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. Walk
ing on any of the grassed areas
of the campus would be forbidden
and the frosh would be restricted
from using Senior Walk, that
