class' "disgraceful showing" at the
Frosh Bluebook, Tribunal Chair
man Guy Newton announced to

remarkable ignorance of elemen
tary College traditions. Its attitude
toward the test was antagonistic
and I saw numerous examples of
flagrant cheating," Newton said in
explanation of Tribunal's action.

will be held during the week to
determine corrective measures to
ward this recalcitrant freshman
class, he said.
