Discipline Committee Going to Rot
tom Of "All Fools Day" Rebellion
and the End Is Not Yet

Forty-eight out Of ninety-two mem
bers Of the junior class of Clemson
College and one suspended on Sat
urday for disobedience OF orders on
April |. The boys left college and
went to Pendleton some miles away
on "Wednesday, when they had been
commanded not to do so. They also
sent disrespectful kilograms back to
several of the professors. After full
Investigation the discipline committee
sentenced forty-elght members OF the
Junior class to expulsion and one to
suspension The committee has not
yet reported on the sophmore and
freshman classes, many Of whose
members took part in the escapade.
None OF the senior class were invol-
we'd in the trouble. 1t is deplorable
affair
Nearly all the dismissed cadets say
that they realize that they did wrong
and that they deserve punishment.
There seems TO be an absence Of re-
sentiment In fact those dismissed
are anxious that no student Shall
leave on their account or because Of
any pledge that they would stick to
the class. n. S. Allen, captain OF the
root ball team says that he was a
leader aftr ethc affair got started
and that he has no kick coming on
his punishment He expects to do al
in his power to keep any other stu
dent from going because OF any com
pact or their sympathy. His sensible
action will be followed by many OF
the dismissed cadets. 1t is not like
~ that any considerable number eX-
cept those dismissed will leave.

The night was very dark and the
Berwick was steaming slowly. When
the destroyer attempted to cross the
big cruisers bow she was caught
amidships and cut in half with knife
like percison, sinking almost immc-
diately.
The deck crew who were dressed i'll
heavy oilskins and boots, went down
with the vessel, not having time to
free themselves from these heavy en-
Gumbranccs.
OF the twenty two men who were
rescued most Of them were engineers
and stokers, who having light cloth

a6oat until boats from the other
ships, which were immediately
launched picked them up.
The smaller naval vessels were in

men. Most of them however, sank
before help could reach them. The
