NEITHER SIDE TALKS
ABOUT STUDENT STRIKE
Not Apparent Any Settlement Has
Followed Howard University
Conference.

Neither faculty nor students of
Howard University would make any
comment today regarding the trouble
among the students of the senior
classes of the College of Arts and
Sciences and the Teachers College,
which resulted in the majority of the
seniors being temporarily suspended
following "frivolity day" Monday.
The faculty of deans refused to grant
the seniors the use of Spaulding hall
in connection with their celebration
Monday, but the students took possess
sion OF the hall. anyway. For this
action they were temporarily suspend
ed. 1t was announced yesterday after
noon that the seniors and faculty
were in conference and that the
strike" would be settled.
1t is not known today whether any
settlement has been reached or not,
and from the continued silence on the
part of faculty and students when ap-
preached upon the subject today it
would seem to those interested that no
settlement had been reached. The re-
fusal of the senior students to meet
the faculty's requests constitutes one
Of the most serious situations which
have arisen in the history Of the institu-
ton, friends Of the university feel. 1t
had been hoped by them that settle
ment of the student difficulty, involv-
ing the highest classes of the institu-
ton, would be reached today.
