Rock Chalk Pile Idea Grows in Popularity Among Hill Students
Plans for Tradition day, May 7, and the establishment of a Rock Chalk Pile are gaining impetus as the interest of the students is attracted to the rock climbing facilities believed by Sachen members that the movement will continue to gain in popularity as the day draws near. The freshmen are expressing heartfelt excitement to Stanley Packard, president of the class of 239; despite the fact that there has been a mistaken idea among the freshmen students concerning the new resolution.
"We do not want the freshmen to misunderstand the situation. The officers of the committee promised that they would not be there because they believed that such action would meet with the approval of all members of the class and would provoke immediate interest in the movement and body of traditions at the University."
"The reloning of the capa is optioned on our part, and is not prescribed by Sachen as a requirement," Packard said Saturday. "We have been asked to co-operate with the senior organization in the establishment of the Rock Chalk Plile; and we, as well as our team, feel that the wearing of the capa is better to create a spirit of loyalty and love for tradition on Mount Oreand
Joe Dumm, chairman of the committee, expressed a desire Saturday that the freshman investigate the situation if they believed the redoning of the clips was being forced upon them. We have solved the question of disciplinary training as well as we can. So far, we are still observers of our class will be willing to comply with the new regulations set forth by Sachem in a voluntary spirit.
