- Underclass Regulations Immediately after the athletic meeting last Friday evening the two upper classes held a joint meeting to revise and adopt the underclass regulations which were drawn up last year. President McGee of the Senior class acted as chairman. In the past all underclass rushes and scraps were governed only by custom and very often discussions arose as to who were victors, etc. Finding it necessary to adopt some definite rules regulating underclass affairs the Senior and Junior classes met early last year and through a committee from each of the classses had a set of rules drawn up. These regulations, however, had never been adopted. Consequently at both the cider and flag scraps last year heated discussions arose to the outcome of the contests. This year, at the so licitation of the underclasses, the matter was again taken up with the result that, last Friday, the last year’s rules were partly revised and adopted. Before doing so, how ever, each section was read separ ately and carefully debated upon be fore changes were made. Before the meeting adjourned it was suggested that the underclasses have the rules printed in convenient size and posted in the track house.
