Two Students Injured Serenading Sorority House

Newton Falls sophomore Bill Gilronan and Barberton junior Russ Gillis were assaulted by a plain clothes officer while serenading the Sigma Sigma Sigma sorority. Gilronan suffers a neck bruise and is recovering. Gillis was struck in the midriff. The officer, believed to be F W Boland, took them to the police station for a formal talk and they were released after the sorority intervened. Police chief F R Grubb calls the incident a farce and says the officer was stationed nearby due to burglar scares. Gilronan rests at the university infirmary and is expected to be released today.
