HAZING MUST STOP
SAYS ABERCROMBIE
THREE STUDENTS HAVE AL |
READY BEEN EXPELLED FROM
THE UNIVERSITY ON THIS
CHARGE AND OTHERS MAY GO.

Tuscaloosa September 13.-(Special y
The announced determination of the fac
ulty of the university to do away with
the practice of hazing is being forcibly
impressed upon the students daily. There
is constant suspense among those who
have been guilty of violating the regu-
lations covering this point, each one
seeming to fear that he will be the next
one disciplined. Two members of the junior
class were this morning dismissed, max
ing three to be punished for running
the new men. Word has also gone the
rounds that six or more other cases are
being considered by President Abercrom-
bic and that dismissas of all whose
names are concerned will probably re-
suit.
Comment upon the matter among the
older students is free and sometimes bit
ter. They seriously resent the impression
which has gone out, that the hazing is
worse this year than formerly and say,
almost unanimously, that the contrary is
the case. According to those who have
been here several years, the custom grows
constantly less general and this opening
has witnessed less Objectionable hazing
than any previous one President Aber-
crombie, however, seems determined to
stamp out the practice entirely and is
making earnest efforts along these lines.
A large consignment of football uni
forms which was delayed in the shipment
arrived this morning and its distribution
was begun. 1t is hoped that the squad
will grow rapidly in size and that heavier
men will present themselves as candi-
dates for the varsity. The present outlook
is gloomy and unless more material comes
in, there is slight chance Of equalling.
