Rush On Customs The amazing thing about freshman customs is how quickly this controversial question was settled on the official level. It was done so quickly as to give the impres sion that the decision to establish freshman cus toms next Fall was forced through All-College Cabinet to prevent organized opposition from materializing. LAST NOVEMBER HAT SOCIETIES council set up a committee to investigate establishment of customs. Little more was heard until the middle of March, when a plan was placed before Tribunal, which would enforce customs. Little more than a week later Cabinet moved by an 18 to 3 vote to adopt customs. Looking back, two interesting points emerge: 1. When Tribunal held an open hearing—a very brief one—which was to precede its taking action, persons who appeared expressed opposi tion to the customs program of Hat Societies council. Consequently, Tribunal put off action, stating that there had not been enough time for proper' consideration of the issue. Nothing further was done by Tribunal. No further consideration was given. Two days later, the program was pushed through Cabi net. 2. Of the 22 members of the old Cabinet, 16 will be graduated this Spring. Only six of them will be on campus next Fall when customs go into effect. Thus a group composed largely of people who will not be here during the customs period was responsible for passage of the pro gram. ONE THING IS CLEAR—THE question never was aired sufficiently to obtain the composite student viewpoint. Frankly, we doubt that the students as a whole would have supported the program. There are strong points in opposition to cm toms. but we question whether these ever were considered seriously by the student law makers. It is not too late to consider them now. It is not too late for the new Cabinet—which will to some extent be responsible for customs— to reconsider the program. It is not too late to ask the students to give their viewpoint on customs. The new Cabinet should make reconsidera tion of this question one of its first actions. It is not too late to modify the customs pro grim. or. if the student body so desires; to throw it out completely.

The writer's name will be withheld upon request, put no letter will be printed un less It is signed. Concern On Lorch TO THE EDITOR: The reasoning of the Col lege Board of Trustees in the recent dismissal of Dr. Lee Lorch is ,a matter of deep concern and confusion to me. Unless a better explanation of the COliege's stand is forthcoming, it is manifest that this action is the result of a highly prejudicial atti tude. This becomes particularly•obvious in the light of Dr. Lorch's excellent activities in vari ous student welfare groups, his competence and cooperative ability; these having been attested to by his colleagues. Hence there is good reason to be skeptical of the College's action. If they can, let them ac count for their stand. Gazette . . . .
