TO END HAzING
AT DELAWARE
Upper CIaSSmen in Meeting
Take Action to Govern
the Freshmen"
RESULT OF CLASH
BETWEEN CLASSES

Special to THE EVENING JOURNAL.
NEWARK, Del, Sept. 19.-With the
opening of Delaware College last
Thursday, the old rivalry between the
two lower classes burst into flame.
Within the past few years the haz-.
ing at the college has been an event
of great interest 10 the Sophomore and
Freshman classes. AS a result the
parents of many Delaware boys have
refused to permit their sons 20 at
tend the state institution and con-
sequently "Old Delaware" has been
deprived of many of its rightful stu
dents. This tide OF affairs has be-
come especially prevalent among the
residents of Sussex and lower Kent
counties. Finally the Faculty of the
State College became aware of the
seriousness of the situation that was
staring the institution in the face; so
they have concluded to prevent any
kind OF hazing whatsoever at Della
ware College.
Within the past ten years the col
legiate year has always been opened
with a rush between the Sophomores
and Freshmen on the grass of the
back campus. Prior to 1909 a simple
wrestling match was the kind Of a
rush that prevailed. Last year a
pole rush was the order of events.
However both kinds of combats were
deemed injurious to the physique of
the participants, the first, becausb
the boys to often had their wind
knocked out; the second, because too
many fellows gathered around the pole
and consequently they were too LA
BILE to be smothered to death. This
year each man was given two yards
or rope and told to try to tie the men
of the opposing class. The affair
proved to be a success in that no one
was hurt a particle and it also prov
ed better scrap" from the specta-
tors standpoint as there seemed to be
more old time fun in it.
The Freshmen gloriOusly won the
rush and this seemed to be a stimu-
liant for still greater deeds by them
Contrary TO all preceding classes anc
class history OF the college, the
Freshmen went and got two "Sophs'
on Tnprsday night and proceeded Z
pav fhem. back ia their own n1edicin'
for several of their deeds Of the nigh

 The tale of these venturesome pio-

That the bodies of the four members comprising the party are not now lying beneath the snows of the hills of Northeastern Arizona oi III thC HdlCiS OL oOult luLDuLchl stream is due only to the pluck and courage exhibited individ- ually by the quartet and to a direct ing Providence which brought them out of situations calculated to re- duce even the most courageous to a state of utter despair.

Const,;tut,ona7 Contention

PHOENIX, Ariz., Nov. 22.-Educa- tional and labor matters received attention from the convention today.

 The Kinney proposition was amend ed. The section prohibiting the em- ployment of more than 20 per cent alien labor was considered a viola tion of the Fourteenth Amendment to the Constitution of the United States, but that prohibiting of person not speaking the English language being employed underground or in any hazardous occupations, was adopted.
 Segregation of whites and negroes in schools was defeated. The present law remains, which provides that the school districts may.

 PHOENIX, Ariz., Nov. %. - The convention, after a heated debate, at the night session, adopted the prOvis- ion of the election law calling for educational qualification of voters, by a vote of g to 21.
 Ingraham of Yuma voiced the warning that a Republican Congress would never place its approval on a Constitution which sealed the doom of the Republican party in Arizona, as the educational restrictions would for years preclude the election of Republican Senator
