Coeds Come Stag Clarifying the status of the affairs, which have proven exceedingly popu lar in the. past, Graham Memorial di rector Martha Rice stated, "I would like to encourage all coeds, as well as men students to come stag,' and get acquainted. As always these affairs will be completely informal, and if you can't dance, come out anoT watch the crowd." "As is the practice at many other schools, double-breaking will be the rule all the way through the dancing. I sincerely hope more coeds will take the initiative in breaking down the heavy stag lines at our dances, by breaking on an equal status with men students. All of our dances this sum mer will be of this type, and I feel sure they will be much more enjoyable this way."

Tonight's dancing will be under the direction of Bob Colepaugh, Graham Memorial office assistant. Several dif ferent types of dances are scheduled for the future on the weekly dance slate.

It was only a country well then, with achain and windlass, but it furnished all of the water that the students used. When a warm bath was desired in that day the more energetic beavers would draw the water from the old oaken bucket, then heat it over a wood fire built behind Old East. It is also reported that after the trustees pass ed regulations condemning the prac tice of keeping a barrel of whiskey in one's room, some of the students found it necessary to drink the water, too. Whiskey in the Well One incident in particular that has been verbally recorded from the time the new temperance society was formed concerns the senior who was being pursued by Dr. Swain, then president of the University.

Its provisions went into effect last night at 6 p. m.

The agreement governs the privilege of coeds visiting fraternity houses, and the fraternity conduct in the presence of coed visitors. All fraternity houses and all coeds, both graduate and undergraduate, are responsible to this agreement. The HPB has the authority to issue the agreement and the duty to see that it is enforced. -This enforcement comes through periodic in spections and voluntary reporting by fraternities of any violations that have occurred in the house or on the premises. The signed. agreement is a pledge by the fraternity house to uphold its provisions and all mem bers of the Interfratemittf Council, HPB, and all Coeds are bound by the Honor Code to report violations of this agreement. For the benefit of the new coeds and fraternity members who have just re turned to campus this quarter, the HPB wishes to call attention to the pro visions that affect them: 1. Only those organizations whose houses have been approved by the HPB shall be allowed coed visiting privileges. 2. Approved houses may entertain women students only in the social rooms, hall, porches, and dining halls cf their houses. 3. Approved houses shall be open to coeds from 12 o'clock noon until the coed dormitory closing time. 4.

Every organization is responsible for any violations of the rules of this agreement which occurs in its house or on its premises. Fraternity members, boarders, and visitors are responsible to this agreement. The HPB hopes that all coeds and fraternity members will become familiar with the agreement, and it trusts that violations during these Summer Ses sions will be held to the minimum.
