S. Currell as presi dent of the school, delegated the com mittee on organization of the board with power to make a thorough inves tigation at the university • and take final action In whatever way the com- mittee may see fit to dispose of the trouble at the Institution. The committee on organization to conduct the investigation is composed of Governor Cooper, L. P. ,HoilIs of Greenville an<J D. It. Coker of Harts- ville. The governor acts In place of C. E. Spencer of York, who asked to be relieved because of relationship with Dr. Currell.

The trouble at the university was d Wednesday''gr- ternoon when the president of the student body was indefinitely sus pended from the institution by the dis cipline committee because he “pre sided at an illegal meeting of the stu dent body”. The students held a meet ing Wednesday morning arid voted to declare a holiday In order that they might see the tank parade on “Lib erty day.” The discipline committee say that the president had no authority to en tertain a motion to declare a holiday, and further said that the entire meet ing was out of order inasmuch as no permission had been granted by Pres ident Currell to hold the meeting. The president of the student body stated yesterday that he had no knowledge of what was to take place at the meet ing and merely presided at the re quest of other students who were al ready in session when he arrived at the meeting.
