LAWS MEET
THEY ARE VERY INDIGNANT AT
What Is Consid-red the Unreasonable Demand of the Disciplinary Committee-Regents Present.
What means this unusual stir in the Law school? What means this consultation of battalions of law students with the disciplinary committee in the University carpenter shop? These animated groups of boys talking excitedly, shaking their heads, and wearing set, determined looks upon their faces? What means finally this enthusiastic joint meeting of Juniors and Seniors?
It is all over a chair, not the chair of a new professorship, not even a professor's chair, but a common, hard-bottomed wooden chair. One day last week a prominent Senior started to sit down in the now famous chair. One or two of his friends thought as the chair was weak it might be better if the prominent Senior should sit on the floor instead. Consequently they tried to pull the chair out from under him. The prominent Senior was equally determined to stay on the chair. The chair broke and took it to the carpenter shop.
That chair was, figuratively speaking, the last straw. Some half dozen or more chairs—Superintendent White says a hun dred had been broken in this way before. Some half dozen others had fallen to pieces from old age.
But to return to our chair or to the remains of it, Superinlendant White was mad. He siezed a part of the broken chair as evidence, and then sought out the disciplinary committee with blood in his eye.
The disciplinary, in turn sought out the boys but not with blood in their eyes. The committee always keeps too cool for that. The committee proceeded to tell the boys what an absolutely Lawless set they were, how they were constantly disturbing the other classes in Fraser hall—all three members of the committee by the way have no classes in Fraser hall and are only occasional visitors in that building—and how heinous a crime they had committed. Finally they said the amount of damage must be made good. If this were not done, all sorts of dire calamities were predicted from wholesale suspensions to the closing up of the whole Law school.
At last the committee after a consulta
tion with the president of the two classes decided to ask for a joint meeting of the two classes to appoint a committee to confer with the disciplinary committee.
The joint meeting was called to order,
and President Sherman of the Seniors presided, President Sherman said that Supertendent White placed the damage at $50. This outrageous figure made the boys mad.
Some eight or ten fiery speeches were then made, "Millions for defense but not one cent for tribute" was the burden of their song. The whole thing was branded as an attempt to bulldoze the Law school into paying for old chairs, fallen to pieces, from old age.
During most of this time the regents were in the back part of the room. They had come to learn the sentiment of the boys and they had learned it. The boys in front finally caught sight of them and called on Regent Scott for a speech. Senator Scott found it was rather dangerous to get up on a chair where all could see him, but was finally induced to do so on condition that the boys would hold the chair together, So with three boys holding the chair he made from this perilous platform, a characteristic speech. Speaking in a personal capacity Senator Scott said with the falsest trace of sarcasm in his voice and just the slightest suspicion of 'joshing' in his words, that he had no doubt the boys were right even in their most extreme position, but speaking officially he advised them to be reasonable.
Regent Crowell was called for and spoke in the highest terms of the school.
The committee asked for was finally appointed and the meeting adjourned.
A reporter for THE WEEKLY took advantage of the hull succeeding the meeting to visit the basement and survey the wreck of "560" worth of broken chairs.
On the floor were the scattered remains of three or four chairs which were certainly in a state of total collapse. One of these was the chair which gave way under Prof. Olin one day this week. In a corner was a pile of disabled chairs, most of which with a little glue and a few nails could be made as good as they were the first of the year.
And this was all that could be seen of that wholesale wreckage claimed by the worthy superintendent of grounds and buildings. Evidently fully ninety-five of the supposed hundred have been used for kindling wood.
WHAT THE COMMITTEE FOUND.
Mr. White Comes Down on His Figureeer. The committee appointed by the Laws to meet the disciplinary committee meet with Superintendent White to assess the damage.
Mr. White came down from his $50 estimate to $23.05 when forced to come to specific items.
This recession from yesterday's exorbitant charge, put a different phase on matters and there is no doubt that the boys will settle in full by private subscription, notwithstanding that part of the charge is for natural wear and tear and for ordinary repairs.
Rescued from a Muddy Fate.
