Dormitory Pranks and Faculty Feuds at Pullman

Things are lively at the agricultural college in Pullman, and the students are making life a burden for Prof. Piper, who has charge of the dormitory. Hardly a night passes but some pranks are played upon the professor. Last Saturday evening, Piper, Newell, and others of the faculty, and many of the students took a sleigh ride into the country, and when they returned to the dormitory, Piper found his bed filled with snow, carpet tacks placed on their heads upon the chain and carpet, the legs of his iron bedstead unscrewed, and his room generally torn up. The College Record, a monthly paper published by students of the college, has long been a fearless advocate for the dismissed faculty member Lilley, and the paper attacks the board of regents in strong terms. In the last issue, the paper attacked the management of the college for selling books to students at an advance on the original cost, making a profit on books purchased by students. W. R. Hull, the editor of the Record, was called before Piper and reproved for such action, with Piper declaring it would disgrace the faculty. Hull replied he had made no statements he could not prove. Hull has now been summoned to appear before President Helton to answer to the charge of abusing the faculty through the columns of the Record.
