Students Approve Parking Rules Student leaders today expressed their approval of the borough council’s, decisioi) to enforce the ordinance against overnight park ing as borough officials pointed out the need for such a safety measure; Arnold C. Laich ’4l, All-College president, praised the making of Locust and Frazier street into one way streets as relieving .dangerous congestion. “The overnight park ing regulations should present no serious student problem, except perhaps - on big dance "weekends,* Laich said. ■ William B. Bartholomew ’4l, senior class president, was of the opinion that the ordinance would not seriously affect students. Borough officials intimated that townspeople, with garage facili ties available but unused, would be the objects of the drive. They poitned .out that overnight park ing is a serious hindrance to fire protection and traffic safety. Violators of the overnight park ing ordinance will be served a warning on the first offense which will require their appearing at the borough offices or paying a $2 fine. Second offenders will be fined $lO or imprisoned for five days. treme right, as the man ascending the ladder carrying a hod. This is considered the most realistic like ness in the painting.

Kappas Throw Wafer On Jubilant Marchers An orderly pajama parade from Jordan Hall to the women’s dorm itories last night climaxed an en thusiastic first day of customs en forcement yesterday in which, freshmen were hazed more inten sively than at any time in the last several years. The evening pajama parade was a success for the frosh until their off-key crooning outside the Kappa Kappa Gamma house. The unap preciative Kappas, after hearing a few discordant notes, responded with buckets on buckets of water and not a freshman escaped a drenching. The campus echoed with off-key renditions of College songs and shouts of “Button, Frosh” all yes terday afternoon and last night a crowd of 500 gathered on Co-op Corner for a half hour period of hazing highlighted by freshman speeches and demonstrations. Originating in Jordan Hall about 9:45 p.m., the parade was organ ized under the direction of Peter Kronis, hall president, and the 60- odd marchers proceeded to Old Main, Mac Hall, Atherton Hall, and back to the dorms. The marchers were enthusiastic ally received by the freshman co eds in Mac Allister Hall. One of the coeds reported, “We had __to put out all the. lights when they came, blit the girls thought the -whole -thing - was Jots of fun. The boys were dressed in pajamas, sang ‘l’ll Never Smile Again/ did a dance, and then went away.” At Atherton' Hall, one coed re ported being told that Atherton Hall coeds were very unresponsive. She said that, as a result, the par ade did not remain there long. Henry's Socks Weren't While Henry Meissonier didn’t wear any white socks yesterday after noon, and therein lies a tale. Whether Henry was the cause of or the victim of some of the ■most enthusiastic freshman hazing practiced on campus in the last several years is a moot question. Henry showed up in front of Old Main without his socks only an hour after customs went into effect. Discovered by Jack Kearns and Wade Meri, vigilant football players and stern upperclassmen,' Meissonier was shown the error of his ways and some 50 frosh were gathered around him for a good, stirring round of Farmer in the Dell. Old Main pealed twice during the ceremony but didn’t crack a smile. Hundreds of delighted upper classmen basking in weather which was fair and warmer for one of the few times in the College year—enjoyed the ceremony from the Old Main steps and set off to spread the gospel around the campus. The whole atmosphere, upper classmen from the seniors down agreed, was like nothing they had ever seen before but like some thing they-wanted to see more of. Two or three were heard to re mark that in one afternoon they had seen more hazing than in all the last year, or two years, or even three years. Registrar 111 Yesterday j Registrar William S. Hoffmatf was confined to his home yester day afternoon by a slight cold. . Due to his absence, total figures on enrollment are still unavailable. PRICE FIVE CENTS
