I OF dki Lafayette Students Had Fun With a Soph, Who Had His Turn Later. SIX HELD FOR A HEARING Cbarged With Cutting Off the Luxuriant Beard of a Fellow-Student There May Be Some EASTON, Nov. IS. Members of the class of "JO of Lafayette College gathered in front of Pardee Hall yesterday afternoon- to have their pictures taken. Only one member of the sophomore class had the supreme dignity of wearing the "coveted appendages," as he so fondly termed his whiskers.

After the picture was taken it was unanimously decided that he be escorted to the barber shop by the class and be relieved of a burden so disagreeable on such warm fall days. The procession was quite long, and such songs as Me; My, Do You See My Whiskers Fly?" were sung. Nearly all the members of the class received a' lock of the "coveted appendages" as a souvenir of the occasion. To-day the fun changed to grief when the shorn student appeared before an alderman and had warrants issued for the arrest of six of his assailants. They were arrested and held for a hearing.
