SOPHOMORE CLASS AT THE
UNIVERSITY TO WALK OUT
Students, Boys and Girls, to the Number of Forty
Sign Agreement to Bolt
Faculty Refuses Renate the Ten Suspended Members and
Sympathzers Will Leave School Today.

n VERY member Of the sophomore
class of the University of Utah
has signed a written agreement
to walk out of the school today and re-
main out until the ten sophs suspended
a few days ago are reinstated- The
class, boys and girls included. purposes
boiling at noon and, if possible, they
will take the whole student body with
them.
This action is the result OF the re-
fusaI of the faculty to reinstate the
ten suspended boys in accordance with
the petition drafted by the students a
few days ago. The sophomOres, about
forty III number, say that in striking
they viii not feel that they are in re-
bellion against the school or it's au
thorities. but that they are simply TAX
ing a stand for what they consider
their rights, and against an injustice
to some of the number. The students
are thoroughly aroused, and say that
now they have taken q stand they VIII
stay by it to the bitter end
Position of the Faculty.
Yesterday afternoon the faculty of
the school met and considered the petit
ton drafted by the students at their
meeting Friday asking that the ten
suspended boys be reinstated. The
matter was presented by members Of
the faculty in this light That the ten
boys, in refusing to apologize to the
school as demanded by the faculty, had
shown INSTRUMENTATION to the school
authorities and they must be punished
for it, So far as the throwing of cab
bage and celery at the Theatre was
concerned the members of the faculty
did not think that was an Offense for
which any one should be suspended,
but inasmuch as they had been asked
to apologize for this conduct. and they
had refused to comply with that order
they were guilty Of INSTRUMENTATION.
Consequently, the vote was unanimous
that the boys should not be reinstated
unless they would make written apol-
Ogy to the school, as demanded by the
faculty at first.

the affair is settled in some way.
