STANFORD FACULTY
WROTH AT JOSHES

STANFORD UNIVERSITY, May 49,
Because of the particularly bold and
vigorous lampooning to which the fac
ulty were subjected in the recent is
sue OF the 1909 Quad the junior book
of Stanford university, Harry f. Brun-
ing, the editor in chief, and NJ. ]. Hell
mic of Denver, the josh editor, have
been dealt with summarily by the
faculty student affairs committee and
can probably never return again to
this university. This action was made
known today and has caused a consid-
eraole stir among the graduates al
though it was believed that some one
would be disciplined for the joshing.
The lampooning for which the two
students have been dropped was in
eluded in what Is known as the josh
department of the Quad,-And covered
ten pages. These pages were replete
with grotesque character sketches of
Professor A. B. Clark of the student
anairs committee, and President David
Starr Jordan, as well as other members
of the committee. DR.. Jordan was given
some very severe jabs by the college
cartoonist and writer. His proposed
scheme of converting the university
tion of the underclassmen was criticized
sharply, while 1ings at his connection
with the recent troubles were pfctori-
ally made the brunt Of the josh COL
umns.
The penalty which the student affairs
committee has meted out to the two
students reads that they are indefinitely
suspended. which is practically equiva-
lent to expulsion, but allows the stu
dents to register at some other univer-
sity In the country.
Bruning, the editor in chief was one
of the 41 students originally suspended
for participation in the so called parade
of this semester. He has during his un-
dergraduate career been prominently
Identified with student activities He
was formerly assistant editor of the
Daily Palo Alto and a member of a
local legal fraternity as well as the
press club. The Josh editor comes from
Denver and has also been prominent
In college affairs. He is a member of
the press club and as an artist has
been included q the stafrs of the
Chaparral and Sequoia The two stu
dents are prominent fraternity men.
The Quad which contained the joshes
has been tabooed by the faculty con-
trolied bookstores and cannot be sold at
the regular places on the campus. Aside
from the joshes the book has received
favorable comment from the faculty and
students

PRECOCIOUS LOTHARIo

NEW YORK. May 13.-The laws delay ia to
be worked to the limit to foresta1l the return to
New York of Robert W. Fullerton. The elder
Fullerton at st. Louis says:
i learned that the young woman was de-
mandng money from him. which | advised him
not to pay. VIII stand by my son and see him
through this trouble'
Joseph Il. Bealle, who represents Miss Hobart,
stoutly resents the insinuation that money ever
cut any figure in the transaction.
The facts are,'' he said, that a young and
fmprudent woman intrusted herself TO the wiIes
OF precocous Lothario She at once returned
to her people We have asked that young Fuller
ton give the girl his name. After that we do
not care how soon he undertakes to dissolve the
tie. 1t is not disputed that the young woman
went with him of her own free WILL though
under promise of marriage. The gravanlen of the
Indictment against Fullerton lies in the charge
of seduction
