MORE MENTAL ANGUISH IN OWEN DIVORCE CASE
Charging her husband, Professor Festus Edward Owen, formerly head of the psychology department at this University, with inflicting “psychological cruelty” upon her, Mrs. Daisy I. Owen filed a cross-complaint, Wednesday, in the superior court, to Prof. Owen’s suit for divorce.
Prof. Owen filed suit for divorce against his wife, April 21, of this year, stating that she had caused him extreme mental anguish and suffering by neglect of her children and household duties. Details of the suit were first published in the columns of The Trojan and sometime later in the city papers.
Mrs. Owen’s complaint mentioned Margaret Hamilton, an expert in applied psychology, with whom, she alleged, her husband had studied.
Resigned by Request
She declared Professor Owen, who was dropped from the university faculty after he filed his divorce suit, took her to Miss Hamilton’s home and compelled her to study psychology under the other woman’s tutelage.
She asserted that while at Miss Hamilton’s home and between her lessons in psychology, she was forced to do the scrubbing, washing and other menial work of the household.
While with her husband and Miss Hamilton, she charged, the names of her son and daughter were changed without her knowledge and consent.
Miss Hamilton’s name was brought in by Mrs. Owen only as alleged party to the “psychological cruelty” and because of the fact that most of the events recited in the cross-complaint occurred while they were at the Hamilton home.

plaint that her husband had employed Miss Hamilton to instruct him in mental development and give him what Miss Hamilton professed were lessons in psychology during and since the fall of 1917.
Mrs. Owen also states in the crosscomplaint that prior to that time he was happy and proud of his family, but that shortly afterward he began to manifest a lack of love and affection toward her, and that in January of 1918, at the suggestion of Miss Hamilton, the defendant consented to her husband’s leaving her to take up his residence with his sister.
Assisted Miss Hamilton From January to July of 1918, according to Mrs. Owen, the professor continued to live away, from her, during which time he assisted Miss Hamilton in her profession of applied psychology along with his work at the university.
Mrs. Owen further alleges she wras forced to continue her lessons with Miss Hamilton, for which Miss Hamilton received $25 a month, said lessons, according to Mrs. Owen, beinf mostly a denunciation of her failure as a wife and mother.
In July. 1918, Prof. Owen returned to her, so the wife states, only to insist on March 22, 1919, that she give up her Liome and go with himself and the children tu reside at Fortieth place and Figueroa street in the establishment of Miss Hamilton.
On May 6, 1920, Mrs. Owen alleges in her cross-complaint, she was struck by Miss Hamilton, her husband being cognizant of such treatment, and that immediately afterward she was forced to work as a domestic servant under an assumed name.
During this time, Mrs. Owen states she wras forced to turn her salary over to Margaret Hamilton for lessons in psychology and on her days off she was forced to return to Miss Hamilton’s house and do-the washing.
$35 Per Month In January of 1920, she further alleges, Miss Hamilton demanded a promissory note for approximately $1000 for payment in lessons in psy chology.
On January 8, according to Mrs. Owen, she was permitted to return to Miss Hamilton’s establishment with the understanding that she be paid $35 a month for services as a seamstress and laundress and household worker Twenty-five dollars of this salary was to go each month in payment for lessons in psychology which Miss Hamilton would give her, and the remaining $10 was to pay off the note which Mrs. Owen had given Miss Hamilton.
From January 8 to April of this year Mrs. Owen says she was only allowed fleeting glimpses of her children, and that she was never allowed to eat at the table, but that once, when she came into the dining room where Miss Hamilton and her husband were having their dinner, they “rushed at her and forced her to return upstairs.” Finally, Mrs. Owen alleges on April 21 of this year, while she was washing the dishes at the Hamilton house, she was called to the front door where she w’as sesrved with the summons in Prof. Owen’s action for divorce.
Mrs. Owen alleges from the fall of 1917 to April, 1 J#20, she was under the control of Prof. Owen and Miss Hamilton, who obtained her admission of her own inability and character defects through undue influence.
She asks $100 a month alimony, the custody of the children and attorney’s fees.
MANY SEEK GRID
GAME WITH TROJANS
Texas School of Mines and the University of Arizona are both after the Trojan's open date on November 13 for a grid game. Both bchools are anxious to make the trip to the coast. Since Henry Walthall Bruce let it be known that he was looking for a game for that date, colleges all the way from Maine to Minnehaha have been after the game. Henry promises to date up soon with one of the applicants.
R. 0.1. C.
By A. G. 0. ORDERS
Orders from Adjutant General of the War Department, Washington, D. C., received by Col. L. M. Koehler, on May 10, directed the disbanding of the R. O. T. C. from the University by June 1. The last drill period was on May 25, wrhen the members cleaned rifles for the last time at this institution.
Sixty students will receive credits for their work in this organization, but they will not be counted as required work for graduation. Many other students let more than five absences accumulate and they will not be credited.
Col. Koehler requested the Board of Trustees to either make the R. O .T. C. compulsory for the men in the sophomore and freshman classes or request the War Department to withdraw the unit. The board acted on the latter alternative.
So far as is now known, the disbanding of the R. O. T. C. at this university is permanent. Some action was started to organize a U. S. C. company to join the California State Guard, under the auspices of the national organization. Plans for this have failed to develop, however, and enthusiastic military students were requested to poin the Los Angeles regiment of the National Guard.
The University signed a bond for $28,500 for the government materials to be used in the military department Sergeant Brownhall says that the work of packing and shipping this equipment is well under way, but he claims that about thirty students have failed to return their uniforms. The University is responsible for^government property and, therefore, will take harsh measures to recover the materials in the hands of dilatory students.
