Riot Over Destruction of Dirigible
Something very near to a riot and
closely resembling a "free for all"
was staged by the engineer and law
students on the second floor of the
Law buildine Wednesday morning
after 11 o'clock classes had started.
Dean Foster of the College of Law,
interrupted, and was of the opinion
that fresh air and blue skies were
more in f ittiug with such demonstra
tions. The encounter continued to
rage between the Library and the
Law building a few seconds later as

Dean Amanda Heppner spoke on
the ideals expected of the sorority

ideals of an organization are always
bigger than can be realized, still the
organization cannot be any greater
than are the ideals of the members
