STUDENTS TO AID CUSTOMS RULINGS 'Tribunal Must Halve Assistance Of Upperclassmen,' Says H. Aubrey Myers "The conduct of the three upper classes will be left this year to the individual's discretion, but there are !certain regulations drawn up for the first-year men which we think are 'for their well being. These must be enforced by the, student body itself through the agency of Student Tri bunal," said H. Aubrey Myers '32, head of the Student Canna on dis cussing the reorganized Tribunal yes terday. "Tribunal cannot act as a vigilance committee," said. Myers, "It must have the co-operation of the student body in reporting cases of customs violation to its president, Karl K. Rush '32." Druids and Priais, sophomore 'hat societies, were especially asked to co operate, as in former years, to lead student support of the judging body by apprehending and reporting ow lateis of freshman customs. 1 Cases Reported "Freshmen come to the College ex pecting to be held to the customs as they are published in the handbook. The upperclassmen, as students of one, too, or three years' experience, should be particularly anxious that the first-year men be gi% en a tapper introduction to college life and that they gain proper respect for their governing bodies," said Myers In spite of the many progressive steps in the direction of reducing the number of customs enforced upon the student body, Myers expressed a be lief that those remaining should suf fer no seduction in rigidity of en forcement. "It has always been the bone of contention us to whether customs were properly enforced. This year, how ever, see believe we have a group of men capable of cairying out the ends of justice in judgment of violations," the Student Council head stated. He concluded by encouraging that all students report cases to the Tri banal president, Rush, at the Delta Theta Sigma house, for consideration at the meeting in Room 405 Old Main at 8 o'clock tomorrow night. Only Sour casts had been turned in by Sun day night, but mote acre expected before the time of the meeting.
