He stated that he felt that the freshmen needed some clarifications as to the purpose of customs. See said that customs were revived this year to help bring back the school spirit that has been so sadly lacking in the past few years, and to help revive class spirit. The Tribunal head said, "I can not at this time give the freshman a definite date for the removal of customs." He said that he can promise the freshmen that "cus toms will not carry over an un duly long period of time." He asks the freshmen's cooperation in carrying out customs, explain ing that most of the freshmen agree that customs are a good thing. 1:111111131113111113:13:1=1 BULLETIN All freshman men will be barred from the AIM dance in Rec hall to morrow night as punishment for the "revolt" Wednesday, Tribunal Chairman Neil See announced last night.

See emphasized that the complaint must be a protest of a specific incident and not a flat denunciation of customs. As to representation on Tribu nal by freshmen, See said that the All-College constitution estates that Tribunal shall be made up of four juniors and four seniors. Any change to give freshmen a seat on Tribunal would mean a ratifica tion of the constitution, he added. H. K. Wilson, dean of men, termed the mass revolt of the freshmen a "flare-up." He said that it was a good thing for the freshmen to let off steam as long as it didn't get too serious. He said that he hoped that mass meetings would continue to occur. Upholds Customs Another administration spokes man, Wilmer E. Kenworthy, assistant to the president in charge of student affairs, said "Customs were revived after careful consideration by the stu dent government, and thoroughly worked out by All-College Cabi net. Under the circumstances it would seem that the freshmen should take them in good spirits since they are neither drastic nor difficult. The demonstration was an evidence of class spirit, but not as constructive as might be wise."
