By Associated Press.
PULLMAN, Thursday, May 7.
—Leaders of the Washington State
College blue law strike called off,
their pickets this afternoon and
ordered some 3,200 students back;
| to their classes,  after a tentative!
j settlement of the Walkout, which'
; began this morning.
Bob Yothers, Wenatchee; student leader, said the students
would resume class attendance "at,
least" until after a meeting of the
faculty  and Senate  late this aft-
"We think we have  virtu
surance our demands will be met,"
he said.
Yothers, who had counseled i
against the strike since a campus- '
wide demonstration Tuesda;
tempted to resign as head of the
student arbitration committee of
twelve. He was prevailed upon to
hold his post.
Mass Meeting at Noon
At a mass meeting after a scholarship convocation at noon, 1,200
students argued alternately for
and against continuing the strike.
The vote to suspend the strike
came after speakers declared Dr.
E. O. Holland, president of the
university, assured them their
protests against social regulations
and arbitrary administration policies would be considered and result in granting many of their
demands by the Senate, which is to
meet at 4:30 o'clock.
Most classes meeting imme-
ately after lunch were filled, and
instruction  was  continued.
The pickets paced in front of
buildings or occupied chairs
spotted in sunny places this
morning. AH were jovial, even
when Dr. Holland was reported
to have threatened girls in front
of the Administration Building
with expulsion unless they left
their posts "within the hour."
j   They   were   still   there   several
hours later, insisting they woufd  |
stick until the "prexy" signed an
acceptance of their demands.
Pickets said only ten students,,
ail girls, reported to classes this
morning. They found professors
waiting, except in one class. The
instructors appeared for first-period classes, designated missing students "absent" and went about
other work.
Yothers said he was called to
a conference with faculty members
and Dr. Holland at 1 o'clock this
morning. The entire list of grievances prepared by the Student Lib
erty    Association    was    discussed
then, he said.
Some of student demands, Yothers reported, Dr. Holland accepted;
and agreed to present a sighed rec-,
ommendation for their adjustment
to the College Senate, governing
body of professors, at a meeting
late today.
"Suggestive" social regulations
promulgated by  Dean Anna
Fertig were part of those In disfavor with the students. One of 
these, Yothers said, was an
der  to  a  sorority  house  to
move a davenport from the front
porch.    She said it "doesn't look
right" for girls to entertain men
students there. ne sorority reported   the   dean!
had  ordered  at least  one  of  twoj
girls  on  the  sorority house lawn
must  "sit erect"  for appearances.
One rule forbids picnic parties of
three  or  more  men  and  woi
without approved chaperons.
The students demand all social
regulations be codified and published.
"How are we to know when we
violate a rule?" the students ask.
However, Yothers explained, the
grievances against social rules;
hold only a small place in the
movement. The students insisted, 
for example, on the right of accused students to present evidence;
and witnesses in their own defense'
against discipline committee trials,,
and the trials be open; on student
representation on the discipline,
committee, oh abolition of compulsory class attendance, abolition
of "dictotorial" issuance of "flunks"
to a stated number of students in
