Two students have been suspended from
Delaware College 80 far, and the faculty is
making rigid investigation of a fight be-
tween freshmen and sophomores, which came
near terminating seriously. Some time ago
the sophomores placed a class flag on the
vane on the cupalo OF the college building,
where it remained undisturbed until last
Saturday, when some freshmen removed it.
The sophomores learned Of the removal on
Monday and started on a hunt for the
.'freshy" who had the flag. They located it
In a room and made a demand for it. AL
though faced by crowd Of sophomores the
freshman refused to surrender the flag and
threw it out of window to a number of his
class mates. The ''sophs' rushed after tho
flag, which was finally placed in the hands of
Harry Tunnell second-year man, who
rushed to his room, followed by a crowd of
freshmen, The "freshies" crowded into the
room and a freshman named Cam tackled
him. To scare the crowd Tunnel pulled a
revolver and fired it over the heads of the
students. The bullet passed through one of
the panels of the door. Robert Mitchell, Of
Elkton had narrow escape, the bullet pas
sing so close to his head as to cut Off some Of
his hair The faculty heard the shooting and
rushed to the scene. Order was restored and
an investigation started. Students Tunnel and
Cam were suspended at once. The faculty
is continuing its investigation and it is ex-
pected there will be general shake-up
among the students.
