Recent Unpleasantness Regard

Vermilion. 8. D., Oct. 21-Further his

government In the university of South
Dakota is desirable as record and as
tending toward q final adjustment un-

and authority to make a bigger and
better university for the state.
According to previous report q
meeting October II, called by
the Commission" for the purpose OF
inducing the student body to take a po-
Bition against hazing was "queered
by The angry and insulting speech OF
Dean Akeley.
The net result was to unite the stu
dents in defense OF the hazers. Thus q
comparatively simple matter involving
p few students was TUNED into one
OF the serious import In which a con-
siderable portion OF the student body
Is involved. The students however

straight faces. .L
ON Thursday the faculty took up the
case Of hazing and 1t is rumored sus-
pended six students, but since announ-
cement is to be withheld pending APP
lproval by the regents II may not be
said anyone is actually suspended. M
faculty further decided that the I'M
authorized entrance of the rooms or
students, or subjecting fellow students
to indignities of any kind is q viola
ton Of university discipline. This ac-
ton may complicate affairs Tor the
student senate.
In the meantime the students have
not been idle. Miller Is reported as
saying that he has now Deen hazed
five times. The last hazing occurred
OF Thursday just about the time the
regents were assembling for their meet
ing and preceding the faculty meeting.
This incident, accidentally or otherwise,
was well timed to indicate to those two
bodies just how h students feel on the
question of hazinR.
The young man went as a member
of the band to the station to see the
football team off for Saturdays game
with Notre Dame. While near h
station he was taken from the band
and given q close haircut in to lines,
one from front to back. the other across
the head. III,
The situation is somewhat ominous.
1t is believed however, that the re-
gents Will be able to handle the case
with such Judgment as to avoid any
serious interruption Of university work.

ABERDEEN HAS PROSPECT
OF POLITICAL CAULpRON

Aberdeen. s. D., Oct. 20.--lt has Deer
rumored for several days that Lester y.
Van Slyke, an Aberdeen lawyer, would
Announce his candidacy for h repub-
IJcan for congress from h
second district. Mr.. Van Slyke stated
TODAY that he Is seriously considering
the idea. and his announcement may
annear at any time. He came to Aber-
deem from Iowa IL years ago n forged
rapidly to the front, both ! law
and politics. He served four years as
states attorney OF Brown county, and
was one Of the state presidential elect
ors nominated by the republicans last
wear who voted with his colleagues on
ma ticket for Theodore Roosevelt Tor
nresident. He has been affiliated with
the progressive wing OF the party \
the state.
The announcement Of Colonel How

will enter the race for congress-. gives
Aberdeen three candidates for the re-
Duhlican congressional nomination. and
nns for the Senate. All four men are
live wires, and the contest promises TO
be Interesting to the home folks.
A~berdeen's other w c~andioates Los
are Royal G. Johnson, the
present attorney general of South Da-
kota. and Frank McNulty, judge OF the
Fifth judicial circuit.
Johnson possibly makes a greater
appeal to the popular imagination than
