 Fayetteville. = The student strike ended with the students winning everything they conteuded for and tho faculty losing completely.
 But the work started by the publi- cation of the "X-Ray@ is .not com pleted. A thorough investigation of conditions at the university will be made in the near future. Members of the board stated that they were amazed at some things which were brought out and substantiated by the students. The board of trustees ad- mitted that the faculty acted within their rights when it expelled the students. but the trustees stated that it is the sense of the board that the rules under which the students were expelled were too unduly oppressive, and they were promptly repealed, and the 36 students unconditionally rein stated.
 The fight made by the students for what they considered their rights has been decidedly an interesting one. When the board of trustees first met. they asked both sides to sign writ ten agreement that they would accept whatever decision the board might reach.

 Whereas. In the opinion of this board the immediate cause of the present trouble is traceable to the operation of the rules mentioned
 Be It Hereby Resolved That the aforesaid rules he and are hereby re- pealed pending the adoption of such rules as the board may deem proper and that the said students be and are hereby restored 10 their original posi- tions as studnets of the university and that the chairman of the board appoint committee of five members to take the proof and make a thorough investigation in any charges that may be formulated and filed with the said committee. either on the part of the students and the faculty and report the same 10 the board and that the board be eonyentd upon call of the chairman to act upon said report.
