- 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.
