field to Make Speech
SEATTLE. May 27.—Nine Uni
versity of Washington students who
defied the order of President Hugo
Winkenwerdrr and permitted Mrs.
Jessie London Wakefield, cf the
International Labor League, to ad
dress the Thursday Noon Club have
been suspended by the Faculty Dis
cipline Committee.
The Students may return during
the winter quarter beginning next
January after an apology to the
President. The action of the Com
mittee is subject to a review by the
President.
Mrs. Wakefield, a former Wash
ington University student, served
a jail term for criminal syndical
ism during the 1931 mine trouble
in Harlan. Kentucky. She was per
mitted to address the Thursday
Noon Club despite the President's
order that she should not be per
mitted to do so because of the
University’s regulation banning “po
litical speeches."
