Student Body Meets
STANFORD UNIVERSITY, Marcf
19-The situation at Stanford remains
practically unchanged, though stu
dent body meeting has been called fol
at which some action will be taken as
to the next move to be made to secure
the reinstatement of the twelve stu
dents dismissed Tuesday.
The student affairs committee after a
ytwo-hour's session this noon refused 10
take action on the petition presented
yesterday, in which 263 men identlllel
themselves as members of the paIaoe
and asked for the same treatment Us
given those dismissed.
The committee issued a statement
saying that each signer of the peution
would be given an individual hearliiS :
10 determine whether or not he really
participated in the parade. This acton
is considered a mere evasion OF the
issue, as those who have gone be1ofs
the committee have merely reiterated
The statement that they were parucl-
nants and identified their signatures.
The committee refuses to give its de-
.ision until this investigation is COM
pleted. but from the statements OF
Professor Clark it is supposed all those
who admit participation will be dis
missed. as he states that the signature
is considered an evidence of guilt.
The committee of students proposed
several plans to the faculty committee
this morning in an attempt to settle the
DISPUTE, but all were refused on the
ground that they could not retract IN
a matte. of student body discipline.
A last attempt was made to secure
The reconsideration of the dismissal OF
The twelve students by suggesting a
guarantee of cooperation in maintain
ing order to be made by prominent up
per classmen, but this also met WITH
refusal.
In case any more students are dis
missed a general walkout of the entire
student body is almost certain, ana u
is not improbable that such action VIII
be taken to secure the reinstatement OF
the original twelve.
Several of the faculty are said to be
inclined to side with the students.
In the list of the twelve suspended
students is the captain of the varsity
track team and the captain OF the
varsity crew. two men on whom the
cardinal places great hopes for inter
collegiate victories in the spring ath-
letic contests. No more popular men
can be found on the Stanford campus
today than Frederic r. flanagan,
brother of the football coach. and
champion pole vauter of the Pacif1c
coast. and Leslie r. Cay the big,
genial oarsman. Both men were SEN
iors and stood ready to graduate TINS
summer
Another prominent senior whose
hopes for a diploma this year have
been spoiled by the faculty edict Is
John +. Gushing, former editor of the
Daily Palo Alto.
Still another is Harry S. Ross, one
of the cleverest amateur actors in the
college.
Two prominent junior athletes are
also on the list. Gorham l.. Goodell
is ON the varsity baseball team ana
Frank b. Mayors was forward wing
on the varsity football team last fall.
Frank j. Macomber is another junior
who has been suspended. William +.
Fuller, jr., one of the sophomores who
fas been disciplined. is the son of the
founder of w. P. Fuller &s Co. Ken
meth M. Green and Sheldon NJ. Bat
tcrson, both prominent athletes, and
Harry w. Mason conclude the list of
sophomores who are in trouble.
The only freshman on the list is
Arthur Taylor of Los Angeles.
