The crowd was told that there was an outside chance that the winner of the show would be given a chance to appear on the Arthur Godfrey Talent show. Noel Peterson and Frederick Humphreys, 'running under the name Pete and Muggs, had diffi culty getting the audience to laugh with a comedy act that started the show. Janice Berg, lovely blonde so prano, did a workmanlike job rendering "Some Day," and "Be My Love."

Neil See, chairman of Tribunal, announced the end of the cus toms period yesterday, releasing 61 frosh from the regulations im posed on them Feb. 7. The hazing period was considerably shorter this semester than it was in the fall, in compliance with suggestions received from the men who went through customs then, See said. Hazing Requirements The men were required to wear dinks, name cards, and black bow ties for only 17 days this semes ter, compared with 41 days in the fall. "This customs . period could have been better," See said, "but due to the small number of men this semester, the regulations were harder to enforce." He remarked that the frosh hatmen "polo" game, won by the hatmen, 2-0, was one of the high lights of the 17 day period. Good-Natured Competition See said that he hoped that some such event would be in cluded in all the customs pro grams in the future. Events of this type helped to create a sense of good-natured competition be tween the first-year men and the hatmen, "policemen" Of the cus toms rules, according to See. Recommendations of or next year's program will be left with Tribunal, the enforcing body for customs, he said. Chief among them will be a suggestion that the period of hazing be kept short, possibly about three or freir weeks.
