HAz|NC Of ALLEN
BEFORE FACULTY

BERKELEY, Dec. 20.-Faculty in
vestigation of the affair at the Kappa
Alpha fraternity house, a fortnight
ago, when Floyd Allen, a freshman,
was the victim of a serious hazing ex-
plot with upper classmen, seems in
evitable. reports of the matter having
come to the University authorities
from sources that are deemed authentic.
Professor c. L. Cory, chairman of the
faculty committee on student affairs,
and Professor George c. Edwards, dean
of the men of the University, said to-
day that the hazing experience under
gone by young Allen would be looked
into.
President Wheeler's absence from the
University will possibly delay the in
vestigation, although the faculty men
may not consider it necessary to wait
for President Wheeler's return from
Seattle before getting the facts of the
episode.
Conflicting statements continue to
be made by the fraternity men con-
cerned in the hazing exploit. and by
others who are interested in the mat
ter. The fact that Allen has decided
to shoulder all the blame for the affair
has convinced the Kappa Alpha men
that no serious results for them will
follow any investigation made by the
authorities. Allen, imbued with the
spirit of loyalty to the frat insists
that he brought the hazing on himself
that he was to blame for it all, and
that his associates cannot justly be
charged with responsibility for his
hurts. He said today that the discip-
line he was given was coming to him."
and that no Kappa Alpha men should
be blamed because he leaped from
window to escape the hazing students,
and as result of the jump broke his
nose and several fingers.
The original story of Aliens treat
ment by the Kappa Alpha men came
from the lads mother. and supposedly
was related to her by the boy after
he had been taken home. Then he told
of having refused to obey a senior in
the fraternity house, and having been
disciplined for the offense. Now he de-
clares that his injuries followed the
throwing by him of pillow at upper
classmen, who chased him from the
house While being pursued, Allen
says, he went through a window and
in the fall injured himself.

today in Judge Ellsworth's court of his
intention to move to set aside the de-

defendant states that he was seated
at the dinner table conversing in the
most amicable manner with her when

yorce action under his nose.
Houston declares that he took these
proceedings as part of a plan con-
cocted by Mrs. Houston for his amuse-
ment. 1t was because he did not un-
derstand the serious nature of the ac-
ton that Houston neglected to file an
answer. The default was entered
against the Pullman porter on Decem-
Der 13.
