Dean Ray Proposes Trial
Of Unlimited Cut System
Urges Plan’s Adoption
As Experiment in
Education
Advocating the establishment of an
unlimited cut system for seniors, Miss
Chailottc E. Ray*, dean of women, in
•*. statement to the collegian yester
day urged the adoption of the plan
as an educational experiment *
In announcing hoi views, the dean
said
“Such n system can piobably* be
made to work veiy well, but its suc
cess or failure depends on the pur
pose and the method of operation”
Miss Ray believes that the idea is
woith a trial and should be tested
for r reasonable period of time The
icsulte, she believes, should then be
carefully sifted so that further judg
ment could be passed on the pro
ject
Factor-* Leading To Success
ll’ the purpose of the system is to
give moie freedom to the student
for the U3c of initiative in study and
icscaich, the dean of women thinks j

; do not favor tho idea of having other
classes contiibute toward the swim
ming poo! Outside help, however,

Officials interested m the move ad

inion that the type pool requued will
cost at least $250,000
Kcim, in speaking of the class of

GIRLS’DORMITORY
QUARANTINE LIFTED
Di. Rilenour Raises 3-Day Ban
After Giving 130 Shick
Test Injections
With the completion of the Sh.ca I
susceptibility tests, the McAllister
Hall diphtheua quarantine was lifted
Saturday morning at 11 o’clock, after
assurance fiom Dr Joseph P. Rilen
ou , College physician, that imminent
danger of additional contagion was
past .
McAllister Hall had been under
strict quarantine since Thursda;
noon, when it was thought Doioth'
Christman ’33, showed symptoms'of
of diphtheria. Dr Ritenour closed
tho dormttoiy pending the results ot
testr to show the susceptibility of
other students housed at the same
building.
Following n peisonal investigation
oi tho situation both in the, College
and borough, Di Haiold B Wood,
epidemiologist of the State health de
partment declined, “I have made a
complete investigation of the situation
hero and I have determined that at
tho present time there aie no known;
cases of diphtheria in the College or
boiough”
“A nanibci of cultuies weie made
oi suspected casus,” he continued,
“but every lesult of these tests wa_>
negative Theie is nobody under quar
antine’ tor diphtheii iat present Thu
department of health highly approve!
cveiy thing that was done by* local
physicians to pi event a possible out
bieak ”
College physician Ritenoui deilnied
that the quarantine of McAllister Hall
might be summed up as a successful
expsnment
“Tho mam purpose of this little
demonstration,” ho said, “was to shov/j
the jtoTuble clungei of laxness in
persona' health habits. With an a\-'
eiago ol eight hours lost by each of,
tho 30 gals who were foued to un-|
dugo this qjuumtine, it is obvious
that the time was not wasted and
that a new attitude towaid cominun
rtv health as iclated to individual
safeguarding has come about ”