It was midnight in the little town of Eudora. The night was dark and cloudy and the road was a mass of thick and sticky mud A horse and buggy were driven out of the door of the village livery stable. Within were a couple and on his breast he shield the shield and sword of Pi Delta Theta, while she wore the arrow of Pi Beta Phi pinned her dress. Slowly the horse picked his way through the sea of mud. The world seemed filled with a mucky cloud of darkness; which the eagle eye of the youth could not pierce. They had hardly passed the limits of the town when suddenly the horse seemed to disappear and the buggy plunged into the depths of a deep ditch.
But the brave youth did not lose his presence of mind. With firm hand he gathered up the lines, and after speaking words of encouragement to his companion, urged the horse forward: The plucky animal put forth a great effort, and struggled up the opposite side of the ditch. But still upward and upward the poor horse was compelled to climb. The ditch was left far below them but before them rose the steep ascent.
Rescued from a Muddy Fate.
Finally the summit of the hill was reached and there they paused. Visions of deep precipices flashed through the brain of the youth and he felt that a typographical investigation was neces sary. Hardly had he left the buggy for that purpose when he heard the sweet slivery voice of his companion calling pathetically C—1. C—1. At the sound of that voice he could do nothing but obey. She would not let him leave her and yet they dared not drive further. Then our hero lifted up his voice in the still night air and like a trumpet call it startled the lively men in the valley below, as they prepared to retire. Like life savers three men, a lantern and two dogs set out to the assistance of the lost pair.
And, Fate in her kind dispensations had so willed it that one of the brave rescuers they obtained deep geographical knowledge of that particular cow pasture in his youth when he drove the family cow homeward in the evening. By his kink assistance the horse was led to a road securely fenced on either side and leading directly home.

Good Material Shows Itself-The Winners
A new record in the shot put, in the standing broad jump, and in the standing high jump is not half bad for the first meet of the year. Former University records in these events were broken at the indoor meet last Saturday night, and in addition a record established in the standing high kick.
The shot put record was broken by Mosse who put the big iron ball thirty-six feet four inches, just one foot over Hamill's record made in '93. Both the standing jumps were broken by Petticord, and the standing kick record was established here for the first time by Powell who kicked seven feet eight inches.
All the events were closely contested and the audience seemed well pleased with the character of the sport. The wrestling matches as usual called forth much interest and applause, while after it was known that Mosse and Petticard had broken the records in the shot put and the jumps, each additional inch was greeted with enthusiasm.
The star of the meet was Petticord a junior Law, who, besides breaking two records, took three firsts and three seconds out of six entries. Indeed it was a great night for the Law school athletes who won seven breaks against, six by the representatives of all other schools combined the two record breakers also being Laws.
The following are the results.
Feather weight wrestling Swaze and Hioimose two straight falls for Swaze
Hitch kick, Petticoat first, Rench second eight feet four inches.
Standing kick, Fowell first; Hazen second; seven feet, eight inches.
Standing high jump. Petticord first;
Rench second; four feet, nine and three-
fourths inches.
Middle weight wrestling, two falls for Enley, "one for Hudson.
Standing broad jump, Petticord first. Cates second; ten feet, three and three-fourths inches.
Hori zontal bars, Lee first; Pulver second.
Putting *17* pound shot, Mosse first;
Avery second, thirty-four feet, four inches.
Light weight wrestling, first bout given to Cates on points over Hoyt; contestants declare other two bouts off.
Running high jump, Alexander first,Peticord second,four feet,eleven and one-half inches.
Fifteen yard sprint, Speak first, Petticord second; twenty-five yard sprint, Speak first, Petticord, second.
Heavy weight wrestling, first bout draw,
second bout to decide match, won by Simpson
over Avery.
Dr. Drwulf also gave an exhibition shot put of thirty-seven feet, six inches and Van Meter gave a very clever exhibition of bag punching.
There were only two drawbacks to the meet the large number of entries scratched and the small crowd present. The way in which the Meet was handled reflects great credit upon the management which is to be especially praised for the distribution of programs over the city as an advertisement and for the form of the program as well.
The form 'shown by the contestants was also encouraging to those who hope to see a good track team here this spring. The poorest 'showing was made in the running high jump, but this is accounted for by the slipping of the mats.
Prof. Cowan, Dr. Woodruff and Dale Gear acted as referees.
