1935 DEMANDS LENIENCY FOR STUDENTS ACCUSED IN RIOT

Systematic action was taken last night by members of the Freshman class, seeking leniency for men threatened with suspension as a result of Thursday's riot. The Yard was being thoroughly canvassed by about ten students, and already many signatures have been obtained.

The petition is addressed to Delmar Leighton '19, permanent dean of the Freshman class, who has notified almost twenty students of the proposed action. The request has been received with much enthusiasm in several dormitories, and it is expected that most of the class will subscribe. This will be the first collective complaint that has been made to University Hall by the class of 1935.
