person who issued it If a check has
not been signed thirty times in the
saine number of days, it will continue
in circulation until negotiable.
In co-operation with the campaign,
the local banks will not honor the
checks until they show evidence of
tb ir t y transactions. Recognizing
them as legal tender, many local
businessmen have agreed to honor and
spend the checks regularly.
It has been said that probably one
of the outstanding purposes of the
campaign is to check on the amount
of business transacted within the
town, while another is to endeavor
to keep trade here.
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
