Plan Heard
Proposal Would Permit Dating,
Establish Joint Customs Board
• A proposed revision of freshman customs regulations which
would permit limited dating to freshmen undergoing customs was
read at a meeting of the freshman class last night by Robert Smoot,
class president.
The suggested plan, which was the only major change in the
customs program, would allow dating from 5:30 p.m. each Friday to
5:30 p.m. Sunday, except during
the • first week of customs when
no dating at all would be permit
ted.
Smoot also read the prelimi
nary draft for a proposed joint
Customs board and joint customs
enforcement to th e approxi
mately 75 freshmen present at
the meeting.
The proposal would call for the
establishment of a Freshman
Customs Board composed of four
Upperclassmen and four upper
classwomen, with the chairmen
of Tribunal and : judicial serving
as co-chairmen. -
The suggested board would be
empowered to: (1) establish,_ en
force, interpret, and be respons
ible for the conduct of the fresh
man customs program; (2) use its
discretion in .the enforcement of
joint enforcement days; (3) de
cide on a date for the conclusion
of customs; (4) determine customs
holidays, and (5) determine all
immunities as provided for in the
regulations.
The Freshman Customs Board,
if approved by All-College Cabi
net, would necessitate a change in
the section of the All-College
Constitution which delegates to
Judicial and Tribunal the power
to control customs.
Under the new proposal viola
tors of freshman customs regula
tions would be brought before the
Freshman Customs Board which
would have the right to decide
the guilt or innocence of the par
ty involved as well as the pun
ishment to be inflicted. In cases
involving women, the chairman
of Judicial would sit as chairman

Suggestions
On Customs
Approved
By MARSHALL 0. DONLEY
Tribunal last night unani
mously approved a preliminary
group of • recommendations con
cerning freshman customs.
The recommendations included
a suggestion for a joint program
of customs for freshman men
and women, with an eight person
board to handle violations. The
board, to consist of four men and
four women, would be the first
step in customs enforcement,
with appeal powers granted to a
second judiciary group.
The suggestions, which were
approved at a business meeting
following the weekly Tribunal
judiciary meeting, would also al
low more lenient freshman dating
rulings and would add a few
minor duties to freshman cus
toms.
Fifteen cases, all involving
parking or driving violations on
the campus, were heard by Tri
bunal at the judiciary meeting.
Eight students were fined $1
for parking violations, with six of
the fines being suspended. The
two students whose fines were
sustained were charged with at
least three traffic violations.
Five students were given warn
ings by Tribunal and were' told
that another offense would be
considered finable. The group
held no complaint against one
student on the grounds of mis
interpretation of the conditions of
his violation.
