Acknowledge They Mmle Serions Mis take and Accepts Their Punishment As .IlLSt. To the Editor of The State: Tho newspaper reports of tho rs cenl trouble at Clemson college belay more or less Incorrect and not alio gther fair and Impartial, we, the undersigned ex-members of the jun ior class (leslie to Rive to the people of the Seato what we conscientiously believe to bo a truo and Impartial statement of the facts. We do not believe that any om- knowingly inad< un incorrect statement; hut we do know thal sonn- of the newspaper re ports were written by men who knew hui HUN- about the facts which inc.*. attempted to state. Consequently, sonic blunders were made, an wc ecn sider it our duty to tho people of lin Slate to correct, as far as possible these mistakes. Taking up these statements in ord er, we desire io make the fol lo win corrcl ions: I. The newspaper ?rdeles referred to above stated that several orders and warnings were published at rc treat on the evening of March 31st. As a matter of fact, only one order was published, and that called attcn lion lo paragraph 12 0 of tho "Kogo huions tor the Government of Co dots." The Order in question wes as follows: "Headquarters Corps of Cadets "Clemson Agricultural Col'.ege '.Clemson College. S. C. "March 31, lOoS. "General Orders No. 4 2. "Par. 1. Tho attention of the corps of cadets is especially directed to par agraph 120 of 'Tho Regulations foi the Government ol' Cadets," which reads as follows: " "Any cadet who leaves barracks without authority at any time be tween ret: eal and reveille, shall bc dismissed.' "Hy order of Capt. Minus." As far as we have been able to lind ont, no one left barracks without authority during that time. The new; paper reports made lt seem that this order was intended for the next day, when the order itself plainly shows thal it was md. 2. A statement was made that tele grams were sent to Prof. R. H. Pike informing him that his isey ''ces were no longer needed. lt. II. ^Kikc ls a cadet and not a professor! and the telegram was sent in a spirit of fun, merely to let Kike know that the participants were carrying on their April Pool celebration. Cadet Kike was in no way connected with the af fair. :;. Tho statement lltai the rest of the students were very Indignan! over the action ol their comrades is a mis take, as practically the whole student body treated i he matter as a joke. 4. Cadet T. S. Allen was not a load er in the celebration, In fail, there wen? no leaders, everybody acting for himssir. Cadet Allen did. after I he juniors were dismissed from college, advise the rest of Ibo Students to ro main at college, hut did so because he though) that hy using his in flueneo lie might help Lo prevent tho lower classmen Hom leaving with the juniors. There was also a slight mistake made as to tin- number oi' students in Ibo junior class 'lhere were only si students in i he class; 48 of those wen' dismissed and one suspended. Of the rest, several WOl'e on the allie lotie leam and would have gOUO oe. the "lark" had they not been per suaded by their el a.^Suintes not to go. We do not wish to casi any reflec tion on any om . Our purpose being lo correct some statements that might create a winny Impression among the people Ol' I he Slate. lu conclusion, we, ike undersigned, Wish to kay to the people of this and Other Stales thal we. the dismiss ed cadets ol' Clemson college, do now feel the seriousness (d' thc offense and think illili the punishment received was just; and that we h;ive absolute ly no ill feelings toward (he action ol' the discipline committee 'of Clemson liol lego. We realize that the mistake was a serious one hilt we do not feel that any disgrace attends our dismis sal. II. C. Twiggs, .las. 1'. McMillan. R. A. Gardner, s. o. Ketley. IO. i> Clem ent, Cl V.
