Final Draft Now Ready For Action The final draft of a customs program for incoming fresh man men is now ready for consideration by Tribunal and All-College Cabinet If approved, the plan will go into effect in September under the administration of Tribunal and campus hat societies. A com mittee of the Hat Societies council, under chairman Robert Gabriel, has spent several weeks screening the various elements of past customs programs and proposed addititions. The plan itself has been divid ed into three main sections: dress, •dating, and general customs. 'Dinks' Required Under the first, freshmen would be required to wear the tradi tional, green "dinks", black bow ties, and name cards which would be replaced .after. the first week by name badges supplied• by the College. A "dress customs holi day", lasting from midnight each Saturday until 7 a.m. the follow ing Monday would be provided. The section on dating provides: "No dating or association with women shall be perMitted within a three-mile radius of Old Main. Men will ,be permitted to say, `hello' to any woman in the above-mentioned area, but that shall be the limit of the associa tion." Organizations sponsoring planned social affairs such as 'all- College dances, however, may apply for exemption of freshmen from these regulations to Tribun al, providing they do so at least one week in advance of the func tion. Violators To Be Dealt With "The dating customs," says the proposal, 'shall be especially en forced. Violators . . . shall be dealt with in a most severe manner." Under general customs, the committee would require all freshmen to carry copies of the Student Handbook, with identifi cation properly filled out.
