AG h. Tr; n A New Ring A fine chance for . students to voice their individual opinions on a pertinent issue affect ing them will be in the offing next week. The All-College Cabinet has scheduled an open meet ing in 121 Sparks with the main purpose of ob taining campus sentiment on the new school ring. The open meeting will show just how Cabi net operates, and how student affairs are managed through the student government systems. Opinions are especially desired on the ring question, for the ring design is meant to be permanent, to establish a tradition for a truly representative and standard class ring. MUCH LABOR AND investigation was the basis of Cabinet's action in selecting the design proposed by L. G. Balfour & Co. Drawings and models from three leading companies were com pared and modified, and dozens of meetings and consultations held by two successive Cabi net committees. The resulting choice is then the most complete and practical, as well as most attractive design for the ring, which is intended to be distinctive and recognizable, as well as of top quality. THE PRESENT RING, owned by thousands of alumni, has never been officially accepted on more than a yearly, or class, basis, but has con tinued to be the only one out of sheer inertia. The need for a standard, symbolic ring was rea lized early this year and the proposal to adopt such a ring presented to the Cabinet, which act ed immediately to set up committees to consider the need for and the design of the new ring. THE NEW RING, which will be official for all students here if accepted by the student body through the Cabinet Tuesday, may be made and sold by more than one company under competi tive conditions. The official drawings and spec• ifications will be held by the College, and an. manufacturer may make and sell that offich ring, but must comply with the standards. Th action of the competition will be to produce th. best ring at the cheapest price possible accord• ing to market conditions. It is important that students air any sug gestions that have occurred to them on the question before Cabinet takes final action, for once passed the tradition will be born. The open Cabinet meeting is the opportunity for several hundred students to do just that, and see their student government in action at the same time.

It is no wonder why they do—if they do when pre sent customs are imposed on them. I am afraid to think what may happen if the proposed cus toms are placed on future freshmen. -Is it not 'bad enough to be away from home for the first time and not know anyone let alone being made fun of and jeered at? I experienced it when I entered the Army. After all, freshmen are human too. For your information freshman girls, only a very few of the seniors last year for example attended a meeting to decide on a class mem orial. That is certainly poor spirit. I think we should criticize ourselves before we criticize others. I am wondering what psy chologists have to say about the effect of fresh man customs. • Name withheld Gazette . . . .
