COLUMBUS. Mo, March 2G.-At a
meeting Of the Missouri University
authorities today it was determined to
charge the students of the junior en-
gineering class $2G.5O for their fun
this week on the tower surmounting
the academic hall. The sophomore
and freshmen engineers have been at
war for some time performing num-
erous pTanks on each other, the most
serious being a free-for-all fight over
dummy last Saturday night. This
week the juniors took a hand. They
did not resort to blows, but determn-
ed to arouse the envy of the other
classes by daring exhibitions in the
art of high climbing. Above the
dome surmounting the main building
is a small tower, the only access to
which is through a narrow iron cyl
inder, just large enough to- admit the
body of one man
A party of juniors climbed to the
tower through the cylinder aud fas-
tened a sign-board bearing the word
engineers in large letters to the
highest point above the dome. In
sealing up the cylinder, the students
did their work so well that it required
skliled workmcn several hours to
undo the mischief 1t cost the uni
versity $2650. and the authorities feel
justified in commanding the students
to pay the damage. The juniors
promptly determined to pay up.
