During, STUDENTS' FATE HANGS 0N TRIAL Professor Cory of Affairs Committee Promises Eight Belligerents Fair Hearing —_——— CAMPUS TALKS IT OVER Freshmen and Special Offi- cer Exchange Pistol Shots 1 Berkeley Office San Francisco Cail, 2148 Center street, March 24. All the talk on the campus at the University of * California to-day con- cerned the fate of the eight students | on Charter day eve by Professor C. L. Cory and his posse of imported sleuths |frem Oakland. To be or not to be, | that was the question. Will they “get fired” or will they stay? Will the “fire department,” which is the other name for the students’ affairs committee, turn the hose of disgrace upon the un- lucky eight or will it overlook thein offense? But even Professor Cory woulda't answer any of these questions. And (o be sure he is the only one who knows. The Oakland police do not presume (o be familiar with such affairs or on the inside at all. Professor Cory even withheld the names of the eight. The only one that anybody really knows is that of the fellow caught on Charter Hill. It is Joseph Lamson, a post graduate. It was understood that the eight had been summarily dismissed immediately after their arrest, but it transpired to- day that this is not so. They are all to be given a trial before the students’ affairs committee. On the outcome of that trial depends whether they stay or not. Just what charge the committee can bring against the students is something: of a mystery. None of those captured were on Charter Hill and none were engaged in a rush: so it remains for the committee to charge that they v lated the spirit of the committee manifesto that there must be no at- tempt at rushing. The committee takes the ground that the students wouid have rushed if they could. It was the ounce of prevention, administered by the committee, that prevented. ““The affair will be fully investigated by the committee,” said Professor Cory to-day. ‘“Every man caught will be given a full hearing by us. He will have a chance to fully explain his ac- tions on Wednesday morning. This meeting will be held in a day or so, probably to-morrow.” It developed to-day that there was seme shooting yesterday morning in Co-ed Canyon, to which a lot of fresh- men and a night watchman were the | parties. The watchman's name James Smith. He came upon the stu dents in the canyon and ordered them to move on. They did move on, but {had not gone far when one of them fired two shots. Smith fired a shot to attract the attention of Prof#ssor Cory and his posse, but by the time they arrived the belligerents had fled faor away. EVENTS IN SOCIETY OAKLAND, March 24.—The luncheon given by Miss Burdge to the members of her bridal party to-day was an unusually pretty and de- lightful affair.

Ie Lester Birch, 16 years old, a United | States postoffice messenger, was struck | this evening shortly before 9 o'clock by | an east-bound Seventh street local train at Willow and Seventh streets and both his legs were cut off below the knees. The boy was crossing the track on his bicycle and did not see the train approaching in time to save himself. The engine struck him and several cars passed over his legs before the train | was stopped. C. S. Griffith carried the mangled boy to a nearby drug store, whence he was removed to the Receiving Hos- pital. The surgeons amputated the crushed limbs, but said there was little chance for the injured boy’s recovery, so serious was the shock and the hem- orrhage. Young Birch had gone to West Oak- land with special delivery letters. His first thought through all of the shock and suffering was for the mail that had been given in his care. “Whatever you do to me,” said the plucky young mes- senger, “look out for those letters. They must be taken in charge by somébody from the postoffice.” Birch's home is at 428% Eleventn street, where he resides with his moth- er. Peculiarly pathetic was the occur- rence, the boy's mother being seriously il and in - straitened circumstances. His earnings went to support her. UNIVERSITY EVENTS BERKELEY, March 24 —The senior class plans to replace the Le Conte memorial tablet in front of the Le Conte oak on commencement day. It will be mounted upon a marble col- umn that has been given to the university by the Raymond Granite Company. This col- umn will be placed directly in front of the tree, so that it may be seen by the thousands who pass and repass it. The tablet originally occupled a place In the forks of the tree, but was taken away several months ago on the advice of the foresters of the university, who sald that it was helping to kill the tree by reGucing_the surface exposed to the atmos- phere. It was intended to replace the tablet on Le Cohte Memorial day, but the failure of_the shaft of granite to arrive prevented this. Max Thelen, president of the Associated Students, has fixed Friday, April §, as the day for making the nomination of officers of the Assoclated Students for next term.
