Members of the Daily Xebraskan staff were interrupted
yesterday in their contemplative seances which each day are
responsible for the issuance of the official student publica
tion of the university by the groans and whines of some person
or animal apparently very much in distress.

Citizens of Athlete's Home

Reinstatement.
CLAIM HARSH DISCIPLINE
Past Records Do Not Show
Severe Treatment Says
Committee.
A committee of Crete resident
composed of Mayor F. J. Kobes,
County Attorney John E. Mekota,
C. D. Blauvelt editor of the Crete
News, H. A. Davis city engineer
and R. M. Pflasterer, druggist,
carried the flg-ht to reinstate Steve
Hokuf, suspended last week follow.
Ine a raid at the apartment in
which he lived, direct to the uni
versity administration yesterday
afternoon.
Calling on Dean T. J. Thompson
in a body to protest against what
they termed "severe discipline
without due cause" they petitioned
the university administration to
take whatever steps necessary to
reinstate Hokuf immediately in
order that he might be able to con
tinue his university work and re
main eligible for football competi
tion next fall.
Speaking for the committee,
Mayor Kobes stated that there was
no doubt that the stellar Cornhus-
ker athlete was acquainted with
the fact that beer was being made
in the apartment but that the fact
that he was not in the city at the
time of the raid nor had ever been
before the university administra
tion for displinary measures prior
to the time of his suspension
should have entered into the case.
Cite Past Cases.
"It is evident," continued Mayor
Kobes, "that past cases in which
liquor and university students have
figured had no bearing on the rul
ing of the administration i n
Hokuf's case. "University records
will show that in more than one
instance students have been dis
covered under the influence of
liquor in their possession both on
and off the university campus and
have been dealt with much less
harshly than has Hokuf."
Mayor Kobes added that the
committee during the past week
had received many letters, mes
sages and telegrams asking that
residents of Crete take some kind
of definite action in an effort to
gain Hokuf's reinstatement and
offering any such aid as might be
needed.
