K. U. STUDENTS MAY STRIKE
Threatened Suspension of Law School
Men Causes Stir at State
University.

A strike among all the students OF
the law school at the University of
Kansas may result if Harold Delongy,
/ Ralph Sproull and Robert Lindsay,
whose names were mentioned in con-
nection with an unauthorized rally
held recently are suspended by the
student council of the university. The
faculty, it is understood, has request
ed that all students found to have been
connected with the rally be suspended
for the remainder of the semester.
The student council believes the
proposed punishment is unnecessarily
severe and refuses to suspend anyone
for more than week. The law stu
dents, classmates of the three men
charged with starting the rally, de-
clare that they will refuse to go to
class if the men are suspended at all.
A few students started out from
Green Hall, home of the law school,
and routed students from their classes
by yelling in the halls of the various
university buildings. The accused stu
dents all are prominent in university
activities. Lindsay's home is at 2306
Halleck street, Kansas City, Kas.
Sproull, whose home is in Lawrence,
is a star basket ball man, and Delongy
of Mena, Ark, played on the univer-
sity baseball team last spring.
