Smith Terms Incident 'Regrettable' By RALPH GREGORY Managing Editor Six students were suspended Wednesday by the discipline com mittee as a result of a raid on the women's dormitories Tuesday night. Five of the students drew immediate suspensions to last until January 27 and the other three drew a three month suspension effective June 1. The committee charged the stu dents with misbehavior and break age of state property at the two women's dormitories. The incident started Tuesday night when several hundred Caro lina men students followed the practice of several other univer sities over the nation and staged a raid on Sims and Wade Hampton, women dormitories. The raid was supposedly staged in search of feminine "unmentionables." Police and university officials were warned of the raid and were already on the scene when the men arrived. Despite pleas by Pres. s Smith, J. B. Jackson, dean of men, a and Mrs. Arney R. Childs, dean of e women, the invaders would not la leave. A few managed to break into Sims dormitory but were soon removed by police guards. LATE DEVELOPMENTS As the Gamecock was going to press Wednesday night, more >f tha 200 male students gath r. ered at a mass meeting on the horseshoe to express their sor row for the uproar which they had made the night before. n After selecting a committee s of five to represent them, the group peacefully marched to Sims and listened while the elected delegates apologized to Dean of Women Arney Childs and the residents of Sims for es their actions of the night before. r. Following this the men sang al the Alma Mater, after which r- the girls responded by singing it from inside the dormitory. The boys then sang "Goodnight Ladies," and went home. to The group, estimated at 350 to men, milled around the two dormi or tories until nearly 11 o'clock when ns another group broke into Wade ys llampton through a window. Sev ,r- eral returned with the objects of their search in hand. The raid en broke up soon after. of During the course of the raid at(sveral windows were broken and ly a considerable amount of water uit was poured into the rooms. The ecafeteria in Wade Hampton dormi n. tory was broken into by the as marauders thinking they were in re some of the girls' rooms. Several ie screens were also torn off and the clothing of a few of the girls was dlamaged, much of It missing. One university official stated that the physical damage was not extensive, however. 9 President Smith termed the raid d "a regrettable incident" and said the extensive publicity given esimilar raids at other colleges may ehave been responsible. "I didn't think that Carolina boys would do this. I saw where other schools had experienced that 'trouble but it didn't occur to me that it would happen here," he said. "The university will not tolerate misbehavior such as took ilaos Tuesday night," he added. Dean Jaekson stated that the case was not closed. "If we gain suffielent evidsmee a new meeting will be held and mere students atby be called ugp. he " It is the sease of the Dissiplas in hi. ofis this' afamaseeiw..*.s
