STUDENT BUSTED FOR
SCORING DR.. SEAMAN
Action Causes Outbnrst of In
dignation Among Students
at Dakota Wesleyan.

Mitchell, s.. D., May 27.-Because he
admitted his connection with the publ
cation of a pamphlet attacking the ad-
ministration of DR.. w. G. Seaman.
president of Dakota Wesleyan univer-
sity, Peter V. Brethorst, of Canton. S.
D., was placed under the ban of sus-
pension yesterday by the university au-
thorities. Brethorst was a senior and
in a couple of weeks would have been
entitled to his diploma from the college
of arts.
The suspension of Brethorst has
created a huge sensation on the cam
pus and owe the city. He has been
prominent in leading college activities
and is a student preacher at Farmer,
S. d. Many expressions of indignation
at the action Of the authorities are Ta-
ing heard for the reason that Brethorst
had the courage to admit his part in
the publication of the pamphlet pub
lisked by upper classmen. while others
who We're concerned in the affair have
denied any part in it and will be al
lowed the honors of graduation.
Several hundred copies Of the pamph-
let. called THE Student Voice." were
distributed about the campus early in
April. Later, several petitions We're
circulated among the students calling
for the resignation of DR.. Seaman. The
petitions, signed by a majority of the
students, were presented to the univer-
Sity executive board.
