Miss Yerger stated, however, that the plans for joint enforce ment are not dead.' She said she and David Mutchler, 1 Tribunal .chairman, planned to continue working on a policy of joint en forcement that can be put into effect next fall. Because so few freshman wom en will be coming to the campus for the spring semester, Miss Yer ger said she and Mutchler could see no necessity for changing the current customs set-up. (The Admissions office said yes terday that it expected approxi mately 120 freshmen to enroll for the spring semester, an estimated 45 of whom will' be women. At present, 56 men and 38 women are actually "enrolled.) Miss Yerger/also said that there would be no changes in women’s customs for the incoming fresh men. According to Mutchler, men’s customs will remain virtually un changed. The only major addi tion to the - program is a plan which will require all frosh men to meet at specific places on cam pus at least once a week. At these meetings hatmen will question the. new students oh‘customs rules and lead them in’' cheers and songs.
