RESOLUTIONS
BY STUDENTS
MALE MEMBERS OF CADET CORPS
AT UNIVERSITY TAKE Ac-
TON ON VANDALISM.
Action of Student and Non-student in
Destroying Personal and State
Property Investigated, With Re-
suit That Both Men Apoloqized
n Faculty Was Notified.

A few days ago a couple of young
men, II a student at the University
of Wyoming and the other a non-stu-
dent, visited the university building
and did considerable damage in the
cloak and toilet rooms of the male
members of the student body. Hats
were stuffed into the water closet, a
large amount of paper was torn from
the wall, overcoats were shifted from
one room to another and the sleeves
were SO knotted and fastened as to
require considerable effort to straight
en- things out and worry and annoy
ance to the students and other mis-
chief was done.
Military Court Martial.
The male students took the matter
into their own hands and set about an
investigation, without laying the case
before the faculty, believing they
would have little difficulty in ferreting
out the dastardly matter and bringing
the culprits to book. In this they were
eminently successful, n within
twenty-four hours of the time of the
commission of the deed the student
member of the pair had made partial
confession, duplicating the n%on-student
member unquestionably. Both young
men were brought before the commits
stoned officers of the two companies
Of cadets, sitting as a sort of military
court martial, and each made absolute
confession, later openly %apologizing
and promising to let this be the end
of such pranks.
Unanimous Action of Body.
The matter was in the hands of Cap,
tain Hill as the spokesman for the ca.
diets, and yesterday afternoon, at the
meeting of the faculty, the following,
as the unanimous action Of the male
student body, was presented and made
a part of the records of the faculty for
that meeting. The student culprit is a
non-commissioned officer, but his rank
was not degraded upon recommends
ton, as he had made the most abject
apology, not alone for the misdeed
but his attempt first to deny all con.
n~ection n later to shift the bulk OF
the blame upon his companion.
The Resolutions.
Whereas, We, the students of the
University of Wyoming. do enjoy a
very large amount of liberty in the
use of buildings and other public prop
erty of this institution, which is fur
nished us by the taxpayers of the
state; and,
Whereas, We hope to see this lib.
erty extended rather than %curtailed;
and,
Whereas, A considerable amount
of u W private property, such as
hats, coats and books, has to be un,
protected except by the sentiment OF
the student body regarding private
property; we, the male students OF
the University of Wyoming, do hereby
adopt the following resolutions:
Conduct unbecoming Student.
RESOLVED, That the destruction of
public property by any means or the
DETACHMENT OF the same by cutting,

a gentleman.
Resolved, That any hiding or un'
necessary moving of hats, coats OF
books, or any other student property
by anyone except the owner of the
same, shall hereafter be considered as
conduct u~nbecoming to a university
student and gentleman.
Recalcitrant May Be Reported.
Resolved, That it shall be deemed
the duty of each individual student
to order another student who acts in
any way contrary to above resolutions
to cease the same, and in case the

obedience thereof to the assembly Of
male students.

cred the privilege of the assembly oil
male students to decide upon the prop
