As Riot Leader
AtMary|and IT,
Other Instigotors Face
Similar Treatment,
Byrd Announces

One University of Maryland
student has been expelled and
other leaders OF Thursday nights
riot will be given similar treat
ment as soon as their identity is
determined, University President
H. c. Byrd has announced.
DR.. Byrd. in announcing the
expulsion late yesterday, declared
he does not believe that pre-
football game pep rallies should
be banned. Dean Of Men Geary
Eppley headed a faculty commit
tee meeting yesterday morning
which recommended against the
pep rallies.
An investigation Of the riot,
which tied up traffic on the Bal
timore boulvard for nearly two
hours, was continuing today.
Bonfire Was Started.
During the demonstration q
bonfire was started in the high
way, which runs through the Col
lege Park campus. Five cars were
damaged by the crowd. traffic was
blocked for miles, and police
finally fired tear gas into the group
to break up the riot. An esti-
mated 1000 persons participated
in the demonstration which grew
out of a football rally at the
women's f1eldhouse. a quarter Of
a mile from the highway.
There's nothing wrong with
football rallies" DR.. Byrd said,
"but it's all wrong to go out and
start fire on the boulevard.
1.-THE thing to do is to get the
names of those responsible and
kick them out Of school. Any
one who hasn't got more sense
than that has no place on the
university campus"
Apologies to Motorists.
DR.. Byrd refused to name the
student expelled.
Dean Eppley said his prelim-
mary investigation indicates that
many of the demonstrators
came from of the campus"
On behalf of the Student Gov
Association, Joseph D.
Tydings, son of Senator Tydings
and president of the group, issued
a statement expressing "chagrin"
and apologizing to the motorists.

HyattsviIIe Lawyer
Gets Suspended Term

John v. Hackett, Is, former
Hyattsville attorney. who entered
guilty pleas to two charges OF
larceny after trust. earlier this
week, was given three-year sus-
pended terms in the Maryland
House Of Correction on each
charge yesterday. @ l.
The Prince Georges County Cir
cult Court specified that the sem
tences were to run concurrently.
The charges involved accep-
tance from clients Of money which
he failed to return in full. and
were the same as those that led
to his disbarment October IS.
Associate Judge Charles c.
Marbury imposed the sentences
which had been deferred since
Hackett admitted the offenses
last week. ...
The court. said a doctor had in
dicated that the former attorney
was suffering from severe stomach
ulcers and would soon have to
undergo q serious abdominal
operation.
Because of that condition"
Judge Marbury said. "conf1ne.
ment in the House of Correction
probably would lead to fatal con-
sequences"
Judge Marbury said the court
had concluded that sentence
should be imposed as reminder
to other members of the legal pro-
fession and to sustain public con-
fidence.
When asked If he had any
thing to say before sentence was
pronounced Hackett said he was
terribly sorry and would appre-
ciate the courts leniency."
