Male Students Dump Coeds Out Os Beds Augustana College Plans Discipline Rock Island. 111.. Feb. 26—(UP) —Officials of Augustana college said today that "appropriate dis* ciplinary action" may be taken against 250 male students who invaded the girl's dormintory, dumped Mie coeds out of bed and doused some of them in bathtubs. The Rev. Harry H. Johnson, dean of men, said the affair was a “prank,” and that “such things are unnecessary.” But one coed said “it was really more fun than anything else." “In fact,” said Lois Taylor, a senior from Geneseo, 111., the girls “had -an inkling” the boys were i coming. She said some of the : doors may have been "convenient- ■ ly open.” z The raiders roamed through the 1 building, dumping over beds, upsetting furniture and pulling out dresser drawers. Mattresses were soaked with water and some of the coeds were hauled, kicking and screaming, to the filled bathtubs. Miss Taylor, who said she locked herself in her room and “peeked over the transom,” said the girls , either were in bed or preparing to go to bed and that “most of them were fairly decent.” Some of them were caught off guard, however, ’ and had to scramble for more clothing, she said. Some of the more spirited girls grabbed water buckets and doused the intruders. But all was pretty ' much confusion, for the boys had pulled light switches and silenced telephones. They even locked the house mother Mrs. Alma Johnson, in her room. The affair lasted 10 minutes. , The boys posted a sentinel and. as , Rock Island police approached, he , sounded "retreat” on a bugle. The I boys scattered into the night and I there were no arrests. ,1. The girls spent most of the wee i hours yesterday cleaning up the i mess. f The raid was a climax to "initia- . tion week" at the school, which has an enrollment of about 1,200. i Cites Agreement Need On Atomic Energy Chicago, Feb. 26—(UP)— There can be no force to back un the United Nations until the United States and Russia can agree on ’ atomic energy, according to Mrs. Eleanor Roosevelt.
