Student Senate Formed at University
Of vermiIIion.
Vermillion.-At a meeting Of the
male upper classmen of the university
committees, were authorized and ap-
pointed to form q student senate for
the control of freshmen limitations.
and to prepare a concise truthful
statement of the condition of affairs
leading up to the formation of the sen
ate for the purpose Of refuting the
charges Of alleged cruelty to freshmen
which have emanated from here.
A statement issued by the student
committee says:
In keeping with the custom of prac-
tically colleges, the upper classmen
prescribe at the beginning of each
school year certain rules for the gov
eminent of freshmen, including that
all freshies must wear green caps till
November 1, keep to the sidewalks,
line the football field and not to
fuss" These are published broad
cast. A general and public initiation
is held at which all freshmen are put

law abiding freshmen suffer no fur.
Their annoyance.
One freshman named Miller refused
obedience to most Of these rules. He
was warned to desist, but refusing a
committee called upon him for the
purpose Of discipline, which was to
consist Of placing him OF a "bubbler'
drinking fountain. Miller fought hard,
and hit several upper classmen,
though he says unintentionally. How
ever. no one retaliated. He admits
that his toes were not torn apart, as
has been reported, and that he was
not permanently injured, though stiff
fened up for the time being. He yelled
Justify and attracted attention. Neigh
bOrs called the Waterman, and upon
his request Miller was released.
Townspeople mot Miller, freshmen
nor students) complained to the board
of deans. who have done everything
in their power to remedy the matter,
examining those charged with the dis
turbance and calling in the upper
classmen to assist in dealing with the
situation, resulting in the meeting,
with tentative arrangements, for a
student senate, to be responsible for
and control limitations. The freshmen
also met and voted that their disci-
pine he left to upper classmen.
State Hospital Successful.
Custer.-The state tuberculosis
s%anatorium. which was located in q
delightful spot near Custer about
three years ago. now has passed the
experimental stage and is proving to
be a successful institution. At pres
ent the sanatOrium can care for only
IA patients at any one time, but the
capacity is to be increased to 80 very
soon. The location of the sanitaium
is an ideal one. both as to altitude and
health giving surroundings. it being
situated in the heart of the pine-clad
Black Hills. A new pavilion for the
use of patients now is nearing compile
ton, and in addition an infirmary and
a laundry are being constructed. Thus
far nearly all cases in which the dis.
ease has not advanced too far are be-
ing helped. and a number of patients
have been discharged from the SAM
tarium as cured. Within the past few
weeks WI young women have left the
institution, apparently restored to
health. The sanatorium is under the
management of DR.. w. L. Woodwork,
formerly a practicing physician OF
Sioux Falls.
