Striking- Students Return To Classes WASHINGTON, Pa.— Convinced that the strike of two days had dis played appropriately the sincerity of their demand that President Simon S. Baker be removed, students at Washington and Jefferson college have returned to their classes. The strike began Wednesday morn ing, March 18, when the students walk ed out of chapel service as Dr. Baker rose to make his customary announce ments. A petition, signed by about 350 ol the 412 students enrolled, demanding the removal of Dr. Baker, and citing ten reasons, was presented by the stu dents to a member of the board of trustees. One of the reasons was the president’s “Childish” rules, citing a rule forbidding the wearing of cordu roy trousers. Dr. Baker said the strike undoubted ly was the result of the arrest the day before of two football men following an altercation with policemen. “I have not said I would dismiss those fellows,” Dr. Baker said at the time, “and from what I hear of tho case I don’t feel that they should be expelled.” Student leaders claimed their strike had the support of the faculty.
