Clemson College, March 10.-A ser ous disciplinary situation has arisen at Clemosn College. Many of the students have already gone to their homes and others may leave. The great majority of the sophomore and 'the freshman classes have left and the Juniors are considering going. It is iot believed that the juniors will go. The great majority of the students dhat this correspondent has talked ;with said that they did not iwant to go 'but felt honor-bound to keep their promise to their class mates to stand with them. Your correspondent se curel the following from the president mnd discipline committee. "liast Sunday morning the (adet in charge of dining room scholarship students reiiorted to the commandant t hat on account of sickness lie lacked six or eight men. The commandant. Ilhe president with knowledge, there pll)ol iss-.ued an order, statling that an emergency existel, and .that six men 'would be detailed each day to assist Ilie scholarship students in the n.ess hall unitil the emergency was relieved. '.londay morning the president was waited upon by several of the class co-operative committee, who stated that the cadets very bitterly resented Ihe order referred to. Immeliately stelps were taken to meet: the emer tgency and during the 'forenoon iby offering higher pay, a suffcient num ber of eadets to till out the quota of dining room scholarship was ob tained. The order of Sainday was re voked at the Monday dinner hour. and two cadets who had heen placed in arrest hecause of failure to obey the order were released at. 1: 13 1). i. 'When the dissatisfaction was at its height on Monday afternoon. and the threat was made that some of thc students would return home, two sophoiiores who were in arrest in the guard room On aICcoun it of having exceeded the limit of fifty demnerits, disiegarded ttieir arrest and proceedl ed to pat k up their trunks.

"Another student, a freshman, who iad never been detected by the com nandant, the only one of many par ticipating in the disorder Monday af Lernoon, was given local punishment which he could serve without inter ruption to his education. "Today, Wednesday, after tle din ner hour the freshmen and sophomore classes, without permission, as re tiuired by the regulations held a mass meeting on the athletic field and from there marched to the president's office. rhe president of the freshman class isked the president to appear before the two classes. As 3pokcsman for the two classes, he demanded that thei two sophomores whom the discipline ommittee had dismissed be immedi tely reinstated, and that the fresh man who had ben given local punish ment be likewise immediately re lieved of this punishment. The presi dent stated to the cadet that there was a regular and pilropel' proceedlre provided in the regulations, whereby any stideiit iwho had been punishled by the (isCillinev committee could a p peal to the board of trust ees, also that tile cadets concerned could appeal for rehearing by the disci plinle comm ittee if they so desired but that he would 110t take action under any stress of class or student demands. With that the meeting broke up, the two classes indicating intention to go home in a body. The present action is probably i culmination of a discontent which has been growing in the corps since Christ mas. 'During the disturbance on Mon day, red badges were displayed. and the yell of "Bolshevik" was frequently heard. There were a great many students in the corps, probably nearly 300 who have seen military service Ir one way or another, and some of thbse tired of it. Fu rt hermore the student army training corps. tWar Imeasure, at the college last session. created a distaste for military disel 1)In11e.
