Show 1 - A Cold Day for University Students. Madison, Wis., December 10. Twenty sophomores and freshmen of the State University Uni-versity were indefinitely suspended from that institution yesterday. " On Tuesday about forty members of the two classes signed an agreement to the effect that they would not attend military drill in the afternoon after-noon from 3:30 to 4:30 o'clock on days that were, "bitter cold." About twenty kept the agreement, but the ." rema'nuer weakened when .. the . hour arrived to put in an- appearance at ,ne drill exercises. Those uu failed to ap oear were suspended. The trouble, it it claimed by the boys, ha3 arisen from th( very strict discipline the new professor ol military tactics has instituted. He require! that each student shall appear at drill witL a black tie, cleanly shaven face and polished pol-ished shoes. Other requirements of a military mili-tary character are exacted. A failure to somply in respect to these constitutes a black mark, and five marks are said to be sufficient to give a student his dismissal. |
