Frosh Regulations
For 4th Weekend
Allowing freshmen a short re
prieve from wearing customs,
Charles H. Ridenour '43, Student
Tribunal chairman, announced
last night that all frosh customs
will be lifted at 5 p. m. Friday
afternoon.
Regular customs will be re
sumed Monday at 8 a. m. with
the exception of name cards
which may be discarded after
tomorrow. All other freshman
regulations are still in effect and
will be enforced more rigidly
than ever, Ridenour added.
Five penalties were levied, one
exemption . granted, and last
week's violators freed as Tribun
al heard over fourteen cases last
night. "The majority of the
penalties were inflicted on frosh
who insist on coming out the side
door of the Liberal Arts Build
ing," Ridenour said, "and Tri
bunal is not going to overlook
these continual violations."
The five violators who were
penalized by Tribunal are Har
old Earhart, George Grimm,
David Brown, Frank Chaplin,
and Jerry Waxman. All will
wear signs on campus for a week.
Members of Tribunal warned
all freshmen that at no time are
they to enter or leave Sparks by
the side door. No allowance is
going to be made for men in
ROTC -uniforms, they - added.
This warning also applies to
freshmen who have been entering
and leaving Old Main by other
than the front door.
An investigation is being' con
ducted by the seven-man board
in an effort to discover who is
responsible for the post cards
that have been sent to several
freshmen requesting them to ap
pear before Tribunal. The cards,
completely unauthorized by- Tri
bunal, read as follows:
. "Mr. . . ~ Your actions on the
campus have been reported to
us and it gives us pleasure to
know that there are still some
`smart' frosh in circulation."
All freshmen ' who receive
these cards are requested to turn
them in to a member of Tribun
al. .
