practice of inviting outside guests
be discouraged for the duration of
the war.”

of enforcing the recommendation
since it was only set up as one of
its policies.
Endorsement of a Red Cross
War Drive was also agreed upon,

loon '44 and Richard D; Smyser ’44
were chosen as co-chairmen- for
the drive, and will be aided by a

ing athletic events will be discuss
ed by - Leaman and Capt. P. A.

A law was previously passed
banning smoking in Rec Hall dur
ing exhibitions, but there has been
no enforcement so far. However,
due to complaints by spectators

made in the future to enforce the
law. Ensigns and women smokers
are reported to be the constant vio
lators.
“No smoking” ■ signs for the
scoreboard will be made to remind
fans of the code.
