31 Students Arrested in March to Metzger

Mon., Oct. 13, 1941

At the close of the rushing season, a group of male students marched around the campus singing and gathering numbers before deciding to march to Metzger Hall.  The Carlisle police intercepted and attempted to disperse them.  When they arrested one student, thirty other students declared that if the police arrested the one, they would have to arrest them, too.  The police arrested all thirty-one students and held them in the Cumberland County Prison.  When Dean Ernest Vuilleumier failed to gain the students' release, Mr. Hyman Goldstein, local attorney and adviser to the Phi Epsilon Pi fraternity, paid the students' bail for a total of $6,200.
