OBJECTED TO BEING HAzEp.
Filipino Student at Anne. Uses Knife
When Told 70 poff Hat

Ames. Sept. 20-The American sense
of hunor and a Filipino failed to con-
meet here Friday and as a result a
fraternity sophomore is carrying a
nicely bandaged hand and came close to
being entirely without the aforesaid
member.
The sophomores were engaged in a
little harmless hazing. by teaching the
younns AID verdant freshman proper
respect for the sedate and dignified
sophomores, when a young Filipino ap-
preached the group.
He was decidedly green and besides
knew but little English and less of
American college customs. When asked
TO remove his hat in the presence OF
the august sophomores. he failed to do
so, and the leader took it on himself
20 take 4 off for him.
The Filipino misunderstood the ac-
ton, taking it for deadly insult;
drew a long knife and attempted to
carve up the sophomore. He cut a
thumb nearly off, and was ready for
more, when he was rushed and dis
armed. Needless to say the hazing for
the day was abandoned.
