance.
He did not visit the Berkeley campus
after leaving the university until he was
taken there by the hAzinR crowd early
last Tuesday morning. Campbell, who
10 . nonchalant, indifferent youth, in
tends to stay in Berkeley for o while yet.
He does mot care to prosecute the sta.
dents who daubed him with nitrate OF
silver. red ink and mucilage, he said,
but hia father, who IL 2 Methodist
minister in Los Angeles. may take some
action.
The matter has not been considered
by the faculty OF the state university
yet. President Kellogg said yesterday
that the faculty might take the initi>
ative against the students implicated in
the haxing II any evidence were OBJ
tanned. So far the only information tho
faculty has 10 that given in the papers,
he remarked. and these accounts may
be exaggerated.
This 10 the first instance Of hazing at
Berkeley for i've years. The last man
previously hszed 10 now assistant re-
uorder Of the university and il is said he
IL generally liked. Strong measures to
stop hezing were taken at that time.
Though Campbsll may mot have been
attending the university ct the time he
was maltreated he WAS looked upon 90
Z student by the other yonng men, and
90 the decorations inflicted on him are
in the category OF college hazing.
Campbells shaven poll is an evidence
Of the treatment to which he was sub
jected. He had to have sll the hair on
it removed to get rid OF the mucilage,,
and the bumps Of character stand out 90
prominently ON his Uranium that he
10 now careful to keep his hat ON ia
public.
