Iowa City, Feb. 22.-The men of the
freshman class of the University of
Iowa college of medicine are either sus-
pended or out on a strike. There are
three goods in the freshman class of the
college who form the only freshman
medics who are not under suspension
or in insurrection. Another coed, Olga
Averlkieff, over whom the trouble orig
inally arose, is among the strikers.
During an examination of the fresh

classes, who take much the same work.

rents seated at the top the auditorium
We're thrown about. One of these boards
struck Miss Olga Averkieff in the rib
and caused Il painful injury. President
MacLean headed an investigation in
which all the freshman needles We're
called before him privately and ques-
toned in regard to the throwing. j. r.
Howell, of Reinbeck, q halfback on the
varsity foot ball team, confessed that
he had thrown board during the gem
eral throwing but showed that his
board had caused no injury. For his
candor, he was given four weeks va

the men sentenced were many of them
innocent of any throwing at all and
even claiming complete alibi from the
class of one of the suspended members.
Nothing followed their petition to the
faculty and Friday morning the fresh
man medics resolved on n strike. The
first class was histology under Dr.
White, but no freshmen except the
three goods appeared. The strike was
maintained during the day and Friday
afternoon, 1t was asserted by the med
les this morning, telegram was sent to
Drake University at Des Moines, asking
If 1t would receive the entire freshman
class.
President G. z. MacLean was ut the
head of the investigation that resulted
in the passing of the sentences and it
is hardly possible that he will yield to
the demands of the freshmen that the
suspended ones be reinstated. A ukase
has been issued by the medical faculty
that all freshmen absent from the next
section" or dissecting work, will be
barred therefrom hereafter. This will
bring the strike to head.
