A white oval sped through the
early morning air and shattered
against the staunch walls of the
mems dormitory at Gallaudet Col
lege. From the shattered missile
exuded a painful odor.
1t was the opening shot in the
Battle Of Kendall Green, this egg
hurled from the hand of an
athletic coed. And, like that of
the. embattled farmers of revolu-
tionary fame. it still echoes round
the world, the little world of
Gallaudet, that is.
Suspension Threatened.
For the egg, reputedly old enough
to vote, and it's numerous brothers
forming the ammunition Of the femi-
nine collegians, while directed at the
sleeping quarters of the men, figura-
lively splattered the dignity Of the
faculty and institution.
Suspensions Of those involved are
in order and President Hall and his
cOnfereres are much exercised over
the most daring prank in the history
Of Gallaudet.
Through it was on May 10 that the
egg .hurling episode occurred, the
story spread beyond the walls OF
Kendall Green only today.
The girls who occupy Fowler Hall
are said to have found strict rules as
to hours of retiring more than irk-
some.
So, rising a little before the dewy
dawn of the date mentioned, they
stole past the chapel and to the rear
of the combined office and mems
dormitory building.
There they commenced a fusil-
lade of eggs, all antiques. Many
splattered the walls, but some
found their way into the sleeping
rooms, awakening students from
sweet dreams to noisome realities.
Into this animated scene Watch
man Groves precipitated himself
with an eye to duty and a glance
of instant recognition of those
young women who were not warn
ed of his approach in time to scurry
back to their dormitory.
The unfortunates, now con-
dcmned to do penance, are said to
be Helen Moss, Of Maryland, class
OF 1923: Mary Klaits. "a, and Eliz-
aheth Hassett, "a, both Of Phila-
delphia; Doris Balance. '25, Of Kan
sas, and Minnie Sowell, '25, Of Cal
ifOrnia.
After due consideration of the
cases, sentence of suspension for an
indefinite period was pronounced, ac-
cording to those recounting the af-
fair.

eds implicated hastened to Washing
ton and conferred with DR.. Hall.
The suspensions, ii Is said, are
not to take effect until the end Of
the college year.
Representations OF regret have
been freely forthcoming, and II is
possible the faculty will relent and
restore the fair culprits TO good
standing.
Girls Restricted.
For the nresrnt, the information
continues, the five girls arc restrict
ed to Fowler IIall from ! D. IN. to
a. M, have been put on bOurds dur.
ing the day, and have been denied
their usual social privileges. AS far
as inquiries are concerned they are
being held incommunicado.

hour OF the night-or morning
selected for the staging Of the
cscapade 1t was not until 4:45
a. m. that the egg barrage was laid
down, in keeping perhaps with the
best military tradition that n dawn

DIR. Hall Wrathy.
And before the chaste walls Of
the mems dormitorv and the floors
NJ several rooms were restored to
their pristine cleanliness, heavy ap.
pliCations Of suds and water were
necessary.
DR.. Hall is not at all inclined to
view the affair in a light manner.
He believes II prejudicial to the
repute Of Gallaudet and declared
today that II was the first tine
anything Of the kind, smaCking OF
low comedy" according to him,
had occurred at Kendall Green.
With that gay insouciance which
