University of Utah Students Arrested in Campus Row
Twenty University of Utah students were arrested by Sheriff Emery and taken to the county jail for a brief period. They were released to appear before Judge Diehl to justify why bonds to keep the peace should not be set. The arrests followed warrants by Parker B. Pratt editor of the College Chronicle, who said several named students threatened him and asked to be kept from harming him. The incident marks the latest flare in a two week faculty student clash linked to suspensions after a theater performance. The sophomore class left campus with many freshmen, affecting about 1000 students, while Pratt sided with the faculty and the newspaper condemned the students.
